Episode Transcript

(00:15):
Oh, good morning friends, Thursday, May twenties, third, Sorry on
the Morning Show with President Scott.I'm just laughing at the national news there.
China doesn't like Taiwan's new president.You know, most countries would say
something like, we're concerned about hispolicies of Dad. We have strong disagreements

(00:36):
on his philosophy as it relates tono, no, no, China,
he's a trouble maker. Such allright, anyway, good morning and welcome
Thursday. Busy program. As always, some unsettling things to talk about later
in the show. In the thirdhour, unpact that in due time,

(01:00):
doctor David Hartz joins us with someoptimum health naturally, highlighting the word naturally.
Steve Stewart from Tallahassi Reports will findout what's going on in the local
community and area. Look, theTallahassee area, the capital city. What
happens here reverberates throughout the state.I've said it time and again and and

(01:23):
and here's the other thing. Whathappens anywhere. You know, I've talked
about what's happening in Green Bay.Obviously it caught my eye because I'm a
huge Green Bay Packer fan, andto see that the city and it's politics
in particular, it's elected officials arejust ridiculous, progressive lunatics. Breaks my

(01:51):
heart. And they're they're they're lucky. A townland green Bay would dissolve away
with the policies of the city wereit not for the packer franchise, which

(02:12):
runs the economy, the economic engineof the community. Take the packers away
from there, which will not happen. But if you if you did,
that community would turn to dust.And so, you know, you look
at what happens in a in asmall town. It it can teach lessons

(02:32):
about, you know, things toworry about, things to watch for.
I keep telling folks locally, youbetter be paying attention to the election locally
because what happens this year in Tallahasseecity elections will determine whether Tallahassee becomes Portland

(02:53):
or not. It's just that simple. So our verse today comes from the
Second Corinthians one three and four.It says, Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of

(03:14):
all comfort, who comforts us inall our affliction, so that we may
be able to comfort those who arein any affliction with the comfort with which
we ourselves are comforted by God.We are allowed to go through trials because

(03:44):
we live in a fallen world.God's promise is if you're steadfast and faithful
to Him, if you've given yourlife to him, when it's all done,
you'll win. I measure wins andlosses eternally. Some measure them differently.

(04:14):
I think the only way you measureis eternally, because there are just
things that stink that happen in life, and it's a consequence of us living
in a world that is captured bysin. Thankfully, we have a way

(04:40):
out, We have an option,and we use the comfort that God gives
us when we're going through challenges,difficulties, afflictions. We hopefully use that
and share that empathize with others goingthrough similar difficul cult situations. With the

(05:02):
comfort we've received, you share that, you pass it on, You comfort
others. How it works. Sowhen you're going through a difficult time,
my wife always says, let's askGod what's in this for me? Are

(05:24):
you what are you trying to teachme? Be open to hearing from him,
and then make note of it inyour heart and your mind and your
spirit to share with others ten minutesafter the other, after the other,
ten minutes after the hour. Andwe'll take a peek inside the American Patriots
Almanac. Next Preston Scotty at thetime, why are you not at the

(05:51):
day? On news Radio one dpoint seven double UFLA. May twenty third,
seventeen eighty five, Ben Franklin writesin a letter that he just invented
bifocal glasses. Opportunity is found inComplaint seventeen eighty eight. South Carolina becomes

(06:30):
the eighth state to ratify the Constitutionthat in nineteen oh three, thirty one
year old Horatio Nelson Jackson visiting SanFrancisco's University Club. In nineteen oh three,
someone wagered fifty dollars it would beimpossible to drive an automobile to New

(06:53):
York in less than ninety days.Jackson took the bet. He did not
own an automobile, and no onehad ever crossed the continent by car.
At that time. The United Statesbarely boasted one hundred and fifty miles of
paved roads, all of them insideof cities. Highways were often nothing more

(07:17):
than two ruts leading toward the horizon. Jackson purchased a used twenty horse power
car made by the Winton Motor CarriageCompany of Cleveland, christened it the Vermont
after his home state hired a mechanicseawall Crocker to accompany him. They loaded

(07:42):
the automobile with supplies, and onMay twenty third, nineteen oh three,
they left San Francisco heading east,the first drive quote from sea to sea
in a horseless carriage. As itwas reported by the San Francisco Examiner,
they bounced along cliff side ledges,splashed across bridgeless streams, zigzagged over trackless

(08:05):
planes, tires, blew out springs, broke bolts, sheared off parts,
rattled to pieces. Bad directions.Bad directions took them hundreds of miles out
of the way. They lost countof how many times they had to haul
the Vermont out of mudholes. Butat every farm, village, and town,

(08:26):
curious folks gave them a hand.Blacksmiths helped them make repairs. In
Idaho, they bought a bulldog namedBud, fitted in with driving goggles and
took them along for the rest ofthe ride. Come on, that's an
image there and on July twenty sixth, the mud covered Vermont rolled into Manhattan.

(08:52):
The journey had taken sixty three days. Though he never bothered to collect
his fifty dollars beat Horatio Nelson.Jack Exon won his bet. The age
was there for the open road.It had dawned for the American automobile.
So it started on this date innineteen oh three, that's crazy. Nineteen

(09:16):
eleven New York Public Library is dedicatedand on this date in nineteen thirty four,
police killed bank robbers Bonnie Parker andClyde Barrow in Beanville Parish, Louisiana.
It was an ambush that were setup and it was a beatdown of

(09:37):
bullets, all right, when wecome back, maybe one of the coolest
stories of an upcoming auction. Sothis is one you can get your You
can maybe get a group of friendstogether, pull your resources and make a
bid. This may be the coolestI've ever talked about. And that's spanning

(10:05):
twenty two plus years. Next onThe Morning Show with Preston Scott in two

(10:26):
thousand and five. A jersey,a road gray jersey worn by Babe Ruth
in nineteen thirty two, sold atauction for nine hundred and forty thousand dollars.

(10:52):
At the time they knew the jerseywas nineteen thirty two. They thought
maybe it was from the World Seriesthat year. That was in two thousand

(11:16):
and five. Since that time,technology and information has allowed them to pinpoint
that jersey just a little bit more. Quoting Jim Montague with a company called

(11:41):
me Gray, vice president of AuthenticityAuthentication, there were a couple of things
that helped this jersey stand out fromprevious seasons. How the why was positioned
on the front of the jersey,and relationship to the buttons and the plackett
on the jersey. Back then,everything was hand stitched. There are seamstresses

(12:05):
putting names and numbers and stitching inthe collar. The stitching of the names
in the collar. They're doing itby hand. When you see certain places
placements, you have something unique.It's sort of like a fingerprint. Because
no two jerseys are the same.They're all slightly different because they're handmade.

(12:28):
That leads to photos of Babe Ruthin the fifth inning of Game three in
the nineteen thirty two World Series,the final World Series Babe Ruth played in.
It was at Wrigley Field, againstthe Chicago Cubs. The scores tied

(12:52):
four to four. Ruth stepped tothe plate and pointed whether he intended to
point a pitcher Charlie Root, theChicago dugout. The outfield remains a matter
of historical uncertainty. Bought on aRoot curveball, Ruth hit a four bagger

(13:18):
between four hundred and forty and fourhundred and ninety feet to center field.
It has been immortalized as Babe Ruth'scalled shot. This is the jersey he
wore. When he pointed, thatchanges everything when you're looking into this,

(13:43):
he said, photography Montague said,there's a small notch in the inn in
New York, almost as if itwasn't completely straight. The top of the
W had this curve as opposed toa flat edge, and then the E
had sort of a bend at thebottom. The Ruth jersey had no intrinsic

(14:11):
value at the time. It wasjust a dirty, old baseball shirt and
a lot of this type of thingwas lost to time. Jerseys were sent
down to the minor leagues, warn'tin practice till they fall apart and then
they're thrown away. The fact thatthis piece made it for ninety plus years
and represents one of the most significantmoments not only in Bay Bruce's career,
but the history of baseball that's interwovenwith the fabric of America. That's pretty

(14:39):
cool. It's almost too good tobe true, you know it, given
all those factors, the possibilities,who it is when it was, just
what it meant, that's just unreal. That's what makes this jersey next level.
It's connected to a great moment inAmerican short's history, not to mention

(15:01):
a World Series, one of themost debated topics in the last one hundred
years, and Babe Ruth to putsome context on it. The current record
for any sports collectible is a nearperfect nineteen fifty two tops Mickey mantlecard we
talked about it on this show thatsold for twelve point six million dollars.

(15:24):
The record for any piece of sportsmemorabilia is the ten point one million spent
on a jersey Michael Jordan war inGame one of the Last Dance NBA Finals
of nineteen ninety eight. Oh wow, they are expecting this jersey of Babe
Ruth to perhaps sell for thirty milliondollars. Golly, Now, let's get

(15:54):
to the important stuff Before we takea break here, I said, you
all want to pool together with someof your buddies and make a bid.
The auction is set for August twentythird, twenty fourth, and twenty fifth
Heritage Auctions. We'll be doing theauction, so make note. I'm quite

(16:18):
certain we will have a follow upto this story, but as it relates
to auctions that we've talked about onthis show. I think this is the
coolest I've ever come across because it'scertain they've got the photos of him in
the jersey pointing. They can lookat that jersey, see the how it
was made, and now they havephotos to compare every little stitch and nuance

(16:42):
and they photo matched it. It'sthe jersey of the point, the called
shot of Babe Ruth. Game three, nineteen thirty two World Series, Yankees
Cubs, Wrigley Field. Come on, get some of that. It'll only
cost you thirty million. The PrestonShow with Morning Scott what Wack thirty six

(17:21):
Past the Hour Grow a creative marketingand digital expertise presenter of the Big Stories
in the press Box Representative Thomas Masseyof Kentucky. He's kind of a wild
card. You never know what you'regonna get with Massy. Smart guy.
But he has introduced a legislation titledFederal Reserve Board Abolition Act. He wants

(17:52):
to dismantle, abolish the Board ofGovernors, and do away with the Federal
Reserve. It aims to repeal theFederal Reserve Act from nineteen thirteen. FED
is They claim it's responsible for implementingUS monetary policy, maximizing employment, stabilizing

(18:19):
prices, moderating long term interest rates. That's not the job of the government,
but anyway, I digress. Ifenacted, the bill will allow one
year for the FED to be shutdown. The Federal Reserve Act would be
repealed, its assets and liabilities liquidated. The Office of Management and Budget would

(18:44):
be responsible for the liquidation process.Just letting you know what's going on.
Norway, Spain, Ireland are goingto recognize Palestinian statehood. They announced it
yesterday they would formally recognize a Palestinianstate. Israel immediately recalled its ambassadors to

(19:06):
the three nations. The formal recognitionwill take place on May twenty eighth.
This is not going to help.It's so interesting to me how people just
say to Israel, just give upyour land. There are how many Arab

(19:26):
Muslim nations surrounding Israel carve up someof your land and don't want to do
that? And the idiocy of well, of course Hamas needs to give away
its hostages. What hostages? Whereare they? I'm telling you, you

(19:52):
know, Israel. Israel had everyright to target Hamas after October six,
but what's gone on since then iswhat they provided humanitarian aid. In fact,
I could argue they've done a betterjob of taking care of Palestinians than
Hamas. It's done anyway. Inresponse to that, here in Florida,

(20:21):
to just kind of show you howdots connect represented, Randy Fine plans to
introduce legislation in the next session addingany country that recognizes Palestine to Florida's list
of scrutinized countries, which means wewouldn't do business with those countries from an

(20:41):
official state capacity. You decide foryourself what you think of that. And
then lastly, Judge roy Altman UsDistrict Court in Southern District of Florida has
blocked part of the law passed andsigned by Governor DeSantis in twenty three that

(21:06):
prohibits the transportation of illegal immigrants intothe state. The judge said, it's
not your purview. So what we'reallowed, We're going to say that the
federal government has a right to moveillegal people illegally into this country into any
state they want, when they want, how they want, where they want.

(21:32):
This is going to be appealed to. Santas said, almost, dared
the judge, please, I thinkso? Yeah, do the Andrew Jackson
option. When the courts ruled againstAndrew Jackson back during his presidency in the
eighteen hundreds, he said, letthe justices make their decision and enforce it
themselves. Do it? Dare them? Well, the governor DeSantis is is

(21:55):
not not so much that tack.His tack is that's fine. Will appeal
it right on up. See that'swhere normally the ACLU, which is behind
this lawsuit against Florida, they backdown when it gets too high because they
don't want that ruling. So we'llsee where this all leads. Forty one
minutes after the hour, you caughtup on the big stories in the press

(22:15):
parts. We've got a few morefyis next. Preston Scott, you're mocking
me, aren't you. Oh no, no, no no, no,
no no. Unused radio one hundredpoint seven te wm UFLA forty two forty

(22:41):
three minutes now pass. Supreme Courtis not going to hear a case challenging
a school district policy which hides studentsgender identity from parents. You well know
that we had an issue here inLeon County. There are issues like this

(23:03):
happening across the country. Supreme Courtdeclined to hear the case. Under the
Montgomery County Board of Educations guidelines,parents deemed unsupportive quote from their guidelines will
not be told if their child isundergoing a gender transition at school. The
Justice is declined to hear the appealby three parents who challenged the plan,

(23:30):
leaving in place the lower court rulingthat found they did not have standing.
This is this issue that drives menuts about standing. The fourth district said
to the three parents, your kidsaren't going through anything, so what's the
problem. It doesn't affect you.That is so shortsighted and wrong because you

(23:59):
don't know if they if they're goingthrough it or not, because the school's
not compelled to tell them. Thedissenting opinion in the judge in the ruling
in the Fourth Circuit came from JudgePaul Niemeyer, who was appointed by President

(24:19):
George H. W. Bush.Been there for a minute. The majority's
conclusion is, in the circumstances ofthis case, an unfortunate abdication of judicial
duty with respect to a very importantconstitutional issue that is directly harming and will
likely continue to harm the parents inthis case by usurping their constitutionally protected role.

(24:48):
So once again, this issue ofwell, you haven't been harmed yet,
what do you mean yet? Whydo we have to wait for someone
to be harmed to look at arule, a policy and say that's unconstitutional.
This is one of the biggest flawsin our court system, the issue

(25:11):
of standing. Another another story worthnoting, this from Online Wall Street.
Apes IRS received eighty billion dollars inthe Inflation Reduction Actor. Remember that the
eighty billion. They're now bragging theywere able to recover five hundred and twenty
million dollars from wealthy taxpayers. Thatequates to a seventy nine billion, four

(25:38):
hundred and eighty million dollar loss forAmerican taxpayers. So they write, we
give the IRS eighty billion to helpthem raise five hundred and twenty million this
is an economic disaster. That's howgovernment works. Give us eighty billion so

(25:59):
we can come with come up withfive hundred and twenty million from wealthy taxpayers.
We'd have been better off if we'velet it all go. Keep the
eighty billion, I mean, predictable, and the five hundred and twenty million
is a drop in the bucket,literally a drop in the bucket. And

(26:22):
then lastly, Red Lobster has filedfor bankruptcy. Happened on the nineteenth.
They're going to continue to operate.They're shutting down some stories we've detailed that
they hope to keep employing about fiftyeight thousand people. But I go to
the Babylon b solution. Just whenthey get the endless shrimp special, don't
leave. Just keep eating endless shrimp. They can't close. Preston Scott on

(26:56):
News Radio one hundty seven double UFLARuminators know I am on the cutting edge
of well, I think Rush calledit societal evolution. Maybe it was Glenn

(27:18):
Beck. I don't know one ofthe two of them. And of course
I'm I'm joking. I am probablynot remotely on the cutting edge of anything
like that, but I try tokeep my eyes open, and the research

(27:38):
staff does a phenomenal job. Thisis the headline, four hundred dollars for
one pineapple, The rise of luxuryfruit. Have you ever seen at the

(28:02):
grocery store honeycrisp apples? Sure,that is what we're talking about. There
is right now underway around the worlddevelopment of hybrid breeds. For lack of

(28:23):
what we're putting it, a hybridfruit, citrus and the like a honeycrisp
apple is a hybrid that took yearsto develop. It's now a thing,
and if you price it, they'remore expensive than a red Delicious or a

(28:45):
Golden Delicious apple. And it occurredto me as I was looking at the
pictures of some of these fruit thatwell, I have seen that, and
now I'm learning about it. Butlet's go back to that four hundred dollar
pineapple for just a minute. First, you're not blowing four hundred bucks on

(29:07):
a you know, a Michelin restaurant, a multi course meal, or if
you're into caviat or a fine bottleof wine or what you know. I
mean, I don't do things likethat, but whatever, some do.
But it's the ruby glow pineapple.It costs three hundred and ninety five dollars
and ninety nine cents at Melissa's Produce. It's a specialty seller of fruit and

(29:32):
vegetables. It took del Monte,a wholesaler which sells a variety of produce
but specializes in pineapple, a decadeand a half to develop the red hued
fruit. Limited crop was first availableand sold in China. They're now deciding

(29:53):
to check out how it will farein the United States. Melissa started selling
it. It's grown in Costa Rica. It unlike a regular pineapple, which
has if you eat enough pineapple,you know, it starts to get a
little acidic pretty fast and your mouthcan You can actually develop little sores in

(30:14):
your mouth if you eat too muchpineapple. This removes the aftertaste, and
so it's now a thing. Thereare things like honey crisp apples, cotton
candy grapes, sumo citrus, andvertically grown Japanese strawberries. Minnesota farmers came

(30:40):
up with the honey crisp apple andit was price a little higher. It
still is, but it's become athing, and so they're growing it.
The sumo citrus is the citrus yousee at the store. That looks like
it's got an audi belly button that'sprotruding from the base of it, kind

(31:03):
of like that's the only way Ican describe it, like an oudie and
it has a bit of a cultfollowing. Now too, there's a pink
glow pineapple not nearly as expensive.It's in the twenty to fifty dollars range.
So yeah, the ruby glow pineapplecomes in a gift box. Just

(31:29):
letting you know. Thursday in theMorning Show, May twenty third, Show
fifty one sixty five. Nice routenumber. He's Grant Allen. I'm Preston
Scott. Great to be with youthis morning as always, and Thursday is

(31:51):
a busy day, lots to talkabout, so let's begin. Steve Stewart
with me. He is the executiveeditor of Telehassh Reports, the website tellascioreports
dot com. Good morning, myfriend, Good morning president. How are
you. I'm good. I'm goodgood. It's always nice to be recognized
and appreciated for the things that wetalk about. An old voice from the

(32:12):
past on a near elevant show,tell me so. Wanted to touch on
city districts, you know, becauseit still is in the news. Ryan
Ray, who's the executive director ofthe Democratic Executive Committee, the Progressive Element,
he's also Mattlow's, aid, youknow, we had a charter review
committee put together and the districts couldn'teven get discussed without there being a social

(32:37):
media post calling people racists who wantedto have city districts. And to make
it clear to people here who aremore interested in state national politics, the
way elected leaders are for the citycommissioner elected the five members they're called that
large and what that means basically thecity limits which goes now all the way
up to Bannerman Road. You canhave all five city commissioners could live in

(32:59):
one apartartment downtown and be elected tothe city commission. So there is no
districts. Gainesville does districts, Jacksonvilledoes districts. All of the top twenty
populated cities do districts except one theydo. Districts are geographic. In other
words, you have to live ina certain area so you have representation.
It's the normal way of doing thingsexcept in Tallhassee. And so I thought
we were sort of past it andwe were going to write about it because

(33:20):
it's something we can't change. Imean, there's just nobody that wants to
defend it because people don't like toget up and speak. If you're going
to be called a racist after you, you know, make your argument and
so but it I got this.I saw on social media that our old
friend Gary Jordan and his I didn'teven know this show is still going on.
The Usual Suspects was going to haveRyan ray On for whatever it's worth.
I've not heard one thing about itwhich tells me how many people watch

(33:44):
it exactly. But anyway, soI, as part of my job,
I tuned in, okay, andI actually you go boy. Well,
actually the first three minutes I turnedit off. I couldn't watch it,
and I said, I gotta watchit. It's my job, and so
we did. I did watch it, and sure enough, city districts came
up there for the two conservative proponentsfor districts, which would be you and
I. But you know, tolisten to them talk about it tells you

(34:07):
exactly what they fear. And thereason why I'm talking about it now is
to inform people about city districts.And this is an issue that's going to
have to be addressed at some pointbecause again the state legislature can force it.
Well, we'll see what happens there. But the problem is the city.
The city is growing. They growby annexing and developments, just like

(34:28):
the one up next to summer Brookthat they're building there. The residents are
being annexed in. Before you know, even the first health house is sold
for property taxes. And the issueis is basically free money because the city
doesn't really provide a lot of serviceservices to the Northeast. And when I
ask people to say, you knowyou pay, you pay a good you

(34:49):
know, say a average home insummer Brook pays probably one thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars to the city. Whatare you getting, well, they said,
well, electricity, No, that'sa separate bill. Well, fire
services, No, that's a separatebill. Store, No, that's a
separate bill. What are you gettingfor your property leverage collection? No,
no, it's a separate bill.Yeah, you know who maintains the parks
and then summer Brook some Brook HomewerAssociation. So what do you get?

(35:10):
People can't tell you. So they'retaking advantage of the Northeast and people are
just writing a check basically to thecity and now they won't even let you,
They won't even entertain the idea ofyou having representation. Well, I
was going to say, I'm notfoolish enough to think that everybody who lives
in the northeaster and the north partof town agrees with all of the positions

(35:30):
that I might hold or you mighthold on a personal level about politics or
governance or anything. But the factof the matter is that for a lot
of people there is nothing going onin the city that represents them. Yeah,
it's a practical thing. Now lookagain, if you're going to take
our money and not doing thing whereso at least let us have a vote
or let us have some representation.And boy, they fear it is mostly

(35:52):
the progressive element again because because ifthere's districts, they're never going to get
the majority on the city commission.And that's all that they're infatuated with right
now is getting the the you know, the three vote majority so they can
wreak havoc with with with the city. And so you've got to see this
approaching a billion dollars or a billiondollar budget. And again, if you're

(36:14):
listening, all five city commissioners canlive in the same apartment complex or on
the same block with the same block, and that's not healthy and they're fighting
that. Yeah. Yeah, ofcourse. I just keep telling people that
the upcoming city election will determine whetherTallahassee becomes Portland or not. It's going
to rate. It will settle alot of issues, it really will.

(36:35):
Yeah, all right, back withmore Steve Stewart Tellas Reports, Subscribe,
get the paper, Teleaser Reports dotcom. It's the morning show with Preston
Scott. I think you subscribe toTallhash Reports, if for no other reason
because Steven Dore's modern day version ofChinese water torture. Have to watch shows

(37:00):
like the Usual Suspects. I mean, that's cruel and unusual punishment. Anyway,
it was tough, Yeah, Ibet it was. Okay, let's
talk about There was big blueprint meetingand the airport gateway came up. Blueprint
meeting on Thursday. Actually went tothe meeting and the context there, that's

(37:21):
where you have all the elected officialsfrom the city and the county in one
room, so it's very efficient.Went there and set through the meeting.
First meeting was a blueprint budget workshop. Every year. Obviously they're looking at
the budget of spending your penny salestax on these projects, which some people
don't know what these projects are.Bannerman the extent or the expansion of Bannerman

(37:42):
Road is one of those Market DistrictPark is one Northeast gateway. And so
they approve the budget and they're spendinglike fifty three million dollars in fiscal year
twenty twenty five. They got afive year capital plan of one hundred and
forty million dollars on projects which you'llstart seeing these are infrat ructraal projects.
Blueprint has been lauded since the sincetwo thousand as taking these the sales tax,

(38:07):
the penny sales tax, getting approvalof these big projects which are not
really controversial, haven't been right buildthem and people look, hey, yeah,
look this is this is a wayto do it, you know,
useful for the community. Yes,he's gotten more controversial since they added the
economic development piece. We've talked aboutthat, and it's also has gotten more
controversial because of the progressive element thatwants to sort of wreak havoc with everything.

(38:30):
Commission Mattlow referred to Blueprint as asham at one meeting. So I
mean this is something that's been aroundfor twenty five years. But so this
budget workshop they were there to lookat the numbers and sort of basically is
just a perfunctory vote to move forward, because all these things have already been
approved by you know, through ballotand everything. And but there's this thing

(38:52):
about the airport gateway. Explain it. Explain what the gateway. Airport Gateway
was going to be spring Hill Road. They were going to beautify spring Hill
Road, provide I had a betterpath to downtown from the airport, and
so that was approved by the voteras well. After that, a substantial
amendment was recommended to build another roadin addition to that, going through Innovation

(39:12):
Park as more of an economic developmentpath. Coming past the golf doesn't connect
to the the gateway that first extensiondoes. It connects right at the stadium
basically because you're coming down like BradfordRoad and then that stucky road comes into
that. So they eventually but theidea was to build us through FSU,
which is obviously an economic driver withthe mag Lab with other you know companies

(39:36):
out there, Dan Foss to tryto generate sort of a you know,
a road that is an Economic DeltDevelopment Quarter and so that was that was
approved overwhelmingly back and by I thinkit's twenty seventeen, time has changed,
obviously, times you know, havehas moved on. These projects were solidified,
they start moving forward. UH CommissionerChristian Command, who represents district too

(39:59):
No district with the Leantic County Commissionon the southwest side, decided that he
thought that it was too much moneyto spend given the increase in costs,
and he made a move to sortof to try to get the gateway stopped
and just use spring Hill Road.Well. Immediately the Progressive saw an opportunity
to recav it, they sided withhim. This became a six month battle

(40:22):
trying to stop the airport gateway,which was overwhelmingly approved, and there was
a lot of parliamentary moves to tryto get it done. I don't think
a lot of the elected officials understoodthat you've got you have to have a
majority vote, super majority vote fiveLeoni County commissioners for city commissioners to change
anything that's on the ballot. Language. You can't just go in there and

(40:43):
defund a project that you're changing thescope. So I think it became clear
Thursday that this is not going towork. It and I ask you a
stupid question. Sure, can youhave six county commissioners and three city commissioners.
No, you have to have themajority, super majority of both bodies
of both bodies individually to change tochange what photo approved. So it's a
very it's a very and it doesn'thappen very often. And so what happened

(41:07):
evented. I think Thursday the claritywas finally put upon those who were trying
to change the gay way, isthat this road's going to get built because
it was approved by a supermajority,and so now we can move on.
After the workshop, they had aregular meeting where they dealt with trying to
add affordable housing. We can talkabout that next. Love It sixteen minutes

(41:29):
after the hour. See this isthis why you subscribe to the paper.
You get these stories in depth.We're giving you a little snapshot, little
taste. It's like a shark udreboard of things going on here in the
community. But if you want tohave a meal, you go to Tellasireports
dot com. Twenty one past thehour. Steve Stewart, tell us your

(41:53):
report, subscribe tell Us Reports dotcom All right, let's let's transition to
another topic that has been discussed recently. And I'm gonna put air quotes around
the word affordable, right because it'ssort of like assault weapon. We don't
define what that really means. Soaffordable housing was something that the locals had

(42:15):
to discuss. Yeah, I mean, listen, this is a buzzword that
again the progressive elopment of the communitycan latch onto is something that they want.
Obviously, people being able to affordcertain levels of housing is an issue
in the economy right now. Everywherein the country, everywhere in the country,
there are housing projects being built nowand so, but they've latched onto

(42:37):
this, and a couple of monthsago the Blueprint Business Meeting, they were
able to cobble together enough votes tobring back an agenda item to make affordable
housing a official Blueprint project. Nowunderstand, what would we just talk about.
This wasn't on the ballot when itwas voted on. So it takes

(42:59):
us substantial amendment, which means yougotta have five county commissioners and four city
commissioners. So when that when thevote three or four months ago was to
bring back the item, progressives wentwild. This is a historic vote.
You know, we're going to getaffordable housing funded by Blueprint. And so
again this was appealing to it.This was an issue they felt that they

(43:21):
could politically, you know, wenton. Well it came back and there's
a couple of things here. Firstof all, the portable housing project that
they wanted, that that was proposedwas that Blueprint would put up money and
buy land that could then be partneredwith a private company to build affordable housing.
One of the problems we have iswe don't have enough land. So

(43:42):
now you're going to take a governmentinto looking to buy land. So that
was the actual process was a littlebit, uh was a little bit quicker
questioned. Yeah. The second thingwas, as I said, we voted
on a list of projects. Theprojects have already been funded. The money
is gone, there's no money.We've already got the list of projects for
the next fifteen years are going tobe built. So putting this project in

(44:06):
it was not going to be fundedunless you know, we found some money.
Don't want to challenge governments to dothat, right, And so what
happened is what happened to the airportgateway is there's a minority or even a
majority that said well, you knowwe want this, Well, the process
is you got to have super majority. They didn't have it. They finally

(44:27):
took a vote. Is done whenthey're not going to do affordable housing project.
I was at the meeting. Theprogressives were livid. Commissioner Porter called
it shameful and that they didn't voteon this, even though again it was
looked to me to be more ofa symbolic vote that they could say,
you know that we've got this,but let me I want to add something

(44:47):
to this. And this is thedifference between the debate that we're having downtown
and a reason why we're not seeinga lot of people participate in the debate.
It's it's the mean streak that isthat is sort of used by progressives
and the people that support them.Commissioner Bill Procter had a problem with this
process. He's got a problem withthe structure of Bill Blueprint. The attorney

(45:08):
for Blueprint, Susan Dawson. Dawson, an African American attorney, has been
taking a lot of shots from theprogressives about how she runs these meetings and
the structure. Well, the structurehas been in place for twenty five years,
so suddenly it's a problem. CommissionerProctor was very clear and now,
look, I understand that the structurehas been in place, but I'm not

(45:30):
happy with it. But I wantto make a point here, Mss Dawson.
This has nothing to do with you. You're qualified, You're running the
meeting the way it's been run forthe last twenty five years. I'm not
happy with the structure. That isa what I would call a respectful,
you know, respectful discussion about hisproblem. Not so much from Commissioner Jack
Porter. Jack Porter went after theattorney right in the public meeting. I

(45:52):
was very uncomfortable watching this. Sheasked her if she was a certified attorney
in a specific area in front ofit everybody right off the bat. Unfortunately,
again another elected official didn't defend theattorney. So the attorney was left
twisting in the wind to defend herselffor two or three minutes, which,
again, as you know, Presdonbecomes very uncomfortable. And then after she

(46:15):
defended herself, Commissioner Reporter had thegall to say, well, I wasn't
questioning your credentials. And so thisis the difference in the debate that you
see between progressives and traditional liberal Democrats. They're mean, I've been on the
end of it. You probably don'tpay as much attention to it as I
do because you've been on the endof it also. But this is why

(46:37):
we're we're losing constructive debate because ofthis approach. When you accuse a police
officer of playing evidence, and youknow, people being racist, people in
the community you don't want to goand give their view on city districts or
affordable housing. They say, hey, I'll pass on this. It's going

(46:58):
to continue on till and you've heardme say it again until Matt Low is
sued. Because people that are legallycleared and are still being slandered as cop
killers, the union police, theindividual needs to simply sue him it ends.
Then that's when it ends, Steve. People have to say enough,

(47:22):
yeah, and it's again. Ithink this is starting really to hurt the
community in the sense of what we'regetting in terms of debate and discussion,
and that's a long term problem.It becomes a long term problem if it
doesn't get addressed. You know,being the jerk that I am at times,
I would say that the county attorney, the attorney in the print.
Attorney would have been really well welltimed to say, I'll tell you what.

(47:45):
I'll answer your question the second youanswer the question about what you did
on those who paid for your trips. I had the same thought as I
said, yeah, yeah, thegall of it all all right, Thank
you sir. Thanks Preston Steve Stewartwith us from Tallasse reports twenty seven past
the Hour. Find more on hisvlog w u f LA FM dot com.

(48:07):
Keyword Preston, doctor David Hart's justa few minutes from now. We
will also give you a road tripidea before the hour ends. Next hour,

(48:27):
kind of a disturbing development story abouta shelter for abused women and girls
that has opened a door, andnormally shelters have abused people don't open doors,
they keep them closed. You knowwhat I'm saying. We'll get to

(48:49):
that. It's yeah, well,I'll just next hour, Norway, Spain,
Ireland about to recognize Palestine in statehood. It's the significance of that.
I think it's potentially more for migrationbecause why why does Norway and Ireland?

(49:14):
Why do they care? I thinkthe officials care for the basis of Third
World migration. I think that's becauseseemingly, on its face, like what
is this, It's just a virtuesignal from Norway and Ireland, but in
Spain and Spain. Yeah, Iwas trying to remember the other one.

(49:37):
But they do have real policy positionsthat they do care about, and migration
is one of them. It's interestinghere is this. I'm sharing their statement
in the midst of a war,with tens of thousands killed and injured,
we must keep alive the only alternativethat offers a political solution for Israelis and

(49:58):
Palestines Palestinians alike, two states livingside by side in peace and security.
They clearly don't understand or know thehistory of the conflict, and they clearly
don't pay attention to what hamas IranSyrians over history, what others have said

(50:23):
about Israel's existence, the accusation thatBenjamin Netanyahu does not have a peace project
for Palestine. Last I checked,everything was pretty well peaceful until when the

(50:45):
seventh of October. Fighting Amas islegitimate after October seventh, but Netan Yahoo
generates so much resentment the offensive willonly increase hatred, worsening security prospects for
Israel. In the entire region.He said, how do you know you
don't live there. You've not beenunder constant threat twenty four to seven for

(51:10):
sixty years, sixty plus years,sorry, seventy plus years, almost eighty
years of border nations attacking you withoutprovocation. The provocation for Islamis is the
existence of Israel. Representative Fine RandyFine of Florida filing legislation that will go

(51:38):
after countries that recognize Palestine as astate, and that means official business and
so forth of Florida. So we'llsee what happens there. Court blocks Florida
law against transporting illegal aliens. Desantassaid, bring it. That's fine.
We will love this case on appeal, and so it will be appealed.

(52:00):
And Representative Thomas Massey US Congress filinglegislation. It's probably not going to go
anywhere. It's going to die,but he's filing legislation to end the Federal
Reserve, do away with it.It's interesting. Forty minutes past the hour,
Doctor David next here on the MorningShow with Preston Scott. Welcome to

(52:21):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Let's get you feeling a little bit better,
but let's do it naturally. Ourgoal here is optimum health. We're
joined by doctor David Heart's good morning, my friend, how are you.

(52:42):
Good morning, Preston doing well.I couldn't believe my eyes. A carb,
A carb that that might be worsethan sugar, you know, I
tell you, I think they're tryingto kill us out there is made is
made? Grant spit out his coffee. They're putting so much stuff in our

(53:04):
food. It's just crazy. Well, there's another thing to look for,
and I don't want to just overwhelmeverybody. Obviously the best thing to do
is just the eat organic food becausethey're just trying to keep put stuff on
everything that's processed. But there's oneparticular substance that's increasing in food like crazy,
and it's called malto dextrin. It'sM A L T O. You've
seen it, Yes, the EX T R I N. And this

(53:28):
is a carb that it increases bellyfat, increases the rates of diabetes,
just erupts gut health. It causesbloating gas, increases cholesterol, which increases
car cardiovasterriisk to a certain extent dependupon what particle. But and it does
all kinds of bad things to us, and it's increasing in our food.

(53:50):
They're putting it in everything. Itcomes from corn and rice, mostly corn,
and it's it's not GMOs. Imean it's it's generically modified corn.
So we got that going for it. But it shows up me to show
a couple of things as then it'sbeen baking good yogurt, nutrition bars,
weight training supplement, cereals, mealreplacement shapes, low fat and reduced colorie
products, on and on and on, Hold on, hold on, Hold

(54:15):
on, hold on. So you'reyou're running through a list first here of
products that people initially are trying orusing to help them regulate their weight,
eat better, and so forth.But it has this junk in it.
Yeah, you're right. And it'sglycemic index, which is compared to sugar,

(54:36):
is like one hundred anyway, glycemicindex how much it actually causes the
glimate limetic shock to your body.As far as the body responding to the
sugar, this stuff is one pointsix to two times higher than white table
sugar. So when when this goesinto your body, it's causing extreme reaction
to the insulin resistance of your bodyas well as the pancras and it's triggering

(54:59):
off insulin resistance and causing more andmore problems as far as is glucose resistance,
which is what the problem is.That's what we end up getting diabetes
from first hypoblyce amia that works intohyperglyssmia, which ends up being diabetes.
So it also affects gut bacteria whichcan affect autoimmune disease. And it just
goes on and on and on andon. So this stuff is not good.

(55:22):
And guess what that surprised you.The Food and Drug Administration says,
this stuff is just fine. There'sno problem with it whatsoever. All right,
let me, I've got it.I'm sorry, And if we need
to bring this to our next segment, that's fine. I gotta I've got
to ask this question. Once youconsume a product that has multi dextrin in
it, does it just eventually leaveyour system? Does it do natural does

(55:45):
it just damage the system? Andthen what's done is done? I mean,
how do we counter this well encounterby eating good sources of these types
of carbohydrates which infecting fruits, seaand vestibles that come from that, and
then stevia, date sugar, raworganic honey, monk, fruit, those

(56:06):
things like that, and you lookforward in the labels, you stay away
from the stuff that has it init, and then you use good natural
resources to replace it. Plus alsoyou just go back to you know,
good old organic food that's just grown, you know, as God made it,
and not all this stuff in it. I mean, as much as
we can, we're gonna be muchmuch better off. So if we've got

(56:27):
products, we go into our pantryand we're seeing stuff with model dextrin in
it. You get rid of thestuff. But how does it leave the
body? In other words, Okay, we start changing our diet. Is
the damage done well? It wellat the end of but diabetes. Yeah,
I mean if it causes a pathologyin your body, of course that
sticks around. I mean it willget out of your body eventually if you

(56:50):
stop eating it. Okay, it'sthe it's the you know, the damage
to the body that we're worried aboutbefore it ever gets out. Wow,
doctor David Hertz dropping the hammer maltodextrin, Right, you got it?
Yeah? I have. I've workedwell, you know, I read I

(57:14):
read the labels for a certain personthat I love dearly, and and so
I've noticed it on a lot oflabels. I did not know what I
was noticing until now I'm looking atpublic enemy number number one. It's pretty
close, Yeah, pretty close.All right, Doctor Harts, thank you
very much. You'd have a greatday. Press you do the same,

(57:37):
Doctor David Hart's with us Malto dextrindextrin. I will tell you. Yeah,
it's in a lot of labels.Okay, I do know what I'm
doing. When I go home today, I probably have a gazillion things multo
dextrin in it. Who knew?Well, now we do, right now
we do. Forty seven minutes afterthe hour, I was just telling grand

(58:16):
one of my favorite snacks on theplanet is was sabi soy smoke out or
not Smokehouse blue Diamond almonds or eventhe Smokehouse Molto dextrin. I'm concerned about
the soy too. Is that like, is that what it's called? Yeah,

(58:37):
well yeah, I mean there,it's it's using soy instead of salt.
Soy is a replacement for salt.But it's like in my almonds,
it's everywhere. That's it. Ican't eat anything. I will not be

(59:05):
I will never mind. So isthat officially like like done cold turkey?
Or you're gonna slowly, graduately donedumping them out. That's why I am
done. There will be nothing inmy pantry by the end of the day.
Probably probably most pantries. It's impostas. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(59:32):
FDA, Yeah whatever, FDA says, it's fine, Sure it is.
He also said that about the VACS. Will you almost you did almost spit
your coffee out? That was reallyfunny. It's like they're trying to kill
us. Grant I may or maynot have said that myself at one time.

(01:00:00):
Quickly. FSU baseball they'll play againtomorrow. They won their opener in
the a SEC tournament, beating GeorgiaTech. They've got Virginia tomorrow morning at
eleven eleven, eleven thirty. Ithink it's eleven. We've got to fit
all those games on one ball field, which means you can hear it here
on locally in the Tallhassee area onWFLA. FSU softball starts tonight. Their

(01:00:22):
series begins tonight in Norman. Yesagainst Ou. Yeah, talking about a
super regional matchup. That's some bluebloods powerhouses. FSU can hit the ball,
can they find pitching? It's beentough this year feels like giving up

(01:00:42):
some runs kind of feels like aninevitability. And that's not a good recipe
usually to beat Oklahoma, Yeah,because they can usually punish the ball.
But it's a rematch in the superregionals of the championship series last year.
Yeah, that's kind of cool.Yeah, congratulate. I just is becoming

(01:01:05):
familiar with quite familiar with one another. Yeah. Corey Clark wrote a piece
and I'm totally gonna blow off theroad trip thing today. Sorry, I'll
catch you up next week. CoreyClark wrote a piece just saying, regardless,
before we get into whether teams advanceor don't advance, whatever, FSU
baseball and softball need to be congratulatedfor having great seasons. We've come to

(01:01:30):
expect the World Series or bust forsoftball, But when you look at the
turnover on the team and you lookat the pitching challenges, and then for
Link Jarrett with baseball, kind ofthe turnover of the roster and where he's
taken the program and the fact thattwo key pitchers have been injured most of
the season. Man, well done. Welcome back to the world where Florida

(01:01:55):
State is in the playoffs. Everyyear season hosting a regional they will they've
got a shot to host a superas well, and forty win seasons.
So congratulations to both programs, bothcoaches and their staff. Well done,
Well done you. All right,I wish the next segment we're going to

(01:02:20):
be is up and optimistic. It'sjust not. But it's really really important
what happens when a house of refuge, supposedly protecting girls and women from abuse
opens its doors. All right,it's five minutes past the hour and it's

(01:03:04):
third hour here in the Morning Show. I take zero pleasure in what we're
about to talk about. I takegreat pleasure in providing you the information.

(01:03:25):
Over the years we have I knowon this program pointed out and attempted to
help and raise funds for refuge House. Refuge House regionally has served brilliantly women

(01:03:46):
and girls who are victims of abuse, giving them a place to be safe
from their abuser. I got anote yesterday about an event from someone who

(01:04:10):
said, I just thought I wouldshare something I came across on a Facebook
post today from Refuge House. Mybest friend was murdered in two thousand and
nine in a domestic violence relationship.She would be completely disgusted that this is
how they are making girls safe.I got emails to that in that light

(01:04:36):
from perhaps a half a dozen orso others. Listen, all women,
here's what was being highlighted. RefugeHouse posted May ninth. Attention all girls.

(01:04:58):
Did you know that females aged sixteen to nineteen are four times more
likely than the general population to findthemselves in a situation involving sexual assault?
Have you ever wanted a safe spaceto talk about all things personal safety or
healthy relationships? We're good right there, right, We're in the We're yes.

(01:05:20):
We are calling all girls, includingall who identify as a girl ages
thirteen to nineteen in the Talas area, to the Leroy Collins Public Library,
May twenty first, a couple ofdays ago, from six to seven,
Bring a friend, We love,snacks, raffles, games, priceless knowledge,

(01:05:42):
useful resources, blah blah blah.And it was called girl talk.
In light of the number of emails, in light of the fact that I
could not in good conscience, thesefunds for an organization that seems to be

(01:06:04):
struggling suddenly with well, to quotean email, struggling with the identity of
what a woman is what a girlis? How can they teach if they

(01:06:26):
don't even know what a female is? Writes one email. So, because
our station group has historically helped Iknow that I have I I perform due

(01:06:47):
diligence. I sent a note andI asked two questions, because what if
just somebody that writes this stuff justwrote it got out a little past their

(01:07:09):
authority made a statement like this thatand it was a mistake. Right,
I've been such a fan of theirmission in what they do. I wanted
to give the benefit of the doubt, but still perform due diligence and say,

(01:07:34):
please offer an answer to these twoquestions. What were the questions?
Did I get an answer? That'snext ten minutes past the hour, It's
The Morning Show with Preston Scott,The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.All right, we're talking about refuge House,

(01:08:05):
and the fact that I'm talking aboutthis kind of gives you a little
bit of a clue as to whathappened. So I wrote the organization early
yesterday morning during the show, andyou write receptionist at refuge house dot com,
and I said, I've got twoquestions. Question number one, as

(01:08:26):
it relates to, and I'm paraphrasing, girl talk, what is the reasoning
behind opening up a conversation about womenand girls to biological men? Why the
overt invitation to biological men and boys? Question number two? Does this mean

(01:08:54):
that refuge house now opens its doorsto biological men and boys? I just
want to pause for a second andpoint out the obvious abuse. Homes like
this are kind of hidden. Youdon't know where they are their secret locations

(01:09:21):
because you have an abusive spouse,boyfriend, male, somebody that is beating
up, sexually abusing both women andgirls, and so you keep these victims
safe until until the situation's adjudicated,until someone's arrested, until whatever. Now,

(01:09:42):
just for a second, imagine herethat someone recognizes that refuge house now
because they're including those who identify asa girl, decides to be an abused
person, and a guy gets inthe home. Maybe their victim is there

(01:10:03):
in that home, maybe not,but the door has been opened to men,
biological men. So I asked thequestion. I think those are two
appropriate questions. What was the pointof inviting biological men to a talk called
girl talk? And Secondly, doesthis mean you're opening the home? I

(01:10:28):
got no answer. Late in theafternoon, I had not heard a thing,
so I picked up the phone andI called the administrative offices. I
talked to a delightful young lady.I gave her the questions I had sent
and the email address I sent itto. I said, look, I'm
going to talk about this tomorrow infairness to refuge House. I would like

(01:10:49):
an official reply to my questions sothat I can be fair. She said,
I will forward this, yes,and do what I can to get
an answer to you. She againdelightful. I got an answer. Dear

(01:11:14):
mister Scott, remember the two questions. The mission of Refuge House is to
provide direct services to victims of domesticviolence and sexual assault and to eliminate such
violence their children and families, aswell as to eliminate such violence through community
education and public advocacy. As theservice provider for domestic and sexual assault survivors

(01:11:40):
for over forty five years, weare keenly aware that violence against women is
committed by men. Please be awarethat the crisis hotline needs to remain open
for survivors who are attempting to contactus for emergency assistance. Our crisis hotline
is for survivors only, and allrefuge House properties are legally protected designated restricted

(01:12:00):
areas. Thank you signed refuge House. Did they answer my questions? They
didn't come close. They ignored myquestions. These are the questions you've asked

(01:12:20):
me, what are they doing?You just got their answer and it wasn't
even signed by a person. Thereis no executive director name, there's nothing
refuge House. I can't tell youwhat to do. I know that for

(01:12:42):
the time I've been doing this show, refuge House has been awesome, and
I'm sure they still are, butI'm very concerned. I, for one,
will no longer until they sattis factorilyanswered the question, and satisfactorily means

(01:13:03):
no trans women are not women andgirls, and they are not part of
our programming, and no trans womeni e. Men are not going to
be in our homes until that isanswered to that satisfaction, I will not
support in any way, shape orform anything to do with refuge House.

(01:13:30):
What happens beyond my show is upto others. What you do is up
to you. But I have sharedwith you honestly and faithfully the efforts that
I've made to get an answer,and the answer that was completely and totally

(01:13:54):
incomplete, insufficient, and ignoring ofthe questions asked. You make your decision
from here seventeen minutes past the hour. Those are really uncomfortable segments, but

(01:14:19):
it comes with the territory. Thanksto all of you that brought it to
my attention. Otherwise I wouldn't haveseen it because I don't peruse Facebook,
and I care because I think it'sa huge security risk. I believe that
trans people are mentally unstable and notwell. They're not to be hated or

(01:14:45):
demonized. They are to be helpedif they're willing to be helped. If
they're not, then you have todeal with the reality of mentally unstable people
interacting in society, and you haveto decide where that needs to be watched.

(01:15:12):
I just think that putting biological menanywhere in the realm of women and
girls that have been abused is arecipe for disaster, and my opinion is
not going to change. It is. It is a sin, like we
all carry sins, but it isit is a sin that people that are

(01:15:35):
living that type of sin are choosingto overtly shove in the face of everybody
else. Well, at least it'sout in front, right, Yeah,
And what's your point? Sin issin, whether hidden or overt, covert,
overt, it doesn't matter. Sinis sin, and I believe it's

(01:15:56):
sin. I believe it's a resultof a trauma of something that happened years
earlier. Most times anyway, Imean, we could go on and on,
but it's related to that is Imentioned this story. Hailey Davidson,
a golfer that was competing in atour in Australia professional women's golf called the

(01:16:24):
NXXT Tour. It's a professional tour. They finally, was she sorry?
He was winning on that tour?And finally the players were like enough and
so they said, nope, biologicalat birth is our women that can compete.

(01:16:51):
Haley had the surgery and the wholenine yards, but rest assured.
I've watched the golf swing, I'vewatched the walk. That's a dude,
you can change, you know.Haley is now the first alternate for the
US Open for Women's Golf the LPGAplayed here in America. She's the first

(01:17:15):
alternate spot two time LPGA Tour winnerJasmine Swannapura is the second alternate. Professional
Louise Olsen Campbell was the first alternatebehind but had her spot taken from her

(01:17:41):
because of Davidson. So a biologicalmale is if one of the two qualifiers
from the Bradenton Qualifier for the USWomen's Open pull out for any reason,
we have a biological male competing anunidentified female player in the tournament, just

(01:18:05):
give me a second here. Bestpart was when he him she her it
hold out, quoting there from fortyfeet off the green and goes bleep yeah
with the lowest male tone I heardall day. Everyone was in shock.
Not a single person clapped. Thissame player said, and she remains anonymous

(01:18:30):
because she says, I'm not goingto deal with it because the LPGA and
the USGA is allowing this. It'stheir policy to allow it. She said.
I'm not in agreement with the LPGAor USGA. I'm more worried about
the future of daughters everywhere. Everywoman on the tour is working so hard
to be on the tour, toplay golf for a living. Women's sports

(01:18:51):
are not a backup option for mediocremale athletes. There's no other way to
explain it other than this. Ifyou neuter a male dog, it's still
a male dog. We never callthem a female dog. I believe if
transgender golf is getting more attention akapopular, then let's do a trans open

(01:19:15):
for them. Who's going to watchhim? Pay to see that? No
One. This is the Morning Showwith Preston Scott thirty six past the hour

(01:19:35):
Tomorrow on the program, Lead Williams, the gunwriter, will join us.
Maybe spend a minute reminding us allwhat Memorial Day is. I'm not sure
you say happy Memorial Day, butwe'll talk about that. Also, your

(01:20:00):
calls, what's the beef, bestand worst of the week? Good news?
Maybe some headlines from the bee,but the big stories in the press
box brought to you by Grove CreativeMarketing and digital expertise. What do you
think of the idea of abolishing theFed? Well, they don't seem to

(01:20:21):
do a whole lot of good.You know, there's a part of me
I completely agree, but there's apart of me that just wonders what evil
forces would jump in in the void. Well and that with anything, Yeah,

(01:20:45):
it is so, but I don'tknow if we want to like if
there's if there's something there, youknow, good idea, and you know,
I don't want to have I mean, here be paralyzing. And that's
the thing. I readily admit thatthat is a fear driven response. Evil
has always existed, sin, sin, We've talked about that. There's always

(01:21:10):
been bad people with evil intentions.I just feel like it's more brazen and
to a certain extent, almost codifiedlegally. Now that's my fear. What
would be codified legally A worse option? Oh, something worse? When does

(01:21:32):
the government not step in to filla void in the worst possible way.
I'm just anyway. Thomas Massey,representative from Kentucky, who at times strikes
me as a very thoughtful, deepthinker and at other times he's one of

(01:21:55):
the best that you know, theGOP has they said there are times,
but there's times over the years thathe said and believed things that I just
question. But I digress. It'san idea. I think the overall sentiment

(01:22:16):
is the FED is just kind oflike killing us with monetary policy. How
they doing on inflation? Right Norway, Spain, Ireland going to recognize Palestinian
statehood. That's a winning combination rightthere. As a result, State Representative

(01:22:38):
Randy fine of Palm Bay's Republican isgoing to introduce legislation adding any country that
recognized Palestine to Florida's list of whatare called scrutinized countries, which would restrict
and limit the ability of the stateto do business with Ireland, Spain,
and Norway. Court blocking Florida's lawagainst transporting illegal aliens. ACLU, celebrating

(01:23:10):
Judge Roy Altman, US District CourtSouthern District of Florida, said it's the
preemptive authority of the federal government togovern immigration policy, and the transportation of
illegal immigrants aspect of the Florida lawis not enforceable. He granted a preliminary
injunction against the law. It willbe appealed. It just strikes me as

(01:23:32):
almost almost underscoring my point a fewmoments ago about the federal government. We're
now debating who can determine where peoplewho are legally in this country can go.
It's like they where's the issue ofstanding? You don't have standing,

(01:23:59):
you're not agal citizen is, butthey're afforded rights, but they don't have
standing because they're not legally in thiscountry. This is what I'm talking about.
It's nuts. It's the Morning Showwith Prestin Scott on news Radio one
hundred point seven w FLA. There'ssome fascinating pieces being written on the lady

(01:24:34):
that Robert F. Kennedy Junior hasselected as his running mate for vice president.
She's something. I'll let you decidewhat that something is, but OMG,
she's who. She's something. ButNewsmax pushed this out out. He

(01:25:03):
was RFK Junior doing an interview withJohn Boyd, Junior, founder of the
National Black Farmers Association. My discernometerclicks immediately when I see white, black,
Hispanic, Asian, whatever, becauseimmediately it's a it's an organization based

(01:25:29):
solely on skin color. And Ireally thought we were going to get past
all that anyway. So he's inthis group, So what do you think
he's going to do. He's apolitical candidate. You need toss him a
bone. He said he would giveblack farmers five billion dollars in reparations,

(01:25:56):
quoting that five billion is not moneythat is an entitlement. It's money that
was alone that black farmers were entitledto way back when and was stolen from
them through discrimination. Now, Boydhad previously sued the Biden administration for failing
to provide reparations to assist socially disadvantagedfarmers and ranchers. Money was meant for

(01:26:28):
the American Rescue Plan, but wasblocked after white farmers said it violated their
constitutional rights, which it does.The money was later put into the Inflation
Reduction Act, with two billion goingto farmers who faced discrimination, three billion
going to the Agriculture Department to disperseto financially struggling farmers. Regardless of race,

(01:26:51):
Kennedy promised to get rid of thepeople who held up the plan.
Well, just let you know thisis what people stand for. You decide
what you think. Kennedy is likelyto be a viable alternative in the minds

(01:27:13):
of some on ballots for the presidentialrace. He will not be in a
primary, his name will most likelyappear on most state ballots. There are
a lot of things to like aboutRobert F. Kennedy, if nothing else.
The enemy of my enemy is myfriend type thought process. But understand

(01:27:39):
that he's still out there. He'san older school liberal as opposed to the
modern day illiberal. As of rightnow, he is qualified for Texas,

(01:28:00):
Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, in Oklahoma. So far that obviously
won't get it done, but Isuspect he will. He appears to be
getting enough signatures for New Hampshire,Nevada, Hawaii, California, Sorry,
uh, North Carolina, Idaho,Nebraska, Iowa, and Ohio. He
already was in California, so we'llsee forty six minutes past the hour.

(01:28:25):
Wait, do you hear what adaredevil did? Crazy? You hear the
word daredevil and obviously I mean devil? All right, Sometimes it's just craziness.

(01:28:57):
I remember having Nick will End onthe show, had him on several
times, had him on before hecrossed Niagara falls on a on a tightrope,
and I mean, you know,he's obviously of the famous will End
of family. And not all ofthem died of natural death, some died

(01:29:19):
falling. You know, it's it'scrazy stuff. A guy named Ben Schneider
goes by the uh the name RecklessBen on YouTube. It's kind of an
interesting dude because he's he's actually involvedin something called the mccamei Manor. You
heard of it? No, TheMcCamey Manor is a haunted house that a

(01:29:45):
guy runs and people come out injured, people come out having been tortured,
and police can't press charges. Imean, it's a story. It is
a big time story because they havenothing to prove that something happened inside.

(01:30:09):
They can't prove it, and thisguy, reckless Ben is in the midst
of basically trying to get the guybehind it shut down, who openly brags
about they're not getting me. Theydon't have any evidence, and he tortures
people. He has videos of it, but those videos have been protected until

(01:30:33):
recently apparently, and so police mayin fact have the break in these years
of tortures that have gone on inthis home. Anyway, Ben decides to
walk a tightrope between a couple ofabandoned skyscrapers in Los Angeles. It's a
vacant development called Ocean Wide Plaza.They're called the Graffiti Towers because of the

(01:30:56):
artwork covering the buildings, and sohe does a free walk across a one
inch rope between the buildings forty storieshigh, and it's on YouTube. It's
just like, it's crazy. It'sjust crazy. But here's what made me
laugh. And look, I canlaugh at stuff like this. They got
up there using distraction to get intothe building. We pretended we were a

(01:31:20):
religious cult, and we got twentypeople to all hold signs saying Jesus saves.
The signs were blocking the police pointof view, so we just hopped
the fence and up we went.So he did it, and it's videotaped
and it's out there, and soyeah, but it's this other story I'm

(01:31:41):
now interested in that I just kindof stumbled upon. But anyway, Yeah,
so they go brought to you byBarono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show on WFLA. All right, we started with the versus from tewod
Corinthia or two Corinthians one versus three, sorry versus three and four. That's

(01:32:08):
where we began the program. Today, Big Stories Today we talked about the
effort to abolish the Fed Reserve,Congressman Thomas Massey out of Kentucky court blocking
Florida's law against transporting illegal aliens.So even though we have another story that
we talked about today where parents don'thave standing because they're not victims and they're

(01:32:32):
worried about a school district hiding transgendertransformation from parents, and the parents can't
do anything because they don't have standing, Yet we're allowing illegal aliens to have
some kind of standing even though they'rehere illegally. It's just it's crazy.
Norway, Spain, Ireland recognizing Palestinianstatehood. Florida Representative Randy Fine filing legislation

(01:32:58):
to push back on that. Femalegolfers speaking out because a male golfer has
is one step, one person awayfrom making it to the US Women's Opening
golf. It's a dude, HayleyDavidson. He can have all the surgeries
he wants. I think the ladyput it really well. You can newter
a dog, but it's still amale. Talked about refuge house, spent

(01:33:24):
a lot of time talking about that. Really really disappointed there FSU baseball tomorrow
morning. Softball tonight against Oklahoma.You can watch that probably on the tube.
And four hundred dollars for a singlepineapple. Yeah, luxury fruit is
a thing. And then the babeRuth hauled shot Jersey being auctioned in August back tomorrow
