Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's right, this is the Dana Show and it's time
for Florida Man. My name is Craig Collins Phill Again.
I got two of them. The first story, fifty four
year old guy named Richard that is important to the story.
His last name is Hallmark. I don't know why I'd
care about that part. Was pulled over by the cops.
When he was asked who he was, he said his
name was Robert, which is actually his brother. The cops
(00:35):
then looked into his vehicle. They found a backpack that
contained a bunch of pot, methamphetamines, all kinds of illegal
stuff in Florida. So they said, hey, whose backpack is this.
He goes, oh, that's my brother's. His name is Robert,
which is the name he gave them, pretending that I
guess he was actually his brother. And then he realized
his mistake. And I know, even though people like George
(00:58):
Foreman name a whole lot of their kids the exact
same name, believing that there were two Robert Hallmarks was
too much for the cops to believe. So the guy
broke immediately he goes and I'm actually Richard, I'm not Robert.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I just told you guys that because while I have a.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Warrn out for my arrest and I don't know what's
going on with my brother, but that's totally his backpack,
whichever Richard or Robert you want to believe that he is.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I love that that mistake happened so quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Police were able to crack the case, and Richard Hallmark
is now in jail and he's probably going to be
in there for a little bit as we figure out
whose backpack it is. His brother Robert probably not thrilled
to be a part of the story, unless in fact
he's guilty too. I don't know, but that's a nice moment.
We're like, no, no, that's not who I am. But
then that's also not my backpack, and I've backed myself
(01:43):
into a corner. That's one Florida man that's out of
Central Florida. The other one is just outside of Tampa.
A guy went into a Publix and loaded up a
cart of stuff and then just wheeled out, which is
actually a felony based on the amount of money that
he was stealing.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
People called authorities.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, the dude was putting the groceries he didn't pay
for inside his vehicle. And this is the craziest part
of this story. The guy went back into the publics
to do it again. He was like, hey, this worked
the first time. His name is Andrew, he's forty two
years old. As he was going through his second attempt
to steal more stuff and rolling a second cart full
of groceries and things he did not pay for out
(02:22):
to his vehicle, the cops arrived.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They arrested him.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
As I said, he's actually going to wind up with
felony charges because of the amount of money he was
stealing from the publics. But I liked that he stayed
to commit the crime a second time, just in fact,
so they could catch him in the act. Is nicer
than just having the video and everything else proved that
what you did is a thing you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
My favorite part of this story, though, is the statement
from a local police in the area, the Polk County Sheriff,
A Grady Judd, who said Sylvester tried to steal not one,
but two cartfuls of groceries from publics, and then he
paused for a second and said, shopping is a pleasure,
so it's nice that the sheriff is on board with
the team at publics. He then said that Stunt landed
(03:06):
him in county jail, where arresting criminals is our pleasure,
which I love even more. Create your own tagline about
how idiots get in trouble if they're doing certain things
in Florida, we're in other places like New York, they're
promptly just released again, as horrible as it is, and
I wound up back doing terrible things, things much worse
(03:27):
than just stealing a bunch of groceries from a grocery store.
I don't know how you have the I don't even
know what I want to call it, because it's not
a good thing. I wouldn't call it courage. I'd call
it the you know, arrogance to go into a store
load up with groceries and just roll out and think
you're not going to get in trouble for that. I
don't know how many people do that or attempt to
(03:48):
do it in our world. It feels like it's too many.
And this dude, you know, just looks like the kind
of guy that doesn't give a crap about anything. I
don't have to say it any differently, certainly doesn't give
a crap about the beard that he's letting just grow insanely.
But that makes sense to me. But again, I don't
know where you get the hootspa or whatever I.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Should call it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's negative even attempt this and to go back for
round two. I wonder what's in his brain. I would
genuinely like to talk to him and discuss it, although
he's not going to be available for a while for
an interview because he's busy doing other stuff, just because
I want to understand that mindset of Hey man, let's
try this out a few times see if it works,
because I can't get there.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Our friends over at Caltech.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The P fifteen that stands for fifteen PUS standard capacity,
and it ships with two magazines. One's the fifteen round
minimal pinky extension. The other's flush fit double stack that
holds twelve. Now there's two versions. There's the muddle frame
and you have the wood panel texture grip. It's really gorgeous,
it's a walnut wood. And then you have the polymer
version with the gator grip texture. Really, I mean both
(04:53):
are great.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I have both. I love them. Trittium fiber optic front.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Sight fully adjustable fiber optic, two dot raar, Striker fire
will liability, great trigger pool. I mean it literally just
is that the thinnest, lightest nine millimeter you know, Striker fire,
your your your concealed carry that you can get, and
I mean it's lighter and thinner than you know the
other stuff that I have. I have forty three X
and this just just makes that look bulky and you
(05:17):
don't you don't lose stopping power, you don't lose concealability.

Tell them Dana sent you.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in with you today,
thrilled to be here.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Dana is back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Lots and lots of things out there, but the absolute
biggest discussion, biggest conversation is easily the fact that Joe
Biden decided, after claiming he wouldn't do it for quite
some time, to pardon his son Hunter Biden, of any
and all charges, any and all crimes going all the
way back to twenty fourteen, which is an interesting time
(06:12):
to choose because that's when the Beisma stuff first started
to happen between Hunter and between even the current Vice
president at the time, which would be Joe Biden, and
leaves us in this very odd state where we have
a lot of questions and by design, absolutely no answers,
although that might change. Hunter Biden can now no longer
(06:33):
plead the fifth if he's brought in to testify in
front of Congress for something, because well, he can't be
tried for anything, so there is no jeopardy there. But
let's play some of the brilliant supercut that was put
out by Tom Elliott of Grabian of all the times
they lied to us and told us this would not happen.
Joe himself said he wouldn't do it, that they believed
(06:54):
that no one was above the law unless that person
is named Biden. Probably going to wind up pardoning a
lot of other Biden family members as they would be
next on the list as far as people you go after,
because Hunter didn't act alone. Feels like a statement that
I could say time and again. But here again is
the brilliant Tom Elliot Agravian of putting together nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't play all of it of media.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Praising Biden for something he absolutely did that they said
he wasn't going to.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Do nditions of our democracy.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
So there is an opportunity here for Biden to say,
you know, the jury found him guilty.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
This is how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Period, paragraph, end of store. Have you ruled out a
pardon for your son?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yes, As I said last week, I will accept the
outcome of this case and will continue to respect the
judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. You know, the
President said he won't touch it. He said he's not
going to pardon his son, and it seems that Mayor
Garland let it go through. How can the Justice Department
be weaponized against Trump when all of.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That is happening.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
But Democrats stand for the rule of law, remember law
and order, you know, and we've been saying that Trump's
above the law. Hunter, Biden's not above the law. No
one is above the law. And it is amazing to
see the stark contrast between how Democrats handled today and
how Republicans handled this whole thing over the last couple
of weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The egg on everybody's face.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
If that's actually all I thought it was, and not
you know, like honest or actual intentional lying. I shouldn't
call anything honest but purposeful giving us just crap information
after crap information.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And as I said, Tom Elliott put together nine minutes
of this, you can find it on X.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
We can play a little more outcome of the case.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I know no other word for that, but presidential.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
He even went so far as to say he wouldn't
pardon his son.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's how much respect he has for the system. President
has said that he will not pardon his son. What
did you think of that?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
I thought it was extraordinary. I mean, it was a
moment of just moral clarity on the part of Joe
Biden and couldn't have been in you know, starker contrast
to the way Donald Trump has handled his own conviction.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know what's so interesting about all this too, I'll
stop it there. The left loves when they can point
to something and say, look at how different this would
be if Trump were involved. They love vilifying the former president,
and yet and the soon to be current president, and
yet so often we see them do exactly the thing
they say that Trump will do, even if he's never
(09:26):
done it before.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The threat to do what is out there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean, look at the world we live in right
now and the amount of danger that is essentially on
a world stage because of conflicts that didn't happen when
Trump was in office that sound like they might be
resolved when Trump gets back into office that did happen
during this administration. There's just so many lies and it's
so crazy. And beyond it all is the statement by
(09:51):
many that if you actually, you know, dive deep enough,
you'll understand why it happened, or you'll see how you know,
political this higher thing was, which is amazing because it's
exactly the same stuff that Trump has been saying for well,
not that I'm saying you should believe it in this case,
but Trump has been saying it for a while and
media has been attacking him for even putting that idea
(10:13):
out there. One last thing on this corin, John Pierre,
the White House Press Secretary, was asked this standing outside
of Air Force one with a gaggle of reporters. Her
and John Kirby were given initial questions, and this was
the back and forth, which again I thought, was it's
just they've been priming you for this for a while
in saying that Hunter is a child and that Joe
(10:37):
is just a really great father, and anyone could have
sympathy for all of the challenges that he's faced, whatever
it might be. So we've been hearing a version of
the inevitable excuse for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But here it is.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, the President
has said for months no pardon was coming. I just
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as the American people is really incredibility as you
here given now this announcement.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
Yes, First of all, one of the things that the
President always believes is to be truthful to the American people.
That is something that he always truly believes. H And
if you see the end of his I assume that
you've read his statement and you look at the end
of that statement, and he actually says that in the
first line of the last paragraph and respects the thinking
(11:29):
and how the American people will.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Actually see this now the American people don't see it
the way you want them to see it, and didn't
see a whole lot of other things that you told
us were one.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Way the way that you saw them.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We saw a lot of lies and a lot of crap,
and we're seeing it again. And the heartstrings approach of saying,
he's just a father that's taking care of his son,
and any other father would do that in that situation,
Actually you're enabling your son to continue doing horrible stuff,
not saying that Hunter Biden is necessarily falling back back
into all those worlds he was in before, although there
(12:02):
was cocaine found in the White House, which feels to
be relevant even more so today than before.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So a bunch of quick five stories in the world
of football that I thought were interesting. Buffalo Bill's the
team asked their fans to help clear snow up before
the game they had the other night.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
All bunch of fans showed up, volunteering to clear two
to three feet of snow over the weekend in order
to play and have people actually be able to show
up at the stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A lot of the snow was left in the seats.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Though according to the videos, which is weird on people
did have to still sit on piles of it. I
don't think they got anything for volunteering to help clean
snow either, which is wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Give them something.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You got to get some sort of Yeah, maybe you
can't go to the game if the tickets are sold out,
but I got to get something, some sort of win here.
And I don't see what the prize was, but it
wasn't much. Michigan and Ohio State got into a brawl.
Pepper spray was used by police after Michigan defeated Ohio State.
Yet again, the number two Buckeyes fell to an unranked team.
That's a big deal and also probably a conversation because
(14:16):
of the pepper spray and whatnot over the holiday. And
then finally, the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech had
one of the most incredible games in NCAA football history,
going eight overtimes, but also demonstrating that the college football
playoff rules are stupid. I just play regular football into overtimes.
I don't care if it goes a long time. I
(14:37):
didn't love the argument back when it was first made.
I think in the mid to early two thousands. He
had to change the rules because they're college athletes and
for the player's health. If two teams are going to
play real football and not gimmick versions of you got
to go for two and weird things football for eight
or nine overtimes, let it happen. Man, I want to
(14:57):
be back in that world. I don't want to be
in the crap world, especially when a two point conversion
wins a game it didn't deserve to win.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
All right, Non football related stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Also in the Quick five, a man jumped out of
a roller coaster in Arizona, or more like climbed out,
although jumped is the word a lot of people are using,
when he realized he wasn't locked into it right as
it was approaching its first big drop. It's a roller
coaster that actually goes upside down a couple times, so
terrifying situation. And the dad said he was lucky it
(15:27):
was him and not his kids. I have a couple
pieces of audio of this, but this is this is insane.
His lap bar released right before they started the part
of the roller coaster. It probably doesn't end up well
for him.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
It was just adrenaline and I didn't want to die
that day. I heard a click noise that was different
from the chain taking us up the hill, and I
checked my flat bar and it released. It could have
been one of the eleven year olds, could have been
somebody older not as agile.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It could have been a lot of things that happened there,
and it's terrifying. He actually went on to also say
that he was surprised no one saw him climbing out
of the roller coaster and stopping the ride, As mentioned
in I think that news coverage and other places, Arizona
is one of a few states that doesn't have any
sort of oversight over some of their roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Probably something you want after this, and honestly, just real quick.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
As a kid, I was convinced, although I didn't get
off the ride, I stayed on it, that I had
a lap bar that released a little bit, not all
the way, on a ride that just would swing you
upside down constantly, and I survived because I believe I
held myself into the ride, and as a kid, I
remember all of the people my family I was with
being like, that can't happen. You're being crazy. Now I
(16:39):
feel like maybe it was true. I can't prove it.
I don't know. I was young and I didn't actually
fall out of said coaster, but part of me thought
it happened then and believes maybe it happened now, although
I wasn't in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So maybe that's a part that's missing in my story.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Taxpayers also spent eighteen million on Jack Smith and his
cases going after Donald Trump. That's a whole lot of
just wasted money twenty you know, one, twenty two, twenty
three million dollars, depending on what assessment you look at,
just flush down the toilet, to do a whole lot
of things that either seemed absolutely politically motivated or that
(17:14):
are now being claimed to be politically motivated by the
current president. That's my favorite. Other part, if I have one,
to the way in which Joe Biden, our president, put
out a statement saying that he was pardoning his son
is he makes several references to a deep political, corrupt
(17:34):
process that went after Hunter because his name is Biden.
It sounds an awful lot like all the things Trump
says about all the unfair investigations into him. And actually
there's one other thing I can't get over this. I'll
play some audio in just a second that I find
interesting too, But I think NBC News put out a
(17:54):
a opinion piece. They're the ones that published it, talking
about how many journalists have left X about twenty two thousand.
I'm not sure if we'd all call them journalists, but
that's what their byline says they are. And the twenty
eight thousand, five hundred or so that have joined Blue Sky,
which is trying to be the old version of Twitter
(18:16):
all over again. That censor's just one side of a discussion.
This is a genuine question, and I actually want to
ask it in a genuine way, even if it's going
to seem a little snooty or snarky or whatever you
want to call it. If you're really a journalist, if
your desire is to tell the truth to the world,
why would you run away from a platform that allows
(18:38):
you to say whatever you want, that allows you to,
you know, engage people who don't think you're telling the truth,
that allows you essentially to fight whatever disinformation and misinformation
you see is out there directly, and go to a
platform that's just going to hide that stuff. If you
were actually after the truth, which you know journalists of
(18:59):
old we're after, I think they'd love to be on
a Twitter, at least what they claim Twitter to be.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I don't agree with them on what they say
it is. But if it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Platform where a whole lot of people that disagree with
you are willing to pay attention or go after you
or whatever you think they're doing, and you can just
refute them with facts, those can live on that platform
and be there for anyone else to see and be
influenced by.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But that's not actually the point.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The point of a lot of these journalists isn't to
go after a topic or issue and give you more
data and more you know, truthful information to sway your opinion.
It's to remain in their echo chamber. And so a
whole lot of journalists are demonstrating to you how much issue,
how much of an issue they have with a fair platform,
(19:48):
and how much desire they have for an unfair one,
so that you just accept everything they say is true
without the counter argument. It's it's incredibly disappointing or lazy,
or whatever other words you want to choose to use
to see this published by an NBC or anyone else
as like a good thing, Like now we know that
(20:09):
a blue sky is a more valuable platform because the
journalists who are afraid of conversations are running to it
and running away from the other one. That's essentially like
begging to be a lawyer that only takes cases that
you know you'll win, that you think every part of
you is like, oh, okay, I know what's set up here,
I know who the jury is, I know I'll win,
(20:29):
regardless of the facts. That's not actually trying to fight
the good fight man, and the journalists always want us
to believe that. It's horrible to say out loud that
they're you know, biased or corrupt too.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's terrible. How dare anyone think those things?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Apparently they just want to be in their place where
you know, they have the easiest ability to hide from
any of that scrutiny. To me, hilarious and also off.

It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's right, this is the Dana Show and it's time
for Florida Man. My name is Craig Collins Phill Again.
I got two of them. The first story, fifty four
year old guy named Richard that is important to the story.
His last name is Hallmark. I don't know why I'd
care about that part. Was pulled over by the cops.
When he was asked who he was, he said his
name was Robert, which is actually his brother. The cops
(00:35):
then looked into his vehicle. They found a backpack that
contained a bunch of pot, methamphetamines, all kinds of illegal
stuff in Florida. So they said, hey, whose backpack is this.
He goes, oh, that's my brother's. His name is Robert,
which is the name he gave them, pretending that I
guess he was actually his brother. And then he realized
his mistake. And I know, even though people like George
(00:58):
Foreman name a whole lot of their kids the exact
same name, believing that there were two Robert Hallmarks was
too much for the cops to believe. So the guy
broke immediately he goes and I'm actually Richard, I'm not Robert.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I just told you guys that because while I have a.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Warrn out for my arrest and I don't know what's
going on with my brother, but that's totally his backpack,
whichever Richard or Robert you want to believe that he is.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I love that that mistake happened so quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Police were able to crack the case, and Richard Hallmark
is now in jail and he's probably going to be
in there for a little bit as we figure out
whose backpack it is. His brother Robert probably not thrilled
to be a part of the story, unless in fact
he's guilty too. I don't know, but that's a nice moment.
We're like, no, no, that's not who I am. But
then that's also not my backpack, and I've backed myself
(01:43):
into a corner. That's one Florida man that's out of
Central Florida. The other one is just outside of Tampa.
A guy went into a Publix and loaded up a
cart of stuff and then just wheeled out, which is
actually a felony based on the amount of money that
he was stealing.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
People called authorities.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, the dude was putting the groceries he didn't pay
for inside his vehicle. And this is the craziest part
of this story. The guy went back into the publics
to do it again. He was like, hey, this worked
the first time. His name is Andrew, he's forty two
years old. As he was going through his second attempt
to steal more stuff and rolling a second cart full
of groceries and things he did not pay for out
(02:22):
to his vehicle, the cops arrived.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They arrested him.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
As I said, he's actually going to wind up with
felony charges because of the amount of money he was
stealing from the publics. But I liked that he stayed
to commit the crime a second time, just in fact,
so they could catch him in the act. Is nicer
than just having the video and everything else proved that
what you did is a thing you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
My favorite part of this story, though, is the statement
from a local police in the area, the Polk County Sheriff,
A Grady Judd, who said Sylvester tried to steal not one,
but two cartfuls of groceries from publics, and then he
paused for a second and said, shopping is a pleasure,
so it's nice that the sheriff is on board with
the team at publics. He then said that Stunt landed
(03:06):
him in county jail, where arresting criminals is our pleasure,
which I love even more. Create your own tagline about
how idiots get in trouble if they're doing certain things
in Florida, we're in other places like New York, they're
promptly just released again, as horrible as it is, and
I wound up back doing terrible things, things much worse
(03:27):
than just stealing a bunch of groceries from a grocery store.
I don't know how you have the I don't even
know what I want to call it, because it's not
a good thing. I wouldn't call it courage. I'd call
it the you know, arrogance to go into a store
load up with groceries and just roll out and think
you're not going to get in trouble for that. I
don't know how many people do that or attempt to
(03:48):
do it in our world. It feels like it's too many.
And this dude, you know, just looks like the kind
of guy that doesn't give a crap about anything. I
don't have to say it any differently, certainly doesn't give
a crap about the beard that he's letting just grow insanely.
But that makes sense to me. But again, I don't
know where you get the hootspa or whatever I.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Should call it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's negative even attempt this and to go back for
round two. I wonder what's in his brain. I would
genuinely like to talk to him and discuss it, although
he's not going to be available for a while for
an interview because he's busy doing other stuff, just because
I want to understand that mindset of Hey man, let's
try this out a few times see if it works,
because I can't get there.

Our friends over at Caltech.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The P fifteen that stands for fifteen PUS standard capacity,
and it ships with two magazines. One's the fifteen round
minimal pinky extension. The other's flush fit double stack that
holds twelve. Now there's two versions. There's the muddle frame
and you have the wood panel texture grip. It's really gorgeous,
it's a walnut wood. And then you have the polymer
version with the gator grip texture. Really, I mean both
(04:53):
are great.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I have both. I love them. Trittium fiber optic front.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Sight fully adjustable fiber optic, two dot raar, Striker fire
will liability, great trigger pool. I mean it literally just
is that the thinnest, lightest nine millimeter you know, Striker fire,
your your your concealed carry that you can get, and
I mean it's lighter and thinner than you know the
other stuff that I have. I have forty three X
and this just just makes that look bulky and you
(05:17):
don't you don't lose stopping power, you don't lose concealability.

This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in with you today,
thrilled to be here.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Dana is back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Lots and lots of things out there, but the absolute
biggest discussion, biggest conversation is easily the fact that Joe
Biden decided, after claiming he wouldn't do it for quite
some time, to pardon his son Hunter Biden, of any
and all charges, any and all crimes going all the
way back to twenty fourteen, which is an interesting time
(06:12):
to choose because that's when the Beisma stuff first started
to happen between Hunter and between even the current Vice
president at the time, which would be Joe Biden, and
leaves us in this very odd state where we have
a lot of questions and by design, absolutely no answers,
although that might change. Hunter Biden can now no longer
(06:33):
plead the fifth if he's brought in to testify in
front of Congress for something, because well, he can't be
tried for anything, so there is no jeopardy there. But
let's play some of the brilliant supercut that was put
out by Tom Elliott of Grabian of all the times
they lied to us and told us this would not happen.
Joe himself said he wouldn't do it, that they believed
(06:54):
that no one was above the law unless that person
is named Biden. Probably going to wind up pardoning a
lot of other Biden family members as they would be
next on the list as far as people you go after,
because Hunter didn't act alone. Feels like a statement that
I could say time and again. But here again is
the brilliant Tom Elliot Agravian of putting together nine minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't play all of it of media.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Praising Biden for something he absolutely did that they said
he wasn't going to.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Do nditions of our democracy.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
So there is an opportunity here for Biden to say,
you know, the jury found him guilty.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
This is how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Period, paragraph, end of store. Have you ruled out a
pardon for your son?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yes, As I said last week, I will accept the
outcome of this case and will continue to respect the
judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. You know, the
President said he won't touch it. He said he's not
going to pardon his son, and it seems that Mayor
Garland let it go through. How can the Justice Department
be weaponized against Trump when all of.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That is happening.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
But Democrats stand for the rule of law, remember law
and order, you know, and we've been saying that Trump's
above the law. Hunter, Biden's not above the law. No
one is above the law. And it is amazing to
see the stark contrast between how Democrats handled today and
how Republicans handled this whole thing over the last couple
of weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The egg on everybody's face.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
If that's actually all I thought it was, and not
you know, like honest or actual intentional lying. I shouldn't
call anything honest but purposeful giving us just crap information
after crap information.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And as I said, Tom Elliott put together nine minutes
of this, you can find it on X.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
We can play a little more outcome of the case.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I know no other word for that, but presidential.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
He even went so far as to say he wouldn't
pardon his son.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's how much respect he has for the system. President
has said that he will not pardon his son. What
did you think of that?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
I thought it was extraordinary. I mean, it was a
moment of just moral clarity on the part of Joe
Biden and couldn't have been in you know, starker contrast
to the way Donald Trump has handled his own conviction.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know what's so interesting about all this too, I'll
stop it there. The left loves when they can point
to something and say, look at how different this would
be if Trump were involved. They love vilifying the former president,
and yet and the soon to be current president, and
yet so often we see them do exactly the thing
they say that Trump will do, even if he's never
(09:26):
done it before.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The threat to do what is out there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean, look at the world we live in right
now and the amount of danger that is essentially on
a world stage because of conflicts that didn't happen when
Trump was in office that sound like they might be
resolved when Trump gets back into office that did happen
during this administration. There's just so many lies and it's
so crazy. And beyond it all is the statement by
(09:51):
many that if you actually, you know, dive deep enough,
you'll understand why it happened, or you'll see how you know,
political this higher thing was, which is amazing because it's
exactly the same stuff that Trump has been saying for well,
not that I'm saying you should believe it in this case,
but Trump has been saying it for a while and
media has been attacking him for even putting that idea
(10:13):
out there. One last thing on this corin, John Pierre,
the White House Press Secretary, was asked this standing outside
of Air Force one with a gaggle of reporters. Her
and John Kirby were given initial questions, and this was
the back and forth, which again I thought, was it's
just they've been priming you for this for a while
in saying that Hunter is a child and that Joe
(10:37):
is just a really great father, and anyone could have
sympathy for all of the challenges that he's faced, whatever
it might be. So we've been hearing a version of
the inevitable excuse for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But here it is.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election, the President
has said for months no pardon was coming. I just
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as the American people is really incredibility as you
here given now this announcement.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
Yes, First of all, one of the things that the
President always believes is to be truthful to the American people.
That is something that he always truly believes. H And
if you see the end of his I assume that
you've read his statement and you look at the end
of that statement, and he actually says that in the
first line of the last paragraph and respects the thinking
(11:29):
and how the American people will.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Actually see this now the American people don't see it
the way you want them to see it, and didn't
see a whole lot of other things that you told
us were one.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Way the way that you saw them.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We saw a lot of lies and a lot of crap,
and we're seeing it again. And the heartstrings approach of saying,
he's just a father that's taking care of his son,
and any other father would do that in that situation,
Actually you're enabling your son to continue doing horrible stuff,
not saying that Hunter Biden is necessarily falling back back
into all those worlds he was in before, although there
(12:02):
was cocaine found in the White House, which feels to
be relevant even more so today than before.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So a bunch of quick five stories in the world
of football that I thought were interesting. Buffalo Bill's the
team asked their fans to help clear snow up before
the game they had the other night.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
All bunch of fans showed up, volunteering to clear two
to three feet of snow over the weekend in order
to play and have people actually be able to show
up at the stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A lot of the snow was left in the seats.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Though according to the videos, which is weird on people
did have to still sit on piles of it. I
don't think they got anything for volunteering to help clean
snow either, which is wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Give them something.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You got to get some sort of Yeah, maybe you
can't go to the game if the tickets are sold out,
but I got to get something, some sort of win here.
And I don't see what the prize was, but it
wasn't much. Michigan and Ohio State got into a brawl.
Pepper spray was used by police after Michigan defeated Ohio State.
Yet again, the number two Buckeyes fell to an unranked team.
That's a big deal and also probably a conversation because
(14:16):
of the pepper spray and whatnot over the holiday. And
then finally, the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech had
one of the most incredible games in NCAA football history,
going eight overtimes, but also demonstrating that the college football
playoff rules are stupid. I just play regular football into overtimes.
I don't care if it goes a long time. I
(14:37):
didn't love the argument back when it was first made.
I think in the mid to early two thousands. He
had to change the rules because they're college athletes and
for the player's health. If two teams are going to
play real football and not gimmick versions of you got
to go for two and weird things football for eight
or nine overtimes, let it happen. Man, I want to
(14:57):
be back in that world. I don't want to be
in the crap world, especially when a two point conversion
wins a game it didn't deserve to win.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
All right, Non football related stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Also in the Quick five, a man jumped out of
a roller coaster in Arizona, or more like climbed out,
although jumped is the word a lot of people are using,
when he realized he wasn't locked into it right as
it was approaching its first big drop. It's a roller
coaster that actually goes upside down a couple times, so
terrifying situation. And the dad said he was lucky it
(15:27):
was him and not his kids. I have a couple
pieces of audio of this, but this is this is insane.
His lap bar released right before they started the part
of the roller coaster. It probably doesn't end up well
for him.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
It was just adrenaline and I didn't want to die
that day. I heard a click noise that was different
from the chain taking us up the hill, and I
checked my flat bar and it released. It could have
been one of the eleven year olds, could have been
somebody older not as agile.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It could have been a lot of things that happened there,
and it's terrifying. He actually went on to also say
that he was surprised no one saw him climbing out
of the roller coaster and stopping the ride, As mentioned
in I think that news coverage and other places, Arizona
is one of a few states that doesn't have any
sort of oversight over some of their roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Probably something you want after this, and honestly, just real quick.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
As a kid, I was convinced, although I didn't get
off the ride, I stayed on it, that I had
a lap bar that released a little bit, not all
the way, on a ride that just would swing you
upside down constantly, and I survived because I believe I
held myself into the ride, and as a kid, I
remember all of the people my family I was with
being like, that can't happen. You're being crazy. Now I
(16:39):
feel like maybe it was true. I can't prove it.
I don't know. I was young and I didn't actually
fall out of said coaster, but part of me thought
it happened then and believes maybe it happened now, although
I wasn't in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So maybe that's a part that's missing in my story.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Taxpayers also spent eighteen million on Jack Smith and his
cases going after Donald Trump. That's a whole lot of
just wasted money twenty you know, one, twenty two, twenty
three million dollars, depending on what assessment you look at,
just flush down the toilet, to do a whole lot
of things that either seemed absolutely politically motivated or that
(17:14):
are now being claimed to be politically motivated by the
current president. That's my favorite. Other part, if I have one,
to the way in which Joe Biden, our president, put
out a statement saying that he was pardoning his son
is he makes several references to a deep political, corrupt
(17:34):
process that went after Hunter because his name is Biden.
It sounds an awful lot like all the things Trump
says about all the unfair investigations into him. And actually
there's one other thing I can't get over this. I'll
play some audio in just a second that I find
interesting too, But I think NBC News put out a
(17:54):
a opinion piece. They're the ones that published it, talking
about how many journalists have left X about twenty two thousand.
I'm not sure if we'd all call them journalists, but
that's what their byline says they are. And the twenty
eight thousand, five hundred or so that have joined Blue Sky,
which is trying to be the old version of Twitter
(18:16):
all over again. That censor's just one side of a discussion.
This is a genuine question, and I actually want to
ask it in a genuine way, even if it's going
to seem a little snooty or snarky or whatever you
want to call it. If you're really a journalist, if
your desire is to tell the truth to the world,
why would you run away from a platform that allows
(18:38):
you to say whatever you want, that allows you to,
you know, engage people who don't think you're telling the truth,
that allows you essentially to fight whatever disinformation and misinformation
you see is out there directly, and go to a
platform that's just going to hide that stuff. If you
were actually after the truth, which you know journalists of
(18:59):
old we're after, I think they'd love to be on
a Twitter, at least what they claim Twitter to be.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I don't agree with them on what they say
it is. But if it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Platform where a whole lot of people that disagree with
you are willing to pay attention or go after you
or whatever you think they're doing, and you can just
refute them with facts, those can live on that platform
and be there for anyone else to see and be
influenced by.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But that's not actually the point.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The point of a lot of these journalists isn't to
go after a topic or issue and give you more
data and more you know, truthful information to sway your opinion.
It's to remain in their echo chamber. And so a
whole lot of journalists are demonstrating to you how much issue,
how much of an issue they have with a fair platform,
(19:48):
and how much desire they have for an unfair one,
so that you just accept everything they say is true
without the counter argument. It's it's incredibly disappointing or lazy,
or whatever other words you want to choose to use
to see this published by an NBC or anyone else
as like a good thing, Like now we know that
(20:09):
a blue sky is a more valuable platform because the
journalists who are afraid of conversations are running to it
and running away from the other one. That's essentially like
begging to be a lawyer that only takes cases that
you know you'll win, that you think every part of
you is like, oh, okay, I know what's set up here,
I know who the jury is, I know I'll win,
(20:29):
regardless of the facts. That's not actually trying to fight
the good fight man, and the journalists always want us
to believe that. It's horrible to say out loud that
they're you know, biased or corrupt too.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's terrible. How dare anyone think those things?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Apparently they just want to be in their place where
you know, they have the easiest ability to hide from
any of that scrutiny. To me, hilarious and also off.
