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, and I will warn you, Steve, I do have a villager story here. First up, though, something, this doesn't seem very high speed. Florida Man leads police on a quote-unquote high-speed chase in a giant slow-moving semi. 51-year-old, his last name is Lobowski.

It's so perfect. Christopher Lobowski was apprehended after a high-speed pursuit. It was not high-speed. And it's safe to say that he really struggled driving this thing. It wove dangerously in and out of traffic and barely conducted a perilous U-turn on the highway, drove into incoming lanes people barely escape being hit and it finally concluded and the police were able to take the guy into custody but man alive that's something else let's see we also okay now we got a villager story we got a village is not going to be

prosecuted in an umbrella attack on her can I say that word It's the B word for dudes, but it doesn't end with itch. Husband. She's very not happy. Her mugshot, Dolores Dennis. Why does she have three first names? She, 76-year-old Dolores Dennis. She is a village of Virginia Tracy.

The charges were dropped against her. Her husband went to Sunmer County Sheriff's Office. He said his wife had threatened him with her at the pointy end of an umbrella during an argument. And they had an four-day-long argument. Wow. And she hit him on the, she hit him with, on the head with her umbrella. And she said, he said that she'd also been armed with a knife and threatened to cut his ankle so he couldn't walk. And he tried to record some of the chaos. So charges were dropped bizarrely. How much you want to bet they're going to be in our Florida man again here soon. Welcome back to a super pack program because it's been a crazy weekend of news. Daniel Ash with you. We're at the top of this third hour. The, I mean, we're going to get into the two American soldiers killed in a terror attack in Syria, but also the story with Rob Reiner. That was news that just came out of nowhere yesterday. His son stabbed him and his wife to death. When I first saw, or I think when I first heard about the story, it said that there were two fatalities at Rob Reiner's home. I just immediately didn't think of him being one of the fatalities, right? I was thinking, oh, there was an act.

accident or then I thought well maybe it's like one of those carbon monoxide kind of issues you know I was just thinking I didn't think of what happened that he was stabbed to death by his son which is horrific and apparently his son was really really really troubled and they're I mean even so much with his siblings apparently hours before the stabbing he uh Rob Reiner and and his wife were at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party with their son, Nick, who now has been arrested in charge with the killing of his mother and father. And apparently they've always kind of had a strained relationship. I know that they did a film together that kind of focused on Nick's struggles with drug

addiction and things like that. And they said that he was an intense kid who screamed like the world was. on fire, according to a family friend and someone who wrote about apparently child behavioral problems. Just, I mean, awful. They had, I mean, I can't imagine your last moments on earth. You're looking into the face of your child, the person that you love more than, you know, you love so much and you would give your life for, and you brought into this world and

raise them up and just to have your final moments be their furious face as they end your life. I can't imagine anything more horrific. I mean, that's just horrifying. And for his siblings, because he has a brother and a sister too. Golly, I don't, how do they, how do they even deal with that? That's just horrible, absolutely horrible. Apparently as Ms. Seuss found him. And, yeah, they were at the Conan O'Brien holiday party, it says, per TMZ. they got into a very loud argument that other guests could hear and then Rob Reiner and his wife left the party and then Sunday everybody had their throat slit. I mean, because that's how he killed him. He slit their throat and then stabbed them. Awful. And I, no one said what the argument was about. Other than that they had just, he just had an argument and it was very, very loud. some apparently he was in rehab a lot he was like in rehab what 14 15 times his son was in rehab for a long a long time and apparently also dealt with mental illness so he was on drugs he was mentally ill had apparently a history of mental illness which makes me think also maybe there was a history of violence there but man I just can't it's awful now I know that when and I've seen some of the stuff out there people

Normally, if I really don't like the individual and it's bad news, I just don't say anything. This was just such a horrifying way to go out. No matter how much I would disagree with anybody about politics, I would never hope that they go out this. This is just awful. And I just can't even imagine. Your own child. Can't even imagine. I wanted to play for you this reaction that Rob Reiner had when he was asked about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

And the reason I'm playing this, because there's a lot of meanness and nastiness out there. I really, you know, I know we all love POTUS and we all love him, you know, taken down people on the left. I don't think that his tweet about this was the best. I think it was a, it was a misstep. He had tweeted about Rob Reiner and got real political about it. And I just, I don't think it's helpful. I don't think it's helpful.

We're like right before Christmas, especially, you know, Rob Reiner was very, graceful about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and I wanted to play this audio for you because this was at a time when nobody else in Hollywood and I'm just putting it out there this was a time when no one else in Hollywood was speaking about it in this way and I think he was one of the first listen to this and I unfortunately saw the video of it and it's uh it's in this it's beyond belief what happened to him and that should never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political

beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service that the memorial they had was exactly right

and totally I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in doing to us. others and I believe in forgiveness. And what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know, she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable. I mean, indeed. Just that was a very, and remember that when he said that, that was at a time when you had celebrities going, yeah, well, their politics were horrible or he had it coming.

He was like one of the first people who said, and he was pretty early out of the gate, like, no, no, no. This is just awful. And I just thought that was very classy. POTUS had tweeted about it. And he said, a very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, he says, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy stars passed away together with his wife, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive unyielding, an incurable affliction with a mind-cripling disease known as Trump. derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS, and he was talking about it, and he said, may rob him, Michelle, rest in peace. Oh, my gosh, come on, guy. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. And it's real. This was not an AI thing for the people. It was a real post. I just, there's a, this, the way that he went out was horrific, and that's it. No one, no one, nobody. I there's no amount of political disagreement that would make me want your last moments to be looking in the eyes of your child as they cut your throat it's awful we got to get to a moment where we recover a little bit of our humanity i was thinking about this jokingly i was looking at potis's tweet i'm like potis come on potis and i wanted to i my first

thought was dude that seems like t ds you can't have tds because you're or d ttes because you're d t because your DT. It's my first thought. I just, oh, just awful. Can I, and this is, do you ever have weird thoughts like this? The other thing I, that popped into my head was, I actually never thought, not that I ever thought about Rob Reiner passing away or anything like that, but it was just so, it's so shocking that you think of all the ways that you thought somebody might go, even if you

never actually thought about it, that's not the way that you thought they would go, right? Yeah, it's true. Like maybe peacefully in their sleep after a nice, meal or maybe, you know, I don't know. Not like that. Just horrific. But it's okay to try to find humanity in other people. And can I encourage you in this, which is weird for me to say, because I'm one of the meanest people that's in this industry. Admittedly, you don't have to wait for the other person to demonstrate humanity before you do. It's not a weakness. it's not a weakness. I mean, in scripture, you're told, well, how, I mean, Jesus explicitly,

it's in the red letters in the Bible, and y'all know what that means, where he says, how easy for it, how easy is it for you to like people who like you? How easy is it for you to do good unto people who do good under you? But doing good to others without the expectation of reciprocity, being kind to others without the expectation of reciprocity, that is true strength and true discipline. so just a thought it is the people over at ammo squared ammo squared can get you covered if you want to make sure that you always stay topped up no matter what caliber it is that you need this is a great gift for hunters preppers anybody who loves to shoot just likes being prepared it's uh america's ammunition reserve it's a worry free solution to to collect ammunition for the future and avoid getting caught empty handed you can choose from over 70 calibers you set a monthly budget and they automatically curate and grow your reserves you just set it and forget it It's a gift to keeps on giving all year long.

Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So let's get started here. So the Louvre, Louf, Kane. They're closing the doors to visitors because of a staff strike. I thought it was because all their artwork got ruined and it were stolen, but I might have been, yeah. It's a walkout. And they visited the most, it's the most visited museum in the French capital. They had 400 staff, trade unions announced. It's all backed. They said that they understaff museum workers. They weren't being given what they see. they needed in order to cope with the increasing flows of people. And, you know, they had the theft of these French crown jewels. Then they had a water leak that damaged all, like, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of books that they had. So they're having serious problems.

And then don't forget, wasn't there like another joke that somebody did? They pulled like some kind of joke. And they had like another. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought something in, like right by where the Mona Lisa was. So they're having a real one over at the Louvre. So now the staff was like, yeah, we're going to go on strike. We're done with this.

Oh, I can't actually say what I have this listed as on under our rundown. Stanford Medicine, a new Stanford Medicine study shows that the MRNA, why the MRNA vaccines can cause myocarditis. We all knew this. All of us knew this. All of us knew this. And this was why so many of us were so, we were not. not interested in taking this experimental shot. And so for, you know, all of the, we were talking

about this in 2021, 2020, all of the people, by the way, and I know we all have that, this is my little Merry Christmas, you know, ho, ho, ho thing. For all of the people that ended friendships because their friends wouldn't get the shot, burning an AIDS fire. Fala la la la, go stuff yourself. There you go. Because we all knew it. Oh, no, I'm not over it. Not going to be over it. Uh, let's see. Peter Green, oh, 60 years old. He was found dead. Found out in his apartment. Everybody remembers him. He was the mask. He always played like the scummiest villain. Did he not? I don't know what I would do if I saw him in a role where he played the good guy because he was so good at being bad. Uh, but they, he's passed away. Age 60, apparently had illnesses and some other stuff. Secret government UFO program reveals paranormal events. Well, I believe it. I believe it. I believe it. I believe anything at this point. except if my government you know though I was thinking about this if my government's telling me that aliens exist then I think that they don't because I don't trust my government hmm I'm really torn Kane this needs a whole segment anyway they said that a secret program known as AASAP literally what is called AASAP created in 2008 with Harry Reid when he was still alive it became the largest ever UFO investigation ever undertaken remember when he like fell all over over his bathroom with exercise bands and nobody believed him. Maybe it wasn't the mafia

because he was the gaming commissioner. Maybe he was aliens. It just went in and whipped him up. I don't know. But they said that, yeah, apparently it's, there's this, there's a program that has been following it for some time. You think that this is all drip drip stuff? Part of a plan to desensitize people to it? Oh, maybe. It possibly could be. That three eye Atlas dramatically changes color as the Earth approach is days away. Isn't it interesting how it's coinciding or on Christmas time? I think so as well. We're going to come back to that. We've got all kinds of news to unpack, stick with us.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, hit this hotel room in Coventry and took this man into custody. What we're told from law enforcement sources now is that they seized two firearms from this 24-year-old suspect. One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser site device. This has significance because, number one, that's a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun where when you aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target, and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes where the dot is. It's the kind of things used mostly by

professionals, tactical people, military people. The other aspect of it, though, is it... Who is this turd that's talking? Who is this absolute lunchbox that's talking? I mean, you know, it's a red dot. You just put the red dot on the gun, Ken. It's the magical is a very sophisticated device that allows you know, it's met by military people, fused by specialist under military

people. Who dot that? Where do they get these people? This is on CNN. They had this stooge up on CNN. If I was sitting there on set with them, I'd just smack them in the face. That's the dumbest thing that I've ever heard and we're all stupider for having heard it. First off, it's not like this

magical, sophisticated device. I have red dots. in fact one of my last pistols I got has a red dot on it by the way like laser sites red dots these are all very different things this guy's no idea what he's talking about number one number two it's you can buy it on damn amazon you can go into Walmart and get one they're not expensive millions of people have these it's and he's talking about the brown university this is it's not a special device that you can only get you can only get if you're like a pro or a military. I don't even know what that means, professionals and military. What does it even mean? This guy doesn't even know. This is the kind of stuff that they

can, I just please for the love of all things holy. If you're going to talk about it on your show, CNN, have somebody that knows what the hell they're talking about to discuss it. You just point and shoot, you clown. It's not going to do anything. It's not a magical instrument. We're told one of those firearms we're told as such, such as, uh, was a, quip with a laser sight, DeVos. It's a fairly sophisticated DeVos. I love how he tries to describe it. When you aim at a red

dot goes to where you want to target. And if you fire at the point, the bullet goes through the dot is. I can't with these people. These are not serious people on this issue. It's like saying George's a chainsaw bayonet. I mean, dude, this is just, I I think,

by the way, there are way more. This is where this guy's wrong. There are way more late there are way more sites and red dots on civilians firearms than there are military yes what is this guy even talking about who is this sentient turd who is it barely sentient good night it's not a uh yeah in the chat they're talking about how the red dot makes the bullets go faster see the bullets like it peeks out of the barrel and it goes what's that out there is that a red dot I'm going to go get that red dot And it goes faster

That's not how this works It doesn't work that way But yes Pretty sure I would bet the house On the fact that more civilians have this Than police for sure Or any kind of mill spec thing Oh my gosh, stop

This guy is no You can get one for like $15 on Amazon Right now There are people who put them on their salt guns for bugs that's they're i mean people use them all the time they're they're super cheap to get it's millions of millions have them but this is them trying to fear monger about this again brown university was a gun-free zone rhode island's pretty much a gun-free state so uh you know what what failed what did what did they have that failed million dollar question don't you think what didn't work

they're not going to evaluate it because that would require brain cells What also gets me about this is the absolute mess of the press conference from the post-Brown University. They're still looking for this guy. They can't find him. They got a guy in custody and then they had to let him go. Or they let him go. This was a cut 13. So while they were literally having this 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock, whatever press conference, the police chief of Providence, Rhode Island, somebody whispers in his ear that, well, you can't say being in custody. That's not the right thing to say. Watch this. This is 13. now someone's in custody

how you all are working together to guard that information someone being detained brother correct and so yeah someone being detained it led us to that point as far so if they're not in custody

what are they? Yeah detained they're just detained they're not into custody they're just detained yeah I this is a cut 14 Premier Jayapal

she's apparently want something that would make all of the laws that they already had more a lawyer? I don't know. Listen, this is 14. Because it's come to this place where these events are happening in every community across the

country and the answer to the majority of Americans is clear. Make it less easy for guns to be in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. And that means passing gun safety reforms. but every single time something like this happens, we don't get the reforms.

Okay, what reforms do you want? Brown University bans any and all firearms at all whatsoever, any and all weaponry, out all whatsoever on any aspect of its campus in total. You are not allowed to keep anything in your car. You're not allowed to have anything in your car. You're not allowed to have anything touch the property of the university. Rhode Island has a quote-unquote thought weapon ban. They have all kinds of stuff.

They have ammo restrictions, additional licensing. They have everything that you want. Why didn't your laws work? Why didn't they work? Do you know also, according to numerous independent studies, including if you look at Stanford University's data set of mass casualty incidents, do you realize that, especially within the past 10 years, gun-free zones specifically are targeted?

They are targeted. Do you remember the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado? The killer in that instance was going to, was actually looking at a different theater originally, and then ended up targeting that particular theater because it was explicitly a gun-free zone. When you look at, what was it, the mass casualty incident that took place recently, this was the Highland Park, where you had to, what was it, Highland Park elsewhere, gun-free zones, gun-free zones, the store in New York, gun-free zone. I mean, I'm just like going through my list at gun-free zone, gun-free zone.

Nashville, the killer targeted, explicitly set in writings, gun-free zone. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast. If you haven't already, make sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,
