Dana Lashes of seard Truths podcast sponsored by Celtech. Four
2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:08.320
hundred thousand dollars of lobster was stolen in a seafood
3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.080
heightst that sounds really difficult to execute. It sounds like
4
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.439
the kind of thing that's more hassle than it's actually worth,
5
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.839
even if it's four hundred grand, because lobsters were all live.
6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.000
But here is a news report talking about a thing
7
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.839
that really happened in our society.
8
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.719
Four hundred thousand dollars worth of live lobsters headed for
9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.839
Costco were stolen from a Massachusetts shipping facility last week.
10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.039
The CEO of a logistics industry trade group. So the
11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.000
thief posed as a trucking company worker. And this is
12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.880
likely part of an organized cargo crime ring.
13
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.479
Of course it does. Things like that have sterial numbers.
14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.479
Again, those are targeted as well, but a little bit
15
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.399
easier to track obviously.
16
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.320
You know, lobster doesn't have a QR code on it.
17
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.039
Lobster we do, just have QR code onto you know,
18
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.679
track it down.
19
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.799
And this isn't the first time this has happened. It's
20
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.840
the second major seafood theft in December alone.
21
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:57.640
It is crazy.
22
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.920
That's crazy that we have so many different organized versions
23
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.320
of theft and chaos and other things going on. Not
24
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.840
that we don't know about this in our society, but
25
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.359
that it's gotten so bad that people are stealing four
26
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.680
hundred thousand dollars of live lobster by posing as members
27
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.959
of a trucking company. And again, I feel like the
28
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.879
hassle there. I'm not telling the criminals how to commit
29
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.840
crimes better. That's not the goal, that's not my intention.
30
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.719
But the hassle can't be worth it in that grand
31
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.400
scheme of things unless you're dropping them off very quickly
32
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.079
somewhere else. I wouldn't want to house the live lobster
33
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.840
for any amount of time before I exchange them to
34
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.879
some other place. I am trying to be a little
35
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.040
tongue in cheek about how I joke about this, because
36
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.400
it's terrible. It's awful to see, you know, that level
37
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.239
of crime in so many places in our society, but
38
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.159
it's definitely there. And also, again on the list of
39
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.560
things that I would ever steal, which I'm not intent
40
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.560
on stealing anything, live lobster would be way at the
41
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.879
bottom for things that you'd actually want to deal with.
42
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.480
A post theft.
43
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.959
Other things out there that I thought were kind of interesting.
44
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.879
A bunch of New Year's Eve events have been can
45
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.280
around the world, a lot of them for security concerns.
46
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.159
Many people are saying after the Bondi Beach attack in
47
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.360
Sydney or things like it, that they're concerned that the
48
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.159
New Year's Eve parties themselves will be targets for individuals.
49
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.879
I've always said this, and I'll say this here. It
50
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.840
is much better to keep the event and secure it,
51
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.840
and there's a whole lot of ways to do that,
52
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.360
then cancel the events and let the bad guys win.
53
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.759
The bad, horrible people out there who do bad, horrible
54
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.400
things want our society to have to choose between hosting
55
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.039
events and not hosting them, essentially handing power to the
56
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.199
people who do the bad things, when the reality is
57
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.080
that what we need to do is have a few
58
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.919
veterans stationed outside of places, security teams paid to protect places,
59
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.400
and if someone goes after something, it needs to be
60
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.280
a hard target, not a soft target, and the person
61
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.560
who goes after it needs to regret it. If we
62
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520
have enough of that happen in our society, these things
63
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.719
will stop. These things will at least become less commonplace.
64
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.080
That is always the problem that stares us in the
65
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.840
eye that so many people want to ignore, is that
66
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.599
you need to make targets harder, and you need to
67
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.280
make people capable of being harmed for trying to harm
68
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.639
others without having to be worried.
69
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.960
That at some point today you know, the cops show up.
70
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.240
You need to have people in place, in positions of capability,
71
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.319
with training necessary to do it, to immediately stop threats
72
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.560
that just needs to happen. More of our society needs
73
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.360
to be like that. That is acceptance of the reality
74
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.879
of the world we live in. Not this not the
75
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.759
canceling of events because we're too afraid of trying to
76
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.159
do the right thing and protect them the way that
77
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
we need to. But it's uniquely a shame that I
78
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.879
saw that story out of the UK and at about
79
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.719
a bunch of places about how many events this time
80
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.080
of year are being canceled, and how many people might
81
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.000
be afraid to even go places in general because of
82
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.919
that threat risk. I'm afraid to go nowhere because I'm are,
83
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.039
and I think.
84
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.599
You should be too.
85
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.520
But none of that is what I actually want to
86
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.879
talk about. I'd actually rather talk about a clip from
87
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.080
Joe Rogan's podcast that went very viral. This is on
88
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.399
the heels of the Nick Shirley video that went, of
89
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.360
course very viral, and the reason Shirley was so important
90
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.920
independent journalists a million, I think subscribers on YouTube before
91
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.480
he put this video out, only like a million and
92
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.920
a half views on YouTube according to that platform, but
93
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.759
one hundred million plus views on Twitter. And this is
94
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.759
kind of, I think where Rogan is going, the censorship
95
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.279
of society at a time when technology allows all of
96
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.360
us to rise to the top of the news totem
97
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.079
pull and do something that mainstream media should have been doing,
98
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.000
that local news media should have been doing and didn't do.
99
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.959
Visit all these locations that are potentially very fraudulent places
100
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.199
in Minnesota, taking millions of dollars for childcare and autism
101
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.399
care and everything else and not doing any of that
102
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.959
work at all. A YouTuber was capable of doing more
103
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.920
in twenty four hours than media was willing to do,
104
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.439
if not capable to do for quite a bit longer.
105
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.480
But here's part of what Rogan said. There's a bad
106
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.759
word in here that we cleaned up, so I will
107
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.399
definitely have to skip over that bit, but a lot
108
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:23.480
of really interesting stuff.
109
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.560
I said here with.
110
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.079
Now Elon purchased Twitter, and I don't say this lightly.
111
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.800
I think he changed the course of civilization. I really do.
112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.240
I think we were on our way to this weird
113
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.600
dystopian censor censorship complex that was already moving. We had
114
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.519
already had intelligence agencies that were contacting Twitter. We know
115
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.040
this through the Twitter files, and they were banning certain
116
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.360
people that weren't saying incorrect things, but they were seeing
117
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.040
things that were inconvenient, and they turned out to all
118
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.720
be accurate. All the things that they were warning about,
119
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.399
all the things that they're saying, all turned out to
120
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.360
be accurate. They stopped the distribution of the Hunter Biden
121
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.480
laptop story.
122
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.639
Yeah, and I'll stop it right there.
123
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.560
He uses that as one example of what he's saying
124
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.240
that there's a lot of things that turned out to
125
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.639
be accurate and true from the quote unquote conspiracy theorists
126
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.000
that we're all getting silenced and having their platforms shrunk
127
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.519
on social media. What's funny about that. I wasn't deep
128
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.839
diving into the world of conspiracy theory at the time,
129
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.759
but I certainly was giving my opinion and I was
130
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.240
on a radio station in Illinois. At the moment, my
131
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.959
social media feeds I think were censored. And the only
132
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.560
reason I think that is because in the last year,
133
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.720
every time I post anything on any of my radio
134
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.959
craigse on social media if you want to find me
135
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.480
not a huge following anywhere, but anytime I post anything
136
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.079
like a picture, just you know, text posts something that's
137
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.199
not even really valuable, Facebook and some of the other
138
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.040
places tell me my reach has been extended, like hey,
139
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.439
just letting you know we've expanded the reach you have
140
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.600
because you're posting such quality content. I need to take
141
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.639
a photo of that and put that up on social
142
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.160
media itself. It's happened multiple times this year, and I've
143
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.759
probably been lazier than I've been in a while on
144
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.439
social media, so I'm doing less. But somehow this is
145
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.399
quality content. I think because of how long my platform
146
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.720
and a lot of platforms that are very little, I
147
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.759
got censored because we were saying, as Rogan calls it,
148
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.839
inconvenient stuff, stuff that was inevitably true but not necessarily
149
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.720
favored by these outlets. Rogan goes on, though, to talk
150
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.839
about how big of an impact Elon Musk has had.
151
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.439
Totally accurate story and to stop that accurate story is wild.
152
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.079
Yes, that is scary stuff. Yes, it is that.
153
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.000
If Elon didn't purchase Twitter, we would have just had
154
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.800
to deal with that kind of stuff that would be
155
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.959
and it would accelerate, It wouldn't stay where it is,
156
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.279
it would ramp up, it would get more. They were
157
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.759
started to using the term malinformation, So there's misinformation, disinformation,
158
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.800
and then malinformation. Malinformation is factual information that might cause harm.
159
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.480
Yeah, that's crazy that they were using the those terms
160
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.079
in doing that, but that is absolutely true. Elon Musk
161
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.959
buying Twitter and allowing it to be a platform that
162
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.040
was uncensored comparative to the other ones. There's still some
163
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.040
censorship that exists there, but very very little. And as
164
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.120
Elon said, when he bought it, he was essentially only
165
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.480
going to censor out what would be illegal anyway, like
166
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.160
full on threats on other people's lives and things. There
167
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.399
would be you know, repercussions to that kind of behavior,
168
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.920
but other than that, almost nothing. A mainstream media went
169
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.279
crazy about it and told you how all of it was,
170
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.120
you know, essentially allowing the worst of society and people
171
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.200
who are white Supremacis, Nazis, or what have you. They
172
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.559
got a voice back by Twitter and Nick Shirley one
173
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.480
hundred million plus views on Twitter, one point five million
174
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.559
on YouTube or something like that, And I know the
175
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.799
views are calculated differently. I know that one hundred million
176
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.120
views on Twitter doesn't necessarily mean one hundred million people
177
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.559
watched all of that video or even all that much
178
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.919
of that video, but they're at least aware of the
179
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.840
story because they saw some version of it in their feed,
180
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.919
some version of information there. Sharing information at that scale
181
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.519
is vitally important to our society being able to protect itself,
182
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.480
especially when that information winds up being true and valuable,
183
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.320
which I think will be a byproduct of it being viral.
184
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759
Most people that I've talked to about this in response
185
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.480
to all these positives and what they call it like
186
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.200
maga media praise of Nick Shirley, which is hilarious that
187
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.720
they call it that because a YouTuber with a million
188
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.519
followers put out something that is easily demonstrated to be
189
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.679
true and easily demonstrated to be a horrible outing of
190
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.399
the ridiculousness of fraud in Minnesota that we all knew existed.
191
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.039
But people are attacking it for being white supremacist or
192
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.120
some crazy thing, which is insane to me, but it
193
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.159
definitely evens the playing field in a way that is
194
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.200
necessary for the liars to think they can't get away
195
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.440
with the lie. And our society only changes when the
196
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.000
liars think they can't get away with the lie. It
197
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.960
doesn't change when you catch a few liars and actually
198
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.120
the rest of them don't get caught, or you know
199
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.799
that they did something bad, but you benefit, so you
200
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.960
keep silent on it. It's the fact that the future
201
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.720
lie will not only be outed, but that eventually there
202
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.399
will be hopefully consequences to pay. And that's something that
203
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.000
I think that Scott Jennings and a lot of other
204
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.840
people have been talking about. Now, we can't just have
205
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.639
this be the end of this story. You can't just
206
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.679
have the depth of fraud, the amount of ways in
207
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.080
which Tim Walls feels uniquely connected to it, or ilhan
208
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.679
Omar or anyone else. You have to have that fully
209
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.840
investigated and people have to go to jail. People have
210
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.120
to be held responsible. This can't be a whoopsie are
211
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.879
bad mistake. The way that again, as I said to
212
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:45.639
open the show, there is millions and billions, hundreds of
213
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.399
billions of dollars of fraud that take place throughout the
214
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.919
country every single year. And so when people are asking,
215
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.960
how do we get back to a place where you
216
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.960
trust each other, where things get better, you hold the
217
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.399
bad guys responsible and straight to the other bad guys
218
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.480
that they won't be allowed to do this, and that
219
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720
if they do it, they'll actually have to go to jail.
220
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.639
It's very similar to the deterrent that exists right now
221
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.919
for people who are here illegally. By sending people back home,
222
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.679
you are demonstrating that the country is no longer wide
223
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.879
open to whatever you want, and we have severely impacted
224
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.600
the amount of people who are showing up at our
225
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.960
border right now. That is a deterrent. That's goal is
226
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.519
to change the way things are happening in society. We
227
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.679
have to do this as far as the people who
228
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.320
are doing bad things and defrauding our government in all
229
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.279
kinds of ways, defrauding us the taxpayers, even if those
230
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.240
people are eventually the government itself and all the ridiculous
231
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.879
kickbacks that we all think they're getting.
232
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.159
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
233
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.080
It's time for Dana's quick five.
234
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.639
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
235
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.840
Dana Show. A d Lash Dana Lash Radio, an x
236
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.600
on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to her. My
237
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.639
name is Craig Collins. Filling in. Bees now have legal rights.
238
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.559
Not here in the United States. This happened in the Amazon.
239
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.320
A stingless bee, specifically, one of the oldest bee species
240
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.200
in the world, needed to be protected, according to some
241
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.080
of the people who live there. In one of the
242
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.399
dumbest things I've read in this year as far as
243
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.799
news goes, the bees now have the right to a
244
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.200
healthy habitat, to certain life conditions. And here's my favorite one,
245
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.679
the ability to lawyer up if the bees feel and
246
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.000
I don't know how you'd assess this that something has
247
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.519
happened that's unfair to them, or I guess someone who
248
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.039
wants to speak for the bees feels as though they
249
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.080
need to sue somebody.
250
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.879
They can now do it in the Amazon. It is
251
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:35.720
a world first.
252
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.240
The first animal or species of animal that is capable
253
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.399
of getting its own lawyer to defend itself and speak
254
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.000
for the collection of bees that can take a class
255
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.639
sect in the lawsuit against I don't know who the
256
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.559
neighbor for being a jerk. I mean, this is a
257
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.440
real thing, an actual story, somewhere beyond stupid, and the
258
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.399
people who are a part of it are saying they
259
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.360
hope that it's the first of a whole bunch of
260
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.639
other animals getting legal rights and lawyers just finding a
261
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.679
new way to make a ton of money. I love
262
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.679
the amount of times that I get an email saying
263
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.039
I was a part of a class action lawsuit because
264
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.639
of Facebook or something, and I'm about to get ten
265
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.519
dollars in the mail, which I don't even think it's
266
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.720
actually come all that often. I don't think I get
267
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.919
the check, probably because I don't actually give them my
268
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.559
information to get the check, because I'd rather skip the
269
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.399
ten bucks than give an organization.
270
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.519
I don't know who it is this kind of stuff.
271
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.519
But now apparently the stingless Bees and Amazon in the
272
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.639
Amazon can be added to that list if their Facebook
273
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:29.519
pages are screwed up.
274
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.879
Man, oh man, how those lawsuits are going to grow?
275
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.159
How stupid this is.
276
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.480
Other things out there that I saw were interesting. Beyonce
277
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.200
is now a billionaire. I don't care about this story
278
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.080
at all, but someone out there might Beyonce is the
279
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.480
latest person to reach a billion dollars, which means that
280
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.200
California now officially wants to tax her because they want
281
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.480
to cover up their own fraud.
282
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:53.120
Good luck to.
283
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.960
All the people out there that now want to take
284
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.679
more money from Beyonce because she's too rich.
285
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.720
She's terrible.
286
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.320
We got to make sure to take all her money
287
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.000
away of the success she had. I think that's the narrative.
288
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.120
On the left right, defenseless Uber Eats robot was attacked
289
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.240
by two people. The people were dressed as a cow
290
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.200
and a Pikachu, which would be the Pokemon. There's so
291
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.440
many stories about this about drones and other things and
292
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.279
Uber Eats robots and stuff that get attacked that get
293
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.399
taken down. I guess they're going to need their own
294
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.360
legal defense team too at some point, which God forbid
295
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.320
we ever get there. But I do think that this
296
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.879
is pretty hilarious. There's a viral video of two costumed
297
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.600
individuals taking out an Uber Eats robot and somebody who
298
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.600
didn't get their food. Because this will be the inevitable
299
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.200
byproduct of a whole bunch more robots and drones in
300
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.320
our society. And by the way, one last thing about
301
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.279
the drone delivery. I know Amazon's a big fan of this.
302
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.159
I know they've been touting the ability for it to
303
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
happen in places like Dallas or parts of California and whatnot. Arizona,
304
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.240
I think, is doing it, and more and more places
305
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.240
are going to have it. The whole point of immediate
306
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
delivery by drone to me is that as a married man,
307
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.639
I forgot something. There's an anniversary that I screwed up on,
308
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.240
some sort of event that I was supposed to buy
309
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.480
something for that I have to look the missus dead
310
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.240
in the eyes and go, of course, I bought you
311
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.919
that thing for that that thing that you want to
312
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.960
go to, and then I have to order it by
313
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.919
drone and you pay the extra money for it to
314
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.440
fly into the backyard. My favorite idea in that thought
315
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.159
is that i'd also have to distract the misses well.
316
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.279
The drone delivers the thing that I claimed I've had
317
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.440
for a while, and that feels challenging. So maybe the
318
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.480
first thing I buy via drone is like the three
319
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.759
D goggle headset, so that I can tell her to
320
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.759
watch a movie and the three D goggles, and then
321
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.879
that's where I get the other thing delivered by drone.
322
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.360
But by and large I think I can wait the
323
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.159
extra day for whatever my item is. If I'm not
324
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.360
going to get in trouble from the misses because I've
325
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.960
forgotten something, I think I can wait one or two
326
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.480
days for someone to deliver it the old fashioned way
327
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.320
and not have to fly drones everywhere in the country.
328
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.320
It feels like it's a step unnecessary, and again, the
329
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.200
only time it's valuable to also be the time I
330
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.240
get in trouble for definitely have forgotten that thing. This
331
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.519
is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in,
332
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.559
thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff to
333
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.559
talk about d Lash. Dana Lash Radio and X on
334
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.879
Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her and
335
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.840
everything going on from her social media team. She's all
336
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.559
over the place, though you can find her everywhere the
337
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.399
first whatever you look for. Dana is very very famous,
338
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.320
so it's very easy to find her at radio Craig Z.
339
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.960
If you want to find someone who's way less famous
340
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.360
than her and occasionally gets to babysit this very cool show.
341
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:32.840
I Do love.
342
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.120
A viral chain of tweets a viral list of things
343
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.919
on x in which a whole bunch of these organizations
344
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.000
that are the fraudulent places in Minnesota are simply pictured.
345
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.559
You can see how closed they all look, and some
346
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.399
of the ridiculous names of some of the organizations. So
347
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.279
I'm gonna get that, get to that in a little bit,
348
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.200
because I do, I really like that. But there's another
349
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.960
story out there that seems like it's starting to grow
350
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.599
in scope, the amount of people who got fraudulent federal
351
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.839
rental assistant payments. At first, I think they told us
352
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.720
something like thirty thousand dead people got some sort of payment.
353
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.240
Five point eight billion dollars in questionable disbursements went out
354
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.839
in the fiscal year of twenty twenty four from the
355
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.359
Biden rental assistance program. And now there's an assumption that
356
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.359
there's like two hundred thousand dubious rental assistant recipients, a
357
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.440
whole bunch of people who might have never lived in
358
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.119
any of the places in which they were claiming to
359
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.920
live at po boxes, all kinds of things to demonstrate
360
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.480
how this money is getting stolen and then moved other places.
361
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.960
But at least thirty thousand dead people apparently needed rental
362
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.640
assistance in twenty twenty four that's got to be tough
363
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.279
to be not alive and then also have to still
364
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:49.799
pay your rent.
365
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.480
That's got to be.
366
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.480
Crazy to deal with that, as only somebody can if
367
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.400
they're defrauding the government. All right, let's go through it.
368
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.240
This list of all the different tweets on here found
369
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.279
pretty amusing. AO Children's Center is one that definitely is
370
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.799
not operating. It seems Lucky child Care Center, which doesn't
371
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.440
seem lucky at all as they have a ton of
372
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:15.400
overgrown grass in the area. Motherly Love Daycare, Inc.
373
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:16.240
Is another one.
374
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.920
It is connected to a meat and grocery market, which
375
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.039
you know how that feels appropriate You go go get
376
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.480
some Motherly Love childcare right next to grabbing some groceries
377
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.160
from the Halal meat market. Star Children Care Center, Apple
378
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:35.240
Childcare Center is also one that exists Future Scholars Childcare,
379
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.039
which seems like it's people that are definitely hoping for
380
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.519
a lot of great results to their non existent childcare.
381
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.160
I Care Child Center was one of my favorite ones
382
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.759
that was out there, and also Rising Stars Children Llc,
383
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:54.480
which has absolutely no building whatsoever. The address appears to
384
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.039
be close to a listing for a home that was
385
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.839
for sale online but not actually at it, So it
386
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.880
seems like someone adjusted the address based on what they
387
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.519
saw online to a place that doesn't exist at all.
388
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.240
So when you zoom in, you just see an empty
389
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.920
street and nothing. So really, hopefully rising stars are going
390
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.920
to be you know, cared for and groomed on that
391
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.960
busy highway street that they're claiming as an area.
392
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.119
But the list goes on and on.
393
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.680
There's so many crazy ones, and it just seems like
394
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.759
the kind of thing and Minnesota has known about this
395
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.799
for so long that you couldn't possibly have believed, Like
396
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.720
you can't possibly think that the amount of government people
397
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.119
necessary to okay this believe these things were real. And
398
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.440
by the way, one of the other crazy things that
399
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:43.039
happened recently in Minnesota, they have taken down the childcare
400
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:48.079
licensing page that was publicly available information that allowed for
401
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.920
a lot of people to look into these places and
402
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.200
allowed for Nick surely the YouTuber to visit a bunch
403
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.319
of the places that were likely to be fraudulent areas
404
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.839
and fraudulent childcare and whatnot. It's now how completely down
405
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.279
and the statement on the page says that there's a
406
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.680
high amount of volume and traffic and so they're working
407
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.359
on getting the website back up, but it definitely seems
408
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.200
like they're hiding things and they're terrified of what is
409
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.359
to come with more and more people potentially looking into this.
410
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.240
All of this is to set up audio of the
411
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.359
owner of the Quality Leering Center, the infamous place that
412
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.079
misspelled its learning in its same and then didn't fix it,
413
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.680
even though they've gotten millions of dollars in money from
414
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.079
the government. They thought that it was fine with the
415
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.799
one sign that's misspelled that nobody.
416
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.359
Cares, not a big deal. That guy didn't interview.
417
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.680
So not only did that establishment have kids at it yesterday,
418
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.240
which felt like an immediate response to the news coverage
419
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.240
and an attempt to pretend as though what happened on
420
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.079
Monday is what you can assume is happening all the time,
421
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:55.480
even though the reality is that probably wait a couple
422
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.279
weeks and no one's going to be showing up there again,
423
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.359
and many of the people in the neighborhoods that they've
424
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:02.319
never seen kids there. But anyway, somebody showed up, said
425
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.279
he was the play. The guy who runs it says
426
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.799
they operate all the time, says where are the people
427
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.119
that are checking to see if this is legit, et cetera,
428
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.279
et cetera. I'm not afraid of playing the news and
429
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.359
playing anybody on any side of it. So this is
430
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.920
a guy saying all this is lies, all this is crazy,
431
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.240
and the YouTuber is just targeting Somalians because of racism
432
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:22.759
or something.
433
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.559
But here we go.
434
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.559
Here's the way he goes about trying to say all this.
435
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.680
He does sound somewhat reasonable in the things he's saying,
436
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.599
but that's the point. He's doing this on purpose because
437
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.119
he knows how ridiculous it is to try to pretend
438
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.880
to the place he's in charge of air Quotes is
439
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.640
actually a real establishment taking care of kids, even though
440
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.279
it's been in trouble a tremendous amount of times in
441
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:46.920
the last few years for definitely not doing what they
442
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:47.559
claim they're doing.
443
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.039
But here we go.
444
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.160
What would you say to Nick Shirley, the YouTuber if
445
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.920
he was standing in front of you at him himself.
446
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.000
But I do have something.
447
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.000
I guess that rhetoric.
448
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.759
It's it's going to be a a journalist, just the
449
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.519
have a moral compass, like do what you do correctly, crazy,
450
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.039
you catch business down on fraud.
451
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.519
No one here it is with that, or well, we
452
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.799
don't support that as a community.
453
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.000
I don't support that myself.
454
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.000
I was going to race, I'm not for fraud. Uh
455
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.119
the notion that hey are.
456
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.400
Certain that's of somebody got hot, so all of us
457
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.119
supporting it's like, no no one in any community any
458
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.160
mishaps that happened. Dar'sa community obviously doesn't want that to happen.
459
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.319
He's a state on all of our names.
460
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:27.359
I love that he called it a mishap, by the way,
461
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.279
because if you're trying to dive deep into the things
462
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.920
that this guy is saying and how he's defending himself
463
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.079
and saying, of course it's not fraud, it's a bunch
464
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.680
of kids here. Look at the performative thing that we've
465
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.440
set up for today to make everybody. And we've invited
466
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.000
news and media here because we want them to know
467
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.920
that we're a real establishment and we're anti this. But
468
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.839
then he calls it a mishap. Billions of dollars of fraud.
469
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.599
Feels like it's a bigger thing than a mishap. And
470
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.599
I love that he says, I'm.
471
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.079
Not for it.
472
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.440
Who supports fraud? What version of a conversation would come
473
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.640
out there? And say the opposite. I mean, what moron
474
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.000
ever admits to their crime even when they're super caught
475
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.960
in the crime, when it's definitively obvious that they're lying.
476
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.440
What what people out there actually play guilty? Very very
477
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.000
few of them, if any. He's definitely going the other road,
478
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:14.799
and it's ridiculous. Let's let it continue.
479
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.680
Can see, we don't want that to happen. We don't
480
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.960
we don't take part in that. We don't like that,
481
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.359
we don't want that. KNU commedities. But just to say, hey,
482
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.000
oh sorry, company got so they must all do it.
483
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:25.559
I feel like that's what he's doing.
484
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.400
That's I'm not a venant.
485
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.720
Two ten pm may not be your typical daycare hours,
486
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.319
so can you explain why it is?
487
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.880
The reason for that is we're after school hours, so
488
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.319
most of our kinds, not most of our highs, all
489
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.119
of our clients.
490
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:40.960
Is after school hours.
491
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.279
So schools earliest dismissal would be two fifteen to two
492
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.720
thirty ish and the latest dismissal would be up to
493
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.519
like four thirty ish four forty ish. So that's when
494
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.319
artists come to us anyone in the morning.
495
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.440
I wish they mightn't even further with that, they're like,
496
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.039
we are one am to ten am.
497
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:58.039
Those are our hours.
498
00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:59.960
I don't know why anyone's not coming during our regular
499
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.200
We are the overnight childcare service that helps people who
500
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:06.599
need to check in their kids overnight. The other thing
501
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.000
that's funny about this, as he's saying it, and as
502
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.680
there is activity at the quality Leering Center, he did
503
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.920
say the reason for the lack of changing the sign
504
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:17.359
is just that they didn't think it was a big
505
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.440
deal and the graphic designer was the one who made
506
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.599
the mistake. Another the last the thing I love is
507
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.680
it's still not ninety nine kids, as Nick Shirley pointed
508
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.400
out when he confronted the business and no one was
509
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.000
there to open the doors. It's supposed to be ninety
510
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.440
nine children that are being taken care of daily according
511
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.039
to the government information that makes them get millions of
512
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.519
dollars in funding. And it's just one dude, one dude
513
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.680
in a T shirt with a coat on because it's Minnesota,
514
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.279
standing there and describing how his business is legitimate. If
515
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.720
they are making millions of dollars off the government, you
516
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.720
would think that they would actually have a ton of employees,
517
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.920
that there'd be a bunch of people there to take
518
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.200
care of the ninety nine kids, and then there'd be
519
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.759
a bunch of different other services, food and whatnot that
520
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.440
comes in, and a bunch of the places that cater
521
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.599
to these businesses that say they're taking care of children
522
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.759
or the elderly are actually family members of the people
523
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.000
who are running the facility in the first place. So
524
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.880
that's pretty convenient that the catering service I get is
525
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.400
just my relative who apparently is a really great cook
526
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.920
and deserves to be paid. They're millions of dollars for
527
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.400
the food they're making for our establishment or our organization.
528
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.160
It's just crazy, the unapologeticness of this fraud and now
529
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:35.039
the stupidity of trying to attempt to pretend as though
530
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:40.079
it's not happening, like they're offending the American people. Multiple
531
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.640
times in the short span of time that this story
532
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.599
has been a thing that's been in the national consciousness
533
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.759
and not just something that was more locally something people
534
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.240
talked about. As I said, they've been doing reports on
535
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.839
this occasionally in Minnesota for years. They haven't been talking
536
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.000
about it recently. Apparently no one in mainstream media cared
537
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.720
if any of those problems they noticed in eighteen or
538
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.839
nineteen ever got fixed. But the other thing that's so
539
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.359
offensive is how they think this will work. They think
540
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.519
people will believe it, and they've seen this before. One
541
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.519
of the childcare places that got in a lot of
542
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:16.039
trouble in Minnesota years ago actually did have performative versions
543
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:19.519
of parents coming with children, pretending to drop them off
544
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.319
at the child care facility, and then coming back shortly
545
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.480
after the drop off to pick them back up. And
546
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.400
the thing they found out was that many of these
547
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.440
parents were also getting money from the childcare company.
548
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.960
They were essentially the quote unquote employees who.
549
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.519
Were just pretending as though their kids went there in
550
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.519
case someone was watching the occasional visit to drop in,
551
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.440
you know, to check and see if something is going on,
552
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.039
if something is legitimate. That's how this works. If you
553
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.359
think there's attention, you might do it for a couple
554
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.880
of weeks, and then they'll go right back to having
555
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.160
absolutely nobody there when they think anyone is no longer
556
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.799
paying attention. The bad news for them, because of Nick
557
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.559
Shirley's of the world, is someone probably will always be
558
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.960
paying attention. Who that is might change, But the fact
559
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.759
that Everyone's going to forget this story seems highly unlikely.

1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.799
Dana Lashes of seard Truths podcast sponsored by Celtech. Four
2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:08.320
hundred thousand dollars of lobster was stolen in a seafood
3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.080
heightst that sounds really difficult to execute. It sounds like
4
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.439
the kind of thing that's more hassle than it's actually worth,
5
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.839
even if it's four hundred grand, because lobsters were all live.
6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.000
But here is a news report talking about a thing
7
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.839
that really happened in our society.
8
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.719
Four hundred thousand dollars worth of live lobsters headed for
9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.839
Costco were stolen from a Massachusetts shipping facility last week.
10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.039
The CEO of a logistics industry trade group. So the
11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.000
thief posed as a trucking company worker. And this is
12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.880
likely part of an organized cargo crime ring.
13
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.479
Of course it does. Things like that have sterial numbers.
14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.479
Again, those are targeted as well, but a little bit
15
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.399
easier to track obviously.
16
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.320
You know, lobster doesn't have a QR code on it.
17
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.039
Lobster we do, just have QR code onto you know,
18
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.679
track it down.
19
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.799
And this isn't the first time this has happened. It's
20
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.840
the second major seafood theft in December alone.
21
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:57.640
It is crazy.
22
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.920
That's crazy that we have so many different organized versions
23
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.320
of theft and chaos and other things going on. Not
24
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.840
that we don't know about this in our society, but
25
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.359
that it's gotten so bad that people are stealing four
26
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.680
hundred thousand dollars of live lobster by posing as members
27
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.959
of a trucking company. And again, I feel like the
28
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.879
hassle there. I'm not telling the criminals how to commit
29
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.840
crimes better. That's not the goal, that's not my intention.
30
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.719
But the hassle can't be worth it in that grand
31
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.400
scheme of things unless you're dropping them off very quickly
32
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.079
somewhere else. I wouldn't want to house the live lobster
33
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.840
for any amount of time before I exchange them to
34
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.879
some other place. I am trying to be a little
35
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.040
tongue in cheek about how I joke about this, because
36
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.400
it's terrible. It's awful to see, you know, that level
37
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.239
of crime in so many places in our society, but
38
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.159
it's definitely there. And also, again on the list of
39
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.560
things that I would ever steal, which I'm not intent
40
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.560
on stealing anything, live lobster would be way at the
41
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.879
bottom for things that you'd actually want to deal with.
42
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.480
A post theft.
43
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.959
Other things out there that I thought were kind of interesting.
44
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.879
A bunch of New Year's Eve events have been can
45
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.280
around the world, a lot of them for security concerns.
46
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.159
Many people are saying after the Bondi Beach attack in
47
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.360
Sydney or things like it, that they're concerned that the
48
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.159
New Year's Eve parties themselves will be targets for individuals.
49
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.879
I've always said this, and I'll say this here. It
50
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.840
is much better to keep the event and secure it,
51
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.840
and there's a whole lot of ways to do that,
52
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.360
then cancel the events and let the bad guys win.
53
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.759
The bad, horrible people out there who do bad, horrible
54
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.400
things want our society to have to choose between hosting
55
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.039
events and not hosting them, essentially handing power to the
56
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.199
people who do the bad things, when the reality is
57
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.080
that what we need to do is have a few
58
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.919
veterans stationed outside of places, security teams paid to protect places,
59
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.400
and if someone goes after something, it needs to be
60
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.280
a hard target, not a soft target, and the person
61
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.560
who goes after it needs to regret it. If we
62
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520
have enough of that happen in our society, these things
63
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.719
will stop. These things will at least become less commonplace.
64
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.080
That is always the problem that stares us in the
65
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.840
eye that so many people want to ignore, is that
66
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.599
you need to make targets harder, and you need to
67
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.280
make people capable of being harmed for trying to harm
68
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.639
others without having to be worried.
69
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.960
That at some point today you know, the cops show up.
70
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.240
You need to have people in place, in positions of capability,
71
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.319
with training necessary to do it, to immediately stop threats
72
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.560
that just needs to happen. More of our society needs
73
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.360
to be like that. That is acceptance of the reality
74
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.879
of the world we live in. Not this not the
75
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.759
canceling of events because we're too afraid of trying to
76
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.159
do the right thing and protect them the way that
77
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
we need to. But it's uniquely a shame that I
78
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.879
saw that story out of the UK and at about
79
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.719
a bunch of places about how many events this time
80
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.080
of year are being canceled, and how many people might
81
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.000
be afraid to even go places in general because of
82
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.919
that threat risk. I'm afraid to go nowhere because I'm are,
83
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.039
and I think.
84
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.599
You should be too.
85
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.520
But none of that is what I actually want to
86
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.879
talk about. I'd actually rather talk about a clip from
87
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.080
Joe Rogan's podcast that went very viral. This is on
88
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.399
the heels of the Nick Shirley video that went, of
89
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.360
course very viral, and the reason Shirley was so important
90
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.920
independent journalists a million, I think subscribers on YouTube before
91
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.480
he put this video out, only like a million and
92
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.920
a half views on YouTube according to that platform, but
93
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.759
one hundred million plus views on Twitter. And this is
94
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.759
kind of, I think where Rogan is going, the censorship
95
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.279
of society at a time when technology allows all of
96
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.360
us to rise to the top of the news totem
97
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.079
pull and do something that mainstream media should have been doing,
98
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.000
that local news media should have been doing and didn't do.
99
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.959
Visit all these locations that are potentially very fraudulent places
100
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.199
in Minnesota, taking millions of dollars for childcare and autism
101
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.399
care and everything else and not doing any of that
102
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.959
work at all. A YouTuber was capable of doing more
103
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.920
in twenty four hours than media was willing to do,
104
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.439
if not capable to do for quite a bit longer.
105
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.480
But here's part of what Rogan said. There's a bad
106
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.759
word in here that we cleaned up, so I will
107
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.399
definitely have to skip over that bit, but a lot
108
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:23.480
of really interesting stuff.
109
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.560
I said here with.
110
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.079
Now Elon purchased Twitter, and I don't say this lightly.
111
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.800
I think he changed the course of civilization. I really do.
112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.240
I think we were on our way to this weird
113
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.600
dystopian censor censorship complex that was already moving. We had
114
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.519
already had intelligence agencies that were contacting Twitter. We know
115
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.040
this through the Twitter files, and they were banning certain
116
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.360
people that weren't saying incorrect things, but they were seeing
117
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.040
things that were inconvenient, and they turned out to all
118
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.720
be accurate. All the things that they were warning about,
119
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.399
all the things that they're saying, all turned out to
120
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.360
be accurate. They stopped the distribution of the Hunter Biden
121
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.480
laptop story.
122
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.639
Yeah, and I'll stop it right there.
123
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.560
He uses that as one example of what he's saying
124
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.240
that there's a lot of things that turned out to
125
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.639
be accurate and true from the quote unquote conspiracy theorists
126
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.000
that we're all getting silenced and having their platforms shrunk
127
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.519
on social media. What's funny about that. I wasn't deep
128
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.839
diving into the world of conspiracy theory at the time,
129
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.759
but I certainly was giving my opinion and I was
130
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.240
on a radio station in Illinois. At the moment, my
131
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.959
social media feeds I think were censored. And the only
132
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.560
reason I think that is because in the last year,
133
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.720
every time I post anything on any of my radio
134
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.959
craigse on social media if you want to find me
135
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.480
not a huge following anywhere, but anytime I post anything
136
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.079
like a picture, just you know, text posts something that's
137
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.199
not even really valuable, Facebook and some of the other
138
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.040
places tell me my reach has been extended, like hey,
139
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.439
just letting you know we've expanded the reach you have
140
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.600
because you're posting such quality content. I need to take
141
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.639
a photo of that and put that up on social
142
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.160
media itself. It's happened multiple times this year, and I've
143
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.759
probably been lazier than I've been in a while on
144
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.439
social media, so I'm doing less. But somehow this is
145
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.399
quality content. I think because of how long my platform
146
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.720
and a lot of platforms that are very little, I
147
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.759
got censored because we were saying, as Rogan calls it,
148
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.839
inconvenient stuff, stuff that was inevitably true but not necessarily
149
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.720
favored by these outlets. Rogan goes on, though, to talk
150
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.839
about how big of an impact Elon Musk has had.
151
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.439
Totally accurate story and to stop that accurate story is wild.
152
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.079
Yes, that is scary stuff. Yes, it is that.
153
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.000
If Elon didn't purchase Twitter, we would have just had
154
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.800
to deal with that kind of stuff that would be
155
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.959
and it would accelerate, It wouldn't stay where it is,
156
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.279
it would ramp up, it would get more. They were
157
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.759
started to using the term malinformation, So there's misinformation, disinformation,
158
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.800
and then malinformation. Malinformation is factual information that might cause harm.
159
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.480
Yeah, that's crazy that they were using the those terms
160
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.079
in doing that, but that is absolutely true. Elon Musk
161
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.959
buying Twitter and allowing it to be a platform that
162
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.040
was uncensored comparative to the other ones. There's still some
163
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.040
censorship that exists there, but very very little. And as
164
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.120
Elon said, when he bought it, he was essentially only
165
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.480
going to censor out what would be illegal anyway, like
166
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.160
full on threats on other people's lives and things. There
167
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.399
would be you know, repercussions to that kind of behavior,
168
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.920
but other than that, almost nothing. A mainstream media went
169
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.279
crazy about it and told you how all of it was,
170
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.120
you know, essentially allowing the worst of society and people
171
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.200
who are white Supremacis, Nazis, or what have you. They
172
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.559
got a voice back by Twitter and Nick Shirley one
173
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.480
hundred million plus views on Twitter, one point five million
174
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.559
on YouTube or something like that, And I know the
175
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.799
views are calculated differently. I know that one hundred million
176
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.120
views on Twitter doesn't necessarily mean one hundred million people
177
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.559
watched all of that video or even all that much
178
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.919
of that video, but they're at least aware of the
179
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.840
story because they saw some version of it in their feed,
180
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.919
some version of information there. Sharing information at that scale
181
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.519
is vitally important to our society being able to protect itself,
182
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.480
especially when that information winds up being true and valuable,
183
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.320
which I think will be a byproduct of it being viral.
184
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759
Most people that I've talked to about this in response
185
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.480
to all these positives and what they call it like
186
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.200
maga media praise of Nick Shirley, which is hilarious that
187
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.720
they call it that because a YouTuber with a million
188
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.519
followers put out something that is easily demonstrated to be
189
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.679
true and easily demonstrated to be a horrible outing of
190
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.399
the ridiculousness of fraud in Minnesota that we all knew existed.
191
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.039
But people are attacking it for being white supremacist or
192
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.120
some crazy thing, which is insane to me, but it
193
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.159
definitely evens the playing field in a way that is
194
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.200
necessary for the liars to think they can't get away
195
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.440
with the lie. And our society only changes when the
196
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.000
liars think they can't get away with the lie. It
197
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.960
doesn't change when you catch a few liars and actually
198
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.120
the rest of them don't get caught, or you know
199
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.799
that they did something bad, but you benefit, so you
200
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.960
keep silent on it. It's the fact that the future
201
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.720
lie will not only be outed, but that eventually there
202
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.399
will be hopefully consequences to pay. And that's something that
203
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.000
I think that Scott Jennings and a lot of other
204
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.840
people have been talking about. Now, we can't just have
205
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.639
this be the end of this story. You can't just
206
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.679
have the depth of fraud, the amount of ways in
207
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.080
which Tim Walls feels uniquely connected to it, or ilhan
208
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.679
Omar or anyone else. You have to have that fully
209
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.840
investigated and people have to go to jail. People have
210
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.120
to be held responsible. This can't be a whoopsie are
211
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.879
bad mistake. The way that again, as I said to
212
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:45.639
open the show, there is millions and billions, hundreds of
213
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.399
billions of dollars of fraud that take place throughout the
214
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.919
country every single year. And so when people are asking,
215
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.960
how do we get back to a place where you
216
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.960
trust each other, where things get better, you hold the
217
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.399
bad guys responsible and straight to the other bad guys
218
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.480
that they won't be allowed to do this, and that
219
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720
if they do it, they'll actually have to go to jail.
220
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.639
It's very similar to the deterrent that exists right now
221
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.919
for people who are here illegally. By sending people back home,
222
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.679
you are demonstrating that the country is no longer wide
223
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.879
open to whatever you want, and we have severely impacted
224
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.600
the amount of people who are showing up at our
225
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.960
border right now. That is a deterrent. That's goal is
226
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.519
to change the way things are happening in society. We
227
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.679
have to do this as far as the people who
228
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.320
are doing bad things and defrauding our government in all
229
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.279
kinds of ways, defrauding us the taxpayers, even if those
230
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.240
people are eventually the government itself and all the ridiculous
231
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.879
kickbacks that we all think they're getting.
232
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.159
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
233
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.080
It's time for Dana's quick five.
234
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.639
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
235
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.840
Dana Show. A d Lash Dana Lash Radio, an x
236
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.600
on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to her. My
237
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.639
name is Craig Collins. Filling in. Bees now have legal rights.
238
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.559
Not here in the United States. This happened in the Amazon.
239
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.320
A stingless bee, specifically, one of the oldest bee species
240
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.200
in the world, needed to be protected, according to some
241
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.080
of the people who live there. In one of the
242
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.399
dumbest things I've read in this year as far as
243
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.799
news goes, the bees now have the right to a
244
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.200
healthy habitat, to certain life conditions. And here's my favorite one,
245
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.679
the ability to lawyer up if the bees feel and
246
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.000
I don't know how you'd assess this that something has
247
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.519
happened that's unfair to them, or I guess someone who
248
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.039
wants to speak for the bees feels as though they
249
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.080
need to sue somebody.
250
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.879
They can now do it in the Amazon. It is
251
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:35.720
a world first.
252
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.240
The first animal or species of animal that is capable
253
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.399
of getting its own lawyer to defend itself and speak
254
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.000
for the collection of bees that can take a class
255
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.639
sect in the lawsuit against I don't know who the
256
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.559
neighbor for being a jerk. I mean, this is a
257
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.440
real thing, an actual story, somewhere beyond stupid, and the
258
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.399
people who are a part of it are saying they
259
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.360
hope that it's the first of a whole bunch of
260
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.639
other animals getting legal rights and lawyers just finding a
261
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.679
new way to make a ton of money. I love
262
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.679
the amount of times that I get an email saying
263
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.039
I was a part of a class action lawsuit because
264
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.639
of Facebook or something, and I'm about to get ten
265
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.519
dollars in the mail, which I don't even think it's
266
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.720
actually come all that often. I don't think I get
267
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.919
the check, probably because I don't actually give them my
268
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.559
information to get the check, because I'd rather skip the
269
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.399
ten bucks than give an organization.
270
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.519
I don't know who it is this kind of stuff.
271
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.519
But now apparently the stingless Bees and Amazon in the
272
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.639
Amazon can be added to that list if their Facebook
273
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:29.519
pages are screwed up.
274
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.879
Man, oh man, how those lawsuits are going to grow?
275
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.159
How stupid this is.
276
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.480
Other things out there that I saw were interesting. Beyonce
277
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.200
is now a billionaire. I don't care about this story
278
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.080
at all, but someone out there might Beyonce is the
279
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.480
latest person to reach a billion dollars, which means that
280
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.200
California now officially wants to tax her because they want
281
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.480
to cover up their own fraud.
282
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:53.120
Good luck to.
283
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.960
All the people out there that now want to take
284
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.679
more money from Beyonce because she's too rich.
285
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.720
She's terrible.
286
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.320
We got to make sure to take all her money
287
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.000
away of the success she had. I think that's the narrative.
288
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.120
On the left right, defenseless Uber Eats robot was attacked
289
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.240
by two people. The people were dressed as a cow
290
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.200
and a Pikachu, which would be the Pokemon. There's so
291
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.440
many stories about this about drones and other things and
292
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.279
Uber Eats robots and stuff that get attacked that get
293
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.399
taken down. I guess they're going to need their own
294
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.360
legal defense team too at some point, which God forbid
295
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.320
we ever get there. But I do think that this
296
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.879
is pretty hilarious. There's a viral video of two costumed
297
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.600
individuals taking out an Uber Eats robot and somebody who
298
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.600
didn't get their food. Because this will be the inevitable
299
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.200
byproduct of a whole bunch more robots and drones in
300
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.320
our society. And by the way, one last thing about
301
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.279
the drone delivery. I know Amazon's a big fan of this.
302
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.159
I know they've been touting the ability for it to
303
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
happen in places like Dallas or parts of California and whatnot. Arizona,
304
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.240
I think, is doing it, and more and more places
305
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.240
are going to have it. The whole point of immediate
306
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
delivery by drone to me is that as a married man,
307
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.639
I forgot something. There's an anniversary that I screwed up on,
308
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.240
some sort of event that I was supposed to buy
309
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.480
something for that I have to look the missus dead
310
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.240
in the eyes and go, of course, I bought you
311
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.919
that thing for that that thing that you want to
312
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.960
go to, and then I have to order it by
313
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.919
drone and you pay the extra money for it to
314
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.440
fly into the backyard. My favorite idea in that thought
315
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.159
is that i'd also have to distract the misses well.
316
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.279
The drone delivers the thing that I claimed I've had
317
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.440
for a while, and that feels challenging. So maybe the
318
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.480
first thing I buy via drone is like the three
319
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.759
D goggle headset, so that I can tell her to
320
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.759
watch a movie and the three D goggles, and then
321
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.879
that's where I get the other thing delivered by drone.
322
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.360
But by and large I think I can wait the
323
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.159
extra day for whatever my item is. If I'm not
324
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.360
going to get in trouble from the misses because I've
325
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.960
forgotten something, I think I can wait one or two
326
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.480
days for someone to deliver it the old fashioned way
327
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.320
and not have to fly drones everywhere in the country.
328
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.320
It feels like it's a step unnecessary, and again, the
329
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.200
only time it's valuable to also be the time I
330
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.240
get in trouble for definitely have forgotten that thing. This
331
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.519
is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in,
332
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.559
thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff to
333
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.559
talk about d Lash. Dana Lash Radio and X on
334
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.879
Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her and
335
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.840
everything going on from her social media team. She's all
336
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.559
over the place, though you can find her everywhere the
337
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.399
first whatever you look for. Dana is very very famous,
338
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.320
so it's very easy to find her at radio Craig Z.
339
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.960
If you want to find someone who's way less famous
340
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.360
than her and occasionally gets to babysit this very cool show.
341
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:32.840
I Do love.
342
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.120
A viral chain of tweets a viral list of things
343
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.919
on x in which a whole bunch of these organizations
344
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.000
that are the fraudulent places in Minnesota are simply pictured.
345
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.559
You can see how closed they all look, and some
346
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.399
of the ridiculous names of some of the organizations. So
347
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.279
I'm gonna get that, get to that in a little bit,
348
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.200
because I do, I really like that. But there's another
349
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.960
story out there that seems like it's starting to grow
350
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.599
in scope, the amount of people who got fraudulent federal
351
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.839
rental assistant payments. At first, I think they told us
352
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.720
something like thirty thousand dead people got some sort of payment.
353
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.240
Five point eight billion dollars in questionable disbursements went out
354
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.839
in the fiscal year of twenty twenty four from the
355
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.359
Biden rental assistance program. And now there's an assumption that
356
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.359
there's like two hundred thousand dubious rental assistant recipients, a
357
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.440
whole bunch of people who might have never lived in
358
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.119
any of the places in which they were claiming to
359
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.920
live at po boxes, all kinds of things to demonstrate
360
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.480
how this money is getting stolen and then moved other places.
361
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.960
But at least thirty thousand dead people apparently needed rental
362
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.640
assistance in twenty twenty four that's got to be tough
363
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.279
to be not alive and then also have to still
364
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:49.799
pay your rent.
365
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.480
That's got to be.
366
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.480
Crazy to deal with that, as only somebody can if
367
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.400
they're defrauding the government. All right, let's go through it.
368
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.240
This list of all the different tweets on here found
369
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.279
pretty amusing. AO Children's Center is one that definitely is
370
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.799
not operating. It seems Lucky child Care Center, which doesn't
371
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.440
seem lucky at all as they have a ton of
372
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:15.400
overgrown grass in the area. Motherly Love Daycare, Inc.
373
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:16.240
Is another one.
374
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.920
It is connected to a meat and grocery market, which
375
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.039
you know how that feels appropriate You go go get
376
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.480
some Motherly Love childcare right next to grabbing some groceries
377
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.160
from the Halal meat market. Star Children Care Center, Apple
378
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:35.240
Childcare Center is also one that exists Future Scholars Childcare,
379
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.039
which seems like it's people that are definitely hoping for
380
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.519
a lot of great results to their non existent childcare.
381
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.160
I Care Child Center was one of my favorite ones
382
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.759
that was out there, and also Rising Stars Children Llc,
383
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:54.480
which has absolutely no building whatsoever. The address appears to
384
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.039
be close to a listing for a home that was
385
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.839
for sale online but not actually at it, So it
386
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.880
seems like someone adjusted the address based on what they
387
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.519
saw online to a place that doesn't exist at all.
388
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.240
So when you zoom in, you just see an empty
389
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.920
street and nothing. So really, hopefully rising stars are going
390
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.920
to be you know, cared for and groomed on that
391
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.960
busy highway street that they're claiming as an area.
392
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.119
But the list goes on and on.
393
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.680
There's so many crazy ones, and it just seems like
394
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.759
the kind of thing and Minnesota has known about this
395
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.799
for so long that you couldn't possibly have believed, Like
396
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.720
you can't possibly think that the amount of government people
397
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.119
necessary to okay this believe these things were real. And
398
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.440
by the way, one of the other crazy things that
399
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:43.039
happened recently in Minnesota, they have taken down the childcare
400
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:48.079
licensing page that was publicly available information that allowed for
401
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.920
a lot of people to look into these places and
402
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.200
allowed for Nick surely the YouTuber to visit a bunch
403
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.319
of the places that were likely to be fraudulent areas
404
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.839
and fraudulent childcare and whatnot. It's now how completely down
405
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.279
and the statement on the page says that there's a
406
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.680
high amount of volume and traffic and so they're working
407
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.359
on getting the website back up, but it definitely seems
408
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.200
like they're hiding things and they're terrified of what is
409
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.359
to come with more and more people potentially looking into this.
410
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.240
All of this is to set up audio of the
411
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.359
owner of the Quality Leering Center, the infamous place that
412
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.079
misspelled its learning in its same and then didn't fix it,
413
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.680
even though they've gotten millions of dollars in money from
414
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.079
the government. They thought that it was fine with the
415
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.799
one sign that's misspelled that nobody.
416
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.359
Cares, not a big deal. That guy didn't interview.
417
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.680
So not only did that establishment have kids at it yesterday,
418
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.240
which felt like an immediate response to the news coverage
419
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.240
and an attempt to pretend as though what happened on
420
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.079
Monday is what you can assume is happening all the time,
421
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:55.480
even though the reality is that probably wait a couple
422
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.279
weeks and no one's going to be showing up there again,
423
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.359
and many of the people in the neighborhoods that they've
424
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:02.319
never seen kids there. But anyway, somebody showed up, said
425
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.279
he was the play. The guy who runs it says
426
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.799
they operate all the time, says where are the people
427
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.119
that are checking to see if this is legit, et cetera,
428
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.279
et cetera. I'm not afraid of playing the news and
429
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.359
playing anybody on any side of it. So this is
430
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.920
a guy saying all this is lies, all this is crazy,
431
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.240
and the YouTuber is just targeting Somalians because of racism
432
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:22.759
or something.
433
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.559
But here we go.
434
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.559
Here's the way he goes about trying to say all this.
435
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.680
He does sound somewhat reasonable in the things he's saying,
436
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.599
but that's the point. He's doing this on purpose because
437
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.119
he knows how ridiculous it is to try to pretend
438
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.880
to the place he's in charge of air Quotes is
439
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.640
actually a real establishment taking care of kids, even though
440
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.279
it's been in trouble a tremendous amount of times in
441
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:46.920
the last few years for definitely not doing what they
442
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:47.559
claim they're doing.
443
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.039
But here we go.
444
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.160
What would you say to Nick Shirley, the YouTuber if
445
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.920
he was standing in front of you at him himself.
446
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.000
But I do have something.
447
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.000
I guess that rhetoric.
448
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.759
It's it's going to be a a journalist, just the
449
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.519
have a moral compass, like do what you do correctly, crazy,
450
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.039
you catch business down on fraud.
451
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.519
No one here it is with that, or well, we
452
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.799
don't support that as a community.
453
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.000
I don't support that myself.
454
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.000
I was going to race, I'm not for fraud. Uh
455
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.119
the notion that hey are.
456
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.400
Certain that's of somebody got hot, so all of us
457
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.119
supporting it's like, no no one in any community any
458
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.160
mishaps that happened. Dar'sa community obviously doesn't want that to happen.
459
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.319
He's a state on all of our names.
460
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:27.359
I love that he called it a mishap, by the way,
461
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.279
because if you're trying to dive deep into the things
462
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.920
that this guy is saying and how he's defending himself
463
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.079
and saying, of course it's not fraud, it's a bunch
464
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.680
of kids here. Look at the performative thing that we've
465
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.440
set up for today to make everybody. And we've invited
466
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.000
news and media here because we want them to know
467
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.920
that we're a real establishment and we're anti this. But
468
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.839
then he calls it a mishap. Billions of dollars of fraud.
469
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.599
Feels like it's a bigger thing than a mishap. And
470
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.599
I love that he says, I'm.
471
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.079
Not for it.
472
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.440
Who supports fraud? What version of a conversation would come
473
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.640
out there? And say the opposite. I mean, what moron
474
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.000
ever admits to their crime even when they're super caught
475
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.960
in the crime, when it's definitively obvious that they're lying.
476
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.440
What what people out there actually play guilty? Very very
477
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.000
few of them, if any. He's definitely going the other road,
478
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:14.799
and it's ridiculous. Let's let it continue.
479
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.680
Can see, we don't want that to happen. We don't
480
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.960
we don't take part in that. We don't like that,
481
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.359
we don't want that. KNU commedities. But just to say, hey,
482
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.000
oh sorry, company got so they must all do it.
483
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:25.559
I feel like that's what he's doing.
484
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.400
That's I'm not a venant.
485
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.720
Two ten pm may not be your typical daycare hours,
486
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.319
so can you explain why it is?
487
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.880
The reason for that is we're after school hours, so
488
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.319
most of our kinds, not most of our highs, all
489
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.119
of our clients.
490
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:40.960
Is after school hours.
491
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.279
So schools earliest dismissal would be two fifteen to two
492
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.720
thirty ish and the latest dismissal would be up to
493
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.519
like four thirty ish four forty ish. So that's when
494
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.319
artists come to us anyone in the morning.
495
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.440
I wish they mightn't even further with that, they're like,
496
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.039
we are one am to ten am.
497
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:58.039
Those are our hours.
498
00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:59.960
I don't know why anyone's not coming during our regular
499
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.200
We are the overnight childcare service that helps people who
500
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:06.599
need to check in their kids overnight. The other thing
501
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.000
that's funny about this, as he's saying it, and as
502
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.680
there is activity at the quality Leering Center, he did
503
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.920
say the reason for the lack of changing the sign
504
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:17.359
is just that they didn't think it was a big
505
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.440
deal and the graphic designer was the one who made
506
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.599
the mistake. Another the last the thing I love is
507
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.680
it's still not ninety nine kids, as Nick Shirley pointed
508
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.400
out when he confronted the business and no one was
509
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.000
there to open the doors. It's supposed to be ninety
510
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.440
nine children that are being taken care of daily according
511
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.039
to the government information that makes them get millions of
512
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.519
dollars in funding. And it's just one dude, one dude
513
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.680
in a T shirt with a coat on because it's Minnesota,
514
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.279
standing there and describing how his business is legitimate. If
515
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.720
they are making millions of dollars off the government, you
516
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.720
would think that they would actually have a ton of employees,
517
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.920
that there'd be a bunch of people there to take
518
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.200
care of the ninety nine kids, and then there'd be
519
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.759
a bunch of different other services, food and whatnot that
520
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.440
comes in, and a bunch of the places that cater
521
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.599
to these businesses that say they're taking care of children
522
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.759
or the elderly are actually family members of the people
523
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.000
who are running the facility in the first place. So
524
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.880
that's pretty convenient that the catering service I get is
525
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.400
just my relative who apparently is a really great cook
526
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.920
and deserves to be paid. They're millions of dollars for
527
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.400
the food they're making for our establishment or our organization.
528
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.160
It's just crazy, the unapologeticness of this fraud and now
529
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:35.039
the stupidity of trying to attempt to pretend as though
530
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:40.079
it's not happening, like they're offending the American people. Multiple
531
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.640
times in the short span of time that this story
532
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.599
has been a thing that's been in the national consciousness
533
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.759
and not just something that was more locally something people
534
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.240
talked about. As I said, they've been doing reports on
535
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.839
this occasionally in Minnesota for years. They haven't been talking
536
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.000
about it recently. Apparently no one in mainstream media cared
537
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.720
if any of those problems they noticed in eighteen or
538
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.839
nineteen ever got fixed. But the other thing that's so
539
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.359
offensive is how they think this will work. They think
540
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.519
people will believe it, and they've seen this before. One
541
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.519
of the childcare places that got in a lot of
542
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:16.039
trouble in Minnesota years ago actually did have performative versions
543
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:19.519
of parents coming with children, pretending to drop them off
544
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.319
at the child care facility, and then coming back shortly
545
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.480
after the drop off to pick them back up. And
546
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.400
the thing they found out was that many of these
547
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.440
parents were also getting money from the childcare company.
548
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.960
They were essentially the quote unquote employees who.
549
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.519
Were just pretending as though their kids went there in
550
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.519
case someone was watching the occasional visit to drop in,
551
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.440
you know, to check and see if something is going on,
552
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.039
if something is legitimate. That's how this works. If you
553
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.359
think there's attention, you might do it for a couple
554
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.880
of weeks, and then they'll go right back to having
555
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.160
absolutely nobody there when they think anyone is no longer
556
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.799
paying attention. The bad news for them, because of Nick
557
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.559
Shirley's of the world, is someone probably will always be
558
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.960
paying attention. Who that is might change, But the fact
559
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.759
that Everyone's going to forget this story seems highly unlikely.
