Whoa, what a day I have? I already have nine tabs opened up on my computer. My wife would laugh at that and say, I ain't I got ninety on mine. Anyway, Welcome friends to Wednesday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am Preston. He is a producer to be named in an hour, and alongside is the one and only Grant Allen, who is dressed for the occasion the other ways the unveiling, your boy don't miss Okay, I'm just kidding, He's back, will have Oh my goodness,
what a day. Charlie's gonna be. Charlie's gonna be in here today. You think he's a guy who trained snipers and was a sniper has something to say? Is a sniper has something to say about what happens Saturday? Yeah, I've been thinking that. Yeah, So we're going to dish on that a little bit. We've got more information yet again on the shooting, more unbelievable commentary by the head of the Secret Service. But we'll get to
all of that. Let's start where we need to start, and as we always do, it is in God's word Roman's one sixteen for I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. To the jew first, and also to the gentile, to the Greek, I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. I want to zero
in and circle and highlight, for I am not ashamed. Let me put a bow around a general sentiment that we are growing here on the program back a few months and a half, two months ago, something like that. We really focused in based on an email I received on challenging men to step up, not just a manly minute, not just raising young men, being a man, a godly man, a man of God. So we started a Monday segment and one of the things we've been challenging men to do is
to start paying attention to the things that are impacting your thought processes. Start paying attention to why is it that you speak the things that you speak, Well, it's because you input the things that you input. Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The things that you treasure, the things that you hold, the things that you embrace in your heart
is what comes out of your mouth. This scripture says for I'm not ashamed of the Gospel, and I would simply sort of hold this up and remember, this segment's not just for you, it's for your kids. Most importantly, it's for you to speak into your kids' lives. So, how do you raise children that are not ashamed of the gospel? By not being ashamed of the gospel? How do we define that? Well, what do you do when you're ashamed of something? It didn't happen. You're not saying a
word, You're looking the other way, You're putting up a curtain. You're putting it up, you're putting it away. She's going to try and get rid of it in the garbage whatever. You're ashamed. It's the opposite. When you're not ashamed of something, you are not ashamed to let people know you're not ashamed, to live your life placing priority on the things of God
in front of everybody. I'm not ashamed. There's wisdom involved. There are some workplaces, I'm quite certain where you kind of have to, you know, be a little subtle about it. You don't want to beat people up with scripture, because I don't think that's necessarily becoming walking around wagging a finger at folks. I always talk about my wife being so genuine in her faith
that people approach her. She just is singularly the most approachable Christian I've ever met, because she lives it. She's not ashamed of the gospel, and so some of the roughest people on the planet, because of her occupation, approach her and are intrigued. Live your life in such a way that you could say that you're not ashamed of the Gospel. Ted passed the hour Morning Show with Preston Scott off and running the Morning Show with Preston Scott twelve past
the hour real quickly here into the American Patriots Almanac. Four July seventeenth, eighteen ninety seven. The Klondike Gold Rush begins in Seattle when news of gold and Alaska arrives. If only there was a way we could find whatever that is. That was actually the first season of gold rush, by the way, Yeah, probably so making seasons since eighteen ninety seven. Yeah, the great great great grand pappy of Todd Hoffman. Yeah, well, you know,
he found some gold. Imagine if we could find the secret sauce that would cause the Clantifa of Portland in Seattle to go somewhere else. I don't want to ruin the poor. You know, the folks of Alaska good with a with an influx of those folks as salt of the earth. People don't deserve that. Yeah, yeah, but maybe maybe what we could do is like put signs north of Alaska in the Canadian territory and say, hey, here's whatever. Do you remember when Trump was president and there were talks about
buying Greenland from Denmark? Yes, I do. That's where we need to send them. We send them to Greenland. That's what we'll do. It would be perfect if you're embracing climate change and all that. Here you go go green. Yeah, absolutely, save the polar bears, go green. Ooh, go green. And then parentheses land mass deportations. But for liberals to Greenland, Yes, yes, Plantifa see yam. Nineteen forty five, Harrey has Truman meets with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. What a meeting that
had to be. Can you imagine? Oh, yes, good boy, mister Roosevelt, welcome. Oh what are you doing here? Stolen? It's like one of you sticks out here. Two of these are of like mind, the other one kind of stands out great mustache, though Disneyland opens in Anaheim in nineteen fifty five. Nineteen seventy five and Apollo Space Ship rendevous with
the Soviet Soyuz spaceship for superpower docking in space. And in nineteen ninety seven, after nearly one hundred and twenty years, F W. Woolworth closes its last four hundred five and dime stores. M you couldn't do a store that sold anything for nickel or a dime. Nothing. I mean, there's nothing that you can do that for anyway. I've got to get to that.
This show, we're diving in a little bit. I'm violating a long standing rule just because, but I'm gonna kind of just ease into the bigger stories here this morning a lot of sound. I don't know if you've seen this eminent failure of the Nashville Dam, which is Nashville, Illinois. It's residents had to evacuate, They completely evacuated. Apparently there's about two hundred homes in
the way of the likely failure of this dam. I just got to think, and can you imagine it's compromised by I don't know if I want to say it's an earth kind of damn and they've had so much rain it's gone over the top and therefore it's eroding. It's it's support and base, and it's hard to believe that. Like in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four, there's still like those kinds of threats like, oh, watch out, the valley could get washed out. Yeah, yeah, no kidding.
It's like you know, the old the old Johnstown flood, which could have eliminated my existence because my my entire, my dad and his mom and dad, my grandparents and they were all there and wow, just craziness anyway, just something to pay attention to. It's just one of those stories. There's so many little stories that are getting lost, like Bob Menendez getting He's facing two hundred and twenty two years in prison, and one day we'll talk about
that. It might be this week, it might be next because the inevitable. See, you have no problem with the jury finding with Bob Menendez, but it's Trump and you have a coin area about it. You really want to come, you want to go there, I'll go there. I will happily go there. We'll talk about the differences in those trials at some point sixteen past the hour, we come back a meltdown on Morning Joe. You gotta hear it. Well, do you remember when MSNBC had hired Ronan McDaniel.
It's NBC News, it was you know, it was it was mutiny and they backtracked and they said, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry ron McDaniel. Of course I would call her the disgraced head of the r n see and uh and of course, why would you ever want diversity of thought? I mean, look, she was terrible at her job, but she she believed in the cause. She was just bad at the cart at the cause. So if anything fleshed out the the one sidedness of NBC News,
MSNBC, et cetera, it was the firing of Ronald McDaniel. But in the wake of the shooting Saturday, NBC News made the decision that they were not going to put the Morning Joe team of Joe and Mika on the air Monday morning. They were on Tuesday this hour, Willie, I just wanted to brief to our friends and viewers that watch us every day and and talk
about what happened yesterday. We were told in no uncertain on the Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC News channels yesterday. The Today's Show would be Lester Holt other people that what you worked with on Sunday and that that was going to be one news feed across all NBC News channels, that we were going to stay as a network in breaking news mode throughout all day yesterday. That did not happen. We don't know why
that was didn't happen. Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn't happen, But it didn't happen. We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day, and I guess after there was such a strong blowback about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans and so those plans changed as well. So it didn't And you know, we've talked about it off the air. We'll talk about it on the air because we
talked about everything on. We were very surprised, we were very disappointed. And if we had known that there wasn't going to be the one news feed from NBC News across all NBC News channels, Willie, we obviously would have been in yesterday morning. Yeah, I was here up early on Sunday morning with NBC's coverage. Savannah and I led the coverage on Sunday in the immediate
aftermath, talking to eye witnesses, talking to officials about what happened. Obviously suited up and ready to go for yesterday morning on a big morning, and we're told that that something else was going to be broadcast. So we are here today, going through a lot, catching up a little bit, but we want to be here for our audience, and we know you trust us and we have ultimate respect for you, guys, So we are here today. I wish we'd been here yesterday. This, Yeah, we all wish
we would have been here yesterday. We were still or would like to. We'd like to figure out exactly why there wasn't that one news feed. And I think the reason why is this show began and continue seventeen years later on being the place you can go to have the hard conversations in a civil way. And so it seems like now more than ever is a day time that we would like to be on and I think our viewers agree with that.
Listen, so we continue. We are five minutes past the top of the hour, and let me just say we next time we're told there's going to be a news feed replacing us, we will be in Archer. You're sitting here, yeah, and the news feed will be us, or they can get somebody else you're sitting here to host the well now, Yeah, sounds like there are positive vibes all around the NBC News studios. Huh, Can I tell you what this is about? And they just proved the point of
the brass at NBC News. They didn't trust them to the cover the news accurate least, or they did not trust that Joe and Mika, We're going to handle the attempted assassination of somebody they hate appropriately. I can see that. And they just prove their point. The irony of Joe's meltdown, like the little child that he is, like, the illiberals just bring out their inner child in the sandbox not getting their way, and they just live there.
They just live in that state of perpetual infant tantrum. And what Joe and Mika just did saying, if we aren't in our chairs, then you better find somebody else to be in this chair because we won't be here. Dude, do you forget who signs your check? Now, I'd be pulling a Barney Fife right now. If I'm NBC News, I'd say see you good luck finding a gig. How many outlets are gonna pick up Joe and
Mika. They're on the most illiberal network there is. CNN has actually found themselves waffling a little bit back towards the center, just a little Yeah, this is hilariity. This is hilarity. Ensuing the whole Democrat Party, circular firing squad and all of this that's going on. It's hilarious. Twenty seven after the hour, Buckle yourselves for the big stories in the press Box coming next. Uncle Preston the relative you actually enjoy having a round, and not
just at the holidays. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's get right to it, the big stories in the press box this morning. We've learned a couple things in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. This from Lucas Tomlinson with Fox News. Well, apparently the security detail guarding the former president was an enhanced package out there in Butler, PA.
That's according to this new report from CNN, which says quote US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security
around the former president. Other members of former President Donald Trump's national security team have had a security detail since Trump ordered the droning of Iran's most powerful general, Costum Solomonis, who was responsible for killing hundreds of American soldiers during the Iraq War. There's an important point here. The security on Saturday was enhanced. Excuse me, the White House not denying this. It's clear that there's truth to it. And so what do we get. We get Kim Cheedle
defiantly saying she's not going anywhere. She should be fired immediately. If she doesn't step down. Why did you hear what I mean? Everyone's talking about it. She claims they didn't have snipers on that building because it was too sloped and it was dangerous. If you look at the slope of the building the shooter was on and compare it to the slope the snipers were actually on. And by the way, well, the snipers police are secret Service.
I keep hearing it was Secret Service snipers that took them out. But the back of those guys, says police don't know that it matters. But they're they're on a slope that's far more challenging, shall we say, And let's not forget these vipers. They shoot out of trees, they shoot out out on mountain sides, they shoot in all kinds of irregular terrain. The guys who killed the kidnappers and the the terrorists that had captain Phillips, they were
on a ship that was tipping up and down. It is becoming abundantly clear there's much more to this story. Again, I do not believe there was a conspiracy involving this kid. I absolutely believe at this point they allowed it to happen. There is absolutely no excuse for this. Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent for more than ten years reporting. According to my source, the roof was supposed to be a police post. They were supposed to be
be someone there. They're now making up excuses, saying the pitch of the roof, My source says to me, no one knows why the post didn't show up. Again, adding these things up, a couple other big stories that transition to our next segment, Biden administration flying illegals from California to Texas eighty thousand dollars a flight. Why would you fly him to Texas? Sweet
God? Why would you do that? And then lastly, Biden, once again illustrating there is no limit to what he wants to control, is now planning to cap rent increases. If a landlord owns fifty or more spaces, facilities, apartments, properties can only raise rent five percent annually. Why the government puts in conditions that cause inflation to go double digits, but you're gonna cap his ability to recover his costs. Apartments are in communities that raise property
taxes to absurd levels. You don't allow him to pass that cost along like he's supposed to or she's supposed to. This just once again illustrates the control that Joe Biden, Democrats and the Liberals want to have over your life. Forty minutes after the hour back with more of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Waring Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred and point seven WUFLA.
I plan to not share much of what was going on in the RNC speeches and all that unless there was something noteworthy, And I want to thank Van Jones with CNN, a noted apologist for Barack Obama for pointing out that the speech of a model, television personality entrepreneur Amber Rose, who is I'm guessing mixed ethnicity, but I don't know, and I don't really care.
But when Van Jones calls her speech the most dangerous for Democrats, I was like, oh, really edited down a little bit for time, Let's give it a listen. I'm no politician and I don't want to be, but I do care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump. I know this because for a long time I believe those lies. So I'm here to set the record straight. The first person I knew who supported Donald Trum was my father. I was shocked.
My entire family is racially diverse, and I believe the left wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. My father said, no, he's not, Amber, what are you talking about? And when I insisted, he said, prove it. So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump. I watched all the rallies, and I started meeting so many of you his red hat wearing supporters, and that's when it hit me. These are my people, this is where I
belong. So I let all of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left, and I put the red hat onto. I never felt more free and more love for my country than I do now. I want to thank my who's in the audience tonight, for opening my eyes. He served over twenty years in the US military. Thank you for your service. Dad. It's yeah. I love you, Dad,
I love you. I love you so much. Thank you. If you're watching this tonight, you know our country is in trouble, just like me. When you go to the store buy food for your family, you're shocked. When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed. I know I am. And when you turn on the news, you are just exhausted. Inflation is out of control, and you know in your heart it was not like this under Donald Trump. My message to you tonight comes from a humble
place. The left told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate the other side, the people who support him. When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth. American families were better when Donald Trump was president. We were safer, wealthier, and stronger. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to put money back in our pockets and good food on our kids' plates. Yes, or, as Trump would say, it's a vote to make America great again. Thank you so much. Yeah, there
you go. Van Jones called that speech most dangerous for Democrats. Isn't that interesting? She just spoke about things she learned herself, and that's dangerous bypassing the mainstream media's narrative. That's most dangerous for Democrats. It's funny. If you listen, they'll tell you who they are. If you listen, they'll tell you all you need to really know. Forty six minutes after the hour, back with more of the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Do you understand
the worst that are coming out of my mouth? On News Radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA minutes away from the official introduction of the producer to be named later, we'll let you know his name. Oh and that's coming up in just a little bit. Grant Allen in today with our producer to be named later. And so we'll even give you an email address where you can send a note of welcome and salutation as you like, greeting this story came out last
week, maybe it was even the week before. Chinese woman beaching in in Japan chilling swimming, swept out to see she was in an inflatable sea ring and ends up fifty miles out to sea and was found. She was rescued thirty seven hours after she was see Ya swept out to sea by a current and then a seaward wind from the mountains, and her swim ring made it
more difficult to move against the wind. So that's where a flotation device, though it was maybe just more of a casual swim ring as opposed to official life saving type ring, I don't know, might have been elevated enough that she had too much mass, and between her being elevated and the ring being elevated, she couldn't push against the current and the wind, and so by by the time anybody knew she was gone, she was gone. First of all, amazing, right, thirty seven hours at sea she survives that.
Secondly, it's almost impossible to consider what a needle in a haystack that was to find, because it's hard to see someone in the water from one hundred yards, let alone up in the air searching. It's absolutely crazy she's a Chinese national in her twenties. Japanese Coastguard launched the search after a call from the friends, and she was spotted by a cargo ship right out of the
movie Castaway. Just fortune. Good fortune is what saved her. So as a result of that story, we remind you that oops, or maybe that we remind you that. So just a quick reminder and bullied by the What's the Beef segment last week when George called in and told us about a community in southeastern Florida. I think it was where the mayor didn't want signs out explaining the flags because it would and I guess he thinks it would deter people
from enjoying the beach. No, there needs to be signs on the In fact, I'll go so far as to say, I think we need to change. I think a suggestion came in we need to put letters on those flags. And so just a reminder of those of you knew to the Sunshine State. Double red flags mean water closed to the public, don't go in period. Red flag consider it a red light stop please don't go in.
But it's high hazard. Yellow as medium hazard kind of a caution light, and green is okay, but you need to remember that even though the flag may say green, there can still be rip currents, not just that there's a purple flag and that means dangerous marine life. That could be sharks, it could be jellyfish. Bottom line is those flags are there to save your life and if you abide by them, you'll be fine. And if you ever get caught in a rip current, it's really pretty simple to get out
of it. Here's what you do. You go to my blog page. I've got a blog on identifying rip currents and what to do when you're caught in one. Two videos. They literally can save your life, the life of a friend, family member. Back with hour two of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yes second hour, Wednesday edition Morning Show with Preston Scott,
Charlie Strickland. Next hour, we'll talk about the shooting Saturday from the perspective of someone who is a trained sniper and trains others and just talk about all of the nonsense. I'm just gonna I'm gonna turn Charlie Luis. I guarantee he's got stuff to say. But here we are the second hour. Grant Allen over there in studio one B, and of course I in studio one A. I am here in one B. I'm Preston Scott. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce on the air the new
producer of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I feel like I need to have a number attached to it's sort of like, well, the twenty third director of the agency of you know. And so let's just say we're in double figures now with producers over the length of this broadcast. And now. His email address is Jose. Can you see at higheartradio dot com? And that's C A, N U S E. Jose. Can you see at iHeartRadio dot com. Grants going nuts in there, Jose, say hello to
everybody. Yes, hello everybody. No peaky English, but I love you. Betty mosh uh tell tell everybody a little like we know now we're ethnically diverse here on this program. Tell everybody a little snapshot of you. Well, I'm half Mexican and half Cuban and one American. There you go, yes, yes, so you know, thank you everybody for being patient with me, you know, running this board here. I really appreciate it. There he is, Folks, honoring a pleasure. There it is there,
it is there. It is uh, just so you know, uh, the early the way it works here when we're breaking in a new producer on the program, we don't hear from them a lot in the early going because literally running the board is just all you can do. And so, uh, you know, Jose will be very very sparse in his commentary and thoughts
early on. We'll we'll bring him in every now and then, but in the weeks to come you'll certainly get to know him and his story a little bit and how it is that he ends up up as the producer of this fine radio program. And of course, like all former producers, the bar is set very high, and so the opportunities that come as a result of this are are endless. So you know, we'll see where this all leads. But officially on the air, Jose, welcome as a producer of the
program. We're grateful to have you lead research assistant pointing this story out to me. Oh, by the way, let me just reset that if you want to send a greeting and a welcome, it's literally Jose, can you see at iHeartRadio dot com c A n U se can you see and believe it or not, there's an incredible story to that name that we will share eventually. It'll be a while, but we're going to share that story in
depth. It's going to take up a segment or two and so I can't wait, but feel free to send them a note, Jose can you see at iHeartRadio dot com. All right, So, Keith Olberman has had a meltdown over a lot of things over the years. I went ahead and posted something on his Twitter feed and I called him the former parentheses fill in the
blank, because he's just the former. He's the former everything. He doesn't have a job, he really doesn't, and he's just a bitter, angry, sad, sorry human at this point, unredeemed, and it's just it's pathetic. Really, he's mad because US Judge Eileen Cannon dismissed the case against Donald Trump here in Florida. Now, what he did is he inadvertently gave me now the opportunity to prove what I've been saying this week. The Democrats
hate not all many the liberals for certain, progressives for certain. They hate the US Constitution. They hate it. They hate this country as a constitutional republic. Hate it, and so it should come as no surprise that a judge that says, as we talked about on this program, Grant and I talked about it time and again, Jack Smith is not constitutionally appointed. He has no standing. He has no authority to even walk into that courtroom and
say one word because he's not constitutionally appointed as a special counsel. And the judge just said, uh yeah, case dismissed. If you want to try again, do it the right way. And so Keith Olberman made statements that
we're going to talk about next and the reaction has been brilliant. Ten minutes after the hour, it's the Morning with Preston Scott with Jose Can you see the Morning Show with Preston Scott going back to some of the rules of Rush, know your enemy, reject the premise, here's your power as a citizen of this country, have no fear, stay on the offense. One of the other things that Rush brought to everyone's understanding of the left is listen and
they will tell you who they are. Keith Olberman, quoting from his ex post President Biden should take the scottis cloaking mask of immunity and have Merrick Garland, arrest Eileen Cannon if they need to make up a charge, holler in for impersonating a judge, first of all, the anger and venom over a ruling that is clearly one hundred percent correct. I was shocked it took this long, but the response to Olberman is terrific. Joel Pollock, make up
a charge. That's exactly how we got here, end wokeness. Ah. Yes, nothing like saving democracy by imprisoning a judge who rules against you. Guy who writes I think for Red State goes by the name Banci. Nothing says saving democracy like imprisoning judges on made up charges because you don't like the legally sound decision. A parody side of evek ra'maswami. I thought you claim to support democracy. You're a bitter old man who's always angry. Perhaps it's
time you take a break. Nothing says protecting democracy like make up a charge. Even Nina Turner, whoever she is, No, the president should not make up a charge to arrest a judge. David Sachs writes, Biden, tone down the rhetoric. Olberman, arrest Judge Cannon. These people just can't change. Keith Olberman is probably the textbook definition of put your phone down and go touch grass, just right, just go outside, be in the sunshine, sit on a park bench and watch the birds for a little while and
chill. Bro Who is the character in what movie that had to take off his shoes and go out and let his toes grab the sand and grab this the grass? I don't know, but I kind of like, yeah, that makes total sense. Yeah, like go go be a part of earth for a moment. Okay, Actually, Keith, it's Jack Smith who needs to be hauled in for impersonating a special counsel. I've been thinking about you, Keith. It's been a really bad few days, the Biden debate,
Trump's surviving assassination, and now this case being dismissed. Are you okay? Yeah? I think you're describing an authoritarian dictatorship. Why does following the constitution offend you? This ruling was expected weeks ago after it came to the attention of Congress that Jack Smith was appointed unconditionally make up a charge they've been doing that all along. Sounds kind of fascist. Fascist. Sadly, as much as you like to project those thoughts onto us, that is your side's mo
again. It's just been lovely to watch the collective meltdown on Biden, on where we are as a country, immigration policy, everything. You've got Adam Schiff out there running for Senate in California stating that he's gonna take the whole ticket down if Biden runs, He's gonna, he's gonna, he's he's gonna lose, and we likely will lose the Senate and have no chance of retaking the House. They're just they don't know what to do. They're in total
disarray. Meanwhile, it appears as though the GOP is coming full on together and they're being joined by independents. I think a lot of people are looking at what happens Saturday and they're really questioning a lot of things. Sixteen minutes after the hour, we're gonna come back with a oh my moment next w fla fam dot com on your phone with the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and son No send Iheart's radio
station just about twenty two minutes past the hour before. Grant Allen was born nineteen ninety three January Chicago, Bulls, New York Nets playing a little basketball Olympic champion, unbelievable sprinter and athlete Carl Lewis doing the national anthem, he was We're so godan please Street, Me and the Rockets, Oh the boscasting g through the night that up black was still I'll make a court now. Yeah, he never did, and that has historically been the worst rendition of
the national anthem until the Major League Baseball home run derby. Oh say, can you see by the dawns? What's so proudly? We by the trio lights last Cleanly Food, Broad Shape, Sun by Sun through the pairs five, Oh the rent, but we watch We're so gay Street and Rod gets red. There the bones burst yayprol to the night that La was giving hope to all of us. So you can't sing sto spain s for the of the free. Oh go girl. Shoot it put that version out of its
misery. Here's what we now know about the young lady Ingrid and Dress, whoever that is. She She's a thirty two year old singer songwriter who had been featured in the Billboard Hop one hundred shows How much I pay attention. Yeah, she's now has come out and explained herself, and I saw that she was drunk. Yeah, if you believe that, well, I mean I'm inclined to believe it. Or is she looked either drunk or stoned? She did? Oh my gosh, yes, oh see can you bye?
Was so pressed the twelve. You know, she's kind of got that like pausing for dramatic purposes. Oh I see, all right, and the Rockies she got that like really annoying, like twenty ten's indie singer who goes to slam poetry night or whatever, you know what I mean, Like that's that's her, that's her style, and and she's bad. I'm just I'm imagining the people that were with the stadium. I think it's in Philadelphia, is
that what they all start? Didn't know where they played it where it is, and and they're they're they're standing by when she says in the rockets red glare, the bomb's bursting in air, and they got to hit the pyrotechnics. I was saying, thinking the same thing, like more fireworks, guys got to drown around. Well, there's not just that. I think there's swell fellas. We're in it now, what fire Oh my goodness. Yeah, And she didn't necessarily get many of the words, right, she she
tried, but again, that would explain everything if she was. Some of the comments online that anthem was interesting. Understatement is always the best. I love it her breakthrough single, more hearts than mine in twenty nineteen. But you gotta wonder who at Major League Baseball? Can you imagine? Is it Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Baseball? And that is still maybe I don't
know. But let's just say the commissioners gathering everybody after the All Star Game, and they're all around the table and they said, all right, guys, let's start. Let's go over the All Star weekend. Let's start with the home run derby and the selection of our singer for the national anthem. And all of a sudden, someone in that room is just slinking down in their chair. Yeah, looking both ways. Who did that? What bad choice? That's just you gotta fall on the sword on that one. You
can't point it out, can't blame it to anybody else you got. You just gotta own it if you picked her. But that was brutal. Twenty eight minutes after the hour, come back with the Big Stories in the press Box. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Charlie Strickland from the Talent Training Group at the top of the hour, alongside Jose Can you see and Grant Allen. I'm Preston
Scott. Welcome to the program. Big stories in the press box. We now know that there has been an elevated threat to Donald Trump in recent weeks and or months because of Iranian threats of an assassination in retaliation to actions Trump took as president. And so as a result of the Iranian threat, allegedly, Donald Trump has been enjoying enhanced protection by the security forces of the Secret
Service. This feels like deflection, right right, Like I'm not saying that Iran wouldn't have done something like this, because I'm sure they probably would make that kind of threat, but feels a little convenient, don't you think, No, I mean to me, No. What annoys me is that, Okay, you're claiming that there's an elevated threat and this is the best you can do to protect him. And you know what else has been pointed out, Dee, I could have cost him his life. Oh yeah, this
was the B team, C Team, D team. We got a bunch of female agents and one in particular that's not big enough to cover him. Yeah, literally too small in stature to cover his physical body. And it's like, no disrespect. But and then did you see the Secret Service that escorted him into the RNC. Yes, like big dudes, Yeah, Like okay, if it's secret Service. I mean at this point, if you're Trump, are you hiring Yeah, hire Eric Prince right, the guy that
ran Blackwater for so many years exactly. And you know what else occurs to me is is this comparison, Let's put a five foot seven, five foot eight female at left tackle to protect your star quarterback. I mean, it's a base comparison, but it accomplishes its purpose, which is that's ridiculous you it's you can't do that. Well, that's what we're doing with DEI inside
the Secret Service. Remember, kim Cheatles stated her goal wasn't to protect the president, the first Lady, the first family, and former presidents Clinton, Obama, uh Bush Trump. Her goal was to have more women, more ethnic diversity. What this is a Again, I'm pointing out to you the things to hold on to to dismantle this stuff whenever, wherever you you see it and hear it, you dismantle it. This is what DEI get you. That's not and and there isn't a woman on the planet that should be
offended by that. There may be some women that are behemoths that can do the job. I don't know if so. Like I have no objection to women being snipers. Women are really good shots. I have no objection to women being pilots. They're incredible pilots. There are a lot of jobs in the military. If you want to put women in there, that's fine. It's not my first choice because they're wired differently. But that said, this
is an example of where DEI literally can get someone killed. Then we hear the head of the Secret Service now saying that it was the pitch of the roof on the building the shooter was at well certainly didn't provide a problem for him. So trained military, secret Service or police snipers can't handle that pitch. That incline not to be overly silly, but I stand on a pitch far more severe and hang Christmas lights every year and do so with great accuracy.
I'm just saying, no, it's just that it's ridiculous. She needs to be fired immediately. We got some more big stories. We'll get to next forty minutes past the hours Morning Show Preston Scott Preston Scott, Good Morning on News Radio one hundred point seven UFLA. I was going to replay the sound of Amber Rose on the first night of the RNC, but just go back to the first hour of the podcast. If you missed the first hour of the show, you need to hear. I edited down the speech for
time purposes, five plus minute speech. She's a model, a social media person, TV personality, entrepreneur, and she explained how she came to be a supporter of Donald Trump. She hated him, and she took the challenge of her dad, prove it. You think he's a racist and a bigot, prove it. And she did some digging and she found out, as all do, that the mainstream media was lying about everything. Comments at Charlottesville totally lifted out of context everything. I mean, it's just anyway, I'm
not going to air that again. Even though Van Jones of CNN, who is a huge Obama supporter and a massive I liberal, he called her speech not just most dangerous for Democrats, but quoting and so to the extent that these guys are trying to bust up our coalition that was a bunker buster right there. What is he referring to coalition? He's talking about the Democrats keeping
black voters in chains. He's talking about the fact that more and more Blacks, more and more Hispanics, more and more Puerto Ricans, more and more Cubans, more in many now, many Hispanic ethnicities lean right because it's cultural. I have maintained that within the black culture, historically they ought to lean right, but they have been deceived as a group. But that's changing.
Trump is changing it. I want to point out Trump did not feel a need to pander to black voters by putting a black male or female on the ticket. I got to say, I'm very, very glad that. I'm sure there was probably like a cacophony of people saying, you've got to have this VP pick that could get this vote, or this VP pick that gets He just just blew out of the water and was like, what guy is
going to fit the America First model? Arguably of the candidates, arguably the best, And I'm glad that he didn't succumb to that pressure that I'm sure was probably there even in GOP ranks, and as I pointed out earlier this week, it showed a maturity in Trump to pick a guy who was against him early vocally against him, and for a guy like Vance to say I was wrong. Isn't that like refreshing in a politician? I was wrong?
Wow? All right? Biden unveiling a plan to cap national rent increases at five percent added to the list of things the federal government wants to control it. I will not go into the reasons why that's a bad idea, And it has nothing to do with well, you don't care about people. No. I care a lot. I have family members that pay rent. I know, I get it. It's about how an economy works. And it's another area where government Joe Biden is trying to tell you how things are going
to be done. You have to stop this stuff and reverse it where you can. Consumer sentiment lowest level since December twenty twenty three. Remember all the bills, all the talk, all the chatter. Inflation continues and people are angry, and Biden flying migrants from California to Texas. Even if you subscribe to the idea that it's okay to bust and fly these people other places. I'm okay with DeSantis doing it because they've been busted and flown here and so
he's just moving them on. My problem here is, okay, if you're going to do this, put them in a state that doesn't have a bunch of problems with it that welcomes migrants that are illegally in this country. And that's the other thing. Even the headline alone, flying migrants, they're not
migrants, they're illegal migrants. There's a difference. Ask someone who immigrated to this country legally, they'll tell you there's a big freaking deal of a difference between someone who came to this country legal and worked hard and went through the process and those that have broken into this country and invaded it. Forty seven minutes after the hour, classic sound from the RNC. Next The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, this just came in from one of the
research assistants, allegedly the best line of last night's RNC. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, now governor right of the state of Arkansas. Check this out. When I was President Trump's White House Press secretary, the best job I got the chance to take my four year old son Huck to bring your kid to workday, much like Jill now drags Joe to bring your husband to work out standing ovation there. But but this happened on the first night, and it's just
it's just too good to pass up. This is Reverend James Romicky of the Messiah Lutheran Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And what he did before giving the benediction, Well, I'll just let him introduce it. This is a pleasure to be here, great pleasure to see President Donald Trump safe. And if I may, before the benediction, give you this promise. You're gonna be so blessed, you're gonna be tired of being blessed. I guarantee it. Believe me. Let us pray. Check out the prayer in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. Grant that we remember your generosity and constantly do your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. We give thanks to you for keeping President Trump safe.
We prayed for the families of those affected by the demonic violence at the rally on Saturday, and we pray you would send your holy angels to guard and keep President Trump from all harm and danger. Grant that we who came from many nations with many different languages, may become a united people. Support us in defending our liberties. And give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit and wisdom that there may be justice and peace in our
land. When times are prosperous. May our hearts be thankful, and in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Now that, my friends, is the first. What a brilliant channelingland Trump. Yeah. It was a good You're gonna be so blessed. Yeah, the mannerisms, he had a little bit of the voice there, just a little bit. It was good. You do it far better than I. I've never been able to really pull off Trump.
Nobody does it better than I do. No, Actually, there are lots of people, but it's still it's funny when and you knew right away, oh my gosh, he's doing this. He did it. Yeah, but when he got down to praying, that prayer was so focused and correct. It was appropriate, it was measured, it was humble and contrite, and it was wonderful. All Right, we're going to transition now to the
third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, five passed the hour third hour Morning Show with Preston Scott's Show fifty one ninety seven. Over there in studio one as Grant Allen and producer of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Jose can you see? And that is jose C a n U s E at iHeartRadio dot com. But with me in studio is ladies
and gentlemen. He's the co founder of the talent training group talentrange dot com and the co host of Talent Outdoors and more importantly than all of that, our friend Charlie Strickland. Hey, Hey, how are you. I'm fantastic glad to be back in the studio. Yes, it's so good to have you back. Seems like forever it's been since May. I felt a little cold shoulder. Well I just you know, since May, I thought I may be back one day. But anyway, sorry missed you last month.
But vacations or vacations. When they make you take the day off, what do you do? What are your day off? You take it? At least you told me before I got up at five o'clock in the morning and drove You're welcome. Welcome obviously one of the first people that I thought of after you know, the events on Saturday unfolded and I'm like, we need to get some insight on this, and I was really grateful that we were
going to have a segment with either you or JD. But you have served as a sniper, you have trained snipers, and you have personal experiences in situations where presidents are president. Yeah. No, I was a sniper on the Lyn County SHEARSOF SWAT team for about eight years. During my tenure on the SWAT team over about nineteen years, and we've done a lot of long range or rifle scope, rifle long gun type training through the agency, with
other agencies and with civilians. So yeah, I've got a little little bit of time behind one. I've done governor's inaugurations with former president at the podium with his son Jeb Bush back in the first Bush inauguration here in Tyler hassee so you know when we do a lot of the big of the So I've done vice presidential escorts on a motorcycle here in town. You know, sort of know how things work locally, or at least how they did. They don't. Things don't change much. But so, yeah, I been down
that road a couple of times. What do you think is important for people to know about just the broad general nature of providing protection and sniper protection for a president or former president or the first family. Well, it's not the Secret Services responsibility to provide outer and a lot of the inner perimeter security. They rely heavily, almost exclusively in these cases on local law enforcement to do
that. When I worked, and I don't know what's going on now, I'm not giving anyway any trade seekers, but when I worked until as Police Department's team took the prayer breakfast down at FAMU rooftop security and general security, and the Sheriff's office team took the rooftop security. I was on one of those teams for the rooftop security with sniper teams at the capital during the actual inauguration, and because of the overlap and the time, we had to split
our resources. But there's a lot tall hasse has a lot of resources in that way, But there were no Secret Service sniper teams. They didn't bring those. I don't know what they do when the actual president is here. Typically they don't have sniper teams on rooftops because they're not outside events. So my experience would be somewhat limited as it relates to large outside campaign events, although we have done campaign events for other people. Typically they're inside, but
just know that the Secret Service will come in. They will do a survey, they'll do a scouting visit, and they will meet with local law enforcement, the chain and command. They will sit down, they will brief. Everybody has an operational plan, all right, that's shared. They should have communications channels established so that people can talk to each other. There's a command post established so that communication is shared freely. That information should get around real
quick. I mean when we were doing inaugurations, and I'm sure they still do. You have everything from Secret Service, dethde, different state agencies uniformed and playing clothes all over the place, and then you have those people in positions up in the air. When we when we do that, we're looking at open windows, we're looking at rooftops, let me let me stop you for a second. You talk about a sniper team and a we give us a little bit more. It's a two man team. Okay, two person
teams, excuse me nowadays. And so you have a primary shooter and then you have a spotder. Typically, you know, both of them are qualified the same they can both do the same thing. You might have one primarily looking through binoculars and another through a rifle scope. You've got somebody who's going to, you know, be designated to take that shot. Typically, but it changes. You know, everybody has a rifle, everybody has binoculars.
Everybody is responsible for looking a lot. But the teams not technically primarily focused on just rooftops. They're looking at the crowd, they're looking for suspicious action, they're looking for all kinds of things. So when you look at what happened up there, those people had a lot more responsibility than just the rooftop. We're going to talk more about Charlie's experiences that can give us kind of a broad view of the job, the responsibilities, and then we're going to
zero in on what happened on Saturday. The best we can do that still with Charlie Strickland. Ten past the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The fastest three hours in media. And don't be surprised if you have a chuckle here and there, just like that. Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Back with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. We're talking about his time as a sniper and doing it high profile
events former presidents, governors, et cetera. And Charlie, let's talk a little bit more about that advance planning. You know, when they come in and they do a site evaluation, are they determining the spots where they will have people positioned, whether it's Secret Service or local law enforcement. That's planned
that well in events. Now, you keep in mind these campaign events as they come up and during campaign season, you have to understand the volume of these things that are going on in these rallies and to get the staff, especially for a former president although he is the nominee and the leading candidate and all that stuff, to get qualified competent experience people out to not for the
president but for other people that get Secret Service protection. Sending these people out and doing the advanced scouting working with local law enforcement, it can be overwhelming, I'm sure. However, local law en enforcement knows how to do these
things, and it's all they would have to do. In Tyler Hasse's call and say hey, we're coming into town, and they could literally walk in and local law enforcement would hand them the operational plan and say this is what we're going to do, and all they'd have to do is approve it.
Because there are very very competent, very very intelligent people in those positions here that know the area and know the town, know the threats, and have a background in providing the same type of security in the same type of areas. Don't think for a minute that in that town up there that local law enforcement didn't. They've probably responded to calls there before, they've worked security there before, They know that place, So a plan would have been in place.
They would have had a map, they would have had diagrams, they would have had areas that they would have been concerned with. What was the threat, what wasn't all that's there, that's not, that's not They don't have to reinvent the wheel when they come into a place. I mean, if there was an event at the Civic Center here in Tyla Hassee. Lord, they've done some many there. I mean, it just take an old op plan, get out, change a few things, and go, this
is what we're going to do. It's not rocket science. Before we get to the specifics of the moments of the shooting and the reaction of the snipers, which we've talked a little bit about off the air, let's go back to before there was ever a gun that was in the direction of the former president. What were the mistakes made leading up to that? Well, first off, they should have had Now that that rooftop that even though it was
it wasn't so severely pitched that somebody couldn't be on it. It was I've been on call outs behind a rifle where I literally had to hold on to the peak of the roof with one hand to keep from sliding down it while I was handling a rifle to the other hand. I mean, and I'm scared of heights, but you still do what you have to do. That roof could obviously could be easily be accessed. There should have been somebody on it. Now, the problem with that is if you put somebody on the
roof, then your counter snipers. Your snipers look and they have to make sure that's the person. But there, you make sure they're easily identified. You can always put somebody on every rooftop because of downtown. Tyle hasse to think about it when we do events now here, we're worried about somebody six hundred yards off in another building that has line of sight on the Capitol. It's complicated, but it wasn't there. It was not there. It would
have been very simple. And I think the okay, so they obviously didn't have a law before you have an inner perimeter, you've got Secret Service securing the president, and then you've got an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter and you've got people roving around. Okay, for this kid to have been able to get into the perimeter like that, particularly with a rifle. And granted it wasn't the inner perimeter that he was in. He wasn't in the event.
Okay, he was outside the event, but he was seen one hundred and thirty yards away and seen. I want to get to that. We got a pause here real quickly. We're going to come right back Charlie Strickland with us. We're going to talk about that thirty minutes when he allegedly was confronted and photographed by a law enforcement officer. Starady, there, we're gonna move forward. Sixteen minutes past the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Twenty one minutes past the hour, got some time here with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Perfect person to talk to about the events that unfolded Saturday. Thankfully, Donald Trump was not killed. Sadly, tragically, someone else was and others injured. Charlie, we go back to the spotting. Law enforcement spotted this guy with what the guy initially thought was a rangefinder, and they took a photo part at the state police. State police basically
disregarded it. Where is the mistake made? Well? Terry v Ohi says that you can detain someone if you suspected a crime has man or is about to be committed or is being committed. They had every right to go approach that person and question him on hey, what is that in your hands? What are you doing? And nobody would have thought twice about it. So, hey man, you got in your hands there, let me see that. What are you doing with a range finder? You know? Now,
first off. I only want a kid would have used a range finder. It's one hundred and something yards. You don't even have to you don't have to take range into consideration at that distance. And if he scouted this thing out out of the time, why was he doing that? But you know, so what he did. He's a kid. You know, he's like twenty years old, but still he's a kid, and he's technical, technically minded. He's an engineering student or had a degree in some sort of engineering,
and he's kind of a little bit of a nerd. He's intelligent guy. Should they have ever lost sight of him, No, they should have the minute they saw that. Now for a citizens said hey there's a guy at a range finder and here's a picture of him. And law enforcement has a duty to then put out a bowlow tell everybody, hey, we need to look for a guy that looks like this and this is what he was allegedly doing. And if they even if you know, it wasn't a weapon.
So I don't know what to stop Trump from coming on stage or anything until they found him, but they had it there been seen with a weapon that would have been different. So yeah, they should have gone and found this kid. They should have detained them. They shouldn't have passed it along. They should have went right then and said, hey, man, what you got in your hands. That's that's a no brainer. Let's move forward.
We know that one and a half to three minutes before the shooting began, he was seen, he was videoed, he was visibly crawling prone along the roof. They're they're screaming at police, they're screaming to secret Service at that point. What were the mistakes? Well, everything should have been the
minute law enforcement knew that they should have transmitted on the common channel. They should the people on the snipers on a rooftop should have been told, we have somebody on this roof and that number that building would have been named or numbered or something, and they should have been staring at the top of that roof. Now, that roof was slanted and where that kid was crawling up the roof would have been out of sight of those snipers because of the pitch
of the roof. And if you watch the videos, he's low crawling, he's berey crawling up there below the ridge cap of that building, so they they would not have seen him, and if they did see him, they would have seen the top of his head. They wouldn't have seen the rifle that he was sliding along the ground, starts a rooftop trying to get up there, so what you know, they're not sure what they have without clear
communication. But at that point, wouldn't it have been prudent to simply say, get President Trump off the platform until we secured this if it was yeah, I mean, if it was me, of course. You know, he's not one to just run off the stage at the mere drop of the hent of a threat understood. But at the same time, he also does three hour rallies. So what's a couple of men. Well, I don't know what the people that were that were handling President Trump knew, and without
that knowledge, it's hard to say. But in a perfect world, yes, there's a person on a rooftop. We need to get you down, get him to a position, getting back to the limo. You know, I'm sure that was a bulletproof limo. If nothing, they're going to get him to a position of safety, resolved the issue, and let him come
back up. And he go up very eyes. You know, the world is trying to kill you know whatever, But that should have been done but I don't know what type of communication was given to the team that handles them versus the ones on perimeter. The fact is local law enforcement. I hate to go back to this because that's me. Local law enforcement was given the responsibility to secure that building, and they didn't and they didn't put anybody on
the roof. And who showed up or didn't show up. They had dozens and dozens of state and local law enforcement and I include state in with local
YEP there and their job was to secure these buildings. How do you and I don't care how many you could have had an army inside the building, but unless you have somebody out there watching the rooftop, watching the perimeter, if nothing else, if you don't have anybody on the roof, you put somebody on opposite corners, and your job is to watch that and make sure nobody cross it. How complicated is that? It's not? The ball was clearly dropped, you know. So yeah, there was ample opportunity for them
to have prevented this from happening. And honestly, if they had approached this kid when he had to arrange for or binoculars or whatever and spoken to him, he probably would have given up on his plans because any level of resistance would have stopped this from occurring. Well, at that point, he's got to have his rifle nearby. I understood he was carrying it in a in a some kind of backpack or something. The bottom line is, regardless,
they would have probably had ample reason to arrest him. But if you have a if you have a forty eight or fifty something inch long backpack, that's kind of a clue. I mean that's not your standard length. No, I mean whatever. He apparently had a ladder stashed in some plants nearby, and that is how he got up there. But well, well, how does that happen? Yeah? I mean how do you not notice the ladder
and then just move it? Get it out of there? You got a guy with a tactical bag and a ladder that he just bought at home depot walking up to do you have presidential I mean, come on? Does that? How does that happen? How? In there's there should be some hit the head of the secret Service ahead of whatever team was it putting that plan together, probably a police chief for some other people. All need to like go find an island and move on it somewhere, but they all need to
quit or get resigned when we come back. Charlie has a thought on the shooter himself, who will remain nameless at least on this broadcast twenty seven past the hour The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA coming up to thirty six minutes past the hour with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group talked about his background as a sniper, trained snipers and being
involved in details involving former presidents and what that all looks like. And then we've kind of transitioned into the events of Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, and I want to ask Charlie your impressions, your analysis of what happened from the sniper's perspective, okay, from the law enforcement sniper on the rooftop, but looking at his actions, what I saw was very clearly he's scanning, looking. All of a sudden he hears shots, something happens. He startled because
he wasn't expecting that. You got to figure how many times he's been on a rooftop doing this type of work and then all of a sudden something happens, and he came off the scope. Because you're looking through a scope, you're looking at a magnificed, magnified image. You don't see the whole field of view. He came off of the scope to see what he could see with his eyes. That's a subconscious move. He had to look and take in the scene and see what it was. He recognized where the threat was
coming from. He went back to the scope, back to the rifle, and very quickly was able to engage. I applaud his actions. I don't think he could have done any better at that point, given the limited information that he probably had. Because where that where the shooter was coming up over that ridge cap on it slanted roof, slightly slanted roof, he would have
popped up and not presented much of a threat. And then you look in there's a white roof and behind that from that angle was probably trees and things that blended in. So you're not going to have just a head with a white background behind it, or you know you're going to be trying to pick that out. So I think he did the best he could under stress, he performed very well. He was very well trained, in my opinion, unlike the Secret Service agent that couldn't find her holster and had a vacant look
on it. Let's talk about that that was critical incident stress. In actually, that's a pure example of critical incident stress. Tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, reduced cognitive ability, all the things. She did not anticipate that it occurred, and she sort she crouched down behind all the people that were moving to president. She's out there. She can't find her holster and she holds hers that gun every day when she puts it on, takes it off at
the house or should. She's probably been through all kinds of advanced firearms training, couldn't find her now. Physiologically, women who wear at the waistband like that are disadvantaged because they're built different than men. Men can wear on the waistband and reach the holster easier. For a lot of women, particularly shorter statued women, that pistol is almost up in their armpit and it is very difficult to reach. And that's not her fault, and that's not really a
training issue. It's the fact that when you choose gear that rides that high for concealed carry, a lot of times reholstring is not and it's really not that important. Now she gave up and went back and just started carrying it again. I saw some images where she was actually scanning the crowd, which I there again I can understand, but looking at the look on her face and her body language, she was in that critical incident stress mode where she
was not reacting well. And I think that's a lack of training and lack of preparedness and lack of evaluating their performance. And you know, sometimes you put and I don't know her, but I would say, you've tossed in a weak link and chain. And I don't think it's because she's a woman. I think it's just because they they felt like they had to put somebody in there and before we run out of time going to the shooter and the motives, Well we got another segment. Well yeah, we got another segment.
So I still think that if you put your a team, you put your a team out there. They don't have those issues. Now I didn't. They're in those times like that. Law enforcement, federal law enforcement, state law enforcement. You have different tiers. I just don't think you put someone who is not on that that should not be at the tip of the spear at the end of the way. You don't put them at the tip
of the spear. I mean, you're disadvantaging yourself this. There's plenty places you can put people like she'd been great on the rooftop, yeah, but that wasn't They don't put secret services for her to be in the light of let's put it that way. I just well, and I don't think you'll
ever see her in this position again because of the image. But I think they learned to really valuable lesson when it came to staffing there again, not because she's a woman, because she's a poorly trained, poorly prepared, poorly trained, poorly prepared agent period. Charlie Strickland with me. More to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven double UFLA or on NewsRadio double UFLA Panama
City dot Com. And we're back Charlie Strickland with me from the Talent Training Group and leaning on his background and knowledge of these types of situations. And we're going to end with the shooter himself, not to name him. You know my policy on that and I think you agree with it. I don't even know his name. I don't want to know his name. I ignore it. You have some thoughts though, Okay, so you know that you always go back to and we all want to read their their their, uh
what's you called? When they write to think manifest I want to read there. We always we always want to know. And I teach a lot of actor shooters courses for responsive act shooter courses, things for for nonprofits and government entities and and businesses and whatever and churches and everything else, and we're we
do this out it. We've got one coming up the first week of August, uh out there through one of the concealed care insurance providers that we work with, and they requested specifically that that we go teach another one because of this in reaction to it. So I look at these and always throw a slide up of all the active shooters mass murderers and talk about the lack of a pattern because they are from so many different diverse backgrounds and races and religious
uh leanings and all that. However, there is a very common pattern amongst particularly younger white males, and those are the bullied slightly nerdy was nothing wrong being a nerd. But the uh, there's a bit of a pattern and this kid fits that pattern almost to a t. And the reason I say this is because people question, okay, well, okay, why did this happen? Well, in my opinion, and this is just my humble opinion,
I see an active shooter. I see a person that fits the profile perfectly, if there is a profile, and if this had not, if this event had not fallen into his lap, like ten miles from his house and afforded him an opportunity to live in infamy. I mean his his his name is his face, his his his story or whatever it is. Uh. I think this kid would have shot up a school in the next six months. I think he would have gone to a mall. He would have
gone to a school. He would have done something far more deadly and far more tragic. He was prime for it, based on everything that I see. This just gave him a chance. I don't even know that he didn't like Trump. I think I think that deep down this kid was waiting for an opportunity to do exactly this type of thing, and so he would have gone into a school. He would have done something like this. He just had a perfect opportunity for him to make a name for himself because he wasn't
overtly political, he wasn't overtly vocal about anything. He was a quiet kid, didn't even have much of a social media presence. As as you said, Yeah, so why did he do this? I think it was just the perfect opportunity for him to become somebody. And we're all not we but the world has given him everything. He's accomplished everything every active shooter every wanted to do. He's got his name in the news, he's gonna he's the
most famous one. He's he's beat them all at their game. Because you said, in his mind he thinks he killed Trump, I think he did. I mean I think when he died, when that bullet went through his skull, I think that in his mind he saw he fired a shot, he saw Trump go down, he fired a few more follow up rounds. I think he died thinking that he killed President Trump. I mean, that's what the last thing that he saw other than small thirty caliber projectile comingstraighted his
face. But I don't know that he saw that. Yeah. In closing, is there anything moving forward that matters knowing now what we know that the Iranians have allegedly put a hit out on Trump. Other than I think to
myself, a real professional would have killed Trump the other day. Well, I will say that if I were going to any political events with Trump there, I wouldn't be looking out windows, I wouldn't be going on rooftops, and I certainly wouldn't be acting suspicious or exercising a whole lot of my Second Amendment rights to open carry in some of these states where they do that stuff, because you're going to be shut down. They're going to lock him down
tight as a drum. Don't get your feelings hurt, because this is going to change the way this stuff is done and for a long time to come. I know Trump likes to have these big events. I think he may see although you know, I looked at the expression on his face and I saw his actions, and I'm I'm it changed my opinion of him to some degree. I still think he's a bit of a jerk. I don't really
want to go have coffee with him. By support him politically, and I support his his his his actions as president hopefully to be president again, I certainly am voting for him, but it changed my opinion of him just a little bit. I think he actually has some of the some of the quality fortitude that and I think the whole world sees the fortitude that he had after that and then compares it to who's in office now. And I think if we can get Trump back in office and our country has a chance of maybe
taking that leadership roll back again. And so I think if anybody was on the fence, they certainly ought to go in this direction now. But that's just my opinion. Next for the time today, Yeah, sure, Charlie Strickland with a talent training group again. Find him online talent range dot com. Forty seven past. What an eventful day, huh. First of all, that is going in the twelve Days of Preston, because that was a
tremendous segment talking about all of the considerations. There's things I learned absolutely listening to Charlie talk about stuff on and off air as it relates to his own personal experiences and you know, all of the things that happen with these types of events, He's done them, and so so having Charlie's perspective I thought would bring another level of appreciation for just everything that goes into these events. We know that mistakes were made and they were huge, right, But the
fact of the matter is we now have a little better perspective. And I think his perspective on the shooter is interesting that as terrible and tragic as it was, there might have been something worse down the road because of the profile this kid was fitting. But anyway, my thanks to Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group for coming by. I hope you enjoyed that that visit. It's going to be a conversations podcast as well.

All right, despite what the Secret Service director says, they screwed up. Locals probably screwed up. There's blame to go around. They didn't get it done. You know, the
bottom line is they didn't get it done. Someone got killed. Others got hurt, and a former president likely future president, was injured, was hit with a bullet. They didn't get it done, it is said simple. According to Dan Bongino, there was supposed to be somebody on that roof. And also, according to Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent sources telling him that Kim Cheatle, she's been told if you want to keep your job,
keep your mouth shut. No more interviews. So we'll see Biden administration flying migrants illegal from California to Texas only costing US eighty thousand dollars a flight. This just more money that you're paying for. You're paying for those flights. Did you know that consumer sentiment declined to the lowest level since last year.
