It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.

SPEAKER 04 : 0:15

So a Florida man is threatened to light a homeowner’s car on fire with a Molotov cocktail, said police in Cape Coral. A man was arrested over the weekend. Police said that he pulled out again with the swords. He pulled out a sword. Okay, stop, stop, stop. Full stop. Is that a thing in Florida? Every month I have two to three stories. They’re brand new, different from each other, different parts of Florida where someone has a sword or a machete. Floridians, what is up? Do you all just like have swords? Is that a thing? What in the world? So this guy had a sword and a Molotov cocktail, and he wanted to make a point during an argument with a Cape Coral resident. Cape Coral police said that they got reports of a disturbance at the victim’s home. They met with the homeowner, a 36-year-old man. He showed up in a driveway holding a glass bottle with a cloth wrapped around the top. He threatened to throw it, which he claimed was a Molotov cocktail at one of the vehicles in the driveway and lighted on fire. He also had a sword, and he used the sword to tap on the windshield of a vehicle during the exchange. It was all captured on video by Ring Doorbell camera. And the police located the guy. They asked him. He said, no, I just I went to go ask about the disrespect to a family member. And then he was arrested, taken to Lee County Jail, charged with violating the law that they have about manufacturing firebombs. OK, there you go. But the sword, though, and they was it actually Molotov cocktail? They never really said they never really confirmed that it was. But, you know, let’s see this. This Florida man… Yeah, let’s go ahead and do this. So… Apparently, I don’t think this guy was supposed to be gator hunting, and he was. And it was a company that showed this guy and his friends, they went down to hunt some gators. But the guy’s wife apparently did not know. And there’s videos, but you can’t, there’s a lot of cussing in them. But the guy apparently was, his wife didn’t know that they were all having a little boys trip and they were all drinking and hunting gators. And then a gator bit his hand. So he’s probably going to have to come up with a story as to how to tell his wife. It was done by Salty Adventures. And this Isaiah Trujillo and his friends, they were hunting gators. And then he got his hand bit. And apparently he told his wife he was worried more about his wife finding out. And he had said in the video, don’t wake Katie up, whatever you guys do. He didn’t bite that hard. Like trying to hide it because he didn’t want his wife to know he’s out drinking and gator hunting. She probably would want to come. Stay with us. Third hour next.

So Caitlin Clark came out and said that she felt like it was white privilege. That she ended up, she was saying that she somehow was the beneficiary of white privilege. And she doubled down on it in this soundbite. Listen.

SPEAKER 01 : 4:37

I think we have it. I always have had really good perspective on everything that’s kind of happened in my life, whether that’s been good, whether that’s been bad. And then obviously coming to the WNBA, like I’ve said, I feel like I’ve earned every single thing that’s happened to me over the course of my career. But also, I grew up a fan of this league from a very young age. My favorite player was Maya Moore. I know what this league was about. And like I said, it’s only been around 25 plus years. So I know there’s been so many amazing black women that have been in this league and continuing to uplift them, I think is very important. And that’s something I’m very aware of. And like I said, I try to just be real and authentic and share my truth. And I think that’s very easy for me. I’m very comfortable in my own skin. And that’s kind of been how it is my entire life. Yes.

SPEAKER 04 : 5:28

So she says that she’s admits feeling privilege as a white person and says that the WNBA was built on black players. No, it wasn’t. The WNBA was the welfare recipient of the NBA. Nobody gave a rat’s ass about women’s basketball. Women don’t even give a rat’s ass about women’s basketball. The WNBA was subsidized by the NBA. It is the welfare recipient of the NBA. NBA players and NBA viewers and NBA game attendees built the WNBA. Let’s not pretend like these women who are in the WNBA built it. They can barely keep what was given to them. And then when they get someone who gets the eyeballs, they trash her and drag her down because they are a bunch of jealous bitches. That’s the reality of it. And then they want to play victimhood and act as though everything’s a racial hustle when it’s not. She is one. What is her privilege exactly? And I know a lot of people are slamming her. And I just think that she is navigating something that no one has ever had to go through before. And that’s part of what my point. How in the hell does she have white privilege when she is like one of she’s a minority player in the WNBA? How in the hell does she have white privilege? They have been racist bitches to her since she got there. They have targeted her. They have smeared her. They have acted like she is less than. And to her credit, she’s ignored it up until now. I mean, she’s ignored it up until, you know, this point. So I don’t know how she’s considered privileged. She works hard and she has talent. But how is that a privilege? She works hard with her talent. I mean, this is… It’s goofy. She gets athlete of the year, and then she has to apologize. I feel as though she’s… Because she had said… She said, quote, I want to say that I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is a privilege. I disagree with this. And she says… She said a lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been black players. This league has kind of been built on them. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Again… Someone who is one of, she’s a minority player in the WNBA on her team. And she has to admit to some kind of privilege. They can’t just credit her talent. Like Time Magazine. They said Clark is cognizant of the racial underpinnings of her stardom. She says, I want to say the quote that I gave you, but the fact that she says that, oh, yes, the racial underpinnings, Time Magazine and writing about her, the racial underpinnings of her stardom, the racial underpinnings of the WNBA. Nobody watches it. She’s I don’t know. She just is like a beaten dog. But at the same time, she’s never had to navigate. Nobody’s ever had to navigate anything like this in the WNBA or anything like this. A female. Nobody’s. This is kind of new. It’s very new. But she’s allowing herself to be bullied at this point. And there are players of a different race that did not generate the eyeballs that she generated. They did not generate the interest for the league that she generated. And they feel like they and they’re they’re trying to other her. They’re trying to say that the only reason that she’s talented is because of some sort of privilege. Being white doesn’t make her play better. Practicing hard and working hard does. And she has a natural born talent that is entirely unrelated to her skin color. She just happens to be a white girl. But no one can credit her talent. Because no one wants to admit that she just might be a better player than Angel Reese. Or she just might be a better player than some of the other women on the teams in WNBA. They can’t say that. So they have to discredit her talent by saying, oh, well, white privilege. The hell does white privilege have to do with being naturally talented at basketball? I suck at basketball. Love basketball. Love watching it. Love watching it. And I always wanted to play it. But I’m not very good, Cain. Where’s my white privilege? I was told that I would have privilege. Look, as badly as I wanted to be on my school’s basketball team and I never made it, I was varsity everything I did but basketball for some reason. I have no idea why. It doesn’t make sense. I did 18 years of classical ballet and then I was varsity everything I did from freshman on. Basketball could not do it. No idea why. Where’s my white privilege for that? Right? I wanted it. Isn’t that how it works if you’re white and you want it? Don’t you automatically get it? Cain, how does white privilege work? Isn’t that how it works? You’re white adjacent, though, 50%. So I don’t know.

SPEAKER 03 : 10:37

Yeah, I get a 50% card. 50% privilege.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:40

But the other 50% of you, what privileges have you gotten?

SPEAKER 03 : 10:45

Gosh, I don’t know.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:48

You haven’t gotten any privileges?

SPEAKER 03 : 10:50

Not that I know of.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:51

But wait a minute. I’m told that if you’re white, you get all these special things.

SPEAKER 03 : 10:55

Yeah, I don’t. They only see the non-white half of me, apparently.

SPEAKER 04 : 11:02

You played football, right?

SPEAKER 03 : 11:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER 04 : 11:03

Were you a better football player because you were white? Half white?

SPEAKER 03 : 11:07

No, I don’t think so.

SPEAKER 04 : 11:10

It didn’t give you any kind of special superpower?

SPEAKER 03 : 11:13

No.

SPEAKER 04 : 11:13

I mean, I always thought that you played worse. Remember the Woody Harrelson movie, White Men Can’t Jump? That was huge when I was a kid. And I remember looking at that title thinking, I wonder if they can’t. Hollywood. Just saying. It’s true. Do you feel bad for her? Caitlin Clark?

SPEAKER 03 : 11:34

Do I feel bad for what she’s had to go through and all of that?

SPEAKER 04 : 11:37

Do you feel like she’s been browbeaten into this?

SPEAKER 03 : 11:39

I think so. I think so. She literally just wants to play basketball. She just wants to get along with everybody. She just wants to have fun. And everyone else is thrusting her in these directions and making her do these things. It just doesn’t seem, just like anybody who doesn’t do anything that comes naturally to them, it doesn’t look right. And it doesn’t feel right.

SPEAKER 04 : 12:02

Lorraine says that she feels like she’s saying this to make the other girls on the team feel better. Yeah.

SPEAKER 03 : 12:06

Probably, because she wants to get along with them.

SPEAKER 04 : 12:08

How lame are the chicks in this league? If you have to have this woman lie prostrate in front of the media to make you feel better, I’m going to say something mean. I’ve already said it once, but these women are… They are… I read lips.

SPEAKER 03 : 12:29

I didn’t know I was a lip reader until just now.

SPEAKER 04 : 12:31

It’s that white privilege. Uh… you would have been able to hear the voice in your head had you been full. I’m just saying that’s how it works, right? I, she, Lorraine says that she’s always lifted up her teammates, always been very humble. She’s always seems like she’s tried to ignore this, but that’s sort of notice. And this is how it is. And it doesn’t matter if it’s Caitlin Clark or whoever, this is why I’m like never been in need of the rage mob because they don’t care. She’s never going to be forgiven. She is the original sin of being born white. I mean, that’s how all of her critics and all these people around WNBA are acting like. Maybe if you bitches could play basketball a little bit better, then maybe she wouldn’t be getting all the attention. Maybe if y’all were half as talented as she was, then maybe, oh, I don’t know, maybe you would get more advertising dollars. Maybe you would get more sponsorships yourself. Instead of hating on her, all you women need to be thanking her for keeping eyes on the WNBA, which has been nothing more than a glorified welfare recipient of the NBA. And you all know it’s true, bitches. You know it’s true. I’m so tired of this stuff. They’re a bunch of bullies. Grown middle-aged women being bullies. Women who are in their 30s being bullies. At some point, you need to grow up. You do. Dana’s, people are going to be like, Dana, I don’t like your language. I am not Dora the Explorer, okay? You’re not sitting in church and this ain’t PBS. I do feel bad for her because she’s never had to navigate this. And I think that people who are trying to jump all over her need to slow their roll a little bit. I mean, I think the people who need most of the ire are the coaches and the league and her teammates. Those are the people that you need to be sharp with. Because I think she’s just trying to navigate and deal with it. And she didn’t come out and I think she, I mean, she seemed very hesitant when she was saying the stuff that she said. But if she thinks, though, that this kind of thing is going to make it to where they accept her and they celebrate her and they stop giving her grief. No. In fact, it’s going to double. Because if they see a bleed, then they’re going to come for more. That’s how it works.

SPEAKER 03 : 14:50

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.

SPEAKER 04 : 14:55

So the Guardian, which is the left. leaning POS over in Britain says that the college enrollment rate is falling at a concerning or the college enrollment levels dropping at a concerning rate. Fewer 18 year olds are enrolling, especially at four year schools. But the number of applications continues to grow. I think there needs to be a reworking of the college system entirely. I think it’s absolutely stupid. It’s a racket. I think that they try to charge you thousands of dollars to take stupid, idiotic humanities classes that do nothing to enrich one’s mind, further one’s education, or have anything to do with their major at all whatsoever. And I think that if any college receives any kind of federal money and they require these students to take these stupid courses as part of their… what their degree coursework, they should be penalized personally. I mean, honestly, it’s really as stupid. The way we run higher education is one of the dumbest aspects of this country. It really is. And thanks left. Thanks for doing that. Thanks for consolidating all of the tuition and the loans and driving up costs for everybody. Tokyo adopts a four day work week because they’re desperate that women have more kids. They do have a huge issue over there as it relates to their population size. Their population growth has been super slow. They said their fertility rate plummeted to a record low of 1.2 in 2023. super low fertility rate so they’re implementing a four-day work week for their employees beginning next year offering them three-day weekends and family-friendly options and they said that they have to do it to support families also you know it’s a cultural thing and an economic thing if you could have more families live comfortably on one income you would probably see more if you had lower taxation and less government spending you would probably see more able to make that choice. And I think that not just here in the United States, but I think that that goes for any country, anybody, because this is something that’s affecting everybody around the world. Here they go. Here they’re setting up the narrative. Telegraph, another left-leaning POS in Britain. America’s economy risks massive Trump slump. They’re setting Trump up. I told you this was going to happen. We both told you. Cain and I told you. We talked about this, Cain, what, for weeks. They’re going to do this. They said, here’s the first sentence. Donald Trump risks tipping the U.S. in a recession if he follows through with the promises made on the campaign trail. So for Republicans, here’s why Doge is going to have and we’ll talk more about this. Here’s why Doge is going to have its work cut out for them. If even if they were to suggest all of these cuts to Congress, Congress still has to vote to implement them. That’s number one. Number two. You see these headlines? That’s just the start of it. If you have Republicans actually commit to austerity and reduce government spending and lower taxes, they are going to hammer the GOP with headlines like these. Absolutely. They’re going to hammer them with these headlines. And look what happened in Greece when they just tried to implement austerity. People were riding in the streets. So, just saying. That’s something to think about. This… Study says regularly posting on social media may worsen mental health in adults. Oh, I completely agree with that. I completely agree with that.

SPEAKER 01 : 18:26

Have you guys heard of TransBlind?

SPEAKER 04 : 18:27

In fact, there’s most adults, I think, on social media. No, it is not a type of window blind. No. It’s a new alphabet flag. Trans-blind is a trans-abled identity where someone desires to physically lose sight from an eye or from both eyes or to a physical non-blind individual who internally feels or identifies as blind without necessarily desiring to become… Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER 03 : 18:57

Why?

SPEAKER 04 : 18:58

I would say it’s reality blind. Why do people… Why did they make a flag for people who can’t see?

SPEAKER 03 : 19:07

That doesn’t make sense, does it?

SPEAKER 04 : 19:10

I mean, that’s just the first obvious question. If it’s supposed to be trans blind, you’re appropriating blindness. Why would you make a flag that they can’t see? Like y’all didn’t even try to put Braille up in this. What in the world? That doesn’t make any sense, does it? There was a story that I found. Someone had shared. It’s from a few years ago. Speaking of trans blind, this woman identified as trans blind. And back then, and this was in 2015, they called it body integrity identity disorder. Now it’s just trans blind. What other people would call crazy. All right. You can put all these words and affix it to it. B is crazy. All right. 30-year-old woman in North Carolina. This is back in 2015. She had wanted to be blind since she was a little girl. So she poured drain cleaner in her eyes. Didn’t get medical attention and lost her vision. She is now almost completely blind. And she says that this is the way I was supposed to be born. And they write in the piece, and it’s Women’s Health Mag that has the story. They write in the piece that she… because she wanted to be blind and she says it’s the way I was supposed to be. They go, it’s insane. And she suffers from a condition called body integrity identity disorder. And it makes people that they’re supposed to be disabled. Like people who want to be paraplegic. That’s a thing. That’s a real thing. And so it’s trans something. So this is trans blind. I think they call it transabled or something or trans. I don’t know what they call it. It’s an actual thing. I went down the rabbit hole. It’s wild. So. What? I mean. I have no words, Kane.

SPEAKER 03 : 21:12

I don’t have many more than that.

SPEAKER 04 : 21:13

I don’t have any. I don’t even. I can’t even believe just. I mean, all they got to do. You don’t have to pour drain cleaner in your eyes. Can’t you just close your eyes?

SPEAKER 03 : 21:21

Close your eyes. You dummy. They sell those pirate patches, too. They sell pirate patches. You can get, not only for Halloween, but you can buy them at the medical store, too.

SPEAKER 04 : 21:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER 03 : 21:31

Get those eye patches.

SPEAKER 04 : 21:32

Get you an eye patch. It’s super simple.

SPEAKER 03 : 21:35

And then if you ever feel like later you want to reverse this trans-blind desire, you just take the patch off, and then you’re good.

SPEAKER 04 : 21:41

Why doesn’t anyone over at Cane, as you know, go, I’m a trans-billionaire? Right. I identify as a billionaire. Give me my money.

SPEAKER 03 : 21:48

Give me my plane.

SPEAKER 04 : 21:48

You’re hurting my mental health by not giving me a billion dollars.

SPEAKER 03 : 21:53

Where’s my FAA authorized takeoff on my private plane?

SPEAKER 04 : 21:56

Where’s my G6? Come on. I mean, you see what I’m saying? Just give me the money or it’s hurting my mental health. Why can’t I say that and make that happen? Why can’t any of you? I’m a trans billionaire. I’m saying that now. That’s official. I’m identifying as a billionaire. I need my money to affirm my…

SPEAKER 03 : 22:20

wealth i just think you’re dreaming small i’m a trans trillionaire and you you know whatever you’re doing it’s fine that’s what you want to do but wait does that mean that that’s a bigger identity box than mine yeah well what’s after trillionaire quadrillionaire yeah okay can i be that it can be that if you want to i mean you’re only doing it because i’m a trans no i really feel that way i really identify like that i feel like you’re doing it just because i became a trans trillionaire

SPEAKER 04 : 22:47

Yeah, but you just can’t become it. You’ve got to feel it.

SPEAKER 03 : 22:49

I feel it. I feel like you’re appropriating. I feel like I’m becoming it.

SPEAKER 04 : 22:52

But I feel like you’re appropriating, though. I don’t know.

SPEAKER 03 : 22:55

I’m not sure that’s how it’s going down.

SPEAKER 04 : 22:57

I love when people say that, too. When they’re like, I feel like that’s just them trying to soften the blow of bitchery. I really feel like, no, just say it. Just say it. You don’t feel like that. Obviously, that’s redundant because you’re saying an opinion. So you feel that way. You moron. Stop saying it. Shut up. Transblind. Just close your eyes. Put a headband on. Get one of them headbands on Amazon. Pull it over your face. It would probably be an improvement for some of them. Just pull it over your face. There’s this crazy invention that they made. I don’t know when they made it, Cain. But it’s really amazing. Real modern, right? I guess they don’t have them where these people come from. But it’s like a pillow shaped like sunglasses and it has a strap on it. And you can put it on your head over your eyes.

SPEAKER 03 : 23:59

Wow.

SPEAKER 04 : 24:00

Yeah. Some people use it when they sleep, you know, to get the… I take it on red eyes. It’s an amazing invention. These people should meet it.

SPEAKER 03 : 24:09

pretty common invention though, right?

SPEAKER 04 : 24:11

No, no, these people don’t know it exists. I mean, they’re willing to pour bleach in their damn eyes for crying out loud. They don’t know it exists. Clearly. How many flags are there? Hang on. I’m afraid to look at this.

SPEAKER 03 : 24:22

It’s unlimited, I’m sure, right? Just like the genders is unlimited, its flags are unlimited too, right?

SPEAKER 04 : 24:30

Oh, well, there’s just pride flags also. That’s like a whole thing. There’s like 72 gender flags. And I know that the Department of Defense had put out something a little bit ago where they had, what were they talking about? They were mentioned some kind of, like, it was like some kind of woke flag that they had. And they put it out. And I’m like, why is the DOD doing this? Like, you want to know why you have problems with recruitment? And all this other stuff. And they put out something for what was like a trans flag whatever day. I don’t even know. I don’t even know. But they said that there’s… I don’t know what a demiflux is or a gender puck. But these are things. 72 flags. There’s 72 flags. They said there are 72 different genders. That’s 70 more genders. I don’t even think that the people who say that they’re one of these genders know what the hell these flags are.

SPEAKER 03 : 25:32

No, but there’s not one person that could identify all of them and recognize them on site. Like, there’s so many.

SPEAKER 04 : 25:41

I mean, what is the point of it? And then everybody wants government. They want government preference. Oh, there’s mirror gender. Do you hear about this? What? So this sounds like a really bad superpower to have. You’re changing your gender type based on the people that are surrounding you. It’s like mystery men and completely lame powers that don’t serve anybody. Like the guy who can be invisible, but only when no one’s looking.

SPEAKER 03 : 26:09

It’s like a gender chameleon.

SPEAKER 04 : 26:11

Yeah, you can change your gender type based on the people around you.

SPEAKER 03 : 26:16

So if I’m next to a woman, I can identify as a woman? Yeah. And if I’m next to a guy, then I can then identify as a guy?

SPEAKER 04 : 26:23

Yeah. That’s stupid. I don’t know about the magic that makes you morph for frankenbeans or not, or have it demorph. Is that a word? Because it can be. I mean, hell, if they can create a flag, I can make up words. Why not? Everyone’s Lewis Carroll today. I don’t understand some of this stuff. Some of it, I don’t know. What’s going to happen in the future when people look back? When we look back on people in the dark ages, what are they going to think when they look back on us? These people couldn’t even figure out their genders. Look at all their flags. Everybody has to have a flag. You could not tell me. All the people who advocate this, they could not tell me what all these flags stand for. 72 different ones. This is dumb.
