Dana Lashes of Surr Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. There's this whole piece in The Washington Post, and they're trying to understand why young men keep voting GOP. Because in a lot of the latest surveys, and it's of likely voters, there's a huge surge in independence towards the GOP. There's a growing number of women, but particularly men are really leaning GOP. And Democrats can't figure it out. they can't figure it out they don't know how Republicans particularly with dudes they don't know

how Republicans are doing it and so the Washington Post I thought this was interesting they said that they had a focus group you know who do you get for your focus group if you're having a focus group on this you can't have a bunch of beta dudes and then have a focus group they had a focus group and they said several

we're saying that Democrats don't have a mass they don't have a masculine politician is that all I think that's kind of a cop out. I mean, I accept it because I think part there's some truth to it. But I also think they don't have policies. They don't have good solutions for any of our nation's problems either.

That really goes into it. They can't get away from identity politics. And I know that the bait here is to dive into the masculinity aspect of it, but they can't get away from identity politics and this at all. that's what this is really like diving into they can't they're so close they it's not even a masculine politician they don't even have a masculine position and actually some of them said that they you know except for obama wait let me pull this up yeah except for obama they don't have a man do you think he's particularly masculine yeah i mean i don't know he's i don't know what it is about i don't

find him particularly i mean define masculine these people can't even define what the hell a woman is So how do I expect them to define what masculine is? The peace of our Oahu have Republicans won young men. They dive into some of the reasons why in these focus. They had a number of focus groups. And it was all conducted by Democrats. They said it was, oh, well, it's some Democrats. Well, it's mostly Democrat.

These are all Democrat firms. Or they're like, oh, it's all Democrat firms. They said that the absence of, you know, of a mass. They're, they're crediting that with some of the men moving away from the party. And I think it's way more to it than that. I still can't believe that they cited Barack Obama as a masculine leader. And they said a masculine leader is like outlawed in the Democrat Party right now, according to like apparently all their focus groups.

Well, it's toxic. They've turned it into something that's toxic. They've attacked masculinity for ages. And then, you know, nothing says masculine, like poop booty juice, purchasing children with his partner. Purchasing children with his partner. That's what it is. It's a purchase. Dana, you're so bad.

I don't care. That's what it is. I'm not going to soften it because someone else is weak in spirit. And they can't handle the weight of the reality. That's what it is. If you don't like it, go to hell. But that's exactly what it is. Good grief.

They looked at these surveys of young men, and they said 18 to 29, they're the least likely to support Democrats of any age. And it just gets worse from there. In the meantime, you have poo booty juice out there trying to take the lead. He and Gavin Newsom were going to duke it out. Maybe they'll throw in West Moore, Governor of Maryland as well. But they're trying to figure out what, how can we reach out to men? Well, calling them toxic like you have for the past, I don't know how many years now, doesn't help. Having horrific policies offshore, offshoring jobs, making the business climate heinous.

I mean, these are all things that, you know, all of these things contribute to this. Taking charge of your health is easier with all family pharmacy.

All right, so they will not stop talking. The reason I'm bringing this up is because they won't stop. So now apparently they're mad at Sydney Sweeney over another

thing. She is in, I don't even know what this company is. Steve, do you know what this company is? Is it a hat company? I think it is. I don't even know. They're sitting here going, oh, she's bringing cowboy core. Can we stop saying core? Like if it's cottage core, granny core, coastal granny core.

My goddaughter said that coastal granny core is a thing. imagine what is that movie my mom liked it what's the movie that it has alec baldwin in it and maryl Streep and i don't know it's like this i'm just i don't want to try so it's like this movie for those people that age and they're on the coast it's like a whole style that's around that how they dressed in that film anyway so now it's cowboy core they're saying she's bringing cowboy core to your closet i think cowboy core is already a thing so it is so it is hey dude i

I guess they do hats and stuff. So anyway, she did this commercial. Oh my gosh, and they're so mad again. Cicney, Sweeney's in another ad. She's in another commercial. Look. It helps if I give you the number in it one. It's 19.

Sorry. You can take the dude out of the country. You can't take the country out of the church. I mean, sure, she's in a suede swimsuit on the beach. That makes zero sense. But I don't care. The hat's cool. I mean, why are people mad over this?

They're mad because she's got boobs. That's what it is. I hope that we get to this point where I feel like everybody's been obsessed with the backside and we need more attention on the we need to bring back traditional standards of beauty to where women can look like women and they're not dudes that have Adams apples

and with stubble and things like that, right? We just need to go back to that kind of standard of beauty. So they're mad. And then you have, oh gosh, this doja cat. Oh, I know everyone woke up this morning was like, gosh, I wonder what Doja Cat thinks of Sydney, sweetie's American Eagle ad. So Doja Cat mocked it. She's a singer in case you want to know. She probably didn't.

But, yeah. Watch this. I hate TikTok. Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are bleat. That's like the word.

accent ever I hope she never goes into acting because she would suck it's like the worst accent I've ever heard of my life so she is obvious I mean a lot of people I guess are not intelligent enough to realize that Sydney Sweeney is doing a double entendre don't tell them ask those don't ask those she had to spell it it's bananas B na na na na n a yes this thing is it's like this the old mild mantra that's like a drunk bridesmaid trying to spell bananas in the holo back song on the wedding reception dance floor. Anyway, the,

uh, and it's a double entendre clearly, and she's talking about, I can't believe I have to, do I have to explain this stupid ad? I guess. See, in Dana's America, if I were president of the United States, the people that totally did not understand what this ad was about and think it's about Nazism, I would round you up.

You're damn right I would. I would arrest all of you and take you right to jail. right away. Straight to jail. Right away to jail. You're just there because this is the stupidest thing ever. I wrote about it over at Substack. And then I'm like, maybe it's going to be out of our system and nobody's going to

Nope, no, nope, no, we can't get a break for these people freaking out over this. I think every company should hire her now. I think every single company should hire her. the genes g-e-n-es and genes j-e-a-n-s I said I wrote on sub-sec I said city Sweeney did an ad for American Eagle about her genes which progressives can't apparently differentiate from you know genes and as such immediately soon that the ad was about Hitler because she's blonde and said genes right and the I guess they're like conspiracy theorists check it I've literally seen people go well her

name is Sidney Sweeney it's two S's I swear to you now they deleted their tweet but hands to sky yes this is a problem and as I said it all began when you had a bunch of random heffers on TikTok you know

they got I guess they didn't like their grass feed that day and they got all mad this is let me show you how to do a correct hillbilly accent here doja kitty and I guess that they done got all upset you know because they weren't getting their grass feed. So all these random ass heifers that were on TikTok,

they got real upset, Kane. They decided that they didn't like this girl because she wasn't just pretty. She is unapologetically pretty. And that's the problem. So women, I think, for the past, I don't know how long, have been fed a diet of complaining and moaning about men

and blaming all of their unfortunate choices in life on men. That's what women have been raised on. And it's like all of these like skittled-haired third and fourth wave feminists that have lamented the male gaze. She does not eschew the male gaze. She invites it. She welcomes it. She's not intimidated by it because she's confident enough as a woman to recognize that that's power. Women have been led to believe that bitching and moaning is power.

Playing the victim is power. They have forgotten how to use their feminine wiles. They have no idea. Well, some of them don't have it, especially the ones that have Franken beans cane. They definitely don't have it. But she invites you to look. She appreciates the male gaze because they buy her products and they watch the movies that she's in and they watch the television show that she's in.

And her power and her marketing appeal is in her feminine beauty. It's not in victimhood. And victimhood is the only tool slash source of power that most of these modern feminists know. And what gets me is that all of these women out there, they have been raised on this steady diet of complaining and blaming men for everything, everything in their life, all their unfortunate choices, they blame on men, only then to turn around and surrender their locker rooms, their sports teams, their advertising, their spaces to men. That doesn't make any sense.

they champion morbidly obese women like in Victoria's Secret ads which by the way they do prove that it is possible to even make lingerie repellent and then they shame Sweeney and any woman that looks like her or shaped like her for being quote unquote provocative the first time I ever heard of this actress

was in a story where people were like shaming her because there's something that she wore on the red carpet because they said she had too much cleavage and I was looking I'm like she has boobs it's not too much cleavage. Good grief. You know, what do you want her in a burqa? Like, shut up. It's not too much. She's a woman. She's not dressed skanky. She's got no more cleavage than they had in the 17th century. Please get some smelling salt. But they were slut shaming her because she did not look like what the skittled hair third and fourth waivers wanted women to look like. Right. And so, I mean, so much for body positivity, I guess. That's out the window. If you look like Sidney Sweeney, you can be ashamed for your body. Everyone else, if you're morbidly obese, or if you have a penis, then it's all about, yay, body positivity. And so, as a result of women doing all of this, masculinity has been denigrated. Men don't want to pursue women. Marriage rates are declining. And the United States has been said as in a romantic recession.

And I gave you a study on that if you are a subscriber over at substack. It is, it's, it's like these broads because they couldn't attract a date. they don't want anyone else to either. So you have companies, and I love that companies are doing this. I love that American Eagle did not do a Bud Light. I love that they did not do an Ulta. I love that they got an honest

to goodness woman. A woman that looks like a woman, that looks like a lot of other women. I know more women that look like Sidney-Sweeney than look like Dylan Mulvaney. And Dylan Mulvaney's a dude, just for FYI. That's the joke. But she's a real woman. She's pretty.

and the left has devolved into such a state of hysteria that they immediately went to Godwin's law. You know, and that's what I said. Like, oh, it's Nazi because Eagle, American Eagle, and then Sidney Sweeney, two S's like, oh, my gosh. It's, it is a rest, it's like a, it's like going back to the old standard of beauty. What is the phrase that I saw someone say? They said that, um, oh, retro sexiness, which I, I don't know. I think it was a phrase made up by a bunch of unical seamsters, but whatever. Retro-sexiness.

Have you ever heard that phrase? Have you heard that phrase used recently came? I have not. I think we could just drop the retro off of that. I'm hoping that if we start going back to, like, actual women looking like women and being good-looking and feminine, that we can go back to having, like, more manly, masculine testosterone-driven men. Like, have that be the norm. because that has been the norm for forever.

I, okay, so I had a conversation with, when we had dinner with friends, we had this whole, like a whole conversation about this one night. When I was in fifth grade, there was a dude of my fifth grade class that I swear to you had a mustache. By seventh grade, dude was getting a beard. When I looked back at my parents' yearbooks,

the men, even though they were like 17 years old, looked like they were 30. Then I started, the way, then I went down. this whole rabbit hole of how testosterone has been on the decline. Of course, other chemicals for women, but for men specifically, testosterone has been on the decline, which is why men look younger for longer and they like develop later, et cetera, et cetera. Do you think there's something to that? Because now I'm like, when you look at dudes, I, I shouldn't say this. I was not like a drinker

in high school or didn't. I did not do any of that stuff because I had a very strict parent, but I did go to a house party one time. And our friend, who was a senior in high school, was already balding and had a beard. No joke. And he would stand on the porch and wave at people because everyone thought he was the dad. I kid you not. I kid you not. You do not have any...

Where do you have that today? Right? Where do you have that? It's just so weird. So my whole point is that I want to get back to where... to these actual standards of attractiveness. Because women like men that are like that and men like women that are like that. And I'm done with all,

I'm done with the freaks dictating what our standards of beauty are. I'm done with men trying to dictate to women how to do their makeup. People like Dylan Mulvaney and that other dude who's got the hair care line at Ulta, trying to dictate beauty standards to women. No, no, no, no, no, no. So I think that it's less about American Eagle. I think it's even less about not. Nazism and all of that. It's even less about race. Although you have the usual suspects trying to

make that a factor. I think that it is a war on traditional standards of beauty. And she is like the avatar for that resurgence. And that's why she's getting so much. Because when you lose culture, you guys know policies downstream from culture. When you lose the culture, when the culture goes one way the policy follows. The folks who don't make the show possible. It is Caltech, the generation, third generation of the sub 2K. It's the Gen 3, Sub 2K. You guys are familiar with Keltech, Florida-based company. The third generation of the sub-2K folds fast. Optics stay in place. It deploys quickly, zeroed and ready. And it is a single twist and fold motion of that rotating four-in, so that's what folds quickly in half. Optics and all, you don't have to

detach anything. It's a folding carbine available in a variety of calibers. now even more versatile with the new 10-millimeter chambering. Standard Glock, it takes a 15-round Glockmag. They have a reliable blowback design that ensures ease of maintenance and consistent performance, lightened, five-pound trigger pull. You got the M-L-L-L-L-E-C-Wapons up top for accessories. It's ideal for any situations.

Okay, Oprah Winfrey apparently had her road closed to part of her Hawaii estate, and I was reading so many, because I hate social media, social media is just a bag of dead rats and bad conspiracy theories.

Anyway, she hit back at claims that she had refused to open her private road in Hawaii for people to escape. She said, as soon as she heard about it, she opened it. I mean, you know, maybe, maybe there's more of a problem than just having Oprah Winfrey not have her a road open. Maybe it's having, I don't know, generational Democrats run a beautiful island paradise into literally the anus of hell because they have no idea how to administrate

anything. There's a thought. Maybe stop electing Democrats who would rather you guys die in fires and in tsunamis than actually do anything to properly manage Hawaii. Shocking how much you can change if you just get better lawmakers. All right, moving on.

It's true. You know it. Let's see. This Harvard science, oh, dear heavens. A Harvard scientist, I think we had this yesterday. Did someone miss that? They said that the hostile alien crap, could we had this yesterday, could strike Earth in months, blah, blah, blah. Starbucks CEO confirms plans to close

hundreds of locations because their coffee sucks out loud. They do have the most overroasted beans ever, and I'm sorry, but pumpkin spice tastes like turkey water smells. It does. I don't know why people love pumpkin spice. What is, like, particularly women. Wait, it tastes like turkey water? It is the nasty.

thing I have ever It's horrible. I don't know how people drink it. It's like if you're brining a turkey, you know, it's like it tastes like turkey water smells. It's horrible. Anyway, they're going to close 90 locations by the end of next year.

The new CEO took over. He said they're getting phased out throughout next year amid the ongoing back to Starbucks initiative. They said they want to sunset the mobile order and pickup only concept. They're going to get rid of the only way that I would ever go to Starbucks is with the mobile order

because I will kill everybody if I have to stand in line and like sit here and go up to some, you know, skittal-haired barista and be like, can I get a blah, blah, blah, la. Can I just get a black coffee? Can I just like get a black coffee? Is that possible? Dana, why do you hate everything today?

Because I feel like Daffy Doc today. That's why I'm Daffy Duck. Let's see. Oh, da-da-da-da. Ooh, Powell's under siege is the Fed plans to stand on rate cuts. Now it's political. Why are you not cutting the rates? Because he got embarrassed when he was standing with Trump at that.

When he was at the Fed and they had that press conference and he was standing there next to him and he made all the memes with a couple of photos. Even top earners are falling behind on credit card and car payments. That's because people live above their means. If you're a top earner and you're not able to do this, you need to seriously find Jesus and money management. There's literally no, nothing's going to change unless culturally people push back on this, right? push back on the idea of having an absolute two-income family. A lot of people do that to keep up with the Joneses, and they would be shocked.

I lived it, so hell yes, I have the authority to speak on it. They'd be shocked at how little they could get by on. We have a lot more on the way. One last thing, too. So Oreo and Reese's fans, the headline is that they have been begging for a mashup for a decade, and I like both of these things individually, and I've never asked for this mashup.

Never? Who was pulled? I don't know, diabetics. Rises with the Hershey Company, they're owned by two different companies. So apparently they're collaborating. And they're coming out with the Oreo Rhesas. And it looks horrible. Is it a Risa's Oreo?

It's the Rhesus filling in the cookie. No. I don't know. I'm curious enough to try it. No. Don't you like the filling, though? With the chocolate. Well, yeah, that's what the Oreo cookie is.

No, that's a cookie. But it's chocolate-flavored cookie. One's a confection. One is a biscuit. True. Okay, way different. But they have the same flavor. No.

No, they don't. No. Because the silky, chemically induced peanut butter filling of the Reese's has the chocolate candy coating, and that's what I need. If I wanted the cookie, I would eat the cookie.

I just, I mean, if you, Steve is so excited about this. I think I burst this bubble, and I was like, what? I'm not so sure. sure I'm on this fence. I'm not on the side that you're on where it's like, no. The peanut butter filling is going to be too strong for the biscuit. It's going to overpower the biscuit, whereas the vanilla was a, was a compliment to it. They each complimented each other. The peanut butter is such a

strong flavor. You have to have that hard chocolate shell, that rich chocolate shell. I don't know. I think you might get enough chocolate with that cookie. Yeah, I don't think so. Steve, I disagree with you. That's okay if you think that. Steve, you're really excited about this. You're going to eat this up. No, it just had, I definitely will. But it just came up on, I had like three in a row feet, like scrolls on my feed where this was like debated between three different people. And I was like, okay, I have to think about how I feel about this. I like Riesies and I like Oreos. But I don't know how I feel about both them together.

I think I- Do you call it Ries? What did I say? Is that an East Coast thing? Yeah, might be. She says Rises. I know it's Rises, though, isn't it? That's an East Coast thing.

Rees. Rees. Because that's like the third time he's done that today. and I'm like, maybe it was, you know, but I think it's an East Coast thing because he's not the only person I've ever heard. Resey's? Is that what you used to? Lorraine, do you guys and Chad that live on the East Coast?

Y'all call it Riesies? Anyway, I don't know how I feel about this. Like I said, like I love the Reese's peanut butter cups. I'll eat those and I'll eat an Oreo separately. I would never eat both of these two together. Well, they hit the shelves in September. Boo. You can pre-order in August.

Boo. She calls it Reese's too. They say Reese's over there? So it is an East Coast. That's an East Coast thing. Yeah. You guys are like Martians. Rees?

You call it Reesies. I love it. So if you were over, if you were there and you'd be like, yeah, I want a Reese's. They'd be like, what? That's funny. How did they say Reese's piece? So they said Reese's Pieces. Do you guys say Reese's Pieces?

Yeah, you have to say PCs. That's the law. There's like so many unspoken laws about the East Coast. I was like, and then you get in a Jersey and the whole state is divided by whether or not you call it a tailor ham or a pork roll. That's it. No, nobody, they don't care anything else. Are you Taylorham or a pork roll? People go to war over this.

Oh, my gosh. So I'm told by listeners and everybody else that they do say Reese's in the East Coast. I am today years old learning this and we are dying. And then Steve was like, well, what do you call, you know, the thing that you put your groceries in when you go to the grocery store and I'm like a cart and he's like, now, it's a buggy. It is a buggy going up near Philly and an Ohio. No, they're going to get offended if you call it that. It's like Pittsburgh and Ohio. That's who calls it Buggies and Pops and stuff like that.

Bugies and Pops. The story of Pittsburgh and Ohio. That sounds like a, it sounds like an NPR program. Well, then I was saying like, oh, man, I really want some hot wings right now. Like, I want some good, saucy hot wings. And I'm too lazy to make them myself right now. I would do them and I'd put them in the oven. I'd get some Franks red hot.

Little crystals, because crystals is different. Put that Franks in with some butter. Man, I'd be based in them, them wings with the franks and butter. Or tindies, you put some tindies in the oven, get that franks and butter and then add some crystal in it. Not meth, but like the hot sauce. I just realized they probably should be a little bit. Appreciate that, Claire. And then I was like, yeah, I get all flats.

And Steve's like, yeah, all flats. And Cain's like, what? What? Why all flats? It seems like a lot of work. No, it's not. Drummies are easier to eat. You snap them little bones apart and you got a little tindy right there.

You got a little gristle cap on that one with the two bones. I have to do math in my head to eat them drummies and I don't want to do that. I don't want to be like, wait, this is a cartilage right here. What kind of math are you doing in your head eating drummies? I just, the drummies, I feel like if I'm going to eat a drumstick, I want a turkey leg. I want to feel like I just ripped a leg off a Bronosaurus and I'm barely carrying it around with me. These, the little drummies with hot wings are a little dainty things. And I'm like, it's like a pinkies.

out thing. I want flats. I get all flats. Just for clarification, I don't mind the flats at all. I eat the flats just as much as I eat the drummies. I think that the flats are more of a chore to eat than the drummies. Steve, what do you like all flats? I used to work at Buffalo Wild Wings in high school and I was a server for four years. And I've eaten so many wings in my lifetime that I just decided that it's so much. There's more meat. It's deceiving. There is more meat on a flat. is there? Yes.

All right, we're going to have to do this experiment. Yes. Because I don't know. More meat on the flat. Like if I'm at a buffet or something and I'm like putting wings on my plate, I'm picking the drummies. You're picking them little skinny little drummies. It's all knobs and no meat. That's what it is.
