Dana Lashes
Absurd Truth podcast,
sponsored by Keltec.
It's his life mission
to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida, man.
All right.
So, oh, no.
Why did that's no?
We're skipping that one.
Because I like how Kane put something in there
and says,
good luck with this one.
I'm not doing that one.
What?
Let's see. I had the excavator yesterday.
Huh?
You just going to skip it?
Yeah, I am. I'm totally going to skip it.
This guy was arrested, Florida man, after falling out of a boat and giving a false name to deputies.
Okay. Lakeland, Florida.
This feller, it was on Sunday, the Pope County Fire Rescue, they responded to a call about two boaters,
falling into Crystal Lake and Lakeland.
Another man jumped in with pool noodles to try to save the two boaters, according to PCSO.
Timothy Lansthrop gave a false name to deputies after they were checked out by medics and they found his true identity through a fingerprint.
I want to know what name. See, they didn't give the name. He had six warrants on him.
So that's why he was arrested and why he probably gave a fake name because he had six warrants on him and, you know, I wouldn't have going to have that.
So he gave false information to deputies and he was arrested. I wonder what name he gave.
Terd-Ferguson. T-E-R-D. T-Fergerson. It's my name.
Let's see. Oh, this woman punched a Florida woman punched a girl over a homework mistake.
She looks like she was crying in her mugshot. A Florida woman allegedly grabbed a girl by the collar and punched her repeatedly in the face because she had made mistakes on her homework assignment.
Margaret Gissom, 35, is accused of repeatedly striking the girl, according to the affidavit.
She became upset because the victim was doing her homework wrong after school. The victim's age is not specified.
the woman grabbed the victim by her collar, punched her in the face.
She had a busted blood vessel in her left eye and a bruise on her left lip.
And she said the police had gist and became upset because the victim was giving wrong.
Why don't you help her with her homework?
That's not how you help a kid get the right answer, right?
That is not how you do that.
Not at all.
Now this woman, and this is a North Fort Myers woman who attacked
a man with a machete and chopped part of his thumb off.
He is recovering.
Lee County Sheriff arrested Sheila King this past Saturday with an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
They said that she internally harmed the man and caused permanent bodily disfigurement.
She got mad.
So apparently the guy was a squatter who was living on her property and wasn't doing chores that she...
Is it a squatter if you're letting them live there in exchange for doing chores?
Okay. So that was the arrangement.
He was living there and he was supposed to be doing chores and he wasn't doing them.
So she took a machete and started swinging it around, hit a table and chopped part of his thumb off.
Yeah.
So, and she said, she told police that he had been squatting for several months and got mad when she,
or Dale and Martin said he on the property.
She was squatting for several months.
She said that he was squatting.
So regardless, they're having to go to court.
She chopped his thumb off.
She looks like a thumb.
chopping off kind of lady too.
I can't text indeed to get a job.
Yeah, that's exactly.
The P15, this is a
great company
and this is a great firearm.
If you are unfamiliar with the P15,
you need not be.
It is the smallest, thinnest,
double stack 9mm that
you can get on the market.
And with the P15,
it comes in two versions.
It's the metal version
and the polymer version and the metal
versions. I mean, I like both of them.
And I think they're both great
for different things too. The metal version has that gorgeous walnut wood frame with the textured
grip. It's really, it's just a mix-it-knath-looking gun. Comes to two magazines, both of them do.
Standard 15-round with minimal pinky extension. You have a flush-fit double-stack mag that holds 12 rounds
as well. Tritium and fiber optic front site. You've got a fully adjustable fiber optic two-dot rear.
And lifetime warranty. Strike or fire reliability, great smooth trigger pool. It is just ideal,
and it's from the inventors of the microcompact pistol category. So it's a great concealed carry gun.
It's the lightest one, the lightest 9mm I have.
You don't lose any stopping power at all, and you get ultimate concealability.
It's innovation, performance, and Keltec.

It's the P-15. Tell them Dana sent you.
Relieved that former President Trump is safe,
and I want the American people to know that the men and women of the FBI are working tirelessly
to get to the bottom of what happened.
Our work is very much ongoing, and we're just,
a few days into the investigation.
So we're limited in what we can say.
At this point, what I can say is that we have dedicated the full force of the FBI to this
investigation, and that runs the gamut from criminal to national security resources,
from tactical support, to evidence response teams, from forensic scientists to operational
technology personnel and I could go on.
Together, we're working around the clock.
to investigate this.
They've got a lot of activities happening right there.
That's FBI director, Chris Ray, who's talking about everything that they're doing now
after the second time somebody was attempting to take shots at the former president of the United States.
Welcome back to the program.
Your lovable crumagin here with you, Dana Lash.
You can listen Coast to Coast, Channel 347, Direct TV as well.
Rumble where all of the shenanigans happen and on X.
I've got to talk to my good friend.
And I think this is, is this the first or second time we've had her on?
the show. We need to have her on more often. I think this is the second time. She's, I,
out of all the women in media, she's the one I love the most. Megan Kelly, who, as you know,
she is the host of her own show. She doesn't really need an introduction. She's on Sirius XM.
You can listen to her show. Channel, it's easy to remember. It's one-one-one. So it's just
one number you got to remember three times, and you can watch her everyday weekday at noon Eastern.
Megan, so good to have you. I love that you're joining me. It's good to see you.
I keep that beautiful intro. I love you, too.
Oh, thank you. You're very nice. I don't know if people know. I've known Megan for a really long time.
And there are a lot of people in this industry that get real high off their own stash. And I always think that you've been, you've been the realist. And you've also been the nicest person that I've met in this industry. And that's why we love you.
It's funny. You're saying that because I'm watching you getting ready for the show to come back on the air and you're sort of jamming along the music. And I'm thinking, this is literally the coolest person I know.
There is nobody cooler.
Glad I was blowing my nose or something.
I got to remember that for the future.
You're the kind of person.
I wish I could be when I like go out and people see me in public.
But I am not cool.
I've just never mastered cool.
You've mastered cool.
Oh my gosh.
Now I'm going to have to grease my head to get it out of the door.
That's going to be a mess.
But I appreciate you joining me.
Let me get your reaction on this.
So we played this sound.
This is the second time now.
somebody's attempted to take a shot at the former president.
I'm trying to figure out how a dude in a bright pink shirt,
we all saw this guy's choice of clothing, bright pink,
like Lily Pulitzer pink in the bush for 12 hours.
Nobody notices.
I mean, I know that, you know, like if my garden gnome by the front door is out of place,
like how are you Secret Service and you don't know this?
It's a good point about the color of the shirt.
I hadn't thought of that before.
I mean, obviously yesterday when the Secret Service director spoke to this, he intentionally dodged when asked if they had patrolled the perimeter.
Like, why didn't you patrol the perimeter and did you actually patrol this particular area?
And he got out of bounds.
It's very clear they either didn't, which is my bet, or they did and they did a crappy job of it.
Because obviously the guy was there.
And not only did he have the pink shirt on, but he's got the blonde spiky hair.
He has two backpacks.
Oh, in the matter of his weapon.
So he would have been tough to miss, I think, because my understanding is that the greenery is on the other side of the fence, on the inside of the fence.
But in any event, it's such an obvious porous point from which anybody could try to get Trump that you would understand this is actually an important part to patrol because the club itself is private.
So you're not thinking one of the members is going to do this.
If it's going to be somebody from the outside, this is exactly where they're.
they'd come on the outside facing the highway. So like if you have patrol duties, wouldn't this be
spot number one? And no matter what, even if there are bushes up against it on the side that
either sort of the outside, of course as a Secret Service guy, you've got to get in there.
You've got to look. You got to make sure nobody's hiding. It's just an obvious fail.
This is two perimeter fails and they continue gaslighting us about what a great job they did.
No one takes anything away from the agent that actually found the guy. He's not the problem.
the plan is the problem.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I mean, the agent who saw this guy, saw the rifle apparently poking out, the barrel of the
rifle poking out.
I mean, good on that agent because that was a split second reaction and they neutralized,
well, attempted to neutralize that threat.
But you bring up a really good point as well.
I mean, to not even look at the perimeter.
And that brought up the question of, well, what point does someone who's the former president,
and I realize it's new territory, the former president who's running again and could be
the potential next point.
president, do they get their security kind of like bumped up to the premium package? Like,
what's the, I'm just curious about the level of tiers for secret security, like secret service security.
Let me tell you what the premium package is. It's Eric Prince, call him and let him just handle it and get
rid of all the secret service. I mean, truly, you need somebody who's in the full-time business of
security because these circuit service agents, well, I'm sure the couple who are around Trump all the
time really would take a bullet for him. As we've seen, this is a multi-
person job and we don't have a lot of faith in the other tears around Trump for very good reason.
And the Secret Service, you know, they're spread too thin. That's true. That's a problem we know about
that could be corrected. And Trump did not get the premium package even after assassination
attempt, number one. They upped his security for sure, but he doesn't have military assets at
his disposal, you know, around wherever he goes like a sitting president would. And let's face it,
you and I both know right now, there are more people who want to kill Donald Trump than there are who want to
kill Joe Biden. All Joe Biden's doing is lying in bed or on Rojobith Beach. He's fine. If ever there
were a need to divert a few resources, not all but a few from one to the other if we have to make the choice.
Now's that time. They didn't do it. And it does make you wonder why. Why? The Secret Service has got the
head of Ghana, the king of Ghana. He's here for the UN. He's being followed by everybody, the president of Ghana.
okay great so that's what our secret service is doing but you know the actual possible next president of
the United States doesn't have enough people to patrol the perimeter and we're supposed to just shrug our
shoulders and move forward yeah I feel like in the case talking with our friend Megan Kelly I feel like
in the case of Butler County even if they could even if let's just say they couldn't afford Eric Prince
they could just get some good old boys and they get them out there in the field and they could be like
that water tower up there maybe get somebody up there that that pitched roof I mean these
or people who didn't even go through security training are just kind of looking at the obvious,
which kind of makes you wonder, is it a level, there's two ways to look at it. It's either a level
of disregard or professional incompetency that's just by itself professional incompetency or its
maliciousness. And then you kind of have to ask, well, is there a third option that maybe it's
just such a level of incompetency that it rises to maliciousness? And people are just like, well,
if it happens, it happens. I mean, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but they leave this stuff
open for all of us to interpret it that way. Oh, no, you'll laugh because it was getting so bizarre
when you started to hear about this guy's tentacles, you know, this second shooter, and meaning
second after the guy in Pennsylvania, that, you know, it's like ties to Iran potentially and, you know,
the New York Times admitting that its source and finding the guy was an Afghani who was in Iran and was talking
with him. It was like, wait, and now Iran has a death threat on him. And we joked on my team,
we're all Laura Lumer now, right? She's very prone to conspiracy theories. But it's crazy how much,
like how deep this guy's tentacles to go. So you'd be nuts not to ask the questions. For me,
the real question here is, do we trust the investigators to really run all this down?
Do we trust the FBI to pursue every lead? And what if, God forbid, it did lead to something
internal. And I don't know about the FBI. We all know that the FBI doesn't love conservatives and it doesn't
love Trump at Miami head of the field office obviously hated him and was forced to scrub as social media.
And of course, they've got a history during Russia gate that does not reflect well on them.
But the recent reporting is more about the Secret Service. So this gal Susan Crabtree, she's a reporter for real clear politics.
And this is her beat. Secret Service is her beat. She knows everything about them. She was on our show the
night that the attempted assassination was on earth. And she was saying that there is a former
top Obama security official said to her that they believe there is someone who has made it into
the top ranks of the Secret Service who is an Iranian operative. And that this person is in some
sort of a position where they, sorry, let me strike that because there's two different people.
There's somebody who is an Iranian agent or working in some way for Iran that's made it into the Secret Service and separate it and apart from that, there's someone who applied to work at the Secret Service who failed the counterintelligence piece of the polygraph one must take to make it into the Secret Service.
And they hired this person anyway and made this person in charge of who gets certain intelligence credentials.
So there have been some real problems at the Secret Service that go well beyond them hiring,
hookers and then trying to deny it and trying to cover up for the cocaine in the White House
and that head Kim Cheatel trying to get rid of the cocaine and not allow it to be really swept
thoroughly for DNA once they found a hit. Those are problems, but like this is next level
problem and somebody's got to kick the tires on exactly how secure the Secret Service circles are.
Yeah, that's crazy. Well, well, the cocaine, I think we kind of, we all kind of know who's
booger sugar that is talking with our good friend, Megan Kelly, for those of you who are listening
and across the country. You mentioned Russiagate. I've got to ask you about Hillary Clinton when
she was at this forum and she's talking about arresting people for misinformation. Is she not,
like looking back to 2016, her working with Fusion GPS, that entity that should be an affair
of violation? I mean, they were laundering like discredited oppo from the Kremlin through the media
so that they could get a warrant, a surveillance warrant through improper channels through the FISA court.
would that not make her the queen of disinformation?
Wouldn't she be in jail by our own standards?
Lock her up.
She should be number one.
I'm totally on board of their plan just as long as she goes first.
That sounds great.
We'll make an example out of somebody so everybody really gets the message and we know just where to start.
That is insanity.
That's absolutely not going to happen.
And she knows better, right?
So like what is this?
Is it just her perpetuating the lie that there's dangerous misinformation coming from the right that needs to be tamped down?
I've never seen a party so in love of censorship.
I mean, they absolutely want to censor everyone not on their side.
Just today, Elon and Gavin Newsom were worrying on X about this new law.
Gavin Newsom just signed trying to crack down on parody in the state of California.
He's saying, oh, you can't have AI that sort of is a deep fake.
Well, that is too broad a net to cast given our First Amendment.
There already is a U.S. Supreme Court case saying parity is totally lawful.
but it's this left wing instinct.
Anything that's bad must be silenced.
We shouldn't be forced to hear it.
And anybody who speaks it can be punished, either fired or sued or thrown in prison.
These are not American instincts.
And those of us who still have our minds about us or wits about us must fight back
or we're going to start to lose the First Amendment even more than we already have.
And it was so insidious the way that he was pushing that as well because he was acting as
though it was like a protection for actors and and voiceover artists in Hollywood.
But as you mentioned, that was one part of it.
This was the other part of it where I mean, it's like, he's declaring a war on memes.
I mean, really, a war on meetings and parody.
This will not be upheld.
He should enjoy it while I can because it's not enforceable.
The U.S. Supreme Court, this is one of those that could get struck down 9-0.
This is a very short shelf life.
Before we let you go, what are you looking forward to this November?
If you had to get out of crystal ball with everything,
that you've seen now, how would you interpret everything now? How do you think that that's going
to hit November? What are we going to wake up to the Wednesday after election?
Oh, my God. I mean, I can't predict who's going to win, but I'll tell you this. This is a pretty
certain of this right now. Trump has the electoral advantage for sure. You'd rather be Trump than
Kamala right now. I just think he's a stronger candidate. She's a mess. The more she gets out there,
the worst she'll do.
We already know Trump.
His unfavorables are not going to go up.
They're where they're always going to be.
Yeah.
Hers can still go up and probably will.
Because she's had just this unprecedented media love affair for the past,
you know, two months.
So I give him the advantage electorally.
But I give her the advantage on the get out the vote effort of team blue versus
team red.
It's formidable.
They're so good at that.
Do you even know who's running it on the red side?
I don't. I know Charlie Kirk is trying to help. There's a couple of groups and they're only doing
certain states. I don't even know who's doing it like in all the states. If it's just still R&C,
I know they have like a slate of states and there's another group that have another slate.
I don't know how Trump's trying. Trump's trying, but Trump's also trying to just win an election in the first.
I just think given what we've seen in past elections, you know, if you were just saying who's got to
better get out the vote effort, you'd have to put it on Team Kamala or you'd be dumb.
They have been trying to bank and pressure their voters to bank the mail-in vote and they put out all
those buses going to the old ladies who they've gotten a register just saying all I need is for your
ballot just give me your ballot and they can whatever let me get you to the polling station right right this
way and you've got actors and actresses who will be at the helm of the bus and I don't know what
Team Red has but it hasn't done that well so look there's still time and I'd really like to say like
it's it's you it's me those of us who want sanity to prevail like we're going to have to drive buses
we're going to have to take the day off and do something because especially if you're
a swing state, you need to tell every single person you know to vote or it's not going to go the right way.
Yeah, I completely agree with you. That's, that has to be. I mean, we were joking about it the other
day. Maybe we should just take off that day and just, or at least that morning, like, you know,
maybe we'll pre-record and then that afternoon just like drive around and make sure everybody,
like get up people to go and vote and drive them around and make sure it gets done.
But it takes planning. You know, it takes plans that Republicans don't like mail-in balloting.
I get it. I know. I understand why. But what things happen on election day, your kid gets sick.
The weather's bad.
Somebody dies.
You know, there's like something comes up.
And it's not just you.
It comes up.
So it's like banking the mail and vote.
I realize it's somewhat of a risk in Republicans' minds because you never know.
But I think it's a smart bet if there's any doubt you can't get there on election day because that's how they keep winning.
Yeah.
They do and they will unless we do something about it.
Megan Kelly, always so good to see you, my friend.
Please tell you, give Doug our best.
We'd love to see you guys again.
You guys need to come down to Texas.
We'll go hog hunting.
We'll get some briskin. We'll blow some stuff up.
That's what Trump needs. He needs Dana and Chris Lash. That's what he needs. He'll be fine.
No one will come near him.
We'll just, we'll be there. We'll watch everything. We'll a little nuts about it, but that's all right.
Totally believe in you.
Megan, so good to see you. Thanks so much.
Okay, see you soon.

Quick five.
Man, this is crazy.
So Elon Musk's
Neurlink brain chip
has received FDA's
breakthrough device status
and it could actually
help blind people see again.
That's crazy.
Did they get to wear
like, it's just the chip
so you don't get to wear
like the super cool glasses, right?
Like you would wear if you're Geordie on Star Trek
all the like, Mavortons and devag.
Could that chip blow up?
Totally.
Or you could wear like the band
if you're a psycher and Warhammer.
Anyway.
It has the breakthrough device to, I don't even know what that means, I just think it's cool.
It's called Blindsight.
That is the coolest, it's like the coolest thing ever.
Like, it's just wild.
So they said that the chip could actually help you see again.
I mean, this is wild.
I love technology sometimes.
Oh, no, this is when I don't know.
We're going to talk more about this later on in the broadcast.
So Gavin Newsom has signed a bill.
It says regulating AI, well, it's a two-futable.
It's a bill that touched on the regulation of AI, but it also was a bill that is banning even parity, like AI parity.
So he signed two bills into law.
One of them was about the use of AI digital replicas of performers into law.
And it also gets into the use of it politically.
So he was saying that he, because of, you know, stuff like videos that are clearly fake, that are making.
making fun of Kamala Harris, that would be, he would outlaw them in California and he has been bragging about it on social media. So we're going to talk more about this because they're trying to act like, oh, no, it's just this that's going to help out the entertainment industry. It's a lot more than that. Also, please let this be like a bunch of aliens. I really want to get invaded by aliens. I just feel like it's need, if Jesus isn't going to come anytime, I mean, he's coming back. But if it's not going to be soon, then let it be smart or aliens in the meantime, because, you know, I hate most people. They said an oval-shaped UFO
was spotted hovering over Mexico.
I hope it's zapping people up.
The footage shows that this UFO,
it's probably going to be something like a stupid Chinese spy balloon.
So boring.
They said the alleged flying saucer sightings
have been reported in a couple of different neighborhoods.
They said they're just,
they look like a sky lantern floating across the sky.
That's what some think it is.
Kane and I literally gave the same look just now.
Just now we did.
Oh, let's see.
So they're also saying,
omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior.
This is where I do think that we should replicate the French and just tear down cameras that we don't like.
I'm totally fun with us.
I wanted to share this story with you.
Completely changed gears here.
Did you guys hear about the Florida Sheriff who is done with it?
This is such a great story.
So this Florida Sheriff in Tallahassee, there was a kid that had, and this is a Volusia County Sheriff,
there was a kid who had, I guess, made threats about shooting up his school.
And he was livid over this.
He went in and perp walked the kid, made him public, shamed him, and perp walked him.
And he had said that, you know, this is accountability.
And he said that, you know, I have no, I'm going to do this to your kids.
He gave an interview and he was like, I'm going to perp walk your kids, if that's what a,
Audio 7 by 30, listen to this.
This is so great.
What we're going to start doing Monday is,
since parents you don't want to raise your kids,
I'm going to start raising him.
Every time we make an arrest,
your kid's photo is going to be put out there.
And if I could do it, I'm going to perp walk your kid.
So that everybody can see what your kid's up to.
You're perp walking this 11-year-old.
You're going to be walking over here to this, the gate over here, all right?
What's you here for today?
follow this deputy here
right this little young man
wow they're purplogging him
got the cameras
the 11 year old student was arrested
in charge as a juvenile
he threatened to shoot up a middle school
we do need more of these type of deterrence
these parents are not doing their job
I had suggested because I don't have a problem with us at all
I have zero problems with us
in fact I would go one further
and I think that the responsible parents
should be given a pass to beat the ass
of the irresponsible parents on top of it
I got to tell you.
Parents who don't do, and these kids always are, it's always kids who enable others.
I got to say, we had an experience like this once where there was a youth that had threatened
something in their school and the kid was immediately bounced from the school.
The school did not, they did not play with us.
And it was after Parkland when you get these copycat incidents.
The school didn't play.
They didn't play with this at all.
but the parents
immediately reacted
like everybody was targeting their kid
and it was everybody else's fault
that their kid was this way
and that's
I don't know but like the the
issue of this
the last kid in school
that's what the family was sort of
suggesting that it's you know this kid was
pick I hate that enabling behavior
good on this sheriff this is awesome
Sheriff Chitwood because he's like, look, if you're not going to do your job and you're going to enable this, I'm going to do it for you. And he ought to. This is, they said that his department spent $21,000 investigating a multitude of hoax school shootings since September 13th. And they said 54 of them came in less than 24 hours. And that was fewer than 24 hours. That was the, it's usually like the type of copycat stuff. That's why you don't, like, we don't repeat the names of stuff. That's why a lot of people are really,
weird about that now because there have been numerous studies showing that that does inspire copycat
events absolutely so the fact that he's doing this that that's a good deterrent there should be a
deterrent there but and you can have deterrence all day long and I think it's great and I think they need
to do this but these parents need to step up and here's the thing also it's not just like parents
of kids in poor areas because not all of these incidents where you have these mass kids
killers are poor kids or kids from, you know, understern.
It's, it is this enabling behavior of the parents.
You are not protecting your kids by by babying them and excusing their behavior.
Sometimes being a parent is tough as hell.
It is hard.
And you are constantly second guessing yourself.
Did I go too hard?
Did I do this?
Did I do that?
Because you are helping to shape their character.
and they have to understand in the home first that there are deterrence.
My kids, I know, would never do that because I had, I mean, Chris and I both are pretty
hardcore parents.
I don't understand these parents who say, I didn't know my kid had this or I didn't,
we knew everything.
My mom knew everything I had.
She knew what I was doing.
You think that you are crafty?
Parents are weird, man.
The responsible ones know.
They just know.
It's like you get a feeling.
Wait a minute. It feels like somebody's up to no good. You just feel like somebody is and you've got to go check. You know, it's like that six sense that you get. I see dead people. You know, I sent just shenanigans. You just know. Bad parents are just not paying attention. We all knew bad parents of kids in schools when we were growing up. We all knew that. Like I went to school with kids who had bad parents who just weren't there and the kids were bad and the kids did bad stuff and the kids grew up to be, you know, adults doing bad stuff. I mean, it's sad. But, but.
good on this sheriff. That's awesome.
