Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
So ah, I'm not saying this. A teaching assistant charged
after allegedly using a fecal spray at a high school.
They're claiming damages to the AC system. So it's like, uh, yeah,
they he had this spray. He was a teaching assistant

(00:37):
who was arrested. He used this who spray to create
a foul odor out of South Carolina High School. Thirty
two year old teaching assistant allegedly sprayed to imitate fecal
matter while at school multiple times. He acquired it online.
People apparently had to seek medical attention and had respiratory issues,
and then they had to spend fifty five thousand dollars

(00:58):
to inspect it their it's AC and look at damages.
So he's charged with disturbing schools and malicious property. Okay,
here's the big thing. Why why did he do it?
I need to know this because I I've seen like
videos on Instagram where they spray them into this like

(01:20):
inflatable costumes and then you know, everybody laughs. Yeah, So
they said that they're still investigating the situation, but it's
been two days, so you can't come on why they
said it like really disrupted none of the articles I'm
seeing there. He just I guess was he doing it
to be a jerk. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
When I was a kid, we used to play with
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's just did you send anyone to the hospital. A
Florida man shot a bear that was a lot of
bear stories hiding in his shower. It was an actual
bear animal. A Central Florida man came to face to
face with a home intruder, but it was a bear
in his shower. I was hiding in his shower and
he literally said that he thought there was an intruder

(02:00):
in his bathroom. He was panicking, he's bar his dogs
were barking. The bear ran into the bathroom and I
got into the shower and was literally hiding there, and
he thought it took him a second to figure out
what was happening, but he shot the bear, and unfortunately
the bear did not make it. Flida Fish and Wildlife,
they said, be vigilant, don't leave food out, et cetera,

(02:20):
et cetera. But I mean the bear was in his shower,
went into his house and hit his shower. This is
not like a case of camping. He was again the
nice one. But I was thinking about all of this
in context with the pressure that foreign money plays into

(02:42):
all of these colleges and universities across the country. Did
you know that the biggest funder two American universities is Cutter?
Billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars they
have given. And it's interesting because if you look at
where all the money in which I'm looking at now,

(03:04):
if you look at where all they give their money,
it's very interesting that that's we're all like. For instance,
you know the protests where they were going after all
the Jewish students. It's kind of interesting that those were
the universities where they got the most money from Cutter.
I'm just saying it just could be kan I'm sure
a total coincidence. It's and there are a lot of

(03:24):
things that have been written about this, and it's not
just Cutter, China is as well. But Cutter is the
biggest donor of two American universities. And so allow that
to kind of sit in your head for a little
bit when you are wondering why is it that all
of this stuff, like with the anti Semitic protests, where
they actually were targeting people for being Jewish, they weren't like, well,

(03:46):
we disagree with the Israeli government. They can't even tell
you how it's structured. They just were mad because of Tajews.
That's it. But think about how that really got kicked
off and why it seems like it was xp did
to this point. And then look at all the money
that these these companies or these countries have been pouring
in China and Cutter, they've poorn just over the past

(04:08):
few years, it's been like twenty nine billion. Twenty nine
billion dollars. Foreign donors have given as much to American
universities just like in the last handful of years as
they did in the last Like in the last four years,
they've given as much as they did in the last

(04:28):
four decades. So take four decades and condense it down
into four years. There is an absolute, I mean, an
explosion of foreign money on campus is Cutter is the
largest source, and all of these donations to these campuses,

(04:50):
all of this started to get reported like a nine
in the eighties. They have given over six billion, China
two point three billion. The Saudias are like way below.
But I mean Cutter is the largest source of all
of this foreign money to these campuses. Now the second

(05:12):
largest source of foreign funding is China. So I told
you that Cutter six point three billion in counting, China
is five point six billion in counting. And just like
you saw it with Cutter, the donations from China have
exploded over the past several years. And again the universities

(05:40):
where you saw all of the upheaval where you could
even have TPUSA go on campus, hardly the Harvard's, the Colombia's,
Oh guess who those are the ones that get the
most money from China and Cutter. In fact, every single
one of these universities where you that you have seen
in the headlines where the students are like rioting or
they're they're protesting to the extent where it's not safe

(06:02):
for conservative speakers to even leave the campus and they
have to hide in janitorial closets. Those are all the
campuses that have received tons. Those are all the universities
that have tons of Qatari and Chinese money. Oh, it's
a fact. The receipts are out. Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard,

(06:24):
lots of them. Why because it's soft power. It's a
it's a it's to build soft power. This they're expanding
their influence. If you don't think it's a that sec issue,
I'll remind you every single revolution started in academia. You

(06:45):
could even argue French Revolution start in academia. The Color
Revolution in China started in academia, Russia, academia Germany in
the thirties, academia, college campuses every single time, because you

(07:06):
have minds that are easily influenced, and there is a
huge effort to continue that trend here in the United States.
That's why you've been seeing an increase in all of
this stuff on college campuses, because there are absolutely outside
sources that are funding it. They like the division, they

(07:29):
like the hostility spreading on college campuses, and just like
in every other nation where this has happened, it goes
from there. So now it becomes a national security issue.
I had someone say, well, it really isn't Tell that
to China because their communist revolutions started in their campuses

(07:51):
and took over their entire country and outlook, tell that
to nineteen thirties Germany tell it to show with the Bolsheviks,
I mean, dare I go on? It's without exception. So
these this influence is I mean, and the Kataris they

(08:18):
they're all ramping up their donations. We're going to talk
a little bit about this to Steve and Yates as well.
But it's interesting to note the Free Pros had a
piece where Harvard didn't comply with seven Section one hundred
and seventeen of the Higher Education Act. They were trying
to not disclose all of this foreign financial funding that
seems sketch to the point where it wasn't just like

(08:38):
an an over It wasn't just like a you know,
someone just forgot accidentally. It wasn't just mirror oversight. It
was purposeful and that this is one of the things
that the administration is doing. They are looking at these
connections between foreign money and the increasing violence and et

(09:02):
cetera that's happening on college campuses. It's not just the
sour stuff, it's these foreign companies, these foreign countries that
would like to sew division. It's very sun Zoo. If
you can sew division within your opponent, you don't even
need to do anything, because your opponent will divide in
have and fight itself. That's exactly the design. It's a

(09:24):
soft power move, and that's why it's a national security issue.
I don't even know why. I mean, and this is
just me just speculating, but why are these universities allowed
to accept money from foreign governments? Why it's not like
Harvard needs that their endowment is like is billions of dollars.

(09:46):
Why are they accepting or allowed to accept money from
foreign governments. I'm not even talking about, Oh, here's a
charitable group in United Arab Emirates, We're going to donate. No, no, no,
it's like literally the Guitari government. Why are university is
allowed to accept money from foreign governments and you know

(10:11):
that they come with strings attached? This is a giant question.
And then Berkeley, for instance, remember Berkeley where you had
all of those riots and protests and all this stuff breakout. Cain,
if you had to guess how much money they had
that they got recently with a partnership with the communist

(10:33):
Chinese government literally from China's China's government, how much would
you make guess?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I would say one hundred million or more.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Double it seriously double and then go up a little bit.
Yeah lord, yeah, yeah, here's the funny thing. Berkeley refused
to report it the Daily Beast. Actually, I can't even
believe I'm citing the Daily Base. This is what the
world's come to. They had their headline this from May

(11:01):
of twenty three. Berkeley's two hundred and twenty million dollar
mistake exposed in a massive deal with China. So they
were trying to get ahead of it and frame it
as a mistake. But the people that were investigating the
failure to disclose, they didn't really think it was a
mistake because they found other purposeful, questionably purposeful omissions. Interesting. Yes,

(11:26):
so there's a lot of questions to be asked here,
and all of this comes together. I was thinking about
all of this over this weekend, especially now that people
are talking about approaching campus debates and campus events differently
in light of security. That I think that right there

(11:50):
is the front line. Those college campuses are the front line.
And I'm just you know, I'm curious. I'd be curious
to look at money going into that Utah Utah Valley College.
Go and look and see all of these universities where
the students have gotten more and more agitated and progressive,

(12:13):
and it completely corresponds with the massive amount of donations
that they get from foreign governments. I'm just saying there
is enough there to not only beg the question, but
pose a legitimate one, not even assuming the premise is true.
Now you can actually question whether or not it is.
It's not even begging the question anymore. It's a legit question.

(12:36):
This administration is going to have to get around this.
It's our friends over at All Family Pharmacy. It's a
great website to use if you want to get your

Speaker 2 (13:45):
All of the news you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
A bear has attacked a ninety year old woman in
what in the well. It did it in a grocery
store as well, which is kind of insane. Well Dollar
General store, a ninety year old woman. A black bear
tore through this was a new jersey and went on
a rampage. They had to euthanize it after I attacked,
and I thought, you never know when you hear bear

(14:11):
now and rainbowst I just never know anymore. But they
some of it was caught on video. I just she
had scratches on her legs, like, thankfully she wasn't mauled.
The bear looks crazy. I gotta say, bear looks crazy.
They said that they had a sixty five year old
that was recording everything that was happening. And apparently you
can hear another man say, get the blank away from me.

(14:33):
Of course it's a new Jersey. I just love that
they he's going to cuss it the bear and make
the bear go away. You know, it's like democrats. I
think you're going to cust some Maye people grew through policies. Anyway,
everybody's okay, thankfully, but or while she was injured, but
nobody else but they euthanized the bear. Okay. So a
disabled man this is an insane story. This is horrifying. Actually,

(14:56):
a disabled man ended up self driving robot delivery cart
cut off, cut him off in traffic and reversed into him.
He was on a mobility scooter, so it was a
food delivery robot and apparently there's video that captured it.
The man, who has cerebral palsy was on his way
home from a procedure and a serve robotics cart crashed

(15:19):
into his mobility scooter that he uses for long distances.
It's like all over Instagram and it literally cut. It
did it was almost like it was doing it, like
it was a jerk. It looked on purpose. I'm sorry,
this looked on purpose, he screamed, as he was trying
to zigzag on the sidewalk to avoid the robot's jolting impact.
But it literally like cut in front of him and

(15:41):
then slammed on its brakes like I watched this, dude.
I'm sorry, this robot tried to kill him. This robot
legit tried to kill this guy. Don't tell me that
they don't do that, because one of them committed suicide.
One of the robots did. Remember I was in Washington
where this little security robot was like I'm done with
life and rolled itself into a fountain. I'm not that
actually happened. Totally happened. Oh, I don't know. Americans have

(16:05):
had They have so much car debt apparently could start
a two thousand and eight like recession, although I think
we're already there. If I'm being honest, what do you
mean start the soaring cost of cars and insurance? A
lot of people are pushed to the financial brink and
now drivers apparently a one point six trillion in car loans.
It's a bigger burden than federal student loan debt or
credit cards. It's at twenty percent since twenty twenty. And

(16:28):
the squeeze is showing up in a lot of miscar payments, delinquencies, defaults, repossessions,
things like that. So it's pretty pretty wild. But we're
already there. Let's see. And apparently oh DFW had and
that's an old one. That's because it's not really in
practice anymore, but there have been. There was a cyber
attack on European airports. He throw. He throw operates like

(16:50):
there's a cyber attack on it anyway every given day.
I mean, I've never been to a crazier airport in
my life. But apparently they had a lot of problems
all over the weekend can all over Europe as well.
The Dublin airport was evacuated because of safety concerns the
check in and boarding. Of course, you know, you imagine
Irish people not being able to go go in and
get on their planes might get fighty. As we move,

(17:12):
our partners who help bring you the program Caltech the

ever wanted a nice concealable five seven, here it is.
It's from Keltech k E L T e C Weapons
dot Com. Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to
the program, Dana lash with You're at the bottom of
the second hour. The story of Tom Homan. We were

(17:58):
talking a little bit about this earlier. I immediately was
just like, don't know if I believe this. Why and
the stories he was accused of being involved in some
kind of in a sting. They got him accepting fifty
thousand dollars in cash to get some government contracts, basically

(18:19):
to produce some government contracts. That's kind of that's what
the accusation is, and it sounds stupid. Here's why it
sounds stupid. You're Tom Hooman. You are You know you're
gonna have a significant role in the president's administration. Correct,
you know you're gonna have a sizable role in the

(18:41):
next admin. Why would you accept a bribe? And yes,
this is a lot of money to us, but not
to DC and people who play in that pit. You're
gonna take fifty thousand dollars in cash and wreck your
whole professional life and your chances coming up in the

(19:04):
next admin for fifty thousand dollars in cash that you
can't even live for a year off of. Seriously, I
mean you could, but I'm sure he's got you know
what I mean. That's not a lot to wreck your
whole life and your whole body of work and your
whole reputation and to sell out. That's number one. Number two,
you're Tom Homan. You're not stupid enough to accept cash

(19:27):
just in your hands from people. That's not how this
is done. How the hell do people think this is done?
My gosh, come on, sometimes the media is very very stupid.
If you're gonna all I'm saying is if I'm gonna
take a bribe, I'm gonna do bitcoin. I'm doing crypto
at the very least, I'm gonna have somebody. Oh well, look,
I just got this hotel room to stay the night,

(19:47):
and there's this cash under the bed that I had
no idea was pre arranged to be left here. That's
what I'm doing, you know what I'm saying. I'm not
gonna be like, yeah, I would like to take the
fifty thousand dollars in my hands now, thank you. You know, no,
this is so stupid. Yes, here's your receipt. Put bribe
in the memo. Nobody, that's not how this is done.

(20:12):
And it's Tom Homan again. I think that everybody's got
a currency and that's not one of his. Now. The
White House just addressed it through their spokesperson, if we
can get this ready, They just addressed it and pretty
much said the same thing, although more in a more
curt fashion. Listen, sure, thanks callen, So.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Two of the women investigation, I mean, can you just
speak too to the President and das the Justice Department
to close the case, and does Holman have to return
the fifty thousand dollars. Well, mister Homan never took the
fifty thousand dollars that you're referring to, so you should
get your facts straight. Number one. Number two, This was
another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of

(20:55):
Justice against one of President Trump's strongest and most vocal supporters.
In the midst of a presidential campaign, you had FBI
agents going undercover to try and and trap one of
the President's top allies and supporter, someone who they knew
very well would be taking a government position months later.
Mister Homan did absolutely nothing wrong, and even the President's

(21:18):
Department of Justice, even cash Pttel's FBI looked into this,
just to make sure. They had a number of different
prosecutors and FBI agents who looked into this. They found
zero evidence of a legal activity or criminal wrongdoing in
the White House. And the President stand by Tom Homan
one hundred percent because he did absolutely nothing wrong and
he is a brave public servant who has done a

(21:40):
phenomenal job in helping the President shut down the border.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, and there you go, So it's a bunk. So
can we stop with this dumb story He didn't do it.
I mean, you're relying on people who have lied to
you repeatedly, and they're like, no, no, no, this time
we're true, This time is true. Swearzees. It just doesn't
make sense. I was reading my friend Nady McCarthy and

(22:06):
he was talking about his incredulity with regards to this,
you know, like meeting covertly recorded on video, fifty thousand
in cash, you know, all of this stuff. That's what
they're But they've you know, they the report they said
was the Justice Department apparently assessed it and was like,
there's no there there, what are you guys talking about?

(22:27):
It originated under the previous admin. Okay, so the Biden
administration started it. Now he does have the caveat that
it actually began. Where is this you pull this up?
Because he had a great piece. It actually began were
FBI was. It started in Texas. A suspect the FBI

(22:48):
was investigating in Texas was overheard claiming that Homan was
soliciting payments, et cetera, et cetera. And Andy was saying that, well,
what's reported sounds bad, but you know it, it can't
just be the FBI. It's you know, it started in Texas. Well,
it can't just be that. It absolutely can't. They're still
running that up in Texas. You see what I'm saying.

(23:10):
So that doesn't that that doesn't make any sense. And
the Trump administration, as I said, Assessin was like there's
no there there. He was like in the private sector. Again,
you have to remember this originated. The investigation originated under
the Biden administration, and it began when Tom Holman and came.

(23:35):
Remind everybody, when did Tomhoman actually take his position in
the administration. It wasn't during the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Wasn't until after Trump was inaugurated.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Can I ask you a question, what is the point
of bribing someone? Just play this out for a second, all.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Right, to gain special favor because they have a position
that could be advantageous to what you want.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Okay, but that last part, they have a position that
could be advantageous to what you want. At that point
in time, when this investigation under the Biden administration began,
did Tom Homan have that position? He didn't, So why
the hell would you be bribing someone who was in
no position to deliver.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
It's almost like it was a setup.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wait, no way, you mean to tell me that the
same FBI that had some wayward agents that literally were
able to get a wiretap on a private citizen over
his politics because they went around the proper operating procedure
with a FISA court, that that same entity that worked

(24:42):
in collusion with all of them, that we can't trust
them on this wha much shock, So surprised. I can't
believe it, guys. So I just think, if I'm going
to bribe somebody, I'm going to make sure that they

(25:03):
are worthy of being bribed. If you can't, if you're
not even in the position to do anything for me,
why am I going to bribe?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
This is stupid, but it is the Biden administration, King,
And think about it.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's all that they couldn't run on any sort of
accomplishments that Biden had over the four years. So their
only thing, and by the way, the only thing for
the longest time that I can remember, is just media smears.
That's literally all it is.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, So I don't know. Congress may determine that they
would look into it or not. I don't know, but
I would imagine that when it is. I mean, Homan
did get an admin job where they did not. He
did not have to go through the Senate confirmation process
instead of just an outright nominating nominating him for a

(25:47):
cabinet post. I don't the only and that just might
be timing. I don't know. It's it also might be
a way for him to just, you know, try to
people out the different positions in different apartments with people
that had his back. I mean, it could be a
number of things. But the Left is saying, well, you know,
he didn't have that centeconfirmation process, so that's evidence of

(26:08):
what of not having a center confirmation process? Yeah, you're correct,
he was appointed to this Edmund job. Is it confirmation
that he was involved in a bribery scheme? No, it wasn't.
That's I really wish that they would look at the
crimes that exist instead of making up things that don't exist.
