Absurd Truth: Chicago Makeover

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. Alright, Kane and I are really trying to figure this one out. So, the headline is this. A quadriplegic YouTube star. First off, YouTube star? This dude who's on YouTube who's a quadriplegic? Is, went to court and was charged somehow with striking a Miami cop with his wheelchair.

And even the judge is like, I've never seen a case like this. 32-year-old Brian, Brian Amastha is facing two counts of battery on a police officer. Despite being unable to utilize his limbs, Amastha is accused of hitting the officer. The guy on YouTube I'm not saying YouTube star.

Amastha denies the allegations against him. The quadriplegic YouTuber was charged with striking a Miami cop with his wheelchair. In a bizarre incident, the likes of which the judge has said he has never before seen. Bryant Amastha, known as recording artist El Valiente, has seen his motorized wheelchair and allegedly spitting on the officer. Well, we did wonder how this was gonna, I can't, dude, I cannot with the screen grabs of his videos. The YouTuber boasts a substantial following.

He's amassed nearly 100,000 followers and somehow shares music videos featuring himself singing surrounded by dancing women in bikinis who were clearly being paid. When asked if he spit on the cop, Amastha told Local 10, I absolutely did not. He said she bumped my wheelchair because I was standing in the driveway and the driveway is thin.

And he said, so I suffer from acid reflux and I normally spit and I spat in a totally different direction. Wow. I don't know, man.

Kane, you want to? I don't. I have absolutely no desire to comment on this particular story. Thank you, though. Appreciate it.

Appreciate the offer. But no. Oh my gosh, I just can't even with the screen grabs. There's no body cam footage of the incident. So it's like he said, she said, but still. But how do you get two counts? You're quadriplegic and you get two counts of battery.

Amastha's attorney told the judge, obviously my client is not a flight risk. But wait, there's more. A Florida man was arrested for carving his name into a deputy's patrol car. I just wanted to go back to prison, said the Florida man. Enderlin Leonce, 33, was arrested on April 29, booked in a Broward County jail on criminal mischief. Now, according to Margate Police Department's arrest affidavit, a witness reported seeing Leonce vandalizing the patrol car before taking off. They noticed that the suspect had used a metal tool to etch, quote, the name is Enderlin Leonce, end quote, on the driver's side. vehicle.

Yes, what was that name? Enderlin Leonce probably took a while, carve that into the car. And the officer Well, wait, there's more.

The officer met with Leonce at his home. And when asked if he did it, Leonce allegedly said, quote, I did it. I committed a crime and I should be going to jail. In quote, so he was first taken up to the hospital because they're like, you're crazy. And then they took him to jail. So there's $1,000 damage to the patrol car.

So they got Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Let's see. We've got a shirtless Florida man with Wendy's beef caught on camera threatening to rob a Wendy's. A man accused of trying to set his girlfriend on fire. We also have a Florida man who plants tracking devices on his roommate's van. Oh, yes, there's tons, tons. We have a naked woman, naked Florida woman who broke into her neighbor's house.

And yeah, we got somebody who took a bite out of a deputy's head. That's all coming up tomorrow because retrograde. No, Mercury's out of work retrograde. This is just Florida full moon or something. Not just Florida, Florida. It's Australia of America. That's what it is.

That's what's happening here. So Oh, and then we got this one real quick a Florida man crawled through floorboards during a getaway wanted Florida man 19 year old debt gauge Dennis, your name is backwards. faces charges of attempted first degree murder and burglary. He's got a nice tat above his eyebrow. And he tried hiding under a house. But guess what that didn't work.

The police found him. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now I myself regularly concealed carry nine millimeter. Now that said, not every woman is like me has had the hours of training that I've had or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self defense at the same time.

You guys, I need to share this story with you. You're not gonna believe this headline.

You ready for it? What's up with Chicago's mayor's first off? Let me ask that. Because remember the last lady.

Why are you laughing? We're not gonna get through the segment are we? We do remember that last lady was there. Yeah. She was Lori Lightfoot. Yeah, but you remember. She went to a salon when everything was locked down and she came back out looking the same. She's like I got it. I got standards I got to maintain on the face of the city.

So, yeah, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Guys, he spent $30,000 on personal grooming in one year on makeup. He spent $30,000 on makeup. I as a girl who is on television five days a week, and I do my own hair and makeup. I don't even spend $30,000 a year.

I don't spend anywhere near $30,000 a year on hair and makeup. What is he doing? He's a man.

Have you seen him? How is he spending $30,000 on hair and makeup a year? So he my first thought was he had to hire a makeup artist like a full time makeup artist. So he spent Oh my gosh, he spent $4,000 on hair appointments at a beauty salon. A man. Can I say something?

I don't really know if I feel like dude should be going anything but a barbershop. You know what I'm saying? I'm a little old school. Like I don't want to be at my lady salon and look over and see you a man. I just don't. I'm not being ignorant. I'm really sexist about this stuff. I am admittedly sexist. I just like I think men control the yard and the thermostat and the car stuff. And women control like the foodstuffs and the interior. Right? And the family schedule. That's the that's how this works.

Right? That's how this all works. That's what I'm saying. Like I don't even put gas in my own car. I have not put gas in my own car. I don't even know. I mean, I know how to do it. I just choose to not. I just don't do it. Like I will not even if I and my kids will die. If I'm out because I'm the only girl in my family. I won't even open my own door.

I will stand in front of it and stare at it like a helpless Jedi trying to use a mind trick. And I will wait for a male in my party to open the door. Not because I'm helpless because I'm not touching the door. I don't I am sexist. I freely admit it. I freely admit it.

Right? Just like if I walk past the thermostat and I feel like it's cold. I'll turn and look at my husband. I'll go what's the temperature?

I asked him what the temperature is. Instead of just putting gas in my car. See, that's the give and take. Right?

I don't have to put gas in my car. That's that's the give and take. Anyway, I don't want to be in a salon and looking over and seeing you a man in the salon. Right? Is it weird? Like you wouldn't want to be at the barber shop and look over and see a woman.

Right? I feel like the barber shops where the men go. Is that sexist?

I don't care. Anyway, he spent for that. Oh my gosh, $4,000 going to the salon. He hardly has hair. We're in a world where we wouldn't expect to see men in women's bathrooms, let alone.

Well true. Lady salons. Lady salons. I don't think you got to say lady salon. I think that's redundant. It's salon and barber shop.

That's it. So he hired this lady. Her name is Denise Malloy. And she runs like a makeup I guess she does makeup. She does a makeup company. Let's see. Oh, Malloy's Makeup Magic.

It made JIC. All right. Sounds right.

Yeah. And the payments are listed under candidate makeup for TV, makeup retainer, candidate makeup, candidate makeup for debate. And then apparently, he after he was elected, he has tons of payments to Makeup Magic that fall under like a very general catch all campaign expense description, right? And he apparently used financial contributions from his supporters to foot the bill.

Can you think about this for a minute? Imagine that you donated to this man's campaign. And you found out that your donation went to a foundation for a man. I'm just saying he spent that much money.

I just can't. I thought I was donating to a foundation. You mean I was buying foundation?

Yeah. And then so some of his some of his supporters are going, well, his expenditures are supporting black and woman owned businesses. $40,000 y'all. That's insane for a man to spend on makeup. It's insane to say that a man has spent money on makeup. I mean, I get for TV, they they they touch up and they do that stuff.

Although can I just say side by real quick. So when I was a CNN, I was the token conservative back in the day when I was like the only conservative there besides Ari Fleischer. And we did it was in it was a debate, something debate was like a Republican primary, something that CNN was hosting. And Herman Cain was there. And they were going to put a bunch of makeup on Herman Cain.

Because apparently, like he was super shiny or something. And he just stopped and looked at them. And as they reached over to him, his head leaned away as they were.

And I was in the makeup room when this is happening. He was like, nope. And then they finally were like, oh, Mr. Cain, you know, can we and he did relent. But it was hysterical. He walked in there was like, yeah, I don't think you're gonna be doing that. He's like, I'm not doing a commercial. And they're like, well, you are on television. And you know, it does. It was a riot.

But this guy, the mayor of Chicago $40,000 to tell you what we got a lot more. Huh? Yeah. And now all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's quick five. information and culture. According to South Korea, they said that the young man was publicly executed because he had listened to 70 South Korean songs, watched three films, and apparently distributed some of them.

So they killed him. I mean, that's the country where you can only literally have like one type of haircut. Right?

You know, you only get one or like for dudes, you get like one or two types of haircuts for women, you get like a four or five. I think that's about it. I don't know. Texas hospitals, reportedly, the first in the US use holograms for doctor patient visits. It's the Crescent Regional Hospital 13 miles south of Dallas, they've installed a hollow box 3d system. It projects a hologram of a doctor so they can perform real time consult consults with patients at a clinic 30 miles away, you know, you could just do a DM zoom thing, or a Skype call, or a FaceTime it does so that we don't have to go to their hollow box.

If you're just sitting there in front of a DM hologram. It's not like they can sit here and you know, what's the point of that? This is stupid.

Am I wrong? Yeah, like they can't do they're like, Oh my gosh, we're so excited to bring some some of this tech to you. They can't do anything more than if it was a FaceTime. So goofy. I don't know. I don't get it.

Am I being too harsh? No, never. They said it wasn't our intention after you had unexpected toxicity and all kinds of hallucinations. It's called uncle frogs mushroom gummies. What did you think was going to happen? Yeah, it sounds like they did the job like it was, you know, but all these people that go to the hospital. They've recovered but they had to issue an apology. We're sorry that you didn't know our mushroom gummies were gonna make you just trip beans. We didn't we're sorry. What do they think is gonna happen?

Let's see. Let's Oh, a New Jersey man trying to work beach goers about a storm got struck by lightning and it killed him. That's so hard to get off the beach when it's lightning and thundering. Just get off the beach. Get off the beach.

Get off the beach. That should be a warning to you. Stick with us more to come. An iconic L. A landmark still in the dark almost six months after thieves stole nearly seven miles worth of copper wiring that illuminated the six street bridge there. In fact, they're waiting for us to repair them. They want us to repair them because every light post to them is an ATM machine.

It's a pure cash. So when we go repair, what do they do? They go and they still again, council member Kevin De Leon helped create a task force to crack down on the copper wire thefts plaguing the city. More than 6000 incidents were reported citywide last year repairs exceeding $17 million. The task force also working on ways to prevent a costly repeat of the crime along the famous bridge. Since repairs, they're expected to top $2 million. We need to come up with creative ways to reinforce the metals, the cement that protect and safeguard the wires so thieves can't just walk up.

The picturesque bridge has been besieged with problems since it's unveiling. What the hell? This guy is so clueless. He's Kevin De Leon. He's a council. He's in California government. He's in state government. And he's the guy when they held the that held the as a California elected official.

He held a press conference with DOJ in California and ATF. And they were talking about quote unquote, what was it? He was talking about ghost guns. And he was talking about what was it?

Was it pistol breezes? Yeah. And he sounded like an absolute moron. And that video went viral. So it's he's still as goofy and dumb as he was.

I mean, there's a consistency. This is the play this if we have it, this is the same. It was the same guy was out there with a rifle. And he's he's holding it.

He's like, you know, this is I gosh, you're gonna kill some brain cells without alcohol. Here's how watch This is a ghost gun. This right here has the ability with a 30 caliber clip. Oh, gosh, to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. What 30 magazine clip. What? Oh, my gosh, shut up. It's not a ghost gun, you epic moron.

And by the way, people can make stuff at home for their own personal use. What is send out 11 G. kajillion bullets in a second. 30 and a half seconds. Yeah, that spits out 30 whole bullets in a half second. I call it once. Or does it? I see. This is why I couldn't just be a member of the press press and sit and ask these people questions because I would be an absolute troll. Like that's one of the reasons why I love Peter Doocy so much and he does such a great job. But you mean do they spit them out council member all at once?

Or individually in half a second? That's what I would ask. Anyway, this guy. So he's he's sitting here going, we need to figure out a way to, you know, reinforce the concrete for the copper or I don't know, maybe you can just send people to jail and start prosecuting when they do stuff like this instead of going no, we don't have the we just can't. We just can't do it. Because that's what happens. That's why people are doing it more and more because no one's getting prosecuted over it, prosecuted over it.

And so The government is so great at making everything so cost prohibitive. Why don't they do that with a fines like these? Say, hey, you know what, if you're ever convicted of anything like this, here's the fine. And it's like 10 times whatever you stole, or whatever the case may be. Make a deterrent, make it happen.

Why do you keep letting these people out in the streets with this type of stuff to happen? And then to be lectured by a guy, I mean, the average, I think it's what the average, it's it's 600 RPM. So it's like 10 rounds. It's 10 rounds a second. That's the average machine gun.

And what he's talking about is the semi automatic who says, he says that the the clip, the 30 round magazine clip shoots 30 bullets in half a second. He doesn't even just even know it. I don't even know if he knew he's holding a gun till someone told him what it was. Nor does he know the measurement of time. Can we talk about the heroic amount of will that it took for the cop standing next to him to keep a straight face? As he was saying this as Kevin de Leon was saying this stuff. He's holding it. You could tell he didn't even know how to keep a straight face.

He's like this. This is a ghost gun. And it has a magazine clip.

And it it shoots 30 30 bullets in a half second. I could make fun of this guy all day long. The cop that's standing behind him is just looking at him like my gosh, I can't even believe I'm sitting here listening to this. I cannot just you know, why did they is this?

Was this the most knowledgeable guy that they had to talk about that at the time? It's a 30 caliber magazine clip that delivers all the rounds you have a second ability with a 30 caliber clip cover clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second all the bullets in the magazine come out magazine clip 36 what's the math on that? Let me think Wait a sec at 3600 RPM guys. I cannot get I get Oh my gosh. Oh, I can't deal.

I can't deal. That is so that guy sitting here lecturing about the bridges, you know, the going to reinforce the, the copper the wires with the copper in the concrete. It probably took them 10 minutes to strip that bridge or that that area that he was in. At that, but I don't know. That's what you got to start prosecuting for this stuff. But they that's what they don't do that. So you're you know, that's why this keeps happening.

Because they don't do any of that. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana lashes absurd truth podcast. If you haven't already made sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
