Episode Transcript

(00:07):
Friday Morning Friends, Morning Show.Impressed it, Scott, I'm pressed and
these grants our verse today comes fromFirst Corinthians ten thirty one. Whatever you
do, do it all to theglory of God. Kind of a cohesive
message with how we started the programwith a song from Jordan Smith. Great

(00:31):
you are man. I was lookinglast night at some old video clips of
him on the Voice and the blindauditions when all the chairs are turned away
and they have no idea what theperson looks like and they're just basing it
on their voice and what they hear. And it was what they call a

(00:53):
four chair turn. And that youngman won that season and he did not
fit the protocol that you would thinkexcept for one. What a voice,
What a gift from God? Andhe uses it to honor God. And
I love it. Good Morning Friends, Stick around, It's Friday. You

(01:15):
know what that means. Lots offun and waits here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Welcome to theMorning Show with Preston Scott. Quick reminder,

(01:36):
we'll remind you later in the programas well. Tomorrow is the flag
football game for Big Brothers Big Sistersof the Big Ben. They just want
guys to come out play a littleflag football from ten to noon at the
Fred George Park. Learn about bigbrothers. You're not making any commitment by
showing up and playing a little flagfootball. That's it, just showing up.

(01:57):
And if you can't but you're interested, if you just can't be there,
reach out. They've got one hundredkids, one hundred and ten boys
on the waiting list that are desperatelywanting a big brother. So just throwing
that out there. Taking a peekinside the American Patriots Almanac for Friday,

(02:20):
April the twelfth, Settlers sponsored JohnJacob Astor, sponsored by established the first
American outpost in the Pacific Northwest nearpresent day Astoria, Oregon. Eighteen eleven.
How about that eighteen sixty one,the Civil War begins at Fort Sumter.

(02:46):
I've been there. If you've neverbeen to Fort Sumter, I recommend
you go. First of all,Charleston, South Carolina is beautiful. It
is a one wonderful city. Idon't know anything about its political makeup.

(03:07):
By saying it's a wonderful city leadsme to think that perhaps Republicans run it,
but I don't don't know. It'sjust a It's a charming town that
leans into its heritage. It isso picturesque. Take the tour on a
horse drawn carriage. It's just it'sit's magnificent. But when you go to

(03:32):
Fort Sumter, you obviously are thinkingof the Civil War. It began there.
But then I want you to lookacross the bay to where Battery Wagner
is and that's where the Massachusetts fiftyfourth I believe it was the battle depicted
in the movie Glory takes place,and it's sacred ground. It is,

(04:04):
I believe, a federal park,but that would be I would love to
get on a boat and go overthere. If you're allowed to just walk
around. That's just. But youlook across and you see that and you're
like, wow, that's where thathappened. Nineteen thirty four strongest wind gusts

(04:24):
on record hits Mount Washington, NewHampshire. The strongest wind gust on record
hits Mount Washington, New Hampshire.We've talked about Mount Washington and what a
sketchy place that is for weather,and people are thinking New Hampshire. Take

(04:48):
a hike up there, no bigdeal, and it is a very big
deal, evidenced by two hundred andthirty one mile an hour wind gust nineteen
forty five. On this date,FDR died cerebral hemorrhage. Warm Springs,

(05:10):
Georgia, nineteen eighty one, firstman space shuttle flight begins as Columbia blasts
off from Cape Canaveral. Space shuttleswere cool. That whole thing, that
whole time period of American space innovationwas just epically cool. It's tragic that

(05:35):
people lost their lives. It's tragicthat NASA cut some corners, it would
seem, but nonetheless, go toKennedy Space Center and see the tour that
includes Atlantis. You will not regretthat. And in two thousand and nine,

(05:56):
US Navy rescues Captain Richard Phillips theSomali pirates seize the cargo ship off
the coast of Somalia. That's amovie, that's that's a story. And
uh, it just speaks to theskill level of seals that were on a
moving ship up and down and justsniped the bad guys after getting the leader

(06:23):
of the group off the boat,kind of making a fool of him,
which is kind of good. Allright, back with more. Yeah,
I was just having it This isjust something I'm throwing out for those of
you that are based in and aroundLeon County and are curious to Maybe maybe

(06:46):
I'm the only one thinking about this. I don't know, but just just
had a friend and listener of theprogram share you know, where where is
the thirty something year old with someeducational child that is a Republican Conservative that
wants to take a run at superintendentof Education? And I ask, and

(07:15):
I wish him nothing but the bestof success in the new job as chairman
of the Florida GOP. I'm tryingto understand how Evan got the job.
I mean, can anybody name asignificant set of accomplishments for the Republican Party
in this in Leon County? Idon't think I would point to Corey Simon's

(07:41):
election because that was a broad electionand I'm not sure Corey did you do
you happen to remember? Granted Coreywin Leon County over Lauran Ousley, I'd
have to look. I can't rememberif he won, I know, I
highly doubt it. I mean,I think he could win every county in

(08:03):
our region minus Leon and Gadsden.Yeah, yeah, and and he might
have fared okay in Gadsden County.I don't know. But the question I've
asked is, Okay, why whatwhat? What? What got accomplished for
recovery? I mean, how didRepublicans gain a bunch of ground in Leon

(08:24):
County? Anyway? Like I said, for the sake of the party,
I hope and he does well.He certainly is outside the mold of the
typical people that seem to run theparty, and so you know, and
and Evan is not without some politicalchops and skills. They're just maybe Leon

(08:45):
County is just that place where youcan't win. I don't know, but
I believe that a Republican can winthe superintendent education race. I think the
math is there, and I thinkthat Republicans can win, you know,
districts. I think Republicans can wincounty districts, and I think the state
needs to force the city to goto districts. But that's a topic for

(09:09):
another day. You know, we'vetalked about the ridiculousness of California's minimum wage
and what it's doing to fast food. Set all that aside. A discussion
has jumped up, and it's Californiabased, but I think it's it's something

(09:30):
that you can extend into other areas. And it has to do with someone
who posted something on social media aboutthe twenty five dollars McDonald's forty piece chicken
McNugget meal deal. Sick. Nowhere's the thing. People are going twenty
five bucks, and I'm like,wait a minute, now, that seems

(09:52):
like a really smoking deal to me. It probably I feel like they'd had
those really big nugget size options before, and it didn't used to be twenty
five dollars, So I think that'swhat they're saying. Well, but check
this out. Ten years ago,the average price of a ten McNugget meal
was five ninety nine. Now it'sten ninety nine. Okay, so do

(10:15):
the math. Yea four ten nuggetmeals are going to run you forty five
bucks including tax. You do eachget maybe a smaller or medium fry with
that and a drink. This isforty chicken McNuggets, two large fries which

(10:35):
could easily be divided among four people, right, but no drinks, water
cups for everyone. Twenty five bucks. I think in the grand scheme of
things, that's a pretty good deal. There's also a thing out there apparently
there's a Now I don't eat BigMax because I can't stand thousand Island dressing.
And that's what they've got on thosethings. I don't care what anybody

(10:58):
says. That's thousand islands and thousandIsland dressing is one of the most disgusting
concoctions that's ever been put on thepalate of man. It's gross. How
do you feel about that? Haveyou eaten thousand Island dressing? It's been
a while and what did you Whatdo you remember about it? I mean,
I think I generally liked it,Okay, hold on, but it's

(11:20):
been a while. Yeah, Igenerally go for other uh salad dressing.
So even in the pantheon of saladdressings, it's like the one that gets
picked last on the on the onthe the the playground, I suppose.
So, okay, unless you takethe thousand Island unless you're really into it.

(11:41):
Yeah, But anyway, there thereis a meal out there that is
that is crushing it in my mind, that that offers you some Big Max
and some fries and all that stuff. But I just think you just need
to be smart if you have toeat fast food. There are ways to

(12:01):
make your way around it unless you'rein California. But but in California,
now that twenty five dollars forty nuggetthing that that's that's a deal. That's
that's you're almost back to old priceson a McNugget meal. There. I'm
just saying, Preston Scott, Igot bad thought. My news Radio one

(12:22):
hundred point seven double UFLA Fridays onthe Morning Show a little bit different.
The news cycle generally cooperates. Thereare exceptions. Today We're doing a little
bit of a deep dive into NPRbecause I don't think many people fully understand

(12:48):
how bad NPR is and how itall works. We'll do our best to
break it down. This comes froman insider or someone who is with NPR
for twenty five years, and otherformer NPR employees are jumping on board saying,
yeah, that's coming up next hour. Ten brands that are actually growing

(13:11):
in this crappy economy. It's readyfor what's the bee Friday? And of
course the final hour features the bestand worst of the week and more big
stories in the press Box brought toyou by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertise
Grove A Grova I don't think it'sgoing to matter one bit to Grant and

(13:33):
his generation. I mean literally,okay, but two people that are maybe
forty and older, maybe forty five, we absolutely especially if you're my age.
You remember OJ Simpson, the footballplayer. You remember OJ Simpson the

(13:56):
football player turned actor, kind ofthe laughable goofball in he was in a
Naked Gun movie. Yeah, Iremember seeing him in the Naked Gun Yeah,
I mean he was. He wasa goofball. It's funny running through
airports for Hertz rental cars. Hewas a thing. I mean, the

(14:18):
guy ran for two thousand plus yardsin a season that was fourteen games.
He was an incredible football player,and then he murdered his ex wife and
a friend. It wasn't a boyfriendof hers, it wasn't. He was
literally he was a waiter at arestaurant where Nicole Brown Simpson ate dinner with

(14:43):
her mom. Her mom left herglasses. The guy ran, it ran
the glasses by and he just happenedto be in the wrong place at the
wrong time. O. J.Simpson died yesterday, apparently a long battle
with prostate cancer. He was seventysix. I will never forget after he

(15:07):
was acquitted, which was one ofthe greatest tragedies. It was a bad
prosecution, and I watched the trial. It was a bad prosecution. Marcia
Clark did not do a very goodjob. They know the old If they
do not fit, you must acquit. With the gloves, she didn't make

(15:28):
him put the surgical gloves on properly. If you look at the tape,
when he put on his surgical glovesto try on the gloves used in the
murder, he had the webbing ofthe surgical gloves way up high on the
knuckles, so when he pulled theglove on, it was like, it
doesn't fit. It doesn't fit.Oh, no, they fit. I

(15:50):
think you're right about the generations thingabout this, because I know everything you're
talking about. I have zero ideawhat you're talking about. It was a
vicious murder, and and I've gatheredkind of the obviously by osmosis over time.
I get the general idea, butlike, I have zero clue who

(16:10):
any of these people are. Yeah, it's kind of wild actually, And
so Simpson writes a book after he'sacquitted, called If I Did It?
That sounds like your confession. That'sexactly what it was, and he's he
famously said he'll spend the rest ofhis life trying to track down the killer

(16:32):
of Nicole and Ron. He musthave thought the killers play golf, because
he spent the rest of his lifeplaying golf, not searching for anybody.
But if you're in case, you'reinterested the book. Because of a judge's
ruling, he was found guilty ofthe murders in a civil trial, and

(16:55):
so it's now called I did ItConfessions of the Killer and it's written by
OJ And the proceeds of the bookgo to the Goldman family because they want
a judgment, and so the judgesaid, yeah, this book, all
proceeds go too. And it's justit's just it's a surreal ending sort of

(17:15):
if you're the Goldman family, no, if you're the Brown family. No.
For the Simpson kids, maybe theyget some peace now that he's dead.
But if you look at his conductafter and the crimes, and he
did prison time for other crimes.Yeah, people around the case are saying,

(17:41):
I hope he found peace, becauseI believe he did it. I
remember Alan Dershowitz came on this showand I asked him. He was very
coy if he was on the defenseteam. He was one of the defending
attorneys of oj I said, doyou think he did it? The Morning
Show with Preston Scott on news Radioone hundred point seven WFLA forty two past

(18:19):
the hour, another big story inthe press box. Polling actually right now
Emerson College shows that only forty twopercent are planning to vote yes on the
Florida abortion Amendment. We'll see.Information is the best tool on this.

(18:44):
You gotta argue on viability. You'vegot to argue that the language does not
limit abortion at all, and itdoesn't and it forbids laws from being made
that do this is ridiculous. Anyway, It's good to see the polling,
excuse me, going the way thatit is early on, But there will
be a ton of money. They'llreframe this, they will go they will

(19:10):
go real blurry on the actual wordingof the amendment. So it's up to
you to educate, even if evenif you believe that abortion should be allowed
in certain circumstances beyond what the lawallows in Florida, which is now the
six week law, which I meana month and a half is kind of
a lot of time to go aheadand deal with whatever you think you need

(19:33):
to do. And I still knowof there are methods that are one hundred
percent successful in preventing unwanted pregnancies.They work every time. So you know,
I'm just not sympathetic to the argumentsthat we're making that. Oh well,
you know, people will whatever whatever. Got this note from George who

(19:57):
probably will call in for what's theget this? Have you heard what Disney
just did? They bought Epstein Island. No, yes, sir, Oh
my gosh. They let me.Let me as if Disney hasn't gone far
enough into the world of being woke, that's not woke, as if this,

(20:17):
as if the CEO and the boardcouldn't think of anything else more perverted
and more disgusting, or anything worseto cause Disney to lose a few more
billion in market value. Disney goesand pulls this gem out of their hat.
Disney has bought Jeffrey Epstein's Pervert Islandfor three billion dollars. Disney plans
to make it a stop for theircruise ships. They plan a new build,

(20:40):
a new theme park on the island. I wonder what Disney will name
it, Pedophile Paradise. You can'tmake this stuff up. No, I
almost don't believe it. He's checking. Well, I need to spell Epstein
right, Okay, this website isnot helpful. Proceed Another note here from

(21:08):
Mark oj did confess they squeezed itout of him. OJ I saw something
that I wasn't putting that in thedad joker. Yeah, I saw a
joke. Now, not going todo that. Not gotta it wouldn't be
peden. Thank you, Mark.You made us laugh. If nothing else,

(21:32):
you made us laugh. Filmmaker EliSteele, Have you heard about this
killing America? No? Uh?Thirty six minute video examining widespread anti semitism
in San Francisco area schools after AMASattacked Israel on October seventh, and whether

(21:52):
educational standards being lowered in the nameof equity resulted in pushback against Israel and
Jewish people. The film notes thatracial equity is often prioritized a head of
merit in schools at question. Thehonors classes were removed as ethnic studies were
added, but when the film trailerfeatured footage from Sequoia Union High School district

(22:17):
board meeting, he was hit witha cease and desist letter from the student
newspaper at one of the schools inthe film. YouTube and Vimeo put it
back or pulled it off, pulledit back from release. So he's pushed
it out to all the other outletsfree. He wants it seen, and

(22:40):
here's and obviously I hope he suesbecause a school board meeting in every state
that I know of in this country, even the communist state of California,
is public record. So how doesthe cease and desist co public domain video

(23:06):
and audio? So YouTube immediately andVimeo, which is a decent outlet usually,
I mean, so we're gonna seeif we can find this thing on
Rumble and then put it embedded onon the blog page. It's called killing
America. And so the trailer hasbeen pulled and apparently he's releasing the whole

(23:27):
thing now free. This is theMorning Show with Preston. Scott's back here
on the Morning Show issuing a fullstop and retraction. Yeah, we we

(23:49):
were misled. It happens, andwhen it does, we we do full
retractions. That was satire news thatour and bid into. Maybe he was
pulling a Friday funny No no,on April first, I'd have loved it.

(24:12):
Yeah, but now I rely onmy researchers to be better. So
George, George, you've been reliable. You're still batting ninety nine percent.
Okay, but on that one itwas a whiff. This is well,

(24:37):
wait, let me segue using thisand then we'll get to another story tomorrow.
For those of you that are inthe Leon County area, guys,
we're looking for big brothers, andyes, we're looking for biological dudes that

(25:00):
want to be big brothers. Thereare more than one hundred and ten little
guys out there that are looking fora big brother. And so tomorrow,
big brothers, big sisters of theBig Bend, we'll be holding a flag
football game at Fred George Park fromten to noon. It's flag football.

(25:21):
It's just an introduction to the program. No commitments, nothing, just hanging
out, chilling, meeting some ofthe guys and the people that run the
program. But some of the littleguys that are looking for a big brother,
you are not making a commitment bygoing. So lace up to tennys
and come ready to have a goodtime, and who knows, maybe you'll

(25:47):
be a big brother. It's aprocess. It takes about four hours a
month at minimum, if you wantto give more, the more time the
better. But four hours is whatthey ask of you, so four hours
a month. So there you go, about an hour a week. Saw
this story and i can see thehandwriting on the wall, and I'm grateful

(26:10):
that in this case there's a littlepunchback going on. Lady was traveling in
the back of an airstream that wasbeing towed with her older children, and
the door swung open, and they'recalling it a serious design flaw, and

(26:30):
she grabbed to pull it closed andpromptly fell out and died. And of
course fatal design flaw played a partin this unthinkable death, posited the daughter
airstream points out first, you're notsupposed to be in a trailer when it's
being towed. So I'm hoping wedon't see silly litigation, but memo,

(26:57):
don't ride in a trailer being told. Here we go, second hour of
the Morning Show. At Preston's back, Good morning, good to be with

(27:18):
you. He's Grant Allen. I'mPreston, Friday, April twelfth. By
the way, your taxes tax daysMonday, just saying Master's golf tournament underway.
Bryson d Schambeau. I've heard itpronounce so many ways to shamba.

(27:41):
D Chambeau is the leader, ScottieScheffler being Scottie Scheffler, one shot back
Tiger Woods, playing good golf.Really happy for him, really am.
I'm pulling for the man to makethe cut and make a make a run.
It'd be awesome for the game.But I'm also pulling for live players

(28:03):
to not make the cut in tobottom out and not be in the top
ten. But that's just me.I've been asked if I'll do a golf
show, a weekend one hour golfshow. I don't know. I've given
it very serious thought, just sayingjust yeah. Anyway. There have been

(28:32):
a bunch of stories coming out thisweek about NPR. Do you know anything
about NPR. You ever listened toNPR? No, I've never listened to
it. State regime media, andthat's why I don't listen. Juri Berliner
Berliner twenty five years, an editorat NPR National Public Radio, published an

(28:56):
essay on Tuesday this week, andit was published in the Free Press.
He stated the outlet was striving totake down Trump during his presidency by citing
Russia collusion allegations that were later debunked. He asserts that all levels of the

(29:18):
organization were aligned on the prioritization ofrace and identity, leading to a lack
of viewpoint diversity and increase in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Barry Weiss
has written about this. She rememberwas editorial director or op ed content editor

(29:42):
for The New York Times. Sheleft for the very same set of reasons,
bias inside the newsroom. Now she'sno flaming conservative. She's just and
she might be a flaming liberal,but she believes in the importance of an
unbiased news outlet. Inside his report, he wrote, persistent rumors that the

(30:06):
Trump campaign colluded with Russia over theelection became the catnip that drove reporting at
NPR. We hitched our wagonto Trump'smost visible antagonist, representative Adam Schiff.
See all of a sudden, nowthings start becoming clear. He criticized the

(30:30):
outlets managing editor for neglecting to coverHunter Biden's laptop story, quoting the managing
editor as saying, we don't wantto waste our time on stories that are
not really stories, and we don'twant to waste the listeners and readers time
on stories that are pure distractions.Now, just for a second, pause

(30:52):
and think about that. The storythat was a story Hunter Biden's laptop ignored,
brushed under just stuff it way,the one that wasn't a story that
wasted tens of millions, if notmore, taxpayer dollars, gets all the
attention in limelight. Every part ofthe Russia collusion thing has been completely and

(31:15):
totally proven to be false. HillaryClinton the DNC were the ones that hired
and went all in on this.They're the ones that were colluding with Russia.
He goes on to talk about thereporting during COVID that it was biased,

(31:37):
one sided. They weren't listening toother opinions. He writes. In
twenty twenty three, according to ourdemographic records and research, six percent of
our news audience was black, farshort of the US population, which is
fourteen point four percent. Hispanics areonly seven percent compared with nineteen Our news
audience doesn't come close to reflecting America. It's overwhelmingly white, progressive, and

(32:00):
clustered around coastal cities and college towns. He said, an open minded spirit
no longer exists with an NPR.Now, predictably, we don't have an
audience that reflects America. He's spellingout the problems that have existed four years.
How long I'll illustrate that next tenminutes past the hour. We're an

(32:21):
hour two. It is the MorningShow with Preston Scott. It's the Morning
Show with Trestan Scott on news Radioone hundred point seven WFLA. There's a
lot to this whole NPR thing,including funding, where and how they get

(32:44):
their money. Yes, you aresupporting NPR with taxpayer dollars, whether you
listen to them or not. Theamount and how it all works is a
little sketchy. We'll try to unpackthat. But how far back does this
go? Well, it goes backa law ways, but it goes back
at least to Jan Williams. Youmay remember Wan Williams, who's been the

(33:07):
off and on Democrats slash liberal voiceon Fox News when they have their anchored
shows. And again, their anchoredshows definitely lean right. Their news is

(33:27):
historically been down the middle. It'slosing some of that. It's it's hedging
left. But at any rate,he was fired in twenty ten from NPR.
He had been there a long time. Why well, because on the
O'Reilly factor. He said that hehad apprehension when witnessing Muslim garb and airports

(33:54):
after September eleventh. He admitted towhat everyone one else is thinking. He
just said it out loud, thatislamis dressing in the traditional islamis garb.
We're a little nerve wracking, littleunnerving, i should say, after September

(34:17):
eleventh, so he got fired.He said, I'm not a bigot.
You know the kind of books I'vewritten about the civil rights move in this
country. But when I get ona plane, I gotta tell you,
I see people who are in Muslimgarb, and I think, you know,
they're identifying themselves first and foremost asMuslims. I get worried. I

(34:38):
get nervous. I don't think I'ma wild eyed conservative, but they thought
I was too conservative a black guyfor their company. Not only did they
fire me, they called me apsycho. They said horrible things about me,
quite publicly. So no, itdoesn't surprise me what Berliner had to
say. This is long before Trumpever showed up. This is long before

(35:05):
Trump derangement syndrome. One of thethings that Berliner uncovered is that the newsroom
is eighty seven nothing registered Democrats eightyseven to nothing, is not even a
token Republican in there. What's sosad is that this is now part of

(35:32):
a web and your tax dollars arebeing used to support it. And what
you need to perhaps understand is howthis all fits with something called the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting. Wait, you'vegot PBS and the and you've got NPR,

(36:01):
and now what's this Corporation for PublicBroadcasting see CPB. Yeah, when
we come back, we're gonna we'regoing to go in a little bit and
try to clear the mud away towhere you get at least a little bit
of a look through some murky waterinto how this all works. I can

(36:24):
tell you that from my vantage point, NPR national Public Radio, has a
very unfair advantage in the marketplace,and we will talk about that along with
how they get their money next onthe Morning Show with Prusty Scott. All

(36:53):
Right, just wrapping up here realquickly, and I want to move on
to something else. The Corporation forPublic Broadcast is a private, nonprofit.
It distributes federal funding two NPR andPBS. It was granted five hundred and

(37:16):
twenty five million dollars in advanced fundingfor just twenty twenty four. It was
created out of the nineteen sixty sevenPublic Broadcasting Act to disburse federal grants to
public broadcasters around the country. NPRsays less than one percent of its annual

(37:37):
operating budget comes from CPB, butthat's not really that accurate because of the
way it's set up. They basicallyhave a an agreement where one funds the
other, which funds back to theone. So long and the short of

(38:00):
it is, taxpayer dollars are used. Yeah, they do listeners support drives,
but they're allowed to compete against allthe other radio stations that are commercially
out there, and they compete inthe ratings, and they are supported with

(38:20):
tech. They don't have to goout and beat the roads and the stores
and the and businesses for advertising.They get funded without having to do that,
but yet they compete against it.It's a really weird mashup. All
this to say that, when it'sall said and done, you have to

(38:40):
decide whether you're going to trust theaccuracy of what they're saying. If you
just look at Trump and COVID alone. That's over. They consider themselves the
most trusted news gathering agency, andthat may be simply because people don't know
any better. Now this I justcame across. It sort of relates in

(39:05):
a sense that this is what goodbroadcasting sounds like. And you're gonna listen
to Julia Hartley Brewer. She isabout to move into an interview with a
Chavanni Dave or Dave, and atthe top of this interview, the gender

(39:31):
Activists decides to set the radio showhost hostess straight on pronouns. Check out
what ensued. My next guest whois at Shavanni Dave. She is a
journalist and a presenter at Virtue Majajust down the corridor. Good afternoon too,
Shavannio today. Then how are youdoing? Yeah, thank you for

(39:55):
telling me your pronouns. I usecorrect grammar, so so the only only
thing I'll need to refer you tois to your face would be you.
But I'm not being rude. Youcan choose your pronouns, you can choose
what you want to call yourself,but you don't have You don't get to
require me to use incorrect grammar andfactually incorrect things. You're not a plural.
You're, you're, you're a oneperson, and you're you're a female

(40:19):
person, so i'll use she andher. Thank you very much, Do
what you like. I guess youwant. You didn't need to tell me,
then, did you. Maybe I'mjust making sure people know in case
they're watching and they want to referto me respectfully. Is it disrespectful for
me to use correct factual grammar.It's not incorrect or on factual grammar to
use singular day then pronouns for anindividual. But we're here to talk about

(40:43):
the cast review. Yeah, butbut you, but you chose, but
you chose to bring it up.You chose to use the incorrect pronouns for
me. I chose to choose thecorrect pronouns for a single woman who is
appearing on my show. I'm nota single woman, though, I'm a
very special non binary person. Asyou just pointed out, I didn't.

(41:04):
I didn't just point that. Iintroduced you as a journalist and a virgin
radio presenter. No, just beforeI came on, you were talking about
how people with all these labels liketo be special, and I'm just making
sure that everyone knows I'm special.Okay, I'm not special. I'm just
a boring, old, heterosexual,married woman. But you know legend immediately

(41:24):
a legend, see is the leftis so good at gaslighting you into like
thinking like that you're wrong, right, it's it's just the biggest gaslight in
the world. And if you can't, you can't reason with unreasonable you can't
be sensible with delusional people. That'sI appreciate the effort, though, I

(41:47):
really do. She didn't back down. Yeah. I will not use improper
language and grammar, and that's theissue in schools, colleges, universities,
will not use pronouns that are grammaticallyincorrect and factually wrong. And that's why,
to put a bow on this entirehalf hour, That's why the reporting

(42:14):
that we witness when a story iswritten about a transgender and they insist on
referring to the person not as theirbiological gender, which is a fact,
but as they're made up one,which is fiction. That's where you question
the reporting when they don't adhere tothe most fundamental, simple things that are

(42:35):
factually laid out and they start usingincorrect grammar. Don't trust that news outlet.
Don't trust them. I love thefact that this little snip could not
bully this woman into playing her gamethat she's You're entitled to call yourself whatever

(42:57):
you want. I don't have to, and that's what all of us have
to remember. Twenty seven minutes afterthe hour, big stories in the press
box coming up. What's the Beef? About a half hour away. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Thirty five minutes after the hour, half

(43:25):
hour from now, we begin theodyssey known as What's the Beef Friday?
Here in the Morning Show with PrestonScott. He's great, Allen, we
have breaking news. How often doI say those words? Because news doesn't
break at seven thirty in the morningEast Coast time, It just doesn't.

(43:46):
Usually that's like a catastrophe or somethinglike that, that kind of news,
like a bridge collapse overnight, somethinglike that. Maybe the White House has
announced today this morning it is cancelingan additional seven point four billion dollars of
student loan debt. Ladies and gentlemen, our national debt is over thirty four

(44:13):
point five trillion dollars, and heis adding to it with the stroke of
a pen. States filed suit thisweek, stopping the last effort among those
states Florida, Georgia, Ohio,Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota,

(44:37):
Missouri. I mean, the listis just growing. Biden wants to
cost US four hundred and seventy fivebillion dollars in total student aid relief.
It is unconscionable what he's doing tothis country. Big stories in the press
box brought to you by Grove,a creative marketing and digital expertise. That's

(45:00):
a big story. This is Ihope Republicans don't fall into this trap of
will do what we want and letthe court sort it out. What do
you think of this? This isa crazy idea, and I've advanced it.
I think maybe once, why don'twe get some sort of provision in

(45:29):
there that says, you know,Congress passes a law, but before they
pass it, or just after,before it takes effect, they have to
get a legal opinion from the SupremeCourt. This is past constitutional muster.
Some would say, do you realizehow many cases that is? Yeah,

(45:52):
I do. Can't take effect untilthere's a ruling if they're going to do
something that in this case, it'san executive order. For example, Sorry,
okay, fine, you signed yourname to it good for you.
It's going to to the Supreme Court. They'll settle it that way. We

(46:14):
don't have to go through all ofthis litigation. And I know that there's
probably very good reasons why my ideais stupid. I'm okay with that,
and if it's wrong, it's wrong. But there sure seems to be there's
got to be a better way thanus being hurt as a nation by executive

(46:36):
orders that exceed the authority of theoffice that they can take effect and you
have to then have standing to filesome legal argument against it. That it
just doesn't seem right to me.O. J. Simpson's dead seventy six,
died of cancer. Noteworthy because hewas never convicted of the crime he

(47:05):
really committed, but he was convictedin the court of public opinion. The
evidence was overwhelming. What year didthat happen? Nineteen ninety four, A
couple of years two three years beforeyou were born June twelfth, So he
when did He wasn't still playing footballin the early nineties. He was in

(47:29):
the year retired, okay, longretired. Played in the seventies maybe early
eighties. Brilliant career, But yeah, I'm inclined to buy the book because
the proceeds go to the Goldman familyif they You know, I've never considered

(47:51):
buying it, but I probably won't. I just there are other books I
want to read before I would wastemy time listening to that jerk write as
words. And then polling shows theabortion initiative that will be on the ballot
might have trouble passing. It's greatthat the polling is showing that, but
you cannot just let it sit there. You've got to understand the problems with

(48:15):
that abortion amendment and argue against it. Preston Scott, the greatest trick the
Devil ever pulled was convincing the worldhe didn't exist. On news radio one
point seven double UFLA. All right, we're gonna do a little brand word

(48:45):
association here. I'm going to lista brand and you're going to form an
opinion real quickly, or just kindof think through what jumps in your mind
about the brand and let me knowif you're surprised. And you could just

(49:10):
send me an email when this isall said and done, president atiheartradio dot
com, or you can just sayit out loud in the car wherever you
are and feel like we're having aconversation here. These are ten retail brands
that, according to a Yelp report, are the fastest growing retail brands in

(49:34):
the country. It was a listusing a blended metric that includes new openings,
searches on its platform between twenty twoand twenty three, consumer interest measured
by page visits, posted photos,written reviews, and of the fastest,

(49:55):
the fifty fastest growing chains, thirtyfive or restaurant brands. Which is fascinating
to me in the climate that weare in Number one Kava. When I
first saw co I've never heard ofit. I'm thinking this has to be

(50:16):
sort of a take on a coffeething. It's not. It's Mediterranean,
fast casual. Interesting. They're openinglocations pretty quickly across the country. Scooter's
Coffee at number two, obviously tryingto get in on the Starbucks craze,

(50:40):
recognizing that Starbucks is a real strongrepresentation in the corporate world of woke activism
and overpriced coffee. I don't knowwhat kind of margins exist in coffee,
but perhaps and I don't know anythingabout the political leanings of Scooters, but

(51:07):
perhaps they're trying my point in sayingall that there's room. There's absolutely room.
I've got to believe people are tiredof lines at Starbucks. Number three
shocked me. Longhorn Steakhouse. Whynot because the food's bad. Food's very

(51:27):
good, but oh my gosh,is it expensive. Number four the habit
burger grill. Young brands owns it, and I mean young brands think Taco

(51:50):
Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC.But they are really pushing the development.
And if you look at their profile, Pizza Mexican and then Chicken a burger
place fits their portfolio really well.Number five is wah wah. Those are
growing across the country. It's conveniencestore, gas station chain like a circle

(52:14):
K seven eleven, Yeah, I'veheard of them. I don't know anything
about them. Number six in thefastest growing retail chains is Popeyes. Really,
and again I'm surprised at any restauranton this list giving the climate of
the marketplace. Number seven Freddy's FrozenCustard and Steak Burgers. What is it

(52:36):
nineteen fifty right, it's a Midwesternchain that is expanding. Number eight is
Rally House. I don't know thatone. It is apparel retailer and it's
the only one in the top ten. Huh. Number nine is Olive Garden.
Olive Garden is still expanding. Hey, that used to be the fancy

(53:00):
place growing up. You know whatI'm saying, Come on, get the
breadsticks, salad and pasta fijule right, just staring at the waiter telling him
when to stop the cheese greater,just testing him to see how long he'd
go and see that commercial. Iknow what you're saying, sweat on the
lip. I just know that thatI have to stay away from the place

(53:22):
for one reason. They put downthe breadsticks. By the time they bring
the water back, the breadsticks aregone inhale more, another round of waters
more by the time I get tothe menu, nap, I'm good.
Olive Garden checks in at number nineand number ten Jersey Mike's really yes.

(53:46):
So it's fascinating to see what brandsare expanding. I know that, as
I said them, some of youhad an immediate opinion good bad, are
indifferent. I'll be fascinated to seeif some of these make their way into
where most of us live here.This is my reminder that I'm at the
end of the bell curve of adoptionof things because I was completely unaware of

(54:13):
most of those. A good chunkof those I had no idea. Forty
seven minutes after the hour, We'llget you ready for what's the bee Friday?
Loosen up your index finger, getready to dial? Where is it
your thumb? Preston Scott? Canyou fly this plane and land it?
Surely you can't be serious. Iam serious, and don't call me shurely.
My news radio one hundred point SEVENBUFLA. Internally, I refer to this

(54:45):
section of the radio program on Fridayas the priming of the pump. A
House Democrat at Representative Jasmine Crockett ofTexas made an appearance on the Black Lawyers

(55:09):
podcast. That's the title. First, let's just call a time out.
Can I be a guest on theshow? Thank you? That's exactly where
I'm going, And I know thatprobably fifty to sixty percent of blacks agree

(55:36):
with me right right now. Anotherten to fifteen percent, if I had
a chance to talk to him aboutit and reason, would agree with me,
leaving only the ardent activists out there, of which there are whites,
Blacks, Hispanics, Asians. They'reall crazy, but there is no ch

(56:00):
ants a White Lawyer's podcast would everbe allowed. And know, if you
were a lawyer, you would notever be welcome at the Black Lawyer's Podcast.
Nor would anyone ever want to becaught dead going on the quote unquote

(56:21):
white Lawyer's podcast because the social capitalof being even the word white right,
just being associated with something that isexplicitly white would be just career wrecking.
There are black attorneys that could notappear on the Black Lawyer's Podcast because the

(56:43):
moment they opened their mouth and saidsomething contrary to the narrative, they would
probably not be welcome. But I'mguessing on that I could be wrong.
I just know that the title inand of itself is enough to say uh
oh. And so she suggested thatblack people shouldn't pay taxes as a form

(57:04):
of reparations. I'm just going toask to all of you, does this
help or hurt the cause of aracially harmonious society? Does this kind of
rhetoric help or hurt the cause?I'm just gonna let it hang there for
a second second. Thing as weget ready for what's the beef? Los

(57:30):
Angeles Times headline, California spent billionson homelessness without tracking if it worked.
They spent twenty billion over the lastfive years, and they have no idea
if it did anything. They didn'tbother checking. There were no ways to
measure, to determine if any ofit was useful. I mentioned that because

(57:52):
communities all over the country are doingthe exact same thing. They're throwing money
into programs and projects, and theydon't have a clue if it's working.
And you know whose money that is. It's yours, it's your money.
What's to be Fridays next? Thelines are open? Did did that help
that? Out of help? Right? Kurt Russell the movie Miracle tossing the

(58:16):
table? I think that out ofhelp? Eight five zero two zero five
WFLA eight five zero two zero fiveninety three fifty two. The lines are
open. Let's do this dirt andfinal hour of the Morning Show with Thrests

(58:43):
Scott turning the page on the runnow means it's you for the next half
hour. If you're brand new tothe radio program, we set aside this
time of the week for you tojust vent. As the title suggests,
we want you to just get itoff your chest. Whatever you want to
complain about. No filibustering, justzero in, let it out, but

(59:09):
with two rules, no profanity anddon't make it personal. Simple as that
phone numbers eight five zero two zerofive ninety three fifty two will simplify that
to eight five zero two zero fiveWSLA. George has been very patient.
Good morning, sir, welcome,what's the beef? Good? More impressed?
And first of all, let meapologize for getting the hook caught.

(59:34):
I know what the Press Secretary Kareemjohn Um feels like now, except I'm
not a black lesbian wacko liberal wackoJonathan you know me. Let me let
me apologize for that. It isApril first, right present. So my
beef today is with the just absoluteaudacity and gall of the City Commission to

(59:59):
put on the table one hundred percentpay raise for themselves in a three to
two vote. One, it's absurdthat they work less than ten hours a
week, some don't even show up. And two, in these economic times,
the look that that presents and shows, I mean, people need to

(01:00:19):
show up at that at that meetingand voice their displeasure and bring ten friends.
I mean, I just can't seeanything that's that's more just out of
touch and reality, and it justgoes to show you, you know,
we need to get rid of someof those soaks and get rid of them.
Now, well, here's the problem. The guys that the people that
voted against it are the people thatneed to go. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:00:44):
And to make it even more confusing, term limits there. Their politicians are
like babies diapers. They need tobe changed often and for the same reason.
Thank you, George. Appreciate thephone call that's going to free up
a line. Eight five zero twozero five WFLA Andrea or Andrea, Andrea,

(01:01:05):
Andrea. How are you, hey, Preston. I'm doing great.
I just wanted to call in.Also about the city commissioners wanting to double
their salary to match the county commissioners. Yeah, I actually have a better
idea. Tell me, how aboutwe cut the county commissioner's salaries and have
to match the city commissioners and doublethe salaries of the men and the women
for the Tallahassee Fire Department. Here'sthe problem with that. The county commissioner's

(01:01:30):
pay is set by the state legislature. That's a bummer, But I like
your I like where you're going withthis. Fair. Fair Yeah. The
only bad side is the firefighters goton the got in the midst of the
last election. They shouldn't have they'repaying the agree with that, yep,
yep. A union should never everAndrew, thanks so much for calling in.

(01:01:52):
I agree that our first responders shouldbe paid more. That's just my
opinion. But I also think theyshould stay out of a lifetions. Do
they have a right to be in. I'm sure they do, but you
pay the price, and this teachers'union hasn't learned that lesson. And I
would think that the local firefighters unionwould take a lesson from them and would

(01:02:13):
move past this type of political engagementwould be the way I would work it.
Let's go to Ian Hi. Ian, thanks for calling in. What's
the beef? Good morning, Pressed, and my beef. I live out
in Jefferson County, and whenever weget weather like we did the other day,
where we get a lot of rainfall, there's a lot of water and
whatnot, we get a lot ofwildlife that kind of upticks and travels its

(01:02:36):
way across one road to the otherand whatnot. And I just my beef
is that nobody stops to help theturtles. Man. I was on my
way out, saved a few turtleson my way into work, and then
on my way back I saw thatthere were a few that didn't get a
chance to make it. So that'smy beach today, man, I just
I wanted to express that more peopleneed to get out and if it's safe
and you don't cause any issues onthe road, get out and save some
turtles. Hey, let me askyou a question. Have you ever lived

(01:02:58):
in Leon County? Yes? Absolutely? Do you remember the money spent saving
turtles here? I do? Ido remember that. We know all about
saving some turtles, my friend Ian, thanks very much. I appreciate the
phone call. Eight five zero twozero five WFLA. No, that's a
true story, the amount of moneythat we spent saving some turtles, which

(01:03:22):
ironically we probably didn't save. Wemade the meals by funneling them to where
the alligators hang out underneath the overpasses. But that's a story for another day
as well. Alan, you arenext, then, Ron. We've got
all the lines taken at this pointand one line ringing, so we're good.

(01:03:42):
But just get yourself ready. Youwill have an opportunity to call in
take a quick break for weather intraffic. It is what's the bee?
Friday in the Morning Show with PrestonScott. Good morning, Come to the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Gettingthrough your complaints to help you feel better.

(01:04:12):
This is our contribution to a kinderhome, a kinder community, a
kinder you, because we're getting thatvenom out of your very soul. Alan,
thanks so much for calling in andfor waiting. What's the beef?
Hello, it's you, Alan,You're up. What's the beef? I

(01:04:32):
got a definition of Republicans versus Democrats. Republicans like to have everybody equal at
the beginning of the race. TheDemocrats want everybody equal at the end of
the race. Is your is yourcomplaint that we haven't identified that mantra for

(01:04:55):
common use? I suppose you couldthat way. Yeah, yeah, see,
I'm trying to find a beef inthere somewhere. See that you got
to work with me here, Alan, I'm trying this is what's the beef?
And so you're that nobody can beequal at the end of a race.
Can all be winners? You're goingto have to have some losers in

(01:05:18):
there. Yeah. See, there'sthere's the mistake in your thinking. You're
thinking logically. Illiberals believe absolutely forequal outcomes, except for those that are
mandating it. They want to beslightly above everybody else, if not a
lot. And that's the way socialiststhink. Let's go to Ron. Hi,

(01:05:40):
Ron, you're up. What's thebeef? Good morning press? It
always thank you, thank you,thank y'all telling Grant that he needs as
much. Thank you, also thatyou you have definitely took my opinions rush
his place, because I'm too.Guys, that's on there now that you
know, DoD blufs OJ but thatwas her show yesterday. But anyway,
you know, the guy Mail comeson after you was talking about the inside

(01:06:04):
trading that you know, even nowthat we're going to sell weapons to Japan,
which is a good thing, that'sfine, but they're doing inside trading
arm anything that has to do withthe military in the stock. I mean,
wasn't there supposed to be something doneabout this that I don't understand where

(01:06:25):
Yeah, they passed loud the breakcan go on and on and on.
They passed legislation that was watered down. Ron, thanks very much as always
for the kind words. They passedlegislation in response to Peter Schweizer's book throw
them all out. But they wateredit down and it was basically meaningless.
There are some disturbing things inside thisinsider trading focus. It's coming right now.

(01:06:47):
I'm not prepared to talk about it, but I hope it's I hope
what I'm hearing is wrong. Ijust I'm not sure that it is.
But thanks very much for calling in. Let's go to Wesley hid Wesley,
thank you, and what's the beef? My beef is and stuff about the
Ojay trial. And here's the thing. It's with California and the forensic people.

(01:07:08):
That's why that case was lost.I think had it was been in
Florida or anywhere else, they mostlikely would have got a conviction. But
they botched the clime scene because it'sCalifornia. If you look at how they
operate now, yep, they're alittle better because when they had sound Puffy
Combs and they did the raid onhis house, they were more diligent.

(01:07:30):
But that's why it's California. Andback then nobody paid attention. But the
reason why California is in the stateit is now, it was like that.
Back then, people just didn't payattention and it was the blood evidence.
Had they properly calialoged how many vowelsof blood they had, and had
the blood that they said came fromthe crime scene did not have blood preservative,

(01:07:57):
they would have got a conviction.You take the same faulty ever of
it with the blood that they hadback then, he's still would have got
off because it was the client scene. People. I'm not saying what or
not he's guilty or innocent. Imean, what do you think? What
do you really what do you thinkdeep down? Well, I think if

(01:08:17):
I think that he did it,because the whole thing about the whole story
of it never made any If you'resaying to me that did he have some
of his friends there and he didit? Probably, But I don't think
that Ron Goldman is just standing therewhile old days I'm not going to be
graphic doing what he's doing, andhe's just looking at it. So,

(01:08:41):
I mean, but he's a richguy. They do stuff like that all
the time and get off. Weall know that. We all know,
like with with the don Kombs case, they got cleaners, people that are
wealthy. They do this stuff allthe time. So Leslie, I got
to run. But brother thanks somuch for calling in. I appreciate hearing
from you. Call again, Bob, your next than Greg, then Moses,

(01:09:02):
it's what's the beef Friday? Wegot one line open, it could
be yours. Final segment of therapyis next. Here we go, final

(01:09:26):
segment of phone calls. What's thebeef Friday? Whatever you want to complain
about and feel free to live vicariouslythrough the beefs of others. That's why
we do this, to help outthousands and thousands and thousands of people with
just a handful of phone callers.Bob, no pressure, what's the beef?
My beef is the lunatics that triedto enter a roundabout and their first

(01:09:48):
order of business, it's their breaks. I've had, you know, I'm
no expert on roundabouts, but inmy area they're free way. It's east
west and one from the north orone from the south. And on two
occasions here recently, I have hada vehicle headed say eastbound, and I'm

(01:10:09):
headed westbound, and they enter theroundabout first, and there's another one from
the north and it's open, soI enter also going in the opposite direction,
and when I do that, theirsense of propriety is so overwhelmed that
they hit their brakes and stop inthe middle of the roundabout and watch me
go in the direction from whence theycame before they can take their put their

(01:10:31):
foot back on the gas and allowthe train of vehicles behind them to follow
them. You know why I'm laughing, don't you. Yeah, misery loves
company. Yeah, thank you,Bop. I appreciate the phone call.
Yeah, roundabouts the bane of alot of our existences. They're genius if
you'd use if you know how tonavigate them, they're awesome. But Greg,

(01:10:57):
thanks for calling in. What's thebeef? Oh oh oh? Greg
went through that entire break and thendropped. Come on, Greg, call
back, buddy. We got roomfor you. Do it. Moses.
You know Moses. I was tellingGrant. I, by the way,
make sure your radio is turned down. In the background, I was telling

(01:11:17):
Grant that it's not just every daythat one gets to pick up a phone
line and talk to Moses. That'sright, that pressed And thanks you for
allow me to brook my opinion.Come on, they speak with Because I

(01:11:39):
was coming to Americas, the miners, the adset, the total takes all
of those people I said, hadcivilization pyramids, all kinds of stuff.
So they were already here. Sohow could somebody come here and discover Americans
and opposed to the Native in thecome to to the United States. Other

(01:12:04):
people are Europeans, come cause thelaw and devastated all that I gotn't none
of Americans but small pods, noother dis We're losing your voice, Moses,
but I got your h I gotthe gist of your beef. You
know, I think there's a semanticalargument that could be made that Columbus didn't

(01:12:25):
discover. In fact, most ofthe explorers didn't discover because we did have
Native American indigenous people already here,but they they came upon it. So
maybe we need to polish that upa little bit. Thanks for calling in,
Moses. Hope your throat feels better. Let's go to Nathan. You're
up. What's the beef? Yes, my beef is with the Leon County

(01:12:46):
Schools and spending over a one hundredthousand dollars for supposedly rebranding in a logo.
It's just ridiculous. Everything starts fromthe top. They need to they
could use money for teachers. Thatcan you know, to reward good teachers
but just everything starts up top.They've they've they've messed everything up. Students

(01:13:09):
are leaving and groves and they're tryingto figure out something to keep people from
from leaving in students. But boy, don't you don't you way don't you
think that logo will keep thousands ofkids from leaving and and bring others back.
I mean, that logo got todo it right. That logo is
just as confusing as as at leasttwo of the members. Let me tell

(01:13:33):
you something, what they paid forthat logo. That whoever designed that logo
should be kind of embarrassed and givetheir money back. For sure, thank
you, Nathan, appreciate the phonecall you if you don't know about it,
that'll be a topic coming up.Sure, I'm certain soon we got
time for two more callers if wego quick, Ray you're up. What's
the beef? It's a situation you'recrying, saman Peter Dunell won't support or

(01:13:58):
you're crying now pay forget And aboutthe agreement we had back in nineteen ninety
fourth on Bill Clinton when Ukraine greedygilt their nuclear weapons the Astates and Britain
and Russia or promiseuvial Mania secure andthen too. This is a situation once
again we're deserting enemy that we couldbe worked for us in Chalne of Washington,

(01:14:20):
everyone else in Washington's and that's alittle bit of money there. They're
dropping a bucket towards being spent andwashing well to be hit boy of these
Democrats trying to put money into bringingmore people in this country. Thank you
very much, Ray, I gotto move on. Times times running out
on me. Kim, you're thefinal caller. What's the beaf? My

(01:14:40):
beat is with these mobile Alabama personalinjury attorney ads that just you know,
take over the TV in the morningbecause you know, if you get hit

perform until they showed up wearing theirAmerican flag themed shirts. They were told
that they'd be booed and yelled at, but then they were told no,
you either change clothes or you leave. They left it up to the girls.
The girls voted to leave, andso the LGBTQ plus group was there

(01:17:42):
along with others. But because theorganizers of the event said that audience members,
a few audience members felt triggered andunsafe, and so the little girls
packed it up and left. Goodon them for leavin that's what you do.

(01:21:03):
to just kind of push away everythingelse and just share some good news.
Okay, do you have any goodnews for a kings so much? Just
spell it's time for some good news. It's true even I need a little
good news now and then. Wouldn'tit be lovely if we had just a
little bit of good news. Thisis not a typical good news story,

(01:21:30):
but it is one that will lightup my producer's heart and soul. He
doesn't know what's coming. On thecampaign trail. On Wednesday, former President
Donald Trump stopped by a Chick filA surrounded by a group of suit wearing

(01:21:58):
individuals. Former President flattered the crewmembers customers while having his picture taken and
asking if everyone was having a goodtime, which, of course is what
you ask had a Chick fil A? Is everybody having a good time?
Okay? You do it far betterthan I. I've not found the Trump
vibe, the voice. Yeah,I just I haven't practiced it enough.

(01:22:21):
But I don't know that I've gotit. I don't know that I've got
the ability on that one. Butthen there was another video. Trump asked
the staff for thirty milkshakes and somechicken before telling him that he was going
to take care of all the customersin the building, and he asked the

(01:22:48):
staff, so is this good?And he asked the staff members if they
were making a lot of money,they were gonna get rich, told the
staff he was gonna them out tothe customers, takes them out to his
entourage, and so he called ita great American franchise, and it's great

(01:23:12):
franchise. The owner's a great manwho's a member of one of my clubs.
Fantastic of course they are, ofcourse the originals, not with us
anymore. But he might not knowthat. I don't know. They do
it very well, and they're closedon Sunday. Videographer then says, it's
the large chicken. Trump says,it's the large chicken. You're right,

(01:23:35):
it's good chicken too. And sothe good news is this is classic old
school campaigning. Who doesn't walk awayfrom that interaction just like smiling. He
could have been surrounded by a handfulof Trump haters, although it's not likely.

(01:24:00):
At a Chick fil A there'll besome, but they're not Trump haters.
After that, my man dropped forsome shakes and some chicken, and
as your predecessor David Allen would say, the lord's chicken that's right, the
Lord's cheecken. Anyway, that's justthat's og stuff, right there, no

(01:24:21):
doubt about it. That's right,it's the Lord's chicken. We love that
it's closed on Sunday. We dogreat people, We make lots of money.
