Even in between the lines, sort of this Morning Show with Preston Scott Morning Friends on Preston he is Jose can you see? But it done great to be with you friends for a Wednesday, October the second, and off we go into the tenth month of the year putting together the best of shows. It's been crazy, just kind of reliving the year in slow motion, because that's what
when we're putting these shows together. You're going through January and then February and March and all of the different months, and you're picking out the interviews and you and it's just you're going through the year and you're like, oh yeah, oh yeah, I remember that. It's crazy. So I'm looking forward to the best of Shows, the twelve Days of Preston our gift to you as we get away from
the grind for the holiday season. Will have settled the presidential election or will we what's the over under on the number of days after the election that we have confirmed accepted results. Some would say that depends on how much cheating goes on. I wouldn't say that necessarily right now, but I'm just saying, let's begin with some scripture. As we like to do. We like to start the show with this proverbs. We don't dip into proverbs all that often. It's full of wisdom. I mean, it just is you
just huh, boy, that makes a lot of sense. Proverbs four twenty three. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. This is one of the scriptures that I've mentioned frequently on this show over the years, not this one, but another one that connects to this. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. It is amazing how something will set somebody off, they will rage, And what that reveals is what's deep down in the heart. Rage, anger, disappointment, whatever
the case might be. It comes out of the mouth. Obviously, that becomes important because as what comes out of the mouth is a creative force. For example, I've frequently admonished some of you parents to not send your kids out the door being yelled at, because it creates a force. Our words create. They can create a positive, loving, reaffirming message. They can create a destructive, degrading, hurtful message, and not just with your kids, but in general. And usually what
comes out reveals what's inside the heart. So this proverb, if we just go right back to the root of Okay, out of the abundance of the heart. The mouth speaks, the things that we speak, the words that we use, the tone, all of that is revealing what is in our heart. Now, let's go back to where this starts. Proverbs for keep your heart with all vigilance guard it is another way of saying that guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow springs of life. What
kind of spring? What kind of spring flows from your heart? I know how God designed it. But this is litmus test time. This is hold up the mirror, take a good look, evaluate kind of you know? Are you? Are you short tempered? If you are, that tends to reveal some issues in your heart that need fixing. And here's the good news. They can be fixed. God can heal all that. Can't necessarily erase things that have happened in
the past, but He can heal those things. Ten minutes past the hour, go inside the American Patriots Almanac next, and off we go Wednesday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Inside the American Patriots Almanac and Soosey's dancing over there, Happy Guy seventeen eighty in Tapa, New York. British Major John andre Is hanged as a spy after he's capt caring papers for Trader Benedict Arnold m hmm. That's part of the story, Washington's Secret six, the secret
Spiring thing that Brian Kilmeat and Don Dieger wrote. Brilliant book. Brilliant book. It is a book you probably wouldn't put down very often if you started reading it. It's great, great look at a very little known part of American history that in fact, it is claimed by the authors that we likely do not gain our independence without those spies.
That's how valuable they turned out to be. And Washington pushed past his own fears over what happened with Nathan Hale to go ahead with espionage to gain information that would prove vital. Just for a second, pause, This is the stuff I do, Okay. I read the Bible, and when I see the letters and read I imagine how Jesus said something, What kind of tone? Where was the emphasis when Jesus sighed looking at a deaf mute? What
did that sigh mean? When I read the pages of history, I think how different would our country be had we
been a British nation? By now, especially when you look at what's happened in England with the rise of socialism, and it's it's an interesting thought experiment, and to me it underscores my heartfelt belief that God was orchestrating and ordering the steps, and thankfully we had men and women in our founding that were seeking him, because the Bible says that the steps of the righteous are ordered by God.
Sorry.
Eighteen thirty five Texas Revolution against Mexico begins as American settlers resist Mexican troops at Gonzalez. Nineteen nineteen, President Woodrow Wilson suffers a stroke that leaves him an invalid. Nineteen fifty Peanuts by Charles Schultz is first published. Boy, what a run he had. Extrip. It's still a thing, Charlie Brown, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas still a thing. It's a great Christmas. It's a great all of those specials. Halloween one makes me laugh
so hard because of Snoopy. Snoopy's awesome. And in nineteen sixty seven, Third Good Marshall, first Black justice on the US Supreme Court, is sworn in. Mm hmmm, yeah, definitely needed to have justices that represents all facets of this country. They just needed to be the right justices, and history proves we just don't get that all right. Sure'se W. Bush didn't get it all right. Donald Trump didn't get
it all right. No president gets it all right, gets the appointments correct when they appoint Anyway, sixteen past the hour, come back channel a little Jim Crochey when we returned. Drummers are cool. I wish I could play drums. I've just never seen a drummer that's not cool. Phil Collins when he was performing, would always do some drum solos. Great concert. You can find a concert of Phil Collins. I think it's the Finally Farewell Again or something like
that in Paris. It's just it's a spectacular concert. Big Phil Collins fan. Anyway, twenty two passed the hour random thoughts, random random information about me that you really didn't care to know, but I told you anyway today on the program, we're going to take your calls next hour. I'll set all that up in a little bit, but we're going to take your calls. I'll give you a hint, Helen, and we're going to talk about the storm. And I'm prepared to push away the hour If the calls keep coming,
I'll keep talking about it. If not, we'll talk for a little while, get to some other things. Animal stories. Next hour, Third hour. JD. Johnson joins us. Personal defense. We've got some stories local shooting that happened here at a business. Self defense. Very interesting story. We'll talk about that some other things as well. I'll get his thoughts on so I cannot wait for that. So it's going to be a busy day today. As always, it's going
to move very quickly. In fact, you might put a bagel in the toaster and before it's done, we might be finished. That's how fast we might be moving today. I've always believed we were the fastest three hours in media, with all due respect to Rush. I yeah, I think we were faster, not by much, but we were quick, always have been anyway. This is funny to me. GUILLELM. Blond, head of the Town of a Year Regional Archaeology Service. Student volunteers working on an emergency dig at the remains
of a Gaulish village endangered by cliff erogion. So this village is in danger of just kind of going away, so they're doing this emergency excavation to see what they can uncover and find about this village. And they found a small glass bodell huh, a small little glass bottle inside an earthenware pot. They brought the bottle to Blondell and there was a message in the bottle. That's what I mean by little Jim Crochy time in a bottle. The first thing that I'd like to do. He opened
it up. This is like, this is old school trolling. That's what this is. You're an archaeologist. You find this earthen kind of pot and you open it up and inside is a glass bottle two hundred plus years old, and inside of that it's a message. Huh. The student archaeologists found that there had been another archaeologist there two hundred years earlier, and he left a note behind a troll um. Now that's my terminology because I'm just using modern terminology to just have fun with the fact. I mean,
wouldn't it be awesome? You think you've uncovered this incredible thing and someone leaves a note that goes, ha ha, I was here first. It just struck me as so funny. The note reads PJ. Falle, a native dalaip member of various intellectual societies carried out excavations here. In January eighteen twenty five, he continues his investigations into the bast area known as the City de Lembs or Caesar's Camp. So
there you go, students work in this site. Find a bottle with a message that shows that it had been excavated long before they ever got there. I think it's awesome. Twenty seven minutes past the hour. Let's get ready for the big stories in the breast Box. Next the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's see well. First, Hi, good morning, ruminators, friends, ladies and gentlemen, Males and females only, boys and girls welcome. Second half of the first hour of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. There, I'm Preston. He's Jose, and we thank you for letting us share time with you. Very kind of you. Will try not to be rude, try my best, try not to overstay my welcome. I will leave by nine o'clock. I'll not stay a moment longer, I promise. Now. Vice Presidential debate Iran's attack on ten million people, weighty mass matters? Are these to figure out which is more important? Yeah, I'll take the ten million people.
This is a wonderful opportunity to crystallize the differences between hesbalah Iran Islamist extremists who hate and the nation of Israel. And I'd like to take a moment to point out something that I think is worth thinking about. Israel is the only nation formed by God. God said you will be my people, and then he later opened the door for anyone, anywhere, any group, any nation to be his people. But let's not forget that Israel is God's now we
all are. But I think those of you that are maybe students of the Bible understand kind of what I'm driving out of here. I say that not because Israel's perfect, because far from they've they've they have run from God in many regards and many respects, but they're still gods. It's up to him. You know. We we hold accountable based on our friendship and relationship. But understand that. I believe that one of the reasons why our nation has been so profoundly blessed and why people still I mean,
people break in to get here. And while a lot of them are crummy people, they're they're they're the worst of the worst. They're murders and rapists and so forth. There are some people that just want to be in this country to have a chance at something great and something special, and that's why people still come here. But without getting into specifics of the the details of the attack yesterday by Iran, hundreds of ballistic missiles fired into Israel.
They just fired it. Civilians, they just drop, They just drop missiles anywhere. Hesbila launched rockets, rockets, whatever. What does Israel do? Israel does surgical strikes on military targets, precision strikes on terrorists in their headquarters where they're meeting on them. Yes, some civilians are caught up in that, but they're not aiming at civilians. They're aiming at military terrorist targets. Iran they're happy to blow up as many of the ten
million as they possibly can. And there's the difference. It is a major difference. It is a significant difference. It is not splitting hairs. It is the difference between what Israel is doing and what started this latest Middle East conflict, the attack of civilians by beasts, by terrorists, by murderers on October sixth or is it seventh seventh? That's the difference. Thus, that is the big story in the press box today. This crystallizes it. And I want to point one more
thing out. Did you notice how quiet things were with Iran when Donald Trump was in office, and how shortly after Joe Biden released billions of frozen assets back to Iran all this crap started. You can make the argument Joe Biden has funded this forty minutes past the hour this morning show with Preston's guy, and just to find a little note on the Middle East, you cannot allow any one who calls for the elimination of another nation to have nuclear weapons. Let me give you a real
simple analogy here. You cannot allow someone who says, you know what, if I got myself a gun, I would shoot him in the face. I'd kill him on the spot. You don't give that guy a firearm. You just don't when nations want to be big boys and adults and adopt the principle of other nations have a right to exist. Okay. Notice that when we dropped the two bombs in World War Two, we didn't take Japan. I could have and take Germany. We could have. We didn't say to the French,
you guys are so poor at defending yourselves. I mean, look at history. Come on, I think we need to just go ahead and take this nation for the good of Europe. No, no, we could take Mexico tomorrow. I probably know a group of guys that could take Mexico tomorrow, liberate the country. Anyway, there was the vice presidential debate. I told Jose here's all I needed to hear from the debate, although I've listened to a good bit of it this morning. I you know, arrived early in CBS News.
I told he was he yesterday. I would not have agreed, and I might have said this on the show. I would not have agreed to do this debate on CBS or NBC or ABC or CNN or MSNBC. I just wouldn't have CBS, as one of its rules said no fact checking. We're gonna let you guys have your say, and you know these are the rules, no live audience. And and so you got jd Vance, you got Tim Walls CBS Vice presidential debate. Courtesy of CBS. They got to the legal status of Haitian immigrants. Thank you, senator
for describing the legal process. They have so much ticket.
Senators sell the book since nineteen ninety.
Thank you, gentlemen.
We want to have that has not been on the books.
Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut. They cut the mics after violating the rules and quote fact checking. Vance Van said no, no, no, no, that you're not allowed to do that. So I'm going to give you the facts and the record here on this. See, that's all I needed to know about the debate. I knew it. I knew it. I called it. I said it. It was three against one that said it was civil both sides it was. I was surprised. I wasn't surprised
by jd. Vance. I was surprised by Tim Walls. He was more civil than I expected. In fact, frequently could be heard. You know, there's a lot of commonality here. That's because he's clueless. He doesn't have any ideas, and so as JD. Vance is expounding on ideas on things that will make a difference, on policies that worked before will work again, Tim Walls is back there going, yeah, you know, he's got a good point. There a lot of commonality here because he's got nothing to say that.
Tim Walls was okay, terrible early first half, second half a little better, closing better. But there are some other takeaways. We'll try to get to some of those as we go. Immigration's the big one, you know, because Democrats don't understand how an economy works. They literally don't understand it. I'm not being critical, they just don't get it. It's not a lot different than throwing algebra in front of a five year old. They just don't get it. Not mad
as them right, they just don't get it. Democrats don't get it. Now some advance a socialist way of dealing with an economy, which fails all the time at helping lift anybody because socialism by itself creates a caste system where you are where you are and you remain there anyway. I just I don't want to get trapped in talking about the debate because it really doesn't matter. It just doesn't. But we'll we'll spend a little bit of time forty seven past the hour. We're going to set up some
phone calls. Next on the Morning Show.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio double UFLA Panama City.
Dot com.
Whatting. I say, we gather together and have our sales and conversation.
So we're gonna open up the phone lines here in just moments and take your calls on one topic and one topic only, Hurricane Hellen.
Yeah, here's what I want to do. I want your thoughts on the storm. If you've been listening over the last couple of days, I've shared a few things. I've received some emails. One I'll share here. Love your show most of the time, great content. However, you doubting the
strength of the storm is concerning. If you have any doubt that it wasn't a category three or four, I strongly encourage you to visit eastern Jefferson, Taylor, Madison Counties, take a short trip to Brooks or Lowndes County in Georgia. Catastrophic damage truly hard breaking. Appreciate the note I do. I want to make clear this storm, evidenced by the
rainfall it is produced, has been devastating. There are out there all the theories in the world that this storm was man made, that electromagnetic impulses and I'm not just talking the mag lab, but I'm talking about steered the thing.
And I mean there are videos out there detailing. Of course, they don't tell you who they are, they don't give you credentials, they don't identify themselves in any way, shape or form, and so they're just they're theories out there that the storm was manipulated in some way, shape or form,
in either direction, or what have you. And there are videos I was sent, I've been sent three or four videos detailing see look at that that was picked up by infrared, or that was picked up by radar, or that was picked up by these satellites that read this, that and the other. There's all kinds of things out there. And if you think that I you're welcome to call in. I'm not interested in a filibuster. I'm interested in you just sharing what your thoughts are about the storm. And
I'm not again downplaying that devastation has happened here. I know it has. I'm questioning the accuracy of the National Hurricane Center on the timing because the timing was off by eight hours and that just seems out of place. And I also think it's very very bad for a lot of reasons. They were off by hours that could have been used to help people prepare for such a bad storm, a Cat three or four storm and still gotten people out of harm's way safely and so forth.
It changes the evacuation times, right, it changes when the cutoffs are to get people out of a certain area. But then there's the strength thing. I don't believe it was a Category three or four, and I have yet to see anything that proves to me it was damage. Yes, tornadoes, certainly, we're some tornadoes. Rain absolutely, winds that knocked over trees. Yeah, tropical storm force winds do that. But Cat three or four, I'm just not seeing it, and I think it's problematic.
But what do you think eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The phone lines are open right now, start with throwing you a curve ball. The Morning show banned breaking out something different phone numbers eight five zero two zero five WFLA. And it's important for you to know why I think this matters, and I'm asking you to give me your thoughts on the storm. Do you think it was a category A high Category three, a low category four that's been reported everywhere across the country, And
that's what you're gonna find. You're not gonna find anybody stepping up showing a verified wind reading of one hundred and forty miles an hour one hundred and thirty five steady wins. I don't even think you'll find a gust.
There's why it matters. Number One, I believe that the National Hurricane Center, under the auspices and umbrella of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which are under the auspices of the current administration, have a vested interest in seeing CAT three, Cat four historic, et cetera, because it helps
the narrative of grbel warming. Have you noticed how Hurricane Helene continues to be blamed for all of the deaths across the country, And there have been some when it wasn't a hurricane, It just it wasn't it was a storm, it became a tropical storm, that it became a tropical depression,
that it became a weather system. And you know, I've had more than one person point out that these deaths in much of the country not attributed to the direct landfall and the sweeping along the western coast of Florida that a hurricane, it was a hurricane is directly responsible for. Had there not been that, had we just had which we've had before, massive rains flooding and deaths. That would
be a death from flooding. But it's being attributed to a hurricane, a category for hurricane which is already being used as a result of man made climate change. That's why this matters in part. But I have more to that. I want to go to the phone lines eight five zero two zero five WSLA. Jen, thanks for calling him, HI present.
I have thought about this too. I think it falls on the fact that they just can no longer predict some of these storms. Always in the past, if it's a hurricane and it hits land, that normally slows it down and de intensifies it. That didn't happen with this. I mean we got spared, all of Florida did compared to North Carolina. If it were a hurricane and overland that entire time, it would not have been that forceful. So I think I can't imagine how they could manipulate it.
But I just think they've gotten to the point where they cannot predict what these storms are going to do. I think there were so many tornadoes in it that there has never been and I think we need to go back to the drawing board on how they predict this. That's my opinion.
Thank you, Jan appreciate that. Let's go to Ronnie. Hi, Ronnie, thanks for calling in.
Thank President. I've got some friends of mine that live in Madison and from Valdosta originally, but he said that they caught wind speed at the airport in Valdosta at one hundred and thirty and then I've heard another report of one thirty six out of Valdosta.
Okay, have you seen that verified like officially?
No? No, I have not seen it officially verifact. I pressed the source I got it from, but you know, I have not physically verified it or dug into it the very fact I work in Monticella and we've been trying to recover from the hurricane damage.
So fair enough, Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Ronnie, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Again, there were we were told all along that being on the western side of this wouldn't matter because of its intensity because it was a category four, And I'm just I'm gonna be candid with you. Well I don't, of course, I'm candid with you. We have regular storms that blow through here that cause more tree damage and damage than what
this category four storm brought. We do. We've all experienced that. I'm not saying that there wasn't damage. I guess there was, and ask the people of Perry how they feel right now. But I also see a lot of tornado damage, and I'll point out to everyone saying, well, look at all the trees that were knocked down in Georgia, and tropical storm force winds blow down trees. I'm not seeing proof
of a three or four. I have multiple people that I've spoken with that I've heard from in emails and texts that live in the area that was impacted by Adahia, Debbie, and now Helene, and all of them say Debbie and Adalia were far stronger than Helene, but yet Helene was the three or four. And these are people that were
impacted by all three of the storms. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA little late here, eleven, almost twelve minutes past the hour, back with more of your calls here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott with the Morning Show, Preston Scott. Just open it up a bit of a can of worms here, I know, and this will be a shorter segment because I went long there, but I'm open to taking calls this entire half hour eight five zero two zero five WFLA, we're just getting
your thoughts on the storm. Was it a category three or four storm? Chris? What do you think?
So I was president, I was just going to comment on the previous caller, and so I did see where WLB hosted the Valdosta Regional Airport win speeds and it was if I remember right, it was gusts of one hundred and thirty miles an hour clock and sustained winds of one o three. Okay, that's what I saw at Valdostar Regional Airport. So I tend to agree with you that it was somewhat overestimated.
Okay. So I feel good knowing we've got a meteorologist weather station saying one oh three sustained and the occasional gusts that hit the higher number. Okay, thank you, Chris. I appreciate that you have anything else you want to think? Why do you think they're overstating it?
Well, you know, I think that number one, they have to air on the side of caution, right, So I think that it doesn't it doesn't hurt the governor and doesn't hurt the regional representatives to say, oh my goodness, be prepared for this high intensity storm. Evacuate, evacuate, evacuate. It puts them in a position where they can't be you know, politically impacted. Meanwhile, you know it's it's you
see locally. So I'm from Thomasville, you see locally this the previous storm, I forget the previous hurricane was they closed schools and you know, we had nothing, and the local the parents were upset. You know, I said, oh my goodness, we canceled work. We're staying home with the kids.
And so these guys get under the gun. But meanwhile, if you have you know, cat for and you hype up the intensity, then it's a lot easier for them to say, well, you know, we're going based on recommendations at the state level, and so to me, at least, I think that's part of the reason, is it's a protective mechanism for the politicians. But I have a friend that lives out in Toombs County, Vydelia, Georgia area, and they're without power for two weeks. So the wind, I
mean the winds. No one's arguing that there was some real damage. As you said, absolutely, wat spread you know, up into North Carolina. Of course all that area and the builtmore of course had damage all the way up there. So but I think that in this area it's it's just exactly what I said, which is just to try and protect these people from from being under the microscope and suffering political damage.
Thank you, Chris, appreciate the phone call. Let's go to Patricia. Hi, Patricia, thanks for calling in.
Hey. Two comments. One is about the timing. I do think you're one hundred percent on that. I just am really upset about it. I have friends that live on a canal. The whole neighborhood is just row after row of canals in Saint Pete on the bayside, and for you know, given all these horrible you know, predictions and everything, well the storm went past them and it was a nothing burder. So they stayed, they didn't evacuate, They didn't
really do much to prepare for. What they weren't told is that when high tide comes and this storm is passed, that the that's when the surge comes. They had no idea. They were woken up in the middle of the night water was coming into their house that they live in a little fifty's house that's never flooded ever. The whole neighborhood, street after street had four feet of water in their home.
It destroyed everything, and it came through in the middle of the night after the storm had passed, just because of high tide in the direction of the wind. So that was a terrible thing. The other thing, unrelated to that about the whole wind speed thing, there was a there's a site that I go to to look for the hurricane direction and the wind speed and all that kind of stuff, and I've used the site for many
many years. I do love windy, I really do. But this site shows in the past would show the hurricane in real time. It would show the bands would speed on the band, so you could see exactly what was happened, exactly where various wind speeds. Well, guess what this year, they don't show that that particular map anymore.
It's gone interesting.
So it was, Yeah, it was really interesting that there was no windsbyed bands, and so I couldn't tell what it was because in the past I've been able to help friends there along the coast and so forth and say, hey, you know, it's going this far out and it's only forty months per hour.
Whatever, Patricia, I got to run, I appreciate it. I'm late against a break, Dave, you'll be first when we come back. Eighteen past the hour. I'm way late. This morning show with Preston Scott are about Hurricane Helene. It was a hurricane. I don't doubt that it was a huge storm. I don't doubt that. I just have other questions, and there are reasons for my questions. Dave, what do you think?
HI trust and I know on a completely different thought process and where you're going. But Rush Limbaugh said on more than one occasion that the Weather Channel and people like them were directly responsible for the deaths of people, basically under the boy who cried Wolf syndrome. Every time there's a storm coming, they're standing out there saying, this is the one. It's going to kill a bunch of people. This is the most horrible thing we've ever seen. And
anybody you know, yeah, we know they're really dangerous. I went through Hurricane Andrew in South Florida. I'm not stupid. I don't think most of us are stupid. But the mass audience consuming that when it doesn't happen after some point, they're like, Eh, I'm not even gonna worry about this, And therefore rustler bust theory was, you know, they cried
wolf too many times. And isn't there some I believe some weather person somewhere standing talking about a flood somewhere a few years ago, and some stray vagabond wanders behind the camera and it's really water that's basically more slightly over ankle deep yep, And that's you know, I think there's a lot of that, and oh, this is the big one. And I don't trust I don't trust the category. I just don't trust anything they say anymore.
Thank you, Dave. I appreciate that you are certainly not alone in your feelings there. I'm not going to lay at all on the on the feet of the Weather Channel. There are good and bad inside there. Obviously we have a relationship with the radio side of the Weather Channel, but overall, as a group, the company believes in global warming and the founder of the Weather Channel doesn't. That's what's interesting. The founder of the Weather Channel is an
outspoken he long ago sold it. He's an outspoken critic of the whole global warming nonsense. Tom, thanks for calling in what do you.
Think, good morning.
I live in Mayo and we have been hit by the Eastern Iwall on all three of the hurricanes. Yes, sir, you have a Dahlia was I Dallia was bad, Debbie was nothing, but Helene was much stronger than okay, than a Dallia.
See I've been told by others.
I can't recall the name. I've got a wind meter at my house that's planned on our six x six, twelve feet off the ground, and it registered a gust of one hundred and thirty five and the average wind speed was just a little over one hundred miles an hour.
Gotcha. I appreciate that that. Again we're hearing of gus. But a Category three or four storm means sustained, sustained wins in the one thirties to low one forties. And again I'm not arguing that there was a storm and there was bad weather here, but to put a point, a final point on this, because we'll draw this segment to a close and I'm going to get some people on that know more about this stuff than I do.
I'm just looking at it from a large overview here, Waine strength, and I think the point that Dave made is really important when you tell people it's a three or four and they batten down the hatches and they go buy the plywood and they get all that and they don't even see a tree down in their area. Yes, thank god, we're grateful, right, but you breed a distrust of future forecasting. That's a problem. That's a problem. You just need to be accurate, whatever it is an issue.
Did you notice that the forecast did not deviate the National Hurricane Center forecast off of Tallahassee to the very end. It showed it going over Tallahassee straight up to Atlanta. Here's the problem by not showing that move that all the other models were going to. That move also showed the storm heading to North Carolina. And I don't think people in North Carolina knew it was coming until it
was too late. It might not have made a bit of difference, but the faulty forecast, I believe, cost lives. And so I think that all of this added up to this is a terrible thing for the areas hit by the storm, whether it's by storm surge, by flood in the rainfall, or wind. I don't believe we saw a category three or four. Tom, I appreciate and I'm glad you're okay. I've had other people say the opposite, that Adalia and Debbie were stronger. It could be that
you you're around a tornado. I mean, I don't know, I don't know. Twenty nine minutes past. I'm really late. We'll get caught up.
Next thing show with Preston Scott, Fun News Radio one seven UFLA.
Forgot to send you the website. Just send Jose a link because I didn't include it in the first email. The actual website, climate depot climatedepot dot com, is the website where you can get a little bit of a contrarian view on the global warming nonsense, and Mark Morano is the founder of it. Mark has been a guest on the show several times over the years, and I've just reached out to Mark and asked him if he'll
come back on to talk about it. And he's noting the hysteria see the fact that this storm has been jumped on by the left to bring more regulatory clamps on our lives and to point out how evil and bad and horrible we all are because of col flatulence and the lack of zero emissions products. And I mean, I could go on and on, and it comes back down to a fundamental lack of understanding that most of all of us have. And I'm being charitable when I say that because I don't have a lack of understanding
on this. I'm just being a good guy throwing myself in with you. But you need to be able to understand and explain why carbon dioxide is a very good thing. That the Earth has this pattern of warming and cooling, and it has since it's creation by God, and that in fact, cooling kills more than warming does. That's always been the case. Cold kills more. Warming actually increases the amount of farmable land in the country, in the world, rather and in the country, but everywhere around the world.
I thought we wanted trees. Trees thrive off carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. It's an incredible thing God set up. Anyway, when we come back, I'm going to do the real big stories in the press box. Well, we'll address this whole weather thing in the next week or so, hopefully with Mark Morano climatedepot dot com if you're interested in
the site climatedepot dot com. Forty minutes past the hour The Big Stories in the press Box, albeit a segment late next The Morning Show with Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven WFLA vice presidential debate last night, It probably didn't change a lot of people's minds. Jd Vance came out very collegial, wasn't personally attacking. In fact, it offered sympathies towards the governor and was kind Governor. Tim Walls tried to excuse some of his statements as
him being a knucklehead statements related to Tianaman Square. I don't believe him. I don't believe in one bit. He's on national television. He knows those are losing issues and losing mindsets, and he tried to copy an excuse. He piggybacked on jd Vance on several policy issues because Kamala Hairis doesn't have any he doesn't know. Jd Vance won that debate. But that wasn't at all surprise. A surprise to me is that Tim Walls was able to control
himself for the most part. His inflammatory rhetoric. He didn't try bringing that to the state. The attacks that he made on JD Vance away from him. I would have respected Walls Moore if he'd have been the same in front of vans. But he wasn't, and so you could say, well, it's a win for civility. Okay, fair enough, CBS violated its own rules neither they would not a surprise. So that's one big story. The other big story in the press box, obviously is the attack on Israel by Iran.
And I just want to point out Iran did not target military bases, they targeted the nation. The attack, like previous efforts, largely ineffective. But I want to point out a couple of things. Russia invaded Ukraine when who is president? Youran hesbela. The attack on Israel happened when who was president? So well, what does the United States have to do with it? The United States has everything to do with that, because even though China is catching up, the United States
still carries the biggest stick. Now we're weakened, we're falling behind in our not just keeping up with the Chinese and the Chicoms, but but keeping well ahead. We're falling behind in that, but we still carry the big stick. But when you have weakness in authority, and you have weakness on top of your military apparatus. I have great, great regarding respect for our commanders, but the people commanding the commanders, I don't. But I just want to point
out Israel has conducted itself with restraint. When it dropped the bomb on the leader of Hesbela, it warned the Iranian citizens it was coming, and it was a specific target attack, as all of them have been. Those pagers. They were in the land in the hands of Hesbela terrorists. Did others get hurt? Yes, you can't stop at all the Iranians Hesbela hamas targets civilians. There's the difference. There's
the difference. It was a little better than a year ago perhaps that Joe Biden said to Iran regarding any attacks on Israel. Don't well, we can see how seriously they took that, and why would they. He gave them billions of their dollars which they've used to fund terrorism. So those are the big stories in the press box. It's forty six minutes past the hour. We're gonna break come back with some animal stories on the Morning Show with Pressman Scott.
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Next hour, Jadi Johnson of the Talent training group back with us. Charlie did send me a note, he said, I'll be back, I'll be back, and so we'll be back hit a couple of weeks and Jad's like, thank God, but we'll We'll get to all of that next hour in our personal defense segment, but first.
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 Preston Scott Tip.
Of the Captain Larry Lujack WLS Chicago. This is classic because you just never know. When you go to the store and they have the lobster aquarium at the market. We're not talking red lobster. We're just talking about you're going to the grocery store that sells live lobsters. They got the big tank. The kids always want to go see it, right, Well, that's what happened for one mom at Market thirty two in Clifton Park, New York. Danielle Morales.
Her boys wanted to see the lobsters and then one of the boys says, Mommy, that one's blue, And sure enough they had a lobster in the tank that was a genetic freak. Now there's a possibility that it's not as much genetics. So it could be partially because genetics play a role in lobster's being all kinds of different colors, from white to orange to blue. This one they think might be more blue because of its diet. But the bottom line is the lady had the presence of mind
to immediately message the aquarium. What's it called. It's the the Via Aquarium in Schenectady, And they responded immediately called the store and said hold that lobster, and the lady went to the counter and advanced and said, hey, you're gonna getting a call from the aquarium. They'd like that lobster. And so they saved the lobster. Lobsters in quarantine right now and we'll be put on display soon. So there
you go. There's one good deed. But as soon as you see a good deed like that, then you come across a story like this. The San Diego, Sioux is celebrating a pair of game flamingos. The outlet KTLA joyously reporting quoting a pair of male flamingos. A same sex couple at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park have successfully welcomed a baby chick together well, of course they didn't
because two males can't produce an egg. So here's what happened. Say, a little digging causes us to get some information, because they had a couple of male birds hanging out together. Apparently they're like eighth graders at the dance. They just stand on the wall together and you know, can't get a date whatever. So what they did is they put a phony egg in their nest and they saw that. Well, here's the thing. Flamingos will take care of their young,
that's what happens. So they see one of these guys sitting on the egg and they go, wouldn't it be fun? And so what they did is they took the real egg from a female flamingo, swapped it out, and put it underneath these guys. The egg hatches and next thing you know, they're proudly proclaiming they've got two gay parent flamingos, or two gay flamingo parents would be better yet. And so the sex is not known of the of the hatchlings. So I guess we now have officially not just two
gay flamingos, but a non binary chick. But then that in and of itself, isn't it isn't chick slang for a female. So now we're stuck with the oxymoron of a non binary chick with no way you can't have a nun never mind animal stories, Ladies and gentlemen, here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You gotta look. Nothing is safe anymore. Yeah, these stories are as much as anything else a commentary. There are no boundaries anymore,
There is no fence anymore. The lgbt, q R S, element o p whatever is going to attack the animal Kingdom. It's going to be everywhere. Every effort is being made to normalize what is not normal, and they'll use the San Diego Zoo and any agenda driven employee to accomplish that purpose. And so we just have the pleasant responsibility to point it out wherever, whenever we can. And in this case, it wasn't just to see I snuck it by. You see here, You thought you were just going to
get some innocent, little all nacute animal story. But nay, nay, Yes, even in the world of the Animal Kingdom, we have wokeness and political correctness and the alphabet community. When we come back, I've got a page full of things and a paper clip to discuss with JD. Johnson. Next, and here we are the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. That's Hose. Can you see over there in studio one A, Yes, that's right. Can you see c an su no? C an U s E. Yeah,
I got that right. You can email him Jose. Can you see at iHeartRadio dot com. Simple as that. But we welcome in studio for the third hour. JD. Johnson with us yet again type of personal defense. He co founder of the talent training group Talent Range and of course co host of Talent Outdoors, which can be heard on these fine radio stations on Saturday, and you can also check it out on the iHeartRadio app. How are you? I'm great? How about you doing good? How was your storm clean?
Now?
Very brief, it was, thankfully, thankfully no damage anywhere.
Yeah around us.
You know, while all that was going on, we had a couple of shootings locally. But there's one I want to get your thoughts on because it really ties into the things we've talked about for the last several years, and it is personal defense business called Florida Hemp Distribution. There's an attempted robbery, a male employee fights back. Now we don't know, at least I don't know. I've not seen whether the attempted robber, the whether you had a
weapon or not. But the attack continued and the employee gets arm's length away, is trying to stop the attack continues, He draws a firearm and discharges his weapon and kills the attacker. What in that scenario do you as you just think about it? Was there anything that the employee did wrong?
I don't think so. I mean, I don't know anything about it. I haven't I haven't read about it or heard about it. But yeah, I mean, you're you're if you have a robbery going on at your place of business and your employer, if you're not the employer or the business owner allows you to carry on the job, you're very well within statutory statutory rights to defend yourself from a robbery.
It's a forcible felony.
The employee was not arrested, no charges are going to be filed. All of it appears to be self defense. But let me then bring out from this just the scenario of does it matter because we don't know at this point, but would it matter if the attacker had a weapon or did not have a weapon, but was still violently physically attacked.
No, under the because it is a forcible felony, a robbery. I mean you can, you can have a disparity in size and aggression or whatever. And you know that that's what allows a small person that can't physically defend themselves against a large person to be within their be within their rights and within the statutory language of use of force to shoot somebody.
What if it's inverted, what if the employee is our size, and what if the attacker is someone that is rather diminutive.
Right, still still a forcible felony. You know, you're you're burden of if it was if it was somewhere happening on the street, you know, where somebody's just making a threat to harm somebody, as opposed to committing a robbery. A robbery is I'm gonna beat you up if you don't give me whatever. Uh, So you have that forcible taking of property. So under statutory language, it's forcible robbery.
It doesn't matter, It shouldn't matter, but in reality, if it does, if you had an attorney, a state attorney somewhere that decided to charge you. You may have some explaining to do. You know, it's one of those things where smaller, weaker, older, more diminutive people, smaller people can get away with using a firearm in some circumstances.
Jadi Johnson with me, Talent Training Group. And I think this is going to be the first of more of this kind of thing at that type of business.
Oh yeah, for sure.
And we're going to talk about that next. Amendment three is on the ballot, friends, and that's going to I think if it's past, we're going to see a lot of stuff like this, And we're going to talk about that next. And we are back. JD Johnson with me from the Talent Training Group. Amendment three is on the ballot. That's the one that legalizes recreational use of weed. Before we drill down into some specifics, I want to get your thoughts on just broadly, what do you think.
Oh, I just so hope that doesn't pass. Why smell it just I can't. Personal conviction, Yeah, personal conviction and uh and the whole If you've never been somewhere where it's legal, before you vote yes on it, whether if you're apathetic about it, go go to Las Vegas and just try to go outside and enjoy the evening, you know, walking around looking at the at the fountain at Blaggio or watching the Pirate Ship or whatever, you know, shows
that are outside. You can't. That's all you smell. And I'm not I'm personally I don't like the smell.
It's just it just.
It's a nasty, dank, pungents.
Yeah, it's just nauseating to me personally, So it's it. But yeah, when you legalize it for recreational use, one, you're going to have more and more kids getting hold of it, Thank you. It's going to be out there. The eighteen or twenty one year old, whatever the age cutoff is going to be, is going to be doing what they've always done and bringing their little brother, little sister along, passing it out to the friends, whatever else.
It's going to.
Proliferate a lot deeper into our world if it's legal for recreational use, and it's going to I think you will see a spike in the crime rate. I mean because of it and because of people wanting to get a hold of it, and we see robberies. What was the most likely place to get robbed? The two most likely places to get robbed in the in history, where the robberies always happen. Liquor stores, convenience stores that sell beer at two o'clock in the morning. That's, for whatever reason,
that's where they happen. That's where a lot of robberies. You know, Robb the liquor store robbed a convenience store, and they're you know, liquor stores. Uh, it's just an inviting nuisance, is what it boils down to. And I'm not not opposed to you know, I just think it will cause problems.
Your experience with it would seem to indicate that you have an informed opinion on this. You know. I've been taking the approach that you know, science has proven that this harms forming adolescent brains, that this is going to hurt children and minors, teenagers and tweens, and and so the fact that it's going to be legal means it's going to be more accessible, whether legal or not, right to those kids because it's legal on the front end.
Absolutely.
I mean, it's if you can go down to the corner store basically, or go to the corner weed dispensary and buy it without any kind of a medical reason or whatever else. Yeah, there's going to be more of it around. So that there's more of it around, you're going to have more kids get in the hold of it, more teenagers.
I think some people are being confused by seeing a couple of sheriffs, including Gadsden County Sheriffs Morris Young, advocating the passage of it, and he states that it's going to make things easier on law enforcement. Do you agree?
No, I don't.
I think you're going to have more traffic crashes involving under the influence, and it's more difficult to tell at the scene of a crash unless you have the very pungent odor at a traffic crash. Let's say they're not smoking it, they're doing the gummy bears or whatever, the edible stuff that you don't get that overwhelming. I mean I can smell green, green or smoked marijuana at a distance. As a law enforcement officer, I could smell it if there's somebody in the car in front of me had it,
you know the car. I could smell the car in front of me if it was loaded down with it, well, the windows down.
But according to fhp JD, one quarter of the drivers in a fatality related crash are now under the influence of marijuana.
That doesn't surprise me at all. And so you think about it. And that's just for people with a license right now that have gone to the trouble of getting a you know or not or not.
But right so.
We'll see more and more of that, yeah, for sure, and you get people that and everybody says, you can't be addicted to marijuana.
I don't. I don't agree.
You can be addicted to the behavior, whether whether it's an addictive drug or not. You can be addicted to being high all the time.
What did George Carlin say, I've been smoking weed twenty years. I'm not hooked exactly.
So yeah, so when people just with any addictive behavior, gambling, drinking, any of that stuff, people will go out and do bad things to get it.
Yep.
So that's kind of what it boils down to.
All right. When we come back, I told you earlier this week, I wanted to get JD's thoughts on the Ashley Babbitt case, and we're going to talk about that next.
JD Johnson of the Talent Training Group with us. We're doing personal defense here and just looking at a few different cases, some things that, for example, Amendment three, you're going to vote on, folks, and I'm you know, I'm already pushing lawmakers to put some guidelines out there if this thing passes, but I hope a doesn't Amendment three. But earlier in the week, we talked about Ashley Babbitt.
She was the Air Force veteran that was at January sixth that you know, obviously made the mistake of going to the Capitol because it was a mistake to go inside the building even if the doors were opened up by security and Capitol Police and all that. And we could spend an entire show talking about all of that. But the wrongful death lawsuit JD five by her family and estate has been pushed to July of twenty twenty six.
So I want to zero back in on the actions of Capitol Police Captain Michael Byrd, who was in charge at that time, being the ranking officer. While the proceedings were happening at the Senate, they shut them all down, they were evacuating everybody. But she comes through a opening in the where a piece of glass was and her hands were exposed, there was nothing in them, and he shot and killed her, and the video shows it. Everyone that wants to see it can see it. Let's talk about what he did wrong.
Well, unlike in the military, in a military setting, or unlike a let's just say a prison setting where you have a fence or a perimeter that you know you've got Nulan convicted, felling bad guys living inside that fence. You know the corrections. Guys can draw a line in the sand and say, okay, anybody comes past this point, gets on that fence, starts climb over the fen and it steadily forces authorized for them, you know, an escape attempt.
In the military, you have a zone or an area or whatever, this is Okay, anybody that comes across this, comes across this area right here, where it's properly posted and marked and lined off or whatever. We're not gonna let the enemy progress back past this point. That's a military situation, Saville law enforcement.
There.
I can't imagine any anything where you can draw a where it's okay to draw a line in the sand or say okay if they come through this door, unless they're armed, unless they're obviously armed and committing an assault.
But that goes back to the basic things we talk about time and again, right, whether it's castle doctrine or not, it's there an expectation that you are in harm's way at that point because they have a weapon.
And civilians, we can draw that line at our at the door, the window, the house, whatever, that's our house, absolutely know we can draw that line of civilians in our home or in our car. We can draw that line and go, Okay, I'm justified at this point, because the statutes say I'm.
Justified at this point.
But in law enforcement that you have to have a clear, obvious, viable, believable threat of great body harm or death to the officer or somebody else before you can use deadly force in an authorized manner.
I did not see that.
I've said, watch that video, bunches of the times, and I try to give the benefit of the doubt to the law enforcement austers because I've been one. Yeah, I was one for twenty six years, so I'm kind of always gonna give that that way.
I'm gonna I'm gonna lean that way.
I'm gonna give them that benefit of the doubt and go Okay, what were they possibly thinking? Is there any plausible explanation for this action? And I just don't see it there. Yeah, they had broken a window out and she was climbing through the window, but she's obvious was obviously unarmed. I don't know that anybody there was armed with anything other than stuff they might have picked up or whatever. You didn't have any gunshots other than that one.
Additionally, he is not heard to have issued any warning whatsoever verbally saying do not proceed, I will to shoot nothing nothing. Even if it had been justified the shooting itself, you still have to give some form of warning.
Don't you. No, not necessarily in law enforcement. If you see something happen and it is happening at the speed of life, you don't have to say stop or I'll shoot. You can just go ahead and shoot if the justification is there. Justification though, right, you still either way you have to have that. You have to have those circumstances where someone's where you're defending your life or someone else's
and that didn't happen there. I don't know how you can justify the action that the officer took based on the actions of the dead girl.
Because she was still a distance away that in a full sprint would be closed in seconds like two, but was climbing through hands, obviously with no weapon of any kind. What's your expectation going to happen here, because as of now he's been promoted.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean as a civil case can go.
You know that the burden of proof in a civil case is much less than it is in a criminal case.
So he may not be held personally liable.
I got a feeling that her estate, family whatever will probably get a big payoff from.
The government and just they'll be done with it.
It may anytime you see cases like this to me that that get put off and put off and put off.
That's just delaying the payment. You know, they're trying to.
Stall as long as they can to keep from having to give the money that they know they're going to have to probably give.
So when we come back, another story in the news, A fifteen year old Mississippi girls shot and killed her mom and bushed your stepfather and is going to spend the rest of your life in prison? But was there any way to change the outcome? We'll talk about that next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Forget to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Don't forget, We're told them, don't forget. We're just reminding them. What do you want from me?
Leave me alone?
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio Double UFLA Panama City dot Com.
A couple more segments left with J. D. Johnson of the Talent Training Group. We've been focusing on stories issues in the news, and we've got another one. This one's
just tragedy. I mean, a fifteen year old little girl in Mississippi is going to spend the rest of her life in prison because it would appear she was caught with some vaping gear in her drawer and her mom was confronting her about it, and so she Whether it was a gun that was at home or not, I don't know, but she was seen on video hiding the gun behind her back, then going to her mom's room
and shooting her multiple times and killing her. Texting her stepfather getting him to come home in response to a text from the now dead wife, and she tried to ambush him, shot him in the shoulder, wrestled to the ground. He got the gun, and so she was caught and tried and convicted. And this might come across as a quasi parenting advice segment, but jade secret life gets uncovered. Is there anything as you're thinking through this that might
have changed that outcome? At what point does a parent say, I could be in danger here with this child?
Well, it's hard to say.
Not being there in the house and knowing what the parents knew and knowing knowing what all was going on is really hard to say, you know.
I mean, the one thing I will say is if you have a if you have a child.
That's unruly, that doesn't doesn't respect you as a parent, that you're not involved in their life as a parent, they're not you know whatever else. You certainly don't need to leave guns unstored, unsecurely stored in the house. You need to know your kids and know whether or not they're prone to do things like that or stupid things.
It's just, you know, it's it's I think in today's world, we're all so busy with our face stuck in a cell phone or in a in a TV screen or a computer screen sometimes that it's it's easy to not be involved in your kids' lives. You know, it's it's it's it's almost a habitual thing. The kids are.
You know, everybody's got their face duck.
In a phone sometime, and uh, you know, we have to we have to pay attention to our kids and any kind of signal that we're you know, something's not right, the cues, Yeah, the cues and pick up on what's going on in their life. And it's you know, it's just a tragedy either way. But if she went outside the home and acquired a firearm and came back, then
you've got something different. You've got you've you know, you've got a premeditation there to do that, and that's that may may not be something that a parent can fix.
I mean, clearly there was premeditation in that she immediately texted the stepfather. She had something in her head worked out, Yeah, exactly.
So it's not like she got mad at her mom and went and got a gun out of the out of the parents closet and come back and.
It was way more, way more involved than that.
Yeah, tell me this what, because I know of circumstances where a minor child is just not willing to live under the rules of a home. We're not talking about abusive parents. We're talking about reasonable restrictions and guidance. What's a parent to do when the child is a minor. You can't put them out on the street.
I think a lot of times it's almost too late to do anything by the time they get to be fifteen or sixteen years old. If you want to establish and enforce those rules when they're young, when they're much younger than that. I think that that's the mistake that parents make, is they want to be, you know, all fun and games when the kid's little, and then all of a sudden they turn fifteen or sixteen years old
and the kid's never been disciplined for anything before. There's no pattern of there's no repeatable pattern of discipline along the way, or the discipline is not metered properly along the way. You know, you can't be too harsh on it. It's a balance, and being a parent is the toughest job on the planet. It's hard, it is, and I've got great kids and it's been not so tough for me, but I see, you know, friends that, but it's still the toughest job on the planet that we have to do.
Absolutely right in those formative years with kids, and you know, it's just sometimes bad things happen, and that's one of those situations where it's just a tragedy.
There's no other way around it.
We're going to talk about what if that surrounds that story. We don't know if the weapon was the firearm was used inside the home, was in the home, we don't know, but we're going to talk about, well what if it was. Next final segment here J D. Johnson. Remember Talent Outdoors on Saturdays, and don't forget the Talent Training Group, Talentrange
dot Com and Great Training. Great Range, by the way, that's where you go shoot, because that's you're not going to be in front of a bunch of people where it potentially gets kind of unsafe because you don't know what you're around, individuals shooting bays anything more. I want to promote there because you guys have a great range. No, we're good, that's good.
I have a I do have a thing on the skeet field. Probably gonna be down. Hopefully I'll have it back up and running by neck by this weekend. But we're got flood, the rivers out of the banks, and yeah, I'm on the property out there for the skeet field, so that one facilities down. Everything else is just fine sporting clays. The rest of the range is good.
But what's the difference between skeet and sporting clays.
Well, you basically have three different shooting sports involving clay targets, shooting moving clay targets. You have skeet that is a sanctioned, measured skeid is the same everywhere. There's different games you can play with skeet, but skeet is the same as an Olympic sport.
What'd you and I do that day? I don't know.
We choose keeter, we shoot sporting clays.
Well that's I don't know. But you laughed at me a lot.
Oh okay, I'll do that with my friends.
Yeah, every reason too. Now, the idea of Preston is to shoot the target.
So uh yeah, the skeet fields or you have a you have two machines high house, low house, you rotate around a semicircle and shoot from different positions. Trap is also you got five different positions, but the bird's always going away from you. Yeah that's what we do, Okay, that's trap Okay, that's my least favorite.
Uh, I could see why as bad as I was.
Trap's kind of boring to me. Okay, Sporting Clays is my favorite. That is golf with the shotgun, so you can.
I'd probably be better at that. Maybe I don't know, it's much harder. Never mind, forget it.
That Sporting Claye is a you got twelve different or depending on where you're at, it's all different.
It's always different.
We even change the course up pretty regularly on the Sporting Clays.
So all right, all right, a lot of fun. Let's go back to this final, you know story we were talking about, and what are the best ways to secure a firearm. That makes sense because so many people are advocating have your firearm without any issue in it, and that's just stupid to me.
Yeah, it's like having a guard dog that doesn't have any teeth.
Right, So.
You have to once again, for kids, you have to know your kids. You have to take the mystery away from the firearm with your kids. Start teaching them if you're going to have firearms in the house, start teaching your kids at an early age the safety and the danger of firearms if they're not handled properly.
What's the youngest you'll allow a child with a parent at talent.
I let the parents make that decision because they know their children better. My kids all started around five or six years old, very controlled environment guns designed four kids basically that to learn with that. Don't shoot multiple rounds, you know, you know that, don't have a single shot basically something or just loading one round at a time in a gun, so that once that rounds fired, the gun safe and again.
But starting with like a BB gun or Palaiclarly twenty two or something like.
That, exactly exactly. There's a company, a couple of different companies that make them. They make little junior single shot rifles. Crickets. Uh Savage makes one. I can't remember what it's called, but anyway, there's some some they're tiny. They're too small for you and I to even shoot, right. I mean,
they're so small. And I started the kids on that, so they have that respect and understanding the biggest thing is if if you're not using the gun or getting ready to use a gun, it's not part of your home defence plan, get a safe lock it up.
You know.
When the when our kids were young, we tended to put guns in places where they couldn't see them, they couldn't climb.
To them, couldn't get to them.
Yeah.
Uh, you know, my wife and I both been in law enforcement. There's always guns around the house because we're not gonna you know, we we always had a gun belt, a duty belt, and my kids kids when they're young can't necessarily even operate the security holsters to get the gun out of the holster, but as they grow older you need to really stay on top of them. Now,
we behave very differently at our home. If if our girls are having our kids having friends over, we have to behave very differently and make sure everything's put away, locked up, unloaded, blah blah blah. And then every you know, kids are going and from everything goes back. So all right, thanks for the time, enjoy it. Jad Johnson with US Talent Training Group.
Remember Talent Outdoors weekend Saturday on this fine radio station. Yes, even in Panama City. If you are a fan of American Pickers on the History Channel, you probably know this, but perhaps you don't. Frank Fritz has passed away at the age of just sixty. Frankie has died. He and Mike Wolfe were the originators of the program, and a lot has been made of kind of the fallout between
the two of them. Mike, you know, publicly stating that he really wanted Frank back on the show at some point, but you know that there were personal issues that Frank was dealing with. I don't know. He passed away on the thirtieth of September. He filmed American Pickers for over a decade. I found I find the show fun and fascinating, although I know that like all TV reality shows, it's
it's stage to a large extent. I mean, clearly the guys know where they're going the when they just show up somewhere, you know they've scouted it out before, you know. I mean there's a degree of that, But just the stuff they find and the history behind it was always interesting to me still is. I'm a big fan of the show for that reason. I just old junk man, flea markets and people's addicts. It's why I guess I have a fascination with auctions because I was interested in
this stuff as well. I'm interested in just like what was it the Antiques Roadshow on PBS. I think that's a great show. People bring stuff and then some expert tells them all about it and puts evaluation on it. It's not really the buying and selling and horse trading that you see on American Pickers or any other show like it. But anyway, Yeah, Frank Fritz passed away just sixty. That's very sad and yeah, nothing like any of the show on a bummer note. Huh. Brought to you by
Barono Heating and Air. It's the morning show on WFLA. Yeah, sorry about that. I try to end with something a little bit up, but this was the only place I could fit that story in. So anyway, we started the program Proverbs four twenty three. If you're interested, that's where we began the radio program. You can check out the whole devotional at the very beginning of the podcast. It's really easy. Just go check out that portion of it. Right at the front, we talked about the Iranian attack
on Israel, pointing out the distinction. Israel does highly precise attacks on terrorists and military targets. Iran Hesblahamas, they shoot at civilians. I really don't think it needs to be any more complex than that. To understand who are the good guys? I don't. You can accuse me all day long of trying to be over simplistic, but simple sometimes does the best job of explaining, and that does the best job of explaining. It certainly explains where I'm coming from.
Go get them, Go get them, kill them all, Kill all the terrorists, Kill all the people that are ordering these attacks on civilians. Go get them. Talked about the presidential debate that was the sorry vice presidential debate. A few of the takeaways. Nothing real earth shattering that happened. They were civil, which is refreshing. I guess I'm gonna watch it in its entirety later today, but I listened to I checked out some of the media reporting on it,
checked some key moments. Jd. Vance was spectacular. Tim Walls was better than I expected, but not very good and just tells you the low bar he had to cover. Tomorrow a history lesson from a very unusual source. We've also got a little help for your four legged friends. We'll take out a road trip, give you an idea there, and the latest from Talass reports, and of course everything else that goes on till then. Friends, Thanks for listening.
