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?
