Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good Heavens. Okay, so this uh Florida. Let's start with
this one a Florida. Actually, i' gonna do this one.
The Florida man who tried to swim back to the
US from Canada. There's some that I got a couple
(00:35):
that are a little inappropriate. So'm I thought I was
gonna get real brave this Florida man disarrated. Florida man
under the influence tried to swim back US from CBS News,
tried to swim back across the Detroit River from Canada.
On this was just yester or yeah, yesterday the crew
(00:57):
was notified please fight about a person swimming across the river.
They had to send out a boat search for him.
They did get him. They pulled him up on the boat.
They threw him a life ring. He was an American
citizen from Florida trying to get back into the US.
He seemed disoriented and under the influence. He didn't have
any physical injuries, so he was taking a shore of
(01:17):
transfer to an EMS unit. I've never heard of that
kind of I'm sure they happened, but that that's a
new kind of crossing. There's definitely new kind of This
one was from yesterday that I didn't get to. A
Florida man stumbled upon an suv on top of a dumpster.
I don't even know how that happens, but that's what happened.
We had this yesterday and I didn't have time to
(01:38):
get to it. A Florida man named Scott Greenberg stumbled
upon an suv resting like almost perfectly. One of the
back wheels was off of the dump like on top
of a dumps like the dumpster top was closed, and
this suv was on the top and I'm looking at
it was parked at a construction site, and it didn't
look like there was like a bridge or anything where
(01:59):
it could have driven off. I have no idea how
this I have. Okay, well, he was at a construction site.
They said the suv was literally on top of the dumpster.
Now they used a forklift apparently to put it up there,
but they didn't tell anybody for the longest time, and everyone,
I mean like for a whole day. People were trying
to figure out how this happened. But that's you know,
(02:22):
they got it on video. It's on video. But it
was on top of the dumpster and they used a
fork They used a forklift. Can do that? Like, it
had to be a pretty big forklift then right forklift operating.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I guarantee you he was probably parked somewhere where the
where it was in the way of construction, and so
these guys are like, Eh, I'm gonna show this guy good.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
This is from a website called motor Biscuit. This story
this Florida man. He imagine that you're on the beach
and you come across a deserted car, just parked, and
it's a sunset, beautiful out, but there's you know, you
can't really take in the view because you're distracted by
this mysterious knocking coming from the trunk of the car.
(03:06):
This was in Monroe County, Florida. As it turned out,
this Lincoln Continental it parked a beach in the Florida Keys.
This dude brought his drugs to the beach, presumably to
do them, and then somehow locked his own self into
his own trunk. Thirty two year old Rob Moore he
(03:27):
when the Sheriff's office showed up. They were telling the person.
They were telling people get out of the car, and
he literally couldn't because he was locked in his own trunk.
And he said that he was hunting for his lost
keys when he somehow managed to fall inside of the trunk,
which closed and then locked him inside, so his keys
were still missing. He was just going to go to
the beach and smoke some weed apparently, you know Florida man.
(03:49):
And he got a citation for possessing drugs and paraphernalia
at they Motorbiscuit says if the car had been three
years newer, that would have had an emergency trunk release.
It was a ninety seven Lincoln Continental the two thousand
and up started having because that was my first thought, like,
how was there no emergency trunk release? Also, could you
just kick out the backseat? I mean I don't know.
(04:12):
So just wow, that lost his keys. How do you
look for your keys so hard in your trunk that
you fall in it and then it closes behind you?
And Luckshu went there, but yeah, but he only had
like pot on him. Apparently, can you get so high
that that happens? They're partners over at Keltech the P fifteen.
This is the smallest, lightest, thinnest double stat nine millimeter
(04:34):
out on the market, and it literally is the ween
siest nine milimeter that I have. I don't lose stopping power,
but I get I gain ultra concealability with US. Comes
in two versions, right P fifteen. You have the metal
frame version and the polymer I almost said polyester, which
would have been horrible. And the polymer version Striker fire
pistol metal frame has that wood panel. They got textra grips,
(04:56):
true classic look and fit feel. And it comes to
two magazines either one you get the standard fifteen round
magazine minimal pinky extension and you get a flush fit
double stack maggot holds twelve rounds treatium fiber optic front,
sight fully adjustable fiber optic re rear. It's just super
concealable and ladies, we carry differently than the dudes do. Dudes,
your women carry differently than y'all do. This is a
(05:16):
great concealability and just great firepower, great dependability, and it's
made by you know, the people who invented the microcompact pistol.
Category innovation performance in celtech. Learn more about the P
fifteen at keltech weapons dot com k E L T
e C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dane to send
you this. Do we have this audio? This is the
(05:40):
California mayor or No, sorry, South Portland mayor, Misha Pride.
They were listening to residents and they ended up. It's
funny because the main Democrat leader didn't want to lower
property taxes and then she got hit with two properties
tax lines. But this, this South Portland mayor told seniors
(06:05):
that they needed to take out a reverse mortgage to
avoid the city's sharp increase in property taxes. Is that unbelievable?
We have this, by the way, I thought we did.
But they it was the residents were saying, well, our
taxes are going up. It's making it more difficult to afford,
(06:26):
you know, basic daily things. And their response was, we'll
just take out one of those reverse mortgages that Tom
Sellick tells you about all the time, those commercials. They
that's what they well they didn't say it like that,
Oh my gosh, No, they did say that, but they
did say take out a reverse mortgage. Yeah, we to
avoid the property taxes. Go ahead and uh, just take
(06:47):
out a reverse mortgage. On your house. Listen, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm really sad, and you know, my taxes are going
up to and have every year for the last five years,
seeing as our property that are so high. Seniors name
want to consider averse mortgage. It's I know it's an
ugly word, but there are I'm just saying, if I know,
it's horrible, but it's sort of a last resort.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Aren't they aren't they often don't they have like a
predatory nature of the reverse mortgages? Isn't that historically? How Wow,
that's crazy. What about I don't know, giving people like
an abatement or not having property taxes which are communists
and makes it to where people can't ever really own
their own property. Can you imagine like you could have
(07:37):
your property taken over if you're behind your property taxes
a few thousand dollars, like a fraction of what your
property is actually worth. And I can just rob you.
It's ridiculous. It's it's it is. I mean, at least
you know, at least crime organizations are honest about what
they're doing, or lower taxes. I think, just get rid
of property taxes, Just get rid of them. There are
(07:57):
better ways to go and fund emergency service and municipal issues,
way better ways than stupid communist property taxes that drive
everybody out. It's just it's asinine. It's like one of
the things in Texas that we fight is property tax Like, yeah,
we don't have a state income tax, and I think that,
you know, we still make out way better than states
(08:18):
that do have income taxes, but the property taxes can
be ridiculous, and that's that's, you know, one of the
things you got to consider. But to take out a
reverse mortgage or just stop wasting everyone's it's it's frustrating
why I don't want to have to pay for services
that I don't use. Do you ever find yourself like
give people their tax money and let them send their
(08:39):
kids to whatever the schools they want. I don't believe
in the public funding of schools. I absolutely do not.
I think that you should empower parents and stop stealing
their money and let the parents pay for their kids' education.
Because buy a large public school funded, I mean they
pay more per pupil and a number of states than
you would on like decent, like actually good private school education.
I think where were we we were in Ohio, I think,
(09:02):
and they were spending I can't remember. I can't remember
the cost. It was something like eight I can't remember
per student. It was what they were paying was almost
I mean one and a half times per pupil, one
and a half times greater than what we were paying
per child for our private school tuition. And that was
(09:25):
public school funding per pupil in Ohio. I was floored.
And it's like that in so many states, like in Texas.
It's like that in so many states. And then when
you compare the results, I think that you make schools compete.
I don't know why people are so terrified of that.
And I realized that there were organizations involved that exclusively
(09:46):
donate to Democrats, and so they have a quid pro
quo arrangement here. But no, I don't believe in the
public funding of education. I don't. I think that let parents,
because parents are going to know what's best for their
let them keep it their money and they can get
even better education for their kids. It doesn't have to
be that's lazy, and it's so noncommittal. It's like the
(10:07):
least you can do publicly subsidizing something like that, where Oh,
I'm not even gonna look at I'm just gonna throw
money about it and pretend to care and then turn
to blind eye. That's just so lazy. That's so lazy.
That's not stewardship of your fellow man. That's not civic
pride or responsibility. That's lazy Marxism, I mean, which was
what Karl Marx was. And let's not have you forget that.
(10:29):
The only positive contribution that Karl Marx made to this
world was his bloated, just obscene, chonky carcass feeding the
worms in the ground. That is the only positive contribution
that Karl Marx ever made to the world. He fed
(10:50):
some worms with his own fat rolls after he kicked
the bucket. There you go, chonky, smelly, dirty, lazy Carl Marx. No.
I never worked in his life, and he grifted off
all of his friends. It's our friends over at Hillsdale College.
Hillsdale founded in eighteen forty four to offer the kind
of education required to preserve liberty and the folks at
(11:12):
Hillsdale it's in southern Michigan, small classical liberal arts college,
Christian and they were founded for that purpose. It's been

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So this is sad news. Brett far for FARV say it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's just Brett far Far Yeah, spread far bread.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Fire far still sounds weird. But he made a shock announcement.
He's battling Parkinson's disease fifty four years old. He just
like recently released just recently revealed this. Uh, and he's
been speaking out I speaking out about it. That's a
wild so goodness. The California governor signed a law a
(12:59):
banning all plas shopping bags at grocery stores. This is
Gavin Newsom. I mean, you've got needles and feces everywhere,
high taxes, you're in the red. Best I can do
is span plastic bags. You know, just take a pawn
chop style. Best I can do ban plastic bags. That's
all I can do. No, it's not even a choice. Now,
this is why I would Actually, I don't know. I
feel this is so shoppers have to purchase bags that
(13:21):
are made with thicker plastic that makes them reusable. I
actually always reuse my plastic bags.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
No, what are we gonna put in those little tiny
trash cans in the bed.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They're perfect for the little tiny bathroom trash. What are
we gonna do? Okay, that's so dumb, gosh, so dumb.
A North Carolina man stole a cable company truck with
the worker in the bucket. Oh my gosh, that had
to be terrifying. So this guy, uh, he just literally
stole the whole dang truck WSOCTV. It was Caldwell County
(13:52):
and the guy they were repairing a line and the
worker thankfully was attached to a safety harness, but because
he actually came out of the bucket at one point
and that he was able to free himself and remove himself,
but he did hurt his leg in the process. The
guy that they caught, the suspect who stole the truck,
a guy named Frank Moody. Sounds like a always sending
(14:16):
a Philadelphia character. He was taking it and he looks
like an away sunny Incent Philadelphia character. He was taken
into custody. Wow, just crazy, still in the bucket, that's terrifying.
A vandals rampage at a main car dealership costs thousands
of dollars of damage to seventy five vehicles. This sounds
like a Tulsa King episode. A main man damaged seventy
five vehicles on an automobile dealership, smashing windows, denting the
(14:38):
hoods before he was arrested. Twenty five years old, ninety
thousand dollars in damage to seventy five vehicles. That's crazy.
Human cases of a raccoon parasite what this is apparently
a new thing. It's a rare infection. Two people in
LA were infected with a raccoon parasite that causes some
(15:01):
frequently fatal infections of the iciers and organs and central
nervous system, and people have If you survive it, you
still have neurological impairments. It's a there's a parasitic roundworm
that I can't pronounce. It's plus there's some that's the name.
But it's in raccoon feces and humans get infected if
they eat dirt or other material that is contaminated with
(15:22):
that feces. They're rare infections.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
But La says, oh, well, you know, because a large
number of raccoons live near people, the infection rate is
likely higher. So that's why you'll pet The trash fan
is yeah, they're not. I mean, yes, they look like
adorable little burglars. And yes, you might feel like you're
snow white. And you can talk to one, talk one
into becoming your pet. It's not gonna happen. They're going
to scratch your eyes out and then poot by you
and you're gonna get like a round worm and die.
(15:47):
I just so, just don't do it. Your eyes will
fall out and you'll rot. I just stop, Just don't
do it. And mortgage rates and home sales are down
as buyers are waiting for the right moment, which is
never going to happen if the country goes the way
of Democrats in November. In addition to all of that,
where's my other? Oh boy, you're gonna love this story.
Pentagon is going to spend five hundred million dollars on
women's health research. Why do we need to spend half
(16:09):
a billion dollars? Jill Biden announced it. You know, Jill Biden,
with all of her expertise on all of this, announces
that the Pentagon is going to commit five hundred million
to women's health research as part of a broader White
House push to increase funding for the study of women's health.
What Why is the Pentagon doing this? They should just
(16:34):
kick ass and win wars? Cain what they don't actually say?
What what the need is? They actually don't get into.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Is there a new female ailment that we don't know about?
Is this about impacts? What is this about? Can't be
about impacts clearly? So what uh? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Uh? I don't know. Well, we've got the gender neutral
sub I don't know. Our border is wide open, and
we have all of this international instability. We have like
an actual way of allies, you know in the Middle
East that are fighting for survival, and we're spending half
(17:22):
a billion dollars to study women's health. These people can't
even define what the hell a woman is. How do
they know how to spend half a billion dollars on
women's health and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
To expand on that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Are we studying now the rise of testicular cancer and
prostate cancer in women?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Because is that what it is? I'm not behind that,
I'm not for that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Why is she announcing something that is really under the
purview of the president and it's fine? I mean, this
is so stupid.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
She's a real doctor.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I was reading the hillpiece Shu shop Biden sent this
executive order back in March directing these agencies to strengthen
research and data standards on women's health with the purpose
of better leveraging federal funding. And it directed agencies to
prioritize funding for women's health research and encourage innovation. What
(18:19):
he gets in they don't even they can't even define
it again, remember birthing person and all that stuff. No,
they said that, listen, this is what this is the
purposes of the order. Listen. Quote the term women's health
research means research aimed at expanding the knowledge of women's
health across their lifespans. And reading from the White House website,
(18:40):
which includes the study and analysis of conditions specific to women,
conditions that disproportionately impact women, and conditions that affect women differently,
they said that they want to enhance the study of
women's health across This is all just nonsense. Consider women's
health as appropriate gen the evaluation of research. That's it.
(19:07):
This is stupid. I don't even understand why this is needed.
It's not needed. I mean, we we we don't need
any of this. Is this is this just giving more
money to healthcare agencies that got fat cash during RONA.
I mean again, everything is going to hell. But they're like, oh,
let's spend all this money on. Let's spend the money
(19:31):
on half a billion dollars on what do you need?
What else do you need to study? Well, as you know,
women happinesses now, so it's very important that we study this.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
We have a private sector healthcare system. Why does the
government need to do any of this research or funded
or any of that. If the market requires some research
on a specific health issue, the private sector would be
getting together to incentivize the creation of that response and
then find a way to make money off of it.
Let's go is a waste of money.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And it's interesting to note that she made this at
the Clinton Global Initiative Forum.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, it's not going to any health.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Things getting laundered.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's good, it's totally getting well.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
This is getting laundered, and that's all this is getting.
They ain't studying nothing here. No, Bill Clinton is going
to personally study with the women. He is going to
personally study the women, and he's going to tell you
what he thinks about women's health. That seems probably more appropriate,
that's why. But but this is defense money. Unless you're
(20:33):
going to send women who have like a blood rage,
you know, during that time out into the battlefield. I'm
using warhammer terminology and bringing all the things together here, Kane.
You're sending out unless they're unless they're you know, gonna
turn You know this, this the adeptis of starts into
some women by getting them all worked up into like
(20:55):
a literal blood rage and sending them out into the battlefield.
I'm just curious as to why in the hell we're
spending defense money on this stuff. I feel like that
was inaccurate, right, Why are they Why why you don't
know that? Like you literally have a class uh like
uh Kane of the the one of the chapters as
(21:19):
of Space Marines as a blood angel, and they they
get real sensitive about certain stuff and can get real
worked up, and their blood rage can consume them. It's
just how you get fourth wave feminism.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
The meter that measures the bloods.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, you gotta quell it. You gotta ride the quell.
So like, you get them worked all up into a
blood rage, send them out there. You gotta ride that quell. Ladies,
just take it on out.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Just I feel like most of the people don't understand
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No, they it's like Vince Clortho from Ghostbusters. You know,
I can tell you many of something to slore that day.
I mean, I get it, it's the same thing, but
I swear it makes sense in my mind. But why
is she announcing it? No, they're gonna have Bill. I'll
be up here. I'll look ill and spare the ladies.
Pusup girls, you know, and an RFK Junior will help him.

citizen from Florida trying to get back into the US.
He seemed disoriented and under the influence. He didn't have
any physical injuries, so he was taking a shore of
(01:17):
transfer to an EMS unit. I've never heard of that

he literally couldn't because he was locked in his own trunk.
And he said that he was hunting for his lost
keys when he somehow managed to fall inside of the trunk,
which closed and then locked him inside, so his keys
were still missing. He was just going to go to
the beach and smoke some weed apparently, you know Florida man.
(03:49):
And he got a citation for possessing drugs and paraphernalia
at they Motorbiscuit says if the car had been three
years newer, that would have had an emergency trunk release.
It was a ninety seven Lincoln Continental the two thousand
and up started having because that was my first thought, like,
how was there no emergency trunk release? Also, could you
just kick out the backseat? I mean I don't know.
(04:12):
So just wow, that lost his keys. How do you
look for your keys so hard in your trunk that
you fall in it and then it closes behind you?
And Luckshu went there, but yeah, but he only had
like pot on him. Apparently, can you get so high
that that happens? They're partners over at Keltech the P fifteen.
This is the smallest, lightest, thinnest double stat nine millimeter
(04:34):
out on the market, and it literally is the ween
siest nine milimeter that I have. I don't lose stopping power,
but I get I gain ultra concealability with US. Comes
in two versions, right P fifteen. You have the metal
frame version and the polymer I almost said polyester, which
would have been horrible. And the polymer version Striker fire
pistol metal frame has that wood panel. They got textra grips,
(04:56):
true classic look and fit feel. And it comes to
two magazines either one you get the standard fifteen round
magazine minimal pinky extension and you get a flush fit
double stack maggot holds twelve rounds treatium fiber optic front,
sight fully adjustable fiber optic re rear. It's just super
concealable and ladies, we carry differently than the dudes do. Dudes,
your women carry differently than y'all do. This is a
(05:16):
great concealability and just great firepower, great dependability, and it's
made by you know, the people who invented the microcompact pistol.
Category innovation performance in celtech. Learn more about the P
fifteen at keltech weapons dot com k E L T
e C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dane to send
you this. Do we have this audio? This is the
(05:40):
California mayor or No, sorry, South Portland mayor, Misha Pride.
They were listening to residents and they ended up. It's
funny because the main Democrat leader didn't want to lower
property taxes and then she got hit with two properties
tax lines. But this, this South Portland mayor told seniors
(06:05):
that they needed to take out a reverse mortgage to
avoid the city's sharp increase in property taxes. Is that unbelievable?
We have this, by the way, I thought we did.
But they it was the residents were saying, well, our
taxes are going up. It's making it more difficult to afford,
(06:26):
you know, basic daily things. And their response was, we'll
just take out one of those reverse mortgages that Tom
Sellick tells you about all the time, those commercials. They
that's what they well they didn't say it like that,
Oh my gosh, No, they did say that, but they
did say take out a reverse mortgage. Yeah, we to
avoid the property taxes. Go ahead and uh, just take
(06:47):
out a reverse mortgage. On your house. Listen, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm really sad, and you know, my taxes are going
up to and have every year for the last five years,
seeing as our property that are so high. Seniors name
want to consider averse mortgage. It's I know it's an
ugly word, but there are I'm just saying, if I know,
it's horrible, but it's sort of a last resort.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Aren't they aren't they often don't they have like a
predatory nature of the reverse mortgages? Isn't that historically? How Wow,
that's crazy. What about I don't know, giving people like
an abatement or not having property taxes which are communists
and makes it to where people can't ever really own
their own property. Can you imagine like you could have
(07:37):
your property taken over if you're behind your property taxes
a few thousand dollars, like a fraction of what your
property is actually worth. And I can just rob you.
It's ridiculous. It's it's it is. I mean, at least
you know, at least crime organizations are honest about what
they're doing, or lower taxes. I think, just get rid
of property taxes, Just get rid of them. There are
(07:57):
better ways to go and fund emergency service and municipal issues,
way better ways than stupid communist property taxes that drive
everybody out. It's just it's asinine. It's like one of
the things in Texas that we fight is property tax Like, yeah,
we don't have a state income tax, and I think that,
you know, we still make out way better than states
(08:18):
that do have income taxes, but the property taxes can
be ridiculous, and that's that's, you know, one of the
things you got to consider. But to take out a
reverse mortgage or just stop wasting everyone's it's it's frustrating
why I don't want to have to pay for services
that I don't use. Do you ever find yourself like
give people their tax money and let them send their
(08:39):
kids to whatever the schools they want. I don't believe
in the public funding of schools. I absolutely do not.
I think that you should empower parents and stop stealing
their money and let the parents pay for their kids' education.
Because buy a large public school funded, I mean they
pay more per pupil and a number of states than
you would on like decent, like actually good private school education.
I think where were we we were in Ohio, I think,
(09:02):
and they were spending I can't remember. I can't remember
the cost. It was something like eight I can't remember
per student. It was what they were paying was almost
I mean one and a half times per pupil, one
and a half times greater than what we were paying
per child for our private school tuition. And that was
(09:25):
public school funding per pupil in Ohio. I was floored.
And it's like that in so many states, like in Texas.
It's like that in so many states. And then when
you compare the results, I think that you make schools compete.
I don't know why people are so terrified of that.
And I realized that there were organizations involved that exclusively
(09:46):
donate to Democrats, and so they have a quid pro
quo arrangement here. But no, I don't believe in the
public funding of education. I don't. I think that let parents,
because parents are going to know what's best for their
let them keep it their money and they can get
even better education for their kids. It doesn't have to
be that's lazy, and it's so noncommittal. It's like the
(10:07):
least you can do publicly subsidizing something like that, where Oh,
I'm not even gonna look at I'm just gonna throw
money about it and pretend to care and then turn
to blind eye. That's just so lazy. That's so lazy.
That's not stewardship of your fellow man. That's not civic
pride or responsibility. That's lazy Marxism, I mean, which was
what Karl Marx was. And let's not have you forget that.
(10:29):
The only positive contribution that Karl Marx made to this
world was his bloated, just obscene, chonky carcass feeding the
worms in the ground. That is the only positive contribution
that Karl Marx ever made to the world. He fed
(10:50):
some worms with his own fat rolls after he kicked
the bucket. There you go, chonky, smelly, dirty, lazy Carl Marx. No.
I never worked in his life, and he grifted off
all of his friends. It's our friends over at Hillsdale College.
Hillsdale founded in eighteen forty four to offer the kind
of education required to preserve liberty and the folks at
(11:12):

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
So this is sad news. Brett far for FARV say it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's just Brett far Far Yeah, spread far bread.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Fire far still sounds weird. But he made a shock announcement.
He's battling Parkinson's disease fifty four years old. He just
like recently released just recently revealed this. Uh, and he's
been speaking out I speaking out about it. That's a
wild so goodness. The California governor signed a law a
(12:59):
banning all plas shopping bags at grocery stores. This is
Gavin Newsom. I mean, you've got needles and feces everywhere,
high taxes, you're in the red. Best I can do
is span plastic bags. You know, just take a pawn
chop style. Best I can do ban plastic bags. That's
all I can do. No, it's not even a choice. Now,
this is why I would Actually, I don't know. I
feel this is so shoppers have to purchase bags that
(13:21):
are made with thicker plastic that makes them reusable. I
actually always reuse my plastic bags.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
No, what are we gonna put in those little tiny
trash cans in the bed.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They're perfect for the little tiny bathroom trash. What are
we gonna do? Okay, that's so dumb, gosh, so dumb.
A North Carolina man stole a cable company truck with
the worker in the bucket. Oh my gosh, that had
to be terrifying. So this guy, uh, he just literally
stole the whole dang truck WSOCTV. It was Caldwell County
(13:52):
and the guy they were repairing a line and the
worker thankfully was attached to a safety harness, but because
he actually came out of the bucket at one point
and that he was able to free himself and remove himself,
but he did hurt his leg in the process. The
guy that they caught, the suspect who stole the truck,
a guy named Frank Moody. Sounds like a always sending
(14:16):
a Philadelphia character. He was taking it and he looks
like an away sunny Incent Philadelphia character. He was taken
into custody. Wow, just crazy, still in the bucket, that's terrifying.
A vandals rampage at a main car dealership costs thousands
of dollars of damage to seventy five vehicles. This sounds
like a Tulsa King episode. A main man damaged seventy
five vehicles on an automobile dealership, smashing windows, denting the
(14:38):
hoods before he was arrested. Twenty five years old, ninety
thousand dollars in damage to seventy five vehicles. That's crazy.
Human cases of a raccoon parasite what this is apparently
a new thing. It's a rare infection. Two people in
LA were infected with a raccoon parasite that causes some
(15:01):
frequently fatal infections of the iciers and organs and central
nervous system, and people have If you survive it, you
still have neurological impairments. It's a there's a parasitic roundworm
that I can't pronounce. It's plus there's some that's the name.
But it's in raccoon feces and humans get infected if
they eat dirt or other material that is contaminated with
(15:22):
that feces. They're rare infections.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
But La says, oh, well, you know, because a large
number of raccoons live near people, the infection rate is
likely higher. So that's why you'll pet The trash fan
is yeah, they're not. I mean, yes, they look like
adorable little burglars. And yes, you might feel like you're
snow white. And you can talk to one, talk one
into becoming your pet. It's not gonna happen. They're going
to scratch your eyes out and then poot by you
and you're gonna get like a round worm and die.
(15:47):
I just so, just don't do it. Your eyes will
fall out and you'll rot. I just stop, Just don't
do it. And mortgage rates and home sales are down
as buyers are waiting for the right moment, which is
never going to happen if the country goes the way
of Democrats in November. In addition to all of that,
where's my other? Oh boy, you're gonna love this story.
Pentagon is going to spend five hundred million dollars on
women's health research. Why do we need to spend half
(16:09):
a billion dollars? Jill Biden announced it. You know, Jill Biden,
with all of her expertise on all of this, announces
that the Pentagon is going to commit five hundred million
to women's health research as part of a broader White
House push to increase funding for the study of women's health.
What Why is the Pentagon doing this? They should just
(16:34):
kick ass and win wars? Cain what they don't actually say?
What what the need is? They actually don't get into.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Is there a new female ailment that we don't know about?
Is this about impacts? What is this about? Can't be
about impacts clearly? So what uh? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Uh? I don't know. Well, we've got the gender neutral
sub I don't know. Our border is wide open, and
we have all of this international instability. We have like
an actual way of allies, you know in the Middle
East that are fighting for survival, and we're spending half
(17:22):
a billion dollars to study women's health. These people can't
even define what the hell a woman is. How do
they know how to spend half a billion dollars on
women's health and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
To expand on that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Are we studying now the rise of testicular cancer and
prostate cancer in women?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Because is that what it is? I'm not behind that,
I'm not for that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Why is she announcing something that is really under the
purview of the president and it's fine? I mean, this
is so stupid.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
She's a real doctor.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I was reading the hillpiece Shu shop Biden sent this
executive order back in March directing these agencies to strengthen
research and data standards on women's health with the purpose
of better leveraging federal funding. And it directed agencies to
prioritize funding for women's health research and encourage innovation. What
(18:19):
he gets in they don't even they can't even define
it again, remember birthing person and all that stuff. No,
they said that, listen, this is what this is the
purposes of the order. Listen. Quote the term women's health
research means research aimed at expanding the knowledge of women's
health across their lifespans. And reading from the White House website,
(18:40):
which includes the study and analysis of conditions specific to women,
conditions that disproportionately impact women, and conditions that affect women differently,
they said that they want to enhance the study of
women's health across This is all just nonsense. Consider women's
health as appropriate gen the evaluation of research. That's it.
(19:07):
This is stupid. I don't even understand why this is needed.
It's not needed. I mean, we we we don't need
any of this. Is this is this just giving more
money to healthcare agencies that got fat cash during RONA.
I mean again, everything is going to hell. But they're like, oh,
let's spend all this money on. Let's spend the money
(19:31):
on half a billion dollars on what do you need?
What else do you need to study? Well, as you know,
women happinesses now, so it's very important that we study this.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
We have a private sector healthcare system. Why does the
government need to do any of this research or funded
or any of that. If the market requires some research
on a specific health issue, the private sector would be
getting together to incentivize the creation of that response and
then find a way to make money off of it.
Let's go is a waste of money.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And it's interesting to note that she made this at
the Clinton Global Initiative Forum.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, it's not going to any health.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Things getting laundered.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's good, it's totally getting well.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
This is getting laundered, and that's all this is getting.
They ain't studying nothing here. No, Bill Clinton is going
to personally study with the women. He is going to
personally study the women, and he's going to tell you
what he thinks about women's health. That seems probably more appropriate,
that's why. But but this is defense money. Unless you're
(20:33):
going to send women who have like a blood rage,
you know, during that time out into the battlefield. I'm
using warhammer terminology and bringing all the things together here, Kane.
You're sending out unless they're unless they're you know, gonna
turn You know this, this the adeptis of starts into
some women by getting them all worked up into like
(20:55):
a literal blood rage and sending them out into the battlefield.
I'm just curious as to why in the hell we're
spending defense money on this stuff. I feel like that
was inaccurate, right, Why are they Why why you don't
know that? Like you literally have a class uh like
uh Kane of the the one of the chapters as
(21:19):
of Space Marines as a blood angel, and they they
get real sensitive about certain stuff and can get real
worked up, and their blood rage can consume them. It's
just how you get fourth wave feminism.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
The meter that measures the bloods.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, you gotta quell it. You gotta ride the quell.
So like, you get them worked all up into a
blood rage, send them out there. You gotta ride that quell. Ladies,
just take it on out.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Just I feel like most of the people don't understand
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No, they it's like Vince Clortho from Ghostbusters. You know,
I can tell you many of something to slore that day.
I mean, I get it, it's the same thing, but
I swear it makes sense in my mind. But why
is she announcing it? No, they're gonna have Bill. I'll
be up here. I'll look ill and spare the ladies.
Pusup girls, you know, and an RFK Junior will help him.
