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 3 (00:14):
Florida Man Dylan Brewer from Clearwater Beach was sentenced to
probation and community service for vandalizing a graffitied crosswalk in
Delray Beach. So it's a graffiti crosswalk. They vandalized the
crosswalk and made a Pride flag on it, and then
he vandalized the vandalism and he got in trouble. Uh.
(00:38):
They said that he performed a burnout on the crosswalk
and that's that's why he was charged. Someone charged him
for driving and burning out on a crosswalk, specifically because
they painted the crosswalk with Pride colors.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
They revoked his license for a year.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
He's got twelve months probation in one hundred and fifty
hours of community service. That's the dumbest stuff I've ever
heard of. That is so stupid. That is so stupid.
So so MU should give him uber for a year.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So goofy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Let's say, I mean, since it's paint on the you're
vandalizing a city street. You can't van, you can't get
in trouble. For vandalizing somebody else's vandalism.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's so dumb.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
A Florida man ordered about five hundred dollars in food
without paining at two separate restaurants. And that's a lot
of food.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Polk County, Florida. He ordered five hundred dollars in food
and drinks at two separate restaurants in less than fourteen days.
He was charged with defrauding and innkeeper. They didn't spell
innkeeper wrong over at the AOL website where this story
comes from. They pulled it from Fox thirty five or Lando,
though he two different restaurants. I don't even know how
you can eat all the stuff that he ordered one
(01:51):
Sunset martini and after eating he just like would walk
out of the back doors and didn't attempt to pay.
So they booked him into Polkinty Jail. He out a
couple of days later. Florida residents are worn. It's that
time of the year watch out for falling iguanas. The
temperature when it drops below the mid forties, Iguanas go
(02:12):
into a dormant state, a cold, stunned state, and a
lot of times they fall into the trees where they
perch there was the story a couple of years ago
with someone getting killed because they got hit in the
head by an iguana that dropped out of a tree.
So they said that if the cold wave evolves, the
maximum temperature departures, you could see a lot more iguana's
falling out of the trees because of this cold, this
(02:34):
cold snap that's pushing through, and so they said, just
look out for them. They're stunned. They can be up
to five feet long, they can wave up to twenty
five pounds, and they yeah, if you don't or if
you're not paying attention to them.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Falling out of the tree, you can get a hit.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's literally a story that we have every year. It's crazy.
So everybody be careful out there with everything, and let's
see less but not least if we have time. Never
buy fireworks out of van with a guy that is
missing two fingers, because that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
This guy was.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Illegally apparently selling fireworks out the back of a van
near a meat market. The folks over at kel Tech
kel Tech longtime friend of the show. I'm a huge
fan of what kel Tech does. I'm a huge fan
of their firearms. Everything's built right here in the USA
in Florida. They have got a great story, great all
American story, and as we head into the later part
of January, this is all this about the same time
(03:24):
every year that Keltech unveils the new things that they've
been working on. This year is not going to be
any kind of exception for that. George Kelgren, who's the president, founder, designer,
mad scientist, he's actually one of the few major firearms
designers still alive today leading the way in innovation. You know,
they invented the micro compact pistol category. They came out
last year with the lightest Thinness double stack nine millimeter
(03:45):
on the market, that's the P fifteen. Everything they do
is quality, made right here in America. They got the
fold and half carbine, the sub two k's, the whole family,
that whole line. They have the KSHG shotguns, the RDB
Bullpup series, and they stand behind every everything that they make. Now,
they're going to be dropping some some new product later
this month, albeit at shot Show, broadcasting live for that
(04:07):
industry event. So there's gonna be some new product and
we'll talk all about it when it happens. You can
visit cel Tech Weapons dot com, sign up for their newsletter,
check out their social media, and you can also get
on the inside track so you can be made aware
when they drop new stuff. Innovation, Performance, Celtech, k E
L T E, c Kell Tech Weapons dot Com.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Started the year as it would be democratic presidential nominee,
and we all know what happened after that. Again, you
didn't see a particularly warm greeting between the first couple
and the second couple. But again, we are at a funeral,
so one has to take that into account.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
They're not only super sad that they can't even greet
each other cordially. That's Jake Tapper, who's an ar rating
because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris they did seeing each
other Jimmy Carter's funeral, and it's like you could not
even act for five seconds. You couldn't act for the
cameras for five seconds. When you walked in and took
your seat, you couldn't do that for five seconds. Just
(05:13):
it was weird watching all of that. Welcome to the program,
Dana lash with you. We are at the bottom of
the third hour or sorry, second hour, and I'm and
if you're tuning in, there's no video today because Texas
is covered in ice. We had a thick layer of
ice laying down and then a big o' thick layer
(05:34):
is snown It's not safe for the crew to drive
in because the roads are horrific. So everybody stay safe
out there. And of course we're praying for everybody and
his homes are being burned down.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The funeral for Jimmy Carter, you had all of the presidents,
all the surviving presidents that go in. They sit in
the order of when they took office. And you had
the Pences who were sitting next to Gore, and then
Trump and Milania come in and they shook hands with
Gore and Pence, who rose to greet them. Karen Pence Stacy,
(06:08):
she stayed seated. She did not look at Milania, nor
did she look at Trump. And then they took their seats.
And then you had Obama come in and he didn't
shake Trump or Malania's hand, but he briefly kind of
you know, acknowledged them, and then he shook Mike Pence
and Karen Pence's hand, and then Al Gore and then
(06:28):
he sat down. And then the Bushes come in and
George Bush comes in and wraps Obama on the stomach,
just doesn't even look at the Trumps, and then he
goes and greets the Pences and al Gore, and then
the Clintons come in, and everybody greets each other except
for Trump and Milania.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's so weird.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So the only people I it was Mike Pence and
Al Gore and Obama that were actually the nicest and
were actually uh greeting and greeted Trump and Millenia. And
it was weird to watch because it seemed like Obama
(07:09):
and Bush were the kind of joyful ones, you know,
they were the ones that looked kind of joyful and happy.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And relaxed than normal.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Everyone else looked like they had accept it, and Trump
did too, but you know, in terms of how people
were treating him and Milania, everybody else kind of looked stiff.
It was weird, but the Bushes did not acknowledge the
Trumps at all. I think Bush is still angry because
Jeb exclamation point was supposed to be. Remember, he was
supposed to be the next in line. It didn't happen
(07:39):
that way. He was the next in line, he had
an open path and it didn't work out. Didn't work
out that way because Republicans, you know, you can't you
can't give us more of the same. If you're not
you don't change anything. I mean, Republicans were part of
the immigration problem, part of big spending, part of all
of it. So it's very very very interesting thing to
(07:59):
see with all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So this.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And watching it, I'm just it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You can tell that they didn't like Ea said a
Kamala and uh, what's his name? We don't have to
remember his name any much longer. The second lady, do
DU's what's her husband's name, Kamala Harris's husband's name.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh, that's right, Doug Elmoff.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The second lady or dude or whatever the hell they
come in and she's just stony faced. And then the
Biden's nobody's greeting anybody. They did not look to be
like they were happy sitting next to each other. They
didn't acknowledge each other. How do you walk into if
you know, I don't care if it's a funeral, How
do you walk into a funeral and you're walking into
(08:45):
an aisle like a pew, and you're sitting next to people,
the people who were your vice president, and you don't
even acknowledge them. They didn't acknowledge them the entirety of
the service. It is, so they hate each other. And
Hillary Clinton just recently learned how to style her hair again.
(09:07):
So she's got this big bufont eighties hair going on.
Did you see Steve saw her hair?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right? Yeah, We'll let you roll it a bit.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean, it's wild. It's gotten bigger, and she keeps
her secrets in it. I don't know it's gotten bigger
those but but they she just had like this weird
not a smile. I don't know how to describe it.
It was this weird expression just plastered on our face.
And Bill Clinton's He's kind of like Obama and Bush.
(09:38):
They're just sort of laid back and they can kind
of hang together. I think they purposefully also. I know
that they sit them in order that they've served, But
I really think that all the organizers were glad that
they weren't sitting in the bushes next to the Trumps,
and that Obama was the buffer. I think Obama had
to take one for the bushes because they because the
bushes can't stand the Trumps. It's just so fascinating to
watch all of the little pettiness play out because you
(10:00):
don't really get these sorts of You don't get these
public displays like this very often, and so when you
get them, it's completely acceptable to Zuppruder level analyze them.
And I just I keep watching it. Did anything stick
out to east?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
My favorite part was there was a moment that c
Span caught where uh Trump kept whispering jokes to Obama
and Obama kept laughing at him, and then you see
the camera pan out and Kamala turns over her left shoulder,
sees them laughing, and then turns right back around with
like a pout and looks at Doug. It was the best.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, he was cracking up. I want to know what
he said, wasn't there there? I think they were like
liperators or something saying that, Oh my gosh, that's gonna
be great.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But I don't know. I just I did the whole thing.
It was very interesting, but it was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
When when Bush came in, it was like he skipped
in and he he They all acted like they were
running late. When the Bushes came in, they like barreled
over and Uh Obama stood up. The Trumps didn't, and
he Bush wrapped Obama like in the abdomen, because he
and Obama apparently get along very well. And it's just
(11:11):
very fascinating. I'm watching some of this now. I'm super
fascinated by all of this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do the Bushes and the Trumps have beef or I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Bush and the Trumps, Yeah, oh yeah, they think that.
So Jebb was going to be the guy, and then
Trump made fun of him and then just ripped it
right out of his hands.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Remember that they did not like him for that. They
did not like him for that at all.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I mean, it went so far that w would even
defend Obama from Trump's criticisms. He kept saying that he
wasn't going to get super political and politicize anything. And
I don't know, maybe there's other stuff that they know
that we don't, but I don't know. It was just
very interesting. And then when the Clintons came, Bush stood
up for the Clintons as Hillary and Bill approached, and
(11:55):
Trump and Malania just stay seated, and I thought it
was interesting. Obama stayed seated when Hillary walked up too,
because Obama and Hillary don't like each other. They never
have liked each other historically, I feel like we're sitting
at the lunch room table and we're gossiping about people,
and it's so worth it because you never get these
displays like this ever. You never get to see stuff
like this ever and then all and it is really hard.
(12:18):
I think when you get old like that too. One
of the things my grandmother told me is that as
she got older, she had less energy to pretend to
like people that she didn't want to like. And I
always thought that was hysterical when I was younger, but
that now, you know, I get it, Like, as you
get older, you just don't have time for the nonsense.
And I think that all plays out. I don't know
(12:38):
if Biden knew where he was, I don't know, but
Obama and Trump were cutting up and it was funny.

(14:08):
So a cookwear group has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota's
p fas ban the toxic chemical stuff. So a cookwaar
group has filed the lawsuit against the ban. It's the
Cookwar Sustainability Alliance. They filed it against the Commissioner of
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and they're trying the law
(14:31):
went to affect Inguary. First, they're trying to say it's
unconstitutional and unenforceable the forever chemicals that are in the
distribute that are in the cookwaar and the laws banning
the sale and distribution of such cookwaar, and it covers
you know, everything from rugs, cookwaar, all kinds of stuff.
So they said that it imposes a burden on interstate
commerce and discriminates against out of state commerce and as
(14:52):
a result, it violates the commerce clause in the Constitution.
So that's the angle that they're going for to try
to stop that band.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
This Girl Scouts are retiring two cookie flavors, the s'mores.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And I don't even know that these existed.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I haven't bought Girls scott cookies since they're playing parenthood
stuff because I just thought it was inappropriate for young
girls selling cookies to be you know, for them to
have an association with planned parenthood. But they said that
they are discontinuing those. I didn't even know. There was
the s'mores and the toast ya cookie. If it's not
then men, it's trash thin mint or the uh no,
(15:29):
just then mint. If it's not that, it's trash. So
they they are discontinuing those. Let's see this, uh ooh,
two hundred aggressive monkeys. There's a war that has been
launched on them, the macaque monkey that's in Thailand.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
They have a huge problem with us.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They're actually violent and bity uh and they and they
steal people's stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So they've tried to sterilization campaign, but apparently that didn't
get them the results that they wanted. And so now
they're in the second phase of the war. They're planning
to newt or one hundred of these monkeys, and then
they did one hundred and twenty two of them in
one district last year.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Now they're going.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To try to establish feeding zones to prevent them from
straying into residential spaces where they've been attacking people. And
you know, I just I mean, why don't they train them,
train them to do stuff. Male strippers are facing extinctions.
They said that there were no male strippers booked for
(16:29):
in Britain. There was not a single male stripper apparently
that was booked for a bachelor party or an I
just women are not like dudes. And they said that
bookings for those experiences increased elsewhere, but not for dudes.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I wanted to switch gears here. We got to talk.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
About why are are all the lesbians in California named Kristin?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think they have to be.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Lorraine found this interesting thread specifically on these fire chiefs,
and I mean, I don't care if they're all lesbian's
name Kristin. I just think it's hysterical that they are
all lesbian's name Kristin. The first fire chief that they
have a gay woman, Kristin Crowley, and then they have
(17:18):
their assistant chief for the fire department, Kristin Kepner. She
went to the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations.
I don't even know what that means. She apparently was
accused of beating her girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know. And then there's.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
The first I don't know what is an equity bureau chief.
What the hell does that have to do with fire?
The co founder of Equity on Fire. It's the Los
Angeles Fire Department's equity bureau chief, the first lesbian equity
(17:57):
bureau chief. She makes three hundred and ninetynine thousand dollars
a year. I think for three hundred ninety nine thousand
dollars a year, a lot of people would pretend to
be gay and interested in equity.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I am amazed at this.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
They're all named Christine or they're all named Kristen, all
of them. And then you get to the Los Angeles
Fire Department training commander. Now, I will say, this chick
does look like a legit dude, Jamie Brown. She stands
out because her name isn't Kristin. So there, the entire
(18:35):
Los Angeles Fire Department is a bunch of old white lesbians,
with the exception of the one lesbian whose name is
still Kristen.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Right, I don't even.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I golly, I cannot even this is I can't even
make this up. So, just to recap, in California, the
entirety of the fire department is run by old white
lesbian's name Chris, with the exception of one black lesbian
named Kristen. Did they like was that a goal? Did
they set out to have them all be like? What
(19:11):
is the what is in the what the world? And
why do you what the hell do you have to
have an equity department for? You're the fire department. You
fight fires. That's all you do is fires. What do
you do fires?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's it?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
You don't do anything else. I just you cannot make
this stuff up. This is and no wonder they're burning,
no wonder, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I mean I feel like.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
This.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Now, I don't think anybody's arguing that the alphabet stuff
has anything to do with the fire. What we are
arguing is the priorities, clearly of Los Angeles, because while
they were allowed the i mean the accumulated record rainfall
to just drain into the ocean, they weren't capturing the water.
(20:09):
They weren't making sure their hydrants were working, they weren't
trying to talk with land management, especially in federal land.
Bureau of Land Management comes into play with a lot
of that. They did make sure that they checked all
the lesbian Christians and checked all those boxes to work
(20:29):
in the fire department. That's you gotta admit it's weird,
and clearly the priority wasn't on actual fire They created
all of these other They can't afford to hire more firefighters,
but they can afford to pay half a million dollars
to someone who's an equity bureau chief.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Whatever the hell that is.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Can anyone explain that one to me? What the hell
does an equity bureau chief do? It's so prevalent, the
equity that you have to have like a whole bureau
for it. How do you what school do you go
to for that job.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm all for women becoming firefighters, but like being good
at it, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, be good at it, like, you know, learn how
to fight a damn fire and learn when to deploy stuff.
So they're apparently they're also getting criticism because they waited
so long to deploy. I'm just think about that for
a minute. When you've got I think they said it's
one thousand feet a second. Just think about that in
(21:26):
your head real quick. How fast that is? When seconds count?
You can't wait to deploy your fire department. You can't wait.
When seconds count, you cannot wait. So they're getting a
lot of criticism. And it's interesting because the criticism is
coming from withinside the department that they took too long
(21:52):
to deploy.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's a whole other man. You know, there's going to
be lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Florida Man Dylan Brewer from Clearwater Beach was sentenced to
probation and community service for vandalizing a graffitied crosswalk in
Delray Beach. So it's a graffiti crosswalk. They vandalized the
crosswalk and made a Pride flag on it, and then
he vandalized the vandalism and he got in trouble. Uh.
(00:38):
They said that he performed a burnout on the crosswalk
and that's that's why he was charged. Someone charged him
for driving and burning out on a crosswalk, specifically because
they painted the crosswalk with Pride colors.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
They revoked his license for a year.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
He's got twelve months probation in one hundred and fifty
hours of community service. That's the dumbest stuff I've ever
heard of. That is so stupid. That is so stupid.
So so MU should give him uber for a year.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So goofy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Let's say, I mean, since it's paint on the you're
vandalizing a city street. You can't van, you can't get
in trouble. For vandalizing somebody else's vandalism.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's so dumb.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
A Florida man ordered about five hundred dollars in food
without paining at two separate restaurants. And that's a lot
of food.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Polk County, Florida. He ordered five hundred dollars in food
and drinks at two separate restaurants in less than fourteen days.
He was charged with defrauding and innkeeper. They didn't spell
innkeeper wrong over at the AOL website where this story
comes from. They pulled it from Fox thirty five or Lando,
though he two different restaurants. I don't even know how
you can eat all the stuff that he ordered one
(01:51):
Sunset martini and after eating he just like would walk
out of the back doors and didn't attempt to pay.
So they booked him into Polkinty Jail. He out a
couple of days later. Florida residents are worn. It's that
time of the year watch out for falling iguanas. The
temperature when it drops below the mid forties, Iguanas go
(02:12):
into a dormant state, a cold, stunned state, and a
lot of times they fall into the trees where they
perch there was the story a couple of years ago
with someone getting killed because they got hit in the
head by an iguana that dropped out of a tree.
So they said that if the cold wave evolves, the
maximum temperature departures, you could see a lot more iguana's
falling out of the trees because of this cold, this
(02:34):
cold snap that's pushing through, and so they said, just
look out for them. They're stunned. They can be up
to five feet long, they can wave up to twenty
five pounds, and they yeah, if you don't or if
you're not paying attention to them.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Falling out of the tree, you can get a hit.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's literally a story that we have every year. It's crazy.
So everybody be careful out there with everything, and let's
see less but not least if we have time. Never
buy fireworks out of van with a guy that is
missing two fingers, because that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
This guy was.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Illegally apparently selling fireworks out the back of a van
near a meat market. The folks over at kel Tech
kel Tech longtime friend of the show. I'm a huge
fan of what kel Tech does. I'm a huge fan
of their firearms. Everything's built right here in the USA
in Florida. They have got a great story, great all
American story, and as we head into the later part
of January, this is all this about the same time
(03:24):
every year that Keltech unveils the new things that they've
been working on. This year is not going to be
any kind of exception for that. George Kelgren, who's the president, founder, designer,
mad scientist, he's actually one of the few major firearms
designers still alive today leading the way in innovation. You know,
they invented the micro compact pistol category. They came out
last year with the lightest Thinness double stack nine millimeter
(03:45):
on the market, that's the P fifteen. Everything they do
is quality, made right here in America. They got the
fold and half carbine, the sub two k's, the whole family,
that whole line. They have the KSHG shotguns, the RDB
Bullpup series, and they stand behind every everything that they make. Now,
they're going to be dropping some some new product later
this month, albeit at shot Show, broadcasting live for that
(04:07):
industry event. So there's gonna be some new product and
we'll talk all about it when it happens. You can
visit cel Tech Weapons dot com, sign up for their newsletter,
check out their social media, and you can also get
on the inside track so you can be made aware
when they drop new stuff. Innovation, Performance, Celtech, k E

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Started the year as it would be democratic presidential nominee,
and we all know what happened after that. Again, you
didn't see a particularly warm greeting between the first couple
and the second couple. But again, we are at a funeral,
so one has to take that into account.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
They're not only super sad that they can't even greet
each other cordially. That's Jake Tapper, who's an ar rating
because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris they did seeing each
other Jimmy Carter's funeral, and it's like you could not
even act for five seconds. You couldn't act for the
cameras for five seconds. When you walked in and took
your seat, you couldn't do that for five seconds. Just
(05:13):
it was weird watching all of that. Welcome to the program,
Dana lash with you. We are at the bottom of
the third hour or sorry, second hour, and I'm and
if you're tuning in, there's no video today because Texas
is covered in ice. We had a thick layer of
ice laying down and then a big o' thick layer
(05:34):
is snown It's not safe for the crew to drive
in because the roads are horrific. So everybody stay safe
out there. And of course we're praying for everybody and
his homes are being burned down.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The funeral for Jimmy Carter, you had all of the presidents,
all the surviving presidents that go in. They sit in
the order of when they took office. And you had
the Pences who were sitting next to Gore, and then
Trump and Milania come in and they shook hands with
Gore and Pence, who rose to greet them. Karen Pence Stacy,
(06:08):
she stayed seated. She did not look at Milania, nor
did she look at Trump. And then they took their seats.
And then you had Obama come in and he didn't
shake Trump or Malania's hand, but he briefly kind of
you know, acknowledged them, and then he shook Mike Pence
and Karen Pence's hand, and then Al Gore and then
(06:28):
he sat down. And then the Bushes come in and
George Bush comes in and wraps Obama on the stomach,
just doesn't even look at the Trumps, and then he
goes and greets the Pences and al Gore, and then
the Clintons come in, and everybody greets each other except
for Trump and Milania.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's so weird.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So the only people I it was Mike Pence and
Al Gore and Obama that were actually the nicest and
were actually uh greeting and greeted Trump and Millenia. And
it was weird to watch because it seemed like Obama
(07:09):
and Bush were the kind of joyful ones, you know,
they were the ones that looked kind of joyful and happy.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And relaxed than normal.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Everyone else looked like they had accept it, and Trump
did too, but you know, in terms of how people
were treating him and Milania, everybody else kind of looked stiff.
It was weird, but the Bushes did not acknowledge the
Trumps at all. I think Bush is still angry because
Jeb exclamation point was supposed to be. Remember, he was
supposed to be the next in line. It didn't happen
(07:39):
that way. He was the next in line, he had
an open path and it didn't work out. Didn't work
out that way because Republicans, you know, you can't you
can't give us more of the same. If you're not
you don't change anything. I mean, Republicans were part of
the immigration problem, part of big spending, part of all
of it. So it's very very very interesting thing to
(07:59):
see with all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So this.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And watching it, I'm just it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You can tell that they didn't like Ea said a
Kamala and uh, what's his name? We don't have to
remember his name any much longer. The second lady, do
DU's what's her husband's name, Kamala Harris's husband's name.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh, that's right, Doug Elmoff.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The second lady or dude or whatever the hell they
come in and she's just stony faced. And then the
Biden's nobody's greeting anybody. They did not look to be
like they were happy sitting next to each other. They
didn't acknowledge each other. How do you walk into if
you know, I don't care if it's a funeral, How
do you walk into a funeral and you're walking into
(08:45):
an aisle like a pew, and you're sitting next to people,
the people who were your vice president, and you don't
even acknowledge them. They didn't acknowledge them the entirety of
the service. It is, so they hate each other. And
Hillary Clinton just recently learned how to style her hair again.
(09:07):
So she's got this big bufont eighties hair going on.
Did you see Steve saw her hair?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right? Yeah, We'll let you roll it a bit.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean, it's wild. It's gotten bigger, and she keeps
her secrets in it. I don't know it's gotten bigger
those but but they she just had like this weird
not a smile. I don't know how to describe it.
It was this weird expression just plastered on our face.
And Bill Clinton's He's kind of like Obama and Bush.
(09:38):
They're just sort of laid back and they can kind
of hang together. I think they purposefully also. I know
that they sit them in order that they've served, But
I really think that all the organizers were glad that
they weren't sitting in the bushes next to the Trumps,
and that Obama was the buffer. I think Obama had
to take one for the bushes because they because the
bushes can't stand the Trumps. It's just so fascinating to
watch all of the little pettiness play out because you
(10:00):
don't really get these sorts of You don't get these
public displays like this very often, and so when you
get them, it's completely acceptable to Zuppruder level analyze them.
And I just I keep watching it. Did anything stick
out to east?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
My favorite part was there was a moment that c
Span caught where uh Trump kept whispering jokes to Obama
and Obama kept laughing at him, and then you see
the camera pan out and Kamala turns over her left shoulder,
sees them laughing, and then turns right back around with
like a pout and looks at Doug. It was the best.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, he was cracking up. I want to know what
he said, wasn't there there? I think they were like
liperators or something saying that, Oh my gosh, that's gonna
be great.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But I don't know. I just I did the whole thing.
It was very interesting, but it was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
When when Bush came in, it was like he skipped
in and he he They all acted like they were
running late. When the Bushes came in, they like barreled
over and Uh Obama stood up. The Trumps didn't, and
he Bush wrapped Obama like in the abdomen, because he
and Obama apparently get along very well. And it's just
(11:11):
very fascinating. I'm watching some of this now. I'm super
fascinated by all of this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do the Bushes and the Trumps have beef or I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Bush and the Trumps, Yeah, oh yeah, they think that.
So Jebb was going to be the guy, and then
Trump made fun of him and then just ripped it
right out of his hands.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Remember that they did not like him for that. They
did not like him for that at all.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I mean, it went so far that w would even
defend Obama from Trump's criticisms. He kept saying that he
wasn't going to get super political and politicize anything. And
I don't know, maybe there's other stuff that they know
that we don't, but I don't know. It was just
very interesting. And then when the Clintons came, Bush stood
up for the Clintons as Hillary and Bill approached, and
(11:55):
Trump and Malania just stay seated, and I thought it
was interesting. Obama stayed seated when Hillary walked up too,
because Obama and Hillary don't like each other. They never
have liked each other historically, I feel like we're sitting
at the lunch room table and we're gossiping about people,
and it's so worth it because you never get these
displays like this ever. You never get to see stuff
like this ever and then all and it is really hard.
(12:18):
I think when you get old like that too. One
of the things my grandmother told me is that as
she got older, she had less energy to pretend to
like people that she didn't want to like. And I
always thought that was hysterical when I was younger, but
that now, you know, I get it, Like, as you
get older, you just don't have time for the nonsense.
And I think that all plays out. I don't know
(12:38):
if Biden knew where he was, I don't know, but
Obama and Trump were cutting up and it was funny.

(14:08):
So a cookwear group has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota's
p fas ban the toxic chemical stuff. So a cookwaar
group has filed the lawsuit against the ban. It's the
Cookwar Sustainability Alliance. They filed it against the Commissioner of
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and they're trying the law
(14:31):
went to affect Inguary. First, they're trying to say it's
unconstitutional and unenforceable the forever chemicals that are in the
distribute that are in the cookwaar and the laws banning
the sale and distribution of such cookwaar, and it covers
you know, everything from rugs, cookwaar, all kinds of stuff.
So they said that it imposes a burden on interstate
commerce and discriminates against out of state commerce and as
(14:52):
a result, it violates the commerce clause in the Constitution.
So that's the angle that they're going for to try
to stop that band.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
This Girl Scouts are retiring two cookie flavors, the s'mores.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And I don't even know that these existed.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I haven't bought Girls scott cookies since they're playing parenthood
stuff because I just thought it was inappropriate for young
girls selling cookies to be you know, for them to
have an association with planned parenthood. But they said that
they are discontinuing those. I didn't even know. There was
the s'mores and the toast ya cookie. If it's not
then men, it's trash thin mint or the uh no,
(15:29):
just then mint. If it's not that, it's trash. So
they they are discontinuing those. Let's see this, uh ooh,
two hundred aggressive monkeys. There's a war that has been
launched on them, the macaque monkey that's in Thailand.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
They have a huge problem with us.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They're actually violent and bity uh and they and they
steal people's stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So they've tried to sterilization campaign, but apparently that didn't
get them the results that they wanted. And so now
they're in the second phase of the war. They're planning
to newt or one hundred of these monkeys, and then
they did one hundred and twenty two of them in
one district last year.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Now they're going.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To try to establish feeding zones to prevent them from
straying into residential spaces where they've been attacking people. And
you know, I just I mean, why don't they train them,
train them to do stuff. Male strippers are facing extinctions.
They said that there were no male strippers booked for
(16:29):
in Britain. There was not a single male stripper apparently
that was booked for a bachelor party or an I
just women are not like dudes. And they said that
bookings for those experiences increased elsewhere, but not for dudes.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I wanted to switch gears here. We got to talk.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
About why are are all the lesbians in California named Kristin?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think they have to be.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Lorraine found this interesting thread specifically on these fire chiefs,
and I mean, I don't care if they're all lesbian's
name Kristin. I just think it's hysterical that they are
all lesbian's name Kristin. The first fire chief that they
have a gay woman, Kristin Crowley, and then they have
(17:18):
their assistant chief for the fire department, Kristin Kepner. She
went to the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations.
I don't even know what that means. She apparently was
accused of beating her girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know. And then there's.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
The first I don't know what is an equity bureau chief.
What the hell does that have to do with fire?
The co founder of Equity on Fire. It's the Los
Angeles Fire Department's equity bureau chief, the first lesbian equity
(17:57):
bureau chief. She makes three hundred and ninetynine thousand dollars
a year. I think for three hundred ninety nine thousand
dollars a year, a lot of people would pretend to
be gay and interested in equity.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I am amazed at this.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
They're all named Christine or they're all named Kristen, all
of them. And then you get to the Los Angeles
Fire Department training commander. Now, I will say, this chick
does look like a legit dude, Jamie Brown. She stands
out because her name isn't Kristin. So there, the entire
(18:35):
Los Angeles Fire Department is a bunch of old white lesbians,
with the exception of the one lesbian whose name is
still Kristen.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Right, I don't even.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I golly, I cannot even this is I can't even
make this up. So, just to recap, in California, the
entirety of the fire department is run by old white
lesbian's name Chris, with the exception of one black lesbian
named Kristen. Did they like was that a goal? Did
they set out to have them all be like? What
(19:11):
is the what is in the what the world? And
why do you what the hell do you have to
have an equity department for? You're the fire department. You
fight fires. That's all you do is fires. What do
you do fires?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's it?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
You don't do anything else. I just you cannot make
this stuff up. This is and no wonder they're burning,
no wonder, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I mean I feel like.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
This.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Now, I don't think anybody's arguing that the alphabet stuff
has anything to do with the fire. What we are
arguing is the priorities, clearly of Los Angeles, because while
they were allowed the i mean the accumulated record rainfall
to just drain into the ocean, they weren't capturing the water.
(20:09):
They weren't making sure their hydrants were working, they weren't
trying to talk with land management, especially in federal land.
Bureau of Land Management comes into play with a lot
of that. They did make sure that they checked all
the lesbian Christians and checked all those boxes to work
(20:29):
in the fire department. That's you gotta admit it's weird,
and clearly the priority wasn't on actual fire They created
all of these other They can't afford to hire more firefighters,
but they can afford to pay half a million dollars
to someone who's an equity bureau chief.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Whatever the hell that is.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Can anyone explain that one to me? What the hell
does an equity bureau chief do? It's so prevalent, the
equity that you have to have like a whole bureau
for it. How do you what school do you go
to for that job.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm all for women becoming firefighters, but like being good
at it, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, be good at it, like, you know, learn how
to fight a damn fire and learn when to deploy stuff.
So they're apparently they're also getting criticism because they waited
so long to deploy. I'm just think about that for
a minute. When you've got I think they said it's
one thousand feet a second. Just think about that in
(21:26):
your head real quick. How fast that is? When seconds count?
You can't wait to deploy your fire department. You can't wait.
When seconds count, you cannot wait. So they're getting a
lot of criticism. And it's interesting because the criticism is
coming from withinside the department that they took too long
(21:52):
to deploy.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's a whole other man. You know, there's going to
be lawsuits.
