Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. Yeah, Florida Man.
This is Creig Collin's filling in onthe Dana Show. A couple quick ones.
Florida man was arrested for hurling chairsand planks of wood off a roof

(00:22):
of a midtown Manhattan skyscraper. Ihad no idea how the guy got all
the stuff he was throwing off thetop of the roof up there. I
feel like somebody should have noticed that. I mean, he's just throwing it
out there and getting arrested for it. Another Florida man bought a mask at
a gas station so that he couldcross the street to a bank to try
to rob it. That's a realthing that happened. The guy was like,

(00:43):
oh, I need I need oneof them masks right now. What
are you going to do with that, sir? It doesn't matter. I'm
just going to go over to thebank across the street and with Ross and
Fox, he was also arrested.Deputies cracked that case because well, it
was very very easy to find outwho was all right. Abbreviated version of
Florida man Craig Doll's filling in onthe Dana Show. All right, other

(01:03):
things out there that I thought wereinteresting. James Carvill has been popping up,
He pops up more often than Iever thought he would at this time
in our lives, talking about howBiden's pull numbers are so so bad,
they're well, like a very horriblemental photo or mental image. Here we
go. I don't think people reallyappreciate how bad Biden's pull numbers are.

(01:29):
When you look at him, it'slike walking down your grandmother nick No unsee.
Why does he say that so often? Why is that his go to
James Carvill, that Biden's pull numbersor whatever it is you're talking about is
the same as seeing a site you'dnever ever want to see and you'd want
to have burned from your brain.But he's saying that yet again, it's
out there, it's in the world, and you can find it if you

(01:52):
want to. And he is rightby the way, that Biden's pull numbers
are terrible. And yes, Iknow. There's a couple polls recently,
including one out of Fox, thatsays that Biden is now tied with Trump
on a registered voter scale. Trumpis still doing well in states that are
likely to actually decide the election,which I think is very interesting. Trump

(02:15):
will likely, I assume, bedoing well after this first debate. I
can't imagine that Biden will actually besuccessful when he is asked to respond to
things and not just speak with somesort of canned speech the entire time.
But we will see. That issomething that I guess will be determined about

(02:35):
a week from now. And asI said before, he is holed up
in Camp David practicing everything he canpossibly practice to be as good as possible
for this individual. But again,I think that we will see a stark
difference in the mental capability of twoindividuals, both of which who are in
their seventies plus or eighties. Buthonestly, it's not just how old you

(02:58):
are, it's how well your brainworks. And I do love all the
cheap fakes. I loved a lotof what Dana was saying the other day
about the cheap fake videos and howstupid all that is. And honestly,
whether or not that was just anaccidental misspeaking by Krin John Pierre that she
meant to say deep fakes, buther brain stopped her because they are real
videos. So what came out wascheap fakes, which is ridiculous because there's

(03:22):
so so many of them. Allright, for some reason CNN called Brian
Stelter and put him on TV theGhost of Brian Stelter, whatever you want
to call this, since Stelter wasfired by CNN and he was talking about
the cheap fakes himself. And ofcourse this is one of the fear monger,

(03:42):
stupidity, far left guys during thepandemic that told everybody how horrible they
were if you decided not to getvaccinated. And then oh yeah, comes
out that everybody was transmitting COVID evenif you had the vaccine. Again,
again, all these things, andactually Stelter hasn't had theology tour, not
that it's actually a full apology tourthat Cuomo has had. Cuomo is now

(04:04):
somebody who's vaccine impacted or has along term illness due to the vaccine,
by his own statement, so thethings he says are now more nuanced while
not apologizing for the past. Buthere's Stealter being stealter. But whether the
presidents defecating in public, imagine we'regoing to be abou October. You know
the Whitehouse perser. I use thephrase cheap fakes, the idea of cheap

(04:27):
fakes. Let me explain what thatis to people. We now plays about
AI deep fakes, that computer generatedimages are going to trick pizza word and
something that's totally false. Cheap fakesare a little bit simpler. They're cheap.
They're just distorted, out of contextvideos, chopped up in certain ways,
constructed in certain ways. That's whatwe're seeing. That's what the Biden
administration, the Biden campaign is soworried about right now. But made no
mistake, they are worried about this. This is a real problem. This

(04:49):
is not it's a real problem becauseit's a real thing that Biden does.
My favorite one, actually, ifI can talk about it for just a
second, is the one with theparachuters. You probably saw this one,
and you've probably now seen the debunkingof this video. It's where Biden is
turned around and all the other worldleaders are pointed at just one person,
one trooper who's parachuting into an areawhere world leaders are. Yes, there

(05:13):
are other people parachuting into that area, and Biden seems to be paying attention
to them. But the problem withunderstanding the dynamic of all this. You're
a world leader, you're in frontof other world leaders. You know there's
a camera rolling, because they dothat on purpose whenever they do any of
this stuff. And everyone else islooking one direction at one person, and

(05:34):
you're the only guy off in thecorner doing your own thing, and you
don't notice. That seems to bementally bad no matter what you're saying.
And yes, the Internet made jokesthat he was just looking at ghosts or
just veering off into the nethers anddidn't know at all what was going on,
but even in the real context ofthe video, it still looks horrible,

(05:56):
and he has to be grabbed andturned around in order to pay attention
to what he's said supposed to bepaying attention to. So this refuting of
cheap fakes is just the most ridiculousnew hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation thing,
because that's the thing too. Whenmainstream media and the left, which
I guess you can also just callmainstream media, but when politicians on the

(06:19):
left are in uniform in rejecting somethingand telling you it's a lie, most
likely that's the most true thing you'reseeing right now in your life. And
all those videos are real, andthere's so so many of them, and
even if it's just a few moments. And I think I heard said on
Fox and Friends either this morning oryesterday, but you all have somebody in

(06:42):
your life, or at least alot of us do, someone who's getting
older, someone who you start toworry about more, whoever that might be.
And these little moments, these littlereflections of things not being what they
used to be, at least forthe person mentally, are the things that
you obsess about, the things youtell their doctor about, because they're the
signs that you know everything's not okay. And we're seeing these on world stages

(07:09):
from our president, even if it'sfor a few moments, and even if
people like Barack Obama are helping pullhim off a stage somewhere, the recovery
doesn't matter. It's the moment itselfthat's terrifying, because this guy is in
charge of the entire country. Idon't know how to say that differently.
Actually, I do love the factthat people say, at least I hear

(07:29):
them say that, you know,the far right media, the conservative media,
the crazy media is what the leftwants to call it, essentially is
overinflating these issues. When the personwe're discussing is the president of the United
States. It's not like you're pickingon your boss who's showing up at work
and getting confused every so often.That wouldn't be great. I'm sure you'd

(07:51):
want to discuss that with the otherpeople in your office, but that's not
something that needs to be national news. This should be These are the kind
of things that news should be reportingto us, should be telling us that
this is what we're worried about.They should be peeling this onion back,
not pretending it's an onion that noone should be talking about at all.
That's why people lose so much trust. Kel Tech is a great company.

(08:13):
Three hundred awesome Americans work here.George Kelgrin immigrated the right way, came
in from Sweden, went to Cocoa, Florida, and created an awesome boomstick
company founded in nineteen ninety one,and it's an innovative Florida based creator of
pistols, rifles, shotguns, aswell as all kinds of accessories and gear.
And they've continued the mission of gamechanging innovation and performance with their sub

(08:35):
two K Gen three. It's alight, it's foldable, it's effective,
and you don't have to detach.Your favorite mags are your favorite optics.
Also, you just fold the wholething in half and it also just as
quickly and easily deploys. Actually,just remembered I got some stuff in from
Celtech that I just literally this weekand that I need to unpack and take

(08:56):
to the range. They need togo take my toys out. But they're
all quality made right here in theUS of a Celtech, made in America,
family owned company, family owned values, the employ veterans, they stand
behind what we all believe in.And it's just another great American company that
makes stuff that's useful to you andsupports your natural rights. See all Keltech
has to offer at keltech weapons dotcom. That's k e l Tec Weapons

(09:18):
dot com. Follow them on socialmedia so you can be in the know
and stuff drops. It's kell TechWeapons dot Com. Tell them, Dana,
sn't you quick five time? Let'sdo a quick five and now all
of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five.
Forgot about that all right? HurricaneAlberto the first named hurricane. Not sure
that that's something you want as anachievement. There is moving through Mexico right

(09:39):
now on its way to Texas,heavy rain, heavy flooding in parts of
Mexico and Texas. There have beenthree deaths so far, so this hurricane
is officially deadly and it's going tomove throughout parts of the United States at
some point. There remains a threatfrom tornadoes or two other things across the
Deep South in Texas, So beprepared wherever you are if this is something

(10:01):
that's going to go through your ownarea. Just a you know, story
that we hear every so often,and of course a lot of people probably
talking about hot weather and all weatherrelated stuff, and I'm not going to
reposition it to be about something else. Weather happens. This is one version
of it. San Francisco has anew tourism pitch that is interesting. It's

(10:22):
not that you could pick up somefree neatles on the ground if you want
them, or there's some homeless peopleyou can make friends with who are hanging
out, or even that they've leftsome gifts along the sidewalks that are human
in nature and things you don't want. It's chillier there than in a lot
of the rest of California. Theysay they see temperatures in the sixties around
now, So you should go hangout in San Francisco because you can cool

(10:46):
off a little bit and then alsowind up in a you know, trashed,
very interesting version of a US city. But hey, ignore that stuff
because it feels a little cooler.Another thing out there for a quick five
are trying to lure the remaining employeesthat don't want to go back to offices
with fancy desks or just desk space, or even maybe an office space of

(11:09):
your own. They're also doing somethingcalled hot desking, which is where you
sort of share spaces. Nobody hastheir own office. Everybody uses other spaces
occasionally. Apparently this is a thingthat people think is going to work.
Maybe even some fancy coffee, someyoga classes, a DJ party in the
office. I am glad I don'twork in places that do any of these
things, because that is horrible.I would not want to see a DJ

(11:33):
come in into a party during mywork day. I feel like that would
put a lot of us off.Another quick five thing that I thought was
really interesting an entire playground was stolenin Jacksonville, Florida. I'm not lying
about this. An entire playground wastaken, and from autistic kids too,
which makes it even meaner. Here'san executive director, a Melissa Kramer,

(11:54):
talking about how you show up atschool one day and the playground's gone,
and you don't really know how tovalue that. Hold on a sec let
me make sure that you actually canhear that audio. Well, I think
that's my fault. Here, let'stry that out again. Here we go
else we're shocked. A couple ofthem got here before me and they were
like, Melissa, what are youdoing with the playground? It was just
gone. I don't know how youtake a thirty foot playground. And they

(12:15):
took the swings, they took theslide, they took the monkey bar,
like everything, it's just gone.Why, really bizarre? Why do that?
I don't know if you're selling itfor metal, if there's all of
a sudden now a playground at somesort of other spot that it shouldn't be
at, like somebody's backyard, whereyou're like, wait a minute, that
really seems like the playground from thatschool. But nonetheless, yes, an

(12:35):
entire playground stolen in Florida. Theseare the things happening in the world in
which we live. They are horrible. One last one for the quick five
that I like a lot, Abrand new piece of advice for anyone to
stay in shape, to stay healthy, if you're older, if you're in
you know, late stages in life, lift heavy, bro really gets swollen,

(12:56):
Really work out as much as youpossibly can with the heaviest weights pausible.
They did a study. They haddifferent groups of people do different kinds
of workouts, all within a certainage range, and the people who lifted
seventy to eighty five percent of theirtotal body weight for even less reps than
anybody who was doing anything else apparentlygain the most benefit from it. So

(13:16):
if you want to be healthy andyour elderly, I hit up your local
gym or maybe even your CrossFit placeand lift the heavy weights with the guys
in the corner, and probably slamthem and scream too, because that's pretty
good. I'm not judging anybody thatlifts heavy. I probably should do it
more than I do. I'm justsaying that I can't really see Graham and
Grandpa in that section of the gymgoing out with everybody else it feels like

(13:39):
it might be more risk than reward. I agree with Annie Oakley who said
quote, I would like to seeevery woman know how to handle guns as
naturally as they know how to handlebabies. Now, I myself regularly concealed
carry nine millimeter. Now that's said. Not every woman is like me,
has had the hours of training thatI've had, or it feels comfortable around
firearms due to years of use,or maybe they're by a gun free zone.

(14:00):
I like to change that what Ican, while encouraging self defense at
the same time. So this iswhere Burna comes in. It's kind of
like a starter weapon. It's theymake a non firearm firearm. I like
the idea of incredible force sending chemicalirritants towards a threat as an additional option
for women, and the Berna SDmodel shoots chemical irritant projectiles sixty eight caliber

(14:22):
rounds that can deter threats in theirtracks up to fifty feet away. I
mean it is hard easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Berna is legal in
all fifty states. There's no backgroundchecks, no permits required, and shipped
directly to your door. Gun freeisn't applicable. To Berna. It's great
for wherever guns are banned. Visitburna dot com slash data for ten percent

(14:43):
off. That's by r Ina dotcom slash Data. By the way,
doctor Anthony Fauci is continuing to doa media tour of his own. There's
a book out. Fauci is quitehappy about whatever. You know what I'll
say about doctor Anthony Fauci, Andyou've probably heard all this before. Outside

(15:07):
of all the making stuff up anddefinitely lying in ways that more and more
we're learning, he absolutely knew whathe was saying was not just a bad
guess but utterly untrue. But howmuch he loves the camera, Fauci wouldn't
be the discussion point he is todayif he didn't choose to be everywhere during

(15:28):
the pandemic. He wouldn't even ifhe had done that in a few of
those press conferences where he stood upwell quote unquote stood up to the former
president and disagreed with him in thatpublic forum. If he didn't go about
it by then trying to be onevery radio station, every television station,
I don't know, in maybe theairport, talking to people as much as
he could, we wouldn't all havestrong opinions about him, and he gets

(15:52):
so upset and he says, it's, you know, the objection to science
itself, to question this man whomade himself the face of COVID willingly and
intentionally and is now all over theplace just before this first debate. But
here's a little bit of what hesaid on the view, talking about Trump,
talking about the CDC, talking abouteverything, and again just go away.

(16:15):
I mean, I would like tosee him get in trouble. I
would like to see Congress continue tohaul him in and ask him questions that
we need answers for. But otherthan that, I don't think he needs
to be out there anymore. Andif he continues to complain that people hate
him or people you know, wantto see bad things happen to him,
you think that his response would beto not be everywhere again and put his

(16:37):
face on every television he can getit on. It's very threatening, I
think, Inepardy, it's in jeopardy. So you dedicate a chapter in the
book to your dealings with Trump.The tramp is called he loves Me?
He loves me Not? And youdescribe some angry, ranting, expletive filled
phone calls where he would be rateyou and flatter you in the same breath.

(17:02):
I'm wondering. You just said youworked with seven other presidents. Did
anyone, any one of them,ever speak to you the way he does
or did no, of course,not even close. Okay, let me
stop it right there first. Noone that he worked for had anything quite
like the pandemic that was shutting downbusinesses everywhere happened, you know, during

(17:22):
that tenure. So what other presidentshave gotten mad at Fauci and some of
the stuff he was saying, especiallyif they had information that demonstrated that Fauci
was providing an opinion and acting asthough it was a medical fact at a
time when medical facts were not possiblein all honesty, Like if you really
talk about it right at the startof the pandemic, anything they told us,

(17:44):
we should have questioned, and alot of people did question simply because
you didn't have enough information. Yet, no matter what you were saying,
no matter how well versed you werein these sort of things, you needed
more time, more data to studyit. And all that data that's come
out has only told us we madea tremendous amount of mistake. But what
other presidents have gotten as mad asTrump did. If he even really did
get that mad during this moment,with this amount of undercutting his message to

(18:08):
the American people, of course theywould have. It's ridiculous to say they
wouldn't. Let's hear a little bitmore from the annoying Fauci. Well,
you know what I meant by itloved me? He loves me not you
know, early on in the beginning, you know, he's he is an
engaging character, A wow, acertain raup pool with each other. I
was trying to figure out what itwas. I think, is that two

(18:29):
guys from New York City? Youknow, he was from Queen's I was
from the Bronx, and we kindof had that you know, New York.
He calls it swagger with each other. That was fine, and all
that was okay. I got tostop it right there too. Actually,
I love how quiet the view goeswhen Fauci says anything nice about Trump,
because mainstream media also likes to takeeverything Trump says as if he means it

(18:49):
one hundred percent seriously. He's tryingto say it the way that boring stiff
non you know Trump people say things, not the way that a guy at
the end of the bar might saysomething, which is how Trump does a
lot of his debates or a lotof his appearances, a lot of his
rallies. So I understand what he'ssaying right there and believe it. But

(19:11):
then he started to crap all overhim publicly, again and again and again,
question his message, tell businesses tostay locked down, tell people to
keep masks on, tell people toget COVID vaccines at times when we probably
needed more information about all that stuff, and then also resoundingly reject although you
claim not to have rejected it now, the idea that Wuhan, the Wuhan

(19:34):
lab is where COVID came from.And Trump said it in a few of
those press conferences, and you gotreal mad about that. That is probably
where the swagger went. That's probablywhy it stopped. But again, I
just thought it was interesting that hewould actually say something like that, and
then his forceful opinion being pressed ona president of the United States is what
caused the disconnect between the two.And then while a whole lot of American

(19:57):
people right out just how many thingshe lilied about. Thanks for tuning in
