It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, I cannot. I really want to… Oh, this one headline, the story’s so good, and I can’t say any of these. Okay, so let me just do… how do I do this? This is Florida woman, Florida man story. He was harassing a Florida woman or no, sorry. Florida woman was harassing a man on, uh, uh, Valentine’s day, uh, Florida woman, Florida man. She was arrested because she used a hundred different phone numbers to harass this guy. It was a prolonged campaign of harassment. And according to coconut Creek police, the victim walked into the station lobby to report ongoing harassment. That’s been happening since January of last year. And, And the victim said that because she is dating a guy, apparently, that the Florida woman had dated. And so she was calling this woman, texting her from 75 to 100 different numbers. And I can’t even say what… I can’t even say any of this, actually. You can just imagine the different adjectives for a lady of the night and… copulatory organs it’s a combination of the two and in fact there are some that i’ve never even heard of before and i’m like that’s that’s new for me to not be familiar with an insult so i learned something from this story uh anyway they were able to trace all of the numbers how do you have how do you have like 70 different numbers And how can I do that and use it against all of the people who solicit campaign donations in text? Would love to be able to use that to them. I sign them up for cat tweets or cat texts. I’m not even kidding. So she did. She was arrested on Valentine’s Day and she’s now in the Broward County Main Jail. She posted five thousand dollar bond. That’s insane. Like hundreds upon hundreds of texts and messages. Sometimes it would be a hundred a day. That is wild. I’ve never I mean, that’s you. That’s dedication to trolling. a love rival, I have not seen that kind of dedication, right? Since that Joey Buttafuoco thing. Isn’t that right? Yeah. All right. So, moving on. This Florida man… Oh, he was accused of setting his car on fire with his wife inside. This was… In Florida, he’s being accused of intentionally setting a car on fire as his wife sat inside. Neighbors woke up at 6 a.m. to an explosion. And he was setting his car on fire. His wife was in the passenger seat. She was burned beyond recognition. They got into a dispute. She tried to leave the vehicle and couldn’t. So he is in major trouble. Murder and arson.

SPEAKER 02 :
Also related to this is a Republican thing, but I read the story and I thought, oh, so this has to do with the NYU New York University Republicans. There was a collegian. Her name’s Kaya Walker. She’s an undergrad pursuing a B.A. in international relations and French. And she was the head was the head of NYU’s college Republicans. So Vanity Fair was doing a story, which I think is pretty intrusive. They were doing a story on Barron Trump’s life at NYU. And. They were I don’t know. I’m always suspicious of media. And apparently, I mean, clearly they didn’t talk to him and he didn’t participate in it, nor did his family. But the girl had said when she was talking to Vanity Fair and she was describing him, she said, well, he’s, you know, kind of like an oddity on campus. You know, he goes to class and then he goes back to goes back to his room or goes back to his dorm or wherever he’s staying. And so that’s what she was having this conversation with Vanity Fair, and that’s what she said. And then College Republicans of America got mad, and they were raging at her, and she submitted her resignation over the weekend. She… I think the College Republicans of America had a post on social media where they stated that while they felt Vanity Fair unfairly framed her, her words do not align with the values and principles upheld by our organization. She said everything she said was taken out of context and she’s sympathetic to Barron Trump. And I really feel like I can’t take Republicans seriously when they bitch about the media. And then if they read one thing that tickles their confirmation bias, they immediately believe everything that they read as it’s presented. And I feel like the college Republicans of America with the statement are guilty of that. I get what she’s saying. It doesn’t sound like she was trying to be insulting to him at any… at all. When she said that he’s like an oddity on campus, she wasn’t saying that he’s odd. She’s talking about how wild it is that the son of the president of the United States is at their college campus. And that is odd because… That’s usually I mean, think about how wild that is for you as a collegian. And especially if you’re a head of a Republican group and you’re going to school with someone whose dad is out of the party. That’s a wild thing for college kids. And she’s just like talking to she’s a college because she’s an undergrad for crying out loud. I think that she was treated way harshly. I I don’t I don’t think it was Republican or MAGA to have treated her that way. Really don’t. And especially to immediately buy hook, line and sinker how the media. This is why you always, by the way, record when you’re talking to the media. And maybe she hopefully she learns that lesson. But she had said that everybody watches him like he’s you know, they like follow him like he’s like watch him like he’s a zoo animal. It sounds like she’s sympathetic to him and not antagonistic towards him. I mean, you do have to you have to think he’s 18 years old. He’s on a college campus. That’s and he’s got a secret service with him. That’s tough to navigate. And your first year of college is always like the hardest. That’s a really tough thing to navigate as a young collegiate. And she is getting she got death threats on social media and all kinds of stuff. And I just it’s it’s like really unfortunate because. And from what the quotes, they didn’t actually quote her like a whole conversation. They just took like bits and pieces of what she said and then presented it that way. And I thought that’s really unfair because when you put all of her remarks together, it sounds like she’s very sympathetic towards him. And like this, you know, it’s kind of it. You know, when you’re a freshman in college and, you know, your college experience, you have to be really kind of locked down because of security. Yeah, that’s a that’s wild. So I think it’s really unfair the manner in which she was treated. And I think it’s really hypocritical of people to bash the media and then turn around and then also believe everything that the media says. I mean, where’s the benefit of the doubt for people who’ve been in the trenches with you like this girl apparently has? That’s just sad. So now she had to quit. She resigned and she’s not working. They just lost a college Republican. That’s so stupid because people are so overly sensitive and they don’t. I want I need people on the right to not victimize themselves in everything like the left does, because you saw what that grew into and you saw voters revolt against that. Do not make those same mistakes in your quest for power, because that’s so stupid. I feel bad for her. And I feel like he seems like a nice young man. I mean, he seems, you know, he’s he seems super sweet. He’s really attentive to his mom and dad. You know, he’s like he’s, you know, likes hanging out with his family. I mean, it’s kind of hard when you’re 18 years old going into college and, you know, your family is around with you all the time. And, you know, and they do what they do. That can’t be easy. And it seems like he was raised really well. But it sounds like she was talking about him like she felt bad that that has to be that has to be the shape of his college experience. And I just feel like people are are being dramatic because they need attention. I don’t know. That’s unfortunate. But y’all lost a Republican in New York, of all places. You know, I didn’t realize they were so rich and Republicans in New York that they could foment, you know, controversy where none exists. That’s incredibly unfortunate.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right. So, first up, the… I don’t even know. So, this is… How do you say this? The Jillian Barr Syndrome? Gillian?
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s Guillain-Barre.
SPEAKER 02 :
Guillain-Barre Syndrome. The cases rise to 207. This is in India. Is this in America? Why are they rising? Is it… king i mean vax injury i’m not saying yeah that’s what i’m saying uh but they also said that uh the cases rise in a five mile radius from uh i guess one place in india where it’s their public their district health department i don’t know it’s just a weird story and it’s based in india uh let’s see this uh gun save lives uh a mother uh Thank heaven she was armed. This is from central Illinois, a home invasion in Decatur. There was a mother of two. She ended up being shot. She was woken up to the sound of shattering glass and footsteps in her home. She was with her two young children. Two people invaded her home. They immediately started shooting at her. She was hit once in the arm, once in the hip. She shot back and that saved her life. She was trying to protect her children, and after the intruders left, her boyfriend arrived. She was taken to the hospital. She wasn’t in serious. She was shot twice, but the injuries were not serious, and she was able to come home. But then, later that morning, officers were dispatched to a home for the report of a man having been shot. A 24-year-old, Deontay Stone, he was later interviewed at the hospital by a detective, and apparently he was the one who forced his way into her home, and that it was him. So they’re in trouble. He’s been charged with home invasion. The other person’s been charged with attempted murder, home invasion, aggravated battery with a firearm. They’re all booked in Macon County Jail. Guns save lives, because if she had not been there to do that, who knows what would have happened. I mean, that’s just horrible. Oh, wow. A theme park with real crocs. A crocodile snatches a grandfather in his jaws and drags him into the water at a water park. So this is in Indonesia. They kept it at a local theme park and then people can make offerings. And an elderly man ended up getting… Well, I mean, he got dragged into the water. They have 14 different types of crocodiles. They’re standing right by the water, though. Like, if you know it’s croc infested, you know how fast they can come out of the water. Why would you stand anywhere near it? And there have been a number of crocodile attacks because in that particular part of the world, the river is used for cooking and for bathing and for everything else. And so you’re naturally bringing people into contact with. that crazy predator. So, uh, and just wild. I mean, could have, thankfully they were able to save him and upstate New York town reports over 300 inches of snow. I cannot even imagine. That’s like my worst nightmare is all of that snow. The, the videos and photos of these people like digging out are pretty crazy. Uh, everybody’s been, I mean, we’ve got, what is it? It’s not a polar vortex, but it is like polar weather. That’s Yeah. So they said that in other parts of New York, they got three to four feet of snow. This is wild. And they said that in, let’s see, northern New York, they were looking at 15 to 28 inches. Wow. I can’t even imagine. That’s crazy. So we’re not. It’s just cold here. And then next week it’s going to be 75. I can’t deal anymore.
SPEAKER 06 :
What crimes it was that he was concerned about that caused him to plead the fifth. Kash Patel, mark my words, will cause evil in this building behind us, and Republicans who vote for him will rue that day.
SPEAKER 02 :
So that’s Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who’s talking about Kash Patel, who’s expected to His confirmation advances today. And he’s saying that Kash Patel is going to cause evil in the building behind him. That’s the same Senator Sheldon Whitehouse who was literally part of an all whites, a whites only private beach club for decades. Literally for decades. And you’re like, well, Dana, that was probably like maybe in the 60s. I don’t know. No, it literally was 2021 when it was discovered. Yeah, I didn’t even know that those things existed today still. Seriously? Yeah, he was confronted by a local reporter in Rhode Island and they discussed this club that was part of what they said was the Spouting Rock Beach Association and they said apparently it’s a club that has racial rules And White House replied when he was asked about it. He said, quote, it’s a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them. I think we just need to work our way through the issues. His wife was one of the three largest shareholders in the whites only club. Interesting. So. Oh, really? Of him being asked that? Play it. Yeah, let’s play it. I just want to hear how he defends that.
SPEAKER 03 :
It would become more diverse. Now, your family’s been members. Your wife is one of the largest shareholders. Has there been any traction in that? Are there any minority members of the club now?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think the people who are running the place are still working on that. I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m not sorry enough for him to leave it. So he’s, you know why? Sheldon Whitehouse doesn’t like Kash Patel because Kash Patel is a brown guy. That’s why. He’s a brown man. That’s why. Well, no, that’s literally it. I can’t think of any other reason why he would. You know, he’s an old white Democrat. He’s one of the he’s a Marxist. So, of course, he sees a minority who is not a Marxist. Oh, my gosh. You mean someone who could who’s a free thinker thinks for themselves, doesn’t like deep state danger, danger. Like these people, how does this guy still, what an indictment on voters that you have this guy like that in that district in Rhode Island. I mean, that is a major indictment on voters. Because these people are reflective of the people who send them to D.C. I know that that’s unpopular for politicians to say, but I don’t know. I’m not working about worrying about currying favor with voters of Sheldon Whitehouse. So I don’t care. Yeah. Bill Clinton also. The New York Times busted him in 1994, I think. Um, that story came out when I was in high school because I was so shocked at hearing that there was, I didn’t even know that there was a whites only golf club. Uh, and why is it always golf clubs by the way? Why is that? That’s so weird to me out of all the, it’s just weird. You know, it’s weird. Why? I don’t know. But Democrats have a major problem with that. So you had Bill Clinton who got busted when he was on the campaign trail by the New York Times for being a member of a whites only golf club. And then you had Sheldon Whitehouse who just a couple of years ago gets busted. And he’s very upset at Kash Patel because Kash Patel, he’s a brown man, you know, and Sheldon Whitehouse, you know, you know, white only whites only golf club member doesn’t like that. I think that’s pretty accurate, by the way. Just wild.
