Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Celtech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time for
Florida man. All right, and I will warn you, Steve,
I do have a villager story here. First up, though,
something this doesn't seem very high speed. Florida man leads
(00:22):
police on a quote unquote high speed chase in a giant,
slow moving semi fifty one year old. His last name
is Lebowski. It's so perfect. Christopher Lebowski was apprehended after
a high speed pursuit. It was not high speed, and
(00:44):
it's safe to say that he really struggled driving this thing.
They it wove dangerously in and out of traffic and
barely conducted a perilous U turn on the highway, drove
into incoming lanes, people barely escape being hit. And it
finally concluded and the police were able to take the
(01:07):
guy into custody. But man alive. That's something else. Let's
see we also okay, now we got a villager story.
We got as a villager is not going to be
prosecuted in an umbrella attack on her. Can I say
that word? It's the B word for dudes, but it
(01:29):
doesn't end with itch husband. She's very not happy. Her
mugshot Dolores Dennis. Why does she have three first names?
She seventy six year old Dolores Dennis. She is of
a village of Virginia Trace. The charges were dropped against her.
Her husband went to Summer County Sheriff's office. He said
(01:51):
his wife had threatened him with her the pointy end
of an umbrella during an argument and they had an
four day long argument. Wow h she hit him with
on the head with her umbrella, and she said He
said that she'd also been armed with a knife and
threatened to cut his ankle so we couldn't walk, and
he tried to record some of the chaos. So charges
were dropped. Bizarrely. How much you want to bet they're
(02:13):
going to be in R four de Man again here soon.
Welcome back to a super pack program because it's been
a crazy weekend of news. Dana Lash with you or
at the top of this third hour.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The uh.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I mean, We're we're going to get into the two
American soldiers killed in a tarr attack in Syria, but
also the story with Rob Reiner that was news that
just came out of nowhere. Yesterday, his son stabbed him
and his wife to death. When I first saw or
I think when I first heard about the story, it
said that there were two fatalities at Rob Reiner's home.
(02:53):
I just immediately didn't think of him being one of
the fatalities, right, I was thinking, oh, there was an accident,
or then I thought, well, maybe it's like one of
those carbon monoxide kind of issues, you know. I was
just thinking about I didn't think of what happened that
he was stabbed to death by his son, which is horrific.
And apparently his son was really, really, really troubled and
(03:18):
they're yeah, I mean even so much with his siblings. Apparently,
hours before the stabbing, Rob Reiner and his wife were
at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party with their son, Nick, who
now has been arrested in charged with the killing of
his mother and father. And apparently they've always kind of
(03:43):
had a strained relationship. I know that they did a
film together that kind of focus was kind of focused
on Nick's struggles with drug addiction and things like that,
and they said that he was an intense kid who
screamed like the world was on fire. According to a
family friend and someone who wrote about apparently child behavioral
(04:05):
problems just I mean awful they had. I mean, I
can't imagine your last moments on earth. You're looking in
the face of your child, the person that you love
more than you know, you love so much and you
would give your life for, and you brought into this
world and raise them up, and just to have your
(04:27):
final moments be their furious face as they end your life.
I can't imagine anything more horrific. I mean, that's just horrifying.
And for his siblings, because he has a brother and
a sister too, Golly, I don't how do they how
do they even deal with that? That's just horrible, absolutely horrible. Apparently,
as miss Seuse found him and yeah, they were at
(04:51):
the Conan O'Brien holiday party, it says per TMZ. They
got into a very loud argument that other guests could hear,
and then Rob Bryner and his I've left the party,
and then Sunday everybody had their throat slit. I mean,
because that's how he killed him. He slit their throat
and then stabbed them awful, and no one said what
(05:14):
the argument was about, the other than that they had
just he had just had an argument and it was very,
very loud. Apparently he was in rehab a lot. He
was like in rehab what fourteen fifteen times. His son
was in rehab for a long time and apparently also
dealt with mental illness, so he was on drugs. He
was mentally ill, had apparently a history of mental illness,
(05:37):
which makes me think also maybe there was a history
of violence there. But man, I just can't it's awful now.
I know that. When and I've seen some of this
stuff out there. People normally, if it's if I really
don't like the individual and it's bad news, I just
don't say anything. This was just such a horrifying way
to go out. No matter how much I would just
(06:00):
gree with anybody about politics, I couldn't. I would never
hope that they go out this. It's just awful. And
I just can't even imagine. Your own child, can't even imagine.
I wanted to play for you this reaction that Rob
Reiner had when he was asked about the assassination of
Charlie Kirk and the reason I'm playing this because there's
(06:23):
a lot of meanness and nastiness out there. I really
you know, I know we all love Potus and we
all love him, you know, taking down people on the left.
I don't think that his tweet about this was the best.
I think it was a it was a misstep. He
had tweeted about Rob Reiner and got real political about it,
and I just I don't think it's helpful. I don't
(06:43):
think it's helpful. We're like, right before Christmas especially, you know,
Rob Reiner was very graceful about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
And I wanted to play this audio for you because
this was at a time when nobody else in Hollywood,
and I'm just putting it out there, this was a
time when no one else in Hollywood was speaking about
(07:03):
it in this way. I think he was one of
the first listened to this, and.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I unfortunately saw the video of it, and it's it's
it's beyond belief what happened to him, and that should
never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political
beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to
(07:28):
solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said
at the service, that the memorial they had was exactly
right and totally. I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but
I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe
in doing to others, and I believe in forgiveness. And
(07:49):
what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know,
she she forgave his assassin. And I think that that
is admirable.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, indeed, just that was a very And remember
that when he said that, that was at a time
when you had celebrities going, yeah, well their politics were horrible,
or he had it coming. He was like one of
the first people who said and he was pretty early
out of the gate, like no, no, no, this is just awful.
And I just thought that was very classy. Potus had
(08:26):
tweeted about it, and he said, a very sad thing
happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, he says, a
tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and
comedy stars, passed away together with his wife, reportedly due
to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding
and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as
(08:46):
Trump arrangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS, and he
was talking about it, and he said, may Rob, I'm Michelle,
rest in peace. Oh my gosh, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on, come on. And it's real.
This was not an AI thing for the people. It
was a real post. I just there's a this. The
way that he went out was horrific. And that's it.
(09:08):
No one, no one, nobody. There's no amount of political
disagreement that would make me want your last moments to
be looking in the eyes of your child as they
cut your throat. It's awful. We got to get to
a moment where we recover a little bit bit of
our humanity. I was thinking about this jokingly. I was
(09:29):
looking at Potus's tweet. I'm like, Potus, come on, Potus,
and I wanted to I My first thought was, Dude,
that seems like TDS. You can't have TDS because you're
or DTS because you're DT. You can't have DTS because
you're DT. It's my first thought. I did, Oh, just awful?
(09:52):
Can I And this is a do you ever have
weird thoughts like this? The other thing that popped into
my head was I actually never thought, not that I
ever thought about Rob ran Or passing away or anything
like that, but it was just so it's so shocking
that you think of all the ways that you thought
somebody might go, even if you never actually thought about it.
That's not the way that you thought they would go, right,
(10:14):
like maybe peacefully in their sleep after a nice meal
or maybe you know, I don't know, not like that.
Just horrific. But it's okay to try to find humanity
in other people. And can I encourage you in this,
which is weird for me to say because I'm one
of the meanest people that's in this industry. Admittedly, you
(10:38):
don't have to wait for the other person to demonstrate
humanity before you do. It's not a weakness. It's not
a weakness. I mean in scripture you're told, well how
I mean Jesus explicitly it's in the red letters in
the Bible, and y'all know what that means, where he says,
how easy for it? How easy is it for you
(10:58):
to like people who like you? How easy is it
for you to do good unto people who do good
unto you? But doing good to others without the expectation
of reciprocity, being kind to others without the expectation of reciprocity.
That that is true strength and true discipline. So just
the thought it is the people over at AMMO Squared.
(11:21):
AMMO squared can get you covered if you want to
make sure that you always stay topped up, no matter
what caliber it is that you need. This is a
great gift for hunters, preppers, anybody who loves to shoot,
just likes being prepared. It's America's ammunition reserve. It's a
worry free solution to collect ammunition for the future and
avoid getting caught empty handed. You can choose from over
seventy calibers. You set a monthly budget and they automatically
(11:43):
curate and grow your reserves. You just set it and
forget it. It's a gift to keeps on giving all
year lung and everything is stored in a secured, climate
controlled facility until you want it shit. There's no minimums,
no hidden fees, and you get free shipping on orders
over two hundred and fifty dollars. It's a great gift
for folks who want to try new calibers are just
stay topped up. Visit amosquare dot com set up an
(12:04):
ongoing AMMO supply. Don't run out when account stock up
before and after training. That's amosquare dot com. Tell them
Dana sent you.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. All right, so let's
get started here. The So the Louvra you Caine, they're
closing the doors to visitors because of a staff strike.
I thought it was because all their artwork out ruined
and it were stolen, but I might have been. Yeah,
it's a walkout, and they visited the most it's the
(12:36):
most visited museum in the French capital. They had four
hundred staff. Trade unions announced it's all back. They said
that they understaff museum workers. They weren't being given what
they they needed in order to cope with the increasing
flows of people. And you know, they had they had
the theft of these French Crown jewels. Then they had
(12:59):
a water leak that damaged all like hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of books that they had. So they're having
serious problems. And then don't forget, wasn't there like another
joke that somebody did They pulled like some kind of
joke and they had like another yeah, yeah, yeah, they
brought something in like right by where the Mona Lisa was.
So they're having a real one over at the leve.
(13:19):
So now the staff was like, yeah, we're going to
go on strike. We're done with this. Oh I can't
actually say what. I have this listed as on under
our rundown Stanford Medicine. A new Stanford Medicine study shows
that the mRNA why the mRNA vaccines can cosmeocarditis. We
all knew this. All of us knew this. All of
(13:40):
us knew this, and this was why so many of
us were so we were not interested in taking this
experimental shot. And so for you know, all of that,
we were talking about this in twenty twenty one, twenty
twenty all of the people, by the way, and I
know we all have that. This is my little merry Christmas,
you know, ho ho ho thing for all of the
people that ended friendships because their friends wouldn't get the shot.
(14:03):
Burning in aids fire follow la la lah go stuff
yourself there, you go, because we all knew it. Oh No,
I'm not over it, not gonna be over it. Let's
see Peter Green, oh sixty years old. He was found dead,
found dead in his apartment. Everybody remembers him. He was
the mask. He always played like the scummiest villain, did
(14:24):
he not. I don't know what I would do if
I saw him in a role where he played the
good guy, because he was so good at being bad.
But he's passed away age sixty, apparently had illnesses and
some other stuff. Secret government UFO program reveals paranormal events. Well,
I believe it. I believe it. I believe anything at
this point except if my government. You know, though, I
(14:46):
was thinking about this, If my government's telling me that
aliens exist, then I think that they don't because I
don't trust my government. Hmm, I'm really torn, Kane. This
needs a whole segment. Anyway. They said that a secret program
known as aw SAP literally what is called AAWSAP created
in two thousand and eight with Harry Reid when he
(15:08):
was still alive. It became the largest ever UFO investigation
ever undertaken. Remember when he fell all over his bathroom
with exercise bands and nobody believed him. Maybe it wasn't
the mafia because he was a gaming commissioner. Maybe he
was aliens that just went in and whooped him up.
I don't know, but they said that Yeah, Apparently there's
a program that has been following it for some time.
(15:30):
You think that this is all drip drip stuff, part
of a plan to desensitize people to it. Oh, maybe
it possibly could be that three I at List dramatically
changes color as the Earth approach is days away. Isn't
it interesting how it's coinciding or on Christmas time? I
think so as well. We're going to come back to that.
(15:51):
We've got all kinds of news to Unpackstick with us.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
At four o'clock in the morning, hit this hotel room
in Coventry and took this man into custody. What we're
told from law enforcement sources now is that they seize
two firearms from this twenty four year old suspect. One
of those firearms, we are told was equipped with a
laser sight device. This has significance because number one, that's
(17:08):
a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun, where when you
aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target,
and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes
where the dot is. It's the kind of things used
mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people. The other aspect
of it, though.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Is it who is this turd that's talking? Who is
this absolute lunchbox that's talking? I mean the red dot.
You just put the red dot on the gun kit.
And the magical is a very sophisticated device that allows
by military people southed by specialists, military people who about that?
(17:52):
Where do they get these people? This on CNN? They
had this stewge up on CNN. If I was sitting
there on just sat with them, I just smacked them
in the face. That's the dumbest thing that I've ever heard.
And we're all stupid or for having heard it. First off,
it's not like this magical sophisticated device. I have red dots.
I have. In fact, one of my last pistols I
got has a red dot on it. By the way,
(18:14):
like laser sites, red dots. These are all very different things.
This guy's no idea what he's talking about. Number one.
Number two, it's you can buy it on damn Amazon.
You can go into Walmart and get one. They are
not expensive. Millions of people have these. It's and he's
talking about the Brown University. This is it's not a
(18:36):
special device that you can only get if you're like
a pro or a military. I don't even know what
that means. Professionals and military, what does it even mean?
This guy doesn't even know. This is the kind of
stuff that they can I just please, for the love
of all things Holy, if you're going to talk about
it on your show CNN, have somebody that knows what
the hell they're talking about to discuss it. You just
(18:57):
point and shoot, you clown. It's not going to do
a thing. It's not a magical instrument. We're told one
of those firearms we're told as such such as was
equipped with a laser sot davas. It's a firely sophistic
head of davas. I love how he tries to describe it.
When you aim at a red dot goes to where
(19:17):
you want to target, and if you fire at the point,
the bull go through the dottis. I can't with these people.
These are not serious people on this issue. It's like
saying Joe's a chainsaw bay ut. I mean, dude, this
is just I I think, By the way, there are
way more. This is where this guy's wrong. There are
(19:38):
way more. There are way more sights and red dots
on civilians firearms than there are military. Yes, what is
this guy even talking about? Who is this sentient turd?
Who is it barely sentient? Good night? It's not a
uh yeah. In the chat, they're talking about how the
(19:59):
red dot makes the bullets go faster. See the bullets
like it peeks out of the barrel and it goes
what's that out there? Is that a rid dot? I'm
gonna go get that rid dot and it goes faster.
That's not how this works. Doesn't work that way. But yes,
pretty sure. I would bet the house on the fact
that more civilians have this than police, for sure, or
(20:23):
any kind of millspec they Oh my gosh, stop listen, guy,
is no. You can get one for like fifteen dollars
on Amazon right now. There are people who put them
on their salt guns for bugs. That's there. I mean
people use them all the time. They're super cheap to get.
It's millions of millions have them. But this is them
(20:45):
trying to fear monger about this. Again. Brown University was
a gun free zone. Rhode Island's pretty much a gun
free state. So you know what failed? What do they
have that failed million dollar question? Don't you think what
didn't work? They're not going to evaluate it because that
would require brain cells. This. Uh what also gets me
(21:08):
about this is the absolute mess of the press conference
from the post Brown University. They're still looking for this guy.
They can't find him. They got a guy in custody,
and then they had to let him go, or they
let him go. This was a cut thirteen. So while
they were literally having this ten o'clock or eleven o'clock
whatever press conference, the police chief of Providence, Rhode Island,
(21:29):
somebody whispers in his ear that, well, you can't say
being in custody, that's not the right thing to say.
Watch this. That's thirteen.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Now someone's in custody, and how you all are working
together to garner that information is the wrong part.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Someone being detained, correct, And so, yeah, someone being detained.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He led us to that point. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So they're not in custody, what are they? Yeah, detained,
they're just they're just detained. They're not into custody, they're
just detained. H Yeah, this is a cut fourteen. Primia Jopaul.
She's apparently wants something that would make all of the
laws that they already had more A lawyer, I don't know. Listen,
(22:11):
this is fourteen.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Because it's come to this place where these events are
happening in every community across the country. And the answer
to the majority of Americans is clear, make it less
easy for guns to be in the hands of people
who shouldn't have them, and that means passing gun safety reforms.
(22:34):
But every single time something like this happens, we don't
get the reforms.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Okay, what reforms do you want? Brown University bans any
and all firearms at all, whatsoever, any and all weaponry
at all, whatsoever on any aspect of its campus in total.
Not You are not allowed to keep anything in your car.
You're not allowed to have anything in your car, You're
not allowed to have anything touched abs. The property of
the University Rhode Island has a quote unquote thought whip
(23:02):
had been They have all kinds of stuff, They have
AMMO restrictions, additional licensing, They have everything that you want.
Why did your laws work? Why didn't they work? Do
you know? Also, according to numerous independent studies, including if
you look at Stanford University's data set of mass casualty incidents,
(23:23):
do you realize that, especially within the past ten years,
gun free zones specifically are targeted. They are targeted. Do
you remember the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado? The killer
in that instance was going to was actually looking at
a different theater originally, and then ended up targeting that
(23:47):
particular theater because it was explicitly a gun free zone.
When you look at what was it, the uh mass
casualty incident that took place recently, this was the Highland
Park where you had uh what was it? Highland Park?
Elsewhere gun free zones, gun free zones, the store in
(24:07):
New York, gun free zone. I mean, I'm just like
going through my list at gunfrie Zone, gunfree Zone, Nashville.
The killer targeted explicitly set in writings gun forre his zone.

Welcome back to a super pack program because it's been
a crazy weekend of news. Dana Lash with you or
at the top of this third hour.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The uh.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I mean, We're we're going to get into the two
American soldiers killed in a tarr attack in Syria, but
also the story with Rob Reiner that was news that
just came out of nowhere. Yesterday, his son stabbed him
and his wife to death. When I first saw or
I think when I first heard about the story, it
said that there were two fatalities at Rob Reiner's home.
(02:53):
I just immediately didn't think of him being one of
the fatalities, right, I was thinking, oh, there was an accident,
or then I thought, well, maybe it's like one of
those carbon monoxide kind of issues, you know. I was
just thinking about I didn't think of what happened that
he was stabbed to death by his son, which is horrific.
And apparently his son was really, really, really troubled and
(03:18):
they're yeah, I mean even so much with his siblings. Apparently,
hours before the stabbing, Rob Reiner and his wife were
at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party with their son, Nick, who
now has been arrested in charged with the killing of
his mother and father. And apparently they've always kind of
(03:43):
had a strained relationship. I know that they did a
film together that kind of focus was kind of focused
on Nick's struggles with drug addiction and things like that,
and they said that he was an intense kid who
screamed like the world was on fire. According to a
family friend and someone who wrote about apparently child behavioral
(04:05):
problems just I mean awful they had. I mean, I
can't imagine your last moments on earth. You're looking in
the face of your child, the person that you love
more than you know, you love so much and you
would give your life for, and you brought into this
world and raise them up, and just to have your
(04:27):
final moments be their furious face as they end your life.
I can't imagine anything more horrific. I mean, that's just horrifying.
And for his siblings, because he has a brother and
a sister too, Golly, I don't how do they how
do they even deal with that? That's just horrible, absolutely horrible. Apparently,
as miss Seuse found him and yeah, they were at
(04:51):
the Conan O'Brien holiday party, it says per TMZ. They
got into a very loud argument that other guests could hear,
and then Rob Bryner and his I've left the party,
and then Sunday everybody had their throat slit. I mean,
because that's how he killed him. He slit their throat
and then stabbed them awful, and no one said what
(05:14):
the argument was about, the other than that they had
just he had just had an argument and it was very,
very loud. Apparently he was in rehab a lot. He
was like in rehab what fourteen fifteen times. His son
was in rehab for a long time and apparently also
dealt with mental illness, so he was on drugs. He
was mentally ill, had apparently a history of mental illness,
(05:37):
which makes me think also maybe there was a history
of violence there. But man, I just can't it's awful now.
I know that. When and I've seen some of this
stuff out there. People normally, if it's if I really
don't like the individual and it's bad news, I just
don't say anything. This was just such a horrifying way
to go out. No matter how much I would just
(06:00):
gree with anybody about politics, I couldn't. I would never
hope that they go out this. It's just awful. And
I just can't even imagine. Your own child, can't even imagine.
I wanted to play for you this reaction that Rob
Reiner had when he was asked about the assassination of
Charlie Kirk and the reason I'm playing this because there's
(06:23):
a lot of meanness and nastiness out there. I really
you know, I know we all love Potus and we
all love him, you know, taking down people on the left.
I don't think that his tweet about this was the best.
I think it was a it was a misstep. He
had tweeted about Rob Reiner and got real political about it,
and I just I don't think it's helpful. I don't
(06:43):
think it's helpful. We're like, right before Christmas especially, you know,
Rob Reiner was very graceful about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
And I wanted to play this audio for you because
this was at a time when nobody else in Hollywood,
and I'm just putting it out there, this was a
time when no one else in Hollywood was speaking about
(07:03):
it in this way. I think he was one of
the first listened to this, and.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I unfortunately saw the video of it, and it's it's
it's beyond belief what happened to him, and that should
never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political
beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to
(07:28):
solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said
at the service, that the memorial they had was exactly
right and totally. I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but
I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe
in doing to others, and I believe in forgiveness. And
(07:49):
what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know,
she she forgave his assassin. And I think that that
is admirable.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, indeed, just that was a very And remember
that when he said that, that was at a time
when you had celebrities going, yeah, well their politics were horrible,
or he had it coming. He was like one of
the first people who said and he was pretty early
out of the gate, like no, no, no, this is just awful.
And I just thought that was very classy. Potus had
(08:26):
tweeted about it, and he said, a very sad thing
happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, he says, a
tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and
comedy stars, passed away together with his wife, reportedly due
to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding
and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as
(08:46):
Trump arrangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS, and he
was talking about it, and he said, may Rob, I'm Michelle,
rest in peace. Oh my gosh, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on, come on. And it's real.
This was not an AI thing for the people. It
was a real post. I just there's a this. The
way that he went out was horrific. And that's it.
(09:08):
No one, no one, nobody. There's no amount of political
disagreement that would make me want your last moments to
be looking in the eyes of your child as they
cut your throat. It's awful. We got to get to
a moment where we recover a little bit bit of
our humanity. I was thinking about this jokingly. I was
(09:29):
looking at Potus's tweet. I'm like, Potus, come on, Potus,
and I wanted to I My first thought was, Dude,
that seems like TDS. You can't have TDS because you're
or DTS because you're DT. You can't have DTS because
you're DT. It's my first thought. I did, Oh, just awful?
(09:52):
Can I And this is a do you ever have
weird thoughts like this? The other thing that popped into
my head was I actually never thought, not that I
ever thought about Rob ran Or passing away or anything
like that, but it was just so it's so shocking
that you think of all the ways that you thought
somebody might go, even if you never actually thought about it.
That's not the way that you thought they would go, right,
(10:14):
like maybe peacefully in their sleep after a nice meal
or maybe you know, I don't know, not like that.
Just horrific. But it's okay to try to find humanity
in other people. And can I encourage you in this,
which is weird for me to say because I'm one
of the meanest people that's in this industry. Admittedly, you
(10:38):
don't have to wait for the other person to demonstrate
humanity before you do. It's not a weakness. It's not
a weakness. I mean in scripture you're told, well how
I mean Jesus explicitly it's in the red letters in
the Bible, and y'all know what that means, where he says,
how easy for it? How easy is it for you
(10:58):
to like people who like you? How easy is it
for you to do good unto people who do good
unto you? But doing good to others without the expectation
of reciprocity, being kind to others without the expectation of reciprocity.
That that is true strength and true discipline. So just
the thought it is the people over at AMMO Squared.
(11:21):
AMMO squared can get you covered if you want to
make sure that you always stay topped up, no matter
what caliber it is that you need. This is a
great gift for hunters, preppers, anybody who loves to shoot,

ongoing AMMO supply. Don't run out when account stock up

Dana sent you.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. All right, so let's
get started here. The So the Louvra you Caine, they're
closing the doors to visitors because of a staff strike.
I thought it was because all their artwork out ruined
and it were stolen, but I might have been. Yeah,
it's a walkout, and they visited the most it's the
(12:36):
most visited museum in the French capital. They had four
hundred staff. Trade unions announced it's all back. They said
that they understaff museum workers. They weren't being given what
they they needed in order to cope with the increasing
flows of people. And you know, they had they had
the theft of these French Crown jewels. Then they had
(12:59):
a water leak that damaged all like hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of books that they had. So they're having
serious problems. And then don't forget, wasn't there like another
joke that somebody did They pulled like some kind of
joke and they had like another yeah, yeah, yeah, they
brought something in like right by where the Mona Lisa was.
So they're having a real one over at the leve.
(13:19):
So now the staff was like, yeah, we're going to
go on strike. We're done with this. Oh I can't
actually say what. I have this listed as on under
our rundown Stanford Medicine. A new Stanford Medicine study shows
that the mRNA why the mRNA vaccines can cosmeocarditis. We
all knew this. All of us knew this. All of
(13:40):
us knew this, and this was why so many of
us were so we were not interested in taking this
experimental shot. And so for you know, all of that,
we were talking about this in twenty twenty one, twenty
twenty all of the people, by the way, and I
know we all have that. This is my little merry Christmas,
you know, ho ho ho thing for all of the
people that ended friendships because their friends wouldn't get the shot.
(14:03):
Burning in aids fire follow la la lah go stuff
yourself there, you go, because we all knew it. Oh No,
I'm not over it, not gonna be over it. Let's
see Peter Green, oh sixty years old. He was found dead,
found dead in his apartment. Everybody remembers him. He was
the mask. He always played like the scummiest villain, did
(14:24):
he not. I don't know what I would do if
I saw him in a role where he played the
good guy, because he was so good at being bad.
But he's passed away age sixty, apparently had illnesses and
some other stuff. Secret government UFO program reveals paranormal events. Well,
I believe it. I believe it. I believe anything at
this point except if my government. You know, though, I
(14:46):
was thinking about this, If my government's telling me that
aliens exist, then I think that they don't because I
don't trust my government. Hmm, I'm really torn, Kane. This
needs a whole segment. Anyway. They said that a secret program
known as aw SAP literally what is called AAWSAP created
in two thousand and eight with Harry Reid when he
(15:08):
was still alive. It became the largest ever UFO investigation
ever undertaken. Remember when he fell all over his bathroom
with exercise bands and nobody believed him. Maybe it wasn't
the mafia because he was a gaming commissioner. Maybe he
was aliens that just went in and whooped him up.
I don't know, but they said that Yeah, Apparently there's
a program that has been following it for some time.
(15:30):
You think that this is all drip drip stuff, part
of a plan to desensitize people to it. Oh, maybe
it possibly could be that three I at List dramatically
changes color as the Earth approach is days away. Isn't
it interesting how it's coinciding or on Christmas time? I
think so as well. We're going to come back to that.
(15:51):
We've got all kinds of news to Unpackstick with us.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
At four o'clock in the morning, hit this hotel room
in Coventry and took this man into custody. What we're
told from law enforcement sources now is that they seize
two firearms from this twenty four year old suspect. One
of those firearms, we are told was equipped with a
laser sight device. This has significance because number one, that's
(17:08):
a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun, where when you
aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target,
and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes
where the dot is. It's the kind of things used
mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people. The other aspect
of it, though.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Is it who is this turd that's talking? Who is
this absolute lunchbox that's talking? I mean the red dot.
You just put the red dot on the gun kit.
And the magical is a very sophisticated device that allows
by military people southed by specialists, military people who about that?
(17:52):
Where do they get these people? This on CNN? They
had this stewge up on CNN. If I was sitting
there on just sat with them, I just smacked them
in the face. That's the dumbest thing that I've ever heard.
And we're all stupid or for having heard it. First off,
it's not like this magical sophisticated device. I have red dots.
I have. In fact, one of my last pistols I
got has a red dot on it. By the way,
(18:14):
like laser sites, red dots. These are all very different things.
This guy's no idea what he's talking about. Number one.
Number two, it's you can buy it on damn Amazon.
You can go into Walmart and get one. They are
not expensive. Millions of people have these. It's and he's
talking about the Brown University. This is it's not a
(18:36):
special device that you can only get if you're like
a pro or a military. I don't even know what
that means. Professionals and military, what does it even mean?
This guy doesn't even know. This is the kind of
stuff that they can I just please, for the love
of all things Holy, if you're going to talk about
it on your show CNN, have somebody that knows what
the hell they're talking about to discuss it. You just
(18:57):
point and shoot, you clown. It's not going to do
a thing. It's not a magical instrument. We're told one
of those firearms we're told as such such as was
equipped with a laser sot davas. It's a firely sophistic
head of davas. I love how he tries to describe it.
When you aim at a red dot goes to where
(19:17):
you want to target, and if you fire at the point,
the bull go through the dottis. I can't with these people.
These are not serious people on this issue. It's like
saying Joe's a chainsaw bay ut. I mean, dude, this
is just I I think, By the way, there are
way more. This is where this guy's wrong. There are
(19:38):
way more. There are way more sights and red dots
on civilians firearms than there are military. Yes, what is
this guy even talking about? Who is this sentient turd?
Who is it barely sentient? Good night? It's not a
uh yeah. In the chat, they're talking about how the
(19:59):
red dot makes the bullets go faster. See the bullets
like it peeks out of the barrel and it goes
what's that out there? Is that a rid dot? I'm
gonna go get that rid dot and it goes faster.
That's not how this works. Doesn't work that way. But yes,
pretty sure. I would bet the house on the fact
that more civilians have this than police, for sure, or
(20:23):
any kind of millspec they Oh my gosh, stop listen, guy,
is no. You can get one for like fifteen dollars
on Amazon right now. There are people who put them
on their salt guns for bugs. That's there. I mean
people use them all the time. They're super cheap to get.
It's millions of millions have them. But this is them
(20:45):
trying to fear monger about this. Again. Brown University was
a gun free zone. Rhode Island's pretty much a gun
free state. So you know what failed? What do they
have that failed million dollar question? Don't you think what
didn't work? They're not going to evaluate it because that
would require brain cells. This. Uh what also gets me
(21:08):
about this is the absolute mess of the press conference
from the post Brown University. They're still looking for this guy.
They can't find him. They got a guy in custody,
and then they had to let him go, or they
let him go. This was a cut thirteen. So while
they were literally having this ten o'clock or eleven o'clock
whatever press conference, the police chief of Providence, Rhode Island,
(21:29):
somebody whispers in his ear that, well, you can't say
being in custody, that's not the right thing to say.
Watch this. That's thirteen.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Now someone's in custody, and how you all are working
together to garner that information is the wrong part.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Someone being detained, correct, And so, yeah, someone being detained.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He led us to that point. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So they're not in custody, what are they? Yeah, detained,
they're just they're just detained. They're not into custody, they're
just detained. H Yeah, this is a cut fourteen. Primia Jopaul.
She's apparently wants something that would make all of the
laws that they already had more A lawyer, I don't know. Listen,
(22:11):
this is fourteen.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Because it's come to this place where these events are
happening in every community across the country. And the answer
to the majority of Americans is clear, make it less
easy for guns to be in the hands of people
who shouldn't have them, and that means passing gun safety reforms.
(22:34):
But every single time something like this happens, we don't
get the reforms.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Okay, what reforms do you want? Brown University bans any
and all firearms at all, whatsoever, any and all weaponry
at all, whatsoever on any aspect of its campus in total.
Not You are not allowed to keep anything in your car.
You're not allowed to have anything in your car, You're
not allowed to have anything touched abs. The property of
the University Rhode Island has a quote unquote thought whip
(23:02):
had been They have all kinds of stuff, They have
AMMO restrictions, additional licensing, They have everything that you want.
Why did your laws work? Why didn't they work? Do
you know? Also, according to numerous independent studies, including if
you look at Stanford University's data set of mass casualty incidents,
(23:23):
do you realize that, especially within the past ten years,
gun free zones specifically are targeted. They are targeted. Do
you remember the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado? The killer
in that instance was going to was actually looking at
a different theater originally, and then ended up targeting that
(23:47):
particular theater because it was explicitly a gun free zone.
When you look at what was it, the uh mass
casualty incident that took place recently, this was the Highland
Park where you had uh what was it? Highland Park?
Elsewhere gun free zones, gun free zones, the store in
(24:07):
New York, gun free zone. I mean, I'm just like
going through my list at gunfrie Zone, gunfree Zone, Nashville.
The killer targeted explicitly set in writings gun forre his zone.
