Absurd Truth: TikTok Testimony

Dana Lashes of Sir Truth Podcast sponsored by Kel-Tec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Man, half of me is saying, ladies, get you a man who's going to drive 100 miles per hour to get you to your Taco Bell interview on time.

And then half of me is like, don't do that, because that's reckless. And why does he have a suspended license in the first place? This is an actual story from Brevard County. So what happened literally just two days ago? Florida dude was driving 100 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour no passing zone.

He was taking his girlfriend to her interview at Taco Bell, one of my favorite fast food restaurants, by the way. This was on March 21. So according to the arrest affidavit, it began when Palm Bay police observed a Mercedes driving like a bat out of hell on a no passing zone. And the driver, 22 year old Javon Jackson, was allegedly attempting to pass a Palm Bay police unmarked patrol vehicle at the event. When they tried to pull him over, it allegedly passed another vehicle in the no passing zone before pulling over to the right shoulder. I mean, that does kind of sound like a trick move.

But anyway, anyway, I know. Police asked for his license. He said it was suspended. Another officer arrived on scene. They said you're going 100 miles per hour in a 40.

You can't be doing this. And they said that they apparently had three juveniles in the vehicle along with the girlfriend. They were not properly restrained. So he got citations for that. And then they charged him with reckless driving, habitual traffic.

Offender because the suspended license and child neglect that he just tried. He was trying to get his lady to her interview on time. I don't think she made it. I don't think she made the interview on time. But he was trying to get her there. He was trying his best to get her there. I will say that.

Run for the border. Yeah. Caltech innovation is back to back. You've heard me talk about Caltech's P 50 pistol. Now here comes the new nine millimeter P 15 carry pistol quality engineered. The nine millimeter P 15 carry pistol is the lightest, thinnest of its kind and Caltech's first strike or fire handgun. And as another first, the P 15 feature, a totally unique patent pending 15 round extended magazine. Now other features include ambidextrous grip, safety, reversible mag release and the hybrid fiber optic night sights with fully adjustable rear.

That all comes standard. It's from Caltech, inventors of subcompact polymer and now metal handguns. The P 15's gator grip texture on the polymer version increases stability and makes for easy, accurate handling, while the all metal version offers comfortable but positive traction and a really beautiful wood grip panel. The P 15 is the dependable firepower you need to secure your world. See the new nine millimeter P 15 first up close and personal at Caltech weapons.com.

That's K e l t e c weapons.com. TikTok surveils us all. And the Chinese Communist Party is able to use this as a tool to manipulate America as a whole. We do not trust TikTok will ever embrace American values, values for freedom, human rights and innovation. TikTok has repeatedly chosen the path for more control, more surveillance and more manipulation. Your platform should be banned.

I expect today you'll say anything to avoid this outcome. Like you are 100% responsible for what TikTok does. That you suddenly endorse a national data privacy standard. That Project Texas is more than a marketing scheme. That TikTok doesn't harm our innocent children. Yeah, that's Kathy McMorris Rogers, who is that's during the she's questioning that rep with TikTok, which is again, it's a CCP outfit.

This is not anything that's that is unknown to us. It's just I don't know why Democrats it's weird because Democrats, for the most part are kind of on the same page as a lot of Republicans, but not all you have the squad and those other folks. You have G Bowman or sorry, Jamal Bowman, who came out and said it was racist somehow. To call I guess it's racist to call communist communist because I guess he believes it.

I don't know this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But it is very, this is very it's a very revealing I think hearing I was able to watch some of it and give and and and I just feel like that that guy he's got a he's got a he's got to deflect. And he can't. I mean, he's he's just gonna he's gonna lie and tell them no, there's no CCP involvement.

There's no this. But there are there's the leaked information that we have that we know where they talk about it. Like apparently, one of the reps sitting on that hearing showed a video that was posted to TikTok before the hearing date and all of that was announced. Somebody on TikTok had it is weird. Speaking of TikTok. Welcome back to the program.

Dana last year with you bottom of this first hour. Hold up. Where's my weird story?

I got it since it's involved. TikTok. A TikTok time traveler says that aliens are going to invade Earth today.

Today, where they at? What am aliens at? Show us some aliens. That's apparently Yeah, there's like these. They there's, it's this thing. It's I don't know. It is a TikTok. TikTok time travelers.

I don't know. It's like people who I guess get on TikTok. And they act like they're, you know, from the future.

So it's kind of stupid. But there was one that said, aliens are going to invade Earth. Yeah, and that another alien is going to intervene. And it's an alien from a planet that the mean aliens had fought and killed most of the people on that alien planet. But this alien survivor felt bad for us. And he's supposed to intervene. But only 8000 of us are going to live and he's going to take or whatever the alien I don't know, is going to take us back to a different like, or somewhat Earth like habitable planet. And that's what's gonna happen. Yeah.

His world was destroyed by the hostiles. He's going to save some of us. So it says it's March 23.

Today's March 23. So 8000 people are gonna that's sounds like a great value version of the rapture. It sounds like a movie that I've seen before. In a way too, right? Doesn't it sound? I think I've seen this movie before. Just saying it sounds like also maybe some people were what have watched, you know, I think some people play too much Halo.

Maybe that also. I don't I'm not on TikTok. I won't get on it. I just at some point. So here's the I used to be on social media a heck of a lot more than I was. And then at some point, I don't know what happened. Like over the past, you know, five or six years, I just started to hate it.

Right? I used to share more personal stuff. And then whenever when when I had people writing news articles about what kind of birthday cake I gave my kids, you know, it was in USA Today and Hollywood Reporter, what kind of birthday cake I made my one of my my husband, and but we're notorious foodies. I cannot decorate cakes. So my husband is the cake decorator because he's way more artistic. To me, I can't even draw like a stick person like with any kind of competency. So I can bake and I can do all that real well.

But no, no. So he decorated a cake to look like a grenade. Right? It was for my son's like a few years ago for my my son's birthday. And oh my gosh, the media lost their minds.

Of course, Dana Lashley's kid has a cake for his birthday grenade cake. And they just and I just I don't know. I think at some point, I was just like to hell with all of you, you know, all with all you people.

And then I just I don't know. And then the influencer thing got really bad. And everyone's hawking the same products.

You guys have seen this, right? You can't get on Instagram, all the damn trends are the same. Everybody has like, for instance, and I see them pop up. Like if I just go to explore, if you look at like a couple of different pictures, then Instagram thinks that that's what you'd like.

And it's only going to show you that. And it shows you all I looked at a friend of mine just because I was being nice to her and I liked her thing. And she was like, she, I guess, it sells a lot of things. Homewares or something like that.

And it's the all white thing is not my palette. And all of a sudden, I started seeing all these posts on Instagram. Everybody had the same damn beads with the tassels on them.

What is that about? Like, there's just weird things that pop up everywhere. And I'm like, you guys are all selling the same crap made in China. Stop.

Everybody goes to Hobby Lobby and then they act like it's shabby chic. Shut up. It's not. I don't know. I just got tired of it.

It just seems so contrived. So I haven't been on it. I'm not on it like I used to be.

And I definitely don't share the same amount of stuff like I used to. Just, I don't know what it is. You know, it's like, I can't describe it.

A malaise? Maybe? You're not really, you don't really share a lot on there at all. I never have really. I never really have liked social media that much.

Now, it is great to surf and, you know, look at different pieces of content, gather some audio and videos for the show. I like memes. I'm not a big fan of the social media. Yeah, nor am I. Nor am I to say that. So I don't know.

I just I'm not. But I saw this protest that they had in front of the Capitol. They were Democrats and they had the G Bowman, sorry, Jamal Bowman.

He was out there. He's the rep who came out and said, the New York rep who came out and said that any kind of criticism of TikTok was racist, etc. Which we know it's not. And he was the one who came out and said all that stuff. Like, listen to this.

This is audience number 17. This is him. This is Bowman at this protest. This is like yesterday. This was him at this protest, where he was he was going on and on about he's defending TikTok. Listen to this. As we know, Republicans in particular for the love have been sounding the alarm, creating a red scare around China. Oh, my gosh. They've been doing it in a variety of ways when it comes to economic competition, when it comes to semiconductor manufacturing, and when it comes to technology.

In terms of TikTok's behavior and its and its risk to national security, it poses about the same threat that companies like Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and Twitter pose. Is it really a red scare if they're actual communists? Can I just say it? He's a dumbass. You know what, we sit here and talk about competency tests for for old boomers that are running for office. How about just a basic IQ test for anybody running for office?

Because I don't know if that dude would pass. I'm just saying because that was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The red scare was about innuendo. This is not a red scare when they're like, yes, we're actually literal communists. It's not a red scare when their party's name is literally the Communist Party of China. That's I mean, that's literally their party. It's not a red scare when they have a hammer and sickle as part of their their their logo or their country's logo.

Or their country's representation. How is that? They're saying that they are.

There's nothing there's no there's no fear mongering. That's what they are. I mean, it's just wild.

Absolutely wild. So they, and it's not just also Republicans, there are a lot of Democrats. It's just the squad that's not, but they had all these other people up there with Bowman. Some of them, I guess, were content creators on TikTok. And Cain makes a good point. China doesn't own Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. So and Twitter is not even in China, because China doesn't allow it. They have their own version of Twitter. So they had all these other content creators and all this.

And they were saying that banning TikTok, one of them said banning TikTok is about preventing wealth creation for younger generations. I'm not joking. That's what are use your neck. Okay, Cain whiplash.

Are you okay? Yeah, right. Cain, if you're against TikTok, you're against wealth creation for for younger generations. Because there's no other I mean, you could go out and get a regular jobby job. But that's, you know, it's easier to sit on your ass and make videos of yourself.

I guess I don't know. Not every not everyone is a content creator. We have way too many content creators. We have way too many influencers. You know, you are not owed an audience that's going to be the next thing that comes up. There are too many people talking about too many irrelevant, dumb, boring things. Nobody cares. So nobody cares, right?

Time for Dana's quick five. Well, oh my goodness. They they said crawl into bear dens, trust their co workers will keep them safe. They, I guess they're looking they're investigating wildlife damage, all this kind of stuff dealing with animal problems. And I guess that seems like the most dangerous thing to do what I don't know what the insurance is going to be like on that. I'm just just just just saying, I having also had a slap fight with the chimpanzee.

I totally understand this. A dad punches two monkeys because they attacked his son at the beach. Although you maybe they were I don't know, someone said, Well, are they hugging him? No, I don't think so.

Travel influencers how for the love. They were in Philippines visiting monkey beach. And they said that their five year old son, they were with their kids. And their five year old apparently, that one brother was trying to shoo the monkeys away, and they just like apparently descended on him. And the dad said that he punched two of them.

They look like the what is it like the macaque monkeys, the smaller ones? Yeah, so they said that he got bitten by one. And so he's he had to get rabies shots, apparently. That's wild.

So I guess these are weird headlines right now. Then there's also the man who woke up, according to Yahoo News, a man woke up unable to walk. It turned out vitamin B 12 was inactivated in his body after he took laughing gas.

Vito Olivera 34 first use nitric nitrous oxide. And he said that that afterwards, apparently it just rendered vitamin B 12. It was like inactivated in his body.

He couldn't walk as a result of that. That seems like a really weird side effect. This is like the whippet stuff, basically, right? Is that that's kind of like what it is? Yeah. See all kinds of stuff you got to be careful with. I mean, you I should have to tell you to not and just inhale gas like this.

But you know, we did have to tell baby millennials to not eat Tide pods. So there's the world. Welcome back to the program.

Dana lash here with you. I want to play this audio from Kamala Harris. It's part of our days of our United States, but we had some wires cross here. Play this video because this was I don't even is this a Women's History Month thing?

I don't even know. So during Women's History Month, we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history, who saw what could be unburdened by what had been. What in women's history hell was that? Why does she keep doing by the whole what might have been thing? Can I hear it again?

Who's writing this? So during Women's History Month, we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history, who saw what could be unburdened by what had been what that's a phrase that she likes to use to be unburdened by what could have been didn't isn't there like a video montage where she says this over and over and over again? It's Yeah. Oh my gosh.

I can't. Yeah. Yeah, she had said that our fight is born out of what we know can be unburdened by what has been she says she's been saying that phrase for years. Of it this Oh my gosh, there was in 2019 2020 a vision to see what can be unburdened by what what has been Oh my gosh. And then the historic Women's History Month. I need they're celebrating the women who made history, you know, throughout history. They were making history as the history is happening because they were making it. It was happening.

And they were they saw what could be in burdened by what had been Oh my gosh. Who does someone hate her? Who told her that is this? I don't do she she has to write this herself. Right? No one's as bad. Come on, guys. Vote vote show of hands. How many of you think that she writes this by that she writes this herself or that she is a speechwriter?

If they're paying somebody to write this stuff, they need to fire that person. Oh, if I were her, I would drag my speech writer out to the parking lot. And I would beat them to almost death with my flip flops. It wouldn't just be one in one hand, I would have to I would be dual wielding flip flops.

I would be dual wielding flip flops. This is embarrassing. Do you think that at any point she's like, I said this a lot. Oh, my gosh, I can't.

I just want to just look. I just keep going back to this quote. The women who made history throughout history. I mean, the best time to make history is throughout history. Uh huh. To be unburdened by what has been by unburdening it from what it had been throughout history by making it really, truly historic times that we live in to make the history as we're living in them.
