Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time for
Florida Man Man. I don't even know what Florida Man
was doing over Thanksgiving weekend, but apparently it was something else.

(00:22):
So first up, I'm gonna do this one, the cockroach
cheating one. This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
A Florida man kicked the bucket after choking on live
cockroaches and a disgusting eating contest. So he consumed numerous
live cockroaches and the grand prize is a python. He

(00:46):
suffered fatal asphyxiation when he choked to death on one.
Oh my gosh, I cannot even read the story. I
am dying right now. It was called the Midnight Madness
marketing event at a reptile store. I can't believe if
someone wanted a python, you can just go into the
damn swamp and get it for free, you know, I mean,
there's that many. You don't need to eat live bugs.

(01:09):
There's an entomology student who witnessed it, and oh my gosh,
they and these things were three to four inches in length.
Oh my god. Yeah. Uh huh, I'm done with all
of this. I oh, that's so lame. If you're a
store and you're doing that, that's that's Uh well, we're

(01:31):
all I'm sorry. A Florida farmer opened fire in a
bar after an argument over how many eggs a hen
lays when.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't think so. No, that was a different one,
was it. Did we do this one? I don't think
we did, you know, and our luck it's probably like
an actual other. Uh another Florida man. Okay, so let's
talk about then the guy who sprayed barbecue sauce everywhere?
How about that one? I bet you don't have. Alan Kne,

(02:05):
Florida man was arrested because he broke into a home
and sprayed barbecue sauce on all the walls and furniture
before the house caught on fire. Chimney Christmas he has? Yeah,
Evan Hunter Hammock. I don't like his name. Twenty Gainesville.
He was arrested because he broke into a house, sprayed
barbecue sauce on all of the walls and furniture before

(02:26):
the house caught on fire. Now, they did say that
arson charges may be filed, so there's a possibility that
he also burned the house down in addition to spraying
it with barbecue. It sounds like he was very confused
to style barbecues work, I feel like. And it happened
about six in the morning and they responded. They took
him in the custody, but they may still file that

(02:48):
arson charged. Stick with us. We've got more in store. Celtech.
The Peacekeepers program something that they're doing. It supports people
who protect you know, churches and our schools and law enforcement,
all of that. School resource officers. There are a lot
of faith based teams in SROs that they rely on
small concealable pistols, you know, nine millimeters. Celtech has long

(03:11):
guns that solve that issue because those long guns can
fold up compact for a discrete carry and deployment in
seconds with full rifle capability. They also get mission ready
support the folks in the Peacekeepers program like extra platform
testing and armorer training, and they also get direct Peacekeeper

(03:31):
pricing for budget conscious organizations as well. Programs already active.
They've equipped over a dozen churches through the Faith Based
Security Network, every Brevard County school as well as some
other schools. They use our fifty defenders and you have
some that use KSGS and sub two ks. But they've
been partnering with the Faith Based Security Network and giving
people access to this training as well as the pricing

(03:54):
and everything made right here in the USAA. So if
you're interested in the new Peacekeepers program, use the contact
format took Weapons dot com slash Dana. It's Kate E
l t e c Weapons dot com slash Dana. Tell
them Dana SNT you welcome back to the program top
of this third hour Chats at Rumble. Also, you can

(04:15):
stream the radio program Channel three forty seven Direct TV
as well. And don't forget the sub chapter and verse
and our podcast Apple Go subscribe. I have to share
this story with you because it's Chef's Kiss satisfying. Michael
Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones a very upset. They are

(04:38):
reportedly furious over their sons on air humiliation on CNN.
They are upset because their son Dylan, who does he
host another NAPO bebe with a podcast? Is that how
I understand it. I don't know what the hell this
kid does. He's a fetus and he hosts a podcast

(05:01):
or radio whatever. Anyway, he was on CNN a roundtable discussion,
and he got into it with a couple of people,
including Scott Jennings, and he it did not go very
well for him at all. He like started stuttering in
the middle of one of his answers and sorry, he's
a clump of cells, think you can't. And he started
just stumbling and muttering through one of his answers and

(05:23):
it all fell apart and his parents were livid. First,
let me just share this is what happened. Uh, this
was cut. Sorry, I gonna pull up my audio. I
lost it. What Yes, this is this is the flashback
of thirty yeah, thirty one. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Listen, Beck, you cannot put on the American people that
Democrats were one that were hurting people making this plight.
Who was casting the votes against opening the government? Democrats
or Republicans? Who was well? Who was casting the votes?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Scott?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who's wanting to cut Snap benefits? Nobody? And Republican playing
Snap benefits after two courts ruled that it was unallowed,
Republicans voted to fund Snap fifteen times. Democrats voted to
defund it. And we talked about the affordable you talk
about the affordable health legislation is not perfect, you understand it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
They immediately had to America, and then he and then
even after this, so he immediately had a pivot, and
then he still got owned after that. So his parents,
Michael Douglas Catherine Zeta Jones, were very reportedly displeased over
the manner in which their son was humiliated. They they said,
apparently they they it's being reported that they intend to

(06:36):
blacklist the entire network, and they think CNN crossed the
line by having him on in the first place. I agree.
They informed one of those gossip columnists insiders apparently about
the Douglas and Zata Jones' reaction. They were said to
be so furious that they want to blacklist the whole network,
and Xata Jones apparently was ranting to her friends about

(06:58):
how the interview was unfair, exploitative, what and Douglas apparently
said that the outlet crossed a line and they are
angry because they knew he was not prepared for such
a heated debate. One aid or one source said, quote,
Dylan's never been spoken to like that in his entire life.

(07:20):
He's always been the golden boy, ador protected. Sanna gave
him a taste of the real world, and his parents
hated every second of it. I'm just going to say
that politics may not be for you, bebe, it may
not be for you if you're going to be that
hurt by it. Oh my gosh. And he just really
it's not a lot of people I think expect to be,

(07:42):
you know, coddled, and and that's just not how it goes.
It's like how I see Neipo babies, Nippa bebe sometimes
being on Fox. There are a number of Look, some
of these people are my friends, but I don't want
to see your damn nineteen year old kids sitting in
here lecturing all of us about tax policy. My gosh,
they don't even pay taxes. No, but I think you
got to have a little skin. And actually, I don't
care if you're offended, just like eat my shorts. I

(08:04):
don't care. I don't care. It's not about being offended.
And if people are offended over descent, then you are
literally too weak for this biz. Get out. But I'm
just I thought it was funny because I saw this
from New York Post Nikki Haley's son. They said he
has views to the far right of his mom. So
apparently he's like Groyper adjacent, and he says, apparently they

(08:28):
he apparently thinks he's the voice of gen Z. I've
only met him briefly one time when she brought him
to a TPUSA event. Was having him taking him around me,
introducing him to everyone, which I viewed as, Oh, she's
trying to make that happen. I see there are conservative
parents all the time they do this with their kids,
and I don't get it. I don't get it. I

(08:50):
don't know. So the and he's been on I've seen
him go on cable news before. There was one show
that I watched. They had a guest host and it
was a string of Republican NEPO babies, one right after
the other. There were like four NEPO baby guests. And
I'm like, what in the world. You're like, you know,

(09:11):
live a little, be humble enough to realize you need
to live a little before you start giving orders. That's
all we're saying. Good night. And he had said quote
one of his he told the New York Post, Democrats
are listening to the younger people, and it's time for
Republicans to do the same. Do you know every generation

(09:33):
says this like you are not the first person to
ever say this. You're not the first generation. I get
it that people think politics began the day that they
grace the earth with their presence. Can but every body
says this, every generation says this, and I say no, sorry.

(09:56):
I actually think it was the one thing that Kamala
Harris said that was somewhat right. Sorry. I think the
voting age is too damn low. It is, it's two
damn low. And he I think it's very easy to
be to the right in Iggy Haley, so let's not
get apoplectic with the headline your post. It's very easy

(10:19):
to be to the right of her, and she seems
like a nice enough person. I just disagree with her
on a number of policy issues. But he was saying,
my friends graduated with great degrees from great schools, and
then nobody has a job. Oh my gosh, I'm so
tired of the victim mentality. Also, look, I'm not saying
that it's not hard for this or any generation, but
every generation has a hardness that they have to deal with.

(10:44):
Imagine that you're the greatest generation. Right, You have World
War One and World War Two. Some were in both,
and then you have the Korean War and then your
kids go off to Vietnam. I mean it's the Old
War and back to back, and I mean some people
had it a little bit harder, the Great Depression. Gott Lee.

(11:07):
I that's why they call them the Greatest Generation, by
the way they live through everything. All of this and more.
We have got to stop entertaining this victim mentality. It's
not to say that there aren't issues to deal with. Hell,
yes there are. I think that they're fixable. I don't
think that there's people in DC with the spine to

(11:28):
do it. But I also think at the same time,
the victim mentality has got to stop. Let's I mean,
I see people. And the reason I point this out
so much is because all of the things that I'm
seeing from some of the NEPO babies is that they're
all complaining about the problems. Not a single one of

(11:49):
them has a solution or wants to be a part
of a solution. They just want to join the money
train of bitching about it. Okay, we've got a ton
of that. What is your solution? And no pain women
to have babies aka welfare? Ain't it we do that?
It fail? What's your solution. I mean, there's a lot

(12:10):
of things we can do, but the victim mentality. Come on,
it's got to stop. It's just too Yes, we get it,
things blow, but also do you realize that some of
the complaints of the younger generations are that, Wow, why
is it that I can't live in the same house
as this seventy year old, you know, marketing executive. I

(12:33):
I don't get I I talked to a friend, well,
an associate client, a contemporary whose daughter graduated two years
ago and is a door dasher, does door dash and
a couple of other things, complaining and apparently turned down
a couple of jobs because she just didn't think that

(12:54):
it was just enough for her degree. Entry level means
entry level. Your degree does not mean lo And look,
I've got a degree, which means I can do whatever
I want. I want this corner office with the windows.
I want to be able to have the top company
parking spot. I want all these things. I mean, everybody

(13:15):
starts somewhere. Everybody starts somewhere. I started waiting tables. Everybody
starts somewhere. Even after college. Do you know what I
did after college? I wrote I edited people's resumes, and
then I started. I got my foot in the door,
free lancing, writing about people's houses and I didn't know

(13:36):
a damn thing about I still do anything about decoor
or anything like that. And then interviewing politicians and newsmakers.
That's how I got started, got paid garbage with a degree.
But you start somewhere. Everybody starts somewhere. That's part of
the problem, is this unmanaged expectation. Some of that's your

(13:58):
parents' fault. Well, so some of you people on the
right and need to stop pimping your damn kids out.
I'm so tired of seeing it. Nobody wants to see
everybody pimping their kids out on Fox News. I don't
want to see an endless string of NAPA babe's. I
don't want to see people pimping their kids out. As
soon as they graduate college, they're going to become a politician.
Good night. We have enough welfare addicts. That's what it is.

(14:21):
You're just adding to the welfare class. But they think
it's somehow more glorious and more respectable because you're doing
a job for the people. Really come on, at least
welfare recipients realize and they call it what it is.
The political class likes to think that there's an art
to it. It just cracks me up. Stop it, stop it.

(14:43):
Have your precious Napa babbe go into the private and
the private sector and work in the real world. Do
some hard work, maybe get their hands dirty. It's okay,
Mom and dad, it's okay. Just good night. I can't
say so. It made me think of that. So as
we head into the holidays, it's not just about gifts.
It's about gratitude and protecting what really matters, family and

(15:07):
the future and your financial security. Colin Plume is the
CEO at Noble Goold Investments, and I tell you, the

market changes fast, the economy, even your own job. So

Speaker 2 (16:08):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Okay, I thought free pet. Mmm, I don't. I'm not.
I'm allergic to cats. Legitimately, I actually am. A man
was mauled to death by a lioness at a zoo
because he was stupid and climbed into the enclosure in
front of horrified visitors. You'd better not be putting that
cat down, better or not. It was in Brazil. Nineteen
year old Garson Machado slipped into the cat's pin and

(16:38):
because he wants to become a trainer, and it mauled
him to death. It ate him to death. Oh my gosh.
There's of course there's horror footage. Of course there is
apparently he also severe mental problems, and he was diagnosed
with schizophrenia, et cetera. Uh, and he there's a video
of him literally climbing. He scaled the fence, climbed the tree,

(17:01):
and then was mound by the big cat. So there
there's a reason why they're kept in those giant pits.
By the way, you're not You're not supposed to go
with them, like that six point zero magnitude earthquake struck
northwest Anchorage, Alaska. Also the boulder the size of a
small car scratch scratched when the world crashed into an

(17:24):
suv driving near Leavenworth. Do you always I always get
nervous when I'm driving by anywhere that looks like rockslide,
you know, especially like southern Missouri and out west Texas,
like southwest Texas. Yeah, this was the size of a
small car. Four people were including a twelve year old.
No one was there was no fatalities. There were minor injuries,

(17:45):
but mostly everybody was unharmed. But they just shut down
part of the road while they could make sure it
was safe. Francis far Right later was hit by an
egg days after a flower attack. This from the National
Rally Party. I mean, why would you do that with
like eggs and stuff that's like you know, bread and
dessert making material. The suspect was a seventy four year

(18:06):
old man. Interesting. Also, ooh, pistachio. There is a pistachio recall, Well,
this is this. I almost said Canadia. This is Canada,
but the Canadian Food Inspection Agency they said there's possible
salmonella and they have like a long list of names
like anything that was sold in Canada. But then some

(18:30):
of the stuff you can get like on Amazon and
things like that, so you might want to just double
check some of your some of your labels for those things.
And yeah, this was described as check your nuts. Anthrax
Pigs of Texas, which sounds like an amazing metal band,
sparked panic. What you're not you're not supposed to eat.
You can eat feral hogs, but they just taste different. Gamey,

(18:53):
I don't like to taste. There's an outbreak of faral
hogs in Texas though they could be carrying anthrax infections,
which I I still think that that is probably one
of the most amazing band names I've ever heard. Anthrax
pigs of Texas. You know, you could like get incorporate
the pig squeal in there as like an agitator. I'm
just saying, but these hogs, it can cost over a
billion in damages every year. That's why hog hunting is

(19:15):
so important. We also had this insane post on x
insane only in the amount of beans that the Minnesota
Department of Human Service employees. I don't know if you
guys saw the action. I know you heard the stories
of it, but did you see the actual post from
the official account the Minnesota Department of Human Service employees.

(19:38):
I don't want to read the whole thing because it's
this is almost like eight hundred words probably Kane seven
hundred and eight hundred word post. So this goes into
the story that we talked about towards the end of
last week with Minnesota and members of basically the Somali

(19:58):
immigrant community. And apparently they how the we talked about
the billions of dollars in fraud and how everybody in
Minnesota was claiming that their kid had autism so they
could get government money. So now the President has talked
about this, and I mean and correctly mentioned he was
talking about Tim Waaltson. You know, you're the governor how

(20:20):
do you not see this well? Dovetailing into that comes
this Minnesota Department of Human Service employees tweet and they
immediately start off with saying, quote, Tim Wallas is one
hundred percent responsible for master fraud in Minnesota. We let
we let him know key phrase heer. We let Tim
Walls know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership

(20:43):
in stopping fraud. But no, we got the opposite response.
Waltz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers, using monitoring threats, repression, and
did his best to discredit fraud reports. They write, instead

(21:05):
of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by
Tim Walls, certain DFL members, and an indifferent mainstream media.
They added scary and has left us wondering who we
can turn to. And then they added that in addition
to retaliating against the whistleblower, Tim Walls disempowered the Office

(21:29):
of the Legislative Auditor so agencies didn't have to they
could disregard their audit findings and guidance. And then they
add in this post media and politicians supporting Tim Walls
or the DFL agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to
raise flags red flags on fraudulent activities. They say that

(21:53):
it was a system, a cascade of systemic failures leading
up to Tim Walls agency leaders he appointed. They wrote
willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet,
to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. They add,

(22:13):
these same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead
getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz's friendship. So state government
were left floundering. Then they started naming media outlets WCCO, MPR.
They said showed zero interest in covering fraud happening in
our own state. They said, programs, especially in behavioral health

(22:35):
and disability services, were built with any without any guardrails
against fraud, all to extract more funding from the legislature
and the federal government. This is I mean, they named
names they get in. They said that that Waltz is dishonest,
that he lacks integrity, he has poor leadership abilities. They
said that he's never taken any accountability for his role

(22:58):
in fraud. He deflects by blame me national politics. I
mean their name and names and dive in. This is insane. Uh.
And then they cited Tim Walltz or the New York
Times this peace on Tim Walls quote the headline how
fraud swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Walls's watch. Okay, kin,

(23:24):
this is a member, This is a government agency. What
persuasion politically? Typically? Are these government agency? Is that right?
Thout a doubt?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
They're left?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
So are we to understand that a leftist government agency
was so mad at the fraud and abuse from Tim
Walls that they posted this seven hundred word like whistleblowing
call out on X.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh yeah, And I bet you they're upset because they
did this over a year ago when no one was
listening as well. So yeah, I'd be upset if I
was them too.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Oh my gosh, this is it is? That is something else?
How I mean, if you're Tim Walls, how do you do?
How does your staff deal with this? Can you? Now?
Can you? Guys? Imagine if Kamala Harris had won, he
would already be installed as vice president. Here's the other

(24:21):
question I have? Why didn't if this was over a
year ago, why didn't this come up on the campaign trail?
Why didn't this come up on the campaign trail? I mean, really,
it's been over a year where why is our Republican
OPO not doing their job? If this has been over

(24:44):
a year, how has it not blown up until now?
You're telling me that we could have had a Tim
Walls vice president and this sort of blown up. Now,
think about h one bv's just think about all this
stuff we're dealing with the Afghanist You would have had
a guy who's been allowing this, merching it, allowing this

(25:05):
to happen. CCP, Tim, Thanks for tuning in to today's
