SPEAKER 05 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sorry. I’m not laughing, but this guy, his photos. It’s a Florida man. He had a Florida man with meth in underwear. Tells deputy, there’s nothing wrong with drugs. The guy, Thomas Carpenter, was arrested during a traffic stop. He had already served a three-year prison sentence. He was charged with trafficking meth, possession of enough drugs to sell or deliver. They got two counts, possession of blah, blah, blah, prescription, all kinds of stuff. Anyway, so he was pulled over. He had drugs and kids in a car. And he got pulled over and told police, oh, I just smoked some pot. He had a lot more than pot. Lots more than pot. According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, the 41-year-old, oh my gosh, he is not 41. They said they tried to talk to him, but he kept falling in and out of sleep mid conversation. They pull him over for a traffic violation and he kept falling asleep. He told deputies that he and his female passenger accidentally smoked too much pot before they were pulled over. His guy’s 41. Juan showing you his. Is it the tattoos maybe that make him look older? I don’t know. I can’t believe he’s 41. That dude looks like he’s 60. Look how gaunt he is. Well, that’s the meth will do it. Little meth will do it. So they said that neither he nor his passenger had a medical marijuana card. Sure. Two kids in the car at the time. And they found all kinds of stuff, meth, stuff to like distribute meth, things like that. So they’re all in jail. That’s all you need to know. But I can’t believe that guy’s 41 years old. I’m sorry. I’m calling shenanigans on that. I love how we have Tentman Florida Man. Tentman. Okay. Yeah, Tentman. His camping supplies include… Oh, is that meth? What it looks like in crystal form? I’ve actually never seen it. Look at that. It looks like somebody went in a spelunking in a cave and took out some stones. They look like moon rocks. I have no idea why that fascinates me. Tentman’s camping supplies include over $2,000 in cash meth and THC gummies. Oh, okay. And he apparently has not a shirt amongst him. He was selling meth from a tent behind a discount store in Fort Pierce.
SPEAKER 05 :
As one does.
SPEAKER 02 :
As one would do. His last name is Hedy. Daniel Hedy with two Ds, of course it is. He was found by his tent shirtless sitting on a Home Depot bucket behind the DQ in a tent selling meth. That works. Yeah, I believe that. Also with no shoes. I love how they just keep adding onto it. They got a search warrant for his tent. I did not know that you had to get him for a tent. I mean, I knew for like a glove compartment. You know, my glove compartment’s locked, so there’s a trunk in the back. I know my rights, so you’re going to need a warrant for that. Okay, so they had to get a warrant for his tent. And that’s where they found all this stuff. They found meth, and they found… Is it illegal to have the gummies? Oh, wait, those are the acid gummies. No, that’s not right. All the pot people are going to die. The THC thingies.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t even know the terms. I think it’s only legal medicinally in Florida, right?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t know. I thought it was just like the CBD thing. Okay, so this is the stuff that gets you high. And then he had drug paraphernalia. I don’t know. So he’s in jail and his bond is set at a whole $51,000. I love that he was in a tent behind a DQ, shirtless, shoeless, sitting on a Home Depot bucket selling that. There you go. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs research, the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It’s stuff like this that’s made me take action and why I’ve bought precious metals like gold and silver. I’ve partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy. Easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They’re a huge supporter of this show, and they’re the best at what they do. And right now, you can get a free 2025 gold and silver kit jam-packed with critical information about buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not just for me, but to all of you if you do this. And for my audience, you could also qualify for up to a 10% instant match in bonus silver. It’s a really great deal, so don’t miss out. Visit danalikesgold.com to learn more. That’s danalikesgold.com. Now, I first told you before everybody else yesterday that Jasmine Crockett, when she was making all of, you know, because she’s she’s clapped back. I hate this phrase. I’m saying it because that’s how the headlines are. Oh, she’s clapping back. Democrat Princess Jasmine Crockett. We first we’re the first ones to tell you yesterday that she has a history of this. She has a history. So I’ve had someone ask me, well, you know, she’s just making a joke. So don’t you think that, you know, aren’t conservatives getting a little sensitive? I think that you need to redefine what you think a joke is. These people who use this excuse, if that’s your measure of humor, you suck. Like as a human, you’re horrible and I never want to be around you. If you think that that kind of stuff counts as a joke, then you’re too dumb to talk to. And I hope that someone out there is offended and turns me off because my gosh, I don’t want any association with any brain matter that practices such stupid logic. I mean, seriously, there did you see some of them yesterday, Kane? Some people supposedly on our side like, oh, well, there would be one thing if she had said this like one time and was making not a joke that like to purposely jab at him. But if it was just you guys understand the context, I don’t. It’s very difficult to explain the abstract to stupid people like the ones who defend this as humor. It’s not humor because it’s not funny. That’s like saying SNL is funny. People who say this is humorous, those people are murdered comedy. They’ve murdered humor. They’ve murdered intellect. They’ve murdered smart discourse. She has repeatedly done this. She has tweet after tweet after tweet. She has reposted numerous tweets. She has liked numerous tweets. I mean, multiple years ago. Of making fun of Greg Abbott for not able for him not, you know, heaven forbid, it’s all his fault. Right. A tree fell on him and broke his back when he was 26 years old. He was not able to walk anymore. He had to rely upon a wheelchair. And that’s where that’s why he’s in a wheelchair today. She has been making fun of him for this for a long time. So I think people I get really mad when I see people say, well, isn’t that it’s not actually the same thing because she’s doing it on purpose designed to make a jab at him specifically because of his inability to walk. Now, again, and I’m going to say this one last time because these people have enraged me. I get that these people are stupid and they have to be baby walked into this explanation. And I know don’t waste your time. Let me do it for you because you have busier things and more important things to attend to. But it’s not a joke. And again, she’s done this repeatedly, as we were the first people to tell you yesterday afternoon. She’s done this quite a lot. Not only that, but can she stop pretending that she’s ghetto? She’s not ghetto. That’s like Trump going out pretending that he’s a redneck. She’s not ghetto. OK. If you send me hate mail, I will print it out and run it over with my Segway. And then I’m going to take it to the range and blow holes in it with some birdshot. Promise you. She acts like she’s like a street queen. Again, I made mention of this last night. If you sign up to the newsletter of her chapter and verse, you have the full story. I grew up in St. Louis. Missouri is my home state. And… She and I are about the same age, which shocks me because she seems way more immature. She went to school and is from an area that is very affluent. Jasmine Crockett grew up way the hell richer than I or Kane or most of you could imagine. She attended the most elite, exclusive expensive school that you could go to in the whole state of Missouri. It’s Mary Institute in St. Louis, Country Day School in St. Louis, just colloquially, M-I-C-D-S. And it is a school where, I mean, every politician’s kids went there. Politicians’ kids went there. Business owners, CEOs, all their kids went to MICDS. Famous people, their kids went to MICDS. The athletes, they went to MICDS. My very first job as a lowly reporter was to do a profile piece on an up-and-coming performer in St. Louis for a magazine, and this performer had attended MICDS. And they were doing an event at their school, their alma mater. And they had it was like, you know, they not a field trip. What am I thinking of, Kane? Like they had an expo or something at the school where this performer was answering questions and all of this. Thank you. Assembly. Yeah. When everybody gets into the gym. Dude, have you ever been in my CDS? Now, Kane’s from St. Louis, too. You know, in my CDS very well. Have you ever been into that school? Dude, dude. Everything is top notch. It is less like a school and it honestly seemed like a resort when I went in. I’m not even going to talk about like the food court cafeteria thing. I’m not even going to touch on that. The. area where we had this assembly I have never been in like a theater like they had their own theater then they had their own state-of-the-art gym they had all of this stuff they had like super plush cushy bougie seats and their theater was just a really it smelled like money when you walked in and I drove up in my beat-up car and I’m doing you know this profile it was what 22 years old doing this profile on this performer and And, oh my gosh, this school was so bougie. This school is pretty much the equivalent for tuition. I think it’s… I mean, it’s like a college, you know, just give me let me see. You had all the John Danforth went there. So John Danforth was an M.I.C.D.S. grad. Right. Everybody knows John Danforth. He was a senator. Pete Wilson, who was the senator, governor of California. Pete Wilson went to M.I.C.D.S. Do you guys remember the McCluskey dude who was out in his front yard with his gun? He was an MICDS grad. And he lived in that big old fancy house there in downtown. Joe Buck went to MICDS. The famed broadcaster went to MICDS. Vincent Price. Everyone knows Vincent Price, right? One of the greatest ever. He went to MICDS. Yeah. This is their who’s who. All of these people. T.S. Eliot went to MICDS. You also had, I’m trying to think of some of the other people. I mean, everybody who was everybody went to MICDS. Republicans, Democrats, Communists, Socialists. It didn’t matter. Everybody went to MICDS. Betty Grable. She didn’t graduate, though. But she went to MICDS. Everybody went there. All these, like the CEO of Sotheby’s went to MICDS. So you kind of get an idea. MICDS also, and I’m not running down the school. I’m just letting you know perspective here. Because I think if you’re going to cosplay ghetto, then let’s like look at the full story. Because that’s part of her identity, right? Like Poop Booty Juice being gay and having a baby is all his identity. He can’t do anything without reminding you that he’s gay. Just do the damn job. But, you know, we don’t live in that world anymore. But this school also in St. Louis, they had… Do they still call it the Veiled Prophet Ball?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, the VP Fair.
SPEAKER 02 :
So way back when, yeah, they used to have the VP Fair. And that was the big 4th of July thing that they had in downtown St. Louis. And it was called the VP for Veiled Prophet. Well, Cain, the prophet… I don’t know. I… I’d make a joke about it, but people will get upset because, you know, the people who say that conservatives take things too literally. If I made a joke about somebody being in a hood, the left would lose their minds like they’ve done before. But I’m just going to say the veiled prophet. And I’ve written stories on this kind of looked a little clansy. I’m not saying it was on purpose or that they I’m just saying it was, you know, this that all of this. I’m going to bring this tugboat to shore. All of this got started back when they had strikes in the day, the railroads in the east side, all that stuff. And they had this big thing, bread and circus. Right. That’s how this whole thing came to be. Anyway, they would have all these debutantes. There was one chick who was on the office or was on the office or somebody, an actress who was a debutante in the VP ball. And they found out and she got in a lot of trouble because of the history of the VP thing. So that’s where all the debutantes, the socialites of St. Louis get together. If you actually look at where all those people go to school, like everybody goes to either John Burroughs or MICDS. Those are the, you know, John Burroughs is like number two. MICDS is one. So this is where Jasmine Crockett grew up. She grew up in the lap of privilege. She went to and graduated from MICDS. She was at Rosati Kane for a while, but she graduated from MICDS. So she never, she wasn’t in public education. She lived in the nicest parts of town. She went to the nicest schools. I couldn’t even afford to even look around except as a job at MICDS. So Jasmine Crockett, the only piece she knows is privilege, not poverty. The only streets Jasmine Crockett knows are the streets that she drove through to get to her country day school. That’s it. So stop acting, stop cosplaying like you’re street. That’s such a racist and bigoted view of your voting bloc. And I’m not the only person saying this. There are a lot of black moderates and black conservatives and everyone is like, why is she why is she like cussing and acting like she’s going to fight everybody now? Is that what she thinks her voting bloc wants and her voting bloc? By the way, I hope if you are a black politician, you think that you’re representing more than just black Americans. You’re representing black and white Americans, you know, not your your your district of the elected seat in which you hold is more than just that. But this idea that she’s, I think if you’re going to represent yourself like that, you need to be authentic. Stop transing up your identity. Now, she has no excuse for this behavior. But she is trying to throw elbows because she wants a seat at the table of this attention economy. This is what politics have devolved to. And the right is no stranger to it. Just the left invented it. They’re throwing elbows trying to get some of this attention economy. I don’t know what all this is going to look like in four years because I just don’t know how much lower you can go. We are already ridiculous. Where’s the bottom? Is there a bottom with us? I don’t know. But this idea that Democrats have, I don’t want to dissuade them because I think it works in our favor. Their voting base believes that they’re still the same voting base that they were 10 years ago, where most moderate Democrats would turn their heads and look the other way when their base. Well, it wasn’t even their base at that time. They were just like on the outside. They were on the periphery. Now they are the base because Democrats never had the brass to stand up to them. But I think that they still believe that they have the numbers. They don’t. They are more unpopular than at any point in American history. I don’t know how far back they measure this. I would think being that they were the ones who backed slavery, that would probably be where they’re most unpopular. I’m not sure. It’s our friends over at Caltech, a great Florida-based company, and they have some new things out, including the new, very popular, very excited to shoot it. It’s their new… chambered in 5.7. It’s the PR57 rotary barrel pistol, and it’s the lightest one on the market, 40% lighter than the next lightest 5.7. The innovative rotary barrel makes it the lightest, and they also… achieve this with a very unique top loading design. So you can, the left always says, oh, clips, they got a clip. Well, you can say that with this because they replaced the traditional mags with stripper clips. Slimmer carry profile, 20 plus one capacity. Great. I mean, super low recoil for ease of use, accuracy, quickest field strip available. Super easy field strip. MSRP is $399. So it’s affordable and accessible for everybody. It’s the first of its kind.

SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
Captain declares an emergency after a passenger keeps flicking a lighter. This was from Kansas City to Phoenix. How did they get it on board? How do you get a lighter on board? Excuse me. You can’t take a lighter on board.
SPEAKER 06 :
Actually, the last time we went to Vegas, I saw the person in front of me had it in their carry-on. Really? You can take a lighter on carry-on. BS. No, it was in plain view of TSA.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on. We’re stopping right here. Can you take a lighter on carry-on?
SPEAKER 06 :
That was when I was in Texas heading to Vegas.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, yes, you can. You’re allowed one lighter in your carry-on bag. It has to be a disposable or a Zippo-style lighter without fuel. Oh. Without fuel.
SPEAKER 06 :
Who brings a lighter without fuel? All right.
SPEAKER 02 :
The lighter has… So, yeah, they said that you can refuel it after security.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, not everybody’s doing that.
SPEAKER 02 :
Not before. Okay, so I’m just, because I can’t have anything over 3 point whatever, 4 ounces for hand lotion, but somebody can bring a stupid lighter on board. Anyway, so this guy, he’s flicking his lighter on and off, and the pilot’s like, this is your last chance. I’m going to divert this aircraft if you don’t stop. And people are wondering, you know, you just can’t make fire when you’re on the plane.
SPEAKER 06 :
He’s totally smoking on the damn plane.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I mean, I just feel and there’s a woman who tried in a separate one. She tried one showing you right now. She literally was trying to smoke on the plane and she burned the seat cover with a lighter. How do these people again? They literally confiscated my mic stand because they said it was a weapon. My microphone stand and they tried to once confiscate my son’s protractor because they said it looked sharp. But these people can take lighters on? Jiminy Christmas. I can’t even with these people. That’s so stupid. All right, we got more. Let’s see. Homeowners are demanding $10,000 from HOA as the dues are spent accidentally paying someone else’s bills, and it went on for years and years. I think HOAs are insane. And I think some of them out-extend their purpose. It’s in Charlotte, North Carolina. They took a look at their HOA’s finances and found that they were actually paying for people’s bills, like water bills, utilities, things like that. And the whole neighborhood suffered. So they filed suit. Always check this stuff. Always check this stuff. We have a lot more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour and a lot still to discuss. Stick with us.
SPEAKER 04 :
Now she says she feels targeted. Damaging a personal vehicle does not affect Elon. If anything, it’s giving him more money to fix the vehicle that you damaged. It’s not damaging who you’re thinking it is.
SPEAKER 03 :
Just before 6 p.m. on Thursday, Abigail Gill and her family were seated for dinner at Olive Garden. Over an hour later, they left, and what they found waiting for them was shocking. Quite a lot of damage.
SPEAKER 04 :
He keyed this side as well, which as you can see this side, it even looks like it affected above the tire. This is a lot more damage.
SPEAKER 02 :
So a disabled woman had her car. I’m surprised Jasmine Crockett didn’t pop up to make fun of her. A disabled woman had her car vandalized because her car is a Tesla. That’s what’s happening now. She’s eating, having a nice meal at Olive Garden. comes out and her car is busted up, scratched up, all of that because someone didn’t like the fact that she had a Tesla. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Do you realize, too, that when this story first posted, do you know what some of the comments were from the left? They were making fun of her for eating at Olive Garden. Hold up. Aren’t y’all bitching about the cost of eggs? Yep. And they’re making fun of her because she’s eating an Olive Garden. Is Olive Garden not good for you Marxists? I thought you guys, I thought you all were part of the proles, right? You’re the proletariat. You’re all down with the little people. She’s eating at Olive Garden. What the hell’s wrong with Olive Garden? I want one of you Marxist snobs to tell me what’s wrong with Olive Garden. They got good salads. I mean, not everybody lives, you know, like by the hill in St. Louis. Sorry. Not everybody lives near Trastevere. I mean, you know, sometimes that might be the only Italian they can get. What’s wrong with an Olive Garden? Nothing. You go and you get a nice meal and it’s reasonably priced. These Marxist snobs are like, can you believe it? That was the first hands to sky. Those were some of the first responses that I saw when people were reacting to this story. The people on the left were mocking her because she was eating an Olive Garden. Oh, Juan’s going off about that fettuccine Alfredo that they got at Olive Garden. It’s the real deal, man. That’s a creamy sauce. It’s delicious. It’s been a minute since I’ve eaten there, but I always like Olive Garden. We had them. I feel like there’s fewer ones down here in Texas than there are in Missouri, Cain.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think that’s accurate.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. Because I felt like there was an Olive Garden in every city, in every sub-city in St. Louis, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
The salad… Along with the bread is unlimited.
SPEAKER 02 :
Unlimited stick. Unlimited. It’s good. So I don’t know why people are getting mad. So she’s eating an Olive Garden, these snots. I just got really mad about that. They’ve got some good stuff. They’ve got some decent wines, too. You know, I mean, have you a red sauce? Get you a cab? You know, have an infinite stick and some salad?
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know about you, but when I’m there, I feel like family.
SPEAKER 02 :
Do you feel like family?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, when I’m there.
SPEAKER 02 :
So weird. I do as well. Isn’t that something? Amazing. Hmm. Yeah, it’s… I don’t know why people get all upset about that. Like, oh, you’re… But that was the first… I mean, I’m not… I mean, like, the first handful of comments when I first saw that posted. So right off the bat, there’s your glaring difference between the right and the left. The left, which is trying so hard to make a play for the blue-collar voter… But then they’re going to make fun of a disabled woman because she’s eating at an Olive Garden and came out and found her Tesla vandalized because she has a Tesla. And they’re making fun of her, not just because her Tesla got there. I mean, I mean, again, Jasmine Crockett’s going to pop up any second, laugh at her. But then they’re like, oh, you’re eating. So they immediately discounted the transgression done to her. Because, and Cain, correct me if I’m wrong, nowhere in the full story does she say, oh, I’m a Republican or I’m a conservative.
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 02 :
She didn’t even talk about it. Nobody knows what she is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Nope. No stickers on the car.
SPEAKER 02 :
No. Yeah, nothing. They’re just like, Tesla, you must be a Nazi. And they immediately, and then they scratch her car up before ironically getting into their Volkswagen and driving off to their eagle’s nest. I mean, I’ve got questions.
SPEAKER 06 :
No one’s accused them of being deep thinkers.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, but they want that blue-collar voter, though. Yeah. But not that one, apparently. You know how many blue-collar people got Teslas? A lot of blue-collar people got Teslas. I mean, everybody that I know who’s blue collar, including a couple of family members, and they’re on the left. I mean, I know people on the left, on the right, and in the middle that own Teslas. The people that bought them initially, they’re like big time. I think they were the most enthusiastic members of that base. Does that make sense? They love EVs and they really do think that that’s where cars are going, right? then those were the early adopters then i think you had the people that loved gadgets and they love the idea of something going that fast that you know that fast that quickly and then you got the people i think there’s sure there are people out there the bottom because they you know they thought you know they liked elon musk and they wanted to support i’m considering buying one literally so i can get into a fight not for any of the other reasons so i don’t know i i just um I think that they’re going to have a lot of problems if this stuff keeps happening.
