Absurd Truth: Secretary Musk?

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. You know, the police provide a service of assistant and protecting, but they do not provide this type of service.

No, sir, they do not. So this is Florida Man. Timothy Gunter. He was arrested last week in Lake County. He had called the police because he needed them to test his bad drugs. Please test my bad drugs after he burglarized a home over barking dogs.

The 34-year-old was booked into Lake County jail, charges of burglary and meth possession. He, the deputy was patrolling in the Paisley area who was flagged down by the burglar. This guy looks like he's on the... Look at the, Juan's showing you if you're watching the simulcast. This dude looks like a tweaker.

Looks exactly like you think a tweaker would look. And his eyes are way close together. But the burglary victim flagged down the deputy, led him to his house. And he said that Gunter randomly uttered that he had just received some bad drugs. And he said he asked the deputy to test him because he thinks there's something wrong with his meth. So he said he broke into the victim's house because he could hear dogs barking inside.

He is being held in jail on an $18,000 bond. That's not what you ask the police to do. They don't...

It's not... No, you don't be like, can you come check my bad drugs? Yeah. So this Florida man, he complimented this other...

I mean, sometimes you see a nice car out and about, right? And in Winter Haven, this driver complimented another driver's car and the driver whose car he complimented punched him promptly in the face. It's all on... Dude, who is the... Well, at least the guy doesn't skip leg day.

I will say. The guy who... Isn't the guy who did the punch and the one who doesn't skip leg day, apparently. John Sturgeon is the one who stopped his vehicle, approached the driver and punched him in the face. And the victim said that he had waved his hand and told Sturgeon that he had a nice car. And I guess the guy thought it was a road rage thing.

What? Okay, Juan, I need you to roll that video back. That guy toddler stomps to his car. He is so roided out. He has to stomp like a toddler.

Otherwise, he'll start a fire with his thighs. Let's just pull it back. That's crazy. That's crazy. So he had told the deputies, he'd waved his hand and said that he was telling him he had a nice car. Did Sturgeon think... Apparently, Sturgeon thought he was flipping him off because the victim is even literally on video. And the guy, the victim has a Dodge Charger. And he's saying, I'm trying to tell you, nice car, bro.

I like your car. And then Sturgeon comes out in his red tank top and his gray shorts and he, you know, punches him. I guess he mistook it as an insult. So they're trying to... He wasn't there when deputies went to his house. So they're trying to find him. Why in the world I gotta have him walking though?

I didn't mean to like throw that up on you, Juan. But this guy toddler stomping back to his car is amazing. Now here he's like, he's got all this... Dude, he's roided out. You know he is. Look, he can't even walk. He didn't put his damn arms down.

He walks like a giant baby. Yeah. It's like he was trying to... The guy was telling him he got a nice car and he got offended.

So don't even compliment people anymore. Everybody's offended. And a Florida man wearing an ankle monitor kidnaps or attempts a kidnapping in a Walmart parking lot. It's always a Walmart parking lot.

Orlando, Florida. Police were called after a reference to an armed robbery, impossible kidnapping. Juan Perez, 54, is the culprit. He approached the victim after pacing the parking lot. He forced her into her trunk, took out a knife, held it to her throat, and the victim tried to fight back and she was able... He threatened to cut her throat if she persisted. He fled after a good guy intervened. And then the witness said that she witnessed Perez trying to shove the victim in the trunk and her legs were flailing out. So the guy's arrested. His court date is September 10th.

So they got the bad guy off the streets. Our partners that help bring you free radio, it's the folks over at Kel-Tec, the P-15. If you haven't seen the P-15 yet, you need to check it out.

K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who is giving me his complete and total endorsement.

That's nice. Smart guy. He knows what he's doing.

He knows what he's doing. Very, very much appreciated. I will create a government efficiency commission test with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations to the government. Recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. So I don't oppose that on its face, but I got some questions. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

We're at the bottom of this second, third hour, sorry, on this Friday. And here's why. I am so allergic to anything that sounds like an expansion of government, that when I hear something that sounds remotely like an expansion of government, even if it's for the purpose of then reducing it, I get real weird about it. Because I feel like the government's too big, right? There's too much stuff. There's too many agencies.

There's, there's this, there's that. So Musk proposed this and said he wouldn't take a salary. I mean, not that he wouldn't need one. He said that he wouldn't, he wouldn't take a salary from it. And he had said that this is all about, you know, cutting government.

And Musk had said, I am I am willing to serve. He wouldn't take a salary, but wouldn't you need people to facilitate this stuff? To do it if you're having a commission on government efficiency. And it would audit agencies are people who would it's not Elon Musk, it's going to be auditing all of these agencies, right? It's other people that are going to be auditing the agencies. And are they going to do it for free? Or is that going to require taxpayer dollars to pay them to do it? Which then, when I look at it that way, it kind of sounds like screwing for chastity. I just don't know how workable this is.

It just seems antithetical to create more government to reduce government. When that dude down in what's his face? Millet, he cut everything. He was like, I don't need to create a commission.

What would he do? It's done. He just cut it.

Javier Millet, he just cut it. Caine, I think disagrees with me. Do you disagree with me on it?

Doesn't it kind of like, I agree with you with all of what you're saying. No one likes more government here. But I'm okay with Trump, who, by the way, isn't a lifelong politician, who comes in, sees the issue of government not being audited in places it should be. He then taps the shoulder of someone else who also isn't in government, in the private sector, mainly, and asks his opinion on a commission to help cut what essentially the government has been avoiding, which are these audits in all these different departments. So who does the work of the auditing?

What do you mean? Well, somebody actually has to audit them and go to the department heads of each one of those agencies they're considering cutting those department heads have to provide the data and prove their case that they need either more or less or what are they operating on? It's a true audit. So it would have to the data would have to come from the department heads of those. Let me let me counter that idea.

All right. Why don't we just get rid of all those departments? That's what I'm saying. But imagine.

So imagine what the media would do to somebody like that when. But if you have look at what they're doing and he's not doing what he's doing is he's spreading the liability out by having this commission, he's saying, all right, we're going to we're going to have more. It's not just me that's just deciding, you know, at the whim of myself to get rid of these agencies.

He's avoiding that narrative in the media by spreading out that liability to a commission. I think it makes great sense. But I also agree that I don't want more government, even if it's to create less government. But in this instance, I think it makes complete sense. You're bringing a guy in who's had a massive amount of success in the private sector.

And he's great. I don't I don't I don't argue that. And I like the idea of examining how agencies are spending money and eliminating nonsensical spending. I just think if you have to I just think everything needs to be cut out, like a radical surgery to nothing but Article One, Section eight. Nobody's got the balls to do it, though.

Singing my favorite song over there. I'm saying I mean, this time here, I'm a guy who's like the only one who came in. I mean, he just doesn't care. That dude doesn't care.

He's got a pretty wife and a crazy hairdo. He doesn't care. Guys like that don't care. He just went in and was like, I don't care.

I'm cutting everything. But I understand why he would want to spread the liability out over this commission, because the media already wants to paint him as some they're going to do it regardless. That's a dictator.

The dictator label to be what drives the decisions on which agencies to cut and how much he doesn't have to if he were to be reelected, he wouldn't have to worry about it again. So I feel like he could just do whatever he wants. I agree with you there. But I don't think that I think it's a sign of fear to not do it.

It damages down ticket. You can't allow these people need to ball up and fight. Well, yeah, I'm tired of us having to deal with the consequence of them not wanting to fight. Yeah. And it's a shame that the media is actually instead of watchdogs for the American people, they're like anything less than Article One, Section eight is cowardice.

Yes. But our media would never go out there. You think they're not going to allow it now, though? Literally, AP made up a whole quote and attributed it to J.D. Vance and Kamala Harris ran with it and Tana and Tim ran with it. They all ran with it. He made up they made up a quote and everyone ran with it. And then they quietly, very surreptitiously deleted it later. So, yeah, they don't care.

It doesn't matter what you do or don't do. They're going to make up something. If there's nothing in there to support their narrative, they'll create it. That's true. But he doesn't want to destroy the media has the power to destroy it, though.

What's a gift? The fact that they'll just make it up, then you can just do whatever you want if they're going to make it up anyway. Yeah, but here's the thing.

There's too many people that believe that stupid narrative from it hurts down ticket in every state. You can't do that. You can't be the dictator. The media is claiming that you are in it. It's how is that being a dictator? By just going in by yourself government is I'm talking about the narrative the media will run with.

I'm not talking about the actual definition of it. This is the narrative the media will run with. And he's spreading that liability out over this commission so that he doesn't look like a dictator, so that it's it's not perceived as some dictator move. He's getting the advice of successful private sector people. This is a sane thing to do.

And the media will not look at it that way. So it's it's sane to not totally cut out all government. What? I'm not sure you heard what I said, but I know you're right.

It's not sane to not cut all of what are we saying? I just because I don't I don't really care if I were him. I understand what he's doing.

I wouldn't care about the liability. And I would be like, you know what? You guys allowed it to get this big all these years in office. Now, guess what? You get to deal with coming up with a great message right now to fight this now because I'm cutting it.

That's when will they get another chance like that again? And that's the thing. I'm not I'm not totally cut, but when you when you damage down ticket and you can't control either House or Senate, then what kind of I reject that narrative, sir. I reject the narrative that it would be him damaging down ticket. It's all the people that allowed it to get this big that damaged it themselves with you on that one, too.

But that does not sound like this particular situation to say it is worth the discussion, though. I I don't know, I just that's why I just feel like it's it seems like I'm going to create more government to cut this government. And I don't like that when I see when I hear more government being created, it's never an issue. Like it's always something that grows government. This is actually an effort to shrink government by creating temporarily more government temporarily. When has anything been temporary in government? When has anything been temporary in government?

In government? Anything? I love it. You just admitted it.

Oh, would you stop? That's all right. That's all right.

So now that we've established that, I ought to at this point. Get it, Cain, for not playing Warhammer, but I'm not. It's all right that you don't want to do the attacking me, Dana. You or Steve. Steve is probably like, what? I don't even under.

He wouldn't know. No, that's all right. It's OK. I want to play fun radio activities.

And now all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's quick five. So in Rome, they're trying to figure out how to manage the crowds around the famous Trevi Fountain, which is kind of in the heart of the city. The Eternal City is considering charging people two euros, which is like two dollars and twenty five cents a ticket to access this open air fountain. So if you get on one of the nine steps that leads to the edge of the fountain, they would charge you and Romans for Romans, it's free. But they said that they were trying to figure out how to do it because people are there always feeding pigeons, which you're not supposed to do because the pigeon excrement actually is super damaging to all the stonework with that make all the monuments and all this stuff. And they don't want people jumping in the stupid fountain. They don't want people jumping in the fountain. It's so dumb. They have people that try to recreate that La Dolce Vita, Fellini's La Dolce Vita by jumping in the Trevi Fountain.

You can't do that. That's a fine. And a lot of people sometimes they try to climb on it and they actually will damage the marble and the the stone that's around it. So they're trying to figure out how to better manage it. But I think that might be a little difficult, too, because it's a pretty big area and that's a pretty big area unless they're going to enclose it.

I don't know how they're going to charge people as they go up to those steps, but very interesting nonetheless. Also, DirecTV's dispute might prevent millions of people from watching next week's debate. Subscribers to DirecTV, they may not actually be able to see it.

They said that more than 11 million subscribers nationwide saw their ABC channel go dark on September 1st because Walt Disney and DirecTV are in a carriage dispute. This is the carriage dispute that Newsmax was saying was costing it its First Amendment right. And I'm like, it's literally a contract dispute.

Why are you? Stop it. It's not a First Amendment thing.

This is exactly what this is. It's a carriage dispute. They said that their contract expired on September 1st. They're going back and forth over prices and all this stuff. And apparently they don't have any other negotiations underway, a source told one of the outlets. So ABC, they are hosting that one and only debate ABC's Disney owns, so they may not carry it. So we'll see. You may have to watch C-SPAN or something or, you know, yeah, maybe. Democrats are OK with that.

Yeah, I think Democrats are totally fine. A water buffalo became a local celebrity because it escaped slaughter. Oh, I want a water buffalo pet. It's in Iowa.

It's a folk hero type figure now. The animal was also shot by police. Residents in Pleasant Hill, Iowa, first spotted the water buffalo in the middle of the road. You know, they're kind of unusual in the area.

So it was a little weird. And they said they started tracking it. They named him Phil after their city, Pleasant Hill, and police were alerted to it. They said at first he was aggressive and dangerous. They didn't want him to cause a car accident, public safety, so on and so forth. They shot him in the belly, but he was wounded, but he still was able to evade. And then now he's kind of a folk hero. Now he seems meek, not violent, and they're taking care of him. And I guess they rehabilitated him, and now he's like a town hero. Isn't that nice?

I want a pet water buffalo now. Parkinson's may begin in the gut, says a study, adding to growing evidence about where a lot of these diseases originate. Gastrointestinal problems. They talk about how it's common in patients that have neurodegenerative disorders to the point where it's called institutional colon. Lots of colon stuff, right? I'm telling you, Parkinson's, all kinds of stuff. The entire gastrointestinal tract is affected, apparently, in Parkinson's.

And so now they're they're looking at gut issues and trying to figure out how they can anticipate and get ahead of some of this stuff. Cain just made the big probiotics super happy, didn't you? Well, and Biden admitted, speaking of that, the other day that the Inflation Reduction Act was not at all about inflation reduction. He did this.

Audio Somebody One, listen. My my investments that through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever. And by the way, it is a three hundred and sixty nine billion dollar bill. It's called the we should have named it what it was. Oh, that lame duck Biden is more honest than the regular Biden.

This turkey neck Biden, DGAF, man, wow, we should have really named it what it was. That's an ad. Cut, run. That's an ad. That is an ad. Wow. We should have named it what it was. We're going to throw all your money into the sun to placate the sun god.

That's what it is. You realize that climate change isn't that far off from just throwing people in volcanoes. Think of it like we've got to spend all this money on the weather. That's what we got to do. We're going to spend the money. We need your money.

You got to you're going to go and plant saplings for every mile that you undertake on a jet. No one does that. You all know that's a bunch of that's so nonsense. It's the modern. It's the it's the modern day indulgence is all it is. That's all it is.

Right. It's the it's it's the it's the modern day indulgence. We're just going to plant those saplings. Honestly, I'm angrier that I didn't get into that grift. I'm mad.

That's a grift I should have gotten into that going out there and selling them indulgences. Every mile you drive, we're going to plant this plant, going to put a tree in the ground here. Look at that. We love the earth. Look at us hugging the earth.

We love it. No, but it's it is not that much different from throwing virgins and volcanoes at this point. We got to fling some money into the sun, guys. That'll make the sun god less angry. He needs to numb some numb some cash. He's got the munchies for some cash and he needs the cash to to make him not obliterate the planet with hotness. So can you guys send some funds his way?

Got to throw it into the magma, into the space magma. So imagine flaunting their inflation reduction act on Tuesday, which hasn't even reduced any food or energy costs. Yeah, hasn't done any. It's the inflation reduction act.

Well, look how much it reduced. Well, it's got to go up a whole hell of a lot and then it's going to come down to some point, maybe. So frustrating. Can't believe I'm laughing. Oh, you have to because you'll throw yourself off your roof if you don't.

So frustrating. We're just going to laugh our way off the edge of the roof. That's what we're doing. It's all we're doing right here.

But it is true. I mean, everything is I gosh, I did a every now and then I have to do so I get my basic supplies at Costco, right? I have to do some things.

I got to get some stuff at Costco. We've been going through paper towels like crazy lately because our dog, Wick, is insane. He's we love him. He's very smart. He's learning. He's a very smart pup, but he also is a very rebellious preteen, and he just doesn't care.

Much like Biden with his turkey neck and his collar open, doesn't care. But he, so I went in and I made this order at Costco and it's one that I make, I've made it's like the same order because it's your basic mass quantities of goods that you know that you're going to go through and know that you're going to use, right? So you have like your you know, your paper towels and I love I'm obsessed with buying don't misunderstand this, like bleach products in bulk. I'm just like, why not? I can use it for so many things. There's so many activities. I can use this for it. Like this is great.

You know, murder amongst them. I'm kidding. But you know, you get it in and you get you get all your stuff. And there's other things that I get to like they have they have really good produce at Costco anyway, not a Costco commercial.

But I've known them for a long time. But I've noticed I have watched my bill go up over the course of the past couple of years. And it is almost double what it was just about double for the same little list of groceries that I have purchased over two plus years, maybe with the addition of like, here are their paper plates or something like that, like, you know, every now and then like it'll have something just like a little thing added on to it. It's almost double what it was people are broke and then have him go out there we should have called it what it was didn't actually reduce inflation. It didn't do anything like that at all. had no impact. Well now they're being honest about it. But we were called conspiracy theorists that when we said that.
