Episode Transcript

(00:18):
Well, alrighty, then let's startThursday, final show of the week long
weekend around here twenty show with PrestonScott. Great to be with you this
morning show number forty nine thirty seven. I'm Preston. That's grant. It
is May twenty fifth. Will takea peek at that in history in just

(00:40):
a few moments. Our scripture todaycomes from Hebrews ten, twenty four and
twenty five, and let us considerhow to stir up one another to love
and good works, not neglecting tomeet together, as is the habit of
some, but encouraging one another.And all the more as you see the
day drawing near. That's interesting becausein the ESV translation they capitalize the day

(01:10):
day days capitalized. Well, whatwhat is that day? That? That
day the day of Christ's return.So let's back this out again, consider
how to stir one another to loveand good works. I gotta call yesterday

(01:36):
from a colleague who said, Ihave a good friend who listens to your
show every day, big fan,and he shared the resume of this gentleman,
and it's, you know, it'san impressive resume of dedicating one's life
to the betterment of others. Andhe said on his door he has m

(02:00):
ad make uh difference first. Thatblessed my heart, because that is ultimately
our goal here. Is it greatto make a living doing something that you

(02:23):
love. Absolutely? Is it greatthat we have been sustained by your faithfulness
and support and encouragement and the growthof this radio program by just sheer word
of mouth and people stumbling upon itand staying. And I believe that's God's

(02:44):
favor. You bet the the sustainedsuccess of this program and ratings and revenue
for the company is that's just God. It just is. But ultimately what

(03:04):
matters the most to me is tospur you to consider ways to make a
difference in other people's lives by blessingother people. And sometimes it can be
by challenging their thinking. Sometimes itcan be by just putting an arm around

(03:30):
somebody and just letting them know you'rethere. Sometimes it can be just listening.
Sometimes it can be just encouraging.And I've met people in my life
that question their value, and theirvalue is found in that they're that person

(03:51):
that when you see them, you'rejust happier because they have a smile on
their face. They always seem tojust be an encouragement. You know people
like that. You might be someonewho is like that. That's making a
difference just being you. But therest of that verse, don't neglect meeting

(04:17):
together. That's church, that's beingin small groups, taking time to encourage
others as a group, and evenmore. And so you know what,
I kind of think of our meetingsfor three hours every day as that coming

(04:38):
together and in the midst of allof the stuff, finding ways to encourage
one another, and even more asyou see the day approaching, in other
words, as you see the chaosof the world, which just is what
it is, find ways. Wecertainly try to do that with some of

(05:00):
the things we talk about. Wetry to walk that tight rope and that
balanced point of making sure you knowwhat's going on, but giving you some
other things as well. But nomatter what in the things that are going
on that are a little bit dicey, always making sure that we find a
way to have a laugh in themidst of it, or find a way

(05:21):
through it, or to see apath of some sort or another that could
be encouraging. Mad the Mad RadioNetwork back on the air again for Thursday
on the radio program known as TheMorning Show with Preston Scott. To make
a difference radio network The Morning Showwith Preston Scott unused Radio one hundred point

(05:48):
seven WFLA. Take a peek insidethe American Patriots Almanac. Don't forget now.
Memorial Day weekend is here. Getout, enjoy, spend time,
grill some food. But remember,remember, remember, remember, and take

(06:11):
time to pray a prayer of thanksfor the men and women who have offered
their lives in sacrifice to defend thiscountry. And this goes back to our
founding, and pray that God's peaceand blessing would be on the family members

(06:32):
left behind. Just keep some contextto the weekend. Okay. May twenty
fifth, seventeen eighty seven Constitutional Conventionopens in Philadelphia after reaching a quorum of
seven states. Nineteen thirty five,Babe Ruth hits the last of his seven

(06:53):
hundred and fourteen home runs. Nineteensixty one, President John F. Kennedy
asked the nation to commit itself tothe goal of landing a man on the
Moon before this decade is out.We choose to go to the moon not

(07:15):
because it is easy, but becauseit is hard. That's right, That's
right. Good stuff nineteen sixty eight, the Gateway arch and Saint Louis is
dedicated nineteen seventy seven. Star Warsopens nineteen seventy seven, and we sat
there with our mouths open, andlittle did we know it was a plastic

(07:40):
model on a string. So whenit came out, yeah, did you
know, like immediately, Oh,this is amazing, this is everyone knew
immediately this smash hit absolutely absolutely goodversus evil. Yes, I man,
yes, I and I can sayI was I was a seventh well at

(08:05):
that time, I was sixteen,about to turn seventeen, my junior year
of high school. Because i've StarWars came out, I've always thought about
what the initial movie experience would havebeen like to go see Empire strikes Back
when Darth Vaders said I am yourfather. What were the audience reactions like?

(08:26):
Was were there some people like oh, there were gasps, Yeah,
that's what I yes. And I'vealways been curious is like those iconic movie
moments, what was the first initialexperience for the fan in the theaters.
I've always wondered the first time onthe screen when they I mean the opening
scene of Star Wars when the andI'm sure, it's got a more appropriate

(08:48):
title than I'm going to give it. Star Wars nerds know exactly what it's
called. But the the the thebattleship Cruiser of the Galactic Empire comes streaming
in from the top of the screenand you see this big thing. You're
just like, right, if youhad gum in your mouth, probably fell
onto your lap. I mean,it was just oh dude, yeah,

(09:11):
it was crazy. Yeah, yeah, boy. I've probably owned five different
copies of Star Wars, going fromVHS to maybe super VHS, to DVD
to another DVD because I wore thatDVD out to Blu Ray and maybe I

(09:35):
might I can't remember if I haveit in high def ultra high deaf now
or not. I don't know,but I will. I will have all
of them except the first three.First three it's like, yeah, I
have them, but it's like yeah, whatever, I don't care what format
there and I have them. Okay, I got them, but I want
the rest of them in four Kanyway, let's see. In two thousand

(09:56):
and eighth, the Phoenix bascraft landson Mars looking for evidence of microbial life,
and twenty twelve, the Dragon spacecraftby SpaceX becomes the first commercial spacecraft
rendezvous with the International Space Station.Can you believe it's been eleven years?
That's crazy? Hey, real quick? Tina Turner passed away. It was
announced yesterday. Icon just she was, she was. Proud. Mary River

(10:24):
Deep Mountain High resurrected her career inthe eighties with What's Love Got to Do
With It? The cover of AlGreen's classic Let's Stay Together one hundred and
fifty million records sold. Get yourmind around that. Eleven Grammys Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame is part ofthe Icon Tina Turner review. And then

(10:48):
in ninety one and then her solocareer landed her back in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. In twothousand and five, found her way into
movies with Mel Gibson. I mean, come on, she was, she
was, She was an icon.She was overused word, but not in
her case. Seventeen minutes after thearrest and Piece, twenty two minutes after

(11:22):
the hour the Morning Show with PrestonScott. A few minutes ago, Grant
and I were talking about Star Warsand the Star Wars experience, and I
know you guys talked about it overthe weekend on the Talent program. It's
it's an interesting dynamic. First ofall, did you know before the news
came out that they were closing itabout this Galactic Experienced hotel that Disney had?

(11:46):
No? When I heard it onTalent that was the first time i'd
heard it, and then I lookedit up. You are married to Miss
Disney. How did you not know? We've kind of been. I mean,
she's the unofficial Miss Disney US.Oh, I know, we've been
kind of been on a Disney's onthe Dodo list. I get it,

(12:07):
but still so I it's just kindof knowledge. Yeah, her knowledge of
all things Disney World. And Imean and by that I'm not talking about
like the movies and all that somuch as the Disney experience in person.
This dude is married to the lady. That's like the she knows everything.

(12:30):
If you ever wanted to go toa Disney theme park and wanted to know
how to make the best of yourday or two days or three days,
boom, she's your man. Sheknows all the cheat codes. But the
thing is is that was part ofthe problem. All the cheat codes.
I say cheat codes like I'm agamer, all of these different way insider

(12:56):
tips, Yeah, thank you.Insider tips for Walt disney World don't really
work anymore because Disney's changed so muchof their policies that the experience is wildly
different. And last time we went, like a year and a half ago,
we were just kind of like,Okay, yeah, we don't have
to do that anytime soon. Sowe were both kind of disappointed. Well,

(13:22):
the Star Wars Galactic star cruiser's ahotel. You'll notice I said the
word was yeah, because they're shuttingit down in September. Gee. Who
couldn't have seen this coming? Andhere's the thing, It's a shame they
didn't make it look like a galacticstar cruiser. It looks kind of funky

(13:43):
until you get in, and onceyou get in, it is a full
blown you are on board a galacticstar cruiser, complete with stormtroopers and the
bridge, and I mean it isyou are living on board yeah with evil

(14:07):
Kylo Wren could come up at anymoment, and I would imagine it's almost
dangerous to be Kylo Wren with someof the little kids running around, what
getting screamed in your face, gettinggetting kneecaps and some little kid runs up
behind you and takes his tennis racketout and hits you behind the knees.
I was thinking all of their toylightsabers just getting hit all of a sudden.

(14:28):
I'm talking more. Would they knowthat lightsaber isn't real? They'll come
at him with a tennis racket anddrop him to his knees. Anyway,
they're shutting it down. The Imean, a two day immersive visit could
run you a twenty thousand dollars.The basic cost of this thing. I've

(14:50):
got the I've got the costs.Here, here we go. Two day
experience is a cabin or suite,immersive entertainment, food, beverage in and
out. Admission to Disney Hollywood Studiosincluded, which gets you into the Star
Wars land that they have there.A room can accommodate three adults one child,

(15:11):
priced at fifty nine ninety nine,not including taxes and fees. Cabin
with two guests comes in at fortyeight o nine. Three guests comes in
at fifty two. One suite theGrand Captain holds eight individuals, a kitchenette,
living room, multiple bathrooms and thereyou go. But they're shutting it
down. And what's interesting about Thisis they're trying to spin all this,

(15:33):
including their decision to not build acampus nearer the Disney facilities, as a
slap on Rhonda Santis. No,this is because Disney can't make money hand
over fists like they were. They'veupset enough people that it's hurting their bottom

(15:54):
line. This has nothing to dowith Rhonda Santis. This has everything to
do with the sustainable of Disney's pricingmodel. In the wake of woke programming
and woke staffing and woke policies,they're laying off thousands and thousands of people.
And I'll go so far as tosay the boost to the resume that

(16:15):
one used to get by stating thatthey worked for Disney just isn't there anymore.
It just doesn't carry the same panache. And so it's gonna be interesting
to see. I mean, I'llbe honest with you, it would have
been fun to go into that StarWars thing as one of the founding watchers
of the Star Wars universe back innineteen seventy seven. But there's no way

(16:40):
I'd pay that, not a chance. All right, let's come back with
the most obvious big story in thehistory of the radio program Preston Scott,
this is the way I use radioone hundred point seven WFLA. Our border

(17:07):
is a disaster. Crime infests ourcities, the federal government makes it harder
for families to make ends meet,and the president flounders. But decline is
a choice. Success is attainable,and freedom is worth fighting for. Writing
the Ship requires restoring sanity to oursociety, normalcy to our communities, and

(17:30):
integrity to our institutions. Truth mustbe our foundation, and common sense can
no longer be an uncommon virtue.In Florida, we prove that it can
be done. We chose facts overfear, education over indoctrination, law and

(17:51):
order over rioting and disorder. Weheld the line when freedom hung in the
balance. We showed that we canand must vitalize America. We need the
courage to lead and the strength towin. I'm Rondi Santis and I'm running
for president to lead our great Americancomeback. There you go. Florida's governor

(18:15):
made the announcement official yesterday. Itwas a debacle and I made a prediction.
Grant was Grant was texting me andwhat did I write? Something to
the effect of, uh, thedesantist team will attempt to spind the debacle
into a oh ma'am, look atall the support. It crashed Twitter's servers

(18:40):
because it was so and what happened, Um the Christina Pashaws and Tarin Finski's
of the World and Elon Musk AndyAlon Musk have that that's been there take
on Twitter for the last you know, twelve hours Arch. That's their story
and they're sticking to it, andyou know what, there could be some
truth to it. I have nodoubt that Twitter was They had no idea

(19:03):
how big it was going to be. But there was a part of me
that's like, how could you Surelythey could have stress tested the Twitter servers
before, but I don't know.I don't know how you make that up.
I mean, how do you makeup a feed to test it?
So here's half question million people.Yeah, mister social media more than that?
He it was like, okay,more than okay, mister social media

(19:26):
and producer of the Morning Show withPreston Scott. More than that not what
I meant, but okay, youare the director of social media for the
radio program. So was the announcementmuch more eagerly anticipated and watched then what

(19:53):
you and everyone else expected. Ithink, So what does that tell you?
Now? Does it tell you anything? I haven't decided yet. I
haven't quite been able to put myyou know, put my thumb on it,

(20:15):
whatever the phrase is, put myfinger on quite what the pulse is,
if it was a overwhelming support forDeSantis, or if there was an
excitement regarding an announcement being done onTwitter rather than a conventional media hit,
you know, haven't decided. FormerPresident Donald Trump hosted the single most bizarre

(20:47):
response I've ever seen on true socialrob My red button is bigger, better,
stronger, and is working. Truthyours does not per my conversation with
Kim Jong Un of North Korea soonto become my friend, w t H.

(21:15):
Quadruple exclamation points, question marks,what what that's hilarious? My man
the Donald. Forty minutes after thehour, Here we go and Welcome to

(21:38):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Twenty two minutes after the hour of the
Morning Show, Steve Stewart, justa little bit, Doctor David Hart's next
hour, Doctor Ed Moore in thethird hour, a little more history.
This is gonna be a hybrid show. Final half hour The third hour is

(21:59):
going to resemble the final half hourof the Friday show. We're gonna have
some headlines from the b and alaugh or two good news story. We
are off tomorrow and Monday. BackTuesday with Matt Staver. Matt has Liberty
Council is starting their own online schoolopen to anybody, and it is the

(22:25):
curriculum Wow Parents looking for options.Matt's going to talk about the school coming
up. I believe it's gonna opennext year, but we'll get to all
of that next week on Tuesday Show. Jerome Hudson back with us next week

(22:45):
as well. Our fifth Wednesday Qand A with the Talent team is Wednesday,
so we have a busy week alreadyset up, and of course we
will have no shortage of things totalk about with regard to the race.

(23:06):
You know, I I listened toMike Huckabee, and Huckabee said, you
know, the governor's got a significantproblem. Though Let's remember Mike Huckabee's daughter,
governor now of Arkansas, worked forDonald Trump. So I have no
doubt that Huckabee is very close toDonald Trump. But he said he broke
a promise. He's got a credibilityproblem. Ronda Santas said he was wanted

(23:30):
to be the governor of Florida forfour more years, and he broke that
promise. He wants another four yearjob, so he owes us an explanation.
Do you not like your job anymore? Well, come on, Mike,
you're better than that, and you'resmarter than that. In my opinion,
all the sand has has to sayis, we can't afford to lose

(23:52):
the White House. And I'm goingto let Republicans decide whether they prefer Donald
Trump or me or someone else,but we can't lose. And he is
of the opinion that Donald Trump istoo toxic to win a general election.
That may or may not be true. I do not know, but it

(24:12):
is certainly not an analysis that he'salone in thinking, not at all.
So DeSantis is rolling the dice.He believes he needs to do it now.
He's got a string of achievements,he's proven his executive medal. Now's
the time I wish he'd awaited.But I knew he wasn't going to.

(24:37):
I knew money was lining up.I had some insight information a couple months
ago. I knew this was coming. I just wasn't at liberty to say
anything, but anyway is what itis and will certainly benefit from it.
We'll have lots to talk about,lots of things for you to talk about,
lots of things for you to thinkabout. Apparently, retail workers fast

(25:04):
food workers on TikTok claim they collectrewards points from customers leftover receipts. There
are I guess apps out there,and there's a hashtag called Fetch Rewards.
It has more than five hundred andone million views, half a billion views,

(25:30):
and it's a platform. There's aplatform called Fetch and it's your rewards
app that let's users rack up pointsin exchange for gift cards. And so
retail workers are going there and they'retaking our receipts, and I say ours,
because I'm notorious for leaving for saying, yeah, I don't want to

(25:51):
receipt. Oh that's going to change. So yeah, So that's just an
FYI. That's one of those thingsI just wanted you to be aware of.
And then a listener sent this myway. New York City will begin
tracking the carbon footprint of household foodconsumption and putting caps on how much red

(26:15):
meat can be served in public institutionsas part of a sweeping initiative to achieve
a thirty three percent reduction in carbonemissions from food by twenty thirty. Remember
what we've always said, global warming, COVID, energy, green, It's

(26:38):
all about one word control, controllingnow what you eat and how much of
it? The Morning Showwood Preston Scottlast segment of the radio program is just

(27:12):
another illustration of why you listen tothe entirety of the show. Think about
it. Most morning drive programs inthe news talk world revolve around ten minute
increments and a repetition of the samething every ten minutes. To that never

(27:36):
believed in it, never did it, never will. I've had consultants come
in and tell me, you know, you really ought to be no,
no, no, no no.I believe we can create a program that
people will listen to. And oh, by the way, we're a little
more forward thinking in a world ofpodcasting. Who's going to listen to a
podcast that repeats the same things everyten minutes. It's not gonna happen.

(28:02):
You'd have missed on what New YorkCity is doing. And those types of
stories are harbingers for what is comingnationally. The effort to try to control
what you eat. They're trying tocontrol our lightbulbs, our gas appliances,
They're trying to control our gas grills. They're trying to control what kind of

(28:23):
fuel we use. They're trying tocontrol the lightbulbs that we have. They're
trying to control how much water weconsume. They're trying to control everything,
now our food, not just thatthe receipts. Who knew, who knew
there was a way to capitalize.Now at least they're not trying to They're

(28:44):
not stealing and are able to stealyour debit card number because that's wiped out,
but they still try to do thatanyway. But anyway, I've got
to get to this. This istoo good. I think I mentioned it
yesterday on the program that there wasthis incredible brief Twitter dialogue that unfolded,

(29:07):
and it started because of US SenatorTed Cruz responding to the NACP NCP calling
on Blacks two to leave Florida andnever visit, which of course is just
the typical race baiting nonsense that theNACP now throws out a once legendary,

(29:30):
honored organization. And I mean thatsincerely now reduced to the same rubbish of
race baiting that's been going on fora couple of decades now anyway, Cruz
responds to it all this is bizarreand utterly dishonest. In the nineteen fifties

(29:51):
and sixties, the nuble ACP didextraordinary good, extraordinary good helping lead the
civil rights movement. Today, listento these words. Have you heard them
before? Doctor King would be ashamedof how profoundly they lost their way.
Then a user on Twitter pipes upand says that Cruise would have been the

(30:14):
first in line to filibuster against theVoting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
He replies, nonsense, That shamefulfilibuster was led by Democrats, your
party, My party. The Republicansproudly voted for the Civil Rights Act at
a much higher percentage than the racistDems. Then comes AOC She joins in

(30:38):
saying why don't you go ahead andtell people what happened to the parties after
that? Ted, he said,fine, and so here goes Cruise.
He tweets out, sure, firstthe dem Party founded by the KKK,
Then the dem Party wrote Jim CrowLaws, then the dem Party filibustered the
Civil Rights Act. Today, theDEM Party filibusters school choice, trapping millions

(31:03):
of black kids into failing schools.Today, the DEM Party pushes abolishing the
police, which results in many moreblack lives murdered. Today, every damn
senator voted against my bill to stopDC from throwing forty percent of black kids
out of schools because of the vac'smandate. And he goes on from there.
So there five minutes after the hourof the Morning Show with Preston Scott,

(31:42):
Good morning, that's Grant Allen overthere in Studio one AM. Here
in Studios one B, it isshow forty nine to thirty seven, And
so it begins second hour of theprogram with Steve Stewart. He, of
course, is the executive editor ofTallask Reports website Tallask Reports dot com.
Um and blowsers. You thought tobe a lazy Thursday. O, No,

(32:04):
I knew better than that. Ohman, you're just squealing. Turn
it down. Deaf people sometimes usethose headphones and so yeah, that that
that can happen anyway. Um,do you want to get a disclaimer out
of the way first? Well,yeah, and we can talk. Yeah.
I mean, there's a story thatwe have up that I think requires
a disclaimer, which I have onthe story. Yeah, listen, you

(32:27):
have to make decisions when you writeabout things. You know, as TASS
reports, we were very focused oncity hall corruption ten years ago. We've
expanded for a number of reasons becausewe're sort of good at what we do
and the community needs it. Andthe second thing is that, you know,
the the landscape of the media empireshas drastically changed significantly, and so
anyway we've grown. We're you know, we print a newspaper twice a week,

(32:51):
so we get a lot of phonecalls about different things. Things I
have to pass on twice a month, twice a month. Um, things
we have to pass on because wecan't gain documentation, things like that.
But you know, we other things, So we've expanded. We cover in
schools. Now we're covering you know, we write about coaches because of its
started at childs where I actually Ihave kids to go to school. I'm

(33:13):
familiar. I know Joe Burgess andyou know, but we've had there's been
issues there with a coach. Well, the reality is is the old however,
many degrees of separation is even lessin a town this size. You
just intersect with everything at some point, right. And so one of the
things that I've I've sort of whenyou do these stories, that you can

(33:35):
be you know, when you're biased, can be a questioned. Our objectivity
would be a better word. You'vegot to be really sure you've got the
story right. You've got to befact based, right, And so this
story that we've done involves a volleyballcoach. And as you know, you
know I have kids in volleyball.I'm very evolved volleyball community, and it's
probably one reason why I know aboutthe story. Right. Sure, but

(33:55):
you have to make this decision.What are you gonna do? And you
know, the story that we haveis very fact based. It's about you
know, there's a couple of this. This is a really rich story in
another in a number of veins.First, it's about a coach that's been
sanctioned by the Florida Region of USAVolleyball, which is the sanctioning body of

(34:16):
volleyball outside of high school. Clubvollea is a huge growing you know,
it's like all club sports, andon whether it's male or female, it's
they're they're huge, right. So, about a year and a half ago,
this coach was sanctioned after a complaintabout related to the treatment of players.

(34:37):
And it takes a lot to getsanctioned. I mean, as you
can imagine, a parent has tobe so aggrieved that he's going to file
or a person who's going to filea formal complaint, and you've got to
have corroborating evidence. The US ofthe Florida Region of USA V has a
process set up to do this.UM and so they went through this and

(34:58):
issued a um um um. Theythey had findings and there was a probation
letter sent out. It was intwenty twenty one. Okay, um that
resulted in her losing her her contractnot being renewed at the local UM Club
volleyball facility here. That was LaToyaWashington was in charge of that. I've
talked to her. She said,I saw the you know, I saw

(35:21):
the findings. I felt like itwas I had to not renew the contract.
Okay. There was a story pursuedby a local media outlet and it
never showed up. Okay, andthere and and there was rumors about this,
uh finding and you know, Iheard about it. UM didn't do
anything. So this year we startshe moved on to another volleyball club that

(35:45):
was started by Joey Becker. Um, and we start a long time respected
volleyball coach at Leon High School.Definitely I know Joy and so Um they're
starting to hear rumors about issues again. And so I had parents at calm
and said, look, you knowthis is these are accusations. And then
I got an email that was sentout by Joy Becker and that sort of

(36:07):
put bookends on this. We havea factual email. And then Steve Bishop,
who is the director of the FloridaRegion of USA Volleyball, confirmed to
me that she is being openly investigatedfor complaints at this new volleyball club that
she started. Quickly before we takea break, that email that you said

(36:28):
was sent out by Joy. Wasthat sent to you or was it sent
to parents? And it went forwardand sent to parents and evidently it's all
over town. I got it,Okay, I didn't even get it from
one of the parents. I gotit from someone else got you. And
so that's what the story is basedon. And you know, again from
the objectivity of it, you cankill the messenger and say I shouldn't have
written the story, but you can'targue with the facts. I mean,

(36:52):
she was sanctioned by Fluorida Region ofUSA Volleyball and we can continue. We'll
pick up there with Steve Stewart oftaalask Reports. Next the Morning Show with
Trust and Scott find News Radio onehundred point SEVENFLA. Steve Stewart with us
This Morning is always on Thursday.Following issues, following stories that others don't

(37:12):
follow, Others don't report, othersdon't get the stories because tell Us Reports
is trusted with stories. Now,we talked about that last week. We
talked about how the news cycle worksand where trust comes from and how it's
earned and the website Tellasreports dot comand we're talking about local volleyball. Well
yeah, and I think the thingthat we wanted to continue talking about is

(37:35):
the lack of other local media coverageof you know, factually bates things that
are coming out. So let mejust reset real quickly. Part of the
issue is we have a story that'sindisputable, there's just not a story about
that story. And that's the otherpart of this. Well, right,

(37:57):
I mean, I think if yougo back and you look at what happen
in a year and a half ago, and that a local media outlet pursued
a story and that it didn't happen. Right, So some they obviously said
that a formal finding putting a coachon probation and her being let go from
the club was not a story.What would you say, though, to
the to to an argument that's look, that says, look, sorry,

(38:20):
Steve, I appreciate that you know, kids that you know, including your
own, plays volleyball, but it'snot really that big a deal to anybody
else, right, Well, Ithink if you if you start looking at
the issue of bullying and you goto google that on you know, on
the internet, and look at howhow much of a problem this is you
watch, you would at least say, wait a minute, she's the coach.
She'd been the coach for ten yearsat a at a high school,

(38:40):
so we've see this as a problem. And look if you look at this
and say, well, look,the the Florida region of the USA Volleyball,
you know, doesn't have any credibility, well it does. So I
mean you have to address it.And look, you can even do the
story and the coach can say,well, look it was I was railroaded.
You know, there was parents thatwere just off the you know,

(39:00):
upset that their kid was are gettingplaying time? All right, Well it
happens a second time in a differentclub, and you actually have the coach
that is saying an email, youknow, we need to retract these complaints.
I promise not to leave this personalone with your kids. I mean,
it isn't don't you think that?And that's the email you're referring to.
That's the bookend. Oh it isso, Look, it's not so

(39:22):
the fact, So the fact thatI reported it, I can understand that
people were upset, but they shouldn'tbe up I'm the messenger. You want
to be upset about me reporting it. That's part of it. But the
other part of it is, waita minute, what's going on here?
Why? What is why is thishappening? And then so then it you
know, obviously with club volleyball,you have students at Leon that are playing

(39:43):
club volleyball, So there is atransition, there is a connection. And
so when we talked about when weasked Leon County schools if they knew about
the sanction by USA Volleyball, theysaid they found about they found out about
it after the fact. And whenI asked did they take any action?
They said no. So I thinkthat's another story because it was club related,

(40:04):
not school related, right, Butyou would think that you would say,
well, I'm just guessing, yeah, exactly, I guess that would
be there. That would be theirargument. But if I'm the athletic director
and my job is not just toadvocate for my coaches but to protect my
students, I would be somewhat interestedto say you took no action. So
yeah, we talked to USA Volleyball, got the background and the complaint,

(40:24):
and we were satisfied that, youknow, it won't effect. They just
said they took no action. Soit's almost like they completely ignored it.
And so now the second one,you have a coach that is currently under
investigation. Now, the dirty littlesecret here about this is that this is
a very intimate relationship between a coachand high school kids, and it's a

(40:49):
it's an authoritarian relationship. I mean, the coach that got the power needs
to be right. And you know, like in one of the critiques,
the comments was, well you knowyou're not these these these comments or allegations
are anonymous. Well that's the wholepoint. What happens is people don't want
to come out because they're going toget bullied. That's the vicious circle.
If you come out and complain,you get benched and bullied. But the

(41:13):
numbers are growing in this issue.Well, one of the questions is you
don't give examples. Well, firstof all, we address factual things in
this article. There are plenty ofexamples, and you've got to have numbers
because I'm not going to reveal namesof high school students so that they can
be bullied by. I mean,that's the whole vicious circle that we're following
here. So you've got to tryto figure out a way to break it.

(41:35):
And look, this is just notan issue at le We've got an
issue going on at Child's right nowwith the coaches on administratively for football in
football, So this is something thatneeds the light needs to be shown on
it. And I don't understand again, why hasn't local media picked up on
this story. This is factually based. Steve Start with us. More to
come on the Morning Show with PrestonScott, Final Save Me with Steve Stewart

(42:01):
of a Last Reports Again. Subscribeto get that paper and you'll get fact
based reporting. Man, when yousay, hey, don't shoot the messenger.
You're speaking my language. Because thathave That's what I deal with every
single day. I have to breakbad news to people and it's not my
fault. Northeast Gateway, Northeast Park. I mean, what in the world

(42:27):
have we got now? Where arewe a right to this park that you
know has been fifteen years in theworking? Is you run into another stag
the last blueprint meeting, Commissioner BrianWelsh made an emotional, very emotional,
overly emotional appeal the project that wentfrom twelve million eighteen million. They delayed
it. The scope. I hadsome questions about the scope, mostly focused

(42:49):
on baseball. But now Leon CountyCommissioner Christian Comband, who has recently elected
from District two, has issued andwe have a story up on this,
has issued a letter which is alittle bit rare, but you know,
again sort of someone who's been inoffice for two years, a younger person
and probably doesn't you know, it'sa new approach, not sort of kept

(43:09):
under the thumb by the old guardand was very the letters very outspoken about
first of all Welch's advocacy for thepark, who argued that the Northeast deserved
it. Christian Coban said, Look, I think there should be a park,
but I don't think that we shouldstart talking about who deserves what because
there are a lot of different districtsthat have different sets of concerns. There

(43:34):
are some districts that need sidewalks sokids can walk to school, and yes,
so Northeast needs a park, butit's not you know, those are
different level of priorities. Wants andneeds are different, right, And so
he really did criticize Welt for that, for the way he advocated for the
part, and he was not theonly one. Commissional Proctor was a little
bit rolled up about that also.Sure, now we do have a response

(43:58):
from commission in the article, andyou know, again he's advocating for his
district in the Northeast and it's abudgeted park. Now, the thing is
is what Commissioner Command is saying iswhat a number of people have said.
And this when you start reading thetea leaves, this is sort of this
where this is heading is it.Look, it was a twelve million dollars
park and then it become an eighteenmillion dollar part and you start looking around

(44:19):
the district of other needs, youknow, and it's look, it looks
like they you know, the commissionerwill support a twelve million our part,
but we've ruin that interested in spendingmore money than that on a Northeast park.
So once again, the Northeast parkis sort of in the crosshairs and
it's gonna take I think this isgoing to take Commissioner Welch all its political
skill that he has to sort of, you know, go through the wickets

(44:40):
of getting not only the scope correct, but understanding you know, what he's
dealing with, because look, thecity doesn't have an advocate for the northeast.
And when you advocate for the wealthiestpart of the town who's paying most
of the taxes, you do haveto be careful how you do that.
You know, we need a gym, right, we don't have a and

(45:01):
for people to have to drive acrosstown to go to volleyball or basketball when
they sign up for city stuff isa drag for a lot of families.
But you say that, and it'slike then you get these other parts of
the community say, well, wedon't even have sidewalks or lights. It
well, another parts of the communitysay, well, we don't have twenty
soccer fields or we don't have allthe tennis courts or I mean, you

(45:22):
have to be very careful of howyou advocate for it. And I think
that is the issue that we're runninginto. So the meeting is June fifteenth
to sort of resolve this, andit's going to be interesting to be resolved
without the city input. Though wellno, because it's a blueprint. It's
it's being funded by blueprint, whichinvolves all twelve commissioners. But the thing

(45:44):
is is it's sort of getting istaken friendly fire from both city and county,
which which if I was commissioner ofWelch, I would sort of step
back and say, wait, waita minute, this isn't one road commissioner
coming after me. We got wegot a problem here. Yeah, you've
you've got to build some consensus atthis point exactly. And so to get
it done, So, like Isaid, they'll have a meeting in June

(46:05):
fifteenth and we'll see what happens.All right. Lastly, is there any
without going into what's happening with CityWalkand the homeless shelter broadly speaking, is
there any movement on homeless policy inthis community? Listen, there was a
workshop on the twenty third. I'vegot to go through and look at the
meeting in detail, but there wereWe've did a story about the number of
recommendations that were proposed to the LeonCounty Commission. Panhandling at street intersections is

(46:30):
being is trying to be addressed.One thing that I want to share with
your your listeners that you they're probablynot going to hear you where anywhere else.
There's a group that does a personin time count for the number of
homeless people. Okay, it coversan eight an eight county area including Leon.
Leon is responsible for ninety five percentof the homeless. It increased twenty
two percent based on the last pitcount. It's done every January. They actually

(46:52):
go out and count homeless people.The count came back with eight hundred people
as being homeless over an eight countyrange, which nine that is in Leon,
which means about seven hundred and thirty. Right, So you've got three
hundred thousand people in Leon County andyou got seven hundred and thirty then homeless.
You've got two local governments with budgetsof approaching a billion dollars. You

(47:16):
know, I think that it's shouldbe a problem we should be able to
solve, don't. Well, moneydoesn't solve these issues exactly. That's the
point there. It's policy and ordinanceit is. And so I think that
that the County Commission understands that nowbased on the recommendations. But we'll have
to see what happens. And Imean there's some funding and there's some ordinances
like you've talked about, we'll seewhat the impact is. Can't wait till

(47:37):
next Thursday. Thank you, Preston, Thanks Buddy. All right. Steve
Stewart with Talaste Reports again. SubscribeTalasku Reports dot com. This is the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Isaid last hour, most obvious big story

(48:08):
in the press box in the historyof the show for a thousand alex Our
border is a disaster. Crime infestsour cities, the federal government makes it
harder for families to make ends meet, and the President flounders. But decline
is a choice. Success is attainable, and freedom is worth fighting for.

(48:30):
Writing the Ship requires restoring sanity toour society, normalcy to our communities,
and integrity to our institutions. Truthmust be our foundation, and common sense
can no longer be an uncommon virtuein Florida, we prove that it can

(48:52):
be done. We chose facts overfear, education over indoctrination, law and
order over rioting in disorder. Weheld the line when freedom hug in the
balance. We showed that we canand must revitalize America. We need the
courage to lead and the strength towin. I'm Rond Santis and I'm running

(49:15):
for president to lead our great Americancomeback. Wamo, there you go to
Santis for president? All right,so how do you say his name?
Well, and he always has saidit. I would defer to to how
he says it, but I've seenin different videos he said it differently,

(49:35):
So I'm just I've never heard himsay it differently than Rond Santis. Oh
yeah, I definitely someone posted likeback to back, side by sides of
him saying it differently. So Idon't know. I'm going with De Santis
because I think that's the original Italianpronunciation. But anyway, okay, now

(49:57):
then you gotta add a little flavorto it there now Santis? Yeah,
um, yeah, you know,I think he's fine. When someone says
Ron de Santis, yeah, ohsure, but he's like I don't care
how you say it. Just votefor me, pretty much. That's where
he's at right now. So umas as I predicted, the the the

(50:21):
the crash has been spun into well, the popularity. We just we had
no idea it would be so popular. And I tend to agree. I
don't think it's I don't think it'san egregious spin um. I think it's
probably the best way to phrase whathappened, and that is that there was
more interest in Ron de Santis's announcementthan they anticipated. I don't know that

(50:42):
you can you can have a serverbig enough for whatever. I mean,
what's going to happen when Tucker Carlsongoes on the air for the first time,
you know? So I guess inthat regard, this is a good
roll out to see. Now.For his part, Old Trump had one
of the most you've got to bekidding me reactions I've ever read. This

(51:06):
is what he posted in reaction toRon de Santis's announcement. Rob My red
button is bigger, better, stronger, and his working truth yours does not.
So I guess he's saying He's redbutton is truth. Per my conversation
with Kim Jong n of North Koreais soon to become my friend. Is

(51:31):
he calling him Rob instead of Ronto just try to goa to him or
something? I mean, people areout there. Some of the comments that
followed that, Matthew Brodsky, apolitical strategist senior fellow at the Gold Institute
for International Strategy, said, bonkersis what he tweeted out. De Santis
has been talking about detailed and substandardpolicy issues for the last hour. This

(51:53):
is what you get from Trump.If people want idiocracy and entertainment, Trump
might be the better option. Ifyou want substance on the right. The
Santas is it m David riobi umuor real, I don't know how to
say his last name, political commentatorfellow at the Claremont Institute. Nobody thinks

(52:15):
this is sane. They're just afraidto admit it. Um you know,
get ready, this is just thebeginning. This is just the beginning.
Here's what I expect. I expectDonald Trump to get unbelievably personal, and
I expect ron To Santas to not. That's the That's the big difference.

(52:36):
On a lot of policy, they'revery similar. The difference is to Santa
has had a cooperative legislature here inFlorida. Trump never had that in Washington.
Additionally, Trump has Trump to dealwith now. I mean, let's
be candid. Trump is his ownworst enemy. That is not the case

(53:00):
with DeSantis. So we'll have tosee where this goes. The Morning Show
with Preston Scott's got your feeling alittle bit better? What do you say?
What do you say? You know, we are so very good at
treating symptoms, challenges though dealing withroot causes, and so we've we've done

(53:25):
this segment based on that with doctorDavid Hearts for many many years. This
is optimum health naturally. Good morning, doctor Hearts, How are you?
Good morning? Preston, tell mea little bit about I mean, hista
means we hear about Antihista means whathelped me out here, help a brother

(53:46):
out. Well, what we're gonnatalk about this morning is something called stement
of tolerance or mass cell activation syndrome. That kind of sounds really complicated,
but I think why this is soimportant right now is because we're seeing this
increase post COVID. It seems tobe part of the gift that keeps on

(54:08):
giving is that there's something called masscells, which are part of the white
blood cells that actually carry histamine.This the substance that we don't like when
it's released too much on our bodiesbecause it causes migraine, headaches, it
causes chronic nasal congestion, and drippynose, and like many times it's like

(54:32):
when you eat. A lot ofpeople eat and right as they're eating,
they start to get kind of arunny nose or start to cough because of
nasal drainage, fatigue and hives anddigestive issues, even you know, nausea,
but some of the other things thatcan causes like high blood pressure or
regular heartbeats. And this is allpart of like long COVID syndrome also where

(54:55):
people can't seem to get over thisthing. So that's why I'm trying to
kind of talk about this now becausepeople are struggling with this and it's really
caused by something called DAO or diamineoxidase. It's it's something that's an enzyme
that's released to break down system andas it increases in your body, and

(55:16):
when there's a shortage of that,then histamin increases. Now, of course
that's when we take antihistamins bores totry to offsets of this system. And
also it's also caused by too muchmass cell releasing of this system in and
we don't know why that's doing that, but it sure seems to be related

(55:37):
to some of the long COVID syndromesymptoms that are occurring after covid and after
maybe the vaccinations also. So thisis something a lot of people are struggling
with, and there's some things youcan do to help it. First of
all, it can be aggivated bya VACTI overgro syndrome like gut problems and

(55:59):
so forth. So they need tobe evaluated by a functional medicine practor ship
if you have gasroal testa problems alongwith it. Also weak got syndrome,
those same things we talked about foryears. They can't aggravate this, okay.
Then also hystamine rich foods, whichthere's just a bunch of those.
I would suggest you just go aheadand google those just system and rich foods

(56:20):
and you get a whole list ofthose. But one of one of the
cover when we talk about this morningis some of the things we can do
ourselves some cursed then envitamin C seemsto be very helpful with this. Also,
be sure you take supplements that besure that gives you enough copper.
Copper seems seems to be a realaggravating factor when it's slow, and you

(56:45):
can take those different things, andalso watch some of the foods that want
to give you some of the SEMs. Citrus, if you notice if you
eat citrus and you get a reactionfrom that. Gluten certainly is something that
seems to be very aggravating with this, as it is with many things.
Some day substitutes, even dairy sometimescan do this, and so you have

(57:07):
to go through and figure out individuallywhich foods aggravated. But there are a
large number that do it. Also. I'm not much for prescriptions, you
know that, but in this case, one of the ways you can help
diagnose it is to take certain antihistaminsand see if they help to help with
some of the symptoms of fatigue.I mean exercise fatigue where you exercise and

(57:30):
all of a sudden you get totallydis exhausted. Some of the ones that
to work well, or clarinets,zerotec and allegra. You can try some
of those, and they're what theycall type one h one type of anhistamus.
If they do help, then youknow you may have the syndrome.
I know it's all complicated, butthis is really a big problems pross of

(57:52):
people, a lot of people.Doctor Hart says, always we gotta go,
but thanks so much for the time. Okay, thank you, sir,
Doctor David Harts with us this morningOptimal Mouth naturally on The Morning Show
with Preston Scott, The Morning Showwith Preston Scott. One hour ago,
on this radio program, I showedmy lack of discipline and did not properly

(58:17):
get through a segment rushed to thetop of the hour, and there's there's
there's one part of this show thetop of the hour that I must be
disciplined because we have what are calledheartbreaks. We have live satellite news coming.
We can't do anything. We gotwe gotta we gotta hit it.
So I am going to do astory a second time and do it properly

(58:40):
because it's too important. There's toomuch good fodder for you to use against
your illiberal Democrat buddies. It isa twitter back and forth started by Ted
Cruise in response to the NAACP.We'll get to the gist of it,

(59:00):
he said, Doctor King would beashamed of how profoundly THEACP has lost its
way. A user response to Cruiz'scomments saying, you would have been the
first in line of filibuster against theVoting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
Cruise response, nonsense, That shamefulfilibuster was led by Democrats. Your

(59:22):
party, My party, The Republicansprobably voted for the Civil Rights Act in
much higher percentages than the racist Dems. Then comes Alexandria Cassia Cortez to the
battle, and you know what theysay about doing a battle of wits with
an unarmed never mind, she pens, why don't you go ahead and tell

(59:44):
people what happened to the parties?After that, Ted Cruise took her up
on the offer. Sure, Firstthe damn Party founded the KKK, Then
the DEM Party wrote Jim Laws.Then the DEM Party filibuster the Civil Rights
Act. Today the DEM Party filibustersschool choice, trapping millions of black kids

(01:00:07):
and failing schools. Today the DEMParty pushes abolishing the police, which results
in many more black lives murdered.Today, every damn senator voted against my
bill to stop DC from throwing fortypercent of black kids out of schools because
of the vaccine mandate. He continued, the Republican Party was founded to oppose

(01:00:28):
slavery. Our first Republican president wasAbraham Lincoln, who won the Civil War
and ended slavery. It was Republicanswho voted for the Civil Rights Act in
a much higher percentage than racist Dems. Today, we produced the lowest African
American unemployment ever under the Trump economicboom. Today. We produced the lowest
African American poverty levels ever under theTrump economic boom. Today. In twenty

(01:00:53):
seventeen, I passed the largest expansionof federal school choice ever, making five
twenty nine plans cover K twelve,over the objection of every single Senate Democrat.
Also, he continues to tweet.Just two years ago, the dem
governor of Virginia had put the photoof a man dressed as a KKK clansman

(01:01:15):
on his personal yearbook page, andtoday, the sitting Damn President, Joe
Biden, gave in twenty eleven aflowery eulogy for an exalted cyclops of the
KKK. Add to that the demParty aggressively supports open borders, which has
led to the deaths and brutal assaultsof thousands of Hispanics, and AOC somehow

(01:01:37):
can't seem to find her white pantsuitto cry over their suffering. At that
point, Elon Musk chimes in andhe says, this is the kind of
interaction that makes this platform so uniqueand entertaining. So all the while Ted
Cruz is going off, Elon Muskis just sitting there reading it all.

(01:02:00):
I wanted to share that at theexpense of anything else that I was gonna
do in this segment, because itis so important that we continue to push
back against the lies and the misrepresentationof what the Democrat Party stands for.

(01:02:21):
It is simply repackaging what it didin the days of the Clan. That's
all that's happening. And just thinkof the irony of how Black Americans vote
lockstep with the dem Party. Butit's changing, thankfully. Some thing else

(01:03:01):
to spend some time on this morningon the Morning Show with Preston Scott,
with my great Red Kazoo Grant Allenover there in Studio one. Ay,
I'm here in Studio one B andI am joined live and in person,
and no one happier than he tobe both of those things. Doctor head
More joints us this morning on theMorning Show with Preston Scott. He's our

(01:03:23):
own version of David McCullough Green's lightup the voice, the voice that people
recognizing, go, I know thatvoice. I was walking out of the
Double Tree the other day and theguy out front, the head porter there,
hollered at me and made me stop. He goes, haven't heard you

(01:03:44):
on the radio lately? When don'tyou back on, Preston, I was
gonna here you go. And Idon't know how he recognized me from my
voice, but that kind of stuffhappens a lot. Yeah, of course
you have a very distinctive sound.I guess I do. I don't know.
Yeah. Like I said, DavidMcCulley narrated the movie Biscuit, and
people people at what Yeah, that'sDavid McCullough. He's been He was probably

(01:04:04):
as popular of a narrator as hewas inside the industry as he wasn't an
author on the rest of us.My phone should start ringing off, I
would think, So we need youto narrate. Yep, absolutely new career.
Yep, there you go. He'sour resident historian hence the title more
history here in the Morning Show.And we've been talking about scandals, which

(01:04:24):
is kind of appropriate in light ofthe fact that, you know, whether
we like or hate Donald Trump,the fact of the matter is what happened
to him, set aside the personality, but what happened to him was truly
a scandal. Yeah, and notmuch ado about it, which is what
floors me. Typically in these kindof circumstances, no matter who's in power,

(01:04:46):
you know, when when there's corruptionat any level, it should be
ferreted out and broadcast and people shouldgo no, no, no, we
don't do that. Unfortunately, that'snot what it occurs in this divis of
world we live in now. It'spolitical politicized right away, but you know,
it's literally criminal. Now what's happeningin these some of these attacks though,

(01:05:09):
d Yeah, well it is andit isn't. I mean the Durham
report that came out, he wasvery explicit and stating that not everything that
people do wrong is a crime,and that's why he wasn't advocating for indictments.
Is it a crime for collusion ofsorts, not criminal collusion, but
just any kind of collusion to occurbetween media sources, the FBI and a

(01:05:32):
political operation or a political candidate.You know, if they're on the phone
all the day, tipping each otheroff, telling each other, given false
stories, feeding false stories. Andhis report was replete with malintent, with
that intent by the Clinton campaign andothers. And so if it's short of
criminal, If it's short of criminal, there are still other accountability standards,

(01:05:56):
and I'm just going to pick onone. And this is on topic and
off topic at the same time.Adam Schiff, he should be kicked out
of Congress. Absolutely, yeah,oh sure, But it's the voters responsibility
in that. I mean, youdon't think he should be removed by his
peers, Uh, they'd all beremoved, or not all of them,
but a significant number. I'm okaywith that. I mean, if we
got down to a bad political actsboil boy, Hello, Hello, Hello,

(01:06:21):
Hello, I would be echoing downthe hallways of Congress. It's almost
a scarlet letter, you know,Nathaniel Hawthorne going way back, but it's
almost a scarlet letter that the publicneeds to place on these people. They
need to become pariah's when they misbehave. And yet, but that supports my
long standing contention we elect who weare. Yeah, well, yeah,

(01:06:44):
yeah, you know that's what federalistsfifty one. I think. I'm not
sure if it was Hamilton or Madisonwrote that one, but you know,
if men were angels, no governmentwould be necessary. You know, we
must have structure around us or we'llrun astray. But the bottom line here
is far from the only scandal inhistory. No, that's that's true.

(01:07:08):
And sadly though, and I'm goingto talk the next two segments on the
on a big one, but thatoccurred that most people are aware of,
but they don't really understand the detailsof it. Where we want things to
happen instantaneously. Now we're in thisyou know, pop tart society that we

(01:07:29):
live in. This stuff with Biden, and you know, I'm going to
talk about the Nixon scandals. Ittook twenty seven months from the first Watergate
break into him resigning. I meanit took time. Yeah, and in
between that he won an election wherehe won forty nine states, when people

(01:07:53):
were aware that there was something,you know, something rotten in Denmark.
Here, I think I'm going tocry and suck my thumb at the same
time because I the possibilities that you'rebringing me to are just not good.
All right, back with doctor EdMoore, More history on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. It's the MorningShow with Preston Scott's on news Radio one

It is eleven minutes after the ourDoctor Ed Moore joins us more history.
Nixon, Go, boy, youcan talk for days on this guy.

(01:08:36):
Here's a guy a cork. Yeah, he said that in Florida.
Actually, here's a guy that washeading into reelection with an overwhelming lead and
still got engaged first with the plumbersgroup that they've had to break in tried
to break into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's officeto try to get tidbits onto smear Elsberg.

(01:09:00):
That was the intent there, becausehe was coming out with the Pentagon
papers that made Nixon look bad andthey were worried about this election coming up.
Well, the election was nineteen seventytwo. Nixon won forty nine states,
George McGovern won Massachusetts and the districtof Columbia. That was it.
So he was so paranoid about,oh my goodness, what might happen here

(01:09:25):
that he put in operation this groupthat were to do bad things, and
they were relatively incompetent. One oftwo of them were Cuban Americans from South
Florida, one of whom was alocksmith. They broke into the water Great

(01:09:45):
Complex and the DNC headquarters in Mayand to put bugs in and bugs around.
And when they first tried it,they realized he had the wrong locksmith
lock picking tools, and they leftand they actually went in, got all
set up, it didn't work.They left, sent him back to Miami
to get the right tools. Thisis, you know, it's like a

(01:10:09):
three stages routine. They went backin and May they broke in, put
bugs in. Then they wanted moreinformation. They wanted pictures of documents and
all this. So they went backa month later and they broke into the
Watergate again and put tape keeping allthe doors from locking behind them. As
they went in. Security security guardssaw found that called the police. Police

(01:10:30):
came in and arrested all these guysthat were taking pictures. When they went
in, they realized some of thebugs were missing, so they had already
been discovered, but and didn't go, oh, hey, maybe we'd better
get out of here. Maybe wewere being rebugged or watched. Now they
didn't they So they all get arrested. Well, it turns out in their
bag of stuff was a phone number. The phone number was from what we

(01:10:53):
referred to as creep the committee tore elect the President. It was the
phone number of Creepy. That's you'regiving me this look. But this is
you know, this is the highestlevels of the sophisticated surveillance going on.
Yeah. Absolutely, and being directed, as it turned out later, being

(01:11:13):
directed basically out of the White House. You know, denials notwithstanding it was
being directed from the White House.Uh, these guys got all arrested,
and a couple of young cub reportersfor the Washington Post, one of them
was assigned to go and see thehearings on these guys. These five guys,

(01:11:34):
what did they break into the Democraticheadquarters for the bond hearings and stuff.
So he sat in there, andthat was Bob Woodward. Wow.
But he wasn't just a cub reporter. He was pretty new at that point
in time. He was an intelligenceofficer for the Navy. Yeah, so
I mean there's a little bit ofa background there. Oh, yeah,
very bright guy. And then theother guy, Carl what's his name and

(01:11:59):
losing truck Bernstein Bernstein. He goessay, oh, ye'all make some phone
calls. I mean, this ishow it started. You know, if
you watch the movie. The moviein that sense was pretty accurate about Watergate,
and it built and built, butit still took twenty seven months from
that first break in and the arrestto Nixon resigning. It was and in

(01:12:21):
between that was an election that wasthe landslide proportions. It was one of
the biggest landslides ever in the historyof the country. Why. I mean,
you ask, why do these peopledo these things? Who knows?
I mean, what went on inthe minds of Haldeman and Erlikman and Mitchell

(01:12:42):
and Davidchel and Dean. I mean, the list is long. Forty four
people were investigated and twenty two ofthem actually convicted out of that at the
highest levels in our country. Andyet and one of them became a popular
talk show host. Oh figure,you know you got a gun earn a
living more with doctor Edmore. Heydid I just say that on The Morning

(01:13:05):
Show with Preston Scott twenty one pastthe r I think Grant and I would
both come to the conclusion that timeflies when you're talking history, but time
really flies when you're talking more history. You see how I did that?

(01:13:27):
Well, you're so smooth, boy, am I a broadcast professional? Doctor
edmore with us. I'm surprised youdon't have on shade inter say smooth,
Yeah, smooth, and I willnever be mixed in the dictionary. Oh
there you go. My contention isand has been, we choose relatively poorly.

(01:13:49):
The structure of how we pick whoends up in the White House is
flawed, and it's getting more flawedas time goes by. The closest,
really the closest election in history intwo thousand based a large part of what
was going on in Florida, andnone of those problems got resolved in that

(01:14:11):
That's how two thousand ended up withSupreme Court of the United States punting,
and it is what it is becausethe calendar was moving and we got to
be done by this date and wecouldn't get into all of that stuff still
unresolved, So we could have potentiallyanother two thousand election anytime now. Because
we are so relatively evenly divided inour philosophies it's where we are. But

(01:14:33):
in nineteen seventy two, like Isaid, Nixon overwhelming. He got sixty
almost sixty one percent of the vote. Okay, sixty one percent of the
vote, and forty nine states hewon. Why why do people in positions
of power do foolish things? Itfloors me. I'll never did they just

(01:14:56):
not have any accurate polling because therewas no to do the stupid thing he
did. No, No, therewasn't none at all. But there was
there was a paranoia that occupied andlater John dene in the famous presentation he
made, but he talked about themeeting. He was general counsel in the
White House and he went to Nixonand told Nixon that there's a cancer growing

(01:15:17):
in the White House. It wasn'ta cancer, it was this mental paranoia
that was bleeding through his top levelof staff. People and the highest levels
were involved and got got corrupt,corrupted, but then got convicted. John
Mitchell, Attorney General, went tojail. Maurice Stands as Secretaria Commerce,

(01:15:39):
you know, went to jail,Chief of staff, General counsel. I
mean, right all the way downthe line, right, everybody did,
but Richard Nixon. Yeah, becauseRichard Nixon a month after he resigned,
gerald Ford pardoned him one almost tothe day, a month gerald Ford pardoned
him, and a lot of peoplewere highly critical. I think had probably
cost Ford the election in doing that, Ford had I think a sense of

(01:16:02):
history and wanted to do what hethought was best in the healing that needed
to be done at that point intime, and so he took that bold
action. He was the only oneat that point to get pardoned. There
were only two people involved in allof Watergate. Two people that got pardoned,
the president and the locksmith from CubanAmerican locksmith from Miami. He got

(01:16:27):
pardoned by Ronald Reagan and then laterit found out that he was a CIA
asset and had been involved in workingfor the CIA prior to the Watergate.
Breagan had connections with G. GordonLyddy and others. But we ever asked
him if the mistake with the picklocks intentional. He never said much.

(01:16:49):
And I think the fellow lived Ithink to be ninety eight or and he
lived a very long time. Movedback to Florida and lived in some small
town with his daughter in Florida.But those are the only two people out
of all these people to get apartner. It's kind of an interesting little
tidbit. But when I rediscovered that, I knew that way back. And
then when I rediscovered that, Ithought, that's really odd. Why did

(01:17:11):
he get a pardon? When Isaw that he was one that got the
pardon. It, Yeah, heworked for the CIA and part of the
deal. Back then, you know, they inadvertently discovered the fact that Richard
Nixon was taping himself. Nobody elsehad ever done that to that extent.
In the White House. They wereover three thousand hours of tape that got

(01:17:32):
turned over, some missing segments,the famous, famously famous gap that oh,
I must have leaned way over andshut it off, you know.
But John Dene in his testimony revealedthat. And how did John Dene know.
He didn't know he was being taped. He thought he might be being
taped because when he was making apresentation to Richard Nixon in the Oval office,

(01:17:54):
Nixon said, hey, went justsecond, walked over with him to
the corner of the room and veryquietly told him some things, and then
went back and sat down, andthey continued their conversation. And John Deane,
very being very astute said why didhe do that? It wasn't for
a photo op. Yeah, Andthen an aid called Butterfield was testifying and

(01:18:18):
got asked the question are their tapes? And his immediate response to Congress when
they asked him about was there ataping system in the White House? His
immediate response was, oh, Iwish you hadn't asked me that question,
and then proceeded to tell them,yeah, we have this comprehensive taping system.
Oh boy. But my main point, though, is there's corruption.

(01:18:42):
There's been corruption. I've been alivefor fourteen presents since I was a baby.
Only three of them really had relativelyscandal free administrations. The eleven of
the fourteen, Can I ask youa question? Yeah, could you say
Trump was scandal free? Now?Why? Well, because of just we're
all kinds of things going on.We talked about that the next time.

(01:19:04):
What's occurred probably since Bush forty threeto now, which kinds of levels of
disruption And it's not necessarily the guyhimself, the president himself, that's the
one that's corrupt, But then it'sthe people around him that are getting paid
off and things happening. Get thePentagon and government contracts, it's scandals.

(01:19:27):
That's where the leadership comes from.You have to say it that way.
Scandals, scandals, all right,So we'll talk about that next month.
Yeah, well, memory where nogovernment would be necessary. Always keep that
in mind, Doctor ed Moore withus. Thanks, but it's twenty eight
after the hour the Morning Show.Preston Scott. Critics writes in listening ears

(01:20:08):
want to know what scandals he's referringto with Trump. That was a complete
cop out answer, or will heactually follow up because if he's referring to
Trump and Fauci, that could bethe biggest scandal in American history. But
was it Trump or Fauci to blame? Uh? No, it's not a

(01:20:29):
cop out answer. It's called we'reout of time. So you know,
with all due respect Chris to thatidea, No, we we just we
ran out of time. But no, we will. We will talk about
that next next visit with doctor Moore. The thing is Trump was certainly victimized
by scandal that's around him, andit should cost Adam shift his job.

(01:20:54):
I don't think necessarily by the voters, because the voters will keep him in
office. It should cost him hisjob in Congress because he claimed that he
had evidence of fill in the blank, and he didn't. He doesn't.
There wasn't any and so that saidFauci. That's an interesting idea. I

(01:21:16):
think Trump was somewhat mistaken to rushinto the whole however many days to find
a vaccine thing. But I thinkTrump, in his defense, can't stand
being that person. In defense,he's not a medical doctor. He had

(01:21:38):
to rely on the people around him, and sadly, Fauci was that guy.
And I've said it dozens and dozensof times. Trump's biggest mistake wasn't
even the vaccine thing. His biggestmistake was letting Fauci be the almost the
sole voice in his ear. Iwas the mistake that Fauci became the be

(01:22:02):
all end all of this, andno one did their research on Anthony Fauci.
Anyway. That's a story for anotherday. Final half hour for the
week of the program. We areoff tomorrow. Back on Tuesday, after
the long weekend, I wanted togive a little shout out and for those
of you in the area looking forsomething different to do on Memorial Day besides

(01:22:24):
the obvious and remembering those who havedied in defense of our nation. That's
the point of Memorial Day. Thereis an open farm fun Day on Monday
at Redemptive Love Farm and Rescue.Now I learned about them when our kids

(01:22:50):
did something for their mom for Mother'sDay. They brought the Redemptive Love Farm
and Rescue two adorable piglets to ourhome. And if you know anything about
my sweet lovely wife, Cynthia,you know she loves pigs. And these

(01:23:12):
two came in a baby carriage andit was awesome. And in talking to
them, they they they've got overtwo hundred animals at their farm and they
raise these animals and some of themget birth and then they they sell some

(01:23:36):
of the animals that are raised.They have They have I think camels,
llamas. They've got chickens and ducksand cows and horses and pigs and you
name it. And they open upthe farm on Memorial Day. And so
if you're interested in that, it'sjust five bucks admission. They have some

(01:23:57):
other things. If you go totheir website you can learn more. They
have a family Fund pass that's available, and so if you're interested, just
look them up. It's Redemptive LoveFarm and Rescue, and then you'll see
about the Memorial Funday that's coming upthis Monday, and who knows, we
may we may pay a visit.I'm just saying I'm a sucker for that

(01:24:20):
stuff. Forty one minutes after thehour the Morning Show with Preston Scott on
News Radio one hundred point seven wFLA, before we share a dad joke,

(01:24:42):
gotta arm you for the weekend,and some headlines from the b since
it's the final show of the week. One of the share good news story.
This was shared by our lead researchassistant of the in the Morning Show
with Preston Scott, tay about aguy named Fred Taylor La Mesa, California.

(01:25:06):
Now, he said, you know, every able bodied man and lots
of women were involved in World WarTwo. I have no regrets about going
into service. I really enjoyed flying. Only regret is missing my graduation ceremony

(01:25:28):
as you normally would and your senioryear. He completed all the requirements to
get his music degree from Cornell Collegein Iowa, but was unable to attend
due to activation of the Air Corpsreserves in nineteen forty three. He'd completed

(01:25:49):
the requirements for his music degree atCornell College, but the attack on Pearl
Harbor changed everything and put his plansfor the actual graduation on hold. He
said, some friends and I joinedthe Army Air Corps Reserve because we wanted
to fly rather than be foot soldiers. In February nine, nineteen forty three

(01:26:15):
of my senior year, the AirCorps Reserves were activated and we had to
leave the college for basic training inJefferson Barracks in Missouri. So, of
course we missed our graduation ceremony andthat was a very incomplete feeling. His
dad drove ten miles to campus topick up his diploma. While he was
away. He said, I haveno regrets about going into the service.

(01:26:36):
My only regret is missing my graduationceremony as you normally would end your senior
year. Fred is now one hundredand one years old, and earlier this

(01:26:57):
year, his daughter, professor emeritusnow at the University of Miami, contacted
Cornell College to see if it waspossible for her father to walk across the
stage, said the president of CornellCollege. To find out that we had

(01:27:20):
a student who eighty years ago missedthat culminating moment in his life to actually
celebrate the completion of his study,there's sort of this feeling that something wasn't
finished. Here's somebody who served ourcountry during World War Two, somebody who
left college so that he could helpliterally save the world from the greatest threat.

(01:27:44):
What a wonderful way to honor himin front of our students. And
so, one hundred and one yearold and eighty years after actually getting his

(01:28:05):
degree, Fred Taylor walked at graduation. The president said it was heartwarming.
It was emotional. He's gracious,humble, articulate, warm, loving.
He's everything that one could ever hopea Cornelian would be. I think there

(01:28:30):
was love for him because of hisconnection to Cornell, because of his military
service, because of his endurance.Every time I mentioned his name, a
standing ovation. That's just man.Come on, tear duct overload. Forty
seven minutes, forty six minutes afterthe hour. Okay, to reiterate.

(01:29:09):
We are off tomorrow and Monday.Remember Monday, Memorial Day is the time
that you just make sure that sometimeover the weekend, when you're gathered together
with family and friends, maybe doingsome grilling and enjoying your day doing whatever
it is that you're doing, takesome time to remember and prayer those who
have lost loved once and those whohave honored this country by giving their last

(01:29:31):
full measure of service in defense ofit, men and women throughout the years.
That's what Memorial Day is about.It's about honoring those who have died
in service to this country in ourarmed services. So please do that back
Tuesday. Tuesday, Matt Staver we'lljoin us. We'll of course be talking

(01:29:54):
more about the rollout of the RonDe Santa's campaign, the reaction across the
board, left, right and inthe middle, and Matt Stable will join
us talk about a new academy thatLiberty Council is beginning, that an online
school for K twelve. That isI'm loving it. I've seen the outline
for the curriculum and so forth.I am I am loving it. But
