Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right, so first up, there's a couple here.

One of them's sad. I don't really want to do it because it's a sad one. This, though, there's a Florida man who was naked and mud cupboard and he vandalized a van and he was arrested. Yeah, it's not the, I mean, in the middle of the table.

day, a 35-year-old named Said Khan, told deputies that he was following the sun under guidance from a higher power. And he was arrested because he was vandalizing a work van and trespassing on private property while being completely covered in mud and totally nude. He emerged from a barn. It was like way out, looks like it's in the middle of a swamp on the map. 31 years old, they had a blur him out on all the body cam footage that they released, but he literally came out of a barn. and they took him into custody and of course they were also checking him to see if he was on

any kind of mind-altering substances which to be quite honest it kind of seems like he was a Broward Florida man and a gas station clerk got into a fight over the price of beer and it ended up with one being shot at a convene I mean there's better ways to solve dispute

the Broward Sheriff's Office said that it was at a Valero and 46-year-old Abdullah Monther got into an argument with the customer over the price of beer. The customer was, he threw an unknown object of Monther and the clerk took out a gun from under the counter and shot the man in the right calf muscle.

It showed him, it showed him take his pistol out. He called the wounded customer something I can't say and then he proceeded to follow him around with it. Now at that point, look, you've got to be careful in those instances, even in Florida, the moment that you become the aggressor and that you have the total power, you're going to have a prosecutor come after you and argue that you are the antagonist in that situation and therefore you're not using it in self-defense that you actually are the agitator and then they're going

to charge you. So this guy, because he was following this guy around, he, that's exactly what happened. So he was being charged. He's not, I think he bonded out though. They didn't say what his bond was, but he was able, he apparently bonded out. A Florida man, got busted with a stolen car while he was literally pumping gas. He was putting gas in the stolen car? Yeah. I mean, it's nice of him, I guess. He's going to return it.

Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. They were tracking it after getting an alert. And then they tracked it, found the guy, literally found the guy just at a shell gas station. He stopped really close to where he stole the vehicle. And then they even got aerial footage of it. And he was standing outside filling it with gas. And they were able to quickly, immediately take him into custody and recover the vehicle, which is something that never, doesn't really happen.

happen when you get your car stolen, right? Like it's that it very rarely happens that you get it back or you get it back to where it's not completely trashed and destroyed. So that was the good news for that guy. Let's see here. We also have this individual. Wait, where's this at? I almost lost it. This 74-year-old Florida man, he fought firefighters with a shotgun because he was trying to steal their fire truck. Of course, that was a bad choice that he made. This is why Kane doesn't like old people. 74-year-old Floridaian man. He went on a rampage.

He chased paramedics with a shotgun, punched firefighters, and then tried to steal the fire truck. How old is he? 74. Good God. He's from Ridge Manor, and police had to call for backup, and then they had to get medical in.

The 74-year-old, he fell once, but when he fell for the last time, he couldn't get up because he was super drunk. And then as he was trying to get up, they were trying to help him, and then he got very combative, and he was chasing them out of his house, and he hit one firefighter with his shotgun. He just, like he used it as a melee weapon.

And then he ran to the fire truck, climbed inside, and a first responder was still in the passenger seat. As the dude tried to drive away, they pulled up as the truck was pulling out, and they intervened. The deputies had to climb literally on the moving fire truck and pulled the man out. And then as they were doing that, he started punching cops. How do you go from being so drunk that you can't get up to I'm climbing in a fire truck and I'm punching out cops as they try to get me out? And you're 74. How do you go from like being so drunk you can't get up to that? I don't understand that psychology here.

We have Keltec, the PR 57. It's one of the new ones that Keltec came out with at the start of the year, the PR 57, which is a rotary barrel pistol chambered in 57 available now. And you can go to your FFL, order it online, have it shipped your FFL. made in the USA from a Florida-based company. And with the PR 57, they achieve the smaller stature in a number of different ways, not only with the rotary barrel, but also the unique top-loading design, which uses stripper clips instead of, you know, traditional magazines. So if a leftist talks about clips instead of the magazine in this case, they're going to be accurate.

And has an MSRP of only $399, so it's, super affordable for everyone. Quickest and easiest field strip available, low recoil for ease of use and accuracy. It's very similar to my G-43X in terms of lightness and all of that. And so if you like 5-7, this is an interesting option for you. But it's made in America from Keltec. You can learn more at Keltecweapons.com. K-E-L-T-E-C Weapons.com. Innovation Performance, KeltecWeapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program. I'm trolling.

I got a screenshot of the ambiguously gay duo and a screenshot of that The Human Torch writing the thing on Fantastic Four, and I just tweeted it out because it's literally the same thing. Anyway, hi. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. So POTUS, he's in the Netherlands.

He's in... Kane. He's in Greta Thunberg's home country. He is. It's Greta Thunberg. She's from the Netherlands. She tried to... into Gaza. But,

Audio Sondi 4, NATO chief called him daddy. Wait, actually, do we do 4 or 5 first? No, do 5 first, and then we'll follow it up with 4. We've got to do this in order. Audio Sondi 1st. I mean, we may do papers on it, Marco,

maybe we're going to do papers. I don't even know if you need them. They're not going to be fighting each other. They've had it. They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes.

then it's easier to stop them. And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language. You have to use a certain word. I think we have to join the house. So he did kind of call him Daddy there, Audio Sundbite 4. Trump noticed that immediately. Listen.

Mark Ritter, the NATO chief, who is your friend. He called you Daddy earlier. Do you regard your NATO allies? as kind of children. No, he likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back and I'll hit him hard, okay?

He did. He did it very affectionate. Daddy, you're my daddy. I really want, can we just save this for forever? That's pretty funny. He called me Daddy. Hey, there's your daddy. There you go right there.

You're my daddy. That's not what he said. It's not. I mean, you can go with it. You know, it'd be. And I was reading, somebody was noting his one-liners today. Yeah, that's my daddy, called me daddy, heads chopped off all over Africa. Did you get that one?

I think you're listening to it. We do have that. Yeah, can we? Let me just play this real quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's right. No, it isn't playing. Oh, it's not play because it doesn't want to play.

Hold on. It hates you. We have coming in. The Congo is coming in and Rwanda is coming in. that was a vicious war that went on, a machete war, heads chopped off all over Africa. They're coming in. We did two others in addition to that. Nobody's ever done anything like this. No, I consider him a person that's... Heads chopped off all over Africa. Well, I mean, all over. I'm not, I actually like it. I just think it's funny the way he just says it so directly,

because you immediately, there's no dancing around the issue. They just immediately have to go, Wait, what? What? Wait, what? Yes, that's what he said. That's what he said. You're my, oh, I'm totally saving this. Thank you, Steve.

We're going to have to make that a stinger part of the show forever. Just saying, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying. It's going to have to go on the soundboard. If it goes on the soundboard, man, that's legit. So the, NATO will, they're trying to, they've, I think they've agreed. tentatively to an increase in defense spending as a percentage of GDP for each nation. Yes, Kane. Yes. This was one. And this was a, this was a huge win, I think, for POTUS. And this is the

Secretary General of NATO. Listen to this. This is, I mean, it's kind of shocked to hear them say this. I was actually kind of surprised about this. Listen. For too long, one ally, the United States carried too much of the burden of that commitment. And that changes today. President Trump, dear Donald, you made this change possible. Your leadership on this has already produced one trillion dollars an extra spending from European allies since 2016. And the decisions today will produce trillions more for our common events to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America's allies.

You're my daddy. That's right. So it is, man. I didn't have enough audio in that cane. I'm going to need it again so I can... You're my daddy. That's right. Give my daddy.

That's what he just said to him right there. Yeah. And then he goes, you know what? Go ahead and... Oh, now it's not playing. We're going on drags. And timeings everything. Sclamps?

Just ruined it. It's just ruined. It's over now, forever. Moments past. It's long gone. So, yeah. That's very, I mean, I've never, I don't think NATO's accurate, ever said, you know what, you guys are doing all the work. Can we help? That's never been said. Also, I've been paying attention to the news all morning. And the media hasn't said anything about NATO thanking Trump for increasing the spending in defense. Therefore, lowering the United States responsibility overall. Yeah. And you know, and that's funny because they always say, Trump's trying to end NATO. He's a Russian stooge. Wow. He's like the worst Russian.

stooge that's ever stooged because he just got everybody to agree to an increase to spending on defense per GDP. So he's like really the worst, the worst Russian stooge then. I mean, you're fired as Russian stooge. It's just bad, you know, I mean, that's just not very, not very good. So I think right now, so far, it seems like it's going very, very, fairly well for NATO, but NATO, not so much for New York City. So let's be real. Medical freedom isn't just a catchphrase.

Wall Street Journal has an interesting story. It says, goodbye, fancy bar, hello, at home pizza party. Young Americans are cutting back. There's a huge drive and decline of spending amongst Gen Z. They said, we feel rich drinking free coffee. So the shopping spree for young Americans is over. There's going to be a lot of things change. because of them. I think it's fine. Is it going to affect our consumer culture and materialist, you know, predilection in society? I don't know. Maybe.

But very, very interesting. So, you know, we'll see how this goes. Let's see. Skimpy men's swimsuits are making a splash. Dudes, I've heard that speedos for dudes, they think are more comfortable than trunks. Is that true? I can't imagine why. Well, every man that I've heard men debate this, like friends and family debate this and everyone talks about chafing. I'm actually kind of curious. Is that really more, because not every man should wear a speedo, like every woman should wear a bikini? I feel like that with shoes or socks, it's like, oh, the tighter it is the better. No, no.

Yeah. No, it's not comfortable. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. Police arrest a man whose name is literally Looney Tune. After a three-day search. Oh, okay. Yeah, there we go.

Literally, his name is Looney John Franklin Tune. Hope he goes by his middle names. Looney John Franklin Tune is his actual name. It's not a Florida story. It's an Oregon. K-A-T-U, Channel 2. They said that he was arrested on a search warrant. It was taken into custody with that incident.

And he had a warrant for his arrest. So they were able, I mean, there was no, I just the name alone is shocking. I don't know. A British groom was arrested for trying to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland. Was he killed instantly? A British man was arrested for trying to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris. And he was a registered, uh, pedified, yeah, on the British sex offenders list, according to prosecutors. I wonder what his name was.

Hmm. It took place in front of 100 mortified guests at Sleeping Beauty's Castle, and this is Disneyland Paris. And they said that he was wanted back in his homeland. I'm pretty, yeah, he's not a regular British man. Let's just say that. I mean, he looks like a Muslim guy. I'm just going to say, he looks that would be, I'm going to say what nobody else has the balls to say. Anyway, so, yeah, it was, they said it was a fake ceremony at a wedding cake, chairs for guests, all this stuff.

The nine-year-old girl had not suffered any harm. And an individual who was recruited to act as a wedding guest said, we thought we were all going to attend a wedding, and then we were shocked when they realized the bride was a child. Please tell me this guy. It was immediately put to death. I'm just saying. This is just...

And it wasn't a joke. It was like he actually... She had four-inch heels taped to her feet. The four-year-old did. The four-year-old did. Oh, my gosh. Let's see. Churchwardens resigned over her feet.

botch restoration of a virgin Mary statue. Oh my gosh. It really wasn't that bad. It really wasn't that bad. It's the virgin of a La Macarena and it's a Catholic effigy in the Basilica de Santa Maria de Santa Maria Esperanza in Seville.

And I can't even They said it was a bad Oh my gosh. I can't. This is what they said. Apparently this is a measure that they used. They said it wasn't quite as starkly awful as monkey

Christ. But they said that her eyelashes were lengthened. They changed her skin tone. They changed her dress and jewelry. I mean, is it that bad? Is it that bad? I don't think it's that bad. But honestly, I would not have known if I would have just seen it. I don't know. But they're up in arms and they had two wardens that quit. So I don't know. We got a lot more on the way. I don't know if you heard about this. This was, um, did you ever see slumdog millionaire came? It was this, um, I watched it like, I didn't watch it in theaters, but I watched it a long time ago. Not a long time ago. It came out in 2008, DeF Patel, and Danny Boyle directed it.

Well, he, I was reading this piece in variety where he said he would not direct slumdog millionaire again today because of quote unquote cultural appropriation. And he would be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it. He said in a quote, directly, quote, we wouldn't be able to make that now. and that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world and at the time it felt radical. And we made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. And we'd work with a big Indian crew and we'd try to make a film within the culture, but you're still an outsider and it's still a flawed method. And he said that kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned

at certain times, and other times it cannot blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he said he wouldn't do it. I really can't stand when people use cultural appropriation when they're talking about cultural appreciation. they are entirely different things cultural appropriation is a man pretending to be a woman cultural celebration is loving bollywood films which i do i like bollywood films i don't ask me why i like bollywood films and i hate musicals they're they hit different man so i'm saying it hits different the best one is RRR. It's actually reasonable. There's several.

Wait, there's several that are really good. RRR was amazing. It actually took an Oscar legitimately deserved for best score or best a song that they did.

And it's really good. Anyway, I don't know. I can't stand other musicals though. But that's, to do a film like that in that vein, I mean, he was working with, I think his DP was Indian. I was trying to remember

like his cinematographer was Indian. like how much more, I mean, at some point, you've got to stop, like, debasing yourself. Cultural appreciation is not the same thing as appropriation. And I'm so tired of people acting like, well, you can't appreciate this or you can't like that because you're not of that culture or, you know, like, I love anime and I like Japanese food and I like a lot of the aesthetic, but that's not appropriation. That's appreciation, right? Same with Bollywood.

Like, I love, like, the colors that are. used in the textiles. That reminds me of a story on Etsy, which is like a hellscape of wokeery. They and there's like some craft circles where there was a white woman who was like working with an Indian supplier and selling like Indian textiles on her Etsy shop and she like got bullied off of Etsy because of it. It's like there's appropriation and appreciation. Stop it. I hate people trying to run you off of liking things because you're not of the culture that it comes from. That is so asinine.

I had someone who sent me a hate mail one time telling me I shouldn't wear gold hoops, and I beat them down within an inch of their life in an email, which I really do. And I'm like, oh, it's so funny for you. I know the history of gold hoops. Are you Samarian? Because if you're not Samarian, STFU, and let me just tell you really quickly in a one-word sentence why you need to not be talking about this. I'm just, it gets so aggravating.

I feel like it's still happening. It should be happening less because it's like everything else has kind of have dissipated in terms of wokeery but that. Have you noticed that, Kane? Like, people are terrified of it. They're terrified. But nobody has a problem with St. Patty's Day. Oh, hell.

Everybody's out there saying Paddy's Day pretending they're a leprechaun. I don't think so. Nobody cares. You know why? Because the Irish don't care. Because they're not babies. They don't care.

It's only like white progressives that care about this stuff. I didn't hear Indian people like slamming Danny Boyle for doing this film. I think they love the fact that they were like using so many like talents from India and costume designers and, you know, uh, cinematographers and, you know, director photography and lighting and gaffing and all of that stuff. They were just, they were liking

that they could showcase that skill set. It's only white Marxists that get super upset over this stuff. They act like they got a white night for everybody. It's assonine. So I mean, if he thinks like that, then maybe I wouldn't want him to direct it. If you think about this, like you couldn't have, you know how many Italians made? You know how many Italians may? Western films. I mean, Spaghetti Western is a phrase for a reason. That's like saying that you wouldn't have like some great films. Like what is it? My name is nobody is one. That's a great Western film. You wouldn't be able to have stuff like that. Just stop it. Just stop it. Just appreciate the art form for the art form and celebrate just good stories and good direction and good film and

and good acting. This is so stupid. I can't do this. It's like saying something like, you know, somebody like Brian De Palma wouldn't be able to make scarface. You know what I'm saying? Like it's just stop it. It's just so dumb. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
