Speaker 1: Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time for
Florida man. Oh my gosh, this is a real, actual headline.
A Florida man was arrested after his fifteen month old
daughter ate his freshly rolled joint sat deputies. Yeah, uh,
what in the world. This was in Benell, Florida. His
fifteen month old daughter, Florida man was arrested. She had
to be hospitalized. She ate the Apparently she ate the
whole thing. They said she was hospitalized. I don't know,
I don't know, like what, Yeah, he went on. There
couldn't have been in marijuana if she had to go
to the hospital. I think. The man reported to police
that his niece's child was visiting her father at his
home and had to be taken to a local hospital.
The house was in complete disarray. There was dog feces
and you're on all over the floor, garbage throughout, nails
in the floor. Air conditioning wasn't working. Yeah, well, I'm
immediately like, screw the weed right now. There's no ac
in this house, and it's Florida and its June, they
said Spiegel Halter that's his name, Cody spiegel Halter. He
was at home. He had rolled a joint for himself,
put it down when to use the restroom, and that's
when his fifteen month old daughter grabbed it and ate it.
And then they said that there was Now here's why
I think that there was mushrooms. And they said, thhca wax.
I don't know what that does in plain view? Really yeah,
so they had like shrooms in that in plain view.
So maybe there's something I don't know, but they they
she was taken to the hospital. Then they sent her
to a pediatric hospital for treatment. So to your point, Kane,
there was something else in that. Something else was in
that besides just especially if they had all of these
other things out on the table. So he was arrested
for child neglect without great bodily harm. He's still in
Flaker County jail in twenty five thousand dollars bond. Wow. Wow, wow.
Let's see here, this Florida man stole money from a
twelve year old who was selling snacks Christmas. What is
up with people? So this is in Tampa. If Florida
man robbed a twelve year old Miami Dade boy he
was trying to raise money through his snack selling business.
WFLA reports Noel Prince started the Caveman snack Shack a
year ago to save money for his football and other stuff.
And he said, he goes, I wanted to be independent
on my own. And he goes because one day I
knew my mom wasn't going to be here. He's twelve
years old. He was going to a seven to eleven
where he sets up shop when fifty nine year old
Michael Hughes ran up and stole his bag, which contained
forty dollars. Police say Prince chased Hughes, who took the
money out of the bag for tossing the bag and
a rock at the twelve year old, and Prince goes,
I don't know. I think he just needed the money
real bad, but that it's not how you earn money.
This kid is going to be a business owner. He's
got capitalists, yay. He said he still plans to run
his business, but he's going to be more carefully. He
goes and put my money my money bag at the
back from now on, and I'm not going to have
money in the bag when we go out. So the
other guy's facing charges of robbery and aggravated battery. You
rob at twelve year old, I deserve to have your
eight double snakes kicked. Good heavens. This woman in Costa Rica.
Can you imagine like being on vacation and you think
you get what you think is like a chatchkey, and
it actually is like a has historical value, and then
you get in trouble for it. So this Tampa mother,
she was in Costa Rica and she, you know, got
flaged by customs on her way home. She had just
gone into a souvenir store and she paid forty dollars
for what she thought was just a piece of pretty pottery.
And so she's going through customs. Is already get uncomfortable.
She's going through customs and they stop her and they go,
is this a pre Columbian artifact? Like? First off, how
do you know that? How do you look at a
piece of powder? Are you a like a pre Columbian
art history? Like? You know? Yeah? And she she said
she was shocked, the woman Christine Merrold, and she said,
I paid for this in a souvenir store forty dollars.
I didn't understand. And they said she had to sign
paperwork pay a fine, and they said that they had
she had to give them a restitution. She tried to
call the US embassy, nothing like that. I mean, it
was like a big ordeal and she finally was able
to get home. But now she it sounds kind of
like a racket, if I'm being honest. But they took
her into custody for a period because they told her
that it was like a piece of like some kind
of pre Colombian artifact, and they confiscated some stuff from
her and she was just shocked. That is kind of
unnerving because like you think that, like if it's a
straw market or something, and you think like you're supporting
local artisans, like what you know? Now, come on as
we move our partners that help bring you free radio.

You can watch us on x Rumbles where the chat
is channel thirty to forty seven Direct TV also at substact,
chapter and verse. If you turn away a migrant, it
is a grave sin, saith the Pope is that is new,
it is new. It's all over everywhere it was, he said.
Working to turn away migrants, working to turn migrants away
from peace and security in a new country is a
grave sin. He said, okay, hmm, that's the sin. So
countries with laws have sins. I mean, give to Caesar
what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's.
But that might be a sin. I mean, it's only
in the Bible and all. Yes, he says, if you
were if you are rejecting mys and you're blocking their roots,
it is a grave sin. Uh. And this was part
of his address, his weekly address on Wednesday, and he
I think he was in the Vatican when he said this.
So is are we sending them all to the Vatican? Now?
Is that what it is? I mean, let's just put
it to the test, right, Yeah, he said, quote working
to turn migrants away from the prospect of peace and
security in a new country is a grave sin. It
needs to be said clearly. There are those who systematically
work by all means to drive away migrants, and this,
when done knowingly and deliberately, is a grave sin. He
was in Saint Peter Square. But you got to go
through a lot of security to get into by the way,
I mean, you have to go through a ton of
security to get into the Vatican and to go see
all the beautiful artwork that's in there. You know, they
lopped off all the h statues male copulatory organs because
it was considered so they got a room full of
like statue dong somewhere. I would imagine I'm not I'm
just saying what I'm talking about, Art Kine. I just
don't know why the expectation of following law when entering
a sovereign nation is a sin. This is what I'm
talking about. This is what is angering me to the
nth degree, and I keep seeing it popping up in churches,
and this Pope is no exception. This is wrong by
the way. I mean, follow the law. If you're not
following the law, is that not a sin? Is that
not also a sin? If you're not following the law.
If you are breaking into someone's home, is that not
a sin? If you're breaking into another country, is that
not a sin the way that these people present it.
And I feel like some and especially there are a
lot of church leaders out there, and I haven't turned
away from my faith at all, and I'm not going
to stop going to church, but I'm I'm we're in
the process of determining whether or not we're staying at
our church or we're leaving. We didn't go last Sunday.
We didn't attend it because I didn't really appreciate, you know,
a church leader telling people that they wanted a safe
and fair border and I don't even know what that means.
What is what do you mean a fair border? Why
don't you just say something smart like let's have you know,
lawful orderly crossings. Let's just do that. And you know,
when I look at what this pope is is saying,
it's not unlike what you know my pastor was saying
a couple of weeks ago. And my pastor didn't go
so far as to say it was a sin, but
he walked right up to the line. He was right
there toes to the line. If you turn away people
were coming at the border, it's a sin. Well, I've
been to the border. I've been to the border several times.
I've been down there to the processing centers, I've toured them.
I have been down there at the bank of the
rio looking at the shell casings from when cart were
firing fifty cows at our border agents. I went and
I saw the photos of children who had been dumped
on the banks of the rio and rescued by border
patrol because the loopholes, the Flores Agreement Amendment, all of
that exploited by the cartels to fast track people who
are able to get a part of that rented kit operation.
I've seen all of this stuff, all of the horrors
that this creates, All of the rumors that you've heard
about the border are true. It's horrifying. And the innocent
people who live in these border communities that are predominantly Hispanic,
they're preyed upon. So I've just noticed that these religious leaders,
all the people who say this, they're all white religious leaders,
and I kind of question what they did in their youth.
I called up one very well known, very well known
I don't want to put him on blast, although I
think I have written about it. I did write about
it my book Grace Canceled. But I called up one
very well known religious leader who had, during lockdown, conducted
a Sunday service in their parking lot when they couldn't
go indoors, and they bent that they had did the
whole bend kneything. And I called him and I said,
I just I'm curious as to your angle here, and
he was. He was clearly taken aback and he was like, well,
I don't understand what you mean. And he was very nice,
and I feel in some respects like he felt like
he was doing it out of the goodness of his
heart in a way. And he was saying, well, you know,
when I grew up in East Texas, I saw a
lot of very different things. And he's old enough to
be my father. And I said, look, I go, you
need to understand something. When my generation was growing up,
and very specifically me, I didn't have this racial animosity
that you all talk about. I didn't see it. It
was not a part of our lives. And it wasn't
because we didn't see it or didn't know what it was.
We were everybody was friends. Everybody was we were all friends,
black and white and Asian. Everybody went to everybody's houses.
Until the Marxist realized that maybe, just maybe they would
have a better advantage using things like culture and different
sexual orientations as the wedge more so than socioeconomic statuses,
and that's what they grab that's what they pivoted to.
And then all of a sudden, there was all of
this animosity where there had not been animosity before. There
was hard there were hard feelings and uh lines drawn,
and it had not been like that when we grew up.
And I was telling this very famous pastor, I said,
why are you trying to yoke younger generations to your
moral failings? Your generations or your specifically moral failings. If
you've done something in your life, why should I or
anyone else have to be yoked to it. I go
as a shepherd. You're building resentment in the hearts of
your flock. Do you not see this? And you're creating
a hurdle to worship. It really made me angry, and
as a mother, it enraged me to have my kids
sit there during Sunday service and be told that if
they didn't want to free for all at the border,
then they were somehow sinful, intimating that they were sinful.
Isn't that? Aren't you bearing false witness upon their characters? Preachers,
if you don't want to turn people away from organized religion,
then stop doing the devil's work. I just it's sad
and it's infuriating. I know our churches are under attack,
and I know that pastors are fallible people. I know this,
But you work against the devil, not with him. When
you're talking about these things from the pulpit, and if
you don't know it enough, then don't bring it up
at the pulpit. I've literally sat there in church service
before and I heard my pastor talk about how more
black people are shot by cops every year than white people.
I'm like, that's actually a lie. I can tell where
you go and you get your information for your sermons
without even you telling me. I know where you go.
I wrote an email and I had receipts from the DJ,
from the FBI, local law enforcement from around the country.
You can even divide it up in regions. It's just
absolutely factually incorrect, which, by the way, was my only
beef with everybody taking a knee with the NFL. I
don't mind peaceful protest. My problem was they were doing
it based on a lie. That was all my only objection.
And when I heard my pastor and I know it's
a lie because I've looked at the numbers they're available
on this thing called the Internet that the Good Lord
gave us to use as a tool. I mean, enough
people use the Internet to go and lecture about what
they think the facts are, but not enough of them
actually use it. To go and look at what the
facts are. I sent all this stuff in an email
and that's when I got like one little response back
like oh well, thank Giah, blah blah blah. So I
was like, Okay, I'm gonna have grace, and I'm having
grace by not name checking. And I have said things privately,
and we have made overtures and we've had we have
reached out and done all of this stuff, and I'm
just it's you know, And to see the Pope say this,
I'm not a fan of the Pope because I think
he's a socialist and I think socialism is antithetical to
Christianity because socialism denies you free will. Why do government,
why do tyrants think that they are that they're holier
than God. God gives you free will, socialists don't. And
to see someone say, oh, well, you know, if you're
turning away people at the border, that's a grave sin.
To expect security and lawful entry. It's a grave sin. Okay, Well,
then stop turning people away from the Vatican if they
don't have property, stop turning people away from the Vatican,
if they don't want to have their bags checked, Stop
turning people away from the Vatican. If their shoulders aren't
covered or their knees aren't covered, how about that. Stop
turning away people at the Vatican. That's a sin. I mean,
we can do this all day. Someone else's political issue.
They think if someone has a political issue and they think,
they mistake that of somebody else's sin if they don't
agree with them. That's where we're going at going to
I want you to realize that they're trying to emotionally
blackmail Christians by thinking that if you disagree with them,
you are committing a grave sin. If you are not
in lockstep with Marxist ideology, then you are creating a
great sin. If you do not believe in lawlessness and disorder,
then you are creating a great sin. There have been
a lot of people all throughout the centuries who wear
the robes, and they carry the cross, and they sell
the books on the Good Book, and they stand up
at the pulpit and they say a lot of great
things in the name of the Lord. But I'm going
to tell you what even the devil can cite scripture,
Ye workers of inequity. I never knew thee So I'm
getting real tired of the stuff. Getting really tired of it.
And it's not one denomination or another, it's all of them.
It is poor representation. Shepherds, do your jobs. You have
a higher pill according to the New Testament. Don't mislead,
don't misrepresent. I get it. Why some people in church
are so terrified to talk about politics. You shouldn't be
if you are doing your best to speak fact and truth.
I've always said, show me the fact and if I am,
If I am incorrect, I will modify my position. I'm
not a zealot for lies, but I'm telling you it is.
This is what's tearing down the church, stuff like this.
And here's the thing. There are people who are not
even political who don't want to see pastors talk about
this stuff because it gets to say I want to
safe and fair border. What does it even mean? How
about I want lawfulness and order because that does provide
safety and it creates safety for everybody involved, and that
is what is truly fair. There's nothing wrong in saying that.
I'm so not even done with this issue. But that's
that's what was said in Saint Peter Square today. Hillsdale
is a I mean, it's a great classical Christian educational institution.
They were founded in eighteen forty four and they're all
about defending liberty on the battlefield of education. They realize
that having a good education is absolutely supreme when it
comes to maintaining freedom in this republic. Education is key,
and as everybody's heading back to school, something to keep
in mind. You don't have to be going to Hillsdale yourself.

their beautiful campus. You can go to Dana for foor
Hilldale dot com and you can take advantage of all
of the free opportunities that they have on their website.

four four Hillsdale dot com and now all of the
news you would probably miss. It's time for Data's Quick five. So,
according to scuts, I knew Is an Austrian surgeon got
in trouble because he allowed his teenage daughter to drill
a hole in a patient's skull. The victim first read
about the case in the media and only was told
by police months later that it was him that the
teenage girl was said to have helped operate on. This
guy was was in a forestry accident and he was
flown by air ambulance to this hospital in southwestern Austria.
Had serious head injuries. He needed emergency surgery, but the
doctor let the thirteen year old daughter take part. This
is not to bring your daughter to work kind of activity.
And it took that long. Somebody blew the whistle on
it and the victim learned about the case in the media,
and he just I mean, can you imagine that's a
shocking thing, that is I can't. Good Night. A woman
faces charges after climbing into a zoo tiger's enclosure. Why
do people keep doing this? Why? So this woman climbed
into this tiger enclosure in New Jersey and she is
trespassing for allegedly entering a then stop area, taunting and
trying to entice one of the zoo's two Bengal tigers,
and a second wire fence separated her from the tiger.
The tiger tried to bite her, and apparently she did
the same thing at a bear exhibit. I think she
needs to be barred from ever going to the zoo
because do not sit here and euthanize these animals as
being after they were taunted and enticed by this loon.
But good night, they said it was against city ordnance,
et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, they just need to like
deny her entry to any any place where there's animals.
She seems like a nut. Oh boy, no, I don't
want to listen. A bald eagle is believed that was
thought to be injured in Missouri instead was just too
fat to fly. According to wildlife officials, he apparently ate
roague kill and apparently ate up a raccoon and X
Ray showed the raccoon pause in. It's gross. You don't
want to see it. I had to see it. But
they they're making them lose weight and so that he
can fly again. It's the funniest thing I've ever read.
This Colorado school district. This is in the Caller. They
now everybody's going back to school. They're not going to
allow students to opt out of alphabet lessons LGBTQ plus
regardless of parents wishes. A Colorado school district is implementing
the Alphabet Toolkit and it's forcing students to attend lessons
on related topics even if the parents disapprove. It was
created by the Denver School District. Updated in July. It
prohibits students from opting out of these lessons and curriculum
doesn't matter. If you have different beliefs, you're going to
be forced into it. And it's about sex. It's lessons
on sex. It's about how same sex people have it.
That's what they're talking about. They're forcing your kids to
sit through pornography, and I don't get it. Why are
they so obsessed with us? This isn't educational, not educational
at all. They're like, oh, we'll make sure it's age appropriate. Really,
you're the people who put gender queer in elementary school libraries.
People don't believe me when I say this. They honestly,
like actual like moderate Republicans, didn't even believe it. It
started in Texas when a parent first discovered that book.
That's crazy. A twelve year old's or thirteen year old's
library and elementary can access it, and it literally was
a graphic novel that showed well I can't even say
on air what it showed because I would probably get
in Troublecane, right, we can't even show the images because
if I showed these images on Facebook. Actually, when we've tried,
they do monetize my videos and they issue a strike
against my account. I can't even show it on Facebook,
but they can show your underage kids in school and
they consider that to be educational. And it is nothing
more than gratuitous graphic sex. That's all it is. There's
no literary value to it, there's nothing. I mean, honestly,
I think that probably Playboy had better articles. You know
what I'm saying. I mean, there's no value to it
at all whatsoever. It's this is just you're forcing this
in kids' faces so that they're just shell shocked by
it and you can't that's that's. That's all it is.
They're forcing they're forcing them to acclimate to it, regardless
of whether or not parents agree. And the Denver School
District doesn't require the parental consent either with it, with
any of this stuff. They're like, Oh, it's our commitment
to equity and inclusion. What about Look, I don't even
want I don't want any kind of sexual material like
that taught to underage kids in the classroom. Because they're
not telling it's not a biological they're not approaching it
from a biological standpoint like this is where children, how
children are created, or this is how which that at
least serves a purpose. They're like, this is how this
stuff happens. This is how you know men's bodies work
and how women's bodies work. No, they disregard science, and
it's all about fetish It is nothing more than an
educational or not. It's fetish education. That's all it is.
It is and I and I just I kind of
wonder if the people and if the people pushing this
on kids, are you getting off on this? No, that's
not too forward to ask. When you're talking about introducing
books that show pegging in the classroom, don't google that.
People did not believe how bad the photos were or
how bad the illustrations were. And that's not that's just
one book. There are others. And then there's you know,
like the written word that get really graphic with stuff,
and that again that has nothing to do with education.
Why is this Why is this like the hill that
these people want to fight on. I mean, I've got suspicions,
but good night. But now that everybody's going back to school,
this is all up again. You Pin is hosting gender
equity orientation for a freshmen Can you say freshmen? Can
you say freshmen? Anymore? Fresh per from campus reform. This
piece is orientation focusing on providing a safe space for
first year students of marginalized genders you mean, make belief
and their allies to share their experiences and continue to grow.
So it's gender equity. It's a freshman pre orientation program.
I don't see how this is about This isn't about
creating safe spaces. This is again about shoving it in
your face. It's it's bringing fetish out. That's all. It
is historically marginalized genders. Here's the thing with all of this,
the language and the approach to this. No one cared
until you tried to penalize people for pronoun usage. No
one cared until you started demanding that their underage children
be exposed to you, lecturing them about how you'd like
to get off. Nobody cared until you made it an issue.
It wasn't about living your life, it was about making
them be participants in it. That's when it became an issue.
People started marginalizing themselves by acting like a marginalized subset
of society that is obsessed with talking to kids about
their fetishes. That's when it became an issue. Trying to
get people fired because they wanted to say things like
women are real, Stop acting like we're not real. Trying
to get people fired for that is when it became
an issue. It wasn't an issue until then. So people
who subscribe to this wanted to pick a fight with
everyone else, and then when everyone else started objecting, then
they wanted to act like they were marginalized. It doesn't
go both ways. You're the bullies, the jackasses. It's you,
it's not us. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
