Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. So a central Florida man was accused of stealing appliances from construction sites.

Why do people think that stupid stuff like this is going to go unnoticed? So this dude is Flager County. It was Flager in St. John counties. one Orlando resident filed a police report because she discovered her home had been ransacked. I mean, just stole everything, including the air conditioning unit. And this, they are, they finally arrested this guy.

Apparently, he's been just like ransacking homes for quite some time. And they said that they, they caught him like red-handed. He had all these appliances that he was stealing from these construction sites right in the back of his truck. And so he was in a Chevy Solerado. They caught him on camera doing it. They ran him down. and they are looking for more because he wouldn't working alone

so they're looking for Flager County they're looking for more tips on people doing it. That's crazy. So you would have to basically you would have to like hire you gotta have security there at some of these places then to protect the construct

and protect the stuff that you're putting in these properties. I mean how is a guy like that able to get on there so easily? It's kind of crazy. This Sanford man was accused of hitting his girlfriend with a fishing reel and a police dog found him in a tree.

Oh, yeah. K-9 red. I love the canines. If that man hurt that canine, I will drug him. The same for a man who's jailed $40,000 bond. He hit his girlfriend in the head with the fishing pole. Oh, and then he also pointed a gun under which the headline, that seems to me, like that's the most important part. Henry Perdue was charged with battery with the deadly weapon, aggravated assault, possession of, because he's a convicted felon, so he's a prohibited possessor, but he was in an illegal possession anyway. And he also stole the gun that he was using, so grand theft of a firearm. Lots of felonies here. So she had cuts to her head when police arrived. He wasn't home, but a canine handler and the dog tracked him down. He was found hiding in a tree.

So they were able to get him in. A man was arrested on a drug charge after barking like a dog at an auto parts store. A Florida man is accused of, if you guessed meth, you'd be right, possessing it after he was allegedly observed, barking like a dog in a Georgia auto parts store for over an hour. Wow. That's dedication. Monroe County online booking record show Jonathan Navas of Palm Coast He's 29 was arrested, charged with possession of meth

And battery They said that it was an advanced auto parts store That called the police to say that this not jobs in the store Think he's on drugs and he's barking like a dog He's been in there barking like a dog for over an hour So the guy told police that he had no idea Literally what he told them No idea that his barking was causing any issues

So he was arrested. Bons said, set of 5,000. He also had an active worn out for his arrest for previous offenses. Just, geez. This guy, let's see, beat his neighbor with a golf club and shot him in the ankle.

Kings Point, Palm Beach Post. Oh, my goodness. Just to see, golf sounds violent. A 77-year-old man shot a dog walker in the ankle and then turned around and beat him with a golf club and their shared senior community. Jurors are, acquitted Robert Levine of aggravated battery with the firearm and discharging it in public.

He was trying to say that it was self-defense. But when you then get the guy on the ground and you're beating him with a golf club, that's not self-defense anymore. At that point, you're the aggressor. So he got, he was convicted only of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. And he's going to be sentenced on March 27th. He said that he was fearing for his life. And that's why he ended up having to use this firearm.

But then, you know, after that. you know, when you're the aggressor and the guys like trying to flee, you can't, then you, you can't, when you're pursuing, you're no longer in a defensive position. And that's what prosecutors take into consideration. That's what, I'm going to be careful with this stuff. Let's see. This, apparently this guy, Florida man riding a lawnmower, has a knack for taking down mailboxes. He keeps running into mailboxes with his writing lawnmower. Lee County Sheriff's Office is investigating this. this because he's destroyed multiple mailboxes along the same road. They say it's egregious, but it's also funny because it's all on video. So this one guy decided to build his mailbox out of brick, like the three little pigs, and it's like basically was challenging this guy. He's been cited a million times. Our partners over at Keltec, the Keltec PR 57. Now, I did, I did go get mine. I haven't been able to really fire it yet because it's been busy preparing for some stuff that we got coming up. But very excited to put a few hundred rounds through this.

And it's one of the latest from Caltex. I think it's actually genius. It's a really smart 5-7. And if you like 5-7, you always wanted to carry one. I think for men, obviously, it's a heck of a lot easier for us. Ladies, we're just built differently. This is the lightest 5-7 that's on the market. it's actually 40% lighter than the next lightest to 5-7.

And from Kel-Tec, it's the PR-57 rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5-7. Low recoil. It's actually great for everyday carry because it's super thin and super light. They achieve it two ways. The rotary barrel, which makes it super light and the unique top loading design. That gets this replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips. You have a slimmer carry profile 20 plus one capacity. MSRP is only 399, super, super affordable.

It's the first of its kind. KELTEC PR 57, rotary barrel pistol chambered N57. Visit KELTECWeapons.com to learn more innovation performance, KELTEC, Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Play this. What is this audio that you gave me, that you stuck in? The lady with the tiny house.

Where is this at? What channel is it in? That's in the general. Okay. This has nothing to do with any of the stuff that they were talking about. But this chick, what was she? She was saying that, talking about how out of control government is. And I was down with her until she said what she was going to build.

She said she has 37 acres. She wants to put a tiny home on her 37 acres. And she said the government said you can't do that, even though it's her property. And she owns it. She owns 37 acres. They can't, you can't put that up on your property. You don't really own property, though. You know that, right?

you really don't own it. But she said she wanted to build a tiny house and I don't like the tiny house movement because I'm a maximalist. I would rather live in one large shack than a tiny house. But you wouldn't want to deny anyone that

if that's what they want. She's already got a big house on the property. I mean, if she wants to... I think it's a communist sci-up. I don't like tiny houses. And I also don't like ship lap. It, you know, all houses don't have to look like public rest stops. You know, it's our government is why we have tiny houses even to begin with.

You know that, right? What do you mean? Every regulation that we've ever been imposed that's ever been imposed on us has been to overcharge us for everything. We have to get licenses for this, inspections for that, all the, everything becomes, now, all the, there's necessary inspections, don't get me wrong. But there's so many levels of intrusion by the, the government on the financial side, on the real estate side, on the actual property tax side, that homeowners themselves, they have to go small in order to afford it.

It's been my dream for 20 years to build my own big, giant, real-life-sized trebushe. And it's actually pretty disconcerting the regulations that are against that kind of stuff. The trebushe? Yeah. I mean, I don't really have enough property where I'm at right now to fling it. Right. But maybe someday. But it's going to happen.

You need a cooperative neighbor. or you know it could make a neighbor cooperative there's also that anyway can we play this more because she was talking about government restrictions on property and you guys and i i especially like stayed and local i hope she doesn't cuss go ahead oh yeah even if you own 37 acres of land the government will still control your land did you all know that because i didn't know that and i just walked into the municipal building and i'm going to put a tiny home on my property and he immediately said nope you can't do that. I was like, what are you talking about? I have 37 acres. There's plenty of room to put a tiny home. Nope, you can't do that. You're zoned to have one house on your property. I'm like, dude,

my property is massive, okay? And this is for my kid's future to have a tiny home. Ultimately, I want three, three little tiny homes in the back corner of our property. Nope, you can't do that. What do you mean? You can't do that. No, zoning is planned for your, I'm like, what plans does the government have for my property? I don't understand what you're saying to me. And you could tell this guy had never gotten any pushback because I was pushing back. Like, you're telling me, I can't put a tiny home on my property for my children to live in when they're 18, 19, 20, young adults. What are you talking about? No, it's not zoned for that. Okay, so we're doing it. And then he's like, well, there's a floodplain here. And I was like, he said, a hundred year floodplain. I said, well,

what year are we on? He couldn't tell me. He's like, it doesn't work like that. I was like, what do you mean? What year are we on? Because we put a drain tile in, so I know it's not So we have this stuff, even in our town, where if you're going to do additions and stuff like that, like you have to have, even for the studio when we were rebuilding, like considering rebuilding a bigger studio, there's like all kinds of considerations and stuff to go through. You never really own your own property. It is, it is ridiculous. Although I will say, tiny houses, I'm a maximalist.

I can't, I can't. If I was going to build property, it would be like a, like not a tiny property on my property, but it would be something maximalist. Can't do the tiny stuff. I can't do. But if you want to have like a little shire in the back part of your yard, you know, what if you were like, no, no, no, I'm not making these things, these structures for anyone to live in. I'm just a big Lord of the Rings fan.

And I'm just recreating the shire in my own backyard for my own personal enjoyment. Could you really argue against that? I mean, if you hate good literature and everything lovely, then I'm sure you, you know, those people exist. But, you know, I would build it and then never tell anybody. you can't come on my property. I'll shoot you dead. Castle doctor and stay out. No trespassing.

Get out. You can't come on my property. I just do it and, you know, like nobody would know, right? Nobody would ever know. No snitching neighbors, no snitch, you know. I don't know. I just, but you, it is frustrating.

This is one of the reasons why a lot of people in Texas have been pushing on just, you know, getting rid of reducing or getting rid of property taxes. It is crazy. We have to fight stuff. every single year. And that's, that is one big thing that you do have to really go back and forth on with Texas lawmakers, I tell you. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January, 2024, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs research, the upward trend is expected to persist

due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy. Easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They're a huge supporter of this show, and they're the best at what they do.

That's Dana likesgold.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. We need knife control in D.C. D.C. mass stabbing suspect was arrested after attacking six people, including innocent bystanders at random and a substance-fueled frenzy. Try that in a concealed carry town. The D.C. police, they responded to the scene.

It was two miles from the Capitol. It was like 3.20 p.m. yesterday after we got off air. they found him the male suspect on the ground suffering from stab wounds but he had heard a number of people they said he was in a quote alternate mental state from an unknown substance and that's how it began also rising odds i am really upset over this and i feel betrayed smog the asteroid that we thought might you know kind of ping the earth is actually threatens to hit the moon instead i mean you know that's going to just mess stuff up for everybody, but it's not going to be the end of humanity, sadly.

I'm saying it's a, it's a huge asteroid. Now it has a 4% chance of smashing into the moon. So there is a chance though. It's, they thought it's, the size of it is capable of leveling a city, according to data from the James Webb

Space Telescope. It has 3.1% chance of it in our home planet. Apparently the biggest, highest chance more than any other asteroid that they've measured previously. And it required the Earth's planetary defense community to leap into action. Further observant observations quickly rolled out the asteroid called 2024-Y-R-4 or Giant Disappointment will strike Earth on December 22nd, 2032.

Wow, we've got to wait that long. Maybe it can change its trajectory. Could we send Bruce Willis up there and have Aerosmith play and he can jackhammer the asteroid into a new trajectory? I mean, I'm sure it's possible. I know engineering, guys, because I can eyeball a wall and hang a picture. I have a story about that. He was like perfectly in the center.

I swear to you. My husband was like, that's an exception, not a rule. Stop it. Amazon has a bid to buy TikTok per New York Times. Does that, does that mean we got to use TikTok if somebody buys it? You telling me I got to create an account on TikTok. I will annoy the hell out of everybody on purpose. I will create the most horrible content.

So, yeah, they said that they put in the last minute offer to buy TikTok. And I guess we're going to, it's now we're playing wait and see. see if they take up the offer. Well, San Francisco's rethinking its free handouts of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Wow, I wonder why. I wonder why that's happening. San Francisco's now scratching their heads thinking, you know what, maybe it wasn't a great idea to hand out free drugs and drug paraphernalia to drug addicts. Maybe it wasn't a good idea.

It's like, you know, giving kids to a kid toucher. Why would you do this? When was it ever a good idea, though? Oh, they thought it was at some point. I mean, they literally had billboards around the city where it was like, do it with friends, people partying and doing drugs.

Like, what? What in the world? I mean, they, they lit, to call San Francisco liberal is an insult to classical liberalism. I'm not going to do Tochville that way. They are morons. It's a moron city. And so, yeah, they said

that they were giving people clean foil pipes and plastic straws so they could smoke their fentanyl and methamphetamines. Oh my gosh, you guys are so nice. You know what's going to make someone stop doing drugs and living on the streets and being a taxpaying responsible citizen? Giving them more foil to smoke

their crack in. Do you use foil for crack? I don't even know. It's like a little, it's like a barefoot contessa out there. What the hell? Right? Here's my ingredients. Here's what you're going to need for your fentanyl. You're going to need your foil. I don't even know

what else you need. Anyway, and they spent, by the way, hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on these supplies. And speaking of California, two cities in SoCal now have the highest sales tax in the country after the law went to effect in addition to the high income tax and everything else. Great job, guys. So I mean, this is like the perfect time to talk about the blackballed Jesus female, right? Yeah, let's do it. Cynthia Irvo. I don't know if you all saw this or not. She's going to play, I guess, the titular role of Jesus in Jesus Christ, superstar at the Hollywood Bowl.

Hollywood Bowl. That's like a, that's the, the big amphitheater that they got there. So she's going to be playing Jesus there. I don't know why. I guess, you know, they got a, they got them. I would think that just putting on anything that has Jesus in it in Hollywood is going to be controversial enough. But they're like, nah, let's, let's take the edge off it. So they have Cynthia Irvo, who is in that, I, that, that,

musical Wicked, which I think is made entirely of estrogen and collagen. That whole play, that whole musical is made of those two things. So they are, uh, she's starring as this. And, and I don't know why they chose to pick her. It's going to be Andrew, it's Andrew Lloyd Weber, Tim Rice is Jesus Christ superstar. Uh, she, I guess it's, uh, it's this summer. She also starred as Mary Magdalene in a different production. It's going to be in August with the Hollywood Bowl. And, oh, gosh, it's going to, I'm assuming it's a musical. I know nothing about, but I guess she's playing the black ball Jesus.

So I thought, well, you know, what do we just go all the way, right? Ask her to play Muhammad and see how well that goes. You know, just a thought. Like Cynthia Irvo, as Mohammed, you know, just could be. But then, you know, if we're going to be doing stuff like this, because I know that the left gets very, very sensitive about it unless they are looking at taking over, like traditionally white characters with minority actors or it's never reversed. And I mean, I don't really put a lot of stock into it, except the left freaks out so badly. It's like, imagine, you know, redoing Harriet Tubman,

her story and casting Jesse Plymonds as Harriet Tubman. You guys know who Jesse Plymonds is? It's Justin Dunst's husband. He's a great actor. Or redoing roots. And Chris Hemsworth as Kuntikente. Just imagine how well, I mean, right? I mean, we can just take it all over. Or, you know, if maybe you want to get out of U.S., you know, historical recreations, we could go to Samurai and you could, let's do ladies, let's do Lady Snowblood.

Lady, and I love Samurai films. Lady Snowblood, but starring Chris Pratt. Right? works right can you believe it it's in line i mean there's so many things we could do it opens a lot of doors yeah opens a ton of doors i'm just tired of the left always going you know what let's do something rude about jesus that's all they and they're and every year or maybe like every three years they do

this like no one's had this thought before what if now hear me out we insult christians what if we do that yeah it's a totally original idea and they're all high-fiving each other every three years they do this it was actually trite back when Madonna did it I was in elementary school when she did what was the song she did and I remember all the Catholics got mad about it because one of my friends

their family was super Catholic she was like one of 11ty kids and that was not Madonna was not allowed in their house after that what song was it? It wasn't like a virgin it was the one where she was they like burned crosses in it and it was nighttime and she was darkheaded in that video

I don't remember somebody will tell me I don't really care. I don't have enough room on my brain to remember all that trolops work. Anyway, but you guys know what I mean. Some just, you know, it's just so, just cliche anymore. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
