Episode Transcript

(00:17):
Hey, good morning, and welcometo Wednesday on the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. I'm Preston. That's GrantDay. He's Jared. It's good to
be with you. It is Maythirty. First, we are wrapping up
the month of May. Next thing, you know, we're gonna be shopping
for Christmas. It's it's amazing herewe are tomorrow the official start of hurricane

(00:43):
season. And then we get touh. I still remember Eric Hager's former
producer of the Morning Show. Hesaid, hurricane season brought to you by
Lows. Anyway, we will wewill have the appropriate, you know,
breakdown of things you need to consideras storm season cranks up. The likelihood

(01:03):
is that we will not face muchof a threat until August, September October.
September October is kind of the wheelhousefor storm season. But we will
have storms. It's just part ofliving in a peninsula. And no one
spot in the broadcast areas too faraway from the potential of a problem.

(01:27):
So we will do the best wecan to be prepared to help you and
help you be prepared. But asalways, we begin with a verse of
scripture thought or two Psalm one nineteenversus one forty three and one forty four.
That'll take you a minute to read. Trouble and distress have come upon

(01:49):
me, But your commands give medelight. Your statutes are always righteous,
give me understanding that I may live. We all have days when we roll
out of the rack and you youjust have this feeling of I don't I
don't want to use the word dread, but sometimes we just wake up and

(02:14):
we're surly, grouchy. Maybe it'ssome leftover from the day before, something
that happened at work, maybe anexchange with one of your kids, or
with a close friend, even yourspouse, and you wake up and you
just kind of feel like it's goingto be one of those days. Well,
first and foremost, my challenge toyou would be to just make a

(02:37):
decision to not have one of thosedays. And I often reflect on something
my wife has said to me overthe years that when you go through a
difficult time, whether it's for amoment, for a day, for a

(02:57):
week, month, maybe even feelslike longer, that something we ought to
do is step back and just considermaybe there's some lessons here for us to
learn in the midst of this,and that maybe there are reasons why we're

(03:21):
being allowed to go through this.I think a lot of people wander around
in this day and age with areally poor understanding of how God works and
we you know, I saw thisfrequently when I used to do counseling with
people, and and you know,I would just sit and listen to folks

(03:42):
and and try to sort of bethe the person outside of all the trees
to take a look at the forest, you know, not some deep,
you know, psychological profile, butmore just advice, common sense wisdom that
I would glean from just listening tothem and applying what God's word has to

(04:03):
say about a situation. But Ithink we sometimes find ourselves encumbered by all
of the stuff that life throws onus, and we don't get a really
good view, and so we needto rely on others sometimes to speak to

(04:23):
us about life and what's going onin it. But we often have this
expression, well, if it's meantto be and then fill in the blank.
Except that's just that's theologically wrong,and it's lazy. You and I
make choices. No one makes usdo anything. I have a great friend

(04:47):
who said to me for years whenI would say, you know you need
to, you have to, hewould say, I don't have to do
anything. I choose everything I do. It's like, wow, Yeah,
we make choices, own them,good and bad, learn from them,

(05:08):
and rock on. Forget and moveon, Learn and move on. Ten
minutes after the hour, come backwith this date in history, May thirty
first, with the Patriots Almanac hasto say to us. And then we
will get started with the Morning Showwith Preston Scott. And this is the

(05:30):
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Tomorrow, Big day on iHeartRadio. We'll set
you up for that here in justsecond. May thirty first, nineteen eighty
two, after laying a wreath atthe tomb of the unknown Soldier, then

(05:59):
President Ronald Reagan said, the sitebefore us is that of a strong and
good nation that stands in silence andremembers those who were loved and who in
return loved their countrymen enough to diefor them. If you've never been,
Arlington is a remarkable place. It'scrazy that when I've been to Arlington a

(06:27):
couple of times, and it's crazythat when I went, I did not
know that it was the home ofRobert E. Lee, that the home
of Robert E. Lee was infact sitting on top of the hill,
and that the Union took it inessence as a slap in the face to
Robert E. Lee for daring tofight against the Union. And we have

(06:51):
used the land of Arlington. Arlingtonwas the name he gave the property,
and so we've we've used it eversince. But the Tomb of the Unknown
stands on the hill overlooking Washington,d C. One of the most solemn
monuments in our country. It honorsall of the US soldiers whose remains have

(07:15):
never been identified. Beneath the eightfoot tall, white marble tomb lies the
body of an unknown soldier from WorldWar One, placed there in nineteen twenty
one. Inscribed on the tomb arethe words here rests in honored glory and
American soldier known, but to God. Unknown soldiers from World War Two Korea

(07:39):
Vietnam lie nearby. Remains of theVietnam unknown were identified by DNA testing in
nineteen ninety eight and were removed.That tomb is now empty. Members of
the third US Infantry Guard of theGuard the Tomb of the Unknown twenty four
to seven, three hundred and sixtyfive days a year and if you've ever

(08:01):
been there for the changing of theguard, that is quite a ceremony.
And if you've ever been privy toseeing video of somebody who decides to be
a jerk around them, that neverends. Well, you know a lot
of people think, oh, they'rejust ceremonials. No. No, the
best of the best get that detail, and it would be very unwise to

(08:24):
mess with them, and some peoplehave learned that lesson. Also on this
date, eighteen twenty one, firstAmerican Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin Mary's dedicated inBaltimore. Eighteen eighty nine, twenty two
hundred people die in Johnstown, Pennsylvaniaafter Damn Breaks floods the city. Honest

(08:45):
and truly, my family tree couldhave been totally eliminated in that flood.
That's where that's where my dad was. He was born in Johnstown. The
flood happened before, so his momand dad lived there, and wow,

(09:13):
it's it's just crazy. Nineteen eighteen, Lieutenant Douglas Campbell becomes the first Flying
eighth under American colors when he shootsdown his fifth German playing over France.
Nineteen twenty seven, Ford Motor Companyproduces the last model t trans Alaska oil

(09:33):
pipeline completed in nineteen seventy seven,and in nineteen ninety four, the United
States announces it will no longer aimnuclear missiles at targets in the former Soviet
Union. So there you have it. Sixteen minutes after the hour, come
back, talk about Access Day anda little reset from yesterday's show. Get

(10:01):
your thoughts together and your questions assembledin your melon, because in the third
hour, Charlie Strickland will join usand we'll just do a Q and A.
It's a fifth Wednesday, and sowhen we have a fifth Wednesday,
guys from Talent Training Group come inand we take calls. This is something
that they don't do for Talent Outdoorsbecause they prerecord the show, although they

(10:26):
could be clever and take calls maybesomeday. That said, we take calls
on the fifth Wednesday, and youcan ask a question about firearms, training,
ammunition, personal safety safety for yourbusiness. That is becoming a big,

(10:52):
big, big issue, the numberof businesses that are under attack as
a result of the foolishness that camefrom Black Lives Matter and UM and Clantifa.
But we Digress that's coming up inthe third hour. You can get
your questions ready for for Charlie.Yesterday Matt Staver came on the program,

(11:15):
and I've had a few emails.He talked about the Covenant Journey Academy.
It's it's a remarkable program. It'san online school. Yes it there is
tuition, but there are there arelevels of support available scholarships if you will,
based on the circumstances. But thewebsite is c JA dot Academy.

(11:43):
That's it, CEJ dot Academy.There is no dot com, no dot
org, no dot net. CEJdot Academy. That's the website if you
want to learn more. But Igot this note in response to my interview.
When my son was about to entermiddle school. He recognized that the

(12:05):
school I'll leave the name of theschool out of it had a significant increase
in bullies. I saw the samething. He was so stressed about going
to middle school after what his freakysmart brother had endured at another school by
students and staff, that he askedif he could do private school or Florida
Virtual school. I had the sameconcerns. I had the same concerns,

(12:28):
but I didn't want to discourage him. I set out the rules that if
he tried the virtual school, whichwere he had to stay on par with
his school year, complete all assignmentswith a beep average, had to take
responsibility for his schedule and homework.He and I were constantly communicated with provided
extra support. All communication was copiedto the parent. I knew what was

(12:52):
going on with my child. Hehad the exact rubric for his classes and
could reach out to his teachers anytimeeight a to eight p. Everyone told
me I was making a mistake,that he wouldn't be able to make it
in college or around other students.I shared their concerns. He thrived.
His brothers needed almost two years incollege to figure out how to own the

(13:15):
education. But he started college andcontrol knowing what he needed to do.
He was a mature student. Isn'tthat the goal? Virtual school allowed him
to own his education. He graduatedwith a high school diploma on schedule with
a four point o GPA. He'snow a junior at FSU pursuing a BS
and Computer science currently with a fourpoint zero. He's confident. He's confident,

(13:41):
and he's reached out to his professorseasily. Confidently from the beginning and
leads groups and projects and helps otherstudents when asked. He avoided the bullying,
the agenda driven non academic curriculum,and public school. The Florida Virtual
School allowed him to focus on learning, gave him a platform to become a
successful student. We provided the extracurricularactivities and other socializing opportunities that were more

(14:05):
meaningful to him. Public school tearsdown self esteem and too many teachers engage
in it. It has become anunhealthy environment for too many kids. Virtual
school is not a good fit forall kids, but it can be an
excellent option when designed properly. Iadvocate for school choice. It gives students
and parents the opportunity to own theireducation. Regards Boom and that's what you're

(14:31):
seeing more and more of. Moreand more parents are pulling their kids out
of the public school and just consideringall the options. And now you know
that Liberty Counsel and Matt Staver anda group of experts have been working for
years and have created their own onlineoption. It's an option ce j dot

(14:58):
Academy. It's a website, allright. Tomorrow's the day. It's access
day on iHeartRadio. It's a firstever. You're gonna get access to the
biggest deals from national and local brandsyou love, and experiences you can.
You can intend to live broadcast ofthe Herd with Colin Cowherd. You can

(15:18):
spend a day in the man Cavewith Dan and the dan Ets Dan Patrick.
That would be fun. That wouldbe very fun. Anyway, if
you want to get ready for it, you just go to iHeart Access Day
dot com, iHeart Access Day dotcom and get ready because Access Day is

(15:41):
tomorrow on iHeartRadio. Welcome to theMorning Show with Preston Scott. Thirty five
minutes after the hour, Grant Allenover there in Studio one A. Jared's

(16:03):
in there as well this morning,getting a refresher course, preparing to step
in. We'll explain all that sometimethis week. Perhaps Grant's gonna be gone,
little boy. What's going on?We'll explain big stories in the press
box. Thankfully, more and morepeople are coming around to the same opinion

(16:30):
we have on the budget deal.It's not a budget deal at all.
We got sold out again and infact I got someone shared with me a
A thread on the debt bill byNancy mace, and where's she from?

(16:51):
What state is she represented in?South Carolina? South Carolina, she said,
after reading the bill twice something,voting no on the debt ceiling to
bacle because it's playing the DC gameand it's not worth selling out our kids
and grandkids. Republicans got outsmarted bypresident who can't find his pants, and

(17:17):
then she goes on this ridiculously longthread breaking down all of the problems,
and in essence, she's dead onright to that, and Rand Paul offered,
he said, I'm going to releasea conservative alternative to the debt deal,
noting that sixty plus percent of Americanswant us to cut spending. Only

(17:42):
raise the debt if we're cutting spending. And he's got a really smart set
of proposals. Here, replace theblanket two years suspension on the debt ceiling,
keep that in mind, two years, no debt sealing at all,
none with a five hundred billion dollarhike, forcing Congress to come back to

(18:08):
the table to do their job andfigure out solutions. In other words,
Rand Paul's saying, we can't default. We're going to raise the debt enough
to not default. And then yougot to sit down and fix it by
cutting spending. Two replaces the capson discretionary spending with caps on total spending

(18:30):
that cuts five percent spent each year. And three creates a mandate that growth
and federal outlays may at no pointexceed the growth in revenue from the previous
fiscal year. I don't agree withthat one. That's not good enough.
It needs to require that as wehave historic revenues. We had historic revenues

(18:55):
without the tax hikes. The taxhikes have only made it worse. Government's
taking more, we're getting less forit because of inflation and waste duplication in
government services. And so all thatdoes is it allows growth if revenues come,

(19:18):
it incentivizes raising taxes. That's ano go. But what's important here
is that this is a terrible negotiationby Kevin McCarthy, and he's out there.
You might be hearing ads on ourradio program thanking Kevin McCarthy for a

(19:41):
win against the Democrats. No,no, it's not. That's nonsense.
He failed. He could have hungthis right around the neck of Joe Biden
and Democrats. He failed. Hehad a bill. He should have stuck
with it and let the chips fallwhere they may. Yes, we shouldn't

(20:04):
default on debt, but you knowwhat what we're doing now is maybe worse.
We just keep taking more of yourmoney and we keep borrowing for ridiculous,
wasteful government, and that is thatis a dead end. We've got

(20:30):
more analysis on how this all cameto be coming up Preston Scott Boy.
That escalated quickly. I mean thatreally got out of hand fast on WFLA
forty one minutes after the hour.When I talk about analysis, I'm gonna

(20:52):
go a little nuanced and we're gonnatalk about some findings of the Media Research
Center on what has been happening withthe reporting on all of this since the
beginning of the year, the loomingdebt crisis, and it's still looming.
There's nothing that's changed. We arewe are heading to the cliff at this

(21:18):
point. I almost feel like theonly thing you're going to ever see our
skid marks. If we get anysense of Republican leadership in the House,
Senate, and White House. Idon't know that we can stop going over
because I don't know if we havethe will to do what's necessary, which
is what you do at home whenwhen you're when you're really stuck in a

(21:45):
tough place, you cut spending,you get drastic, you eat differently.
You you you are not going tothe movies. You're not playing golf,
You're not You're not going and voting, you're not. You're You're just you
are locked in, and you arepaying down debt, and as you pay

(22:06):
down debt, you create a littlemore space in a little more space,
and a little more space for somediscretionary money. The media is playing a
role in how this is even beingviewed, and we're gonna get to that
later on in the program. Igot sent this and I looked at a
video, a TikTok video of aguy rambling on and the email I got

(22:29):
asked a question. Pam said,I don't agree with this, especially about
the three flags. I'll explain,but she wrote, I do know there
will be a splitting of votes betweenDesanis and Trump, which could elect Biden
or some other Democrat. Okay,let me just back up here. First
of all, it's a video clipthirty eight seconds long, give or take,

(22:52):
of a guy saying uh huh uhhuh. I'm paraphrasing. See see
the three banners. The three hadbanners. Obama used it, Biden used
it, and now look who's usingit. De Santis. And they're talking
about the campaign logo. Yes,and that it's a it's a tip to
the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. That's a new one. I haven't

(23:17):
heard that one. Well, that'sand and and he's and he's talking about
and he goes on to talk aboutdividing votes and all that, and it's
I And I wrote to Pam andI said, Pam, bless your heart.
This guy's an idiot, and he'sa tool. And don't listen to
him. And you know, andand he discredits himself with the initial analysis
of dividing the votes. People,listen to me, in a primary,

(23:44):
you're not dividing the votes other thanby the primary, by the measurement of
dividing votes. Anyone that runs againstDonald Trump is dividing the vote. But
it will have nothing to do withthe presidential election. Nothing, it will
determine who runs for president. Andso this guy's analysis is so ridiculously it's

(24:11):
not just shallow, it's stupid.Because DeSantis can't divide the vote and allow
Biden to get elected. Here's themost likely scenario of dividing the vote,
and we've talked about it. Themost likely scenario of dividing the vote is

(24:33):
if Donald Trump loses the primary,gets his nose out of joint and runs
as an independent. And I wouldput the odds of that at fifty fifty.
If Trump loses the primary, wouldn'tyou? And what does that say?

(24:56):
What that says is that Trump caresmore about Trump then he does the
country, because the only thing thathappens if Trump runs as an independent is
a Democrat win it. Guarantee it. I guarantee it. So as it
relates to the red flags rubbish,I judge Governor Ronda Santis not based on

(25:21):
who he sits down and has coffeewith or lunch with, or how did
he govern, what is his signatureon, what did he put his signature
on legislatively? I'm good with thatstuff. Next Wednesday, already on the

(25:42):
Morning show May thirty first, onthe radio program Don't Great Access Day Tomorrow
it is on iHeartRadio, where youhave access to some great deals on national
and local brands you love, aswell as some wonderful opportunities. I mean,

(26:03):
some really cool experiences are available.You can I may look. I'm
a kid that grew up in thesixties, seventies and eighties and as a
result, Lionel Richie was a thingthe Commodoores. If you remember the Commodorees.
He was the lead singer for theCommodores before breaking off and going solo
and then earth Wind and Fire.You can see them on tour. What

(26:26):
a combo. I wonder if phoenixhorns are still with part of Earth Wind
and Fire. They've got to be. They've got to be. Anyway you
can, you can check that out. Chef Tyler Florence. You might remember
there was a string of commercials yearsago Applebee's did when they had some Tyler
Florence specialties on their menus. Heis. He is a really well regarded

(26:52):
chef. You can have a mealprepared by Tyler Florence. All you need
to do is go online and registeriHeartRadio Access Day dot com. iHeartRadio Access
Day dot Com. I'm sorry tosay this, but parents, once again,

(27:14):
we have another social media challenge that'sgoing around. It's it's an old
one being circulated again and kids arealready dying and uh and so just be
aware. It's it's in this case, thirteen year old girl died from chroming.

(27:37):
You know chroming is Nope, firsttime I've heard it. It is
not overuse of Google's search engine.It's that that's not what it is.
Um. It is inhaling fumes fromin this case, a deodorant can anything

(27:57):
that has an aerosol spray to ithas a propellant in it. And for
years, young people and not soyoung people have been daring themselves to to
do this. The the the ideasyou get some kind of high by sniffing,
huffing, in inhaling this stuff,kind of like sniffing sharpies on steroids.

(28:23):
Gotcha, yep, yeah, anduh. She went into cardiac arrest
remained on life support for eight days. Doctors said her brain was damaged beyond
repair, and the family had tosay their goodbyes. Um, this is
it's it's unbelievable the things that wereport on that are that are being tried.

(28:53):
Um, we've we've documented the scaldingwater nonsense. I mean, it's
actually chugging boiling water. I mean, it's just goodness, You've got to
be kidding me. Some kind oflike bravery test or whatever. In this
case, it is it's sniffing anythingfrom aerosol cans and they use metallic paints.

(29:15):
They'll use deodorants and deodorans, Imean it's deodor and yeah, it's
in your drawer and a lot ofpeople use that stuff, um gas solvents.
It's just now chrome based paint isa thing, and that's where it
got the term chroming. But it'sit's really the aerosol that is at work

(29:41):
here. You know. It's myfirst brush with this, believe it or
not, was in the early nineteenseventies. I was gonna say, kids
as far back as my elementary schooldays have been sniffing expo markers. Really.
Oh yeah, just because they justbecause it's like, oh wow,
man, yeah edgy purple, Yeah, try the orange. You know.

(30:10):
I was a I used to drawand I would draw with charcoal. And
I used to be a fairly decentartist when it came to drawing, just
hand drawing stuff. And I wouldjust draw things. And I had a
spray that was like a light lacquertype spray that I could and it wasn't

(30:32):
lacquer, but it's like that thatwould protect the charcoal from smudging. And
I remember my mom walking in afterI drew this Sherlock Holmes profile thing that
was from a cover of a bookI sprayed. My mom walked in and
said, are you snaffing that stuff? And I'm like, what are you
talking? That was my first introductionto that whole idea from my mom.

(31:10):
Buckle up, kiddos, it's gonnabe a fun hour here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. I amPreston. That's Grant and Jared over there
in Studio one. A. Iam here in Studio one being good to
be with you. Wednesday, Maythirty, first Show forty nine thirty nine,
as we make our way to showfive thousand sometime this year, just

(31:34):
laughing because I know what's coming thishour. We got animal stories and we've
got some sound that you just youjust need to hear. And anyway,
but we'll begin with sewing and reaping. Have you ever heard of giant food?

(32:00):
Giant Food is a thing in theNortheast DC, Maryland, Virginia,
Delaware supermarket gym one hundred and sixtyfive of them. And listen to what
shoppers are going to have to endureshopping at this grocery store. Moving forward,
they're hiring more security, they're limitingstore entrances, restricting the number of

(32:24):
items at self checkout stands. Bythe way, thank you for that.
There's nothing quite like someone doing theself checkout with five hundred items in their
shopping cart. That it's but Ican't blame them because more and more stores
don't have anybody checking anybody out.But anyway, they're putting fewer high value

(32:49):
items on shelves, securing razor bladesand containers that make a noise if they're
opened. Companies said they've seen theftrise at least tenfold in the last five
years, violence increase exponentially. Theirwords, not mine, you said,
the alternative is worse for customers.The last thing I want to do is
closed stores. But we got torun them safely and profitably. Fears of

(33:15):
violent reactions from shoplifters has changed somecompany policies. We used to chase shoplifters
and you get the product back andknow one would ever fight you. I
didn't worry about somebody pulling a knifeor gun on me forty years ago.
Of course that's changed. You mightknow Whole Foods downtown San Francisco's no more

(33:38):
they had to close that store.And where does this circle back to sewing
and reaping. It circles back tosewing and reaping because of Black Lives Matter.
It is all based on a fraud. It's all based on lies.
And the result of all of thathas been this move to defund police,

(34:04):
to change bail laws, to electdistrict attorneys that don't prosecute crimes. And
so what you have is a growthin crime. And if you think it's
just limited to those areas, thoselocales, think again. It's everywhere.
It's creeping into parts of communities thatnever had crime problems before. And interestingly

(34:30):
enough, it leads to our discussionnext Hour, in part with Charlie Strickland,
the odds of having to deal withsomething at some point are up ridiculously
high. We have fewer law enforcementofficers, fewer that want to be law

(34:55):
enforcement officers, fewer people being punished. They're being let right back out.
They go back to committing the samecrimes. We told a story last week
of people, a group of kidsarrested for stealing cars and the person who
came to pick them up their quoteguardian, came in a stolen car.
How do you what do you dowith that? But laws matter if we

(35:23):
enforce them. Governing around to Santishas been blamed for illegals leaving the state
of Florida. Axios. Some undocumentedimmigrants who came to Florida now leaving because
of a new law recently signed bygoverning around to sandus that places restrictions on
their livelihoods. Some undo, youmean illegal invaders of this country In the

(35:46):
law. It goes into effect Julyfirst, and it will make it difficult
for them to get work. Itwill make it difficult for them to function
in Florida. So you know whatthey're doing. They're leaving. Imagine that
laws matter. The Morning Show withPreston Scott Now just to ask yourself,

(36:24):
how unreasonable is this? The newlaw voids out of state driver's licenses for
those without proof of citizenship. Anythingunreasonable about that, bars municipalities from using
state money to issue identification cards forundocumented ie illegal invaders, and requires most

(36:51):
companies in Florida to verify the immigrationstatus of new hires, among other restrictions.
It also repeals the state law thatallows some documented ie illegal invaders to
obtain a license to practice law.You remember that remember that fight. Illegal

(37:13):
immigrants were being allowed to practice lawin Florida, to get their degrees and
be a lawyer, and they're noteven in the country legally. Oh the
irony. Anyway, we passed thelaw, Governor signs, it goes into
effect in July, and illegal immigrantsare leaving the state. Good. Why

(37:36):
aren't we doing this nationally? Whyaren't we enforcing the laws that we have?
Why aren't we never mind? Nevermind? Laws matter? And that's
spins into this story. Have youseen the NINEO votes recently by the Supreme
Court? No, I've not.One was an EPA water rule. The

(38:04):
EPA's broad definition of the waters ofthe United States was narrowed significantly by the
Supreme Court. It was a nineoz decision. Now what would that tell
you? Offer a snap analysis ofa Nino ruling. It was kind of
a goofy. One side had kindof a goofy standing to begin with.

(38:28):
There was no standing either that eitherthe conservative originalist originalist judges said yeah,
this is ridiculous, or the activistjudges said yeah, this is ridiculous,
or all of them just looked atand said this is ridiculous. Right,
pretty much Nino done, Schumer's rippingthe MAGA. Supreme Court after that ruling

(38:52):
lull right, well, jeez,that's hilarious. And so we come on
the heels of that. And Idon't know which one came first. There's
another NINEO ruling and this one isbeing it's being blistered by people on the
right because it has to do withthe IRS. And the ruling is,

(39:17):
now it's officially legal for the IRSto secretly obtain bank records of a third
party which is not under investigation.You can be a person who committed no
crime, not even be suspected ofhaving committed a crime. And yet still
if the IRS is trying to collectthe back taxes from your friend, they

(39:42):
can pull your bank records as well. It plays out in secret. You
don't have to be informed. TheFEDS can access your bank records. The
Supreme Court said, Nino, yesthey can. And this is what mean
nuts. People are mad at thewrong, wrong folks. This is not

(40:05):
the fault of the Supreme Court.This is the fault of Congress. They're
interpreting the law properly. If youdon't like that, and you shouldn't,
Congress needs to change the law andthis is where honestly, this is why

(40:32):
I have a job. I havea job because I get to offer you.
Just hang on here, everybody beforeall, the court's lost its legitimacy.
Look at this ruling. They saythe IRS. No, they don't.
They say the law says, theIRS can do this. If you

(40:53):
don't like the law, Congress needsto change it. That's the definition of
an originalist. An originalist interprets whatthe law says, not what it means.
There's a big difference. Had wedone that with Obamacare, we never

(41:14):
would have had it pass because theydidn't put the word taxes in it.
John Roberts intentionally ruled on what itmeant, not what it says. He
went activist in that ruling. Originalistjudges, and in this case, I'm
saying kudos to the three others.They fell in line and ruled that's what

(41:37):
the law says. If you don'tlike it, changed the law, and
that's how it's supposed to work.So don't be upset by the NINEO ruling
on the IRS. I have titledthis segment of the radio pro am Disney

(42:02):
and Dylan Grant coils back, mouthmakes the face of someone sucking a lemon
with severe bitterness. I'm just gonnaroll sound here. This is from Piers

(42:28):
Morgan's Twitter page, and this isthe latest release, apparently from Dylan mulvaney.
So I recently told my parents thatI may be a little bit romantically
interested in women. And that wasa big shock for them, considering the
past ten years of coming out asgay, then queer, than non binary,

(42:49):
than trams and I think it wasjust a bit of a shock.
So I tell my dad and hegoes, well, I would love to
see you get a woman pregnant,And I said, oh no, no,
no, she would be getting meat. Okay, the rest of that
is obvious. So you guys,I don't know. Jared's got you by

(43:19):
a few years. You remember theold rod Sterling Zone picture. If you
will, a man who's not aman but a woman, but a woman
who professes love for another woman,would that make her? I mean,
you can't write this. All thingscan happen in the Twilight Zone. Don't,
don't, don't. It's just it'sit's it's insanity. So here's my

(43:44):
question, how is it possible thatDylan Mulvaney's not working at Disney given his
profile and his love for theater,right, he's literally he's a kid like
that. That was his whole thing. He was a Broadway performer for the

(44:06):
play The Book of Mormon, andI have just the role. Enter Disney.
The Disney story that connects sort ofkind of. A video has surfaced
at from disney Land of a maleemployee dressed as a fairy Godmother apprentice outside
the Biboty Bobbity boutique. And myname is Nick. I'm one of the

(44:34):
fairy Godmother's apprentices. I'm here toshop you around and make all your selections
for the day, he says tochildren entering the store. So you would
think that would be a natural fitfor Dylan. They intentionally hired for this
gig a dude with a mustache.Nothing says princess, Oh yeah, I

(44:58):
saw it. Nothing said as princess. Boutique like facial air, blue dress,
heavy blue eyeshadow, with a mustache. They always wear more makeup than
normal women is Dave Rubin pointed outhow many girls would love that job,

(45:20):
how many young ladies would love thejob of being that person of helping young
kids shop and be in that role. And we're handing. I can't.
I can't believe that women's groups arestanding for this. They're losing jobs,
they're losing opportunities for scholarships, they'reusing losing awards, they're they're losing up

(45:46):
podiums and trophies and scholarships. Howare they standing for this. It's the
patriarchy, man. Patriarchy is inevitabledefined as what I mean, you know,
and what does that mean anymore?It's it's just it's just a matter

(46:14):
of which virtue is gonna win outbecause obviously I made this choke before.
Apparently men are even better at beingwomen because they're taking all the female jobs.
Yes, it would seem by theway, targets lost another two and
a half billion dollars in value sinceyesterday, and so the free fall continues.

(46:42):
Bud Lights apparently dropped another two hundredgrand out there to support LGBTQ businesses.
And you know what, if that'syour thing, whatever, just don't
whine about it. You know,if that if you want to commit as
as one of the research assistants said, if you want to commit corp it's
suicide, cool, be my guest, but don't whine about it. Don't

(47:07):
whine when people push back on whatyou're doing and find it offensive that we
can't even identify what a woman isanymore? Are you kidding me? All
right, let's take a break,come back, Big stories in the press
box, animal stories and more still'llcome. It's the Morning Show with Preston

(47:28):
Scott's on news radio one hundred pointseven WFLA. So the FBI is falling
on the sword to keep the informationon the Hunter Biden probe bribery investigation on

(47:52):
the resident. They're not giving upinformation to Congress. That can only mean
one thing. It's going to bevery interesting because they are going to hold
the director of the FBI and contemptof Congress. Now what does that mean?
Yeah, probably not much. It'sso it's so unsettling that Congress is

(48:16):
such a loathsome place that we haveto rely on for so much. That's
troubling. But anyway, we'll seewhat happens. We'll see if people get
fed up enough and awakened enough.I don't have a lot of faith in
the Republican Party messaging and doing theright thing, but we do have a

(48:37):
handful of reps across the country thatare good, patriotic love America. I
don't have to agree with him oneverything, but on the big stuff we
got to be in lockstep. Andanyway, so we'll see. I told
you last hour. The big storyin the press box is the debt ceiling.
The Freedom Caucus is out there saying, yeah, this isn't gonna fly,

(49:01):
and so the McCarthy may not havethe votes, may not have the
votes to get this done. Sothis is going to be interesting because if
I'm not mistaken, tonight's the deadlineat midnight. If I'm not mistaken,
June first is when we have anofficial debt problem and a potential default on

(49:24):
debt missing an interest payment or payments. Yeah, midnight tonight, tonight.
Yeah, Okay, maybe the deadlineto rate occurreding to USA today, the
deadline to raise it could come assoon as June first, But then CNN
says lawmakers are racing the clock tohave vert a catastrophic default ahead of June

(49:45):
fifth. So interesting tonight, it'ssoon the weekend, it is coming.
Yeah. Media Research Center analyzed allseventy four ab see, CBS and NBC
evening news stories that discussed the deadceiling from January first to May twenty seven,

(50:07):
a couple of days ago, afew days ago. And I don't
know if you've ever looked at thatsite. It goes by the name NewsBusters.
Oh yeah, and they have greataudio video because it's just they're the
closest thing to what Rush used toproduce on his program, the montages,

(50:30):
the sound bites that he would rollout, just proving how in lockstep the
mainstream media was using the same buzzwords, the same things. And then we
in fact proved how they are workingin lockstep with Congress. And I still
have that story in my portfolio here, but in these stories, it's it's

(50:55):
absolutely amazing. Forty four sound bitesfrom anchors, reporters, and a handful
of nonpartisan sources. Twenty one blamedRepublicans, twenty three blamed both sides,
zero blamed Democrats. Let's take ita step further. Nearly one fourth of

(51:15):
the stories, the reporters used theterm deep steep, slash gut to characterize
what we were asking for initially beforeKevin McCarthy cave Republican cuts, but then
we get to catastrophic. That wasthe word the Democrats rolled out, and

(51:36):
loan behold, the mainstream media.More than two thirds of the stories sixty
nine percent had some form of theword catastrophe. Animal Stories next of the
Boarding show, in the Wild orin Our Home, We Love Them Critters,

(52:00):
large and Small. Time for anotheredition of Animal Stories on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Ah,we need this, we need a break,
all right, I'm gonna tell youthis story of Virginia Tias. Virginia's
eighty seven years young and lives inDecatur, Illinois. She was watering flowers

(52:28):
in the front yard and she spottedsomething moving. She called her son in
law, Craig Stephens Senior. Hereplies to wn DTV, she called and
said, well, I see thebiggest snake I've ever seen. Then she
said, well, it looks likean alligator. He was attending his grandson's

(52:54):
baseball game with family members, saidhis mother in law's report was difficult.
He said, yeah, everyone wasjust rolling in their chairs like yeah,
okay, whatever. So just fora second, let's just pause old grandma.
I wonder what she's been sipping ontoday. You know, a gardening

(53:15):
it says there's an alligator in Illinois. They're not alligators in Illinois. Will
Low and behold. He came home, and once he walked into the backyard
and went into the rose bushes,he said, quote, I looked,
and that's all I needed to see. There was, in fact a three

(53:37):
and a half foot alligator. Ohmy gosh. My initial reaction, said
Animal Control Administrator Ron Atkins, wasdisbelief, assuming that it was a stuffed
alligator that looks real. Yeah,no, it was a very real alligator.
And so they were like, wewe didn't know quite what to do.

(53:58):
So we did the best we couldand got a hold of it till
the Department of Natural Resources could pickit up. Obviously, you've got someone
that got one as a pet anddecided, yeah, maybe three and a
half fetes a little too big.I mean, they're mean, what is
it they used to say about thevelociraptors when they were they're lethal it?

(54:22):
What is it? How many months? And when I say lethal, huh?
I think in the movie they saidsix months, six months? Yeah,
But I mean, who really knows. All I know is I would
not want to mess with any alligatorat any age period. They're wired to

(54:44):
just to eat. I bet youcould handle a baby one in your hands
like you you can control and manipulateit pretty well if someone taped his mouth
shut first, I think about it. Then there's this, This is my
favorite story. Riley and his wifeare expecting a daughter, a child,

(55:06):
and they also have a thirteen yearold pet cockatoo. The cockatoo, recognizing
the belly bump on its owner,somehow got confused and started nesting on the
belly of the lady expecting a childso much so started to grab things to

(55:30):
build a nest around her belly andthen would sit on it. Territorial bird.
Well, I mean they've had thebird for years and the bird's name
is is Emma, and she saidshe's very supportive and in fact has helped

(55:55):
us through being so sick, notbeing able to have a normal pregnancy in
her nesting is apparently brought some comfortto mom. But I wonder what happens
when that confused bird sees the bumpgone and a new baby. But those
now, I had thought about gettingan African gray once years ago. They're
brilliant birds, and a cockatoo's notfar away. They're amazing, but still

(56:22):
animal stories On the Morning Show withPreston Scott, Welcome to the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. All right,now the phone lines are open eight five

(56:49):
zero two zero five WFLA. Thisis this is your time. If you'd
like to talk something over with CharlieStrickland of the Talent Training Group. He
will join us in studio to takesome calls. An opportunity that you have
to ask a question about firearms,about training, about ammunition, about tactics

(57:12):
when it comes to self defense,personal defense as it relates to firearms and
your business as well. I'm troubledby the number of stories that we're seeing
a businesses in fact, business isfiring people for trying to stop crimes.
What's is it called Lulu Lemon?Or is there a more? Oh?

(57:35):
Yeah, you got? Is thatwhat Lulu Lemon? Lulu Lemon? I
thought for a second Lulu Lemon.I thought it was some kind of you
can theory. Ritzy's store. Ithink most people say Lulu Lemon, but
I don't know. I have neverbeen there. So they fired a couple
of employees for writing down a licenseplate number of someone who stole stuff.

(57:59):
Yeah, yeah, I got thatstory here somewhere. It's just it's I
wrote it down, yep. Firedby They filmed shoplifters stealing merchandise, they
got fired. You'd think they'd rewardthem, give them a bonus. Oh

(58:22):
no, no, no, no, sore. And obviously we can't address
idiot owners. We can't address youknow, people that are saying, hey,
just take whatever you want. Butif you are a business owner and
you want advice, we're here foryou. We're gonna take calls if you

(58:42):
have a rudimentary question about the newlaw coming to Florida as it relates to
concealed kerry and the fact that youdo not have to have a permit.
We don't know everything. There's somestuff that's gonna shake out, that's gonna
end up in court, and we'regonna have to learn. We're gonna have
to see what's going on with thenew law. Because you no longer have

(59:02):
to get a concealed carried license inorder to carry a firearm on your person
in Florida anymore. You don't needthe government's permission. And that's awesome.
It's not constitutional carry, but it'sa huge step towards that. It's not
it's not enough, but we canstill talk about the issue and talk about

(59:27):
you know, for example, I'vehad people say, well, what if
you accidentally, Well, there's thelaw covers accidentally, and we did that
a few years ago. You don'thave to worry about reaching for something on
a shelf in your shirt, comingup and showing that you have a firearm.
That is an accidental you know,revealing of your firearm, and you're
not going to be arrested, prosecuted, charged for that. But we're going

(59:50):
to take your calls. If you'dlike to get in line, you may
do so. Now. It's oneof those things. This segment tends to
be one of those segments that startswith Charlie and I are just talking and
next thing you know, we don'tget enough time to take all the calls
because some of the calls take alittle time. And so if you want
to get in and get your questionasked, now's the time to do it.

(01:00:15):
I saw in an email that Igot love to get your take on
this. Your firearm guy, here'san idea. How about anyone with a
juvenile record is flagged in the NICsthat forces prohibited person until the age of

(01:00:35):
twenty one is a start. Thiswould give the deranged mind three years to
do something that puts them on theprohibited person list or better yet, in
jail. Point being that if somebody'smaking poor choices as a juvenile, they
can't purchase a firearm below the ageof twenty one, period end. And

(01:00:58):
the point of the email is whatthat'll do is that person that is going
to continue to make bad choices,they're gonna end up in jail. Then
they're gonna end up in prison.And that problem solved for that person.
But that it's a it's a wayof flagging somebody from making bad choices.
And you in essence tells somebody,look, you make bad choices as a

(01:01:22):
youngster, you're gonna be on thelist. I thought that was an interesting
idea. We'll talk to Charlie Stricklandnext eight five zero two zero five to
WFLA five minutes after the hour.It is the third and final hour of

(01:02:00):
this radio program for today, theMorning Showy Pressing Scotch Show forty nine thirty
nine. Over there is Grant,alongside is Jared and here we are in
Studio one B with Charlie Strickland,he of the Talent Trading Group. I'm
Talent out Doors. Hello friend,how are you? I'm doing fantastic this

(01:02:22):
morning. Feeling a little guilty aboutyour carbon footprint? Are you? I
watched the video I was telling youon the break, I was watched the
video this guy in the UK thathe was addressing the left and he was
talking about you want to change thisand change So I'm just gonna assume your
position is correct and that we needto eliminate all CEO two that the UK

(01:02:45):
produces. But keep in mind weonly produce one point zero three percent of
all global emissions, so we're notgoing to have any effect on global emissions
of CO two. Global warming isnot going to have be impacted. But
you don't care. You want usto do it anyway, want us to
destroy our wall life just based onblah blah blah. And you know so

(01:03:05):
I the way my brain works,I got I got to dickon and looking
at what's going on in if thetrends globally. You know, of course,
the latest information several years old now, but you know, China's producing
a third, almost a third ofall global emissions at CO two, and

(01:03:27):
the United States is at fifteen percent. But we're the leading developed country on
the planet. But China's catching upye, surpassing us. They're going to
do and they don't care the guyrunning China, you know, And the
guy made a really good point.I wish I had linked to the video,
but he made a really good point. As the leader of China,
his family was destroyed by the veryparty he rules, and he's hanging on

(01:03:49):
the power. And the only wayhe hangs on the power is to to
thumb his nose at the rest ofthe world. Do all the things that
he's doing. He's doing exactly whathe needs to do for China. You
know, we hate him because he'sdestroying our way of life and the rest
of the and putting their style it. But he's doing what China needs him
to do. He's, you know, just he's torturing people and doing terrible,

(01:04:14):
terrible things by our standards, butby their standards, he's doing a
great job. And he's gonna stayright there. And you know, all
we can do is label I seeDe Santa's got a big boost. The
liberal media has now said that he'sworse than Donald Trump. He's sinister,
So maybe go ahead, Oh what'sgoing wrong with the world? Everything is

(01:04:36):
blowing up? I mean, howfar remember how long ago was it that
toxic masculinity was the thing. Butyou don't hear it, right. They
change the word and I don't knowwhat it is now, but it's whatever,
it's it's it's anything that it wastalkic masculinite. I remember getting fighting

(01:05:00):
mad at somebody, some college professorfrom FSU in a medical school at some
event. He was just you know, and he looks like us. He's
you know, white dude, justbut he's obviously far left. And the
university hires him to teach upcoming doctors. And his big thing was toxic masculinity

(01:05:20):
and how bad it was, Wellthat's what helped makes I mean, my
wife would kick me out of thehouse if I wasn't you know, if
I wasn't an alpha male, Soyou'd kick me out. So you didn't
want some week. She didn't wantsome week, dude, You know,
she wants somebody who stands up andas a man, you know, you
know, a manly minute, thatkind of thing. You know, how

(01:05:41):
do you how do you you knowyou don't have to be a jerk,
and you don't, I mean,you can't be abuse. If you can't
do all those things, they're abad trends at some men exhibit you know
those you know those are criminals andand and narcissists and things. There's all
kinds of reasons you can be bad, but that's not you know what I'm
talking about. You know what I'mtalking about. Now, they find other

(01:06:02):
ways to attack us. So alwaysfinding a way to attack us. Don't
have a gun because you might hurtsomebody. You're don't going right on.
This is our Q and A dayhere on the program where we'll take your
questions about whatever you want to talkabout with Charlie Strickler about guns, guns

(01:06:25):
training, personal defense. I'm gonnacircle back and we're gonna talk about businesses
under attack, and I'm gonna askyou whether you're getting more calls or less
calls about that issue. Ten minutesafter the hour on the Morning Show with

(01:07:34):
hundred and something episodes. Now,I was going to ask you. You
and I started doing these segments,and then j D would come in and
the three of us have talked fora long time. And when we first
started these personal defense segments, yougot a lot of phone calls from churches
and some businesses asking about protocols andwhat should we do in our situation and

(01:07:58):
circumstance. I'm curious, are yougetting as many calls or are you getting
different calls? Now I'm not gettingas many calls. A COVID had a
lot to do with the reduction andphone calls for training consulting like that,
assessment. It went down. Iwas telling you on the break. I
mean, I've got a group outof Atlanta, that nonprofit organization at Statewide,

(01:08:20):
and we'll be doing some virtual trainingbecause they don't have to bring all
other people to one spot to doit. And you know, it's more
personal safety than active shooter but becausethere are people are in the field all
the time. So but it's stillhow to react. I mean. And
the church stuff, we were doingchurch consultations, church visits, you know

(01:08:41):
regularly, JD or I one wasout every week doing doing one somewhere,
you know. And I guess youremember the big event we did when we
had hundreds of people at the AutoMuseum. Yeah, we had a room
full of people packed to the brimwith people. That wasn't an empty seat
in the place. And it's justsort of and I think a lot of
it has to do with we're gettingmore people bringing their groups to the range

(01:09:04):
and there's more people coming to trainingand doing things like that. And I
think maybe there's only so many housesof worship in an area that most of
those places have established some sort ofa team and they have some sort of
protocol now. And that was ourgoal was to get the information out.
So I'm not And there are somegroups going around doing training that they're getting

(01:09:27):
paid for and they're putting out aproduct. They're not us or anybody affiliated
with us. But there's there's moreof it. Um you know, we
like to think we filled the needwhen it was needed. But now and
we're still here, we still do. We'll still do any house of when
I say house of worship over church, because there are you know, all
kinds of groups that may you know, we don't have a church, we

(01:09:50):
have a temple or whatever. Wewe will still pro bono. We will
still come talk to you um asas you know, look at your place
and see what we see. Jestand all that. It is still out
there. But as a law enforcementprofessional, as a security professional, and
as someone that spends a lot oftime paying attention to what's going on in
the news cycle, it's changing.It's definitely changing. How I mean,

(01:10:15):
I've got stories here of you know, You've got you've got security guards being
assaulted by shoplifters and then they're gettingfired. You've got employees getting fired for
trying to intervene and stop shoplifting.How is it changing? How you advise
people or is it as far asI advise organizations or advise individuals, business
owners and people that work in abusiness. Well, I mean as far

(01:10:38):
as employees. You know, youprotect yourself. Look at your corporate policies.
Listen, it's like you were talkingabout before I came in the Lulu
anyway, Lululemon, Lululemon or exactly. Yeah. So anyway, so their
employees and I read the article whileI was parking lot. I pulled it

(01:11:00):
up, I looked at it,and yeah, they basically their their corporate
policy is don't intervene. They justscan a QR code and go, hey,
we had a theft, and leaveit alone and let them come in,
let them do. Say that's what'swrong with the world today is that
we're just saying, y'all, dowhat you want, take what you want,
We're not to do anything about it, which just leads to more and
more and more, and ultimately itleads to violence. And so if you're

(01:11:23):
an employee and that's your store policy, there's not a piece of property that
your boss owns that's worth losing yourjob or going to jail or getting hurt
over let them take it. That'sthe that's the business. As a company
owner, I think you're stupid ifthat's your policy. I think you should
have security cameras. You should haveif you've got a theft problem, hire

(01:11:47):
some security you know whose job isto intervene. There's a lot of things
that you can do, um butdon't you know, don't don't have your
employee stand around like a like adummy during something like that, and certainly
don't for trying to make a difference. Charlie Strickland with me. If you've
got something you want to talk abouta quick question, this is your shot.
Oh did I just say that?Eight five zero two zero five WFLA.

(01:12:10):
More in the Morning Show with PrestonScott twenty one minutes after the hour
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group
and again I get time with Charlieand j D each month, a couple
of times a month. This isyour time if you want it. Eight
five zero two zero five w FLA. IRA, thanks very much for calling

(01:12:31):
into the program. What's your question? What's your topic? What do you
want to kick around here? Well? I got to the first one is
all day can so you'll carry inFlorida. I'm going to stop being able
to carry openly if you're fishing.No, that's not true. It didn't

(01:12:54):
change any of that. None ofthat came. No, you can still
that part of the the law thatallows you to open carry hunting, fishing,
camping, or going to and fromthose events or two or from a
gun range is still still on thebooks. Everything's the same, except that
you just don't have to apply fora permit or get training in order to

(01:13:14):
carry without a permit anymore. Igot a license and I'm gonna keep renewing.
I mean Georgia, So it's different. Okay. Oh, I am
a proud owner of an AAR fifteen. Good for you. Very recent now

(01:13:35):
I'm trying to overcome some of themand hails about them. Meal spec.
If it's Meal Spec, that meansanything are flatborn will work with it.
Most every R fifteen is in factmel spec because you can you can take

(01:13:55):
any part off of one R fifteenand put it on another. That's what
mell spec means that it meets themilitary specifications. So you can take some
parts off of a military rifle andput it on a civilian advice versa,
as long as it's not the partsthat make it fully automatic, right,
well, I only need many fourteenalso, okay, I think older Timond

(01:14:18):
bar in a Mini fourteen full thetrigger fires released trigger fire. Oh well,
I got to looking at these binarytriggers. That's what they do,
correct. Um, the you kindof got me on that one. I'll

(01:14:39):
be honest with you. There thereare several different trigger designs out. They're
the ones that fire wants. They'rein order for it to be legal,
it has to be semi automatic.You pull the trigger. Each operation of
the trigger. You can argue thatas you pull it that's one operation.
As you release it, that's anotheroperation. Um. Some of that stuff

(01:14:59):
is legal in Florida and Georgia.These are mainly federal laws. And I
really, I'm gonna be honest withyou, stumped me on that one just
a little bit because I don't getinto triggers. I'm not a trigger guy.
I like just a traditional semi autotrigger. I never have seen much
value in doing all that stuff.So, Hira, thanks very much.

(01:15:20):
I appreciate your phone call. Thanksfor listening to the program. How much
are guns changing? They look different, but they're not changing much. I
mean, they're our manufacturers basically makingguns that look cooler. Yeah. I
mean, so what they're doing isthey're taking the same basic operating system and

(01:15:44):
they're shaping everything different. It's ergonomicallydifferent, but the basic functioning of all
this stuff is the same. IMean. The most innovative thing that came
out in my recollection was when Glockstarted building striker fired systems back in the
late eighties, you know, orwhenever that I first saw him in the
late eighties when I getting in thelaw enforcement. Um, but pretty much

(01:16:06):
everything is you know, you hadyour nineteen eleven style stuff, and now
you've got striker fired system You've gotdouble acts, double single actions like the
six where the first round is adouble action in the second one, you
know, where you can cock thehammer or fire. I mean, it's
the same stuff. But as youevery time they'll come out with something and
this triggers a little different, orthis safeties, This got a safety here

(01:16:29):
versus there. You know, Smithand Whiston mp Eass came out with that.
We got a grip safety on it. Yeah, unlike in nineteen eleven,
which was designing early nineteen hundreds.Um, you know this this thing
has a hammer. This is hammerlists. Okay, well, but it's
all the same stuff. It's whocan make the coolest looking polymer? I
mean everybody's you know, a lotof people, a lot of companies have

(01:16:50):
copied and glock to the point whereyou can almost change out parts on some
of them. And you know,like the gentleman was saying, you know,
mill speck stuff a fifteens or aR fifteens, and they've been a
R fifteens. Now some parts don'tinterchange with other parts, but most of
them you can take an up areoff of one, stick it on another.
You know, is this whole pistolissue, you know, take the

(01:17:13):
take the pistol there, uh,pistol, brace off and set it in
another room, and all of asudden, it's not a pistol. It's
it's not a short ball rifle perthe ATF's designation anymore. Now it's a
pistol again. It's just you know, by the way, that's on hold
well in the fifth district. ButI would I would still not be snapping

(01:17:34):
it on air and put posting pictureson Facebook. And they go into the
rain shooting it. Wait, it'sjust give it a little bit longer.
You know, the whole point withthat is intent. You know, do
you have the intention if you getinto construction anyway, there's a lot of
the discussion. We'll pick up thereand go some more if you have a
question eight five zero two zero fiveto BFLA. A couple more segments.

(01:17:56):
Charlie Strickling of the Talent Training Groupon the Morning Show with Preston's out.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scottthirty six minutes after the hour of the
Morning Show. Charlie Strickland of theTalent Training Group with me A couple more
segments. You wanted to follow up. Ira had a couple of lengthy topics

(01:18:21):
he kind of brought up, butyou wanted to clarify things real quick.
I hate to say stuff unless Iknow something. You mentioned a binary trigger.
There's so many different triggers out there, and honestly, what people call
one thing confused. I get confusedwith what somebody calls it. The binary
trigger he was referencing is when youpull the trigger at one time, it
goes bang. When you let goof the trigger, it goes bang,

(01:18:44):
which seems to be legal federally,and it looks to be legal in Georgia.
I don't think it's legally in Floridabased on the bump stock prohibition,
the law that came out which wasseparate than the federal prohibition, because you
know, there was some case law, you know, district court opinions on
mumpstocks nationally, same way there iswith pistol braces and all that. But

(01:19:05):
Florida very specifically has a law thatmans that type of stuff and any device
that increases the rate of fire tocause a firem to be able to be
capable of firing faster than a regularsemi automatic. So, based on my
interpret interpretation of seven ninety point twotwo two, you would be illegal.

(01:19:26):
It would be illegal for you tohave a binary trigger that allows you to
fire twice with one full sweep operationof the trigger. UM. So anyway,
I would keep that many fourteen inGeorgia. The pistol brace issue we
mentioned, I think it's the fifthcircuit. It covers Louisiana, Texas and
maybe Mississippi, UM, but itdoesn't cover the nation. That said,

(01:19:51):
it's likely gonna gonna still end upbefore the US Supreme Court. Well,
legal some of the legal opinions thatare out on that means that it not
only is it just in that districtfor now, it is also only affects
one manufacturer and then the members ofthe organization that file the suit, not
just anybody, which how do youhow do you enforce that? So but

(01:20:14):
but I think, and Jenny andI've talked about this, we think that
that's just the domino that's going tostart the rest of the dominoes to fall
around the country until it gets itsgoing to go to Supreme Court at some
point in time. I would,uh, I would keep my pistol braces
separate from my firearms. I mean, what's what's the chance of somebody getting
a warrant to come to your houseto look and see what you have in

(01:20:35):
the first place, and then itgets in a lot of people talking about
constructive possession will Constructive possession typically meansthat there's an illegal item in your presence,
not on you. It's there.If you have methamphetamines in your car
and you're the only one driving thecar, I mean, we catch,
we catch you, as law enforcementcatches you, you know, well,

(01:20:55):
I don't I don't have it onmy person, yes, but you have
it in the vehicle with you.Well, that implies that that item is
illegal. Okay, Well, constructivepossession doesn't mean that you have a that
you have a pistol and a brace, and because they're near each other,
that's not that's not constructive possession.That could show intent to put those two

(01:21:17):
things together, but that's not constructivepossession. That's that's basically you know you
you had the intent to do this. Um. But then it gets really
muddy because if you had some PVCpipe and some gunpowder and some fuse and
some you know, well you mightbe making an iad. Well, I
don't know, depends on where theywere, if the cannon fuses in the

(01:21:40):
garage and the PVC pipes out there. But but you're you're in the well,
you get your your your your gunpowdersin your reloading room with the rest
of your stuff. I mean,how do you prove that? So there's
I wouldn't be overly concerned about anyof that right now. Certainly wouldn't be
throwing anything into trash, and Iwouldn't be unless I was going to be
going to the range with these items. I just leave it alone because you

(01:22:02):
know you want to you want topin and weld your barrel to make it
sixteen inches so that you can That'sfine, Honestly, I think it's I
think it's a little soon until thedecisions are back with the courts and all.
But you know, if you dowhat you feel comfortable with. My
stuff's just disassembled and spread out wherenobody can say I plan on taking that

(01:22:24):
stuff to the range until until saidtime. Yeah, when we come back,
we're going to talk about the rangeon the Morning Chair with Preston Scott.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott'sfinal segmentarily strictling of the Talent Training

(01:22:45):
group. And we're just talking overkicking around some random things. And I
was thinking about the fact, Charliethat what are your expectations come July first?
Are you expecting a lot of peopleto buy guns because they can now
do so without having to obtain aCCW. I part of me says,

(01:23:12):
I hope so, And part ofme says I hope not. I would
think that people who wanted to carrywould already be going and getting a training
and applying for permits and all.But I also know that that is a
barrier to entry and always has been. Anytime you have to make an effort
to do that stuff, it slowsthings down. You know, it's a
lot of how many people would don'tstart a business because they don't understand the

(01:23:33):
process of filings to get an anLLC or to get insurance and do all
that stuff. I mean, it'sjust a completed process and there's risk involved.
And now the doors open for peopleto just do what they can do
legally because they had the an alienableright to carry keeping, you know,
firearm for self defense. And nowso yes, I think you're going to

(01:23:55):
see an increase. You're already seeingan increase because people don't understand the law
hadn't gone into effect and want foranother month. But you know, it
is what it is. People,or they passed the law, they just
assumed that it's on the books nowand it's not. So you'll be careful
for another thirty something days. Justbe careful. So yeah, I think

(01:24:15):
you'll see more people coming out.We'll see we'll see a lot more first
time shooters. But just because there'sno barrier to entry now you still have
to go through the background check.You still have to go through the process.
You still can't buy a firearm ifyou're a convicted feller and you have
a domestic balance injunction against you.If you blah blah blah blah blah,
can I answer with something, Yeah, just because you can, doesn't mean

(01:24:38):
you should. But if you do, get training, get training and think
about how you're going to store thefirearm when you get at home. I
got kids. Who visits the house? Yeah, I mean who's in your
house? You know, if Floridalaw does require that you keep a firearm
secured if a child that what itsays is if if if a minor obtains

(01:24:59):
the fire arm and takes it toa public place and exhibits it or hurts
themselves or someone else or whatever,you can and will be charged with the
misdemeanor crime because you didn't secure itproperly. You have to secure it in
a way that a reasonable person wouldbelieve that that child wouldn't be able to
get it. Now, somebody breaksin your house and gets it, that's
different. That's that doesn't apply.So think about it. You know there

(01:25:19):
are some inexpensive gun safe now apersonal defense gun in your home you don't
want to lock that thing up whereyou can't get to it in the middle
of the night, but you certainlywant to put it somewhere that your children
can't get to it. So there'sa lot a lot of options out there
on how you can do that,from biometric stuff that I don't trust,
to push button things that you haveto remember, you know, the combination

(01:25:41):
while you comarry with each of theseitems. But honestly, if you if
you wake up so zoned out thatyou can't figure out how to get to
your gun, you probably don't needto be shooting the threat in your house
because you might not actually be athreat. I mean, I don't know
how much ambium you might have takenor whatever. But the fact is is,
you know, you know, youwant to be a drunk, you
know, way up in the middleof the night and shoot your roommate of

(01:26:01):
your spouse because you just want't know. I mean, So there's a lot
of responsibility that goes with firearms andgoing to the range. We'll see a
lot of first time shooters out there, and we're going to devote time to
that in the coming weeks, becausethere is a reality more and more people
are going to be getting firearms.And the thing that I love about your

(01:26:23):
range, Charlie, And look,there are public ranges out there, folks.
I've been to them. I knowyou've been to them. I would
never ever ever suggest a first timeshooter going to a polic range. I
just wouldn't know. It's scary.And the thing is is and if you're
if you haven't shot a firearm beforegetting one and watching a YouTube video and
going out and shooting it by yourself, probably not the way you want to

(01:26:44):
go, particularly if you're concerned withloud noises and over pressure. There's things
if you get the right kind oftraining will walk you or whoever is teaching
it will walk you through those thingsand make it less of a concern.
I mean I do a lot oflike up at the Dothan facility. I'm
doing a lot of training it therenow. First time shooters got a lady

(01:27:05):
bless her heart, got a fewyears on her and she's coming every Thursday
until she feels comfortable. You know, I have a standing. It's the
right way to do it. Yeah, and the guns she bought what and
the guns she needed? You know, it's in our counter for sale.
Used right now, and we gother into ones she needed and she's she's

(01:27:26):
going to she wants to be ableto protect herself and bless her heart,
chief getting better at it and she'sgonna be able to. Yeah, I
mean, and I applaud that.And that's what people should do, and
that's what we're here for. Findsomebody to walk you through. I see
a lot of stuff on social mediawhere people are taking to friends of the
arrange. That's awesome as long asyou know what you're talking about. We're
going to talk more about that inthe coming weeks with j D and Charlie

(01:27:48):
and our personal defense segments. That'salways thanks to the time. I appreciate
you coming in. Yes, sir, Charlie Strickland of the Challenge Training Group.

(01:29:49):
thing and it's tomorrow on iHeartRadio.So something look forward to. Brought to
you by Baronet Heating and Air.It's the morning Show one on w Felly
was back at the radio program inone hundred eighty seconds or last. TV
News blamed Republicans, not Democrats evenonce for the debt ceiling drama. Now

(01:30:15):
there's some that blame. Both partiesare to blame, but the deep drastic
fits rating pots are from the Republicans. And of course if they had their
way, it'll be catastrophic or it'llbe a catastrophe. They used words like
that, indicating, of course,that was a scripted word that the Democrats

(01:30:39):
rolled out and the mainstream media obligedand used in their stories for five months.
And you wonder why we have peoplesitting around wearing masks still brainwash,
grainwash, brainwash, grain wash,grainwash. Catastrophe, catastrophe and catastrophe.

(01:31:00):
You know, if they do thesecuts, it'll be catastrophic. You know,
if they do this, it'll bea catastrophe for our nation. And
we wonder why the water cooler,that lame brains that watch this stuff,
that pay attention to this stuff,just go around regurgitating it. Well,
yeah, I heard that. Asa Republicans get there away, it'll be
a catastrophic. You hear it overand over and over and over and over,

(01:31:24):
you end up believing it. Ohmy gosh. The old adage repeat
a lie often enough and you beginto believe it. Rand Paul has released
a conservative alternative to the debt deal. That's because what Kevin McCarthy hammered out
is not giant grocery chain giant foodfighting to keep stores open as theft and
violence increase exponentially. Laws work whenyou pass them, sign them, and

(01:31:49):
enforce them. Just ask Florida andthe illegal immigrants leaving the state in advance
of the July first startup of anew law that says, oh, you're
here illegally. Yeah, that driver'slicense you got from California, We're not
gonna honor it here. Bye bye. Yeah, that was good. Parents

(01:32:10):
chroming. You don't know about it. Look it up. Kids might be
doing it and it could kill him. Tomorrow on the program, Steve Stewart
will join us. We will haveJerome Hudson, former intern on the radio
