Transcript

I believe. Now I am ready, I shall begin. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, men and women, boys and girls, males and females only, Show number fifty one eighty nine of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am Preston. He is Grant Allan in the flesh, back in the saddle. Just today, he's just here for today and then maybe next week. One day he's just helping out. It's a tag team effort around. Yeah. The producer to be named later, to be named later.

We heard just the echo of his voice yesterday for one brief shining moment who shall it be? And today he walked in wearing wearing an outfit that just left me laughing. Just yeah, boy. Yesterday it was the guy Fieri blonde tipped, white tipped hair app two thousands. Yeah, I mean the actual visor with the hair sewn in. And today he actually trumped it. He actually raised at another another level. That's the kind of energy you have to have, you know, to sit in this seat from time to time.

You gotta you gotta just be able to Did you ever once I summon that kind of energy in all three years? No, you didn't, Thank you very much, much anyway, good to have Grant back in the saddle today. He is working with the producer to be named later. And you know, we're just continuing the I mean, we're exposing We're exposing the producer to be named later to all that we have here. We have Jared who

does afternoons at X one on one point five. We have of course our boss John Lund, who can be heard in the afternoons on Sonny one whatever that is, and running twelve radio stations, which is I don't know how he does that. I mean, it's like having twelve children. You just sometimes have to just say, hey, hold still, who are you? I know I'm Dad, but who are each of you? I mean, you know, I mean it's like there's so many. I don't know how he does it, truthfully, I don't know. And then, of course

the now producer emeritus of the program. I mentioned David Allen the other day, the former program director and producer of the show, and he was just ecstatic that he got mentioned. He said, it made my heart so happy that I got to mention on the show. So imagine now if he's listening live, or if he comes back and listens to the podcast We're going to

just make his day because we're starting the show talking about David. No relation by the way between David Allen and Grant Allen, just happenstance, just kind of that thing. All right. Our verse of the day Proverbs fourteen thirty four, tell me we are not on a theme here again. A few weeks ago we had a theme just bubble up that was about being still being quiet and knowing He is God. And day after day the devotional was popping

up scriptures and it wasn't one devotional. It was different devotionals that that I pull from and scriptures that I was kind of nudged to. All of it dealing with Now, what are we doing. I'll talk about it a little more later. We are following the lead of the State of Tennessee, and I have challenged you to join in on a thirty day window of prayer and fasting for your family, for your community, for your state, for your

nation, for people around the world. I mentioned yesterday the I don't know if you saw this, the suicide attack in Nigeria female suicide bombers, and we connected the possible dots were those girls that pulled the plug on themselves and blew themselves up in Nigeria, the same girls that were kidnapped by the Islamic extremist group Boco Aram ten years ago. Probably that's why we pray. We pray to break the hole that evil has on this world our verse today.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. That's why we're praying. Ten minutes past the hour, Preston Scott, can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me surely. On news radio one point SEVENUFLA Dwell past the hour deep dive in the American page, here's Almanac under July third. What I'm about to share related by a Union Army veteran in al Long's Memoirs of Robert E. Lee is said to have taken place on July third,

eighteen sixty three, the last day in the Battle of Gettysburg. It speaks of an American brotherhood that in the end transcended that terrible war, quoting I was at the Battle of Gettysburg myself, if I had been a most bitter anti south Man and fought and cursed the confederates desperately. I could see nothing good in any of them. The last day of the fight, I was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from Cemetery Ridge, and as General Lee ordered his retreat,

he and his officers rode near me. As they came along, I recognized him, and, though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raised up my hands, looked Leigh in the face, and shouted as loud as I could, Hurrah for the Union. The General heard me, looked, stopped his horse, dismounted, and came toward me. I confess that I at first thought he meant to kill me, But as he came upon me, he looked down at me with such a sad expression upon his face that

all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about. He extended his hand to me, grasping mine firmly, looking right into my eyes, said my son, I hope you will be soon well. If I live to be a thousand years, I shall never forget the expression of General Lee's face. There. He was defeated, retiring from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope. Yet he stopped to say words like those to a wounded soldier of the opposition who had taunted him as he

passed by. As soon as the general left, I cried myself too deep to sleep there upon the bloody ground. Wow, what a note, huh? Anyone doubting that story? Al long? And it's a memoir that you can buy at the bookstores. Eighteen sixty three, On this date, the end of the Battle of Gettysburg eighteen ninety, Idaho becomes the forty third state. That's kind of crazy in and of itself. By eighteen ninety we had forty three states. That just seems remarkable to me that we expanded expanded to

the west that fast. Eighteen ninety eight US Navy defeats the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago, Cuba Sorry, during the Spanish American War. Eighteen eighty six, President Reagan presides over the rededication of the one hundred year old, newly renovated Statue of Liberty. I've been there once. It was pretty cool, pretty cool to be there and to ascend up partially inside, and I mean Ellis Island. It's just it's a place that everyone should go.

Absolutely positively. Hey, Today on the program, we got Florida Man Factor fiction. We've got five facts from the month of June courtesy of our friend Scott Beacon at the Beeline. Blogger JD. Johnson joins us in the third hour. We'll have some specific training related information as well as we're going to talk about some things that are in the news that overlap personal defense. JD is certainly not one shy to sh share his opinion, so we'll get that.

Don't forget the blog page loaded with stuff right now. By the way, breaking news, at least twenty five members of the House that are Democrats are meeting with Biden allegedly today soon to talk him into stepping down to not seek reelection. All of a sudden, you see Kamala Harris being energized and built up with fluff pieces. Friends, I have underwear in my drawer that's smarter than Kamala Harris. Please let her run sixteen minutes after the hour Morning

show. Sorry, it's funny. Joey Chestnut is not going to be competing at Coney Island because, I mean, how can he be upset at Nathan's for saying, dude, you're representing a fake meat company. Yeah, that's his sponsor. It's uh, it's it's not even I'll be Franks now, it's the fake meat stuff. Yes, how can you be mat We're Nathan's hot Dogs. You buy him at the store. By the way, I've

been to the Nathans at Coney Island. Really, Yes, it is epically cool to say that you've been and you've had a hot dog, get a real one from the real thing at Coney Island. It's incredible. So the hot dog contest is going to happen. But Joey is doing a hot dog eating contest, I'm curious by himself. No, at Fort Bliss, Texas in El Paso. Yeah, against some guys in the army. That's interesting, and that's gonna happen tomorrow. I don't expect he'll get the attention he

wants. He is a bit of an attention whore. But that's I mean, it's okay, though, I mean, look, the guy's making a living eating food. I mean it's America, right, I mean if that doesn't say America, nothing does. What do you do for a living? I'm a professional eater and the guy stastes a thin Yes, he's gotta just have that ultra high metabolism, or he doesn't keep anything down he puts a finger in the back of his throat. Yeah, got, that's gotta be

that's got to be the play in there. Anyway, I personally, personally, I think the hot dog eating contest needs to go one of two ways. Either A remove the bun altogether and it's about eating hot dogs. Or b you leave the bun, but you cannot dunk it in water because that's just gross. It's gross and it doesn't feel like I would think that would make it well maybe I don't know. I just think it because it's all clogged, like the hot dog in the bun all starts to congeal together that

it almost makes it more challenging to get down. Well, that's what they do, so the you know, the professional eaters, that's what they do. What do I know? But I mean, when you see that they're dunking the bun in in water and then shoving it in and letting it first, you gotta get bass the gag reflex just with that alone. But the fact of the matter is that's not the way any of us eat hot dogs. So yeah, I mean, if you're gonna have a hot dog eating

contest. Throw the relish, throw them, put the mustard on there. But at the very least, don't dunk the bun in water. That's just I mean, I feel like I'm channeling my inner Doctor Evil. That's just plink gross. Yeah, you know, that's just anyway. You know, nothing's changed since you've left the show. I'm still obsessed with auctions classic, but this is interesting because, I mean, bless his heart, Willie Mays has barely been dead how long now a month? Yeah, and they're already

auctioning off his stuff. Oh that's horrible. Yeah. Golden Auctions in New Jersey they are doing a second Willie May's auction. They've already had one, and in fact they they got rid of. I think it was Golden. It was this stuff in some sort of trust that the family was just like, yeah, go ahead. I know. The June Elite auction featured May's Type one photos and oh, by the way, the Type one is from fifty one. It's an original photograph from his rookie debut game in nineteen fifty

one at the age of twenty. Wow, I don't know what it's sold for. Jackie Robinson sold for one hundred thousand dollars a couple of decades ago, so I'm guessing lot of money. Yeah, But what's going for auction in July is his baseball glove from seventy to seventy two. Now, not the the glove that I mean, the famous catch over the shoulders. Yeah, no, this was this was a game used McGregor's case, one p baseball glove and it'll be interesting to see what it goes up for auction,

what the price will be. You know. The president of Golden Auction says it was actually molded into his hand. It's got his actual blood, sweat and tears in the glove, which raises the demand, makes it more valuable, you hope. So that's for sure, but we'll see, we'll see where that goes. Come back with the big stories in the press box next.

Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with President Scott. Thirty five minutes after the hour, Democrats in the House saying we're going to aggressively

father the Supreme Court after the ruling on immunity. Stay in your lane, now, can you what would the reaction be of the mainstream media if the Supreme Court announced it was going to be aggressively keeping an eye on Congress fascist Court exactly, and they would be they would be suggesting that the Court was outside of its place, that there are three branches, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Thank you very much, we are the legislator.

Stay in your glane. That's exactly what they would say. That's exactly what they would say. And so the fact that we're sitting here right now and what they're gonna aggressive oversight whatever, Okay, does that mean you're gonna look at their rulings even more closely. It's a bullying tactic. I can't stand it. It's like I just want to slap them. This is big stories in the press box. The sentencing of Trump has been delayed to September.

The District Attorney in New York, Alvin Bragg, and his team have agreed to delay sentencing because they now have to go back and figure out whether these are any part of his case was based on his time in office, if it was bolstered in any way, if the case the prosecution. First, let's just set aside the obvious, which was it was a rigged trial from the beginning, never a victim, no loan's ever not paid back, no one financially damaged or hurt. But because they just don't like him,

they resurrected some laws and decided to prosecute it. Will Trump will win on appeal. But this was never about that. The whole case was about trying to find a way to keep him from becoming president. They were absolutely fine with being overruled next year. Fine with that, absolutely fine. Trust me, Alvin Bragg will be rewarded. You mark my words on this. Oh yeah, brag at some point in his career for reasons that you'll sit back and go, why's he got that job? Is going to be rewarded.

Yeah, that's how their network works within the left right. You do something like you prove your chops, and you get rewarded with this fluff position heading up some federal agency with a pay raise. You take one for the team. You get a little muddied up because your ruling was your case was thrown

out in appeal. It's okay, But my point is that this delay to September whatever, they now have to figure out whether any part of the case they made was based on anything that happened when Trump was in office, because if they used anything in the prosecution to bolster their case, even though the case had nothing to do with his quote time as president, if they used his time at president as president to bolster the case, the case is thrown

out. They got to do it again. So we'll see to want to see woman awarded nearly seven hundred thousand dollars after being fired for refusing the COVID nineteen vaccine. Sorry, shot, it's not a vaccine. It never was a vaccine. She was fired from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee. So she gets seven hundred thousand dollars federal jury. Federal jury. Now hers work was based on religious reasons. I'm still waiting for someone to just say the

simplest the Okham's razor approach. There was no shot that could protect you from a coronavirus. There still isn't. Arkansas Attorney General is suing Timu, the Chinese company that sends you cheap crap. Well, here's the thing. It may be imitation crap of brands, it may not be. They're out allegation in Arkansas is interesting. The allegation is Timu sells things at a loss for a for one reason, only to get you to sign up and get an

account, and then they're stealing your data. I can believe that. Yeah. The allegation is that they designed the company to not make a profit because what they're profiting off of is getting into your phone, your device, and to collect your data. It's an interesting it's an interesting case. One more big story. We'll get to it next. All right. This is why I really enjoy doing the show, because I get to occasionally be a little

coentrarian with even our side. Now there are people rightfully concerned about men competing against women. It's wrong. We've been on this since before it was an issue. We were talking about this on the program. But there's reaction out there in certain circles about a transgendered runner representing the United States and the Olympics. You can't rely on headlines. You've got to look deeper because it's just not the case. The runner, and in fact, I watched her run.

She won the fifteen hundred meter trial for the United States in the Olympic Trials. I watched quite a bit of the Olympic Trials on a lot of the sports. And her name is Nicky Hilts and she's good evidence by the field she beat and the time she ran she is identifying as a transgender non binary. But here's all that matters. She's a biological female running against biological

females, period end. And that's all that honestly, If you don't want to, if you don't want to get trapped into the constant firing squad of you know you're a bigot. No, you're a bigot. I don't care how somebody thinks about themselves in the grand sense of that. Just don't expect me to be part of your delusion. And if you're a biological female and you want to compete against biological females but you think you're non binary, I don't care. No, really, I don't care, and I'll tell you

why I don't care, because I don't care. If there's a little girl out there want to be the best basketball player she can be, and in her dreams she dreams of being like Michael Jordan. I identify with Michael Jordan with my basketball skills. Good on you, girlfriend, I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. She's a biological female who will be running against biological females in the Olympics. Go get them whatever the rest doesn't matter.

And that's where we've got to be a little picky. We have to we have to be laser focused on the issue. And the issue is biological men competing against women. That we cannot allow that. We must turn our back to that. We must say no as parents and not allow our daughters to compete against boys, period end. But this, Nah, it's not the same. Go get them, by the way, We've got some We've got some people in the Olympics coming that. We had some world records, world

records fall four hundred meter hurdles for women. Galley has been running for America. The field. It was like secretariat at the Belmont. Where's everybody else? She blew everybody away. It's gonna be fun to watch some of it. Forty six minutes past the hour, Preston Scott. Thursday is fourth of July. We will not be here. We will not be here Friday back on Monday Day. So we got a short week. This is the final show of the week. Jad Johnson in the third hour personal Defense segment.

We've got a lot to get done, including Florida Man Factor fiction, Grant Allen back in the seat producing the broadcast today, but in a training capacity as producer emeritus of the program with the producer to be named later. And I'm thinking Monday we might begin to get some maretime here for our producer in waiting. But the training, look, the training curve is tough. This is not an easy gig. I liken this to learning to fly an airplane.

No, really having gone through training and soloed. The amount of material that you're taking in and the repetition that's needed to really be proficient at it, it's very similar. I was telling the producer to be named later, thank you, that this is almost an art form. You know, there's a cadence, there's a rhythm to it that this this is my canvas and I'm the artist that makes it happen. That that I mean, I was gonna cry. I kind of kid, and that's why I told him.

I was like, oh man, I'm getting real esoteric here, making me no. But to a degree, there is, like like you said, a training curve, and it kind of becomes its own art form. You feel like you're a part of this. How about I give you a gift? Okay, all right, this is for you Okay. One of the research assistants of the program sent this to my attention this morning with the note,

you have got to hear this. As you know, Sage Steele left ESPN's employee m wearing it as a badge of honor that she left left because she's just not into the woke nonsense of ESPN. And she left, and she's been attacked for it. And so she's doing her own podcast. She's doing her own thing, and she's sitting down having a conversation with a couple of guys. One of them is Congressman Wesley Hunt. You know who he is. I know the name Texas, Yeah, west Point, United States

Army deployed. I mean he's got some game, sure, And so he is sharing what our research assistant said is one of the best Trump stories ever. And as a Trump guy, I think you'll like this. I want to give you my favorite Trump my my favorite President Trump story. It's my

number one favorite of all time. When we were negotiating with the Taliban while President Trump was still the president, President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions based withdrawal, meaning that you do what we tell you to do, and then we'll start pulling troops back slow as long as you abide by our rules. It's President Trump and Mike Pompeo and they are talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator in

the room. President Trump looked at that at the Taliban leader and said this, I want to leave Afghanistan, but it's going to be a conditions based withdrawal. And translator translated, and he said, if you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you. And translator goes, and Trump goes what I said, reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader, the leader of the of the Taliban's home, and handed it to him, got up and walked out the room. He

literally pulled me, I know where you live. That is so as you say, base, that is brilliant. That's so funny. But think about it. Think about what Trump wanted to do versus what Biden did. Biden had the audacity to claim last week that not a single member of the Armed services has lost their life under his watch. Forgetting the thirteen names of the people that died in Afghanistan. Yeah, at the withdrawal. That's just asinine. That's Joe. I don't feel some of you feel sorry for him.

I don't feel any sorry for him. He's evil. He sold his soul to the devil to get the job. And so you know, I'll tell you the person that's I think really going to answer for all of this is Jill before God. Jill's Jill was going to answer for what she's done to maintain her post. Oh yeah, as first lady, it's sick anyway. Next hour, five facts our friend Scott Beacon. If you have subscribed to the b Line blog, you've gotten the five facts for the month of June.

We're gonna share those. We've got got a beach warning with a with an addendum, and and a lot more still to come. So stick around. It's Wednesday, fourth of July tomorrow. We're getting you ready here in the morning show with Preston Scott What to Do in a Pickle. You've got so many stories already stacking up. It's just it's that kind of day. Welcome to the second hour of the radio program. If you're new to the show, it's wrong with you. Where have you been now? If you

just stumbled upon us This Morning Show with Preston Scott eighty nine. Don't worry though there are repeated themes, this program is fresh and new every day. We don't spend the entire three hours on one topic. We move around, We have interesting guests, and of course you leave here feeling as though you have been informed of what's going on all around you. One of our frequent guests is a guy named Scott Beacon, introduced to me by one of well

in fact, the supervisor of our of our research team. And he writes a blog called the Bline Blogger, and and I encourage you to sign up for the newsletter because you'll get two or three a week on most weeks. And he does a summary of the previous month. And this is say, five facts from June summary and just five random things that he just kind of noticed that came out in the month of June. One of them is the generational divide, and I'm reminded of and he pointed out, remember the Reagan

quote freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. I want you to think about that for a second, one, just one, and think of these numbers values by generation Baby Boomers, patriotism, seventy six percent, Zoomers thirty two percent belief in God religion Boomers sixty five percent, Generation z twenty six percent having children Boomers fifty two percent, Zoomers twenty three percent. America is the best place to live. Do you agree with that sixty six

percent of boomers? And I'm shocked the numbers that low thirty three percent of gen Zers, Scott writes, have we seen divisions this large on values that are so fundamental to a future, to the future of us, of a society. Just an observation. Job growth, Biden claims to be growing bringing jobs to America. Nearly all of the jobs that came were bounced back jobs from COVID. What's interesting, though, is in the number is the new

net growth jobs. Nearly all jobs in recent years are going to foreign born workers. Yes, boomers are aging out of the workforce, no doubt about it. Not this boomer, mind you, But many boomers, however, their children and their grandchildren are not the ones taking jobs. Foreign born workers at least four million have replaced American born workers, and many of those are illegals. We're going through some of the facts for the month of June.

We come back more on illegal immigration, because one of the facts of June is how big of an issue it is for voters. The Morning Show with Preston Scott we talked about this in June and if proved to be one one of the key findings that Scott zeroed in on as well. Immigration is a massive issue. Yesterday we played sound from it was either yesterday or Monday, Joe Biden declaring that he was going to end everything Trump had done about the

border. What was interesting is among the things that Biden said, and we played all of it, it was Joe, Joe, Joe, come on, man, Joe. It was the human rumba himself. And one of the things that he even mentioned was the cages. I was just I haven't thought about thought about that old hoax in a while. He mentioned, We're gonna shut those cages. Dude. You and your boy broh, Yeah,

you were the ones that opened it up. It was literally twenty fourteen, back when those images were going around and AOC was doing her whole thing. Yeah exactly, is anybody looking they were Obama era photos, yes, and he yet and no one in the media said, mister resident, that was while you were vice president. Cages. You mentioned cages there. That was when you were the vice president. Now you've you're the resident. I got you. Sixty two of all voters, remember, are willing to do mass

deportation of undocumented immigrants. I'm glad that it's that high. I'm surprised. It's like it should be higher. Yes, but I'm honestly surprised that it's that many people have come around to just flat out say, yeah, all of them, gaunt mass get out Hispanics, Yeah, fifty three percent. I'm not I'm not the producer to be named later is pointing at himself like,

I'm not out in you. And then and then his his comments here on Israel and Palestine and Hamas and all of that, he said, he basically concludes because he looked at polling and the polling is different based on whether it's coming from Gaza or the West Bank, and the and the beliefs of the people in those areas, because the West Bank's not dealing with what Gaza is dealing with. Israel's running through Gaza told you they would and they're not

stopping, and they don't care what you think, nor should they. And Scott writes that it appears the only way to achieve piece is total submission and humiliation of amass and then he writes, We've seen this before the Civil War, World War two with Germany and Japan. It's harsh, it's heartbreaking. However, the only way to restore humanity in a place where it has been

lost is that route. He's correct. And then lastly the debate, and this is the polling that I thought was the most interesting that he drew from. Obviously, Republicans think Trump did great. Democrats actually think Biden did okay, which is just shocking to me. Independence Trump sixty one percent to eight percent. Sixty one percent of independence thought Trump won, only eight percent actually think Biden might. My theory on that would be that the eight percent are

not possibly independents. If you watch that and actually thought Biden won, I mean, even Democrats are struggling with that one, then you're probably just a closeted dem So there you go. All right, you're caught up. Five facts, we come back, shark attacks and more off Florida's coasts. Got a great note here from Mark and it's on the subject that the prayer and fasting grant. Did you heard what happened in Tennessee. I believe so.

The margins are just stunning. Ninety four percent of the vote of the legislative body in the House and the Senate, which is far more than the majorities that they have in Republican Democrat passed a resolution calling for the state to fast and pray. Yes, I did see that, and they did not use water down language. They said Jesus, the Holy Spirit and sin, and

I mean, come on. So I have called, I have asked the listeners if they want to to participate, and I've got information on my blog page about how to pray because there's some people that wrote me and said, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I'm not good at it. Awesome if you're willing to try, trust me, God's going to meet you where you are. And so I've got guidelines on prayer and fasting. What God says, what God doesn't say, because a

lot of people try to make God say things about fasting. For example, he didn't say. So it's in there. Check it out. Got this note. Thanks for your encouragement, my brother is said. I sent the following to my family this morning after deleting social media apps from my phone. Hey guys, on Monday, I heard about the Tennessee legislation on Preston Scott's radio show that I shared with you. He encouraged his listeners to do the same prayer for our country, spend time in God's word. I can easily

fast food, not so easily social media. Clearly, as we're on Wednesday, and I'm just committing to this. So as of now, I'm off social media for the month of July. You all have my cell. If you need me, you know how to get me. That's what he sent to family and friends on social media. Well done, sir, well done, And he said, my goal is to pray to read the Bible when I would have otherwise been in social media. There you go, there you go, there you go. Come on, people, let's do this.

We'll talk more about it later in the hour. Okay, I mean you were on a little R and R kind of sort of you. You've seen people at the beaches you saw north of where you were. In North Carolina, one hundred and fifty people were rescued from rip currents in the first week of summer. People are stupid and so in an effort to help you. I'm reminding you double red flags water closed to the public. Don't get in red flag high hazard, yellow, medium, green, low, purple dangerous

marine life. For example, there are shark attacks. They do happen. Yes they're rare. But Fernandina Beach critical condition Friday, NASA County Sheriff's Marine Unit, eleven fifteen in the morning. A guy lost his arm. Jesus Luise. The best I can tell, it doesn't say he's fine minus the arm, thanks to some guys with the Deputies department or the Sheriff's office that knew what to do. I'm betting he was grabbing a fish out of the

water he had been fishing or something. That's my thought. How else, I mean, the guy was apparently in a boat and then it happened, So I guess the moral of the story is like, if you're out there fishing, just sharks are looking at that fish. They're like, that's a meal. Just saying it's a fish in distress on the end of a line.

Just be smart, be safe. But when it comes to the beach goers, remember if there are not flags up on the beaches wherever you are in Florida, make a call to the Sheriff's office ask what the ser conditions are. And also remember on my blog page, I have tips on how to recognize a rip current from the beach. I've got a video that shows you what to look for, because rip currents can exist in perfectly calm waters with green flags. And then there's a second video teaching you what to do

if you're in one. And it's shot with a guy holding a camera in the middle of a rip current. He's a lifeguard. He's showing you what to do and how to survive. I'm not kidding when I tell you we're doing this this summer because I'm going to do everything I can because we've got people in Florida listening to this show, visiting Florida, people from other areas that'll be heading to the beaches. This stuff can save your life. And if you live in Florida, right, this stuff kind of like I remember

learning this kind of stuff in school. Like with the rip current, swim horizontally, right, You don't try and fight it, You just like realize that, okay, you're getting pulled out. You got to get to you know, swim horizontally and assuming that it's pulling you directly out. One of the things I learned is rip currents can run at an angle, they can run perpendicular to the beach. Every situation's different, So there are tips that are on that video on how to deal with that too, how to determine

it. If you got out of state, friends and family come and you know, let them know. Yeah, and look, I've learned myself. Even when you advise people, sometimes they ignore you. All you can do is what you can do. You can't stop stupid, all right, but what we can do is make it as safe as possible. Twenty seven minutes past the hour, you've got the big stories in the press box. And this is like Jaws like music. Huh. Jaw's like see, I can't

play the Jaws music, but I can job, you know. It's like, Yeah, I'm a shark, this is my bed, it's my jam man, I'm swimming. I'm looking for you, stupid person in four feet of water. Yeah, this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, some random stories here, big stories in the press box. One, there's twenty five Democrats in the House allegedly meeting with Biden or have met or will meet today asking him to not run for reelection, to stop.

Isn't it too late. We've talked about that. There are a couple of states it's too late. The die is cast. I mean those states could obviously call sessions or bring the lawmakers in and change the laws. But as of now, it's too late unless he just dies. No, there is the CIA. I suppose you know. It was something I talked about with

my wife yesterday. The CIA is never supposed to be involved in anything domestically, and now we know from testimony and documents that the CIA was involved in the twenty twenty election operationally working against Donald Trump, who was the sitting president.

Now, granted they didn't shoot and kill him like they might have done to Kennedy, just saying I was reading an article recently that, given the Supreme Court decision in the Trump immunity case, basically saying that presidential actions are immune of official official official actions. Non official actions are different, but official actions done by the president or or have have a degree of immunity from legal

prosecution. And I was reading an article basically saying that all of Nixon's concerns about the deep state vindicates a lot of his concerns, right, invoking the CIA, you know, talking about all that stuff, the effects of the deep state, some of the things that even Nixon was seen back then. It's like, man, there's a lot of things from the past now that you know, brought forward CIA's involvement with Kennedy, Nixon being concerned about all

of that stuff. Right, It's like, man, all the it feels like history is almost validating. It feels like history is changing. Perspectives on past presidents are completely being changed. I'll tell you what's trending. McCarthy was, right, Oh my gosh, you're telling me. Yeah, I'm I mean, it's it's uh. And and for those that may not know, that's referencing us Senator Joe McCarthy and his he was. He was a little over the top on some things, but in the broad sense of what he

was addressing, he was spot on the money. Yeah, that Commi's in the government. And how many of them just went underground into the Democrat Party, that's what they did. I mean, it's it's amazing how time just all of a sudden. Now McCarthy and Nixon all of a sudden, it's like, holy cow, they were onto something. Okay, Well, what what's the famous expression that's basically a proverb at this point. Yeah, those that don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Yeah, there you

go. Interesting. I saw this and I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait he said he said what the judge Juan Mershan in the Trump trial. Listen to what he wrote delaying the sentencing to September eighteen, twenty twenty four, at ten am for the imposition of sentence if such is still necessary, or other proceedings if such is still necessary? Is the judge opening Look when it's all said and done. I think there are

some people Alvin Bragg willing to take one for the team. I'm not sure Wan Mershaun is looking at the handwriting on the wall and seeing that it makes sense for him to jeopardize his judicial career over this. I think he knows that trial was fraught with problems. Now he created a bunch of them. Anyway, they've they've delayed sentencing in that and Bragg is not opposing that, which is interesting. Tennessee woman nearly awarded nearly seven hundred thousand dollars she got

fired from Blue Cross, Blue Shield Tennessee. Because she wouldn't accept the shot. She got fired. Other people got fired across the country. They should sue every single If you got fired for refusing, you should sue. You will win. Now she won on religious grounds. A federal jury believed her. I'm waiting for the lid comes off when someone finally gets the court and a court has admitted this already, one of the appellate courts has acknowledged this

is not a vaccine. This is a therapy, this is a treatment. It is not a vaccine. That is huge in part because it validated me. And yeah, I've vented on this a few times while you've been gone, because I caught heat, I got shadow band, I got banned, and I got caught on the carpet by my company because I stated that these vaccines are not vaccines and I have been proven correct. Jade Johnson coming up a little bit Florida Man Factor fiction. Will read you three headlines and you

have to pick which is the real Florida Man headline. No prizes, just a little gratification saying hey, look at me. Grant had a pretty good batting record. He did pretty well when he was the official producer now he's producer emeritus and gran Allen in this morning, we'll reset the prayer and fasting thing. But first from Michael Snyder, eleven signs that the US economy is in far worse shape than most think. And again this is in part to

counter Democrats Biden. Fewer Democrats to their creditors saying it because they know. Look, especially in the House House Democrats, house members have to run for reelection every two years. They got to put themselves out there every two years. And so to go round the country and say the economy's fine, what's wrong with you people, it's awesome, is really stupid to try to campaign with that. So you're not hearing nearly as much of that from the Dems

right now. But Snyder breaks down eleven things. I'm just going to touch on them real quickly. Delinquencies are on the rise, credit card delinquencies highest level in more than ten years. Commercial real estate crisis escalating. Wall Street banks have begun to offload their portfolios of commercial real estate loans, hoping to

cut losses. By the way, some of that is not the fault of anybody, It's the fault of COVID and businesses overreacting to COVID and then contracting, and we realize that a bunch of commercial real estate is just not not made for the new office, which for a lot of people's at home. Banks are shutting down. More than four hundred branches have closed this year. Have you heard about it? Nope. Big companies laying off workers from coast

to coast. Five hundred Texas truckers lost their job when a large logistics company shut their doors for good. Dallas Fed Services Index now in the negative territory for twenty five months in a row. Restaurant apocalypse continues. Hooters has closed nearly forty restaurants for a lot of reasons. When declines, it's generally not because of an increase in morality in our country. Retail chains are continuing to

go belly up. More and more retailers are struggling. They're fighting against the tide of not just the economy, but they're fighting against the tide of brick and mortar versus online. It's just tough. Consumer confidence dropped lower in recent months. It still is declining. Initial consumer confidence has been revised down in seven of the last eight months. See that's what's happening. The White House, the federal government releases a set of numbers and they go, see,

it's not that bad. And then over the next subsequent months, those numbers get dropped lower and lower, or they go higher and higher, and they adjust on the back page, and they put the headline on the front page. But the adjustments come later. You just can't read about them. It's like a retraction in the media. They put a headline out there that's just blasphemous, and they put the retraction back on page thirty or well, if we're looking at like today's newspapers, page ten, housing, do I need

to say much about mortgages, lending, mortgage rates? And then the homeless population, for example, in Chicago has tripled in one year for a host of reasons, I'm sure, but it's an indicator. Forty seven minutes after they hour, coming back and get you ready for Florida Man fact and fiction and more. Preston Scott, do you understand the words that are coming out

of my mouth on news radio one hundred point SEVENBUFLA. Right before we get to Florida Man fact or fiction, we have just kind of an update here in case you did not know the state of Tennessee voted. Four percent of lawmakers voted for a resolution calling the state to fast and pray. The governor signed it. It's underway. It's for the month of July, and I mean not for a day, not for a week, the month of July. What surprised me beyond the numbers that voted for it, because clearly that

that was a bipartisan vote. The Republicans don't own the Tennessee legislature by the numbers of ninety four percent. It surprised me was the language used. They talked about sin, They talked about the need of seeking Jesus and forgiveness. They talked about the fact that God is able to judge and bless They talked about the need of the Holy Spirit to come into government, into business,

into schools, into homes. I was shocked at how direct the language was, and so when I came across the story last week, I felt real strongly that I needed to really think about this, because it immediately lifted something up in my heart. And what it lifted up in my heart is some people are getting it and it's not my place, it's not your place. It's not our place to say, oh, it's too late. It doesn't

matter what you and I think. I mean, truly, it doesn't if you're and to kind of go back to and we're going to probably blow up Florida man factor fiction. To go back to a theme of the last few weeks, I've been challenging, man, if you're going to call yourself a Christian, act like it, Seriously, if you're going to call yourself one act like one, not on Sunday, not when it's easy and convenient,

the rest of the week, when it when it's challenging. And so along that same path, I just felt like, Okay, let's do this. And so on Monday, I suggested any of you willing that want to, let's do it. Let's join in the resolution in Tennessee hopes that other churches, other states, other people will join in with them. Sign me up. So I made the commitment, and I've committed myself to this for the month of July. Now, in that I got emails from people saying I

don't know how to pray. Gotcha, that's an honest confession of a lot of people. They don't even know where to start studying God's word. Fall

asleep in five minutes. That's what happens, right. So I took my background in vocational ministry, just what I've encountered with my own challenges, and I wrote it all down and I put about ay fifteen hundred word blog in teaching about prayer, what Jesus had to say about prayer, teaching about fasting, what God's Word says about it, and what God's Word doesn't say, because fasting doesn't necessarily have to be food, and if it is, it's

not all food. It can be just certain things. It's not about endangering yourself. It's about inconveniencing yourself and using that inconvenience to remind you to pray and to study God's word, not to get busy doing other things. Fasting by being busy doing other things instead of defeats the whole purpose. It was put to me this way. If what you're giving up means nothing to you, your fast means nothing to God. So that's the challenge. I'm going

to remind you of it. I'm not if you want to do it, And everything you need to know to help you is on my blog page at w fl A FM dot com slash preston w FLA Panama City dot Com slash Preston alongside producer Emeritis, Grant Allen and a producer to be named later. I'm Preston, Scott. Welcome. I'm turning the page on the rundown. It is Wednesday. It is July the third, and that means it's time. See how that works there, huh. J D. Johnson joins us.

It's our personal defense segment first and third wednesdays of each month. JD, of course, co founder of the talent training group Talent Range and co host of Talent Outdoors. Hello, my friend early, Happy fourth of July. Happy Independence Day. Yeah we can find we don't say happy Memorial Day. People make that mistake. You don't do that. You don't do that

people, But you can darn well say happy Independence Day. Absolutely. I thought it was funny that John Adams thought it was going to be July second. Yeah, he thought that was going to be the day that would live for for all times. Is a day where fireworks are shot off and people remember, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not it. It's the fourth, it is. It is, in fact the fourth. I don't like Happy July fourth because it's kind of like, okay, I really tried my

best to say Independence Day. Do you ever watch this movie? Oh Independence Day? Yeah, of course? Which one? I mean? Yeah? Yeah, the Alien one? Yeah, that that's a good one. All right, I promised you. I want to get your thoughts. Tallahasseeg Man. We'll leave his name out of it. It's in the news. Sentenced for his role in July sixth. His crime, as it was described, is that he grabbed the corner of a police officer's shield, and that he

bumped into a police officer impeding him. And so he went ahead and pled guilty, fell aty kount of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. It was one officer. His The biggest crime was that he touched the corner of the shield he bumped into an officer on January sixth, and he and he threw a stick in a in a in a in a tunnel and by all accounts hit nobody just tossed a stick JD. He's going to spend forty

months in prison for that. As a former law enforcement officer. Is there any circumstance where that listing of a crime is worthy of that type of sentence? No? I mean, you know, in my career There's been many, many times when I was in you know, knock down, drag out fight with somebody. They're hitting me, I'm hitting them, Get them,

get them in custody, and get them to the jail. Put the obligatory battery on law enforcement ulser, which is unlawful touching right of a law enforcement ulster with with the intent to do harm, and that never go anywhere.

Now, the original charge might have they might have gotten sentenced or whatever for the original charge, but generally speaking, the battery l e O charge that gets put on there when you have to fight somebody resisting with violence or in the battery l e O a lot of times gets pled down or goes away completely if the officer's not hurt. Now, I'm not saying that's right, but that's just kind of a okay, Well, you're doing your job, and if you're out there on a riot, you know, riot line,

and somebody touches your shield that you're holding, stands in your way. I mean, am I oversimplifying things to suggest that in that setting, in a riot, that you have to look at it in the sense of, look, okay, we got bumped around and maybe they grabbed my Billy club or whatever. But I wasn't hit. I wasn't he wasn't attacking me. There were a lot of other people that we need to focus on. Is that Is that a fair observation or out you got to lay the hammer down on

anybody that was there. Well, the biggest issue I have with the whole January sixth, and we just came back when that happened. We had dealt with the summer before that, with actual riots where they're burning buildings and story and property, are hurting people all that stuff, and nobody got anything done to them over any of that. But if anyone got arrested, they were

released, they weren't charged. Yeah, exactly. So you have a fairly non violent situation as January sixth was a mostly non violet as how they described the except for the one Capitol Police for the one shot that you know, and I want to ask you about that too. Hang on a second. Ten minutes past the hour, j D. Johnson with me on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Jenny Johnson with

me, We're talking about January sixth. A Tallassee man sentenced to forty months in prison, another three years of supervised release by a US district judge in Washington, DC. And I just I didn't see that the sentence fit the crime. But I want to talk about Ashley Babbitt. You have had to draw your pistol. I assume in your career you've had to fire shots,

You've had to fire rounds. Yes, sure, was there any part of that shooting that fit anything other than a war situation that is covered by guidelines that you know to be part of law enforcement? Nothing? Nothing that I know. I mean because you watched the video. I have too, I've seen the video. Yeah, yeahs. To me, it would seem very

difficult to be able to articulate how her climbing through a broken window. It'd be very hard to very difficult to articulate any type of deadly force situation in that in that case where you are endangered right as you're yourself or somebody else's in danger of death or great bodily harm by her climbing through a window unarmed. She was unarmed, right, I mean correct? So you if they had reached up there and grabbed her and helped her get through the window and

through her on the floor and put the handcuffs on her. Okay, she's trespassing, you've got you've got you're justified. You've got probable cause to place her under arrest and to meet any force that she brings at that point with force, and you know, to the to the same weapon in her hand, she'd have had a weapon. You know, even if that weapon was a was a stick or a flagpole or anything else where you can justify.

But yeah, it's very difficult for law enforcement officers to justify using deadly force firing their gun, whether they hit anything or not. You fire a gun at somebody, you shoot, you shoot, you discharge a weapon, you're you're at the deadly force level. So wouldn't you have expected there to be a grand jury and a I mean anywhere else on the on the between from ocean to ocean, Yes, there would have been grand jury investigation and all

that stuff anywhere. Did the officer have a duty to say stop or I'll shoot. Uh? Not necessarily that you don't have to. You know, if it's a deadly forced situation and it happens at the speed of life, Uh, you don't have to say anything. I think you could argue that that didn't happen at the speed of life, because I mean the act of just right through that window where there's no duty for law enforcement to say I have a gun, I'm gonna shoot you. Everybody sees you're in uniform,

they know you have a gun. If you present a deadly threat, they don't have to make any kind of announcement and before they discharge a weapon if the deadly forced situation. And that's the same with with with individuals. You know, if you if somebody all of a sudden jumps you at the gas pump, you're right, they start putting their hands on yours. You turn, turn around, and somebody's got a knife raise over their head, fixing the stab you. You don't have to say, hey, I've got a

gun, I'm gonna shoot you. If you don't put the knife down, you just shoot, you know, you just defend yourself. I think I was thinking about it from the perspective of he was behind cover and she really didn't even know he was there. You know, her attention was not on that doorway where he was hiding. Yeah. Well, and in the military,

there are lines in the sand that get drawn. You know, we can't let the opposing force beyond this point if they're advancing, this is the line in the sand where we're going to defend things, you know, And that's in the state of war where you've got enemy approaching and you say, okay, when they get to this point, is this is all we're gonna allow and we're going to fight to the death if you will, for you know, we can't give up this position. Do that makes sense? Yep?

I just look at this scenario, and I'm thinking, Okay, the officer that I believe acted outside of his duties and responsibilities and outside of the law and shot and killed a civilian who obviously a former veteran or a veteran i should say, of the air force, and is promoted. And a guy who grabbed his shield and threw a stick is going to prison for three and a half years. It's kind of crazy, you know. I think

it's uh. I think a lot of the January sixth punishments are a message to the public, don't don't you do what we tell you to do? As far that makes sense, I hope we don't listen federal government saying you do you do what we say? I hope we don't listen. Well, our forefathers certainly didn't back with more with JD. Johnson at the Talent Training Group, remember talent range dot Com. Here in the Morning Show with Crestin

Scott twenty one minutes past the hour, JD. Johnson with me from the Talent Training Group, our Personal Defense segment, talking about some stories in the news, some Supreme Court rulings and more. But let's go to the late effort by the Biden administration to attack the Second Amendment. And it's the Surgeon General of the VIC Murphy declaring firearms violence a public health crisis, quoting guns

pose a serious threat to the health and well being of our country. You know, it's just another We've been seeing attacks on the gun industry and gun owners for years now at this point, this is just another one. I don't know what their angle is or what they're going to try to do, other than maybe force firearms manufacturers to put a warning sticker or engrave the slides, or engrave the gun with some kind of a warning sticker. This may

be hazardous to your health. I don't know. Being stupid could be hazardous to your health. You know, we could put that out of everything, sure, you know, it's it's just it's you know, they went after the gun industry on the financial side years ago with the banks, and you've got a vast number of large banks, large entities, and every thing we do in business, if you accept credit cards at your place of business,

you have to be involved with several entities banks. Everybody's getting a little piece of the pie when you sell something with a credit card. And they started out with basically putting pressure on the big banks that process all this credit card stuff to not do business with gun the gun industry, and to not loan the gun industry money and to not process their credit cards. So we've changed

credit card processors over the year is probably five or six times. Because of the end, all big bank that process the money quit doing business with gun entities. So you know that was an attack. And then they have some the legal attacks with the banning of certain products or this, that and the other, and then you have the now you've got this whole Surgeon general thing. So I don't know where that's going to lead, but it's something is

a foot. The governor has said Florida's governor around the Santus has said, not here, nothing, You do is going to be affected. We're not going to listen to you. Yeah, and that's a scary thing. When you've got a certain number of states refusing, refusing to participate in federal federal law, federal guidelines. That's how unfortunately, that's how civil wars start,

you know. I mean, that's just it is what it is. You say, you saw the same thing in Texas with the border, when the Texas governor said, all right, fed y'all get out, We're going to take care of our own border. It's our state and other states joining in with them. You know, we're a country, we're one country. We

should be working together. You know, Florida should be able to work with Illinois or California or New York, and we all should come to sometimes kind of agreement of set of rules where we're all playing by the same rules. But you have the same thing going on. Yeah, that's called the constitution, right, And you had the same thing going on when Trump was in office with California going, we don't care what your immigration laws are, We're

gonna we're gonna be a sanctuary city. That's the same thing. It's just it just they make it sound pretty uh, you know, well, I'd rather be on the right side of it than the wrong side of it, absolutely, because eventually what Biden and the Surgeon General is doing will be thrown out in court. Everything, just about everything they've done has been thrown out

in court. And you know, the one saving grace we have right now is the Supreme Court that seems to have a fairly level constitutional mind, if you will, they're they're usually most of the time, they've been pretty consistent and even on you know, there's there's been a lot of uh, unanimous or mostly unanimous decisions, even from some of the left leaning judges on the on the panel, you know, And that's the way we should we should

be following the Constitution. It's there for a reason. We got about a minute and a half the Supreme Court. They ruled that bump stocks once again, that what Trump in fact put in place, he oversteps his bounds. There's nothing wrong with them from a constitutional perspective, but they're still illegal in Florida. Yeah, they are illegal in Florida. That's a Florida law and and they're in state. Should be able to decide things like that. What

are your thoughts on the subject. In general. Uh, you know, they're they're they're a fun toy. That's really what bump stock. Bump stocks are to me. They're not they're not an effective device per se for most people. They're they require a pretty good deal of uh manipulation, and you have to know how to use them. And and they're not I don't they're they're kind of ambiguous. I don't care. I mean, I don't have one, never owned one, don't care to own one. Do I think

you should be able to own one if you want one? Sure, that's kind of where I'm at. I think you should. But whatever, Yeah, exactly, and in Florida. But but my point of the whole thing is that if if it's like Illinois has an assault weapons ban, can if you don't currently owner, if you didn't own an AR fifteen prior to a certain date, you can't have one in the state of Illinois. Well that's if the Illinois citizens of Illinois are okay with that. That's fine. That's

their state. If you got they got choices. They can either elect new people that think the way they think, or they can move to another state. You know, they pick up and move out. And people have done that across this country forever. Yeah, they're coming here. Hey, Okay, as long as you know, long as they long as they mix in with us and adopt our, our culture and our beliefs and don't stir up a bunch of stuff, then okay, I don't I don't mind them moving

here. When we come back, we're going to get to training. In our final two segments, Jadie Johnson with me from the Talent Training Group, co hosts of Talent Outdoors. Here are the Morning Show with Preston's Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The things we talk about off

the air, that's said all the time in radio. You guys talk about it all this Yeah, oh yeah, we have a lot of fun Talent Outdoors and of course with us. In our personal defense segment, jad Johnson of the Talent Training Group, all right, we've covered the new stuff. Let's talk a little bit about training. Are there ways to introduce stress into training to as close as possible simulate the stressors that are in a personal defense

situation without taking a course that's designed that way. It is it is difficult to induce personally what I call personally induce stress. It is difficult to do the one thing, or there's a couple of things you can do. You can simulate the heart rate. You can simulate an advanced heart rate by doing exercises, jumping jacks, push ups, jogging, running, whatever else to get your heart rate elevated. Because that's the physiological effect of stress is to

you know, it's chemically you chemically inducing advanced heart rate under stress. That's a chemical cocktail that gets released in during the fight or flight, you know, situation. So that's a chemical induced stressor physiologically that increases your breathing and your heart rate. Well, you can simulate that by doing some type of exercise or lifting weights or moving around whatever. You can simulate that advanced heart rate and breathing. The mental side of that, which is a shot clock,

a shot timer. I always going I wrote on my notes to ask you about what a timer does to most people. Yeah, I've seen people just I've seen people, you know, law enforcement officers that otherwise shoot really well. You put them under the stress of you have to hit get this many hits and this amount of time, and they it gets in their head and they don't shoot well under qualification, they shoot fine. If they're being casual, but you you mentally induce that stress of you have to perform that

performance anxiety. And that's kind of what you're doing with a shot tim or with your set of circumstances, is that you're inducing your own stress with a shot tim er. I have to get you know, my goal or my I have to get this many hits in this much time with a shot timer. A person that it's new to hearing that they don't know the technology that's out there. There are timers that I'm guessing you can put on your hip. You can there's there's phone apps present that you can use. Really yes,

and it makes it you can't guess when it starts. It makes a sound, and that's your starting point. Yep. It surprises you right when you hit the hit the go button, if you will, or the start button on this thing. It's going to have a random starting point from You'll set it from one to eight seconds, so you're standing there from one to eight seconds waiting on the beep to go, and then it'll give you another beap when it's time to stop or you you know, it registers the shots.

It can hear the shots. There's that technology has been around a long time. It's now gotten into the to the cell phone world. You can your your phone, can hear your phone, can you know, can register those shots. And obviously it's got a clock or a timer on there, so it's there's there's phone apps that can do it. So you can artificially enhance your stress with with some kind of aerobic or something to elevate your heart

rate timers. What about different kinds of target acquisition exercises, Yeah, the the dot torture things like that, where you've got to put X number of shots on a small target and that kind of stuff. I don't I don't find those to be as effective as the because you it's it's hard to get excited or get your heart rate up doing that. But yeah, I mean you can, and I tell the people this all the time. Practice on

really small targets. You know, you pick out a little small dot or a small target or a small piece of the tar that you're shooting at and try to, you know, stack one bullet hole on top of another on top of another, where you're aiming at really small, finite points and that all helps with accuracy. What about jummy rounds dummy rounds. Buddy loads it for you. You don't know when it's coming. Yeah, exactly. That's a great tool for learning trigger control. That's a great tool for learning how

to clear stoppages or malfunctions in a pistol. That'll raise your stress level a little bit if you have a malfunction and you get a dummy round. Yep. Absolutely, all right. When we come back, we're going to talk about nine millimeter handguns and the differences we'll explain. Next to the Morning Show with Preston's Guy Preston Scott on News Radio one point seven Double us L A

few more minutes with JD. Johnson Personal Defense. I want to just follow up on that dummy round thing and the importance of maybe training with somebody else.

You were saying that that alone can add some stress. Oh. Absolutely, going to the range with a friend or family and making it a friendly competition, or anytime you're shooting a lot of people, anytime you're doing anything where you're performing a task in front of a peer, or in front of a friend, or in front of your your significant other or your your your

buddies. Uh, that is a degree of stress. That's a performance anxiety that's a that's I don't want to embarrass myself and look like an idiot in front of Bob who's gonna rib me for the next three weeks about it. So that's that is a stressor. And it's always good to have somebody that can train or that you're training with. They can hopefully point out, you know, or they may even say, I noticed you're doing this, or

you can ask them, hey, what's going on. I'm not something's not right here with with how I'm doing this, And at least even if they're not trained, they can they can observe. Then they can say, well, I noticed, you know you're you're you're doing this, and then maybe

you can correct yourself. And that's what private coaching is all about. When you take a lesson from somebody, that's that they're trying to observe everything you're doing and maybe give you some you know, learning to give you some ideas how to fix it. Anytime, you know, when you become really accomplished,

it's something you're able to diagnose yourself. Golf now, you know, you know when your swing is not right on the golf course and you start hitting those those hard left, those those balls that are going hard left are hard right. As an accomplished golfer, you know there's something they're a hit somewhere, or the club face isn't right or whatever. And that's how you become really good is when you're able to diagnose yourself and correct it. Nine

millimeters guns come in various sizes. There's the full size, there's something that's kind of like a mid size, and then there are those compact subcompact models. Explain to listeners the differences, well, size is primarily the different size

and the and capacity. How many does it whole? And you have everything from you know, six shot really compact, skinny fin small handguns up to six inch long barrel, twenty round magazines now and some hands and it's a isn't it a case of measuring and determining for yourself the trade offs because there are absolute tradeoffs between a compact subcompact and a mid size full size? Sure,

what are the big ones? Mid size? Full sized guns are much easier for most people to shoot and everybody because because they have a longer sight radius, they have more grip surface, they have usually have can you know, can have better trigger pulls? Uh, lighter lighter, smoother trigger pulls. There. Most of the bigger guns are made for either law enforcement duty use or competition, so they're going to be easier to shoot the less felt

recoll The does that have to do with size and mass? Absolutely? Physics. It's just physics. There's nothing, nothing magic about it, and you can't That's kind of like when you put a thousand horsepower engine in a Chevy Vega, they tend to they tend to be hard to drive, you know, And that's what happens with some of these real people are listening and there Chevy Vega went, what a Pino Afford pinto? You're a Maverick. Yeah, so I'm sorry, I'm old sometimes you know, at least the Mavericks

back. But it's a pickup truck. But anyway, we digress. Okay, Akia, you put a thousand horse power engine in a in a two door a Kia, it's going to be hard to drive. So that's the same thing you have with a full size, full power cartridge, like a nine millimeter in a little bitty gun. Okay, So kind of the same

concept. So the smaller guns are not easy to shoot. Sometimes they're not easy to hold onto because you've got a little bit of gun that doesn't weigh much and not a lot of grip surface with a lot of horsepower in it.

It's just one of the considerations I think a lot of people overlook when they're considering firearms is that you might compromise accuracy and overall safety by going with convenience and the ability to carry yep, exactly ends why we really stress try it before you buy it and make sure you're gonna be comfortable with it, because I see it every day every day. Hey, I can't shoot this

gun, Okay? And oh, by the way, the Talent Range you can check out a variety of handguns and test and see what best works for you or your loved one. Don't buy a gun for somebody else. Please don't do that. Yeah, don't gift guns. The people don't pick out guns for somebody. Let them pick them out themselves. Just like shoes, I think is like shoes and pocketbooks. Those are lessons hard learned by two married man. All right, thank you, sir, Yes, sir,

thank you. JD. Johnson with us Talent Outdoors on the weekends and of course the Talent Training Group online at Talent Range dot Com has intervened. I'll explain in a moment. British Columbia chicken a British Columbia chicken has earned a Guinness World Record by identifying different numbers, colors and letters. A vet in

BC bought five what are called highline chickens to produce eggs. She soon started training the hands to identify magnetic letters at numbers and Lacey, one of the chickens emerged as the clear winner of the flock, correctly identifying six letters, numbers and colors in one minute. So there's your Guinness World Record holder. But what would a day be, especially with Grant Allen back in the studio? Did what's his face? Set another record? My friend David Rush is

back in the new You couldn't remember? Yes, I'm like dad gum, this guy's still going at it. Yes. He joined with another man and spent one hour, eight minutes and fifty two seconds passing a giant inflatable ball back and forth to reclaim their Guinness World record because someone snatched it, which dropped the number of records. David Rush is a serial Guinness World Record breaker

and he wants to have the most titles at one time. He currently now holds one hundred and seventy nine and his goal is one hundred and eighty one. Wow, he's close. He set a record in twenty twenty one. Don't anybody do anything? Hang on? The most times a giant inflatable ball was passed back and forth in the time limit was four, one hundred and sixty nine times. That record was broken, and so they went ahead and shattered the new record. They went seven thousand, who eight hundred and twenty

seven times in one hour, eight minutes and fifty two seconds. How about that? That's that's impressive. So once again David wrote, Rush now holding one and seventy nine concurrent records in the Guinness Book, shooting for one and eighty one or more. Lam you heard it here, brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. We are gone for the next two days back on Monday. Good to have Grant Allen

back in the program today. Looking forward to I'm guessing he might rejoin us next Friday for What's the Beef, because that's when we'll really find out that the producer to be named later is up for the job. I think Grant would agree that What's the Beef is kind of the arbiter of whether someone can handle the gig. It is, it flies, the magnum opus of the morning show. It is the peak involvement as producer. So yes, I

agree. Yeah, so I figure if he doesn't quit after his first exposure to What's the Beef, we got a shot at keeping the producer to be named later. If he quits, that's another story. He's shaking his head. He's shaking his head. Now, I like this. Listen, Let's see what happens after a week from Friday. Let's see what happens then. Big stories in the press box today. Trump's scheduled sentencing in New York has been postponed to September. The judge said, if necessary. Well, now

The Arkansas Attorney General warning Timu isn't like Amazon or Walmart. It is a theft business. He's following lawsuit and wants you to know that Timu takes a loss and offers great prices because they don't care about selling stuff. They
