Dana Lashes of Sir Truth Podcast sponsored by Kel-Tec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All I'm going to say is these gators need to calm down in Florida.
A Florida Man got attacked by a seven-foot gator while he was on his morning walk, say deputies, in Naples, Florida. He's recovering in the hospital. He was out Collier County Sheriff's Office. He was walking around. He gets up at five.
He walks around the house. He was in his golf course, golf course community. Gator came up and bit him right on the leg. They, they said that the second day that deputies arrived, they were on the scene provided first aid. The second deputy kept eyes on the gator. He told it where it was, told the trapper that came where it was. So it's alligator mating season. And apparently, they're super aggressive right now. And so residents are told any body of water or vegetation now, apparently, to be very cautious because a gator could have a nest there. So this, they're trying to figure out if this was a female gator and whether or not there was a nest near where the attack occurred.
Because that's apparently, you know, and it could be in vegetation right by the water. So you just just don't walk around. Just hover. Just if you're in Florida, just hover off the ground.
They can't jump at least right. I mean, we do know that much. Yeah, I mean, I do many Christmas. Okay, I have like a million.
First off, let me do this. This is in Orlando. This is sent by Florida woman, Amber.
Orlando, she sends nothing inappropriate this time. Orlando police are searching for a bicyclist accused of riding off with a stolen horse. How do you, it was 3.15 in the morning, they pedaled their little bike there. And then get this, you would think they would ride the, no, they pedaled away with the horse in tow.
You heard that right. They they got the horse off the trailer, then they climbed back on their bike and pedaled away with the horse. Behind. Now this horse according to Passo Fino Horse Association has a distinctive appearance and it's known for its very smooth natural gait.
They're still looking for the person. Is this not nuts? That's crazy.
Gets back on the bike and pedals away and just, you know, trot trot trot has the horse there. A 19 foot, oh my gosh, a 19 foot 125 pound invasive python was captured again in Naples. So that dude got bit by that gator. And by some people who've never been python hunting before Jake O'Leary, he and his his mom woke up to a text in the middle of the night. And it was a picture of her son. And they all had the snake on their shoulders.
And she goes, Well, that's great. So it is I it's 125 pounds, 19 and a half foot long. That's crazy. But they were able to capture it.
It's man. And they they found a Burmese python nest that had 111 eggs because it's like it's killing all the locals. You know, indigenous species in Florida.

And I'm going to tell you guys right now, the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, the North Koreans, they are not they are not doing this because they want the strongest military possible. I hope my colleagues on the other side understand what we're doing. Thank you so much. I'd like to be recognized to have the words colored people stricken from the record. I find it offensive and very inappropriate. What?
Okay. Welcome back to the show. Where's Smod? Sweet meteor of death.
Should be hurtling towards this rock to smash us all into bits. Oh, yeah, your lovable curmudgeon here, Dana Lash. You can listen to the radio program coast to coast. You can stream the show. You can watch the simulcast YouTube, Facebook, DirecTV Channel 347.
Sign up for the newsletter over at Substack chapter and verse. So it was Eli Crane who stood up on the house floor yesterday, late afternoon and said, quote, colored people. That was his quote. And Joyce Beatty says it's racist, and that people of color is apparently what you're supposed to say.
Now, I just wanted to I'm trying to figure something out here. Because you have the NAACP. What does that stand for?
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Is, is there? What is the difference between, and I'm asking this, you know, I'm, you know, I'm looking at this, you know, purely from an academic standard here. I'm looking at like the etymology of this word. Because one has a preposition and one doesn't. One phrase has a preposition, one does not have a preposition. So why is the one with the preposition? Does the preposition make it not offensive? I'm trying to understand for the lack of a better way to say it, the etymology of the phrasing. Does the existence of the preposition make it somehow less offensive?
If so, why? I'm being incredibly genuine and asking this. I'm not being a smartass.
I will tell you if I am or you'll hear me laugh. But I really genuinely, what is the explanation for that? Because you have, like I said, you I mean, you have the NAACP that uses that phrase. So, and I don't think that Eli Crane from what I saw on Twitter, Eli Crane messed up saying, quote, colored people and quote, people of color. And that's apparently what, what is the difference? Oh, my gosh, they're like, they're not even hiding racism anymore. They're not even hiding racism. What? So apparently, they were saying that it's not he was, he was just mixing it.
I don't know. And doesn't the phrasing of what is or is not offensive change almost all the time? So what is the what's the presence of the preposition means?
What exactly? I want to break this down for a moment because I mean, now you Oh, my gosh, you have, like everybody from Jim McGovern, all these GOP is not even hiding the racism. I don't think that he's trying to be racist. And apparently, that's not what he was trying to do.
Seriously, because of a preposition of is a preposition of. So, people of color. Could you apply this to something else?
Like, you know, ice cream of strawberry, or strawberry ice cream? I don't know. Like is does that makes you know what I'm saying? One sounds like the days of your old English.
One of them actually sounds like back back in the day when they apparently when racism was way more blatant. So we got to talk like old English style Monty Python. This is a Monty Python episode. What the hell happened? Did we fall through a wormhole and end up in an episode of Monty Python? Wait, you forgot the preposition.
Without the preposition. It's basically a hard continent. Just saying. Any ideas? Any ideas? I mean, I have a genuine idea.
Nothing that's going to make fun of anyone. But I believe that they actually this their way of avoiding an actual debate, just like they've done with all kinds of other faux outrage. This they're avoiding the debate on this. So they can just scream racism to actually discredit the person's point that he was trying to make.
Oh, I completely agree with that. I also think that if you think the phrase that Eli Crane used, he said colored people. If that's offensive, I think people have colors offensive, isn't it? How is that not offensive then? It's like, people love vagina or vagina people like is there I'm just trying to figure you know what I mean?
I'm just it's a formula put different variables in. Jiminy Christmas, I hate everything. We're gonna sit here and argue about the whole idea of prepositions and whether or not I can't I can't deal.
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. All right. All right.
So first, I'm like still looking at some of these videos that are coming out from this forum and it's just devastating, devastating, devastating. Let's see here. This from dollars epic drop is sending the frunk and yen surging as traders are weighing which way they're gonna go in terms down the federal path comes from Yahoo Finance. And this has to do with a 14 month low in the US dollar rippling through global currency markets as traders are considering the impact of cooling US inflation on the Federal Reserve's most aggressive tightening cycle in a generation. It's the Swiss franc, by the way, that rose to the strongest level since 2015 against the US.
Japanese won climbed up more than 1% on the day to consolidate gains below 140 per dollar. The euro is up to $1.11. The British pound $1.30.
They're super strong. Gosh, I let's see outrage as the UK is handing China. Why? About $40 million in aid. Now this comes from a British public the British Express. Handouts come amid tense relations between the UK and the economy superpower.
It's sorry and Duncan Smith. He said it's time to stop giving China foreign aid. Why is Britain sending China any money at all? It's from the independent commission for aid impact.
They found that overseas aid to Beijing was about 48 million pounds. And they raised concern about any kind of lack of transparency in this at all whatsoever. Like where is the transparency? Why in the world would anybody know? Heavens, heavens.
Also a couple of other things. The Oh, George will do nobody listens to over at the Washington Post boldly predicts that neither Trump nor dissent is look at the GOP nomination. He's pulling for a neocon is what he's doing. So he's very just so you know that it's. He's once that the serial killer on Long Island has been arrested over.
How do you say this Jill? Gilgo Gilgo beach murders. And he was this was announced this morning. He's due in court. And he was arrested. I mean, he's like apparently was described as an average Joe, which goes to show you anybody can be evil. I mean, it's horrific.
59 year old married architect at a New York City firm. He was caught after DNA from the hair of a victim match that of his. And it was taken by a judge.
And it was taken by investigators from a discarded pizza crust in January. And he also went to school Billy Baldwin. He was arrested. He's one of the so called Jill ago or Gilgo for he's tied to the arrest of those women who were found wrapped in burlap within days of each other in late 2010.
And apparently there were other six who are being considered as a possible as being connected. But he's being described as a serial killer. The more I look at him, the more serial killer is he looks the Have you seen the Disney Snow White?
I love the people on the left who go to like these great pains to make. They're so offended by original stories that they go to great pains to make stupid remakes. And it seems like everything is a remake anymore, or sequel. So it's like technically a remake. And they go to these this great, these great links to redo films that are more in line with a Jacobin type society.
And I'm going to start using that phrase now I think instead of woke schools on Bastille Day because it makes so much more sense. I mean, it's completely appropriate. But then they get they think that you're overreacting if you remark about how much like it looks like hot trash. So they have these stills that are coming out from the new Snow White. I don't even know why they're remaking Snow White. I thought the one with what's her face, the chick who's all and she's the same character. And in every movie, what's her face? And her name's.
Right. She's in the vampire movie. Oh, the Twilight thing. She was wasn't she in one and it sucked out loud. And it was Charlize Theron who was in it. It was just Huntsman. Yes, Huntsman. That was horrible.
We don't need any. We're all still traumatized from that. So they're remaking this with Oh, what was this chick's name? She was in West Side Story. Wasn't she Rachel Ziegler?
She's great in West Side Story. So back a little bit ago, Peter Dinklage, who was in Game of Thrones, and I think he's a great actor. He was complaining. Because and I first thought that he was trying to be ironic, but he wasn't. He was upset because he didn't like the fact that Disney was remaking the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. And he said that it was an insult. Like, really, we're making this movie, you know, like this.
He's like, take a step back and look what you're doing here. You're progressive in one way, but you're still making a blanking backwards story about seven dwarves living in a cave together. And so I love how these other dwarf like other actors, what do you call them? Diminutive individuals? What do you call them? What is the acceptable phrase? So I don't get like firebombed?
What because everyone's overreacting anywhere? I thought it was dwarf. It's no I don't think it's actually they call it. That's not what they call them.
I'm pretty sure that's the that's not what is the phrase that is used. That's not that's like Lord of the Rings stuff. So it's not dwarf. I actually think, can I just say like, I've noticed, like my kids, they, you know, they think apparently that dwarves are like the be all end all. Like that's they're better than elves. They're better than any other fantasy character. Like that's the character that you want, because they're incredible. Like they're the best character. So I just you know, I actually think it's a compliment.
But anyway, one of the actors is a Dylan Postel. He and a whole bunch of, are they little people? Or is that a slur? I don't even know anymore. Everything's a slur. Diminutive individuals. I just want to illustrate how ridiculous language is.
We live in an Orwellian time. He said, I love what he said. He goes, quote, Peter Dinklage may be the biggest dwarf actor of all time, but it doesn't make him king dwarf. He was mad because he said that Disney re-aggressively examined the casting for this after Dinklage complained. And that Lorraine says it's little people. Okay, if I get hate, it's Lorraine's fault.
It's all her fault. So they he was mad because Disney wasn't actually casting little people. And apparently a lot of actors who are little people were very excited about the film and they wanted these roles. And I don't know if you can see we're so on the simulcast, we're showing one of the stills of the dwarves. They all look like hobos. And there's a chick in there. Well, there's not a chick. There are minors. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go. There are minors.
There's one little person in there. They're you know, they had to get one and then the rest of them are like, one of them's in a business jacket for the love. They look completely anachronistic. They look like they just shopped at Johnny Was and then they they decided to ramble on into the this field. They were just a Johnny Was looking at the new fall looks.
And then they they amble into this field. And so a lot of these actors are livid, because they said that Dinklage is being selfish. And he's being like once one actor said, quote, it makes me sick to my stomach to think there are seven roles for dwarves for dwarves that can't get normal acting roles or very few and far between roles. And now they're gone because of this guy. Wow. Another one said, quote, when he was cast as a little person role in Lord of the Rings or in Game of Thrones or an elf or this or that other thing, those checks cashed fine. But now he wants to be progressive.
Come on, man. Oh, he's totally right. All these actors are correct. This is the thing that I have like the biggest problem with is that because it's it's fantasy, you know, it's all about fantasy. Now, the other thing is that people are mad over Rachel Ziegler being cast, because she's Hispanic. And she's being cast as Snow White. And I guess Snow White is racist now.
I mean, it's a Northern European story. So, you know, I understand that it would be like putting in some respects. Okay, so here. We have like, um, with our mail and all of that we have to do our mail weird. We can't be like regular people and have mail sent to our home.
So we have like this whole service that we have to use. And the guy who runs the service super proud. Like I think he's one of the most patriotic people I've ever met. He's Asian American. I've never heard anyone rant about anything more in my life than film and films being remade and recast. And he had said as an example, for one thing, I think he was talking about Little Mermaid. He goes, it's like remaking Mulan and putting a white chick in it. I was like, Oh, my gosh, that actually makes sense.
He's right, though. I get it. I mean, and why do we have to remake? I mean, there's so many amazing stories from every different culture. There are so many movies from different cultures that no one or so many stories that people could make into really awesome movies that they're not I feel it's like laziness. I would love to see those brought to the screen, but they're not doing it. Ask Spotify wherever you get your podcast.
