Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, good morning everyone, and welcome to The Morning Show
with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He is Jose. It is
great to be with you on this first day of October.
At It's ok Toober. I don't know, I just felt

(00:39):
like that ought to be the way it would be said.
It's it's good to be with you. We start today
with a little scripture and friends. There is absolutely some
kind of spiritual stirring that is happening, not just in

(01:01):
our country but around the world. And understand this Satan
doesn't like it, and that's why there is some unbelievably
violent response to it everywhere, from China, Russia, some of

(01:26):
these places where God is all but forbidden to be worshiped,
to places like South Korea that you would think, well,
I mean, isn't that like a big hub for christian
You'd be surprised. I've got a story that I've been

(01:46):
just sitting on for a while about the persecution of
a pastor in South Korea because he's not bowing to
what's going on there. And what's going on there is
a move to socialism. We have an absolute ignorance in

(02:08):
our young people of the dangers of socialism. While there
are young people that are moving towards conservatism, there's a
bunch of them moving to socialism. They're being lied to.
Socialism is nothing but a lie. And so I say
that because the importance of God's word now more than ever,

(02:30):
is being highlighted through the events and through the news
and through the things that we're seeing. The importance of
you changing your routines and making time to read God's
word with your children, teaching them the value of anchoring

(02:51):
their life to it, but not just saying it, doing it,
living it, modeling it. If it's not good enough for
you to live it, what makes you think your kids
aren't capable of seeing that and going well, They just
talk about it. They don't live it. Mom and Dad

(03:12):
talk about us living peacefully with others. They don't even
live peacefully with themselves. Dad's not the priest of our home.
I know, I know it hurts still. In the Book

(03:34):
of Hagei, chapter two, we talked yesterday about the challenge
that God was offering through Hagi to the people of
Israel to get about the business of getting God's house

(03:55):
in order. And we talked about how that in the
New Testament is you and me, you and me in
order getting our interior right, because we are the temple
of the Holy Spirit. When you become a Christian, the
Holy Spirit takes residents inside you. You have a new heart.

(04:16):
It's why things just start to be different. I have
watched video after video after video of young people that
didn't know Charlie Kirk that are making a mockery of
that smug little girl talking about it. He's not a martyr,
he doesn't matter enough to be a martyr. And the
thousands and thousands and thousands and perhaps millions that are saying,

(04:37):
I don't know this guy, but for the first time
in my life, I mean, these are young men in tears.
I'm reading a Bible and I'm realizing that I need
to change teams. What this guy believed and died for

(05:00):
listening to his wife forgive her husband's killer. Yeah, I
want that. And Hagi too. Verse four it says, yet
now be strong, oserabable, and he is the one called
to rebuild the lead the effort to rebuild the temple,

(05:21):
declares the Lord be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehosadac,
the high priest, be strong, all you people of the land.
Declares the Lord. Work for I am with you, declares
the Lord of hosts. Here's the new Testament application. Work
on yourself, be a better version of you, because God

(05:47):
is with you. I'm done. I don't even need to
do the rest of the show. Have a good.

automobile in nineteen oh eight. It's price eight hundred and
fifty dollars. That was a lot of money back then.

Acts of Poetry Day. So there you go. Today on

(09:20):
the program J D. Johnson. Much to discuss. But when
we come back, kids, don't don't dismiss this next segment.
It might be bigger than the big stories in the
press box for reasons that will be self explanatory. Next

(09:40):
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Good Mornings in the Little Coat to another morning show
with's Don Scott Damn, a true continental man. That's Jose.
Jose's still wearing the bright summer colors. You wear those

(10:27):
throughout the fall and winter. Two boy, does the wardrobe
change at all for the colder temperatures. Just jackets and
just that's it. You layer up. You have about five
or six jackets. Yep, got it at one time? Oh yeah,
at once. Cannot wait my own michelin man right here.
That's gonna be awesome. This is a post by Paul Gardner,

(10:50):
and some of this is just really handily put together.
And these are things that I taught in my apologetics class.
Although there's in here that goes deeper than anything I've
known before. But I used to teach an apologetics class
with the church I pastored, and I really enjoyed the
teaching component of vocational ministry. But in this piece, John

(11:19):
Gardner writes about the two reasons for bold faith in
Jesus as God's Son. And this is I think as
important as ever because of what the Holy Spirit's doing
in our country right now. Yes, there's resistance, there always is,

(11:42):
there always will be, But there there is opportunity here.
Charlie Kirk's assassination has opened people's eyes. There will still
be people that slander and mock and ridicule and lie

(12:04):
about Charlie, just as they did and do about Jesus.
But in here he points to the recent authentication of
the Shroud of Turin, and then he gets into the probability,

(12:24):
the odds that are found in prophecy. Now that's an
area that I feel real comfortable talking about. Now. While
I have been a student of the Shroud of Turin
and aware of it and have been fascinated by that
story for decades, what has just come out, And yes,
this is part of an interview Tucker Carlson did with

(12:46):
a doctor Robert Harrington. Doctor Harrington, a renowned skeptic and scientist,
dropped the bomb of bomb on the scientific and skeptic
community when he announced his conversion to Christianity as a

(13:07):
result of his investigation into the Shroud of Turin. Let
me quote from the article of Newsmax that talks about it.
Doctor Harrington embarked on his study of the Shroud, intending
to debunk its authenticity. However, as he dealt deeper into analysis,

(13:27):
employing cutting edge technology and methodologies, he encountered findings that
challenged his scientific and personal beliefs. Harrington explained, I approached
this study with a critical mind, ready to expose what
I believed was a longstanding historical fabrication. But the evidence
we uncovered was so compelling that it left no room
for doubt. This is the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.

(13:51):
Now let me get into the specifics. He was part
of the Shroud of Turin Research Project, a study group
that included thirty five physicists, chemists, NASA image specialists, electrical engineers,
forensic pathologist and others to determine that the shroud's image
quote appears to be created by an oscillating strobe of

(14:15):
high intensity light coming from inside the body second. The
event happened in one fortieth of a billion of a second,
like a laser beam moving two point five billion watts
of electricity. To create a similar light, one would need

(14:37):
all the electric power generated on Earth at one time. Now,
Tucker Carlson's interview correction was with doctor Jeremiah Johnson, and
that's an interview that a lot of people are pushing towards.

(15:02):
But I've known for a few decades now that the
image on the shroud of Turn could not be could
not be in any way, shape or form, replicated by
anything that man knows of this at this time, let alone.
Then there are microscopic details from plants, botanical matter that

(15:27):
is consistent with Jerusalem and the surrounding area going back
two thousand years. And I'm not even getting into the
statistical odds as it relates to prophecy. I'll just give
you the short version. There are about three hundred prophecies
in the Old Testament about Jesus. If you grab eight

(15:52):
of them, where he was born a messenger preparing the
way entering Jerusalem on a donkey. The list goes on
and on, thirty pieces of silver for his betrayal. I
mean all of these things were predicted, eight of them.
The odds of those being fulfilled in one person are
one in ten to the seventeenth power. What that number

(16:14):
is as you take and you put seventeen zeros after it,
If you double that and go to sixteen sixteen of
the three hundred prophecies that Christ fulfilled, you are looking
at one in ten to the forty fifth power. That's

(16:37):
forty five zeros. Jesus fulfilled, not just eight, not just sixteen,
but all of them. People have said it this way.
It takes more faith to believe in the Big Bang
theory that we evolved from the primordial soup. I don't

(16:59):
have the faith for that. That there is more evidence
to support Christ as the son of God fulfilling prophecy
exactly as it was laid out hundreds and thousands of
years before his birth. Grab hold of these facts, grab

(17:20):
hold of these things, own them, memorize them, rejoice in them,
and share them. Twenty eight minutes past the hour told
you it was going to be good. Potentially bigger than
the bigs.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
Twenties, the breastspots.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Sen say of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's the morning show at Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Now down do. This is not to make light of
anybody that's impacted. I just know that very few people
will be The government shut down last night. By the way,

(18:17):
the rapture didn't happen last week either. I'm just saying yeah,
and this is the Schumer shutdown. You want to know
what this boils down to. First of all, as President
Trump said, Democrats, there are consequences to your actions here,

(18:38):
because we're going to have to cut some fur and
furlough some people that may not ever come back to
work here. See these shutdowns illustrate for most that we
didn't need all these people working because our world functioned
just fine. This is over medical care for illegal immigrants

(19:09):
and funding for NPR. Democrats insisted on one point five
trillion for illegal immigrant health care. They're calling it American
health care. They consider illegal immigrants Americans. This is all
word games Democrats. Some joined Republicans in this. Polling shows

(19:40):
that roughly two thirds of the country in total, Democrats
Republicans Independents completely think Democrats have lost their mind that
they're going to shut down the government. That they have
shut down the government over this. Medicare, social Security, Medicaid continues,

(20:04):
postal service, veterans, affair hospitals, clinics, immigration, border patrol, security, etc.
Just rocking along. There will be furloughs IRS, small business administration,
Housing programs may see a delay in rental assistance. This
may impact some. This is all over funding for illegal

(20:30):
health care, for illegal immigrant health care and NPR. Democrats
wanted funds for the rural health Care Fund. Republicans said,
we agree, and they restored funding. Democrats opposed it. What
you said you wanted it. It is the Schumer shut down.

(20:56):
In the midst of all of that, and Trump reaches
a deal with Pfizer Pfiser committing seventy billion dollars of
investment into America to reduce drug costs. The United States
is going to have what's called Most Favored Nation status
for costs, meaning we will finally be paying what other

(21:20):
countries are paying, at least with Pfizer drugs. Some of
the most important and most popular drugs are going to
be dramatically dropping in price, but here's the big one.
Pfiser will be moving drug manufacturing back to America. This

(21:43):
is vital. That's the important part of this. Now I'm
not going to kid myself. Pfiser is doing a rehabilitation
tour here. Pfizer has lost a tremendous amount of credibility
through and then we played some of it at the

(22:07):
end of the show yesterday the third hour. Pete Hegxith
Secretary of Defense, fat generals, low standards, gender delusions, they're gone.
We'll get more into that as the show unfolds. Forty
one minutes past the hour. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Quote Pete Hexath. This administration. He gathered all of the
leadership of the United States Military apparatus to Quantico. This
administration has done a great deal from day one to
remove the social justice, politically correct, toxic ideological garbage that
had infected our department. To rip out the politics. No

(23:00):
more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no more
climate worship, no more climate change worship, no more division
distraction or gender delusions, no more debris. Said before we'll
say again, we are done with that bleep. He used
the SHD word. As history teaches us, the only people

(23:28):
who actually deserve peace are those willing to wage war
to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous.
If the Secretary of War can go do regular hard PT,
so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's
tiring to look out at combat formations or really any

(23:49):
formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to
see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the
Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world.
It's a bad look. It's bad and it's not who
we are. Whether you're an airborne ranger or a chair
born ranger, a brand new private or a four star general,

(24:12):
you need to meet the height and weight standards and
pass your PT test. So each member will have to
pass too physical training tests per year while meeting height
and weight requirements. There you go, he said. He additionally said,

(24:35):
if this hurts your heart where we're going, feel free
to resign. We would thank you for your years of
service to this country and thank you for leaving. He's
not going to tolerate any subversiveness. And this is why

(24:55):
it is so important I said this yesterday, to have
continuity in the White ho following Donald Trump. We need
people that will keep Pete Hegseath in his chair as
Secretary of Defense. We're rebuilding our military. Recruiting numbers are skyrocketing.
People want to be part of this military. Don't know

(25:24):
if you know it. A massive comet has entered our
solar system, although one one scientist, Avi Loeb, claims the
comet could be an artifact of alien technology because it
weighs more than thirty three billion tons and is three

(25:47):
point one miles across. It's big comet. They discovered it
entering our solar system earlier this month. Next week it's moving.
Next week it'll pass within one hundred and sixty seven
million miles of Mars orbit, coming close to both Jupiter

(26:10):
and Venus. So just something they're keeping an eye on.
They're calling it three I Atlas Atlas forty six minutes
past the hour, if so many good stories.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Today the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I haven't gotten to this story until today. And now
if you've been listening to the show. You know, we've
been following good at doing Bug and Hut.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
To bring bring refugee supplies an aid to CASA because
because I mean even people would dare to stop it.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, Greta Thunberg, who is one of the many sickophants
of al Gore's cult known as global Warming, the global
warming cult, maybe they'll move to you know, Jonestown and

(27:36):
Guyana I don't know. She's been part of this effort
to bring supplies through the Israeli blockades to Gaza. Keeping
in mind that that Israel has been bringing and the
world has been sending all kinds of aid into Gaza.

(27:57):
Hamas has been stealing as much of it as it can,
keeping it for itself, selling it on the black market
to buy arms. But now we get to this, I'm
just gonna read the article Greta Thuneberg's flotilla mutinies after
queer activist joins cause. See Greta and the other lefties

(28:21):
that are part of it have just learned a lesson
local coordinator abandoned ship. We were lied to about the
identity of some participants. A single queer activist has thrown
Greta Thunberg's Gaza bound flotilla into disarray, with several participants
blasting the group's leaders and at least one coordinator ditching
it entirely. The beleaguered Global Sumud flotilla aims to bypass

(28:45):
these reels blockade deliver aid to Gaza, but when the
self described queer activist Safe Ayadi joined the effort, Khalid Boujiamaya,
the Tunisian coordinator for the flotilla, resigned. We were lied
to about the identity of some of the participants at
the forefront of the flotilla. He went on to say,

(29:07):
I accused the organizers of hiding this aspect from us.
And then there's a litany of quotes from people named
television anchors from Tunisia, organizers in Tunisia that are just
blistering the organization that Thuneberg is part of. Though she's saying,
now I am not on the board of directors, I'm

(29:28):
merely a volunteer, and what else she's a organizer. Well,
here's what they forgot to take into account. Tunisia, where
this was pause this flotilla was at is a Muslim nation,

(29:52):
and I don't know if you've checked in lately, But
Islamis don't have high tolerance for gays, like they have
no tolerance for it, Like they take gays and lesbians
and tie them and take them to the top of
buildings and drop them off off of high rises. I'm

(30:17):
not saying that's the thing to do. I'm pointing out
that these lefties just got a lesson in the realities
of working with Islamis. They're all upset because Palestine was
supposed to be the cause. We weren't supposed to be
distracting and hurting with these these immoral things, these things

(30:37):
that are socially and religiously wrong. I'm paraphrasing their quotes.
Being queer activists means that you're violating societal values and
putting me, my children, my relatives in a situation where
we reject that's that's I mean. I'm just saying it's

(31:01):
funny to me. And here's what you don't hear. You
don't hear Greta going how to deal you to the Tunisians.
You don't hear that sniveling little brat wrinkling up her
nose and pointing fingers at the Muslims for their faith.
Now do you come back some intel on the shutdown.

(31:26):
We'll get to that, but first what happened in Portland
last night that might be worth your interest. So many

(31:50):
things to talk about. Good morning, ruminators, Welcome to the
second hour of the audio magazine we call Common Sense Amplified.
You call the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Ose.
I'm Preston J. D. Johnson. We'll join us next hour
from the Talent Training Group, our Personal Defense segment. We've
had quite a number of things happened since we had

(32:12):
Charlie on last month. We had the shooting of Charlie Kirk,
We've had the shooting at a Michigan Mormon church, We've
had the shooting at ice facilities, and then we have
the continued violence that just happens. And so we'll discuss

(32:37):
all of that and try to help you digest what's
happened and what if anything, can be learned for you
and I on the subject of violence. Portland has been
a train wreck for years now. For all of you
listeners in Tallahassee, do not forget what I'm about to

(33:04):
tell you. This all started in Portland when they went
with socialists and progressives to run the city this is
what awaits you. For two straight election cycles, the Progressives

(33:28):
in the capital City of Florida have attempted to wrestle
control of the city Council from Democrats. This is democrats
versus Democrats. But the Progressives are an extremist, unreasonable, power
hungry group. They hate the police. They've said it, They've

(33:52):
accused police of murder when police have been proven time
and time again of having used justified force in circumstances.
But I won't waste time on that. I'll merely point
out Portland is a snapshot of what the capital city
of Florida can become if we don't get more people

(34:16):
awakened in this community. Last night, independent reporter Nick Shirley
was in Portland during a demonstration. Clantifa was out masked
as always as the cowards that they are. That's why

(34:40):
I call them Clantifa. They're not Antifa, they're Clantifa. They're cowards,
just like the clan. And so Nick Shirley is an
independent reporter. He posts on YouTube and a mass man
belonging to the Clantifa group storms up to him, probably

(35:03):
knowing who he is, saying get the bleep out of here.
He said, what are you doing. I didn't do anything.
The aggressor kept advancing, driving Shirley backward into the street,
blocking him for moving freely. You come back, I'm going
to bleeping smoke you bro. That, by the way, is
street term for kill? Really, Shirley replied. The agitator kept

(35:29):
pressing forward, threatening to smash Shirley's camera as he tried
to push him away. Shirley stood his ground, said he
had every right to be there. And then Shirley said this.
You have DHS watching you right there. They are lasered
on you. You have a sniper lasered on you right now.

(35:51):
The protester said, I don't give a bleep. But that's
when other protesters showed up, other members of Clantifa. You see,
Trump has placed members of the National Guard, the Oregon

(36:13):
National Guard, Department of Homeland Security to stop the attacks
on ice and to stop the violence in downtown Portland
and lo and behold. While this guy was threatening this reporter,
a sniper from DHS was on top of a building
and his laser was on that man's chest and it

(36:37):
wasn't moving. He deployed two hundred members of the organ
National Guard. Here's the point when will Portland say enough?
When will Portland citizens, residents say enough this our city

(36:58):
has become a military zone because of the city council,
because of Clantifa, because of these mostly peaceful demonstrations. When
will people say enough? And all I'm pointing out here
at this this very first story of the hour is
this is the fate that awaits cities, communities, counties that

(37:22):
don't pay attention to who they're electing. Ten past the hour,
This Morning Show with Preston Scott Harly Troy Aikman having

(37:50):
kittens over the football game he broadcasts with Joe Buck
the other night, Monday Night Football, the Broncos beat the Bengals,
Bengals without they're starting quarterback. But it was twenty eight
to three. But there were twenty two penalties. Eighteen penalties
were accepted eighteen out of twenty two twenty two penal

(38:12):
twenty two flags. Aikman was correct in pointing out, yeah,
it's a good call, but it totally it didn't affect
the play, didn't It needed to be just picked up.
And there's the problem. There are penalties being called in
football games that are just absurd, like, oh, you've got

(38:38):
to be kidding me. And then there are plays that
are not called that are like, oh, you got to
be kidding me. Every game it's it's just it's hilarity
and it kills the flow of the game. All the penalties.
Oh my gosh. But you know that's what you get.
I was laughing at the WNBA. They're all upset because

(39:00):
they're their league is not getting the respect it says
it deserves. It's like, you guys, you guys have bitten
the hand that feeds you. You know, you've literally had
no league until Caitlyn Clark showed up. Now Caitlyn's injured,

(39:23):
and you know, the Indiana team that she played for
is out of the playoffs. They made the semi finals.
That's good for them, but it's like, who's gonna watch.
No one watches. They only watch if Caitlyn's playing. I mean, really,
the ratings are terrible. It's been kept afloat by the
NBA and I don't know what these I mean. If

(39:49):
I had a daughter play in the NBA, Ha'd say,
you are fortunate to have a place to play and
to make any money, Well, players have to go to
Russia to make more money. Okay, it's called the free market.
You can't make people like something that they inherently don't like.

(40:12):
Department of Education is going to be allowed to continue
to cut jobs. Appeel's Court ruled that a previous lower
court ruling was fault faulty, was an affront to a
Supreme Court ruling. And so the Department of Education is
going to continue laying off workers. They're going to keep
cutting staff. So far, two hundred and fifty nine employees

(40:37):
accepted an offer of eight months a paid administrative leave.
Three hundred and thirteen accepted a twenty five thousand dollars
lump sum. And then step down. There you go. We
are and I know that this touches people. We hear
calls during what's the beef? I get emails. I know

(40:58):
this touches people. The government it's too big. Just is
has to be cut down. There's there's so many things
that have to I don't it's not going to be
fixed in my lifetime. But anyway, sixteen past the hour,

(41:19):
when we come back a monument to Obama sentencing this
week for p did he? The question is did he? Sorry?

(41:48):
Daily Caller John loftis editor Too Big to Fail monument
to Obama's I'm sorry, Obama's ego, not Obama, Obama's ego
slowly imploating bailout on the horizon. Listen to this. This
is so emblematic of the left. Nineteen acres on the

(42:12):
south side of Chicago, they start building this monstrosity, and
I mean it is a monstrosity, but the presence of
it caused property values in the area to spike, which
means rent and home prices have exploded, which is hurting

(42:36):
people that live on the South side. The cost of
the project original estimate of three hundred million dollars for
his what presidential library whatever they want to call it,
to now at least eight hundred and fifty million, nearly

(42:58):
one billion dollars. In twenty seventeen, the budget clocked in
at five million, later to seven sorry, five hundred million,
then later seven hundred million. Now it's eight point fifty.
So what they did is the Obama Foundation entered into

(43:22):
an agreement with the City of Chicago to establish an
endowment designed to generate sufficient interest every year to fund
operations without depleting the principle leaving taxpayers off the hook.
See the idea here is they They're going to raise
and deposit this massive sum of money to fund its operations,

(43:46):
so the city will never have to dip into its
pockets or tax citizens to pay for the Obama operation
the project. During the deliberations, they settled on a four
one hundred and seventy million dollar deposit. Listen, now this
is important. Deposit four hundred and seventy million. That money

(44:08):
is untouched. The interest off of it would then fund
the operation. Does that make sense? That's what an endowment is.
An endowment puts money in and whatever the cause is
is funded by the interest on that endowment. The first
year operating costs of the library were projected to reach

(44:29):
forty million dollars, according to documents in twenty twenty one.
The estimate suggests an endowment ranging between eight hundred million
and one billion dollars to keep operations afloat. They said

(44:51):
it needed four hundred and seventy million. Actual is eight
hundred million to one billion on to But here's where
it gets really good. That original four hundred and seventy
million dollar endowment. Guess what they have so far? Guess

(45:12):
how much the Obama Foundation is raised one million dollars
roughly zero point two percent of what was pledged, and

(45:32):
that deposit was made in twenty twenty one, so over
the last four years they have not raised one dime.
So they have this massive building, it's not finished. They
have an operational budget of at least forty plus million

(45:55):
a year. They pledged an endowment four hundred and seventy million,
but it needs to be eight hundred to million to
one billion, and they have one million dollars in the
bank one million. This, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly how

(46:17):
the left works. They make all these promises and they
leave taxpayers holding the bill. It's like going out to
dinner with a bunch of people and they stiff the waitress.

(46:37):
They insist on, you know, separate checks, and then they
stiff the waitress and the and the good person among
the group ends up paying for the tip to not
embarrass the whole group. In this case, this is a
monument to Obama's ego. And what's fascinating to me is

(46:59):
Obama's spend how much time in Chicago dealing with black
on black crime when he was president? How much time?
How about none? None? And yet we're going to honor
him with a monument that the city can't afford. Now,
what's going to happen? Now, what's going to happen to
the taxpayers? Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Big Stories

(47:23):
in the press Box. Next on the Morning.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Show, Morning Show with Preston Scott, Hello.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Hello, anybody ho hiy? On News Radio one hundred point seven. DOUBUFLA.

(47:55):
We've got to shut down? Will you notice? Probably not.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I'm not belittling the work that people do that are
going to be impacted by this. I think though, that
these shutdowns do illustrate the largesse of government. Just to
put your mind at ease, here's what's not going to
be impacted. Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, Postal Service, veterans affairs,

(48:28):
hospitals and clinics, Immigration, border patrol, security activities, among others.
There may be some furloughs in the IRS, small business administration,
housing programs may see delays in rental assistance. But you know,
and yeah, there will be some private sector pinch. And

(48:52):
I know what some people might be thinking, Well, you
say pinch, just like when they say, oh, this will
just pinch when they give you a shot and it
hurts like a dickens. I get it. Now, this will
just pinch a little bit.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
And wow, I know.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
It's subjected to a certain extent, right, but I want
you to understand what this was about. The Democrats wanted
one point five trillion for illegal alien health care and
refunding of National Public Radio refunding, not refund refunding. They wanted.

(49:33):
They wanted money back. No, Nope, NBR can exist like
the rest of us in the radio world. We don't
get your tax dollars. We're not funded by by government.
We're if the government buys advertising for some reason. Most

(49:56):
of the time it's covered by PSAs. But if for
some reason the government buys something, they buy it from
US and anybody else. But that seldom happens. Doesn't happen often.
NPR is funded, and it leaves us at a massive

(50:23):
disadvantage to have NPR radio stations in the Nielsen ratings
competing against us. But they're funded with my tax dollars,
excuse me. And the programming is one sided. And it's
really a shame because there used to be some really
fun shows on NPR, used to be. They don't exist

(50:44):
anymore because it's gone completely woke and it's gone completely
left the entertainment value diminished. You know, I have to
live in the free market world. We compete, and you know,
I'm grateful that we have advertisers and businesses that support

(51:06):
what we do. But we have advertisers and businesses that
don't really care what I do. They just care that
we have a lot of people that listen. They're in
the market, they want their their messaging herd. Democrats have
shut down the government because they want illegals to have

(51:27):
health care on the taxpayer expense, and they want NPR
to have funding. Really, those are the hills you're dying on. Okay,
it's the Schumer shutdown. Some Democrats abandon ship on the

(51:49):
on the on the Democrat Plank platform on this and
came over to the Republicans and said, no, we need
to keep the government running. They know this is not
This is not going to be blamed on Trump. Initial
polling said it would. It's not now because people now
know why President has announced a deal with Pfizer to
lower the cost of prescription drugs at least from Pfizer,

(52:12):
Pfizer investing seventy billion in American manufacturing of their products. Now,
this is a little bit of the Peiser Reputation Repair Tour.
Pfizer's doing everything possible to try to repair the damage
it caused during COVID to its reputation. I will never

(52:33):
forget it. But here's what's important. It's not so much
that drug prices will come down. That's important, But what's
more important is that manufacturing of drugs will expand here
in America. If you recall that was the problem during COVID,
that there were medicines not available because they came from China.

(52:57):
That is a huge underscored part of this deal. And
then Pete Headseth Hegsith, the Secretary of Defense, just reminded
us of why he is the Secretary of Defense. He
is making things right in the military. Standards will return
to what they used to be. If women can meet

(53:21):
those standards, terrific. If they can't, just like there are
weak men out there, then that's not the job for them.
Forty one minutes after the hour. JD. Johnson coming up
at the.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Top of the hour, except he has a little more
hair The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
There are there are things that defy common sense that
you just can't get your brain around. For example, Tommy
Tuberville stepping down from the US Senate. Eventually he wants
to be the governor of Alabama. Apparently Paul Finbaum and

(54:18):
that his name, the guy with ESPN that hates anything
but Alabama and SEC football. He allegedly is going to
run for the US Senate to replace Tommy Tuberville. Now
will Bruce Pearl, the Auburn basketball coach who is resigned,

(54:40):
Is he going to get in the race? That would
be interesting. But then you come across a story like
this that was shared with me by a listener. Let
me set the scene here, Kentucky and we are at

(55:01):
the Kentucky Reptile Zoo back in May Powell County. Paramedic
Eddie Barnes and another team member responded to a call
the zoo's co director, A. James Harrison, suffered a bite
from a mamba. Barnes and his coworker transported Harrison to

(55:26):
the airport to a medical helicopter. However, Harrison revealed that
he had his own anti venom that he brought along
for the ride. Harrison needed the drug to avoid dying,
said the paramedic Barnes. He said, the first part of
the stage is paralysis, the second part is respiratory arrest.

(55:48):
Third part is cardiac arrest. He said, I'm gonna die.
Barnes tried to call a supervisor but got no answer.
Paramedic reached out to Clark Regional Medical Center. The doctor
gave him permission to administer the anti venom to Harrison.

(56:09):
But in Kentucky, only wilderness paramedics are authorized to administer
the drug, and so Barnes and his fellow paramedic are
facing loss of license because they saved the man's life.

(56:31):
Defies common sense, But yet California now will let doctors
anonymously mail abortion medication under a new law signed by
Gavin Newsom aimed at protecting healthcare providers and patients from
legal or disciplinary risks. Excuse me, a state cannot. I'm

(57:04):
sorry that this will be found to be illegal on
every level possible. A doctor can never act anonymously. Ever,
that cannot be allowed. But yet here you go California
once again, and that guy wants to be president. Forty

(57:28):
six minutes past the hour, we come back. Another exciting
addition of No Way Jose Morning Show with Preston Scott
does Mother No You were her dre.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
On News Radio one hundred point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Yeah, we look forward to it. Another edition of no
Way Jose, I'll a wait. Breaking news in the WFLA newsroom.
We interrupt our programming for.

Speaker 4 (58:18):
Well, if you read something insane, I probably did it.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
I'm fond of whod the block is.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
Go ahead and google my name.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Now there is no man to the sins I have
committed and we all feel better. Way we have somebody.
Let me introduce you to what, on most occasions might
be considered a Florida Man apprentice. But no, no, We're
going to bestow Florida Man honors to young Cadence Spate

(58:54):
at the at the ripe young age of seventeen. If
the name sell familiar, it's because we all got an
Amber alert about a seventeen year old boy that was
kidnapped by four Mexicans. Remember that four Hispanics kidnapped him.

(59:16):
You see, things started to unravel for young Caden when
he texted his family that he had been abducted by
four mysterious Hispanic men in a van. But yet his
phone was found with his truck and other things. How

(59:43):
is this? How was he texting that he would had
been abducted? But then his phone was found left behind.
Here's what Cayden did. I guess things in Danelle and
Florida are a little slow sometimes, and Kayden decided to
spice up his week. So he tells his family he's

(01:00:06):
been taken, went bear grills, got himself a tent, sleeping bag,
a bicycle at Walmart. Of course, with the Amber alert,
Sheriff's office had to do its job right, so there's

(01:00:26):
this massive manhunt underway. But he decided he needed to
do one thing more. So you know what he did.
He shot himself in the leg. Yeah, the entire thing
was made up, Sheriff Billy Woods. The initial details were

(01:00:49):
completely made up. We just spent thousands of dollars and
man hours because Junior wanted to live action role play
CSI Florida. That's a quote from the sheriff. Will he
face charges. It's not off the table, according to the sheriff.
And of course mom and dad, being the good parents

(01:01:10):
they are, will not now let detectives talk to him.
There's a story I've got here. It says nothing says
good parenting like shielding your son after he fakes a kidnapping,
shoots himself and sets off a county wide, county wide,
statewide panic. Bravo parenting goals achieved. Cayden spaate. You know,

(01:01:35):
I got to thinking about this. This is not any different.
It's just in the basic storyline, except it's not quite
as severe as the accusations made against the Duke lacrosse

(01:01:55):
team back in the day, when a young lady who
happened to be black that she had been gang raped
by the lacrosse team. When nothing of the kind happened,
she admitted that she lied. Those guys got their lives ruined.
In this case, at least it wasn't a specific person,
but it could have been. You're saying for hispanics in

(01:02:18):
a van. How generic is that? You could say that? Well,
that that's maybe worse because it's a broader accusation. Either way,
it's the same horrible lie. And that, my friends, is
a Florida man. If I've ever seen the story, what

(01:02:43):
a dufus? Now? That child needs some counseling. What is
going on in his life that he feels felt like
he needed that level of attention And at what point
did he not think he was going to get found out?
I mean, is he doing drugs? JD. Johnson's with me next,

(01:03:20):
and away we go into the third hour of the
morning show with press' Sky. Good morning friends, October first.
I cannot believe that we are in the home stretch
of twenty twenty five already. It really is hard to
get my brain around it. That's Jose and Studio one A.
I'm here in Studio one B, and I am joined
by co founder, co host of All Things Taling Ladies

(01:03:43):
and Gentlemen. He is JD. Johnson. Hello, good morning. How
are you.

Speaker 6 (01:03:46):
I'm great? How about you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
I'm doing all right, you know, I mean, he.

Speaker 7 (01:03:52):
Ain't been kidnapped in the Oh my gosh, somebody'd still
be beating me. I'm fifty seven years old and somebody
would still be whooping on me if I've done something
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
I can't even conceive of doing something like that. I mean,
I go back to even when I was young and stupid.
I wasn't that stupid anyway. For those of you that
do not do not know, we talk personal defense once
a month here on the program, but we've been doing
it for years, often twice a month, and JD. You

(01:04:25):
and I haven't chatted since the events of September tenth,
and it really it. It is very difficult to this
moment to get my brain around the fact that Charlie
Kirk was assassinated. Let me first ask what was your
reaction when you heard.

Speaker 7 (01:04:42):
Well, I got I got a tics about it happening,
so I got on the immediately, got on the on
the internet, and you know, it's just it's mind boggling
to me.

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
That it happened.

Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
But I guess that's the world we live in today.
There's a movie out there that I really I think
the older I get, the more I relate to it. It's
gone No Country for Old Men. And it was the
sheriff that just had you know, had seen all manner
of things in his career and in his life, and
he's really had a hard time wrapping his head around

(01:05:23):
the violence in the world we live in today. And
I kind of feel that a lot lately.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
When you, I mean, we step away a few days,
we get some information. Obviously, the videos out there and
there's all kinds of doctored videos now that are out there.
We've talked about that he's not the president of the
United States, but Charlie lived in a world where bulletproof

(01:05:52):
vests were commonplace. He wasn't wearing one that day, knowing
on his staff was.

Speaker 6 (01:06:00):
What they wouldn't have helped.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
It wouldn't have that shot, No, because it was above
the torso. Right.

Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
Not only that, is that any any ballistic vest that
you can wear that is soft, soft enough, small enough,
thin enough to wear under a T shirt where you
don't look like a teenage mutant ninja turtle right, Okay,
is not going to stop a high powered rifle. It's
not designed to. The soft body armor easily defeated by small,

(01:06:33):
high velocity projectiles. They're designed to stop pistols and shotguns,
and they're end at the story. Rifle plates. Body armor
are thick, heavy, and either ceramic composite material or steel.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
Obviously the fault lies with the person who committed this act. Yes,
At the same time, I can't help but step back
and think where no lessons learned from Butler? The high
ground The high ground that I mean I immediately thought about.
They've got all the video showing this young man on

(01:07:13):
the security system. JD tell us, if I'm not mistaken,
you worked with FSU police, right, Yes, and while it
was then and this is now and things have probably
changed somewhat. Do they have a place where all of
those cameras feed and there are monitors that you can
look at or not.

Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
I have no idea nowadays the technology since I've since
I've been even I've been retired for twelve years now,
so technology has come a long way. Sure, And I
know that there are live feed camera systems in operation
in Tallahassee just for general everyday things, so that's.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
Monitored by somebody.

Speaker 7 (01:07:56):
I don't know about campus, but I do know that
I had an experience one time to be part of
the security detail for Lewis. Ferricn came and spoke at FSU.
Well he's a divisive guy. Yes, they are considered by
most to be a divisive person. And we locked down

(01:08:16):
every building, searched every building, went on physically went to
every rooftop and posted people to keep somebody from accessing
a building and gaining the high ground. That's security protocol
one oh one.

Speaker 6 (01:08:31):
I mean it doesn't that's not changed.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
I want to pick up right there. We got more
to talk about with Jad Johnson of the Talent Training Group.
It's our personal defense segment. There's a lot of stories
in the news, and we're going to try to touch
on them here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
See from the spin, don't know what to believe?

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Clear the fog.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
I don't quite know how to frame our discussion here today.
I just see we were just talking in the break
you know, whether they have a little bit of a
command center where they have all those feeds that someone
can be saying, hey, there's somebody on that roof, Tell
Charlie to hold on until we go send somebody up
there to check it out, or turning Point USA, even

(01:09:35):
flying drones above the facilities if they don't have the
adequate staffing. And I'm not faulting the university, even though
it's the biggest university in the state of Utah by capacity.
But at the same time, boy, what would you say
is a lesson or lessons to learn from this?

Speaker 7 (01:09:56):
You know, we have to do a better job, as
law enforcement has to do a better job. Security experts
have to do a better job whoever's in charge of security,
especially for and and here's the thing, it's not just
a it's not just Charlie Kirk, It's it's anybody. There's

(01:10:16):
people that will do bad things like that just to
be famous in today's.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
World, right.

Speaker 7 (01:10:21):
You know, that's that's a big part of the school shooters,
the active shooter people. They're looking for notoriety or notorious, reputation,
whatever you however you want to call it. I mean,
they're they're looking A lot of them are just simply
looking for that to go down in history and trying
to make their mark on the world. And you know, uh,

(01:10:44):
infamous is part of being famous. You can have infamous,
you can have famous. Uh, that's what they're looking for.
They're in their really messed up mind.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
So we've come away from this situation with just a
you know, hopefully people take more seriously the nature of
the world we're living in now, because one thing is
not arguable. This violence is being celebrated by people on
one side of the political aisle. Unfortunately, when we see
this violence happen to in certain circumstances, nobody on my side,

(01:11:21):
nobody that I know of that thinks, like me, we
don't celebrate the death of anybody like this. Ever, No,
it doesn't matter whether we ideologically think they're nuts. It's wrong,
it's evil, But there's a side that celebrates which tells
me JD. That there is a likelihood of this type
of violence happening again.

Speaker 7 (01:11:40):
Oh, absolutely, absolutely, to anybody willing to step out on
the public stage, to anybody, not just necessarily people representing
the right or you know, people representing the left or whatever,
just anybody willing to step out on the public stage
that is a public figure that somebody knows a lot

(01:12:02):
or a lot of people know who they are.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
I'm reminded of the line from the movie In the
Line of Fire, which was about that. It was about
an assassin that used to work for the government that
decided he was going to end the life of a president.
He said, you cannot stop me, because all that's required
is for me to be willing to lose my life.
And I'm willing to do that, And that's there is
there's some ton in that ton of truth to that

(01:12:25):
if I'm willing to you know, if I'm willing to
embark on a suicide mission, somebody's going to have to
know that I'm leaving the house, and that's my intentions
when I go, Because between there and the end, if
you don't know what's coming.

Speaker 7 (01:12:42):
I've got weeks, months, days, hours to make all of
this happen and to adjust my plan. And unfortunately, like
you said, evil exists, and there's people willing to do
that kind of stuff just to get their name in
the history book.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
When we come back, we're going to talk about what
happened in dear Born, Michigan, because that was simple hate
for one particular religious sect. And what can business is
what can churches learn from this, if anything? Next with JD.
Johnson of the Talent Training Group. Twenty one minutes past

(01:13:29):
the hour with J. D. Johnson of the Talent Training Group.
Remember remember I can say that you can get yourself
signed up for some great training. Head to the Range.
Just go to talentrange dot com and they have all
kinds of classes where I hope you take this stuff
seriously because it's getting a little bit weird out there.
There are more and more people that are irrational to me,

(01:13:50):
JD than at any time in my lifetime. That said,
the church in Dearborn, to me, it's irrelevant what kind
of church it was. It doesn't matter whether it was
a mo whether it was a synagogue, whether it was
a Mormon church or you know a quote, you know,
Protestant Church, Catholic church. It was evil. What happens, though,

(01:14:10):
is this guy drives a truck into the building, shooter
jumps out, starts unloading his rifle, and then proceeds to
go around and set the church on fire using gas
as an accelerant. Take this, this stream of what happened
a part and tell us what could have been done
maybe to prevent it.

Speaker 7 (01:14:30):
Well, I think there were some things on the front end.
You had a guy that was making a whole lot
of reckless statements to a whole lot of people about
hating Mormons. So we have to we have to look
at those things. When you get somebody doing stuff that
and there's a lot of states that have enacted then
I know that a lot of people don't light red
flag laws. You know they're controversial because they really hasn't

(01:14:52):
done anything until he does something. But it's worth going
and talking to somebody and going, you know, why are
you making these statements?

Speaker 6 (01:14:58):
What are your intentions?

Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
May nothing come of that, you it may zero, zero
may come of that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
But let me just pause for a second. We've got
time on our side here for a little bit. Let's
say that you know, law enforcement realizes this guy's making
a lot of statements. It's not illegal to say you
don't like people, all right, but at that point, would
it be wise then to go to each of the
Mormon churches in the area say something and then say,

(01:15:25):
maybe you need to be thinking about your security around
your property.

Speaker 7 (01:15:29):
Absolutely, that's that's that's intel, and that's something that needs
to be passed along.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
That need.

Speaker 7 (01:15:34):
Everybody needs to be on the same page and say, hey,
you know this guy is saying making these statements and you.

Speaker 6 (01:15:40):
Need to be aware of that because you're the target.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:15:45):
So yeah, that's first and foremost. Secondly, you know we've
we've talked about we've gone to churches all over the area,
yes you have and tried to you know, try to
help them come up with their plan. And it's and
security plan. And folks, you got to get your head

(01:16:05):
out of the hand to start with, and multiple layers.
You know, there was a and I don't remember exactly
where it happened, but it was also one I think
it might have also been in Michigan where recently where
a guy pulls up in his truck and people were
paying attention outside Layer one, you know, Layer one of
the security was out people outside, and they stopped that

(01:16:26):
one engaged him in the parking lot, and it ended
before it ever started.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
I think a deacon in the church ran him down
with his truck.

Speaker 7 (01:16:33):
It's correct, exactly, it was, but at least somebody was
outside and paying attention, right, And and you know, it's
it's all of this stuff when you're I see the
glazed overlooking some eyes when I go and have these
discussions sometime. And because everybody lives in the that would
never happen here.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Buble.

Speaker 7 (01:16:54):
Yeah, that that's that bubble. And churches have always been
a safe play. He's a you know, a place to
go and you're not. You hate to think about and
you it's hard to think about evil existing when you're
inside the church, you know, because it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:10):
Does as we cast it out right exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:17:13):
And uh, you know, and you that's not why you're there,
but you have to think that way.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Would it be safe to say that if they had security,
I don't. I tend to think they probably didn't. But
if they had it, you can fairly say it wasn't sufficient.

Speaker 7 (01:17:30):
It wasn't adequate whatever it was for because there were
opportunities to intervene the moment the guy runs the truck into.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
The building, weren't there absolutely, So talk me through that.

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
So you got a guy driving a truck into a
church building, you there is It's not like the parking
lot ended and three feet away was the building. Probably,
I'm assuming you know there's there's there's some open ground
in between pretty much every church I've ever been to.
So if you got outside people and you see a
guy start accelerating, because I'm sure he didn't into the
building it two miles an hour or five miles an hour,

(01:18:03):
he probably got a head run and start all right, Well,
get out of the way, wait till he stops, and
be ready to engage. Then you know, immediately want to
let him out of the truck at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
At that point, I mean, I don't think I'm picking
at this to say if he's got a long gun,
he can't just wield that inside the cab of his truck.
He's got to get out of the vehicle.

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
Well, first of all, the first weapon involved in this
is the vehicle, right, And there's nothing against the law
about shooting at someone in a vehicle if they are
trying to run you over, right, that is a seven
thousand pound weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
Yeah, okay, and.

Speaker 7 (01:18:43):
That's you know, we tell people that now shooting shooting
at someone because they made you mad and road rage
is different.

Speaker 6 (01:18:49):
But they're trying to run you over.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
They're using their weapon of opportunity, which is that vehicle
that they're operating. So there's no reason if they had
outside security, either it failed miserably somebody and paying attention,
or it wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
But his weapon of choice was a long gun and
he would have to get out of the vehicle to
deploy it. Absolutely, And that was the opportunity.

Speaker 7 (01:19:10):
There's your second, that's your second opportunity. First opportunities to
engage before sure, second opportunity is as he's exiting the truck,
and third opportunity is when he's getting the gas cans.
Because I'm sure he didn't jump out of the car
with gas can in one hand and a rifle and
the other. Yeah, you know, I mean, so you can
you stop it, if you can mitigate it. If you

(01:19:30):
can't stop it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Friends, if this is all like Greek to you, this
is the reason why you try to get some consulting
with Charlie JD. And learn more about how to protect
your church or your office or what have you. Twenty
seven past the hour, More to come with JD Johnson
or the Talent Training Group talent range dot com. You're

(01:20:00):
surprised if you laugh, we suggest you use the restroom
before you listen. Or invested at thirty foot catheter. Yes,
I use it all the time. This is the Morning
Show with Preston Scott and we are back with j. D.

(01:20:24):
Johnson of the Talent Training Group. We're talking through the
things that have been in the news and it's sad
the number of things that have been in the news,
but it is what it is. Bit of a change
in recent weeks due to a court ruling, Florida is
now a truly constitutional carry state. What does that mean?

Speaker 7 (01:20:43):
Well, so the law that was passed earlier in the
year that took the license requirement away from concealed carry
put us in that a huge step into that direction.
They just wouldn't go all the way and say they
still want to to hold onto a little bit of
a little bit of authority and say you can carry

(01:21:04):
without a permit, but you have to carry this specific way. Okay,
that's what and the court came back the first District
Court of Appeals here in Tallahassee. There was a there
was a case from over in the Panhandle, I think Pensacola,
from several years ago, where a guy was arrested, had
a permit, but he was carrying openly and he got

(01:21:25):
arrested and.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
This wasn't an accidental exposure.

Speaker 6 (01:21:30):
The case is actually kind of funny. This week.

Speaker 7 (01:21:32):
He was standing on the street corner waving an American
flag on the fourth of July with openly carrying a pistol,
and he got arrested and got arrested, got arrested and charged,
got convicted or pled to it one or the other,
I don't remember exactly, but and then they appealed it,
and the appeals court said, now, if you if you're
going to allow conceal carry because of the history involved

(01:21:55):
with open carry, if you're going to allow conceal carry
with a permit or without a permit, you have to
allow open carry because the history of carrying a firearm
back in the day, you carried it openly for and
then there's words to a song for all the honest
world to see. So the history of open carry in

(01:22:17):
the country concealed carry is what your bad guys and
your gamblers did you know that was that don't want
anybody to know you've got a gun. The honest world
carried it for everybody to see, so and that's kind
of what the court used to base some of its
decision on. And rightfully, even though I don't personally open carry,

(01:22:38):
uh don't. I don't agree with the tactical there is
a tactical disadvantage to it. Regardless of what people think.
There is a tactical disadvantage out in public to carry
openly in my opinion, and my opinion's worth you know,
a couple of coffee maybe, But I don't like it.
I don't agree with it. It's not smart, especially for

(01:23:00):
people that have had zero Most people have had absolutely
zero weapon retention training, which law enforcement carries openly. They
have special security holsters that require two or three different
maneuvers on their part to draw the gun out that
make it difficult for somebody else that doesn't know how
their holster works, yeah, to draw, and they practice defensive

(01:23:22):
tactics on retaining that firem because they're always in the
potential for a let's just say discussion of ownership of
the gun that they bring to every situation they come to.
So but the court said, no, it's if you're going
to allow conceal carry, you have to allow open carry.
The Attorney General didn't, the State of Florida didn't contest it.

(01:23:46):
The governor wanted. Now, the Florida legislature has a whole lot.

Speaker 6 (01:23:50):
Of language to clean up in a bunch of the
gun laws.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Yeah they do, and they're going to try to limit
certain things, no doubt. But bottom line is there are
places you cannot carry even openly or concealed period.

Speaker 7 (01:24:03):
The places that you can't carry conceal legally, you certainly
can't carry open legally, you know. So the bars that
not the restaurant and or you can go to a
restaurant in order to drink, sitting in the restaurant section,
but you can't go to the bar.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
You can't carry any business. It's a private business. It says, no.

Speaker 7 (01:24:22):
Well, they have to tell you know, right, Yeah, yeah,
they have to say. And the biggest advice I can
give somebody, so he says, you can't have a gun
in here, and it's not your property, And they tell
you you can't have your gun in there, Just leave,
don't argue. Sorry, wrong business. I'll take my business elsewhere
and go about your way. Don't argue with them, because
if you start hanging around after you've been asked to leave,

(01:24:44):
that is the definition of trespassing. If you're trespassing with
a firearm, which makes it a felony. And if you
get convicted of that, all of your gun rights go away.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Yeah, think, think long and hard before you are argumentative
on this one. More to come with J D. Johnson next.
Wherever you may be.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
From Florida, Sunshine State to New York's forget New York.

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
Scratch that. New York's now hopeless.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
At least the city is. For the rest.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
We're your Morning Show, The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
A few minutes left in our personal defense segment with J. D.
Johnson of the Talent Training Group, Let's let's look at
everything that we've talked about here today. We've talked about
open carry. We've talked about circumstances where you need to
react and think about what's going on around you. How
are what are some practical ways to take this to
the range.

Speaker 7 (01:25:46):
Well, you know, everybody pretty much open carries at the
range is very probably.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
Can I can I stop you and ask her? Is
that smart? If you don't open carry, No, you sht.

Speaker 7 (01:25:58):
That you have to train for the You have to
train for the game you're gonna play.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
So if you're gonna be if you're just going to
the range to shoot paper targets and to plink a
little bit, cool, that's fine. But if you're doing it
for self defense purposes, train appropriately.

Speaker 7 (01:26:12):
Absolutely with the holster and the equipment that you're gonna use.
And you know, the gun you're gonna carry, the holster
you're gonna carry the way you're gonna carry it. That's
how you practice self defense. You don't you don't carry
a small pocket three A If you carry a small
pocket three eighty pistol every day in your front pocket, Uh,

(01:26:32):
you need to practice that way. You don't go to
the range with a full sized nine millimeter and outside
of the waist vand uh you know, kay tex holster
you there is some training value because every time you
pull the trigger and aim the aim the gun, pull
the trigger, you're you're learning things, right, you're practicing things.
It's just you know that kind of be like FSU

(01:26:54):
facing a passing a pocket passing quarterback this Saturday, and
their defense been working on stopping the wishbone all week,
you know, I mean that, That's what I'm talking about. Yeah,
it would be stupid for their for their defense to
practice stopping the wishbone offense when you've got to drop
back pastor that you're facing this Saturday.

Speaker 6 (01:27:13):
Makes sense?

Speaker 1 (01:27:13):
It does? Does it? Does it make sense to try
to artificially raise your heart rate a little bit before
you shoot?

Speaker 7 (01:27:20):
I say absolutely, you know, And that can be done
different ways safely, jumping jacks, jogging in place, that kind
of stuff. It's hard to artificially duplicate a true adrenaline dump,
of course, and all the other physiological changes. You virtually
cannot do that except by through stress and oculation and

(01:27:41):
force on force kind of kind of training.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
It's hard to duplicate that.

Speaker 7 (01:27:47):
And even then, if you to me, it's always been
with and I've done been in scenario training for for
years and years and years, and even with semunitions stuff
that the uns are real. It shoots a paint pellet
that that marks and hurts when it hits you. That's
as close as you can get to that. But even

(01:28:10):
then somewhere in the back of your mind, or at
least somewhere in the back of mind, was this ain't
gonna kill me if I mess up, or this is
not this is I'm still in a safe space here
where I'm not the risk of death or break great
bodily harm is negligible.

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):
Tell people about the basic conceal carry course that you
offer and what you do in it.

Speaker 7 (01:28:32):
Yeah, So we've been doing this for as long as
we've been around, which is becoming a long time now.
We've always done some type of force on force scenario
based training in our program. So our program, we go
over all the law stuff in the first half of
the day to keep you out of trouble. Then we

(01:28:53):
take you and teach you how to operate and shoot
somewhat accurately a handgun. We have a system call laser shot.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:29:01):
It's a it's a really nice expensive video simulator where
you're not you're not looking at a small TV screen.

Speaker 6 (01:29:08):
It's projecting on.

Speaker 7 (01:29:09):
The wall and the people you're real, the people you're
interacting with, are the same size as you are, so
you don't have all that and we can adjust the
program mid stream if we need to. But you're interacting
with a movie character and uh, and it tracks your shots.
It shows you where you hit or miss, and you

(01:29:30):
get a reaction from the bad guy, you know, depending
on what the instructor's doing. And that's for some people,
that's a very real experience. It just depends on It
just depends on the person and their background and all
that to to To somebody like me, it's not even
gonna get my heart rate up because I know it's
a movie.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
You know, my background is different.

Speaker 7 (01:29:53):
So we see some legitimate stressful reaction stress reactions out
of this, and when we do it, when we do those,
you got sometimes you have your friends or other people watching.
So at least you get the peer stress now, the
peer performance stress. If nothing else, learn more.

and get yourself trained. JD.

Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
Thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
JD. Johnson with the Talent Training Group. Forty seven past
the hour. All right, by now you might have heard
this story. Joe Bullard, Who I know Joe. I you know,

(01:30:39):
we're not like besties or anything like that, but we're
colleagues in a profession. And Joe's been around longer than
me in this market as far as radio, but he
has been long time the voice of FAMU football, very
deliberate kind of kind of style. And so Alabama State

(01:31:08):
Universities in town this past weekend and they have a
dance troupe of young ladies that are, shall we say,
slightly larger than what you might expect on a dance team.
And they're called the honey Bees. And so Joe is

(01:31:29):
recorded and I mean it's viral, it's everywhere. Joe is
recorded as saying that you know, well welcome, they're Alabama
State Honeybees and joking that they are now the new

(01:31:50):
face of osimpic and in Joe's style, with the delay
and the drama that is associated with Joe Bullard's style.
Yeah it it It didn't. I mean you could hear

(01:32:11):
there are people laughing like crazy and there are people going,
oh my goodness. He did not just say that. And
needless to say, the crowded Alabama State not really happy
with them with his comment there, but university is gonna

(01:32:31):
do what the university is gonna do. Joe is his
apologize for his part. But a man.

Big stories in the press box today, Pete Hegseith torches
fat general's low standards gender delusions during his remarks yesterday.
We played some of those remarks. We're getting the military right,
ladies and gentlemen, We're getting the military right. President Trump
announcing a big deal with Pfiser to lower cost of
prescription drugs. It will Pfiser's lowering costs because the United

(01:33:23):
States will now be priced as other nations around the world.
Pfiser announcing Alex Borler, the President saying, yeah, the United
States has been subsidizing the cost of healthcare around the world,
and it has to stop. You could have done it
long before now, brother, I maintain this as part of

(01:33:44):
Pfizer's reputation repair tour, so we'll see where that all leads.
The government has shut down, although its impact on you
and me, it's negligible. Eighty five percent of it. Ninety
percent of it is up and running and not affected.
My apologies to anybody that gets furloughed over this, but
the government's too big. Kid who claimed he was kidnapped

(01:34:12):
by four Hispanic men actually made it all up shot
himself in the leg to make it more authentic. Caden Spate,
our Florida Man nominee for the Year, covered a lot
of other ground. It was truly an audio magazine show.
We're gonna have another one tomorrow. Steve Stewart paused for
