Speaker 1: Hebrews ten says in verse nineteen, Therefore, brothers, since we
Speaker 1: have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood
Speaker 1: of Jesus, by the new and living way that he
Speaker 1: opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh.
Speaker 1: And since we have a great priest over the House
Speaker 1: of God, let us draw near with a true heart,
Speaker 1: full assurance of faith, with our heart sprinkled clean from
Speaker 1: an evil conscience, and let our bodies washed with pure waters.
Speaker 1: Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope
Speaker 1: without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let
Speaker 1: us consider how to stir up one another to love
Speaker 1: and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is
Speaker 1: the habit of some, but encouraging one another. And all
Speaker 1: the more as you see the day drawing near Hebrews ten,
Speaker 1: verses nineteen through twenty five. Here's what this is saying.
Speaker 1: Get to a body of believers, develop some accountability relationships, friendships,
Speaker 1: prayer partners, accountability partners. Don't forsake that, even more so
Speaker 1: now than ever. And when you enter, remember where two
Speaker 1: or more are gathered in his name, The King is
Speaker 1: in the room. Come on, can I get some of
Speaker 1: that ten past the hour. Good Morning from the Morning
Speaker 1: Show with Preston Scott, Friday, February twenty first show, fifty
Speaker 1: three to twenty one. Can you believe we got one
Speaker 1: week left in the second month and then that's done?
Speaker 1: Just through the year, He says, Hey, running the radio program,
Speaker 1: what's to be Friday? It's just us today, kids, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tease something that we're gonna try on Monday.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you about that in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Twenty first to February. Huh. Eighteen forty eight. Former President
Speaker 1: John Quincy Adams suffers a stroke on the floor of
Speaker 1: the US House dies two days later. But you know what, man,
Speaker 1: do your thing, live your life, and then I don't
Speaker 1: want that. I want that's the way to go. Man.
Speaker 1: He's in there on the house floor doing his thing,
Speaker 1: and then two days later seeing Jesus way to do it.
Speaker 1: I guess. Eighteen seventy eight, But God's in charge of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Eighteen seventy eight, first telephone directory is issued
Speaker 1: in New Haven, Connecticut. Can you imagine? I want to
Speaker 1: be number one? I will be phone number one is
Speaker 1: dial one? I want to be That's it. That's my
Speaker 1: phone number. One that would be so fun. Eighteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: Washington Monument is dedicated. Nineteen sixty five, African American leader
Speaker 1: Malcolm X shot and killed by three members the Nation
Speaker 1: of Islam and New York City feeding on their own craziness.
Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy two, Richard Nixon becomes the first US president
Speaker 1: to visit China. Can you believe that it wasn't until
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two that a US president was in China.
Speaker 1: That's craziness, all right. Today is National Caregiver's Day. So
Speaker 1: if you are a caregiver, thank you on behalf of
Speaker 1: the people that you're caring for. Thank you. National Boiled
Speaker 1: Peanut Day. I will tell you those can be either
Speaker 1: really good or really bad. I don't think there's a
Speaker 1: middle ground for those things. There's no dabt. You are
Speaker 1: a peanut guy, boiled peanut guy. Oh yeah, yeah, never
Speaker 1: had a bad batch, really never had goodness. Yeah. Someone
Speaker 1: knows what they're doing and knows like Cajun ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if they're not right. National Grain Day, sorry wrong,
Speaker 1: National grain Free Day. That's the opposite. But here's the one.
Speaker 1: It's National Sticky bun Day. You know it took me
Speaker 1: a while to figure out what's the difference between a
Speaker 1: cinnamon roll and a sticky bun. But I eventually did
Speaker 1: figure it out. There's a different difference. Now they can overlap.
Speaker 1: But man, when you're talking about caramel or or just
Speaker 1: whatever with some some walnuts or pecans, and it's just
Speaker 1: all you gotta wash your hands when you're through eating it,
Speaker 1: if you eat it with if you don't do the
Speaker 1: knife and fork, which of course that could be, you know,
Speaker 1: but I mean brown sugar, cinnamon. It's not quite the
Speaker 1: same as a cinnamon roll. They're just they're just a
Speaker 1: little different. Sometimes there's maple syrup and honey. All I
Speaker 1: know is you bake that goodness up and you flip
Speaker 1: it over and there you've got it. Seventeen past the
Speaker 1: hour when we come back and Iconic Museum exhibit. Longtime
Speaker 1: listeners of the show may remember that in my very
Speaker 1: eclectic collection of things, I have actual coal that was
Speaker 1: on board the Titanic. I got it many many, many
Speaker 1: years ago. One of the very first exhibits of Titanic
Speaker 1: artifacts was on display in either Tampa or Orlando, I
Speaker 1: don't remember which, But at the museum itself they had
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was so incredible to see.
Speaker 1: And I know for some people it's like a little
Speaker 1: you know, as little macabre. I mean, I get it,
Speaker 1: but it's it's history. It happened, and nothing's going to
Speaker 1: change that. And among the many things that it dredged
Speaker 1: up the salvage was coal and they broke it into
Speaker 1: these small little pieces that you could you could purchase
Speaker 1: and yeah, I have it, and it's you can get it.
Speaker 1: You can find them online. It's not like it's worth
Speaker 1: a lot of money. It's just a piece of history.
Speaker 1: It was on the ship. It was, you know. To me,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a safer collectible than even
Speaker 1: if you could buy a piece of whatever. This is
Speaker 1: just a little bit less personal and just I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just making up an excuse, man. Maybe. But
Speaker 1: the artifact exhibit, the Titanic Artifact Exhibition is at the
Speaker 1: Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey. It will
Speaker 1: be there through September. And among the things that they're showing,
Speaker 1: I think this is the first time they've revealed this
Speaker 1: is a chandelier, twenty pounds chandelier that hung in the
Speaker 1: smoking lounge for first class passengers and I'm looking at
Speaker 1: a picture of it right now. When you show up,
Speaker 1: you pay an eight dollars extra upcharge to see the
Speaker 1: Titanic exhibit over and above your normal museum entry, and
Speaker 1: you get a boarding pass and they take you through
Speaker 1: the history of Titanic from its construction on through the
Speaker 1: fateful sinking of the ship in April nineteen twelve. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this Let's put it this way. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: save this and use it as a road trip suggestion
Speaker 1: because if you go on a roady this summer and
Speaker 1: you're heading to the northeast, I would just say do it.
Speaker 1: Go see it now again. That exhibit was in Florida
Speaker 1: for years. I don't know if they've now turned it
Speaker 1: into a traveling tour and very limited places that it goes,
Speaker 1: but it's it's something special in my mind. Again. I
Speaker 1: just I saw a I watched a new documentary on it,
Speaker 1: totally different take, and it wasn't about what caused the
Speaker 1: ship to sink. It's what caused the ship to hit
Speaker 1: the iceberg to begin with. And this guy went on
Speaker 1: this unbelievable quest to determine what why did they miss
Speaker 1: the iceberg? Or seeing the iceberg, and he came up
Speaker 1: with looking at archival records of weather and reports of
Speaker 1: ships that were in the area that log different things
Speaker 1: at different times. He believes that, for example, there was
Speaker 1: I think it was the captain of a ship called
Speaker 1: the California that died in ridicule for having not seen
Speaker 1: the lights of the Titanic flashing, because he was five
Speaker 1: miles away and would have been able to rescue most anybody.
Speaker 1: And this guy was like, I need to find out
Speaker 1: if there's if there's a reason why they didn't see
Speaker 1: each other, that they couldn't communicate because they were flashing
Speaker 1: lights and they What this guy's assertion is is that
Speaker 1: the weather there was a phenomenon that they demonstrate in
Speaker 1: modern times that basically clouded the ability to see anything
Speaker 1: accurately on the horizon. And it was fascinating, it really was.
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's just interesting this is in the news
Speaker 1: after me watching that documentary the other day, twenty eight
Speaker 1: minutes after the hour. You've got to hear the big
Speaker 1: stories in the press box. You must. There are some
Speaker 1: nervous people in Washington, d c. Because Cash Ptel is
Speaker 1: now in charge of the FBI. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: really fine line that has to be walked by him.
Speaker 1: His first job is to clean out bad apples. His
Speaker 1: second job is to deal with domestic threats to this
Speaker 1: country and investigate federal crimes underneath the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: and the new Attorney General. But then there is a
Speaker 1: role to find out what the heck happened on January sixth,
Speaker 1: to do some digging. Not about retribution, it's not about revenge.
Speaker 1: It's about setting the record straight. Now to that end,
Speaker 1: you know, Friday, I love to I love to lift
Speaker 1: you up if I can, and the big stories oftentimes
Speaker 1: don't do that, but this is one that will. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna let you listen. Stephen Miller is the White
Speaker 1: House Deputy chief of Staff. The media's assembled, the Press
Speaker 1: Secretary of Carolyn Levitt is off to the side. He's
Speaker 1: taking questions Deputy chief of staff for the White House,
Speaker 1: and the media is talking about the topic of the day,
Speaker 1: which is the unelected Elon Musk and blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, and Stephen Miller just drops bomb after bomb
Speaker 1: after bombs.
Speaker 2: It is true that many of the people in this
Speaker 2: room for four years failed to cover the fact that
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country.
Speaker 2: It is also true that many people in this room
Speaker 2: who have used this talking point that Elon is not elected,
Speaker 2: fail to understand how government works. So I'm glad for
Speaker 2: the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. A president is
Speaker 2: elected by the whole American people. He's the only official
Speaker 2: in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation. Right,
Speaker 2: judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected at the
Speaker 2: district or state level, just one man. And the Constitution,
Speaker 2: Article two has a clause known as a vesting clause,
Speaker 2: and it says the executive power shall be vested in
Speaker 2: a president singular. The whole will of democracy is imbued
Speaker 2: into the elected president. That president that appoints staff to
Speaker 2: then impose that democratic will onto the government. The threat
Speaker 2: to democracy, indeed, the existential threat to democracy, is the
Speaker 2: unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who believe the
Speaker 2: answer to no one, who believe they can do whatever
Speaker 2: they want without consequence, who believe they can set their
Speaker 2: own agenda no matter what Americans vote for. So Americans
Speaker 2: vote for radical FBI reform and FBI agents say they
Speaker 2: don't want to change, or Americans vote for radical reformat
Speaker 2: or energy policies that EPA bureaucrats say they don't want
Speaker 2: to change, or Americans vote to end DEI racist DEI policies,
Speaker 2: and lawyers in the Department of Justice say they don't
Speaker 2: want to change. What President Trump is doing is he
Speaker 2: is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing
Speaker 2: to implement his lawful orders, which are the will of
Speaker 2: the whole American people.
Speaker 1: Boom shaka Laca and you're welcome. Forty minutes past the hour.
Speaker 1: That's why I love this job. Didn't I just make
Speaker 1: your day better? Didn't I m a D radio network,
Speaker 1: Make a Difference Radio network? And this is the Morning
Speaker 1: Show with Preston Scott. This is so funny listening to
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller. Just teach the media what they should already
Speaker 1: know because they're this particular group of media is tasked
Speaker 1: with covering the government. They should know the Constitution. It's
Speaker 1: almost as if you don't. Those some of us who
Speaker 1: work at iHeart, we have annual trainings. I've done some
Speaker 1: of them for twenty three years. Every year I could
Speaker 1: write the program. I know what they're going to say,
Speaker 1: but I go through it every single year. It's almost
Speaker 1: as if this administration needs to call everybody in that
Speaker 1: wants a pass to cover the White House, and you
Speaker 1: will sit through a four hour seminar on the United
Speaker 1: States Constitution taught by Hillsdale College. You're going to understand
Speaker 1: the Constitution so that you can more effectively cover the
Speaker 1: government and hold it accountable. Wouldn't that be novel? If
Speaker 1: you want to pass to you don't have to do this,
Speaker 1: but we don't have to give you a pass. But
Speaker 1: if you want access to the president and the White House,
Speaker 1: you must take this course. I'd love it. Chris Silissa,
Speaker 1: formerly was CNN, is warning Democrats, and ironically, so is
Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo. They're saying the same thing differently. On Balance.
Speaker 1: That's the name of the program that Solisa was on.
Speaker 1: He said the DEM's hostility towards Trump is causing them
Speaker 1: to adopt disastrous political strategies. He said they just have
Speaker 1: a blind spot with Trump. No idea he proposes can
Speaker 1: even be a good idea if it was proposed by
Speaker 1: James P Public Republican president, they'd be like Okay, well maybe,
Speaker 1: but because it's him Trump, and because the loathing is
Speaker 1: so I use the word advisedly, but they hate him.
Speaker 1: Every idea is a bad idea. Chris Cuomo made a
Speaker 1: similar argument that condemnation of Trump and the Department of
Speaker 1: Government efficiency shows that Democrats have not looked earned from
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election. This is Cuomo. It seems
Speaker 1: like anything that Trump or Musk does they have to condemn,
Speaker 1: and they have to condemn it on the basis of
Speaker 1: the people personally. Trump is a Nazi, Musk has apartheid roots.
Speaker 1: They're just defending the establishment. And I don't think it's
Speaker 1: where you want to be right now. You want to
Speaker 1: be in the business of better and they still seem
Speaker 1: like they're in the business of painting. The other side
Speaker 1: is worse. How fascinating one by one, But listen to
Speaker 1: Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat from Connecticut for.
Speaker 3: This.
Speaker 1: This is the perfect representation of the think tank of
Speaker 1: elected Democrats. We need to act like a real opposition
Speaker 1: party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis.
Speaker 1: That means we should not be moving forward nominees or
Speaker 1: legislation in the United States Senate. What are you guys nuts, honestly,
Speaker 1: please keep it up. Do that? Do that? Go out
Speaker 1: there with a unified, unified front. There's a theme that's
Speaker 1: built into this show that I did not intend. But
Speaker 1: the news stories just reflect a theme, and i' let's
Speaker 1: see if you can pick it out. So just stay
Speaker 1: with us. You do have some members of the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party saying hold on now, Chris Cuomo, Chris Melissa is Is.
Speaker 1: He's just pointing out the obvious. This is not smart, guys.
Speaker 1: Some of this stuff is really good. There's some good
Speaker 1: ideas here. I just wish Republicans were better at taking
Speaker 1: this type of opportunity and messaging it. Well. They just don't.
Speaker 1: They just they anyway, forty six past the album, see
Speaker 1: if you can pick up the theme in the next
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott
Speaker 1: on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA mostly party
Speaker 1: line vote, Senate passes a budget bill. If we just
Speaker 1: get a budget, that's an amazing accomplishment. We've been doing
Speaker 1: this reconciliation stuff for decades, I mean literally decades, So
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see where this all leads. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of plates spinning. Those of you
Speaker 1: that remember, you know, the old Ed Sullivan Show, or
Speaker 1: was it? I know, I know that occasionally it was
Speaker 1: on Carson, But these people would go on there and
Speaker 1: they'd have these sticks with plates on them, and they
Speaker 1: they'd spin the plates and see how many plates they
Speaker 1: could get going at one time. And then as they
Speaker 1: got to that last one, the first one starts wabbling
Speaker 1: real slow, and they stick and get that thing going back.
Speaker 1: And for' it's that's what we got going on. There's
Speaker 1: so much And that's actually a tactic that Democrats have employed.
Speaker 1: The difference being this is all about putting things back
Speaker 1: in some sense of order in our country. And it's
Speaker 1: so easy to say, oh, well, that's just because it's
Speaker 1: your side. Yeah, because the pendulum has been moving to
Speaker 1: the left for decades, even under Republican presidents George W. Bush,
Speaker 1: nice guy, loved to sit and chat with him, But
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is he was a moderate
Speaker 1: and he allowed the pendulum to keep swinging left. Came
Speaker 1: across this and posted this video on our ex page,
Speaker 1: and we you know I could I could go ahead
Speaker 1: and boost the numbers on X and I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: it by being a verified poster. I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about taking it for the team, and I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about it. We are just we're we're just living
Speaker 1: in the doldrums of being just another account out there.
Speaker 1: And I get it. But I posted this guy and
Speaker 1: he's talking about about Doge and and it's pretty funny stuff.
Speaker 1: Trump supporter voted for Donald Trump to do what he's doing.
Speaker 1: But did you expect Donald Trump to do this?
Speaker 4: Not all?
Speaker 1: This probably feels so good. It's two minutes and fifteen
Speaker 1: seconds of that. The guy's face is hilarious. Elon Musk
Speaker 1: even commented on it. Just posted it, and it's just
Speaker 1: fire right. But underneath that there was there was a
Speaker 1: little note here for some reason, when Biden was firing
Speaker 1: federal workers for refusing the vaccine. Now, one Democrat spoke up,
Speaker 1: but firing federal workers for wasting taxpayer money is the
Speaker 1: end of democracy as we know it, according to democrats.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's good. Didn't quite make my best of
Speaker 1: the week, but it's close. This guy not quite best
Speaker 1: of the week, but it's close. You can check our
Speaker 1: Twitter page, X page, our Twix page at TMS Preston
Speaker 1: Scott and click and follow if you like. But it's
Speaker 1: a brilliant observation when our military were being kicked out
Speaker 1: of their jobs. Some we talked to a military doctor
Speaker 1: who is a whistleblower who was on base restriction in
Speaker 1: Fort Watchuka, Arizona. We had him on the show talking
Speaker 1: about he was a whistleblower on what has happened since
Speaker 1: COVID and the vaccines being mandated in the military. Dems
Speaker 1: didn't talk about that. Second hour of the Morning Show
Speaker 1: with Preston Scott. Hello, thereby, great to be with you.
Speaker 1: He's jse just about fifty minutes from now, he'll be
Speaker 1: taking your calls. What's the be Friday? Next hour? M Hey,
Speaker 1: before I get any further and forget, I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: trying something on Monday called Three Conversations final hour of
Speaker 1: the show. Just every now and then, not a regular thing,
Speaker 1: just because soon we're going to be taking Mondays up
Speaker 1: for the legislative session. We're going to get you. It
Speaker 1: is our patriotic duty to keep you informed of what's
Speaker 1: going on in the state that most of you call home.
Speaker 1: We do have listeners all over the country, and for
Speaker 1: those of you that listen outside of Florida. You are welcome.
Speaker 1: You can learn how a state does things properly. For
Speaker 1: the most part, we don't get everything right. But the
Speaker 1: three conversations we will. We will give you a chance
Speaker 1: to be one of three callers to have a five
Speaker 1: minute conversation with me about whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: It's not about a filibuster. It's about having a conversation.
Speaker 1: You bring up the topic and we chat about it.
Speaker 1: It could be something you've always wanted to ask me.
Speaker 1: It would be something you want to just you want
Speaker 1: to talk about that's in the news. Whatever doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be news. It can be sports, it can be life,
Speaker 1: it can be Hey, uncle Preston, I've always wondered, how
Speaker 1: did you make your desk? I'm praying about this on Monday.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. This is in Politico, written by Eugene Ludwig,
Speaker 1: chair of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, former
Speaker 1: US Comptroller for Currency. Excuse me, a comptroller for currency.
Speaker 1: Here's the headline. Voters were right about the economy, the
Speaker 1: data was wrong. This is from a former US comptroller.
Speaker 5: And and.
Speaker 1: You remember this, how the media, the insiders, the belt
Speaker 1: Way the left. They were like, the economy's great. You
Speaker 1: people just don't get it. You don't know how good
Speaker 1: you have it. And we're like, I don't care what
Speaker 1: the numbers say. The economy sucks. This guy, whose whole
Speaker 1: business in professional life was based on economic data and reality,
Speaker 1: rarely considered was whether something else might be responsible for
Speaker 1: the disconnect, whether, for instance, government statistics were fundamentally flawed.
Speaker 1: And he goes on to talk about going around the
Speaker 1: country collecting data and seeing reality. But I want to
Speaker 1: give you one example of what he's talking about, and
Speaker 1: the fact that this is in political KIO is fascinating
Speaker 1: to me. The bottom line is this, for more than
Speaker 1: twenty years, including months prior to the election, voter perception
Speaker 1: was more reflective of reality than incumbent statistics. Here's an example. Now,
Speaker 1: he says, I don't believe those who went into this
Speaker 1: past election taking pride in the unemployment numbers understood that
Speaker 1: the near record low unemployment figures the figure was a
Speaker 1: mere four point two percent in November listen now counted
Speaker 1: homeless people doing occasional work as employed. But the implications
Speaker 1: are powerful if you filter the statistic to include as
Speaker 1: unemployed people people who can't find anything but part time
Speaker 1: work or who make a poverty wage. The percentage is
Speaker 1: actually twenty three point seven percent. In other words, nearly
Speaker 1: one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today.
Speaker 1: His point that he layers throughout this piece is that
Speaker 1: the bureaucrats working for the administration under Joe Biden, Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: Jill Biden. I'm just saying, filtered their statistics to leave
Speaker 1: out fundamentals. That's the disconnect. What are they talking about
Speaker 1: is what we were saying, because we're looking at real life.
Speaker 1: And a point that he makes is Republicans on whole
Speaker 1: are more connected to what's happening at the grassroots level
Speaker 1: than Democrats because Democrats look at filtered statistics, Republicans look
Speaker 1: at people. Isn't that a fascinating observation? And doesn't that
Speaker 1: bear witness to what you and I and so many
Speaker 1: others were thinking. Clearly, an overwhelming majority of Americans. I
Speaker 1: don't care what it says. I can see. And it's
Speaker 1: like the old adage, are you gonna believe what your
Speaker 1: lying eyes are telling you? Or what they tell you?
Speaker 1: Eleven passed the hour told you a theme. Here's a theme.
Speaker 1: What I try to do is inform you with stories
Speaker 1: like that from Politico Politico. I'm I'm, I'm half shocked
Speaker 1: they published it, but they did, and in fact, they
Speaker 1: gave it kind of lofty status. Voters were right about
Speaker 1: the economy, that data was wrong. That's the headline, big
Speaker 1: bold letters. I try to bring you stories that inform
Speaker 1: you but also enlighten you so that when you have
Speaker 1: conversations and if you decide to go out there and
Speaker 1: battle on social media. I don't advise it. I really don't.
Speaker 1: As much as I would love for you to follow
Speaker 1: us on twics, I don't really care. It's fine if
Speaker 1: you do, but I don't really care. What I'm most
Speaker 1: interested in is for you to look at these stories,
Speaker 1: dig them up, and find them. Don't don't email me.
Speaker 1: Can you send me the link? I got too many stories,
Speaker 1: too many things, bless your heart. I had a lady
Speaker 1: say you talked about I got the book yesterday, that
Speaker 1: Jerry Mitchell book, But there were two other books. Can
Speaker 1: you send me? Really, we've got a podcast. We've got
Speaker 1: two of them. You can go back and listen and
Speaker 1: find the books and here are the authors. But I
Speaker 1: tossed her a line. I said, I'll do this for you,
Speaker 1: and so I had the staff look it all up
Speaker 1: and so we we furnished that for her. But you
Speaker 1: need to take ownership of this stuff. And what I
Speaker 1: offer in I don't like using the word analysis. That's
Speaker 1: Russia's thing. I'm not that smart. I just I occasionally
Speaker 1: use that word because I'm trying to offer a perspective
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of us have and express
Speaker 1: it in a way that hopefully might help you express
Speaker 1: some thoughts and some ideas that you have, so that
Speaker 1: when you sit down with others you can you can
Speaker 1: speak to these things and feel like yes. And that's
Speaker 1: what's so important. When we have guests on this show
Speaker 1: that don't need a note, you can hear it. You
Speaker 1: can hear it when we have Marco Rubio on this program.
Speaker 1: You can hear it. When you have Rick Scott, you
Speaker 1: can hear it when you have Cat Camick. When there
Speaker 1: are certain guests Peter Schweitzer, Justin Haskins, these people don't
Speaker 1: need a note because they they know it, they spend
Speaker 1: time with it, They've got ownership of it. That's where
Speaker 1: you need to be on some of these issues. You
Speaker 1: need to be well versed. I hope you start with
Speaker 1: God's word. I get back to that theme. I had
Speaker 1: lunch with a friend of the show yesterday, and I
Speaker 1: talked about being able to test and approve what God's
Speaker 1: Word says so that you're not misled. The same thing
Speaker 1: about policy, the same thing about philosophy, the same thing
Speaker 1: about what's going on your personal beliefs. You've got to
Speaker 1: be able to just you gotta be able to say
Speaker 1: them to your kids, express these things, teach them while
Speaker 1: they're young. Sorry, I sound like a Reese's Peanut butter
Speaker 1: Cup commercial. Sorry, not sorry, not sorry. More to come,
Speaker 1: sixteen past the hour. I'm gonna make some hopeium. Sorry
Speaker 1: I tell you that.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, uh huh uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 1: Now this is an interesting story. Clarksville, Mississippi, the City
Speaker 1: of Clarksdale, did I say, Clarksville Clarksdale. The city council
Speaker 1: voted to file a libel lawsuit against the local paper
Speaker 1: of record, the Clarksdale Press Register Libel, accusing it of
Speaker 1: publishing a libelous editorial claiming the mayor and city commissioners
Speaker 1: failed to inform the media about imposing a new tax
Speaker 1: on residence. This is just this is this is crazy.
Speaker 1: They took the editorial down because a judge put a
Speaker 1: restraining order on the register. A judge, Crystal wise Martin,
Speaker 1: granted the city's request requiring it to be taken down.
Speaker 1: The judge argued the editorial contained statements that could be
Speaker 1: considered defamatory, quoting the injury in this case is defamation
Speaker 1: against public figures through actual malice and reckless disregard of
Speaker 1: the truth, and interferes with their legitimate function to advocate
Speaker 1: for legislation. So let's just sit back for a moment
Speaker 1: and let you and I adjudicate this case. Here's what
Speaker 1: they wrote. The writer of the editorial, ostensibly the the
Speaker 1: editor of the paper or the publisher of the paper.
Speaker 1: It's a small town, agreed with the idea of the tax.
Speaker 1: They want to put a two percent syntax, if you will.
Speaker 1: That's what it's called in many places, on alcohol, marijuana,
Speaker 1: tobacco sales. And they want to use that two percent,
Speaker 1: that two cent sales tax to fund law enforcement. That's
Speaker 1: fine and well, it's not unheard of. It's somewhat routine
Speaker 1: for things like that to exist. The editor of the
Speaker 1: newspaper agreed great idea, but insisted that city officials did
Speaker 1: not do enough to inform the public and the media
Speaker 1: before submitting the proposal to the Mississippi state legislature. The
Speaker 1: author slammed the mayor for holding a special called meeting
Speaker 1: without adequate public notice despite promising to be transparent multiple times.
Speaker 1: The notice was posted at city Hall, is required by law,
Speaker 1: and stated the city would give appropriate notice thereof to
Speaker 1: the media, yet the newspaper was never notified. The author
Speaker 1: noted in the editorial that no other media organization was notified.
Speaker 1: The newspaper argued that the funds could be diverted from
Speaker 1: law enforcement to other programs due to the proposals vague
Speaker 1: language and suggesting that it could include non law enforcement
Speaker 1: expenditures such as giving away candy at Halloween, toys at Christmas,
Speaker 1: or hosting evans where politicians can hand out goodie bags
Speaker 1: to voters in the name of safety. So how is
Speaker 1: any of that libelous? Obviously this will be appealed, it
Speaker 1: will all be too late, it won't matter, but the
Speaker 1: principle will remain. So wishing them good success. Here's a
Speaker 1: newspaper agreeing with the intent of whatever is being discussed,
Speaker 1: but is simply holding them accountable to what is required
Speaker 1: of notification, and a judge finds that requirement being put
Speaker 1: in editorial form as libelous. This story illustrates that what
Speaker 1: happens in little small towns or big towns like Tallahassee,
Speaker 1: it matters. This stuff matters. A newspaper doing its job,
Speaker 1: how novel. We've got one that's privately run here, but
Speaker 1: not the newspaper on record. So when they actually do
Speaker 1: do something, a newspaper outlet that's notable and important, a
Speaker 1: judge says, no. Twenty seven minutes past resetting the big
Speaker 1: story in the press box, and you must hear what's
Speaker 1: coming next. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1: Thirty five thirty six past the hour. It'll be the
Speaker 1: best thing you hear all day. Deputy Chief of Staff
Speaker 1: of the White House. Yesterday with the assembled media whining,
Speaker 1: complaining about doge, Elon Musk and Steve Van Miller had
Speaker 1: some fund It is.
Speaker 2: True that many of the people in this room for
Speaker 2: four years failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden
Speaker 2: was mentally incompetent and was not running the country. It
Speaker 2: is also true that many people in this room who
Speaker 2: have used this talking point that Elon is not elected
Speaker 2: fail to understand how government works. Yes, so I'm glad
Speaker 2: for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. A president
Speaker 2: is elected by the whole American people and only official
Speaker 2: in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation. Right,
Speaker 2: Judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected at the
Speaker 2: district or state level, which is one man. And the
Speaker 2: Constitution Article two has a clause known as a vesting clause,
Speaker 2: and it says the executive power shall be vested in
Speaker 2: a president singular. The whole will of democracy is imbued
Speaker 2: into the elected president. That president that appoints staff to
Speaker 2: then impose that democratic will onto the government. The threat
Speaker 2: to democracy, indeed, the exist potential threat to democracy, is
Speaker 2: the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who believe
Speaker 2: the answer to no one, who believe they can do
Speaker 2: whatever they want without consequence, who believe they can set
Speaker 2: their own agenda no matter what Americans vote for. So
Speaker 2: Americans vote for radical FBI reform and FBI agents say
Speaker 2: they don't want to change, or Americans vote for radical
Speaker 2: reformat or energy policies, but EPA bureaucrats say they don't
Speaker 2: want to change, or Americans vote to end DEI racist
Speaker 2: DEI policies, and lawyers of the Department of Justice say
Speaker 2: they don't want to change. What President Trump is doing
Speaker 2: is he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy
Speaker 2: by failing to implement his lawful orders, which are the
Speaker 2: will of the whole American people.
Speaker 1: The only thing he didn't say, it's a classic line
Speaker 1: Sean Connery offered in the movie The Untouchables. Thus an
Speaker 1: to the lesson Mike Drop moment, the media had nothing.
Speaker 1: Two other big stories, Cash Patel confirmed he is the
Speaker 1: head of the FBI, And honestly, six months ago Cash
Speaker 1: Patel heading up the FBI was like twenty sixteen thinking
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was actually gonna win the election, really really
Speaker 1: when he came down that elevator and said he was running,
Speaker 1: I was like, really, okay. I remember playing Ann Coulter's
Speaker 1: reaction when she was on one of the late night
Speaker 1: talk shows, so who you gonna win? Who's gonna Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: And they laughed at her and she wasn't laughing. And Culture,
Speaker 1: another previous frequent guest of this show had Anne cult
Speaker 1: her on here all the time. I was one of
Speaker 1: the only quote local radio programs she ever did. But
Speaker 1: that was then. This is now. Here's the other big story.
Speaker 1: Remember I said Hamas was releasing four bodies of hostages.
Speaker 1: Two babies, tiny children, a toddler and a baby, their mother,
Speaker 1: and then a grandfather or an elderly man. Well there
Speaker 1: were four bodies, but the mom isn't one of them.
Speaker 1: It's a gossen woman, not the mother of those two children.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. So she's either not dead and they're keeping her,
Speaker 1: or she's dead and they're keeping her for some other sick,
Speaker 1: twisted reason. Here's what this goes back to. These Hamas terrorists.
Speaker 1: They are monsters and like all monsters, must be exterminated.
Speaker 1: These aren't military operatives, these aren't soldiers. They're terrorists. And
Speaker 1: and and to think that they would put the body
Speaker 1: of somebody else and not think it'd be noticed. How
Speaker 1: did they kill those children? What did they suffer? You
Speaker 1: just have to remember all of this as you consider
Speaker 1: the Middle East forty one minutes past. Back in a moment,
Speaker 1: don't leave me, Good morning, and welcome to the Morning
Speaker 1: Show with Preston Scott FTC. Federal Trade Commission wants to
Speaker 1: know more Mark Zuckerberg's claim of fixing a problem that
Speaker 1: he said under oath didn't exist, remember that censorship. And
Speaker 1: then he comes after Trump's elected, comes out and says, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've made changes. But I thought you said you were fine.
Speaker 1: You didn't do anything. Well, the Federal Trade Commission wants
Speaker 1: to know more. Uh, quoting one anonymous source that works
Speaker 1: for the FTC, we're keeping our foot on the gas pedal. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: then now here's where you come in, ladies and gentlemen, ruminators.
Speaker 1: They are opening up an official request for public comments
Speaker 1: on censorship by big tech companies. They are asking you
Speaker 1: to detail cases where you face consequences from companies for
Speaker 1: engaging in disfavored political speech. The Daily Caller said this
Speaker 1: is this draft is going to be made public and
Speaker 1: that it's a precursor to a formal investigation. It does
Speaker 1: not intend to allow sweeping allegations of political censorship to
Speaker 1: continue or to happen. Ever. Again, the document asks Americans
Speaker 1: if you've ever been suspended, band, shadow band, or otherwise
Speaker 1: received degraded services by a tech firm after sharing opinions.
Speaker 1: Now I have to, right now stop and ask myself,
Speaker 1: do I want to take part in this.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: I didn't screenshot any of the stuff that happened, although
Speaker 1: it might still be there. I haven't visited our show's
Speaker 1: Facebook page in four years. I mean, I haven't even
Speaker 1: visited it. I don't even remember what it's called.
Speaker 8: I swear before God, I don't even remember what we
Speaker 8: called our Facebook page.
Speaker 1: Was it The Morning Show with Preston Scott? Was it
Speaker 1: Preston Scott's Show?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you can tell me some of
Speaker 1: you are still Facebook faithful, and that's fine, no objection
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. It's it's a place where
Speaker 1: you communicated with family. You didn't get in any of
Speaker 1: the politics or anything cool. Nope. I bear no bad
Speaker 1: feelings to anybody that stayed on Facebook. And so I
Speaker 1: would have people say, I know you don't go on Facebook,
Speaker 1: but take a look at this, and they would paste
Speaker 1: something in from a Facebook page. Maybe you can tell
Speaker 1: me what our Facebook page was. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: can only tell you that I got iHeart in trouble
Speaker 1: nationally for something I posted. Now, I had no repercussions
Speaker 1: other than I was called to a meeting. It was
Speaker 1: a it was a phone meeting, of conference meeting of
Speaker 1: some kind. I was not reprimanded of the I was.
Speaker 1: I gave my explanation and I said have a good day.
Speaker 1: But I didn't, so I don't know if I really
Speaker 1: faced any repercussions. I was shadow band on Facebook. I
Speaker 1: did face that, and it led to us stopping our
Speaker 1: video presentation of the show, which will not come back.
Speaker 1: It's just too much work and I'm too lazy. No,
Speaker 1: I just, I just I don't want to do it again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, look into that, if that, if it happened
Speaker 1: to you, if you, if you got, if you gotten twelvele,
Speaker 1: you might want to look into this whole thing with
Speaker 1: Federal Trade Commission and offer public comment when they asked
Speaker 1: for it. We'll try to keep you up to date
Speaker 1: on that. Forty seven past the hour, come back, Get
Speaker 1: you ready for What's the Beef Friday? It's the Morning
Speaker 1: Show with Preston Scott. The people are the best. No, seriously,
Speaker 1: I just I can sider even those of you that
Speaker 1: don't like me, you're my friend, your friends, we're buddies
Speaker 1: and pals. We might not be besties, but we're pals,
Speaker 1: We're mates. Ladds lattice lattice lattice lat lattices with a
Speaker 1: D instead of a tti cees, which is what do
Speaker 1: you put outside your house? Pat wrote in my sign
Speaker 1: off on Facebook was January twelfth, twenty twenty one, four
Speaker 1: years and some change. That's funny, that really is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, here's my story to get you ready for
Speaker 1: what's the beef. Nathaniel not Nathan, not Nathaniel. Nathaniel Moran,
Speaker 1: Canadian advisor to the Federal Minister of Women. I'm aware
Speaker 1: that my participation in so many competitions will be talked
Speaker 1: about because of my medical history. The situation in the
Speaker 1: United States and comments of certain politicians do not help either.
Speaker 1: With all due respect the level I compete as an
Speaker 1: amateur recreational athlete, the state of scientific research in the
Speaker 1: field for the amateur recreational level, and the fact that
Speaker 1: I have undergone medical transition. You see where we're going here.
Speaker 1: I can say that I consider that I have legitimacy
Speaker 1: to participate in the right category unless the law prohibits
Speaker 1: me from doing so. Let us remember that in Canada
Speaker 1: no law prohibits it. As for other countries. I will
Speaker 1: comply with the local laws in force when it applies.
Speaker 1: Here's what he's not telling you that when he ran
Speaker 1: in the women's category at the five k Bouge Bouge
Speaker 1: run in February twenty twenty four, he came in first place,
Speaker 1: earning the title fastest female across all age categories. Hold on,
Speaker 1: just wait. He claimed the title over a girl in
Speaker 1: the ten to twelve year old category. This little girl
Speaker 1: ten to twelve, what's the second fastest female coming in
Speaker 1: at twenty six oh eight. He ran a twenty five
Speaker 1: thirty two, so just over thirty seconds slower was this
Speaker 1: ten to twelve year old little girl who should have
Speaker 1: been named the fastest woman female runner in the race.
Speaker 1: And so this little child was prevented from the honor
Speaker 1: of being named the fastest woman in the competition, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, what does that say about this dude
Speaker 1: that a ten eleven twelve year old girl nearly ran
Speaker 1: up his skirt and came up thirty second short. Otherwise
Speaker 1: she's first and wins the title and gets the honor
Speaker 1: just to sell and now she's forced to just deal
Speaker 1: with this asterisk. I was the fastest real girl there
Speaker 1: and have to explain all the nonsense in gibberish about
Speaker 1: this whole thing that I'll get you ready, it's what's
Speaker 1: the be Friday? Lines are open eight five zero two
Speaker 1: zero five w f.
Speaker 9: L A, Hey, what's going on here? We got one
Speaker 9: line taken, we got three lines open.
Speaker 1: It's like a story I heard the other day. Offering
Speaker 1: plate gets passed around, the deacons bring them up. The
Speaker 1: pastor looks in the plates, he goes, that ain't good enough.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it again, So he sends the plates
Speaker 1: back out and everyone starts digging through their podckets, like
Speaker 1: for this spare change. It's what's the mean Friday? We've
Speaker 1: got We've got room for you. Eight five zero two
Speaker 1: zero five WFLA. My apologies to Lee, who has been
Speaker 1: very patiently standing by the phone. Lines are open. Your
Speaker 1: chance to call is right now. Eight five zero two
Speaker 1: zero five WFLA. We give you a chance to complain
Speaker 1: about anything you want. It's your time and you can
Speaker 1: complain about literally anything. We just have two rules. No
Speaker 1: profanity and don't make it personal. If you have a
Speaker 1: bad experience at a business, tell us what happened. Lay
Speaker 1: it out there. Just don't name the business unless I
Speaker 1: ask you to. There are occasions when it's okay, but
Speaker 1: let me be the arbiter of that. But whatever you like.
Speaker 1: As long as you stay in those guidelines, we're good.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Lee. Hey, Lee, thanks for calling in.
Speaker 1: What's the beef?
Speaker 3: Good morning, Preston, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1: My pleasure.
Speaker 3: My beef this morning is actually with I think it's
Speaker 3: big tech censorship. I've been paying for a TV subscription
Speaker 3: that belongs to well, we'll just I think we can
Speaker 3: say this because there's nothing negative Blaze Media group. I
Speaker 3: app on my TV so I could watch Blaze Media.
Speaker 3: But I keep on my TV last night and I
Speaker 3: went and I looked to my app was missing, and
Speaker 3: I said, well, that's kind of weird, and so that
Speaker 3: I went to reinstall the app so I could watch
Speaker 3: something on the Blaze and well, my TV has completely
Speaker 3: deleted Blaze Media as an app. I can even see now.
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of weird, and I think that's
Speaker 3: big tech censorship and I'm pretty upset about it.
Speaker 1: WHOA Okay, now hold on here, what brand TV are
Speaker 1: we talking?
Speaker 3: Well, it is a Visio and I've ad it at Walmart.
Speaker 1: I would immediately reach out to somebody at Blaze Media
Speaker 1: because unlike a lot of places, they will fight stuff
Speaker 1: like that. You need to let them know what's happened.
Speaker 3: I definitely will and then let.
Speaker 1: Me know, shoot me an email and follow up with
Speaker 1: me on this. I will be fascinated to know what happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll definitely reach out to Blaze Media today. I
Speaker 3: listened to Glenn's program After Yours every day, and I
Speaker 3: can say I pay for the subscription every month. I
Speaker 3: enjoy supporting them. But I was trying to disturb to
Speaker 3: see that it was missing and I, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I'd be absolutely livid about that. Lee,
Speaker 1: thanks very much, brother, and I wish you well on that.
Speaker 1: I suspect they will be very interested to hear that
Speaker 1: news over at Blaze. I wouldn't waste one minute of
Speaker 1: time with Visio. That's just me. I would I would
Speaker 1: try to go straight to Blaze. That frees up a
Speaker 1: line eight five zero two zero five to BFLA STU
Speaker 1: from Joja, how are.
Speaker 7: You well, Preston. You know I've been hearing these complaints
Speaker 7: for the past week or two about Elon Musk Yeah,
Speaker 7: assisting our president in the White House. None of these
Speaker 7: people are talking about the over thirty three visits over
Speaker 7: the past four years by none other than Alexander Soros,
Speaker 7: who is the fine young son of George, who, in
Speaker 7: the opinion of critics, feels that he may in fact
Speaker 7: be a threat to all humanity. And I just don't
Speaker 7: understand why they skip right over that.
Speaker 1: Because they don't think he's a threat. They like him.
Speaker 7: Ah, you have made a good point. I will I
Speaker 7: will dwell on that thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's part of the club man, but you make it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you make a great point.
Speaker 7: He's the leader of the band, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's gonna inherit all of the money. And Stu,
Speaker 1: thanks very much for calling in. Yeah, alex Soros is
Speaker 1: we were kind of hoping that when George's time comes whenever.
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I don't wish bad on anybody.
Speaker 1: I don't mind their plans failing if they're bad people.
Speaker 1: But whatever, Okay, let me take that back. Hamas terrorists,
Speaker 1: I'm good wishing bad on them. I'm totally good with that.
Speaker 1: I have to I have to correct myself. Uh, David,
Speaker 1: your next then Nancy, what about you? Eight five zero
Speaker 1: to zero five w FLA. We've got two lines. You
Speaker 1: can be on the air. It's What's to be Friday
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning
Speaker 1: with Preston Scott. Your calls, your complaints, whatever you need
Speaker 1: to get off your chest. We're here for you. The
Speaker 1: audio couch has been disinfected, wiped down, dusted, cleaned and
Speaker 1: is ready for you. David, you are up. It's What's
Speaker 1: to be Friday? What's your beef?
Speaker 10: Good morning, Pressed and the self security. Trump's going to
Speaker 10: take the tax away, but you know you pay taxes
Speaker 10: on it. Democrats are the ones that took put the
Speaker 10: tax back on you. They took everything away, They took
Speaker 10: the box where it was at they you eat it it.
Speaker 10: Democrats done it all. Now they're saying the Republicans are
Speaker 10: going to take it away from this. Well, I pay taxes,
Speaker 10: I grow solid security, I work. At the end of
Speaker 10: the year, eighty five percent of my Social Security is
Speaker 10: taxed again, so you're double taxed on social Security. That
Speaker 10: is my grap this morning. I mean, they double tax everything,
Speaker 10: and you know which way is Trump going to take
Speaker 10: the tax out? From when you get it out of
Speaker 10: you check or after you get it when you retire.
Speaker 1: Now I could be mistaken here, but when you say
Speaker 1: you're taxed twice on Social Security, Uh my understanding was
Speaker 1: that you're not taxed on the Social Security money on
Speaker 1: the front end, just like you're not taxed on your
Speaker 1: four oh one K on the front end, you're taxed
Speaker 1: on the back end.
Speaker 10: That's well, yeah, I don't believe that. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 10: know for sure, Okay, but I know eighty five percent
Speaker 10: of mine is taxed because I make over thirty four
Speaker 10: thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I owe my job. So uh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: ridiculous in and of itself, David, the taxing level, and
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll address that. But thanks for calling in. But yeah,
Speaker 1: call a CPA on that one, and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: can get a quick answer on that. But I think
Speaker 1: I could be wrong that your taxable income is not
Speaker 1: that Social Security isn't taxed. It's just taken out. But
Speaker 1: it might be it could be taxed. I could be wrong,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's something that only is addressed when you
Speaker 1: file your tax return, that that adjustment is made. I
Speaker 1: do know that for a one k's that money is
Speaker 1: not taxed. It's taxed when you take it out, which
Speaker 1: is why I personally prefer if I were to have
Speaker 1: the option, I wouldn't have this traditional four O one
Speaker 1: k that we have. I'd have a wroth. You know
Speaker 1: we've got a wroth, but you know that's not the
Speaker 1: main mechanism for us. But thanks very much. I appreciate
Speaker 1: the call. Sorry to take so much time there, Nancy, Europe.
Speaker 11: I have a really serious beef about politics, Okay. I
Speaker 11: believe that politicians, during the time when people are trying
Speaker 11: to go for president or whatever, to be held accountable
Speaker 11: for any lies that they tell about the other person.
Speaker 11: Out Here, we only have these politicians and news which
Speaker 11: we know is crooked to tell us what they're really about,
Speaker 11: and to hear false things about other people. It's very
Speaker 11: confusing at times, and I think they should be held accountable.
Speaker 11: I think they should be able to be sued. I
Speaker 11: think they should have a law in place where you
Speaker 11: cannot lie. And there is a libel law, but nobody
Speaker 11: uses it, and I think that would help us out
Speaker 11: a lot to the truth.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nancy. Appreciate that we kind of touched on
Speaker 1: that loosely last hour on a news media story. Cowboy Bob,
Speaker 1: stand by Michael Ron. You'll be I promise all of
Speaker 1: you will be next in the next segment. But let
Speaker 1: me just say this. They can be sued. Spoken lies
Speaker 1: that to fame. It's called slander, and written lies it's
Speaker 1: called libel, and so it can happen. It's why I
Speaker 1: don't worry about saying certain things on this program that
Speaker 1: I just know to be true. And you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's local politicians or state politicians or national politicians or whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 1: there you go. But thanks for calling in. Accountability should
Speaker 1: be paramount. Sixteen past Bob, Michael Ron, You're next on
Speaker 1: the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty minutes past the hour.
Speaker 1: Time for a few more phone calls. We've got room
Speaker 1: for one more caller eight five zero two zero five
Speaker 1: w f l A eight five zero two zero five
Speaker 1: wfl A. But waiting very patiently on the phone line
Speaker 1: is Cowboy Bob. How are you, sir? What's the beef?
Speaker 5: Good morning? I got a question for you. The oh
Speaker 5: one thing. Caroline Levitt is a superstar?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, the how about form that? Let's let's
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to turn the question into
Speaker 1: a beef, and let's do this. How how is it
Speaker 1: that that the former Press secretary was so inept compared
Speaker 1: to how amazing Carolyn Levitt is.
Speaker 5: She's a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just trying to make it a beef.
Speaker 1: See what I'm doing? The Okay, is it a question
Speaker 1: or a beef?
Speaker 10: No, this is a beef.
Speaker 1: Because my beef is that you said you had a question.
Speaker 5: Well, that was in lieu of my in in before
Speaker 5: my beef. That was the prelude to my beef.
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5: I know politicians for decades they have been in charge
Speaker 5: of the downward spiral of our economy. How is how
Speaker 5: is it that in three weeks a non elected businessman
Speaker 5: finds enormous amounts of graft and waste and abuse and
Speaker 5: the politicians are still dumbfounded by the whole thing?
Speaker 1: Can I Can I answer the question? Yes by looking.
Speaker 5: And one and not being involved in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, that's the beauty of having rich guys
Speaker 1: up there now. I mean when you you know, when
Speaker 1: you look at Trump and you look at Musk, you
Speaker 1: got two rich guys. They don't need anything anyone can offer.
Speaker 5: Them, but they know how to do stuff where these
Speaker 5: other people don't notice how the Republicans in these meetings,
Speaker 5: in these photo ops with the press, how happy they are,
Speaker 5: and how angry the Dems are every time they're on
Speaker 5: the TV.
Speaker 1: Or it's beautiful, It's beautiful, cowboy Bob, thank you, brother,
Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call. We're going to go ahead and
Speaker 1: keep it to the two callers we have left, and
Speaker 1: so this is it. Michael, you are the second to
Speaker 1: the last caller. What's the beef?
Speaker 12: Thank you, Kristen.
Speaker 4: My beef is pan of those that are looking with
Speaker 4: the Beating Book of Records, because they are all looking
Speaker 4: fine enough, because we are finding three hundred year old
Speaker 4: and one twenty and seventy year old resuming paychecks for
Speaker 4: this is a secuity, so they should be looking further
Speaker 4: about where these records are from beginning to regulars.
Speaker 1: I'd be lying to you if I said I fully
Speaker 1: understood what you said to me there, Michael, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not quite following you this time around.
Speaker 12: I said that the Guineas Book of Records, in terms
Speaker 12: of the ages that we are finding from a social
Speaker 12: security right, we should have been finding these people that
Speaker 12: are hearing something yet old from the records of the
Speaker 12: Guineas book.
Speaker 4: But we're not.
Speaker 12: But do just finding out for us.
Speaker 1: So that I'm now I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing that we have people collecting Social
Speaker 1: Security that's older than the country.
Speaker 4: That's true for inside.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Michael, I appreciate it. Sorry for
Speaker 1: not being able to follow you right away there, Ron,
Speaker 1: you're the final caller here. What's the beef?
Speaker 13: Hey, thank you pressing very much. You got to social
Speaker 13: Security money is all about your fraud what they're doing
Speaker 13: with it. But anyway, do we really need just fifty
Speaker 13: first state especially Canada?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 13: Do we want to open that fifty five gallon barrel
Speaker 13: of worms?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 13: On Now, I'm just they need to just shut up,
Speaker 13: but just go on about doing and get this fifties.
Speaker 13: We can't get fifty states straight. And they want to
Speaker 13: know one, especially that mess up there on break.
Speaker 1: But don't you don't you think Trump is just tweaking
Speaker 1: them a little bit.
Speaker 13: You could be right about that, that that's probably what
Speaker 13: it is. I mean, but still I don't want to
Speaker 13: know part of them people. I mean just think about it.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, here's the thing though, Ron, they captured part
Speaker 1: of that beach at at Normandy, and Canada has been
Speaker 1: generally very favorable neighbors for us. Sadly the citizens are
Speaker 1: are They're awakening there. They are starting to realize that
Speaker 1: this socialist stuff has led them down the wrong path.
Speaker 1: Now is it too late? I don't know.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Thank you for.
Speaker 13: Everything you do, because that Noon show them boys, God,
Speaker 13: I can't they suckles stop it?
Speaker 1: Oh Ron always he always says such kind, encouraging things
Speaker 1: about our program here, and I mean, who doesn't like
Speaker 1: to hear things said nicely about you? Right? But then
Speaker 1: man Clay and Buck, he's got the dagger and then
Speaker 1: he twists it. You know, if I just lifted the
Speaker 1: noises I've made in today's show and put them in
Speaker 1: a promo, that would be a really weird one minute probably.
Speaker 1: All right, we're done. We're gonna come back with the
Speaker 1: best and the worst. We've got a good news segment,
Speaker 1: We've got a dad joke, headlines from the Bee stick around.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great last thirty minutes of the
Speaker 1: Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show
Speaker 1: with Preston Scott. You know, for us here on the show,
Speaker 1: this is kind of an exhale moment. You know, when
Speaker 1: you when you've you've exerted and tried your best all
Speaker 1: week long and you get to the end of whatever
Speaker 1: it is you've been working on. It's that same feeling
Speaker 1: you get when you've mowed your grass, done some work
Speaker 1: in the yard and you just you've got things just
Speaker 1: looking the way and you just kind of step back
Speaker 1: and you go, yeah, I did that. So this final
Speaker 1: half hour, this is this is where we just kind
Speaker 1: of push away from the week just a little bit,
Speaker 1: just a little bit, and I know you're you've got
Speaker 1: the rest of your day for many of you, most
Speaker 1: of you, you've got the rest of your work day.
Speaker 1: I get it. So just kind of live vicariously through
Speaker 1: me for just a moment, just kind of a yeah, decompressed.
Speaker 1: This is our best and worst of the week. Jose
Speaker 1: you're up. I think I know what your worst is,
Speaker 1: but but let's.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so yeah, my best for the week, Uh is
Speaker 14: that unfortunate plane crash in Canada and everybody survived if
Speaker 14: I'm correct.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know, thank the Lord. And then my
Speaker 1: worst for the week.
Speaker 14: Is, you know, the the tooth. I gotta get my
Speaker 14: tooth pull today, so I'm not looking forward to that.
Speaker 14: But you you prayed over me this morning, and that
Speaker 14: did give me some solace. Uh so I'm not as scared.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, That's that's it for me. Just keep telling
Speaker 1: it yourself. I will not be afraid. There you go.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna start with my worst. My worst of
Speaker 1: the week is I'm sore. I'm not angry. I'm talking physically.
Speaker 1: I'm sore. I have been. Uh. I have been pushing
Speaker 1: myself a little bit. And as I said to my
Speaker 1: wife and some of our kids, I said, the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm sore says there's hope, there's still muscle there.
Speaker 1: At my advanced age, there's still something to be sore,
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for it. But it doesn't change the
Speaker 1: fact that I'm sore. I'm just I can't turn my head,
Speaker 1: I can't reach for anything. I can't I'm sore.
Speaker 10: I hurt.
Speaker 1: I sound like such a wiss, but I do. My
Speaker 1: best of the week is a tie between Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: announcing yesterday he is not seeking another term in office.
Speaker 1: I just I've decided I'm not going to run for real.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mitch, thank you, Marbles, you you, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. That that's that's that's a high mark for me.
Speaker 1: But this I broke the tie. One of the one
Speaker 1: of the research assistants, in fact, a research assistant supervisor
Speaker 1: on the program, Rob sent this to my attention and
Speaker 1: it came. It came as a fact check inside a
Speaker 1: Dinesh DESUSA and it's a post on on twics from
Speaker 1: Serena s who writes, ever, notice how gender reassignment surgery
Speaker 1: only offers two genders male or female. Friends, That is
Speaker 1: a stinking brilliant That point actually ends all of the
Speaker 1: debate because what it does is it drags everybody, sorry
Speaker 1: about the use of the word drags. It pulls. How
Speaker 1: about that? It pulls you right back to the fundamental
Speaker 1: instead of this, Well, wait a minute, we're just doing
Speaker 1: gender reassignment, so it's either male or female. So we're
Speaker 1: right back to where we started, male or female. It's
Speaker 1: a brilliant observation and I'm going to hold onto that
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. And that's my best
Speaker 1: of the week. Forty minutes past the hour. Good News
Speaker 1: is next gotta be a bass drummer scenario. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just felt it money on the program. Three conversations, Hm hmm,
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting. I don't know what will happen. I
Speaker 1: will be prepared for it to flame. I'll just I'll
Speaker 1: just say that up front. But our good News segment
Speaker 1: here in the program, I I admit I got a
Speaker 1: I've got a couple crush here. I there are a
Speaker 1: couple of couples that I just I just have such
Speaker 1: regard for and and I would love to have a
Speaker 1: conversation with, whether it's on the show or not. I
Speaker 1: would love to sit down and talk with Chip and
Speaker 1: Joanna Gaines, and I would love to sit and talk
Speaker 1: with Ben and Aaron Napier both their HDTV and now
Speaker 1: you know Chip and Joanna basically they own what is
Speaker 1: now Magnolia Network. It was DIY. They bought it basically
Speaker 1: and renamed it Magnolia. Now. What's the good news? Well,
Speaker 1: here it is. Back in January twenty twenty, Ben and
Speaker 1: Aaron did a spin off of their show called Hometown Takeover.
Speaker 1: They had submissions from over twenty six hundred small towns
Speaker 1: across the country, saying, please come to our city. The
Speaker 1: town had to be smaller than forty thousand and needed
Speaker 1: a help, a boost, and this first one it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, these submissions were almost heartbreaking in and of themselves.
Speaker 1: In the case of Wetumpka, Alabama, about eighteen miles to
Speaker 1: the northeast of Montgomery, like a lot of small towns,
Speaker 1: people leaving, not staying, not coming. A big tornado all
Speaker 1: but leveled parts of the town. It's a beautiful little city.
Speaker 1: I've not seen it in person, but with Tumka was
Speaker 1: selected as the hometown Takeover. And the good news is
Speaker 1: that after the Hometown Takeover, where Ben and Aaron and
Speaker 1: some other designers and builders from HGTV they show up
Speaker 1: and they invest in this town, and they pick multiple
Speaker 1: projects and they pour their heart into them and they
Speaker 1: give it a bit of a boost. It's basically taking
Speaker 1: the recipe of what Ben and Aaron have done in Laurel, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: Now we've been to Laurel and I've talked with some
Speaker 1: of the people that have been on that show, and
Speaker 1: it's really spectacular to see what they've done in that
Speaker 1: small community. And now what Tumpk is out there saying Hey,
Speaker 1: look at us, because they've kind of crossed over back
Speaker 1: to becoming a place in the words of the city
Speaker 1: Ben and Aaron, Hometown Takeover helped put us back on
Speaker 1: the map. Well, a new show is coming, Hometown Takeover
Speaker 1: in March on HGTV, and they're taking on Seabring Florida.
Speaker 1: Can't wait, cannot wait. Here's my point. This is a
Speaker 1: television show that's redemptive. It's someone that's taking what they have,
Speaker 1: their platform, and they're leveraging it to help people. And
Speaker 1: I've got on my blog page the story of a
Speaker 1: guy who started to help people and it turned into
Speaker 1: an incredible business. And he still just does one thing.
Speaker 1: He helps people, and that's his business. And the fact
Speaker 1: that you can make a business of helping people, that's
Speaker 1: good news. Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott
Speaker 1: that Monday, another edition of The Morning Show. And I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I'm not doing a traditional dad joke here because
Speaker 1: I just I can't help myself.
Speaker 15: I remember the story of the fella here A while
Speaker 15: ago was running for Congress as a Republican. He stopped
Speaker 15: by a farm to do some campaigning, and when the
Speaker 15: farmer heard he was a Republican. His jaw dropped and
Speaker 15: he said, wait right here. He said, while I get ma,
Speaker 15: she's never seen a Republican before, so he got mod
Speaker 15: The candidate looked around for a podium to give his
Speaker 15: speech from. The only thing he could find was a
Speaker 15: pile of that stuff that best crewman took thirty five
Speaker 15: years trying.
Speaker 1: To get Harry to call fertilizer.
Speaker 15: So he got up on the mound and when they
Speaker 15: came back, he gave his speech. End of it. The
Speaker 15: farmer says, that's the first time I've ever heard of
Speaker 15: Republican speech. Candidate said, that's the first time I've ever
Speaker 15: given a Republican speech from a Democratic platform.
