Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. A winter Haven, Florida
man's hankering for beef, jerky andpistachio nuts was so strong that he stole

(00:21):
more than one hundred dollars worth ofit from a Polk County convenience store and
didn't pay. From Fox thirteen News, surveillance video shows Anton karen Fulov,
a little overd whatever of Windmere,walking into a Love's truck stop looking at
a sign depicting a deputy patrol carthat read free right if you shoplift from

(00:42):
the store. He stopped to lookat it. He legit was on camera
looking at it, and then hewalked in the store, grabbed beef,
jerky, pistachios and then left andhe was literally I mean he was,
I mean the employee some steal them. So they went to stop him and
he ran to his lows box truck. So apparently he drove for loaves.
He was charged with first draw graypetty theft. Imagine going having that charge

(01:03):
over nuts and jerky and also howmuch jerky and nuts did he take?
That it was one hundred dollars becauseit looked like he just swiped it.
I mean, I get at thatinflation's out of control, but is it.
I haven't bought like pistachios in along time. I haven't bought pistachios
and a long time because I'm terrifiedto buy pistachios. So that's why I
was wondering. I'm like, didhe take like two pistachios and it was

(01:25):
one hundred dollars? I'm wondering.Good heavens, so a this thing on.
There's an oh here, let's dothis guy. This Florida man was
identified following an ATV chase that spannedMiami, Dade and Broward Counties. Eighteen

(01:45):
year old Anthony Perez. It onlystopped because he ran out of gas.
He was wearing a ski mask.He jumped it, got in a grabbed
an ATV and jumped on the NorthBront Express Liane of I ninety five officers
joined the chase. He slowed downat some points, sped up, evaded
officers, then got off the highwayand then he made a U turn and
then he started slowing down because helegit ran out of gas. He was

(02:07):
taken into custody. Can you imaginewhat did you How far did you think
you were gonna get on that,dude? Like, for real, how
far did you think you were gonnaget A Florida man says that he had
to pay thousand dollars to get hispet turtle back tortoise. Sorry. Merrick
Westland came home from work to findhis eighteen year old tortoise was tortoise snapped.
Yeah, he's upset. He's pursuingpotential legal action, and he says

(02:30):
that he it's it's an eighteen yearold African Silkata tortoise named Shelby. He
posted signs around the neighborhood, allthis stuff. He thinks he actually thinks
that the tortoise broke out of theenclosure and ran through the fence in his
backyard. You know, ran thetortoise. Yeah, they run. And
he says that he thinks a wildlifeplace had his tortoise and it was Wildlife

(02:53):
Rescuing rehabilitation, and they did haveher, and they they demanded that he
pay one thousand dollars to get herback. The Penela's County Sheriff's office says
they consider it a civil matter.He had to pay a thousand dollars because
apparently Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation that's WildlifeRescue and Rehabilitation in Seminole, Florida website

(03:17):
WRRFL dot org because they were holdingapparently it sounds like they were holding the
tortoise hostage until the guy coughed upone thousand dollars. You all sound shady
as all get out. Wildlife Rescueand Rehabit Seminole, Florida. That's Wildlife
Rescue and Rehabit Seminole, Florida offof eighty second Avenue. What was that

(03:37):
website? The website to Wildlife Rescueand Rehabit Siminol, Florida wr RFL dot
org. Wrrfl dot org. Incase you want to leave a nice civil
message about stealing people's turtles, youknow, sorry, tortoises whatever. I
hate that stuff like you just shookthat dude down for one thousand dollars.

(03:57):
You guys are fruitcakes. Florida womanwas accused of flipping off deputies while driving
erradically on the grass. Just anotherday and woman driving a Florida woman.
It's accused this key West. Thedeputies were trying to pull her over.
Darla vy Doall thirty five. She'sfacing a felony count of resisting a police
officer and one misdeming her count ofresisting an officer following this incident. I

(04:23):
guess she's just not getting charge.It was March sixteenth, but it started
when a deputy observed her driving acar on the grass at a high rate
of speed. She didn't stop,and the officers were like, whoa with
the lights? And at one pointshe waved her middle finger at the deputy
trying to pull her over, andwhile she did, she almost hit a

(04:43):
deer. But then she stopped lateron Pensacola Road and ran towards the deputy,
screaming I hate the police. Shewould not stop. They kept saying
we're gonna shoot you if you keepresisting arrest. She was booked in Monroe
County Jail. I she as shewas flipping them off. She almost hit
a deer. First off, whatwas that deer doing out there? I
mean, you sneeze and they runaway. I mean you you look at

(05:09):
them and they run away. Justsay. A man was killed while test
driving a motorcycle outside of a HarleyDavidson dealer in Titusville, say police he
crashed his motorcycle literally into the wallof a Titusville shopping center while test driving
it on Monday afternoon. That's sad. I was Miracle City Harley Davidson,
and they said that he just lostcontrol and crashed into the back wall of

(05:30):
the shopping center. That's horrible.So we're just I got to come in
first. Welcome back. Got alittle fogerty right, put me in coach,
because it's opening day, guys,It's opening day of baseball season.
The only time I actually pay attentionto any kind of sports, it's baseball
season. Now, technically, God'steam doesn't have it's opening day until April

(05:51):
fourth, technically where the whole citywould shut down. Right as Kane knows,
and Kane and I and again DanaLash Welcome back town, Saint Louis.
Right. I don't say that lightly. I realized it is Holy Week
and God's team, Oh that's forthose of you who are heathens. That
is the Saint Louis Cardinals. Theiropening day is on April fourth, where

(06:15):
they play the Miami Marlins. Sothe whole city would shut People don't understand
that Saint Louis is such a baseballtown, Like they would make you move
if you don't like the team.I'm not am I kind of kidding.
I don't know. Yeah, yeah, Like I remember when I was still
at my affiliate of the when Iwas still based in Saint Louis and there

(06:41):
was a new person. It waslike a I think it was a salesperson
kine that moved in and it waslike a get to know you whatever thing,
and you know, it felt likean office situation, like office base
and everyone had to go and getto know the person. And they're like,
oh, do you like baseball?And they're and I just remember the
answer was something like I'm not really. Everyone got quiet. That's not allowed.

(07:02):
The whole city shuts down. Peopleused to skip school, like they
just actually were trying to. Theywould give you an excused absence. The
school that I went to, peoplewere getting excused absences. They'd skip and
they'd go to opening Day. Canyou remember how hardcore this was? The
whole city shut crime stops. Thegangs are like, all right, we're

(07:26):
gonna stop drugging and shooting. It'sOpening Day decades. I'm not kidding.
Like crime drops. It's crazy.It's like the wildest thing ever. So
it's Opening Day. So our friendLarry gave me a really good idea Vegas.
Larry, I am on the streI gotta admit I'm on the struggle
bus because there's a lot of goodoptions. One of the things that I

(07:47):
love about Opening Day because sometimes theplayer switch it up their walk on song.
Right, everybody gets a walk onsong. It's your one chance to
pick the song as your walk onsong, right, So I'm curious what
would y'all's walk on song be ifyou're a player, right, I think

(08:11):
all of you have already thought ofthis. I just have a suspicion that
you all already know this, right, I mean I've got some I've got
some ideas. Kane immediately, Ididn't even finish my sentence because you can't
have the same walk on song thatother people do. You got to pick
something else with the pickets. Yeah, Cane's immediately like, well, I'll
walk by parent. Are all likehe planted the flag in it immediately no

(08:35):
one else can touch it now.He's like, yo, walk by parent.
It does sound particularly hardcore, likewhen you're coming out to bat.
Yeah, that iconic intro to thatsong sold Down. I have all these
chewed up one time, you guysthem queued up for the radio audience because
you get the benefit of the licensebe walking up to the plate right here,

(08:56):
up on the bat right, canyou like, Yeah, you're hitting
the dirt out of my cleats.It's hard. Four people are going to
get getting ready for that first pitch. It is. This might be the
walk on song of all walk onsongs. Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
It's pretty amazing. I mean,I'm I'm on the struggle bus because I

(09:18):
have to admit this was on mylist too. I feel like I could
hit a home run with this one. You feel like you could knock the
stitches out the ball with this one. I think. So, I mean
that's this It's Pantera number one.I mean, it's you know, God's
band. It's don't hit, don'thit, don't at me. It's like,
it's such a good walk on song. Now here's your also assignment,

(09:39):
a little fun, you know,because it's been heavy. It's been heavy
politics. You need a break fromthe primary for that primary, from the
election for a little bit. Yougotta have your walk on song and then
a back up walk on song,And I apologize to those of you that
are watching the simulcast. We can'tafford the licensing that it would costs in
order to play the songs that werechoosing to you. So you can only

(10:00):
get it if you're if you're listeningto the radio broadcast, it's eleventy kaprillion
dollars. If your case, youwere wondering, like gofund me would laugh
at it. So that's Kane's doyou have a backup? Mine was?
And again I'm thinking of songs thathave iconic intros that when you hear them,
you're like, oh, man,I got to stop whatever the hell
I'm doing and listen to This isback in Black from Ace. Oh that's

(10:24):
a good one because immediately got thathigh hat and then oh here it is.
Also it's yeah, easily choke upon the bat, walk up to
the plate and knock the dirt offmy cleats. You can tell that he
thought about this a lot. Kanehas like, really thought about this little
sizing up the picture. So walkinto the box, dig in, and

(10:46):
get ready to slam one over thewall. It's amazing. So I I
was thinking about that let me askyou, Steve. Steve is our resident
millennial, and I'm a little worriedabout asking this because I have no idea
what he's gonna throw it us.Steve, you're a baseball player. It's
opening day your walkout song, sir? So I am in arect League,

(11:07):
a softball league in DC for sevenyears. I can't repeat the team name.
It's inappropriate for radio. But notonly is my walk up song is
my favorite song of all time,and it's this one also my favorite group
of all time? What is that? Seriously? Daft Punk? I didn't
know he whoa? I mean,I like Daft Punk, but I don't

(11:28):
know if I would have gone withthis intro to help, I would have
gone with d Res Daft Punk deRez from the Tron soundtrack. See if
you can pull that up real quick, because that's all my life. Leeves
walk up? So why are youtrying to ruin his walk up? Yeah?
I just want to make him more. I want to see you more
threatened to let him choose his ownwalk It sounds like you got a guy
out there ready to hit the balland maybe party. Okay, I can

(11:50):
see the stadium like, yeah,it's our boy, I can see that.
I imagine if he's already hit likea home run. Oh my gosh,
the ladies be like sling Shot andPaenties. I mean, maybe not,
but I get it. I getit. You went all over the
map on that I did see.If you can pull up Real Quick Tron's
d res from or Daft Punk's dres track from tront I think it's that

(12:11):
one. Is this gonna be oneof your checks? Maybe? If I'm
thinking of the right song. It'sbeen a bit since I've listened to this
album, this album, so no, it's not this one. Never mind,
it's the one where what's his face? Jeff Bridges drops into the club
and he's getting ready to unleash acan of Whoope, double snake. Maybe
maybe we're gonna go through this wholealbum. Everyone listening is like, can

(12:35):
you talk about politics? No,I will give me a break. It's
a palate cleanser. But it's sucha great track. Now, yeah,
let's do ones in the meantime.So Wan, we they're already laughing.
We're like, Wan, sir,you are a baseball player's opening day.
Your walkout song is what do wehave to play? Okay? We go.

(13:01):
Yeah, I told him not toobad bunny, but he picked bad
Bunny. Oh my gosh, hedid pick bad Bunny. See this is
like one of the ones he's in, the musical instrumental part of it.
Yeah. I think he kind ofhad to be. Yeah, yeah,
all right, all right, allright, we get it. I can

(13:22):
see this. I get it.I get it. So see if you
can pull up? So that's good. Do you have a backup? Did
he have a backup? Did heoffer one? Okay, see pick up
a Fall by daft Punk? Seeif if that one's it? In the
meantime, So, I don't know. I'm on the struggle bus. Oh
wait it is. You just putdaft Punk in there, didn't you one?

(13:43):
Yeah? Good? Good? What'shis daft Punk track? Lose Yourself?
Ah? Okay? Nice? Nice. So I'm I have like my
serious choices. I don't know ifI actually want to talk about this anymore.
I like, I feel like weneed to switch. And I think
you have like ten like I havefor whom the Bell to Holes Metallica,

(14:09):
I've got Ride the Lightning Metallica,I've got I had Panta Walk, I
had us Rain and Blood by Slayer, because the intro is just so bossed.
Can I have that intro because it'sso amazing? Yeah, that that's
like she might murder me with theball. It's that like if I'm if
I'm coming out Opening Day, I'mcoming out for your soul. And that's

(14:31):
how you know it's supposed to beabout peanuts and cracker Jack. Yeah,
everything, the competitions is what youYeah, I am. If you can't,
sir, get that track going,get that track going for us?
Oh man, gosh, it's seethat's amazing. Do you remember the first

(14:56):
time you heard this? First timeI heard of my life was change.
It's just it's just beautiful. Somepeople can't relate. But I just I'm
not into If I'm want to listento chill music, I'm going to listen
to like jazz or something. Ijust it's like, why go halfway when
you can go all the way?You know what I'm saying, Like,

(15:16):
just don't do anything halfway. Ithink this is my first my first choice
to be random Blood by Slayer,I am I but I do like the
Daft I think it's Fall by DaftPunk off the Tron Legacy album. That
would be like my backup, becauseit's really cool. It's a super cool
song, or the one you're embarrassedby. No, oh see, because
that's the one I'm trying to getyou to, all right, So only

(15:37):
Steve knows what the other one is. Yeah, you wouldn't even share it
with that. Don't even share withyou, because I'm never going to live
it down. Oh boy, No, I need to know. Go ahead
to Steve, go ahead and play, and let's see if Kane knows who
it is. I've never heard.Are shocked, I've never heard this?
Are you serious? Wait a minutenow, I'm really curious. Okay,
go ahead, go ahead. Let'sse if king can guess what it is.
I'm so bad. Then people arelistening on the simulcast. I'm just

(16:03):
saying, you gotta wait for itto kick in. You gotta came dine
already. I hate you so bad. Wait, wait, wait for him
to come in, Wait for itto come in. And here he goes.
Yeah, I'm from a city thatis rowdy, rowdy. It's yellow
Wolf. I'm not even gonna lie. I'm not even gonna lie. Yellow

(16:25):
Wolf, Rowdy. Yellow Wolf hadsome good tunes. That's all I'm gonna
say is all. I'm gonna sayit is. Actually it is a good
walk up song. And Saint Louisis a rowdy city, so see this
happening. Are you carrying a bigold Louisville slugger on your shoulder up to
the Yeah, I can see that. Spit my backy out. Yeah.

(16:45):
I mean, as much as Iwanted to make fun of you, that
was That's actually pretty good. It'svery out of line for me, but
I like, I don't know whatit is. I like it. I
like it. I'm not gonna lieanyways. So that's our Those are our
walk up songs. I'm curious asto what ch'all's would be, what your
walk up songs would be, becausethis says a lot about a person.
Lorraine picks enter sandband my Battallica.That is an excellent, solid choice,

(17:06):
Lorraine, very solid choice because she'sgonna hit you at the ball and puts
you asleep, get them home runswhat what? So that's so we're happy
that it's opening day. We hadto have a little fun, even though
April fourth, that's Gott's team's openingday. Technically, you know, this
is just you know, but thisis officially for MLP. This is Opening
Day, So this is the onlytime when I'm like gonna pay attention to

(17:27):
sports any other time, I'm like, what's football? What? And then
everyone else in Dallas, Texas looksat me like I'm a communist. So
there's nothing that anybody can do toruin Opening Day except if Joe Biden gives
a speech or throws a pitch out. Can you imagine Joe Biden walking out?
Can we just look at that fora moment. Can you imagine him
doing first pitch? He would falloff the mound after that throw, he'd

(17:52):
fall off in his weird like giantplatform. Alexander McQueen Yeezy's would flip off
his feet. I don't even knowwhat those what is he wearing? You
have too much forward momentum to stop, and he'd fall forward right after the
pitch. Oh my gosh. Ithink he would get booed, right,
I think he would get bood hardcoreprobably. I think he would because he's

(18:14):
not fun either. He's just hegoes out there and he just he squints
it. He used to not dothat all the time. Joe Biden used
to not like make that. Heused to not squint and make that mean
face all the time. Now hedoes, And I don't know if he
thinks that he has to do thatto look tougher, if that's a consequence
of the stroke that we're pretending hedidn't have. Wan's got a picture that

(18:34):
he's thrown up on the simulcast ofthem dim shoes dough. It looks sturdy.
They look like tires, you knowhow. I don't like it when
women walk around in giant platforms becausethey think they look like Clydesdale's. Similarly,
I don't like it when guys walkaround in giant, thick black tennis
shoes like this, because y'all looklike you had you got tires for feet,

(18:56):
Like you need to get them marriedup or something. Check the air
pressure on. It's just weird looking. I don't like it. It is
it is. Our partners are friendsat Celtech. They make stuff that you
can blow other stuff up with.I mean, that's that's pretty accurate.
I think the sub two K Genthree uh it is uh. The Gen

(19:17):
three means it's generation three. It'snew. So don't be like I got
my cl there. Use is new. You don't have this. It just
started shipping. It's the Gen threenine millimeter carbine uh and you can fold
it in half. It's like polypocketgun. I don't know. I mean
that's like for the ladies out there. It's like for dudes. It's like
the trans although I had Transformers too, it was it's like a Transformer gun.
It's a polypocket gun. You canfold the whole dang thing right in

(19:38):
half and you don't have to detachyour favorite optics anymore, because previously you
did, now you don't. That'swhat the Gen three. That's an upgrade
for the Gen three. Now,the whole thing it has a patent rotating
four and you can twist it ineither direction and it folds right in half
quickly, just as quickly and easilydeploys it optics and all upgraded aluminum trigger.
You get a light and five poundpl well, another upgrade that means

(20:02):
obviously improved accuracy for follow up.Upgraded action. You also have this lightened
action makes for easy racking and pidexterousbolt hold open. There's even a new
chamber indicator. It's just awesome.You got to check it out. It's
Florida based company, USA family runCeltech it's the new Gen three sub two

(20:22):
Weapons dot com, that's k El t Ec Weapons dot Com. Tell
them that Dana sent you, andnow all of the news you would probably
miss. It's time for Dana's quickfive. This is like, so the
most appropriate thing I can ever imaginehappening. Because you know where NASCAR comes
from, right, moonshine runners.Right, this is during prohibition. You

(20:42):
had souped up cars and they wereracing away from the law so they could
deliver that liquor to then spake easiesand elsewhere on those rural roads out throughout
the United States. I mean,it's part of our country's heritage. That's
really that's literally where now car camefrom. Well check this out. The

(21:03):
officials at a historic North Wilkesboro Speedwayin the foothills in North Carolina discovered a
literal moonshine cave just by chance whena sinkhole opened up underneath the racetrack's grand
stands Now, if you're at aracing event, you're at a NASCAR event,
and a seinkhole opens up and youfall into it, you want it
to be a moonshine cave. I'mjust saying, if you're going to fall

(21:26):
into any seinkhole, let it bea moonshine cave scenehole. So track employees
have been cleaning and inspecting. Theynoticed cracks in the concrete, and so
they're like, yeah, it's asecret moonshine still essentially, and they're renovating
and restoring the North Wilkesboro Speedway.They've been doing this since twenty twenty two.
But yes, they said that theythey found some places where you could

(21:47):
make some illegal liquor. I'm imaginingalready like a whole experience right like you're
going to watch the thing that cameabout from prohibition, and underneath you can
go for like a little extra ina ticket, you can go get you
some moonshine down there, Like callme. I've got so many ideas for
how to monetize this, it's insane. Joe Lieberman has passed away at age

(22:08):
eighty two, according to Politico,apparently had to do with complications related to
an earlier fall. He was thelongtime senator from Connecticut. He was also
kind of a moderate Democrat, andDemocrats really started hating him towards the end
all of everything because as they turnmore left, he seemed more conservative.
But it was due to complications froma fall. He was eighty two years
old. This guy set a recordfor essentially dragging his beans across concrete all

(22:34):
the way, you know, aroundNew York. He's a fitness trainer who
broke two Guinness World Records by doinglunges across New York City. Kane's like,
Uh, that just seems I don'tknow, pretentious, right? Do
I have to sit here and giveaccolades for everything? Do I I feel

(22:56):
really put out when I'm expected topat people on the back for like the
stupidest of right. Oh you did? Oh my god. This is interesting
too, this piece I was readingabout the AI staffing war Mark Zuckerberg and
Sergi Brnnho's the guy who founded Google. They've been pulling out all the stops
to hire top tier talent in thefield of AI. They're personally reaching out

(23:19):
to candidates to try to get themto win them over to their side.
Stick with us, we got morein store. Welcome back to the program.
You can listen coast to coast ona station near you. You can
stream the radio program as well andfollow along with the Simulcash Channel three forty
seven Direct TV, also on xYouTube, Facebook, Rumble, everywhere else.

(23:40):
So this story. We talked aboutthis story a couple of days ago,
and this follows the Planet Fitness storyof a woman who saw man shaving
in the women's bathroom and the womensync. This story has to do with
eighty two year old Julie Jamon whois seeking an apology because she was banned
from pool that she swam in forforty years YMCA, the c YMCA because

(24:04):
she was in the shower she hearda man's voice. She peeks out,
because you know, you're in thewomen's locker room. You're in the shower,
vulnerable place for a woman. Shehears a man's voice and she sees
a man in a woman's swimsuit watchingtwo little girls get ready to use the
restroom. Now she thinks, Ithink what most women would immediately assume.

(24:27):
Is this a crime happening? AmI watching a crime unfolding right now?
This looks predatory? And so sheasked if the guy had a male copulatory
organ, and then it went fromthere. So apparently he was with the
YMCA. Even though he had nobadge or any kind of identification indicating such.
There was little signage outside saying thebathroom is open to men as well
as women. And she was theone, this eighty two year old woman

(24:49):
was the one who was penalized.Not the guy joining us. Is her
attorney, legal Titan Harmeat, Dylan, you can she's joining us via skype.
And you know, har Meat,You've seen everywhere, and she takes
all these tough cases her meat.It is so good to have you.
This case is insane to me becauseI got to tell you honestly, if
I was in the women's locker room, first off, that's a very vulnerable

(25:11):
time. You know women, youknow you're undressing, you're taking a shower
after you know, swimming, workingout. I hear a man's voice.
I look outside and see him watchingtwo little girls with whom he apparently has
zero familial relationship with, getting readyto use the restroom. I would also
wonder if I'm not witnessing a crimeunderway. That was her initial reaction.
That seems perfectly reasonable, But theYMCA said no, absolutely, Well,

(25:34):
we're seeing a rash of this typeof incident, Dana, and it's really
troubling because we women, like yousaid, first of all, we are
trained to protect ourselves, but secondly, we're training to look out for others,
and many women who are professionals ina field, including teaching or the
healthcare field, we're actually under ourduty to report this type of incident happening

(25:57):
to vulnerable girls. And so whenthis woman who did the exact right thing
is being penalized without due process,this is a real problem because, first
of all, this pool is onthe property of the City of Port Townshend
in Washington State, a beautiful location, and she's used it for forty years.
It's currently leased out to the YMCYMCA Young Men's Christian Association, and

(26:22):
so you cannot deprive somebody of theirproperty right and property experier to use public
property without due process. So they has a problem, the City of
Port Townshend has a problem, andfrankly, this policy is problematic. And
in response to our client's outrage overthis incident and the whole back and forth
with management over there, they said, well, you know, of course

(26:45):
you should have known that we're lettingmen into the women's locker rooms now because
we're flying a pride flag in thelobby, and that's supposed to be some
kind of a legal notice. No, actually, I think a lot of
you know, gay people that thistype of an encounter is really problematic.
And so the rules keep changing,Dana, And in any event, the

(27:06):
constitutional rules haven't changed, and Juliecan't be deprived of her rights without due
process. So we're looking forward tothe why and the city's response, and
if it's not satisfactory, we willsee that. That's a great point too
about the property and who's leasing itand who it's owned by. I mean,
she is a taxpayer talking with HermiaDylan, who's joining us to via
skype in the flag too. Yetthat's not a legal notice. And I
was always told by the left,this is what we've heard from the transactivists,

(27:32):
that it's not an indication of whomyou're attracted to, but how you
identify. So that doesn't necessarily meanthat a guy who once identifies a woman
is still not attracted to women,which creates a problem in the women's locker
room that apparently they just didn't payattention to with this whole thing, because
the way that I understood it wasjust the basic pride flag and it didn't

(27:53):
have the trans I think triangle andall of that on it. Well,
even if it did eighty two yearsold, I'm you know of a certain
age, So are you like,how do how are we supposed to figure
out what these flags mean? Anddo they mean there are going to be
men with venuses in our women's spaces? This is completely inappropriate. It's inappropriate,

(28:17):
and you know, no amount ofnotice or a signage would make this
appropriate vibe and what floors me?And this is what I don't understand,
Armid. If a man who wantsto identifies a woman feels uncomfortable in the
men's locker room and he wants touse the women's locker room, he's accommodated,
or he feels uncomfortable, he feelsunsafe, or we'll let him access

(28:38):
the women's locker room. But ifa woman feels uncomfortable and unsafe because a
man is in the women's locker room, she's called a bigot. I mean,
that seems like accommodation of one overthe other. And in the scenario
that the context that you just putout there, with the taxpayer funt of
facility, that's a no go.Absolutely, So we really need the courts

(28:59):
to clarify these situations. And youknow, we are seeing it in so
many different contexts, Dane ever seeingin women's sports. We're seeing it in
women's athletics in the collegiate level,which is protected by Title nine. And
so currently all the rights that thefeminists you know, who were themselves Julie's
age, fought for, have beentaken away in the space of a handful

(29:22):
of years, to the point wherewomen are the ones who are being asked
to feel uncomfortable everywhere we go,and we're the ones who are physically vulnerable.
We're typically smaller in size than men, we're less strong than men.
And I don't think, for one, as a woman who's fought for my
rights in the workplace and in society, that I need to stand for it.
Neither is Julie. So we're reallyproud to stand up for her,

(29:45):
and we need to have the courtstep in and put an end to this
and give back women their protected spaces. We're talking about the story of eighty
two year old Julie Jaymon, whois kicked out of the YMCA band after
using a pool for forty years becauseshe called out a man who is in
the women's locker room armie. Womenare told and I was trying to remember,
I think I've grown up with this. I don't know when I was.

(30:07):
I first was told to listen tomy gut. Listen to my gut
instinct. If you feel uncomfortable orunsafe in a situation, you know,
seek help or try to remove yourselffrom the situation. Women are told,
you know, these are things thatyou need to look out for. If
you feel uncomfortable, you see astrange man you don't know walking down the
street towards you, maybe across thestreet, go to the other, you
know, the opposite sidewalk. Imean, we're we're told these things because

(30:30):
there are certain statistics that justify theneed for that concern. What does this
sort of behavior, this shaming ofwomen who are relying on that gut instinct
that we've been brought up with forgenerations. What does that do to women
and our self preservation when we're shamedfor relying on those instincts. Well,

(30:52):
First of all, younger women whodon't have the same training that we do
and are being told that this isperfectly normal, are going to be at
higher risk of sexual assault. That'sa fact. They're going to be at
higher risk of physical injury in thesports context, that's a biological fact.
This confusion is really a one wayratchet. It's in favor of men and

(31:14):
it's against women, and every womanneeds to stand up and shout about this
because all rights are being eroded andour safety is being eroded. I mean
to the point where women who mighthave passed a bad check or done something
wrong in their private lives and gotconvicted of a crime. The federal prisons
are mandating that women be housed withmen who are identifying as women, even

(31:36):
if all of their physical organs areintact, and they're going to quote unquote
friends process in myn taxpayer expense.This is leading to sexual assaults of women
prisoners, and so I view thisas a five alarm fire. This is
an epidemic in women's safety and women'srights, and you know, regardless of
your political orientation, and I'm gladto see women at least women's sports.

(32:00):
There's been a lot offer below runsothers. Some women feminists are standing up
and calling this what it is,but they need to be joined by the
rest of them. And this seemslike a conspiracy yet again of men trying
to take away women's progatives and rightand this is we should not stand.
That's a great point. I mean, it's the ultimate. It's the ultimate
victory of the progressive patriarchy. Andsomehow they've gotten some of these third wave

(32:21):
feminists to go along with it andaccommodate it. We're going to watch this
case and see how this unfolds.I'm so glad that you're on it because
I feel confident that it will beresolved favorably and in favor of women with
you handling this. Harmeia Dylan.Always appreciate your fight, and thank you
