Starting point is 00:00:00 The folks over at Keltek, it's a Florida company. You guys are familiar with Keltek. They have a peacekeepers program supporting those who protect the communities, military law enforcement, church security teams and SROs. Their faith-based teams and SROs rely usually on small concealable pistols with limited range in power. Keltek has long guns that can solve that problem and they can fold compact for discrete carry and deploy in seconds with full rifle capability. And they get mission ready support participants in the peacekeeper program like extra platform testing, training, et cetera. The program's active. They're shipping, they're equipping over two dozen churches throughout their faith-based security network in every Brevard County school. And Caltech is proudly partnering with the faith-based security network, giving members access to peer training, security
Starting point is 00:00:44 insights, mission-ready tools tailored to faith environments. If you are interested in the Peacekeepers program and you would like to participate, you can fill out the contact form at at Keltecweapons.com slash Dana. That's K-E-L-T-C-Weapons.com.com. slash Dana. Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission
Starting point is 00:01:08 to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right, so, oh, Kelly. There are a couple that are crazy here. I'm trying to figure out which ones. I don't think I want to do this one.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Let's do the, we'll start with the, I guess the strippers. Is there, there's a zone for this? Is that what I am to understand, Kane? Uh, I would imagine. Okay, so, CBS, Channel 12, beachgoers arrested for stripping outside the designated stripping zone in St. Lucy County.
Starting point is 00:01:45 This is in Florida. Some Florida folks, there was a surge in complaints about unauthorized new detay at the, wow. Are you serious? This is the name of it. Yeah. Kane. guys, I'm just reading you the news, okay? I'm just going to read it as is.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Okay, here we go. St. Louis, St. Lucy County Sheriff's Office said it is responding to a surge in complaints about unauthorized nudity at the Little Mud Creek boat ramp. Known for its nude optional zone. There's a location nearby that's designated as such. The parking area at the Blind Creek Beach is being. paved, parking lots closed, so a lot of people have to go to Little Mud Creek. I swear, there's a giant cosmic joke that's been played on me right now. The sheriff's office says that you, if you go naked at a beach that is not clothing optional,
Starting point is 00:02:55 then you will get arrested. And why is it always people who need to go to the gym that are pictured? I'm just saying, they have warning signs all over at Little Mud Creek. I cannot believe this is the name of it. I cannot. I'm done. I'm done with this story. So they're arresting people. That's it. I'm done. I'm not even, it gets worse. It gets worse if you can believe that it does.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Let's talk about the Florida man that woke up from a coma to blame his pregnant girlfriend for a car crash before he kicked the bucket. Dang. I mean, that's some spite right there. Headline, Florida man wakes from coma to blame pregnant girlfriend from car crash, full car crash before dying from injuries. He's accused as pregnant, well, they said pregnant wife and then now it's girlfriend, which one is. it of purposefully calling a violent car crash that sent him into a coma and then he tragically succumbed to his injuries. But he woke up apparently just enough to say it's her fault. He said his girlfriend, quote, he said his girlfriend said, quote, I don't care what happens.
Starting point is 00:03:53 You'll get what you deserve. Started driving recklessly on Interstate 95 in Flager County. They were reportedly in the middle of an argument. And according to court papers, and he called, we called that his girlfriend caused the car to roll into a tree severely injuring both. and he slipped into a coma but recovered enough to make the claims against her. She's, wow, she was, she and the baby survived the car crash and she was taken into custody. Oh my gosh, that's insane. Florida woman teacher shows up high on cocaine to work and then lets her kids hit her vape pin. Cape Coral is what happens.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I'm just saying. They said the teacher showed. up to work, high as the kite on cocaine, and then allowed her students to use her vape. Nuria Akuna, that's the teacher, at Island Coast High School in Cape Coral. They, friends of hers, literally are all talking to the press. They say it's heartbreaking, but not surprising. But, yeah, she's in a lot of trouble because you can't be snort and coke and then going into a classroom full of students and then let them take kids off your vape pen.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It can't happen that way. Sometimes makeup can be super frustrating. It's too heavy. There are too many steps. And if you don't have the right tools, it's just. just doesn't look natural. And we are in the natural healthy girl era of makeup right now.

This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve of when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now?
Starting point is 00:06:44 Come on. So what, I'm not going to be distracted by, oh, does the guy have a big, whiffon hammer? What about those babies? She's, Kane, is a hip, Kane. She's a lot. What about the babies? That's, that's Kamala Harris, who's very upset.
Starting point is 00:07:09 She says, she's talking about Trump. She says he wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends. Can I just, pull stop for a second. First off, welcome. Back, everybody. Everybody's got their sodies. Y'all got your tea, y'all topped off your coffee. Okay, pulp chair. Welcome back to chats at Rumble. If you're not listening terrestrially in one of the 50 states and then also in Canada and elsewhere, then you can live stream the show, Channel 347 Direct TV. For the millionth time. For the Epstein time, Kane. The ballroom is paid for by private non-taxpayer money.
Starting point is 00:07:49 It stays at the White House. When Trump leaves the White House, he's not going to pack up the ballroom like a pack-and-play and take it with him to Mar-a-Lago. Just so we are convinced, Kaine, I watched some of the construction videos that are on this service that we call the Internet. and they were placing giant concrete things on their cane. That looks like that would be a lot to pack up and take to Mar-a-Lago. So the ballroom stays at the White House.
Starting point is 00:08:35 So that means whoever, whome is going to be in the White House after POTUS, they are going to be able to use the ballroom. Okay. Currently, it's just a bunch of us, well, now it's not even existence, but it was a bunch of asbestosies. That's a word, right? Asbesto-e, we're making that a word. Offices that were small and cramped and not really into use. And when people came for state dinners, they would walk through the East Wing,
Starting point is 00:09:12 they would get the little picture you guys saw the little the photo call wall they get the little picture then they have to go outside cold rain doesn't matter then they go outside in a giant tent this is to eliminate the having to eat in a tent it's also more secure just saying so it stays there it is a free ballroom canne you got a free ballroom room. I got a free ballroom. You guys all got a free ballroom. That's our ball. It's the people's ballroom. And it's all private money. Now, if Trump was, again, packing it up like a pack and play and could take it much in the way how Hillary Clinton stole cutlery and dishes and all kinds of stuff from the White House when she left, you guys remember that, right? The Clintons stole
Starting point is 00:10:12 when they were leaving the White House after they law after he turned out they actually were required to turn like $30,000 worth of household goods back
Starting point is 00:10:26 because they actually sorry that was what they were required to return they apparently took almost $200,000 of things sorry they took furnishings they took gifts because if you give So say that you, say that you're a ceramics artist and you do a wonderful platter that you would like for the first family to have and you give it to them.
Starting point is 00:10:54 They can't keep it personally. If it's a gift, if it's a value over X amount, it's not, I mean, they have to record everything. But that's not something they can keep. It goes into this repository of gifts. And they kind of circulate. They have a whole committee that is all about keeping the White House running and they change things out and do it. all this stuff. So that's, nothing is given to you that is like actually yours. So they, they ended up, they, I mean, who takes a rug? The Clintons took the rugs. They took literal rugs. They stole
Starting point is 00:11:26 cutlery. Who does that? That's like staying at the hotel and, you know, taking all their linens. That's so, that is so, and I say this is somebody who comes from a rural area and you could definitely say, God love them. I think rednecks are the best people ever. But that's like, that's so declass A. It's not redneck because it insults rednecks. It's just trashy. Right. It's trashy. They stole all of these things. They, I mean, they had even gifts that were given to them, but it was specifically, they were specifically intended to be a permanent part of the White House collection. They were taking those. I am trying to wrap my head. I am. I am trying to wrap my head around, legit walking. I mean, they took a sofa. They just straight up stole a sofa from the
Starting point is 00:12:20 White House. They China, flatware, rugs, televisions, they took televisions. They took all kinds of furnishings. Didn't they take drapery, I think, too? So it got so bad that there was an investigation that was opened, a government accountability office. And they actually, because of what the Clintons were stealing, the GAO had to come up with this whole other system of tracking gifts and all of this stuff and to document allegations of like general vandalism and missing items. So you know that when they took the like the W, the Clintons took the W keys out and all this stuff because they, I mean, that's how bad all this stuff was. After he left, they had a Georgia W. Bush show all of the W keys and they took doorknobs and
Starting point is 00:13:10 I'm not kidding you. That's the stuff that they were doing. It was so childish. And the Clintons actually had a lawyer up and deal with it. And then finally years after, like I think it was like a year into the W. Bush administration, they considered the matter closed because they had to pay six figures for a lot of the stuff that they stole and return a bunch of stuff. That was the Clintons. So this, I'm putting that up because all of these people that are screaming over the people's ballroom had nothing to say about that. and I know because I looked. I went and I spent about an hour and a half of my life looking to see if they had condemned any of that.
Starting point is 00:13:48 And they hadn't. Not a single peep, not a column. Nothing. Nothing. I mean, ABC had a piece on it. I mean, it's all over the Webber Nets. Can you imagine having to shamefully return things? I can't, I just, so trashy.
Starting point is 00:14:07 It is so trashy. So, and one of the examples, executive managers of the White House was very, they were, they were reviewing and they thought it was, because it falls under park service. So it's like part of the park service purview. And they had taken stuff that had been earmarked for like one redecoration project, et cetera. It was just insane. So they're all mad over the ballroom that stays there. But they had to say nothing over that. I mean, I don't know. What, what say you, Kamala? Cut five, Juan. What does Kamala say to all this? Let's just see. Right. Like, am I just like, fuck it? What is with this brutalist lighting? Yeah, exactly. Don't ask the question with pretense. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what I mean.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Are you just like, it doesn't matter? Because the book had a fucking energy. Yeah, I think there is that energy in the book. What were all those little swords of Damocles that were hanging about their table? That was very interesting. Oh my gosh. This is, I don't know.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Starting point is 00:16:28 All right. So first, banks and retailers are running short on pennies because the U.S. meant to stop making them. When's the last time you ever used a penny? I don't know. I was thinking about this. I don't know when the last time I've ever... When is the last time you've ever held a penny? I'm a germaphobs. What about you?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Do you even have a penny cane? Yeah, I have actually. I have some old pennies. I collect coins. I have some old pennies at home. But I don't use pennies. Steve, do you carry change around? Do you have, like, actually, I've changed.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I've got pennies in my car right now. Juan, do you carry change around? No. See, Juan's like, no. It's gross. It's got to touch it. It's germy. But banks, so they've stopped making them.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Banks and retailers have run short on this. And so they... Costs more to make them, then they're worth. It does. What is it? It costs three cents to make one cent? Yeah, it's more than a penny. Yeah, it's kind of, so I agree.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It's kind of, you know, so that's fine. Amazon has raised their spending forecast to $125 billion as third quarter results. Top estimates. Also, in Oklahoma, a Tacoma Park man is accused of disguising himself to film women in Jim locker rooms. Sorry, this is in Montgomery County, Maryland. Excuse me. For why is it, it's an Oklahoma press with a Tacoma Washington reporter.
Starting point is 00:17:45 And they're talking about Montgomery County, Maryland. Okay. But facing multiple charges, they said he dressed up as a woman and started secretly recording women in Jim locker rooms. 44-year-old, I can't even say his name. How do you say his name? Shikundi Tati? Yeah, that sounds right. He was arrested Wednesday. He was at a planet fitness because dudes can go in the ladies' locker. rooms and they began tracking him he apparently went to like different gyms one life fitness uh the
Starting point is 00:18:11 planet fitness different ones and was recording women dressed up dressing in the locker room without their consent so now he's in major trouble but that's what happens when you remove protections for women's locker rooms stick with us we got more in store count yourself lucky if you don't know what's been happening on social media and it's not just social media it's what's been happening on the right. And a lot of people are like, why are we in the weeds because we have to fight the left? Well, God made us to give the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. So that's a great thing, right? But also, it's because we don't want to be like the left. And here's what I mean. You guys have seen what has happened with the left when they allowed the crazies to run the party.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And now look, they're losing everything. This is why I always scratch my head when people, I don't know why people want to rob the GOP of Wens. When they go, well, we're tired of losing. We need to start winning. We got to start doing this and taking it back. Dudes, we own all of, we run Washington. The border is closed. We're redefining trade deals all over the world.
Starting point is 00:19:20 We have rooted out and are rooting out all of the abuse of government, like what was done with the FISA court and what's been done with Arctic Frost. we got judges on the Supreme Court and reshaped it. We reshaped a third of the judiciary. What are you talking about? When I hear people say this, I honestly wonder if it's not a siop from the left to try to get the right to question our own victories. So when people say we're not winning, I mean, for crying out loud, we got DEI unfunded. That's rolling back.
Starting point is 00:19:57 What are you mad about? We haven't gotten in any more wars. What are you mad about? And I say this because there is a major power play underway. A lot of us have seen it. We just kind of watched it. But now it's all in front and center. And it has exploded.
Starting point is 00:20:18 So like I said, you don't have to be in the weeds and know all of this stuff, but it is going to affect you. It's going to affect how you vote and who you vote for at some point. So here's the lollay of the land. This is what happened last night. Heritage Foundation. And we've reached out to Kevin. Roberts, who is the individual with Heritage who made the statement. Everybody I think is familiar with the Heritage Foundation, right? Everybody's familiar with them. I got a Salvatore Prize. I have the
Starting point is 00:20:48 certificate on my wall that they sent for the Tea Party stuff during the Tea Party Day. I've hosted events for Heritage. I've helped fun, I've done a lot of stuff for Heritage Foundation over the years and have always appreciated them. Daily Signal is their publication. And Kevin Roberts, who is the current president of heritage decided to wade into the big fight that has been developing on the right. I think it was bad for Roberts to have done that. It would have been better had he not said anything. But I hear a lot from certain people that it's very important to have a free exchange of ideas. I've been doing this in radio since 2008. We have a daily listening audience of Ken, how many would you say? Just radio alone, I would say on the minimum is about 10.
Starting point is 00:21:37 10 to 12 million. 10 to 12 million. So I love that you have $400,000 for your 400,000 people watching your live stream. We have 10 million that listen to restarily around the nation, plus all of the stuff that we have digitally. Daily. Monday through Friday, three hours a day. And I've reached out, we've reached out to Kevin Roberts beginning last night because we wanted to talk to him about what he's talked about at Heritage. and he does not want to come on.
Starting point is 00:22:12 First, they told us that very conveniently he was going to be in a car for the entirety of our show and wasn't going to be able to join. And maybe they have a special car where telephones don't work. I don't know. But that's, you know, possibility. Who knows? You know, I don't know. And now they've gone radio silent and we haven't heard any of them.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Now, I'm going to put this out there too. I've reached out to the big players that are in this or the main players that are in this huge fight. And it's very interesting that people who have always wanted to have me on have always reached out. I've never pursued them to go on anybody's programs. It's always reverse because I'm just busy. I get a debate coming up next week. Suddenly now, the same people who talk about the free exchange of ideas, they go radio silent when you actually mean what you say and you want a free exchange of. ideas. So this all stems from Tucker Carlson having on that Fuentes guy who I've written about over
Starting point is 00:23:18 at Substack and I put a lot, I've heard a lot from you guys. A lot of you guys did not know all of this stuff. There's a bigger picture here, but this is just what happens. So he has him on. This is a guy and look, how dare you judge somebody by what they tell you about them, right? Ooh, Kelleher. How dare you judge someone's character by the things they say and the things they do, am I right? Like, especially the stuff that they tell you over and over and over again, countless videos that are online, correct? This is an individual, the Fuentes guy, who has said that Hitler is very cool. He says he admires Stalin.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And, well, it's just a lot of stuff. Let's just go ahead and play cut three. I can't believe I'm playing this on my show, but I want you guys to understand who we're talking about in terms of who was interviewed. This is one cut. Hamler was a penophile
Starting point is 00:24:18 and kind of a pagan. It's like, well, he was also really cool. So, you know, time to grow up. We're not children anymore. Am I right? Am I right? Am I right, boys?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Am I right? Let's go. He was also really fucking cool. and any boy knows that. Anybody who watches these videos where he's rolling... He's not joking. This is not something that he...
Starting point is 00:24:45 And that's always the last refuge of the cowards. They are always like, no, no, no. I was joking in all of the videos where I said the same thing, basically over and over again. I don't know. Maybe play cut two for me. Go ahead and play cut two.
Starting point is 00:24:57 This is what I'm talking about. I don't. It's sort of like how women, a lot of women want to be raped. And when I say raped, I mean, like, that sounds bad when I say it like that. But there's like a lot of women that really want a guy to beat the shit out of them.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But also they have to pretend, but part of it is they have to pretend like they don't. Now, there's some, I don't know if we can actually play this. This is something I was going to ask Juan. It's in Slack, by the way. But let's not forget, this is also a guy who got caught accidentally streaming gay porn during his live stream. You know how like you have 10? tabs open on your computer and I guess he had one open where he had been having some individual time off stream and it was something that was caught by the whole audience. So I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:25:50 this is he's like a single dude. He's childless, no girlfriend. I, you know, I, this is who Tucker was interviewing. And, you know, when he was saying that he admired Stalin, there was no pushback when he was he was denying the principle or the belief of e pluribusunum. There was no pushback. There was no pushback on basically kind of the character assassination of Christians by assuming that every single person is Zionist or by assuming even that Zionists are are as heretical as the people who are who are not following other commands of the Bible. I mean, there's a lot there. this is this is what we're talking about there's a reason why
Starting point is 00:26:36 I don't go and this is the gay porn video that ended up accidentally streaming when he we have it censored for those of you just closed your eyes you can see his chat or like what the chat was like what in the world his chat yeah they were like what is happening it would be like me
Starting point is 00:26:51 it would be like right now we have a live stream and the chats at rumble it would be like you being able to see my four foot wide screen here and then you would see literally like a gay porn thing pop up. That's what happened. So this guy is kind of like the avatar for what I call the woke rike. It's people who think that they're right leaning, but they're really not because they worship at the altar of identity politics. It's all about identity politics. And it's not even about principle. We're in a race for power. And this is ultimately what's
Starting point is 00:27:25 happening. Having someone like that on, someone asked me, well, why don't you have so and so on for you know, why wouldn't you do it? Well, for the same reason that I'm not going to go behind the 7-Eleven that's like at the corner of, you know, the nearest intersection and go and talk to the hobo that's talking to himself while he's digging through the trash and scratching his groin. That's the same reason I'm not going to go bring that guy on my show to talk about quantitative easing to answer your question. This idea that, oh, we're having a free exchange of ideas. Are we though? Because I see one person having a one type of guest. There was no pushback on Ted Cruz. There was no pushback on Fuentes the way that there was with Ted Cruz. So don't tell me that it was, there was a debate that took place because there wasn't. I watched the whole two-hour thing. It was not the same interview. And I dare say that Ted Cruz was treated like an enemy of the state and the other was treated like an ally. So how does this involve Kevin Roberts over at Heritage? Kevin Roberts. Kevin Roberts. Roberts decided to make a video of it and call out the people who are critical of questioning
Starting point is 00:28:42 why there was no pushback in that interview. And I watched the whole two-hour thing and I disagree. I don't think there was any pushback at all. There was, it was kid gloved. Now, I reached out to Tucker. I've known Tucker for a number of years. He does not want to come on air with me. He did not want to have that conversation. And that's all I'm going to say about it because I assured him that I was going to keep, I'm not going to leak text and do all that stuff. But I will say I offered it. I go where I walked on stage where I had an arena of people screaming burn her. I'm going to debate gun control in Chicago next week. Clearly, I have no issue entering the arena of free ideas and debating those ideas. I don't know why other people who
Starting point is 00:29:26 claim that they hold free speech at the same standard do not have that same devotion to exercise of free ideas and the exchange of them. So I had reached out. I said, I'm genuinely interested in talking about this. And I was told absolutely not. I have my own platform. And that's what we're doing. Okay. All right. That's fine. My door's always been open. It's always been open. But so Kevin Roberts, one of the things, because this is a big thing, one of the things we're going to do is we're going to break this down. Why did Kevin Roberts do this video? The guy at heritage. Why would heritage, which has been this, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:08 a lot of people view it as this stalwart in the movement. Why would they get involved? First off, what did he say? Why would they get involved? And now, why has he gone radio silent? Now, they were very amenable in the beginning, Kane, and you can tell the folks this. They were talking to you from last night,
Starting point is 00:30:26 and then all of a sudden now there's nada. Yeah, we were going back and forth trying to figure out a time, offered every bit of opportunity that we had, even offered something after the show if you'd like to tape show. I cleared my whole schedule and I'm like, I'll take it live on YouTube. And that's when he, you know, apparently is in a car during the entire time.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I think for the whole day at this point now, right? He said, hey, by phone is an option. We'd prefer Zoom. It'd be nice. But and then he's like, well, it can't be out of the car until 3 o'clock Eastern. And now here we are not getting response. from the 3 o'clock Eastern offer that they add. So it's completely dark for the last two hours, 20 minutes?
Starting point is 00:31:08 Yeah. So we, I mean, like I said, I cleared my entire schedule, and I haven't heard. If you are such a big champion of free speech, then you'll join me on air. And you'll have that free, we'll have that exchange of ideas. I'm genuinely interested in this. Unlike other people, I'm not an edge lord out there looking for clicks. that's why I don't have some of these guests on. That's why I don't do some of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I'm going to have you know that I've fought back against the people who employ me on this stuff. I have had people who have tried to get me on all of these Edge Lord shows and do this. And I have said, no, no, no. I am not doing that. I am not prostituting myself out for clicks. That's what a lot of this is. I absolutely refuse. Hey, I don't need to do it.
Starting point is 00:31:58 B, I don't want to do it. And C, it doesn't benefit anybody. Again, for the same reason that I don't bring the hobo digging through the trash, scratching his ass, while he's sitting here talking to himself, you know, rummaging through the dumpster behind the 7-Eleven. For the same reason, I don't bring that guy on and sit here and go, why don't you tell me about foreign policy and Venezuela and Panama Canal and CCP, and then let's go into quantitative easing or quantitative tightening, whatever we want. It's for the same reason.
