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 3 (00:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I just saw Kane tell a dude that he needs
might all on social media.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Just saw that one. It's nice, nice comeback, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So a Florida, A Florida attorney was convicted of bringing
cocaine into a Florida jail. It's almost like he should
have known that that was illegal, if only he had
the education to know that that was illegal. Sixty year
old David Castles was convicted of one compossession of cocaine,
count of felony introduction of contraband into a county detention facility.
(00:44):
Why ares his glasses crooked on his mugshot? It's bothering
me really badly. It's very asymmetric in the verdict. The
judge who has sentenced him to a year in jail,
three years of probation, three hundred hours of community service.
He has to go through substance abuse things stuff like that.
But that's just one of the dumbest self owes. So
(01:04):
much of this is like self owning people's self owning.
This one guy got seventeen and a half years because
he led a cocaine trafficking network from Puerto Rico to
New York. That's also a big, bad no no, So
I'm surprised the New York did.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Anything about it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Right, But it was a cocaine distribution network that spanned
from Puerto Rico to upstate New York. US attorney's office
they handed this dude, a forty nine year old dude
from Lady Lake, Florida, seventeen and a half years in prison.
He was also involved in money laundering, distribution, all kinds
of bad stuff. That's not something that you know. There's
(01:42):
a lot of the cocaine distribution happening here this Gulf
Coast News to Florida. Man was accused of street racing
at one hundred and twenty four miles per hour and
when the police got him, his excuse was that quote,
I have to use the bathroom. That's why he went
(02:03):
one hundred and twenty four miles per hour at three
am on a Sunday. You see in Lee County, Florida.
It was a late night street race and they're still
searching for the motorcyclist. He was racing a motorcycle. This
is how people get killed. The Toyota cameray. This guy
was racing. If you were wondering if it was a camera,
you are correct. A Toyota camera and motorcycle stop side
(02:24):
by side of a traffic like they were able to
get it on some CCT stuff from other you know,
like businesses and that. But yeah, they clocked him at
going one hundred and twenty four. The motorcycle hit more
than one hundred and forty. When they stopped him, he said,
I had to use the bathroom really badly. I had
to use the bathroom bad is what he said. The
camera driver did not have a license, and the police
were like, well, that's a red flag number one and
(02:46):
number two that it was happening at three in the morning.
That's also another red flag. And then Sheriff JD. Grudd
he uh well knows. Sheriff Brady Judge said, a Florida
man who's a retired deputy insultant workers at McDonald's drive
through with a child in the front seat, so he
drove for he was compatitive towards McDonald workers and he
had like an unstrained, hid eighteen month old in the
(03:08):
front seat. We'll have more on that tomorrow. So as
we head into the holidays, it's not just about gifts,
It's about gratitude and protecting what really matters, family and
the future and your financial security. Colin Plume is the

Speaker 5 (04:22):
As a mother of black children, I know that black
boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the
presumption of youth. She's calling the police and saying they're
trying to steal her car and they're eleven years old,
they don't know how to drive. And so for me,
what was interesting was I have had to be in
the position where I have gone to my local police
department because I know my son is going to be
training for the Junior Olympics running around the neighborhood in
(04:44):
an all white neighborhood, and I have brought him to
the police and said, he.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Belongs to me. This is my son.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Do not harass him, do not stop him.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I feel like this is ridiculous first off.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And by the way, if you want to know, I mean,
because she lives in Manhattan, who have been who is
the party that's been control this entire time that's fomented
these policies.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Oh, that would be Democrats. It'd be the exact people
that she votes for.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That's Sunny Houston on the view, who was descended from
slave owners. By the way, Oh you didn't know that. Yeah,
take that as an intersectional box to check.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, was she literally came I mean she did the
whole what show was that where they looked. Yeah, she
literally came from slave She her family owned slaves. Yeah,
so she's more like the Klan than the you or
I King.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Welcome back to the program, Dana lash with you. We're
at the where at the top of the second hour
our friends set Dylan from the Babylon. B'll be joining
us at the bottom of this hour, and we got
a lot of stuff to discuss. But that's the identity
politics stuff that she's getting into. I gotta tell you,
I can't stand identity politics. We've been talking about this
(05:53):
for a little bit, the identity politics being a Marxist
creation and really started it was introduced, started being introduced
back in like the really it began in the sixties
to college campuses all across the United States. If you
listened to the show last week, we were talking a
little bit about the history of critical race theory, which
came from that same you know, Frankfurt school. Marxism came
(06:16):
from the same spot. You have the competing variables of
economic status as well as race. And that's where intersectionality,
that is where DEI.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
All of that came out.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Of critical race theory, which was really promoted heavily by
Marxist academics in the United States at American universities, and
one of the leaders of that was Derek Bell. I
was first talking about this. In fact, I had to
talk about the video of him hugging Barack Obama before
Andrew Breitbart right when he had passed away on CNN
and point out to everyone that this is look, what's
(06:51):
coming is very bad. This is critical race theory. It's
being mainstreamed, et cetera. And this is what you see
with the left when they talk about intersection For instance,
if you have two candidates, two candidates who are going
for the same position, say that they're both black female candidates.
You have a black female candidate who's married and his
kids and she's going for this, you know, very high
(07:13):
pain position. And you have another black female candidate who's
going for the high paining position, but she's also maybe
she's trans or alphabet something and xyz. She has one
more intersectional box than the just plano other candidates. So
that means that in DEI world. She's advanced to that
position not because of merit, but because of these you know,
(07:37):
self created intersectional checklist variables. That's what all of that is,
and it all comes from critical race theory, and that's
where you get the the substitute of equity for equality,
and as you know, equity, in order for things to
be equitable, you actually have to incorporate discrimination for equitable outcomes.
(07:58):
Whereas equality is about equal access to opportunity, equity is
the guarantee of equal result. That means you have to
enforce discrimination at the opportunity level. So that's all from
CRT critical race theory, and the left has been using
this to browbeat the right for forever.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I mean, we've seen this.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
When I first got heavily involved in politics, I think
it was in college and all my family I told
everybody I never met. I didn't meet a Republican until
the day I went to college. I'm not kidding. I
literally grew up in a bubble of Democrats. And when
I went to college and got educated and started learning
(08:41):
more about the world and wasn't as narrow minded and
didn't live in a leftist bubble than I started. Actually,
like we know, what I never believed in this. I
was never against guns, and I was never pro abortion,
and I was never all of this stuff. So why
the hell am identifying as this? This is like some
sort of heritage political ideology that's foisted upon me. And
so started learning about more things, and I've noticed that
(09:02):
the DEI stuff came into play when it seemed like
Democrats were losing the plot, and then all of a sudden,
they introduced all of these other things that their leftist
street team could get behind. And that's when you started seeing, well,
someone's more special than you because of these race based things,
which actually is racism being used, but the left is
(09:23):
too doomed to realize it. So long story short, we've
been seeing it in politics.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
We saw it. You know, this is how crazy it gets.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Back in twenty sixteen, if you remember, when Hillary Clinton
was running against Donald Trump, people were literally saying that
Trump voters were racist because they didn't vote for the
old white woman. I mean, you guys, remember this. That's
how crazy the CRT stuff got. It's wild. And now
here we are, you know, twenty twenty five, and the
(09:51):
left is still clinging to it. They're still clinging to it.
Especially when you talk about redistricting for voting, districting for
voting in Texas for instance.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
This is redistricting is.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Something that happens, you know, every I mean, they look
at this stuff every three years anyway, and they base
things off the census, and we're simply going by the
numbers and by like the actual counties and et cetera,
et cetera. And they're trying to say that all of
that is racist. It's de crt that's all.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
This is.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
My fear is that the right is going to start
I don't want the right to start incorporating this stuff.
And I've had I'm going to put it like this.
I'm not old school. I'm just not over emotional. I
I don't like this idea on the right that you've
got to become like the left in order to beat
the left. That's very anti sun Zoo. That means that
(10:44):
you're surrendering you who you are and you become the
thing that you want to beat. That is the ultimate win.
That's why when I am engaging with people, unless they're
super nasty, you know, what is the point of engaging
with them if it's not to persuade them to join
you in your side of reason and logic. That's one
lest person you have to fight, and it's also one
(11:06):
person that you have another person to fight against the
things that you're standing against. And so this idea that
you have to become like the left to beat the left,
that's something a leftist would say. That's like Satan going, well,
you got to become Satanic to beat me? Well, I
(11:26):
expect that from the devil. I mean, Jesus even said
you can't be lukewarm, did he not? I mean, if
we're going to adhere to the gospels and say christis
King and all this stuff, you know, just FYI. So
I say this because you know, I've had disagreements with
some folks before over this sort of thing, and disagreements
are good. I reject this theory that you cannot have
civilized debate on the right or the left.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Well, the left, they're incapable.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't want to be like the left and not
be able to have civilized debate and even disagree with
some people that I might vote with on nine ninety
nine percent of the things right or even agree with
on most things. A healthy, intelligent, emotionally stable, mature movement
(12:11):
should be able to tolerate and handle civilized descent. That
is a hallmark of this republic. Our founders did it.
I mean, sure, you can get heated and all of
that other stuff. But what I can't stand is when
I see disagreement maliciously misrepresented as an attack for loss
(12:39):
of being able to properly and unemotionally refute it. I
can't stand that. I just feel like people are too
damned sensitive and too emotionally triggered for civilized debate if
they think every descent is an attack. An attack is
having a terrorist throw a rocket at you while you're
(13:00):
trying to eat an MRI in the desert.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
An attack is what happened at Hamid Karzai International Airport
in Kabble. An attack is Fallushah. An attack is nine
to eleven. An attack is what we saw at Pearl Harbor.
That is an attack. Someone civilly disagreeing with you is
not an attack. And if you think otherwise, you are
(13:26):
a female copulatory organ. You're too sensitive, too hyper emotional
for reasoned debate. And you know who else shares that hallmark?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
The left?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
The left does that. The left can't tolerate dissent. The
left purports that every single disagreement is an attack. The
left thinks that if you disagree with the woman, it's
because you're sexist. The left says that if you disagree
with the black person, it's because you're racist. And I
see elements of the right try to incorporate that as well,
(14:02):
when they're way smarter and way better than to devolve
to that level.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I had a bit of a.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Disagreement on social media this morning. It's not enough to
make anything out. I don't live my life online and
arguing with Rando's all damn day. You know, I'd rather
hang out with you guys, and then, you know, do
what I got to do. I'm getting ready for this
debate coming up in November. I got a lot of
stuff that's going on, you know, family, all that, so
I don't see everybody are I just think if you're
(14:30):
spending all your day online arguing.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
With everybody, then stop.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
But people on our side, especially some people who are
trying to be thought leaders and shepherds, need to get
a grip, calm down. I appreciate the dudes and the
ladies who don't do that. I feel like it's becoming
rarer and rarer when I come across them, almost think
(14:56):
we should have medals minted to hand them at this point,
because it's becoming so rare. But I don't think again
that you adopt the attitude and behavior of the left
in order to beat the left. And I just think
that if the conservative movement is so weak that it
can't handle dissent, we deserve to be destroyed as the sensitive,
(15:17):
easy manipulated.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Losers that we are.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I just feel like that's the way it is, because
that's what that behavior makes us. It's crazy, and I
think some of this came from I don't know, like
what do you think some of this came from cane?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Like the Nazi stuff? What did it come from?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What do you mean? The division tactics?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think I feel like the right is some people
on the right are being baited into this psyop ye
division completely and they don't see it.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You pointed to it earlier in all of our past
discussions about how crazy we believe the left is. It's
because their emotions are not in check, and because of that,
they're easily manipulated. And it doesn't matter if they're manipulated
by lies or the truth, does not matter. It's been lies,
but they will react in the same way. So all
(16:12):
it does is create division. It's easy to fool someone,
the hard thing is to convince them they've been fooled.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I had someone that someone that I know of but
I don't know them personally, and they were saying that
on social media that you know, they feel like they
got to adopt some of the left.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Tactics, and that's what it is. Just be honest about it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Because after Charlie Kirk was shot and they had to
deal with threats, and I'll tell you we you know,
Charlie was also a friend and we all watched him nationwide.
I mean a lot of people felt also like he
was a friend and they saw him get shot in
the throat.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I have had to move.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I've had to move because I had somebody I had
a leftis said hey to me, fly halfway across the
country and try to bust in the windows of my
living room. I had people driving around my house taking
photos and posting it online and threatening me.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
My gosh.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
We had people that tried to have all my social accounts,
my email. We had to have twenty four to seven security.
I had to have security at my kids' school. I
watched leftist shoot cops in front of a building downtown
at a BLM rally the night I was supposed to
go down there for a Fox hit. I watched parts
of my hometown burn. The point is this, everybody has
seen some stuff. Never allow your opposition to manipulate you
(17:23):
into becoming like them. I'm not changed who I am
or what I believe in the hard stuff. I mean
things like, oh, well is this policy? Is this energy policy?
Do you change your mind on that? I mean, those
are variables and things can shift, and that's you know whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
But you can't give up.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You can't allow your soul to be molded by the
people you're fighting against. And you should be able to
gently correct someone on your side with that fact without
them devolving into a hyperbolic, emotional man. And if that
is unavoidable for their character, then maybe they're not the
(18:05):
right kind of warrior for this job. And I don't
give a rats ass if that hurts anybody's feelings, because
at this point I like you all, but I don't
care about making friends, and I don't care about being
invited to the parties, and I don't care about being
on the stage and making the speech. I don't care.
I got a lot of other stuff we got going on.
(18:26):
But I do care about the health of the movement,
and I care about the soul of the nation, and
I do care about a lot of the people that
are trying to do really good things in this So
when someone says, do not allow yourself to be manipulated,
the correct and strong response isn't to devolve into the
behavior of an overemotional leftist woman. It's to maybe say, Okay,
(18:50):
this person isn't coming from an origin of malice. Maybe
there's something to this. And again, if you can't, then
maybe this debate isn't for you.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So amazing woman admits to using our employer's money to
play business's slot machines. It's the average worker in today's
work force on forard already by this story. Let's see, Oh,
here's this, let's do this. This is an Iowa town. So
in Iowa that jesse A police department issued a statement
(19:27):
regarding harassment from toilet papering people's houses in that Now,
the police department says tping has banned anyone caught doing
it will face legal charges, et cetera. And that they
said that it's effective immediately there's zero poll I just
think it's a perfectly good waste of toilet paper. It
is kind of a pain to clean up. I've never
had you know, I've only I've never actually done it
(19:49):
to anyone or had it done.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I did help spork someone's art, though.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I never realized how well off we were back in
the day. We're just throwing toilet paper and achs everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Right, did we joke about this during COVID? Oh my gosh,
I just don't let your kids do that. It's a
waste of resources and it's annoying. Okay, I just don't.
A traveler was caught with human remains at the Tampa
airport and when they asked him what he was going
to do with it, he said, it's for rituals, I
mean US Customs and Border Protection at Tampa. It was
(20:24):
a skull. And what's gross is it was all wrapped
in foil. Ooh can it's so gross? It was all
wrapped in foil. And he told officers that the items
were for rituals and due to it being gross and nasty.
They I mean, yes, health risks and all that, but
(20:45):
just totally grody. They seize them and destroy them. Wow,
who thinks they're going to walk through tsa, Oh, here's
my skulls and bones and go what is the matter
with you?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Welcome back the chats at Rumble.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You can find the newsletter over at substaff all that
good stuff. So let's talk about drivers and people who
are driving giant trucks who are not in the country illegal,
who are not in the country legally, because that's what
we're dealing with here. So again, why that alien spacecraft
doesn't want to visit us because they're like the say,
they're drivers. So a number of truck drivers are sounding
(21:17):
the alarm about the insane amount of non English speaking
commercial drivers that are on the road, and they said,
it's you know, when you think of the staggering number,
it seems pretty terrifying. One of them described it as
mad Max on the highways. And we know that, you know,
(21:39):
we've had a handful of accidents so far, some which
have been fatal, in which you have people who are
not residents, they're not citizens of the United States, and
yet they're able to get CDLs which is completely against
what they're supposed to be able to get for federal law.
But you know, California, Gavin Newsom, they're just handing them
out like Halloween candy. I mean, apparently it's pretty easy
(22:02):
to get your CDL in California. So there we have
horrible accidents. We have, you know, multiple fatalities, innocent people,
all because you have illegal aliens who are driving giant
trucks who have really no idea how to drive giant
trucks and they cannot understand our road signs. Case in point,
(22:22):
this cut twenty nine is a trucker who not only
can he not speak English, but he also cannot read
the traffic signs.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
This is insane. Look at this.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Does that sign mean? Let's I mean taint things? What
does this sign mean? Monster? Enter moster We okay, So
(22:54):
if you see this sign, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Take a.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Number thirty five? What is this sign?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
The two people? Maybe clue? Maybe one mate? What does
it mean? What the neat? Yeah? What does that sign mean? Yeah?
Two people? Two people doing what they're walking? Yeah? Two
people are walking?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Could no, Kane, don't tell him. He has no idea
what it is he has no clue what it is thought.
Could it be pedestrians or could it be they don't know?
He doesn't know because he doesn't He has no idea
what this means. How in the world are you driving
a giant truck?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I mean, my husband won't even let me get a
Dodge Demon because he says we'll wrap it around the tree.
But these blinkers can go and they can just get
a CDL out in California and drive a big old
truck around and not even read the road signs. Who
do you think is more dangerous out there? Illegal alien
who can't read the road signs are speaking English or
Dana and a Dodge Demon.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Shut up, Cane, I was going.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
To answer the obvious one.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Clearly aliens, Yes, exactly correct, that's the right way to
answer it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Those vehicles are so heavy, I mean, you can't even
break in time for anything.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Wouldn't you be terrified? Okay? I just imagine this.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Imagine you're going over to like Germany the Autobahn and
you got to drive a giant rig in Germany and
you can't speak Germany. I have no idea what the
heck anything means besides ashtong you don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Do you feel comfortable driving? I mean, where do people.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Get the audacity to be like, oh, yeah, I can
handle this, this is okay, right?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Could I do it?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I think they drive on the right side of the
road or the left side of the road there.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, not that alone country.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Even if I knew the signs, I'd still be like, eah,
a little sketch. I have once some more practice.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
We're get out.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I want to be able to like read the ode
signs before I drive this giant multi ton truck. But
this is what California's doing, So I got an idea
of California could just go and get CDLs. Why can't
we all just go and get give out CHLS saying
there right or CCLS you got to go to cochl
(25:21):
anyway there, Steve is Steve is my favorite comment of
the day. He says in slect Steve said he's scared
of normal talented truck drivers.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
The normal talented one scare you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, just have you ever been on when you're in
the right lane and then they're on the left lane
and you get you get in the blind spot.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
You're like, I don't know if I should speed up,
slow down, freak out.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I just paniced. I feel it. I mean, one of
my worst car accidents ever was because of a careless,
gigantic semi.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And what the scariest accident I've ever been in was
on Interstate fifty five going linear South County and Saint Louis, Missouri,
and we got hit by a semi and we spun
across three lanes of highway. Thankfully we went towards the
median and not off the ravine, but that was pretty
scary and I was in the front seat seatpals in
my life, I would have been launched through the windshield.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, and that dude was an American, could speak English
and read signs, the whole nine.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I still think, you know, if California is just going
to be handing out licenses to people, then I think
we should just be able to give ccls out to everybody,
give them a concealed handgun license. If that's what California
wants to do then and it affects all of us.
They can give out license. They don't have any reciprocity
with firearm licenses, but they can give out commercial driver's
(26:37):
license like a Halloween candy. So okay, well, let's just
go ahead and give out everybody in California a CCL.
Two can play that game. Screw the laws. It's just
going to be total chaos.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I'm all for it. I'm done. I'm at that point.
I mean for crying out loud. I'm sincerely praying for
a space rock to obliterate us. So this is nothing
to me. Let's just do it. I'm so tired of this.
This is but this is what happened when state. This
is why somebody's governor affects you. This is why a
gubernatorial race in a state that's not yours affects you,
(27:08):
because they're giving out licenses to illegal drivers who are
killing people on highways in your state. An illegal alien
driver was driving a giant rig with an illegally bigot
see his commercial CDL that California gave him, in a
complete conflict with federal law, and he killed people in Florida.
(27:31):
You know, if others killed people in Canada, I'm come on.
So if this is why these races are important, even
though you don't live in that state, because this type
of stuff happens. He doesn't have any room to lecture
anybody on this stuff, not anybody, and it just it's
it's it's so frustrating. So yeah, why can't we just
(27:53):
go and give them? What other stuff can they not
do out there that we can do? I mean, like
pretty much anything, really, I just it's infuriating. But there
are these stories, all these truckers are saying that you
would be shocked at the number of these drivers who
(28:14):
come across other drivers and they're like, they're not proficient
in English. They can't read our road signs, they can't
you know nothing. In fact, one of the largest refrigerated
trucking companies told The Washington Times that non English speaking
drivers regularly pull into their warehouses, and they said that
(28:35):
they'll pull in, they'll pick something up. There'll be two
three truckers, two drivers in a truck. Two or three
of them speak no English, not even a word. Maybe
one speaks very bad broken English. And they still don't understand.
They said, so obviously you can. You know, it's concerning
because they're sharing roads with people.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
That's you know.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Now, lorainoed too, the DMV was helping to people cheat
on their CDL test. This was a CBS story. This
is terrifying. Why can't they if you're going to do
something helpful in terms of people cheating and skirting the
system to do it with taxes for krannell Oub, New
York prosecutors apparently arrested seven, well, they breasted seven people
(29:13):
this last time. The earlier sweet nutted more because of cheating.
To acquire these licenses, you have to pass a written test.
But what they were doing was selling grades at Garden
City GMV and Nasau County. I mean, you could pay
up to three thousand dollars for a woman to take
the written test, and every time she went to take it,
she addresses somebody else, so she'd She even wore a
(29:34):
fake mustache, according to the DA in Nassau County, a
fake mustache. Even so they're selling it. It's like how
they sell DoorDash accounts. You know, you can go online
and there's all kinds of places online where you can buy, like,
for instance, a DoorDash account. Somebody selling it. Somebody somebody
went and created their account, applied to work for DoorDash,
(29:56):
did all this stuff, and then they sell the account
and takes the account. They start working for it, and
they get the money for it. I stopped using door
dash because one of the driver's names that I was
supposed to have was name Amanda, and she just looked like,
you know, regular white chick with brown hair. And the
person who shoot up at my door was definitely not
(30:16):
a chick and definitely not little with brown hair, very
large person who did not speak in English. That and
after that, I was like, I can't. I don't know
who's come to my house a DoorDash. That's kind of
a problem. And they've been in a lot of trouble
for it. They were getting blasted last week online for it.
(30:38):
But they sell them. I mean, it's not difficult to find,
so they're selling. They're selling people to take driver's licenses
tests too. Now they do that a lot of these
big factories. They have people that they hire that go
in and they do an in person interview with you know,
a potential employer, and then they leave, especially if it's
you know, if you're doing a factory job, then they
send in a person who's here illegally and they perform
(30:58):
that work. You can't do that with CDLs, though, I
I this is because you're driving a giant weapon basically,
Now imagine, I mean, what if heaven forbid, it's something caustic,
you know, what if it's something that you know it's
it's flammable, it's caustic. Something you get someone that doesn't
(31:20):
speak any English, can't read road signs or held.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
What's worse, what if you just have a terrorist do it.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I mean, if it's that easy to just get anybody
and sell results for CDLs and just get your given
everybody licenses, how's the national security on that front? That
becomes a major national security issue. They're gonna have to
have Department of Transportation get involved in this. I mean,
I know that they're looking at it, but they need
to be out front and center on it because this
is apparently a growing problem. Do you want to be
(31:47):
on the road driving your little family on the highway
with one of these people out there, and then what
happens they hit you?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
There's not It's just insane.
