Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Yeah. Friday on the Morning Showwith Preston's Good On Preston, He's grant
Allen the first today Proverbs three fiveand six. Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and do notlean on your own understanding in all your

(00:26):
ways. Acknowledge Him and he willmake your make straight your paths. Boy,
I want to go back to thebeginning of that, lean not on
your own understanding. Friends, heare living in uncharted waters except to God.

(00:54):
God knows what's gonna happen, andhe has a plan. So trust
in him. Don't rely on yourunderstanding on things. You bring God into
the picture, have him give youwisdom and discernment. It's gonna help and

(01:15):
make a difference. Trust me itwill. Ten minutes after the hour,
take a peek inside the American PatriotsAlmanac and more. Next Friday, April
twenty sixth, on The Morning Showwith Preston Scott. Good Morning Show with

(01:37):
Preston Scott Show fifty one forty sixof this radio program. Let's let's take
a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac, showing fifteen ninety eight, an expedition

(02:02):
led by Spanish explorer Juan Dia Nateereaches the rio ground. You could just
you could make so many little snarkyjokes right there. Sixteen oh seven English

(02:23):
columnists come ashore at Cape Henry,Virginia, en route to founding Jamestown.
Then we come to April twenty sixth, seventeen seventy seven. Sybil Luddington.
She made a not so famous ride. She mounted her horse on this date

(02:44):
in seventeen seventy seven and rode throughthe countryside to alert militia forces and spread
the alarm that the British were attackingDanbury, Connecticut. That's where the region's
munitions and supplies were stockpiled. Sherode more than twice the distance of Paul
Revere and was sixteen years old atthe time. History barely says a word

(03:06):
about sybyl But no, no,Here on the Morning Show we point out
the historic ride of Sybil Luddington,sixteen years old, a heroine of the
Revolutionary War seventeen seventy seven, rightin the heart of it all. Sixteen

(03:36):
crazy, absolutely crazy, and peopledon't know about it. But thankfully we
do thanks to a listener of thisprogram. Eighteen sixty five Federal troops around
and kill John Wilkes Booth, theassassin of Abraham Lincoln near Bowling Green,
Virginia. Now think about this.This was roughly two weeks after the assassination.

(04:02):
They found him. They found him, they wanted him alive. A
lot of controversy there. Nineteen sixtyone, the integrated circuit is patented by
Robert Noise. His friends looked athim and said, Noise, noiseely done.

(04:30):
And it was on this date innineteen ninety six that my dear daughter
Courtney was born. And so ahappy birthday to my daughter, Love you
very much and looking forward to celebratingyour day together later on. And so

(04:51):
there you have it, my friends, this date in history. Now,
this is a final reminder. TomorrowOperation Medicine Cabinet. It's a medicine collection
event. It will take place fromten until two in Tallahassee. So if
you're anywhere in the region and youhave unused, old dated prescriptions, turn

(05:16):
them in so they can properly bedisposed of. There is a way to
do it. A lot of peopletake that stuff and dissolve it in their
toilet and flush it. Some we'llthrow it down the sink. It's not
advisable. It's not necessarily real goodfor the water table, and even with
all the different processes, it's stillnot the best way to do it.

(05:36):
So the Costco on lannyap Way herein Tallahassee will be accepting them. They
do not accept sharps medical waste thermometers, but they will accept all prescription medications.
So that's again from ten am untiltwo tomorrow afternoon when we come back

(06:00):
Animal Stories an early edition get usstarted here on the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. In the wild or inour homes, We love them critters large
and small. Time for another editionof Animal Stories on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Residents in Newbery County, South Carolina, learn this is why

(06:25):
you listen to the Morning Show withPreston Scott. Even in South Carolina,
they were calling the Sheriff's department thisweek because of the loud noises sounds like
a siren, a whine, ora roar. Make it stop. It's

(06:48):
the cicadas. We've been warning aboutthe cicadas for quite some time now,
but people are calling the police inthe Sheriff's office. Deputies are telling residents
that yeah, the sounds can reachthe noise level of a lawnmower motorcycle.

(07:14):
But you know, we got twobroods that are emerging at the same time.
Nationally, Brood nineteen can be foundfrom southern Iowa to Georgia South Carolina.
Brewed thirteen will will emerge. Thenineteen's on a thirteen year cycle.

(07:36):
Brewed thirteen's on a seventeen year cycle, so they're coed incighting. It starts
in April and in the southern partof the United States, beginning in June
in the more northern areas. Sojust hey, notify anybody that you know
that there may be loud noises.It's the cicadas. But this is the

(08:03):
mother of all animals stories. Universityof Strasbourg in France conducted a study to
find out why the European hamster populationhas decreased. Get this. They originally
thought it might have something to dowith pesticides and plowing in the industrial plowing

(08:33):
of the area, but what theyfound was there's no evidence to support the
pesticides on crops and so forth.Entering into the feed of the hamsters is
the reason. Here's what this isgoing to be unbelievable. Now, hamsters
eat grains and insects roots. Butonce industrial farming took over, hamster started

(08:58):
eating corn. And they studied thedifference between corn, maize and wheat based
diets on hamsters. They found theyfound that there was a notable difference.
They plumped up. Oh no,oh no, no, no, not

(09:22):
on the corn. They turned intocannibals on corn. That's wild. They
they not just ate their young alive. They developed black tongues and began to
act like a bunch of maniacs.And what they found is that there's a

(09:43):
B three deficiency inside the corn andthat it affects the behavior of the hamsters,
and that when they added B threeto the corn diet, the hamsters
behaved normally when they just ate theregular corn as it was nuts nuts,

(10:05):
So wheat diets just fine corn only. And what's interesting about this is that
improperly cooked maize based diets have beenassociated with higher rates of homicide, suicide,
and cannibalism in people in humans,so disturbing, right, could explain

(10:28):
a lot. To be honest withyou, the picture they used on this
funest story, I mean, that'sthe cutest little hamster eating through a wall.
Is that what it is. It'sawesome. Yeah, they're cute little
guys, but they were eating theirown they returned it into a bunch of

(10:50):
hannibal lecters. Wow. So theyhave animal stories here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. All right,let me set the lineup for today.
Leeway the gun Rider joins us nexthour tons to talk about We've got Florida
Man coming up next hour. Inthe third hour, it's What's the Beef
Friday. We're gonna share our bestand worst. And by the way,

(11:11):
I have a new best. Ihad a best picked out, but it
got bumped out by activities yesterday thatwere shared with me. Well I don't
know if that if the event happened, but it was shared with me and
started go viral yesterday. So we'lldo that as well as headlines from the
b and more in the third hour, and of course your calls during What's

(11:31):
the Beef. But first the bigstories in the press box and they are
next here on the Morning Show withPreston Scott. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott on News Radio one hundredpoint seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio Double
UFLA, Panama City dot Com celebratingmy Green Bay Packers pick in the first

(11:58):
round of the draft, Jordan Morganin an offensive tackle that crazy numbers.
We needed some offensive line depth andso I'm very, very pleased with that
selection. He allowed two sacks infour hundred and fifty four pass blocking plays

(12:24):
last year. He's uh, he'sgot shorter arms, but he's a big
boy. Six' five, threehundred some odd paths runs a five to
second forty. It's just nuts.Anyway, six of the twelve first picks

(12:46):
in the draft were quarterbacks, andit wasn't the most outstanding quarterback class from
at least in my recent memory,right, Like Drake may third overall,
Like they what yeah, I mean, I mean, no doubt he had

(13:09):
a good career at North Carolina.Short, but there's no short career.
It's not like there was a yearwhere it's like, oh man, quarterback
heavy. I mean, there werea lot of quarterbacks, but it just
doesn't really blow you off the page. I don't think like a JJ McCarthy
really blows me, blows me outof the water. Even Caleb Williams,

(13:31):
I'm yeah, I'm real. Imean, I'm thrilled because he's a Chicago
Bear. I would have much Imean, I much prefer Chicago going with
Caleb Williamston staying with Justin Fields asa Green Bay Packer. Okay, Justin's
gonna have I think I think he'slanded in a really good spot for him.

(13:52):
I think, so you know,he's gonna be under study for a
year or two and then he's inTomlin's loyal Yeah, he's he's gonna He's
got a lot of tools. ButI'm just generally kind of low on this
quarterback class because I watched a lotof them in college, and I'm like,
Okay, yeah, they had goodcareers. Jaji McCarthy's championship when he
quarterback, right, I know allthese things. Yeah, it just it

(14:16):
doesn't feel like like when Andrew Luck. I'm just trying to figure out at
the Atlanta Falcons now for the agentof Kirk Cousins, who apparently is puzzled
by the selection of Michael Pennix brother. Your man's got one hundred million dollars
guaranteed, you're getting paid. MaybeAtlanta is learning a lesson from the Green

(14:37):
Bay Packers. They're gonna let Panicssit behind Kirk Cousins for a few years.
Don't be worried, don't be puzzled. It's all good. Your man's
guaranteed money. It doesn't matter whatthe Falcons do. Your boy's gonna get
paid anyway. Big Stories in thepress Box brought to you by Grove,
a creative marketing and digital expertise payingattention to the arguments Supreme Court case Trump

(15:03):
Trump arguing executive immunity. I'm gonnatell you here, I think Trump's gonna
lose this. I don't think hecan make the argument that he should have
basically absolute criminal immunity. I don'tFirst, it's not constitutionally spelled out,

(15:31):
It's long been debated. The questioning, even from Justice Thomas leaves, leaves
a lot of doubt that Trump's goingto prevail in this. I don't see
this as being the right play myself. To me it, I would much

(15:54):
rather argue what happened on January sixth, in my actions and how it was.
It's been totally misrepresented, then totry to make it seem like I'm
throwing a hail Mary on presidential immunity. I personally think Trump's wrong when he
says that if you don't have presidentialimmunity. You don't have a president.

(16:15):
I disagree with that. But USeconomy grew at just one point six percent
in the first quarter. It wassupposed to be two point five. The
economy is slowing down. Not justthat, but as I have referenced of
late, the report when it cameout, promised, as I told you

(16:38):
it would, that inflation is up. The first quarter of twenty twenty four,
it jumped up three point one percent. It was one point nine percent
in the last quarter of twenty twentythree. So it's accelerating again. Not
good. Not good when you combinethe fact that the the economy is shrinking

(17:00):
back, the growth is not growingas expected, it's below what's expected,
and inflation is higher than expected.First of all, it tells you these
analysts it's all wishful thinking. Thereality of the economy speaks for itself.
The math does not lie. Andthen here's here's another harbinger. Tesla's laying

(17:22):
off twenty six hundred and eighty eightjobs on June fourteenth. More jobs being
lost. And again we just yougo ahead and try to believe the government
numbers. But when you dig intothe raw, real numbers of everything that's

(17:42):
going on. Things stink and forone reason. Oh, Biden, there
you go. Forty minutes after thehour, come back with more here in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott withthe Morning Show Preston Scott. A little

(18:11):
backtrack here, I will say thisfor the Bears, you've got some receivers
between Keenan Allen coming over and yourtight end kid from Notre Dame. All
of a sudden, I've my mind'sgone blank anyway, and then DJ Moore

(18:34):
and then you Romaduze from Washington.Yeah, and then DeAndre Swift came from
the Eagles running back. Got someskill around him, we'll see. Speaking
of the NC double A, morethan four hundred current and former Olympic,

(18:56):
professional, and collegiate athletes signed aletter urging the NC two A to not
ban transgender athletes from women's sports.The letter states, oh, and separate
letters were sent by three hundred academicsand one hundred advocacy groups. First of
all, how sad that we haveone hundred plus advocacy groups believing in helping

(19:21):
people continue down the path of mentalillness. That's just that's sick to me.
But anyway, here's the letter todeny transgender athletes the fundamental right to
be who they are, to accessthe sport they love, and to receive
the proven mental and physical health benefitsport of sport goes against the very principles

(19:45):
of the NCAA's constitution. By barringtransgender athletes, you would be severely limiting
the capacity of your member institutions toprotect and support their athletes. Moreover,
you would be actively disparaging transgender athletes, the same athletes you chose to protect
when you agreed to serve on theBoard of governors. Honestly, there aren't

(20:10):
many issues that spell out the differencebetween just you've lost your mind and common
sense than this one. This reallythis, and it may be why intuitively,
I've just spent so much time onthis issue, because this just distills
the differences immediately. If I'm ifI'm talking to somebody that believes transgenders ought

(20:33):
to be compete again, ought tobe able to compete in the sport that's
opposite of their biology, I'm endingthat conversation there is nothing to talk about.
They're mentally ill. If you believethat that's that's appropriate, you're just
not You're just not right. Iwish I could be more charitable than that,
but you're not. You're not right, and I mean not right mentally.

(20:56):
You're obviously not right on the issue. Interesting to see A bunch of
the NCAAA women's basketball coaches were askedabout this whole transgender thing in the wake
of the comments made by the SouthCarolina coach Don Staley. Lisa Blueter Iowa
no comment. Corey Close UCLA formerlywith FSU, no comment. Krod Laws

(21:19):
and Duke no comment, Nikki ColinBaylor no comment. J R. Payne
Colorado no comment. Vick Schaeffer Texasno comment. Lindsay gottlieb USC no comment.
Kim Mulkey You LSU no comment,Gino Arima Yukon no comment, nil

(21:41):
Ivy Notre Dame no comment. TeraVan Derveer now retired, Kate Payne Stanford
no comment. Wes Moore North CarolinaState no comment, Terry Morin Indiana no
comment, Scott Rooke, Oregon Stateno comment, Lisa forty eight Gonzaga no
comment. They will not answer thequestion. This is pathetic. They're hoping,

(22:07):
These coaches are hoping the NCAA justdoes the right thing and gets them
out of this. That's why they'renot saying anything. They don't want to
be in the crosshairs. They donot want to be victims of the mean,
evil venom of the transgender movement.And while I could easily say I

(22:30):
don't blame him, nah, No, there's something bigger at work here.
Forty six minutes forty seven passed thehour in the Morning Show with Preston Scott
Preston Scott, My News Radio,one hundred point seven UFLA for your information.

(23:06):
A couple little, few little nuggetshere. I've got to pull my
calendar out the This is this isthe super secret booking calendar of the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. These arehighly guarded booking calendars for the radio program,

(23:45):
highly classified document. I've got itready. I'm gonna share something in
a moment. I thought it wouldbe good to know the aid package ninety
five billion dollars that we're borrowing fromChina to get. Just for a second,

(24:07):
I'm going to borrow fifty bucks fromGrant so I can give it to
somebody else. Wait a minute,wait, wait, wait, So I'm
going to take on a debt andwhen you think of it, in these
terms. It really speaks to howdumb we are. Right now, I'm

(24:33):
borrowing fifty bucks from Grant so Ican give it to this guy over here,
so I incur the debt, andwhat you think we're going to get
paid back by Ukraine? Ukraine?Ukraine feels like, hey, we've been

(25:00):
paying Joe. What do you meananyway? Florida Senators Rick Scott, Mark
or Rubio voted against it. Theyat least hung in there. The only
member of Florida's House Caucus, Florida'sHouse delegation that voted in favor of funding

(25:26):
Ukraine was Neil Donne. I've congratulatedhim on votes that I thought he did
a great job holding strong. I'mgoing to point out to you and let
you be aware that he was theonly member of Florida's congressional delegation in the
House that voted to fund Ukraine,the only one, Stott, I'd let

(25:51):
you know, at least of RepublicansFlorida taking the lead in DEI cracking down
on all the all that nonsense.It has resulted in schools ending their diversity
programs. That's good, But moreimportantly, it's leading the nation, not

(26:15):
just here in Florida, but nowTexas, Utah, Alabama, Tennessee,
North Dakota, South Dakota have allpassed legislation tackling DEI, not necessarily to
the same degree that we have,but it's steps in that direction. Several
other states have proposals, including Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska,

(26:40):
Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Maine. Virginia's on the
edge. They're close. So that'sa big win. That's it. That's
see, we lead free state ofFlorida. Awesome. And then lastly,

(27:03):
Richard wrote in asked us to explainhow the media has come to where it
is. We have an expert,Richard. This is for you, brother.
I think it's a great topic.So May the eighth, Wednesday,
May eighth, we will be tacklingthat topic with Rob Bluey, who is
the editor of the Daily Signal,which is the news outlet for the Heritage

(27:27):
Foundation. He'll offer us a historicalperspective and we'll kind of talk through how
it all happened. In that show. All right, we come back,
Lee Williams The Gun Writer joins usnext on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(28:00):
Let's do this second hour of theMorning Show with Prestin Scott's Show fifty
one forty six. He's Grant Allen. I'm Preston, Friday, April twenty
sixth. Great to be with you, friends, ruminators, wherever however you
listen to us. Thank you somuch for sharing time. We do our
very best to not let you downand deliver things to you that you need

(28:22):
to know, and we bring gueststhat we think are worthy of your time.
And so we segue to a visitthat we do monthly. He's kind
enough to carve out time for us. He is the gun Writer. If
you go to the website Thegunwriter dotsubstack dot com, you will find the
work of Lee Williams. Lee,good morning, Welcome, how are you,

(28:45):
Good morning, how are you doing? Thanks for the inviting As always,
Man, I appreciate so much thework you're doing to stay vigilant and
keep us vigilant as it relates toour Second Amendment rights. And Lee,
I gotta tell you what I thoughtwas, I don't know, how do
you find something encouraging in a casewhere someone lost their life, but all

(29:06):
of a sudden things at Arkansas havetaken a weird, almost dark turn.
Tell us the latest, Yeah,we reported. I think we wrote five
stories in total this month on theMarch nineteen killing of Brian Melanowski. He
was the airport executive director there inLittle Rock, and the first thing to

(29:26):
come out was a statement from hisfamily which said what everybody already knew.
He was defending himself. He didn'tknow he was shooting at federal agents.
And his attorney said something in thatstatement too that a lot of people have
missed. I don't like talking aboutwhat Brian was accused of doing by the
ATF because he's not here to defendhimself. But let's say for a minute

(29:48):
that he was guilty of everything ATFsaid. Of selling firearms without a federal
firearms license, he would have gottenprobation or probably some type type of diversion
program pre trial diversion. He neverwould have seen the inside of a prison,
brother, and that to me isdamning for that serious and finger quotes

(30:10):
of a crime. He was shotand killed right after that. April seventeenth,
the Attorney General of Arkansas, TimGriffin, demanded to see bodycam footage
from ATF. But then a weeklater the Senators Cotton and Boozman, a
couple of Republicans from Arkansas, butout of statement they'd talked to ATF.

(30:34):
And this is going to be difficultfor your listeners to believe. ATF agents
when they hit the home, noneof them were wearing body cams. There
is no bodycam footage. Policy saysthey're supposed to have them. Yeah,
yeah, absolutely, And that typeof encounter is exactly what body cams were
invented for. You're going to gointo a mant how and judge has given

(30:56):
you a warrant to violate his FourthAmendment rights. There's a possibility they were
going to use for us, andnone of them wore a bodycam. The
only video footage was from that raidwas from Brian's ring camera, which is
about two seconds long, right beforean HTF agent covers that camera with a
piece of tape. It's shocking,it's stunning. They went in there knowing

(31:21):
full well that they didn't have thatserious of a charge. If they hit
him with ten car loads of agentsand shot him in the head. He
died two days later. Then,once he had spoken out now the Arkansas
Attorney General Tim Griffin again his mum, he's suddenly mum. I sent him

(31:42):
fifteen questions man that I wanted answersfor his handler wouldn't allow him to be
interviewed. He said he wasn't availablefor an interview or a video conference interview
or an interview over the phone,which is odd because I never told his
handler when I wanted to interview.I guess he's just not available for me.

(32:06):
The most important question I sent himwas whether or not the Attorney General
there had been in contact with theUS Attorney and maybe try and work out
some type of moratorium on these deadlyEHTF raids until the questions could be answered
on the March nineteenth killing. Butno, he didn't respond to that.
Lee, stand by, We're goingto pick up right there because there's a
bunch of questions I've got for you. We talked about this case on the

(32:30):
program before with Lee. We've talkedabout it subsequent on the show. This
is a horrifying development, and what'shappened in the time since the shooting is
not making anything better. Ten minutesafter the hour, Lee Williams, the
gun rider on the Morning Show withPreston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston

(32:58):
Scott on News Radio one hun pointseven w f LA. We're trying to
make sense of it all. WebsiteThegunwriter dot substack dot com. The emails
are brilliant. You'll get them asarticles come out, which is usually once

(33:20):
or twice a week. And LeeWilliams, the Writer, is with us.
Lee the next steps from your perspectiveas a reporter, what are they?
I've got a story coming out probablyMonday on these ATF Special Response Teams
as they call them, and weare comparing them not to other federal law

(33:44):
enforcement agencies that have special response unitsand some military special response units. And
let me just say this. Youknow, if you want to be a
member of the Secret Service Counter AssaultTeam, that's a ten week course.
Their sniper courses even longer. WarTax the border patrols tactically in a bore
tach you know, the one thattook out that shooter down at Uvaldi and

(34:07):
the one that caught that flee thatguy who escaped from prison. Theirs is
a massively long training course. Andof course you've got Delta which is six
months long, Debrew which is sixmonths long, MARSK Marine Raiders nine month
program. How long do you thinkatf Special Response Team training is. Let
me ask you a question. Iwould say, I mean, you've set

(34:30):
me up here, and the waythis is going tells me it's less than
a month. Two weeks, bro, That's what I was going to guess.
Yep. Yeah, And they stillcall themselves operators when they're done.
They call themselves operators in their literaturethat describes these unit. Let me tell
you they're not operators. Operators useworse with surgical precision. These guys bootdoors

(34:52):
and shoot homeowners in the head.So we're taking a hard look at this
unit. It's leadership, it's selection, it's training weapons to get to get
it out there. This unit scaresme. Preston the fact that they're out
there and you know they target thisGod forbid A lobbying gun under sells a
firearm easy to get on their radar, is what I'm saying. And just

(35:15):
just to put some context to thisstory, the guy who's running this airport,
he's a he's he's just a hesells guns. How often? I
mean, what do we know abouthis gun selling? He's fifty three years
old, he makes two hundred andfifty thousd He made two hundred fifty thousand
dollars a year at the airport.He would go to gun shows and rent

(35:37):
tables and sell guns and coins.He was He's a massive coin collector too.
I one of his customers called meand told me that he had really
helped him out getting him some coins. So you see tables like this at
every gun show you go to.Now, have a couple of guns,
doesn't have an FFL, will sellthem. But you know the way ATF

(35:57):
made him sound in their search for'appiday it is he's supplying guns to ISIS
and l CATA. Not really thecase here, bro, and Arkansas law
gives a tremendous amount of freedom topeople selling guns. If I'm not mistaken,
No, you're correct, one hundredpercent. It's a private sale.
You can sell a gun. ButATF, of course wants to change the

(36:21):
definition of gun dealers right now.They've got more rules out there that just
were published on this confusing crap whetheror not you need an FFL. It
sounds like from some people who haveread it that if you sell a gun
for profit, you may you mayneed to get an FFL. Of course,
the Second Amendment Foundation for which Iwork and all other program groups are

(36:45):
going to sue the hell out ofATF and will win. It's just Biden
and the people that handle him flexingon gun owners again. Tell me this,
Do you suspect that or think thatthere's going to be a freedom of
information requests on your part to tryto get whether there was any correspondence between
the United States Department of Justice inany form and the Attorney General for Arkansas.

(37:10):
I never talk about what I'm gonnafoy you usually, but yes,
the problem with when you foy aATF. I just got a response the
other day from damn near three yearsago. So they take their time.
It's it's unfortunate they're not. They'rethe most opaque. They are non transparent
at all, the most opaque federallaw enforcement agency. And I'm getting sick

(37:34):
of you even calling them a lawenforcement agency, because federal law enforcement acies
don't behave like this at any Atsome point, you got to think that
some of these ATF agents have gotto say, guys, what we're doing
is wrong. Yeah, yeah,absolutely, I mean, if you're an
ATF agent right now, and you'rekicking down doors and going in with fully
automatic m fours made by Heckler andCox and shooting homeowners in the head who

(37:59):
have not committed any crimes, nocriminal record. You know, you better
take a look in the mirror decidewhether or not you're on the right team
here. Yeah. I mean,we're talking about a guy that had a
professional job that they could go seeanytime Monday through Friday, right right.
What I would have done, Andyou know, I've talked to so many
people, a lot of technical guys. You know, ring the doorbell,

(38:22):
wait till he comes down and answersit he sees everybody there in uniform,
or do a call out, callhim on a cell phone, come out
with your hands up, or turnall the emergency lights on him. They
had ten vehicles there, This entireneighborhood would have been bathed in red light.
He would have known it was thepolice. Instead they boot the door,
go in and shoot him. Wow, all right, we got another

(38:42):
case to talk about. I wantto get lead away in on that's next
here on the Morning Show with PrestonScott. One final segment with Lee Williams,
the gun Rider and again the websitethe Gunriter substack dot com. Lee,
I wanted to get your thoughts.We've talked about this story. It's

(39:07):
the story of a software engineer thatended up in a New York courtroom,
and his crime was legally obtaining partsto guns and making his own guns.
He wasn't I mean, he's neverbeen convicted of any crime. He's a

(39:27):
software engineer or something. And nowhe's sitting Dexter Taylor's sitting at Riker's waiting
a sentence. Yeah, Dexter Tayloris a martyr in my humble opinion.
He discovered the world of gunsmithing yearsago and he enjoyed doing it. And
he was purchasing parts and components legallyfrom various online companies. I know a

(39:47):
polymer eighty and eighty percent arms havesent me kits to put together. Brother,
It's a great time I enjoyed.I put together two glock clones,
had the time of my life.Took me a lot longer than it should
have, but it is fun.So However, a joint atf NYPD task
force discovered that he was buying theseparts illegally, may hit his home.

(40:09):
He's charged with pretty much everything criminalpossession of a loaded weapon, four counts
of third degree criminal possession of aweapon, five counts of criminal possession of
a firearm second degree, blah blahblah. So he gets convicted of all
this. Of course, he's sittingin rikers. He'll be sentenced next month.
He's looking at ten to eighteen yearsbecause his Second Amendment rights were violated.

(40:37):
Like, you can't believe the judgein this case actually said Judge Abina
Darkness said in an open courtroom,do not bring the Second Amendment into this
courtroom. It doesn't exist here,So you can't argue Second Amendment. This
is New York Appeal much. Imean, she's insane, She's clearly insane.

(40:59):
The Second Amend and it shouldn't.Your Second Amendment right shouldn't be dependent
upon your zip code. Illegal forhim there, not illegal for us here
in the free state of Florida.What's so striking to me is not just
the conduct of the judge and howshe handled every part of the defense,
from the opening statements to the concludingstatements, interruptions, rulings that were just

(41:21):
just ridiculous. But the Supreme Courtlee correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't
the Supreme Court just slap New Yorkin the face. Yeah, yeah,
absolutely. The Second Amendments Foundation isgoing to the Supreme Court. We have
been granted associary over Biden's and ATFFrame and Receiver rule, which basically is

(41:45):
their goat what Joe Biden likes tocall ghost guns, and he wants to
make them all illegal. Americans havebeen making firearms in their home legally since
before there was the United States ofAmerica. And we're going to pound the
hell out of ATF and the BidenHarris administration and because of this, because
of this nonsense. But what's insultingto me Lee is New York Rifle and

(42:08):
Pistol Association versus Bruin. They prevailedthe United States Supreme Court. Want,
I mean, they won. Howis this even happening? We're seeing in
all these Blue states what I callpost Brewin tantrum laws, where they're making
decisions and passing legislation knowing full wellit's unconstitutional and flies in the face of

(42:30):
the Supreme Court's Bruin decision, butthey do it anyway because they know we're
going to have to sue and we'regoing to have to spend our members' money.
Thank god, we have such goodmembers and Gun Owners of America and
NRA and National Associating, National Associationand Gun Rights are going to spend all
of their money. It's law there, man. They're trying to break us
financially, but we're going to keepdoing it. Good for you, Lee,

(42:53):
thank you as always for the time. I appreciate it very much,
and we'll visit again next month.Sounds great. Thanks for the invite.

(43:37):
minutes past the hour. This isthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Start
limbering up your voice and get ready. What's to be Friday in thirty minutes.

(43:59):
So whatever you want to get offyour chest, we're here for you
and we'll open up the phone linesin a little while. Some of you
might be thinking, do you doyou really just open up the phone lines.
Oh yeah, it's a massive breaker. Switch opens up the whole lot

(44:20):
of them. It's like that soundyou hear in Ghostbusters when they fire up
the ghost containment tank. It's theanyway that comes up in a little bit
Florida Man in a few minutes.But first, the big stories in the
press box brought to you by Grove, a creative marketing and digital expertise.

(44:44):
So Tesla's laying off almost twenty sevenhundred workers in June. Now there's two
things to that. Number One,look, Elon's doing what he's got to
do. And that's something everyone needsto understand. Business owners, business organizations

(45:07):
will do whatever they have to doto protect their margins. That's how it
works. As a result of regulatorypressures, in the case of Tesla,

(45:28):
as a result of a decline inpeople buying evs because the word is out,
the truth is out. You literallyhave to be living under a rock.
And I think here's what is unknownby all of us, how much

(45:51):
of an impact EV owners are toall of this and the people they talk
to. I don't hear a bunchof EV owners saying, oh, man,
you gotta do this, this isincredible. They might do it for
the first week of owning their vehicle, but then that first charge problem comes

(46:13):
when they're waiting and they're waiting,and they're waiting on the road, and
then while they're charging, they're waitingand they're waiting and they say, boy,
damn boy, this takes a lotlonger than I thought. And then
they try to make a trip andthey can't. They try to tow something
and they can't. It's cold weatherand it won't go. I mean,
the list goes on and on,and then the stories are going to start

(46:36):
creeping out by the end of thisdecade of what happens when they try to
sell or when they have to getnew batteries. Those stories haven't really hit
yet. We've had them from thefirst wave of evs, where for example,
with certain Forward products, they don'teven make the battery anymore. They

(46:58):
literally don't make the batteries, andyou need new batteries and they don't make
them. You don't have an option, and it's not like you can go
to Batteries Plus or the battery sourceor whatever. The store might be that
specializes in batteries and go pick oneup, because they're not worth it for

(47:19):
any of these other battery manufacturers toinvest in. It just isn't just saying
we're not even at the beginning ofthe pushback on this. This is gonna
be. This is gonna be fascinatingto watch stocks yesterday tanked before clawing their

(47:39):
way back to a small positive daywhen the first quarter GDP report came out
short version. The GDP is muchless than was expected, and inflation is
much greater than was expected, almostdouble oops oops. And President Trump seeking

(48:07):
immunity from the United States Supreme Court. I don't think he's going to get
it. I think it's a badargument. Look, I'm not I refuse
to be in the tank for anybodyabout anything. I've told you when I
think Trump is being prosecuted unfairly.I've told you when I think he makes
great policy decisions, or when hemakes bad policy decisions, and same thing

(48:30):
for anybody else out there. Ithink I'm very fair minded when it comes
to this stuff. I think hisargument's bad. I think it's a bad
case to argue from any lens whatsoever. And I think he's going to lose.
He's better off just argue the casebecause the truth of January sixth speaks

(48:51):
for itself forty and he would dovery well on appeal if convicted. Florida
Man next, but the Morning Show, Preston Scott, Oh yeah, come
on, everybody sing a little bit. Well, if you read something insane,

(49:13):
I probably did it. I'm findof food of the blocks. Going
ahead and google my name. Nowthat is some men to the sins I
have committed and we all feel abetter way. We have somebody whatever to
make. Yeah, two stories here. Dakota Jones. First of all,

(49:45):
how awesome is that name? Thatwould be the greatest name in the world
for a spin off to Indiana Joneshis great nephew Dakota Dakota Jones. Anyway,
Dakota Jones and Kira Enders a couplefrom the Funiac Springs. You always

(50:07):
love a story that starts with Accordingto the Escambia County Ship, they took
two pieces of a five hundred timesthe cash lottery ticket they're scratch off tickets
to create a single winning ticket.Each of the tickets were ripped horizontally,

(50:29):
then carefully pieced together to become onefraudulently altered ticket using the top half of
one actual ticket and the bottom halfof another actual ticket. And then they
made the call because the convenience storesscanned it and they said, it's just
not scanning like it's a winner.It's not scanning properly. So they reached

(50:52):
out to the Florida Lottery and setup a meeting with somebody, and they
were in fact meeting with a specialagent. The report is that they they
made up this incredibly deep story offinding the tickets, and they were it

(51:15):
was raining, and they got wet, and they tore and they they did
their best to piece it back together. And when someone uh with the lottery
informant said the backside doesn't match,Kira goes what foiled by not reading the

(51:36):
back of the writing on the onthe lottery tickets. So they have been
they've been arrested, facing multiple feloniesafter forging a one million dollar lottery scratch
off ticket. I mean, people, these these tickets have security protocols in
them that prevent this kind of thing. You're not going to tear two carts

(52:00):
and a half tape them together.But this is maybe my best This is
one of my This is just aFlorida man's story. Through and through Port
Orange neighbors talking about a guy wearingsunglasses at night firing off a gun.

(52:20):
So police were called classic move.At the moment that the police arrived,
a shot rang out. You seewhat I mean, said the neighbor.
Police followed the sound of the suspect, Brett McPeak, out in front of
his resident residents woman can be heardsaying that's him. I'm telling you.

(52:43):
Officers direct McPeek to show him hishands, stay where he is, quoting,
I'm cracking this beer, okay.Officer asked McPhee if he has any
firearms. He said no. Theofficer said of their firearms inside the house,
he said yes. Speaking over theradio, officer says McPeak has two

(53:05):
beers in his hand. This beeris cold, sir, I want to
drink it. Come check me,the officer declined. McPeak then says,
well, I'm gonna drink this beer. Is that cool? It sists he
did nothing wrong, complies with hisorders and arrested without incident. He is
he was not in possession, butthey did find two handguns, one with

(53:30):
a thirty eight Special where they spentshowcasing and yeah, so he's facing multiple
charges, but I mean, yougotta love a guy. I'm cracking this
beer, okay, that man waitingfor arrest. That man was not destined
to live in the suburbs. Hewas destined to live out where the green

(53:52):
grass grows. Florida man free.Yeah, yeah, that's where he needs
to be. There you go,That, my friends, is an epic
example of Florida man. Forty sevenminutes after the hour, we'll get you
ready for what's the beef next?The Morning Show with Preston Scott on US
Radio one hundred point seven double USLAor on Usradio doubfla patamaa sty dot com.

(54:24):
I'd play the audio, but it'sjust not good enough. I couldn't
clean it up enough to make itreally arable. But what did I tell
you about the likelihood that most ofthese people protesting on these college campuses had

(54:45):
any clue what they were protesting about, refresher, I said, they don't.
They don't have an idea. Theyprobably couldn't even point to where the
land in question is located on amap. They're showing up, And so

(55:10):
a guy shows up and interviews himand says, tell me about this protest.
Why are you here? We're protestingfor the Palestinians, Okay, and
why because we're supporting their cause?And that is I don't know. I

(55:31):
really I wish I was more educated. Person after person, no clue.
Trust me when I tell you thereare some protesters on these college campuses that

(55:54):
are in this country that why arethey here when they hate this country?
I don't know. You can,you can, You can probably take a
pretty good guess that they might notbe here to shall we say, blend
in with the culture, to bepart of the melting pot. In fact,

(56:15):
it's kind of interesting how the thewhole diversity movement blows up the entire
point of America to borrow the wholething melting pot. The idea, the

(56:39):
point of America was that people fromall these different kinds of places around the
world could come and be melted downand lose their individual identity in a large,
broad sense, not as a person, not with different skills and talents

(57:01):
and wants and wishes, but broadlyand then be melted together to take on
the identity of the whole i e. A common language. See, when
we took the pressure off of peopleto learn the language. It was the
beginning of this end This is wherewe ended up. We ended up with

(57:27):
a group of people that are herein this country that sort of kind of
almost hate us. And then youcan fairly question, are they here to
undermine us? Well, yeah,maybe kind of sort of a huh.
And so the whole point of diversityis to do away with the melting pot.
One of the ways you force themelting pot back into existence is you

(57:51):
require people to speak the language.You require people to assimilate, not just
for the broader, larger value useoriented implications, but because it helps them
financially with their life. They cantalk, they can communicate, It opens
the door to many more jobs.So these interviews are showing that a bunch

(58:15):
of the snowflakes have no idea whythey're there. They don't they have no
clue. They're totally clueless. It'sthe social thing to do. It's the
cause. It's the rallying for thecause. It's a lot like what BLM
was all about. They missed outon the sixties, so they're going to
just try to create another movement basedon racism. Blah blah blah blah,

(58:37):
blah. All right, it's what'sto be Friday. We've had what we've
had to say, Well, we'vewanted to say all week long. For
the most part, there's some thingswe didn't get to. So now it's
your turn. Eight five zero twozero five WFLA eight five zero two zero
five ninety three point fifty two.What do you want to complain about?

(58:59):
They are open. We have oneline open, and that line can be

(59:22):
yours. I'm not sure why wehave one line open, but we do
so take advantage. If you area first time or this is your day
fate has smiled upon you. Thereis space right now. That is your
chance. That line is your chanceto feel just a little bit better.

(59:46):
The thing that's been just driving youcrazy. Maybe it's the roundabout, Maybe
it's the potholes, maybe it's fillin the blank. That's why we do
this. It's what's the beef Friday. If it matters to you, it
matters to us. Complain about whateveryou want by calling eight five zero two
zero five WSLA eight five zero twozero five ninety three fifty two. There

(01:00:12):
is the phone number. We havetwo simple rules. Number one, do
not use profanity. We have provenfor twenty three years that you can do
a program like this and make itsafe most every time, I mean every
now and then, it safe forkids. As a result, we now

(01:00:32):
have kids that have grown up inthe backseat listening to this show and now
listen on their own. Think ofit as an investment in your child's future
to be listening to this program.So no profanity and don't make it personal.
If you have a bad experience ata business, tell us what happened.
You'll feel better, but leave thename of the business out of it.
We don't want to hurt just becausesomeone had a bad day. So

(01:00:54):
we go to the phone lines.George, good morning, Welcome, what's
the beef? Good morning? Firstbeef is with these ignorant twits protesting on
these campuses. Uh, this isnot a just a spreading. This is
well planned. The Care group issponsoring this. It's a terrorist organization.

(01:01:15):
Soros is funding this. Harvard andColombia each get over a billion dollars a
year from the federal government. Allthe all the Feds have to do is
stop all the funding and treat carein these groups is a terrorist organization and
it'll stop. But the thing thatit gets me is press. And think
about this. Just close your eyesand think about this. If these Jewish

(01:01:37):
students that are being protested against andscared and you know, and and and
going through this, we're black.What would the media and what would be
the the uh, the outlook fromWashington and from politicians be if the Jewish
students were black. Think about whatwould happen. What if the mask students

(01:02:00):
instead of instead of wearing masks pretendingthere's some some Palestinian supporters, they really
aren't. They don't know what they'retalking about. What if they were the
Klan wearing hoods and you're right,and it was black students being terrorized exactly,
you'd see such a three sixty thatit wouldn't even be funny. And
it needs to They need to bedealt with. They need to be kicked

(01:02:21):
out of school. And these theorganizations that sponsoring it is a terrorist organization.
They get funding from Mamas and theyget funding from SOURUS and like I
say, the FETs can go inand take away the funding from these schools.
All right, George, I gottaroll on, buddy, Thank you
very much. And by the way, we want them to do a one
eighty. They did a three sixty, they'd be right back where they were,

(01:02:44):
which, of course, would beentirely possible for the federal government.
Tim, you are up. What'sthe beef? Good morning. My beef
is I'm a traveler and stay inmottills at least four or five days a
week. Wow, And they willnot allow me to set the AC down

(01:03:04):
to a comfortable level. The mostthey can get out of a motel room
is probably about sixty seven degrees andyou put a thermometer in there and it
will be seventy two. And I'mtalking about paying good money. And this
is actually not high end motels,but I mean, and it's a change.

(01:03:30):
So you're Hilton, your IHG.They all do it, really,
and the motels. And so theclerk told me one time that if it
does not sense any movement from thatAC, it turns AC off and then
you wake up in a pool ofsweat. And that's my beat. Thank
you, Tim. I don't blameyou if that's happening to you. I've

(01:03:52):
never experienced that. But if they'reputting motion sensors in a hotel room where
you're going to be sleeping soundly,that's stupid. Wow. All right,
we've got two lines open now oneeight five zero two zero five WFLA JR.
Gerald, you are next. It'swhat's the b Friday? Here in

(01:04:15):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.And this is the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. Eleven minutes after the hour, Good neb you with us here on
the Morning Show. Back to thephone lines, we go to Jr.

(01:04:40):
Who has been patiently waiting. Goodmorning, sir, welcome, what's the
beef? Good morning Sunday. Iwent into my local coffee shop to get
a cup of coffee. And thepeople they have always been friendly and welcoming
and so forth. And I wentto my coffee and laid my money on
the counter to pay for it.And the young man behind the counter said

(01:05:01):
asked me if I'd put the moneydirectly into his hand, otherwise he would
feel offended and disrespected. Now thisis a second time this has happened to
mantels that I said, well upon them. Not gonna be the days
like that. And I took mymoney and left. And I just think
the next thing they'll be asking youto roll over and play dead, or

(01:05:21):
sit up and bank or something I'venever had an incident where I mean,
I've never been in a situation whereI told people that I would feel disrespected
if they didn't put their payment directlyinto my hand. I'll take you were
who's looking to be offended. Waita minute, Wait a minute, you
were actually told to put money intosomebody's hand or they would feel offended?

(01:05:44):
Absolutely? Oh my goodness, Andthis is the second time that has happened
to Mantela asked me, So I'mthinking this is this little spreading thing.
How old was the worker? Oh, they were probably he was probably twenty.
I would yes, I don't wow. Same establishment. Did it happened

(01:06:04):
at the same place? No,different establishment, different places. I actually
call the supervisor the next morning todiscuss this, and she said, well,
let me let me look into itand get I'll, you know,
call me back at the same timetomorrow and we'll talk about it. Well.
I called back the same time thetime that she told me, and

(01:06:25):
uh, and nobody answered. AndI called twice and nobody answered itself,
Like, I have my answer,but I would just urge people not to
cave into this. And you know, I have my answer. And the
donuts and coffee are not that goodas far as I'm conseruing. So it's
this I'd hate to see the spreadthough. Thank you, Jay. I

(01:06:45):
appreciate the phone call. Wow.Let's go to Gerald. Gerald, you're
up. What's the beats? Hi? Good morning. I want you to
know that I concur with everything thateverybody said. The problem with these snowflakes
improper toilet training, that's the problem. So everything that they have no idea
what they're doing. Is that yourbeef? Yeah, for the most part,

(01:07:12):
gotcha, Gerald, Thanks very much. I appreciate it. Let's go
to John. Hi, John,you're up. What's the beef? Yeah.
I always love to watch the NFLDraft on TV, and the main
reason I like to watch it isthe city's outlandish, hideous threats the brothers
little when they walk up on thestage. But last night think it seemed
rather subdued as compared to the lastfew years. What's going on with that?

(01:07:39):
Well, I can't tell you becauseI didn't watch any of it last
night. I was already in bedbecause it started at eight o'clock and my
bedtime at the latest of seven pointthirty. Unless something unusual is going on
and I feel compelled that I've gotto stay up a little longer. So
I don't know, Grant, didyou watch any of it last night?
Caught in not a second? Yeah, I don't. I don't know,

(01:08:00):
John, I do know what you'retalking about. I did see some of
the prelims where they were just showingshots of the guys in the you know,
kind of the waiting area adjacent tothe stage that that were predicted to
be first round picks, and uh, and yeah, you're right, it
seemed a little subdued. It's,you know, hey, it's their night

(01:08:23):
whatever. I mean, I guessit's sort of like a very high end
prom because you're getting paid some bigtime money if you're walking out on that
stage on the first night. Butbut yeah, thanks very much, Pedro,
thanks for calling in. What's thebeef, Brning Preston, That was
quick. Yeah. So my beefis with the riots, like you have

(01:08:43):
mentioned before. And remember I rememberhow I will do all they called Trump
a fascist and all these Nazi namesand slogans that they would use against Trump,
and and look how the tight turns. I mean it, it's like
always the the left, it's alwaysprotecting anything that they accused you of.

(01:09:05):
Is either they're doing it at themoment or they're planning it or doing it
in six months from now. You'llsee that that's what they've been doing all
alone. So yeah, for anyJewish listeners out there, they're coming for
you. That we told you so. Who are the real fascists there?
It is? Thank you very much, Pedro, appreciate it. We got

(01:09:28):
lines open. One segment of therapyto go, but the lines are wide
open. Eight five zero two zerofive to b FLA. You can call
now eight five zero two zero fiveninety three fifty two. All right,

(01:09:58):
we've lost our college here, socall again if you were on hold.
We're not sure if the line's justdropped or what happened, but let's give
it a try. Strange things happen. I will grant you that it is.
What's the be Friday here in theMorning Show with Preston Scott, and
we do have wide open lines.Let me just see something here. Yeah,

(01:10:23):
that one's working. Okay, somaybe we inadvertently dropped them, don't
know, but call in please eightfive zero two zero five to b FLA.
But make it quick because we willrun out of time real fast.
Hey, I'm getting some a little. I got a note from a listener,

(01:10:45):
always a deep thinker, taking alittle issue with my conversation with Lee
Williams, believing that we are misrepresentingthe stories that we talked about. I
completely disagree. If you really listento what we had to say, I
completely disagree. Now if you onlyhear half of what we say, if
you're not fully engaged in what we'retalking about, which happens routinely. I

(01:11:09):
mean, it does happen. Peopledo different things. But I would caution
you this is maybe a beef ofmine. I would caution you to write
an accusatory note without being sure ofwhat was said or not said. The
accusation was we only told whole halfof a story, not the whole story,

(01:11:29):
and that the two people that werevictims in this we're guilty of And
well, I would say that youhave no idea that they're guilty of anything,
because the one never got a daycourt, he got shot and killed.
The other was not allowed to presenta fair defense. So I completely
disagree. But you're always welcome torite Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. That

(01:11:54):
is Preston at iHeartRadio dot com.Let's go to the phone lines. Hello,
Nathan, thanks for calling in.What's the beef? Good morning,
a weather beef. Yeah, notthat big a news, but when you
watch the news and they talk aboutthe flooding and they have a twenty year
old person on the news. Now, oh, I've never seen the water
here before. Well, the waterwas on West Tennessee Street, just like
it was in the nineties, andit was the same floodwater we had a

(01:12:15):
while back. So all the holdingponds they've been holding and making over here
on the Temple Circle, we stillhave the same floods. They're not working.
Yeah, well the same water.So whatever the holding ponds are holding
there is good for the holding pond, but it's not stopping the flooding,
right. Yeah. It can onlyabsorb so much so fast. You can

(01:12:36):
only mitigate so much. Nathan,Thanks very much. I appreciate the phone
call. Let's go to Tracy.Hi, Tracy, you're up. What's
the beef? Hi? I waslistening and I heard the man talk about
how the young man demanded him toput the money in his hand. Yeah,
and I was thinking of when thathappened to me. And the woman

(01:12:56):
was an older woman, and sheexplained to me that that was a part
of something that was going on rightafter the Civil Rights movement, when you
had African Americans working in stores thathave previously been only why and the people
would come in and they would refuseto put the money in their hands.
And so maybe in this highly chargedculture that bran now being easily offended and
just having the pandemic and people nottouching each other anymore. Maybe the young

(01:13:20):
man heard that story from his motheror grandmother or read about it and decided
to take event. You know.And you know what, it's interesting because
you use a term I've always talkedabout a lot. We choose to be
offended, don't we? We doyou have to take it? Yeah?
You know what I mean. Ithink that we look for offence sometimes.

(01:13:42):
Hey, Tracy, thanks very muchfor sharing that. I appreciate the perspective,
and that may be the answer automatically. Obviously, I didn't ask about
the ethnicity of the person. Youknow. I'm I lived my life without
paying attention to such things. Butsadly I'm kind of one a few this
day and age of racially charged civilsociety. John, you're up, what's

(01:14:04):
the beef? I hate to jumpon the vandwagon. But I'm also one
of those that went into the storeover there on Blairstone Road. And if
you don't put the money right inhis hand, he won't. He says
the same thing. You're dis respectingme. I just can't. I can't

(01:14:27):
believe it. I just I wasn'teven I was going to put the money
in his hand till he said that. I just took my money and limped.
Yeah, I suppose that would bea phone call that I would make.
And that's just nonsense. If youwant to put the money in their
hand, do it. If they'redemanding it, I won't either, right,
you know. Really, all Idid was I laid it down and

(01:14:47):
I was continuing to count my money, right, And then he started telling
me that as I was counting mymoney, I just looked at him,
took my money, walked out,John, Thanks very much. I appreciate
the phone call. Yeah, boy, seems like it's a thing. It's
too bad. Final call here isAnthony? Anthony? You are up,

(01:15:08):
brother? What's the beef? Theright needs to start acting like the left?
No, yes, y, justdo things, you know, get
in power and just do things andwait till the court says no, you
can't do that, then continue doingin anyway. I mean, look,
it's a lone thing. Oh Ican't do this, but oh look I

(01:15:30):
snuck it in. Oh I'm gonnado it again. I've been told not
to, but I'm going to keepdoing it. I said, we act
like them. At some point,either they stop or we get our way.
You know. It's so what's sointeresting about your comment. There's a
ton of people that agree with you, and on a certain level, I
do too. But I hate myselffor doing it because I just believe there's

(01:15:57):
a I believe I will stand accountbefore God for my choices, and so
will they. But I hear you. You can't be the one who only
follows the rules when the rules arebeing changed and broken by the other team,
because you will never win. FairEnough, Anthony, you have the
last word? Is that gonna makeit as the best and worst of the

(01:16:21):

Schools, Mark McQueen. Mark usedto be the city manager for Panama City.

All right, So best and worstof the week. Last week you

(01:18:18):
gripped and you forgot your best.Yeah. I mean, I've got so
many things running through my head.You're like me, only you're half not
even half my age. You're introuble, by the way, why when
you get to my age? Ohyeah, I'm gonna remember nothing by the

(01:18:38):
time I hit middle age. Whatever. That looks like, All right,
what's your worst and best or bestand worst? I saw the worst of
the week's story broke last night thatthings are not looking good for King Charles,
like his health is really taking aturn, and that reportedly the crown
is starting to plan make funeral decisions. No, yeah, yeah, New

(01:18:58):
York Post was reported it, andyeah has he even has he even been
king for like like a year toa year? Two years? Like,
is he gonna be the shortest reigningmonarch ever? No? Probably not,
but there's got to be someone thatwas way shorter, right, But at
least they get taken out. Yeah, someone asked some guy back in the
ninth century, right, Yeah,but man, that just a back to

(01:19:20):
back. You know. I hopehe does well and I hope it's not
true. But man, that wouldbe crazy. Uh. I waited all
that time? What's that all thattime for dear old mom? Right right?
I know? Wild best of theweek. I loved Anthony's beef.
I gotta say that, I'm afeeling you were smiling in there. I

(01:19:43):
was white pill, white pill forme personally. But do you think that
really is a strategy? Yeah,I think it can be violate the law
to no, it's I mean,how do you answer that it's not a
You use the Chris Rufo effect.Chris Rufo a disant, disappointed guy at
the New College of Florida, whereyou just say we're turning it into Hillsdale,
like get out of here, likewe're doing this, and so you

(01:20:06):
just get your friends in power,and then you start to slowly transform institution
by institution. So that's that's theapproach that I think is a winning strategy.
Okay, fair enough, my worstof the week. This headline climate
change has bigger impact on LGBTQ pluscouples and straight couples. I can't say

(01:20:32):
anything more than that, no words. That's the worst of the week.
My best. Florida State University turnedon the sprinklers to prevent anti Semitic protests.
And what did they do. Theyput tents where they were told not
to. They probably needed a baththough. Hold on, brother, because
it's on my It's on my Twitterpage this moment. It's there. It's

(01:20:53):
waiting for you. My man tookownership of it. Alpha Male Supreme was
having none of it. They tooka chair and put it over top the
sprinklers to keep them from hosing themdown. This dude grabs the chair and
flings it into the bushes and heowns it. He owns it. He
says it was me. It hasno place on our campus. Go knowles.

(01:21:16):
So that was my best of theweek. Someone put low it.
I thought it was you. Soapasse. And this is the Preston Scott Show.

(01:21:47):
My man in the program Pam OlsonNational Day of Prayers coming up,
we'll talk about that. Tiffany Justice, co founder Moms for Liberty, I'm
gonna join us. They have senta letter to Florida Governor around to and
we will talk about the contents ofthat letter and the importance of you being
aware of it, and so isthat is coming up Monday on the program,

(01:22:14):
and of course, you know whatevernews is going on as well.
But first it's that time, kay, Do you have any good news for
a kings so much? Just spellit's time for some good news. It's
true, even I need a littlegood news now and then wouldn't it be
lovely if we had just a littlebit of good news? Came across this

(01:22:38):
article and it says, are youthe type to lie in bed at night
dwelling on conversations from the day.Perhaps we're living an awkward moment at a
dinner party, wondering if you saidthe right thing during a zoom call with
a colleague. It's a common practice, and unfortunately it can lead to a

(01:23:00):
conclusion that people don't like us asmuch as we hope that they do.
Well. There's been some robust researchhere published in the Harvard Business Review.
Studies done a series of studies donein the UK and the US, during

(01:23:21):
which participants spoke with people they hadnever met before. After their conversations,
they were asked to report back onhow much they liked the person they talked
with and how much they thought theperson liked them. Here's where it gets
interesting. Time and time again,people found that they left their conversations with

(01:23:49):
negatively biased feelings about the impression.They made comments like I'm pretty sure they
I like them more than they likedme. People systematically underestimate how much their
conversation partners like them and enjoy theircompany. It is called liking gap,

(01:24:12):
and the researchers noted that it isan inaccurate perception. It's not limited to
people we've just met. Inside thestudy, they say the liking gap can
linger and permeate a variety of relationships, including interactions with co workers, persisting
long after the initial conversations have takenplace. They said the gap can still
exist for colleagues that have been workingtogether for months, if not longer.

(01:24:35):
Aside from the obvious issue of makingus feel down on ourselves, the negative
assumptions can have real consequences. Havinga larger liking gap is associated with people
being less willing to ask coworkers forhelp, collaborate on projects, or request
or offer honest feedback. But thereare ways to improve things. One of

(01:25:00):
the things researchers suggest is when you'rein a conversation, don't worry about what
you're going to say, focus onwhat the other person is saying, instead
of dissecting what you just said orwhat you might need to say next.
And I've seen it happen in conversationswhere people aren't really engaged in the conversation.
They're worried about it, and sothey're thinking about what they're going to

(01:25:23):
say next that might be clever orwitty or whatever. Just be a good
listener and be a good conversationalist bybeing a good listener. And here's the
bottom line, as Emily Lttella usedto say, not Emily Lettella, but
Stuart Smally sorry on Saturday Night Live. You're good enough, you're smart enough,
and most people like you. Andthat's good news. Forty seven minutes

(01:25:47):
after the hour, dad joke headlinesfrom the b next highly anticipated end of
the broadcast week, probably probably fora variety of reasons for many different people.

(01:26:12):
For us, it's the pinnacle,for others it's the merciful end.
But for all we say thank youfor listening, no matter what your reasons.
We appreciate it. See, evenif you disagree with my opinions on
certain issues, you just have toadmit that by the end of the week,
we've covered so many stories that youdidn't know one thing about that you

(01:26:34):
are better informed, even if you'reangry about it. Time for a dad
joke. What did the daddy tomatoessay to the baby Tomato? I don't
know what catch up? Dang,I should have known. That was like
