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. Oh my gosh, this is a real actual headline. A Florida Man was arrested after his 15 month old daughter ate his freshly rolled joint. Say deputies.
Yeah. What in the world? This was in Bunnell, Florida. His 15 month old daughter, Florida Man, was arrested. She had to be hospitalized. Apparently she ate the whole thing. Hospitalized?
They said she was hospitalized. I don't know. What else was in that joint?
I don't know. What else did he put on there? Couldn't have been 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 urine all over the floor, garbage throughout, nails in the floor, air conditioning wasn't working. You say that's worse than the weed. Yeah. Well, I'm immediately like, screw the weed right now. There's no AC in this house. And it's Florida.
And it's 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, went to use the restroom. And that's when his 15 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 THC wax. I don't know what that does in plain view. 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, Cain, 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 flagger county jail and $25,000 bond. Wow, wow, wow. Let's see here this Florida man stole money from a 12 year old who was selling snacks.
What is up with people? So this is in Tampa. A Florida man robbed a 12 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 wanted 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 12 years old. He was going to a 711 where he sets up shop when 59 year old Michael Hughes ran up and stole his bag, which contained $40. Police say Prince chased Hughes who took the money out of the bag for tossing the bag and a rock at the 12 year old. And Prince goes, I don't know, I think he's going to go to the bank. He just needed the money real bad.
But that's not how you earn money. This kid is going to be a business owner. He's good capitalist. Yay. He said he still plans to run his business, but he's going to be more careful. 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 guys facing charges robbery and aggravated battery. You were up at 12 year old. I deserve to have your a 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 tchotchke.
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 flagged by customs on her way home. She had just gone into a souvenir store. And she paid $40 for what she thought was just a piece of pretty pottery. And so she's going through customs.
Kane's already getting 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 pottery?
Like, are you like a pre-Columbian art history? Like, you know, yeah. And she, she said she was shocked the woman, Christine Merrill. And she said, I paid for this in a souvenir store $40.
I don't understand. And they said she had to sign paperwork, pay a fine. And they said that they had, she had to give them 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-Columbian 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 the folks at Caltech the P-15.

And don't forget, you can watch us on X Rumbles where the chat is. Channel 3047 Direct TV also at Substack Chapter and Verse. If you turn away a migrant, it is a grave sin. Sayeth the popeth. 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 was only in the Bible and all. Yes, he says if you are rejecting migrants and you're blocking their roots, it is a grave sin. 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 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? 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 St. Peter's 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 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, Cain. I just don't know why the expectation of following 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 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 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 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 who are 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 cartels were firing 50 cals 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 rent-a-kit operation. I've seen all of the 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 questioned 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 in 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 did the whole bend the knee thing. And I called him and I said, I'm curious as to your angle here. 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. Everybody was friends. We were all friends, black and white and Asian. Everybody went to everybody's houses until the Marxists 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 were hard feelings and 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 a 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 every year than white people. I'm like, that's actually a lie. I can tell where you go when 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 DOJ, 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 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 you, blah, blah, blah. So I was like, okay, I'm going to 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'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 proper ID. 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 someone has a political issue and they think they mistake that as 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 this stuff, getting really tired of it. And it's not, it's not one denomination or another. It's all of them. It is poor representation. Shepherds, do your jobs.
You have a higher penalty, according to the New Testament. Don't mislead, 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 correct, 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, oh, I want a 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 still not even done with this issue, but that's what was said in St. Peter's Square today. Hillsdale is a great classical Christian educational institution. They were founded in 1844, and they're all about defending liberty on the battlefield of education.

It's time for Dana's quick five. So according to Sky News, 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. He, this guy was at, was in a forestry accident and he was flown by air ambulance to this hospital in southwestern Austria. He had serious head injuries. He needed head injuries. He needed emergency surgery, but the doctor let the 13-year-old daughter take part.
This is not a bring your daughter to work kind of day activity. And it took that long. Somebody like 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 just 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 fenced-off 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. That being after they were taunted and enticed by this loon.
But good night. They said it was against city ordinance, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, they just need to like deny her entry to 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 roadkill and apparently ate up a raccoon.
An x-ray showed the raccoon paws in his stomach. It's gross. You don't want to see it. I had to see it.
But they're making him lose weight so that he can fly again. It's the funniest thing I've ever read. This Colorado school district, this is from Daily Caller. 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 this? 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 genderqueer 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 12 year old's or 13 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 trouble, Kane, right? We can't even show the images because if I showed these images on Facebook, actually, when we've tried, they demonetize 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, it's, there's no value to it at all whatsoever. It's, 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 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 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, 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. UPenn is hosting gender equity orientation for freshmen. Can you say freshmen? Can you say freshmen anymore?
Fresh persons. From campus reform. This piece is orientation focusing on providing a safe space for first year students of marginalized genders, you mean make believe, 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 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 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. You're the jackasses. It's you. It's not us. Thanks for tuning in to
