Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Let be and true music. Settle in, roll out the
Dulca tones, say good morning. How are you welcome, Cubby.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott Wednesday, August sixth.
He is Jose, I'm Preston at show fifty four to
twenty five. But who's counting more on this date in

(00:34):
history of mere moments, And before we tell you about
the program, let's do what's most important. Start our day
together checking in on God's word. Matthew four. Temptation Jesus
being tempted. And this is really controversial for a lot
of people's brains. It's not, it's just for some people's brains.

(00:55):
This is really hard, Okay, so stay with me. This
is a third if I'm not mistaken. Temptation here again.
The devil took him to a very high mountain. Who's
him Jesus, and showed him all the kingdoms of the

(01:15):
world and their glory. And he said to him, all
these I will give you if you will fall down
and worship me. Jesus said to him, begone, Satan, for
it is written you shall worship the Lord your God,

(01:36):
and him only shall you serve. And the devil left
him and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
Who Jesus. Here's the part that people really struggle with.

(01:56):
Did you notice that when Satan said, I'm going to
give all of this to you, Jesus did not say
it's not yours to give. Jesus did not question his
authority to hand it over. It's an interesting little subplot. Remember,

(02:25):
we are in this world, we're not of it. This
world has fallen. This is a fallen world, and Satan
was handed some level of authority. Now it's superseded by

(02:46):
God's and wherever a Christian speaks in the name of Jesus,
that carries greater weight. Because look what happened. Jesus said, no,
you only worship God. Be gone and he left. But

(03:07):
his authority wasn't questioned to hand over the kingdoms of
the world. I just thought that was interesting. I think
that is a very interesting little sidebar point to consider here.
I think it's helpful because we are navigating in waters

(03:28):
that just are messed up. We're swimming upstream. You can
take your choice with any number of analogies to try
to drive home the point that being a Christian is
going against the flow of the current of the world.
Is there any doubting that, And that's been the case

(03:53):
since the Fall. It's nothing new. You could argue that
perhaps the era that we are in is making it
even more difficult to swim against that current and not
get swept away. But this is you know, this is

(04:20):
a tale as old as God's word because it documents
and one of the reasons that we spend time in
biblical archaeology on this show pointing out, well, look at
this like we talked about a story last week about
the Tabernacle where the before the Temple was built in Jerusalem,

(04:42):
where for roughly four centuries the Israelites worshiped God, and
the sacrificial remains and everything. It's all there. It's there.
The Biblical story is history, and it affirms our faith.

(05:03):
It reminds us that where we are hanging our hat
in the world of faith is not a mistake. It's
something to have confidence in. And so as you read
these historical accounts of Jesus and the Mount of Temptation,
these should encourage your faith. Satan tries to deceive, but

(05:26):
he has a degree of authority, and the only thing
that supersedes that is Jesus period end ten past the hour.
Let's go into the American Patriots Almanac. Next here on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning

(05:49):
Show with Preston Scott. August sixth, seventeen eighty seven. The
Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia begins to debate a draft of
the proposed US Constitution. If you ever look, Philly is

(06:10):
a train wreck, right all right, But they have the
old historic Philadelphia is an absolute must. It just is now. Personally,
I'd probably take a train in, take a commuter rail in,

(06:30):
and wander around and get on that commuter rail and
get out. That's probably what I would do, because that's
what I did do. But Philadelphia is absolutely positively you've
got to go. You've got to see where it all happened.
You can walk into the room where they debated the

(06:51):
birth of this nation. You can walk into the room.
You can stand next to the Liberty Bell, you can
you can wander the streets. Right down the street from
convention the Constitutional Convention Hall. Right down the street is
the Museum of the American Revolution, which is spectacular. Sorry,

(07:19):
little little detour there, got a little got a little excited.
Nineteen forty five. So you go from seventeen eighty seven
all the way to nineteen forty five. For the next
noteworthy event of history. For August sixth, and it's a
big one, the US dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima

(07:39):
or Hiroshima. Nineteen sixty five, Lindon Johnson, President signs the
Voting Rights Act. He was dragged. He was dragged in
deciding that. Nineteen ninety six, NASA announces the American scientists
have found possible evidence of comitive forms of microscopic life

(08:02):
on Mars. Whatever man we are, we try so hard
to somehow say that evolution is a thing and that
you know, we just we just happened to evolve out
of the primordial soup. Whatever. I'm serious. It's like, really

(08:25):
you think that, do you? Okay? And twenty twelve, NASA's
curiosity rover lands on Mars. So there you go. Today
is National listen to this Social Engineering Day. Now. Social
engineering is a technique used by cyber criminals to manipulate

(08:46):
people into disclosing sensitive information and compromising digital safety. So
it's not necessarily a good thing. On this day, we
emphasize the need to safeguard your data that's what That's
what this day is really supposed to be about. National
Fresh Breath Day. Minty or are you a cinnamon person

(09:11):
or are you a I don't know? And that kind
of it? Is it in that? Pretty pretty much? It
mint and cinnamon. Yeah, I mean some form of mint
and cinnamon. That's that's about it, right, I mean, what
would be what would be something you would want on

(09:32):
your breath? That would be I mean, wouldn't be awesome
if there was like a chocolate cake kind of would
you want that? Though? Would you want let's say, pizza
or garlic. I bet someone's out there making weird toothpaste

(09:57):
like that that that function is a toothpaste, but le
with a leave you with a different aftertaste and fresh breath,
fresh like fresh basil, or my wife would probably like
fresh cilantro. I don't know. National root Beer Float Day.

(10:19):
Uh huh. Root Beer floats are so underrated because when
you pour a good root beer on on vanilla ice cream,
and it has to be vanilla, there is no other
ice cream there none, don't don't even don't even don't
it's blasphemous to suggest any other ice cream but vanilla

(10:43):
with a root beer float. But what vanilla ice cream
does to turn root beer into just something even creamier
and better is just amazing. And it's National Wiggle your Tosday,
so have a it. Seventeen minutes past the hour, he did,

(11:04):
you know? And a pretty cool event coming to the
capital city. This is pretty funny under the category of
almost rich and famous. Did you know that Dick Evans

(11:28):
was one of the founding members of the band Feedback?
You're like, what right? Other members of the band, though,
thought Evans was too old, so they dumped him and
formed a new band. You two, how about that? That

(11:56):
poor guy? May you're too old, but but it's my
band I was from. Then they go on to be too.
I'm sorry that made me laugh. I told you about

(12:19):
a great event. It's music related. Now, I just want
to point out that ideas that I have brought to
this radio program over the years have been have been adopted.

(12:39):
Disney's now making incredible amounts of money off of it.
You might remember when the Tallassee Symphony performed at the
Tucker Center and did the entire score to Star Wars
a New Hope live as the movie played. Disney was

(13:04):
doing this across the country releasing the music score for
use and the movie would be played on the screen
while the orchestra played the music live. And that's brilliant.
I had suggested for years that they do. There was

(13:26):
a thing here I want to say it was Pops
in the Garden at McLay Gardens, where the Tallassee Pops
Orchestra or whatever would would do an event, and I
suggested that they get movie clips and do the music
from movies. Well, Disney rolls that thing out and now

(13:54):
this our friends at First Commerce Credit Union are sponsoring
a huge event at the Aadterlely Center, the Atterley Amphitheater
at Cascades Park Adterlely Center. I'm sorry, tell Us Symphony
will be performing the music of John Williams, a John

(14:17):
Williams Cinematic Celebration. All of the music will be from
movies that John Williams did the score to, So there
will be music from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter,
Jurassic Park, Superman, Jaws, and on and on and on.
If you look at the list of movies that John

(14:38):
Williams has scored, it will blow your mind. The guy's
a brilliant composer and his ability to come up with
themes for movies that are iconic. And so this is
going to be Friday, November seventh. The tickets go go

(15:00):
on sale this Friday. They started just thirty two dollars.
This is a family event. If there ever was one,
food trucks, beverage stations will be available. All you have
to hope for now is good weather. I mean, look,
if you're performing outdoors at an outdoor amphitheater, that's what

(15:21):
you get. But the gates open at six. I would
imagine there'll be a small section of reserve seating and
the rest will be general admission. So the event starts
at seven point thirty, gates open at six, Food trucks
around the area, pre show, fund and activities the whole
family can enjoy. This is an absolute winner. This is

(15:44):
a great event. And so my thanks and congratulations to
First Commerce, which, oh, by the way, all of you
Panama City listeners, First Commerce Credit Union is coming to
Panama City. Just letting you know you're going to a
great lender out there there. They're they're they're incredible. I've
been working with First Commerce for years. Anyway, they're partnering

(16:06):
with Leon County and Scott Scott car as well, and
bringing the event to the Atterley Amphitheater at Cascades Park.
So that's that's all I got. I think it's gonna
be great. Twenty seven minutes past the hour, come back
with the big stories in the press box. Got a
bunch of them. It's the Morning Show at Preston Scott

(16:29):
on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA thirty six
minutes past Good Morning Friends Wednesday on the Morning Show.
This is sort of breaking news, kind of uh, we

(16:53):
don't do that very often, but I thought this story
warranted being part of the big stories in that it's
Florida and it may involve the President indirectly or somewhat directly.
We don't know yet. Yesterday morning, authorities arrested a man

(17:15):
who had parked a vehicle a rental in restricted space
at the Palm Beach County Airport. Here's what makes this interesting.
That is an airport frequented by President Trump. Michael Rodriguez,
forty one, with no known local address, was reportedly quote

(17:36):
getting dressed, whatever that means. They opened up the glove
box to retrieve the rental agreement and found a fully
loaded AR fifteen magazine. Then they looked underneath a blanket
and found multiple knives in a loaded AR fifteen. He

(18:04):
was arrested, taken into custody, being interviewed. Don't know what,
if any formal charges will be made. Don't know, but
staff at the airport were concerned, so phoned authorities and
there you go. Just interesting, isn't it. Second Alligator Alcatraz

(18:31):
being ready to North Florida Camp Blanding near It's in
Stark It is. It's really kind of a premiere facility
used for the Florida National Guard Alligator Alcatraz, And I

(18:53):
have a source, I have a source inside. Can't say
anything else wouldn't be prudent. No, I'm not repeating anything
that I've been told at this point. I'm just not
going to compromise somebody's place. It just allows me to

(19:14):
have a better view of what's going on there, how
it's being operated and so forth. And so the prospect
of a second one, the governor was very pragmatic about it.
We're not doing one if one's at sixty percent. We're
not doing another one if one's full and remaining full,
and we need a second okay, and if that's a

(19:37):
location people are brought, so be it. Both of the
locations would have an airfield. That is very important and
it's brilliant. The idea is to deport people and fly
them back to their home country. As Christy Noam, director
of Homeland Security, is saying, hey self, deport seek you

(19:58):
and you won't have to worry about this. Speaking of immigrants,
illegal Chinese immigrant and an accomplice caught smuggling US microchips
to China. High end sophisticated US microchips used to specifically

(20:23):
for AI applications had been smuggled out for three years
two and a half to three years before they were caught.
That's not good. And Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee has
added Moms for Liberty as a hate group in their

(20:47):
training materials. Portion of the in service Trading slide show
reads members of Moms for Liberty whose Parents' Rights as
a vehicle to attack public education and make schools less
welcoming for minority in LGBT plus students. What a lie
from the pit of Hell. They're your big stories. Forty

(21:10):
minutes past the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston
Scott I thought this was just interesting, and maybe this
is the nerd in me that likes to know why,

(21:37):
just sort of the you know, I'm no more a
military expert than most of you are. You know, we
just we look at it and we apply what we
think we might do to certain situations. We know that
there are certain axioms in military warfare. You know, one

(21:57):
is control the high ground. That's that's a fundamental. But
I've been I was fascinated by the decision by President
Trump to announce that he was moving a couple of
nukes nuclear subs around a little bit, and so I

(22:22):
came across this article in town Hall by Dmitri Bolt
that goes into explaining this through the words of experts.
Jeane Moran, former Navy captain Pentagon strategic advisor, submarine deployments
are unverifiable. That's what gives them strategic value, but also

(22:46):
what makes the announcement clever if you're aiming for a headline.
Vice Admiral Mike Conner, former commander of US Submarine Forces,
said trump move is not as bold as people might
have made it out to be. He didn't really give
away much. He said, it's generally understood by our potential

(23:07):
adversaries that our submarines are out there. They've been out
there for sixty plus years and are able to strike
pretty much where they want, when they want, if needed.
He continued, It's more of a gentle message done this way.
It's not really in your face. It's just a reminder
of what already exists. A couple more comments here. Matthew Shoemaker,

(23:31):
former defense intelligence official, said the president just sending a message.
It's certainly unusual to announce it from an operational perspective,
which means this is primarily about sending a message to
the Russians rather than trying to achieve any military goal. However,
Brian Clark, a retired submarine officer director of the Hudson

(23:51):
Institute think tank Center for Defense Concepts and Technology, he
said it this way. We have used very sparingly submarines
to try to influence adversary behavior before, but this is
pretty unusual to do it against a nuclear powered adversary
like Russia in response to a nuclear threat by Russia.

(24:14):
So I think this is trying to essentially push back
on Russia's frequent and long standing threats to use nuclear
weapons as part of the Ukraine conflict. Personally, as I
weighed all of these things, because I read into this
and read a little bit more, I don't agree with
that assessment, that final assessment, I don't agree with I

(24:36):
think everybody else's view that this is just Trump being Trump.
He's just doing what presidents do. Reminding very gently, we
have submarines. You know it, we know it, but we're
going to remind you that we know that, you know that,
we know that you know it was it was. It

(25:02):
was a very subtle, little nudge, kind of a clearing
of the throat. Gentlemen, Thank you. That's kind of what
that was. Today on the program, J D. Johnson will
join us. We have much to discuss, so many stories.

(25:26):
My fear is I won't get through all of them
and the lessons they have for us in the world
of personal defense. If you are someone who carries, if
you are someone who is thinking about carrying concealed for
the purposes of personal defense for yourself, your family, if

(25:47):
you're a business owner, We're going to be touching on
all the topics related to it today very shallow. We
go in depth in other episodes of Personal Defense, but
today too many news stories We're just going to start
to plow through those, and that's coming up in the
third hour when we come back Parents and vaccine decisions

(26:15):
next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Some stunning
testimony revealed by doctor Peter McCullough in a May nineteenth

(26:48):
Senate hearing, and I think it's worth you giving this
a listen and we'll jump into it midway here. This
is his testimony.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Autopsy series published today. I know because I'm the senior
author of all the death death we examined and we
re reviewed them. We had an adjudication committee, we had
ways of arbitration deciding on did the vaccine cause death?
The answer is, of these cases that came in for
autopsy after vaccination, seventy three point nine percent of individuals

(27:29):
it was determined that the vaccine was the cause of death.
First off, there is Holshore in collegues, who's sitting right behind.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Me, seventy four percent. Right now, parents are pushing back
on vaccines, and I have said, I don't know how
many times that the medical community has a massive problem

(27:57):
in front of it regaining trust. Came across an article
in The Blaze. Lead research assistant sent it to Me,
written by Joseph McKennon. Roughly one third of parents with
children under five are going to refuse or delay government

(28:20):
recommended jobs. Keep in mind, the Biden administration mandated federal
employees get the job military. It spread into the private sector.
We were literally a week away at iHeart from being
mandated to get the job. I was not going to

(28:40):
get it. If I was going to lose my job,
so be it. It was not going to happen. I
made an appeal to our legal department. I said, wait,
there's a court case. You need to wait. I don't
know if that played a role, but we waited, and
eventually the mandates were determined to be illegal and unnecessary.

(29:11):
Study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
otherwise known as JAMMA, a lot of parents are no
longer willing to blindly trust the medical establishment when it
comes to vaccinations for their kids. According to the study,
thirty three percent of parents who have children under the

(29:31):
age of five indicated they will delay or refuse some
or all government recommended vaccines. That is problematic. I think
some are useful. I think some have not been studied
and need for their study to be even considered let
alone mandated, forty percent of parents said they planned to
load their child up on all the recommended vaccines. That's

(29:54):
the part that scares me. Robert F. Kennedy's group, Children's
Health Defense, that he chaired for years before becoming the
Secretary of HHS noted, if you dig into the hepatitis

(30:15):
B stuff that they try to give your child when
they're born, you realize it's to inoculate a future population
of drug addicts and prostitutes, not protect your child. That's
the point of it. It's not relevant, not needed, according
to Children's Health Defense, I'm certainly not going to tell

(30:36):
you what to do with your child. I'm absolutely telling
you that there are things that have not been and
thankfully we have someone at the HELM now that cares
about what's going in our kid's arms bodies. But there's
no chance the COVID shots had in the kid of
mine if I'm a parent with a youngster. But you know,

(31:01):
you do you fifty six minutes past, we've got We've
got the second hour still to come then, J D. Johnson,
Now are three from the Talent Training Group, so stick around.

(31:33):
Yesterday on the program, we discuss some Supreme Court cases
that have been and will be and Hans von Spakowski
was our guest. Good morning, friends, Welcome to the Second Hour.
It's seven oh five Eastern, six oh five Central on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Jose. I'm Preston,
and I wanted to go in into a little more

(31:54):
depth on some cases that are that are going to
be argued this fall and winter. Some with a little
more depth than others. But these are cases that I
think are worthy of you. Just filing away men and
women in sports is huge, and it just it nauseates

(32:15):
me that we are here. Although had the NCAA demonstrated
any measure of courage and taken their skirt off and
put their pants on, they would have ended up in
the same place. They would have ensued and we would
be in the same place because courts out there, there

(32:37):
are too many courts filled with illiberals that somehow view
gender and biological sex in the same terms. They're not.
It's male or female gender whatever, It just doesn't matter.
It doesn't one thinks they are. But the cases there's

(33:04):
a West Virginia case and there's a case called Little
versus He cocks Lindsay Heacocks, a male who identifies as
a female whatever, wanted to compete on the Boise State
University women's team for track and cross country. The governor

(33:25):
Brad Little signed a law banning men from women's sports
back in twenty twenty. Thank you very much. The law
allows women to identify as men to compete with men.
That's stupid, though, it's irrelevant because men can't compete with women.

(33:49):
They can't. But what significant is various courts cited In
Idaho with the dude wanting to compete as a woman,
the Supreme Court accepted the Idaho appeal. In West Virginia,

(34:15):
a trans identifying middle schooler known as bp J in
court documents sued the States Save Women's Sports Act because
he'd been participating in girls cross country and track and
field teams, routinely winning, and so the US Court of

(34:37):
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit said no, no, no, this
young man can compete against women. One particular judge, Steven Age, said,
gender identity, simply put, has nothing to do with sports.
It does not change a person's biology or physical characteristics.

(35:00):
That's common sense. But those are cases that will be argued.
Maybe it will put this to rest. Second case, Colorado's
ban on conversion therapy. What's interesting is the Colorado law
allows therapists to affirm someone who thinks they're they've been

(35:24):
miss mislabeled, forget the biology, they think they're something else,
and it's okay for a counselor to say, yes, that's okay.
You need to affirm the inner you that you want
to come out. The therapists suing said, why can I

(35:45):
affirm one thing and not the other that maybe you
need help? Why can I only say one part of
the equation and not potentially the other. Why am I
prevented when someone's questioning their identity from saying it'll get better.

(36:08):
Very important lawsuit. Third case that ought to be on
your radar the redistricting. Redistricting to favor minorities. What's interesting
about this is this challenge comes from not minorities, well,
not traditional minorities. It's coming from whites. You can't draw

(36:32):
district lines based on race, whether it's congress or city council,
that it doesn't matter what race it is. That's racism,
that's discriminatory. Hans talked about that case ever so briefly,
but there are others. We're gonna get to those next
ten past the hour, some very important Supreme Court cases

(36:55):
that are coming up. I don't call them Australia. On
news radio one in us LA, quick pause here, Donald

(37:21):
Trump sort of floating the idea of Marco Rubio being
potentially a vice presidential candidate with JD. Vance. I don't
like it. I think you go advance. You let Marco
keep doing what he's doing, because he's a brilliant Secretary

(37:43):
of State. You keep him there. If I were on
the nominating committee and saying, JD, here's some people to consider.
Near the top of my list is going to be
win some seers of Virginia. She is Marine corvette. She's

(38:12):
been the lieutenant governor of Virginia since twenty twenty two.
Wants to be governor. She happens to be black. She
is loved by the NRA. She represents a part of
the conservative movement that needs to be recognized. Wouldn't it

(38:36):
be absolutely brilliant if we set somebody up. Granted, she's
sixty one right now, so if you move forward a
little bit, but wouldn't it be ironic if the Republican
Party were the ones to elect the first black female president.

(38:59):
I'm just saying now, you'd be pushing her out a
lot of years, and she'd be significantly older by then,
and so maybe it's not relevant. I don't know some
other cases here that are worth paying attention to. He

(39:19):
mentioned the spending of political parties. Hans did yesterday. I
mentioned the challenge to ballot counting after election day. The
Supreme Court is going to take up a congressman's challenge
to an Illinois law that allows ballots to be counted
even if they're received up to fourteen days after election day.
No way that should be allowed. If you're going to

(39:43):
rely on a mail in ballot, you better recognize the
mail service right, how it operates. You better allow for
enough time, and you better get it in in time
to make sure it's counted. And if it comes late,
oh well it's it doesn't count. Why would a mail

(40:05):
in ballot count if we're not going to allow somebody
to vote the next day. What's the point of a deadline. Well,
I'm sorry I couldn't get here yesterday, but I'm here today. Yeah,
but the election the polls closed yesterday at seven o'clock

(40:26):
in the evening. You had multiple days before that, and
then you had twelve hours on election day. Yeah, but
I I couldn't get here the traffic was and I
needed I needed I needed to get some errands run.
I'm sorry, no, but this is a vitally important case

(40:48):
for future elections. New Jersey is suing a pro life
pregnancy center for its donor list. It wants it pregnancy center. Sorry,
it's it's not for it's not for you to look at.
New Jersey suing saying they're they're engaging in fraud because
they're telling people they're pregnancy center and they're not telling

(41:09):
people to go get an abortion. Well, they don't have to.
People know that an abortion is available. They're giving them
other options. And oh, by the way, what does that
have to do with a donor list. See, they want
the donor list because they want to intimidate, they want
to docs, they want to they want to intimidate people
supporting it. Uh. Street Preacher, this is a guy that

(41:33):
one of these guys that calls people bad names at
at at Christian or at concerts and events. He thinks
that wins people to the body of Christ by calling them,
you know, Jezebels and Whorors and things like that. I
bottom line though, is he's he's he has filed an
appeal and it's going to the Supreme Court, and it

(41:57):
has to do with habeas corpus, and so that's just
that's an interesting case. I don't agree at all with
his method. I don't agree with that method because that
I just don't think that's christ. Like he called the
religious leaders a brute of vipers. But I don't know

(42:21):
that he you know, Jesus stiff neck generation. I mean,
I don't know. I'm not sure you're winning people to
Christ by calling them names in public places like that.
I just don't know that you're winning people over. I
don't know that that represents much good. But whatever. Seventeen
past the hour, those are some cases to look out for.

(43:09):
Oh about that flesh eating bacteria, we said introd just
this morning, wasn't it, Jose, not like the local news.
But you saw you caught a story that they were
showing on fox YEP, yes, sir, tell us, what was it?

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Unfortunately, one of the people that died from that flesh
eating bacteria was a twelve year old boy.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Now in his case, was he in Florida's beaches or
was it someone something else?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
I couldn't tell, but it looks like his family was
at Disney Disney World, so they may have been, you know,
doing the whole Disney beach thing.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, heading where to the coast or what have you.
I'm assuming. Yeah, anyway, it's We talked about it yesterday,
but I left out something, and one of our listeners
sent me this note. On one segment you mentioned the
time for danger was made to September. It hit me

(44:11):
that is basically the same time to not eat raw oysters.
The rule I learned was not to eat them when
water tamps go above seventy degrees, that is when the
bacteria can live in them. The owner of a local
oyster bar confirmed this interesting correlation. Now, what Tim points

(44:32):
out in his note, I omitted which was in the
original story, So I kept the story. I circled back.
The bacteria can cause and what we're talking about is
we're talking about Vibrio vnuphicus vulnephicus, and we've got so

(44:54):
far eight dead, thirty two sick in two different states,
Louisiana and Florida. The bacteria can cause an illness when
exposed to an open wound in coastal waters, or when
a person eats undercooked or raw seafood, namely oysters. I

(45:19):
it was right here, And what's crazy is I had
it circled. I just didn't get to it. So Tim,
thank you, because that's important. Look, I'm not trying to
rain on anybody's parade here. When it comes to the

(45:40):
things you eat and what you enjoy, you do you
And I'm not advocating living in fear, all right, but
I do think there's a realm of common sense that
should apply. And I just look, and I'm not saying

(46:01):
don't go in the water. You know, I don't mind
getting in in the ocean, doesn't bother me. But I'm
not going to get in if I have an open wound.
I'm just not going to do it, certainly not in
the months that we're talking about it. Just why run

(46:21):
that risk when by the time you know you're not right,
it might be too late. There are just there are
ways to protect yourself and prevent the problem. So to me,
it just it's like, look, if I may kind of

(46:47):
tie into our third third hour segment here on personal defense,
I choose to carry concealed. When I first started doing
it twenty plus years ago, I was very aware that
I'm carrying concealed. I was very aware of how I

(47:08):
situated myself in a restaurant or whatever, how I entered
a parking lot. Now it's just common it's common sense.
It's how I operate my life. I'm just aware. I'm
aware of my surroundings. I'm aware of the people that
are near me. I make eye contact with people. It's
just part of it. It's not at all anything weird

(47:31):
or out of routine. It's very normal. I think this
type of awareness can be a little weird. For example,
Tim made the decision, Yeah, I don't eat raw oysters
this time of year, Hey to elsewhere other times a year,
or I make sure they're cooked done. There you go.

(47:52):
It's not a weird thing. It's just makes sense to me.
So I've now done what I think is my duty
because I don't think I did it properly yesterday, because
I did not mention the raw food aspects, seafood aspect,
namely oysters, which are popular. I get it. Some people
like sliding a booker down their throat. Whatever, that's cool,

(48:13):
that's you fine. Twenty.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
That's all he can do. Hit the music, get him done,
Get it out. Listening to the M A D Radio Network,
where you're challenged to make a difference each and every day.
Good morning and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Thirty six passed the hour real quickly, Big stories of
the press Box. Potential second Alligator Alcatraz, only won't be
so much an Alligator Alcatraz. It'll be a dark Florida something.
So one of our listeners came up with a pretty

(49:17):
funny suggestion, let me let me find it here. He
suggested we open one and will call it and call
it the San Nat Sing Sing. Maybe let's maybe we
can come up with a name, the name the facility contest,

(49:40):
What would what? What should we name it? Maybe I'll
maybe I'll post that on on on X. It's Camp
Blanding in the direction of Jacksonville at Stark, Florida, Big Place,
seventeen thousand acres. No, that's the one in Dade. Sorry,

(50:07):
This one, though, is the facility used for the Florida Guard.
Florida National Guard guy arrested speaking of Florida with a
loaded AR fifteen and knives outside of Palm Beach Airport.
He was in a restricted area at Palm Beach County Airport.
I haven't seen an update yet. It could be out there.

(50:28):
I just haven't found one. Michael Rodriguez forty one, no
known address. He had a rental vehicle and what's he doing.
Personnel at the airport said, yeah, sketchy. Law enforcement approached him.
He was changing. Okay, it's getting dressed. But that's the

(50:52):
airport where Donald Trump frequently uses. Is that what that
was about. I'm just asking. I don't know. Illegal Chinese
immigrant and an accomplice caught smuggling US microchips to China.
Two Chinese nationals arrested illegally shipping to China sensitive microchips

(51:13):
used in AI applications that from the Department of Justice.
They used their El Monte, California based company Alex Solutions
to knowingly ship sensitive tech GPUs and other high end
computer parts used exclusively for AI based technology to China

(51:33):
without the required license from the US Department of Commerce.
It is considered the most powerful GPU chip on the market,
and now it's in the Chinese hands. I want you
to think about this. This allegedly was going on from
October twenty two to they finally shut it down in July.

(51:57):
Who was in office in July of twenty twenty two?
Oh yeah, Joe Biden. And I'm sorry. Did Joe have
connections to China? Was he connected to China with his
family wealth? Yes? He was. His son Hunter was sitting
on a board with a Chinese company and a profession
he had no knowledge of, unless they were dealing with
prostitutes and drugs. I don't know. Fourth story, Massachusetts Police Training.

(52:26):
The Massachusetts Municipal Training Committee for Police added Moms for
Liberty on their hate group list. They listed them along
with Clantifa. Yeah, a lot of comparisons to be drawn there, huh.
Forty minutes past the hour, back with more of the

(52:49):
Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm gonna ask Casey to
jump in here. If I were to ask you to
define a devoted family man, what would you say?

Speaker 3 (53:15):
Well, I would say a devoted family man is a
is a good father, a good husband, and will do
anything for his family.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Does the word devoted, Carrie a special significance or meaning?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Yes, devoted is a consistency in faithfulness?

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Yes, faithfulness?

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Yeah? Right, Okay, I'm asking because there appears to be
a new definition in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Now, I have
not asked my brother about this. My brother Patrick is
a deputy with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. After having

(53:54):
worked with Saint Paul Police and retired, and he just
kept the itch. He just wanted to stay involved in
and help and use his knowledge and expertise, and and
so the Sheriff of Ramsey County said, hey, you want
to want to work in a special kind of unit here.
And now Patrick is one of a few that are
routinely on YouTube live. You can actually follow my brother

(54:20):
on YouTube live, Deputy pat Scott. It's it's a YouTube
channel called on Patrol Live and they go live a
few times a week. Usually it's later in the week
and for about an hour or so, and it's just
sometimes he's just chatting it up. Sometimes he's with somebody else.
Sometimes they're just cruising the streets. Sometimes they're responding to calls.

(54:43):
It's all different. But I wonder what Patrick would think
of the definition that is being created in Saint Paul.
Because the definition of devoted family man that's quote now
was applied to Qualinel Ibrahim Diary. He was arrested, and

(55:13):
a letter written to a judge seeking a lighter sentence
for his crime stated he was a devoted family man,
and that's possible, right, You know, people make mistakes. Don't
know the nature of the crime at this point in
the story, claiming that starting over in a new culture
was one of the challenges that he faced in being

(55:35):
in the United States. He's a Somali. You want to
know what he did? Of course you do. Young girl
was playing in her backyard when he abducted and sexually
assaulted her. He raped her in the backseat of his car.

(55:58):
Devoted family man, according to the Saint Paul Moski attends.
Here's how it all happened. According to the Minneapolis Tribune
the Minnesota Star Tribune, her brother was eighteen at the time,
saw calls from uh Dirie on his sister's phone that
she was not answering. She told her brother they were
from her rapist. Diary called again. Her brother answered but

(56:21):
did not speak Diras said when can I see you again?
The brother hung up started texting Diary through Snapchat, pretending
to be his sister. Diary made a reference to seeing
the girls in bringing condoms diary. Soon arrived and saw
the brother and the girl's stepfather in the living room.

(56:44):
He tried to flee, but the brother blocked his path.
Called nine to one one police arrived and arrested him.
That's how he was caught. They did their own sting.
The judge gave him the lightest sentence possible because he's
a devoted family man facing the pressures of being in
a new world, a new land. Matt Walsh wade in

(57:08):
on the story. He wrote, if this is a culture
that doesn't understand that it's wrong to abduct and rape
a child, nobody from that culture should be allowed into
this country ever, under any circumstance. He snatched a twelve
year old girl from the backyard from her yard and

(57:29):
raped her in his car and then called to say, hey,
how we got her number? Any of that no idea,
probably frightened her, but yeah, forty six minutes past the hour.

(57:50):
Love those devoted family guys.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
Huh ride him at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right,
got J. D. Johnson Talent training group coming up in
a little bit tomorrow. On the show, never too early
to tease a program. We've got Steve Stewart, of course

(58:19):
from Tallash Reports, doctor Steve Stevenson, Bradfordville Animal Hospital. There
is an alert that's been sent out for the region
that deals with rabies. There's a Rabi's warning out there
and you need to be aware of it. We'll talk
about that, how to protect your pets, how to notice

(58:39):
the signs of and so forth. And in the third
hour our annual State of the Knowles visit with Director
of Athletics for Florida State University Michael Alford will be
joining me in studio for the hour in the third hour,
so we will talk all things Florida State renovations, fundraising,

(59:01):
you know, the whole nine yards, the programs that changes
with the coaching in certain areas. So all that tomorrow
on the show. What a perfect lead into the third
hour of the show.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
If you read something insane, I probably did it.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
He probably did it.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
I'm foud of whod the block is. Go ahead and
google my name.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
I dare you now? There is so many to the
sins I have committed. Come on, everybody, and we all
feel better when we have somebody to blame. Hen all right,
here we go. This is in We are making this

(59:49):
man an honorary Florida man because he's actually from Beaconsfield, England.
Mark gribbon gibbon from Bickonsfield, England was vacationing in Florida
with his family. So he was vacationing, but he was here.

(01:00:19):
He was arguing with his thirty three year old daughter
in law in the swimming pool of their rental home. Now,
what do most people do when you're having a disagreement
with an in law. You try to find well, let's
put it this way. A normal person would try to
find a conciliatory way to end the discussion, to change

(01:00:41):
the topic, to have a laugh and to move on. Right.
Ah no, no, not our honorary Florida man. Our honorary
Florida man. Did what Florida men do. He attempted to
drown and kill his daughter in law repeatedly, and so

(01:01:03):
her nine year old daughter jumps in the pool recognizing
what's going on. He would not stop. So two sisters
in the home next door were in their pool. They're
vacationing in a rental next door. They came rushing over
and stopped the assault. Police were called. And this is

(01:01:27):
where just Fate smiles on the entire story. The lady's fine.
That's why this is a Florida man story. Had anyone
really been hurt, I wouldn't be doing this. It would
be just a story story, not Florida Man. But see
this is where it transitions into that just that wonderful space,
because he happened to be doing this in Polk County

(01:01:49):
where Sheriff Grady Judd is in charge. And Grady and
just his perfect, perfect style, said, you know, we love tourists,
but this man may be spending a little bit more
time in Florida than he had anticipated you think. So

(01:02:16):
he's been charged with second degree attempted, second degree murdered,
two counts of battery. So my brother from Beaconsfield, England,
he'll be a resident of the state of Florida's custody
for a bit longer than he thought. Third hour Personal
defense up next. If I passed the hour eight in

(01:02:51):
the Eastern time zone, seven in the Central No matter
where you are listening to us, no matter how you
are listening to us, whether it is terrestrial radio or
heart radio, thank you, We appreciate you sharing time with us.
We really do. We value that and we want to
put it to use. And so we are joined by J. D. Johnson,
co founder Talent Training Group, co host Talent Outdoors, any

(01:03:16):
other talent things that we're branding here. Do you have
you heard the story when my wife and I went
up through I want to say it was Kentucky where
we ran across signs for the Talent Winery and I
looked at her, I said, Charlie and Jady, you're getting ambitious.

Speaker 6 (01:03:34):
Alone?

Speaker 5 (01:03:34):
Is this scupping on one? And you know what I mean,
I know a little bit about that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Oh and talent adventures or what is it that you
guys are doing your trips? Yeah, I guess yeah. Anyway,
good to see you. How are you? I'm doing great?

Speaker 6 (01:03:48):
How about you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Good? We are starting in New York City and just
as just fate would have had would have it where
that shooting took place in downtown Manhattan. You were there
a week before.

Speaker 5 (01:03:59):
Yep, sure was walk right by that building, remember looking
at the signs and going, Wow, the building's got a
lot of different big, big entities in it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
When you started to hear the specifics and as you know,
we leave names out, we don't want to give any
credibility or honor to the shooting shooters in these types
of ridiculous crimes. When you recognized that, oh this was
a shooting in Manhattan, I was there, does it bring
a little more context to you? Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
Yeah, yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
What what immediately starts running through your.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
Mind the fact that nobody engaged him walking down the
sidewalk with.

Speaker 6 (01:04:38):
An ar or with a rifle.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Uh, you know, that's just if you've never been there.
I mean, there's everybody walks in those areas because everything
is so compact and closer together, and you you know,
you walk down the street and you look up and
you can't see the top. You know, it's like being
in the Redwood forest during the Sekoya trees. I mean,
it's just but everybody walks. It's uh, there was one

(01:05:03):
day we were up there and we, like my watch
said to twenty five thousand steps that day, you know,
just trying to see things. But and there's law enforcement everywhere,
milling around, walking the street, standing on the corners.

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
So I was.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
I was very shocked that he actually got into the
building with the with a very openly carried rifle. That
was that was the first thing, you know, and there's
a lot of building security up there as far as
having people posted places, you see a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Are security guards allowed to be armed in New York City?

Speaker 6 (01:05:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:41):
I didn't see a lot of private security armed private security.
Saw a lot of private security, like if you go
to any of the we we went to a target
store that was a target that was right down the
street from where we were staying, to grab some drinks
and stuff for the refrigerator in the room. And they
had somebody standing at the door I'm assuming for you know,
for shoplifting, But they weren't armed. But you see a

(01:06:04):
lot of a lot of law enforcement just kind of
hanging around. So I'm assuming that they're not posted there.
They're probably working off duty or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
And obviously we have to make a few assumptions in
talking about this, But but there was an armed security
guard inside. He was an off duty New York City
police officer, right, and he got somehow someone got the
jump on him.

Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
Hey, he was shot in the back too, So you know,
from what I understand that so he may have never
seen he may have never seen the threat period. He
may have been you know, distracted or yeah, just facing
the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Might have been looking at his phone for all we know,
who knows? What do you think are the takeaways from
a story like that as it relates to people listening
right now that own a business, you need to have.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
Some kind of security measures in place, depending on what
your you know, what your business is hard to do
that in a retail setting, but if you're not in
a retail setting, or you're not in a setting where
you get visitors on a regular basis, and even if
you do, you may want to have a buzz in
system or somebody at least somebody there at the front
door that can defend the facility if necessary.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
That conversation needs to be had by every business regardless,
because as we talked about when we discussed this story,
nobody went to work that day in that office building
expecting that to happen.

Speaker 5 (01:07:32):
But you could tell they had had some training the barricading,
some of them, you know, they barricaded the doors very well.
It probably would have been a much higher loss of
life had they not been somewhat prepared.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
Somebody's at least shown them a video.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
And therein is sort of the backhanded way of reinforcing
what we've been saying for years. Absolutely, have a plan.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
Have a plan. Some kind of plans better than no plan.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
So if your business owner, your manager, maybe have a meeting.
May we talk about it among your leadership team, and
if you're an employee, maybe suggest one. Yeah, we got
lots to talk about. Sadly, there are a lot of
stories in the news. We'll see what we can learn
from them. Ten past the Hour j D. Johnson with
me from the Talent Training Group.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
And always pointing out and correcting what is not The
Morning Show with Preston Scott the headline.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
In a Fox News story a few days after the
shooting in New York City, NYC office shooting raises new
corporate security concerns for business leaders, you mentioned that the
calls went up after this attack.

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
Yes, we do.

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
We do security surveys, you know, go out and talk
to businesses, companies, whatever entities. We do a lot of
that and as a company, we do that, and yeah,
we started getting calls.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
No one plan can be applied to all businesses for
the most part, unless you're looking at a chain where
they design the buildings the exact same way type thing.
But I've got to believe JD. There are common components
to those plans. Sure, what generally is when you do
a you're looking at a place and then you're sitting
down and you're coming up with what you think your

(01:09:26):
recommendations are going to be. Are there some common themes
in those recommendations.

Speaker 6 (01:09:32):
Yeah, you you know.

Speaker 5 (01:09:33):
The first one is the actual physical barricade security of
the building. You know, no easy access doors that nobody's watching.
The last thing you want is for somebody to get
in that you don't even know they're in the building
to do something bad. So you would be surprised that.
I mean, there's people that have, Uh it's something as

(01:09:55):
simple as let's say you got magnetic door locks, kind
of like you guys here have here at the studio.
You got doors that will secure without physically turning a
dead bolt. Order doors just some of them are just
physical maintenance problems. The door doesn't close all the way,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Fix it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
Fix the door is not you know, get the door fix.

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
You run a multi million dollar facilities sometimes and the
door doesn't close all the way. You know, that's a
simple fix. Put a new hydraulic door closer on it.
You know, like you got here on your door there
that that hydraulic system that pulls the door shut, you know,
fix it, readjust it whatever it needs to be.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
How many times do you see something where it's simply
people becoming comfortable and leaving a door unlike because it's
just easier for everybody to come in and out. Exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:10:45):
It's it's I hate to say it is. Sometimes it's
just laziness. It's just it's it's you know. And like
I said about New York, there there's such a gun
unfriendly city area. Nobody expects anybody to have guns there,
and especially in no guns because because the law, there's
a law on the book says no gun. So everybody's

(01:11:06):
gonna abide by that right, which is the most ludicrous
attitude you could possibly have. So I'm sure that they
there's probably a great deal of you know, just complacency
people there is. They don't expect people to have a
gun like we do here. You know, it's it's it's

(01:11:27):
common to carry a gun here, for people to carry guns.
There's a whole lot of people that carry guns concealed
here up there. That's not their culture.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
You said something that I think is worth repeating. And
that is think like a bad guy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Yeah, that's that's kind of what we have to do
when we when we go and look at facilities, or
we get asked to come to a security survey or
training or whatever else is.

Speaker 6 (01:11:49):
We have to go and think like a bad guy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
You know, what would be the my most as a
bad guy, What would be my highest probability of success
to carry out whatever heinous act that I'm trying to do?
You know, you have to put yourself in that place
and then and then go about mentally, at least exercising
what would I do.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
I know that this is a topic that everybody's going
to handle this differently and even react to my mentioning
it an estranged husband, and I'm going to just be
sexist here for a second, because oftentimes the perpetrators are males.
Absolutely in a broken relationship, you're not going to be
with anybody else type thing, or in a strange boyfriend.
These are the types of things you kind of need

(01:12:34):
to make your supervisors aware of for the safety of
everybody in there. Hey, you're used to seeing Bruce come
to the office all the time. He's not welcome here anymore.
Make somebody aware of it absolutely.

Speaker 6 (01:12:44):
I mean that is that is probably the number.

Speaker 5 (01:12:47):
One attributor to this kind of this kind of behavior,
you know, a broken relationship, relationship, you know, just domestic
domestic issues, or somebody that you made really mad that doesn't.

Speaker 6 (01:13:02):
You know, you you may.

Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
Aggravate somebody to the point where it flips a switch
somewhere and there. I'm gonna go down there and kill
everybody in that building because they wouldn't do this for me.

Speaker 6 (01:13:14):
Right, whatever that is.

Speaker 5 (01:13:16):
But you have to you can't think rationally about You
can't put yourself in as a rational person. How would
I handle this offense to me? You got to think
as somebody that's off there, you know they're.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Yeah, rational people have trouble thinking irrationally and they and
people that are irrational kind of count on that. Yep. Absolutely,
We've got a lot more stories in the news and
we're going to talk about them.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
J D.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Johnson with me from the Talent Training Group. Remember Talent
training all right, that's where you can get some classes.
You can learn how to better prepare for what may
come your way, protect yourself, your family. Go to talentrange
dot com. Back with JD. Johnson of the Talent training group.

(01:14:05):
Normally we end these segments with a training tip, but
there's just so many stories I don't know that we'll
get to one. So I'll simply say call JD. Charlie
at Talent and set up and go to a class.
How about that? Does that work? Yeah? Learn a bunch
of stuff. Yeah, I was sharing with you. This story

(01:14:25):
was confounding to me. Guy named Lee Ogler, young Man,
thirty nine, Danville, Virginia, Danville City council member. It's really irrelevant.
A guy who had a grudge with him showed up
at his office where he worked with a five gallon
bucket of gasoline, poured it on him, let him on fire.
How do you stop that?

Speaker 6 (01:14:46):
Not let him?

Speaker 5 (01:14:47):
Not let the guy get that close to you with
a bucket of anything, because.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
And you know why I'm asking this. Is it that simple?

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:14:58):
So, here's the issue with a flammable is that you've
if you had a gun and all of a sudden
you covered in gas and now you you pull your
trusty blaster out and set it off, You're probably gonna
be the one ignite in the gas.

Speaker 6 (01:15:11):
But yeah, if you see somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:15:13):
That's that has told you or there's a history, there's
a history there, there was a history there in this case, Yes,
I'm not gonna let that guy get close to me
with much of anything in his hand that I don't
know exactly if I don't know, unless it's a twinkie,
you know something that I know exactly what it is.
So there's other things other than flammables that you can

(01:15:34):
There's other liquids that could have been acid. It could
have been a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
We've seen attacks like that in various parts of the
world the world.

Speaker 6 (01:15:41):
It's happened here before. The throwing gas on somebody has happened,
happened here, happened in this country.

Speaker 5 (01:15:47):
You just don't ever know what what a road, what
what crooked road? The crazy guy's brain's going to go down.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
In a way. This again reinforces our constant theme of
situationational awareness and that you just have to think differently.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
Absolutely you do.

Speaker 5 (01:16:08):
And it's it's like I said, I don't know. If
that guy's mad at me and he walks in with
a with a bucket in his hand, if he ain't
drinking out of it, then you're not fixing to get
close to me.

Speaker 6 (01:16:17):
If I know you and I have an issue.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
So, like I said, I think I could articulate at
least the presentation of a of a firearm or a
weapon or you know, if not, if not the deadly force,
I could articulate that with the unknown of what's in there.
But there could be something bad. That's just like somebody
pointing a gun actually or a BB gun. You don't

(01:16:41):
know if it's loaded or if it's a deadly weapon
or whatever, but it looks like it could be sure,
So yeah, I think you can easily articulate that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
I think it's it's it's also useful to remember that
these things are never appointments.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
No, No, They happen when we're least least expecting it.
And that's that's part of the you know, that's part
of living in a state of awareness. When you're out
in public and not locked behind your door with the
alarm on, that's a that's a that's a being in public.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
And I suppose a reminder that would be useful would
be taking inventory of your life. If you've got someone
that you know is an enemy, you need to be
mindful of that person and your.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
Surroundings absolutely, And and there's you know, I don't. I
don't know that I have any, and I hope I
never have. I hope I never do have any. Sure,
you you know you you live in the public public
eye me too to an extent, So you know you
you don't ever know who you really offended until sometimes
it's too late, right, Uh So you live in that

(01:17:44):
state of awareness where you're always paying attention to anybody
make an eye contact with your approaching you in public
or whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:17:50):
You need to be attentive to that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
When we come back, a story at a Walmart parking
lot in Michigan where, like they say, a good guy
with a gun stopped a bad guy with a knife
that was doing a lot of bad things. We're gonna
talk about that scenario next with JD. Johnson of the
Talent Training Group. Remember talentrange dot com. This is the

(01:18:18):
Morning Show with Preston Scott and Rebecca. I have to
do it once. I can't help myself. JD. Johnson of
the Talent Training Group with us this morning our personal
defense segment for the month of August. Can you believe it?

Speaker 6 (01:18:40):
Time flies when you having fun?

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Oh my goodness, gracious, finally a more well, at least
there wass a hero, Yes, one of us. Yeah, right,
guys stabbing a bunch of people late twenties to senior adults,
and he stopped by a marine. I always get in

(01:19:03):
trouble when I say former marine because marines will write
me and say.

Speaker 6 (01:19:06):
You're retired or you're not active duty marine.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Right, I don't know what to say.

Speaker 5 (01:19:14):
I'm sorry he didn't have the haircut, he's a not
active duty marine.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
Boy, But did he have everything else?

Speaker 6 (01:19:20):
Yes, sir, that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Let's talk about the prevalence and the growing use of
a knife.

Speaker 6 (01:19:29):
You know, it hadn't just started we're but it is growing.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
I mean, quite honestly, it's now the thing to use
in England because it has been. Yeah, that's the weapon
of choice now. But it is becoming more prevalent and
the dangers associated with it. I mean, we saw that
kid in a track meet stab a fellow competitor in
the chest and kill him.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
For much easier to conceal. It's much easier to conceal
a knife than it is a firearm. They're smaller, they're
not Some people don't look at them as a weapon period,
which they.

Speaker 6 (01:20:02):
Very much are.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
Absolutely, you know, in a phone booth.

Speaker 5 (01:20:05):
I'd probably rather have a knife than a gun if
I'm tied up in a phone booth with somebody, if
I had to defend myself because it doesn't run out
of bullets and it doesn't jam, and it is always
going to work. If I had to defend myself with
a knife, that's a real personal thing when you use
But crazy people don't think the way we do. You know,
it's so and you don't ever know what's going through

(01:20:27):
that guy's head. But yeah, you're not unarmed if you
have a knife and you're willing to use it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Distance is your friend if dealing with somebody with a knife.

Speaker 5 (01:20:38):
Absolutely, absolutely, But you also have to understand that there
are some distances that can be just because of reaction time.
You know, you're talking about twenty feet. If they're within
twenty feet of you and you're let's just say you're
carrying a firearm concealed and your adversary is armed with

(01:20:58):
a knife and they're less than twenty feet away, there's
a good probability you're gonna get cut before you can
get your gun out and engage him.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Yeah, talk about that distance closing thing.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):
Yeah, so this reactionary gap is what I'm talking about.
It's gonna take you, probably from a concealed carry in
a holster you're looking at if you're really fast, a
second and a half to recognize the threat, engage, draw
your weapon, come up, get the weapon into a functional position.

(01:21:32):
It's gonna take you a second and a half two
seconds to make that happen because it's gonna take you
three quarters of a second to recognize the threat, and
people don't account for that. So before you can draw
and shoot, somebody can very easily close a twenty foot gap.
You're talking for most people, four steps, you know, before

(01:21:54):
you're within arms reach of somebody, So you can close
that reactionary gap if you haven't trained to or haven't
prepared mentally to change direction or get off the tracks
as we call it. You know, a step to the left,
or a couple of steps to the left, moving to
the left, moving to the right, retreating, moving backwards when
somebody's aggressing you. So and that's there's a drill out there.

(01:22:19):
I didn't know the name to it. It's called the
tool or drill where you practice moving and drawing.

Speaker 6 (01:22:25):
But a lot of people don't practice that way.

Speaker 5 (01:22:27):
You know, they stand in one place on a square
range and set. Yeah, just have a great stance. And
you've heard me say on this show, I'm pretty sure
if your stance is really good, your tactics are terrible.

Speaker 6 (01:22:39):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
You know, if you're if you've got a great shooting stance,
your tactics are horrible. Because in real life, time doesn't
freeze and nothing stands. It's not it's not it's never
a static situation. Right, So, like I said, somebody with
a knife can do you a whole bunch of damage
and a really short amount of time.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Guy stabbed eleven people before he was stopped, and there
was somebody there actually trying to get in the way
of the guy with the knife and the man trying
to stop. It all unbelievable the video.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
Because you've got a pre you've got to prejudice against
the guy with the gun there. You're you're assuming that
he's the bad guy because he has a gun. And
that's that's a that's a television and leftist behavior and
the only bad guys have guns. Things that we get
pounded into our head every day on the media.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
With the media, the growing thread of knives just simply
tells me, once again, be aware of your surroundings because
you just don't know who have exactly right. When we
come back, I'm gonna put JD in the woods figuratively
but with a literal story next forty one minutes after

(01:24:04):
the hour. You know, there was a time that I
enjoyed the idea of going camping, and I will admit
on the front end, I don't I don't have enough
faith in the people that are around me and put
myself in a tent and not have my perimeter secured,
if that makes any sense at all. Sure, And and

(01:24:26):
so the story of the couple in Arkansas, we now
know that the Brinks, Clinton and Kristen were protecting their
daughters potentially from some encounter with the guy who would
be their murderer. But I want to back up and
just talk about security for yourself and your family when

(01:24:46):
you're out camping or just in this case, yes they
were camping, but this was just walking a trail. Yeah, terrible.

Speaker 5 (01:24:55):
Well, there's a reason that in Florida, even where we
we're not an open carry state, there is a there
is a statute statute on the books in Florida that
if you were hunting, camping, fishing, hiking out in the woods,
you can openly carry. You don't have to carry concealed.
You can openly carry in those situations because you're not

(01:25:16):
just worried about and this crazy guy being on the
trail with you is just one of many dangers you
can that there are in Florida. You've got you know,
you've got bears and you've got you've got Florida black bears.
They will eat you. Yes, they're they're not cuddly lovable.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
Well, we've had a fatality in the last month.

Speaker 6 (01:25:35):
They will eat you.

Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
You've got alligators, You've got you've got snakes, You've got
poisonous snakes, and a lot of these things. A lot
of these animals you can avoid, but you never know.
There could be something wrong with and whatever. There's all
kinds of situations that you may have to defend yourself
in the woods because you've got mother nature. But it's
out to do what mother nature does. It's that loner
that's got a living in the woods because he can't
live around people. And then now all of a sudden

(01:25:57):
you have entered his domain. And you know, I.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Mean, it's just.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
How do you go away Preston, you know, how do.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
You enjoy or we can't even go there. There's just
I'm even saying it. You can't and you can't do that.
What is the prudent thing to do? If you're out camping,
whether you are a fit male and you got your
act together, you're with your wife, you're with your wife
and your children, what in your mind is like bare minimum?

Speaker 5 (01:26:28):
So I never go into the woods without a without
a knife or in a gun. I don't personally usually
when I'm in the woods and you're carrying oh yeah,
and it will usually I spend more time in the
woods during hunting seasons. I'm there for a reason and
sure so, but yeah, I'm gonna have some kind of weapon.
I'm you know, if I'm camping, I'm gonna have a hatchet.

(01:26:52):
I'm gonna have a hatchet close by, because you use
that kind of stuff catching and you're camping, I always
forget the tent pegs or whatever. You know, I might
need to cut a cut a limb or make make
make your own right whatever. So you know, those are
the kind of things that you carry when you're camping.
Bear spray, the big cans of oc oliah resin cap sation.

(01:27:13):
Bear spray is not a bad idea if you.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
Are out and you've decided you're going to carry for
the purposes of just personal protection for whether it's people
or animals. And are you carrying a revolver? Are you
carrying semi automatic?

Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
Depends on where I'm at, but a semi automatic most
of the time, I have a I have a I
carry a glock ten millimeter, which is a little bit bigger,
more powerful than I would carry every day, but that's
that's what I usually carry it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
And you're carrying outside the waistband with that thing.

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
No, I'm carrying it on a chest trig. Okay, I
have a I have a chest trig that the gun
is basically planted right up here at the top of
my chest, so my waistband is free. And if I'm
going through the bushes or woods or whatever, I'm not
have something.

Speaker 6 (01:27:54):
Pulling on my holster.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
Gotcha.

Speaker 5 (01:27:57):
People that hunt in sure enough bear country up north,
you know, you go out fishing and fly fishing in Montana,
you won't find one of those guys up there that's
not armed with a fairly large caliber firearm. Probably carried
in some manner where they can get to it, fly
fishing because of grizzly bear attack or black beer attack.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
Whatever. Is this a wise way to think about it.
I will not live my life assuming everybody's my enemy.
But I'm not going to live my life assuming everyone's
going to be my friend.

Speaker 6 (01:28:25):
That's very safe to say, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
I'm I don't assume anybody's my enemy until they behave
that way, you know, I don't. I like to say
everybody I meets a friend, but you know that's that's
not realistic, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
But that's one of those things. Again, be aware of
your surroundings. Even in the wilderness. You've got to be
there as well, and trust your discernment. If you see
somebody that just sends the wrong signals, wrong vibes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:52):
Yeah, try to get away from them to don't, you know,
get away from them as quickly as possible if you can.
I'm not saying you turn around and run, scream and
yeah yeah, but uh but yeah, just get away from them,
uh you know, and that they and that they're following
pursue you at that point, then you know, then you
know for sure, you know, running from a predator will

(01:29:16):
almost always trigger a predatory response, which.

Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
Is to chase.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
I hope next time we visit we don't have to
talk about a bunch of stories like this. And yeah,
good to see you. Thank you. JD. Johnson with me
from the Talent Training Group. Forty seven minutes past the hour. Remember,
get your training, do some shooting, do practical things you
know that might save your life at talentrange dot com.

(01:29:48):
Where does the time go? My thanks to JD. Johnson,
Talent Training Group. Remember talent outdoors on the weekend Saturday,
on these radio stations that you're listening to, whether it's
WFLA in Tallahassee or WFLA Panama City, you can enjoy
talent outdoors. The Vancouver's Sun is reporting the Central o'cannagan

(01:30:14):
Search and Rescue Crew were training in the Boulder Fields
region of British Columbia. So they're doing a training mission,
got it out in the wilderness when campers flagged them
down and they said they heard screaming in the woods
and they thought someone was in distress. Immediately, the search

(01:30:40):
and rescue team flipped the switch. They went from training
to full rescue mode, mobilizing a drone team and two
Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers. As they searched the area,
they started to hear the screaming. Could you imagine. Just

(01:31:02):
as they were ready to mobilize more teams to find
to sort of locate the source and who was in distress,
one of the mounties said, wait a minute, that's Nickelback.

(01:31:23):
Apparently the camper was singing as loud as he possibly could.
Nickelback songs blissfully unaware that his acoustics were the acoustical
sounds of his singing were being picked up by the

(01:31:44):
boulder fields and turned what he thought was a personal
concert into a distress signal. Search manager said he wasn't
in trouble unless you count his singing. Brought to you
by Barono Heating in Air. It's the morning show on
WFLA confession. I had to go listen to Nickelback on

(01:32:08):
YouTube to know what Nickelback sounded like, because I have
no idea box checked, I now know why that sounded
like a distressed signal being screamed. Now, their music has
a nice beat to it, but that's about all I

(01:32:29):
like on it. But you know there's an article here
by not the Bee. The guy wrote it set up. Personally,
I think the guy was trying to scare off bears.
Everyone knows bears. Eight nickelback uh good ground covered with J. D.
Johnson about the stories of the news. A lot to
talk about. There, big stories in the press box. Illegal

(01:32:52):
Chinese immigrant and accomplice caught smuggling microchips from the United
States to China. That's a known man arrested with a
fully loaded AR fifteen and knives outside of Palm Beach
Airport frequented by the president. Second alligator Alcatraz being ready
for North Florida near Jacksonville camp landing near Stark, Massachusetts.

(01:33:15):
Police training materials classifying Moms for Liberty as a hate group.
We learned a Somali child rapist is actually a devoted
family man who deserves a light sentence accorded to a
judge looked at nine cases. The Supreme Court is going
to be considering this fall and winter. And an addendum
to the flesh eating bacteria, you might think about those

(01:33:38):
raw oysters for a while, just saying we're going to
be back tomorrow. Can't wait
