Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by KELTEC. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. A Winter Haven, Florida Man's hankering for beef jerky and pistachio nuts was so strong that he stole more than $100 worth of it from a Polk County convenience store and didn't pay from Fox 13 News. Surveillance video shows Anton.

Karim Fulov, a little albert, of Windmere, walking into a love's truck stop, looking at a sign depicting a deputy patrol car that read Free Ride if you shoplift from the store. He stopped to look at it. He legit was on camera looking at it. And then he walked in the store, grabbed beef jerking pistachios, and then left.

And he was literally, I mean, the employee saw him steal them, so they went to stop him. And he ran to his Lowe's box truck. So apparently he drove for Lowe's. He was charged with, first degree petty theft. Imagine going, having that charge over nuts and jerky. And also, how much jerky and nuts did he take that it was $100?

Because it looked like he just swiped it. I mean, I get it that inflation's out of control, but is it, I haven't bought like pistachios in a long time. It's pretty expensive. I haven't bought pistachios in a long time because I'm terrified to buy pistachios. So that's why I was wondering. I'm like, did he take like two pistachios and it was $100? I'm wondering. Good heavens. So a This

Hang on Oh here's let's do this guy This Florida man Was identified following an ATV chase That spanned Miami-Dade In Broward counties 18-year-old Anthony Perez It only stopped because he ran out of gas

He was wearing a ski mask He grabbed an ATV And jumped on the North Brown Express lane of I-95 Officers joined the chase He slowed down at some point, sped up, evaded officers, then got off the highway, and then he made a U-turn. And then he started slowing down because he legit ran out of gas. He was taken into custody. Can you imagine?

How far did you think you were going to get on that, dude? Like, for real, how far did you think you were going to get? A Florida man says that he had to pay $1,000 to get his pet turtle back, tortoise, sorry. Merrick Westland came home from work to find his 18-year-old tortoise was tortoise snapped? Yeah. He's upset. he's pursuing potential legal action and he says that

he the it's the it's an 18 year old African sulcata tortoise named Shelby he posted signs around the neighborhood all this stuff he thinks he actually thinks that the tortoise broke out of the enclosure and ran through the fence in his backyard you know ran the tortoise that's what they do yeah they run and uh he says that he thinks a wildlife place had his tortoise

and it was wildlife rescue and rehabilitation and they did have her, and they demanded that he pay $1,000 to get her back. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says they consider it a civil matter. He had to pay $1,000 because apparently wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. That's wildlife rescue and rehabilitation in Seminole, Florida, website WRRFL.org, because they were holding, apparently, it sounds like they were holding the tortoise hostage until the guy coughed up $1,000. You all sound shady as all get out. Wildlife Rescue and Rehab in Seminole, Florida.

That's Wildlife Rescue and Rehab in Seminole, Florida, off of 82nd Avenue. What was that website? The website to Wildlife Rescue and Rehab in Seminole Florida at WRRFL.org. WRFL.org in case you want to leave a nice civil message about stealing people's turtles. You know, sorry tortoises, whatever. I hate that stuff. Like, you shook that dude down for $1,000. You guys are fruitcakes.

A Florida woman was accused of flipping off deputies while driving erratically on the grass. Just another day in woman driving. A Florida woman is accused says Key West. The deputies were trying to pull her over. Darla V. Dahl, 35. She's facing a felony count of resisting a police officer. And one misdemeanor count of resisting an officer following this incident. I guess she's just not getting charged.

it was March 16th. But it started when a deputy observed her driving a car on the grass at high rate of speed. She didn't stop when the officers were like, wow, with the lights. And at one point, she waved her middle finger at the deputy trying to pull her over. And while she did, she almost hit a deer. But then she stopped later on Pensacola Road and ran towards the deputy, screaming, I hate the police. She would not stop.

They kept saying, we're going to shoot you if you keep resisting arrest. She was booked into Monroe County Jail. As she was flipping them off, she almost hit a deer. First off, what was that deer doing out there? I mean, you sneeze and they run away. I mean, you look at them and they run away. Just say, a man was killed while test driving a motorcycle outside of a Harley Davidson dealer in Titusville, say police. He crashed his motorcycle literally into the wall of a Titusville shopping center while test driving it on Monday afternoon.

That's sad. It was Miracle City, Harley Davidson. And they said that he just lost control and crashed into the back wall of the shopping center. That's horrible. So we're just, I got to come in. First, welcome back. Got a little fogarty, right? Put me in, coach, because it's opening day, guys.

It's opening day of baseball season. The only time I actually pay attention to any kind of sports. It's baseball season. Now, technically, God's team doesn't have its opening day until April 4th, technically, where the whole city would shut down. right as Kane knows and Kane and I and again Dana Lash welcome back hometown St. Louis right I don't say that lightly I realize it is Holy Week and God's team oh that's for those of you who are heathens that is the St. Louis Cardinals their opening day is on April 4th where they play the

Miami Marlins so the whole city would shut people don't understand this St. Louis is such a baseball town like they make you move if you don't like the team. I'm not, am I kind of kidding? I don't know. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Like I remember when I was still at my affiliate, one of the, when I was still based in St. Louis. And there was a new person. It was like a, I think it was a salesperson, Kane, that moved in. And it was like a get to know you, whatever thing. And, you know, it felt like an office situation, like office base. And everyone had to go and get to know the person. And, you know, everyone had to go get to know the person. And they're like, oh, do you like baseball? And I just remember the answer to something like, oh, not really. Everyone got quiet.

That's not allowed. The whole city shuts down. People used to skip school. Like, they just actually were trying to, they would give you an excused absence. The school that I went to, people were getting excused absences. They'd skip and they'd go to opening day.

Can you remember how hardcore this was? The whole city shut. Crime stops. The gangs are like, all right, we're going to stop drugging and shooting. It's opening day. It's been going on for a decade. I'm not kidding. Like crime drops.

It's crazy. It's like the wildest thing ever. So it's opening day. So our friend Larry gave me a really good idea, Vegas Larry. I got to admit, I'm on the struggle bus because there's a lot of good options. One of the things that I love about opening day, because sometimes the players switch it up. Their walk-on song. Right? Everybody gets a walk-on song.

It's your one chance to pick the song as your walk-on song, right? So I'm curious, what would Charles walk-on song be if you're a player, right? I think all of you have already thought of this. I just have a suspicion that you all already know this, right? I mean, I've got some ideas. Kane immediately. I didn't even finish my sentence. because you can't have the same walk-on song that other people do.

You've got to pick something else if they pick it. Yeah, yeah. Cairns immediately like, well, I'll walk by Parent-Ther. Like he planted the flag in it immediately. No one else can touch it now. He's like, yeah, walk by Parent-Terror. It does sound particularly hardcore. Like when you're coming out to bat.

Yeah, that iconic intro to that song? Slow down, just I have all these queued up one at the time. Steve has them queued up. For the radio audience, because you get the benefit of the license. That pays for it. I'll be walking up to the plate right here. Be choking up on the bat. Right.

Can you make like, yeah, you're hitting my cleats. Hitting my cleats. I mean, it's hardcore. People are going to be afraid of you. Getting into the box.

Getting ready for that first pitch. See? It is. This might be the walk-on song of all walk-on songs. Yeah. It's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. I mean,

I'm on the struggle bus because I have to admit this was on my list too. I feel like I could hit a home run with this one. You feel like you could knock the stitches out the ball with this one. I think so. I mean, that's just, it's Pantera, number one. I mean, it's, you know, God's band. It's, um, don't hit,

don't hit, don't at me. It's like, it's such a good walk-on song. Now, here's your all's assignment, a little fun, you know, because it's been heavy, it's been heavy politics. You know, you need a break from the primary, or that primary, from the election for a little bit. You've got to have your walk-on song and then a backup walk-on song. And I apologize to those of you that are watching the simulcast,

We can't afford the licensing that it were cost in order to play the songs that were choosing to you. So you can only get it if you're listening to the radio broadcast. It's a levity caprillion dollars if you're in case you were wondering. Like, GoFund me would laugh at it. So that's Keynes. Do you have a backup? Mine was, and again, I'm thinking of songs that have iconic intros that when you hear them, you're like, oh, man, I got to stop whatever the hell I'm doing and listen to this is back in black from ACBC. Oh.

That's a good one. Here it is. Here it is. Also. It's, yeah. Easily choke up on the bat, walk up to the plate, knock the dirt off my cleats. You can tell that he's thought about this a lot. Kana's like really thought about this a lot.

Sizing up the pitcher. So I walk into the box, dig in and get ready to slam one over the wall. It's amazing. So I was thinking about it. Let me ask you, Steve. Steve is our resident millennial. and I'm a little worried about asking this because I have no idea

what he's going to throw at us. Steve, you're a baseball player. It's opening day. Your walkout song, sir. So I am in a rec league, a softball league in D.C. for seven years. I can't repeat the team name because it's inappropriate for radio, but not only is my walk-up song is my favorite

song of all time, and it's this one. Also my favorite group of all time. What is that? Seriously. Daff Punk. I didn't know he'd Wow. I mean, I like Daft Punk, but I don't know if I would have gone with this intro. It's the disco remix. I would have gone with D-Rez,

D-Rez from the Tron soundtrack. See if you can pull that up real quick. This is Steve's walk-up. Why are you trying to ruin his walk-up song? Yeah, I just want to make him more, I want to make him more threatening. Let him choose his own walk-on song. This sounds like you got a guy out there

ready to hit the ball and maybe party. Okay, I can see the stadium like, yeah, it's our boy. I can see that. Imagine if he's already hit like a home run. Oh, my gosh. The ladies be like slings shot and panties. I mean, maybe not.

I get it. I get it. You went all over the map on that one. I did. See if you can pull up real quick. Tron's D-Rez from, or D-Rex track from Tron. I think it's that one. Is this going to be one of your tracks, maybe?

If I'm thinking of the right song, it's been a bit since I've listened to this album. No, it's not this one. Never mind. It's the one where, what's his face? Jeff Bridges drops into the club and he's getting ready to unleash a can of whoop a double snakes. Is the end of the line? Maybe. Maybe. We're going to go through this whole album. Everyone listening is like, can you talk about politics? No, I will. Give me a break. It's a pallet cleanser. It's a pallet cleanser. But it's such a great track. Now, we can do wons in the meantime.

Yeah, let's do wands in the meantime. So, Juan, we, they're already laughing. We're like, Juan, sir, you are a baseball player's opening day. Your walkout song is, what do we have? you want to play? Okay, here we go. Yeah, okay. I told him not too bad bunny, but he picked Bad Bunny. Oh, my gosh, he did pick Bad Bunny. Booker T. That's a tough.

See, this is like one of the ones. It's good that he's in a musical instrumental part of it. Yeah, I think you kind of had to be. I got the clean version. Yeah, yeah. All right, all right, all right. We get it. I can see this.

I get it. I get it. So see if you can pull up. So that's good. Do you have a backup? Did he have a backup? Did he offer one? I don't see a backup one here

Okay See pick up a fall by Daft Punk See if that one's it In the meantime So I don't know I'm on the struggle bus Oh wait it is You put Daft Punk in there

Didn't you one He did as backup okay Yeah good good What's his Daft Punk track Lose yourself Ah Okay Nice

Nice So I'm I have like my serious choices I don't know if I actually Want to talk about this on here anymore I feel like we need to

feel like we need to switch. And I think you have like 10. Oh my gosh, I have 10. Like I have, for whom the belt holes, Metallica. I've got, ride the lightning, Metallica. I've got, I had Pantera Walk. I had rain and blood by Slayer because the intro is just so boss. Can I have that intro?

Because it's so amazing. Rain and blood by, yes. That, that's like, she might murder me with the ball. It's that. Like if I'm coming out opening day, I'm coming out for your soul. And that's how, you know. It's supposed to be about peanuts and cracker jack. Yeah.

Woo! Everything's the competition. Woo! Consuming souls is what you're doing. Yeah, I am. Okay. If you can, sir, get that track going. Get that track going for us.

Oh, man. Gosh. It's, see, that's amazing. Do you remember the first time you heard this? First time I heard it, my life was changed. Right. It's just, it's just beautiful. Some people can't relate.

but I don't know. I just, I'm not into, if I want to listen to chill music, I'm going to listen to like jazz or something. I just, it's like, why go halfway when you can go all the way? You know what I'm saying? Like, just don't do anything halfway. I think this is my first, my first choice would be Rain and Blood by Slayer. I am, but I do like the, I think it's Fall by Daft Punk off the Tron legacy album. That would be like my backup because it's really cool.

It's a super cool song. Or. Is that the one you're embarrassed by? No. Oh. See, because that's the one I'm trying to get you to. All right, so only Steve knows what the other one is. Yeah, you wouldn't even share it with me.

I wouldn't even share with you because I'm never going to live it down. Oh, boy. Now I need to know. Go ahead, Steve. Go ahead and play it. And let's see if Kane knows who it is. I've never heard this song. Are you shocked?

I've never heard this one. Wait a minute. Now I'm really curious. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Let's see if Kane can guess what it is. I'm so bad. The people who are listening on the simulcast.

I'm just saying, you got to wait for it to kick in. You've got a game dying already I hate you so bad Wait wait wait for him to come in Wait for it to come in and here he goes Yeah I'm from a city That is rowdy, rowdy

It's yellow wolf I'm not even gonna lie I'm not even gonna lie That would be it Yellow Wolf had some good tunes That's all I'm gonna say This is actually a good walk-up song It is a good walk-up song

And St. Louis is a rowdy city So, actually I can see this happening. You carry in a big old Louisville slugger on your shoulder up to the plate. Yeah, I can see that. Spitting my backy out. Yeah. I mean, as much as I wanted to make fun of you, that's actually pretty good. It's very out of line for me.

But I like, I don't know what it is. I like it. I'm not going to lie. Anyway, so those are our walk-up songs. I'm curious as to which all's would be, what your walk-up songs would be, because it says a lot about a person. Lorraine picks inter sandband my Battalica. That is an excellent, solid choice, Lorraine. very solid choice

because she's going to hit you at the ball and put you asleep. Get them home runs. So we're happy that it's opening day. We had to have a little fun. Even though April 4th, that's God's team's opening day technically. You know, this is just you know, but this is officially for MLB, this is opening days. This is the only time when I'm like going to pay attention to

sports. Any other time I'm like, what's football? What? And then everyone else in Dallas, Texas looks at me like I'm a communist. So there's nothing that anybody can do to ruin opening day except if Joe Biden gives a speech or throws a pitch out. Can you imagine Joe Biden walking out? Can we just look at that for a moment? Can you imagine him doing first pitch? He would fall off the mound after that throw.

He'd fall off in his weird, like, giant platform, Alexander McQueen Yeezys would flip off his feet. I don't even know what those. What is he wearing? You'd have too much forward momentum to stop and he'd fall forward right after the pitch. Oh my gosh. I think he would get booed, right? I think he would get booed, hardcore. Yeah, probably.

I think he would. Because he's not fun either. He's just, he goes out there and he just, he squints it. He used to not do that all the time. Joe Biden used to not, like, make that, he used to not squint and make that mean face all the time. Now he does. And I don't know if he thinks that he has to do that to look tougher or if that's a consequence of the stroke that we're pretending he didn't. have. Juan's got a picture that he's

thrown up on the simulcast of them. Dem shoes dough. It looks sturdy. They look like tires. You know how I don't like it when women walk around in giant platforms because they think they look like Clydesdales? Similarly, I don't like it when guys walk

around in giant thick black tennis shoes like this because y'all look like you got tires for feet. Like you need to get them aired up or something. Check the air pressure on. It's just weird looking. I don't like it. A shoe equivalent of Dooley's. It is. It is. Our partners, our friends at Keltec. They make stuff that you can blow other stuff up with. I mean, that's pretty accurate, I think. The sub 2K, Gen 3 means it's Generation 3. It's new. So don't be like, I got my Keltec. This is new. You don't have this. It just started shipping. It's the Gen 3 9mm carbine and you can fold it in half. It's like a polypocket gun. I don't know. I mean, that's like for the ladies out there, it's like for dudes, it's like the trans, although I have. Although I have. had transformers too. It's like a transformer gun. It's a polypocket gun. You can fold the whole

dang thing right in half. And you don't have to detach your favorite optics anymore because previously you did. Now you don't. That's what the gen 3 that's an upgrade for the gen 3. Now the whole thing it has a patent penit rotating four end. You can twist it in either direction and it folds right in half quickly, just as quickly and easily deploys it. Optics and all. Upgraded aluminum trigger. You've got a light in five pound pool as well. Another upgrade. That means obviously improved accuracy for follow-up. Upgraded action. You also have this lightened action makes for easy racking. Amidextrous bolt

hold open. There's even a new chamber indicator. It's just awesome. You've got to check it out. It's a Florida-based company, USA Family Run, Keltec. It's the new Gen 3, Sub-2K. To learn more about that sub-2K gen 3, visit KeltecWeapons.com. That's K-E-L-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them that Dana sent you.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. This is like so the most appropriate thing I can ever imagine happening. Because you know where NASCAR comes from, right? Moonshine runners, right? This is during Prohibition. You had souped up cars and they were racing away from the law so they could deliver that liquor to them spakeasies and elsewhere on those rural roads out throughout the United States. I mean, it's part of our country's heritage.

That's literally where NASCAR came from. Well, check this out. The officials at a historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in the foothills of North Carolina discovered a literal moonshine cave just by chance when a sinkhole opened up underneath the racetrack's grand stands. Now, if you're at a racing event, you're at a NASCAR event, and a sinkhole opens up and you fall into it, you want it to be a moonshine cave. I'm just saying if you're going to fall into any sinkhole, let it be a moonshine cave sinkhole. So track employees have been cleaning and inspecting. They notice cracks in the concrete.

And so they're like, yeah, it's a secret moonshine still, essentially. And they're renovating and restoring the North Wilkesboro Speedway. They've been doing it since 2022. But yes, they said that they found some places where you could make some illegal liquor. I'm imagining already, like, a whole experience, right? Like you're going to watch the thing that came about from Prohibition. And underneath, you can go for like a little extra and a deal. ticket, you can go get you some moonshine down there. Like call me, I've got so many ideas for how to

monetize this. It's insane. Joe Lieberman has passed away at age 82, according to Politico, apparently had to do with complications related to an earlier fall. He was the longtime senator from Connecticut. He was also kind of a moderate Democrat, and Democrats really started hating him towards the end of everything because as they turned more left, he seemed more conservative. But it was due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old. The this guy set a record for essentially dragging his beans across concrete all the way, you know, around New York. He's a fitness trainer who broke two Guinness World Records by doing lunges across New York City. Kane's like, ugh.

That just seems, I don't know, pretentious, right? Do I like to sit here and give accolades for everything? Do I? I feel really put out when I'm expected to pat people on the back for, like, the stupid. bit of stuff, right? Oh, you did? Oh, my God. The, um, this is interesting, too. This piece I was reading about the AI staffing war, Mark Zuckerberg and Serkey Bren, who's the guy who founded Google. Uh, they've been pulling out all the stops to hire top tier talent in the field of AI. They're personally reaching out

to candidates to try to get them to win them over to their side. Stick with us. We got more in store. Welcome back to the program. You can listen coast to coast. on a station near you. You can stream the radio program as well. And follow along with the simulcast, Channel 347 DirecTV, also on X, YouTube, Facebook, Rumble, everywhere else. So this story, we talked about this story a couple of days ago. And this follows the Planet Fitness story of a woman who saw a man shaving in the women's bathroom and the women's sink. This story has to do with 82-year-old Julie Jamin, who is seeking an apology because she was banned from a pool that she swam in for 40 years. YMCA, the sea. YMCA. Because she was in the shower.

She heard a man's voice. She peeks out because, you know, you're in the women's locker room. You're in the shower. Vulnerable place for a woman. She hears a man's voice and she sees a man in a woman's swimsuit watching two little girls get ready to use the restroom. Now, she thinks, I think, what most women would immediately assume, is this a crime happening? Am I watching a crime unfolding right now? This looks predatory. And so she asked if the guy had a male copulatory organ, and then it went from there. So apparently he was with the YMCA, even though he had no badge or any kind of identification, indicating such. There was a little signage outside saying the bathroom was open to men as well as women. And she was the one. This 82-year-old woman was the one who was penalized, not the guy.

joining us is her attorney, Legal Titan, Harmeet Dylan. She's joining us via Skype and you know Harmeet, you've seen her everywhere and she takes all these tough cases. Harmeet is so good to have you. This case is insane to me because I got to tell you honestly, if I was in the women's locker room, first off, that's a very vulnerable time, you know, women, you're undressing, you're taking a shower after, you know, swimming, working out. I hear a man's voice. I look outside and see him watching two little girls with whom he apparently has zero

familial relationship with, getting ready to use the restroom. I would also wonder if I'm not witnessing a crime underway. That was her initial reaction. That seems perfectly reasonable, but the YMCA said no. Absolutely. Well, we're seeing a rash of this type of incident, Dana. And it's really troubling because we women, like you said, first of all, we are trained to protect ourselves.

But secondly, we're trained to look out for others. And many women who are professionals in a field, including teaching or the health health care field, we're actually under our duty to report this type of incident happening to vulnerable girls. And so when this woman who did the exact right thing is being penalized without due process, this is a real problem because first of all, this pool is on the property of the city of Port Townsend in Washington State, a beautiful location. And she's used it for 40 years. It's currently leased out to the YMCA Young Men's Christian Association. And so you cannot deprive somebody of their property right and property taxpayer to use public property without due process.

So the Y has a problem. The city of Port Townsend has a problem. And frankly, this policy is problematic. And in response to our clients, you know, outrage over this incident and the whole back and forth with management over there, they said, well, you know, of course you should have known that we're letting men into the women's locker room now because we're flying a pride flag in the lobby. And that's supposed to be some kind of a legal notice? No, actually, I think a lot of, you know, gay people would agree that this type of an encounter is really problematic. And so the rules keep changing, Dana. And in any event, the constitutional rules haven't changed. And Julie can't be deprived of her rights without due process. So we're looking forward to the why in the city's response. And if it's not satisfactory, we will sue that. That's a great point, too, about the property and who's leasing it and who it's owned by. I mean, she is a taxpayer talking with Hermit Dillon, who's joining. via Skype. And the flag, too, that's not a legal notice. And I was always told by the left, this is what we've heard from the trans activist, that it's not an indication of whom you're

attracted to, but how you identify. So that doesn't necessarily mean that a guy who wants to identify as a woman is still not attracted to women, which creates a problem in the women's locker room that apparently they just didn't pay attention to with this whole thing. Because the way that I understood it, it was just the basic pride flag, and it didn't have the trans, I think, triangle and all of that on it. Well, even if it did, Julie's

82 years old, I'm, you know, of a certain age, so are you. Like, how are we supposed to figure out what these flags mean? And do they mean, they're going to be men with penises in our women's faces? This is completely inappropriate.

It's inappropriate. And, you know, no amount of notice or assignage would make this appropriate vibe. And what floors me, and this is what I don't understand, Hermit, if a man who wants to identify as a woman feels uncomfortable in the men's locker room and he wants to use the women's locker room, he's accommodated. Oh, he feels uncomfortable. He feels unsafe.

We'll let him access the women's locker room. But if a woman feels uncomfortable and unsafe because a man is in the women's locker room, she's called a bigot. I mean, that seems like accommodation of one over the other. other. And in the scenario that the context that you just put out there with the taxpayer front of facility, that's a no-go. Absolutely. So we really need the courts to clarify these situations. And we are seeing it in so many different contexts, Dana. We're seeing in women's sports. We're seeing it in

women's athletics in the collegiate level, which is protected by Title IX. And so currently all the rights that the feminists, you know, who are themselves Julie's age, fought for, have been taken away in the space of a handful of years to the point where women are the ones who are being asked to feel uncomfortable everywhere we go. And we're the ones who are physically vulnerable. We're typically smaller in size than men. We're less strong than men. And I don't think, for one, as a woman who's fought for my rights in the workplace and in society, that I need to stand for it. Neither is Julie. So we're really proud to stand up for her. And we need to have the court step in and put an end to this and give back women their protected spaces.

We're talking about the story of 82-year-old Julie Jamin, who was kicked out of the YMCA band after using a pool for 40 years because she called out a man who was in the women's locker room. Harmie, women are told, and I was trying to remember, I think I've grown up with this. I don't know when I first was told to listen to my gut, listen to my gut instinct. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a situation, you know, seek help or try to remove yourself from the situation. Women are told, you know, these are things that you need to look out for. If you feel uncomfortable, you see a strange man you don't know walking down the street towards you,

maybe cross the street, go to the other, you know, the opposite sidewalk. I mean, we're told these things because there are certain statistics that justify the need for that concern. What does this sort of behavior, this shaming of women who are relying on that gut instinct that we've been brought up with for generations, what does that do to women and our circumstances? What does that do to women and our self-preservation when we're shamed for relying on those instincts? Well, first of all, younger women who don't have the same training that we do and are being told that this is perfectly normal are going to be at higher risk of sexual assault. That's a fact.

They're going to be at higher risk of physical injury in the sports context. That's a biological fact. This confusion is really a one-way ratchet. It's in favor of men and it's against women. and every woman needs to stand up and shout about this because all rights are being eroded and our safety is being eroded. I mean, to the point where women who might have passed a bad check or done something wrong in their private lives and got convicted of a crime, the federal prisons are mandating that women be housed with men who are identifying as women, even if all of their physical organs are intact and they're going to quote unquote process for my taxpayer expense. This is leading to sexual assaults of women prisoners.

And so I view this as a five-alarm fire. This is an epidemic in women's safety and women's rights. And, you know, regardless of your political orientation. And I'm glad to see women, at least women's sports leaders, between a lot and not at the low runs, others, some women feminists are standing up and calling this what it is, but they need to be joined by the rest of them. And this seems like a conspiracy yet again of men trying to take away

women's prerogatives and right. And this is, we should not stand. That's a great point. I mean, it's the ultimate, it's the ultimate victory of the progressive patriarchy. And somehow they've gotten some of these third-way feminists to go along with it and accommodate it. We're going to watch this case and see how this unfolds. I'm so glad that you're on it because I feel confident that it will be resolved favorably and in favor of women with you handling this. Harmeet, Dylan, always appreciate your fight.
