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, all right. So gosh, this this is like
probably gonna be the sanest part of the week as
(00:21):
Florida Man, honestly. So this guy, I really want to
do the bulldozer first because bulldozers are just funny and
I always think of the killdozer. You know, this is
from Motor Biscuit. Florida men use a bulldozer and a
rifle to bully two people camped near private property, so
(00:42):
they were not apparently brandishing, but they did use the bulldozer.
So three men used a bulldozer. They were trying to
evict two homeless campers and they showed up at a
campsite near the DeLand, Florida property. And they didn't start small.
The immediate started with literally a bulldozer. They were driving
(01:04):
it at the time, and they said they needed to
mow the camp down. Nobody was injured, but authorities still
arrested the bulldozer guy. But wait a minute, if it's
like your private property, if he wasn't on his property,
obviously that's one thing. But yeah, I mean, so they
were near it. Also, I wouldn't would you want homeless
people putting up? I mean it's is it redundant to
(01:26):
say homeless campers? Yeah, because that's why I don't like camping. There.
Why would you say homeless campers? They were just okay,
I'm sorry, this is now the segment. Why would you
say homeless campers? Because it's the same thing. This is
why I don't like camping. We invented the house and
lights and running water. So if I'm not going to
(01:47):
pretend to be homeless, I'm just not. So that's that
words that that's holds with redundant phrase, you can't unify
with some of these people. Case in point, I noticed
this this. I don't even follow Broadway. I don't follow Broadway.
I know who Kristin chennow with is because she was
in that one Christmas movie with Danny DeVito. I don't
(02:13):
remember what it was, but they had a Matthew Broderick
Danny DeVito, and they had a Christmas light compety that
they were like petty neighbors. Anyway, it's not important, but
the important thing is that she said something very nice
about Charlie Kirk on one of his videos, Kristin Chenna
with like happy little Kristen Chenna with right she was
(02:34):
in wasn't she in the Broadway version of Wicked or
something like that? Yeah, she said something very nice and
was merely marking because she had to have known that
a lot of people who like her were also fans
of Charlie Kirk, and she just merely said something nice
(02:56):
about him, like it's so sad. I mean, I think
that completely normal to say, how sad you think it
is that someone like like that? He was just shut
down simply for debating, and she was absolutely dragged in
her comments. I she said she was upset by his
(03:22):
death and said that she now she knows that he
is now in heaven. She says, I'm so upset. Didn't
always agree, but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak his
young family. I know where he is now heaven, but
still and that she had a breaking heart And people
were dragging her for this. What is wrong with you
(03:43):
that you can't even express something like that? Well, I
didn't like what they thought. Oh my gosh, I didn't
realize that you were the ombudsman of death, that you
were appointed the bouncer of determining who gets to live
or die based on their views. You better pray to
God that I'm never appointed to that position. Of these
people are so self involved. Well, I just didn't like
(04:04):
his views, so I can't. What is the matter with you,
Chloe Kardashian. Another example, Kane, this is turning me into
the Daily Mail sidebar. Chloe Kardashian had expressed sympathy for
his family, Chloe Kardashian, and they started dragging her in
the comments. She was lambasted by fans, says headlines for
(04:28):
liking a Christian tribute to Charlie Kirk. She liked it.
She didn't even say anything, she just liked it. And
these people that have no lives, Oh my gosh, I
just saw Chloe Kardashian like this. I've got a r
I've got a riot, and they win at her for this.
(04:49):
We are not the same, y'all, we are not the same.
And then you have this trainny cyclist. I don't know
if you saw those. It's a transgender cyclist who apparently
got very upset that people were expressing sympathy. Some I
(05:12):
don't know why that was so bad for Charlie Kirk
and decided to say nasty things. It's a Team USA cyclist.
By the way, why do we have a dude on
the chicks team a Team USA, I don't know. It's
a BMX cyclist. It's a dude. And the individual, this
person he calls himself Chelsea Wolf. He was an alternate
(05:34):
on the women's BMX team at the Tokyo Olympics in
twenty one. He had above the USA Today headline of
the murder. He had adore the Explorer gift on it
and it said we did it like he was celebrating it,
this guy, and then he gave a thumbs up, called
(05:55):
him a Nazi, all this other stuff because Charlie Kirk
could not be forced into adopting this guy's fantastical perspective
of his own life in genitals, way to go and
making us think you're even more mentally disturbed than we
(06:16):
thought originally. I mean, we already know that you're struggling
with gender dysphoria. It's a mental illness. I had a
whole column over at the Washington Times talking about how
Trump should not be using that blanketly as a blanket
to go and disarm people. But people like this training
who are on the women's team. BMX, you're not helping
things by doing this kind of stuff because you have
(06:39):
to be mentally ill to have that kind of reaction
to someone being shot in the neck in front of
their family and their children and thousands of people watching.
This is about dehumanization. I'm tired of hearing trainees and
I'm if you don't like my language, go to hell,
because I'm not. I'm you had the nice guy. All
(07:03):
of these people that are dehumanizing someone because they will
not bend and share their fantasy perspective of gender, and
you have the audacity to say it's dehumanizing because you
cannot usurp someone's free will and force them to do
(07:25):
what you want. You think that your inability to force
them through dehumanization. You think that that is dehumanizing. Again,
you have to be mentally ill to have that kind
of circular logic. No, they had the nice guy. I
(07:47):
don't feel in any way nice. I really want to
be mean about this dude because he was so nasty.
I mean, he looks like a skex. He's unmasked. Stop.
Like I said, it's really really hard to be a
Christian during these times because you have understandable anger and
people are saying, well, we got to unite, we got
(08:07):
to I watched this thing with Stephen King unfold on
social media. I don't know if you saw this. He
yesterday went out and said that Charlie Kirk repeatedly said
that people should be stoned. That he said that gay
should be stoned. That's what he said. And he said
(08:28):
he had he advocated that stoneing Gaze did that that
was just one of the things that he said. And
that's not at all what Charlie Kirk had ever done.
In fact, there are all of these videos of him
talking to gay conservatives at these events and they would say, well,
how do you reconcile this? And he goes, well, he goes,
I'm a Christian. He's like, so, I don't agree with
(08:49):
your lifestyle, but I'm also a conservative and he says, politically,
we agree on the same things. He goes, most of
the time, we agree on the majority of things. And
he says, for that, welcome, welcome to the conservative movement.
And I thought that that was a really great response,
completely opposite to what Stephen King had said. And so
(09:12):
Stephen King was dragged all day yesterday, and then he
couldn't just apologize. He said, I apologize for Saint Charlie
Kirk advocated stony gaze. What he actually demonstrated was how
some people cherry pick biblical passages. What he was in
cherry picking a biblical passage, he was merely stating exactly
(09:37):
his belief. But then also he would welcome people to
the conservative movement. And I mean, I don't know. The
whole thing is insane to me. And he really wasn't apologizing.
He kind of was, but he wasn't in his own
(09:58):
way because he's so blinded by pride and ego. That's
the other thing. If you are really searching for honest,
genuine discussion and you are in the wrong, you don't
double down on it. It's either about discerning truth or
it's not. And if it's not about discerning the truth,
and what's the effort for. And that was kind of
(10:22):
Charlie's approach to this. He wanted to convert. I've always
said that converting people is one less person you have
to fight. It's true. He liked converting people and bringing
them over. It's one less person you have to fight,
and it's one more person you have to fight them.
But he did it very genuinely in the pursuit of
(10:47):
truth and common ground, and he was incredibly effective at it,
and that's what got him killed. He was very effective
at it. If it's not about discerning that truth, and
what's the point. And I look at people like Stephen
King You say that you you are about the fact
of the issue, and that it is about discovering the
truth of the matter. But when you are proven wrong
(11:09):
on it, there's no room for ego. If you're hurt,
your ego is hurt, if your feelings are hurt, then
you are not in this for the right reasons. This
is why the left gets so emotional over everything. And
I don't want the right to turn into this. And
that's something that even predates Charlie. The left gets so
(11:31):
upset when proven wrong because it's not about the truth
of the issue for them. It is about power for them,
and they take it very personally. When they are proven
wrong on an issue, it is a diminishment of their
power and influence, and they react emotionally because they are
not in this for the same reason that you and
I are in this for. They are in this for control.
(11:54):
We don't want to control anyone because I don't love
anyone that much to control everyone. I'm sorry, I'm not Jesus.
I follow him. I fall short. But you're the same way.
Nobody wants to control anybody. We just want to be
left alone, and we want the truth of the issue,
truth and logic way out. It's about power for them,
it's about control for them. And so Stephen King he
(12:18):
was mad that he was proven wrong. If you really
think about this, if you really loved the Gaze and
you thought that someone advocated for stoning them to death,
and then you find out that they didn't ever actually
advocate for stoning them to death, wouldn't you be happy
about that? Wouldn't you say instead, Oh, gay community, this
(12:40):
guy didn't want to stone you to death. Isn't that great? No,
he was still mad. He doesn't give a rats ass
about the gays. He doesn't care about the truth of anything.
It's about ego, power and control. He was still mad.
That is why it's not an apology, he said. Then
(13:01):
later three hours after, he goes, well, okay, I was wrong,
and I apologize. I've deleted the post. Fine, no qualifications.
I think Charlie would have accepted that. And here's the difference.
Charlie would have accepted it, and then Charlie would have
invited Stephen King on his podcast to talk about it
(13:21):
as a gesture of goodwill. Would Stephen King have done
the same? We have more on the way. So the
folks over at Celtech they make a mighty fine five
to seven. It's their one of their newest, the PR
fifty seven, chambered in five to seven. It's a super lightweight,
concealable five to seven. It's an realistically concealable five to seven,
(13:42):
by the way, and they accomplished this in a couple
of different ways. First off, the rotary barrel, the design
allows it to be lighter, and the way that it loads.
It has the unique top loading design that replaces traditional
magazines with stripper clips that gives you a slimmer carry
profile and a twenty plus one capacity, a really low
recoil for ease of use and act accuracy, great trigger,
easy field strip MSRP only three ninety nine, so it's
(14:04):
super affordable. It's forty percent lighter than the next lightest
five seven, and it's available now through Keltech. Learn more

of the news you would probably miss. It's time for
Dana's Quick five, all right, So we're going to have
(14:28):
to have a whole other segment here coming up about
this stuff on break all right. So first up, I
want to talk about emotional support alligators because I think
they're very important to society. I'm not kidding you. So
this is in Pennsylvania. A Western Pennsylvania man and his
emotional support alligator. They took a shopping cart, spent around
(14:50):
the local Walmart, and he says they never had a problem,
but then Walmart confirmed that they told him to stay
away on Thursday. Wesley Silva, he's sixty years old and
he's a I foot long, thirty two pounds. I can't
say this thing's name, alligator named Jens Jin Sioshi. They
made the local news after they went to Walmart and
he was pushing his gator around in a shopping cart
(15:12):
and she was in a dress. Oh my gosh, it's
in a sweater with fer trim on this photo. Anyway,
he goes, We've been going Walmart for like four years,
and he goes, Everything's always fine, and he said that,
you know, she never gets out of the cart. She
just sits there. It's all she does. And he says
he got the alligator from a neighborho couldn't care for
(15:33):
it anymore. And usually Sioshi spends her days in a
pool outside and nights in a bathtub of water. And
so he's a pastor and he he was like, he
just didn't understand why they wouldn't let I don't if
it's not bothering anybody, it's not. It's sitting in the cart,
sitting there. It's a happy, little fat gator sitting in
(15:53):
the cart in a dress, getting pushed around by this dude,
just getting his snacks in his everyday necessities. It's all
that's happening here. I mean, can't a man just take
his emotional support alligator to Walmart anymore? I mean, what
is happening in this country? Now? I want one? They
look hysterical, dressed up. I know they don't like it,
but still, Cornell's students were found skinning a bear carcass
(16:16):
in a campus residence hall. What is happening on college campuses.
The Department of Conservation. They got a call day to
go literally pick up a bear. Two students apparently killed
a young black bear, brought the animal to their dorm,
and then they were skinning the carcass and packaging the meat,
(16:38):
and then other residents started complaining. No charges have been filed.
I mean, were they It was about the size of
a large dog. I don't think you should be taking
juvenile bear. Sorry, but that's your first mistake, as you know,
you don't take a juvenile like that. It's my opinion.
But they said that they had valid hunting licenses and
it was lawfully harvested, so you know, it's like, you know,
(17:00):
it wouldn't shoot a fawn, you know what I'm saying.
I don't know. I just have thoughts on that. But
otherwise it just seemed they apparently their code of conduct
does not have any rules about transporting what you've harvested
from nature or process. I just find it hysterical because
you know, these dudes were like, but it ain't illegal.
(17:23):
You know, you're gonna make sausage out of it. Like,
I'm just curious as to like what the culinary delights
are gonna what's gonna come from that? Two men are
wanted after a Humpty Dumpty statue was stolen at a
Jersey shore golf course. This is very particular. They were
caught on CCTV taking the Humpty Dumpty statue and they
(17:45):
are wanted. They said that once they gave the they
even gave the clothing of Humpty Dumpty and the bolo,
which is funny. It was taken from Ocean Put miniature
golf and it was taking early Sunday. They took that
Humpty Dumpty statue. Let's see. You got a couple of
other things, including a mother who was ordered to remove
a statue attached to her house by the city council.

you've seen this. This is the big debate today, the
very big debate today, and I think it first came
let me pull this up. I think it was Rolling
Stone that first did this. Here's the headline. People are
(19:10):
losing their jobs for criticizing slain free speech advocate Charlie Kirk. Journalists, publicist,
college faculty have been fired after calling him a divisi
figure and making light of his assassination. Okay, that's not
even an accurate headline. If you're going to say stuff
like this, have the balls to be honest about it.
You absolute cowardly rerat bastards in the press. People don't
(19:33):
hate you enough. They don't even have the courage to
state exactly what's been happening. I would imagine that teachers,
for instance, recording themselves gleefully celebrating someone's death, someone's murder
in a ghoulish fashion. Be accurate about it, describe fully,
(19:59):
Make sure you quote these teachers and these people that
are getting fired by their employers because they say things
into the camera with their own mouths, like I'm glad
he got shot or I'm glad he was killed, or
I wish that I was the one that did it.
Because that's what they're saying. That's why they're getting fired.
Their employers are like, holy hell, no way, we don't
(20:20):
want to know. Now. They look at it and they're like,
these people are nuts. We don't want them on our campuses.
I mean, these people, this is what the right does.
The Right's like, okay, good morning, I'm gonna log into
my totally anonymous X account and say things like I
disagree with Eleano mar And then the left is like, yeah,
I'm a teacher, I miss Karen Karen the teacher at
(20:43):
you know, Joe Blow Elementary, And I'm just gonna record
myself saying I'm so glad that Charlie Kirk is dead.
Do you see the difference. It's not cancel culture. It's
called accountability. No one told these employers to fire these people.
The employers were like, oh, you were dumb enough to Actually,
these people are using social media accounts that have their
(21:06):
job titles in it, their full names, their job titles
on pages where they talk about their employer. That's not
cancel culture. Most people sign a contract stating up on
employment that they're not going to embarrass their employer. That's
actually in subordination and a violation of their contractual obligation.
(21:27):
So it's technically not even remotely cancel culture. But I
don't care if it is right now do you know why?
Because hey, these are y'all's rules. Oh wait a minute,
the left is suddenly upset about playing their own rules.
I'm very familiar with their cancel culture game. They invented it.
They've tried to cancel me in a million other people.
(21:48):
These are your rules, Left, You guys created this game.
You bought the ticket, Now take the ride. That's what
this is. No, it's not cancel culture. These are people,
like I said, I'm not going to play all of
it because it'll just get you guys so upset. And
I feel like right now everybody kind of needs just
(22:12):
to process the grieving part of this, all of this horribleness.
But you have people who are they're out there themselves
using their names. They're doctors, guys, they're pilots, you know.
One of them was an American Airlines pilot. Okay, first off,
(22:33):
Number one, how are you a pilot? Using your name
and then underneath your name on your social media account
it literally says pilot with American Airline And on your
social media account you have photos and posts about your job.
That couch the whole I wish Charlie Kirk was dead,
the horrible stuff that you say there was. I mean
(22:54):
literally a guy like legit celebrating the death like gleefully
recording himself celeb rating it. And then you know why
you get fired if you're a pilot and you do that.
Who the hell wants to fly on a plane with
that guy piloting it? Kane, would you want to fly
on a plane with that dude piloting it? No? No, no,
(23:16):
there's a lot of the left that are suicidal. I
don't want him in charge of my plane. Hell, he
might drive he might be like, wait a minute, there's
a million Charlie Kirk's on this plane. I'm gonna drive
it into a mountain, right, I mean it's it's a
terrifying concept. Or teachers. There were okay, so a handful
and actually more than that of teachers elementary school, junior high,
(23:38):
et cetera. That records. Some of them were recording themselves
in their classrooms, recording themselves in their classrooms saying I
wish I could have done it, or I'm so glad
he's dead blah blah blah, or laughing or making fun
of what happened. There was a woman who was doing
choreography of the blood that was spilled. That's all I'm
gonna say. And they have on their they're using their
(24:02):
name their social media account that says employed at this school,
not even kidding. They're screenshots of this that exist, so
this is not being made up. And then they're like, wow,
I can't believe I was fired because the school looks
at someone who is teaching young children that is celebrating
joyfully murder. I would not want anyone who does that
(24:26):
to be teaching my children or any children, do you. So, No,
this is not cancel culture. Rolling Stone acts like all
these people on the ride are out there just like
trying to uncover these anonymous accounts. These are not anonymous accounts. Guys,
these are idiots, Like it's off limbs of TikTok. Literally
just repost stuff that's on TikTok. This is the same thing.
(24:49):
You post it again. You bought the ticket, now take
the ride. That's what this is. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors.
You literally have a dean of a university who got
in trouble for this.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I mean, I'm looking at this list. There was a teacher,
Benjamin Filio who was fired at Barrington School and he
was on TikTok. Literally has his name teacher at Barrington School,
even has the handle of the school in his bio,
and he's doing this stuff. And then he's like, I
can't believe I got fired. When you again, when you
(25:30):
sign a contract to go and work, if you're a teacher,
you sign these contracts. You sign contracts like this, you
also agree to not make remarks like this that bring
any repute ill repute upon the school. There was a
college professor, Lisa Greenley Greensboro, North Carolina Community College. She
(25:52):
recorded herself literally she says, I am an English professor
currently working at the greens earl Uh North Carolina Community
College in Jamestown and has her name. She records herself saying, quote,
I'll praise the shooter. He had good name, he had
good aim. She records herself saying this and puts it
(26:14):
out on the account that literally says quote, I am
an English professor currently working at GTCC in Jamestown. You're
surprised that the school is going to fire him. You
guys are turning me into like a femini. Sam Kennison here,
Jimminy Christmas. Oh my gosh, yeah, listen to this. Do
(26:37):
we really want to play this? It's so I'm trying
so hard. I think people have to hear what the
left does.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, no prayers and thoughts for Charlie Nick, No, I
have no prayers and thoughts for him left from all
my further thoughts for the instant children who did nothing wrong.
We're not setting out devices messages. We're not saying MV
is a problem with America. I refer giving the infidity guy.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I will type his name. I'm not gonna be able
to much more less. I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, that's sure.
There's also I mean, I have like so many there's
so many examples here because I mean, they're all over
the internet, so mostly peaceful means. Had one. This is
at Greenville County Schools, Jiminy Christmas. So this guy, he's
(27:33):
on Facebook using his name on Facebook, and he posts
thoughts and prayers to his children. But in my opinion,
America became greater today. There I said it on his
Facebook profile. It has his name and his profession and
where he works. I can't believe I was fired. My god, kine,
(27:59):
what would happen? And if I went yeah, I'm a
radio host at Radio America and Dana Lash and I
went out and I posted, you know, celebrating, which would
never happen somebody on the left getting killed. Nobody on
the right does that. No, But just for the purpose
of argument, for illustration, would Radio America then be within
(28:20):
their right because I'm like, oh, I'm it, have all
the identifiers up there, and what if I recorded myself
sitting here doing it? Yeah, they would absolutely have every
legal recourse to react about. It's de termin unemployment. We
could both scream freedom of speech and First Amendment, but
this isn't that, Yeah, exactly, people think I really feel
like people on the left have no idea what the hell.
(28:40):
Freedom of speech means, I mean clearly, because they're shooting
people in the neck for it. They have no idea
what freedom of speech means. Their idea free speech means
you also have to have my opinion. Everybody has my opinion,
then it's free speech. That's what the left thinks. That's
how they operate. It's just asinine. No, this is I mean,
think about this stuff like the Oxford Union when president
(29:00):
celebrated his death. The Oxford Union president who shows up
to debate wearing uggs and sweatpans, I'm sorry, you're a
pathetic loser who only is there because of DEEI. It
was just them trying to look like they're honestly, that's
the reason why he's there, because I've heard this guy
debate and I'm like, this guy could not argue his
way out of a paperbag. What the hell? And he
(29:21):
shows up looking like a slab that just rolled off
of the couch and his mom's basement, and he was
celebrating the assassination. No, they don't believe in free speech
because to them, free speech means you believe in their
opinion too. That's the only free speech that counts.
