Speaker 1 (00:06):
Isaiah nine, verse six says, for unto us, a child
is born, to us, a son is given, and the
government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall
be called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

(00:29):
My final devotional for the year. Right here here it
is Mary and Joseph knocked on dors. No one let
him in. Jesus would say, I stand at the door

(00:52):
and knock. Are you letting him in? Yes? Or no?
You're gonna turn him away. The most important gift this
season is the one that isn't under the tree, but

(01:17):
the one that was on it. Ten past the hour.
Good morning friends, It's Wednesday. It's our final live show
of the year of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:48):
Today is going to be not as much fun as
I wanted, but it'll be a little fun. Good morning.
Fifty two ninety. What a great white hand, right fifty
two ninety, nice round number. That's jose He's dressed up today.
You're not in Christmas gear, You're not You're not wearing

(02:10):
the ugly sweater. You're you're in a blue blazer. And
I mean, I was just kind of like I won't
say I was disappointed. I was just surprised. You have
to try and keep you on your toes. So so
tell me now, is actually to start your day and
pick out your wardrobe? Does it happen the night before
the morning of Absolutely not. There is no thought put

(02:32):
into it at all. So you're not thinking about what
can I wear? That would cause Preston to scratch his head. No,
this is really I'm just him the truth, and this
is just really who I am. Eclectic, Yeah, just yep.
I'm like a five year old whose parents are like, hey,
you pick what you want to wear. Over there, it's

(02:56):
Studio one A. It's uh. We're thirty three days away
from the end of the regime and the rising of
the sun brighter than before. We just got to get
their friends. We've just got to get there. And I
wish I could tell you that I'm full of confidence
in that. I'm not. The Democrats are Biden. They're doing

(03:20):
everything they can. They're I'm gonna, I'm gonna I will
be shocked. Do you remember what happened when Bill Clinton
left How Clinton's staffers raided the White House and basically
took almost anything that wasn't nailed down. They stripped the place. Yeah,
they had to leave the historical stuff, but they trashed it.

(03:46):
What do you think Biden's folks are gonna do? I
can almost see Jill Biden, Jill grabbing paintings off the wall.
They're they're like, nailed there, They're I'm taking right, I
should be staying another four years now. I think it's

(04:06):
going to be ugly. But we'll, you know, we'll be
we'll be around to talk about that. Back with the
live shows. On January sixth, All right, this date in history,
it's the eighteenth. Seventeen seventy seven, Americans observed the first
National Day of Thanksgiving to celebrate the surrender of the
British army in Saratoga two months earlier. Seventeen eighty seven,
New Jersey becomes the third state to ratify the Constitution

(04:30):
eighteen thirteen. During the War of eighteen twelve, the British
capture Fort Niagara in New York. Nineteen thirty two, in Chicago,
the Bears defeat the Portsmouth Spartans nine to nothing in
the first ever NFL playoff game. I don't think the
Bears have won a playoff game since now. I'm just kidding.
I'm teasing Bear fans. It's been a tough time, even

(04:53):
though you've had four thousand first round picks. Nineteen forty three,
the ninety ninth Fighter Squadron, you know, a unit of
TuS Skeigee Airmen flies almost every day during December nineteen
forty three and support of Allied bombers based in Italy.
You should read the story of the Redtail pilots Man.
I'll tell you what those guys could fly that the

(05:17):
Skegee Airmen, their status as legends is well earned. Good stuff.
All right, this is our final day for Humblehouseministries dot Org.
Go there give. This is my last reminder today, so

(05:38):
please kind of one of those Okay, while I'm thinking
of it, I'm gonna go do it now. Please Humblehouseministries
dot Org, Tallahassee, Panama City or both, and just make
a note WFLA in your giving sixteen past the hour.
I'm going to stay on time. What are the stocking

(06:17):
stuffers that are go tos for you? You know what
we do, and you know I am k Kringle, but
I'm just everybody has a different way of going about it.
You know, we'll get a random amount of candy and

(06:39):
just you know, little snack sized stuff, and we'll stuff
some of that. Every now and then we'll specialize. We
know what everyone likes and enjoys, and every now and
then we'll just put a big bag of whatever in there.
Stuff it in that stocking. Mindful that our stockings are
hung by our chimney with care. And I don't want
chocolate in the too early for the obvious reason because

(07:04):
there's a fireplace underneath that's like the worst. So the chocolate,
if there's any, goes in at the very end last,
so it's up and away from any heat or anything
like that, any warmth to make it all like just nasty.
But we just like finding a little silly, stupid stuff.

(07:24):
Sometimes it's funny stuff. Sometimes it's you know, it's got
a little practicality to it that's just really a cool
little gadget or gizmo. But there is a go to
that I enjoy, and it's lotto tickets, not necessarily lotto.

(07:47):
I've done lotto tickets where I've just had the computer
do the quick pick and I've given everybody a random pick.
But scratch offs I thinks are fun. But here's the problem.
I don't want to just get like eight scratch offs

(08:10):
in a row from one single game. I feel like,
oh man, what are the odds of like having two
or three people win something in that line of tickets?
So in my mind, I'm thinking, Okay, get one of those,
one of those, one of those, you know what I mean,
We're just just pick different ones. And then here's the

(08:31):
other crazy thought that I have, Like, drive to some
weird little town outside of wherever you live, because you
so often see big winners in these little towns. It's like,
how often do you really see a big lottery winner

(08:52):
in a big city. It happens, but it doesn't happen often.
It's so often that those winners come from the tiny
little towns where the little store that sells it gets
a cut of the you know, gets a bonus prize.
And I just like, so I overthink it. So I'm
thinking to myself, Okay, I'm gonna go to this store

(09:12):
and buy one ticket. I'm gonna go to that store
and buy one ticket. I'm gonna go that store and
buy one ticket. And I'm just gonna randomly go around
and get different games at different stores and take my chances,
and honestly, that's probably what I'm gonna do, because I'm
an idiot like that. This dude in Kentucky, he won

(09:33):
forty dollars from a lottery ticket. By the way, that
would be cool, right, You're not, you go have a
steak or something, right, I mean whatever. He took thirty
of his forty dollars and he bought a bunch of
break fort Knox scratch off tickets at a Krger store

(09:53):
in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Now, I don't know how many tickets
that buys you. Is it a two dollar ticket? Had
a one dollar ticket? Did he get fifteen tickets? Did
he get ten? I don't. I have no idea what
the game is. But that thirty dollars that he took,
he won forty on a scratch off. He took thirty
of it, bought scratch offs one game. It paid off.

(10:17):
His thirty dollars investment paid off. I had to do
a double take, a triple take. I pulled up the
app and scanned it. It said, congratulations, you won three
million dollars. My man took his thirty dollars. Winnings parlayed
that and see that's to me, that's smart. Go all in, man,

(10:44):
don't go broke playing. It's like, don't take your bread
money to play the lottery. That's foolish. But if someone
for give you an example, if Jose owed me thirty
bucks and I've been waiting four years for it, I've
written it off, right, no big deal. Or if I

(11:05):
owed him fifty bucks, he's writing it off, he's never
paying me. And then one day I go, you know what,
I remember, I owe you fifty bucks. That's found money.
If I'm Jose, I'm taking I'm taking forty of that
and I'm buying lottery tickets because I never expected to
have that money. That's what this guy did. He didn't

(11:27):
think he'd win forty bucks on a scratch off. He did,
took thirty of it, bought lottery tickets. Boom, three million
dollars just saying that's that's you know.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't know, I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'll do this year, but I'll I'll do something and
it'll be fun and we'll talk about it when we
come back. Twenty seven past the hour, Come it, en
joy the Morning Show with Preston Scott all Right, got

(12:01):
to do the big stories in the press box. I
wanted them to be more fun. So maybe we got
it wrong. Well I got it wrong. I wasn't alone,
but I'm certainly the one who I thought, Okay, maybe

(12:22):
the shooter at this school was trans Apparently not. Fifteen
year old girl had a boyfriend. That's going to be
interesting because he has released the manifest Oh, the manifesto,
and this little girl was screwed up six ways from Sunday.
Hated her family, hated her mom and dad, and I

(12:45):
mean hated. Here's what she had to say in part,
I hate seeing people on a daily basis. Just being
so sensitive gives me one more reason to take off
my glasses. The human scum is color and the way
people are raised. I've grown around people who do not

(13:05):
care or give one single care in the world, smoke
their lungs out with weed, or drink as much as
they can, like my own father. I've grown to hate
people and society. It's truly not my fault, though it
never was. See there you go, no personal accountability for
whatever her detachment is, whatever circumstances are. Now. I'm not

(13:27):
saying that she might have outrageously horrible parents. I don't know.
She might have incredibly wonderful parents. I don't know. But
all of you in the world have done this have
done to me is pick and tease me. You push
me into a corner with no help whatsoever. Humanity is

(13:48):
filth and I don't like filth, nor do I want
to live in it, nor should anyone else. And I
know it follows me and how it has followed me
and will follow everyone because of how the world is run.
And she goes on from there, And what's going to
be interesting is when did the boyfriend have this? And

(14:12):
I'll be honest with you. I know that you know
you don't judge a book by the cover. But if
you look at the picture of this little girl, she's
a cute, average looking fifteen year old girl. She's cute.
I mean, she's It's not like she's got something that

(14:33):
would cause people to just pick on her in her appearance,
you know what I mean, Because kids can be cruel,
especially girls can be cruel with a capital C, actually
a capital crew wickedly evil cruel. There's nothing on the

(14:58):
surface that you would look gat and simply say, oh, yeah,
she doesn't present herself as you know, a goth or
anybody that's like an outcast at least just.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
A picture.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
But you read her, and I read her thing. I
read it last night. I was, I was, I wanted
to I wanted to understand more. I'm still never using
her name. This is a angry, mean as a rattlesnake
little girl. What formed her? PolitiFact came up with its

(15:47):
lie of the year. The lie of the year is
eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio. Really so, the
grabbing of geese and animals and throwing them in the trunks.
And you know a little didn't. How about Joe Biden.
I'm not pardoning my son. No, forty minutes past the hour.

(16:14):
I'm staying on time today, forty minutes past the day.
I'm staying on time today. Merry Christmas. I'm gonna start
watching more Christmas movies starting today. Can't wait. By the way,

(16:38):
we're settling the whole Diehard. Is it a Christmas movie
or a movie at Christmas? I'm settling it. I'm settling
it today. You can shake your head all you want.
You know who's settling it. Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis is

(16:58):
settling it. With all due respect, He's not doing so well.
I understand that he settled this years ago, and the
tape has become available to me thanks to a morning
show research assistant. I have Bruce Willis settling the matter

(17:19):
in front of millions of people on television. He settled it.
I'm gonna settle it today. Also, next hour, Christmas cookies.
What's your favorite Christmas cookie? I would be so hard
pressed to pick one, but I would love to hear
your favorite Christmas cookie story. Maybe, so, Yeah, we're gonna

(17:46):
talk about some of that stuff. And don't forget the
twelve Days of Preston coming up starting tomorrow and on
Christmas Day it'll be day five the month of May,
and my special guest is Marvin Goldstein on Christmas Day,

(18:07):
sharing stories, memories and great Christmas music from Marvin brought
his piano in full eighty eight key weighted key piano.
I tell you what fitting a grand piano in here
was tough. Jose had to put it on his back.
I'm just saying. But now we brought into digital. Thank
you music masters for helping out once again. But yeah,

(18:29):
I cannot wait, cannot wait, start watching the movies. And yeah,
I'm binge watching stuff. Man I am. I am going
to town football, Christmas movies and food. I'm gonna come
back weighing four hundred pounds. No, I'm not. I'm working.
I'm gonna. I am. I have already worked so hard

(18:50):
to steer clear of things. It's like I told my
precious daughter in law, I said, you make an incredible
tray of cookies every year, Lee's don't bring one. Bring
it on Christmas morning so that everyone could enjoy it.
Because of that thing's sitting there for the next two weeks,
It's all in my bellyt I don't know if you

(19:14):
saw Joe Biden's clemency list. Let's put some context to
fifteen hundred plus pardons and commutations. You know how many
that Donald Trump did over years, one hundred and forty
three pardons, ninety three sentence commutations. Joe Biden did fifteen
hundred in one day. Who did he pardon? He pardoned

(19:40):
h He pardoned Rita Crundall. Crundwell, she stole fifty four
million dollars from Dixon, Illinois as the comptroller, fifty four
million tax dollars. How about New York law partner Paul
Daggard ass fifteen years in prison for his role multimillion

(20:05):
dollar tax fraud scheme. Prosecutors said, largest criminal tax fraud
case in US history. Toyoti a La Titche. He was
a caretaker for patients with severe mental deficiencies and physical disabilities.
He used their personal information to file fraudulent tax returns

(20:26):
and kept the money. There's Michael Cotahan, a former judge
who imposed harsh sentences against juveniles in exchange for two
point eight million dollars in illegal payments. It was known
as kids for Cash. Those are the type of quality

(20:47):
people that Joe Biden pardoned, and he didn't pardon any
of the January sixth, people who have been wrongly imprisoned
for a couple of years now, some of them shameful.
Forty six past the hour, Back with more of The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with

(21:12):
Preston Scott. Ah the staff. Christmas parties. They are special times,
aren't they. Every work environment that I've been in has

(21:36):
been just a little bit different. I've been in the
work environment in very secular settings and very you know,
Christian faith based settings, and then back to secular settings,
and it's just I haven't had a Christmas party where

(21:58):
I've just kind of gone uh oh for a while.
We've all had those, haven't we. And for some of you,
you've been the uh oh, you've been that person. I've
never been comfortable in settings where the flirting in the

(22:20):
office takes form at the party, you know what I'm saying. Thankfully,
I've never had to deal with stuff like that. But
the Christmas parties, inevitably there's some kind of little game.
Maybe it's the gift exchange numbers are drawn and you know,
you swap around and then you you know, it can

(22:42):
become if the group's big enough, it can become pretty
pretty sporty, pretty contentious. Yes, I believe the game was
called white Elephant. Yeah. That you're like, you're hoping you
get the number that allows you to draw last. And
then you're looking around and some people are kind of

(23:02):
like hiding theirs, hoping that in the in the massive
number of gifts, you'll just forget. And so there's and
and then there's the person that's like they've got the
puppy eyes and they're looking at you like, please don't
take my gift, please please, I really this is for
my child. I want it for my child. Wait, your

(23:28):
child drinks vodka, my adult child, my my adult child,
you know, I mean, it's just it's it's always interesting, right. Well,
I had something happened that has never happened before at
our little staff gathering yesterday. And you know, iHeart has

(23:50):
contracted a little bit where we don't have near the
numbers of people, and there's people working remotely still, and
and there's satellite locations, and so we have a bigger
staff because we have people in a market one hundred
and fifty miles away that's covering our market. And so
the people on hand eight or nine, I mean, that's
what you got. And so when we used to have

(24:14):
forty fifty, we now have eight or nine. And so
our boss has, you know, they arranged a very nice
gift for all of us that we can enjoy at
Christmas time a meal that's just a I mean a
really nice gift. And I mean that's sincerely, just a
really nice gift, or we can use it anytime during

(24:37):
the year. And then our boss wanted to just give
us something personally, and so he got us the holiday
tins with the shortbread cookies inside. And so we all
got those I said, oh, thank you. The tin's really cool.
They're all different and so mine special. I'm holding it

(25:01):
because it's special. But then he says this, well, you know,
I I tried the shortbread. They're just not very good.
Merry Christmas. I've never I've never had anybody say here's

(25:25):
a Christmas gift for you. It sucks, but go ahead
and enjoy it. So I tried to enter the white
Elephant contest with my shortbread cookies. I was ruled in
eligible because I didn't know they were doing the white
Elephant thing. Trust me, if I'd have known they were

(25:47):
doing the white Elephant thing, I would have had the
gift that everyone would have wanted. I would have I
absolutely because I love those challenges. I love finding that
thing that's just so odd and bizarre. It's either hilarious
and you've got to have it, or it's useful and
incredibly cool for ten bucks are under or whatever. I

(26:12):
think it was a twenty dollars limit it seemed like.
But anyway, so I don't know what your Christmas party
was like, but that was ours yesterday and good food
from Tasty Pastry. Thank you so much, deb and team
for providing that Christmas cookies. What's your favorite? Eight five

Speaker 3 (27:51):
The go to cookie is the pecan balls. With the
pecan balls they're around and they got pecans and the
buttery though I guess with the confection of sugars rolled in.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Okay, are there are there? Is there brown sugar, honey,
that kind of thing mixed in as well.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
No, I don't think so. Yes, they're just I don't
know what the ingredients are. I just know I love them.
A lady at work brought them in a long time
ago and when I was younger, okay, at work, and
they were delicious, and ever since I've always got to
give them. And my story recently is as I knew
I wanted some, and I didn't think I had anybody

(28:30):
bringing them in my new work, so I ordered some
online and I've been waiting for him, watching the mail
where they're at and reference to they're route. And they
finally got the Crawferville, Florida, and then they didn't quite
make it, and I was disappointed. But now I'm going
to work and I get to Now the excitement starts
all over again because when I get home tonight, they're

(28:51):
supposed to be there, hopefully.

No kidding, Brian, thanks very much. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
thank you, sir. And by the way, you can say
Merry Christmas around here. Eight five zero two zero five
wfla for me. My mom was a baker. She loved baking,
and she did and we did. We I helped her out.

(29:34):
I loved the whole process. My mom came up with
some of the most unique dessert recipes. But I'm gonna
stay laser focused on Christmas. We did all of the
typical little cookies that have the sprinkles on them in
the shapes of snowflakes and ornaments and you know, Santa

(29:56):
Claus and stockings and all that stuff. And she did
the frosted cookies. But there was one cookie in particular
that over the top. I'll get to that in just
a minute, but tell me, thanks for calling into the program.
Your favorite Christmas cookie that you you just have to have.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
I actually have to have three. Okay, make them each year.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Okay, I do.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
A chocolate chip, I do a simple chocolate chip cookie.
But I also make something I call special k squares
and Hello dollys, and those are my three favorites. Okay,
give me those of my friends and family.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Give me the overview of the special k squares. What
are the main ingredients besides the obvious?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Well, yeah, that's you crush that up on the bat
based layer with a lot of sugar, corns, krote corn
syrup and all of that. And then the top layer
is chocolate chips and butterscots chips and you bake that off,
and uh, you melt that together and put that on

(31:05):
top of the special Case squares of the special Case
cereal with the sugar in it, and then you that that.
You don't even bake that after you heat the different ingredients.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
And the last yeah, what's that about.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
That's a you.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Melt butter in a pan and then put crushed ram
cracker layer. Then you put a layer of sweet and
condensed milk on top of that, and then you put
chocolate chip cookies, butterscotch cookies and coconut and you bake that.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, all right, it's almost like a seven layer bar.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
I think that may be what some people have called it.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Gotcha.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
I got this recipe from my mother and she called
them Hello dollies.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Sounds good. Wine, Well, but that's the charm of it,
all right, that it's from mom and resolutely absolutely Telvin,
thanks very much. I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you. Deborah.
You are next ten past the hour eight five zero
two zero five WFLA. What's your favorite Christmas cookie? Feel
free to give a recipe. We're all here. It's The

(32:09):
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Christmas cookies. I love the
fact that, probably as much as any other time of year,
these tend to be things handed down, and you know,

(32:34):
sometimes you're fortunate to have a recipe card or some
kind of notes to work from. Sometimes you have to
just kind of figure it out. More on that in
a minute, but Deborah, thanks for calling in. Good morning,
Good morning. What's your favorite Christmas cookie?

Speaker 6 (32:50):
My family's favorite we call candy case cookies. They're basically
a sugar cookie short kind of cookies, and you've flavor
it with peppermint. You dye half of them satter with
read food coloring, and then you roll them in long
strands and twist them together, shape them like a candy cap.
My family absolutely loves them.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Do you put any kind of like crushed peppermint or
candy cane on top of them, or it's sort of
woven into the dough.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
No nothing, no candies in it. It's it's a peppermint
extract and then you just you shape them like a
candy cap. They kind of melt away in your mouth.
They've got a great sandy texture. They're just they're lushings
with a cup of coffee.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Nice Deborah, thanks very much. Merry Christmas.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
All right, Let's go to Mike. Mike, thanks for calling in.
Appreciate it. What's your favorite Christmas cookie?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (33:45):
I was gonna say, you know, it's not a cookie,
but fudge.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Man.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
I always remember that when I could spell my mom
cooking fudge at Christmas time. Man, that just really took
me back.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Man, do you still do it? Or I mean, do
you act? Do you get it somewhere?

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
How do you handle that at Christmas time?

Speaker 5 (34:05):
I have a couple family members that make it. It's
not as good as my mom's, but but it's definitely
it hits the spot.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Man.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Like I said, it really takes me back when I
get a taste of it.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Great stuff. Thank you, Mike, I appreciate that. Let's go
to Dale Dale thanks for calling in this morning.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
Hey, Merry Christmas pressing. My favorite cookie probably of all time,
is Trader Joe's Gingerbread people. It's a gingerbread cookie that's
got real bits of candy ginger in it, so it's
kind of spicy and sweet with the wow a little
bit of a white fudge on one side.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Really okay, And it's only.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Available this time of year of very limited quantities are
kind of hard to come by. And if I could
combine a beef with it, they used to be called
gingerbread men.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Of course they were. That's brilliant. Merry Christmas tale, Merry Christmas, sir,
Thank you very much. I appreciate the phone call. You're
welcome to call in eight five zero two zero five
to WFLA. Now I will share.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
What I mean.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I could eat an embarrassing number of these. First, just
your standard chocolate chip cookie. It's hard to call that
a Christmas cookie except for this. For some people, that's
just they make that at Christmas time, and they've got
a bunch of them laying around and they're just so chewy,
and they're, oh yeah, I could I could go to town

(35:39):
on those. But I have two cookies that are my
my Christmas cookies because of my mom. One of them
is a peanut butter cookie with Hershey's chocolate kiss in

(36:02):
the middle. Those are and I know that for many
that's not a Christmas cookie. Christmas cookies means that it's
colored or decorated, or it has peppermint and that and
I get that, I absolutely do. But for me, Mom
only made those cookies at Christmas time, so it was

(36:25):
something that I looked forward to because it was only
available at Christmas time. And so the peanut butter cookie,
you know, it's and they're tough because peanut butter crumbles,
So getting that cookie right is really hard. But then
to put that, you pull them out of the oven

(36:47):
and you put that chocolate kiss in the middle, and
then it basically melts, but it doesn't melt into like goo.
It holds its shape incredibly, but when you bite into it,
it's just soft in. Oh my gosh, Leslie, you're gonna
be You're gonna be first when we come back sixteen
past the hour, and then I've got the Christmas cookie

(37:10):
story from my childhood. Got two more callers, I'm gonna

(37:33):
share a little Christmas cookie story here, but Leslie's been patient. Leslie,
what's the go to cookie for you?

Speaker 7 (37:40):
Good morning, Preston morning. I was very blessed to have
been gifted a recipe twenty five years ago from my
best friend who's all her relatives were from Italy, and
it was an Italian lemon cookie that is very time
consuming because it's all done by.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
Hand each cookie.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
But I was the only one that was allowed to
get the recipe before she passed away, and I was swore.
I had to swear that I would not pass this
recipe on until my days were coming to an end.
So I make this recipe every year. It makes about
three hundred cookies and they're just a delightful round ball

(38:19):
of lemon lusciousness that has this blaze on top. And
now everybody in our family who lives all over the
country has to have me mail them to them every Christmas.
Le's just say, I'm still working at retired age, so
I can afford to mail these cookies. But it's such

(38:39):
a blessing and a gift and everyone loves them, and
I make them.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Every year, Ok, Leslie, Leslie, this story begs this question, Yeah,
do you have the recipe written down and in a
safe and directions on what to do should you die
without notice.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
I do it's funny on a piece of paper, lined
paper in my friend's handwriting, and I use that piece
of paper every single year, and my children and my
grandchildren know exactly where it is and what's to be
done with it. And I've never even rewritten it. It
still has stains on it and it's kept safe every year.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, so which child.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
Gets it, well, that's to be determined because my daughter
is not a baker. My son is not a baker.
But my granddaughter, who's fourteen now, has been helping me
since she was tall enough to reach the counter. So
you're going to be my granddaughter, Madison.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Yep, skip the generation. Give it to the kid that
wants it, absolutely, Leslie. Merry Christmas, Mary Preston, thank you
so much. I appreciate. What a great story, Randy. Good
luck toop and that one. What's your favorite Christmas cookie?

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (39:54):
That was a great story. First of all, Merry Christmas, Preston, Chris, Yes,
have a great one. My sister's mother in law, who
lived on a farm up in Illinois, every year would
make these cookies called Springley's and they're about an inch
and after two inches square, and they turn out to

(40:17):
be rather hard once they're done, and they're interlaced with annis.
It's a German cookie to my understanding, and you basically
have to dip it in something hot like tea coffee.
But man, they're really good. So after she passed, my

(40:38):
sister started sending them to me at Christmas and on
my birthday. And my sister passed away a couple of
years ago, and now my brother found them on Amazon
and he sends them to me every year on my birthday,
which I am anticipating some arriving soon because my birthday today.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Nice happy birthday.

Speaker 8 (41:03):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
That's a cool story. Enjoy those cookies when they arrived. Sir,
all right, thank you very much, and Merry Christmas to
you as well. And Deborah. All right, my mom made
what she called Hungarian horns. And it's dough that's wrapped

(41:25):
up almost like a crescent roll. It's just wrapped, but
it's stuffed with walnuts and brown sugar and I don't
know what else was in it, and then it's covered
in powdered sugar. And she called them Hungarian horns. Now,
my mom was one hundred percent Lithuanian, so it was

(41:46):
something she grew up having made for her by her mom.
And my understanding was it was a family recipe. The
recipe never existed. Mom just knew how to make them,
and so I described them, and my incredible daughter in
law a few years ago made a batch. She said,

(42:08):
let's see if I can get close. And when I
bit into it, I'm this true story. I started crying.
I'm tearing up thinking about it because it was just
as close to my mom's cookie as I could possibly

(42:30):
remember it to be. And it was as if my
mom baked them and they were perfect, and it's one
of the kindest things anyone's ever done. And that's the
thing about this, you know. I brought this up and
I was curious to see where this would go because

(42:51):
to me, those are the things about Christmas that obviously
Christmas is about Christ, but I gotta tell you, these
family things that keep families together, these recipes that are

(43:12):
handed down and entrusted in all of this stuff that
you know, Randy's going to get a shipment because it's
a reminder of that, you know what I mean, that's
that's what this kind of holiday does as well. Twenty
eight minutes after the hour, I'm going to ruin this
entire mood in just mere moments. This is the Morning

(43:33):
Show with Preston Scott Man. We are halfway through our
final live show of the year. Twelve Days of Preston
begins tomorrow. Every day we're gone, we're here. We've heard you.

(44:00):
I have heard you loud and clear over the years.
You do not like it when we miss the show.
You enjoy Grant filling in and being the DH. But
the Twelve Days at Preston is a recap of the year.
So the first show is January, the second show is February,
and so forth. The Christmas show on December twenty fifth,

(44:22):
we will have a show just like normal. New Year's Day,
we will have a show just like normal. We're counting
down all the shows. Twelve shows, our final show, a
little bit of December, and a lot of special guests
like Glenn Beck and Mark Levin, Peter Schweitzer and Justin Haskins.
Dropping bombs friends, that's what we're doing. Great stuff. But

(44:46):
today we will end the program with our annual offering
gift to you of the Man and the Birds. It
will be available on our Christmas show, and it will
be available on my blog page for you to listen
to and the differences on the blog page. It will
be in stereo. I have a mono version which we
air on our show. The stereo version's just kind of cool.

(45:08):
If you've got a stereosystem or you want to listen
to it on earbuds or headphones, it's really cool. It's
well done and I think you'll enjoy it. And we'll
end this show today with that big stories in the
press box. Though I was wrong, the shooter was not transsexual.
Shooter in Wisconsin, fifteen year old girl, just angry, bitter,

(45:33):
hatred that runs through every pore of her body. I'm
not going to waste the time reading parts of her
manifesto that are out there now. Her boyfriend has published them,
has released them. Law enforcement interviewing the parents. Apparently she
hated them, she hated her father, hated her mother, she

(45:56):
hated people, and she clearly wanted to be famous. This
was one of her things. So once again we're not
using her name. I'm one of the only people that
gets it, and I'll be honest with you. There are
things and I joke about never being wrong. I believe

(46:17):
in what I believe my views and opinions. If I
don't have a well founded opinion, I'll say I'm not
really sure this is what I lean towards. But when
I know something, I believe in it and I know it,
and I know I'm right, and I know I'm right
about this. We shouldn't be using the names of these shooters.
I know I'm right. Almost all the mainstream media, the press,

(46:40):
they're wrong. They should be showing restraint, and we just
if they're out and loose, we need to find them,
put their name out there. But they're dead, they're caught. Whatever. Anonymity. Sorry,
I mean, I know that hurts. But this little girl

(47:00):
something went way wrong in her childhood because she's fifteen fifteen.
The other big story in the press book press Box
politifacts lie of the Year is absurd. It is eating
dogs and cats in Springfield. Well they were, and they
were eating geese and they were pulling, you know, they

(47:22):
were eating everything they could put their hands on, and
they still probably are. But why they didn't name Biden
saying I'm not pardoning my son is the lie of
the year. I whatever. Maybe it's because Joe told so
many forty minutes past the hour. I told you I'm
staying on time. Okay, I said I was staying on time.

(47:47):
Well maybe not. This one might run a little long.
NCAA President Charlie Baker called to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
They're talking about legalized sports gambling, and then they talked
about trans athletes. Senator John Kennedy, why didn't you go

(48:10):
to Amazon and buy a spine online and take a stand.
I'm sure the NCAA is a good organization. I just
can't figure out what you folks are good for. Why
don't you just take a position on transgender biological males
competing against females. You just told me it wasn't fair.

(48:33):
Why don't you do it on your own? It didn't
go well, especially when Senator Josh Hawley got teed up.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
But let me just ask you this. In a total
of five teams, five women's volleyball teams, Wyoming, Southern Utah,
Utah State, Nevada, and Boise State all forfeited had to
forfeit seven games in their conference play NCAA conference play
this past year women's teams because a biological male under

(49:03):
your rules was playing on a rivals team. How is
that not denying them the benefits of the sport? Why
is this fair to women?

Speaker 9 (49:12):
And when that issue went to federal court, the judge
sided with participation.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
No, the NCAA did not go to court. No, that
is not true.

Speaker 9 (49:22):
Federal judge made the decision with respect to the issue
you just raised.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Your rules have not been tried in federal court. And
your rules explicitly permit biological males in women's sports. And
I am asking you why is that fair to the women.
All of these women on these teams had to forfeit
games and therefore a chance to compete in the championship
because of your rules, And I want to know why

(49:48):
is that protective of women? That's my question.

Speaker 9 (49:52):
So far, the federal government on the court side has
issued decisions several.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
About the courts. I know what the court have done.
Not one of them's this is your policy, which you
will not defend because, frankly, it's indefensible. Why are you,
mister Baker, why are you allowing biological men to play
in women's sports?

Speaker 9 (50:16):
Because we believe that's consistent with federal policy.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
It so we're right back to your compel. Your testimony.
Is you believe you're compelled to do it by federal law,
you would change it otherwise.

Speaker 9 (50:27):
I said in my opening comments to Senator Kennedy, the
clarity on this issue at the federal level would be very.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Oh that is such a cop out. In other words,
somebody else, please do it for us. Keep sending us
the money, We'll go to court. Argue doesn't even apply.

Speaker 9 (50:42):
We do not take a dime in federal money.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Is that why you're arguing Title nine doesn't know?

Speaker 9 (50:46):
Yes, part of it.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yes, you honestly think you shouldn't be subject to Title nine.

Speaker 9 (50:51):
We don't believe. We currently are in court.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Federal court is amazing. Federal court is absolutely amazing. You're
you have an appending lawsuit right now from email athletes
who are suing you because you allow biological men not
only in their sports but also in their locker rooms.
Why do you do that, By the way, why do
your guidelines allow biological men into women's locker rooms without
the women's consent, without the women's foreknowledge.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Listen to that.

Speaker 9 (51:17):
That's not what our guidelines say.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
They do say that. I've got them right here. Your
guidelines say that transgender student athletes should be able to
use the locker room, shower, and toilet facilities in accordance
with their gender identity. And there they are right here.

Speaker 9 (51:31):
And then everybody else should have an opportunity to use
other facilities if they wish to do so.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
That's okay. So listens on the women. So if the
women then want to move to a different facility, in
other words, that if they want to abandon their own
locker room, you're saying that that they should have to
do that. So, in other words, it's it's their problem. No,
we do.

Speaker 9 (51:47):
We put a fre We put a significant amount of
emphasis on what the locals plans are, and we make
sure that.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Everybody does that mean the locals plans, whoever it is,
whoever it is.

Speaker 9 (51:57):
It's toasting the event.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
You have guidelines that that instruct them what the best
practices are. And your guidelines say that biological men can
go in and use the women's locker rooms if they
want to. What the women want has nothing to do
with it. They're not mentioned in here at all. Correct
correctness right here. You just reaffirmed them in May of
this year. I've got them, I'm reading them.

Speaker 9 (52:17):
Believe our guy, I believe our guidelines give people optionality
with respect to how they choose to use their facilities,
and many.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Said many optionality. What it says is transgender student athletes
will be able to use the locker room, shower, and
toilet in accordance with their gender identity. That means men
will be able to use the women's locker rooms. And
as Riley Gaines and others have testified before this committee,
that means if a man, a biological man, wants to
use their locker room, they just have to accept it,

(52:47):
or else they have to they the women have to
go somewhere else. They've got to go find an alternative.
Why is that fair?

Speaker 9 (52:52):
We told the local folks who've hosted our tournaments they
need to create accommodations for the people who are playing.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
You know, is that incredible? What a spineless coward. He's
the grinch that stole sports. Forty seven minutes after the hour,
a little town of Bedlam. Fifty two past the hour.

(53:25):
Next hour on the program, we're going to share thirteen
habits that make you likable instantly, or so say some
there's a caveat or two, but we'll go through that.
We want to help holiday season, got a a great,

(53:51):
great story of they were listening, they were they were
listening to me. And of course we also have The
Man in the Birds coming up next hour on the show,
something that if you've never heard it before, it's a
Paul Harvey classic that when when Paul passed away, it

(54:12):
just went away, and many many years ago I resurrected
it because I was a big fan of it, and
we have put a great deal of time and effort
into it over the years, and I think you will.
You will enjoy it. It's a modern day parable. It's
my favorite modern day parable about the Advent, and uh
so we'll share that as well. Now, while we're on

(54:34):
the topic of Christmas, please give Humblehouseministries dot org. Humblehouseministries
dot org, Tallahassee, Panama City are both greatly appreciate you giving.
Just go to that website, pick one or the other
or both and give and note WFLA so they they

(54:55):
know that you are a listener of the program and
are helping out because we asked you to. Now, I
also want to take this time to settle something I
had an emailer one of my research assistants. He wrote, Preston,
you're right of course, I didn't need anybody to tell

(55:18):
me that, but he sent the following clip, and this
came in response to my monologue about the Bruce Willis
movie Diehard, which my father is in, not as an
actor but as a voice in the movie. Has got
a couple of segments in the movie. It's great fun
for me that my dad's in this movie. And I've

(55:41):
shared that story before. But Bruce Willis was before he
started to have his problems physically mentally, was at a roast.
And this is edited together to just make it brief.
Here's what he said.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
This rose for one reason, and for one reason only,
to settle something once and for all. Die Hard is.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Not a Christmas movie.

Speaker 8 (56:16):
It's a Bruce Willis movie.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
It's a Bruce Willis movie. That was AI. That was
AI voice over. I don't believe it, but you can
look at it. You can. You can look at the
whole roast. Yeah, nice tripal that's what losers resort to,
ah assaulting the veracity. No, it's it's again. Bruce Willis

(56:45):
said it. It's not a Christmas movie, and he obviously
jokingly said it's a Bruce Willis movie. And of course
he's right. But more importantly, there's a big difference between
a Christmas movie and a movie a set at Christmas time.
You know, I mean, honest and truly. Home Alone is
a coin toss. It's set at Christmas. It's sort of

(57:07):
a Christmas movie because it has to do with Christmas
trips and vacations and the decorating of the tree and
all of that stuff. So you know, but I'm just saying,
you can argue with me all day long. I had
someone send me a book saying, you know, Turner Classic
Movies devoted six pages of a book about the thirty
five classic Christmas movies to Diehard. Yeah, and they're wrong.

(57:31):
It's not a Christmas movie. It's a movie set at Christmas.
The lead actor set it himself. Just say, all right,
when we come back, thirteen habits to make you likable.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Sorry, I need to wait.

Speaker 5 (57:54):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Final hour, my friends. If I'm a whore, the feeding
trough is right there, and I can't wait. Now. I
love I love what I do. But I told my
wife last night I am ready. I am ready to
just unplug my brain. I'm just gonna tell you right

(58:18):
up front, right now, don't send me any email. I'm
gonna read them. I'm just I'm not replying. I'm not
looking at stories. You can send me all the stuff
you want.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
I am.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
I am unplugging my brain. I'm gonna enjoy my grands,
the littles. I'm gonna enjoy being around my kiddos. I'm
gonna enjoy being around my wife. I am going to
enjoy not being around news. I'm gonna watch a lot
of football and soccer and golf and yeah, I am

(58:54):
just ready. So in this final uh final hour, I'm
not doing I'm not even doing the big stories. In
the press box, it says on the run, now big stories,
I'm not doing. I'm going to do a They listened,
someone was listening to the show when I said something

(59:16):
the other day and I've got yeah, we've got the
Man and the Birds coming up. But I wanted to
share with you thirteen habits that make you instantly likable
according to psychologists. Now, oftentimes when I read these things,
and this was sent to me by my lead research assistant,

(59:37):
and the lead research assistant of the program just knows
me and understands how my brain works, because it works
differently it just does. It's not that it's special or anything.
It's just, oh, he's a special little guy. It's just
it's the way it works. And she knows the things

(59:57):
that would catch my eye, and and so she knows that.
I will go through this list and decide if it's
because it's from psychologists or not. This one's okay. Everything
in here, as I mentioned, there's some caveats, but everything

(01:00:19):
in here has some value. Number One, instant likability. Remember
this is the goal. We don't want you to walk
around the holiday season, is Scrooge the Grinch. We want
you to be liked instantly. Number One smile.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Smile.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
A smile disarms, A smile says approachable. It makes us
likable when we smile. I see people at rest trants,
like husbands and wives, and they're like staring in different directions.

(01:01:06):
It's one thing if you're like looking at pictures together
and you're showing back and forth and you're trying to
find something because you want to talk about it on
your phone, but generally put the phone away and look
at each other and smile and talk. But you see
misery on so many people walking through a parking lot.

(01:01:27):
I just see scrooges and sour patch kids everywhere. Number two,
show up and on time. That was something, and maybe
this is an old school thing and maybe it'll come back. Man,
my dad, You be on time, and that means being

(01:01:51):
a little early. You need to sit in the parking
lot for a few minutes, that's fine, but don't be late.
Don't be late. Now, there are circumstances. It just happens.
But that's the exception, not the rule. Number three, make
eye contact. Look people in the eye and occasionally break

(01:02:13):
eye contact just staring somebody down. No, there's an art
to it. And gen zers millennials, I'm sorry, you guys
are terrible. How ironic. The era of social media has
bred unsociable people because they don't know how to do

(01:02:36):
anything but look into a phone. Eye contact is intimidating.
Oh spare me, no, no, no. Instant likability comes, especially
at a job interview. You don't look people in the eye,
You're not getting hired. I'm just telling you right now,
Uncle Preston is bailing you out with your next job interview.

(01:02:59):
Look your perspective employer in the eye and smile. Oh,
and be on time. More tips to come Morning Show
with Preston Scott, Cove and Joy It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Number four thirteen habits make you instantly likable.

(01:03:30):
Number four. If you mess up and the joke's on,
you have a laugh. Having a good sense of humor,
a little self deprecating humor goes a long way. But
if something, you know, if you mess up and you
can laugh at yourself, it is a very likable trait,

(01:03:51):
Admit it. Don't you like it when someone can laugh
at themselves? It's disarming. Number five. Admitting your mistakes. It
makes you likable. And here's the thing. Not only does
it make it likable to your co workers, your employees,
your employers, it makes anything that follows more credible. When

(01:04:21):
you admit, yeah, I was wrong, you show a side
of your personality that, well, you know, he he can
admit when he's wrong. She can admit it when she's wrong.
So when you kind of stand firm on your ground,
they're going to say, well, you know, he can admit
it if he's wrong, so he must he must have

(01:04:42):
reasons for his you know it? It It actually helps
being direct. This is one that a lot of people
struggle with, but people that bs all the time. They
they're not helping themselves. Being kind but direct is a

(01:05:10):
very useful habit. They're reliable at communicating, They're honest when
it's all said and done. The person that's direct, not mean,
just direct, is the person that others go to for
advice because they trust what they have to say, because

(01:05:33):
they're not going to give them fluff. Naming names when
it's appropriate in a conversation. When to use names and
when not to. It's an art. Being the first to
say hi when you walk in a room, be the

(01:05:54):
icebreaker you're going to diet at hearing this. I struggle
with that, not because I walk into a room thinking
everybody knows me. No, it's just I. No, that's not
it at all, And I have to push myself. When

(01:06:16):
I was at an event for my niece in Texas,
I made myself go over and say hello to people
that I have never met in my life. Everyone was
sort of segregating in this dinner gathering, and I went
over to a couple that was sitting by themselves and
I said, you are welcome to join us for dinner,

(01:06:36):
and they said, thank you so much. We didn't want
to intrude, but we do have guests coming awesome. Just
wanted to know you're welcome to come join us anytime.
Sit with a view of the wall at the restaurant.
Now this has the caveat. Here's the caveat for some

(01:06:57):
of us. We want to sit against the wall so
we can see everything that's going on around us. For
safety purposes. Just remember eye contact you are sitting with others.
Don't be distracted by you know, be aware, but engage

(01:07:18):
the people at the table with you, your spouse, your kids,
your friends. We've got a few more tips to come
stay with us. Sixteen past the hour final live show
of the year Humblehousemenistries dot Org. Give all right, we

(01:08:00):
are going through the thirteen habits that make you instantly likable.
Number eleven reflecting emotions back. You don't want to go
too far with it, but what that means is if
somebody's excited, show excitement restrained, not phony, warm and genuine.

(01:08:25):
If someone sad, commiserate, show empathy, show concern. You know,
some of this is really about being a human and

(01:08:45):
really listening to what someone has to say, which which
gets into you know, one of the other skills here
asking questions. I don't often when I do interviews, have

(01:09:06):
a list of questions. I do occasionally to kind of
keep me on track because there's certain things I want
to touch on, but usually I follow a piece of
advice Larry King gave. Larry King was brilliant as an interviewer,
and he said, I have one question I start with,

(01:09:26):
and then I listen. All of my questions are derived
from listening to the answers. It's a great way to
view things. When you talk about interactions with people, remember
the details. If a client tells you about an upcoming vacation,

(01:09:51):
next time you see him, ask him how it went.
I want to get better at some of these skills.
That's one. Oh Preston, you're getting old. You're gonna forget.

Speaker 7 (01:10:09):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
That's why I want to make a note it's okay.
Years ago, a smart boss that I worked for, he
had a rolodex of all of his employees and he
had the names of their spouse, the names and ages
of their kids, their interests, everything on a rolodex. And
when someone came in for a meeting, he popped that

(01:10:32):
rolodex up before they came in there and he refreshed
his memory. Well he should just know. Okay, But if
you've got one hundred employees, it might be a little challenging.
But how refreshing is it when your boss says, Hey,

(01:10:53):
how's your wife? How's your husband? You were dealing with
something at the hospital last time we talked, how's that
working out?

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Your daughter was trying out for the basketball team. Did
she make it next year? You know what I mean?
There's just these are little things. And then nailing the
art of a compliment and saying thank you. A lot

(01:11:25):
of us struggle receiving compliments. I've struggled with that a
lot in my life, and so I've learned to just
oftentimes say thank you. It's very kind of you. I

(01:11:49):
think the art of giving and receiving is sort of
in that, isn't it. Don't just be a giver, be
a receiver. Don't rob people of a blessing that want
to bless you. These are habits that make you instantly likable.

(01:12:14):
All right, Before we take a break, we got about
a minute. Texas is preparing to buy the border wall
materials being auctioned off by the federal government. Remember when
I said something about that earlier this week that they
were going to sell Biden's selling off this stuff. I

(01:12:37):
was like, you know what, Texas needs to buy it,
just buy it and store it. That's what they're doing.
Come on, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Ho ho ho.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
That's so good. All right, we're gonna come back. We're
not doing the big stories in the press box to
do something else. And then we've got still to come
The Man and the Bird, So don't miss it if
you've never heard it. All right, it's seven past the hour.
The news is next. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:13:17):
Thirty five minutes after the hour, This Morning Show, Man
and the Birds coming up in just a few minutes.
You want to hear that. Talk to you a little
bit more about Humble House. But first it's a story
that our lead research assistant sent my way. Tina Willetts,
now fifty three, was given two years to live. She's

(01:13:37):
Florida woman. She felt a lump in her breast in
late twenty twenty one, just months after a normal mimography
was conducted. In March twenty twenty two, she discovered that
she had HR two positive breast cancer, which is a

(01:13:59):
very aggressive form of the disease, the cancer cells grow
at an normally high level protein called human epidermal growth
factor receptor II. Her too, is responsible, she said, I
still remember the doctor coming in telling us it was
in my lymph nodes, ribs, spine, sternham bones. She said

(01:14:24):
she had golf ball sized tumors and the disease was
too advanced for amystectomy, and so she was given an
end of care chemo and told to enjoy the time
you have left. Doctor told me, we will try to
stop the progression. She said, He said, that's the best
we can do is maybe offer you twenty four months.
She said, I want it gone, and so she determined

(01:14:48):
that she was going to do some research. She learned
about an alternative treatment called to meinotherapy, which uses the
body's immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. Now,
for decades, the go to cancer treatments have been chemo, radiation, surgery,
but now a lot of experts are leaning into immunotherapy

(01:15:09):
as the fourth pillar of cancer treatments. She came across doctor,
you might want to make note of this, doctor Jason
Williams of the Williams Cancer Institute in California. He offered
a new cancer therapy that uses cold gases and the
bodies owned cells to freeze and fight tumors. He said.
Immunotherapy teaches the immune system to attack the cancer, so

(01:15:32):
like a vaccine, it can give you a long term,
durable response. This is what is needed to achieve cures.
He said. She was physically in good condition even though
her cancer was advanced. He said, I was confident, but
cautious cancer is a very challenging foe.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
She said.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
The doctor gave her something she didn't have before, Hope.
He was just unbelievable. After seeing all of my tasks,
he said, I can cure you. You don't get those
words very often. As a stage for a patient. Six
weeks after receiving a course of immunotherapy treatments in conjunction

(01:16:15):
with supplements, you hear me talk about those optimum health
naturally to ramp up the immune system and cryoablation, a
procedure that uses freezing temperatures to destroy cancer cells. Pet
scan revealed the cancer was gone, gone stage four. You

(01:16:42):
got twenty four months, get your AFFAARS in order. Two.
It's gone. Obviously, every cancer is different, every person is different,
Their health going in is different. But I wanted to

(01:17:02):
share this because this circles back to a theme of
our show, whether it's Doctor Joe Camps and we talk
about weight loss and different advancements on a more clinical
side of medicine traditional or doctor David Hart's and Doctor
Matthews Aidaman where we talk about alternative care, health care

(01:17:23):
options that are revolving around clinical nutrition, nutrients targeted to
boost your immune system. There's something in this, friends. I'm
going to give you the name again just to make

(01:17:44):
note of just in case, Williams Cancer Center Institute, sorry,
Williams Cancer Institute in California, Doctor Jason R. Williams. There
you GotY, and it's passed the hour. This is the

(01:18:05):
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Short segment here so we
can leave time for the Man and the birds. Remember
the stereo version of this will be available on my
blog page, I believe, tonight and we'll run through. It's

(01:18:29):
available to you through Christmas, and I just really encourage
you to use this before you open any gifts, to
just bring a little perspective and check out my blog
surrounding it. But I also want to remind you here
this is the final literally right this moment is the
final reminder for Humble House. Now, I wish I knew

(01:18:55):
how we were doing, but I've not been getting that information.
So I'll simply tell you that we're raising funds for
Humblehousemenistries dot org. It is an organization that helps women
with addiction and helps women that need transitional housing. You
can read all about what they do, how they do it,

(01:19:16):
why they do it. But they have a location in Tallahassee,
and they have a location in Panama City. It started
in Bay County in Panama City, and we had the
founder on the show as we kicked off this campaign.
So we're trying to raise funds to just help them out,
just a little extra cash in their coffers for the
needs that they have helping women. And so I'm challenging

(01:19:41):
you to give and to be generous. I'm challenging if
you own a business and you're looking for a last
minute tax write off, man stroke a check for five
ten grand, one thousand, twenty five hundred, give a thousand
to Panama City, a thousand to Tallahassee twenty five hundred
and twenty five hundred whatever. I can't do anything more

(01:20:04):
than just say dig deep, and do what you can
and pass the blessings you have received on to others
who would really benefit from it. So it's Humble Houseministries
dot org, click Panama City, Tallahassee do both and note
w F L A and I would greatly appreciate it

(01:20:28):
and my thanks to you for supporting it. Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
This is bonus content, ladies and gentlemen. Jd around for

(01:20:49):
one more little short segment here. Got an email from Terry.
What training and talent is good for women to get
comfortable handling, loading, shooting and carrying a firearm.

Speaker 10 (01:20:58):
There's two things you can do. You can get a
private lesson from an instructor. You're looking at about forty
bucks an hour two hour session to.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Be good to cover just those And is there a
two hour minimum? Yeah, two hour minim the uh or
put them in a class.

Speaker 10 (01:21:13):
The class is an eight hour class and it covers
a lot of stuff. It's it's a full full eight hours.
They're going to shoot real guns that we provide. They're
going to be put on a simulator. We've got to
is that the concealed carry course, Yeah, that's a concealed
carry course license at the.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
End of the day, if you want to get your license,
you can do that.

Speaker 10 (01:21:31):
Absolutely, you don't have to, but you you get a
certificate that that allows.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
You to do that. And the benefits of having a
license is reciprocal carrying another.

Speaker 10 (01:21:38):
States carrying thirty eight states right now, and there is
talk of a national carry license or a talk one
of the things that President Trump or soon to be
President Trump again has talked about is having a national
right to carry or at least states being forced to
process prosody. Yeah, like we do with the driver's licene.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
We had a caller called before we even started this
segment early in the show that asked, what about training
for seniors that might not be able to get to
the range very often.

Speaker 10 (01:22:10):
You know that there's a lot of stuff you can
do at home, just have to be really careful with
you know, make sure that the guns completely unloaded and
that you're not you're still pointing it in the safe direction.
One of the best home training you can do is
dry fire, unload the gun practice, just manipulating the weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
What about those laser programs that allow you to put
a laser cartridge in there.

Speaker 10 (01:22:32):
There's there's numerous ones of those Manux. There's there's some
other ones out there that allow you to safely train
at home. You just have to be very careful. You're
still dealing with a gun. There's probably still ammunition in
the house for the gun, so you have to be
sure that all the ammunition and that the ammunition and
the gun are very nowhere near nowhere near each other,
and double triple check to make sure there's not around

(01:22:52):
the chamber. We see it just about every day at
the range where people bring a gun in to get
looked at or worked on or whatever else. Oh it's
unload it it's not. We have a bucket of bullets,
a jar full of bullets that were in unloaded guns,
and it's just you know, if you're not handling guns
all the time, you need to be really careful with
that or you'll end up hurting someone or damaging your property.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Thanks for coming in my pleasure. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Brought to you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's
the morning show on WFLA. But back at the radio
program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less. We
started the day with John eight twelve. That was the verse.
We started the day with So just for those of
you that might have missed it, there you go. Remember

(01:23:38):
our admonition if you're going to call yourself a Christian
act like one the big stories in the press box today,
we pointed out the difference of an election can make.
Not only do we have the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals telling soon to be re elected in occupying the
office Donald Trump, that the federal government does have jurisdiction

(01:24:03):
on deportations, that local communities cannot stand in the way
of the federal government deporting people that are in this
country illegally, which is bad news for Denver's mayor. Oh
woe is them? Yeah, what a shame. Mexico has already
shut down and disbanded two caravans attempting to make its

(01:24:24):
way through Mexico into the United States. See, that's what
happens when you have a president that says you allow
this to continue. We're going to slap a twenty five
percent tariff on every stinking thing you make. All of
that nasty, ugly all those chess sets that are tacky
made of onyx, We're taxing all of them, I mean,

(01:24:48):
all of those ugly hacks, all of those ugly pottery
things that you ship. It's all getting taxed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
See what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
You get compliance, you get reasonable behavior. We had Challenger
flipped California's thirteen congressional districts, So now we know, assuming
Republicans hold any seats lost to nominations by Donald Trump,
it'll be two twenty to two fifteen for the GOP
in the Congress. Not enough, but we'll be back tomorrow.

(01:25:16):
We'll do it all over again. Thanks for listening.
