Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, you gotta love a good Florida man story, don't you,
especially when you have an unwelcome guest, Because I've always
found Florida people to be incredibly hospitable every time we
go to visit. Now it's the sxtually supposed to be
down there this week for spring training in Clearwater to
see my beloved phils. But in this case, now this
guy is in his house, looks around, so he's an
(00:35):
alligator staring back at him. Left his patio door open
and gets some breeze, and a seven foot long alligator
smashed a hole in the screen, headed right for the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well, can you blame him? That's where I would go
if I were an alligator.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Anyway, called nine one Florida Fish and Wildlife Trapper came,
removed the gator, and then he had to clean up
all the gator slime from his house, which I'm guessing
is kind of like the slime that Slimer left in Ghostbusters.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
This is also a thing in myrtle Beach, South Carolina,
because my parents live down there. And you gotta watch
the gators coming in through the screen door. I mean,
they smell delicious food and they want food, and they're gaters.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And who's gonna stop them? I mean, if I'm a gator,
that's exactly what I'm doing. But nevertheless, so also, you know,
if you watch Dexter, if you watch the prequel to Dexter,
which is Dexter Original Sin.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So I really did love that show. Dexter Original Sin.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Heat buries bodies in the Everglades and the gators eat
them until they don't. Spoiler alert, I'm not going to
give it to you. But and this Florida man was
charged for an interactive teller machine fraud in Jackson County, Michigan.
What Florida man faces charges in Michigan for allegedly committing
fraud using an interactive teller machine. It's the first reported
(01:48):
fraud case came into March seventh. An interactive teller machine
is an ATM with a video chat. It allows customers
to conduct bank transactions without going inside.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well police found that more fraud.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Have been out in March eighth, with a large amount
of cash being taken from the machine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
A thirty two year old guy.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
They rested him before he could flee, and apparently he
was using a phone and was using this through the
interactive chat and then he threatened the person and said
you better give you the money, and then they got
the guy because it was all on wait for it video.
Speaker 3 (02:23):

The one that was around me was already closed. It
was after ten o'clock. I mean, it was just were
off and I ordered medicine from All Family Pharmacy, had
it overnighted and was able to start my medicine literally
(03:07):
the next day it was like almost ten. Actually it

Speaker 2 (03:53):
But not as bad as Snow White.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Apparently the new movie that's coming out, how Snow White
became a Disney nightmare and absolute Disney nightmare. So I
was thinking about this because this is kind of a
remnant of the pre Trump woke era, but it's delayed
because it hasn't been released yet, and if you think
about how much has changed since Trump's election in terms
(04:15):
of well, as I've said, and I'm not the only
one who said it, but Trump's victory was the end
of woke. But they made this stupid snow white movie
before Trump and probably never counted on him winning. It's
supposed to come out March twenty first, next week, but
it's ready shaping up to be a gigantic disaster for
the studio. And they've also they've also canceled a bunch
(04:38):
of interviews. There's controversy because Gail Goodeaux is pro Israel,
and of course they hate that. You know, the left
in Hollywood hates that obviously, so they hate that. But
Rachel Ziegler, who's the actress, and then this whole thing
with the the people formerly known as the dwarfs, they're
not dwarfs now, they're like the village people or something
(04:59):
like that. That but not the cool village people that
saying y MCA. So it's a whole mess. And I
just I'm thinking of this from the perspective of our
culture because Trump's victory being the end of woke. As
a dad who has two girls, and I was excited
to maybe take them to see snow White. There's no
way I'm taking them to see this. But they originally
(05:20):
were going to have I guess that the dwarfs were
going to be tall at first because they thought it
was offensive.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
To the dwarf community.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And then they just replaced them with animatronic looking, weird
creatures that look like garden gnomes.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They really do. They look like garden gnomes, and that's
not good either.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
There's also a lot of jobs for members of the
dwarf community in Hollywood, so when you know there's an
opportunity to play a dwarf, if you are somebody who's
a dwarf, you're like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Sign me up, I want to play this.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And that was a controversy when Peter Dinklah came out
and he was upset that they had dwarves in the movie,
and so they replaced them basically with weird looking cgi.
But the actress herself is really the cause of all
of this, because Snow White is a beloved classic, a
beloved classic, and they were changing it to go along
(06:14):
with the wokeism in America when they were filming this
years ago, and you think about how much America has
changed since then, even from then to now. Really it's remarkable.
I mean, from comedy to movies to commercials, etc.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So much has changed in Strump's election in terms of
the I mean, I think it was always there, I
really do.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I think there were a lot of people in America
who said, we don't want woke, We just really don't.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
We don't want it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And they were just kind of quiet about it, and
they were exercising with their dollars and showing everybody with
their dollars how they felt about things. But corporations weren't
paying attention. Corporations were doing things like putting, you know,
a man Dylan mulvaney as their email spokesperson on social
media as an influencer. So the whole thing has become
(07:06):
a giant mess. And of course the whole issue about
the Prince and whether or not the Prince is rapie,
the rape ye Prince, which went to the whole idea
of male toxic masculinity. And I know it sounds silly
in some ways, You're like, all right, it's a movie.
Who cares? No, It matters in a big way because
the studio has spent a fortune on this movie, and
now it stands to all be an epic disaster for them.
(07:29):
But I look at this as a gigantic rejection once
and for all of wokeism in America. I think Snow White,
which because now is it's a total Disney nightmare and
they're expecting it just to lose a ton of cash
on this thing, is so emblematic of where our culture
is right now. A actric actress, excuse me, Rachel Zegler
(07:51):
won't sing. Someday my prince will come In Disney's new
live action remake of Snow White. The Princess doesn't need
a man and will instead warble the the girl boss
anthem waiting on a wish, but it might be a
long wait. Variety reported that this week there will be
none of the typical red carpet interviews for the film's
premiere at the L. Cappy Tom Theater in Hollywood on Saturday,
(08:15):
perhaps to avoid tough questions about the backlash that's followed
ever since Rachel Zegler, Latina actress, rose to fame in
Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and then trashed the nineteen
thirty seven classic trash it up and down. So people
were like, listen, love, we love the snow White. It's
a timeless tail. It was a great movie. It was
(08:36):
a timeless movie. Parents watch it with their kids. They
love the snow White ride. Disney kind of being the
mothership of wokeism all these years, if you think about it,
really being the mothership of wokeism. And Disney changed a
bunch of their rides because they thought the rides were offensive.
And then people turned around and said, hey, not for nothing, Disney,
but you charged like a billion dollars to come to
(08:57):
your theme parks, so you act, oh wokie. But yet
it's the most expensive place on Earth. I don't know
if it's the happiest place on earth. It's the most
expensive place on Earth. I've taken my kids there, and
all I can tell you is nobody looks happy when
they're waiting in line for two and a half hours
to go and arrive.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's three minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then they you bring out, you know, you take
your daughters to the biboty Bop princess shop and then
there's a there's a guy with a beard dressed in
a dress to help your little girls become princesses.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That was a real thing. That was a real thing
at disney World, and.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Dizney doubling down on Woke over all these years, and
then they wound up destroying the Marvel franchise too. They
had Marvel, which was a cash cow, and then they
went Woke with Marvel, and then Marvel was a disaster.
And then it goes on to say that they're also
upset with gal Gado because gal Gado has been an
outspoken advocate for Israel and they don't like the fact
because she's from Israel.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
They don't like that either, so they want to try
to hide her as well.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Another ruckus was raised when the trailer showed the actors
have been replaced by CIG characters of The Hollywood Reporter
reported Wednesday that the director claimed he was always planning
on using CGI and not the weird bunch of hippie
village people that they had walking through the woods. And
the CGI looks awful. I'm telling you, if you go
to a cheap garden store in your neighborhood and you go, hey,
(10:17):
can I buy a garden nome, it's going to look
like the Dwarfs from Saturday Night Live. Although they're not
called dwarfs because that's offensive too, apparently. I don't know why,
but I guess it is, so I'm gonna play This
is a clip for you. This is the actress Rachel Zegler, perfect,
perfect example of pre Trump's America and then post Trump's America.
This movie being a disaster because it's a rejection of woke.
(10:40):
I think it's going to wind up being a huge
loss for the studio. And I'll contrast that with a
new Superman movie that's coming out. James Gunn, who's the director,
who had faced his own woke backlash at one point,
was asked all these questions about, you know, how can
Superman be around in America now? And he's like, look,
he's an American hero. He stands for truth, justice in
the American Like, I know, but America is so toxic.
(11:02):
They're like, no, no, no, no, Superman's our guy. All right,
Superman's our guy. So woke is not something they're worried
about with a new Superman movie. They might be a
little worried about some of the cgi and the trailer,
but they're not worried about woke. Here's Rachel Zegler, the
actress who's playing snow White, take a listen.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in
nineteen thirty seven and very evidently, so there is a
big focus on her love story with a guy who
literally stalks her. Weird weird, so we didn't do that
this time.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Weird, weird, super weird, and then went on to go
on about all the outdated norms and everything else.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So it's going to be a huge disaster for them.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And while the song Someday My Prince will come as
long stood as a Disney classic, the actress announced last
summer at D two three, the annual Disney Expo, that
her snow White is not going to be saved by
the Prince. She's not going to be dreaming about true love.
She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.
That attitude is upset David Hale Hand, whose late father,
Disney animator David Hand, was a supervising director for Bambi
(12:08):
and the original snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He
said he won't be buying a ticket for the new film.
He said, quote the original was the way it should be.
From what I've read, the new film bears no reflection
to the original story. It's so far off base that
it's ridiculous. In fact, he believes it's enough to make
his father and Walt Disney roll in their graves. They've
taken it and moved it into the politics of what
is woke. They've taken a beautiful and beautifully drawn story
(12:30):
and destroying what was snow White. Why can't they just
leave it alone instead of coming up with a different
story and make it a totally different character. If you're
gonna do that, yeah, make a totally different character instead
of doing snow White. And of course snow White who
had white skin, you can't have white skin anymore. That
was no that was really a thing. That was a thing, Well,
we can't have her be white. White skin is racist. Apparently,
(12:54):
so they made so. They got a Latina actress, and
that wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for
the fact that they made a point of saying, well,
snow White is white, and we can't have that with
her white skin.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Why not.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
There's a lot of white people out there. Why can't
you have a character who's white. I don't understand that.
I mean, I'm not talking about replacing black characters with
white actors. Why are we why are we taking the
white skin and making it? But can you imagine if
Hollywood did that and said, well, you know, the actor
is a little too black, so we're gonna we're gonna
tone it down, not not have such such such black skin.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
In the actor.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like that's racist, that's insane, and it's okay when you
do it with snow white. Thought with a white actress,
I don't. I don't get that. And then they went
on to say, is this guy's wife took took a
lot of issue and said David's father took so much
pride in the film, and he would say, what have
you done? It's a question many people were asking after
early filming shots emerged last year showing Zegler's stand in
(13:47):
leading a line of dwarfs of varying sizes, races, and genders.
The lead actor, Jason akoun Are known as we Man
in the Jackass franchise, slammed the studio had said, you
were replacing jobs that people could have us as little people.
It's for dwarfs. Why are you hiring snow white and
the seven average people?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I mean I get I feel bad.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's not how many how many how many movie roles
are out there for people of that height, you know,
like this is their thing, so you so instead of
you could have had a job for seven people in
the dwarf community, now you have no jobs for them
and just bad CGI. But I think Disney, you could
look at you could look at snow White. This movie
(14:30):
as the as the Democrat Party on the big screen
really just an out of touch mess looking to toy
with no message, so purposely offending people for the sake
of being offensive to losing their audience, losing their brand.
They've done this with so many products and movies and
shows over the years. But America has said enough. America
(14:51):
has said enough, which is why when the Democrats are
meeting right now at their little party summit, there's there's
there's an internal battle brewing over wokesm and what are
they do about woke. They've gone so far down the
road of woke that they don't know how to bring
it back because it's become their core constituency and the
Democrat Party, it really has, and they don't know what
(15:12):
to do because they can't win. They cannot win, and
then Trump who's the most anti woke guy on the planet,
maybe in the history of the planet, gets elected. President
wins the popular vote and the Electoral College, and this
piece of garbage is supposed to hit theaters next week.
But it was made pre Trump, it was made in
the height of woke, and now the studio is going
to lose an epic fortune on it, which I say good.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Of course, our partners who make it possible are friends
of Celtech. The PR fifty seven is it's a five
to seven and this is a really ingenious gun. I
always say that George Kelgren is kind of like a
mad scientist. So the PR fifty seven is the smallest,
it's the thinnest lightest five to seven that you can get.
It's actually forty percent lighter then the next super light
five to seven that's on the market. And the cool
(15:55):
thing with Keltech with this firearm particularly, and this is
the one that came out of their new wyoming plant,
I think I think the I think this one at
the PR fifty seven. It's the way that well they
incorporate actual stripper clips instead of magazines. I know now
the Left when they talk about firearms and they try
to use clips and magazines interchangeably. Well, guess what you
can actually be right with us. It has a very
(16:17):
unique top loading design. So what replaces the traditional magic
got the clips in there is for a slimmer profile,
twenty plus one capacity, low recoil for easy use and accuracy,
and it has this innovative rotary barrel. That's what helps
all make it the lightest five to seven on the market.
Msrp's only three and ninety nine, super affordable, and it's
the first of its kind. It's the Keltech PR fifty
(16:37):
seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. Kel

Tell them Dana sent you, and.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five. So yesterday Robert F.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Kennedy Junior and the MAHA moms were all hanging out
in DC and they were talking about a bunch of things. Well,
it turns out sugar free slushies can make young kids
seriously sick. According to a new study. There's an additive
that they put in them called glycerool, which can trigger
toxic effects in young kids. Glycerol can trigger toxic effects
in young children, leading to drowsiness, danger dangerously little blood sugar,
(17:17):
and metabolic imbalances. It was a study published Tuesday in
the Archives of Disease in Childhood via the cases of
twenty one children with an average of three years and
six months who fell ill within an hour of drinking
a slushye and a lot of them had a big
drop in blood sugar. So perfect time to start reimagining
all the crap they put in our foods? And are
(17:38):
we feeling stressed sooner than ever? The burned out generations
Americans are feeling peak stressed earlier than ever. Twenty five
percent of Americans experience burnout before aged thirty thirty, with
gen Z and millennials reporting peak stress at age twenty five.
Financial concerns, politics, and work pressure range at rank as
the top stressers. Percent Americans believe entering adulthood is more
(18:02):
challenging now than a decade ago, seventy two percent expecting
it to become even more difficult in the next decade.
I think part of the problem is that they're not
adults until like forty now seems to be part of
the po Not everybody, of course, but a lot of them.
Who would whind about that? Now, this is a fascinating story.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I was looking at America and just thinking about America
being healthy and happy and everybody five. America is becoming
a nation of homebodies.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Research led by a couple of people at the University
of California, Los Angeles found that for a lot of us,
we just like to hang out at our house, a
nation of homebodies. American Time Youth Survey studied how people
in the US spent their time before, during, and after
the pandemic, and with the pandemic, people started saying home
more and then that has persisted for a lot of
(18:49):
people where they just don't go out.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Now for me, I've always been a homebody.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
In fact, it's funny because my wife and I used
to have a sign in our house that said let's
just stay home. We had that pre COVID. We're just
kind of we've been homebodies. I don't know, it's just
it seems to be the way it is. But COVID
changed a.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Lot in that sense.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But if you think that cartels are nice, think again.
Mass graves and ovens with charred bodies found an extermination
camp by a family searching for a missing person in Mexico. Yeah,
heartbreaking handwritten note was found at the grizzly scene cartels
don't mess around. And these piles of personal items included forger,
pairs of shoes, closed jewelry, and diaries, just very very
(19:29):
sad stuff, which is why I guess it also is
a good thing that immigration accounts for the entire US
population growth for the first time. What seriously, our entire
US population growth? The immigration accounts for the entire for
the first time?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Are you kidding me? And they should not.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And they're also demeaning women, But who would want these things?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And everything's transgender? Everybody transgender. That's all you hear about. Now,
that's why we won the election in record numbers. But
that's right, that's everybody's transgender.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Welcome back to the show. Glad you're here, the Data Show.
It's Rich Zeolian for Data Today again. Be with you
back tomorrow for Friday End out the Week. Newsweek have
this article, which I guess is supposed to be an
insult to the military and their spending.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Here's the headline. Let me read this to you.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
US military spends eight times more on viagra than gender
affirming care.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Let me read that.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
US military spends eight times more on viagra than gender
affirming care. Okay, Now, first of all, if I'm serving
my country and I need a little help in that department,
which I don't serve my country, see what I did there.
But if I did, then I would say the government
(20:49):
should give me my you know, my little blue pill
or the white generic version of this.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's not even a question for me, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
The judge overseeing the case against the Defense departments firing
of transgender service members revealed that the military spends eight
times more on a rectile dysfunction medication than on gender
affirm and care.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
First of all, gender a firman care is one of.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Those euphemisms the left to use for chopping off body
parts and giving hormone blockers to kids, puberty blockers to kids,
which don't of course, actually block puberty, just delays it
messes with the kids, and they're incredibly harmful, which is
why they're banned in European countries now, thank god. As
is also these gender affirming practices for children. But while
(21:34):
discussing military spending with the Department of Defense, attorney for
the ongoing Talbot v. Trump case, Judge Anna Reis, said
the DoD spends approximately five point two million dollars annually
a medical care for service members with gender dysphoria. Comparatively,
the DoD spends forty two million dollars a year on
medication for service members with the rectile dysfunction. Hey, listen,
(21:56):
A big part of the reason why, men, I'm told,
and I don't know, oh this for a fact, sometimes
you need help in that department is because of stress.
War is stressful, Serving your country is stressful. I get it.
I understand that point. Again, I don't personally know if
(22:16):
that's true, but I've read.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That stress is a big indicator of this.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But really, what it comes down to you is, this
is why the Secretary of Defense doesn't want and the
President doesn't want transgender service members serving in our military,
and I don't think they should be in our military. Well,
this is not a social club. Military is not a
social club. You want to live your life as a
transgender person, knock yourself out, you shouldn't be in the military. Though,
(22:45):
Just like I would say that if you are physically unfit,
you shouldn't be in the military. If you are a
weak and fragile you should I could not be in
the military. I'm weak and fragile. I'm constantly breaking things.
But if you have a little problem in the area
of you know who, like you know, that would be
the stress of probably being involved in war and conflict
(23:09):
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I get it. I understand that.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
But there's also other issues too that lead to that
age and you know, cholesterol levels and sleep apnea. There's
all kinds of things that should do with that. One
one has nothing to do with the other. By the way,
one it's like saying, well, you spend forty two trillion
dollars a year on blood pressure medication is what does
(23:34):
that have to do with transgender gender affirm and care
Either either you think the military should be in the
business of having transgender soldiers or not.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You can't equate that with what they spend on viagra.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Or any of the other rectile dysfunction drugs, not that
I know what they are, but I've heard there's other
names out there too. But the viagra spending was a
stupid point by the judge to make. At one point
attorneys had to admit to the judge they never read
articles which were included as evidence. The judge said that
they had cherry picked and egregiously misquoted studies put forward
(24:05):
by the Pentagon on transgender people decreasing the lethality of
the military.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Just for the record, I would.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Be more worried about soldiers who need help in that
department of rising to the occasion not getting the help
they need rising to the occasion in terms of us
having a strong fighting force, because those soldiers would then
be even more stressed out and even more distracted, if you.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Know what I mean. But one has nothing to do
with the other. This is what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
This is another case of a dumb federal judge, like
the federal judge who earlier today blocked the Trump administration
from firing all these people in the federal government. I mean,
this is not your job here. What does this have
to do with anything. In response to this, the Pentagon
saying transgender people decrease the lethality of thelitary they do
(25:01):
people with the rectile of this function, however, don't you
could still be pretty lethal.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But it's also about other things too. Uncohesion and.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
There's just there's a lot of other factors to this,
but again it one does not have anything to do
with the other. If if, for example, somebody has trouble
sleeping and the and and they get a sleep aid,
a sleeping aid or whatever, or they're given I don't know,
valume or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You go, wait, you're spending those money on sleeping aids,
but you're not spending money on transgender or firming care. Okay,
And yeah, and you're spend all this money giving giving
the military members golf lessons, but you won't spend this
money on transgender care.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
We're not.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's not the argument is not about whether or not
the government should be spending the money. The governments the
arguments of what it should be spending the money on. Hey,
the government's not turning around going, oh, you know, we
really can't afford this trench under careac. They're saying that
they don't want transgender soldiers in the military. The Secretary
Defense Pete has said transgender people lack warrior ethos, are liars,
(26:11):
lack integrity or not humble, are selfish, and can't meet
physical mental fitness requirements.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well that's his opinion. You can disagree with that, but
he's the Secretary of Defense. I mean, you know what.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's like saying, well, I think if he had easily
said that instead of transgender, if he had said weak
people physically weak people, lack warrior ethos, are liars, lack integrity,
are not humble, are selfish, and can't meet physical mental requirements,
be like, all right, well, that's kind of mean, but
(26:44):
it's your said. That's like your opinion, dude. To quote
the dude, I'm the big Lebowski, But it's it's not
the point. The point is that the commander in chief
doesn't want transgender people serving in the military.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
And I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's the right the commander in chief has, and it's
something he also said on the campaign trail and he
got elected. Pegsad's point about the integrity thing was that
you're going out there and you're lying. You're saying a
man's assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement
that others honor this falsehood is not consistent with the
humility and selflessness required of a service member. Military service
(27:25):
members must be reserved, or service must be reserved for
those mentally and physically fit for duty. So the judge
turns around and goes, So you're saying that people with
gender dysph you can't be honest, humble, or have integrity.
You think that's demeaning to people with gendereddess for you,
And the attorney said, I can't answer that question. Well,
let's also break down what genderness for you is, which
(27:46):
is a mental condition where you think you're in the
wrong body. You think, I mean, at one time that
was considered to be a psychological illness. The question that
I think the better question would be what do you
do with people who are who have mental illness in
the Middlelitary because the military will not accept people if
they have certain kinds of mental illness for the exact
same reason being that they could be a threat to
(28:08):
themselves or to the people they're serving with. I mean, like,
I'm not trying to be mean here, but if you
have people with severe mental illness dispatched overseas, that's not
in their best interest anymore than it's in the best
interest of the people that are serving with that person.
(28:29):
So I just I think, again, this is one of
those areas where you've got to turn around and you
got to say if the American people knew what the
president felt on the issue, and they did, and the
President of the United States, in his capacity as president,
turned around and said this is what we're going to do,
then the President of the United States gets to make
that determination. And I don't think the fact that we
(28:52):
have a lot of soldiers who need viagra is really
the issue. Thanks for tuning into today's edition of Dana

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, you gotta love a good Florida man story, don't you,
especially when you have an unwelcome guest, Because I've always
found Florida people to be incredibly hospitable every time we
go to visit. Now it's the sxtually supposed to be
down there this week for spring training in Clearwater to
see my beloved phils. But in this case, now this
guy is in his house, looks around, so he's an
(00:35):
alligator staring back at him. Left his patio door open
and gets some breeze, and a seven foot long alligator
smashed a hole in the screen, headed right for the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well, can you blame him? That's where I would go
if I were an alligator.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Anyway, called nine one Florida Fish and Wildlife Trapper came,
removed the gator, and then he had to clean up
all the gator slime from his house, which I'm guessing
is kind of like the slime that Slimer left in Ghostbusters.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
This is also a thing in myrtle Beach, South Carolina,
because my parents live down there. And you gotta watch
the gators coming in through the screen door. I mean,
they smell delicious food and they want food, and they're gaters.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And who's gonna stop them? I mean, if I'm a gator,
that's exactly what I'm doing. But nevertheless, so also, you know,
if you watch Dexter, if you watch the prequel to Dexter,
which is Dexter Original Sin.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So I really did love that show. Dexter Original Sin.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Heat buries bodies in the Everglades and the gators eat
them until they don't. Spoiler alert, I'm not going to
give it to you. But and this Florida man was
charged for an interactive teller machine fraud in Jackson County, Michigan.
What Florida man faces charges in Michigan for allegedly committing
fraud using an interactive teller machine. It's the first reported
(01:48):
fraud case came into March seventh. An interactive teller machine
is an ATM with a video chat. It allows customers
to conduct bank transactions without going inside.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well police found that more fraud.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Have been out in March eighth, with a large amount
of cash being taken from the machine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
A thirty two year old guy.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
They rested him before he could flee, and apparently he
was using a phone and was using this through the
interactive chat and then he threatened the person and said
you better give you the money, and then they got
the guy because it was all on wait for it video.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
But not as bad as Snow White.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Apparently the new movie that's coming out, how Snow White
became a Disney nightmare and absolute Disney nightmare. So I
was thinking about this because this is kind of a
remnant of the pre Trump woke era, but it's delayed
because it hasn't been released yet, and if you think
about how much has changed since Trump's election in terms
(04:15):
of well, as I've said, and I'm not the only
one who said it, but Trump's victory was the end
of woke. But they made this stupid snow white movie
before Trump and probably never counted on him winning. It's
supposed to come out March twenty first, next week, but
it's ready shaping up to be a gigantic disaster for
the studio. And they've also they've also canceled a bunch
(04:38):
of interviews. There's controversy because Gail Goodeaux is pro Israel,
and of course they hate that. You know, the left
in Hollywood hates that obviously, so they hate that. But
Rachel Ziegler, who's the actress, and then this whole thing
with the the people formerly known as the dwarfs, they're
not dwarfs now, they're like the village people or something
(04:59):
like that. That but not the cool village people that
saying y MCA. So it's a whole mess. And I
just I'm thinking of this from the perspective of our
culture because Trump's victory being the end of woke. As
a dad who has two girls, and I was excited
to maybe take them to see snow White. There's no
way I'm taking them to see this. But they originally
(05:20):
were going to have I guess that the dwarfs were
going to be tall at first because they thought it
was offensive.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
To the dwarf community.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And then they just replaced them with animatronic looking, weird
creatures that look like garden gnomes.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They really do. They look like garden gnomes, and that's
not good either.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
There's also a lot of jobs for members of the
dwarf community in Hollywood, so when you know there's an
opportunity to play a dwarf, if you are somebody who's
a dwarf, you're like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Sign me up, I want to play this.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And that was a controversy when Peter Dinklah came out
and he was upset that they had dwarves in the movie,
and so they replaced them basically with weird looking cgi.
But the actress herself is really the cause of all
of this, because Snow White is a beloved classic, a
beloved classic, and they were changing it to go along
(06:14):
with the wokeism in America when they were filming this
years ago, and you think about how much America has
changed since then, even from then to now. Really it's remarkable.
I mean, from comedy to movies to commercials, etc.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So much has changed in Strump's election in terms of
the I mean, I think it was always there, I
really do.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I think there were a lot of people in America
who said, we don't want woke, We just really don't.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
We don't want it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And they were just kind of quiet about it, and
they were exercising with their dollars and showing everybody with
their dollars how they felt about things. But corporations weren't
paying attention. Corporations were doing things like putting, you know,
a man Dylan mulvaney as their email spokesperson on social
media as an influencer. So the whole thing has become
(07:06):
a giant mess. And of course the whole issue about
the Prince and whether or not the Prince is rapie,
the rape ye Prince, which went to the whole idea
of male toxic masculinity. And I know it sounds silly
in some ways, You're like, all right, it's a movie.
Who cares? No, It matters in a big way because
the studio has spent a fortune on this movie, and
now it stands to all be an epic disaster for them.
(07:29):
But I look at this as a gigantic rejection once
and for all of wokeism in America. I think Snow White,
which because now is it's a total Disney nightmare and
they're expecting it just to lose a ton of cash
on this thing, is so emblematic of where our culture
is right now. A actric actress, excuse me, Rachel Zegler
(07:51):
won't sing. Someday my prince will come In Disney's new
live action remake of Snow White. The Princess doesn't need
a man and will instead warble the the girl boss
anthem waiting on a wish, but it might be a
long wait. Variety reported that this week there will be
none of the typical red carpet interviews for the film's
premiere at the L. Cappy Tom Theater in Hollywood on Saturday,
(08:15):
perhaps to avoid tough questions about the backlash that's followed
ever since Rachel Zegler, Latina actress, rose to fame in
Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and then trashed the nineteen
thirty seven classic trash it up and down. So people
were like, listen, love, we love the snow White. It's
a timeless tail. It was a great movie. It was
(08:36):
a timeless movie. Parents watch it with their kids. They
love the snow White ride. Disney kind of being the
mothership of wokeism all these years, if you think about it,
really being the mothership of wokeism. And Disney changed a
bunch of their rides because they thought the rides were offensive.
And then people turned around and said, hey, not for nothing, Disney,
but you charged like a billion dollars to come to
(08:57):
your theme parks, so you act, oh wokie. But yet
it's the most expensive place on Earth. I don't know
if it's the happiest place on earth. It's the most
expensive place on Earth. I've taken my kids there, and
all I can tell you is nobody looks happy when
they're waiting in line for two and a half hours
to go and arrive.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's three minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then they you bring out, you know, you take
your daughters to the biboty Bop princess shop and then
there's a there's a guy with a beard dressed in
a dress to help your little girls become princesses.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That was a real thing. That was a real thing
at disney World, and.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Dizney doubling down on Woke over all these years, and
then they wound up destroying the Marvel franchise too. They
had Marvel, which was a cash cow, and then they
went Woke with Marvel, and then Marvel was a disaster.
And then it goes on to say that they're also
upset with gal Gado because gal Gado has been an
outspoken advocate for Israel and they don't like the fact
because she's from Israel.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
They don't like that either, so they want to try
to hide her as well.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Another ruckus was raised when the trailer showed the actors
have been replaced by CIG characters of The Hollywood Reporter
reported Wednesday that the director claimed he was always planning
on using CGI and not the weird bunch of hippie
village people that they had walking through the woods. And
the CGI looks awful. I'm telling you, if you go
to a cheap garden store in your neighborhood and you go, hey,
(10:17):
can I buy a garden nome, it's going to look
like the Dwarfs from Saturday Night Live. Although they're not
called dwarfs because that's offensive too, apparently. I don't know why,
but I guess it is, so I'm gonna play This
is a clip for you. This is the actress Rachel Zegler, perfect,
perfect example of pre Trump's America and then post Trump's America.
This movie being a disaster because it's a rejection of woke.
(10:40):
I think it's going to wind up being a huge
loss for the studio. And I'll contrast that with a
new Superman movie that's coming out. James Gunn, who's the director,
who had faced his own woke backlash at one point,
was asked all these questions about, you know, how can
Superman be around in America now? And he's like, look,
he's an American hero. He stands for truth, justice in
the American Like, I know, but America is so toxic.
(11:02):
They're like, no, no, no, no, Superman's our guy. All right,
Superman's our guy. So woke is not something they're worried
about with a new Superman movie. They might be a
little worried about some of the cgi and the trailer,
but they're not worried about woke. Here's Rachel Zegler, the
actress who's playing snow White, take a listen.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in
nineteen thirty seven and very evidently, so there is a
big focus on her love story with a guy who
literally stalks her. Weird weird, so we didn't do that
this time.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Weird, weird, super weird, and then went on to go
on about all the outdated norms and everything else.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So it's going to be a huge disaster for them.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And while the song Someday My Prince will come as
long stood as a Disney classic, the actress announced last
summer at D two three, the annual Disney Expo, that
her snow White is not going to be saved by
the Prince. She's not going to be dreaming about true love.
She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.
That attitude is upset David Hale Hand, whose late father,
Disney animator David Hand, was a supervising director for Bambi
(12:08):
and the original snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He
said he won't be buying a ticket for the new film.
He said, quote the original was the way it should be.
From what I've read, the new film bears no reflection
to the original story. It's so far off base that
it's ridiculous. In fact, he believes it's enough to make
his father and Walt Disney roll in their graves. They've
taken it and moved it into the politics of what
is woke. They've taken a beautiful and beautifully drawn story
(12:30):
and destroying what was snow White. Why can't they just
leave it alone instead of coming up with a different
story and make it a totally different character. If you're
gonna do that, yeah, make a totally different character instead
of doing snow White. And of course snow White who
had white skin, you can't have white skin anymore. That
was no that was really a thing. That was a thing, Well,
we can't have her be white. White skin is racist. Apparently,
(12:54):
so they made so. They got a Latina actress, and
that wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for
the fact that they made a point of saying, well,
snow White is white, and we can't have that with
her white skin.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Why not.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
There's a lot of white people out there. Why can't
you have a character who's white. I don't understand that.
I mean, I'm not talking about replacing black characters with
white actors. Why are we why are we taking the
white skin and making it? But can you imagine if
Hollywood did that and said, well, you know, the actor
is a little too black, so we're gonna we're gonna
tone it down, not not have such such such black skin.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
In the actor.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like that's racist, that's insane, and it's okay when you
do it with snow white. Thought with a white actress,
I don't. I don't get that. And then they went
on to say, is this guy's wife took took a
lot of issue and said David's father took so much
pride in the film, and he would say, what have
you done? It's a question many people were asking after
early filming shots emerged last year showing Zegler's stand in
(13:47):
leading a line of dwarfs of varying sizes, races, and genders.
The lead actor, Jason akoun Are known as we Man
in the Jackass franchise, slammed the studio had said, you
were replacing jobs that people could have us as little people.
It's for dwarfs. Why are you hiring snow white and
the seven average people?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I mean I get I feel bad.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's not how many how many how many movie roles
are out there for people of that height, you know,
like this is their thing, so you so instead of
you could have had a job for seven people in
the dwarf community, now you have no jobs for them
and just bad CGI. But I think Disney, you could
look at you could look at snow White. This movie
(14:30):
as the as the Democrat Party on the big screen
really just an out of touch mess looking to toy
with no message, so purposely offending people for the sake
of being offensive to losing their audience, losing their brand.
They've done this with so many products and movies and
shows over the years. But America has said enough. America
(14:51):
has said enough, which is why when the Democrats are
meeting right now at their little party summit, there's there's
there's an internal battle brewing over wokesm and what are
they do about woke. They've gone so far down the
road of woke that they don't know how to bring
it back because it's become their core constituency and the
Democrat Party, it really has, and they don't know what
(15:12):
to do because they can't win. They cannot win, and
then Trump who's the most anti woke guy on the planet,
maybe in the history of the planet, gets elected. President
wins the popular vote and the Electoral College, and this
piece of garbage is supposed to hit theaters next week.
But it was made pre Trump, it was made in
the height of woke, and now the studio is going
to lose an epic fortune on it, which I say good.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Of course, our partners who make it possible are friends
of Celtech. The PR fifty seven is it's a five
to seven and this is a really ingenious gun. I
always say that George Kelgren is kind of like a
mad scientist. So the PR fifty seven is the smallest,
it's the thinnest lightest five to seven that you can get.
It's actually forty percent lighter then the next super light
five to seven that's on the market. And the cool
(15:55):
thing with Keltech with this firearm particularly, and this is
the one that came out of their new wyoming plant,
I think I think the I think this one at
the PR fifty seven. It's the way that well they
incorporate actual stripper clips instead of magazines. I know now
the Left when they talk about firearms and they try
to use clips and magazines interchangeably. Well, guess what you
can actually be right with us. It has a very
(16:17):
unique top loading design. So what replaces the traditional magic
got the clips in there is for a slimmer profile,
twenty plus one capacity, low recoil for easy use and accuracy,
and it has this innovative rotary barrel. That's what helps
all make it the lightest five to seven on the market.
Msrp's only three and ninety nine, super affordable, and it's
the first of its kind. It's the Keltech PR fifty
(16:37):
seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. Kel
Tech Weapons dot Com is where you can go to

Tell them Dana sent you, and.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five. So yesterday Robert F.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Kennedy Junior and the MAHA moms were all hanging out
in DC and they were talking about a bunch of things. Well,
it turns out sugar free slushies can make young kids
seriously sick. According to a new study. There's an additive
that they put in them called glycerool, which can trigger
toxic effects in young kids. Glycerol can trigger toxic effects
in young children, leading to drowsiness, danger dangerously little blood sugar,
(17:17):
and metabolic imbalances. It was a study published Tuesday in
the Archives of Disease in Childhood via the cases of
twenty one children with an average of three years and
six months who fell ill within an hour of drinking
a slushye and a lot of them had a big
drop in blood sugar. So perfect time to start reimagining
all the crap they put in our foods? And are
(17:38):
we feeling stressed sooner than ever? The burned out generations
Americans are feeling peak stressed earlier than ever. Twenty five
percent of Americans experience burnout before aged thirty thirty, with
gen Z and millennials reporting peak stress at age twenty five.
Financial concerns, politics, and work pressure range at rank as
the top stressers. Percent Americans believe entering adulthood is more
(18:02):
challenging now than a decade ago, seventy two percent expecting
it to become even more difficult in the next decade.
I think part of the problem is that they're not
adults until like forty now seems to be part of
the po Not everybody, of course, but a lot of them.
Who would whind about that? Now, this is a fascinating story.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I was looking at America and just thinking about America
being healthy and happy and everybody five. America is becoming
a nation of homebodies.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Research led by a couple of people at the University
of California, Los Angeles found that for a lot of us,
we just like to hang out at our house, a
nation of homebodies. American Time Youth Survey studied how people
in the US spent their time before, during, and after
the pandemic, and with the pandemic, people started saying home
more and then that has persisted for a lot of
(18:49):
people where they just don't go out.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Now for me, I've always been a homebody.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
In fact, it's funny because my wife and I used
to have a sign in our house that said let's
just stay home. We had that pre COVID. We're just
kind of we've been homebodies. I don't know, it's just
it seems to be the way it is. But COVID
changed a.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Lot in that sense.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But if you think that cartels are nice, think again.
Mass graves and ovens with charred bodies found an extermination
camp by a family searching for a missing person in Mexico. Yeah,
heartbreaking handwritten note was found at the grizzly scene cartels
don't mess around. And these piles of personal items included forger,
pairs of shoes, closed jewelry, and diaries, just very very
(19:29):
sad stuff, which is why I guess it also is
a good thing that immigration accounts for the entire US
population growth for the first time. What seriously, our entire
US population growth? The immigration accounts for the entire for
the first time?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Are you kidding me? And they should not.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And they're also demeaning women, But who would want these things?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And everything's transgender? Everybody transgender. That's all you hear about. Now,
that's why we won the election in record numbers. But
that's right, that's everybody's transgender.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Welcome back to the show. Glad you're here, the Data Show.
It's Rich Zeolian for Data Today again. Be with you
back tomorrow for Friday End out the Week. Newsweek have
this article, which I guess is supposed to be an
insult to the military and their spending.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Here's the headline. Let me read this to you.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
US military spends eight times more on viagra than gender
affirming care.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Let me read that.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
US military spends eight times more on viagra than gender
affirming care. Okay, Now, first of all, if I'm serving
my country and I need a little help in that department,
which I don't serve my country, see what I did there.
But if I did, then I would say the government
(20:49):
should give me my you know, my little blue pill
or the white generic version of this.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's not even a question for me, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
The judge overseeing the case against the Defense departments firing
of transgender service members revealed that the military spends eight
times more on a rectile dysfunction medication than on gender
affirm and care.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
First of all, gender a firman care is one of.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Those euphemisms the left to use for chopping off body
parts and giving hormone blockers to kids, puberty blockers to kids,
which don't of course, actually block puberty, just delays it
messes with the kids, and they're incredibly harmful, which is
why they're banned in European countries now, thank god. As
is also these gender affirming practices for children. But while
(21:34):
discussing military spending with the Department of Defense, attorney for
the ongoing Talbot v. Trump case, Judge Anna Reis, said
the DoD spends approximately five point two million dollars annually
a medical care for service members with gender dysphoria. Comparatively,
the DoD spends forty two million dollars a year on
medication for service members with the rectile dysfunction. Hey, listen,
(21:56):
A big part of the reason why, men, I'm told,
and I don't know, oh this for a fact, sometimes
you need help in that department is because of stress.
War is stressful, Serving your country is stressful. I get it.
I understand that point. Again, I don't personally know if
(22:16):
that's true, but I've read.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That stress is a big indicator of this.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
But really, what it comes down to you is, this
is why the Secretary of Defense doesn't want and the
President doesn't want transgender service members serving in our military,
and I don't think they should be in our military. Well,
this is not a social club. Military is not a
social club. You want to live your life as a
transgender person, knock yourself out, you shouldn't be in the military. Though,
(22:45):
Just like I would say that if you are physically unfit,
you shouldn't be in the military. If you are a
weak and fragile you should I could not be in
the military. I'm weak and fragile. I'm constantly breaking things.
But if you have a little problem in the area
of you know who, like you know, that would be
the stress of probably being involved in war and conflict
(23:09):
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I get it. I understand that.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
But there's also other issues too that lead to that
age and you know, cholesterol levels and sleep apnea. There's
all kinds of things that should do with that. One
one has nothing to do with the other. By the way,
one it's like saying, well, you spend forty two trillion
dollars a year on blood pressure medication is what does
(23:34):
that have to do with transgender gender affirm and care
Either either you think the military should be in the
business of having transgender soldiers or not.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You can't equate that with what they spend on viagra.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Or any of the other rectile dysfunction drugs, not that
I know what they are, but I've heard there's other
names out there too. But the viagra spending was a
stupid point by the judge to make. At one point
attorneys had to admit to the judge they never read
articles which were included as evidence. The judge said that
they had cherry picked and egregiously misquoted studies put forward
(24:05):
by the Pentagon on transgender people decreasing the lethality of
the military.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Just for the record, I would.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Be more worried about soldiers who need help in that
department of rising to the occasion not getting the help
they need rising to the occasion in terms of us
having a strong fighting force, because those soldiers would then
be even more stressed out and even more distracted, if you.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Know what I mean. But one has nothing to do
with the other. This is what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
This is another case of a dumb federal judge, like
the federal judge who earlier today blocked the Trump administration
from firing all these people in the federal government. I mean,
this is not your job here. What does this have
to do with anything. In response to this, the Pentagon
saying transgender people decrease the lethality of thelitary they do
(25:01):
people with the rectile of this function, however, don't you
could still be pretty lethal.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But it's also about other things too. Uncohesion and.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
There's just there's a lot of other factors to this,
but again it one does not have anything to do
with the other. If if, for example, somebody has trouble
sleeping and the and and they get a sleep aid,
a sleeping aid or whatever, or they're given I don't know,
valume or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You go, wait, you're spending those money on sleeping aids,
but you're not spending money on transgender or firming care. Okay,
And yeah, and you're spend all this money giving giving
the military members golf lessons, but you won't spend this
money on transgender care.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
We're not.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's not the argument is not about whether or not
the government should be spending the money. The governments the
arguments of what it should be spending the money on. Hey,
the government's not turning around going, oh, you know, we
really can't afford this trench under careac. They're saying that
they don't want transgender soldiers in the military. The Secretary
Defense Pete has said transgender people lack warrior ethos, are liars,
(26:11):
lack integrity or not humble, are selfish, and can't meet
physical mental fitness requirements.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well that's his opinion. You can disagree with that, but
he's the Secretary of Defense. I mean, you know what.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's like saying, well, I think if he had easily
said that instead of transgender, if he had said weak
people physically weak people, lack warrior ethos, are liars, lack integrity,
are not humble, are selfish, and can't meet physical mental requirements,
be like, all right, well, that's kind of mean, but
(26:44):
it's your said. That's like your opinion, dude. To quote
the dude, I'm the big Lebowski, But it's it's not
the point. The point is that the commander in chief
doesn't want transgender people serving in the military.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
And I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's the right the commander in chief has, and it's
something he also said on the campaign trail and he
got elected. Pegsad's point about the integrity thing was that
you're going out there and you're lying. You're saying a
man's assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement
that others honor this falsehood is not consistent with the
humility and selflessness required of a service member. Military service
(27:25):
members must be reserved, or service must be reserved for
those mentally and physically fit for duty. So the judge
turns around and goes, So you're saying that people with
gender dysph you can't be honest, humble, or have integrity.
You think that's demeaning to people with gendereddess for you,
And the attorney said, I can't answer that question. Well,
let's also break down what genderness for you is, which
(27:46):
is a mental condition where you think you're in the
wrong body. You think, I mean, at one time that
was considered to be a psychological illness. The question that
I think the better question would be what do you
do with people who are who have mental illness in
the Middlelitary because the military will not accept people if
they have certain kinds of mental illness for the exact
same reason being that they could be a threat to
(28:08):
themselves or to the people they're serving with. I mean, like,
I'm not trying to be mean here, but if you
have people with severe mental illness dispatched overseas, that's not
in their best interest anymore than it's in the best
interest of the people that are serving with that person.
(28:29):
So I just I think, again, this is one of
those areas where you've got to turn around and you
got to say if the American people knew what the
president felt on the issue, and they did, and the
President of the United States, in his capacity as president,
turned around and said this is what we're going to do,
then the President of the United States gets to make
that determination. And I don't think the fact that we
(28:52):
have a lot of soldiers who need viagra is really
the issue. Thanks for tuning into today's edition of Dana
