Sure. I mean, really? I mean, this is the intro to one of the greatest shows we've ever done. Are you prepared? So, wait, when is this going to happen

because we need to... I know, we have to do this show. Let's just do today's intro for today's podcast, and then we'll do the other one for the good show. Some other time. Here it is. A show that we did on Friday. We cover all of the bases.

War in Russia. Bill O'Reilly, the whole Roe versus Wade thing. I've heard about that, yeah. Yeah. That's been going on too. We talk about all of it and so much more. It's a fun Friday podcast. Here it is.

The best of the Glenn. Jason Betrill on with us. Hello, Jason. Good morning, Glenn. How are you? I'm good. Well, I'm concerned about what's happening in Russia. And I think we learned on this program, who was it, Stu, that we had on, oh, it was Jack Carr?

We had on earlier this week. And he dumped it down for us. He's a fiction writer. And he dumbed down what was going on with the military. in Russia and explained they're out of troops because nobody's having babies because everybody's like 50 years old and a drunk. And I say that half joking. I just saw a report that, what is it?

60% of the men are alcoholics in Russia. Is that possibly true? they're like they're just living on vodka anyway and so that's one of the reasons why they went into Ukraine and one of the reasons why Sweden and Finland are so nervous because they need to annex countries to be able to have youth to be able to fight in their military because it's getting older they're not having children and nobody's in the military is that right Jason Yeah, and there was a lot of talk last week and a couple weeks ago that they were going to continue to expand. Many people in the media were hearing the word transnistra all of a sudden out of nowhere and they were becoming military experts, which I thought was pretty funny.

What is transnista? One of the breakaway regions, you know, similar to the one like Abkhazia over in Georgia. Okay. The ones that, it's one of those, some of those like used to be kind of hot wars but are now cold. Wars where there's just a bunch of Russian troops sitting in other people's countries. It's pretty crazy. But the problem is that Russia doesn't have the troops. They don't have the equipment. There's not an infinite supply of this stuff and they are losing it like, you know, it's a candy and, you know, on a fourth graders, you know, classroom. Because they went through

so many, the loss of troops has been so high. And there's just, they're conscripting people now, but there just isn't enough people to, you know, have a million-man army anymore, right? No. And you're exactly right. And some of the videos that I'm seeing that are coming out of Russia now is, you know, they're transporting by rail across from Siberia, these World War II-era vehicles and sometimes civilian vehicles over into Ukraine because they're losing so many tanks. In fact, just this week, they lost one of their most advanced, very, very proud tank.

I think it's the T-91, I believe is what it is. They're brand new one. They lost one of those in Ukraine, and those are severely limited. So it's hurting. Western supplies are hurting. Did we know this, Jason? Because Jack Carr did. I mean, he's a fiction writer.

He writes about this kind of stuff. He did. He said he finds it inexcusable if we didn't know this. Well, it's interesting. You know, the Russian, the equipment, a lot of people and me included have been telling for a long time that Russia, There's not a global superpower anymore. There are regional power, and they're very limited in what they can do.

Except for nukes. Except for nukes. That's really all they have. All right. And I keep hearing people talk about, you know, this. There was a lot of reporting about the sinking of the Moskva, which is their flagship in the Black Sea, which is very, very significant. Because that was a newer ship, the pride of Russia, right? Yes, it was.

Yeah. And, yeah, so that's a significant loss. but I do think that Russia is going to be limited in how they respond to this. Okay, so wait a minute. I want to get to that here in just a second. But it's important, I think, to set up that Russia is not the superpower that we all grew up thinking they were. They don't have the military. They do have all of the nukes.

But beyond that, they are not a superpower. They are outmatched. by Ukraine and what we're sending, okay? And this is going to be a, a huge humiliating loss like what we just experienced, and we didn't lose, but what we just experienced in Afghanistan, they are being exposed now as a paper tiger.

They just don't have any teeth anymore. And so that makes, if it was Ronald Reagan or even Donald Trump, A, we wouldn't be in this situation, but if we were in this situation and they came into office, I could see somebody like that who understands power through strength, collapse them. Would you agree with that? Expose them, collapse them. We don't have to deal with them anymore. Yeah. I think that, and I think that Washington and the Biden administration completely shifted strategies as well on this. I think that when they saw what they were trying to do, which was take all of Ukraine, and failing so miserably, they were like, let's push further and see how far we can take this. Okay. So now here's the concerning part. Yesterday, we just admitted that, yeah, we targeted the ship. We gave them all the intel. They couldn't have done it without us. Why would we do that? I don't remember, I mean, this is the way it's always been in the Cold War. They were always targeting our troops and helping the other side, et cetera, et cetera.

We knew that, but I don't remember any Soviet leader going, yeah, look at us. Okay, they would go, we don't know you're talking about, but you were like, we got pictures of you. Don't know fake pictures. American press fake pictures. That's the way it used to happen. I don't know of a time that Russia or America has ever said, yeah, yeah, our covert ops, look at this. it's so dangerous right

it's dangerous I don't know if you would call yeah I guess you can call it escalatory it's very very it's different from that part right there is different from the way the Cold War wars were caught in that correct we always had plausible deniability

even if it wasn't plausible to the experts on each side okay we didn't announce it to the world so it is when Russia is saying don't get involved in this war we are already involved in this war. And now, yesterday, for some unknown reason, we just announced it to the press.

Yep, that was us. Okay. Well, hold on. That reason I think is important if we could stop on that for a second. Because the president of the United States has nothing to run on. Nothing. He is, his approval ratings in every category are terrible. The only one that he looks even moderately okay on is his support for Ukraine.

And so I feel like the reason they're promoting this domestically and making a big deal about every little victory they can is to claim credit in the one area that's moderately popular. And that's terrifying. I think that that is probably true coupled with this idea from somebody that we can expose Russia and Russia will look weaker than we looked in Afghanistan. and so the world forgets about Afghanistan and goes, yeah, Russia is nothing. It's tied together, though. Yeah, it is. It's the combination of the two, I think. Now, here's the scary part.

Let me just flip the script here a bit. Let's just say that there was a Soviet pact or a Russian pact, and it included Venezuela and Cuba and other places in South America, which we already know that's what's happening, right? We all know that. And they decided that, or there was talk that they were going to go into Mexico and make Mexico part of that pact. Okay. If that were happening and we had evidence of that, we wouldn't do what Putin did, but if they were putting, let's say, missiles in there or whatever, we would go across. We'd cross into Mexico and stop that.

Okay, it would be in our best interest, I think, to do that. We would at least threaten to do it. We wouldn't have done what Russia did. But if the evidence were there, we would go in to destroy those things that Russia was doing. Okay? I'm just flipping the situation. Now, if our army was so depleted and Russia was strong and they just kept funneling money and they got other people in South America to start helping.

And we had nothing. And we knew that their next thing was to invade us or we strongly suspected. And we had nothing. Wouldn't we launch tactical nukes and wouldn't the country before? Look, before we shut the lights out on this thing, this is the only option we have left. We don't have the troops. We got to get the.

them out of there. Let's scare them away because Russia's not going to launch nukes and destroy America. They want it. So they're not going to launch a full-scale attack. Let's just lob a nuke in and flex our muscle and say, back off. Wouldn't we at least seriously consider that? So, Glenn, you sound exactly like the conversations from I've read from the history books from Khrushchev. Khrushchev was thinking the exact same thing. in the early 1960s. Correct. He was like, I am not sending military equipment into Vietnam because I don't want another Cuban

missile crisis on my hand. I don't want to tempt United States to start doing what you just said sending tackling nuclear bombs, low-yield nuclear weapons. And that all ended once Bresnev came into power in the mid-1960s. All that day, he said, you know what? He said the same thing. He said, the United States is a paper tiger. Our equipment right now is actually more advanced than the United States was, and it was

at the time. We had never, our pilots had never seen Sam missiles before. We had never seen them. The United States lost 2,000 or just over 2,000 military planes, including pilots due to Soviet serviced air missiles. Over 10,000 Soviet troops went to Vietnam and supplied, I can't remember, it was over 2,000 tanks, Klishnikov rifles. Their aid to Vietnam was far more than what we've given Ukraine right now. This is how the Cold War era militaries were fought. And I think this is different than any place else. If we were in Afghanistan, we wouldn't have done tactical nukes if we were losing.

We would just pack up and go, the American people wouldn't hear of it. But because Russia is so ingrained in us and this is a fight for global superpower status, I could see them before they step off the stage and lose. I could see them absolutely going Lob a tactical nuke in. Yeah. And it's part of their doctrine. It's part of their,

and that's one of the things that Jack Carr probably alluded to is we kind of overstated what the Garasimov doctrine was, which was their new military doctrine, which as of now looks like the Garasimov doctrine was, let's just send over some World War II equipment

and let it get blown up in the middle of mud season in Ukraine. It's pretty poor. But the end state of the Garasimov doctrine is escalation. to de-escalate, which means tactical nuclear weapons to scare everybody else off the battlefield

and go, oh, let's hit the peace table and give Russia some concessions. And I have to tell you, if you look at it from their perspective, knowing that they're exposed, they're done. They lose this. They're done. They're exposed. That is,

that's truly terrifying. Because from their perspective, it would kind of make sense. And the other side, if you take Putin out, he doesn't do it. You take Putin out. You have the chance of getting somebody who is an old Soviet kind of mindset that is like, no, you could get somebody who's like, we are rebuilding this superpower. And damn it, I'll use nukes.

Yeah. I mean, you could go either way. It could go either way. It's really dangerous. That's the most likely outcome I see for this, because it's very easy for a group of oligar. and some generals to blame it all on Putin and say, look, it was the crazy guy that everyone knows has brain problems and cancer. Okay.

So let's just get rid of him. Okay. So Jason, give me, Jason, by the way, is our head writer and former military intel guy. And so really watches the state of global politics and war. Give me the top two scenarios that you think are most likely to happen here. Most likely scenario is what I just said. I think that the only way out, I think the Russians need a way out, and I think the only way out is to quietly have Putin go away. That is the most likely, in my opinion, because it gives them an out. It says it gives them someone to blame. And it says, hey, don't get me wrong, this is not going to get better. We're not suddenly going to get a Russian leader that all of a sudden agrees with the West. We are, we're adversaries. And Russia and the Western Europe will always be. adversaries. But this will ratchet it down, at least for a time being? Exactly. This will give them an excuse for them to be able to pull back and say,

and kind of blame everything on him. Okay. Which I know he would love, which makes him more dangerous, I think. The other scenario? Another scenario is, well, let me give you three. So another scenario would be them settling basically with Eastern Ukraine and drawing this out to a stalemate. I don't think that's going to happen. Yeah, basically what it was since 2014, Eastern Ukraine, they'll stick with that. Next. Third is probably the more scary.

And that is this escalates to where every Russian generals in agreement. And they think the only way out is to escalate to de-escalate. So doesn't this make this other piece of the news that came out yesterday was Sweden and Finland said, we have a guarantee from America that if we ask, we're going to be a part of NATO. That's what started all of this was just the idea that NATO was going to be expanded into Ukraine, which there was no truth to that at all. Finland is extraordinarily important to Russia. That's a major escalation, is it not? Yes, and the Finns have a very proud history of kicking the Soviet Union and Russia's butt all in their own.

I don't really think they need NATO help on this. Yeah, I see this as more worrying than anything else because, as you said, this is exactly what they said they were trying to stop. And this gives Putin credibility saying, see, I told you. Exactly. Of course, the reason why they're just trying to jump into NATO now is because Russia decided to invade Ukraine. I mean, like, they weren't planning on doing this until Russia invaded Ukraine. And then they were like, wait a minute, we better freaking figure out away. But you don't announce it.

you just don't announce it you just said one day say by the way we're in NATO no you say if this thing escalates right now it could Peter out but especially three days before victory day in Russia where Putin's got to beat his chest about the strong rush you don't escalate it

it's terrifying it's truly terrifying luckily we have real experts at the helm oh my gosh they can walk this line Real grownups. Real grownups. Jason, thank you so much. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're so glad you tuned in today. Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed. Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn. Well, I got a press release from the Babylon B that I think is important. In a somber press release outside the burning gates of torment and suffering, the fire god Molok warned of a looming supply chain. chain issue regarding child sacrifices. Molach added that human sacrifices, purifications, ordeals

by fire, mutilations, etc. would have to cease until the supply chain shortage was sorted out through democratically violent means. My Demon Logistics Department is reporting a supply chain shortage of children to sacrifice upon burning aisles and fiery pits, said the god of brazen gratification and hedonism. The scarcity of innocent young lives to be brutally murdered at my feat is mostly due to the Supreme Court's upcoming reversal of Roe versus Wade, led by white supremacist Clarence Thomas. An uncomfortably large percentage of the U.S. population cried out in fear and terror at the prospects of not being able to sacrifice children of a loving heavenly father for their own selfish desires. Eyes rolled back in their sockets, blood-curdling

screams, pierced the air in the name of egonautical convenience. What about my career as a corporate drone who loves binge drinking on the weekends, cried one woman at the steps of the Supreme Court building while holding a protest sign reading my body, my choice, my vanity, my career, my parties, my barren, loveless life. At publishing time, Moloch was considering the allowance of back alley child sacrifices using common household objects and horse medication. Babylon B is so brilliant. They are.

They really are. Never cease to amaze. Of course, why. Why they're not allowed to be on social media anymore. Right. Right. They're not allowed to. That's not okay.

You can't be funny. No, you can't. On the right. No. It's not allowed. By the way, let's go back. Could we go back to the stat of alcoholism? Because I have a theory on this because Stu, while in the last break, we were talking about Russians

and the alcoholism rate, which is really, really high. and what was the stat that you found? Russia's number one for male alcoholics. Okay. 36.9% of their males tied. Of Russian males? 40%. Are alcoholics?

That's crazy, right? Wow. Crazy. No, that's tied with Hungary at number one. But same kind of thing. So what is... Number two is Belarus, by the way. So it's also a Soviet state.

Yeah. So let me just throw out a thing. theory here on this. Well, no, give the other stat. Okay, because we're a Russian women. So women, Russia is not number one. They are number two, at 7.4%.

Those number one. The United States of America. We got it. Yeah. Yeah. We got the girls. Women alcoholics. We're number one. So we are number one with women as alcoholics. Okay. And what is that number? Is it close?

10.4%. Holy cow. So to see how much of an outlier, almost every country on earth is below 5%. There's a few, like Russia and, you know, Hungary again and, you know, Belarus again are all in this like 6 to 7% range and then we're way up at 10. We're total. What's a percentage for men in America? That's a good question. Male alcoholics.

A moment. United States, here we go. 17.6. Oh, my gosh. So about half of Russia. And not nowhere. We're right. in the pack. I mean, we're a little higher than

average, but, uh, you know, right. We're, we're not an outlier like we are with women. So let me ask you this. Is it possible? Is it possible? Is this a, a theory worth looking into that in Russia, what have you done to men? You've taken the natural hunter gatherer. I can find my own way. I can build my own business, be my own man. And you, You've killed that and you've, so you only have the men who are subservient to the society or the ones who have said, I'm breaking out and their thug, you know, killers or or thieves, oligarchs, right?

So there's only one, two versions of a man. Just do what the state says or be a thug. How many men want to live in that world? They've taken and taken away the real man and replaced it with the cartoon man or the, you know, the one that just has to go along with everything. In America, we are suppressing the actual and denigrating the natural woman. You know, you can have a job, do whatever you want, but the natural woman, we are, we are mocking everything that they are. That they are different than men, that this maternal instinct, that you can be a mom. Is that possible that the reason why Russia is number one is because they've killed the man and America is number one because we're killing the woman?

it's possible yeah it's an interesting theory it's a it could be contributing factor i mean is it a sound theory i don't i mean i don't know you just presented it i don't i don't have any evidence to back it up no no i know i'm saying is it a sound is it a sound idea that might be backed up yeah i mean i come up with some questions i mean like we you know european women seem to be lower on this list than than i think we've led the world on this though you know women need a need a man like fish need a bicycle. You know what I mean? We've led the way of this,

this feminist, uh, Marxist, uh, you know, woman. They've done a, they've done a job on men too in this country.

Yeah, I know. Well, I know, but we're, we're behind. Yeah. We're behind. Soviets have been doing it forever.

Yeah. Uh, and then the Russians, when they took over, you know, they didn't go to capital. It went to, you know, a mobocracy. And so, you know, we're just, I'm telling you, religion is the way to go to fix all of this.

Now, some might say this would be the time that you would want to be a blaze subscriber and be watching the show instead of just listening to the show. But I have no idea what they're talking about. about. I think we can, I think we all know how to solve the women's issue. We've heard a lot about it this week. Yeah, that's true. We sure have. Under his eye. Under his eye. Okay. So, Pat, welcome to the program. What's the big story for you? Well, it's the same one. It's been all week. Yeah. You know, the response, of course, to the supposed Supreme Court decision. And, uh, and, uh, it's the same one. It's been all week. Yeah. Um, uh, you know, the, the response, the response, of course, the reaction of people like Hillary Clinton to it, because she's terrific.

She is great. And I think she's so sensible. I hope Nica is right because she said this might get her to run again. No, God. But who else do they have? Who else? Nobody. Did you hear that Kamala would not join Joe Biden for a press conference because

she wants to distance herself from his administration? No. That's great. When Kamala's like, no, I don't want that stink on me. That's saying something. Yeah, it is. And that's who they have, right? That is who they have.

They have the president of the United States. Terrible. And they can't run him. They cannot run him in 2024. It's impossible. He wants to run, though. Of course he wants to. I hope he does.

They can't let him. They can't have Kamala. They can't. She's too unpopular. She was unpopular with the Democrats. She was the least popular of all the candidates. She was out before the... Wasn't she out before the primary started?

Yeah, oh yeah. She was out before the primary. She had a, you know, a run to the top of the polls toward the beginning and then that faded and then she was gone instantly. So I have to tell you something that is just so, oh, so satisfying. The Women's Health Protection Act, which was been going through the Senate and everything else, and it would make abortion a statutory right. They were passing this through.

And it talked about transgender men, a capacity for pregnancy with transgender men, non-binary individuals and those who identify a different gender and others. So our good friend Chuck Schumer is removing all of that language now. That's funny. And he said, they're just marginal changes, you know, just to be more inclusive. I thought by putting transgender non-binary individuals, that was being more inclusive. Right.

They have to throw the trans people under the bus now because they're worshiping at the altar of abortion. And that's paramount to them. It's even a little bit more important to them than the trans movement. Yeah. And it's the one they think they could take advantage of at this moment, which is how they make every decision. You know, it doesn't matter.

There's never an attempt. to maintain logical consistency. It's not a priority in any way. It's just whatever they need to say today. That's why Gavin Newsom is getting in trouble. Because he said, well, you know, if men could get pregnant, then they'd understand. And everyone's losing their mind.

The trans people are losing their mind on them. And they have to understand, they don't care about you. They don't care about you at all. They've never cared about you. Why did you believe them? By the way, my favorite from the week on this discussion are the videos of panic. women. My favorite said this.

In case you're a man who doesn't care about Roe versus Wade, just know that if abortion gets banned, the hookup culture will be decimated. What woman is going to have mediocre sex with a drunk, random man if he could potentially

father their child? Yeah, amen. This is something that we should be like, oh, wait a minute. The hookup culture. Oh, wow, we can't lose that. Yeah. Let's keep killing babies. That's part of the problem. problem.

That's one of the things that maybe is destroying us as a society and a culture is just like, I want to have sex with anybody right now. Let me get on the app and see who's closest to me. That really is the way it works right now. Did you guys see the sex island thing going on? No. Now, I thought he was dead. No, no, that's a different island.

There's more than one. Now there's an event going on and I believe it started. So if you want to go, you'd have to, you might be a little late. But it is called Sex Island. It costs $4,500 to attend. And you can go to this and have sex with as many women as you'd like. There's a hundred, they guarantee at least two per day. And you have 100 women there and they will have said they're, I guess.

I bet they are good looking. Do you get to see them first? Yeah. And I bet the guys, I bet the guys that are going. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. This might be an island if we should support abortion. That's kind of, I think these types of things could be problematic in a post-Roe versus Wade.

Oh, that would be sad. Though I believe Nevada will keep abortion. I'm mildly confident of it. By the way, CNN chairman, the new chairman says he wants to try some things in Chris Cuomo's old slot. He said, we're just going to mix it up. We're going to try some new things. telling the truth, accurately reporting things might be something they should try, but I...

No. Not on the idea board. I doubt it. It's not on the vision board right now. So do you remember, Stu, you said MSNBC could be replaced by a random word generator? You remember saying that? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. It was last week. Early on this week. Yeah. This week. We have done a test. Okay. There is smart copy.

The AI writer. Do you know about this? Okay, so there is smart copy, which if you don't, if you can't write, you don't write, you just put in the thing and it will randomly generate a story for you. Okay. Like through artificial intelligence. Yes. So what we started with, we said, Republicans are a threat to democracy. If Ron DeSantis is elected, he's going to be much worse than Trump.

Republicans live in fear, threaten the rights of LGBTQ and are racist. So we put that into, let's be fed the generator. Okay. Okay. Tell me this doesn't sound like a legitimate MSNBC story. Democracy has been under attack from Trump and the GOP since the moment he was elected. Ron DeSantis, who is a guest on Fox and Friends this morning, stands in line with everything we've seen out of Trump. But he'll be worse if he wins. Democracy is under attack. We have to stand up now.

This is not normal. We can't keep going down this road and we can't forget what they stand for. Republicans live in fear and threaten the rights of LGBT people, people of color, and of course, our civil rights. They're racist, sexist, homophobic, and everything we must fight against. At the state level, GOP governors have been enacting voter suppression laws to keep minorities from voting, and Republicans in Congress have been putting a stop to any checks on Trump's power. This is not normal. We have to do something about it. That can absolutely be on MSNBC right now in the prompter.

That was AI generated. Wow. If they just threw a handmade's tail reference in there, then it would be complete. You have to throw that in there. That's not a conspiracy theory. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I've been waiting to talk to you, Sheriff. I have been waiting a while.

Sheriff Bob Johnson is on with us now from Santa Rosa County, Florida. Sheriff, how are you, sir? Hey, I'm doing good. How are you? I'm very good. I have to tell you, I don't know what the average person thinks, you know, especially in in blue states. But when I hear, quote, if someone's breaking into your house, you're more than welcome to shoot them in our county.

We prefer you do, actually. Or we're hoping this will be the third strike and he'll go to prison and not get out because we're tired of dealing with him trying to, you know, But to be honest with you, if somebody breaks into your house, you can shoot and kill them. The chances of them reoffending then are zero. And we like those odds. Holy cow, Sheriff. Nobody, a lot of people think that.

Nobody says that. Well, and I can tell you what they say in blue states, because I've gotten about 300 death threats since then. And which is kind of amazing, all these people who hate violence and don't want criminals to be shot, but yet they want to come here and kill me. That's kind of an offy moron, don't you think? Wow, you've gotten a lot of death threats? Yeah, but it's all from states where you can't buy a gun anyway, so I really don't care. It is what it is. Have you always been this way, or has our society pushed you further in this direction?

No, I got elected in 2016, and, you know, my citizens will tell you, my press conferences can be pretty entertaining sometimes. Yeah, I bet. And because I speak my mind. And, you know, like you said earlier, it's common sense. Somebody's breaking in your house. They're not bringing your cookies or going to give you a hug. They're coming in there to break more laws, i.e. murder, rape, or whatever. And, you know, in Santa Rosa County, a lot of our citizens have guns.

And I promote the use of them. If somebody breaks in their house, like I said, in the press conference, shoot them. Go on there, do the paperwork and get it over with. It's not as though, you know, I mean, if somebody breaks in, to my house. As far as I'm concerned, you know, you're on my territory. You start to threaten my children. I don't know what you're doing in the house. I warn you. And if you keep coming towards us, I will find you and I will shoot you because I don't know what your intent is. I have absolutely no problem with that. However, I'm not for shooting people. There's a real difference here. And people

don't understand that. Yeah, there's a big difference. I'm not advocating people go out on the sidewalk and find people they don't like and shoot them. I mean, obviously, that's against the law. But when you're in your home and somebody kicks your door in and then comes in your home, yeah, you shoot them. I tell you what, they do that.

My house are going to end in a long, dark tunnel with the light at the end of it with Elvis and Grandma because I'm going to shoot them multiple times. So have you found the person as the citizen that shot this? criminal and wounded him. No, no, they missed. They missed. Oh, they missed? Yeah. Yeah, that's why I said that press conference, you know, come take our class. We'll make it more accurate next time you'll hit him.

So how did you know that someone shot but didn't know who it was? Did the criminals say? Yeah, no, no. What happened was we had about 20 deputies out there and they were on a perimeter and they were closing the perimeter in as we got reports of where he was at. And then one of the officers on the perimeter said shots fired, multiple shots fired. And none of our deputy shot. So obviously it was a homeowner. And shortly after the gunshots, we saw him going over a privacy fence into the next yard where he kicked in another door.

And that's where we cornered him in a bedroom. And then he jumped out the window and they caught him in the backyard. And so this community member who had the burglar in his house and shot and missed didn't want to identify himself. and you think it was for fear of he thought he was going to get in trouble? Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm assuming that because they didn't come forward. I'll tell you right now, obviously, you know, as I said in a press conference, you know, you're not in any trouble.

I mean, you're more than welcome to protect yourself and your family and your own home. That's just common sense. So that's got to be wildly different because I know when I lived in Connecticut and I went through gun safety classes, you know, you call 911 and you put the phone down and you make sure you're announcing you're afraid for your life, yada, yada, because you'll be in court for a year if you shoot somebody. Not that way in your county? No, not that way in my state.

You know, we have a great governor who supports law enforcement, and, you know, we, as long as you're legally allowed to possess a gun, you know, and you're in your own home, you don't have a duty to retreat. Somebody kicks in your door, you know, and they're coming at you. you can shoot and kill them and you are perfectly within your rights to do so by Florida law. I have to tell you this, because I talk to sheriffs here in Texas, and we have, most of them are just like you. I mean, the big cities now, they're just, they're becoming crazy. But they're just like you.

And this spirit used to exist everywhere in America. And it's remarkable to me that you stand out in a country full of sheriffs, which are, you are our last defense when it comes to our rights. Yeah, yeah, definitely. You know, constitutional officers, you know, our fundamental responsibility is a protection of our citizens. Everything else is second. So, and when you have somebody kicking your door,

and we have a great response time here in Santa Rosa County, we really do. For a hot call, what we call, some burglarying progress or whatever, it's three to five minutes. And that's pretty quick if you look at the national average. Yeah. But what can happen in three to five minutes? A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. That's why we have our homeowners. We tell them, please arm yourselves, come take our safety class, make sure you're safe with

the weapon and know how to store it, keep it away from kids, but when you need it, you can access it and take care of business. It's remarkable to me. Most people don't know. The term first responder began in the in the sorry, Carter years under the Carter administration.

And it was intentionally put there to make sure that people didn't feel like they were the first responder. But we are. We call you for backup. You know what I mean?

Not to cower in our house. Right. Right. And like I said, three to five minutes, you say great response time. But in three to five minutes,

if you come in a home and you have a weapon, I mean, you can kill five, six, seven people in that time frame before we get there. Well, only if you have a weapon of war that has more than one shot. And I'm just saying. Yeah, it's amazing too. That's another thing on gun control. So they think that's the only law criminals will abide by if we say you can't have guns.

No, they'll abide by that one. Yeah. No, you know, it makes me nervous what we're doing with ammunition. The Biden administration, separate. And apart from the boycott that we have on Russia with oil, this is separate and part. This started before it. We've banned all Russian ammunition in America, which is the number one kind of ammunition for going out at a shooting range.

And 40% of all of our ammunition comes from Russia. He's banned it for separate reasons. And that scares me because if... you do have a gun, you should be practicing. You should be shooting it. You don't want to pick it up and not feel comfortable with it in your hand. Well, Glenn, you better calm down. Now you're making sense. You don't know about that Democrat's calling you with that threats. So. It's incredible. Yeah, no, I agree 100%. You know, you need to practice with them. And that's why we put on this class. It was every other Saturday. Now we're doing it. We've had such a demand. We're doing it

every Saturday now for our citizens. It's free of charge, and we're going to try to get as many of them spun up on how to handle a weapon as we can so they can protect themselves. And we're proud of that fact. In Santa Rosa County, what cities are in your county that we might know? Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton. We're right in between Pensacola and Destin on the Gulf Coast. Okay. Yeah, you're in the same part of Florida.

Yeah, we call it God's country. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. Yeah. All right. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it, Sheriff. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for having me. You better. Bye-bye. That is Sheriff Bob Johnson from Florida. Please find out who your sheriff is. You know, when you go to vote and just says, sheriff, for my whole life, I was like, I don't know. It matters. These are the guys.

They are constitutionally elected. They don't report. to anyone but the voters, according to the Constitution. And so when there is a real problem, it will be the sheriff that will rule over your county that will either keep you free and safe or not. I have a sheriff in my county, and I've said to him, what happens if they ban guns? They come for guns. You know, I don't think that's going to happen.

but then again, I didn't think Roe versus Wade would ever be even argued, let alone repealed. And he said, well, that's when I deputize every single citizen in the county and you better have a gun. That's the kind of sheriff that you need, one that knows the Constitution and knows their role as a sheriff.
