Finally, I'm so glad that Elena Zelenska is here because women are, women and children are the primary victims of conflict and of climate change and there is no place that I'm sorry. I have to interrupt her. This is so stupid. I'm so done with this.

First off, welcome back to the program. Dana Lashes here with you, your anti-feminist curmudgeon, obviously that's Hillary Clinton and I don't understand this line that somehow, what was it, that women are the primary victims of climate change. What the hell does that even mean? The weather affects us. Is that what that is?

I was attacked by the weather. My guess is that they think this climate change issue is, you know, a few years down the road. So they think that our kids are the only ones that are going to suffer from it. I think that's their thought process.

Well, she was saying that women and children, they were the primary victims of conflict and climate change. And I'm just like, how many dudes have dropped out around you? I mean, I think that, just saying, don't Vince Foster us, bro.

I just can't, these are such empty. Do people actually sit there and the ones clapping like seals? Is there anyone who really believes this? Or are they just like, say whatever you need to. We know it's all BS. We just want everyone's money. That's all it is.

You cannot honestly convince me that people are that, I mean, I understand some are, but not as many people as they think are stupid are actually stupid. Who sits there and applauds that? Oh, yes. Women are so affected by climate change. There was a thunderstorm, it was really mad at me the other day.

Didn't even rain on my husband. It was just me. I just, it doesn't make sense.

This is so stupid. They're prime. You know what? Women are the primary victims of Democrats. How about that?

So tight. This whole thing, this internet, what are International Women's Day, the women's is it women's month? Is it marches women's month? So it actually is. Okay. That makes sense.

I guess the international way. I don't know because I don't care. I think it's all lip service. The irony of telling everyone you need to celebrate women's month while telling women that they don't exist just is stunning. The first lady wore probably horribly, she's short waisted, so you can't wear the types of waists that Dolce and Gabbana do. And I realized that that's her favorite dress designer to wear apparently, except for the Minecraft dress that she wore with these god awful looking tennis shoes.

But I just, I really have a problem with that. Don't get a dress for your body type. I'm just saying, don't look frumpy.

Don't look frumpy. But the way that she awarded, it gave this women's award to this dude. And then now you have all the marketing, everyone makes this move and apparently if you don't kind of curtsy to the idea of women's month, then somehow you're sexist. But the audacity of the people who make up these fantasy rules are the same ones who tell you that if you don't accept men cosplaying as women, as actual women, then you're the bigot. It just doesn't make sense to me. You can't have it both ways.

You have to pick a lane. Now Juan asks a very, very good question. He asks whether or not men who identify as women, are they also disproportionately affected by climate change? Hmm. That's a very good question. I mean, really, I mean, do you think that the weather's out there looking down at everyone going, Hmm, that one's got a vagina.

Let's get them. I mean, just wondering about all this. Just kind of wondering. It is interesting. Lorraine notes that she hits that the in Ukraine, the women were allowed to evacuate and the women were not.

So that that's kind of that kind of argues against the idea that they were somehow disproportionately impacted over that more so than than men. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Now, this getting into all of this. You had the Glenn Youngkin the first off, I don't know why Republicans agree to do town halls with CNN. I can tell you a little something about CNN town halls. So Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia, CNN had a 17 year old trans student stand up and asked Glenn Youngkin about school bathrooms. You need to listen to this.

Nico? Governor Youngkin, your transgender model policies require that students play on the sports teams and use the restrooms that correspond with their sex assigned at birth. Look at me. I am a transgender man.

Do you really think that the girls in my high school would feel comfortable sharing a restroom with me? So first of all, Nico, thank you for again asking the question, being here tonight and engaging in this important discussion. I believe first, when parents are engaged with their children, then you can make good decisions together.

And I met your dad and I'm glad that you're both here together. That's really, really important. I also think that there are lots of students involved in this decision.

And what's what's most important is that we try very hard to accommodate students. That's why I have said many, many times, we just need extra bathrooms in schools. We need gender neutral bathrooms.

And so people can use a bathroom that they, in fact, are comfortable with. I think sports are very clear and I don't think it's controversial. I don't think that biological boys should be playing sports with biological girls.

There's been decades of efforts in order to gain opportunities for women in sports. And it's just not fair. And I think that's pretty that's that's non-controversial and something that I think is pretty well understood. I mean, we're talking about a place where you take a deuce, OK? This is not like we're treating the bathrooms like, you know, these are like holy relics or something like this is it's a holy sanctuary and you go in and down.

I mean, it's it's where you literally drop a deuce. Why are we acting like stop it and you still look like a chick. I mean, stop it.

I mean, that's would have been my again, why I could never run for office, because I would have said that, except I would have said, you know, I'm sorry, but you're talking about a place where you take a. That's what you're doing. Never take it. You always leave it. Yeah, that's right. OK. Yeah.

That's a place where you where you leave a. It's not. You're working with problems. Why is this such a big deal? Why is it such a big deal, though?

I just need to know. See, here's the problem. Now they want. It's about punishing people because they use the word affirm where you have to affirm someone's OK. And that just means you have to accept as they accept affirmation means you have to wholly now embrace their ideology. And if you don't embrace their ideology, tolerance is nonexistent with the left. They really don't believe in tolerance. They believe in full on full on practice and not even acceptance. Acceptance is too light of a word.

You have to wholly embrace their ideology as they do anything less than that they define as bigotry. I mean, this is I get the bathroom thing is so dumb. I mean, real simple.

It's a real simple question here, slick. You got a Frank and beans. You go to the Frank and beans bathroom. If you don't, then you don't. That's it.

And any questions? I mean, it's and it's it's sexist either way. You know, I've always said that if men feel uncomfortable in men's rooms, they're accommodated until that they can use women's restrooms. And then if the women feel uncomfortable, if the men are in there, they're called bigots.

This goes the other way, too. If a woman wants to cosplay as a dude. And she feels uncomfortable in the women's room, then they force the dudes to accommodate her.

What if the dudes feel uncomfortable? Shut up, dudes. It's sexist. You're upending the world for a tiny fraction, tiny little I mean, nobody has a right to a bathroom. Shut up. It's a bathroom.

Golly. Everything's a felony and they turn everything into a natural right. And everything that's a natural right isn't a natural right anymore. Well, you can't defend yourself, but you do have a right to leave a deuce anywhere in anyone's toilet at any time.

That's the trade off you're getting here. Anyone else like a little bit disillusioned by that? If you're a regular listener, then you've heard me talk about Kel-Tec and all the reasons why they're one of my personal favorites when it comes to firearms. Privately owned family company, Kel-Tec has been making one of a kind American made firearms since 1995. Driven by creativity, Kel-Tec doesn't just copy other weapons on the market. They innovate new ones, including the new P50. The P50 platform is based around a 50 round double stack magazine, which lays horizontally along the top of the grip.

The 5.7 cartridge comes in several variants from sporting, hunting, personal defense and with how easy it handles its smooth shooting because it's well balanced and thus accurate. You can definitely see Kel-Tec's reliability and quality at work. The P50 is fun on the range, but it's also great for serious home protection. To find out more about the P50 and all other Kel-Tec weapons and products, check out Kel-TecWeapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com, Kel-Tec, creating innovative quality firearms to help secure your world. Kel-TecWeapons.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five brought to you by Kel-Tec. So apparently there's an epidemic of e-bike fires ripping across the country. According to New York City officials, a supermarket and an apartment building were destroyed on Sunday due to a fire caused by an electric bike. The rise in reports of lithium-ion battery fires across the area is, apparently they say, an unintended consequence of the green mobility trend. Wall Street Journal had reported a New York City fire department revealed the number of e-bike lithium-ion battery fires had more than doubled last year to 216. They've injured 40 people and killed two so far this year. I saw one. It took like a whole firefighting crew to actually deal with one of them.

That's nuts. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized. He said he's apparently going to be being treated for a couple more days and treated for concussion. He tripped and fell at a D.C. hotel.

The 81-year-old remained in the hospital Thursday being treated for concussion, but he's expected to recover and then be back at work. So that's, man, that's a third senator's sound now. Come on. Tiger Woods' ex claims that he sexually abused her and she's suing him for $30 million.

It sounds like she's just looking for some cash, that whole headline. Sometimes I'm like, OK, the dude messed up. Now can you stop? I don't know.

But he also can pick some better chicks, I think. Let's see. This is, this is, well, this is a Maryland bill. This is WSBT that would prevent anyone from under the age of 25 being charged with felony murder. Yeah.

They, so like if there's a getaway driver and they kill a pedestrian while fleeing the scene of a crime that's still felony murder under current law. So the Democrats in the state want to remove that so that anyone under the age of 25 can't be charged. Are you going to also do that with voting?

You're going to make it where they can't vote until they're 25, too? Good grief. Where's some of this stuff? I just, I'm like, where are you getting the ideas for this insane, this insane legislation?

And the FDA, the FDA approved a Pfizer nasal spray for migraines that apparently supposed to relieve symptoms in 15 minutes. I don't believe it either. Stay with us.

We're in store. A couple of other things, a new low, do you guys see the story about Colin Kaepernick? Colin Kaepernick, who is a horrible player, which is why he's been out of the game for so long and he wasn't even a valued player when he was in the game.

He's completely overrated and he is mad that he wasn't worshiped as a star player. And then he has decided to interpret that as racism instead of having to confront the fact that he just sucks. So that's really ultimately the core of the issue here. You're welcome.

Free therapy. So he's now accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism and he called parts of his upbringing, quote, problematic. He has a new graphic novel called Change the Game and he told CBS News that he knew his parents loved him, but there were still very problematic things that he went through. And he said that his parents disagreed over his hairstyle. He wanted to get, he said corn roast so he could look like Allen Iverson. And his parents said that it wasn't professional, basically telling him he's going to have a harder time to get a job if he doesn't have a professional hairstyle. And he basically was like, that's racism.

You know what? When I was in college, I had shaved my head and I had piercings in my face. And my mom said that I was, I looked unemployable. I didn't realize that she was racist. Listen to this.

Audio sound by 21. I'm talking about it. That's crazy.

I know my parents love me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through. I think it was important to show that no, this can happen in your own home and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated. He took cues from his icon, basketball star Allen Iverson, who he said his mom was his parents were saying, look, you if you you have to have a professional, I know what they're saying, you have to have a professional hairstyle. And he's like, oh, that's racist. My mom told me, she was like, that's not, you can't have that in your face. It's unemployed.

You look unemployable. I guess she's racist. Who knew? Wow.

Anytime parents tell you that your, your parents may harm your job opportunities, who knew that was racism? Wow. So problematic. He's the male Meghan Markle. You know what? Except he actually did at least get in the big leagues on his own for a second.

I just, man, suitcase Kaepernick. That's right. I just, I can't even, this guy is so, when does he not bitch about something? Oh, woe is him. Oh, it's the NBA. Oh, it's all this other stuff. Oh, is this.

Oh, it's that. Now my parents didn't love me. They're so mean to me.

They wanted me to look nice and get jobs and be wealthy and do good. Oh, they're so mean. I mean, shut up. Gosh, you have such first world problems. First world problems.

I just, it just amazes me. There's like poor people with like one tooth together on meth sitting out somewhere in the backwoods that wish they could have these problems. Golly, shut up.

So tired of this. Everybody's mean to me. The cars are bad. Roads are bad. My parents just.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right. So first up. No, I'm not going to do that one. No, not doing that one either, dude. Let's do this one. This seems very, very.

First off, Florida man. Trevor. I'm not. He was like, Daria. That was literally this. The email. It was to the satana radio.

It said, Daria, Daria. Why? Oh no, I'm going to do it now. Now.

I feel okay. Florida man tries to assault woman in Brevard County and tripped. He had his stuff hanging out of his shorts and he tripped and it got bad.

I say this. He's been arrested and charged with several felonies, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, sexual battery, false imprisonment and robbery. So his name is Donovan Adkins. He tried to. He was trying to sexually assault a woman at gunpoint.

She refused and said, you got to shoot me first. And he had been apparently, I mean, it, it means she, she fought him and that's awesome. But the thing is, is that when it started, he apparently was trying to assault her with his stuff hanging out and he ended up tripping and it was bad. And apparently there was some stepping on some things. And I don't know, dude, dude, when don't ever, Oh my gosh, there's no way I can talk about this story. That was the dumbest way to approach a woman and try to assault her with a Franken beans already out because then you're just, she's going to just totally kill you.

She's going to Merk you. And that's exactly pretty much what happened. She stopped them. Yeah. Yeah. She didn't care that he had a gun or not. I mean, she just looks like you're going to be this stupid. All right. There you go.

Trevor, you happy now? The woman in a, in Florida found a 400 pound, 11 and a half foot alligator in her pool, her swimming pool that she swims in her pool. You literally have to look at every body of water. Now I found, I saw another story. It was a Florida story that it was from a couple of years ago though, but somebody found a gator in their attic. I don't even know, but they found a gator in their attic.

This woman, the Florida fish and wildlife conservation, they arrived to collect the gator 400 pound alligator, 11 and a half feet. That is insane. Absolutely insane.

Thankfully that, you know, they're all okay and they, they came and they, you know, they got Lee. Uh, let's see here. Oh, I can't do this one either. Nope.

Nope. Beach goers report an unexpected encounter with a fat naked Florida man again in Bradford County. Some Florida beach goers are describing surprise encounters with nudists at a popular stretch of sand in Brevard County says one lady. There are big fat guys laying there like this. She said demonstrating for the camera. I'm not even kidding you.

There's apparently no federal law addressing nudity on that particular beach because it's a national park, but there are parts where it is illegal to go nude Brevard Sheriff's office says, or just don't.
