Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
That's my boy, Carmen from back in the day. We're talking.
That bad boy is close to forty years old. Now,
maybe Lazarus come forth. That was the story we talked
about just a few days ago from John chapter eleven,
and what preceded Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem for the final

(00:26):
week of his life prior to his death, burial and
resurrection and new life, and so our verse today, I
want you to go back into Matthew twenty one, and
I want you to read about the entry into Jerusalem,
and I want you to consider something another aspect of

(00:50):
prophecy that Jesus could have zero control of. He was welcomed,
he was adored. He oh, by the way, as one
of our listeners pointed out email yesterday, that donkey he
wrote in on had never been ridden. Yet it calmly
bore the Prince of Peace. It's almost like the donkey said, whoa,

(01:14):
this is something different. Sitting on my back, I think
I'll just be good. But what I want you to
think about is he was adored and welcomed and honored,
and within days that same crowd called for him to die.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
On the cross.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Twelve minutes past the hour a little late. I know
it's all right. This morning show with Preston Scott inside
the American Patriots Almanac, we go quickly. April eleventh, nineteen

(01:57):
forty five, American troops liberate Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
Jackie Robinson in nineteen forty seven, the first black baseball
player in the majors, played an exhibition game as a
Brooklyn Dodger. And in nineteen fifty one, President Truman relieves
General Douglas MacArthur of command for publicly criticizing his Korean

(02:18):
War policy. And oh, by the way, it was on
this date in nineteen seventy that Apollo thirteen lifted off.
You ever see the movie Pollo thirteen? Great film, Just
a terrific film. Ron Howard movie with Tom Hanks and
Gary Sneeze and Bill Paxton. Terrific movie. Kevin Bacon ed

(02:43):
Harris terrific movie. Let's take a peek now at hold
on here. I should have been ready for this, and
I wasn't. I was so captivated by that song. I
told Jose I knew. I was fortunate enough to get
to know him a little bit. Coordinated A couple of

(03:06):
his crusade events. I think maybe three of them that
we held here in the Capital City, and we eventually
got to where the Civic center was completely they the
fire marshall closed the doors. They had all they could handle.
About twelve thousand. Only event that I know of that's
ever happened in the Capital City that was that was

(03:29):
so well attended, and the Guy's Ministry is just phenomenal.
Today's National Living Donor Day, National Submarine Day, National Cheese Fondue,
Ho Ho Ho, don't be a cheese fond don't person
be a cheese fondue, National Pet Day, National Eight Track
Tape Day. I have an eight track tape player. The

(03:52):
problem comes in tapes. Finding tapes at Aren't Brittle and
break at the Leader, National Barbershop Quartet Day, National Donate Life,
Blue and Green Day, and National Day of Silence. Well,
I will not be observing that sixteen minutes past the hour.
Come back Genius shows up at the strangest times and

(04:16):
the strangest places. Twenty one past the hour. Good morning, ruminators, Welcome,
It's What's the Bee Friday on the Morning Show with
Preston's got third hour of the program, So get your

(04:36):
thoughts in order whatever you want to complain about, we're
here to help. I love the best and worst of
the week. We'll share an incredible good news story and
of course end with some headlines from the b But
we've got a lot to talk about between now and then.
I mentioned genius. I shouldn't say that I am, but

(04:58):
I do get surprised at where genius shows up. I'm
certainly no genius. I think that we all have moments
where we kind of figure something out and you feel
pretty good that, ah I solve that, Oh, thank goodness,
But when when you're really under it. Let me give

(05:19):
you an example. Restaurant owners in Kentucky they were going
to have their restaurant flooded. There was nothing they could
do to stop the flooding. The rains that came last week,
part of an Ohio River flood was heading their way,

(05:41):
and they knew the rising waters were going to flood them.
And so you know, what do you do? Because you
know what floodwaters are, right, They're disgusting.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
There.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean, floodwaters are all the debris.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
And the.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know, you know what's on the ground, you know
what gets left behind. You know what dogs and animals
do I mean good grief. And so the owner of
Captain's Quarters, Riverside, Grill and Prospect, Kentucky, Andrew Masterson. He

(06:23):
and the employees use sinks, faucets, and well water, and
they flooded the inside of their restaurant exactly. Jose's in
there going wait what? And that's exactly what I did
when I read the story, And then it took a
mere moment for me to go, oh what. They disconnect

(06:53):
the kitchen equipment, shut down the electric, They flood the
thing up to six feet and what it did is
it kept the flood water from coming in. They had
created basically equal pressure of clean water inside that kept

(07:18):
the filthy silt water outside, and it could save the
restaurant from a totally different cleanup operation. If it reaches
higher than the six feet that they flooded, obviously there

(07:40):
could be a problem. It could enter induct work and
so forth, and it might have been a wasted effort.
But the reports as of now are, Wow, that's what
I mean. Under the gun pressure, floodwater's coming. What do
you do? You remember when we talked about hurricane season

(08:01):
last year and we discussed sandbagging, how many sandbags are
required to go like just twenty feet. It's ginormous. Imagine
trying to figure out a way to surround your restaurant
six feet high. This is not gonna happen. Now, some

(08:22):
enterprising soul is going to create. Now, let me back
up for a second and say, I'm not sure I'm
buying a restaurant or I'm put in a house where
that kind of flooding can just happen with heavy rainfall.
I'm not sure I'm doing that. But you know, you're
by the river, You've got a great view, probably, and

(08:42):
so you take your chances. And so I guess what
I'm thinking is, if I'm in a restaurant like that,
there's got to be something. I know that there are
hotels in South Florida that have these barricades that they
can put up that basically create flood breaks when storm

(09:05):
surge comes. I don't know if something like that it's
available to people in the middle of America. But man,
tip of the cap to you, brother. You know it
reminds me. I know that Bill Cosby's kind of a
fallen soul in the world of comedy, but he was funny,
certainly not the person we thought he was, but still

(09:26):
he said something that I thought was very funny that
reminds me of this story he said in one of
his stand up comedy routines. He said, I've got a plan.
If I'm in an elevator and the cable breaks, he said,
we're hurtling down. He said, I'm going to try and
time it and jump right before I think it's going

(09:49):
to hit the bottom. He said. Now you might see
ten bodies crumpled on the bottom and one head sticking
through the top. But I'm gonna try. And I look
at this guy, Andrew Masters, and I'm thinking it may
not work. But boy, he tried. What did he have
to lose? Right? But here's what's interesting. Will the insurance

(10:09):
company say, well, you don't know that blood waters were
going to come, You damaged it yourself and not cover insurance.
You know what I mean? That seems like the type
of thing an insurance company would do. Twenty seven past
the out big stories in the breast box, do not
miss it. I've got incredible SOUNDUFLA. All right. Interesting things

(10:46):
happened in the last twenty four hours on the taraf front. First,
China went to Australia and By went to I mean
engaged and said, hey, you need to link with us.
What what America is doing to use unfair We need
to join And Australia said, we will speak for ourselves,
thank you very much, and they just closed the door. Now.

(11:12):
In response to that, China came back with more retaliatory
tariffs against America. I thought it was great because the
Chinese tried the divide and conquer method. Let's see if
we can break off some of these nations that might
be angry at Trump. Didn't work, So the tariffs are
up even higher from China. That's fine what I wanted.

(11:33):
I told you I was going to play this. This
is on I believe CNN. Kevin O'Leary, former guest of
The Morning Show with Preston Scott from Shark Tank, talking
about China.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
One hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough.
I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China.
They don't play by the rules. They've been in the
WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of
the rules. They when they came in for decades, they cheat,
they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate in their courts.
They take product, technology, they steal it, they manufacture it

(12:10):
and sell it back here never has an administrator. I
want chie on an airplane to Washington to level the
playing field. It is not about tariffs anymore. Nobody has
taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no administration for decades.
As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough.

(12:33):
I speak for millions of Americans who have ip that
have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against
the Chinese people. They brought great literacy, art, and tech
to the world. The government cheats and steals, and finally
an administration. You may not like Trump, you may not

(12:53):
like his style or his rhetoric. Finally an administration that
puts up and says enough four hundred percent tariffs. Tomorrow morning,
he'll tell you why. She can only stay the Supreme
leader if people are employed, if we wipe out any
business there, Because we are still thirty nine percent of

(13:15):
all consumables on Earth and twenty five percent of the
world's GDP, America is the number one economy on Earth.
With all the cards, we will not have that forever.
It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the Wall.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Now, well, well, I hear you, But hold on. If
we're talking about people, the average consumer, not necessarily the
head honchos of businesses all across the globe, can they
withstand the pressure of that sort of tax on.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
The goods lived? There will be But yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
But what's your timeline compared to You don't know the
average Americans timeline what they can actually survive.

Speaker 7 (13:51):
There's people right now who can't.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Survive one hundred percent Tomorrow morning, cheese on an airplane
to Washington to cut a deal.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
There you go. This is somebody who knows more about
business than you and me combined, who says four hundred percent,
crush them, bring them to the table. By the way,
one other item that I think, and I'm going to

(14:20):
share that again next hour. So gather your friends, let
them hear it. He's on CNN at this point giving
a talk to them. Republicans Democrats apparently are agreeing in
the Senate as of right now to end daylight savings.
Time to lock it in. No more shifting back and forth.

(14:47):
I think it's brilliant. No more moving forward and losing
daylight in the fall and screwing up your circadian rhythm.
For four months or three months. Come on, lock it down.
So they're making progress there forty minutes past the hour.
Those your big stories in the press box. I think

(15:08):
they're big. Don't you think they're big? I want to
rearrange a couple of things on the rundown here, little
price check. US imports a lot of goods from China.
In twenty twenty four. That number was four hundred and
thirty nine billion dollars, far more than the one hundred

(15:29):
and forty three billion worth of goods that China allowed
into its country from US. And so someone did a
little checking. I mean, where will we get our fake
fruit and flowers? Do you realize ninety six percent of

(15:51):
the fake fruit and flowers come from China? Oh my,
what will we do without them? Ninety three percent of
imported children's coloring books come from China. Now, fourth of
July could be a little little dicey. China did invent explosives,

(16:20):
and so that could that could dampen fourth of July.
Ninety eight percent of vacuum flasks and parts come from China,
ninety six percent artificial flowers and related items, ninety one
percent of portable electric lamps and parts ninety three percent

(16:41):
of children's books. Ninety six percent of umbrellas and sun
umbrellas come from China, fireworks ninety five percent, ninety seven
percent of baby carriages and parts come from China, ninety percent,
hair accessories in parts, ninety six percent, of desk excess
series of base metals, travel sets for personal use ninety percent.

(17:08):
I mean, my goodness, gracious, this is low hanging fruit.
We got to be producing this stuff here and paint
a little more the opportunities for America peeling back and

(17:30):
seeing what China is doing to screw this country over,
and the transferral of wealth that's going over there. Because
of this, we have a we again over a trillion
dollar in balance and trade in general in one year,
one point two trillion, one trillion, two hundred billion dollars.

(17:55):
It's absurd, all right. Tonight's the finale of iHeartRadio Week
on Wheel of Fortune. Jason Derulo, Andy Grammer Jojo will
be on the program tonight and one contestant at home
we'll have a chance to win tickets to the iHeartRadio

(18:16):
Music Awards in Los Angeles, So make sure you check
that out. The The iHeartRadio Week on Wheel of Fortune.
First time a lowercase letter has ever been used on
Wheel of Fortune, and it was the I in iHeart Radio.
So do not miss that. All right, let me tell
you what's coming up. We've got an update. I was

(18:40):
really excited to learn got an update on the that
fencing story about USA fencing and the young lady that
took a knee. It was not a wasted effort. We'll
update that story in just a little bit. AI has
made its way into the courtroom, not in the way

(19:01):
that you think, and we're gonna get an update. I
want to take it a little further. I talked about
burning the Benjamins, how the federal government and the importance
of DOGE and why you should be supporting it, and
telling these protesters that are jamming on Elon Musk and
everybody looking at the government waste tell them the pound
sand and I'm gonna explain why again, only I'm gonna

(19:24):
go through a greater list of examples. So stay with us.
Forty six past the hour, What's the Bee Friday comes
up an hour three of the Morning Show. Remember tax
days coming up next week. If your tax is done,

(19:46):
least file an extension. If you're not going to get
it done. Remember we talked about Stephanie Turner. She's the
young lady in a fencing meet match tournament sponsored by
us A Fencing took a knee instead of competing against
Redmond Sullivan. She said, I'm not I'm not competing against

(20:14):
a man. It's not it's not fair. So she took
off her and I'm sure it all has technical names
that I don't know. It, took off her mask hood,
took a knee, and forfeited the match. She was then
called over as the judge said what's up? And the

(20:38):
judge was then prized of her decision and he went
over to the ruling committee and they issued her what's
called a black card, which is like dishonor it's a
dishonorable discharge from the match. From the tournament's she was banned,

(21:00):
and they said it had nothing to do with her
feelings about transgender issues and competing against men. It was
that she did not compete. Well, she did not compete
because she was being asked to compete against the man.
You foolish people. Well, Wagner College is where Redmond Sullivan attends,

(21:22):
and they have booted him from the fencing team. He
competed for Wagner's women's team in Foyle competition in several
meets during the first half of this season, but last
season competed with the men, and so they said that, yeah,

(21:47):
he is off the team. Now here's the problem. The
policy that Trump put in place says this, a student
athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a
women's team signed mail at birth. Assigned is the problem.
You're not assigned. You're born with You either have parts

(22:13):
or you don't. Now, there are those incredibly rare circumstances
where someone is born with both sets of genitals. That's
why my contention that DNA testing is required and that

(22:38):
it should be based and we're not solving this problem
until we say DNA testing and that is litigated and
settled in court. It shouldn't have to be. But if
the NCAA did the right thing and the courageous thing,
and if the sports leagues out there did the right
thing and the courageous thing and just settled this, we'd

(23:00):
get it to court, it would find its way, and
we'd be done. The issue would be over. But we
don't have we don't have enough courageous people. Ruling sports
bodies out there. The fencing club that Sullivan belongs to,
otherwise known as the dude pretending to be a dude

(23:22):
at redd has followed every ruling guidelines set forth by
the FIE and USA Fencing. She has every she says,
she stop it, and you guys know that you joke
about it when he's not there, Come on, stop it
has every right to compete in events that she no
he qualifies for. Fencing is rooted in a deep tradition.

(23:46):
Listen to this of honor sportsmanship. Where's the sportsmanship? Where's
the sportsmanship of men competing against women? See says stop it?
Just and then I told you there was an AAI
story dudes in court. He doesn't have an attorney, so

(24:10):
he asked for permission to play a video before the
preceding and it was an AI defense attorney. The dude
created a a an avatar that acted as his defense
attorney using AI. Judge went nuts. She's like, it would
have been nice to know you were going to try

(24:30):
this stunt beforehand. So he said, look, I struggle with
public speaking, I don't have an attorney. I thought this
was my best way of defending myself. So he had
to write a letter of apology and yeah, but imagine
now an AI attorney come back. The title of the

(24:58):
topic burning Benjamin's next of the morning show with Preston's
Guy Edgie start to the second hour of the radio program.

(25:19):
He's Jose he is all cowboy this week, all the time,
to the extent that he switched his headphone so that
it could wear something that didn't interfere with his cowboy hat.
And so he saw, here we go into the second hour.
I did something yesterday and decided I needed to expand

(25:43):
on that because I did not get through even a
portion of the content. And I'm being real serious when
I say you need to hold government officials that are
unwilling to treat your dollars with the proper amount of respect, restraint, discipline,

(26:05):
in contempt. You need to hold them in contempt. You
need to remember that when it's voting time, you need
to demand candidates that are going to reduce spending of government,
that are going to be mindful of your dollars, that
will understand it's not their money to spend, it's your

(26:27):
money they are entrusted to spend. It's very different that way.
And I painted a picture yesterday of a government official
taking your one hundred dollars bills. I made them twenties yesterday,
but hundreds benjamins, all right, and just looking at you

(26:48):
and burning them, taking the money from your wallet, staring
you straight in the eye, kind of wet in the thumb,
and counting them out. Let's say, in the course of
a year, you've paid out ten thousand dollars of taxes
in your paychecks, and they're just counting out hundreds. They

(27:11):
got hondos right.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
There, boom boom boom, boom boom, one.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Hundred of them, and they just want just counting them,
licking their thumb, keep counting, licking, and then they just
burn them. I want you to have that imagery in
your head about the waste of government spending. I don't

(27:38):
care if it's a local, state or federal. It's your money.
And what Doze is doing is uncovering how much of
your money they're staring you straight in the eye and
burning all the time. Might we get a little over zealous, No,

(28:05):
we are not. We could chisel at this for four
years and not get all of it. We need a
massive reset in the amount of money that is given
to the federal government, and I, for one, support a

(28:25):
fair tax because it allows the states to fight that battle,
and we are much closer to our state lawmakers than
our federal ones. I mentioned yesterday two hundred and thirty
seven thousand dollars for solar powered picnic tables at the

(28:48):
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, because those picnic tables
had charging stations so that people could work outside. With
social distancing. During COVID, no one was even showing up
to work one hundred and eighty two thousand dollars on
plexiglass panels, and that mitigated nothing. And this is where

(29:13):
I ran out of time yesterday. I ran out of
time talking about the four point six three billion dollars
on furniture in the COVID years to furnish mostly empty offices.
Let me give you an equivalent. You got a storage shed,

(29:38):
You decide, you know what, I want to put a
bar out there with a with an icemaker, and you
spend all the money, You do the trenching, and you
do all of that, and you never go back out.
You never go out there. You don't what'd you spend
the money on? Why'd you do it? You bought a boat.

(30:00):
How many of you bought a jet ski and you realize, yeah,
it's better to just rent one because the number of
times you actually load the thing up and go. Now,
some of you use it all the time. That's great,
that's fine, But a bunch of you you buy these
adult toys and you never have time to use them,
so you end up selling them at a loss. Only
we're doing this. Time's a billion at a time. Wait

(30:24):
till I get to the list next. Remember they're burning
your benjamins. Ten past the hour, It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
There's an organization called Open the Books. The CEO is
John Hart. Gave statements this week before a Delivering on
Government Efficiency subcommittee. The hearing titled Federal Foreclosure reducing the
Federal Real Estate Portfolio, and he gave his remarks. He said,

(31:03):
it's true the beautiful spaces can make us more productive
of beauty, at what costs? And on whose dime? Do
federal employees need seven figures worth of abstract modern art
to make government run? The danger here, Dear ruminators is
to find this so incredibly beyond the pale that you

(31:29):
treat it as if it's a fictional novel, and you
just laugh about it and go, that's just government. It's
not government. It's your money, it's my money. These are
the numbers that are documented that have been spent in

(31:51):
the previous administration. Seven hundred thousand dollars for one regional
conference room at the SEC and York two hundred and
eighty four thousand dollars for high end modern Herman Miller
furniture at FEMA's headquarters conference room. That's the same FEMA

(32:12):
that has misspent billions of dollars in response to natural disasters,
and yet it finds itself surrounded by Herman Miller furniture
comforts thirty nine thousand dollars for conference tables in the
old Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco, despite the

(32:33):
fact that no one's working there. They've been working remotely.
The State Department purchased one point four million dollars of
artwork and drawings for its embassies, including two hundred thousand
dollars for two oil paintings by modern abstract artist Alfred Jansen.

(33:00):
One hundred and twenty thousand dollars for Ethan Allen leather
recliners at the State Department Embassy in Islamabod. We absolutely
need our embassy employees comfortable in Islamabod. Don't you think
four million dollars for furniture and cubicles for the serial
tax dollar abuser USAIDS operation in West Africa, Mozambique and Ukraine.

(33:30):
Then there's the property problem, one of the canceled leases
that we've just got a hold of. Doje. The Biden
administration in the very final weeks, signed a fifteen year
lease for a luxury office space in pennsyl on Pennsylvania

(33:53):
Avenue to house Voice of America and the United States
Agency for Global Media. The cost one quarter of a
billion dollars. They're staring you in the eye, and they're

(34:14):
smiling at you on a local level, on a state level,
federally while they take your money and burn it in
front of your eyes. Tallahassee. Remember that when Jeremy Mattlowe

(34:38):
asked for your vote, this is what a liberals do.
They want to defund the things that matter to fund
the things that don't. Remember that when you hold a
Republican legislature in Florida accountable? What are they spa money on?

(35:00):
Are they spending money on things that matter or on
things that don't? Are they protecting employees or employers of
illegal immigrants to keep the coffers full for their campaign
war chests? Are they matching the rhetoric with the law
on illegal immigration? Remember that when you vote federally, are

(35:24):
you voting for lawmakers that bring home the park to
your district? Wasting your money? Are they holding a line
saying we can't keep doing this sixteen minutes past the hour?
When we come back literally an unbelievable story twenty two

(35:51):
minutes past the hour. Kim Cross's story on our website
WFLAFM dot com WFLA Panama City dot com story of
Kevin McMahon name probably means nothing to you. Sixty four
year old man from Long Island. He was born on
May twenty sixth, nineteen sixty so he's just about a

(36:15):
month older than me, and he grew up as Kevin
McMahon the McMahon family, But growing up he felt out
of place with his family. In fact, he was treated

(36:38):
very differently by his paternal grandmother, who suspected he wasn't
her biological grandchild. McMahon's darker eyes and complexion further fueled
these suspicions, and then the revelation came after his sister

(37:00):
submitted her DNA to ancestry dot com and his sister
found out that she has a brother named Ross McMahon
that was born on May twenty sixth, nineteen sixty listened

(37:25):
to this. The two babies were born minutes from each
apart from each other, at the same hospital, Jamaica Hospital
Medical Center in Queens, New York, and the babies got switched.
They were taken home by the wrong sets of parents,

(37:54):
and though Ross grew up with Kevin McMahon's biological parents
received their full love and support affections, they never suspected
a thing. They have now found out that they both
have been raised in the wrong families. Can you imagine

(38:23):
Kevin is suing the hospital. He said the discovery was
the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle and it explained
his feelings of being an outsider in his own family.
He has since connected with his biological family. He is

(38:45):
also connected with the man he was switched with. Ross.
He said he had feelings of jealousy towards Ross, who
grew up as the firstborn child of the McMahons logical
family parents. As the legalities continue, the family Kevin McMahon

(39:09):
are working to try to figure out how to move forward,
how to try to recover sixty four lost years. Can
you even conceive of that? Sixty four probably sixty three years.

(39:36):
He's sixty four now the legal proceedings underway. Imagine everything
you knew. My biological brothers and sister and whatever, none
of them are my family. And if he in fact
was treated differently, which it would appear he was, there's

(40:02):
a part of me that's like shame on the paternal grandmother.
I mean, like that little boy did something wrong. He
did nothing wrong. These boys did nothing wrong. The families
did nothing wrong. But could you imagine, of course I

(40:24):
would if I had raised a child that wasn't my
biological child, I'd love him like my child. That's my kid.
I raised him, good, bad or indifferent? Love that child.
I mean, I just but my mind, just what a

(40:46):
shock at sixty four twenty seven minutes past Big Stories
in the press box. If you missed it last hour,
do not miss it this hour halfway through the radio

(41:08):
program and a half hour closer to what's to be Friday.
We'll start taking your calls in about twenty minutes and
get you ready to get it off your chest. But
that's then. This is now stop the clock gob Dems
coming together to end daylight savings time. We're actually getting
some traction on this. Democrats saying, yeah, it's time for

(41:32):
us to figure this out. But there's some momentum now.
They they point to the Southern States where a permanent
time change would be felt the most. But I'm all
for it. Stay with the time zones, but lock it in.

(41:55):
And I'd be in favor of lock it in right
where we are right now, daylight savings time. Let us
sudjust to the sun naturally and get our Ccadian rhythm
in line for some spiritual creaminess with nature. All right,

(42:17):
you need to listen to this. I teased it yesterday.
This is mister Wonderful from a morning show with Preston's
got guest Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank on CNN.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
One hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough.
I'm advocating four hundred percent.

Speaker 7 (42:37):
I do business in China.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
They don't play by the rules. They've been in the
WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of
the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades.
They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate
in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it,
they manufacture it.

Speaker 7 (42:55):
And sell it back.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Here.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Never has an administra. I want she on an airplane
to Washington to level the playing field. It says, not
about tariffs anymore. Nobody has taken on China yet, not
the Europeans, no administration.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
For decades.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough.
I speak for millions of Americans who have ip that
have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against
the Chinese people. They brought great literacy, art, and tech
to the world. The government cheats and steals. And finally

(43:36):
an administration. You may not like Trump, you may not
like his style or his rhetoric. Finally an administration that
puts up and says enough four hundred percent tariffs. Tomorrow morning,
he'll tell you why. She can only stay the Supreme
leader if people are employed, if we wipe out any

(43:56):
business there, because we are still thirty nine percent of
all consumables on Earth and twenty five percent of the
world's GDP. America is the number one economy on Earth.
With all the cards, we will not have that forever.
It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Now there you go, four hundred percent tariff. And it
should be noted he does business there. And it's important
to note what Chinese tactic had, what they tried to
do yesterday. They went to Australia. The Prime Minister of Australia,

(44:39):
Anthony Albanese, did not receive it very well. They got
an offer from the Chinese ambassador to Australia to join
hands with Beijing against the president's tariffs. The President of
the United States. See this is classic child First, you

(45:01):
just got chi com one on one from Kevin O'Leary,
and part of that is understanding what they tried to
do with Australia. They tried to pick off one part
of a coalition. If you will, look, the United States

(45:24):
would consider Australia an ally tariffs absolutely, just like Israel,
just like every other place around the world until we
sit down and renegotiate. And it was advanced to me
yesterday a fascinating argument that part of this is to

(45:48):
renegotiate the debt of the country to lower the interest
rates on the upcoming debt payments. Now I've got someone
coming on from the hair to Foundation in the next
couple weeks to talk about that, as with the tariffs
as well as that. But Australia just stiff arm China.

(46:08):
We will speak for ourselves. We don't need to join
hands with you, and so I believe as a result
of that their effort failed. Australia sent a message to
the rest of the world. Don't talk to China like this,
don't don't engage with them. China has hit with retaliatory
talent tariffs again. They've escalated things again. That's fine. Seriously,

(46:31):
I'm fine with it. Let's see this through. Forty minutes
after the hour, back with more here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 7 (46:42):
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Break out the roller skates. Oh yeah, the roller skating,
as in roller not inline skating, but roller skating. Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (47:07):
As a matter of fact, I miss it. Haven't done
it in a long, very long time, and every time
I might goodwill, I look for some.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Skates four wheels and a bumper on the front. You
bet you. Yeah. I think I did it once. I
think it was a youth group thing back in the day,
and I yeah, I was so used to even though
it had been years. I was just my mind immediately
went to ice skates. And if you try roller skating
like you ice skate, it's not gonna it's not gonna

(47:37):
be pretty. But hey, this story is is upsetting. Though
there's nothing overtly graphic here. This is just and I
get it. We are we are falling people. We are sinful.

(47:57):
We have a a nature that just is inclined without
a redeemer's help, to just make bad choices and do
terrible things. Now, this is a story of a Brenda
Ruth Deutsche and as I look at the mugshot, I'm

(48:20):
honestly wondering if this is a dude. Now it's not,
but boyle boy, this looks like a really old bad
version of Hulk Hogan and Rick Flair all brought together.
Ruth has The aging process has not been kind to Ruth,
who allegedly is seventy. She is facing charges in Lincoln County,

(48:50):
wherever that is, I don't know. Missouri sorry of neglect,
child abuse, and child endangerment. Prosecutors said that the woman
asked someone who's now a witness in the case to

(49:11):
transport a foster child. Listen to me, a foster child
to Texas in return for a exotic pet, a monkey.
The woman traded her foster child for an exotic monkey.

(49:35):
Apparently the child a physically abused teenager who had been
allegedly abused with a paddle choose, facial bleeding, injuries, etc.
Sent to live in unsanitary conditions without adequate supervision. The

(49:58):
young girl was reportedly left the loan who care for
said exotic animals. And so this woman's bond has been
set at a quarter of a million dollars. Now we'll see,
does she look the type? Yeah? You can't judge a
book by its cover, right, Here's what I will say.

(50:21):
Too often we see stories of foster parents abusing their children.
We see stories of people that adopt children for the
purposes of sexual abuse and having children to then farm
out for deviant purposes for others to pay money to

(50:45):
have access to those children. Is it possible that the
teenagers amplifying things? Yeah? But how the teenager get to Texas.
I'm just saying there's enough here to sustain the allegations
to the point of, well, let's see what the trial brings.
But the issue of foster child care. First of all,

(51:09):
if you're a foster parent, God bless you, and I
mean that sincerely. That is you know, I joke about
aging is not for sissies. Being a foster parent is
a calling and it is not for everyone. And you
have to be stone face sober to look at your

(51:32):
life and that of your spouse and say yes or
no to that question. Are you really up for the task?
Are foster parents needed? Heck yeah? Can it be rewarding?
I would imagine. I've never been one. I can only imagine,
you know, when I've served as a youth pastor for

(51:54):
so many years. You're not a foster parent, but you
kind of end up sort of being in that role
of being the only source of guidance in a young
person's life, for some, the only father figure that they have,
even though you're young. You know, I was in my
mid twenties to early thirties and I was young, but

(52:15):
I recognize the responsibility and loved those kids and tried
to be, you know, a set of ears to hear
and someone speaking wisdom to them. But man, stuff like
that just breaks the heart. Forty eight minutes after the hour,
come back. Let's get you ready for What's the Beef Next?

(52:36):
On The Morning Show with Preston Scott Headlines from the
Bee next hour about an hour from now, we'll give
you some good news, share our best and worst of
the week. But first we'll have What's the Beef Friday,
and you are certainly welcome to call in right now

(52:57):
if you want to be the first one on the
air when we come back after the news at the
top of the hour, you can call. You will not
set an RPI record. The RPI, the radio phone index
is currently set at eighteen minutes. We believe is the
correct number. Eighteen is the number, and that's so you know,

(53:21):
I invented the RPI. But the man who holds the
record without knowing it was the RPI is Rush Limbaugh.
Just to put some context, Rush's RPI is over one
hundred and eighty. People have been on hold waiting to

(53:44):
talk to Rush more than three hours prior to the
show and never got on. So his show ended just
a couple minutes ahead of so I gave it a
I just put it at one eighty is the goal standard.
That means you held for three hours to be on

(54:04):
Rush's show and you did not get on the show.
And that's just incredible that anybody would wait to be
on on the show. It just humbles me. I have
a very modest RPI. It's eighteen rush onoint eighty. That
seems to make sense, doesn't it? I mean it does it?
Just I'm very self aware. My wife sometimes rused the

(54:30):
fact that I am so self aware, but I am.
I hold up a mirror, I hold it up to
society and I hold it up and look at myself.
That's what I do. Doge listen to this. The latest
set of findings twenty twenty four and a half thousand

(54:53):
people over one hundred and fifteen years of age claimed
fifty nine million dollars in benefits in unemployment insurance claims.
The oldest person in the country is one hundred and fourteen.

We have more than twenty four thousand people that have
received unemployment benefits over one hundred and fifteen years of age.
We have twenty eight thousand between the ages of one
and five that have claimed one quarter of a billion
dollars in benefits. Nine thousand, seven hundred people with birth

(57:07):
and we now have one line open. Richard, thank you
for being patient this morning. What's the beef?

Speaker 6 (57:13):
Oh, mister Scott, good morning morning. You know I love
going down to the FSU Baseball Park and watching the
baseball down there. Just a gorgeous venue, you know, and
there's a tradition there where they kind of sing the
Oh Canada, and they built it out. You can hear
them a block away.

Speaker 9 (57:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (57:37):
And my beef is, you know, they had they played
the you know, star Spangled banner and it's cricket. So
I suggest we start singing the Star Spangled banner, tell
the boosters to put the words up on the on
the JumboTron, and let's let's built it out.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
We say, I love it. Yeah, I mean we've you
know what I think has happened, Richard. I think we've
gotten a custom him to people performing the national anthem,
and and we've conditioned too many people of just considering
it like, well, well let's listen to somebody else sing it,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (58:13):
Yeah? And you know one time where I got the idea,
so watch it an NFL game at Wembley in England
and they you know, they played a star Sangle band
or nothing happened and then they played the you know,
the English national ansime and they're all singing sure, you know,
and it's like, well, that's cool, so how about it.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
I I'm with you one hundred percent. Thank you, Richard,
appreciate the phone call. Eight five zero two zero five
w FLA. He's he's advocating that people start singing, you know,
our national anthem. I when you watch he was talking about,
you know, a competition in Wembley. I get it, they're
going to sing the English national anthem, Great Britain, They're

(58:52):
they're they're there. But when you see an international competition
in our our athletes one or two mouth the words,
and then you look at the athletes from these other
countries and they are just belting it out. It's like, yeah,
I remember when we used to have that level of patriotism.
Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA, Greg,
you are up, what's the beef?

Speaker 10 (59:14):
This is not as much a beef as in waki
waki for sound newsoh. It's Senate Bill eight forty six,
and it concerns something I plan to do this summer.
In other words, there are notary publics who watch too often.
George Clooney starring in Michael Clayton and decided to be

(59:35):
the fixer slash bag man for and use the unlicensed
practice of law. And that's what this bill is supposed
to address. So for anyone who plans this summer to
punk down two hundred to three hundred dollars to the
Troy Fane Insurance Company to get licensed, I suggest revisiting

(59:57):
the state Constitution, Article two and find out what you
are allowed to do as a Florida nutterery Republic.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Is that it is? That all you got that?

Speaker 10 (01:00:09):
I just worry about this duke player from South Sudan,
but that's a different story.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Thank you very much. Greg as always fascinating beef eight
five zero two zero five WFLA. Greg is going to
be up next. We got two Greg's back to back.
How about that? We got a Greg standing by and
I'm staring at three open lines. Come on now, citizens,
let's go. I know you've got things to complain about.

(01:00:34):
I read your email. Now's your chance. Trust me. Hearing
yourself say it, You'll feel infinitely better than you will
writing it down. Just remember no profanity, don't make it personal.
Eight five zero two zero five WFLA More of your
calls next ten past the hours, what's the beef Friday?

(01:00:58):
Sort of here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:01:19):
One line open. It can be yours eight five zero
two zero five WFLA, go back to the phone lines.
Greg is standing by. This is another Greg. Good morning, sir. Welcome, Hey, good.

Speaker 11 (01:01:32):
Morning, Preston. Thanks for your show. I love it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:35):
I listen to it all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (01:01:38):
Hey.

Speaker 12 (01:01:38):
My beef today is I'm trying to figure out what
is going on with HB seventy five. HB seventy five
is the flag bill that's currently in the legislator. It
had tons of support by conservatives, flew through the Senate committees,
just fine. This is the bill that keeps divisive symbols

(01:01:59):
out of our rooms and out of state building's aka
the trans flag and the gay flag and everything else. Right,
for some reason, it is stuck in the Inner Governmental
Affairs Subcommittee who is chaired, which is chaired by Alex Rizzo,
and it is not moving and nobody knows why. This

(01:02:22):
is the same bill that was chop blocked last year.

Speaker 11 (01:02:26):
At the last minute by the Senate Chairman Patimoto. And
so here we go again. We've got tons of support
behind this bill, and you know, it's just unbelievable that
it's not moving forward. So I think they're trying to
do this again and just kill it. So if anybody could,
you know, call you a Rep today, mainly Alex Rizzo's office,

(01:02:50):
and ask him what is going on? Why is this
not going anywhere?

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
You know, what might be good is to figure out
what committee it's stalling in and call the rest of
the committee, because if it's his bill, he's behind it.

Speaker 11 (01:03:02):
Yeah, it's the Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee, got it, Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Salmuso is listening well. Salmuso is listening to the program
right now and is making notes, and we'll give you
an update on it on Monday.

Speaker 11 (01:03:20):
That would be great, That would be great. I don't
understand this. We just don't need these divisive symbols in
our schools. Our kids need to focus on their education,
not some social agenda or some conversation starter, you know,
hanging on the classroom wall. That's just you know, non appropriate.
And this means a lot. Yeah to that agenda, I

(01:03:42):
can tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Yep, Greg, I appreciate it. I'll tell you what the
problem is with the legislature right now in general. Instead
of getting their eyes on the people, they're getting their
eyes on themselves. And whenever you focus inward, you miss
everything that you're there to do, and you get caught
up in petty politics, in trying to make donors happy,
instead of doing the bill, the business, the bidding of

(01:04:05):
the people. But thanks very much for the phone call, uh, Pistol.
By any chance, did we get that from Pistol? Pete
Maravich or what.

Speaker 14 (01:04:16):
A little bit? Okay, got a little bit of a bit.
Tell me, it's been pretty major in my life. I
appreciate everything you do on your show.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Thanks.

Speaker 14 (01:04:24):
I'm a commercial I'm a commercial fishman. Okay, they outlawed
in net. I know you enjoyed going fishing. I'm on
the water five six days a week.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
What do you can what are you out there fishing?

Speaker 14 (01:04:38):
I crab now because nets are illegal. What they give
you is so small you can't do anything with it.
But anyways, uh, my beef, I've considered calling you many
many times over the years that there's just so many
fish that just swim and die of old age. People
just do not know. Uh, myself and a few others

(01:05:01):
are out there daily, and I just wish that the
people would allow us to just go and catch so
the consumer can have this wonderful seafood we have here
in the state of Florida. Uh town around False Villo,
what Color County, Jeffson Taylor.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Tell me this, pistol, tell me this. I've always believed
that the people that know the most about the fishery
are the people that fish it commercially for a living.
That you know when that you know when it's too
much and too little fishing.

Speaker 15 (01:05:33):
Correct.

Speaker 14 (01:05:34):
Well, maybe, uh, well, missus Trump, our president, but he's
so busy. Uh, I'm sure we're way down on the
toting pole. But the regulations are as you know, beyond ridiculous. Again,
the population of seafood is so clinical out there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
Are you fishing in are you fishing in federal waters
or state waters?

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (01:05:57):
State?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Well, then then it's not not.

Speaker 14 (01:06:00):
I mean the nets are so small and so tiny.
Once you get literally a few hundred yards off the shore,
you can't literally use it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
You need to reach out. You need to reach out
to State Senator Corey Simon and start there and uh
and reach out to your legislators because you're fishing in
state waters. It's not going to be a Trump issue
no matter what. It's a state issue. And I've always
found Governor to sand Is to be very very uh
welcoming to the fishery. But yeah, take your knowledge, put

(01:06:34):
it to work. I believe in you, Pistol. Thanks very much,
jab and Matt you're next. We have room for two
more callers. Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA.

(01:06:55):
Finally we have the phone lines bag just bagged in. Wonderful,
got time for four more callers and waiting very patiently
is Jabon. Good morning, welcome back to the program. What's
the beef?

Speaker 15 (01:07:10):
Hey, good morning, President.

Speaker 9 (01:07:11):
Shout out to you because I was one of those.

Speaker 15 (01:07:13):
Youth group kids back in Christian Heritage years ago. That's right,
that's back and today I still need prayer to this
day because of some of the Tallahassee driving situations that
we have.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
I thought you were gonna say, because some of the
things you said.

Speaker 15 (01:07:30):
To me, Oh my gosh, let me tell you. Let
me just tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Okays merging.

Speaker 15 (01:07:38):
So here's my here's my beast today. And my wife's
been telling me to call for a couple of weeks,
so you know, the city had to close Henderson Road
because they had kind of an emergency situation, and that's
right there next to NFC Northfork Christians and so it's
caused an issue where we can't use Henderson Road, and
so traffic is backed up, and for coming southbound on

(01:08:00):
Meridian is backed up all the way back past the
Lake Shore drive over. I ten all the way up
to that light at live Oat Plantation and everyone gets
into the left hand lane because when you go up there,
right before the light, you have to merge from the
right lane to the left lane. And so that line
is literally I just drove past all away from live

(01:08:21):
Oat Plantation past Lakeshore because no one wants to get
in that right hand lane and because then they think
if you get in the right hand lane, they have
to merge or skipping the line. Now, what I tell
the people is if everyone filled up both lines and
you merge like a zipper, then everyone's in the same
order and you don't nobody's skipping the line trying to
get ahead. But instead we have this one long line,

(01:08:43):
one lane completely open, and it's all the way backed up,
and it just drives me bonkers every day when I
drive past it. Just everybody use both lanes when you
get to the merge point. Merge like a zipper.

Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
Treat people the right way.

Speaker 15 (01:08:57):
And everything will be better. And if that would be fixed,
I would so much better in my day.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
Jabon, thank you for calling in, Thanks for the memories,
and you need to put that on a T shirt.
Merge like a zipper. Well done, sir. Let's go to Matt. Matt,
you are up. What's the beef?

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
A pressing? Good morning? My beef is you know, there's
not many things I disagree with or a skeptical about
Governor's santus And maybe you could answer this. I work
in the education system in the state and it's getting worse.
Our kids are suffering, our staff are suffering. And I

(01:09:38):
don't know, but it seems like Governor DeSantis is more
concerned about taking things out of schools, which I agree
with him. Some of the material, some of the books,
the age inappropriate books, needed to be taken out. But
could you tell me what is he doing to make
the education system better. Florida is in the mid twenties

(01:10:00):
ranking in education in the country, and it just doesn't
seem to be getting any better. I think I've been
working about three years in the school system, and I
don't see anything getting better.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Matt. I hear the frustration in your voice, and I
think this deserves a longer conversation than I can offer
you right this second. So I promise you that we'll
make time for that conversation sometime in the next couple
of weeks. So keep listening. We'll do that. But I
would just simply say to you in the short term,
I don't think it's the governor's job to make education better.

(01:10:35):
I think it's a parent's, teachers and school district's job
to make it better. I think the governor's job is
to take the big picture, like the secretary of education
or the commissioner of education. Many das look at the
impediments and create an opportunity for kids to learn. But
I would I would submit that there are too many
kids coming into schools not ready to learn, and that

(01:10:57):
means kindergarten. All right, We're going to fit two more
in here real quickly. John, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:11:03):
My beef, Preston, is with anybody and everybody that will
use a toilet and then not flush it. Now, I'm
as live and let live the guys you'll find anywhere,
But that one takes me from docile to hostile really fast.
But the only people I can imagine that could even

(01:11:24):
get a pass on that maybe our uninvited friends from
parts of the world who don't know what this water
filled porcelain contraption is.

Speaker 15 (01:11:34):
That we call a toilet.

Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
But if you and far between, and I.

Speaker 13 (01:11:38):
Think preston, if we could catch the people doing it
and then have the ability to make them clean Portageohn's
on construction sites when it's one hundred degrees out for
about a month, maybe teach them a lesson.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Thank you, sir. I can tell you feel better getting
that off your chest. Ron you're a final caller. What's
the beef?

Speaker 16 (01:11:58):
President?

Speaker 17 (01:11:58):
Thank you?

Speaker 16 (01:11:59):
Always got a so with that, and you kind of
sole my thunder a little bit is about accountability of
our government spending our taxes or wasting our taxes.

Speaker 17 (01:12:10):
And you should have a segment. It's not like you're
going to run out of material for you know, having
something said every day about the solar panels.

Speaker 16 (01:12:21):
Or the building that we leased and didn't use, or
on and on and on. But I think yourself and
every one of the other talk shows should have.

Speaker 17 (01:12:32):
A segment if people don't know, if they don't hear
about it.

Speaker 16 (01:12:36):
Half the people, I'd say more than half of them.

Speaker 17 (01:12:38):
Don't know a world or a thing.

Speaker 16 (01:12:40):
About you know what they waste our money on. So
that needs to be done, and you're great for bringing
it up, but a segment would be nice.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Thank you, Ron, appreciate the phone calling as always, the
kind words. And that's it. Twenty eight past the hour,
Moving on the best and worst of the week, good
news and more on the Morning Show with Rusting.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Scott Double u f l A, or on News Radio
double u f l A, Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Time for the best and worst of the week. This
is where we uh consider the week that we've had
and maybe it's something in the news, maybe it's something
in our own personal life, but we talk about the
things that uh that we think are the best and
worst of the week. And so with that I turned
to Jose Well, all right, cowboy, how to everybody? Everybody?

Speaker 8 (01:13:44):
Yeah, So, keeping with the theme of the week, my
best is the tariffs. I think they're great and I
don't know why everybody's panicking about them.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Just calm down, everyone, It all be all right.

Speaker 8 (01:13:55):
As a matter of fact, the worst is going to
be everybody's reaction to the terrorists. But it was changed
after I heard mister Pistol, and now it is you know,
the fact that the Florida fishermen, you know, can't even
do their job. Uh so that's a that kind of
made made the bad of my week.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
Well at least some of them, right, at least some
of them. You know, he has to go to crabbing.

Speaker 8 (01:14:18):
You just let let him do what they need to
do within reason.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
M My. My best of the week, of course is
the Masters. It's just it is visually stunning to watch
it because the set is the golf course is so
beautiful and up on my blog page. Is it behind
the scenes on I mean literally the guys in Shadows

(01:14:44):
who volunteered to help the they put a staff in
there to help keep get the golf course ready for
the tournament. And how they do it, and he describes
all of it. It's incredible. I mean, if they have
something happen there, they'll fix it and you'll never a
thousand years know that something had to be fixed, repaired
or done. They are that good at what they do.

(01:15:09):
They have a system in their greens that sucks the
water out and dries out the moisture if it rains heavily.
I mean, it's insane. The worst of the week the
Masters only one particular player, Jose Luis Balister. He is

(01:15:33):
from Spain. He plays at Arizona State University. He is
the defending US Amateur Champion. And he missed the restroom
on the thirteenth tee that was there for the players
to use, and so he gets down near the green

(01:15:53):
near what's called Ray's Creek, and one of the players
in his group, Justin Thomas, was kind of working through
an issue on his shot. So Jose decides to go
to raise creek on zip his pants and pee in
the creek. Now, you didn't have a great round of golf,

(01:16:18):
he said. It wasn't embarrassing at all for me. If
I had to do it again, I would do it again.
And that's the problem. That's why it's the worst of
the week is because that young man. I personally, I
would love for a member of the Augusta National Staff
to just walk up to him today and say, if

(01:16:39):
you do that again, you'll be removed from the golf
course immediately. Gentlemen don't urinate on a golf course in
that manner in front of our patrons. They noticed, and
he got a round of applause. He finished. Some think

(01:17:04):
it's funny. I personally think it's disgusting. And I know
that golfers do things like that from time to time.
But in this case, you had a restroom three hundred
and fifty yards earlier. All you had to do is
be aware and you'll have another one in another couple

(01:17:27):
of holes. You're twenty one years old, brother, you're not
fighting prostate problems. That was my worst of the week.
Forty one minutes after the hour. We're going to come
back with some good news. I gotta rescue this segment
with the morning show.

Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Boy, Who want me to pick that some music? It's
got it going on? Oh that was me. It's Friday.
See if FSU Baseball can get things ironed out. By

(01:18:26):
the way, quick reminder, Tonight's game could be rained out
up in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech, which would mean a
double header tomorrow. But regardless, Saturday's game will not be
on ESPN, plus there will be no TV coverage, so
the only place you'll be able to follow the game,
and that may be the double header, if it becomes

(01:18:47):
a double header, will be on our radio stations. So
I'm just saying, catch the action with Eric Luallen and
always remember it a half hour before the first pitch
you run on the board. Tomorrow and today you're doing
today's game as.

Speaker 8 (01:19:02):
Well, No, sir, just tomorrow. Just the doubleheader if there
is a double header.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
If there's not a double header, are you doing the
single Yes? Nice? Okay. This is a story that I
shared with my wife because I just I marvel at Look.
We've talked about our discomfort with where medicine is today,
but there are things that medicine can do, and and

(01:19:30):
you know there are there is a thought out there
that well, for example, if if a woman is born
without the ability to have a child, I'm sorry, but
maybe that's God's way of saying, adopt if you want children.
I understand that mindset, but I also I get this.

(01:19:59):
Amy Isabelle Davidson was born six weeks ago. Her birth, though,
was remarkable, because it was to a woman who had
a womb transplanted into her from her sister. Her sister

(01:20:21):
had already given birth to two children and was older.
And this woman was born without a functioning womb. She
was diagnosed through a rare condition at the age of
nineteen and told she would not be able to have
children naturally. But a procedure has been developed in the

(01:20:44):
subsequent years, and her older sister, Amy, mother of two girls, said,
let's do this. The work is remarkable. They're placed in

(01:21:07):
neighboring operating rooms. In the first the donor's womb, cervix,
fallopian tombs, tubes, plus crucial blood vessels are removed. The
recipient receives the womb, the arteries, the veins, smaller blood vessels.
They're then joined together. They make a couple of other adjustments,

(01:21:37):
and she had a baby. Her husband's sperm was used
and she had a baby girl. And I gosh, it's

(01:21:58):
tough to get your brain around that. I can understand
if somebody feels a little weird about that. But me, now,
that's medicine at its best. And I'm okay. I hope
you're okay, because after all, this is good news. On
the Morning Show with Preston Scott, all right, We've got

(01:22:41):
much I know we'll talk about next week. I've made
a couple of notes here on making sure we talk
about schools and what's being done to improve. I'll see
if I can get the Commissioner of Education on for
a longer visit. But I thank you for your calls

(01:23:04):

It's the Morning Show on WFLA look back.

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
At the program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less.
We started with a throwback tune Carmen doing Lazarus Come Forth,
which is really a setup to the miracle that Jesus
performed just before he entered Jerusalem. And of course next

(01:25:35):
week is Holy Week and we will be devoting a
little extra time to that during the program. But we
started with with Matthew twenty one, a continuation of the
story and a talk about how the crowd that welcomed
him on Palm Sunday called for his crucifixion that Friday.
I mean, just consider that remarkable transition. Big stories in

(01:26:05):
the press box today we will speak. We will speak
for ourselves. I can't I gotta hear some Australian to
really channel it. Well, I didn't do that very well.
Sorry about that. The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanize,
gets asked by China to join hands. I'm sorry mate,

(01:26:27):
Well speak for ourselves a little better. Yeah, they thumb
their nose at him. Well done. The Chilcom's trying to
divide and conquer thing. It didn't work. So they raised
tariffs back on the United States. Like that's gonna help.
Kevin O'Leary. He thinks four hundred percent tariffs on China
is more reasonable. Four we're holding all the cards. Friends,

(01:26:52):
