Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show. I'm Grant Allan,
filling in for Preston taking some time off. It is Thursday, December.
That no, what am I looking at? Good night, Irene.
Why did I write Thursday? I'm looking at my old
rundown It's Monday, But I did get the date right.

(00:35):
It's December ninth. What a start. Monday, Monday, episode number
ten of The Morning Show without Preston Scott forty six
days until America is no longer held hostage, and today's

(00:55):
going to be a great show. Preston again is taking
some time off and I got the chance to fill in.
There's no shortage of news from over the weekend. Everything
that's been popping off in Syria that's kind of dominated
the news headlines. I'm gonna try and diversify the news
story that that's definitely the big one, that just about

(01:18):
everything everyone is talking about right now. But I'm going
to try my best in selecting stories to talk this
morning that are still kind of top of mind, especially
heading into the Christmas season, especially, you know, news during
this time tends to slow down a little bit, but
no shortage of things, at least today. It's just us today,

(01:44):
No guess, just myself, Jose over there in Studio one A.
I'm in Studio one B. And we've got loads of
things to talk about. But first we have to start
off with start off with scripture. And this is from John,
chapter fifteen, verse five and verse eight. These are Christ's words.

(02:06):
I am the vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides
in Me and I in Him, He it is that
bears much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing.
There's something to be said for good works, and not
in the justification sense, but good works and kind of
what they are. The Bible describes all of our even

(02:31):
good works, outside of Christ to be but filthy rags.
And that's what this passage from John fifteen is talking about.
For a part from me, you can do nothing. There's
It's not just that that God orchestrates every breath that
we breathe, and every drop of blood that pumps through

(02:52):
our veins is upheld by Him and his power, but
that all that we could do with our own own
earthly strength is fraught unless it be in him. Christ
is the true vine, the true olive tree. From old
to new, it's been one olive tree. It was christ

(03:14):
the entire time, ten minutes after the hour history segment
coming up next. I'm Grant Allen, and this is the
Morning Show. This is my first time getting to host

(03:40):
the show with Christmas themes. I haven't gotten to do
that yet. This is a special tree. Jose's got the
Santa hat and another item he's wearing that we're gonna
talk about later because I told him we got to
talk about this Christmas sweater here. But first, this day

(04:02):
in history from the American Patriots Almanac. This is kind
of tech news actually, as with many recent innovations, This
day Monday, December ninth. As with many recent innovations, the
genesis of the Internet lies in US technology developed during
the Cold War, in the days when the United States
and USSR were racing to the moon. The DoD created

(04:25):
the Advanced Research Projects Agency ARPA to spearhead cutting edge
military research. Scientists at ARPA wanted to find a way
to connect computers located hundreds of thousands of miles from
each other. In nineteen sixty nine, the ARPA Neet was born,
linking for computers at universities in California and Utah. So yeah,

(04:47):
it's interesting you had computers, but they weren't on what
we would now consider a network where they would be
able to communicate with each other. Now everything's linked through
the Internet. The ARPINET slowly grew during the seventies. By
nineteen eighty one, more than two hundred computers were linked
to this network. By that time is no longer limited

(05:08):
to military projects. The Defense Department and the National Science
Foundation opened access to the broader scientific and academic community.
Then came along the personal computer. In the eighties and nineties,
millions of PCs appeared in homes and offices. In nineteen
eighty nine, British computer scientist Tom berners Lee led the

(05:29):
development of a system that allows people to navigate the
Internet using pages of text and images on a computer screen,
a creation that he dubbed the World Wide Web. Corporations
got busy connecting computers around the globe. By the dawn
of the twenty first century, and estimated three hundred and
sixty million people had access to the Internet, and by
two thousand and nine that number had reached to one

(05:50):
point seven billion. And I imagine in the last fifteen
years that number of connectivity total devices is I don't
even know what the number would be if it was
one point seven billion in two thousand and nine. I
don't know is is is half the world connected now?

(06:12):
Like how many people are in the in the world
eight billion? Are we to four? Maybe between three and
four billion? I don't know that. That's my guess because
it's been an exponential increase. Do you remember did you
ever have I remember having a I was I had
a computer room. I remember that being a big deal
or you know, like it was like the office, but

(06:34):
they would call it the computer room. Did you have
anything like that?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
No, no, no, no, no, no computer rooms growing up?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I remember I remember that it was It was like
fun because you go sit at the computer. And the
thing about those old kind of pecs from like the
nineties and early two thousands, the speakers, for whatever reason
knew when a phone call was coming in on a
cell phone, like it it could the speakers would like

(07:02):
that's just like burned into my memory. Other days in history.
On this day in seventeen seventy five, Patriot forces defeat
a British and Loyalist forced force at Great Bridge, Virginia
during the British out driving the British out of Virginia
for the earliest part of the First War for Independence.
In eighteen thirty five, a Texan army captures San Antonio

(07:25):
and their war for independence from Mexico. In nineteen oh seven,
Christmas Seals go on sale in Wilmington, Delaware to help
fight tuberculosis. That's a wild story. And in this day
in nineteen ninety three, the military blows up the first
five hundred minute Man two missiles designated for destruction under

(07:48):
an arms control treaty. That was the scale down in
the post Cold War era. Feels like, you know, a
different time, especially in light of the news over the
weekend and armaments and things like that. Feels a timely
reflection on history. Sixteen minutes after the hour, we're gonna

(08:09):
I gotta break down the college football bracket. Next, Operations
Spirit of Christmas is still going strong. Preston Wanton reminded

(08:33):
me that this is obviously still Operation Thanksgiving, Operations, Spirit
of Christmas and the Morning Shows partnership and promotion of
Humble House Ministries. You can go to Humblehouseministries dot org.
That is the organization in Panama City and Tallahassee. They're
local in both markets. Here to support locally become potentially

(08:56):
you know, you can do a one time generous donation.
They are transition homes for young women who are going
through things like recovering from addiction and you know, all
sorts of different you know, livestock. They're trying to get
on the right path. It's a ministry discipleship and they've
done great work. I've been familiar with what they do

(09:17):
for not just here on the Morning show, but like
here in Tallahassee. I've I've just been familiar with what
they do and I know that it's successful. It works.
So go to Humble Housemistries dot org. You'll be able
to see the Panama City tab the Tallahassee tab click
either one and follow the instructions from there. Pretty self explanatory.

(09:39):
But we would vastly and very much appreciate it if
you would take time to consider some end of year
donations end of your giving to Humble Houseministries dot org. Yesterday,
the college football playoff bracket was announced and it I

(10:00):
had to sit on it for a little while. Right,
So this isn't a sports show, but when you have
something like this, it's the first twelve team playoff bracket
that was released. I kind of feel obligated to, you know,
bring it up because it's, you know, it's big news.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
It was.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
It was a big news from some big news from
yesterday and brutal joke I heard yesterday. I was like, wait,
so Florida State didn't make it. It just just just brutal.
I'm sorry, but it was funny. And there are lots

(10:37):
of ways in which you could break down the bracket,
and I don't think that there's one overarching angle, but
there is like an umbrella angle. The umbrella angle is
that I don't necessarily know if this is the playoff
Committee's fault, but it's the four Matt's fault, and the

(11:02):
committee kind of did exactly what I expected them to do. However, personally,
I wasn't sure what the method that they would take
this year. What I mean is I personally thought that
they were going to give that final slot to Alabama

(11:23):
instead of SMU. I was actually really surprised to see
SMU there. But Alabama having a pretty significant loss and
SMU having no significant losses. I mean, yeah, they're not
they're not perfect, but they didn't have a an incredibly
poor loss to a team that they weren't supposed to beat.

(11:45):
SMU kind of just had, you know, they beat their
teams that they were favored to win, and that's it.
There wasn't It was just kind of an expected schedule
for SMU. But SMU got that final slot and it's
kind of it's just wild to see, you know, a
team as low ranked as Clemson, who's sixteen in the

(12:06):
final College Football Playoff rankings, make it in as the
twelve seed. They're the lowest seed, So what this tells
us is that they clearly favor wanted to concoct some
sort of method that made conference championship games still work,
still be valid. However, even then, Oregon, even though they're undefeated,

(12:30):
number one overall seed, the gauntlet that they're likely going
to have to endure in order to win a championship
is incredibly challenging. Meanwhile, Penn State, who doesn't really have
a marquee win on their schedule, they beat all the
teams that they were supposed to beat, and in the
top matchups they lost. But Penn State gets this ideal

(12:51):
position as the sixth seed where they play SMU and
then they'll play a bowl game neutral site against Boise State.
Are they kind of like a lock for a semi
final for the final four? Feels like it. And they
lost their conference championship game. That was the reward for losing.

(13:11):
And then Oregon gets the winner of Ohio State Tennessee
in the Rose Bowl, which many people are thinking Ohio
State and Ohio State is a natural fit for the
Rose Bowl. You know, the Big Ten fan bases are
used to going to the Rose Bowl. It's a traditional
matchup there. And then they would have to potentially play
Texas in Dallas and then I don't know, Georgia in

(13:33):
Atlanta in the National championship game. That's the reward that
Oregon had been dealt for going undefeated. It's not the
committee's fault. This is just a format problem. But what
happens with the inevitability. It feels like that if you
just seed the field, if you just seed the twelve teams, inevitably,

(13:54):
conference championship games are going to be diminished. Now, Alabama
fans and Georgia fans are always going to care about
winning the Big Ten title or excuse me, SEC title game.
Ohio State and Penn State fans, Michigan fans are always
going to care about winning the Big Ten title game
because it's close in proximity, it's regional, it's part of
the part of the tradition. But it feels like an

(14:17):
inevitability that we're just running towards this, you know, loss
of like what made college football, college football conferences and
regional ties and localities. It just feels kind of sad.
It's a flawed format, and I think this is probably
just a one year rental. Twenty minutes after the hour,

(14:38):
here on the Morning Show, thirty six minutes after the hour,
I'm Grant Allen filling in for Preston here on the

(14:59):
Morning Show in Studio one B, Jose and Studio one A,
and it's time for the big story in the press box.
I've kind of gone back and forth. There were two
big ones that I saw trending, and this is the
one that I kind of wanted to hit. The two
big ones really were and they'll come up throughout the
show repeatedly. And it was Trump's interview with Meet the

(15:25):
Press over the weekend and talking about immigration, border security,
mass deportations. That was a big story. And then the
other one was what happened over the weekend in Syria,
rebels taking over the capital city of Damascus, driving Asad,

(15:45):
his family and the Assad regime out. So the Assad
regime has fallen in Syria. That was the other big story.
I'm gonna get to that one, the Siria story, because
it's a little more I don't know. I'm much more
interested personally in discussing the domestic issues, like of what

(16:09):
Trump was talking about with mass migration, mass deportations. Those
interest me much more just from a from a natural
philosophical level. It's closest in proximity. We're Americans, this is
these are our issues that we're currently facing. I feel

(16:31):
less inclined to always feel like I have to comment
on something you know, from half a world away. Like
I admittedly the the whole story of South Korea that
was under martial law and then it wasn't under martial law.
That whole story kind of went in one ear out
the other. Not because I don't want to stay informed

(16:54):
to what's going on, but I'm really trying to live
out to this idea, this kind of localist ideal. Of
the things that I spend the most time thinking about
are the things that directly impact me by close proximity.
I don't want to be like, here's what the left does.

(17:15):
The left they throw the Ukraine flag in their bio
and you know, they feel the need to become this
expert in foreign policy in Ukraine in the history of
the russ people, and how then the russ you know,
in the the nineteenth century split from the Russians and
then the Ukrainians and then the two languages diverge. But

(17:38):
under I don't feel the need to necessary talk about
that all the time because it's not very close in proximity. However,
the current power brokers in Washington are currently making it
our issue. So I talk about it. But here's Donald Trump.
I'll I'll play this and then we'll go to commercial

(17:59):
break and break it down a little more. Here's Donald
Trump on Meet the Press.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
I ask you about some of your other promises on
this topic. You've promised to end birthright citizenship on day one.
Is that still your plan?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
The fourteenth Amendment though, says that quote all persons born
in the United States are citizens. Can you get around
the fourteenth Amendment.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
With an exective change? Would maybe have to go back
to the people, But we have to end it with
the only country that has.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
It through an executive action.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
You know, we're the only country that has it. Do
you know if somebody sets a foot, just a foot,
one foot, you don't need to on our land. Congratulations,
you are now a citizen of the United States of America. Yes,
we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Nor executive action.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
Well, if we can through executive action. I was going
to do it through executive action, but then we had
to fix COVID first. To be honest with you, we
have to end it.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Forty minutes after the hour, that was President Trump. I'll
break that down give my thoughts next time. In the break,
Jose reminded me of another story that might be worth
a segment. That was Daniel Penny those charges being dismissed,

(19:14):
and then the other story out of New York, the
man hunt continues for the United Healthcare CEO killer. That
when I saw the clip of that video, I was like,
am I watching some like network CBS show? Is this
like NCIS or something like that? Because it was wild. Anyway,

(19:36):
what I said, I was going to discuss Trump's video
from last segment that I played of his comments and
his his analysis of how he interacts with these members
of the press is really brilliant. I'm surprised that he

(19:58):
gave the interview. I wouldn't. I just maybe you feel
like an obligation is like, Okay, I'm going to be
president again, so I should probably at least talk to
NBC News. But I wouldn't want to. But his his
answer there of like, oh, are you going to do

(20:22):
it through exact executive actions? It doesn't. Actually, in this case,
the outcome is way more important. The mass deportations and
ending this in birthright citizenship is that is the outcome

(20:43):
that is much needed. The way we get there, I
guess we'll figure out. I have no preference. I just
want to see it happen. But his answer of you
know where the only country that has it? You know,
you step one foot It's I've seen like or In McIntyre.
He's one of my favorite podcasters. I'm going to mention
an article that he talked that he wrote and he

(21:05):
penned over at the Blaze. But he says this all
the time on his streams that I have listened to.
He was like, if you kiss the magic dirt, you
can become an American. You ask the question what is
an American? It's everyone in the whole world that just
hasn't shown up yet. It's like, hold on, no, the Founders.

(21:25):
I know, everyone wants to invoke the Founding Fathers and
claim them as part of their argumentation. In this case,
I truly believe what they say in the preamble to
the Declaration of Independence. Who did they say that they
were undergoing this kind of project of independence and this
American project? Who did they say they were doing it for?

(21:46):
To ourselves and our posterity? What is posterity? It meant
their descendants that there is this kind of general understanding
that did take place in America, of kind of an ethnogenesis.
There was a new kind of forged struggle and American
experience that forged previously antagonistic populations. You know, you had

(22:10):
some Germans, you had some Swedes, you had some English,
you had some Scots. But by and large all of
those different people groups, those old allegiances and those old
world conflicts did fall away a little bit in part
of this new struggle, this new common goal as being
an American. So there is an assimilating feature, of course,

(22:34):
but by and large, asking the question what is an American,
there's usually a much clearer answer. There's a closeness in proximity,
and then the further you get out, the less it becomes.
Because there are some that are inheritors of a political tradition.
Our rights are inherited as part of a historic English
common law tradition. And so with Donald Trump saying that

(22:55):
if you just step one foot, you become an American,
just like that, it's like, well, you can have a nationality,
you can have a citizenship, but it doesn't answer the
question of like what is an American? What does it
mean to become an American? There's always an assimilating feature.
There is a host culture. There are cultures that are

(23:16):
from around the world that ideally when they do come
to the United States, there's an assimilating feature that goes
on here that causes the new identity to become the
thing that guides them that they are in this new land.
The old identities pass away, and the common culture is

(23:38):
the overarching culture that dominates. Basically social cohesion. We're allowed
to have high trust society because we generally all assent
to these kinds of things that we all kind of
come from a certain way of life, background, whatever, And
there's this peace and harmony that comes from having even yes,

(24:01):
outside populations be able to come in and enjoin to
the norms. But that's the important part is that when
there is immigration and assimilation, they have to assimilate into
some sort of norm You can't just have an entire one, guided,
one unitary state like we have now with who knows however,

(24:24):
this isn't the difference is This is like the difference
between you know, one vastly different Western canonized tradition and
all the other traditions that have no commonality with them
like that. How does that work? How does a nation
function that way? And we're seeing now in the Year
of Our Lord twenty twenty four that by and large

(24:46):
it doesn't work that well. Forty seven minutes after the
hour final segment in our number one here at the
Bran Show, Preston left me this note here on the
dash on the board as a reminder to let you

(25:12):
all know that Monday night and Tuesday night at seven pm,
admission is free at Childs for Great Holiday Concert. The band, orchestra,
choruses and guitar ensemble will be performing, and so if
you want to hear the sounds of the season. I
want to go here some wonderful music. You can do

(25:32):
that tonight and tomorrow night, seven pm. Childs in the auditorium.
It's impossible, impossible to miss. It's right there at the
entrance at the front of the school. So wanted to
let you know about that coming up. And so you know,
there are gonna be lots of things like that coming around.

(25:53):
You know, you'll have Christmas ballets and Christmas concerts and
those are always fun things if you're looking for something
to do, you know, those are those are local events
that you can absolutely support. It would be a good time.
So I mentioned in the Big Stories that the other

(26:13):
major story from the weekend that needs to be discussed
is obviously the fall of the Assad regime. Allegedly, Assad
and his family have landed in Moscow that they are
seeking asylum. There's a lot going on here. It's kind

(26:41):
of hard where to begin. Well, I'll start here. Actually.
President Biden said this on Sunday afternoon press conference. This
is the Fox News article that says President Biden states
that the United States will support Syria's and neighboring nations

(27:02):
and help bolster stability in the region after dictator Bashar
al Assad fled the country amid in ongoing civil war,
Biden said, quote, at long last, the Assad regime has fallen.
This regime brutalized and tortured and killed literally one hundreds
of thousands of insocant Syrians. A fall of the regime
is a fundamental act of justice. It's a moment of
historic opportunity for long suffering people of Syria to build

(27:23):
a better future for their proud country. It's also a
moment of risk and uncertainty. End quote. So which is it?
Because everyone knew that the rebel forces that were attempting
to push Asad and his regime out of Syria were
al Qaeda adjacent? Or isis adjacent? Right? Is this better?

(27:57):
And what role have we as the United States played
in in destabilizing another regime? Now, let me first say
I don't think that Asad is really all that great
of a guy, but it just makes you wonder if
you replace one guy and the immediate vacuum that gets
filled is al Qaeda? What what what is our purpose

(28:21):
now with United States foreign policy? Are we just the
region destabilizers? Because that's what happened in Iraq soa'm Hussein
goes out and then within a decade isis comes in.
You just something fills the vacuum, and it's always the
most extreme thing that fills that vacuum. I don't know this.

(28:45):
This is this is com Chrismas Tree, seven five Eastern,
six five Central. I'm Grant Allen, and welcome to The

(29:09):
Morning Show without Preston Scott, episode number ten. Here on Monday,
December ninth. Jose over there having a good time talking
about the news of the day. More news and this
is from Fox News. Donald Trump says that he will

(29:32):
pardon January six ers on day one, acting very quickly.
Trump also said that the people on the J six
committee belong in jail. Now we're talking. Now, we're making progress.
President elect Donald Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker, as part

(29:53):
of the I Guess extended interview that he gave to
NBC that I played a clip from last Hour as
part of the Big story in the press Box. In
the same interview, he said he wanted to pardon the
JA sixers on the first day of his ADMIN and
said that people on the J six Committee in Congress
belonged to jail. I'm gonna look at everything. We'll look

(30:13):
at individual cases, Trump told Welker. But I'm going to
be acting very quickly. First day. I'm looking first day.
These people have been there. How long is it three
four years? They've been in there for years. They're in
a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn't even be allowed to
be open. Welker also asked about President Biden considering issuing

(30:36):
preemptive pardons to some of Trump's opponents, like Liz Cheney
or Senator elect Adam Shift. Well, what did Liz Cheney do?
Why would President Biden need to issue any pardon to
Liz preemptive pardon to Liz Cheney? What did she do?
I saw the same thing about with Fauci. Well, what

(30:56):
issuing a pardon to Anthony Fauci preemptively? I saw that
article floating around. Well, what did Anthony Fauci do?

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Hm.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Welker asked if he would direct his FBI director to
send anyone on the J six Committee, such as former
Liz Chaining, to jail. He said, no, not at all.
I think they'll have to look at that, but I'm
not going to I'm not going to focus. I'm going
to focus on drill, Baby, Drill. His lines are hilarious.
So it's been pretty apparent since let's call it Epiphany

(31:36):
twenty twenty one, because that's when it happened that there's
been a coordinated attack. We know J six was used
as a justification for all kinds of crackdown. It was
twenty twenty one, and so we were still in the

(31:58):
throes of COVID, still dealing with that at that time,
and you could call it weaponization. I know that term
gets kind of floated around quite a bit, but I
can't think of a better word to describe how every
apparatus of the federal regime, whether it be the FBI

(32:19):
cracking down on the J sixers, these political prisoners that
they are. I kind of understand President Trump's point two
of just wanting to move on that justice is actually
the retribution that he talked about. So that's actually part

(32:41):
of the article that I want to share from oron
McIntyre coming up and has something to do with that.
I thought it was really astute how he pointed it out.
Part of the calculus is like from twenty sixteen, right
when President Trump first got elected and he joked with

(33:05):
Hillary Clinton on stage, you'd go to jail and you know,
never did you know there was nothing that ended up
coming of that. There's a calculus is it? Is it
worth it? I waffle back and forth sometimes I guess

(33:27):
I land somewhere on the if you can, if you
can pin him to something, do it. But there's there's
a whole new series of focus that needs to come
into play with a Trump administration. Like we've got like

(33:49):
every apparatus that we've got to save, we've got to
overhaul every federal department or abolish them wholesale. That would
be my But if you don't abolish them, you have
to overhaul them to your ends. In a way, Donald
Trump is going to have to be a type of
right wing Roosevelt. FDR. FDR and his New Deal, his

(34:13):
sweeping bureaucratic regime, completely shifted the way American life changed
toward the left. In a way, Donald Trump may have
to be a type of right wing Roosevelt, or you
purge the bad actors and you get our guys installed.
Easier said than done, because there's lots of middle management

(34:36):
that have been career bureaucrats living in Fairfax County, Virginia
that are the you know, these middle manager types that
are going to be without jobs, and if you just
how do you keep the train running with positions unfilled?
I think you can. Obviously you don't have to refill
all of them, but that's part of the task at hand.

(35:00):
Multiple theories going around about what to do. How much
do you abolish? I think you can do quite a
bit of the things that you keep around. How do
you ensure that they are in fact our guys and
not subversives? Eleven minutes after the hour here in the
morning short comet enjoy. I've been rather disappointed actually in

(35:42):
the comments that I saw by Senator Ran Paul News
last week that was going viral a little bit in
the Twitter world and the ex world related to this story.
I've got on my screen in front of me illegal
aliens already so deporting in anticipation of second Trump presidency.

(36:03):
Let's go with less than two months before President elected
Donald Trump returns to the White House, a number of
illegal aliens attempting enter to the United States are already
abandoning their attempts to cross the border and are returning
to their home countries. This is originally reported by Fox
News up to one hundred. That's not a very big number,
but we'll go with it. Up to one hundred illegal

(36:25):
aliens in Mexico have requested voluntary return to their countries
of origin, according to Mexican officials, You would hope that
even though it's in the what millions of people who
have streamed across our border, that though one hundred is
a small number, you hope that that's like the tip
of the iceberg, that it's just kind of like a

(36:45):
microcosm of a larger trend. The illegals in question are
either paying the costs of return out of their own
pocket or seeking state funds to do so, which is
ironic Mexico's already paying for it. Many of the illegals
specifically cided Trump's impending return to office and his plans
to crack down on immigration. So apparently this is a

(37:09):
quote from an illegal. I cry every day and ask
God to take me back. I don't want to be
here anymore. This is horrible. That's the kind of America
I want to live in. I want to live in
the kind of America where the illegals are praying to
God that they would leave, that they would be delivered
that's the kind of America I want to live in.

(37:32):
But I was really disappointed last week when I saw
this thing going viral about Senator rand Paul. Was all
of a sudden, and I like him. I like Rand.
I think he's one of the most consistent. Him and
Thomas Massey, they got a good thing going in Kentucky.
Yes they are Libertarians, but this is my This is
actually exactly why I am not one. Rand Paul said

(37:58):
that he was a against or maybe it was a
formal vote, and it wasn't a formal vote. It couldn't
have been anyway. He had come out and said that
he is against using the United States military to follow
through on the mass deportation plan. And I'm like, why,

(38:19):
give me one good reason. And they always say, well,
it's it might be used against Yeah, no kidding, it
could be used against us. You're kidding me, right, Yeah,
of course it could. But that's done. And that's not
the point here. The point is politics. Politics is really

(38:40):
boiled down to friend enemy. In the United States military,
if there's any one purpose of having a standing army,
which is already outside the bounds of what is traditionally
understood in English common law usually and I said this
last time when I hosted the show in English common
law Civilizations for a long time until the eighteen hundreds,

(39:06):
anytime the United States, because we are downstream from English
common law, we are a part of that tradition. When
there's war, you would muster the troops and then you
would disband the troops upon the end of the conflict.
But if you're going to justify any kind of standing army,
of which we have one, we've had one for basically
one hundred years plus, so there's not really going back

(39:28):
to that old tradition. The cat. You can't get that
toothpaste back in the tube, is what I'm saying. So
if you're gonna have one, and we do, if you're
gonna have a standing army, what purpose do they serve
other than the protection and mass deportations are absolutely a
part of that. This is why I can't be a libertarian.
They get in their own way so much because of Listen,

(39:53):
it's fine to have your principles, but I would to win.
Like you could say, oh, we're not gonna do this, hey,
then like get out of the way. This is what
Sam France has called in his book Kind of like
in the nineties, or maybe it was in the two thousands.
Much of the American right, this includes the GOP, they

(40:14):
are beautiful losers. They love to say we're sticking to
our principles as America continues down a progressive hellhole for
decades since absolutely since the sixties, and there's no been
substantive formative right wing that has actually driven the left
out of power. I'm late, seventeen minutes after the hour.

(40:38):
I gotta keep myself tight. Is getting out of hand.
President Trump is sticking by Pete Hegseth is from the

(41:00):
Federalist President ELEC. Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Pete
hagg Seth's nomination to become the next Sect Deaf on Friday,
putting any GOP senator seeking to tank the Army veterans
confirmation on notice. Trump wrote on truth Social that Pete
hegg Seth is doing very well. His support is strong
and deep, much more so than the fake news you
would believe. He was a great student Princeton, Harvard ed

(41:23):
educated with the military state of mind, he will be fantastic,
high energy Sect deaf one who leads with Charisman skill.
Pete is a winner there's nothing that can be done
to change that. So this comes as the rumors were
speculating that Governor Ron DeSantis was being floated. I think

(41:45):
if heg Seth isn't confirmed and DeSantis becomes Secretary of Defense,
I think the cascading effect of how that affects Florida
politics obviously would be catastrophics not the right word, but
like impactful is kind of an understatement, right, I don't

(42:08):
know what Florida politics quite looks like in a post
descientist governor ship. I don't, I don't. I don't think anybody.
I mean, I'm sure there are some people that have
an inclination, but it just doesn't feel like that there

(42:29):
is a successor. Right with Donald Trump selecting JD. Vance
as his vice presidential pick. Trump's also close encounter with
meeting Christ himself escaping a bullet, you know, that close
from his head probably causes you to realize, oh, I
need to think past, you know, big picture, what's gonna

(42:51):
happen after I'm gone? And so that that feels like
what the Vance pick was and I and Florida doesn't
seem to have that right now. I don't necessarily think
maybe I don't know, Maybe it doesn't need it. Maybe
an open kind of free for all is kind of
where we're going. Where Jeanette Nunez and Ashley Moody and

(43:15):
you know, various other state lawmakers viye for the Republican
bid for governor after DeSantis has gone, if he were
to take the post at sec DEEF, I don't know.
But the Pete Hegseth thing is real interesting because I
saw Wade Stotts, he's a commentator I follow on Twitter.
He said, there's three main tactics that the left has,

(43:36):
the Kennedy, the Kavanaugh, and then there's one more other thing, oh,
the Nixon. That's right, It was the Kennedy, the Kavanaugh,
and the Nixon. Those are the three tactics that are
usually employed against right wing men of power. Kennedy kind
of obvious. Cavanaugh is currently what Pete Hegseath is going through.

(43:59):
Not saying that he didn't have a skeptical past of
kind of less than ideal behavior. Right, He's admitted this.
I watched his interview on the Megan Kelly podcast on YouTube.
I watched his interview. He's repentant for all intents and purposes.
I think everyone that's coming to his defense believes that

(44:21):
he's truly a different man, and I believe him. But
the accusation against him our Kavanaugh esque. We remember the
twenty eighteen Supreme Court Justice confirmation hearings. And then you've
got the other irity for oh, the Nixon, the impeachment
method and by the way, all three of those, the Nixon,

(44:42):
the Kavanaugh, and I keep forgetting them. They've tried with
the Kennedy. They've tried all of them against President Trump.
Just interesting when you think about it that way. But
they're trying to do the Kavanaugh hashtag me too th
for Pete Hegseth, and it's not working. This is another

(45:03):
example I feel like cancel culture is kind of on
its way out. Twenty seven minutes after the hour here
on the Morning Show, We're halfway done.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
You have a story you want to share, write him
at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Thirty six minutes after the hour here on the Morning
Show on Grant Allen and Studio one. B Jose right
there in Studio one, A. Okay, get to the big
story in a minute. Here So tell me a little
bit about the story of the ugly Christmas sweater. It's
so there's there's a cow on it. Take me through. Yeah, yeah,

(46:04):
the cow.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
He actually has a little uh gift bag in his
mouth and you could actually put stuff.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Is that the front pocket in that little present.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
The cow has in his mouth. There's also bells and whatnot. Oh,
I didn't even hear the bells. Yeah, a little disclaimer.
I used to work at Chick fil A and uh
here in Tallahassee and in South Florida for quite some time,
and I was the go to cow mascot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I didn't know that about you. That's some deep jose lore.
Oh yeah, it goes deep.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Yeah. I was the most animated.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Oh I bet you were a crazy cow mascot. Bro.
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
So I did all the events, you know, pretty much
everything because people hated wearing that thing.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Oh I bet, especially in the heat. Yeah for sure,
I bet. Man, that's hilarious. So was that like the
ugly Christmas sweater that that Chick fil A ran one year?

Speaker 2 (46:56):
And no, As a matter of fact, I got it
last night at Walmart. I mean I saw it. I
saw the cow on there. It was twenty one bucks.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
I said, sold, that's hilarious. So they're like loosely related
but not directly related, is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I only got it because
the cows on it and.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
It reminds it dragged your memory of your time when
you were the mascot.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yep, good time.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
That's hilarious. Did you have to be like a certain
height requirement because they're like kind of tall, like right
the mask.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Yeah, yeah, the the it's pretty tall. But yeah, you
could be literally whatever.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Size really and they'll still, you know, you'll still be
able to wear it. Yep.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
If you're too short, then you look like a funky
cow with you know, a big Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
You got this part right, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
I was right there in the threshold.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Well that's great. That's hilarious that we we greeted each
other outside the studio and I'm I'm like, okay, I'm
just gonna wait for you to explain the ugly Christmas sweater.
I've never really had an ugly Christmas sweater. I just
had like a Christmas sweater. It was like this thick,
kind of gray, kind of wolf fabric, and then it

(48:12):
had like a reindeer pattern, you know, like on the front.
It wasn't it wasn't like what you would wear to
the school, you know, ugly Christmas sweater competition. It wasn't that.
I've never really had one. I should find one that's like,
you know, kind of up my alley. I don't know.
But anyway, big story in the press box, Trump aims

(48:33):
to end birthright citizenship, saying that American citizens, so called
American citizens who are here under I guess you call
that like anchor baby whatever, those with family here illegally
may be deported. And this is this is obviously the
it's good to see President Trump who's not like backing

(48:55):
down from this. Adds to the thought that this President
Trump is a different President Trump compared to you know,
when he took office the first time took office the
first go around, and you know, you're you're new to

(49:16):
the whole thing, and you're like, oh wow, there's so
much that I don't know. I guess I'm gonna not
so much of this time. Really feels like that this
is kind of man on a mission after like next year,
by the way, is twenty Like in a few weeks.
It's twenty twenty five, and it was July of twenty

(49:36):
fifteen when Trump came down that escalator. So for the
last ten years, pretty much of the man's life, he's
faced pretty much a daily constant onslaught from his own party,
from the left, yeah, from the entire federal regime.

Speaker 6 (49:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I might imagine he's probably a little bit animated and
ready to get going and just doesn't care anymore, which
is good for us, because a sovereign and executive who
is America First and not beholden to say any kind

(50:20):
of foreign interest is really good news for us. There's
been really no Republican candidate, serious candidate that I really
feel like. Pat Buchanan. Sure, yeah, Pat Buchanan. I've read
a lot of Pat Buchanan since, you know, his presidential

(50:40):
campaign in the nineties and then he had his career
in media, you know, since then, and but by and large,
I really do feel like America First reflects Americans. Forty
one minutes after the hour here in the Morning Show,

(51:10):
here's another clip from President trumpet in that same interview
with NBCs Meet the Press, talking about annexing Mexico and Canada.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
You're subsidizing Canada to the tune of over one hundred
billion dollars a year. We're subsidizing Mexico for almost three
hundred billion dollars. We shouldn't be subsited. Why are we
subsidizing these countries. If we're going to subsidize them, let
her become a state. We're subsidizing Mexico, and we're subsidizing Canada,
and we're subsidizing many countries all over the world. And

(51:47):
all I want to do is I want to have
a level, fast, but fair playing field.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
So that's hilarious by the way that he's just like
casually saying it. And then there were reports of President
Trump like joking with Trudeau recently that we'll just you know,
make you the fifty first state, so, which is hilarious.

(52:15):
And there's only like two provinces in Canada that would
greet us as liberators. It would pretty much be only
Alberta in Saskatchewan that we could turn them into North
Montana and North North Dakota, or we just turn uh
Saskatchewan into North Dakota and then we combine the two

(52:37):
Dakota's here into Megakota. Just an option, you know. So
he's he's so right though when it comes to these
this trade and I mean, there was the joke last
presidential administration that Trump was gonna buy Greenland, And it's

(53:01):
so funny because now like you look online and like
there's actually like legitimate momentum for like, uh can we
like can we uh uh? I know it's kind of taboo,
but I I'm I like the joke, right, But Mexico

(53:23):
would have to be kept. Okay, let's let's work through
the thought experiment. At least I would grant full statehood
to Alberta and Saskatchewan. They're the most right wing conservative
Canadian provinces. Ontario is going to have to be like

(53:46):
only partially admitted right so they're in the American dominion,
but they don't have seats in the Senate. No, no, no,
where there we are. This is this is a ninety
day free trial here, and we would have to do
the same thing for the entire country of Mexico. Ninety
day free trial. Because I don't know if like, like

(54:09):
I know, President Trump jokes and I don't like, there's
no way that anyone is actually serious about this. But
it's actually kind of funny to just work through the
thought experiment. Because in the eighteen forties, for example, there
like James K. Polk I think, was a president that

(54:30):
kind of had a manifest destiny kind of vision that
incorporated most of North America, that would include Canada and Mexico.
And there were numerous thises this concept that happened in
the eighteen forties called filibustering, where kind of these just
gun slingers, these well to do gun slingers Americans, they

(54:51):
were primarily Southerners. They would land, they would take this
battalion of I think one of the most famous billibusters
was William Walker, who attempted to make one of those
Central American countries like an American colony. And so it's
funny because the memes are historical related. Now it's all

(55:13):
in good fun, But wouldn't that be wild, you know,
just by Greenland, make Mexico a part of the American
territories and then admit Canada and all of their provinces.
That'd be hau hilarious. Absolutely, That's at least one way
you deal with the left in Canada. Forty seven minutes

(55:34):
after the hour, here are the Morning Show. We got
more coming up. Did you see the story about the
Pope Mobile. Yes, that's next.

Speaker 4 (55:44):

what they do. So prayerfully consider your contribution at the
end of the year, too Humble House Ministries dot org.

(57:23):
So I mentioned before we went to break from Not
the Bee, Pope Francis debuts and all new, all electric
kid you not Pope mobile in efforts to save the

(57:44):
planet from climate change. You know what it reminds me of.
It reminds me of that scene in the movie Cars,
or maybe it was Cars two or Cars three. I
lost track of how many cars movies there are, and
then they the Planes movie. I've lost track. I'm now
waiting for Trains as the next feature film. But it's

(58:09):
like that one scene where like there's there's a pope car,
like they they cut to this scene and then the
Pope who's depicted as a car is like out in
the middle of the crowd shaking hands, kissing babies or whatever,
and that's what it looks like. It looks like that
scene from Cars. Pope Francis gets first all electric Pope mobile.

(58:35):
They took an all new, all electric g wagon and
shaped it into a Pope mobile because he is a
pope that has been incredibly known for pushing climate related issues.

(58:56):
The car's conversion to electric come as the Pope has
repeatedly urged people worldwide to accept the science of climate
change and work to protect the environment. The Vatican says
it plans to convert all of its vehicles to emission
free options by twenty thirty. This isn't really a Catholic Protestant.

(59:26):
It's not really because you'll find like if the Episcopal
Church or like the Protestant Church had a pope, they
would absolutely do something like this, but probably something to
the nth degree that was like way worse. This isn't
like a religious discussion. The reason I brought this up
but is primarily a reminder to serve that most of

(59:50):
our institutions, including the Top Brass, are wildly, wildly bought
in to the ethos of the day. Always remember that

(01:00:16):
our number three here on episode number ten of The
Morning Show without Preston Scott, I'm Grant Alan here on Monday,
December ninth. You'll hear me say you probably already have
if you've listened to me, as I've filled in for

(01:00:38):
Preston twice in November, once now in December. Currently. I
often use the term the regime to describe what is
in essence the federal government, because it's not just like

(01:00:58):
the federal government. Using the word federal doesn't actually explain
what's going on here. When you use the word federal,
you have to like, if you're going to get technical
with the term federal, that means that there is important
power that is delineated from the top to the bottom. Right.

(01:01:27):
There's yes, we still have our state governors, state legislators
are state government apparatus. Of course we know this, we're
in Tallahassee. But federal doesn't really describe the totalizing because
federal sounds limited to me, and that's not what we have.
Federal sounds like a proper central government that knows its

(01:01:54):
limits and knows when to stop. I remember hearing I
was listening to a podcast and they were explaining just
the success of Thomas Jefferson and his presidency when he
was running for reelection in eighteen oh four. One of

(01:02:14):
the big calling cards of the Jeffersonians as they eventually
became was they did essential work and then they did nothing.
That was legitimately how they sold the vision for reelection
to the people, broadly speaking, was we didn't do anything

(01:02:37):
that's actually, and they thought that was fantastic. Can you
imagine living in such a society where you're like, prove
to me all the things you didn't do, of whether
or not I will vote for you. Again, that's amazing.
That's kind of the ideal. Actually, So I don't use

(01:02:57):
the term federal unless I have to be technical, and
you know, clear the air if you will. I much
rather prefer to use the term regime or the total state,
or any other set of terms that you can come
up with. But regime rolls off the tongue nicely. It's

(01:03:18):
easy to remember. The status of the regime has long
been known, and now it's gotten a little worse in
this respect. The EPA has weapons. Now. This is also
from not the be Biden's EPA just made its first

(01:03:41):
ever climate change arrest. This is a crazy quote. This
is an excerpt. The EPA worked to implement the American
Innovation and Manufacturing Act, which requires the agency to reduce
hydroflural carbons, a synthetic compound commonly used for refrigeration or

(01:04:02):
air conditioning, by eighty five percent by the year twenty
thirty six. The AIM Act led to the arrest of
Michael Hart of San Diego in March on charges related
to smuggling potent greenhouse gases. Highlighted in the EPA report.
The charges marked the first ever greenhouse gas related arrest
issued under the AIM Act, but, according to an EPA

(01:04:24):
press release from earlier this year, not the best says
in bold typeface, it will not be the last. Do
you believe that this was out of time when it
was a you may recall from over the summer that
part of the Democrat campaign and the next you know,

(01:04:48):
after the inauguration, if the Democrats were going to win,
that not only was the IRS going to be expanded
and have an increased budget, but they were allocating resources
in the budget for weaponry for the IRS. So this
means the EPA, the EPA is now a law enforcement

(01:05:10):
agency with armed patrolmen. I guess you could say that
are actively making arrests. Now they make one and they
say there are more to come. This is the kind
of thing that has to be gutted and like you can't.
The EPA could very well be one guy with a laptop.
I know he was a joke about the IRS, right,

(01:05:31):
you know, like the flat tax, you know, doing it
on Ted Cruz would say that when he was running
for president in sixteen, you know, if you could do
your taxes on a postcard. Yes, of course that's brilliant, Yes, absolutely,
but it kind of became a joke of like, you know,
one guy with a laptop, no legit. There are federal
agencies that could absolutely be one guy with a laptop

(01:05:52):
and he doesn't even need to go into the office.
Dude could be a remote worker and that's all you need.
The EPA is now making arrests ten eleven minutes after
the hour, here are the morning show. That is the
size of the regime. You've heard me mention the name

(01:06:18):
or in McIntyre before. He's one of the guys that
I rely on for good writing over at the Blaze,
and his podcast is one that I enjoy, and he
penned this article. I mentioned it in the Through the
First Year second hour talking about there's different theories as
to what President Trump should do regarding the current actors

(01:06:41):
that have attempted to railroad him. Does he actively seek
to prosecute those who have targeted or does he say
I have a new mission. These people are irrelevant to me,
They're nothing to me. I'm not going to waste my
breath on him. This article from Orin McIntyre kind of
helps answer that question. Without consequences, the rule of law dies.

(01:07:04):
The subtext healing and unity and a true restoration of
law and order can only happen after the lefts entrenched
influence in the American system is rooted out. The series
of absurdities that have enfolded this week to undermine the
rule of law are so convoluted that it would be
hilarious that the topic were not so grave. McIntyre says.

(01:07:25):
The Biden administration has demonstrated consistent corruption, bringing out outrageous
charges against political opponents, intimidating concerned parents, remember saying that
parent groups were basically domestic extremists who were concerned about
what was being taught in the school system, remember that
from a couple of years ago, and targeting professing Christians.

(01:07:46):
Progressives have gone to extreme lengths, including attempted assassination to
stop Donald Trump from returning to the White House. Fearing
the consequences of their actions, and now President Joe Biden
has issued a sweeping party in for a son hunter
and has reportedly considering additional preemptive pardons to shield his allies,
President Trump must reject calls for surrender from both the

(01:08:07):
establishment left and the establishment right, while ensuring that Democrats
are held accountable for their abuse of power. If he
fails to act, the left will likely become its legal
campaigns the moment Democrats regain power. So here's how he highlights.
And this is why I mentioned the Sam France's Beautiful
Losers quote last hour, because National Review and Politico both

(01:08:32):
published pieces urging President Trump to avoid retaliatory actions if
he returns to office. Now, McIntyre asserts that the word
retaliation is in and of itself a manipulative term, but
the correct word is justice. And McIntyre continues saying without justice,

(01:08:52):
not only will those wronged go without satisfaction, but the
incentives will encourage Democrats to resume their incredibly corr This
is the minute they regain power. We can no longer
think that the left is just going to go like
quietly into the night. The left is going to have
to be delegitimized and put out of power in a

(01:09:16):
very similar way. At the federal government level. There you
go me using the word federal again. In Washington. The
left is going to have to be put away and
caused to be without power. In the same way that
Florida has basically rendered the Florida Democrat Party obsolete. Florida

(01:09:40):
has continued to govern and trend right and threw strong
executive power and executive leadership from the governor and then
the Washington equivalent to the governor would be the President
of the United States. When there's strong leadership at that
position of power, the rest tends to fall in line.
Now that doesn't always happen. We saw President Trump's first

(01:10:03):
administration go horribly wrong with backstabbers and rhinos. But the
point is is that Florida, which was once a purple state,
can be a model of completely overhauling an entire state
from within. Washington has to be that too. It has

(01:10:25):
to be gutted, it has to be completely undone and installed,
have people installed that are ready to work, that are
committed to MAGA, that are committed to America first. And
that's why I've said previously that for a moment, side table,
you know, put to the side of the idea of
the meritocracy. Now we're people of the rights. We believe

(01:10:48):
we want to put people who are most capable in
a good job. We believe that in this moment, in
this time, just for a second, maybe we should primarily
give loyalty for a good look rather than just who
is most qualified, because the people who are usually most qualified,
say for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth is not technically

(01:11:13):
the most qualified, but he's not from the general class,
and that is the point. For a moment, Let's go
with loyalty as the primary barometer as we staff in administration.
Seventeen minutes after the hour, here are the morning Joe.

(01:11:41):
I've mentioned that it feels like with some of the
cabinet selections that Trump has made, drawing heavily from Florida,
and Governor DeSantis himself being kind of like a rumored
Secretary of Defense pick if the heg Seth pick doesn't

(01:12:04):
go through, right, I was talking to my wife and
I've talked to other people about it. The Trump DeSantis
wars of twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three. You know,
you had you had the the pro DeSantis guys on Twitter,
and you had the pro Trump guys on Twitter, and
they were feuding all throughout the presidential primary when DeSantis

(01:12:29):
was running, and it feels like that since Trump is
drawing so much from Florida, and I mentioned already today
that it feels like there's a certain degree of uncertainty
of what Florida's leadership looks like. In a posted DeSantis world,
I it feels like there's an inevitability of twenty twenty

(01:12:51):
two being rehashed coming back that the DeSantis camp and
then the Trump camp are probably gonna have their own
picks for who runs for governor. You know, Trump is
obviously we still have to fit a fill a Senate seat,

(01:13:12):
by the way, because Marco Rubio has been tapped for
Secretary of State. And this from Fox News, Laura Trump
announces that she is stepping down as RNC co chair
amidst talk that she may be up for the Florida
Senate seat. I don't know that's This is the Fox
News article. She announced on x that she would be

(01:13:37):
stepping down as co chair of the RNC. She started
her journey as co chair of the RNC in March
of twenty four and has been widely discussed that she
is considering her potential options as father in law president
Like Donald Trump, once again, we'll take the reins of
the White House, so different positions are are available now,

(01:13:59):
and there has been that she may be considered as
a replacement for Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Last month, she
apparently told Sean Hannity that she would love to serve
the people of Florida and would love to consider filling
the seat if asked. Sounds like conversations may have already
been had the question becomes has Governor Desant has been

(01:14:23):
a part of those conversations. I don't know, I don't know,
but these are I don't want this feud. I don't
like it. I didn't like it in twenty twenty two
because DeSantis was far and away the best executive at
the state level in the country, far and away. He
taught other governors, other red state governors, how to lead.

(01:14:47):
And Donald Trump is clearly the guy for president. So
you know, as a Floridian, you hate to see the
fighting and it hates you hate to see kind of
what it feels like is coming down the pike. But
the big news over the weekend too, and I'll it's
not the big story in the press box. I was

(01:15:08):
talking more. Immigration is the big story in the press box.
But kind of hard to avoid the conflict in Syria,
Asad has escaped, allegedly found refuge in Moscow, and now
Israel has captured Syrian territory after the Assad regime collapsed
and the is in Israel notified the United States in

(01:15:31):
advance about its operation to take control of the buffer
zone and the border with Syria and several other key
locations on the Syrian side.

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
Of the border.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
Apparently this is Mount Herman is part of the now occupied,
but the IDEF took control over the strategic military outpost
on Mount Herman, the highest point of the border between
the two countries. This is This conflict is obviously not good.

(01:16:01):
Michael Knowles over at the Daily Wire tweeted this and
I kind of think he's right. Can someone explain to
me why we're supposed to celebrate? Now? Mind you, this
is a Daily Wire. This isn't you know, some edgy
right wing account on Twitter. Michael Knowles, can someone explain
to me why we're supposed to celebrate Bashar Alasade's replacement
by a member of al Qaeda. I'm not like, let's

(01:16:24):
be clear, and here's jd Vance. As President Trump said,
this is not our fight and we should stay out
of it. Aside from that, the opinions that he's responding
to a quote tweet. The quote tweet said Syria is free,
the rebels won, the people liberated themselves from tyranny, freedom won,
and JD. Vance says, the comments like this make me nervous.

(01:16:46):
The last time this guy was celebrating events in Syria,
we saw the mass slaughter of Christians and a refugee
crisis that destabilized Europe. Right right, I'm highly skeptical of
people who are just flat out sane. Syria is free.
In what fills the vacuum? There's always something that fills

(01:17:08):
at and it's actually probably worse than a sad twenty
eight minutes after the hour.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
In show with Preston Scott, do.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
You understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
My News Radio one hundred point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Thirty seven minutes after the hour Here on the Warning Show,
it's that time of the show where we go through
the big story in the press box, and the big
one was President Trump's comments from an NBC News Meet
the Press interview over the weekend ND where he's talking

(01:18:01):
about uh ending birthright citizenship and he makes the comment
that I'm paraphrasing the quote, but here it goes, we're
the only country that has it. You put one foot
on American soil, and boom, you become an American. And

(01:18:22):
then he goes on to say something to the effect
of that's ridiculous. We have to put a stop to it. There,
there's gonna be degrees of pain and by like, here's

(01:18:46):
what I mean, right, whether it be massive deportations or
whether it be revoking birthright citizenship, it's going to be
hard because as of right now, the mass media is
where still most of us get our news from. And

(01:19:07):
even though we may like to think that we don't
get our news from the mass media, I mean, I
don't watch the news. I don't I don't watch I
don't have cable, I don't watch network, you know, news shows.
I just I don't do it. However, those of us

(01:19:29):
still check our news feeds, you know, by going to
foxnews dot com or CNN dot com or whatever. The
reality is, even though we don't want to be dictated
by mass media, the propaganda arm of the regime still
basically informs of us what topics we're gonna think about.

(01:19:53):
Even if we come out on the same conclusion, a
different conclusion than what the mass media is telling us.
We ought to believe. We're still thinking about the topic
so completely. Being unplugged is almost like an impossibility in
a way. That's the effect of propaganda. But the point

(01:20:15):
of me mentioning that is because a real effort for
mass deportations and a real effort for ending birthright citizenship
is going to be stymied by the propaganda mass media.
Do we have the stomachs to be able to for example,

(01:20:37):
when the mass media sends starts posting photos and videos
of families being deported right, and those images some associated
press photojournalist is going to capture a tear running down
the cheek of an individual who being deported, do we

(01:21:00):
have the stomach to look at that and say, no,
what's happening here needs to be done mass deportations. Do
we have the stomach to endure that. I have my
doubts whether most of the American Right. I mean, I
meet people, you know, in my day to day and
I'm like, well, maybe we do. But then at times

(01:21:23):
I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. The American
right is so used to losing It's almost like we
don't know how to win. We've forgotten how to win,
and we're gonna have to have really, really strong stomachs
in order to withstand a propaganda onslaught, Like what's going

(01:21:45):
to happen if mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship really
does happen? Forty one minutes after the hour Oh Christmas,
in the spirit of the music and many of our

(01:22:09):
favorite time of year, I wanted to ask the question,
is woke being put away at Christmas time? Now? Generally speaking,
I don't think that they do this themselves. They don't
necessarily moderate, but facing a fair amount of social pressure,

(01:22:36):
you start to see some changes when you are out
and about in town. For example, I went to a store.
It was, you know, box store, just getting some items,
and I was noticing and this particular store, this chain

(01:22:57):
of stores, has been rather not for things like Pride Month,
platforming Pride Month and like youth pride apparel prominently displayed
at the front of the store. There was even a
like demonic kind of T shirt that they were selling
at this store. So if you're understanding my context clues,

(01:23:20):
you're figuring out what I'm talking about. But I went
to this store because after backlash, they made some changes.
I think it's important in a way that when there's
such a backlash that you can send a message patronize

(01:23:43):
them based on timing. Right, So there's a certain inevitability.
You have to get your groceries from somewhere. You got
to get your items from somewhere. So we're all going
to be buying our items at places that we would
prefer to not buy them if we really look at
the corporate business practices and the political initiatives that many

(01:24:05):
of these places support, were generally not fans. However, in
these moments where there's huge social pressure from wokeness everywhere,
and there's a backlash by the public, and then these
corporations issue some sort of retraction, maybe no even formal retraction,
but they start to see some things, you know, they

(01:24:27):
pull it off the shelves or like okay, yeah that
was a mistake, then okay, I will I will patron it.
Thank you for correcting your inappropriate behavior. I shall patronize
you again. Especially because at the store, like it's not
there's not happy holidays displayed everywhere. It's just straight up

(01:24:47):
merry Christmas, like that's there, like just Merry Christmas. And
I know it feels like I'm asking for a lot
or actually the inverse I said that in correctly, it
feels like I'm I'm asking for peanuts here. I'm scrambling
for something to look for and you know, oh, look

(01:25:08):
at that, they're they're finally you know, recognizing Christmas. Blah
blah blah. I maybe there's something there, maybe there's nothing there,
but is the woke being put away at Christmas? I
saw it, and I'm I'm gonna try and observe. I'd
be curious to hear your thoughts. Feel free to write
me Grant Allen at w f L a FM dot com.

(01:25:30):
Does it feel like it definitely felt like this year?
Pride Month in June was definitely muted. It wasn't so severe.
It feels like a little bit more Christmas y out
in the stores unless happy holiday Z. Does that make sense?
I don't know. If it feels like it's just a
little more outright and it's refreshing to see forty six

(01:25:53):
minutes after the hour.

Speaker 6 (01:25:56):
Enjoy.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
It's been a good show today. I appreciate Preston for
letting me have the mic. This morning. It's been a
pleasure day broadcast on these airwaves. Again. Preston will be
back actually Thursday. We're taking some days off, and this
is you know, the opportunity to still have some local

(01:26:28):
content here for you on Monday. But Tuesday and Wednesday
we will be gone. No one will be in studios here.
Preston will be back Thursday. I just saw this story
go live this morning from Newsmax. Mitch McConnell trashes america
First isolationism in some Reagan dinner speech. Apparently, he said,

(01:26:52):
within the Party of Ronald Reagan once led so capably,
it is increasing increasingly fashionable to suggest that the sort
of global leader ship he modeled is no longer America's
place that was in the eighties. Mitch. The Cold War's over,
that's what That's what Buchanan said, Like, okay, the Berlin

(01:27:14):
Wall has fallen. Let's now like relook at what our
place in the world is. This is this when I
mentioned beautiful Losers San Francis's essays a couple times, this
is this is Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell is actually the
right word, most arm of the left. That's what Mitch

(01:27:36):
McConnell is and all of the stereotypical actors are very,
very concerned that America very might well be America first.
This is America First movement, maggot, whatever you call it,

(01:27:57):
is actually the most hopeful kind of internal movement on
the right, truly for America first, for Americans and Americans
like as like for us and our people and our
heritage and and our way of life. H it's hard
to express how much disdain I have for those kinds

(01:28:19):
of comments. And yes, Reagan was absolutely capable. The guy
had some flaws too. He signed some bad legislation when
he was president and when he was governor. So you
have to look at his leadership, you know, truthfully, with
eyes wide open and and and you know, but by
and large right when you're in the Cold War and

(01:28:42):
communism is on on the doorstep, which, by the way,
I don't know if we even technically won the Cold War.
The Russians may have transitioned from the Soviets to now Russians,
but communism is alive and well, so it's hard to
even say, like what did we even did we even
win it? When all of our institutions have been seized
by the very thing we were hoping to defeat at

(01:29:06):
a global scale. I don't know. I have absolute disdain
for Mitch McConnell.

Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
Brought to you by Barona Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
It's the Morning.

Speaker 4 (01:29:15):
Show one on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
Again, a good, good show. We talked a lot about immigration.
That was the big story in the press box. President Trump,
in a weekend interview, was insistent on mass deportations and
undoing birthright citizenship just because you are in illegal but

(01:29:44):
your child is born in the United States. No, that that.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
Is not.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
That ought not to be recognized American citizenship. We talked
about Syria Assad fleeing to Moscow allegedly. I have no
reason to think that's not true. I just I'm not
entirely certain. You just always have to wait before you
really speak on lots of this stuff. A lot of
people had a lot of hot takes, and it's usually

(01:30:12):
always best to just let it set, sleep on it.
And it's a good thing, you know. I didn't do
this show like yesterday because you really really should, you know,
sleep on these kinds of things if you're gonna talk
about it on the airwaves. We talked about Trump pardoning
j sixers. Pete Hegseth is insistent and President Trump has

(01:30:35):
given him a basically stamp of approval to keep fighting.
They're doing the Kavanaugh method of trying to smear him
through various illicit acts, and they just are entirely not true.
Is the woke being put away for Christmas? What is
the size of the federal regime? All this and more
on the podcast. Have a good one.
