Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Caltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. All right, Cain and
I are really trying to figure thisone out. So the headline is this
a quadriplegic YouTube star, first offYouTube star. This dude who's on YouTube
(00:28):
who's a quadriplegic is went to courtand was charged somehow with striking a Miami
cop with his wheelchair, and eventhe judges like, I've never seen a
case like this. Thirty two yearold Brian Bryant Amastha is facing two counts
(00:48):
of battery on a police officer.Despite being unable to utilize his limbs,
Amastha is accused of hitting the officerthe guy on you, I'm not saying.
YouTube star A Massa denies the allegationsagainst him. The quadriplegic YouTuber was
charged with striking in Miami cop withhis wheelchair in a bizarre incident, the
(01:10):
likes of which the judge has saidhe has never before seen. Bryant Amastha,
known as recording artist El Valiente,is facing two counts of battery on
a law enforcement officer, but heapparently is accused of using his motorized wheelchair
and allegedly spitting on the officer.Well, we did wonder how this was
(01:40):
gonna. I can't, dude,I cannot. With the screen grabs of
his videos, the YouTuber boasts asubstantial following. He's a mass nearly one
hundred thousand followers, and somehow sharesmusic videos featuring himself singing surrounded by dancing
women in bikinis who were clearly beingpaid. Asked if he spit on the
(02:00):
cop, a mass that told LocalTen I absolutely did not. He said.
She bumped my wheelchair because I wasstanding in the driveway and the driveway
is thin. And he said,so I suffer from acid reflux and I
normally spit, and I spat ina totally different direction. Wow, I
(02:22):
don't know, man, Cain,you want to, I don't. I
have absolutely no desire to comment onthis particular story. Thank you, though,
appreciate the offer. But no,oh my gosh, I just can't.
Even with the screen grabs. There'sno body cam footage of the incident.
So it's like he said, shesaid, but still, but how
do you get two counts? You'rea quadriplegic, and you get two counts
(02:44):
of battery. A Mass's attorney toldthe judge, obviously, my client is
not a flight risk. But wait, there's more. A Florida man was
arrested for carving his name into adeputy's patrol car. I just wanted to
go back to prison, said theFlorida man. Interlin Leonce, thirty three,
(03:05):
was arrested on April twenty ninth,booked in a Broward County jail on
criminal mischief. Now. According toMargate Police Department's arrest affidavit, a witness
reported seeing Lyons vandalizing the patrol carbefore taking off. They noticed that the
suspect, I'd use a metal toolto etch quote the name is Enderlin Leonce
end quote on the driver's side onthe driver's side hood of the patrol vehicle.
(03:31):
Yes, that Inderlin Lyonce probably tooka while carve that into the car,
and the officer, well, wait, there's more. The officer met
with Lyons at his home and whenhe asked if he did it, Leonce
allegedly said, quote, I didit. I committed a crime and I
should be going to jail end quote. So he was first taken up to
(03:55):
the hospital because they're like, you'recrazy, and then they took him to
jail. So there's one thousand dollarsdamage to the patrol car. So they
got yeah, oh my gosh,let's see. We've got a shirtless Florida
man with Wendy's beef caught on camerathreatening to rob a Wendy's. A man
accused of trying to set his girlfriendon fire. We also have a Florida
(04:15):
man who plants tracking devices on hisroommates. Van oh yes, there's tons
tons. We have a naked woman, naked Florida woman who broke into her
neighbor's house. And uh yeah,we got somebody who took a bite out
of a deputy's head. That's allcoming up tomorrow because no mercury's out of
retro grade. This is just Floridasomething not just Florida at Florida. It's
(04:38):
Australia of America. That's what itis. That's what's happening here. So
uh oh, and then we gotthis one real quick at Florida man crawled
through floorboards during a getaway. WantedFlorida man, nineteen year old Gage Dennis.
Your name is Backwards faces charges ofattempted first to gray murder and burglary.
He's got a nice tat above hiseyebrow and he tried hiding under a
house. But guess what that itdidn't work. The police found him.
(05:02):
I agree with Annie Oakley who saidquote, I would like to see every
woman know how to handle guns asnaturally as they know how to handle babies.
Now, I myself regularly concealed carrynine millimeter. Now that's said.
Not every woman is like me,has had the hours of training that I've
had, or it feels comfortable aroundfirearms due to years of use, or
maybe they're by a gun free zone. I like to change that what I
can, while encouraging self defense atthe same time. So this is where
(05:26):
BURNA comes in. It's kind oflike a starter weapon. It's they make
a non firearm firearm. I likethe idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants
towards a threat as an additional optionfor women, and the Berna SD model
shoots chemical irritant projectiles sixty eight caliberrounds that can deter threats in their tracks
up to fifty feet away. Imean it is hard easy target acquisition.
(05:51):

com slash Dana. Uh you,guys, I need to share this story
(06:16):
with you. You're not gonna belavethis headline? You ready for it?
What's up with Chicago's mayors? Firstoff, let me ask that because remember
the last lady? Why are youlaughing? We're not going to get through
the segment, are we? Wedo remember that last lady? Yeah?
(06:44):
Yeah, but you remember she wentto a salon when everything was locked down
and she came back out looking thesame. She's like, I got it,
I got standards. I gotta maintainon the face of the city.
So you have Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Guys, he spent thirty thousand dollars
(07:10):
on personal grooming in one year.On makeup. He spent thirty thousand dollars
on makeup. I as a girlwho is on television five days a week,
and I do my own hair andmakeup. I don't even spend thirty
thousand dollars a year. I don'tspend anywhere near thirty thousand dollars a year
on hair and makeup. What ishe doing? He's a man? Have
(07:33):
you seen him? How is hespending thirty thousand dollars on hair and makeup
a year? So he My firstthought was he had to hire makeup artist,
like a full time makeup artist.So he spent Oh my gosh,
(07:55):
he's spent four thousand dollars on hairappointments at a beauty salon. A man?
Can I say something? I don'treally know if I feel like dudes
should be going anything but a barbershop. You know what I'm saying.
I'm a little old school, likeI don't want to be at my lady's
salon and look over and see youa man. I just don't. I'm
not being ignorant. I'm really sexistabout this stuff. I am admittedly sexist.
(08:20):
I just like I think men controlthe yard and the thermostat and the
car stuff, and women control likethe food stuffs and the interior, right,
and the family schedule. That's howthis works, right, That's how
this all works, That's what I'msaying. Like, I don't even put
gas in my own car. Ihave not put gas in my own car.
(08:46):
I don't even know. I mean, I know how to do it.
I just choose to not. Ijust don't do it. Like I
will not even if I and mykids will die if I'm out, because
I'm the only girl in my family. I won't even open my own door.
I will stand in front of itand stare at it like a helpless
Jedi trying to use a mind trick. And I will wait for a mail
(09:07):
in my party to open the door. Not because I'm helpless, because I'm
not touching the door. I don't. I am sexist. I freely admit
it. I freely admit it.Right, Just like if I walk past
the thermostat and I feel like it'scold, I'll turn and look at my
husband. I'll go, what's thetemperature? I ask him what the temperature
(09:28):
is instead of just grink. See, that's a give and take, right.
I don't have to put gas inmy car, that's the give and
take. Anyway. I don't wantto be in a salon and looking over
and seeing you a man in thesalon. Right, is it weird?
Like you wouldn't want to be atthe barber shop and look over and see
a woman, right? I feellike the barbershops where the men go.
(09:50):
Is that sexist? I don't careanyway, he spent four that, oh
my gosh, four thousand dollars goingto the salon. He hardly has hair.
We're in a world where we wouldn'texpect to see men and women's bathrooms
alone. Well, true, ladysalons, lady salons. I don't think
(10:15):
you gotta say lady salon. Ithink that's redundant. It's salon, a
barbershaw, that's it. So hehired this lady. Her name's Denise Malloy.
Uh, and she runs like amakeup I guess she does makeup.
She does a makeup company. Uhsee, oh Malloy's makeup magic. It
(10:37):
made j I see all right?Sounds great. Yeah, And the payments
are listed under candidate makeup for TV, makeup retainer, candidate makeup, candidate
makeup for debate. And then apparentlyhe after he was elected, he has
tons of payments to make up magicthat fall under like a very general catch
(10:58):
all campaign expense description. Right,and he apparently used financial contributions from his
supporters to foot the bill. Canyou think about this form. Imagine that
you donated to this man's campaign andyou found out that your donation went to
a foundation for a man. I'mjust saying he spent that much money.
I just can't. I thought Iwas donating to a foundation. You mean
(11:22):
I was buying foundation? Yeah.And then so of some of his supporters
are going, well, his expendituresare supporting black and woman owned businesses.
Forty thousand dollars, y'all. That'sinsane for a man to spend on makeup.
It's insane to say that a manhas spent money on makeup. I
(11:43):
mean I get for TV, theytouch up and they do that stuff.
Although, can I just say sidebarreal quick. This is when I was
a CNN I was the token conservativeback in the day when I was like
the only conservative there besides Ari Fleischer, and we did it was in it
was a debate something debate. Itwas like a Republican primary or something that
CNN was hosting, and Herman Kanewas there and they were going to put
(12:07):
a bunch of makeup on Herman Kanebecause apparently like he was super shiny or
something, and he just stopped andlooked at them, and as they reached
over to him, his head leanedaway. As they were and I was
in the makeup room when this washappening. He was like nope. And
then they finally were like, oh, mister Kane, you know, can
we And he did relent, butit was hysterical. He walked in there
(12:28):
and was like, yeah, Idon't think you're gonna be doing that.
He's like, I'm not doing acommercial now, like, well, you
are on television and you know itjust it was a riot. But this
guy, the mayor of Chicago fortythousand dollars, I tell you what,
we got a lot more. Huhyeah. And now all of the news
you would probably miss. It's timefor Dana's Quick five. So North Korea
(12:50):
publicly executed a twenty two year olddude for listening to K pop. That
happened. It's a part of Pyongyang'sruthless crackdown on outside and form and culture.
According to South Korea, they saidthat the young man was publicly executed
because he had listened to seventy SouthKorean songs, watched three films, and
(13:11):
apparently distributed some of them, sothey killed him. I mean, that's
the country where you can only literallyhave like one type of haircut, right,
you know, you only get oneor like for dudes you get like
one or two types of haircuts.For women you get like four or five.
I think that's about it. Idon't know. Texas hospitals reportedly the
first in the US to use hologramsfor doctor patient visits. It's the Crescent
(13:35):
Regional Hospital, thirteen miles south ofDallas. They installed a hollow box three
D system. It projects a hologramof a doctor so they can perform real
time consult consults of patients at aclinic thirty miles But you know, you
could just do a DMN zoom thingor a Skype call or a FaceTime.
It does so that way you don'thave to go to their hollow box.
If you're just sitting there in frontof a damn hologram. It's not like
they can sit here. And youknow, what's the point of that.
(13:58):
This is stupid? Am I wrong? Yeah? Like they can't do They're
like, oh my gosh, we'reso exhavy to bring some of this talk
to you. They can't do anythingmore than if it was a FaceTime So
goofy. I don't know, Idon't get it. Am I being too
harsh? No? Never why Iwould just think if you eat something called
(14:22):
Uncle Frogs mushroom gummies, something's gonnahappen to you. This company is apologizing
to people who have been hospitalized acrossAustralia. They said it wasn't our intention
after you had unexpected toxicity and allkinds of hallucinations. It's called Uncle Frog's
mushroom gummies. What did you thinkwas gonna happen? Yeah, it sounded
(14:46):
like they did the job like itwas you know, but all these people
had to go to the hospital.They've recovered, but they had to issue
an apology with salery that you didin my mushroom gummies, we're gonna make
you just trip beans. We didn'twith selery. What do they think this
is going to happen? Oh,let's see. Oh, a New Jersey
(15:07):
man trying to warp beach goers abouta storm got struck by lightning and it
killed him. That's so get offthe beach when it's lightning and thundering,
Just get off the beach. Getoff the beach, Get off the beach.
That should be a warning to youstick with us more to come.
An iconic La landmark still in thedark, almost six months after thieves stole
nearly seven miles worth of copper wiringthat illuminated the six Street bridge. In
(15:30):
fact, they're waiting for us torepair them. They want us to repair
them because every light post to themis an ATM machine. It's a pure
cash. So when we go andrepair, what do they do? They
go and they still again. CouncilMember Kevin de Leone helped create a task
force to crack down on the copperwire thefts plaguing the city. More than
six thousand incidents were reported city widelast year, repairs exceeding seventeen million dollars.
(15:54):
The task force also working on waysto prevent a costly repeat of the
crime along the famous bridge, sincerepairs there are expected to top two million
dollars. We need to come upwith creative ways to reinforce the the metals,
the cement that protect the safeguard thewires so thieves can just walk up.
(16:15):
The picturesque bridge has been besieged withthis guy. What the hell?
This guy is so clueless his he'sKevin de Leon. He's a council he's
in California government, he's in stategovernment, and he's the guy when they
held the that held the as aCalifornia elected official. He held a press
conference with uh DOJ in California andatf and they were talking about quote unquote,
(16:41):
uh what was it? He wastalking about ghost guns and he was
talking about uh what was it?Was it pistol braises and he sounded like
an absolute moron, And that videowent viral. So it's he's still as
goofy and dumb as he was.I mean, there's a consistent and see
this is the yeah, play thisif we have it. This is the
(17:02):
same. It was the same guy. He was up there with a rifle
and he's he's holding it and he'slike, you know this is I gosh,
you're gonna kill some brain cells withoutalcohol. Here's how what this is
a ghost gun? This right herehas ability with a thirty caliber clip,
Oh gosh, to disperse with thirtybullets within half a second? What thirty
(17:23):
magazine clip? What a second?What? Oh my gosh, shut up,
It's not a ghost gun, youepic moron. And by the way
people can make stuff at home fortheir own personal use. What is sends
out eleventy kajillion bullets in a second? Yeah, that spits out thirty whole
(17:48):
bullets in a half second, likeall it once? Or does it?
I see? This is why Icouldn't just be a member of the press
press and sit and ask these peoplequestions, because I would be an absolute
troll. Like That's one of thereasons why I love Peter Doocy so much
and he does such a great job. But you mean, do they spit
them out, council member, allat once or individually in half a second?
(18:12):
That's what I would ask anyway.This guy, so he's he's sitting
here, going, we need tofigure out a way to you know,
reinforce the concrete for the copper orI don't know, maybe you can just
send people to jail and start prosecutingwhen they do stuff like this instead of
going, no, we don't havethe we just can't. We just can't
(18:33):
do it, because that's what happens. That's why people are doing it more
and more because no one's getting prosecutedover it, prosecuted over it, and
so get the government is so greatat making everything so cost prohibitive. Why
don't they do that with the fineslike these? That's say, hey,
you know what, if you're everconvicted of anything like this, here's the
fine, and it's like ten timeswhatever you stole or whatever the case may
(18:57):
be. Make a deterrent, makehappen. Why do you keep letting these
people out in the streets with thistype of stuff to happen and then to
be lectured by a guy? Imean, the average I think it's what
the average it's six hundred rpm,so it's like ten rounds, it's ten
rounds a second. That's the averagemachine gun. And what he's talking about
(19:18):
is the semi automatic who says hesays that the clip, the thirty round
magazine clip, shoots thirty bullets inhalf a second. He doesn't even does
he even know? I don't evenknow if he knew he's holding a gun
until someone told him what it was, Nor does he know the measurement of
(19:38):
time? Can we talk about theheroic amount of will that it took for
the cops standing next to him tokeep a straight face as he was saying
this. As Kevin Deleone was sayingthis stuff, he's holding it. You
could tell you didn't even know howto hold it either. He's like this,
this is it's a ghost gun,and it has a magazine clip,
(20:03):
and it shoots thirty thirty bullets ina half second. I could make fun
of this guy all day long.The cop that's standing behind him is just
looking at him, like, mygosh, I can't even believe I'm sitting
here listening to this. I cannotjust you know, why did they is
this? Was this the most knowledgeableguy that they had to talk about that
(20:23):
at the time. Apparently it's athirty caliber magazine clip that delivers all the
rounds. You have a second witha thirty caliber clip, caliber clip to
disperse with thirty bullets within half asecond. All the bullets in the thirty
magazine come out of the magazine clip. Magazine clip thirty six. What's the
(20:48):
math on that? Let me think, wait to say, thirty six hundred
dollar PM. Guys, I cannotget, I get Oh my gosh,
uh, I can't deal. Ican't deal that. So that guy's sitting
(21:11):
here lecturing about the bridges, youknow, the going to reinforce the copper,
the wires with the copper in theconcrete. It probably took them ten
minutes to strip that bridge or thatthat area that he was in at that
But I don't know, that's whatyou gotta start prosecuting for this stuff.
(21:33):
But they that's what. They don'tdo that, So you're you know,
that's why this key's happening because theydon't do any of that. Thanks for

a law enforcement officer, but heapparently is accused of using his motorized wheelchair

(01:40):
gonna. I can't, dude,I cannot. With the screen grabs of
his videos, the YouTuber boasts asubstantial following. He's a mass nearly one
hundred thousand followers, and somehow sharesmusic videos featuring himself singing surrounded by dancing
women in bikinis who were clearly beingpaid. Asked if he spit on the
(02:00):
cop, a mass that told LocalTen I absolutely did not. He said.
She bumped my wheelchair because I wasstanding in the driveway and the driveway
is thin. And he said,so I suffer from acid reflux and I

have absolutely no desire to comment onthis particular story. Thank you, though,

So it's like he said, shesaid, but still, but how
do you get two counts? You'rea quadriplegic, and you get two counts
(02:44):
of battery. A Mass's attorney toldthe judge, obviously, my client is

arrested for carving his name into adeputy's patrol car. I just wanted to
go back to prison, said theFlorida man. Interlin Leonce, thirty three,
(03:05):

I'm a little old school, likeI don't want to be at my lady's
salon and look over and see youa man. I just don't. I'm
not being ignorant. I'm really sexistabout this stuff. I am admittedly sexist.
(08:20):
I just like I think men controlthe yard and the thermostat and the
car stuff, and women control likethe food stuffs and the interior, right,
and the family schedule. That's howthis works, right, That's how
this all works, That's what I'msaying. Like, I don't even put
gas in my own car. Ihave not put gas in my own car.
(08:46):
I don't even know. I mean, I know how to do it.
I just choose to not. Ijust don't do it. Like I
will not even if I and mykids will die if I'm out, because
I'm the only girl in my family. I won't even open my own door.
I will stand in front of itand stare at it like a helpless
Jedi trying to use a mind trick. And I will wait for a mail
(09:07):
in my party to open the door. Not because I'm helpless, because I'm
not touching the door. I don't. I am sexist. I freely admit
it. I freely admit it.Right, Just like if I walk past
the thermostat and I feel like it'scold, I'll turn and look at my
husband. I'll go, what's thetemperature? I ask him what the temperature
(09:28):
is instead of just grink. See, that's a give and take, right.
I don't have to put gas inmy car, that's the give and
take. Anyway. I don't wantto be in a salon and looking over
and seeing you a man in thesalon. Right, is it weird?
Like you wouldn't want to be atthe barber shop and look over and see
a woman, right? I feellike the barbershops where the men go.
(09:50):
Is that sexist? I don't careanyway, he spent four that, oh
my gosh, four thousand dollars goingto the salon. He hardly has hair.
We're in a world where we wouldn'texpect to see men and women's bathrooms
alone. Well, true, ladysalons, lady salons. I don't think
(10:15):
you gotta say lady salon. Ithink that's redundant. It's salon, a
barbershaw, that's it. So hehired this lady. Her name's Denise Malloy.
Uh, and she runs like amakeup I guess she does makeup.
She does a makeup company. Uhsee, oh Malloy's makeup magic. It
(10:37):
made j I see all right?Sounds great. Yeah, And the payments
are listed under candidate makeup for TV, makeup retainer, candidate makeup, candidate
makeup for debate. And then apparentlyhe after he was elected, he has
tons of payments to make up magicthat fall under like a very general catch
(10:58):
all campaign expense description. Right,and he apparently used financial contributions from his
supporters to foot the bill. Canyou think about this form. Imagine that
you donated to this man's campaign andyou found out that your donation went to
a foundation for a man. I'mjust saying he spent that much money.
I just can't. I thought Iwas donating to a foundation. You mean
(11:22):
I was buying foundation? Yeah.And then so of some of his supporters
are going, well, his expendituresare supporting black and woman owned businesses.
Forty thousand dollars, y'all. That'sinsane for a man to spend on makeup.
It's insane to say that a manhas spent money on makeup. I
(11:43):
mean I get for TV, theytouch up and they do that stuff.
Although, can I just say sidebarreal quick. This is when I was
a CNN I was the token conservativeback in the day when I was like
the only conservative there besides Ari Fleischer, and we did it was in it
was a debate something debate. Itwas like a Republican primary or something that
CNN was hosting, and Herman Kanewas there and they were going to put
(12:07):
a bunch of makeup on Herman Kanebecause apparently like he was super shiny or
something, and he just stopped andlooked at them, and as they reached
over to him, his head leanedaway. As they were and I was
in the makeup room when this washappening. He was like nope. And
then they finally were like, oh, mister Kane, you know, can
we And he did relent, butit was hysterical. He walked in there
(12:28):
and was like, yeah, Idon't think you're gonna be doing that.
He's like, I'm not doing acommercial now, like, well, you
are on television and you know itjust it was a riot. But this
guy, the mayor of Chicago fortythousand dollars, I tell you what,
we got a lot more. Huhyeah. And now all of the news
you would probably miss. It's timefor Dana's Quick five. So North Korea
(12:50):
publicly executed a twenty two year olddude for listening to K pop. That
happened. It's a part of Pyongyang'sruthless crackdown on outside and form and culture.
According to South Korea, they saidthat the young man was publicly executed
because he had listened to seventy SouthKorean songs, watched three films, and
(13:11):
apparently distributed some of them, sothey killed him. I mean, that's
the country where you can only literallyhave like one type of haircut, right,
you know, you only get oneor like for dudes you get like
one or two types of haircuts.For women you get like four or five.
I think that's about it. Idon't know. Texas hospitals reportedly the
first in the US to use hologramsfor doctor patient visits. It's the Crescent
(13:35):
Regional Hospital, thirteen miles south ofDallas. They installed a hollow box three
D system. It projects a hologramof a doctor so they can perform real
time consult consults of patients at aclinic thirty miles But you know, you
could just do a DMN zoom thingor a Skype call or a FaceTime.
It does so that way you don'thave to go to their hollow box.
If you're just sitting there in frontof a damn hologram. It's not like
they can sit here. And youknow, what's the point of that.
(13:58):
This is stupid? Am I wrong? Yeah? Like they can't do They're
like, oh my gosh, we'reso exhavy to bring some of this talk
to you. They can't do anythingmore than if it was a FaceTime So
goofy. I don't know, Idon't get it. Am I being too
harsh? No? Never why Iwould just think if you eat something called
(14:22):
Uncle Frogs mushroom gummies, something's gonnahappen to you. This company is apologizing
to people who have been hospitalized acrossAustralia. They said it wasn't our intention
after you had unexpected toxicity and allkinds of hallucinations. It's called Uncle Frog's
mushroom gummies. What did you thinkwas gonna happen? Yeah, it sounded
(14:46):
like they did the job like itwas you know, but all these people
had to go to the hospital.They've recovered, but they had to issue
an apology with salery that you didin my mushroom gummies, we're gonna make
you just trip beans. We didn'twith selery. What do they think this
is going to happen? Oh,let's see. Oh, a New Jersey
(15:07):
man trying to warp beach goers abouta storm got struck by lightning and it
killed him. That's so get offthe beach when it's lightning and thundering,
Just get off the beach. Getoff the beach, Get off the beach.
That should be a warning to youstick with us more to come.
An iconic La landmark still in thedark, almost six months after thieves stole
nearly seven miles worth of copper wiringthat illuminated the six Street bridge. In
(15:30):
fact, they're waiting for us torepair them. They want us to repair
them because every light post to themis an ATM machine. It's a pure
cash. So when we go andrepair, what do they do? They
go and they still again. CouncilMember Kevin de Leone helped create a task
force to crack down on the copperwire thefts plaguing the city. More than
six thousand incidents were reported city widelast year, repairs exceeding seventeen million dollars.
(15:54):
The task force also working on waysto prevent a costly repeat of the
crime along the famous bridge, sincerepairs there are expected to top two million
dollars. We need to come upwith creative ways to reinforce the the metals,
the cement that protect the safeguard thewires so thieves can just walk up.
(16:15):
The picturesque bridge has been besieged withthis guy. What the hell?
This guy is so clueless his he'sKevin de Leon. He's a council he's
in California government, he's in stategovernment, and he's the guy when they
held the that held the as aCalifornia elected official. He held a press
conference with uh DOJ in California andatf and they were talking about quote unquote,
(16:41):
uh what was it? He wastalking about ghost guns and he was
talking about uh what was it?Was it pistol braises and he sounded like
an absolute moron, And that videowent viral. So it's he's still as
goofy and dumb as he was.I mean, there's a consistent and see
this is the yeah, play thisif we have it. This is the
(17:02):
same. It was the same guy. He was up there with a rifle
and he's he's holding it and he'slike, you know this is I gosh,
you're gonna kill some brain cells withoutalcohol. Here's how what this is
a ghost gun? This right herehas ability with a thirty caliber clip,
Oh gosh, to disperse with thirtybullets within half a second? What thirty
(17:23):
magazine clip? What a second?What? Oh my gosh, shut up,
It's not a ghost gun, youepic moron. And by the way
people can make stuff at home fortheir own personal use. What is sends
out eleventy kajillion bullets in a second? Yeah, that spits out thirty whole
(17:48):
bullets in a half second, likeall it once? Or does it?
I see? This is why Icouldn't just be a member of the press
press and sit and ask these peoplequestions, because I would be an absolute
troll. Like That's one of thereasons why I love Peter Doocy so much
and he does such a great job. But you mean, do they spit
them out, council member, allat once or individually in half a second?
(18:12):
That's what I would ask anyway.This guy, so he's he's sitting
here, going, we need tofigure out a way to you know,
reinforce the concrete for the copper orI don't know, maybe you can just
send people to jail and start prosecutingwhen they do stuff like this instead of
going, no, we don't havethe we just can't. We just can't
(18:33):
do it, because that's what happens. That's why people are doing it more
and more because no one's getting prosecutedover it, prosecuted over it, and
so get the government is so greatat making everything so cost prohibitive. Why
don't they do that with the fineslike these? That's say, hey,
you know what, if you're everconvicted of anything like this, here's the
fine, and it's like ten timeswhatever you stole or whatever the case may
(18:57):
be. Make a deterrent, makehappen. Why do you keep letting these
people out in the streets with thistype of stuff to happen and then to
be lectured by a guy? Imean, the average I think it's what
the average it's six hundred rpm,so it's like ten rounds, it's ten
rounds a second. That's the averagemachine gun. And what he's talking about
(19:18):
is the semi automatic who says hesays that the clip, the thirty round
magazine clip, shoots thirty bullets inhalf a second. He doesn't even does
he even know? I don't evenknow if he knew he's holding a gun
until someone told him what it was, Nor does he know the measurement of
(19:38):
time? Can we talk about theheroic amount of will that it took for
the cops standing next to him tokeep a straight face as he was saying
this. As Kevin Deleone was sayingthis stuff, he's holding it. You
could tell you didn't even know howto hold it either. He's like this,
this is it's a ghost gun,and it has a magazine clip,
(20:03):
and it shoots thirty thirty bullets ina half second. I could make fun
of this guy all day long.The cop that's standing behind him is just
looking at him, like, mygosh, I can't even believe I'm sitting
here listening to this. I cannotjust you know, why did they is
this? Was this the most knowledgeableguy that they had to talk about that
(20:23):
at the time. Apparently it's athirty caliber magazine clip that delivers all the
rounds. You have a second witha thirty caliber clip, caliber clip to
disperse with thirty bullets within half asecond. All the bullets in the thirty
magazine come out of the magazine clip. Magazine clip thirty six. What's the
(20:48):
math on that? Let me think, wait to say, thirty six hundred
dollar PM. Guys, I cannotget, I get Oh my gosh,
uh, I can't deal. Ican't deal that. So that guy's sitting
(21:11):
here lecturing about the bridges, youknow, the going to reinforce the copper,
the wires with the copper in theconcrete. It probably took them ten
minutes to strip that bridge or thatthat area that he was in at that
But I don't know, that's whatyou gotta start prosecuting for this stuff.
(21:33):
But they that's what. They don'tdo that, So you're you know,
that's why this key's happening because theydon't do any of that. Thanks for
