Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Like Sam's Through the hour Glass, So are the days
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I took my grandson to see what was a movie
with a buzz, like.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Not that one, but the new buzz The light Year.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I think Cheeky Palmers in that movie, she plays like
the daughter. So we're watching it and the lady, which
is Kiky's mama, they move on into the spacehears they
moved down the line. They're like, then she had a baby?
Speaker 5 (00:38):
What a woman? Or my grandson in the middle of
the movie, like Papa sloop, How she have a baby
with a woman? She a woman?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I didn't come in for this show. I just came
to watch a damn movie. Hey, man, watch the movie.
Uh uh?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
They just said she and she had a baby.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
They both women. How does she have a baby?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Sh it?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
So it's like this, fuck me, I'm scared to go
to the movies. They're like, y'all throwing me in the
middle of that. I don't have an answer for it.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
You know, he's not wrong. I think it's hysterical. And
he's getting all kinds of hate for this too. Why
are they flaming him? So hard for I mean, it's
not to it's true. I mean, there's different ways.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
To to to showcase things like that in film, but
apparently what that film did is they just basically insinuated
that it is the same as just me and a
woman coupling and you know, having a baby.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Uh. And that's true.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
You want to go to a movie, especially if it's
the kids movie, and you don't want to have to
sit here and answer questions about this stuff. You want
to you want to escape. This is why isn't a
Disney movie. It's Disney so damn garbage. They opened up
the Pirates of the Caribbean bar somewhere.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I saw this.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I was almost gonna include it in my headlines, but
I'm like, they don't deserve it. You can open up
however many Pirates bars you went to, your trash, you're
still trash, trash. It's just nonsense. Nobody wants to have
to answer those kind of questions. It's something that if
people want to bring that up with their kids themselves
on their own timelines, that's their right to do it.
But incorporating things like this in a kid's movies, where
(02:16):
it's something that is way above their level of understanding,
and there's a lot of nuance and a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Of it's not for kids.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
It's not for kids, and it's not wrong to say
that there are certain things that are just way age inappropriate,
and that's one of them. I mean, this is just
(02:51):
so weak, dude. You can't even level up for nothing.
So this is ma'am, Danny. What was this that the
men's I was looking for the name of this aventas
some kind of I don't know, men's health thing and
he shows up and he's trying to do a bench press.
I can't tell what the hell the spotter's doing. There's
like barely any weight on this thing, and the spotter
(03:12):
is basically doing it for him. He's not letting it go. Man,
Danny could not do it without that guy doing it
for him. That is one of the most embarrassing things
I've ever seen. And I made this mention. I told
Kane this, and I'm sorry, but I've got it. You guys,
one of the reasons that you sit next to me
and we talk every day is because I say the
(03:34):
things you think. I don't know how this guy's wife
looks at him after that and wants to sleep with him.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's so that was natural birth control that I just watched.
That's that is so sad. That's I mean, I can
lift that. That's I can do that. That's that's oh man,
he should not struggle as a man that much with
Basically it's just the bar at that point, I I
and I get it that it was just this impromptu thing, right,
(04:03):
I get it. But the spotter, like, what is the
spot of trying to add more weight onto it?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Now, just let me entertain this for a moment.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Is the spotter to this, ma'am Donnie stunt trying to
add like push down on him almost?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Who's spots like that?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well? I guess he's used to spotting heavier weight, because
that's what you would do for somebody's struggling with heavier weight.
You want to make sure you've got one hand underneath,
one hand.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Over you never maybe because it's there's hard.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Some people that deadlift that way as well.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I have never seen anything like that with just that
kind of weight.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Uh, what are those on there?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Those aren't even twenty five's probably what is that on there?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If that? I think those are maybe twenties.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yeah, that's like those are the middle the middle those
are oh my gosh. I mean, at least help him
out and put like the oh what is the one
that everyone always says that they do know the type
of weightlifting where they crossed Vegieva jeez, So maybe it
could help him out and put those weird little CrossFit
rubber weights on that are like five pounds but they're
(05:13):
huge looking and they made they could have helped him
out and done that at least so that way he
looked real.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I would have done that if I was this guy,
you know, I would have just.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Kept the you know, kept the Victorian freak show going
and just put some fake ones on. That is just
it's so embarrassing. And I'm not the only one who
saw that. Obviously, all of his all of his competitors
seized on it. Man, it was Brooklyn Men's Days, what
it was.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
That's what I was looking.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
For, because at first I was like, why is he
doing this in the middle of the street. Did he
just like walk over and oh you're lifting, let me lift? No,
it was Brooklyn Men's Day, and I get the sense
that he was not expecting to do this. He completed
two assisted reps men he completed two assisted reps. I
(05:58):
can hear the ribbing. All the guys in the audience
are giving him right now. From here, I feel it.
I'm like, oh my gosh, two two assisted reps.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No reps.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Man scrawny is what Eric Adams called him. He goes
a lifetime of hard work versus a silver spoon. Eric
Adams went out there, and I mean just saying, right,
I can't believe I'm in a position of talking positively
about Eric Adams. This is why I hate the left.
Look what they've done to us. Look at what they've done.
Look what you did to my boy. Look what you
(06:33):
did to us. And even Cuomo got out there. So
now they're all out there lifting man Danny. That was
I know, I don't know. You don't go to a
men's Day event and celebrate masculinity.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Okay, you know what they did.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
They saw the HEG Seth and Rfkjunr video and then
they're like, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
What, why would you try to do You have got
to appeal to me. Oh my gosh, why dude, you
need to go on steroids? Like, why would you try
to even do that?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I believe that this was an actual strategy. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Oh my god, shares are in the corner. I I
just got to tell you. I'm I feel like I'm
not speaking for all ladies, but I feel that I
can speak for enough of us, sisters, right, enough of us,
especially as conservative ladies.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yes, strength absolutely matters.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
I'm not into the I'm not into the Bato shaped people,
you know what I mean, or the man Danny shaped
kind of people.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I want to feel like.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
If our car was going off a cliff, that my
husband could hold onto a tree and then literally hold
onto the car with one other hand and then shoot
another hand out of his neck and grab me and save.
I mean, I want to feel like that. I want
to not be able to get my hands around your arms.
That's what I want to do, and I don't care
(07:56):
how you achieve it. I don't my husband does not
takes or anything. I don't care how it's achieved. I'm
not throwing no shade on it if you do. I'm
just saying I don't want to be able to put
my hands around my husband's waist or his arms or
his legs. I don't want to do that. And I'm
not saying I want you to be, you know, morbidly
obese and seven pounds. But I don't. I don't want
(08:22):
to feel like we could wear the same shirt, right,
I don't want to be the same size as you.
I just I'm the woman, you know, it's me, So
I don't know that is a big deal. And I'm
very old school about this stuff, and I just feel
like this dude is too fem man. He's way too
He's a lady dude. He's I watched this and I'm like,
(08:44):
that man's poor wife can can And I have something
so inappropriate to say.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Go ahead, I'm just gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I know why you call him ma'm donny. No, ma'am,
it's ma'am donny.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You know what I wanted to say is can he
even lift? I just I'm asking for a friend, inquiring minds.
I mean, I don't want to be able to lift
the same as my husband, right. I want to just
(09:19):
collapse of exhaustion just looking at the weight that my
man does in the gym, you know what I mean.
I'm very old school about this stuff, so I don't know.
And when we're at the gym, my husband will spot me.
I'm not even gonna pretend that I can spot him.
But and he's just like with a finger like girder.
(09:40):
And here I'm like, and I'm pretty feeling pretty bad
ass for a lady. I'm doing a lot, you know,
And I'm just saying so I looked at this and
it hurt me. It hurt my soul, it hurt my heart,
and I'm like, m man like, how would like? How
does his lady even get romantical with Lah? Does that
(10:02):
mean I can't get away from this subject? This is
what is wrong with the left. You know why their
birth rates have fallen because look at their damn men.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Look at them men. Do you think them men could
storm beaches?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Do you think the men could fight off like a
horde of invaders?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Hell, they're tucking and calling themselves ladies. No, that's why
the birth rates are falling. Because the men are ugly,
they're weak, and they're thin, thin alarms, little noodle arms.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And then the women are bigger than the men.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Stab it good night. I don't care who gets offended
over that. It needs to be said. You know, we
need to go back to that good heavens. So as
you can imagine, now, Cuomo's getting in on it. I
don't help bust a blood vessel in his face. Let's
not do that. Is that gonna play though with New
(10:50):
York voters? I mean, that kind of stuff absolutely plays
with me. But I'm not a New York voter. I'm not,
you know, one of those. I think at this point,
if you're still living in New York, you're you know,
and and it's and you have a choice of leaving.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
It just feels like I don't Maybe it doesn't matter
to them, doesn't matter to them.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I honestly, I think it was focus grouped, and I'm
I couldn't be you know, overjoyed more about the whole idea,
just laughing about this whole thing. They literally had a
meeting and decided to do this. You know that they did.
Do you think that was just like some avant garde
thing that happened while he was getting a bag or something.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
No, he wasn't out, No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
No, They planned this. They actually this was a strategy
of theirs. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I don't and I sware I'm going to move off
of this.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
But I also don't know any man that would allow
another man unless he's lifting an ungodly amount of weight
and going for like a pr I do not know
anybody that would allow that kind of spotty and like.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do broke it off of it? I got this just like,
actually spot me, don't like help me?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
You know, I don't know any man that would subject
themselves to that publicly, even and Donnie was like, oh,
you could tell the dudes never lift you. Look at
his wrists. Look at the way he was lifting Win.
You know that's right, my comfort heavy one. It's like
I could toss him up into the sky, like what
is he doing? One could spin him on his finger.
(12:18):
This is just crazy. I don't know, but that's the
stuff that they're guys. We're gonna have to. We're gonna
have to. We're oh, gosh, help us all. I just
realized this. We're embarking on a new type of Democrat
electioneering where they're going to pretend to be tough. God
(12:39):
help us all. We are going to be subjected to this.
This is why this keeps happening. They're like, look, we're
talking tough. And then you got Newsom out there almost
stuttering when he drops an F bomb because he's so
unsure of himself.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
This word's too explosive to come out of my mouth.
I don't know, and I can't deal. And now they're
gonna try to outlift each other. Haven't help us all well?
Keltech the PR fifty seven. It is a rotary barrel
pistol chambered in five seven, forty percent lighter than the competition.
If you're looking for something for concealed carry, and they
way that they accomplish this two ways. The innovative rotary
(13:13):

design that replaces the traditional magazine with a stripper clip
where a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one capacity.
It's a super fast and easy field strip It's also

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Now all of the news you would probably miss it's
time for data's quick five.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
The purchases are getting canceled at a record rate, reports
The Hill. More thin, fifteen percent of home purchases fell
through last month. In total, fifty eight thousand US home
purchase agreements were canceled. Cancelations are most common in Texas
and Florida. Home sales, they said, are falling through the
highest rate in years. You got record prices, elevated mortgage rates,
(14:20):
economic uncertainty, A lot of people are walking away, and
so that's really destabilizing this whole market.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, this.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Protest as a newborn has been removed from its mother
in Greenland.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I don't know if it's a boy or girl.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
For the baby's mother in Greenland, because they were saying
that she underwent Danish authorities. She underwent a parenting competence
test and apparently, I guess didn't pass it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
The local municipality took her baby into foster care. The mother,
who is eighteen, says she's only seen her daughter once.
They said that even though there's new law that bans
the controversial controversial psychometric assessment.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
On people with Greenlandic backgrounds.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
This woman who was born to Greenlandic parents, et cetera.
She gave birth our daughter and Copenhagen, and they apparently
they sent all the laws clear.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
What this is crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
They said that they started testing her before the announcement
that the ban was coming in and then when they
completed the test the law was in force. But because
I guess they started it before the law that banned
those psych psychometric tests went into effect, I guess it's
considered like allowable.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
This is insane.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Again, big government, Big government, guys, this is what you
get with it. This uh, a ninety two year old
sprinter is said to have the muscle cells of someone
who is in their twenties.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
She's uh lives in a Padua, Italy, so like Capadua's
you know, it's like north of Venice in northern Italy.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Five foot one a lade sprint ninety two years old.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
They said that she literally like her her muscle cells
look like they're muscle cells of somebody that are in
their twenties. They're studying her. She is like this champion sprinter.
She's been a champion sprinter her whole life. That's crazy.
We have more in store.

(17:04):
Family Pharmacy dot Com slash data code data ten. For instance,
we've been talking about this flag burning thing. I don't
agree with it. I think that the government has absolutely
no business regulating speech. I don't care how vile someone
thinks flag burning is, which it is. You not liking
speech is not a reason to use the government to
(17:26):
limit it. So that's, you know, we got to think
of this stuff as well. This order that Potus is
put out where they want to prosecute people who burn
the American flag, and they want to reclassify it as
being an action that is tantamount to fighting words. So
they're trying to argue that it is unprotected speech because
(17:48):
it's fighting words. And for you to understand that, if
you're just tuning in and we talked a little bit
about this last hour, you have different forms of speech
that are protected in speech that isn't protected. What that
means is that you're protected from litigation. You're protecting from
the government persecuting you or prosecuting you. So libel, slander, defamation,
(18:10):
and then fighting words. Fighting words is an interesting thing
because it's specifically about incitement and incitement that is immediately
trying to get a retaliatory response.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And if you hear Wick, Wick is trying.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
To interject in here, he broke through his gait. He
desperately wants to be a studio pub I see you.
We're talking about libel and defamation. These are issues you
do not know about because you're a dog. He's confused,
he's looking at me.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So this.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Idea of this can being something that's this being fighting words,
I just don't think that's I don't think that's accurate.
I don't think that's I don't think that that it's uh,
I worry about reclassifying that. So, yeah, I worry about
him reclassifying that this is audio sound. Well, no, that's
(19:11):
that's Chicago. I don't want to play that four four.
So no, that's not what we're that's not No, that's
not it. That's crime coverage. That's not the flag though. No.
So this idea that you're going to reclassify this as
being an unprotected form of speech, again, I don't care
(19:33):
how viol it is. That's not the litmus as to
whether or not it should be protected or not. Here's
one thing I shure as hell, No, I don't want
to hear from the left on this at all.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I don't want to hear from the left on this
at all, because if you remember, we have had going
to pull this up, we have had these issues where
people have been charged for driving over pride flags. Right,
so they've been there's one instance where you've had two kids.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Do you remember this.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
I think it was in like Florida where there were
kids that had like their little bikes and they were
driving across these crosswalks that had been painted like Pride flags,
and oh, my gosh, they left tire marks, and so
they were talking about charging these kids. There was a
guy this was in We pulled this up because I
had this story. I think this was like Delray Beach. No,
(20:29):
well here's one team. This is the team facing felony
charges for leaving tire marks on Alphabet Pride intersection. I
mean they painted the Pride flag on the street and
people drive over.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Came where to cars go?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Okay, yeah, that's where they go. They go on the street,
and when you drive over the street sometimes you leave
tire marks, especially if it's like a newly painted thing,
which that was. They were going to go after. Delray
Beach was going to go after this nineteen year old
because they said that he left tire marks on an
(21:05):
intersection and thus that's considered vandalizing it. So the Left
has nothing to say about this. They have tried to
go after people who have burned alphabet flags and all
this other stuff for I don't know how long. The
BLM stuff. They went after people who drove over like
BLM things, whether it was like in New York or
(21:25):
in Florida or California or wherever. So the Left has
no nothing to stand on with this. I just think
that this is a slippery slope, right, And Lorraine brings
up a very good point for the people who are
talking about the flag. I mean, I think there needs
to be consistency. You're not supposed to wear it as
a shirt, you're not supposed to write on it, you're
(21:47):
not supposed to have I mean, and we see that
a lot, like you're not even no, you're not supposed
to have an American flag button up. No, that's like
a repurposing of it. That's actually against flag code US
flag code. But we've also had these cases too in
nineteen ninety, as she notes, Texas v.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Johnson.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Now this was actually it's nineteen eighty nine Texas v. Johnson,
where the court has never held that desecration that is
in any way done, that it amounts to incitement or
fighting words. In fact what they said, and this was
(22:26):
the case. There are a couple of cases Texas v.
Johnson eighty nine, United States v. Eikman in nineteen ninety
both ruled that desecrating the American flag as a form
of political protest is a form of symbolic speech protected
by the First Amendment. The Court of Firm that while
society may find flag burning offensive, the government cannot suppress
this form of expression simply because of its controversial nature.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
And I think that that's true.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
This edict is not going to stand because it's going
to get overturned in court and we're going to have
to spend.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Tax dollars to litigate it. And that's what aggravates me.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Sorry, but we don't have that kind of I mean,
we're all taxed to death and are we're broke. We
don't have the time and the bandwidth to sit here
and start trying to defend against litigation that should never
even be happening. Because this is I don't see why
this Now, there are other things that I like that
he's done, but I don't like this. I don't like
(23:15):
this also because of everything that we all just went
through the past eight years with different government agencies trying
to silence people and trying to argue that you asking
questions about ivermectin online is tantamount to misinformation and that
enough of this misinformation is going to be a threat
to American health and that constitutes a national security threat.
(23:36):
So that's why we the government are going to press
upon these these social media companies to shut people down
that do this. We are all still living, many of
us with the consequences of those actions from the previous administration.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
You know, we went through the whole we had.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I mean I lost my damn social media accounts because
I simply asked about the laptop story. I didn't even
tweet the New York Post laptop story. I wrote about
it on my newsletter and then I tweeted it out.
But because it was about the laptop story, I ended
up losing for several days my social media accounts. They
(24:14):
I put a strike against me over at YouTube. I
was briefly suspended on Instagram, I was briefly suspended on
x I got locked out in Facebook YouTube they I mean,
it was nuts all because we were asking questions about
a very legitimate thing. So I am absolutely completely one
thousand percent against the administration doing this. And again that
(24:36):
is completely separate from how vile you think flag burning is.
Nobody likes flag burning. I think it's I don't know
why people do it. I mean, it's the greatest nation
in the land, even with all of our problems. Still
it's heads and shoulders above everybody else. And that's just
the truth of it. You don't even have to classify
yourself as a nationalist to observe this accurately. But my
(24:57):
point is is that the flag burning is vibe well,
but that is not justification to set an earth shattering
precedent that will affect so many aspects of American culture, law, etc.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Policy.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Because it's built on a dislike of something. Someone's dislike
of it is not enough of a legitimate reason to
use the government to control it. And this is where
I get very very nervous with this stuff. There is
no reason.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I have something to add to it too, because the
way they described it today was like, well, if there's
an incitement or some underlying crime, we can go after
them and not run a file of the First Amendment.
And it's like, well, if that's the case, then we
should be able to prosecute based on those other crimes.
Why are we doing this with the flag burning. If
there's property damage, you go after him for that. If
(25:53):
you're not supposed to be burning in a public place,
no matter what it is, whether it sticks or a flag,
there's an avenue there. Why do we have to do
this and label it as an EO and a flag
burning thing.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
And the other thing too is.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
If this is going to be constituted as incitement, then
what happens if someone's wearing a flag? No? What if
you just have like a flag jacket on a lot
of people consider that to be very disrespectful. I mean
I've seen people get mad because someone had an American
flag beach towel and they laid on it. This is
(26:28):
like a several years ago, it was like on Stag
and people get very upset. So is that going to all, oh,
that's incitement? Then how are we defining incitement? This is
the problem that I have with this. It opens up
so many other doors, and you're setting up a dangerous,
dangerous precedent because if you can, if you can define
(26:49):
what incitement is just simply based on dislike of it. Uh.
I mean, I hope that you are prepared to weather
the storm if we losing twenty eight, the hammer that
will come down on conservatives if you allow the left that,
how the hell do you think that that's going to
turn out if they ever get back in power. These
(27:11):
people are not thinking things through. This is what I'm saying,
you know, going back to my original point, you know,
getting upset over Trump for crime fighting crime. I mean,
that's dumb. There's things I don't agree with that require
legitimate dissent because this is an action of big government.
And this is one of two moves that this administration
(27:33):
has made in the past week that I don't agree with.
They've done a lot that I agree with, but I
also am not going to be held hostage and saying that, well,
you have to agree with every single thing the administration
does or you're not a patriot. Well that's un American.
That's some redcoat garbage. So that's reject that stuff. Because
we're going to talk about the government taking ownership, taking
(27:54):
a stake in intel. I got problems with that too.
What in the hell's happening? This is where nationalism isn't bad,
but there's too much of anything can be dangerous. Thanks

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Like Sam's Through the hour Glass, So are the days
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I took my grandson to see what was a movie
with a buzz, like.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Not that one, but the new buzz The light Year.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I think Cheeky Palmers in that movie, she plays like
the daughter. So we're watching it and the lady, which
is Kiky's mama, they move on into the spacehears they
moved down the line. They're like, then she had a baby?
Speaker 5 (00:38):
What a woman? Or my grandson in the middle of
the movie, like Papa sloop, How she have a baby
with a woman? She a woman?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I didn't come in for this show. I just came
to watch a damn movie. Hey, man, watch the movie.
Uh uh?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
They just said she and she had a baby.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
They both women. How does she have a baby?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Sh it?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
So it's like this, fuck me, I'm scared to go
to the movies. They're like, y'all throwing me in the
middle of that. I don't have an answer for it.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
You know, he's not wrong. I think it's hysterical. And
he's getting all kinds of hate for this too. Why
are they flaming him? So hard for I mean, it's
not to it's true. I mean, there's different ways.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
To to to showcase things like that in film, but
apparently what that film did is they just basically insinuated
that it is the same as just me and a
woman coupling and you know, having a baby.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Uh. And that's true.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
You want to go to a movie, especially if it's
the kids movie, and you don't want to have to
sit here and answer questions about this stuff. You want
to you want to escape. This is why isn't a
Disney movie. It's Disney so damn garbage. They opened up
the Pirates of the Caribbean bar somewhere.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I saw this.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I was almost gonna include it in my headlines, but
I'm like, they don't deserve it. You can open up
however many Pirates bars you went to, your trash, you're
still trash, trash. It's just nonsense. Nobody wants to have
to answer those kind of questions. It's something that if
people want to bring that up with their kids themselves
on their own timelines, that's their right to do it.
But incorporating things like this in a kid's movies, where
(02:16):
it's something that is way above their level of understanding,
and there's a lot of nuance and a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Of it's not for kids.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
It's not for kids, and it's not wrong to say
that there are certain things that are just way age inappropriate,
and that's one of them. I mean, this is just
(02:51):
so weak, dude. You can't even level up for nothing.
So this is ma'am, Danny. What was this that the
men's I was looking for the name of this aventas
some kind of I don't know, men's health thing and
he shows up and he's trying to do a bench press.
I can't tell what the hell the spotter's doing. There's
like barely any weight on this thing, and the spotter
(03:12):
is basically doing it for him. He's not letting it go. Man,
Danny could not do it without that guy doing it
for him. That is one of the most embarrassing things
I've ever seen. And I made this mention. I told
Kane this, and I'm sorry, but I've got it. You guys,
one of the reasons that you sit next to me
and we talk every day is because I say the
(03:34):
things you think. I don't know how this guy's wife
looks at him after that and wants to sleep with him.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's so that was natural birth control that I just watched.
That's that is so sad. That's I mean, I can
lift that. That's I can do that. That's that's oh man,
he should not struggle as a man that much with
Basically it's just the bar at that point, I I
and I get it that it was just this impromptu thing, right,
(04:03):
I get it. But the spotter, like, what is the
spot of trying to add more weight onto it?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Now, just let me entertain this for a moment.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Is the spotter to this, ma'am Donnie stunt trying to
add like push down on him almost?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Who's spots like that?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well? I guess he's used to spotting heavier weight, because
that's what you would do for somebody's struggling with heavier weight.
You want to make sure you've got one hand underneath,
one hand.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Over you never maybe because it's there's hard.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Some people that deadlift that way as well.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I have never seen anything like that with just that
kind of weight.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Uh, what are those on there?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Those aren't even twenty five's probably what is that on there?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If that? I think those are maybe twenties.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yeah, that's like those are the middle the middle those
are oh my gosh. I mean, at least help him
out and put like the oh what is the one
that everyone always says that they do know the type
of weightlifting where they crossed Vegieva jeez, So maybe it
could help him out and put those weird little CrossFit
rubber weights on that are like five pounds but they're
(05:13):
huge looking and they made they could have helped him
out and done that at least so that way he
looked real.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I would have done that if I was this guy,
you know, I would have just.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Kept the you know, kept the Victorian freak show going
and just put some fake ones on. That is just
it's so embarrassing. And I'm not the only one who
saw that. Obviously, all of his all of his competitors
seized on it. Man, it was Brooklyn Men's Days, what
it was.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
That's what I was looking.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
For, because at first I was like, why is he
doing this in the middle of the street. Did he
just like walk over and oh you're lifting, let me lift? No,
it was Brooklyn Men's Day, and I get the sense
that he was not expecting to do this. He completed
two assisted reps men he completed two assisted reps. I
(05:58):
can hear the ribbing. All the guys in the audience
are giving him right now. From here, I feel it.
I'm like, oh my gosh, two two assisted reps.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No reps.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Man scrawny is what Eric Adams called him. He goes
a lifetime of hard work versus a silver spoon. Eric
Adams went out there, and I mean just saying, right,
I can't believe I'm in a position of talking positively
about Eric Adams. This is why I hate the left.
Look what they've done to us. Look at what they've done.
Look what you did to my boy. Look what you
(06:33):
did to us. And even Cuomo got out there. So
now they're all out there lifting man Danny. That was
I know, I don't know. You don't go to a
men's Day event and celebrate masculinity.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Okay, you know what they did.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
They saw the HEG Seth and Rfkjunr video and then
they're like, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
What, why would you try to do You have got
to appeal to me. Oh my gosh, why dude, you
need to go on steroids? Like, why would you try
to even do that?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I believe that this was an actual strategy. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Oh my god, shares are in the corner. I I
just got to tell you. I'm I feel like I'm
not speaking for all ladies, but I feel that I
can speak for enough of us, sisters, right, enough of us,
especially as conservative ladies.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yes, strength absolutely matters.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
I'm not into the I'm not into the Bato shaped people,
you know what I mean, or the man Danny shaped
kind of people.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I want to feel like.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
If our car was going off a cliff, that my
husband could hold onto a tree and then literally hold
onto the car with one other hand and then shoot
another hand out of his neck and grab me and save.
I mean, I want to feel like that. I want
to not be able to get my hands around your arms.
That's what I want to do, and I don't care
(07:56):
how you achieve it. I don't my husband does not
takes or anything. I don't care how it's achieved. I'm
not throwing no shade on it if you do. I'm
just saying I don't want to be able to put
my hands around my husband's waist or his arms or
his legs. I don't want to do that. And I'm
not saying I want you to be, you know, morbidly
obese and seven pounds. But I don't. I don't want
(08:22):
to feel like we could wear the same shirt, right,
I don't want to be the same size as you.
I just I'm the woman, you know, it's me, So
I don't know that is a big deal. And I'm
very old school about this stuff, and I just feel
like this dude is too fem man. He's way too
He's a lady dude. He's I watched this and I'm like,
(08:44):
that man's poor wife can can And I have something
so inappropriate to say.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Go ahead, I'm just gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I know why you call him ma'm donny. No, ma'am,
it's ma'am donny.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You know what I wanted to say is can he
even lift? I just I'm asking for a friend, inquiring minds.
I mean, I don't want to be able to lift
the same as my husband, right. I want to just
(09:19):
collapse of exhaustion just looking at the weight that my
man does in the gym, you know what I mean.
I'm very old school about this stuff, so I don't know.
And when we're at the gym, my husband will spot me.
I'm not even gonna pretend that I can spot him.
But and he's just like with a finger like girder.
(09:40):
And here I'm like, and I'm pretty feeling pretty bad
ass for a lady. I'm doing a lot, you know,
And I'm just saying so I looked at this and
it hurt me. It hurt my soul, it hurt my heart,
and I'm like, m man like, how would like? How
does his lady even get romantical with Lah? Does that
(10:02):
mean I can't get away from this subject? This is
what is wrong with the left. You know why their
birth rates have fallen because look at their damn men.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Look at them men. Do you think them men could
storm beaches?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Do you think the men could fight off like a
horde of invaders?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Hell, they're tucking and calling themselves ladies. No, that's why
the birth rates are falling. Because the men are ugly,
they're weak, and they're thin, thin alarms, little noodle arms.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And then the women are bigger than the men.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Stab it good night. I don't care who gets offended
over that. It needs to be said. You know, we
need to go back to that good heavens. So as
you can imagine, now, Cuomo's getting in on it. I
don't help bust a blood vessel in his face. Let's
not do that. Is that gonna play though with New
(10:50):
York voters? I mean, that kind of stuff absolutely plays
with me. But I'm not a New York voter. I'm not,
you know, one of those. I think at this point,
if you're still living in New York, you're you know,
and and it's and you have a choice of leaving.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
It just feels like I don't Maybe it doesn't matter
to them, doesn't matter to them.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I honestly, I think it was focus grouped, and I'm
I couldn't be you know, overjoyed more about the whole idea,
just laughing about this whole thing. They literally had a
meeting and decided to do this. You know that they did.
Do you think that was just like some avant garde
thing that happened while he was getting a bag or something.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
No, he wasn't out, No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
No, They planned this. They actually this was a strategy
of theirs. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I don't and I sware I'm going to move off
of this.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
But I also don't know any man that would allow
another man unless he's lifting an ungodly amount of weight
and going for like a pr I do not know
anybody that would allow that kind of spotty and like.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do broke it off of it? I got this just like,
actually spot me, don't like help me?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
You know, I don't know any man that would subject
themselves to that publicly, even and Donnie was like, oh,
you could tell the dudes never lift you. Look at
his wrists. Look at the way he was lifting Win.
You know that's right, my comfort heavy one. It's like
I could toss him up into the sky, like what
is he doing? One could spin him on his finger.
(12:18):
This is just crazy. I don't know, but that's the
stuff that they're guys. We're gonna have to. We're gonna
have to. We're oh, gosh, help us all. I just
realized this. We're embarking on a new type of Democrat
electioneering where they're going to pretend to be tough. God
(12:39):
help us all. We are going to be subjected to this.
This is why this keeps happening. They're like, look, we're
talking tough. And then you got Newsom out there almost
stuttering when he drops an F bomb because he's so
unsure of himself.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
This word's too explosive to come out of my mouth.
I don't know, and I can't deal. And now they're
gonna try to outlift each other. Haven't help us all well?
Keltech the PR fifty seven. It is a rotary barrel

way that they accomplish this two ways. The innovative rotary

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Now all of the news you would probably miss it's
time for data's quick five.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
The purchases are getting canceled at a record rate, reports
The Hill. More thin, fifteen percent of home purchases fell
through last month. In total, fifty eight thousand US home
purchase agreements were canceled. Cancelations are most common in Texas
and Florida. Home sales, they said, are falling through the
highest rate in years. You got record prices, elevated mortgage rates,
(14:20):
economic uncertainty, A lot of people are walking away, and
so that's really destabilizing this whole market.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, this.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Protest as a newborn has been removed from its mother
in Greenland.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I don't know if it's a boy or girl.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
For the baby's mother in Greenland, because they were saying
that she underwent Danish authorities. She underwent a parenting competence
test and apparently, I guess didn't pass it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That's kind of terrifying.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
The local municipality took her baby into foster care. The mother,
who is eighteen, says she's only seen her daughter once.
They said that even though there's new law that bans
the controversial controversial psychometric assessment.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
On people with Greenlandic backgrounds.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
This woman who was born to Greenlandic parents, et cetera.
She gave birth our daughter and Copenhagen, and they apparently
they sent all the laws clear.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
What this is crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
They said that they started testing her before the announcement
that the ban was coming in and then when they
completed the test the law was in force. But because
I guess they started it before the law that banned
those psych psychometric tests went into effect, I guess it's
considered like allowable.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
This is insane.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Again, big government, Big government, guys, this is what you
get with it. This uh, a ninety two year old
sprinter is said to have the muscle cells of someone
who is in their twenties.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
She's uh lives in a Padua, Italy, so like Capadua's
you know, it's like north of Venice in northern Italy.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Five foot one a lade sprint ninety two years old.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
They said that she literally like her her muscle cells
look like they're muscle cells of somebody that are in
their twenties. They're studying her. She is like this champion sprinter.
She's been a champion sprinter her whole life. That's crazy.
We have more in store.

we've been talking about this flag burning thing. I don't
agree with it. I think that the government has absolutely
no business regulating speech. I don't care how vile someone
thinks flag burning is, which it is. You not liking
speech is not a reason to use the government to
(17:26):
limit it. So that's, you know, we got to think
of this stuff as well. This order that Potus is
put out where they want to prosecute people who burn
the American flag, and they want to reclassify it as
being an action that is tantamount to fighting words. So
they're trying to argue that it is unprotected speech because
(17:48):
it's fighting words. And for you to understand that, if
you're just tuning in and we talked a little bit
about this last hour, you have different forms of speech
that are protected in speech that isn't protected. What that
means is that you're protected from litigation. You're protecting from
the government persecuting you or prosecuting you. So libel, slander, defamation,
(18:10):
and then fighting words. Fighting words is an interesting thing
because it's specifically about incitement and incitement that is immediately
trying to get a retaliatory response.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And if you hear Wick, Wick is trying.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
To interject in here, he broke through his gait. He
desperately wants to be a studio pub I see you.
We're talking about libel and defamation. These are issues you
do not know about because you're a dog. He's confused,
he's looking at me.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So this.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Idea of this can being something that's this being fighting words,
I just don't think that's I don't think that's accurate.
I don't think that's I don't think that that it's uh,
I worry about reclassifying that. So, yeah, I worry about
him reclassifying that this is audio sound. Well, no, that's
(19:11):
that's Chicago. I don't want to play that four four.
So no, that's not what we're that's not No, that's
not it. That's crime coverage. That's not the flag though. No.
So this idea that you're going to reclassify this as
being an unprotected form of speech, again, I don't care
(19:33):
how viol it is. That's not the litmus as to
whether or not it should be protected or not. Here's
one thing I shure as hell, No, I don't want
to hear from the left on this at all.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I don't want to hear from the left on this
at all, because if you remember, we have had going
to pull this up, we have had these issues where
people have been charged for driving over pride flags. Right,
so they've been there's one instance where you've had two kids.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Do you remember this.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
I think it was in like Florida where there were
kids that had like their little bikes and they were
driving across these crosswalks that had been painted like Pride flags,
and oh, my gosh, they left tire marks, and so
they were talking about charging these kids. There was a
guy this was in We pulled this up because I
had this story. I think this was like Delray Beach. No,
(20:29):
well here's one team. This is the team facing felony
charges for leaving tire marks on Alphabet Pride intersection. I
mean they painted the Pride flag on the street and
people drive over.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Came where to cars go?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Okay, yeah, that's where they go. They go on the street,
and when you drive over the street sometimes you leave
tire marks, especially if it's like a newly painted thing,
which that was. They were going to go after. Delray
Beach was going to go after this nineteen year old
because they said that he left tire marks on an
(21:05):
intersection and thus that's considered vandalizing it. So the Left
has nothing to say about this. They have tried to
go after people who have burned alphabet flags and all
this other stuff for I don't know how long. The
BLM stuff. They went after people who drove over like
BLM things, whether it was like in New York or
(21:25):
in Florida or California or wherever. So the Left has
no nothing to stand on with this. I just think
that this is a slippery slope, right, And Lorraine brings
up a very good point for the people who are
talking about the flag. I mean, I think there needs
to be consistency. You're not supposed to wear it as
a shirt, you're not supposed to write on it, you're
(21:47):
not supposed to have I mean, and we see that
a lot, like you're not even no, you're not supposed
to have an American flag button up. No, that's like
a repurposing of it. That's actually against flag code US
flag code. But we've also had these cases too in
nineteen ninety, as she notes, Texas v.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Johnson.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Now this was actually it's nineteen eighty nine Texas v. Johnson,
where the court has never held that desecration that is
in any way done, that it amounts to incitement or
fighting words. In fact what they said, and this was
(22:26):
the case. There are a couple of cases Texas v.
Johnson eighty nine, United States v. Eikman in nineteen ninety
both ruled that desecrating the American flag as a form
of political protest is a form of symbolic speech protected
by the First Amendment. The Court of Firm that while
society may find flag burning offensive, the government cannot suppress
this form of expression simply because of its controversial nature.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
And I think that that's true.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
This edict is not going to stand because it's going
to get overturned in court and we're going to have
to spend.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Tax dollars to litigate it. And that's what aggravates me.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Sorry, but we don't have that kind of I mean,
we're all taxed to death and are we're broke. We
don't have the time and the bandwidth to sit here
and start trying to defend against litigation that should never
even be happening. Because this is I don't see why
this Now, there are other things that I like that
he's done, but I don't like this. I don't like
(23:15):
this also because of everything that we all just went
through the past eight years with different government agencies trying
to silence people and trying to argue that you asking
questions about ivermectin online is tantamount to misinformation and that
enough of this misinformation is going to be a threat
to American health and that constitutes a national security threat.
(23:36):
So that's why we the government are going to press
upon these these social media companies to shut people down
that do this. We are all still living, many of
us with the consequences of those actions from the previous administration.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
You know, we went through the whole we had.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I mean I lost my damn social media accounts because
I simply asked about the laptop story. I didn't even
tweet the New York Post laptop story. I wrote about
it on my newsletter and then I tweeted it out.
But because it was about the laptop story, I ended
up losing for several days my social media accounts. They
(24:14):
I put a strike against me over at YouTube. I
was briefly suspended on Instagram, I was briefly suspended on
x I got locked out in Facebook YouTube they I mean,
it was nuts all because we were asking questions about
a very legitimate thing. So I am absolutely completely one
thousand percent against the administration doing this. And again that
(24:36):
is completely separate from how vile you think flag burning is.
Nobody likes flag burning. I think it's I don't know
why people do it. I mean, it's the greatest nation
in the land, even with all of our problems. Still
it's heads and shoulders above everybody else. And that's just
the truth of it. You don't even have to classify
yourself as a nationalist to observe this accurately. But my
(24:57):
point is is that the flag burning is vibe well,
but that is not justification to set an earth shattering
precedent that will affect so many aspects of American culture, law, etc.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Policy.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Because it's built on a dislike of something. Someone's dislike
of it is not enough of a legitimate reason to
use the government to control it. And this is where
I get very very nervous with this stuff. There is
no reason.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I have something to add to it too, because the
way they described it today was like, well, if there's
an incitement or some underlying crime, we can go after
them and not run a file of the First Amendment.
And it's like, well, if that's the case, then we
should be able to prosecute based on those other crimes.
Why are we doing this with the flag burning. If
there's property damage, you go after him for that. If
(25:53):
you're not supposed to be burning in a public place,
no matter what it is, whether it sticks or a flag,
there's an avenue there. Why do we have to do
this and label it as an EO and a flag
burning thing.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
And the other thing too is.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
If this is going to be constituted as incitement, then
what happens if someone's wearing a flag? No? What if
you just have like a flag jacket on a lot
of people consider that to be very disrespectful. I mean
I've seen people get mad because someone had an American
flag beach towel and they laid on it. This is
(26:28):
like a several years ago, it was like on Stag
and people get very upset. So is that going to all, oh,
that's incitement? Then how are we defining incitement? This is
the problem that I have with this. It opens up
so many other doors, and you're setting up a dangerous,
dangerous precedent because if you can, if you can define
(26:49):
what incitement is just simply based on dislike of it. Uh.
I mean, I hope that you are prepared to weather
the storm if we losing twenty eight, the hammer that
will come down on conservatives if you allow the left that,
how the hell do you think that that's going to
turn out if they ever get back in power. These
(27:11):
people are not thinking things through. This is what I'm saying,
you know, going back to my original point, you know,
getting upset over Trump for crime fighting crime. I mean,
that's dumb. There's things I don't agree with that require
legitimate dissent because this is an action of big government.
And this is one of two moves that this administration
(27:33):
has made in the past week that I don't agree with.
They've done a lot that I agree with, but I
also am not going to be held hostage and saying that, well,
you have to agree with every single thing the administration
does or you're not a patriot. Well that's un American.
That's some redcoat garbage. So that's reject that stuff. Because
we're going to talk about the government taking ownership, taking
(27:54):
a stake in intel. I got problems with that too.
What in the hell's happening? This is where nationalism isn't bad,
but there's too much of anything can be dangerous. Thanks
