Episode Transcript

(00:19):
Well, good morning, and welcometo Thursday on the Morning Show with Preston's
Gotta Preston. That's Grant, HottieHattie, how you doing. It's a
show forty nine twenty two, okay, thirty four of America held a hostage.
And it's great to be with youthis morning. Always always good to

(00:41):
wake up. May the fourth,May the fourth be with you who.
I don't know who came up orthat, but we know that it could
not have started before the before theStar Wars movies came out, and then

(01:03):
and then I guess it would havebeen a while later before you got to
the Revenge of the Fifth That worksout real well. Anyway, welcome,
We will get to this date inhistory and just a little bit set up
the radio program. But first somescripture. Matthew five fourteen through sixteen the

(01:27):
words of Jesus, you are thelight of the world. Come back to
that. A town built on ahill cannot be hidden. Neither do people
light a lamp and put it undera bowl. Instead they put it on

(01:49):
a stand, and it gives lightto everyone in the house. In the
same way, let your light shinebefore others that they may see. Or
good deeds and glorify your father inheaven. Let's go back to the beginning.
You are the light of the world. A lot of us are really

(02:15):
uncomfortable with the idea that we area light of anything. I think for
some it's because they don't feel worthy. They don't feel worthy to be put
on a stand. They don't feelcomfortable with people looking at them because in

(02:45):
all their humility, they recognize theyfall short, and they don't want people
to be looking at them when theyfall short. For others, it's a
little bit of a different French sideof the same coin. For others,

(03:05):
they don't want the accountability of theresponsibility that comes from being set on a
hill, being a light and causingothers to see them. They just don't
want that. I'm personally convinced that'swhere the majority of us fall. I

(03:27):
think the majority of us fall intothat side of things that we just we
don't want that level of accountability inour life. We don't want people to
be They might see what we're whatwe're all about, might see that we
just give this God Jesus thing lipservice. We don't really act like it.

(03:53):
So as you look at this andconsider this Remember what you do,
how you live your life, carriesfar more far reaching impact than the words

(04:15):
you say. Remember that in yourrelationship with your husband or your wife,
your children, your parents, yourfriends, your coworkers, what you say
is eclipsed by what they see youdo. Words ring hollow if they are

(04:46):
not in fact buttressed and supported byactions. Matthew eighteen are verses. Today.
It's a day. That means it'sa busy show. Today's like any
other Thursday, a busy show,lots to talk about. Stick around.

(05:08):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show Preston Scott. Eleven
minutes after May four, sixteen,twenty six, Dutch columnist Eater Menuet arrives

(05:39):
in Manhattan. He later buys theisland from Indians for twenty four dollars worth
of trade goods. That's incredible.That, I mean, that's incredible,
twenty four dollars of trade. Seventeenseventy six, Rhode Island declares its freedom

(06:03):
from England. Two months before thedeclaration of independence. Look at those Rhode
Islanders. How about that? Nineteenforty two, the Battle of Coral c
the first naval clash fought solely byair power begins nineteen fifty nine. Henry

(06:24):
Mannsini, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgeraldare among the winners of the first Grammy
Awards then nineteen sixty one. OnMay fourth, nineteen sixty one, thirteen
men and women black and white boardeda bus in Washington set out towards New

(06:45):
Orleans and that would be Washington,d c. Their mission challenged segregation practices
on public transportation. They are rememberedin history as the Freedom Writers. The
Supreme Court had already ruled that agregationon interstate bus travel was unconstitutional, but
in several Southern states it was considereda crime for whites and blacks to sit

(07:08):
side by side. And remind meGrant what political party dominated the southern part
of the United States. Oh,yeah, the Democrats, that's right anyway.

(07:29):
But that's exactly what Freedom Writers did. They sat side by side black
and white when they stopped at busstations. They sat together in segregated waiting
rooms and at lunch counters. Bythe time they reached the South, trouble
was waiting. Near Anniston, Alabama. Angry whites fire bombed the bus.
Freedom Writers barely escaped with their livesand Birmingham Writers on a second bus were

(07:53):
beaten with clubs and lead pipes.This is nineteen sixty one. Ladies and
gentle in Montgomery, and mobs surroundedthe church where they sought refuge. Some
civil rights activists urged the Freedom Writersto halt their journey despite the danger.
More people joined the effort, butthe Freedom Ride came to an end in

(08:16):
Jackson Jackson, Mississippi, where policeherded the writers through the bus station into
patty wagons. More than three hundredwent to jail, so their numbers had
grown from thirteen to three hundred.They never made it to New Orleans,
but they achieved their objective. MoreAmericans work to break segregation, to lead

(08:39):
the country down a better road.In two thousand and one, when some
of the Freedom Writers made their fortiethanniversary bus trip, retracing their route,
the mayor of Anniston welcomed them withkeys to the city. And that's why
people like Morgan look at the calendarand see May fourth, and people like

(09:07):
oh Me, Preston Scott, whywe have been saying for years relegating Black
history to the month of February isan insult. It's part of American history.
It needs to be taught that way. And here's just the latest example.

(09:28):
Also on this date, in nineteenseventy, National guardsmen kill four Kent
State University students protest in the VietnamWar. Bad day. All right.
Today on the program, Steve Stewartjoins us. Next hour, doctor Steve
Steverson, Pause for thought. Wehave a road trip planned. We've got

(09:54):
the third hour. Horace Cooper willjoin us, and we also have a
dozen or so stories that deserve yourattention this morning. Can't make up the
news. We just share it herein the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(10:20):
It's been fun watching the aftermath asa Green Bay Packer fan of Aaron Rodgers
heading to the New York Packers.That's what That's what some fans are calling
the New York Jets now the NewYork Packers because they are now five.
Yeah, the wide receiver corps AlanLazard now Randall Cobb catching passes from Aaron

(10:45):
Rodgers. Backup quarterback Tim Boyle usedto be a backup to Aaron. He
just likes him. Offensive lineman BillyTurner. I'm again, I hope now
thing but the best I want Aaronto play at least eleven games, no
injuries. Want him to have agood year so that we can get a

(11:11):
first round draft pick by him playingsixty five or more of the snaps.
But it's just kind of funny becausethe Jets are learning a little bit about
what made Aaron a little challenging towork with. He demanded roster accommodations for
his friends, and that's just that'sjust the way it is. Aaron can

(11:33):
downplay that all day long, butthat's exactly what happened. And so look,
he's a very bright guy. Ihave a lot of I admire Aaron
on a lot of a lot ofreasons. Unbelievable arm, talent, bright,
bright guy. I think he's funnyin a very subtle way, dry

(11:58):
sense of humor. He's a complexguy because that's how he wants it.
He's a little weird. That's theBerkeley in him. Oh my goodness,
is it ever? You boy?You nailed that. He is like he
ought to be on the cover ofcal Berkeley as with his long hair and
then all of a sudden he showsup with a cut again. Looked like

(12:22):
an adult fresh start. Yeah,there you go. But but anyway,
I'm I'm very personally, very excitedabout my beloved Green Bay Packers youth movement
because they've suddenly become one of theyoungest teams in the NFL, literally in
weeks, with one trade and notbringing back Cobb and Aaron Rodgers, Randall

(12:43):
Cobb, Marcedes Lewis, perhaps MasonCrosby. I mean, you're talking about
guys nearing their forties, all ofthem. How Marcedes Lewis has had such
a long career, He's he's agreat teammate, and he's a great,
great moving offensive lineman who will catchsix asses a year that will shock everybody
because they threw it to him.I would I personally was thinking we might

(13:07):
bring him back. But we've definitelywe've we've drafted tight ends and we've gotten
either even another one in free agency, so we got five tight ends.
We're not Marcedes will find a rostersomewhere else if he wants one. Anyway,
all right, Today is National Dayof Prayer. If you are in
and around the state Capitol, certainlythose of you that are listening in the

(13:31):
in the outlying areas, you've gotplenty of time to make it if you
want to be part of the effort. It is National Day of Prayer.
That means at noon across the countryand each time zone prayer will begin,
so that so beginning in the Easterntime zone, there will be a wave

(13:52):
of prayer that overlaps four hours today, praying for our nation, praying against
evil, plans of evil, andpraying for our nation. Down at the

(14:13):
Capitol. It's in the Capitol courtyardbetween the old and the New Capital.
Music starts at eleven thirty little praiseand worship music. Then prayer begins at
noon runs till about one fifteen.If you want to know more, Florida
prayer dot org is a website foryou. I am very much aligned with

(14:35):
how Rush Limbaugh thinks about the politicalmakeup of our country. When he said
he did not want Barack Obama tosucceed. You remember when that was heresy?
How dare you say no? AndI feel the same way, not
just about that, but about anybodythat has plans to hurt this country.
I don't want them to succeed now. As right now, the resident of

(15:01):
the United States is harming our nation. I do not want his plans to
succeed. I actively pray against theplans of Satan to destroy this country.
Ultimately, we just do our part. But all you have to do is

(15:26):
look at the news and you seethe way that this is moving. You
just do. And so you justhave to fit. You don't. You
don't pitch it. You know afit and go sit on the sideline,
cross your arms and just go hoof. You have to continue to wage a

(15:46):
spiritual war against the forces of evil, and you do that through Christ and
National Day of Prayer. The MorningShow with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven uf LA, thirtyfive minutes after the hour. Good a

(16:19):
mates, and welcome if you arejust joining us, We appreciate it very
much. Common sense amplified. It'swhat we do. We talk about things
through the lens of just common sense. Nothing remarkable about all this other than
what's in the news. That isjust Yeah. I was thinking yesterday,

(16:42):
Grant, I was getting really frustratedbecause I feel so much like a broken
record. The stories just are unrelentingand they sound so much the same.

(17:07):
Listen to this Duke University Medical ProgramUniversity of North Carolina, East Carolina are
offering gender affirming care to children asyoung as two years old. How do

(17:29):
you keep your medical license? Butit gets worse? The director of one
of these clinics, doctor Colby Dendy. The literature tells us that kids can
start around age four having their genderidentity, So we don't want to exclude

(17:53):
anybody within the pediatric's realm. Abig part of our goal is to provide
affirming primary care to every buddy inthe LGBTQ plus spectrum. The literature tells
us the medical community, not entirely, but largely, has become an activist

(18:30):
organization, fraternity, sorority club,profession gender affirming care to toddlers, ladies,
and gentlemen. Then I found thisstory. University of Texas at Austin

(18:56):
lead Research assistant tag this. Ihad found this story, so we were
on the same page. The Financialand Administration Services posted a Language Matters glossary
of terms under the Diversity Commitment Program, which includes definitions of a variety of

(19:21):
terms quoting having a common language fortalking about and across difference. Difference across
difference okay, they wrote it,not me is important for mutual understanding and
partnership. The language of diversity isevolving and requires awareness, understanding, and

(19:42):
skill. This glossary, though notexhaustive, is a tool to give you
the words and meanings to help makeconversations easier, respectful, and empowering.
For example, women now spelled wimm i N. It can also be

(20:11):
spelled wo m x n or wO m y n. They describe it
as a non standard spelling of theword women used by feminists to avoid the
word ending men or man. ChrisRufo after I caught them recommending the word

(20:41):
women in place of women, Universityof Texas administrators remove their Language Matters Guide
from the university website. Unfortunately forthem, I've archived the page and will
report more next week. This isat the University of Texas, Texas.

(21:03):
The Morning Show Preston Scott, So, what do you do when you have
this attack on the most fundamentally scientificallyestablished things and the words used to describe

(21:30):
them? How do you play thatgame? Listen to this. I was
gonna say, I don't think youdo. You don't play it. You
just ignore and engage. You justyeah, well, that sounds like an
oxy moron. Doesn't sound like itwould work. You ignore their claims,

(21:53):
but you just engage them for whatit is. They're irrational, and you
just tell them that they're irrational.See. I go back to this is
this is mental illness when it goesto extremes. I still believe it came

(22:18):
across this report talking about the numberof LGBTQ kids out there that have attempted
suicide. I think it was someridiculous number that claimed that they've attempted to
suicide at least once. Well,if all of a sudden, now,
if this isn't a social contagion aresult of social media, because it's primarily

(22:45):
impacting girls, that's a fact,then why didn't we see waves of suicide?
If this is the way it's alwaysbeen in previous decades, generations,
waves because they could they? Imean, this kind of thing was so

(23:07):
taboo twenty years ago, it justwas Did it happen? Sure? Was
it? As? I mean,did we have Dylan Mulvaney's Leah Thomas's twenty
years ago? No? We didnot. So if we're if the if
the claims are true, that thesepeople have just been there all along,

(23:32):
just oppressed, then where we're allthe massive suicides because of it didn't happen?
Folks, listen to this sickness.Louisiana. The legislature House Health and
Welfare Committee House Bill four sixty threewould ban certain procedures to alter the sex

(23:52):
of a minor child. Up comesa woman offering testimony. We couldn't figure
out what the problem was. She'stalking about her biological daughter. We took
him to specialists and neurologists. Hehad brain scans trying to figure out why

(24:14):
he couldn't sleep. As he grew, he got to sleeping, but his
food choices were odd. They werealways like green vegetables, raw green vegetables,
which, if you know kids,most kids don't like to eat those
things. Once we figured out hewas transgender, when he came to us
and told us he was transgender,that's a lie. Yeah, that's a

(24:36):
lie. You're a liar, lady. We went back and realized that the
pattern of everything he had experienced asa child, including eating green vegetables because
that boost testosterone, were just methodsof his body trying to become who he
was meant to be. His braindoesn't match his physiology. So this woman

(25:03):
knew her biological daughter was a boybecause of odd food choices. People will
justify anything. It is so Sowhat are we supposed to deduce by of
the fact that you claim that greenvegetables boost testosterone. A lot of guys

(25:29):
hate green vegetables. Well, I'mgonna go have some broccoli after this.
Let's go. Oh yeah, yeahsrex Quando, Yeah yeah, since he
get me some raw spinach. It. There was another parent. She said

(25:56):
that she knew her biological daughter wasa boy due to her attraction to boy
toys at eighteen months old. We'rebecoming the new Aztecs. You know why
girls love toys made for boys becausethey're cooler. Boys toys in the toy

(26:19):
aisle are cool. It doesn't meanyour child is a boy or a girl,
regardless of the toys. This isa sickness. These parents, in
my opinion, are guilty of childabuse. Forty six minutes after the hour

(26:41):
in the Morning Show and This isthe Morning Show with Preston Scott fifty two
minutes after the hour, bed Reservedyesterday raised its benchmark interest rate by a

(27:04):
quarter of a point. Put's thebenchmark federal funds rate at a range of
five to five and a quarter percentHyacinths two thousand and seven. It was
a little bit more than zero ayear ago. So what does that tell

(27:26):
you? They continue to raise rates. What does that tell you? It's
so important that you understand what they'redoing and why. The why is the
most important thing as opposed to thewhat the what. It's just it impacts

(27:49):
refinance rates, finance rates, carrates, it finance, It impacts about
everything. Now, these interest ratesclimbing do help your deposits in your savings.
Money markets are yielding better as aresult of these rates going up.

(28:17):
But what this tells you is thatany claims that the Biden administration makes suggesting
that the economy is just humming alongand there everything's great, these are the
types of things that underscore the opposite. They're having to raise interest rates because

(28:41):
inflation continues to be at ridiculously highlevels. We laugh about it sometimes,
joking about the size of a packageof crackers and things like that, how
many are in the bag, theshrinking size of fill in the blank.

(29:07):
But you need to know, there'sthe reason this is happening is because the
economy is still struggling with inflation.That's why it's happening. Got a note
in response, Got a lot ofnotes, Got a lot of feedback in
response to our discussion earlier this weekabout zoomers, and I can't even imagine

(29:30):
what it's like to be you.Hey, life's great, but to be
a zoomer and to have to alwaysfight the the stereotype assumption. Yeah,
based on my age, it exists. I've I've experienced it for sure.
Like, how just interact just generalinteractions with people that assume, yeah,

(29:56):
engaging with you know, banks,or you know, just out in public,
do they assume that you carry theattitudes of a zoomer or that you
are just you're gonna be like themost of zoomers in that you're gonna be
kind of detached, You're gonna haveyour own little ideas on things, etc.

(30:18):
A little bit. And then theysee that, you know, I'm
married, you know, I havea home, I've got a wife,
and then they're like, Oh,you're not you're you're you're not part of
that whatever that is, that's notit. And I'm like, precisely,
you got it. Kind of notefrom a guy who said, Um,
about six weeks ago, my companyhired a young man who's twenty. When

(30:42):
he and I met, I advisedhim that I work part time I'm sixty
five, and he immediately advised mehe wasn't going to listen to an old
fogy like me. He went onto tell me that people in the older
generation act like they know everything,and he would not tolerate me or anyone
else that is older than him totell him what or what not to do
or how to do his job.The next two to three weeks, same

(31:06):
individual was late to work twice byat least forty five minutes. He wondered
if he would lose his job.Yes, think five minutes past the hour.

(31:32):
It's Thursday, second hour of theMorning Show with Preston Scott and may
the fourth be with you. Ijust I have to sound trendy. I
guess that's what people say today andthen tomorrow will be revenge at the fifth.
But anyway, we welcome you.Show forty nine twenty two of the
radio program effectually known as Common SenseAmplified and Grant and I are joined on

(31:56):
Thursdays by the executive editor of tellassYour Reports, Steve Stewart. Good morning
sir, Good morning press, andhow are you. I'm good? How
are you? I'm good, verygood, nice, great brisk morning out
there. I know these would begoing away, but it was. It's
nice right now we have a lotof interest because it's it's one of those
stories because of the profile of AndrewGillham national profile. Yes. Yeah,

(32:19):
when he was mayor, we knewhe was being largely bankrolled by George Soros.
He was working for George Soros priorto becoming mayor indirectly then came within
a whisker of becoming the governor ofthe state of Florida. And now he
finds himself in court. Yeah,and this is uh, you know,
I guess the fifth day of deliberation. So this is sort of here where

(32:40):
this is where we are on theGellhim's route. And I ask you,
are you surprised the deliberations have lastedthis long. Yes, I am,
but I'm surprised. But I canunderstand why this is not as a slam
dunk case as some of the others. I mean, you know, we
had a couple of people that actuallywere given We're given them, but they

(33:00):
settled, they pled guilty because theevidence was so overwhelming. So this is
this is where we are right now. The juries got to the charges and
the and all the information there hasbeen a negotiation, negotiation with the jury
deliberations, and it seems like they'veagreed on the one count related to a
false statement. Now I have taughtto someone who was in the who was

(33:22):
in the courtroom, and the tapesthat were played are related to that charge.
Unfortunately, those won't be made publicever. That's from what I understand.
But he told me that it wasvery obvious the inconsistencies between the tapes
in New York and the deposition onthe ethics complaint related to the Hamilton tickets,

(33:43):
and so that is the charge thatit seems like the jury was able
to agree on. The wire fraud, which is related to moving campaign contributions
around so that he could benefit personally, are much more are less clear on
where the jury is on this.They cannot reach consensus. We don't know
if it's eleven one or eight six. And I guess that will determine if

(34:06):
there's a mistrial on those charges andthere can be a partial verdict, you
can be guilty for the false statements, and then you know, a hung
jury on the wire fraud. I'mconfused because there's a paper trail there.
It's math, it's you know,I mean, it would seem to be
easier to deal with than the firsttrial. That's charges, That's what I
thought, Preston. But listen,you know the Open Society Foundation, which

(34:29):
is George Soros's main nonprofit where hefunnels hundreds of millions of dollars, there's
actually an executive here in Tallahassee onthe stand. The problem I think they're
running into is all these people thatare donating money and that got routed.
They are not complaining. They areactually saying that, hey, you know
P and P Communications has done goodwork for us in the past. That

(34:52):
adds to I think the problem.And you know, as we talked about
before we went on the end,that's relevant. Well it is. You
look, you're not talking about computers, you're talking about jurors. And so
there's an emotional There are twelve andnow we're down to eleven. No not
I thought we had a dismissal.No, we did not. We had
an issue, but it was resolvedin the jurors state. UM on the

(35:15):
panel. But the problem is isthat this moving the campaign money around.
UM. You know, it's somethingthat there are politicians all over the country
that put their relatives on the campaignpayroll, disclose it and they pay them.
People don't like it, but it'sit's done, and it's it's legal.
They've decided that it's legal. AndrewGillam did not do that. The

(35:37):
problem is when you do do that, you have to suffer the political you
know, they're writing about it inthe media stories. And he was running
for governor, so he probably didn'twant that. So instead of doing that,
instead of putting his wife on thecampaign payroll so you could get money,
um, he decided to try todo it this other way and move
it around underneath you know, anykind of public record. And so that's

(36:00):
the question that the jury has todeal with. You're right, there is
a paper trail. There's no doubthe moved money around that were that was
designated for campaign. But the peoplethat are donating the money aren't really complaining.
But I don't know that that mattersbecause they liked the guy, or
they wouldn't have given him money exactly. And I think that's sort of Jerry's
like, well, who got hurthere? The law? That's like,

(36:24):
I mean, that's God America.Ten minutes after the hour more, Steve
Stewart coming up. Welcome to theMorning Show with Preston Scott Steve Stewart from
Tellask Report and subscribe get that paperand tell ask Reports dot com. Got

(36:45):
any one coming up? Yes,got to pick it up today. Nice
should get it this weekend. Sowe moved from the trial of the former
mayor and city commissioner Andrew Gillham tosome county issues. Well no, actually,
well yeah, it's county and city. Okay, all right, so
this this is about the famous NortheastPark. What the exactly what are you

(37:07):
talking about? Where's the park?Dude? Yeah, So this was gonna
be you know, this is gonnabe north of Child's High School off of
Thomasville Road back when Commissioner de Logewas in office. Never got built.
Then they swapped some property. Nowit's gonna be off of Centerville Road,
just below um Roberts Elementary School.So there's a fifty acre track right there

(37:29):
off of Centerville Road. It willbe right next to Centerville Road. Oh
yeah, let's add some more trafficthere and there you got a good segue.
So Claren Homeowners Association reached an agreementon Wilanie Boulevard that there would only
be two connections to Centerville Road.One would be at Shamrock and one would
be up at Shamrock and Robert Imean one would be at Shamrock in Centerville,

(37:49):
another would be at Roberts Road inCenterville. And they also agreed that
they would open those roads at thesame time so there wouldn't be traffic through
the Clarina States neighborhood. They're veryconcerned about that. Well, now comes
they agreed to that. But afterthat this park got moved to Centerville Road
and guess what, we need anentrance to the center to the park.
Correct, But it seems like nowthat there are some moves to build another

(38:14):
connecting road um that comes off ofCenterville Road to that goes to Wilani Boulevard
and that is the access to thepark. And the kha Um people are
not happy. I met with them, and you know, the city is
the one that is permitting the parkfor land that is owned by the county.

(38:37):
Get that. Get that through yourme. Say that again. Wait,
let me why did we not Whywas there not an effort to do
the park where the land originally weresupposed to be, where it was supposed
to be built. You mean outin the north of Childs. Yeah.
Yeah, there were some issues withum they have they have burns out there

(38:57):
on the because there's plantations out thereand they earn regularly I guess to keep
the brushdown. Evidently that's a hazard, like if you're doing ball games or
whatever out there. And so youknow, I think somebody else just wanted
that land and they you know,figured out they would do the swap.
Um and it's it's a ways outthere too where the park was going to
be. So that was that wasresolved, I guess right after, right

(39:21):
around when the commissioner Welch was elected. And so now, um, this
is the location of the park,and you know it fits nicely in where
the school is and very close toClarina States, you know, in Clarinacres
neighborhoods. But now obviously there's adebate about the access and I also now
this is something that has not beenreported, there's also some debate on who

(39:43):
is going to ultimately build the park. Uh. Like I said, this
is within the city limits. Thecounty owns the property. However, the
county doesn't really do parks. It'smore of the city. Um. I
was just recently at a park atSouthwood that was open for Oaks Park,
beautiful park, and actually city acity staff built that park. And so

(40:04):
now there's a debate going on aboutwho's going to build the park. I
say, let the city build it, and then we can keep complaining that
the county doesn't have a park inthe northeast. There you go, that
would fit. Um, so therewas a commissioner Welts would not like that.
Oh well that's all right, yeah, and so um, I think
there's gonna be a debate about that. I think building the park, I

(40:28):
think it's gonna be people need tolook at what's going to be at the
park. I was just gonna askyou, what's what's scheduled to be there.
Well, if they put in thebig swimming pools and all that,
Oh no, no, no,this is gonna no, it's not gonna
be a community center. Um,that's sort of I hear that there's gonna
be volleyball courts and you know,there'll be some ball fields, but there's
some other issues that I beach volleyballor indoor beach. No, there's not

(40:49):
gonna be a gem. I mean, it's just not gonna be This is
gonna be like a five to eightmillion dollars deal, which I don't think
you can get a gem for that, And so I think it's important that
people pay attention to what they're youknow, what kind of amenities are going
to be there. Um because wellagain when you start looking at city parks
and county parks, they're very different. County parks are more about greenways and

(41:12):
walking around and city parks are morededicated. Well they're community centers, well
normally they are, but we don'thave one. North North Northeast doesn't get
one of those. We do notWe do not have a gem in a
pool where we don't have anybody toname it after. That's why we got
plenty plenty of people to Preston Scott. We don't have anybody to name it
after. That's why we don't geta community center anyway. So this is

(41:35):
going to become addressed at a blueprintmeeting. I think it's May eleventh,
so we'll be paying attention to that. More were Steve Stewart Tallask Reports again
Talask Reports dot Com back with moreon the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(41:57):
Final segments Steve Stewart Tallash Reports Catchyyep on what's going on inside the capital
city. Subscribe you will be thefirst to see and read and hear about
a lot of it at Telasreports dotCom. Stephen Leon County Schools and the
Superintendent. Yes, so I wantedto talk to you stay at the superintendent.
That's the issue that I wanted totalk about, you know, superintend
to Hannah is there's an investigation underwaywith Florida Department of Education and it's been

(42:22):
known that it was going on.Now it looks like that is ramped up
um and a lot of it stemsfrom some very practical things. I mean,
you remember the du letter that cameout topically directing you know, teachers
could be interpreted that way. Butthere's some other things that that Superintendent to
Hannah are being is being you know, investigated for. Some of it involves

(42:44):
public safety issues at the schools thatthey didn't have the proper officers based on
the state of state law. Sothere's a lot of nuts and bolts issues.
But one of the things I wantedto talk about is how the media
is playing this. I mean,there's this move um every the media is
almost now trying to predict what Ronde Santists is going to do so they

(43:04):
can write about it and sort ofbe ahead of it. There was a
story that broke that started getting tractiona couple weeks ago about a DA,
a district attorney in Orlando being goingto be removed by Ron de Santists,
and it was all based on apress conference that was scheduled around Orlando heading
to do with law enforcement. Gotto the point to where even the DA
I think, started getting where hedidn't started posting on social media. Nothing

(43:28):
happened, you know, they hadthe press conference was not related to that.
And so we're starting to see thatI think a little bit here because
we're talking about, oh, well, Ron de Santis is coming after Rocky
Hannah because Rocky Hanna disagrees with Ronde Santis on school choice and all these
different issues. Well, you know, I think you need to wait and
let the investigation move forward, butyou might have to remind Ron de Santis

(43:51):
who Rocky Hannah is, to behonest with. Well, and that's a
that's a great point because you know, the floridade An official there said,
look, this is a normal investoration. It happens all the time. There
is nothing special about this, andI mean they have a professional practice division.
If you go on a website andyou look at the database where people
are reprimanded for various things, teachers, administrators. So this is not you

(44:15):
know, this is not a surprise. But again with the way the media
culture operates now, you know thisis they've got to have clicks, they've
got to try to leave. They'renot reporting, they're trying to lead the
narrative now, and and you knowwhen they do report, they for example,
this Taalased Classical story continues to beIf you look at the writer at

(44:38):
the Talased Democrat on this issue,she is tweeting out all kinds of different
things. We're still relating to thatissue with Tallas Classical that I would argue
are factually wrong. But again itgets back to how the media has to
promote stories, and it's how theymake money because they've got to generate the
interest and this is how they doit. Is it fair to draw a

(45:00):
connection between using the talased classical storybetween the fact that you've got a charter
school now that has been in theheadlines for reasons that are not necessarily accurate,
and the fact that superintendent Hannah hatescharter schools. I mean, is

(45:22):
there a little connecting of the dogsthere between the reporter's agenda and the superintendence.
Oh no, there's a direct line. Look, the complaint was fed
to the complaint against Rocky Hannah wasfed to the talas a democrat, you
know, And so I think thereis a clear agenda. If you talk
to anybody off the record, theeducation reporter is biased towards public schools and

(45:44):
the hand administration, and so youknow, hey, that's just the way
it is. I you know,we try to report the facts on both
sides. We reported on the tallasedclassical issue, but it appears that that
is a divide that you know,when you say they don't like charter schools,
you know, there are a coupleof charter schools that have been here
for a long time that have beenaccepted. So then you wonder if it's

(46:07):
more about a political ideology than itis actual charter schools when you really get
started feeling back fair observation, Yeah, because you know, there's there's some
charter schools that are accepted here nowit is talasted classical. Just to finish
on that point, are they infact pursuing looking into legal charges. You
know, we heard a lot aboutthat, and I wrote a story about
that, but I have not heardanything since then. And this had to

(46:30):
do with the way the media portrayedit and from what the way the laws
written. What you have to dois you have to take the time to
write to each media outlet and givethem a certain amount of time to issue
a retraction. That's part of thelegal process. And I'm not sure if
it's fifteen or twenty days, butthat has not I have not heard anything

(46:51):
about that since the initial m there. We had a story that they had
actually hired counsel. I have notheard anything since then. All right,
as always, thank you, thankyou, pres and Steve Stewart would talast
here reports twenty seven minutes after thehour back with news, weather, traffic,
the big stories in the press boxand more and this is the Preston

(47:15):
Scotch Show. Well heck, Iwish it wasn't the case that the big
stories in the press box are whatthey are. But for those of you

(47:36):
that might be sort of new tothe radio program, we are in acquired
taste. You just give us,give us about a week and you'll be
here even if you disagree, becausethere will be something that just resonates about
what we talk about and how wetalk about it. The big stories in
the press box are not necessarily thestories that are making headlines. Sometimes they

(48:02):
are, but I'm of the opinionyou'll get a lot of that stuff in
the news at the top and bottomof the hour. It'll be talked about
by Glenn Back, Clay and Buckand whoever you listen to throughout the day.
I tend to lean into, youknow, there are three buckets.

(48:22):
There's there are the stories that youare talking about that are that are newsworthy,
no doubt. There are the storiesthat you will be talking about where
we get a story and we're like, Okay, we're on the cusp of
this. We're at the front ofthe wave. If you will, just
looking out over the ocean, thewave is starting to break. We're ahead
of this. Here's what's coming.But the category I tend to lean into

(48:45):
the most is the category of thethings that you should be talking about because
of the intersection that medicine plays inour lives and in the life of our
children. For example, if youwant your child to be in public school,
you will have to have them vaccinatedwith certain vaccines to protect against routine,

(49:13):
you know, problematic viruses. Now, I don't personally have an issue
with it, that's just my personalconviction. I don't have a problem with
vaccines for mumps or measles, orsmallpox or polio. I'm okay with that.
That's just where I'm at. I'mokay with my you know, I

(49:35):
was fine with my children participating insports, they had those shots, and
going to public schools and at differenttimes in their lives. But how do
you reconcile pediatricians recommending the vaccine withjust their rational judgment on any number of

(49:58):
other things that you might bring yourchild to be looked at. How do
you get past a growing number ofpediatricians? And this is one of the
big stories in the press box.The literature tells us that kids can start
around age four having their gender identity. What and that at least one of

(50:22):
the major medical centers in the world, Duke University, Duke, North Carolina,
East Carolina. It seems to bea problem in North Carolina. They're
offering gender affirming care to children thatare toddlers. That's a violation of the

(50:46):
hippocratic oath to do no harm.So that's why it's a big story because
I think it's huge that you parent, especially your parents that have young children,
that you understand the shift that ishappening in medicine, that you be

(51:12):
well aware that you might have todo a search for a pediatrician, a
doctor that has their head on straightbecause there's nothing There is no chance I

(51:35):
will I will trust the judgment ofa doctor who took the path of vaccine.
Only now if they took the pathof vaccine to stay to stay employed,
but privately offered their patients other options. Okay, you got to play
the game to keep helping people.I get it. But how do you

(52:00):
trust the judgment of a pediatrician that'srecommending the vaccine? How do you trust
the judgment of pediatrician that believes thatthat gender is fluid? I think you
should be talking about it. Hencethe big story The Morning Show with Preston

(52:20):
Scott on news Radio one hundred pointseven w FLA. Tell me what you
think. You can always grite mePreston at iHeartRadio dot com and always follow
us at t MS Preston Scott onTwitter. Let's talk about our pets.

(52:42):
Sometimes you just got a time.We gotta take a time out of the
old baby and talk about something else. And so it's time for pause for
thought at perfect name, Doctor SteveStepson of the Bradfordville Animal Hospital, Hello,
sir, how are you hey,Preston. I'm doing great. How
are you? I'm doing well.Last time you and I visited, we
started talking about the temperature creep.We know that we've enjoyed some great weather

(53:06):
in the last few days, butwe know the heat and humidity is coming.
And we talked a little bit aboutsome of the protocols for our pets
when we leave them outside during theday, and making sure they have shade
and water and all that. I'mcurious, what are the conditions that you
start seeing in practice as the heatbuilds up with dogs and or cats.

(53:27):
Yeah, prest Necessarily, we seeplenty of dogs that come in with heat
exhaustion, not quite the point ofheat stroke. They're just overheated and we
cool them down. They'll do verywell. Of Course, you do see
dogs of heat stroke occasionally, Thankfully, not that much anymore. Most people
are aware of the conditions they are. Dogs and cats stay in we see
a lot of skin problems when there'sin the summertime as well humidity we have

(53:49):
in Tallahassee are in North Florida.We'll see plenty of dogs and cats that
come in and have all kinds ofskin conditions and rashes, and the heat
and humidity here creates a big partof that. So that's another common thing
that we'll see this time of year. Are there two separate conditions, one
dealing with heat and another dealing withhumidity. Yes, there can be,

(54:14):
because certainly you can be out inthe desert and you have you can have
heat related issues where there's not anyhumidity. Dogs and cats can get sunburned
as well if their coats not thickenough. You gotta be aware of that.
Cats especially will see these light coloredcats that have a light fur,
and they can get sunburned and evencreate all kinds of sores and lesions on
their ears and on their nose tip, which is a very common thing that

(54:37):
we'll see in cats because of directsunlight. Okay, now, what about
a short coated dog. You know, there are a lot of a lot
of breeds out there that don't havelong coats, and so i'd never even
considered the fact that they could getsunburn. Oh. Absolutely, yes,
a thin coat or a really shortcoat, whether skin is exposed, they

(54:58):
don't have the protection of that layerof fur to protect their skin. Absolutely,
they can get sunburned and just likeus, and it can create tremendous
problems for them. So if youhave a pet that has a very shorter,
thin coat, you definite need tobe aware of that. Usually they're
smart enough to get out of thesun and you might lay in the sun
on the driveway for a little while, but then they'll move and get out
of the sun and go to theshade. But if your pet's not doing

(55:21):
that and you know that it's goingto be exposed to sun, you need
to take care of that. Okay, I'm going to ask the dumb question,
but I excel at that. Infact, I've been paid twenty one
years to ask dumb questions, DoctorStevenson. A lot of people bring their
dogs to the beach. And ifyou've got a dog, and I think
our default thinking is okay, it'sgot a short coat, it's cooler by

(55:43):
default. But I'm wondering about reflectedsun because we can get a sunburn sitting
in the shade with just the sunreflecting off water off the sand. Do
dogs face that same issue, youknow, president as stratly as possible.
Again, all back to the qualityof their hair coat. Okay, far
as that is concerned. You know, we don't see dogs with sunburned that

(56:05):
often, so it's not a commonthing for Okay, you know, dogs
that go to the beach. Thenumber one thing we see these alls come
back in a few days after theminute of the beach because they're having some
sort of gi distress, volunteering ordiarrhea, because they ate some beach sand
where they found a dead crab orsomething, which dogs can do, or
they drank too much salt water.And so that's always the biggest concern when

(56:25):
you take your pet to the beachis what are they ingesting while they're there
at the beach and down the beachright fresh water and make sure they don't
ingest too much of that saltwater ortry and eat the sand where they find
something dead. Okay, last questionbefore we go. Hot spots, um
you talked about them already. Theystart showing up little little areas, little
scabs that develop over time. Isthat best treated by people like you,

(56:52):
or are there treatments that if youstart seeing hot spots on your dog that
you can remedy that yourself. Youknow, we use some patients that will
get hot spots regularly. We knowthey are predisposed to those, and so
in those patients we will tell themas soon as you see a little spot
in beginning right away, start treatingthat for some antibotic cortizone cream. Okay,

(57:13):
keep it, keep it nice andclean. Bathe it really well,
clean all of that scabbing off ofthere, and sometimes you can mip it
and you can prevent that thing frombecoming a full blown hot spot. So
you you get the scab off ofit. Yeah, Oddly enough, what
happens there is the bacteria on theskin, and actually bacteria actually can propagate

(57:34):
and hide under that scab. Sothe situation of a hot spot, the
scab actually is counterproductive, okay,which is not intuitive to what we think,
but in those situations that scabs counterproductive, so you want to remove it,
and you can sometimes prevent that frombecoming a full blown hot spot.
And we don't have to take careof it in the hospital. If your
dogs enough, come see us,if your dog's licking at that spot constantly,

(57:55):
let it go or stop the dogfrom doing it, and treat it
best to keep them off of it, don't let them lick it, and
get it to dry out thoroughly sothat it can feel okay, good stuff,
Doctor Steverson. We'll talk again ina couple of weeks. Thank you,
great, Thanks Preston. All right, doctor Steve Steverson with us this
morning from the Bradfordville Animal Hospital.Pause for Thought, an exclusive presentation of

(58:21):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.You overwhelmed. It's the Morning Show with
Preston's Scott. I just quick reminderfor those of you in and around the
Capitol City. The WC thirteen Wellthirteen one thirty j Hercules and the WP

(58:45):
three d Oriyan will be at theTallassee International Airport in the old Terminal one
thirty this afternoon one thirty to four. The gates closed at three thirty.
It's no charge to meet the hurricanehunters. You can tour the aircraft and

(59:07):
learn a little bit about a hurricaneprep, especially if you're new to the
area but a big fan of thoseplanes. That's just cool stuff. Can't
say i'd want to ride around inone jumping in the midst of a hurricane,
although flying around the inner wall ofa hurricane would probably be pretty amazing,

(59:30):
and then you get outside of itand it's just you're just buffeted all
over the place. Quick reminder,we still need your assistance. AM radio
matters. We've listed the reasons hurricanes, among them, emergencies, disasters.
A lot of people rely on AMradio, and a lot of the automobile
makers are thinking of ending AM radioas an offering on their vehicles, and

(59:53):
so we're just asking you to makea simple text and text letters AM to
five to eight eight six. Wehave detailed personal experiences as well as the
experiences of others and the role thatAM radio plays for some people. You

(01:00:17):
know, AM actually travels further thanFM signals, and for many AM is
the connection to whatever's going on.AM, I will also point out,
is a connecting point to a wholelot of talk radio. Now, not
our show. We're on FM.Wouldn't bother me if we were bouncing around

(01:00:39):
on AM all over the place,And that'd be awesome. In fact,
that would be like really cool.If we just took over the AM bands
in Florida just this show twenty fourseven. Just read it over and over
and over and over. Just airthe show eight times a day on AM
radios stations across across the state.I'd settled for Florida. That said,

(01:01:05):
we just we could use your help, AM, and texted to five to
eight eighty six. All right,simple as that. All right, this
one's a little different, taking youon a road trip. These are ideas

(01:01:27):
now, and you don't have totake it. You don't have to take
these ideas because this one's a littleout of the box. I don't know
what's going on with my voice firstanyway. The Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast
Museum. You know about the wholeLizzie Borden's story. No, you don't

(01:01:51):
know. First time I've heard thename. Lizzie Borden took an axe and
gave her mother forty wax, andwhen she saw what she had done,
gave her father forty one. Neveraccused of murdering her parents. Oh how
long agoes this? Eight? No? I haven't heard of it. The
actual house where the horrible event happenedis a bed and breakfast and a museum.

(01:02:22):
Now, like I said, it'sjust it's not for everybody, but
the original home stands so Fall River, Massachusetts. There you go, Lizzie
Board and Bed and Breakfast Museum.Just second, it's an idea. Can

(01:02:54):
you believe it? I'm still hereafter four thousand, nine hundred and twenty
one shows. Here we are withshow number four thousand, nine hundred and
twenty two, This Morning Show withPreston Scott. I'm Preston. That's Grant
Allen over there in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B.
It's Thursday, May fourth. Greatto be with you, I know,

(01:03:16):
May the fourth be with you.All Right, We've gotten that out of
the way, and I'm thrilled tohave with us this morning. One of
my favorite guests in the history ofthis show. He is the chairman of
Project twenty one. Horace Cooper,Horace, welcome back. How are you?
Good morning? It's great to builda program. How you doing well?
A little allergy, but other thanthat, I'm really excited about a

(01:03:39):
lot of the things that are goingon. I just made a visit to
Washington for the Federalist Society, whereI did a presentation and getting to see
again up close all of Washington whenI used to live here and work here.
It's really remarkable. You are Yousound a little more up then I

(01:04:00):
think a lot of our listeners feelright now. How is it that you
feel upbeat? Well, there area couple of things. You know.
I didn't get a chest to comeon your program right after the election.
Our friends in the media have donea really, really great disservice by how
they reported what happened in the midtermelection in America today, conservatives or the

(01:04:26):
GOP have three times as many statelegislatures with supermajorities, which mean, like
in Kansas, when the liberal Democratvetoed the Born Alive Bill, the supermajority
in the state legislature overrode that andprotected unborn children. The same is true

(01:04:48):
in North Carolina. And as Isay, we picked up we Conservatives picked
up record numbers of state legislators.We won three state wide races in Nevada
on November twenty second. And I'mtelling you all of this, including the
governorship. I'm telling you all ofthis to say that the National Journal and

(01:05:11):
the New York Times said that ifNovember twenty second had been a presidential year,
Republicans or Conservatives would have gotten twohundred and ninety seven electoral votes.
And I'm going to close this pointwith this. If my beloved Cowboys were
favored in the Super Bowls by twentyone points and we only won by three

(01:05:36):
when the game ends, you betterbelieve I'm wearing my jersey. What the
media did was tell us even thoughwe won, even though we're favored,
we didn't win because we didn't winas big as we quote should have,
and a lot of us have fallenfor that. There's some truth to that,

(01:05:59):
though at least in the Senate,isn't there Well, it's some truth
to it that in twenty eighteen,President Trump in the mid term gain seats
in the United States Senate, andyet because we didn't do so well in
the House of Representatives, in fact, we lost complete control. We didn't

(01:06:20):
get credit for the win in theSenate anymore than the Democrats do. I'll
give you a more data. Acouple million more Americans voted for the GOP
nationwide than voted for the Democrats.And thanks to the Census, the electoral

(01:06:45):
college is shifting so that this electiontwenty twenty four is going to be the
first one with the new Electoral Collegethat is now favoring the GOP more than
the Democrats. The state Supreme Courtin North Carolina was up for elections and

(01:07:08):
a couple new votes came on boardthe state Supreme Court and they struck down
excuse me, they overturned the voterid law that the old Supreme Court had
ruled unconstitutional. And here's something evenmore important. They also overturned the ruling

(01:07:28):
saying that you can't have the legislaturedecide the congressional seats layout without some sort
of DOJ or NAACP review, Meaningin twenty twenty four, they's likely going
to be a net four seat gamefor the GOP. There are a lot

(01:07:55):
of reasons to think that we arepoised to push back control of power boat
locally but also nationally, reversing someof the most odious policies that we've seen
in a generation. Horse standby HoraceCooper with me. He's the chairman of
Project twenty one, former constitutional lawprofessor at George Mason University, senior counsel

(01:08:21):
to the US House Majority Leader DickArmony back in the day. More importantly,
he's our guest here in the MorningShow with Preston's kind. It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott's He chairsProject twenty one. Project twenty one friends
of the radio program for a longtime now, I mean we're going on

(01:08:44):
well over a decade and Horace.For those that are new to the show,
describe Project twenty one. What isit? What's it all about?
So? Project twenty one is anational organization that is promoting how the mainstream
media ignores Black Americans that happen notto be liberals or happen not to be

(01:09:05):
progressive, and maintains the mindset thatin America, your race does not determine
your political affiliation or anything really aboutyou. We are made up of moderates
and conservatives and even some libertarians,and we promote strong families, We promote

(01:09:28):
personal responsibility, we promote limited government. And we do so because there has
always been this element within Black America, and what the mainstream media has told
us is that Jesse Jackson and alNaso Sharpton have more of a connection with
Black America. And we argue thatactually we're in the mainstream of where America

(01:09:54):
is and where blacks are, ratherthan those groups like the yeah, you
know people like me get criticized becausewe opposed former President Barack Obama, we
opposed Kamala Harris, and we're toldit's because we're racists and bigots, and
my answers know they're incompetent, andthey're wrong. Obama very competent, but

(01:10:17):
just wrong Kamala Harris, though she'sa whole other thing here. Have you
ever seen such a level of incompetence, Actually I haven't. I was on
Fox News and I was asked thisquestion. I said at the time,
and I stand by it. Sheis the most incompetent vice president that we

(01:10:40):
have seen in these United States.Being vice president is not on the job
training. Now. When Joe Bidennamed her to his ticket, very little
media coverage. Again, you havesort of dig through and see several polls
came out in in twenty twenty,and they showed that she was not well

(01:11:05):
liked by blacks. In fact,more black Americans said they were less likely
to vote for Joe Biden with heron the ticket after she was named.
It is remarkable, however, thatthis administration, which has been the most

(01:11:25):
destructive to what I would call theAmerican way, highlights and if an election
announcement how much of an important placethe Vice president has played. I put
this in the category of and asif they say, if you vote for
Joe Biden, you're gonna get KamalaHarris. I put this in the category

(01:11:47):
of from us a threat. Butisn't Kamala in fact Joe Biden's insurance policy.
I mean, I've always viewed thatone of the reins Why they haven't
thrown him under the bus yet withthe Hunter Biden thing, which I still
think can happen to make the wayfor somebody else to run for president,

(01:12:08):
that Kamala being the heir apparent tothe White House if Joe is forced out,
if steps down or has an issuethat ensures Joe stays on the job.
Well, now see that's the ironyis you're exactly correct. So why
put in your video how essential shehas been. The only real role that

(01:12:30):
it seems like she has played.Is you better not get rid of me
because look cool you'll be left withBut they're leading with here. Vote for
me and you'll get her. It'sreally, in my viebe very much off
message. But again, here's themore important point. People can agree or

(01:12:51):
disagree, but when you look atthe level of incompetence. We've got a
press secretary that's grossly incompetent. Wenamed a man, well, I guess
we named a woman, Rachel Lunine, to be the deputy a secretary over
at HHS. We named another manover at the Department of Transportation. What

(01:13:15):
we are seeing is incompetence, likejust unbelievable. Mister Mayorcus order control.
How is that in any way possible? With his leadership? This president has
named people who have been really goodat doing one thing, tearing up whatever

(01:13:35):
it is that they are in chargeof. Be careful. Those racist bridges
might drop on you as you driveby, or that racist bus might take
you to the wrong stops. Thisis fantasy land, and yet these are
the kinds of people that this presidenthas chosen. When you think of Kamala

(01:13:58):
Harris, you have to ask yourselfif in fact she is an exemplar of
blacks or women. Doesn't it thereforefollow that we can't have blacks or women
in authority. They are setting backthe notion that talented people come in all
kinds of groups, because the setupthat this president has chosen is to pit

(01:14:24):
the most incompetent, the most failedpeople possible. Horace. Always a pleasure.
Glad to have you back on theprogram. We'll talk again soon.
Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, Horace Cooper with us
this morning from Project twenty one.Let's go through this, uh rap sheet

(01:15:08):
and I'm not talking which I'm nottalking that kind of rap sheet word I
am. I'm talking about this onefirst encounter with LAPD Los Angeles, early
spring twenty twenty, the first yearin office of District Attorney George A.

(01:15:34):
Gascon George Gascon the Los Angeles DA. This particular woman was arrested for attempted
murder after she stabbed a woman inthe chest with a knife, puncturing her
lung twenty twenty. Now, immediately, what's your thought? The crime is

(01:16:02):
attempted murder. She stabbed a womanin the chest so deeply it punctured her
lung. I mean, surely she'sin prison, right, just sounds like
la on a Tuesday. But Imean your mind defaults to, Okay,

(01:16:25):
this, she's got to be inprison. Well, with the way you're
framing this, you know better.Yeah. Prosecution of the crime was delayed
into twenty twenty one. Because ofCOVID by then, the court reduced her
charges to assault with a deadly weapon. It's still a felony. It counts

(01:16:45):
to the one strike under California's threestrikes laws, but prosecutors agreed to a
deal where Brookfield, the young ladyin question is Jade Simone Brookfield, just
twenty three, was given mental healthdiversion instead of jail time. So she
stabs a woman in the chest,trying to kill her, and Gascon's office

(01:17:11):
says, nah no, she justneeds a little counseling. Well, she
terminated her involvement with the diversion program, but she was permitted to have another
chance, so she was given diversionagain. In twenty twenty one, she
was arrested for battery of a peaceofficer. She was given mental health diversion

(01:17:33):
again. Gascon's office dismissed the case. Three months later, she was arrested
for a third time for making criminalthreats. She allegedly assaulted a mand How
about that she pulled two knives threatenedto kill a guy. Despite the record
recent record, prosecutors rejected the case. No, not enough evidence, nah

(01:17:58):
no. She remained in the mentalhealth diversion program. But in March of
twenty three, she's arrested a fourthtime, another felony assault with a knife.
Swung a knife several times at abus driver who missed her bus stop.
She wanted to get off the bus. So, of course, what
do you do when your bus drivermissed your bus stop? You pull a

(01:18:19):
knife and you threaten to kill him. I think she just needs more mental
health diversion. Well, here's what'sinteresting. So this time she got released
from custody with an ankle monitor.Woo, they're really coming down hard.
Weeks later last month, she gotinto an argument with a man in the

(01:18:41):
street. This time she killed him, stabbed him to death. The response
of George Gascoone's office, we appreciatethe public concern when someone is participating in
a mental health program and allegedly commitsa serious crime Allegedly, our prosecutors may
the best decisions they can in lightof all the available information. Our heart

(01:19:03):
goes out to all the victims inthis matter, and we stand ready to
support them in their journey to healing. George Gascone is a criminal. Yeah,
he is a criminal. And howpeople like that are are given the
chance to occupy an office that important. It's all on voters. It's like

(01:19:29):
you've said, if it's not intentional, then what is it they're causing havoc
in society on purpose? Twenty eightminutes after the hour, it's The Morning
Show with Preston Scott, The MorningShow with Preston Scott on News Radio one

(01:19:49):
hundred point seven wuf LA. Seewhat happened there? Sorry, hear what
happened there? In the last segment, I gave Grant the last word.

(01:20:19):
Huh, I'm a benevolent dictator.There's nothing more. I need a dad
summed it up quite nicely. Bigstories in the press box. We have
discussed today the absurdity of what's happeningat Duke University Medical Center, University of

(01:20:42):
North Carolina, East Carolina, theirmedical programs where they are offering gender affirming
care to children as young as twoyears old. They're trans in the kids
like it's just it's sick, andyou can't reason with people who genuinely think

(01:21:06):
that there's a spectrum of gender.I don't know what I would do if
I were confronted with parents with youngchildren who actually believe this stuff. I

(01:21:31):
would so badly want to grab thechildren and run. Well, all of
a sudden, you'd be put inthis really awkward place where you're like,
yeah, this is child Do Ineed to call someone? Because this is
just this is wrong. These childrenare being threatened. Their own children's lives

(01:21:53):
are being threatened by their own parents, understanding that. In testimony given to
the State of Louisiana lawmakers, theylisten to one mother justify her assisting her
daughter to transition to a son becauseshe had odd food choices when she was

(01:22:15):
little, and I can hear someof the people say, well, it's
the parents, right. Parents havemany rights, but getting there parts surgically
altered is not one of them.No, we have child abuse laws.
Yeah, children are human beings anduntil their adults, have every right to

(01:22:41):
maintain their biological gender until they decideto seek something else if that's what they
want to do. When you considerthe overwhelming I mean, we're past supermajority
over eighty nine of these kids withgender questions returned to their biological gender,

(01:23:08):
they end up right there. Thinkabout the numbers of kids that are being
pushed into something else and will eventuallyhave horrifying, life altering pain for the
rest of your life inducing procedures,drugs, surgeries, plus the counseling that

(01:23:30):
comes with it, and they wouldhave returned to their imagine where we're going.
Another parent gave testimony that the reasonthat she reasoned that her child was
a boy was because her daughter playedwith boys toys and was attracted to toys

(01:23:54):
for boys in the toy aisle atthe store. I want to say a
bad word here, so badly holy. And this is the Morning Show with
Preston Scott forty one minutes after thehour, the radio program known as The

(01:24:24):
Morning Show with me Okay with PrestonScott. That would be neat and that's
him, that's Grant. I knowthat some of you have been waiting for
us to discuss this. There's nothingprofound that we're going to say, because
this is such an obvious story requiringno analysis at all, but because there

(01:24:53):
are some that rely on us forstories, I'm gonna go ahead and talk
about for just a few moments here. You may not know, but Mission
Barbecue across the country. They area franchise. At noon every day,

(01:25:15):
they play the national anthem inside theirrestaurants, and they fully expect people to
stand up and to pay respects.That's the whole point. Now, they're
probably not kicking you out of therestaurant if you don't, but you're gonna
feel real awkward because most everybody walksinto that place understanding that's the drill,

(01:25:36):
and a lot of people love goingthere at noon for that reason. You've
been there, I've been there.It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool to
know that you're having lunch surrounded bypeople that believe in this nation. Well,

(01:25:57):
there's another restaurant, Rainbow Oaks Restaurantin Fallbrook, California. First problem,
California. They're in California. Secondindicator, Rainbow. Yeah, but
that's that has nothing to do withit. That's just that, that's just
a coincidence. Yea. They area bar and they play the Star Spangled

(01:26:18):
banner every day, and while therestaurant was playing it, a TikTok users
recording it and records by far themost dangerous situation I've ever been in,
using the hashtags god, bless America, hashtag, get out, hashtag illegal,

(01:26:42):
hashtag, white people things. Afterward, the post that she then said
I hated it there so much,and then I mean everyone on TikTok blew
up. One comment, this feelsso dystopian. Being in a room with

(01:27:15):
people that stood for the national anthemfeels so dystopian. Another person in Spain,
we don't even hear the national anthemthat much, so this would one
freak me out so much. Otherscalled it wild, scary, terrifying.

(01:27:35):
Restaurant owner said, yeah, wewon't be stopping anytime. And that's that's
the reason why I wanted to talkabout this. When the left attempts to
demonize you stand your ground. Whybecause the good people that have the deeper

(01:28:00):
pockets will support you. These littlescared snowflakes, they're not gonna they're not
paying your bills anyway. They mightbuy the meal occasionally, but once they
learn you're patriotic, they're gone,or they're gonna try to make your life

(01:28:23):
a living hell. Don't worry.The good will outweigh the bad. Stayed
the course, all right, fiftyone minutes pass. Glenbeck comes up next,

(01:28:49):
Clay and Buck after that. Ithink they're coming in town next week.
I think Clay and Bucker are doingtheir show in town next week.
Capital City probably here for something dealingwith the governor. I don't know,
they're buds came across the study Herethey examine how museum museums can enhance a

(01:29:23):
visitor's experience, and what they cameup with was interesting. Visitors at a
museum that displayed full descriptions of theartwork in front of them had more return
visits of those same people and hadhigher satisfaction results from the visit. So

(01:29:48):
if you're sitting in front of youknow, if you're if you're there taking
in a piece of art, andmaybe abstract modern art, and you're just
looking at it and it's got alabel says sky's regret you're looking at it.

(01:30:15):
Huh okay. But if they describewhat that painting is, to let
the artists describe what they were painting, that the visitor looks at that and
goes, oh, okay, Isee that, and they get more out

(01:30:40):
of the experience. Makes sense.It makes sense that a descriptive paragraph enhances
the enjoyment of viewing art. I, for one, in one of those
that I like to see a littlebit of a caption on whatever it is
I'm looking at, whether it's todisplay, whether it's um something historical,

(01:31:04):
you know, context for example,on history museums. I love it.
I love understanding what makes this significantand in paintings it makes sense. It's
there's probably a purist somewhere that's like, no, no, no, no,
no no. And I don't havea strong opinion one way or the
other. Cool, I would sayto the abstract artist that wants you to

(01:31:25):
take out of it whatever you wantto take out of it, that's called
a Rorshach test. Yeah, kindof yea. And and you know,
if you want your art to bea blot test, cool, that's fine,
don't don't put a caption under it. But by and large, people
need parameters guidance to understanding kind ofthing. I think. I think so,
yeah, I think it helps.But I'm just I'm it was interesting

(01:31:46):
to me because here's a study thatbuttresses what I think. That's always a
good thing. Brought to you byBaronet Heating and Air. It's the Morning
Show one eight on WFLA National Dayof Prayer today starting at noon at the
State Capitol in the courtyard between theOld and the New Capitol here in Florida.

(01:32:12):
In Tallahassee music at eleven thirty.Prayer begins at noon and then across
the country at noon in each timezone, at state capitols all over the
fifty States, there's going to beprayer. That's cool. So if you
feel this wave of a yearning topray at the top of the hour beginning

(01:32:33):
at noon, and then at one, and then at two, then at
three, you're joining with others acrossthe nation. Do it. Pray Also
today, if you're in the CapitolCity area Hurricane Awareness Tour, a couple
of the Hurricane Hunter airplanes will beon display for you to tour. You
can take a look. Just goto the you'll see signs and all that.

(01:32:55):
They'll be at the old terminal atthe International Airport. Big stories in
the press box. University of Texaswants to change women WO M e N
to women WI AM M I N. Meanwhile, top medical programs for children

(01:33:18):
at Duke University, University of NorthCarolina, etc. Are offering gender affirming
care to children as young as two. Parents. Do not believe for one
second this is isolated to those facilitiesin North Carolina. This is happening nationwide.

(01:33:41):
Tomorrow What's to be Friday, GoodNews, animal stories, the b
and so much more. I can'twait to share that time with you,
have a great day.
