Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Five passed the hour. Good morning, we're at it. I'll
tell you that, in fact, I just booked tomorrow's show
at six oh five Eastern time. I just I'm corresponding
with a guest for tomorrow's show. We never ever stop,

(00:39):
We just don't. Jose wakes up in the middle of
the night with wfl A news. Sorry, we are with you,
my friends. Good good to spend time with you this morning.
It's Wednesday, June fourth. It is show fifty three, ninety

(01:00):
one of the Morning Show. I'm just gonna read it
the twenty third Psalm, Psalm twenty three. The Lord is
my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie
down in green pastures. Just for a second, pay very

(01:22):
close attention to the verbiage. He makes me lie down
in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He
restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness

(01:46):
for his name's sake, For his Name's sake, And even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare

(02:09):
a table before me. In the presence of my enemies.
Get your mind around that. Just, I mean, do a
little literalism. Here a picture is being painted with these words.

(02:32):
Think of enemies that we might have, and just for
the sake of not personalizing this, just think of the
demonic horde that hates you and wants you to be
miserable and wants you to just deny God and to
deny the power of the Cross in your life and
to just live a godless, selfish, self serving, vile life

(02:58):
full of sin. Okay, they're all there, and God's like,
have some shrimp, little lobster, little garlic bread with that? Huh?
Would you like for dessert a nice cold Coca cola
to sip on while you dine? Think about this. You

(03:22):
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,
and you're like, Hi, boys, how you doing. I'm not
worried about you, lobster steak? Anybody? Oh not hungry?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Mind, mind, fine, Okay. You annoint my head with oil.
My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life, and I shall dwell
in the house of the Lord for ever. When you're

(04:12):
up against it Psalm twenty three. Man that that's paper clip,
that's flag, that's dog ear, that's you know that little
stringy thingy bookmark thing that bibles have that that that's
one of those places you put something the twenty third
Psalm or you just committed to memory Psalm twenty three. Yeah,

(04:41):
tastes good, goes down smooth. Yeah, I hope. Uh you're
ready for a good show. So saddle up, Pardner, because
we're going to do our very best today. Is we
always try. Got a lot of lot of stories and

(05:04):
the big stories. Who hi, Yeah, So stick around. It's Wednesday.
Take a look at this date and history. Next on
The Morning Show with Preston Sky, Levin passed the hour.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
They called him the Paul Revere of the South. His
ride isn't so well remembered, but it was every bit
as daring. June seventeen eighty one, late in the Revolutionary War,
the British Army had overrun much of Virginia. Patriot turned
trader Benedict Arnold had pillaged his way up to James

(05:51):
River to Richmond, forcing Governor Thomas Jefferson and the legislature
to flee west to Charlottesville. Lord Cornwall Wallace ordered Colonel
Bannistray Tarleton to lead a surprise raid on Charlottesville to
capture Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Richard Henley Lee and other assemblymen.

(06:12):
Bloody Band set out with about two hundred and fifty
mounted troops to nab the unsuspecting Virginians. But on the
night of June third, Captain Jack Jewett of the Virginia
Militia was at the Cuckoo Cavern tavern in Louisa County,
asleep on the lawn. According to some accounts, when the

(06:34):
passing cavalry awakened him. Guessing what they were up to,
the twenty seven year old Jewip.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Lapped, lapped, lapt leapt, leaped, leaped, I say, on his
horse and galloped off to Charlottesville, forty miles away. He
got there before Tarleton. By the way, little tidbit of
little movie and history. If you've ever seen movie The Patriot, Tavington,

(07:05):
the guy who leads the cavalry there, that's based on
this guy Tarleton. That whole character is based on this guy.
So Colonel Banistra Tarleton, if you read about him and history,
his exploits are kind of summarized in that character in
the movie The Patriot. Bad dude, bad dude, so, Jack Jewett,

(07:31):
Warren Thomas Jefferson. The British were coming in seventeen eighty
one on this day. He got there. He beat them there.
Though he might have been, say, a little hungover, sleeping
on the lawn, he got it done. And a boy,
so we say thank you. Seventeen ninety two, Captain George

(07:51):
Vancouver claims Puget Sound for Britain. Whatever Vancouver though Vancouver,
Vancouver British Club. That's it's name for this guy. See
eighteen ninety six. Henry Forward makes a successful nighttime test
drive of his first horseless carriage. Didn't want to be

(08:13):
seen during the day case it didn't work out, so
he did it at night. Didn't want to be embarrassed
have people see it, so he did it at night.
The Quadra cycle, that's what it was called at the time.
The Quadra cycle. Did it in the streets of Destois
the Americans knowed Detroit nineteen twenty seven, Wooster, mass The

(08:38):
United States beats Britain to wins golf's first Ryder Cup.
Of course we did it. Got so bad, We beat
the Brits so badly. Jack Nicholas finally said, we need
you guys to include the rest of Europe. And that's
what they did. Jack Nicholas made the suggestion that the

(08:59):
Brits open up their team to all of Europe. So
instead of the United States versus Britain, it's now the
United States versus Europe. And that's what made it competitive.
You've got players from Spain and Sweden and Denmark and
Germany and all kinds of other places. Let's see Battle
Midway nineteen forty two begins on this date. That's a

(09:22):
great old movie. By the way, the Battle of Midway
Midway is the name of it. Great, great, great movie,
it really is. So that's June fourth. It is National
Hug your Cat Day. Look, if you have one, that's

(09:44):
all you do. It just sits on your lap. If
it's not plotting your death. I've said this, cats are plotting.
If cats could, they'd kill you. But they can't. So
they they're like, okay, I'll let you just feed me.
You feed me, you pet me. I do virtually. I

(10:06):
don't bring you anything. I just comfort I suppose by
letting you do what you do, which is cater to me.
Do you ever wonder why the first three letters in
the word cater are c at just say, just saying.
See that's that cat's invented the word cater. But it's

(10:32):
National Hug your Cat Day, so hug your kiddy, National
Clean Beauty Day, whatever that means, National Cognac Day. Okay.
Have you ever had kangnac?

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, not a fan. Yeah, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know.
National Cheese Day, Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've met few
cheeses I don't like few. And it's National Old Maid's Day.
Yeah it is. Okay. Seventeen after the hour, great story

(11:15):
of rescue. Next, okay, then this just sound happy. This
is wake up music.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Get your hands over your belly and tied to touch
your toes to the bit of the music.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Little twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist,
twists twists. It's just yeah, this is wake up music,
a little aerobic, little jazzer size huh yeah. Twenty three
past the hour. We chronicle stories of adventure here because

(12:06):
these are things that people do that we wouldn't and
so I think it interests us. The person that says
they're going to kayak across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii
or across the Atlantic to England or to France or wherever.
And they have these big old kayaks that have a

(12:28):
pod type construction feature where they can get out of
the weather it remains buoyant, And you're like, really, in
this case, it's a couple decided to hire a couple
of people as their crew. They brought their dogs on

(12:49):
their catamaran and decided to sail from travel a globe.
They they I just I marvel at people that try this,
but at the same time I question the wisdom. Sometimes

(13:12):
this isn't your typical catamaran. This is this is a
good sized boat. So maybe in that sense it's kind
of it is a typical one. And I guess the
point I'm trying to make, and I'm not doing it
very well, is you need something that's not a typical
catamaran if you're gonna try this type of thing. I mean,
if you look at it, you're like, where in the world,

(13:33):
how can you How can four people and two dogs
live on this thing? I mean, just the poo poo
alone of the dogs is just gross. Let alone four people,
and you gotta you gotta deal with all that bottom
line is they got caught up in a storm. The

(13:55):
masts of the catamaran got broken off, and they were
heading to Fiji when the storm hit. And so there
are one hundred and seventy nautical miles from the island
of New Caledonia with no real way of propulsion. Now,

(14:18):
if you know anything about sailing, you know that if
you do not have the ability, if you have no power,
no steering, you can't control the direction of your ship.
As waves are, you know, are moving, it's just a
matter of time before you get tossed. And so they

(14:40):
ended up they saw in the horizon this this what
they thought was a ship fired off a flare lo
and behold it was a Carnival cruise liner. It was

(15:00):
just happened to be cruising the area the Carnival Splendor
in the South Pacific. And so the Captain Edward of Feron,
they gave it a shot May twenty second, just a
couple weeks back. They he said, approaching was such a

(15:25):
huge vessel on a small catamaran is really something you
need to be careful because it just takes a little
mistake and you may sink them. And so they were
able to literally pull them up on the ship, and
the dogs, I don't know where you put them. I
don't know if there's like extra staterooms that are available

(15:46):
just for these types of things that they keep a
couple available for emergencies. I have no idea. Maybe it
wasn't sold out on board the ship. The couple said
their dogs became instant celebrities as they strolled the deck.
I would imagine they weren't expecting if you were allergic
to dogs. Could you imagine you go on this cruise
thinking I'm safe, no animals on board, and suddenly, no

(16:13):
matter how cute they are, if you're allergic to dogs,
you're allergic to dogs. And so the couple decided to
get engaged. They almost got married on the ship. They
almost asked the captain to do it. That's what I
would have done if I'm them and I survived that,
I'm like, now, if I'm the chick, dude, now, buddy, now,

(16:38):
you almost killed me? Now or never? Twenty eight minutes
past the hour, did you imagine trying to sail them? No? No, no,
no no, it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I

(17:07):
think it went something like this, I'm not sure the
Florida University System Board of Governors is gonna rubber stamp
the choice of Santa Ono as the next president of
the University of Florida. You remember me talking about that.

(17:27):
How does a guy that has embraced Dei in all
of these other things? First, how did he get unanimously
picked as the next president of the University of Florida.
He got unanimously selected by the Florida Board of Trustees,
but the state Board of Governors said no, and they
rejected it, so he doesn't have the job. It is

(17:55):
really upset some folks, including a few mega donors to
the GOP that that were behind the pick, namely Trustee
Chairman Mari Hossini or Ho Senni we we we We

(18:17):
shared one of Ono's statements when he was at the
University of Michigan, claiming the systemic racism and the sins
and all of that stuff that that is embedded in
our in our culture, that that's just it's just part
of it. Now he says that his views have evolved
dramatically and that Florida is going in the right direction

(18:40):
with eliminating Dei and so forth. The problem is ten
of the sixteen members of the Board of Governors just
wouldn't let him off the hook. They just said, we're
not buying the dramatic turnaround. It's not just that it
was the the handling of the protests on campus, or

(19:03):
the lack of handling of protests on campus supporting Palestine
and Hamas. It's his thoughts on climate change and the
politicization of it. It's it's just I didn't think he
was going to get past. There are members of the

(19:28):
Board of Governors that are just how dare we it's
normally just an up or down vote. Well, brother, they
gave him a down vote, but they they wanted to
get answers before they took the vote, to make sure
that what they were going to do was was they
felt accurate. So the University of Florida's back to the

(19:48):
drawing board board of trustees says, look, that's why you
have a board of trustees. If he doesn't live up
to what he's committing to, we're there for him, We're
there for you, we're your intermediary. But that did not
convince the Board of Governors. Elon Musk slammed the reconciliation

(20:14):
bill that's in the Senate right now getting whittled on.
I don't disagree with Elon Musk and his criticisms, but
there's more to this story that I think we need
to take a little time with. So stay with me.

(20:36):
Forty minutes past the hour, more from the press box next.
Forty one minutes after we heard the defense of the
debt limit increase that you had to have room. My

(21:00):
problem is that at what point have we ever expanded
the debt limit and not spent to it. That's what
we do. You have to raise the debt limit because
we're gonna go above it before we get below it.

(21:21):
So you got to raise it up, but we've never
shown the discipline to keep it below it. Now, Steven
Miller's out there and Donald Trump is just tearing Rand
Paul apart. And this is the dirty side of Trump
that I don't like. If you disagree with him, you're

(21:44):
an enemy. Rand votes no on everything, never has any
practical or constructive ideas. His ideas are actually crazy losers.
The people of Kentucky can't stand him. This is a
big growth bill, and Paul has very little understanding of
the big beautiful bill, especially the tremendous growth that's coming.

(22:05):
He loves voting no on everything. He thinks it's good politics,
but it's not. The BBB is a big winner. And
then he continues his attack on Rand Paul. I want
to let Rand Paul, this is on CBS face the nation.
I just ask you to listen and tell me what's unreasonable.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
We hear from other Senators who also get complaints from
their people and their districts, but they're falling in line.
Do you have three other Republicans who will stand with
you to block this bill.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
I think there are four of us at this point,
and I would be very surprised if the bill at
least is not modified in a good direction. Look, I
want to vote for it. I'm for the tax cuts.
I've voted for the tax cuts before. I want the
tax cuts to be permanent. But at the same time,
I don't want to raise the debt sealing five trillions.
So I've told him, if you take the debt ceiling
off the bill, in all likelihood, I can vote for

(23:00):
what the agreement is on the rest of the bill,
and it doesn't have to be perfect to my liking.
But I can't be if I vote for the five
trillion dollar debt. Who's left in Washington that cares about
the debt?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
We will have lost.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
But the glpeople own the debt once they vote for this.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
But the leader, as you know, is sort of in
a tight spot here. He needs a vehicle to raise
that debt ceiling. Otherwise you had turn to Democrats to
get that done. What was the White House response when
you asked that to the President.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well, historically, the debt ceiling's always gone up and will
always go up, and I'm not proposing that it doesn't.
But the people who should vote for the people who
vote for the spending. Historically, all the Democrats vote for
raising the debt ceiling and about fifteen big government Republicans.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Vote for it.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
This will be the first time it's voted on just
by Republicans. This will be the first time that Republicans
own the debt. They already owned the spending. In March,
we continue, not me, but most Republicans vote to continue
the Biden spending levels. So you remember the campaign I'm
a Biden ames and Biden inflation and Biden spending levels. Well,
the Republicans all voted to keep the Biden spending levels.

(24:05):
And that's why the deficit this year is going to
be two point two trillion dollars this year.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
So you think this is bad politics for Republicans. Some
of your Republican colleagues, like Josh Holly are saying that
changes to Medicaid are bad politics for America's working people
and for your party.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
I think it was a bad strategy. I think the
tax cuts are good for the economy. When we've cast
the tax cuts in twenty seventeen, the economy grew like gangbusters.
We had lowest unemployment historically. It was the great achievement
of Trump's first administration. They should have been satisfied by
just doing the tax part of this and not getting
involved into the debt part of it.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
All I'm asking is is there anything unreasonable about what
he just said? And they're trying to paint him as
these are the Rand Paul tax increases. It's just patently
unfair and wrong. The Demo, the the Republicans, Stephen Miller,

(25:09):
President Trump. They're doing exactly what George Bush did, George W.
Bush when he said it's a reduction in the amount
of deficit spending. Yes, it is. They're still spending too
much See, that's the thing. We're just adding more debt.

(25:30):
And unless there's a concrete plan to not just eliminate
the deficit spending, not just rather reduce it, but eliminate
it and start paying off the debt. I'm I'm with
rand Paul. This bill has to pass, but I agree
with him. It needs to have changes. And what did

(25:51):
you say? It doesn't have to be perfect. I don't
have to like everything in there, but we can't keep
adding debt. All I'm asking you to consider is is
there anything he said that's unreasonable then that you disagree with?
Forty six minutes after the hour, now there's some really

(26:12):
good news about the economy. We'll get to that next.
See if I can get through a couple of stories here.
Before the top of the hour, the Atlanta Fed cranked
out some interesting data, just quoting from a release from
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The growth rate of

(26:33):
real gross domestic product is a key indicator of economic activity,
but the official estimate is released with delay. Our GDP
now forecasting models provides a now cast of the official
estimate prior to its release by estimating GDP growth using
a methodology similar to the one used by the US

(26:54):
Bureau of Economic Analysis. The now model estimate for real
GDP growth seasonally adjusted annual rate in the second quarter
of twenty twenty five is four point six percent, up
from three point eight percent on May thirtieth. After this

(27:14):
morning's release from the US Census Bureau and the Institute
of Supply Management, the now casts of second quarter real
personal consumption expenditures growth, and real growth private domestic investment
growth increased from three point three percent and negative one
point four percent, respectively, to four percent and zero point

(27:34):
five percent. The news comes just after the US hit
a record high oil production number. Remember when we heard
all the oil productions never coming back. We're less than them.
We're less than six months in and it's coming back.

(28:02):
The White House released a statement the economic agenda is working.
Inflation is down, income is up, the trade deficit just
fell by the largest amount on record, and today's economic
report follows multiple robust jobs reports, blow expectation, inflation numbers,
and strong bump and consumer confidence. This is from CNBC's

(28:23):
Rick Santelli. The income numbers really for the first four
months of the year, they're stellar. This administration is criticized
for just about everything under the sun. Why don't we
give credit where credit is due? Income is shooting up.
This underscores the need of keeping the tax cuts, if

(28:44):
not moving towards a complete overhaul of tax code. We
know that, but this also speaks to Okay, the economy's
revving up, why do we feel the need to spend more.
I'm all about let's codify the doze cuts. Congress can

(29:06):
only do that. Congress has to do that. Let's look
at those savings and let's reallocate money moving forward. The
reconciliation process, I know, has limits. There's just so much
they can do. And so I can buy into the
notion if we have a plan to get to a

(29:26):
budget that puts things in the right path, I'd vote
for a limited increase in the debt as long as
we have the plan. This is it. Here's where we're going.
The debt will start being paid on next year. Okay, sold,
but you get that. It has to start happening next year.

(29:48):
But we're not there yet. Hopefully the demands of senators
like Rand Paul and others will be met with with
some serious negotiating. The family of the illegal Bolder terrorists,
the Obiden bolder terrorists, families being deported. They've arrested the

(30:09):
wife and the children. It reminds me of the story
of Jonah. The actions of one impact others in a way.
I kind of feel sorry for his kids. It's not
their fault, but dad seems. Dad was trying to buy

(30:33):
a gun, he couldn't because he was here illegally. He
was going to shoot a bunch of people, and he
got brought in by Biden on a work visa. Man.
All right, let's go to our number two. We've got
some fascinating stories to start the second hour next on

(30:54):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's start the second
hour here The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Wednesday, June fourth,
Show fifty three to ninety one. You're gonna get to

(31:15):
show fifty four hundred in the next couple of weeks.
How about that. There's Jose resplendent in the black shirt,
the chained cross over the top of the shirt with
a black leather jacket, looking like a Cuban Mexican hit man.

(31:38):
Great to be with you. I want you to keep
something in mind here as we do this story that
I'll hold on for a second before I drop this
on you, FBI Director Cash Patel. Two Chinese. These nationals

(32:01):
charged on Tuesday with a smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen
into the United States to study at the University of
Michigan laboratory. Wait a minute, University of Michigan. Oh yeah,

(32:21):
that's where Santa Anno was the president. I'm not saying
it's directly his responsibility, but he was in charge before
he resigned to take the job at Florida, which he's
not going to get. Which. Wow, what did we say
to our kids? Don't leave a job until you have
a job. But this story, listen to this, quoting Cash Ptel,

(32:53):
FBI director, This case is a sobering reminder that the
Chinese Communist Party continues to deploy operatives and researchers to
infiltrate our institutions and target our food supply, an act
that could cripple our economy and endanger American lives. Let
me break away from the quote here, food security is

(33:15):
national security. Continuing smuggling a known agro terrorism agent into
the US is not just a violation of law, it's
a direct threat to national security. I command the FBI
Detroit Division, our partners at the CBP for stopping this

(33:36):
biological threat before it could do real damage. The research
fellows Young King Jian and her boyfriend Jiangloglu, both citizens
of the People's Republic of China, charged in a criminal
complaint with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, dates,

(34:00):
false statements, and visa fraud. So what did they smuggle in?
It is a fungus I'm going to try to pronounce
it here, Fusarium graminerum. It is a noxious fungus that
causes head blight, a disease of wheat, barley, maize rice,

(34:27):
and is responsible for billions of dollars of economic losses
worldwide each year. So they smuggled this stuff in to
allegedly study it at the University of Michigan. This is

(34:49):
why we pay attention to what Chinese nationals are buying
and doing if they're in this country. I have an idea,

(35:13):
just an idea, what if all Chinese nationals that want
to come to America, as opposed to putting them in
research departments and in areas of some you know, national
intelligence or I'm just saying, let's just put them all

(35:33):
in California. Let them all live there. Now, I think
a better idea is, I'm sorry, if you're a citizen
of the Chinese Republic of no, if you're a communist

(35:54):
member of the Chinese government, no, you're not coming into
the country. No. And if they say, well, then then
American citizens can't go to China. Okay, that's that's up
to you. That's your call. So we get Chinese nationals

(36:19):
now charged with smuggling in a agro terrorism agent into
this country. At what point, I don't know if you
saw Arizona's governor vetoed legislation passed by the State House
and Senate that would forbid property near military bases being

(36:41):
sold to Chinese nationals. The Arizona governor vetoed it. She's
not signing it now. Hopefully they'll override it. But eleven
minutes after the hour that smuggled Part one, Part two
is next made a hair dryer blowing in my hair,

(37:20):
my flowing locks being blown in the air as I
look out over the vista. Sorry, all right, Smuggled Part
two A cell phone smuggled out of North Korea. I

(37:41):
want to say it's the BBC, somebody, Yeah, the BBC
got ahold of it. What's interesting is the BBC's normally,
you know, they're they're they're lefties over there, all right,
but they actually did some interesting journalism here. And this

(38:02):
is gonna be something that I think will challenge Trump
because Trump likes to make it seem like he and
Kim Jong un are buds. Kim Jong un is no
friend of this country. Now if Trump can leverage him
to be a better citizen worldwide, okay, but understand it's

(38:24):
not gonna happen, you know, just remember this is this
is a regime that just got embarrassed internationally with the
uh destruction of its latest destroyer that basically tipped over

(38:47):
when it was supposed to be slid into the water.
It got stuck, the front end got stuck, the whole
hull got compromised. I don't know how you fix that.
I think that's a bust. And we're talking about a
country that is entirely impoverished. The only ones that aren't
living in poverty in North Korea are Kim Jong un

(39:11):
his family and those that are that remain sick of
fans to him. That's that's it. But the phone, the
BBC's does this report on it, It takes a screenshot
every five minutes and sends it to the government. Whatever

(39:34):
you're looking at every five minutes, and you don't know
exactly when boom boom, boom screenshot. If you've got apps
on there not supposed to have that, they forbid that
you have somehow pirated and gotten on there. Oh and
twabo if you are it. It changes words. If you

(39:58):
use certain words, it changes those words to words that
are acceptable to the North Korean government. When a user
tries to use type the word opa oppa, which means
older brother in Korean but has been it now refers

(40:19):
to a boyfriend in South Korean slang. We do this
in America. We take words in tournaments slang, the phone
auto corrects it to the communist friendly alternative comrade. A

(40:39):
warning would then flash, informing the phone user that the
term OPA could only be used for older siblings. And
it goes on and on. Total complete control. This is
how you know they talk about the Hermit Kingdom. This

(41:03):
is how they maintain control. They keep people from knowing
that just on the other side of the border is
freedom and relative wealth and prosperity, and so they shield
North Koreans from learning about any of that stuff. They

(41:24):
don't know. They've in essence, they've been taught their entire
life that the sky is red. That's what red is.
And if that's all you know, if that's all you've
been taught, that's all, that's all you think exists. There's
nothing beyond that. Two people in North Korea, they might

(41:44):
not even think that there's anything outside their borders. Seventeen
minutes past the outum Personal defense. Next hour, we'll talk
about a few things in the news, try to turn

(42:08):
them into practical thoughts. Tips on personal defense man situational awareness.
You look at what happened in Bolder, and I understand
it mostly older people. And that's why we do this

(42:29):
segments so that you are never ever in a situation
where you're not paying attention to the cues around you.
I've got to believe this guy was putting off vibes,

(42:50):
have to and then you see Wadi, what's he carrying? Okay,
this is a whole new world now. But obviously, as
we talked with kat Kamick esterday, US congresswoman from Florida's
third District, might not have had the option to carry
and defend one's self in Boulder, had someone been there

(43:15):
prepared and ready. I hate to say it, the guy
just kind of flames himself. Shoot him carrying that stuff.
Oh well. Anyway, Hey, this is a for whatever it's worth, story,
and it's alarming. The rice industry is going to tell you, hey, look,

(43:41):
there's arsenic, for example, in anything that's grown in the ground.
And there's probably a little truth to that what naturally
occurs in our dirt at this stage. But Healthy Babies,
Bright Futures, and nonprofit based in Washington, DC, has found
one percent of one hundred and forty five rice samples

(44:04):
purchased from stores throughout the United States, every single one
of them had arsenic levels above the FDA proved number.
While each contaminant had different health effects, they can contribute
to serious risks like cancer, developmental harm, including IQ loss

(44:26):
accumulation in the body over time. They found four toxic
heavy metals inside rice, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. What's
interesting here, brown rice grown in the Southeast labeled grown
in the USA had the highest levels of heavy metals.

(44:53):
Brown rice grown in the Southeast had the highest levels
of yeah of the heavy metals. White rice grown in
the Southeast showed the consistently higher levels of heavy metals,
primarily arsenic than rice grown in California. Tai Jasmine rice
and Indian basmati rice generally contained lower heavy metals. The

(45:19):
problem is that basmati rice from India and arboreo rice
from Italy had the highest average acadmium. Guy with the
Rice Industry disputes some of this. Michael Klein with the

(45:41):
US Rice Federation. He said, America's rice farmers and rice
companies are fully committed to providing wholesome, high quality, nutritious food.
We know that arsenic and food is alarming for many consumers.
You may have questions. While we do not agree that
there's a public health safety issue as a result of
trace amounts of arsenic and rice, we will continue to

(46:03):
work with the US Food and Drug Administration to ensure
US rice supplies meets any threshold established. That gets back
to do you trust the FDA? Now, let me get
to the important takeaway here. According to the rice industry,
yes there's arsenic and rice. It's found in virtually everything

(46:24):
that grows in the ground. He said the date is
misleading and that the new report is below the recommended
guidance of the FDA. The writers of the report say
we hope families come away with simple practical steps they
can take right now to reduce exposure. Here's what they suggest,

(46:46):
cooking rice in extra water and draining it, swapping in
other grains like keenwa or barley, choosing lower arsenic types
of rice such as California grown tai jasmine or India
Indian basmati. So there you go, do what you will

(47:09):
with that information, do a little digging on your own.
Twenty seven past the hour, come back. The big stories
in the press box are next here in the morning show.

(47:33):
I think you know, obviously we're guessing when we say this,
When I say this, I'm guessing we I'm not gonna
dump this on Jose. I'm guessing Elon Musk's decision to
push away a little bit from Doze in the leadership

(47:54):
role while Doze continues to work might have something to
do with his growing disagreements with President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
Understand this has been in the works for a while,
and the information on the reconciliation package as it came
out did seemingly coincide with his decision to push further

(48:18):
away from Doge just saying what's interesting to me is
and this is where you just have to and I'm
just fine with agreeing to disagree. I'm good with it.

(48:40):
But for example, town Hall wrote this headline, town Hall
is a very reliable source for conservative news written from
a conservative perspective. It is. It is news written with editorial,
so it's a hybrid. It's not a news it's town
Hall is no news reporting. It is news with analysis

(49:06):
connected to it, which is opinion. And so Matt Vesper
puts his headline because I think he probably wrote the headline,
Elon Musk breaks his silence on Trump's Big beautiful bill.
It was totally unnecessary. And that's the comment in the headline,

(49:28):
Elon Musk breaks his silence on the bill, and in
the opinion of town Hall, it was totally unnecessary. I disagree.
This is where town Hall is presenting itself as an
always trumper. I'm a mostly Trumper, but I'm not an
always trumper. I think he is the right president for

(49:53):
the time, there's no doubt in that, and I believe
that a great deal of this reconciliation package has got
to get done. I'm just hoping it comes in less expensive.
Donald Trump did not disappoint I told you when he

(50:17):
was running for reelection. Just understand, anybody who supports him,
who offers any criticism of any portion of his his platform,
is going to be an enemy. And true to form,
he's attacking Rand Paul. We played sound of Rand Paul

(50:41):
on CBS over the weekend where he clearly says I
voted for the tax cuts when they were first proposed
in twenty seventeen. I want them to be permanent. They
are great for the economy. It's what needs to happen.
We just need to stop this obsession with spending more

(51:02):
money and adding to our debt. Donald Trump vilifies him
for taking that position and says he wants to raise taxes.
That's not fair. It's no more fair than if I
said Donald Trump. All he wants to do is raise
the debt. That's not fair either. That's part of what's

(51:28):
in this bill. It's raising the debt. We're spending more
than we're taking in. Is it a reduction in the
amount of spending. Maybe they say it is okay, But
is it still spending more than we're taking in? I e.
Deficit spending yes, it is, and pointing that out does

(51:50):
not make one an enemy. And this is my fundamental
criticism of Donald Trump. He makes enemies out of people
that are on his side generally. But you don't have
to agree with everything the guy says, and I don't.

(52:11):
And so I merely asked last week their last hour,
is it unreasonable what rand Paul said? And I haven't
had anybody email me say it was. It's very reasonable
what he's saying anyway. Also, the Board of Governors for
the state of Florida said no to the selection of

(52:32):
Santa Onno as the president of the University of Florida.
I predicted that the Board of Governors was going to
have trouble with it, and I was right. This is
going to get interesting. This is going to be very interesting.
Forty one minutes after the hour. Now, let's put a

(53:09):
bow around a couple of stories that we've talked about
this morning and tie them together. You ever heard of
Operation Spider's Web. That was the Ukraine drone operation that
took out a bunch of nuclear bombers of Russia. Now
it only took out a fraction of the of the
air force capability of Russia, but that's not the point.

(53:36):
It It smuggled drones into Russia and then launched them.
Now what type of drone specifically, I've not seen it yet.
I don't know specifically. Here's what I know, and here's
what matters. It used four hundred and seventy two drones,

(54:02):
launched them from lands adjacent to military airfields. Is that
ringing a bell? We told the story of Chinese nationals,

(54:31):
Chinese national owned companies, companies with ties to the Communist
Party of China. They all have ties to the Communist
Party of China that we're buying up land adjacent to
military bases, notably Grand Forks Air Force Base in North

(54:53):
Dakota three hundred acres twenty twenty one. We talked about it.
How does how is this allowed? Ron DESANDUS immediately put
together legislation that outlauded here in Florida. Now it's not enough,

(55:19):
it's not nearly enough. If you're a citizen of China,
you can't buy land here. If you're connected to China,
you can't buy land here. I'm sorry you can't. But
all we have to do is just pivot and look

(55:40):
at this strike of a military installation in Russia to
see the vulnerability. I wrote in the rundown, duh, maybe

(56:02):
a concern Chinese nationals and Chinese based companies, China based
companies that are are buying up land in this country.
I don't care if it's next to a military base
or not. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
What are they doing on the land.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
What's happening there? What is fool fang groups three hundred
acre farmland doing. I'll be honest with you. As silly
and childish as I might sound, fou Fang sounds like
either a a K pop band from China, which is

(56:49):
you know the the never mind if you if you
either know K pop or you don't, I've got it
on my playlist. What am I going? I'm just I'm
outing myself, all right. I listened to K pop or
a gang full fang full fang group is really full
fang gang? Are we going to wait until an attack

(57:19):
happens before we deal with this nationwide? And what what happened?
Arizona's governor just said, no, we're not We're not gonna
We're not gonna outlaw that. Forty seven past the hour.
Ignorance is bliss tone death. Let's just for a second, Jose,

(57:53):
You're a member of Congress and your district where you
are you are based, has just had something like Boulder happen. Right,

(58:15):
what's your reaction to that? What do you do? You
immediately release a statement and suspend activities as you find
out more about this anti Semitic terrorist attack. That would
be exactly what I would do. M Yes, sir, Well.
Colorado Democrats within thirty minutes of the anti Semitic terrorist

(58:39):
attack held a fundraiser with Representative ill Han Omar. The
ticket prices were from five hundred dollars to seven thousand
dollars to raise money. What they claim for her? Now,
she's an anti Semi she's one of the leading cheerleaders

(59:04):
of this free Palestine nonsense in Congress. Why Minnesotans now,
I believe that they cheat to get her reelected. We
know that they have bought votes. We watched it happen.
There's video of them buying votes, hundreds of dollars for

(59:26):
every vote. I think she should be kicked out of Congress.
So they're raising money for allegedly a notorious anti Semite,
and they do so within the hour after the attack,

(59:52):
well aware of it. That's called being tone deaf. Then
you've got Joy Reid who got fired from MSNBC, and
she's now alleging that it was likely because of her

(01:00:15):
race and because of anxiety surrounding Trump. This is the
classic card that's played every time someone who is not
good at what they do, who engages in slanderous, libelous rhetoric,

(01:00:43):
gets fired when a network says, okay, enough, we're sick
of our ratings tanking, we're sick of our numbers tanking.
We have a responsibility to be at least sort of
kind of successful. And so Katie Kerr Eric does a
little sit down with her, and she actually encouraged this nonsense.

(01:01:07):
As Kirk pointed out that there's no difference between Reid
and Nicole Wallace or Rachel Maddow, to which Reid responded,
the only way, in only one way, was I different.
I'm a black woman doing the thing. No, you're a

(01:01:28):
flaming fool. Rachel Maddow is an intelligent woman. Joy Reid
is not. She's just not. And therein is this classic trap.
This is what happens when you hire people based on
DEI You're trapped, and MSNBC is going to pay the

(01:01:52):
price for a while. All right, Jad Johnson is next
personal defense segment. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott,

(01:02:22):
we begin the third hour. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott, Our number three with Jose in there in
Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B and
I am joined by he is J. D. Johnson, co founder,
co host all Things Talent, talent training group Talent Range
of course dot com is the website and the co

(01:02:42):
host of Talent Outdoors. How are you, friend? I'm great
about So I'm doing well. We were we were just
talking about And let me just go ahead and say,
if you've got a question you want me to fire
off at uh at at JD, just send me an
email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. I haven't said anything
about it all day because I'm attually planning on hogging
all of the time. All right, So the TikTok Ding

(01:03:05):
Dong ditch challenge. Now we have endured as parents this
era of wait, they're doing what, yeah, you know, eating
tide pods, you know, putting obscene amounts of cinnamon in
your in your mouth and swallowing it. And it's like

(01:03:26):
but this is different. The Ding Dong Ditch challenge is
a thing that has taken off on TikTok in recent months.
It's been maybe a year or so, where usually young
men show up in a group and kick as hard

(01:03:48):
as possible against a door in the middle of the
night and then race off to the hedges the trees
at a distance and videotape the reaction of the homeowner
and then they post that and they're all laughing at
the homeowner. And that's the thing. In this case in Virginia,

(01:04:09):
three am, three teens showed up, kicked the door, and
a twenty seven year old resident came with a firearm
to the door and from there we don't know specifically
anything other than this, one of the three teenagers was
shot and killed. What enters your mind first and foremost

(01:04:35):
as we start to unpack this. There's more to come,
but just.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, I mean, that's
the first thing, in all honesty, And I hate it
for the I hate it for the homeowner, you know.
I hate it for the kids too and their parents,
and it's just nonsense, and kids don't Unfortunately a lot
of times their brain's not developed an to consider the

(01:05:02):
possible outcomes of doing something stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
This story to me as I read into it, and
I shared just briefly. You had sixty seconds to read
this story. This story. The write up of this points
out that the twenty seven year old resident of the
home is facing a second degree murder charge. And we
were not sure. The teenagers said that they were fleeing.

(01:05:28):
They were running away when they were shot. That immediately
begs a lot of questions in my mind. One is, okay,
how quickly did a guy get to the door.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Well, with today's technology, ring cameras and cameras in security
cameras depending on where he lived in his house, that
kind of stuff. My camera system at my house can
discern between humans and animals and it's pretty accurate, okay,
And it will notify me upon movement in the yard

(01:05:59):
if it's a human. And it's so I'm getting advanced
notice before they ever get to the door.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
So before someone kicks your door, you know they're on
the property.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
I know they're on the property. It sets off. I
have a push notification to my phone, it'll the phone
will ding prompt me to pick up the phone and
look at the phone to see who's in the yard.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Are you likely to wake up in the middle of
the night with that ding?

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
But my wife is okay, I don't hear very good
and I take my hair and aids out at night.
So but yeah, she's got it on her phone as well.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
So so conceivably he could have been waiting at the door.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Conceivably, yes, or at least on his way to the
door when the when the big thump happens. And I'm sorry,
but kicking somebody's door, that is prima facia for a
burglary exactly, and possibly a home invasion. So you've got
that going on there. Now. If the homeowner in that

(01:06:53):
situation shoots them in the back as they're running away
through the yard laughing, yeah, he's gonna catch a murder
charge and probably should, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
And I want to get to that next. It's ten
minutes past the hour. There are there are some wrinkles
in this. One. Is that Virginia doesn't have a castle
doctrine on the books.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Yeah, and that changes things too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
That changes a lot of things. So we're gonna now
get to the question of reasonable versus unreasonable and what
defines it. We're gonna We're gonna talk about that Jade Johnson. Next,
our personal defense segment, taking a couple of stories from
the news today here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:07:39):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It is
a prank for the purposes of clicks that went really
wrong and cost a young man his life. We're talking
with Jade Johnson of the Talent Training Group. Virginia has
no castle doctrine. These kids kicked the door at three am.

(01:08:02):
The resident was at the very least was prepared and
responded to the way that I think a lot of
us would with a firearm at at the ready. But
now it gets back down to as we were just talking,
if this young man was shot in the back fleeing,
you know, looking to hide, and then videotape the reaction,

(01:08:27):
let's start picking apart now what's reasonable and what is
unreasonable and what defines those things for our listeners here
in Florida and South Georgia.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
So, like you said, if they don't if they don't
have a castle doctrine law up there, or that they're
you know, I don't know what their state law is.
I know in Florida, and Georgia as well. If somebody's
attempting to forcibly enter your home, you can you can

(01:08:58):
take deadly use deadly force on the attempt. So somebody's
kicking it, trying to kick your front door in, by statute,
you can shoot through the door. You can. You don't
have to wait until they cross the thresholds. The laws
have changed that used to be got to be across
the threshold. That's why you hear the old rag inside thing,

(01:09:21):
which it's never really said that, it's just what that was,
kind of the rule of thumb, if you will, the
English common law derivative. So, but in Florida, if somebody's
sitting there trying to kick your door in, and you're
in fear for your life, and you're justified in being
in fear for your life, if somebody's trying to forcibly
enter your home, that falls truly under the castle doctrine

(01:09:43):
in Florida. Once again, the running away part. So there's
a lot of questions that need to be answered in
this article before you know you can come to a
what's reasonable conclusion If the kid's still standing there kicking
out the door when the homeowner has gotten the jump
on him if you will. He's still facing the door,
kicking at the door. I think that's a justifiable shoot

(01:10:06):
because you have no way of knowing what the intentions are. Greed,
and we all see all of the home invasion videos
on ring cameras all over the country and whatever else,
and I think that's a very reasonable response. Now, if
they're out in the front yard, you know, doing the
nanny nanny booboo whatever, laughing and cutting up or whatever,
and they're twenty yards out into the front yard, even

(01:10:27):
in Florida, you're not justified at that point. You know,
it's obviously it's a prank. They're fleeing, the thread has dissipated,
they're not armed, all this other stuff. So I get
these questions all the time, and people say, well, what
if I catch somebody see somebody breaking in I get
a notification on my camera and I see somebody breaking
into my car. Only you can't. You're not justified in

(01:10:48):
shooting them in your yard just because they're in your
yard trespassing. So what you have, you know, is a
different situation. You can have a gun, you can even
point the gun and give them orders to stop. I'm
called on police or whatever. If they run, you can't
you can't shoot him. The threats is gone. At that point,
you have no reasonable expectation that you're going to be

(01:11:08):
harmed by someone running away from you. So he's really
going to boil down. This case is really going to
boil down to where was everybody in the scenario Exactly
is there any way that that guy could perceive a
reasonable threat and did he act on that reasonable threat?
Or was he completely unreasonable in doing what he in

(01:11:33):
shooting the kid when he shot him. So what it
boils down to more to come.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
We're gonna we're gonna kind of take that into another
direction and then look at another story. In fact, tie
it together with a conversation we had yesterday with US
Congresswoman Kat Cammick here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 6 (01:12:03):
La on your phone with the iHeart Radio app and
on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
So here we go in Ihearts Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Station back with J. D. Johnson of the Talent Training

(01:12:37):
Group and our Personal Defense segment. So let's tie this
up a little bit. Yeah, we're talking about a stupid
prank that went really wrong. And you talk about tragedies
across the board here, what are the rules? The requisites?
Is what I wrote down for self defense?

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Well, it depends on where you are. If you're in public,
it is a reasonable fear of death or great bodily
harm to you or someone else.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Let me just stop you for a second. To someone listening,
I mean, I'm I'm approaching elderly status. I'm sixty five.
In a few weeks. I may look big, but I
don't know that. I'm all hang in there with a
twenty thirty forty year old dude that's going to throw
punches my way, but he's not armed. Is that death,

(01:13:28):
fear and bodily harm?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Well, would a reasonable person believe that it was? That's
the question. That's the jury. The reasonable person is another
term for jury of your peers, yeah, okay, or judge?

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Would a jury my peers have to be people older? No? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
So that's what reasonable that's the reasonableness standard. You would
have to make a case. It would be important for
you to have a good attorney. You would have to
make a case that you were reasonably in fear death
or great bodily harm.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
So that's the standard.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
That that is the standard.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
So that's you said, it matters where you are.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Yes, if you're inside your essentially, if you're inside your vehicle,
your home, a motel room, any kind of dwelling.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
What about place of work, Yeah, I would say, assuming
the business doesn't have a rule or something right, Well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
That's going to really depend I mean, I would say
that's more akin to being in public. That depends on
how secure your facility is too. Could that could play
a part in it. And I'm not an attorney, and
that's getting kind of complicated. Sure, but I will tell
you that that inside your home, inside a car, on
your boat, any kind of a any kind of a

(01:14:50):
dwelling or conveyance that belongs to you, the standard is
less than it is in public. And that it's somebody's
trying to enter those premises or take you out of
the make remove you from.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy and security.
And it's yours right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
So if somebody tries to enter that or remove you
from that, like somebody opens your car door and grabs
you and tries to drag you out of your car,
you're you. You are presumed to be in fear for
your life. At that point under the statute, okay, and
you can use deadly force right off the bat in public.
You can't use deadly force if somebody confronts you, threatens you,

(01:15:33):
all of this kind of stuff unless you as to,
unless there's that reasonable fear established.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
They have to produce a weapon of some kind or
something that could be a weapon, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
There has to be a reasonable fear death or great
bodily harm. Fair enough.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Let's let's tie this together now to another story I
talked about with Congresswoman Cat Camick yesterday Boulder, Colorado, and
we talk about it, how often awareness. Boy, this guy
with the flamethrower, molotov cocktail things that he he put together,
talk about not having situational awareness. Those people didn't didn't

(01:16:10):
even perceive the threat JD.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Yeah. Focus, they're focused on what they were doing there,
and they didn't obviously I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
I mean, but if one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
If one person there had a been armed and.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
Carrying instead of a video camera, yeah, shooting the thing
with with video.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Yeah, yeah, they could have all been all all the
injuries could have been premented except to the to the
one bad guy.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
So let's now so in that case someone that's standing by.
Let's just say one person puts their phone down.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
His on vacation in Boulder, Colorado, happened to be walking by.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
And you're you're videotaping the rallies, saying, hey, look at
these people marching for the cause, and oh wait a minute,
something's up. The phone goes down, and then what are
your guidance? What's what guidance are you operating under at
that point?

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
And that point, I'm protecting those people, and that is
a death or great bodily harm fear at that point.
And I can tell you that I don't know about
Colorado's state laws, but in Florida, right you are on
firm ground to defend, put yourself in the shoes of another,
and defend those people. There's a to me, that's a
very reasonable fear of death or great body harm.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
So, whether it was Boulder, Colorado, or at the student
union at Florida State, though they're prevented from having a
firearm legally there, in most settings where you're not in
a designated gun free zone, you have the right to
defend the life of another. Yes, you do, fair enough,
all right, We're gonna take a break when we come back.

(01:17:44):
Let's just assume you've made the decision for your personal
defense and the defense of your family and maybe others
you're gonna carry. What are holster options that you should consider?
And do they vary by body type? My hunch which
is yeah, they kind of do, because I've got a
body type. And we'll talk about it next.

Speaker 6 (01:18:14):
Wherever you may be, from Florida, Sunshine State to New
York's forget New York, no scratch that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
New York's now hopeless. At least the city is. For
the rest.

Speaker 6 (01:18:25):
We're your morning show, The Morning Show with Preston Scott,
and we are back.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
With me as J. D. Johnson of the Talent Training
Group got a question that came in. We were talking
about what happened in Boulder, and the listener asked, would
a Berna have been better than nothing? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
It had been better than nothing? Yeah? Absolutely, or you
might have just made him mad.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
Remind everybody what a Bernie is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Not that burn is a name brand. There's other ones there.
It's a derivative of a pepper ball gun. That it's
a use the CO two cartridge to fire a pepper ball,
basically a paintball filled with pepper, powdered, pulverized micro pulverized
cayenne pepper.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
They now have a combo that is pepper and tear gas.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Yeah, so same thing. So it is designed to be
a less lethal, less than lethal option that you can
deploy to irritate sinuses in the eyes. We've talked about
it a lot on here. Keep in mind that pepper spray,
that kind of stuff is one It doesn't work well

(01:19:41):
on highly motivated people. It also doesn't work on but
about eighty percent of the population period r oc olio
resident capsation. The pepper spray. Pepper spray is not going
to have an effect on about twenty percent, or much
of an effect on about twenty percent of the population.
On someone that is highly motivated to finish their task,

(01:20:04):
whatever that task is, they're going to be able to
fight through it, fight through the pain. It is a
pain compliance and an irritant. The kinetic rounds that they
advertise is basically a solid ball, rubber ball, whatever, launched
at four hundred feet per second. It's gonna hurt, it's
not gonna once again, it's a pain compliance thing. So

(01:20:27):
it is not a replacement for a firearm.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
But in a situation where you just are not allowed
to carry a firearm at least.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
At least it gives you some range where you don't
have to get close to somebody that's carrying a torch
or or a flamethrower, Molotov cocktail. It's going to give
you a little bit of distance so you can stay
away a little bit further away.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
All right, let's talk about the holster options that are
out there. What do you think is the most commonly
used holster option that is the most.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Effective inside the ways van behind the back.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
To the side, in the belly, the abdomen.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
To the side. I'm not a fan of behind the back.
It's there's a lot of a lot of risk there
carrying behind the back off, you know, the three or
nine o'clock position, depending on if you're left handed, right handed,
around to the appendix in the front. The fastest is
the appendix, which is virtually twelve o'clock right in front. Also,

(01:21:24):
not a huge fan of that personally, because I have
a done lop. You know, my belly's done lopped over
my belt.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Not so much anymore, buddy, not so much anymore. You've
dropped some weight.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Yeah, about thirty five pounds.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
What about for those that are heavier, and let's face it,
that would probably be more than most.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
Off to one side of the other. In the front,
it's easier to defend if somebody is paying close attention
and looking to take somebody's gun away from them, you
have to one of That's one of the big reasons
I'm not a huge fan of open carry, even in
places where it's legal. I'm not a fan of open carry.
I'm not necessarily saying we shouldn't pass a law that

(01:22:07):
allows open carry. I'm saying I'm not a fan of
it because tactically speaking, defending the gun is a big deal.
You ask any law enforcement officer. They have gone through
a tremendous amount of training it multiple times through their
career on how to keep somebody from taking your gun
away from you. So, but somebody that's printing or that

(01:22:29):
you can see the gun under their shirt, you have
to be able to defend. That gun is easier to
defend if it's in front of you than it is
at your back. Yeah, outside of the ways, spands probably
going to be more comfortable, more difficult to conceal. You're
going to have that big bulge off to the.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Winter might be about the only time you might get
away with that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
If you're wearing a coat, a vest or whatever, the
outside of the waist spans easier to conceal. But if
you're dressed in normal clothes and it's ninety eight degrees
and ninety percent of you meitted in Florida, uh, you
gonna look mighty silly wearing a vesta or a jacket.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
And bottom line is, if you're in the heat season,
untuck it, untuck your shirt, put an undershirt on if
you feel the need, but be mindful of that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
And you also have an off body carry. And there's
there's pluses and minuses to all that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
I want to I want to learn more what you
mean by that. And I also want to talk about
belly bands and and those that still want to go
James Bond and put it in there. Uh, you know,
kind of the shoulder holster type thing. Forty past the hour,

(01:23:45):
final segment here with J. D. Johnson of the Talent
Training Group. Remember talentrange dot com. You can get training,
you can be a member of the range, you can
head out there, you can make yourself a better shooter.
Let's talk about those other holster options you were mentioning.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Yeah, you mentioned a belly band that's very similar to
an inside the waist band. It just pushes it up
above your waistline, so you know, you have to either
have to lift your shirt up or unbutton your shirt,
you know, to get to it. Most of the time.
It's a good option if you're wearing like workout clothes
or something that doesn't have a you know, pants with
a belt. Not everybody wants to wear pants with a belt.

(01:24:23):
They want to wear stretchy, you know, gim shorts or
whatever in the summertime, something that's lightweight or whatever. So
the belly bands a good option for stuff like that.
And anybody that carries three hundred and sixty five days
out of a year, you're gonna have multiple options that
you're gonna learn that there's multiple options to carry, you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
Know, shoulder holsters.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
Uh, you know, leave that for James Bond and helicopter pilots. Yeah,
you know, if you're a helicopter pilot, I'm all for it.
You know that's you're sitting down and got a lap belt,
seat belt on all the time. Shoulder holsters in Florida
where you have to conceal it. Then that's going to
relegate you to wearing some kind of some kind of an.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
Over a light weight jacket or something that you're gonna have.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
To wear a cover garment over it. And there's other
issues with with shoulder holsters as well, that you know,
they're carried with the grip forward in front of you,
so somebody walks up to you, the grip is more
or just as accessible to the grip of the firearm
is just as accessible to them as it is to you.
So defending a shoulder holster is difficult.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
You mentioned another type of holster and not heard of.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
You about off body carry. Yes, yeah, so I'm talking
about bags. H Okay, fanny packs, single strap over the shoulder.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
And there are guys actually doing that these days.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
Yeah, there's some really cool carry bags for guys that
don't look you know that don't look feminine, I guess,
or don't look like a purse. Uh, there's purses that
are made for Yes, there are, yeah, that have a
special pocket in there just for the firearm. I've got
a backpack that has a holster built in, a spot
in the backpack for a holster and an extra magazines

(01:26:01):
so those are the single straped tactical bags are a
good option. You just have to there are limitations to it.
You know, what do you do with it if you
need to go inside somewhere, you need to go to
the bathroom, or you're doing you know, changing clothes and
you know, or trying on clothes or whatever them all.
So you just have to be cognizant of where that

(01:26:22):
bag is at all times and not giving kids access
to it. Yeah, you know, there's a lot of that's
that's you know, one of those issues.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
Let's tie this together then and combine it with a
tip on going to the range. And we always like
to give someone a training tip involving a holster.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
Yeah. So, so one of the reasons that when Charlie
and I built Talon built the range, we wanted the
reason there are individual bays out there, so you can
have a secluded bay that has sides, you know, three
sides on it, so you're not affecting the other people
on the range next to you. It's not one big
open bay. It's so that you can practice things like
drawing from the holster. So whatever your method of carry is,

(01:27:07):
practice with it, you know, don't just go to the
range with your gun in a box or you carry
every day and you've got this nice setup or whatever.
But yet when you get to the range, you take
the gun out and you lay it on the table
and you just pick it up off the table and shoot,
Which is fine if that's what you want to do,
But if you're truly training, you want to practice with
the rig, the gun, the everything that you carry, and

(01:27:30):
also practice moving. Every time you draw, you should not
be standing still in one place. In law enforcement, we
call it getting off the tracks because the train is coming.
So when you draw, step to the left, draw step
to the right, incorporate some kind of movement. Draws, step
to the rear, Incorporate some kind of movement to simulate

(01:27:50):
that movement because it changes things. As our body moves
around and we're trying to get that gun out, it changes.
Just stepping in one direction or the other can change
the where ever everything is at.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
And you mentioned most people have multiple holsters. Practice with
the multiple holsters.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Practice with, practice with what you're gonna play with. Yeah,
you know what you're gonna wear on game day, and
it's that's an important important thing. And yeah, if you're
carrying multiple ways. If you're carrying in the pocket, practice
drawing from the pocket. I'm not talking about trying to
be super fast. I'm talking about being very deliberate with
what you're doing, not trying to speed draw and see

(01:28:27):
if you can get the gun out and get a
shot on target in a second. Be deliberate with your movement,
with your action.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
And as we always remind you, be aware of your
surroundings at all times.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
Yeah, keep your head on the swivel.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Thank you, sir, Thank you. JD. Johnson with the Talent
Training Group. My guests, don't forget talent Range dot com.
Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You remember

(01:29:04):
how I shared the story last week about the ants.
Just an ant on the bumper of my car at
a gas station got me thinking about why no, this
little fella survives if I flick him off my bumper
and he doesn't happen to return. I mean, where did

(01:29:25):
he come from? And so I got. You can't believe
the number of email answers I got. The consensus was
that d is screwed. If he didn't go back to
his colony, he's done. Huh okay, same type thing I

(01:29:46):
see this story two alligators removed from pools in a
single day in Florida County. Martin County trapper removed a
seven foot gator from a pool in the Pinecrest Lake
Home Pine Pine Crest Lakes in Jensen Beach, and then

(01:30:10):
and then there was another alligator same day. Here's what
I'm thinking. I wonder if they have a vinyl liner,
and if they have a vinyl liner pool, what happens
to that? If that alligator starts thrashing around with his claws,
you're losing your liner. That's how my brain works. How

(01:30:39):
do they get that thing out without it destroying the
vinyl liner. Now, if it's a gun eyed pool, no problem.
More than likely might have a few claw marks. But man,
what an awesome story. Your your nieces and nephews come over.
What's that, Uncle Preston. That's that's the alligator that I

(01:31:00):
wrestled out of here last time. That's that's what's left
of him right there? Those claw marks on the cement.
Oh yeah, I'll mess with your uncle Preston. Sam, I'm
wearing him now. I got some boots being Now, I'm
just kidding, But what happens to a vinyl liner. If

(01:31:21):
you're pulling an alligator out of a swimming pool, can
it withstand? Can it withstand a claw mark from an alligator?
I'm just asking.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
These are the things I think about. Brought to you
by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
It's the Morning Show one on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
My thanks to J. D. Johnson from the Talent Training
Group for joining me this past hour. You talked about
all things personal defense, big stories of the press box
elon Musk calling the Big Beautiful Bill a catastrophe. He
he said, it's an abomination. His comments I don't disagree

(01:32:03):
within their entirety. I don't disagree with the need to
pass the bill in its entirety. I have problems with
the fact that we're adding debt. I have a problem
with that. And Rand Paul's not evil for thinking what
he's thinking. I don't care how Trump tries to characterize him.
He's not wrong about this issue. Trump's wrong and how

(01:32:26):
he's attacking Rand Paul, and he's just he's Trump right.
If you oppose him, you're an enemy. If you offer
a different view, you're an enemy, at least publicly. And
I just I don't have a regard for that, but anyway,
that's Trump. We love him at times for it. I

(01:32:48):
guess State University board rejects the pick of the University
of Florida for its next president. The answer was no
to uh, doctor Santa jay Ono as the president, So
Santa Claus is not coming. Santa's not coming to Gatorland.

(01:33:10):
Talked about the Chinese nationals charged of smuggling a known
agro terrorism agent into the United States University of Michigan,
just saying tomorrow we'll do it all again. Have a
great day.
