Six minutes after 8 o'clock rolling into the third hour of daybreak here on 92.5 Fox News. And as we sit here, we're getting ready to talk to wink news security analyst Rich Coco, a good friend of ours here on the show. We're going to talk about a few different topics going on from an FBI's point of view. But the thing I want to point out is that the Guthrie family is the first topic. And listen to what... The Guthrie family is offering now for any information leading to the location of their mom. We are offering a family reward of up to $1 million. for any information that leads us to her recovery. I didn't like the words up to. I always feel like that. What happens anytime I get a discount somewhere, you know, up to 50% off and I get there and it's 8% for what I want, but everyone else. So just put the money out. You know you want your mom back and you know you want to find out what happened to your mom. Put all the money out there, not up to. But what does this mean for the investigation? Where is the investigation going next? And is there... Is this going to fade off into the sunset where we won't see a solution at all? But Rich Colco joins us. Wink News security analyst, former FBI agent, a veteran, so many things that this guy has been a part of. Rich, good morning. And let's start with the Nancy Guthr case. She's been missing 24 days now. There's now a $1 million reward. Are there any other avenues that the investigators are following that we could have some kind of... break in this case? There sure is, Jason. A lot of news, actually, in the last couple days on the case, which I think may be helpful. They threw out that million-dollar reward yesterday. Don't worry about the up-2 million-dollar rewards. That just means if more than one person calls it and they end up splitting it is the kind of thing. Okay. If they get the, she will give the million dollars. It just might be more than one person. Hopefully it'll be more. Hopefully it should give that money, actually. Right. Let's put it that way, that she gets the answer that they need.
But so as of last night, the FBI had received, I think, almost another thousand tips based on that announcement by Savannah that there was the million dollar reward. So hopefully some of those are fruitful. When you put out that kind of money, you also get some of the nutcases as well. So some of those leads are, you know, are probably not as valid. But everyone will be followed up. That's just the way the investigators do it. But I think the news that was important this week was. where they said the pictures we saw, the person may have been there another night. So if you put yourself as an investigator, Nancy Guthrone missing the morning of February 1st, the night of January 31st, and then we saw those pictures. So investigators would have gone out and said, did you see this person on, you know, this night on January 31st or a car or anything like that? Now there's another night. So that kind of doubles the amount of questions I can ask, doubles the opportunity that they might be able to find. a witness or a cell phone that hit on a tower or another ring camera that hit. So that's actually good news that may have been another nicer person was there. Right. So if he was at Nancy Guthrie's house before the actual abduction, and that's what they're saying, the video of him not wearing a backpack, those pictures are from before he was there, right? Mm-hmm. So with that being said, somebody's cell phone would have to a ping twice unless he didn't bring it, right? Yeah, but it's awful tough these days to go anywhere without leaving some sort of digital footprint, whether it's a cell phone, a watch, a license plate reader, a video camera somewhere, a stopping for gas at a convenience store. I mean, just as far as being an investigator, it gives you a little wider latitude to ask some questions. I think it's helpful. This mother-grandmother was taken from her own bed. What message does that send to law enforcement to bring her home quickly? I mean, like, she's... a very elderly woman, a lot of health issues. Are we, what can families do here in Southwest Florida to protect their loved ones? You know, as soon as I saw this, I called my dad and asked him if he had the service, right? Do you have the service? Do you have the service to record everybody that walks up to your door? And he's like, no, I was like, it's $8. Do you need me to pay for it? I'll pay for it. What are some other steps, Rich, that families can do to protect their loved ones in their elderly parents, maybe? That's a great question, and I think the first one you said was right. I saw an interview with a security person in the Tucson area, and they said their phone was slammed with people wanting to upgrade or install some sort of security system. So that's already had a positive effect. There's simple little things that people can do that there shouldn't be anybody knocking at your door at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning that you don't expect. And, you know, maybe the 84-year-old is too trusting. Maybe they, you know, potentially knew the person. I mean, there's a variety of things. So, you know, don't do that. If that happens, make a phone call, call somebody else in your family. Hey, there's somebody knocking on my door. Don't hesitate to call the police. They don't mind. They're happy to do that. One thing I love doing is I tell people to put your car keys on your nightstand. And if something like that happens, hit that red button on your car keys and the alarm starts going off. And that will typically scare somebody away. So have that noise maker available outside, even if your car's in the garage, something as simple as that. And, of course, having a panic button and an alarm system where you can hit the alert button. There are definitely several things that anybody can do. Fortunately, this is very atypical, it doesn't happen often at worst, a couple hundred times in the entire country yearly. So I don't want to scare people to death, but that doesn't mean don't take the precautions that you can and should take.
If you're just tuning in right now, we're on the phone with Rich Colco. He's Wink News security analyst, former FBI agent, on the phone with us talking about a lot of things. Let's go international. Let's talk about El Muncho, the head of the Holisco New Generation Cartel, was killed in a process to try and apprehend him. Walk us through this operation, how it unfolded, and give us the latest in what's going on. Well, I think one of the big things here is that the president said that the U.S. was helping provide intelligence. We've heard the president say that cartels has become a very high target of interest for him and for the United States. So sharing some of this information and intelligence with Mexican authorities in real time, I think helped lead to capturing El Mancho. He was shot and then en route in the helicopter to a hospital. He died. which lit off a series of violence throughout portions of, actually major parts of the country of Mexico. A lot of that was internal fighting between the cartels who are fighting to take power, but also some pushback against Mexican authorities. But I think the big news here is... Well, first of all, it's calming down, so that's good news. So I think people are going to start to get out of Mexico today. I'll tell you about somebody I spoke with in a moment. But typically, the resort areas have been off limits, even for the cartels. They've left the resorts alone. And a lot of that is because even they've got family that worked there. They know that's a huge source of income for... the country, and they've been off limits. But this last week, we saw violence in the communities that Americans very often go vacationism. And that's a problem. And I'm going to have to recover from that. I was speaking to Southwest Florida was affected because we had lots of people from here that were in Mexico. I spoke to somebody from Cape Coral over the last couple days. And the first couple days were very difficult. But last night I spoke to him and he said it was or texted with him. I'm sorry, didn't speak to him, but texted with him. And things were getting better last night. They were able to finally get out of the hotel and get some food. I mean, the hotel had run enough food. It had gotten that serious. So when it comes to this entire operation, there are rumors that America was involved. Now, Trump hasn't confirmed or denied that, actually. He said he would help them if they asked for help. Have you heard anything about America's military being involved at all? I don't think America's military was involved in the actual operation, but we have, I think, recently sent American troops into Mexico to provide training to Mexican police and military. I heard there were some special forces that were providing assistance on the ground, but not necessarily involved in the operational. operations rich a couple of weeks ago we saw a sudden shutdown of el paso airspace and some reports suggested it was tied to cartel drones or u.s drones or testing of drones do you think this airspace closure had anything to do with the operation that eventually got el
I don't. I think it was a new weapon, a laser weapon that the U.S. wanted to test, and I think there was a breakdown in communications between FAA and DOD as far as the testing that was going to take place in that part of the country. I didn't realize this. I did do a little homework and read up on it. I didn't realize how many drone incursions there were from Mexico into the United States Airspace. So the United States is looking for a way to stop those drones. They already do it certain ways, but they're trying some new ways. And that wasn't communicated to the FAA, and that had some effect on civilian traffic, and the FAA quickly shut down the airport. But as you saw, they started communicating right away. And within a few hours, I got the airport back open instead of what they had said was 10-day shutdown, which would have been crazy. Rich, one last question before I let you go. Let's go a little light here. FBI director Kash Patel was seen drinking beers and celebrating with the USA Olympic hockey gold medal team. As a former FBI agent, what's your honest reaction the moment you saw that? I didn't think it was the best look for the FBI. When I did my 22 years there, there's a old saying which says, never embarrass the FBI. And I don't think that was a great look for the agency. That's my personal opinion. You know me, I stay out of the politics. Right, Rich. I just wanted to see what your opinion was as an FBI agent because it brings rate insight. When you say back when you were an agent, there was a way that was unacceptable, that would never be. And there's a lot of things that have kind of evolved with the way they're processed and the way they're done. So I think your opinion was valid. And I thank you for calling in and giving it to me, man. I really do. Well, yeah, but last thing, Mr. Kash Patel, Director Kash Patel, is a big hockey fan. He actually, I think, plays on the – Right. The FBI has a hockey team. I think he actually plays on the hockey team. So I understand he's a big fan, but wearing a tie and doing some handshakes with the team and maybe taking the team picture might have been a better look. And on an FBI alumni page I'm on, it's pretty obvious. So FBI has their own hockey team. They do, and they play, and Secret Service has their hockey team, and ATF has a hockey team all in D.C. And they play games every year, and it's usually a great fundraiser for various causes. The capitals let them use their ice. Oh, I can't wait. I can't wait. I got to find out about this one. You just gave me some breaking news right here. I love this. Thank you very much for that, Rich. I got to find out more information about that. Please do. I'll send you something on the next game. I will. Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. Rich Kelko, Wink News, security analysts. Thank you, Rich, for being on the show. It's always a pleasure, buddy. Of course. Have a good day. There we go. I got one more topic to cover before I jump into the 8th that I really want to get into because it's something that came up yesterday on the show. And it's about what we're paying the people of the elected offices. Let's just go politicians in general, what they're making and is it justified? A conversation we will have next right here on 925 Fox News. At 925 Fox News, we talk a lot about what's happening in the world.
But right now I want to talk about what's happening right here at home. Too many families across Southwest Florida are struggling with something basic, food on the table. That's why Wink Feeds Families is asking our community to march to a million meals, helping provide one million meals by March 1st. It's not about politics. This is about people. Neighbors. Give Meals at winkfeedsfamilies.com. 92-5 held a diversity and inclusion seminar once. It just turned into a hog roast and discussion about ammo grain. Hey, we tried. Eh, not really. 92-5, Fox News. Right, all along. Roll with me right now, South West Florida. Good morning. Welcome back to daybreak. We're going to talk yesterday. having a conversation with the Attorney General James Uthmeier. And one of the questions I asked him was the question a lot of media has been trying to get out of them. Do you, what would you say to people that say you don't need a second job as Attorney General as he has taken a job with the University of Florida, his alma mater, to go there and teach a couple of days a week and they're paying him some money. And he enjoys it. He loves it. He enjoys the reach out and being able to have that conversation. And when I thought about it, I was immediate, like, ready to be on the same side. Everybody like, you don't need a second job. But he makes $140,000 a year as the Florida Attorney General. Now, here's the crazy thing. A state prosecutor who works under the Attorney General, right? Am I right or wrong on this, Rob? I'm right on the chain of command, right? State of attorney makes 180 to 200,000. So they make more than their boss than the person who actually does all the work. Like he's out there working at 24-7. Look, your attorney general, especially James Uthmeier, is very active. He does this thing. Now, let's compare that to everyone else, shall we? I mean, it's not bad money. It's not bad money unless you're the city manager of... One of the cities in the area or one of the city, because the city managers and county managers of the area make a ton of money. How about this? $320, I'm sorry, $314,000 for being a city manager of Cape. but one half of that to be the Florida Attorney General. We should be really thankful that James Uthmeier wants to be the Attorney General. Understand that he is so good at being an attorney, in my honest opinion, that he could go in the private sector and crack out 200 easy. He would get a raise instantly as soon as he went into the private sector. But that's not why he does it. And you can hear him answer the question if you download the podcast, which is available in your podcast app.
But there's so many others. Let's just compare a couple of different others. How about the Tampa mayor, $200,000? How about Rick Scott makes $174,000? Florida Supreme Court Justice, $264,000. A Miami-Dade County mayor, a quarter of a million. The Lee County manager, $286,000. Here's the really creeper. The Lee County Supervisor of Elections makes $172,000 a year to work every two years. What a great job, right? That's probably why Cecil Pendergrass wants it. Or the fact that he makes somewhere between 92 and 99,000 as the Lee County Commissioner. What a huge raise that is. I would want that job, too. Double my salary. They can get me to do any job in this building if they doubled my salary. There would be no job that I would say no to in this building if they doubled my salary. Maybe one. But there's no job I would say no to. I'm telling you now. That's the truth. So I get why Cecil wants to do the job. He's like, yeah, I'm done being a county commissioner. I'll take that job. Make me the guy. Make me the guy. I mean, think of the instant pay raise. And you know what I'm going to say? If you get appointed, you shouldn't get that money. You should get some kind of other money until you actually get elected. I'm just kidding. I know that's not right. You do the job. You get paid. But I will say that that's a lot of money. And I think that we should lower that tremendously. And whoever worked that out to give. Tommy Doyle, a big fat raise because that went up in Tommy Doyle's ears. Because I remember it used to be like a $115,000 a year job. I looked into it. I know. I used to laugh at the fact that the city mayors are making like $25,000, $30,000 a year. They don't make anything. They don't make anything. But your city manager. Be making a loot your county managers. I mean, even the Fort Myers city manager makes a ton of money. This is a regular thing. It's what they do. So when I saw this, I was like, man, we should research into this. You want to talk about really kicking into the budget. You really want to talk about cracking down on some things. You know why some lawmakers don't care about how you're struggling because you don't make $174,000 a year and they do. They don't feel the struggle like you feel the struggle. They don't feel the struggle like we feel the struggle. You know, I talk about it all the time, you know, that I work and I do different things and I'm a busy man. But let me just let you know that no matter how much I work, there is still a constant need to try to save money in case stuff happens. Trying to make sure, in case you're like water heater goes out. You want to be able to have three grand ready to go. So you don't have to figure out a way to get it financed. And that's a constant struggle for everybody out there to get it done. But I'm able to save more money now than ever before. But if I'm the Blaze in Goglia and I find out that the Lee County Supervisor of Elections makes $172,000 a year and the Attorney General of Florida makes $140,000 a year, I find that a problem. I find that is a big problem.
And I think it's grossly overpaid to be the supervisor of elections. Grossly. I don't understand why Tommy would have resigned. It must have been a big deal for him to resign. I would have rolled that out for as long as they'd let me have the job. Crazy. But I don't know if you're aware of it. Now you know. City attorney, 350K for the Cape 2. That's a lot of money. Right. If he was the city attorney, he'd make $350K, but he's the attorney general, so he makes $140K. Thanks, Jake, for that little message. I appreciate it. Solid. The 5 at 835 is coming up next on Daybreak on 925 Fox News. 92.5 Fox News. Right. All along. Hey, is that smoke? Oh, it's just us lighting liberal talking points on fire. All good. We are Southwest Florida's 92-5 Fox News. Right. All along. Welcome back. Daybreak, 95 Fox News is 36 minutes after 8 o'clock. The 5 at 835 is presented by Resney Wealth Management, creating financial independence for over 30 years online at resneywealth.com. Five, three, two, one. Number five. We'll balance our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption, and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates. Right. Jobs, all these things that allow this to go down. I stand with him, right? Listen, you have all the Somalian fraud, and we better not forget about the fraud going in Minnesota because everything else that's going on, right? And then they're eating dogs and cats. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just pulling a leg there. I wanted to go and let you know that this is unacceptable, that this is continually going on, and we have not completely figured out a way to deal with the criminals that are being. inside Minnesota. By the way, when's the last time you heard from walls? Wow. Been a while. Been ghosted into the abyss, if you will, crazy to think about. But the Somalians in Minnesota, we got to do something about that. Number four. And I'll just end with this. I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald Trump, talk about the state of the union. But this is the people's house. And I will not abandon the people's house.
Hold on real quick. I'm at Williams and Sonoba. I'm buying forks. Can you give me a representative or Democrat, Angie Craig's address? I want to make sure I send her this box of corks. Really good ones, too. Williams and Sonoma. No cheap ones from Walmart. I'm going to send her high quality Republican-style forks, all right? That's what we're going to send her. Now, these 50-cent forks, we're going to send her a quality golden fork. Because if you're going to do it, Angie, do it with a golden fork. Get out of here with that. You went there to... sit on your ass and not have any kind of reaction. Nobody wanted to see you there in the first place. You at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could have both kicked rocks and not been there. There was nobody there that wanted to see any one of the Democrats, except for the 70 Democrats that didn't come because they want to know who's not on their side. Right. By the way, the other ones that weren't there that didn't boycott it, you're going to need a friend soon, so be careful who you talk trash about. You're going to be all by yourself because the socialists are taking you over, right? So Democrats, don't forget that. You're going to need a friend soon because your party is going to be non-existent. Number three. Well, tonight's going to be fun. We're here waiting for the State of the Union. Kevin O'Leary is my guest. We hope the President talks about small businesses, something both of us care about. So I'm happy you're here. Are you looking forward to tonight? First, I'm honored for the invitation. I've always thought the State of the Union kind of sets up policy for the next 12 months, very important period, going to the midterms. But we're both small business guys. We're trying to make sure that we focus on what really matters in America, the American dream. And we're going to hear a lot of that tonight. I'll be listening. So that's Rick Scott taking his guest, Kevin O'Leary, into the State of the Union. You know, I'm going to say something that's not very popular. I don't 100% believe that small businesses is on the backup. As an owner of a small business, we have had our ups and downs over the past year. There have been some great months, but there have been some months that were great that were slow this year. So it's still, what I would say, volatile. inside the small business world. There are tariffs out there, and those tariffs kind of hurt the small business. They might help the consumer, but they do hurt the small business. Now, when it comes to the economy, places like the SBA will tell you that small business, 57% think it's not quite there yet. I'll say that I can feel the uptick. I'm slammed every weekend, so the uptick is coming. I think people want immediate results when they come to this. People like, you know, we're an on-demand society, right? You can go on and watch any show you want right now. Boom. You missed our show? Don't worry. You can listen to it right now. Boom. Like everything is on demand. We're an on demand type of society. So when people want to kind of, they think president became the president and he can just press play now and the economy gets better instantly. It's a process. It's working. I believe it to be working. So I think we're doing it correctly. And let's not forget that. But as a small business owner and pretty much you've heard me say it, not a big fan of tariffs in general. I'm just.
Not. I feel like it hurts that person that's just trying to buy something simple. And next thing you know, what cost him eight bucks last time is now $24. And it happens, all because of a tariff. Number two. Why would anybody not one voter ID? One reason, because they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say, what imagination they have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it, John. Wow. There you go. All right. We got to stop it. They want to cheat. That's what voter ID is, right? It is a, it's something that we need in life. We've already gone down why it's important. But I'm going to reiterate what I said before. There's so many things in life you can't do without an ID. And you know what? Democrats can't register their vote against the SAV Act without a ID. You need an ID. We got to replace that. We do need an ID.
Let's go 16. So as we wrap up the show here today, I did want to go ahead and give you what I believe to be the grand poohpah of clips today. And I want to just say that this is it right here. This is the final clip. This is the exit of the State of the Union. That's the way I feel like we should wrap up the five. Number one. From the rugged border towns of Texas to the heartland villages of Michigan, from the sun-kissed shores of Florida to the endless fields of the Dakotas, and from the historic streets of Philadelphia, to right here in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., the golden age of America is upon us. The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended. It still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot. And our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America. There it is. Yes, that was it right there. That was the sweetness of it all, right as we speak. So thank you very much. It was a very, and let me just say, presidential. I felt the state of the union was presidential. And it felt good to say that about my favorite president. It did. Because. For a long time, I said it was the only thing that he was missing in life was being a little bit more presidential. It happened yesterday. It was great to see. I loved it. Thank you very much, President Trump. The five at 835. You know, when you talk about the state of the union, everyone gets a guest. You heard us, right? Kevin O'Leary was Rick Scott's guest, and President Trump had quite a few guests in the building. veterans, USA hockey, victims of crimes, so many different guests in the building. But when it comes to guests in the building, my favorite would be Congressman Randy Fine from Florida who showed up with his dad seeing an eye dog. Now you go, why did he show up with his dad seeing an eye dog? Well, I'm going to tell you exactly why he showed up with his dad seeing eye dog because he was making a statement. That's right, making a statement. Based on what? I'll tell you. Nerdeen Kisawani, a pro-Palestinian activist and co-founder of within our lifetime, posted this on X. Quote, finally, New York City is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we've said all along, they are unclean. She eventually followed up saying it was satire and it was about dog poop in New York City snow after a storm. But we know better. So what did Randy do? Well, he immediately responded to that. And he responded with, if we have to choose between our dogs and them going home, the choice is real easy.
Right. The choice would be real easy. Then he started protecting puppies from Sharia Act, which I love, which blocks federal funds from any state or city that bans dogs as pets. And he followed up with United States will not be the 58th Sharia compliant country. And this is why he actually took his dog. I'd choose dogs. Here's the difference. Jews aren't telling people that they can't have dogs. We may not eat pork and we may not eat shellfish, but we're not telling the supermarket that they can't sell them. That's the difference here. And my post was very simple. If you're going to make me choose between having my dog or making a group of people who've immigrated to this country happy by taking my dog away, I choose my dog. And I've got news for you. 99% of Americans feel exactly. the same way. Right. And this is like I said, I've said this, this is cultural compatibility, right? If you come to America and demand we give up our dogs, our cats, our barbecue grills, our religion, whatever it may be, then you don't belong here. Assimilate or go home. That's the fact. You don't belong here. You shouldn't be here. If you don't like what we have to offer, then leave. And if you don't like dogs, you're in the wrong country. So I think what he's saying is right on. I love dogs. I've got two dogs myself, two rescues. I got two rescue dogs that I love tremendously. They're members of our family. Before we go out of town, the first thing we do is figure out what we're going to do with our dogs. Right? You've got to figure that out. How are you going to take care of your dogs? We're animal lovers in America. In Florida, we're even bigger animal lovers. And you know that already. I mean, you've got the Animal Cruelty Task Force here in Lee County. And if you try to abuse an animal, they got nine sheriffs to show up your door like you committed, like you robbed a bank. They'll come and take you to jail right now. Put you, perp-walk you, the whole process. We don't mess around with animal cruelty here in Florida. And especially in Southwest Florida at all. I know the guy, the captain of the Animal Cruelty Task Force. Rich don't mess around. That guy don't mess around at all. If that guy shows up your door, you better be a little nervous. I'm just going to let you know real nervous. He works out every day. He's built strong. The guy's a big boy. And I'm going to tell you right now, if you abused that animal, you don't want to make somebody like that mad. But there you go. Whether, and you know what, let me just say something. Whether you like Randy Fine or not, and if you disagree with his policies, maybe you're not a fan of Randy for whatever reason. Let me just say real quick, put that reason aside and know that he took a dog as his guest to the state of the union to throw it in the face to the left. And better yet, he put a shirt on the dog that said, don't tread on me. Come on now. That says yes. And no matter how you feel about him, this one moment, you should be like, all right, I'm good with him right now. This very moment, I'm good with him. He's all right in my book, right this moment. That's just how I see it. Hold on real quick. I want to get Wayne from Naples. He's got a quick call before we run to break. Wayne, good morning. You're on 92.5 Fox News. What did you want to say about fuel prices? Well, they've gone down a lot, but.
The fuel is used for delivery of produce and that nothing has gone down in price. They've keeping them up and yet they're paying less to get them delivered. Right. So you don't think the retailers are passing along the savings they're getting from the truck drivers, but maybe the delivery companies aren't also knocking their prices down. And I already said this. If you can get $10 for an Apple, you're going to charge $10 for an Apple. I mean, that's just the way it is. If you're going to pay $10 for an Apple, I'm going to sell it to you for $10. And if they tell me that the Apple only costs me a quarter and you're still willing to pay $10 for it, then I'm still going to charge you $10 for that Apple. I see your point there. Right. It's going to be very hard for us to regulate this. Even if we bring it all the way down, and the tariffs are no longer a thing, the price will be very hard to adjust. It'll take a massive amount of competition in order to bring that down. So what would have to happen is six people would have to sell apples on my corner, and one of them would have to sell them for a quarter, and then you would buy that off for a quarter, and the guy for a dollar would have to drop his price. That's the way it would go. I appreciate you calling in and being on the show, bro. Wayne, and you're right, man. The fuel prices are going down. We have to figure out a way to get the retailers to pass that along to us. Thanks for calling in, and I didn't want to leave on hold, Wayne. Thanks for listening to Daybreak. My final thoughts are coming up next as we wrap up Daybreak right here on 925 Fox News.
All right, welcome back to 92-5 Fox News as we wrap up today. I want to wrap up the way we started talking about the State of the Union. And one of the moments I didn't get a chance to speak about in the State of the Union that I found very much a great thing was Trump issuing the Medal of Honor to a few people. And he issued the Medal of Honor to... Quite a few people, actually. And one of the people that he introduced, gave it to, was Eric Slover. He was a U.S. Navy captain, or Navy, I'm sorry, he's an U.S. Army chief warrant officer who was also a pilot and was injured in the Maduro raid. Here he is. He wants to give him the medal. In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty. I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover with our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. He also gave it to U.S. Navy Captain Royce Williams, who is also with the net. Here it is.
In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty. I don't have the Roy's comment. I must have left that clip. But he also gave a Medal of Honor to this man to 100 years old, and he was there as well. Given respect to the military, it's really what it matters. It's, it's. truly our golden age. And if we're going to talk about it, being the golden age, we need to talk about the fact that we need to love our military. And that is something that we stand up to as conservatives. And that's what he did. Chief Warren officer, Eric Slover, the Brave Army helicopter pilot wounded in the daring raid. And then you have the Navy Captain Royce Williams, a hundred-year-old legend from the Korean War, and he did his thing. And the coding age of America, moments like this that make us great. And that's the moment that I truly wanted to remember is watching these heroes of America get the greatest honor they could ever receive as a military veteran or active military member. It is a... honor like no other. And he gave, I mean, you had Purple Hearts, you had all kinds of things going on inside the State of the Union. But given that moment of paying that respect to those who serve and protect our country and given him that honor, it was great to see. As a veteran, man, I support it and I thought it was awesome. Tune in tomorrow on the show. We'll get. A lot more covered on it. Then we'll hopefully have Byron Donalds's on like we do every Thursday. We'll get his react from the State of the Union tomorrow. But on behalf of Rob and myself, you stay safe, Southwest Florida. Glenn Beck's up next. We'll see you. See you. See you. See you. See you. 92-5 Fox News. Right. All along.
