Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Celtech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You know, I'm not a big fan of men wearing
flip flops if they're not at a pool or the beach.
It's just kind of my rule. I don't want to
see a lot of man toes. But this guy takes
it to a whole new level. Charles Gallagher a bank
robbery in flip flops, that's right, but he is cash
in a maserati.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
So.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Charles Gallagher is a six year old sixty six year
old destined resident was arrested for allegedly robbing a truest
bank using a note to demand cash. He should just
put his man toes up on the teller's counter. They
would have given him anything he wanted. AUF already's found
Gallagher's black twenty seventeen maserati with concealed identifiers, along with cash,
a surgical mask and glasses. It's probably one of those
(00:55):
people that believe.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
In mask mandates.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Gallagher, who has been experiencing financial difficulties, faces up to
fifteen years in prison if convicted of the robbery charges.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know if they let you wear flip flops
in prison. I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
They should, certainly for the showers, because probably discussing the floors.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Where's the beef?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Florida man was accused of stealing nearly six hundred dollars
of meat from publics in Fort Myers, Florida. Crime Stoppers
of Southwest Florida's asking for help locating a man accused
of stealing six hundred dollars of meat products.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
From the supermarket. That's a lot of beef. That's a
lot of meat.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But then again, in this economy, it's really not It's
like four hamburgers, a pack of hot dogs, and maybe
a rack of lamb. That's probably all he really took
if you think about it. And then there's this guy,
This Florida man is accused of pouring pepsi and cleaning
spray on women. He's been He's found himself behind bars
(01:46):
after he allegedly poured pepsi and the cleaning spray on
a woman.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I wonder which one is more chemicals in it? Just curious.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Antonio Acosta, forty seven years old, was arrested in charge
with felony battery after the incident that happened in Lake Pannofseki.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'm probably not saying that right.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
On July fifth, according to an arrest Affidavid from the
Sumter County Sheriff's Office, just after seven pm, deputies responded
to a home and met the female victim, who said
Acosta had poured pepsi and a cleaning agent on her.
This guy's still not as bad as CNN's Jim Acosta,
for the record, just saying. The woman added that they
(02:22):
got into a verbal altercation and as a result made
a bed on the floor with pillows and blankets. He
smashed a small table then poured the liquids on her.
Deputy said they found an empty pepsi bottle and empty
generic spray bottle with no label, with a very small
amount of pink liquid in the bottle. I don't know
exactly what the substance was. It might just have been
(02:42):
some sort of cleaning agent or something. But nevertheless, he
was released, and this will shock you, arrested two days
later for violating a no contact order. So he's currently
being held without bond according to online jail records.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So excellent.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And then a Florida woman was arrested after throwing a
single piece of paper at a parent.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
A single piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I don't know why, but just I don't know really
what one single piece of paper is going to do
as a road rage incident. Maybe she thought she was
going to give somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
A paper cut. I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But she was charged with burbery in a salt and
battery and it was in a parking lot, and she
came up behind her and she threw a piece of paper,
A single piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Oh and an empty backpack. All right, so there you go,
got that too.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Gold prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, 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 partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple,
(03:55):
and that company is gold Co. They're a huge supporter
of this show, and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five Golden Silver kit jam packed with critical information about
buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not just
for me, but to all of you. If you do
this and for my audience, you could also qualify for
up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
(04:16):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Mel Gibson, the actor who is now the head of
the President's Commission on Hollywood. It's like Matt mel Gibson
and Sylvester Stallone. Mel Gibson is barred from owning a firearm.
And this woman at the Department of Justice, her name
was Elizabeth Oyer Forimer Public Defender, was appointed as a
Justice Department's partner attorney in April of twenty twenty two
(04:48):
under Obama. Says she was fired last Friday because she
refused to sign off on a recommendation to restore mel
Gibson's gun rights.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
This is from Reason dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The movie star and director is supported to Donald Trump
in the twenty twenty four presidential election. Was designated as
one of the administration's three ambassadors to Hollywood. Along with
John Voyd and Sylvester Stallone. Now mel Gibson lost the
right to own firearms because of a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction.
(05:19):
Now that the part of an attorney who resigned presented the
episode as a conflict between public safety and political favoritism.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
New York Times framed the story of the exact same way.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But the incident also illustrates how difficult it is for
people who've lost their Second Amendment rights as a result
of criminal convictions, a category that includes theoretically the President
himself to regain those rights even when there are no
grounds to think they pose a threat to public safety.
So this was back in March of twenty eleven. You know,
Gibson planed no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge involving
(05:51):
his girlfriend, got thirty six months of probation, and the
deal allowed him to avoid jail time, But his plea
triggered an ancillary penalty under eighteen USC. Nine two to
two G nine, which makes it a felony for anyone
who has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor
crime of domestic violence to receive or possess a firearm.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
A lifetime ban.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Now those who advocate for this turn around and go, well,
that's because all these domestic abusers are going to go
out and get a firearm and kill their exes the
minute that they have the chance to do so.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There's no evidence to point to that. There's no evidence
to say mel Gibson or any of the other people
are dangerous. But if that's the case, there's lots of
ways to kill somebody. You don't just need a gun.
I mean, it's not like without guns nobody ever kills anybody.
People have lots of methods to kill somebody if they
really want to kill somebody, Not getting not being able
to legally purchase a firearm certainly not going to stop them,
(06:48):
because they could also wait for it illegally buy a
firearm in this country. As Supreme Court Justice Amy Cony
Barrett noted in an opinion she wrote as an appeal
court judge, the constitutionality of the latter prohibition is doubtful.
Barrett dissented from a twenty nineteen decision in which the
US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld
(07:09):
the application of that section to manufacture to a manufacturer
of therapeutic shoes and footwear inserts who had pleaded guilty
to mail fraud.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Mail fraud.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You can never have a gun again because you pled
guilty to mail fraud. History demonstrates that legislatures have the
power to prohibit dangerous people from possessing guns, she wrote,
But that power extends only to people who are dangerous. Now,
I don't know what it means to be a dangerous person.
(07:40):
I mean, theoretically, we're all dangerous, right, Theoretically anybody can
be dangerous, So you're probably talking about somebody who's imminently dangerous,
somebody you have to really worry about in the moment.
I mean, I could be dangerous five minutes from now
without those depends on my mood. But I'm obviously not
going to be a violent person. So then again, to
(08:00):
find dangerous, what do you mean by that? You know,
what do you mean by dangerous? The Supreme Court twenty
twenty two decision in the New York State Rifle and
Pistol Association v. Bruin added after that argument by clarifying
that gun control laws must be consistent with this nation's
historical tradition of firearm regulation. When they impinge on conduct
covered by the plaintext at the Second Amendment. Twenty twenty three,
(08:22):
the US Cirquarter of Appeals for the Third Circuit rule
that section nine two two G this is the one
that keeps Smell Gibson from having a gun, and millions
like him failed that test as applied to Brian Range,
a Pennsylvania man who pleaded guilty to food stamp fraud. Look,
I'm no fan of a food stamp fraud, but like,
(08:43):
come on, you're not gonna let the guy actually ever
have his Second Amendment rights back because of foodstamp fraud.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Based on simbler reasoning, the US Thirnquarter of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit last year overturned that section nine to
nine to two G conviction of Stephen Dwart, California man
who had lost his gun rights because of a non
violent criminal record without such judicial intervention. Though prohibited persons
like these have a little recourse, They theoretically can ask
the Attorney General to restore their Second Amendment rights. The
(09:13):
Attorney General has that discretion to do so, but it's
a whole big thing. It's a whole big to do,
and good luck with that and then that responsibility has
also been delegated to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives, which Congress has barred from considering such applications.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Alcohol tobacco owned firearms. I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
One of my favorite T shirts is ATF, alcohol, tobacco,
and firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
Although federal law provides a means for the relief of
firearms disabilities, ATF's annual appropriation since October of nineteen ninety
two has prohibited the expending of any funds to investigate
(09:55):
or act upon applications for relief from federal fire arms
disabilities submitted by individuals. As long as this provision is
included in current ATF appropriations, ATF cannot act upon applications
for relief from federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals. That's
a whole lot of mumbo jumbo. Translation is, you'res screwed
(10:20):
if the ATF cannot act on such applications. Can people
with disqualifying criminal records seek relief in federal court?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled in the two thousand
and two case United States v. Bean so what do
you do. You got nothing, You got nothing. You're just
screwed because you made a mistake, you did something wrong
for the rest of your life. So in this case,
this woman, this parton attorney, going back to this said
she was working. She was assigned to a working group
(10:49):
charged with identifying people who deserve to have their Second
Amendment rights restored despite criminal records that made it illegal
for them to own guns. It was an unusual assignment
for the office of the Partner Attorney, which typically handles
requests for clemency and recommends candidates for pardons or commutations.
And she didn't want to do it because she didn't
believe that anybody should get their gun rights back. Well,
(11:09):
why not, because lefties believe that if there's any possibility
they have of keeping you from ever being able to
own a gun, they should immediately seize it and take
it and be done with it, because now you're you're
one more person that they can keep unarmed in this
country legally, of course. So that doesn't surprise me in
the least. But Mel Gibson and many others like him
(11:31):
are not dangerous people. The article says, well, the loss
of that right might not me, matter might not matter
much to someone with armed, taxpayer funded protection like these
judges and these politicians and everybody else. The same can't
be set of ordinary people who are legally barred from
possessing firearms even though they have never done anything to
suggest they are inclined to violence.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And that is the problem with this situation.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's our friend over at super Beats, the super barene
product from the people who make the Superbeats heart shoes.
And there are other there beat brands out there, but
the only one that you know that I have no puts,
the experience, in the science and everything else behind it
(12:19):
is Superbats, which is why I prefer them over everybody else.
They have the heart shoes, but they also have this superberine,
which is a plant based supplement and it's formulated with
an ingredient that helps to support your metabolism and also
helps to support blood sugar levels. It is nearly three
times more effective than your diet and exercise alone. These
(12:40):
are real results, it's super convenient and they're clinically researched.
It's used by doctors from the makers of the Superbats
heart shoes, so they have them now at the Sam's club.
So if you go into Sam's Club, you can save
not only the superb Beats Hard Shoes, but you can
also save on the Superberine from Human. You'll love the
way it makes you feel.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
That wow, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So a UN judge and a one time Columbia University
Human Rights fellow has been found guilty of wait for it, slavery.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
United Nations judge convicted on Thursday of trafficking a young
woman to the United Kingdom and forcing her to work.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
As a slave.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
A Ugandan judge, Lydia Mugumbe, forty nine years old, found
guilty of human trafficking and slavery.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It just kind of don't hear that every day.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
A UCF fraternity allegedly hit their pledges with cars in
a hazing incident. Police say Sigma Kai at the University
of Central Florida. They were hitting their pledges with cars.
It just reminds me that's see an animal house. So
they go, they can't do that to our pledges. Yeah,
only we can do that to our pledges. Hazing's no joke.
Somebody broke a shoulder bolt or something like that, so
(13:57):
that house will probably get kicked off campus. I would
imagine Warren Buffett's latest move is sending an ominous warning
about the state of the housing market. We still are
at a time right now where there's just not enough
inventory in the market and people that want to buy
houses can't buy houses. But Warren Buffett is likely selling
his real estate empire. He has a big brokerage and
(14:18):
it is now being sold. Compass, the largest real estate
brokerage in the country, is in advanced talks to acquire
Berkshire Hathaway's Home Services of America. Compass is actually full
disclosion of My wife used to work for them. They're
very up and coming company. But the fact that Buffett
is getting out of a real estate business probably says
(14:39):
a lot more than you think. I know a lot
of people who were agents, my wife being one of them,
who just decided that they wanted to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So that's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And speaking of the housing market, if you were looking
to buy a house in New Jersey, it might be
a good time for you because they keep having all
these bottles of whiskey still washing up on the shore.
It sounds like, it's talked about this yesterday and it
happened to another story today, whiskey bottles believe to be
from the Prohibition era washing up on the Jersey. Sure,
this stuff's worth a ton of cash. By the way,
(15:10):
this is worth a lot of money. If you're lucky
enough to get your hands on this stuff, well, ay,
drink it, then refill it with iced tea, and then
try to sell it. I'm kidding, but no, this is
a lot of stuff. And the other question too, that
some people are wondering regarding all this is whether or
not there's going to be a situation.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Where in Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Kennedy's world will people start having soda being stored up
so they can come back and find a twenty twenty
five vintage bottle of Mountain dew Is that's going to
probably wind up becoming illegal if Robert I of Kennedy
Junior has his way. Well, I don't know if he
really will ban soda, but certainly a lot of people
are trying to stay away from drinking.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
All that stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And you know, the other thing too, is that there's
a new thing now with cloning of keyfobs, so high
tech car thieves are cloning keyfobs to steal newer vehicles.
In the old days, you used to get.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The club put on your steering wheels so that they
couldn't drive.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, those days are gone, and then they would try
to get your keys and copy them. Well, what's happening
right now is that people are going in, they're taking
those little keyfobs that you give, They're getting him copied
and then using them to steal cars. I know it's
very high tech, so just be careful about that. And
many times this often happens, believe it or not, when
you drop your car off at the valet.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And finally, if you're wondering about the new Superman trailer,
they're saying April first, it'll be.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Unveiled at Comic Con.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I personally am looking forward to that because well, not
only am I nerd, but my son and I bond
over superhero movies and I've been disappointed with everything Marvel's
put out in the last several years. So I've got
I'm hoping. I'm hoping nobody's ever going to top Christopher Reeve.
He was the goat. He was the greatest, he really
really was. But I got high hopes for this. Anyway,
(16:54):
The President is going to speak at three o'clock today
at the United States Apartment of Justice, joined with the
Attorney General and Pam Bondy. I don't know if the
President will address or they will address the recent swatting
incidents that have happened to conservatives across the country. I
opened the show with that today they will talk about
sanctuary cities, though, and I have a sense that the
big part of what they're going to talk about is
(17:16):
new ways to go after sanctuary cities.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So what is a sanctuary city in America?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
A sanctuary city, as you know, is when the local
law enforcement does not cooperate with the FEDS when it
comes to criminals in their jail. And so you're talking
about somebody who's in the system, somebody who's in jail,
somebody who's actually literally a criminal arrested.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And that's how ICE knows the person's there. Ice doesn't
have ESP.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
If the cops in Boston pick up somebody he's entered
into the system and that person is on a detainer list,
it gets flagged by ICE. ICE calls up the local jail,
the sheriff whoever, and says, hey, we want to come
pick this guy up and a sanctuary city. They hang
up the phone. Why would you do that? Why would
you want to keep bad guys and put them back
(18:04):
on your streets. I don't understand. Nobody understands that. I
think by implying sanctuary, you think of the old days
when you used to run into a church, you know,
get sanctuary or something like that. We're not talking about
people that are not bothering anybody, just going about their day,
mining their own business, or, as Representative Jasmine Crockett put it,
you know, picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms. Well that's
(18:28):
what she said. No, that's that's what Democrat Representative Jasmine
Crockett said. You don't believe me, Well, here's the audio
of that cut twenty six.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You are sending your kids to college to go and
work on it. Okay, well, guess who is working the
farms so that you can afford your food.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So that you can have food, so that you can
have food.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Now, how many of you are looking to send your
kids into hospitality after this college education so that they
can go and make the bands at the hotels. How
many of you are planning to send your is to college,
because that's what we do here.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
We sent everybody house. How many of you.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Are playing a senior here is the college, so that
they can then go and build these houses. So the
reality is that so long as we live in a
capitalist society, there's always going to be someone or a
group of people that will do work that someone of
resia don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
First of all, beyond the fact that's just racist in
general and stereotypical, it's also so insulting to working class
people in this country who actually do build houses. There's
a lot of them that build houses, and there's a
lot of working class people in this country that, yes,
clean hotel rooms.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I have news for you.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But if you live in say the state of Hawaii,
all right, one of the most expensive states to live
in the country, if not the most expensive, you work
at a resort. That's their primary industry in Hawaii is tourism.
So yeah, the people that clean rooms in Hawaii are
citizens the United States of America who happen to live
(20:02):
in and probably can't afford anymore to live in that state,
but that's where they work.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They work in that industry. But leaving all that aside,
it shows you.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
How also out of touch to the left is where
they talk about how many all send your kids to college? First, well,
she doesn't actually talk like that, that's not her real accent.
She puts on a fake accent, Jasmine Crockett to sound
real in the streets or whatever. But how many y'all
send your kids to cout You see, it's that elitism again.
You're sending your kids to college so they don't have
to do anything with their hands pick crops, you know,
(20:33):
they're called people at pit crops are called farmers. They're
called farmers. And there's a lot of people in this
country who are farmers, work on farms. Believe it or not,
they're American citizens. So there's that aspect of being completely
out of touch with this. But the other point of this,
too is sanctuary cities are not about protecting people who
are picking crops, including hotel rooms. It's about protecting people
(20:55):
who are in jail, because that's how Ice knows that
they're there. And so these sanctuary cities are providing cover.
And we shouldn't even really call them sanctuary cities. It's
a bad term. It's a bad I.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Don't like it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I think we should call them cities that are aiding
and a betting fugitives of justice, because that's what that's
what happens. Look, if a guy's wanted by the Feds
and he comes to your house and you and you
give him safe harbor, and then the Fed's knock on
your door, call you and say, hey, by any chance,
do you have whoever it is there? You know, let's
just say say do you do you? Do you have
Fred there? We have a warrant for Fred. And you
(21:27):
say no, or you hang up the phone, or you
refuse to cooperate, or you tell Fred how to sneak
out of the house and go back, and you've now
aided and a bet at a fugitive. Can you explain
to me how it's any different on the sanctuary quote
unquote sanctuary city level. I understand that under our system
of federalism, the state does not have to do the
federal law enforcement function and the Feds don't have to
do state law enforcement function. But at the same time,
(21:49):
to give save harbor to a criminal who's wanted by
the Feds, that's against the law. You can't do that.
We can't do that. So how come the city of
Boston or Philadelphia or or Denver or wherever. How come
they're allowed to do that and get away with it.
I understand if they don't want to have their local
cops deal with giving that person over to ICE.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I understand that.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
But if I says, hey, we want this person, we're
gonna come pick them up, even if even if they say, okay,
well we'll release them tom our at one pm, and
then ICE shows up and they're waiting outside the courthouse
at one pm or the jail cell wherever it is. Yeah,
that's that's understandable. That's what you would do. But in
this case, now they just hang up the phone. They
don't cooperate, So that's giving you. You're aiding at a
(22:33):
betting a fugitive of justice. So yeah, they need to
go after these sanctuary cities. It's it's insane to be
that they do this, and the people that live in
the cities. Guess what, they don't want these sanctuary cities.
They don't want this. They want these criminals off their streets.
They want the criminals off their streets. Thanks for tuning
