Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's Monday, and boy is it ever Monday. Hello friends,
Welcome March thirty, first final day of the month. Here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scot Show fifty three
forty seven. He is Jose, I am Preston. I would
love to know how many red, white, and blue themed

(00:25):
shirts are in your wardrobe, sir? About three?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Really?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Four?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Really, I would have guessed at the minimum ten. My
favorite ones the one Jordan got me though, has guns
in the stripe stripes. Of course, Let's start with some
scripture Isaiah fifty three, five and six. And what I
want you to think about here is this was written

(00:59):
hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus. So as
you listen to this, this describes something that if you

(01:21):
want to try to suggest that Jesus just intentionally claimed
he was the son of God and he cherry picked
some things that he was going to claim that he fulfilled,
et cetera, just consider this set of verses which point

(01:42):
to the number of things that happened in Christ's life
that he had zero control of. You know, you could
be dismissive and say, well, he wrote in on a
donkey on what we now think of is Palm Sunday

(02:04):
because he could. He knew the scriptures and he just
chose to do that. Fair enough, you could say that,
but what about this? But he was pierced for our transgressions.
Hold on, now, pierced? How did he have control over

(02:32):
the Roman guards piercing his side when he died on
the cross to make sure he was dead. He was
crushed for our iniquities. Upon him was the chastisement that
brought us peace. And with his wounds we are healed.

(02:52):
All we like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned
everyone to his own way, and the Lord has laid
on him the iniquity of us, all before Jesus ever came.

(03:13):
Those words were written by Isaiah, who is giving us
a clear portrait in part of the Messiah. What astounds

(03:33):
me is that Jews can read that and know that
and go, Nah, wasn't him? Ten past the hour, Take
a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac. Get the Monday

(03:57):
Show started. Got to take a deep breath. It's been
quite a morning around here. It's the Morning Show with
President Scott. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Okay,

(04:29):
just about twelve past the hour. Just a weird start
to the day around here for me. I couldn't get
a word out. I do a bunch of pre show production,
and it's not like it's a massive amount, but it's

(04:50):
something that has to be done every day. And I
do the local news for those of you in the
Panama City area or outside. I do the news for
us because I'm very picky and I don't like the
news that's provided to us because it's not it doesn't
cover anything local, and I don't like it. And so

(05:13):
even though it's a pain in the butt because it
takes a while to write the news, there are times
that I don't write it particularly well, at least by
my standards. And so I put it to rest and
then come in and kind of work on it again

(05:34):
and rewrite a little bit. And then I tried to
do it and it was just coming out sideways. I
might as well have been speaking Swahili. And I got
so frustrated, and it was everything everything I tried to
do was just like And I got plenty of rest.

(05:58):
I had the sweetest dream, just the just the sweetest,
kindest dream about my sweet wife and I, in fact,
she kind of woke up when I when I was
leaving this morning, and I told her about it, and
but it's like, I mean, there's no reason other than

(06:18):
just it's like I had paste on my tongue. So
just suffice to say, you're getting the better version of me,
because an hour ago it was ugly, ugly. So anyway,

(06:39):
my dad used to say, one day I spent a
week in Cleveland. Cleveland wasn't his favorite city to visit,
and so he would he would always describe a bad
day as well, one day I spent a week in Cleveland.
It's so that's yeah. Uh, let's see March thirty first,

(07:02):
eighteen fifty four, in Tokyo, commodore Matthew Perry signs a
treaty opening Japanese ports to American trade by the way,
renewing a little bit of strategic uh huh uh huh
with Japan, which is very good news for US. Talk

(07:24):
more about that as week goes on. Perhaps eighteen eighty Wabash, Indiana,
becomes the first US town with a totally electric street
light system, four street lights powered by a steam engine. Well,
thank you very much. Eighteen ninety six, Chicago inventor Whitcomb

(07:45):
Judson Patten's the hookless fastener in an early form of
a zipper. Who thinks of the zipper now, I mean
look at a zipper and marvel at it because someone
thought of that. Thank you who ever invented zippers Chicago.

(08:13):
That was a Chicago inventor. There. A nineteen thirty three
Congress established as the Civilian Conservation Corps helped put men
to work during the depression. Nineteen seventy explorer won the
first US satellite re enters the atmosphere after twelve years
in orbit, and in nineteen seventy three, President Nixon ords
John Ford the Medal of Freedom. John Ford was a

(08:41):
beloved director of Hollywood films like Young Mister Lincoln, The
Grapes of Wrath, The Searchers, the Man who Shot Liberty Vans.
But he also served in the Navy during World War Two,
and so yeah, good stuff there real quick, here it is.

(09:02):
It is National Crayon Day. Totally completely underrated a crayon,
crayon the art of coloring with a crayon, I mean,
it's art, It's incredible. I'm surprised there aren't more artists,
I mean, like really good artists that don't use crayons,

(09:25):
because I think it's a brilliant medium. It really is
not the mess of paint, more control like a pencil,
but it has it has the ability to kind of
colorize the way that say, water colors do not exactly.
I mean, water colors are very different. But National prom Day,

(09:45):
National Clams on the halfshell Day, National Bunsen Burner Day,
and National Tater Day. So have yourself tater seventeen past
the hour talked about the weekend and remind you of
some golf coming up. I mentioned having a just a

(10:13):
very sweet dream about my wife. We're going to talk
about dreams next hour. Love to hear from you. Came
across an epic Times piece research about dreams, those who remember,
those who don't. I don't know that I believe much

(10:33):
of what I read, but I thought it was an
interesting topic and it really broke down into people who
remember their dreams and people who don't. And I would
just be curious to know. I don't need to know
details of dreams, that's not the point of the call,
because dreams could get really weird, but I would love

(10:55):
to know whether you remember your dreams or not, and
what you make of that, whether you do or you don't,
and whether you've noticed any patterns like I've I've I've
noticed certain things about dreams for me and and so anyway,
we'll take some calls next hour about that. FSU baseball

(11:18):
got absolutely pounded on Friday night at Notre Dame. I mean,
Jamie Arnold had a sketchy outing again, and I don't
know if that's caused for concern for the staff at
FSU link Jarrett Mike Posy, the pitching coach, but he's
been hit pretty hard a couple times now in a row,

(11:41):
so they got you know, he got pulled after only
giving up two runs, but I think the bases were
loaded when he left the game and then the floodgates
opened up. It was just brutal. And I'm not sure
what's going on with the the bullpen pitching. I think
the bullpen's real tired right now. It just seems that way,

(12:04):
and so I don't know if they have the depth
that they need in the bullpen yet. But they did
come back and win the next two to win the
series at Notre Dame, no small accomplishment. They were up
sixteen to three after four innings in Game two yesterday
they had bump bumped the games. They were thinking they
were gonna play both Saturday because of bad weather. Well

(12:24):
the bad weather came in fast and then they were
able to play two shortened games, seven inning games on Sunday.
So yesterday they took the pair, but they were up
seventeen to three, sixteen to three, ended up ended up
giving up nine runs or something like that. It's like,
what come on now, you gotta be able to shut
teams down anyway. FSU softball sweeps NC. Stayed at home.

(12:49):
They're unbeaten. I think they've won fifteen in a row
or something crazy like that, so they're unbeaten in acc play.
So that's good stuff. Got some stuff done out in
the yard. Worked on repairing a rocking chair for my son.
He didn't know that I took it from his backyard,
but I swiped it. I looked at it. I was like, ooh,

(13:12):
that's that's in danger. And that took some some work
and I don't know if I fixed it fixed it.
It was pretty rotten out. I think it was one
of those you know, they found they kind of rescued
a chair from somebody or something. I don't know, but
it's the type of thing that Jose usually grabs, only

(13:33):
I don't know if he would have grabbed this thing,
but at any rate, it's it's been at least for
now repaired. So it was for me a busy little
project weekend. I just got some little things done around
the yard. And I love puttering around in my yard.
It's just for not having a really big yard. I

(13:56):
mean we have maybe a third of an acre, and
and of course part of that is the house sitting
on it. There's just a lot to deal with and
I love it, but I don't I'd love to just
not have so much to do. But it's all right.
Golf tournament they need fifteen more players. Now they have

(14:19):
a field, they're playing the tournament, so we don't have
to worry about that. The FSU Hockey Club is doing
a fundraising event at Capital City one week from today
and so they need three more teams and three more
individuals to sign up. So we got one team signed

(14:41):
up the end of last week, where we're looking for
at least three more teams. We'd love to get a
full field. And it goes to the FSU Ice Hockey Club.
Just helping defhrase some of the expenses of playing club hockey.
The sweaters are cool. And if you don't know what
I mean, jerseys in hockey, they're called sweaters and they're

(15:05):
pretty cool. They absolutely are. But if you'd like to play,
just go to FSU hockey dot com and there's a
tab there for the golf tournament. All right, so sign up,
get your team together. It'll be for a very good cause.
Help the fellas skate on some ice. Don't you know

(15:36):
the things we are learning? Third hour we've got SALNWZO
legislative session is it's to me is a train wreck
because Republicans are just shooting themselves in the foot left
and right. They're just making the entire session look foolish

(15:58):
and silly and and childish. And they seem to be
more concerned about their personal spaces and positions and power
than they are what's best for the people of Florida

(16:19):
getting things done. And it's a dog on shame. They
are it all away. I edited myself. That's why it
sounded like they are ruining the super majority. They will
lose it if they continue at this rate, and then

(16:43):
at some point they will lose majority. Now, the only
thing that will keep them in majority is the ineptitude
of the other side, but rest assured that arrogance, that
level of arrogance, God will not allow it. It's just

(17:05):
there's a law of sowing and reaping here. So we'll
talk about the legislative session. We'll try to focus on
the things that the big picture items. With sal Newzo,
federal judges stopped the shutdown a Voice of America. Of course,

(17:27):
see they court shop, and in this case, Judge J.
Paul Oatken of the Southern District of New York issued
a temporary restraining order in favor of employees and the
unions of Voice of America. The order prevents the US
Agency for Global Media. Why do we have one? No, really,

(17:51):
why do we have one? From shutting down the Voice
of America and its associated radio pro Here's what's interesting,
though about the order. In the order, he wrote, by
withholding funds statutorily appropriated to fully administer the Voice of
America and its affiliates, the executive is usurping Congress's power

(18:13):
of the purse and its legislative supremacy. The judge did
not require Voice of America to resume broadcasts, but he
made it clear that employees must not be terminated while
the court determines whether it shut down violates the Constitution. See,
I think he's wrong. And here's why I think he's wrong.

(18:34):
There may be congressionally appropriated money, but that doesn't mean
that the executive can't shut down. Now it's up to
Congress to reallocate that money. There's no power of the
purse string issue here. But we'll see. This is just
another This is a wonderful example of how addicted this

(18:57):
country is to government. And I get it. The employees,
I get it. I would be handling this differently, but
I would be doing the same thing. And I guess,
I guess you could argue this is the equivalent of
ripping off the band aid. There are people that believe, know,
you just pull it off a little bit at a time,

(19:18):
and you just make it, you know, as painless as possible.
There are others that say, now rip the thing off,
get it over with, and no matter which way you lean,
both get the same thing done. One gets it done quicker,
with more pain, the other gets it done with less

(19:38):
pain and slower. The end result is the same. I
am generally a rip the band aid off guy. That's
what I do personally in my life. But the fact
of the matter is this is an argument that Tomato Tomato,
I mean whatever. I would have handled it differently, But
the end goal is the exact same thing for me,

(20:01):
and that is we have too much government and we
don't need the Voice of America. Voice of America was
largely a propaganda machine. We don't need it anymore. We
have social media. We just we don't need it, especially
if it's going to do the bidding of our enemies.

(20:23):
And then Tim Walls calling for a shadow government to
counter Donald Trump. Really ironic that we have a Democrat
calling for a shadow government, because that's all they've been
running since Barack Obama left. This is the first time
since Obama was in office that we don't have an
actual shadow government working. Walls wants to go back to it.

(20:47):
Forty one minutes past. Those are the big stories.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Oh.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Wow, Randy Fine on Fox and Friends. They are desperate.
There's some polling out there that says that he's trailing
in a district that is maybe described as ruby red.

(21:21):
Because he's his own worst enemy. Randy Fine is a
train wreck half of the time, and so this is
all about we need a favor. Him being on Fox
and Friends is we need a favor. Like I said,
he's his own worst enemy. Let me let me give

(21:45):
you a quick little I had my mind blown this
weekend because while I was working in the art. Sorry
I've told you before, I listened to some podcasts on iHeartRadio.
There are some incredible podcasts available now. One of my

(22:09):
faves is a podcast called Haunted Cosmos, and I just
started the twenty twenty four season, which means I'm behind.
I always I tend to find a podcast and then
I go to the very beginning of it because I
don't like picking up on a podcast that's been around

(22:31):
as it's in. I don't like stuff that they refer
to something that they've talked about previously, and I have
no idea what they're talking about. So I want to
know in sequence all the topics, all the things they've covered.
And I don't know if you've ever heard of have

(22:51):
you ever heard of something called mk Ultra? I hadn't.
The depths of that program and the outright evil it

(23:12):
engaged in that is documented. We don't know all, but
we know enough and they devoted two episodes basically to
this program that the United States government, the CIA, the

(23:34):
military got engaged in as a result of World War Two,
and then it expanded after the war. And let's just
say that some of the experimentation got outside the control
of the federal government. It's horrifying. It is absolutely horrifying.

(24:10):
And this ties to something else that we'll talk about
this week, and it's the nature of the deep state.
You know, we were just talking about Tim Wallas in
the shadow government. It's like, whatever, dude, tell me something
I don't know. It's disturbing, it is troubling, and so

(24:47):
it all kind of ties together, and it's why there
is this resistance to Donald Trump and this look from
the out outside. They don't want anyone to look from
the outside. And I'll be honest with you, this would
be one reason among many why I would never consider

(25:09):
being a member of Congress because I choose life my
personality type. I could end up dead because our government
doesn't seem to want people to know what it does.
And it's pretty scary. And that's why these efforts should

(25:34):
not be fought by the radicals on the left, should
be embraced those should be embraced by every side of
the political spectrum, but it's not Why Why is George
Soros funding these efforts? Why are these groups fighting so hard?

(25:57):
Forty seven minutes past change, get ready for a set
of phone calls, hopefully from you next wufla uh sal
newsoh third hour, doctor Joe Camp's next hour, and your

(26:19):
calls if you want to join me in this conversation,
I thought it would be interesting to kick around the
idea on why some remember their dreams and some don't.
The claim that researchers make is that everybody dreams every night.

(26:44):
I don't know that I agree with that, but I'm
also you know. I mean, I'm just a guy who
goes to sleep every night. I mean, it's not my
field of expertise, but I will tell you that I
am someone that tends to remember my dreams. Now, I

(27:08):
can't tell you what I dreamt three weeks ago, but
I can usually recall parts of a dream that I
had the night before. There are other people that they
know they dreamed, but the second they wake up, it's
like it's wiped, Like a computer is wiped of memory.

(27:33):
It's just gone. Or if you hand them a piece
of paper and a pencil. They're like, I, I just
know that I dreamed something, but they can't recall. And
then there are others that are like, I never dream
now again. I have my own set of theories on
all of this, But there's research. And research has existed

(27:58):
since people started making notes on anything on Paprius on
you know, with with charcoal on a leaf or so.
I mean, people have been thinking about dreams and the
significance of them or the or the purpose behind them

(28:19):
for a long time. And and I came across this
thing in Epic Times in their in their health section,
and it said, why do some people remember their dreams
while others forget? Research is uncovering why we dream, who
remembers the best, and how to improve recall. And so
I'm just curious to get your thoughts on the topic
of dreaming. Do you care? Are you interested by it?

(28:41):
Do you fundamentally do you remember your dreams? And if so,
how often? And if you've ever given thought to why
you remember sometimes or maybe others you don't. And again,
I don't want to know about any dream at all.
I don't. That's not the point of the call. What

(29:02):
I want to know is where do you fall in
this research formulation that's going on. Do you remember your dreams?
If so, how often? If you don't, do you ever?
If so, how often? And what are your thoughts on

(29:25):
the whole topic altogether? Are dreams useful? Are they entertaining?
Are they distracting? Are they troubling? Eight five zero two
zero five to WFLA eight five zero two zero five
ninety three fifty two, ninety three fifty two. The topic
is dreams. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(30:07):
It's the second hour of the Morning Show with Preston's
Cockod Morning Friends, I hope you had a nice weekend
and a good night of sleep. That's Hose over there
taking your calls at eight five zero two zero five
WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.
I'm not going to belabor this, but I would love

(30:28):
to hear from some of you who are willing to
share your thoughts on the subject of dreams. And what
prompted this was an article in Epic Times and it
asks why do some people remember their dreams while others forget?
And we're using that as kind of our baseline to

(30:48):
talk about dreams in general, not specific dreams that you have.
I'm not here to interpret anything that's not no, but Ellen,
thanks for calling in. Do you remember your dreams or
do you not?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
By Well, obviously the ones I do remember, you know,
oftentimes it's it's not when I'm under a lot of stress.
But and I I don't necessarily remember right away, Like
some of the day will go by, and then something
will happen and then all of it will come into

(31:24):
my head. Really right, It's really strange because I don't
just wake up and think, oh, I'm having a dream
or I had a dream. It's a It's a really
strange thing. And some of the time the dream feels
so real that a couple events will happen, I think, oh,
that didn't happen at all. But yeah, it's for me

(31:46):
most of the time. I seem to remember my dreams
when I'm under stress, and the dreams like people will
be in the dreams from my daily life, but not
in their normal positions.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Gotcha, Yeah, tell me this. Do you remember as a
young adult, a teenager or child having dreams and remembering them?

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh, gosh, I'm older, so I don't really remember a
lot from when I was a kid. Now I can't
say for sure, certainly when I was in college, but
I can't say whether when I was younger or not.
Oh you know what, that's a lie. So yes, I remember.
The only dreams I remember when I was a kid

(32:34):
was like the drowning dream.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Okay, but I was drowning.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
I never died though, right, So yes, I did have
dreams when I was a kid, and I did remember.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
It's okay, one more question for you. Do you do
you find that when you realize that you have dreamed
the night before that, even though you're suggesting that it's
stress related for you, do you remember whether you slept
particularly well or not at all?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
I know often that's not well.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Okay, that's interesting, right.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Okay, because but I think we dream when we're in
that deep sleep.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
So I don't I don't know, yeah, because that's that's me.
I can.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
You know.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
I've got one of those sleep number beds that tells you,
you know, it gives you some data on how well
you slept, And I can almost guarantee when I've slept
in the nineties because I remember my dreams and I
tend to know my to dream and remember them when
I've been in really deep sleep and haven't moved hardly

(33:41):
at all through the night. And so, but Ellen, thanks
very much. I appreciate you calling in this morning. Let's
go to Lee. Lee, what do you think about this?

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Well, Preston, you know, I mean, is there our spiritual war?
Our reality is the spiritual world no different than a
Doctor Strange movie, and there's just different planes that we
can't see past. I have some silly dreams, and those
seem to be the ones I don't really remember a
whole lot of and those seem to happen more on

(34:10):
nights where I don't sleep.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Well, Okay, I have some.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
I have some. Sometimes I have some some very I've
been married a long time, and sometimes I have some
very intimate dreams. Sometimes I I can dream something, wake
up and write it down or or voice a note
to myself and my phone, because I could pretty much

(34:35):
write a movie on it, really and yeah, and then
sometimes it's just the same old dream where the abominable
snowman throws me off a cliff. And that's happened since
I was a child, and I'm an old man now,
and I've probably dreamed that dream at least half a
dozen times in my life.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
That's funny, or maybe it's not, but it is, Yeah,
it is.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
But I'm not exactly going mountain climbing or over in
India any times.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I gotcha, Lee, Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that. That
was a great, great storyteller. There we've got Jeff, then Fran.
We've got a line open, eight five zero. We're just
talking dreams, just nothing, just interesting to me. Do you
remember your dreams? Why do some remember and others forget?
Have you ever given much thought to the whole topic?

(35:26):
At all eight five zero two zero five WFLA. It's

(35:51):
the second hour of the Morning Show with Preston's cock
in Morning Friends. I hope you had a nice weekend
and a good night of sleep. That's Hose over there
taking your calls at eight five zero two zero five
WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
Into my head.

The only dreams I remember when I was a kid
was like the drowning dream.

Speaker 5 (38:19):
Okay, so I was drowning.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I never died though, right, So yes, I did have
dreams when I was a kid, and I did remember.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's okay. One more question for you. Do you do
you find that when you realize that you have dreamed
the night before that, even though you're suggesting that it's
stress related for you, do you remember whether you slept
particularly well or not at all?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
I know oftentimes it's not.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, okay, that's interesting, right, okay.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Because but I think we dream when we're in that
deep sleep. So I don't.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
I don't know, yeah, because that's that's me. I can
you know. I've got one of those sleep number beds
that tells you, you know, it gives you some data
on how well you slept, and I can almost guarantee
when I've slept in the nineties because I remember my dreams,
and I tend to know my to dream and remember

(39:20):
them when I've been in really deep sleep and haven't
moved hardly at all through the night. And so, but Ellen,
thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in this morning.
Let's go to Lee. Lee, what do you think about this?

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Well? In Preston, you know, I mean, is there our
spiritual war? Our reality is the spiritual world no different
than a Doctor Strange movie, and there's just different planes
that we can't see past. I have some silly dreams,
and those seem to be the ones I don't really
remember a whole lot of and those seem to happen

(39:54):
more on nights where I don't sleep. Well, Okay, I
have some. I have some. Sometimes I have some some
very I've been married a long time, and sometimes I
have some very intimate dreams. Sometimes I can dream something,
wake up and write it down or or voice a

(40:16):
note to myself and my phone, because I could pretty
much write a movie on it, really and yeah, and
then sometimes it's just the same old dream where the
abominable snowman throws me off a cliff, and that's happened
since I was a child, and I'm an old man now,
and I've probably dreamed that dream at least half a
dozen times in my life.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
That's funny, or maybe it's not, but it is, Yeah,
it is.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
But I'm not exactly going mountain climbing or over in
India anytime.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Since I got youa lee, Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that.
That was great, great storyteller. There, we've got Jeff, then
fran We've got a line open, eight five zero. We're
just talking dreams. Nothing just interesting to me. Do you
remember your dreams? Why do some remember and others forget?
Have you ever given much thought to the whole topic

(41:10):
at all? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA Do
you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
On use radio one hundred point seven UFLA. Science has

(41:30):
long been fascinated by the topic of dreams. Why some
people recall their dreams in like hi res four k
detail and others huh? Chinese culture has strong thoughts on it,
Egyptian culture strong thoughts on it. The Bible has a
lot to say on dreams. There's actually going back to

(41:52):
the eighteen nineties, research on the subject actual research where
people were literally in settings where their sleep was analyzed. Jeff,
what about you.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Well, something I've always done basically my whole life is
a lot of times I can direct my dreams. I
can actually make it go one way.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
Or the other.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
You're kidding.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
And now, sometimes I will wake up and I will say, uh,
this is a good one. Close your eye. I mean,
in other words, just just be real still and my
dream will resume after I wake up and something else
that I've I've done. And this is like a just

(42:40):
a mental thing. But sometimes if I'm having a traumatic,
you know, bad dream, I will actually consciously make it
worse to see how much I can endure.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
You. You can intentionally make a dream worse.

Speaker 7 (42:58):
Yeah, like you know bad dream?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Really tell me this, now, are those dreams that are
traumatic based on real life experiences or are they based
on things that maybe you've seen or read?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Right?

Speaker 1 (43:12):
It's a mishmash, okay, So what does it leave you
thinking when it's all said and done, What are your
thoughts on the topic of your dreams?

Speaker 7 (43:23):
You know, like get in the Bible, a lot of
a lot of history and a lot of a lot
of decisions were made based on dreams, and so there's
got to be something to it.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Okay, fair enough, Thank you. I appreciate you sharing that, Jeff.
Let's go to fran Hi. Fran, thanks for being patient.
Are you someone who remembers your dreams each and every
night or every now and then or not at all?

Speaker 8 (43:48):
I generally remember them every night I dream in color.
Generally the dream has something to do about family. Okay,
it's it's something that gives me peace.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Really, I've dreamed.

Speaker 8 (44:03):
Since Yes, I've dreamed since childhood in color, things that
were just naturally built in for my abilities, my God
given abilities, and they were things I can remember floor
plans of dreams that I dreamed in fifth grade. I'm
in my mid fifties. I think there's a purpose in

(44:23):
dream going back to the Bible. I love the dream
Some of them are just enjoyable, like seeing my grown
child as a three year old and getting to relive
those times. And some of them are something where I'll

(44:45):
dream about somebody because I have a big decision to make,
but my family won't tell me anything. They're like. In fact,
one of times I dreamed and I saw someone in
my family, and I said, what should I do, and
my family member said, no, you need to live and
make your decisions as you make them, and I was.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Like, we got about thirty seconds here. Let me just
ask a quick question. Do you ever have a dream
that is not so warm and fuzzy, and if so,
how do you process it?

Speaker 8 (45:20):
Yes? I have some they're not so warm and fuzzy,
and I am conscious enough to tell.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
It to stop.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Really, so you're like our previous caller. You can to
a certain extent kind of work through that by just
sort of mind over dream.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
Yes, yes, and just putting a stop to it.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Interesting. Thanks Thanks Ranf for calling in and sharing you
bet all right, we've got more callers standing by. We're
gonna stop with the three callers we have. That's it
won't be able to fit a fourth in because this
is taking a little more time, and I want you
to have just a little bit of time. So we
have Bob and then Linda and then Jerry in the

(46:03):
next segment here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott

(46:34):
taking calls on the topic of dreams. And I want
to get right back to the phone lines, and Bob
has been very patient. Bob, are you a dreamer?

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Sometimes? Yes, sometimes no, And this goes on the verge
of recurring nightmare slash dream. Okay, back in your wife's state.
In college, you could drop a class within a certain
date and then it would count against your you know.

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Your credits, your college record whatsoever. But if you forgot
to do it by that specific date, it was like
you know, being Cinderella and Raponzel or whatever, and boom
you got the bad grade. And usually, you know say
it was usually somebody would consider this if they were
getting a D or an F or whatever, and mine
was calculous and for some reason, Yo, I still have

(47:24):
that dream every so often. And then you you know,
at the dinner table, like say Thanksgiving, Christmas, you talk
to people and they have a recurring dream. But it's
interesting to hear what theirs is.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
It's fun how certain things just anchor themselves in our
subconscious or even our conscious and we dream about them
in a recurring status like that. Do you remember dreams
routinely or just every now and.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Then every now and then sometimes you know, like there's
zero dreams and then other nights it's like you know, boom,
boom boom.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Interesting do you sleep well when you dream or do
you sleep lightly?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I would say combination of both.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Now, somebody told me that what you dream about a
lot of times is usually one of the last few
things that you were, say, reading, watching TV, whatever.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Huh. I've never found that to be the case. But interesting. Hey,
thanks for calling in, Bob. I appreciate it very much.
Let's see here, we got time for two more. Let's
start here with Linda.

Speaker 10 (48:23):
Hi, Linda, Hey, how are you this morning?

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Terrific? So are you a every night I remember a dream.
I seldom remember a dreamer. I never remember a dream.

Speaker 10 (48:34):
I almost never remember a dream. But I sleep really
good every night.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
But kind of like the lady.

Speaker 10 (48:44):
That said before, something will happen and it's like deja vous,
this has already happened, I remember. I'm assuming it must
be from a dream. Sometimes.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Interesting, Now, do you how much?

Speaker 8 (49:00):
Now?

Speaker 10 (49:00):
When I was a kid, I used to dream that
I could fly all the time, and they were so real,
you know, sometimes you'd try to jump off a furniture
and see if you could fly.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
So how much weight do you put to your dreams?

Speaker 10 (49:17):
Well, I don't remember them until you know something happens,
And then I say, you know that has already happened.
I remember, you know, somebody can say something or you
like to see an accident or an almost accident, and
you say, you know I saw that before. So but
I don't remember dreaming. I don't remember dreaming at all.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
Now.

Speaker 10 (49:36):
My husband used to dream. He was a law enforcement
and I could feel when he got tense in bed
and he would start kicking from a dog against it
und or something that happened years ago. So he used
to dream about things that happened in the past.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Interesting, Linda, Thanks very much. I appreciate you calling. Yeah,
we had someone that couldn't stay on the line that
was law enforcement for formerly, and talked about how you know,
as time goes by, the the dreams lesson from the experiences.
And I can only imagine that you you know, you
have recurring dreams when you're in high stress situations like that.

(50:17):
I've got to believe that imposes itself on your subconscious
in such a way that you dream about it. But
our final caller here is Jerry. Hi, Jerry, Hey, how's
it going good?

Speaker 6 (50:29):
So sometimes biblical not that often. Definitely ability to rejoin
a dream after I've woken up, go back to sleep
and get back into the same dream again.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Or does it happen accidentally?

Speaker 6 (50:45):
Oh no, No, if it's a good dream, sometimes I'm
trying to get back in that thing.

Speaker 7 (50:49):
Man, I'm like, I'm like, there.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
Not too many scary dreams. Definitely some some demonic stuff
in the past. Those weren't dreams that was reality. And
been married for a long time, old my sp we've
had a few people in the family die, and a
couple of times my spouse has had premonition dreams that
it was going to happen before it happened.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Wow. So overall, how much how much weight do you
place on a dream that you have?

Speaker 6 (51:27):
Sometimes they perplex me and I'll give it a lot
of consideration. But most of the time, unless I feel
like it's almost like trying to warn me about something,
I don't give.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
It a lot of thought.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Nice, all right, Jerry well Well said, appreciate it. I
think that's kind of where I'm at. There are occasional
dreams that I know something's up, and I try to
I ask God for wisdom, insight, discernment if he wants
me to have it, and you know, if it's of him.

(52:09):
But I probably would say that the majority of the
dreams that I have aren't like that where I sense
that in any way, shape or form. But it's an
interesting topic. I'll just put it that way, And if
you want to read more, there's again. It's a piece
in Epic Times, in the Epic Health if you're so
inclined to dig it up, and it's called why do

(52:31):
some people remember their dreams while others forget? Twenty eight
minutes past the hour? Or you may be from Florida
Sunshine State to California. Hey, scratch that, California is hopeless.

(52:51):
For the rest, We're your Morning show, The Morning Show
with Preston Scott. We take a second longer here on
this story of Tim Walls calling for a shadow government,

(53:13):
given a speech in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Who's showing up
to listen to him? He's no, really, he's not right.
I feel bad for him because he doesn't seem to
be aware of how off he is. We see one
of the first things they try to do is restrict

(53:34):
the vote. This is one of the things though, that
this is going to take power industry to I don't
know what the answer is on this, but I'm kind
of I've been saying this. I think we need a
shadow government. So when all these things come up every
single day, we've got an alternate press telling us the
truth on the things that are happening, to tell them

(53:55):
what's going on. Wh question, Mark, what what are you
talking about? Shadow government or press? By the way, you
own the press, they're all in the tank for you,
with the exception of moments on Fox and Newsmax, the

(54:19):
independent outlets that are online, they're just trying to put
their thumb on the scale to balance out the overwhelming
left side of the media. It's but do you want
power industry? What are you talking about? And I'll tell
you who answered the question? His son in the same Listen, Now,

(54:43):
this is brilliant. In this same speech, Tim Walls says
the following I was having one of those dad talks
with him, his eighteen year old son. I was giving
Gus my wisdom on what he had done wrong, you know,
because I know these things right, I'm a dad. And

(55:06):
in the middle of it, he gives me the old quote.
This is his son says the guy who got his
bleep kicked by Donald Trump. Gus, you are my hero, brother,

(55:29):
You are absolutely my hero. District judges once again slowing
down the agenda of thinning out this government. We have
a massive issue here, and that is that they are
court shopping and finding places to file suit where somebody

(55:53):
is affected. And then the judge takes the case or
is assigned the case that is sympathetic to it. And
so now the voice of America cannot be closed. Well,
of course it can. The judge wrongfully applies the idea that, well,
this is a reallocation of money that Congress has has

(56:18):
spent on this. Therefore, well, what we're not taking money
and reallocating it. We're saying it doesn't have to be
spent because we don't do this anymore. Congress still has
control of the purse strings. Is we are watching the
classic battle of the separation of powers between the executive,

(56:41):
the judicial, and the legislative. And so we'll see where
this all goes. Forty minutes past the hour, Joe Camp's
standing by next with healthy expectations on the Morning Show.
The idea is to have some healthy expectations, and we
are joined by doctor Joe Camps.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
Good morning, sir, Good morning, how are you today, Preston.
I'm terrific, I'm enjoying NCAA maddenness. But you know the
month of March is also cancer Awareness month for colon cancer.
I haven't talked about that in a long long time,
but it's worth mentioning because it's the second most common

(57:24):
cancer and it's the third of death in those that
are less than fifty years of age. Now, the reason
I think this one is so important is that if
this is detected early, the survival rate on this is
ninety percent. Unheard of. But the issue is, and you
probably know, is early detection. Now some of the risk

(57:45):
factors for this, obviously, or as you increase in age
to those that are over the age of seventy years
of age, that's how risk. If you have a family history,
if you have conditions like infectious disease of a colon,
certainly that that can be a risk factor. Obviously, large

(58:05):
consumptions of red meat, alcohol, and smoking almost that's on
every cancer list. Certainly it fits for this. And the
issue is, I don't know if you've had one, but
it's it's not the most pleasant thing you've ever done
in your life because you have to have a colonoscopy
and obviously you know the prep work for colonoscopy. I

(58:27):
think I wouldn't wish that on my enemy because that's
a pretty wicked treatment UH and a preparation issue. But
certainly if you can get past that and have a colonoscopy,
they obviously screen for abnemalities such as polyps and and
perhaps take biopsies if needed for early detection of UH.

(58:48):
Colon cancer. Now, one of the things that you can
do if you if you just are not wanting to
go to the doctors, you can get these imminohistical tests,
the stool test, yeah, which look for abnormalities in DNA
and color guard is one. He's a fecal immino histochemical test,

(59:12):
and you can get these at any place that that
sales medical products. But certainly you can do this at home.
It is convenient, it's non invasive, and the cost is
really minimal. But would recommend if you haven't had a colonosity,
or if you're ten years past, then you probably ought

(59:32):
to talk to your physician about that and get stream
screened for this because it's a common cancer that's deadly,
but highly curable and treatable if caught at a nervely stage.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
I'm curious Joe in the world that you're in and
with this topic in general, are you hearing of any
developments that make that colonoscopy prep better, easier and less
disastrous in terms of boy, you're right, people hate it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
Well, I hated myself when I've had to do it.
But the President, I'm not aware of anything, because really,
what you've got to do is allow a cleansing of
a colon in order to look at the colonic lining
yep for ABN, the mauthis and to find polyps. So
you can't really have ecal matter in the colon to

(01:00:22):
do a good visual examination of a colon. And it's
one of those things. But thank goodness, the recommendation is
if you're negative, you've got ten years before you have
to do it again. So that's encouraging. But haven't found
a way pressing ever since I was a medical student,
oh forty plus years ago. Nothing really has changed other

(01:00:45):
than better visualization with the optics that we have with
medical instrumentation.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Joe, thanks as always for the intel. I appreciate it,
my friend.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
You're welcome. You have a great week, Press and thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
You do the same. Doctor Joe camps with us this morning.
Healthy expectations. Here in the morning show with Preston Scott,
we come We're gonna do our own sausage making in

(01:01:19):
a little bit here with sal nowsoh, here's the problem.
We're right now debating what ingredients are going in the sausage.
We're not even we're not even considering the sausage itself.
We're considering just how much fenel this sausage is gonna

(01:01:40):
get and what will make up the sausage that we
put together. In the next hour, the legislative look at
week four of the legislative session and a preview week
five in just a few minutes. But first I mentioned
the FSU Hockey Club. Yes, Florida State High how about

(01:02:02):
some of that. They're doing a fundraising golf tournament. It's
one week from today at Capital City at nine am.
A little grab and go breakfast, buffet style lunch afterwards,
four man scramble. The tournament has a field, but they
want a full field for obvious reasons. They're raising funds.

(01:02:22):
So we need three more teams and three more individuals
to reach the full field of seventy two. So we
need three more teams. So here's what you do. You
go to fsuhockey dot com. How simple is that FSU
hockey dot com. And there's a tab right there that

(01:02:43):
says golf tournament. Click it sign up. You can sign
up as an individual, as a pair, or as a foursome.
And we'd love to have you be part of it.
I say we because we iHeart we are co sponsoring
the event, and that leads me to this. This is
the only time I'm making this announcement. So what I've

(01:03:07):
done is I've narrowed this down to one day, one
particular hour, and one particular segment within that hour to
make one announcement, and one announcement only. If you would
like to be on my golf team, I have one

(01:03:29):
spot open and we're going to comp you now. If
you want to donate to the FSU Club, you can
donate to the FSU Hockey Club. But if you'd like
to be considered to be on my team and you are,
here are the rules. You have to be a guy, sorry,

(01:03:52):
just the way it is biological males only two. You
have to be a golfer. If you don't play golf,
this is not the opportunity for you. Okay, I'm not
asking you to be say a five handicapper scratch golf

(01:04:16):
or anything like that, A ten, a fifty. I'm not
asking for that. It would be helpful if you've played golf, though,
and if you play a couple times a month, give
or take, it'd be great. But I'm going to take email,
and if you're listening to this on the podcast, forget

(01:04:38):
it because I'm taking email and I will randomly select
somebody out of the emails I receive, announcing it only
in this segment. So I'm not going to get a
bunch of emails. I'm gonna get a very select few.
You have to be able to play next week Monday morning,

(01:05:01):
Capital City in the in the capital city of Florida. Here,
you have to be able to engage in clever repartee
with me, because you and I will be cart buddies.
We will ride together, I'll get to know you, and
we'll be pals for at least four and a half hours.

(01:05:22):
After that, all bets are off. Now I'm just kidding,
but if you'd like to be part of my team,
then send me an email. I need your your absolute
promise that if you're selected, you're gonna play, no excuses.
Got to be but gotta be able to play, all right,

(01:05:45):
So if that's you, send me an email precedent at
iHeartRadio dot com and the subject matter put golf, FSU Hockey,
golf and UH and and those that send me an
email will be put in the hopper. We have a
randomizer that we're able to just select one, and we
will select one, and you'll get to play golf with

(01:06:06):
my team and with me, and I'd love to get
to know you. Golf is to me just the best
sport to just get to know people. It's just it's
a great game. It's a game for life, which is
you know, I'm sixty four, I'm still playing it. I've
been playing it for fifty nine years. Think about that
for a second. So if you'd like to join me

(01:06:27):
on the golf course benefiting FSU Hockey Club, send me
an email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Preston at iHeartRadio
dot com, and the subject make sure that you put
FSU Hockey goolf and pledge that you will play if
you're selected. All right, simple as that. We've got our
number three coming up next. Salnwzoh is here waiting. We

(01:06:51):
will pick the ingredients for the sausage in mere moments
and be back with you for hour three of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. And so we begin the

(01:07:11):
third hour of the Morning Show. It is March thirty first,
the beginning of the fifth week of the legislative session.
He's Jose, I'm Preston, and this is Salnuzo. He is
the executive director of Consumers Defense and he has been
a long time watcher, observer, and nerd on all things

(01:07:32):
legislative session in Florida. Amen to that, How are we
having fun yet? I just looked at you in the
seconds before we started, and I said, this is the
first legislative session maybe ever, that I am not enjoying
what I'm watching happen because there's too much politics and

(01:07:54):
not enough policy.

Speaker 11 (01:07:55):
Yeah, and so, as a I would also call myself
a nerd, and as someone who's focused on policy and
worked in the policy arena for gosh, going on twenty
five years, this is definitely one where the political dynamics
and the political personalities have cast a larger than normal
shadow over the policy making process, which for the nerds

(01:08:19):
is very frustrating. So I would share and echo your
sentiment where this is probably the most frustrating legislative session.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
From that vantage point for me, I'm not going to
ever intentionally at least put you in a position of
having to kind of pick a side on any of
this stuff. But is it possible that the politics of
this session will overshadow to the extent that we don't
get enough policy done because of the political dynamics.

Speaker 11 (01:08:50):
Oh, I think that that's absolutely going to be the case.
And I actually thought you were going to take the
question in the electoral direction. Is it something where it
cast a shadow over next year's campaigning in the midterms
one we'll have a goobernatorial election. And I think while
it's probably safe to say it's a little too soon

(01:09:11):
to articulate that at least during this legislative session, I
think if it doesn't improve and continues to build, and
if it builds too long, it could be a legitimate threat.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Did this begin with the special session controversy or were
the seeds to this laid far earlier that we don't
necessarily know about.

Speaker 11 (01:09:32):
I think there's a little bit of this that was
kind of laid in the ground a bit earlier than
the special session. I think the special session debate and
dynamic was a feature of what had been going on
for a little bit. And you had the speaker transition
or the leadership transition to a new speaker, new Senate president.

(01:09:53):
You had a very powerful conservative governor. Arguably I would
consider him among it, if not the most conservative governors
to implement policy in my lifetime at least, and possibly
in history in terms of just the sheer accomplishments. He

(01:10:13):
went from an election where he won by thirty four
thousand votes to a re election winning by one point
five million. After that, used the next two years to
implement policy from the conservative wish list, and then helped
expand the legislative the legislative majority even more after that.

(01:10:36):
And so you've got that dynamic with a legislature that
is a coequal branch of government. And there were absolutely
members who felt like they may have gotten their arms
twisted on some votes or to push through some things
that at the time they weren't comfortable with. And then
you have the special interests playing a factor in that.

(01:10:58):
And so I think those seas have been planted and
watered and these are the first fruits of that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
When you say they weren't comfortable with is there a
real consideration of someone's personal comfort versus what is best
for the constituents and the citizens.

Speaker 11 (01:11:16):
I think in some cases you would have members who
would make an argument that they were intertwined, that they
were personally and I'm going to throw out a hypothetical
example that they may have been personally uncomfortable with going
from say a fifteen week abortion restriction to a six
week abortion restriction because they represented a district where they

(01:11:41):
had more constituents who were very uncomfortable with that. There
are a number of those types of issues where I
think and that's fair over those two year period that
the new leadership is trying to, you know, kind of
plant a flag in the ground and say no, we're
going to establish ourselves more as a coequal branch and pushback.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
Yeah to that, I would just simply reply, as long
as you're representing the will of the people that put
you in office, that's fine. Yes.

Speaker 11 (01:12:14):
And there's another new it's not a personal thing. And
there's another nuance to this that we could talk after
the break.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
All right, ten past the hour, sal Newszoh with us.
It's Sussy here on the Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
Scott This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
The idea is to have some healthy expectations and we
are joined by doctor Joe Camps. Good morning, sir, good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
How are you today, Preston.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
I'm terrific.

Speaker 5 (01:12:53):
I'm enjoying NCAA Maddens. But you know, the month of
March is also cancer awareness months for colon cancer. I
haven't talked about that in a long long time, but
it's worth mentioning because it's the second most common cancer
and it's the third of death in those that are
less than fifty years of age. Now, the reason I

(01:13:16):
think this one is so important is that if this
is detected early, the survival rate on this is ninety percent.
Unheard of. But the issue is, and you probably know,
is early detection. Now, some of the risk factors for this, obviously,
or as you increase in age, took me those that
are over the age of seventy years of age. That's

(01:13:37):
how risk. If you have a family history, if you
have conditions like infectious diseases of a colon, certainly that
can be a risk factor. Obviously, large consumptions of red meat,
alcohol and smoking almost that's on every cancer list. Certainly
it fits for this, and the issue is I don't

(01:14:00):
know if you've had one, but it's it's not the
most pleasant thing you've ever done in your life because
you have to have a colonoscopy and obviously you know
the prep work for colonoscopy. I think I wouldn't wish
that on my enemy, because that's a pretty wicked treatment
UH and a preparation issue. But certainly if you can

(01:14:21):
get past that and have a colonoscopy, they obviously screen
for abnormalities such as polyps and and perhaps take biopsies
if needed for early detection of UH of colon cancer. Now,
one of the things that you can do if you
if you just are not wanting to go to the doctors,
you can get these imminohistical tests, the stool tests which

(01:14:47):
look for abnormalities in DNA and colon guard is one
these a fecal imino histochemical test, and you can get
these at any place that those medical products. But certainly
you can do this at home. It is convenient, it's
non invasive, and the cost is really minimal. But would

(01:15:11):
recommend if you haven't had a colonosity, or if you're
ten years past, then you probably ought to talk to
your physician about that and get streams screened for this,
because it's a common cancer that's deadly, but highly curable
and treatable if caught at a nervely stage.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
I'm curious, Joe, in the world that you're in and
with this topic in general, are you hearing of any
developments that make that colonoscopy prep better, easier and less
disastrous in terms of Boy, you're right, people hate it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
Well, I hate it myself when I've had to do it,
But Preston, I'm not aware of anything because really, what
you've got to do is allow the cleansing of the
colon in order to look at the kolonic lining yep,
the mouths and to find polyps. So you can't really
have fecal matter in the colon to do a good

(01:16:07):
visual examination of a colon, and it's one of those things.
But thank goodness, the recommendation is if you're negative, you've
got ten years before you have to do it again,
so that's encouraging. But haven't found a way present Ever
since I was a medical student, oh forty plus years ago,

(01:16:28):
nothing really has changed other than better visualization with the
optics that we have with medical instrumentation.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Joe, thanks as always for the intel. I appreciate it,
my friend.

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
You're welcome, you have a great week present. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
You do the same doctor Joe camps with us this morning,
Healthy expectations Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
We're gonna do our own sausage making in a little

(01:17:04):
bit here with sal nowsoh, here's the problem. We're right
now debating what ingredients are going in the sausage. We're
not even we're not even considering the sausage itself. We're
considering just how much fennel this sausage is gonna get

(01:17:25):
and what will make up the sausage that we put together.
In the next hour, the legislative look at week four
of the legislative session and a preview week five in
just a few minutes. But first I mentioned the FSU
Hockey Club. Yes, Florida State Hockey. How about some of that.

(01:17:48):
They're doing a fundraising golf tournament. It's one week from
today at Capital City at nine am. A little grab
and go breakfast, buffet style lunch afterwards, four man scramble.
They the tournament has a field, but they want a
full field. For obvious reasons. They're raising funds. So we
need three more teams and three more individuals to reach

(01:18:11):
the full field of seventy two. So we need three
more teams. So here's what you do. You go to
fsuhockey dot com. How simple is that FSU hockey dot com,
and there's a tab right there that says golf tournament.
Click it sign up. You can sign up as an individual,

(01:18:31):
as a pair, or as a foursome. And we'd love
to have you be part of it. I say we
because we iHeart we are co sponsoring the event, and
that leads me to this. This is the only time
I'm making this announcement. So what I've done is I've

(01:18:52):
narrowed this down to one day, one particular hour, and
one particular segment within that hour to make one announcement,
and one announcement only. If you would like to be
on my golf team, I have one spot open and

(01:19:17):
we're going to comp you. Now, if you want to
donate to the FSU Club, you can. You can donate
to the FSU Hockey Club. But if you'd like to
be considered to be on my team and you are,
here are the rules. You have to be a guy. Sorry,

(01:19:37):
just the way it is biological males only two. You
have to be a golfer. If you don't play golf,
this is not the opportunity for you. Okay. I'm not
asking you to be say a five ha cap or

(01:20:00):
scratch golf or anything like that. A ten of fifty,
I'm not asking for that. It would be helpful if
you've played golf, though, and if you play a couple
times a month, give or take, it'd be great. But
I'm going to take email, and if you're listening to

(01:20:21):
this on the podcast, forget it because I'm taking email
and I will randomly select somebody out of the emails
I receive, announcing it only in this segment. So I'm
not going to get a bunch of emails. I'm going
to get a very select few. You have to be

(01:20:41):
able to play next week Monday morning, Capital City in
the capital City of Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
You have to be able to engage in clever repartee
with me, because you and I will be cart buddies.
We will ride together, I'll get to know you, and
we'll be pals for at least four and a half hours.
After that, all bets are off. Now I'm just kidding,

(01:21:09):
but if you'd like to be part of my team,
then send me an email. I need your your absolute
promise that if you're selected, you're gonna play, no excuses,
got to be but gotta be able to play, all right.
So if that's you, send me an email Preston at

(01:21:31):
iHeartRadio dot com and the subject matter put golf, FSU Hockey,
golf and UH and and those that send me an
email will be put in the hopper. We have a
randomizer that we're able to just select one, and we
will select one, and you'll get to play golf with UH,
with my team and with me, and I'd love to

(01:21:53):
get to know you. Golf is to me just the
best sport to just get to know people. It's just
it's a great game. It's a game for life, which
is you know, I'm sixty four, I'm still playing it.
I've been playing it for fifty nine years. Think about
that for a second. So if you'd like to join
me on the golf course benefiting FSU Hockey Club, send

(01:22:15):
me an email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Preston at
iHeartRadio dot com, and the subject make sure that you
put FSU hockeygolf and pledge that you will play if
you're selected. All right, simple as that. We've got our
number three coming up next. Salnwsoh is here waiting. We

(01:22:35):
will pick the ingredients for the sausage in mere moments
and be back with you for hour three of the
Morning Show with President Scott. And so we begin the

(01:22:56):
third hour of the Morning Show. It is March thirty first,
the beginning of the fifth week of the legislative session.
He's Jose, I'm Preston, and this is Sal Nuzzo. He
is the executive director of Consumers Defense and he has
been a long time watcher, observer, and nerd on all

(01:23:16):
things legislative session in Florida. Amen to that. How are
we having fun yet? I just looked at you in
the seconds before we started, and I said, this is
the first legislative session maybe ever, that I am not
enjoying what I'm watching happen because there's too much politics

(01:23:38):
and not enough policy.

Speaker 11 (01:23:39):
Yeah, and so, as a I would also call myself
a nerd, and as someone who's focused on policy and
worked in the policy arena for gosh, going on twenty
five years. This is definitely one where the political dynamics
and the political personalities have cast a larger than normal

(01:24:00):
over the policy making process, which for the nerds is
very frustrating. So I would share and echo your sentiment
where this is probably the most frustrating legislative session from
that vantage point for me, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Not going to ever intentionally at least put you in
a position of having to kind of pick a side
on any of this stuff. But is it possible that
the politics of this session will overshadow to the extent
that we don't get enough policy done because of the
political dynamics.

Speaker 11 (01:24:34):
Oh, I think that that's absolutely going to be the case.
And I actually thought you were going to take the
question in the electoral direction. Is it something where it
casts a shadow over next year's campaigning in the mid
terms one we'll have a gubernatorial election, And I think,
while it's probably safe to say it's a little too

(01:24:54):
soon to articulate that at least during this legislative session,
I think if it doesn't improve and continues to build,
and if it builds too long, it could be a
legitimate threat. Did this begin with the special session controversy
or were the seeds to this laid far earlier that

(01:25:14):
we don't necessarily know about. I think there's a little
bit of this that was kind of laid in the
ground a bit earlier than the Special Session. I think
the Special Session debate and dynamic was a feature of
what had been going on for a little bit. And
you had the speaker transition or the leadership transition to

(01:25:35):
a new speaker, new Senate president. You had a very
powerful conservative governor. Arguably I would consider him among if
not the most conservative governors to implement policy in my
lifetime at least, and possibly in history in terms of

(01:25:55):
just the sheer accomplishments. He went from an election where
he won by thirty four thousand votes to a re
election winning by one point five million. After that, used
the next two years to implement policy from the conservative
wish list, and then helped expand the legislative the legislative

(01:26:17):
majority even more after that. And so you've got that
dynamic with a legislature that is a coequal branch of government.
And there were absolutely members who felt like they may
have gotten their arms twisted on some votes or to
push through some things that at the time they weren't
comfortable with. And then you have the special interests playing

(01:26:41):
a factor in that, and so I think those seeds
have been planted and watered and these are the first
fruits of that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
When you say they weren't comfortable with, is there a
real consideration of someone's personal comfort versus what is best
for the constituents the citizens.

Speaker 11 (01:27:01):
I think in some cases you would have members who
would make an argument that they were intertwined, that they
were personally and I'm going to throw out a hypothetical
example that they may have been personally uncomfortable with going
from say a fifteen week abortion restriction to a six
week abortion restriction because they represented a district where they

(01:27:25):
had more constituents who were very uncomfortable with that. There

the new leadership is trying to, you know, kind of
plant a flag in the ground and say no, we're
going to establish ourselves more as a coequal branch and

(01:27:48):
push back.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Yeah to that, I would just simply reply, as long
as you're representing the will of the people that put
you in office, that's fine. Yes, And there's another news.
It's not a personal thing. And there's another nuance to
this that we could talk after the break All right,
ten past the hour, sal Newzoh with us. It's Sussy
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning

(01:28:19):
Show with Preston Scott talking about the legislative session that
is sixty days of fun and break down, where the
animosity is found. What's the fighting about?

Speaker 11 (01:28:41):
Well, there's a number of issues that they're kind of
in the back and forth, and there was something I
wanted to reference that is real important to this discussion,
and that is, right now, you have a very vocal
cohort of social media platforms, cable news and whatnot shining

(01:29:02):
a light on all of this. And the question that
pops into my head because it's something that I am
paid to pay attention to, and people who are in
the grassroots pay attention to it very aggressively as well,
is how much of the back and forth and the
explosive dynamics that we're seeing are a very vocal minority

(01:29:27):
and the vast majority of the voters are not tuned
into yet. And so as we get further toward the
twenty twenty six campaign area, if those tensions continue and
if the twenty twenty six session mirrors this. I think
we then get into the realm where it could cost

(01:29:50):
you a super majority, it could cost you swing seats,
swing seats, it could cost you, it could cost you
giving the Left a foothold in Florida, that then, you know,
floods money into the state for campaigns and such. And
I think right now we may be a little bit
too soon for that. And it may be if the

(01:30:13):
to borrow a phrase from The Godfather when Clemenza talks
about every five or ten years, you've got to have
this blood letting and then you know, you let all
the bad tension gets out and everybody goes back to normal.
If that's the case, I think this is a year
to do it. Let's get through it, let's get on,
and then we'll all be in good shape for twenty
twenty six. But if it carries forward, that's where I

(01:30:33):
think it's a big threat. And that's where my concerns over.
You know, where the leadership is in the House and
the Senate that they in Just being an observer of
humans and of politics, it tells me that this is
a little bit more personally held than policy held. It

(01:30:56):
could be, and it could be some personal animosity or
feelings that have kind of carried over from prior sessions
that are now manifesting themselves here. But what we see
is we see a whole lot of back and forth
in committee hearings and over bills that we hadn't seen
in prior years. And we're also seeing very public things

(01:31:19):
going on that I think in prior years would have
happened behind the scenes and we wouldn't have had kind
of public twitter or expats back and forth and so forth.
So I think that's where the differences between you know,
this year and maybe you know, five eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
We have a minute left in this segment. Let's touch
on where the fights are.

Speaker 11 (01:31:40):
Sure you've got one in particular which is interesting is
the legislator of the House side has overridden four different
vetos that the governor put in the existing budget. Didn't
total very much. It was only you know, maybe thirty
forty million dollars a total or something like that, but

(01:32:01):
for specific vetos, and the governor kind of came out
publicly and castigated them that for that, and that's where
that kind of public back and forth that I mentioned
comes through. Interestingly enough, the Senate has not indicated where
whether they will go forth and override, because they've got
to do it as well. So whether those overrides come

(01:32:22):
to fruition or not, we don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
All Right, We're going to cover some other areas next
and we're going to keep plowing through this kind of
what's going on in the session, and a look ahead
as well still to come with Sal Nuzzo of Consumer's
Defense here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We're

(01:32:58):
talking about the area is of consternation between the House,
the Senate, the Governor that has led to a degree
of dysfunction, and we're not getting a lot of fun
out of the level of dysfunction that we're seeing in
the early portion of the session.

Speaker 11 (01:33:14):
Yeah, and the one thing I would like to temper
is something I got from a friend who's objective but
also an outsider but pays a whole lot of attention,
and it said, remember that the last two years were
an anomaly in policymaking nationwide, and that tension, even within
a party that controls all the levers of government, is

(01:33:38):
a feature, not a bug. So we may be in
a sense, we may have gotten a little bit drunk
on our own success, and now we're seeing a not
a return, but we're seeing Florida move to a culture
or climate in policy making that reflects a lot of
other even conservative states.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Here's the problem I have with that, and my response
to that would be this, then solve the issues. Everybody
agrees on that in the state. There's an expectation get
this done, get this done, and then fight over the
rest all you want. Well, I would then, because I
think the fighting, the infighting is scuttling good policy getting

(01:34:23):
done that most would agree on.

Speaker 11 (01:34:25):
I wouldn't disagree with you there, but I would also
push back and say, what we're seeing now, and let's
take up the competing tax plans as one of those
fights where you have different groups of conservatives publicly debating
and dialoguing over what should a big tax cut package
for the state of flying I'm good with that. So

(01:34:46):
do you want to dive in on this one?

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Sure? Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:34:49):
So it's really what I would consider the biggest surprise
of this session because it just came out last week.
The House announced Speaker Perez announce when they released their
budget proposal they were posing a reduction in the sales
tax rate for across the board, YEP, going from six
point zero percent to five point twenty five percent. Now
in Leon County and many other counties, it's more than

(01:35:11):
that because you have local options, but the state state
portion would cut back six point zero percent permanently. Now,
on the surface, it might sound like a great idea,
and if they're using that to counter and eliminate the
sales tax holidays, I think we're all in favor of

(01:35:31):
something along those lines. So, however, the governor's already on
record saying he wants a property tax elimination, and you
have these competing tax proposals, and this back and forth
between the governor and the chambers. The Senate President has
come out and said, you know, look, we will land

(01:35:53):
this plane. He hasn't given any specifics on which way
they're leaning, and we don't even have yet a kind
of the overall house approach. But I have talked with folks,
and here's the interesting dynamic. Florida has six tourists for
every one resident. Now, when you think about why this

(01:36:13):
state is able to do what it does without a
state income tax, it's largely because we have tourists who
pay an outsized percentage of our tax revenue through paying
sales taxes, so inevitably you're also giving a tax cut
to people from out of state when they're coming here.
Does that compare to a property tax reduction? And how

(01:36:36):
does that shake up? Knowing that the messaging and the
marketing of a sales tax reduction is easier, sure it
is than the property tax speaks because immediately people think, well,
I don't own my home, I rent. It doesn't matter.
But it does does because that puts downward pressure on
rents exactly. And so you have this kind of back

(01:37:00):
and forth that I don't think we've ever seen, at
least in the last eight or ten years.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
And that and see, I think that's a good and
healthy debate to have because that's about good sound fiscal policy,
and they're good points to both sides.

Speaker 11 (01:37:15):
Absolutely, But I think it's one in a bucket of
these back and forth and it's one of the few
where in many other cases it's not really productive the
debate or the back and forth.

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
And so, I mean, you have, for example, there was
a see if it's done with animus, I completely agree.
If they're just kind of you know, forgive the schoolyard expression.
If they're just kind of pissing on each other, you know,
just to do it, that's pointless. But if there's honest
differences and we believe in this kind of tax strategy,
we believe in this kind, let's debate those and come

(01:37:52):
out with something. Well.

Speaker 11 (01:37:53):
And let me give you an example on where I
think it might be the latter instead of the former. Okay,
so last week you had a state House State Administration Committee.
They control the agency budgets. The chair of the committee
went on a very direct assault about an issue related
to the accounting of the state transportation fleet. Now, the

(01:38:14):
chair claimed the secretary of the agency DMS did not
provide any answers to the committee's questions. Then they moved
to zero out the agency secretary salary and the budget
until the committee was satisfied with getting answers. Now, in
response to that, the official agency x account posted screenshots

(01:38:34):
of emails between the secretary and the committee. And that's
where I think the back and forth is more along
the lines of what you described, rather than a substantive
and constructive policy debate.

Speaker 1 (01:38:50):
Agreed, when it goes out to the social media world,
and we're not talking about it amongst ourselves as lawmakers
and staffs. That's wrong.

Speaker 11 (01:38:59):
And you also have this kind of back and forth
over the future of the Hope Program, and we've talked
about that in the past. It's the initiative launched by
the First Lady back.

Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
A few years ago. So brilliant program.

Speaker 11 (01:39:12):
It is absolutely brilliant. What it does is it works
to get Floridians off of government aid and into services
by diverting them to faith based and charity organizations that
are doing this kind of work.

Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
It just needs oversight. It needs some oversight.

Speaker 11 (01:39:27):
So right now it's solely an effort within the Governor's
budget and First Lady's kind of allocation within their office.
The Governor wants to make it a permanent program. In
the House, you've got Lauren Mello, Representative Mello carrying a bill,
but it has not gotten onto a single committee agenda yet.
The Senate just took up its version but for just

(01:39:48):
its first stop. And you've got to ask yourself, would
delay like that have happened in twenty twenty three or
twenty twenty four when to your point, if you want
to have appropriate oversight over the a program, make it
statutory and go forth and then unpack it and it's
under your purview exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
Yeah, more to come with Salnuzo here on the Morning
Show with President Scott. Thanks for listening. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Moving faster then then I might

(01:40:35):
have otherwise expected. Salnuzo with me from Consumers Defense. You
can learn more at Consumers Defense dot com. We're talking
about the legislative session. I made a comment that I
worry that good policy, things that need to get done,
are not getting done. Is there any validity to my concern? Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:40:56):
Yeah, And I think there's always going to be areas
of policy where you know, one chamber goes in the
direction in church, you know, as part of the deal.
But there's a lot that I think when we look
back on this session is going to be kind of
left on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):
And would we call it low hanging fruit.

Speaker 11 (01:41:12):
I mean, in my opinion it would be, and I
think in yours it would be as well. And so,
you know, just kind of running through a couple of them.
On the immigration side, I mean, we've talked for a
few years, let alone just this session, about the need
to close the everify loophole. Yeah, which if you know,
if you haven't heard two loopholes, well, yeah, and you've

(01:41:34):
got the one loophole that says, if you have under
twenty five employees, you can use the I nine forum,
which gives employers the ability to kind of claim plausible
deniability and a whole host of things.

Speaker 1 (01:41:46):
So you could apply it to any employer.

Speaker 11 (01:41:49):
And anyone who argues that that is cumbersome is is
a fool because it takes a moment to just log
in and check.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
And the second loophole that I've recently learned is that
employers are not subjecting their entire staff if they have
a large staff to it, only applying new hires. After
Everify went into effect.

Speaker 11 (01:42:10):
Yeah, all existing employees of a company, even one over
twenty five employees was grandfathered in.

Speaker 1 (01:42:17):
So you've got that big. Every employee should be covered
by that, whether they were hired yesterday or fifteen years ago. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:42:24):
And so you see and hear individual members talking about
the need to close it. You can even hear on
occasion trade associations talking about the need to close it,
and yet it likely will not happen this session. What else,
gun rights very low hanging fruit. In my opinion, you've
got to bill to restore the rights of eighteen and

(01:42:46):
twenty year old adults to purchase firearms. It moved past
its last committee before the full House, but none of
the Senate bills that have been filed have been heard
by a single committee. So I can't anticipate anything happened.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
There is there a reason given why they're not touching
something that is so fundamental to our constitution.

Speaker 11 (01:43:06):
I do not know, and you even have. I saw
a post from the Attorney General of Florida saying, you know,
he's hunting, and he's saying there is no legal or
constitutional reason that an eighteen, nineteen, or twenty year old
should not be able to purchase a firearm. And so
you've even got the Florida a g behind this. But

(01:43:28):
I did kind of want to touch on one element
of this, which was the last week Senator Randy Fine,
who's about to go through the election for Congress, he
presented the campus carry bill and its committee stop. Now,
there were tons of public testimony. I listen, just did
as expected. Then it got to debate and you had

(01:43:51):
Senator Carlos Girima Smith, who's this very loud, boisterous senator.
He was in the House very left. He did his
typical oration and opposition. But then you had Senator Jason
Pizzow and even though he opposed the bill, and I
disagree with him on his opposition, but he came to
its defense in a way that I would absolutely encourage

(01:44:12):
anyone to watch, especially considering how then Senator Fine used
it with the close on his bill. That was really
how the process should unfold. The sad part is the
bill failed in committee because you did have two Senators
Corey Simon and Jen Bradley, they were not president in

(01:44:35):
the committee hearing to vote, and then Republican Senator Eleana
Garcia voted no, so it completely killed the bill. So
those are the things that are going on in that front,
and it's a sad thing on a low hanging piece
of policy.

Speaker 1 (01:44:49):
Forty one minutes past the hour. More to come The
Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred
point seven fla final segment where the time went salnwzo

(01:45:12):
with me from Consumer's Defense. We've talked about some things
that maybe ought to have the attention of lawmakers that
might not be getting the full attention are there things
that they're spending time on that perhaps would be better
spent on some of those other things. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:45:27):
And I think one that we can kind of home
in on, because we've talked about it a whole lot
over the years, is the issue of insurance in the
state of Florida, particularly in property insurance and then in auto.
And honestly, this is one where I have a lot
of trouble understanding it from a policy angle. I get
the politics behind it, but from a policy angle, I

(01:45:49):
just don't. The House is moving a bill, it's HB
fifteen to fifty one. It would pretty much reverse course
completely on the tort reforms from just two years ago.
In twenty twenty three, the committees voted on it. The
two committees, it's been to sixteen one and fifteen one
to move it forward. So you have members, in fact,
that voted for the tort bills two years ago that

(01:46:12):
are now turning basically one hundred and eighty degrees and
voting the opposite way. Now, the Senate does have a
companion bill to this, but it has not made an
agenda for a committee yet. Now, ordinarily I would say
it's almost likely dead for the session. But with so
many of those types of bills in the same posture

(01:46:33):
that we're seeing with this, I'm kind of prepping myself
for some major move in the final couple of weeks
a session the leaders work out a massive final agreement
includes taking up these dangling bills and moving them through,
and then they go forward. So on the property side,
you've got that it would reverse course on the tort reforms,

(01:46:54):
and then you've got the shift to auto insurance. And
this is one where the legislature has done this before.
They've passed a repeal of the Personal Injury Protection PIP
and they've sent it to the governor and he vetoed
it because he rightly deduced it would effectively raise rates
on drivers because it wasn't paired with some other needed reforms.

(01:47:17):
I've looked over this year's bill that would repeal it,
and it's pretty much the same version. And what I'm
intrigued by is it's in both the Senate and the
House and they're gonna move something, and I wonder if
he's going to veto it, and if so, do they
try to override it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:35):
Do consumer citizens in the state have unrealistic expectations of
the industry, because I feel like there's been a perfect
storm in that any changes that have been put into
place have had to go against the wind of inflation.

Speaker 11 (01:47:49):
Yes, and I think you're spot on. I would try
to be as diplomatic as possible in saying this that
I think as non informed people within the insurance arena.
I mean, who really pays attention to the insurance arena, well,

(01:48:10):
policymakers and people in the insurance arena and trial attorneys.

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
And everyone once or twice a year when they get their.

Speaker 11 (01:48:17):
Premium exactly, and so all that they're looking at is
did my premiums go up or my premiums go down?
And they don't care why. And there is a big
why in this, And so you are spot on when
ruf shingles and lumber and glass and all of these
other things that go into making you whole, when the
prices of them have gone up over the last four years,

(01:48:40):
in some years double digits, it's not an easy fix
to get those rates down because those rates are reflective
of where inflation is.

Speaker 1 (01:48:48):
At thirty seconds, what's the big task for the week, the.

Speaker 11 (01:48:52):
Big big task for the week. And I struggle because
we didn't get to it until the end. Here is
the budget. It's the one kind of institutional responsibility. Both
the Senate and House have released their budget proposals. The
House is six billion dollars less than the current year
and two point five billion dollars less than the governor proposed,

(01:49:14):
and the Senate version is a little bit higher. I
think there's about a three and a half four billion
dollar gap between the House and the Senate. The big
thing for this week is the appropriations. The full appropriations
committees will pass those budgets and then they go to
the chambers, which triggers the Conference Committee. So maybe next
week we'll have some time to unpack the various proposals,
where the differences are, and how they're kind of moving

(01:49:37):
ahead with a conference plan.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
Thanks for the time, Always a pleasure to be with it.
Salarz Oh Consumers Defense our guest legislative stuff here on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is one of

(01:50:09):
those records. I don't know how we got to ending
shows with breaking records, but we've got another Guinness record
that's biting the dust. Has bitten the dust. An Egyptian
free driver driver diver dumped himself into the red Sea,

(01:50:33):
swam twenty nine feet six inches straight down and waiting
for him at the bottom. Rami Abdallah Meade found a
pull up bar weighted down and he did thirty three
pull ups before he had to go up to breathe.

(01:50:55):
So he took a breath, swam twenty nine feet six inches,
oriented himself on the pull up bar, did thirty three
pull ups, which, granted you're in the water buoyancy little
help there, but in one breath, did thirty three pull
ups before he had to surface for air, setting a

(01:51:16):
Guinness World record. It would be fair to ask the
question why I have no idea. I have nothing for you.
I'm just telling you. There you go, there's there, find
a record and break it. Fifty four minutes past the hour,
and we have drawn this to a close. Brought to

(01:51:38):
you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the morning show
on WFLA taking the fun out of dysfunctional. That's the
Florida legislature, the Governor's office. It's a train wreck. It
just it's just it's mind numbing. The stuff that gets

(01:52:00):
killed because someone doesn't like it. How about what do
the people want? Even in a state as buttoned down
as Florida has been. This is the danger of politics.

(01:52:21):
I just i'd laugh. But there's enough in here that
needs to get done, that isn't I mean, I've got
friends that are just stonewalling me, as they know I'm
getting stonewalled. It's okay. We have each other friends and

(01:52:45):
in that misery loves company, right. But my thanks to
Sal Newso for his time this morning. Doctor Joe Camps
joined us, you joined me. We had a bunch of
calls talking about dreams. It was an interesting segment. Wouldn't
surprise me for that to find its way and do
the best of twelve days at Preston Shows, just saying

(01:53:07):
federal judge halts the shut down a voice of America.
Of course, Tim Wall's calling for his shadow government. You
mean like the one we had. His son famously said
to him, says the guy who got his bleep kicked
by Donald Trump. That's what Tim Wallas's son said to
Tim Walls about his ideas the TESLA Global Day of Action,

(01:53:34):
whatever yawn. Tomorrow, US Congresswoman Kat Cammick will join us.
Also tomorrow, Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz makes a return
to the Morning show. We'll have a manly minute. More
friends have an awesome day.
