Dana Lash's of Surge Truth Podcast. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Hmm. This is like a Mad Libs headline.
A uh Florida man is accused of mooning and then chucking soda. at a group of teenagers inside of a McDonald's. Or as my grandmother would sa have said, a MacDonald's. The man, William Heath. is his name?
He doused two teenagers in soda and then mooned them.
Well, why did he do that? We don't know. I mean, why does anybody do the crazy stuff that they do? Because they're crazy. He thought they were staring at him.
He wandered into the McDonald's in Gainsborough, Florida, and became visibly agitated when he saw a bunch of teenagers looking at him, probably because he was acting like a freak, but you know, we're just going to skip over that part. He stormed over to the teens who were seated in the dining area and started an argument. And then he threw soda at them Doctor Pepper, in case you wanted to know, according to the police report. And then he flopped down in a bush near the sidewalk and pretended the group had ganged up on him and shoved him into the bushes. Then he turned around and dropped his pants.
And spanked himself and then caressed his left buttock cane. Witnesses who watched the bizarre scene unfold told police they never saw the teenagers initiate any kind of physical contact. He just was shouting obscenities and sexual slurs at the minors, apparently. He was read his rights. He tried to defend himself by saying that they had upset and insulted him.
Isn't that, oh, you got insulted. Probably because you're a freak. And so then he. He yeah, he went to the pokey. I've Tomorrow I'll talk about the guy who tried to hold up a Taco Bell with a large rock.
I think we did that one. No, this is a different one. I kid you not. Hands to sky. I'll say I'm not, dude.
I don't know what's up. But man, also, a guy stole a food truck. A Florida man was arrested because he stole a whole food truck.
Well, wait, what kind of food truck was it? Let's look. That's very important to know. Ooh. Ooh, it sounds like it was a Mexican food truck.
That sounds really delicious. I'm not saying that it's okay, I'm just saying if you were gonna steal one. That'd be the one you go for.
Some good stuff on that. All right, it was in Fort Myers. He's in trouble. He also stole two other food trucks before that third one.
So apparently, let me pull this up. I saw this from a couple of people. My very good friend David Limbaugh, whose brother. As you know, the lake great Rush Lumbar previously occupied this time slot. And people like Ryan Savadera and others.
So they had the White House Religious Liberties Commission yesterday morning. And apparently, Seth Dylan from the Babylon Bee was there, and several other people, including this beauty pageant. Queen. I don't remember which one it was. It was like a finalist or had competed or something.
I don't remember. Any don't remind me because I don't care. Um, I think she did a stint on Fox at one time. What's her name? Carrie Pre Prijean.
Yeah. Polar.
Well So she was defending Candace Owens and going after. Seth Dylan.
Now, I don't mind healthy debate, but what I dislike are people who try to act like bouncers for heaven. And um Then proceed to behave in an ungodly manner. That's kind of an issue.
So, what happened here is she decided to confront Seth Dylan, and she was aggressively defending. Uh I guess we'll start with what, cut nine? Let's start with cut nine. God help us if I have to play more than two sound bites of this mind-numbingly ridiculous brain slop. Go ahead with cut nine.
I would really appreciate it if you would stop calling Candace Owens an anti-Semite.
Well, she is not an anti-Semite. She just doesn't support Zionism. And that really happens to be a lot of people.
Okay. Yeah. Look at that. Um I don't know why you keep it.
Well because they're The two most famous anti-Semites. There you go again. Everyone's an anti-Semite. Everyone's an anti-Semitism.
So, if you don't support Zionism, you just said you're not an anti-Semite, yet Candace is an anti-Semite. I think she goes far beyond not merely supporting Zionism. She calls Jews the synagogue of Satan. She just denigrates anyone who. She often uses the word Zionist and the word Jew interchangeably.
At one point, she slipped up and used the word Jew, and someone said, Oh, you're not saying Zionist anymore? She's like, No, gloves are off.
So, do you think saying Christ is king is anti-Semitic? No, Christ is king. Amen. Christ is my king. He's the king of the uniform.
So that's what started the whole thing with her, right? But, oh, my thing with her. Yeah, what I explained to her, and this is what she considered this deep betrayal, was. Simply that the phrase Christ is king has been. Admittedly, by many, co-opted for the purpose of identifying with a Grieper movement and putting the Jews in their proper place to show them that they are other than.
And they will use the phrase in very, very nasty context, like I cited in my statement earlier: Christ is King, you dirty Jew. I've had that told to me dozens of times. Do you think that that's anti-Semitic?
So, first off, let's start with that phrase because that, when was that? Like over the summer or over the past year? It was, it's, I mean, it wasn't used as a phrase of worship. It was blasphemy because people were not actually exalting God. They were using it as a cudgel against people they don't like because of their origin.
And I shouldn't have to explain that to smart people. Smart people understand the difference. And so I do find it incredibly discourteous to act as though when you say that, that you're not blaspheming while you're trying to put someone down because they're of a, you know, you don't like their origin or you don't like their ideology, etc. I find that to be incredibly weird. I also don't think that.
You can't be heaven's bouncer if you make sex tapes. Let's just be very straightforward about that. And I'm not saying anything that hasn't been admitted to publicly by Miss Boller Ball or whatever her name is, or widely reported on. I just think that, you know, I don't know how she ended up on this panel. I think she was incredibly out of her depth on this panel.
And I feel like all of us shouldn't be punished because the blonde version of Kardashian doesn't have the same business acumen and wasn't able to make the same thing happen for her based on her sex tape that Kim Kardashian was able to make for herself.
So I feel like that's, you know, I just. I feel like if you're making sex tapes and you're taking nudie photos and all this other stuff, that maybe your judgment is on other issues isn't going to be great either. And I feel like that's incredibly fair to say, especially when you're trying to act like the bouncer for heaven. Right, and you're saying things like Christ is king, not because you're exalting Jesus Christ, but because you're trying to use it as a cudgel against the Jews, right? That's the crazy thing.
For the people who read with photos, because I feel like this is a pattern of behavior.
So I actually, I didn't really know anything about this chick. I had to look. I didn't know who she was or where she came from. But apparently she was like a beauty pageant person and she ended up getting, oh, it's Miss California USA. And she apparently got her title taken from her, looking at widely reported pieces here because she apparently there were some intimate photos that came to light and there she was accused of not doing fulfilling her contract by doing appearances.
And so apparently that's why they were they took her title. And to say face, to me, it seems like she decided to make it Out like they were punishing her because she was Christian or because she didn't support same-sex marriage. And that seemed to come up later. The stuff about not doing the appearances and the existence of these photos and video, et cetera, that seemed like the because apparently that was like a character clause in their contract and they had an issue with that. That's not unusual, by the way, with like pageant stuff or even high-profile roles for your job.
That's not unusual.
So it seemed kind of like to say face, you had to make it about that.
So. you know i mean to me at least when when i'm reading everything So And then she had to settle and all of this stuff, and et cetera, et cetera.
So I just feel like, I don't know, if you're like, you compromise yourself in certain ways, I just don't feel like I'm going to be trusting your judgment on other issues. That being said, I think she was very much out of her league here. And then she was saying that she doesn't want to be a slave state to Israel. She said this while wearing a Hamas pin. You can say, quote unquote, Palestine, but I don't use that phrase because Palestine is a made-up word for an entity that's never existed.
So she's wearing, that's like the Gaza, or that's the Gaza flag with the United States flag, while she's tweeting about how she doesn't want to live or be operated as a slave state by Israel.
So she's, you know, promoting Hamas propaganda. She's wearing the Gazan flag. And then she does this. This is cut. Uh 10.
Oh gosh. This is the last one I'm gonna play. I'm not gonna rot your brain anymore, I promise. Go ahead. Yeah.
Yeah, one last follow-up. Since we've mentioned Israel a total of 17 times, are you willing to condemn what Israel has done in Gaza? No, because I unilaterally rejected. Hang on. I unilaterally reject that it's not a genocide.
The only genocide ever carried out was on October 7th when Hamas tried killing every man, woman, and child they could possibly find. Hang on, let me respond to that. 70,000 innocent civilians killed? Let me respond. First of all, you want to condemn that.
And Kerry. Just on the record. No, as chair of the committee. I think it's important we have this discussion. I agree.
I'm happy to answer. And Kerry? I think we'd be great friends. I'm happy to answer. Carrie, we have had the discussion.
Good questions, good answers. This is a Commission on Religious Liberty. If there's another Commission on this issue specifically, to be fair, you brought it up. Look, Ben Carson is sitting there. How did Carrie Pregene, whatever her name is, get on this panel?
She is entirely out of her depths. She hijacked it. to pull a stunt. I mean, she's sitting there with actual smart people. And the fact that Dan Patrick...
had to intervene Dan Patrick of all people. had to intervene. She looked like an idiot. And first off, you're citing Hamas' numbers. Do you realize that Hamas told on themselves when they made an announcement about their contributions to their martyrs' fund just this past month?
Everyone's aware of that, I'm sure. The numbers were so wildly disproportionate to what has been promoted in the press from the same Hamas Ministry of Information. In fact, it's like a third of that, and they're all adult males fighting age. And they were donating to their martyrs' fund. I just find it incredibly interesting that the person who's wearing the Gaza slash Hamas flag has no questions as to why Hamas chose to do this in Gaza.
And it has nothing to do with Zionism. And I'm really, really tired of very unintelligent people who can't define Zionism, accusing everyone who disagrees with them about hating to Jews of being Zionist. I find it vapid. It's boring. You need new material at this point.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a quote unquote Zionist. Not everyone who disagrees with you believes that Revelation is a prophecy that exists for today. Not everyone thinks that.
Some people just think that these are people who have a right to live in the land that they have always lived in for thousands of years, which is supported by thousands of years of antiquity in both Christian history, Jewish history, and even Islamic history.
So that's really, you know, the nature of a lot of people's viewpoints on this. But what people like Carrie Pregene or whatever her name is, whatever, what people like that do is they say, oh, well, you're a Zionist. They immediately use a leftist tactic and invoke a logical fallacy of trying to say, well, you're guilt by association. Ergo Decido, you cannot be taken seriously because we are putting you in this category of people as a way to neutralize your opinion. That makes it easier for them to do instead of having to have the wits to push back specifically on your viewpoint.
And this is a tactic that I see all the time from the left, the same left that practices the same identity politics that I see being practiced here on that so-called religious panel that was unfortunately hijacked by a beauty queen who made a sex tape and wants to get attention for herself. And if you dislike my opinion on that, then I suggest you take issue with the widely reported to and admitted fact that my opinion is based on. You're welcome.
Now, furthermore, with this, the idea of, I mean, Ben Karson there. You had a lot of really smart people there that I would have really rather heard from. I don't even understand how this erupts into what it is. How are you on a religious panel and you're wearing the Hamas Gaza flag? While you're simultaneously declaring that you don't want to live as a slave state under Israel.
And then what's more is there was the tweet storm where she was accusing everyone who disagreed with her of somehow infringing upon her First Amendment right. What? That doesn't even make any sense. I responded to that, I think it was last night. I just don't quite understand it.
She apparently is accused. Anybody who disagrees with her, apparently, she said it's an anti-American, anti-Christian rhetoric. And she said, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are expressing their First Amendment right to free speech. And they have that right, even if you don't agree with them. My thought was: well, you don't get to restrict our First Amendment right to call out the absolutely idiotic garbage that they say.
And now, like a leftist, she's trying to. argue that people are trying to get her fired. I have no idea. She's like, I am not going to be forced to embrace Zionism.
Well, no one was asking you to do that. And she says, I'm not a slave to a foreign nation while she wears the Hamaskas and flagpin. I mean, the lack of self-awareness is truly stunning. But again, when people like compromise themselves by making sex tapes, I really do judge. I question their judgment on other issues.
But no one's forcing, I mean, name names. Who's trying to force anybody to embrace Zionism? That's such a leftist tactic. It's leftist, ungodly behavior because you're bearing false witness while you're also trying to act as the bouncer for heaven. That doesn't work.
And real Christians who actually try to really practice their faith instead of just use it for clicks are noticing this.

Amanda is accused of selling pizzas after hours at Little Caesars and then just keeping all the money. I actually saw a commercial for them the other day. You know, they're doing thicker crust now? It was always thin crust.
Now they're doing like what they said was Detroit style, and I was like, does that mean there's bullets in it? It's just wondering. Yeah, a guy made some, he started selling pizza hours, and this is in North Carolina, 41-year-old John Hackett. He broke in.
Well, they, it was in connection with a break-in and they found out that he was selling this stuff. after hours and just Yeah, making pizzas and keeping all the money or dough for himself. I was trying not to make that joke. Oh, Discord is going to age-lock your account next month, and you'll have to submit an ID or accept a face scan.

They said we'll find other ways to bring users back.
Okay. I don't know if that's going to work that well for them, but okay. I mean, you can try it and see what will happen. Ooh, a toddler climbed into a claw machine at Soccer Dome in Webster Groves. This is actually in a neighborhood I used to live right next to when we first got married.
A little boy got stuck inside a claw machine, and it happened at the Vettasports Soccer Dome in Webster Groves. According to the two-year-old's family, I mean, they were watching his brother play soccer. There's photos. And he got into the machine somehow. That's actually.
Pretty smart. Get in the machine. He was in there for like 20 minutes, didn't seem phase. They had to call firefighters. How does this still keep happening, though?
Like, wouldn't you think they'd have some sort of... Improvement on the machine that doesn't allow toddlers to get in? This just makes me want to get somebody's toddler and get stuff out of the machine without having to play the game. That's how I'm looking at this. Like, you would think.
Like, recruit or hire a toddler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the cartel does with kids at the border. You know what I'm saying? Just like, but like have them get in the machine to get some of the loot that's in there.
Because, you know, them claws, they let things go. They let, they, I mean, you, if you've ever played one, you know that as soon as you get something, it lets it go right as you're, it does it on purpose. It's all on purpose. But yeah, that's like. Every year, there's a couple of those stories that happen, and I just never can figure out how they do that.
Let's see. Musk is clipping his Mars settlement ambition. I don't think he's clipping it. I think he's just prioritizing going to the moon first because it's probably more doable at this point in time. You know, but the media struggles to understand nuance.
So he's folk, I don't even know why this is a story. 40s, oh my gosh, mass piranha attack is something I never thought I would see. This is like what you would see on Bugs Bunny. 40 swimmers were injured in a horrifying mass piranha attack as lifeguards ordered an emergency evacuation. One victim lost a finger.
Oh my gosh, there's blood everywhere. I'm not kidding you. It was in the city of Victoria in Argentina. And local health authorities, they said that they had to treat tons of people over the weekend. kids and adults.
They had bite wounds. And these fish, like there's a, oh, this is a horrible photo.
Somebody lost a toe, somebody lost a whole toe.
Somebody had a chunk taken out of the bottom of their foot.
Someone had a chunk taken out of their calf. That's insane. 46 people were injured. And they said most victims had serious injuries. All 46 cases were serious, they said.
They went through like in the first minute three first aid kits. That's crazy. And then one of the victims had to have an amputation of another finger.
So basically, two fingers were bitten off. That's crazy. Pera I mean it's like it's like Looney Tunes. That's horrible. Stick with us.
We got more in store. Uh I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man.

Okay, so. I'm I'm not doing wall to wall Guthrie stuff. Because I think it's there's a little too much saturation happening. I mean, it's sad, but I'm not going to. It's just there's if you want to watch wall-to-wall coverage of it, there's, you know, NBC and ABC and all that stuff.
But one thing that struck me, I thought this was kind of like a weird thing for the media to to Focus on. The sheriff, the Arizona Sheriff. who is apparently spearheading the investigation. of um that woman, the Savannah Guthrie's mom. They said that he was spotted sitting courtside at a University of Arizona basketball game Saturday night.
And Like they were shaming him for it. I'm confused. Why? Why would they shame him for that? And it's all like it's everywhere.
Oh my gosh, he's, can you believe he's at the band? And people were, there were like pictures of him, the press had photos of them. of him there. And they said, oh, he's spotted at the basketball game. And he's got, and now there's backlash.
So the press wrote all about it. And now they have a ton of backlash. There's a ton of backlash on this guy, Chris Nanos. He's facing criticism. because he was spotted attending a local Sporting event on Saturday night.
Um What? Is I'm confused. Is that... Is this just it let me try to understand this. Is the standard operating procedure that You just stay on the case?
Until there's resolution, no sleeping, no eating, no doing anything. I'm curious. Is he not allowed? 'Cause it's his job, what he's doing. I'm just I don't know.
People were saying that they were very troubled that he was at the game. I am really confused by this. The intimation is that somehow, because he's at the game, the investigation's not happening. And there's no. on the ground work going on to find Nancy.
Um so I think that intimation is completely inaccurate. Yeah. It seems like it I mean, the guy can't He's not allowed to w I mean, how you know, I hope it doesn't. I hope they find her and all of that, but good night. Is he I it just feels like it's already a bad enough story.
Why would anybody want to make it worse by throwing in Um Drama that seems a little sensational on top of it. I feel like people are dealing with enough there, right? Yeah. Like they you don't need to throw that on top of it. The guy went to a basketball game Saturday evening.
Is he not allowed to do that? Is he allowed to go home? Is he allowed to take his uniform off? Is he allowed to go to the bathroom? Can you grab a bite to eat anyway?
Yeah, I mean, that seems a little much. And there's a million articles about it. A million. I feel like the press created it. And then everybody reacted to it and now the press is like, ooh.
There's criticism, there's pushback. No, you did it. You did it. You made it an issue and then you're reacting to it. I mean, I don't know.
It's weird to me. I mean, have you looked at it? I mean, it's everywhere. There is a million stories of this. Sheriff leading the Guthrie investigation spotted a basketball game.
I spotted a basketball game. That's what it is. Oh, he gets backlash for attending the game. Here's MSN. Sheriff in charge of Nancy Guthrie investigation is caught watching a basketball game.
Caught an actual headline. He's caught. Watching the basketball game. Click that link, Kane. He's caught watching the basketball game.
Sheriff slammed over basketball game scandal. What scan Nancy Guthrie update.
Now it's a scandal. Can we define scandal for a second? I mean Scandal. What's the scandal? Yeah.
I would think Because wasn't it Dupnick, the previous sheriff, that was in this position? He was there when Giffords was shot in Tucson. And he's the guy who went out and blamed literally the Tea Party and incited violence against Tea Party activists that literally had to like worry for their lives. And then a guy threatened to kill the Trent Humphreys, the Tea Party leader, on live television. It was a CNN or ABC Town Hall.
And they threatened, this guy threatened to kill him, murder him on live television. That's a scandal. involving that office Just being at a basketball game isn't. What in the world?
Now, am I missing something? I mean, those who are experts in law enforcement, by all means, correct us if we are in error. We are not in error. Nobody can work 24-7 without sleep or eating. Stop.
I mean, it feels like th this guy's supposed to. I don't know. Like, I can't believe he's caught sheriff slammed over basketball, basketball game gate. Oh my gosh. It's like they're making it worse.
That's ridiculous. And the story you shared with me, which by the way is ridiculous, him being caught watching a basketball game, it says here, it's quoted someone saying, It seems odd given how emotional he was throughout the week during interviews, saying he believes that she's still alive and how desperate he is to find her. But think about that. The amount of stress. And the amount of decompression you're gonna need as an individual when you're going like that.
And that heart and emotionally invested in that, you need some time. You need some depression, decompression, Tom. You need to be able to unplug a little bit. And because fresh eyes and all, you know, you have to. I mean, that's a very stressful position.
But I've just never. I don't think that I've ever seen anybody begrudge some. Like, what if he had been out with his family eating dinner? Would it have been the same? thing.
Like he's Not a he didn't he wasn't the one who kidnapped her. He's trying to figure it out, but he also needs to be able to take a break. And I mean, how long are basketball games? They're not that long. Come on.
It's just an evening. God, I hope he didn't watch the Super Bowl. Oh, heaven forbid. No, I hope he doesn't enjoy anything in life right now. I mean, I don't want to be, you know, flippant over it, but holy wow.
I um I'm Just amazed at this. I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say this investigation involves more than Sheriff Nanos. There's more people involved in this investigation. Than Sheriff Nanos. But it's all his fault.
It just, you know, like I said, I don't want to be mean because it's a very sensitive thing, it's a horrible thing, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but my gosh. Like, back off the dude for a second. Kane, you see how many pages there are of this? Sheriff investigating Nancy Guthrie case faces backlash. He attended a basketball game.
Now, when I see these headlines, my first thought is: oh my gosh, did he. Was there a malpractice? Did he do something wrong? Yeah, yeah. Was he derelict in duty?
No, he went to a basketball game. Every single one of these. I'm still scrolling through the headlines. Um Wow. Blasted for attending basketball games.
Terrible optics. Oh my gosh. What? Yeah. On and on and on and on.
Never-ending headlines. They are going at this guy. The basketball game, can we stop putting side just a totally different aspect of the story? Can we stop putting gate after things? I know it's like Watergate, but now somebody actually said basketball game gate.
No, it's not. It's not a thing. That's not a thing. Stop doing that. It's unfortunate and I feel bad for them, but this guy, that's not right to slam this guy just because he was at a basketball game and everybody's taking pictures of him and they're acting like.
You know, he's the a criminal. Or that he's a bad sheriff or something. It's just. Good heavens Oh, now here's a headline for you. Ooh, boy.
So Kirk Cobain. Oh I know, you're like wait, what? Nirvana, what? Kirk Cobain's death, now they're they're Uh The King County Medical Examiner at the time ruled it a suicide by a Remington.
Now an unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists put fresh eyes.
So it's not an official. This is Daily Mail being sensational. It's not an official thing, but they're saying that it looks like a homicide to them. Here cue the Courtney Love. Uh conspiracy theories again.
I mean, it was a shotgun, right? Yeah. That's kind of difficult to do. It is. It can be done.
It can't be done. But I don't know. And now they're like have videos to why are we doing this? I remember in the late 90s, I was doing rock radio at the time, and this was obviously one of the bigger stories. Um you know, on the alternative station I was working at.
And I remember then thinking that this was kind of sus because him essentially ending his own life. By the shotgun blast under the chin, sort of thing. You don't have dental records, you don't have facial recognition, you got to rely on something like DNA or fingerprints to know if it was Kurt. And I never saw anything super definitive in that at that time. And we all just accepted that that's what happened.
Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm just not like falling all over myself to find the OJ's real kill. I'm just not. There.
And and yeah, the Courtney Love rumors were floating then too. I just, out of all the things, why are those? But back to the sheriff, though. That's people need to just stop. Let the investigators do their job and don't begrudge the guy if he went to a basketball game for two hours.
You know, they are allowed to go home. They they that is a job for them. Even though the nature of it makes it a little bit more sensitive, it is still a job for them. He is not on call 24/7. And especially when you are investigating a kidnapping like this.
You're looking at all of this, you have to be able to take a break from it. I think, I feel like people don't understand how important that is. You have to be able to walk away from that and take a break because it gets overwhelmingly heavy. And that kind of forensic investigators, all of that, that's a serious thing. And I just, this is not, these people are not helping.
It's sad. It's sad that it's at that. It's, I mean, it's sad that any of it happened, but. Man, the media going ham on this dude. Just unfortunate.
