Visit Caliber Car Wash today and experience the clean for yourself. Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast, sponsored by Keltech. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Brufford County traffic stop became a drug bus because a guy decided he was going to try to ditch the authorities, and so he drove into a ditch.
He ditched it earlier. Yeah, he did ditch it. He exited the car and then tried to throw away a bag of white powder, which absolutely was cocaine. Yes, you're correct. Hunter Biden was nowhere to be found.
They confirmed that it contained almost 30 grams of cocaine, and he had a lot more cocaine in his pockets, too.
So he was booked on trafficking charges, held without bond, the guy. Yeah, you're not. I'm just trying to understand the. thought process of driving one's sedan into a ditch, a pretty you know deep ditch and thinking you're going to be able to get out of that, not going to happen. This guy threatens to shoot a supermarket employee because of pork bellies.
Broward County. Harlan Zoria of Sunrise, Florida, was taken into custody. It was at the Quince Supermarket. He entered the store. And then Picked up and tried to hide four packets of pork bellies.
It was like $40 in the bag, and then tried to exit the store without paying. An employee confronted him. He became aggressive. Yelled, stop being a rat and mind your business. And then he threatened to shoot the guy in the face.
He said that he had a firearm, which I don't think he did, but no firearm was ever visibly seen. And he returned the items to the store shelf, but then continued to chase the employee inside the store. I mean, talk about really doubling down on stupid.
So he was arrested, taken to Broward's jail, and he's being held still on $10,000 bond. Do you he alm probably could have gotten away. But he decided he was going to be, yeah.
So, this guy was mad over a ding-dong ditch, and so he decided to run down three kids with his car. The kids ding-dong ditched at his house. He was mad. Collier County Sheriffs said that he was arrested, charged with two counts of aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony. 51 years old.
Apparently, the kids rang his doorbell, ran away, and they were riding on scooters. And then, all of a sudden, this guy, he didn't take kindly to it, came up behind them with headlights and was chasing him down in the street. A neighbor saw it, called 911. The guy was taken into custody and he's charged. That's not the way to deal with that, you know.
For someone, it might as well be like all these Democrats say, you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. F you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you got food on your f ⁇ table? Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your fing garden? Who do you think is here by the f ⁇ ing? Sheer. Just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the fing criminals.
I think you need to cuss more, you crackhead. Because maybe if you cuss more, your brain will at some point be able to find the words that it needs to make some sort of sentient point. Welcome back to the program. That's a former first crackhead, Hunter Biden, who I don't know who he was talking to. Who was that with?
I don't care. But Yeah. I just, I think it's, it's so lame. He's Why is it that when Democrats talk about immigration, they never talk about people that come in the country legally and then they start? You know, creating businesses.
And, you know, they actually have some lofty goals for themselves. Democrats are always mad because it's always their slave labor that everyone, they think everyone's targeting. Oh my gosh, like, who's going to wash our toilets? Like, oh my gosh, who's going to do our yards? Like, oh my gosh, who's going to cook our meals?
Like, oh, my gosh, who's going to raise my kids? Oh, my God. That's all I hear from these people.
Some things never change. No, they never change. They have that slave owner mentality, and it still exists today. I mean, it's like, I mean, if am I watching? No, you guys are just, you guys punked me, didn't you?
You guys played a deleted scene from Django Unchained, didn't you? No, that wasn't. Yes, you did. That's a scene from Django Unchained. That's not.
I mean, I can see where the confusion is. It sounds just like it. It's really not. It's. It's very, very recent.
I don't know. I feel like I'm being punked here and they're just playing me deleted scenes. I mean, that's I mean, that's what it sounds like. He's mad because he thinks that the only jobs that he ever mentions. The Like those, like menial labor.
Are those the only immigrants that they know? I mean, I've really got to ask this question. Do Democrats not know any actual like immigrants? Do they know any actual Mexicans? I ask this because these are the jobs that they always mention.
I mean, who's going to do this stuff? And I don't know why. Can we get over this awkward cussing thing that they're doing on the left? It's so cringe. I'm dying a slow death.
I don't know what's worse hearing that or like, I don't know. Smod. Smod's better. But This is That's what it is. They're upset because it's their slave labor.
They want to bring in people that will do this work.
so they don't have to pay them decent wages. That's really what it is. That's all it is. And he feels he's really feeling himself because He's you know, he's got that pardon. But I I think also too.
Does he think that That It almost sounds like he believes every single person who immigrates to the United States. Is An illegal immigrant. and that or that that's the only thing that they can do. That these jobs are the only things that immigrants can do, which I find incredibly racist to think this. I mean, it's like you're listening to.
The manifestation in meat space of I hate saying this phrase, white privilege, complain. about having to pay decent wages to people who are here legally. Has he ever mowed a lawn? Do you think he's ever remotal on? He smoked some grass, probably.
Yeah, smoking the grass is not the same thing as cutting the grass. I don't know. Maybe he's upset because his cocaine price increased because of the border closure. I don't know. Maybe something clearly has him all in a tizzy.
Yeah, who do you think? How do you? He said he listed how your hotel room gets clean. How do you have food on your table? Who washes your dishes?
Why couldn't it be Why couldn't it be that yeah, me, I do those uh but why couldn't it be Something like, oh, what is the restaurant that made the food that you're eating? Like, why is it never anything loftier? Right. Where's the farm that you got your produce? Like he never asked they never asked those questions.
They never ask, well, who is the maker of the toilet in your home that you had? They never, you know, like just say, why couldn't people who come into the who immigrate to the country own any of these businesses? Democrats never put them in that role. It's always Well, how does this get cleaned, or how does this menial task get completed, or how does this menial task get completed? It's this It is the absolute racism of zero expectations.
That's exactly what this is. That's just incredibly hurtful. I mean, if you come into the country legally and you're hearing this, I mean, I can't even imagine. That's just so ignorant to say this stuff. But this is Hunter Biden.
By the way, Hunter Biden, he cares so much about illegal immigrants that he literally blamed him. Remember okay, so this gets confusing.
So do you remember When Hunter Biden's brother kicked the bucket. Although Joe Biden changes the story all the time, maybe he's alive. But when his older brother kicked the bucket, Hunter Biden cheated on his wife with his sister-in-law. Remember that?
So he had both wives. And then he got his sister-in-law apparently introduced her to crack. And then he also decided that he was going to blame He literally decided to blame his missing handgun on. quote, shady and probably illegal Mexicans. Not even making this up.
Not making it up. Daily Mail, I hate the publication, but they have the actual story. where they wrote about this. get into how The police report, which was published for the first time this week.
So it was published today. This was all back in 2018. The police report, that's when it was first filed. He was trying to blame his missing handgun on Mexican workers at a Delaware supermarket.
So when his sister in law slash lover slash mistress Yeah. When he illegally bought his handgun He was Hezekiah. Remember, he lied on his 4473. Nothing ever came of it because, you know. The rules are different for Democrats.
His sister-in-law slash lover/slash mistress stole it. and then threw it in this trash can. That was, it was this like tiny supermarket that was literally across the street from an elementary school. You can actually go on Google Maps and stand at the intersection, and you can see the supermarket on one side and the school on the other.
So literally tossed it in a public trash can. It's at Janssen Supermarket. in Wilmington and it was across the street from a school. And then they found it. And so he actually was blaming.
This was first published in 2021. He actually started then blaming. This little, it's like a little bougie supermarket. I was trying to think of what it's similar to. It's kind of like a central market, Whole Foods, kind of, it looks fancy.
I've never been in one. But he told the officer Sergeant Vincent Clemens, this is what Hunter Biden said in his interview with police, this is literally what he said. Quote. They have some shady people working at the market. And then he pointed to two Mexican store workers and said they were probably illegal.
Proly illegal is literally how it's written in the police report.
So Hunter Biden is so mad at you mean old Republicans for bringing in oh, you guys don't I mean who's gonna clean your toilets and stuff?
Well, who's gonna be your scapegoat for, you know, your sister in law slash lover throwing your cracked out handgun in a trash can across from a school? Who's gonna be the scapegoat for that if we're not allowing illegal aliens to come in? Oh my gosh, he ha he went in the police report. Why is this coming out just now? I think we know.
Because of that pardon, baby?
So he can say all this stuff. And remember, the police were worried. Because literally the supermarket, I said elementary school, I meant high school.
Sorry, the elementary school is down the road. But it was directly across the street from the school. And police were very concerned. because they did not want, apparently kids go, they'll go to that market and get snacks and stuff. They were very nervous that kids would have found that gun in the trash can.
Yeah.
So and uh that's yeah, that's literally what he said. That's uh So he was worried, Kane. about the Prawly probably illegal.
Well, so in that statement, think about it. He says Shady Mexicans.
So, right off the bat, there's no nothing illegal about them. They don't have to be breaking the law, nothing. They're just shady.
So, he thinks of Mexicans as shady. Step number one. Number two, then, he goes on to say, probably. Illegal.
So he thinks that Mexicans, whether he knows they're illegal or not. He's just going to assume that they're illegal. Yeah.
So that's his baseline stance. That's his true baseline stance there. It said two of Jansen's employees, described by the police report as Mexican males, walked past the loading dock area, and Hunter told a police officer that the store had suspicious people working for it. Asked if he was referring specifically to those two staff members, Hunter responded, yeah, probably illegal. and gestured to them.
That was in the police report. Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just the drugs talking. He's Wow. Lorraine reminds me too, do you remember when Kelly Osborne was on the View? And she said, Well, who's going to be cleaning people's toilets? You know, Mexicans.
She literally said that. She actually did get some pushback for it. Rightfully so, because it was a stupid thing to say.
So where's the pushback for You know. Former first crackhead of the White House. Where's the pushback for that? Where, I mean, Democrats own him. They own him.
He's blaming his cracked-out handgun purchase that was thrown in a trash can at a supermarket on illegal Mexican immigrants. This is who the Democrats are. But he's the big racist. Or no, Republicans are the big racist. For upholding the law.
And that's even after he does this interview where he says.
Well Who's going to be doing all these menial tasks? Who's going to be doing this stuff for you? Who's going to be cleaning your house and who's going to be Washing your toilets and who's going to be doing this stuff? Who's going to be making your food? Who's going to be doing your yard?
Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, I'll do that. Why does that do they is that just like a you know speaking of foreign is that a foreign concept to them? I think so. They think that that They're just so weird.
You know, I was thinking about this. Think about all of these like first sons.
So, like, Jack Schlossberg, I think is his name. Yeah.
That guy, oh, he's all Schlossberg. That guy is a nut. and he's on social media. He's the grandson of JFK Jr. Oh no, sorry, grandson of JFK.
JFK Jr. is his uncle. His mother is Caroline, who was the daughter of Jackie and Uh JFK. And Apparently He didn't get invited to the Big Kennedy Fourth of July gathering. Because they're blacklisting people that they don't like, and they don't like RFK Jr.
and they don't like him. And But it's these first sons. Like the like him and then Hunter Biden. There's this issue on the left. Like even JFK Jr.
had his issues. Didn't they say he was basically like a spoiled Nepo baby who was given basically a magazine to run to boost his political profile and he was running that in the ground? And then he tried to fly a plane and he ended up flying it right into the damn water because he just was too smart to listen to anybody else who was saying that there was fog in the area, et cetera, et cetera. There's a serious problem with Democrat first sons. Look through history.
Is there a normal one? I don't think so. I don't think there is. If the Obamas had a Sunday, he'd be just as messed up. What is with the first sons on the Democrat side?

Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is not a f ⁇ ing actor. He is a finger. Like, I don't know what he is. He's a brand.
And by the way, and God bless him. You know what? He supposedly treats his friends really well. You know what I mean? Buys them things.
And he's got a really great place in Lake Como. And he's great friends with Barack Obama. F you. What do you have to do with anything? Why do I have to listen to you?
What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically? I don't know why he's mad at George Clooney. There was so much in this audio, this interview that he gave, where he was. I still think it's like it's insane. This is some of the stuff that because he went after everybody from James Carville, he went after David Axelrod, he went after Rahm Emmanuel.
He went after, I guess, all these people that he thinks. We're part of put pushing his his father Out, I guess, somehow. And I don't know. I don't hold any of those. I don't know why they think that those people are responsible for pushing out.
Joe Biden, when I mean it's joe clearly His health did not allow him to do this job. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That's that insane interview that Hunter Biden gave, which I think is. Normally, I would just kind of roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders and be like, whatever, but I think it serves a couple of different purposes.
and in terms of playing it for you. The first, obviously, is I think that there is A serious It's a serious example of two-tier system of justice. Because as he's going on and on, and we talked about this last hour, illegal immigration, and as he's saying that it's a racist to have borders and all this stuff, he was also accused. Mexicans of apparently the crime of throwing his, yeah, sorry, shady, thank you, Kane, quote-unquote, shady Mexicans. Of apparently, that's the reason why his gun was in a, he blamed them for the trash can, the gun in the trash can across the street from the school, where his sister, sorry, it gets confusing, sister-in-law lover.
Side piece tossed it into the trash can across a piece from the school. Then he was going off about illegal immigration, and there was this one insane soundbite where. He was lamenting I guess the fact that Kilmar Brego Garcia. was sent to El Salvador. And he said, if I was the president, I would invade.
He said this in this interview. He said, if I was the president, I would call him up. I would call the president of El Salvador. And I would be like, you're going to basically release this guy, or I'm going to invade. Wow.
Yeah.
The reason this brings me to the second reason why I think playing this is important. He was in the White House making decisions.
Now I know that they're trying to backtrack that now. Because they realize how horrible it looks and they have no cover anymore. Because everyone else has kind of given up on Joe. And all the Bidens are trying to do right now is save Joe Biden's legacy because that's still some kind of money-making opportunity for them. But he was there, and there were numerous stories, and there were numerous confirmations of how he was living in the White House.
He was living in the White House. And He was also involved in some pretty high-level meetings. He was going there with Joe Biden. He was going to these high-level meetings with Joe Biden. I was traveling with him internationally.
He was sitting there when he would have his cabinet meetings. That came out. This is the type, I mean, you heard what he, well, you didn't hear it, but you, that sound bite where he literally was saying, I'm going to invade El Salvador. That's just insane. If I was president, I would have invaded.
Can you imagine? If this had happened wh while his dad was still in the White House, This is the stuff that he would be telling his dad. Yeah, you need to call the president of El Salvador and I want to invade El Salvador. Unless what? Unless you return.
a human trafficking wife beating resident. literally of El Salvador that here If they don't send their citizen back. You're going to invade them. What? Kane's face is so, his eyes are so wide right now.
I can see them all the way.
Well, I mean, it was Biden that threatened Ukraine with holding back a billion dollars. if they didn't have a prosecutor fired.
So it seems like Yeah. He learned it from watching him. He did. Doesn't he sound like Joe? He sounds like Joe Biden.
You hear. the young jackwagon Joe Biden. In these interviews, coming out in Hunter, don't you?
So, I always said Joe Biden, this idea that he's like some harmless grandpa. Dude is a jackwagon. He's always been a jackwagon. If you go and look at any of the stuff that he did when he was younger, any of the times that he was on the Senate floor, he was a jerk. Hunter Biden sounds just like him, but that's a very good point.
He because if you remember, he, I mean, they didn't he, he had Hunter on that trip with him, too, if I remember. And Joe Biden Was he wanted to withhold. Let me look at my digital files for this. Yeah, he did not want remember that prosecutor was the one who was investigating some of the nefarious criminal activity involving barisma, right? And That ooh.
He remembered that whole story. Because who was on the border? Yeah Exactly. And Burisma was actually under scrutiny. It just wasn't public.
I know USA Today was trying to do a walk around it, but there's conflicting reporting to what USA Today was saying. They were absolutely, there was a lot that was on the radar already with Burisma. There was a lot of suspicion. And also USA Today did say, yes, he did, it is true that Joe Biden leveraged a billion dollars in aid. To get Victor Shokin fired.
Victor Shokin was the top prosecutor, and that was back in March of 2016. And They're trying to say, well, you know, it wasn't really because, you know, because of Burris. No, no, no. It was because he was actually getting too close to it. He was getting too close to the whole burrisma thing and the fact that Hunter Biden was on that board.
And so he absolutely did.
Now remember when Trump was talking to Zelensky. Remember, and he was discussing, you know, any kind of aid, etc. They were trying to accuse Trump of doing the very thing that actually Joe Biden had done. And that was ultimately the veneer. behind which they claimed was that they said that that was the justification for impeaching Trump.
The first time when they in his first term, they impeached him because of his call with Ukraine, and he was trying to withhold funding. And he wasn't trying to withhold funding. He wanted accountability from funding. He never said he was going to withhold funding. In fact, he gave Greenland funding.
So that was stupid. That was all fake. But they were trying to say that. Trump was doing actually exactly what Biden ended up doing. Nothing ever happened with Biden.
Nothing ever happened with him at all, whatsoever. And Biden was on stage, and we played that audio. He was on stage bragging about it. He was talking about how he had used. You know, his authority is vice president.
At the time, he had used his authority to really kind of, you know, muscle over and get this independent prosecutor, get this investigator out.
So he was bragging about that.
So yeah, when you hear. Hunter Biden make these like claims and demands. That's It sounds very much. It sounds just like his dad. Just like his dad.
So again. This isn't good for Democrats because it hires this. It highlights this double tier. this this double tier system of justice. Keltech, the PR 57.

Alright, so first up. By the way, Lorraine was saying that the commanders doesn't have anything to do with General Custer. I'm pretending that it's true. Why not? Because they can do whatever I'm doing.
I'm identifying that as true. We're doing that. In-N-Out billionaire Lindsey Snyder. L-Y-N-S-I-N-I Sure. says that doing business is not easy here.
Duh.
Next. Would you go into debt for your pet?
Some people are.
Okay, these are dinks, they're dual income, no kids. This is why you get dog insurance, by the way. If you're gonna get a pretty high-maintenance breed, you need dog insurance. It's a real thing. But they say that 68% of people who own pets, I'm not, I love dogs, I do not say I'm a pet parent.
They've said that they've made financial sacrifices to cover essentials from taking essentials. And I think that, you know, that's fine if you're going to save money for them or whatever. But I think that you got to be smart about it. You got to be smart about things. Let's just be smart.
And they have. These people, I swear I feel like I'm reading something that was written by the people. What's his face? Christopher Guest, who did Beston Show.
So USA Today, they have a whole pet section for the dinks, right? They said dinks, the dual income no kids, the dinks. They spend on average of almost $2,000 a year on their pets.
Now, yes, if you're raising a child, not including college education or anything else, $23,000 a year to raise a child just, you know, without any of the bells and whistles.
So you have groomers, medication, but I do think that, I don't know, I. I have a whole theory about the whole pet thing. We'll talk more about it later because I'm gonna get lost and we have other headlines.
So, we also have Andrew Cuomo who says he's gonna move to Florida if Zoron Mam Danny becomes the New York City mayor.
Well, you might want to because it's probably gonna, he's totally gonna weaponize government against you. I mean, that's what National Socialists or what we would call Nazis for short do. That's your problem for killing old people in New York. It's uh, apparently your loneliness is killing you. Is the story?
Is it though? Is the loneliness the thing that's giving you the heart attack when you're young and healthy? Is it Literally. Literally. They say it's a grim new report from the World Health Organization that told everyone to go out and get experimental injections.
So basically, almost a million people a year, they say, 100 every hour, are killed from loneliness. And that we are all technically more connected at any point than human history, but also more disconnected at any point through human history. It's really true.
Social isolation. Maybe it's because you made everyone stay home for two years and you shut down work. All of you people die in an AIDS fire. I'm not kidding. Die in the most hellacious AIDS fire for what you did to two generations of people.
Huh.
Now, you know, he wants to run for president in 2028. He's very much like he's on board with that. But apparently, yeah, he. is eye in a 2028 presidential run. He told executives that air traffic Control upgrades would allow them to fly more planes, and so why would that be in his interest?
Sources said. They handed out. Uh over 80 billion. Over four years. That was half of all of the Department of Transportation's entire budget.
for a typical fiscal year, according to records. They said yes, he was definitely pushing an agenda. and he apparently had little to no interest. And took Zero. Action towards air traffic control modernization.
Oh my gosh, the safety system that hasn't been updated since the Carter administration, and he did nothing there. What do you I mean don't you think okay, this might be a naive question Yeah. But if you're going to be the Transportation Secretary, shouldn't you at least have some sort of working knowledge about how the hell it works? I don't know how Department of Transportation works. I know that they're supposed to handle stuff like that.
Right? Yeah.
And he didn't do it. Remember he was also, how long was he gone? He was like gone eight weeks. after he purchased some babies, he was gone for eight weeks. for maternity leave.
The best the cherry on the top was when they both got into like like pajamas and sat in a hospital bed. Like they pushed the baby out of their birth canals themselves. And he uh Did not take any questions. He was basically not basically MIA, according to people within the Department of Transportation, if you remember. While we had the supply chain crisis and all that stuff, he was nowhere to be found.
The uh Booty Juices spokesperson, Chris Meager. Of course his name is Meagher. His meagre spokesman. Said no, no, no. I mean, if there was some like new flight routes and stuff that was added, what are you talking about?
They s they had an air traffic controller shortage apparently, and uh They weren't upgrading systems, and he was doing nothing to help with that, according to all of these insiders that are blowing the whistle on him right now. Uh the uh eighty billion in eighty billion. eighty billion dollars. On DEI grants. Isn't the thing with Delta that happened over the weekend, wasn't that said to have done, weren't people complaining about.
DEI also. you know, where they had a pilot that had to take aggressive maneuvers and all this stuff because they got too close to this other jet. A lot of people have been talking about the air traffic control industry. and how they need more actual Like competent air traffic controllers.
So I mean, apparently, he didn't do a whole hell of a lot over at Dot Kane. He didn't do anything. I mean, what is the point of having the department if you're not doing anything that has to do with transportation? That'll CEI have to do with this. You know, if I spent 80 billion.
Even just eighty billion in that department, which by the way, more was spent. I would have something to show for it. I would say, hey, look at this. Look at this thing I did with 80 billion. Uh what is he?
Have. to show for it because there's no improvements in The Department of Transportation as it relates to air traffic control. Um so what did he do? Yeah, no neck, absolutely nothing. Uh the focus of his it says under Buddhajudge, the focus of the department shifted uh dramatically.
They had 400 DEI-related grants approved, and that was an audit of federal spending between 2021 and 2024. grants for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Uh they said that programs like Justice 40. which sent about fifty-five percent Uh Of about $150 billion in infrastructure investments to quote unquote disadvantaged communities, pursuant to an executive order that Biden signed to quote advance. equitable outcomes.
So that's the the Justice 40. Justice 40 initiative, they say the categories of investment are climate change, clean energy, energy efficiency, sustainable and affordable housing. uh remediation uh legacy pollution Why aren't you? That's that's it there. That's it there, yeah.
And uh This was Biden's 21 1.2 infrastructure law. five billion uh equity that was by the way that Part of that money, do you guys remember the, oh my gosh, this is one of my craziest stories? The electrical vehicle charging stations. Do you guys remember that?
So they only built seven. Good God. Seven thousand? Seven. 700.
Like seven. And That was a $5 billion equity effort. They were supposed to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, and it only seven were built.
Now, you might be like, well. What is that? What do you mean, equitable effort? What is the equity effort? The equitable effort.
What does that mean?
Okay, so. I remember we had this story. Let me just bring it back up because it's been almost a year ago. Let me just bring this back up to you.
So they had this program where they were supposed to build like half a million of these charging stations. They only did seven of them. And the people in Dot, like, or or. In departments in which they fall under the purview of the Department of Transportation, like the Federal Highway Administration, et cetera, et cetera, they were the ones who started talking to the press about it. And the reason being is because of that equitable thing.
that little equitable equity word in there. that I had mentioned. They were not allowed. Remember, they had all these requirements. If you were going to build a charging station, like you had to be like minority-owned and you had to have X amount of minorities.
Like, it wasn't enough to be minority-owned. Like, if you were a black business owner, but you didn't have enough minorities on your staff, then you were not considered. I mean, that's how crazy it was. And you had to have like an interpreter, and they did, oh my gosh, what was it? Block parties.
Remember all this stuff? And uh People were saying, you're not going to be able. To Get anything built with this, with these types of requirements. You're not going to be able to get. anything built.
And it Actually, um I mean, it was blamed for holding all of this back. There were all of these secret documents that came out. Daily Caller had a big thing on it. And so did the Free Beacon. And they were reporting on how.
All these internal documents showed how All of these stupid DEI demands made it impossible to, I mean, I'm surprised they got seven built, honestly. It was described as a quote mess. And it said that the DEI requirements were hamstringing Biden's EV agenda. And That was why they were behind the charging station goals. And I'm saying this because this is all part of this $80 billion apparently that Booty Juice was just giving away to DEI stuff.
That's how bad it was. Like they, you had to be able, you had to show like neighborhood initiatives. Like if you had held a block party and all that, like, what the hell are you doing? You're building an EV state, you're building a damn charging station. Meaningful public involvement.
Now, it wasn't enough to do it a one-off. You had to prove that this would occur throughout the project's life cycle. They never actually meant. They never actually defined what public involvement was, but they just gave the reason I said black parties is because they gave that as an example. The Department of Transportation documents.
By the way, all this is on the internet. That's the stuff. Yeah, visual preference surveys, games and contests, and neighborhood block parties. Those were some of the examples that they gave. and that the grant recipient Had to provide multilingual staff or interpreters to interact with community members who use language other than English.
So it wasn't even. That you had to have an interpreter for your employees. You literally had to employ an interpreter to talk to the community. You, the person building the E V charging station.
So Kane. If Kane had a company that wanted to that was bidding for a contract. To build a charging station, they'd be like, Okay, well, you're half Hispanic. I guess that's half enough. How many people of color do you have on your staff?
How many minorities do you have on your staff? And if he didn't have enough minorities on his staff, he wouldn't be considered. If he did, then he had to further show that he had an interpreter on staff, not even to deal with his own employees, but to just talk with the community. He would have to prove that they were doing all these events and stuff for the community as part of the quote, meaningful public involvement that was never defined, but was only Really, only showcase by examples of which block parties were mentioned, you would have to do all of that. Even the sourcing of the materials that you used, you had to make a good faith effort to show that you were getting sourcing for your production from other minority-owned or disadvantaged minority-owned companies or companies in disadvantaged areas.
Wrap your head around that. Wrap your head around that. Why do you think we only had seven of these damn things built? This was under Pooh Booty Juice. And people in the Department of Transportation were like this, like actual other leftists.
We're like, this is the stupidest burp that we have ever seen. They said you are hamstringing us. Hey, I'm stringing it.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation is out there going, well, since Biden took office, the public available charging ports, it's grown wildly. It's grown like over 90%, not because of you. Not because of you.
So, this was just a slush fund. DEI is just a slush fund. All it is is another way to redistribute money. That's all it is. That's all it is.
It's just a way to redistribute money.
So Going back to this, this was under. This is all that Justice 40 stuff. This is all a part. of that eighty billion dollars. That Poot Booty Juice was in charge of, and that he was spending more towards.
Like DEI and all of this other stuff, than actually going and pursuing air traffic controllers, upgrading safety systems, doing all of those things. And what was his, and his excuse was: oh, well, you can walk and chew gum at the same time, meaning, well, I can do this and I can do these other things. Remember that time, that was remember we had that whole thing. But you're not doing the other things is what people are pointing out to you.
So I I mean he He just I honestly, all of this stuff. I think it's very interesting that we had all of these incidents. That stem from the perfect storm of his, if you want to call it, leadership over at the Department of Transportation. Good heavens. By the way, we spent $4 billion to refunds for customers because of consumer complaints.
Remember he had that whole initiative set up? That wasn't airlines that was paying that. That was taxpayers that were paying that. We were paying that. Unreal.
