Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, good morning everybody, Wednesday, July second, and it's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's ose dressed in a
rather business attire. Look today is the producer of the
program over there in Studio one A. I am here

(00:36):
in Studio one B. Got a great program prepared. As always,
we do our very very best. But let's get to
where we ought to start. Every day. God's word. So
I'm thirty four to eight says this. O. Taste and
see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man

(00:56):
who takes refuge in him. You could also say that
Blessed is the man. I just kind of go old
school there. Blessed just blessed is just got a rhythm
to it, right. Blessed is the man versus Blessed is
the man Blessed just sort of sounds yeah, blessed. Blessed

(01:17):
is like so poetic, just has a flow to it. Anyway,
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. I
want you to just think about what Jesus said when
he commented, I am the Bread of life, and then

(01:44):
Psalm thirty four says, taste and see that the Lord
is good. The harmony between those two thoughts is really
quite remarkable. One of the things that I challenge people

(02:06):
that are just they're struggling with, you know, the whole
narrow is the path and Jesus is the only way.
And I just point out the harmony that exists within

(02:28):
the entirety of the Bible. And I offer this one
simple challenge to people. And you may be among them
just struggling with this whole idea, you know, even even
the idea of God becoming flesh and what what is this?

(02:51):
It's silliness. And we've we've talked even in the last
couple of weeks about how the things of God are
silliness to people that are not part of the body
of Christ. That once you admit to your sins and
it's not well, I did this and this and this

(03:14):
is no. I mean, God knows it's coming to that
acknowledgment and accepting the forgiveness. You don't have to do
anything but receive it to have it. You don't have
to like walk old ladies across the street for the
rest of your life. And I'd be lovely if you did.

(03:34):
But that's not why you do it. You do it
because it would be an expression of the work that
God's done in you. You do good things to express
what God's done in you. But the point I want
to drive at here is I've said this to a
lot of people over the years that are just sort
of fence straddling. All right, you make it up. Now

(03:57):
make up your own religion, go for it. Do it?
How would you do it? And that's the thing. The
Bible is a record of history as much as it

(04:18):
is a book of faith. There is no other book
like it, none, none. And the message of Scripture from
the very beginning to the very end, is just woven
together with threads that just form an incredible tapestry. And

(04:43):
can't you can't we I you can't come up with it.
I mean, if you were just gonna write God's greatest
hits and make up something, would you be putting in
the downside of all the people? You're covering the ugly
truths about some of the peace people that are written
about in the Bible. I mean the failures of David alone,

(05:04):
the failures of Moses, the failures of Noah, the failures
of all of the Paul before he became Paul was
sauld He murdered Christians, Would you be putting all that
in there? No, you would not. He just kind of
don't have to write that down Psalm thirty four eight. Sorry,

(05:27):
O taste and see that The Lord is good and
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Ten
past the hour.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
W FLA.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
He realize that the alligator Alcatraz has air conditioning. I
don't think the men and women incarcerated in Florida's prisons
have air conditioning except in the education classrooms. Just saying

(06:16):
I don't know about that. I mean, one group we're
trying to rehabilitate and bring back into society, the other
group we're preparing to deport. I'm just I'm just saying

(06:41):
that's just me though. Sorry distracted. July second, seventeen seventy six,
the Continental Congress votes for independence, passing a resolution that
these United Colonies are and of right ought to be

(07:02):
free and independent states. That's why John Adams thought it
would be July second, because this was the day of
the vote. Eighteen eighty one, President James Garfield is fatally
shot by a deranged man in Washington, d C. Now

(07:27):
we have hundreds of deranged men in Washington DC thousands.
Let's see here. Eighteen ninety Congress passes the Sherman Antitrust Act,
the first federal antitrust law. On this date. In nineteen
thirty seven, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan disappear over the

(07:48):
Pacific Ocean. This is the day. The word is, as
I understand it, her final entry in her diary on
this trip she was making.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
That.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I guess she was sending out to the to the
press or whatever was Crowotin. Figure that one out the
same last words of the settlers that disappeared, crowotoin itch.

(08:34):
That word shows up in multiple places in history. It's crazy.
It's one of the reasons why I check out the
podcast Haunted Cosmos. It's actually it's a Christian podcast. Just

(08:55):
the title sounds like woo and there and it gets
to some woo stuff, but through the lens of the Bible,
which is kind of cool. Let's see here. Nineteen sixty four,
President Lyndon Johnson signs the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act.
He was drag kicking and screaming to that. And in

(09:18):
two thousand and two, adventurer Steve Fawcett became the first
person to fly NonStop around the world alone in a balloon.
Want to no, it's crazy. I covered that story and
talked about it here on the morning show. My show
was Let's see April May June. My show is just

(09:42):
over three and a half months old, and I remember
talking about Steve Fawcett. I thought it was fascinating the
dude floated around the world by himself in a balloon.
It was like this. It was. It was this massive
balloon and he was in this little pod suspended underneath

(10:06):
it and crazy. Right today is National Wildland Firefighter Day,
So if you're one of them, thank you. We appreciate
what you do. It's dangerous work and we thank you
for doing it. It's a thankless job, it really is.
Boy talk about a difficult job, trying to stop a wildfire. Tough, tough, tough,

(10:33):
but we thank you for your service. Seventeen past the hour,
got some great news Candy Lovers, Charlie. Charlie's going to
join us in the third hour. Charlie Strickland will be

(10:54):
with us to talk personal if it's a lot of
stories in the news to talk about. Get his thoughts
on active shooter situation at a church in Michigan, the
ambush of firefighters, the trend of jugging robbing people after
they leave the bank or the ATM. We're gonna go

(11:18):
through all of that and more this morning on the
program with Charlie Time for our did you Know segment
different than our history segment. It's history, but it's a
it's just a little piece of trivia. Did you know
that the founder of FedEx, Fred Smith, once took the

(11:41):
last five thousand dollars of his struggling company at the
time to Las Vegas. He won twenty seven thousand dollars
and it was enough to pay the company's fuel bills.
That's crazy. I'm not advocating that, by the way. That

(12:02):
is not my Hey, go take your last five bucks
and put it on the line. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no. That's just fascinating to me. Look at FedEx now,
I mean, my goodness. We had a movie basically made
around the whole fed X thing, Tom Hanks and Castaway, right,

(12:26):
that was based on fed X. By the way, great movie.
I'm glad Tom's calmed down just a little bit on
his politics, not a lot, but enough. He's such a
good actor, he's such a likable guy. It's like, Tom,
You're smarter than that. Stop it. Stop it anyway, I said,

(12:48):
I had a segment here on candy. Maha is growing.
You know what, Maha is make America healthy again. Let's
just step back for a second and say that maybe

(13:09):
we were wrong about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now I
wasn't wrong. I believed that he was a great choice
for the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He is,
he is getting wins in key areas. Hershey's listen to me.

(13:35):
Hershey's has now agreed it is pulling all artificial dyes
out of its candies. We are talking about synthetic dyes
from its snacks by the end of twenty twenty seven,

(13:57):
joining What's Smuckers, and who knows how many others that
are making these changes. We've seen changes at Steak and
Shake and how they're frying their French fries and in
this case, artificial food dies. This is a Bloomberg story.

(14:20):
They're not healthy. Now our eyes are going to see
things that aren't quite so colorful, perhaps because they'll be
using natural dyes as needed. I mean, I don't know
what a jolly rancher is going to look like, but

(14:44):
I read a story of a guy binging on Reese's
pieces knowing that they're going to be healthy once again
or healthier. In a statement, Hershey's said, there's a patchwork
of state regulations emerging that is creating confusion will ultimately
increase consumer costs. Removing these colors is a natural next

(15:06):
step in our program to ensure consumers have options to
fill their lifestyle while maintaining trust and confidence in our products. Yeah,
they're making it sound like this was their idea. This
is the next step in the evolution of art. Now,
this is because you're being called out for using this
stuff in your products. I mean, even like skinny pop.

(15:27):
Skinny pop popcorn is our Hershey's product. States like Texas
and West Virginia are outlawing certain artificial food dies. Hershey's
doesn't like it, but it's the natural next step. And so, yeah,
we're gonna probably say goodbye to some bright colors and things.
I mean, froot Loops is probably gonna get really boring. Okay,

(15:50):
I'm good with that. I'll close my eyes. I'll look
at the two can on the cover and close my
eyes and take a big bite. That's fine. Twenty seven
minutes after the hour. Let's do the big stories in
the press box. Got some sound to listen to next
as well. Here on the Morning Show, Mayor of realvill
he offers a state of the nation every single day.

(16:12):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thirty five
past the hour. All right, let's talk about where we

(16:33):
are with the one Big Beautiful bill. Jad Vance had
to cast the tie breaking vote Susan Collins of Maine,
even though they threw her a bone. Tom Tillis of
North Carolina ran Paul of Kentucky, where the three Republicans
to break and vote against the bill. Trump, of course,
we'll try to take vengeance upon them. But it passed

(16:54):
because of jd Vance. It now goes to the House.
The bill proposes a four point five trillion dollar extension
on the tax cuts, rolls back billions of dollars in
green energy tax credits. Good stop subsidizing something that doesn't work.

(17:15):
I'm sorry. You shouldn't get subsidized for buying an electric car.
You shouldn't. If you want to buy one, buy one. Awesome.
No really, I've warned you of the potential problems if
you know what they are, and you say I want
one cool. I think they're awesomely cool. I just would
never own one, never, because I know what's facing me

(17:39):
in ten years I'm I'm driving. I'm driving. Two of
my three cars right now are well over ten years old,
and the other one is two years away from being
ten years old. I'll drive new vehicles. I would be

(18:00):
facing battery replacements on all of them, multiple times, on
one of them, at a cost of twelve to eighteen
thousand dollars. No, no, cars are not worth that. And
that's what people are learning and will learn in the
coming years. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It goes back to

(18:21):
the House now potentially a vote today, but as we
learned yesterday with US Congresswoman kat Camick, that is going
to be easier said than done.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
What we can confidently say is this is not the
House product that we sent over. What the House Speaker
is asking us to do is to basically pick up
whatever the Senate passes and just pass it out of
the House. Now, I personally have a problem with that
because if we are not removing illegals off of the
roles that are taking away precious resources from American citizens,

(18:54):
the problem we're not securing the border, that is a problem.
If we are not defunding this radical trans surgeries on
minors agenda that is part of the bill, that's a problem.
If we are not addressing the regulatory regime and the
administrative state, that is a problem. So we're seeing a

(19:18):
lot of different problems that aren't getting worked out. And
it all really comes down to the fact that you
have an unelected bureaucrat the Senate parliamentarian, who has stripped
out provision after provision, and I can tell you she's
being very much an activist in this space because you
look at the so called Inflation Reduction Act, you look

(19:39):
at the Green New Deal, you look at the Obamacare.
They all use the same process reconciliation, and there were
countless provisions where they were clearly not Germane, but they
remained in there. And so this parliamentarian really ought to
be fired. So we have a lot of work to do.

(20:00):
We're anticipating a very, very tough week. But again, we
are America first, and that means putting American first.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, Kat's not gonna budge until certain thresholds are met.
So we'll see where this all goes. Great interview with
kat yesterday. As always, she's a champion. But I want
to get to that Senate parliamentarian thing. I got asked
a question yesterday. Can you just fire her? This is

(20:35):
where it gets interesting. Yeah, the Senate Majority leader can
fire the parliamentarian. They're not elected, they're not a member
of the Senate, They're an employee. Now, I'm going to
get to the stuff that's way out in the weeds

(20:57):
a little bit not getting a lot of publicity. There
is a thought process out there that suggests that Senate
Majority Leader John Thune is trying to tank this thing.
And that's why I didn't fire the Senate parliamentarian, because
it's on her when actually he is allowing it to happen.

(21:20):
So he's publicly trying to be Rah rah for this
bill and maybe privately maybe not. It doesn't surprise me
if that were to be true, because I told you
on the front end I thought John Thune was a
terrible choice. He's Mitch McConnell light anyway. I just thought
you'd be interested in knowing. Forty one minutes past the hour,

(21:46):
one big bill. We challenge you to make a difference
in your world, and ma Ad, you get it. You know,
try to make a positive influence upon others, you know,
you know, be a good person. The Morning Show, Preston Scott.

(22:08):
You know, at some point, this drafting chair that I'm
sitting in is gonna just it's gonna buy the farm.
I mean, it's gonna be done. Because I've been sitting
in this chair for seventeen years every day, yeah, you know,

(22:30):
most days. And I moved into this studio about five
years after starting the show. They flipped us from the
AM to the FM. Look at us, and I've been
sitting in this chair and it's a drafting chair that
you know, it's it's like a barstool that goes. It
can go down to a normal chair height, or it
can come all the way up. And so they would

(22:51):
call this a drafting chair. And I've thought of just
buying my own kind of special leather, you know, really fee,
but I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. I
just because this is my chair. This is this is
that's my chair. You can hear it sounds like a

(23:13):
bunch of geese, doesn't it. Anyway, after I sit in
it for you know, twenty minutes, it has a lot
of adjustments and it can tip back, and it can
tip forward, and after, you know, after I'm talking for
a little while, I'm leaning in and doing the show,
it's it's I can slide right off the front of it.

(23:34):
So I'm constantly having to adjust the tilt on it
and get it tilted right back anyway. I'm just I'm
always kind of fighting with it. But it makes me
laugh to do so. Lyndy Lee l I Lee, former
DNC fundraiser, National Finance Committee member, former she quit the party.

(23:56):
She is all about telling everybody who was running the
White House. She is naming names because she said she
watched it. Biden is complicit quoting, but there were a
lot of people behind him, like puppet masters Jill Biden.

(24:18):
Jill Biden very much knew what she was doing. What
she did was absolutely elder abuse, no question in my mind.
This is a Democrat fundraiser that was everywhere with the Bidens.
She mentioned Anthony Bernall, former assistant to the President's senior

(24:38):
advisor to the First Lady. They deny the cover up,
but I had a front row seat watching it happen.
People like Anthony Bernall. I saw him running the White
House like he was in charge like he was a king.
It's just so amazing now to see him dodge a
subpoena and completely dodge accountability. He can run, but he
can't hide. His name is going to go down in
infamy forever. Okay, Okay, Lucy, Lindy Sorry, Lindy Lee. Sorry.

(25:08):
She attended events at the White House, organized fundraisers and
battleground states. Addition to Bernal Deputy chief of Staff Bruce Reed,
counselor Steve Ricchetti, senior advisors Anita Dunne. Boy, I know
that name, Mike Donoalan, We're among those running the White House.
Biden's former domestic policy advisor near to tan and testified

(25:29):
for hours. Lee said that Tendon played an intricate role
in the use of the auto pen when Biden was
manifestly this is her words, manifestly unqualified and unable to
prosecute the duties of the office. She said she was

(25:51):
faced with the wrath of her former friends and colleagues
since she left the party. Boy is that commonplace right?
If a Republican leaves to become a Democrat, we shake
our head and wonder what drugs they've been taking, and
then we just laugh. Democrats. Oh no, they go jugular,

(26:13):
They go straight for the veins. Joe was not able
to do a lot of the campaign events, so Jill
would come out on his behalf, acting like the president
or presidential candidate. That's why she graced the Vogue cover
three times. She loved it. If I were to pinpoint
two reasons why Joe decided to run again, it would
be two people, Jill and Hunter, because Hunter Biden's freedom

(26:35):
was on the line and Jill's ego was on the line. Now,
I will tell you all of that is likely true,
but the person behind it all with policy is Obama.
There's no doubting that in my mind at all, at all.
I would love to know how the communication took place,

(26:57):
whether it was text, whether it was encrypted email, whether
it was delivery like hand delivery of printed dot. I
don't know. There's no way that Barack Obama was involved.
All of these policies lined up too much with what
he stated in office. His goals were all right, forty
seven minutes past there. I thought you'd be curious to
know that. Tough story to talk about. Next, forget to

(27:22):
subscribe to the conversations with Preston Scott podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Don't forget We're told them, don't forget. We're
just reminding them. What do you want from me? Leave
me alone? The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio

(27:43):
double UFLA. Panama City dot Com Well University of Pennsylvania
bands trans athletes from female sports. That's the home of
Leah Thomas. Hallelujah passed the biscuits. All right? Do you

(28:17):
remember when we were told nobody is advocating for third
trimester abortions? That does not happen? Remember hearing that that no,

(28:39):
Okay Hope Clinic is now open in Chicago, expanding our
care through all trimesters and OMG, we couldn't be more excited.
Everyone deserves access to abortion care whenever they needed, because

(29:00):
deciding and acting on what's best for you shouldn't be
anyone else's timeline. They are now offering and advertising all
trimester abortions. You might be saying, well, wait, Illinois law
says that that abortions can only be had up to

(29:23):
twenty four weeks fetal viability. That's the line drawn in
Illinois law except that abortions are allowed later in pregnancy
at the mother's health or well being quoting now, including
but not limited to, physical, emotional, psychological, and familial health

(29:45):
and age is considered threatened by the pregnancy. According to
the state's Reproductive Health Act, if the mother's health or
well being, and that can be defined by finances, it
can be defined by you know, I've just changed my mind.
I just don't want a child, and so we're gonna

(30:08):
take a child that is completely viable and we're gonna
allow them to kill the child. And that's okay. So
point in this story, number one is this, don't just
don't talk to me or us about the fact that
nobody believes that. Oh yeah they do, Yeah they do.

(30:36):
And I'm gonna continue to pop the bubble on this
whole viability argument. Guess what. A baby ain't viable until
they can talk and walk and feed themselves. A one
year old baby, it's not viable. It still requires the

(30:58):
intervention of others to live. Don't believe me. How about
the eighteen month old that was left in their crib
while their parents, the parents of the child or the
mother of the child went on a cruise and the
child died, That whole viability argument is just blown up crap.

(31:26):
I know thirty year olds that are still depending on
their mom and dad. Fifty seven minutes past the hour,
let's come back with some news and hour two of
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I've long wondered if
I do a promo that says at a certain time
and I'm going to talk about a certain thing, if
people actually remember to tune in at that time to

(31:49):
hear about that certain thing. If you are tuning in
to hear about the fifteen year playing to take down
Around's nuclear program, I'd love to know. Preston at iHeartRadio
dot com, just tell me yes, I heard the promo
and I tuned in specifically for that. I just would
be fascinated to know if it makes a bit of difference.

(32:10):
I have no idea, but I came across this story
in Epic Times and I printed the whole thing out.
It's twelve pages. I was fascinated by this and I
thought it would be worth sharing some of it. And
it's an Epic Times premium report. It's called the secret

(32:30):
fifteen year playing behind the US strikes on Iran, Clandestine
Pentagon program developed the bunker buster bomb specifically to take
out Iran's nuclear program. Get this fifteen years of study
and planning, According to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,

(32:51):
General Dan Kine Caine detailed the military planning that began
in two thousand and nine to design a purpose built
method to knock out the four DOH facility, which is
buried hundreds of feet underground in a mountainous region of Iran.

(33:11):
They started meeting in two thousand and nine to figure
this out. They knew Iran was doing it. They were
up to something. It's called the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
dtra quoting. In two thousand and nine, a Defense Threat

(33:37):
Reduction Agency officer was brought into a vault at an
undisclosed location and briefed on something going on in Iran.
They do not identify the workers in this program for
obvious reasons. For more than fifteen years, this officer and
his teammate, two people lived and breathed this single target

(34:04):
fourd DOH, a critical element of Iran's covert nuclear weapons program.
The two employees spent years studying everything from the geology
surrounding four DOH to the construction materials and other equipment
arriving at the facility so they could model the site
and devise a plan, Cain said, and I quote they

(34:24):
literally dreamed about this target at night when they slept.
In the course of their study of the Fodah facility,
Caine said that the pair leading the projects soon determined
the US military did not have a weapon that could
adequately address the challenge the fortified Iranian nuclear facility presented.

(34:47):
Cain said, quote, so they developed. They began a journey
to work with industry and other tacticians to develop the
GBU fifty seven. So the GBU fifty seven, known as
the Massive Ordnance Penetrator MOP or bunker buster, thirty thousand

(35:08):
pound bomb designed to burrow and explode deep underground, didn't
exist until these two guys gals people thought it up
based on what they knew Iran was doing, where they
were doing it, and how they were building the facility
to hide what they were doing. Military planners spent years

(35:38):
testing the bomb, specifically for Ford. Oh listen. They tested
it over and over again. They accomplished hundreds of test shots,
dropped many full scale weapons against extremely realistic targets for
a single purpose. Kill this target at the time and
place of our nation's choosing. Caine said, each GBU fifty

(36:03):
seven designed for a specific target, so they were slightly
modified for each role that each bomb played in the
bombing that took place, they were slightly altered. Each one
dropped on the Foidoho facility had a unique desired impact, angle, arrival,

(36:26):
final heading, and fuse, corresponding to its role in the
overall mission. Well, there's more to come the fifteen Year
Plan talk about playing the long game. Sweet goodness, gracious,
does that make my heart feel better? I'm sorry it does.

(36:47):
I'm like, I'm ecstatic that we got game players, we
got people that are good at this in our military
said Okay, we got a problem, let's solve it, and
they did. Ten past the hour. More to come on
the fifteen Year Plan. Next on The Morning Show with
Preston Scott talking about a piece of epic times on

(37:22):
the secret fifteen year Plan behind the US strikes on Iran.
I'm and you might not be as interested in this
as I, but it makes my heart happy that even
when Obama was dismantling our military. If you remember, Barack

(37:46):
Obama was the one that was cutting funding and creating
a military that was lethal, agile, and infinitely smaller, to
the point that we could not fight on two fronts,

(38:07):
only one. Now that's just patently stupid. Imagine that strategy
in World War Two Germany and the Axis Powers Japan.

(38:29):
We were fighting in the European theater and the Pacific theater.
How in the world, and so it it makes me
feel better that even in the midst of all of that,

(38:50):
we had at least a few people focused on dealing
with Iran. I don't know if this this grew snuck
past the observation of the liberals that were running the country,
I don't know, but thank goodness, they kept working. So

(39:14):
they're working on the GBU fifty seven, the bunker Buster,
they're testing it, they're testing it against certain structures in
certain terrans. They've done everything they can do to mimic
what Iran had done. The B two Spirit stealth bombers

(39:36):
were tasked with striking the FOURDAH facility, specifically to drop
the GBU fifty sevens ahead of the strikes, though military
planners observed satellite maybe reconnaissance done by Masad or locals
working for the US. Last minute changes to Fordoh. They

(40:00):
put concrete caps on the ventilation shafts to further fortify
the facility. They had a feeling something was up. Caine said.
The first weapon dropped on four TOOH was specifically designed
to remove the concrete caps. They adjusted the plan from there.
Weapons two, three, four, and five were designed to enter

(40:23):
the shaft, burrowed deep into the underground complex at more
than one thousand feet per second, and then explode. The
sixth bomb was designed as a flex weapon in case
one of the first five failed to achieve its intended effect.
He said, we don't grade our own homework. The intelligence

(40:45):
community does. He said the intelligence community is still assessing
the true damage of the strike. He indicated military planners
are confident the weapons were built, tested, and loaded properly.
Two the weapons were released on speed and on parameter three.
The weapons all guided to their intended targets and their
intended aim points for The weapons functioned as designed, meaning

(41:08):
they exploded. One of the pilots from a US fighter
that escorted the B two bombers said it was the
brightest explosion I've ever seen. It literally looked like daylight,
and there you go. The fifteen year plan and how

(41:31):
it happened. That's just come on, get some of that
way to go. America sixteen passed some growing evidence. All right, Floridians,

(41:55):
have you been accosted, maybe polite, to sign a petition
to put weed back on the ballot? I have. I've said, oh,
stop it, no, I'm not signing that. It's the worst
idea ever. So far, I've not had anybody belligerent, so

(42:20):
it's you know. But what's interesting to me is I
don't think they're following the law because they're getting people
to sign it, and those people aren't giving identification, social
Security numbers, things that validate who they are, which I
believe is now state law, and maybe it's state law
just as of July first. I don't know. I just

(42:42):
know that I didn't see it happening when I was watching.
What I do know is it would be a massive mistake.
And as is always the case, there is buyer's remorse
happening across the country where they've legalized weed, because studies
are showing the growing sorry evidence about weed is that

(43:07):
it's really, really bad. This ain't Grandpa's weed that he
smoked in the sixties. It's just not not that that
would make things any really that much better, but it's
infinitely more dangerous. Story here by Alex Berenson. The news

(43:28):
about marijuana keeps getting worse. As drug advocates pushed marijuana
legalization over the last fifteen years. They portrayed the drug
as harmless, mild and toxic, and with few side effects. Cannabis,
the term scientists prefer for marijuana, might even have medicinal value.
The truth is the opposite. States from Maine to California

(43:49):
that have legalized cannabis researchers and published to paper after
paper after paper showing its risks to heavy or daily users.
I don't mean the much cheese are falling asleep on
the couch. Powerful evidence links drugs the drug to heart attacks, strokes,
severe mental illness, even suicides. Recent Gallup poll even the

(44:13):
deep blue state of New York, almost twice as many
residents say cannabis legalization has hurt their quality of life
has helped it. Scientists in Boston reported cannabis users under
fifty had a six fold higher risk of heart attacks
compared to people who didn't. Canadian researchers in February found

(44:36):
hospitalized people hospitalized with diagnosis cannabis abuse were six times
as likely to die as the average person over the
next five years. Suicides and trauma related deaths made up
much of the increase. The lists go on and on
and on, and every time I say the words it

(45:00):
it is a gateway drug, I get pushedback. No, it's not,
Yes it is, No, it absolutely is. Well, how do
you know you've you said you've never you've never done
any of that stuff, Because I've talked to people in
Teen Challenge that are there for drug abuse addiction, and

(45:21):
they all to a person have said their gateway drug
was weed. And I'm not talking about Jesus. I'm going
back to the nineteen eighties when I first started doing
fundraisers for Teen Challenge in Phoenix, Arizona, where the eventual
national president of Teen Challenge, a guy ironically named snow Peabody.

(45:46):
I guess that he might have gotten the nickname from
you know, But but I've known this for years. Is
marijuana the gatewood Know alcohol is to but weed absolutely is.
And legalizing it will make it more accessible to young people.

(46:08):
That's what's happening in all of these other states. More
and more kids are getting it more and more children
are ingesting it. Why because it's legal and so it's
all over the place, and because it is younger people.
Well it's not for younger people. Whatever. I'm just I

(46:32):
am gonna keep beating this drum in the hopes of
defeating this ridiculous amendment again, and maybe a second defeat
will spell its doom and it won't come back. I
don't know. There's a lot of money to be made,
and one company in particular is trying to write this.
It wrote the last Amendment to benefit just themselves, indemnifying

(46:53):
them from any legal lawsuits and demnifying them from competition.
I mean, it's insane, and so yeah, I'm going to
keep warning you. Twenty seven past the hour, come back,
big stories in the press box, Charlie Strickland. Next hour,
in our personal defense. Second, Welcome to the Morning Show

(47:16):
with Preston Scott. All right, So JD Vance cast the
deciding vote. It was fifty one point fifty. That's that
in and of itself just isn't a good sign. But

(47:39):
now it's back to the House. They are going to
allegedly vote today. But yesterday on the Morning Show, US
Congresswoman kat Cammick had this to say about what she
expected to come from the Senate and to be handed

(48:00):
back over to the House and what her concerns are.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
What we can confidently say is this is not the
House product that we sent over. What the House Speaker
is asking us to do is to basically pick up
whatever the Senate passes and just pass it out of
the House. Now, I personally have a problem with that
because if we are not removing illegals off of the
roles that are taking away precious resources from American citizens,

(48:27):
the problem. We're not kiding the border, that is a problem.
If we are not defunding this radical trans surgeries on
minors agenda that is part of the bill, that's a problem.
If we are not addressing the regulatory regime and the
administrative state, that is a problem. So we're seeing a

(48:50):
lot of different problems that aren't getting worked out. And
it all really comes down to the fact that you
have an unelected bureaucrat, the Senate parliamentarian who has stripped
out provision after provision, and I can tell you she's
being very much an activist in this space because you
look at the so called Inflation Reduction Act, you look

(49:11):
at the Green New Deal. You look at the Obamacare,
they all use the same process reconciliation, and there were
countless provisions where they were clearly not Germane, but they
remained in there. And so this parliamentarian really ought to
be fired. So we have a lot of work to do.

(49:33):
We're anticipating a very very tough week. But again we
are Amarantha first, and that means putting Americans first.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Well, she said some things there that first of all,
ought to warm the heart the concerns that she has
in terms of we're not going to move a bill
forward that's not the best it can be. There are
obviously going to be things that are not the way
we want them. Period. We have to get the tax cuts,

(50:04):
have to have to being politicians, other people know that,
and they want something in return. They're taking advantage of
the process to get things that some of us don't
like very much. But she said a couple things that
I think are important, notably the Senate parliamentarian should be fired.

(50:34):
So why wasn't she Why would the new Senate Majority
Leader John Thune not have come into office? I didn't know, honestly,
confession here, I didn't know anything about a Senate parliamentarian

(50:54):
able to craft take something, take a bill apart. Why
wouldn't John Thune have just said, you know, you've served,
it's time for us to get a fresh set of
eyes on things. Thank you for your service to our country.

(51:15):
He took over for Mitch McConnell. If you remember, Rick
Scott wanted the job. They didn't want Rick Scott. John Thune,
by almost everybody's appraisal, is Mitch McConnell, just a more sophisticated,
younger version. Mitch McConnell light doesn't have the entanglements with

(51:41):
China that Mitch McConnell has. But there are a lot
of people thinking that John Thune behind the scenes was
really torpedoing Trump's bill. He's just using the parliamentarian as cover,
which would explain why she wasn't fired or at the

(52:02):
very least when he took over. That learn from Trump's
first term. Trump kept too many insiders in positions, and
he paid a price. He's getting more done because he's
not following that same pattern. John Thune should have done
the exact same thing. He should have just let go

(52:25):
keep personnel, including the Senate parliamentarian, because the Senate Majority
leader makes that choice, we might not have another chance.
Is gonna be Chuck Schumer? Is it gonna be AOC?
Is she gonna run for the Senate win, and then
be the Senate Majority leader? Anyway, kat Camick. The other

(52:51):
point she made was I understand the president once of
July fourth, but that really doesn't matter. I don't work
for him. I work for the American peace. We want
to pass as policies, but my responsibilities to the American
public period, and if it isn't done by July fourth,
so be it. I specifically asked her that question. Forty

(53:14):
one minutes after the hour yesterday's program made a promise

(53:39):
that I was going to share some ideas that listeners
had related to the ice block app. If you missed
yesterday's program, an app has been developed. It's being promoted
on the CNN News shows the various anchors hosts that
alerts illegal immigrants if ICE enforcement officers are nearby. It

(54:08):
is a warning system for illegal immigrants. It's a free app.
It allows people to anonymously load tips on where ICE
is to alert illegals so they can vamoose. See what
I did there? So I started getting emails and this

(54:30):
is just a sampling of them. Larry wrote in heard
the story about the Ice block app? Another liberal idea
that was not thought out. People that are sick of
illegal immigrant policies in this nation can get the app
and start posting bogus alerts at areas where the illegals
are working. This would decimate the workforce on large construction sites,

(54:54):
just like we saw a few weeks ago in Tallahassee.
The one on Game Street is not fully recovered. When
I drive by there, I see less than a dozen
workers on the project. Have a good day. Michael wrote
in could all US conservatives nationwide download this and have
a coordinated timeline to put all put in Fox reports
in order to crash the app? Carl writes in I

(55:19):
think I'll download the app and then just start tapping
locations or tap whenever I see illegals. Could work in
reverse and give ICE some help. James wrote in that
app will end if enough people file false reports of
ice activity near places where one thinks illegals are working.

(55:39):
He laughed out loud to himself. He'd giggles, Sorry, I
sometimes amuse myself. No, you will are all on it,
and that's exactly what needs to happen. I First of all,
allegedly the Light House has asked the Department of Justice

(56:02):
to investigateive CNN broke the law by promoting this. Secondly,
if the app itself is a violation of the law
for aiding in a betting. But let's get to the idea.
I don't want anybody who's here legally to lose a job,

(56:24):
lose their status. Sorry, someone who's did, I say, illegally,
someone who's here legally to lose their job, their status there, whatever,
if they've got a green card that they're allowed to
legally work here, I do bless you. Why because you
did it the right way. Now, I'm not talking about

(56:44):
someone who paid twelve grand for a false ID. There
are employers that think that's okay. Well, they paid for
a false ID, they paid for an idea, they paid
for an identity. Yeah, but it's not their identity. It
doesn't matter they're here illegally. I don't want to harm

(57:07):
people that have done nothing wrong. I don't want to
harm people that have done something wrong, unless they're gang bangers.
I do want accountability, and so if there are places
where illegals are suspected, it might be good to put
that out there, because here's what's going to happen. If

(57:29):
you think, if you're just nationwide now, you think illegals
are working at a job site, tap it ice may
or may not be coming. I don't know, but they're
going to leave the job site if they're there illegally.
If they're not there illegally, they'll keep working. No harm done. Right. See,

(57:56):
I'm sick of employers getting away with this. And that's
what Florida Republicans don't give a crap about. Forty seven
minutes passed the hour. A truly horrifying story is next,
and I'm not kidding.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Listen just to hear what he's going to say next
the morning Show at Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WMLA.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Oh boy, this indirectly ties to well, not indirectly, this
directly ties to our personal defense segment coming up next
hour at Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. I
did not know anything about the story, Jose. Had you

(58:54):
heard anything about a pastor William shown Aman New River
Bible Chapel in Arizona. Nope, I haven't heard. I believe
in his seventies, small little church. This the Bible believe
in church. This is received virtually no media coverage outside

(59:19):
the immediate area. This was sent to me by the
lead research assistant from The Blaze. Pastor William was not
just murdered in his home. He was crucified with a

(59:44):
crown of thorns shoved on him. The guy who killed
him is doing every interview possible. He's a media whore,
and the media is obliging putting him on the air
all the time. He's not only confessed to the killing,

(01:00:08):
but admitted that he had plans to kill four more
pastors in Arizona and others across the country. He said
he was on a divine mission to purify Israel of
anyone who teaches that Jesus is the son of God.
His logic, you can't kill the son of God, so

(01:00:29):
Jesus isn't the son of God. Therefore anyone who says
otherwise must die. So he targeted any pastor who preached
that God forgives sinners through Christ. In other words, according
to the writer of this, who happens to be a
pastor in the same community where this man was murdered,

(01:00:50):
and he wondered if he was on the hit list
he hunted Christians. We are seeing this happen. The personal
defense segments that I do with Charlie and JD were

(01:01:11):
largely birthed out of the need to equip churches to
this growing reality. We talked about the case in Michigan
just a couple of weeks ago. Guy was prepared to

(01:01:33):
kill dozens and dozens of men, women and children were
it not for the quick thinking of a late arriving
deacon who ran him down with his pickup truck and
then he was shot and killed by members of the
security team. Christians are facing growing persecution in America and

(01:02:05):
this I just crucifixion. He crucified the man and thinks
that he's doing God's work. We're gonna come back. Turn
the page to our number three. Here on the Morning Show,

(01:02:27):
Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group is going to
join us our personal defense segment. Don't miss it next.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
And here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
It is the third hour and it's the first Wednesday
of the month. It's July second show, fifty four six
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Jose, I'm
Preston and this, ladies and gentlemen, is the one and
oldly Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group, co host
of Talent Outdoors, Hello.

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
Good morning, how are you. I'm doing fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Tell everybody about the Camo because I was just telling
you the camo is is that's sporty stuff that looks good.

Speaker 5 (01:03:22):
Somebody's comment on we were wearing camo and on one
of our TikTok videos from our show, and somebody said
it was it was what credit? I mean, man, it
was it was it's rough. You put yourself out there
on that and you get some insults. And I said,
that's coming from somebody wearing camouflages inside and I was
I was thinking, so what do you take yours off

(01:03:42):
when you go inside or what? What are you trying
to say? No, but this is a game Guard brand
of shirts out of Texas, and we like, uh, the
put our logos on these a real comfortable and we'd
sell the brand. It's the only thing only clothing we
sell in our stores branded stuff for Talent. We're not
trying to get into clothing business. But they had this

(01:04:04):
Texas version of Camo that we saw on one of
our hunting trips and and I didn't really like that
that version, and it came out with this digital version,
and it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
It's unlike a lot of CAMO that I've seen, because
a lot of CAMO is big, broad patterns. This is
more intricate, right, more detailed.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
It's just it's different.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
It's like brush. It's a brush cameo.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
Yeah, it's it's the digital camos are have a different
visual look. I mean, actually, I'm just using a lot
of words. Whatever. It looks cool.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, how about that? It does looks good.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
And uh, we did the Hunter Orange logo on it.
It's just where are we sitting talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Well, because we are we are a renaissance show. We
talk about anything and everything around.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Oh man, let's talk about hurting people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Yeah, especially bad people.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Particular. I don't want to hurt anybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I was just talking about and I don't know if
you caught it on the way, in the story of
a pastor in Arizona that literally a guy broke into
his home and crucified him. I heard that and had
a hit list of other pastors. I know. There is
intelligence that I got. I was privy to that showed
that there is active surveillance going on inside Christian churches

(01:05:25):
large and small across the country from people that are
just simply surveilling what the church does and how they
do it. We don't know why, it's just happening. And
then we had the active shooter situation in Michigan.

Speaker 5 (01:05:39):
Well, there's a fine line between religious fanaticism and mental illness.
I mean, there's strong beliefs for one thing, but when
you want to hurt other people for them and you're
doing that, I mean, same thing on the right and
the left. I mean, there are crazy people everywhere, and
mental illness is a crisis in this country. And we

(01:05:59):
don't pep. We don't put people away anymore. We don't
hospitalize them and pull them out of society. We leave
them roaming the streets, living in homeless camps and living
in neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
And the number was seventy six percent of the people
homeless in the country are dealing with mental health issues.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
And they roam the streets of Tallahassee Inland County every
day all day and they're violent, and people go, oh,
poor them, Yeah, well poor you if you're not careful,
because you know, you never know what's going to flip
the switch. Yes, and in the Michigan shooting, you know
they're saying, well that, well we believe this meant this
man suffered from mental illness. Well yeah, you think. I

(01:06:37):
mean he didn't leave any kind of he didn't leave
anything behind to explain what his political agenda was. He
remember he'd been there a few times and he and
you say, okay, well we have a church security team.
Anybody that goes here, they would never come here because
they would know that we have a church security team.

(01:06:57):
Well he probably should have known that, and he picked
a fight that he was that they were ready for.
And see, that's what encourages me. I mean, the tragedy
of the event and the events like this. And there
was a Southerland Springs thinks, you know, and that's what
this guy was trying to emulate. He was going back
and that's this these you see things. And that's why

(01:07:18):
I don't like to publicize names and faces. And thank
you to that because I used I used the faces
of my active shooter courses to show that there there's
a variety of people, but I don't we never say
their name. So he saw what happened out there, and
I think he was trying to emulate that because he
set it up the same way. I'm going in with

(01:07:38):
a long gun and a handgun, body armor. I'm going
I'm going to shoot up front of the church and
I'm going to make entry. Well, he didn't get that
opportunity because those people and that particular church were ready.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
And I want to talk about the readiness portion because
this was a little different though in how someone intervened
that wasn't necessarily on the security tape. You don't have
to be on the team to write right. We're going
to get to all that. Ten minutes past Charlie Strickland
with me, co founder of the Talent Training Group, co
host of Talent Outdoors on The Morning Show with Preston
Scott twelve past the Hour. Charlie Strickland Personal defense. He

(01:08:21):
of the Talent Training Group. Talentrange dot com is where
you can go learn about training and being a member
out there at the range and getting better at your
self defense skills. Let's talk about that Michigan situation because
in this case there were active members of the security
team that were involved, but also a deacon that just
was late to church.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
Absolutely showed up, saw a person with a long gun
of handgun and body armor going towards the church and
start shooting at the church and said, you know what,
I might not have a gun, but I've got a
four thousand pound four wheel weapon here or whatever. People
just need you need to understand that when deadly forces

(01:09:03):
justified deadly force of any kind. I mean, you can
drop a bomb on him if you had one. You
get in trouble for having the bomb, but you know
ATF may get involved. But the fact is is deadly
force is deadly force. Running someone over with the vehicle
is a very very viable option for you if such
situation presents itself, and in this case it did. I

(01:09:26):
will tell you that. I mean, I am very armed,
and I am very trained, and I am very prepared
to help out in a situation. But I mean, I
you know, you know, situational awareness, and I go over
things in my head, and I'm still a law enforcement officer,
and I still think like a cop and always will
even when I decide I don't want those standards anymore.

(01:09:47):
And I think about it. If I'm driving down the
interstate and I see a trooper up ahead, and he's
involved in a shooting and he's taking cover behind his
car and there's somebody there shooting at the trooper. I'm
running that, dude. I've already played it over in my head.
I know what I'm gonna do. I mean, And that's
that's how you react quickly as you think about it.
I wonder if that person at the church that hero

(01:10:11):
saved countless lives by intervening.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Children performing a children's program.

Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
Yeah, and so I wonder had that person ever thought
about that situation or did they just pull that out
of the air when the time occurred. I'm thinking that
he probably considered it before, because it's hard to come
up with stuff like that on the spur of the moment,
it really is. I mean, so I think that person
probably had considered what would I do if? And so

(01:10:38):
that for all of the listeners out there, what would
you do if something like that occurred? And are you
what are you prepared to do to save lives? And
what are you physically and mentally prepared to do in
any situation that might come up? And I don't want
you to beat yourself up and walk around thinking, oh
my lord, what would I do if I go, you know,
sitting in a movie theater, what would Yeah, But I

(01:10:59):
do want you to consider it the fact that where's
the exit, how many people are between you and there
are you close to what?

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Do you? You know?

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
Just just go over it and then you get that pencil,
that peace of mind knowing that I have a plan,
and you can then relax a little bit and go.
I mean, yeah, I sit in a restaurant with sort
of face in the doors. I sort of see what's
coming and going. I'm not freaked out. I'm not being
paranoid exactly. I just now can settle in and feel
a little more peaceful and a little more relaxed, and
I can enjoy my time on my family because now

(01:11:27):
I'm not concerned about what was that noise I'm having
to look over my shoulder. I mean, it's not a
paranoid lifestyle. It's a prepared lifestyle. And churches, everybody in
a church should should be ready for.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
That in case. In the case of this shooting in Michigan,
what's interesting to me is not just the actions of
the deacon that hit him with the truck, but that
that wasn't all that ended it. The guy survived being
hit by the truck and was preparing to fire again,
and that's when the security team dispatched him.

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
Right. And if your church or your temple, or your
synagogue or whatever your house of worship is, if you
don't have an armed security team, then you are just
waiting to be a victim if you don't or if
you don't have security. I have. I have a security
company and we work security at local places houses of worship.
And then there are the people hire off duty law

(01:12:18):
enforcement and people have armed teams, as you very well know.
And if you don't have those things in place, it's
like the school guardian program would mean, if you don't
have armed people in the schools, if you don't have
if you don't, if you if you hire security to
work your business, and you want I want unarmed security.

(01:12:39):
Why you just want somebody to get shot first, because
it's not gonna stop anything. It's not, It doesn't, it
doesn't do anything. And I struggle with the concept. You know,
I teach active shooter all the time for large organizations.
And right now, but everything going on, we're getting phone calls.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
I bet you are. We're going to talk more next
with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Seventeen past
the hour and we are back Charlie Strickland of the

(01:13:20):
Talent Training Group with me our personal defense segment. We're
talking about the active shooters scenario in Michigan. What are
specifics You said, You've been getting plenty of calls and
I don't doubt that at all. This segment sort of
started based on all of that.

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
Yes, it did. Thank you for all of the publicity
over the years, because it's you know, I remember when
this started with you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
It was.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
Just an idea to start talking about how people could
be safer in the community. And over all of these
years and it's been a lot of years. Yeah, I
like to think we've made a difference in a few
people's lives. And certainly you know, so what happened after
the FSU situation and the Michigan situation is that and

(01:14:08):
now you've got dambush firefighters and all this going to
You've got constantly and I part of my presentation when
I do active shooter training, and here's the thing is
you can get active shooter training in a thirty minute
video online. You know, run, hide, fight there. You got
that think I saved you twenty nine minutes right there.
In forty five seconds. You just run, hide, slash, barricade, fight.
That's the jest of it. And you can bring in

(01:14:30):
law enforcement agencies and they do a fine job. I
do a less sanitized version. Yeah, you do a little
less politically correct. I'm not offensive, don't get me wrong.
But I talk about the things you have to do
in real life. And I talk about situational awareness, and
I talk about mental preparedness, and I talk about threat assessment,
and I talk about what happens to us in critical

(01:14:52):
incident stress. All the things that we've covered over on
the show over the years, and I try to cram
it into ninety minutes. I've got one organization once in
an hour some of the fast, but I'm going to
cover all the material, and you know it's it's from nonprofits.
I've said in my I've sat in my studio and
did nine states worth the nonprofits in a zoom meeting
one time for for active futer training.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
It's mind if I laugh at that for a second,
I'm gonna make fun of whoever the group is it
says they want it in an hour. That was much
to help us save our lives. But we need you
to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
It's it's a scheduling issue and it's a half hour.
But I can, I can, I can. I can do it.
I just have to cut out the jokes and the
and the and the good times, and I have to
focus on the task at hand. But I've done it before.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
What are the most important considerations? There are people listening
right now. They're part of houses of worship, They're part
of businesses and organizations that really need to be thinking
about this, and probably are whether they're talking about is another.

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
Store somebody there is?

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
So what what are the first considerations.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
For Let's okay, focus on houses of worship. First, you
you've got to get past whoever is in charge of
this organization, be it a pastor some You've got to
talk to that person and try to get buy into
the fact that we need to protect this house of worship.
We need to protect our own. There are people there
that can't protect themselves. We owe it to them, period.

(01:16:16):
So once you can get the idea that we need
to do something, then you need to make a decision.
There's three ways you can go about this. One you
can hire law enforcement to be there, if you have
the budget and the size of an organization to do that,
it's probably north of fifty bucks an hour. Now you're
getting somebody in on a Sunday or whatever day you're at, well,
you really need you need more than someone and you

(01:16:38):
need more people. Yeah, and your that's plan a a
uniform presence, you know, be it armed security or law enforcement.
I mean you can those are your your hire a
mercenary to come protect your place. That's what you're doing.
You're getting a soldier of fortune to come in there
and get paid to protect your house of worship. But

(01:16:58):
that's just the out a perimeter. Okay. But if you
don't want to go that router, you can't afford to
spend the money, then what you what you need to
be doing is building your own safety team. Now, is
this team going to be armed or unarmed? Well, if
it's unarmed, and you probably quit listening to converse. You
probably don't listen to this show because your mindset is

(01:17:19):
somewhere else. And if you're not willing to arm yourself
to protect, if you're not willing to protect the lives
of people by taking a life, then you know we're
not Okay, get you some bare spray and put stack
five people at the door and tackle anybody. You don't know.
I don't know what else to tell you. I mean,
that's that's it's it's dangerous. But once you've approached the
subject and you've decided we're going to do something with

(01:17:41):
armed citizenry in here, within the organization needs to think
about are we going to do this as an organization
and get insurance and do all this, or are we
going to have an informal team who is going to
do this on their own, which is perfectly fine. I'm
not endorsed by the organization, so we don't have to
worry about the the the insurance because it doesn't matter

(01:18:01):
in the criminal courts one way or the other. Use
of forces, use of forces justified it. It's not in
a castle doctrine stands your ground. Castle doctrine is not
going to apply to church. It's going to be standing
your ground. Were you in reasonable fear of death and
great bodily harm, you know, for yourself or others, and
did you act reasonably under the circumstances. I mean, that's
that's It's fairly simple. And once you decide that we're

(01:18:22):
going to do something. Then you need to have a
conversation with that team, have someone in charge coordinate training,
talk about what your policies are, talk about how you're
going to encounter people who are not offering lethal force.
You know, how you're going to de escalate, how you're
There's all these things you get into and it's a
long conversation. But you know, once you've broached the subject

(01:18:45):
of how are we going to approach this, then you
start putting the pieces of the puzzle. Then we can
help with that. I mean, it's advice is free. I mean,
training costs money, but advice is free. And plus we'll
still go out and look at your place and give
you some ideas. I mean call and talk to us.
I mean, I'm happy to give advice.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Charlie Strickland with us. A couple more segments still to come.
Personal Defense here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Let's get to it thirty six past the hour. Charlie Strickland.

(01:19:24):
Two more segments here in our Personal Defense. We got
a question we're going to get to in just a
few minutes. But first I shared with Charlie a news
article from Fox News and something we talked about a
few weeks ago on the show, and it's this new
trend of jugging is what they're calling it. But it's
just the same old thing, just doing it again.

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
Yeah, that's a term that I think on Actually Fred
would have a good time with. I'm sure Fred would
have a good time. So yeah, so it's nothing new.
It's just that it's a trend and they've come up
with a term, and it's like anything. And here's the danger.
So what this is people watch you go to an
ATM or a bank or somewhere where you're retrieving a

(01:20:07):
bunch of money, and they follow you somewhere. So it's
not at a protected area where there's a lot of cameras,
and they will follow you home, or follow you to work,
or follow you wherever.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
The example in there was to a gas station to
get out of the car and get a soda.

Speaker 5 (01:20:20):
Yes, and then they rob you and they steal whatever
cash valuables that you have retrieved. And that's that's a burglary.
It's an arm robbery. It's and the thing is it
doesn't always include you supports. You get out of your
car and walk over to do something. They jump in
your car and grab whatever you had, whatever you left there.
And so there's nothing new about this, but the fact

(01:20:42):
that it's a trend and it's now has a name
that's going to catch on and people It's like the
TikTok challenges and the stupid stuff that people do because
they see it online or they hear about it. And
when we publicize stuff like this, you know, like you know,
the news media making a big deal out of it. Hey,
it's this new robbery trend. Well it's going to be
a trend now because it's in the news. You know,

(01:21:03):
it's it's it just it could have been a local thing,
but it'll it'll the minute you say this is something
that's like active shooter stuff, you know, hey, I want
to outdo that guy. That guy, So yeah, this is
this will be a new term. So to combat it, well,
first off, be aware that it's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
I was just gonna say this is what we've said
from the beginning of these segments, situational awareeness.

Speaker 5 (01:21:25):
Just be aware of what's going on. First off, yeah,
this is happening. Okay. The same thing with being bumped
in traffic and pulling into a parking lot and somebody
running up and robbing you. All they did was bump
you to get you to pull over because you were
required by a law to pull over and exchange information.
They run up and rob you or steal your car
and put you out in the street. And that happens,
and you know, it used to happen a lot more,
but it still goes on in this country. And all

(01:21:47):
these things happen in phases. The one thing that does
happen almost daily in this community is people leaving firearms
in their car and they're not locking their car up,
and they're getting their firearms stolen. So, you know, like
your vehicle and take your gun into your house, and
so this stuff you need to be looking around you.
And if you go and you handle cash on a
regular basis. My stepmam used to work at the phone company,

(01:22:10):
Marian and at the end of the month, everybody would
come in and pay their phone bill and she would
walk three buildings down to go to the night drop
after hours with one hundred thousand dollars in an envelope.
And I'm like, if I ever get broken, I know
where I'm going to go, you know, So you've got
to be aware of the situation. You're in and then
you need to look around and you need to be

(01:22:30):
you need to see it is somebody following me out
of parking lot, somebody watching me, it's you know, with
you And then what are you justified in doing? Keep
in mind that you're justified and using deadly force or
someone's committing an armed felon, a violent felony against you.
An armed robbery is in fact, that burglary of your
vehicle while you're in it. They're attempting or to force,

(01:22:52):
being unlawfully enter you're occupied conveyance. Deadly force is authorized.
Maybe you don't shoot them, but you can drive away.
And if you run over their foot, so be it.
And we'll be looking for the limping guy. I mean,
you know, put out a bolo for the guy with
a limp. So look around you and pay attention. I mean,
that's how you combat this. Law enforcement's gonna catch these folks,

(01:23:12):
but it's up to you. Only you can prevent arm robberies.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Situational awareness.

Speaker 5 (01:23:20):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
It's a common theme. We're going to make a record
and have somebody put music to it. Get Billy Dean
to put some music to it. Situational awareness Charlie JD
JD and pressed, Oh what a.

Speaker 5 (01:23:34):
Trio that would be probably listening right now, so probably
this is a time of day. JD listens.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
All right, we got more to come here in the
morning show. All right, forty one almost forty two minutes past,
running a minute late here, that's all right, we got time.
It's my show. As long as I don't take time

(01:23:58):
from Glenn back, I'm fine. I can take as much
time as I need. Until then, we are joined by
Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. He co hosts
Talent Outdoors heard Saturdays on these fine radio stations. And Charlie,
we got a phone call, according to Jose, from a listener. Jose,
what did the listener want Charlie to address? All right,
so the young lady wanted to know what does she

(01:24:22):
do with unused and unwanted ammunition?

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Okay, well there's a couple of solutions. You can turn
it into the Sheriff's office and they will destroy it
for you. Okay, if you just I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Is old?

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
How old is old? Ammo?

Speaker 5 (01:24:39):
Well, another thing you can do you can bring it
to us and we'll take care of it for you.
We'll destroy it. We're not going to resell it or
give it to anybody else, but we'll look at it
if it's worth shooting, and we'll use it for training
or something. But you know, nine times out of ten
that stuff comes in and we dispose of it ourselves.
So it's not age. It's conditioned. Okay, if it's stored inside,

(01:25:01):
it can be very old and still be good. If
it's not, it's not exposed to humidity and the elements
and the boxes haven't gotten wet. You know, it's it's
humidity and oil. If it doesn't have oil on it,
then it's probably gonna be fine for a long, long,
long time.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Help me out with the humidity quotion here. If someone's
storing it in their garage, it's not exposed to heat,
it's in an enclosed space with air moving. Maybe they
got a fan or something in the garage. Is that
low humidity enough?

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
Probably, because you know, if it's if it's like reloaded stuff,
that may not hold up as well. A lot of
factory AMMO is going to be fine. Yeah, okay, you know,
because it's it's not like one of the worst things
for AMMO is to like have excessive oil on your primers,
you know, gun solvent things like that. When you're cleaning
your guns. You want to take the ammunition out of magazines,

(01:25:50):
and you know when you're cleaning the magazine. If you're
not cleaning the magazine, you don't have to take it
out of the magazine, but you don't want you don't
want excessive oil on the on the the face. We're
the in the chamber where the round, especially where the
primer is and the bolt face. A lot of times
you'll have accessib oil and stuff that gets on the
primer and over time it can seep into where the

(01:26:11):
primer parkeet is and can make that not work properly.
So I've stored AMMO and the attic and the garage.
I wouldn't recommend putting it in a hot, hot attic,
but you know mine's different.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
But for the questioner, the bottom line is you can
get rid of it through law enforcement or take it
to the Talon outfit.

Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
You bring it to us, we'll get rid of.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
It the ranger, the store either.

Speaker 5 (01:26:36):
It doesn't matter either either. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
All right, training tip, So follow range rules.

Speaker 5 (01:26:42):
I mean when when so this is this is when
you draw it out of me things we talk about
on the break. I don't want to talk about on
the show, but you have to talk about this, okay.
So the range rules are there for a reason. Don't
shoot steel the target frames, don't I mean use your sights.
If you got a long gun, make sure you're using
your sights, and not just that. I had a guy

(01:27:04):
one time with a battery went dead on his red
dot site and he just started shooting down range and
cranking rounds into the ground and over the berm and
you know, and it was it was one of those
there was a rear inche and it went on down there.
And I hate doing that to grown men. But when
you do something that's silly, you know, eye protection, people
get injured. Sometimes guns blow up, you know, especially if

(01:27:26):
you're doing your own handloads. Wear closed collar shirts particularly.
We've had a couple of situations that I'm very I'm
familiar with where someone their wives didn't wear a closed
collar shirt and there's something called cleavage, and a hot
round down there will make you do silly things, and
that happens regularly. I know of a couple of instances
where someone suffered a book a gunshot wound because their

(01:27:50):
wife had that happen. You're a kidding, No, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
So the discharge shell went inside the cleavage and the
reaction it's hot, yeah, okay, and the reaction to that
caused the discharge.

Speaker 5 (01:28:04):
Well, I don't know what it feels like to get
a hot round in my cleavage, but I do know
what a piece of hot steel when I'm wedding feels like.
And then let me do stupid things and having a
gun in my hands not that's not a good time
for that.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
So people have been accidentally shot, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:19):
Yeah, And I mean people have been shot drawing from
their holster, reholstering, their finger on the trigger. There's so
many ways as you can injure yourself or your spouse.
So just be careful, follow the rules. Finger off the trigger, okay.
When when when we have people come out and we

(01:28:39):
look and it's not necessarily a thing with guys, but
with ladies it is. We want you, we want to
wear a close collar shirt, but we're not going to
We're not gonna make you. And I certainly don't want
to pick one out at the range and go, ma'am
you need I'm not because then the husband goes why
are you looking well. I'm just trying to save you
from being injured shot if that occurs, you know, and

(01:28:59):
it's absolutely you know, I totally get it. But things happen.
So Faullow range rules.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Thank you, appreciate you coming in. Good to see you, good,
see thank you. It's just gonna wait long enough for
you to offer that one see the clock. I don't
know what that's why you rely on me.

Speaker 5 (01:29:16):
I believe you're gonna we're gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
Say good to see you two, but I wasn't sure.
All right. Charlie Strickland with us from the Talent Trading
Group our Personal Defense segment here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. This story just required my attention because

(01:29:51):
it just amazes me. Twenty one year old British woman
earned three Guinness World records. Zarah Laughlin, twenty one, set
out from Lagos, Portugal on a twenty four foot boat
and rowed four thousand, three hundred and sixty six miles

(01:30:17):
thirty seven thirty seven hundred and ninety four nautical miles
to Cayenne, French Guinea, a trip that lasted ninety seven days,
ten hours and twenty minutes. First female to row across
the Atlantic from Europe to South America. Youngest person to
row solo across the Atlantic from Europe to South America,

(01:30:40):
the youngest person to row any ocean solo as a female.
She rowed seventeen road, seventeen hours a day, never sleeping
for more than ninety minutes at a time. She said,
it doesn't work for everyone, but I'm young. I know
I can work off that my out of sleep. It

(01:31:01):
can work off that amount of sleep. I mean, this
was no ordinary kayaker rowboat. Mind you, this was made
for the task. But that's just impressive. Rowing forty three

(01:31:22):
hundred plus miles. Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.
It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. My thanks to
Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Useful intel as always,
and as he mentioned, if you listen to our segments,
it could save your life or that of a friend

(01:31:45):
or loved one or others if you listen, if you
put into practice, if you take seriously, if you take
the responsibility to own a gun for personal defense, and
you take the responsibility seriously and train and prepare and
use the tips and the things that we talk about

(01:32:07):
it can save your life. Big stories. In the press box,
we talked about the bill. Let you listen to Kat
Camick from yesterday's show, where she zeroed in on the
challenges that are ahead in the House. And it's in
the House right now. The Senate passed a very different
build than the one that went to the Senate from

(01:32:28):
the House, and so now it's up to the House
to try to figure out a way if they can
make it work, otherwise it has to go back to
the Senate. I don't care if it happens by July fourth.
President wants a different kind of fireworks to set off
on July fourth. I get it, I get it, but
I don't care. The bill needs to be the best
of the options available. Marijuana not harmless, and studies are

(01:32:51):
showing more and more evidence. Talked about the secret fifteen
year plan behind these strikes in Iran went into detail
on that Chicago abortion clinic opens up offering third trimester abortions.
Don't tell me it doesn't happen, they're advertising it. Who
is running the White House? We discussed that and Hershey

(01:33:12):
now on board removing all synthetic food dies by twenty
twenty seven, so we're making progress there. Tomorrow Steve Stewart
Road Trip, Idea, Animal Stories, and some hard trews on
vaccines
