to Vince in Florida. Vince, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Begod morning? You know the two shooters I just read
in Australia which is almost impossible to get a gun
owned guns legally, which reminded me of the story that
here in Fort Pierce, I just moved down here, I'm
at a gun store and he tells me. The shooter,
Olmar Betine, the guy that killed the fifty kids in
the nightclub, went to that gun store tried to buy guns.

(01:12):
They overheard him on the phone, and they denied selling
him guns. They gave the owner his background information. The
owner called the FBI two weeks before the shooting. This
was Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You hear a lot of these guys came down there.
You hear a lot of these kind of stories where
they could have caught the guy. They didn't catch the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
They didn't catch him, and the FBI denied anything.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
In the other send they call the FBI for you. Hey, yeah,
you got you got a lot of crazy people down
there in Florida. And nothing personal, but you know what
I mean, I don't know if it's no heat or what. Yeah, no, no,
I'm just saying, you got a lot of crazy people
down there in Florida. Yeah, how many? Per cappity? You
got more crazy incidents there with guns and things than
anywhere else. Let's go to Virginia in Massapequa, Virginia.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
How you doing, Hie, Mark, marry Christmas. And I'm so happy,
Oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm sorry about me
I'm so happy to hear that Curtis. I'm a new listener.
I'm actually a new listener. Yes, I'm happy about YouTube.
I am a new listener. I used to listen to
w w ABC, but Curtisy will only and because he's

(02:15):
just he's funny, he's on point about everything. He's a
sworn man and driving to work this morning. Like I said,
a new listener. I've been listening about a week and
just to hear the Curtis is coming on wo R,
which people have been talking about online. It's just like
the best early Christmas gift ever.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And well you got to hear lots of lots of Curtis.
He'll be filling in for me for two weeks. Yeah,
oh wait a minute, December twenty second through. I think
I'm off Friday. That might be Ken Risotto. But next
week you'll get Curtis. Next week you'll get Curtis for
two weeks.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
It's just it's really good because I know that he's
you know, you guys will maybe he'll find a spot
or whatever. I really like the station. I'm enjoying everything
that I'm hearing, and it's just really refreshing to have
have people a station that doesn't insult their listeners in
quodling morons and the fact that Curtis is going to
be on.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And you know the minute I call people morons.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
No, I mean there are.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
People I don't call regular people, but no, I know. Hey,
we're glad to have you as a listener. Thanks, thanks
for coming on board. Be listening for Curtis next week.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. As you pointed out
earlier in the show, there's no country in the world
that has more restrictive gun world. No perhaps New Zealand,
where you can't even own a p shooter. This demonstrates
that when you restrict guns like that and to the people,

(03:48):
the legal people, like they did in Australia. They even
confiscated rifles in Australia. And in the NL magazine they
showed you this mountain, this pile of all the guns
they confidence gated. Then only the criminals could get them,
because criminals have a different mindset. Legit people, when they

(04:08):
can't get something, they can't get a gun, all right,
that's it, the end of the story. But criminals they
will find one way or another to get a gun.
And I heard a commentator who used to come on
your show last night saying that they've even been studies
that show when the more legal guns there are in

(04:31):
a town and a place, the less crime there is.
This poor Soo B had to jump the guy with
his bare hands and he managed to pull the gun
away from him. Imagine if that guy, the shooter, was
a little bit swifter, he could have turned around and
killed that guy who took the gun out of his hand.

(04:52):
That's why I hope now they get rid of Australia's president,
get somebody who's got common sense like Donald Trump. Course,
even though their prime minister is a conservative, the guy's
out of his mind for doing what he did. Any criminal.
I mean, if I wanted to get Doug, please, don't

(05:13):
let me talk if.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I want no, no, no, don't say it, Vincent, don't
say it. You know I mean a good point, though.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know what you mean.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
But Vincent, excellent, We're gonna have more legit people. Mark.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, all right, Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling. Uh
oh when we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us. Hey,
if anybody says to you, well, what's gonna happen next year,
Who's going to win the midterms. It's a totally invalid question.
We'll go into why coming up next on seven to ten,
