Ep. 5220: Election results and comments from the Obamas

got JD. Johnson. Third hour, little personal defense. We'll talk about what a Harris Wall's presidency looks like for gun owners because the stated platforms are there, talk about some stories in the news things we can learn from it, plus give you a training tip. That's all coming up in the third hour. But between now and then, my ow my, we like to start with a verse of scripture.

And as we pointed out in the last week and a half, this is really all about trying to jump start your kid's day, putting a little bit of God's word in their life, because here's the thing, one day, you're not going to be there. Parents, we generally outlive our kids, and we want to impart things into our children's lives that as they grow older they can rely on, they can turn to, they can trust they can have faith in everybody lives by faith, even those that claim

not to they do. And so these verses are intentional, as every verse is, but specifically these first couple of weeks of the school year to just kind of get you thinking about how to approach this time, reminding you make sure you send your kids to school with prayer

versus scripture. I'd reverse that versus scripture. Then some prayer, a hug, square, look in the eyes, get down on right there, look them in the eye, and with a big smile on your face, say I love you, and give them a big hug, kiss on the forehead, the cheek. Just no doubt, mom, Dad, let them know they're loved. Here's the verse today. This is Matthew six. Therefore, do not be anxious saying what shall we eat? Or what

shall we drink? Or what shall we wear? This is thirty one, and it goes on to verse thirty two saying, for gentile, seek after these things, and your heavenly father knows you need them all. Here we get to it. Here's the hammer, But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. All these things will be added to you.

The peer pressure on our children begins early. What they're wearing, what they have, what kind of phone they're carrying, Which is why I'm a big believer in nixing that up front flip phone emergencies only, thank you, but that pressure starts early. Kids. Don't worry about that stuff. Seek God. God knows what you need. Parents, we got you. Seek first the Kingdom of God. What a great reminders. Tuck that in the lunch box. No matter what's going on today,

don't worry about anybody else. What they've got, what you got, what they don't have, what you don't have to seek God, He's got it. He's got the rest. Ten past the hour, take a peak inside the American Patriots Almanac, look at this date in history, and then we will start to unpack some election results. Give you a snapshot of the DNC last night. And oh my goodness, gracious, have I got a thought or two to share. So stay with us. It's gonna be a good day. Son's gonna come up.

It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Eleven past the hour, August twenty first, eighteen thirty one. Nat Turner leads a violent slavery bolt in Southampton County, Virginia. Deep dive here eighteen fifty eight. August twenty first the first of the famous Lincoln Douglas debates in Illinois between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, both running for the US Senate. There were seven debates

in all, the first in the town of Ottawa. They said, the prairies a blaze as people flocked by the thousands to see the tall, lanky Lincoln match wits with the short, square shouldered, broad chested Douglas. The debates centered on the question of whether slavery should be allowed to exp banned into US territories. Douglas, a famous sitting senator, argued that the people of each territory should decide whether to allow

slavery in their land. Lincoln opposed any expansion of slavery, which he regarded as quote moral, social, and political wrong. The final debate, Lincoln argued, quoting, that is the issue that will continue in this country when these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent. It is the eternal struggle between two principles. The one is the common right of humanity. The other is the divine right

of kings. It is the same spirit that says you toil and work and earn bread, and I'll eat it, no matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and lived by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.

Newspapers across the country followed the debates. Although Lincoln lost the Senate race to Douglas, his arguments helped turn him from a relative obscure prairie lawyer into a national figure. The Lincoln Douglas debates were the most important since the ratification of the Constitution. Lincoln showed a mastery of law, philosophy, and history that raised him above not only Douglas, but ultimately every other statesman of the age. Thus he would

become President of these United States. On this date. In eighteen eighty eight, William Burrows of Saint Louis Pattent's the first successful adding machine.

making Hawaii the fiftieth state. So there you go. Today in the program, we will take you inside the Democrat National Committee, Michelle Obama delivering remarks that are I will with hold my commentary until I let you listen. I'm gonna let you listen to a clip, unedited, uninterrupted, just gonna let it roll for a couple minutes. You kind of form your thoughts on what it, what it means, what it says, and then I'll offer a little of

my thoughts on it. As I said, We've got some election results, not just local but state of Florida as well. Some surprising other stories in the news that we'll get to like, almost shocking. Some interesting developments in the campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Very interesting developments. So we'll talk about all that more this morning, and then of course our visit with J. D. Johnson. So stick around sixteen past, just get and started, grab yourself some coffee,

and hang out for a while. My Hearts radio station. Compared to the state of Florida, Leon County just busted down the the voting precincts to vote. When my wife and I voted, we were the only two in the room. Statewide, the numbers twenty two point three five percent voted, less than one in four. Yeah, I'm letting that sit for just a second. In and Leon County that number was thirty one point three three percent, less than one in

three voted. Jefferson County forty eight point seven percent, Gadsden County thirty eight percent, will Color County forty percent. We'll stay focused on Leon County here. I would love to understand, and I probably could take some calls on this one day, given that the majority of people didn't vote. I would love to understand why. Now. I think an argument could be made that you cannot settle an election in the primary. I don't care if you're running out apposed, you're automatically in.

When the qualifying date ends, no one's running it against you, You're in. That's fine. But I have a growing problem with the fact that we're going to roughly double the turnout roughly in November, and yet there are races that are settled, and I just I think that's wrong. Now. At the same time, here's what balances that in my mind. But you're given the opportunity to vote, and anyone who listens to this program should darn well know that races will be settled in the primary, because we said it

every time we talked about it. Now this isn't coming from Look, there are runoffs that are coming. Candidates that I personally favored. One candidates that I personally favored lost. I didn't have a say in some of the races that I care deeply about. I didn't have a say. I don't live in the city, but two better than two thirds of the people of this county didn't vote. I'm trying to get my brain around that. It's nothing. Now, the numbers have been going down a little bit. I mean,

for the state, twenty two percent. I think an argument could be made though, that under no circumstances should an election outcome be determined by a primary election, we need to call it something else. Then if we're going to settle races, then it can't be called a primary. Do you get my point? Because a primary is a preliminary race,

but it's not. There are races that were settled, and I understand that by opening it up to the general election, there are certain races that might flip and my favorite candidate might lose. I get that. Anyway, Jack Porter won reelection for the city seat one disappointed. Disappointed that not enough of you paid attention and this sounds so elitist, don't understand the nuance of the issues. We did our

best to explain him to you. That's fine. Dot Inman Johnson was the leading vote getter, but did not get fifty percent. She came up well short of fifty percent Curtis Richardson, and she will be in the runoff the incumbentist, Curtis Richardson. The strategy employed by I'm guessing the Democrat party to put a Republican on the ticket, even though it's not listed as a Republican. She was promoted as a Republican don and Nyak. She got five point six

percent of the vote and didn't spend a dime. And Bernard Stevens got four point one percent of the vote. And I think the last time he checked he had two hundred and fifty bucks in his campaign account. Did he I don't think he spend any money either. He just went around ranting and raving about stuff. I guess. So that's just under ten percent of the vote. That's that determined the election, along with the low turnout. The other runoff is County Judge. It'll be Robert Churchhill and

Lashawn Riggins Kee. Now can Yemi won reelection. Neil Dunn easily won the Republican primary for the congressional district. Rick Scott won his primary on the on the Democrat side of the ticket. Oh Roseanne Wood won the school board race easily and Laurie Cox won her race, so she's back in office. Debbie Murcell Mercursell Powell, sorry she is the good luck with that one. She's the Democrat nominee to run against Rick Scott. She didn't have a chance.

Darryl Parks won the state Senate Democrat primary and District three. He'll take on Corey Simon. We'll talk more about that as we go twenty eight past the hour, big stories in the press box are coming up next. Do not miss use Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA. You follow us on x Twitter because you just never know when

I'm going to post something. For example, I was watching Fox News last night and they popped a graphic up on the screen and I took a picture of it mentions at Night one of the Democrat National Convention, and I wrote on my post, this is why the DNC is not worth watching. Most of these folks only care about beating Trump, little to anything about helping fix what they've broke In the last three and a half years.

All the proof you need crime was mentioned six times the entire evening, the border eight times, the economy twenty eight times, Donald Trump by name one hundred and sixty times. Then we come tonight too.

just saying it. But it's my job to point out that is a synthesized, distilled version of last night covering Kamala's record, injecting race and trying to paint any opposition to the Obamas is racist. It's not racist. They're just wrong. There's a difference. Forty minutes past the hour, More Big Stories next A News Radio one hundred point Sevenbusla forty two past the hour, More big Stories in the press box this morning. Kamala Harris will not take part in

a Fox News debate on September fourth. Now I am fascinated by this. She will debate on ABC and NBC, but she will not debate on Fox. Why is it that illiberals are so picky about what forums and debates they take part in. The rule applies to local candidates here in the capital city of Florida. The rule applies to national candidates like Kamala. Why are they so afraid of talking to first? Fox used to be in its

news straight down the middle. It actually is now maybe gravitating just a tad bitley left.

media outlets which will be to your left. I guess you might call a couple of other There are a handful of news outlets out there that are certainly like Red State and so forth, their right in their opinion stuff in the reporting. Not really, Fox though, is in the middle. But the middle is always to the right of left if you're looking at it. And that's why there's this myth of objective reporting being conservative or biased. It's not. It's just to the right of extremist left.

But it's so interesting to me. Now, some of you rewarded a local city commissioner, Jack Porter for not participating in forums and not answering questions on ethics charges. Likely violations will find out. That's my guess is she will be found guilty of the violation, and she'll own up to it now that she's been re elected. Just trust me on this. But that said, what is it about candidates on the left not wanting to be I mean,

I'd be like, I'll go anywhere. But then there's one more big story in the press by and this is potentially kind of a big deal, according to Nicole Shanahan, who is the unknown vice presidential pick for Robert F. Kennedy Junior, quoting, you know, there are two options we're looking at, and one is staying in and forming a

new party. But we run the risk of a Kamala Harrison Walls presidency because we draw votes from Trump, we draw more votes from Trump, or we walk away right now, join forces with Donald Trump, and you know, we walk away from that. Explain to our base why we're making this decision. So the Kennedy campaign wants no part of a Kamala Harris Tim Wall's administration, in part because the Democrats have been infiltrating their campaign to subvert it. This

is what democrats do. So it's a very interesting development. It's getting a lot of traction. It's scaring the big out of Democrats, and so it'll be interesting. I'll be honest with you, I'd consider putting Kennedy in a position

like I don't know, Department of Health. He was right about the COVID shots anyway, forty six almost forty seven minutes after the hour change, gears talk about something else next the Morning Show with Friends and Scott all right, I'm making a little bit of a deviation from the planned rundown of this program. I'll explain in just a

few minutes. But as I mentioned, get away from the see the political talk sort of because it does overlap the politics, especially with the protesting the way Joe Biden threw Israel under the bus on Monday night as it relates to the Palestinians that are protesting the disruptions on our college campuses. I mean, you know, we could go on and on on that. What did I tell you?

I've been telling you that the biggest reason for the delay in any kind of agreement in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, remembering that Hamas is a terrorist organization Israel is a nation, was that I believed that they just don't have many hostages still alive. They've killed them all. Well, guess what, yesterday they found six dead hostages in a tunnel. Israeli Defense forces recovered the bodies

of six hostages which were kidnapped on October seventh. They claim that they have one hundred and nine other hostages I don't believe that the arguments on a ceasefire deal. According to Maas, is Israel's demand for controlling two strategic corridors in Gaza. One is called the Philadelphi Corridor, the other is the Netzarim Corridor. Both of them, in the minds of Israel, are the areas that Hamas has used to smuggle weaponry into their into their possession and use

against Israel. Israel saying, we're not letting that happen again. They've already blown up a bunch of tunnels, but there's more. They want control of these two strips. Mas said it's a non starter. So that's what it. That's where we are right now. I'm just telling you, I don't personally know how you negotiate with people who are funded and to a large extent, run by a nation Iran, that

believes that Israel shouldn't exist. And that's been my long argument for supporting Israel and being part of whatever plan is needed to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran will use it. They will do what they feel like is their responsibility in the eyes of Allah, and eliminate Israel. Anyway, all right, here's what I want to do. I've got the phone lines open. I said something earlier and it was like, yeah, no, I'm not going to

put this off. And I know that this is touchy, and I'm just going to ask you to trust me that I'm not going to pick on you. I hope you know me better than that. I might prod and ask questions. I would like to hear from those of you who did not vote yesterday and just understand why. It could be as simple as I didn't think I was going to be out of town. I was out of town, Otherwise I would have early voted. What I don't.

I just want to know why you didn't vote. I'm not interested in the prime mar eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Thirty three percent voted. The rest didn't eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Why didn't you vote? If I passed the hour? It's the second hour show fifty two to twenty of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

I'm Preston, He's OASEAIA. Can you see in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B. Phone lines are open, and it doesn't shock me that no one is interested in explaining themselves, though you do live with a degree of anonymity. Now someone could recognize your voice, I suppose, But we do have people that listen across the country. But this question is directed to Floridians. Yesterday, in Florida,

only twenty two percent of registered voters voted. Seventy eight percent stay maid home or didn't bother and that twenty two percent includes mail, in early and in person. It's never been easier to vote than it is right now. Now you could make the argument, well, there you go. You've made it too easy, and now people just don't care. I think locally, at least in our county, the home of the capital of Florida, we have and I'm sure we're not the only county in the state that does

it this way. I think our primary system is just ridiculously foolish. There should not be a final election. There should not be a determined winner in a primary because the voting numbers are so suppressed, and we're seeing it happened. So I'm asking you if you didn't vote yesterday, I want to understand why, because I can't get my brain around it. Whether it was you didn't vote yesterday, you didn't mail in vote, or you didn't early vote. Why didn't you vote? And again, I'm not here to pick

a fight with you. I just want to understand the reasoning. You can't tell me seventy eight percent had a sick kid at home for the last three weeks. You cannot tell me seventy eight percent left the country and forgot. You can't tell me seventy eight or left the state and forgot. You can't tell me seventy eight percent didn't know there was a primary, Sorry forgot? So what is it is? It just discuss us. You just don't like any of the candidates, any of them. And I'm not

going to be labor this. I've got election results to talk about here, So let me leave it this way. The phone numbers you can call in anytime you're willing to explain yourself, and you are perfectly fine to say I don't have to explain. You're right, you don't have to explain yourself other than the fact that there are This is kind of my version of their charge their starving children around the world. When your kids don't eat food.

There are places in the country that would love to have the opportunity to vote in a I mean here in Florida, a fair election. They would love the opportunity. There are some that are saying the negativity is just disgusted me. I want no part of it. Okay, Well, you still then have to explain why the number doubles or triples for the general election. What is it that says stay home, don't vote, don't don't don't stop at the library on the way for the two weeks prior,

and get it done. I don't get it, people, and I just want to understand. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. When we come back, we're going to go through some election results, unless interrupted by some of you offering an explanation. If you want to call it an excuse, that's fine. I just don't get it. I don't so I'd love to hear from you. Eight five zero two zero five to WFLA, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Why didn't you vote at all? Two three four eight five zero two zero five to BFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. We do have a caller that is called in don't know if they want to go on the air. You don't have to use your real name. I don't care one last opportunity today because I'm going to keep asking it till I understand, and you can send me an email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. It's I'm not trying to go to you,

but it's interesting. It tells me that there's some embarrassment here that no one's willing to talk about it, you know. It's it's fascinating to me that.

Rick Scott, of course, advanced Neil Donne easily won. I don't even know. I don't know if I don't think anyone's running against Neil Dunn so that was the election. Got some local candidates we'll get to in a second. But all right, rut Leeds, tell me why'd you didn't Why why didn't you vote?

make a difference right now. But on the other hand, if we don't start making a difference and making our small vote count, then it's not ever going to change. So I really appreciate you bringing this up, and you know I'm part of the problem. If I'm not part of the solution.

little bit of stuff there. But at the same time, I'm almost so turned off by the whole election process right now, even on a national level. You know, even though I like Trump and I try to dig through things, you know, the silly things he says on both sides have just you know, that's to me, the most corrupt thing that you could be used to be a car salesman,

now it's a politician. I mean, so, you know, I just try to cut some of that drama out of my life, and I think it put me into a shell, be honest with.

and that's to make our voice heard. Luckily you are on the program and on the radio and sending out a message along with other avenues, but it takes the individual getting up and doing something. Unfortunately I did not get up yesterday and do anything.

it's even worse. Seventy eight percent stayed home or did not participate in voting, even though we have early voting. Seventeen passed the hour back with more calls. Steve, don't lay me. You're next on the morning show with Preston Scott. Getting a ton of email. I'll start going through those in a second. But Steven has been waiting very patiently. And the question is why you didn't vote, either in early voting, mail in voting, or in person. Steve, thanks for calling in.

get my vote cast. My wife voted much much later in the day, and I asked her what the machines read, and she said one of them read one hundred and the other one read about thirty. So one hundred and thirty people and accounting for you know, partisan divide and all that being a partisan primary, I would hazard a guess if I had about one percent of the say in my precinct for yesterday's vote cast, and that is way too much power for people to be advocating to me,

you should be making your own voice heard. Why would you trust me to vote on your behalf because essentially by staying home, that's what you're doing. So don't do that, you know, stand up and vote and during the primary, because your people vote, you actually have a greater say in the outcome of the primary, which is going to have a direct influence on the general election.

it in front of me. I have the nonpartisan sample ballot. The judges race was on there, so I can't help you with that one. Jess just wrote in I did vote, but I almost didn't because honestly, I did not know there was an election yesterday I've heard you guys talking about the local races, but I just assumed it was November. Then I heard you talk about it yesterday morning, so I made sure I went and vote. Roy wrote in, as an independent voter, I did not get to vote

in the primary for any party candidates. If I like somebody from either one, my choice is then away until it's that is changed. I'm stuck with the whatever is chosen, and the so called nonpartisan races are a joke. So that's why I did not vote yesterday. Will vote in general election. The problem with that, Roy, is their races are gone. Now. There are some races you didn't have a say and it might have made a difference. My wife and I voted, but my friends believe our elections

are rigged and no longer bother. That's pathetic because they're not rigged in Florida, no matter what you think about other places. Chris wrote in, I did not go to war, but many did so that I could vote. How can I never vote and flush their sacrifice down the toilet? Thank you? Chris. Michael wrote in I've asked several friends and some family if they were going to vote. The most common answers to those they chose not to vote

because elections are rigged. They don't think their vote will matter. Those are two different issues. Yes, your vote matters, even if it's to cancel out the vote of somebody who's voting opposite of what you want. Course, it matters. Rigged again not in Florida. Ray wrote in I voted, but being registered as an independent county resident, I literally had two races on my ballot. His wife had four races on hers. I wonder if lack of choices, lack of

races keeps some people from voting. I would imagine those are some of the excuses that are out there. I'm looking at an independent ballot, and there were one, two, potentially three races if you were in District two or four in the school board. If you weren't, then two races. But it still matters anyway. Pat wrote in voted by drop off at the Northeast Library. My daughter got an email that her vote was received and counted. My wife

and I got no such confirmation. I've fired off a question Pat to the Supervisor of Elections to ask a question on that. Twenty eight after the hour. There you go. Big stories in the press Box Coming up next, thirty six passed and the Big Stories in the press Box this morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scotti's hose can you see in Studio one am? Here in Studio

one B. I'm gonna just let this roll. This is to me one of the most horrifying set of comments, and I'm just letting you listen unedited, uninterrupted to one short two minute window of Michelle Obama last night at the DNC.

Rest assured Barack Obama is behind the the decisions that Joe Biden made in office. This was Joe's effort to live out Barack's third term in office. Kamala will be a fourth. But I want you to notice who introduced race into this entire dialogue and Donald Trump threatened by Barack and Michelle. I'm sorry, but that's kind of funny. It is. That's why so many embrace Trump. He doesn't need anything they have, they meaning the inside the Beltway crew,

the Uniparty. He doesn't need anything they have, and they desperately want everything he has. Forty minutes past the out more to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott forty two passed the hour. Little bonus weather content from Terry Smith.

their college loans far faster than women. The simplest explanation when you look at it is what men are focusing on versus what women are focusing on in school, for example, family, consumer sciences, health professions, related programs, public administration, social services, education, psychology, ethnic cultural gender studies, legal profession studies, foreign languages, interdisciplinary studies, communication, journalism,

related studies, liberal arts, general studies, humanities, visual performing arts. All of those are sixty percent up to eighty eight

percent female. Those are all programs dominated by women. When you get to business, law enforcement, firefighting, homeland security, architectural studies, related services, mathematics, statistics, history, physical sciences, science technologies, philosophy, religious studies, communication technologies, engineering, computer information sciences, engineering technologies, related fields, those who are all dominated by men. It's just it would seem that men make better choices as

it relates to education and career than women do. It would seem just on the surface. Now, there are always excepttions, right, painting with a broadbrush. But here's what's also interesting. If you overlay where student loans are being paid off or they're trying to pay them off, it seems as though student debt forgiveness is a form of a payout to loyal voters who are Democrats. Now I've called it a modern form of bribery. It's a modern form of paying

for votes. It's no coincidence that this stuff ramps up election year all the time DEM's trying to find ways to hand out more money to people to Obviously you're enslaving people to the government. But as you look at these numbers, it's also interesting because there's some professions that

are just undervalued in our culture. You know, Like if you look at some of these professions I've talked about emergency workers, law enforcement, so forth, I think they're undervalued, though the majority of them are men going into them, but they're undervalued. I think that it's a different argument with health care because healthcare is so confusing. It's a tangled web you've got right now. For example, you've got so many people having to be hired in healthcare to

just process paperwork. It's a massive industry. From just sheer anyway, just an interesting little snapshot. Men are paying off their college loans way faster than women, And when you boil it down, it all goes back to their choice of major. So if you've got kids heading into school, have them focus on where the jobs are. It may in fact help bring college costs down. If some of these programs

just go away because they're not needed anyway. Forty seven past the hour, Get you ready for Personal Defense in hour three. Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's go through a few random comments heard at the DNC so far. Joe Biden, We've had one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever period. I think he's dead on the money. Underscore the word progress as in progressive and progress in terms of what

they want to accomplish and transform in this country. Accurate statement, Mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago's the greatest freaking city in the world. I suppose that comes down to how you define greatest freaking city. You don't mind stepping over dead people. It's very clean. It's a clean city, unlike a lot of the big towns in California. President Biden, America, I gave my best to you.

you know, that's why people pay attention to this stuff. Hillary, It's tough for me to even see her name and not and not get this feeling of nails on a chalkboard or fork on a piece of china. Oh, just families building better lives, parents stretching to afford childcare, young people struggling to pay their rent. They're all asking us to keep going. None of that existed under Donald Trump.

And if there's anything that's happening in the country is more and more light bulbs are going off on that. Just that all of the things that she documented in that brief little statement, Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides. Are they still rolling that old trope out once again? All right, we're gonna stop. There more to come. I'm sure we come back. Jad Johnson will be joining us our personal defense segments, some stories from the news, and more. What

can we learn next? On the Morning Show five minutes that's the hour.

and I talk about. A lot fifteen year old on a public bus being kind of watched by a young man. She gets off the bus, goes into an apartment complex to visit friends. He gets off the bus and follows her. All of a sudden, what's heard outside is what sounds like this young girl being attacked. A neighbor comes out. She says, I'm fifteen, help me, and that man on the bus was attempting to rape her right there, broad

daylight on the ground. The neighbor runs upstairs and gets a gun, comes back out and chases the guy away. All in safely and well. They have yet to catch the attempted rapist. First, let's talk about advice we should be giving, especially our young daughters.

from around the country. And and so her mom and I last night were telling her about local cases that we had personal knowledge or personal involvement in. And the look on that child's face was kind of like, oh, my gosh, you know, that's really bad. It didn't make the national news necessarily, but it happened here, you know. And so I would say probably at fourteen or fifteen years old, when they're when you're starting to let them go out alone, you know whatever, And every kid is different.

We don't have any problem with our children like the older daughter or whatever. Our kid's going out to the to the store, to the mall, or not necessarily the mall, but to the store, to the movies, this, that, and the other. At sixteen, fifteen, sixteen years old, do.

and sure going unescorted. Now that they're old enough, I mean, they can run, they can scream, they know, you know, they're a little bit more capable of taking care of themselves.

figure Demi Tebow, Tim Tebow's wife. She's missed South Africa, Miss Universe. She's down in South Africa. Five men surround her vehicle in the middle of the day, a couple of them armed. She tried to get out and run from the carjacking. They said, you're coming with us. There are hundreds of people in this intersection. And so she commented in the story that her dad had forced her

to take self defense classes when she was younger. She punched the guy on the driver's side of the car, attempting to push her back in as hard as she could in his throat. She said, it bought me just enough time and I got away. I want to merge these two stories because she was about to become likely a rape victim, if not a murder victim. Sure, and she did whatever she could. That's what you gotta do, and that's what I want to drive home on what is you know we talked about the right age to

talk to kids about this. When do you start teaching your kids whatever they got to do and some things to think about.

set in on some of those. They've gotten a bunch of it at home at least, you know, they may not kids don't have the speed and the strength to do a lot of bodily harm, but if they know where to hit, where to punch, where to.

finger back to the trigger. The gunfires, goes under recoil, and it works like a push pull mechanism to it basically to physically assist you in pulling the trigger multiple times faster faster than you can well, unless you're Jerry Mitchlick, faster than you can physically pull the tr rigger just by twitching your finger. So uh that that's how they work. And it sounds like full auto fire rate, it's uh. It will increase your cyclic rate. Uh, substantially if you

use it right. It's complicated. They're complicated to use. They're not Uh. It's not a mechanical device per se that increases the number of shots. But if you use it right, it can make the gun shoot faster, make make more rounds come out. But you're still having to pull the trigger with the assistance of this thing. You're pulling the trigger every time for every shot fired.

able to have one. I also think that if you can afford a n one, a Abrams tank, you ought to be able to park one in your driveway, as long as you don't go rob banks with it or hurt people or whatever else. So machine guns suppressors, I don't think there should. I'm really against any regulation that

prohibits what you can own. And as long as you're not hurting anybody with it or good if you're not breaking the law otherwise, and you're not doing bad things with it, you should be able to park a tank in your driveway.

from there. Yeah, you know for a good quality, you know, for like an M sixteen. If you a transferable M sixteen right now on the market, it's about forty thousand dollars. Yeah, that's an.

And so we we talk about things that matter that could impact you and your family, and we also talk about things in the news, and in this case talk about a discussion I had earlier in the week with James Karafano with the Heritage Foundation twenty five years in the United States Army wanted to get his thoughts on recruiting and JD we got to talking about the fact that we as a nation are vulnerable right now because of the weakness in our military macro wise, I mean

in the micro. Yeah, We've got great tactical skills and very skilled people. We don't have a lot of numbers right now, right and they're not necessarily all being taught the things that normally you would teach young people preparing to go to war should something happen. So I asked this question I said, is the Second Amendment what separates this nation from the nations that could very well be invaded.

In other words, I don't think Russia invades Ukraine if the citizenry of Ukraine is armed as Americans are armed.

very true. I have seen some statistics looking at the population of adults in the United States and the number of guns that pretty much every if you averaged all that out, every every American owns thirteen guns. So if you look at the numbers, uh, And that's obviously not true because there's people listening to us right now that don't own a gun. I promise you this, I have

enough personally to arm my neighborhood. Sure, so it would make it very difficult and for a invading army to come into this country because of the insurgency that would happen from guys like me that are, you know, most of the time perfectly content to sit at the house and watch TV and grill out on the barbecue and not not bother anybody, we would be pushed into a position where we would we would pick take up arms and fight. And that's kind of what America has been.

And the reason for the one of the biggest reasons for the Second Amendment is so that the average citizen, if you go back and read the Federalist papers, our founding fathers wanted us to have the ability to fight back, not only against foreign invaders, but against the tyranny of government. Just that's what it says, you can. It's not about hunting, it's not about sports shooting. It's about the ability to fight back against an enemy of threat to our way of life.

And you want to make sure your sheriff's not gonna be the one coming to take your gun away from your knock on your door, take your freedom away from you, unless you're breaking the law, sure, and then you've got to at some point they have to search their soul to see what the right thing to do is. And that's why constitutional officers are so important in.

statewide voted, seventy eight percent didn't. Here locally in this county, the capital City county, thirty three percent voted and the rest didn't. You were just talking about the importance as it relates to what the sheriffs would do and what if they wouldn't do. You know, the importance of voting. Yeah.

of whatever out and take over that agency. It's very rare, uh circumstance, very rare. Agreed, you know, it is exactly it should be very rare, but it can happen.

It takes some of the complexity of side alignment out of the picture, and it lets you shoot with binocular vision where you're not closing one eye and aiming with one eye, so you're not giving up a lot of peripheral vision. So give them a try. That's it's since those things have come out. I made a prediction about five years ago that said, within ten I said, within ten years, you won't see a law enforcement agency that's not using red hot or.

of the spinoff series of the Star Wars movies? Is that something that you watch and or pay attention to it all? Not anymore? You used to? Did you like watch Mandalorian and all that? No, no, sir, you didn't. Oh okay, So when you say, I'm talking about like those TV series spinoffs? Oh right right, yes, yes, nope. Haven one. Yeah, Jared is I think a big fan of the Acolyte, but they've canceled it one season and out and and perhaps it maybe it had something to

do with lesbian space witches. I don't know, it's funny. They just can't seem to learn their lesson. Disney cannot learned. They're they're ruining even a legacy series and enfranchise that is iconic, like Star Wars. It's funny. I mean, people are just slow learners. And if I'm Disney's shareholder, I am just over it watching my value dump because Disney's insisting on on shoving the LGBTQ diversity, equity inclusion nonsense down my throat. I just I can't. I can't understand

what the fascination is with all of this. You're not you're not gonna win friends with the LGBTQ group. They hate you. You're not gonna win them over. And if you did, it doesn't bump the bottom line. But you're losing massive numbers. Just look at the Marvel series. It's tanked because of the political correctness. Anyway, I just I put in the rundown. You know, new Star Wars series Acolyte canceled after one season. Here's what I wrote, Oh well, brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the

morning show one on WFLA. I think a big topic on today's show is simply two numbers, twenty two and thirty three. Twenty two percent of the state voted and only thirty three percent of the Capitol County voter. I was outside and thinking about a JD and colleague walked out and said, well, where I'm from, we voted. Fifty percent of us voted, Like, yeah, you're proud of that. Fifty whoop whoop?

more about all this with Steve tomorrow. Interesting topics, folks, lots of things to pay attention to. We let you listen to a little of the DNC and the horrifying comments of Michelle Obama. Tomorrow we'll do it all again,
