Speaker 7 (06:16):
Florid is just hours away from carrying out the death
sentence of a convicted killer, Michael Benord Bell. Bell is
set to be executed for the murders of Jimmy West
and Tamika Smith, which took place in Jacksonville in December ninth,
nineteen ninety three. According to court records, in June of
ninety three, Theodore Wright killed Michael Bell's brother in self
defense out of revenge. Bell acted six months later when
(06:38):
he spotted what he believed was Wright's Plymouth fury parked.
Bell acted six months later when he spotted what he
believed was Wright's Plymouth fury parked outside at Jacksonville night spot.
Reports indicate that Belle killed the couple mistakenly believing they
were connected to Wright. Although we recognized West as Wright's
brother before opening fire, he did, I don't realize he
(07:00):
had killed the wrong person. Multiple attempts by Bell's attorneys
to haut today's execution have been very unsuccessful. Just last week,
the Florida Supreme Court dismissed arguments claiming that witnesses who
helped convict Bell wanted to change their testimonies. The Florida
Supreme Court rejected those claims. The only remaining options for
Bell to stay alive are an appeal to the United
(07:22):
States Supreme Court and a clemency request to the governor.
Bell is the eighth man set to be executed just
after six pm today at the Florida State Prison near Stark.
John Coke Stark.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Thank you, John, So I guess we'll find out more
about that later on this afternoon. Let's run on down
King's Highway. Check in old Jim Harrington down at your
CBD store fund of gord to Port, Charlotte. Jim, How
you doing what?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Ken? Good morning, my friend? How you doing today?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Not too bad, not too shabby. Looks like we're going
to be getting some more rain.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Again and they and tomorrow. Yes, but you know what,
let's bring it. We need it. It breaks things up,
breaks the eat up. So no complaints.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, So how's the store doing? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I'm so glad to talk to you this morning because
I had a guy come in yesterday right before I
close on Monday, and there's about two forty five he
came in. The reason I liked this story. He spent
twenty years in the Army at a pretty high level
and he's sixty six now, still working. Moved down to
the southwest Florida two years ago, still working. He has
(08:29):
his own business and doing pretty hard work. And he
called me on the phone and said he had tingling
numbness in his feet and I said, well, that's perphil neulopathy.
And I said I can absolutely help you with that.
I see it three or four times a day, sometimes more.
He came in. We did one foot like always, We
took the topical paint cream. He says, what's going on?
(08:49):
He has nerve damaging the feet that protected coading called
the milan sheet that protects the nerves in your feet
has been eroded by something. It could be diabetes, could
be chemo, could be ready. But anyway, we put that
cream on one foot. He sat in a chair and
he's kind of laughing at him, and he's thinking, you know,
this is not going to work. And I'm explaining to
him how it works, and he said, you know, he said,
(09:10):
I don't care about all the medical terms. All I
care about when I stand up, is my foot going
to feel better. And I said, we'll just relax. And
when long story short, he stood up. He goes, I
don't believe this. It's unbelievable. He goes, but Jim, something
else happened. He said, I'm terrible. I write this in
my hands and I forgot to tell you about that.
But my feet are the main issue because I'm on
my feet working all day. When I loved it on
(09:31):
my feet, my hand doesn't hurt anymore, he said. The
residual effect that got on my hands, he said, my
hands feels great. He goes, I want some of that,
and then he told me have some issues that his
wife was having as well, because she's still working and
she travels a lot, so we got her some products too.
But I was so happy to help a twenty year
veteran sort in our country and really easily in just
(09:54):
a matter of minutes, no side effects, no drug interactions
because he was on some medications. And I said, you
don't have a care in the world to study in
your blood street and he was thrilled. He was Actually,
we're actually going to partner up him and I and
do some other small business things together because he was
a great guy, interesting guy. It was really nice end
the day with him coming in and just the pleasure
(10:14):
to help a veteran like that. Well, Teddy heard your
show and that's what made him call. So thank you.
My friend has always been You've been helping me out
for a good law almost seven years now.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the help that you've been given
people too, and myself and my dad and uh, like

cream onto they love it and they wind up getting

You got to say that so nobody steals it. I
love that. So ket I was doing a delivery. I
even delivered. I'm just waiting to post on this rain
snow sweeter hell. I stepped ahead of my truck Friday
and it was storming. I mean it was storming and storming,
but I hadn't started raining. I was kind of in
(12:13):
the middle, Port Charlotte. I stepped onto their driveway. Can
lightning hit. I thought it's over. It's been a good life,
but it's I mean, it hits. My whole body lit out.
I mean, it was right next to me, Like lord,
I gotta figure something out with this. It scared the
hell out of me. I mean I was I'm not
scared of thunderstorms at all. They're kind of exciting. This
(12:34):
scared the hell out of me. I can jump back
to the truck of I'm gonna ride this thing out
before I dropped this. Yeah, because that was too intense.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I don't care who you are. I'm not scared of
him either. Until the lightning hits forty feet away from you.
When the thunder and the lightning at the same time,
that's when you know you're too damn close. And yeah,
it'll it'll make you peel a little.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Well, I don't put all that, did.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You know what I mean? Att scare you to look.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Around from now when I do deliveries. If you see
me sitting in your driveway for a few minutes, I'm
coming moving through the weather. Because until that point I
was carefree. I'm not carefree anymore. I'm scared of that. Well.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And also, man, you've been seeing these uh water spouts
and stuff uh several times over the last couple of
weeks out over the Gulf, so you got to be
careful out there on the beach as well. You saw
those people up in uh what is it, Santa Belle
getting uh, you know, feeling the effects of a lightning
strike right there on the beach, So you got to
be careful out there.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
They had one over the weekend. Three people or two
people got struck up in Saint Augustine on the pier
got hit by lightning.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Hey, you know end times, man, they're coming to get you.
Gotta be careful out there.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Deem into my past, coming back to harm. That's it, man, all.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Right, Jim, have a great day, folks. Get down there
and see Jim. Even if you just have some questions.
Walk in. He'll be more than happy to answer him,
and you might walk out feeling a lot better than
when he went in. Jim Harrington at your CBD store.
Thank you, buddy. We'll talk to you again real soon.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
I'm a fan.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
An audio engineering, those which gear there is.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You need to run your source through the DNS fifteen
hundred first. This always did feel like one of those
shows that will go for a.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
While, will be right back with Charlotte County Speaks on
News Radio fifteen to eighty WCCF.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Jamie Diamond Crushes the Donkeys.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
He was a given a speech and he went off
and said the Democratic Party, well, this is obvious went
way too far and it's focus on DEI prioritizing ideology
over any sort of actual practical solution to the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
But it makes me feel good, he said.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and
they're idiots.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Quote.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
I always say, they have big hearts and little brains.
They do not understand how the real world works. Almost
every single policy rolled out failed. And again, you know
the funny thing is is that they don't learn.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They don't learn.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
It's Ovali's the next person out there that's gonna repeat
the policy, but they're gonna somehow make it work. Watchdog
on Wallstreet dot Com.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
I've got around and I've seen some things. People thinking fast,
the speed of self, faster than a speeding bullet. People
living like Superman all day and all night. And I
won't say if it's wrong, I won't say if it's right,
I'll create it fast myself. But I know how some
(16:16):
advice to pass along right here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
In the woods of this song.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
If your bonde put it, you can keep your head down.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine f m
w c CL just about nine thirty here, little bb
king better not look down. That's true these days. Got
to keep your head on a swivel two six, fifteen
eighty Toll free eight aight eight four four one fifteen
eighty phone lines here at Charlote County Speaks are open
(17:07):
and heading over to Sundance. So what do we got here?
We got fifty days for vlad to finish up his
Ukraine operations and get to a peace deal, big Q
and a session yesterday with the President. But as expected,
(17:27):
nobody in the media pool asked the key question. I
don't I wonder if any of you were thinking about
the fact if Ukraine's not a NATO member and they aren't,
and Russia's not a NATO member and they aren't, then
why the hell is NATO even involved here? Nobody asked
(17:47):
the question. Now, there's good news and bad news within
the outline strategy, more good than bad, despite the spin
room narrative engineering being immediately spread by the US media. First,
President Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin fifty days
to finish his strategic military operation in Ukraine before a
(18:08):
one hundred percent tariff rate is executed against the Russian economy.
With direct US trade with Russia already not happening, the
tariff would likely be applied toward any country purchasing any
goods or resources from Russia, specifically India, China, and Iran.
And Second, despite the ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham and the
(18:32):
EU leaders discussing the confiscation of Russian assets held in
the EU USA bonds, neither President Trump nor NATO General
Secretary Mark Root mentioned it, and again the media never
asked that question either, and thankfully, President Trump seems to
realize if such a confiscation took place, the financial credibility
of the entire Western finance system would be compromised. No
(18:56):
nation would want to put their national wealth at risk
by buying US and EA treasury bonds. And Third, the
part to the mainstream media seems to want to focus on.
In the interim of the fifty days, NATO will be
both purchasing and moving offensive and defensive weapons systems to Ukraine.
On the defensive weapons side, Germany's likely going to send
(19:18):
Patriot missile batteries and NATO's going to replace them with
new US purchases. In addition, all NATO states are going
to provide increased offensive weapons and purchases will be made
from US stockpiles, and those new offensive weapons will likely
be held back until the end of the fifty days
giving Putin something to think about to bring him to
(19:40):
the table. So Putin's got fitted days in the interim,
NATO is approved by Trump to ship offensive and defensive
weapons into Ukraine, and the Senate sanctions package will continue
to be assembled, perhaps approved, but not deployed until after
the one hundred percent tariffs are executed if Russia is
(20:01):
not compliant on the table. So the carrot for Vlad
is the fifty days to get finished. The stick is
all Hell's going to break loose on Russia, including new
offensive weapons if Putin doesn't end the conflict prior to
the fifty day deadline. And surprisingly I'm not you know me,
(20:25):
I'm not a fan of Senator John Thun, the Senate
Majority leader, but you got to give credit where credit
is due, and Senator Thun did a good job here
by letting Trump work on the Russia Ukraine problem and
await his request for more legislative tools. That I mean
(20:46):
that deserves a round of applause for Soon just saying
they're letting Trump be Trump and he's trying to stop
this US NATO prox he war by cutting the Gordian
knot in Ukraine. So I'm glad that Thune didn't listen
(21:06):
to Lindsey and Blumenthal stolen valor Bloomenthal on this whole deal.
So we'll see how the next fifty days plays out.
You might consider prayer because war takes everything everything, As JB.
(21:37):
Shre points out and Peter Schweitzer too noted in a
short report for the Hoover Institution long time back twenty
five years ago, the United States in two thousand was
spending less on defense as a percentage of GNP Gross
National product than any time since the Great Depression. And
(22:00):
that all changed nine months later when the so called
peace dividend from the collapse of the Soviet Union and
the end of the Cold War was reinvested in a
global war on terrorism where apparently you and I are
the terrorists. Eight trillion dollars later, and what do Americans
have to show for their sacrifices in blood and treasure?
(22:22):
Taliban's still in control of Afghanistan, al Qaeda's in control
of Syria. An apologist for Islamic jihad is about to
become mayor of New York City. In Minneapolis too. Do
you see that freak show looking dude? Ooh, he doesn't
look just a bit psycho does he We'll get to
him later, and a pro homos contingent of lawmakers wielding
(22:45):
way too much power in Congress. In an article that
resembles an obituary for US foreign policy during the twenty
first century, writer Daniel McAdams dryly observes in the headline
global war on Terror is over terror one. That's quite
a gut punch for anybody who lived through nine to
eleven and its aftermath. Yet it's not inaccurate at all.
(23:09):
Quarter century after Islamo terrorists murdered three thousand Americans, politicians
are more concerned about islamaphobia in the US And once again,
I'm not islamophobic, I'm anti Islam. Big difference, kids. You
might want to get on board with it before they
get on all over you. Providing adequate quair for veterans
(23:32):
who confronted Islamic barbarity. That seems to be the hurt
feelings of those who risk nothing to defend the homeland
matter more than the damaged bodies and minds of those
who risked everything. Significance of nine to eleven has been
so watered down that Congresswoman Elon the terrorist Omar remembers.
(23:53):
It only is a day when quote, some people did
something for those victims. We lost their families, members of
the military who fought and died on the global battlefield,
and the families of those service members who never saw
their loved ones again. That's something was by far the
most consequential event in their lives. Now it's just an
(24:13):
opportunity for foreigners who become members of Congress to try
and guilt trip white people for their imaginary privilege. After
nine to eleven, everybody insisted that we left our guard
down and somehow brought the tragedy upon ourselves. If we
had only continued spending on defense at the same high
levels that we'd been spending since World War Two, then
(24:35):
we could have prevented the worst attack on American soil
since the Japanese Empire bomb Pearl Harbor in nineteen forty one.
That's a line of crap, but that was a supposed lesson.
Didn't matter that we're still spending more than every other
country in the world. As soon as we cut back
on Cold War military spending, we suffered another surprise attack.
(24:55):
We were vulnerable. Everyone agreed unless we rededicated tax dollers
towards huge military budgets. Everybody in the defense sector got
big buckets of money after that. Weapons manufacturers, R and
D firms, intel, think tanks, foreign policy consultancy made out
like fat bandits. FBI got new domestic surveillance powers, Department
(25:19):
of Homeland Security TSA came into existence, the two biggest
worthless departments in our government became a thing. The CIA
positioned itself once again as the unofficial quarterback at the
US government, and there still are over in Ukraine. Unelected bureaucrats,
in other words, became much more powerful than they were
(25:41):
before nine to eleven, and the defense industry started cash
in much bigger checks. And all the institutions that experienced
a diminishment of clout and prestige after the Cold War
found their clout and prestige supercharged in the post nine
to eleven world. And that's pretty sobering reminder that some
people all benefit from tragedy. So how'd the American people
(26:03):
make out? How'd we do not so well? Not so
well at all? In return for a foreign attack on
US soil, Americans lost any claims to their privacy. The
Patriot Act apparently already written and ready to go long before.
As soon as a sufficient emergency could justify as patch
(26:24):
its passage in Congress, it birth the modern national security
surveillance state. Americans lost control over their bank records, phone calls,
text messages, emails. It became common to hear politicians justify
this loss as personal privacy, as a trifling matter for
Americans with nothing to hide. On nine to eleven, foreign
(26:45):
terrorists murdered US citizens. After nine to eleven, the US
government murdered the Fourth Amendment. The Americans also saw the
accelerated migration of foreign nationals into their local communities. Bush,
what I tell you, we gotta we've gotta fight them
over there, or they're gonna come here. Meanwhile, he's shipping
them all here and their mosques. How'd that were? How's
(27:08):
that working out? In Texas? In Minneapolis, in Dearborn, both
George W and Barry Hussain seemed to agree that American
citizens were responsible not only for prosecuting a global war
on terrorism, but also for resettling the refugees from newly
occupied territories into the US. The end result has been
(27:29):
a confusing, disruptive injection of multi culty bs that Americans
known that defending their way of life would involve importing
millions of foreign nationals with a different way of life
and no ability or desire to assimilate. Would never have
(27:50):
supported post nine to eleven wars in parts of Asia, Africa,
in the Middle East. We never would have effectively. The
US government responded to the worst to tack since World
War II by going to war for twenty years, tearing
up parts of the Constitution and undermining americans shared culture.
Those politicians and bureaucrats in DC have seen their powers
(28:12):
expand this century believe the enormous costs in lives and
dollars are justified. Those industries that profit from endless war
have much to celebrate some of those politicians who get
donations from those industries. But for many Americans, the Butcher's
Bill from this century's military conflicts has not been pretty,
(28:32):
and right now the drumbeat of war is growing louder.
Us European interests see Ukraine as an expendable chess piece
in a larger NATO led war against Russia. Why who knows?
As the death toll in Europe rises, Western warhawks continue
to demand that every last Ukrainian man be press ganged
(28:53):
into service. No secret. I have very much contempt for
those who ens Ukrainians die in this war when they're
not permitted to vote for elected representatives or even to
dissent publicly from the government currently hanging on to power
through martial law. Remember the little green guy that Vicky
(29:14):
Neulan and Samantha Powers and McCain at all put there
through a coup in twenty fourteen. Again, this is our fault.
There's nothing democratic about Ukrainian dictatorship and the Foreign Council
on Foreign Affairs. Types who lick their chops over the
possibility of defeating Russia and dismantling its enormous territory into
(29:36):
more digestible parts, can't stand blackrock vultures that can't wait
to gobble up the region's natural resources while making trillions
of dollars from government subsidized rebuilding projects across the war
torn terrain. I dislike bloodthirsty loudmouths such as the ambiguously
gay Lindsey Graham, who speaks of war as if it's
(29:57):
a playground game, because his ass isn't going to be
strapped up and playing the game. Macavelian politicians, particularly in
the EU who see war in Ukraine as a convenient
distraction from the exorbitant energy costs of climate change communism
presently destroying Western economies. I dislike those who would risk
(30:19):
miscalculations between nuclear powers over former Soviet lands whose peoples
largely identify as Russian, and if you read Sundance, he's
been over there. They're ready for war. The Russian people,
they're good to go without power and phones in the
internet when that happens on occasion. Our side are betters
(30:44):
in government. They don't have a clue what they're in for.
Can't stand those who prefer that Russian and Ukrainian Kis
Christians kill each other rather than seek peace. Looking at you,
Lindsay and Blumenthal. So before we ratchet up the slaughter
in Europe and expand the Russia NATO proxy war in
(31:05):
Ukraine into something even more devastating than it already is,
consider how much we've already sacrificed in the last twenty
five years. The peace divid end following the Cold War
didn't even last a decade, and when the US committed
itself to a post nine to eleven global war on
terrorism for the next twenty years, we watched our Bill
of Rights and Cultures slip away. Whether one thinks the
(31:28):
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were worth the cost, they weren't,
those costs will look minuscule next to the Butcher's Bill
that's going to come due in a full out war
between Russia and US and NATO, because it's going to
be Russian US. We've already discussed the lack of military
capabilities that most of the EU nations have, most of
(31:48):
our NATO partners have, They've been relying on us for
the entire time. Those European and American parents who think
that their children will never be drafted into service should
remember that Ukrainian parents once believe the same thing. How
many videos have you seen online of eighteen twenty forty
(32:10):
year old Ukrainian men being shoved into a van and
forced to go fight. There's an abyss that we're about
to fall into and if we do, we're going to
lose ourselves and the madness is going to be bloody awful,
and we will be lucky to see it through. War

better too, that we can avoid it.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
The worst thing that could happens to a show like
this is that it would ever become predictable.

I think we're going to have a real humdinger, hilarious,
witty and inspired, very great show.

I never really wanted to get married. I definitely didn't
want to get married. I don't want to have a wedding.
I don't want to do vows. I just want to
do concerns. I have a few concerns. First one, how
attached are you to this burning man tradition? Do you
(33:17):
guys know what burning man is?
Speaker 6 (33:19):
It's like.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
It's a great place to go breastfeed your pet ferret,
and he really wants me to go. I mean, if
I wanted to be a part of a dysfunctional community
of white people in the desert, I'd move to Arizona.
There's no showers. I need two baths a day. I
know there's a drought happening. Maybe my two baths. I
(33:43):
mean people in Barstow don't get bagels. But you know what,
something I.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Have learned to deal with.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
That's all a lie.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Let stalk my head, but I can already seen the.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
Ride from my bed.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I'm not alone then, I.
Speaker 10 (34:43):
Amuse people seem to think of Superman, but I want
father Bah.

I'm living in a big eagle.

There phone lines open nine four one two zero six,
fifteen eighty and you know, say what you will about
(35:16):
the Democrats, and I do, but you got to give
it to them. Florida Democrats, big protests, they had up
tampaway and aerial photos of it from Joones Sow's one thing.
The leftists here in Florida understand not to block the
(35:39):
streets because they're probably going to get run over. So
they're actually protesting on the sidewalk, showing their signs, doing
what protesters do, but they're not out trying to block
the streets. Very appreciative of that. I'm sure it has
a lot to do with the fact that they know
they're probably going to get run over down here. But nonetheless,
it was good to see that they're actually protesting in
(36:03):
a peaceful fashion, so that that again you got to
give credit where credit is due two six fifteen eighty

This on the Truth social from President Donald J. Trump
just about forty five minutes ago, where he says I
have always suspected shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,
(36:27):
and now I learn that Fannie May's Financial Crimes Division
have concluded that Adam Schiff is engaged in a sustained
pattern of possible mortgage fraud. He has to put the
possible in there. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence
was in Maryland to get a cheaper mortgage and rip
off America when he must live in California because he
(36:48):
was a congressman from California. I always knew Adam Shiff
was a crook. Pardon me uh. The fraud began with
the refinance of his Maryland property on February sixth, two
thousand and nine, and continued through multiple transactions until the
Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on
(37:12):
October thirteenth, twenty twenty. Mortgage fraud is very serious and
crooked Adam Schiff. Now a senator needs to be brought
to justice.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
Here here.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Now isn't Letitia the power hungry hippo James also accused
of similar things on multiple occasions. I believe she is.
She should be brought to justice as well. Just say it,
throwing that out there for you, Just say, hey, you know,
I'm not a gambler by any stretch of the imagination.
(37:46):
Just getting out of beds gamble enough for me. But
the Palms Casino in Resort recently opened its first ever
who No social club. It must be like you all
pot y'all put into the kitty and whoever wins gets
(38:07):
the pot. It must be how it is. But Palms
Casino just opened its first ever UNO social club in Vegas.
It sounds like it's a temporary thing for select groups
of UNO enthusiasts. Do you like playing the I like
playing the Uno? Always a fun time. Tons of UNO gaming,
food and drinks, as well as game inspired decor, bowling,
(38:30):
pool and other awesomeness out there. According to Mattel, which
owns UNO, more of these temporary suites are expected to
open up across the US later this year. Sounds like
It's mostly a stunt made for social media hypes, so
they're not bringing full on Uno gaming tables to actual
casino floors yet. But if you get a secret joy
(38:51):
out of making chains of skips or versus Wild's draw fours,
could be something to keep on your radar. I think
it'd be fun. That might actually get me to go
to Vegas. Or if there's several lacrosse, you know, maybe
they get one out at Tampa or over at the Seminole.
You know, I would do that. That to me, that's
not that that'd be a kick in the shorts right

Disney is uh. I guess it's big news for that
(39:37):
cousin who still wears a Mickey Mouse Watch. Disney adults
are getting their own dating app soon, called Single Riders.
It's the beta version is set to launch later this year.
Disney super fan in Orlando's behind it. He goes by
Joe the beard bearded nerd on social media. He says
(39:58):
that he came up with the idea two years years
ago after he got stood up on a date and
went to a bar at Disney World to get drunk.
He's been trying to loop in a programmer ever since.
Finally found one and they're looking for people to beate
attest it, with a full version landing sometime next year.
He sees it as a way and there's a lot
of people who, you know, that's their thing, even as
(40:19):
they grow older. Disney is their deal. And he sees
it as a way for Disney adults, you know, because
like if you got dumped, you know, because you're that
nerdy of a Disney fan. It gives other nerdy Disney
adults a chance to connect and see if there's a spark.
But it doesn't have to be a romance thing. He
(40:41):
hopes people use it to just make friends as well.
He's been acting people for features they'd want. One suggested
a way to see if other single riders are at
the park, so you could meet up and go on
spur of the moment dates. He says it's meant for
a theme park enthusiast in general, but Disney adults are
the target.

well you got something to look forward to and download

Florid is just hours away from carrying out the death
sentence of a convicted killer, Michael Benord Bell. Bell is
set to be executed for the murders of Jimmy West
and Tamika Smith, which took place in Jacksonville in December ninth,
nineteen ninety three. According to court records, in June of
ninety three, Theodore Wright killed Michael Bell's brother in self
defense out of revenge. Bell acted six months later when
(06:38):
he spotted what he believed was Wright's Plymouth fury parked.
Bell acted six months later when he spotted what he
believed was Wright's Plymouth fury parked outside at Jacksonville night spot.
Reports indicate that Belle killed the couple mistakenly believing they
were connected to Wright. Although we recognized West as Wright's
brother before opening fire, he did, I don't realize he
(07:00):
had killed the wrong person. Multiple attempts by Bell's attorneys
to haut today's execution have been very unsuccessful. Just last week,
the Florida Supreme Court dismissed arguments claiming that witnesses who
helped convict Bell wanted to change their testimonies. The Florida
Supreme Court rejected those claims. The only remaining options for
Bell to stay alive are an appeal to the United
(07:22):
States Supreme Court and a clemency request to the governor.
Bell is the eighth man set to be executed just
after six pm today at the Florida State Prison near Stark.
John Coke Stark.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Thank you, John, So I guess we'll find out more
about that later on this afternoon. Let's run on down
King's Highway. Check in old Jim Harrington down at your
CBD store fund of gord to Port, Charlotte. Jim, How
you doing what?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Ken? Good morning, my friend? How you doing today?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Not too bad, not too shabby. Looks like we're going
to be getting some more rain.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Again and they and tomorrow. Yes, but you know what,
let's bring it. We need it. It breaks things up,
breaks the eat up. So no complaints.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, So how's the store doing? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I'm so glad to talk to you this morning because
I had a guy come in yesterday right before I
close on Monday, and there's about two forty five he
came in. The reason I liked this story. He spent
twenty years in the Army at a pretty high level
and he's sixty six now, still working. Moved down to
the southwest Florida two years ago, still working. He has
(08:29):
his own business and doing pretty hard work. And he
called me on the phone and said he had tingling
numbness in his feet and I said, well, that's perphil neulopathy.
And I said I can absolutely help you with that.
I see it three or four times a day, sometimes more.
He came in. We did one foot like always, We
took the topical paint cream. He says, what's going on?
(08:49):
He has nerve damaging the feet that protected coading called
the milan sheet that protects the nerves in your feet
has been eroded by something. It could be diabetes, could
be chemo, could be ready. But anyway, we put that
cream on one foot. He sat in a chair and
he's kind of laughing at him, and he's thinking, you know,
this is not going to work. And I'm explaining to
him how it works, and he said, you know, he said,
(09:10):
I don't care about all the medical terms. All I
care about when I stand up, is my foot going
to feel better. And I said, we'll just relax. And
when long story short, he stood up. He goes, I
don't believe this. It's unbelievable. He goes, but Jim, something
else happened. He said, I'm terrible. I write this in
my hands and I forgot to tell you about that.
But my feet are the main issue because I'm on
my feet working all day. When I loved it on
(09:31):
my feet, my hand doesn't hurt anymore, he said. The
residual effect that got on my hands, he said, my
hands feels great. He goes, I want some of that,
and then he told me have some issues that his
wife was having as well, because she's still working and
she travels a lot, so we got her some products too.
But I was so happy to help a twenty year
veteran sort in our country and really easily in just
(09:54):
a matter of minutes, no side effects, no drug interactions
because he was on some medications. And I said, you
don't have a care in the world to study in
your blood street and he was thrilled. He was Actually,
we're actually going to partner up him and I and
do some other small business things together because he was
a great guy, interesting guy. It was really nice end
the day with him coming in and just the pleasure
(10:14):
to help a veteran like that. Well, Teddy heard your
show and that's what made him call. So thank you.
My friend has always been You've been helping me out
for a good law almost seven years now.

snow sweeter hell. I stepped ahead of my truck Friday
and it was storming. I mean it was storming and storming,
but I hadn't started raining. I was kind of in
(12:13):
the middle, Port Charlotte. I stepped onto their driveway. Can
lightning hit. I thought it's over. It's been a good life,
but it's I mean, it hits. My whole body lit out.
I mean, it was right next to me, Like lord,
I gotta figure something out with this. It scared the
hell out of me. I mean I was I'm not
scared of thunderstorms at all. They're kind of exciting. This
(12:34):
scared the hell out of me. I can jump back
to the truck of I'm gonna ride this thing out
before I dropped this. Yeah, because that was too intense.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I don't care who you are. I'm not scared of
him either. Until the lightning hits forty feet away from you.
When the thunder and the lightning at the same time,
that's when you know you're too damn close. And yeah,
it'll it'll make you peel a little.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Well, I don't put all that, did.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You know what I mean? Att scare you to look.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Around from now when I do deliveries. If you see
me sitting in your driveway for a few minutes, I'm
coming moving through the weather. Because until that point I
was carefree. I'm not carefree anymore. I'm scared of that. Well.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And also, man, you've been seeing these uh water spouts
and stuff uh several times over the last couple of
weeks out over the Gulf, so you got to be
careful out there on the beach as well. You saw
those people up in uh what is it, Santa Belle

strike right there on the beach, So you got to
be careful out there.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Oh.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
He was a given a speech and he went off
and said the Democratic Party, well, this is obvious went
way too far and it's focus on DEI prioritizing ideology
over any sort of actual practical solution to the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
But it makes me feel good, he said.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and
they're idiots.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
I always say, they have big hearts and little brains.
They do not understand how the real world works. Almost
every single policy rolled out failed. And again, you know
the funny thing is is that they don't learn.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They don't learn.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
I've got around and I've seen some things. People thinking fast,
the speed of self, faster than a speeding bullet. People
living like Superman all day and all night. And I
won't say if it's wrong, I won't say if it's right,
I'll create it fast myself. But I know how some
(16:16):
advice to pass along right here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
In the woods of this song.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
If your bonde put it, you can keep your head down.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine f m
w c CL just about nine thirty here, little bb
king better not look down. That's true these days. Got
to keep your head on a swivel two six, fifteen
eighty Toll free eight aight eight four four one fifteen
eighty phone lines here at Charlote County Speaks are open
(17:07):
and heading over to Sundance. So what do we got here?
We got fifty days for vlad to finish up his
Ukraine operations and get to a peace deal, big Q
and a session yesterday with the President. But as expected,
(17:27):
nobody in the media pool asked the key question. I
don't I wonder if any of you were thinking about
the fact if Ukraine's not a NATO member and they aren't,
and Russia's not a NATO member and they aren't, then
why the hell is NATO even involved here? Nobody asked
(17:47):
the question. Now, there's good news and bad news within
the outline strategy, more good than bad, despite the spin
room narrative engineering being immediately spread by the US media. First,
President Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin fifty days
to finish his strategic military operation in Ukraine before a
(18:08):
one hundred percent tariff rate is executed against the Russian economy.
With direct US trade with Russia already not happening, the
tariff would likely be applied toward any country purchasing any
goods or resources from Russia, specifically India, China, and Iran.
And Second, despite the ambiguously gay Lindsey Graham and the
(18:32):
EU leaders discussing the confiscation of Russian assets held in
the EU USA bonds, neither President Trump nor NATO General
Secretary Mark Root mentioned it, and again the media never
asked that question either, and thankfully, President Trump seems to
realize if such a confiscation took place, the financial credibility
of the entire Western finance system would be compromised. No
(18:56):
nation would want to put their national wealth at risk
by buying US and EA treasury bonds. And Third, the
part to the mainstream media seems to want to focus on.
In the interim of the fifty days, NATO will be
both purchasing and moving offensive and defensive weapons systems to Ukraine.
On the defensive weapons side, Germany's likely going to send
(19:18):
Patriot missile batteries and NATO's going to replace them with
new US purchases. In addition, all NATO states are going
to provide increased offensive weapons and purchases will be made
from US stockpiles, and those new offensive weapons will likely
be held back until the end of the fifty days
giving Putin something to think about to bring him to
(19:40):
the table. So Putin's got fitted days in the interim,
NATO is approved by Trump to ship offensive and defensive
weapons into Ukraine, and the Senate sanctions package will continue
to be assembled, perhaps approved, but not deployed until after
the one hundred percent tariffs are executed if Russia is
(20:01):
not compliant on the table. So the carrot for Vlad
is the fifty days to get finished. The stick is
all Hell's going to break loose on Russia, including new
offensive weapons if Putin doesn't end the conflict prior to
the fifty day deadline. And surprisingly I'm not you know me,
(20:25):
I'm not a fan of Senator John Thun, the Senate
Majority leader, but you got to give credit where credit
is due, and Senator Thun did a good job here
by letting Trump work on the Russia Ukraine problem and
await his request for more legislative tools. That I mean
(20:46):
that deserves a round of applause for Soon just saying
they're letting Trump be Trump and he's trying to stop
this US NATO prox he war by cutting the Gordian
knot in Ukraine. So I'm glad that Thune didn't listen
(21:06):
to Lindsey and Blumenthal stolen valor Bloomenthal on this whole deal.
So we'll see how the next fifty days plays out.
You might consider prayer because war takes everything everything, As JB.
(21:37):
Shre points out and Peter Schweitzer too noted in a
short report for the Hoover Institution long time back twenty
five years ago, the United States in two thousand was
spending less on defense as a percentage of GNP Gross
National product than any time since the Great Depression. And
(22:00):
that all changed nine months later when the so called
peace dividend from the collapse of the Soviet Union and
the end of the Cold War was reinvested in a
global war on terrorism where apparently you and I are
the terrorists. Eight trillion dollars later, and what do Americans
have to show for their sacrifices in blood and treasure?
(22:22):
Taliban's still in control of Afghanistan, al Qaeda's in control
of Syria. An apologist for Islamic jihad is about to
become mayor of New York City. In Minneapolis too. Do
you see that freak show looking dude? Ooh, he doesn't
look just a bit psycho does he We'll get to
him later, and a pro homos contingent of lawmakers wielding
(22:45):
way too much power in Congress. In an article that
resembles an obituary for US foreign policy during the twenty
first century, writer Daniel McAdams dryly observes in the headline
global war on Terror is over terror one. That's quite
a gut punch for anybody who lived through nine to
eleven and its aftermath. Yet it's not inaccurate at all.
(23:09):
Quarter century after Islamo terrorists murdered three thousand Americans, politicians
are more concerned about islamaphobia in the US And once again,
I'm not islamophobic, I'm anti Islam. Big difference, kids. You
might want to get on board with it before they
get on all over you. Providing adequate quair for veterans
(23:32):
who confronted Islamic barbarity. That seems to be the hurt
feelings of those who risk nothing to defend the homeland
matter more than the damaged bodies and minds of those
who risked everything. Significance of nine to eleven has been
so watered down that Congresswoman Elon the terrorist Omar remembers.
(23:53):
It only is a day when quote, some people did
something for those victims. We lost their families, members of
the military who fought and died on the global battlefield,
and the families of those service members who never saw
their loved ones again. That's something was by far the
most consequential event in their lives. Now it's just an
(24:13):
opportunity for foreigners who become members of Congress to try
and guilt trip white people for their imaginary privilege. After
nine to eleven, everybody insisted that we left our guard
down and somehow brought the tragedy upon ourselves. If we
had only continued spending on defense at the same high
levels that we'd been spending since World War Two, then
(24:35):
we could have prevented the worst attack on American soil
since the Japanese Empire bomb Pearl Harbor in nineteen forty one.
That's a line of crap, but that was a supposed lesson.
Didn't matter that we're still spending more than every other
country in the world. As soon as we cut back
on Cold War military spending, we suffered another surprise attack.
(24:55):
We were vulnerable. Everyone agreed unless we rededicated tax dollers
towards huge military budgets. Everybody in the defense sector got
big buckets of money after that. Weapons manufacturers, R and
D firms, intel, think tanks, foreign policy consultancy made out
like fat bandits. FBI got new domestic surveillance powers, Department
(25:19):
of Homeland Security TSA came into existence, the two biggest
worthless departments in our government became a thing. The CIA
positioned itself once again as the unofficial quarterback at the
US government, and there still are over in Ukraine. Unelected bureaucrats,
in other words, became much more powerful than they were
(25:41):
before nine to eleven, and the defense industry started cash
in much bigger checks. And all the institutions that experienced
a diminishment of clout and prestige after the Cold War
found their clout and prestige supercharged in the post nine
to eleven world. And that's pretty sobering reminder that some
people all benefit from tragedy. So how'd the American people
(26:03):
make out? How'd we do not so well? Not so
well at all? In return for a foreign attack on
US soil, Americans lost any claims to their privacy. The
Patriot Act apparently already written and ready to go long before.
As soon as a sufficient emergency could justify as patch
(26:24):
its passage in Congress, it birth the modern national security
surveillance state. Americans lost control over their bank records, phone calls,
text messages, emails. It became common to hear politicians justify
this loss as personal privacy, as a trifling matter for
Americans with nothing to hide. On nine to eleven, foreign
(26:45):
terrorists murdered US citizens. After nine to eleven, the US
government murdered the Fourth Amendment. The Americans also saw the
accelerated migration of foreign nationals into their local communities. Bush,
what I tell you, we gotta we've gotta fight them
over there, or they're gonna come here. Meanwhile, he's shipping
them all here and their mosques. How'd that were? How's
(27:08):
that working out? In Texas? In Minneapolis, in Dearborn, both
George W and Barry Hussain seemed to agree that American
citizens were responsible not only for prosecuting a global war
on terrorism, but also for resettling the refugees from newly
occupied territories into the US. The end result has been
(27:29):
a confusing, disruptive injection of multi culty bs that Americans
known that defending their way of life would involve importing
millions of foreign nationals with a different way of life
and no ability or desire to assimilate. Would never have
(27:50):
supported post nine to eleven wars in parts of Asia, Africa,
in the Middle East. We never would have effectively. The
US government responded to the worst to tack since World
War II by going to war for twenty years, tearing
up parts of the Constitution and undermining americans shared culture.
Those politicians and bureaucrats in DC have seen their powers
(28:12):
expand this century believe the enormous costs in lives and
dollars are justified. Those industries that profit from endless war
have much to celebrate some of those politicians who get
donations from those industries. But for many Americans, the Butcher's
Bill from this century's military conflicts has not been pretty,
(28:32):
and right now the drumbeat of war is growing louder.
Us European interests see Ukraine as an expendable chess piece
in a larger NATO led war against Russia. Why who knows?
As the death toll in Europe rises, Western warhawks continue
to demand that every last Ukrainian man be press ganged
(28:53):
into service. No secret. I have very much contempt for
those who ens Ukrainians die in this war when they're
not permitted to vote for elected representatives or even to
dissent publicly from the government currently hanging on to power
through martial law. Remember the little green guy that Vicky
(29:14):
Neulan and Samantha Powers and McCain at all put there
through a coup in twenty fourteen. Again, this is our fault.
There's nothing democratic about Ukrainian dictatorship and the Foreign Council
on Foreign Affairs. Types who lick their chops over the
possibility of defeating Russia and dismantling its enormous territory into
(29:36):
more digestible parts, can't stand blackrock vultures that can't wait
to gobble up the region's natural resources while making trillions
of dollars from government subsidized rebuilding projects across the war
torn terrain. I dislike bloodthirsty loudmouths such as the ambiguously
gay Lindsey Graham, who speaks of war as if it's
(29:57):
a playground game, because his ass isn't going to be
strapped up and playing the game. Macavelian politicians, particularly in
the EU who see war in Ukraine as a convenient
distraction from the exorbitant energy costs of climate change communism
presently destroying Western economies. I dislike those who would risk
(30:19):
miscalculations between nuclear powers over former Soviet lands whose peoples
largely identify as Russian, and if you read Sundance, he's
been over there. They're ready for war. The Russian people,
they're good to go without power and phones in the
internet when that happens on occasion. Our side are betters
(30:44):
in government. They don't have a clue what they're in for.
Can't stand those who prefer that Russian and Ukrainian Kis
Christians kill each other rather than seek peace. Looking at you,
Lindsay and Blumenthal. So before we ratchet up the slaughter
in Europe and expand the Russia NATO proxy war in
(31:05):
Ukraine into something even more devastating than it already is,
consider how much we've already sacrificed in the last twenty
five years. The peace divid end following the Cold War
didn't even last a decade, and when the US committed
itself to a post nine to eleven global war on
terrorism for the next twenty years, we watched our Bill
of Rights and Cultures slip away. Whether one thinks the
(31:28):
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were worth the cost, they weren't,
those costs will look minuscule next to the Butcher's Bill
that's going to come due in a full out war
between Russia and US and NATO, because it's going to
be Russian US. We've already discussed the lack of military
capabilities that most of the EU nations have, most of
(31:48):
our NATO partners have, They've been relying on us for
the entire time. Those European and American parents who think
that their children will never be drafted into service should
remember that Ukrainian parents once believe the same thing. How
many videos have you seen online of eighteen twenty forty
(32:10):
year old Ukrainian men being shoved into a van and
forced to go fight. There's an abyss that we're about
to fall into and if we do, we're going to
lose ourselves and the madness is going to be bloody awful,
and we will be lucky to see it through. War
takes everything, It robs everyone, and I pray and you
(32:31):
better too, that we can avoid it.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
The worst thing that could happens to a show like
this is that it would ever become predictable.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I think we're going to have a real humdinger, hilarious,
witty and inspired, very great show.

Speaker 11 (32:56):
I never really wanted to get married. I definitely didn't
want to get married. I don't want to have a wedding.
I don't want to do vows. I just want to
do concerns. I have a few concerns. First one, how
attached are you to this burning man tradition? Do you
(33:17):
guys know what burning man is?
Speaker 6 (33:19):
It's like.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
It's a great place to go breastfeed your pet ferret,
and he really wants me to go. I mean, if
I wanted to be a part of a dysfunctional community
of white people in the desert, I'd move to Arizona.
There's no showers. I need two baths a day. I
know there's a drought happening. Maybe my two baths. I
(33:43):
mean people in Barstow don't get bagels. But you know what,
something I.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Have learned to deal with.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
That's all a lie.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Let stalk my head, but I can already seen the.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
Ride from my bed.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I'm not alone then, I.
Speaker 10 (34:43):
Amuse people seem to think of Superman, but I want
father Bah.

I'm living in a big eagle.

There phone lines open nine four one two zero six,
fifteen eighty and you know, say what you will about
(35:16):
the Democrats, and I do, but you got to give
it to them. Florida Democrats, big protests, they had up
tampaway and aerial photos of it from Joones Sow's one thing.
The leftists here in Florida understand not to block the
(35:39):
streets because they're probably going to get run over. So
they're actually protesting on the sidewalk, showing their signs, doing
what protesters do, but they're not out trying to block
the streets. Very appreciative of that. I'm sure it has
a lot to do with the fact that they know
they're probably going to get run over down here. But nonetheless,
it was good to see that they're actually protesting in
(36:03):
a peaceful fashion, so that that again you got to
give credit where credit is due two six fifteen eighty

This on the Truth social from President Donald J. Trump
just about forty five minutes ago, where he says I
have always suspected shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,
(36:27):
and now I learn that Fannie May's Financial Crimes Division
have concluded that Adam Schiff is engaged in a sustained
pattern of possible mortgage fraud. He has to put the
possible in there. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence
was in Maryland to get a cheaper mortgage and rip
off America when he must live in California because he
(36:48):
was a congressman from California. I always knew Adam Shiff
was a crook. Pardon me uh. The fraud began with
the refinance of his Maryland property on February sixth, two
thousand and nine, and continued through multiple transactions until the
Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on
(37:12):
October thirteenth, twenty twenty. Mortgage fraud is very serious and
crooked Adam Schiff. Now a senator needs to be brought
to justice.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
Here here.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Now isn't Letitia the power hungry hippo James also accused
of similar things on multiple occasions. I believe she is.
She should be brought to justice as well. Just say it,
throwing that out there for you, Just say, hey, you know,
I'm not a gambler by any stretch of the imagination.
(37:46):
Just getting out of beds gamble enough for me. But
the Palms Casino in Resort recently opened its first ever
who No social club. It must be like you all
pot y'all put into the kitty and whoever wins gets
(38:07):
the pot. It must be how it is. But Palms
Casino just opened its first ever UNO social club in Vegas.
It sounds like it's a temporary thing for select groups
of UNO enthusiasts. Do you like playing the I like
playing the Uno? Always a fun time. Tons of UNO gaming,
food and drinks, as well as game inspired decor, bowling,
(38:30):
pool and other awesomeness out there. According to Mattel, which
owns UNO, more of these temporary suites are expected to
open up across the US later this year. Sounds like
It's mostly a stunt made for social media hypes, so
they're not bringing full on Uno gaming tables to actual
casino floors yet. But if you get a secret joy
(38:51):
out of making chains of skips or versus Wild's draw fours,
could be something to keep on your radar. I think
it'd be fun. That might actually get me to go
to Vegas. Or if there's several lacrosse, you know, maybe
they get one out at Tampa or over at the Seminole.
You know, I would do that. That to me, that's
not that that'd be a kick in the shorts right
(39:13):
there by. Gosh, don't you think? Or don't you two
six fifteen eighty toll free eight eight eight four four
one fifteen eighty. Uh, I don't know. If I I this,
I don't really care about they'll tell you about it.
Disney is uh. I guess it's big news for that
(39:37):
cousin who still wears a Mickey Mouse Watch. Disney adults
are getting their own dating app soon, called Single Riders.
It's the beta version is set to launch later this year.
Disney super fan in Orlando's behind it. He goes by
Joe the beard bearded nerd on social media. He says
(39:58):
that he came up with the idea two years years
ago after he got stood up on a date and
went to a bar at Disney World to get drunk.
He's been trying to loop in a programmer ever since.
Finally found one and they're looking for people to beate
attest it, with a full version landing sometime next year.
He sees it as a way and there's a lot
of people who, you know, that's their thing, even as
(40:19):
they grow older. Disney is their deal. And he sees
it as a way for Disney adults, you know, because
like if you got dumped, you know, because you're that
nerdy of a Disney fan. It gives other nerdy Disney
adults a chance to connect and see if there's a spark.
But it doesn't have to be a romance thing. He
(40:41):
hopes people use it to just make friends as well.
He's been acting people for features they'd want. One suggested
a way to see if other single riders are at
the park, so you could meet up and go on
spur of the moment dates. He says it's meant for
a theme park enthusiast in general, but Disney adults are
the target.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
Audience.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
So if any of you are those types of people,
well you got something to look forward to and download
at the app store coming soon. Hey, you know, whatever,
to each his own. Let's go see what the world
(41:25):
is bringing us this hour. We got a fake news
radio update on the way. I'm going to get some
more coffee and then we'll be back on news Radio
