SPEAKER 06 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 05 :
A Florida man, 68 years old, chased a bunch of juveniles at Walmart with a fillet knife, according to a report. Thomas Edward Ohl was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, deadly weapon without intent to kill, and two counts of child abuse without great bodily harm. He said that they bumped into him and made fun of his voice box. So he thought, I’ll show them that it’s mean to make fun of people by chasing them with a fillet knife. I’m pretty sure that that’s, yes, should the kids have been raised better? Yeah, but Kane, they were very particular. I was surprised it’s not a machete. It’s the first time it wasn’t a machete. It was a fillet knife.
SPEAKER 06 :
Much smaller and probably sharper.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. So they were apparently making fun of his voice box. And so he was very upset about that and chased them with a fillet knife, which you never should never obviously do. Let’s see. A Sarasota couple. This is awful. They were accused of child neglect and they were on dope and caught drinking beer under a tent. Were they homeless or just like pretending to be? I’m sorry. The word for that is called camping. They said they found crystal Kate’s. That’s her… I’m sorry. That’s her name. That sounds like a strip club. It sounds like a review of strippers, literally like the Rockettes, but it’s the Crystal Kates, and they’re all named Kate, and they’re all in lucite heels with goldfish in them. That’s what it sounds like, and the fish are just shaking to death as they kick. I don’t know where this is going, but you know what I mean. Crystal Kates, right? Seriously. Torrance Bulls, 37 and 50. They were sitting under a tent drinking beer without a kid in sight, and then they… The police, that’s where they found them. Their kid was left home and was in danger, apparently. The conditions of the home and child were severe enough to remove the child and place her with a family member in Manatee County. But yeah, they said that they were on drugs, just drinking beer under a tent. And when you see pictures of the house that they lived in, the tent might actually be better because it was disgusting and full of feces and nastiness and horrible. The child’s hair was matted with debris and food. She was wearing a diaper that was so soiled it was about to tear from the weight. and was unable to speak uh they said that it was oh my gosh a really really bad place for a kid to be so the tent was probably better in that case that’s horrible that’s there’s no excuse for it let’s see this uh a wrong way driver sideswipes tampa police on the i-4 and then she tries to say that her husband did it except her husband wasn’t in the car Wrong way driver. It was 2.30 in the morning. Headed in the wrong way on the eastbound lanes. She sideswiped someone. Tampa police tried to stop her. Kristen Biel, 24. She refused to pull over. And then she tried telling them when they finally got her. Oh, no, it was… They go, do you realize you were going the wrong way on the interstate? And she goes, on this interstate? No. not i’m reading it this car are you serious and then they were they were like yeah we’re totally serious they they go what do you mean you were literally driving home and she goes no he’s driving us home and they go who and she’s like my husband and they’re like where is he because he’s not here he wasn’t driving the car so she was arrested charged with ui aggravating fleeing to elude and fleeing to elude at high speed and she was taken to jail promptly to jail she didn’t get to pasco A Florida man and his roommate got into a fight over trash, and then the Florida man said he was going to shoot him with a crossbow over it. Key Largo. He said he was trying to shoot his roommate in the head with a crossbow. The roommate found a bottle of vodka in the trash. And then the suspect then after that thought that, well, the only way to resolve this is with a crossbow. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office were called to the house. It was about six in the morning. They made contact. They’re all like in their 60s. The victim was 69 years old. He was lying in the front yard bleeding from his face. They found all these arrows laying near him. The victim said the guy lured him to the property and then tried to kill him by getting him with an arrow. Like, I can’t, I have no, clearly the guy was taken into custody. This is crazy. This was supposed to be the bright spot in the day. Stick with us. We got a lot more in store. So apparently we have to stop falling for the whole higher thread counting because it doesn’t necessarily mean better sheets. That’s fake news apparently. It’s like believing that you use like 10% of your brain. So the secret isn’t thread count. It’s thread quality. And this is where Bull & Branch has won a lot of folks over at yours truly. They use the best organic cotton. End of. I mean these are sheets that feel incredible like the moment you take them out of the box. So the first night that you put them on, you can tell right away that they’re softer, they’re cooler, and they have a great weight. It’s like kind of having a five-star hotel room in your own house. And I’ll tell you something else. The sheets get better every time that you’ve washed them. I’ve washed mine countless times and they just keep getting softer. You can’t do that with cheap sheets because they totally fall apart. Bowl and branch, they get more luxurious. So you’ll sleep better and you’re kind of kind of feel like a spoiled brat, but it’s okay. I’m not going to go back to the old sheets. Once you try them, you’re not going to either.

SPEAKER 04 :
Political violence erupts again as conservative activist Charlie Kirk is murdered while speaking on a college campus. How do we fix this evil insanity? The media get mad at the right for pointing out they completely ignored a grisly murder because it doesn’t fit their narrative. And a sitting U.S. senator really thinks our rights come from the government.

SPEAKER 05 :
Switching this to this USA Cycling event. A woman’s sports activist was berated by a man at this cycling event because she was asking questions about a dude being on the women’s team. And this was a California woman named Beth Bourne. And she was berated by organizers at this USA Cycling event. She had asked whether or not the competitors had actually been tested to make sure that, you know, for their sex at birth. Listen to this. This is 20. Hi, kids. You guys, will there be any testing to see if they’re all women in this race? Hey, we have policies in place. Oh, sorry. You can stop filming. Give me my phone! Do not film me. Judy! Judy! Judy! You do not touch me! Do not! Why is she doing the Hitler salute? Yeah. Why is she doing the Nazi salute? That lady, she just started Nazi saluting. She can’t help it. She’s, you know, it’s trans Tifa. They can’t help it. They’re just like Nazi salute. So this she simply asked a question and she had every right to ask it, because if you remember, the USA cycling team has a man on the team, on the women’s team and a man on the women’s team who was celebrating the execution of Kirk. Right. There was another video out there. I think I put in Slack like yesterday or the day before that was very similar. There was a woman who was simply holding a sign talking about women and men or women and men and women sports. And she was had her sign taken and was berated by this man who decided to get in her face. And, of course, he was a trans activist. And I’m like, that’s just that just so perfectly encapsulates encapsulates. everything with the progressive patriarchy. It’s just a reason for dudes to go out and abuse women and then they fall back on, but I’m dressing like a woman so I get female protections, right? I mean, think about it. That’s a pretty neat trick. Oh, wait a minute. How can we beat women and get away with it? We’ll pretend we’re women. Neat trick, huh? So you can go ahead and cut that one. That one can go up too. It’s because it’s true. Think about it. You’re going to go beat up a woman. And you wouldn’t get away with it. I’ll just identify as a woman then. Oh, but now I’m a special protected class. I am more specialer than you, woman. I am a man who wants to be a woman. I’m a specialer. Now move over. I’ve got to pee. Yeah. Now call me ma’am. That’s… He reminds me of Katie Ter’s dad when he had that dust up with Ben Shapiro on stage. Or no, they weren’t on stage. They were on somebody’s show. I can’t remember. And Katie Ter’s dad, I think his name is Zoe. He’s a piece of work, too. Ben didn’t call him ma’am. And he was like, he literally leaned over and was like, you’re going to go home in an ambulance. And Ben being, you know, the lovable dork that he is was like, well, that’s not where an ambulance takes you. An ambulance takes you to the hospital. It doesn’t take you home. He just sat there staring at him. He wasn’t processing that he was about, that this large man was trying to kick his ass for not calling him ma’am and affirming his fantasy. He was just trying to figure out the illogical thing that he said. Like, wait a minute, that doesn’t compute. The ambulance is supposed to take you to the hospital, not home. But that’s, they’ve always been, they’re always violent. I’ve only met one, maybe two trans people that weren’t nuts. No pun intended. I mean, they had them, but they weren’t that, you know. Tina, you’re so mean. You had the moderate one. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Now, with that, I wanted to play this for you. Audio is done by 21. An immigrant in the UK, I don’t know if he’s legal or not, but a Muslim immigrant in the UK is very angry because he thought that he could just park his car on the sidewalk. I don’t know if he’s from Pakistan or wherever he’s from. You can just park your car wherever the hell you feel like getting out. Like, I’m done driving now. I’m just going to stop and park. Leave my car here. Well, he got in trouble. And because he was expected to follow the law like everyone else in the UK was, that was racism. Audio sound by 21. I can’t.
SPEAKER 07 :
NSL Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton 315. Okay. So they told you to come here during the prayer times, right? I’m coming here by myself. Oh, by yourself. Oh, so is it you who hating Muslims prayer time, right? Do you have some problem with my religion? Do you have a problem with like parking on sidewalk? What are you doing here just at this time?
SPEAKER 05 :
You can’t park like that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I understand it. But why are you not here every day? Why didn’t you love your God enough to show up early enough to park properly? Am I abusing him? Hello, brothers. Am I abusing him?
SPEAKER 05 :
I would not. I just would not even be dealing with this. I’d be like, look, you should have loved your God enough to get here early enough so that you had time to park your stupid car. It’s not my fault if you didn’t love your God enough to do that. And you’re just pretending right now for the cameras. You absolute P.O.S. It’s not my problem. And then just ended it. Not even. He got mad because he had to hurry up and park his car on the sidewalk, which you can’t do. Shocker. You can’t do that in the UK either, right? Imagine you’re going to church. Let’s put this in a different perspective. Imagine you’re going to church, right? I don’t even know if this guy was late for church or not. I’m just assuming. But you’re like, I’m just done driving. I’m just going to park. right here on the sidewalk by the church it’s in a park on the sidewalk you get off on right here well you can’t do that obviously uh so if you were to get ticketed what would your response be would you say oh i came from a back hole hellhole country that just parks their cars if they have them wherever you know i didn’t know i couldn’t park here i’m like barely civilized would that be your response would it be oh i’m so sorry i’m just an i’m just whole i just you know I just parked my car here because I’m a jerk. Or would it be, why are you a racist? Why did you choose to come here during religious times? It’s our time for worship. Why did you come here? Well, because the car was there on the road at that time. That’s why. It just, because it coincided with the time that you worship is completely irrelevant. Do you see the manner in which I just, I can’t even. Now, Dearborn, the mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hammond, he told a Christian resident, you do not belong in the city. Get out and you’re not welcome here. This is audio sound by 22. This is a mayor, an elected official. Watch.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in Beirut, including many Americans. So I just feel it’s quite inappropriate.
SPEAKER 12 :
You are an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because you are not somebody who believes… Well, at least he’s not chopping his head off or anything, you know. So that’s some evolution, I guess. You could tell he wanted to, though. His voice was saying one thing, but the tenor of his voice was saying something different. He was about to Allahu Akbar on him. He was. He was. That’s just an ignorant thing to say. Like, well, even though you live here, I’m going to have a parade when you leave. Are you? Like, what is your damage? Like, what is your damage? This guy is mayor. This is, again, this is in Dearborn, Abdullah Hammond. And the guy, what did the guy say that was so offensive? Truth? He didn’t say anything that was wrong. Hezbollah did carry out bombing raids. They absolutely did. Yes, they did absolutely kill Americans. Yes, they absolutely are backed by Iran. Yes, they are absolutely balls to the walnuts. Yes, they’re evil terrorists. There is literally no there’s there’s no debate here. It’s like saying, well, is Satan bad? So offensive. I’m going to throw a parade when you leave. What in the world? What is happening here? This is the United States of America. Now, where can you imagine if a Baptist preacher, if a priest. had said this to someone. Imagine like your priest getting up there and going, yeah, well, you know, even though you live here, I’m going to celebrate when you leave. Can you imagine? What if it’s like an evangelical pastor who would say something like that? The left would be like, oh, separation of church and state. That’s all you would hear. Separation of church and state because they love saying that except when it involves someone that they’re afraid will cut their heads off. And then they’re like, oh, shh. Well, can’t talk about that whole. Be quiet. So they always act. No, they would. They didn’t say anything. They haven’t said anything. You have a sitting mayor who’s threatening a citizen for speaking truth. That’s that’s that’s absolutely insane. I can’t. And that’s happening in Dearborn, Michigan. In Dearborn, Michigan. Little Mogadishu. Just saying it’s colonialism. That’s colonization. What you saw in the UK, that that idea that we’re going to acute falsely accuse you of bigotry when we have to follow the law like everybody else. That’s colonization. And they are weaponizing this whole. This is why CRT is so dangerous. They’re weaponizing all of that Marxist claptrap as a way to as a tactic of doing it. It’s colonization. It’s an invasion without firing a shot. It’s brilliant, actually. But, I mean, kind of brilliant. It’s only brilliant in the fact that, wow, I can’t believe how brilliantly weak and cowardly so many Western leaders are that they don’t stand up to this type of stuff. You know what? The colonization of parts of Africa and parts of Europe, I don’t want to hear about European colonization anymore. Shut up. I don’t want to hear anything about it. Why don’t you talk about the Islamism? and radical colonization. Why not talk about some of that? Oh, because they’ll chop our heads off. Well, that’s my point. It is our friends over at Kel-Tec, the PR-57, rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5.7. It’s the lightest 5.7 that’s on the market, and they achieve this in a couple of different ways. The rotary barrel, number one, but also the unique top-loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips. So that… Gives you a slimmer carry profile and a 20 plus 1 capacity.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 05 :
Arizona. A woman was accused of hitting her boyfriend in the head with a hatchet while he was sleeping, and she smiled in her mugshot. Very big. Sorry, it was an Arizona press, but it was in North Dakota. She attempted to murder her boyfriend. She hit him in the head with a hatchet while he slept. She was arrested. Lina de Oliveira. When police arrived on the scene, the victim told officers he was alone. He had been attacked without warning. He was taken to the emergency room for treatment. And he said he was attacked by his girlfriend. They suspected that she was out of it. And then, anyway, they arrested her. And she’s charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. Her court date is in October. Oh, my gosh. Like, why are… Why are people insane? A small plane crash landed near a high school in Toronto. Oh, let me actually do this one. This is a USA Today. A man got attacked on his lawnmower by a bear. 72-year-old man in Arkansas. He was mowing his lawn. Vernon Patton, he was in hospice after he was attacked. And he was critically injured. He was on his tractor lawnmower in rural Franklin County. It is the first known bear attack in Arkansas in a quarter century. He was riding his tractor and his son found him being attacked by a yearling bear. It’s about 75, 70 pound black bear. A witness said the bear was in the process of attacking him when his son showed up, began throwing rocks at the animal. Game wardens responded to the scene. They had to fatally shoot the animal. And then they said he was moved to surgery for the day of the attack. But it was his injuries were so extensive, they said it was not survivable. And his son witnessed the whole thing. So they were the bear tested shockingly negative for rabies. and distemper. So they tested after after they they put down the bear. But that’s that is horrifying. Just horrifying. Golly. That is a determined animal if you’re on a tractor because he was actively mowing grass. So I don’t know. Let’s see this in Queens. Is there a cat that’s running for office? Apparently it’s New York. Yeah, it’s New York. Well, it’s a cane. It’s a giant So, makes sense. Better known as Leo the Cat. It’s going to replace term-limited moderate Democrat Robert Holden on a city council in Western Queens. Yeah?
SPEAKER 06 :
They’re not serious. These people can’t… They’re not serious.
SPEAKER 05 :
No. It’s Mr. Mingus… I don’t know what its name is. This cat, I don’t know how this has gotten this far. It only has 139 followers on Instagram. And they made these little posters where they have it all over. Leo Namush, they have it all over. That’s his name. All over the Western Queens. Okay, God help us all. I don’t know. They think it’s a joke, but it’s actually like people will vote for it. Being underweight might be deadlier than being overweight. I actually do think this. Because if you’re underweight and like if you’re, you know, as you get older, I just know a lot of like thin old people. That, you know, they fall. They don’t have anything to cushion that fall. They break bones. They get sick. They get flu. They don’t have a lot that can sustain them. Yeah, I think as I get older, I would rather. My grandma was always like, you got to pick your face or your body. And I’m like, I totally, I’d pick face because I’m just going to get. Everyone’s always like, what do you have done? I don’t have anything done. I just don’t wear hardly any makeup anymore except for my eyes. And everyone’s like, what did you do? Or I’ll cut my hair and they’ll say I got my extensions out. But my anti-aging plan is literally to get like fat. Not kidding. Think about it. It’s natural filler, like smooths everything out because I pick I’m not going to stop eating snacks. So I will pick face over body when I get like 80 years old. So I’m going to have a cushion. Right. So that solves that dilemma right there.
SPEAKER 10 :
We have seen an alleged murder. with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it, but also it was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect. A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning calling him my love, and I want to protect you, my love. So it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was speaking so lovingly about his partner. So very interesting, and as Pierre said, riveting press conference, David.
SPEAKER 05 :
It was riveting. It’s the new hallmark story of Romeo and Julius. It’s what the, it’s just, it was just absolutely, it was the duality. Because he tripled this reporter. He tripled, quadrupled down on all of this. And, oh man, it’s bad. It’s just bad. I saw this yesterday. When did this air? This aired, wasn’t like their news. It was like yesterday, yesterday late afternoon. It was like right at Matt Gutman on ABC. So it was like their, I want to say like their four o’clock, five o’clock news. And when I saw this in full honesty on social media, I didn’t, I didn’t believe that it was true because it was so bad because I saw the caption and the quote of what he said. And then I saw the screenshot of the video and I, and I went, because you know how sometimes you see things and you’re like, oh my gosh, satire. So I can’t even tell the difference. Oh my gosh, it was bad. Do we have the audio where he doubled down? Okay, go ahead and play this because if you thought that was bad, well, there’s more.
SPEAKER 10 :
It is. It’s heartbreaking on so many levels, Kira. Obviously, Charlie Kirk was murdered brutally in front of a crowd of thousands of people who watched him being shot through the neck and then essentially bleed out in front of him. And I think one of the things that the attorney here made a very fine point about is that a lot of these charges, seven charges, were aggravated because children were present. Children witnessed this. Children were put in harm’s way. And that was something that obviously is aggravating here. And that’s one of the reasons that the suspect, in addition to the alleged murder being political in nature, is facing the death penalty. They’re going for the death penalty. And on the other hand, there is this duality of a portrait of a very human person, a very human experience from this entire family, as you mentioned it. The mother. essentially discovered that it was her son who had done this, the kid who had got a 34 out of 36 on the ACTs, who had a 4.0, who got a full ride to college here, that that kid was the one allegedly perpetrated. She saw those pictures and said, identified him essentially.
SPEAKER 05 :
King.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t even. I don’t even.
SPEAKER 05 :
Trying really hard here. Trying very, very hard. He issued this groveling. I can’t tell you what I have it down on the rundown as. Really can’t, can I? You sure? He issued this groveling apology. And I’m still trying to figure out how in the world. I mean, it’s just so in that moment, that’s what you think of. He said that he deeply regrets describing text messages between Charlie Kirk’s murderer and his twink transgender partner is very touching. This is what he said. He said, quote, from his official account. Yesterday, I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk. a man who dedicated his life to public dialogue and the personal disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County attorney at the press conference. He adds, I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear, but let there be zero doubt here. I unequivocally condemn this horrific crime and the pain it caused Charlie Kirk’s family, those who were forced to witness it at UVU, and the millions of people he inspired. I deeply regret that you didn’t understand me. I deeply regret… I mean, there’s no… There is no… I don’t even know. I… I it’s like they were trying. It’s like they were describing the new Christmas movie on Hallmark, you know, because it’s going to at the moment it turned September. It’s like Hallmark brings out their Christmas like it’s time for Hallmark Christmas. And it’s almost like that’s what they were doing. Like it’s a killer and it’s Twinkie. It’s a killer and it’s Twinkie trans boyfriend and the duality of their love. Romeo and Julius, the next Hallmark Christmas movie. Yeah, I just don’t. Romeo and Julius go to a snow globe factory. It’s like, you know, I don’t know. That’s what it felt like, how they were trying to describe it. And there is no humanizing a monster. Just stop. There’s no humanizing any of this. Not a single bit. If you are a subscriber over at Substack, I had a piece that came out earlier, well, yesterday, for you subscribers. Because I was kind of writing about this issue. idea of you know i mean because i got a ton of headlines here like the more on this killer you know apparently he was telling i mean he was telling his twink boyfriend to uh delete all of their messages etc uh i mean it goes on and on and on but you know i was thinking about this and i wrote this piece because i thought you know really when you think about the story of harrison bergeron i don’t know how many people read it in school it’s a short story by kurt vonnegut It is exactly right now because it’s a short story that gets into how everybody has to handicap themselves so that everyone can be equal. Right. They said that. I mean, it starts out the year was twenty eighty one and everyone was finally equal and they weren’t only equal before God and the law, but they were equal in every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else ever. And nobody was better looking than anybody else. And nobody was stronger or quicker than anyone else. And that was all due to the equality brought about by the 211, 212, and 213 amendments. And the United States Handicapper General. And it gets into the characters. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. It was required by law to wear it at all times. And it had to be tuned to a government transmitter. And every 20 seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains. Except it happened a hell of a lot sooner. I mean, it happened sooner than 2081. It’s 2025 and we’re in it. But if I’m being honest, it predates 2008. And that’s the real part of it.
