This is they're a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And the only thing that they care about are merit and character. They don't care about color, sex, any of that stuff. They care about the strength of character, ability and intention. And they also believe in America's great heritage of liberty. They get the difference between conservatism and republicanism as the party. And they foster open and honest debate.

Is it USA Today? I'm pulling it up. I have it up. Actually, I have a million 110000 windows up. Why?

I have a four and a half foot wide screen. Why? I don't know if you saw it, but they had this story. editorial by Hunter Biden. I first saw it from tater, or sorry, Brian Stelter.

This is mean of me. potato, Brian Stelter. Hunter Biden said, quote, what troubles me is the demonization of addiction, of human frailty, using me as its avatar, and the devastating consequences it has for the millions struggling with addiction, desperate for a way out, being bombarded by the denigrating in your constant coverage of me and my addiction on Fox News. Because see, everybody but Hunter Biden should have consequences. Except for him.

Everyone but him should have consequences for lying on a 4473. I'm Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Don't you dare talk about Hunter Biden enriching himself off the CCP at the expense of natch national security engaging in human trafficking, violating gun laws violating the Farah Act.

You're demonizing his coke addiction. How dare is thou? This is the most Oh, my gosh.

He literally this published today. Lit lit this. Oh, my gosh, the headline cane I need something I need a stress doll the one where its eyes bulge out.

Note to self, stress doll. Hunter Biden, I fought to get sober. Political weaponization of my addiction hurts more than me. He wrote that. My struggles and my mistakes have been fodder for violence, sustain.

He's mad about the criticisms against this family. This is listen, Oh, no, no, no, let me read it to you. Today and Hunter Biden, it's like that. This is like the my grandma's afternoon stories.

So he writes this. Over four years ago, I chose a life over the slow strangled death grip of addiction, which in my case consisted of a day each day of a bottle of vodka, and as many hits on a crack pipe as possible. I'm prouder of that choice and of my recovery than anything I've done in my entire life. My family Oh, and then he gets into my struggles and my mistakes have been fodder for a violent sustained disinformation campaign against my father, and in all out annihilation of my reputation through high pitched but fruitless congressional investigations. Well, they're still ongoing their champ, and more recently criminal charges for possessing the death of my father. They're still ongoing their champ, and more recently criminal charges for possessing an unloaded gun for 11 days, five years ago, charges that appear to be the first of ever of their kind brought in the history of Delaware. But he says you're denigrating addiction, what you're demonizing addiction and human frailty by using me as its avatar.

I can't First off, can I just go back to the one? I mean, he only as a drug addict illegally possessed a gun for 11 days. I mean, only probably blew cocaine off it. I don't know. I thought it started cooking.

What got rid of it? Oh, yeah, his sister in law lover threw it in a trash can across the street from an elementary school. Golly, he is saying that you can't criticize him because if you I my crimes that I committed are the same thing as the addiction. If you denigrate me, you're denigrating addiction. That is the worst logic ever.

Do you know why it's the worst logic ever? Because he's exploiting addiction to dodge accountability for his crimes. I've known at it. I've known addicts. I've had addicts in my family. Not all addicts sell out their country to the Communist Chinese Party to enrich themselves. And not all criminals are addicts.

He chose to do that. And now he's going to try to say that you can't you can't hold him accountable or criticize him for because because of his addiction. I wouldn't be surprised if his logic is maybe I should try to avoid more accountability by keep doing the drugs. That way I am an addict.

You can't you're denigrating my addiction, instead of in the past tense make it current. Hmm. I mean, I've heard some stuff before. Isn't that like one of the first steps of recovery is to accept responsibility for the actions you choose to make?

I mean, it seemed like and someone else made this point. He didn't really show any interest in getting sober until the fit, as they would say, hit the Shan. Right? Can't you can't talk about how he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He is addiction, though.

You can't talk about him being a illegally in possession of a firearm. He only had it for 11 days. Five years ago. I mean, come on.

Jiminy Christmas. I am pretty amazed. He actually had he actually wrote this whole entire editorial about that. But he just admitted to it. He admitted to a crime. He admitted to all these crimes in this city. What a stupid moron.

I mean, goodness. And then he tried to go. He tried to get into his mom's suicide. What I thought she was going on. I guess she ran on purpose with her kids in the car in front of a oncoming truck. Interesting.

Because see, remember how Joe Biden went around and was saying that his wife was killed by a drunk driver and the guy wasn't drunk at all. His wife just didn't stop at a stop sign. Huh? Huh? He gets mad and says that people posted altered nude photos of him. What was he good looking before? Did they just make them ugly? Like I don't understand.

Like what? Did they Photoshop clothes off of him? That all came off his that all came off his laptop.

The FBI confirmed it was his. Oh, my gosh, he hits everything. He hits about his brother. He goes into everything like all of these things are why you should not hold me accountable for any of the crimes that I chose to commit. Because of the drugs. That's why I think what he's doing, actually sets back addiction and people who are trying to deal with addiction. That's what he's doing. Because he's saying that you can do whatever you want. If you're an addict, you got to get out of jail free card.

There's no there's no expectation of accountability. And recovery starts with that. I think him using addiction as a get out of jail free card sets that recovery back for everybody else.

And it makes everybody else look suspect. Like I said, I've known addicts. I've had addicts in my family. Not every criminal is an addict. And not every addict goes out and sells out national security or in or does the crazy stuff that he did engages in human trafficking, does all these things.

Not every addict does that. He is just a privileged, aging brat who thinks that he is still in his 20s. And that he can do whatever he wants. Because daddy's the president. Hunter Biden is a privileged white trash brat in an almost 60 year olds body.

It is insane that he is coddled and treated like a child in this in this manner. New film that is out. And it's from the people who brought you The Chosen.

And now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for Dana's quick five. So everybody has heard of Vanta black, right? Vanta black is like the blackest black color that you can ever buy it like sucks the light out of a room, except you can't actually buy it.

I mean, it was developed for UK's defense ministry. And apparently it's also reportedly carcinogenic, but you can get black 4.0. Now black 4.0 is the blackest paint that you can actually purchase. And you, I mean, really don't have there's not a reflection on it.

It is apparently discomforting for people to see it. It is really it's like it sounds amazing. And I want to paint a whole house in it. I would told I would be the person that has the black 4.0 house not gonna lie. That sounds so cool. I want to paint something with it.

I don't even know what Kane we got to do in the new studio. Maybe I can paint something with the black 4.0. Apparently, though, it's really expensive. Like, it's not like a bucket.

It's like a bottles like $50. I don't know if that's actually realistic. But anyway, it's just, you know, kind of it's kind of cool to know there's the super goth blank out there. Let's see cannabis candies. What a weird name. That's so some I'm sorry, cannabis sounds so bougie. It doesn't it?

Right? I know what it's I know just say pot. Like when you say cannabis, just stop it. Shut up.

You just try it's trying to sound pretentious. So anyway, there was some pot candy kids that were in Alameda, of course, it's California, they found pot infused fruit juice amongst the candy that they received. I bet it chilled them out. No, I'm just kidding.

They said what I'm not stone. Don't give your kids pachies. It says that one child ingested the THC candy became ill and sought medical attention so bad. Two families found the weed candy amongst the treats that they got at a PTA event. They were labeled as lost farm cannabis infused fruit juice. How much do you want to bet that someone just didn't know it was like some stoner who's like, I guess I'm no county. How about so this is right?

How much do you want to bet? Right? Wait, how much do you want to bet that they just thought it was the fruit juice? It's like having ginkgo biloba.

It's just like that. Remember ginkgo biloba? Oh my gosh. Sidebar when I was in high school track. I was varsity and like from the gecko and I my mom gave me ginkgo biloba cap, caplets and one of these girls who was like suckier than me. And I always beat her and she was jealous. She was trying to say that I was on performance enhancing drugs. I'm like, it's ginkgo biloba from the health food store.

You fruitcake. Anyway, a trooper, trooper wrangled a wayward chicken wayward chicken, a banjo cover band of metal songs, wayward chicken, a trooper wrangled a wayward chicken off an eye off the interstate in Seattle. That chicken didn't cross the road. There's video of it and it's hysterical.

He totally wrangled that chicken. I love it. I have a I have a short fuse anyway. I have no tolerance. Some people say I'm cold. I'm not I'm just very logical.

And you just you feel like your tank is empty. I want to show you two videos. And this is going to seem weird.

Like I said, I'm changing it up. The first video. Who was this?

This was some musician in Texas. And he you know, some people travel some people work Halloween night. I think it's a great time for door to door evangelism.

Don't send me your emails about it. But you know, he had a bucket of candy out and said take one piece of candy, please. One piece of candy per kid. Because he had home he's working. And these people came up and this mom loaded up these kids candy bags, looking right at the damn camera.

They just I mean, it was like a welfare free for all. Load a handfuls handfuls. They're just, you know, loading up their bags.

If you're watching the simulcast channel 347, DirecTV, YouTube, Facebook, one showing it to you. If you're listening to the radio show across the country, you can hear some of it. They're just they emptied this whole this whole container, emptied the whole container. Now I watch this.

I saw this video yesterday. At probably the most cynical point of my day. And I'm looking at it.

And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. Everything's horrible. Everything just sucks. And it just feeds into the cycle, right?

It feeds into it. You're just like, everything's horrible. Look at how look at how horrible people are. People are horrible. And then you're like, what's you know, what's the what's what's the purpose? Let's just let the world go to hell in a hand basket.

Bring on smod. I want to show you another video that probably won't get as many views. Because this is the one that made me stop. I don't know where this is. It's not the porch of a famous singer. They don't have big ol grand columns on their porch. But they did have a little one of those little doorbell cameras.

Same situation. You know, the person was out, they were working doing whatever. And they had a bowl of candy. And it said one piece, and it was gone predictably. And the kids they show up and they look at it and it's empty.

And what do they do? They're like, there's no candy. And this one little boy with his little plastic sword goes up and he looks he's like, I'm gonna fix it. He puts his sword down, and he empties his bucket of candy into this this bowl of candy. And the little girl comes up and starts doing the same thing. And then the other little girl who's dressed up as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and has my heart. She does the same thing.

And they're like, okay, and they load it in there. And then one kid takes one little piece of candy back. It's I love it. Oh my gosh, I love it.

Shakespeare said, which was popularized further in modern times by Willy Wonka, so shines a good deed in a weary world. And I was I saw that video, I think right about the time I was supposed to see that video right when I was on the cusp of just like bring on smod I will go in my front yard, and I'll have a glass of whiskey, a drama whiskey and I will drink my whiskey and laugh as I watch the flaming fireball of molten rage hurtled towards earth and end us all. And I was right at that moment.

When I saw this video, I'm like, well, there goes ruins my Heather's moment. Gosh. But it was, you know, there's there's, there's good in the world still. And as I said, as I started this, I said, there's one or two ways to look at the time we're in. Just like there's one or two ways to approach the empty candy bowl on the neighbor's porch.

You can fill it and you can take from it. And I was thinking about this. I'm like, okay, yeah, it sucks. Everything's horrible right now. Inflation. You know, the economy. Are we going to World War Three?

I don't know. Seems like all the people who tell us that we're in biblical times seem awful close to the truth right now, maybe more than ever. But if not us, then who and if not now, then when for a time for people such as this, I don't think that we are all put on this earth in this particular time period for just chance. I don't, I don't believe in that. I think that there's a reason why we're all here.

And instead of looking at it as a burden, maybe we should look at it as a privilege and maybe we should look at it like, well, there's something about all of us that maybe God was like, yeah, these people can handle it. Let's put them here. These people got it. They can get through this. Thanks for tuning into today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
