Liberty Nation with Mark Angelides. Dana Lashes of Sir Truth Podcast Sponsored by Kel-Tec Like sands through the hourglass So are the days of the United States I took my grandson to see What was the movie with Buzz Lightyear Toy Story? Not that one Oh, the new Buzz The Lightyear I think it was called Lightyear Yeah, with Kiki Palmer's in that movie Okay, okay She plays like the daughter So we're watching it and the lady, which is Kiki's mama, they move on into the space years. They move down the line. They're like, man, she had a baby with a woman.
One of my grandson, in the middle of the movie, like, Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman. Oh, s***. I didn't come in for this s***. I just came and watched the s*** damn movie.
Hey, man, watch the movie. Uh-uh. They just said, she and she had a baby they both women's how does she have a baby movie ain't over with so it's like it's fuck me i'm scared to go to the movies now like y'all throwing me in the middle of that i don't have an answer for you know he's not wrong i think it's hysterical and he's getting all kinds of hate for this too why are they flaming him so hard for I mean it's not too It's true I mean There's different ways to To To Showcase things like that in film but apparently what that film did Is they just basically insinuated That it is the same as just A woman coupling and You know having a baby And that's true you want to go to a movie especially If it's a kids movie and you don't want to have to sit here And answer questions about this stuff You want to you want to escape This is why is that Disney movie Disney is so damn garbage. They opened up a Pirates of the Caribbean bar somewhere. I saw this.
I was almost going to include it in my headlines, but I'm like, they don't deserve it. You can open up however many Pirates bars you want to. You're trash. You're still trash. You're trash.
It's just nonsense. Nobody wants to have to answer those kind of questions. It's something that if people want to bring that up with their kids themselves on their own timelines, that's their right to do it. but incorporating things like this into kids movies where it's something that is way above their level of understanding. And there's a lot of nuance and a lot of, it's not for kids.
It's not for kids. And it's not wrong to say that there are certain things that are just way age inappropriate. And that's one of them. I mean, this is just so weak. Dude, you can't even level up for nothing.
So this is ma'am Danny. What was this at the men's? I was looking for what the name of this event is.
Some kind of, I don't know, men's health thing. And he shows up and he's trying to do a bench press. I can't tell what the hell the spotter's doing. There's like barely any weight on this thing. and the spotter is basically doing it for him.
He's not letting it go. Man Danny could not do it without that guy doing it for him. That is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen, and I made this mention. I told Kane this, and I'm sorry, but I've got it. You guys, one of the reasons that you sit next to me and we talk every day is because I say the things you think.
I don't know how this guy's wife looks at him after that and wants to sleep with him. I'm sorry. That's so that was natural birth control that I just watched. That's that is so sad. That's I mean, I can lift that.
That's I can do that. That's that's oh, man, you should not struggle as a man that much with basically it's just the bar at that point. I I and I get it that it was just this impromptu thing right I get it but the spotter like what is the spotter trying to add more weight onto it now just let me entertain this for a moment is the spotter to this ma'am Donnie stunt trying to add like push down on him almost who spots like that well I guess he's used to spotting heavier weight because that's what you would do for somebody who's struggling with heavier weight you want to make sure you've got one hand underneath one hand over you just never maybe it's because it's there's no way on it some people that deadlift that way as well i have never seen anything like that with just that kind of weight uh what are those on there those aren't even 25s probably what is that on there if that i think those are maybe 20s yeah that's like those are the middle the mid-sized 15s Those are, oh my gosh. I mean, at least help him out and put like the, oh, what is the one that everyone always says that they do? 45?
No, the type of weightlifting where they crossfit. Oh. Jeez.
So maybe they could help him out and put those weird little crossfit rubber weights on that are like five pounds, but they're huge looking. And they could have helped him out and done that at least.
So that way he looked real. I would have done that if I was this guy. You know, I would have just kept the, you know, kept the Victorian freak show going and just put some fake ones on. That is just, it's so embarrassing. And I'm not the only one who saw that.
Obviously, all of his competitors seized on it. Man, it was Brooklyn Men's Day is what it was. That's what I was looking for. Because at first I was like, why is he doing this in the middle of the street? Did he just like walk over and, oh, you're lifting, let me lift?
No, it was Brooklyn Men's Day. And I get the sense that he was not expecting to do this. He completed two assisted reps. Men. he completed two assisted reps.
I can hear the ribbing all the guys in the audience are giving him right now from here. I feel it. I'm like, oh my gosh, two. Two reps? Two assisted reps.
Wait, two sets? No, reps. Man scrawny is what Eric Adams called him. He goes a lifetime of hard work versus a silver spoon. Eric Adams went out there and, I mean, just saying.
I can't believe I'm in a position of talking positively about Eric Adams this is why I hate the left look at what they've done to us look at what they've done look what you did to my boy look what you did to us and even Cuomo got out there so now they're all out there lifting me and Danny that was I don't know you don't go to a men's day event and celebrate masculinity like them okay you know what they did they saw the heck seth and rfk jr video and then they're like you know why would you try to do we have got to appeal to oh my gosh why dude you need to go on steroids stat like why would you try to even do that oh my gosh i believe that this was an actual strategy i'm not kidding oh my gosh shares are in the corner i i just gotta tell you i'm i feel like i'm not speaking for all ladies but i feel that i can speak for enough of us sisters right enough of us especially conservative ladies uh yes strength absolutely matters i i'm not into the i'm not into the beto shaped people you know what i mean or the man danny shaped kind of people i want to feel like if our car was going off a cliff that my husband could hold onto a tree and then literally hold onto the car with other one other hand and then shoot another hand out of his neck and grab me and save I mean I want to feel like that I want to not be able to get my hands around your arms That what I want to do I and I don care how you achieve it I don not my husband does not take steroids or anything I don care how it achieved I not throwing no shade on it If you do I just saying I don want to be able to put my hands around my husband's waist or his arms or his legs. I don't want to do that.
Now I'm not saying I want you to be, you know, morbidly obese and 7000 pounds. But I don't. I don't want to feel like we could wear the same shirt right i don't want to be the same size as you i just i'm the woman you know it's me so i don't know i that is a big deal and i i'm very old school about this stuff and i just feel like this dude is too femme man he's way too he's a lady dude he's i i watch this and i'm like that man's poor wife can i have something so inappropriate to say go ahead i'm just gonna say i know why you call him ma'am donnie no ma'am it's ma'am donnie you know what i wanted to say is can he even lift i just i'm asking for a friend inquiring minds i i i mean i don't want to be able to lift the same as my husband right i want to just collapse of exhaustion just looking at the weight that my man does in the gym you know what I mean I'm very old school about this stuff so I don't know I and when we're when we're at the gym my husband will spot me I'm not even gonna pretend that I can spot him but and he's just like with a finger like okay and here I'm like and I'm pretty feeling pretty badass for a lady I'm doing a lot you know and I'm just saying so I looked at this and it hurt me it hurt my soul it hurt my heart and I'm like man like how would like how does this lady even get romantical with that is that mean I can't get away from this subject this is what is wrong with the left you know why their birth rates have fallen because look at their damn men look at the men do you think that men could storm beaches? No. You think the men could fight off like a horde of invaders?
No. Hell, they're tucking and calling themselves ladies. No, that's why the birth rates are falling because the men are ugly. They're weak and they're thin, thin little arms, little noodle arms. And then the women are bigger than the men.
Stop it. Good night. I don't care who gets offended over that. It needs to be said. You know, we need to go back to that.
Good heavens.
So as you can imagine now cuomo's getting in on it i don't he'll bust a blood vessel in his face let's not do that i is that going to play though with new york voters i mean that kind of stuff absolutely plays with me but i'm not a new york voter i'm not you know one of those i think at this point if you're still living in new york you're you know and and it's and you have a choice of leaving I don't know it just feels like I don't maybe it doesn't matter to them doesn't matter to them honestly I think it was focus grouped and I couldn't be you know overjoyed more about the whole idea just laughing about this whole thing they literally had a meeting and decided to do this you know that they did do you think that was just like some avant-garde thing that happened while he was getting a bagel or something no he wasn't out they planned this They actually, this was a strategy of theirs. It's amazing. I don't, and I swear I'm going to move off of this, but I also don't know any man that would allow another man, unless he's lifting an ungodly amount of weight and going for like a PR. I do not know anybody that would allow that kind of spotting. Like, dude broke it off of it.
I got this. Just like actually spot me. Don't like help me, you know. That's a good point. I don't know any man that would subject themselves to that publicly even.
And man, Donnie was like, okay. you can tell the dude's never lift. Look at his wrist. Look at the way he was lifting. Juan, you know that's right.
My comforter's never this heavy. Juan's like, I could toss him up into the sky. Like, what is he doing? Juan could spin him on his finger. It's just crazy.
I don't know. That's the stuff that they're, guys, we're going to have to, we're going to have to, we're, oh gosh, help us all. I just realized this. We're embarking on a new type of, Democrat electioneering Where they're going to pretend to be tough God help us all We are going to be subjected to this This is why this keeps happening They're like look we're talking tough And then you got Newsom out there almost stuttering When he drops an F-bomb because he's so unsure Of himself I don't know this word It's too explosive to come out of my mouth I don't know And I can't deal and now they're going to try to outlift each other Heaven help us all Kel-Tec, the PR-57.

In total, 58,000 U.S. home purchase agreements were canceled. Cancellations are most common in Texas and Florida. home sales they said are falling through the highest rate in years you got record prices elevated mortgage rates economic uncertainty a lot of people are walking away and so that's uh really destabilizing this whole market this um protest as a newborn has been removed from their it's mother in greenland i don't know if it's a boy or girl uh from the baby's mother in Greenland because they were saying that she underwent Danish authorities she underwent a parenting competence test and apparently I guess didn't pass it that kind of terrifying the local municipality took her baby into foster care the mother who is 18 says she only seen her daughter once They said that even though there a new law that bans the controversial psychometric assessment on people with Greenlandic backgrounds this woman who was born to Greenlandic parents, etc., she gave birth to her daughter in Copenhagen. And they apparently, they sent all the laws clear.
What? What? This is crazy. They said that they started testing her before the announcement that the ban was coming in. And then when they completed the test, the law was in force.
But because I guess they started it before the law that banned those psychometric tests went into effect, I guess it's considered like allowable. This is insane. Again, big government. Big government, guys. This is what you get with it.
this this uh a 92 year old sprinter is said to have the muscle cells of someone who is in their 20s that's crazy she's uh lives in padua italy so like padua is it's like north of venice northern italy uh five foot one elite sprint 92 years old they said that she literally like her her muscle cells look like they're muscle cells of somebody that are in their 20s they're studying her.

Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won.
$20 million is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to $22, $23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows.
So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open.
Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, America's large injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me.
Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. For instance, we've been talking about this flag burning thing. I don't agree with it. I think that the government has absolutely no business regulating speech. I don't care how vile someone thinks flag burning is, which it is.
You not liking speech is not a reason to use the government to limit it.
so that's you know we got to think of this stuff as well this order that potus has put out where they want to prosecute people who burned the american flag and they want to reclassify it as being an action that is tantamount to fighting words so they're trying to argue that it is unprotected speech because it's fighting words and for you to understand that if you're just tuning in we talked a little bit about this last hour you have different forms of speech that are protected and speech that isn't protected. What that means is that you're protected from litigation. You're protected from the government persecuting you or prosecuting you.
So libel, slander, defamation, and then fighting words. Fighting words is an interesting thing because it's specifically about incitement and incitement that is immediately trying to get a retaliatory response. And if you hear Wick, Wick is trying to interject in here. He broke through his gate. He desperately wants to be a studio pub.
I see you. We're talking about libel and defamation. These are issues you do not know about because you're a dog. He's confused. He's looking at me.
So this idea of this being something that this being fighting words. I just don't think that's, I don't think that's accurate. I don't think that's, I don't think that that's, I worry about reclassifying that.
So yeah, I worry about him reclassifying that. This is audio sound.
Well, no, that's, that's Chicago. I don't want to play that. Oh, four, four, four.
So no, that's not what we're, that's not, no, that's not it. That's crime coverage. That's not the flags up. No. So this idea that you're going to reclassify this as being an unprotected form of speech.
Again, I don't care how vile it is. That's not the litmus as to whether or not it should be protected or not. Here's one thing I sure as hell know. I don't want to hear from the left on this at all. I don't want to hear from the left on this at all, because if you remember, we have had let me pull this up.
We have had these issues where people have been charged for driving over pride flags, right?
So they've been there's one instance where you've had two kids. Do you remember this? I think it was in like Florida where there were kids that had like their little bikes and they were driving across these crosswalks that had been painted like pride flags. and oh my gosh, they left tire marks. And so they were talking about charging these kids.
There was a guy, this was in, let me pull this up because I had this story. I think this was like Delray Beach. No, well, here's one teen. This is the teen facing felony charges for leaving tire marks on Alphabet Pride intersection. I mean, they painted the pride flag on the street and people drive over.
Can't where do cars go? On the street.
Okay. Yeah, that's where they go. They go on the street. And when you drive over the street, sometimes you leave tire marks, especially if it's like a newly painted thing, which that was. They were going to go after Delray Beach was going to go after this 19 year old because they said that he left tire marks on an intersection and thus that's considered vandalizing it.
So the left has nothing to say about this. They've tried to go after people who have burned alphabet flags and all this other stuff for I don't know how long. The BLM stuff they went after people who drove over like BLM things whether it was like in New York or in Florida or California or wherever So the left has no nothing to stand on with this I just think that this is a slippery slope right? And Lorraine brings up a very good point for the people who are talking about the flag. I mean, I think there needs to be consistency.
You're not supposed to wear it as a shirt. You're not supposed to write on it. You're not supposed to have I mean, and we see that a lot like you're not even you're not no you're not supposed to have an american flag button up no that's like a repurposing of it that's actually against flag code u.s flag code but we've also had these cases too in 1990 as she notes texas v johnson now this was actually it's 1989 texas v johnson where the court has never held that desecration that is in any way done, that it amounts to incitement or fighting words. In fact, what they said, and this was the case, there are a couple of cases, Texas v. Johnson, 89, United States v.
Eichmann in 1990, both ruled that desecrating the American flag as a form of political protest is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. The court affirmed that while society may find flag-burning offensive, the government cannot suppress this form of expression simply because of its controversial nature. And I think that that's true. This edict is not going to stand because it's going to get overturned in court. And we're going to have to spend tax dollars to litigate it.
And that's what aggravates me.
Sorry, but we don't have that kind of – I mean, we're all taxed to death and we're broke. We don't have the the time and the bandwidth to sit here and start Trying to defend against litigation that should never even be happening because this is I don't see why why this?
Now there are other things that I like that he's done, but I don't like this I don't like this also because of everything that we all just went through the past eight years with Different government agencies trying to silence people and trying to argue that you asking questions about ivermectin online is tantamount to misinformation and that enough of this misinformation is going to be a threat to American health. And that constitutes a national security threat.
So that's why we, the government, are going to press upon these social media companies to shut people down that do this. We are all still living, many of us, with the consequences of those actions from the previous administration. You know, we went through the whole, we had, I mean, I lost my damn social media accounts because I simply asked about the laptop story. I didn't even tweet the New York Post laptop story. I wrote about it on my newsletter and then I tweeted it out.
But because it was about the laptop story, I ended up losing for several days my social media accounts. They put a strike against me over at YouTube. I was briefly suspended on Instagram. I was briefly suspended on X. I got locked out in Facebook, YouTube.
I mean, it was nuts, all because we were asking questions about a very legitimate thing.
So I am absolutely, completely 1,000% against the administration doing this. And again, that is completely separate from how vile you think flag burning is. Nobody likes flag burning. I don't know why people do it. I mean, it's the greatest nation in the land, even with all of our problems.
Still, it's heads and shoulders above everybody else. And that's just the truth of it. You don't even have to classify yourself as a nationalist to observe this accurately. But my point is, is that the flag burning is vile, but that is not justification to set a earth shattering precedent that will affect so many aspects of American culture, law, etc., policy, because it's built on a dislike of something.
Someone's dislike of it is not enough of a legitimate reason to use the government to control it. And this is where I get very, very nervous with this stuff. There is no reason. I don't know. I have something to add to it, too, because the way they described it today was like, well, if there's an incitement or some underlying crime, we can go after them and not run afoul of the First Amendment.
And it's like, well, if that's the case, then we should be able to prosecute based on those other crimes. Why are we doing this with the flag burning? If there's property damage, you go after him for that. If you're not supposed to be burning in a public place, no matter what it is, whether it's sticks or a flag, there's an avenue there. Why do we have to do this and label it as an EO and a flag burning thing?
And the other thing too is, if this is going to be constituted as incitement then what happens if someone's wearing a flag? No, what if you just have like a flag jacket on? A lot of people consider that to be very disrespectful. I mean, I've seen people get mad because someone had an American flag beach towel and they laid on it. This was like several years ago.
It was like on Instagram. And people get very upset.
So is that going to all? Oh, that's incitement, then how are we defining incitement? This is the problem that I have with this. It opens up so many other doors and you're setting up a dangerous, dangerous precedent. Because if you can define what incitement is just simply based on dislike of it, I mean, I hope that you all are prepared to weather the storm if we lose in 28, the hammer that will come down on conservatives.
If you allow the left that, how the hell do you think that that's going to turn out if they ever get back in power? These people are not thinking things through. This is what I'm saying. You know, going back to my original point, you know, getting upset over Trump for crime, fighting crime. I mean, that's dumb.
There's things I don't agree with that require legitimate dissent because this is an action of big government. And this is one of two moves that this administration has made in the past week that I don't agree with. They've done a lot that I agree with. But I also am not going to be held hostage in saying that, well, you have to agree with every single thing the administration does or you're not a patriot.
Well, that's un-American. That's some red coat garbage.
So reject that stuff because we're going to talk about the government taking ownership, taking a stake in intel. I got problems with that, too. What in the hell is happening? This is where nationalism isn't bad, but there's too much of anything can be dangerous. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
