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. A Florida man was visiting the Big Apple. This was in November but the court case apparently was ongoing because he sued. The guy, Steven Goodman of Florida, was visiting the Big Apple on November 15th when he sustained serious injuries, guys, because of a negligently placed display.
It sat above a staircase and handrail in court papers is what he said. It was a Victoria's Secret display and he had to have medical care because he apparently fell down the stairs because he was too busy looking at the dummy's boobs. That's what happened. He was looking at dummy boobs and he fell down the stairs. That's what happened. He was like, these negligently placed boobs, I mean display. That's what happened.
That's what his face looked like when he said it. He fell. It sat above a staircase and handrail and he was too busy looking at it.
It was their flagship store on Fifth Avenue. He was too busy looking at it and so he fell. And he had to have medical care. He said it was a dangerous trap-like condition. Yeah, some will say that. Some will say that indeed. Oh my gosh. Let's see here.
Oh, let's see. This Florida man, NBC, was sentenced for life because he killed a man over dog do. And then he confessed in an angry way. Omar Rodriguez fatally shot Jose Rey following a dispute about Rey's dog defecating on Rodriguez's son's lawn. So it wasn't even Rodriguez's lawn. It was his son's lawn, according to authorities.
South Florida man. He was sentenced to life in prison. It was a 2015 murder, but now they're in court and Omar Rodriguez was yelling at Lisette Rey. She was married to Jose Rey and Rodriguez shot the guy over the dog defecating on his son's lawn because apparently the neighbor wasn't intervening, wouldn't stop it, wasn't cleaning it up. And in court, his wife was, the widow was crying, right? And so Rodriguez just loses it and in court screams, the coward was your husband. That's why I killed him.
He cried like a baby. Why would you, why would you kill a guy? Well, I mean, you know, this is a guy who kills somebody over dog do. He's going to get prison justice over that. Dude, he's just so going to get prison justice over this so that his attorney was, I can you imagine his attorney just like, why are you? Yeah. He's like, yeah, I did it. Yeah.
And good night. A Florida man doctor forgot his hearing aid and couldn't hear the patient screaming during a colonoscopy that actually happened. It's over at the Tennessee.

Speaking of DEI, Harley Davidson, you know, Harley Davidson got itself into some trouble. Harley Davidson, of all the things that you would think are like not DEI, but they did. They had their CEO. He was talking about embracing wokeness and DEI. And he was at this the Rockefeller Leadership Award event. And he was saying that they were going to just admit they just that that event says they're all about dismantling systems that create the most urgent problems of our time, social injustice and climate change. And he went out there and was saying that they wanted to be as diverse as we could possibly be as a brand and a business.
And I celebrate diversity, inclusion. And that's one of the reasons why I took the job, because I believe, you know, blah, blah, blah. He was like going on and on and on about DEI and all of this. And so there was a lot of controversy as a result. So now they've they tweeted this out a little earlier today because this is what happened with Tractor Supply and then John Deere and then now Harley Davidson. So they tweet. I'm not going to read the whole statement, but they tweeted out this statement saying they commit they're committed to listening to all the members of their community just by just they're just buying a damn bike.
OK, so. So they said, blah, blah, blah, joy, motorcycling, 120 years, blah, blah, blah. We're saddened, they said, by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks designed to divide the Harley Davidson community. So they're saying that the reaction was designed to divide the Harley Davidson community. Not the fact that their CEO was out there talking about, you know, DEI alphabet, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and bending the knee. They said, as a company, we take this issue seriously. It's our responsibility to respond with clarity.
We initiated an internal stakeholder review to better align company activities to the needs of both our business and community. So they said that we're committed to the following diversity and equity and inclusion, DEI. They wrote, we see it as every leader's role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers. How about you just have employees that you hire based on merit and not they should reflect the employees that you hire should reflect the work ethic of your company and wanting to work hard for your customers. And it shouldn't be based on things that people don't control.
Skin color, where they come from, all of that stuff. That's irrelevant. It should just be merit. They said that we do not have, they say in their statement, quote, that said, we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024 and we do not have a DEI function today.
We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals, end quote. OK, credit where due. Credit where due.
And then the other stuff I don't care about. So it looks like they're backing off of that. That's a good thing. Right.
I like it when they look like you got to be open to reconciliation, folks. I like it that they said that they went way further than Bud Light ever did in terms of walking it back. They didn't they didn't bring out a dude cosplaying as a chick and do a pantomime of women. Right.
They didn't do woman face in an ad. But I still think it's important that, you know, you got to be the DEI stuff is absolute Marxism. So I think this is good. Their CEOs got to go, I think.
Don't you agree, Cain? I'm seeing a statement they had two hours ago that they said they're still committed to DEI. Well, that's what I'm reading off their thing. But did you read the whole statement? I just read it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, but I'm just saying we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024 and we do not have a DEI function today.
We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spindles. But that's contradictory to what they say they're still committed to is my point. That's why it's such a it's like a contradictory statement almost to me. It's I don't know. I don't know if it's as contradictory.
It's like they're playing both sides almost or trying to. They said that they're they're committed to, I guess, what is it, their customers. And but they said that they don't have a DEI, I guess. Well, I don't know what DEI function means. What does that even mean? Like a DEI department?
Like a DEI position? What were like chief diversity officers? What some of these companies have. But I'm looking at the statement that they tweeted just a little bit ago.
So anyway, I this is what I don't get. Why do you have companies like for the love John Deere? They make game tractors. Why does your tractor company have to go out and make a statement?
Oh, yeah, we're totally fine if you have a penis and you want to pretend not to. Like what do you why do you have to even get into all this stuff with DEI? Why do you have to get into the racial stuff that the trains? Why do you have to do any of this?
Sell bikes, sell tractors, sell farm supplies. Why do you have to get in? Because the people that are doing this are not buying your products anyway. They just hate you because you're an iconic American brand. And this is cultural. This is like what we saw Mao's Cultural Revolution, where they would go and destroy all of the tenants of their Chinese culture to replace it with Marxist symbolism. That's exactly what this is. They just call it something different. That's why they go after these certain businesses.
You know, the free, asterisk, economy of the United States. They're going after these iconic American brands, brands that were built around telling the story of who and what the United States is. You know, they are they are free spirited motorcycle enthusiasts.
They're, you know, they're farmers, they're ranchers, they're you know, they work the land. They all tell the story and they go after these icons. And much like you see with people tearing down statues, they want to tear down these icons. And so now all these businesses, as a veneer of protection that they got to put up, do this stuff. And it's just dumb.
What does DEI have to do at all with riding motorcycles? Nothing. So why do you have to wade into it? Your CEO is a moron.
Why do you have to go out and say this stuff? Why do you open up not just your brand, but all of the people who have worked so hard to make your brand what it is. What about the people who save their money and they get their first Harley Davidson and then your CEO walks on stage, bends over and spreads his cheeks apart for fun. You know, as a show to the audience, look how debased I can make myself.
I'm going to sit here and do a performative act for this Mouse Cultural Revolution 2.0. It's exactly what this is. The CEO literally was on stage helping to bust down his own company's brand. And for what?
What return off of that debasement are you expected to get? You got all these people, like I said, that worked and stayed and they got Harley Davidsons. And the CEO just went out there and took a sledgehammer to the brand. And now these people are looking at their bikes that they were so proud to own.
It was an icon representative of American culture, representative of no boundaries, freedom. And now they're looking at their purchase like, wow, and they're not feeling great about it. The people who are making them do this are not shareholders. The fact that they did this shareholder survey after the fact is insane to me. So you have the CEO that goes out there and is like, yeah, just bust up the brand with a sledgehammer. Oh, and then we'll do our shareholder review. And guess what?
The shareholders were like, uh-uh. Stop it. Clearly. This is so dumb. But this is what this is.
They want to enforce Mao's cultural revolution through business and financial institutions. That's what it's all about. I mean, I was reading the statements of some of these people. They're like, I'm not proud to ride my bike anymore. You know, this is made in the USA. We were proud to ride it. You know, it was leading the world again with manufacturing motorcycles. I mean, you're. And then they started offshore manufacturing.
I mean, there's all kinds of. They said that they. They I think they said that they moved away for it and they don't have an official position, but they I will agree with you, Canaan, that they didn't say we hate DEI or we are never going to adopt DEI. It just seems like they're playing both sides like, oh, look, look what we said here. Yeah, but if you read between the lines, the shareholders clearly did not like it. That is absolutely true. Because Bud Light never put out a statement like this.
So I don't know. I was telling a friend about this, the lightest, thinnest double stack nine millimeter on the market. So I got a friend that was looking for a new concealed carry pistol and I was telling him about the P15. And it's literally the lightest, thinnest thing that's out there. And of course, you know, Caltech, they are the creators, the inventors of the micro compact pistol category, the whole category. It is so great for concealed carry.
This thing is literally it. Well, it is approximately one point two seven inches wide, four inch barrel. It is the smallest, thinnest double stack nine millimeter on the market. Fifteen round capacity. It ships with two magazines. You got the standard 15 round with a minimal pinky extension.
And then you also have the 12 round as well. A flush fit double stack magnets, 12 round. Tridium and fiber optic front sight.
You got the fully adjustable fiber optic two dot rear. Striker fire reliability. Great trigger pull and lifetime warranty, of course. Polymer and metal version. I have both. I like the polymer version.
I did. I had I think I've had more range time with the polymer version, but I do love that metal version. Because it's bougie looking in an old school classy James Bond kind of way. You got that walnut grip on the side and it's this party.
It's a party gun. That's the one I wouldn't want to get in the muck. You know, like that one. That one's nasty. That's your fancy going out concealed carry.
You know what I mean? So you've got to check it out. Innovation performance and Caltech. American company, American made. We need more companies like them.

It's time for Dana's quick five. So 30 electric scooters were pulled out of a river in Ohio as a part of an effort to keep Cincinnati beautiful. The sergeant who works with the police units as they train in the water once a month that they didn't expect to make, you know, have this discovery this particular month. They said it was under the Ridge Street Bridge. People were walking the path, the bike path, and they were like, why are there so many electric scooters down there?
People have been dumping them, apparently. That's kind of crazy. San Francisco's Millennium Tower. The owners could face a ten thousand dollar fine for open windows, open windows. They said that at the wrong time, not just open windows, but open windows at the wrong time. The tower's apparently leaning and sinking and has been dealing with separate window problems dating back to before February of 2020. And that's when an open window broke free in high winds and plunged from the 41st floor of the high rise.
No one was injured, but they had to install a stronger support system secured to open windows. And basically nothing's been changed. I'm just surprised that if like windows fall off, but nothing's. That's kind of shocking. That is really shocking.
And that it's sinking. That's crazy. That's a super.
That's a high rise. That's crazy. So let's see. Now they're telling you don't run your dishwasher at night. It's dangerous. And do so at your own peril.
Apparently can cause your home to start a fire. I do that all the time, though. I literally run my dishwasher like at night. And by the way, isn't that when they tell you you're supposed to run this stuff is at night?
I literally did it last night. Yeah. Yeah.
So they it's like, you know, that's the routine for a lot of people. But apparently one woman's dishwasher caught fire. And as a result, it's probably, you know, like probably the wiring or so. I just don't think that that's it can catch fire essentially any time. So you know what I'm saying? I don't know. That just seems just I don't know.
I don't think that you're in any more danger than if then you would be if you ran it any other time. Let's see. Three billion people compromised from a national public data leak. Social security numbers, a massive data breach. Three. Great. Three billion people.
I'm sure everybody's affected at this point. They said that the MPD, the National Public Data, they resell collected personal data for background checks. They sell you. Confirmed a data breach, leaked names. I think if they're selling you and especially if they're selling your information and you didn't specifically tell them that you can sell them, they can sell. They can sell your information that you should be able to sue them if something horrible happens to you because of their negligence. So they had apparently they have stolen data and people are selling it on the dark web. They have a security incident page where they were said a third party bad actor got into their got into their system. And now they have all now they have this huge leak and they said they're cooperating with law enforcement. They don't know how many people have been infected or of any compensation, you know, especially if you're wiped out because of a data theft.
Good heavens. Also, Manitoba Health Authority admits to an error that led to a burial mix up. A family buried the wrong person.
Not like they didn't know that they were doing this in Winnipeg. They didn't know it. But apparently they're trying to figure out how the family received and buried the remains of the wrong individual. It's not their family member. So they launched an internal investigation.
The company that was responsible to try to make sure it doesn't happen again. That's kind of crazy. They and they then they found that there was gaps on how remains were tracked in and out of the morgue. And yeah, that's that has to that probably doesn't help with grief very much to have something like that happen.
Like when you're you know, you're grieving the loss of a loved one. And a man was accused of stealing a Yellowstone National Park vehicle while drunk. Yeah, this is a Virginia man. He was he stole a truck near Old Faithful while totally drunk out of his wits. And he ended up going to jail. But it was a heavy wrecker.
It was near Old Faithful Lodge and he was driving one way wrong way down a one way road. Yeah. Stay with us, guys.
I'm sending you the platform. So, yeah, they have Biden's second term. That's on page 66 in President Biden's second term. I think they're trying to scrub it.
Yeah, they only got like 45 pages. They got Biden's second term, second term, second term. They say Biden's second term once and then they get into second term, second term, second term all throughout the platform. So it's Biden's platform that this isn't even Kamala Harris.
She's just an avatar. This is not even Kamala Harris's platform. They took Biden's platform and they just sloppily put Kamala's name on it.
It wasn't even his, really. It was, you know, Valerie Jarrett. And they took they just took it and handed it over to Kamala Harris.
This woman is not none of these ideas. This is what they're doing. Can we please, dear heavens, can you show me the gas station?
This is what they did over the weekend. Sorry, Juan, because I'm going to go back to this. I'm going to go back to the Juan's dying. I'm going to go back to the platform.
But this is what Kamala Harris was doing with Tim Walz. Wait a minute, Steve, what gas station is this? Sheets. Sheets. OK, we'll roll with that.
They said it, not me. Go to the sheets, please. Oh, Dougie, there they are. Oh, my gosh, this is so stupid. Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Hold up. I'm confused because there's another clip of Tim Walz finding the Doritos for her. Who found the Doritos? Was it Dougie or was it Timmy? Because there's another clip where Walz does. Oh, here are the Doritos.
And makes a big deal about fine. They filmed this damn thing twice, didn't they? They filmed it twice. Yes, they filmed it twice. Juan's getting this video ready.
Guys, how? Wait, what is this? So Doug finds the Doritos and then there's another video where Walz is in there. And he's like, and then he tweeted it out. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Oh, no. Yeah, he tweeted it out.
Oh, that he that he found him for. Watch this. Watch this video.
Watch this. So Tim Walz in the first video that Juan showed is staring literally right at Kamala Harris being given a bag of Doritos. And then in the second video, he goes in for Doritos for her for the cameras. He tweeted it.
Yeah, he did. So he tweeted it out and said, quote, Every road trip needs a snack break. Doritos acquired. I got you at Kamala Harris. You could choke on the beta energy. You could just choke to death. And what gets me I could watch the replay.
OK, so just you know what? Just show the video one, if you would, without sound of Tim Walz. The video that he has in his tweet, because there's something very interesting that happens in this video. So as Tim Walz is handing over very performatively the Doritos to Kamala Harris, Doug is standing right next to her with his own bag of Doritos. And he looks at them like, well, I want you to watch this.
And here's Tim Walz. He's handing the bag over if you're watching the simulcast. And then there's Doug looking at. He's like, there's my Doritos, though. What's this?
What is this? It's a Doritos off. This is so goofy. I can't even handle it.
If only we rehearsed this staged moment. I thought, well, I wonder if they got into a fight after who I was supposed to hand the Doritos to her. No, I was going to hand the Doritos to her. I found the Doritos first. No, I was going to handle the Doritos. I put it up on X. I found the Doritos. Oh, my gosh.
This is so awkward. So she's got two bags of Doritos. Who's got the bigger bag? Two bags. Oh, man, I can't. How much were they, though? I mean, most people probably couldn't afford to just go get two bags of Doritos because they're broke. That's why. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth podcast.
