Episode Transcript

(00:18):
Hey, good morning friends, Welcometo Wednesday. You're on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott On Preston, He'sgreat Allen and it is April the seventeenth
show of fifty one thirty nine.My o, mind, what times we
live in? What is it?The website not to be proclaims what a

(00:41):
time to be alive? Let's let'sbegin with a verse of Scripture one Corinthians
one eighteen. For the word ofthe Cross is folly to those who are
perishing, but to us who arebeing saved, it is the power of

(01:03):
God. I want to take atake a moment with this one. The
word of the cross is what isthe word of the cross? There are
a lot of ways you could extrapolatesome kind of meaning out of that portion

(01:27):
of Scripture. The word of theCross, as I would explain, this
is the work of the Cross.In the case of Jesus. It applies

(01:53):
to no other person in history,which makes sense because no other person in
history has had the power to dividetime. The life of Christ was so
significant and impactful that it marked thedivision that we now referred to as BC

(02:22):
and AD. And it goes onto say that the word the work of
the Cross. And here's I thinkan important way to understand to those who

(02:43):
are perishing. We're not talking aboutthe temporal death that comes to us all.
Everybody's going to face it until thatlast generation that sees Christ's return,
that could come at any time.Jesus said that he didn't even know when

(03:07):
it was going to happen. Butthe perishing being referred to here are those
who have ignored, rejected, scoffedat, laughed at, mocked the word

(03:28):
of the Cross. The reason fortheir perishing is that they ignored it.
And it goes on to say,but to us who are being saved,
which explains what the word of theCross is all about. The word of

(03:50):
the Cross now transitions to an instrumentof salvation. When you understand the totality
of what Christ did, you understandthat it is that that point and the

(04:12):
work of the Cross, and afterthat Jesus did that enables us to have
the option of receiving that lifeline andbeing saved. And it is the power
of God. It's a powerful littleverse, like all of scripture, just

(04:43):
packed with depth and meaning. Sothat's how we start the day. One
Corinthians one eighteen Good morning, busyday, Charlie Strickland in the third hour,
Lots to talk about with Charlie.Who've got Florida Man, Florida Man

(05:03):
Factor fiction. We're gonna take youinside the United States Supreme Court arguments that
took place yesterday relative to January sixth. Stick around seriously, get some toast,

(05:24):
maybe mix up a little oatmeals andeggs, and settle in for a
while. And if you can't stayfor the whole show, circle back on
the podcast later. It's The MorningShow with Preston Scott. The Morning Show
with Preston Scott on News Radio onehundred point seven Double UFLA or on NEWSRADIOBFLA

(05:49):
Panama City dot Com Deep Dive insideAmerican Patriots Almanac. On April seventeenth,
nineteen forty two, the aircraft carrierUSS Hornet steamed west across the Pacific,

(06:12):
several hundred miles from Japan. Lashedto its deck were sixteen B twenty five
bombers planes never before launched from anaircraft carrier on a combat mission. Their
target Tokyo. In the four monthsafter Pearl Harbor, Japan's forces had surged

(06:36):
across the Pacific the Japanese were confidenttheir nation was safe from attack. Lieutenant
Colonel James H. Jimmy Doolittle andseventy nine other airmen were determined to prove
them wrong with a surprise air attackfrom the sea. They knew they would
not have enough fuel to return tothe Hornet, so they planned to land

(06:58):
in China. After dropping their bombs. Early on April eighteenth, a Japanese
patrol boat spotted the task force.Doolittle realized he much must launch earlier than
he planned. His airmen had spentmonths training but had never taken off at
sea. In the midst of ahowling storm, Doolittle got his plane off

(07:20):
the pitching deck and into the air, with the other B twenty five's following.
The bombers headed towards Japan, justtwenty feet above the waves to avoid
detection. The attack was a completesurprise. Many Japanese waved as the bombers
flew overhead, not dreaming they couldbe Allied aircraft. The raiders quickly dropped

(07:45):
their bombs on Tokyo and other targetsand sped away. Doolittle and his crews
continued towards China, where they crashlanded or parachuted from their planes as they
ran out of fuel. One bomberlanded in Russia. Most of the men
eventually made at home with the helpof Chinese who hid them from the Japanese.

(08:05):
The Japanese did capture several airmen,executing three, starving one to death.
The audacious raid did little physical damage, but it stunned the Japanese.
News of Jimmy Doolittle's thirty seconds overTokyo electrified Americans and helped turn the tide
of the war in the Pacific.I didn't know that we had we lost

(08:30):
men to execution. Wow, thatwas on this date in nineteen forty two.
Changed those numbers around a little bit. Fourteen ninety two, Christopher Columbus
signs of contract with Spain giving hima commission. We'll pay you a commission

(08:52):
of five percent now to seek awestern route to the Indies. Fifteen twenty
four, Italian navigator Giovanni di Verrazano, exploring for France, becomes the first
European douce sale into New York Harbor. Hence the name of the bridge Hullo

(09:13):
that's named after him, The horizontalbridge. How about that how about that
eighteen sixty That's the thing I loveabout these little stupid segments we do is
because it now I understand why certaincities are named the way they're named.
I understand why there certain bridges arenamed the way they're named. It's just
interesting. Virginia seceeds from the Unionin eighteen sixty one. Nineteen sixty one,

(09:37):
some twelve hundred American back Cuban exileslaunched the Bay of Pigs Invasion,
failed effort to overthrow Fidel Castro.And then in nineteen seventy, Apollo thirteen
astronauts returned safely to Earth four daysafter an on board explosion on their crippled
spacecraft. Oh yeah, I've gotsome memorabilia from Apollo thirteen, from the

(10:01):
actual spaceship, the actual command module. It's pretty cool, as well as
a signed photo by Gene Krantz autographedour successful failure is something like that written
on board with a picture of JimLevel. I just want I want to
try and get Jim Level's signature onit. Anyway, sixteen minutes after the

(10:22):
hour, come back with sort ofthe unofficial beginning of the show. I

(10:45):
say the word castaway or Castaways,and most of you probably think Tom Hanks,
well said, that was my firstreaction. Some of you not just
think of Tom Hanks, you thinkof the SS Mino and Gilligan's Island.

(11:07):
Now, do you ever watch oneepisode of the old Gilligan's Island show?
Yeah, I've seen it. Now, I'm not a ton I've seen more
like Mash and Andy Griffith right thanI saw of Gilligan's Island. And I
don't know why that is, butyeah, I've seen more episodes of those
shows. Yeah, Gilligan's Island predatedall of those others. Yeah, quite

(11:28):
by quite a bit. I meanthey would do some specials which are just
like naked stop. Oh really.They had like uh yeah, like almost
reunion type shows, many movies inthe in the like huh you know,
the the the cast Jim Backus,for example, who played thirst and Haw

(11:48):
the Third He was the voice ofMister Magoo, which is just a classic
cartoon. There are so many flawsin the entire idea of Gilligan's Island.
You know, a three hour cruise. How did they have all that gear

(12:11):
with them? I mean, Gingerhad sequence dresses to last years on this
deserted island for a three hour cruisethe professor. I mean, the Howls
had all kinds of things, butwe'll set all that aside. It was
a fun little show and some crazylittle scenarios that would unfold. I enjoyed

(12:35):
watching Gilligan's Island. I thought itwas funny in a silly kind of slapstick
way. But then you got tothe movie Castaway. Though there were individual
moments that were kind of sort offunny, that was not a funny movie.

(12:56):
That was an incredible movie. Tome. I thought it was really
good. But then I tend tothink Tom Hanks is an exceptional actor,
and I just have to suspend someof his political leanings. I just have
to put those to the side becauseI just really enjoy him as an actor.

(13:20):
I always have. I don't knowwhy. So when I saw this
story from the lead research assistant,I don't know if the lead research assistant
of the Morning show realized that Iknow him, and he's going to definitely
jump on this because the first wordin the headline is Castaways. He's going

(13:45):
to gravitate to it. And soit is that four quote experienced mariners,
which I kind of chuckle at becausethey were on a twenty foot skiff with
an out motor and they're in thePacific Ocean with that bad boy, and

(14:07):
they ended up not coming back.And it was several days later that friends,
family members notified authorities that they weremissing, and so the search began.
The search grid was pretty impressive,seventy eight thousand square nautical miles.

(14:31):
That's big. That's a lot ofocean. And so they were rescued.
How do you think they were found? How did they get the attention of
planes flying overhead? They used palmfronds to spell out help on a massive

(14:56):
beach. Wow. And when youlook at the picture of how they did
it and how they how large theymade it. Wow. Yeah. I
mean they built a makeshift shed andprotected themselves the best they could from the

(15:20):
elements. I don't know what theydrank. I don't know what they had
on board. We'll hopefully get somedetails, but a rescue package was basically
dropped until a ship could be sentto get them, and radio was sent
and dropped to them by parachute byone of those Hercules planes that I think

(15:43):
we probably referred to them as hurricanehunters, and so these four guys are
in good health, and there yougo. Actually it was a P eight,
a Navy P eight aircraft that droppedthe gear. It was US Coast
Guard that found him and a littleremote island stranded in the Pacific. Closest

(16:07):
US area was Hawaii. So thereyou go. Always be prepared. That's
all I can tell you. Beprepared, boy scout motto. And this
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Big Stories in the press Box this

(16:30):
morning brought to you by Grove,a creative marketing and digital expertise. Our
condolences to the family and close friendsof former Florida US Senator and Governor Bob
Graham, who died yesterday at theage of eighty seven. Born in Coral
Gables, went to the University ofFlorida Harvard grad served three terms in the

(16:56):
Governor's mansion from nineteen seventy nine tonineteen eighty seven, three terms. His
family actually created the town of MiamiLakes in nineteen sixty crazy but again,
our condolences to the family of BobGraham. He was a guest on this

(17:21):
program. It's been a number ofyears since I had Senator Graham, Governor
senator, you know, take yourpick what title. I don't know which
title he preferred, but a moderate. I think that he would probably be

(17:45):
pretty disgusted at where this party hastracked in the last decade. At the
very least, he's kind of likeone of those old school Florida guys like
Steve Spurrier, you know, likeborn and kind of that old South Florida,
those old school families, you know, those pioneer families, and you

(18:07):
know, he was a gentleman,just deep deep ties in kind of the
old Florida. Yeah, the oldstate as it was before you know,
mass modernization and you know, beachresorts. It was just a different time.
And so it's at least at thevery least, always very sad when
another member of kind of that oldergeneration of like our grandparents and great grandparents

(18:30):
and you know, just in theold guard of the Democrat Party as it
used to be. Yeah, withoutthe extremism and the fringe politics and anyway.
But again that, of course,I think Mark's a big story,
as does this want to take youinside Supreme Court listening to arguments made yesterday

(18:57):
by US Solicitor General Elizabeth Preleagor inFisher versus the United States. They're challenging
the charges that the Department of Defensehas brought using the Sarbanes Oxley Act,
which had nothing to do with anythingthat went on January sixth, and so

(19:22):
she's presenting and Supreme Court Justice NeilGorsich has some questions, if I might
so, what does that mean forthe breadth of this statue? Would a
sit in that disrupts a trial oraccess to a federal courthouse qualify? Would
a heckler in today's audience qualify?Or at the State of the Union address,

(19:48):
would pulling a fire alarm before avote qualify? For twenty years in
federal prison. There are multiple elementsof the statute that I think might not
be satisfied by those hypotheticals, andit relates to the point I was going
to make to the Chief Justice aboutthe breadth of this statute, the kind
of built in limitations or the thingsthat I think would potentially suggest that many

(20:10):
of those things wouldn't be something thegovernment could charge or prove as fifteen twelve
C. Two beyond a reasonable doubt. Would include the fact that the Actus
raise does require obstruction, which weunderstand to be a meaningful interference. So
that means that if you have someminor disruption or delay, or some minimal
outbursts, I don't think it fallswithin the beginning to require the court to

(20:33):
reconvene after the proceeding has been broughtback into line, or the pulling of
the fire alarm the vote has tobe rescheduled, or the protest outside of
a courthouse makes it inaccessible for aperiod of time. Are those all federal
felonies subject to twenty years in prison, So with some of them it would

(20:57):
be necessary to show nexus. Sowith respect to the protest house, yes,
they were figuring that. Yeah,they were trying to stop the proceeding.
Yes, And then we'd also haveto be able to prove that they
acted corruptly. And this sets astringent men's raya. It's not even just
the mere intent to obstruct. Wehave to show that also, but we
have to show that they had corruptintent in acting in that way. We

(21:18):
went around that tree yesterday. Iknow I heard the argument yesterday, but
I guess what I would say isthat to the extent that your hypotheticals are
pressing on the idea of a peacefulprotest, even one that's quite disruptive.
It's not clear to me that thegovernment would be able to show that each
of these monsters had disrupted protests thatactually obstructs and impedes and an official proceeding

(21:40):
for an indefinite period would not becovered, not necessarily. We would just
have to have the evidence of intent. And that's a home They intend to
do it all right, Okay,they intended to do it all right.
More Next on The Morning Show withPreston Scott, Welcome to the Morning Show,
within Scott. As was pointed outin a column on Red State,

(22:12):
theoretically, left wing protesters who blockroads and prevent official proceedings, in this
case, court proceedings from occurring,could be charged under the same statute as
the January sixth protesters. According tothe government, though it's different because they
somehow didn't know they weren't allowed toobstruct an official proceeding. How does that

(22:36):
make any sense as is written?How is a mema who took selfies in
the rotunda on January sixth, havingwalked through an already opened door, somehow
more aware of what they are doingthan a left wing protester who planned to
do what they did. It doesn'tmake sense, and it's obvious the government

(22:59):
simply doesn't care that it's applying thelaw in such a biased fashion. So
Justice Gorsich brings up sit ins atthe trial. At a trial, Kavanaugh
protests pulling a fire alarm, RepresentativeBowman, Heckler's in a crowd, Palestinians,

(23:21):
Palestinian sympathizers, and mostly peaceful protestsBLM. The write ups all indicate
that the originalist justices are doubting thegovernment's case, and they are doubting that
the government has any legal standing toapply Sarbaines Oxley, which was about destroying

(23:47):
documents and Enron to this case.Another big story in the press box.
House of Representatives on Tuesday formally deliveredarticles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro

(24:07):
Mayorchis to the Senate. Don't knowthat anything. It's probably going to die
there because the Senate's controlled by Democrats. But as this problem grows in its
scope, illustrated by just a momentfrom now, this will prove more and
more difficult for the Democrats because whatit will then look like that can really

(24:33):
affect down ballot voting is that theDemocrats in mass are going to defend Joe
Biden's open border and invasion of thiscountry, illustrated by this story from The
Daily Signal, an advocy advocacy groupbased in northeastern Mexico, that Lobby's US
lawmakers has distributed and posted flyers encouragingillegal immigrants to vote for President Joe Biden.

(25:00):
The Oversight Project says, quoting translatedfrom Spanish, reminder to vote for
President Biden when you are in theUnited States. We need another four years
of his term to stay open.Is there any one of you now doubting

(25:26):
why Democrats are allowing this? Theyare hemorrhaging registered Democrats, not just in
Florida, across the country. Ihave chronicled for you for years the walk
Away campaign and how it is thetip of the iceberg. People are fleeing

(25:48):
and they have to replace them,and they will do so illegally if needed,
happily without any because here's why theybelieve that it's morally right, that
it's just the right thing to do. And so what if. Remember Jonathan
Gruber and Obamacare. I wish wecould be transparent, but I'd rather have

(26:11):
this bill than not Democrats paraphrasing,wish we could be legal, but we'd
rather have Joe Biden continue this ridiculousness, or whoever's pulling Joe's strings to continue
being able to do that. We'drather have Democrats in power illegally than not
legally. Okay, So because weknow we're right, and we know we're

(26:33):
better, we know we're more enlightened, that's what matters most. So if
if there needs to be an invasionof the southern border and we need to
have some illegal voters, so beit. That's how they think. Don't
doubt me. Forty seven minutes pastthe hour, and this is the Preston
Scott Show. A few FSU relatedstories here. Spring Football Showcase is coming

(27:10):
up on Saturday, and I'll beanxious to hear the response the crowd has
to the condition of the stadium.My understanding is, and and they could
be I could be wrong on this. My understanding is it will not be

(27:32):
completed by the start of the newseason, that there will be diminished seating
availability this coming season. I don'tknow. My understanding is they can't possibly
get it all done because they've pulleda chunk at the stadium out and it's
part of a renovation that they're doing. There would be many that would say

(27:56):
that it was not necessary. Therewould be many that would say it was
necessary, that the bleacher style seatingis too narrow and they needed to space
things out a little bit. Idon't know. That's not my wheelhouse.
FSU Baseball Top five now they havemade the steady march and I think they're

(28:19):
getting better. I think that,you know, and a lot of people
forget that they really should have wonthe Clemson Series on the road. They
had, if I'm not mistaken,all three games and gave it up at
the end in the bullpen. Thisis a good baseball team. Link Jared

(28:40):
has pulled together in a very shortperiod of time. He's turned over nearly
the entire roster, and so that'sgood news. I thought it was pretty
cool. I thought I recognized her, Angel Gray doing some ESPN women's college

(29:00):
basketball tournament. She's an FSU guard. She played for Sue Semro, and
she does a very good job.I was really impressed and proud of I
like to think I'm a pretty goodcritic of broadcasting sports in particular, and

(29:22):
I was just it was I sawher and I was like, I know
that name. I think that thatgirl played guard for Sue, and sure
enough, that's her. We willtalk women's basketball by the end of the
week because a lot's being made ofthe pay disparity between WNBA rookies and NBA
rookies, and w NBA players andNBA players, and I want to talk

(29:45):
about that, But I also wantto give a little love. Got this
note. I know you're an avidsupporter of all things FSU wanted wanted to
bring something to your attention. Forthe second straight year, FSU's women water
polo team has won the Southeast DivisionRegional Championship, beating the University of Florida

(30:07):
in overtime. This past Sunday,the Collegiate Water Polo Association will be holding
the National Championships at Texas A andM and early May. Once again,
the Lady Knowles will be representing FSUas a proud father of one of the
players. I hope you can findtime to give a shout out to the
whole team for a job well doneand cheer them on as they compete at
the Nationals. They're not done yet, so fear the water polo spear and

(30:33):
that is from Jeremy Johnson. Jeremy, shout out to your daughter and credit
because I've never played water polo,but I've been in a pool and let
me tell you something. Treading waterfor the amount of time that they're treading

(30:56):
water and swimming and doing what theydo, that is no sport for sissies.
Water polo and oh, by theway, is brutal. It is
a very physical sport. So congratulationswomen's water poloers. Go get them in
the nationals. And I hope wecan talk to a coach or a player

(31:17):
in the future. Five minutes afterSecond Island, good morning, kids,
ruminators, friends, ladies and gentlemen. Wherever you are however you are listening,

(31:40):
thank you. It is the MorningShow with Trustin Scott. And yes,
this time of year, broadcast radiosignals can get a little flaky.
We are aware. We are atfull power. It is an atmospheric thing
called ducting we have zero control over. So always consider switching over to the

(32:06):
iHeartRadio app. And let me quicklyadd some have said, well, where's
I'm not getting local news. I'mgetting news from another part of the state
of Florida or another location that's allbased on whether you're using data or Wi
Fi. Usually your data signal froma cell tower will be localized. Oftentimes

(32:30):
your Wi Fi signal will come fromsomewhere else. It'll be originating from say
Orlando or wherever, and you'll getbecause that's where it's geographically located, the
hub. That's where you could potentiallybe getting on your iHeartRadio app, so
you can you can just switch andexperiment and see which is going to deliver

(32:50):
what you're looking for the best.But no matter what, you can listen
to the show live by streaming ninetysix three FM Panama City or one two
point five FM Panama City Beach,or you look for WFLA FM in Tallahassee
one hundred point seven or WFLA PanamaCity. Just look for those on the

(33:12):
iHeartRadio app to listen live. Thepodcast, of course, will be UH
will drop a little bit later afterthe end of the show. It was
a number of years ago we talkedabout it on this program, the number
of female teachers targeting male students andengaging in intimacy. I've got one story,

(33:45):
two deliveries of it. Please foundforty five year old woman and again
bad reporting allegedly admitting to no She'sadmitted to engaging in intimacy with a seventeen

(34:08):
year old student. Police show up. They get a report of a suspicious
car at the back of a roadthree am. Officers approach the car.
The teenager jumps into the driver's seatand tries to drive off. It's not

(34:29):
his car, the forty five yearold substitute teacher, it's her husband's car.
Yes, she's married and has threechildren. He crashes, the car
takes off. He's eventually found onsearch wearing boxer's T shirt and socks.

(35:01):
She's facing twenty years. She certainlyhas lost her job, and in one
report, that's where the story ends. Here's what's fascinating. When this report
was released and written, there wasother information available. The other information is

(35:27):
that the husband works for the Departmentof Defense. He's a Harvard grad with
seemingly a spotless record. Doug Wardspent nearly two decades at Strategic Command,
headquartered in Omaha. Began his careeras deputy Branch chief in two thousand and

(35:50):
five, promoted to deputy director ofthe Commander's Action Group in February. High
profile military guy and the nature oftheir relationship whatever. I mean, it's
not Jermaine. It's interesting that theFox story doesn't say anything about it,

(36:17):
but it's everywhere else. But there'sa bigger story here. It is a
much bigger story than this lady doingwhat she did with that student. And
that's the story I want to getto next. Ten minutes after the hour,

(36:39):
it is The Morning Show with PrestonScott, The Morning Show with Preston
Scott on News Radio one hundred pointseven WFLA. Why is it? And

(37:15):
I asked this exact same question yearsago, why is it that female teachers
praying on students is treated totally differentlythan male teachers praying on female or male

(37:43):
students. I'm not remotely suggesting thatguys should be treated with a softer touch.
I'm pointing out that we have somereally strange predispositions in our legal system.

(38:13):
In drug cases, minorities get treatedmore harshly than whites Caucasians for the
exact same set of charges, similarbackgrounds. They just are. In divorce
proceedings, historically, men get shaftedon custody and settlement terms. Traditionally there

(38:45):
are always exceptions, but traditionally there'sa predisposition towards women. Now maybe that's
dying away because so many more womenare now working and engaging in professional cons
I just believe no fault divorce isa mistake when fault can be determined.

(39:06):
That said, when it comes tothis violation of a teacher student relationship,
it is interesting. I was justlistening to Chris Hansen talk about this.
He's the guy. We've had Chrison the show to Catch a Predator.
He's got a new show take Downwhere they engage in stings with local law

(39:30):
enforcement across the country. Oh yeah, finishing move. Yeah. I was
thinking more of a wrestling move withthat show. Wow. Yeah, yeah,
from the top deck. Wow.And you should see the faces of
the guys that come in in theirface with cameras and Chris Hansen. They're
expecting to see little Joey or littleMissy or whatever. He pointed out.

(40:00):
Men tend to be looking for anonymity, tend to be Women don't want that.
Women want intimacy. They want toknow the person they want to have.
They build a relationship with that personand they think it's a safer type

(40:22):
of engagement. But there's always anelement of power and control, and with
female teachers it's the teacher student powerand control relationship. Now, this woman's
life has ended over this in termsof as she knew it, Her marriage

(40:45):
is likely over her kids. Imean, how do you how do you
deal with that? Your mom engagingin that? How do you do that?
But I just want to point outthat this predation is growing and it's
come back, and women are beingtreated differently than men. Still, is

(41:15):
it forgivable? Absolutely, Unlike predatorsof children, which I do not believe
can be rehabbed. These situations,if they're one offs, they're just dreadfully
bad mistakes and the prices is severe, and I think people can walk from

(41:36):
that and find their way to abetter life. I'm just pointing out the
inconsistencies in our court system and importantlyin our media and social conversations about this.
Sixteen minutes after the hour, BeVigilant Parents, Charlie. I'll join

(42:01):
us next hour, Charlie, Charliestricklying Talent training group. Chalie, it's
about it. Listening on his wayin right now. How you doing that,
Charlie. Yeah, We're going totalk about some media matters, important
stuff, personal defense. Third hourtwice a month. Why because it's dangerous

(42:27):
out there, friends, And wewill be talking over lots of different scenarios
this morning on the program. Doyou ever find yourself in a situation and
you wish you'd had just had theright thing to say, and you didn't

(42:52):
quite have it at the moment.It always comes to me in the shower
right about it day later. Yeah, I there were on a run or
driving in the car, some meditativemoment, Yeah, some moment alone where
I'm like, God, got it. I could have dropped that one in

(43:15):
won. And I'm always conflicted becausethere's absolutely a part of us that enjoys
the zinger back, but I'm notalways certain how christ like that is.
It depends on what the zinger isthe context, for sure. And I
absolutely believe because Jesus had some zingers, he had some zingers. I believe

(43:38):
a properly worded zinger can be highlyappropriate and useful given the situation. Take,
for example, this young man,eleven year old Arizona Diamondbacks baseball fan.

(44:00):
He is geared up, he's gothe's got his his stuff, and
he is absolutely ready. He's gotthe glove, he's got the cap,
he's wearing the shirt he's had abaseball game. Come on, right,

(44:20):
it's it's it's magic. If you'rea baseball fan sitting in a major league
baseball park, well, any baseballpark watching a game is just it's just
awesome. It's a it's just you. You almost feel like you you just
got that little bit of that dipin the magic waters that that James Earl

(44:44):
Jones talks about as Terrence Man inthe movie Field of Dreams. Oh,
they'll come, ray, people willcome. They'll feel like they've dipped themselves
in magic waters. I mean.And so one point in the game,
guy had to go to the bathroom, maybe go get something in the concession

(45:05):
stand. He's eleven, so youknow, he goes up to the whatever,
and he's coming back. He's attemptingto get back to his seat,
and then the tape rolls because aneighty year old woman ain't letting him do
it. See his seat, likeher seat is in a front row,

(45:29):
and so she's got her foot upon the cement barrier right in front of
their seats. So you know whatI'm talking to. Where you're in a
section and there's cement in front ofyou not other seats. So this woman's
got her leg up and he's justlooking at her like hello. She doesn't

(45:57):
move her leg. She blocks himfrom going by. Now what would you
and I do? We would putour leg down because our leg is in
the way. But what does shedo? Know? This crusty, old,
mean person not only blocks but saysstep over me. Barks it out.

(46:24):
He does. He steps over her, but she got mad and kicked
him. This wasn't grandma. Thiswas just some old, entitled senior,

(46:46):
crusty woman with an attitude. Shekicked him. It's on tape. What
I mean, She's an old woman. She didn't like bruise him or anything.
But it's like, really, nowpeople are all paying attention. He

(47:08):
says, I'm eleven years old,you're eighty. Get a life. Good
for you. He walks by,Get a life that's a good one.
By now she's likely been outed.Oh and I hope that there were some

(47:30):
individuals that came to the rousing defenseof this young fella based on even though
the clip died out pretty quickly,it sounded as though he got applause.
Good. What I want to knowis are the d backs going to not
allow her to sit in the stadiumagain. That kind of boorish behavior.

(47:55):
First, that's just rude. Secondly, legally, technically that was battery.
It was she touched him, butwhat a what a mean spirited And I

(48:16):
guess here's my takeaway and all ofthis. First of all, well done,
kid, Well done. You goahead and love baseball and don't let
those types of people get you down. But this is a memo to all
advancing in age people out there.And I know that there are a lot

(48:36):
of you listening. If you're thatgrouchy, stay home, And I get
it. You could just be havingone of those months, one of those
years, one of those decades.At your age, you should know you
don't need to be around people thatmuch. So if you can't be decent

(48:59):
and kind, I would be like, it's like when I see kids on
a golf course. I love itbecause it's another generation learning to play the
game. I love it. Somepeople are just wigged out by it.
I love it. If you can'tlove and embrace an eleven year old going
to a baseball game, stay home, Preston Scott, do or do not?

(49:23):
There is no try On news Radioone hundred point SEVENBUFLA noting the passing
of former US Senator and Governor BobGraham, who died last night at the

(49:51):
age of eighty seven, surrounded byhis family. Our thoughts and prayers are
with the Graham family and closest friends. Governor Graham. Senator Graham was kind
enough to be on the program severaltimes in the early years of the show.
We lost touch over the years,but again our condolences with the family.

(50:15):
Big Stories in the press Box broughtto you by Grove Creative marketing and
digital expertise. How is it possiblethat the US Senate could not take up
and held a trial an impeachment trialof Alejandro mayorcis well, I suppose,

(50:37):
because if you hold him responsible,don't you have to impeach Biden? He's
following Biden's orders. It barely passedthe House. The vote was two fourteen
to two thirteen. Impeachment articles forhigh crimes and misdemeanors. First article of

(50:58):
impeachment deals with a will full andsystemic refusal to comply with the law.
The second addresses the breach of publictrust for his actions creating and failing to
handle the border crisis. For thelast three plus years. It took years

(51:19):
before he would say the word crisis. Now, all of a sudden,
everybody in the in the on theleft side of the l is declaring a
crisis. We've been telling you aboutit since Biden took office. Also another
big story, Neil Gorsicch points outto the Solicitor General representing the Department of

(51:45):
Justice, Elizabeth Prelger. Justice NeilGorsich asks if the statute that they're using
to charge January sixth, defending includingformer President Trump, which is punishable with

(52:06):
a twenty year sentence, does thatapply to, say, the US congressman
who pulled the fire alarm? Doesit apply to Heckler's in a crowd like
pro Palestinian protesters? Does it applyto the mostly peaceful protests of BLM,
I would add Clantifa? Does itapply to the sitians at trial when the

(52:30):
Kavanaugh protests were going on? Gorse, it's just calmly eviscerated the argument by
the federal government. So we'll see. Most observers think that this could be
a pretty monumental switch in what's goingon with January sixth. Does it cause
people to be released? We'll findout we come back the extent of artificial

(52:54):
intelligence. It's the Morning Show withPreston Scott Personal Defense. Next hour,
Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Groupco host Talent Outdoors will join us.
We've got a Florida Man Factor fictionedition coming up. I read three headlines,

(53:16):
you pick which is the real headline. We also happen to have a
Florida Man Story. I love itwhen it works out that way, when
we can segue from a real FloridaMan story to Florida Man Factor fiction where
we challenge your discernment skill set.Years ago, and I'm talking fifteen years

(53:43):
ago, a friend who is wasa pilot for UPS. He flew those
large cargo ships all over the worldworld. He just looked at me over

(54:04):
lunch. He said, it's amatter of time. I said, what's
that? He said, they're workingto replace us. I said, what
do you mean, replace you?Autonomous planes. If they can figure it
out, they're going to do it. Do you realize how disastrous that would

(54:28):
be? But now listen to this. This comes from my Flying magazine.
Air Force secretary plans to get incockpit of self flying fighter jet During a

(54:49):
Senate hearing last Tuesday, Air ForceSecretary Frank Kendall told US lawmakers he's going
to get into a cockpit of anartificial intelligence controlled fighter jet. The flights
intended to allow him to observe thetechnology underlying the Air Force's future fleet of
collaborative combat aircraft, which will paircrude jets with fleets of tiny autonomous drones.

(55:19):
A second pilot will join the AirForce Secretary, but neither will actually
fly the aircraft, a modified Fsixteen, except in the case of an
emergency. They get into the costand why they're looking at this type of
technology. Kendall said, we havea cost problem with the aircraft that we're
buying now. Our fighters are veryexpensive. The F thirty five and the

(55:45):
F fifteen ex cost about one hundredmillion each. Next Generation Air Dominance MNGAD
will cost over three hundred million andwill be bought in small numbers. What
could possibly go wrong? Now,just for a second, I think through

(56:09):
because they couldn't really demonstrate it whenthey made the movie Terminator. They didn't
quite have the full technology that theyhad available when they did Terminator two.
The Terminator two shows a scene whereautonomous robotic AI controlled crafts kind of hovercrafts,

(56:37):
think of a real high end ospreywere being dispatched and sent to areas
of rebellion and just killing everything insight. The machines became quote self aware.
Now before anything like that happens,I just want to remind you that

(57:00):
a group of community college students successfullyhacked into a US military drone. It
was a controlled experiment. They claimedthey could do it, The Pentagon said
they couldn't. So the Pentagon tookthe challenge, brought a drone down to
Texas, and with parts obtained ata radio shack for about eleven hundred bucks

(57:23):
at the time, they successfully hackedinto a drone and controlled it. I'm
just asking what happens when our ownstuff gets hacked into and turned and used
against us. Forty six minutes afterthe hour, if you read something insane,

(57:58):
I probably did it. Everybody justsing along. I'm fout of mood.
The box is go ahead and googlemy name. Now that he's known
me to the sins, I havecommitted and we all feel man. We
have somebody whatever to man, andit's time for Florida man ever to man.

(58:25):
These UH stories are now being sentin by listeners of the program.
As the feature has caught on.Joseph Tressault thirty two shares a flat with
his roommate Elvis Singleton's sixty two.Interesting. Usually you're generationally a little closer

(58:50):
to your roommate. Saint Petersburg,Florida. Now, last year, young
miss Tresselt was busted for walloping Singleton. According to the arrest report, Tressolt
said Singleton's quote coughing noise caused himto punch the victim in the face.

(59:16):
Prosecutors subsequently declined to pursue the batterycase, so it was dropped. It
made me, you know, immediatelyI stopped there and think, did the
prosecutors hear mister Singleton's cough and decide, yeah, that's annoying, and we'd
hit him in the face too,I don't know. So we now fast

(59:36):
forward to just a week or soago. While preparing a pizza, Tresselt
told cops that Singleton quote started makingsounds like coughing in a way that was
to irritate him. He also reportedhearing voices telling him how to make the

(59:59):
pizza. So I'm guessing that misterSingleton was annoying with his cough again a
little pattern here, and then maybeadvising him on how to make better make
a pizza. So Upset trestled througha piece of dough on the floor and

(01:00:19):
then threw it again, striking thevictim on the head while he was seated
at the dining room table with hisback. So it was a cowardice throwing
a pizza to the back of thehead, and so he was. He's
admitted to tossing the pizza dough becauseSingleton was quote making coughing sounds that he

(01:00:45):
did not like. So he's beenarrested, booked in the county jail eleven
and fifty dollars bond, charged withcriminal mischief for allegedly breaking a piece of
furniture and has been ordered no contactwith his roommate and cannot return to the
apartment. Ladies and gentlemen, thatthat is how things happen here in Florida.

(01:01:13):
Part of me feels as though thatmister Treusseled needs to be joined by
Elvis Singleton in this episode of FloridaMan. But we'll just leave it with
the perpetrator of the hospital trip,or rather he did not need hospitalization,

(01:01:34):
but throwing depending on the pizza dough. I mean that could be all right.
Time for Florida man Factor fiction threeheadlines. Headline one Florida man breaks
into home, blames orse. Headlinetwo, Florida man poors bleach on neighbors
lawn after her dog urinates in hisheadline three, Florida man caught stealing beer

(01:01:57):
says he was just exchanging for holdones. I'm gonna go with number two
and you're right. Whoo. Floridaman pours bleach on neighbor's yard after dog
urinates on his yard. What aperfect lead in to our number three personal

(01:02:27):
defense. Charlie Strickland will join usfrom the Talent Training Group. Next to
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Let's do this show five thousand and thirty

(01:02:53):
nine of the Morning Show with PrestonScott. That's Grant Allen. I'm Preston.
Good to be with you, Ruminators. Wherever however you are listening to
us, We thank you very much. And again a reminder, this time
of year, the radio broadcast signalcan get squirrely because of an atmospheric condition
that we have no control over.No, it's not the federal government.

(01:03:15):
It's something called ducting, and itjust happens seasonally. It's based on the
sun and things that we have noidea why they happen, but they just
do every I think once or twicea year this time of year for certain
and so there will be changes sometimesin the signal quality. Though we are

(01:03:36):
broadcasting at full strength on all ofour stations. What you need to know
is that you have the iHeartRadio appand you can always just stream the show
live there. And now we arejoined by our personal Defense segment. Charlie
Strickland, co founder, co hostof Talent Outdoors, co founder of the
Talent Training Group. Hello, myfriend, how are you. I'm fine.

(01:03:57):
I listen on thatheart on the wayin this morning, I or making
fun of my name and all.I have to listen on our heart because
of the duct thing phenomenon. Itcauses my radio to quack up, so
I have to, you know,listen through the app. Glad you're on
top of this StuffYeah. Yeah.See, granted I didn't come up with
that in the shower or in ameditative state. That was just right off
the top of my head. Yeah, you're much quicker than I am.

(01:04:20):
That's what all right, so well, good morning. I ran across a
scenario, ran it across you yesterday, and I think it will take and
I think it merits taking a littletime. You've had scenarios in your law

(01:04:41):
enforcement career where you're knocking on doorsat various times of the day and night.
We've seen stories play out nationally wherethe endings aren't so good from time
to time. How would you advisesomebody that comes to a training class on
how to deal with somebody breaking inyour front door in the middle of the

(01:05:06):
night. Well, you know,as Florida castle doctrine, and this is
the same in Georgia and Alabama.If someone is forcibly and unlawfully entering your
home, they're coming in your housewithout permission. They're you know, they
have no lawful right to be there. That is, basically, it gives

(01:05:29):
you the right to use deadly forceto defend yourself, your family, your
home. That is castle doctrine.If they are forcibly and unlawfully entering your
residence, dwelling, or occupied conveyance, then you can use deadly force to
protect yourself. You don't have tolook look for their intent. They don't
have to express a violent intent.There's a presumption of violand intent on their
part because they broke in your door, because they well, if they entered

(01:05:50):
your door, they entered your dwelling. They don't have to break it in,
they just have to come in.So if you wake up the middle
night somebody's standing over you in thebedroom, there's a presumption they have violent
intent. As long as you know, we recommend that you identify the target,
that you make sure it's not youradult child that came home to visit
and wanted to surprise you or something, and you need target identification is a

(01:06:11):
big deal, which is why youknow we carry flashlights, have flashlights,
you know, have control of thelights. All that's important. That said,
that doesn't apply if it's law enforcementin the performance of their lawful duties.
And so, well, somebody's tryingto kick your door in, you
can shoot them through the door,but you can't shoot them through the door

(01:06:33):
if they're law enforcement and they've announcedthat they're law enforcement. That gets to
the issue, and that is announcementknowing their law enforcement and a lot of
things that are different in every singlesituation, Okay, and it's different in
different states because some states still allowno knock warrants. Florida does not allow

(01:06:53):
no knock warrants at the application process. If there is there are exigent circumstances
to where someone's life is in danger, then yes they can do that,
but they have to justify it onthe scene and based on circumstances and again,
and that's really a high standard.Sure it's life or death. So

(01:07:13):
it I hear some music playing,So we're coming up on the breaks.
What happens when this guy's hosted hisown show for a while. Now he
goes, we'll be right back.Well, I don't. I don't want
to get halfway through a sentence,and so stay tuned and we'll pick right
up there when we get back.Yeah, Because what I want to do
as well is I don't want tojust offer advice to those of you listening,

(01:07:36):
because some of it's just like commonsense, like don't do stupid things
that put you on the radar oflaw enforcement. But at the same time,
I also want to talk to lawenforcement. I want to I want
to put some things out there foryou guys to think about. You,
you men and women that are servingthese warrants. Ten minutes after the hour.
It's the Morning Show back with CharlieStrickland of the Talent Training group Personal

(01:08:14):
Defense. We're talking about what happenswhen law enforcements, whether it's local or
state or federal, knocks on yourdoor in the middle of the night and
then proceeds to enter your home.You were talking knock and no knock warrants.
Yes, so some states still alot of states still allow no knock

(01:08:35):
warrants. You know, they applyfor the warrant, they apply for a
no knock and then the judge signsoff and says, yes, you can
go in without announcing. Based onthese circumstances in Florida, unless I recall
incorrectly, and it's been quite afew years since I've applied for a search
warrant that we don't do no knockwarrants here now, So law enforcement is

(01:08:59):
required to knock on the door andannounce. Now, then you get in
some federal things, but state lawenforcement, local law enforcement is for sure.
Now, how long they knock,how loud they knock, how long
they wait for a response before theybreach and make entry, you know,
and if they are compromised, sometimesthey'll go ahead and go in and knocking,

(01:09:20):
Shriff's officearch want, share, policeofficer search want, and then somebody's
shaking the curtains and if they feelout, you're in danger and you know,
we're compromised, breach, breach,breach, they go in the door,
and it is a dynamic situation.But that it depends on the type
of warrant that Now. I wasin financial crimes, and we knocked until
they came to the door. Wedidn't breach the door unless nobody was home

(01:09:42):
and we've been knocking on the doorfor thirty minutes. Well, let me
ask you this, Charlie, inyour experience and the experiences of those that
you are friends with, that you'recolleagues with, that you know is a
is the serving of a warrant goingto be handled and prepared for differently based
on what you predict or feel likeyou know about the person being served.

(01:10:03):
Absolutely, it is okay. SoI worked in violent crimes, financial crimes,
We did paper crimes. We didreal crime, you know bad you
know, like violent criss And Iwas a swat team leader and we went
we have operational plans. Search warrantshave operational plans. We do an in
depth dive a deep dive from ourintel section and obtain all of the criminal

(01:10:25):
history, all of the information wetalked to the case detectives. All of
that stuff goes in through preparing theoperational plan. You're doing drive buys to
the house. You're getting photographs,you're pulling public records. You're doing all
of this stuff to make sure onethat you go to the right house,
and still mistakes are made. You'remaking sure that do they have children,
what time did the children go toschool? What do all these things go

(01:10:46):
in and preparing a search warrant properlyfor law enforcement. But still, I
mean, can we can we throwin a flash bang? Can we not?
Depending on how big a deal.If it's not a big deal,
you're gonna knock on the door.We have to have a uniform presence at
the door. There has to bea uniformed officer at the door so that
they can see that it's law enforcement. But when it's all boiled down,

(01:11:08):
you have to make a determination thatthe subject of that warrant and anybody who
else may be in the home iseither likely to be dangerous or not likely.
They might absolutely need to be arrestedand have their day in court,
but deemed dangerous or not? Isthat a fundamental bottom line determination? Yes,
absolutely, is what are the realisticchances? What do we believe?

(01:11:30):
What do we reasonably believe that thisperson would do if confronted? Have they
have they been to court recently forviolent you know, they had injunctions applied
against them, The nature of thecrime, the things that they may have
said on social media, all thesethings matter. All of this stuff goes
in and it's probably way more robustnow than it was ten years ago when
I was still do it. Whenyou say more robust the intelligence gathering processes,

(01:11:54):
they're probably using things now to getmore information now than we are available,
not necessarily the threshold MySpace era.I mean now they've got all kinds
of stuff I mean that you canget and there are whole sections that are
only their job, and they're reallygood at what they do is to just
gather this information, you know,and make sure that law enforcement has to

(01:12:15):
write information ultimately, though you stillmay not. You may be laying in
bed and you don't hear them knock, you don't hear them announced. Now
most warrants are served, you know, not at two three o'clock in the
morning. They're more like right beforeyou wake up. That's typically the targeted
time is just when you're really,really in that deep sleep before you wake

(01:12:36):
up. That's when if you're dangerousotherwise. You know a lot of these
cases you see around that are nationallyknow them are they probably should have just
caught them walking to the car inthe morning right or at work, because
there aren't any do overs if itgoes wrong. No, no, you
can't take for anybody involved. Youcan't take that back. And I do

(01:12:57):
want to talk about the conflict betweencastle doctrine and search warrants. We're going
to do that next, as wellas get into a couple of other things
related. It's Personal Defense on theMorning Show with Preston Scotland and we are
back set up very differently. Yeah, Charlie Shirkley with me from the Talent

(01:13:21):
Training Grip and personal Defense. We'retalking about what to do, what you
should do, what you need tothink about and you wanted to keep talking
about this scenario. There is infact some conflict across the country between castle
doctrine, which is pretty much thelaw of the land. You can protect

(01:13:43):
your home with someone's breaking in yourhome, all right, you presume there's
violent intent. Law enforcement, onthe other hand, has the right to
breach the door and come in undercertain circumstances with probable calls and a search
warrant signed by a judge. Andin here locally, they're required to knock
and announce and announce their intentions.And that's pretty much the way it is,

(01:14:06):
unless there's extra circumstances, even aroundthe country. So now you have
a situation where if I wake upin the middle of the night and I
don't hear who this, if Idon't hear law you know, and the
thing is is law enforcement they're knockingon the door. Well, how long
do they knock and how loud dothey announce? I've seen it done in
a couple of different ways, soyou know, we have to knock and

(01:14:28):
announcement. I've seen some search weren'tserved where it wasn't necessarily that loud or
it didn't go on for that long. And there are some guidelines that they
need to follow, and I do. But in a thirty something year career,
I've seen it done a couple ofdifferent ways, and now all of
a sudden, the person doesn't here, all right, So now you have
a legal defense for the homeowner.I didn't hear or see that they were
law enforcement. And you know alot of times they're not wearing they're not

(01:14:51):
wearing polyester uniforms. They're wearing whateverthey end that wearing. It's just tighted
to cool. And then so thehomeowner gets in a situation where they were
legally lawfully defending their home. Theyhad no knowledge that this was law enforcement,
no reasona believe it was law enforcement. Law enforcement, on the other
hand, had a valid warrant,knocked and announced, it's on camera.

(01:15:12):
Whatever they go in, they waiteda reasonable period of time. They go
in and somebody starts shooting at them, and they shoot back. So now
you have an untenable situation where neitherone of them is going to be criminally
charged because both of them were inthe right. The problem being that in
that situation, because of your trainingand any number of other things tactically that

(01:15:32):
come into play, like equipment andso forth, the homeowner is going to
be the one that ends up dead. Well in law enforcement is there are
a lot of law enforcement officers everyyear that are injured, particularly in swat
situations. That are serving warrants,it happens. It happens absolutely all the
gear in the world. I mean, I run a team. I don't

(01:15:54):
want to put my guys to adoor where the person's armed and it's potentially
violent. There's no reason to bein a hurry. And I've always differed
with some of my partners in lawenforcement is that I don't think flushing a
little bit of weed is all thatimportant. I mean, if I can't,
if you haven't been able to makethe case before you go in the
house, if you don't have enoughto arrest that person, enough evidence to

(01:16:15):
prosecute the case before you go inthe house, you really need to think
rethink your case. I'm not sayingyou shouldn't go there to collect evidence,
because you should, but you knowthere's there's ways to handle that stuff.
I mean, if your whole casehinges on the evidence that you're going to
find in the house, we'll catchthem while they're not in the house,
and then the house is empty andthen go serve the warrant on the house,
which you can do. They don'thave to be in it. Sure,

(01:16:36):
So I mean, you know,there there's When I was younger,
you know, I was part ofthe swat tea. I was part of
the tool the sledge hammer, thatwas the swat team, that is that
tactical unit. I have that trainI still do that training. I mean,
I'm all for it. I thinkthere's a huge role in an absolute

(01:16:57):
necessity for us to have in acommunity. However, not every nail needs
a sledgehammer. Sometimes it takes asmaller you know, you just have to
use the proportionately to scale. Whatwould you say, because there's the other
side that we've talked about off air, and that is the person that is
the subject of an investigation, andwhether they think they're should be arrested or

(01:17:20):
charged is irrelevant. They're in thatarea of gray where they're doing things on
the edge. They should know.People know when they're doing something wrong.
You know, you listen. Youknow, I I speak my mind very
openly. You know, we havewe have FFLs, we have businesses,
we have I've been in law enforcement. I know what the laws are.

(01:17:44):
You know, I constantly am reevaluatingmy situation to make sure that I'm not
doing anything wrong. But you knowwhat, sometimes the government can be you
know, they want to make anexample and sometimes I actually think about the
fact that what if they wanted tomake an example of us one day and
they wanted to hinge on some littleminor thing that we didn't think was of
any real consequence. You know,what would I do? You know?

(01:18:06):
And what I'll tell law enforcement issometimes knocking on the door and saying,
hey man, we want to talkis a better way to take someone into
custody than it is to show upat four o'clock in the morning. Sometimes
you got to go at four orfive six o'clock in the morning, and
sometimes you got to knock real loud, and sometimes you got to kick in
a door. And sometimes you're gonnahave to get in a fight to deal

(01:18:28):
with some people. But not everybodyis that person, you know, and
it's hard to but there's a lotof people that make those decisions. It
takes a strong boss to tell yourteam, no, we're not going to
do it that way. Sure,I used to hate it when they told
us that. When we come back, I'm going to bring up a story
set of stories from Australia and seewhat we can learn. Personal defense of

(01:18:53):
Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Next in the morning, show a
couple more segments. We'll get toa couple of emails that we've received in

(01:19:14):
your questions, but first I promiseda couple stories. One very notable story
at a mall in Sydney stabbing thatleft seven people dead at a shopping mall.
Guy just went nuts, just wenton a rampage and it was near

(01:19:40):
Sydney before an armed police officer endedit. Just a few weeks later at
a church in Sydney, another stabbingof the priest. Worshipers of the church
service were attacked as well, againknife wielding. We could talk all day
about how Australia's made this possible bynot allowing its citizens to be armed.

(01:20:03):
Instead, I'd like to ask youto revisit something we've talked about off and
on over the years, because weare seeing more incidents of stabbings. How
does one best defend oneself when someone'swith it has a knife, Run right
distance, run so they can't shoot. They can't stab you from thirty yards

(01:20:27):
away. They can stab you.They have to be up close and personal.
Okay, So somebody's coming at Sofirst off, if you can get
away, get away, because that'llnow if you can't outrun them, all
right, and that's very likely apossibility, he says, staring straight at
me. Well, I'm just sayingI don't run that fast either, but
you haven't seen me scared native exactlyright. Even if you're just running the

(01:20:49):
cover, you need to go.But not everybody can, all right,
So get away if you can.But there again, you've got children,
you've got you know, grandchildren,any number of situations, so you can't
run. So pick up a chairor something, a table, something that
you can put between you and themto keep them in arm's length, you

(01:21:12):
know, so that they're swinging theirarm, and they're gonna do a lot
less damage if you've got something that'sblocking between you and them. Jump over
a counter, you know, andif you're in a mall or something,
jump over the counter, get onthe other side of the counter. They're
gonna look for easy targets typically unlessthey're targeting you specifically, you know,
throw stuff in front of them.Gets something to put between you and them.
There are two victims I want toI want to address quickly here.

(01:21:34):
The ones that we're talking about nowthat are not armed, and those that
are armed. Are the protocols anydifferent for someone that's carrying a firearm in
terms of how to best address thesituation, which you mean somebody's trying to
stab me in I got a gun. Well, I mean there's well it's

(01:21:55):
an easy answer, yeah, Iknow, but but I'm gonna translate that
to then what do you do torepair at the range in that situation because
as you said, this is almostthis is always going to be a close
quarters attack, right, and they'renot always going to announce that they're going
to do it. A person witha knife can do a lot of damage
in a hurry. Yes, andwe have you know, law enforcement usually

(01:22:15):
twenty one foot rule, you know, whatever where you know for you to
and that's from a duty holster,where someone who has a knife can charge
you from twenty one feet away andput that knife in you before you can
draw and fire, assuming that thatwhen you fire, they're going to stop,
and that's not always the case.So someone with a knife is very
dangerous. So if someone has aknife and they're threatening you, and if

(01:22:35):
your gun's not out pointing at them, and you're back, not backing away
and putting something between the two ofyou, go around the table, something
that they would have to clear ahurdle or get around to You need distance,
cover, barricade something to you know, you don't have to necessarily have
to draw and shoot them, butyou need to be putting something, a
car, something between you and themin order to keep them from being able

(01:22:58):
to get to you. And ifthey come at they're threatening you with the
knife, a reasonable person will believethat that person's trying to harm you with
that knife. Deadly force is authorized, but you're the once got to live
with it, so you know,how fast do you want to use it?
When we come back, I wantto just follow up on that,
and then we got two questions viaemail. More with Charlie Strickland. Next

(01:23:23):
the Morning Show at Preston, scottOn News Radio one hundred point seven w
FLA forty one minutes after the ourfinal segment. Here Charlie Strickland again.
Talentrange dot com great place to goto get your training and to practice skills
that could save your life. Obviously, Charlie, this goes back to fundamental

(01:23:45):
number one, which you, JDand I have discussed at nauseum, and
that is situational awareness, being awareof the people that are around you.
Just seeing what might be in theirhand, what they're reaching for. If
someone were to go to the rangeand want to better prepare for this type
of scenario, we're talking about,what's the best way to do it well?

(01:24:06):
In knife defense, some do yougo back to your drawing from the
holster, whatever concealment and method youuse. Just going out and putting on
an outside of wasteband holster and drawingfrom that is useless unless you're carrying an
outside of wasteband holster. It amazesme how many people buy guns walk out
the door with a gun, noholster, no magazine, nothing. They

(01:24:27):
just take the gun and go,I'm reckon, I'm gonna figure it out
later on. Well, the perfectplace is right there, So you can
purchase something from us hopefully, orwherever you buy your guns at. But
you really should go ahead and outfitthat thing with some at least in some
way fashion as you can go trainwith it. So drawing from concealment.
If you're a lady and you carrya purse, you want to draw from

(01:24:48):
that purse. If you're a guide, you know, carrying appendix, or
if you're a woman carrying appendix,or you for some reason, select to
go with an ankle holster for someodd reason. You know that's never a
good place to carry your first gun. But you know, second gun maybe
pocket holster whatever. You want towork from that, and you want to

(01:25:09):
work, and we do a comply, distract react drill. You know,
uh, something we put on youtoo many years ago, and we still
to comply. Someone's trying to dosomething to you. Comply, act like
you're not a threat, distract them, point the other way, get them
to the officer. Officer he's got, you know, a knife, he's
got a gun, and to getthem to look somewhere else, step off
line so that you're not where theylast saw you when they look away,

(01:25:30):
and then draw your pistol and engage. When I say engage, I mean
pull the trigger. And you knowa drill like that, or at least
standing in front of a target,going from the hole, getting to the
concealed pistol, presenting the firearm andengaging. Maybe even not when the sites
are all the way up on target, but once you point towards the target,

(01:25:53):
make sure your support side of handis out of the way, because
if you had to lift your shirtor hold a purse or a bag or
something you want to you'll maintain controlof that. And a lot of times
this is going to be one handedshooting. But you want to be able
to hit the target from three tofive seven feet away, you know,
and you can do that without actuallyaiming most of the time, because it's

(01:26:16):
like pointing your finger at somebody.If you and to practice this, basically,
make your weapon safe and sit inyour car in the driveway when the
neighbors aren't watching, or in yourcar port where nobody can see you,
or in your living room or atthe range or whatever. And stand in
your living room, make your weaponsafe, take all the amo out of

(01:26:36):
it, work to slide, makesure it's safe, and then look at
something across the room or ten fivefeet away, something close. Just look
at it, close your eyes,point your gun at it. Open your
eyes and see if the pistols actuallypointed at that item, would it hit
that based on your alignment, andthen work on that skill set. They

(01:26:58):
just a little learning point shoot tosome degree, but your body's pretty good
at aligning things. You can closeyour eyes, point your finger at something,
open your eyes, and it's pointedat that thing. Because your brain
knows where your body is a relationshipto other things. Same thing with a
pistol. That's why you want apistol that you are very in tune with,
that you've shot enough to where youknow which way it's pointing. Because
under a critical incident stress and that'swhen split seconds matter. You know,

(01:27:21):
drawing and pointing and pulling the triggerthat first round or two is the most
important thing in the world. Atthat point in time. You've elected to
send something down range to stop someone, it needs to go where it belongs.
And in a close quarter fight,side alignment, stance, grip,
all those things, breath control,none of that matters. It is getting

(01:27:44):
the weapon pointed in the right directionand pulling the trigger. You have two
choices. You neither stick around fora very brief final segment to answer the
email questions, or you dictate ananswer and I send them by an email.
I got nowhere to go, Okay, I was just oh, hey,
I gotta go to work, said, he might get mad. It
may be late. I'm always late, so they'd be surprised I'm actually there

(01:28:05):
today. Bonus Content with Charlie Stricklandis next here a morning show with Preston
Scott back one more segment with CharlieStrickland of the Talent Training Group. We're

(01:28:26):
going to get to your questions.And first Patrick wrote in and asked about
a specific Florida statue seventy nine dotthree three Field of Regulation of Firearms and
Ammunition. Does it invalidate a givencounties requirement that all firearms sales on property
accessible to the public require an NICsbackground check. Yeah. Seven ninety thirty

(01:28:48):
three actually preempts all local ordinances relatedto the field of firearms, and by
that it says it invalidates all localordinates is related to anything to do with
firearms. Now, there may besome exceptions in there as it relates to
commerce. Sometimes the state will leavea little bit open for you know,

(01:29:11):
being able to determine where FFLs areand FFL related activity. But on its
face, just a quick read ofthe first part of that chapter, it
invalidates Leand County's local But it won'tbe the first time that Tallahasse or Leond
County had a law that's still onthe books, like discharging a fireman in
the city limits, even though that'sperfectly legal by state law. And you
can't enforce that. It's still sometimesthey carry those things on the ranks,

(01:29:35):
So I mean that's not an enforcedordinance anyway. Second question came from Roger
who asked, does federal law enforcementhave to comply with state law or could
federal law enforcement still authorize a noknock warrant in Florida? Okay, So
the way it works is you havelocal law enforcement who will assist federal agencies

(01:29:56):
serving federal warrants, and you haveof federal agencies that will assist local agency
serving local warrants, well Florida warrants. In Florida, the government, the
federal government can't exempt the local agencyfrom the knock no knock requirement. The
state, the county agency, orthe city agency helping the government the federal

(01:30:19):
government exercise a federal warrant. Afederal warrant can still be authorized as no
knock and would allow them to havea no knock warrant. So if atf
or DEA or one of the FBIshowed up and they said, we have
a warrant, it's no knock.You know, we need you all to
help us, local could still gothere and be the first ones in the

(01:30:40):
door based on the facts of afederal warrant. You know, it's then
you get into agency policies and rulesand liability concerns and all that. But
yeah, technically sure, I wouldask you what's coming up this weekend on
Talent Outdoors, but I know betterthan to do that because you won't know
until you start talking. I don'tknow. We're going to try to get
a good friend of virus in onthe show and talking about gathering and survival.

(01:31:03):
Hoping to have a guest Billy Baileyon the show is gonna not this
week, It'll be to next week. Thanks. Gonna be a good,
good move for us. We're pickingup some more subject matter expertise. Thanks

shared some of the oral arguments anda little bit of the pushback by Supreme
Court Justice Neil Gorsich related to chargesthat about three hundred and thirty defendants,

(01:32:11):
including Donald J. Trump, arefacing relative to January sixth, it would
appear that Justice Gorsicic and most ofthe justices are not buying the argument.
I would only ask why has ittaken this long to get this issue before
the United States Supreme Court. Illegalsare being instructed to vote for Joe Biden.

(01:32:40):
Actual brochures are being handed out quotingreminder to vote for Joe Biden when
you are in the United States.We need another four years of his term
to stay open. These are beingdistributed and it settles any debate over the
ulterior motive of Democrats and this sittingresident in allowing illegals to come into the
