Uh, this is such a weirdA Florida man was booted from Hooters
before a bizarre residential rampage thwarted byan armed homeowner. Guns Save lives.
Yeah it was a Florida man accusedof disrupting a Hooters restaurant before trying to
(00:45):
break into a home in Lee County. The homeowner was like, yeah,
fafo and open fire. Hugh isa weirdness name mcmanonmon, too many ms
and n's in your name. That'syou don't need that many ms and ends
in your name, Hugh mc minimon. Jiminy H forty four, was arrested
(01:06):
last week. He tried to breakinto a home in Cape Coral, left
a path of destruction. They saidearlier he would not leave a Hooters restaurant,
caused a ruckus, and then targeteda home for a break in.
He knocked down portions of the home, six foot fence around the property before
he kicked in the front door.He looks like a mean dude. Doesn't
need his mugshot. He's like oneof those guys. He also apparently after
(01:27):
the break in, dropped his mom'sdebit card on the property driveway. He
tried to break in through a homewindow home owner, his arm fired shots.
He was arrested, charged with awhole bunch of stuff, and he's
including three thousand damage into the home. He's violated parole, he had aggravated
assault with the deadly weapon, allkinds of stuff. He's still in custody
with Cape Coral. And it allstarted at Hooters there do you go,
(01:52):
Oh, this is so I reallydon't want to read those line of those
growth Jacksonville, Florida, Florida manis healing after no how does this happen?
A horrific amount of bugs were pulledfrom his nasal and sinus passages earlier
(02:20):
this month. My whole head spinning, he says. My whole face felt
like it was on fire. Hesays. Over a couple of hours,
my face swelled, my live swelled, I could hardly talk. The patient
was not identified. He went tothe hospital for constant nose blades and pain,
and an E ANDT on call foundby looking inside of his nose there
were dozens of live Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is a sentence.
(02:45):
Dozens of live larva feeding on hisinside face cavities. They said they
were right up against his skull base, right under the brain. Had they
gone up through it, it couldhave killed them. Okay, is it
gonna be weird if I go tomy ant and be like, can you
just look up? I know ismake sure I don't have any bugs eating
away in my facial cavities. Ifeel like that's something. How does this
happen? How do you not blowyour nose and some come out? Some
(03:07):
of them were bugs were as largeas the tip of a pinky finger.
One hundred and fifty of them wereremoved used by a variety of instruments.
The larva was sent to live fortesting. Apparently this is never It's called
nasal my miasses, my, yes, how is this pronounced? Yeah?
I mean I feel like it's anasal infestation called by causby house fly larva.
(03:31):
It's a rare condition. Oh mygosh. Now anytime I get a
running nose, I'm gonna feel likeI have it. I am completely freaking
out right now. So that's areal story. Just wasn't one for you
to get you to see Fox Channeleight. Fox Channel eight. It's an
actual, for real story. Sometimescheck those out. I mean, how
(03:52):
does this even happen? They saidthat he noticed symptoms in the fall.
He has a compromised immune system,and apparently that's they said, sometimes your
body. I mean, people withhealthy immune systems can fight off things like
this naturally. That's why you alwayswash your hands. Wash your hands.
Oh my gosh, this is buthe said that apparently his might have come
from cleaning dead fish. I don'tknow. This is so gross. I

(05:20):
Tec Weapons dot com. Tell themDana send you. Welcome back to the
program. Top of this second hour, Dana lash with you. I can't
get over the video. Oh you'regoing to see it in a moment.
Good to be with you this Monday. We're getting you set up for a
good week. Really, sorry todo this one video with you, but
(05:43):
that's okay. You can listen coastto coast. We've been having issues with
this simulcast because you two hates ussocial media just in general. It's the
throttle conservatives half to death. Butit's going to be with you, all
right. So first and foremost,remember how just two weeks I think it
was longer than two weeks ago,Eric Adams came out and said, oh,
because of all of the illegal immigrantsthat Greg Abbott has been sending to
(06:05):
New York that they're gonna have tocut a whole bunch of stuff. Right,
They're gonna have to cut money fromthe police budget. They're gonna have
to cut money from education, They'regonna have to oh my gosh, millions
of dollars they're gonna have to cutso that they can pay for these illegal
immigrants coming in and living the videoskilling me that's coming in and living in
(06:28):
New York City. They're not cuttingthe dance team though, the NYPD dance
team. So if there's a crimethat happens, you know, imagine you
somebody, you call nine one one, You see somebody getting shipped in the
street, you call nine one one, and the NYPD dance team comes to
Fossy the bad guys away. IMy favorite is the chick on the left
if you're watching the simulcast one showingyou like she got her knee pads on
(06:51):
in that, but when the otherchicks go to the floor because they're doing
all these dance moves in that,and like she's you know, she's in
it, she's in it. Whenthey go to the floor, she just
like girl friend marks it. Shedoesn't even go all that. We gotta
run there, we gotta one inthe middle and there to see she not
even going Nope, not doing it. Nope, not uh uh nope,
got the knee pads on though,just saying, I just the dance team.
(07:15):
What is the purpose of this?Anybody? The purpose of it?
I mean, I encourage it.More Cardio means cops can run after bad
guys better Caine, it said NewYork, It's dance team. Really trying
to look at the silver linings.I don't care about silver linings to the
positive. I don't care about positives. I just think it's weird. So
(07:36):
what I'm trying to do, like, I don't think this is gonna help.
What what is this supposed to do? Is it supposed to help foster
goodwill with the community. The onein the middle is like really good,
number twenty four. She's actually prettygood. They're in basketball jerseys and they're
in like biker pants. They gotthe knee pads on. You know,
they're like dressed nineteen nineties La dancescene style. Yeah. You see these
(07:59):
moves in cheerleading a lot, youknow, like college cheerleading. So at
what point does this become cheerleading.Well, they're actually dancing, yeah,
but I mean it seems like they'recheering. The one in the middle seems
like she legit has to do withoutmusic. Yeah, we can't like this.
Well, another strike against us.It seems like it could be a
cheerleading thing. Yeah, it's notcheerleaders. Don't know, maybe the palm
(08:22):
squad, but not Yeah, something. I just want to know what this
has to do with. It's likea bad jazzer size class. I'm just
wanting to know what this has todo with, you know, policing,
serving and protecting, Like this doesn'tget cut, but like Eric Adams goes
out and is all, oh man, everything else has got to get cut
because you know, these illegal immigrantsthat are coming in, we got to
(08:43):
cut everything, but not the danceteam. They spend all this money on
the robots that didn't work on thesubway platforms. But you know, we
got everything's got to get cut,but not this dance team. Not the
dance team. What what's up?Criminal fossy? What and dance the crime
away? What's happening? But thatmake you feel safe? I think i'd
(09:07):
be. I don't know if i'dbe more scared of that of the criminal.
I don't think we've seen a lotof jazz han jailing going on out
there. Yeah, I don't.I don't. I don't think so either.
I think it's some hm, someinteresting stuff, interesting stuff. So
I just feel like that maybe wouldn'tshouldn't be the thing that they should be
(09:33):
doing. New York seems like it'sgonna have a lot of problems coming up
because you also have this audio soundby nineteen. So there are a lot
of truckers that are not happy becauseof the civil fraud verdict we got.
We had that happened Friday after wewere off air, which I gotta say,
I don't know that I've ever heardof a fraud case happening without a
(09:58):
victim or like, who do theypay damage, just to who do the
damages go to? I I.Yeah, So there there's truckers saying that
they're not going to go and pickup loads or do anything in New York.
Listen to this audio someunby in nineteenHey folks, you old past Chicago.
(10:18):
Ray. Uh. I've been onthe radio talking talking to drivers for
about the less our hour fifteen minutes, and uh, I'm talking them at
least ten drivers going the other way. I'm heading down from South Wisconsin.
And uh, they're gonna start refusingloans in New York City starting on Monday,
(10:43):
all right. Uh. I gotabout three drivers that I drive with
they are ready river for the bossand told them they ain't going to New
York City. So I don't know, uh how far across the country,
the seas, or how many truckersare going to start denying loans to go
(11:07):
going to New York City. Buthuh, I'll tell you what. I
feel like, you don't mess witha guy driving a truck wearing sunglasses at
night. I just feel like that'sthe kind of guy you don't mess with.
You know what I'm saying. It'slike he needs to wear sunglasses at
night because he has lasers Fries.Who's that guy that was in uh?
(11:28):
Was it Marvel? One of theMarvel He had to wear the special star
Trek glasses because he had lasers Fries. I'm just saying. Can I also
add as a sidebar that why isthere is I know that there's like ice
road truckers, but is there likea reality show about truckers? No?
I mean like about like cause theyseem kind of like they have their groups,
(11:48):
you know what I mean, Likeyou have different groups that all know
each other. It's like a wholeleague, you know what I mean.
Like there, it's like a wholelike association. They all got their friends,
and they all got and they reallyif they wanted to, they could
destroy you because all the stuff thatyou need is stuff that they're driving to
(12:09):
you, you know what I mean. Like, I just feel like the
last people on earth that you probablywould want to make mad or them?
I mean, think about all thestuff that you need every single day and
how much of it comes by wayof truck. You know, did you
ever when you were a kid ina road trip and for whatever reason,
why were we allowed to climb allover the car during road trips. I
(12:31):
don't know, it was the eighties, who knows, But did you ever
like do that where you were tryingto get the truck or to Hanks Rigs
Horn? And they always did andit was like, oh, you tried
to see who could get the mostif you had other kids in the car
that were apparently, for some reasonbecause it was the eighties, allowed to
climb all over the car and restrainedseemed kind of dangerous. But I'm just
(12:52):
right like, I'm thinking about that, and I'm like, was I parented
badly? I don't know. Feelslike that was more of a danger than
the than anything else. But yeah, they it just seems like those are
maybe the people. That's why Inever understood why Canada wanted to mess with
the druggers up there. It's likeyour ice. You're literally a country of
(13:13):
ice and moose and bad leadership.Why would you Why would you do that?
Why why would you taunt the peoplewho bring you your stuff? I
don't get it, Like you goto the say you got to go to
the grocery store and you can't findwhat you need. Who's to blame you?
Because you made mad the people whobring it to you. I'm just
saying, yeah, never, neverever taunt a guy who's it's a nighttime,
(13:39):
he's driving a semi and he's gotsunglasses on their probably prescription. I
know a lot of guys that dothat. But I'm just saying, so
there's people I don't know. Ihaven't really heard anything else about it,
but you know they're going to appealthat ruling. So that's going to go
through a whole process, all right, folks. So new sponsors over at

(15:11):
so tell them we sent you andnow all of the news you would probably
miss. It's time for Dana's quickfive. So a server was fired according to
this piece, there's a couple differentplaces. New York Post is one of
them. A server was fired aftershe received a ten thousand dollars tip.
But owners sate it has nothing todo with a gesture. They say it
was a business decision. So shegot a ten thousand dollars tip. This
(15:33):
waitress in Michigan, but the restaurantand she was fired days later. The
restaurant said it was just a businessdecision. It was unrelated to the gratuity.
The cafe that was in Benton Harborcanned Lindsey Boyd a week after this.
Anonymous customer left the ten thousand dollarstip on a thirty two dollars bill
that was according to Detroit Free Press, the guy wanted to be anonymous.
(15:58):
He was honoring a friend. Hewas in town for a funeral, is
a first friend's funeral, and herequested that she split the gift amongst the
weight staff, which came out toabout a little over a thousand dollars for
each employee. And they said thatshe get She got the tip, but
she did not pay taxes on it. The business did, and she shared
it at the request of the guywho left it. So they said that,
(16:19):
I mean they at that point theylet her go and then management said
it had nothing to do with thetip, but we just we couldn't go
to detail because the labor laws.What it sounds like it does have something
to do with that. What arethey what do they get mad about?
What like you need to do alittle bit better business? What do you
mean if it was a business decisionand you're not vying, and if it's
(16:41):
you don't have to worry about alabor law. I just feel like that
that's like a cop out them sayingthat if I'm the person who wants to
give it to the entire staff,I'm not going to give it to one
of the staff. I'm going togive it to the manager or the owner
of that particular establishment. So whatdo you does this seem like there's more
the media yet I think so.I think so interesting. Also, so
(17:07):
apparently I don't know why we're doingthis with the Dodo stem cell stuff,
but we are. There's an ambitiousplan to de extinct the Dodo. There's
a reason why God took it offthe Earth. Scientists want to use stem
cell tech to bring back the extinctspecies. Why. I just feel like
there's certain things that you don't donow. This startup is based here in
Dallas. It's called Colossal Biosciences.They're using stem cell tech and genome editing
(17:33):
to create a modern approximation of thespecies. It's actually a really ugly bird.
Sounds like a Jurassic pucks. Yeah, it's it's a very ugly looking
bird. And I don't understand whyare you it's extinct for a reason.
There's a reason why God took itoff the earth. What if it was
evil? You know? I meanlike archaeology can't really tell you all that.
You know, what if it whatif it's spit lasers? I don't
(17:55):
know, like what if it?There's just things they just you know,
political gender gap. Axio says thatmore gen Z women are shifting left.
Eighteen to twenty nine is what they'reHow is a twenty nine year old in
gen Z? Can we just stopwith these stupid like generational classifications. It's
(18:15):
so dumb because I heard that ifyou're in your late twenties, you're still
millennial. Now they're saying, no, you're genes. It's so stupid.
There is a spectrum, right,so then there's no gap at all.
It's all as well. There's moreyoung people typically identify as being left,
and then they charge they as they'vebecome older or more educated. Yeah,
they shift right, That's like typicalif you look back throughout generations. This
(18:37):
is so dumb. This one's storythat it was going to hit on Friday.
It's ongoing still about the MS Society, the National MS Society. I
don't know if you've seen this story. I am shocked that it is that
(19:02):
this organization is doing this and howfar all of this wokery stuff has gone.
It's the National Multiple Multiple Sclerosis Society. And so this woman, she's
ninety years old and she's out ofLong Beach, California, and her husband
(19:25):
had MS and they she and herhusband apparently worked with the National MS Organization.
They did so much over sixty years, six decades of volunteer service,
and she won multiple awards for herwork. And she's ninety years old.
(19:48):
Okay, So the fact that andI'm not saying this to be mean,
but the fact that she has emailand uses email is pretty amazing because a
lot of ninety year olds still don'tyou know, liked, or prefer even
if they how do, they don'tprefer to communicate with folks that way.
And so she's been volunteering for sixtyyears with the MS Society and her organization
(20:11):
it was the Lakewood Long the LakewoodLong Beach Self Help Group, and her
organization helps people with MS and theydo a lot and she's just you know,
very looks like a very nice ninetyyear old woman, and her involvement
began with her with her husband's diagnosis, and she's, you know, she
(20:33):
is very passionate about that that issue. And so one day, what yeah,
that's what I've said like twice.That's sixty years. So she saw
one of these emails come in oneday she and she saw that people started
using these pronouns along with their names. So people would sign you know how
(20:56):
you sign off an email like oh, well, you know Dana lash whatever,
and I you know what if youchose to use pronouns her or hers
whatever, And she had no ideawhat that meant. And she had said,
I saw it on some letters thatcame in, and I saw that
people had pronouns attached to their name. I just didn't know what it meant.
(21:19):
And our frand Itkoff is her name. She said that she asked one
of the people with the MS Society, well, why are they using these
after their name? She just didn'tunderstand what it meant. She said,
Finally, I was talking to thisrepresentative and I thought I would ask what
does it mean? And I lether tell me. Lives of TikTok had
(21:41):
the email that was sent. Shesaid that she that she said that she
was told it meant they were allinclusive, and she said that still didn't
make sense to me, and shedidn't know how she or her could be
all inclusive. Think about think aboutthis. So you're a ninety year old
woman. All you do, andall you've done for six decades is volunteer
(22:03):
work. You don't care about anyof this other stuff. You're singularly minded
on your mission to help people withMS. And then you start seeing people
in email use these pronouns after yourname, and she didn't know what that
meant. You ask, And ifyou don't know what it means, you
ask someone and they go, wellit means all inclusive. Well what do
you see? How? It justgets even weirder if you don't live in
(22:26):
this garbage world of activist rhetoric.So then as a thinking person, she's
like, well, if it's notreferring to men, why is it all
inclusive? So a couple of daysafter the conversation, she was told that
she had to step down as avolunteer for the MS Society. The letter
(22:47):
said, quote, dear fram,I hope this email finds you well.
We appreciate your dedication and contribution asa self help group leader with our organization.
She says that the letter said that, as we discussed earlier on one
of at our phone conversation, aftera thorough review of our guidelines and standards,
(23:10):
it has come to our attention thatthere has been a failure to abide
by our diversity, equity and inclusionguidelines during your time as a volunteer.
Unfortunately, based on the situation,we have made the difficult decision to have
you step down from your volunteer position, effective immediately. Although the Lakewood Long
Beach Self Help Group will no longerbe formally affiliated with our organization, we
(23:33):
want to emphasize that does not meanthe end of your group's activities. You
can continue meeting and dependent independently fromthe society, et cetera, et cetera.
You know, this email was sentby someone who hasn't even done a
half or a third or a quarterof the work she's done, and she
said that the verbiage she still didshe couldn't even understand that she couldn't be
(23:56):
a part of as a volunteer,and her daughter pointed out the irony in
the statement that they were excluding aninety year old disabled woman who volunteered for
over sixty years. She's won awardswith her work. They gave her a
Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award in two thousandand eight. Her husband went out and
met Jimmy Carter when he was stillin office because he won MS Father of
(24:18):
the Year. And the daughter addedthat it's sad that they're discriminating against her
because MS doesn't discriminate. She literallyasked a question because she just didn't know
what it meant. She doesn't livein that world. She doesn't pay attention
to that stuff. And the daughterblasted the MS Society's entire mission and wondered
(24:41):
if they're too focused on inclusive talkand not working to actually fight MS there
and I agree with her. Shesaid she's going to continue with her group
because the patients want to keep going. Can you believe the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society is actually valuing pronouns over fightingMS, because that's exactly what this is.
(25:03):
They are betraying their mission and they'resacrificing the fight for MS. At
the altar of transactivist rhetoric. Itis offensive. It's offensive most to the
people that they claim to help.Is there nothing free from the infection of
(25:26):
this activist rhetoric. She's a ninetyyear old woman. I would love to
know the identity and age of theperson that thought it was acceptable to force
a ninety year old woman who hadmore experience than the entire lifetimes of the
people who probably let her told herto step down as a volunteer where they
(25:48):
get off or where they think theyhave the right to ask her to step
down simply because she asked for clarification. And notice that at no time they
offered no clarification. She wasn't doingit to me make a political statement.
I mean, and to be frankwith you, when your fight is about
pronouns, you look like a moron. You're forcing everyone else to play along
(26:10):
with your fantasy perspective, and youclaim that you're doing it because you want
them to be nice to you,But by god, if they don't,
then you're going to go after theirjob and everything else. Now tell me
the irony in that position. Iwouldn't want to give any more. I
wouldn't want to give any money tothe National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation after that,
(26:32):
because you don't even know what they'regoing to use it for clearly they're not
prioritizing work and advocacy on behalf ofthe patients that go and see them.
This is just how insidious. Thisis. Ninety years old, multiple awards,
(26:53):
that's all she does. She loveshelping people and working with people.
And she literally asked a question andapparently they provided everything. You know,
she asked a question like what doesthat mean? Why is that? Because
it sounded like she was asking thequestion like should I be doing that too?
Honestly, that's what it sounded likewhen I was reading through the discussion.
(27:14):
She didn't say it, but itsounded like she was trying to figure
out if that is that something thatshe needs to be doing on behalf of
m us, Like what do yousee it? She's ninety years old,
that is not her world, andmost people who did not come up in
that way where you worship rhetoric,they don't prioritize that stuff. I can't
even believe this has to be explained. And I also think it is the
(27:37):

before a bizarre residential rampage thwarted byan armed homeowner. Guns Save lives.
Yeah it was a Florida man accusedof disrupting a Hooters restaurant before trying to

in your name, Hugh mc minimon. Jiminy H forty four, was arrested
(01:06):
last week. He tried to breakinto a home in Cape Coral, left
a path of destruction. They saidearlier he would not leave a Hooters restaurant,
caused a ruckus, and then targeteda home for a break in.
He knocked down portions of the home, six foot fence around the property before
he kicked in the front door.He looks like a mean dude. Doesn't
need his mugshot. He's like oneof those guys. He also apparently after
(01:27):
the break in, dropped his mom'sdebit card on the property driveway. He
tried to break in through a homewindow home owner, his arm fired shots.
He was arrested, charged with awhole bunch of stuff, and he's
including three thousand damage into the home. He's violated parole, he had aggravated
assault with the deadly weapon, allkinds of stuff. He's still in custody
with Cape Coral. And it allstarted at Hooters there do you go,

Oh, this is so I reallydon't want to read those line of those
growth Jacksonville, Florida, Florida manis healing after no how does this happen?
A horrific amount of bugs were pulledfrom his nasal and sinus passages earlier
(02:20):
this month. My whole head spinning, he says. My whole face felt
like it was on fire. Hesays. Over a couple of hours,
my face swelled, my live swelled, I could hardly talk. The patient
was not identified. He went tothe hospital for constant nose blades and pain,
and an E ANDT on call foundby looking inside of his nose there
were dozens of live Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is a sentence.
(02:45):
Dozens of live larva feeding on hisinside face cavities. They said they
were right up against his skull base, right under the brain. Had they
gone up through it, it couldhave killed them. Okay, is it
gonna be weird if I go tomy ant and be like, can you
just look up? I know ismake sure I don't have any bugs eating
away in my facial cavities. Ifeel like that's something. How does this
happen? How do you not blowyour nose and some come out? Some
(03:07):
of them were bugs were as largeas the tip of a pinky finger.
One hundred and fifty of them wereremoved used by a variety of instruments.
The larva was sent to live fortesting. Apparently this is never It's called
nasal my miasses, my, yes, how is this pronounced? Yeah?
I mean I feel like it's anasal infestation called by causby house fly larva.
(03:31):
It's a rare condition. Oh mygosh. Now anytime I get a
running nose, I'm gonna feel likeI have it. I am completely freaking
out right now. So that's areal story. Just wasn't one for you
to get you to see Fox Channeleight. Fox Channel eight. It's an
actual, for real story. Sometimescheck those out. I mean, how
(03:52):
does this even happen? They saidthat he noticed symptoms in the fall.
He has a compromised immune system,and apparently that's they said, sometimes your
body. I mean, people withhealthy immune systems can fight off things like
this naturally. That's why you alwayswash your hands. Wash your hands.
Oh my gosh, this is buthe said that apparently his might have come
from cleaning dead fish. I don'tknow. This is so gross. I

(05:20):
Tec Weapons dot com. Tell themDana send you. Welcome back to the
program. Top of this second hour, Dana lash with you. I can't
get over the video. Oh you'regoing to see it in a moment.
Good to be with you this Monday. We're getting you set up for a
good week. Really, sorry todo this one video with you, but
(05:43):
that's okay. You can listen coastto coast. We've been having issues with
this simulcast because you two hates ussocial media just in general. It's the
throttle conservatives half to death. Butit's going to be with you, all
right. So first and foremost,remember how just two weeks I think it
was longer than two weeks ago,Eric Adams came out and said, oh,
because of all of the illegal immigrantsthat Greg Abbott has been sending to
(06:05):
New York that they're gonna have tocut a whole bunch of stuff. Right,
They're gonna have to cut money fromthe police budget. They're gonna have
to cut money from education, They'regonna have to oh my gosh, millions
of dollars they're gonna have to cutso that they can pay for these illegal
immigrants coming in and living the videoskilling me that's coming in and living in
(06:28):
New York City. They're not cuttingthe dance team though, the NYPD dance
team. So if there's a crimethat happens, you know, imagine you
somebody, you call nine one one, You see somebody getting shipped in the
street, you call nine one one, and the NYPD dance team comes to
Fossy the bad guys away. IMy favorite is the chick on the left
if you're watching the simulcast one showingyou like she got her knee pads on
(06:51):
in that, but when the otherchicks go to the floor because they're doing
all these dance moves in that,and like she's you know, she's in
it, she's in it. Whenthey go to the floor, she just
like girl friend marks it. Shedoesn't even go all that. We gotta
run there, we gotta one inthe middle and there to see she not
even going Nope, not doing it. Nope, not uh uh nope,
got the knee pads on though,just saying, I just the dance team.
(07:15):
What is the purpose of this?Anybody? The purpose of it?
I mean, I encourage it.More Cardio means cops can run after bad
guys better Caine, it said NewYork, It's dance team. Really trying
to look at the silver linings.I don't care about silver linings to the
positive. I don't care about positives. I just think it's weird. So
(07:36):
what I'm trying to do, like, I don't think this is gonna help.
What what is this supposed to do? Is it supposed to help foster
goodwill with the community. The onein the middle is like really good,
number twenty four. She's actually prettygood. They're in basketball jerseys and they're
in like biker pants. They gotthe knee pads on. You know,
they're like dressed nineteen nineties La dancescene style. Yeah. You see these
(07:59):
moves in cheerleading a lot, youknow, like college cheerleading. So at
what point does this become cheerleading.Well, they're actually dancing, yeah,
but I mean it seems like they'recheering. The one in the middle seems
like she legit has to do withoutmusic. Yeah, we can't like this.
Well, another strike against us.It seems like it could be a
cheerleading thing. Yeah, it's notcheerleaders. Don't know, maybe the palm
(08:22):
squad, but not Yeah, something. I just want to know what this
has to do with. It's likea bad jazzer size class. I'm just
wanting to know what this has todo with, you know, policing,
serving and protecting, Like this doesn'tget cut, but like Eric Adams goes
out and is all, oh man, everything else has got to get cut
because you know, these illegal immigrantsthat are coming in, we got to
(08:43):
cut everything, but not the danceteam. They spend all this money on
the robots that didn't work on thesubway platforms. But you know, we
got everything's got to get cut,but not this dance team. Not the
dance team. What what's up?Criminal fossy? What and dance the crime
away? What's happening? But thatmake you feel safe? I think i'd
(09:07):
be. I don't know if i'dbe more scared of that of the criminal.
I don't think we've seen a lotof jazz han jailing going on out
there. Yeah, I don't.I don't. I don't think so either.
I think it's some hm, someinteresting stuff, interesting stuff. So
I just feel like that maybe wouldn'tshouldn't be the thing that they should be
(09:33):
doing. New York seems like it'sgonna have a lot of problems coming up
because you also have this audio soundby nineteen. So there are a lot
of truckers that are not happy becauseof the civil fraud verdict we got.
We had that happened Friday after wewere off air, which I gotta say,
I don't know that I've ever heardof a fraud case happening without a
(09:58):
victim or like, who do theypay damage, just to who do the
damages go to? I I.Yeah, So there there's truckers saying that
they're not going to go and pickup loads or do anything in New York.
Listen to this audio someunby in nineteenHey folks, you old past Chicago.
(10:18):
Ray. Uh. I've been onthe radio talking talking to drivers for
about the less our hour fifteen minutes, and uh, I'm talking them at
least ten drivers going the other way. I'm heading down from South Wisconsin.
And uh, they're gonna start refusingloans in New York City starting on Monday,
(10:43):
all right. Uh. I gotabout three drivers that I drive with
they are ready river for the bossand told them they ain't going to New
York City. So I don't know, uh how far across the country,
the seas, or how many truckersare going to start denying loans to go
(11:07):
going to New York City. Buthuh, I'll tell you what. I
feel like, you don't mess witha guy driving a truck wearing sunglasses at
night. I just feel like that'sthe kind of guy you don't mess with.
You know what I'm saying. It'slike he needs to wear sunglasses at
night because he has lasers Fries.Who's that guy that was in uh?
(11:28):
Was it Marvel? One of theMarvel He had to wear the special star
Trek glasses because he had lasers Fries. I'm just saying. Can I also
add as a sidebar that why isthere is I know that there's like ice
road truckers, but is there likea reality show about truckers? No?
I mean like about like cause theyseem kind of like they have their groups,
(11:48):
you know what I mean, Likeyou have different groups that all know
each other. It's like a wholeleague, you know what I mean.
Like there, it's like a wholelike association. They all got their friends,
and they all got and they reallyif they wanted to, they could
destroy you because all the stuff thatyou need is stuff that they're driving to
(12:09):
you, you know what I mean. Like, I just feel like the
last people on earth that you probablywould want to make mad or them?
I mean, think about all thestuff that you need every single day and
how much of it comes by wayof truck. You know, did you
ever when you were a kid ina road trip and for whatever reason,
why were we allowed to climb allover the car during road trips. I
(12:31):
don't know, it was the eighties, who knows, But did you ever
like do that where you were tryingto get the truck or to Hanks Rigs
Horn? And they always did andit was like, oh, you tried
to see who could get the mostif you had other kids in the car
that were apparently, for some reasonbecause it was the eighties, allowed to
climb all over the car and restrainedseemed kind of dangerous. But I'm just
(12:52):
right like, I'm thinking about that, and I'm like, was I parented
badly? I don't know. Feelslike that was more of a danger than
the than anything else. But yeah, they it just seems like those are
maybe the people. That's why Inever understood why Canada wanted to mess with
the druggers up there. It's likeyour ice. You're literally a country of
(13:13):
ice and moose and bad leadership.Why would you Why would you do that?
Why why would you taunt the peoplewho bring you your stuff? I
don't get it, Like you goto the say you got to go to
the grocery store and you can't findwhat you need. Who's to blame you?
Because you made mad the people whobring it to you. I'm just
saying, yeah, never, neverever taunt a guy who's it's a nighttime,
(13:39):
he's driving a semi and he's gotsunglasses on their probably prescription. I
know a lot of guys that dothat. But I'm just saying, so
there's people I don't know. Ihaven't really heard anything else about it,
but you know they're going to appealthat ruling. So that's going to go
through a whole process, all right, folks. So new sponsors over at

(15:11):
so tell them we sent you andnow all of the news you would probably
miss. It's time for Dana's quickfive. So a server was fired according to
this piece, there's a couple differentplaces. New York Post is one of
them. A server was fired aftershe received a ten thousand dollars tip.
But owners sate it has nothing todo with a gesture. They say it
was a business decision. So shegot a ten thousand dollars tip. This
(15:33):
waitress in Michigan, but the restaurantand she was fired days later. The
restaurant said it was just a businessdecision. It was unrelated to the gratuity.
The cafe that was in Benton Harborcanned Lindsey Boyd a week after this.
Anonymous customer left the ten thousand dollarstip on a thirty two dollars bill
that was according to Detroit Free Press, the guy wanted to be anonymous.
(15:58):
He was honoring a friend. Hewas in town for a funeral, is
a first friend's funeral, and herequested that she split the gift amongst the
weight staff, which came out toabout a little over a thousand dollars for
each employee. And they said thatshe get She got the tip, but
she did not pay taxes on it. The business did, and she shared
it at the request of the guywho left it. So they said that,
(16:19):
I mean they at that point theylet her go and then management said
it had nothing to do with thetip, but we just we couldn't go
to detail because the labor laws.What it sounds like it does have something
to do with that. What arethey what do they get mad about?
What like you need to do alittle bit better business? What do you
mean if it was a business decisionand you're not vying, and if it's
(16:41):
you don't have to worry about alabor law. I just feel like that
that's like a cop out them sayingthat if I'm the person who wants to
give it to the entire staff,I'm not going to give it to one
of the staff. I'm going togive it to the manager or the owner
of that particular establishment. So whatdo you does this seem like there's more
the media yet I think so.I think so interesting. Also, so
(17:07):
apparently I don't know why we're doingthis with the Dodo stem cell stuff,
but we are. There's an ambitiousplan to de extinct the Dodo. There's
a reason why God took it offthe Earth. Scientists want to use stem
cell tech to bring back the extinctspecies. Why. I just feel like
there's certain things that you don't donow. This startup is based here in
Dallas. It's called Colossal Biosciences.They're using stem cell tech and genome editing
(17:33):
to create a modern approximation of thespecies. It's actually a really ugly bird.
Sounds like a Jurassic pucks. Yeah, it's it's a very ugly looking
bird. And I don't understand whyare you it's extinct for a reason.
There's a reason why God took itoff the earth. What if it was
evil? You know? I meanlike archaeology can't really tell you all that.
You know, what if it whatif it's spit lasers? I don't
(17:55):
know, like what if it?There's just things they just you know,
political gender gap. Axio says thatmore gen Z women are shifting left.
Eighteen to twenty nine is what they'reHow is a twenty nine year old in
gen Z? Can we just stopwith these stupid like generational classifications. It's
(18:15):
so dumb because I heard that ifyou're in your late twenties, you're still
millennial. Now they're saying, no, you're genes. It's so stupid.
There is a spectrum, right,so then there's no gap at all.
It's all as well. There's moreyoung people typically identify as being left,
and then they charge they as they'vebecome older or more educated. Yeah,
they shift right, That's like typicalif you look back throughout generations. This
(18:37):
is so dumb. This one's storythat it was going to hit on Friday.
It's ongoing still about the MS Society, the National MS Society. I
don't know if you've seen this story. I am shocked that it is that
(19:02):
this organization is doing this and howfar all of this wokery stuff has gone.
It's the National Multiple Multiple Sclerosis Society. And so this woman, she's
ninety years old and she's out ofLong Beach, California, and her husband
(19:25):
had MS and they she and herhusband apparently worked with the National MS Organization.
They did so much over sixty years, six decades of volunteer service,
and she won multiple awards for herwork. And she's ninety years old.
(19:48):
Okay, So the fact that andI'm not saying this to be mean,
but the fact that she has emailand uses email is pretty amazing because a
lot of ninety year olds still don'tyou know, liked, or prefer even
if they how do, they don'tprefer to communicate with folks that way.
And so she's been volunteering for sixtyyears with the MS Society and her organization
(20:11):
it was the Lakewood Long the LakewoodLong Beach Self Help Group, and her
organization helps people with MS and theydo a lot and she's just you know,
very looks like a very nice ninetyyear old woman, and her involvement
began with her with her husband's diagnosis, and she's, you know, she
(20:33):
is very passionate about that that issue. And so one day, what yeah,
that's what I've said like twice.That's sixty years. So she saw
one of these emails come in oneday she and she saw that people started
using these pronouns along with their names. So people would sign you know how
(20:56):
you sign off an email like oh, well, you know Dana lash whatever,
and I you know what if youchose to use pronouns her or hers
whatever, And she had no ideawhat that meant. And she had said,
I saw it on some letters thatcame in, and I saw that
people had pronouns attached to their name. I just didn't know what it meant.
(21:19):
And our frand Itkoff is her name. She said that she asked one
of the people with the MS Society, well, why are they using these
after their name? She just didn'tunderstand what it meant. She said,
Finally, I was talking to thisrepresentative and I thought I would ask what
does it mean? And I lether tell me. Lives of TikTok had
(21:41):
the email that was sent. Shesaid that she that she said that she
was told it meant they were allinclusive, and she said that still didn't
make sense to me, and shedidn't know how she or her could be
all inclusive. Think about think aboutthis. So you're a ninety year old
woman. All you do, andall you've done for six decades is volunteer
(22:03):
work. You don't care about anyof this other stuff. You're singularly minded
on your mission to help people withMS. And then you start seeing people
in email use these pronouns after yourname, and she didn't know what that
meant. You ask, And ifyou don't know what it means, you
ask someone and they go, wellit means all inclusive. Well what do
you see? How? It justgets even weirder if you don't live in
(22:26):
this garbage world of activist rhetoric.So then as a thinking person, she's
like, well, if it's notreferring to men, why is it all
inclusive? So a couple of daysafter the conversation, she was told that
she had to step down as avolunteer for the MS Society. The letter
(22:47):
said, quote, dear fram,I hope this email finds you well.
We appreciate your dedication and contribution asa self help group leader with our organization.
She says that the letter said that, as we discussed earlier on one
of at our phone conversation, aftera thorough review of our guidelines and standards,
(23:10):
it has come to our attention thatthere has been a failure to abide
by our diversity, equity and inclusionguidelines during your time as a volunteer.
Unfortunately, based on the situation,we have made the difficult decision to have
you step down from your volunteer position, effective immediately. Although the Lakewood Long
Beach Self Help Group will no longerbe formally affiliated with our organization, we
(23:33):
want to emphasize that does not meanthe end of your group's activities. You
can continue meeting and dependent independently fromthe society, et cetera, et cetera.
You know, this email was sentby someone who hasn't even done a
half or a third or a quarterof the work she's done, and she
said that the verbiage she still didshe couldn't even understand that she couldn't be
(23:56):
a part of as a volunteer,and her daughter pointed out the irony in
the statement that they were excluding aninety year old disabled woman who volunteered for
over sixty years. She's won awardswith her work. They gave her a
Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award in two thousandand eight. Her husband went out and
met Jimmy Carter when he was stillin office because he won MS Father of
(24:18):
the Year. And the daughter addedthat it's sad that they're discriminating against her
because MS doesn't discriminate. She literallyasked a question because she just didn't know
what it meant. She doesn't livein that world. She doesn't pay attention
to that stuff. And the daughterblasted the MS Society's entire mission and wondered
(24:41):
if they're too focused on inclusive talkand not working to actually fight MS there
and I agree with her. Shesaid she's going to continue with her group
because the patients want to keep going. Can you believe the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society is actually valuing pronouns over fightingMS, because that's exactly what this is.
(25:03):
They are betraying their mission and they'resacrificing the fight for MS. At
the altar of transactivist rhetoric. Itis offensive. It's offensive most to the
people that they claim to help.Is there nothing free from the infection of
(25:26):
this activist rhetoric. She's a ninetyyear old woman. I would love to
know the identity and age of theperson that thought it was acceptable to force
a ninety year old woman who hadmore experience than the entire lifetimes of the
people who probably let her told herto step down as a volunteer where they
(25:48):
get off or where they think theyhave the right to ask her to step
down simply because she asked for clarification. And notice that at no time they
offered no clarification. She wasn't doingit to me make a political statement.
I mean, and to be frankwith you, when your fight is about
pronouns, you look like a moron. You're forcing everyone else to play along
(26:10):
with your fantasy perspective, and youclaim that you're doing it because you want
them to be nice to you,But by god, if they don't,
then you're going to go after theirjob and everything else. Now tell me
the irony in that position. Iwouldn't want to give any more. I
wouldn't want to give any money tothe National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation after that,
(26:32):
because you don't even know what they'regoing to use it for clearly they're not
prioritizing work and advocacy on behalf ofthe patients that go and see them.
This is just how insidious. Thisis. Ninety years old, multiple awards,
(26:53):
that's all she does. She loveshelping people and working with people.
And she literally asked a question andapparently they provided everything. You know,
she asked a question like what doesthat mean? Why is that? Because
it sounded like she was asking thequestion like should I be doing that too?
Honestly, that's what it sounded likewhen I was reading through the discussion.
(27:14):
She didn't say it, but itsounded like she was trying to figure
out if that is that something thatshe needs to be doing on behalf of
m us, Like what do yousee it? She's ninety years old,
that is not her world, andmost people who did not come up in
that way where you worship rhetoric,they don't prioritize that stuff. I can't
even believe this has to be explained. And I also think it is the
(27:37):
indulgence of the younger activist generation whothink that everything has to live and die
by this stupid stuff. Thanks fortuning into the day's edition. Of Dana
