Honoring Our Fallen Heroes – August 15th, 2025

Let us stand united in support of our law enforcement officers. Back the badge, share their stories, and show them they are not alone. They need our gratitude and encouragement just as much as we need their protection. Together, we can honor the fallen by ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Two sides to the story. There's only one side to
the facts. Welcome to the Brian mud Show and thank
you for listening.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Gus.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
We're protecting the Palm Beach is a tribute to those
who serve and sacrifice, brought to you by the Good
Greek Spureau in Good Greek Moving and Storage. And this
is the tribute to those who've literally laid down their
lives in service, but also to serve as a reminder
to the rest of us of what the risk is.
Every day we have people that leave their families, put
on the badge, go to work, never knowing what might

(00:34):
happen next, and far too often it's been something really bad.
And last year LEDs rose significantly across the country. Three
hundred and forty two officers were a shot in line
of duty. One hundred and sixty seven heroes died in
the line of duty, including eight in Florida. Now the
better news we have seen LEDs trend much lower this year.

(00:55):
That's encouraging. Still, fifty four law enforcement professionals film the
line duty so far this year, two in Florida. And
as we take a look at our most recent losses,
here is the latest on the CDC shooter.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
On the day at gunman opened fire on CDC headquarters,
his father called police, asking to speak with an officer
who had checked on his family during an earlier incident.
Investigators say thirty year old Patrick Joseph White had no
prior criminal history, but had previously expressed thoughts of suicide
and complained of health problems, which he blamed on the
COVID vaccine. They say White took his own life after

(01:35):
killing a local police officer and firing more than five
hundred shots outside CDC headquarters, striking the Federal Health Agency's
buildings nearly two hundred times.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Foxes Jonathan Siri on that report, and we'll start there.
The officer who lost his life with the CDC headquarters,
David Rose, a Marine Corps veteran. David survived by his
pregnant wife and two children. Also over the past week,
in Pennsylvania, we lost Special Agent Dennis Wagner Junior died

(02:09):
of cancer attributed to his work as a first responder
on nine to eleven. An Army veteran, he survived by
his wife and two children. In Texas, Lieutenant Albert Stout
Junior died due to an infectious disease contracted while assisting
with animal control services. He survived by a wife and
three children. In Washington, Sergeant Kenneth Sallas was struck and

(02:31):
killed by a motorist while removing debris on an interstaate
an Air Force an Air National Guard veteran. He survived
by his wife and In Louisiana, Sergeant Caleb Eysworth murdered
in a targeted attack when he was struck by a
vehicle while on motorcycle patrol, dragged behind the vehicle, something
that suspects bragged about on social media. The suspect has

(02:53):
been charged with murder the suspect's girlfriend with obstruction of justice.
Caleb survived by his wife and daughter. And as we
remember those we've lost, important to remember the families of
the fallen as well. The average fallen law enforcement professional
forty one years old with twelve years of service. There
are thirty five widows and ninety one children who've lost

(03:15):
to parent. This is you're a weekly reminder to back
the badge and spread the word, because Lord knows that
they need us every bit as much.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
As we need them. Yes, that's for sure. All right,
Let's get a look at some Florida headlines. So Governor
d Sant has announced yesterday where the state's newest illegal
immigrant detention center will be. The facility in Baker County
Western Jacksonville will bear the name Deportation Depot, located at
a county correctional institution. It'll hold about thirteen hundred illegal
immigrants at first, but DeSantis believes it will be expanded

(03:44):
beyond that. One local city defying the Florida Department of
Transportation when it comes to a crosswalk dedicated to the
LGBTQ community while they're pom Beach County cities like Boynton
Beach and West pom Beach have removed their painted murals
from roadways. Delray Beach has to keep its intersection painted
as a rainbow. F DOT recently issued a statewide directive

(04:05):
urging cities to remove any artwork from roadways, threatening to
withhold funding the agency side safety concerns, but Delray Beach's
Vice Mayor Rob Long says the directive is political. He
does admit if the city sent a formal enforcement note
to still have no choice but to comply. Should be noted.
Long as a Democrat who recently jumped in the race
to fill of Florida House seat District ninety, left vacant

(04:28):
by the death of state righte Joe Cassello.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
What I appreciate is is commentary that it's inclusive. No,
it quite literally is not inclusive. It's only inclusive of
people that identify with the homosexual alphabet. It is not
inclusive of ninety eight percent plus of society. It's actually
divisive and it violates traffic law. Other than that, really
great you penned.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And one more note, Playboy has plans to call Miami
Dade County home company, announcing that it's moving its global
headquarters from California to Miami Beach, and the company will
also be built a Playboy club with a restaurant and
a member's only area, which I will not be attending.
All right, those are your headlines. Will not be invited.

(05:11):
I saved you the trouble.
