(00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his life mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. All these security cameras are
getting better and better. I'd liketo know which one they were using on
this one. This what county is? This Polk County? The Sheriff's office

(00:24):
they provided for for a broadcast aFlorida man breaking into an apartment stealing ingredients
to make a morning screwdriver. Youngguys, you can see pretty good to
tail. You can see this facepretty good. Five point thirty in the
morning. He breaks into an apartment, gets some oj get some vodka.

(00:44):
You can clearly see in several picks, only thirty five dollars worth of stuff
as he got away with. Butso much for you as being too early
in the morning for drinking, thisguy obviously couldn't get a morning drink fast
enough. A screwdriver, some fruitrus and some vodka. And it was
this week, by the way,they celebrate this week National Screwdriver Day.

(01:07):
I learned something this week. I'mnot much into drinking, so something you
I'll probably know. It's a screwdriver'sfruit juice vodka. That's pretty much like
it could be orange juice, cranberryjuice, something like that. Why did
it call it screwdriver? Because ofWorld War Two, our soldiers would take
a screwdriver to open up the cansof juice. I don't have to mix

(01:27):
it with a vodka. Much ofwhat we see happening around us today results
from decades of failure in American education. Americans are increasingly divided over what policies
are best for our country. Sothat's why I'd like to invite you to
make a year end gift to HillsdaleCollege and their mission to preserve the blessings
of civil and religious liberty through aproper education. Hillsdale College is leading an

(01:49):
American revival. Over three and ahalf million citizens have enrolled in one or
more of Hillsdale's free online courses.Thousands of young Americans are enrolled in over
ninety Hillsdale affiliated k through twelve schools, and six point four million Americans receive
in Primus ten times a year.Hillsdale does all of this while refusing to
accept one penny of taxpayer funding.Hillsdale's independence means that they rely on the

(02:14):
support of citizens like you who understandthe importance of education and liberty. You
can make your tax deductible year endgift at Dana for Hillsdale dot com.
That's Dana four Hillsdale dot com onbehalf of our friends at Hillsdale College.
Have a Merry Christmas and a happyNew Year. He's the author of a

(02:37):
new book Sounds like a Great stockingstuffer, Cancel Culture Dictionary, and a
Z Guide to Winning the War onfund Right Jimmy Fayla he described Jimmy Fayler
from foction Has describes himself as atrophy husband. Thing is It's more like
a participation trophy, right, JimmyBoom, there it is. Yeah,

(02:58):
you still got it? Serge,how are you bud better now? Man?
That was to get your energy backinto my life. Man, Well,
I will say I will tell youthis. There's a lot of descriptions
in that book that matter. Theone where I say that I'm the best
dressed man in cable news. Okay. And and let's be clear, I

(03:19):
catch a lot of you know,Gutfeld always gives me a hard time.
I'm sorry, No, no,I'm not serious, That's what I'm saying.
Gottfeld likes Gotfeld likes to mock myjacket. But he's just mad because
they don't. They don't come inkid sizes, and that's all it is.
Well, you know, it isChristmas. It is Salvation Army season.

(03:43):
I guess by Salvation Army standards onthe thirst story. Yes, you
will be the best. You arethe best best dressed guy and cable TV.
All right, man, So cancelculture Dictionary. Tell me about your
work. How about you work onthis some of the stories to put this
Well, here's the deal. Okay, this book, as we bill it
as an A to Z guide towinning the War on Fun, we're doing

(04:06):
that because it's I'm basically making thecase to anybody it doesn't really matter what
political party you're in. Okay,cancel culture exists in our lives because of
social media. But these people existedbefore social media. We had a word
for them. They were called losers. Okay. Social media allowed a lot
of losers to find each other anduse their outrage to force action from big

(04:30):
corporations, from TV networks, Butnothing's better off because of it. And
that's the point I'm trying to makein the book, is that we're fighting
the wrong battles. You know,we've spent more time this summer fighting over
Jason Alden's song where he wants tostop violent criminals then we did over actual
violent criminals. You dig, We'remadter at the guy with the guitar,

(04:51):
then the guy who's pushing the oldlady onto the train tracks. Not to
be clear, if the old lady'sa Knicks fan, she probably wants to
get pushed onto the train tracks.But that being said, Al Deane's not
the bad guy. It's the otherperson doing the pushing. Yeah. And
the platform, as he rightfully mentionedthat the platform for all this silliness is
social media. I'm grateful for it. I mean, it's a product of

(05:14):
the First Amendment and for expression inthis country. But I was reflecting on
this earlier with Jessica Rosenthal. We'retalking about the lunacy on several American campuses,
Harvard and Penn look, and we'renot immune to it. Like here
at our UT branch in South Texasut RGV. Just this week, I

(05:34):
was playing some audio of mental midgetsjust parading around and advocating. They have
no idea, They probably have noidea what they're advocating for. Genocide of
all Jews, you know, fromthe river to the sea. Just monkey,
see monkey do They did it upnortheast, We're going to do it
as well down here. It's amazingthe ignorance. And within twenty four to
thirty six months, pou, Imean, go figure on social media.

(05:56):
Look in this country hypersensitivity on raceand coal cure in the Enlightenment. They
were taking down statues, they weregetting great of Aunt Chemiama, Uncle Ben's
the Redskins. That was like thirtysix twenty four to thirty six months ago,
and now blatant opened, unashamed antisemitism. It campuses all across the
nation and Director's doing nothing about haveto be hauled up to DC to talk

(06:18):
with lawmakers about it. It's amazing. Yeah. I've never been a hypocrisy
as well. Yeah, it's amazing, amazing. Never been prouder to have
gone to community college and majored inintro to Xbox because I didn't wind up,
you know, hating America or accumulatinga half a gazillion dollars in deaths.
Community college. I had to givea guy like a six pack of

(06:39):
stros to get in, and youknow, I got some common sense along
the way man, And that's that'skind of more what you need than anything
right now. I think we're beinghonest. They don't laugh too much.
But people majoring and stuff like that, I kid you not. Local schools
they have UIOL competitions for video gamesnow like Xbox and the PlayStation. Say

(07:00):
that's amazing. That changes. Look, I'm all for a free expression and
all that, and thank god welive in America where we can do that.
But those same people hip those hypocritesa long time ago. Who makes
them? Destroyed statues and symbols incorporations, all those idiots and hypocrites.
I say, bring them back,bring everything back. It works both ways.

(07:20):
It works both ways. That's theway should be in the mare.
Just a quick final thought on yourbook. Cancel culture Dictionary, tell me
about it. One final thought.They can buy it at Foxnewsbooks dot com.
If one of them buys it,it will double my sales. Right
now, we have my mom,I've been told my aunt frans a maybe,
but no, it's moving well.And it's basically listen, I'm fixing

(07:43):
the compass. The compass is brokenin society. You know everything we're going
after. You mentioned a lot ofit, like Native American mascots. Who
the heck does that help? Okay, for all the problems Native Americans face,
Okay, the halftime show isn't oneof them. Never mind that the
Washington redskins. Okay, that logowas donated by a Native American tribe who
wanted the chief's image on the helmet. Okay, because a redskin was not

(08:05):
a racial term. It was thehighest honor of warrior that got to paint
their face before leading the tribe intobattle. But a bunch of woke white
people were like, yeah, theNative Americans, this is halftime show,
isn't okay? And then once youchange the mascot, we move on as
if we've actually made progress, andas you know, we haven't made any
progress for that community. But that'sthe Freuda cancel culture. It's not activism,

(08:26):
it's slacktivism. It allows people tofeel like they're making a difference on
their phone by changing their profile pictureto the Ukrainian flag, and then when
they're done, they go google Ukraineand find out where it is. Thank
you for being who you are andJimmy, always enjoy your work online.
But you'd be safe. You're thebest searcher, Jimmy Fela cancel Culture Dictionary,
look for his new book. Andnow all of the news you would

(08:50):
probably miss. It's time for Dana'sQuick five. I'm Sergio sentchi sin for
my friend Dana. Lash of granolabars and cereal products being recalled potential salmonella
risk. Quaker Oat company sending upthis recall. Some of the items include
Quaker Chewy bars, puff granola cereal. The company has not received any confirmed

(09:13):
reports of illness. Is just fyi. And then there's this a follow up.
You guys remember that story of applesauce pouches. Well, here's the
latest hating on USA today. Theapple sauce pouches recalled for lead contamination might
have been contaminated intentionally. Yikes.Hes Food and Drug Administration investigating whether the

(09:37):
recalled cinnamon flavored apple sauce pouches soldnationwide and given to all sorts of kids.
Sixty five kids got sick with leadpoisoning as a result of this thing.
Now the FDA is I'm sorry thatus DA is investigating if this lead
poisoning was intentional somewhere in the supplychain. Stay tuned for details on that

(09:58):
one move over Rotisserie Chicken. TheCostcos has sold Costco the Big Box has
sold more than one hundred million dollarsworth of gold bars. They did that
last quarter. Costco began selling goldonline in September one. Ounce twenty four
carried gold bar, selling for abouttwo thousand bucks. They selled online limit

(10:22):
two bars of gold per Costco membershipand it sells out. I'm Sergio Sanchez.
You're listening to the Dana Show fromSouth Texas. Out of sheer obligation
to acknowledge some of the day's news, I got to cover this next one.
But a fire Democrats a Senate aidea twenty four year old young man

(10:48):
who made a gay sex tape ina Senate room. This young man is
facing criminal charges. He made afull throttle X rated clip. It went
viral. I don't know, see, I don't know about this. There
are many in the gay community thatwant you, no matter what, by

(11:15):
force, to accept their lifestyle.And you got to see it. You
gotta want. I mean, that'swhy they parade and they prayed with nothing
on or maybe some s and mgear and with dudes in high heels and
trans and all that. All thatstuff that they enjoy in the one life

(11:37):
that they have to live, thatthey're allowed to live. That's what they've
chosen to enjoy and live, andthat's that's their lifestyle. I don't,
I don't care. Just don't putit in front of my kids. Don't.
Don't. Don't be flashing your youknow, your male bubble butt injected

(12:00):
you know, surgery enhanced button infront of my kids. Don't. Don't
let my kids see that. Idon't let my kids see that. I
let my kids see, you know, women doing stuff like that. I
got some healthy boys, but someof these, some of these folks in
the gay community will force or wantto force everybody to accept them no matter

(12:22):
what. And I say this becauseI don't know if this young man,
this Democrats Senate eight. I justhave my suspicion. It's just a suspicion.
I'm just commenting here. Maybe hereleased it, maybe he threw it
out there because he wants everybody tosee, wants everybody to accept. But
you know what I find surprising.Look this guy, this twenty four year

(12:45):
old young man, uh Aiden Aidenmees Kerpopski. I don't know how to
say his name twenty four year old. He worked for Democrat Senator Ben Carden
and it yearly shows two men,you know, getting with it the way
that gay men will supposedly ran thisclip in that Senate room, and I'll

(13:09):
leave it at that. Why arethe Democrats not celebrating this? You know,
I seem to recall when Slick wasin the White House Bill Clinton,
you know, his behavior, hisraunchy, unethical, abusive behavior as a

(13:33):
subordinate and in turn, you know, all this oral stuff, the cigarettes,
the cigar, I'm sorry, allthat stuff. You know. Back
then, they were using the excuseto defend him that, oh, it's
just sex, It's just I say, that's private. Whatever. That They
were defending him. They went togreat lengths to defend him, despite the
fact that he literally soiled the Ovaloffice with his bodily you know, fluids,

(13:58):
and her dress as well, andthey defended. They circle the wagons
to defend him. What has changed? And where's the gay leadership, gay
community, the militants out there protectingthis young man. Now he's made himself
out to be the victims. Idon't know, I'm suspicious of this.
I'm thinking, I know, maybehe released it or a friend released it.

(14:18):
But either way, he gets fired, he gets canned. He might
be facing criminal charges as a resultof a result of having gay sex in
one of those Senate rooms. Maybefacing criminal charges. Why I thought you
Democrats celebrated this up in Washington.Oh, I think I's defended this up
in Washington. Maybe this kid wasn'tpowerful enough for that to warrant that.
