Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right. I saw a couple of really crazy Florida man stories that I'm going to just bypass right over right now.
Let's do this one.
So, this guy, an Apple AirTag, led to the arrest of a Cape Coral man accused of stealing a Jeep from a gas station.
So, I have a love-hate relationship with those things because I think they're incredibly helpful in certain aspects, but I also think that's a way that you can be like preyed upon, right? Yeah, technically. Yeah. I mean, anything. I mean, you can use anything as nefariously if you want to, but you're right.
It weirds me out. I mean, this was a story where it helped out the victim. Rather than help create, because I've read them, I've read like in stocking situations, like they're used in stocking cases. A Cape Coral man stole a car from a gas station, and then Cape Coral. Officers responded to the gas station.
It was a black Jeep Wrangler. And the victim said he was inside the store. Vehicle was stolen. He had an Apple air tag attached to his keys and it pinged at the resident.
So apparently the guy didn't know what it was and he just left him on the keys.
So yeah, they got the guy. It was like one of the easiest, that seems like one of the easiest investigations ever.
So in some of those instances, yeah, I do think that it's like, it's very helpful, right? Maybe you could put like an apple, hide an apple tag in your vehicle and things like that. But then at the same time, would that encourage vigilanteism? Because would you, I would all call the cops and then also respond myself? Yeah.
That's me. I legit would. I would be rolling up with... maybe one eighth of my gear. I'd l I'm not kidding you, I'd be rolling up and being like, Why'd you steal my car?
But you know. Uh, let's see. A Florida man called 911. I can't actually, well. He says there's a big blank Python.
At my door, Big A Double Snakes Python. Riviera Beach. In Florida.
So a guy. Tries to go out the front door of his townhouse, but he can't because there's a giant python stretched across the walk. He doesn't know what to do, so he calls 911 and he says, Oh my gosh, there's a big blank python blocking my exit.
So the Riviera Beach Police responded. They found two men trying to handle the situation themselves. One had a shovel, one had a gun.
So they took over the rescue operation and they got it. They got the snake out, but that's actually hysterical. And that was a huge snake. It did take all two people to do it. The Pollywood stuff.
All of the Pallywood stuff. I don't know if you guys have seen some of this because you had. This Uh Narrative that the US had bombed a girls' hospital. And as it turned out, it was one of their dippy made like rockets that did. Did you guys hear that story?
They were trying to say that the United States did it. Oh my gosh, look what the United States did. And then all the media was running with it. MSNBC was running with it. Everybody was running with it.
They bombed this girls' school. and try to blame the United States. And then it took what, two days for the truth to come out, but then it would only get like as ha like maybe a quarter of the attention that the lie did. But they were blaming it. They said, like this: this is Al Jazeera, which, by the way, is owned by Qatar.
Quote, Iran holds mass funeral for girls and staff killed in the U.S.-Israel school attack. The girls' school targeted was deliberate. They went on and on and on about this. It is all over. It is all over.
And there are still, some people are still doing it. There are anchors, there were news, there were commentators and podcasters that were all repeating this. But as it turned out, It was an Iranian. Rocket. We don't target civilians.
In fact, that's what Caroline Lovitt had actually just said. And this she's held a press availability. And no, we did not target a girls' school. This was one of the first questions that she was asked about, actually. I'm going to put this in Slack.
Because this is how far this went, and this is the media that's asking this question to perpetuate this false narrative. And as it turns out, It was an Iranian rocket. That Iranian munitions, if you want to talk about their shoddy manufacturing. That's what did it. If we can play what I just dropped in there, that would be So yeah, they've been blaming the United States.
The IRGC blamed them. They said, oh, this is the United States. They'll pay a heavy price. But It was in southern Iran. And it was Their own, they had to admit, the Iranian foreign minister had to finally admit it.
Go ahead and listen to this. Did the United States airstrike a girls elementary school and kill 175 people? Not that we know of, Sean. And the Department of War is investigating this matter. And I would just tell you very strongly, the United States of America does not target civilians, unlike the rogue Iranian regime that targets civilians, that kills children, that has killed thousands of their own people in the past several weeks, and uses propaganda quite effectively.
And unfortunately, many people in this room have fallen for that propaganda.
So I would caution you from pointing the finger at the United States of America when it comes to targeting civilians because that's not something that these armed forces do. Reagan. Yeah, it was an Iranian, not a rocket, I should say a missile, it was an Iranian missile that actually misfired. And it hit that girl's school. Yeah.
Gavin Newsom went out. And promoted this.
So now you're going to start seeing that. Uh these community notes on a lot of these posts. Because I mean, this is crazy. The IRGC blamed them, but it literally was a misfire. from Iran.
Now you say it was intentional, not a misfire. I do. Why is that? You think well, because I've seen them so far, this isn't the only one. They have several different cities in the region, several different areas that.
Either all of them are the mistakes, or they're targeting their own people. They're targeting citizens of their enemy, too, just over the borders. They did this back in 23, after October 7th, because they were trying to say that Israel bombed what hospital was it? They bombed a hospital and it killed 500 people. But as it turned out, and this was confirmed by the Pentagon, it was actually an Islamic jihad rocket.
It was one of Hamas's stupid little rockets. And it wasn't a hospital, but it hit a parking lot. And it was a parking lot that was like half a block over from the hospital, and the hospital wasn't actually touched. It was the parking lot. And they just made up the number of casualties.
They couldn't even actually confirm that there were any. That is insane. These terrorists make up these numbers in order to push the propaganda, like what we're seeing right here, where our own media is asking our press secretary about a false story that's been around the world twice before the truth got out of the way. By the way, do you know, too, that the elementary school is close to an IRGC base? Like right by it.
Now I realize that sometimes that happens, but That's purposeful when it concerns. Iran, Islamist, Iran, Gaza, Hamas. Because they use that, they put their headquarters and their munitions and all of this specifically in civilian-sensitive areas to use them as a shield. That's a war crime. This is not just organically located.
They do it on purpose.
So, it was Iran, not the US. And that's a number of a million war crimes that Iran has committed. You know how most makeup makes you look done, but not necessarily like yourself?

Alright, alright, alright, alright.
So first up. This What is this? What is this? It's an airplane seat that has people very upset. It's called the Cheek Splitter.
The Cheek Splitter 9000. It's, yeah. There were 8,000 more? What? There were like eight versions of this before?
Apparently.
So apparently. This was on a flight. Is this Japanese flight?
So, they have like a hump right in the middle of the seat. Why? I don't know why this is. They said it's to keep. Apparently, somebody said it's to keep homeless pilots from occupying the cockpit.
I don't know. They, they, I don't even know what. What is this? I don't know what I'm looking at. I don't understand this seat.
They people said that they were perplexed, but it's been on a number of like airline seats. It's the bifurcated butt pad, apparently. I don't know, but they said that it's a quirk of aviation safety, and it's you know, basically the said chair is permanently out of service and nobody can ever sit there.
So, why would you not just move the seat entirely? And they said that it's the first, usually the first row of coach, and it's a blah, blah, blah, safety concern.
So, instead of just they just put that, they put that there to like as a barrier so no one sits there. Or yeah, or you could just put don't sit here on it instead of that. I don't know. The cheek splitter. Oh my gosh, man, Donnie wants to raise revenue by ticketing New Yorkers and everybody else.
So they want a speed camera operator, all of this stuff, what temporary tags, red light, oh, they just got a red light camera that inked a $1 billion deal with the city. Wow. And they said, well, they lose tens of millions in unpaid fines because, you know, the company that runs our Red Light cameras, they can't catch cars with temporary tags.
So now they're going to tax, everything's getting taxed. Everything's getting fees, every I. How are people still there? How were they there during COVID? How did they, everybody that I think had since left during COVID?
A United Airlines plane burst into flames at an emergency LAX landing. Evacuation was ordered. That, that's never good. They were able to get it under control. They got everybody out.
They said all 256 passengers and 12 crew members were. They used the slides. They slid out of the plane. That had to be kind of somewhat fun. Only one injury, somebody cut their finger, but that was it.
Everybody else is okay. Let's see. Billy Idol says smoking crack helped him quit heroin. Yeah. Oh.
But you're on the crack though. Yeah. Okay. But you're not on the heroin, but you are on the crack. It's a documentary called Billy Idol Should Be Dead.

And so they specifically targeted Dallas County and. I think we all know why.
So Um I want you to enjoy yourselves. But I won't be back tonight because I have no idea of when we're going to get results, and I fully anticipate. It won't be until tomorrow.
Some And I love y'all. Thank you so very much for being here. Love you down. I love you down, Dallas. This is so dumb.
This is such a dumb That was so dumb for her to say, Welcome back to the program. We were able to extricate my eyeball from the attack of the fuzz, by the way. It's just like, I don't know what it is. I'm so blinded. I'm like, oh my gosh.
So thank you guys. Um Just a little drama to start the day. What's, you know, what's new?
So. First off, I feel like I got to remind everybody: whatever county, so Dallas County is run by, what party, Kane? What party runs Dallas County? Democrats, thank you. And Democrats, when they take over these precincts and when they run the party, when they're head of the party and they run the elections.
They are the ones who determine the voting machines, the setup. Uh, they and and as somebody who has volunteered before to like poll watch in that, that's the way that this works.
So, the party that is in charge of that county they run. The elections, right?
So that's the party that dominates. They're the ones who win the local and municipal elections to run these or to run the elections, essentially. And if there is a problem with it, then that is the party that's running it. The people that are running it, that is the problem. It's not, Republicans aren't able to go in and cheat.
That's not how this works. They're not able to go in and mess with that. This is, Dallas County should have done a better job running their elections. I was looking at, I'm just gonna pull up, this is the story that I had.
So The What they were trying to argue They were saying that people were showing up to the wrong polling places. And they were trying to blame the Republican Party for it. And this is all It started so the narrative started with the left on social media and their little websites, and then it just went all the way up.
Now it's you know you it's some leftist media entities are reporting it. But they're saying that they had different precincts. and they had different polling places.
So the problem is that they weren't informed. And they were trying to say, well, it was the Dallas County Republican Party that, no, no, no, hold up. Who runs the elections in this county? It's Democrats that run the elections in this county.
So, if you are upset with how your elections were run, then you need to talk to the party that was in charge. In my county, it's Republicans that run it. And if you noticed, in every single one of these areas where there's always A complaint about voting or clarity or lines or operational machines, any of that. There's one common denominator every single time, and that common denominator is that. It's a Democrat.
It's a Democrat. run election every single time. Every single time. She only has her own party to blame. And here's something else, too.
If you want to look at some of the key takeaways to this, and I'm pulling up my. Giant mound of notes because I was making a lot of notes last night. She wasn't just beaten. She was clobbered. She didn't just get beaten.
Let's not men's work. She was absolutely destroyed in elections. I mean, in a lot of the count, in a lot of the areas, she did well in urban areas, but that was about it. In, like, in and around. Uh She just did horribly.
She actually did bad. I'm looking at let me pull this up.
So, in some of the more, in some of the blue precincts, she actually ended up getting beat in some areas by double digits. In Travis County, which is a very, this is like out, this is, you know, like with Austin and that. Travis County, very interesting because this is an area that typically, you know, they'll go moderate. They'll go with Democrat primaries, they always go for the craziest Democrat, right?
So this is like where Austin is.
So, this is an area she should have done incredibly well at.
Well, in this is an area that's considered a bellwether, right? Austin, in terms of primaries for Democrats, it's a solid, reliable blue voting area. It is a solid, reliable, progressive Democrat voting area. Bernie Sanders won this primary in 2020. In fact, it's always the most leftist candidate in a primary that wins, especially all the way up at that level, presidential level.
Bernie Sanders took this. I mean, it's. Trump never does well in this county. She, let me look at this. She ended up with only 23% of the vote compared to James Tallarico, who came in with 76% of the vote.
In fact, the third party candidate, Ahmad Hassan, only got 735 votes in the bluest county in Texas, Travis County. Blue, blue, blue is the day long. Tallarico got 103,985 votes. Jasmine Crockett got 31,989 votes.
So it's not She just got beat every she d wasn't leading anywhere. She didn't lead anywhere. She was just utterly destroyed everywhere she went. And this wasn't anybody that cheated, it was because her own party is rejecting her. Her own party is rejecting her.
They don't want her. And here's something else to consider. And I made this point. Uh When I think it was we were talking about Tallerico and Uh Pete Budderjuice and who else? John Aussoff, Bet Beto O'Wourke, All of these guys have this appearance of being a moderate, but their rhetoric is still insane.
So if you listen, I mean, there's a lot of flashback audio of Tallarico going around right now. Uh but The Rhetoric that he has. If you don't listen to what he says and you just turn the volume off, he looks normal. Actually, let's do that for a moment. Let's just play, just no sound right now, just play a video of him.
Because his mannerisms, I'm telling you, even the far left, it doesn't, I'm not talking about race or anything else, the mannerisms of the left and the anger that they have on their face. Is insane now? Just ignore the words at the bottom.
Now, look at him, he looks like. He looks like he's he's innocuous, right? Look at him he's not wildly gesticulating. He's looking at everyone. There's no riot.
I mean, it's, you know. Uh all of this He looks like he's a normal, dare I say, normal guy. But he's not. When you listen to what he says, you're like, holy cow. Who is this demon?
All right, now we can listen to it. Because he's talking about how God is non-binary and that abortions are in the Bible and all this insane nonsense. It's crazy. God is both masculine. And feminine.
and everything in between. God. is non-binary. Yeah. That's not what that means.
That's not, oh my gosh. No, I mean, they were created man and woman. The Bible is incredibly clear about all of this. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
