Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. Imagine having to fight an
alligator for a lawn chair in Florida. That's literally the only sentence that you
can say that makes sense only inFlorida, nowhere else. One Facebook user
(00:26):
showed Guappo the Greedy alligator at theEverglades Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale. Apparently
likes to take people's lawn chairs,and there's a video of him taking someone's
lawn chair. Florida Fish and Wildlifesay that alligators, like you know,
obviously they need external heat sources,so they bask in the sun, and
Guappo the Greedy Alligator thought that chairwas a great way to do. I
(00:47):
mean, I don't think I'm gonnafight him for it. Not no way,
no way. Yeah, I meango ahead and have that, go
ahead and take it, just haveit. A Florida man is charged with
stealing a stag during thirteen hundred gallonsof wah wah gas. It's the wah
wah. Yeah, Oh my gosh, this is crazy. So this dude
(01:12):
nine thousand dollars that's looking for ninethousand dollars worth of gas from wawall locations
in Orange County, Florida. Lastyear. Garrison Perez was charged with three
kinds of grandif one kind of ascheme to defraud on Friday, and he
was arrested on an active warrant.Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced
the arrest, and he was alsoarrested by Orlando Police for fuel theft August
(01:33):
of last year three separate wah wahlocations. He targeted thirteen hundred gallons of
fuel stolen, totaling more than ninethousand dollars in value. And he's on
video all doing all on all ofthis stuff, and apparently he's got a
couple of other charges against him too. But I mean, of all the
(01:55):
things to do that, that's notvery It's I mean, you can't really
do that surreptitious, you know whatI mean. You can't. That's not
It's not something that you can justlike, uh do without being caught.
I don't know some of these people. Uh let's see here, Okay,
So this guy, seventy eight yearold Florida maham killed it. It was
(02:16):
shot at his neighbor because the neighbortrimmed his trees over the property line.
Oh my gosh. So Edward DrusolowskiDruzalewski, Drusalowski, yeah, from Delian
Springs, was booked into Lucia CountyJail's Sunday, second degree murder. He
killed this dude. He killed theforty two year olds. This is a
(02:37):
seventy eight year old. You knowwhat you say, elderly people aren't innocent.
This uh, seventy eight year oldshot and killed this forty two year
old came yeah, okay. BrianFord was trimming tree limbs along the fence
line and Druzalowski confronted him about beingon his property and he told detectives he
(02:58):
told forty was going to kill him, and when forty and leave, he
killed it. There were two nineone one calls that came in. Paramedics
arrived, but they couldn't revive theguy. And Drusalowski's being helped without bond
pending initial court appearance. So he'sgot a second agree murder charge that's like
minimum of sixteen years sixteen and ahalf years, and he could get maximum
of life in prison. I don'tsee how this is someone was like,
(03:21):
well, was it a standiar ground? Doesn't sound like it. It doesn't
sound like it was a standard groundat all. It sounds like this guy
got mad because this dude was trimand trees. That's what it sounds like.
And a black bear sighting in atree at disney World triggers a located
the closure of the Magic Kingdom onwhat They're still in the headlines after all.
The Borda Fish and Wildlife said thatthey successfully captured the adult female bear
and they're going to relocate it toa national forest. But there was aerial
(03:43):
footage they found the baron a tree. It's a barren a tree. You've
heard me rave about the Celtic KSGshotgun for a long time, and the
fact is I cannot say enough goodthings about it. I mean, the
KSG is the one that started atall, made ordinary shotguns obsolete and still
reign supreme. But the big reasonI keep raving about it is I'm also
the proud owner of one at least, and trust me, I really put
(04:08):
the KSG to the test before addingit to my collection. It's perfect for
home defense or tactical situations. Andthis twelve gauge is a reliable go to
that's easy to handle for everyone.The KSG shotgun is the first twelve gauge
pump action shotgun chamber for three inshells and with dual two magazines, offers
a capacity of twelve plus one.It's downward shell ejection makes the KSG truly
(04:29):
embidextrous and eject shells away from yourface. It's compact, lightweight, and
easy to maneuver and control. Learnmore about the KSHG shotgun at keeltech weapons
dot com and follow celtech on socialmedia. Visit keltech weapons dot com.
That's k e l Tec weapons dotcom. Speaking of big whiny babies,
(04:55):
I can't even believe this is anactual headline, buttons balls it is.
You know how, anytime anybody,any time a Republican, let me just
put it like that, anytime aRepublican were to say anything hurtful I guess
(05:15):
too, or that hurts the feelingsof a journalist or criticizes their work or
something like that, you always haveother journalists run out and claim that,
oh, it's sanctity of the press, the sanctity of the free press.
You guys are so mean. Oh, all the time, like you heard
(05:38):
that all the time. I ranacross this headline and I thought it was
actually kind of funny until I realizedthat it was our taxpayer dollars at work.
Kane's laughing, you know though,I mean, I can. I'm
first, we had the DHS IntelligenceExperts Group, That's what we were talking
(06:00):
talking about last hour, and I'mpulling the story up. And then now
we have this this new apparently ourtax dollars are being used to help journalists
get over being trolled. I know, I'm right there with you. It's
(06:20):
it's kind of I mean, Iwe'll have a piece about this coming up
later, but this is and Ithought it was funny. Twitchy used the
uh what's her face? The chickat Washington Post who went after lives of
TikTok Taylor the wrench. She's likesixty years old and she says she's like
nineteen. I don't know that chick. True story. Everybody's been using that
(06:46):
image. So journalists, these areso this was first reported by Daily Caller.
Five million dollars to give to journalistsfor some emotional support if they're trolled.
(07:06):
M No, I'm not making thisup. It is it's actually a
real thing. I think I tweetedabout this last night too, didn't I?
I think I did. Yeah,oh yeah yeah. Journalists who are
being trolled online can seek help onthe taxpayers time. That was an unintentional
rhyme. Good on them, whoever'swriting those tweets for you daily call or
a good job. The program ifyou go to USA spending dot gov kill
(07:31):
us now. The program is calledExpert Voices Together. What is this about?
Well, if you're wondering, ExpertVoices Together is a government grant database
that is a socio technical system thatprovides real time support to experts experiencing online
(07:56):
harassment. It's to provide journalist andother experts with the means of monitoring and
reporting alleged abuse and personalized assistance withdigital safety, mental healthcare specialist and trauma
informed care. End quote expert VoicesTogether, so two expert things like back
(08:22):
to back with the government look atthat. It is the National Science Foundation
that first allocated almost a million dollarsin funding to George Washington University in twenty
twenty one, and then the projectwas approved for continuation in twenty two with
an additional five million dollars in taxpayerfunds. It's still ongoing, it's not
going to endil next year. Andit provides journalists with mental health counseling and
(08:46):
to address the rapid spread of misinformationthat they themselves perpetuate. Wait what and
this is actually a sentence from thisthing ready salad. Harassment undermines confidence and
pivotal sources of knowledge and reduces expertparticipation in the information ecosystem. In case
(09:11):
you wondered what vomit sounded like,it was that sentence. They want to
bolster trust and authenticity and communication systems. I can't even hmm now they you
know, for instance, the TaylorLawren's lady, she's said that, remember
(09:35):
she tried to go after libs ofTikTok because libs of TikTok literally reposted stuff
that nut jobs freely posted themselves ina public forum. And when Taylor Lawrence
showed up at her house and thenthere was backlash heard abusing her reporter's position
and bullying someone. Then she claimedthat she was being bullied as a way
(10:00):
to dodge accountability, because that's whatjournalists do. They whenever they're called out
on their bs, they claim thatthey're being bullied so they don't have to
be held accountable to their stand,to their bad behavior. That's what this
is. I mean, I can'ttell you how many times they've seen people
docs and everything else, but theythis is done so that these reporters that
(10:22):
they can that they can they're canavoid any kind of culpability or any kind
of anything, any any accountability atall. But this is five million dollars.
Now. I had asked the question, where can we as taxpayers go
to seek relief from abuse we receivedby journalists? Right? Where's where's ours?
(10:48):
Where I want the journalists to payfor us? Where's that at?
Mental If you need mental health counselingbecause someone criticizes your work, you need
to You literally need to be involuntarilycommitted and not be working in public with
people. Oh my gosh, wehave the softest society. It's not even
(11:09):
soft. It's people who are exploitingthis and trying to claim that it's trauma
because they don't want to take accountabilityfor their bs. That's what this is.
They don't they don't want to becalled to account. That's all this
is. And they're exploiting like actualreal issues that other people legitimately deal with
and then you know what that does. It cheapens public sentiment for any future
(11:33):
claims of trauma by anybody. Shamefulwhat these people are doing. And it's
our tax dollars, I mean theyAnd then they do interviews with MSNBC where
they pat each other on the back. Can you believe that, Like,
I literally shut up at someone's housebecause I didn't like what they twitted and
can even live the heat that Igot? Oh my gosh, like totally
(11:56):

(13:07):
The market is struggling. Newsweek saysthat home building is collapsing. I
told you this when we had theheadline about sofas, which I didn't know
about the sofa metric. Did y'allknow that I didn't know that, Like
the fewer sofas that you are beingpurchased, that's like a sign that home,
the home, the housing market's notgoing well. By the way,
sidebar, do you call it asofa or couch. Is that like a
(13:31):
regional difference, sofa or couch?Think about it. I know it's very
important. Also, this a coupleof things, So okay, can we
talk about this because Kane is inthis camp. They call it a flower
right conspiracy theory that John Futterman hasa body double, and they say that
(13:52):
it's gone viral. They said hetweeted a picture and by him, I
mean somebody else on his staff thatcan put on pants of homework. Simpson
responding to conspiracy theorists who won't stoppromoting the claim that he's been replaced by
a body double, and they putSenator Guy incognito and it has the stash.
I think it's just because he's lostweight. I mean, it's still
(14:13):
the same dumb base. I meanjust I think he's just lost he's lost
weight. You have to admit that. I mean, he has, but
it just I don't know. Idon't know if I buy the whole.
I don't know if I buy that. Amazon is adding two hundred and fifty
thousand holiday workers and increasing pay.They said that they're hiring all the new
workers starting this month because we're gettingready. I can't believe this already,
(14:35):
but we are. We are rollinginto the holiday shopping season, the holiday
shopping season. I mean, wedon't even it's not even Halloween yet,
it's not even officially spooky season yet. I mean, what do you expect
people to put up their Christmas treeswhile they're eating turkey wearing their Halloween costumes?
Like, what is going on withyour retail? This is so weird.
(14:56):
They said that they're they're raising thestarting pay for the new full time,
part time in seasonal workers to anaverage of twenty dollars and fifty cents
per hour. So they said,if they're looking for a short term way
to make extra money, you know, there's a role there. That's what
the VP said. And Amazon apparentlythey increase their sales nine percent last season
compared to the year before. That'sa seventy seventy eight percent increase compared to
(15:16):
twenty nineteen. And that's outpacing allthe brick and mortar businesses as well.
So very interesting. Let's see.Also, the we're gonna talk about this
coming up, the DJ is lookinginto Elon Musk's past. Wall Street Journal
has the piece They're going all theway, I mean going back years,
years and years with Elon Moss becauseit's a witch hunt. But I tell
(15:37):
you it is an absolute witch hunt. And the average price of gas in
LA. Do you want to knowit's over six dollars, like we're getting
your seven dollars territory in some places. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they
said it's skyrocketed to an average ofMeanwhile, John dollars a gallon in this
(16:03):
it's gonna get worse. I don'tknow if I can say this. Let
me put this in and slack.Can I say that word that's in the
headline, Yeah, if you pronouncedit just like it's written, I think
so jag off. Yeah, okay, because that's don't look at me,
guys. I mean it's news.And it's what he said, It's what
it's what Senator Cargo Schwartz mccroc said. Okay, So he's really milking this
(16:29):
to level cringe at this point.It's just like, we get it.
You're a slob. Gross And hesays that he I guess he thinks he's
Well, it's not him, youknow, it's his staff. He tweeted.
Quote and by he I mean hisstaff. Quote. If those jag
offs in the House, stop tryingto shut our government down and fully support
(16:56):
Ukraine. Then I will save democracyby where a suit on the Senate floor
next week. Nobody cares. Idon't want to do anything that bad.
I don't care what you do.Man. You could like wear a sumo.
You could wear a sumo tel Idon't care. Nobody who was going
to Nobody does that? Nobody,no, huh, nobody cares. Nobody
(17:18):
cares. But it seems like becausehe can't now that's all he talks about.
He's or his staff and him.I guess he's being encouraged to only
talk about that now and he's he'sbeating it to death now. It's it's
just becoming kind of annoying. Andthen you know what, then you get
stuff like this. I can't SusanCollins, who I'm not even a fan
of, she's now threatening to dostuff too. See look what he started,
(17:41):
Go ahead, go ahead, plan. I planned to wear a bikini
tomorrow to the Senate floor, todo away with the dress coat, to
me to basily institution and be abingo wing party. Man, it's gonna
(18:06):
we have the dumbest, dumbest welive in the dumbest times. We really
do we we we I want aliensto come and just like blow up our
planet. We live in the dumbestof times. Honestly, I watched this
movie last night. It was supposedto be a horror movie, but it
actually made me feel hopeful. Itwas about I can't remember what it was
called. It was some chick,oh significant other, that's what it's called.
(18:29):
Some chick and her boyfriend who's avegetarian. And I was like,
that's your first problem. I'm alreadyscared. Like you're going into the woods
with this beta they were going itwas in there. They were in the
Pacific Northwest, so it was theyhad the Pacific Northwest like the sticker,
and they had like all the theywere whole foods as you know, ideal
customers, and they probably wore likeunderwear woven of hemp and all this stuff,
(18:52):
and you know they put probably usedeer musk as cologne. I don't
know. And he's like, let'sgo hiking and then camping in the woods.
Now, I love nature, butI'm not gonna lie or pretend to
be I'm something I'm not. Wethe people invented the house, Okay,
so that we don't have to behomeless. And I just view and if
you love to do this, morepower to you. I'm just telling you
(19:12):
where I am. I don't likepretending to be homeless. We invented the
house, okay, and the lightsin it and the running water. Anyway,
So this guy's like, let's goon a romantic And it was cold
because they're all bundled up, andit was in the Pacific Northwest, so
it's raining, Like you're gonna bemiserable, cold and wet, and you're
(19:33):
gonna be sleeping on the cold,hard ground in your little tent. This
is a nightmare. And then theygo out. They go to a burger
shack before they go up in themountains. I'm not going to tell you
the whole movie, but I willso just warning. And he asks for
a vegetarian meal at a place thatliterally said it was the burger shack.
(19:53):
And my first thought was, girl, it's already scary. You better run.
I mean him saying that was theaudible. It was basically the equivalent
of you know what that means.So they go up, aliens are involved,
and somehow he gets there are gonnacome and fill up the Earth,
and the alien likes the girl andhe wants her to go onto a planet
(20:17):
away from you know, the destructionthat's coming to Earth. And I'm like,
is it destruction or is it goingto help? Because everything is so
stupid, it can't get much worse. That was my first thought. And
as the final scene began to fadeto black, the sky was full of
these alien pods raining down like red, hateful, vengeful asteroids, and I
(20:37):
just thought, oh, look,it's a better day. That's what I
thought. I was like, thiswas supposed to be a scary movie,
and I was not scared. Iwas hopeful. The only time I was
scared was when you know, shehad to depend on the guy who went
to the burger shack and got avegetarian meal, and I'm like, how
are you going to live in thewoods? So anyway, long story short,
everything is dumb and I eagerly awaitour alien overlords. I don't know
(21:00):
about you, right, Kane,I would look, that's gonna be a
happy day. I'll play some BillWithers, right. It's almost embarrassing to
take them to our leader at thispoint. Yeah, I mean, well
which leader? I mean we gotyou know President Cheese brain mcdaddy showers or
you know President Crocs McCargo shorts.I don't know, like which one,
which which? Where do we go? Are you going to take him up
(21:22):
to little Castro up in Canada?Right? Are you gonna take him to
hot for teacher over in France?Like? Where are you going? I'm
full of it today? Okay?So all right? Got through that just
and I hope that we don't getbecause that's the word that he used,
right, that's the word that heused. And and I'm like trying to
(21:44):
shut our government. Don't fully supportUkraine. No, I want our government
to be shut down. Now.I don't care if he whears the suit
or not. Now he's just like, it's just overkill, man, It's
just overkill. Thanks for tuning intotoday's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth podcast.
