Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
If you can tell when the dude John Wayne starts singing?
Can't you?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
A great way to start the Monday edition of the
radio program effectually known as Common Sense Amplified aka The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Hello, friends, how are you?
I hope you had a lovely weekend? My goodness, gracious?
Could you have done any better weather wise?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
My, other than the pollen?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was spectacular and I hope you were able to
enjoy the weather and enjoy a nice weekend. That is Jose,
I am Presston. It is show fifty three, forty two,
and our verse today comes from Titus second chapter. What's
interesting about this chapter is it speaks to everybody, and

(00:54):
we're going to kind of take it in pieces here,
and by I mean demographically speak. King Paul is instructing Titus.
Titus is on the island of Crete, and he's giving
him very specific instructions, and he says, but as for you, Titus,
teach what accords.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
With sound doctrine.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Older men are to be sober minded, dignified, self controlled, sound,
in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. We stop right there,
older men. One of the things that our pastor yesterday
was talking about is he joked about the fact that

(01:41):
older people don't want to be old. But the Bible says,
not only are there to be old men, there to
be older women. And the fact of the matter is
we are older, and we are described as having to

(02:03):
be sober minded, dignified, self controlled, sound in faith, sound
in love, and sound in steadfastness. So as we build

(02:24):
on this this week, I just want to stop and
ask those of you gentlemen listening to the program that
you would maybe consider yourself older to find that however
you will fifty plus fifty five plus sixty plus seven,
it doesn't matter. Do those qualities emanate from you? Would

(02:46):
those qualities describe you? Ten past the hour, It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. With the Morning Show Preston Scott.

(03:10):
You see Trump over the weekend showed up at the
NCAA Wrestling Championships. What a gangster move man. He goes,
my wife observed yesterday. He goes where Americans are wrestling,
walked in there and the crowd just went nuts.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Love it, absolutely love it.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
And those arrogant buttholes from Philadelphia wouldn't show up when invited.
After winning the Super Bowl No, seriously, I think it's
a brilliant, brilliant.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Display of who's who losers.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Anyway, it is twenty fourth of March seventeen sixty five
British Parliament.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
In acts sorry I'm making myself laugh.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
H British Parliament and acts the hated Quartering Act, requiring
American colonists to provide temporary housing for British soldiers.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
How would you have handled that? Would you have.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Fed him a little something, something that give him the runs?
Jesus give him the mattress for the bed bugs. Didn't
they all have bed bugs back then? I always think so.
Let's see nineteen hundred. It was on this date Andrew

(04:45):
Carnegie incorporates his giant Carnegie Steel Company. Who's an immigrant
from Scotland, Andrew Carnegie from Scotland. Franklin Delano Roosevelt nineteen
thirty four signs legislation for independence for the Philippine Islands.
Nineteen fifty eight, Elvis Presley, I thank you very much.

(05:08):
Inducted into the army for two years. And it was
on this date in nineteen eighty nine that the Exxon
Veld strikes a reef in Alaska's Prince William sound, spilling
an estimated eleven million gallons of oil. What a debacle
that was. And if I'm not mistaken, I want to
say the guy guide in the ship had been a you.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Know, tipping a few. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It is National cocktail Day. Speaking of how brilliant did
that segue? And I didn't plan that. It is National
cheese steak Day.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
All right. Now, let me ask you, because you're a food.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Nerd, there are a lot of different kinds of cheese
steaks that are coming out. There are chicken cheese steaks,
and there are cheese steaks made. Is that a can
you call it a cheese steak if it's not like
an original cheese scak steak with the onions and the

(06:12):
grilled whatever and the cheese and you know, I mean,
is that a cheese steak?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah? I think it is.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
I think it's fair for a chicken to be called
a cheese steak if it's done properly. Of course, the
cheese whiz and not provolone cheese and then you know
cheese whiz.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh yeah, you gotta have the cheese whiz. Hold on,
there's a difference.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
You know.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
In Philly they got wont provlon and they want the
cheese whiz. But yes, those two I would say it is.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, hang on, just keep talking.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, and I don't know if there's a seafood cheese steak,
but if there's like a shrimp or maybe like a
lobster cheese steak, I'd be cool with that as well.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
But cheese whiz. Okay, Now it says here.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
That a real Philly cheese steak, thinly sliced ribbi steak,
grilled onions, and provolone American or cheese whiz.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, yes, I think, but you don't agree with.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
The provolone or the American cheese.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
No American cheese is for cheeseburgers.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Why cheese whiz.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
It's just the only thing that in my book, my opinion,
I may be offending people, but no.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Not only people will get offended over that. Well never mind,
go ahead.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Well yeah, but that's that's that's my opinion on it.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Me.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm looking at the authentic Philly cheese steak recipe here,
and the original the original Philly cheese steak didn't even
have cheese. Later they added provolone. Now you get a
typical choice of cheese whiz American or Provolone.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
So the jo didn't have it at all. I see that.
I can't. I can't either. I'm with you on that.
But cheese whiz. There's something so processed about cheese whiz. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh and today is this is underrated here National Chocolate
Covered Raisin Day.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Chocolate covered raisins are incredible. They are they just are.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh my gosh, all right, seventeen past the hour, now
that you're all hungry, I.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Was saying, I haven't a fight over cheese whiz.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I'm just saying, look, everybody's gotten the first of all,
the can that sprays out with a little nozzle and
squirt it in their mouth and threw crackers or pretzels
in it.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I mean, everybody's done that. Any kid's done that, right.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
But I said, no, no, no, that stuff's processed. That's not
real cheese. And it's not It is processed cheese spread,
not real cheese. It contains some cheese related ingredients like
milk and cheese culture, but it's made of things like

(09:40):
whey and oil and flavorings. Now Jose's contention is, well,
people make their own cheese sauce, and I would contend
that that most people don't. And I would also contend
that a lot of the street sellers of this stuff,
like you know, the little food truck stuff, they're just

(10:00):
breaking out the cheese Whiz by name, I mean the brand.
They're just scooping the thing as cheese whiz out and
dropping it on there. He might make his own cheese whiz,
but you'd be best served not calling it cheese whiz.
I would say it's my homemade cheese sauce made with
one real cheese. You know, cheese cheese dips are tricky

(10:31):
because there's some cheeses that don't melt well and don't
get gooey without some help, meaning you gotta add some
milk or something to it to just kind of get
that you know, milky smooth consistency others. And it's like

(10:54):
if you've ever done fondue. You know, personally I grew
up I preferred fond don't, but if you ever did fondue,
you would find that they are just they only put
certain cheeses on the menu because there's certain cheeses that

(11:15):
do not melt well, and even the ones that they do,
they'll put a little wine in there. They'll put something
in there to help it liquefy and become a little smoother. Anyway,
that has nothing to do with anything I wanted to
talk about here. What I did want to talk about
we went to FSU Women's golf on Saturday. My wife
and I went out there to Seminal Legacy and walked

(11:36):
around a few holes, followed. Lottie Ward and the FSU
team in general watched the girls and o MG, they
smoked their competition. What I didn't realize. First of all,
Seminal Legacy is a sporty golf course and the greens
can be brutal. Jack Nicholas designed that course with a

(12:00):
little bit of Augusta National in his mind. When the
Nicholas team and Nicholas were here, they did some things
very similar to Augusta National. There's a par three that
is like a longer version of number twelve at Augusta National.
Long a wide, not deep, green, over water, real tough shot.

(12:21):
But Mirabelle Ting she's the top ranked amateur, I'm sorry,
the top ranked collegiate player in the nation. She's on FSU,
She's number three.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
In the world.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Lottie Woade is number one in the world and number
six in collegiate golf. They're both on FSU's team. Mirabell
fires a sixty six, a sixty seven, and a seventy
sets of course, a tournament record thirteen under par. The
FSU women won by forty two show over the second
place team. FSU had the top three players in the

(13:05):
in the tournament, in the in the metal standings.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I mean, it's just crazy. It was a beautiful day.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Course was in great shape still coming out of dormancy,
so the rough is a little a little kind In May,
when the men play the NCAA regional there, that's going
to be a sporty test of golf because they're going
to let that roff get a little bit more interesting.
They're gonna play it long. And I am going out
and watching the men play. There's no doubt about that.

(13:33):
Gonna see Luke Clanton and the other guys on the
FSU team compete in the regionals. Hopefully they'll be competing
in the regionals. I would think they will be. And
what else. FSU baseball wins two of three over Miami.
That's always good. Seminal softball sweeps Duke whoa duke thought

(13:53):
it was gonna kind of knock FSU off because they
won the ACC last year.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Oh nay nay nay.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
FSU spanked them three straight. Now, one was twelve eleven,
but the other games were beat downs. FSU women's basketball
wins its opener in the NCAA Tournament. I was explaining
this to my wife. It's a little unfair. They have
to play LSU at LSU in the second round tonight.
It'll be on TV on ESPN. You can listen to

(14:20):
it on ninety six five the Spear. But here's the thing.
They do that so that they have some kind of crowd.
There's some places that draw better than others. LSU is
going to draw a good crowd and LSU will be favored.
So FSU's got a tall task. Do we make the
Sweet sixteen? They got to beat LSU at LSU tonight,

(14:41):
So go Knowles twenty eight past the hour, come back
with the big stories in the breast Box. Next on
the Morning Show, Foston Scott Double Ufla ran a.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Little late in the last segment talking she's wiz that'll happen.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Big stories in the press box this morning Monday on
the program Interesting collection of stories here first of all.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Riley Gaines coming in town this week.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
She will be it's it's open to the public. It
is the fight is far from over tour. She's going
to college campus areas. She's going to be at the
Ornate Courus Ballroom at the Sheridan Tallahassee downtown on West

(15:47):
Tennessee Street. I want to say that's is that the
Round One? Is that the Round hotel down there? I
think it is six point thirty Yours open at six
six point thirty is when the event starts. So she'll
be giving a talk and we expect her to join

(16:08):
us this week, sometime in the next couple days.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Again, I was hoping to get her in studio.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Don't know that that's going to work out, but we're
pushing hard, and so I just want that on everyone's radar,
even those of you in the Panama City area. You
might you might make the drive. It's Friday, right, it's
come on over. You'll gain an hour on the way back,

(16:36):
and we'll tell you about it all week long.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
But it is not over. It's not even close to over.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
The attack on women's spaces is probably getting a little
bit more violent. You just look at what's happening with
the transgender violent crimes that are being committed by by
those and the fact that you know, we've got judges saying,
of course it's fine for transgenders to be in the military.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
There are all kinds of conditions that rule you ineligible
to serve in the military. You can't serve in the
military if you're in have asthma, you can't be in
a fighting force.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
There are things you just can't do. There are standards
that must be met. California, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
based in San Francisco. Twenty three members of that court,
I believe it is. It's insane, have ruled that certain
magazines standard capacity magazines, banning them is constitutional. They overruled

(17:46):
a lower court ruling. A district court judge Robert Benitez
ruled standard capacity magazine bans unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit said, no, No,
magazines are optional accessories. The court ruled, now there were
descending judges, and therefore as optional accessories, they're not protected

(18:08):
firearms or protected accessories under the Second Amendment.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
OMG.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
So this is going it's the fight against people taking
firearms away and it's this ridiculousness. There was a shooting
over the weekend or late last week, and all you
heard was lawmakers. I think it's in Texas saying we
must ban these cuts.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's not the gun, it's the person.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
If that's the case, then by god, ban cars and
trucks and issuvs. Ban fertilizers, band timers, ban all kinds
of things that can lead. Band knives, ban hammers, ban
baseball bats, ban it all. Ban rocks in the front yard,
bran bricks, glass because you know that can be plastic,

(19:03):
can be turned into a shank. Got a ban it all?
Sird and Florida Governor Rhando Santa is returning nearly one
billion dollars in taxpayer funds back to the federal government.
He said he's been trying to do it for years.
He didn't want the money because the money came with
strings attached. That's another reason why you get rid of

(19:24):
the Department of Education. Doesn't serve any purpose. All the
money it sends down stream has strings attached. Let's just
not send the money back up to him to begin with.
How about that? Forty one minutes after the album told
you the Big Stories were a little different.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Today the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven WUFLA, It.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Doesn't cost an interesting piece written by Brianna Lyman with
a federalist headline Corrupt Media describe hamas Chief's son in
law as a student, and she writes, when the media
omit the facts that matter most, it's clear that they
are more interested in undermining the Trump administration than informing

(20:36):
the public about threats to America. And she brings up
the case of Badar Khan Surrey, and she said, you
wouldn't know from reading the headlines in the articles. Citing Politico,
Trump is seeking to deport another academic who is legally

(20:59):
in the country. Lass says, adding that but Arkan Surrey
says he's being punished because of the suspected views of
his wife, a US citizen with Palestinian heritage. Suspected views
of his wife, a US citizen with Palestinian heritage, Here's

(21:22):
what they don't tell you. Surrey's wife is Palestinian born.
Mafez Salah Salah is or Salah is a student at Georgetown.
Former writer for Al Jazeera, which, by the way, pedals
Amas Propagandra worked for the foreign the Ministry of Foreign

(21:44):
Affairs in Gaza, which was controlled by Hamas. Her father
was a senior Hamas leader. Posted several pieces of a
mass propaganda on her social media account, including a video that,
according to The National Review, claimed Hamas was forced to
carry out the attack of October twenty twenty three because

(22:04):
Israel is supposedly a fascist. This is her words, fascist
occupation state Israel has judaized their goods. In a parent
attempt claiming that Jews have judaized Jerusalem and Jews are
trying to build their alleged temple on the ruins of

(22:25):
Al Aksa, she posted tributes to several Hamas terrorists. Same
angle was taken by The New York Times by NBC
News and she writes, when the media omit facts that
matter most, it's clear they are undermining the Trump administration
in the court of public opinion, rather than informing the

(22:48):
public about the very real threats of America faces, just
saying here's another story you're not finding much in the news.
The husband of former Congresswoman Corey Bush, member of the Squad,
has been charged with COVID nineteen relief fraud Courtney Merits

(23:11):
has been indicted federal charges fraudulently obtaining more than twenty
thousand dollars in COVID relief funds. He's accused of submitting
false applications to the Small Business Administration in twenty twenty
and twenty twenty one through two different pandemic assistance programs.

(23:32):
According to the indictment, he falsely claimed his company had
employees employees that they didn't have. See this is the
type of fraud that was rampant during COVID, and it's
the type of fraud that points to the largesse of

(23:53):
government and how it is too large to keep track
of itself. And that's why we have this fraud that's
going on into all of you older adults being whipped
into a frenzy over what democrats in this area are
outright lying about. Their liars. Listen to me, they're liars.

(24:18):
There's no cuts coming to your social security by the
Trump administration because of the actions of Doze. What DOZE
is doing is saving your social security.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
By finding the fraud.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
The waste, the abuse, the over administration of various government agencies.
They are saving money, therefore securing social security. Because I
hate to break the news to you old people. Your
money is gone. Government's already spent it. And guess what

(24:56):
they can.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
See.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
This is the dirty little secret that too many of
you don't get grasp hold of, is that you don't
have a legal right to it. They can end the
program anytime they want. It's not a guaranteed thing. But
let's set that aside. Let's accept the fact that it's

(25:21):
political suicide for a party to take your money.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
It is.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
The facts are no one's taking your Social Security money.
They're saving it for you, So get over it. Please
stop whining about the falsehoods.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
All right, as we get to the top of the hour,
sell news in the third hour, Legislative update Week three,
preview of week four coming, and I've got something to
share independent of that. In the next hour, Department of
Justice probing a leak of classified information to The New
York Times dealing with the deportation of MS thirteen gang members.

(26:20):
Sorry trend de Aragua, I get them confused. Information given
to the Times is what's being described by the Department
of Justice as a selective leak of inaccurate but nevertheless
classified intelligence about the gang. Why would someone just think

(26:44):
about this for a second. Why would somebody in the
federal government, in the Department of Justice leak classified information
about gangs that import drugs and narcotics, that engage in
human trafficking, in sexual trafficking, in horrific murder. I mean,
murder's murder, right, But there are murders where there's dismembering

(27:06):
and torture, and I mean, that's what these people do,
if you want to call them people. Why would someone
leak this information to assist them that's inside the government. Now,
I don't have an answer for you. I just think
you need to think about that because what it does

(27:29):
is it then explains further. Trump has revoked the security clearances.
He talked about it, but he's done it now. Kamala Harris,
Hillary Clinton, obviously, Joe Biden, Anthony Blincoln, Jake Sullivan, former
National Security Advisor, anyone in the Biden family, why they

(27:49):
have it to begin with? A deputy former Deputy Attorney General,
Lisa Monaco, New York Attorney General, Leticia James, Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinsinger, Alexander Vinman, Fiona Hill,
Norm eisen Mark zaid, here's the question, why did they

(28:11):
have them in the beginning. I'm not talking while they
worked in the government. Once someone leaves government, why do
they have a national security clearance? Unless unless they're working
in a setting for the government, why do they have
a national security clearance?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
To begin with?

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Ah, I'm going.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
To share an amazing conversation I had over the well
on Friday. Share that in just a moment. It's just illuminating, illuminating,
but lead research assistant to the program, share this with me.

(29:07):
Headline out of Fox News dose Deputy Treasury Secretary dish
on crusade to pull the i r S out of
its really big hole. I think a lot of us
would agree doing away with the I r S and
the current form of And I'm not personalizing this. There's

(29:27):
some wonderful people that work with the I r S,
just like there's wonderful people that work in all forms
of government. They're doing their job, Okay, they're not making
up the rules that those come from other places. They're
doing their job and they do it the best they can.
And they're not jerks about it. They're they're they're they're
good at what they do, and you know, it just

(29:48):
is what it is.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It's it's to me.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's like, to a certain extent, any job where you
sometimes deliver bad news. It's not fun. It's not fun
being the auto mechanic that says, dude, your transmission's gone
and you immediately go to this do I trust well.
One of the things that DOGE is doing is trying
to restore trust by eliminating fraud and waste. And this

(30:15):
is revelatory guy who is looking into the IRS. A
guy named Sam Carcos works with DOGE. He is a
deputy inside DOGE, otherwise known as a doge bro, and
he's meeting with lower Ingram along with Scott Bessen, Treasury Secretary,

(30:42):
and he said one of his main priorities has got
a six month timeline to get into the IRS is
he's looking at the modernization program as well as operations,
budgets and so forth.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
He said.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
One of the huge program, he said, it's a huge
program that's thirty years behind schedule and fifteen billion dollars
over budget. Said, the IRS has some pretty legacy infrastructure
and the challenge has been how do we migrate to
a modern system, said, many of the employees are are fantastic,

(31:19):
But the problem is it's a boet constrictor it's like
a python. And what they're talking about is that eighty
percent of the IRS budget goes to contractors and licenses

(31:41):
eighty percent. And apparently every time over history that there's
efforts to change, modernize, and so forth, it gets shut down. Now, I,
for one, would be of the opinion that what you
do is you simply announce that you're changing how taxes

(32:02):
are paid, and you overhaul the purpose of the IRS.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
See. One of the reasons why I'm.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
A fair tax fan is that it removes you, me
and businesses from the equation.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
We pay our taxes when we buy stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
The federal government interacts and interfaces with the state governments.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
We are citizens that by buying our goods pay taxes.
There is no collection, there is no payroll tax. Imagine
what you could do with your tax the money that's
taken out you got all of your paycheck. It's a

(32:54):
game changer. And I personally think that the best way
to approach this is to not modernize the IRS. There's
no point I think you change the IRS. I like
the idea of the external revenue service. But what we
should be going to is a national consumption tax, just

(33:18):
like the State of Florida as a consumption tax. There's
a national consumption tax, and that's it. Everybody gets a
prebate that takes into account level of poverty because there
is a reality that people that earn less money have
less discretionary income, and so their income goes to necessities

(33:43):
that others take for granted. So everyone gets the prebate,
and once you're through the prebate, each month you're paying
tax everybody, no matter who it is. But there's no
more individual enforcement. It's done by the states. Wouldn't it be?
How lovely is that the states deal with whether money

(34:04):
goes up or comes back? We don't they do. We
don't have to worry about it anymore. Ten past the Hour,
an amazing conversation.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
The Morning Show Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Friday. I'm making a drive.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
To hit some golf balls for the first time in
a while, see how my back rehabilitation is going. And
while I'm on the way there, I get a text.
The text is from a business that says, hey, we'll

(34:53):
give you a fifty dollars gift card for any referrals. Now,
I don't need to be rewarded for giving a referral.
If I like a business, I'm happy to tell people
about it. But the bottom line is that, you know,
we're not talking about my what I do for a living.

(35:17):
And I have selected clients that I have very good
relationships with and I'm part of their marketing and branding campaign.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the
standard things that you and I buy or sell and
they say, hey, if you're for a friend, you'll get
five dollars off, or whatever the case might be. This
was this was a fifty dollars thing, and it was
somebody that works in an industry that maybe is well

(35:47):
recognized for having a little overlap with illegal immigrants. So
I simply texted back, I said, Hi, do you employ
illegal immigrants? Now I'm never thinking I'm getting a response,
because I thought this is one of those auto generated

(36:07):
texting things. And you know, it's like when you get
an email that says no reply, don't reply to this
because it's just it's an automated service. You're not going
to get a human being to read it well. An
hour later, hour and fifteen minutes later, I get a
call and someone says, uh, what can I do for you?

(36:27):
I said nothing. I responded to a text and I
asked a question. Oh, I see that, Yes, there's the
text note. What was your question? I said, My question
is do you guys hire illegal immigrants? Why do you
ask red flag number one? Why do you mind me

(36:52):
asking why do you want to know?

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Red flag? Right? Red flag?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I said, well, because I'm being asked to give a
referral to family and friends, and I want to know
if you hire illegals. And he said, well, we follow
the state law, so they work inside Florida as well
as I think other parts of the country, but certainly Florida.
He said, oh yeah, I said, tell me about it. Well,

(37:24):
as you know, we verify is employers must use I said, no,
employers of twenty five or more. I said, as you
well know a lot of people in your business divide
them their employee staff in half, and they try to
get under that threshold. He said, no, we we we do.
We verify for all employees. Since the law went into effect,

(37:47):
I said, and that was the second red flag? Did
you catch that? Since the law went into effect. I said, well, whoa, whoa,
whoa WHOA time out here, Pal, I said, so any
employee that you have, that's more than I think. It's

(38:11):
been a year and a half since they put e
verify in place. I could be wrong, but I want
to say that's about right for twenty five or more.
Anyone that was employed prior to that, you've not done
any verified check on.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
And he said no.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
And so I shared a little story which many of
you are familiar with, about an illegal that broke into
where my daughter lives with her three children. He was
a stalker that turned into someone who broke into her home.
And I said, don't you think as a matter of
conscience and protection and safety, you ought to be doing

(38:54):
background checks on all your employees regardless.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
No? Not really.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Well, now, so to the Florida lawmakers and aids and
lobbyists that are listening, really, so, we have a loophole
in the everify law. Not only do we not apply
it to every employer, but we now only make it

(39:26):
effective to people that have been hired since the start
of Why wouldn't it be grandfathered backwards. Why wouldn't it
cover every employee, every employee by such and such a date,
every employee, why why give me a reason?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
I'll give you one.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
It's called money from big industries and their lobbyists. Do
I sound a little angry? You bet I am. Here's
the thing, friends, Florida lawmakers could change this in a day.
The Governor, the House, the Senate. Anything that they want

(40:08):
to get done, they'll get done.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
They'll get it done. So the question I leave with
all of you is why.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Would the Florida super majority in the House and the
Senate not want employers of illegal immigrants to be held accountable?
Answer the question, friends, eighteen minutes past the hour, win
my Christmas cards again? Twenty three, twenty four past the hour.

(41:15):
Army Special Ops. US Army Special Operations Command has issued
a threat advisory.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Listen to this.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
United States Army Special Command has issued an advisory against
the left wing radicals that are attacking Tesla car owners. Okay, now,
Hoose's in there, applauding the fact that they've issued an advisory.

(41:49):
I'm horrified by this and this is as much a
public service announcement as anything. This is domestic terrorism that's underway.
These are Clantifa cowards mask wearing cowards that are dosing.

(42:14):
There's a website. Why is dose quest this website that
releases personal information about Tesla car owners? Why does it
even exist? How is it that it's not been shut down?

(42:37):
As of now? They have intelligence suggesting that there will
be five hundred coordinated attacks at Tesla's showrooms on March
twenty ninth. That's this week, this weekend. I think that's Saturday.

(43:01):
Here's here's what I want every everybody listening now to
think about. Why because they hate Elon Musk? And again,

(43:22):
why because he's threatening? What the size of government? What
you need to really get a hold of here is
how embedded this massive scope and size of government is

(43:48):
now The people that are doing these these attacks, there
are not many of them by comparison. This is this
is so much a snapshot of the whole LGBTQ thing.
They're trying to make this big noise. Understand this, this
is satanic. This is this is a a satanic and

(44:12):
and they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Of course it does, because it's it's rooted in sin,
and Satan takes our sinful nature and he finds ways
to manipulate it. But always remember this. It is always
appearing bigger than it really is. The core of this
is quite literally a small group of elitist, little snively

(44:38):
nosed white kids and their white parents, most of them.
I'm telling you right now, these are white elitists that
accuse everybody of being and doing what they are and do.
And if you ask them, what explain whether they're taking

(44:59):
away people says she can show me where. Calm down,
calm down, show me where, and then you, when you
get through the end of it, there's nothing to it.
It's like listening to Charlie Kirk on campus. The liberals
throw darts at him left and right, and he just says, okay,
wait a minute, wait a minute, let's talk, let's talk.

(45:22):
And after a few minutes, i mean seconds, it can
be they got nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Nothing. But I'm warning you Tesla owners here.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
You thought you were doing this great thing, that you
would be embraced by the lefty world, and many of
you didn't do it for that reason.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
You just thought a cool car.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I'm gonna get a Tesla, and I believe in the
technology cool. That's fine, you're you're I'm down with that.
Electric cars aren't cool, they're just not smart. They're just
not a long term good investment. And right now tesla's
are crashing on the market. People can't get rid of

(46:06):
them fast enough because they don't want to be targeted.
Think about that. This is the left in America. This
stuff doesn't come from the right. It never has. That's
why I've named him Clan Tifa. Thirty nine past the hour, Boy,
am I running late down every segment today? Gonna be

(46:40):
real quick here we got doctor Joe Camp's back with us.
Can I get a what what? But first we gotta
get to the big stories real quickly. Riley Gaines coming
to town. She will be in town on Friday giving
a talk at the Ornate Chorus Ballroom to share in
Tallahassee downtown. The fight is far from over. Tour trying

(47:07):
to uphold fairness, safety, integrity in women's sports, and we
expect Riley to join us again on the program sometime
this week to talk about her visit here to Florida
State University California Ninth Circuit Court. This is heading to
the Supreme Court. It's got to It is absurd that

(47:30):
they are upholding a ban in California on magazines for
guns stating that magazines are optional accessories, not protected firearms
or protected accessories if an integral part of a gun

(47:50):
is not protected. And this idea that, well, there's just
you can only have so many bullets in a magazine.
Again says who federal government, Except in this case it's
not the federal government. This ruling actually goes opposed to
the Brewing ruling in New York and precedent that the

(48:15):
United States Supreme Court is historically set down on the
issue of the Second Amendment. And then finally, so we'll
be following that it's the Ninth Circuit.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It's based in San Francisco. What do you expect.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
The Ninth Circuit when it comes out with a ruling
that sides with the Constitution is rare. And Florida's governor
returning almost one billion dollars in taxpayer funds to the
federal government. He's been trying to do it for years.
Biden administration wouldn't let him send it back. See, the

(48:49):
money that comes down for the federal government always has
strings attached. Always, And it's another thing that illustrates and
underscores the reason for getting rid of Apartment of Education.
Forty minutes past the hour, Doctor Joe standing by. Next
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott forty one minutes

(49:18):
past the hour, Get some healthy expectations back with us,
doctor Joe Camps.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Welcome back, sir.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
Well, thank you very much. Preston. How are you doing today?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I'm doing great. How are you?

Speaker 5 (49:31):
I'm doing fine. Had a little hip surgery oh Arth
writers back in my playing days. I'm not paying the
price for being suited up as a football player for
many years, but doing fine and making it back. And
you know, you shared something with me, Presson, you know,

(49:51):
in the early detection of many diseases. We're in a
new year now, so we're starting over. But this year
I hope people will take advantage of early detection programs.
And you sent me a European study that had over
seventy thousand participants and these men will be in screened

(50:13):
for prostate cancer. Now. One of the issues here is
that there are a number of people who ignore screenings,
and this is what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
But they just.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Don't pay attention, don't care, nothing's going to get me in.
In this particular study, the risk of dying from prostate
cancer rose by forty five percent and those men that
were not screened. Now, what do you mean by screening well?
In prostate cancer management PSA, which is a blood test

(50:46):
can easily be drawn and if it's elevated, you can
certainly have an examination MRI, prostate biopsy or whatever to
determine if you may have prostate can In this study, again,
you had a forty five percent increased chance of dying

(51:06):
from this disease by not participating in early screening programs. Now,
we know that the screening programs are very very important
in breast cancer detection, mim disease, co erected cancer, skin cancers,
on and on and on. So the message this morning
is we're in a new year, go ahead and get

(51:28):
your physical exams, but participating in their early detection programs
because obviously, if you get diagnosed at a later stage,
obviously your risks for dying and comorbidities are much increased.
The cost of taking care of these patients is much
higher and certainly increases the risks ultimately of succumbing to

(51:53):
these diseases. So I want to just admonish our patients
and our friends in the market, get place to get out,
get your early detection exams and let's live a happier
life here of this year. So that's my message this morning, Preston.
I thought this was an instrum and you shared this

(52:14):
with me, and I really appreciate it because sometimes I
struggle to find out what to talk about there as well.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Infam Well, there were a couple of reasons.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Number One, I knew you were coming back on the
show today, Joe, But I also know you've spent your
professional career as an oncologists. This is your specialty, this
is what you dedicated your career too. So let me
just ask you this, what in all the years that
you have done this and specialized in this area, what
is the overarching reason why men just don't get checked.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
Well, I think it's I think sometimes mentally we think
that nothing's going to happen to me. I don't need
early detection programs, And certainly I think that I just
think that men ignore their health more than women. Women
are much more in tune of this, and it might

(53:09):
result in them having taken care of the children. And
I don't want to say that that's the reason, but certainly,
you know, mothers are the providers usually of healthcare services
and so I think they're more apt to fit into
this mode than men, and men just feel like they
can avoid the doctor. Nothing's going to happen to me,

(53:32):
bad bad, bad commer. We need to change that and
participate in these programs.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Doctor Camp's great to have you back on the show. Friend,
good to hear your voice, and thanks for being with us.

Speaker 5 (53:44):
Well, I'll get back next week with something else. President,
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Thank you, sir. Doctor Joe Camps with us this morning.
Healthy expectations here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(54:14):
I'm considering offering a new strategy because we're not getting
the the problem solved with men competing against women. We're
not talking about Billy Jean and Bobby Riggs and oh,
by the way, that was a fraud anyway, because they

(54:37):
didn't play against each other on a fair, neutral court.
Billy Jean King played the doubles court. Bobby Riggs had
to play the singles court, so Billy Jean King had
had the wide alleys to hit two. It's it was crazy, but.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
It was the battle of the sexes.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
We're not talking about a demonstration of whatever. You'll notice
that kind of thing stops pretty pretty quickly, because there's
just a difference, you know, fsues women. The golf team
the golf tournament this weekend. They played the course at
about sixty two hundred yards. It's all the golf course
they could handle. It's a tough golf course. The boys

(55:26):
they're going to play it about twelve hundred yards thirteen
hundred yards longer because that's what it requires. Because there
are differences biologically between men and women, you know, there
just are. We're not talking about being a jockey on
the back of a horse.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
On equal footing.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
A men's basketball team will destroy a women's basketball team.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
A women's basketball team, the best in the world, world
against the best men's basketball team in the world. If
both sides played their hardest, I'm not sure the women
would score. Size difference, biological differences. They just exist. That's
not a sexist statement. That's a statement of reality, and

(56:18):
that's something we've lost sight of today with this multiple
gender nonsense. Well, I just saw a story. Riley Gaines
commented on it. A dude named ada Alec Gallagher in Portland,
McDaniel High School won the state championship in the four
hundred meters blew out every girl in the race. So

(56:42):
there are three girls that finished seven, eight, nine seconds
behind this dude. This dude blew them away but wins
the girls title in the four hundred state championship. So
this girl who ran her fanny off should have been

(57:06):
awarded first, she gets second. Another girl ran her butt off,
gets third. Should have been second, and that third little
girl should have gotten a medal, but she doesn't get
one because of a guy. Here's the new strategy, and
I'm going to talk to Riley about this. I think

(57:26):
there needs to be a call for in a given week,
girls not compete period, not when there's a trends in
the competition period, all sports across the board. Now you
won't get some of the pros doing it because there

(57:51):
are liberals, a bunch of them. But if you did
a campaign, pick a week, maybe it's the start of
the next season of fill in the blank. Girls aren't
gonna compete in any sport anywhere for a week, You'll
get the attention. It can't just be because there's the

(58:16):
trans men. There's not a bunch of them, but there
are enough. They're harming other girls and women. They're taking
their places. And the only way I think at this
point you're gonna win this battle from a publicity standpoint
is to send a cosmic shot over the bow, and

(58:39):
that is all girls, all women, do not compete on
this week. We have to get the attention of everybody,
not just the people that are in that situation where
they're competing against the trans everybody, everybody. That's how you're
gonna get this. You're gonna have a chance of solving

(59:01):
this once and for all. And if they don't respond appropriately,
do it again. We come back. Salnuzo will join us.
We have a legislative update. We'll take a look at
the third week of the legislative session. I gave you
a bit of an update on an issue that I'm
particularly interested in. Perhaps we'll talk about that, but we

(59:23):
got a lot to talk about. Salewso from Consumer's Defense
is next on the Morning Show with President Scott. Unbelievably,

(59:43):
this show has moved so quickly Jose lost track of
an entire hour. An hour of his life is completely
gone because he lost track of how fast this show
is moving.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
It's the third hour of the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
It's Monday, March twenty fourth, and joining us on the
program is sou those of Consumers Defense. Consumers Defense dot
Com is the website Aria.

Speaker 8 (01:00:06):
Good morning to you. I'm doing great. How are you today? Well,
Frosty a little bit? You know why I do and
I do not blame you. I don't blame you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Rather than get sidetracked on that, because we've got so
much to talk about, let's talk about we always like
to start with the executive branch here in Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Let's talk about the governor.

Speaker 8 (01:00:24):
Sure, not too much from the governor as far as
engagement on the legislative issues, at least publicly, And I
think that has something to do with a lot of
the dynamic that's at play between the chambers and the
governor's office in comparison to prior years. But a couple
of interesting notes. He recently highlighted Florida's you know, he

(01:00:45):
calls them the Florida Doge efforts particularly, and you highlighted
this as well earlier this morning, returning about a little
shy of nine hundred million dollars in federal moneys, which
is taxpayer dollars that had been sitting in Florida accounts
that they had tried two years ago to return to
the Biden administration. A lot of it was passed through

(01:01:07):
dollars that had some serious strings attached to it, always
do we weren't gonna use them, and they've just been
sitting there. And so that's one note. Then today he's
actually heading to Idaho and then Montana for events where
he's gonna be championing adding a balanced budget amendment to
the US Constitution. Now this is intriguing to me because

(01:01:30):
I'm sure he's going to promote the fact that Florida's
got to balance budget. We do it each year, we
keep taxes low, powerhouse economy as a result. But his
presidential campaign was designed around the theme of making America
Florida kind of exporting Florida's model nationally. And I'm beginning

(01:01:50):
to wonder, is this the makings of, you know, kind
of the second round of that is, is he beginning
to try to step back out into the nation an
old stage in ways that he hadn't done in a year.
And so those are some things that I'm kind of
looking at and paying attention to. On the governor side.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Why else do you go to Idaho and Montana?

Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
Yeah, And he's got yeah, and he's got friendly audiences there.
I don't believe the water's warm enough for fishing right now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
It's always warm enough for trout. This is true. This
is true. Shows you what I know about freshwater fishing. Oh,
I know nothing. Yeah, but.

Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
Probably more active than the governor right now is the
new Attorney General, James south Meyer. He's been busy, yes
he has. He's quite possibly right now the most aggressive
AG in the United States, at least the most aggressive
that I've been paying attention to. He played a game
of chicken with the city of Fort Myers last week.

(01:02:49):
They could not get the votes in their city commission
to pass a resolution Yeah sorry, agree, yeah, agreeing to
cooperate with ICE on deep So the AG publicly lets
them know that they're subject to all kinds of problems,
including being removed from office if they've refused to follow

(01:03:10):
state law. Oh look, they come back, they vote unanimously.
They're gonna, you know, cooperate with Ice. They pass it
and all as well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
So they didn't have to wait for the seventh member
to show up. They did not. They did not. They
were fine.

Speaker 8 (01:03:23):
And if you remember last week we talked about him
going after target for their DEI policies and how it
relates to shareholder returns. This week or this past week,
he's going after what are called the proxy advising services,
in particular this one called Glass Lewis.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Now what this organization in one other called.

Speaker 8 (01:03:44):
ISS do is they advise these big asset managers on
how to vote on all of these shareholder resolutions that
come through in each publicly traded company. And over the
last ten years they've been completely taken over by the
woke left. The resolutions are just tools to advance the

(01:04:04):
left's agenda, and so he's now going after them for
the same reasons that he's going after Target. What they're
doing is promoting a diminished shareholder return in our investment
accounts by the recommendations that they're making.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Oh, there's so much to say on that. One ten
past the hour, More to come with Salnuso of Consumer's
Defense here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
And this is the Preston Scott Show.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
You might think you're a cheap minor league baseball game
with a ripoff of a real popular song and something
that sounds sort of like that, But it's because we
can't violate copyright, so we play things that sound sort
of like that, joining us sal Nuzzo.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
The legislature this past week, what'd they get done? It's
been pretty active.

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
We're now into the middle third of the kind of
eight nine weeks period. And if you recall, in the
special session earlier this year, the Legislature had decided to
override one of the budget line item vetos from the
governor that was in this current year budget. In his
opening remarks, the Speaker had indicated that he was going

(01:05:25):
to set up this working group to examine other vetos
for potential override as well. And I'm now beginning to
see some reports on a handful of projects that the
working group has identified. I'm kind of paying attention to
seeing if they actually follow through with override votes on them.
I know the House has probably got is there an
appetite for it? There is in the House, and that's

(01:05:47):
I just don't know on the Senate if they're willing
to remember they got to work with him through the
remainder of this this session and so and next, yeah,
and next. So it's going to be intriguing to me
how they tackle that. Even though it's kind of a
small potatoes thing when you compare.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
It to policies.

Speaker 8 (01:06:05):
Okay, okay, a lot of drama beginning to unfold, first off,
in the insurance arena, and this is something that really
everybody is impacted by. The rift is really widening as
the House pushes some legislation that would kind of, in
the feelings of a number of folks, reverse the course
of the last several sections where they did both chambers

(01:06:28):
did a lot of aggressive work trying to get the
insurance crisis under control. What's motivating the reversal, Well, you've
got a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
One is the legislature probably passed ninety five percent of
what the insurance industry wanted that they said would help
right get the market back on track. And now we've
got about two years since then where premiums may have
been stabilized, but they haven't. And you've got lawmakers who

(01:07:02):
are hearing from their constituents what have you done to
bring insurance premiums down? They're hearing it over and over
and over, and it's a sad state where you have
to say, as an elected official, well we did the
right things. That's just going to take more time. And
then you've got the other half of that, which is
the report that had been sitting in the Office of

(01:07:25):
Insurance Regulation for a couple of years.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
It was a draft report that talked about it, and.

Speaker 8 (01:07:31):
That led to this kind of contentious hearing and the
houses saying if we had had this information.

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Remind our listeners what that information was.

Speaker 8 (01:07:41):
Sure, the information was that at the same time the
insurance companies were saying we need all of these things,
they were some were taking premiums in and then shifting
the profits to their affiliates out of state. That made
their Florida kind of chapter or affiliate appear less profitable.

(01:08:02):
Now the report is in draft. We don't know if
it's an industry wide thing or if it's just some
a few bad actors and a whole host of other things.
But the legislature is saying, look, if we had known
about this, we probably would have, you know, kind of
responded a bit differently as we went through a lot,
of course, the policymaking from two and three years ago.

(01:08:23):
So we've got one bill that Rep. Hillary Cassell, she's
an attorney, represents homeowners. It's fifteen fifty one. It would
shift back from the status quo on attorney's fees to
what they call a prevailing party standard, which the loser
pays both sides and when you know, kind of something happens,

(01:08:45):
and so it would revert back. It passed, it's committee
stopped fifteen to one. The one vote no was a Republican.
I believe it was Mike Caruso, and he thought and
I got a handed to him because he's going to
take heap from it. But I think he may be right.
They really need another year or so of kind of

(01:09:06):
momentum on what they did two or three years ago
in order to really see what happens now. Senate Bill
four twenty six is the companion to this, and it
has not made an agenda yet, and so it could
be the House posturing right now and kind of a
wait and see attitude on the Senate side. But this

(01:09:26):
is one everybody should be paying attention to. We certainly
are Salnuso with us. He's our legislative expert. What's going
on in the Florida session here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott sald news Oh from Consumer's Defense. Our guests,

(01:09:52):
we're talking about the third week of the legislative session
nearing the halfway mark. Let's keep talking a little bit
about the insurance issue, because talk about an issue that
affects everybody listening.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Yeah, yeah, including it.

Speaker 8 (01:10:04):
And it doesn't matter if you own a home or not,
because if you're paying rent, you're the person who has
the mortgage is impacted by it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Therefore you are as well.

Speaker 8 (01:10:13):
One thing that I didn't point out prior is we
really don't even have an idea publicly, at least on
where the governor sits on this issue with respect to
if they were to pass a you know, kind of
a backtrack bill or something or change somehow where he
would fall out. He has said on the auto side
he does not want anything that's going to raise rates

(01:10:37):
on premium holders or policy holders. So I've talked with
a few members in the Senate side, the ones who are,
you know, the people that I tend to pay a
lot of attention to, are in the insurance arena more
than I am. They're concerned about this idea or notion
because they see some stabilization taking place. You've got eleven

(01:10:58):
new companies entering the market, a massive reduction in litigation,
and they're not sure they want to get on board.
With something that could have a side effect that hurts
the market, and in particular with this sector. You've got
to remind folks, insurance is about risk mitigation and making

(01:11:19):
the policymaker whole Again. So what we've experienced nationally with
inflation impacts the replacement cost of your home. So if
you have homeowners insurance would nail shingles, windows, all of
those things if they cost fifty percent more than they
did ten years ago or six years ago. That's going

(01:11:42):
to be a challenge with premiums that no lawmaker is
going to be able to work through with respect at
state level policy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Let me throw a crazy idea that just came to me.
What if we got to where the state of Florida
required either the car makers or the insurance companies to
a discount or whatever two cars that had front and
rear cameras.

Speaker 8 (01:12:05):
Well, gosh, we're now we're kind of but I were
sip into the would fill market.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
But yeah, I would think that eliminates a lot of
potential litigation because you know these these so many of
these wrecks get settled when you see them.

Speaker 8 (01:12:20):
Well, I'll go one further. It used to be that
you would get discounts for certain things in your car,
like automatical anta locking brakes and all of these things.
I wouldn't be surprised if front and rear dash cams
become a part of the factory set on new cars
coming out in the near future, which then could have
downward pressure on rates only really as it pertains to

(01:12:44):
litigation experiences or the influence of litigation in that realm.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
What about housing, Yeah, a lot of.

Speaker 8 (01:12:52):
Drama unfolding in housing as well. So last year there
was a bill passed by the legislature that would allow
for high dense city and low cost housing that could
be built in agricultural areas.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
Do we want that?

Speaker 8 (01:13:06):
The argument was made at the time that the housing
was needed because you had a lot of workers who
needed housing but couldn't They couldn't get to and from
work sites, and.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
So this is ostensibly housing for agricultural working.

Speaker 8 (01:13:22):
Yes, okay, And so there it became a piece of
their broader package. Now, the governor vetoed that one bill
because he had a concern there weren't adequate protections in
there to keep illegal immigrants from occupying those houses houses.
So this session you've got something similar. It's House Bill
eleven eighteen. But it's getting attacked from the right for

(01:13:43):
a different reason. With the attacks kind of that it's
going to turn farms into housing developments, and this is
kind of where you were going at it now. Every
now and then I start paying attention back on x or.
Twitter's a tweet exchange Anthony Sabatini, who used to be

(01:14:04):
a state rep. Now he's down at the county level
in Lake County, blazing goalie. He highlighted this bill as
a bad bill. Blazing Golia Senator had indicated last week
he was a hard no on the bill. He had
also provided some other specific reasons and provisions in it
that he had a big problem with. But I'm going

(01:14:24):
to start looking into this as it continues to move.
The other one that's kind of getting hot is the
eyeball wars. We've talked about it over the years. It's
the war between the optometrists, which are lower level certification,
and the ophthalmologists, which are higher level. The bills that

(01:14:45):
are moving would increase the scope of practice for optometrists.
It would allow them to perform more procedures. You've got
HB four forty nine. Alex Rizzo in the house. It
would allow them an optometrist to call themselves doctors of optometry,
and of course that irks ophthalmologists who have to go

(01:15:05):
to a medical school versus optometrists who just complete a
four year training It would allow them to conduct a
couple of the minor surgical procedures that optomologists perform. It's
moving steadily. The Senate's holding off as of now, but
it could be one where it gets horse traded later on.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Not sure the idea of a.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Someone who gets a four year training course versus medical
school should be doing any level of surgical procedure. I'm
not seeing it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:37):
It's I'm as someone now in his fifties. I'm with you,
and so one thing I got to look at is
are these like those minor laser things that they're not
seeing it?

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Pardon the pun, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Yeah, I just had to throw it out there twice
to make sure it got Sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
Twenty seven past the hour. More to come with Sell
News though.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
The Morning Joe at Preston Scott on news Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
Back at at Salmuzo Consumer's defense with us going over
the legislative session so more of what happened last week.

Speaker 8 (01:16:23):
Yeah, a number of things are beginning to move or
continuing to move. You got the Senate full Senate passed
their Administrative Rules Bill. It was Senate Bill went Away.
The title sounds boring. Even the Senate President sounded said
it sounded like watching paint dry, but was likely among
the most important bills to pass a session. And I
don't disagree with him in this. It would mandate all

(01:16:46):
state agencies review twenty percent of their rules annually and
have some set procedures for eliminating unnecessary rules. Now, this
is something that seems like it would be common sense.
But Florida, to my knowledge, which may be the first
state to even consider something like this, is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
It twenty percent a different twenty percent every year for
five years, or is it the same twenty percent they're
going to review.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
It's a great question.

Speaker 8 (01:17:13):
I think in theory, I want to say a five
year cycle gets you to reviewing one hundred percent. But
it's a great question, and I want to review.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
The You and I both know that if you don't
stipulate it, they're going to review the same.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
Yeah, good point.

Speaker 8 (01:17:27):
Toby Overdorff has the companion it's ready for the full
House vote. There is another bill from Representative Esposito and
Senator Burgess that would do some additional reforms to the
regulatory climate. I'm trying to find out the posture of
where that one is at this point. Hers is made
through one committee stop or actually Senator Burgesses has it's

(01:17:49):
not moving in the House yet. You've got House Bill
seven fifty nine, which would lower return the age for
purchasing a firearm back to eighteen.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
It's ready for the House floor. This.

Speaker 8 (01:18:00):
I say that because the Senate companion, Senate Bill nine twenty.
It was originally a blazing Golia proposal, but Senator Jonathan
Martin's listed as a main sponsor and it's languishing. And
we've seen this in years past. It needs to get
on to at least one committee agenda in the Senate
in order for the House bill to be able to

(01:18:24):
be able to be taken up by the Senate. There
is another companion from Senator Fine, but that one's also
not on agenda as well.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Is it a long way of saying the Senate's going
to kill this thing?

Speaker 8 (01:18:36):
It could be that they're trying to Now you always
have the back and forth between the House and Senate.
So we've got more weeks to go before those subcommittees
stop meeting, at which point the bill would likely be
completely dead.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
So a nineteen year old needs to sue the state of.

Speaker 8 (01:18:54):
Florida, which I understood that to be the case, that
it may not be in Florida, but it may be
a federal lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
But somebody is challenging, well, they want a New yorkity.
They've won this case cor.

Speaker 8 (01:19:06):
Art, correct, So you've got that moving on there, You've
got HB sixty seventeen, which is the medical Malpractice Reform,
but it's not tightening it up. It's loosening the rules
for allowing parents of adult children if they're impacted, if
they're the victim, it's allowing those parents the ability to sue.

(01:19:29):
And it also repeals what's been called the free kill rule,
which is like that one that first incident gets kind
of expunged from your record. They would reverse at that
out Senate Bill one fifty eight. And I want to
highlight this because it's a rare bill from a Democrat
that moves really really well. Lorie Berman would put into

(01:19:50):
the state employee Health Insurance program a cost free mandate
for breast cancer screening. It's advancing, it's heading to the
Senate floor. A House sponsor waiting to see if that moves.
You've got the bill from Senator Nick de Segli, Senate
Bill seventeen to ten would remove DEI in all state agencies.

(01:20:12):
It's made it through its second committee. The House version
has changed into what they call a PCB, a proposed
committee bill, which means it's going to move quickly. He's
also changed his original bill on speed limits. And at
the very first of our weeklies, I mentioned this bill
because I saw it and I thought, oh, we're going

(01:20:33):
to up the speed limits.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
And it wasn't.

Speaker 8 (01:20:35):
He was making it lawful for people to drive well
below the speed limit in cases of emergencies. But now
Senate Bill four sixty two does include an increase in
speed limits on state roads, upping it on interstates of
seventy five.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
They're already doing that.

Speaker 8 (01:20:52):
They're already doing that so well, they're already doing ninety plus. Yes, yeah,
are you've got the clean Hands repeal Senate Bill one
ninety I've talked about this for a couple of weeks.
It's headed to the Senate floor. House bill only has
one stop left. I expect this one to be an
easy pass, but potentially the chambers have enough votes to
override the veto if the Governor goes that route.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
A couple more bills to cover then the week that's
to come next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
Well, in the spirit of do or do not do,
there is no try go ahead.

Speaker 8 (01:21:31):
Finish lightning round bills moving house side, You've got the
term limits bills from Angolia and Saltsman that would apply
term limits of eight years to school boards and county commissioners.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
That's continuing to move. House Bill two eighty nine.

Speaker 8 (01:21:48):
Voter Safety moving unanimously through committee would mandate anyone operating
a vessel who has not been a Florida resident for
five years to obtain a voter Safety Card or equivalent.
It also ups penalties for reckless voting. The Senate companion
only as one stop left there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Rep.

Speaker 8 (01:22:05):
Kim Kendall Freshman actually second no freshman Rep. Moving her
bill that would enhance the penalty from multiple DUIs to
a first degree felony for the second offense. That's also
moving unanimously, and what I called my favorite bill, of
twenty twenty five House Bill nine twenty one from Rep. Overdorff,
mandating the instruction of cursor of writing. I didn't hear

(01:22:27):
anything about it, and then all of a sudden is
ready for the House floor. Okay, we're good. This week,
you've got a lot of the appropriation subcommittees that are
meeting for the first time. They're meeting today and tomorrow
a big meeting in the Health and Human Services Committee.
Several of the bills that we've discussed on the healthcare

(01:22:48):
side are up for votes there on Tuesday. I'm paying
attention to the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee. Senator Jim Bradley,
she's got this bill on mandatory view of claims denials. Now,
this is one where they're also she and a couple

(01:23:08):
of other senators are beginning to expand there. It kind
of looks at insurance companies, and so it's kind of
where she's looking to go is if you have a
claim that's been denied by your property insurance company, there
should be a mandatory process for reviewing that. There's also

(01:23:29):
one from Colleen Burton's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Who does the review Well, I've.

Speaker 8 (01:23:32):
Got to look into that, and it may be oir.
It may be a third party, but that's one where
I think insurance companies may have something to say. Is
this if this continues to move, Colleen Burton said it
Bill two ninety two. It's regulating virtual currency kiosks. Now,
I had no clue what the heck this was until

(01:23:53):
last week. I walked into the mall for the first
time in Ages and sure enough, there's this thing that
looks like an ATM, but you can actually pop in
your credit card or debit card and buy bitcoin or
virtual currency. And I had no clue that these things
even existed. But they're looking to make sure that these
are regulator for what who knows. Further on, a committee

(01:24:17):
set a committee tomorrow for the restrictions on social media
use for children. The minimum wage exemptions are also up
tomorrow in the House Careers and Workforce Committee. One that
I'm beginning to pay more attention to. The Right to
Repair Bill. Now, this is one where you've talked about

(01:24:39):
it over the years with like John Deere, the computer systems.
Apple's a big part of this as well. It is
up in its second stop. I expect companies like Apple,
the John Deeres of the world that do not want
to open up their systems to just anyone. They're likely
gonna be pushing hard against this bill. And then you've

(01:25:00):
got on Wednesday the Department of Agriculture bill, their agency bill.
It gets a second committee hearing, and this includes a
selfish plug here a number of provisions that our organization
is proud to be championing. It's called the Farmer Protection Act.
And what this does is it protects agriculture from woke
investment decisions where banks are trying to get farmers to

(01:25:24):
electrify tractors to not use fertilizers, so in some cases
they up the interest rates for financing or give teaser rates.
There are provisions in this bill that would preclude that,
that would kind of put that back in the dust
spin of history, which we needs to be and so
I'm paying a lot of attention to that. Banks is
always always a pleasure to be with you.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
He'll be back next week. Salnwzo with Consumers Defense. It's
our guest on The Morning Show with Preston Scott fifty

(01:26:12):
two past the hour tomorrow. Elizabeth Cole, vice president of
Solo Parent. You're a single parent out there. I thought
it was a really good topic to cover. There are resources,
there are networks, there are things to help single parents,
and we've got someone on the program tomorrow to talk

(01:26:35):
about those things. Also tomorrow, Jerome Hudson, author of the
Fifty Things books and the entertainment editor at Breitbart dot Com,
will be our guest. We got ma only minute, we
got money talk, and so a busy program awaits tomorrow.
I don't know if this is a publicity stunt, no idea,

(01:26:55):
It doesn't matter. It's just it's why, even with all
of the shortcomings, we love Donald Trump. He was informed
by Steve Deucey of or sorry, Peter Doocy, that NASA
agreed to cover five dollars a day in incidentals for
the crew that was stuck in space for nine months,

(01:27:17):
longer than they were supposed to be, so they were
eligible for a whole fourteen hundred dollars more now unbeknownst
to me. And I'll talk more about this tomorrow. The
pay for being an astronaut's not as lofty as you
might think a lot of people might point to. Well,

(01:27:40):
you get speaking engagements and all that. If you've been
up in space and you're one of the few and
I get all that, but commensurate with the responsibilities and
the risk. Anyway, Trump said, I'll pay for overtime out
of my own pocket if I have to. Deucey told

(01:28:02):
him what it was, what the amount was, He said,
nobody ever mentioned this to me?

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
Is that all? That's not a lot for what they
had to go through? And so.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
A NASA spokesman told The New York Times in a
statement that the agency's astronauts are onofficial travel orders as
federal employees, effectively categorizing their extended stay as a business trip.
And so they get five dollars a day for incidentals.
You are joking me. Yeah, Trump's going to see to

(01:28:38):
that changing. Trust me, and he'll pull a check book out.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
He'll do it. He will do it. That's why we
love him.

Speaker 6 (01:28:46):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
Today.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
We started in Titus, chapter two, in Versus one and two.
That's where we were today to start the program.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Big Stories in the press Box.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said that
standard capacity gun magazines are banning them are constitutional. It's
constitutional to do that now. They were descending boats in
the panel of the Ninth Circuit, which is made up
of twenty three judges.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
Twenty three.

Speaker 7 (01:29:31):
That's ridiculous, by the way.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
And so they are upholding a California ban for now
on magazines that are optional accessories according to the court.
I'm sorry, but at what point is a magazine an
option for a gun that requires one? Governor Rhyanosanta is

(01:29:56):
turning about nine hundred billion, nine hundred million, sorry taxpayer
dollars back to the federal government. He tried to do
it for a couple of years. Biden wouldn't take the
money back. Well, the Biden administration. I got to stop
that because Joe Biden wasn't in charge of anything. He
wasn't even in charge of his bowel movement. So I mean,
come on, and Riley Gaines coming to town. She'll be

(01:30:18):
coming to the morning show, we hope in the next
couple of days. But she will be coming to town
this Friday night at six point thirty at the Sheridan
Downtown the Ornate Chorus Ballroom for a talk covered a
lot of other ground.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):
We'll do it again tomorrow. Friends, having an awesome day
