Episode Transcript

(00:13):
Peppers, Picking Peppers, you're readingPickers. Some we sells, Seashells by
the Sea Shore and the Seashells soundseven. All right, good morning,
Welcome, it's five minutes past thehour. Sorry, you just caught the
end of the warm ups. Itis the Morning Show with Preston Scott and
off we go Tuesday, May fourteenth. It's it's wet out there. But

(00:35):
what a shocking thing. It's raining. Yeah, it's it's raining. Schools
are closed in a lot of thearea. Not sure what May County decided
to do. I don't think theyhave had quite the same set of issues

(00:57):
as have befallen this region. Wewill endeavor to find out because you have
a little more time there in BayCounty, it's it's an hour earlier,
so you can you can hit thesnooze button. And yeah, but Leon
County, I think Jefferson will Colorgasn't closed for the day. Yeah,

(01:19):
they just they're not going to dealwith trying to get buses out. Roads
are flooding. We do have morerainfall and and so that that's that's the
forecast. It's wet. Thankfully,a real severe line of storms that was
expected yesterday afternoon didn't really materialize.Had some local heavy rain, but that's

(01:44):
about it. But still a lotof places still without power, still difficult
to get around, all areas noteverybody can get to and from. So
they just they were smart. Theyjust said, yeah, never mind,
Look it's the end of the schoolyear anyway, right, I mean,
it was, dude, what kidsare doing any school work? I remember,

(02:05):
I remember those days. Final monthof school was just kind of like
because teachers really worked hard to makesure they had a little extra time at
the end of the year, andso they pushed. So when I was
in school, the final few weekswere really throwaways, complete throwaways. But

(02:27):
anyway, our verse today someone thirtynine. It is to me one of
the most encouraging, thoughtful, thoughtprovoking of the psalms. And that's that's
admittedly that's that's pretty high praise there. But this is the Psalmist writing to

(02:52):
God stating, for you formed myinward parts, you knitted me together in
my mother's womb. I praise youfor I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works. My soulknows it very well. I remember doing

(03:19):
a message about psalmone thirty nine,and the uniqueness that each one of us
represents in God's creation. Even withtwins there are distinctive differences. It's just

(03:47):
it's a reminder that you are fearfullyand wonderfully made. And I think one
of the most important voices that wehave to defeat is our own. Was

(04:08):
listening to a story about Nancy Lopez, the Great Hall of Fame golfer.
She was in the Hall of Fameof Women's golf thirteen to fifteen years before
she stopped playing professionally. That's howgood she was. She won so many
tournaments, so many majors, soquickly in her career. She was putt

(04:28):
in the Hall of Fame and thenplayed for another thirteen fifteen years. And
she talked about how she played withjoy, even when she played poorly.
She played with joy. Golf maybeas much as any sport, if not

(04:53):
more so than any sport, isabout what's between the left and the right
ear. Yet now you know,hand eye coordination like all sports, matters,
But the ability to defeat the voicesof doubt of defeat, and that
really is kind of the challenge inlife, isn't it. So many are
derailed by their own voice. Andso this verse, I think is a

(05:15):
great reminder to you. You're fearfullyand wonderfully made. God has a plan
and a purpose for your life.Press into that ten minutes past the hour,
they could beak inside the American PatriotsAlmanac. Next, we'll tell you
about the show, and it isthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston

(05:42):
Scott, I got bad though oneNews Radio one hundred point seven double UFLA.

(06:06):
All right, let's first get tothe date. May fourteenth, eighteen
oh five. Lewis and Clark expeditions, pushing up the Missouri River squall hit
the sale of one of their boats, swamped it. Captains Meriwether Lewis and

(06:27):
William Clark Ashore at the time,looked on in horror, quoting our papers,
instruments, books, medicine a greatpart of our merchandise, and ensured
almost every article indispensable, indispensably necessaryto ensure the success of our enterprise.
While it all threatened to float away, well, the men struggled to get

(06:47):
the boat to land. The expedition'sonly female member quickly calmly plucked the supplies
from the icy river, quoting theIndian woman, to whom I ascribe equal
four mortitude and resolution with any personon board at the time of the accident,
caught and preserved most of the lightarticles which were washed overboard. So

(07:10):
what Lewis wrote in his journal sixdays later, the grateful captains named a
handsome river of about fifty yards inwidth in Montana after Seca Jawea, the
young Shoshone woman, her name meansbird woman, the wife of a French
trader hired by Lewis and Clark asan interpreter. Strapping her baby's son on

(07:31):
her back, she treked west withthe explorers on their famous Voyage of Discovery
to the Pacific. Along the way, she helped communicate with some of the
Indians they encountered, and the Rockies. The core of Discovery met a band
of Shoshone whose chief turned out tobe Saka Juwea's brother. She helped persuade
them to provide horses needed to crossthe mountains. In two thousand, the

(07:58):
US Mint began issuing dollar coins inthe image of the young explorer carrying her
son, Jean Baptiste. What acool part of history, Just a fascinating

(08:18):
intersection of cultures. Seventeen eighty seven. Delegates begin gathering in Philadelphia for the
Constitutional Convention again seventeen eighty seven.Eighteen ninety seven, in Philadelphia, John
Phillipsus's March the Stars and Stripes Foreveris performed for the first time. Boy,
I wonder what that was like tohear that. I bet that was

(08:39):
incredible. That is such a robustcomposition. Nineteen oh four, first Olympic
Games held in the United States openin Saint Louis. Never would have thought
Saint Louis ever. Seventy three,Skylab launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

(09:03):
The first US space station, Ithink technically kind of only I don't think
we've really had maybe we did beforethe International Space Station kind of took over
the landscape of all of that.All right, Today on the program,
a lot of different content coming nexthour. Got a manly minute. Then

(09:24):
in the third hour, Justin Haskinssaid to join us. Very excited to
visit with Justin. I'm going totalk about that polling and the reaction,
the interview with Tucker Carlson, aswell as his thoughts on what's going on
on campus and more. Howard Heismanwith money talk and more tomorrow already have

(09:45):
a great show. US Senator RickScott personal defense say, I mean just
dropping dimes. Man, that's what'shappening around here, all right, come
back sixteen minutes past the hour,see if I can quit bouncing my hands
on the console. Bay County Schoolsnormal doing their thing. Yeah, this

(10:13):
is this is a tree lined community. And the difference when a storm comes
through here like a tornado, it'sjust so unpredictable. You don't know what's
going to happen. Anyway. Ifeel like I feel like this community was
actually fortunate in terms of fatalities andinjuries. Stuff can be replaced. Yeah,

(10:39):
it's going to be a pain inthe rear. But hang in there,
folks, Hang in there. Twentytwo past the hour here on the
Morning show. If you are justwaking up and you did not know,
Leon County Schools, Jefferson County,Gadsden will call it all closed today.
The school are closed, all right, So just keep that in mind.

(11:03):
The kiddos aren't lying to you whenthey say they said we didn't have to
come to school today. They're they'retelling you the truth. All right,
Did you ever go to Coney Islandtheme Park in Ohio. No, I

(11:26):
don't think so. I didn't knowthere was a Coney Island in Ohio.
No. I've only ever known aboutthe one in New York right where you
could find the original Nathan's Hot Dogstand. And it's a thing of beauty.
I just want you to know thatit's it's it's incredible. Apparently Coney
Island, it was was important worda water park in Cincinnati or in the

(11:56):
Burbs. A guy named Adam Altermanworked there for five seasons and he heard
that they were shutting down the parkpermanently in December twenty twenty three. All
of the slides, pools, rideswould be demolished. He went on Facebook

(12:20):
and he saw that the the businesswas selling all of the slides and all
the pool equipment. I thought,why not. My man, Adam,
who once worked at the park,bought the Silver Bullet, which is a

(12:41):
water slide built in nineteen forty five. I don't know what he bought it
for, but he bought it.He said, I love the history of
it, just the Cincinnati history ingeneral. Just thought it would be cool
piece to own. He had itprofessionally moved whatever that means, I guess

(13:01):
disassembled and transported to a secret locationwhere he took some photographs, shared it
on social media. He said,I've had a lot of interest from different
parties across Cincinnati trying to purchase itfrom me, but right now I'm not
really wanting to sell it. Iwould love to see it in use again,
but no immediate plans. Now mymind immediately went to Okay, cool

(13:28):
saving, preserving, I'm down withthat. I watched this show with on
Magnolia Network with my sweet wife,and it's a spin off of Fixer Upper
with Chip and Joanna Gaines, andit's their former carpenter who builds furniture,

(13:56):
Clint Harp and I think it's calledDestination Road or something like that, and
he goes across the country with peoplethat are disassembling old barns and they're repurposing
them for homes or to be partof a village like this one that was
disassembled in New York was brought backtogether in Waco, Texas as part of

(14:22):
a village where people can go andlearn how to forge a knife, do
stained glass, do leather work,work with primitive fabrics, making the fabrics
the yarn and all of that fromscratch, I mean, all this stuff,
and so it was this preserving ofan older time, and so I

(14:45):
get the idea. I'm just thinkingto myself, what would you need to
have to resurrect a water slide thatwas a main part of a theme park.
I can't even imagine the amount ofinfrastructure, plumbing. I mean,

(15:07):
it's not like you put it inyour backyard unless you've got some ridiculous piece
of property. Anyway, it'll beinteresting to see if this pops up down
the road, the Silver Bullet waterSlide from Coney Island to Ohio in Cincinnati

(15:28):
twenty seven minutes after the hour,big stories in the press box are standing
by. Don't you leave us?The morning show at Preston Scott on News
radio one hundred point seven WFLA.All right, Donald Trump gonna be on

(15:56):
Clay and Buck today one o'clock easternnoontime Central. So, uh yeah,
be a good visit. Used tocome on our show. Real interviews happened
here anyway. Yeah, do youthink he had to be referred to as

(16:25):
former? I know it's it's petty, I know, I know, I
admit it. It is. Ijustid I struggle with the former. I
it's like I can't call Joe Bidena president, He's a resident. We
also makes you feeling better. Everypresident, either in or out of office,

(16:48):
retains the title president. So likeeven when they're long past retired,
George Bush is still mister president.Brock mister President, Jimmy Carter mister President
exactly. So I'm going to beninety five years old and They're going to
be saying, mister host, BigStories of the press box anyway. That's

(17:11):
that's coming up at one o'clock eastern. Donald Trump on Clay and Buck right
here on these stations. Big Storiesin the press Box, brought to you
by Grove of Creative Marketing. Thatwas so aggressive, Thank you and digital
expertise. I'm just yeah, fullradio. There. Polling from the Florida

(17:32):
Chamber usually very accurate. Polling theChamber is usually the most accurate reflection of
what the real state of whatever's beingasked. Their polling has long been to
me the bellweather of all polling insideof Florida. I can't speak to anything

(17:53):
else but there, and and itsays that the abortion initial it has sixty
one percent support, which puts itover the number. Saint Paul found that
recreational usage of marijuana is falling shortright now, not by much. But

(18:15):
I just want to remind you amendmentto limit government interference with abortion limit First,
that's not right. Secondly, theamendment itself is wholly inadequate because it
defines nothing. This is This goesdown as one of the most egregious wrong

(18:41):
rulings in Florida State Supreme Court historythat I'm aware of. Maybe there was
something that happened back and who knowswhen, but since I've moved to Florida
in nineteen eighty seven, this isthe most egregious decision by the justices,
and it's amazing that it came fromthe four men. The three women correctly

(19:07):
point out this is a joke.It's going to be litigated to no end.
Even the fellows are admitting that,I beg of you people talk this
up. The campaign to defeat thisis going to happen with you talking about
it in places that might make youuncomfortable. And what you do is you

(19:33):
take the approach that I'm spending waytoo much time on this. You take
the approach that Justin Haskins did withthe polling on voter fraud. He didn't
say, did you commit voter fraud? He said, did you do this?

(19:53):
Well, yeah, I did,not pointing out that, Oh,
by the way, that's voter fraud. Did you do that? Yeah?
Did that? That's voter fraud too. He didn't approach it as in,
did you commit voter fraud? Hesaid did you do these things? And
in the same way you approach theabortion amendment the same way. How do
you feel about abortions in the finaltrimester? Most people would go, no,

(20:18):
that's that's wrong. What would doyou think it's right that that even
after a baby's delivered, healthy andoutside the wound, that it could be
it could be terminated and killed.Well, no, that's ghastly. Will
you point out that's what this amendmentallows? The word viability, OMG,

(20:44):
women's health? What does that mean? Are we truly talking life and death?
Are we talking about the mental health, the emotional health? The list
goes on and on. Friends,you've got to be educated on this and
talk about it's the only way it'sgoing to be defeated. Back with more
big stories. This is the MorningShow with Preston Scott's other big stories in

(21:34):
the press box. Green Bay,my beloved city of Green Bay. This
is a wonderful illustration of how voterfraud happens with the consent of those who
are entrusted with being responsible. Cityclerk in Green Bay is Celestine Jeffries.

(21:59):
Now, it's important note Green Bayis uber progressive in its elected officials.
I mean left of left, andit sickens me, it breaks my heart.

(22:21):
That said in response to a complaintfiled by the Public Interest Legal Foundation
on behalf of three citizens in GreenBay. Jeffries concedes, quoting that she
has not been strictly adhering to thestatutory requirements of Wisconsin statutes, but the
failure to do so is inadvertent anddue to a lack of awareness of statutory

(22:45):
requirements. Wisconsin's one of twenty states, along with the District of Columbia,
to offer election day registration. Shewas not following any of the state laws
regarding any of it, and shewas like, I didn't I didn't know.
I was just I was just youknow, helping people. You're the

(23:12):
city clerk and you don't know statelaw on elections. I'm just simply pointing
out, my friends, the marginsthat Biden allegedly air quotes won in twenty
twenty are so slim, these littletowns and hamlets across the country where he

(23:38):
didn't know. You know, really, you can't do that. And then
you add in Justin Haskins polling datathat says seventeen percent of voters doing mail
in voting committed fraud. That's hundredsof thousands of vot oats shouldn't have counted.

(24:04):
That alone ends it another big storyin the press box. As if
we don't have enough issues with illegals, did you know they're stealing oil?
The Permium Basin is in southern Texas. It is, maybe by some accounts,

(24:27):
the biggest reserve of oil in theUnited States. Now some say North
Dakota's got it. I think it'sbacking. But that kind of works under
Canada's land as well, I think. But truckloads of oil are being stolen
from small and independent oil producers.Trucks, equipment, work clothes, you

(24:52):
name it. They're working with organizedcrime and they're stealing our oil that these
independent companies process, refine, makeavailable for refinement, et cetera. And
so these small, independent oil producersare being robed blind. Their livelihood's being
stolen, and this is happening acrossthe southern part of Texas. Another problem

(25:19):
with the illegal immigration, and thenthis under these slow learners. You've got
to be You've got to be kiddingme. This won't take but a second.
San Francisco is now offering the ManagedAlcohol Program. Homeless that are alcoholics

(25:40):
and addicted to booze are being givendrinks every day, classes, housing in
a hotel, three meals, culturalalloutings, and it's going to cost cast
taxpayers five million a year. They'regiving alcoholics one to four drinks a day

(26:00):
on taxpayer expense. People that havegone through recovery are saying, ah,
this isn't recovery. This is notgoing to help. You think they'd learned
illiberals. Never do they need victimclasses. This is perpetuating victimhood. This

(26:37):
is incredible. The number of utilitypolls snapped in half and broken during the
tornadoes on Friday exceed the numbers combininghurricanes Hermine, Irma and Michael. Yeah,

(27:00):
that's nuts. Rain is gonna bewith us for a while this morning,
And if you're just waking up,schools are closed in Leon Jefferson,
Wacola, Gadsden Counties at least,So just check with your list serve and
make sure. But if you're inLeon County, your schools are closed.

(27:23):
Bay County open. But the rain, the flooding, the roads, the
trees, the power that there areall still issues here and it'll be a
while. I've been getting text frompeople out of town. Yeah you okay,
Yeah, like hey heard on thenational news, Yeah that you know
this bad wave, and like,yeah, I'm doing okay. Can't say

(27:47):
everyone is doing okay because it's kindof rough out there. My sister reached
out, heard about the tornadoes thatwent through Tallahassee. Are you okay?
I thought about not responding. That'sso, senister, just I just you

(28:07):
woke up and Joseph violence. I'mno, I'm just a jerk, no,
I replied immediately. Little brother syndrome, Is that right? I don't
think so. When I was born, my sister was fifteen. That's big.
That's a big gap. Yeah,so it's not like you could really
like, oh, she's like shewas gone like mom too, you know,

(28:29):
like when you were old enough tolike play tricks or whatever, she
was already well out of she's gone. Yeah, yeah, toast anyway,
I basically, I mean I grewup as an only child in a family
of seven, five kids and momand dad. I was an only child.
It's true. It's one of thosesurreal stories. Ever, all right,

(28:52):
I thought this was this was justthis made me laugh. Probably shouldn't
just starts with the hunger strike atPrinceton. They vowed to not eat or
drink again until their demands were meant. Oh no, don't threaten us.

(29:14):
Participants will abstain from all. Thisis their announcement, from all food and
drink except water until our demands aremet. We commit our bodies to their
liberation of Palestine. Princeton. Hearus, Now, we will not be
moved. They're ending their hunger strike. They're hungry. They're hungry due to

(29:41):
health concerns of the thirteen strikers whofasted for ten days. The first hunger
strike wave ended and the second waveis begun ten days. They did a
ten day Is that what you said? Yeah, that's a pretty impressive fast.
Actually yeah whatever. Yeah, Firstof all, I don't believe them.
Yeah, true, I think theywere sneaking sour patches. Sour patch

(30:02):
kids, and and uh you know, and yeah, yeah, absolutely,
But even if they were, whatkind of commitment is that? That's so
funny? This is it's true.It's it proves that I can't take it
anymore. It proves that everyone isinherently like a moral and religious creature,
right because we want to give allof ourselves to something, and these people

(30:26):
are just doing it for stupid temporalridiculously that's an interesting point. I mean,
rather than fasting for God, yeah, inside, for a cause greater
than oneself, as long as itdoesn't go too long. Yeah right right,
See that's what I that's the bottomline point here. All right,
So the next wave is coming ooh, so we got another group of fourteen,

(30:52):
thirteen, ten people that are goingto fast for ten days and then
quit and go get food, andthen what another group and then another group.
Okay, have a good time starvingyourselves. I'm not worried about this
generation. They don't have heart,they don't have courage, they don't have
commitment. There is no school todayfor many of the counties in the listening

(31:33):
area, not all. So checkwith your your lists, are your whatever
you go to verify. But Ican tell you that Leon County schools are
closed. Bay County schools are open. The rest is up to you.
That's how we'll start. It's wetoutside. It reminds me of the old
forecast of the hippie dippy weather manGeorge Carlin. Some of you will laugh

(31:59):
just by me mentioning George Carlin andthe hippie dippy, hippie dippy weather man.
Tonight's forecast dark continued dark with scatteredlight in the morning. Oh,
anyway, I want to I wantto circle back to the end of the

(32:21):
last hour where I talked about nocourage the generation, and I'm not talking
about like everybody in the generation ofmillennials and gen Zers. I'm talking about
the protesters, the Marxists, theClantifa's out there. Honestly, I'm going

(32:44):
to borrow from what Hamas and theJihadis say about them. They're useful idiots.
They don't really have the courage oftheir convictions because they're not honest convictions.
They're not birth of true knowledge ofanything. You can't fake. Passion

(33:15):
that lasts and becomes commitment that leadsto some form of change, you can't
fake that. It has to Itcomes from a true, heartfelt place of
conviction. That's why I don't Idon't. I don't fear these kids.

(33:43):
They don't even know what they're doing. They don't they don't know. They
can't point Palestine out on a map, they don't know where Gaza is.
Person after kid after kid gets askedabout this and they go, well,
I you know, I really don'tknow. What does that mean? Do
you know what that means? Committedgenocide? Oh they're not. This is

(34:09):
what genocide looks like. It's whatthey did. Yeah. Anyway, I
just wanted to clarify when I talkedabout no heart, no courage, no
conviction. They just because they're they'rethey're being co opted. They're just as
Grant talked about, they're just lookingfor a cause to be passionate about.

(34:29):
But but with that comes no truepassion because they don't know enough. You
can't be passionate about something that youdon't know anything about. You can look
like it, you can feign it, you can pretend, you can hashtag
and you can post. But that'swhy the hunger strike. We are giving

(34:54):
our bodies until really until what you'rehungry for pizza, till the pains then
you start getting a little dizzy andhallucinating and all that. Look ten days.
Yeah, way to go, welldone. Next round comes in.
Yeah, did you get your demandsmeant? No? You know, the
courage of your convictions. You're beinguseful idiots. That's how the Jahattes think

(35:20):
of you. It's just not exactlywhat I plan to talk about here,
but I think it's important because Iknow that we have young people that listen
to this program and you're not them. But this hopefully allows you to better

(35:45):
interact with people that are thinking thisway. It's almost like help them to
come out of the matrix. Comeon, comma, come on, take
the red pill. Yeah, you'rebeing played. You're being played for a
fool. This is how they thinkof you. Explain genocide, and it's

(36:07):
amazing how as you talk through genocideyou realize that what they did Hamas on
October seventh was genocide. What theyengaged in The Israelis are being surgical.
They really are. Ten minutes pastthe hour, it's the Morning Show with

(36:32):
President Scott. Eleven minutes after thehour. I'm intentionally steering clear of Michael
Cohen and the whole Stormy Daniels thing. It's just absurdity. Michael Cohen's the
fixer. Did you see any ofthe video of his pitch. He's trying

(36:54):
to pitch a reality TV show thathe stars him. He had a demo
reel all done, and he's I'mthe fixer, and so what happens in
his testimony he talks about being thefixer. It's just you can't make this
stuff up anyway. Look, itdoesn't. It doesn't surprise me at all

(37:19):
that Donald Trump paid Stormy Daniel's moneyto allegedly keep quiet. Where's the crime?
The crime allegedly is that he didn'tlist it as a campaign expense in
some way, shape or form.Well, it's not. There was an
NDA, there was an agreement.She was a very high priced prostitute.

(37:52):
She got paid, and she didn't. She wasn't coerced, she wasn't made.
She she's she's left with the guy. He later had her sign on
NDA and gave her some money.Not the greatest attributes and virtues, I

(38:15):
grant you. But where's the crimeanyway? Michael Cohen, his attorney,
is trying to turn this into something, and they're trying to turn it into
something, and it's just I'm not. I think they've made a lot of
mistakes in this, but I'm notgoing to spend a lot of time.
I am going to point out thisis something that broke last month. Do

(38:36):
you know who doctor David Morians is. You ever heard the name? I
don't think so. He's an advisorto doctor Anthony Fauci worked for worked with
top advisor and the House of Repsselects subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic now has

(39:00):
emails? Now have emails? Haveemail? Has email? Have Well?
Anyway, they've got email from Moren'sfour messages to Peter Dasak, a zoologist,

(39:23):
and those emails show that the zoologistsfunneled money from Fauci's agency to a
lab in Wuhan. Here's what's significant. Those emails from doctor Fauci's advisor,
doctor David Morens. They were onhis personal email and he directed people,

(39:49):
which is now in the emails thatthe Congress has quoting retained. Very few
emails or documents continue to re quest. The correspondence on sensitive issues be sent
to me at my Gmail address.I try to always communicate on Gmail because
my NIH email is foid Constantly,I will delete anything that I don't want

(40:13):
to see in the New York Times. That's a that's a federal that's a
breaking of federal law. That's abreaking of transparency laws. I told you
this was eventually the damn was goingto break. He's privately communicating and arranging
the payments going from Fauci's agency wherehe he said there was no no gate

(40:38):
of no, no gate of functionresearch unless there was, But I'm not
saying there was. I'm just sayingthat if there, I meant, if
there was, it was done onpersonal email accounts, and a whistleblower knew
it and pointed Congress to the rightemail account. And it's now in the

(41:00):
hands of Congress. Will Fauci eversee prison? A couple of stories here

(41:23):
about girls. Judge in New YorkNew York County struck down an executive order
NASA County. Remember the county executive, Bruce Blakeman. He said, Yeah,

(41:43):
we're not going to allow biological men, boys to compete against girls women,
not going to allow it. Well, I knew this was gonna happen.
Judge Francis Rosigliano ruled that he didnot have the authority to issue the
order. Banning trans genders from women'ssports. Well, first of all,

(42:13):
he didn't. I knew this wascoming, absolutely knew it was coming.
He's the county administrator. Basically,he does not have that authority. It
doesn't change the fact that he's right. He said, a lack of courage
from a judge. You didn't wantto decide the case on its merits.

(42:37):
Unfortunately, girls and women are hurtby the court. I don't disagree with
any of that. However, hedoesn't have that authority, and ultimately that
does matter. What's interesting here isthat the largest school district in the state
of New York, Manhattan, theschool Board, has approved a resolution that

(42:59):
could lead to a ban on transgenderathletes otherwise known as men competing against women,
boys competing against girls. So that'sa step in the right direction.
Though we are yeah, I needto stop. I also knew this was
coming, and it's starting to showup already. WNBA basking in the glow

(43:30):
of Caitlyn Clark and a few otherrookies that are noteworthy. But look,
let's let's call it what it is. Caitlyn Clark broke records that have stood
for years. I still believe themost prolific scorer in NCAA basketball history is
not Caitlyn. It's Pete Marivitch becausehe averaged forty four points a game.

(43:52):
But I digress. Caitlyn Clark isa phenom and she raised the awareness and
interest in women's basketball because she playsit like a guy. But I said
it was going to be rough forher because the race issue was unescapable,

(44:14):
inescapable, and it's proven to bethe center for the Las Vegas aces.
Asia Wilson out there complaining, Ithink it's a huge think. I think
a lot of people may say it'snot about black and white, but to
me, it is because you canbe top notch and at what you are

(44:36):
as a black woman. But maybesomehow that's something that people don't want to
see. They don't see it asmarketable. So it doesn't matter how hard
I work, it doesn't matter whatwe all do as black women, We're
still going to be swept underneath therug. Boils my blood when people say
it's not about race, because itis. No, it's not about race.

(45:00):
And so even though I know thatI'm howling into the wind here,
and I'd like to point out thatNike is rolling out a signature shoe with
her name on it. She alsosigned an endorsement deal with Gatorade. And

(45:21):
she made these announcements knowing those dealswere done. They weren't announced, but
they were done. So I'm justpointing out she's fine. She's getting paid
more outside of basketball and she doesinside the sport. Why because women's basketball
doesn't make any money in the professionalleague. They might make money this year.

(45:42):
Because why because Caitlin Clark is sellingout arenas. Can I tell you
that? Here's the dirty little truth. It has nothing to do with black
or white evidence. Oh who's thatgymnast um? You know? I can't

(46:04):
remember her name because she's not white. Give me a break. Simone Biles,
ladies and gentlemen, is a gazillionaire. She's black. She's great at
what she does. Here's the difference. It's not about race or skin color.

(46:31):
It's about the fact that Caitlin Clarkplays women's basketball like a dude.
She jacks up shots crossing half court. She'll have knights where she can't throw
it in the ocean. She'll havenights where she's unconscious. That's why Pete

(46:51):
Marrivige sold out gyms That's also whyJulius Irving did, and Michael Jordan did
and others. If it's about skincolor, then how did Magic Johnson?
How did Kareem abdul Jabbar? Howdid any number the majority of black athletes

(47:14):
in the NBA making gazillion bank How'sthat happen? It has nothing to do
with that. It's because you're playinga sport that largely is unwatchable, the
WNBA. It just is. It'sugly. Now it's getting better. Caitlin
Clark's throwing stuff into the bleachers andnot making shots. I'm not watching.

(47:38):
I don't care. It's not interestingto me. But I told you it
was going to happen. Broken record, Preston Scott. The greatest trick the
Devil ever pulled was convincing the worldhe didn't exist. On news radio one

(47:58):
hundred point seven in UFLA. Whodoes this? Got a homeless problem in

(48:20):
a city? A lot of thehomeless in this city are alcoholics, and
so you're going to take five milliondollars a year of tax money and you're
going to give them one to fourdrinks a day, put them in a

(48:45):
hotel, three meals a day.Cultural outings, yes, cultural outings,
going to the theater perhaps and maybecatching a bit of the ballet. Big
Stories in the press Box brought toyou by Grove of creative marketing and digital
expertise. San Francisco under fire forgiving booze to homeless alcoholics. An interview

(49:12):
with a recovered alcoholics said, where'sthe recovery in all of this? He
said, this is not how youtreat people that are alcoholics. This isn't
help anyway. Uh, slow learnersman, California, good grief. It

(49:37):
is. It's like you want tosay, is it in the water?
What can cause a state to byand large be so delusional in policy?

(49:57):
I mean they're Democrats. I I'mat a loss to explain it any other
way. Speaking of City of GreenBay, ridiculously progressively illiberal, the city
clerk now admitting she doesn't understand electionlaw that she was breaking. I just

(50:22):
I didn't know. That's just oneexample. We'll talk next hour with Justin
Haskins of the Heartland Institute about thefallout from the polling that he did where
roughly one in five people who didmail in voting admitted to committing one or

(50:45):
more federal felonies. On voter fraud. They just didn't know they were committing
voter fraud. At least most ofthem didn't know. Illegals stealing oil from
the Permian basin near the Texas border. They're literally stealing oil that's loaded in

(51:06):
trucks from independent oil producers, andBiden's doing nothing. And then this polling
suggests at this point, this ispolling from the Florida Chamber, the abortion
initiative has sixty one percent support.That's enough to pass it. Trust me

(51:34):
when I say we will be spendingtime talking about this at greater length.
It is so important that you rollup your sleeves, spend a little time
refining the argument and helping people understandthis will be complete and total, unrestrained

(51:59):
killing a babies and not necessarily allin the womb because it's not defined unrestrained
abortion. Preston Scott, can youfly this plane and land it? Surely
you can't be serious. I amserious, and don't call me shir on
news radio one hundred point seven.WUFLA had a brief discussion about this around

(52:28):
the dinner table on Sunday after church. Disney CEO Bob Iger indicated last week
he is personally involved in honing theMarvel and other Disney franchises, but in

(53:00):
particular quote, I we have beenworking hard with the studio to reduce output
and focus more on quality. NowI certainly agree with the idea that they
just released way too many movies andweird characters and storylines, and it's just

(53:20):
I personally think the ending of theoriginal series is something that that you know,
my sons and I disagree on.They think that whole Avengers Endgame Ultimate
and I don't know what the InfinityWar whatever they were called, was awesome.
I thought it was just cumbersome,way too much, way too many,

(53:45):
too many to be continued. Ididn't. I didn't. I didn't
like it. But in the inthe wake of those movies and most of
the cast coming out as unbelo believablywoke, speaking out politically and weighing in
on and look, they have everyright to do it, but some of

(54:12):
them just flat insulting their audience andit suffered at the box office as a
result. And so he thinks it'sbecause they had too many movies. There's
a point that he has here.There have been too many Marvel characters,
movies, things. Not every comicthat Bob Lee and his boys drew out.

(54:37):
Stanley Sorry and his team drew deservesmovies, deserves a movie, deserves
movie status. They don't all needto be out there, but they're desperate.
But what I can absolutely assure himis that the problem with Marvel isn't

(54:59):
just about quantity over quality. They'veturned off a bunch of their audience.
They've insulted a bunch of people thatare frankly center right right, you know,
conservative, and they don't want anypart of the wokeness. They just
don't want their money going to linethe pockets of these people and the studio

(55:22):
that funds it that is as woke, if not more woke, than any
of the actors. What is it? Chris Evans is Captain America? Is
that? Who that is? Ithink that's his first name. Who was
he before Captain America? Nobody nothing? Captain America turned him into an icon?

(55:44):
What did he do? He insultedeverybody that that turned him into a
star, and that ensures that eachand every one of them gets more jobs.
That's part of the Hollywood patronage network. Yeah, so like you you
get this big break, right,your Captain America or your Scarlet Johanson who's
been in other films, right,but she became wildly popular because of Marvel

(56:09):
and then goes in exactly and thenshe gets these other jobs. It's the
patronage network. If you give usa little incense and you insult, you
know, the masses, you'll getmore jobs, make more money. And
the big types, the big execsat Disney and Hollywood. My contention is

(56:30):
we've asked this question before, likewhen are the stockholders going to say something?
I'm I'm growing more convinced that thestockholders are in lockstep with the media
companies to try and engineer the marketand engineer the masses to get us desensitized
to all of the nonsense. Andthey're part of this, you know.

(56:52):
But it's work, I know,but they're not winning them back to the
box office. Universal's kicking these Pixar. But similarly to the point I made
last hour, like we're inherently moraland religious creatures. The stockholders, the
media execs, they're all committed tothis like it's a religion. They have

(57:14):
to continue to do it in orderbecause they've got a They are the priestly
cast. You know, but what'sgonna happen is they're gonna they're they're losing
box office share. They're not justlosing share, they're not making money.
Their stock their valuations are plummeting.Eventually. That means these actors aren't making
there. They're the studios can't givethem the big money up front. They're

(57:37):
gonna have to say, well,we'll see how it does in the box
office. We'll pay you based onthat. And if people aren't going,
and they're not, I mean II have very little interest in packing up
and going to the movie theater.Yeah, I'm been in two three years.

(57:58):
There's you get one film maybe ayear that's even remotely interesting, and
that's it. I think both youand I talked about Napoleon being interesting.
Yeah, yeah, do you gosee it? I never did. Neither
did I. But it's like,yeah, no, I found out there
were a couple of scenes in therethat might have been a little over the
top in terms of intimacy, andI was like, yeah, not so

(58:20):
much. I heard they turned himinto kind of this uh sekine phoenix.
Yeah, yeah, as Napoleon.They turned Napoleon into kind of this like
simp kind of like he was justworshiping, you know, the female lead,
and it's like, okay, it'sJosephine, Yeah, his wife,
mistress, whomever it was historically,But just the idea that no man could

(58:43):
ever ever just be like highly competentand really good unless there's a woman,
right, God forbid. We actuallyhave great men that solely just dictate themselves
and their you know, competent.But late going into the segment Manly minute
more coming up next, Justin Hasssin our number three here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with

(59:07):
Preston Scott. Manly minute, moment'sway, short segment here. I just

(59:36):
I'm not sure I would have admittedif I was Robert F. Kennedy junior,
that I at one point had aworm in my brain. I'm sure
by now you've heard the story.It's been kind of joked about. But

(59:57):
a deposition reviewed by The New YorkTime from twenty twelve where he talks about
a worm that got into my brainquoting and ate a portion of it and
then died. He was diagnosed withmercury poisoning. You said I have short
term memory loss. I have longerterm memory loss that affects me. He

(01:00:21):
has said to the Times recently thathe's fully recovered from the memory loss,
has no after effects of the parasite. Still not sure i'd have talked openly
about my medical history, which isprivate. I'm not sure I would have
talked about a worm in my brain. But that's just that's just me.

(01:00:43):
Time for manly minute. These arevirtue skills. Things to teach your son
to be a man. We talkedlast week about getting your son at the
appropriate age a pocket knife, thenteach him how to use it. If
it's a pocket knife, one ofthose Swiss army knives that has a few
little attachments, teach him how touse each and everyone the various uses for

(01:01:08):
that thing. But at the veryleast, teach him about the respect that
he should have for a bladed instrument. Teach him how to open boxes safely
with it. Teach him how hecan create tinder from sticks for a campfire,

(01:01:30):
not the app thank you. Teachhim how to get lint off of
his sock for dry tinder as neededusing that same thing. There are any
number of uses for a good pocketknife, but at the appropriate age.
Teach your son how to use one, how to care for one, how

(01:01:52):
to sharpen one. Honing the edgeon a stone is cool. Is the
art of doing that is so muchfun. And there are gazillion uses for
a pet knife, pocket knife.All right, the news is next.
It's the morning show at Preston's.Cut all right, it's a third hour

(01:02:32):
here on the Morning Show at Preston's. Reminding again parents and around the Capital
City region, schools are closed today. The aftermath of the tornadoes on Friday
through the city, followed by therainfall yesterday and then again today. Wisdom

(01:02:53):
prevailed and they have closed the schoolsin the county as well as the surrounding
counties. So keep that in mind. Bay County out there in Panama City,
your schools are open and operating asnormal. We welcome you to the
third hour of the program. It'sTuesday, May fourteenth. He's Grant.
I'm Preston Scott. Great to bewith you and please to have with us

(01:03:13):
once again from the Heartland Institute.He is Justin Haskins, Justin, how
are you. I'm doing great?How are you? I'm doing well?
I caught your visit with Tucker Carlson. For those that may not know the
context, let's remind everybody about thepolling that you did and what you learned
about mail in voting in twenty twenty. Yeah, so I had a theory.

(01:03:37):
I've had a theory for the pastfew years now. That's the greatest
form of voter fraud, the biggestform of voter fraud that occurred in twenty
twenty. And I really wasn't surehow much of this actually had occurred when
I came up with this idea.Was a voter fraud within a household.
You know, a husband who voteson behalf of his wife, ah,

(01:03:59):
adult child who's voting on behalf ofeverybody in the household, friends voting for
friends, that sort of thing.Because when you send ballots, millions of
ballots, tens of millions of ballotsout into the world, you know you
have a lot of people who aregetting ballots that don't normally vote. And
it was a contentious election, andI thought there was a chance that that
might occur. So what I wantedto do was create a poll that would

(01:04:21):
ask voters it just flat out ifthey engaged in activities that constitute voter fraud,
So we asked about people filling outother people's ballots and other kinds of
voter fraud as well, and wedidn't tell them it was voter fraud,
but in a lot of cases itwas pretty obvious, and we wanted to
not just would people be honest,would people say, yeah, I did

(01:04:42):
this thing. And what we foundwas an absolutely incredible number of people said
voters said that they committed at leastone kind of fraud in the twenty twenty
presidential election. It ended up beingabout one in five, between one and
five and one and four, sowe're talking about twenty twenty five ish percent
of voters, depending on how youlook at the numbers, said they that

(01:05:05):
they engaged in at least one ofthese activities. And of course, when
you apply that to the election results, you would have a completely different election.
And we actually did the math tomake sure that that was the case.
But because Joe Biden relied so heavilyon mail in ballots, way way
more than Donald Trump had twenty percent, say or even fifteen or ten,

(01:05:29):
all the way down to I thinkit's around five percent of ballots had been
cast illegally. Then Donald Trump notJoe Biden would have been president of the
United States. What is the falloutfrom this information? What are you hearing
from officials in states and local municipalitiesfederally. Yeah, the media response to

(01:05:51):
this has been absolutely incredible. Youknow, you mentioned the Tucker Carlson interview
that was seen by millions and millionsof people, something like five million people
or so. Saw that. Wehad millions of other people here about it,
like on this show, Glenn Beck'sshow, Mark Levin's show, you

(01:06:11):
know, Fox News, all theI mean, almost every big name in
conservative media talked about this, Butas far as policymakers go, it was
mostly crickets. I mean, lotsand lots of interest from regular folks,
from media, from people in theTrump campaign. Donald Trump himself said it
was the biggest poll in twenty years, he says, the most important story

(01:06:32):
of the year. But local andstate officials really have done absolutely nothing,
have said nothing about this for themost part, and I think that's really
telling. Justin Haskins with us,We're gonna come back, I'm want to
pick up there. We're going totransition to another topic or two or three.
Always pleased to have him with us. Heartland Institute. Stopping Socialism is

(01:06:56):
another I guess venture if you will. It's got a web site Stopping Socialism
Now dot com. I think itis. We'll reset all of that and
continue on the morning show. Yeah, quick notice here for all of you
driving in Leon County, especially onthe east side, report of a pretty

(01:07:19):
significant accident just east of the LighthouseChildren's Home one mile east of I ten
on ninety. So just keep thatin mind as you're driving. And also
keep in mind the roads are wet, they're flooding, and we still have
hundreds of power lines power poles snappedin half from the tornadoes that race through

(01:07:42):
on Friday. So be safe asyou're driving around. Justin Haskins with us.
Yes, the website is Stoppingsocialism dotcom. Justin I'm curious. Does
the fact that that lawmakers, especiallyRepublicans, the House Speaker, the Senate
Minority leader, does there's silence justbuttressed the idea that we are more and

(01:08:02):
more working with a monolith of apolitical party, sort of a uniparty.
I would say that the silence atthe state level is even more appalling and
proof of that fact. Okay,because you would think that in these deep
red conservative states that something would bedone, and they have made some improvement

(01:08:28):
since twenty twenty in regards to electionintegrity, but we're still not even as
good in terms of secure elections aswe were prior to the COVID pandemic and
a lot of the and there wereproblems before that, and so I mean,
it's really appalling that even in adeep red state like say South Dakota
or something, you can't get thingspassed. Nuke Gingridge said that Republicans are

(01:08:53):
going to have to outperform Democrats atthe voting precincts by a significant margin to
overcome the kind of well outbar theterm from the left, the systemic cheating
that is likely to happen. Haveyou figured, have you guys done some
number crunching to determine first whether he'saccurate and secondly what that number would have

(01:09:13):
to be. When you say atthe voting precincts, do you mean like
actually voters people showing up? Yep, Yeah, I actually think that based
on the numbers we're seeing, Becauseyou can remember the election, the presidential
election is going to come down primarilyto a handful of states, just like
it did last time, and thereality is that in those states like Georgia,

(01:09:36):
Arizona, for example, Pennsylvania,mail in balloting is really the difference
between the two Candidates's that's where Republicanshave to make up the difference is with
mail in balloting. They've had theirbutts kicked when it comes to mail in
balloting in all of these states inthe last couple of elections, but especially

(01:09:57):
in twenty twenty and overwhelmingly, likein a state like Pennsylvania, I mean,
Joe Biden won like seventy to eightypercent of the mail in ballots there,
and so that's really where they haveto make up the difference. And
that's why I'm so concerned about voterfraud, sure, because it's so easy
to commit voter fraud with mail inballots, and they still haven't fixed a
lot of the problems dealing with theelection integrity issue when it comes to the

(01:10:19):
mail in balloting. Given that fact, you know, one of the discussions
that happens in groups that you know, I hang out with and talk to
and interact with different people is youknow what Republicans, Conservatives, they need
to start doing things the way Democratsdo it. When it comes to mail

(01:10:40):
in balloting, do you just ifyou're the GOP, do you just really
push mail in voting and don't pushlegally doing it? You know, And
by that, I'm simply saying highlightingthe legal ways to do it versus what
Democrats do, which is they don'tcare. Yeah, I mean, I
think you have to push mail inballoting unfortunately, because I just don't see

(01:11:01):
any other way to get to getthe kind of votes they're getting in the
Democratic Party, and every single voteis going to count because the election is
going to could come down to thousandsof votes. I mean, if you
look at the last election, threestates, for the most part, three
states Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona decidedthat that election, and in total it
was decided by less than fifty thousandvotes between those three states. So we're

(01:11:25):
talking about out of one hundred andfifty million ballots casts. So we're talking
about a tiny, tiny sliver fractionof people making the difference here. And
if you're not doing everything you canon every single level, including with mail
in balloting, then you're probably goingto end up losing. And so you
do have to push this. Butreally the solution is so simple, and

(01:11:47):
this is why it's infuriating that Republicansaren't doing it. Solution is very simple.
You either don't have mail in ballotingunless you have a good excuse for
it. So you know, ifyou're disabled, there's something, or you're
out of the state, then that'swhy verifiable. Yeah. Or you make
people go to a you make peoplego somewhere to fill out the mail in
ballot, or have a notary involved. I think a notary is probably the

(01:12:11):
best thing that you could possibly do. Three states actually have a notary requirement
for ballots, but the vast majorityof states do not. That would be
an easy solution, and Republicans justdon't seem interested in that. Justin Haskins
with us for another segment. Moreto come on The Morning Show with Preston
Scott. Justin Haskins with us fromthe Hardland Institute. We're talking about the

(01:12:47):
fallout the follow up if any tothe polling on voter fraud and mail in
voting. It doesn't surprise any ofus that had happened. It's just kind
of fun that so many people admittedto it, which kind of speaks to
either the sinister nature of it orthe ignorance of voters or both, justin

(01:13:09):
failing to secure mail in ballots.Though if that's not done properly, basically,
we'll just see a repeat. They'llstop the counting, figure out how
many they need, and they'll comeup with more. Right, I mean,
I think that we're in a situationwhere when the election is close.
And I said this prior to twentytwenty because it seemed obvious to me that

(01:13:30):
this was going to happen, Ijust don't think you can say with any
certainty that you know who wins,because it's just it would be too easy
to commit fraud. And you onlyneed a small, tiny percentage of fraud
in some of these states, likeone percent or less to completely swing the
election one way or the other.And if you make it easy to commit

(01:13:50):
fraud, how can anyone really knowhow much of it occurred or didn't occur
or anything like that, And youjust can't. And just as an aside,
didn't mention this earlier, but Ishould have told you about this before.
But we had a poll that cameout in April that asked people about
voter fraud, very similar kind ofpoll. We asked people whether they'd be

(01:14:11):
willing to commit a variety of differentkinds of voter fraud, except instead of
we did instead of twenty twenty,we asked them about this upcoming election.
And so we asked them things like, would you be willing to secretly change
one of your friends or family member'sballots? Or would you be willing to
destroy secretly one of your friends orfamily member's ballots? Things like that pay
people off, that kind of thing. And what we found was twenty eight

(01:14:34):
percent of voters said yes, Iwould be willing to do at least one
of those things commit fraud. Sothis is the upcoming election, So how
much clearer could people make it?They're literally saying, yeah, I'll commit
fraud if given the opportunity, andstill nothing is being done at this point.
It would be fair to say it'stoo late for the upcoming election to

(01:14:57):
put any safeguards in place. Dependson the state, but in most places
that's probably the case. Yeah,So what we need to hope for and
pray for is just an absolute blowoutelection. That's what we need. That
is so to that extent, tocircle back, that's where Gingrich might be
onto something where they're just there.People are just going to have to and

(01:15:18):
even Democrats. You know, we'reseeing the polling that that black voters are
migrating to Trump in numbers for aGOP candidate not seen since nineteen sixty four.
Those types of voters probably are moreimportant than ever. Yeah, I
think I think at this point thatis one hundred percent true. You need

(01:15:39):
to win it, can't. Youcan't go into it saying we're just going
to do We're just gonna we're goingto try to win. You know,
we're gonna try. No, youhave to go into it saying we need
to blow the other side out.That needs to be the attitude. And
if that isn't the attitude, whichrequires going to all kinds of different demographics
that normally maybe Republicans don't spend enoughtime on. If you don't do that,

(01:16:00):
then I think you're gonna have alot of problems come November. Well,
I'd hope to kind of get onthe campus protest thing, but candidly,
I want to finish where we've beenin this whole thing. Justin as
you look ahead and the prospects forAmerica, it almost dovetails straight back to
stoppingsocialism dot com, the website thatyou oversee and have been so instrumental in

(01:16:25):
putting content on and making people awareof where we are. It seems like
that's kind of fallen by the waysidea little bit. Yeah, we've got
stories that point to it. Butif we get another term of Obiden,
which is what I'll call it,the Barack Obama Joe Biden Show, we
will be unrecognizable four years later.Yeah, I don't think there's I don't

(01:16:48):
think there's any doubt about that.This is It's amazing because Joe Biden is
a guy who is thought of bymany people to be sort of a middle
of the road president, but inreality, the people around him and him
as well, I mean, theentire administration is the most progressive left wing

(01:17:11):
administration in terms of policy that wehave had at least since say Franklin Roosevelts
or Woodrow Wilson or somebody like that. I mean, you got to go
all the way back to that periodof time. Barack Obama was much more
moderate in terms of policy. Ithink he actually was much further to the
left than his policies were, andI think his policies were pretty left wing.

(01:17:32):
But that just shows you how farJoe Biden and his administration the people
around him have taken it. Andit's because they learned from their mistake.
Yes, they didn't do things fastenough the last time, thinking they were
going to win the elections forever.And now they're not taking any chances.
They're doing everything they can to radicalizethis country and they are succeeding well.
And it speaks to the importance ofthe other part of the election process,

(01:17:56):
which is Congress and the House andSenate. Because we got to stop this
ping pong by executive order. Wegot to get to some real change in
law that protects our infrastructure, oureconomy, our energy sector and so forth.
That's right, one, one hundredpercent necessary, and we need to
have states take the lead, andsome states have, like Florida has done

(01:18:19):
a fantastic job of this. Butstate need to take the lead. They
don't need to wait for what forWashington, d C. To solve their
problems. Yeah, they can fixa lot of their problems themselves and push
back on the encroachments from Washington DCin the process. Justin thanks for waking
up so early there on the WestCoast. I appreciate it so very much.
You know that, and thank youfor your time. Have a great

(01:18:39):
one. YouTube President. Thank you, sir Justin Haskins with us this morning.
He's an all timer. He's oneof the best we've ever had on
this show, spanning eight thousand interviewson the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Welcome to The Morning Show with Preston'sI just I just have to take a

(01:19:06):
second hear fig stories in the pressbox, brought to you by I Grow
with Creative Marketing and digital expertise.I don't know if you heard the National
news. They're talking about Michael Cohenclaiming Trump told him this is this is
a disaster. This is a disaster. Women are gonna hate me. I'm
struggling with the idea that a guywho wrote a book bragging about his exploits

(01:19:32):
outside of marriage was overly concerned aboutthat at that time. Michael Cohen is
his own worst enemy. First ofall, he's he's he's a proven liar.
Secondly, he played a recording ofhis client and he's supposed to be

(01:19:56):
engaged in attorney client privilege and andand confidentiality, and he's recording the guy
to make a pitch for a TVshow. Wow. Anyway, not what
I was gonna focus on big storiesthough. This morning poll suggesting Florida's abortion
protection amendment has enough support to pass. This is all gonna boil down to

(01:20:18):
you. It's pulling by the FloridaChamber. It's sitting at sixty one percent.
The weed amendment sits below at fiftyeight percent. The number sixty percent.
This is all up to you.I don't know what messaging, if
any messaging, is gonna get doneto stop this, other than you.

(01:20:42):
It has to be you pointing outhow horrible this amendment is. It's wording
its title, it's all misleading.It will enshrine abortion on demand at any
point for any reason. Wow,how can you say that? Because it

(01:21:10):
doesn't limit it at all. Eventhe justices that allowed it on the ballot,
those ridiculous rulings made by the fourmen on the State Supreme Court,
even they admit this is going tobe litigated like crazy. Why because it's

(01:21:33):
so ridiculously circular their argument that they'remaking. So it's clear and concise,
but it's going to be litigated becauseit's confusing. It's up to you and
me. I'm gonna do all Ican to help you formulate the apologetic the

(01:21:59):
defense of life just based on thisamendment. It's not about winning people over
to your view. That would beawesome on abortion overall. It's about pointing
out that this is wrong. Tryagain next time. This is wrong.

(01:22:19):
This amendment is wrong. San Franciscounder fire for a program giving booze to
homeless alcoholics. Gee, what couldgo wrong? Green Bay, Wisconsin city
clerk admitting that she doesn't understand electionlaw while she's breaking it. And illegal
immigrants are stealing oil from the Permianbasin near the Texas border from independent American

(01:22:44):
oil producers. They're stealing the trucksloaded with oil right there from the from
the independent producers. They're taking moreof our resource. This is becoming an
incursion by the Hortels into America.It is an invasion. I think you
can argue that our military needs tofight back, but that's just me.

(01:23:06):
Forty minutes after the hour, MoneyTalk next with Howard Heisman. Time for
a little money talk brought to youby me with Howard Heisman with Enhanced Financial
Services, Securities and advisory services offeredthrough NBC Securities Inc. Member Finder and

(01:23:30):
SIPC NBC Securities Inc. Is awholly owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA.

Howard, Good morning, sir,Good morning, front. We have

(01:23:54):
been talking about the student debt absurditythat we are now seemingly facing. Let's
put some context to it, though, sure so, depending on how various
plans happen to be designed. Thetotal cost of student debt cancellation policies have

(01:24:15):
been put in place since twenty andtwenty, it estimated will cost the treasury
between eight hundred and seventy billion toone point four trillion. And the interesting
tidbit with those numbers pressedon is thatthat's more than the total federal spending on
higher education all the way back tonineteen sixty two through two thy and nineteen,

(01:24:42):
when it costs seven hundred and fortyfour billion. That's how much the
federal Treasury spent for higher education overthat's a really long time frame. Yeah,
that's a that's a staggering number.It speaks to obviously, the cost
of education in this day and age. But also when when you say the
treasury, that obviously means you andme, right, yeah, the folks

(01:25:05):
that are paying the taxes. Absolutely, let's talk about the stock market and
the fact that it would seem commonsense would tell me that with the contraction
out my word, not anybody else'sof the economy and the businesses that are
shutting down and so forth, mergersand there've got to be fewer stock options

(01:25:28):
out there than there have been.Well, you'd be exactly correct, absolutely
correct. So the number of publiclytraded companies in the US market is applying
by over forty percent from its highpoint when there were more than eight thousand
publicly traded companies back in nineteen ninetysix to about forty six hundred and forty

(01:25:51):
two in two thousand and twenty two. And I suspect the number with increased
activities in mergers and acquisitions the lastcouple of years is even lower than that
now. And the leaders, thoughare two of the giant public companies.

(01:26:12):
They've been big acquirers pressing alphabet thatare known as Google and Microsoft Alone,
those two companies have acquired more thanfive hundred other previously public companies. Howard,
this might be getting outside our skisjust a little bit. But when

(01:26:32):
you look at a company like Alphabetor Microsoft acquiring so many other companies,
while it's the right of anybody's businessto sell their business for the most part,
does it get to the point wherethe SEC needs to look at this
and say, that's too many companiesunder one that's a great question they of

(01:26:53):
course, you know, and thereare many that believe that the SEC in
regulation in general role is overdone.I happen to be in that camp,
But in terms of it being basedon the number of companies, I think
I'd be more focused on the technologyindustries that they're acquiring and whether they're basically

(01:27:20):
putting themselves in a monopoly position,whereas some of those other companies may have
continued to flourish. Just my takeon it, we got less than sixty
seconds here. I'm curious factories aremaking a comeback. I don't understand how
or why. If it's true,it's good news, but what do the

(01:27:41):
numbers say? Yeah, well,the real focus is on construction spending.
So the US, as you know, for decades and decades really in the
manufacturing sector has lacked and this pastMarch spending annual lies came in at over
two hundred and twenty three billion,again construction spending in the US that was

(01:28:09):
higher than it was pre COVID inFebruary twenty twenty. In fact, construction
spending has increased, and this isto build factories, whether it's for semiconjunct
semiconductor chips or you know, automobiles, truck factories, etc. It's risen
by one hundred and eighty five percent. That's two point eighty five times more

(01:28:32):
spending than it was before. Itmay have something to do with what do
they call it, the Inflation ReductionAct, poorly nate legedly, but they
you know, they've been putting somemoney into it. And frankly, I
think it's not a bad thing tosee the US become more competitive, particularly
in the chip manufacturing sector, awfullyimportant for security purposes. Howard got to

(01:28:58):
go, Thanks for the time,my friend, forty seven minutes past the
hour. The last reminder for anyof new parents, kind of late to

(01:29:18):
the game. Here. Leon Countysurrounding area schools are closed today. Bay
County schools are open, running asnormal, but not in and around here.
Be safe as you're driving around roadsare flooding. Hopefully we'll start drying
out over the next few days,at least get a little bit of a
break. Tomorrow on the program,US Senator Rick Scott will join us in

(01:29:43):
the second hour. Charlie Strickland TalentTraining Group. In the third. We
got Florida Man, Florida Man factand fiction. We got it, we
got both. We got a coupleof Florida Man stories. And then we'll
do the factor fiction game. Butthis is pretty cool. Al Blashki originally
earned the title of oldest person totandem skydive when he jumped out of an

(01:30:08):
airplane in twenty twenty. Al wasone hundred and three years old, but
his record was broken by a Swedishwoman, rout Linia inga guard Larson boy.
Imagine that on a driver's license.She was one hundred and three and

(01:30:30):
two hundred and fifty nine days oldwhen she went skydiving. But Al got
the record back. Wow, atone hundred and six years and three hundred
and twenty seven days old. Couldn'tesshe just did it? Who was?
And he was joined in a tandemjump by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who

(01:30:55):
did his first tandem jump. That'sinteresting. So he's back in the world
records. Well done, al wayto go one hundred and six, almost
one hundred and seven years old,jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, which
shows you don't always get smarter asyou get older. Brought to you by
Barno Heating and Air. It's theMorning Show one eight on WFLA just kidding

(01:31:25):
sort of morning show. When alook back at the programming one hundred and
eighty seconds or less, someone thirtynine versus thirteen and fourteen is where we
started the day. Poles suggesting kindof an ironic thing, talking about being
fearfully and wonderfully made in your mother'swomb. Pulling coming out from the Florida
Chambers suggests the abortion Protection Amendment hasenough support to pass here in Florida.

(01:31:50):
It's up to you people. Itjust is you've got to you've got to
to own this issue. San Francisco. Oh, they're going to give boost
alcoholics, put them up, givethem three meals a day, get them
in hotels. What could go wrong? It's a great idea, and that
what she would do, just keepgiving drugstatics that gap I see, yeah,

(01:32:17):
Green Bay, Wisconsin. The cityclerk has admitted that she doesn't fully
understand election laws, so she can'treally be held responsible for not following illegal
immigrants stealing oil from the Permian Basinnear the Texas border. They're literally taking
truckloads of oil from small, independentoil producers. An advisor to Anthony Fauci

(01:32:43):
secretly messaged a zoologist who funneled moneyto a Chinese lab, and this was
all conducted in emails that were noton the See how we say the radar
of government officials, which is supposedto be by law, Princeton University students,
and the anti Israel hunger strike dueto health concerns. You don't say

(01:33:05):
we'll be doing it again tomorrow.Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
