Absurd Truth: Ground Control To Major Tom

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. So a man who was accused of throwing feces at a Florida synagogue is appearing in court in Broward County. Jeffrey Fleming, 39, faces charges of stalking, hate crimes, and literally throwing human waste at a synagogue.

His attorney says his client's confused and he wants a mental health examination. Oh, and they recorded the feces stuff on video. Oh, my gosh, that's so gross. And yeah, he's, I don't know, that's one of the most unsanitary ways to protest that I can imagine. Anyway, he apparently like was harassing people as they came out of the synagogue and all kinds of stuff and trying to get their faces.

So he's, you know, seems like a dangerous, hateful person. But he appeared in court this morning. A Florida man landed a helicopter on birds, a bird nesting site in Igmont Key. Florida Fish and Wildlife are not happy, according to WFLA.

This is a Bradenton man. So he had, he landed his helicopter apparently right on a nesting site. And the witnesses told officials a female got out, took a few photos, hopped back in and they took off. They wanted to apparently take pictures of the birds. So they landed on their nest.

And apparently all these birds had to flee the nest. Because there's a chopper that landed on it. That doesn't seem like the smartest way to go about that. Like you couldn't have approached it from the water. You know, you had to take a chopper to... That's just dumb. Why do people do dumb stuff?

Like stop. Ooh. This man eating monster crocodiles have been found in Florida. So they got crocodiles and alligators in Florida, by the way.

You know this, right? Now they said the presence of Nile crocodiles have been confirmed in the state now. University of Florida, like if it wasn't already terrifying, University of Florida has a news release. They said, quote, man eaters that can grow to 18 feet long and weigh as much as a small car have been found in Florida. They've conducted DNA analysis of crocodiles going back to the year 2000 and made their determination.

They think there's a ton out there. They found juveniles in South Florida and the Everglades. They even found a juvenile relaxing on a house porch in Miami. These are the Nile crocodiles. And wow, that's horrible. They said that they eat everything zebras or zebra if you're British, small hippos, two humans in sub-Saharan Africa. And they said that Nile crocodiles specifically were responsible for at least 480 attacks on people 123 fatalities in a four year span in Africa alone. That's crazy. Can you imagine them getting that big in Florida?

Now think of like the attacks and and just in four years in Africa, and then that's kind of terrifying, isn't it? They think it's the pet trade. They think it's the illegal pet trade. That's like the most likely. I think we're scared we're, you know, on the food chain.

We're maybe not down a link or two. Yeah, I mean, you know, they we live by a lake called Grapevine Lake. And there's, I get weird like with lakes that gators can be in. Like if a gator can't be in there, I'm okay with your lake. But if a gator could potentially be in the lake, I'm not okay with it.

You know what I mean? I don't know what's coming up there. Gator could be coming up from the water and eat me.

I don't know. It's creepy. Like I, I cannot get in this lake because I'm terrified of the gators. And there's literally somebody went jogging. They took video of a gator on the jogging path. And it looked like an eight foot long gators like an eight foot long gator on the trail where they were jogging. And they stopped and they recorded the footage.

They put it up on Facebook on like the town Facebook. That's a little terrifying. It was a big gator.

I'm like, how does it, what in the world? Just chilling, chilling there by the jogging path, you know, going to get a snack. Just saying. And that's a zigzag pattern. Yeah, zigzag, zigzag, zigzag. That should be like your slogan if you're in Florida.

Zigzag. Hi, I'm George, an economics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arnn with the Constitution Minute. The Declaration of Independence is more than a bold letter to a British king written by upstart colonists, although it very much is that. The Declaration explains the promise of America that all men and women are born equal in their possession of natural rights and that the proper exercise of these rights can lead to a full and deeply satisfying life. Just as the Declaration explains America's promise, the Constitution upholds that promise. Its purpose is to protect the rights of all of us, our natural rights. This establishes the possibility, not the guarantee, that we can have a good life. This is true freedom.

It's a series that we, it's called Constellation. And it is on Apple TV. It's very good. And the first couple of episodes are super creepy.

I don't want to give too much away. Numi Rapace stars in it. She was in the first, oh my gosh, she was the first Elizabeth Salander before the one chick, Rooney Mara, did the US version. But Numi Rapace, she was also in Prometheus. She's been in a ton of different movies. She's a really good actress.

She stars in this film, in this series. It's a series. And Constellation is about, you know, ISS.

It's about the International Space Station. And it gets into quantum physics and really crazy stuff. It's brilliantly done. It's a very good series. And it's super creepy.

And super creepy. And the reality of this story, to me, is very similar to the beginning, in some respects, of Constellation, that series. So two US astronauts are stuck in space. They're stuck in space. Two US astronauts, Sunitha Williams, Suni, and Barry Wilmore, have spent the better part of a month at the ISS because they had a problem with Boeing's Starliner. Of course they did. They need crisis management at Boeing.

Oh my gosh. So their Starliner spacecraft with two astronauts on board, they're stuck in space. It started as an eight-day mission. Now they're going to be there for a month and they have no return date.

None. They have no idea when they're going to be able to get back to Earth. They said, with Boeing, they adjusted the return of the Starliner crew flight test until after two planned spacewalks, Monday the 24th, and the second one is going to be on July 2nd.

They do not have a date for return. They're trying to evaluate opportunities after the spacewalks. And they said, well, the crew is not pressed for time to leave. They have plenty of supplies in orbit.

And the station's schedule is relatively open through mid-August. Now they went into space on June 5th from Cape Canaveral, and it was a year behind schedule, a billion and a half over budget, and they had problems before the initial launch with helium leaks and thrusters and all kinds of stuff. And they said that everything was not a concern for the return mission, but now they said four of the five thrusters that were previously shutting down, they're operating normally, one is offline, and they can't get anybody back. And they said they're trying to figure out how to, they're stranded.

That's kind of freaky. I don't care how many supplies you have, you know, it's creepy to be stranded in space. So people are asking, could Elon Musk and SpaceX actually go and do it? Because you've had, you know, ISS, you've had people living up there routinely from several, like a handful of nations since, you know, for the past, what, 24 years. And you have the ISS that that is in Earth's orbit, goes about 17,500 miles per hour. Because ISS, you know, they said they've extended already that was supposed to shut down on 2030.

I don't know. But they've got, NASA gave SpaceX an $843 million contract to build a vehicle that's going to bring the ISS out of its orbit of Earth when its operating lifespan ends. So they've already had that project going. So now they're wondering, would they, would SpaceX actually be able to design and get an aircraft up there, dock in the ISS, like can they get up there and get these people back?

Oh, my gosh. So not only he's got a d orbit ISS, and maybe could they also get these people home? Can they can they bring these these American astronauts home?

There's all kinds of problems. I like that they're they're having to rely on privatization, you know, quasi privatization to bring it out. But they said that this I apparently that starliner up there is not safely operational. They said that they could maybe get a ride with the dragon spacecraft, because apparently SpaceX's dragon craft is attached to the ISS, but it's on the opposite side of the station.

And they're trying to kind of figure all this stuff out how that would work. Would you I mean, even if you have enough supplies, isn't that kind of a mind job to be trapped up in space? Yeah, to know that you're trapped there, and that you don't necessarily have a plan of action to get back? Yeah. Yeah. A little unnerving. Yeah. A little bit. A little unnerving. Just a little bit. I, I didn't like the fact that we had hitch rides on Russian rockets there for a while to get up there to the ISS.

I don't know. I just, we shouldn't, we shouldn't have any catastrophes like this. Like, how did we go from being the pioneers of space? To now we got people stranded up there and we are but they are going to rely on us to deorbit ISS when it ceases to, you know, goes past its lifespan. Steve's going where's our space force?

They're building they got to start somewhere. Isn't that what that whole department was created for stuff like this? Yeah, we got NASA like Space Force, I think is more about defense where this is more about exploration.

But I agree with you. I think that that it has to work, you know, congruently, because I do think that space exploration is also a part of national security. Definitely, especially when you can have space weapons and all kinds of stuff that you know, I mean, there's all the stuff that happens in Star Trek and Star Wars and everything else ends up becoming a reality here for the US or for Earth.

But, but I know our space. We're the thing the thing that sucks about space is that we're all here way too early to like really like, you know, go, you know, all out and enjoy it. And so you know, we have a Space Force. We got cool uniforms and you know, yeah, Space Force.

It sounds pretty cool. You think you're fighting Martians, but we're not there yet. 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.

So this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women and the Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles 68 caliber rounds that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away.

I mean, it is hard, easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Burna.

It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burna.com slash Dana for 10 percent off. That's by RNA dot com slash Dana. And now all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's quick five. Another horrific border story. One of the illegal immigrants who shot a female police officer and was set to be deported to Venezuela.

The judge had spared him. This guy who had shot an officer in Texas, Jorge Gutierrez, he had illegally crossed in through Eagle Pass. This was back in November of last year, along with like 600 other illegal entrants. And at the time they were processing him for expedited removal. So he took his case to an asylum officer and claiming that he feared he feared persecution if he was deported back to Venezuela. And the officer rejected his claim process and forward. But then he asked to make his claim before a judge who vacated his order and let the case continue. And now the man has killed a police officer in San Antonio. That's the consequence of letting this guy go through, not vetting people who are entering the country illegally. So that immigration judge, I think, is just as responsible as this guy. And they need to be treated as such. They need to there need to be serious consequences for this just nonsense. lawlessness. A crazy swarm of dragonflies has hit Rhode Island Beach.

A Rhode Island Beach. There's aren't they like they eat mosquitoes and all that. So they're good, right? But they said that they're, there's tons of video of them. People have been running for cover and hiding under blankets and screaming because why? They're not gonna hurt you.

They're dragonflies. Good heavens. Greece has a goat plague problem. Yeah, apparently they have a goat plague and a goat plague outbreak. They said that they now have nationwide restrictions for goat and sheep to combat a deadly viral outbreak. That's been a blow to their livestock industry.

Now, Cain's like, Oh, my God, I know, right? I know. I know. I know. DC has seen more divorces and custody battles over political ideologies. And they said that it's so partisan that they have seen a huge increase in divorces and then also battles over who's getting the kids because of politics. That's from Axios. Stay with us.

We got a lot more in store, the Olympics and culture. Protesting oil. I'm wearing shoes made with oil. I have products that are made with oil and literally holding canisters that are made of oil. I mean, so the stop oil people these are these are stop oil protesters, dorks, who were spraying Stonehenge because of oil. Pads of paint against several huge stones.

Because people were coming there for I guess summer solstice or something. One of the dudes one of these people is a I'm not making this up. A birdwatcher. It's a youth representative at the British Trust for Anthology.

What did you get your degree in bird watching? And then of course, they had to take pictures of themselves after they did it because I mean, does activism really count? If you don't post it on Insta? Do you guys see my activism today? Just out there like activisming. Posting it on Insta. What? On TikTok.

So does it does it exist if you don't post about it? I don't know. They took pictures of themselves posing.

In front of Stonehenge with the orange paint. And they wore just stop oil. And they had canisters made with oil. I mean, let's literally everything that they're doing is betrayed by the fact that they needed petroleum to do it.

So let me get this straight. You cannot in any way deface paint on a road with a tire mark. I mean, again, on the road, the tire mark. But this spray painting whatever polluting the air spray painting these Stonehenge historical stones with paint. That's okay.

That's all right to do. But don't get a tire mark on the road when there's a rainbow flag. Can I just point out that these individuals were carrying a canister that had a sealant on it? What was the sealant made from? Petroleum. And it involved chemicals made of petroleum.

Oh, that hurts. And they went there using vehicles whether it's EV or combustion engine that require petroleum. They also one of them had glasses, eyeglasses made with petroleum. They traveled to Stonehenge on asphalt made with petroleum.

I mean, where do you want me to keep going? One of them wore a belt made with petroleum tires on the vehicle made with petroleum phone they were recording made with petroleum. Their shoelace aglets. You know what the aglet is?

It's a little plastic thing at the end of the shoelace made with petroleum. Yeah. And I mean, do you want me to keep going?

Because I literally could do this for the rest of the show. I wouldn't surround myself with it. Yeah. That's like saying that you're you're protesting against chicken while eating delicious chicken. You should be against this. They're they're literally using petroleum while protesting it.

So make yourself honest and just do without all those things. But we're like activisming. And I love how one of the people was screaming at them, you dirty scum. It's the meanest they could get.

You dirty scum. Goodness. But yeah, these and I'm like seeing pictures of these people all wearing stuff that you may patrol because they have tons of photos of themselves on their social media page. They made the druids mad. There's a video of like, is he an actual druid? I thought they were like real scary folk. Druids weren't scary. Isn't that what the Romans said? Like, they scared the hell out of the Romans.

When they went out there, they're like, Oh, my gosh. There's a druid who was real mad yelling at him. Just saying the Romans were a little nervous about the druids. Just saying so maybe, you know, don't bring your insta activisming to the druids. I'm just saying.

I don't let the people who go up there and do the solstice stuff. They're not harming anyone. I don't even think they flatten the grass.

I think they like comb it back up after they leave. I'm just saying. I mean, I feel like they're doing more for the environment than the Just Stop Oil people who are slinging paint everywhere. Like Jackson Pollock activism. Oh, my gosh. And they're holding, I kid you not, a shiny plastic sign that says Just Stop Oil.

Guess what that sign's made of? Petroleum. Oh, man. Wow.

These people are morons. It makes me want to use more oil. Every time I see them do this, I want to go out and use more of it. Oh, I like that. Do you like that? I like that idea.

I just I want to go and use more of it. You make me want to be more reckless with my stewardship. I mean, that's we'll just I'll just hold the earth hostage.

We'll just do it like this. Oh, my gosh. But they said that they were trying to get the canister off the protesters. And then the protesters sat down after they said, Why target Stonehenge? Like, aren't those people up there hippies? I don't know.

Literally, I have no clue. They just seem like it, you know. Some of them wear a lot of tweed, so maybe not. But they don't really hurt nobody.

They're up there with like nature and stuff. Wouldn't those people be people that you might find a natural alliance with? So why are you going to go up there and like, you know, we and their Cheerios? Why are you doing this? So they kept saying that it was orange corn flour in a canister that has chemicals and sealant in it. You idiots.
