China's Advanced Warfare, The Invasion, and the 1911 · Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

• 0:09
  Third hour morning show with Preston Scott. That's Grant Allen running the radio program,
• 0:13
  turning the page literally time to talk personal defense and other things with J.
• 0:18
  D. Johnson. He is the co founder and co host. He's
• 0:22
  co founder of the Talent Training Group, co host of Talent Outdoors, and
• 0:26
  more importantly than all that, he's our friend. How are you? I'm
• 0:29
  great, sir. How about you? So? Do you have a nice
• 0:30
  Christmas in New Year? Awesome? Yeah, yep, all right. I
• 0:34
  got to bring you in here on one of the stories we talked about earlier
• 0:38
  today and just get your reaction to it. I've been arguing against TikTok,
• 0:45
  the use of TikTok, the downloading of TikTok, trying to explain to everybody
• 0:51
  that, yes, the Chinese are culling information. But then this, and
• 0:57
  I'm just going to read the headline. I don't know if you heard me
• 0:59
  talk about the story. The Chinese military are studying cognitive attacks against the US
• 1:03
  population. They're garnering information. I believe it's one hundred percent from TikTok to
• 1:10
  use for psychological warfare, and the idea is to get us to surrender with
• 1:15
  as little quote kinetic damage as possible doesn't surprise me. I don't know if
• 1:22
  you saw the story about the border down there where they were on TikTok posting
• 1:26
  written in their foreign languor in Chinese. They're posting videos on exactly how to
• 1:34
  get in touch with smugglers, get to the border, where to cross the
• 1:38
  whole nine yards. It's who are they publishing that too? People on TikTok,
• 1:42
  the Chinese people that coming across the border. And then they showed a
• 1:48
  video they were so China's encouraging their own citizens to leave the country and come
• 1:53
  here. Yeah, that's crazy, isn't it. Who'd have thought it is
• 2:00
  an invasion? You can't call it anything else. That's the thing. And
• 2:02
  that was something else we were talking about before the top of the hour,
• 2:07
  and that is that it's busy right now. You have its busy business in
• 2:12
  the gun industry, in the ammo industry and all of that. Do you
• 2:16
  feel like it is pointing to a story right now now of Chinese migrants crossing
• 2:22
  the border, southern border. How ironic iron it there? It is?
• 2:29
  Are people getting nervous? Are they getting nervous and then prepared? What's the
• 2:36
  read that you get. I think there's a lot of people getting nervous and
• 2:40
  that are concerned that have never been The people that have never been concerned before
• 2:46
  are now concerned with it. And they're starting to realize that we've let twelve
• 2:50
  million people across the south the southern border, uh, and we don't have
• 2:53
  a clue who they are. The big the two big conversations that I've been
• 2:57
  having with people coming in is the migrant surges, the numbers of people coming
• 3:05
  across, and the videos that showed the the Arabic guy or whatever he was
• 3:10
  that said, you don't you don't, you're too You're too dumb to know
• 3:13
  who I am. But you'll know who I am soon. I don't know
• 3:15
  if you've seen that video. Uh. That one has spurred a lot of
• 3:19
  concern, and you know, just the sheer numbers, and it's people from
• 3:23
  all over the world, you know, I don't. I think people are
• 3:29
  starting to realize that we've got a serious safety and concern issue that has been
• 3:36
  going on for too long, and there's just a lot of people that don't
• 3:38
  pay attention, pay attention to the news. Unfortunately. Let's tie this together
• 3:44
  with something I talked to Lee Williams and I know you know who Lee is.
• 3:46
  Lee comes on the program once a month, and we talked about a
• 3:50
  story legislation being advanced in the United States Congress that would in essence, ban
• 3:58
  training that any training that takes place at the Talent Range or at any other
• 4:02
  range would be considered paramilitary training and would be subject to arrest or forfeiture of
• 4:12
  weapons or rather arms. I should say sorry, but but it this seems
• 4:18
  coordinated. Really Yeah, that's is. Yeah, that's insane. That is
• 4:27
  that is that's if that doesn't terrify you. Was that legislation you were aware
• 4:32
  of? No, never heard of it. I hadn't heard about it.
• 4:35
  That's if that doesn't terrify you as a citizen of the United States. Uh,
• 4:41
  you're It's just that's just a terrifying fault that if the way the legislation
• 4:46
  is being crafted, if you and I were at the range and you,
• 4:50
  as a professional, were showing me anything beyond basically paper target stationary shooting,
• 4:57
  that would be considered military training. Mm hmm. I'm gonna be going to
• 5:00
  jail, I reckon, because I'm not gonna stop. I'm not We're not
• 5:03
  gonna stop teaching people how to how to fight with a gun, right,
• 5:08
  you know, it's it's a martial art. It is fighting with a gun,
• 5:11
  fighting with anything, you know, fighting with your hands is a martial
• 5:14
  art. Is what you do with that information is? You know? Can
• 5:19
  people do bad things with it? Sure? Are most people going to do
• 5:21
  bad things with it? No, most people are going to do good things
• 5:25
  with it. But it's not that much different than knowing how to put out
• 5:28
  a fire on your kitchen stove. It's it. I'm you know, I
• 5:33
  hate to put on the ten full hat. But it sounds like they want
• 5:35
  us to be totally dependent upon them for everything and defenseless. Yeah, exactly
• 5:44
  twelve minutes past the hour, Jadie Johnson of the Talent Training Group with us
• 5:48
  talent Range dot com and get training while you can. No just kidding.
• 5:57
  Story broke yesterday Jennifer Crumbly. She's the mother, one of the two parents
• 6:03
  of the young man whose name I will not mention, who shot and killed
• 6:06
  some classmates in Michigan, and she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Now,
• 6:15
  the reason they found her guilty is because on the day of the shooting,
• 6:19
  he had a notebook he was basically asking for help. He was signaling
• 6:24
  what he was going to do, and nothing was really responded, nothing was
• 6:29
  done. It was the prosecution established a pattern of neglect. Here's my point
• 6:36
  in bringing this up. What are, in your opinion, the guidelines the
• 6:44
  point in which a parent is responsible and is not responsible for the actions of
• 6:50
  a child in their home. That's tough question. Yeah, I know,
• 6:56
  that's a real tough, terrible situation, you know, But I'll go back
• 7:01
  to the you know, what is a jury of your peers, if you
• 7:06
  will, or the reasonable person the reasonable person standard, you know, would
• 7:13
  would do reasonable people? Can a reasonable person or reasonable people? That's what
• 7:17
  a jury is of your peers is supposedly based on supposed to be based on
• 7:23
  reasonableness. You know. Can you pick twelve people out of a crowd and
• 7:28
  all of them say, yeah, that's unreasonable behavior on her part to allow
• 7:33
  this to go on, or to not pay attention to what your child is
• 7:38
  doing and not do something about it. I think back to Columbine and one
• 7:43
  of those kids had literally the garage turned into an arsenal and his parents were
• 7:46
  unaware allegedly, Yeah exactly. I mean, how do you how are you
• 7:53
  so uninvolved in a child's life that you brought into the world and that you're
• 7:58
  responsible for, and you're that un involved in their life that you don't know
• 8:01
  what you don't know to that level what they're doing, you know. So
• 8:09
  I'm sure she is culpable, culpable at some to some level. And I
• 8:13
  didn't really follow the case, but we'll have to assume that the jury got
• 8:20
  it right, you know, based on that reasonable, reasonable and the necessary
• 8:26
  It was unreasonable for her to allow this to go on, and it was
• 8:28
  necessary for her to act on it at some point in time. It's indicative
• 8:35
  to me preston of the society today. Anytime something bad happens, it's an
• 8:41
  immediate We try to not hold people responsible for their behavior anymore. We try
• 8:48
  to as a society. We blame everything but the person we blame. We
• 8:56
  blame the tool that they used to do the harm with, whether that be
• 9:00
  a gun, a knife, or car or a bomb or whatever. Oh,
• 9:01
  well, they shouldn't have access to these things. Okay, anybody can
• 9:07
  make that argument. But at some point in time as a society we have
• 9:11
  to go, no, that's a bad person that did a bad thing,
• 9:13
  and they need to be punished, or they need to be culled from society,
• 9:18
  or they need to be whatever, you know, depending on the level
• 9:20
  of their behavior. But as a society, for a long long time,
• 9:24
  we have hesitated to point the finger at somebody and said you did wrong.
• 9:31
  Parents don't want to point the finger at their kids and look at them in
• 9:33
  the face and say you did wrong and you're gonna get punished for it.
• 9:37
  They blame teachers. They blame the law enforcement officer for catching them, They
• 9:41
  blame the teachers for correcting their behavior. They blame everything but the problem.
• 9:46
  And that's a societal problem. Twenty one minutes past the hour, it's not
• 9:50
  the Southern border anymore. It's the Southern sieve and joining me to talk about
• 9:56
  that in practical terms, Jad Johnson of the Talent Training Group, we both
• 10:03
  I've used the word for better than a decade because it's been a problem for
• 10:07
  better than a decade. It's been a problem for years. It's it's I
• 10:11
  think one of the biggest mistakes Reagan made while in office, and he's admitted
• 10:16
  as much. The Southern border is a point of invasion. We are being
• 10:20
  invaded as a country. Let's talk about the decision by Texas. You know,
• 10:28
  a lot of people misinterpreted the court ruling it. They didn't rule.
• 10:31
  The court just said that this ruling down south holds for now. But the
• 10:37
  Feds have stopped the border patrol said we're not cutting any more razor wire.
• 10:41
  But the response of the other states, what was your reaction prelude to Civil
• 10:46
  War period? Explain, well, I'm a history buff as you know,
• 10:50
  yes you are. And so when you have twenty five twenty five twenty seven
• 10:58
  state state governors that basically say, if you told the federal government, if
• 11:05
  you go down to Texas and you get involved in what Texas is trying to
• 11:11
  do to protect their state. Now, let's think about the constitution. The
• 11:16
  Constitution says that states that that immigration into a state is not the state's purview,
• 11:22
  it's not their jurisdiction. That is a federal jurisdiction. Constitutionally, that
• 11:26
  is a federal The immigration into the country is a federal problem, not a
• 11:31
  state problem, unless there is a caveat to that. That caveat is uses
• 11:39
  the word invasion, except for they say it's a federal problem unless there is
• 11:45
  an invasion happening. That's why some of US used that word for years.
• 11:50
  Yeah, we recognize the fact that it's an invasion. Yeah, not all
• 11:54
  invasions are armed troops in the wearing the same uniform, driving tanks across the
• 12:00
  river, across the border. So Texas and rightfully, so Texas looks in
• 12:07
  my mind, rightfully, so says, Okay, this is an invasion.
• 12:11
  Whether you recognize it in Washington, DC or not, we recognize as a
• 12:16
  state, this is an invasion, and it's affecting the whole country. And
• 12:20
  when you have twenty five twenty seven of the other states governors across the country
• 12:24
  saying, yeah, we agree with you one hundred percent. It's an invasion,
• 12:28
  and we're willing to send our state Guard, national Guard, whatever,
• 12:33
  We're willing to send the troops that we have under our control, the law
• 12:37
  enforcement, in the military, it's under our control. We're willing to send
• 12:41
  them to you to help with your problem. And the federal government sitting there
• 12:46
  going, no, you can't do that. What else do you call it
• 12:50
  other than a prelude to civil war? I mean, if you have the
• 12:54
  federal government back down on this one. Yeah, they did real quickly,
• 13:00
  right they did, because nobody wants a civil war. You know, I
• 13:05
  think they recognize it. I think they recognize that. That's exactly somebody up
• 13:11
  there, somebody up there paying attention, recognize that, Yeah, we were
• 13:16
  fixing to have a real problem here and you're going to end up with and
• 13:20
  the federal government can't send active duty military within our borders without invoking possecomatatis.
• 13:30
  They can't deploy, you know, active duty military in a military capacity within
• 13:35
  our own borders legally a constitutional camp. So it's yeah, it was.
• 13:43
  It was one of those tense moments. And we've seen this before. We
• 13:46
  have seen this before in eighteen sixty eighteen sixty one, we've seen this before.
• 13:52
  We need to pay attention. And you know, that's one of the
• 13:54
  biggest things I so worry about in the school system is the skimming over of
• 14:03
  our history and kids need to know this. You know, we've made mistakes
• 14:09
  as the country in the past. We need to learn from those mistakes and
• 14:13
  not make the same ones again. And it's unfortunately a lot of that get
• 14:16
  skimmed over in history classes in high schools. Yeah, it's it's what's interesting
• 14:22
  is there's so many things in all of this that are you know, they're
• 14:26
  interesting is really a bad word to use. We are in uncharted territory.
• 14:33
  And Joe Biden was wise in this one case, or his handlers, you
• 14:37
  know, to not say anything like he said basically to the Second Amendment crowd,
• 14:45
  which was, well, what are you going to do against an F
• 14:48
  thirty five? Blah blah blah. You know, I mean, in essence
• 14:52
  threatened that the US military is mightier. He was wise not to go that
• 14:56
  route and to just back down because Border Patrol said, we're not and razor
• 15:00
  wire anymore. We're not doing it well. And that's that's a good thing.
• 15:03
  And I think you have a lot of line level guys in the field
• 15:07
  at the border, in the Border Patrol. I talk to some of them.
• 15:09
  We have we have those those agents here here too, and they shoot
• 15:13
  at the range and they come to the store and I talk to them,
• 15:16
  and they're one hundred percent in agreement. They're they're there. They believe exactly
• 15:22
  what we believe. Okay, in less than a minute, what are your
• 15:24
  thoughts on law enforcement officers working off duty facilitating the human trafficking that's happening in
• 15:31
  Texas and Arizona. And they're they're in uniform and they're helping facilitate these groups
• 15:37
  that are bringing people that enter the country illegally across the country. You know,
• 15:43
  it breaks my heart, I think you know. But there's just like
• 15:46
  any other profession, there's a segment of uh, there's a segment of any
• 15:50
  profession you can find that's willing to do whatever they can get away with doing
• 15:54
  for a dollar. Back with J. D. Johnson of the Talent Trade
• 16:00
  Group, we're talking personal defense. We're going to segue here to a discussion.
• 16:03
  I prepped him just this much years ago. When I started to carry
• 16:08
  a firearm, I went through one concealed carry course and it was laughable.
• 16:18
  And so when Talent opened up, I went through a Talent training course and
• 16:22
  got properly trained. But I was handed a revolver, and I was told
• 16:29
  simultaneously, I wasn't shown a semi automatic. I was handed a revolt.
• 16:33
  Not at Talent, by the way, that was No, this is before,
• 16:36
  like I said, this was before any of that handed a revolver and
• 16:41
  was told simultaneously stay away from a nineteen eleven. Why well, what's with
• 16:48
  a nineteen eleven? So let me let me start by saying, because I
• 16:52
  don't want to make the gun people mad at me, but you will like
• 16:55
  I like nineteen elevens. I think they're they're there. They're gorgeous guns,
• 16:59
  the lines arm or great whatever. They've been around since nineteen oh five.
• 17:03
  They were adopted in nineteen eleven by the US military as the service weapon.
• 17:07
  The military was also issuing a lot of revolvers at the time too, so
• 17:11
  revolvers never went away, and for a long time, the nineteen eleven as
• 17:15
  a semi automatic was it. That was the one choice you had for the
• 17:19
  most part, that was somewhat reliable and just quickly to those that don't know
• 17:26
  the distinction, what distinguishes in nineteen eleven from a standard semi automatic, Well,
• 17:33
  it's a forty five ACP, single stack, single action semi automatic,
• 17:38
  and it was the issued service weapon for the military starting in nineteen eleven,
• 17:45
  and it went up through into the eighties until they changed over to the Barretta
• 17:51
  Bretta ninety two. So you have a ton of veterans out there, way
• 17:56
  through all the way through Vietnam. The Vietnam era that carried the nineteen eleven
• 18:02
  is their issue gun. And there's nothing wrong with a nineteen eleven there,
• 18:06
  but they're design their their operation, and all that stuff has been outdated at
• 18:12
  this point. There's a lot, a lot better choices out there, if
• 18:18
  for semi automatic, that are a lot more reliable, a lot more functional,
• 18:22
  a lot easier to use. I tell people like this, owning a
• 18:26
  nineteen eleven is a lot like owning an old Harley Davidson motorcycle. Okay,
• 18:30
  you better know how to work on it if you want to ride it.
• 18:33
  You know, Old Harley's nineteen eleven's same concept. Great motorcycle, you know,
• 18:38
  great bike, but you're going to have to work on it constantly to
• 18:42
  keep it running. So that's the deal with a nineteen eleven. Yep,
• 18:47
  that's kind of the deal. Yeah, the just the replacing parts, tuning
• 18:51
  it, keeping it running. There's a lot of you know there. They're
• 18:55
  very like everything else that John Browning designed. There's nothing so simple about them.
• 19:00
  There's a lot of parts. There's a lot of parts that get out
• 19:03
  of spec that need to be constantly tuned on and worked on and whatever.
• 19:07
  Even a modern day in nineteen eleven. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, there's
• 19:11
  nothing change. Nothing's changed about them. Nothing has really changed about them.
• 19:17
  Can you buy a modern Kimber or Springfield or cult right now. And the
• 19:22
  parts are virtually the same as the ones that's made in nineteen thirteen, nineteen,
• 19:29
  you know whatever, So there's not a lot of difference in them at
• 19:33
  all. Would you pick a revolver over in nineteen eleven, Yeah, for
• 19:41
  Yeah, I would. For as a law enforcement officer, I carried I
• 19:44
  carried a revolver. The first three years I was in law enforcement, I
• 19:48
  carried a revolver. So I have a lot of faith in revolvers. But
• 19:55
  it's a little different. Yeah, for those first six shots, it's going
• 19:57
  to work most of the time. Getting another six rounds in it for under
• 20:00
  stress is and nobody thinks. A lot of people don't think that way.
• 20:06
  Sure. You know, on the occasions that I do carry a revolver for
• 20:10
  for self defense, I carry a speedloader or maybe two in my pocket.
• 20:14
  You know, on the days that I carry a glock, I've got fifteen
• 20:17
  rounds in my block. And I was a was a police officer for three
• 20:21
  years when I only had eighteen bullets on my person at any given time.
• 20:26
  You know, with a with a modern a modern handgun that's got fifteen rounds
• 20:30
  in it and another magazine that's got fifteen rounds in it. I've got twice
• 20:33
  as much AMO essentially on my person as I had when I was a cop
• 20:38
  for you know, Caring the Revolver with J. D. Johnson in the
• 20:41
  Salent training group. It's a new year and I don't know what when do
• 20:47
  the new like Shot Show? When do they roll out new stuff? Did
• 20:51
  they roll it out in London last week? The Shot Show was last week
• 20:55
  Cast Vegas. Thankfully that I didn't have to go to Las Vegas this year.
• 20:57
  So yeah, you guys don't do the Shot Show much anymore. Yeah,
• 21:00
  it's it's just got to you know, we haven't been since hasn't been
• 21:04
  the Shot Show since COVID, you know, since the whole COVID thing happened,
• 21:08
  And I just where can the industry go? You know, it really
• 21:15
  can't until So the next big the next big innovation in firearms in general would
• 21:22
  be something other than lead projectiles at gunpowder with a primer. That's that's the
• 21:29
  nick. I personally think we have reached the pinnacle. And because if you
• 21:33
  really study firearms, there's nothing has really changed a lot since about nineteen eleven.
• 21:41
  You know, the guns, the modern firearm is not when you really
• 21:45
  dig down deep in it, it's really not all that different from guns that
• 21:48
  have been around. You know since nineteen hundred. Nineteen hundred, there were
• 21:52
  semi automatics on battlefields around the world. I don't know if you know that
• 21:56
  or not. But what happened with let's stay with the nineteen eleven it because
• 22:00
  of all the moving parts, all the maintenance, all the upkeep. It
• 22:02
  brought about and they find them exactly where you get the more standard semi automatic.
• 22:07
  Now, yeah, they it brought about a lot of there. There
• 22:08
  has been a ton of refinement since that very crude operational system with So you're
• 22:15
  talking an energy beam gun. That's exact Star Wars. That's exactly what I'm
• 22:18
  talking. That's the next evolution. Absolutely, you've alread, you're already seeing,
• 22:22
  you're already already seeing. That was my southernism already here everybody, you
• 22:27
  know, the Rednecks knew what I meant. I wasn't gonna say a word.
• 22:33
  Uh, you already are seeing uh energy energy beams, lasers, plasma
• 22:38
  rail guns, you know the magnetic rail guns on ships. Yeah, that
• 22:44
  are that are firing uh square cubes at ridiculous velocities. So you're gonna see
• 22:52
  eventually you will see a man portable handheld, some sort of particle beam,
• 22:59
  some sort of laser, some sort of something that's not prim or gunpowder and
• 23:03
  bullet. Red dots have been all the rage. Yep, still and are
• 23:08
  we going to see an evolution in red dot technology? Is there something left
• 23:15
  already happening? All of sun integrated into the gun, not an attachment.
• 23:22
  Yeah, you'll see that built into the gun eventually, as soon as they
• 23:25
  get around the battery power issue and having to remove it to put a battery
• 23:30
  in it or decide it in or to work on it or whatever. But
• 23:33
  you're already seeing some of these companies that are making really small thermal imaging sites.
• 23:41
  See that that sea heat yeah, or that work in the dark that
• 23:45
  see through the darkness. You're already seeing these really small It's like just like
• 23:49
  with computers that used to take up a whole building, you know, and

  It's a good question. What's your beat? Yeah, okay, it's it.
• 24:56
  We're twenty five years out. Probably I might live that. I don't
