Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. So a Florida man.
According to Fox Study five, Orlandohid in a McDonald's trash compactor after he
(00:21):
fled a traffic stop. According todeputies, Florida man was found hiding in
this trash compactor. Danilo Melendez Juniorwas arrested after on several charges including possession
of drugs blah blah blah blah blah, meth math, meth, meth drug,
meth equipment, meth resisting aras METHU. They stopped him in the middle
(00:41):
of the night on Saturday, andhe was riding a bike that didn't have
lights of reflectors and he was towinga homemade wagon. The story gets better
and better, and they said hegot he got agitated after they can you
is it still pulling someone over ifthey're on a unlit bicycle with a homemade
wagon. He totally tested. Theytested the stuff that he had and of
(01:02):
course it had meth all over it. Right before they were going to handcuff
him, he ran away and hetried to hide in a nearby trash compactor
at McDonald's, or as my grandmotherwould say, MacDonald's. And uh,
that's yeah, they totally got him. They didn't. He did not get
away. He didn't get away.On that one, a Florida man set
fire to a car that belonged toan ex girlfriend who also happened to be
(01:25):
his cousin. Say police, MelvinCentron is his name? Is the man's
name? Uh, he's he gotin trouble. Uh this They said that
it was he. They it wasa ring doorbell camera that caught him.
He was apparently pouring liquid on thecar and it was gash and then he
(01:46):
ignited it. So officers came out. They found a four door Ja Jagua
heavily damaged by fire upon arrival.Uh the car sustained have a damage obviously.
Blah blah blah. Let's get tothe good stuff. Police determined that
the victim is a relative of Centron. He kept saying it was his ex
and actually it was his cousin andthey were dating and they're weird. So
(02:10):
there you go. That's they justgot better and better. Oh my goodness,
that story also, but wait,there's more. I've been waiting to
get to this one. This hasto do with sharks, says in Pensacola,
the headline says, look at themfreaking teeth. Pensacola beach goers rescue
(02:31):
a shark that was washed ashore andit did have a crazy teeth. I
have to say, it looks prettycrazy. The people Gosh, your pop
up ads make me hate your product. I just gotta say. The people
they saved it. It was abeached make a shark. It began flapping.
(02:51):
All of that. They won.Rescuer tugged the sharks, tailing to
get them. May go back intothe water and then we're swimming away.
But as it they said, itwas clearly sick or injured. And one
of the women in the video honeameis Tina Fey, but not that Tina
Fey and Chi Kick. We'll lookat them tea. As students begin heading
back to school, do you thinkthey'll be learning about the founding principles that
(03:12):
made America the freest and most prosperousnation in history. Will they learn that
our unalienable rights are God given andnot granted by government. Will they be
given a full and honest account ofour nation's history? The answer to all
of these questions is yes for studentsat Hillsdale College. In addition to teaching
college students, Hillsdale has extended itsteaching to K through twelve students and lifelong
learners like you. If you're notdoing so already. One of the best

got this in your prep Brandon Johnson, the Democrat mayor. Right. He
(04:20):
wants to create city run grocery storesto promote equitable access to food because see
Walmart and Whole Foods they close becauseof crime. You know, Whole Foods,
the bougie food store where it's likefive thousand dollars for a young coconut,
which is like the best coconuts tomake meringue with. He uh,
(04:42):
He's saying that they need they needto promote equitable access to food. Well,
who's impeding the equitable access to food? Pray tell mister mayor, who
is it that is impeding the equitableaccess to food? Is it the repeat
violent offenders who may rape or mugpeople if they try to access food?
(05:05):
Or is it the food stores thatare like or no one's coming because they
don't want to get raped and mugged. So we gotta go, who is
it, mister Mayor that is impedingthe access to equitable access to food?
And that situation, So he saysthat he has to they want to target
(05:28):
the food deserts. Sounds like someSam set up for a Sam Kennison joke.
He says that the new moves arequote to help repair past toms that
have contributed to purposeful disinvestment and inexclusion and lack of food access in historically
(05:48):
undeserved communities. So he acts likeWhole Foods was sitting around going, you
know what, we don't want minoritiesin Chicago to be able to get food.
Let's close the store. I'm notkidding you. That's how they act.
Like this decision came about we don'twant minorities in Chicago being able to
(06:13):
purchase food, so let's close thestores, closed the doors. Yes,
that's a sound business decision because whenhe talks about repairing past harms, it's
a little difficult to repair past harmswhen you keep perpetuating existing harms. You
know what I mean, Like it'sthe same repeat offenders that are causing all
(06:33):
the crimes. That's what I mean. And as Kane noted, we talked
about this adjusted Trudeau yesterday. Theydon't want to blame their own policies.
They want to blame the grocery stores. No, it's not the mayor's fault
for not wanting to go after misdemeanorsand for wrist slapping these criminals. It's
you rat bastard grocery stores for beingracists. Wait a minute, they no
(06:55):
one's coming to shop there because they'reall getting raped and killed and mugged.
Yes, but you're racist. Youshould still open and keep your doors open.
What I mean, he goes,He actually said this. He goes,
quote, all Chicagoans deserved to livenear convenient, affordable, healthy grocery
options. You know what would begreat is if this mayor actually believed that
(07:17):
all Chicagoans deserved not to get rapedand robbed and mugged and beaten, and
also could go to grocery stores withoutbeing raped or mugged or robbed or beaten.
It would be great if he thatwas actually a priority for him.
But it's not. He's like,forget about the raping and the beaten and
the ribbing and the mugging. Thegrocery stores though, like they need to
(07:42):
be. It's racist for you toleave and not provide access to food.
Well, some might argue that it'sracist for you to keep allowing Chicagoans to
be raped and mugged and beaten androbbed because you refuse to enforce the law
and you encourage restorative justice. Thatis coddling these criminals who thrive on the
indulgence of the policies that your citizenspay with their asses. That's what this
(08:09):
is. And instead it's everyone else'sproblem. Let's see, we have a
we have a rampant crime. Whatcould be causing it? Certainly not our
policies must be the grocery stores,it's their fault, damn whole foods.
I knew they were plague upon theearth. I knew it. I mean,
(08:31):
I can't believe I'm defending them.But my biggest complaint were the hippies.
But you never had to worry aboutanything, you know, with the
hippies. They just smelled like pachuli. That was it, right, that
was it, you know. Andthey would have hemp grocery bags that like
shed like a jute rug. Imean, that's it. I don't know,
(08:54):
he says that they I mean they'rereally wanting to I think that the
state should should dive into this andactually like help make this happen. They
want state and federal tax dollars forthis initiative. Or I mean, it's
(09:16):
crazy. You could enforce laws andget the criminals off the streets because that's
why everybody's leaving. And then yougot I mean, in Washington, DC,
it's so bad. We told youbefore that people don't even want to
walk out in the day. Theywant to walk outside during the day.
It's horrific, the crime, Ihave to tell you. So over the
(09:41):
weekend, we had family weekend atmy kids college and we went out to
eat. There was a table citynext to us, and they were from
New Mexico. Now, what wereyou all talking about last week? But
New Mexico and the governor and Albuquerque. One of the people the table was
saying that the crime and Alibuquerque wasso bad they left, they moved out
(10:01):
of the town. She was sayingthat she used to be able to walk
her dog and that because it soundedlike she was an older woman, and
she was an older woman, soundlike she was an empty nust her.
And she used to say that shewas. She would go out and she
used to walk her dog and allthe stuff. And now she and she
got so scared because there was somuch crime. And she said it was
(10:24):
just like you know, people wouldyou know, the cops would be called
and they would arrest people and theywould have to release them, I mean,
and then they just stopped and forcinga lot of stuff because they were
told not to go after misdemeanors.And she said it got so bad she
sold her house and moved. Interesting, is it not. You've heard me
rave about the Celtic KSG shotgun fora long time, and the fact is
I cannot say enough good things aboutit. I mean, the KSG is
(10:46):
the one that started at all,made ordinary shotguns obsolete, and still reigned
supreme. But the big reason Ikeep raving about it is I'm also the
proud owner of one at least,and trust me, I really put KSG
to the test before adding it tomy collection. It's perfect for home defense
or tactical situations, and this twelvegauge is a reliable go to that's easy
(11:07):
to handle for everyone. The KSGshotgun is the first twelve gauge pump action
shotgun chamber for three in shells,and with dual two magazines, offers a
capacity of twelve plus one. It'sdownward shell ejection makes the KSG truly embidextrous
and eject shells away from your face. It's compact, lightweight, and easy
to maneuver and control. Learn moreabout the KSHG shotgun at celtech weapons dot

k e l Tec Weapons dot comand now all of the news you would
probably miss. It's time for Dana'sQuick five. So a St. Louis
restaurant called Social Bar and Grill isstupidly accused of racism because of their long
(11:52):
list of basic rules that include nohoodies, saggy pants, or sleeveless tank
tops on men. It's in suLard, literally right where I used to
live in downtown Saint Louis. Theyenacted the new dining rules and dress code
earlier this month, and all thesepeople went on Reddit to bitch and moan
because they're total loser batas and theyapparently don't know how to dress when they
(12:15):
exit their house. If you cannotcover your a double snakes when you go
to a restaurant, if you can'twear a shirt with sleeves, or if
you can't not dress like a basicbitch, then maybe don't go out to
eat. Maybe stay at home inyour hobbit hole and shave your back.
It's like their dress codes better thanthe Senate. I'm coming back to this
right because this is It's like isthis John Fetterman is mad over all of
(12:37):
this so stupid? This is sostupid. Shut up. This is why
we can't have nice things because ofloser morons. Can you tell that I've
had a day, It's not evenlike noon, all right, So Clorox
man, I'm gonna tell you something. Dana is always prepared, always prepared.
I went and I literally was goingto take a picture of what was
(12:58):
in my prepper pantry and then hatmyself on the back. But I thought
it was, you know, maybeobnoxiously bragging. Clorox says that last month's
cyber attack is disrupting their production.As a result, the company I didn't
even know they had one. Thecompany is scaling back their order processing,
so fewer products are actually making theirway onto store shelves, so they're not
going to have a lot of Clorox. And again, Dana doesn't have that
(13:20):
problem. I have like a wholeClorox sexione I do. So they said
they ended there that that cyber attackon August fourteenth, but they said their
systems were breached and there were allkinds of problems, and so that's uh,
that's I still I don't have toworry about that. Think you ask
the national debt hits thirty three trilliondollars for the first time in history.
(13:43):
Meanwhile, you have the moderate Republicansin the House that are trying to push
for a cr while the fiscally responsibleRepublicans in the House are saying, no,
we're tired of kicking the can downthe road. We need to solve
this issue, and we need peoplewho are serious about solving it with us.
So it's a dangerous new milestone.Thirty three trillion dollars and this is
(14:05):
what we owe our creditors thirty threeoh sorry, thirty three point four trillion.
It's growing. I mean it washovering around nine hundred and seven billion
just forty years ago. And nowwhere I will say that the pandemic,
you know, and stupidly shutting downthe most powerful economy in the world,
contributed to that. But here weare also. I am really into this.
(14:30):
I'm really into this headline. Twothousand rhinos free, two good homes
that have space. Dude, right, I mean I know they're kind of
jerks sometimes, but I mean,so who isn't I heard of two hundred
thousand or sorry, I heard oftwo thousand. Right now, services urgently
need of a new owner. Theyfound one. They've they've been in a
(14:50):
farm in South Africa. They werepurchased by a conservation group. They're they're
planning to release them into the wild. It's the southern white rhino that's the
largest population of other kind. Theywere put for auction in April, starting
price at ten million. Nobody cameforward. Then they're like, okay,
we'll give him out. I wouldhave totally taken a rhino. I don't
know how many I can put on. You know what acred you need,
but I would have taken it.Stay with us. People are canceling Russell
(15:11):
brand. He got demonetized on YouTubeand he's being called a predator, and
there's all these accusations and uh thislike there are women who said that he's
a predator, that he's sexually aggressive. I said yesterday that he reminds me
(15:33):
of a scheezy Dudley Moore. Doyou guys know who Dudley More is?
You know who Dudley More is.I don't know what he was in.
I just know who he was.He had the same haircut that Ronnie Wood
does from the Rolling Stones, didn'the? So he did? That's like
what is with that? That's likethe Karen cut there John plus eight John
and Kate plus eight cut for butfor men that's the men's John and Kate
(15:58):
plus eight cut. So he hadthe Ronnie Wood cut from Rolling Stone.
He's like a skeezy Dudley Moore.Anyway, that's kind of his whole persona.
I always I never really I neverreally actually thought he was funny.
I just thought he was kind ofI don't know, but that's irrelevant because
he's being accused and all you haveto do is be accused in our social
media environment, and then you're convictedin the court of public opinion. And
(16:19):
as you know, the court ofpublic opinion is the jurors in the court
of public opinion are the biggest moronsin in the world. They're always the
stupidest people who are always the mosteager and the quickest to pass judgment.
And so some some have said,you know, they always knew he was
(16:40):
sexual aggressive, and he always saidthat everything he had was consentual. I
just I just think you kind ofknow who he is. And also he
might be tall, but he's skinny. I'm pretty sure I could kick his
ass. I think I could.I just take and it wouldn't be like
pulling him by, just kick himinto jimmies and then hit him in the
neck. I mean, it's likeall I gotta do. But that's like
his whole persona. So anyway,he was he was dropped by his management
(17:03):
company last night. This like thisheadline came in the middle of the night.
YouTube demonetized him because he's been accusedof being a predator. But they're
just allegations. All it is isjust they're only allegations. Nothing so far
has been substantiated by any kind ofevidence. It's like me too, two
point zero all over again. AndI said on social media, I said,
(17:26):
you know, very conveniently, thishappened after he started to espouse wrong
think. Do you know, Kane, you're going to enjoy this one particularly.
So one of the headlines that Isaw this morning said that he knew
that these accusations were coming, andso he decided long ago to cultivate to
groom, as it were, tocultivate this whole online squad to defend him
(17:52):
when these accusations finally came forth.That's the newest line of attack. Well,
m so premeditative protection. Yeah,that's what they're saying, got it.
I know they're they're trying to saythat as a defense for he spoke
wrong. He spoke wrong think,But I mean, think about it.
He you kind of knew he wasalways skisy. I mean, he never
(18:15):
lied about being skiezy, right,they had this video clip that was making
the rounds yesterday of him on atalk show with Katherine McPhee. I don't
really know who she is, andI guess she's like some singer. Yeah,
she was on American Idol. Idon't ever watch that. You know
why, because I like good television. She was on a TV show.
Actually, I hate television and Ihate crap programming, so I never watched
that. Gotcha hate it today?But she did a separate TV show as
(18:37):
well. I'm good for her andactress, but I have to say,
it's like she seemed very common,she seemed very sensible because they were trying
to use her as their straw manfor all of this. I'll look how
uncomfortable she looked. She was onwith him, and he grabbed her and
he was going to have her siton his lap, and she was like,
you guys are making so much outof this. She's like, it
wasn't that at all. I youknow, I don't know. I just
(19:02):
it's weird because it's like everybody knowsyou that was his whole persona. His
whole persona was that he was aman whore. And it was kind of
funny because he was so scheezy,and he just didn't care. It's not
like something you want to emulate.It's just it was just it almost seemed
like a caricature of an aspect ofculture, of human culture. And now
(19:23):
it's being put up like, ohmy gosh, he's like the newest Harvey
Weinstein, and it feels like afeeding frenzy. And I do get the
impression that there are a lot ofpeople rushing to take a bite out of
him that are doing so because theythink it's going to translate into fifteen minutes
of fame. Doesn't it seem likethat, like he's being he's having his
(19:44):
life canceled based on allegations. AndI've told you how I feel about that.
I think particularly, I think ifwomen falsely accused a man, I
think they should be dragged tenfold.Oh yeah, I think their punishment,
their penalty should be ten fold.Those are bitches that falsely accused dudes.
And you know what, I actuallyvolunteered to take care of the penalty for
(20:07):
you, like, just put mein a cage with them, because I'm
so tired of this stuff. Ithink these kinds, I think women who
engage in that false accusation behavior,they set women back. They actually do
a disservice to women. It's aninsult to female them. But this is
all it's all allegation. It's allallegation. There's nothing. This is sort
(20:27):
of My friend Carol Roth remarked thatthis was kind of like the Chinese social
credit score stuff, that this is. This is what it's like. It's
Chinese social credit score. You justyou don't really need to have any kind
of evidence, you don't really needto be convicted. You just have to
be accused of any kind of wrongdoing. And I just also think it came
makes this point that if there wassomething that was really here, why are
(20:52):
it's only all coming out now?Number One, it didn't come out during
me too. It didn't come outduring the Weinstein era when everybody was they
were going after everybody. That seemslike that's the time that that would that
you would have started all of that, and they didn't go to law enforcement.
You go to the court of publicopinion and instead of going to law
(21:12):
enforcement. I mean, if aguy had done something to me and I
felt like it, you know,it crossed the line and it was legally
actionable. Oh my gosh. Iwould have made his life a living hell.
I would have taken it to authorities. I would have gone to a
court of public opinion and try toget media attention for myself. I'm not
saying that every person in this situationis doing it, but I'm telling you
(21:33):
it just seems really weird to methat as soon as he started saying wrong
think, then all of a sudden, these accusations started to fly. I
don't even care if he's your crepeteor not. I mean, at one
point, I think it almost seemslike we're getting to this rubicon of every
man is going to be accused atone point in their life simply just because
they were a man. They're aman, not because they engaged in any
(21:55):
kind of behavior. But it almostseems like at some point every man will
have been accused of some impropriety,mostly falsely by women, just because there
are men. I feel like we'regetting to that point. Does it feel
like we're getting to that point?This is the military, the militant matriarchy,
that's what this is. Oh,if he gets out of line,
they're gonna pounce with this kind ofinformation. I just I don't know.
(22:19):
I also think too. I canI just be real. I roll my
eyes when chicks say that somebody makesa sexual comment towards them. I just
maybe it's because I'm just a differentkind of person. I am very aggressive
and if a dude, and I'vebeen in situations political and otherwise where you
(22:40):
know, a guy thought that,even as a grown married woman, someone
thought they would be able to saysomething sly to me. I will literally
absolutely turn you into a verbal Iwill verbally eunich you. It just doesn't
happen. It doesn't happen like that. I can't remember. I was at
some kind of dinner at one pointand it was a will say it was
(23:00):
like a bipartisan thing. It waslike some awards thing, and I didn't
want to go because I hate thesestupid things. There was someone at the
table who had like made a commentI can't even remember, and I before
I even said anything, I justruined the man's life at the table in
front of everybody. I just didn'tgive a rat's backside. And I just
you know. And my husband ismore than equipped to handle things, but
(23:21):
he also realizes that sometimes the meanestperson in the room can be the woman
and his kne knows, So Ijust I don't know, maybe I just
look at it differently than that,like I always look at it like,
uh, you know, you getto choose the energy that I have.

dot com. That's Dana four Hillsdaledot com. The Chicago mayor, you
got this in your prep Brandon Johnson, the Democrat mayor. Right. He
(04:20):
wants to create city run grocery storesto promote equitable access to food because see
Walmart and Whole Foods they close becauseof crime. You know, Whole Foods,
the bougie food store where it's likefive thousand dollars for a young coconut,
which is like the best coconuts tomake meringue with. He uh,
(04:42):
He's saying that they need they needto promote equitable access to food. Well,
who's impeding the equitable access to food? Pray tell mister mayor, who
is it that is impeding the equitableaccess to food? Is it the repeat
violent offenders who may rape or mugpeople if they try to access food?
(05:05):
Or is it the food stores thatare like or no one's coming because they
don't want to get raped and mugged. So we gotta go, who is
it, mister Mayor that is impedingthe access to equitable access to food?
And that situation, So he saysthat he has to they want to target
(05:28):
the food deserts. Sounds like someSam set up for a Sam Kennison joke.
He says that the new moves arequote to help repair past toms that
have contributed to purposeful disinvestment and inexclusion and lack of food access in historically
(05:48):
undeserved communities. So he acts likeWhole Foods was sitting around going, you
know what, we don't want minoritiesin Chicago to be able to get food.
Let's close the store. I'm notkidding you. That's how they act.
Like this decision came about we don'twant minorities in Chicago being able to
(06:13):
purchase food, so let's close thestores, closed the doors. Yes,
that's a sound business decision because whenhe talks about repairing past harms, it's
a little difficult to repair past harmswhen you keep perpetuating existing harms. You
know what I mean, Like it'sthe same repeat offenders that are causing all
(06:33):
the crimes. That's what I mean. And as Kane noted, we talked
about this adjusted Trudeau yesterday. Theydon't want to blame their own policies.
They want to blame the grocery stores. No, it's not the mayor's fault
for not wanting to go after misdemeanorsand for wrist slapping these criminals. It's
you rat bastard grocery stores for beingracists. Wait a minute, they no
(06:55):
one's coming to shop there because they'reall getting raped and killed and mugged.
Yes, but you're racist. Youshould still open and keep your doors open.
What I mean, he goes,He actually said this. He goes,
quote, all Chicagoans deserved to livenear convenient, affordable, healthy grocery
options. You know what would begreat is if this mayor actually believed that
(07:17):
all Chicagoans deserved not to get rapedand robbed and mugged and beaten, and
also could go to grocery stores withoutbeing raped or mugged or robbed or beaten.
It would be great if he thatwas actually a priority for him.
But it's not. He's like,forget about the raping and the beaten and
the ribbing and the mugging. Thegrocery stores though, like they need to
(07:42):
be. It's racist for you toleave and not provide access to food.
Well, some might argue that it'sracist for you to keep allowing Chicagoans to
be raped and mugged and beaten androbbed because you refuse to enforce the law
and you encourage restorative justice. Thatis coddling these criminals who thrive on the
indulgence of the policies that your citizenspay with their asses. That's what this
(08:09):
is. And instead it's everyone else'sproblem. Let's see, we have a
we have a rampant crime. Whatcould be causing it? Certainly not our
policies must be the grocery stores,it's their fault, damn whole foods.
I knew they were plague upon theearth. I knew it. I mean,
(08:31):
I can't believe I'm defending them.But my biggest complaint were the hippies.
But you never had to worry aboutanything, you know, with the
hippies. They just smelled like pachuli. That was it, right, that
was it, you know. Andthey would have hemp grocery bags that like
shed like a jute rug. Imean, that's it. I don't know,
(08:54):
he says that they I mean they'rereally wanting to I think that the
state should should dive into this andactually like help make this happen. They
want state and federal tax dollars forthis initiative. Or I mean, it's
(09:16):
crazy. You could enforce laws andget the criminals off the streets because that's
why everybody's leaving. And then yougot I mean, in Washington, DC,
it's so bad. We told youbefore that people don't even want to
walk out in the day. Theywant to walk outside during the day.
It's horrific, the crime, Ihave to tell you. So over the
(09:41):
weekend, we had family weekend atmy kids college and we went out to
eat. There was a table citynext to us, and they were from
New Mexico. Now, what wereyou all talking about last week? But
New Mexico and the governor and Albuquerque. One of the people the table was
saying that the crime and Alibuquerque wasso bad they left, they moved out
(10:01):
of the town. She was sayingthat she used to be able to walk
her dog and that because it soundedlike she was an older woman, and
she was an older woman, soundlike she was an empty nust her.
And she used to say that shewas. She would go out and she
used to walk her dog and allthe stuff. And now she and she
got so scared because there was somuch crime. And she said it was
(10:24):
just like you know, people wouldyou know, the cops would be called
and they would arrest people and theywould have to release them, I mean,
and then they just stopped and forcinga lot of stuff because they were
told not to go after misdemeanors.And she said it got so bad she
sold her house and moved. Interesting, is it not. You've heard me
rave about the Celtic KSG shotgun fora long time, and the fact is
I cannot say enough good things aboutit. I mean, the KSG is
(10:46):
the one that started at all,made ordinary shotguns obsolete, and still reigned
supreme. But the big reason Ikeep raving about it is I'm also the
proud owner of one at least,and trust me, I really put KSG
to the test before adding it tomy collection. It's perfect for home defense
or tactical situations, and this twelvegauge is a reliable go to that's easy
(11:07):
to handle for everyone. The KSGshotgun is the first twelve gauge pump action
shotgun chamber for three in shells,and with dual two magazines, offers a
capacity of twelve plus one. It'sdownward shell ejection makes the KSG truly embidextrous
and eject shells away from your face. It's compact, lightweight, and easy
to maneuver and control. Learn moreabout the KSHG shotgun at celtech weapons dot
(11:31):
com and follow celtech on social media. Visit keltech weapons dot com. That's
k e l Tec Weapons dot comand now all of the news you would
probably miss. It's time for Dana'sQuick five. So a St. Louis
restaurant called Social Bar and Grill isstupidly accused of racism because of their long
(11:52):
list of basic rules that include nohoodies, saggy pants, or sleeveless tank
tops on men. It's in suLard, literally right where I used to
live in downtown Saint Louis. Theyenacted the new dining rules and dress code
earlier this month, and all thesepeople went on Reddit to bitch and moan
because they're total loser batas and theyapparently don't know how to dress when they
(12:15):
exit their house. If you cannotcover your a double snakes when you go
to a restaurant, if you can'twear a shirt with sleeves, or if
you can't not dress like a basicbitch, then maybe don't go out to
eat. Maybe stay at home inyour hobbit hole and shave your back.
It's like their dress codes better thanthe Senate. I'm coming back to this
right because this is It's like isthis John Fetterman is mad over all of
(12:37):
this so stupid? This is sostupid. Shut up. This is why
we can't have nice things because ofloser morons. Can you tell that I've
had a day, It's not evenlike noon, all right, So Clorox
man, I'm gonna tell you something. Dana is always prepared, always prepared.
I went and I literally was goingto take a picture of what was
(12:58):
in my prepper pantry and then hatmyself on the back. But I thought
it was, you know, maybeobnoxiously bragging. Clorox says that last month's
cyber attack is disrupting their production.As a result, the company I didn't
even know they had one. Thecompany is scaling back their order processing,
so fewer products are actually making theirway onto store shelves, so they're not
going to have a lot of Clorox. And again, Dana doesn't have that
(13:20):
problem. I have like a wholeClorox sexione I do. So they said
they ended there that that cyber attackon August fourteenth, but they said their
systems were breached and there were allkinds of problems, and so that's uh,
that's I still I don't have toworry about that. Think you ask
the national debt hits thirty three trilliondollars for the first time in history.
(13:43):
Meanwhile, you have the moderate Republicansin the House that are trying to push
for a cr while the fiscally responsibleRepublicans in the House are saying, no,
we're tired of kicking the can downthe road. We need to solve
this issue, and we need peoplewho are serious about solving it with us.
So it's a dangerous new milestone.Thirty three trillion dollars and this is
(14:05):
what we owe our creditors thirty threeoh sorry, thirty three point four trillion.
It's growing. I mean it washovering around nine hundred and seven billion
just forty years ago. And nowwhere I will say that the pandemic,
you know, and stupidly shutting downthe most powerful economy in the world,
contributed to that. But here weare also. I am really into this.
(14:30):
I'm really into this headline. Twothousand rhinos free, two good homes
that have space. Dude, right, I mean I know they're kind of
jerks sometimes, but I mean,so who isn't I heard of two hundred
thousand or sorry, I heard oftwo thousand. Right now, services urgently
need of a new owner. Theyfound one. They've they've been in a
(14:50):
farm in South Africa. They werepurchased by a conservation group. They're they're
planning to release them into the wild. It's the southern white rhino that's the
largest population of other kind. Theywere put for auction in April, starting
price at ten million. Nobody cameforward. Then they're like, okay,
we'll give him out. I wouldhave totally taken a rhino. I don't
know how many I can put on. You know what acred you need,
but I would have taken it.Stay with us. People are canceling Russell
(15:11):
brand. He got demonetized on YouTubeand he's being called a predator, and
there's all these accusations and uh thislike there are women who said that he's
a predator, that he's sexually aggressive. I said yesterday that he reminds me
(15:33):
of a scheezy Dudley Moore. Doyou guys know who Dudley More is?
You know who Dudley More is.I don't know what he was in.
I just know who he was.He had the same haircut that Ronnie Wood
does from the Rolling Stones, didn'the? So he did? That's like
what is with that? That's likethe Karen cut there John plus eight John
and Kate plus eight cut for butfor men that's the men's John and Kate
(15:58):
plus eight cut. So he hadthe Ronnie Wood cut from Rolling Stone.
He's like a skeezy Dudley Moore.Anyway, that's kind of his whole persona.
I always I never really I neverreally actually thought he was funny.
I just thought he was kind ofI don't know, but that's irrelevant because
he's being accused and all you haveto do is be accused in our social
media environment, and then you're convictedin the court of public opinion. And
(16:19):
as you know, the court ofpublic opinion is the jurors in the court
of public opinion are the biggest moronsin in the world. They're always the
stupidest people who are always the mosteager and the quickest to pass judgment.
And so some some have said,you know, they always knew he was
(16:40):
sexual aggressive, and he always saidthat everything he had was consentual. I
just I just think you kind ofknow who he is. And also he
might be tall, but he's skinny. I'm pretty sure I could kick his
ass. I think I could.I just take and it wouldn't be like
pulling him by, just kick himinto jimmies and then hit him in the
neck. I mean, it's likeall I gotta do. But that's like
his whole persona. So anyway,he was he was dropped by his management
(17:03):
company last night. This like thisheadline came in the middle of the night.
YouTube demonetized him because he's been accusedof being a predator. But they're
just allegations. All it is isjust they're only allegations. Nothing so far
has been substantiated by any kind ofevidence. It's like me too, two
point zero all over again. AndI said on social media, I said,
(17:26):
you know, very conveniently, thishappened after he started to espouse wrong
think. Do you know, Kane, you're going to enjoy this one particularly.
So one of the headlines that Isaw this morning said that he knew
that these accusations were coming, andso he decided long ago to cultivate to
groom, as it were, tocultivate this whole online squad to defend him
(17:52):
when these accusations finally came forth.That's the newest line of attack. Well,
m so premeditative protection. Yeah,that's what they're saying, got it.
I know they're they're trying to saythat as a defense for he spoke
wrong. He spoke wrong think,But I mean, think about it.
He you kind of knew he wasalways skisy. I mean, he never
(18:15):
lied about being skiezy, right,they had this video clip that was making
the rounds yesterday of him on atalk show with Katherine McPhee. I don't
really know who she is, andI guess she's like some singer. Yeah,
she was on American Idol. Idon't ever watch that. You know
why, because I like good television. She was on a TV show.
Actually, I hate television and Ihate crap programming, so I never watched
that. Gotcha hate it today?But she did a separate TV show as
(18:37):
well. I'm good for her andactress, but I have to say,
it's like she seemed very common,she seemed very sensible because they were trying
to use her as their straw manfor all of this. I'll look how
uncomfortable she looked. She was onwith him, and he grabbed her and
he was going to have her siton his lap, and she was like,
you guys are making so much outof this. She's like, it
wasn't that at all. I youknow, I don't know. I just
(19:02):
it's weird because it's like everybody knowsyou that was his whole persona. His
whole persona was that he was aman whore. And it was kind of
funny because he was so scheezy,and he just didn't care. It's not
like something you want to emulate.It's just it was just it almost seemed
like a caricature of an aspect ofculture, of human culture. And now
(19:23):
it's being put up like, ohmy gosh, he's like the newest Harvey
Weinstein, and it feels like afeeding frenzy. And I do get the
impression that there are a lot ofpeople rushing to take a bite out of
him that are doing so because theythink it's going to translate into fifteen minutes
of fame. Doesn't it seem likethat, like he's being he's having his
(19:44):
life canceled based on allegations. AndI've told you how I feel about that.
I think particularly, I think ifwomen falsely accused a man, I
think they should be dragged tenfold.Oh yeah, I think their punishment,
their penalty should be ten fold.Those are bitches that falsely accused dudes.
And you know what, I actuallyvolunteered to take care of the penalty for
(20:07):
you, like, just put mein a cage with them, because I'm
so tired of this stuff. Ithink these kinds, I think women who
engage in that false accusation behavior,they set women back. They actually do
a disservice to women. It's aninsult to female them. But this is
all it's all allegation. It's allallegation. There's nothing. This is sort
(20:27):
of My friend Carol Roth remarked thatthis was kind of like the Chinese social
credit score stuff, that this is. This is what it's like. It's
Chinese social credit score. You justyou don't really need to have any kind
of evidence, you don't really needto be convicted. You just have to
be accused of any kind of wrongdoing. And I just also think it came
makes this point that if there wassomething that was really here, why are
(20:52):
it's only all coming out now?Number One, it didn't come out during
me too. It didn't come outduring the Weinstein era when everybody was they
were going after everybody. That seemslike that's the time that that would that
you would have started all of that, and they didn't go to law enforcement.
You go to the court of publicopinion and instead of going to law
(21:12):
enforcement. I mean, if aguy had done something to me and I
felt like it, you know,it crossed the line and it was legally
actionable. Oh my gosh. Iwould have made his life a living hell.
I would have taken it to authorities. I would have gone to a
court of public opinion and try toget media attention for myself. I'm not
saying that every person in this situationis doing it, but I'm telling you
(21:33):
it just seems really weird to methat as soon as he started saying wrong
think, then all of a sudden, these accusations started to fly. I
don't even care if he's your crepeteor not. I mean, at one
point, I think it almost seemslike we're getting to this rubicon of every
man is going to be accused atone point in their life simply just because
they were a man. They're aman, not because they engaged in any
(21:55):
kind of behavior. But it almostseems like at some point every man will
have been accused of some impropriety,mostly falsely by women, just because there
are men. I feel like we'regetting to that point. Does it feel
like we're getting to that point?This is the military, the militant matriarchy,
that's what this is. Oh,if he gets out of line,
they're gonna pounce with this kind ofinformation. I just I don't know.
(22:19):
I also think too. I canI just be real. I roll my
eyes when chicks say that somebody makesa sexual comment towards them. I just
maybe it's because I'm just a differentkind of person. I am very aggressive
and if a dude, and I'vebeen in situations political and otherwise where you
(22:40):
know, a guy thought that,even as a grown married woman, someone
thought they would be able to saysomething sly to me. I will literally
absolutely turn you into a verbal Iwill verbally eunich you. It just doesn't
happen. It doesn't happen like that. I can't remember. I was at
some kind of dinner at one pointand it was a will say it was
(23:00):
like a bipartisan thing. It waslike some awards thing, and I didn't
want to go because I hate thesestupid things. There was someone at the
table who had like made a commentI can't even remember, and I before
I even said anything, I justruined the man's life at the table in
front of everybody. I just didn'tgive a rat's backside. And I just
you know. And my husband ismore than equipped to handle things, but
(23:21):
he also realizes that sometimes the meanestperson in the room can be the woman
and his kne knows, So Ijust I don't know, maybe I just
look at it differently than that,like I always look at it like,
uh, you know, you getto choose the energy that I have.
