Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So this is a story of two dog owners. The first one is a Florida man who got attacked by a bear cub and bitten on his stomach while he was defending his dog. He said he could not watch his dog die. Wasn't going to watch it. And so he fought like a black bear cub to try to save us.

He said the dog was chasing the cub. And yeah, Mama Bear was there along with two other cubs. He said he growled and charged. The bear did in return. And he said he just bit me right in the stomach. He said there were three bears. My dog saw them,

ran right for them. And he said that one of the bears had his little dog, which is course named Karen in his mouth. And he said, I ran up to it, kick the bear in the chest. him to drop her and he said that he could he's like I couldn't tell my kids at Christmas that their dog was eaten by a bear so I had to save this dog so good for him good for this Florida guy this Florida guy though police are I don't even gonna read this story he was arrested for slamming a dog

into concrete over a bathroom incident and I want to find this guy and do the same thing to him rhetorically speaking of course you know we're all about positive uh Marco Zuluaga 28 years old he swung a dog in a concrete that the dog yelped in agony, and he's been accused of animal cruelty and booked into county jail. Good. I mean, good. Now, if only, there was some prison justice. I'm just saying, I've seen mayor. I watch Mayor of Kingstown. I know how that works. I know how it works. And then coming up tomorrow, I'll have to share with you the giant gator Godzilla that dragged the biggest python ever seen past tourists. It's a terrifying video because both those things exist in Florida.

At the Medal of Freedom Ceremony, I had a touch on this. Hunter Biden was there. I hope they dusted for dust. He got pardoned and he was actually there at the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor that you can give someone in the nation.

And, of course, you know, you got George Soros there and you have Hillary Clinton there with her hairdo. what was her hairdo? Like she actually fixed her hair. I don't know what I thought. Did you see? She had like an, like an old 80s hairdo. Anyway.

But I'm just like, that's just cherry. That's just the cherry on top, right? Hunter Biden at this medal of freedom ceremony. Again, the highest sibling honor. And he's there shaking hands with everybody, talking to everybody,

hanging out. He was there, and he's in a photo with Alex Soros, who I guess, did he accept that award on it? Bono was there? Bono and the Biden. I think have a good relationship.

Because when I went to the State of the Union address, one of the state of union addresses that I went to, Bono was sitting in the same, well, like near us in the gallery. And he was a guest of Jill Biden, Joe and Jill Biden. So he was like her guest, went with them. So he gets one. He got a medal. George Soros got a medal.

Why are they so mad at Elon Musk when they have George Soros? Is the left like, only we're supposed to have Billy? Is that their whole thing? They gave a posthumous medal to Robert F. Kennedy for some reason. Okay. And he, of course, Hillary Clinton, who had Margaret Thatcher hairstyle. Oh my gosh. And they also gave one to Anna Wintour.

I totally don't understand that. Why? That's like, there are so many people who do so many great, amazing charitable things. and they and you're going to give it to like Anna Wintore you're going to give a medal of freedom to Anna Wintor she runs Vogue you're going to give that to her

but there are people toiling away and they don't do it for attention they don't do it for adulation they do it because they love other people and they're they they just they want to contribute to their community I don't know

am I being picky because I feel like this is really I think it's like Democrats hat tip to Jane Goodall they believe to be culture. Jeez, Jane Goodall. That's another one. I don't know.

I just, I've got, Ralph Lauren and Denzel Washington were probably the only two of the names that I'm mentioning who deserved it. Oh, and then, you know, they gave it to David Rubinstein who lets the Biden's vacation in his Nantucket house, everything's giving. So if you let Biden, like, vacation, in your house over the holidays, and I guess you can get a medal of, you know, you can get a medal of freedom too. What did Hillary Clinton? Why is she getting, why is she getting a Medal of

Freedom Award? She single-handedly is responsible for helping to reintroduce the Muslim Brotherhood back into Egypt after they had been banned and then Egypt banned them again and also destabilizing Libya. What in the world? Why is she getting a medal of freedom? I'm surprised he didn't didn't give Fauci one. Good. What in the world? I'm actually surprised he didn't give Hunter Biden one just as like a big blankio to not just the administration, but also the voters. I'm kind of surprised. Got to say. Oh, and then he gave a one to Jose André, who I cannot stand. I cannot stand Jose. Do you know who Jose Andre is? He's the guy. He's the like Hamas loving guy who was, who was complaining about, why does Israel have to be so mean to Gaza without? He's like a big,

he's a big progressive. He's, you know, didn't he, he's run his mouth and all kinds of stuff. He's started like a number of different restaurants. I think they're all fish related. I've only seen some of his restaurants and they're all fish related, I think. But he's gotten all these words for, you know, his cooking and all this stuff.

Anyway, so he got, he got one. He's very far left. He got one as well. So, you know, just saying, If you are of the left and you can buy access, then you can, you too can get a medal of freedom. They had Lionel Messi, didn't they, wasn't he going to give Lionel Messi one? I'm sorry, I don't get that either. He's been with Inter Miami for a hot second. All right. Come on.

Am I being, I don't dislike him at all. I'm just explaining to you. I don't understand what the hell is going on with this. metal. It's like I said, it's a hat tip to culture what they believed. Was he trying to get messy because he's like, oh, here's my inn. And then messy was like, I'm not even showing. He didn't even go. He didn't even go. I wouldn't have gone either if I were him. I mean, why? Because it looks cheap. You're getting an award with George Soros and Hillary Clinton. How much cheaper can you make it look, right? But I still don't understand why. Is there a reason why? I mean, he's been here a hot second.

Are we not allowed to ask these things anymore? I'm curious. Why are you not saying anything? Cain's over here going, I'm sitting already. I think they are doing the hat tip to culture because they believe they know about all of this, that politics is downstream from culture. So that's why they do this.

That's why they do these ceremonies. That's why they do any of these. Well, I know, but these are supposed to be, you know, you're supposed to do something like really great. Yes, I don't know. I'm going to, let's make metal ceremonies great again.

I don't or how about let's not do it if it's not article one section 8 and let the states recognize people that's how petty I'm getting about how much I want to cut government I don't even want them creating medals unless it's like military related I don't want this I just I don't want it but I do think it's funny that messy was just like no I'm not going to do it apparently Magic Johnson got it too I mean who didn't get one at this point like everybody got one on the left anyway I'm just I don't know I'm just I'm curious he said he sent a representative but he didn't attend the ceremony. And he sent a letter like, thank you, blah, blah, blah. I still don't know why he got one. I don't know.

Yeah, Daniel Penny, you're right. Daniel Penny should have gotten one. You know what? Trump should, his first Medal of Freedom. Trump should award he should give medals, Medal of Freedom, to Jason Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny. Kyle Rittenhouse, sorry. Who else am I thinking of?

There's like a third one that I would. I'll remember it later. But Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, there's a third one that I would give a medal to as well. Just saying, you know, all that's self-defense. Just, you know, our partners, they help bring you the program. It's our friends over at Keltek, Florida-based company. And they do lots of really, they make lots of really nice stuff. Now, they're also, apparently they're unveiling something new during shot show this year.

And this is the year that everybody always unveils the newest, you know, the newest product that they have. and KELTEC is no exception. So they're going to be presenting some new things coming up for Shot Show, and we'll talk about it when it happens. But if you want to hear about all the latest that they have when the news drops, I'm going to be actually at Keltek's booth at Shot Show. And I'll be able to cover everything. You're not going to be able to actually be there in attendance. It's a private industry event, but we'll know what they have. Apparently, I haven't even been told.

But as you know, the P-15, lightest thinness double-stack 9mm on the market, or it's the KSG family of shotguns, or it's the fold and half-carbine family of sub 2Ks, all kinds of awesome stuff. And they're going to unveil their latest, just actually at the end of the month. Visit keltecweapons.com, K-E-CWeapons.com slash Dana. And while they are signed up for the Keltek Insider e-newsletter, get their posts, all of that good stuff. It's Keltekweapons.com slash Dana. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. It's the feel-good story that you didn't know that you needed to start off your new year.

A tech entrepreneur trapped in a circling self-driving car on the way to the airport said, I feel like I'm in the movies. A Los Angeles tech entrepreneur got stuck in one of the self-driving vehicles so long that he almost missed his flight. The guy's name is Mike Johns. He was in a self-operating Waymo taxi on his way home from Scottsdale. When the vehicle went rogue and began driving. driving in non-stop circles. And he had to make a panic call for help.

He said, it's going in a circle. I'm getting dizzy. It will not stop. And he was trying to talk to a Waymo customer service rep in the backseat of the vehicle. He recorded some of it too. He goes, I can't even get out of the car. He's been hijacked. I have no idea what's happening.

So he almost missed his flight. But apparently even their customer service was AI automated. So he actually didn't get to talk to anybody. But that's a terrifying thing. I'm telling you, I'm not an EV fan. And I think that they were pushed because of government subsidies and a whole bunch of other stuff. And they've been pushed on the street way too early than they should have. But that's my only piece up.

Let's see here. In New Jersey, they have new fewer standards when it comes to education now. New Jersey teachers are no longer required to pass a basic literacy test. That's a new thing. It's under Act 166.9. Individual seeking an instructional certificate in New Jersey no longer have to pass a basic skills test for reading, writing, or math. Signed into law. That's true.

Yeah, it is. Absolutely. It's a thing. The bill, this like passed what in May 24, 34 to 24 to 24 to two vote. It clear the chamber. So, yes, they said that the testing requirement was unnecessary to enter. Yeah, to get your certification. So that's in New Jersey.

I'm sure that that's going to work out real well for them. You know, we're supposed to be positive because X is pushing positivity. You know, like that meme? The guys going, I said we're positive today. That's how we are. You've got to say it positively. New York City residents are being slapped with congestion fees, a pricing surcharge. And companies are, because everybody has to pay, like, tolls to go into Manhattan now.

And everybody is complaining. Even if you don't drive, you have to basically pay the new. new toll because that companies that make deliveries or provide services, they have to add the cost of the fee is a surcharge to all of their customers. And that's, and already people are complaining. It's already getting out of control. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. You know, after the attack in New Orleans, where, again, why were the, I know I and many other people were wondering where the street barriers that they had installed to go up, they can auto pop up, why those weren't up.

But while everybody was processing that, Allstate CEO, Tom Wilson, Audio Sunwhite 32, does a video and says this. Welcome to the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community.

Our prayers are with the victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people's imperfections and differences.

Together, we win. Wait, what? What the hell does this have to do with any? We're going to celebrate. Why don't you tell that to the guy who drove the vehicle down Bourbon Street and murked people? You're all right, Kane. So was that a difference or a divisiveness? What, the guy driving the vehicle down the?

Yeah, that's a great point. I mean, if you were to read what the press was saying, this SUV just decided to attack people, you know, truck decided to attack people. That's what it was. That's the video that you put out after this happens? This is insane. I mean, immediately, it's, we have to, we have to focus on what, do they think that that's somehow going to just smooth things over? we'll focus on diversity. That's what we'll

focus on. I was looking to pulling up this video because I just couldn't believe that this is why they scrubbed it too by the way.

They posted it and it's gone. So if you were looking for it it, you know, you're not going to be able to find it now. It's not out there anymore. The guy had an ISIS flag. The terrace had an ISIS flag on a rented pickup and he mows people down on Bourbon Street.

And then the mosque that he attended said that their focus needs to be on the safety of our community. Don't talk to members of the press unless you consult the terrorist group called CARE, Council for American Islamic Relations, which has a very interesting history and has very interesting financial associations as well. So they are immediately, we don't want to cooperate. to me that's a further insult to a community that this guy attacked. And to immediately, well, do not cooperate with any, because he attended that mosque. What are they, what's going on at that mosque that this guy comes out so radicalized and he drives a truck with an ISIS flag through a bunch of people at Bourbon Street?

What's happening at that mosque? What, you know, and then you have Joe Biden who goes out and says, no, no, no, it's still white supremacy. That's the big thing. Well, I mean, so these white supremacists. must suck because I don't see like not even remote I don't see any any kind of death and destruction like I've seen from I would say the non-white supremacists. It's just so stupid. And how do you not know?

I don't know. Maybe if the guy spoke out at a school board meeting, the FBI would have had him on the radar. I mean, I could sit here and make these jokes over and over again. But at some point, my gosh, why don't you pay attention to the threats that you know exist? And I got a million questions about what's at, because wasn't he at, well, they don't call it Fort Bragg anymore. It's at Fort Liberty. It was one of those renaming, one of the renaming sprees that they went on. It's goofy.

It's so, it's so Mao-esque. But they were worried about the backlash against their community. And then you have the Allstate right before the game with this, that came out with that. We need to overcome addiction to divisiveness and negativity. What does this have to? So I just, you know, if you're asking me of whether or not I think it's really negative to ram a truck into a bunch of people on Bourbon Street, that, you know, as like, you know, jihadi move, that seems pretty negative, right?

Like on a scale of one to ten with ten being super negative, that seems like a 10, right? I just Who at all state decided that they were going to put this wet fart out there as a statement? Who decided that they were going to do this? Overcome an addiction to divisiveness

And how about the, you know what is a really bad division? The division of having your leg literally run off of your body by a truck flying an ISIS flag or what about someone who's separated forever from their family because they were killed to death by the truck with the ISIS flag. Just say that in the jihadi driving it. That seems

pretty divisive. Oh my gosh. And so they did have to scrub it. So they scrubbed their timeline. They took it down. Of course, you know, it's the internet. The video stays up for forever. But they deleted their post because they got so much pushback. They got so much pushback. I mean, that was one of the dumbest, no, that's one of the dumbest thing. Also, too, I was thinking about this. Screw the positivity. Screw the positivity. I'm going to tell you something.

And this is where I wish that tech bros would kind of maybe have a little bit of an understanding. I think it's great that some people have moved to the United States and have created companies and have done all these amazing things. That's great. Some of us have been here for a hell of a long time. hell of a lot longer than some of these other people have when before they came to the United States and created companies and got federal subsidies and everything else. And we have been,

we put up with being called every name in the book by ideological opponents who try to conflate policy positions with moral failings. And they will accuse you of everything under the book simply because you oppose giving government more authority over the day-to-day lives of everyday Americans. And for this, we have been denigrated. We have been targeted. We have been persecuted. Some have been prosecuted.

They have been doxed and stalked and smeared and name called. And whenever the left comes out of power, they always want to turn around and tell the Republicans that are climbing into office behind them, oh, we need to be nice and we need to be unified. Piss off. I have zero interest. and being nice or being unified or demonstrating any kind of courtesy over the past several

decades after being kicked around by the progressive left. I am sure as I'll not going to be positive about it on social media. I'm not going to be positive when there's nothing to be positive about. I'm not going to hold, I'm not going to do the whole let's be friends and let's reconcile because in order to have reconciliation, people have to have an accountability of the wrongs that were done. And the left's idea of reconciliation is you just look over everything that we've ever done. So we never have to have accountability for it. We never have to ask for forgiveness because asking for forgiveness would imply that we've done something wrong, which we don't believe that we have. So we want a fake reconciliation. I don't want a fake reconciliation. If I don't get

the real thing, I want a reckoning. That's the only other, that's acceptable. So this Allstate stuff? Yeah, screw Allstate. I don't have them for anything. I had to double check. I don't have them for anything. I'm just, it's, to be lectured like that right before a football game after people were killed, as though you're a part of the problem, as though you drove this guy to be a jihadi and stick an ISIS flag on his truck, as if you had a responsibility in doing it because you want to be divisive. That seems pretty divisive. And if someone is driven to the point where they have to drive through a crowd of people as a jihadist action, because they have their feels hurt by other people's positions on policy issues, that person, that person, you know,

should be eliminated from walking the face of the earth because that would actually be a boom to the to to people because you don't have this dangerous individual walking around anymore I just it's just so goofy I get the whole positive this is why I hate new year's resolutions I don't do new new year's resolutions because they're stupid we're celebrating the earth we're celebrating going around the sun once more woo am I too cynical I might be but I just it's stupid I don't care And I, no new year, no new, I'm not doing any of that stuff. I'm not because, because Democrats are out of power, I'm not going to say, oh, that's great. Let's have unity.

I'm not doing that. And I don't think that you should do it either for the exact reason that I mentioned. This isn't, they don't want reconciliation. They don't want that. There's nothing to do with reconciliation. And there's no unity without reconciliation. But what do you have to have for reconciliation? You, in order to reconcile, you have to have an acknowledgement of grievances.

You have to. Otherwise, what's the point? You're just papering it over and going on to get along? No, because that's how you get in this position in the first place. It doesn't make any sense. None at all. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast. If you haven't already,
