Absurd Truth: Granholm's Road Trip

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. Tampa police are seeking a woman who sold a stolen parrot to a pet store. They're looking for some this this woman they want people's help. They said that two blue fronted Amazon parrots Tito 15 and Mama 20. They're that old. Wait, hold on. They live that long? Yeah. It's like if you were going to commit to a parrot, you got to like really commit.

Right. Jiminy Christmas. They were stolen from the porch of a house. Who keeps their parents on a porch?

In Seminole Heights, Florida. And they said that they're so they're seeking this woman. She took these two parrots.

I'm still trying to get over the ages. And she sold them to she sold Tito to a pet store. The owner recognized Tito had been stolen contacted the true owner. The other one who has a steel band on her left foot is still missing. They're trying to find her. I do hope they find that other parrot.

That's kind of sad. Anyway, they're saying that they're they're asking for information who may know the female in their video, your Tampa PD, etc, etc. contract crime stoppers. That's like a pretty specific theft. Isn't it like you steal someone's pet parrot?

I wonder if it's like the parrot in Shorzy. You can't. You can't play with that. I've been telling Kane and Steve to watch it and they won't do it because they're haters. Alright, so a I'm not read. Kane sent me one Florida man headline that I'm not reading.

I thought you do what you normally do and dance. There is no way to talk about this one. You've talked about stories similar to this in the Florida man segment. I mean, there's a whole new level of creepiness here.

All right. You know, do you believe that this guy's 46 in his mugshot? His name's Brendan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They say this guy is 46 years old. I do not believe it.

If you're watching the simulcast. All y'all talking on YouTube, y'all know that dude ain't 46 years old. That dude do not. He does not look like he's 46 years old.

No, no, no, Brendan Patrick McGonagall. He was taken into custody by Fort Myers police. Let's see. He engaged in some indecent exposure activities in front of people at the lodge while staring them down. So witnesses say that he entered the restaurant, asked for some water, and then began his indecent exposure activity while staring down everyone in the restaurant. Everyone in the restaurant. And then when police arrived, and they questioned him, he said that he really wasn't feeling well and just decided to do that there.

Oh, my gosh. So he's charged with two counts of indecent exposure. I don't know the law on this. But could you punch him in the throat? I feel like you could, right?

Just feel like that's something that, yeah, to be justified in this instance. Third hour on the way. As students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest and most prosperous nation in history? Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God given and not granted by government?

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, she set off on this four day electric vehicle road trip. It went, it was almost like an unintentional grand tour episode.

I mean, the only thing that would have made this better is if Jeremy Clarkson had been there wisecracking throughout the whole thing. So she went, she was going from Charlotte to Memphis, Charlotte, North Carolina to Memphis. And it was a four day trip, and it was supposed to draw all the attention of, you know, money and all this stuff that the White House wants to pour into these companies and, you know, which is totally not capitalist free market, but whatever. And she had a lot of problems with this, because she's, it just didn't go well for her. And, and I think, first off, you had to know that that was going to happen.

Number one, you had to know that that was going to happen. And then, two, it just, I think it's just perfectly is the avatar for this whole, the whole plan, the whole green new plan. It absolutely is.

So here we have, she started off, she started off with us. And it they had a lot of charging problems right off the bat. Like I think what I was looking at how well into it.

I mean, it's, I mean, it literally is like grand tour. They had to grapple with they said the limitations of the present. So they had this caravan of EVs, right? They had a they had a Cadillac Lyric, a Ford F-150, a Bolt Electric utility vehicle. And they were going to fast charge in this suburb of a Augusta, Georgia, right?

Grovetown. Well, then they get there. They saw that A, they're not going to have enough plugs to go around to charge their little cars. B, one of the station had four chargers and one of them was broken. C, the others were occupied. So then they tried parking a, the an Energy Department staff or tried parking a non electric vehicle by one of the working chargers to reserve a spot.

But that went down horribly. And a family called the police because they wanted to charge their car. And it was a hot day and they had a baby in the vehicle. So they called the police. And the police couldn't do anything because it wasn't by the way, how much of a sissy are you?

You are whining to the police because a gas powered car is parked in front of the electric charging port for the car for your EV. I mean, that's just such a first world problem. I want to endlessly mock these people, but whatever.

They all deserve it. So the sheriff's office had to tell this moronic family, it's not illegal for someone to park here, you absolute balloons. And so but this was the problem that she ran into, right. And so then they I mean, they they dealt with that they had a they had to just crazy. They had limited charge everywhere they went, they had either broken chargers, or they weren't able to charge fast, because you know, it takes it's not like 10 minutes or really like a couple of minutes, like if you're putting gas in your car. And it just kind of was a fiasco. It really was a fiasco. And everywhere they went, this is what was happening.

So it didn't, I don't think that you're actually selling anything. Because see, the the other problem too, is that Americans, I don't think take road trips like they used to. And a lot of people when they're in their vehicles, they're just kind of like driving around town, they're just doing like short commutes and things like that. So and that's you know, mostly what a lot of drivers do. And when I think it's easier for people to justify EV based on that usage, because you don't have to worry about plugging in overnight. But when you're talking about going on road trips like this, it's not practical. And there are real and legitimate concerns, just like her trip highlighted. And you can't say, oh, well, the infrastructure is lacking. The infrastructure is exactly in response to what the real market is. Not everybody's driving these damn EVs on road trips.

And things like that. They're just not and it's they don't consider it practical. And, you know, places where they don't have it, that people aren't going to have an overabundance of something where that you know, in an area where there isn't a need for it. So I think it's actually I don't think that there's anything wrong with the infrastructure.

I think that it is in I think it's directly proportional to what the market the real market is. But drivers, I think have every bit, you know, they want to know how, how was this going to work? If you go on a road trip?

Like, how are you? It's just not feasible. It's not practical. So she actually I think, undercut her whole mission.

It was funny. And she did I just it amazes me that neither her nor any of the people that were involved in her caravan. None of them thought ahead.

Like, well, what happens if we are out of an urban area and we are or suburban area and we are no longer near where we can easily charge etc. They didn't think about any of that. This is not stuff that they think about. Not not at all.

Hmm. Now, you've heard me rave about the Keltyke KSG shotgun for a long time. And the fact is, I cannot say enough good things about it. I mean, the KSG is the one that started it all made ordinary shotguns obsolete and still reign supreme.

But the big reason I keep raving about it is I'm also the proud owner of one at least. And trust me, I really put the KSG to the test before adding it to my collection. It's perfect for home defense.

or tactical situations. And this 12 gauge is a reliable go to that's easy to handle for everyone. The KSG shotgun is the first 12 gauge pump action shotgun chambered for three inch shells and with dual tube magazines offers a capacity of 12 plus one. It's downward shell ejection makes the KSG truly ambidextrous and eject shells away from your face.

It's compact, lightweight and easy to maneuver and control. Learn more about the KSG shotgun at Keltyke weapons.com and follow Keltyke on social media. Visit Keltyke weapons.com.

That's K e l t e c weapons.com. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. We let's see here. Oh, I said, I said yesterday that he was that Mitt Romney was retiring. That's actually I'm going to keep that verbal typo.

It stays I'm actually sitting here writing something on break really bratty on Twitter about Hunter Biden can't review bar that whole case. So Arkansas I said I told you yesterday was also pushing. Wait, I'm looking at the wrong thing here. I mean, I'm gonna go back.

I got some I got some other stuff. Millions of iPhone owners were warned over radiation levels in the United States. This is France bans a popular model. It's apparently it's the iPhone 12. That one. That's the one. Are you totally getting radiated right now?

I think are you getting the cancers could be get the cancers away. Dude, for real. That's an old phone. So wait, what? That phone.

That's the iPhone 12. Wait, let me tell you the story while I'm freaking out about this. Hold on a little bit of it.

I just lost it because I'm like I hit a button on my excitement out of what is wrong with me right now. Okay, millions of people they said in France, they banned this pop. They banned canes phone. Because they said it's the radiation levels are above the safe threshold. So they've been forced to actually take it off shop shelves by their radiation watch. They have a radiation watchdog. That's the La Parisian paper. They said concerning phones already sold, they have to take action, you know, they got to recall them, they should do that, blah, blah, blah.

They said that accredited labs discovered absorption absorption of electromagnetic energy by the body at five point, I don't know what any of this is. This means five point seven four watts per kilogram during tests with the phone being held in the hand or kept in a pocket. Men don't storm by your beans. Ladies, don't put them in your bra. You keep your phone in your pocket in the car. How do you do that? Who keeps their phone in their pocket in the car?

Why do you keep it there? I okay, this is like a whole segment. I just ran you through your headlines. And I didn't even mean to do that. But holy cow, we got to talk about canes phone, we got to talk about a whole bunch of stuff.

Stick with us. Transgender people have been around for a long time. And they have rights. And they need to be respected.

I read Miss Scanlon's testimony, I wasn't here to hear it. And I think Penn didn't deal with your situation like they could have and should have, and putting up some type of different barriers in the in the in the in the women's area of the locker room. But that's another issue. But things should be dealt with in a different way. This is an easy way for people to try to get points.

Pick on a minority group that is the most minority and least understood in our country. So this is Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee in Congress. And this is at the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government hearing on families who are being coerced and, you know, blackmailed about putting their kids through all this gender transition stuff, gender transition.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lesher with you bottom of this second hour. So Cohen says, Yeah, we need some type of barrier in women's locker room. My first thought was, Yeah, it's called a men's locker room. You mean like a wall and then another wall and then another wall and then another wall with a door in it.

It's called a men's locker room. But he inadvertently says, Yeah, we need some type of barriers. He didn't mean to do that.

He didn't mean to take the L but he did. I mean, that's, he admits that so they don't have to be in the same area as the dudes who are pretending to be women. Now, by the way, during this same argument in the hearing, this was earlier today, can we get the Chip Roy audio?

Because I I'd like for this to be my ringtone. He because part of this was they had athletes who were also on the swim team with Leah Thomas, talking about how they were, you know, forced and they had to take the basically behavioral brainwashing classes to try to make them feel more comfortable changing with a dude and swimming and being naked by a dude in a locker room. You know, who's pretending to be a woman.

This is Chip Roy on the floor of the house. Listen, and I'm going to keep saying it. I'm going to keep saying that Leah Thomas is a dude. And I'll say it here. And I'll say it on social media. And I'll say it on the streets. And if they dare try to stop me, that's what the First Amendment is all about. And we're going to stand up and defend that. And we're going to stand up and defend normalcy.

And women and defend women as well. I mean, this is the fact that you had, you know, Democrats who were forced to kind of acknowledge well, not kind of they were forced to acknowledge Yeah, this is what's happening. Yeah, maybe they should have a partition. It's called a whole other locker room. Whole other locker room. That's a I felt so bad for some of these women who were testifying to all of this, to hear what they had to go through, hearing what some of these kids went through. That's not informed consent.

It is shocking audio somebody 18. This is one of the female athletes. She responds to Cohen's remarks about the barriers in the locker room. Listen to this. Miss Scanlon, we just heard my Democrat colleague, Mr. Cohen say that your circumstance could have been fully resolved if we'd have just had some barriers up in the in the women's showers. Do you think that that's a sufficient way to resolve what we're dealing with here? I think by Representative Cohen admitting that we need barriers acknowledges there are biological differences between men and women. And by acknowledging that we need to have private spaces that are separate from each other. Why can't we just use the locker rooms that we've always used the men's and the women's?

If you're acknowledging that we need protection and privacy from these men, then you're acknowledging that the locker rooms we've always used are the correct ones. Boom. Boom. She said it perfectly. By the way, I love Gaetz's grin because he's like, I'm gonna totally ask you a rhetorical question. And you know the answer to it. But really, I'm just kicking Cohen in the jimmies. So here's the question.

She made a great point. Why not just use the locker rooms that you always can you believe? Listen to this. Everything is semantics. It's semantic Olympics. Well, how about how about some barriers?
