Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Oh, good morning friends. Wednesday, September Third Morning Show with
Preston Scott Show five four four four. He's Jose, I
need my sunglasses on. The man has polished his head,
he has shaved it off. He's just got the big

(00:36):
beard going now with the mustache, a little soul patch
in the middle there, and the hair is gone. He
decided to just and now you don't polish that. There
are people that do put like a polish on their head.
You have a perfectly formed head. Oh well, thank you sir.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, it comes naturally shiny like that.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Some people have a perfectly formed head. The rest of
us have hair. I just I don't. I got a
lumpy head. I've had so many little surgeries on my brain,
not on my brain, but on my scalp. But at
any rate, welcome friends to the program. We'll tell you
about the show a little bit later on. But let's

(01:19):
begin as we as we like to do. Dip into
God's word a little bit, and this is all red
letter stuff. Crowder sings a song about the red letters.
You know, I've always wrestled with where to point people

(01:43):
too in scripture when they become a new Christian. You know,
a lot of people say, you know, you start with
the Gospels. Some people say no, no, no, no, you start with
with Romans. Everybody has a different idea on that. It's

(02:04):
hard to beat the red letters. Jesus says, this, ask
and it will be given to you. Seek and you
will find. Knock and it will be open to you.
Here's the thing like earlier. That's Matthew chapter seven, verse seven.

(02:30):
At the very beginning of Matthew seven, it says these
words judge, not that you be not judged. Boy, have
we seen that twisted in the last decade to excuse
everything and anything under the sun. Ah, don't you judge?

(02:59):
Jesus is not talking about looking at someone's life and saying,
come on, now, that's wrong, you need to do better.
He's talking about it's not your place to determine anyone's eternity,
because we are commanded throughout God's word to hold each

(03:22):
other accountable. So that scripture gets grabbed hold of and
used by people that have no interest in being obedient
to God. They want God's word to justify aberrant, sinful choices.

(03:43):
So they go, ah, you can't say anything to me. Well,
in fact, I can, and I should I'm commanded to
in the same way. When you get up to verse seven.
And this is all Jesus just laying it out when
he says, asking, it will be given to you. Seek

(04:03):
and you will find knocking it will be open to you.
There are pastors of churches, there are denominational ideals that
have taken that verse and saying it have turned it
into the gospel of name it and claim it. God
wants you to be rich and wealthy and own lots

(04:25):
of cars.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
And.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, is that really what that's about. See it says, ask, ask,
and it will be given. And that's the danger of
just looking at an individual scripture, not broadening the context
of it and look at what God's word teaches entirely,

(04:53):
and what this word says is true if you're praying
it through the will of God God, what's God's will
for your life? Are you? Are you connected to what
God has for you? Are you seeking God's will or
your own?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
See?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Those are little things that matter. So when you pray
prayers like that, always pray through the Lord's prayer. Example,
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will, Your will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. So that prayer is
through the idea of God's will. Ten past the hour,
It's Morning Show with Preston's God. Inside the American Patriots

(05:47):
Almanac or September the third, seventeen seventy seven, The Stars
and Stripes reportedly flown in battle for the first time
at Cooch's Bridge, Delaware. Seventeen eighty three. The Treaty Paris
officially ends the Revolutionary War. Nineteen fifty four, the last
of twenty nine hundred and fifty six radio episodes of
The Lone Ranger is broadcast. Man Old radio broadcasts are

(06:12):
so cool. If you ever get a chance to listen
to some, they are just so cool to listen to.
Theater of the Mind is brilliant sound effects, and you know,
it's just it's wonderful stuff. Nineteen seventy six, Viking two
spacecraft lands on Mars to take photos of the planet's surface.

(06:35):
You know what they found. Waldo. Waldo was there. Waldo
was on Mars. That's where Waldo was. We've been asking
where's Waldo. Waldo was on Mars. What else do we
have here? This is fascinating to me. Today's US Bowling

(06:56):
League day. That's not what's fascinating. Any good.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Funny enough, I was bowling with my right hand for
a little tournament game some means friends ad and I
was losing bad.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
At the end.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
They said use your left hand, and man, I was
crushing it. So I'm a left handed bowler. Bowler really yep,
look at you. Whould have thought, yeah, I throw it backwards.
I don't mean literally backwards. I mean you're supposed to
throw it with a side spin. Like if you're left handed,
you're supposed to throw it with a spin that is clockwise,
and if you're right handed, you're supposed to throw it

(07:34):
with a spin that is counterclockwise. I'm a left I'm
a natural left hander, though I'm a little ambidextrous. I
could do certain things with either. And I play golf
right handed. But because I play golf right handed and
your wrist roll counterclockwise when I bowl, my wrist rolls
counterclockwise from playing golf since I was five years old,

(07:57):
and so I do a reverse spin. It's just it's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy. But here's what I thought was fascinating
today is National Welsh rarebit Day.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Now. I looked at that and I was like, don't
you mean rabbit Nope, nope, there is no rabbit in
the meal. It is tongue in cheek in the way
the Welsh language says the word rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. It's

(08:37):
rare bit, sort of like turtle. Soup doesn't have turtle.
Welsh rarebit does not contain rabbit. This sounds really pretty good.
You ever heard of it? Do you know what it is?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, of vaguely, I can't remember exactly, but I have
heard of it.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
It is toast with high cheese poured over it, simply put.
But in the eighteenth century it was served as a supper.
Taverns would serve it with ale. And while fondu might
come to mind, Welsh rarebit commonly uses wheatbread and cheddar cheese.

(09:20):
A typical European fondu would start with Swiss cheese. There
are variations. Some recipes calls for a little cayenne, pepper, mustard, worcestershire,
or paprika. See now we're starting to get into some
okay flavorings. Here top the cheese with a poached egg,

(09:40):
and then it's called a golden buck. Add bacon, and
some call it a Yorkshire buck. And so there you go.
If you want to observe it, you serve up a
little Welsh rarebit some toast with some cheese sauce. You

(10:02):
could top it with an egg, bacon or both. Add
a little spice. I'm thinking, yeah to the little little
little little cayenne on there, little Worcestershire sauce. Oh yeah,
now we're talking. They'll dab a paprika for some color.

(10:24):
Come on anyway, So there you go. Have I made
you hungry for breakfast? Sixteen minutes past the hour, got
a did you know? And more? Next? Did you know? Garbology?

(10:51):
Garbology is a study of garbage and sanitation developed by
doctor William Rath at the University of Arizona in nineteen
seventy three. It is a multi discipline study that involves archaeology, history,
and sociology. Okay, if you say so. Today's program will

(11:20):
feature personal defense. We will talk about a story or
two in the news, what it teaches, how it informs
us churches, schools, businesses, and the like. And we will
also talk about non lethal personal defense deterrence. Are there

(11:44):
any worth carrying? There are people that don't want to
carry a firearm, and you know what if you don't
want to. You absolutely shouldn't because it will probably end
up being used against you, or you'll just freeze. You

(12:06):
won't you won't have any idea what to do because
you're not going to really embrace it and train with it.
And so one percent, I would say you're a smart
person for coming to the conclusion that you're just you
do not have the internal wiring for it. There's nothing

(12:27):
wrong with that, I wonder though, there are circumstances, for example,
just out in nature. You know, you see videos of
a mountain lion prowling, stalking children people, You see stories.

(12:49):
We cover stories about that. We here's a story here
from Alaska. We were just talking yesterday to Chance Painter
Chance and his wife, Sirea, their three sons live in
I think he said it's a one day walk from
where he lives to civilization. In this case, Arlene Colton,

(13:18):
thirty six, mother of three, went out for an early
morning jog. They're pretty certain a brown bear came upon her.
She was severely mauled. She is going to survive, but
not without extensive surgeries and a very long hospital stay.

(13:42):
Here's the part I underscore. Colton's family said they had
just moved to Alaska this summer, husband, children obviously devastated
at what's happened five point forty five in the morning.

(14:05):
Pretty sure it was a brown bear. And now here's
what's interesting. I've never fully understood the difference between a
grizzly and a brown bear, so I looked it up.
Grizzly bears are a type of brown bear found inland,

(14:25):
distinguished by smaller size, more limited diet, berries, roots, and
typically grizzled fur from silver tipped hairs. Coastal brown bears,
in contrast, have access to a rich salmon diet, which
allows them to grow larger, have darker fur, and leading
to less territorial behavior compared to their inland grizzly cousins.

(14:49):
All grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears
are grizzlies, and so brown bears are generally bigger and heavier,
but not as territorial normally, they think this was a
brown bear. They haven't caught the bear. They will have

(15:11):
to euthanize this bear if they catch it. But I'm
thinking to myself, what would you do? I've seen Have
you seen the videos of people trying to use bear spray.
People are stupid. People see like black bears and they
go here, you want some food. Black bears will kill you.

(15:33):
It's happened in Florida. You know they're cute. Oh my goodness,
it's s teddy bear. No, no, they will eat you.
But I was just what's what what do you use?
You know, I don't know that a that a forty

(15:54):
five would stop a brown bear right away. You'd have
to un the low that thing. But anyway, I digress.
This is just wow. No, No, you don't run out
in the wild. This was just a bad idea. You

(16:17):
go to indoor gym, you go somewhere where there are
no bears. I mean, you're you're triggering the predatory response
to a bear by running by. Anyway. Yeah, twenty seven
past the hour, come back, Big stories in the press box,
and we have a breaking story from overnight about the
Epstein files. Yeah. The House Oversight Committee last night did

(16:53):
a document dump and of the third four thousand files
thirty four thousand files related to the Epstein case, the
infamous one minute of video has been found. There's nothing

(17:16):
in it. No, I mean they have here's my best guess.
My best guess is somebody in the prison, Federal Department Corrections, whatever,
try to explain the shoddy editing by saying, oh, every night,

(17:38):
when the system resets right at midnight, there's a minute missing.
Except that's not true. So what they were able to
do is they were able to take the video and
piece them together. They have timestamps on them, and they're
on the money. The missing minute is found Video one,

(18:01):
Video two the missing minute, which begins eleven fifty eight
fifty nine to midnight, So it's a minute in one second.
It's now seamlessly together, and there's nothing happening in the

(18:21):
cell block. So my hunch is they created more of
a problem for themselves. Do I think Epstein killed himself? Honestly, probably.
He had no interest in having new account for what
he did. He knew what he did, He knew he

(18:42):
abused underage girls, he knew he was in sex trafficking,
and he didn't want to be putting a spot. He
just decided, yeah, I'm done, but that's just me. You know,
you're free to I'm not going to take fall to
anybody thinks that he was killed. He certainly had knowledge

(19:06):
of people that he knew were guests of his and
shall we say indulged. You ever heard of Natalie Rose Jones. Now,
normally I wouldn't use the name, but I'm using it
in this case. Grand jury refused to indict her. This
despite the fact that she posted multiple threats against Donald

(19:28):
Trump on social media. She said she was willing to
sacrificial I'm quoting now, sacrificially kill this potus by disemboweling
him and cutting out his trachea. She also said that
she's in an email to government in corporate contacts, she
said she was available to kill this man, and then
she traveled to the District of Columbia. She was mad

(19:55):
over COVID nineteen policies. She said that we didn't do
enough to get people vaccinated. She's one of those. Judge
set her free, Judge released her on bail. Who is
the judge US District Judge James Boisburg. Yes, that judge

(20:22):
who hates Trump with all of his being. There are
judges that should be removed from the bench, no doubt
about it. And then lastly, the guy who was trying
to kill Trump outside his golf course here in Florida.

(20:45):
Apparently he's decided to represent himself pre trial conference was
uh was yesterday. He's pled not guilty to the federal charge.
So yeah, there you go, forty minutes past the hour.

(21:05):
Those are your big stories. Got some fascinating sound for
you to hear next. Now this sound comes courtesy of
a listener shared it with me yesterday. It goes back

(21:26):
to March of last year, which is the build up
to the election. Right, we're in campaign mode, and you
remember we talked about that crusty old white woman flipping
off the National guardsman and she's a DOJ paralegal and

(21:50):
got fired. She was videotaped doing it multiple times and
Pambondi said, yep, you're gone conduct. I'mbecoming grounds for termination.
Greg Gettfeld explained this group, and I just want to explain.
He used the term awful. They're awfuls affluent white female

(22:15):
urban liberals. Now he leaves out the urban, but that's
the rest of it. But this is him on the five.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Look, this is not a rematch.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
This is the second half of the Trump Bowl and
Biden was merely the worst halftime show in history, worse
than Maroon five of twenty nineteen.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
And that is saying something.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
You know, we keep talking about the black and Hispanic vote,
but we're missing what it really is. The Dems aren't
losing the black and Hispanic vote. They're losing the black
and Hispanic men.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Right.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Why don't they break that down that men are.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
Fleeing the Democratic Party like it's a showing of Barbie
because it's terrifying to them that they're becoming the party
of awfuls. Right, affluent white female liberals. The Democratic Party
has become like almost like a political version of the
Bud like commercial commercial with Dylan mulvaney. They've alienated men

(23:14):
in order to please miserable activists. And men are like, hey,
we know when we're not wanted, we'll see our way.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
We'll we'll see ourselves out.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
We know what a woman is, right, we know what's
best for our kids, we know what it takes to
protect our cities and our families. And we're tired of
apologizing for laughing at funny jokes and at having natural testosterone. Right,
So they know, they know that the Democratic Party has
become a gender specific party, and it is and it

(23:44):
is run by a specific type who deny biology, deny reality,
deny common sense and laws necessary for safety and security because.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
You know why, they're too mean.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
It's no different than that than a teacher's lounge at
Smith College of alienated men in favor of tormented activists.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
And I would just like to know what has.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Joe Biden, what has the Democracratic Party ever said about
men anything? It's about women, it's about gender, it's about
trans and it's about race, right, and they got so
obsessed with race they forgot about the sexes, they especially.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
One half of the sexes.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
It's a party that's inhospitable to the Y chromosome.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
If you're a man, why stick around.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
To that end? Airbnb co founder ditched the party, Joe
Gebbia quoting, this is a real problem, and there's no
reason why we shouldn't be enforcing the laws of our
country and our border. And so I think as I
started to pull on that thread, I sort of began
to look at other topics and eventually came to the
point where I don't think I can support a political

(24:56):
party that wants to have an open border that lets
in criminals and d people into our country. That's not
something I can get behind. And that was among the
issues that sent him fleeing again a male fleeing. But
it's not just men that are leaving the Democrat Party.
It is full of women, and it is absolutely full

(25:18):
of minorities. What are you waiting for, any of you
out there? The Left's ideas are bad. The Left's ideas
are old, broken sociology, socialism, communism rewrapped, repackaged. You know,

(25:43):
it's like putting lipstick on a pig. There's just it's
still what it is forty six minutes past. Good idea
or is it? Jenevieve Wood Heritage Foundation. We're gonna share

(26:18):
a Heritage Foundation campaign called Shape the Future. It's a
website Shapethefuture dot com. The idea is that maybe things
aren't so bad, that we're about to enter a golden age,
that America's best days are ahead of us. It's a

(26:39):
billboard campaign that's gonna allegedly run nationwide. What is your
outlook on America? Mine is not quite so bright though
day to day I have a remarkable piece, which I

(27:00):
credit to God. I feel like there's a fine line
between putting your hands in your pockets and going h
and saying I'm gonna make the best of each day.
But I accept that we live in a fallen world,
and boy, the signs are all around us. I don't

(27:21):
know if I'm making sense anyway. We'll talk to Genevieve
about all that in just a little bit. Department of
Justice sending six hundred military lawyers to the Justice Department
to serve as temporary immigration judges. Secretary of Defense Pete

(27:42):
Hegseith has approved it. They'll begin sending groups of one
hundred and fifty attorneys, both military and civilian, to the
Justice Department as soon as practicable, and the first round
of people identified by next week. According to a memo
dated so that would be this week, they'll have people

(28:05):
identified to start working on this. The idea is to
remember we said you gotta do warp speed to process
all of the illegals. Well, apparently I wasn't the only
one that did the math. And then this is very interesting,

(28:25):
and I suppose this probably deserves a far deeper look
and deep dive, and perhaps we'll do that. There's a
global study involving one hundred thousand participants in side Tech
Daily that finds owning a cell phone before the age
of thirteen is linked to alarming mental health declines. Cell

(28:50):
phone ownership before teen years was linked to increased likelihood
of suicidal thoughts, heightened aggression, feelings of detachment from reality,
difficulties with emotional control, and diminished self worth at ages
eighteen to twenty four. So it takes a while for
it to show up. The idea behind the study is

(29:13):
they think that phones should be regulated like tobacco. But
there's a problem or the parents see every time we
stumble into something like this, there's a tendency to go yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

(29:42):
But a cell phone is different than weed. Miners can't
just go get a cell phone very easily. It's it's
it's tough and parents will find out same thing with us.
I guess you could make the gonna know about weed,
but I would make a distinction with with weed because

(30:08):
it's it is a proven gateway cell phones. This is
the this is the realm of a mom and a dad.
This is part of parenting. And I you could quibble
with me on the comparison between that and and weed.

(30:31):
I think there's a there's a big difference, but that's
just me. We have this pattern as a country of
allowing the government to step in where where we should
be taking control of things. And that's why we have

(30:51):
parents that don't have any idea where their kids are
at a given moment. All right, Genevieve Wood from Heritage
Foundation joins me next on our two of the Morning Show.

(31:13):
Good Morning, Ruminators, Welcome Wednesday, September third, on The Morning
Show with Preston scottis Ose. I am Preston. Great to
be with you, Show five four hundred and forty four
and we are joined this hour by Genevieve Wood. She's
with a Heritage Foundation. She serves as a counselor spokesperson.
She was a founding team member of The Daily Signal.

(31:36):
We have used pieces from the Daily Signal over the years,
and she joins us this morning to talk about Shape
the Future. It's a billboard campaign. Genevieve tell us about
the genesis of this idea, this campaign.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
Well, good morning, press, and thank you very much for
having us on and talking about the campaign. Yeah, we
are running this in about eight different states, all out
in the Midwest and also in Florida. And the goal is,
too is really twofold. One is we believe that America
is on the cusp of a golden age. And if
you look at the billboards they're related to a campaign.
They're all positive messaging things like America needs more of this,

(32:14):
and it has pictures of family or America pass it
on and really patriotic feelings about it. But there's also
the Shape the Future dot com website that's mentioned on
the billboards, and we want people to go there and
take a survey and tell us one are they optimistic,
to what issues matter most to them? And three what

(32:35):
we need to do to make sure the next two
hundred and fifty years of this country are even better
than the past two hundred and fifty years. And you
know the Heritage Foundation, the Daily Signal. We're based in DC,
the Imperial City and by the way, much cleaner and
safer than it used to be to come visit. But
we you know, we want to represent Americans across the

(32:55):
country and so we don't believe that we have all
the answers just sitting in Washington. We want to hear
from the American people and that's what we're trying to
achieve with this campaign.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
You said something that might give me a clue to
the answer. But the why now is it because we're
at that two fifty mark, and we're going to be
celebrating our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary in a little
less than a year.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
That's certainly part of it, but it's also because we
are at a particular point in our history where we still,
even though we have a lot of challenges, we haven't
gone over the cliff. We have the opportunity to make
you know, you saw the security the border when President
Trump came in to office in January. It took about
what two months to get the border really under control.

(33:39):
After we've been told there's really nothing we can do.
Don't believe what you're actually seeing. It just been enforcing
certain laws. What it shows is if you have the
right policies, the right things can happen. So we're at
a point where we have a president, we have a
slim majority in Congress of conservatives who are willing to
do the right things. First and foremost, secure the border,

(34:00):
but also also first and foremost putting families first and
looking at policies are best for the American family. So
you have to take sees the opportunities if you will,
that you have, and we believe right now we have
the opportunities to get the right policies in place to
keep America going the right direction.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Genevieve, I don't know if if you were told anything
about our relationship here on this radio program with the Heritage,
but we have had a very long relationship with the
Heritage Foundation. I'm a former vocational pastor, so I approach
this through the lens and through the perspective of my
faith in Christ, and I have a little bit of

(34:39):
a different view than what a lot of these billboards
are sharing. And so I'm just I'm curious, what is
once you gather and aggregate the information that you hope
to get from people taking the survey, visiting the website
shapethefuture dot com, what is the hope? Is the hope
to get to kind of create some more policy positions

(35:01):
on different issues. What are you hoping to gain out
of this?

Speaker 6 (35:07):
Well, what we hope to gain is, like I said,
two things. One is passing on a positive message to
give people encouragement, but two to gain from the public.
What are the issues that keep you up at night?
Are the ones that get you up in the morning.
I think people can be hopeful for the future but
also concerned about things at the same At the same
time and helping us get a sense of where people are. Okay,

(35:30):
you have to you have to start there, right And
so it's not we're not going to change our principles
or change policies per se, but knowing which ones are
on top of mind for folks helps us do a
better job of communicating not just with them, but people
who pass the laws that affect all of us.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Joining us on the program as Genevieve would, she you
can tell why she's a very good voice for the
Heritage Foundation. We're going to talk more about this campaign.
It's called Shape the Future. You go to the website
Shapethfuture dot com, the survey, the billboards. I'm looking at
the billboards that they're running. We're gonna talk more about that,
talk more about the states that were chosen to be

(36:07):
part of this and why those that were not chosen
were left out that and more still to come here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
And this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Eleven minutes past the hour. Genevieve Would with the Heritage
Foundation and we're talking about a campaign Shapethfuture dot com.
The idea is to plant some positive seeds. By way
of Billboard, America's best days are ahead of us. Don't
bet against the US. Abundance is more than material in God,
we still trust Don's early light is ever faithful. The

(36:51):
list goes on and on. Genevieve, why the states that
were chosen? I mean, Florida has had a massive swing
from being sort of kind of purple ish to now solid.
Would you could argue the single most conservative state in
the Union. And then states in the Midwest, why not California,
New York and Illinois. Well, there are.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
Some as you probably know, in twenty twenty six coming up,
there's gonna be some interesting political races happening midterm elections,
and some really key Senate races will be happening, particularly
in the Midwest, places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, for example, Ohio,
and so knowing what folks in those places see can
help us talk to them. We're not a political organization,

(37:35):
but we can do a better job of saying, here
are the policies that shape your life and shape your
children's future. Think about those when you go into the election,
when you go into the voting boost. So that's one
of the reasons for those key places, but also places
like Florida very rich demographically in terms of all kinds
of different you know, folks who live there, different backgrounds,
a younger state by and large, and so having that

(37:57):
kind of demography is really helpful, and you're pulling it
in results like this. And I was gonna mention press.
I mean, when you go to the survey, and again
you don't have to see a billboard to go to
the survey. It's called shapetthefuture dot com. You know, for example,
some of the questions that we ask are we asked,
how would you describe yourself? Politically? We ask them to
approve or disapprove of President Trump's performance, But then we say,

(38:21):
you know, are you hopeful for America's future? We ask
can America survive without a religious revival? So we're trying
to get into some pretty deep questions to get a
real sense of what people think. Not only the problems are,
but what the answers are.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
I'm curious the question on President Trump to me is
a conundrum. If the question is simply do you approve
or disapprove? I don't know that I can answer that
because there's so many things I approve of but there
are a lot of things. For example, the decision to
as just one example, the decision to not tackle the debt,
the decision to engage in ownership of private companies with

(39:00):
US taxpayer dollars. Those are very troubling. How does a
guy like me answer a question.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
Like that, well, and you can it's not disapproved or
disapprove it.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Do you strongly approve?

Speaker 6 (39:11):
Do you approve? Do you have no real opinion? Do
you disapproved? You strongly disapproved? Sure, you've got some variation there,
but we also have some open ended questions.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, we can.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
Say, and you know, in your mind, what's the biggest
obstacle to America having you know, going into a real
golden age, And you could write in that the debts
are real problem. That's a huge obstacle, and you'd be
absolutely right. So there's an opportunity not just to click boxes,
but to give true your feedback on top of the
questions that we actually asked.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
All right, pull us behind the curtain. You guys have
done this surveying. How long is the surveying going to last?

Speaker 6 (39:50):
Well, the campaign is going to be up for eight
weeks and we're only in the beginning of week two,
So we don't have a lot of data coming in
just yet, but the campaign is that will be up
for eight weeks and then at that point we'll have
a sense of how much, you know, what we were
able to pull in, whether we need to extend, do
we need to go to other places?

Speaker 1 (40:07):
So once you get this data, how does it get
pulled together analyzed? And then what happens as a result
of it?

Speaker 6 (40:17):
Well, and first happening you will come in, we'll be
able to, like I said, we ask a lot of
questions like what is you know, your background? We have
a sense of like what if more women think about this?
What did more men think about this? What do different
age groups give us when it comes to these answers,
then taking a look at that and matching up with
the policies that we were working on internally at Heritage,
with what the people have told us they say these

(40:38):
are the most important ones to us, and then sorting
through state by state, how do we talk about these
more effectively in these individual states. But it just really
helps inform our work, and like I said, the way
we talk to those who are elected officials and make
the laws we all.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Live by so hopefully you plan to have a paper,
a kind of set of suggestions. What do you hope
to have put together by.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
When well, the goal in some cases would be we
can start using this immediately. Really going into into the
next year were the midterms, where there's going to be more,
hopefully a renewal of talk about policies that affect the family,
that affect our communities that are not just Washington based,
but in our communities based. And we can say to

(41:26):
elected officials we meet with, you know, here's the survey
that we did in this particular state among this particular group,
and here's what people are telling us, and it's something
that you ought to listen to. And again, depending on
the material that comes in, we may decide to extend
a campaign, take it to other places, but ultimately is
to take the feedback and make sure that people who

(41:47):
are making the decisions know about it. I don't think
we'll be doing like a white background paper on it,
but we can use that information as our analysts right
about family policy, right about tax policy, right about immigration
and border policy. They can take some of the questions
that people come send in and say, you know what
we need to answer this in our papers, or maybe

(42:08):
the daily signal says, you know what, we need to
write more op eds and pieces that address the questions
that people are telling us are most important to them.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Last question, Genete, even thanks so much for giving me
just another minute or two extra. I'm curious. I know
that generally speaking, Republicans, people on the right side of
the aisle, moderates, conservatives are listening, are at least open
to seeing what Heritage Foundation pushes out. Are Democrats, Are
people on the left side of the aisle even remotely

(42:38):
interested in what you have to say as a group.

Speaker 6 (42:42):
You know, they used to be a little bit more
so when you had more Democrats who were not just
so far left as they are as they are today.
But what's interesting is that you know, that's not the
way most Americans classify themselves, right, Most Americans don't classify
themselves as I'm far right or I'm part left, or
even really in these kind of political labels. And so
what we're trying to do is, you know, you can

(43:04):
go to anybody can go to the Heritage website, but
we also put information out there that doesn't have our
name on it. It's one reason we created the daily
signal is because we want people just to be able
to read the news or read a perspective and not
have it to stamp with something that might to get
go say, oh, I shouldn't read this. So we do
both because we do believe our ideas are for everybody.

(43:25):
They're not just for a certain kind of person, for everybody,
and we want people to have the opportunity to make
the decisions that are best for them. And thankfully the
American people are more open than some of their elected
officials are.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I appreciate you making time for us this morning, and
I'm going to push this out. I'm going to push
this out for the next few weeks and see if
we can get some responses for you. Terrific. Thank you,
Thank you. Genevieve would with us from the Heritage Foundation.
The website Shapethefuture dot com. Go for it, fill out
the survey shape the Future dot com. You heard her.

(43:59):
They want to hear from you. Let him hear from you.
Nineteen past the hour and love my friends. Well. Time

(44:21):
to then Monk Show with Cleston Scott, a little Flenn,
a little Banash. As we begin this segment at Glenn
and twenty four passed the hour win a couple of

(44:41):
minutes long, so this will be a short segment. Federal
Appeals Court yesterday delivered a huge blow to an Obama
appointed judge, Judge Tanya Chutkin. It was a narrow ruling.
It was two to one US District judged Tanya Chutkin
and Obama appoint He had granted an injunction against the

(45:03):
EPA and Barlee Zelden from cutting the funding to eight
green nonprofits. He tried to claw back about twenty billion
dollars in grants under the greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. City
Bank agreed to freezing the funds earmarked for eight nonprofits.

(45:24):
The judge said, no, it must be unfrozen, and it
must be unfrozen by September fourth. And so the Trump
administration filed an immediate appeal. And oh my goodness, now
the judges two Trump appointed judges sided with Trump. Obama
pointed judge did not. So the majority ruling went like this.

(45:47):
We conclude the District Court abused its discretion and issue
in the injunction. The grantees are not likely to succeed
on the merits because their claims are essentially contractual and Therefore,
jurisdiction lies exclusively in the court of f federal claims,
and while the district court had jurisdiction of the grantees
constitutional claim, that claim is meritless. Moreover, the equity strongly

(46:08):
favor the government, which on behalf of the public, must
ensure the proper oversight management of this multi billion dollar fund. Accordingly,
we vacate the injunction. Here's the basis basis. This is
the basis of all of it. Project Veritas had caught

(46:29):
Environmental Protection Agency advisor Brent Efron on undercover video admitting
that there was an insurance policy against Trump getting elected. Quote,
it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Get the
money out as fast as possible for the Trump administration
come in. It's like we're on the Titanic and throwing

(46:50):
gold bars off the edge. Remember we told you in
the days before Trump took office on January twentieth of
this year, that Biden was spending as much money as possible.
Trump got in and frozen. If a president can spend it,

(47:19):
a president can unspend it. If it was legally spent
by Biden, then it can legally be frozen. No, I
choose not to spend that money that way. That's a
win for US twenty eight, twenty seven. Yet twenty minutes past.

(47:39):
Big stories in the press box coming up at moments
real quick. Here a lot of people calling attention to
a storm system that's spinning or found out there off

(48:00):
the coast of Africa, slowly edging. It looks like it'll
form into something and then kind of not middle of
next week you'll probably start hearing about it. I would
estimate that you'll start hearing about this thing in earnest
Sunday Monday, but by by Thursday it's going to start.

(48:26):
It looks like right now it'll start to deteriorate as
it gets near the Dominican Republic and come Friday kind
of dissolved. But something's going to pop up along the
eastern coast of the United States next week and be
a nasty storm. Whether it turns into a hurricane or not,

(48:48):
I don't know, but it's it's going to hit the
northeastern part of the country late next week and into
the weekend with some pretty severe rain, it looks like.
But anyway, came across a piece from the Federalist DEM's
refusing Trump's help prove the city's lawlessness is a choice.

(49:15):
More than fifty people were shot, eight killed this past weekend.
That's a military zone, and the mayor, Brandon Johnson spent
his time telling residents of Chicago to be ready to
defend this land, quoting defend this land from the National Guard.

(49:42):
In Chicago alone, there have been two hundred and seventy
four murders and more than twelve hundred people shot this year,
and we're not done. I've got stories here of people
in Chicago. I've been listening to their news reports. Residents

(50:04):
of Chicago's saying we need help. Police are trying their best,
but they're led that the cities, led by people who
believe in defunding the police. Pastors are speaking out saying
we need a little shock and awe here there's a problem.
Police alone aren't going to get it done. Police alone

(50:28):
will not make our cities, are our neighborhoods safe. So
back to this piece and the Federalist. Their objection isn't
about safeties about politics. Safe streets and secure neighborhoods are
universally popular, but when Democrats can't allow it's for Trump
to prove that law and order actually works. If the

(50:48):
National Guard is deployed to Chicago and crime falls as
it has in DC, it proves that shootings, murders, carjackings,
and other violent crime in Chicago was merely a choice
a result of weak and spineless Democrats in power who
refuse to restore law in order to save their own constituents.

(51:12):
Democrats aren't afraid of the National Guard, They're afraid of
what the guard's success would reveal. That's from Brianna Lyman,
correspondent at the Federalist. She's very astuteent her observation. But

(51:33):
isn't it consistent? Democrats don't care about the victims of
illegal immigrants coming into this country, killing people intentionally accidentally
by being here. They don't care about that They need
a voting class indebted to them, because there's millions that

(52:01):
are seeing how worthless Democrat policies are. Listening to me,
Max worthless. These policies are destructive, they're not enlightened. History
proves them wrong. Continent after continent, nation after nation, city

(52:22):
after city. How is it that crime rrupts and Democrat
run cities? How is it that economy's crater in states
run by Democrats where they believe in a tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax,
tax regulation, regulation, regulation, higher cost of living, higher cost

(52:47):
of everything. These policies don't work. They don't care. They
just need a victim class to feel a sense of worth.
Forty seven minutes after come back and we'll talk about
another public danger. Fifty two minutes past the hour, Charlie

(53:23):
Strickland in just a bit things to talk about in
our personal defense segment. We're also going to talk about
less lethal options, those to consider and those not to
consider equally, if not more important. No, don't do that
type stuff. Saw that coming up next hour. If you

(53:44):
have some questions relative to personal defense, just shoot me
an email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. I'll do my best.
This is another piece from the Federalist. This is from
the senior editor, John Daniel Davidson. Now I need you
to listen very carefully. This is not take out a
context moment here. We don't have to tolerate the demonic

(54:09):
ideology that destroys lives, tears families apart, and keeps producing
mass shooters. He writes, it should be obvious, and I'm
jumping around a little bit. It should be obvious by
now the transgenderism. The entire industrial complex of medical interventions,
legal actions, social affirmation, and political rhetoric now attached to

(54:30):
what was once called gender dysphoria is a serious threat
to public safety. As such, it should be outlawed and
eradicated from public life. Let me be clear, I am
not saying that individuals who believe they are trands should
be eradicated, but the gender ideology that affirms them in

(54:51):
their delusion should be Men and women suffering from this
cruel delusion should have our compassion, and every efforts should
be made to bring them back to the reality of
their biological sex. Public policy, however, should focus on the
ideology of transgenderism and those who perpetuate it. We should

(55:12):
treat it the way we treated radical Islam after nine
to eleven Communism in the nineteen fifties. It should be
understood as a dangerous threat, and anyone advocating or working
to advance it should be treated as a criminal and
an enemy of the people. It goes on to write,
what does that mean in practice? Doctors that administer so

(55:35):
called gender affirming care, whether in the form of prescribing
hormone blockers or performing mutilative surgeries on otherwise healthy patients
should have their medical licenses revoked and face criminal prosecution.
They should arguably be held liable for the crimes of
the mentally unstable people they exploited for profit. Such laws

(55:59):
should make no distinction between doctors who do this to
miners or to adults. This is an important point because
it gets to the heart of why transgenderism is so
pernicious and dangerous, and why so many people were duped
into tolerating for so long. On the right, we often
hear arguments that such and such transgender medical intervention should
be banned for miners, the implication that it's okay if

(56:21):
an adult wants these things done. That's wrong. It denies
the reality that these interventions can only cause harm, violating
every physician's hippocratic oath. HM you can read the rest

(56:42):
of it. The headline is called it's time to eradicate
transgenderism from public life from the federalist John Daniel Davidson.
That's not promoting hate, that's that's speaking to a reality.

(57:05):
I have told you from the get go this is
a mental illness, and all you need is to see
the reaction of people engaging in it. When they're questioned
or pushed back on hour three. Next, if I pass

(57:37):
the hour, I am turning the page on the rundown.
Here it is see Third Hour Morning Show with Preston
Scott Show five four and forty four. He is Jose.
I can't. He's polished his head, he shaved his hair,
and it's just it's it's reflecting it. It's like a
beacon over there. It's Studio one A, and I here

(58:00):
in Studio one B, and I am joined by co
founder of the Talent Training group. He is co host
of Talent Outdoors and he's our friend from the talent
training group Talent Range dot Com. I mean, how many
talent things can we say in sixty seconds?

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Talent Security it's my other company. Here you go, Talent Holsters.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Yeah, I knew if we primed to pump along enough
we'd get some more. We have determined though, that the
talent Winery in Tennessee or Kentucky it is is not
part of the.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Oh, there's a ton of things talent. You know, people
call you are all y'all talent grips, which are these
little stick on skateboard tape you put on pistol grips.
I'm like, no, no, And we tried, and then there's
talent look Black Talent Amo, and there's okay. When we
started trying to get some trademarks and stuff, we found
out all of the things out there that are talent
that prohibited us from getting certain things right. Anyway, we

(59:04):
just wanted to name it. We didn't wanted to make
it Charlie and JD's Training Company or JD and Charlie's
Rains or anything like that. Was to come up with something,
everybody goes, I have anything there, would it be a
Tyler Hasse? He said, no, No. Talent came from Eagle Talons.
And when I was on the SWAT team, you know
the Eagle and Lightning bolt was the logo and I

(59:25):
did some artwork on it one time, and you know
my favorite part of the Eagles. They actually the talents.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
And I was thinking, you have the original artwork, you
got to put it up for sale, raised raise some
money for a good cost.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
It was graphic computer graphics.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Still sign it and put your signature on it. It'll be
worth one hundred.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
I can print a thousand of them and sell them
all his originals. That's my original signature.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Charlie's striggling with us this morning. It is our personal
defense segment, and we have to have a laugh now
and then because the stuff that's in the news just
sometimes is not that funny, and it's not even remotely funny,
and it's downright discouraging. And we had another shooter at
a church school in Minneapolis, and Charlie, churches and church

(01:00:13):
schools are being targeted. Yes, they are specifically being targeted. Yes,
what are some considerations that people in those environments need
to have?

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Guns, protection, security, a plan, a security team. There's so
many things. I mean, there's it's not a new prescription,
it's not a new concept. We've been dealing with this
for years and years now, and I think a lot
of times when these things happen, and what people consider

(01:00:46):
to be safe places, I mean where you should feel
the safest is normally where we should be the most
concerned now because people let their guard down. And when
you go to church or you're in a Christian school
or whatever religion, you know, any house of worship based school,
you feel like, well, nothing's going to happen there, But

(01:01:06):
because you know we're we're there in a place of God,
you know, and that that's not no. But that's where
people are going crazy. People excuse me, but these a
lot of these people are are mentally ill or are
have twisted some way shape form or fashion away from
and and and they have an agenda against an organization.
And when you have an organization that that that has

(01:01:30):
such a passion or following or faith, then you're going
to find people that oppose that, or that are angry
or are upset or feel betrayed, or through whatever twisted
sense they make of it, have decided they're going to
go after and rebel and fight back and do something.
So you know, anytime you you you set yourself up

(01:01:54):
to stand on firm ground and and and and build
a build a place for yourself, there's somebody trying to
tear that down. And if they don't agree with you,
that gives them and their warped minds a reason to
do it. So you've got your kid in a faith
based school, that school has a duty to your children,

(01:02:16):
that organization, that church that you're in, has a duty
to the people that worship there to provide safety and
security for them, and needs to allow someone there with
a gun to protect them they need to have a plan,
they need to drill they need to do these things,
they need to have a team. All the things that
we've talked about, we're.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Going to talk more about them and drill down a
little bit further. Here ten past the Hour with Charlie
Strickland a talent training group. Here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
We're talking about the aftermath of what happened in Minneapolis
and the considerations that any of you. If you attend
a church, if you run a church, you're a pastor.
If you run a school, you've got a private school,
do you have a plan? Charlie is in all the

(01:03:25):
years that you and JD have talked with businesses, organizations, schools, churches, synagogues,
you name it, that's probably in the high hundreds, if
not thousands at this point. What's worse a bad plan
or no plan? Are they equally about?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I don't know. I mean that's hard to say, because
how bad is your bad plan? So if your plan
is to have someone run up lock the doors when
somebody's shooting at the doors and to call nine one one,
I'd say that's probably worse than no plan, because no
plan would involve everybody running you know which away, and
mass confusion. They're both bad. I mean, having a good

(01:04:04):
plan is so easy. I mean, it really is. It's
not difficult. It's not absolutely. I know, in your church,
with your team and your people that you're involved in,
you guys have it going on. I mean I know.
I mean I've listened to you, I know what a
lot of what y'all are doing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Well, you we had you and JD involved with our
site evaluation and making recommendations to how we should approach
security for our church.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Well, we've talked to so many houses of worship in
the region, going out looked at places, We've worked with
people's teams. We've trained so many people through our classes,
I mean thousands upon thousands, and so yeah, I'd say
that's probably made a little bit of a difference in
this area. And it's not like Tyler Hassey's prone to

(01:04:51):
have an active huger situation here. I mean we've only
had three that I can recall, you know, that's all.
And so you know, people go, oh, it's not going
to happen here. Well, you don't know what happens on
a daily basis around us. Down There are shots fired
in this town every single night, you know, so just
people don't get hit every single night, get hit enough,
I mean, and there's no amount of police or police

(01:05:12):
work or anything that's going to stop that from happening
as long as there are people out there that are angry.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
And that's really the point. Police, sheriffs, law enforcement in
general can only react. This is about having someone on site.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
It's like trying to move water. I mean, you put
your hand in a bucket and you want to move
it to one side. All you're doing is moving in
it over there, and it's flowing in right behind. Law
enforcement can only do so much. We as citizens, we
as we have a duty to protect ourselves. We have
a responsibility of a duty to protect our families and
our people around us. You know, there are different times

(01:05:49):
of people. We talk about the predator, the prey, and
the protector, you know, the evil person out there. That
evil does exist in our society. There is the predator
that's the person that we're concerned about. The prey and
the prayer. The people that are not capable of the
predator has the propensity and the capacity to commit violence.
They can commit violence, and they are willing and able
to commit violence. The prey are the people who just

(01:06:11):
are not prepared to commit violence and protection of themselves
or others. They don't have the mindset to do it,
so they don't have the capacity or the propensity to
commit violence. And then there's a protector and those that's
those of us who have the capacity for violence. But
we do not have the propensity for violence. We have
the ability to commit violent acts if necessary, but we

(01:06:34):
don't have the mindset to do it for any reason
other than in protection of ourselves or our community or
other people. And so if you count yourself among to
protect your class, and you can say we're not like,
we're not animals, we are human beings. We can change
our stripes. We can go from being a defenseless person
to being able to defend ourselves. But it takes first

(01:06:56):
to change in your mindset. You have to say, I'm
not going to let this happened to me, I'm not
going to let this happen to my family. I'm not
going to let this happen to my child, to my children.
And what you as a parent or as a person
should do is to demand the boards of directors of
organizations and church boards and that we need to have
this and I'm not going to be here. My child's

(01:07:17):
not going to be here. I'm not going to be
here on something unless you do something in this organization
to protect us, because I don't want to be looking
over my shoulder all the time, and I don't want
to be worried about my kid at school. In school,
you know, and there are guns and everywhere now on
the good side of things and on the bad side
of things. I mean, guns show up from here. There's
kids that do stupid stuff and bring things to school

(01:07:40):
they shouldn't. But there are also people that are planning
things and doing things and there's a whole science behind that.
But so what my advice to everyone is to if
you're part of an organization is sit down with leadership
and go what are you doing to protect me? And
how can I help? I mean, it's just that easy.
You have to start the conversations. You have to do

(01:08:01):
it with a firm hands.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Nice pair of questions to begin the conversation. When we
come back. Another story from the news that I decided
to put in the segment today because it's somewhat seasonal,
and I'll explain next twenty two minutes past the hour

(01:08:26):
with Charlie Strickland of the talent training group talentrange dot com.
Get your training and become a member out there, and
you know, the idea is to not just shoot paper
targets unless that's just what you want to do for fun.
If you're serious about personal defense, get some training and
you'll benefit from it. I mentioned another story Charlie that's
in the news. I said it was seasonal because we've

(01:08:47):
got kids back in school, we've got students back in
town at the campuses. And came across the story of
parking lot. Someone tried to rob a convenience store here
in Florida, Saint John's County and tried as well to
kidnap a female out of the store. She fought with

(01:09:08):
everything she had in her and got away, So there
was a happy ending there. But I want to talk
about the the awareness factor and some of the things
that we should be advising our daughters and the ladies
in our community as we're now going to see more
and more availability of the potential victims.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Get off of that cell phone, because that is the
one thing. We talk about levels of awareness, we talk
about conditioned white and yellow red or orange red and black.
Cooper's color code. You all can google that and ask
AI to explain that to you. Probably do a decent job.
So the a little inside. I listened yesterday's show, so

(01:09:53):
uh segment one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Ladies and Gentlemen, Charlie. So it'll be here all week
the U.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
So the biggest issue is they Fox News. Sh I'm
looking up there at the screen. They're showing the Chuck
E Cheese mascot getting arrested again.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
That was funny.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
That guy has been arrested a bunch on TV.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Yes, he has well got So.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
The biggest thing when the levels of awareness is people
are so distracted in this day and age. I mean people,
I see it all the time, and I'm guilty. I
have to watch myself because you know, I have to
make myself look up for my cell phone sometimes, you know,
and you know, you just have to find the time
and a place for all that. You know, when you're
sitting there in a restaurant, somebody walks.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
In the door.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
You need you hear something new, Glance up, glants up,
just look around with a critical eye. You know, does
that look normal? Be listening? You know, is that that
ambient noise or is that out of the ordinary? I
mean those things where you're constant. I mean you say,
head on a swivel. Well, I'm not talking about walking
around all paranoid, righting. But talk to your kids, particularly daughters,
about listen. Or is somebody you know, somebody staring at you?

(01:10:55):
You know you're there in a bar, I mean, is
somebody staring at you, stalking you, trying to get close
to you? Now they're hovering around your drink, you know,
next to or they you know, keep your drink covered up?
You want toby dropping anything in there? Things like that. Yeah,
when when And that's that's a lot of it. I mean,
it happens, It does happen. Doesn't you get a reported
as often as it happens. And so if you're walking

(01:11:16):
out of a store, you know, just glance up, scan
the parking lot. You know, something's going on. So it's somebody.
You walk into a store, somebody's robbing a store. You're
in the store, run the back, go to the go it,
go in the cooler, you know, go find somewhere to
get away from them because they're so worried about law
enforcement coming, they're thinking about other things. Don't stand there.

(01:11:39):
I mean, yeah, you want to be a good witness.
They got cameras, they got a witness. You get away,
you know, don't you know? Go run into beer cooler
and grab a beer bottle and hold it in your
hand as a weapon, you know, and hit them across
the head if they come in. Carry things with you
that you can use this weapons. Yeah, just because you
can't have something on campus doesn't mean you can't have

(01:12:00):
it out in public. And so there are laws that
allow you to carry certain things around. There are different
less lethal items that you could carry on you that
you can use even if you're not twenty one, and
you can't carry a farm, and a lot of these
college kids are not old enough to carry a farm
because you can carry one without a permit if you're
twenty one and you're legally allowed to get a permit
if you don't have a criminal record, But you can't

(01:12:21):
do it on a college campus. Can't least, you can't
do it on a college campus. You can keep one
in your car on parked on a college campus, but
not you can't have one in a structure on campus obviously,
not in dorm rooms and things like that or anything.
It's campus university affiliated, so you need to be careful,
make sure you're abided by the law. But you can't
have pepper spray and tasers and things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
We're going to talk about that in the next segment.
We're going to talk about the less lethal options, the good,
the bad, and the oh don't that fall into those categories.
But I think I want to end this segment with
where we started. You said the word put the phones
down and be aware.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Yeah, just be aware. Look around you, be aware of
what's happening because and and don't be afraid of offending someone.
A lot of times people will oh if if I
act afraid, you know what, you're gonna offend people. If
you say the right thing or wrong things, somebody's gonna
get offended. I get it. You don't want to appear
to be racist or sexist or this or that or whatever.

(01:13:19):
But if someone's making giving you the creepy feeling, trust
your discernment, trust your judgment. You know, you don't want
to get too far down that road. I mean, just
look at the way people are dressed, look at the
way they're they're acting, they're posturing, their body language, their
eye contact. It will speak volumes and your instincts tend

(01:13:39):
to be pretty right, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
The point of bringing this up here is I recognize
they're not a ton of young people. We have some
college students, some homeschool students, we have some high school
students that might be catching this. But the bottom line
is talk to your kids about this, whether they're on
this campus, on another campus somewhere else, let them listen
to this segment. Get them thinking about it. Twenty seven
past the.

Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
Hour, Always looking for the Truth. It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven
w FLA.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
In the obligatory I am, We're back Charlie Strickland with
me from the Talent Training group Talent Range again telling
Range dot Com. And I texted Charlie earlier in the week.
I said, Okay, are there some things you definitely want
to make sure recover? He said yes.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
So every now and then you run across something and
I saw something being shared on Facebook about this happened.
And the police officer told my friend and she told me,
and blah blah blah blah, blah, And it brought home
a point about less lethal stuff. And I went in
a credit union one day and I'm sitting there. It's

(01:15:04):
a small credit union in a small town, and I'm
talking to the lady at the counter and I'm like, well,
I look over behind next to her keyboard and there's
a can of waspray And I said, I'm looking around
the room and I said, you have many wasp in here,
and she goes, it's funny, nobody's ever mentioned that before.
And I said, you're not using that for self defense,

(01:15:24):
are you. And she goes, she looks around and she goes,
we're not allowed to have any weapons in here. And
so my friend said, a police officer told them that
I should get a can of waspray and I'm like,
you know that doesn't work, and she goes, well, they
said that, you know, we have to be careful because
it could blind somebody. And out of this and it
was more effective than I said. No, it's got priorythroan

(01:15:46):
in it and it's like one percent, and that's designed
to work on insects, nervous systems, not people. And yes,
it can cause permanent blind it can cause blindness in
people if you get it in their eyes, but it's
not immediate if you sprayed it in your eye. I've
had wasp spray in my eyes before. Spraying washed above
my head got in my eye, and I'm like, well
that's kind of that doesn't even burn, you know. And

(01:16:08):
it's got patrolling products in it and different things in
it and carry. It's not going to incapacitate anyone. It
might irritate them and in a few minutes it may
cause them some distress, but it's not immediate. It's not
designed for that, and it doesn't work for that. And
so people go, Okay, get a big can of wash spray.
It'll spray out to thirty thieft you know what, so

(01:16:29):
will bear spray and it will work on people. And
it has a pretty effective because it's so there's so
much volume to it. You can buy bear spray by
that online. The bear spray is not as strong as
people spray, I mean by regular O sea spray. It's
a little bit stronger than the bear spray. But the
bear spray projects a long stream. It goes way out

(01:16:49):
there because obviously if you got bears, you don't want
to get too close to them, and you can use
it on people. Because it's not a lethal item, you
can carry it. Now there's you can only carry so
much pepper spray on you. And the little handheld devices,
you can carry those open and you can carry those concealed.
You don't have to do the Florida law allows you

(01:17:10):
to carry them either way. Something with a taser. You
can carry a taser openly or concealed on you. But
but well, the projectile can't fire more than fifty sixteen
feet and most of the civilian tasers or fifteen feet.
But the problem with a taser is is both probes
have to contact at a certain distance away from each other.

(01:17:31):
In order to get a proper spread. Both probes have
to contact the body or there cannot be more than
a two inch gap between where it hits into clothing
and to work. There's a lot of issues with you
only get one shot. They cost as much as a
hang gun, and you know it's they're effective if you
don't have anything else. Pepper spray is effective about half

(01:17:52):
the time, I mean on half the people. I mean,
it's not a fantastic weapon, but it's better than not.
I mean, you know, so I would carry it. I
tell people to carry. We sell it in the store
where you can buy it lose, I mean, get it anywhere.
I would encourage people to get some sort of a weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
I want to talk about the one that we're getting
the most emails about as we speak, and it's turn
It's yeah, the pepper spray or projectile launcher. You can
get a pepper tear gas mixture projectile. You can get
just a hard projectile. It's it's a paintball gun without paintballs.
But we want to talk about that next forty one

(01:18:43):
minutes past the hour, final segment here with Charlie Strickland
of the Talent Training Group. Remember just go to talentrange
dot com for some training burnas Sean Hannity talks about
them all the place, they're becoming more and more popular.
We people writing in asking about burners because they, for example,
might be a contractor at a state university and they're

(01:19:04):
used to carrying, but they can't carry on campus. They
follow the rules, even though bad people don't.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
Can they carry not burna is on campus.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
No, that is so disappointing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
I'll do some research and I'll look at exactly what
the law says, and maybe and getting back to you.
They don't know the whole reason, but I do know
that they cannot. So. But Burner's you know, when they
first came out with Berna and it was just marketed heavily.
They have a heavy marketing and conservative talk circles too.
They have Burna. So Burna is a pepper ball. It

(01:19:35):
is a paintball, just like a paintball gun, like kids
go play with and they'd have the paintball. When then
you know, they got all these paintball tournaments and stuff
like that. They're you're shooting a paintball and they hurt,
especially if you're at bear skin or anything that's not padded.
They do hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
They leave a whelp.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
I mean, we used to use paintballs in and plastic
bullets and stuff, and our and our training courses. I
have shot a lot of depth. There's some deputy old
deputies out there listening and they been through our training
or do serpentine training, and they had they had plastic
bullets marking cartridges, and I had a paintball gun and
if they got out from behind cover, I'd eat them up.
I mean, and I've seen guys leave there with whelps

(01:20:11):
on them. They hurt, but you know, we use them
on each other. So you take that technology and you
fill it instead of paint, you fill it with olerism
CAP says and powder O C powder, and so you
get that respiratory effect as well as the pain from
the thing hitting. It's more effective than pepper spray, except

(01:20:33):
that you know, if you get it up on the
upper part of the body where the powder gets in
your face, so you have the pain, compliance, you have
the respiratory effect and the blinding effect of the pepper powder.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Is there a difference when they combine the projectile with
not just the pepper, but the tear gas component as well.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
I mean it has the same basic effect. So CS
and OC or two of the chemical components we use
in a tactical environment. You know, OC is more of
a irritant to the mucous membranes and the eyes. It's
more of a it's more of that A C. S

(01:21:11):
has more of a A. I forget the name of it.
That's a bigger just a bigger word, but it's it's
a little different effect. You put the two together, Yeah,
you're gonna have You're gonna have a little bit more
more of more effective chemical compound. However, it's still not
it's not a gun. Okay, so understand you're not carrying

(01:21:32):
a gun. Uh, you might distract people with it. That
might if they may think they're being shot because it's
shaped like a gun. It may sound under stress. You know,
it's pop pop pop. They're getting the impact. But keep
in mind, it is a distractor. It is a It
causes a pause in combat, and that's all you can
expect from most less lethal weapons. That is going to

(01:21:56):
get their attention. It's going to distract them. It's going
to give you a moment or two to try to
get away. It's not going to When I you know,
we were talking on a break, I consider incapacitating. When
they say, what doesn't incapacitate people? To me, that's it
stops them from doing anything to you, and it it
makes them lay there and wait for somebody to get there.
I don't consider that incapacitating. All it does is a

(01:22:18):
distractor to me. It gets their attention. They're solely focused
on what's going on with their body at that point
in time. Now, if they are under the influence of
drugs or they are mentally ill, it may not have
the physiological effects that you want it to, the physical
effects that you want it to. It may cause them
to be angry, you know. And then there are other

(01:22:40):
things like handheld flashlights, you know, impact weapons, things like that.
I love a flashlight. I've got a flashlight in my pocket.
There's I noticed one over there. Clip to your having
a little bright light you can shine in somebody's face,
hold it in your hand, push button on the back.
You stab them in the stab them in the ice,
stab them in the temple across the bridge of the
those you know, it's as a last resort.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Was my brother's favorite spot to use. The bridge of
the nose.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Well. I mean, you take a little handheld device like
that and everybody knows how to stab. I mean, so
you know those having something on you, I mean the
little noise distraction devices, that's nothing. That's you know, your
keys to your car and make your alarm go beat
beep or something. There's you gotta just don't. It's not

(01:23:23):
a lucky charm. It's not gonna make the world go away.
It's not gonna keep the evil, you know, the wolf
off your doorstep. You know, you need to be you
need to develop the mindset actually commit violence because that's
what it's gonna take to prevent violence. And then your
mindset changes, the way you carry yourself, your posturing changes,
and you become less likely to be a victim. If
you look like you can, I can pick them out

(01:23:44):
of a lineup, I'll make eye contact with you. You are
way less likely to be a victim.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Thanks is always for coming in. Yeah, Charlie Stricklin of
the talent training group talentrange dot com. Such good, useful,

(01:24:13):
helpful information. I am convinced that what we have done,
thanks to the expertise of Charlie and JD over the years,
has made a difference. I know their training has I

(01:24:33):
know that, but I hope that those of you that
have never ever addressed the issue of your personal safety
recognize that you can do something about it. You can

(01:24:55):
be properly trained. It still infuriates me. Look, I'm not
mad at the of FSU police. They're doing what the
law says they have to do, but it is so wrong.
They have a city inside a city at FSU FAMU

(01:25:18):
Golf Coast State College FSU Golf Coast or whatever the
campus is in Panama City, TSC. They are so wrong
lawmakers are so wrong not saying to colleges and universities
you must allow people to carry. They must be allowed
their constitutional right. You have multiple points of entry. You

(01:25:45):
have no way of protecting everybody, not a chance, No
more so than any other police department can. And every
time you say gun free zone, don't have a gun,
don't have a gun. The bad people don't give a
rats crap about what your laws and policies and science say.
They don't care. So infuriating to me. Wake up committee

(01:26:16):
weeks Florida lawmakers, Wake up, wake up, wake up, do
the right thing. Fifty four minutes past. Yeah, that's about
all I've got to say.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
It's the Morning.

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):
Show one on WFLA good convo convo.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
With Charlie Strickland. Had a really good conversation as well
with Genevieve Wood. She was really good. First time I've
had a chance to have her on the show. I
think she was solid. And you can go to the
website shapethefuture dot com take the survey, and I'm asking

(01:26:56):
you all to do that. Take the survey. It it
actually might lead to some policy suggestions that make a difference.
Maybe that's what I got to do with this show
the Mad Radio Network. Oh yeah, make a difference. That

(01:27:19):
come on, probably won't go anywhere. Look, I've been trying
to get publics to use We're shopping is a pleasure
for years that it's falling up that fear. Just kidding.
Big stories in the press box.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
We have.

Speaker 1 (01:27:39):
We've recovered the minute of videotape that's missing Epstein files.
It shows nothing, but it's there. They have it. It
wasn't not ever there, It wasn't erroneously removed to cover up.
It just doesn't show anything, but it's there. The attempted

(01:28:02):
Trump assassin from Florida is gonna defend himself. The wanna
be assassin has been released by US District Judge James Boseburg.
She's a nut, and of course that's what we do
with nuts. We say, yeah, if you're released on pale
just because he hates Trump? Crazy huh. Covered a lot
of other ground. Really good show today with the passis Stunts,

(01:28:24):
our personal defense segment. Friends, Tomorrow We're gonna do it again.
Can't wait.
