It's good limbered up. Hey, good morning, Welcome. It's Wednesday, June fifth, on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Coincidentally, I'm Preston. I've shared the story years and years and years ago. The Latelye Bowen, former program director of WNLS, was driving down North Monroe Street here in town, Highway twenty seven and I was on the side of the road holding a sign we'll do radio. He said, I'm looking for the host of a radio program. I said, really, you don't say I've done that.
He said, you wouldn't happen to have a name like Preston Scott, because we have a show, the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We're kind of looking for someone named I was like, this is your lucky day, sir, because that's my name. And the rest is history. What is entertaining about that is it is not entirely uncommon for some city and some state somewhere to have a morning show called, you know, the Bob and Mandy
Show. Sure, and every couple of years there's a new Mandy. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, no. It was The naming of the show was really inspired. You could tell it was. It was a deeply thought out thing. But here we are now seventy three shows later. And again the backstory to that is I really didn't have high expectations. I didn't think i'd last but twenty days, and so I started counting just for fun. Hey, look at this day twelve and next thing, you know,
as Victor says, it's a thing. And so here we are. But welcome to Wednesday. John over there once again our verse today third John one eleven. It says, beloved, do not imitate evil, but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God. Whoever does evil has not seen God. Now notice what that says there, whoever does good is from God? Really, I mean really, so how do we define good? See that? That's where you start to unwind this verse a little bit, because the
definition of good is God's definition. It's not what you and I look at and think is necessarily good. Because, let's face it, we are We're human, and not a one of us passes the test of being anything but human, and we will fail, we will fall short. And I think the challenge here, at least, this is what I would say to you, because, as is the case with scripture, depending on the season you
are in in your life. You can read a passage of scripture and it can mean something really profound to you at that moment, and then fifteen years later, in a new season of life, read that same scripture and it becomes something a little bit different to you without contradicting what it meant to you fifteen years before. And that's what makes the Bible so unique, and that's
why it's There is no other book like it. There's no other book that has come even remotely close to selling as many copies as the Bible distributed as many copies. It's a phenomenal book, and it is actually a library. The Bible is the compilation of multiple books brought together into one library, if you will, of of thought about God from God and inspired by God,
and you know it. And again, separating world religion, which I spent eight years studying in my vocational background, all of religion can be summed up with one sentence, man's attempt to reach God. If it involves man's attempt to reach God, that's religion. And there are many Christian faiths that really are religious because you got to do this, and you got to do that, and you got to Christianity is about God's attempt to reach man and the
simplicity of the message. The simplicity of grace is really difficult for people because we're used to doing things to earn whatever. You do your homework and earn a grade, You do your work and earn a paycheck, and we don't, we don't transition well to this idea of grace. And this verse to me is just real simple. If you call yourself a Christian, one of the ways that it's marked is by what you imitate. What does your life
reveal about you? It's that simple, And so I challenge you with this verse, imitate the things that are good, which would be the things that are of God. How about that? Ten minutes past the hour, come back. We have the American Patriots almanacs standing by, open and ready. We'll delve into the pages and then start to unpack. What is the Wednesday, the midweek edition of the Morning Show with Preston's Cotton. I told John, I said, you'll see, it just works here. We are kicking
it around with everybody kiss you, waking up. We're going out of my am I my a migration. Hey, where'd everybody go? It just fits. Early in the morning, the rooster's growing, the sun's coming up. Yeah, it's for that that one fella that's looking looking at his clock. Click what what what? No, it's for that one fella that remembers the old days of AM radio news talk and the farm report. Yep, because that's what I mean, At least in the Midwest, the farm report was
the thing you had, the farm report. They had a hogs here you know, there there hogs You're are coming to market next week, and then we expect the chickens to make their way there too. And yeah, I mean, yeah, I remember, I've run them really yeah, more more of an automatic. I'm not up at four thirty in the morning, right right, Yeah, talking about hog hog and soybean features. But sure, yeah, the old days, man that was. That's that. That's a
classic stuff. So I just I don't know, just fits here in the here and the roosters with this segment. Uh, So we go inside the American Patriots almanacat this time every day. And I love this book because it's so weathered and worn and taped together and notes written in it. One day this will be handed off to somebody with with the hopes that it continues anyway, uh, June fifth, Can you imagine for just a second here before I get to the actual events, This was the day before Normandy, and
they'd already I mean they they've been ready and waiting. If you've ever seen the series Band of Brothers, the tension and then it's called off because of weather, and then the decisions made to okay, we're going. I just you know, my dad was serving at that time, and he was according to someone who served with him, because my dad never talked about it. It was one of these really weird things that you like. My dad was an Army airman for a while, said he was grounded when he buzzed a
farmer's field sheep farmer and got in trouble. But what I never could understand until years later, and this was after my dad had died, and the son, the older son of his best friend who enlisted with him, told one of my older brothers a story. I could never understand why my dad knew French, but he did. He spoke lines around me and every now and then to me, just one line and would just kind of laugh. And it never dawned on me because I was a kid and he didn't do
it later in life. So the story goes that my dad, along with two or three others, learned French and were smuggled into France ahead sometime a month ahead of Normandy, and they mapped the roads acting as just French peasants, and then that was it. He wasn't at D Day. He wasn't. He didn't fight there. He would eventually have his portrait painted by a German prisoner of war who was an artist. One of my family members has that, and that is like incredible. It's an incredible portrait of my dad
in uniform painted by a German pow. But we could never confirm the story because Dad's records was among the hundreds of thousands that burned in the fire in Saint Louis at the depository of all the military records held in Saint Louis, and so there's no record of that. All we have is we know he served, and we've got the flag and all that, but it's like we got nothing other than the story told by the son of his best friend who went to Normandy with him allegedly. I don't know if it's true, but
my what a movie would that make, right? I mean, that's a
story. You've never heard the preparation for this day, but you just put this day in history and you think about the thousands and thousands of men who would never come home, who would die on that beach that day, because that's as close to old school revolutionary war stuff, where the guys advance and the first line gets dropped, and then they advance and then fires, you know, another shots are fired, and people just start dropping because they've just
lined up in front. That attack on those beachheads in Normandy is as close to that as you get. They're just advancing and falling, fancying and falling, and you just overwhelm with numbers and finally get hold of the beach. Eighteen fifty one, Uncle Tom's Cabin begins appearing in serial form in The National Era. Nineteen thirty three. United States goes off the gold Standard. Nineteen forty in Akron be If good Rich Company exhibits synthetic rubber tires. Nineteen forty
seven, Secretary of State George C. Marshall outlines the Marshall Plan. Nineteen fifty six. Elvis Presley very much sings his latest single, hound Dog on The Milton Burrell Show and was On this date. In nineteen sixty eight, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. My my, my, eighteen Oh my goodness, gracious, I talked a lot. Eighteen minutes after the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, we're
gonna get back on time here, short segment. Those of you listening up early in the Central time zone in and around the Panama City, Panama City, Beach, Lynn Haven, Callaway areas. You know the voice, your voice, my voice, Yeah, Sonny something, Panama City's variety stations, Sunny ninety eight point five, gold Man, look at those. Listen to those dulcet tones. See. I was never good at that stuff. I was just I was so slocky. Thankfully. I was never a puker.
Good morning, everybody, Welcome to the ball. You know that that kind of thing was was big when I got into radio, the puker era. But I was never that. They prefer boss Jock whatever. Yeah, I'm sure they prefer a lot of things, but but no, John's John's voice may be familiar, so he's he's helping out while we move this transition time period and and hopefully get our our our permanent producer of the Morning Show with Preston Scott in place. We we have we have identified, a target has
been identified. So anyway, I appreciate John being in here. Have you ever stayed in an Airbnb? No? Is there a reason why, or you just haven't gotten around. I haven't done specifically an Airbnb. I once did a vrbo vacation rental by owner a Verbo. Huh, yeah, which I guess is the same idea. Yeah, it is. Verbo claims that you get their whole place. Airbnb allegedly you may not necessarily have the whole place. I don't know, I don't know anything about it. I won't
do it. I will never do it. My home will never be any of those things. I came across a story of an Airbnb or a Verbo, one of those type things where whoever stayed there before, Yeah, they didn't thoroughly clean because a little bit of white powder that was by the side. The next family with the toddler got to it and died and that was the fentanyl. And I just you know, now, obviously I've got grandchildren, and so I would be concerned about anything like that that might have been
missed. I mean, it wasn't like anyone was intentionally other than the previous renters right who were throwing drug parties. But it's like, yeah, no, I'm not interested in even opening that door. Though it could absolutely happen in a hotel, no doubt about it, but I'm gonna take my chances at hotels and that kind of thing. I just the idea of being in someone's home where they could have cameras and all kinds of stuff wired in all
kinds of ways that you would never find. No thank you. But here's another story that just okay, I'm gonna make you paranoid if you're not already. Cleaning crew Alhambra, California discovered over two hundred pounds of meth left behind and then when officers arrived, they called police right away because this was like, yeah, I'm not having anything to do with this, so they called
the cops. They looked at the doorbell, the ring camera and found the previous renters hauling boxes out into a U haul truck and the U haul truck comes around the corner as police are there and then drives away. They eventually run the thing down, all totaled six to eight million dollars worth of fennel. Wow. And I don't need to tell you how many people that kills because it takes just a literally a whiff to kill you. It's it's just
it's incredible. So yeah, we won't be now. And again, if that's your thing, cool, good on you, just not me, not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent, George H. W. Bush, wouldn't be prudent. Wouldn't be prudent to do that. Back with the News. Later in the radio program, for the first time ever, John gets
to play Florida Man Factor fiction. We'll read three headlines and candidly all of them plausible for Florida Man, but only one is truly a headline actually happened, at least so far, because like I said, they're all plausible, and so we we just give you a chance to play at home. No prizes other than just personal pride and knowing that you've discerned the correct answer. We've got yeah, and beaten me. That's possible as well. Grant was
probably fifty to fifty. He actually did pretty well, which, of course, in baseball gets you in the Hall of Fame with big time awards. But yeah, as long as you don't bet on it, boy, no kidding. Yeah, speaking of baseball FSU, I've been asked, what are they trying to kill people putting it in the sunshine like that in Florida. I think it's it's a calculated decision based on weather patterns, because late afternoons,
even in June early June, there's good chances of rain. And though the rain that's not usually go past Walmart on the north side of it just stops at Walmart. We don't have a stadium north of town. It's down in the central part of town. And so my bet is they bump these things noon on Friday, eleven a m. On Saturday, and noon if necessary on Sunday. All those games heard here locally on WFLA. Is baseball
picked up in Panama City. It is not, but it is available on the on the stream game Day app, on the game Day app, Yeah, the iheartstream. It is available locally locally. Yeah, so there you go. It is available fifteen minutes before first pitch. You'll hear the pregame show with Lulu and and so, yeah, Yukon comes to town. The other bright side is I would think Yukon would not be particularly comfortable playing in
the heat of the day. That's just my guess, But I don't that certainly didn't have anything to do with it, because the times are set by ESPN and the NCAAA. So there you go. Big stories in the US box, brought to you by Grove, a creative marketing and digital expertise. Okay, even if you're a Biden fan, and I don't know how on God's name you could be, I just, I just I don't. I can't get my brain around anybody that thinks he's done a good job. I
can't go there. My mind won't allow me to even think that. There are people that think he's done great. But how could you not just go excuse me when he takes executive action to shut down the border? Now wait, you're kidding me, right, it happened. There are a lot of conditions that go with it. The numbers have to be, on average, twenty five hundred daily encounters and it hasn't been below that since he took office.
Sounds like, did you just not notice we were being invaded? Did you not notice the murders, the rapes, the driving incidents that led to people being killed by illegals fleeing and looting and I mean evading rather what anyway I have to stop there to maintain my dignity. And then this, and I sent a note to John and and and then our bosses up the chain,
what do you do with this? X? Twitter, according to new policies unveiled Monday, this week, is allowing pornographic adult content quoting full and partial nudity, including close ups, explicit or implied sexual behavior, or simulated acts such as sexual intercourse and other sexual acts, as long as it is consensually produced and distributed. Love to know how you find that out. I seriously, I would love to know how you know that that was consensually produced
and distributed. I'm I've got to pull up on our X page and look, I know we don't have we got what three followers. I mean, it's like, but I'm asking all three of you, should we stay? Should we go? My personal position on social media is such that my bosses have just kind of begrudgingly accepted that I'm just kind of a jerk on this. I've been out of favor with our company for years on this subject because I just think we've been wrong. But I would love to hear your thoughts
on this. So go, if you're a Twitter X person, go there and take the poll. I'm leaving it up till the end of the week midnight on Friday, and it's not going to make our decision. We'll make our decision. I just want to know what you think. Forty one minutes past the hour. Those are the big stories. Those Yep, that's them right there, morning Ship, Preston Scott. I just got to thinking I had to be like a total selfish host here and just blow off the rundown
and just have an on air staff meeting with my boss. John and I seldom occupy the same space. He's in Panama City, and he doesn't come here all that often because so much of what he does can be done remotely, and you know, he can talk to staff here and all that. He's running both clusters from an operation standpoint, all of the radio stations,
what about twelve of them? Twelve? Yeah, and so we I mean, I'll fire off an email now and then, but we're setting forget I mentioned that yesterday, but we ought to just have a staff meeting right now, you know, just kind of talk about stuff, and like, what do you think of this whole X thing. I mean, I think it's a conundrum. It's the only think about it. It's the only one of the social media sites that are going there. Yeah, it's grasping at straws.
I think for X because they lost a lot of users when they were banning the shadow banning accounts, and then they lost some of the users that were still there when they started accepting some of those back and adjusting the contents parameters. And I'm not sure that X is gonna make it. I mean, I'm assuming that this has something to do with bumping up numbers of users.
And well, it's interesting because the adult content on X right now appropriately named at this point, right, Yeah, how ironic is that constitutes thirteen percent of the platform. And now with this announcement making it abundantly clear what the guidelines allow, that number is gonna jump because we know dudes are addicted to porn in this country, primarily guys. But now you are going to
have inadvertent or intentional whatever exposure to kids. It's gonna happen. And again, now we find ourselves Instagram, Facebook, Google, TikTok, while we still have access to TikTok. They don't allow this stuff, and so and I get, you know, well, Elon Musk is a libertarian. You know, he's a but are you a human being? Have you not heard? Do you not know? I don't know. I'm just here's the here's what I and I and I expressed this to to John yesterday and to our
bosses. Where do you go? I mean, where do you go where? Because I feel as though, and I and I understand from from Iheart's perspective, they want all of the personalities out in as many places as possible because they're trying to monetize the digital realm. And I get that, I absolutely do. I've always tried to redirect iHeart to remember you know. It's like there was a time when it was iHeart everything, all of the station
vehicles, everything was iHeart, iHeart, iHeart. And I was like, guys, don't forget what makes up iHeart are the individual parts the stations. And so after a few years of that, they kind of went back to the well, you know, we got to remember the individual stations that make up I Heart. And I guess, my my, And it's not like because I'm an old guy, I really avoid that labeling of being just a chrustiold curmudgeon. I just believe that radio has proven time and time and time
again to be a thing that matters in people's lives. It just does. And to not forget we're radio and anything that divides us from that primary thing I view as in the grand scheme of things detrimental to the brand. But that's just my view. I'm not the guy that makes those ultimate decisions for anything but maybe my show. And that's a maybe. But now now recognizing because I feel like, for example, my blog page I think is really good. I think we have really good content. So what do we do?
And that's in part where we're starting the discussion on the Twitter page. So at TMS Preston Scott that's where you go. Take the poll. Let me know what you think at TMS Preston Scott. Forty eight minutes after the hour not quite Animal Story. Next, John said to me, are you I don't know if you're a Star Wars fan or not. I'm like a nerd, although I'm an originalist nerd. The first three that came after the original four, five, and six, but episodes one, two, and
three were a disaster. But I liked episodes seven, eight nine. I'm that rare guy that I thought. I thought the whole ray scene and you know, Luke dusted himself off. I just thought that was just brilliant stuff. That was just epically cool. Empire Strikes Back, Yeah my favorite. Yeah, yeah, that's awfully strong. Rogue one my second favorite that I
was gonna mention, Rogue one is appreciate, is unbelievably good. In fact, I would always recommend you watch Rogue one before you watch Star Wars four, The New Hope. That's you should absolutely watch Rogue one before. And I'm not I'm not a fan of the solo story. That's like, you know, the young Hans solo thing. Nah, nah no no. But but at any rate, I I said to John, Disney's dead. To me, it just is they've forfeited their place in my heart with pandering to
groomers and picking fights where they don't need to. And it's just anyway, they've mismanaged so many things, and and I think Walt would be livid with what they've done. I think I think what would be absolutely upside down angry. Okay, when I put the rundown together, which I share with the producer of the program which today standing in is as I mentioned John as he said, do you want the animal stories? Bet? And I said,
not quite an animal story. I couldn't animal stories. So you know, it's like, Florida man stories cannot be a Florida man doing something heinous. It's got to be Florida man being that guy. Yeah, a little bit of that. It's like it's just man kind of a shake your head,
my boy, you know, my guy kind of story. Yes, And and for animal stories, it's got to be interesting, cute, heartwarming, but it can't be an eighty three year old tourist who doesn't understand that bison are dangerous and tries to get close to one and then gets flipped in gourd. Come on, people, bison hurt more people than anything else in Yellowstone. That's the animal. But when they say don't get near them, friends, don't get near them. If you get near them, sorry, thinning
of the herd takes place, and you're the one being thinned. Here we are the second hour Wednesday, here on the morning show John and Studio one. A. I am here sequestered in Studio one. B Jade Johnson next hour with the Talent Training Group our personal Defense segment. Let me take you back to the early years of the truckmp administration when US Congresswoman Maxine Waters, angry that the Trump administration was dealing with the southern border, was separating parents
and children at the border. Part of that was to ensure that these children were with their parents, not with traffickers. But I digress. You may remember that a restaurant in Virginia refused to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders than the Press
secretary. Protesters confronted Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nielsen at a dinner at a restaurant, and Waters said, if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore anywhere. Remember that, How would you handle that if suddenly someone tried to create a crowd to surround you and basically push back on
them. I know what she meant, but since we're taking people at their words, how would you handle that? Then we go to her showing up at a rally at Brooklyn Center, Minnesota after the killing of Daunte Wright. You might remember that a police officer grabbed her service revolver or it's not revolver or service gun as opposed to a taser and shot and killed the young man. I hope we get a verdict that says guilty, guilty, guilty.
There's reasonable actions by an elected member, and if we don't, we cannot go away. We've got to stay on the street, get more act, to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know we mean business. Now, set aside the fact that Maxine Waters has made a living literally saying stupid things. I can't say she is stupid. I'm just saying she says things that are stupid. And then once again, the roar of rushing Waters hits this week music added by Fox News, but this from MSNBC.
I'm worried that he's so divisive and that he's talking about retribution and they're talking about revenge, and I think that that's dangerous. He's even mentioned a civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed. I am going to spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system, asking them, tell us what's going on with the domestic terrorists. Are they preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about our safety?
What is he doing with this divisive language. It is dangerous and we're going to have to make sure that we understand that we're not at risk with this man talking in the way that he's doing. This is not good for this country. But he does not care about democracy. He does not care about the Constitution of the United States. He's in love with Putin and Russia and Kim John own In aughthlk Korea and all of that. And so it's
not just that he's a criminal. This is a man who disrespects the constitution and democracy, and we have got to find out what they're doing as domestic careers tried to take over the government January sixth, Okay, the rehashing of old lives. You know, someone once said, better to keep your mouth closed than to remove all doubt that you're an idiot by talking. Because she's
an idiot. First of all, you can't put democracy in the Constitution in the same sentence, because we're not a democracy, and the left intentionally is trying to create this idea that we're a democracy. We're a democracy, We're a democracy, damaging democracy. We're not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. And the gap between that and a democracy is wide, though not as wide as it once used to be here in America. But there's more.
Ten minutes past the hour, stay with us only it's a morning show with Preston Scott. I think the basic line was better to have people think you're foolish and an idiot and stupid, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. I think that was more the way it went. But consider the statements of Maxine Waters about confrontational pushback surround them, make them uncomfortable, and she's now taking individual words. He's he's talking about the Civil War.
Yeah, in the context of the divide that's happening in our country. He's talking about what will happen if we allow this to continue. That's where we're going, and that's where we are going, friends, That's the whole point. But this hypocrisy, and I will tell you the result of it. The result of it is that now Trump has raised seventy million dollars since the
verdict, at least a third of it from first time donors. I've got a stack of stories detailing people that have that voted for Clinton in twenty sixteen, voted for Biden in twenty twenty, and they're over it. They're not only going to vote Trump, they're giving him money. Guys who pulled their resources from Trump because they initially believed all the nonsense about January sixth, and the parsing of his speech there is just like the parsing of his speech at
I think it was Charlottesville in Virginia. Good people on both sides. What was he talking about again, Yeah, take the context of what he said, but they removed the context and they lift the SoundBite. But this is Hugh Hewittt who does radio. I don't know if he's I'm guessing he's nationally syndicated. He wrote a piece and he detailed fifty reasons why Trump's raising this level of support and summarized by the guilty verdict and how that all happened and
the way the trial was conducted was the last straw. People are seeing this now, and it's not just Democrats, it's rank and file Republicans. They don't like Trump for a few reasons. One, he's got a massive ego, and he does, and I can't stand it about him, and and let's be honest, he's not the best person in the world. But we're not electing a pastor. We're electing a president. And the fact of the matter is he kind of represents where America is right now. We're kind of
a base country. It's kind of sketchy with our moral north. So we get we elect who we are. But that said, there is a huge difference between Trump and the and most of the inside the Beltway bureaucrats and elected leaders. He doesn't need their money, and that's dangerous for them. You realize there's an app that's been developed now that models investment strategy completely after what
Congress is investing in. It's a little late, but you get insight on what members of the House and Senate are buying stock in and you can buy stock where they're buying stock. Now, why does that happen? It happens. I got a book sitting here by Peter Schweitzer, Throw them all out. He wrote that fifteen years ago, maybe had him in sat in this
studio talking about it, and legislation came out of it. It was watered down legislation, but it was because members of Congress were engaging in insider trading on both sides of the aisle. Trump's a danger to that. People are giving to Trump for a list of reasons. I mean it is Hewitt gave fifty of them. He channeled his inner Paul Simon. But suffice to say, the reappearance of Maxine Waters is all the evidence you need. They're not
going to stop. That's why they're going to try to put him in jail prison. I should saying they're going to try and strip him of his protection. I personally think he could be shot and killed. He could be killed, he could find his way into an Epstein cell. I mean, I earnestly believe that, and I believe that there are some Republicans that would have their fingerprints on it just as well. Sixteen minutes past the hour, back
with the alarm at the wap hole. I think the basic line was better to have people think you're foolish and an idiot and stupid, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. I think that was more the way it went. But consider the statements of Maxine Waters about confrontational pushback surround them. Make them uncomfortable, and she's now taking individual words. He's he's talking about the Civil War. Yeah, in the context of the divide that's happening in
our country. He's talking about what will happen if we allow this to continue. That's where we're going, and that's where we are going. Friends, That's the whole point.

in, and you can buy stock where they're buying stock. Now, why does that happen? It happens. I got a book sitting here by Peter Schweitzer, Throw them all out. He wrote that fifteen years ago, maybe had him in, sat in this studio talking about it, and legislation came out of it. It was watered down legislation, but it was because members of Congress were engaging in insider trading on both sides of the aisle. Trump's a danger to that. People are giving to Trump for a list of reasons.
I mean it is Hewitt gave fifty of him. He channeled his inner Paul Simon. But suffice to say, the reappearance of Maxine Waters is all the evidence you need. They're not going to stop. That's why they're going to try to put him in jail, prison, I should say, they're going to try and strip him of his protection. I personally think he could be shot and killed. He could be killed, He could find his way
into an Epstein's cell. I mean, I earnestly believe that, and I believe that there are some Republicans that would have their fingerprints on it just as well. Sixteen minutes past the hour, back with the alarm at the wap hole. The story from the news will be our starting point with J. D. Johnson. Carjacking happened in Mississippi, can happen anywhere and is someone's own driveway front yard. Scary scary stuff, So stay with us for our
personal defense segment next hour. Here in the morning show. I alluded to this yesterday because I knew what happened. Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis know anything about him. He's a British media guy, and he called a staff meeting after letting go of the executive editor, Sally Busby. Here's what led to that. Busby, who joined the staff in twenty twenty one,
was out immediately. The reason is they were restructuring the Washington Post into three different newsrooms, and the reason for that was expanded upon by Lewis in the staff meeting. Now, the temporary replacement is the former Wall Street Journal editor in chief, Matt Murray. So get your head around this now. The new editor in chief at the Washington Post is the former editor in chief at the Wall Street Journal, which has a little bit better reputation from a newsworthy
news credibility standpoint. At this stage, Busby wanted Lewis to wait until after the election. Don't make the changes now, don't divide. He said, no, We're doing it right now, and so she's out immediately. Here's
why. According to the report on what happened inside the meeting, Lewis warned that the newsroom cannot afford to be resistant to change, saying that decisive, urgent actions are needed for the company to survive the upevil within the media industry and recent loss of subscribers and revenue, quoting Lewis, We're going to turn this thing around, but let's not sugarcoat it. It needs turning around. We are losing large amounts of money your audience has had in recent years.
People are not reading your stuff right. I can't sugarcoat it anymore. Apparently, then one member of the staff starts to basically have a verbal fight with the boss. Never a good idea, but it went something like the most cynical interpretation sort of feels like you chose two of your buddies to come in and help run the Post, and now we have four white men running three newsrooms. First of all, the rebuttal in and of itself shows a problem
in the Washington Post. We now have four white men running three newsrooms. When you see things through the lens of race, that is all you see. How is that even remotely compatible with the civil rights movement of the nineteen sixties? And the goal as stated by doctor King, which we have a day honoring him, a monument in Washington's honoring him, was to have a color blind society. But somehow now saying colorblind is a dog whistle. Fascinating
to me is that William Lewis has his finger on what's gone wrong. People aren't reading your stuff. I could set up a cottage industry just advising the newspaper industry on how to regain their lost audience. It will take years, but they could stop the bleeding immediately, immediately with an apology, sort of like the medical community. The medical community could regain trust because it all boils down to trust. We do not trust mainstream legacy media. We do not
trust the medical community. Now there are individual pieces and people and parts that we do, but as a group, as a monolith, for each one, we don't trust. The way you begin to regain trust is you take responsibility for the breach of trust and you apologize and you begin from there. Interesting to see what comes now at the Washington Post. Was somebody new running the active news side of this, that was running the Wall Street Journal.
Let's keep an eye on that. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Big Stories in the press Box on Deck Oh, when we have a staff meeting around here of the morning show team, it is something to behold. Victor makes everybody laugh. He really is just a great guy. He's funny. Thirty six minutes past the hour, Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertise Grove a gr o va so elon musk platform X. Little did we know when he renamed it Twitter to X?
I mean, is the guy a porn addict? Is that where this comes from? Or is it just a libertarian streak? I don't know. I don't know. But the site formally known as Twitter, not to be confused with the artist formally known as Anyway pornographic content can be posted on the site, with some restrictions. Quoting from the new Polo see this includes full and partial nudity, including close ups, explicit or implied sexual behavior, or
simulated acts such as sexual intercourse and other sexual acts. As long it is as it is consensually produced and distributed, You may share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior, provided it's properly labeled and not prominently displayed. Huh what does that mean? I mean, Okay, a camera is showing content. How is it not prominently displayed? It's on camera. I mean it's not like we're showing a waterfall over here and then just over there to
the side as a couple doing whatever. And then what about that? What about the the redefinition of shall we say, couples in this day and age? Not that it matters because porn is porn, but it presents a problem for me as it relates to at TMS Preston Scott, the argument can be made, Preston, where are you going to find a safe harbor anywhere? Every site has a problem, has something, Well, not every site has this. I can assure you of that. We would still get in trouble
for the stuff we post on Facebook. Right now, right now, I already got my handslapped by the company for being on Facebook and posting the truth about COVID. Everything I said about COVID that got us heart and trouble because of me. I was right. I was one hundred percent right, and I'm still a little chapped about all that. I'm still a little unhappy that
I got called on the carpet for that when I was right. And so I'm not prone to going back to Facebook and facing all that crap again, not from our company, but from Facebook them deciding and being the arbiter of truth. Excuse me, y'all are the you guys are the purveyors of lies? You didn't You wouldn't know the truth if it swam up and be you in the rear. Sorry mixed metaphor with my Jaws background. Love the movie
Jaws. But what do we do? So We've got a poll going on and and tens of people are probably looking at it, and if you want to weigh in on should we stay or should we go? I just want your opinion. It will not make the deciding. It will not be a deciding factor. It will be considered factor. And so the polls up through the end of the night on Friday. Do we stay or do we go? Share it? Just get your thoughts. Some people are like, get get out of there. Some people are like, no, you need to
stay. People need to hear whatever or see whatever it is you're posting. So I have mixed feelings about all that. The other big story is Biden. Biden citing an executive order to shut down most of the southern border at midnight last this this morning. That just makes me laugh. Come on, even if you're a Biden sick of fan, that's gotta just you gotta be like rolling your eyes. Really, you've been saying there's no issue for how
long? Now forty one minutes after the hour back with mediocre male athletes, I mean not, well, never mind, why is it still happening? I noticed a young sixteen year old girl scored for the US women's national soccer team last night in a friendly match South Korea. Maybe three nothing. US win, a rare win these days, they're not dominant, you know, rare. It might be an unfair word. US women have gone to Colin Kaepernick route. You know, Colin Kaepernick did not get any job in the
NFL because he wanted to be an activist, and that's fine. Again, the NFL's made the mistake in not saying, no, you don't have the right to do that. The free speech argument doesn't apply. It just doesn't. There are lots of things I can't say on this program if I want to keep my job. Oh, but I have a right to say it. Well, in a way, I kind of do, and I have a right to be fired. I can say it, but it'll be the
last time I say it as an employee. We've got the full list coming up at eight oh five Thank you, part of our Personal Defense segment. If the NFL had said to Colin Kaepernick, no, you don't have a right to do that. Now, you can go hold a press conference somewhere after. You're doing your job as a quarterback and an employee of the NFL. But you don't have any right to take a knee during a game. None. None. You're an employee. Do what you're told. Sorry,
That's the way it works for every employee everywhere. US women's national team quit being dominant not because of the rise of women's play internationally, but because the US fielded a team full of activists, enough activists that it watered down the ability to compete, And you have women on that team, saying I wouldn't care if a trans women ended up on this team. Oh yeah, you
would when it cost you your position. And then I remind everybody the under fifteen team from Dallas of boys that beat the US women's national team like a drum in an exhibition years ago. And it happens here and there, But now we've got actual damage being done. We chronicled the story a week or two ago of a runner in Oregon that took the state title away from biological
girls in a track event. Aiden Gallagher won the state championship. I think it was the four hundred meter, maybe it was the two hundred meter and was booed rightfully. So now you've got Veronica Garcia, a dude won the four hundred meter state title in Washington. Hmm, Oregon, Washington, how about that? That stuff seems to happen to the left coast and complained about
the lack of sportsmanship when he won the girls state title. I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering for the rest of them when they were called, so I guess I expected that to be reciprocated, but I didn't get that. No, because you're a dude. And oh, by the way, this dude is not taking anything, no hormones, nothing, He just claims he's a goal. See in Washington, there are no requirements. It's however you identify people. This has to stop. It just does.
And as often as I see us winning a battle here or there, we're losing ground. Parents. You have to talk to the young ladies in your family that are competing in various events. You have to make it clear because the governing bodies in these states do not do the right thing. They do not have the courage to do the right thing. Though privately I can almost assure you they all think this is wrong, they won't they won't summon the
courage to say it publicly. The only way this stops is to stop competing. It's the only way. Forty seven minutes after the Hour, Florida Man Factor fiction and more. Next. This is really good news, especially for those of you going on trips. No, I mean it. You're making some roadies the the nations in the OPEK plus group. It's now OPEK plus
it's kind of like LGBTQ plus. This is now OPEK plus have agreed to continue keeping daily oil output lower by nearly four million barrels per day quoting from the release, to support the stability and balance of the oil markets. Is that great? Isn't that great to know the uh so they're going to continue
the output cuts that that happened last year. And of course, we who were a net exporter of oil at the end of the Trump administration, are now releasing street Egic oil reserves to try to keep gas prices in check till say, I don't know November. This is what I meant when I talked yesterday about if it's not intentional, what is it. Think about the list
of countries that are in OPEC that we are buying our oil from. The Saudis, the Ruskies, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman all such good friends, all of them, they're all buddies. So just in time for your summer travels, All right, it's time John gets to play Florida Man fact or fiction. This is where I read three headlines and you and John have to discern which one's the real headline Headline
number one Florida man loses fistfight with cat. Headline number two, Florida man shoots at coworker's mother over sandwich order. Headline number three Florida man tells police bag of cocaine found in car must have blown in from the wind. I've told you all of them are plausible, but only one is real. A one, two or three. Server Number three sounds very real. I'm gonna go with number two, Florida man shoots at coworker's mother over sandwich order.
That was my sandwich, send no pickles. Actually, the correct answer is number one, Florida man loses fistfight with cat. Just doesn't get better than that. See that helps you better know what stories to send me for Florida Man stories. I've told you, if it's a heinous crime, it's not going there. It's gotta be the it's gotta be my guy kind of Florida Man stories. Had a little too much to drink, decided to build a rocket to the moon. Billy don got a little loose, you know.
Back with JD. Johnson next. Somehow we have made it to the third hour Wednesday. Here on the Morning Show, with Preston Scott unscathed. Well, for the most part, you're right, absolutely, but it's still an hour lab, there's still silent, there's still plenty of time. At show fifty one seventy three. It is Wednesday, June fifth, which means it's the first Wednesday of the month, which means it's time, my friends personal defense. We do it on the first and third Wednesdays of each month,
and think about that for a second. We talk personal defense twice a month, because that's how screwed up our country is. And we are joined by co host of Talent Outdoors, co founder of the Talent Training Group. He is our friend and that probably goes on the top of the resume. Now friend of the morning show, Jadi Johnson. How you doing, I'm doing great? How about you? S Like I said, it's a you know, we were just looking at a video of an event that we're going to
talk about here. Would you have ever imagined when you started law enforcement, our society getting to a place where we have been, maybe not so much this moment, but in general over the last few years. Yeah, I feel a lot like no Country for old men. I kind of thing. Sometimes if you've ever seen that movie. Is this sheriff has a really hard time wrapping his head around the world as it is, And I kind of
feel that way sometime, I really do. I showed you a video and where I want to start is one of however, many hundreds of carjackings happen a day in America. This one happened in what appeared to be kind of a rural slash sort of kind of suburban neighborhood in Mississippi. Grandma's coming home and she's got her kids and her grandkids in the car. They pull in
their driveway and then all of a sudden, explain what you saw. It looked to me like you had several, uh, several guys, a couple of three guys waiting in the street on the edge of the yard and waited for them to pull in the driveway. And as soon as they got out,
when I'm fired a shot. I couldn't really tell up in the air, I assume to kind of get their attention and let them know what was what was about to happen, and they basically just walked in on them as they after after a couple of them have gotten out of the car and car was in park and the shot was doors open, shot fired. Now, let me just ask you, and I know we can't read the minds of bad guys. That said, the warning shot by the bad guy that appears
to me to be kind of unusual. Yeah, was that a signal? Just do what we're going to tell you and you're not gonna get killed. Yeah, I've got a gun, it works, give me what I want. And so at that point, if something like that were to have happened, the average person could almost read from that, Okay, this guy's not interested in killing me. Yeah. Otherwise he would have yeah, or at
least fired at him. You have seen. It wouldn't have been a right just to pop. And so at this point though, you saw basically the grandmother and the kids, the parents of the little kids, they all seem to do pretty much the right thing. Yeah, they did. They they realized they were and you know, I don't know if they were armed.
I'm going to assume they probably were not. But even in that situation, if you're armed, one of the things you really want to avoid as a as a concealed carrier, as a person that carries the fighting, you really want to avoid that fifty to fifty gunfight, which means you've got a gun in your hand, bad guy's got a gun in his hand, your ex distance apart, and everybody's on the same timeframe. Is it simplified to say, then that is a case of discretion being the better part of our Absolutely.
Absolutely. Even if she, let's just say hypothetically, the two of them that first got out of the car, let's say both of them were armed, they're at a huge disadvantage because their gun is not in their hand. A bad guy obviously already had his gun out in his hand, so it's gonna take you. As a concealed carrier. If somebody's pointing a gun at you, you're two seconds at very best. That's if you practice drawing and firing on a regular basis, and you're proficient with a draw and getting
around on target, you're two seconds behind that guy automatically. If he's got a gun in his hand, his finger on the trigger, and he's got it pointed at you, he's gonna have two seconds to shoot at you before you can get your first shot off. And two seconds is an eternity. I was just gonna say, just to illustrate the time advantage. That's two seconds. Yeah, how many times? Well, I mean I can tell you a person that is proficient guns out sites aligned finger on the trigger.
If you're pulling the trigger as fast as you can in two seconds, you can fire approximately eight shots. You figure a quarter of a second per trigger pull. If you're proficient, that's eight shots. That's so Yeah, the potential of getting hit before you get the potential of you getting hit multiple times. Yeah, we're going to talk about was there any way for this family to avoid this with awareness? And then we're going to talk about what are
locations where our awareness needs to be at its highest. That's next j D. Johnson with me of the Talent Training Group. It's Personal Defense on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Back with Jad Johnson of the Talent Training Group. We're talking about a carjacking and carjackings happen now in front yards and driveways, at businesses, at all kinds of places. Before we go into the awareness factor, just based on the limited amount of information we have from looking
at that video, this was probably not avoidable. I don't yeah, probably not just looking at everything you see there, I mean, there are neighborhoods where you have a lot of foot traffic up and down the street you have there is no routine. Yeah, there's no routine there. You know, a lot of the congested neighborhoods. It's it's highly likely now depending on where you live, if you see somebody I mean, I live on a dead end street. True, there's no pass through, there's you you don't accidentally
come down my street. So if I see somebody walking that's not one of my neighbors up and down the street, that's gonna draw my attention. You know. But when you were patrolling the neighborhoods that were or you know, commonplace to you, some you could notice something out of the ordinary. Others there was no way to notice right exactly exactly right, it's you know.
So it's just all depends on what's out of place in your place. So in terms of learning from this episode, the first rule would be you've got to make some level of ascertainment of your where you live, what your routine looks like or doesn't look like. Yep, exactly right. When it comes to awareness, I wrote down places where I just intuitively think awareness needs to be at its highest because if there's one word that we talk about over and over with you and Charlie and me. It is it? Well, it's
the term situational awareness. It's being aware of your surroundings at all times. I'm gonna throw some lists out heading home just being aware. Yep. Stations absolutely, gas stations, any parking lot at big box stores or strip malls or grocery stores, that kind of thing. Gas stations. I moved it up on the list because for a lot of people, the keys are in
the car. Yeah, it's a really easy target for someone that wants to take your car absolutely and things blow up around there that when there's sparks and things right yep, self service car washes, Yeah, yeah, you're occupied doing something scrubbing the car. You know, your your mind is somewhere else. You're you're worried about getting the getting the dirt off your dirt off your
car and paying attention to that. It's noisy, yep, very loud, uh, very lot of lot of alcoves and and different areas or whatever. Not a lot of effort for somebody to walk around from one side of the wall to the other when you're occupied. What about banks? Uh, you know, is that a different kind of targeting at a bank. Yeah, it really is, you know. And and you have places where you have a lot of employees that are that are you know, a bank is already
there. They're kind of they kind of live on alert at a bank because of what they're dealing with money. You know. That's why that's why people rob banks, because that's where the money's at. So banks, you know, you don't really hear a lot about maybe maybe banks after hours where you have ATM machines and night deposits, drive up ATM machines, ATM machines in general, walk up ATM machines at night and uh, you know, we've
all had to do it at some point in time. Uh, you know, at least it was fairly common back in the day for robberies at ATM machines to happen. And if you're that person that makes that night time deposit, by all means, please change your routine up. Yes, yes, may consider dropping it off the next morning on the way down or something. Yeah, yeah, doing it differently. I'm curious, you know, I know that you and I share a common faith. I believe that we are
all spiritual beings. Whether anybody realizes recognized as acknowledges it or not. And I think what a lot of people call women's intuition is really just there, the Holy Spirit just kind of active in them. I think we all just kind of have this discernment to know something's just not sitting right when you're driving through a parking lot, or there's just something in you saying this is sketchy.
Yeah, oh, no question. I can tell you as a you know, as a law enforcement officer back in the day, there were times when you know, I just got that hair standing up on the back of my neck for a second, and I didn't know necessarily exactly why. But it's there's been several times when I've turned around and ridden back through the same area because I got that the spidey sense or the Holy Spirit speaking to you or whatever you want to call it. Right, you know, I've experienced
that numerous times. Learned to listen to that. Yeah, because you can shop later or whatever the case might be. Absolutely go to a different place. Well, it's kind of where we started the segment. It's stuff, if it's your car, it's just stuff. It's whatever to live for another day, Yes, sir, all right, when we come back. I've gotten questions via email on ammunition. We're gonna zero in on ammo related questions
next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. J D. Johnson of the Talent Training Group, my guest Jade Johnson with me personal defense here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. As I mentioned, I've gotten questions emails. We get a lot of questions. We inspire conversation, which I'm grateful for because ultimately that's our goal. Our goal is to get you talking about this stuff so that you can better protect yourself, your family, your loved
ones in whatever situation you find. And so inevitably comes come questions about the nuts and bolts of it all. And ammunition is a fascinating you are like, I don't want to be I don't want to turn this into a pejority, but you are a gun nerd. I mean, you are all about it all, and I don't know of anybody as knowledgeable as you in my life. So on the subject of ammunition, can ammunition go bad to the
point that it becomes dangerous? Dangerous in the aspect that it may blow up kind of thing where you've had ammunition sitting in storage, and not that it would just blow up, but that using it then becomes your compromise because its shelf life is whatever, not really not likely, Holly, I've never I've never heard of that. Okay, what I have seen and heard of. Is it dangerous in the fact that it may not work when you really need
it to work. That's the dangerous side of it to me. Well, that's where I wanted to go next because I had a feeling that's what the answer would be. So what are ways first to mitigate any degradation in the ammunition as you store it? Yeah? Uh, hermetically seal it with some with maybe a dessicant pack in there. You can buy dessicant packs, the little packs of the little gel the little things that come in electronics when you're supposed to abu say those things. We to get pack stuff and I can
throw it in there. So keep it away from the humidity that we that we So storing it in the garage is not a smart place to store it. No, it's not. It's it's not horrible because even your garage is not as hot as outside in the shed or whatever. And you don't better then don't want the ginormous temperature fluctuations. It's not really good for it. Humidity is the biggest killer. Is that where the gail packs come in. Those those you put it in a Yeah, you put it in a the
dessicate Uh, you put it in a Uh. That's a big word for Retten Neck. Now I'm here on me too. So Ammo cans, the military Amo cans, that's what they're made for. They have a rubber seal around the outside of them. You can also Charlie came up with one of the best things duck hunters deal with this all the time is your your shotgun shells that you duck hunt with. If you take a box of shells hunting with you, they're gonna get damp duck hunting. He was the shrink wrapping
the freezer, shrink wrap stuff the vacuum ceiling. Yea ten or twelve shotgun shells in a in a pack and then open that ten or twelve and you're you know, use those and then you open another pack. So he was making basically battle packs. They sell battle packs for the military or the military has ammo packs like that. Kid, So keeping the morture outs big deal.
When you talk about defense rounes. How often should you change out your defense rounds that are in your fire and because I mean we try not to shoot with them because they're really expensive. Yeah, I would say a year, about once a year. Maybe that's two down for me. I've made mistakes on you know, it depends on where those defense rounds are living. If they're on you every day and you're in the rain and you're in the cold in the winter time and you're in the heat in the summertime, you're
exposing those particular rounds that are in your firearm. You're exposing your rounds to all those bad things. But if not, now I've never seen them go oh if not, just storm like any other ammunition, you know, dry cool, not a lot of temperature fluctuations. Don't put them in the attic, don't put them by the storage shed kind of thing, and pressing. I fired ammunition that's one hundred years old, literally, you know, stuff
from military surplus ammo in old guns. Some of that stuff is seventy five. I've fired World War two era you know, made in the forties. You look at the head stamp on it in nineteen forty five headstamp forty five ACP that will stored properly works just fine. Last question, the actual differences between personal defense and full metal jacket Is it the way that the actual round
the projectile performs on. Yes, that's exactly what is. Full metal jackets made for shooting targets and hollow points or some type of expanding round is made for shooting people or flesh. That's not to say that an FMJ cannot hurt something. Oh it hurt. Yeah, it's just more likely to over penetrate, go all the way through your but it's target not made to expand. What it gets doesn't expand it doesn't slow down as fast. You know,
it may penetrate. If you're just talking about gelatin, it may penetrate twenty four inches of gelatin, where a personal defense round is going to penetrate twelve inches of gelatin. More to come. We're going to talk about training next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott because I have to, and we're back Jadi Johnson with me from the Talent Training Group, co host Talent Outdoors.
We're talking personal defense. Now we're going to training. We're going to try to be a little bit more disciplined in these segments and get to some training content. Each time we visit with JD and Charlie, I'm going to ask you to fill in the blank. A beginning shooter should be able to hit a six inch diameter target at ten yards really consistently every shot. You should be you should that should be what you're striving to do. You take a
six inch diameter plate. You know we have headplate racks out there. That's the diameter the headplate racks. You should consistently, at not a far distance seven to ten yards, you should consistently be able to hit inside that. That's that's the first striving strive to be Where that gets boring to you.
I'm going to assume that most people know that the talent ranges, whether it's the one midway in the Tallahassee, Leon County, Gadsden County area, or the one in Dothan, Alabama. I'm going to assume that that they understand getting training is absolutely one of the smartest things you can do best spent money. You can't buy your way into shooting well, other than paying for somebody
to teach you how to shoot. You can't buy enough good equipment. You know, I see guys with with that spend all this money on gear and zero money on training or coaching or whatever you want to call it, and they wonder why they they want to trade their really expensive gun in on another more expensive gun like that, the more money they spend on a gun is
going to make ime a better shooter, and that's not the case. Well, it's not all that different from golf, where they think buying the six hundred dollars driver is going to help them hit the ball straighter, and if you don't know how to swing the precisely the same thing. So we have now at targets. When you mentioned a plate, the reality is is there are paper targets and then for example a talon you have you have a few
bays set up with steel targets. What's this what's the smartest place for someone to spend time that's a beginning shooter with paper or steal. I would say paper to start with, because you can you can see more readily see where you're hitting. You know, the steel targets you paint them white, you get you know, when you shoot them, you get a black spot, you get a dan. You know you're hitting there somewhere. But you may
not know your precision. How you don't know where your misses are right, Whereas the paper target is a large rectangular thing where you if you're missing that from seven yards, you've got an issue. Yeah, you definitely need to be working on that. So you're a beginner and you're board. Now you're drilling that target at seven to ten yards six inch target. What's next?
Being able to do it either handed? I would say, hm, with with either with either hand, working your left hand your right hand, depending on which one your dominant one, work with the other one. Get where you can do that with the other one. You never know, Preston, you may you know, you may get hurt, and we're talking about things that can get you hurt. Sure, you may need to know how to use the other hand. When we come back, we're going to continue this
steps in training. I understand some of you are past all of this, but I also know darn good and well that a bunch of you aren't. So we're gonna keep talking about training. Jade Johnson with me here from the Talent Training Group and just saying in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Final segment here with JD. Johnson of the Talent Training group talentrange dot com website where you can go best Concealed Carry class and I've got personal experience to share
with you on that. But we're talking about training, and a beginner should be able to drill a six inch plate with accuracy from seven to ten yards before moving on. Yep, then you start working. You know, next
would be starting to work on speed and just general gun handling. That's that's one of the biggest being comfortable with whatever firearm you carry, and there's really no specifics to that, but being able to lock the slide back to take the magazine out, work on reloads, you know, being able to get the magazine out, get the gun when you run out of ammunition, get that empty mag out, get a fresh mag in operating the gun without having
to think about it. You know. One of the things that occurs to me is obviously, you know, get training that may make sense, but there are things that you can learn from just someone that knows and has been proficient at shooting for years. Little things like you you mentioned the reload part. You know, don't necessarily have to load all of your magazines to full capacity, load it with one or two rounds, fire them, and get
used to trading them out. That's one of the best drills ever is load all your magazines with two rounds and practice going through, getting your hits on paper, doing it quickly, and reloading and coming back up again. Take every magazine you have, put two rounds in it. That's a fantastic drill. But you're working on all the things. You're working on speed, accuracy,
and gun handling. I see a lot of people that start out shooting and the gun will run dry and they're standing there on the line, gun still pointed at the target with the slide lock to the rear or the cylinder empty, and they're pulling the trigger and snapping, you know, no awareness, Yeah, no awareness that their gun is not working anymore. And you
know, I see it all the time. Or they'll stand there still focused on the target with slide lock to the rear, and that's a you know, a gun with no ammunition in it or with slidelock to the rear, it just makes a really bad boat anchor. It's not it's not a serviceable weapon anymore. So you have to be in that automatic without thinking about it. You know, when that semi automatic firearm tells you that it's empty and
slidelocks to the rear. The first automatic step should be dumping that magazine, hitting the magazine release, getting it out and getting a fresh mag and getting it reloaded. When shooting with friends or my son's whom you know, one of the things that will do from time to time. We don't do it every time, but from time to time is we'll put dummy rounds in magazines to simulate basically a malfunction. YEP. Stoppage clearance drills are also very important.
Whatever the stoppage is, it could be a bad round, It could be a stovepiper, failure to eject, it could be a double feed, a failure to extract. You need to know how to fix all those things. If you're carrying a semi automatic weapon and it's and that's where it's helpful to go with somebody else to the range because they can load your magazine so you don't know when that dummy round's coming, and all of a sudden you've got it and you've got to react. YEP. And that's a huge deal.
Minimum number of trips needed to remain competent and safe. Is it very does it? Very or there's a general rule. It does vary. It depends on how much training you've had in the past. It doesn't, you know, it's kind of like riding a bicycle to some degree. It doesn't. Your skills don't go away. You may get rusty. Uh, if you haven't been in a while and you go shoot, you're gonna you're gonna
get back to to speed quicker than a new shooter will. But I would say in the beginning, at least once a month, maybe twice a month. Yeah, trips to the range to get proficient. You you know, help hopefully with a coach or somebody that knows what they're doing or in structor or whatever. Whether you're play, does it run. Let's say someone's listening out there, they've taken the class, they've got their concealed carry, they just want to get a little bit better. What does it cost? So
we do private lessons. It's forty dollars an hour with a two hour minimum. So you can get a coach to come out there, an instructor to come out there with you for eighty bucks. If you remember the range and you know you're paying for the amos, but you're paying that guy to be there. You're looking at about eighty bucks a trip, so that is as
that's the best eighty dollars you will spend in your shooting life. Yeah, even if you only do that once, and that guy is going to help you have some drills to do it or teach you how to train yourself. Because we all have kind of patterns of missus, right, I mean, everyone kind of snatches a trigger a certain way and makes the same kinds of mistakes. I see people that come in the range or come into the store all the time and there's something wrong with my gun. It needs the sites
need to be fixed or whatever, and I go, it's right. You shoot a right handed shooter. You're a right handed shooter. Okay, let me guess you're hitting low into the left. Yeah, I said, it ain't the gun, but you know it's that's an indicative of a of somebody uh anticipating and recoil drinking. Sure you know that that low left for a right handed shooter, low right for a left handed shooter is very indicative. If you're shooting high above the target, you're doing one of one or two
things that instructor is gonna pick up. If you're hitting high. You're either looking over the top of the sights or you're what we call healing the gun. You're elevating the front site to try to see it better, and you're going to shoot high, you know. I mean, it's just it. A good instructor is going to pick up on that and tell you what you're doing wrong. The way you fix it is with dummy rounds in the magazine. By the way, Yeah, that's how you fix a lot of trigger.
You show how you're snatching it. You can see it, you can see it. It's just you got me. You can tell I've done that once or twice, all right. JD. Johnson. That's why we have him, because he knows more than you do. It's good to have you here, sir, Thank you, Thank you, sir. Forty eight minutes past the hour. Talent Training Group or Talentrange dot Com.

I worked in high school at a record store at the mall named Hastings, Okay, and we had a good byetape, you know, kind of a wrap up your purchases and happy trails.
You're kidding that nice? It played out of like the cash register we had. It's a record store, so we had a sound system to play new releases, so you would play that when someone was checking out, not checking out at the end of the day. Yeah, okay, okay, So at the end of the day you would set the tone by yeah, nice trails. Yeah. Absolutely, Hey, don't sing that on key or
