Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. So we're now that point in the show where I come across the Florida Man headline

and I'm like, oh, what? Before I do that one, let me just put this right here for you, Kane. Let me just set that right here. This came from our Florida woman, Amber, who finds the weirdest stuff to send God lover. Oh. A Florida man accused of using a cane to beat another driver in a road rage incident.

God man, his cane, so he's an elderly individual. You know how a cane feels about the oldies. Florida man accused of beating another driver with his cane. 69 year old. He got mad because a driver cut him off. So he armed himself with a cane and decided to go to beat downtown. with his cane. I mean, you don't even need anything else at this point. According to the charging affidavit, Thomas Wolfe is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon because the cane can be used as a

deadly weapon. But he said the other driver cut him off. So why would you get out, just stop getting out of your car and doing stuff. Stop fighting other people. I mean, yes, no one else can drive but you. I get it. I feel that way. Every time I get behind my steering wheel, I'm like, oh my gosh, nobody can drive in Texas. Oh, my gosh. I get it. But that doesn't mean that you should get it. But that doesn't mean that you should get out and beat someone with your cane. You're going to get charged. Also, you could end up like this guy. There's just literally no way to do this.

Wait, you're choosing this one? Yeah, I am because it's ridiculous. Over all the other ones that are in there. No, I know, but this one is insane. And I feel like... That's true. So here's the thing. I feel like when people from Florida send me these stories,

if I don't read them, then they send me worse ones. They just keep amping it up. So just let me... A Florida man with a thermos inserted in his body was caught sneaky to... into Polk County Jail. This is from Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

A man tried to smuggle a thermos into the jail in his prison wallet. Walter Freymier. That man is 51. A deputy, Judd said a deputy likely saved his life and arrested him when he arrested him because he had to take him to the hospital where a specialist had to remove the

thermos. He said that the ordeal began with a complaint about a man naked at the park. And the guy said, well, I'm not naked. got socks on. Well, no, that's not, sir, that's not true. But they, what he said was the sheriff in his, when talking to the press about it, he said, yeah, he put it up the exit ramp. You know what I mean? And then gave a knowing look. That's how reporters described it. Oh, my gosh. I don't, I don't have any words. Okay, there you go. Don't send me any bad ones, guys. Don't send me any

horrible ones because then we just, it's a horrible thing. Let's see. Afford a man, strep a deputy stolen ATV to his car roof. That's impressive, actually. Yeah, that's like, you know what, that's some hillbilly expertise right there. As we move, our partners that will bring you the program, it's Keltec, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. With Keltec, this is one of the many shotguns that they have over at Keltec and the KS7 is built for compact spaces and maneuverability.

It's a smoother pump action for faster, cleaner cycling, ultra-lightweight, it just under seven pounds unloaded, compact bullpup design, seven plus one capacity. And you can get the defender package, and there's a bunch of stuff that comes with that, including a vortex. You've got extended butt pad, all kinds of stuff. MSRP is only 639, so it's completely.

affordable and accessible. It's from Keltec, K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com made in Florida. KeltekWeapons.com. It's the KS7 Gen 2. Tell them Dana sent you. Democrats are trying to really drive that, drive that point. And that gets into the whole Zach Bryan stuff and all of that. That guy is just a sentient turd. He's really trying to backpedal with a lot of those stuff.

So if you were unaware, he decided to make a video. well he wrote a song rather he wrote a song and he was slamming immigrations and custom enforcement in his song it's a very anti-ice song Zach I don't know I can't tell you what does Zach Brian sing I don't like pop country because it's soulless so I don't listen to it I like good music and I'll listen to any type of music but it has to be good so Kane do you know what songs Zach Brian sings I don't um Hank wouldn't have done it that way.

The same. No, and you're right about that. Although Seifas, he wouldn't have done it that way. He's also trying to backpedal a little bit from the original stuff. Steve, do you know anything that Zach Bryan has sung? Yeah, he's more fulky than country, I guess. He's sort of like a singer-retar songwriter thing. Oh, my gosh.

He's like a Joni Mitchell, but with balls. Oh, gross. Or that's questionable. Ew. I just, I don't like his face. Anyway, so he came out with, he pulled a Dixie Chicks. Wait, they're not even called that anymore, are they? Are they called Dixie Chicks?

Oh, that's right. They're just called. Oh, I can't. say it the chicks i think right so zach brian he uh decides to dixie chick bud light his career with his the song that he has now yes he did do the song try that in a small town okay so i just read that i don't know uh that's whatever so our way that was jason alteena did that right i don't even know i don't even know pop country but the thing is is that this guy decided he didn't just write a song where he was being critical of ice or something. He wrote this whole thing where he's like

the red, white and blue is fading and ice is going to come and bust down your door and all this stuff. And the lyrics, I mean, let me just, here's the lyrics from this Shakespearean lyricist came. Quote, I heard the cops came. Cocky mother blankers, ain't they? Ice going to bust down your door. Try to build a house. No one builds no more. But I got a telephone, croons, Zach Bryan. Kids are all scared and all alone. Hmm.

These are really bad. I just got shaken baby syndrome from reading that. Mmm. Mm. Gives me mental scoliosis, Kane. It's horrible. I did reach out to his camp this morning. Oh, they're never going to come on the show.

I referenced this Yahoo article. that came out a couple hours ago. And now he's saying he's wanting to clarify the misconstrued lyrics in that song. So we wanted to give him an opportunity to do it. And let me guess. They just jumped at the chance, didn't they? I haven't heard back yet. So now he's like all upset because he's got a lot of backlash to his song.

Who could have seen that coming? I mean, when you troll and you're surprised that there's a response to the trolling, I don't understand some of these people. So the, I'm not going to play it, but I don't know what he's saying, the fading of the red, white, and blue. And someone said he's backpedaling faster than a Russian circus bear. And I feel like that that's a great description. So he puts something up on his Instagram story where he said, he's, you know, so tough. He's like, please blank and read this.

And it's a song about how much I love this country and everybody in it. And so he, it's like, I'm not going to read this whole thing. It's just so long. He goes, I wrote this song months ago. I posted this song three months ago as a snippet. This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media. This song is about how much can I love this country and everyone in it and everything. And when you hear, Cain, the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle.

Everyone now is using this as a weapon, proven how devastatingly divided we are. Well, hold up, hold up, Slick. Hold up, Slick. We're literally quoting your words. There's no spinning of it. There's no trying to link and log up a narrative. We're just quoting your words, Slick. You had the balls to put it in a song and now you're going to go cower.

Well, that's not what I meant. No, well, what did you mean by? calling ice mother blinkers. Like, how else can that be interpreted? I'm waiting, oh, great Shakespeare of our time. Please, please reveal to the great unwashed masses, the genius behind your lyricism. Because clearly, we're too stupid to get it.

Please, oh, great Zach Bryan, please explain this to us. And then he's like, he goes, well, I serve this country. I don't care. That's great that you did. I don't know anything about him. That doesn't give you a pass to be. jackass. End of. And then he goes, I wasn't speaking as a politician. I don't care. You said what you said, dude. You could sit here and write however many graphs and dance all you want to. Oh, and then now

he's the victim. Here's this graph. Quote, the last few months of my life, I have been scrutinized by more people than I ever thought possible. Write a song about it. I feel like I've tried my hardest in so many ways, he writes. Oh, my gosh. And then he's like, I've been, oh, this is so cheesy. been falling off a cliff while trying to grow wangs at the same time Oh poor Zach Brian From southern Georgia? Where's he from?

He's from all over Mm-hmm. Yeah. And so So he Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that.

I mean, yeah. And he's apparently not a nice dude. All these people are coming out with stories. But just, stick to this. He wrote this song. He wrote the lyrics. Then he played, he added music to it. Then he recorded it. Then he made a video of him performing it. And then he posted it online. And he's like, now he goes, oh, no, no, that's not what I said. Please, dear sweet summer child,

what did you mean? I's going to bust down your door. Cocky Mother Blinkers. fading of the red, white, and blue? Cane, shall we deep dive grad level style on this? I mean, what else is there to be assumed? He's just a coward. He's a chicken. That's what he is.

Thank you. Welcome. That's a good chicken, by the way. Long John Silver's. What? So he's, his apology was one of those. I'm sorry you're offended. You just wrote, it's, the problem is

is that he wrote this. And I don't care if somebody wants to have ignorant, uneducated views, but have the balls to back them when you get called out on it, right? Like, it's like him saying, no, the earth, the sun revolves around the earth. And then when people go, wait a minute, dude, that's not even correct. I didn't say that. Oh my gosh. I'm the victim.

I'm falling off a cliff and I ain't time to grow wangs. I mean, that's his response right now. just go, yeah, I said it. What? That's all I got to do. What's good? He's such a, just a coward. Just an absolute coward. And, oh, don't forget, didn't he? Let me pull this up. He also went after people for insulting the transgenders, Kay.

He was all upset. He didn't like people insulting them transgenders. And he like went and then the same thing happened. He says something ignorant and then he tries to walk it back because as soon as as the fire gets a little hot. He just, he can't handle it. So I don't care if people have, they wonder, they can, I'm never going to listen to his music. So it's never going to personally offend me because I just don't, I don't like to, you know, if I'm going to hurt my brain cells, I'm going to do it with liquor. I'm not going to do it with crappy pop country. You know what I'm

saying? So he's, I mean, he's, he's, he's just got a history of being a jack wagon. And I mean, I just think he's a coward. And I don't know. I'm just not, I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. Lorraine said he did a cover of Tracy Chapman's fast car. And oh my gosh, he got lots of praise because he didn't change the lyrics

about that said, check out girl when talking about the singer. Oh my gosh. So stupid. The bar is so low, man. It's so low. All family pharmacy is a family-owned business dedicated to helping you get the medications

So it's a story that says America has become one of the world's least welcoming countries for tourists. And it's the end of, sorry, it's the telegraph, which is a left-leaning sewer. Yeah. And they said it's Donald

Trump's anti-tourism measures. Well, what do you mean anti-tourism measures? Because illegal immigration isn't the same thing as tourism. I mean, do we really have to have a discussion over this? Oh my gosh. let's see here apparently your brains have evolved to socialize but they max out at 150 friends mine max out over anything that I can count on like like I have everybody has like circles layers of circles right you have like one your main circle and then outside and then outside and outside and I think that's fine and important to have so but they said that the size of your social networks is limited even in the age of social media and that brains absolutely max out at 150 that makes sense right I think that makes sense.

Let's see here. Oh, Tropical Storm Jerry could form. And it could hit the Leeward Islands late this week. Why Jerry? Like, what a name, Jerry. Jerry. I don't know why I find that so funny. So be careful.

A man was arrested for trying to pull over cars with flashing blue lights. It's Pierce County deputies pulled this. They got this guy. This was in Washington. They arrested a man for impersonation of a police officer. He was driving around using the blue lights. And the deputy saw him, like, he got in trouble once, and he was warned he could be arrested for impersonation.

And then hours later, the same deputy saw this guy, you know, the same driver using the blue lights. And he was immediately arrested. So he got warned. He got warned. You know, you can't say he didn't, wasn't warned. Oh, let's see. The Rainbow Crosbuck in Miami was torn.

out by the Florida Department of Transportation. Is this the crosswalk where they tried to go after the kids riding the scooters because they said that the kids had... No, I think this is a different crosswalk. This one was actually built with bricks, colored bricks. Okay, okay. And they're tearing that up. So they, uh,

the Florida department dot, they decided that they were demolishing and repainting a rainbow crosswalk. They were going to stop the state so they're going to stop making crosswalks into political statements. It's supposed to be about pedestrian safety. And state Senator Carlos Smith bravely fought back. He tried to grab some sidewalk chalk and fill the colors back in. Yeah, I mean, legit is about supposed to be about safety. Now remember that you, you,

you can burn an American flag, but they arrest it. It was Spokane, Washington. They had electric scooters, and they left skid marks on a pride mural, and they were arrested in Spokane, Washington. You could burn a flag, but you can't drive a school. over a pride mural. It's just asinine. Absolutely. So I'm, and it's actually a very, it was very ugly. I saw the bricks.

It was a very ugly crosswalk. And if it doesn't look like a crosswalk, then wouldn't that be confusing for people who don't know if they can cross there or not? I mean, it just seems like a fair question to ask. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. This is a wild video.

So, and the question is, What do you say to the 40% of voters who voted for Trump? Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you need them to win part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the question as you haven't written, and I'll answer it. And we've also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40% of California voters to win? And you're saying, no, you don't. No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I can.

And what I'm saying to you is that... Well, to those voters. Okay, so you... I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you. You're not going to do the interview with us. Nope, not like this, I'm not.

Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask. Every other candidate has answered our problems. I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question, you're going to make up a follow-up question, then we're never going to get there. Ms. Porter. And we're just going to circle around. I am an investigative reporter.

I have never had to do this before, ever. You've never had to have a conversation with the interview. And an interview. Okay, but every other candidate has done this. What part of, I'm me, I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. So I am going to make... So you're not going to answer questions from reporters? Okay, why don't we go through?

I will continue to ask follow-up questions because that's my job as a journalist, but I will go through and ask these and if you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer. So nearly every legislative... I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you. And I don't want this all on camera. I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you. either. I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about. And redistricting, it's a massive

issue. We're going to do an entire story just... It looks kind of bad. It looks bad. Now, she's, if you know, she's running for governor in California, this Katie Porter lady. And that's who, that's who's in this video is Katie Porter talking to this reporter who is just trying to get her to answer a question. And Katie Porter has no interest in answering this question. She has no interest in talking about it. And I think it was a pretty legitimate question. It wasn't like a gotcha kind of thing. It was a very legitimate question, I thought that she asked. But apparently Katie Porter doesn't think so. She tried storming out of this CBS interview. And the, she said, I don't want all of this on camera.

Well, you should have probably thought that before. Did you know? No, hold up. I'm going to pull this story up. I don't know if you guys heard this story before. So this is a New York Post piece. Because it kind of shows that she sort of has a hot temper. She apparently was very abusive towards her husband, her ex-husband.

She would throw things at him all the time. She poured scalding hot mashed potatoes on his head during a fight. She was routinely, he wrote, and this was, he filed for divorce from her. This was in 2013. He got a, he requested a restraining order. She apparently was so nuts. He requested a restraining order. And she wouldn't allow him to have a cell phone.

She would claw her arm. She does seem nuts. I got to be honest with you. She seems like she is just crazy. right you know you know the type she seems nuts she apparently was taking issues with how he was making mashed potatoes for dinner one at one point and she screamed at him can't you read the blanking instructions and then she raised a quote ceramic bowl of hot potatoes and dumped it on my head burning my scout they went to court i mean he he he literally if you could if you have a restraining order on you

you're like a temporary prohibited possessor. So that's very interesting. She, though, in her first congressional campaign, she portrayed herself as a victim of domestic violence. I think she's talking about her husband, not her maybe. Wow. She says she seems like, you know, I just, only in California, can you abuse your husband and pour her hot food on his head, scalding his scalp and still be, like, in the running to be governor? Well, maybe in New York too. She seems to have anger issues. She acted like a psycho. She told the interview where she didn't need Trump voters. And then when the reporter asked her, okay, well, what do you mean? You don't need. She then started contradicting herself. I was reading the transcript just in case, you know, I thought I heard something incorrect. And the reporter was saying, what do you say to the 40% of voters who supported Trump? and she was like, oh, well, I don't need them to win. And then she's asked, well, you said that you don't need them to win.

And she was like, no, I'm saying that I'm going to try to win every vote. That's what I'm saying to you. And the reporter's like, what, you know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of Kane, that interview where that girl was interviewing that musician, Sukki. And she was like, what do you mean? I'm a musician. Like she thought she was saying a magician.

Oh my gosh. Girl, I don't think that's ghetto. I don't think. Like a new magic or something? Oh, my gosh. I can't even. So she just seemed completely. She seemed to completely came.

How do you say nuts? Yeah. Yeah. That's how you say it. She's in the running. She's like in the lead to be the next governor. She's the leading Democrat to replace Gavin Newsom as governor of California. That's all they got.

They don't have anybody else out there, all the nuts. And that's the one they pick. Yeah, lateral move there. I mean, is it lateral? Well, yeah, I mean, they're all bad. I don't want to sit here and try to like weigh it down. She's just, she's bad. Lorraine notes that she fired a staffer who she said gave her COVID. Oh my gosh. Is that bad as cut 11? Oh, is it as bad as cut 11? Probably not. Let's go ahead. Where's it? Yeah, play cut 11. So this is a flashback video of Katie Porter. Same woman. Listen. You know, this allegation of groomer and pedophile, it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity. So pedophilia is just an identity?

So wanting to prey upon children as a sex pervert, an adult sex pervert, that's just an identity. I thought that was a criminal action. Wow. Wow. So she hates kids, clearly. Wow. That's who's the lead Democrat for governor in California. What are you doing, California? What do you do in New York? Oh my gosh. This is crazy. And she apparently, like all of the staffers that work for her, hate her. Yeah, one of them, she went off on a staffer because she says the staffer gave her COVID. And she, she said, she said, she gave her COVID. And she, she, She had them fired. And she was just apparently horrible to everyone. And then if you criticize her, you're a sexist or a bigot somehow. I don't even understand how that works because she's like a heavy sat white woman.

So I don't get that. But yeah, that's, that's, how do we say nuts? That's nuts. Kane, that's nuts. It is. So, yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Really wild. That's the lead Democrat in California. So yeah, great for them. She just, she has a short temper. Her and Jay Jones would be a pair with it not. So you have her defending pedophilia and attacking her ex-husband and Jay Jones starting to shoot everyone and kill their kids. What a pair. But this is, do you see what I'm saying? This is this is where the left is going. This is how they are now. It's wild, but this is how they are.

This is what, just it's their new identity for the lack of a better way to put it. This party. 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, or wherever you get your podcast.
