Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

Charlie Strickland, Talon Training Group, joined us and we covered a lot of ground in our personal defense segment.

We are past the halfway mark and Sal Nuzzo, James Madison Institute, gave a look at what happened and will be happening in the upcoming sixth week.

Mat Staver, Founder & Chairman of the Liberty Counsel, joined a member of Florida ttorney General Ashley Moody's staff (where was the AG?) to argue whether the abortion amendment is properly written to fit the requirements of appearance on the 2024 ballot in Florida. The session before the court was not about the merits of the potential amendment, but about it's ballot summary and wording. Pre...

We talked over a lot of topics with J.D. Johnson of the Talon Training Group in this edition of "Personal Defense."

Craig Rucker is President of the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow. He describes the group as a free-market version of Greenpeace. He points out the Biden energy plan for wind power along the eastern seaboard is failing, and badly.

Mat Staver, Founder & Chariman of Liberty Counsel, will make the argument before the Florida State Supreme Court Wednesday at 9:00 AM. Listen to the absurd, expansive language of this amendment. It needs to not see the ballot printing press.

Florida House Speaker Rep Paul Renner (R-D.19) joined the show to discuss HB1 (the Speaker's top priority) as well as a lot of other legislative issues. A good visit covering much ground.

Sal Nuzzo, of the James Madison Institute, gave us a week four recap, a look to week five, and what Gov. Ron DeSantis has been up to as well. It's the best 2024 legislative session overview you'll find anywhere.

Florida's Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, is a plain talking, straight shooting kind of guy. It makes for a perfect guest. He and Preston discussed his job, ESG, and the NCAA vs. Florida State University.

Lee Williams is known as The Gun Writer (TheGunWriter. Substack. Com) and he follows, investigates, and reports on all things 2nd Amendment. Preston believes it is the Amendment which the Founders put in place to protect the rest of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Lee shared the unthinkable attempt underway to call virtually any training with a firearm illegal.

The distinction, because prisons are part of corrections, matters and Preston enjoyed an extended visit with Florida Secretary of Corrections Ricky Dixon to talk about what has happened in the last year, what he and his team hope to accomplish this year, plus a little vision casting.

Many are concerned, maybe alarmed, at recent rulings, case refusals, and proceedings from the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS). Hans von Spakovsky, a constitutional expert from Heritage Foundation, discussed the controversy including Texas vs. Biden.

Preston hates, repeat hates, the subject of Taylor Swift, he loathes discussing or talking about her at all. That said, it appears she has the ability to move the needle for illiberals if she chooses to do so. But, is there a counter strategy? To use her own words and statements against her?

Jesus Rodriguez, a former US Border Patrol Agent for more than two decades, is still connected. He lives in the region, he knows the current agents and, more importantly, knows what happens and why. He offered a current analysis of the invasion which is underway.

Sal Nuzzo, JMI, offers a snapshot of week three of the session and a look ahead to week four. What YOU need to know is here.

Robin Hassler-Thompson, Survive & Thrive Advocacy Center, discussed the massive, under reported problem of human trafficking. She talked about how kids are picked off (and it's usually insider social media or video games, not the panel van in a parking lot). Give this a listen.

Robert Herjavec, of Shark Tank, will join fellow Shark Barbara Corcoran at the Power Forward Speaker Series event at Ruby Diamond on Tuesday, January 30th. But first, Robert visited with Preston for an interesting and insightful visit. You can get your tickets to the event here .

Sal Nuzzo, VP of Policy for the James Madison Institute, broke down the week that was and the week which is to come.

Greg Wrightstone, author of the new book Convenient Warming , believes the earth is warming. Of course, his view is looking at a three-hundred yeard window of time and has nothing to do with mankind. We talked about his newest book and how any modest warming is natural and beneficial to you, me, and the rest of the planet.

Last month, Justin Haskins (Heartland Institute) broke the news on the show with Preston that his survey with Rassmussen, revealed 1-in-5 Americans engaged in mail-in voting fraud during the 2020 election. It is a staggering number. Nationally, that is roughly 13 million votes. Florida State Senator Sen Blaise Ingoglia (R-District 11) has introduced a bill to dramatically limit mail-in voting in t...

Charlie Strickland of the Talon Training Group joined Preston for his first visit of the new year and they discussed the ammo supply, how often you should clean your firearms, the best way to carry inside your vehicle, and other topics.

Keeping you informed, Sal Nuzzo, Vice-President of Policy with the James Madison Institute, shared what happened in the first week of the Florida legislative session and what is coming this week.

In the new year we will discuss "American Explorers and Pioneers" and today, Dr. Ed Moore, enlightens us and separates fact from myth on the founding of Florida's capital of Tallahassee.

In December, Justin Haskins, (Heartland Institute, co-author with Glenn Beck) broke the resulrs of a new poll he wrote the questions for and was used by Rassmussen. The results were stunning. We recapped the polling data and the reaction, plus looked ahead to the likely 2024 race for the White House.

Sal Nuzzo, James Madison Institute and our resident analyst, joined Preston to preview the 2024 session and highlight what is most important for Sunshine State residents to know.
