Watch the latest episode now, exclusively on RarewellDone.com. Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast, sponsored by Keltech. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right, so First up Yeah.
I've seen a lot of excuses before, but I've never seen one like this.
So a man crashes a stolen BMW. And then He says that he had been teleported into it. What? The Lisha County Sheriff's Office. They said a man left his business.
BMW unlocked in the park, the keys in a closed cup holder, which was stupid. While the man was walking his dog, why didn't you take your car? He's so dumb. His car was stolen. A few minutes later, it crashed.
at an intersection, witnesses got the driver out and they they told deputies the driver, thirty six year old Calvin Johnson, he was speeding over a hundred miles per hour. He said that he didn't steal the car, he teleported into it. Oh. It was against his will. He just teleported right into the car.
He uh has been charged with grand theft. of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license. The footage is pretty. That's the footage. He would just, he said he was telling deputies he was teleported into the vehicle.
I don't think that's how that works. You know, and and you so wait, you were teleported in the vehicle and then you just started it and drove it off? Right. I mean, you're missing a key component here, my dude. I mean, it didn't start by itself.
You know, just saying it did not start by itself.
So, hmm. Uh, let's see. A um Coral Springs man tried to beat his mother to death with a frying pan over a dementia diagnosis, according to police. This is horrible. Oh my gosh They arrested this man.
He tried to beat his 82-year-old mother to death. Oh, he tried to smother her as well. Keith Woodward. He wanted to kill her because of her early dementia and need for constant assistance. I'm all I mean, I I don't believe in abortion, but I do for this guy.
I believe in a late stage abortion for this guy. I'm just saying. Uh he said we got a frying pan, entered her room and then uh began beating her over the head, trying to kill her. A violent struggle ensued. And she apparently tried to smother her.
She ultimately escaped, so he's a big giant pansy because he couldn't even beat up an 80-something-year-old lady. I'm just not saying you should, but good grief, right?
So he's held without bond. He can't have any contact with his mother. He has to undergo a mental health screening. I think he's just evil. Look at this guy.
I mean, I'm not saying that if prison justice were to occur, I would love to donate to the commiserary of anybody who might be behind it. I'm not saying that at all. But I'm just saying, you know, fate has a funny way of working things out in the prison system, you know. Uh let's see. Yee no, I don't want to talk about this goodwill one cane.
Don't make me do this one. This is so why why of all the places to be nasty? Right. Well, we are running out of time, so lucky you. I mean, and there's another, a drunk Florida woman who was.
Walking down the street with her liquor in hand and no breeches. The folks who help make the program possible, it's Keltech.

So, uh The late Charlie Kirk Kirk has a book that is out. It's out now this week. And um The and it was already planned. He had already been writing it, and it was already, I think, everything was pretty much done except for like the legal reads and all that stuff, you know, the same old stuff in publishing. And so now it's out and his wife Erica Kirk is doing the promoting the book for him this week.
And she was on Fox recently. Just a little bit ago, and for the first time addressed those conspiracy theories. Head on.
So it's the sound bite you've been waiting for. Listen. Come after me. Call me names. I don't care.
Call me what you want. Go down that rabbit hole. Whatever. But when you go after my family, My turning point USA family, my Charlie Kirk show family, when you go after the people that I love. And you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode.
going after the people that I love because somehow they're in on this.
Now. You know, I have to say it, I've never seen you like that. No, I'm I'm very I. This is righteous anger because this is not okay. It's not healthy.
This is a mind virus. Yes, I believe in our judicial system. I do. We have a hell of a team working on this. Excuse my French.
But this is not okay.
So you want to put these people back in the box where they've been creeping from? I don't care what box you're in. But just know that your words are very powerful, and we are human. My team are not machines, and they're not robots, they are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen.
I have kidnapping threats. I have, you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted. And every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again?
They watched my husband get murdered. I have no idea how I would have reacted if I was there that day. And thank the good Lord that I did not have to see that happen, but my team. They are rocked to the core.
So, why every single day do they have to be dragged through the mud, analyzed, hyper-analyzed? You know, sit in a corner and cry in the employee position.
Sometimes you see things in life. And you wonder, well, what does this mean? Why does this person come from this background? Why does this person, like I, you know, if you're not familiar with Erica Kirk's story, She's a pageant girl. And I'm not saying that, that's not a pejorative.
I'm j that's, you know, it's she was in pageants for a long time. And I think she won a number of really impressive titles. And when you start young in that Industry that circuit. You develop the habit of always being very put together. Always being very ready, especially at the upper levels.
You're always ready, you're always put together. Remember when people were. Trying to criticize her for how she dabbed her eyes. That's literally, that's a TV thing, too. It's a pageant TV thing.
You do that so you don't mess up your makeup and smear everything. And she already had a business, a Christian business. She did apparel and accessories before she ever met Charlie Kirk. She was successful. She had a business in New York where it's hard to create and maintain a business.
And she was already successful in her own right. And she was always very put together because of that pageant background, right? And when you It all it made sense to me for the first time when we were at the funeral service. Because I thought, oh All of these things. in her life.
have prepared her for the storm. Isn't it interesting how when you get in the storm, You suddenly realize How all the things in your life prepare you for that. What she said here And this is the first time that she's ever addressed any of those. Ridiculous conspiracy theories. And I mean righteous indignation indeed.
And as I said on X with this, She has every right. To be right, she this is she has every right to be angry, and she's angry. in the classiest of ways here. There is such a clear difference between her. And these grifters like Candace Owens.
And as I said, Candace Owens was an Al Sharpton protege who was doxing conservatives in 2016. She can't compete. Her poorly researched. conspiracy choicing theories. They can't compete with this real and righteous indignation.
It's just not possible. And honestly, Kudos to the way that Erica Kirk addressed it. I don't think she needs to say anything else. to that grifter. No more pearls for swine after that.
There was an interview that Erica Kirk gave, too. This was a when she started promoting again Charlie's book. And you know, that's part of the contract, too. When you come out with a book, you promote it for that first week. And I know that she's probably really pushing to fulfill all all of those obligations.
She was on this book summit thing. It was the New York Times Deal Book Summit. This was Wednesday of last week. And she was asked. about The Second Amendment.
And you know, in light of what happened to her husband. And she outright rejected it. She said, It is not a gun problem. It's a human, a deeply human problem. And she said, You will always have individuals that will always resort to violence.
She says That she doesn't wish what she has endured upon anyone, and she says I support the Second Amendment as well. That right there. Telling you what, folks. That's pretty impressive. That's strength.
Candice Owens. Looks like a clown compared to that. That's That can't compete.
Next. Um Sweep the stage, get the Sam in at the Apollo and pull that clown off the stage. She's done. And it's su it's super powerful. Super, super powerful.
She also said this, too, because you know, they got this trial with this murderer coming up. This is cut 24. Listen to this. We have a trial coming up. Unfortunately, that trial is in a long time.
What I want to be mindful of for people is that This was a murder. This is not something that What I don't want happen is for this to taint the jury pool. I don't. I want my husband. I want justice.
for my husband more than any other person on the internet. Any other person in this world that was my husband and the father to my kids. We will make sure, and we have been. turning over every single stone. Going down every single lead.
So when these people say, oh, they haven't talked about this or done that, how do you know? You're not in those meetings with the attorneys and the prosecutors. You have no idea. And why? She just gave me an idea.
Would it, I mean, honestly, is it can we ask if Candace Owens is trying to help Charlie Kirk's killer by tainting the jury pool with her stupid, poorly researched, absolute trash rat conspiracy theories? That's fair. That's a fair question, isn't it? Super fair question. Maybe she can ask her gay husband about it.
Oh, don't expect. Don't Not even. I just get. You see someone who's hurting, and I see hurting. I see people trying to hurt, hurt people, and I want to go after the people who are trying to hurt, hurt people.
Aye, enough, enough. No more pearls before swine. We've had enough of the swine. Have we not? We want a fair trial.
We want a trial and we want this guy to capital punishment, I think, serves it best. But that was powerful. It's super powerful stuff. But I was thinking, like I said in the beginning, you know, um It's class, it's grace. And for the people who are saying, well, you know, she's out there an awful lot.
You know what? Let me tell you something. She is. In this industry, and because of the nature of things, where do you think that she can go to get a job if she needs one?
Nowhere. It's hard. It's hard when you are stereotyped as a conservative. Especially in today's world.
So strike while the iron's hot. Shore up. What you can for you and your family so that you don't have to worry about that in the future. I don't begrudge anybody that. I know, and for the people who get mad at her because she smiles when she's out in public.
I feel you know you must be touched. By luck to not know grief. You must not know what it's like to find just a moment of peace in a storm where you can just smile. You know, apparently widows are never supposed to smile. They're supposed to stay mired in their grief and suffering for forever.
That's what those people criticizing her are saying. I'm done with it. I'm done. I don't want to hear from a single Fecal bird. I'm not going to say the word I usually say.
Criticizing a widow. Leave it alone. Have class. Leave it alone. But I really do think that She's been prepared for this, maybe not knowingly.
Her whole life. I don't know if you've ever seen this. Oh gosh, what is the um Let me look this up. It's an M-Night Shyamalin movie. And it wasn't actually one of his more well received ones.
But I actually think it's brilliant. It was called Lady in the Lake. I'm not going to give it all away, but I really, if you've never watched it, you should. Because it gets You know, one of her interviews, she mentioned Nehemiah, which interestingly, that was my morning devotional. That's odd now that I think about it.
She mentioned Nehemiah when she was on. Fox earlier as an example of teamwork. And I'm like, holy cow, that literally was my devotional this morning. It's very Nehemiah-esque. Lady in the Lake and You have a group of people living in an apartment complex dealing with a supernatural event.
And every single person has their own eccentricities. And in the end of the movie It has the same revelation as like the usual suspects, you know? when the detective realized who Kaiser Sose actually is. You have that level of revelation towards the end of this movie where you see a great puzzle being placed piece by piece together before you. By all of these people's apartment complex dwellers, all of their little eccentricities.
Each of them you realize now that there was design in it. That there was a design in the way that they were all living here. There was design in the way that they have all of their little eccentricities. There was a design in the way that they do everything that they do and they've come to know everything that they know and they have the relationships with each other that they have. And it is a really humbling Awesome thing when you realize that and you look at this at the end of this film.
And I in a lot of these instances, I ha I see the same things. I see the same thing in this. There's certain things that happen in life, and it's always usually something tragic. But It is in the The victory of overcoming the tragedy that you see these things come into play. And that's what I see in this.
It's uh, you should watch that. It's a, it's a, when was it, 2012, maybe? Lady in the Lake, M. Night Shamelin. It's good.
Bryce Dallas Howard is in it. There's some really good actors in it. And it wasn't one of his most celebrated ones, but I think actually the message is one of the most powerful ones. He always does very thoughtful films.

Tonight's review: Hot Sauce. Eating this hot sauce is a fever dream. It's like. Acid turning my saliva into lava. I chug almond milk to cut down the heat and assume it's over.
But at 1 a.m. the sauce strikes again. It woke me from a deep slumber and sent me to the toilet. I took a runner's pose in the bathroom. I thanked my landlords for the tile floor.
The pain rustled my gut like an M16 bullet. Yeah. Spiraling about until finally. I woke up 30 minutes later. Then praying for the end, settled in calm.
But no, it rips the sheets off your bed, hurls you around in a fury once more, double-flushes the toilet, punches a hole in the wall. and leaves. Five stars, Aaron B.

Flows. We help you save. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Can I just say the song that we came in with, you can't listen to it if you're online because we don't have the licensing for that.
But terrestrially, it's Steeler's Wheel stuck in the middle with you. It's one of my favorite songs because it's one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. From Reservoir Dogs, and I mean, I just feel that scene so much sometimes, and I got it's so amazing. I just see it, and I got warm fuzzies, and I'm like, what? It's an amazing scene.
All right, so, well, I'm gonna die. Less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy across America. We're all gonna die.
Well, those of us who, the people who are like, I slept nine hours, you're a Martian. Sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is linked to a shorter life expectancy across all in the US. Wait, you don't believe it? No no no, I don't I'm a victim. You're a victim.
I'm actually surprised by you. Because they just, I don't know. I thought you would be one of the people who's like, I'm going to bring eight hours. No, I don't get eight hours. Oh my God, I dream about eight hours.
I don't think I could sleep for eight hours if I wanted to. I don't think I can sleep past seven. I think it's a thing. But they said sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is linked to shorter life expectancy. Sleep insufficiency ranked as the second strongest predictor of reduced life expectancy.
Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. And there you go. We're all going to die. Yeah.
Well, no, I mean, it's, do you just know that you, I think that people need different amounts of sleep. Different people need different amounts of sleep. Trump doesn't sleep more than five hours a night because he's also a Martian. And the people who sleep more than eight hours, I don't understand you people. You guys are like, you know, hibernating bears.
I don't get that. I got to hit like six, seven, maybe. Oh my gosh, did I just do that on. All right, we're done. Cut the camera.
We are so done. How did that even happen? I swear to you that Okay. Let's just move on here. Uh police are swapping suspect sketches for AI.
I feel like this is gonna go poorly. I think They started it in Arizona and they said the AI image, like, for instance, they had one image out, and it said this AI image is based on victim witness statements, doesn't depict a real person. See, I feel like you need it to depict a real person, though. Like, what? How is it?
I mean, it's no less of a sketch. It's actually probably a better way to do it. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that. Centuries-old payment method could disappear just weeks after pennies are retired.
What? Do you uh They said it hurts the old people. The checking services could be winding down. I haven't used it. I haven't written a check.
Everything's auto. I have not, and then I go check it every month. I have not written a check in forever. What do you mean? They want you to go digital with everything.
Yeah, but I obsess over everything. See, they're getting rid of checks. I don't like it. I'm like Mick Jagger with my finances like that. I just want to know everything.
So everything has to be like a promissory note? Do you want to just promise to pay somebody money? Do you like the checks? You've got to carry like a big bag. You got to carry it.
It's too necessary, you know?
Well, I know that the grandparents are going to be upset over this one. I mean, in our family, probably your family too. Senate Democrats have introduced a bill to block Trump from putting his face on the dollar coin. Is that a thing they need to be worrying about right now? I mean, I don't know if you guys have seen some of the stuff that's been happening in this nation lately, but I don't know.
It feels like something else. Oh, oh. Archaeologists found a cube-shaped human skull in Mexico. That's probably, you know what I think about this stuff? I get money python about it.
Like, what if somebody wrapped their head with, you know, cotton or something to make it shape like that because they thought it was attractive? And then here we are, all these years later, oh, it's a new brand of person. They're trying to figure it out at Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History. It's a middle-aged dude.
So they think that he actually molded his skull that way.
So thank heavens for some brains there. We got more in store. Stay with us. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. I haven't.
kept track with all of gro griper ink lately. Unless it just like comes up into my timeline. And I think this is for the people who are super hyper online because the rest of you who are normal people with all of your brain cells. You don't, God love you for holding down this sane line, holding it down. Like we, we need you.
protect you at all costs.
So I haven't really been following a lot of the griper ink stuff. Lately.
So, I haven't been able to keep track of who is responsible for killing Charlie Kirk. You know, he's got a book that has been planned. uh for some time that just came out. And He um His wife I know is doing the promo tour for it. Which can't be easy.
But um I'm looking, people have been very helpfully keeping track because, you know, can I just say, I think, and I haven't been talking a lot about Candace Owens because I just think that it's griftery trash. I mean, I just don't elevate someone who is a protege of Al Sharpton, who as recently as 2016 was literally had founded a website doxing conservatives and going after people. And then when they realized, you know, can make all this money being a Republican, then decided to become a Republican and apply the grift there. And that's all fact, by the way. That's all facts.
Some of y'all got taken in. I know. Uh But if you're keeping track, apparently she has accused everybody from the French government, the French Foreign Legion, the 13th Brigade specifically, Israel, Israel operatives, Netanyahu himself. Let's see, GIGN, Jewish donors, the US government, the feds, the FBI, Deep State, CIA, Turning Point USA, his own wife, Erica Kirk, Blake Neff, Pastor Rob McCoy, Josh Hammer, Freemasons, Yahoo, like the website, okay, the Bolsheviks, Egypt. I mean The list is lengthy.
Oh wait, that's right. The latest was the US military. Isn't that the thing that came out yesterday? She has no clue. She has no clue.
I mean, honestly, Candace Owens has made more bank off of Charlie Kirk getting killed than I think anybody else. It looks suspicious, quite honestly. It looks super suspicious. I have never seen anybody try to lift themselves up on somebody using someone else's corpse more than the gun control stuff. This is like, I haven't even seen gun control advocates.
Stand on dead bodies as much as I've seen Candace Owen stand on dead bodies to try to gain advantage for herself and elevate herself as she is on the legacy of Charlie Kirk. And that's fact.
So The next in the whole griper establishment, I came across this soundbite. And it does, it pains me to say this because we were always friendly. I would never consider us like best friends or anything. But I've known, I did, I used to do election coverage with Tucker before he had his own show at Fox. I remember when he had $3 million from Foster Freeze, who I met and knew, and he was fantastic.
This was back in the day when Daily Caller first was created. Tucker got money from Foster Freeze, created Daily Caller. And then now he has this Tucker Carlson network, which was founded with Muslim money, which is true. I mean, I'm not saying that as a pejorative. It's just true, I think.
You know, if you want to talk about dual loyalties or something like that, I think it's important when you have millions of dollars that create the company that you run. You know, I think there's kind of a question as to dual loyalty and something like that, since that's a favorite topic amongst the Grape Berry establishment.
So I saw this uh video fly past me. fly on my my timeline on X. And this is it, what cut is this? Is this cut 110 million? Yeah, we got it, we got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Thank you. He's doing. Is this not when he was speaking in Doha, right? This was like some other forum. And he was asked about Bill Ackman.
And people like Barry Weiss, Bill Ackman. And it and and you know, Ackman, he's this um uh hedge fund manager. He's a billionaire, super smart dude. His wife, I think, by the way, is like friends with Brad Pitt. There was like this rumor, fun fact, because his wife is beautiful.
There was this rumor that his wife was like Brad Pitt's girlfriend for a while, and it's just she's like this professor. She's an art professor, super pretty. And everyone was like, had all these rumors about Brad Pitt and Neri Oxman, and it's just Bill Ackman's wife. They're all friends. Anyway.
So they're on And he's he's Talking about I guess the media landscape in this forum. And this is what he had to say: listen. Pressive. Bill Ackman, same thing. Bill Ackman's worth like $8 billion or something.
It's fine. I don't care if Bill Ackman, whatever Bill Ackman does, but I know Bill Ackman, he's kind of dumb. He's not ever created anything. He's totally non-creative. How do these people wind up running our biggest institutions?
And the reason that's significant is because if you pay close enough attention and you realize that the people running everything are stupid. Then you think, well, actually, the system is truly rigged on behalf of people who do not deserve these positions at all. It's not just that I disagree with Barry Weiss or she's calling me names or I'm calling her names or whatever. It's like in no fair system and no meritocracy would Barry Weiss rise above secretary. Like actually, and I mean that.
I've been in this business my whole life. I've been in this business since Barry Weiss was breastfeeding.
Okay. There's no world in which Barry Weiss rises to the top of a news network except a rigged world.
Well, I mean, I guess he just can't imagine where anybody would rise up. To be the top of a news agency without Muslim money, I don't know. I mean, I'm just, you know, thinking out loud here. I thought that was a very odd thing for him to say. He sounds resentful and bitter.
And that's not a good look for anybody. Barry Weiss was at the New York Times, and she was very good at what she did. And she was very, I mean, she's more of a moderate conservative, but she made them all look like, you know, straight up Bolsheviks over at the New York Times. And she ended up being run out because she was too conservative for the old gray lady. And then she created the free press, and then that got purchased.
And she's made some really smart decisions. The stuff that she does gets a lot of traction. People are really sharing their articles. I mean, you can see the traffic online. And she didn't have to go out and get Qatari money or get Iranian money either.
Just a really quick, fun thing here, if you wanted to look at it, because it's also incestual.
So a lot of the money that came into creating the Tucker Carlson Network was from Omid Malik. Who is Pakistani and Iranian? And he created, he has a capital, a firm that's called 1789 Capital. And I think Don Jr. actually just joined.
And it's part of the Rock Bridge Network. He created it along with other people, including Rebecca Mercer, et cetera. They raised lots, they raised a lot of money, and he's been behind. a lot of the funding for the Tucker Carlson network. And also, what is it that um Nicotine.
Pouch thing, the Alp thing. No, but no, it's like that. Yeah, it's like the new thing, and they apparently they're a part of that. Cash Patel apparently co-founded or co-created that with Tucker Carlson, which I think is weird. It's just all so incestuous, but he got a lot of money from a foreign government or from four, he got a lot of foreign money.
In fact, a lot of payments through this, and I'm looking at, I mean, Axios had a piece on it, but also it's just open records. You know, I mean, there's you can go to Open Secrets and you can run all of the how the money shifts and you can research it all. There, for instance, some of the payments for acquiring different things for his company were run through a Qatari state investment entity. It's the Al Udeed Media Fund. That's where all of the accusations about Qatari money come from.
And uh I mean, it sounds like it's part. I mean, it almost sounds like it's part of like a government-coordinated media laundering campaign, honestly. That's kind of what it sounds like.
So I don't know if any of that's ever been disclosed publicly or discussed, but I just think that when you have things like that in your financial portfolio, maybe you should tone down your resentment of other people's success before you start lobbing bombs at them because they're Jewish. Because let's be honest, what do Bill Ackman and Barry Weiss have in common? They're Jewish. Right. They're the quote-unquote hummus eaters that Tucker Carlson talks about, right?
Isn't that what that is? I mean, it seems like the only objection is that they're Jewish. I don't know. I feel like if Israel had given him money, then he would be like singing the praises of Israel or something. I don't know.
I just can't. I can't explain it. It's very difficult when you see someone that you thought you at least kind of knew act in a way that is completely contrary to everything that you actually. initially assumed about them. I mean, it's just to say that these people are dumb, and Bill Ackman is not a dumb guy.
He is very, very smart. Financially, he's made a lot of Uh, really good decisions, some which might have seemed really risky at the time, but he knew what he was doing. He's made a lot of really good decisions, and he he's I he identified undervalued assets and he built this, you know, this company. Um, and Barry Weiss did something similar with a media entity.
So, to sit here and say that they are dumb, and then to try to like use your age over it, that she was breastfeeding when he was getting started, yes, and she didn't have to take Qatari money. I mean, she didn't have to be in the pocket of a government administration in order to find success. She didn't have to sell out in order to find success. She didn't have to turn and start, you know, repeating, you know, really, you know. Weird rhetoric in order to try to get a slice of the digital audience pie.
It just seems resentful and bitter. And You know, honestly, I think that that sounded silly and emotional. He sat, I mean, he sounded like an emotional woman. Oh, well, I guess since she was breastfeeding, I've been out here and She's further than you.
So what does that say? I mean, that's kind of a self-owned, is it not? Like what happens with people? This is why I hate DC. And Lorraine reminds me too.
What is this? Is this what we're talking about when. W it it sort of is. is Tucker hating America because he's criticizing other people, because people who criticize Tucker are accused of hating America. But remember, that only goes one way.
He can not even criticize. I don't even think either of those are fair criticisms. To call them criticisms means that I'm accepting that they have some form of logic and I just don't. It just sounds resentful and over-emotional. I i i It seems like he's violating the rule that he expects everyone to follow when it concerns him, but he doesn't want to follow it when it concerns everywhere else.
There's no enemies to the right thing. Seems like he's got an awful lot of enemies, and they're all Jewish, at least in his eyes. I find that incredibly sad. I mean, we live in an age where people can create media companies right and left. And you know, and they don't have to necessarily disclose everything.
And he's using his platform to do more to tear down the right than anything I've ever seen. I don't see any of the things. He hasn't been talking about any of these elections. Tucker Carlson hasn't had, he's not, hasn't been talking about any of these special elections. He's not talking about redistricting.
He's not talking about the lay of the land. He's having Nazi twinks on his show, and he doesn't have the balls to push back and actually ask serious questions. And all of the people who are just desperate to be in business with him, none of them have the balls or the spines. to point this out because they're terrified over jeopardizing business relationships. They don't want to jeopardize their ad network.
They don't want to jeopardize any kind of investment. They don't want to jeopardize any kind of association, professional association that elevates them in the digital sphere.
So they say nothing. And they pretend they don't see it. They say nothing. But this has done more to cause problems on the right than anything that I've seen from the left to date. We're all agreed that the left is crazy.
But now what I see are people, it's interesting because it's like right after Cutter gets involved, and Cutter's been spending a ton of money, we're not supposed to talk about that, we're supposed to obsess and have a fetish with Israel and APAC, even though they donate a pittance. They spend a pittance on lobbying compared to Qatar. And it's very easy to find these monetary amounts on this thing called the internet, but we're not supposed to talk about that. We're only supposed to talk about the Jews, and we're supposed to talk about Apex Bad, but we're supposed to celebrate Qatar. Work towards partnerships with Qatar.
