only care so much. We also have Halloween just around
(08:32):
the corner. People are big into the Halloween. People love
the Halloween. And it seems, I don't know, does it
seem to you like there's a lot of adult Halloween
parties going on. And there's a survey taken and fifty
(09:02):
four percent of adults think that adults should get their
own night to celebrate Halloween. An adulta ween adulta ween.
There Now it's called Halloween if you can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
What is this.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Just people who refuse to grow up and demand their
own day. This is for the kids, It's not for you.
The term adulta ween back in the news. The folks
over at Ferrero Candies got it trending last year. It
was dumb last year, and it's still dumb today. Newpole.
(09:44):
Over half adults think the grown ups should get their
own night to celebrate Halloween without having those pesky damn kids.
Most of us agree, still a majority, sixty two percent
think Halloween is just kids. Leave it alone. Grow up,
I mean, have another you know, have your party Saturday
(10:07):
night or take the kids. I mean, hell, kids are
going out so early now for Halloween anymore, because the
times that we're living in, Why can't you still have
your adulta ween party on Halloween later in the evening,
Feed those kids a bunch of candy when they crash
(10:28):
from the sugar high, stick them to bed, and have
your little adult a wine party. Huh. Problem solved. You're welcome.
Like almost everybody I know has done it over the years,
I don't see why you need your own day for Halloween.
(10:50):
And yes, it is another tradition that parents steal candy
from their kids. You got to make make sure that
you know it's safe. You gotta make sure there's no
you know, razor blades or needles or you know, yeah,
cyanide or anything like that. See, you got to check
out the kid's candy. It's it's those are the rules.
(11:14):
You live under my roof. I'm getting a percentage of
your That's how taxes work.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Kids.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You get to learn young how taxes work. We parents
take your candy, and when you grow up, government takes
your money. Just the way it is. The candy that
most parents like to steal. Seventy six percent said full
sized candy bar the top choice. Who gives out full
sized candy bars anymore? Those are expensive these days. Seventy
(11:45):
two percent to prefer the familiar flavors over the new types.
Sixty seven percent of adults still prefer nostalgic favorites from
their own childhood. Men take Halloween a little more seriously
when it comes to the candy. Fifty two percent splurge
on premium candy to make sure that they're a good
(12:05):
candy house. You want to be a good candy house.
You want to be the house that everyone goes to. Oh,
he's got good candy. He's got the good stuff. Compared
to forty one percent of women twenty one percent of men.
Fifteen percent of women will also pass judgment on their
neighbors if the candy they hand out sucks. Sixty percent
(12:26):
overwhelming majority say that they celebrate Halloween for nostalgic reasons. Parents,
it jumps up to sixty eight percent taking your kids Halloweening.
We love Halloween. I mean, you know, hey, who doesn't
love Halloween. It's fun, it's spooky, scary, all Solstice whatever.
(12:46):
Have fun with that. But adulta wine you're you're not
going to get. You're just not going to get the
adult a win. Also, are you scared of the dark.
Some childhood fears are silly to look back on now,
(13:09):
you know, monsters hiding under your bed, But others continue
into adulthood. Clowns. We were talking with Mark last week
about people still having a great fear of clowns. A
lot of people are, well, if you live in a
state that has basements, I've been in some freaky basements,
kind of wonder what else is going on down here?
(13:31):
And scared of vegetables. New survey twenty nine percent of
American adults admit that they're still afraid of the dark.
Twenty four percent say they sleep with a night light,
ten percent prefer to sleep with the lights on, and
men are more likely to admit this than women. On
the flip side, twenty eight percent of people say they
(13:52):
love watching horror movies, and some people enjoy being scared,
so there could be some overlap between the people who
like horror movies and people who are also afraid of
the dark. Men are more likely to love horror movies
than women.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't know why. I've just never really been into them. Well,
because I don't know. They seem to always follow the
same theme.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Men are more likely to admit to having nightmares after
watching a scary movie. Twenty eight percent of people say
they're more likely to wake up in the middle of
the night after watching a horror movie, twenty two percent
say they're more likely to have worse sleep, and twelve
percent say they're more likely to sleep for fewer hours. Huh,
(14:40):
I sleep like a baby because I'm a good boy.
I don't watch horror movies all right.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Now, Dad, you mean to head acrossover guy? Dad? Up?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Norse father son fishing.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Dad, don't get the kids all riled up before bed dead.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Not to be fair, to be fair, to be fair.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Lots of people who met sounds when the stands up
and sits down, not just dad's.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks News Radio
fifteen eighty WCCF.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Remember we were kids and they used to say, Hey,
what do you want to be when you grow up?
Or I want to be a doctor, I want to
be a lawyer, police officer, firefighter, nurse. Maybe say hey,
I want to be a hospital administrator.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We'll guess what.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
From twenty eleven to twenty thirty three, more money, more
money has been spent on healthcare administration than direct patient care.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, better off, better off? No, skip men's school, No,
don't go to nursing school. Become a hospital bureaucrat.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Eighty seven point two percent increase in spending on administration
for hospitals. That's that's what Obamacare gave you. Watch Dog
on Wall Street dot com suckers.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Up money, talks, but it can't touch my three lock box.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
M n days all to find the key.

News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine twenty eight on a humpday Wednesday, A little bit
of the red Rocker right there. He just turned what
seventy eight seventy something, Sammy Hagar, happy birthday. What do
(18:11):
we got we've got to Yeah, November eleventh coming up.
We're gonna have parades, celebrations, ceremonies, all that stuff. Commissioner
Deutsch will be here in a few minutes to discuss that.
In the meantime, we're still the government government in case
(18:33):
you wouldn't know it if you don't unless you watch
the news and all the gnashing of teeth. But the
government shut down. I know I don't care either, but
some people do. And we're so divided right now that
we know why this Republicans, GOP, conservatives, right leaning independence
(18:57):
know why this shutdown is happening. The left batcrap crazy
or blaming us for the shutdown when they refused to
negotiate on illegal aliens getting free healthcare, don't get it.
(19:21):
In some ways, I don't mind the shutdown because it
allows President Trump to get rid of a lot of people.
But Representative Stube was speaking on television the other day
and here's what he had to say about it.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Look, I've called for Thune to redo the rules. You know,
they call it the nuclear option over there. Why in
the world the American people gave us the House, the
Senate in the White House. The American people don't understand
why it takes sixty votes to fund the government, to
pass bills to get anything done. We did the big
beautiful bill by reconciliation because obviously the Democrats aren't going
to vote for that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They just extra a nuclear.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Option to pass Trump's judges and other confirmations, because of
course Democrats are holding that up as well. Why in
the world are we going to Chuck Schumer to get
sixty votes to fund the government. I don't understand it,
but that's the situation we're in. And then Democrats lie
to the American people and say it's the Republican shutdown,
when we all know it's that the Republican House passed
(20:23):
a clean funding bill to the Senate and we need
seven Democrats to vote along with the Republicans to fund
the government, and they're holding that up. There's been three
Democrats that have voted with Republicans, but not the seven
that you need to get the sixty to get it
to the president's death. So they lie to the American
people and say it's a Republican shutdown. I just don't
understand why we have to go to Chuck Schumer for
anything that's not what the American people want us to do.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's true, that's true. Thank you, Representative Stuby. This really
is yeah John Thune's hands, he could end the sixty
vote loo get back to what it should be, just
a majority, and get it passed and move on open
(21:07):
the government back up. I don't think this doesn't help
the Democrats at all. We're not going to cave. We're
already spending between Ukraine and illegal aliens. The US taxpayer
is funding enough bs. So I would hope that the
(21:30):
Republicans stand strong and do not negotiate with terrorists. And
that's what the Democrat Party has become a bunch of
brainwashed psychotic terrorists. Two six fifteen Where the hell is he?
Not here?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He blew it? Two l six fifteen eighty, toll free
eight eight four four one fifteen eighty and uh once
again for Secretary of War Pete egsas given the propagandists
of the media some just desserts here over to Breitbart.
(22:10):
Journalists from across the political spectrum faced a five pm
Tuesday deadline to sign the Department of Wars new Pentagon
Access Agreement or surrender their credentials, and major outlets, including
The New York Slimes, The Washington Putts, the Communist News Network,
and The Atlantic Reuters and Newsmas Newsmacks. See I told
(22:34):
you they can't be trusted. They announced they would not
comply with the new rules. Fine, gibbye, No credentials for you,
no lanyard with the little plastic badge. No Department of
Wars updated media access policy is prompted a widespread refusal
(22:56):
from national and international news organizations say that the new
guidelines impose unacceptable restrictions on press freedom. When has the
press just been allowed to walk around sensitive areas at
the Pentagon, apparently starting with Obama. No, it's a privilege,
(23:17):
not a right, and you don't get to dictate crap,
Pete Hegseth does. The rules were finalized last month and
took effect this week, requiring journalists to sign an acknowledgment
outlining restrictions on gathering and publishing information in order to
retain Pentagon press credentials. Secretary Haigset defended the new procedures
(23:43):
on September nineteenth, saying, the press does not run the Pentagon,
the people do. The press is no longer allowed to
roam the halls of a secure facility where a badge
and follow the rules or go home is post linked
to The Daily Wire's exclusive story, which first reported the
implementation of the updated guidelines of memo obtained by The
(24:04):
Daily Wire explained that reporters holding a Pentagon facility's alternate
credential must sign an in brief form acknowledging information security
rules and escort requirements. It's the Pentagon, We're not. This
isn't the halls of Congress. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency
will issue new p facts marked Press in red with
(24:27):
distribution prioritized to resident media through September thirtieth into visiting media.
On October first. Memo directed personnel to ensure unescorted journalists
to remain only in designated zones and stated that violations
could lead to credential revocation. Now this has been out
there for a while and despite these assurances that we're
(24:51):
not stomping on anybody's First Amendment in this regard, we're
just not allowing you in certain areas and we're not
allowing you to select. Lisit wrongdoing by members of the Pentagon.
Washington Post, Atlantic, New York Times the only one that
signed it. Nobody signed it, CNN, Reuter's, NPR, the Guardian,
(25:12):
all the left leaning rags did not sign the agreement. Fine,
they don't get press credentials at the Pentagon. The only
news agency that signed it was one American news And
I've talked to online and read online several people who
(25:35):
have commented on this who do a lot of writing,
post a lot of stories, a lot of articles about
the Pentagon, and they don't go into the Pentagon. They
don't have press credentials from the Pentagon, and it hasn't
prevented them from doing their jobs. So it kind of
makes you wonder what sort of shenanigans were a foot
prior to these new press credential criteria at the Pentagon.
(26:00):
So anyway, I'm for it. Thanks a great idea, like
to welcome to the studio Commissioner Steven R. Deutsch going
on the guy.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
And Sam Taylor, the director of the Shallotte County Veterans
Day Parade, a man like no other men. Absolutely amazing
how he donates his time in support of our veterans
in the community. It's just amazing. He's done the parade
since we had Welcome Back Vietnam, and he's he's got
(26:31):
a promise to do it for another twenty five years
because he does such a great.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Job for us. So tell us all about what's coming up.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Well, Sam, why don't you talk. We got about sixty
different groups. We got to have you in that parade.
Someday we can put your people showing up. We're in
the Navy, come on, you could do that.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, and we can still mark.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Why don't you do one of these? Please?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh Jesus Praise.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
The Lord, explain tell us well, as the Commissioner said,
we're having our biennial Veterans Day Parade. It all fell
out of the twenty twenty Welcome Home Vietnam situation that
we held. It was such a positive response that we
(27:15):
kept on doing it now and the county has taken
an initiative to continue doing the parade. We have, as
the Commissioner said about sixty organizations that will be participating
in the parade. I'm very excited because we have some
new groups that have now become involved. One example would
be the Buena Vista Property Owners Association. They're actually going
(27:39):
to put a float and a vehicle into the parade.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Tell them about the kids on the float. That's the
one I'd like.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
The reference on the kids on the float. Normally we
always have the high school bands and all, but for
the first time I had the Peace River Elementary School
reached out to me and their cooral group will be
on a float singing along in the parade.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So nice.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
Those type of things are making it very exciting. Yeah,
for the difference.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
One of the things about parades, you know, we think
the parades are for the veterans. It's in honor of
the veterans, and that's important. And I'm of an age
that I grew up with parades. In fact, that's that's
when I met General President elect Eisenhower and my mom
said he shook my hand and I didn't wash it
for weeks, so that I was ten years old. But anyway,
(28:27):
I'll admit that. But you don't what the parades are
for the young people. In the community.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think we all.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Participated, but I think it's important, Thank you. It's important
for the kids to see the parade, to see our veterans,
to appreciate, to have some sense, to have some sense that,
you know, freedom isn't free. And I was going to
ask you a question because I had an argument with
a friend of mine at the y the other day.
They were talking about the flag burning, and I said,
(28:55):
what would you do if you saw them burning a flag?
Because I don't know any veteran that ever raised their
right hand. Could you stand by and watch the flag burn?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I know I couldn't be stomping a mud hole and I'd.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Be getting my butt cut probably, but you know, thinking
I'm seventeen or eighteen, but there's no way I would.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Put up with that. Sam, Well, here here's the thing.
If people are getting thrown in jail for burning the
gay flag, what are we talking about here? That really?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Well?
Speaker 13 (29:24):
Yeah, well, just to get back to the prey, we
all respect each.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Other, that's the bottom line. There's some mutual respect. Yes,
And I don't want to get political, but.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I mean you just did.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Usually when I'm on your show, it's political. Yeah, but
What's the scary thing is we think too much alike?
Speaker 13 (29:44):
As I said, to get back to the prey again,
as the Commission says, it's not just about the adults
and the veterans. It's getting the kids involved.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And we really do.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
And the Boy Scouts and the kids, that's great.
Speaker 13 (29:56):
I've got five RTC units that are going to be
more nice. I've got seven Boy Scouts Girl Scouts units
that are going to be marshing mark.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
What's the parade route?
Speaker 13 (30:07):
That's what it's just going to lead up. The parade
rout is going to start out at the Portrait at
Beach Complex, go up Harbor Boulevard to Edgewater, make a
left turn onto into the westbound lane on Edgewater and
take that to the Memorial entrance of gains Park.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
By the way, can I put a commercial in about
the Gaines Park because I haven't been here in a while.
Phase one is finished, and if you haven't had chance,
drive by and take a look at it. We're pre assembling.
All the groundwork has done. We're pre assembling part of
the tower right now, and we have to do a
major fundraising thing. Prices of doubleness. It's insane, but take
(30:47):
a look at it and you can. Can you actually
get a feeling for the crater the way they designed it,
it's amazing. So that's just an aside. But that's where
the parade's going to end up.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Good.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Yeah, like I said, we'll end up there. Once the
start time for the parade will be at nine o'clock.
Everybody should be where that. At eight thirty, the police
are going to close of all access to Edgewater and
to Harbor Boulevard from Edgewater to the Beach Complex. So
(31:18):
if you need to get somebody, either get out by
eight thirty or enjoy the parade. But it's only an
hour about We're expecting the prey take about an hour
and fifteen hour and a half. Once the last unit
gets up to the Gains Park, the roads will be
reopened again, which should be about ten forty five at
the latest.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's not bad.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
And the neat thing this year, you know, we go through,
we go through the beach area, and I belong to
the association, but I mentioned it to the president and
the neighborhood and this is cool. The neighborhood is putting
a float in the parade, kind of about getting community involved.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Exactly very nice and speakers.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Uh no, we don't.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
We don't have a program on that day. In the past,
we had some Veteran Veterans Day programs, but the reality
is uh uh, the DAV I belonged to the dav
and the Vietnam vets and the American leaders, they all
have their own program. You know, I talk about Veterans
Day almost in a solemn way because I can remember
(32:25):
being in school. You'll love this. I've said this to
you before, probably a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
We did the prain.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
But on Veterans Day in public school in New York City,
we stood, We said a prayer in public school, believe
that or not. We we did the Pledge of Allegiance,
and we sang My Country tis a v because in
the third grade, you know, he didn't sing the sauce
(32:51):
baglebat it because it's a difficult song to say. But
you know what, it would sort of be nice to
come back to that a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yea.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
And either way, you never let the flag touch the ground.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No, did not happen. Did not happen at all.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So we're excited about the parade, what it does for
the community, how it's been pulling different parts of the
community together. And we actually we have some businesses involved
this year, don't we say I'm for the first.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Oh yes, we've got a whole bunch. I'd rather not
go into names because if I leave somebody out and
somebody's going to get offended. But no, a lot of
the local businesses are involved. Some of the sub organizations
to some of the business are also.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
I'll mention a bigot. I'm not gonna we have a
barbecue vehicle that's going to be in there that's been
reaching out in our community. In fact, I'm going to
be there with some people from the Veterans Nursing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You're always inn the free food.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Yeah, right, well, I'm going there. I probably won't eat
because today's a crazy day, but we've got about fifteen
of the residents of the Veterans Home that are going.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
Since the commissioner likes food, let me kind of build
off that mission barbecue. Yeah, we're also going to have
Twisted Fork will have an entry. Charlie Foxtrot Brewing will
be involved. Along those lines. One of the other areas
that I'd like to also mention be what they do
(34:25):
will be doing a lot for those who want to
again on a Veterans reads across America will be participating.
And for those who want to help out around December thirteenth,
they'll be the major Christmas rereaths being placed out at
the National Cemetery and at the Vietnam Wars.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
And they'd probably be looking for some help lay in
those wreaths.
Speaker 13 (34:49):
Definitely.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
But we've got some great organizations. And by the way,
the three food related organizations he mentioned always always, they're
always there for our first responders and our veterans. I've
been to Mission Barbecue probably a dozen times in the
last two months and they're you know, we were there
with the Purple Heart Group. They're going to be there
(35:11):
again this coming Saturday. They've got we've had a bunch
of people from the nurse from the nursing home. It's
they're doing an amazing job. And they're bringing that huge,
big vehicle. Have you seen what do you call that thing? Sam,
that big truck thing that they have.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What is that mission?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (35:28):
They call it the bam bam Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (35:32):
When I got the first notice that yes, we've got
have the bammam vehicle there. So I didn't know what
a bam BAM was So I went ahead and I
googled it and I'm reading the Bam bam is a
Russian rail car. So I go back to the to
mission barbecue and I said, okay, you're saying the Bam
(35:53):
bam military vehicle, but when I go and google it,
I'm not getting a military vehicle. So she says, i'll
send you picture. And it's an old military transport and
they've converted like a smoker and all the other it's neat.
Yeah they did that Bobby out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
But anyway, we want to encourage people to come out.
And actually there's two really good places to watch and
see the parade. Obviously you could do Harbor Boulevard from
the Beach Complex up to Edgewater, but on one side
of Edgewater, people actually get bring their chance and they
sit in the island and they're like, oh yeah, they're
like five six feet away from the parade as it
(36:31):
goes by, and everybody always recognizes everybody, and they're always
yelling your name out and you're saying hello, and it's
just great to be in the parade and to see
so many veterans in the parade. I know, our Purple
Heart group is going to be involved in the parade.
A number of the American Legion posts are going to
be involved.
Speaker 13 (36:49):
We also going to have several women's veterans organizations, which
will also be a first this year.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Excellent. We got to take a quick break. We'll be
back with more on news radio fifteen eighty.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
To be fair to.
Speaker 9 (37:11):
Toby Fairs, that seems like you're doing all this works
to distract yourself from feelings you don't want to be
dealing with it.
Speaker 10 (37:16):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks, News Radio
fifteen eighty WCCs.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
But even Halloween, because Mexicans, we don't wear costumes. We
usually wear sweats and make them into costumes. Halloween, I
asked my mom. She said, what do you want to be?
I said, I want to be Batman, but in like
the you know, the little kid voice.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I want to be Batman.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
So she made my own costume with the sweats and
the little fake Batman symbol dirty dwaya that the dogs
leapt on as the cake. And you go to school
for that little parade you do. You're walking around on Batman.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
My mom made it Tom.
Speaker 8 (38:04):
But they call you a fat man when you're there,
so came home. Next year's gonna be different. She made
me a skeleton. Look, it's X ray Man.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine fifty four here in a humpday Wednesday at Charlotte
County speaks and we're talking about the Veterans Parade. So, uh, Steven,
are yes, sir? What else do we got going on here?
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Well, now we well it's Samurai.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
We can we can show we've got a we got
a full house. I mean I was looking at the
list of part participants in the parade over fifty.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah, and again let's remind everyone the parade will kick
off about nine am at the end of at the
western end of Harbor Boulevard down near the Beach Complex,
and a really good place to see it is about
halfway up that street between there and Edgewater, or between
Edgewater heading north up towards the Gaines Park. A lot
(39:22):
of people bring their chairs. They sit right in thee
and by the way, you don't need it's not sam
We've got someone handling weather. We figured it's going to
be about seventy four degrees in sunny at the time
of the parade, no snow, no rain.
Speaker 13 (39:37):
We got General Patton's chaplain to help us. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Hey I'm chaplin. But no, we're excited about it. This
is for the whole community, and you know everyone is
involved in the Sheriff's office and the Fight Department, and
you know, we want to thank all the volunteers to
assist and help us. And I sort of tease the
Salvation Army because I remember when I was an active
(40:02):
du who we'd be transferring, who would end up giving
your coffee when you stop somewhere. It was always a
Salvation Army that was out there serving coffee and donuts,
at least when I was there. So I told him
at the end of the parade, for because they're going
to be in the fly says, you guys have to
have coffee. So they said, all right, we'll have coffee
at the end of the trade. And Salvation Army is
one of my favorite charities. So I think they do
(40:23):
a great job. But they're going to be there and
maybe another little surprise that we're not supposed to talk about.
So don't mention the twisted for it no matter what
you say.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Okay, And who's a Grand Marshal.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Oh this year, that's right, we got Bud.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Tell him about Bud and.
Speaker 13 (40:37):
The Grand Marshal this year is Brigadier General Anthony bud Bell.
He's a retired Air Force general. I've been very active
within the logistics commands of the Air Force, and he's
been very active in the Charlotte County. He sits as
a member of the Vietnam Wall of Southwest Florid. He's
(41:00):
on the executive board there. He's an active participating in
helping putting the parade together and whenever we need something
dealing with the veterans, he's one of the first to
volunteer and step forward.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Yeah, he's a member of the Charlotte County Veterans Council.
And I think I first met but with Dick Carr
and Bill Akins. If you want to remember an old name,
you'll be hearing his name soon before you know it again.
But when we first started working on the Vietnam Wall,
I can remember, if it's an aside, the meeting where
they weren't sure where they were going to put it,
(41:31):
and then we had a vote on it and it
ended up and put the Gorda and I refused to
vote on it, but it ended up and put the gorda,
which was great. You know what, that's a great look,
that's a great location, and it works out great, and
it's a very solemn place. We were there, you know,
from Memorial Day programs and other veterans' activities, and I
don't think almost any time I'm there, there's always someone
(41:53):
kneeling and praying sort of like that are at the
Gaines parkt the memorials. There many times I've seen people
at the memorials going.
Speaker 13 (41:59):
About if we're going to talk about the Vietnam War,
I'd like to put a plug in right now, punt
to goorder. City Council has approved the putting a and.
Speaker 6 (42:10):
No keep going. I was doing background saying tank are.
Speaker 13 (42:14):
Being approved the placement of a Huey helicopter at the wall.
We're in doing the research now to obtain one. We
will tell you we do need funds to help that.
It is not an inexpensive proposition. So if anybody is
interested in helping, make a donation to cover approximately sixty
(42:35):
thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
That's without a moter, well, I would hope it.
Speaker 13 (42:42):
Please if any donations send it to the Vietnam Wall
of Southwest Florida. There is a website and all for
a mailing address. I don't have it with me.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, just google the Vietnam Wall of Southwest Florida.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
I'm sure we've all been an helicopter in the military,
and I know I was. But the funny thing is
when I I took a tour with the sheriff because
I wanted to see where we were doing mosquito spraying
when I first got on the commission, and it was
sort of fun to be sitting into you. We were
bullet holes in it because that's what we were using
at the Sheriff's office. It was an old Vietnam helicopter.
Speaker 13 (43:15):
It just we just kept refurbishing and getting and getting
back to the parade itself. Again, if anybody's interested regarding
the parade, my email address is Parade for Veterans at
gmail dot com. I will still consider possible.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Uh two or three, We could see, but it has to.
Speaker 13 (43:39):

only care so much. We also have Halloween just around
(08:32):
the corner. People are big into the Halloween. People love
the Halloween. And it seems, I don't know, does it
seem to you like there's a lot of adult Halloween
parties going on. And there's a survey taken and fifty
(09:02):
four percent of adults think that adults should get their
own night to celebrate Halloween. An adulta ween adulta ween.
There Now it's called Halloween if you can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
What is this.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Just people who refuse to grow up and demand their
own day. This is for the kids, It's not for you.
The term adulta ween back in the news. The folks
over at Ferrero Candies got it trending last year. It
was dumb last year, and it's still dumb today. Newpole.
(09:44):
Over half adults think the grown ups should get their
own night to celebrate Halloween without having those pesky damn kids.
Most of us agree, still a majority, sixty two percent
think Halloween is just kids. Leave it alone. Grow up,
I mean, have another you know, have your party Saturday
(10:07):
night or take the kids. I mean, hell, kids are
going out so early now for Halloween anymore, because the
times that we're living in, Why can't you still have
your adulta ween party on Halloween later in the evening,
Feed those kids a bunch of candy when they crash
(10:28):
from the sugar high, stick them to bed, and have
your little adult a wine party. Huh. Problem solved. You're welcome.
Like almost everybody I know has done it over the years,
I don't see why you need your own day for Halloween.
(10:50):
And yes, it is another tradition that parents steal candy
from their kids. You got to make make sure that
you know it's safe. You gotta make sure there's no
you know, razor blades or needles or you know, yeah,
cyanide or anything like that. See, you got to check
out the kid's candy. It's it's those are the rules.
(11:14):
You live under my roof. I'm getting a percentage of
your That's how taxes work.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Kids.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You get to learn young how taxes work. We parents
take your candy, and when you grow up, government takes
your money. Just the way it is. The candy that
most parents like to steal. Seventy six percent said full
sized candy bar the top choice. Who gives out full
sized candy bars anymore? Those are expensive these days. Seventy
(11:45):
two percent to prefer the familiar flavors over the new types.
Sixty seven percent of adults still prefer nostalgic favorites from
their own childhood. Men take Halloween a little more seriously
when it comes to the candy. Fifty two percent splurge
on premium candy to make sure that they're a good
(12:05):
candy house. You want to be a good candy house.
You want to be the house that everyone goes to. Oh,
he's got good candy. He's got the good stuff. Compared
to forty one percent of women twenty one percent of men.
Fifteen percent of women will also pass judgment on their
neighbors if the candy they hand out sucks. Sixty percent
(12:26):
overwhelming majority say that they celebrate Halloween for nostalgic reasons. Parents,
it jumps up to sixty eight percent taking your kids Halloweening.
We love Halloween. I mean, you know, hey, who doesn't
love Halloween. It's fun, it's spooky, scary, all Solstice whatever.
(12:46):
Have fun with that. But adulta wine you're you're not
going to get. You're just not going to get the
adult a win. Also, are you scared of the dark.
Some childhood fears are silly to look back on now,
(13:09):
you know, monsters hiding under your bed, But others continue
into adulthood. Clowns. We were talking with Mark last week
about people still having a great fear of clowns. A
lot of people are, well, if you live in a
state that has basements, I've been in some freaky basements,
kind of wonder what else is going on down here?
(13:31):
And scared of vegetables. New survey twenty nine percent of
American adults admit that they're still afraid of the dark.
Twenty four percent say they sleep with a night light,
ten percent prefer to sleep with the lights on, and
men are more likely to admit this than women. On
the flip side, twenty eight percent of people say they
(13:52):
love watching horror movies, and some people enjoy being scared,
so there could be some overlap between the people who
like horror movies and people who are also afraid of
the dark. Men are more likely to love horror movies
than women.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't know why. I've just never really been into them. Well,
because I don't know. They seem to always follow the
same theme.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Men are more likely to admit to having nightmares after
watching a scary movie. Twenty eight percent of people say
they're more likely to wake up in the middle of
the night after watching a horror movie, twenty two percent
say they're more likely to have worse sleep, and twelve
percent say they're more likely to sleep for fewer hours. Huh,
(14:40):
I sleep like a baby because I'm a good boy.
I don't watch horror movies all right.
Speaker 4 (14:49):

what do you want to be when you grow up?
Or I want to be a doctor, I want to
be a lawyer, police officer, firefighter, nurse. Maybe say hey,
I want to be a hospital administrator.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We'll guess what.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
From twenty eleven to twenty thirty three, more money, more
money has been spent on healthcare administration than direct patient care.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, better off, better off? No, skip men's school, No,
don't go to nursing school. Become a hospital bureaucrat.

(18:11):
we got we've got to Yeah, November eleventh coming up.
We're gonna have parades, celebrations, ceremonies, all that stuff. Commissioner
Deutsch will be here in a few minutes to discuss that.
In the meantime, we're still the government government in case
(18:33):
you wouldn't know it if you don't unless you watch
the news and all the gnashing of teeth. But the
government shut down. I know I don't care either, but
some people do. And we're so divided right now that
we know why this Republicans, GOP, conservatives, right leaning independence
(18:57):
know why this shutdown is happening. The left batcrap crazy
or blaming us for the shutdown when they refused to
negotiate on illegal aliens getting free healthcare, don't get it.
(19:21):
In some ways, I don't mind the shutdown because it
allows President Trump to get rid of a lot of people.
But Representative Stube was speaking on television the other day
and here's what he had to say about it.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Look, I've called for Thune to redo the rules. You know,
they call it the nuclear option over there. Why in
the world the American people gave us the House, the
Senate in the White House. The American people don't understand
why it takes sixty votes to fund the government, to
pass bills to get anything done. We did the big
beautiful bill by reconciliation because obviously the Democrats aren't going
to vote for that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They just extra a nuclear.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Option to pass Trump's judges and other confirmations, because of
course Democrats are holding that up as well. Why in
the world are we going to Chuck Schumer to get
sixty votes to fund the government. I don't understand it,
but that's the situation we're in. And then Democrats lie
to the American people and say it's the Republican shutdown,
when we all know it's that the Republican House passed
(20:23):
a clean funding bill to the Senate and we need
seven Democrats to vote along with the Republicans to fund
the government, and they're holding that up. There's been three
Democrats that have voted with Republicans, but not the seven
that you need to get the sixty to get it
to the president's death. So they lie to the American
people and say it's a Republican shutdown. I just don't
understand why we have to go to Chuck Schumer for
anything that's not what the American people want us to do.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's true, that's true. Thank you, Representative Stuby. This really
is yeah John Thune's hands, he could end the sixty
vote loo get back to what it should be, just
a majority, and get it passed and move on open
(21:07):
the government back up. I don't think this doesn't help
the Democrats at all. We're not going to cave. We're
already spending between Ukraine and illegal aliens. The US taxpayer
is funding enough bs. So I would hope that the
(21:30):
Republicans stand strong and do not negotiate with terrorists. And
that's what the Democrat Party has become a bunch of
brainwashed psychotic terrorists. Two six fifteen Where the hell is he?

Journalists from across the political spectrum faced a five pm
Tuesday deadline to sign the Department of Wars new Pentagon
Access Agreement or surrender their credentials, and major outlets, including
The New York Slimes, The Washington Putts, the Communist News Network,
and The Atlantic Reuters and Newsmas Newsmacks. See I told
(22:34):
you they can't be trusted. They announced they would not
comply with the new rules. Fine, gibbye, No credentials for you,
no lanyard with the little plastic badge. No Department of
Wars updated media access policy is prompted a widespread refusal
(22:56):
from national and international news organizations say that the new
guidelines impose unacceptable restrictions on press freedom. When has the
press just been allowed to walk around sensitive areas at
the Pentagon, apparently starting with Obama. No, it's a privilege,
(23:17):
not a right, and you don't get to dictate crap,
Pete Hegseth does. The rules were finalized last month and
took effect this week, requiring journalists to sign an acknowledgment
outlining restrictions on gathering and publishing information in order to
retain Pentagon press credentials. Secretary Haigset defended the new procedures
(23:43):
on September nineteenth, saying, the press does not run the Pentagon,
the people do. The press is no longer allowed to
roam the halls of a secure facility where a badge
and follow the rules or go home is post linked
to The Daily Wire's exclusive story, which first reported the
implementation of the updated guidelines of memo obtained by The
(24:04):
Daily Wire explained that reporters holding a Pentagon facility's alternate
credential must sign an in brief form acknowledging information security
rules and escort requirements. It's the Pentagon, We're not. This
isn't the halls of Congress. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency
will issue new p facts marked Press in red with
(24:27):
distribution prioritized to resident media through September thirtieth into visiting media.
On October first. Memo directed personnel to ensure unescorted journalists
to remain only in designated zones and stated that violations
could lead to credential revocation. Now this has been out
there for a while and despite these assurances that we're
(24:51):
not stomping on anybody's First Amendment in this regard, we're
just not allowing you in certain areas and we're not
allowing you to select. Lisit wrongdoing by members of the Pentagon.
Washington Post, Atlantic, New York Times the only one that
signed it. Nobody signed it, CNN, Reuter's, NPR, the Guardian,
(25:12):
all the left leaning rags did not sign the agreement. Fine,
they don't get press credentials at the Pentagon. The only
news agency that signed it was one American news And
I've talked to online and read online several people who
(25:35):
have commented on this who do a lot of writing,
post a lot of stories, a lot of articles about
the Pentagon, and they don't go into the Pentagon. They
don't have press credentials from the Pentagon, and it hasn't
prevented them from doing their jobs. So it kind of
makes you wonder what sort of shenanigans were a foot
prior to these new press credential criteria at the Pentagon.
(26:00):
So anyway, I'm for it. Thanks a great idea, like
to welcome to the studio Commissioner Steven R. Deutsch going
on the guy.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
And Sam Taylor, the director of the Shallotte County Veterans
Day Parade, a man like no other men. Absolutely amazing
how he donates his time in support of our veterans
in the community. It's just amazing. He's done the parade
since we had Welcome Back Vietnam, and he's he's got
(26:31):
a promise to do it for another twenty five years
because he does such a great.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Job for us. So tell us all about what's coming up.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Well, Sam, why don't you talk. We got about sixty
different groups. We got to have you in that parade.
Someday we can put your people showing up. We're in
the Navy, come on, you could do that.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, and we can still mark.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Why don't you do one of these? Please?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh Jesus Praise.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
The Lord, explain tell us well, as the Commissioner said,
we're having our biennial Veterans Day Parade. It all fell
out of the twenty twenty Welcome Home Vietnam situation that
we held. It was such a positive response that we
(27:15):
kept on doing it now and the county has taken
an initiative to continue doing the parade. We have, as
the Commissioner said about sixty organizations that will be participating
in the parade. I'm very excited because we have some
new groups that have now become involved. One example would
be the Buena Vista Property Owners Association. They're actually going
(27:39):
to put a float and a vehicle into the parade.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Tell them about the kids on the float. That's the
one I'd like.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
The reference on the kids on the float. Normally we
always have the high school bands and all, but for
the first time I had the Peace River Elementary School
reached out to me and their cooral group will be
on a float singing along in the parade.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So nice.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
Those type of things are making it very exciting. Yeah,
for the difference.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
One of the things about parades, you know, we think
the parades are for the veterans. It's in honor of
the veterans, and that's important. And I'm of an age
that I grew up with parades. In fact, that's that's
when I met General President elect Eisenhower and my mom
said he shook my hand and I didn't wash it
for weeks, so that I was ten years old. But anyway,
(28:27):
I'll admit that. But you don't what the parades are
for the young people. In the community.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think we all.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Participated, but I think it's important, Thank you. It's important
for the kids to see the parade, to see our veterans,
to appreciate, to have some sense, to have some sense that,
you know, freedom isn't free. And I was going to
ask you a question because I had an argument with
a friend of mine at the y the other day.
They were talking about the flag burning, and I said,
(28:55):
what would you do if you saw them burning a flag?
Because I don't know any veteran that ever raised their
right hand. Could you stand by and watch the flag burn?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I know I couldn't be stomping a mud hole and I'd.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Be getting my butt cut probably, but you know, thinking
I'm seventeen or eighteen, but there's no way I would.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Put up with that. Sam, Well, here here's the thing.
If people are getting thrown in jail for burning the
gay flag, what are we talking about here? That really?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Well?
Speaker 13 (29:24):
Yeah, well, just to get back to the prey, we
all respect each.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Other, that's the bottom line. There's some mutual respect. Yes,
And I don't want to get political, but.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I mean you just did.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Usually when I'm on your show, it's political. Yeah, but
What's the scary thing is we think too much alike?
Speaker 13 (29:44):
As I said, to get back to the prey again,
as the Commission says, it's not just about the adults
and the veterans. It's getting the kids involved.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And we really do.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
And the Boy Scouts and the kids, that's great.
Speaker 13 (29:56):
I've got five RTC units that are going to be
more nice. I've got seven Boy Scouts Girl Scouts units
that are going to be marshing mark.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
What's the parade route?
Speaker 13 (30:07):
That's what it's just going to lead up. The parade
rout is going to start out at the Portrait at
Beach Complex, go up Harbor Boulevard to Edgewater, make a
left turn onto into the westbound lane on Edgewater and
take that to the Memorial entrance of gains Park.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
By the way, can I put a commercial in about
the Gaines Park because I haven't been here in a while.
Phase one is finished, and if you haven't had chance,
drive by and take a look at it. We're pre assembling.
All the groundwork has done. We're pre assembling part of
the tower right now, and we have to do a
major fundraising thing. Prices of doubleness. It's insane, but take
(30:47):
a look at it and you can. Can you actually
get a feeling for the crater the way they designed it,
it's amazing. So that's just an aside. But that's where
the parade's going to end up.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Good.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Yeah, like I said, we'll end up there. Once the
start time for the parade will be at nine o'clock.
Everybody should be where that. At eight thirty, the police
are going to close of all access to Edgewater and
to Harbor Boulevard from Edgewater to the Beach Complex. So
(31:18):
if you need to get somebody, either get out by
eight thirty or enjoy the parade. But it's only an
hour about We're expecting the prey take about an hour
and fifteen hour and a half. Once the last unit
gets up to the Gains Park, the roads will be
reopened again, which should be about ten forty five at
the latest.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's not bad.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
And the neat thing this year, you know, we go through,
we go through the beach area, and I belong to
the association, but I mentioned it to the president and
the neighborhood and this is cool. The neighborhood is putting
a float in the parade, kind of about getting community involved.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Exactly very nice and speakers.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Uh no, we don't.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
We don't have a program on that day. In the past,
we had some Veteran Veterans Day programs, but the reality
is uh uh, the DAV I belonged to the dav
and the Vietnam vets and the American leaders, they all
have their own program. You know, I talk about Veterans
Day almost in a solemn way because I can remember
(32:25):
being in school. You'll love this. I've said this to
you before, probably a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
We did the prain.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
But on Veterans Day in public school in New York City,
we stood, We said a prayer in public school, believe
that or not. We we did the Pledge of Allegiance,
and we sang My Country tis a v because in
the third grade, you know, he didn't sing the sauce
(32:51):
baglebat it because it's a difficult song to say. But
you know what, it would sort of be nice to
come back to that a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yea.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
And either way, you never let the flag touch the ground.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No, did not happen. Did not happen at all.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So we're excited about the parade, what it does for
the community, how it's been pulling different parts of the
community together. And we actually we have some businesses involved
this year, don't we say I'm for the first.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Oh yes, we've got a whole bunch. I'd rather not
go into names because if I leave somebody out and
somebody's going to get offended. But no, a lot of
the local businesses are involved. Some of the sub organizations
to some of the business are also.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
I'll mention a bigot. I'm not gonna we have a
barbecue vehicle that's going to be in there that's been
reaching out in our community. In fact, I'm going to
be there with some people from the Veterans Nursing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You're always inn the free food.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Yeah, right, well, I'm going there. I probably won't eat
because today's a crazy day, but we've got about fifteen
of the residents of the Veterans Home that are going.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
Since the commissioner likes food, let me kind of build
off that mission barbecue. Yeah, we're also going to have
Twisted Fork will have an entry. Charlie Foxtrot Brewing will
be involved. Along those lines. One of the other areas
that I'd like to also mention be what they do
(34:25):
will be doing a lot for those who want to
again on a Veterans reads across America will be participating.
And for those who want to help out around December thirteenth,
they'll be the major Christmas rereaths being placed out at
the National Cemetery and at the Vietnam Wars.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
And they'd probably be looking for some help lay in
those wreaths.
Speaker 13 (34:49):
Definitely.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
But we've got some great organizations. And by the way,
the three food related organizations he mentioned always always, they're
always there for our first responders and our veterans. I've
been to Mission Barbecue probably a dozen times in the
last two months and they're you know, we were there
with the Purple Heart Group. They're going to be there
(35:11):
again this coming Saturday. They've got we've had a bunch
of people from the nurse from the nursing home. It's
they're doing an amazing job. And they're bringing that huge,
big vehicle. Have you seen what do you call that thing? Sam,
that big truck thing that they have.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What is that mission?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (35:28):
They call it the bam bam Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (35:32):
When I got the first notice that yes, we've got
have the bammam vehicle there. So I didn't know what
a bam BAM was So I went ahead and I
googled it and I'm reading the Bam bam is a
Russian rail car. So I go back to the to
mission barbecue and I said, okay, you're saying the Bam
(35:53):
bam military vehicle, but when I go and google it,
I'm not getting a military vehicle. So she says, i'll
send you picture. And it's an old military transport and
they've converted like a smoker and all the other it's neat.
Yeah they did that Bobby out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
But anyway, we want to encourage people to come out.
And actually there's two really good places to watch and
see the parade. Obviously you could do Harbor Boulevard from
the Beach Complex up to Edgewater, but on one side
of Edgewater, people actually get bring their chance and they
sit in the island and they're like, oh yeah, they're
like five six feet away from the parade as it
(36:31):
goes by, and everybody always recognizes everybody, and they're always
yelling your name out and you're saying hello, and it's
just great to be in the parade and to see
so many veterans in the parade. I know, our Purple
Heart group is going to be involved in the parade.
A number of the American Legion posts are going to
be involved.
Speaker 13 (36:49):
We also going to have several women's veterans organizations, which
will also be a first this year.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Excellent. We got to take a quick break. We'll be
back with more on news radio fifteen eighty.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
To be fair to.
Speaker 9 (37:11):
Toby Fairs, that seems like you're doing all this works
to distract yourself from feelings you don't want to be
dealing with it.
Speaker 10 (37:16):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks, News Radio
fifteen eighty WCCs.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
But even Halloween, because Mexicans, we don't wear costumes. We
usually wear sweats and make them into costumes. Halloween, I
asked my mom. She said, what do you want to be?
I said, I want to be Batman, but in like
the you know, the little kid voice.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I want to be Batman.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
So she made my own costume with the sweats and
the little fake Batman symbol dirty dwaya that the dogs
leapt on as the cake. And you go to school
for that little parade you do. You're walking around on Batman.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
My mom made it Tom.
Speaker 8 (38:04):
But they call you a fat man when you're there,
so came home. Next year's gonna be different. She made
me a skeleton. Look, it's X ray Man.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine fifty four here in a humpday Wednesday at Charlotte
County speaks and we're talking about the Veterans Parade. So, uh, Steven,
are yes, sir? What else do we got going on here?
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Well, now we well it's Samurai.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
We can we can show we've got a we got
a full house. I mean I was looking at the
list of part participants in the parade over fifty.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah, and again let's remind everyone the parade will kick
off about nine am at the end of at the
western end of Harbor Boulevard down near the Beach Complex,
and a really good place to see it is about
halfway up that street between there and Edgewater, or between
Edgewater heading north up towards the Gaines Park. A lot
(39:22):
of people bring their chairs. They sit right in thee
and by the way, you don't need it's not sam
We've got someone handling weather. We figured it's going to
be about seventy four degrees in sunny at the time
of the parade, no snow, no rain.
Speaker 13 (39:37):
We got General Patton's chaplain to help us. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Hey I'm chaplin. But no, we're excited about it. This
is for the whole community, and you know everyone is
involved in the Sheriff's office and the Fight Department, and
you know, we want to thank all the volunteers to
assist and help us. And I sort of tease the
Salvation Army because I remember when I was an active
(40:02):
du who we'd be transferring, who would end up giving
your coffee when you stop somewhere. It was always a
Salvation Army that was out there serving coffee and donuts,
at least when I was there. So I told him
at the end of the parade, for because they're going
to be in the fly says, you guys have to
have coffee. So they said, all right, we'll have coffee
at the end of the trade. And Salvation Army is
one of my favorite charities. So I think they do
(40:23):
a great job. But they're going to be there and
maybe another little surprise that we're not supposed to talk about.
So don't mention the twisted for it no matter what
you say.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Okay, And who's a Grand Marshal.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Oh this year, that's right, we got Bud.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Tell him about Bud and.
Speaker 13 (40:37):
The Grand Marshal this year is Brigadier General Anthony bud Bell.
He's a retired Air Force general. I've been very active
within the logistics commands of the Air Force, and he's
been very active in the Charlotte County. He sits as
a member of the Vietnam Wall of Southwest Florid. He's
(41:00):
on the executive board there. He's an active participating in
helping putting the parade together and whenever we need something
dealing with the veterans, he's one of the first to
volunteer and step forward.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Yeah, he's a member of the Charlotte County Veterans Council.
And I think I first met but with Dick Carr
and Bill Akins. If you want to remember an old name,
you'll be hearing his name soon before you know it again.
But when we first started working on the Vietnam Wall,
I can remember, if it's an aside, the meeting where
they weren't sure where they were going to put it,
(41:31):
and then we had a vote on it and it
ended up and put the Gorda and I refused to
vote on it, but it ended up and put the gorda,
which was great. You know what, that's a great look,
that's a great location, and it works out great, and
it's a very solemn place. We were there, you know,
from Memorial Day programs and other veterans' activities, and I
don't think almost any time I'm there, there's always someone
(41:53):
kneeling and praying sort of like that are at the
Gaines parkt the memorials. There many times I've seen people
at the memorials going.
Speaker 13 (41:59):
About if we're going to talk about the Vietnam War,
I'd like to put a plug in right now, punt
to goorder. City Council has approved the putting a and.
Speaker 6 (42:10):
No keep going. I was doing background saying tank are.
Speaker 13 (42:14):
Being approved the placement of a Huey helicopter at the wall.
We're in doing the research now to obtain one. We
will tell you we do need funds to help that.
It is not an inexpensive proposition. So if anybody is
interested in helping, make a donation to cover approximately sixty
(42:35):
thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
That's without a moter, well, I would hope it.
Speaker 13 (42:42):
Please if any donations send it to the Vietnam Wall
of Southwest Florida. There is a website and all for
a mailing address. I don't have it with me.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, just google the Vietnam Wall of Southwest Florida.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
I'm sure we've all been an helicopter in the military,
and I know I was. But the funny thing is
when I I took a tour with the sheriff because
I wanted to see where we were doing mosquito spraying
when I first got on the commission, and it was
sort of fun to be sitting into you. We were
bullet holes in it because that's what we were using
at the Sheriff's office. It was an old Vietnam helicopter.
Speaker 13 (43:15):
It just we just kept refurbishing and getting and getting
back to the parade itself. Again, if anybody's interested regarding
the parade, my email address is Parade for Veterans at
gmail dot com. I will still consider possible.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Uh two or three, We could see, but it has to.
Speaker 13 (43:39):
Has to be notified.
Speaker 6 (43:40):
How about you and the radio question, Kenny, you ought
to be in it.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Yeah, thank you for your time. Gentlemen. We got to
take the parade. We got a fake news radio update
on the way. We'll be back after that. Thank you
guys so much for what you're doing your big success.
Thanks curs, H w CCF, Phunta Gordon, Shanna County's only
