Morning friends, stormy day, stormy start to the day. Weather got delayed a little bit from coming in, but it's here, and there have been tornado watches and warnings throughout the region all morning long, and by morning meaning something my brother used to say, it's not late until eleven fifty nine and after that it's early. So since since we hit Wednesday, we've had tumultuous weather. So it's one of those days where there could be interruptions to the broadcast
that we know nothing about. Just understand that the emergency alert system does supersede anything that I might have to say. I will do my very best to keep you aware of any alerts that we are receiving from the National
Weather Service in the region. But a lot of the worst of it is through Gulf County and out of that region and is pushing through to the west, sorry to the east and north, and so we're going to have the potential for damaging gusts and tornado activity until around midday, So just kind of keep your eye on what's going on weatherwise, and drive accordingly, take a little extra time, and be aware that we can be interrupted and appropriately would be interrupted for weather events should they
be warranted. We start with scripture, and so two Timothy three it says, beginning in verse twelve running through verse seventeen, Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. All will be persecuted. If you're trying to live a life that represents Christ, you will face difficulty, while evil people and impostors will go on
from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for true and righteousness, that the Man of God may be
complete and equipped for every good work. Are you acquainted with God's word? I'll just let that sit there for a second and marinate for just a little while. Are you able to allow God's word to speak to each and every area of your life to address the shortcomings? Because he does. Scripture speaks to every aspect of our life. Do you spend any time in it? Are you able to test and approve? This is how you you sustain yourself through those persecutions, is by knowing the promises of God.
All right, today on the program, J. D. Johnson will join us in the third hour. I have posted on my blog page the Governor's State of the State. I have a separate post on the President's addressed to the Nation, his message to Congress and to you and I. It was exactly what was predicted. We will share. I will share what I think is the best moment of the entire one hour and forty minute, the longest presidential address to Congress in history. Democrats had to sit through it.
Oh God, they were dying when heroes we're being discussed. Democrats stayed seated. A Democrat had to be escorted out by the sergeant of arms. Democrats were holding signs being petulant children. Oh it was brilliant theater and you need to see it all for yourself on my blog page at WFLA FM dot com or WFLA Panama City dot com. Slash preston.
Those serving communities as law enforcement officers and first responders I say.
You are all essential workers.
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All right, peeking inside the American Patriots Almanac. Here there's Jose in Studio one A. I am here in Studio one B. And it is show fifty three to twenty nine of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's take a peek here. Seventeen seventy British soldiers fire on colonists was known as the Boston Massacre. This story is brilliantly shown and told in the mini series John Adams. It was an HBO mini series. I think Tom Hanks was
the executive producer. It is brilliant. Paul Jamondi plays John Adams, Laura Lennie Abigail Adams. It is brilliant. It is a brilliant mini series based on the book by David McCullough. In fact, the book won a Poolitzer Prize, and so I highly recommend you can probably find the entire set of DVDs on that for twenty bucks. And I highly recommend it is a tremendous look at the birthing of
our nation through the eyes of one founding father. Nineteen thirty three Fdr declares a bank holiday, closing US banks for four days to keep panic depositors from withdrawing all their money. Nineteen forty six, in a speech to Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Winston Churchill declares that an iron curtain has fallen across Eastern Europe, trapping millions behind it in communist states, and it would finally fall under Ronald Reagan.
Mister Gorbachev, tear down that wall. It's one of the few little things I can do that sound a little bit like the person I'm mimicking. Country music star Patsy Klein dies in a plane crash near Camden, Tennessee, on this date in nineteen sixty three. It is this is good stuff. Now National Cheese Doodle Day. Let me tell you something. You put a bag of those things nearby, and Buddy, I got those little cheetle crusty things on
my fingers. The evidence is overwhelming. Who's been nevermind Preston, Yeah, just everywhere. It is National Multiple Personality Day. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but wait, no, actually I like it. No, I know, I don't. I think I'm gonna pout now. I'm gonna celebrate in today's ash Wednesday. Okay, can I just can I just nudge a little bit here to all of you that are going to go to services and have ashes placed on your forehead the sign of the Cross. If you didn't, would people watch
you and determine you're a Christian? If that's a thing, do your thing. I'm just asking the other three hundred and sixty four days this year when you didn't have ashes on your forehead. And I'm not saying being perfect, in fact, in our imperfections are great opportunities to show the power of God at work in our life by correcting those wrongs, because we all fall short. I'm just I'm nudging. You've got the ashes that mark you as a Christian? What marks you as a Christian the rest
of the year. What are the figurative ashes that reveal you being a follower of Christ. See, I think it's easy to kind of wear that piety and that's fine again, but to me, it's only fine if you are revealed as a Christian the rest of the time. Just something to think about. Sixteen past the hourum, when we come back, I'm going to introduce you to a water bear. Yeah, thanks for calling in Jonathan. I'm aware of the purposes of the ashes. The liturgy of that is well known.
It is a mark of our sin. It is also a reminder of our returning to dust mortality, if you will, and it symbolizes these things. I'm still it doesn't change or alter though, the larger issue that I'm asking. It's like Fox and Friends is about to share an interview with Mark Wahlberg, who is marked for ash Wednesday, and
that's again, that's fine. I'm just wanting to prod everybody that calls himself a Christian to look deep and say, if you weren't marked today, would people know you're a Christian? And if so, awesome? And if not, there's something to work on. And it's not about being perfect. None of us are good. Grief. I'm the furthest thing from well, maybe not the furthest I have a cousin who but Ah, you get my point. Let the Holy Spirit guide you
in this. As a as a fellow believer, our job, my job in part, is to be part of that process of holding each other accountable to that which we have had entrusted us, the Holy Spirit, the gift of salvation and grace and mercy. I had someone once share with me years ago that a Christian is simply one beggar showing another beggar where they found bread. Nothing real lofty in that, right, all right? Water bears, Jose blew me away, he said to me, the break I used
to be a man of science. You know. Water bears are also known as moss piglets, and they are microscopic tartar grades. Here's what's cool they have discovered. First of all, these things are like I mean, they're little microscopic little legs and everything. Right, They're a little they're they're just the kiddest little things under a microscope. They they can live on a mountaintop, they can live in moss, they can live in sand dunes, they can live underwater, they
can live in the vacuum of space. What's significant, and what is a remarkable discovery, is that they produce a protein suppressor called the sup dsup, and testing has shown that these proteins can protect tissue where radiation is going on to treat cancers. One of the big problems with radiation is anyone who's undergone it knows and knows this very all too well, is the damage it does to the area around it. These proteins are showing an ability
to protect everything around it. They're experimenting with the possibility of loading up astronauts with these proteins, so when they go to space and they're dealing with radiation, they're protected. But the real breakthrough here is treating cancer patients so that radiation becomes far more effective without damaging healthy tissue and organs. So these little.
Animals called water bears, they could be very important to treatments down the road. Just saying, cute little guys, little moss piglets.
Anyway, microscopic tartar grade t A R d I g r ad E tart de grade tartar grade, that's what they're called. And if you see an image of them, you'll go, oh, those little sightless things because they just they look like little they look like the larva of like a grubworm or something. That's what they look like. Only did need Denny Anyway, there you go, twenty seven past the hour. All right, the address of Trump coming up.
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All right, let's do this so let it be known. Tuesday, March fourth, with the State of the State Address by sitting Governor Ronda Santis in Florida. Totally different dynamics. Yeah, there's a little maneuvering going on there, little tug of war, but it's I mean, it's a super majority for Republicans
in Florida's legislature and stuff gets done. Then you have the President's Addressed to the Nation and Congress, where Democrats did exactly what was predicted, even though many of them were begging, they're fellow Democrats to not make a spectacle of things because it just plays into Trump's hands. Here's a bigger reality. It's not about playing into Trump's hands. It destroys them nationally. The optics of this are almost almost rest in peace Democrat Party because they looked just
totally and completely childish. Trump's speech was an hour and forty minutes. That's a long speech. That's too long. In my opinion, that's too long by an hour, honestly, thirty to forty five minutes. I think it can all get done and said, and you just rocket man, you just go. But I have a very different view of how these types of things ought to be done. Public speaking is something that I've done literally since high school, and I
have a different view. It doesn't mean that I'm right, It's just I have a different view of how this type of thing ought to happen. I wouldn't have I wouldn't have even shaken hands, shook hands with everybody as I walked in. I would have walked right to the front. I'd have gone right after it. I would not have waited. I would have said, we have business to do, I have no time to waste. Da da da da da, and gone right at it with great humility. Trump's a
little different. Sergeant at arms had to escort Democrat Representative Al Green out of the chambers. He refused to follow decorum. He was disruptive, and they had him removed. He's fine with that. He has already filed articles of impeachment because he is claiming that Trump is part of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Trump honored and noted some very significant stories as guests of his He honored the lives of Lake and Riley and Joscelyn Nungary. Nungary he named a wild
National Wildlife Refuge after her across Galveston Bay. She lived in Houston. We won't go into the details of how she died illegal immigrants, just like Lake and Riley. More to say about that. Tomorrow he had January Little John as a guest. She sat between the Vice President's wife and the first lady. We'll talk to January tomorrow on the program about the entire event and what's gone on.
January has been a guest on this show. A local school here in Tallahassee attempted to help her daughter transition change genders without parental knowledge or consent. She found out about it. Her daughter's fine. We're now a few years out from that. But this kind of crap is going on. Trump announced that the terrorists behind the death of thirteen members of the United States military behind Abby Gate, the man behind that attack in Afghanistan has been caught and
arrested and is now facing US justice. Pakistan actually helped. Now why would Pakistan? Oh that's right, there's somebody different in the White House. And probably the high water mark of the entire night was a thirteen year old boy, DJ Daniel Lose, a cancer survivor. He stole the show. He had brain cancer diagnosed in twenty eighteen. Doctors gave him five months to live. That was six years ago. He was presented with an honorary badge as a Secret
Service agent. He hugged the Secret Service director. It was brilliant standing ovation. Most of the crowds stood up for the heroes that were greeted, but a lot of Democrats remain seated. There's more. Forty one minutes after the hour, CNN, MSNBC, all the media outlets are showing a bitter reality. Trump is hitting the right notes. The polling on for example, Ukraine,
they thought it was a disaster. What happen Friday? Polling that CNN rolled out showed Biden in twenty twenty four was minus twenty two on the war with you between Russia and Ukraine. His handling of it minus twenty two. Trump is plus two twenty four points, and in the positive more people think Trump is handling this properly. Get your mind around that. That's significant. Democrats don't know what
to do. Trump acknowledged it in his address. I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there's absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy, or to make them stand or smile or applaud. That's some of what I would be doing, and I think that's brilliant point out. As Americans are in full support of Doge, they're holding up signs saying musk stole, what
what kind of disconnector you? And it's and it was in the speech that the the Democrats rolled out in response, the rebuttal speech, the signs and all that that you know things around here, things have changed. Yeah, you're darn right they have. We're celebrating it. I'm gonna have more on that in just a little bit, but I want you to hear what I think was the single best moment in an hour and forty minutes. Now. You can watch the whole speech on my blog page. I've got
it all there. You can see all the pomp and circumstance, all the drama, all the pettiness. You can see it all. But this was the best moment of the night to me.
Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded. Thank you.
Just wait here. It comes standing ovation from half the room and about everybody in the gallery up above. But just listen to what's coming.
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.
We must have.
Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that they really needed was a new president.
Boom mic drop. That was absolutely and the place. Obviously, Democrats are just they are sucking lemons at this point. They are all their faces are all contorted. They don't know what to do. It turns out all we needed was a new president. Brilliant, brilliant. Peyton McNabb was there. She's this seventeen year old that had a volleyball spiked in her face in a high school match by a male opponent so hard she lost consciousness. She was left with brain damage and paralysis on the right side of
her body. What was a dream of playing volleyball in college was snatched and taken from her. And that spike was on the highlight reel of the player for recruiting. He highlighted it, his coach highlighted it. Personally, I think it's assault, and I think it's a crime. Anyway, forty six minutes past the hour, you can see the speech. You can see the governor's speech on my blog page. I'd shared some of the numbers on how polling is showing Trump is significantly better received in how he's dealing
with Ukraine. Carolyn Levitt, the White House Press Secretary, addressed this Democrats yesterday trying to make an issue out of something where we should be united in how we approach anything that deals with war and the potential of Americans being drawn into it, and she pointed out that President Zelensky just was not prepared to make peace. Trump talked about that. So what did Trump do yesterday? He cut off money, He didn't stop it. This is an important distinction.
He paused it. And what happened yesterday afternoon, Zelensky posted the following. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to
get a piece that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky, been on missiles, long range drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure, and truce in the sea immediately. If Russia will do the same, then We want to move very fast through all the next stages and to work with the United States to agree a strong final deal.
He stated that he and his team, do you really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence, that they remember the moment when things change, when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelin's Javelin missiles. We are grateful for this. He referenced the meeting that didn't go very well. He said, it did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable
that it happened this way. He said, they're ready to sign the agreement that would allow the United States to access Ukraine's mineral deposit in exchange for security. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively. The statement came after Trump paused money. This is the difference. It's not just policy and philosophical differences between this president
and his predecessor, who was not the president ever. He was the resident, and some of you really took issue with me diminishing his role in his place in the office. He was not ever the president. I don't believe for a second he was ever legally elected as the president. He was installed in the office, but he acted as nothing more than a resident. Barack Obama's been the acting president.
Obama's people have been the acting presidents. But this is what happens when you have decisiveness and you have purpose behind your decision making. Now, when I come back, I'm gonna share something that was shared with me that brings a lot of the last few months into focus in a different way. My friends, five past the hour, and it's Wednesday, kind of a tumultuous day outside weather wise, so just keep yourself aware that we are in some rocky weather. There's there's the chance that we will be
interrupted throughout the broadcast this morning. We're gonna get some gusty winds throughout the region through tonight wind advisory till this evening seven o'clock Eastern, six o'clock Central, with wind gus from forty to forty five miles an hour, And there's there's the possibility of severe weather popping up and tornado warnings popping up. Remember a tornado watch, there's there's weather that could lead to a warning. Warning means there's
a funnel cloud or a tornado. So just be advised if we are interrupted, we don't know that we're being interrupted. We're just going to keep rocking along here, all right, So just take your time. Now. This is I'm going to read something here. It was shared with me by a good friend. And the article is written by It's actually an opinion piece written by Jeffrey Tucker with Brownstone dot org. And it's titled the Party is Over. And this is just a I'm not subscribing and saying yes
I agree. I'm not saying I disagree. This is just an outside observation of everything that's going on, and I thought it was worth sharing. The Trump administry and this is dated a couple of weeks ago. The Trumpet minusta stuation pushed by the government of the Department of Government Efficiency and deployed by the Office of Personnel Management, has sent another emailed all federal employees with a normal request to present five tasks accomplished in the last week. It's
an easy task. It takes five minutes. In the service industry, this is entirely normal, even routine taking inventory of the workforces, standard for any new management in the private sector. Oddly, absolute mania broke out among the pundit class. Government unions are preparing lawsuits. The panic and frenzy is palpable. As it turns out, no new president has ever done anything like this before, no Democrat who believes in good government,
and no Republican who supposedly distrusts bureaucracy. Something dramatic has hit Washington. It's about more than Trump, the party now in control of the US. This executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two existing parties. It goes by the name Republican, but it is nearly a historical accident. The GOP was a vessel that was least protected against invasion and occupation. It has now been nearly taken over by outsiders who had little or no
influence within the party a decade ago. Nearly all the top people now in power, including Trump, of course, but also Musk, Gabbard, Kennedy, Lutnik, and so many more, to say nothing of the voters themselves are refugees from the Democrat Party. Coalitions have dramatically changed, voting blocks have migrated, and policy debates and priorities are nothing like they have been in any period since the end of the Great War,
which by the way, is World War One. The occupiers left a Democratic Party that was and is busy consuming itself with Russoian frenzies on issues about which most people don't care. Are otherwise completely opposed. The legacy establishment of the Republican Party, however, never welcomed them in. They were
hated and resisted at every step. To understand this remarkable speed and trajectory of the creation of a third party within the structure of two, consider that it was not even two years ago when Robert F. Kennedy Junior was contemplating running for president as a Democrat in twenty twenty three. President Biden was unpopular, not even credible as the chief executive,
much less a candidate for a second term. The thinking in the Kennedy camp at the time was that a run by Kennedy for the Democrat nomination would force an open primary, and he could lead the party back to its roots, away from total woke totalitarianism, toward the political values of his father and uncle. In theory, all of this seemed plausible. His first rallies were crowded events, and the money poured in volunteers were signing up to work
for the campaign. The first ads that appeared were nostalgic of a lost time in America, before the shattering of civil culture, of civic culture that came with the assassination of his uncle in nineteen sixty three. The framing and even music of his campaign reflected such themes. We'll pick up there ten past the hour, is there a third party that has in fact taken over? More to come ten past? It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Now see if I can find the piece and put it on our X page. It's the party is over Brownstone dot Org, written by Jeffrey Tucker. He's almost two weeks old, and so we've just chronicled kind of where things are and where they were, and he writes that's where matters stood.
Only two years ago. When it became obvious that there would be no open primary, Kennedy was tempted by the lure of an independent run. The most immediate problem of gaining ballid access hit hard. The system, after all, is set up for two parties only, and they want no competition unless such an effort works as a spoiler that was not obvious with Kennedy. He drew equally from both sides,
so everyone with power wanted him excluded. In the Kennedy case, it meant that no matter how much people loved him, they would end up either supporting Biden or Trump regardless. We talked about that, We talked about that ad endlessly. Here on the show, Tucker goes on to say, it so happened that over the summer this logic was pressing itself heavily on the Kennedy campaign, even as Trump faced astonishing levels of deep state lawfare, plus an assassination attempt
which conjured up deep family trauma in Kennedy. This provoked some discussions between the two that resulted in a historic realignment in politics. During these discussions, Trump was frank about what happened during COVID. He had been lied to by his bureaucracy, the experts who had been assigned to him to say that this virus was a bioweapon with a
possible cure in the form of a new vaccine. With great reluctance and only for a limited time did he approve what everyone, now including family members and conservative public depundits, was telling him to do. As for warp speed, Trump had always considered it to be an aggressive push for a solution. International and domestic resources named hydroxychloroquin as a workable therapeutic, and so he ordered it for mass distribution.
It was essentially inconceivable in those days that the deeper bureaucracy would not only remove it and other repurposed drugs from distribution, but even generate fake studies warning against them, all in an effort to push a new pharmaceutical product. Trump was surely astonished to see these events unfold in a manner that he could not control. In that connection, both Trump and RFK Junior agreed on the dangers to American health from a variety of sources, including that emanating
from overuse of pharmaceuticals. Trump learned from Kennedy's expertise on the matter, and they experienced a meeting of minds, and not only on this, but on the evils of captured agencies, censorship, and deep state manipulation of public culture in general. It goes on. The article goes on to talk about the migration of musk of Tulsey Gabbard both form Democrats. Donald Trump himself has undergone his own migration as an industrial mercantilist.
From his earliest public statements, he gradually absorbed a de facto anti statism once his ill fated first term was subverted from within, and then he faced unprecedented lawfair and even assassination attempts to stop his second term. When he told the Libertarian Party that this lawfair made him libertarian in spirit, he was being truthful. Once it became personal, the new head of state effectively turned against the state and all its works. Maga Maha, make America healthy again.
Doje is not exactly the catchiest name for the new ruling party, but it is far more accurate than Republican, much less than Democrat. It is a party, new party formed out of the discredited shells of the two existing parties that lost public trust over decades of misrule, culminating in an ill fated attempt to master the exigencies of the microbial kingdom. And it goes on from there. I
think it's worth reading. Jeffrey Tucker's founder, author, president at Brownstone Institute, senior economics columnists for Epic Times, and he's
the author of the piece The Party Is Over. It's an interesting perspective that while we weren't even aware of it, what has formed in the executive of this nation is in fact a third party, frankly taking the best of what conservatism is really supposed to be all about, with a few exceptions for example, the budget, the deficit, and the debt, but generally speaking moving in a direction that is straight line conservative. Just thought you'd be interested to
see that sixteen past the hour or hear that. You can check it out This morning show with Preston Scott, Jade Johnson Personal Defense next hour. Got a lot of ground we're going to try to cover. He doesn't know that yet till now. He's probably listening, going, wait, what are we doing? Got a Florida Man segment still to come this hour, and if you missed, I'm going to play the high water mark of the President's address, which was just mic dropping brilliance. You're gonna get the predictable
responses out there. Let me detour and share this story as a public service. Now, most of you know my feelings on smoking. Obviously, it's disastrous for you, It's terrible for your health. If it were up to me, I would be seeking legislation that mandated that you could only smoke in your home or in your car, that you could not smoke anywhere out where there's anybody else, Because I don't think I or anyone in my family, my children and my grandchildren, I don't think any of us
should have to smell your smoke. Secondhand smoke is a problem. It stinks. As much as I love the smell of a good cigar and a pipe, I'm perfectly content never smelling those things again. If we can say no more smoke in public, I can't even imagine how bad this world's going to be in Florida. If you guys legalize weed, that will be one of the biggest mistakes this state is made. It will supersede the minimum wage. But anyway, came across the story of a twenty one year old
who took up vaping. Everybody warned her about it, and within a year she had collapsed lungs and nearly died. I don't care what anybody tells you about vaping. It's a bad idea. Vaping is getting a whole new generation hooked on nicotine products because they're flavored and they're cool, and because it doesn't hit the same way that cigarette smoke does, but the addiction is still very real. There's a thing called deep and forceful inhalations that takes place
with vaping. It's where they take that electronic cigarette pipe, whatever you want to call it, and they'll and they really really strongly inhale it. Well, that's what leads to the real serious complications. She survived barely. She's now an asthmatic patient. Though she now has asthma, she'll live with that the rest of her life because she's damaged her lungs. Johns Hopkins is reporting a massive amount of young people
that are dealing with collapse lungs. The just the mechanism of smoking and vaping these products leads to damage in and of itself, let alone the carcinogens that are in the nicotine and so forth. I'm I'm just throwing it out there and I'm begging you to stop, and I'm real sorry if you're in the business. Sorry. I personally think that this is the type of thing that should be right in there and maybe will be or already is on insurance forms. I think it should it should
limit coverage of insurance policies. If you willingly expose yourself to these types of things. You're not covered for the conditions that follow. People that pay healthcare premiums should not have to pay for people making those kinds of choices. Well, but what about people that eat too much? Like you? Yeah? Good, I'm good with paying more because I weigh too many pounds. I think I do now, I'm twenty twenty five pounds too heavy. It's not like I'm, you know, fifty or
seventy five. But it doesn't really matter, now, does it. I'm just saying that if you engage in behavior that compromises your health, you shouldn't have other people have to pay for that and subsidize that. And I'm just I'm down with the smoking thing because it impacts me, It impacts my wife, it impacts my family. Your smoke impacts them. Sorry. Twenty seven Not sorry, No, I'm not I'm not sorry at all. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, come back with a big story in the press box.
Stories ins taking office, My administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieve the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded.
Thank you, Okay, standing ovation from two thirds of the room. The Democrats remain seated, sucking lemons to keep the scowl on the face.
In the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation.
We must have.
Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
And of course the Democrats are just sitting there absolutely stonefaced. They got nothing to say. And here's their problem. The majority of this country likes the direction we're going. I think most understand there will be bumps in the road. You remember the analogy that I gave you before the year ended. I said, this is like taking over a home that squatters have been in for four years and destroyed.
If you ever renovated a property, even your own home, everybody knows well there was a lot of damage there. It'll take some time. And they step back and they recognize, Oh, wow, you've reframed that part of the house that was falling down. Looks like it's going to be nice. Oh I like that. You've gotten the restroom done. That looks great. And you
see progress. You know this is a work. I think that one of the important messages here that a lot of Americans are grasping hold of is how utterly broken Joe Biden and Barack Obama and Democrat leadership have left this country as they sat there last night. Just I mean, how can you not I had several email on this in the morning. As I came in, I was reading how can you not applaud the efficiency work of DOGE? How can you not applaud finding the waste of tax dollars?
How can you not applaud a president saying we can do better in our trade deals. Yes, this could get a little but you know, there are great differences between now and those dangerous tariffs of the nineteen thirties. America, for one, is in a position to consume most of what it produces. The other reality is these tariffs are not price tariffs as much as they are drug tariffs. This is about illegal narcotics entering this country and telling Mexico and Canada to step up and do more to
stop it, and telling China stop producing this stuff. You have to ask yourself, why is China supporting this type of drug trafficking? You know, darn good and well they don't want it in their country. Well, because they want to destroy our country from within. So this is what you have to do, And so Democrats are to a certain extent, perhaps they're not saying this is terrible, They're
sort of saying, here's the tombstone on our grave. They are writing the obituary for themselves with each of these moments, because they are furthering the disconnect between themselves and Americans. And that's why they didn't want protests. They didn't want this silliness. But they know, as Trump said, there's nothing I'm going to say or do that will cause Democrats to stand, to agree, to smile, to support. There's nothing, so I won't even try. He made fun of them
all night long, forty minutes past the hour. Now you remember Jen, circle back Saki. She was fond of I'll circle back to you now. She was an outstanding press secretary. Say what you will about carrying the water for Joe Biden. First of all, that's an impossible task. I mean, it would be easier to carry around his depends than to try to carry around his policy. But I think she took solace in knowing she really wasn't carrying Joe's policies.
She was carrying the policies of Barack Obama, and that made her feel a lot better, but Jensaki was very, very credible as a press secretary. She was good at her job. However, an interesting thing is developed through Doje jens Sis. Stephanie Saki worked for a radical NGO non governmental agency that raked in millions and millions of taxpayer dollars through us AID USAID. Her sister, Stephanie Saki worked for Population Council International. USAID is listed as an official partner.
What does this council believe? In? The conferees at a conference lamented the natural selection by saving more weak lives and enabling them to reproduce. Was bad that civil society is hampered by allowing weak individuals to procreate. This is an organization that believes in eugenics. Early donors included George Soros. Later donors were the United States taxpayers. You funded this group with one hundred and forty four million dollars. Isn't
it interesting? How jen never ever disclosed that her sister was part of an organization receiving that much money. They have received this week two days ago termination notices for four grants from the United States Aid. They're not getting the money anymore, so they're going to have to rely on old George Soros for more money. George has plenty of it to give, So don't you dare worry. But
funny how these things are coming to light, isn't it. Okay, let's come back with a Florida Man story sort of as we get ready for the third hour here of the Morning Show with Preston Scott personal Defense segment. Just a little bit. JD. Johnson will be joining us. He is here in studio instead. I heard you talking about Yeah, buddy,
I've given him a heads up on what's coming. We're we're going somewhere that Unbelievably, in all the years we've done these segments, we've never we've never done what we're going to do today, and and that I'll be honest with you. I sat at my desk yesterday and I'm
thinking through, Okay, what do I want to cover. There's these stories in the news, There's this, there's that, And then all of a sudden, I came across a word and I thought, you know what, And then I started doing some googling, googling, Google and googling, and an idea hit me. And so we will deal with that coming up in just a little bit. But first, oh, it's come on, admit it. You look forward to it. Time for a Florida man story here on the Morning Show.
If you read something insane, I probably did it.
I'm fine of wood.
The block is going ahead and google my name.
Google tell man to the sins I have committed and.
We all feel better when we have somebody in the black. Come on, everybody, And in this case, once again, it is a Florida whoa man Evelina Fabyanski, eighteen years of age and a sixteen year old friend that is not named in the story, which all of a sudden starts to tip my hand a little bit. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? We have a named eighteen year old and an unnamed sixteen year old. What did they do? Well?
Evelina was a little upset with her boyfriend who broke up, and so she did what any rational eighteen year old girl would do. She got a little Crown Royal SA marijuana and a can of spray paint Yello spray paint, and she decided she was gonna tag her boyfriend's car. And so she and her friend painted and painted and painted. I'm showing JD the picture of the paint job devil black car yellow, I mean just eggs on it, you
name it. Police course arrived, the sixteen year old said I didn't have anything to do with it, and the police said, you're covered in yellow paint, young lady, And then came the news. You really need this is the police officer. You really need to try harder to be sneaky because you're god awful. You guys spray painted the wrong car. They somehow spray painted some other poor dude's
black infinity and I mean rash this car. So how is it that you are the boyfriend or the girlfriend of this dude and you don't even know what car he's driving? How is that possible? There's one explanation, Florida man. That's it. JD has another Crown Royal. Crown Royal. Okay, you've encountered a few people in your day with some Crown Royal and a little i'm guessing Crownroyal and we doesn't necessarily make for good bedfellows.
No, no, your judgment might be a little bit impaired, Oh my goodness.
So yeah, that's uh, that's it. Just doesn't get any better than that. So there's our Florida Man story here this morning on the program next hour. I'm not taking any calls. You can send an email. I can't promise that I'm going to get to it because I have a list of things that we're going to cover here today. Did you get a chance to see any of the address last night? President? Every minute of it? You watched all of it? Yes, sir? Could he have gone a little shorter? Did you enjoy the theater?
I don't generally like to hear President Trump speak.
I just don't.
I mean, Michell, last night was an entertainment at its best.
It was awesome. I you know, I'm sure you heard what I thought was the high water mark of the night. While you know, yes, the thirteen year old kid, that was awesome. And of course we had January little John sitting right between the first lady and the Vice president's wife. January will be with us on the show tomorrow. She's
local and she'll share what that experience was like. Well, so hear a little bit more about stopping schools from helping kids transition without Yeah, they have no business being involved in that anyway. It was good theater. We've got it all on my blog page. The Governor's State of the Union, State of the State. Sorry, and the President's Address to the Nation. All of it on my blog page. We come back hour three of the Morning Show with jad Johnson. If I passed the hour, it's third hour.
Turning the page, it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott Wednesday, March the fifth Show, fifty three to twenty nine. That is Jose. I'm Preston and this is JD. Johnson of the Talent Training Group and the co host of Talent Outdoors, which you can hear on the weekends on these fine radio stations. Hello, friend, how are you? I'm great? How about you? I'm doing well. I want to get right
to this because I got a list, all right. But before we get to the list and I explain all of that, you know, we talk about personal defense, and we talk about the need that sadly exists in our culture today to live in a state of awareness and to be thinking about things as you're going about your day of what could possibly happen, of situational awareness and all that. Who shouldn't own a firearm? Besides the obvious, which is the bad guys? Well, for what purpose?
I guess for self defense, correct, somebody that's not at peace with the fact that they may have to take someone's life. If you're not at peace with that possibility, then you probably don't need a firearm that.
You have for the purpose of self defense. How many times over the years, because I know that now you're not as involved in maybe the teaching of the classes out there at Talent and so forth, but in the course of your life as an instructor just dealing with people that when you were an officer or a deputy that you know you might say, hey, you really might think about getting something to protect yourself, and they say
something to you like, oh, I'm not. What are the signs that you see in people that tell you now you really shouldn't be carrying.
It's kind of hard to define that you just kind of know. I mean, it's it's one of those things where a lot of times people will actually verbalize it, I don't think I could hurt anybody, or I don't think I could, And you get deeper into that discussion with them, and I use my mom for example. She's a kind, kind hearted, gentle soul. Sure, if they're ever one that was one that walked on the earth, that's her. She was a nurse by profession, you know, she's just
a caregiver. Yeah, and all of those things and personifize that. And I don't know that my mom could necessarily defend herself in a situation, but I guarantee if she could defend her grandchildren, you know. And and we've had that discussion and a long time before, you know, and she's she's she's at peace with it as long as she's protecting somebody else.
I'm not sure she could.
She would try to talk somebody out of hurting her, but I think the standing in the shoes of another or protecting another, I think her instincts would kick in, and you know, she'd be okay in that situation.
So have you ever had someone show up at the range and maybe it's a spouse saying, you know, we need to get her, we need to get him that out of out of That happens pretty regular and you start talking to the person that's the focus and you realize they're not comfortable.
It happens a lot. It happens a lot, and you just have to kind of take them up. Sometimes you'll have to take them off to the side and just say, you know, what, what what's going on here? And and do you really want to do this? And it's something you have to want to do, and it's something that you have to be at peace with and internally, and you've had that discussion with yourself, you know, I don't have a problem with it.
Most most people don't, you say, don't have a problem with it. I don't have a.
Problem with hurting somebody if it's necessary.
Absolutely. I think there is such a thing.
I strongly believe in righteous violence, and I think that I don't think there's anything you know, biblically.
Wrong with with that violence.
I mean, you know, there's there's a lot of scripture on both sides of it, but I don't have a religious, uh belief that that would say that it's you know, absolutely never okay to take a life or two to do violence with somebody. I think I think we have that. I think we have that grant from God that says, you know that we can we can defend ourselves.
So I wanted to bring this up because there are some of you that, as we hear these discussions, you might be saying to yourself, that's just that's just not me. Well, that's okay if it's not you. Yeah, I'm not We don't judge. I'm not gonna tide you for that. That's quite all right. I Also they'll want to leave room for the fact that maybe, like we've talked about, you got introduced to firearms the wrong way and maybe you just need to be introduced the right way to them.
Absolutely, and there's people that may not be willing to defend themselves with a gun, but they may enjoy the sport. Yeah, you know, kind of like archery. You might enjoy shooting a bow. You would never shoot at an animal with it, And that's fine, that's great.
They give gold medals for that in the Olympics. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now when we come back, we're going to go where I just thought would be an interesting place to go to stick around with us.
J D.
Johnson with us of the talent training group Talanrange dot Com.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Levin passed the hour. JD. Johnson with me our personal defense segment. There's another, at least another group of people that should not have a gun. Yeah.
Uh, the more importantly than the than the first. The latter would be somebody that wants to hurt somebody that wants to go out into public, that carries a gun every day with the desire to get in the conflict and be able to hurt somebody, and those people exist.
Is it too broad to say the people that can't control their temper. Absolutely, No, that's not too broad. I mean they're not a psychopath, but they they tend to react to things in a really strong, over emotional way.
Yeah, that that loses control of loses self control very easily.
Yeah, they probably.
Shouldn't have a gun either. Most most likely they shouldn't have a gun readily available either. You know, that's a that's a huge one. I think that's probably that's the more dangerous element. You know, somebody that's not willing to hurt somebody that that has a gun probably will know never hurt anybody with it. Somebody that has a gun that has no self control, no control of their temper, and no control of their emotions is the least as the person.
I don't want to have a gun. We talked about the story and I mentioned it last week. The shooting in Panama City on two thirty one. Someone didn't like the way someone was driving and there was a little physical altercation at a stoplight. It should have ended right there with everybody driving on their own separate way, but in this case, it didn't happen, and someone ended up dead and another one seriously injured.
Yeah, and that's just that's those people that commit crimes like that and do things like that should be taken out of our society. And those are the people you're talking about. That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's precisely what I'm talking about. So yeah, I mean that's more significant than the other we had.
We've covered a lot of ground over the years with with you, Charlie and myself, And one of the things that I thought about yesterday is there's terminology. There are words inside like any other thing that we toss around and use and come across, and people just don't know what they mean. So I'm going to throw you some words and phrases, all right, and let's help people understand some of this terminology a little bit a little better.
ACP ACP stands for automatic cult Pistol, so COLT was a very innovative firearms company from from the beginning. So ACP is a is an American expression. There are the calibers that have ACP attached to it. We're most likely first chamber, first used in a cult pistol, and therefore it got the name ACP. One that comes to mind
is the three eighty ACP with small caliber. In Europe, it's called a nine millimeter KERTS for nine millimeters short, so it's the same exact cartridge nine millimeters kerts and three eighty ACP is the same cartridge. The Europeans that on the metric system they have different designations for several cult ACP cartridges that we call it one thing here and they call it something else over there.
So ACP refers to a cartridge, not necessarily a gun, correct, and that cartridge can work outside of a cult pistol. Absolutely.
The forty five is the most prevalent forty five ACP. There is a forty five COLT as well, or forty five long colt. It's called it's the same caliber, one says COLT that's typically used in a revolver. And then the ACP was a forty five automatic cult pistol.
They are not interchangeable.
They are not interchangeable unless well.
They can be.
They can be in some revolvers that will some revolve that are capable of shooting the forty five COLT. You can use a device called a moon clip. Put the forty five ACP cartridges in the moon clip to give them a rim, and they can be used in a revolt.
There are some convertibles out there, there are there are a lot of things on this list. Friends. I'm going to take a personal bet now how many we're going to get through. We'll see sixteen past the hour of JD. Johnson of the Talent Trading Group, twenty one past the hour JD. Johnson with me of the Talent Training Group.
We're going through terms, words that are inside of the firearm industry and things that you might hear, you might encounter, and we want you to have a better understanding of them. And so we've talked about ACP eleven.
Nineteen eleven is the model of nineteen eleven. It is a cult pistol. It was actually designed in about nineteen oh five. It was adopted by the US military in nineteen eleven. Semi automatic steel frame.
What makes it different from a from a different something that's not a nineteen eleven?
Well, the design, I mean, there's a lot of nineteen elevens out there on the market now, and everybody recognize them. A lot of times. The parts are even interchangeable with the original cults.
It's a system.
It's an operating system designed by John Browning that's been around for a long time, and the patent is up on it. So everybody, you know, most most manufacturers are a lot of manufacturers in the industry make nineteen eleven pistols and it's very recognizable. It's the service pistol for World War One and World War Two and Korea and Vietnam.
I had always been told by others, you guys, that nineteen elevens are not the best firearm for someone that's new to firearms.
Absolutely correct, because well, they operate their single action pistol. So that means that the hammer has to be manually cocked, either by working the slide or taking your thumb and cocking the pistol before you pull the trigger the first time. It has to be manually operated. The only way to carry it where it is absolutely ready to fight, where you draw it out of the holster and pull the trigger, is if the hammer is cocked and a safety is on.
It has a grip safety. It has a thumb safety on the side that takes a lot of training to simply remove that safety when you're in a stressful situation.
So for someone that's new to firearms, not the best first choice.
Would not be my recommendation unless you have somebody that is absolutely willing to put in the work. They're also, unfortunately the modern ones because they've tightened tolerances up. The original ones were not very accurate. They had really poor, little, thin, skinny sights on them. They were more of a point and shoe kind of gun as opposed to a gun that you use the sites on to aim. And the
original ones, the military ones were not superbly accurate. Everybody has the quest has been to make those guns accurate. The more accurate you make them, the tighter the tolerance is,
the less reliable they become. And the caution that I give to people that want a nineteen eleven is, if you want to carry a nineteen eleven and depend on you better it's kind of like riding an old Harley Davidson motorcycle, you better learn how to work on it because it's gonna There's things that are gonna wear and things that are gonna change with the gun, so you need to be able to diagnose a problem and fix it yourself, or you're gonna be spending a ton of money at a gunsmith.
Automatic versus semi automatic automatic UH.
Legally legal definition of automatic is one trigger pull can equal multiple rounds multiple rounds fired on one single trigger pull, so or you essentially can pull the trigger once and hold it down and the gun will continue to cycle and fire the weapon. That's a full auto machine gun. There's a lot of terminology for it out there. A semi automatic requires a trigger pull for one trigger pool for one shot.
Bolt action bolt.
Action is another design of firem's been around since pre nineteen hundred. It has a bolt, a device that chambers the round houses the firing pin. It's got a handle sticking out to the side, and you either push that handle up and pull it back and push it back forward to eject an empty cartridge and load a new cartridge.
Some of them are straight pull back, so you just and those have been around since pre nineteen hundred, where you just grab a hold of the bolt that's sticking out of the out of the gun and pull it straight back.
Are all hunting rifles bolt action, Nope.
You can have semi automatic, you can have bolt action, you can have breakopen, you can have lever action. There's all different kinds of hunting calibers. Is hunting rifles are more defined by caliber than they are design of the fire.
A bolt action rifle is best for.
They tend to be more accurate in the for the most part, okay, and they're best for you know, you can shoot bigger calibers in bolt action rifles than you can in most semi autos. But then again, you throw around, then you've got a Browning Maduce, the fifty caliber machine guns. So you know, there's all kind of contradictory statements there. Bolt actions are usually inherently very accurate because you've got fewer moving parts than you do in a semi auto.
If you answer this one with my name, you'll hurt my heart.
Bore it's the diameter of the hole that goes down the middle of the barrel. The hole in the barrel is the considered the bore. Okay, And that is relevant to caliber.
Yes, gauge. If you're talking about shotguns, how does choke factor into that.
Chokes are for shotguns, They constrict the bore, usually at the end of the barrel, right about the time where the pellets come out. It's a constriction of the bore that causes the gun to pattern smaller or larger, depending on what you're trying to do.
There we go. We got more to talk about with J. D. Johnson of the Talent Training Group Personal Defense on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven to wed UFLA.
This is a fun game we're playing here this morning. Know your terms. JD. Johnson with me of the Talent Training Group, and we're talking about terms, phrases, things that are commonplace that if you know, if you are one of those gun people, you know this stuff. I get it, but most people don't. And I don't think that most have a real comfortable understanding of some of this stuff. So we're talking over some terms and things with somebody that does know and understand this stuff. And we talked
about bore. What is breach.
That's the end of the barrel, that the that the cartridge goes in, essentially chamber breach, that's the the end you load the cartridge in.
Are are the words breach and chamber interchangeable more or less?
Yeah?
Yeah, okay, all right.
Cylinder uh term used for a revolver. Primarily it's the round part of the revolver that sits inside the frame where the cartridges go into that turns around.
That turns around and spins a little bit. Yeah. Double versus single action.
Double action is a firearm that when you pull the trigger, you're you're doing two things. You're cocking the firearm and then and at the end of the double action trigger pool, you release the hammer. So you're cocking the hammer and releasing the hammer. With the trigger pool single action, you have to manually cock it. Or when the semi auto semi auto pistol that when it operates and ejects the cartridge and loads a new one, the hammer stays back.
And this single action of pulling the trigger the one act, or when you pull the trigger, it does one thing. It releases the hammer.
When a revolver is hammerless, other than the obvious that you don't see the hammer outside the gun. What does that mean?
Exactly what you just said. You can't see the hammer. You can't see the hammer outside the gun. That hammer is not exposed.
Is that a double action gun always always a double action gun. Firing pin.
Firing pin is the part of a firearm that strikes the primer.
It's shaped like a pin or a needle.
Looks bigger than that obviously, but it's the part that strikes the primer to ignite the cartridge. Fouled or fouling, Uh, it's the the carbon lead or other material left behind in the boar or the chamber or after firing the gun you have. When gas or anything burns, there is a carbon emission, uh, and that carbon sticks to things and gets left behind it. Fouling can also be caused by lead coming off of the bullet, plastic coming off of a residue.
Yeah, okay, And that and trash and that's and that's what we have to clean. That's what you can out of our firearms. Okay, we talked about a hammer. A magazine.
Magazine is a box, for lack of a better term, it's a box and that holds cartridges.
It's different from a clip.
There is such thing as a clip, But a magazine's most semi automatic pistols. That and a lot of the semi automatic rifles that we have in our world to are fed. The cartridges are contained in any magazine.
I'm gonna get to two. I'm gonna combine two into one here because I think that a lot of people don't understand the distinction between a take up and a trigger reset. Okay, what's the difference.
Uh, take up would be as you're starting a trigger pool, you have a little bit of slop in there or a distance of movement of the trigger before anything happens. That's that that take up until you start to feel tension or you get to a point in the trigger pool that it's about to release the hammer or whatever. So that's your take up.
You're feeling some kind of resistance, right, Okay.
So when that trigger travels all the way to its fullest travel at the rear and you release it, usually the the reset is somewhere in between the trigger at its full extension back to its original position and the end of it on the other end where the gun actually fires. So you most guns have a reset point where you can feel a click or hear a click, or there's a distance a partial distance all the way to the front that the the trigger will reset itself.
Is it true that if you learn the reset and how to properly acknowledge it or recognize it that you can be quicker and more accurate.
Absolutely, so you're not having to pull the trigger as far there's less movement. Anytime you can take movement out of what's going on when a gun's being fired, the more accurate you're going to be.
So learning to find the reset on your trigger could be very helpful to someone learning to shoot.
Yes, especially on the modern Striker fired guns. Striker's a firing pin. So anyway, there you go.
See look at that. Look at all we're learning here today. When we come back, I think it's one of the one of the biggest mysteries to most people that are not initiated into the gun world. And talk about that.
Next, this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
He is JD. Johnson, co founder of the talent training group Talent out Doors, co host and more importantly than all of that, our friend here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, and we're talking about guns and terms and now I said, I think this is a mystery to a lot of people. I think a lot of people that are new to firearms, that are not hunters that didn't grow up learning about this really don't understand what we're talking about when we talk about because I
don't fully understand it JD. The difference between I mean, I know there's a difference between buckshot and bird shot, so let's start there. The obvious difference is.
Size size of the pillots.
So birdshot's designed to shoot birds.
Bird shot is designed to shoot birds or clay targets clay birds.
Okay.
The the pellet size of shotgun shells, that's how they There are several expressions. When you look at a box of shotgun shells, you'll see the gauge, which is the size of the shell, the size of the bore of the gun that it goes.
A four, ten, twenty twelve for the most twenty.
Eight, yeah, sixteen, Yeah, there's other ones. But so you have the gauge, and then you have the pellet size will be you know about the smallest pellet, I know anything about the size twelve. You don't see them very much. What you standard The smallest size that you see most often is number eights or seven and a half, and
that is the size of the actual pellets. And there's hundreds in a twelve gauge bird shot shell there are hundreds, like three hundred and fifty, three hundred and sixty, whatever the number is.
I don't know.
There's somebody, I'm sure out there that say, with one ounce of number eight shot, there's that many, three hundred and however many.
Shells in it.
There are pellets in there, So you got three hundred plus little tiny pellets that are smaller than a uppercorn. They're they're tiny. They come out in a pattern, and it gives you more opportunity to break the clay target.
Not necessarily the best for bird hunting because you're picking it out of your bird, right. Well, no, that is what you have if you want to kill the bird.
Yeah, I mean, so you want that many little pellets you got to deal with, Yeah, because you're probably only gonna hit the bird with If the bird is thirty yards away or twenty five yards away, you're probably gonna only hit the bird with eight or ten of.
Them the most.
Sometimes they'll pass all the way through, so you're you do have to pick it out. I mean, you do have to occasionally pick your shot out. I've probably swallowed enough of it in my life to give me lead poisonous.
But anyway, uh so you sets off the detectors at the at the walkthrough is at the airport.
So number eight is tiny, and then it goes all the way up through number triple b BBB, okay, and that's all of that is considered bird shot BBB is what you would shoot goose, goose and ducks. With a bigger pellet, there may only be let's just say, if there's four hundred and I'm just throwing this numbers four hundred, number eight's in a twelve gage shotgunshell, there may only be one hundred. And as you get bigger and then you step up the buck shot.
Now, buck shot is obviously more what you want at home defense. Yes, now let's talk real. We got about a minute and a half left. Give us an overview of the differences in buck shot and what is advice? Really simple.
It starts the smallest buck shot would probably be considered number four buck. They are twenty five or twenty four caliber. Number four buck is twenty four caliber ball. So you imagine a lead pellet that is zero point two four inches in diameter, okay, and goes up to single aught or excuse me, triple at buck, which may be thirty six.
I'm guessing I don't have the Do you say triple lot, it's gonna say in the box zero zero zero.
Yeah, that's the biggest buck shot. You may only have in a twelve gage shell. You may only have six of those in a in a shot shell. So you go from having probably fifty something number four buck up to six, and they're bigger caliber. So double lot buck is which is the most common double lot buck is thirty three caliber.
What's advisable in your opinion for someone using a shotgun for home defense?
Any of the buck shot will work. They use different sized buck shots sometime for different gauges because they fit better in the in the area that you have or in the cup that you have to put them in. So twelve gage, you'll see number four, you'll see number one, you'll see double at.
They're all good. Some people like the idea of a slug, but you better be careful. Uh yeah.
Slug is a one ounce or an ounce and a quarter maybe an ounce and a half, solid big fat chunk a lid like a fishing wheat size, you know, a half ounce or an ounce or whatever size slug they usually have rifling built end of the bullet so it works with a smooth board and in part spin on. The bullet can be accurate out to one hundred yards or more, but it makes a very large hole and it doesn't slow down a lot, so over penetration for home defense is a significant concern.
Great stuff today. Thank you, yes, sir, Thank you. JD. Johnson. Talent Range. Just go to talentrange dot com. Learn how you can get some classes, get some training, and do some shooting. Forty eight past the outum. I hope you enjoyed that. I thought it was so interesting, but that's me. My goal was to help reduce some of the fear factor of going in and asking about a firearm, being more comfortable with the terminology and so forth better understand.
Tomorrow on the program. Steve Stewart, of course, will join us. January. Little John will join us. She's a parent advocate with do Nooharmmedicine dot com. She had a student in the local school system that one of the schools was helping transition without the parents' knowledge. She was a guest of President Trump at the address last night, and she will join us tomorrow on the phone and we'll talk about
that experience a little bit. We've got Pause for Thought tomorrow, and then in the third hour tomorrow, I'm going to take a little time and can share something with you that I think is really important, so much so I'm hoping that some lawmakers and some aids are listening. So I'm going to throw that out now and hopefully you'll arrange your listening schedule to check in tomorrow at eight o five Eastern, seven oh five Central. But that's Tomorrow.
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show on WFLA.
Shared the mic drop moment, and while there was a lot of theater in the President's address last night, the mic drop moment was when he said, you know, the media and Democrats were saying we needed a new law to deal with the migration problem at our southern border. He said, it turns out no, we didn't, we needed a new president. It was brilliant. It was just brilliant.
Democrats might have really hurt themselves because because the nation saw them acting like petulant children, still disconnected from the realities of what's going on in this country on everything from illegal immigration to the economy to protecting women's sports and spaces, to the Ukraine and war with Russia. I mean they could not be more disconnected. Taxation today on the program, of course, had a great conversation with Jadi Johnson.
This final hour. We talked about vaping. Vaping is very bad, Stop doing it. Shared the story of a twenty one year old whose lungs gave out after one year of vaping. Gave out. She's now an asthmatic, but she's alive, barely collapsed. Lungs are happening with more and more young people. Shared a peace from Jeffrey Tucker Brownstone Institute. The Party's over. Got a link to it on the page, now the
blog page, on the X page. And then we've got some great content including the address of the Santus and Trump on my block.
