Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right, so a Florida man was on probation for drug trafficking, and he looks like Santa. Or a really just unkempt, Kenny Rogers. I can't tell. I'm sorry. I'm supposed to believe this guy's 63,

Kane. Volusia County. He was taken into custody. He was arrested for armed, armed trafficking of fentanyl and meth. And then he got arrested again on similar charges. He's 63 years old, this guy, supposedly.

63 years old. Cecil McCoy. Are you sure he's in Florida? That sounds like he's Kentucky. Cecil McCoy. Took him into Custle. C, Circle K and Deltona. He was busted.

He had fentanyl on him when they took him into custody, enough to kill lots of people. And then he also had 85 grams of meth. And he did say all of its mind. So, I mean, he, you know, at least there's, he was honest about it, but still, good heavens. I just, like, go find an honest line of work. You know, I mean, you can find, I realize maybe it's not the job that you want.

But there's some honest line, honest line of work out there that you can have. just saying. Let's see. This, uh, da, da, da, da, done. Got a couple of other, oh boy. Nope, no, I'm not doing this one about, nope, not doing that one. Well, we got the guy who Florida man from Key West, he attacked a man holding a sign that displayed a Bible verse. So this is Stock Island, Florida. This guy's supposed to be 50. I'm supposed to believe that this guy is 50 years old. Again, also don't believe these ages. meth is meth kills dude meth kills in ages so this guy let's see here 50 year old man from key west arrested he attacked a guy who's holding a john 316 sign just this innocent guy but the guy who was arrested looks like the bad guy from the original twin peaks he has his hair and everything he looks like bob from twin peaks completely The guy's name is Jose Jerome Hernandez.

He attacked the 37-year-old victim. The guy was just holding a John 316 sign. That's all it was. So, yeah, there's, yeah, there's that. But he looks, the thing that really stuck out to me is that he looks like Bob from Twin Peaks, the original Twin Peaks. Let's see, not going to do this one either. Nope, nope, nope, nope. There's some that are really bad that I don't.

well, this one's this is a guy who is recording people in the bathroom. He was a central Florida deputy. Surprise his name wasn't Scott Israel. Who was arrested for video voyeurism. It was in Tampa. This guy. His name is

Justin D. Bias and he was a deputy in the DUI unit and illegally recording victims in the bathroom of his residence. Did he have a lot of people over to his house that he would, like, who does this? This is some blueberry hill stuff. Stop that. sorry. Only Canaan is going to get that reference, right?

What did that, when was that in the 90s? It's the St. Louis thing. Yeah, it's the St. Louis thing. I had to do a Chuck Berry and all that. It was a big bad deal. I remember being a kid hearing about that and I was like, ooh. So this guy was charged with video voyeurism. Southwest Florida man was arrested for stealing an antique slot machine. Out of all the things to steal, why that one. 31 year old Andre Vasquez was caught on camera breaking into an Arcadia truck stop. He stole the slot machine. and then deputies initiated a foot chase after he fled. He was apprehended after hiding in a nearby backyard. He had bullet cutters, a backpack, he had a gun. He was a prohibitive possessor.

And they got the stolen slot machine. It was an antique slot machine. I don't know what he thought he was going to get out of it. Like, did he think it had money? I think the antique ones had those like silver dollars. Oh, is that? Did he think that they were still in there? I don't know, maybe.

That's kind of dumb. I mean, they're not still going to be in there. Good heavens. It's not. ha ha, ha. Let's see here. We also have, oh, I had this one, the guy from the other day. My favorite story still remains a pizzeria guy. Florida, it was a little bit quiet this weekend, I have to say. They also had these poachers that stole 800 pounds of berries. They were arrested in Hillsborough County. Palmetto poachers is what they called them. Two months after new regulation, harshal penalties for it saw Palmetto poachers. These two individuals, Haldio Hernandez and Maria Hernandez-Sinthago, they stole 800 pounds. Apparently these berries can sell for 75 cents a pound.

You can get up to $3.50 a pound. That's crazy. People who help bring you free radio over at Hillsdale. This is, Hillsdale exists to provide the type of education needed to prevent a Kamala Harris.

Personally, I completely disavow and separate and disassociate myself from my brother, Bobby Kennedy, and his flagrant and inexplicable effort to death frame and trample and set fire to Bobby's,

to Daddy's memory. Oh, my gosh, to Daddy's memory. I just, that's Carrie Kennedy. And I just, I think I would rather be driven into a pond by Teddy Kennedy than have to listen to one of these damn family members sit here and just talk about gatekeeping, the legacy that they do. didn't earn. Welcome back to the program. It's your living darya. Dana Lash here with you. I'm serving you RBF and a good hair day. You can listen across the country, Channel 347, Direct TV, also streaming on X and Rumble where the discussion happens. And I am not held responsible for any of the smart acidry that takes place there if your feelings get hurt. So, uh, Kane and I disagree on some

things. And we're going to just bring this. I know, we got other meat and potatoes. Let me lay it out before he eagerly decides to excitedly interrupt me. Smart for you to first. I can't even lay And then, yeah, we'll go from there. Okay, so first and foremost, you guys know me. I pretty much hate every politician. There are some that I would maybe consider throwing a life raft to if they were drowning. And I, you guys think I'm joking. And I mean, it applies to everyone.

Every single one, without exception. There are some that I'm like, okay, I like this person. I could see, I can vote for this person. I can support this person. I think this person's good. but by and large, I just don't like them because they're weird. Politicians are weird people. You never know when you're talking to them, what you're getting.

I mean, they're really nice to you and you're like, no one's that nice. I this is what I think. I'm like, if you're really nice when I first meet you, I immediately assume you're a serial killer. I can't help it. I am the most cynical person you will ever meet. I am Mark Twain's disappointment. So. But you always.

are. I've met a lot of people and you are literally the most cynical. I'm just realistic. I don't look at it as being cynical. I am practical. That's how I look at it. Cynicism is a pejorative. I am practical. So applying that context to this conversation, I

am all about coalition building. I don't like to use the phrase big tent because big tent almost intimates that we're also, stop interjecting, so help me. So help me. I'm just saying when we had this discussion off there. I'm getting to it.

I'm not there yet. You didn't preface it with anything you just now said, but go ahead. Because we were going back and forth. Now I'm talking about it in a segment. Are you going to be all right over there? Can you get a fair? Okay. I like coalitions and I understand the need of coalitions. I have talked about it. Enough me thinks.

Okay. So I get coalitions. What I don't like is the hyperventilating, standing, fanboying over certain political figures. Right. And I'm sorry, RFK Jr. is one of them. I don't, I get that people are very excited that he's going on the campaign trail to Trump. That's great. But I've been seeing people share memes. Like, it's the Justice League. Again, it's like him and Tulsi Gabbard and all this other stuff. I'm like, why is everybody now acting like RFK Jr. is the second coming of Reagan Jesus? Why is this? You know, why? This is a guy. I'm going to be really honest. And if you get mad at me, I don't care. Let Smod come. This is a guy who's accused of driving his first wife to suicide. It's a guy who said he's going to jail climate change deniers.

He's a weird guy on gun control. I'm all fine with coalition building. But stop trying to be like, this guy should be in charge of the CIA. This guy should be in charge of the Department of the Treasury. What? Where on earth? Why are you letting him into the strategy room? Stop.

Who's the Treasury thing? I'm just making that part up. Okay. But the CIA and all this stuff, like, let's put him in part. Let's put him on the cabinet. No, no, no. Hold up, hold up, hold up. I like the coalition, but I will gatekeep like an alphabet person.

I was going to say, you know what I mean? I will gatekeep so hard about letting somebody into the strategy room. Doesn't mean you sit on the war council. You know what I'm saying? Kane's like, well, he's had a change of heart. Wait, why don't you let me say what I was saying? Go ahead, go ahead. I'm going to interrupt you just as much as you interrupted me.

Just so people know, just so people know, you just made the whole argument that you made, in our discussion right then, just right now. You got to the end of it without even saying how we got that. Are you going to just commentate on it? I'm just trying to tell people how we got there, how we got there. So we're in break. Commercials are playing. And Dana's like, why the hell do people keep filleting this dude online?

And I'm like, what do you? What? True. What do you mean? Like, oh, I'm just so sick of how people do all this. I'm like, listen, people are excited that somebody on the left woke up. But they're saying that he needs to be in the cabinet and he should be leading departments. And I'm like, what?

They can say all of that that they want. What we know as far as his involvement with the Trump campaign is he's not going to be in charge of making policy or anything like that. He actually might be in charge of. You have assurances of that? No, we don't have any. Do you have any assurances of anything in the future? No. Of course not.

Except maybe we'll get hit by an asteroid. I claim to that. By the concept. He lived his entire life, believing Republicans were the oppressors. he now has woken up and seen that the Democrat, he said so. So he loves guns now? Do you think he just went out there and faked? He loves guns now.

He thinks he faked going against Democrats? I don't know. I think he saw that a presidential candidate like got shot and was like, well, damn. Hold on. Is he in a position to make policy on taking guns away? Or will he ever be in a position? Well, if he's a part of a cabinet, I mean, who knows? If he's actually gets a department position somewhere, who knows?

Right. And who would raise their hand as a Republican and agree with that? Nobody. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Really? I've watched them melt over this issue on stage. I've watched them melt in debates. I've watched them do.

Oh, okay, let's not do that. What do you mean, melt in favor of? Yeah. Yeah, I think if they think it's popular, I think if some Republicans, I think about 50% of Republicans, 50% if not right. I think if enough of them thought it was popular or not they'd be for it because they love popularity more than they love the people. But my, but I know what you're saying.

You're like, oh, he's got, he's had like, you know, a change of heart. That all may be well and good. But on the core issues, like climate change and abortion and all this other stuff, he hasn't changed. He just likes Trump. That's it. Right. But I was saying the people's excitement about him, it's not necessarily philating

him or anything like that. They realize that somebody on the left is seeing it the way they're seeing it. They're excited about that. And they see also now that Tulsi's joining up that. that this is something that the Democrats have gone too far, that they're forcing Democrats to join up. I just think it's funny that this guy who's been a lifelong Republican or Democrat is like, can you believe that Democrats are jackasses?

And we're like, yeah, what do you think we've been saying for the past like how many decades? It's like, finally, welcome. Instead, you're like, quit for letting the guy. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be like, now come and sit on our war council. And let's make decisions about the future. I'm not going to do that. That's right down the line. But to act like he has no other value than just liking Trump is selling it a bit short.

The only way I value him is if he can bring votes in. And then after that, I want the votes that he would bring in and then stay out of it. Exactly. That's all. We have to wait until November to see how that goes. When it comes to driving the ship, my coalition only goes so far. I get it. I'm not even going to front on that.

Like, my coalition goes so far. I get it. Yeah. But people, I'm just explaining why people are excited about the concept. But you realize, too, that this is a problem that the right has. If they see one person that's influential, that agrees with them. They're like, we're going to crown him Jesus Reagan. We love him.

Nobody's crowning him Jesus Reagan. They're just excited and expressing that excitement. I know you're all anti-happiness and everything. I'm not anti-happiness. You're anti-joy. I am a practical person. I feel like I'm the only one who sees the Matrix here right now. But this is how, I mean, people are excited.

You're seeing people excited. Sometimes people get crazy with their excitement. Sometimes they say stuff like... I get crazy with my excitement too. Sometimes I smile. Your RBF, though, is really strong. It is really strong. That's why I tell people, I'm like, I can never do plastic surgery or, like, freeze my face because everyone would think I'd hate them all the time.

Like, I could never do that because the RBF is so strong. I've got to constantly, like, pull my eyebrows up to my scalp. All right. There are people excited about it. That's all my point is. I get it. And, you know, you don't have to kill their happiness in joy. I'm not killing anyone's happiness in joy.

You don't have to step on their parade. You don't have to drop bull cookies all over their happiness. Like I'm watching Real Housewives of Kane over here. The Whirl. You don't have to kill. my happiness. You don't have to murder my joy. No, but you're, you're mistaking excitement for like fealty or something. No, I'm mistaken seeing memes of Justice League and people who go on Fox say he should be in a cabinet position.

And I'm like, what? That's my. That's, that's, that's, that's a little bit more. I mean, these are serious people who are saying the stuff. Your Scooby-Doo voice is awesome. But you guys get it though now. You see my, yeah. So it's not like we disagree. Lorraine makes a good point. Hold up. Hold up. Because she brought, this is what I mentioned to you.

She comes back to the vaccines. We agreed on the Rona vaccines. And that's kind of what started all of it because the left is so high of mine. The left loses their back end. If they think that one of the people on the left is just, wait a minute, you disagree with one percent of our agenda. You are a traitor. And you remember? Trader's going to trade.

That's how they look at it. And you remember three years ago when we had reached out to the RFK. team. They originally agreed to come on and then they were like, oh wait, no. That was three years ago. They were barely talking to anybody conservative at that time. I see this as an exciting, nice evolution, and I'm not taking it any farther than that. Yeah. I mean, I like that you're very optimistic. I'm not. I have been polluted by reality. Oh, dare I? I don't, I, look, if people want to start agreeing with me on stuff, beautiful. Doesn't mean I'm letting you drive the car. Okay. That's great.

If you agree with me, like, Dana, you know what? I also think that the station should only be set on 80s. I agree with you. That satellite radio should only be on the 80s. I get at the 80s station. I agree with you on that. But, you know, on the other stuff, I'm like, okay, that's great. You can have some input on that.

But you're not driving the car. You don't get to say which road we turn on. So just sit back there. Don't backseat drive. And STFU. That's all. That's it. That's it.

That's it. is that you're the keeper of the snacks. That's it. You don't even get to apportion them to me. That's the front. That's the passenger. That's the co-pilot. They get to help with the radio and the apportionment of snacks.

You just hand it up to the front. That's it. That's all you get. That's where I'm at. It's holding snacks. Right. So that's kind of how I view all this. Is it mean?

I don't care. I'm a realist. I want to win and I want to keep my freedoms in as much original condition as the founders intended as possible. And like I said, I'm all about coalition building, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let everybody and their damn brother come sit on the war council. Just not going to do it. And I think, you know, if some people are agreeing with you on a couple of issues, that's great. But on the big issues, like Tulsi Gabbard, I don't have anything against. People always think I have something against politicians.

If I dislike you personally, you know, I'm honest about it. And I will just tell you because I don't care about going to cocktail parties. They don't care about being on the speaker circuit. I don't care. I don't have to griff that way. I don't care. I just griffed by doing hard work. That's it. I don't care. But I see, you know, like when, like, we've invited Tulsi Gabbitt on the show before. She will not come on the show. And that's fine. I've never, I'm never a jerk when anybody's on, but I've always questioned the two-way stuff. And I read the post that she had up about where I guess it's supposed to be, uh, suffice to explain her change on two-way, but it didn't really explain anything. And it actually, now I got more questions than I started with. And if people, even if people want to appear to agree with you because it is advantageous to them at the time because they've been canceled out on their own side, I will take that and use it if it means getting my agenda to go forward.

But when it comes to putting that person on the war council or making that person like a part of the board of directors for the movement, that ain't happening. Not going to happen. because I think you've got to be in it with the people in the principles enough for you have to prove yourself and pay your dues by showcasing that your beliefs are real. You know, you're not just giving lip service to Second Amendment. You're not just giving lip service to limited government. Like you are, you're actually helping to elect candidates. And I've never seen any of these cats work to help elect anybody but themselves.

So I don't think any jury would convict me on that front. That's how I look at it. So when you put in that effort, then maybe we'll go a little bit further. But that's just kind of, that's how I look at it. And people are like, oh, Danny, you're mean. Look, I'm all about the coalition. But that don't mean they get to drive the car. Our partners that help bring you free radio, the folks at Caltech, the P15.

That's KELTEC-E-E-E-C Weapons. dot com. It's the P15. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So now their experts are worried that phone addicted Gen Z are losing their ability to use computer keyboards. And they're, like the touch type proficiency. They said that the devices

are replacing time spent practicing typing. But does that matter if nobody's, I mean, that's kind of, I think it's important. I can type super fast. I think you do need to type. You need to understand how to do it. But also, if kids are on laptops, like in an early age or even iPads, doesn't that sort of train you to do it anyway? It's all thumbs now.

Can you imagine? It's going to change the way we look. Let's see. A burning man. There's already a fatality. A burning man. And they're not selling out. Authorities are investigating the fatality. A female participant. They said it was, I don't know.

Is this somebody who's 39 years old? They can't. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. This story's meaningless to me. I don't care. She fell on some needles and feces. I mean, it's sad, but it's, you know, also it's like it's not, it's not worthy enough to be in Quick Five right now. Fair, so check this out. In New York City, 48% of writers apparently don't pay the fares. Fair evasion. That's what they call it. They said that 48% just don't even pay any kind of fare. They said that New York's long-running fair evasion problem is the worst of the worst of the. any major city in the world. It's intensified recently. About one in five writers skip the fair.

Now, what gets me is the city went after people selling loose cigarettes, really aggressively, because they didn't want to lose that money. But what about this? What about this? Nobody's doing anything with this. This is crazy. If you think your life is boring, apparently so do one and four Americans. Really, though, what is a boring life? They're saying that 40 is the new 30, and I don't know what that means. That's what they all say. But I didn't, that's kind of sad. Like, is it unfulfillment? They didn't actually get into it.

But, huh. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Bottom of this second hour. Do you guys see the, I've seen this, this type of stuff before where it's usually like the FBI or to be, I remember the, when it really, this was back in, I think, like 2009. You had, um, the Missouri Highway Patrol had used this. it's like extremist phrases

this is the FBI's militia violent extremism and it's like some sayings et cetera or whatever they've

and it's at FBI Talkgov oh no I don't want to download it I didn't want that I just wanted to open it in a PDF not to download it your fruitcakes so they have this thing

that they call terrorists, they have terrorism definitions, they have defined by the FBI and DHS, they have these phrases, things like that symbols guide, and they have militia violent extremism. And it's not a new thing,

but this is new and that it's updated, if that makes sense to you. So it's updated. And it gets into their strategic intelligent, blah, blah, blah, blah. If we believe it's intelligent. It gets into all of that stuff. And it talks about terminology used and things like that. And it has, you know, some examples in it.

But it gets into threat overview militia, violent extremists, et cetera, three percenters. And they said that, like, for instance, some people use the term boogaloo, which references a violent uprising or impending civil war. I like smod, fiery boogaloo. The term is, I love when feds who set up the entrapment of Whitmer and they were there, J-6, and all this other stuff, I love when the feds try to make these observances, they say, oh, yes, the term boogaloo really resonates with militia violent extremists, MVEs, who have adopted it to use it. And they said, following perceived incursions on constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment. They get into targets and tactics. And I swear, I think they mentioned memes in here, I wouldn't doubt it. They also touch on key terms, right?

So key terms that are used. And so you got Boogaloo. Second Amendment is apparently a term that is a key term for militia violent extremists. So it has Second Amendment or 2A refers to Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. They said MVEs and others within the militia movement often reference and interpret it to justify private militia activities in their opposition to gun laws. You know you can have a private militia and a private and do private militia activities already, right? Right? That's what is this nonsense?

It gets into Agenda 21 Bugaloo, Bugout, False Flagg, FEMA camps, field training exercise. Who made this list up? Which FedFUD made up this list? I mean, I use all of these words. Am I a militia violent extremist? Because I use words like boogaloo, bug out, false flag, field training exercise, or Second Amendment. I use Second Amendment 2A all the time. So if you cite a constitutional right that makes you a violent extremist, it looks like that, right?

But none of the people who ever talk about taking those rights are ever considered to be violent extremist. That's kind of interesting. No, it's not a new thing, but it is updated. So this thing is, it's an updated list. I was just looking at this and I'm just like, I can't believe, oh, they call like a Buja Dahin, Big Igloo, Big Luau, Boog Boys, all these terms. They literally have, those are great terms, by the way. Buja Hadine, that's hysterical.

And other associated wordplay, in addition to imagery, like igloos, Hawaiian shirts, and lay, are used as coded references to the larger boogaloo phenomenon on and offline. This is a serious government document. Because some people use the term jokingly in RMVEs. Wait, what's the RMVE? We have the militia violent extremists. What's the R? I don't know.

Who advocate. They talk about racism, et cetera. So basically, anybody who uses the term boogaloo, they're trying to say as a racist, bug out. A phrase used by the word. by MVEs and non-extremest preppers to reference emergency contingency planning,

usually involving weapons, supplies, evacuation procedures, and rendezvous locations. Yeah. And? This is moronic. Absolutely moronic. But this is what, yeah, this is what their, this is literally what their,

our government is doing. Thoughts came? Did you elect them to do this? The FBI? I didn't elect anybody in the FBI. Yeah. What about Mullen Laib? Is that still a thing that they, I'm shocked that's not in there yet?

Is the come and take it or don't tread on me? Is that also? Someone made the point. So if you like the movie Kildozer, does that mean that you get added to the anti-Bugaloo department? The list? I'm just curious. What? Boogaloo? It just makes it not serious to me.

makes me want to say it more. It's like an 80s breakdance movie. Not interested. Yeah, it makes me want to say it more. I mean, hell, wait until they find out about skibbitty toilet, dude. Wait until they find out about skibbitty toilet. Sweet. We just got on list just then. Well, we're going to bug out to the Skibbitty Toilet Boogaloo. Oh, we're on list. Making it all the lists. This is what our government is doing. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
