Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Celtech. It’s his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida man. Yeah, So, got a couple of things here.

This I’ve I I this is an older story. Hold up and do this one. So a guy’s son was gets caught trespassing, right, Why is it always at a Walmart? I’m not kidding you, Like, every time I’ve got like a trespass story, it’s always at Walmart. So Florida man gets arrested because his son was trespassing at a Walmart and when the dad showed up Flager County, he attacked the deputies who contacted him to get his kid.

So Flager County Sheriff’s office responded toultiple reports of juveniles causing disturbances and a Walmart. They were all in our sixteen. They were in bikes to the store, yelling curson setting off car alarms, and deputies found the group. Recognized the teens contact with their parents and one of the parents this explains why the kid was doing what he was doing.

Thirty four year old Jonah Harrington from Palm Coast arrived in immediately confronted law enforcement he gets out, runs up to the deputy and just shoves shoves him. It’s all on body cam footage. And dude, don’t you know that he’s If you had to guess, like was he wearing his hat with a straight bill, and did you have like a goofy shirt on? And you know, look like he got a d bag starter kit. The answers, yes, yes he did.

Two other deputies try to detain him, and Harrington punched one officer resisted the efforts of another deputy to secure in handcuffs, so then he tried to flee. He was apprehended after a struggle, and the sheriff said, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. You know, we asked these parents to come pick up their kids because they were causing trouble, but this parent chose to attack our deputies instead. So now you see, right, doesn’t He’s right? It does not fall far from the tree.

Can you imagine, God, help my child. If the police called me and they were like, ma’am, you have to come get your child, I would turn into Granny Boots. Granny Boots would get real quiet and she’d point to a willow tree that she had her friend. You know, we killed this tree.

She had twenty three grandkids. We killed the stam tree. We had to go cut a branch off it with a pair of utility scissors. She would strip the leaves off with her hand and fold it and whoop us with it.

I never got a whooping because I was an angel and I was yep, and I was Granny Boots’s favorite. So but all my other cousins got beat. But that’s like the scariest thing ever. I would show up with like a whole thatch of them things, be like, you tell me where my kid is, Officer, I will handle this situation.

I’m just saying, Golly runs up and he’s on and you know, all these police, it’s like you can see their body camp, their body cameras. Why would you do that? This debate last night, good and bad. The worst moment was got to give that. Got to give that ribbon to Tim Walls, who just started falling all over himself when he was asked, well, why did you lie about China? I’ve never heard anyone take so long to say that they didn’t lie.

Listen to this governor. Just to follow up on that, The question was, can you explain the notancy. All I said on this was is I got there that summer and misspoke on this, So I will just that’s what I’ve said. So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in and from that I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.

Hmm. I mean you could have just said that you lied. I mean they asked him, and he’s like, well, it was the best of times, it was the worst. Just do just say that you lied.

Well, I misspoke, you lied, And then you know, he told on himself because he was like, you know, and I how did he put it? I quoted it at the time he had said at one point he was like, yeah, you know, I to you know, sometimes get into I slip into the rhetoric. Well you just admitted that you lied. Then at that point, I mean, that’s what the world is your damage, dude, you just admitted that you lied. That’s all I gotta do, all I gotta say.

But that was a really that was awkward. That was a very awkward moment for him, And there were a lot of very awkward moments. Yeah, he’s he didn’t, he doesn’t. He didn’t have a lot of room last night except to play that yok grmo knuckle hoad stick.

But then he was like, well, I get caught up in the rhetoric. Okay, you just just you lied. You lied, And then he tried to side scripture, which, as you know, if you’re familiar with the Merchant of Venice, even the devil can quote scripture. But there you go.

He’s I I don’t think that he he didn’t get angry, and I was actually kind of anticipating for I was waiting for him to do so because from what I know, he’s got a short temper and he just seems like a jackwagon. He’s one of those dudes, right, he just seems like that. But he didn’t take debate, and he was very disciplined in that regard so much jd Vance and jd Vance state on point now, I’m going to say something that’s unpopular. His answer on guns was horrible, Yes, Walts was Walts’s answer on guns was bad.

But I wasn’t impressed with Jade Vance as either. I don’t think he’s a gun control guy. He’s not a gun guy though, that’s evident. And when I say that he’s not a gun guy, I mean, he’s not a hunter.

He probably doesn’t shoot regularly. I don’t demand that you be a hunter or that you go out and shoot regularly in order for me to like you as a candidate. But I do demand that you agree with me on these issues relating to our enumerated rights, and I do agree. I do demand that you don’t use the language of the left.

So here’s the question that was asked, and we’ll get into all the other stuff, but this is where I’m going to be. I’m gonna call balls and strikes on this stuff. And this was the first time VANCE was really tested like this, I think, on this issue. So this was was It was like eleventy four million, eighty three audio SoundBite, the one where where is it? Nora is asking the question Nora O’Donnell and first off the questions wrong audio sound bite nineteen go ahead and kick this one.

Nineteen thousand, million, eleveny forty thousand. That one. Now to America’s gun violence epidemic. The leading cause of death for children and teens in America is by firearms.

Okay, that’s wrong, and right out of the gate when that question came in, that should have immediately been established and it wasn’t. Why is that wrong? Here’s why that here’s why that question is a presupposition based on fraudulent not even evidence, just based on lies. First off, it is not the leading cause of death. The only reason, the only way that they can make it the leading cause of death is and this is what the CDC did.

They redefined the age of a quote unquote child to go all the way up till twenty, So eighteen to twenty years are now factored into that average. When you remove that age demographic, the eighteen to twenty year olds, guess what that falls down? Behind car accidents and drownings. Now, let’s go back to that subset. I’ve written about this, It’s in one of my books.

There’s a lot of evidence on this, so I’m not making anything up that’s not publicly available on the internet. According to the CDC and the DOJ and the FBI’s own criminal statistics, this subset, this age subset, the eighteen to twenty year old. Why does it inflate that number so much? Because it’s gang and drug violence and it completely correlates when you look at the numbers given by the CDC for eighteen and younger and then you add in the FBI Criminal Statistics FI, the uniform crime reports. When you add in the publicly available crime data it tracks.

The CDC inflates that number by including eighteen to twenty year old and defining them as children. That is why they then can say, oh, well, look it’s the leading cause of death for children because they redefined it. Again, when you remove that subset, then eighteen and under it falls behind the child. Uh, the leading cause of death falls behind automobiles and drownings.

Now suicides are also factored in there. That is a mental health issue. In fact, suicides comprise one third of that statistic for that subset. Now that’s a whole other conversation.

But the reason it is inflated is to fear monger and scare people into thinking that their children could be statistics. When these incidents, although one is too many, are incredibly rare and they’re always preventable. But we don’t talk about the preventable aspects of it, which is one of the things that Vance did touch on. What I didn’t like that Vance did, and I was not a fan of his language on this is he borrowed the language of the left.

He used the language the left. In his response on firearms, he said the phrase gun violence epidemic, and he and Walsh were very nice to each other on this, and he also used the phrase illegal guns. Here’s why I have a major problem with this. Again.

I don’t demand that you be as hardcore about two A as I am for my support, but you do need to believe that my right, my enumerated right, should not be infringed upon language like gun violence epidemic, language like illegal guns, that those are words of the left. You cannot win a debate on this issue when you are already validating your opponent’s points because you’re incorporating their rhetoric into your argument. This is rhetoric one oh one. For instance, there’s no such thing as quote unquote illegal guns.

A gun is in ananimate object. There is criminal possession, but there isn’t an illegal gun. By saying the phrase illegal gun instead of criminal possession, you are ascribing a moral esthetic to an inanimate object, which is exactly what gun controllers want to do, because that continues to validate the anti gun language, which dictates that inanimate objects somehow possess the ability to influence the carrier. Upset object towards criminal behavior.

A gun itself is not illegal, it cannot be so. The legality or illegality is determined by the wilful way in which a person chooses to use or acquire it per law. And there’s no gun violence epidemic. There is, And this is where Vance left a ton of meat on the bum.

I don’t know how you don’t get into Tim Waltz’s behavior during Minnesota, the riots. Vance left that meat on the bone. There is and this is where he could have done it. There’s in a gun violence epidemic.

There is an epidemic of lawlessness that is brought on by the sort of restorative justice that’s supported by Tim Walls and Kamala Harris. Look at the riots in Minnesota. How many of those people were not even arrested, not even detained. Kamala Harris was promoting their bail fund, the bail fund of people who burned down entire communities, historically black communities.

I might add, you know the communities that Gwynn Wall says she enjoyed smelling burning and that’s why she left her windows open. He left a lot of meat on the bone there, and that was very disappointing. I expect wolves to be anti gun, but I don’t expect my Republican candidate to validate their language by speaking recklessly on it. Because we are in where I mean, it’s a match where you cannot give any kind of ground.

And words do matter, folks, because when it comes to this sort of thing, when it comes to gun law, the words you use invoke different aspects of the law and with it different penalties and consequences, and with that, different abridgments of your rights. So you’re damn right. Language is important in some instances. It’s everything.

It’s our partners over at cal Ticket’s the P fifteen. It’s the lightest than a double stack nine millimeter on the market. You’ve got two versions. You have the polymer version and you have the metal version.

The metal version has the woodgrip panels on a palmer version. Get look, just get the damn gun. You know why because it’s a nice concealable gun. It’s nice, it’s lightweight.

It sends with two magazines. One’s a fifteen round magazine standard capacity for the whims out there, standard capacity, minimal peinky extension. The other one’s the twelve round that’s flush fit double stack Magna holds twelve rounds if you want, like the ultra concealability treating fiber optic front site sweet trigger. I mean, it’s a Striker fire pistol from the people who literally invented the micro compact pistol category for the everyman.

That’s the tiny, little, teeny witty bitty gun. Okay, you don’t lose stop power. It’s a great gun. Get it because you’re probably gonna need it if things keep going down this route.

You can find it at Celtech Innovation Performance Celtech, great Florida based company. America needs more companies like them. Find it at cel Tech weapons dot Com. It’s called the p fifteen that stands for fifteen PEWS right standard capacity pews k e l Tec Weapons dot Com.

Tell them that Danta sents you for the love of all things holy. And now all of the news you would probably miss, it’s time for Dana’s quick five. So I thought this was funny because they are saying now that gen X is the most stressed generational live, but they’re also the best at handling it. And we’re also called the coolest generation.

Just gotta say gen X people who are born between sixty five and seventy nine. I’m there. I am there, so stop gatekeeping. I barely got in, but I’m there.

Stop it. It’s official. Night just cited this a very official news article. Kine.

It’s America’s goofy middle children sandwich between the boomers and millennial and gen X is all individualistic nonconformists. I mean, you know, we did punk zines and tech startups, so everybody can step off. It’s a loof cool, right, But they’re also really self We’re the latch key kids. According to one marketing marketing study, gen Z or gen X went through its all important formative years, is one of the least parented, least nurtured generations in US history.

It was the first generation that experienced both parents working outside the home, so we had to be self sufficient for survival. That’s why we can handle stress, and in gen X fashion, we don’t like to let people see that we are stressed. That’s a huge study and they’re totally correct. This is weird.

A long lost seafloor discovered beneath the Pacific Ocean could rewrite Earth’s history. Are there aliens? Scientists have mapped it. They found that it was unusually thicker and cooler than the surrounding areas, which would signal aliens. The ancient seafloor challenges existing theories about Earth’s interior structures that were King Kong lost down there.

And anyway, it’s the Nasca Plate and the East Pacific Rise. So if that’s you know, your jam, it’s kind of interesting. Let’s see. Uh oh, I don’t care about this chick who left the Washington Post.

She’s literally nobody. Green Day was banned from Las Vegas radio stations because Billy Joe Armstrong is a d bag. He called the city a poohole. He didn’t say it like that, but he did, and he got mad, and I just I just don’t know why.

I feel like he’s got an arrested development because he’s like seventy thousand years old and he dresses like a twenty year old in two thousand and three, and it’s just the height of cringe. It’s the height of cringe. I want to switch gears here, and I want to touch on this very interesting thing that I’ve been seeing with regard to the the helicopters and the way that they have been like the privately owned Choppers and how they’ve been responding to a lot of this. There was a very interesting piece that I was reading about the US Helicopter Commune.

I’d love that we have a helicopter community. God bless America. I’ve never I’ve flown in a chopper. I’ve never flown a chopper per se.

Kind of now I’m interested in it. But it talks about like, for instance, in North Carolina, they have all of these privately owned choppers that are out there doing these rescue efforts and it’s amazing to see some of this stuff. And they’ve i mean the photos and the video air their airlifting supplies there. It’s like the Cajun Navy, but like in the air.

Cajun Air, right, Cajun Air. That’s an air wouldn’t you fly that airline? I would totally fly that airline. Instead of peanuts, they give out gumbo or something. Dude, here’s your cup of gumbo.

Now we ain’t giving you no peanuts up in here. You get a cup of gumba. Oh my gosh. Cajun Navy, come on, you got y’all gotta make that happen.

Cajun Air. I would demand to fly Cajun Air everywhere. Huh, there’s your slogan Cajun Air air there. It is right there.

So they have been going in and around trying to help all these people. And I know that there’s also this people were asking about Fort Bragg because there’s a lot of helicopters at Fort Bragg, and the people were asking, well, why are they not getting why are they not getting involved? Where are they not getting you know, power and get out there and get supplies in because a lot of the people have been saying, well, a government aid is nowhere to be found. And they’ve got video of all of these helicopters that are privately owned volunteering their time and their fuel, and they’re running supplies because the roads are impassable. They’re running supplies, they’re rescuing people, they’re dropping stuff up on the hills.

I mean, it’s just wild. And there was one guy who told who was told by the fire chief that if he went back, and he’s a guy who owns a chopper, if he went back, they would arrest him. He had to leave this dude on the mountain. Why, Okay, I’m really confused about this.

Why are people why are some of these It seems like some of these private choppers, why are some of them being deterred from doing this? Is there? I mean, you’re in a it’s a natural disaster, it’s an emergency zone, and people have been You can see how people have been following like flight tracker and all this other stuff, and they can see how many government assets like helicopters. Government helicopters are operating with rescues and they’re able to filter out civilian and passenger aircraft. And people are wondering it seems like there’s more privately owned than there is a government owned. Here’s an interview with this guy who was saying that he was told he basically had to stop making these rescue efforts and dropping supplies.

Listen to this, this is wild. Why started helping with coordination? He gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on set up a landing area for me to come back with the victim, and in the middle of the whole conversation and then blocking the road off, I was greeted by the at that time I didn’t know, but Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief maybe, and he shut down the whole operation. So at that point there was I felt like the conversation wasn’t going any further, and again he asked me to leave, and I said, hey, I have no problem getting out of your area. If that’s what you want us to do, we’ll leave no issue.

At that point, I asked him, you know what was the reason I had to leave them there? And he said, again, you’re interfering with my operation. I just need you to get out of the area. I said, sir, I don’t know where you were trained at, but I know how my training is and I’m not going to leave personnel behind. I’m going back to get my co pilot.

He said, if you turn around and go back up the mountain, you’re going to be arrested. I said, well, so I’ll say this, I get it. If you know you are, you know, the firefight er EMT, and you’ve got a rescue plan and resources in place, and you don’t want anyone interfering with that. But that’s the question, isn’t it, Because the assertion is that there wasn’t a plan nor were there resources in place, Right, that’s the whole thing, right.

So, and this is just one, apparently one example, because emergency responders are so overstretched in these areas. It’s insane, and I think that you would take that into account and would welcome or try to incorporate as a part of your plan people who are able to help out, who have the ability to get to these areas that are impassable due to landslides and busted up roads and all this stuff. And I get that, you know, you want to secure an area and you’re trying to do everything, but again, a lot of these people are a lot of these first responders are totally overstretched. I understand you don’t want every time tacking Harry coming up and get involved in all that, but people with shoppers because apparently there are not enough, And I think it’s you know, important, especially if part of your plan is making sure that you’re rescuing people off the mountain and you don’t have the fully available resources to do so.

Why would you have people wait up on the mountains being stranded for days when you could have like privately owned choppers people and assist those people and organize them and use their resources, use them as assets, and have them rescue people so that you’re not stretched so thin. I feel like there’s a better way to do this, And the crazy thing is is that if we had a better I think I think some of these if we had a better response in some of these areas, I think that this conversation would be it would be unnecessary. But that’s I mean the devastation. I mean, I oh my gosh, they still don’t even really have estimates as to how much and what all is going to be required.

I mean, it’s just so they’re still just trying to ascertain the level of damage and save people. And I also think that the other issue with this is there’s not Do you feel like there’s not enough attention on this from national press? Like they talked about it and now I just feel like it’s sort of fallen by the wayside. Am I being too sensitive with that? No, you’re not. I believe that this media has been consistently running cover for the left, and I think this is another example.

But do you think that they’re not reporting on this as much because it’s Southeastern states that are mostly affected? Again, I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to cause a problem unnecessarily, but I do have to wonder why the coverage is so completely lopsided. Well, I remember and I put this story in your prep last night that back in Hurricane Katrina, they couldn’t immediately get to the area right, and so when there was a lag in FEMA help and all of that, people were going all over the media and saying how George Bush hated black people and all of this stuff and made it a race issue in the whole nine. So if those rules applied to what we do today in how we respond in the media on this, then yes, it would look like based on the lack of FEMA and obviously the lack of interest that both Kamala and Joe Biden had in this whole tragedy, apparently they hate white people and they hate people that vote mostly for Trump. I mean, apparently.

Helene is already one of the deadliest costless storms to hit the United States. It dumped forty trillions, forty trillion gallons of rain on the Southeastern States. Forty trillions, forty trillion gallons. That’s enough to fill Dallas Cowboys Stadium fifty one thousand times or Lake Tahoe just once.

That’s how much. Now. The reason I bring this up is because Steve made a good point. Hurricane Cenia got so much coverage and not that it didn’t you know, deserve to get a lot of coverage, but you have Katrina, Harvey, Ian Andrew, and Sandy was listed at number four, but Helene is right now and it’s top ten.

It is a it’s a it’s a bad hurricane. But and the devastation seems like it’s in multiple states and not just really concentrated on a couple. But there does seem to be like there’s a lop sided coverage because the media is mostly centralized in the Northeast, and anything that happens to the media just takes over, you know, the whole day. My gosh, you get a snowstorm and it’s just you know, wall to wall coverage, and you get major flooding like in Tennessee and there’s like barely a blit.

And now the recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene are just starting to slip past, and they’re rolling off there. What they call above the folds. When you get your newspaper and it’s folded in half, all the most important stuff is above the fold, so that you before you even fold it unfolded to be the full broadsheet half broadsheet, then all the most important stuff was there, so above the fold is what they refer to. That’s like the order of importance.

It’s already fallen below the fold. Now it’s going on page one A, two A, so this is it’s I don’t know, I’m not trying to be overly sensitive, but it feels like, you know, considering some of the devastation, like in North Carolina they got hit so bad and the landslides are horrific. I’m I’m on and they’re still trying to find people. There’s still tons of people unaccounted.

One hundred and fifty nine fatalities so far with ABC had that twenty hours ago. It’s probably more now. Florida peanut farmers say this is worse than Adalia. They say that they’re dealing with devastating losses with the peanut crop.

So it’s and they think that that Helene is going to join the five most damaging it’s technically in the top ten, but it’s being estimated that’s going to join the five most damaging her hands of all time.
