Speaker 3 (03:06):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM, WCCF
Radio dot com, and on your iHeartRadio app. Please make
it a pre set, won't you. Charlotte County Speaks on
the air. I'm Ken Lovejoy. Thank you very much for
tuning in. I really appreciate it, and I hope you
had a great weekend. Yeah, I was. I had a
fine weekend, great time with Gumba Johnny. It's the Sani
(03:31):
Saturday night yesterday, I was gonna go swim and then
I thought, well, you know the way the clouds were looking,
I figured as soon as they get to the pool,
it with lightning, somewhere and I wouldn't be able to.
So I went, and I haven't done this in a while,
went down and walked the bridge. Had a good time
doing that. However, it's weird. The regular cyclists, you know,
(03:58):
the guys with real bikes, are all in the bike
lane like like they're supposed to be, and we appreciate that.
But these idiots on the e bikes, they're too scared
to ride in the bike lane apparently, so they got
a zip on the sidewalk on the bridge. You're not
supposed to be there, I mean, there's signs and stuff,
(04:19):
you know, So get your little effeminate e bikes in
the bike lane where you're supposed to be and we'll
all get along swimmingly. Other than now, it was a
great day. This just in, Oh my gosh, breaking news.
And maybe some of you out there can attest to this.
(04:41):
You know, it is Monday, and you know the whole
Monday suck. Yeah, it's just the way it is. But
a new study found that they suck even worse and
for longer even Researchers tested people's to see how much
of the stress hormone cortisol that they've been producing and
(05:05):
the ones who said that Mondays were the most stressful
day of the week, so pretty much everyone had twenty
three percent more cortisol coursing through their veins. Well, they'd
have to test the beard hair on me. I have
no hair to too much of it can risk heart
(05:28):
disease for people, weight gain, and other issues. And the
crazy part of this study was even true for people
who had already retired. So even after you retire, Mondays
still suck, and that's you might as well keep working.
(05:50):
They think it's because work week stress is just so
ingrained in the human psyche that even after you retire,
you're still you're still stressed about Monday, when you spent
most of your life stressing about work, school, the start
of the new week. It's just apparently a tough feeling
to shake. So if you hate Mondays now and you're
(06:11):
in your seventies or eighties, it's I guess that's just
why it is two six fifteen eighty toll free eight
eight eight four four one fifteen eight.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't really mind Mondays any more than Tuesdays really Sunday. Yeah,
I've never really had that. I guess if you love
what you do then every day is a blessing, Hey kids.
(06:42):
Coming up this Sunday, Sunday, July twentieth, one to five pm,
Warrior Wellness is having a fundraiser at the Wyvern Rooftop
Perch three sixty and it's dedicated to honoring and supporting
local veterans through Warrior Wellness, which is an organization that

(07:02):
and wellness services. And your contributions will help support veterans
by locally by funding gym memberships, personal training sessions, swim lessons,
holistic health services. Warrior Wellness committed to fostering not only
physical fitness, but also mental and emotional well being. So
again or dervs drinks, silent auctions please one to five
(07:27):
pm this Sunday Perch three sixty rooftop at the Wyvern
for the Warrior Wellness fundraiser and also once again coming
up on August fifth, Tuesday, five point thirty to seven
pm at the Punagorda Library, there's going to be a
family and Friends CPR program taught by the pun Agorda
Fire Department. It's not going to give you a certificate,
(07:49):
but it's going to give you a booklet, and it's
going to at least show you, give you the opportunity
to work on Resessa and and learn how to do
a CPR properly. And everybody should know how to do
CPR because you never know when you're gonna need it.
Seconds count your ability to do CPR could actually save
a life. So again, that's Tuesday, August fifth, five thirty
(08:12):
to seven at the Ponta Gordon Library. It's Monday, so
we're gonna be talking with Dan Perkins coming up in
the ten o'clock And what else we got, Well, apparently
I really have to temper my tongue when discussing the
(08:33):
ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham and Dick Stolen, Valor Bloomenthal. These
guys just they're warmongers and they want nothing more than
to drag us in with NATO to a war with Russia.
You can say what you want about Putin. I'm a
little yeah, you would hope that his discussion. See Putin
(08:54):
already knows. Putin knows he's his beef isn't with Trump.
His beef is with the CIO and the Deep State
who continue this crap behind Trump's back to keep this
war going in Ukraine, and the ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham
and Dick Stolen Valor Blumenthal are part of that group
(09:15):
of people who want nothing more than to see your
kids killed in a war that is completely unnecessary and
what we're doing now they were very happy with the
overly dramatic Margaret Brennan yesterday on the CBS. The action
appears to center around confiscation of Russian assets, Russian and
(09:39):
Central Bank reserves held in European bonds. Now the money
belongs to the people of Russia in the form of
bonds previously purchased by Russia using a system that many
nations follow, including all those nations who buy US treasuries.
So if the USA or Europe end up confiscating those funds,
the only thing this action is going to prove is
(10:00):
that the Western financial system cannot be trusted, and a
whole lot of nations are already reluctant. Some are fleeing
from the US EU treasuries as a result of this threat,
and we're seeing changes in the bond rates as well.
So Graham doesn't care about that. He's a piece of garbage,
a total piece of effeminine garbage. He doesn't care about
(10:24):
the strategic financial interests of the US. He's more concerned
about fighting Russia, regardless of the long term ramifications. I
agree with Sun Dance on that wholeheartedly. He's just a
piece of garbage. I have absolutely nothing. I equate Lindsey
Graham with Hillary Clinton. I equate Lindsey Graham with the
(10:45):
deep State. I equate Lindsey Graham with nothing but a Democrat.
He's worse than a rhino. Clear on that.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks on News
Radio fifteen eighty WCCs.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
My mind is still quill thoughts of you.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I think about the days up to search the root,
budge on that litter, refew the girls, every winner.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
But it's only memo.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Read what I'm not going.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
To magee only of memo, read broken bits of.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You and me only never read, only never reading.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM, WCCF
just about nine to twenty four here on a Monday.
Phone lines are open here at Charlie County Speaks nine
four one two zero six, fifteen eighty. A lot of
stories on this over to Matt VESPA town Hall has
got a little update on it. Did you see? I mean,
(12:21):
you can pull this crap in New York, California just about,
but don't don't try this in Tampa. Turning Point USA
held its Student Action summit in Tampa last week and
during the event, some anti Trump clown Trevor Smith, if
(12:41):
you saw the video online's he pulls up across the
street from him because there were a bunch of people
standing out in front of the conference center where they
were having it, wearing all wearing the Maga hat and whatnot,
and he jumps out of his little le suv and
tries to antagonize some of the intendees who were standing outside.
(13:03):
Did not end well for him first, mister Smith. Uh,
not only did he get smacked around a bit by
the cop when he was trying to pick a fight
and the cops, he shoves somebody and that's when the
cop decided to get involved and the guy tries to
Trevor tries to run back to his suv and get in,
but he trips up, falls over, and the cop puts
(13:28):
him in a headlock. And it turns out that Trevor
had been drinking so on top of an assault charge.
He's getting a dewey. Ah, not gonna work out. This
isn't yeah, it's Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Man. Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
If you've seen the video, it's it's up all over
you see it at the town hall, the Facebook, the X,
the Insta. He tried to Yeah, he shut lunged one
of the guys. He lunged it to some guy. Blaze Media,
(14:11):
corresponding Julio Rosas was following the filming the whole thing.
It was just fun to watch and just stupid. You
know what, what are you going to do? Lone drunk guy,
You're going to take on a bunch of people at TPUSA.
It's never going to end well for you. Don't do it.
Just settle down, kids, And this is just making the
Left just look even worse with a lot of people.
(14:35):
New poll out reveals a sharp decline in support for
the Democrat Party since the twenty twenty four election. Frustrated
voters say the party has just drifted so far from
the concerns of everyday Americans, and instead of focusing on inflation,
border security, public safety, Democrats are increasingly obsessed with destroying
(14:58):
Trump's legacy, just doing nothing about a bunch of woke,
virtue signaling, and identity politics Unite the Country conducted the
poll a Democrat super pack just saying their own poll
shows that many voters, especially white men, Hispanic men, and
(15:19):
working class Americans, see the Democrat Party as woke, weak,
and disconnected from everyday realities. The party's approval rating is
dipped below thirty five percent, raising serious concerns about its
ability to rebound before the twenty twenty eight elections held
the twenty twenty six midterms. Adding to the challenge, enthusiasm
(15:39):
among the Democrat base has continued to decline following the
twenty four elections, signaling deep frustration within the party's own ranks.
Democrat strategist Rodell Molonneux acknowledged that the Democrat Party is
facing a serious perception problem. He said, many Americans beyond
just the MAGA base see the party negatively, and unless
(16:02):
the Democrats accept this reality, which it does not seem
that they have yet to do, it's going to be
very difficult for them to make any headway in regaining
the trust of the American people and the Democrat base
in general. He emphasized that this view isn't limited to
far right critics but it also includes voters who should
(16:23):
naturally support the party. Quote, Democrats need to realize that
in order to improve and get better to not only
win twenty twenty eight, but twenty thirty and beyond, they're
going to have to do a little bit of self reflection,
which again they just don't seem to do. A CNN
SSRs poll from earlier this year shows the Democrat Party
(16:47):
facing historically low approval, just twenty nine percent of Americans
viewing the party favorably, the lowest level since CNN began
tracking the data. Even the Democrat leaning voters are unhappy,
fifty eight percent saying the party needs significant changes or
a total overhaul. Only sixteen percent of voters say Democrats
(17:07):
provide strong leadership. They have no leadership ability at all.
It's always a blame game. They take no responsibility for
anything that they've done. That's not leadership. The numbers reflect
a growing frustration, especially among young and independent voters, posing
serious challenges for Democrats as they look ahead to the
(17:29):
twenty twenty six elections. So, I mean, that's it's good
news for the right, but that doesn't mean that we
don't have our own problems as well. That we need
to get under control and places like California. Bob Eitzer
(17:52):
had a piece last week, Californian's useless Republicans, And we're
talking about the GOP, the elected GOP, and the party itself.
The people who run the GOP in California just grifters.
Almost weekly, another Republican in the once golden state tells
(18:16):
Robert Ditzler he or she is leaving for a red state.
Formerly the envy of the nation, California, which used to
be read, is now in steep decline due to decades
of botch Democrat leadership and policies. However, some pathetic Republican
leaders share responsibility for the state's failures, which pile up
(18:36):
faster than feces and needles on a San Francisco street.
When accused of not holding firm, they claim there's little
they can do as the minority party. Well, to an extent,
they're correct. Current voter registration in California breaks out Democrats
at forty six point two percent, Republicans twenty four point
(18:57):
seven percent, NPA's twenty nine nine point one. Some of
those other voters are former Republicans who threw up their
hands in disgust and registered as NPA. The category also
includes folks who want to turn cities into communi assess pools.
But enough about Karen Bass. Here's three recent examples of
(19:18):
California Republican leaders lacking strong America First principles. Registered Republicans
are regularly inundated with emails text letters from the californ
California Republican Party CRP begging for contributions. Steve Frank of
California News and Views reported that the CRP will be
(19:40):
paying a massive ten thousand dollars for an opera singer
to sing the Star Spangled banner during the CRP's September
three day statewide convention in Orange County. Performances planned for
the Saturday evening dinner ten grand. What's their job to
(20:04):
recruit more voters and to help fund candidates, not piss
away money for a minute and a half? Ten grand
for well, if you stretch it, you can get over
two minutes, but for the most part, less than two minutes.
This lage, God bless her. Whoever the opera singer is
ten grand, good on you. I'd take the money all
(20:26):
day long, but it's stupid money, and they shouldn't be
spending it on that. According to those who follow the
CRP Chair Cornin, Rankin approved the outlay without board approval.
Chair Rankin informed the board that her friend is singing
at a discount and she didn't allow any discussion for it.
(20:47):
California Republicans, whose mailboxes and inboxes are stuffed with CRP
donation requests are going to be thrilled that the previous
chair earned an annual sal You know how much she
makes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year plus benefits, bonuses,
(21:08):
and travel expenses. The current chair salary was increased to
a whopping two hundred and sixty thousand plus benefits, bonuses,
and travel expenses. How greasy Gavin's only getting two hundred
and twenty four thousand. It's disgusting. So while they think
they're in the minority, so there's nothing they can do,
(21:29):
so let's just piss away the money. That's not being
a Republican. Compare the Republican chair's huge salary to the
chairman of the California Democrat Party, who earns only one
hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. Apparently losing pays in California.
There's about eighty five words in our national anthem ten
(21:49):
thousand dollars. It comes to about one hundred and eighteen
bucks a word. How many local talented singers would have
been honored to sing this glorious song at the Republican
Convention for nothing, just to get it on the resume. Instead,
California GOP chair Coorin Rankin signed the contract that will
(22:10):
let her opera singer friend belt out the song for
ten grand.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, he says, maybe the song should start with those say,
can you see how the California GOP wastes our money
on the true The extravagant ten grand expenditure by the
CRP chair Koran Rankin offers a prime example of why
America First Patriots in California donate directly to candidates and
ignore the elitist CRP. Some GOP state lawmakers don't even
(22:41):
know the meaning of illegal. Anyone who enters the US
illegally has broken our laws. End of story. And while
no one disputes that some illegal aliens are worse than others,
it doesn't change the fact that if someone comes into
our country without proper documentation and processing, they're here illegally.
On June twenty seventh, six Republican legislators signed a letter
(23:05):
to President Trump that now provides Democrats with ammunition in
their assault on Trump's goal of deporting illegal aliens. The
Republicans are Diane Dixon in the seventy second District. Lori
Davies seventy fourth District wrote, Wow, they're all one dude,
and the rest are women. The Karens of the gop
(23:27):
Rosalissi o'hawa bolg in the nineteenth Heath Oh the two
dudes Heath Flora, ninth district, Susette Valderez twenty third District,
Brian Jones, the Senate Minority leader. Two page letter includes
the usual YadA YadA YadA about supporting ICE, wanting illegal
alien criminals deporting, and working with Trump administration on an
(23:50):
immigration program. That's all fine, but what part of illegal
do these Republican setters and Assembly members not understand? Americas
did this dance with Reagan in nineteen eighty six. The
Immigration Reform and Control Act got totally screwed over by
Kennedy on that one, and he fell for it and
(24:14):
shouldn't do it again. It's going to be grossly unfair
to immigrants who legally come to the United States through
the long and very costly legal process, and as President
Trump repeatedly said during the campaign, all illegal immigrants who
invaded our country must return to their home nations. Trump
never hinted at work programs, exemptions, visa programs, or anything
(24:36):
except mass deportation. America First patriots will be livid if
exemptions or amnesty are offered after the Big Beautiful Bill
gives ICE and other law enforcement agencies and necessary funding
to deport them. And on top of all that, the
Orange County Board of Supervisors discreetly voted itself a hefty
(25:00):
twenty five percent salary increase. The five member OCBOS has
three Democrats and two Republicans. Democrat Katrina Foley is up
for reelection this year, so it made sense see anyway
for her to vote no to avoid giving her opponents
another talking point about her radical leftist views. With Democratolly
(25:22):
fully voting it down, the two Republican supervisors had an
outstanding after opportunity to stop the wasteful forty nine thousand
dollars per supervisor raise, And to quote John Belushi from
Saturday Night Live, when the show was actually funny button. Instead,
(25:42):
Republican supervisors Jenet mcgwinn and Donald Wagner voted yes to
give themselves a fifty to forty nine thousand dollars a
year raise. So, following the public outcry, the two Democrats
who voted yes promised to donate their rais, which really
means a Democrat supervisors of Ascent Sarmiento and Doug Chafe
are just donating our tax dollars, Sarmiento, or their tax dollars. Rather,
(26:06):
Sarmiento plans to donate his entire forty nine thousand dollars
California tax dollars to help the illegal aliens pay fees
and immigration courts. What joy. The two Republicans could have
stopped the whole thing, yet they didn't California GOP. That's
why I always say a California Republican is a Democrat
(26:27):
anyplace else. Democrat policies in California provide the hammers that
are building a third World state, with some Republican leaders
providing the nails. Sadly, so, don't expect the California GOP
to make any headway anytime soon out there when they're
acting as bad, if not worse than Democrats two oh
(26:48):
six fifteen eighty toll free eight eight eight four four
one fifteen eighty. Also, I can't you know this whole
deal with Mom Donnie. He's taken what he oh, he's
taking a boat. He's decrying millionaires, decrying the rich. But
(27:10):
he's taken a bolt load of money from who would
be George Soros of course, and uh Antonio Griffeco a
grisepho rather over it to a gateway puntic kind of
to a certain degree, as the same opinion as me.
(27:31):
I'm of the opinion love Curtis Sliwa, but again you're
looking at only what's the breakout again, fifty six in
New York fifty six percent registered Democrat, twenty six percent Republican,
eighteen percent NPA. No statistical way that Sliwa can win.
(27:58):
Might be close. He's hoping that with all these independents
that's going to give him a shot, but it's not.
I don't think I think the best course of action
is for Sliwa to drop out and endorse Eric Adams
and helped to get out the vote for Eric. Nobody.
(28:21):
Eric ain't great. I'm not saying he is, But he's
a damn sight better than Cuomo or the little effeminent
gi Hoti. Curtis Leewa, if you recall, founder of the
Guardian Angels, longtime New York civic activists, and he's once
again the nominee for Mary He's ran several times. He's
(28:41):
running unopposed in the GOP primary. Known for his signature
red beret decades of volunteer crime fighting, Sleewa casts himself
as the only candidate seriously addressing public safety, quality of life,
and the needs of the outer boroughs. But his platform
calls for restoring the NYPD budget cut that's good, hiring
seven thousand new officers, fine, deploying five hundred undercover cops
(29:05):
in the subway, and reinstating qualified immunity. He proposes funding
these initiatives by forcing institutions like Madison Square, bart Garden
and NYU to finally pay property taxes. Slee Wall also
supports repealing the City of Yes zoning plan, capping the
number of migrant and homeless shelters, and blocking the construction
(29:25):
of lithian ion battery storage sites and residential neighborhoods. That's
a dangerous, dangerous prospect. A staunch animal welfare advocate, he
created a separate Protect Animals ballot line to underscore his
commitment to the issue. He's a good guy. I'm not
saying he's not. He's not always in step with Trump.
(29:46):
He voted third party in twenty twenty, but he backed
Trump this year last year. Rather, Sliwa maintains he's not
the Trump pick, preferring to present himself as an independent minded,
street level leader. He was arrested but not proud secut
it during a twenty twenty three protest against illegal immigration
outside Gracie Mansion, and he continues to reject political theater
(30:08):
in favor of what he calls real solutions to crime,
fair evasion, and urban decay. Mondani, by contrast, is running
on a Democrat socialist platform that proposes a ten billion
dollar tax increase on businesses which will drive them out
of the city and high earners as well, which will
(30:29):
drive them out of the city. Free city bus service again,
how can it be free? I mean, public transportation is
a money pit. It never ever, ever, ever pays for itself.
So now you're not going to charge anybody for it.
Where you going to get the money? He wants to
freeze rents on stabilized departments city owned grocery stores thirty
(30:53):
dollars minimum wage by twenty thirty. He supports the boycott
the BDS against Israel, has described Israel's actions in Gaza's genocide.
His support for BDS and refusal to affirm Israel's right
to exist have drawn a strong backlash from Jewish groups
in New York City and during the campaign. Mamdani also
(31:15):
sparked controversy for refusing to condemn the phrase globalize the Intifada,
a slogan associated with valient, violent anti Israel protests since
the Hamas Led massacre on October seventh, twenty three. Pressed
repeatedly in interviews, mam Doni defended the phrase as a
desperate desire for equality. God, he's so lame, and claim
(31:40):
that Meyers should not police speech, only his speech. Though
critics argue that his proposals are economically reckless. They're economically thoughtless, vapid,
they won't work. His plan to open city run grocery stores,
one in each borough has been why condemned is totally
(32:01):
unrealistic and wasteful. Experts note that grocery retail is one
of the most competitive, low margin industries in the economy,
and even companies like Amazon have struggled to turn a
profit in that sector. Government run stores would face higher
cost due to civil service rules and would likely operate
at a loss, just like his bus service, undercutting the
(32:22):
private stores, distorting the market and subsidizing wealthier concern consumers
who don't need the help. Meanwhile, his rent free proposal,
one of his most radical and potentially destructive ideas, could
worsen the cities already distorted housing market, drive small landlords
out of business. His free bus plan going to blow
(32:42):
a seven hundred million dollar hole in the transit budget,
and his tax hikes would trigger an exodus of high
earners who fund most of the city's services. Mandani supports
eliminating qualified immunity for police office, which means you're gonna
have a lot less police. But he'll have his community police. Yeah,
(33:04):
a bunch of hardcore muzzies advocating public safety reform. Though
he's not called for abolishing the NYPD, it looks like
that's what his plans are. His campaign is backed by
the Democrat Socialists of America. Bernie and Occasional Cortex are
also in favor of that, So that tells you how
(33:27):
good it is. While his platform has energized some progressive voters,
is radical economic proposals, hostility towards Israel, and market interventionist
instincts that made him a deeply, deeply polarizing figure. Sliwa,
on the other hand, offers a clear policy contrast on
core issues public safety, calls for expanding the NYPD, restoring funding.
(33:52):
He knows what he's talking about doing forty six years
of crime fighting with the Guardian Angels in New York City.
So Eric Adams, the incumbent running as an independent. He
campaigns on what he calls a record of practical accomplishments,
claiming that violent crime has dropped to historic lows, five
(34:12):
hundred thousand new jobs have been created, and affordable housing
has expanded during his tenure. He's still getting a lot
of pushback from law enforcement veterans. They dismissed the crime
stats as misleading. Adams rejected the defund the police movement.
He is a retired detective and increased He put more
(34:36):
cops on the subways, Yet transit crime surged in twenty
three and twenty four with spikes and robberies, assaults in
grand larsonies. Despite occasional monthly dips, violent crime rose overall
in twenty twenty four. So again, as much as Sliewa
(34:57):
looks good, I just don't think he's got statistically the
amount of people that are going to vote for him.
Adams has baggage on him, but I don't think he's
going to have as much baggage in contrast to Mom Donnie.
It just seems to me that the yeah, if you
want to save New York, a rally behind Adams and
(35:19):
do what you can to get rid of and get
rid of the crime in his next term. Maybe Sliwa
can play a role in Adam's cabinet. I don't know.
We'll see how it goes, but I just don't see
any any way for Sliwa to win the Meyrit, though
I wish he would. And you notice nobody in this
(35:42):
art of nobody, nobody is talking about Cuomo. Can you
hear me all the way back there?
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Your immaturity is extremely disappointing.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I am really.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Disappointed in you.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Do you have any ethical qualms regarding human experimentation?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
You think this is some kind of game.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
You're just gonna drop the mic and walk off break hotel.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
I've been here, We'll be right back with Charlotte County
Speaks on news radio fifteen eighty WCCF.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
When you guys give compliments and you say like, hey, nay,
you're doing your thing, like, let's just keep it at that, okay,
Because what I don't like is when people come up
to me and say, you know, hey, your career is
going great. I love your stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Big dog.

This is a big dog for me, Like, who are
you talking to? I'm medium, I'm a cocker spaniel. Now,
I've been doing ten thousand and stevens today. Big dog
is hell of disrespectful. I'm sick of skinny people coming
up to fat people telling us what size they think
we are.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
We don't do that to you.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
What's up, big dog?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
What's up? Ribcage?
Speaker 8 (36:44):
That's hello, disrespectful?
Speaker 5 (36:46):
So big dog, what's up? Twenty three? Since a day.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
This America? Everybody fat here might as well embrace it.
It's nine calaries per deep breath in America, fat people?
Speaker 1 (36:59):

It's news radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FMWCCF
just about nine fifty six here Charlotte County Speaks. Coming
up in the ten o'clock after a fake news radio
web day, will be talking with Dan Perkins about stuff. Hey,
(38:37):
everybody's been wondering where the Viveke Ramaswami's been. Well, he's
running for governor in Ohio, but you can check him
out in Times Square. Have you seen this? Veveke is
set to debut a new billboard ad in Times Square
on Monday, and if you look at it, you got
the jihad mom Dammi. On one side it says ready
(38:58):
to flee New York picture of the Jihati and then
underneath radical socialist Zoran man Nami, and then on the
other side it says move to Ohio, protecting freedom. Vivek
Ramaswami great marketing it's true. We've seen stories where New
(39:26):
York real estate agents are saying, man, there's a bunch
of Jews who want to get out of here because
the guy is a total andy semi. So I think
it's pretty nice. What we at fifty grand for the
new ad blitz that he's spending in the Big Apple.
And so far the pack which is pro Ramaswami super
(39:49):
Pac Vivek super Pac has raised seventeen million dollars so
far for his goobernatorial bid. So what, whether you lie
the Avec or not. Pretty clever. And after everything that's
happened with Musk, harken back to when Mousc and Viveke
(40:12):
we're having their little tizzy with each other, could be
of Vivec was the one who was right, just saying,
just food for thought. What you think is going on
might not really be what's going on? Oh today, by
(40:36):
the way, today, as well as some other days, National
Nude Day, really National Nude Day. Okay, well whatever, it's
a little rainy, might get wet. Fifty It's also Mac
and Cheese Day. We love the mac and cheese. I
(40:59):
have had mac and cheese in quite a while. It's
just not something my buy. You know, it's like for me,
it's like a holiday type food anyway. But chances are
somebody in your household is going to put up a
big fight to have mac and cheese for every meal.
Kids love it National Mac and Cheese Day. New survey.
(41:19):
Eighty six percent of Americans say it's an adult food,
not just for kids. Fifty four percent eat macaroni and
cheese weekly because it's the economy stupid, and most of
them preferred for dinner as opposed to lunch. As a passion,
It's real. People are very passionate about the mac and cheese.
Fifty six percent would give up coffee or social media
(41:43):
before giving up mac and cheese. I'd give up. I'd
easily give up social media and mac and cheese before
I will give up my coffee. Yeah, could you really
follow through on that? Other stats? Thirty two percent of
people say mac and cheese is their top comfort food,
(42:05):
and it is good comfort food. More than seventy five
percent eat it with a fork, not a spoon. Okay,
we'll be back in a short short.

News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM, WCCF
Radio dot com, and on your iHeartRadio app. Please make
it a pre set, won't you. Charlotte County Speaks on
the air. I'm Ken Lovejoy. Thank you very much for
tuning in. I really appreciate it, and I hope you
had a great weekend. Yeah, I was. I had a
fine weekend, great time with Gumba Johnny. It's the Sani
(03:31):
Saturday night yesterday, I was gonna go swim and then
I thought, well, you know the way the clouds were looking,
I figured as soon as they get to the pool,
it with lightning, somewhere and I wouldn't be able to.
So I went, and I haven't done this in a while,
went down and walked the bridge. Had a good time
doing that. However, it's weird. The regular cyclists, you know,
(03:58):
the guys with real bikes, are all in the bike
lane like like they're supposed to be, and we appreciate that.
But these idiots on the e bikes, they're too scared
to ride in the bike lane apparently, so they got
a zip on the sidewalk on the bridge. You're not
supposed to be there, I mean, there's signs and stuff,
(04:19):
you know, So get your little effeminate e bikes in
the bike lane where you're supposed to be and we'll
all get along swimmingly. Other than now, it was a
great day. This just in, Oh my gosh, breaking news.
And maybe some of you out there can attest to this.
(04:41):
You know, it is Monday, and you know the whole
Monday suck. Yeah, it's just the way it is. But
a new study found that they suck even worse and
for longer even Researchers tested people's to see how much
of the stress hormone cortisol that they've been producing and
(05:05):
the ones who said that Mondays were the most stressful
day of the week, so pretty much everyone had twenty
three percent more cortisol coursing through their veins. Well, they'd
have to test the beard hair on me. I have
no hair to too much of it can risk heart
(05:28):
disease for people, weight gain, and other issues. And the
crazy part of this study was even true for people
who had already retired. So even after you retire, Mondays
still suck, and that's you might as well keep working.
(05:50):
They think it's because work week stress is just so
ingrained in the human psyche that even after you retire,
you're still you're still stressed about Monday, when you spent
most of your life stressing about work, school, the start
of the new week. It's just apparently a tough feeling
to shake. So if you hate Mondays now and you're
(06:11):
in your seventies or eighties, it's I guess that's just
why it is two six fifteen eighty toll free eight
eight eight four four one fifteen eight.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't really mind Mondays any more than Tuesdays really Sunday. Yeah,
I've never really had that. I guess if you love
what you do then every day is a blessing, Hey kids.
(06:42):

pm at the Punagorda Library, there's going to be a
family and Friends CPR program taught by the pun Agorda
Fire Department. It's not going to give you a certificate,
(07:49):
but it's going to give you a booklet, and it's
going to at least show you, give you the opportunity
to work on Resessa and and learn how to do
a CPR properly. And everybody should know how to do
CPR because you never know when you're gonna need it.
Seconds count your ability to do CPR could actually save
a life. So again, that's Tuesday, August fifth, five thirty
(08:12):
to seven at the Ponta Gordon Library. It's Monday, so
we're gonna be talking with Dan Perkins coming up in
the ten o'clock And what else we got, Well, apparently
I really have to temper my tongue when discussing the
(08:33):
ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham and Dick Stolen, Valor Bloomenthal. These
guys just they're warmongers and they want nothing more than
to drag us in with NATO to a war with Russia.
You can say what you want about Putin. I'm a
little yeah, you would hope that his discussion. See Putin
(08:54):
already knows. Putin knows he's his beef isn't with Trump.
His beef is with the CIO and the Deep State
who continue this crap behind Trump's back to keep this
war going in Ukraine, and the ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham
and Dick Stolen Valor Blumenthal are part of that group
(09:15):
of people who want nothing more than to see your
kids killed in a war that is completely unnecessary and
what we're doing now they were very happy with the
overly dramatic Margaret Brennan yesterday on the CBS. The action
appears to center around confiscation of Russian assets, Russian and
(09:39):
Central Bank reserves held in European bonds. Now the money
belongs to the people of Russia in the form of
bonds previously purchased by Russia using a system that many
nations follow, including all those nations who buy US treasuries.
So if the USA or Europe end up confiscating those funds,
the only thing this action is going to prove is
(10:00):
that the Western financial system cannot be trusted, and a
whole lot of nations are already reluctant. Some are fleeing
from the US EU treasuries as a result of this threat,
and we're seeing changes in the bond rates as well.
So Graham doesn't care about that. He's a piece of garbage,
a total piece of effeminine garbage. He doesn't care about
(10:24):
the strategic financial interests of the US. He's more concerned
about fighting Russia, regardless of the long term ramifications. I
agree with Sun Dance on that wholeheartedly. He's just a
piece of garbage. I have absolutely nothing. I equate Lindsey
Graham with Hillary Clinton. I equate Lindsey Graham with the
(10:45):
deep State. I equate Lindsey Graham with nothing but a Democrat.
He's worse than a rhino. Clear on that.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks on News
Radio fifteen eighty WCCs.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
My mind is still quill thoughts of you.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I think about the days up to search the root,
budge on that litter, refew the girls, every winner.

News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM, WCCF
just about nine to twenty four here on a Monday.
Phone lines are open here at Charlie County Speaks nine
four one two zero six, fifteen eighty. A lot of
stories on this over to Matt VESPA town Hall has
got a little update on it. Did you see? I mean,
(12:21):
you can pull this crap in New York, California just about,
but don't don't try this in Tampa. Turning Point USA
held its Student Action summit in Tampa last week and
during the event, some anti Trump clown Trevor Smith, if
(12:41):
you saw the video online's he pulls up across the
street from him because there were a bunch of people
standing out in front of the conference center where they
were having it, wearing all wearing the Maga hat and whatnot,
and he jumps out of his little le suv and
tries to antagonize some of the intendees who were standing outside.
(13:03):
Did not end well for him first, mister Smith. Uh,
not only did he get smacked around a bit by
the cop when he was trying to pick a fight
and the cops, he shoves somebody and that's when the
cop decided to get involved and the guy tries to
Trevor tries to run back to his suv and get in,
but he trips up, falls over, and the cop puts
(13:28):
him in a headlock. And it turns out that Trevor
had been drinking so on top of an assault charge.
He's getting a dewey. Ah, not gonna work out. This
isn't yeah, it's Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Man. Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
If you've seen the video, it's it's up all over
you see it at the town hall, the Facebook, the X,
the Insta. He tried to Yeah, he shut lunged one
of the guys. He lunged it to some guy. Blaze Media,
(14:11):
corresponding Julio Rosas was following the filming the whole thing.
It was just fun to watch and just stupid. You
know what, what are you going to do? Lone drunk guy,
You're going to take on a bunch of people at TPUSA.
It's never going to end well for you. Don't do it.
Just settle down, kids, And this is just making the
Left just look even worse with a lot of people.
(14:35):
New poll out reveals a sharp decline in support for
the Democrat Party since the twenty twenty four election. Frustrated
voters say the party has just drifted so far from
the concerns of everyday Americans, and instead of focusing on inflation,
border security, public safety, Democrats are increasingly obsessed with destroying
(14:58):
Trump's legacy, just doing nothing about a bunch of woke,
virtue signaling, and identity politics Unite the Country conducted the
poll a Democrat super pack just saying their own poll
shows that many voters, especially white men, Hispanic men, and
(15:19):
working class Americans, see the Democrat Party as woke, weak,
and disconnected from everyday realities. The party's approval rating is
dipped below thirty five percent, raising serious concerns about its
ability to rebound before the twenty twenty eight elections held
the twenty twenty six midterms. Adding to the challenge, enthusiasm
(15:39):
among the Democrat base has continued to decline following the
twenty four elections, signaling deep frustration within the party's own ranks.
Democrat strategist Rodell Molonneux acknowledged that the Democrat Party is
facing a serious perception problem. He said, many Americans beyond
just the MAGA base see the party negatively, and unless
(16:02):
the Democrats accept this reality, which it does not seem
that they have yet to do, it's going to be
very difficult for them to make any headway in regaining
the trust of the American people and the Democrat base
in general. He emphasized that this view isn't limited to
far right critics but it also includes voters who should
(16:23):
naturally support the party. Quote, Democrats need to realize that
in order to improve and get better to not only
win twenty twenty eight, but twenty thirty and beyond, they're
going to have to do a little bit of self reflection,
which again they just don't seem to do. A CNN
SSRs poll from earlier this year shows the Democrat Party
(16:47):
facing historically low approval, just twenty nine percent of Americans
viewing the party favorably, the lowest level since CNN began
tracking the data. Even the Democrat leaning voters are unhappy,
fifty eight percent saying the party needs significant changes or
a total overhaul. Only sixteen percent of voters say Democrats
(17:07):
provide strong leadership. They have no leadership ability at all.
It's always a blame game. They take no responsibility for
anything that they've done. That's not leadership. The numbers reflect
a growing frustration, especially among young and independent voters, posing
serious challenges for Democrats as they look ahead to the
(17:29):
twenty twenty six elections. So, I mean, that's it's good
news for the right, but that doesn't mean that we
don't have our own problems as well. That we need
to get under control and places like California. Bob Eitzer
(17:52):
had a piece last week, Californian's useless Republicans, And we're
talking about the GOP, the elected GOP, and the party itself.
The people who run the GOP in California just grifters.
Almost weekly, another Republican in the once golden state tells
(18:16):
Robert Ditzler he or she is leaving for a red state.
Formerly the envy of the nation, California, which used to
be read, is now in steep decline due to decades
of botch Democrat leadership and policies. However, some pathetic Republican
leaders share responsibility for the state's failures, which pile up
(18:36):
faster than feces and needles on a San Francisco street.
When accused of not holding firm, they claim there's little
they can do as the minority party. Well, to an extent,
they're correct. Current voter registration in California breaks out Democrats
at forty six point two percent, Republicans twenty four point
(18:57):
seven percent, NPA's twenty nine nine point one. Some of
those other voters are former Republicans who threw up their
hands in disgust and registered as NPA. The category also
includes folks who want to turn cities into communi assess pools.
But enough about Karen Bass. Here's three recent examples of
(19:18):
California Republican leaders lacking strong America First principles. Registered Republicans
are regularly inundated with emails text letters from the californ
California Republican Party CRP begging for contributions. Steve Frank of
California News and Views reported that the CRP will be
(19:40):
paying a massive ten thousand dollars for an opera singer
to sing the Star Spangled banner during the CRP's September
three day statewide convention in Orange County. Performances planned for
the Saturday evening dinner ten grand. What's their job to
(20:04):
recruit more voters and to help fund candidates, not piss
away money for a minute and a half? Ten grand
for well, if you stretch it, you can get over
two minutes, but for the most part, less than two minutes.
This lage, God bless her. Whoever the opera singer is
ten grand, good on you. I'd take the money all
(20:26):
day long, but it's stupid money, and they shouldn't be
spending it on that. According to those who follow the
CRP Chair Cornin, Rankin approved the outlay without board approval.
Chair Rankin informed the board that her friend is singing
at a discount and she didn't allow any discussion for it.
(20:47):
California Republicans, whose mailboxes and inboxes are stuffed with CRP
donation requests are going to be thrilled that the previous
chair earned an annual sal You know how much she
makes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year plus benefits, bonuses,
(21:08):
and travel expenses. The current chair salary was increased to
a whopping two hundred and sixty thousand plus benefits, bonuses,
and travel expenses. How greasy Gavin's only getting two hundred
and twenty four thousand. It's disgusting. So while they think
they're in the minority, so there's nothing they can do,
(21:29):
so let's just piss away the money. That's not being
a Republican. Compare the Republican chair's huge salary to the
chairman of the California Democrat Party, who earns only one
hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. Apparently losing pays in California.
There's about eighty five words in our national anthem ten
(21:49):
thousand dollars. It comes to about one hundred and eighteen
bucks a word. How many local talented singers would have
been honored to sing this glorious song at the Republican
Convention for nothing, just to get it on the resume. Instead,
California GOP chair Coorin Rankin signed the contract that will
(22:10):
let her opera singer friend belt out the song for
ten grand.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, he says, maybe the song should start with those say,
can you see how the California GOP wastes our money
on the true The extravagant ten grand expenditure by the
CRP chair Koran Rankin offers a prime example of why
America First Patriots in California donate directly to candidates and
ignore the elitist CRP. Some GOP state lawmakers don't even
(22:41):
know the meaning of illegal. Anyone who enters the US
illegally has broken our laws. End of story. And while
no one disputes that some illegal aliens are worse than others,
it doesn't change the fact that if someone comes into
our country without proper documentation and processing, they're here illegally.
On June twenty seventh, six Republican legislators signed a letter
(23:05):
to President Trump that now provides Democrats with ammunition in
their assault on Trump's goal of deporting illegal aliens. The
Republicans are Diane Dixon in the seventy second District. Lori
Davies seventy fourth District wrote, Wow, they're all one dude,
and the rest are women. The Karens of the gop
(23:27):
Rosalissi o'hawa bolg in the nineteenth Heath Oh the two
dudes Heath Flora, ninth district, Susette Valderez twenty third District,
Brian Jones, the Senate Minority leader. Two page letter includes
the usual YadA YadA YadA about supporting ICE, wanting illegal
alien criminals deporting, and working with Trump administration on an
(23:50):
immigration program. That's all fine, but what part of illegal
do these Republican setters and Assembly members not understand? Americas
did this dance with Reagan in nineteen eighty six. The
Immigration Reform and Control Act got totally screwed over by
Kennedy on that one, and he fell for it and
(24:14):
shouldn't do it again. It's going to be grossly unfair
to immigrants who legally come to the United States through
the long and very costly legal process, and as President
Trump repeatedly said during the campaign, all illegal immigrants who
invaded our country must return to their home nations. Trump
never hinted at work programs, exemptions, visa programs, or anything
(24:36):
except mass deportation. America First patriots will be livid if
exemptions or amnesty are offered after the Big Beautiful Bill
gives ICE and other law enforcement agencies and necessary funding
to deport them. And on top of all that, the
Orange County Board of Supervisors discreetly voted itself a hefty
(25:00):
twenty five percent salary increase. The five member OCBOS has
three Democrats and two Republicans. Democrat Katrina Foley is up
for reelection this year, so it made sense see anyway
for her to vote no to avoid giving her opponents
another talking point about her radical leftist views. With Democratolly
(25:22):
fully voting it down, the two Republican supervisors had an
outstanding after opportunity to stop the wasteful forty nine thousand
dollars per supervisor raise, And to quote John Belushi from
Saturday Night Live, when the show was actually funny button. Instead,
(25:42):
Republican supervisors Jenet mcgwinn and Donald Wagner voted yes to
give themselves a fifty to forty nine thousand dollars a
year raise. So, following the public outcry, the two Democrats
who voted yes promised to donate their rais, which really
means a Democrat supervisors of Ascent Sarmiento and Doug Chafe
are just donating our tax dollars, Sarmiento, or their tax dollars. Rather,
(26:06):
Sarmiento plans to donate his entire forty nine thousand dollars
California tax dollars to help the illegal aliens pay fees
and immigration courts. What joy. The two Republicans could have
stopped the whole thing, yet they didn't California GOP. That's
why I always say a California Republican is a Democrat
(26:27):
anyplace else. Democrat policies in California provide the hammers that
are building a third World state, with some Republican leaders
providing the nails. Sadly, so, don't expect the California GOP
to make any headway anytime soon out there when they're
acting as bad, if not worse than Democrats two oh
(26:48):
six fifteen eighty toll free eight eight eight four four
one fifteen eighty. Also, I can't you know this whole
deal with Mom Donnie. He's taken what he oh, he's
taking a boat. He's decrying millionaires, decrying the rich. But
(27:10):
he's taken a bolt load of money from who would
be George Soros of course, and uh Antonio Griffeco a
grisepho rather over it to a gateway puntic kind of
to a certain degree, as the same opinion as me.
(27:31):
I'm of the opinion love Curtis Sliwa, but again you're
looking at only what's the breakout again, fifty six in
New York fifty six percent registered Democrat, twenty six percent Republican,
eighteen percent NPA. No statistical way that Sliwa can win.
(27:58):
Might be close. He's hoping that with all these independents
that's going to give him a shot, but it's not.
I don't think I think the best course of action
is for Sliwa to drop out and endorse Eric Adams
and helped to get out the vote for Eric. Nobody.
(28:21):
Eric ain't great. I'm not saying he is, But he's
a damn sight better than Cuomo or the little effeminent
gi Hoti. Curtis Leewa, if you recall, founder of the
Guardian Angels, longtime New York civic activists, and he's once
again the nominee for Mary He's ran several times. He's
(28:41):
running unopposed in the GOP primary. Known for his signature
red beret decades of volunteer crime fighting, Sleewa casts himself
as the only candidate seriously addressing public safety, quality of life,
and the needs of the outer boroughs. But his platform
calls for restoring the NYPD budget cut that's good, hiring
seven thousand new officers, fine, deploying five hundred undercover cops
(29:05):
in the subway, and reinstating qualified immunity. He proposes funding
these initiatives by forcing institutions like Madison Square, bart Garden
and NYU to finally pay property taxes. Slee Wall also
supports repealing the City of Yes zoning plan, capping the
number of migrant and homeless shelters, and blocking the construction
(29:25):
of lithian ion battery storage sites and residential neighborhoods. That's
a dangerous, dangerous prospect. A staunch animal welfare advocate, he
created a separate Protect Animals ballot line to underscore his
commitment to the issue. He's a good guy. I'm not
saying he's not. He's not always in step with Trump.
(29:46):
He voted third party in twenty twenty, but he backed
Trump this year last year. Rather, Sliwa maintains he's not
the Trump pick, preferring to present himself as an independent minded,
street level leader. He was arrested but not proud secut
it during a twenty twenty three protest against illegal immigration
outside Gracie Mansion, and he continues to reject political theater
(30:08):
in favor of what he calls real solutions to crime,
fair evasion, and urban decay. Mondani, by contrast, is running
on a Democrat socialist platform that proposes a ten billion
dollar tax increase on businesses which will drive them out
of the city and high earners as well, which will
(30:29):
drive them out of the city. Free city bus service again,
how can it be free? I mean, public transportation is
a money pit. It never ever, ever, ever pays for itself.
So now you're not going to charge anybody for it.
Where you going to get the money? He wants to
freeze rents on stabilized departments city owned grocery stores thirty
(30:53):
dollars minimum wage by twenty thirty. He supports the boycott
the BDS against Israel, has described Israel's actions in Gaza's genocide.
His support for BDS and refusal to affirm Israel's right
to exist have drawn a strong backlash from Jewish groups
in New York City and during the campaign. Mamdani also
(31:15):
sparked controversy for refusing to condemn the phrase globalize the Intifada,
a slogan associated with valient, violent anti Israel protests since
the Hamas Led massacre on October seventh, twenty three. Pressed
repeatedly in interviews, mam Doni defended the phrase as a
desperate desire for equality. God, he's so lame, and claim
(31:40):
that Meyers should not police speech, only his speech. Though
critics argue that his proposals are economically reckless. They're economically thoughtless, vapid,
they won't work. His plan to open city run grocery stores,
one in each borough has been why condemned is totally
(32:01):
unrealistic and wasteful. Experts note that grocery retail is one
of the most competitive, low margin industries in the economy,
and even companies like Amazon have struggled to turn a
profit in that sector. Government run stores would face higher
cost due to civil service rules and would likely operate
at a loss, just like his bus service, undercutting the
(32:22):
private stores, distorting the market and subsidizing wealthier concern consumers
who don't need the help. Meanwhile, his rent free proposal,
one of his most radical and potentially destructive ideas, could
worsen the cities already distorted housing market, drive small landlords
out of business. His free bus plan going to blow
(32:42):
a seven hundred million dollar hole in the transit budget,
and his tax hikes would trigger an exodus of high
earners who fund most of the city's services. Mandani supports
eliminating qualified immunity for police office, which means you're gonna
have a lot less police. But he'll have his community police. Yeah,
(33:04):
a bunch of hardcore muzzies advocating public safety reform. Though
he's not called for abolishing the NYPD, it looks like
that's what his plans are. His campaign is backed by
the Democrat Socialists of America. Bernie and Occasional Cortex are
also in favor of that, So that tells you how
(33:27):
good it is. While his platform has energized some progressive voters,
is radical economic proposals, hostility towards Israel, and market interventionist
instincts that made him a deeply, deeply polarizing figure. Sliwa,
on the other hand, offers a clear policy contrast on
core issues public safety, calls for expanding the NYPD, restoring funding.
(33:52):
He knows what he's talking about doing forty six years
of crime fighting with the Guardian Angels in New York City.
So Eric Adams, the incumbent running as an independent. He
campaigns on what he calls a record of practical accomplishments,
claiming that violent crime has dropped to historic lows, five
(34:12):
hundred thousand new jobs have been created, and affordable housing
has expanded during his tenure. He's still getting a lot
of pushback from law enforcement veterans. They dismissed the crime
stats as misleading. Adams rejected the defund the police movement.
He is a retired detective and increased He put more
(34:36):
cops on the subways, Yet transit crime surged in twenty
three and twenty four with spikes and robberies, assaults in
grand larsonies. Despite occasional monthly dips, violent crime rose overall
in twenty twenty four. So again, as much as Sliewa
(34:57):
looks good, I just don't think he's got statistically the
amount of people that are going to vote for him.
Adams has baggage on him, but I don't think he's
going to have as much baggage in contrast to Mom Donnie.
It just seems to me that the yeah, if you
want to save New York, a rally behind Adams and
(35:19):
do what you can to get rid of and get
rid of the crime in his next term. Maybe Sliwa
can play a role in Adam's cabinet. I don't know.
We'll see how it goes, but I just don't see
any any way for Sliwa to win the Meyrit, though
I wish he would. And you notice nobody in this
(35:42):
art of nobody, nobody is talking about Cuomo. Can you
hear me all the way back there?
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Your immaturity is extremely disappointing.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I am really.
Speaker 1 (35:52):

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Is it just me of the day?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
You say you're gonna get your life together?

Speaker 3 (38:17):
It's news radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FMWCCF
just about nine fifty six here Charlotte County Speaks. Coming
up in the ten o'clock after a fake news radio
web day, will be talking with Dan Perkins about stuff. Hey,
(38:37):
everybody's been wondering where the Viveke Ramaswami's been. Well, he's
running for governor in Ohio, but you can check him
out in Times Square. Have you seen this? Veveke is
set to debut a new billboard ad in Times Square
on Monday, and if you look at it, you got
the jihad mom Dammi. On one side it says ready
(38:58):
to flee New York picture of the Jihati and then
underneath radical socialist Zoran man Nami, and then on the
other side it says move to Ohio, protecting freedom. Vivek
Ramaswami great marketing it's true. We've seen stories where New
(39:26):
York real estate agents are saying, man, there's a bunch
of Jews who want to get out of here because
the guy is a total andy semi. So I think
it's pretty nice. What we at fifty grand for the
new ad blitz that he's spending in the Big Apple.
And so far the pack which is pro Ramaswami super
(39:49):
Pac Vivek super Pac has raised seventeen million dollars so
far for his goobernatorial bid. So what, whether you lie
the Avec or not. Pretty clever. And after everything that's
happened with Musk, harken back to when Mousc and Viveke
(40:12):
we're having their little tizzy with each other, could be
of Vivec was the one who was right, just saying,
just food for thought. What you think is going on
might not really be what's going on? Oh today, by
(40:36):
the way, today, as well as some other days, National
Nude Day, really National Nude Day. Okay, well whatever, it's
a little rainy, might get wet. Fifty It's also Mac
and Cheese Day. We love the mac and cheese. I
(40:59):
have had mac and cheese in quite a while. It's
just not something my buy. You know, it's like for me,
it's like a holiday type food anyway. But chances are
somebody in your household is going to put up a
big fight to have mac and cheese for every meal.
Kids love it National Mac and Cheese Day. New survey.
(41:19):
Eighty six percent of Americans say it's an adult food,
not just for kids. Fifty four percent eat macaroni and
cheese weekly because it's the economy stupid, and most of
them preferred for dinner as opposed to lunch. As a passion,
It's real. People are very passionate about the mac and cheese.
Fifty six percent would give up coffee or social media
(41:43):
before giving up mac and cheese. I'd give up. I'd
easily give up social media and mac and cheese before
I will give up my coffee. Yeah, could you really
follow through on that? Other stats? Thirty two percent of
people say mac and cheese is their top comfort food,
(42:05):
and it is good comfort food. More than seventy five
percent eat it with a fork, not a spoon. Okay,
we'll be back in a short short.
