A Florida Man dressed as a clown was taken down by officers for allegedly trespassing, and a congressman from Texas questioned the NPR CEO about her tweets on economic and cultural Marxism, white supremacy, and reparations, showcasing a different type of GOP style, one that is organic and cynical, rather than confrontational and performative.

Dana Lashes of Surd Truth Podcast sponsored by Kel-Tec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. This guy is 40 years old.

I'm sorry. He's 40 years old. This guy is supposed to be 40 years old.

He's 40 years over 20. Dude, Kane and I are freaking out over this. So a Florida Man dressed up as a clown was taken down.

I'm going to get through it. Florida Man dressed as a clown was taken down by officers for allegedly trespassing. And there's footage. It was Palm Bay. 40 year old Christopher Marlow was charged with trespassing after a warning. And he clashed with police officers. This was just the other day at a shopping plaza. And they said that he'd already been banned from the plaza prior to the incident. They were going to get him for a blanket trespass. He was yelling to himself, loitering and quote, serving no purpose on the property. He was described as aggressive. And he said, quote, I'm not trespassed. I'm going to come back.

Blank y'all. Oh, look at that. Yeah. And the Palm Bay Police Department shared a compilation of the body camera footage with the circus with circus music. And it showed his arrest.

And he's there. Now it says clown, but King clearly is that that's a looks like a Ronald McDonald outfit does. He balled up his fist and they said took a bladed stance and was challenging them to fight him. They go you look like a clown said one of the arresting officers and he says, quote, I am a clown. Okay, I guess his name's not happy. No, his name is.

And then he clearly was not going to comply when they asked for him to get his mugshot standing there with his mouth gaping open with his teeth. It's generous to make it plural. Yeah, his teeth. It's very generous. Oh, my gosh. All right. All right.

I got to move on. So we also have a Florida. Oh, I got the meth.

We had the meth underwear one already. This Florida man was accused of firing his rifle for target practice at his apartment after watching a military movie. Christopher Gaffney was accused 30 years old. He fired a rifle outside of his apartment complex. Apparently there were kids playing in the yard.

Not his kids, just some kids. He's facing charges. Apparently he was drunk. So they're saying that he was using it under the influence and he is currently in jail. He says I was watching a military movie and it made him want to get out and make a makeshift target out of a tree and all this and he made up fashioned up a target that he missed multiple times. He didn't hit anything. Not even in the target, thankfully.

So yeah, he's got in trouble for that.

No purchase necessary. Was watching this hearing, this back and forth between the head of NPR, which is a propaganda entity. Let's be real about it. And this, the head of NPR, Catherine Maher, who apparently, this is interesting, is described as also being chair of the board of directors at the Signal Foundation. Signal? Where have I heard that before? Well, the Signal Foundation is, it's an open source, private technology. That's what it is.

And it was, it's the app that interestingly enough, featured in the story this week came. Do you believe in coincidences as it relates to anything regarding politics? Because I don't. There is no such thing as a coincidence in politics. If you're in DC and you're like, huh, this seems like a coincidence. That's the equivalent of Neo seeing the cat, the same cat, which I, by the way, I thought that was a horrible way to do deja vu. That's not what deja vu was. And then my only criticism about the first Matrix. Remember where he had deja vu and he saw the same cat?

It's like, that's, that's the feeling. When things become too just coincidental and politics or anything related to DC, anything that is a red sign. It's a red flag. And she has been president of NPR for about a year now. She took over last year. And she's chair of the board of the Signal Foundation. I don't think that she stepped down. I mean, not at least that I've seen. So that seems to be problematic. She apparently also was an appointed member of the US Department of State's Foreign Affairs Policy Board, where she advises Secretary of State on tech policy.

Here's why I bring this up. She's one of those super woke scolds, right? Big time woke scold. According to her own tweets, she's one of those super woke scolds.

Big time woke scold. According to her own tweets. It's not like we're making this up about her just because she's at NPR. I mean, this is like according to her own actual tweets.

So she's this big woke scold. And she was before a House subcommittee yesterday testifying about this, you know, during examination in the wake of the US aid money and the waste, fraud and abuse. And she was testifying, answering questions from members of Congress. And it was really interesting because, you know, members of Congress are going to do their due diligence on her. And they're going to hurt her tweets. They're going to have looked or her posts on x rather. They're going to have looked at all this.

So I don't know why you would obfuscate or deflect or, you know, whatever it is. So she is a totally caught off guard. She's answering these questions in this subcommittee hearing. And this is after she had, you know, already come asking for more taxpayer dollars, etc.

And she got caught in a web of her own insanity. This is and I'm glad to see him doing this. Because I previously did not like the stunt with the thing, the $100 bill, whatever. And I'm like, Oh, we got to get serious about all this stuff.

This is exactly I think what Brendan Gill should be doing. He's a congressman from Texas, from my area. And it was his questioning. And this was really, I thought this was really good for a number of reasons.

Let me set this up. I think he's a millennial. But he has this borrowed Gen Z cynicism that you can only have gotten from being associated with Gen X. You know what I mean? There's this Gen X cynicism and a Gen Z delivery that I thought goes over really well here. It made me think of the ramen noodle guy. Remember the guy was munching just legit a package of ramen noodles. And he was correcting. What's his face Cuomo. I got those vibes from this.

Everybody has their own niche to fill and they have their own style. And I think if Gill keeps doing this, because he's a freshman congressman, I think if he keeps doing this, this is going to be a completely empty space that not many people can occupy. So he's there in the hearing. And I didn't pay too much attention to the stack of papers that he had literally right at his right side, until he lifted them up. Now it's a little long, but it's actually hysterical. The nuance in his voice. And then the way he kind of shrugs his eyebrows when he's questioning her. It's just comical.

It is hysterical. You need to watch this. Listen to how this exchange goes down.

Ms. Mar, I want to start with you just generally. Would you say you generally agree or disagree with the following statement? The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.

That's good to hear. It's interesting because a lot of your thinking as expressed by your public statements is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? I believe that I tweeted that. And I, as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It has evolved.

Why did you tweet that? I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say. Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? I don't believe that, sir. You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently the case for reparations.

I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. You tweeted about it. You said you took a day off to fully read the case for reparations. You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.

I apologize. I don't recall that I did. I have no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that.

Okay. Do you believe that white people inherently feel superior to other races? I do not. You tweeted something to that effect. You said, I grew up feeling superior.

How wide of me? Why did you tweet that? I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to be, to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages. It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior. I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir.

I was just reflecting on my own experiences. Do you think that white people should pay reparations? I have never said that, sir. Yes, you did. In January of 2020, you tweeted, yes, the North. Yes, all of us. Yes, America. Yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations.

Yes, on this day. I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. What kind of reparations was it a reference to?

I think it was just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to the people who came before us. My favorite part of this whole thing, there's two. The first one is he goes, he's holding up the paper and he goes, yes, you did. And then when he looks right at her and he raises his eyebrows, and he's like, so you think that people should pay?

It was hysterical. Why do I like this so much? I thought about this. Because normally, and I'm going to get yes, I'm going to get to the thing where he was, you know, the meat and potatoes, but he's actually questioning the NPR CEO, or president.

There's a reason why I like this so much. And I think that this stands out to me, because it's a different type of GOP. We have and I'm going to deep dive with you here for a second. So hold on with me. For the past eight years, and I'm not saying I don't like this style. But we've had this for the past eight years, a very confrontational, in your face, brawler type of messaging and response. And I get it because I'm one of the people who's been doing it since 2008. Before then, really.

So I get it. I think that there's a time for that. But I also think that many Republicans have forgotten how to play that. There's a time for it.

And many Republicans have forgotten that there is a time for it, that you just do it all the time. And with this attention economy, clickbait culture, that's rewarded. The more bombastic, and I'm not saying it's bad, but sometimes after a while, it seems performative. You know what I mean? It seems performative. It seems as though you're doing it for the purpose of theatrics rather than genuine out.

I mean, yes, you're outraged. But to that degree, I don't know. And not everybody in DC is a good enough actor. And I think that's why this stood out to me so much. Because it was so effective without trying to be.

There was not a perfectly polished, focused group soundbite that Gill delivered. And a lot of these lawmakers, they have their comebacks ready to go. And they got the cameras ready. And they know exactly they're going to pull this for some B-roll footage for a campaign ad.

They got it already. I didn't get that with this. It was very organic. And there was a sense, it almost met the measure of smarminess, but it didn't. He was respectful, but very cynical. It was one of those where, I mean, he would moot for the purpose of moving on. He'd go, okay. And then he would move on and ask the next thing. But it was the tone that he was tone. And the I mean, he was so he was well prepared. And I mean, him holding up that piece of paper was just like that ramen noodle, dude, man. Yes, you did. Yeah, you did. And he just shows her.

It was organic. And that made it hysterical. There is, I think this is what Republicans need to develop more. Because you have people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, very theatrical, Nancy Grace, very performative. I'm not knocking them. I'm just saying that's what that's they're very, very performative. Performative outrage. This here, what we see with Gil is organic, and almost like a Gen X brand of organic cynicism. And it plays so well. It's like Arrested Development meets Schitt's Creek. Right?

I think that's why I like it so much. Because he's not trying to like, Well, yeah, well, what? He's not trying to do that. He's just a cynic. And he's just sitting there like, Yeah, you did. And you know, it would say you will you believe reparations? He's got like this, this, like, tenor like grit in his voice.

It's very Gen X, but Gen Z delivery. Don't you agree, Cain? Isn't that I think that's why it works so well. And do you agree with my point about? I think we're getting tired of the over performative outrage theater. Yes, because all we've seen is Democrats do is turn the volume up on that. And it clearly is a turn off to most of the country. And Republicans respond by also turning up the volume. And then nobody gets any. You learned more about this woman in those two minutes and six seconds with that line of questioning, because he allowed her to talk.

He wasn't trying to like, but also you knew exactly who was leading whom here. There's no question. I think Republicans need to adopt more of this.

But I also think that I can't see Marjorie Taylor Greene doing this. And not an ounce of hyperbole. No, no hyperbole at all. That's right. All the Democrats use.

And some Republicans. That's why I'm like, I want to see more of this. Because that was hysterical.

Yeah, you did. That's hysterical. And I don't know why that's not like a meme. Because it's funny. It was funny. I watched it like three times.

It was hysterical. Yes, you did. Like, do you think white people should pay reparations? I never said that. Yeah. And holds out. Yeah, you did.

It's just funny. Folks who helped make it possible. It's our partners over at All Family Pharmacy, a great website. They've come and clutched for me many, many of times. And they also have all of the the antibiotics and medicines that especially those that I don't know some ideologies within our government tried to make it to where you couldn't access them. They've got the ivermectin, the hydroxychloroquine. They have over 200 medications, all of it, antibiotics, everything that you need, strep throat, bronchi, whatever you got, they've got medicine, they've got the medication for it.

They came and clutched for me. I told you over the I told you over the Thanksgiving holiday, and I had some stuff overnighted, which they do most of the shipping takes place in just two to four days. But you can do overnight in a pinch. Your health is always within reach and everything is super affordable. It's no insurance, no problem. They have straightforward pricing. The shipping's fast and easy online ordering fast and easy. And it's I one of the reasons why I love All Family Pharmacy. The other one is that all their stuff is made in the USA.

21 plus terms and conditions apply. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Variety reports that the first footage, I guess the trailer, it's the first trailer that they came out with has been released. They're still going to open that in theaters. This is after Alec Baldwin shot and killed Elena Hudgens, although he insisted a ghost pull the trigger, apparently.

And it's been released and they're going to go, I wonder if that's going to feature in their family's reality show where she pretends to be Spanish more the way. I have zero courtesy for them or for it. I just, it's just horrific.

This is unbelievable. I saw this headline this morning, a heartless dad crashed. This is actually a weird story because I've never heard of a dad doing this.

A heartless dad crashed at 100 miles per hour and then fled the scene, leaving his injured wife and kids behind. And it happened in Texas near Houston. It was a Chevy Avalanche, cut the speeding driving that he was driving, cut the speeding car off while turning into a gas station. And it got somebody off and they had an accident. And the Ford shot into the air. It was a family and a Ford expedition. That's the car that the dad was driving.

One of the children, an eight year old girl was ejected upon impact. The Chevy ended up in the guard rail. The father ran from his family without hesitation. According to the Houston police department, he sprinted off, jumped into another car and then drove him away from the horror crash. They said he ran over the babies. He jumped over the babies, the mom and everywhere, everybody, according to the driver of the Chevy. He said the mom was bleeding everywhere.

He said, I had no idea what was going through his mind at the time or why he felt like he needed to flee. The family was rushed to a nearby hospital. They're expected to survive.

Two of the three victims are in stable but critical condition. I helped the woman seeing a divorce lawyer. And yeah, I would absolutely straight up leave a man over that.

I don't, you're damn right I would. Oh boy. I bet what's weird is I never heard a dad doing this before. I have never heard a story. It's always the dad that like pulls the mom out of the wreckage. That's what's, and I literally, we've actually read stories like that. That's why this is so weird to me. What, did he like, I don't know. Was it planned? I don't know.

I want to, oh, I'm trying not to be like mystery science theater, murder mystery with us, but I really kind of want to be. Oh boy. You guys saw this video. The woman at our precious little airport, our little airport, which they've remodeled and it's all clean until this woman stripped naked and stormed through terminal D. Terminal D is like one of the craziest. It's an international terminal. So it's a big, crazy terminal because everybody, there's all the international flights. It's bigger than the others.

It's crazier than the others. She only had a plastic water bottle and she was screaming at nobody. And then, then she screamed, I speak all languages, but naked. And, uh, they did actually detain her. It just, uh, gosh, she wasn't a chunky. She wouldn't have chunk one. Normally they are.

She wasn't. So stick with us. We've got more in store. I don't know of any film now that's been out lately that I'm really excited to see. Like now you stream it. You don't rent it.

You just stream it further. I don't even hardly go to the theater anymore. And I love good films, but so much of it is garbage because it's just unimaginative.

It's derivative. It's just remakings of something else that was a remake of something else that was also a remake. It's just, it's insane. And I wanted to come back because there are further developments with this whole thing with the Snow White. So keep this in mind when Snow White came out, when that film first came out, I read that it was incredibly popular. Everybody wanted to see it. It was like their most, their Disney's, uh, their most iconic legacy title, I think was how it was described. And they merged like crazy off of it.

And think about it. You had, you had the Cinderella and they started doing all these, these other remakes, especially the live action remakes, which never translate well. And I don't know what it is, but Disney has a difficulty in picking actresses that can't shut the hell up. Like the chick who, the Hermione from Harry Potter, who was beauty from beauty and the beast. I'm one of those people that think if you're going to be casting in roles like that, you need to live up to the hype. I mean, she's pretty, but is she like beauty from beauty and the beast? No, you're telling me that there's no, but they want a name, right?

Although I don't think that maybe they're gonna have to reevaluate it. I just think that they should, maybe if your name is beauty and you're a Disney princess, maybe be beautiful. You know what I'm saying? It's not hard to, I'm not being mean, stop it. I stop it. I'm well aware of my own limitations and shortcomings.

I'm saying I can also point them out in others. So I just think maybe you'd be beautiful if you're, and if you're going to be Snow White. She will not apparently be quiet on social media. And I've seen a lot of debate, this Rachel Zegler girl.

Will people say, oh, she's like this 21 year old girl. You know, it's so mean that the studio executives put her in this position. And then someone commented on the Instagram account of apparently the son of the producer, of the Snow White producer. Mark Platt is the producer of Snow White. He's like the exact producer. His son, Jonah Platt, someone made that exact comment that I was talking about on his social media account.

And he went off. He said, this is what the comment was. Because Mark Platt was one of the, was the dad apparently that flew to New York to talk with Rachel Zegler. The commenter said to Jonah Platt about his dad, quote, your dad flew to New York City to reprimand a young actress.

Any words on this? Because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have the right to free speech.

No shame on your father. Jonah Platt writes, you really want to do this? Yeah, my dad, the producer of an enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting a movie for which she signed a multimillion dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This is called adult responsibility and accountability and her actions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want, your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires and at the risk of all of her colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.

He added, and I thought this was chef's kiss, narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged. He made a good point because a lot of people were coming out and saying, oh, well, Rachel Zegler, who would not, she was the chick who came out, was like, Trump supporter. What did she say?

Basically, Trump supporters go to hell, don't see my movie or something like that. I don't even remember what she said, but it was something so stupid and ridiculous. And then she just kept, she's like, vote Kamala. And then she said, free Palestine and all the stupid, which doesn't exist.

So how can you free it? So, and she, her behavior, especially over Gaza, this chick who was born again, why are all of these trust fund socialists? They're born rich, like the Jasmine Crockett, the Rachel Zegler, they all come from money. They grew up with money. That's why they're in the films and the movies and all where they are, because they had all of these opportunities that their mommy and daddy's money bought them. And so she's like, so far removed from what's happening in the Middle East.

The closest that she came to it was probably a history class she took in school while she was being tutored on set. Let's get real. But they were making her sound like she's like this helpless and just this helpless little kid, right?

Which is so far from the truth. If you're 20 and 21 years old, dear heavens, I had my own roof over my own head when I was 21 years old. And I didn't grow up in the Great Depression. Okay.

I was, I'm baby Gen X. I was a 90s kid. So I can't stand this spinning that, oh, I can't, you can't be responsible if you're this, you know, you're this old and you can't, you know, you can't, you can't do any of this. I find that so, that's not an excuse. And also, when you're in the position that she's in, you have an agent, you have a manager, you have somebody that's special that looks over your finances. You have, goodness, you're obviously your parents and your family and all of these people around you. When you sign a contract, you have your manager look at it, your agent, she's got a manager and an agent. So you have all of those people, probably an extra, you know, an attorney, your own attorney, all of these people that are advising you on what to do, the decisions to make, and also how to act. And this idea that she's just out there floating in the ether with no guidance or direction, and that's what's intimated by this is pretty, it's asinine.

So she has a team of people that work with her. When you're signing multimillion dollar contracts to be in movies, you're doing a job. 20 and 21 year olds are not children. They're grown people.

Stop infantilizing people as a way to excuse them of their bad behavior. She's just an entitled mouthy brat. And it's starting to look cringe because you can't be a brat anymore when you're 20 or 21. You're a grown ass woman. Stop it.

Either be empowered or be a baby, but pick a lane. So now she's feeling the full weight of these consequences of her actions. And, you know, there, and apparently like the there's all this stuff leaking out like the set energy was real bad. And apparently her behavior with regards to Gaza was so bad. Gal Gadot started getting death threats like crazy because Rachel Zegler wouldn't, apparently according to what Vanity Fair and everybody else was saying, she wouldn't stop running her mouth. And as a result, endangered her co-star who's a mother of four. I mean, she also literally just had a baby. So I don't know if you saw that came out.

I have that on my substack that I sent out to you subscribers. So she, you know, she was getting tons of death threats from what this crazy stuff that her co-star was saying. And that's kind of, that's, that's, how do you, she had extra security when she was going out, just, just preparing and promoting the film. And I don't think a lot of people gave that enough attention.

I mean, that's, that's, you know, that's, that's that's pretty unbelievable. And they were trying to say, Oh, well, there's, there's controversy also. And by they, I mean, the press, Oh, there's controversy also because of Gal Gadot. There was no controversy because of Gal Gadot. She's Israeli. That's, you know, she's not controversial just because she's Israeli. So I, I, I don't know. I, she just won't stop talking.

Audio Sunbite 19. She just won't stop talking. And to everyone who hates when I win, the wind victory came to the Louvre in pieces, and people still line up to see her. She's such a bad actress.

And I can only hope that despite my flaws, dramatic, and despite my cracks and the breaks, and there are many of them cliched words and cliched acting that at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see. They're not the, no one's literally nobody's there in the theater. So she rented out a whole theater for herself, didn't she?

Or was that what I read? Or she probably didn't have to, it was money wasted. Nobody's going to see it. They're all empty.

Yeah. Nobody's going to see it. She just seems that she's like an avatar for the liberal mentality. And apparently nobody in her life is directing her any different.

And that's really a letdown by her management and her agent. When, when you have Disney executives meeting with you telling you, can you stop promoting Hamas? And yeah, when you're out there saying, you know, free Palestine, that's exactly what you're doing. Palestine's a fake place that doesn't exist. Hamas is a terror group.

And the people that voted for Hamas are terrorists too. If you don't know enough about an issue, we don't, we have a vain society that thinks that it doesn't matter if they don't know enough about a particular issue. The world deserves their opinion anyway.

We deserve the burden of these dumbass' opinions. They think it doesn't matter if they don't know. She doesn't know. And think about it. You have Disney executives flying across the country because you're running a mouth about a foreign policy, ongoing conflict, and then you are attacking half of the country, half of the country's voters, going after and maligning people who voted one way. And she wouldn't take anything down. And then when it was like a half-hearted kind of apology, not really an apology, some were saying, oh, well, you know, you can't, you shouldn't cancel this girl.

You shouldn't, you shouldn't go. This is not about cancellation. Please don't use words that you don't understand.

Because then we all have to take time out of our day and correct it. This is about accountability. Don't mistake for the purpose of deflection, accountability with cancelability.

They're two entirely different things. You don't get a pass on your stupid actions by screaming cancel, don't cancel me as some sort of like inoculation. That's not how this works. If you do something stupid, yeah, you tend to have to reap the consequences of that something stupid.

It's not, like I said, difficult. So that's what this is. You're not immune from consequence. And this wasn't about free speech. No one stopped her from saying it. They're just not protecting her from the consequences of her own choices. And that's what a lot of these people that scream about free speech, particularly foreign students who are here, who are acting and out in ways that violate the agreements of their permission to visit, no one's stopping anybody from saying anything. But there is a consequence to being stupid and demanding that you being protected from the consequence of the stupid thing that you did or said. That's not free speech.

You're just demanding a pass. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
