You know what that means. Friends, Like a bounce check, we just keep coming back. Okay, maybe it's not. Nevermind. Welcome to Wednesday here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott and my apologies for missing a little time, but I'm not sorry. Hey, you just sometimes need to just right, you need you just need a little space, little time. Laur and are a little work in the yard, a little sit around and watch football. We'll get to all that,
but we thank you for joining us. Friends. Hope you had a I hope most of you at least got your labor day off. I mean that is the whole point, right, Labor Day. We sell at labor and we get the day off. But it's ironic that some people don't get the day off fun Labor day and after work. To those of you that did, we say thank you, a hearty salute to you, and I give I authorize you to take another day off sometime soon, sometime. This just underscores the point we've been making for years. You're all
essential workers. Remember that during COVID only essential worker. I've got something in here that says I was an essential worker. So if I was stopped by law enforcement during COVID. I had a little badge that said I could come in and work because I was broadcasting the news, keeping people informed. I can't believe we were there. It's crazy, all right. Our verse of the day Matthew four four. But he answered, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from
the mouth of God. Come get some of that. Get a little tasty piece of that. Chew on that. Huh that? But think about it. How many days you go without eating exactly none? How many days you go without reading God's word? Oops, my bad, that's what we're talking about. Ten past the hour. Take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac very quickly, because we're getting right to it. So good for you, you're with us. Good for us, We're with you, and together, ruminators, we are the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Inside the American Patriots almonax September fourth, one week from today, nine to eleven. Imagine what was going on. The planning was going on right now, final plans were going on week before that. Stuff just creeps me out thinking about that. Sixteen oh nine, Henry Hudson explores New York Harver before sailing up the Hudson River. Was it called the Hudson River in sixteen? No, it wasn't. He was named after Henry.
See how we do things. I gotta believe there's something someplace that that some roadway, some some path that could be named for me, and I would say, don't name it for me, Name it for Jesus, the Jesus Way, the Jesus place that Jesus called the Sack. Seventeen. I'm sorry seventeen. I'm not sorry about the eg one. Never mind. Spanish settlers found Los Angeles. I wonder if they if it was littered with drug addicts and homeless and crime and wonderful. O J was driving his Bronco back then,
seventeen eighty one. Eighteen eighty six, after years of fighting white settlement, the Apache leader Geronimo surrenders to US troops in Arizona, Georgia. Eastman. Two years later, eighteen eighty eight patents the Kodak camera, the first to use film roles. Nineteen fifty one, first coast telecast. Truman speaks at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco and then make
note of this. Friends. Nineteen fifty seven, Arkansas Governor Orville Faubas calls out the National Guard to keep nine black students from entering an all white high school in Little Rock. Governor Faubas was a member of the Democrat Party, just saying, just another illustration from history of who opposed integration and
supported segregation in this case with their National Guard. Democrats. Anyway, just real quickly here trio of storms being watched out there in the tropical climates of the Eastern Atlantic and the sub Caribbean region. We're just days away from what is the statistical peak. But I just wanted to point out an oddity. Remember we talked about how no one
knows why the ocean's cooler. The Atlantic Ocean cools in October, November, December, and then January, February, March, and then it just gradually starts to warm up again. But it's cooler sooner. Why I don't know, But isn't it interesting? Listen now, listen, see this is bonus content. This is for all of you ruminators that get up early. Huh. Because I'm not going to say anything about this later I might sell you something about this in a week, but I'm not
going to say it later. Between August thirteenth and septeb Number three, no named storm formations in the Atlantic for the first time since nineteen sixty eight. No way you mean, And look, we may be just there may be an onslaught of storms. Who knows the three they're looking at right now. Disturbance one looks like it if it forms in anything, it's about a forty percent chance it's going
to head towards Texas northern Mexico. Disturbance two eh ten to forty percent chance, not sure where or what it might do. Disturbance three looks like it might spin up north and be a non factor. But we I mean, we're entering into the busy part of the season, now, I get it. We could have a bunch of storms. No idea, But my point is the settled science not since nineteen sixty eight have we gone the span we just went through without named storms forming somewhere out there,
and we didn't. They didn't have any. Just saying I'm just just saying, Hey, I mean, is it seventeen minutes past the hour? I can say that it's a morning show with Preston Scott Show number fifty two, twenty seven of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Spoke with my wife last evening and she said, you excited to get back to work? Said, oh yeah, She said, did you miss it? I said no. When I get away for
a couple of extra days, I love it. I soak that up, just as I'm sure you do when you get time away from your vocation, whatever it might be. But I love what I do, so there's no dread at coming back. It's not. I mean yesterday when it was prep time, it was like, hey, it's prep time, Yeah, come on, let's go. But of course I was pulling material the entire time I was away. I mean, I I when I go to the two week plus break
at Christmas time, I really do unplug. I just I'm not saving articles unless there's what I call an evergreen story, which means it doesn't matter when I talk about it. But I don't talk about dated stuff. You know, by the time I get back, something could be three weeks old, you know, two and a half, two weeks old, and it's like, yeah, but if it's an evergreen story, you know, I'll say that, I'll the research team will send me something. They usually will know he's looking for evergreen stuff and
send me that at that time. But no, when I'm away, I'm always checking my email because I just can't afford to let it just pile up. I just I can't do that. It just takes up way too much time. It's far easier for me to look at it randomly, you know, every couple of hours, and just save safe, save, delete, delete, delete and go from there. This story is so cool in part because of our church, my pastor Marshall Oaks Redhills Church. Marshall is doing a teaching series on kings,
first kings and second kings. So what do they have? In Israel? Archaeologist team digging around Temple Mount has found an ancient seal that affirms the Biblical account, the Biblical place the historical importance of Jerusalem twenty seven hundred years ago. It likely dates back to the era of King Hezekiah or King as hey Has Bad Hezekiah Good. What you might not know is Israel was not Israel around Jerusalem
at that time. Israel was to the north. It was a divided kingdom Israel to the north, and Judah was in the South. And so long story short, and I mentioned this sometime in the last few weeks. Israel's like, we want a king, like did get a king? And God's like, you sure you want a king because I'm here for you, you know, I'm your God. No, we want a king like every other country. We want a king. And so God's like, all right, that's what you want, a king, you will have. And so they set about
going down that road. And David, though fully flawed, fully loved God. He was a man after God's heart. The Bible describes him that way. History records him as a man of tremendous courage and fortitude and strength, but of tremendous weakness as well, in sin. But that's the result of That's who we all are. We are all sinful creatures. But God still had his hand on David, and it was through David's line that we would down the road,
would have Jesus come through the family tree. But after David died, things started to get real sketchy, you know, because and look, before David, there was Saul, and Saul, you know, started out all awesome and then lost his brain because power does that to people. But what's cool about this finding is this this pendant, if you will, this seal shows how Assyria and its culture had just infected the Kingdom of Judah. And it all mirrors the I mean, just what's in this thing just mirrors the
biblical account. It just again confirms biblical history and shows that you know you can, you can do all you want to try to refashion things. It's still going to come right back around to what God said, just does, always does. Twenty seven past the hour, Big stories in the press box, don't miss them. Different set of stories this morning. He was Radio one hundred point seven UFLA. This is gonna be one of those shows. It's gonna be gone before you know it. Jade Johnson third hour,
Personal Defense. Interesting to get his thoughts on the release of the shooter in Nashville. There manifest Doe, Manifest Doe. I will not use the shooter's name, never will. Some other stories in the news give you some training tips, things to do when you go to the range to make the time helpful, not just punch holes in paper targets. Look, that's fine if that's what you want to do. Let's just see how acker you can get. And there's certain times that pulling out a firearm and just having fun
like that because it is fun. Come on, it is it is. But if you are carrying for the purposes of self defense, or if you have a firearm at home for the purposes of self defense, you really need to think through preparing for the what if scenarios. Anyway, we'll get to all that big stories in the press box. Florida Governor Rondosantas is in the minds of some trying to cover himself. He said he never approved the plan
rolled out to alter state parks. He said that never got by him, and he said, we're going back to the drawing board now. I will tell you that the person who leaked the plan to the media to a couple of groups got fired. Yeah, that'll happen. You take an internal government document and just let it get out there. Well, he said, he's fine if people don't want He said, we weren't ever creating parking lots and taking up green space.
He said that was not the plan. He said, but the plan that was rolled out, that's not what we were talking about doing. He said, I'd rather not spend any money on this. I don't want people if people don't want improvements, then don't do it. He said. If we do nothing, that's fine with me. He said, We're going to go back, listen to folks, and get out there. He said it was intentionally leaked for the purposes of
creating a narrative. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I don't know the heart of the person that did it, and I don't know that the governor. You know, I'm just going to take him at his word. But some are saying he's just covering up. He's just this didn't go well. He got pushback from both sides of the aisle, and he's just anyway. I want to share just second on real quickly. Two things here. Number one, sausage. Sausage sales in grocery stores are exploding. Analysts say that is
a bad sign for the economy. When sausage sales go up, it's because people cannot afford better cuts of meat or better meat products, so they go to the sausage. It's an interesting historical fact. And right now, sausage is six bucks cheaper than beefsteak, and so for consumers stretching their dollars, they go that route. It's just an interesting observation. Government study showing a link between childhood exposure to fluoride and lower IQ scores was blocked from the public for two years.
A lawsuit is pending, but it argues that Rachel Levine, you know the dude, Rachel, Hey, look at how I stand the dude Levin. That's how you pick out the guy that he an assistant secretary for HHS blocked the report from being released. And it showed a problem. It showed a study, and people have long had concerns over floride. And then there's one more story I want to get to on the other side. Here forty minutes past the hour. It's about Trump and abortion in Florida. Use radio one
D and point seven UFLA. All right, this is an article from a place called The Nineteenth. My research assistance are incredible, and the lead research assistant demonstrated once again why lead is there. After conservative criticism, Trump says he is a no on Florida's abortion rights ballot measure. The move comes after anti abortion leaders criticized Trump for calling the band too short. Now that's true, and I don't know what they're talking about calling the band too short.
The reporter I've already written this morning. I've already founder email and wrote her Chefali Luthra, listen to the title reproductive health reporter with all due respect. If you're a reproductive health reporter, odds are you you are an abortionist? You believe in abortion. Trump told Fox that he is going to vote against the ballot measure, but she writes this. Trump made additional comments centering on an untrue point about abortions,
arguing that some states allow for abortions after birth. There is no such thing as abortion after birth. I disagree, and no state law allows for it. Here's where we get in trouble. The Florida measure would allow for restrictions after fetal viability, which occurs typically between twenty three and twenty five weeks. The Florida measure would amend the state's constitution to protect abortion rights until viability, same standard as Row versus Wade, and would, as a result, overturn the
state's active six week ban. There's so much wrong with all of this, and this gets to something that I will continue to argue with you, and I can only hope that enough of you talk about this issue. There are so many problems, number one the beginning of the ballot measure, no law shall restrict. What does that mean? Just what it says, no law shall restrict. And here's the other problem. She says typically between twenty three and twenty five weeks of pregnancy. The problem is that's not defined.
Problematic for me is that viability doesn't come until a child can communicate and walk, typically three, four or five years of age. Can they accurately communicate I need food, I need help, and can walk and go get help and communicate a need. And I pointed out Jalen Candelario who died in her crib at eighteen months old because her mom went on a vacation for a week. She left her child, gave her a bottle, left her, and she died. I'm just saying viability is just a bogus argument,
I wrote, shefali because her article is factually wrong. So the ballot measure does not put any limit, it just viability. Well, I just demonstrated viability doesn't happen till well after her child is born. Patients health, that's ambiguous. And oh, by the way, parents, it ends your right of permission and only gives you right of notification. It changes that as well, so you'll be notified your child's going to have an abortion.
You can't give a child an aspirin at a clinic, at a school without your signature, and they want to make it so that your daughter can get an abortion without your permission, without your consent. So understand what's at stake here. So I'm saying, understand it. Know what you're doing. If you believe six weeks is wrong, fight for that to change, but don't go unrestrained. No law shall restrict. The argument that needs to be made is that this is too extreme. No matter what you think about choice,
this is too extreme. Can't allow this. Forty six minutes after the hour, back with more all kinds of stories here on the Morning Show.
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Fifty two past the hour, Good morning friends. Jose over there running the radio program you can talk about is Meatball Subs next hour. I haven't figured out whether it's going to be a monthly feature or just an every now and then feature, but there's going to be a feature. Jose's in the kitchen and we're going to talk about is culinary expertise. My boys swear by his his prowess in the kitchen over the weekend. They said, Yeah, he puts his heart into it. There's no doubt about that.
And I'm like, what else does he put in it? Because I'm tasting something kind of different. No, I'm just kidding. We're going to talk about his meatball sub next hour. Cannot wait to have that discussion. A couple other stories. I told you I wanted to get to here first. You don't know the name Butch Wilmore. Butch Wilmore and I'm Sonny or Sunny Williams, the two astronauts. Yeah, honey, be back in a week and it'll be uh eight months in space. They didn't sign up for that. They
went on the Boeing Starliner. Sounds cool, doesn't it? The Starliner, And it's too dangerous to bring him back on the Boeing star Liner, So there's they're staying behind and Boeing is is using auto pilot to bring it back. Supposed to land on its own in the middle of the New Mexican desert some launch pad or somewhere, but apparently the astronaut heard a noise coming in from from within
the capsule. He described it as strange and voices and recorded it or played it, put his phone his communications as com set whatever that he's communicating back to Houston and mission control, and they heard the noise. It is a pulsating sound emanating at steady intervals. So it's a cycle of some kind coming from the star Liner and they don't know what it is, so add it to the list. They won't be able to figure out what broke that prevents them from using the astrois. I mean,
I'm grateful the astronauts can't come back on it. It's safer this way because they didn't know if it could safely return, it might blow up. No idea. Personally, I would have jettisoned that thing long before now if it was having helium leaks and different things going on. I mean, it's attached to an international space station full of people that said, now it's making a strange noise. You can't make this stuff up. I described that as a bad
decade plus for Boeing. It's getting worse. The part they need to figure out what's gone wrong is going to burn up and re entry it's going to get jettison and burn up. So I don't know hey, whatever, And then there's this. I think I've got time for this. A Colorado man with a group of fifteen co workers set off to summit Mount Schavano. Apparently was kind of a team building thing. Maybe they left him. He went
up to the summit, he got disoriented. The crew left him, and they took the markers marking the trail back when they went down. He's safe. They found him. He had to spend some rough time on the mountain. But I tell you what I'm thinking. This is what I wrote down in my rundown. Brother, it is time to find a new job. Those people are out to kill you. Don't mickey mouse around with us. Now find yourself a new gig. Coworkers left him up on the mountain and
took the markers from the trail with them. How cold is that? Back with our two welcome ladies and gentlemen, men and women, boys and girls, ruminators Near and far, Hour two of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am Preston. Is Jose sporting a Make America Great Again? Hat? Let me see the bill? Let me see tip your head down. The twenty twenty four edition, with the signature of the Donald on it. Okay, okay, it is a
structured hat. I look like I have the most massive melon in the world when I wear a structured hat. It's not a good look for me. I have a couple structured hats. It's just not a good look for me. But there you go, black with red black is the body of the hat US flag on the left side? Turn your head and yeah, is that a style of the cap there can't really tell through the class it's reflecting on me? Yeah, Donald Trump emblazoned on the back?
Is that embroidered? Is that embroidered on the backs or all of that? More from Jose later on in the half hour. More than that riveting comment right there, coming up just a little bit. Over the weekend, just devastatingly sad news. Israeli defense forces were close to rescuing six hostages, one an American, when Hamas murdered him, brutally killed them all. The Israeli American Hirsch Goldberg Pollen had been held for eleven months. He had lost part of his arm, left arm,
I believe when he was captured. Originally he survived a grenade attack at a music concert. See, that's this is what I need need some of you to get through your melon. This was never a military operation for Hamas. They kidnapped, they raped, they murdered people at concerts, people in their homes, people in kibbutz's settlements that house multiple families. They didn't go after military targets. So spare me the sympathies for the Palestinian cause. I don't want to hear it,
Zip zero nada. Israel has every right in America, by God, ought to be in the fight at this point, doing everything possible to help them achieve the vanquishing of the leadership of Hamas and anyone that carried out these attacks. This was not a military attack. This was a terrorist attack. And there's a difference, and I can't help you if
you can't fathom or understand or grasp the difference. But these monsters then released a video on telegram and the video was captioned, we will show their last messages, and it's black and white footage of all six of their victims giving their final words before they were murdered. What kind of sick PUDs do that? Monsters do that, evil people do things like that, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, said, he who murders abduct does not want
a deal. I've told you I think most of them are dead, and now we've got six more that we know are This is why there's no deal. There's no deal because they don't want a deal. I'm going to outline and at some point in the next few weeks, I'm going to share what my foreign policy would be as it relates to the Middle East. I'm gonna give you mine because I think my policy is what ought
to inform you as policy. But that's just me. It's why I'm not ever running for political office, because what I think ought to be done isn't ever going to be popular. Ever. It's going to be right, but it's not going to be popular because being right isn't popular. Ten past the hour, sad still to come this hour of the program. You know that I am a geek for the program alone. Had one of the previous season
win last season's winner, last season's winner. Yeah, I said that were I think it's Alan Tanuda had him on the program. He was gonna send me a hat. He didn't send me a hat. Pretty bummed about that. I was looking forward to having an autographed hat for a guy who survived alone. Anyway, the season concluded, and I just ruined it all for my wife. I can't believe what I did. I'll share that you've watched the entire season, it's like twelve weeks, and then you get to the
end and you ruin it. Oh jeez, what an idiot I am. We will talk about Jose's meatball sub and his culinary expertise. Allegedly, we will allow to be exposed over time here the radio program. This was funny Tim Walls's older brother. You've seen anything about him, Jeff Walls quote, I am one hundred opposed to all his ideology talking about his little bro. In fact, he put it this way, his brother is quote not the type of character who
should make decisions about America's future. They haven't spoken in a few years, apparently likely a bit of a fallen out when Jeff. They haven't when Jeff recognized that his little brother was a pathological liar and was making stuff up about everything he said. My family wasn't given any notice he was selected. I mean, it's it's just it's stunning the dysfunction that surrounds Tim Walls. His brother apparently
lives in the Florida Panhandle near Freeport. So my friends living in the Panhandle, all of you listening to the radio program in and around, say oh, I don't know Panama City, Beach, Panama City, anywhere to destin. If you know Jeff Walls, send the man my way. We will have a famous visit. I can't say I'm a native Minnesotan. Where Tim is governing, I e ruining the state of Minnesota, but my formative years were spent in Minnesota. Minnesota still holds a very important place in my heart. I have
family living in Minnesota. Representative Nicole Malatakis, Republican of New York. Tim Wallas's own brother knows his socialist ideology is dangerous for America. Together with Kamala Harris, inflation will get higher, illegal immigration crisis will get worse. Our nation will look more like Venezuela as someone who puts tampons in boys' bathrooms, lets their cities burn during defund the police, riots, taxis citizens sidled with debt to give you illegal immigrants free tuition.
Should not be an elected office, let alone Vice president. Well done man, his own brother raining on him, rinsing him out, That's who he is ignore me. Listen to his own brother, he's not fit for office. Sixteen past the holum, we get back Animal Stories. We're gonna have yes next next hour J D. Johnson some stories in the news, get his reaction thoughts on as well as maybe offer a lesson or two from those stories. Plus
we'll give you some range tips. So stick around. That's coming up next hour on the program.
In the Wild or in our Homes, we love them Critters large and small. Time for another edition of Animal Stories on the Morning Show with Dreston Scott.
All Right, this is a little different because it does have a tinge of sadness to it, but I'm gonna pick you up at the end. This is the story of a beluga whale. Now, for those of you longtime listeners, you know that my wife and I went behind the scenes at SeaWorld and interacted with the beluga whales there and that was incredible. It was incredible. I mean, it was just so cool to be that close to these just amazing mammals of the sea. Well, this is Valdimir.
Now there's an h in front of it, and allegedly the age of the word, the name Valdimir is is a Norwegian word for whale. I don't know if it's pronounced have Voldimir or just a silent h. Maybe if you're Norwegian and you understand the language, you can tell me. But the Vladimir with the H in the front is a combination of the word for whale in Norwegian and
the first name of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now why you might ask, well, this particular beluga whale was first seen wearing a harness which appeared to be a small mount for a camera, when he was found in twenty nineteen near the island of Angoya in Norway's north, about one hundred and ninety miles from the Russian maritime border. The harness was stamped with equipment Saint Petersburg in English. In essence, they believe that that this beluga whale had
been acting as a spy for Russia for years. Sadly, his body turned up and he was dead. Moscow never responded to any request for information, explanation, or anything about Vladimir. They don't know how he died. He was in good condition apparently as of just like days before he was found dead, and so they're not sure what the cause of death would be I'm only gonna say, perhaps he became a dissident, and you know what happens to those who go in a pop opposition of Vladimir Putin, Then
the the punished. I'm just saying this is crazy, right. Here's our second animal story. Neighbors came across a golden retriever in Ross Township, Pennsylvania, Golden retriever leashed, but no one on the other end of the leash. The dog was pacing back and forth, appearing frantic along a steep and forested roadside hill, and all of a sudden they looked down the slope and there was the owner of the dog. He had fallen or got knocked off, but was badly injured and could not come up the hill.
The dog wouldn't leave him and came up to the top of the hill and paced back and forth until neighbors noticed and then realized the dog was acting a little even more oddly, and it led to the man being rescued. See, you see this stuff, and you hear these stories all the time. And I know cat's doing some cool things, but dogs are next level. They just are.
I saw a feature recently about dogs that are communicating with a talking with a pad that has up to thirty or forty different words, and they learn to hit the spot on the pad that produces the word that they want to communicate. And sometimes the dog communicates that it wants to be petted or scratched, or it wants to say it loves its owner. I mean, it's crazy to see this stuff. Dogs are cool. In this case, this guy's saved his owner's life by being loyal, faithful friend.
Twenty seven Past the Hour Animal Stories an exclusive presentation at least now that I don't think Larry Lujack is still around doing them on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show with Preston Scott thirty five past the Hour, Good Morning Friends. Halfway through the Wednesday, September fourth edition of The Morning Show Show, number fifty two, twenty seven, Jose can you see we'll describe his meatball sub in just a few moments he prepared one for me. We'll
talk about that. But speaking of meatball sausage, a big stories in the press box, Soaring sausage sales. Say that soaring sausage sales, Soaring sausage sales, Soaring sausage sales not that bad could indicate a problem for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Democrats when consumers buy sausage at the stores. And that's what's happening. Sausage sales are blowing up, and it's because sausage is cheap by comparison to other meats, and so people are resorting to using sausage, and they're making
dinners around sausage. Now, I understand where sausage comes from. It's why they talk about politics and the art of making sausage. It's kind of I get it. I get it, But I will also tell you that I love good sausage. I think good sausage, and sausage is part to me of a good meatball, good ground beef, good sausage, a good mixture of those meats. More on that moment. But the fact that sausage sales are blowing up is just another reminder that the economy is not getting better. It's
just getting less worse. It's getting worse. It's not as bad, it's not as fast. It's still there's still inflation, it's just not inflating as fast as it was. So you've got prices that are already up thirty percent, give or take depending on what sector of the marketplace we're talking about. And then you say, well, inflation's down, yeah, but it's still inflating what is already an exploded price, So it's
not it's not stopping. And the fact that people are resorting to buying sausage at the store, it's one of those market level indicators of where people are spending the money they have. Now. Joe Biden famously has said people have money. I'm gonna get to that story. Not today, but at some point this week. People are buying stuff they've got money. Government study linked fluoride high fluoride exposure to lower IQ and kids, and it was kept hidden.
Lawsuit has been filed against the federal government the EPA, arguing that Rachel Levine Yes him, Assistant Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, blocked the report from public release after pressure from the CDC and the dental lobby. High fluoride exposure, which is found in some drinking waters in some communities, the stuff that comes out of your
faucet in many places around the country heavily fluoridated. It is now in a study linked to lower IQs but tell me that doesn't fuel the long standing idea that for decades the federal government has been on a mission to dumb down the electorate. I'll put it more plainly, to make people stupid, just saying. Florida Governor Rond Desantas said that the state park proposal was not approved by him and that the state is going back to the drawing board. And Donald Trump said he is a no
vote on the abortion amendment. He's going to vote no. He took some heat for some statements he's made. He doesn't agree with the six week ban. And I know a lot of you don't agree with the six week ban. You think it ought to be fifteen weeks or what ever. Whatever you think, just know this, the law that will be put in the constitution says that no law will restrict abortion and that parents will no longer have to
authorize They'll just be notified. This law, this amendment is extreme and so no matter what you think, this isn't the answer. If you feel the need fix it through the legislature. This is wrong and I promise you Florida will suffer if we pass this. There's a spiritual law at stake here. We will suffer. Forty minutes past the hour, change gears.
We're going to talk about food next Audio Magazine. A journey into whatever is left of journalism and always pointing out and correcting.
What is not show with Preston Scott on two three four. Alrighty Thursday. End of the show. Jose asked me do you like meat ball subs? And I was like, well, of course I do. But well, I'm going to bring you on on Sunday. I said, okay, Well, just keep in mind now I do the after church thing with the family, so it's got to be something that you can pack up and I can refrigerate or whatever so I can heat it up later. Gave me the big thumbs up, and he showed up Sunday. We attended the
same church. No, that was not a requirement to work here for me. No, no, no, no, no, it was strongly encouraged. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. So let's let's let's go into let's dissect the meatball sub recipe that you go with here. Let's first talk about the most important part, the sauce.
Well, the sauce is pretty basic Italian marinera sauce Italian tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and taste.
How long How long do you do you let that kind of simmer and cook.
I would prefer about three hours, but if it's.
A you know, a rush meal, then I'll go with like an hour. But let's do ideal circumstances for everything here. Now, Ideally you want a nice slow simmer and let that just get it yourself down and thicken a little bit. Right, Oh yeah, okay, because the marinara is very good. That was a very good marinera. And I'm a I'm a bit of a sauce snob now I personally like a little bit more of a sweeter tomato flavor to it. But it was a very good marinaire, which was okay.
Now let's talk about the meatball itself and friends. He sent four spectacularly sized meatballs. Four meatballs took up a nine inch ten inch SUBWWL easily easily tell me about the meatball. Well, I guess particular meatball.
The meatball again, basic Italian meatballs, you know, like you said, a good ground beef, good sausage, garlic, parsley, chopped parsley, parmesan, cheese, and breadcrumbs, and I changed it a little bit.
I put some chopped.
Bacon in there, Yes, he did, Yeah, I put some bacon in it. I used to work at a subshop years ago, and I would always when people come in and get a meatball, sup, I would say, hey, try that with bacon, and they nobody really liked it at first, but it started catching on.
They would come in and be get that meatball of bacon.
So I figured, if it's good, you know, separately, it should be good inside of the meat okay, integrated into the meatball itself, right right, and then you know, because you know, I baked the meatballs and then and then simmer them in the sauce, so some of that meatball of that bacon flavor got out into the sauce. How long do you bake your meatballs? I probably cook them halfway, like a three fifty four hundred for like twenty fifteen minutes.
Uh it's twenty to fifteen minutes. Yeah yeah, yeah, just because you just want to like give them versus fifteen to twenty minutes. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, right right right right, yeah, I cook it and now to thirty minutes. Yeah wait what an hour and an hour and thirty. No, never mind. Yeah, And and he he sent along the sub roll. He sent along. I'm assuming you did not bake the sub rolls, no, sir, No?
Is that coming some point? Are you gonna start baking your own breads and rolls and things I have before? I'm not. I'm not too much of a baker, okay, because that's that's that's a tough art. It is. It is and time consuming, Yes, it is, yeah, yep. And so he sent the mozzarella cheese. And now what I did is I line the bottom with mozzarella, so the sauce didn't make the bread, yeah, because I didn't take
the time to toast the roll. But I lined the bottom with the with mozzarella, ladled the meatballs in there, good and hot, and then covered it in the mozzarella and added some more parmesan. Oh yeah, and consumed it. And when I get back, I will share with everybody my review of Jose's sub What am I gonna say? You'll just have to wait and find out. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, and we begin the
third hour. I can't believe the third hour. I just said that it's September now here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott took a little time away. Great to come back, Jose over there in Studio one A. I am here in Studio one B, and I am joined by once again three in a row. Wow. How you doing? J D. Johnson with me, co founder of the Talent Trading Group. I'm good, Harry. You know this. You know the old word, the saying better than I deserve.
Yeah, that's true. Beautiful day, Yeah, yeah it is. It's it's it's my time of year coming.
Man, We're getting there. Boy. I felt it a couple of weeks ago, a little coolness in the morning, and uh yeah, I can't wait for the weather to change. But I know it's also going to be another probably a month and a half or two months. But I'll take a little taste.
A little taste here and there.
It's not bad now, it's the weather change. Bring about. What What are the seasons you are most looking forward to?
Dove or deer or yes, yes, anything and everything.
Have you ever gone hunting for bear?
No, no desire, No.
Because it's not a food source, there's no point.
Yeah. I've talked to a lot of people that hunt bear and eat bear, and about half of them say it's a horrible, nasty, greasy whatever they've ever had, and then oh, it's good, And I just I don't know, I've been mad enough at bears for destroying and like local locally here trying to hunt in an environment where there are bears living. They destroy anything they can get to, tree stands, seats off of.
Four wheelers where they can smell something, right.
Yeah, or the salt or well, I don't know they I had one just completely destroy a climbing tree stand that I left hung on the tree.
And you're talking about a black bear.
Yes, And theaters, corn feeders or you know, deer feeders, they will destroy. They're just very destructive. And I don't know if it's them just playing or they're mad or what.
But now later at the end of the show today, I'm going to describe how I ruined the ultimate final episode of A loan for my wife that we record and watch, and we've watched the whole season. Do you ever watch alone?
Yeah?
I love it. I think it's the best show on television. Have you ever thought to yourself, if you're in grizzly bear territory? Like they put these people. Sometimes, if you had an encounter with a grizzly bear and you shot the flare, and you did the spray, and you did everything you could, what would you do if it didn't work. I don't know, but clean up all five.
I honestly, I don't want to be in grizzly bear territory without a pretty good sized firearm.
You just just say it. I just I look at these guys and they've got bows and arrows, and there are in some of these situations like this last episode, they were allowed to hunt bears if they had a bear. But I'm thinking to myself, how are you going to kill a bear with a bow and arrow?
Oh yeah, you can do that, but they get.
Mad if you miss, if you hit the wrong spot yeah, or hit the wrong spot yeah. But you can kill with a bear with a bow and arrow. Absolutely. Absolutely. My nephew goes to Montana Tech. He's going to mining school, and he's gonna.
Be able to teach him about that stuff. Well.
He's also a big fly fisherman. He trout fishes in the streams up there, So he carries a he carries a glock and glock model twenty ten millimeter. Uh, they just had at Montana Tech. They were having they put out a warning to all the students one of these, Like you get the active shooter notifications in college campuses and stuff for bears on campus.
Well, a ten millimeters stop a bear.
Oh yeah, that is probably one of the most popular.
Versus a three fifty seven or forty four.
It's more powerful than a three fifty seven, little less power. Yeah, with the right with the right load in there, it's very much capable of that.
Yeah, I'm with you, speaking of loads if I ever saw.
Yeah, clean up Ale five like and at six in Aisle six as well.
All Right, we're gonna come back. We're gonna get the more serious things in the news. And it's our personal defense segment. Jad Johnson he's co host of Talent Outdoors, which you can hear on this fine radio station on the weekends on Saturday and you can subscribe on the iHeartRadio. Thank you very much, and of course the co founder of the Talent training group More to Come. He is JD. Johnson and one of the two experts we rely on
to talk personal defense here on the program. And JD and I were talking before the Hour about the shooter in Nashville who will always be nameless in my world, she identifying as a he wrote this massive, ninety page manifesto, and quite candidly, I'm fine with investigators looking inside of that.
I don't care myself at all. Doesn't matter to me, So I'm not going to really reference any part of that manifesto other than it speaks to the mental illness that I believe people in that situation find them in. But let's back up and go big picture. What are your thoughts on where we are overall in the state of Florida with school.
Security much better than we were. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas. We've come a long way because of a lot of the findings of the U of the group that studied that, the commission, the commission made up of parents.
Yeah, and what's said is there are some that were part of that that have tried to go on an anti gun crusade. But the findings of.
The commission, yeah, was not the findings of the case exactly.
They've tried to parlay that, but even even the state legislature doesn't have it right yet.
They're not taking correction necessary, you know, with so what are we doing better and what needs to improve? Well, what we're doing better is we have we have more armed people, more armed and trained people in the schools. In different schools, districts, different counties are doing different things.
Are they doing different levels of protection.
I wouldn't say different levels of protection.
They're going about getting guardians in the school in a different way depending on where you are.
In Leon County, you.
Have hired security people, hired police officers, hired school guardians in the schools here.
Do we have enough?
Probably not, because that limits that is expensive. That is a very expensive thing when you're paying somebody, you know, X amount of dollars per hour to be there. They have training and equipment, all that stuff. So that's an
expensive way of doing it. Some of the surrounding counties, and I'm not going to name them, but I'm very familiar with them, some of them are doing what the Guardian program to me was really about when that was taking non instructional personnel at the school, training them and allow them to carry a firearm in the school. And it may be it could be administrator, it could be a janitor, it could be a maintenance guy. It doesn't
doesn't really matter. It's just their school employee willing to go through the training and carry.
There are some school districts I believe in North Carolina that have gone to putting inside a lock box throughout their schools ar fifteens.
It ain't just in North Carolina, okay.
But where they have. And then there are our staff members, including instructional that have gone through training that access that firearm if needed. Correct you like that plant breaking in case of fire Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I do.
I do, because you have no way of predicting if someone's willing to do this very heinous act of going into a school and shooting our children. There's no way of predicting what they're going to choose as a weapon.
Would you make the argument in favor of because I know at Talent Training you have, in fact trained many teachers that are in various school districts in the surrounding area. They come, they're members, they're part of and they take training seriously. Would you be in favor of instructional personnel being allowed to carry.
Yes, absolutely, I would.
I personally know some of the teachers at my kid's school, and I would be very very happy to know that that person had a means of defending my child, because if they don't have a means of defending my child, they're just another victim.
And there's only so much you can do. Throwing a book at somebody or blocking a door with a chair maybe correct.
That's not truly fighting back.
That's doing the best you can of what you have to work with, but it's not truly an effective defense.
More to come with Jad Johnson of the Talent Training Group. You can find out more online talentrange dot com. Twenty one minutes past the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I want to use this story, Jad Johnson with me. Spent a bulk of his career in law enforcement and can lee. We rely on that. You know, it plays a significant role in informing our ideas on some of the things. But here's the headline. Dallas Police Department officer Darren Burks executed in targeted attack. And this
happened just over the last few days. He was literally targeted. He was sitting in his car, someone came up, started a conversation, drew back a step, pulled a handgun, and before he could do anything, his life was over. I want you to just kind of explain to our listeners.
And I want to target JD people that don't seem to have much patience with being pulled over, with being stopped or asked a question, the role and and what is going through a law enforcement officer's mind as they come up to just the most simple basic call.
Well, I here's what I have always told.
I spent a lot of my career as a training officer, teaching, teaching, training new.
Officers, and.
Sad to say, but the one of the things that you try to get across to new trainees or new recruits is that you don't ever know every You have to go into every encounter with every citizen, like with with the mindset that this person might try to kill me.
Because that's just the fact.
That's the reality of being in law enforcement, which is it takes a toll over the years. It takes a toll on law enforcement officers if they're doing it the right way, and it's it's it's difficult for especially for people, especially for people like me. I tend to like everybody. I kind of a gregarious person and I enjoy people and that and stuff, right, but to have to have that in your mind that this next person that I
go deal with might try to hurt me. It is difficult for a lot of people to wrap their head around, and they get lacksadaisical. You know, somebody, if I was parked somewhere writ and report and somebody started walking up to my vehicle, I'm not gonna sit there in the car.
I'm going to get out immediately.
You know, I don't want to be at that disadvantage because sitting in the driver's seat of a car, it's difficult to draw a firearm sitting in the car, you know, unless you really practice it a lot, and even then it's still.
It's it's awkward. Everything's awkward. You're limited in.
Space, correct, You got seat belts strapped on the you know, if you don't take your seat belt off, it's covering the gun on one side. Or if you're left handed like me, you're up against this, up against the door, and it's whatever. So somebody starts walking up the car, you get out, so at least you're on even ground. But now it's just one of those things that you can't let your guard down. From the time you leave
home till the time you get back home. You cannot leave you, you know, let your guard down at all.
I don't know if you've ever heard me go on the monologue, but because of my brother's background, and you know, I just I try to get people to understand that until you've been in a job where walking by your cubbies at work every single day, there's a chance that somebody there is going to pull a gun and shoot you in the face or in the back or wherever, you can't understand what it's like to just do the routine, simple job of asking for someone's driver's license. You just
don't You don't get it. And so just I guess my point that I want to make here is this young man is and he wasn't that young. He's forty six years old, lost his life. And I think you just pointed out was probably made mistakes in allowing himself to get walked up on, and this casual conversation turned into a targeted shooting. But I want people to understand, don't get mad when people are doing their job. Yeah, exactly.
And there's and and don't get me wrong, there are police officers. The vast majority law enforcement officers are excellent people. Absolutely, they do their job well, there are bad apples in that profession, just like there are in every other any other profession.
You can be lossing people around or having the authority right.
That's a really really really really small percentage of ulcers nationally, and most of the folks that are out there doing that job right now, the men and women are out there right now are trying to make a difference and make our world better.
Rule of thumb. If you are approaching a law enforcement officer or they are approaching you in your car, have your hands up empty invisible.
Absolutely, keep your hands where they can be seen either on the you know, ten and two on the steerwheel if you're sitting in the car. If you need to make any kind of movement to retrieve you know, documents or any of that wallet, any that kind of stuff, let the offer that I'm will take my right hand and I'm reaching from you know, I'm going to my my my wallet is in my right rear pocket.
I'm going to reach down there and get it.
When he asked to see it, I was.
At the FSU game the other day, walking in towards the stadium, and I wanted to ask. The officers were gathered and they were talking amongst themselves, they didn't see me. Wanted to ask them about, you know, how traffic was going to flow leaving the stadium, which direction, just from my own knowledge, and I got their attention at a distance. I made sure my hands were just not I'm not being stupid, just that they could see him very openly.
I'd like to think that that's what you need to think about.
That's being courteous to them for sure.
Letting them know I'm not going to walk up and surprise him or anything like that. So folks just be a little considerate and understand, like this young man here they it's a ridiculously dangerous profession, and make it a little easier on them. Maybe maybe thirty minutes past the hour will come with some news and so forth. We'll take a break now more with J. D. Johnson. Next in the morning show with Preston's Guy, and we're back.
Had to do my homage to Charlie there. JD. Johnson with me of the Talent Training Group, our personal defense, saying we picked stories out. Sometimes we just get to talking about different things, like we did Bears in the first and look, I'm a Packer fan, so talking about bears in a demeaning way just comes naturally to me. Sorry, we we just we we look at stories in the news, and in this case, there's so many different rabbit trails
we can go down. Another shooting in California, high profile person Ricky Pearsall, a wide receiver played at the University of Florida. A lot of listeners in the program Gator fans. They'll know the guy, great wide receiver, first round pick of San Francisco in the recent draft, and he got shot. He's lucky to be alive in a robbery attempt. They get into a scuffle. It's the afternoon Union Square, very highly populated area, though not as much as it used to be. He decided to fight.
Though, Yeah, and I don't I don't know that I own any any material object that's worth hurting somebody or getting hurt over. You know, it's different defending, you know, if it probably you know, the articles said, look like he might have been wearing a roll legs. That'll get you robbed in a lot of places. You know, you're wearing wearing expensive you know, if you don't know, if you looked at the cost of rolexies lately, but Oh my gosh, in a ten thousand dollars watch is not on the cassio.
Yeah, put on the.
Put on exactly, G shock, put on the g shot Kid or the Samsung watch or whatever. You know, when you're out in public, maybe I don't, I don't know.
But when you're confronted by somebody with a gun.
And you don't have a gun or any other means of fighting back other than and getting you don't want to bring a fist fight to a gun fight, you know kind of thing.
Give them the watch man, get insurance on it.
Give them the watch. Avoid the conflict if possible. You know, the time to fight is when you have no other alternative. It's the bottom line. And it's not that I'm vehemently opposed to violence. I'm pretty good at violence, not opposed to it. But there's a time and place for it, and you know that the money in your wallet might not be worth it.
JD. Is it too simplistic to say you resort to that when the odds are in.
Your favor absolutely, or.
Your life is in jeopardy, or the life of a loved one.
Yes to both that that's it, I mean yes to both.
You you if you don't ever want to get into if somebody's already got their gun in their hand and you do not. Uh, that is a very difficult situation that you're in compliance and compliance even if you're carrying. Even if you're carrying, they've got the drop on you, got the drop on you, just like you see in the old cowboy days. That's that's you know, Mexican stands off standoffs as they call them in the movies. Uh, is not a good situation. It's even worse if you don't have your gun out.
I mean, you have to.
You know, discretion is a better part of valor at that point. So you know, there's there are.
Some distraction techniques that we teach and they may or may not work. You know, you may get lucky, and there may be the environment may give you a distraction that that allows you to to even the odds or to to turn the situation around. But there's times when you just need to comply, you know, as opposed to getting hurt.
Live he's lucky for another day. Yeah, he's very lucky getting shot.
In the Torso getting shot in the chest and surviving, he's lucky.
It went through the side a little further away from his heart. Yeah, it just went through a lot.
That's just good Lord looking out for him. That's all that bowled down to.
All Right, we're gonna come back and we're going to take that story maybe and parlay that into how you can improve your training at the gun range. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He co hosts Talent Out Doris with Charlie Strickland and is the co founder of the talent training group jad Johnson. Our final segment here, let's take that story and parlay that into maybe some training advice. I mean, I think we all sort of systematically trained at the seven yards and take our time
and look at the paper target. But most of the time, when these things happen, that's not the way it's gonna unfold.
Correct the vast majority it's gonna occur within armstreach, within the personal distance.
How do you safely train for that kind of thing? And what would you advise people to work on?
Well, the biggest thing most people need to work on because we in Florida have to carry concealed. There's no open carry, and I'm really not an advocate for open care even if we had it, even if we had from a tactical perspective, because why from a tactical perspective, because it's too easy for somebody to take your gun away from you when you're not paying attention. There's somebody
that carried a gun openly for twenty seven years. It was constantly on my mind about my body position, and even though my gun was in a security holster, it was a constant thing.
I mean, you could be a magnet for a bad guy. I was just looking for a gun.
Absolutely, especially in the Citians.
Yeah, depending on a you know, and I go to places where open carry is prevalent, and some of the way I see people carrying guns, it's just ridiculous. You know, no security holster, no no snap, no lock device on the holster or anything.
So back to back to what I was saying.
If you're carrying concealed you need to practice drawing and firing from concealment however it is you carry. That's the big thing. Is getting your clothing or your garment or whatever device, a bag however you're using. You need to be practicing that way. See people all the time, they have a carry, they have a carry system that they're
using they're comfortable with. They show up to the rain to rage and they're to train, and they're wearing outside the waistpan magazines exposed in a mag pouch, more like a duty duty belt that a police officer would wear. Well, the shooting part of the training is great. The getting to the shooting part of the training is not so great because they're changing the system that they that they're used to carrying. So that's the first thing, and a
lot of that can be accomplished. Empty gun, dry fire practice at the house, drive fire training at the house. The second one is you can some kind of a distraction technique. You have something in your hand. You know, somebody asks for your wallet, don't necessarily always hand it to them, Act like you're scared. Try to maybe drop the wallet, make them you know, they may make you. If they're smart. The bad guys are smart, they may
make you. They may step back. If they're well trained, they may step back and make you pick it up and hand it to them again. If they're trying to rob you of your wallet. So but if they're not, drop it, make them bend over, look away, pick it up. That may give you an opportunity to escape. Or fight back effectively. Would you advise escaping if you can, I'm willing to, you know, throw the wallet on the and take off.
There's some couch commandos listening right now, and they would say, okay, good idea. We'll throw them the car keys, We'll throw them a wallet, and when they turn to get them, because they're not sophisticated, I'm going to draw a fire. Okay, if they've got a gun, you're legally entitled to do that. That's the way you want to go.
Absolutely, you are, Uh, you're still right then?
In a fifty to fifty gun fight, sure, and that's that's a hotch percentage chance of losing.
That's not odds in your favor yet, correct? Correct? Correct?
You know, I mean if, like I said, getting away, getting away unscathed, this should be the number one goal, not not necessarily winning the scenario.
Let me ask you this, at the range, what's the safest way to practice where you're not fully presenting your firearm, but you're shooting right out of the draw, not necessarily aiming, but close quarters.
Right, Well, that's that's what we call the close quarter retention position, where your elbow is basically your arm is in an L shape of an L with your with your gun oriented towards the target not presented out in front of you, the close quarter tension position. The gun's kind of Your gun and your arm are tucked ten towards your body, and you're oriented. You can you know, we tend to aim with the whole center line of
our body. So if you bring that gun over to the center line of your body and square up on the target, chances are you're going to hit that target.
At three feet right.
Absolutely, if you've never practiced that way, it takes a little bit of practice to lock your elbow.
Lot's a safe range distance at a paper target contact, okay, So you can be as close as you need at the gun range to a pay per target absolutely, okay.
There's a little to no chance of anything going wrong, so that maybe you'll feel the concussion. Sure, we train at arm's length the way when we're teaching that close quarter stuff, you can reach.
Out with your arm and touch the target. Good stuff. Thanks as owys, Yes, sir, thank you. Always good to see you, Yes, sir. JD. Johnson with us Personal Defense. You'll be better if you put this stuff into action and do some training at the talent range. Let's just pick this up as if I'm telling a story. So my wife and I watch Alone, the Alone series on the History Channel on DVR. It's kind of a Friday
night thing. We go have a meal somewhere, a little dinner date, and oftentimes just come back home and we late in the afternoon, beat the dinner crowd and maybe run to the grocery store, take care of a few errands, and swing on by wherever we need to go. And then we end up home and we'll watch a couple of shows we've dvr'd, and one of them is Alone.
But we also record Alone Australia, which is a show that follows And so I saw this Alone Australia and I was like, well, I thought that show was over. What's this, Oh, it's a reunion show. I hit play and I did not realize it just didn't connect. I realized it. I knew it that Alone Australia follows Alone, and the reunion show followed the final episode of Alone where you find out who won, survived and got five
hundred thousand dollars. And so we see the winner loading up in the helicopter talking about surviving and never thought, you know, this contestant would be the winner. I'm being careful here so I don't spoil it for any of you, and my wife just looks at me like you're kidding me. We've been watching for eleven weeks, and at week twelve, you just rolled and showed me who the winner was. And I looked at her and I was like, oh,
I am so very sorry. I'm an idiot. And so we then stopped and immediately went to alone, which is what I should have done. Ruined the whole thing, just took all the steam out of who's going to win? They're three left, Who's gonna win? I am such adult.
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show on WFLA back at.
The program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less. Ye know, I must say, and I must say this. Even though some of the stories were a bit heavy, not all, in fact, relatively few, but it's some. This was a delightful show. This was a wonderful welcome back to all of you listening to the program after we were away for three shows. You're welcome, No, really, you're welcome. OSE worked so hard today. I worked hard yesterday preparing for today. I work hard this afternoon preparing for tomorrow.
But this was just a good show. Rather than recap the program, I'm just going to tell you go listen to the podcast. This is a absolute Yeah. This would be one you would put in the b and say, yeah, this one's a keeper. Ah. There might have been a show last week to throw back in the water, see if it got a little bigger, a little better. This show keeper keeper. Yeah. So check out the podcast. The
conversation with JD. Johnson will be boiled down to one conversation that will be on the Conversations podcast as well, so we'll have two podcasts loading in just a little bit. Tomorrow. Steve Stewart will join us Sell Newso with Consumer's Defense talk about the work they're doing to keep your wallet protected. Also have doctor Steve Steverson a pastor thoughts segment give you a road trip idea. Already, I don't know where I'm going to fit the rest of the show in,
so we'll just have to come back together and find out. Folks, Thanks for listening, have a great day.
