Dana Lashes of Surtruth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Oh, a wild brawl broke out amongst swimsuit-clad boaters at a Florida lake in front of families, kids, pets, everybody, nature, everything. A big old fight broke out amongst a bunch of boaters at a Florida lake over the weekend. was knocked unconscious and left floating face down in the water. According to a video, it happened at Lake Winnerset in Polk County in front of kids. They were relaxing lakeside with their family.

According to Pope County Sheriff Office, seven men and a 17-year-old boy were arrested. Sheriff Grady Judd announced yesterday that he was going to make an example out of the hooligans. And, I mean, it's one, I mean, I watched one fella get knocked, face out, just knocked out, and he went face down on the ground. Another was face down in the water. Punches flying at random. A woman in a pink bikini tried CPR and one knocked out man. The chaos very like I mean I don't even know if we can play the video

Can you show some of the screenshots? I don't know if we can actually play the video Because there's so much cussing in it But they were showing just like some B-roll And every all the men are in their late teens Are early 20s except for one 40 year old man And the sheriff said that they're going to crack down On delinquency but they were fighting and are brawling

And nobody actually even knows what over That's the you know I Yeah I'm just say they don't even know A Florida man is accused of giving his grandfather a drug cocktail to, quote, ease up his death. The man said, I helped him out. Okay, yeah, it's euthanasia, and it's also murder, and that's not helping nobody out. That's not what that is.

Oh, my gosh. So now he's, I can't get this open. Now he's going to be sentenced, and he's going to be going into jail for that. And then, well, I'll get you tomorrow, the guy who was arrested, and said he drank too much on the body can footage. And, yeah, he very evidently dead. Stick with us more in store. These women aren't friends out for a run.

They're actually undercover police officers, taking to the streets in Surrey as part of a new operation trying to stop people cat-calling and harassing female runners. We get honked at the staring, the hanging out of the window just to look at us, and it's so, so, so prevalent. And police teams are ready to intervene the moment the officers are beeped at, followed or shouted at pulling people over. Those kind of behaviours may not be criminal offences in themselves,

but they still need to be addressed. And of course, the people that are likely to commit those kind of behaviours, you know, they may then go on to commit more serious offences or more serious behaviours. This is the stupidest stuff I've ever seen in my life. And it's actually what they're doing in Britain. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you at the top of the second hour. They're actually doing this in Britain. Did you, you heard the fella.

He said, well, it's not actually a crime, you know, per se. We can't actually, you know, arrest them for catcalling. But, you know, we're still going to try to stop it. We're going to use all our taxpayer-funded resources. So I feel like that Drake meme, you know, oh, grooming gangs and Rotherham, you know, but cat-calling, you know, like an entrapment. That's, that's the thing. That's the, this is insane. They're spending taxpayer dollars.

And I'm sorry. not sending us their best. Can I just be honest for a moment? Because this is why you guys really ultimately, you're like, just do it, Dana. I know you just say what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking in your head. I mean, how many people actually believe that all these dudes were turning these heads over that? One of them, one of them was like some big fun. You know what I mean? Like from Heather's. I'm just saying, uh, I, I think that they look goofy because they're running around in a vest and my first thought would be like, why are you, I would be looking like, why are you in that vest for it's not, you know, that's just dumb. But the fact that they decided

to actually, they're actually like baiting people. Like, like, I'm, I'm just can't even believe this. So they did. They had these British cops, like, go running, just go jogging. And they, now, you know what the article didn't get into? Who are the people actually cat calling them? I mean, are they the same type of people that were getting the girls in the grooming gangs in Rotherham? I'm just curious. And honestly, one of these broads should be, should just be happy that she can still elicit some attention. If I'm being honest, let's just be real about it. If you're going to sit here and shame men like this, then I feel like, you know, turnabouts fair play.

But they said that they created the Surrey Police Department came because they, for lack of anything else to do, they created a trial task force. for an entire month cane and it led to 18 arrests well that's completely different from catcalling why are you comparing men who are catcalling to by the way I've seen women catcall the heck out of dudes I have seen in my lifetime

more women cat call men than men ever cat call women it's this not something I get offended by it's I mean it's one thing if someone's like screaming abuse at you which I've had happen but it's entirely different if someone's like paying you an audible compliment by either whistling or something else and I don't know why women feel like I've got a way to give myself power so I'm just going to pretend to be offended and be a victim and like claim that as my power that's just lame and then they're going to complain later I just don't know why I can't get any

dates. Well, maybe because you've like turned something innocent like that into something horrific. So they were wearing tight-fitting clothes. They're wearing exercise clothes, you absolute morons. That's how it was described in the British press.

They're wearing leggings and like t-shirts. For crying out loud, but it's not a burqa. But they said they were sent to rush hour hotspots. And they pretended to be joggers. they were joggers they were jogging and they said one person was honked at in 10 minutes

oh no keelho they honked at her meanwhile in rotherham for 15 years they were sexually abusing molesting and trafficking minor girls like as young as like 12 but hey they honked at one of your one of your cops and leggings this is just so goofy just this is so goofy they're like people slow down to stare do a lot of people jog in that area because that might be weird right I don't know it it just I don't know this whole thing is I will absolutely stare at someone if I see them jogging especially if they look dumb while they're doing it because every now and then you have the person who either runs like uh what's his face Naruto or uh you got somebody that they they're just like an arm swinger have you seen those I look at it because it's strong

range. It doesn't mean I'm cat calling. I will look at them and be like, that person is running like a loon. Look at them. Or if they're like slapping their feet on the pavement like a duck. You know, I'm like, look at that person's form. Absolutely. They have no idea. They're assigning, especially the people who are saying, they're assigning motives to them. Maybe they get honked because they weren't abiding right of way. You never know. This is the stuff that they do over there. They created an immediate trial task force for this. But Rotherham abuse, an entire an entire city where thousands of young girls were trafficked by Pakistani men for almost two decades and all of people like in high up positions covered it up. That's, you know, can't rush to

create a task force for that. But for this, oh yes, we're going to create a task force. I and then this this little the inspector John Vale I feel harassed just by this can you claim that like I feel these people's like ridiculous reaction is harassing me I feel harassed where's my relief it's what I just just

Britain man I don't even know what's happening in Britain case in point so this they have a lot of immigration coming in from northern Africa a lot. And they had a Nigerian man. I'm not, I don't know if I should try his name, Aomid Famakim, who is from Nigeria. He sexually assaulted a young woman. But because he had a troubled, whatever that means, a quote unquote troubled background,

he wasn't given jail time. The judge felt sorry for him saying, oh, the prison sentence would be too severe. So he just gets 18 months of community service. And he was left to go. And he was left to go. And it was a teenager. And basically they were like, oh, he doesn't know that it's, you just can't go around like raping women. Same country. You just can't go around. He doesn't know that you just can't go around raping women. So we just feel so bad for him that he just doesn't know that he can do that. Yeah, he was, he targeted and sexually assaulted a teenager. The victim says that she's terrified to go anywhere alone and that he ruined her life. And she tried to fight him off and he just, he pulled her to the ground and he was going to brutally rape her. You can't tell me he wasn't. I mean, he pulls her to

the grounds, pulling off her clothes. Yeah. And then someone pulled another individual intervene and pulled him off of her. But the judge said, well, it was a momentary aberration. He had a very troubled background, you see. He had a very difficult life, you see. He's a gym instructor from South London, so he was able to come to the UK, Kane, and figure out how to get a job, how to apply for a job, how to get a flat, how to do all of these things. But he didn't know that you just can't go around rape being women. Yeah. They said, no, no, no, a custodial sentence would be too severe for him. I mean, screw the victim. I mean, you know, not literally in case he gets the wrong idea. But, yeah, The girl was at the beach with her friend.

They were walking back home. And that seems like normal, right? You're at the beach with your friend. You're a young woman. Shouldn't you be able to go to the beach in your country? And if you live by the beach, walk home from the beach. But that's when they were walking home together and he approached them. And the victim said that she first realized that somebody had put an arm around her waist.

And she was talking and looking at her friend and then she realized all of a sudden this guy appeared. And then he started shoving his hands on her pants and knocked her to the ground. And they called police right away. All the people at the scene identified this guy. There was DNA evidence that linked him. He was found guilty of sexual assault. And the victim goes, I didn't see him coming and I certainly did not ask him to ruin my life. He left me crying and injured on the ground asking for help.

and she's like, I'm terrified to walk alone on the street. And the judge is like, well, you know, he expresses remorse. He's a bright young man with clear potential. So we're going to now, if you can't call a woman and you're a British person, you're going to have, you know, the book thrown at you. But if you come into the country from somewhere else and you, you know, apparently are, you can go out and get a job, but then you want to claim ignorance when you realize that you can't just go grabbing women like you apparently can't in your home country. Oh, then it's, oh, don't repeat it.

You know, you get a little tap on the wrist, not even a slap. Britain is conquered. They conquered themselves. The UK has conquered itself. Keltek, the PR 57, one of the newest firearm offerings from Keltek. A rotary barrel pistol, and that's 40% lighter than other 5-7s on the market. And it's chambered, 5-7. And it establishes kind of a new measure with lightweight design.

The rotary barrel makes it the lightest 5-7 pistol available. And they have a unique top-loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile in a 20 plus 1 capacity. Inspired by real-world data and defensive needs, MSRP of only 399, low recoil for ease of use and accuracy, and quickest and easiest field strip there is. and you can find it at celticweapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com innovation performance, Keltech, KeltecWeapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Fun fact, playing a little bit of Queen and David Bowie under pressure on our way in as bumper. Once, when I worked at a record store, back during my college days, I played that, and someone thought I was playing vanilla ice, and I kicked them out of the store. I made them leave, and I said you have a one-month ban, until you get better tastes. I mean, not that I dislike Robbie and Wigel, but the fact that you didn't know what that was sampled from, get out of the story.

All right, so, true story. Let's see, this is from the Hill. Mam Danny, I have to say it the way that they say in glorious bastards, Nancy. Mam Danny, he's leading the New York City mayor race by 19 points in a latest Sienna Research Institute poll. He's at 44, Cuomo's at 25,

Sola is at 12, Eric Adams is at, I mean, this is just getting, I don't know. Here we go. This actually surprised me. NFL's heaviest player, 464 pounds. He's deemed too fat to play. Yeah, and he's forced to watch from the sidelines until he loses weight. Desmond Watson, they have no idea when he's going to be able to return.

He's the heaviest. He's on track to be the heaviest in history. He's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's got to lose a lot of weight, apparently. They said they have to get the number down. He still has a lot of work to do. They said he's doing a solid job. That's all I'm going to say.

So, man, alive, that's a lot. On the off season, he had to gain a lot, I guess, or else he wouldn't have been signed if they knew physically he wasn't able to play. Yeah, I think that's what I was. So I think something happened over this break. I mean, I think someone wasn't eating healthy, you know, and I get it, you know. I mean, you're in the grocery store and you're walking by them star crunches. My kids did not know what a Star Crunch was.

I haven't had one of those in decades. First off, but I know I got other headlines. That's a test to determine whether or not someone is worthy of being in your group during an apocalypse. Do they know what a Star Crunch is? They don't get out. Go to jail. Right to jail. That's where you go.

U.S. Major Airline warns it's going to shut without a cash boost. Well, I don't know. Maybe if we allowed things to be privatized and, you know, I don't know, we had better service and we weren't treated like cattle. Spirit Airlines. Isn't that we all the fights happening? Isn't that the Waffle House of the Skies? Spirit Airlines. It's the Waffle House of the Skies. They'll just slap you out of the plane.

You don't even need to, like, you know, de-bored. They'll just slap it. He slapped you right off. They said that they don't have a lot of money and they need help. Okay. Let's see. Amman was arrested if you're breaking into a Redmond Auto Shop. He had to get his phone back.

I mean, I understand you want your phone back, but isn't there a way? that maybe you could wait or maybe try to get a hold of the, it was at 1.30 p.m. So it was in the middle of the afternoon. But the way that he did it, though, he threw a rock right through the front door. That's not the way to do that, right? So I don't know, maybe they were out for lunch, whatever it was, but you could have waited. And you didn't need to throw a rock and bust their door in.

And then enter it while it was unoccupied. That's them. Target cookie recall, thousands of popular sugar cookies recall because they got woodpeas. pieces in them. I mean, do you know what cellulose is? Number one. Number two. Why are you, I don't, I will not buy cookie dough. I'm not going to buy the cookie dough like that. Make it. It's so easy, especially sugar cookie. It's like the easiest cookie to make. And it's so much better. It tastes better. Your kids will think you're amazing. They will love you. Don't buy the stuff. Don't buy it. It's junk. The best part, no wood. Yeah, and there's no wood in it. That's right. No wood, no bug legs.

None of that stuff is in there. Yeah, that's what cellulose is. Our friends over at all family pharmacy, they have everything that, okay, so you know what I'm actually getting ready to look at?

I mean, it's, shouldn't it be about celebrating American exceptionalism? One of my favorite museums was the Smithsonian, the American Museum, Americana, and the World War II exhibits specifically.

Gone there, I've taken my kids there, they're amazing. And I'm a huge World War II history buff, and I loved just, oh gosh, it's just amazing seeing some of the stuff that they have there. The White House posted a letter on its website that read, quote, letter to the Smithsonian. Internal review of Smithsonian exhibitions and materials, they wanted to have a, quote, broader vision of excellence that highlights historically accurate, uplifting and inclusive portrayals of America's heritage. So they want to make sure that it's aligning with this directive to celebrate American exceptionalism. This is all from the letter.

Remove divisive or partisan narratives and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions. That doesn't sound bad, Kane? Nope. So far. I mean, does that sound bad? I mean, yeah. that's all good, right? Nobody wants a historical divisiveness.

We want to all have confidence in our shared cultural institutions, right? Yeah. So they want to have public-facing content, a review of the exhibition text, wall, didactics, they want to have educational materials, digital social media content. They want to hear, they want to quote, assess tone, historical framing and alignment with American ideals.

Then a curatorial process to, talk with the curators and senior staff and reading from the letter that understands the selection process, exhibition approval workflows, et cetera, et cetera, exhibition planning. Because we have our 250th anniversary for the Declaration of Independence coming up, America's founding, et cetera. They want to evaluate how existing materials and collections are being used or could be used to highlight American achievement and progress. And whether or not they can digitize, ties or convey to other institutions certain materials, and they want to make sure that they have curatorial guidelines that reflect their original mission.

Here's David Axelrod. Quote, I'm going to make my David Axelrod face. The White House plans to conduct a far-reaching review of Smithsonian Museum exhibitions, materials, and operations. The guy who declared their independence from a Mad King 249 years ago would have lots to say about this. What? What? Mother Jones. Mother Jones is like the sherman of editorial toilet paper.

Not even sherman. It's a one-ply. They wrote, the White House is pressuring the Smithsonian to eliminate political influence. That's Orwellian. What's Orwellian? Is the political influence that he have already infused and infested the Smithsonian with? That is what is Orwellian. And then the Daily Beast.

Trump's initiative to make history great again is now. threatening to bulldoze Smithsonian exhibits. Oh, oh wait, here's Politica. White House announces Smithsonian's review amid Trump's cultural reckoning. What the left tried to do was Mao's color revolution, rewriting our history,

trying to shame us and shame our founding, trying to only focus, on the sins and without any grace and ignore the amazing journey of reconciliation and redemption and the story arc of our country, of any country. I mean, that's the Orwellian aspect of it. That is what they did. They wanted to rewrite history and wanted to denigrate our founders so that, we would somehow divorce ourselves because we did not want to have our characters impugned

by association. If they can make you think that something is bad, you will voluntarily separate yourself from it so as to not be stained by it. You will remove yourself from association. So it was a chilling effect. They wanted you to think this thing was bad. They want you to think the founders have faults and thus are imperfect and if the founders are imperfect and our nature's founding is void. That's the whole goal of CRT. to make you lose faith in the very fabric of this nation, in the very pillars of our institutions, so that if we believe that these people are faulty, then the entire purpose of the nation, the premise of this nation can be called into question. I mean, it is a very graceless,

punitive, maliciously dishonest framing. It also ignores old and New Testament. I mean, let's not look at, you know, Jesus's family lineage, shall we, if they want to have these applied arguments, but I digress. But that's the whole purpose of it, is they wanted you to feel shame, therefore you would voluntarily divorce yourself from this without, and then you would, you would distance yourself from that. You wouldn't be maybe as excited to talk about George Washington, as excited to talk about Thomas Jefferson, you know, these people who themselves have commit no sin in their own

lives. I mean, that's just stupid. I mean, by that measure, then you would have to question Jesus because look at David and look at everyone who came in that family line before him. I mean, it's an absolute rejection of God equips the called, doesn't call the equipped. It's a total rejection of it. And it's a rejection of that grace and the whole purpose of that story because it's all about magnifying God's greatness and not mankind's. It ignores all of that. And so it is a bastardization of it. It is evil and malicious. But that is the whole purpose of it. And they have infested the Smithsonian with us mentality. And so all this is is removing the infestation. That's not Orwellian. It's removing the Orwellian. It was Orwellian to demand that we rewrite history

books. It's Orwellian to demand that we somehow blame ourselves for having a free and prosperous nation. It is Orwellian to demand that our freedom isn't really a just freedom because our founders were fallible. Well, everyone is. At least they're honest about it, where the left isn't. So I think this is high time that it happens. Now, the Smithsonian gave a statement to USA Today saying they were not asked by any administration or any government official to remove anything. And they said they put, USA Today noted that Smithsonian puts Trump's name back in the museum's impeachment display with changes. And I guess it has a caveat. I keep seeing that. They just, that's just like stuff to be petty.

you know if they really wanted to have like a legitimate exhibition about that they would compare that impeachment to Clinton's impeachment or they would look at Nixon and then Clinton and then maybe Trump and then they could compare okay well what criminal charges let's look at the criminality involved in this case with Trump and in this case with Clinton because there were criminal charges involved with Clinton that was based on a criminal case and part of the reason why it was so further compounded is because the Clintons did everything they could to try to hide it. It all started with Whitewater and went from there, Paula Jones, and then it just kept adding up. And with Trump, there was no actual criminality. And even if there had been, it would have been

a misdemeanor, and that's where you hear of the bookkeeping, this is the New York case, a misdemeanor bookkeeping error that was actually years. passed the statute of limitations. And then they fabricated a charge for which they never actually explained. And they advised the jury to discard it just to accept the fact that there exists a charge for another crime, but we're not going to tell you the nature of it. But the whole reason that they wanted there to be the existence of some unexplained crime was so that they could dredge back this expired accusation, and then in New York's weird

twisted law, combine it to elevate it to a federal, a felony level. There were a lot of attorneys in New York that are very rabidly progressive that would not even touch it because they thought this is so stupid. But Alvin Bragg, well, he's their whipping boy, basically. I don't know how you call him. They get him to do everything. He was like, I'll do it. He's, has more ambition than sense. The only other person who maybe outmatches him is Hillary Clinton. But they had Alvin Bragg do it. And then he brought this case.

And there was no criminal conviction. They just had the opposite of a homecoming contest. It's an unpopularity contest. That's what he won with Democrats. Ooh. And then they had all these different process charges just because they wanted to up the number and make it look like there were a lot of crimes that he was convicted of. because they knew nobody was going to go in there and look, oh, what is this?

36 different charges. Every time you send an email, that's another charge. You reply to it. That's another charge. I mean, it was all the same case, but it's like every little bitty, ancillary thing related to this one thing there, just they'll feather up another charge. That's what it was all about. If they really wanted to have a very educational exhibit, they would explain that in detail,

but they don't because it's all partisan. So, yes, removing that. That's actually the opposite of Orwellian. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
