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.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Man.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
I just say, I just don't know if there's a
better intro intro than Simple Mind's New Gold Dream.

Speaker 5 (00:19):
I mean, it's such a great intro. Oh love it.
Maybe some love and rocket stuff. I don't know. All right, Uh,
let's see.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Okay, this is I've got to I gotta immediately get
into this.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
This is the steak knives lady.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I gotta take her first. Lady steak knife, that's what
we're calling her. A Florida woman attacks and throws steak
knives at a dude because he left her at a bar.
I feel like I would leave her there too. You know,
she seems the type a Florida woman was taking a jail.
She attacked it with steak knives and a bottle opener
at a Flager County home last week, Dale Dale Lean

(00:56):
die it's d A I L E E N.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Dialeing I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Keller thirty four was arrested on charges of aggravated battery
and domestic battery. So they were called to her house
because she was attacking a dude. She's crying in her mugshot.
She looks really remorseful. The guy said it started. He
left Keller at a bar because he wanted to leave
and she didn't. Then they met up with each other
later that night. She grabbed three steak knives and a
bottle opener and began attacking him. She threw a steak

(01:23):
knife at him as he hid behind a chair, and
when he tried to disarm her, she stabbed him in
the forearm with the bottle opener. Then she threw two
knives at him when he tried to run away, striking
him in the back and in his ear. Sounds like
she's pretty good throwing knives, Like why is she not
doing ax throwing? Like get her to a bar to
do ax throwing, which is where you want to go. Right. Yeah,
she's taken into custody. She's on twelve five hundred dollars bond.

(01:47):
But I'm just saying, can I just go back to
that for him? And I mean, she got him every
time she'd thrown them knives, and she don't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
I'm a big cart.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
He may have been a big target.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
It's kind of like she was a knee breed and
she's still hitting the mark. That's all I'm saying. Like
if I was picking somebody for my ex throwing team,
you know, or darts, I'd be like, she's with me.
I'm just saying, no, she can't be right now because
she's literally in jail.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
But you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
A let's see, two Florida men were arrested for catching
a baby gator and then they kept it in a
cooler to eat. That's I'm actually sad for a gator.
Can't even believe this. This is in Tallahassee. They're all
the way up in Tallahassee. The gators.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Oh, they've been accused of.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Eating a baby gator in Lake Talquin and keeping it
alive in a cooler to eat later at home.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
That is so mean. They got charged because they took
a gator without.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
A license, and they accused each other of wanting to
eat the gator.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
But they're in trouble. I kind of feel bad for
that little gater. Little Gater, it's my new rat name.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Like sands through the.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
All Glass, so are the days of the United States.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Roger in Kansas on the line for Democrats.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Good morning, Roger. She's so awkward.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yes, I have, We're my main issue. I'm going to
close my eyes and then I'm going to vote for
closed borders. I'm going to vote for less taxes. I'm
going to vote for more reasonable energy costs. And if

(04:29):
you vote, close your eyes and vote that way. It's
a pretty simple choice because both candidates have a history,
so you just vote on that and I don't have
to tell you who I'm voting for.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, she just looked confused there, She's like, wait a minute,
where's this going? When I was actually confused right first
that I'm going to close my eyes and I'm like,
oh boy, what are we going?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Where we're going? That?

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I mean that there are a lot of people who
feel that way, and there are a lot of people
more so than are There are more people like this
than there are people who are supremely devoted to one
candidate or the other, and.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
To an extent, neither party understands that.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
To be honest with you, Democrats don't get it, and
a lot of Republicans don't get it. That's why you know,
people are telling Republicans talk about these issues. When you
talk about these issues mean you're winning people over right
and left. When you're sticking to the hits, when you're
sticking to what you want to do to counter the
deluge at the border, when you're sticking to what you're

(05:35):
going to do to defeat inflation, when you're sticking to
making tax cuts permanent, when you're sticking to do you
like your healthcare you can actually keep it instead of
trying to Because that's.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
One of the other things we're going to talk about.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Kamala Harris wants to just eliminate all private plans entirely.
I mean, I don't know if you've all been on
government care, but it's horrible. It is really bad. It's
like might as well does not have it.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
It's so bad.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
And you do lose your doctors because I've lost three
of them thanks to Obamacare.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
So great.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
So when people sit here and tell me that doesn't
have it, that my truth is no, that's the truth.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
So that's the other thing you got to consider.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
People don't want to pay arm in a leg for
health insurance for their families and then be denied access
to specialists and the doctors that they've don't go into
their whole life. They don't want to have to pay more.
Those are the issues that you hit, that's the stuff
that you talk about. And Democrats aren't doing that, as
we can see, and that's one of the reasons why

(06:33):
they are struggling with a lot of independence.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
But you still have this narrative of.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I think people are believe that either side is wholly
completely tribal and partisan too one candidate or the other,
and it's not like that. And people are overlooking that huge,
huge demographic of people right in the middle who are
kind of looking to the right and left and they're not.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Happy with either choice.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
But when you talk to them about the issues, they're
like this guy, oh yeah, yeah, of course I want
all these things.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Then that's why I think it's Republicans need to make
it less about names and more about issues. Let the
issues be the names, right, Let let reducing and eliminating
illegal immigration be the name. Let lower taxes be the name.
That's that's what you need to do. That's what they

(07:32):
how they have to do this. I mean, while democrats,
what are democrats talking? I mean, I literally don't even
know what are there. They've got Joe Biden's stuff, and
then she's what is she going to actually debate Ano.
They're got a VP debate coming up next week and
we'll see, we'll see how that works. Coming up, we've
got the latest Israel in Lebanon going after Hesbelah and

(07:55):
I don't know, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
They Finally, I think you're gonna You're gonna.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Have to they need to completely just exclude the United
States from the process of decision making on that were
influence on that.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Also, I've got some pull in for you.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
There's measures on favorability, on momentum, and we got to
talk about voter canvassing. Republicans have been behind the ball
on voter canvassing and are still behind the ball on it.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
That is a huge problem.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
And if anybody watched the results coming in in twenty twelve,
as I did live that night and then having to
go on television, it is I'm terrified that we're going
to have a repeat of that and this. You don't
think that canvassing and getting these voters out is important.
This is what gets Republicans every time. So we have
to talk about this and then we're also going to

(08:45):
get Gena. Jackson made a claim about Kamala Harris and
the Left lost their minds this weekend, so she kind
of walked it back.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Sort of. It's Celtech.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
The P fifteen is the smallest, thinnest double stack nine
millimeter on the market, and you should definitely check it
out if you haven't. Have two versions, the metal version
and the polymer version. And the metal version it's beautiful,
has these walnut panels on it.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
The polymer version's got that gator grip texture.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's it is a really awesome super concealable firearm. It
is literally the lightest one that I have lightis athenists
that I have. That's nine millimeters. You're not losing any
stopping power you have. Ultra concealability. Comes with two magazines.
One is the standard fifteen round with minimal pinky extension.
The other's a flush fit double stack mag that holds

(09:29):
twelve striker fire reliability, great trigger pull, and lifetime warranty
from the inventors of the microcompact pistol category. It's kel

It's the P fifteen. Tell them Dana send you.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
So apparently there's incidents of GPS spoofing. It used to
happen for you know, quite a bit. Now it's like
a four hundred percent increase. According to OPS Group report,
GPS spoofing occurs when fake radio signals are used to
interfere and override it legitimate when it's a cyber attack.
And now there's a lot of discussion as to whether

(10:13):
or not foreign entities, hostile entities could use this as
a way of cyber attacks against the United States. So
have fun on your flights. Think about that the next
time you're flying. No, no, no fear, no no worries.
Let's see cards against Humanity suites SpaceX and an allege's
invasion of land on the US Mexico border.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Cards against Humanity. This is okay.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
They sued SpaceX, saying that Musk's firm illegally took over
a plot of land on the US Mexico border that
the party game company bought in twenty seventeen. They were
trying to stop what they said, was Trump's attempt to
build the wall. I've never played this game. Now, I've
never played Cards against because it sounds stupid and I've
never played it. If I wanted to play a game,
I'm going to play a game like risk or Monopoly

(11:00):
where I can shake everybody down or take over all
your lamp. So this is this is true. I didn't
know that Cards against Humanity were a bunch of but
heart progressives, as you know that. So you're putting money
in the pocket of Marxists. But they bought this land
as a way to stop Trump's attempt to build a wall. Well,
I mean I would then I would just out of
spite even though I don't believe in him in a

(11:21):
domain and but the left does, I would exploit that,
and then I would take it and use that to
take their lamp.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Let's see here.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Metabolism and diet, they say are linked to the root
of bipolar depression. This also seems like kind of a issue.
Scientists in Edinburgh say that they have studied the link
between healthy diets and the prevalence of bipolar depression, and
they've looked at like hundreds of thousands of people or

(11:48):
a pretty wide reaching study was done by the Vezuki
Foundation and the UK Research and Innovation an Agency, and
so they're looking at the relationship between that and other metabolic.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Just so very interesting.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Emmanuel McCrone, who is He's the French Marxist with the
hot for teacher wife his remember he married his teacher.
He unveiled a new right wing French government. Remember they
the Marxist over in France lost in the last election,
so they had to snap a general election delivered a
hung parliament. Now they have a new line up, their

(12:21):
Prime Minister, Michel Barnier. It's a huge shift to the right.
Even though they did have a lot of the parliamentary seats,
there were some seats that were kept or won by
the left wing alliance. They have a lot more centrist
in people on the right, so it's a fractured parliament.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
It'll be very interesting to see what they do.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Trump says that if he doesn't win in twenty twenty four,
he's not going to run again in twenty twenty eight,
that will be it. And I think that that's the
right choice to make. I mean, regardless, I mean he's
turned out. Even if he run, we're going to have
to have another big giant election in twenty eight because
he's turned out. But if he doesn't win, he says
he's not going to run again, and I think it
would be crazy at this point to do it. Oh,
this is interesting. This guy, that Anchorage man who was

(12:59):
a rested for making threats against the Supreme Court justices.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
He's been released.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yeah, the after twenty two crimes and hundreds of messages,
he's been released, according to the DJ. More on that
coming up.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Senator, you had stood firmly behind Israel, But do you
agree with any part of what your colleague, Senator Sanders
said there.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
No, not at all, And I want to be very clear.
I thought what Israel chose to do about blowing up
the pagers and then walkie talkies and then after targeting
and eliminating membership and leadership of Hezbolah, I absolutely support that.
In in fact, if anything, I love it. And Israel

(13:46):
demonstrated that they will not allow terrorists not to be
held accountable, and I fully support that. And it's not
about nothing that has what my colleague has said.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
Yeah, so he's he's got a hoodie pass. See. I
like that. Why can't all Democrats sound like that. Why
why is he got to be the only one that
makes sense on this?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
You know, I kind of want to intervene here and
tie just a small knot in each of the strings
on the side of his hoodie because I noticed on
that hoodie it wasn't knotted and so when he washes it,
that string's going to disappear, and it's going to be
just annoying to get that out as like as a kindness,
you know, for just talking sense, I'd like to, you know,
I just got to intervene real quick, like, you know,
make sure you put it on a strings so it

(14:28):
doesn't disappear beside your hoodie, Like, ma, sure, so he's
got the hoodie pass on that he's like, In fact,
I think I love it. You knew that they were
just that you couldn't see the anchors faces or the
producers saying, but you knew that they were just going,
oh when he said that, you knew it.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
You knew it.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
They were just shocked that he said it.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I mean cut twenty was another moment he had with
the same interviewer, which I thought was pretty.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
And twenty two, yeah, I know that one.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I was gonna see, Okay, do twenty do twenty, then
that you have Fetterman as your today's stupidity.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I do only because he doubled out after doing what
we're about to play.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Now, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I know you've talked about this quite a bit. Vice
President Harris, as you know, once supported a ban on
fracking when she was running for president in twenty twenty.
She even sued the Obama administration to prevent fracking off
California's coast. Now she says she will not ban the
practice as president. Why should voters trust that that is

(15:30):
really what the vice president believes?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
So strange?

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Why we just keep talking about fracking now? Back in
twenty twenty, I said that that might be an issue,
but it's not going to be a defining issue. And
now in twenty twenty four, we're still trying to talk
about fracking. And now the other side they're talking about
eating cats and geese and dogs and saying absurd things
and talking about how if Trump doesn't win, he said that,

(15:55):
you know, you have to blame the Jews on that
and just absurd things. Now, like having a series policy conversation.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
When going now, okay, so he started off so good,
and he just doesn't want to be He does not
want to have to be pitted against Kamala Harrison talking
about the fracking thing, because that's a big that's a problem.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
That's a problem for her. She has that record. That
is a problem for her.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
We can play twenty two if you want. I still
have so much stupidity.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I can't believe I can I just say that he
gets the hoodie pass to at least because he was
talking right about the Hamas stuff.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Okay, I'm sorry, makes me sad. It's a go ahead,
God good nineteen No.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Questions for Senator Lindsey Graham.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
But to the point, what do you now like about fracking?
You say you're not going to ban it, you support it.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Now they're eating dogs, they're eating catsy.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
You know again?

Speaker 6 (16:53):
So okay, yes, and anymore unfracking.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well, I want to ask you about the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Actually, let's move cool.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Wait and he goes any more on franking. She's like, well,
I want to ask you about the Middle at the PAMA.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
I mean, I guess that's one way to avoid being
pitted against the top of the ticket on your party,
you know, I mean, I'll give him credit. I think
he's playing dumb right there, So I'm not going to
be totally ignorant to him because he's in a rock
and a hard place and Democrats have been kind of
mean to him because he hates terrorists and they just
they like terrorists. So I don't know, uh, but that's

(17:26):
pretty wild, all right, folks. That does it for us today.
