And it's Wednesday on the Morning Show with Preston's Got Hi there, friends, ruminators, ladies and gentlemen. Wherever you are, however you are listening to us, thank you so very much for sharing your time. That's Grant Allen gotten away from the spring colors for one day. Because it's thirty some odd degrees outside. This is still pretty spring jacket light. It's a lighter blue.
You know. We got a storm system coming really yeah. It's leaving Texas and it's going to just sort of skip across the Gulf waters and intensify, and Florida is going to get hit with some weather this weekend. So I say that to say to you, look at the weather before you make
plans for the weekend so you're not devastated. It looks like central and South Florida might get the worst of it, but there's also the chance of flash flooding from Pensacola across the Panhandle. So that's about everybody in the radio broadcast area, So just keep that in mind. It's a thing to pay attention to. Our verse today comes from Luke twelve. We're studying Luke and I got hold on, I gotta hold that thought. It says here, and this is Jesus. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those
who kill the body and after that have nothing more they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear. Fear him who, after he has killed, has the authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. But then Jesus says this, are not five sparrows sold for two pennies, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Why even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows. Mmmm mmmmm. Chew on that for a
little bit and go about your day. Now, I believe I sent it to you. I sent this to Grant. I will be posting this between Palm Sunday and Easter. In fact, is I'm thinking about it. I might post it after Easter. Listeners shared it with me, and it is. It is a much larger manuscript that is alleged to be a translation of a report that conscious Pilot gave to Caesar as it related to Jesus of Nazareth.
Now I know from my own studies because I used to teach a class when I was in vocational ministry at a couple of different places on apologetics the idea of always being prepared to give a defense for the hope that you have in and apologetics is an intellectual exercise in the evidences and going so far as to even look at the problematical odds of Jesus not being the son of God, and the fulfillment of prophecies, and the history and the account of not
just the Gospels that are harmonious, but the independent secular writing. And one of those writings was the writing of Pilot who described the events on the day Christ was crucified. He described supernatural events that took place in the skies and he wrote them down. And this is of a YouTube clip of someone reading from this manuscript and links to it for you to download and do what you want with. So I'm gonna put that up right around Eastern because it's so
powerful. It's somebody outside the Gospels and their encounter with Jesus, literally their encounter, and then writing about it in the first person, So be looking for that. Ten minutes after the hour, it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott Boy. Yesterday was pretty little chilly to start the morning, but then just a resplendent day. Got out to the golf course with a buddy of mine from church and just and some time on the driving range, having a
great time just talking and hitting golf balls. Was it was just so beautiful outside, so so beautiful. March twentieth, eighteen sixteen. US Supreme Court affirms its right to review the decisions of state courts. Nineteen twenty two, USS Langley converted from the Collier USS Jupiter was commissioned as the first US Navy
aircraft carrier nineteen twenty two. What do you think it was like when they're sitting around and maybe it's you know, all the military brass at the time, and someone puts a hand up and says, I have an idea. What if we converted a cargo ship into a like a way to let planes land and take off from it? Excuse me? We're talking byplanes right, the days of maximum lift, limited power and so, but who thought of it? Who's the person I need to just look that up. Who's the
person who came up with the idea of the aircraft carrier? And who was
the pilot who tried it first? I would imagine it was a little bit like they show in the movie Pearl Harbor do littles raiders practicing on land and they set up I think they were B seventeen's, maybe not, maybe they might have been a be some other kind of bomber, but they set up they practiced because they they did a raid on Tokyo and they had to take bombers and get them off aircraft carriers, which means stripping them down, basically
taking the guns off them and it's it's fuel and it's bombs, and that's it. And and then of course the crew. And so what they did is they would at least they showed they took off land runways, but they they taped it off. They painted here's how much room you got go and you have to be off the air, off the ground, in the air by that line. And then they had to go off an aircraft carrier.
That's insane. Did they do it the same way, but they still had to have someone do it on an airplane, in an airplane, on the boat itself. I can't even imagine that. In Australia nineteen forty two, MacArthur pledges to fight his way back to the Philippines, declaring I shall return that happened on this date in nineteen forty two, and in two thousand and three, one day after an air attack, a coalition of troops comprised mainly of the US and the Brits in vad I Raq, overwhelming Saddam's army.
And remember they found him in that rat hole sixteen after the hour. Come back and talk about something called the Lost Kitchen. I think it's one of the coolest come concepts I've ever come across. I mentioned it to a very good friend, a restauranteur in the area, very successful and an unbelievably gifted chef. I came across it by accident a few years ago on Magnolia Network, which is the it used to be. There's HGTV, and then it
was the DIY Network. And when Chip and Joanna Gaines stopped doing their program for HGTV Welcome Home or No Fixer Upper, then it was Fixer Upper, Welcome Home, Fixer Upper. They left, and I don't know if it was oh, please come back, and they were like, well, here's what we'd really rather do, and they bought d I Y and turned it into Magnolia Network. Now I don't know if they bought the entire thing, or if it's a partnership, but it is been renamed Magnolia because that's what
Chip and Joyna Gaines do. Everything is around the theme of Magnolia. And what they do is they've got the Midas touch. God has favored them. They love Jesus, They're cool. Joanna Gaines has an unbelievable ability to design spaces, commercial, residential. And what they've done with Magnolia is they've come up with shows that are just different. And one of them was called The Lost Kitchen. Now I don't know if it was their creation or it was
pitched to them. It could be both. I don't know. But The Lost Kitchen is about a lady named Aaron French who left this small little town of Freedom, Maine, where her dad ran a diner and she cooked in the diner for years, and she left. She just wanted to get out of this teeny tiny town. And then she ended up back and she opened up the Lost Kitchen at an old forgotten mill and turned it into a destination around the world. When they opened for their season, which is spring to
fall, and they have cabin they've now turned it. They've got cabins on the property. They have a shop, they do a farmer's market, they do locally sourced foods. People send postcards from all over the world, and that's how you get a dinner reservation. You don't pick the date, they do. They take postcard submissions. And that window is open right now. If you go to the website, find the Lost Kitchen dot com. The very first page Spring is here. Our mailbox is open for the twenty twenty
four season submissions. And so you send a postcard and they just draw them. It's not by who does a clever little thing. They just pick them. And whatever day you get picked for, that's your day. If you can't come, they'll put you back in and maybe you'll get drawn again, but maybe you won't. And so people literally from around the world come to this little place Freedom Main and have dinner at the Lost Kitchen. It is not a menu ever Aaron decides to cook that night. Is what's the is
what the menu is. It's like a seven eight, nine course meal and it is charming. Everything's cooked in front of you. And I just got her latest newsletter where she talked about accepting postcards. Eleventh season at the Mill in freedom. We could have made The Lost Kitchen bigger, easier, but the world I wanted to share with you was exactly the one I'd created, an intimate, candle filled space with me behind the stove, dotting each dish
with an edible flour or two before personally delivering it to your table. It's just different. And I, first of all, I probably am going to make an effort to get her on the show because I'm fascinated by what she and her husband have done. It was primarily Aaron's drive that made this all happen. She's an incredibly determined woman. She's self taught as a cook as a chef, and her food is renowned to be amazing and a lot of
it's sourced right there locally or from the oceans of Maine. Whatever. You don't know what you're gonna get, you just show up and eat. And so I just wanted to talk about it and put it on your radar in case you'd never heard of it. If you get Magnolia or you get a chance to check out the show The Lost Kitchen, do it. It's a I think it's I think it's a great program, and any season that it comes up. My DVR is grabbing it and my wife and I love watching
it. But check it out find the Lost Kitchen dot com. I would love to see a concept like this somewhere closer to us. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Just did it? Just did it? Just send a note to the Lost Kitchen asked for some time with Aaron Aaron French on the radio program. I said, it's perfect time you just opened up for postcards. Let's do it, let's talk about it, let's fire up the postcards. Get a bunch of listeners of the Morning Show with Preston Scott
putting postcards in there. I would it would It would be so much fun for some some of you that listen to the show to put a postcard in and go and then and then tell me all about it. Come on the show and tell me what the experience was like. And you can then say how grateful you are that I told you. I just don't have the flexibility to put a to put a thing in. I just I know how they
work, and it's awesome, and I think it's great. I would never try to talk her into doing it any other way, because it's charming but it doesn't really work for me to put a postcard in and have to just book a flight. It just yeah, So anyway, I would love for some of you to go though, that would be that would be awesome to say that my little recommendation got you to put a postcard in and you went
to the Lost Kitchen and had an amazing meal and just an experience. It's just yeah, anyway, So we'll see, we'll see what happens, all right, Big stories in the press box, restore carpet, car and tyle. This is this is surface level period Congress announcing a funding deal, and apparently it's going to be a mini bus, not an omnibus. They're calling it a minibus. Here's the problem. I see nothing about debt reduction.
Problem number one. Problem number two that they say they've ironed out is at this point there's nothing about the southern border that's highlighted in there that provisions of House Resolution two dealing with the border. And so it's not immediately clear if Conservatives got anything in this that's not good enough to me. Story number two,
it was everywhere. Yesterday the Supreme Court gives Texas the green light to go ahead and enforce its law while the Fifth District Court of Appeals deals with the case. So the six' to three vote by the Supreme Court said, Texas, you can enforce your border within hours. The the Fifth Circuit issued a order preventing the law from taking effect, blocking it until the whole
court takes it up and settles it. So that was a two to one vote, So they have they have in essence said now no to the Supreme Court. Back to Texas, the Texas State Board of Education is pulling eight point five billion of invested money out of black Rock because of esg hm hmm, feel that feel that what's his name, Larry? Think is that his name? I don't know? At a boy at a boy Texas way to
go. The RNC showing some some backbone slap Nevada Secretary of State with a lawsuit Friday last week alleging impossibly high voter registration roles in five of seventeen counties. In at least three of them, they have more registered voters than they have adults over the age of eighteen that are eligible vote. And then the last see where look at all of these stories should be on your radar, Governor Ronda Santas set on a on a program? What was the program the
first but with Dana Losh? Is it losh or laslash? Lash? Dana? You got it. You gotta spell it better than that. You can't call yourself lash with an L O E s ch that's not lash. But then again I called it Mike Skryzhevsky. Right. Whatever someone wants to say about their name, so be it. Whatever. We do have a transport program also that's going to be operational. Haitians land in the Florida Keys. Their next stop may very well be Martha's vineyard. Sending Haitians to Martha's Vineyard
would be awesome unless you just deport them. I don't facilitate the migration for the left. I get you, I get you, But there's still something funny about let them deal with it. Biden won't deal with it, fine, we'll move them somewhere else. If Biden won't send them out of the country, fine, you know, we ought to just do what Dems do. I guess, just do it and let them sue whatever sue is. Fine. Okay, forty minutes, forty one minute, Oh my gosh,
look at us. Motor Mouse Morning shot Preston Scott Preston Scott, what will you do without freedom? And used Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA Oh, I might have I might have overlooked the most important, big story of them all. In a shocking upset, Donald Trump won the Republican primary of Florida yesterday. I need to understand why forty one two and thirty four Floridians voted for Governor Ron DeSantis he pulled out of the race. What are you thinking?
I want to know why one hundred and fifty five thousand, four hundred and sixty three voted for Nikki Hayley. They feel better about themselves, I guess, And look the name's on there. Okay, that's fine. I don't understand you. Let's let's do some predicting. Those one hundred thousand votes going to Iden. No, not all of them. Some absolutely, Some will go to Kennedy if he finds his way to it as an independent, but not all. But I would say, I would say a majority.
I would go there. I would I would go there. Hold on, I'm not done, though. Who are the eight thousand, nine fifty one that voted for Chris Christie? You're kidding? Who are the two thousand, eight hundred and forty four that voted Vivek Ramaswami. Wow, Chris Christie got more than Vivek. Huh. How about the thirteen hundred and eighty one that voted for Ryan Binkley or the eleven hundred and eighty eight that voted for Asa
Hutchinson? Does he have that many family members living in Florida? Donald Trump got nine hundred and ten ten and ninety seven votes eighty one point nine percent of the vote. Anyway, just saying these are things that I think about. Why it's it's it's not It's not that different from trying to understand why
anyone's wearing a mask unless you wore a mask before COVID. If you wore a mask before COVID, you know what, Yeah, there ought to be a mask that says pre COVID mask wearer, it says it on the mask. Then I will just say, Okay, that's how you thought ahead of
time. It's it's your progative. That's fine. And why someone puts a Biden Harris bumper sticker on it, I just I don't understand the true rate of unemployment monitors individuals in the United States sixteen to above lack full time employment, have part time employment but desire additional hours, or do not earn a sufficient living wage. The official US employment rate is three point nine percent. The true rate stands at twenty three point three percent. I believe that number.
Just saying, and one more thing. Gil West will take over from stevens Cher as the CEO of Hurtz. Remember that whole electric car thing. They invested a ton in electric cars and had to sell them off. Remember we talked about that. Hurts lost so much money on the deal. Sure said, yeah, I need to go. So you know who Hurts? His turn to Gil West, former chief operating officer for Delta and GM's crews. That's GM's autonomous car, which has been mired in legal woes. Yeah,
Hurts, just put the right guy in charge. I guess. Oh my gosh. When we come back, a cartoon comes to life. It's The Morning Show with President Scott. Have you ever seen the movie See Animated Pixar movie up. Yeah that one. Can't watch it. Man can't watch it too, sad, can't do it? You get weepy. It's a sad one. Yeah, I I get real weepy. At parts of that movie. The I'm no spoiler here if you've never seen it, it's been out for like fifteen years, and it's before Pixar lost its way fair enough.
Yeah, I think so it's a safe buy if you want to get to the movie. What does Pixar do now, Well, Pixar is just gone. It's Disney. It's politically correct it Remember they ruined the whole buzz Lightyear stuff. Was that them? Yeah? I see. That's the thing is like these different animating houses and Illumination is stayed safe. They're the minions people, right, correct, Yeah, they're funny Illumination. Yeah. But but anyway, Up is based on the premise of the beginning of the story.
Is big development building around one house, and one house is not being sold and he is not selling, and he decides that he is going to save his home and we'll leave it there for the purpose of transition. This story in Fairness comes from NPR, Florida. Man who refused to sell his home to a developer now lives in the shadows. This is incredible Coral Gables,
Orlando Capodi's home. He's a Cuban immigrant. His parents immigrated from Cuba, it's a Mediterranean one story, two bedroom stucco house, barrel tile roof. The neighborhood was full of them. He would not sell, he said, when they wanted to buy, my dad was sick. I was taking care of him. There was just no way I was selling this home. And he never would sell. They continued to try to buy, and so I mean there are accounts here of the developer, and then the developer's developer,
and then the people they sold it to. And he basically got to where he didn't trust the developer at all with what they were offering, and so he said no. So they built around him. He is literally surrounded on all sides by parking garages, office buildings, and a fourteen story hotel. For most of the year, his home is in shadows. Some of his trees and bushes are dying. The mango trees stopped giving fruit because it
doesn't give enough light. Get enough light, they planted the hotel put large planters on the edge of its property to block his property from being seen for the most part. When there was an emergency at his home, let me find this here, because this was incredible, he said. When is his mother fell and could not get up. He called fire rescue. Emergency personnel came to his back door, but realized they couldn't get her out that way. They had to take her out the front door, put her on a
gurney two hundred and ten feet to the fire rescue vehicle. That's how close the vehicle could get due to street closures. What proof do you need that the city violated fire codes to benefit the developer. Wow, the city's washed its hands of it. Said, yeah, they got to learn to get along. But that's why there's a one tiny house in the middle of this lavish development. And you know what, so there's a parable there somewhere.
God bless him. Yep, God bless him. But it's just as I started reading into this story, I kept seeing up, yeah, and don't let them take it from you. Yes, yes, unless they gave you a price that's worth your while. He did not get that price. He was not willing to move. It's an amazing story, all right. Second hours on deck, don't leave five minutes after the hour of the morning show with Trustin Scott. He's grand. I am the aforementioned trusting and how are
you we've talked about I won't say I'm mocked. I just don't understand. I mentioned this email chain that I'm on and it's just melting down because some of them hate Trump and believe he's as responsible as Biden for what happened with COVID, and that's not true. He's responsible to a certain extent by putting too much authority in the hands, too much weight on the words of Anthony Fauci, I'll grant you that. And he sped up the vaccine. He
got scared and bullied into it. Now he has to own that. And Trump's style is not to take ownership of mistakes. Would you know what? It would be so refreshing if he did. If he came out and said, you know what, I made mistakes at the rollout of COVID. I made the mistakes last time at president I didn't deal with the debt, and something like COVID's never going to happen again, at least not under our watch.
He would earn immediate credibility with some never Trumpers by just saying I fell short, because we all do that, said I was just we were gofawing at people that are just not realists that vote for Nicki Haley and Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie, and I don't want to be disrespectful. And Ryan L. Binkley, I don't know what you're thinking, but you have every right to think it. Okay, I don't get it. I'm not going to ever promise to get it. I don't have any interest in getting it.
I don't want to even know why you're thinking that. But whatever, running for office. You know what happened in Ohio. They had their runoff for the Republican Senate nomination and the Trump endorsed candidate one eleven eleven in the primary field. It's three eighteen in the afternoon, and in my box, Derek Myers concedes congressional race tonight did not go as well as we hoped, but as we know, the race is decided in the primary. I want to
give my congratulations to the Congressman elect. I'm looking forward to uniting behind him and working with him to get President Trump reelected to the White House and evicting Joe Biden, said Derek from a private watch party in Chilicothe, surrounded by one hundred of his closest friends and supporters. Listen, I'm in my thirties. I've told everyone on this campaign trailight. If I don't win this race, it's okay. I've got thirty or fifty more years left, and that's
if I live a good life. I'm looking forward to staying in the arena of Ohio politics and working with all Republicans to make Ohio great again. Three eighteen in the afternoon. The polls hadn't even closed. There's barely any exit pulling well when you know, you know, no, hold on, hold on. This story is only a quarter of the way told. Three twenty seven, nine minutes later. Disregard concession email. It's not we are so back. The previous email citing a concession was sent an error due to a
technical issue three point fifty seven pm. So you want to know what happened? Uh? Two emails were prepared for this evening, one declaring victory, one conceding the race. The concession was sent in error as it was being loaded into the media distribution portal as a draft in the event of a loss. Accidentally, the send now button was clicked instead of draft. The winning
email was also drafted. It was not sent an error, Thankfully. Anyone who works in communications knows it's not uncommon to have speech and releases prepared in the event of each outcome, especially such an im impotent night. Impotent, impotent, impotent, sir, it was impotent. It was an impotent night. Then at eight fifty seven in the evening, Derek Myers officially high bullet point, you know, a large font, all cast. Oh this is
not a joke, officially concedes congressional race. Oh my gosh. Hey, I can't even say anything, cause I would also not be telling the truth if I wasn't the employee that had done that before. Listen, I give him credit. He went, oops, yeah, owned it. Yeah, that's the best game and explanation, and then had fun with it in his actual concession, putting officially in bold type and big font and capital letters. That's the only way to do it. Well done, sir, in a
funny way. This young man has likely won favor for future endeavors by how he handled that right there. And it's a lesson to everybody. If you mess up and own it the right way, you can actually gain from it. Eleven minutes after the hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scot. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thirteen minutes past I sent a note to Sal Newsoh and I asked him now, Executive director of Consumer's Defense,
I said, did Florida's legislature make any gain any ground? Did they get any get anywhere on squatters? This story in New York just cannot be allowed to happen in Florida. It shouldn't be allowed to happen anywhere. Listen to this and this is a story that has been covered by ABC seven Eyewitness News in the area of Queens. Video shows Adele and Alauo approaching squatters at her
one million dollar home in Flushing, New York. I'm guessing Flushing has to be near Flushing Meadows, which is where the US open his plate in tennis. It's got to be close by Flushing, near Fleshing Meadows. It has to be gotta be yeah, right by Queen's kind of yep. Looks like a long island yep, yep. She says, they've called the police on me, and I've called the locksmith. I didn't come any illegally. The door was open. She was in the process of selling the property when squatters
first changed her front door and home locks. Homeowner decided to confront the squatters and hire a locksmith. After witnessing unknown woman unlock her home's door and leave, she was accompanied by her daughter with a property deed in hand. She entered the home found two people inside, one man sleeping in a bedroom. Homeowner told him to get out of my house. One man inside the property told the outlet he moved in two days ago. You shouldn't be trying to
steal my home, and Luo said, yelling at the man. His name Brian Rodriguez, one of the squatters, claimed to be on the lease. When pressed by a reporter from ABC seven to provide documentation of his lease, he couldn't. Of course, he couldn't listen, though police told and a Lauo's she had to untangle the dispute in housing court because the situation was considered a landlord tenant issue. How in God's name is it called a landlord tenant
issue? It gets worse listen to this. Along with being detained by the police, she was forced to initiate eviction filing to resolve the issue. The Daily Caller gets in the story asked for a comment from New York Police Department. Police responded to a nine to nine one nine to one one call for burglary pond seeing forty seven year old female was taken into custody and brought back
to the precinct. A further investigation revealed that the individual changed the locks to the home without giving the complainant a copy of the new key, and refused to leave the location. The individual was released with a criminal court summons for unlawful eviction. There was no arrest nor any additional summons issued. In regard, New York City recognizes claims of squatter rights in people who have occupied property for at least thirty days. This cannot be allowed to happen in the United
States of America. She was detained, she says, arrested, and why in the world would she have to even follow any foreclosure rules when they broken the law and broken in and tried to steal her home. Florida's got to deal with this, Okay, little follow up here. An hour ago, I talked about the lost kitchen, and if you were listening, you know what I'm talking about. If you weren't, go back to the podcast and listen to the first hour, and it's a charming place in Freedom, Maine.
It's truly cool. What they do. Mickey sent me a note and said they've adjusted a couple of things. Apparently you can, I'm reading from the website. You can choose your date and party size, but they don't. They don't want it on the postcard. If you get drawn, then you can say something about, hey, we'd really like to come on this date, and if it's available, they'll try to accommodate you. And however many guests you want to you want to bring or do, but they say,
don't mail your postcard in an envelope. Do an old fashioned postcard four by six male envelopes are sorted separately. They don't end up in the correct bin for reservations, so don't do that, and don't send more than one postcard per person. So there you go. You can have there's the possibility of getting the date that you need. So just saying that that could be a thing. How about that. I hope we haven't heard the last of
the last the Lost Kitchen on this show. I'm hoping that proprietor chef Roy Pew Aaron French can can join us on the show. I've held this story for a week. Independent Commission report compiled an interim report on the mass shooting that took place in Lewiston, Maine, in October. Speaking of main you may remember eighteen people were killed by an Army reservist to open fire in a bowling alley and bar. He was found dead different different location later. We
will not use his name. The interim report reveals details about the events leading up to the day. It shows the state's yellow flag laws were proper use of impotent to stop the tragedy. Authorities had caused to seize the firearms of the shooter and take him into pro protective custody years before he carried out the attack. Law enforcement alerted the potential threats, they failed to take preemptive actions.
Sheriff's office. This is from the report investigating a mass shooting in Maine had caused to take the killer and the protective cost custody beforehand and take away his guns. The panel, led by a former chief Justice of Maine's highest court, former US attorney, former chief forensic psychologist, hearing from law enforcements, survivors, victims, families, members of the US Army Reserve. In May, relatives warrened police the shooter had grown paranoid. They had expressed concern
about his access to guns. In July, he was hospitalized in a psychiatric unit for two weeks. August, Army barred him from handling weapons while on duty declared him non deployable. September, fellow reservist texted army supervisor about his growing concerns, quoting, I believe he's going to snap and do a mass shooting. They didn't do anything. This, of course, smacks in the
face the whole gun control lobby. They want to exploit these kinds of things and use them as leverage to try to take guns from law abiding citizens. It doesn't matter whether you have yellow flag red flag laws. It doesn't matter. Bad people will still find a way. And if you have those laws, this guy had red flags everywhere, never should have been around. I will tell you they could have stripped him of all the guns in the world
and it wouldn't have mattered. He'd have found him if he wanted to carry out the crime, he'd have found the guns. So you still get back to police should have acted on these threats. He should have been placed in a mental hospital, even if it's against his will. They were verifiable threats, and it still shows time and again, the only way to stop this type of crime is for good people to have firearms. That's the only chance
you have. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Big Stories in the press Box coming up the Morning Show with Preston Scott thirty five past the hour. Hey there, Hi, there, Oh there, Charlie Strickland. Next hour, We're counting on a good cell signal and we'll talk preparing for, yeah, fill in the blank, whatever may come our way. I'm going to ask him what he what would he think is first on the list of what
we would need to prepare for. Hmm. Anyway, m Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Restore carpet cair and Tyle Scott Beacon, our friend from Monday's program, The b Line Blog. He's got a new one out. What am I missing? He's talking about the immigration numbers. Biden allowed three hundred and thirty five thousand illegal Venezuelans into the country in twenty
twenty three. Eight hundred and thirty four were deported. I don't know if you've noticed, but the GOP roles are swelling, the Democrat roles are shrinking, the walk Away campaign, among others, people are fleeing the party. These are replacement voters, these are reservists. I encourage you to get that. That's not one of the big stories that ought to be though. Congress announcing a government funding deal to get us through the year, the remainder of
the fiscal year twenty twenty four six separate funding bills. They're calling it a minibus as opposed to omnibus. Covers Department of Defense, Homeland Security, State Department Foreign Operations, Legislative Branch, Health and Human Services, Department of Education. You could eliminate some of those just like that and save money. No mention of cutting the debt, no mention of what's going on at the border. This is not where we need to be. Supreme Court of the United
States gave Texas a green light to arrest illegals. Go ahead, enforce your law, enforce your border. In hours after the Supreme Court made the ruling six' three yesterday afternoon, the Fifth Circuit Court just three of the members, it's not all of them, I believe they call that en banc unbunk. Three of the members voted two to one that no, Texas could not go ahead with the law. So we're back at ground zero on that. Speaking of Texas, Blackrow just got smacked in the face again, not just
Florida, but now Texas, Texas State Board of Education. It's Permanent School Fund. It's called PSF divesting eight point five billion from Blackrock. That one's gonna sting Blackrock a little bit. That's a lot. Republican National Committee so far, not just Nevada. They filed lawsuit against Nevada for impossibly high voter registration roles. They're already getting ready. In twenty twenty four, the RNCs filed seventy nine election integrity lawsuits in twenty three states. It's about time.
Lawsuit in Michigan filed in last week, last Wednesday, a week aldgo today and then Florida Governor ro De Santis is mullin mulling Haitian migrant flights to Martha's vineyard. It's got to have a smile on his face when he says it. Just hasked to and then, oh, by the way, Donald Trump
wins eighty one percent of the vote. We have offered our thoughts as to what in the world people are thinking by voting for Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie sorry, Ryan L. Binkley, vivek Ramaswami, Asa Hutchinson. What are you doing? They're out? It's over. What are you doing? Come on, people, if you vote for anybody other than Trump, you hate America. I'm sorry you do. You hate America more than you hate Trump. You hate America. I know that's hard to hear,
but acceptance is the first step to recover. Consider him your truth detector. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven. Do w UFLA can hell? But when I hear this music, I feel like I got to be walking like Ace Ventura. All right, speaking of Florida's governor, Let's consider what Florida is doing. He is signed several bills dealing with the illegal immigration. And but I wrote this down the National news was
running earlier. It wasn't our the radio. It was on Fox. I was listening to Biden and it might have been Radio two. Sorry. He's in Phoenix campaigning. He talks about he's trying to suggest that Donald Trump hates immigrants. Always pay attention to the words used by illiberals, lefties, Democrats, Biden when it comes to immigration. Immigration is the act of legally attempting to get into the country. Illegal immigration is breaking the laws, saying,
I don't care what you think. Entering your home is something that a guest does when you invite them and they come through a door that you have opened for them. If they break into your home as an uninvited guest, they have broken the law and you are allowed to shoot them. You don't conflate the two. But that's what Biden and illiberals and Democrats do. They remove the word illegal. Donald Donald Trump calls immigrants poison to the American Americans whatever
we are. No, that is not what Donald Trump is saying. Donald Trump is talking about legal immigration poisoning this country. Joe Biden is an unrepentant liar. And I'm going to go back to what I said just moments ago. If you vote for Joe Biden in the presidential election, you hate this country, You hate America, and I wish you would leave. Why is why are they fighting any effort to suppress the flow of people breaking into this
country? Remember the question that we have. I've allowed it to overshadow anything that they do. If it's not intentional, what is it here? In Florida? One bill that the governor's signed increases penalties for illegal aliens who commit crimes after having already been deported for being here illegally. Another bill prevents local
governments from validating community IDs for illegals. In other words, the bastion of illiberalism in North Florida, otherwise known as Leon County, cannot provide legal IDs to people here illegally. Can'tnot do it. It's a violation of state law. Third bill increases penalties on those who drive without a violid valid driver's license. These are all good things, and you know what they do. They send a message. They say to an illegal, Hello, go somewhere else,
preferably out of the country, but don't stay here. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott Charlie Strickland. In a little bit preparing for Yeah, I talked prepping Part two, talked about it with jd earlier in the month. Florida Man Factor fiction in just a few minutes. But first I had to look it up. The article written by CNBC contributor Jessica Dickler, nearly half of young adults have something called money dysmorphia. I had to look
up dysmorphia. Yeah, I don't know what this is. I guessed. Here's what my guess was before I looked it up. I guessed it had to do it was something that dealt with one's view of self in some fashion, and I was leaning towards negative. Here's the actual A mental illness that dysmorphia a mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined, but the person may spend hours a day
trying to fix it. The person may try many cosmetic procedures or exercise to excess. People with this disorder may frequently examine their appearance in a mirror, constantly compare their appearance with that of others, and avoid social situations or photos. We've seen people with the surgeries that just start to look alien. Yes, yes, it's crazy. In our article, she talks about something called money dysmorphia and that roughly forty three percent of gen Z forty one percent of
millennial struggle with comparisons to others and feel financially behind. Experts say, look it, that's as old as the Smiths and the Jones. Is the comparisons to the neighbors next door, but that social media has put it on steroids. Listen to this though, according to Edelman Financial Engines, fourteen percent of Americans would consider themselves wealthy. More than half of Americans earning more than one hundred thousand dollars a year say they live paycheck to paycheck. Man, that's
living beyond your means. That's just, is it. I'm sure there are some No. I mean, if you're making over one hundred thousand dollars a year and you are living paycheck to paycheck, I believe that in a place like La or New York, I do. Oh, but you're choosing to live where the cost of living is absurd. It's not even of course, it's not even real. It just isn't. I mean, it's not, it's not. It's it's not even to me, it's not even a fair
comparison. You throw those cities and communities out because of their absurd regulations and policies. It doesn't cost that much to live there. It costs that much because of government to live there. And so I would say, well, what are you doing working there? What are you doing living there? But for the bulk of America. You should be able to live for with one
hundred thousand dollars of income. You just should. I can't tell you how many years I lived on a lot less than that, and yes, in times where things didn't cost as much, but relatively speaking anyway, I just for whatever it's worth. It's time. Florida Man fact or fiction. Three headlines. You tell me which one is the real? Florida Man headline One Florida man accidentally poisoned by his own bathtub moonshine. Two Florida man swallows two
necklaces during robbery. Three Florida man dressed as pirate arrested for firing muskets at cars. Three you're gonna like the image of that one, you do, Yeah, that one's very funny. It's actually number one. Number one. Huh. Florida man accidentally poisoned by his own bathtub moonshine. Okay, that's but as is always the case with all of these headlines, be they foe or real, they're all possible. Yeah, and I'm with you. When I first looked at this, I'm like, oh, yeah, that dressed
as a shooting a musket ours. I think my problem with these is I keep getting them wrong because I'm selecting the one that I want to be true. I don't disagree. We actually started having people last week email and say I got it right, I got it right, I guess right. It's just a guessing game, having some fun. Speaking of Charlie Strickland's next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's do this. Let's turn the page on the rundown, get to the third hour. It is show five thousand,
nineteen in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Now in our twenty third year. That's Grant Allen over there running the radio program as always, and I am joined by Charlie Strickland. He is one half of the Talent Training Group and Talent Outdoors. And the list goes on and on. Charlie joins us on the phone line this morning. Hello, sir, how are you. I'm doing fine, sir. I just got to watch the sun rise
over the Blue Ridge Mountains. I mean, I'm good. Dreston, you're hearing a little John Denver in your in your memory, in your echo now, probably have that stuck in my head all day today. Little Blue Ridge Mountains, West Virginia. You're probably not in West Virginia, though, I bet it's beautiful it is. I'm up in North Georgia, and we're fortunate enough, blessed enough know some people. We were able to get into a cabin and and this just for spring break for our kids. We're over the
different school system. So as spring break, we're going to the Atlanta Aquarium today. Look at some stuff, just to have something to do. But been eating local apples are big up. We've been eating local apple blueberry bread and just having a heck of a time. That's an opportunity to relax. If I could shut this phone off, but you know, keeps ringing. No opinion and nails and text messages, no offense, preston. But if I could shut this phone off, I might really enjoy my time here.
I'm looking at the picture. It's beautiful where you are? Well, yeah, I sent you a picture. The center probably would have slipped through that, but I had an appointment this morning on the phone, so I got up and watch it all right. We talked with your buddy a couple of weeks ago JD about prepping and preparing for and we just fill in the blank before we go to the filling in of the blank and get your thoughts on that. When did the idea of being a little more prepared for what if
scenarios? Do you remember what spurred that thought in your mind and and then took root in your life? When did that happen? And why? Well, I mean I was raised. I remember see my grandfather, my grandfather when I was so, he was a member of Mormon Church, and they tend to can food and put up a lot of food and preparation for other times. And I used to think he was a little touched for having a closet full of cans, you know, these big white buckets full of food.
And as I got older, you know, I just I don't know. I didn't get it until recently. And I think, Preston, what really made me go back to that time was one that's nostalgia over Howard, How did people do things back then? And when you know, we've been through storms, hurricanes, things like that, tropical storms, and when I was living in Tallahassee, and I've seen the runs on grocery stores and people lining up to get bottled water of all things, which I think is a
little silly. Everybody wants to run and get bottled water the first thing they do. I just pull up some drugs out of faust here in the same shape. But unless you're on city water, it kind of anyway. So I get water out of a well now, and it tastes like it was straight from something God intended you to drink. It is fantastic, and I can pump it out of the ground manually in with electricity if I need to.
But I think, when I think, what really hit me was when Hurricane Michael hit Marianna and my family was severely affected, and we started running a truck full of emergency response goods to wherever the food organizations or Red Cross whoever needed us to halt stuff. JD and some of our people were driving our van and trailers and we were hauling stuff everywhere. And we started to see how a very short term and in my mind, a hurricane, even
as bad as that this ill affecting people today in that area. Uh, even a short term breakdown in infrastructure and and you know, the things that make our community run every day. I saw how that affected community. And then you know, as the seed got planted in JD and I just didn't sit around and talking. Now we're wondering, well, what happens at this longer term? What if it's a month, a year or permanent And you know, people depend on us to tell them how to survive, and so
that's not what Guy is thinking about this. Charlie Strickland with me of the Talent Training Group, you can learn more. Talent range dot com is the website. He and JD and uh I guess they're ever expanding cast of characters can be heard on Saturday's Telling Outdoors More with Charlie, next Preston Scott's They're Gonna get a I'm just n Who's nash on w f l A talking about
preparing for fill in the blank. So, Charlie, if I were to ask you, let's take out hurricanes, natural disasters, I were to ask you, what do you think is the most likely thing we might have to prepare for? What would you say? Another binding administration? So that's that's here to be the most you know. So we saw stuff with civil interest, we saw stuff with protests. You know, we've seen things. We
all know society is going to tack in a handbasket. We know that, you know, things are not going to get better before they get worse, before they get better again. They're they're they're going to get worse at some point. I'd love to think that our society can come together and we can all sort all this stuff out. But honestly, you know, civil unrest
or should we have some sort of impose limitation on our resources. We've seen how fragile our infrastructure is, and with the government attacking this and I know all this sounds like right wing conspiracy theory and and you know, nut job one o one, But here's the thing is, we're charged with protecting our families. We're charged with protecting our loved ones and self preservation. And I think it's incumbent upon us to at least consider the fact that things outside of
our control may affect that. And if you're the people that are sitting there hungry because of something happened to I mean, you hear about chicken plants blowing up or burning down or things like that. You see food prices go through the roof, and I'm not talking about a slow incremental process. Well, society will adjust to that. We'll figure things out there, There'll they'll be
food like you know, that's that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about of something that happens overnight, and uh like when the when the gas stations quit pumping gas because they can't get gas trucks there because of something that happened, or when the government's trying to impose you know, I have an
electric car, but I don't believe in imposing that on anybody. I think that's a choice, and if it makes economic sense, you should be able to do that, no different than you can get an electric golf cart or a gas golf car. You get, you get your choice. Nobody tries to make you do it unless you're on an h O A and then they
stick your nose in your business. So you know, could could some Chinese balloon impose an MP or or the satellites go out because the Russians decided they wanted to shoot a newke up there and or dis or fire some lasers and disable a bunch of our our satellites. Because I mean, so you go down the list and you name it failure of satellite communications, GPS, internet, cell phones. I mean, just the other week, everybody was fussing
about your cell phones not working, and how frustrating that can be. So all of a sudden, your communication with your family's cut off, the ability for goods to move freely through our society. And you know, there's no such thing as a zombie war. There's never going to be a zombie apocalypse that you think about. If the grocery stores didn't have food on the shelves this next week, for say two weeks running, people are going to be hungry. And I'm not talking about a local thing, Preston, I'm not
there. If there's a local thing, hey, we're good. This country comes together, it mobilizes resources. But what if it's the whole country? Then what I mean, nobody's bringing stuff? So what are you going to have? What do you have for the short term and what do you have for the long term? Short term? Do you have any food but back that you can feed your family for six months? Can you do that? Most people can't. I'm still working on it. Can you grow food?
Do you have seeds to plant? Because you're not going to run down to the Dollar General of the Ace Hardware and buy seed that's not going to exist. Do you know how to farm? And you're not going to look it up on the internet. So do you have books written, hardcover books with pages that you can turn to tell you how to forage for food, to tell you. And you live in town, do you have a place to go? Because if you live in town, everybody else is going to be
doing the same thing. You know, It's it's not that's not the place to be said. Do you have a place to go? Do you have a way to put your stuff together and get out and get away from everybody? Because everybody that the zombies are the hungry people that are going to come take all your stuff and don't think they want to be armed too. And if you're not armed or why not? You know, so then what is
going to be the currency of exchange? I mean, you know, the deeper you go down this rabbit hole, the crazier I sound I'm talking about it, But the fact is is, I'll think about long term stuff, how I support my family and for generations. Charlie Strickland with us. We're going to continue right there, sixteen past the hour, twenty two past the hour. Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group Talent Outdoors, Talent Range with
us. And of course we are talking about prepping, preparing four and you can fill in the blank with any number of things. Charlie, you mentioned the phone outage that took place a couple of years ago, or a couple weeks ago, actually a little longer, and that's really what prompted this. There was a little bit of chaos that ensued, and I just got to thinking, Man, we aren't even remotely ready for what could happen. So
let me just ask you about communications. How have you, in your mind resolved the issue of what to do when you cannot pick up the phone and call the kids and call the family and call your wife and everyone can talk to each other. How are you going to handle that? Well, one of the things is you get you know, you know we've said this before. You have to have a plan, and I still I was thinking about
that this morning before we got on the show. You is, I've got one one particular daughter that doesn't know I've got a call today and tell her what the plan is, because you know, her situation has recently changed again, and so we have to change the plan. And so it's uh, when when communication breaks down and it looks like it's not going to be back up, and when my family is confused as to what to do. Get in their vehicle and come come home, come to my house. They know
where it is, hopefully you know. And I want them to all keep enough gas in their vehicle to where they can transport themselves there. If they cannot make it, if I don't see them within a certain amount of time, I will go to them. But all my children are armed, my adult children, and they should take their family's pets, whatever they got with them and come to me. And if they get to me, that is where that's sort of our rally point. So having a place for everyone to
get to. It's kind of like when you take your kids to the mall or somewhere and their teenagers and they're running around and you go, hey, if we get so, you go to a you go to some theme park, and we'll do that today at the Georgia Aquarium. Hey, if we get separated, we meet back here. And so it's the same plan, just on a grander scale, and you're dealing with life or death stuff, not hey, this is inconvenient, let's make a PA announcement. It's the
same sort of concept. You just ramp it up. So not being able to communicate and think it can think in terms of of you know, the daughter I mentioned, she just recently or is in the process or or recently did move, and I don't know where to so I have to find that out today, only get the exact address, and I can't google map that. I have to know where it is, so I need to physically go
there, lay eyes on it at some point in their future. And I think that's where people are going to fail miserably in these situations, is we're so dependent upon uh internet technology, Google this, sere that the whole nine yards, or lets you tell me this. Somebody's Alessa just did something funny, and so you know it's everybody. Everybody's depending on that. And the fact that even to get somewhere and nobody has anything in print print it.
So here's the time to go print all that stuff out. You know, look, look stuff up, print things out, order some books on how to do things. Research it. Now. If you're thinking about, you know, I could I've got enough. I could grow a garden and defend it. Okay, So get you the farmer's all on that. Get you some books on how to how to farm. Gets you some some long term
seed storage so that you'll have something to grow. And if you don't have those things, it's easy to find on the internet that is perfectly functional right now. And if you spend a little bit of money right now prepping for those things, guess what, you can use it one day for non emergency needs if you need to. Actually the dehydrated food, we've had some in the store for a while now. We bought several different brands. When I get hungry and I don't feel like leaving, I'll go in and make some
of that stuff. Just warm up some water, put it in there. Wait a few minutes. I get hot water out of coffee maker and ate that for lunch. And it's as good as anything else that I would go into town and get. So, you know, it's just nice to know. But once you go down this, once you get down this rabbit hole, you start thinking of all the things, and it's never enough. Yep, it's a little there's a little bit of an addiction to it. Once you get started. You just start thinking, but what if? And then
what if that happened? But that's that's how you play this game, and that's how you know you're the fittest and you survive, all right, Charlie Strickland with us. We got two more segments to come twenty seven minutes past the hour here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We're talking about preparing for and then you fill in the blank. Could you could be in that position right now where you need
to prepare for a hurricane? Hurricane season's coming. We know all the we know the routine. I remember Eric Eggers used to say, hurricane season brought to you by Loew's and Home Depot. Anyway, we're talking with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Charlie, we were talking in the break about a lot of different things, but let's talk about networking. That was something
JD touched on the importance of networking if things go south. But boy, when things go south, I wonder just how good a friendship you can ru I mean, you better be really careful about who you choose to be trusting information to, about what you have and what you don't. Yeah, so I mean, listen, when you're in our business there we have very expansive and extensive networks of people that know us and a lot of those people we
also know. But here's the problem is, because just because you're my Facebook friend doesn't mean you can show up at my house and a crisis and affect me to give my family food to you because it's not happening. I'm sorry. I could love you to death, but the fact is is I'm preparing to to preserve my immediate family and the people who are closest to me. And you know, JD is my brother from another mother. He knows he's
in that. He's in that loop absolutely. But here's the thing is is, and I know have a lot of people I trust, and here's what I trust them to do. Because I surround myself with people that that think similarly. They need to be getting their own crap together because you know they're gonna have to. They're gonna have to. If you're gonna come to me, you better be bringing something. And if you're gonna trust me, just
know that you can trust me until my children are starving. And so if you if you can only trust me until you're my children are starving to death, then you uh, you look at the people around you and you better know that you can trust them. And these are things and if they're not party to this conversation before it gets there, then they're not bringing anything to the table. And that's the thing is what skill set do you bring?
And we're all, you know, you know, most people listening are Christian in faith or something similar to they're they're not you know, we're not radical people from another part of the world that don't believe in charity and helping others of whatever religion they are. But the fact is is a hungry people, do you know, scared people do crazy things. I mean, I mean they're people doing crazy stuff and name religion right now, and they're not hungry,
they're just crazy. But so yeah, I mean networking, knowing the people that you're going to be associating with, having a plan, knowing your neighborhood, knowing who can do what and who can bring what along, and you know, and then you're going to run into people that are I look at it like the old Deciding Adventure movie to the old one where you know, the people were finding their way through the ship and the other group was going the other way and they're like, no, they don't go that way,
and they go, oh, we're going this way, okay, and they didn't make it. And so I see people like that in my everyday life, and I go, yeah, they're not going to make it. And so people they have a plan for the short term. I got some stuff here in the house. I'm a hunker down till they get here to help me. But the problem is in a long term situation, they are not coming. If they come, they're coming to take your stuff, not to help you. So it's you know, if you're in the inner city,
bless your heart, because it's not good. You need to leave. You'd be better off living under an overpass than staying there. Because it's almost like impact circles on a map, isn't it. I mean, suburban, downtown, inner city stuff that's like ground zero trouble. And then it gets maybe a little bit better in the outskirts, but still not quite the same as being out in the country or out in the forest, or out in the mountains, or you know what I'm saying, with large tracts of land.
So what's going to happen in my mind? And you see this stuff in movies and all of me because there are people sit around think about this stuff. They're intelligent people that write books and movies and make stuff about it, and they think of all these terrible situations that could happen, and if you see them, it's not just made up in the movies. This is how people think. This is how society goes. It's based on social construct.
I mean, what's happening in Haiti right now. The government had issues and now they've got warlords and gangs running the streets. And that's in Haiti. In Haiti has never been exactly a bastion of of any middle class and freedom. But the fact is is that it's you know, you see it happened in South America, you see it happen Central America, you see it happen all over the world today that when society falls apartment very fortunate that it
hadn't happened here. We say, well, we're America's not it's never going to happen here. But look at the riots and look at the protests, and look at the issues that we've had. Look at Seattle, you know, and that that place up there. So that's what's going to happen in the cities. In my mind, in my mind is that you're going to have groups of strong peop people come together form coalitions. They're gonna run things
and that's not gonna be terrible to you. The strong will take over, they'll have what they want, and then you know that's the way that's going to be. I don't want to live in that area. Hang on a second, Charlie. Forty one minutes after the hour, one final segment with Charlie Strickland, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott all right. Got a little late in that segment. One more segment with Charlie Strickland of the talent
training. We're talking about preparing four So let's get to one more topic, Charlie, and it's firearms. I want to get your opinion on this. JD suggested that if someone had to have one firearm, he would recommend a shotgun and then have plenty of eight shot and slugs. What about you? Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's that's like his way of thinking, that's common way of thinking. I don't disagree. I think that is a
perfectly legitimate way to go. I on the other hand, I think I would have a rifle caliber something that I could kill deer distance, shoot intruders if I need to. What Cali, I'm more of a I'm more of a honestly, because I know it's a military caliber and there's plenty of it.
I'd have a three eight rifle because if if I ran across any military units, if they had anything in thirty caliber, it's going to be a three o eight seventy six two you know round, you know, so I prefer that's what I hunt with a lot of times, you know, I hunt with another different you know, the six five prcs into this and that and all, but that are a five five six. You can kill a deer with an AR fifteen and the five five six me personally, I like
the three oh eight just I spent some time behind one. But I'm more of a or. I would have a nine milimeter pistol caliber carbing and tons of nine millimeters because you're going to be able to find that. You can hunt with it, you can defend yourself with it. You can't shoot birds with it, you know, but you're not going to bird hunt or food because one shotgun shell to kill one little bitty morsel a bird is not is
not viable. And I also think I also think that your ammunition choice should be predicated based on what you think the exchange rate may be going forward. Because if you come to me and I've got I don't know, a truckload of college greens that I grew, and you want some of those, and I go, what do you have to exchange? And go I got some dollar bills and I go, it's not worth anything. Well, I have some jewelry. I don't care. I've got some silver, Okay, well
that might for gold, that might. I might take that because I may change with someone else. But you know what I will take. Do you have any three eight or nine millimeter five five, six, two two three? Because I can hunt with that, so if I were, but if I wed that to somebody else, But if I were to ask you to pick one the three oh eight or the nine milimeter, which would you go
with? Personally, I'd probably go to nine millimeters pistol caliber car being just because I can kill a deer at one hundred yards and I can still shoot whatever with it, and nine millimeters are very common cartridge. I don't disagree with JD on the shotgun, but honestly, I think a nine millimeters pistol caliber car being would be the all around go to for me. You know, I just I like that that option thermal or night vision. I like
thermal because because night vision things tend to blend in. You can see things stand out, but you can see to navigate. I wore night vision on the SWAT team navigated with it. It's okay for that, but for hunting it's terrible. It's just hard to see fermal. You can hunt day or night with it. You put a thermal scope on something you know. You might not be able to tell if that's an eight point or a ten point or you know, with the thermal, but you can tell that it's a
deer. You're you're hunting for survival at that point. And if somebody's hiding into the bushes, I can still see them with fermal and I cannot with night vision. Charlie enjoyed our visit. Thank you for letting us interrupt your time away, and we'll talk again next month. And I'm not crazy, by the way, thanks for the disclaimer. Well, all right, Charlie Strickland with us of the Talent Trading Room, and I'm not crazy. Forty seven minutes after the hour, I'm gonna save this story to get to some
emails. I've been called out by some for saying, hey, aren't you the guy who said in the primaries vote with your heart and in the general vote with your head. Yeah, that's true. They all dropped out, man, But yeah there. I mean, Bankley might still have kept his campaign rolling. Who is that, I don't know, but he was on the ballot. But the others quit. But if you want to make I said, you have a right to do it. But I got a shame on you. Oh, don't be a ninny. It's you need to apologize.
We don't need to bow to the Trump throne to prove our love of America. Oh boy, this again. No you kind of you, kind of of you, kind of sort of. No, there is not throwing bow for Trump, folks.

No. Look, and I heard from a few of you about this. I just think you're silly to vote when these candidates are out.
But if you believe that sends a message to Trump, okay, okay, I think it's silly, But that's okay. When I say vote with your heart. I'm talking about when we've had primaries where candidates were in it. You vote with your heart. Whoever use If desandis and and Haley we're still in it, I would say, good on you. Is like in sixteen when you had continue going to Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio like there were there were lots of people there. That's fine. I have no
problem with that. But when the candidate themselves says I'm out, I just and if you think shame on me for thinking that way, well, well shame on you. No, I'm just kidding. I still love you. I just disagree with you that it's okay, and I can, I can. I can do that, and so you can do that with me, and then I can do that with you feeling that way about me. I can disagree with the fact that you disagree with me about disagreeing with you.

The answers are probably no, and no and no, and so whatever. Supreme Court said Texas can go ahead and enforce its law on the southern border. Then the Fifth Circuit said no, you can't. Well, the Supreme Court said, yes, you can until the final decision is made by the Fifth Circuit. So what's the Fifth Circuit doing? The Supreme Court said
yes you can. So we'll see where this goes. I mean, does it go back to the United States Supreme Court? The United States Supreme Court then issues a six' three ruling that says, no, you can do it, and then the Fifth Circuit two on one goes, no you can't. I mean, is that where we're at now?
