In this episode of Liberty Nation, host Mark Angelides opens a discussion on the potential impact of gambling on Major League Baseball, urging a fresh look at the sport’s integrity amidst market forces. We then switch gears to Dana Lash’s podcast where the quirks of the ‘Florida Man’ are humorously unraveled, ranging from outlandish police arrests to FEMA’s baffling delays in aid delivery which sparked local outrage. Continuing with the theme of responsibility and transparency, the Immigration visa debate resurfaces as guests argue over Melania Trump’s receipt of an EB-1 visa, often called the ‘Einstein visa’. The discussion delves
Is gambling ruining Major League Baseball? And can the sport recover from the heavy pressure of market forces? Find out on Liberty Nation Radio.

SPEAKER 09 :
Dana Lash’s Absurd Truth Podcast, sponsored by Kel-Tec.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, so first up… This is not the way to handle your arrest. A man spits on a cop and then starts slurring him and then really is resisting. I mean, it’s not really this. I feel I feel bad for cops because this happens every day to cops. Like this is the stuff that they have to deal with. The guy, Troy Green, was arrested because he was stealing snacks and liquor from a 7-Eleven in Volusia County. And the body cam footage, body cam video footage. We can’t play any of it. Because it sounds like a Kendrick Lamar song and we’ll get in trouble. By the way, Kendrick Lamar and this guy’s out here making everybody fat and giving them all heart disease, according to Jamal Bowman. Diabetes. Diabetes. It’s my new song. Lil Diabetes. Sheriff Mike Chitwood condemned the guy’s actions and the mom’s man publicly apologized. Imagine being 40 years old and your mom’s going to go, I’m so sorry for my child. Wow. He’s behind bars, though, because you can’t be doing stuff like that. Let’s see. I got more. He, uh… I wanted to get this. This is the one. This is crazy. This, you know how there’s like criticism of FEMA, right? FEMA moves real slow. This is a news investigation. I was looking for the network. It’s ABC. So it’s WFTS, ABC, Action News in Tampa Bay. Listen to how crazy this is. So FEMA just apparently now this week delivered a trailer to a woman who kicked the bucket in 2014. Yeah, it’s 2025. Pasco County. They finally delivered her FEMA trailer. And she’s been she has been deaded. She was deaded in 2014. And the neighbors were like, wait a minute, what’s happening here? They, you know, it’s kind of a rural-esque area. But, you know, they’ve had Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. But they said the area is actually 10 feet above sea level. It’s not an evac zone. They were trying to figure out how in the world the FEMA trailer appeared next door. The neighbors noted it. And then they, it’s like a, and then, I was reading the process by which these people are having to go to get FEMA to get the trailer back. Oh, my gosh. Just keep it. It’s your free trailer now because, oh, my gosh, they have to like file a million things. Then they have to meet with like some FEMA administrator. And it’s not as easy as, hey, the lady that you deliver the trailer almost 10 years too late to is no longer here. It’s not as simple as that.
SPEAKER 03 :
More than 10 years too late. And if anyone was ever asked themselves, hey, how does federal government manage emergencies?
SPEAKER 07 :
Right? This is it. This is exactly how they do it. It is wild. This is crazy. So, yeah, that’s… Oh, let’s see. Oh, boy. A Florida man who is also a doctor was charged after stealing fentanyl from an ICU patient’s IV using a syringe… Yeah. Fort Pierce, Florida. He was found charged with a felony, or they formally charged him with a felony. He removed fentanyl from the ICU patient’s IV line during a night shift at Florida Longwood Hospital. He’s been charged. Wow. He withdrew it directly from the IV line using a syringe while on duty in ICU. Actual, like, yeah. And he’s… was exhibiting unusual behavior observable by colleagues. He’s 52 years old. He’s an anesthesiologist and critical care physician. And thankfully they, they noted hospital staff noted discrepancies in the medication dosage. And that’s how they, I have to say major kudos to that staff for catching that. That is wild because I get, I bet he thought he was doing it in the most surreptitious way possible. Right. And he got caught because they were paying very close attention.
SPEAKER 03 :
Fentanyl is highly regulated.
SPEAKER 07 :
Good night. So he is charged with a whole bunch of stuff, including possession of a controlled substance, specifically fentanyl and or a fentanyl derivative. I didn’t even know there were fentanyl derivatives. Did you? I didn’t even know that. Drugs. We don’t know anything. Let’s see. And I had one more. A Florida woman chose violence. She decided to go crazy while she was handcuffed on her way to jail. She retrieved a hidden gun from her waist. How did they not get that? She opened fire. She slapped some deputies, kicked them in the neck, all kinds of stuff. And this was in Marion County, Florida. So let’s be real. Medical freedom isn’t just a catchphrase. It’s your right. Your health decisions belong to you and not the government, not big pharma and definitely not someone elected bureaucrat. So that’s why I’m all in on what All Family Pharmacy is doing.

SPEAKER 01 :
And since we’re talking about integrity, I’m confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren’t talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president’s family’s visas. Let me remind y’all that Melania, the first lady, a model, and when I say model, I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level, applied for and was given an EB-1 visa. And what that stands for is an Einstein visa. Now, y’all that don’t know, Let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Last time I checked, the First Lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathin’ here.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, first off, that’s not accurate. She came in on a regular work visa and then went on after that. So that’s, you know, and if she wants to have this conversation, then this fake M.I.C.D.S. princess and that one of her cupcake hell she’s wearing is look anthropology can we just get past the whole peasant dress stuff and the puff sleeves because it’s killing my soul thank you uh she came in on a regular visa and then she uh then went to get her eb1 and by the way uh she pretty much do you know how many languages she speaks she speaks seven languages yeah she not yeah what were you gonna say well
SPEAKER 03 :
They try to say this Einstein thing is only for Nobel Peace Prize and these academics and all that. But models, artists, performers that have international acclaim are also qualified for this particular visa. And that is exactly how Melania fell under that qualification.
SPEAKER 07 :
Correct. That is exactly how she fell under that qualification. So there was nothing shady here. They’re just mad because they hate immigrants. People like Jasmine Crockett, they hate immigrants. They’ve been saying this. It really is trying to be the new Maxine Waters because Maxine Waters brought this up first. This is not even an original line of attack. This is something that Maxine Waters actually brought up first. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you here right at the top of the third hour. And you can find us. Channel 347 is how you can watch the radio program. And, of course, you can find the chat over at Rumble. She came over. In fact, years before her and 12 years before her parents did. And she was on proper visa. She was on a work visa. And she which I don’t know why they have such a problem with her. She came in like the correct way. She immigrated legally and then she was granted U.S. citizenship. There’s like a big think piece. I have it on Wayback because there’s a paywall that actually dives into this issue. And it’s like a middle of the road, kind of an independent source. And they were just looking at the differences in visas and they did a deep dive into it. And I mean, she came on her work visa and then she was able to obtain an EB-1 and then she has citizenship now. I just think that that’s, I mean, she’s ridiculing. I don’t know what their problem is with Melania Trump. Because Melania Trump, I mean, she became a citizen, a U.S. citizen in 05 or 06. I can’t remember. It was like the beginning of the aughts, like in the very beginning of the aughts. But she is, you know, accomplished. She’s got products that she deals. She has her business. And then she also had her career. And she speaks seven languages. Hell, she could be a spy. You don’t even know. She could be. She could be a spy for the U.S. She speaks seven languages. She has like three languages that she’s fluent in. And then you’ve got this clown with her fake thick black glasses. She doesn’t wear glasses, but she’s wearing these thick black glasses as a fashion accessory. And she’s wearing more material. And it’s like baby poo yellow material dress. I mean, if we’re going to have this conversation, let’s have this conversation full on. And then she’s making fun of her modeling career. Someone who wears a Levanti Frillian gauge, fake ass lashes affixed to their face every single day of the week and dresses like a bad anthropology mannequin doesn’t get to criticize someone who’s prettier, more educated and more successful than they are. There you go. That’s all there is to say about it. I mean, I didn’t want to go down that road, but you elected to go down that road with me. And now we’ve interlocked arms and I’m not letting you get away. So I get so tired of this stuff. But that’s the that’s the. And it’s because Democrats hate immigrants. They’ve always had a problem with immigrants. If you come here illegally and you do amazing things, they don’t care. You come here illegally and you beat women and you traffic people and sell drugs, then they have margaritas with you. That’s the way it goes. Partners that help bring you the program. It is our friends. It’s the company Kel-Tec, PR57. It is one of the newer models from Kel-Tec. It’s a rotary barrel pistol that’s chambered in 5.7. And it’s the smallest 5.7 that’s on the market. In fact, it’s 40% lighter. than all of the other ones that are out there. And it’s super affordable. The MSRP is only $399. And they accomplish the smaller stature in a couple of different ways. The rotary barrel, obviously, the way that that has helped redefine the shape and the weight, but also the unique top-loading design replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for slimmer carry profile in a 20 plus 1 capacity. And again, super affordable. MSRP only $399. You got low recoil for easy use and accuracy. It’s built to perform when it matters most and super awesome. You have to check it out. It’s from Caltech, made in Florida. Innovation Performance, Caltech, K-E-L-T-E-C. It is the rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5.7, the PR-57. Visit caltechweapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.

SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, so Chuck Schumer was apparently hospitalized for dehydration, feeling lightheaded during, I am so tired of scorching heat wave. It’s summer! Stop it. People are freaking out over the weather. All the people who tell you every single day about climate change apparently don’t understand that when it gets summer, it gets hot out. Like, you’re going to sweat. The 74-year-old Brooklyn Democrat was lightheaded while he was working out on a stationary bike in the Senate gym. They said he was briefly hospitalized out of an abundance of caution. His electrolytes were probably low. He was dehydrated. I mean, there’s a number of things. And also stationary bikes are stupid. There’s a number of things.
SPEAKER 03 :
If he’s in the gym, is it climate change? Is it because it’s summer and it’s hot outside when he’s in the gym?
SPEAKER 07 :
At least he goes, look, I’ll give him this. At least he’s not like his predecessor. He goes to the gym to work out. He doesn’t work out in his bathroom and hit his head on every available object that is near him.
SPEAKER 03 :
That Harry Reid misfortune.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, when Harry Reid was working out with bands in his bathroom and it looked like someone swung him around by his ankles and hit him, used him for batting practice. That’s what it looked like. That’s, you know, I mean, I’m not going to say he got beaten up because he was the head of the Gaming Commission, but I’m, you know, does indicate that maybe something like that may have happened. A man, I’m going to tell you what, a man who was accused of kicking a canine at Dulles International Airport so hard that the dog was lifted off the ground. If I would have seen this guy, I would be in jail right now. You guys think I’m joking when I say something like this. I can promise you without any hyperbole that I am not. He kicked the dog so hard that the dog went airborne. And the guy whose name was Hamid Marie attacked the canine named Freddy as it was screening luggage. And it’s a little beagle. It was a little beagle that was trained to find illicit agricultural contraband. Freddie was injured and had to be taken to the emergency veterinarian room. And then the guy was taken into custody. Please, for the love of all things holy, U.S. government, if you ever do anything for me, allow me to be in charge of this dude’s punishment. I’ll do it for free. I will pay to do it. I’ll pay extra. I don’t even care. There’s nothing that I love more than watching people who are mean to animals suffer. Nothing. I enjoy it. It’s not great, but I do. Please let me handle this. Oh, please. I think everyone can agree with this. What would you have done if you saw a guy kick a beagle? I would have punched this guy in the throat, kicked him in the jimmies, and stomped on his head. That’s what I immediately would have done. I already had 10 different ways I would have heard him.
SPEAKER 11 :
And the problem is we are not dealing with America’s original sin and its disease of hate and racism towards black and brown people and sexism towards women and anti-LGBTQ sentiment. We are not dealing with that. Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis. You can’t be calm about this. I’m a black man in America. The reason why heart disease… Listen to what I’m saying. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day. If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow… and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.
SPEAKER 07 :
But unfortunately, we’re still here. Hmm. So that’s Jamal Bowman, who… Fire Marshal Bowman? Yeah, Fire Marshal Bowman, who thinks that people suffer, black people have heart disease, and they deal with obesity because they’re called the N-word every day. What? I’ve never heard this before. Did this come out during COVID?
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I haven’t seen any studies on this at all.
SPEAKER 07 :
This is so weird. I’ve never, I don’t know where he’s getting that information. What show was he on? Was he on the Shmoo? What was that? I didn’t pay attention to the show.
SPEAKER 03 :
That was CNN. It was Abby Phillips’ show, I think.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t even know who that is. I literally don’t. Which one is she? I don’t know. They’re all the talking heads there. They’re all the same level of Marxist.
SPEAKER 03 :
She’s a talking head on CNN.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. And we are at the top of the second hour. I’m just still trying to wrap my head around that one. That Jamal Bowman sound right there. So I’m really tired of the racial hustle. I think we all are. Do you think it’s going away? Do you think it’s starting to dissipate or it’s maybe not so much dissipate in terms that they’re trying to the same grifters are trying to push it, but that it’s not having the same effect?
SPEAKER 03 :
So do you mean is the use of it being dissipated or is actual racism? Because I think actual racism, we were pretty much it was gone by the 90s.
SPEAKER 07 :
It was not a thing. I don’t know how people were raised. Dude, how I mean, how I do not know how people were raised because in the 90s, this was not a thing. It was not a thing. It is the I’ve I do not know how to explain it. I tried telling this to my kids and they just because they’ve been raised with this grift this whole time. And I’m like, it seems like it’s worse now because people figured out they could make money off of it. Yeah, that’s what it is. Everybody wanted to turn into Al Sharpton. So like I saw that man’s gold medallions and I wanted that for me.
SPEAKER 03 :
So that effort has kept racism, quote unquote, alive. It being used now effectively, I don’t think it’s effective anymore. I think it’s been so overused that the meaning of it is diluted to the point where it’s no longer effective.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Yeah, I think it’s… I find it all completely fascinating. This whole thing, just this, the, the constant grift of this, the constant push of it. And I feel so bad for like our kids and, you know, other people in their generation, because like, In the 90s, like I said, we did not have this. This was not a thing. Everybody could get along with everybody. If someone wanted to celebrate something, no one held it against them. If someone wanted to appreciate something, no one held it against them. Now, if you do anything like that, everything is appropriation. People figured out they could get a check off of being offended because people would try to baby you. Oh, we don’t want you to be offended. And they they got power in that. They got they got power in demanding that sort of attention. So instead of doing anything that would merit any kind of respectable influence, they decided to go about it that way. It’s just one of the stupidest things I’ve ever, I’ve ever seen. It’s so goofy. So I don’t know this idea that people somehow they’re, they’re not, their life isn’t a result of their choices, but it’s because someone, even if what he said was true, which it’s not because someone said a word to someone. Oh my gosh, stop. And also that doesn’t, he’s saying that, that, It is an issue because people are called names every day, but it couldn’t be an issue because of Democrat policies contributing to the breakdown of the American family. It could be an issue because of Democrat policies breaking down to the neighborhood within an urban environment. It couldn’t be because any of those policies, heaven forbid. But then, see, he would have to explain why he’s a Democrat if he actually addressed those things correctly head on. He would have to explain. That’s what I don’t get with the left. That’s what I don’t get with a lot of this stuff. So I don’t get like how American Indians can be Democrats. Like you literally were forcibly removed in a trail of genocide by Democrats. You were put on what they thought was crappy land that they didn’t want. And then it turned out it had a lot of minerals in it. And then, oh, my gosh, then they made it to where you can’t even own your own land on a reservation anymore. And then you got sucked into a cycle of poverty and dependence completely because of the Democrat Party policies. And then somehow so many Native, so many American Indians vote for Democrats. It’s literally like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. It’s exact. I just do not understand it. And I talk about this because our family’s history, we were on the roll. So we were you know, we had ancestors that were on the trail. Like, I don’t even understand how you can how you vote. How you can vote for people who, the same damn party that does it still today. The same party that wants to keep people disarmed. You know, I was actually shocked, and I wrote about this in my first book, Hands Off My Gun, that the Dred Scott case, how literally not being able to own a firearm was the deciding factor for Judge Taney in the Dred Scott case. Gun control is literally at its very heart and root bigoted. It’s always designed for subjugation, always. So it’s pretty amazing to me. Pretty amazing to me.
