You got a big event coming up we do tell
(02:01):
us all about it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Good morning, and thank you so much for having us today.
I am here from the City Clerk's office to promote
our upcoming second annual Neighborhood Fall Festival. The City of
Puntagorda is partnering with the Punta Gorda Charlotte Library to
hold this event on Saturday, October twenty fifth at the
library in Punagorda from one to four pm, and just
(02:22):
wanted to share with your listeners about all the cool
stuff that's going to be.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Part of the event, going to indoor and outdoor.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So we will have some parts of the festival that
will be inside the library. Library staff with the Friends
of the Punta Gorda Library are going to be hosting
some arts and crafts activities in the meeting room. We'll
also have a spooky dance party starting at one thirty
for some indoor entertainment, and then outside is where most
(02:48):
of the magic is going to happen. We're going to
have a trigger treat circuit that is staffed completely by
local nonprofits, so it's going to be a great opportunity
for the kids to come through and get candy and
treats and for their adults to learn information about the
resources that those organizations offer within the community. We'll have
everything from affordable healthcare, civic engagement, and charitable volunteer opportunities
(03:13):
for kids and animals, all kinds of things. So that's
a really exciting part of the festival.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Nice food too, yes.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So there will be free food at the event, and
we do want to thank our local wind Dixie store
in Punagorda for helping us out with providing a free
meal for all of those who attend, as well as
our public safety staff, our fire and police employees are
going to be helped with serving that making sure that
we're staying within regulation of course.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So you're gonna have a bunch of people from the
city there too.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, So we're going to have city employees there helping
out with the City Table and the Trigger Treat partner.
They'll also be helping supervise the festival and just being
available to interact with residents. Really, the focus of this
event is to have an opportunity for the community to
come together and connect with their city employees to kind
of show a little bit of the people behind the
(04:03):
faces or the people behind the titles, if you will.
We started this last year as part of our City
Government Week celebrations, which unfortunately had to be canceled because
of all of the hurricane But we decided to go
forward with the Fall Festival because we felt so strongly
about providing a chance for the community to kind of
take a break from all of the hurricane heaviness and
(04:26):
share some moments of joy, some laughter, and a little
sugar never hurtsize.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, like I said, last year, we had it at
the Cooper Street rec Center and partnered with the YMCA
of Southwest Florida for last year's inaugural Fall Festival. This year,
we wanted to grow it bigger and better, so we
moved it to the library, opened up a sponsorship opportunity
for local businesses, and we've had some incredible support. For example,
of the costume contest that we're going to be having
(04:52):
at the festival is generously sponsored by Jarrett Ford of
Charlotte County and the Firm Advertising agency. We'll have some
credible prizes, experiences and suites and treats that have been
donated by local businesses. So we're really looking forward to that.
That will be at three pm, So anybody who wants
to come and participate in the costume contest, make sure
you're at the library by three and bring your best.
(05:14):
We're looking forward to seeing it awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
This sounds like a good time.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
The hours again, yes, So the event is going to
be from one to four pm on Saturday, October twenty
fifth at the Punagorda Charlotte Library. I do want to
let everyone know that we will have overflow parking available
courtesy of First Baptist Church, Punagorda on Gill Street. They
have generously offered to let folks park in their parking
lot and then you can just take the Linear Park
(05:39):
trail straight down to the library to be able to
access that event.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So this is something the city wants to make as
an annual event.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yes, so we're hoping to keep it going next year.
We are looking for organizations that are interested in partnering
with the city to be the twenty twenty six co
host of the Fall Festival. So if that applies to
your organization or business, please reach out to the City
Clerk's office. We'd love to chat about that. But yeah,
this has just been a really fun opportunity for more
(06:08):
city staff to be involved and to really bring local nonprofits,
local businesses together. So we're really excited about making this
an annual event.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And the location will be different each.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
That is the goal. So really kind of having it
be sort of a traveling festival around the city, partnering
with different co hosts each year, although I'm sure at
some point we will return to the library and probably
Cooper Street rec Center because those were both really great
spaces to host the event.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So once again coming up October twenty.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Fifth, Yes, from one to four pm at the Punta
Punta Gorda Charlotte Library located on Shreves Street.

Speaker 9 (07:50):
Part of our process at Markowski Investments, we're trying to
teach people. You want to be wealthy, you have to
have a wealthy mindset. What does that mean? What does
that mean?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Here's a habit.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Here's a habit that you will if you're smart, you
will engage in if you want to do well. Here's
one walk away from easy money. Okay, good money, bad money.
Easy money ninety nine point nine percent of the time
is bad money. It will disappear. Ignore most of the
(08:27):
headlines that are out there, ninety five percent plus are
just garbage. Reinvest what other people are spending, build things up,
compound another rule of ours, compounding being the royal road
to riches, and stay stay underestimated.

It's news radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine F
m W C C F ten twenty two Charlotte County
speaks on a Homepday Wednesday, phone lines A nine four
one two zero six fifteen eighty toll free eight eight
eight four four to one of fifteen eighty. We're talking
(10:07):
about this. While we've been talking about this, and more
news coming to light on just how bad the problem is.
Over to town Hall in Ira Melman, the Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffey issued an interim final rule late last month
halting the issuance of new commercial drivers Licenses CDLs to
(10:30):
illegal aliens and barring the renewal of existing licenses. Licenses
to operate massive eighty thousand pound trucks are being issued
to dangerous foreign drivers, for the most part, illegally. DOT
specifically named six states that are endangering the public by
(10:50):
granting CDLs to illegal aliens who can't speak English and
really can't read road signs very well. Jornia, Colorado, pennsyl Tucky,
South Dakota, Texas, and Washington, and at least two other states.
New York and Oregon also appear to have been issuing
CDLs to illegal aliens and the dot rule was no
(11:14):
doubt triggered by high profile crash here in Florida in August.
Three motorists lost their lives went some more on illegal
alien with a CDL issued by California attempted to make
an illegal U turn right in the middle of a freeway.
Crash was one of five such fatal accidents involving foreign
(11:36):
CDL holders since January, and it was later revealed that
Singh har Ginder Singh failed his English proficiency exam, provided
the correct answers to just two of the twelve questions
on his oral exam and correctly identified only one of
four roadsides and even read a road sign Deadly. Florida
(12:02):
crash also exposed the fact that although illegal aliens are
not eligible for CDLs, they're still getting them in large numbers.
As one immigration law firm notes, quote, there is one
particular exception to the prohibition of granting CDLs to illegal aliens.
It's an exception so big that you could drive a
(12:24):
mack truck through it. The exception is known as the
non domiciled CDL. This avenue allows workers to drive with
a CDL and can be employed even though they're illegal aliens.
So these non domiciled workers needed to qualify for CDLs
was a federal employment authorization document, an obstacle that was
(12:46):
reduced to a mere speed bump during the Biden administration,
and Singh was just one of millions of illegals who
was parolled into the United States and granted permission to
work during those four years. Even more shocking is how
quickly and the illegal alien who secures an EAD can
be behind the wheel of a big rig according to
(13:08):
the Truck Driver Institute, which has eleven training centers around
the country. Quote CDL training only takes three weeks to complete.
After those three weeks, you can be on the road
with a new career. The website goes on to inform
illegal aliens. Quote you may be excited to learn how
non US citizen can get a CDL, but are worried
about the cost. Fear not, because when you get your
(13:30):
CDL with TDI, you can get started for as little
as two hundred and twenty five bucks out of pocket.
Just as a personal aside. I used to be a
recruiter for a truck driving and diesel mechanics school in Ohio,
and it cost about fifty five hundred dollars and was
(13:52):
a lot longer than two weeks. So those of us
who are sharing the road with these newly minted morons
with CDLs our right to be a little bit less
than excited. Risking public safety associated with the illegal aliens
operating big rigs on American highways goes beyond the fact
(14:13):
that many of them are totally unqualified to be driving them.
Ajint operation between IMIGRA and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Oklahoma
Weather wind go speeping down plane post the dangers about illegals.
I mean, in just three days three days last month,
(14:37):
along three hundred and thirty miles of I forty running
through Oklahoma, the joint federal state operation resulted in the
arrest of one hundred and twenty illegal aliens, ninety one
of whom were operating big rigs with CDLs, and among
(14:57):
those arrested were in that's just on one stretcher road,
ninety one ninety one illegal aliens who shouldn't even be
in the country crank out two twenty five to TDI,
regardless of whether they can speak English or read or not,
and they're behind the wheel of a big rig. I
(15:18):
think TDI needs to be investigated quite honestly, and among
those ninety one who were arrested, several had past DUI
convictions and criminal offenses that included illegal re entry into
the United States, money laundering, assault, human smuggling, and narcotics distribution.
(15:40):
And according to Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety Commissioner Tim Tipton, quote,
the vast majority of those people had crossed the border
illegally between twenty twenty one and two thousand and twenty four.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
Hi, caller, you're on the air, Hey Kenny, how you
doing good?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Eh?
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Good? I just had some something quick because you mentioned
Sean Duffy. My daughter Casey was going through her photos
the other day. She made a She had a class
trip to Australia back in the mid to late nineties
and she sat next to Sean Duffy for like three
hours on a play.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That's cool.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
They talked. I thought that was cool, yeah, and that
he was like on an empty She recognized him. He
was on an MTV reality show and she said, yeah,
he was a lumberjack. I didn't know that he was
like a champion log roller lumberjack. Well, anyway, we should
have him over.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Why is he with transportation, he should be over at
the Department of.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Forestry exactly, exactly, have a good one done.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Thanks, Ron, appreciate it. Two six fifteen eighty toll free
eight eight eight four four one eighty.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I mean these guys, you've seen these big rigs, You've
seen how uh you're not stopping them many time quick.
And when you've got somebody who isn't trained properly, can't
even speak English, doesn't know the rules of the road,
can't read road signs. That is blatant danger, blatant disregard
(17:16):
on the part of several state officials, ignoring the safety
of the constituents and the taxpayers. Pretty sad, pretty sad.
But luckily Sean Duffy is on the case and we
will rid the road of these hooligans. Got some more
(17:40):
good news here too, this new study. Come on, load
up for me, This from Amy Curtis. New study shows
that trans identification among youth is in a free fall.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
For years, those who objected to trans ideology and radical
transactivism warned that the sudden explosion of trans identifying kids
was really kind of a social contagion, and that appears
to be the case, being trans was just the political
and social fad often pushed definitely not often definitely pushed
(18:21):
on kids by celebrities, politicians, and teachers throughout the K twelve,
many of them not actually suffering from gender dysphoria at all.
And the left insisted that we're just being bigots and
we're just doing harm to youth by denying their transidentities
than true selves. No, we you're the ones who were
(18:44):
doing harm to them by enabling them, in fact, in
some cases, aiding them without their parents' notification. When we
all know by now, if you've been listening to the show,
the gender dysphoria is a well documented mental illness with
(19:05):
over fifty five years of research prior to people in
the Obama administration just deciding that, hey, we need a
new group of people to exploit. They told us and
many concerned parents that trans kids would commit suicide if
we didn't get them the dangerous puberty blockers, crux sex hormones,
(19:26):
and gender affirming surgery that left kids mutilated, sexually dysfunctional,
and sterile. And when the fact is that we already
knew going into this, courtesy of JOHNS Hopkins, that there's
a forty percent suicide rate with gender dysphoria sufferers, regardless
of whether they get the surgery or not. And it
(19:49):
turns out we were right all along. New data shows
that trans identification among young people is in a refall.
It peaked in twenty twenty three and since then has
been on a rapid decline. Meanwhile, gay and lesbian identities
(20:09):
has remained steady. Why heterosexuality has actually increased. Non conforming
sexual identity queer questioning is also in sharp decline. Gay
and lesbian are stable. Heterosexuality has rebounded by about ten
points since twenty twenty three, and among incoming freshmen, the
rate of trans in queer students was less than the
(20:31):
senior class, an inverse of just a few short years ago.
So it's very likely that the non conformity is going
to continue to fall. So the big question why, why
the sudden reversal. It's not from a shift to religion
or conservatism, so what explains it? There are some answers
(20:54):
in our improved mental healthcare and apparently the pandemic. The pandemic,
the deliberate lockdown was a big factor in the rise
of transgenderism and mental illness. But that seems to have
smoothed out and is now once again in the decline.
(21:16):
And that kind of makes sense. People were stuck at home,
isolated from seeing loved ones and resorted to being perpetually
online and wound up getting sucked into some of these groups.
Just more evidence that the COVID lockdowns did a lot
more harm than good. It didn't do any good, It
didn't zero good. Lockdowns did absolutely nothing but destroyed people's
(21:43):
lives in the economies of a lot of others. So
letting people work and socialize like normal apparently helps improve
mental health. Gee imagine that. So yeah, it was always
a social contagion deliberately implemented by a group of radicals
in our government and in our education system that just
(22:06):
needed a new group of people to exploit. Right all along,
we were proven yet again. So there two six fifteen
eighty toll free eight eight eight four four one fifteen
point eighty and uh, the culprits of the CDLs, the
(22:32):
culprits of Antifa enablers. That would be the state of Oregon.
And of course we're in a government shutdown right now
because the left demands that we spend close to a
trillion dollars in funding health care for illegal aliens. We're
(22:52):
not in that business anymore. We're in the business of
deporting illegal aliens, not giving them free health care, hotels, phones,
ebt cards, taking better care of them than we do
our own veterans and our own homeless. No get Out,
Go Home. However, the state of Oregon plans to spend
(23:14):
more on a program that offers free health care to
illegal aliens. It's going to cost more than the entire
budget of the state police. Democrats keep insisting that they're
not keeping the government shut down over health care for
illegal aliens. But you know, you guys have been outed.
(23:38):
They just don't think we're paying attention for I don't know,
I don't get it. Everybody knows that's what they want,
and they've admitted it on several occasions, some in veiled ways.
But just look at what's going on in the communist
state of Organistan. The state's about to spend more on
health care for illegal aliens than they spend on their
(23:59):
state police. And not by a small amount. We're talking
hundreds of millions of dollars. The demo crap led state
of Oregon is on track to spend five hundred million
dollars on a program that includes free healthcare for illegal
aliens that on its state police budget. According to the
(24:22):
State Reports, Healthier Oregon program HOP has a budget currently
set at one point three billion dollars. Program, launched in
twenty twenty two, has seen a rise of eleven hundred
percent in costs since it launched. Because you know, aside
from giving illegal aliens free healthcare, there's got to be
(24:44):
a lot of pockets lined as well, I would imagine,
because we're talking Democrats here. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Police
has a budget of about seven hundred and seventeen million.
Oregon Health Authority website says starting July first, twenty twenty three,
illegal aliens status is no longer affects whether someone qualifies
(25:05):
for the full Oregon Health Plan. Pretty absurd. Assistant Secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security Trisia McLoughlin, blasted the
state for its obscenely lopsided budgeting. Pretty absurd. Oregon will
spend five hundred million plus on free health care for
illegal aliens regardless of legal status, more than on state
(25:28):
police in its current budget period. It's one of the
reasons why Democrats are losing the optics battle in the shutdown.
They can claim until they're blue in the face that
they're not trying to fund healthcare for illegal aliens, but
everyone knows that it's to fund health care for illegal
aliens because Democrats lie. So the priorities on display in
(25:51):
Oregon are the priorities of the entire Democrat party, folks,
the party that defunded police screams bloody murder if you
try to take free healthcare away from illegal aliens, and
what have you seen? If you want to if you
need to puke in your mouth a little, if you
(26:14):
you know, ate something that didn't agree with you and
you just got to get it out, google a picture
of Oregon Governor Tina Cotex and it'll help. It'll come
right up.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you
know that, or his dude, miss or duder or you
know el dud Reno. If you're not into the whole
brevity thing, we'll be right back with.

Let the razzle become you eat it, chew, it's spit

Sundays News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FMWCCF
ten forty eight Here on a humpday Wednesday at Charlotte County.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Speaks and shot down in flames. That's what happened to
the Democrats in the last election. Shot down in flames.
They're always on the wrong side of every issue. And
(29:34):
given the way they got schalacked in the last election,
their unpopularity right now in Congress and the Senate, you'd
think they'd try to moderate, you know, moderate their positions,
become a little you know, middle of the road on
their positions here to try and woo some voters in.
(29:54):
But they won't. They won't. So why aren't the Democrats
moderating their positions? Andrea Woodberg says they can't. They've lost
it completely. If you're older than thirty, there used to
(30:15):
be a time here in America where we all had
kind of the same understanding of the natural world, we
all had somewhat similar values and a certain level of patriotism.
And this was despite the growth of the state over
the twentieth century. But over the last twenty years we've
gone from political differences still anchored in a few common
(30:36):
ideas to worldviews so dramatically and completely different that there's
no room for consensus. And the new Democrat positions are
way too extreme to change. Like we're just discussing the
transgender issue. Americans used to understand that men or men
and women are women, and women's rights movement address the
(30:58):
role women would play in society, but didn't change that
fundamental premise. Where things went off the rails was when
the leftists decided to when they got control of the
party again, they decided they needed a whole group of
people to start manipulating and exploiting. Leftists did the same
(31:23):
thing with immigration. The debate in America used to be
how many immigrants would best serve American interests. We allowed
a certain number to come in and they used to assimilate,
but then we just started air dropping people from all
over the world into little locations, balkanizing the United States.
Nobody plans on becoming American and assimilating, and Democrats changed
(31:55):
the terms of the debate. The new theory is that
borders are inherently evil, and they shifted the discussion from
how many people we should bring into America to claim
that America should not exist as a nation with borders,
but rather be a geographical entity that absorbs everybody. So
it's no longer about having a homogeneous nation built on
(32:16):
a unified American culture. It's about a whole, geneous world,
just all one world, all just everyone, no borders, and
nobody wants that. Europe doesn't want it. A lot of
countries in here, a lot of people in Europe, the UK.
Look what happened to them because of that. So it's
irrelevant to leftists that conquering cultures Islam and China exploit
(32:40):
this approach to immigration. And the policy is fixed on
the Democrats side of the aisle. And again, you can't
moderate your position on a policy that says that both
borders and America are inherently evil. It's no longer a
question of how many immigrants or what should happen when
they arrive, it's instead an embrace of an endless in
lux of everyone. Democrats have just totally gone off the rails,
(33:08):
and now they've become completely anti Semitic on top of that.
So given a Democrats positions, all of which can't be
moderated for whatever reason, the only thing left is brute
force battle of values, with one side or another prevailing.
(33:32):
And I think we're looking pretty good on winning that
one because outside of the blue cities, most people aren't
putting up with that bs anymore from them. The only
way to avoid the bloodshed is for Conservatives, independents, and
(33:53):
other Saint Americans to vote Democrats out of office in
every election, including midterms. They need to be reduced to
an inconsequential rump without following Otherwise it's going to be
happening outside of Portland, Chicago, and New York City and
(34:14):
coming to a neighborhood near you. They've lost their way
at this point. Their ideology is irredeemable, as are the
people that foisted upon us. It's time to get rid
of them. And now it's time for five random random facts.
(34:41):
Trying to find it here. Number one of your five
random facts spelling bees are mostly unique to the English
language due to its spelling irregularities. Other languages, Italian, German,
and Turkish have highly phonetic writing systems, with a virtually
(35:03):
one to one ratio of letters to sound, which makes
spelling kind of predictable, not so with the English language.
Number two. About two million years ago, there was a
species of rodents that were as big as hipnopotamuses. New
number three. Oh my god, it's one of these. Scientists
(35:33):
can use one circumcised foreskin, which is about the size
of a stamp, to grow almost four acres of skin
that can be transplanted onto burn victims. Number four. From
colonial times until World War two, May first was called
Moving Day in New York City, and it was a
(35:56):
tradition for millions of people to move at nine am
on that day. All right, And finally, number five of
your five random facts, the first recorded sandwich in history
was made by a rabbi named Hillel the Elder for
Passover in the first century BC. It was a mix
(36:18):
of nuts, apples, spices and wine in between two pieces
of matza. And uh, there's your five random facts. Yeah,
This from speaker Mike Johnson. In case you were wondering
what the demo craps, what the communists, what the anti freedom,
(36:41):
anti country democrats are demanding? One point five trillion in
new partisan spending. Totally unserious proposal made by totally unserious people.
Two hundred billion for healthcare for illegal aliens. No repeal
(37:02):
of the fifty billion dollar rural hospitals fund. No permanent
COVID subsidies without reforms. No five hundred million for liberal
news outlets.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
No four million for global LGBTQI whatever plus awareness campaigns.
No four million for LGBTQ plus whatever democracy grants in
the Balkans.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No two million for feminist democratic principles in Africa.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
Again.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Hell No, that's how unserious the morons of the left
have become, you know. Yeah, phew boy a. Historically, what
(38:07):
do we got?
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
It was on this date in eighteen sixty eleven year
old Grace Biddell of Westfield, New York wrote presidential candidate
Abe Lincoln a letter suggesting he would look better if
he grew a beard.
Speaker 11 (38:20):
So he did.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
It was seventy two years ago, nineteen fifty three, on
this date, that Winston Churchill won the Nobel Prize for
Literature for quote his mastery of historical and biographical description,
as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human
values forty nine years ago, nineteen seventy six, in the
(38:50):
first debate of its kind between vice presidential nominees. He
never used to have VP debates, the first one of
its kind this day, nineteen seventy six, against Bob Dole
and Walder Mondale. Woh wow. Dole was Gerald Ford's running mate.
(39:11):
Mondale was Jimmy Carter's. And we all know how that
kind of now, that kind of went didn't go our way,
but we only got one term out of the peanut farmer.
Mikhail Gorbachev on this date. In nineteen ninety he got
the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in bringing the
(39:33):
Cold War to an end, even though we all know
it was Ronaldus Magnus Ronald Reagan who should have got
that Peace Prize too. So again the Peace Prize, Nobel
Peace Prize took a dump decades ago. Decades ago, nineteen
ninety one. On this date, the Great Clarence Thomas won
(39:55):
Senate confirmation for the Supreme Court fifty two forty eight
on that one, and uh balloon Boy. Remember the balloom
Boy hoax on this date in two thousand and nine.
It was just a dummy up there. Oh God, have
(40:18):
a good day kids. Anybody got any more jokes, any funny? Nope, nope,
all right, see you folks.

You got a big event coming up we do tell
(02:01):
us all about it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Good morning, and thank you so much for having us today.
I am here from the City Clerk's office to promote
our upcoming second annual Neighborhood Fall Festival. The City of
Puntagorda is partnering with the Punta Gorda Charlotte Library to
hold this event on Saturday, October twenty fifth at the
library in Punagorda from one to four pm, and just
(02:22):
wanted to share with your listeners about all the cool
stuff that's going to be.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Part of the event, going to indoor and outdoor.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So we will have some parts of the festival that
will be inside the library. Library staff with the Friends
of the Punta Gorda Library are going to be hosting
some arts and crafts activities in the meeting room. We'll
also have a spooky dance party starting at one thirty
for some indoor entertainment, and then outside is where most
(02:48):
of the magic is going to happen. We're going to
have a trigger treat circuit that is staffed completely by
local nonprofits, so it's going to be a great opportunity
for the kids to come through and get candy and
treats and for their adults to learn information about the
resources that those organizations offer within the community. We'll have
everything from affordable healthcare, civic engagement, and charitable volunteer opportunities
(03:13):
for kids and animals, all kinds of things. So that's
a really exciting part of the festival.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Nice food too, yes.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So there will be free food at the event, and
we do want to thank our local wind Dixie store
in Punagorda for helping us out with providing a free
meal for all of those who attend, as well as
our public safety staff, our fire and police employees are
going to be helped with serving that making sure that
we're staying within regulation of course.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So you're gonna have a bunch of people from the
city there too.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, So we're going to have city employees there helping
out with the City Table and the Trigger Treat partner.
They'll also be helping supervise the festival and just being
available to interact with residents. Really, the focus of this
event is to have an opportunity for the community to
come together and connect with their city employees to kind
of show a little bit of the people behind the
(04:03):
faces or the people behind the titles, if you will.
We started this last year as part of our City
Government Week celebrations, which unfortunately had to be canceled because
of all of the hurricane But we decided to go
forward with the Fall Festival because we felt so strongly
about providing a chance for the community to kind of
take a break from all of the hurricane heaviness and
(04:26):
share some moments of joy, some laughter, and a little
sugar never hurtsize.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, like I said, last year, we had it at
the Cooper Street rec Center and partnered with the YMCA
of Southwest Florida for last year's inaugural Fall Festival. This year,
we wanted to grow it bigger and better, so we
moved it to the library, opened up a sponsorship opportunity
for local businesses, and we've had some incredible support. For example,
of the costume contest that we're going to be having
(04:52):
at the festival is generously sponsored by Jarrett Ford of
Charlotte County and the Firm Advertising agency. We'll have some
credible prizes, experiences and suites and treats that have been
donated by local businesses. So we're really looking forward to that.
That will be at three pm, So anybody who wants
to come and participate in the costume contest, make sure
you're at the library by three and bring your best.
(05:14):
We're looking forward to seeing it awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
This sounds like a good time.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
The hours again, yes, So the event is going to
be from one to four pm on Saturday, October twenty
fifth at the Punagorda Charlotte Library. I do want to
let everyone know that we will have overflow parking available
courtesy of First Baptist Church, Punagorda on Gill Street. They
have generously offered to let folks park in their parking
lot and then you can just take the Linear Park
(05:39):
trail straight down to the library to be able to
access that event.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So this is something the city wants to make as
an annual event.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yes, so we're hoping to keep it going next year.
We are looking for organizations that are interested in partnering
with the city to be the twenty twenty six co
host of the Fall Festival. So if that applies to
your organization or business, please reach out to the City
Clerk's office. We'd love to chat about that. But yeah,
this has just been a really fun opportunity for more
(06:08):
city staff to be involved and to really bring local nonprofits,
local businesses together. So we're really excited about making this
an annual event.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And the location will be different each.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
That is the goal. So really kind of having it
be sort of a traveling festival around the city, partnering
with different co hosts each year, although I'm sure at
some point we will return to the library and probably
Cooper Street rec Center because those were both really great
spaces to host the event.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So once again coming up October twenty.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Fifth, Yes, from one to four pm at the Punta
Punta Gorda Charlotte Library located on Shreves Street.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now, is there any Is there a website of Facebook?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yes, so please follow the city's Facebook page for updates.

Festival on the city's website Cityapuntagorda fl dot com. Under

have a wealthy mindset. What does that mean? What does
that mean?

Here's a habit.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Here's a habit that you will if you're smart, you
will engage in if you want to do well. Here's
one walk away from easy money. Okay, good money, bad money.
Easy money ninety nine point nine percent of the time
is bad money. It will disappear. Ignore most of the
(08:27):
headlines that are out there, ninety five percent plus are
just garbage. Reinvest what other people are spending, build things up,
compound another rule of ours, compounding being the royal road
to riches, and stay stay underestimated.

It's news radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine F
m W C C F ten twenty two Charlotte County
speaks on a Homepday Wednesday, phone lines A nine four
one two zero six fifteen eighty toll free eight eight
eight four four to one of fifteen eighty. We're talking
(10:07):
about this. While we've been talking about this, and more
news coming to light on just how bad the problem is.
Over to town Hall in Ira Melman, the Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffey issued an interim final rule late last month
halting the issuance of new commercial drivers Licenses CDLs to
(10:30):
illegal aliens and barring the renewal of existing licenses. Licenses
to operate massive eighty thousand pound trucks are being issued
to dangerous foreign drivers, for the most part, illegally. DOT
specifically named six states that are endangering the public by
(10:50):
granting CDLs to illegal aliens who can't speak English and
really can't read road signs very well. Jornia, Colorado, pennsyl Tucky,
South Dakota, Texas, and Washington, and at least two other states.
New York and Oregon also appear to have been issuing
CDLs to illegal aliens and the dot rule was no
(11:14):
doubt triggered by high profile crash here in Florida in August.
Three motorists lost their lives went some more on illegal
alien with a CDL issued by California attempted to make
an illegal U turn right in the middle of a freeway.
Crash was one of five such fatal accidents involving foreign
(11:36):
CDL holders since January, and it was later revealed that
Singh har Ginder Singh failed his English proficiency exam, provided
the correct answers to just two of the twelve questions
on his oral exam and correctly identified only one of
four roadsides and even read a road sign Deadly. Florida
(12:02):
crash also exposed the fact that although illegal aliens are
not eligible for CDLs, they're still getting them in large numbers.
As one immigration law firm notes, quote, there is one
particular exception to the prohibition of granting CDLs to illegal aliens.
It's an exception so big that you could drive a
(12:24):
mack truck through it. The exception is known as the
non domiciled CDL. This avenue allows workers to drive with
a CDL and can be employed even though they're illegal aliens.
So these non domiciled workers needed to qualify for CDLs
was a federal employment authorization document, an obstacle that was
(12:46):
reduced to a mere speed bump during the Biden administration,
and Singh was just one of millions of illegals who
was parolled into the United States and granted permission to
work during those four years. Even more shocking is how
quickly and the illegal alien who secures an EAD can
be behind the wheel of a big rig according to
(13:08):
the Truck Driver Institute, which has eleven training centers around
the country. Quote CDL training only takes three weeks to complete.
After those three weeks, you can be on the road
with a new career. The website goes on to inform
illegal aliens. Quote you may be excited to learn how
non US citizen can get a CDL, but are worried
about the cost. Fear not, because when you get your
(13:30):
CDL with TDI, you can get started for as little
as two hundred and twenty five bucks out of pocket.
Just as a personal aside. I used to be a
recruiter for a truck driving and diesel mechanics school in Ohio,
and it cost about fifty five hundred dollars and was
(13:52):
a lot longer than two weeks. So those of us
who are sharing the road with these newly minted morons
with CDLs our right to be a little bit less
than excited. Risking public safety associated with the illegal aliens
operating big rigs on American highways goes beyond the fact
(14:13):
that many of them are totally unqualified to be driving them.
Ajint operation between IMIGRA and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Oklahoma
Weather wind go speeping down plane post the dangers about illegals.
I mean, in just three days three days last month,
(14:37):
along three hundred and thirty miles of I forty running
through Oklahoma, the joint federal state operation resulted in the
arrest of one hundred and twenty illegal aliens, ninety one
of whom were operating big rigs with CDLs, and among
(14:57):
those arrested were in that's just on one stretcher road,
ninety one ninety one illegal aliens who shouldn't even be
in the country crank out two twenty five to TDI,
regardless of whether they can speak English or read or not,
and they're behind the wheel of a big rig. I
(15:18):
think TDI needs to be investigated quite honestly, and among
those ninety one who were arrested, several had past DUI
convictions and criminal offenses that included illegal re entry into
the United States, money laundering, assault, human smuggling, and narcotics distribution.
(15:40):
And according to Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety Commissioner Tim Tipton, quote,
the vast majority of those people had crossed the border
illegally between twenty twenty one and two thousand and twenty four.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
Hi, caller, you're on the air, Hey Kenny, how you
doing good?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Eh?
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Good? I just had some something quick because you mentioned
Sean Duffy. My daughter Casey was going through her photos
the other day. She made a She had a class
trip to Australia back in the mid to late nineties
and she sat next to Sean Duffy for like three
hours on a play.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That's cool.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
They talked. I thought that was cool, yeah, and that
he was like on an empty She recognized him. He
was on an MTV reality show and she said, yeah,
he was a lumberjack. I didn't know that he was
like a champion log roller lumberjack. Well, anyway, we should
have him over.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Why is he with transportation, he should be over at
the Department of.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Forestry exactly, exactly, have a good one done.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Thanks, Ron, appreciate it. Two six fifteen eighty toll free
eight eight eight four four one eighty.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I mean these guys, you've seen these big rigs, You've
seen how uh you're not stopping them many time quick.
And when you've got somebody who isn't trained properly, can't
even speak English, doesn't know the rules of the road,
can't read road signs. That is blatant danger, blatant disregard
(17:16):
on the part of several state officials, ignoring the safety
of the constituents and the taxpayers. Pretty sad, pretty sad.
But luckily Sean Duffy is on the case and we
will rid the road of these hooligans. Got some more
(17:40):
good news here too, this new study. Come on, load
up for me, This from Amy Curtis. New study shows
that trans identification among youth is in a free fall.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
For years, those who objected to trans ideology and radical
transactivism warned that the sudden explosion of trans identifying kids
was really kind of a social contagion, and that appears
to be the case, being trans was just the political
and social fad often pushed definitely not often definitely pushed
(18:21):
on kids by celebrities, politicians, and teachers throughout the K twelve,
many of them not actually suffering from gender dysphoria at all.
And the left insisted that we're just being bigots and
we're just doing harm to youth by denying their transidentities
than true selves. No, we you're the ones who were
(18:44):
doing harm to them by enabling them, in fact, in
some cases, aiding them without their parents' notification. When we
all know by now, if you've been listening to the show,
the gender dysphoria is a well documented mental illness with
(19:05):
over fifty five years of research prior to people in
the Obama administration just deciding that, hey, we need a
new group of people to exploit. They told us and
many concerned parents that trans kids would commit suicide if
we didn't get them the dangerous puberty blockers, crux sex hormones,
(19:26):
and gender affirming surgery that left kids mutilated, sexually dysfunctional,
and sterile. And when the fact is that we already
knew going into this, courtesy of JOHNS Hopkins, that there's
a forty percent suicide rate with gender dysphoria sufferers, regardless
of whether they get the surgery or not. And it
(19:49):
turns out we were right all along. New data shows
that trans identification among young people is in a refall.
It peaked in twenty twenty three and since then has
been on a rapid decline. Meanwhile, gay and lesbian identities
(20:09):
has remained steady. Why heterosexuality has actually increased. Non conforming
sexual identity queer questioning is also in sharp decline. Gay
and lesbian are stable. Heterosexuality has rebounded by about ten
points since twenty twenty three, and among incoming freshmen, the
rate of trans in queer students was less than the
(20:31):
senior class, an inverse of just a few short years ago.
So it's very likely that the non conformity is going
to continue to fall. So the big question why, why
the sudden reversal. It's not from a shift to religion
or conservatism, so what explains it? There are some answers
(20:54):
in our improved mental healthcare and apparently the pandemic. The pandemic,
the deliberate lockdown was a big factor in the rise
of transgenderism and mental illness. But that seems to have
smoothed out and is now once again in the decline.
(21:16):
And that kind of makes sense. People were stuck at home,
isolated from seeing loved ones and resorted to being perpetually
online and wound up getting sucked into some of these groups.
Just more evidence that the COVID lockdowns did a lot
more harm than good. It didn't do any good, It
didn't zero good. Lockdowns did absolutely nothing but destroyed people's
(21:43):
lives in the economies of a lot of others. So
letting people work and socialize like normal apparently helps improve
mental health. Gee imagine that. So yeah, it was always
a social contagion deliberately implemented by a group of radicals
in our government and in our education system that just
(22:06):
needed a new group of people to exploit. Right all along,
we were proven yet again. So there two six fifteen
eighty toll free eight eight eight four four one fifteen
point eighty and uh, the culprits of the CDLs, the
(22:32):
culprits of Antifa enablers. That would be the state of Oregon.
And of course we're in a government shutdown right now
because the left demands that we spend close to a
trillion dollars in funding health care for illegal aliens. We're
(22:52):
not in that business anymore. We're in the business of
deporting illegal aliens, not giving them free health care, hotels, phones,
ebt cards, taking better care of them than we do
our own veterans and our own homeless. No get Out,
Go Home. However, the state of Oregon plans to spend
(23:14):
more on a program that offers free health care to
illegal aliens. It's going to cost more than the entire
budget of the state police. Democrats keep insisting that they're
not keeping the government shut down over health care for
illegal aliens. But you know, you guys have been outed.
(23:38):
They just don't think we're paying attention for I don't know,
I don't get it. Everybody knows that's what they want,
and they've admitted it on several occasions, some in veiled ways.
But just look at what's going on in the communist
state of Organistan. The state's about to spend more on
health care for illegal aliens than they spend on their
(23:59):
state police. And not by a small amount. We're talking
hundreds of millions of dollars. The demo crap led state
of Oregon is on track to spend five hundred million
dollars on a program that includes free healthcare for illegal
aliens that on its state police budget. According to the
(24:22):
State Reports, Healthier Oregon program HOP has a budget currently
set at one point three billion dollars. Program, launched in
twenty twenty two, has seen a rise of eleven hundred
percent in costs since it launched. Because you know, aside
from giving illegal aliens free healthcare, there's got to be
(24:44):
a lot of pockets lined as well, I would imagine,
because we're talking Democrats here. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Police
has a budget of about seven hundred and seventeen million.
Oregon Health Authority website says starting July first, twenty twenty three,
illegal aliens status is no longer affects whether someone qualifies
(25:05):
for the full Oregon Health Plan. Pretty absurd. Assistant Secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security Trisia McLoughlin, blasted the
state for its obscenely lopsided budgeting. Pretty absurd. Oregon will
spend five hundred million plus on free health care for
illegal aliens regardless of legal status, more than on state
(25:28):
police in its current budget period. It's one of the
reasons why Democrats are losing the optics battle in the shutdown.
They can claim until they're blue in the face that
they're not trying to fund healthcare for illegal aliens, but
everyone knows that it's to fund health care for illegal
aliens because Democrats lie. So the priorities on display in
(25:51):
Oregon are the priorities of the entire Democrat party, folks,
the party that defunded police screams bloody murder if you
try to take free healthcare away from illegal aliens, and
what have you seen? If you want to if you
need to puke in your mouth a little, if you
(26:14):
you know, ate something that didn't agree with you and
you just got to get it out, google a picture
of Oregon Governor Tina Cotex and it'll help. It'll come
right up.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you
know that, or his dude, miss or duder or you
know el dud Reno. If you're not into the whole
brevity thing, we'll be right back with.

Sundays News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FMWCCF
ten forty eight Here on a humpday Wednesday at Charlotte County.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Speaks and shot down in flames. That's what happened to
the Democrats in the last election. Shot down in flames.
They're always on the wrong side of every issue. And
(29:34):
given the way they got schalacked in the last election,
their unpopularity right now in Congress and the Senate, you'd
think they'd try to moderate, you know, moderate their positions,
become a little you know, middle of the road on
their positions here to try and woo some voters in.
(29:54):
But they won't. They won't. So why aren't the Democrats
moderating their positions? Andrea Woodberg says they can't. They've lost
it completely. If you're older than thirty, there used to
(30:15):
be a time here in America where we all had
kind of the same understanding of the natural world, we
all had somewhat similar values and a certain level of patriotism.
And this was despite the growth of the state over
the twentieth century. But over the last twenty years we've
gone from political differences still anchored in a few common
(30:36):
ideas to worldviews so dramatically and completely different that there's
no room for consensus. And the new Democrat positions are
way too extreme to change. Like we're just discussing the
transgender issue. Americans used to understand that men or men
and women are women, and women's rights movement address the
(30:58):
role women would play in society, but didn't change that
fundamental premise. Where things went off the rails was when
the leftists decided to when they got control of the
party again, they decided they needed a whole group of
people to start manipulating and exploiting. Leftists did the same
(31:23):
thing with immigration. The debate in America used to be
how many immigrants would best serve American interests. We allowed
a certain number to come in and they used to assimilate,
but then we just started air dropping people from all
over the world into little locations, balkanizing the United States.
Nobody plans on becoming American and assimilating, and Democrats changed
(31:55):
the terms of the debate. The new theory is that
borders are inherently evil, and they shifted the discussion from
how many people we should bring into America to claim
that America should not exist as a nation with borders,
but rather be a geographical entity that absorbs everybody. So
it's no longer about having a homogeneous nation built on
(32:16):
a unified American culture. It's about a whole, geneous world,
just all one world, all just everyone, no borders, and
nobody wants that. Europe doesn't want it. A lot of
countries in here, a lot of people in Europe, the UK.
Look what happened to them because of that. So it's
irrelevant to leftists that conquering cultures Islam and China exploit
(32:40):
this approach to immigration. And the policy is fixed on
the Democrats side of the aisle. And again, you can't
moderate your position on a policy that says that both
borders and America are inherently evil. It's no longer a
question of how many immigrants or what should happen when
they arrive, it's instead an embrace of an endless in
lux of everyone. Democrats have just totally gone off the rails,
(33:08):
and now they've become completely anti Semitic on top of that.
So given a Democrats positions, all of which can't be
moderated for whatever reason, the only thing left is brute
force battle of values, with one side or another prevailing.
(33:32):
And I think we're looking pretty good on winning that
one because outside of the blue cities, most people aren't
putting up with that bs anymore from them. The only
way to avoid the bloodshed is for Conservatives, independents, and
(33:53):
other Saint Americans to vote Democrats out of office in
every election, including midterms. They need to be reduced to
an inconsequential rump without following Otherwise it's going to be
happening outside of Portland, Chicago, and New York City and
(34:14):
coming to a neighborhood near you. They've lost their way
at this point. Their ideology is irredeemable, as are the
people that foisted upon us. It's time to get rid
of them. And now it's time for five random random facts.
(34:41):
Trying to find it here. Number one of your five
random facts spelling bees are mostly unique to the English
language due to its spelling irregularities. Other languages, Italian, German,
and Turkish have highly phonetic writing systems, with a virtually
(35:03):
one to one ratio of letters to sound, which makes
spelling kind of predictable, not so with the English language.
Number two. About two million years ago, there was a
species of rodents that were as big as hipnopotamuses. New
number three. Oh my god, it's one of these. Scientists
(35:33):
can use one circumcised foreskin, which is about the size
of a stamp, to grow almost four acres of skin
that can be transplanted onto burn victims. Number four. From
colonial times until World War two, May first was called
Moving Day in New York City, and it was a
(35:56):
tradition for millions of people to move at nine am
on that day. All right, And finally, number five of
your five random facts, the first recorded sandwich in history
was made by a rabbi named Hillel the Elder for
Passover in the first century BC. It was a mix
(36:18):
of nuts, apples, spices and wine in between two pieces
of matza. And uh, there's your five random facts. Yeah,
This from speaker Mike Johnson. In case you were wondering
what the demo craps, what the communists, what the anti freedom,
(36:41):
anti country democrats are demanding? One point five trillion in
new partisan spending. Totally unserious proposal made by totally unserious people.
Two hundred billion for healthcare for illegal aliens. No repeal
(37:02):
of the fifty billion dollar rural hospitals fund. No permanent
COVID subsidies without reforms. No five hundred million for liberal
news outlets.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
No four million for global LGBTQI whatever plus awareness campaigns.
No four million for LGBTQ plus whatever democracy grants in
the Balkans.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No two million for feminist democratic principles in Africa.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
Again.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Hell No, that's how unserious the morons of the left
have become, you know. Yeah, phew boy a. Historically, what
(38:07):
do we got?
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
It was on this date in eighteen sixty eleven year
old Grace Biddell of Westfield, New York wrote presidential candidate
Abe Lincoln a letter suggesting he would look better if
he grew a beard.
Speaker 11 (38:20):
So he did.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
It was seventy two years ago, nineteen fifty three, on
this date, that Winston Churchill won the Nobel Prize for
Literature for quote his mastery of historical and biographical description,
as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human
values forty nine years ago, nineteen seventy six, in the
(38:50):
first debate of its kind between vice presidential nominees. He
never used to have VP debates, the first one of
its kind this day, nineteen seventy six, against Bob Dole
and Walder Mondale. Woh wow. Dole was Gerald Ford's running mate.
(39:11):
Mondale was Jimmy Carter's. And we all know how that
kind of now, that kind of went didn't go our way,
but we only got one term out of the peanut farmer.
Mikhail Gorbachev on this date. In nineteen ninety he got
the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in bringing the
(39:33):
Cold War to an end, even though we all know
it was Ronaldus Magnus Ronald Reagan who should have got
that Peace Prize too. So again the Peace Prize, Nobel
Peace Prize took a dump decades ago. Decades ago, nineteen
ninety one. On this date, the Great Clarence Thomas won
(39:55):
Senate confirmation for the Supreme Court fifty two forty eight
on that one, and uh balloon Boy. Remember the balloom
Boy hoax on this date in two thousand and nine.
It was just a dummy up there. Oh God, have
(40:18):
a good day kids. Anybody got any more jokes, any funny? Nope, nope,
all right, see you folks.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
If you are not fad easily, you're clue. If you're not,
then you are the crew. Please leave, We are close.
Make your way to the door.
