out there , the first of

0:37

which just dropped only

0:39

a few hours ago and that is

0:41

the announcement from

0:44

Frank Rizzi , current area seven

0:46

director , that the

0:48

2024

0:50

area seven championship will be

0:52

July 18th

0:55

through the 21st at

0:57

the SIG Academy

1:00

in Epping , new Hampshire . Yes

1:02

, for those of you who have been living

1:05

under a rock for the past year

1:07

or so , it seems that SIG

1:09

is really

1:12

stepping into

1:14

the shooting sports . They're

1:17

getting a very

1:20

heavily back into uspsa

1:22

, idpa

1:24

, stuff like that . So

1:27

to have the area seven

1:29

championship there is

1:32

going to be pretty cool . Not sure if I'm going to be

1:34

able to make that one or

1:36

not . We will see

1:39

what happens here in the upcoming

1:42

months , but yeah

1:44

, area seven championship at

1:46

the SIG Academy in Epping

1:49

, that

1:51

is kind of epic

1:53

. So

1:56

the only other thing I have got

1:58

on the docket for this episode

2:00

is the runoff

2:03

election results . Yes

2:06

, the results are in . They

2:10

came out monday . I apologize

2:12

, I'm a few days late , so

2:14

you may have already already

2:16

seen this , but

2:18

, yeah , the the

2:20

results are in . So

2:23

let's start off with area six director

2:25

. That is going

2:28

to mr ben barry , with

2:30

668 votes

2:32

over kyle stevens , who

2:35

had 609

2:37

. So

2:40

let's see , okay , yeah

2:44

, so , uh , ben

2:46

barry , congratulations on area

2:48

six . As far

2:50

as president goes , because

2:52

that's the one that everybody wants to know about

2:54

, yim inlin

2:57

has been well

2:59

, let's face it re-elected

3:02

uh to

3:04

the post of president

3:06

. Uh , both of

3:08

these , uh the president

3:11

in the area six director , uh

3:13

, will be taking the their

3:16

respective office on

3:20

, um , yeah

3:23

, january 1st , there we go . Had

3:26

to think there for a second January

3:28

1st 2020 , for

3:30

, so , ye men ended

3:32

up with 2,762

3:36

votes to Luigi Lee's 2,650

3:40

. Honestly

3:43

, I thought

3:45

it would be a bigger spread than that . That's only

3:47

112 vote difference . I

3:51

Don't

3:53

know . Apparently , when I put

3:55

my thoughts and opinions out on this podcast

3:57

, people give me grief over

3:59

it , so I'm just not gonna

4:01

do that . I will give

4:03

you the factual information and

4:06

Not elaborate

4:08

. Here are the facts . If you want elaboration

4:11

, go listen to somebody else's

4:13

podcast . That's

4:16

all I have to say on that . So , congratulations

4:18

, ben Barry , the new or elect

4:21

area 6 director

4:23

, and ye men Lynn , for getting reelected

4:26

, more or less , hopefully

4:29

, to a full term this time . So

4:33

yeah , as

4:35

far as total number

4:38

of votes , let's

4:40

see there were a

4:42

grand total of 26,070

4:46

eligible voters With

4:48

a grand total of 5,442

4:51

votes cast , and that's for

4:53

both elections . There

4:55

were zero invalid ballots , but

4:58

there were 11 blank ballots

5:00

. So I'm not sure how you log

5:03

on to the website and Go

5:06

through the process to actually get to

5:08

where you can vote and Then

5:11

just submit it without voting . I I still

5:13

don't understand how that

5:15

happens or why people do that

5:17

. I would

5:19

assume it's not intentional

5:21

, but

5:24

yeah , so let's , let's just do some , do

5:27

some totaling here . So , okay

5:35

, that's where . Okay

5:40

, so the 5,442 Ballots

5:44

that must be

5:46

just for the presidential election , see

5:51

, they're not . They're not putting the . That's

5:55

where they're not adding the area 6

5:57

in here , because I mean , there's

6:00

only 5,442

6:02

votes cast total . So

6:05

if you take Let

6:10

me just do some quick math here . So

6:12

yeah , if you take both Runoff

6:15

elections the president and the area 6 director

6:18

, that comes out . So , just

6:20

adding the total number of votes between the two

6:22

, 6,689 , and

6:25

yet the election details just say 5,442

6:30

votes cast , only 5,431

6:33

of which were valid . So

6:35

I'm gonna say yeah

6:39

. So anyway , again

6:42

, not a Very

6:46

large group

6:49

from the

6:51

, the 26,000

6:53

members of Of

6:56

us PSA . Now

7:01

, I mean it's on par with

7:04

the original presidential

7:06

election a little earlier this year , but

7:10

still , I mean 20%

7:12

, that's

7:14

, yeah , a

7:18

lot of people and I

7:20

get it a lot of people don't care what

7:23

goes on behind the scenes as

7:26

far as the board of directors

7:28

and the president

7:31

and managing director and whatnot

7:33

. A lot of people don't care , and

7:36

I understand that . I

7:38

don't get too heavily invested

7:40

in it to

7:42

the point where I'm going to go out

7:44

on social media and

7:47

use my platform here in the podcast and on the YouTube

7:49

channel to go out and

7:51

let's

7:55

just say say things

7:57

that probably I don't

7:59

need to say . Yeah

8:01

, I do get fired up every once in a while

8:03

, but I'm not sitting here saying

8:05

that I'm going to

8:07

destroy the organization

8:10

or that

8:12

everybody needs to be fired

8:14

and replaced and they're

8:17

not doing what I think they should do

8:19

. Well , there are

8:21

26,000 people

8:24

that think

8:27

the organization should do

8:29

one thing or another . So

8:32

if the organization isn't doing what

8:34

you think the organization should do

8:36

, well , I

8:38

don't really know what to tell you . If

8:42

you don't like it , let

8:44

your area director know , let the president

8:47

know , but anyway

8:49

. So I'm getting off on

8:51

my own little tangent here and I

8:54

will apologize for that right

8:56

now . If you have any

8:58

questions , thoughts , comments

9:00

, concerns , I did get a few comments

9:03

after the last episode and

9:06

I'm sorry people

9:09

, but I don't claim

9:11

to know everything . I do

9:13

not have backdoors

9:15

into the USPSA board of directors

9:17

. All I

9:19

know is what

9:21

is put out to the

9:24

general public by USPSA

9:26

, that's it

9:29

. I don't sit here and

9:31

listen to X , y

9:33

and Z People's podcasts and

9:35

their thoughts and opinions and what they

9:37

heard through the grapevine

9:39

from somebody whose brother

9:42

knows someone who was related

9:44

to another person that went to college

9:47

with a member of the board of directors . I

9:50

don't care , I

9:52

don't care . Here I am getting fired up

9:54

again . I actually got a couple

9:56

of comments from the last episode

9:59

flat out , blatantly telling

10:01

me I'm full of shit and

10:04

I am wrong about what I'm saying . Well

10:07

, that's a great thing about America . Everybody

10:11

is their own opinion . I

10:14

may not like your opinion , you may not like my opinion

10:16

, but an opinion is an opinion and

10:18

some of the things that

10:20

I said in that last episode of the podcast

10:22

are my

10:26

thoughts and my opinions

10:28

based off the information that I

10:31

have . So

10:33

I'm sorry

10:35

that the information that I have is

10:38

not 100% , absolutely

10:41

accurate , because you

10:43

have had multiple

10:46

hours a day for multiple

10:48

days to sift through information

10:50

and all this . You

10:53

know I have a day job , so

10:56

I do this podcast for

10:58

informational purposes and

11:01

I do it for fun . Okay , this

11:03

isn't a job for me

11:06

, this is a hobby . So

11:09

if I say something

11:11

and it's

11:13

not correct , well

11:16

, I

11:18

didn't know it wasn't correct and I apologize

11:21

for putting out false information . But

11:25

some of you guys damn

11:28

, you know

11:30

, I flat out thought about

11:32

just being done last

11:35

week , in

11:37

the day since I posted that episode . Yeah

11:40

, I'm literally just

11:42

reading some of the

11:44

comments and emails

11:46

that I got just

11:50

sitting here thinking , you know what , why

11:52

do I bother ? Why

11:55

do I bother ? I

11:59

, you know ? I

12:01

mean , honestly , I don't understand why . If

12:04

some of you people are so correct

12:06

and have all of this knowledge

12:08

, start your own damn podcast , go

12:12

ahead , you

12:14

know , put out the information

12:17

. That's what I'm trying

12:19

to do , and my

12:21

information isn't always correct . Well

12:24

, damn , I

12:26

guess I'm not perfect . Oh wait , well

12:29

, I can't say nobody is , because apparently some

12:32

of you people are . So

12:35

anyway , I'm gonna get off my self

12:37

box now . If you have any

12:39

comments , questions , suggestions . Shoot

12:41

me an email . I am so shooting you . Gmailcom . Catch

12:44

me on Facebook , instagram . Check

12:47

out the YouTube channel , the

12:50

Discord server . That

12:52

was literally

12:54

going nowhere , and

12:57

it was going nowhere in a very big hurry

12:59

. I did

13:01

have a couple of people that put

13:04

some comments on there , but

13:07

I think since I

13:09

started the Discord channel , I've got I

13:11

had a grand total of like

13:13

five users on there , so

13:16

it's it wasn't

13:18

worth it . So that's that's history

13:20

. If you're looking for that , so

13:23

get a hold of me on any of the other platforms

13:26

. Also on Rumble , I'm

13:28

still trying to figure

13:30

that out . I've got it hooked to

13:32

the YouTube channel and it's supposedly

13:35

supposed to be bringing videos over , but

13:39

apparently it's not actually doing that . So

13:43

I guess I'll have to start

13:45

manually bringing stuff over there . So

13:48

check me out on there . And

13:51

I think that's it . So I know I

13:53

said this would be a short podcast , a

13:56

little bit longer than I was expecting , but I kind of got off

13:59

on a little rant there , so

14:01

I will see you

14:03

guys on the range , but until then

14:05

, shoot safe .
