Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
What is the word Elon Musk impersonator? Those phrase? Was
that phrase? Stay to you because this Florida man, I
don't even know how this happens. This guy, he pretended
that he was Elon Musk so he could scam a
seventy four year old woman out of more than two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A Florida official so they
arrested this guy. He was pretending to be and this

(00:38):
was just a couple of days ago. He was pretending
to be Elon Musk. His name is Jeffrey Arthur moynihan.
He scammed a Texas woman out of a quarter of
a million dollars, although officials think it was probably more.
He was impersonating Musk on Facebook when this woman befriended him.
They exchanged messages for several months and he told the

(00:59):
woman to invest in his businesses, promising her a fifty
five million dollar return. So all the financial records show
that she transferred all this money over to his accounts
and him and his business called Jeff's painting and pressure washing,
and then the woman's husband said that beyond that, the
woman's husband said she transferred six hundred thousand dollars to

(01:21):
this pretend Elon Musk and he was finally arrested at
his home. He's going to be investigated further. No, never
ever do anything like that. Never give your money to
anybody like this. That's crazy. A guy pretending to be
Elon Musk. I just can't. I don't even know. Oh
my gosh, oh Kane, this one is crazy. The b

(01:43):
thing a Florida man survived to kill her be attack
well trimming trees. He said the pain was excruciating. He's
a Brevard County guy. He was trimming trees and when
apparently thousands of these bees came in. He owns a
land service travel across the state for his job. He
was stung over one hundred and twenty times. He's also
allergic to it. And he was on a crane and

(02:04):
he so he got stung over one hundred and twenty times.
He's allergic to bees. He was on a crane and
he fell thirty feet to the ground when they started stinging,
and he had to be hospitalized. He still has swollen wells.
He was pulling out stingers from all over his body.
He said the pain was excruciating. And apparently he was

(02:24):
trimming trees and it hit the hive and that's what happened.
So wow, that's just wild. They had to pick him
up carry him the car. It was pretty bad, but
he said the swelling's gone. He just has little red
marks everywhere. And uh, yeah, you don't want to make
the bees the peas man. That's a bad thing. Also
this story, dude this and pulled this up. Former Saint

(02:51):
Pete council member was accused of hiding cameras in an
airvant to watch a woman shower. Sixty four year old
Jeffrey Danner not Dahmer Danner, very very close was taken
into custody for a one kind of digital voyeurism. The
woman said she was okay. She was in the shower
at his house. They known each other beforehand and she

(03:13):
was temporarily staying with him, and she said that she
noticed something when she was in the shower at his
at his residence, and there were these cameras in an
air vent. One of them pointed directly towards the shower,
and she took pictures of them show police's evidence. She
showed a text conversation in which she confronted him over
the cameras, and he responded to her with a text

(03:36):
message claiming that he never connected them after realizing how
stupid and perverted it was. And so he used to
be on the city council, and so he was booked
in jail without bond. So wait a minute, I'm not
excusing anything. But it was in his house, right in
his bathroom, and she was staying there. Okay, I'm just wondering.

(04:03):
I'm not saying that he should have, but where does
one draw the line? What if you have guests over
and say that you have safety cameras like you know,
you have cameras like ring cameras, you have cameras on
your door, you have cameras like in your kitchen, or
cameras on your your entrances and exits. Does that qualify

(04:25):
what I mean? I don't know. I'm just I don't know,
which is why I'm literally posing the question. I think
it's I it's a little weird, it's in his house.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's fair.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I could have taken one look at this guy and
told you he's a pervert, don't shower in his bathroom.
I could, I could have saved you the problem.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
That's a horrible perverted thing to do. Yeah, whether it's
in your house service it is.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's horrible. But at the same time, I'm like, should
the government tell you what you can put in your
own bathroom? Vent? They should see where how awkward does
the I don't know. It's a tough thing, all right. Also,
a Florida man with a suspended license stole an suv
because he needed to go talk to Donald Trump. It

(05:10):
was a very important conversation, Sarah Soda man. He was
totally arrested. Bail said at twenty thousand dollars. Yeah, he
stole the car. It's almost the price of the car
that he stole. Actually, the P fifteen that stands for
fifteen pews standard capacity and it ships with two magazines,
once the fifteen round minimal pinky extension. The other's flush
fit double stack that holds twelve. Now there's two versions.

(05:32):
There's the muddle frame and you have the wood panel
texture grip. It's really gorgeous. It's a walnut wood. And
then you have the polymer version with the gator grip texture. Really,
I mean both are great. I have both. I love them.
Tritium fiber optic front sight fully adjustable fiber optic, two
dot rear, Striker Fire reliability, great trigger pool. I mean
it literally just is with the thinnest lightest nine millimeter

(05:55):
you know, Striker fire, your concealed carry that you can get,
and I mean it's lighter and thinner than you know,
the other stuff that I have. I have a forty
three X and this just just makes that look bulky
and you don't lose you don't lose stopping power, you
don't lose concealability. It's just great engineering and innovation from
keel Tech Innovation Performance in cel Tech, the inventors of

(06:17):
the microcompact pistol category. Learn more about the P fifteen
by visiting kell Tech weapons dot com. It's k E
l t e C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana
sent you. I find that interesting, which makes me wonder
about that ethics report, and I really don't care to

(06:37):
dive into it anymore, but I just think that it
had to do with keeping the ethics report from being
made public that I don't know. I keep hearing from
people that there's a lot more in there than you know,
and the scope of it's pretty crazy and all that.
I don't know. What I do know is that it
does kind of look like he doesn't want to come
out if he's not even going to resume or take

(06:59):
his seat. That he one fair and square in an
election for the one hundred and nineteenth. So I don't
know he because then you know why, that puts him
back under the purview of the House Ethics Committee, and
then that report becomes German again, and then you know
it's it can be released and they would have to
they would have to discuss it. So I don't know

(07:20):
if that would they would open him up for censure
depending on what's in it or what's who knows. But
his wife had said yesterday that it was the end
of an era, and then he apparently made mention to
the press today that he's not going to take his
seat in the one hundred and nineteenth. So it kind
of seems like it's about avoiding that Ethics Committee report,

(07:41):
I mean, just looking at it on its face, because
being in the House, even if he were and I
was talking to somebody about this the other day or yesterday,
even if he were to take you know, which is
never going to happen. If he was appointed at the Senate,
then the Senate they give Stune and Schumer who want
that ethics report, that gives them justification to get it,

(08:02):
and then it would so either way it would come out.
So he can't he would have to stay out of
Congress for it to not be made public. And maybe
that's maybe that's the issue. I don't know, I'm just saying,
I mean, it's you know, not like I do find
it interesting the accusations against Pete Hegseth, which seem very new,
and Kavanaugh ESK. I don't think that there's any shred

(08:24):
of truth in those. I really don't, just because of
the timing, and it just follows that same old formula.
The Gates thing predates this by years, so it's not
as easily explained away the Gates thing. But that said,
I saw that the left was saying, can you believe
that these people have sexual accusations against them and that
Trump is actually considering them for these cabinet positions and

(08:46):
all this stuff. Really Democrats are saying that, hey, King,
where is the place that name a place that Teddy Kennedy.
He parked his car, uh near a lake, near a

(09:06):
lake in a lake? Was there a woman in it?
There was leaving a woman to drown to death in
a car. Seems kind of serious. No, yeah, what about
that time guy who was president of the United States

(09:26):
is grabbing women and had to settle out of court
with him before it came out that he had enjoyed
some inappropriate, uh romantical times under the desk.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
It depends on what is that's.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Right, It depends what your definition of is is. Yeah,
that's a very good point, pil Clinton. Yeah, very good point.
I'm just saying, Or what about al Gore? Y'all remember
that this is so gross. Remember the story about al Gore.
He was going up getting him felf a mess af
al Gore was getting a massage and he asked them

(10:04):
athooth if they would relase his inner chakra. Whoo, Yeah that's.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
What that was.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
H ooh so gross. He's so nasty. Ooh. So I'm
just saying, I don't want to hear any of these
sexual deviants speak up or make a peep. I'm not
even gonna get into John Edwards. I mean that guy
fleeced an elderly heiress to pay for his baby mama

(10:35):
and then try to make his staff member take a
responsibility and claim that the baby was his. You know
what that did to his wife, his own marriage. That's horrible.
It was really hard on the guy's marriage. It's one
of the reasons why the guy actually blew the whistle
on John Edwards. That was their golden boy. So I
ain't going to hear it from these sexual devians.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I mean, Democrats literally screwed in the Cenate Chamber. They
made a porn video in the Cina Chamber, gay porn.
I'm not gonna hear from you people. You did you
had a topless training on the White House lawn for Easter.
Not gonna hear from you people.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
No two separate cocaine discoveries.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh my gosh, I'm not even gonna get into the
cocaine in the White House. I mean, let's be real here, folks.
I'm not going to hear from these sexual devians. So
the party that drowned a lady in a lake, the
party that got some romantical times from under the executive
desk after having settled with women that he was accused

(11:39):
of sexual harassing the party. Yeah, the party that did
the Secretary sandwich, the party that wanted a messuse to
release their inner chakra, the party that filmed gay porn
in the Cenate Chamber, the party that had the topless
training on the up for Easter on the White House lawn.
Y'all don't get to talk smack, especially when it's made

(12:03):
up accusations about like nominees like Pete hug Seth. You guys,
sit down, sit down. I mean, at some point I
would like settle for a regular old cat call compared
to what these freaks have done. I mean, what about
the dude who was stealing all the lady's luggage and
he dressed up in plether when he wasn't rolling around
in a furry pile? What about that? I mean it

(12:24):
makes you want some good old fashioned cat calling after that, right,
like got Lee? Yeah, take us back to when you know,
woo you had that instead of you know, the bald
guy stealing everyone's luggage as he's like fetishizing himself in
plether and furries. I just can't nick, oh no, thank you.

(12:46):
So yeah, they don't get to they don't get to
to pass judgment on any of that stuff. You had.
This the guy who I can't believe Adam Kinzinger has taken.
I just want to make fun of him. I'm not
gonna lie. Let's just make fun of Adam Kinsinger. It's
audio some bite nine.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to be like
way more intense because if you think about it again, yes,
heg Seth was not charged with that. He also wasn't exonerated,
as you mentioned, But the military's had an issue with
sexual assault that they've been trying to address for a
number of years. And now you're putting a guy that's
potentially guilty of that in charge of the Pentagon, And
so I think the hearings are going to be pretty

(13:21):
brutal for him.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Are they going to be as brutal as shooting a
reporter at your stupid campaign range day for the loser
senate candidate that you were pushing. Remember that guy you
guys shot. How's he doing? Hey? That range that's operated
by a prohibited possessor? What about that one? Yeah? I
don't know, he's Where does Adam Kinsinger go when Trump's

(13:46):
out of office? What happens to those people? They got
to find somebody new to hate. What is he going
to do? Think about it, guys, his job security runs
out when Trump leaves office in four years. What is
he going to do? What is he gonna do? He's
got to hurry up and recruit someone else to hate
to bits. I mean, they're not gonna like him if

(14:08):
he if he likes somebody, they only want him there
because he's a troll. And he's a real bad one too,
like when you accidentally troll yourself. That's not how that works,
not supposed to work that way. I'm just saying, oh man,
So speaking of uh, I'm gonna just get some of
this audio. And because we get some, we get some

(14:28):
good stuff. We have audio sound bite eight General Mark
Milly talking about the ladies in the combat. Go ahead,
this is audio sound bite.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Ah, please don't dutch me about women in combat. Women
have been in combat. And it doesn't matter if that's
seven six two hits you in the chest, no one gets.
If it's a woman or a guy who pulled that trick,
you're still dead. So if you meet the standards, our
military must be and always should be, a standards based

(14:56):
merit base.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, do sit here in a lecture me with your
gas lighting, b us, because we're not talking about merit
or standard base. We're literally talking about the ingratiation of
women at all levels, including like on the ground strike teams,
like hand to hand combat style. That's what the issue is.
He was very careful with his word choices. So I
do take exception to someone who decorates themselves with all
these medals and gets up there and tries to do

(15:18):
this appeal to authority by acting like you have no
right to question any of this, But they do because
this is what I did, and you don't get to
lecture me. But like, hell, we don't get to lecture
you the fact that I pay a crap ton in taxes,
I get to lecture you all day long, sweet cheeks,
all day long. And if you don't like it, then
I suggest you go find another line of work. That's

(15:39):
how this works here. You know, you don't just get
to like to make these eaticts and then we all
got to live with it. And furthermore, he was quite
careful with his speech. It is really hard to expect
the American people to take seriously any form of authority
when that form of authority constantly lies to them constantly
misrepresents things, tries to offfu skate completely just omits facts

(16:02):
so that they can better suit their narrative. Hexth was
very careful in what he said. I don't care if
you like him or not. That's irrelevant if you're not
open minded enough to realize that he was talking about. Yeah,
I'm fine with women and women pilots flying with this,
but he's talking about what we're all talking about, the
basic sense combat as we know it, right, like the
bare basic combat of what we know. That's exactly what

(16:24):
he's talking about. And there are a lot of female veterans,
many of whom are my friends. Some of them are
very good friends. Some of them are in my family
that feel the same way, and they totally get what
Hexth was talking about. But of course, you know, you
got the DEI guy up there on the stage saying, no,
there's not what I was talking about when I was
talking to No, you don't lecture me, lecture you lunchbox,

(16:45):
especially when you're misrepresenting it. This is misrepresentation. And then
you wonder why the American people don't trust positions of authority,
why we don't trust government agencies, because you've got these
people and the upper echelon telling you that what you
heard you didn't here and here's in fact what he said.
Well what he said. And if you don't know, guess what.
We have this amazing thing called the internet. You can

(17:06):
go and listen to him talk about it. He's talked
about it six ways to Sunday. I don't know why
he's got to keep repeating it. Well he does because
these people keep lying about it. They keep lying about it,
so they're trying to claim that he was No, he
was talking about all women, not just in combat. They're
trying to make it out like all women serving. And

(17:27):
he's very specific. Words have meaning. He was very specific,
and they're pretending that he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
And now all of the news you would probably miss
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
So this was like a crazy case. This is the
Connor McGregor case. So apparently they found him guilty of
a woman who said that she was brutally raped and
battered in her Dublin hotel penthouse. She got two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. She was awarded by a civil
court in Ireland. To day. She said it was a

(18:01):
December ninth, twenty eighteen. Assault. It left her heavily bruised.
He shook his head. It was a dry eight women
and four men. They returned the verdict after deliberating for
six hours, and he testified that he never forced her
to do anything. I mean, basically he was saying that
he just cheated on his wife, you know, which is
just horrible. But he and she was with him. He

(18:21):
was with him at court. But yeah, they found him
guilty and he's in the civil case and so which
is so he's there demanding that he pays up. That's
according to the Associated Press. Elon Musk's Neurallink has been
greenlit for its first brain ship trial outside of the
United States. And it's this brain computer interface startup. It's

(18:45):
already received approval from Health Canada to begin a recruitment
for its first clinical trial in the country. And we'll see.
But's it's a big they said. It's a significant milestone
in the quest to develop technology that enables individuals with
paralysis to control external devices using only their thoughts, which

(19:06):
is wild. That's crazy. Also, Christmas Tree shortage eighty thousand
are apparently destroyed by floods and the industry is not
going to recover for about fifteen years. They're assuming that's
I mean, goodness, it's Hurricane Helene. It tore through a
North Carolina farm in September, uprooted eighty thousand trees, ruined
a famili's legacy, and apparently other farms are suffering similar catastrophes.

(19:31):
And they said they're going to have to strip everything back,
take it down to the dirt, and start all over.
They said, it's millions of dollars in many years. It's
just awful. And again, that's just one of many, many
of these tree farms around the Appalachian region where that
was really hardest hit by the hurricane and all the
fallout from it. But gosh, they said that, you know,

(19:52):
some of the trees are rotted at their cores now
because of the flooding and all of that. It's just
so it's gonna trees are going to be expensive. A
mysterious orb zoom past New York City actually was excellentally
caught on film by a local news chopper. I'm just
gonna say, it looks like aliens. It's right, what do
you think it is? Could it be a glare in

(20:12):
the Glass, Probably not. I think it's gonna be the
most ridiculous explanations, usually a truthful one. I'm just saying
it might be. Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain,
says she's never coming back to the United States. Want
nobody cares. And Brazil's this is wild. Brazil's former president
Bolsonaro and his aides have been indicted for an alleged

(20:34):
twenty twenty two coup attempt. Now he was banned last
year from running for office for eight years. Do you
hear about the story about this ballet dancer and a
very very vocal critic of Putin. He just happened to
fall out of a building Kane, Absolutely, yeah. A renowned
Russian ballet star, Vladimir shook hil Yahov.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Sounds right right?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
He thirty nine years old. He just happened to fall
out of a fifth story building in Saint Petersburg. Wow,
he was a Shikhlaarov was a vocal Yeah, that's right.
Schikhlyarov has to be shkl sure. Yeah, a vocal advocate
for ending the war against Ukraine since its initial invasion

(21:22):
in twenty two. And I'm sure he just pure wetted, right,
out of the window by accident. Right, he just fourtaied
foytaid right out of the window by accident. Right.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
I'm kind of building codes that keep like fifth story
windows secure or something on the outside that would prevent
like a full human body falling five stories.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah. The Russian state media outlet Novosti reported that authorities
had been investigating, you know, his his death. They looked
into Schgilov's death, but the initial findings Suggesteduccha was totally accidental. Yeah,
big big critic of Putin over there, he was, Yeah,
a big critic of the uh war in Ukraine, big

(22:07):
critic of all of it.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Have you, like, even on a first floor window, have
you ever accidentally fallen out of a window?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
In your life, just like by accident.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, never. But you know what, there's an ailment that's
going around with the people. It's just very coincidental, Kane.
A lot of the people who have been critical of Putin,
they've they've gone through some untimely things, right, yeah, coincidental. Yeah,
they've gone through some untimely, untimely stuff. They've had some
they've had some issues, So I don't know, you know,

(22:40):
he was a top ranking dancer at the Marininski Theater
Marinski Theater and uh thirty nine years old, like in
a kind of a you know, towards the end of
his prime. There is the dancer. When you're in ballet,
you're old. If you're if you're literally in your mid thirties,
you're an old, ancient dancer at that point, I did
ballet for eighteen years. Like, it's not where you really

(23:00):
go to make a ton of money. It's just not.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I just look back because I've been around, you know,
windows my whole life.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Kane is obsessed with you're right kne.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And I'm sure you have too, probably there you can't.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I've seen a lot of windows in my day.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I think every pretty much every day of my life,
I'm around windows. I have never fallen out of one
of my fifty two years have fallen accidentally out of
a well.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Well, Like what if you know this guy, he was
in ballet, So what if you're you know, you're doing
some uh purouettes, we're doing some English moves. Yeah, you're
where you do the little turns on one leg.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Hell, you're talking, you're a little.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Puroreet where you put one your toe behind your knee
and then you you turn on one foot.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's at I don't know about any of that stuff. Yeah,
like I jumped on furniture as a kid, stuff like that,
I mean near windows.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
What if you accidentally were performing a series of ballet
movements and you.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Just that sounds like those are a lot of ornated
movements that seem pretty controlled. I was a kid throwing
myself onto furniture and off of furniture all.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
The time, windows constantly, You didn't not once? Interesting? Yea? Interesting?
How that is is the Uh maybe the windows are
different over there? Are they in the floor? It makes sense, right,
Maybe they are, I don't know. So apparently they said

(24:19):
the Chugorov went out to the balcony to get some
air before uh he lost his balance. I guess it
was a little balk It sounds like a fire escape.
One would maybe call that. I don't know, but uh, yeah,
interesting how that happens, right.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Very the ballet dancer lost what balance?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
He lost his balance out there? Yeah, the ballet dancer,
a star dancer.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Of all the people to have balance in the world,
you would think it would be Balan.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
The ballet, Yeah, you would think so, but this is Russia.
You know, I think there. Maybe it's off the axis,
a little bit over there. I don't know, maybe contributed
to it. I'm sure there's a completely reasonable explanation, right.
