SPEAKER 05 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
So when I first read that this Florida man had decorated his yard with the lamp from A Christmas Story, I thought, well, how big could it be? You’d be surprised. JP McCallick’s suburban Jacksonville, Florida home. It’s 20 feet tall. And it even includes a replica of Ralphie hugging the lamp wearing his pink bunny suit. Is it an inflatable? Because it really doesn’t even look like it’s an inflatable. But he goes, I like his response. He goes, quote, everyone’s decorating their houses. And I thought it’d be fun to have like a neighborhood competition. And so he just decided to put that up. He also, I mean, it’s crazy. He does not have what I would call traditional decorations. But that’s funny. So he’s got the giant leg lamp in his house. in his yard. I kind of like that though. I, I, I’ve been wanting to get a giant nativity and put in my yard, but I want a giant nativity, like a huge one. Some people in my household don’t share my vision. I mean, no, but you know, if it’s awkward, you know, I want like resin, right? We got to talk. We got to save this for later. Cause I got more. Hang on. I got more to get into. Um, Let’s see. Oh, my gosh. Listen to this. A Florida man says Delta Airlines burned his golf bag and clubs worth nearly $4,000. Oh, and it looks real bad, too. I’m looking at the destruction of it. He said that his golf bag was burned and everything was charred. I don’t even know how you burn because golf clubs are what are they? Metal? Aluminum? Yeah. He was this is in October. He was on a flight from Atlanta. He was waiting for his luggage at the Southwest Florida International Airport. And then he said when he saw it come around again, he goes, wait, oh, my gosh, those are our those are my clubs. The freight guy said that they dragged it and it wore through the protective covering, started to spark, and then it caught everything on fire. So he’s filed a claim with Delta. Delta initially denied the claim. And finally they said that they’re going to pay for it. But it was like for, I mean, and it looks bad. How do you drag them and then spark? That’s just negligence. That’s just laziness and negligence. I don’t know how else, how else you attribute that. Look, I just want to show you the photo. Look at that. That’s crazy. That’s, that’s what they look like. That’s insane. Oh my gosh. Oh, let’s see. Last but not least, a half-naked Florida man. I may have to share this tomorrow.

SPEAKER 06 :
You want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same? When they attempt to oppress us. I’m tired. We need some.
SPEAKER 02 :
So this is just one of the one of the examples of BLM now demanding that apparently, I guess, as some kind of payment for Daniel Penny being found not guilty that now he’s calling for a race war. He said, quote, people want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud. How about we do the same? We need some black vigilantes. First off, and again, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. That’s not how Jordan, that’s not what happened with the situation of Jordan Ely. Why are they lying about and omitting that he was threatening to kill people on that subway platform? Why is Hawk Newsome, who sounds like the name of a Jeremy Clarkson bear, why is he pretending that Jordan Neely wasn’t getting in the faces of women and their children and elderly people and anyone else on that subway platform and threatening to kill them and becoming more and more irate and getting closer and closer to them. That wasn’t just Jordan Neely being loud. And, uh, or asking for food. That was Jordan Neely, who by every black and white witness that was on that subway platform said, yes, he absolutely was threatening to kill people. That’s what they testified to. He was threatening to kill people. So Hawk Newsom believes that Jordan Neely should be free to kill people, punch elderly women in the face, shove women under train tracks and try to kidnap seven-year-olds because he’s black. That’s what Hawk Newsome believes. Hawk Newsome believes that if your skin color should determine whether or not you can just assault and threaten to murder people and maybe even murder people, why the hell not? He thinks that apparently that’s a right to a specific skin color in the United States, as though this would have happened any differently if Jordan Neely was white. Because Hawk Newsome is a thug racist. He’s an absolute racist. That’s why he is just I mean, that’s exactly what it is, what he is. That’s just like, good golly, it’s 2024. You think that Jordan Ely would have? What do you think? I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would think that if Jordan Ely were white, that would have been acceptable. Oh, did you hear that man who is threatening to murder people and he got in the face of the woman and she’s trying to protect her baby in a stroller and he’s threatening to kill her? Well, was he white? Yeah. Oh, that’s all right then. Really? Really? I mean, that says more about those people than it does about the people they’re making the assumption about. And now this claim that, well, he got killed because he asked for some food or he got killed just because he was loud. No, that’s not what happened at all. These people weren’t there. The witnesses who testified were. They’re rewriting this to try to make Jordan Neely some sort of hero, some sort of innocent. Daniel Penny was forced into the position that he was forced into. He was forced to use skills that he had learned as a veteran because of New York City. New York’s lawlessness and disorder forced him into this position. It forced the people on that subway to cower in fear. It allowed Jordan Neely to freely threaten people until the point at which somebody had to do something because someone was going to get hurt. Where is the concern of this family for the woman that Jordan Neely punched in the face and broke her nose, the elderly woman? Because he had a warrant out for his arrest, by the way, at the time of his death for that. What did she do to get her face punched in? I noticed that the family, all these grifters who just decide to just show up, they didn’t have a press conference for that woman. Can’t a woman ride a subway in New York without getting punched in the face? People want to jump up and punch elderly women? What did she do? Did she ask for food? Was she loud? Or what about the seven-year-old that Jordan Ely was on video trying to drag down an alley? What did that seven-year-old do? Where’s the family and all these grifting racist hustlers out there? Where are they all at? What did that seven-year-old do? Or what about the woman he tried shoving onto the train tracks? What did she do? I mean, how long do women have to take abuse from people like Jordan Neely before people grifting racist hustlers like wannabe Al Sharpton, Hawk Newsome, before they finally come to the realization that, OK, well, I guess, you know, I guess we’re even now. Who who allowed you to determine that these people and abusing these people was was the way to make yourself feel equal or validated? I mean, this was an issue of self-defense. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. I mean, when does Hulk Newsom not incite a riot? When does he go out there and try to not incite riots? Everybody wants to be the next Al Sharpton. We already had one Al Sharpton. We don’t need another. We don’t need another no good, doesn’t do anything for the community hustler. We don’t need anybody else like that. And that’s exactly what he is. He has provided nothing of value except he is a hustler. A race hustler. He doesn’t even offer product. Good night. Was this supposed to end differently if Jordan Ely was white? Would this have ended differently if Jordan Ely was white?
SPEAKER 05 :
No, I mean, as far as someone who’s done.
SPEAKER 02 :
I think he would have gotten his ass beaten sooner, honestly.
SPEAKER 05 :
Maybe.
SPEAKER 02 :
I really do think he would have.
SPEAKER 05 :
I do know the media would have definitely treated it differently.
SPEAKER 02 :
I think the only reason that Daniel Penny waited so long was because Jordan Ealy was black. Because everyone knows that you’ve got Hawk Newsoms out there who are going to blow this up. It’s so damn predictable. Good night. It’s so predictable. No, if Jordan Ealy was white, he would have gotten his ass beaten faster. And he probably would have gotten whooped. This was just Daniel Penny restraining a violent and with a violent record thug who apparently grifters feel should be given a pass because he’s black. And then this family that comes up. Man, now you know why Jordan Ealy was the way he was. Look at his family. Look at his dad coming up there. I miss my son. You deadbeat SOB. When were you even around him? You know, these records are public, right? Everybody knows he gave him up, right? He had nothing to do with him. Oh, he smells money. He’s going to come out there to the press conference. Oh, I miss my dead gay son. He’s going to come out there. Heather’s quote. He’s going to come out there to the press conference. Show up, make everybody feel sorry for him. Maybe they’ll dry his tears to some hundreds. Trash. These people are trash. Daniel Penny deserved this justice. He absolutely deserved it. Do we have audio yet of the dad at the press conference? We were talking about that. Yeah, let’s play that. We were talking about this last hour. This is his dad at the press conference.
SPEAKER 03 :
I miss my son. My son didn’t have to go through this. I didn’t have to go through this either. It hurts. Really, really hurts. What are we going to do, people? What’s going to happen to us now? I had enough of this.
SPEAKER 04 :
The system is rigged.
SPEAKER 06 :
The system is rigged.
SPEAKER 04 :
Come on, people.
SPEAKER 02 :
Let’s do something about this. Should be able to threaten people. Let’s do something about it. What do you mean? You know what? That’s something that should have been done about this. Was your grifting. Welfare ass being there to raise your son. That’s when something should have been done about this, dad. You should have been a man and you should have stood up and raised your son. You should have been there for your child, dad. That’s when something should have been done. You know when something should have been done, dad? Right when he first started being violent, dad. That’s when you should have been there, dad. You don’t get to, when you’ve been MIA his whole life, go, oh, I’m tired of this. You didn’t do nothing to be tired of, you lazy grifter thug. You didn’t even do anything to be tired about. And now you want to throw the whole city into chaos and drag the country with it? Because you all abandoned your son? You deadbeat with your deadbeat mom and the deadbeat family and the deadbeat friends. I didn’t see any of them people around. Oh, he was asking for food. Where were you at? Your son was out there asking for food. Then on the subway, where were you, dad? Where were you at? Where was mom? Where were the uncles and the aunts? Where were they at? The cousins, the family, the friends, where were? Oh, no. Oh, but they’re all there with hand out. Wanting a settlement. They’re all there, hands out, wanting some cash. For what? Because they happen to be in their minds fortuitously related to to Jordan Ely, but they weren’t there for his life. No, what needed to be done, you missed the boat, Dad. You missed it multiple times throughout his life. So you don’t get to come out now and be like, I don’t even think he misses him. He didn’t even sound sad. Of course, how could he be? He had no relationship with him. He didn’t even know him. He just shows up in the aftermath. Hell, are they even sure it’s his dad? Does anybody know? No. This deserves ridicule. You know why it deserves ridicule? Because there’s another man who did the right thing. And he stepped up. And he was vilified for it. Thankfully, those witnesses, they told the, I mean, well, they were all in fear of their lives. They told the truth about what happened. Black and white. That’s the other thing. All these race grifters out there. Do you realize the number of black innocent subway passengers who were testifying? They were scared, too. Do you think Jordan Neely was drawing a distinction between black and white when he was targeting and threatening people? No, he wasn’t. You excuse this by acting like he was or by acting like he was the victim of some kind of like racial animus. He wasn’t. There were black passengers on that subway who thought they were terrified, too. He was threatening them also. It is evil and soulless to make this about race. You are endorsing random violence against people by doing so. I hope people see through this. I really hope that they do. Every Democrats desperately need some they need something as a starter to light the fire and cause massive destabilization going into January. That’s their M.O. every single time.

SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
So maybe pot noodle wasn’t the best way to smuggle pot into prison. I just would think that if you’re smuggling stuff into prison. I mean, I’ve seen Mayor of Kingstown. You know, it’s a great show. I don’t know if you’ve seen it or not. It’s a great show. But I just feel like maybe. I don’t know. That’s maybe not the best way to. To go about getting stuff into prison. I don’t know. By the way, everything froze, so I have no access to anything right now. So tell me, Cain, what is a pot noodle?
SPEAKER 05 :
A pot noodle? I guess it’s one of those things you throw into a pot and includes noodles. And if it’s Asian, then it’d probably be like a hot pot type situation. But the bottom line is… Okay, we’re back in business. Okay, the bottom line is they thought it was food. It was not food.
SPEAKER 02 :
Can you OD on the… I mean, if you listen to all the Reefer Madness people, you can OD on it.
SPEAKER 05 :
On pot noodle?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 05 :
No.
SPEAKER 02 :
The woman, Victoria Sked. She was hiding a lot of contraband on her person. MDMA, psychoactive substances, vials of steroids. Jeez. She was like a walking, you know, bodega. I was trying to say it like Jill Biden. It was really hard. But apparently it’s like a huge operation. And they bring outside stuff into the prison. And anyway, yeah, she’s in trouble. And apparently her whole ring of people are in trouble. A chemical spill at an Anheuser-Busch brewery in California led to an evacuation, according to CBS News. This Los Angeles Fire Department, they said it was a fire involving hazardous materials. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I’m not as interested in this. I’m not. Oh, I want this one. No, this is not real. Is this real? What? The pit diaper.
SPEAKER 05 :
I was looking. It has its own website. Look, the link is right there. I provided the link. It’s apparently… It looks like a comedy thing. It looks like something that you would see… How is it sold out?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t believe this.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it’s sold out.
SPEAKER 02 :
So the pit diaper… is if you’ve been to a concert and they said the scariest place isn’t the mosh pit, it’s the bathroom. And you don’t have to brave that hellscape with a pit diaper powered by Depend. And it looks like a Chanel quilted leather with like a Lemmy kind of gold skull.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, man.
SPEAKER 02 :
And this is not real. Look at that. But it’s from the liquid death people.
SPEAKER 05 :
If you’re hard enough to go to the mosh pit, but not the bathroom, there’s something wrong with you.
SPEAKER 02 :
Dude, have you been to, well, I know you’ve been to some of the die bar bathrooms.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I’ve been in mosh pits too.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m pretty sure that you can get like all the diseases in the world. Just that’s where Wu flu came from.
SPEAKER 05 :
Guys have the least what? What did you say?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t know. Let’s move to the next headline. Slap therapy. An alternative healer got 10 years in prison for the death of a woman at a slap therapy workshop. I mean, how is that a thing? It’s slapping therapy. It was a 71-year-old diabetic woman who stopped taking insulin during one of his workshops. Was he telling her he was going to slap the diabetes out of her? The technique has its roots in Chinese medicine, but critics say that it’s stupid because it’s dumb. It is dumb. It’s so dumb. So in addition to this, we also have Trump has been in France, and he was there for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Because as you know, there was a huge fire that went through 2019, damaged a lot of stuff. They had to do this super comprehensive rebuild. And then they had it – this is the opening week, so a lot of fanfare the opening week. So he was there. He met with – Britain’s Prince William. And it’s they notice that Joe’s not there. Joe’s not there. They sent the White House sent Jill and Ashley. So they sent a drug addict who left her diary talking about her incestual showers with her dad in the flophouse mattress. And then they sent Jill Biden. to go there to the opening of this cathedral, I guess, in place of Biden, who clearly would not have been. I mean, he hasn’t been doing well. It was bad when he was in Africa. It was bad when he was in Brazil. He’s not been doing well. So they sent them instead. Trump would, though, if you see him, do we have this video of him? I don’t know if you want to say – is he shaking hands with Macron or is he arm wrestling with Emmanuel Macron? I mean there’s a difference there. He was meeting Emmanuel Macron, the French president. He was meeting with a number of other world leaders. They were treating him as though he is the de facto already president. I mean it’s just the formality of the inauguration that remains. And so he shows up and he’s meeting. This is when he’s going in and he’s going to be meeting with some of the world leaders. But they’re already I mean, they’re treating it like a state visit. I wanted to ask you this. I was thinking about this. I don’t remember a time when a president elect was basically given the de facto because this was not Jill Biden going on this red carpet. This is Trump on the red carpet. He’s going to break Emmanuel Macron’s hand here. So this is like the second or third time that this has happened, by the way. But and I’ll come back to that. Am I looking too far into it? Because I was thinking about this. I don’t remember another world president-elect getting this kind of treatment like this. This normally would have been a function of the president, and Biden clearly is incapacitated. So Trump there just acting like the inauguration is a formality, right? That’s what it seems like.
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, think about it. How many times has it happened to where the president that is currently president, isn’t the future president, but he was also a past president, right? So this four years in between Trump’s two terms is a unique situation. So I think they’re receiving him like a president in his second term. That’s what it’s looking like to me.
SPEAKER 02 :
Also, Europe is a very different place than it was when Trump was elected in 2016 because you had Angela Merkel, who is considered the powerhouse in Europe. And then you could you saw her disastrous policies that led to this continued influx of illegal immigrants from northern Africa into Europe. The rise of Islamism in Germany. A lot of bad stuff happened under Angela Merkel. She didn’t want to pay just the minimum GDP into NATO because she wanted, I guess, the United States to treat Germany’s defense as a welfare entity. You also this is pre-Brexit. Now, a lot of things have changed. Like Italy is no longer in chaos. You have strong conservative leadership there. You have growing conservative leadership in the European Union since we have to get along with it and pretend that it’s a viable entity for now. You have also a lot of more conservative leadership in Austria. You have the rise of conservatism in Spain. They’ve been destroying the Socialist Party there. You even have Emmanuel Macron, whose government’s been thrown into chaos because of elections, etc. There he lost a lot of footing as conservative as the French can get. It’s a lot different from very, very far left Macron. And then you even have Keir Starmer, who is, you know, albeit a socialist ruling as prime minister of the UK. But he’s had to sit here and start blasting the open borders of the UK. And because he’s his party is taking a beating in the pollings. I mean, he’s losing support dramatically. That’s going to alter again the makeup of that of those political factions. So it is a very different Europe.
