Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Five minutes past the hour. It is the beginning of
the Tuesday edition of The Morning Show with Preston Scottie Jose.
I am Preston, Hello friends, ruminators. Great to be with
you this morning. I just could not help but think
yesterday I went out spent the day, well part of

(00:37):
the day, watching golf at Seminal Legacy Golf Course, NCAA
regional watch the Florida State guys play their opening round.
It's out there probably two and a half hours, and
just had a wonderful time watching golf. And if you
are a golf fan and you do not go, you

(00:57):
are just missing it. There are some wonderful golfers and
there are no gallery ropes, and there's really no crowd
at all, and you can see, I mean, Luke Clanton
of FSU is going to be a pro in two months,

(01:18):
if not sooner. He already has his tour card. He's
the top ranked amateur player in the world. And oh,
by the way, he's leading the tournament after the first day.
Another FSU player just a couple of shots behind. There's
other great players from a bunch of other schools. You
will just see some tremendous golf and no crowd to battle,

(01:40):
and it's free. I'm sorry, I just had to say
that because it was a great day yesterday. Let's start
today with scripture Philippians four six and seven, very very
familiar passage. Let's just dig a little bit deeper. Do
not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer

(02:03):
and supplication, with thanksgiving attitude. See that speaks to attitude
in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, with and
with an attitude of gratefulness. Let your request be known
to God, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding,

(02:25):
will guard your hearts and your minds. In Christ Jesus.
This is perhaps the hardest lesson a young person ever
has to learn, and it's a lesson that a lot
of us really struggle with in our Christian walk, all right,

(02:48):
and it all ties to averse like this, dealing with prayer,
dealing with our attitude, and seeking God for things in
our life and around our life, for our friends, our
loved ones. But it's such a difficult lesson. As a parent,

(03:12):
you sometimes say no to your son or daughter because
you know what's best for them, because of your life
experience as children and as young people. When we ask
questions of our parents, we generally did not ask questions fairly,

(03:36):
meaning we were okay with no or yes. Either way,
we would have reacted the same. Maybe you no generates
a little disappointment, but we're like, now that's not going
to be good enough. We need to figure out how
to get you to say yes, because that's what we want.
We want you to say yes to our request. Mom, dad,

(03:57):
So let me rephrase this, or let me work a deal,
or let me cut. And one of the most important
lessons you can teach your child is to receive no
just as good of an answer as yes. Now, let's
fast forward. The reason why that's important is because you're

(04:22):
training your child in the way they should go, and
they're going to be petitioning God, and God's going to
say no, and that decision right there. Am I going
to be obedient to God's answer and be flooded with

(04:43):
a peace that passes under I don't understand, but it's okay.
You see what I'm saying, That no is flooded with
a peace where we just say God loves me, he
knows what's best. The answer is no. Okay, it's okay.
I can be a little disappointed, but it's gonna be okay.

(05:04):
I have a piece that passes understanding. You play a
role in training your son or daughter to receive those
no's in life that will come from God. Just like
there's a yes that comes from God, that's a blessing.
No is a blessing too. I say it this way.
No is just as good of an answer as yes,

(05:26):
if not more so, because sometimes no protects us from danger.
Noodle on that today and share it with your kids.
Ten past the hour, it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(05:53):
All right, it's May thirteenth. Inside the American Patriots Almanac,
we go sixteen oh seven Colonists found Jamestown, first permanent
English settlement what is now the United States. Eighteen forty
six Congress declares a state of war between the United

(06:13):
States and Mexico. And it hasn't stopped. No, it hasn't, Gringo,
I will belied you. Eighteen sixty four, first military burial
takes place at Arlington. I'm embarrassed to say that when

(06:35):
I have been to Arlington National Cemetery, I did not
know at the time that it was originally the property
of Roberty Lee. Arlington is what he named it, and
the Union troops and officers decided to take his land

(06:58):
because they viewed him as a trader. Though a man
of honor he was. He would not fight for the Union.
He fought for the Confederacy because I was always a
higher call for Old Virginia and that was his land.
Arlington is a beautiful piece of land. And sitting on

(07:21):
top of everything is Robert E. Lee's I think his
home is still on top of it. So they they
took it. Third year of the war. Incredible, incredible, it really,

(07:43):
it just it still boggles my mind. Eighteen sixty five,
a year later, the last battle of the Civil Wars
fought at Palmito Ranch in South Texas. We don't think
of Texas and the Civil War, do we? We just don't.
And then in nineteen fifty four, our signs the Saint
Lawrence Seaway Development Act to construct a system of canals

(08:05):
between Montreel and Lake Erie. So there you go. Let's
see here today is national creuton day. Crutons are underrated.
A good creuton that has a little crunch but still

(08:28):
is tender enough for the fork is is just it's
a chef's kiss. It just is National Fruit Cocktail Day.
My wife does not like the mixing and mingling of fruit.
I don't mind. It doesn't bother me. My wife will

(08:51):
on occasion tolerate honeydew and cantalope together, but only in
a pinch. Today day's National apple pie Day. There you go,
and National frog Jumping Day. It's just because you know,
I've been watching The President is in Saudi Arabia meeting

(09:16):
with the Crown Prince and all of the dignitaries there.
So there's a bunch of people lined up, and not
a bunch of Saudi's, a bunch of internationals lined up
to shake both of their hands, the Crown Prince and
the President, and they're chatting back and forth. And I'm
thinking to myself, if I'm in that line, I'm rehearsing.

(09:43):
It's almost like Luca Bratzi from The Godfather. Don Corleon,
I want to thank you for inviting No, Don Corleon,
he's outside waiting to see the dawn on the day
of his daughter's wedding, on this day of your and
I hope she has a child, a beautiful masculine child.

(10:07):
And I mean, it's just it's classic the rehearsal, and
I keep thinking about that as these guys are walking
up to shake hands. They've got their one shot, and
I wonder how many of them walk away going? Really,
that's all I could come up with. Do you start
with a little joke or do you say you know
I read your book or I mean I watched the Apprentice?

(10:29):
What do you how you got one shot? What are
you gonna say? What? What is your introduction? What is
your glib witty remark? What is it? How pithy can
you be in the clutch? See, that's where my mind
goes watching stuff like this. I'm wondering what are they
coming up with? And how many of her kicking themselves going?

(10:50):
Can you believe it? I said, they and they see
their wife. They see their wife, and their wife goes,
Why did you talk to the President the Crown Prince
about I was stupid insane? You said, what, Oh honey,
that's dumb. I mean, it's all right. Seventeen minutes past,

(11:12):
tell you about five fishermen. When we come back, we
are edging closer to the season debut of a loan Thursday,

(11:32):
we'll talk about our choices. Hey, speaking of Thursday, let
me get this said, especially for you that are being
advised to have surgery on a joint when you're back.
I can't tell you how many people over the last

(11:53):
several years I have begged to stop and get seen
by a particular group of specialists that have avoided surgery
because of it. And Thursday on the program, I am

(12:20):
going to have the co founder of this group on
the show third hour, Thursday show to talk about how
to prevent, how to limit the chances of you having surgery,
how to enhance your likelihood of having a good long

(12:45):
life from a joint and flexibility perspective, but avoiding surgery.
I will always remember this. Surgeons want to do surgery,
just it's what they do. Surgeons want to do surgery,

(13:11):
and I think a lot of surgeries are unnecessary, just
like I think a lot of medications are unnecessary. We're
over medicated, and I think we're Look, there's a time
and a place for surgery, and we have the best
in the world when it's absolutely necessary, but it's not

(13:32):
always absolutely necessary. And so Thursday, I am going to
devote time to helping you. Because we have older people
that listen to this program, we have active people that
listen to this program. We have people that love to,
you know, play pickleball and tennis and golf and work
in the yard and do things. And you're fighting different

(13:55):
injuries and you go see somebody and they say, ap, yep,
you gotta get some surgery. Probably don't. And I'm taking
time five segments to help keep you from having surgery,
or to at least have a better idea of whether
you really need it or not. I'll just give you

(14:16):
one little tidbit. Young man supposed to have ACLMCL both
diagnosed is blowing both ligaments, needing surgery. Because most operating rooms,
sorry emergency rooms, doctors don't know what to do. They

(14:36):
do the wrong thing. They mobilize the joint. It's actually
the worst thing you can do. And even though it
was a little bit late in the game, I got
this friend of mine, who I've known since he was born,
to see this group of specialists. He had no surgery.

(14:57):
They were able to prevent him from having an ACLMCL
blown knee, no surgery, just saying I've had shoulders, elbows, hips, backs,
all kinds of people. So anyway, five fishermen rescued after

(15:20):
fifty five days at sea in the Pacific. Their boat
broke down. Alternator crapped out two days after setting sail
from south of Peru's capital, Pukusana Bay south of Lima.
No starter, no lights. Everything that a battery generated they

(15:42):
didn't have. They took rusted water out of the engine.
When a fish passed by, they would catch it parboil
it to eat. So they had a way of making
some sort of rudimentary stove. Fifty five days, they drank
rain water and saltwater. I don't know how they survived

(16:05):
drinking salt water. I don't know how you survive drinking
salt water, but you do what you have to do.
But they got found, checked into the hospital. They'll be okay.
Earlier this year, we talked about the story of a
fisherman found ninety five days Peruvian fishermen in the Pacific.

(16:28):
What is it about people in Peru y'all getting lost?
Come on, now, you ever heard of a compass? Tell
somebody where you're going? And I mean the basic no,
I get it. It's a totally different culture. Twenty eight
after the hour. I just these stories stand out because
Alone is coming up soon. Our big stories today are

(17:02):
very much inspired by our guests in the third hour,
Justin Haskins. These are polls that are produced by Heartland.
That's where Justin is and Rasmussen, and they are fascinating

(17:23):
and they illustrate how completely out of touch Democrats are
from not just you and me. They really have nothing
to say to you and me. They just don't. It's
not unkind or inaccurate to suggest that Democrats are speaking

(17:48):
Swahili while you and I are speaking English. We don't.
They can't understand us, and we don't understand them. Try
this on. Thirty two percent of Democrat voters say they
hope that China wins the tariff war. Thirty percent of

(18:11):
Democrats say they hope Trump wins, but thirty two percent
of Democrats want China to win. Seventy one percent of
likely voters say they think a free market economic system
is better than socialism. That's good seventy one percent of

(18:34):
likely voters not Democrats likely voters. Twelve percent of voters
say socialism is better. Forty six percent of voters say
they do not want to see a democratic socialist candidate
win the presidential election. Thirty one percent say they do so.

(19:00):
That would mean that Forty six percent do not want
to see a Bernie Sanders Alexandria Coso Cortez become president
with rumors of them running. Can you believe there are
people that actually want AOC to run. However, support for

(19:28):
socialism and communism remains relatively high among younger voters. Thirty
eight percent of likely voters aged eighteen to twenty nine
have a very favorable or somewhat favorable impression of communism.
Fifty percent of voters in the same demographic say they
would like to see a Democratic socialist candidate win in
twenty twenty eight. What's interesting is that young males are

(19:51):
swinging heavily to conservatism, which tells you that this is
likely driven by young females. Likely we'll talk about this
with Justin and then a second poll, or at least
inside of that. They asked these questions. Seventy one percent

(20:12):
of Democrats support imprisoning Elon Musk for his role with
DOJE imprisoning putting him in prison seventy one percent of Democrats.
Sixty eight percent of likely Democrat voters support a hypothetical

(20:33):
law that would ban him from serving in government. If
that doesn't illustrate the language. Excuse me, the language barrier
that exists between main street America, which I think you

(20:53):
and I represent, I really do. We're the ones that
think men shouldn't compete against women. I mean these these
are fundamental things that I think main street Americans i'd
set aside. Conservative just average Americans think Democrats don't speak
that language. They're incapable. Forty minutes past the hour, those

(21:15):
are the big stories in the press box here in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Don't worry, We're here to make it all better. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
You know, when you're in charge, things are different. When
you're the person signing the checks. Things are different when
you're the person that has to make decisions on behalf
of a nation. It's different. Note what's happening to care Starmer,

(22:00):
Prime Minister of the UK. He's traveling around Europe with
a bunch of globalists, Emmanuel Macron of France, Germany's murders,
Poland's tusk tusk. I just think of Fleetwood Mac that
terrible song done with the USC marching band tusk Ah,

(22:21):
that was so bad. I was so disappointed because Fleetwood
Mac was just a brilliant band really anyway. Trailing in
the polls after the upsurging Reform UK party pressure from

(22:41):
even inside his own Labor party, listen to this, Starmer,
according to the Associated Press, said he would end Britain's
failed experiment in open borders. His words. Less than two
weeks after the Reform UK, the hard right party I
would say not hard right, I would say Conservative, led

(23:05):
by Nigel Fraj, scored big victories in local elections. Labor
and center right Conservatives, long dominant parties in British politics,
both saw their support crater in contests for local government
councils and mayors. So Starmer says this, in every area
of the immigration system, work, family and study will be

(23:30):
titaned so we have more control. We will create a
system that is controlled, selective and fair. See even though
the UK voted to leave the Euros Brexit, remember the
Brexit vote, net immigration has quadrupled since the UK left

(23:52):
the European Union. It's quadrupled and Brits are not happy.
Listen to the change. Starmer now in charge and seeing
that the people of the UK are not happy. A

(24:14):
nation depends on rules, fair rules. They give shape to
our values, guide us toward our rights, of course, but
also our responsibilities, the obligations we owe to each other.
In a diverse nation like ours, we risk becoming an
island of strangers. In my mind, I just hear Biff hello,

(24:41):
McFly hello anybody there, of course, And that's what we're
missing in our country by not requiring English and not
forcing assimilation. The reason why is because you actually help

(25:02):
people succeed when you force them to learn the language.
I ate at a restaurant a couple weeks ago with
my daughter and my grandchildren, and the gentleman there did
not speak one word of English. And he's the host
and the waiter, and he stared at me. All he

(25:27):
could do is point at the menu because he had
no If I said water, he knew that. If I
said Coca cola, he probably would have known that. When
I asked him for a bottle for a glass of
warm water, he just stared at me, Baby needed warm

(25:50):
water for a formula. He brought me water that was
so scalding hot I had to use multiple napkins to
hold the glass and then it still burned me. We
don't help ourselves. It's just this is a classic example.
You talk tough until you're the man in charge, and

(26:12):
then all of a sudden you realize we got a problem,
and yeah they do, and we still have one here
forty six past the hour, a court case that could
be significant. I'm going to do my best to narrate

(26:46):
this story. From town Hall. US District Court for Western
District of Tennessee. Jaquan Bridges pled guilty to possessing a
machine gun after engaging in a shootout with police officers
in twenty twenty three on a highway in Tennessee. He

(27:08):
was arrested with a Glock forty cow pistol with an
attachment that converted it to a machine gun, and has
fought to dismiss the charge on constitutional grounds, he claimed
through his attorney. The twenty twenty two US Supreme Court
ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Versus

(27:30):
Bruin required the dismissal of the charge because machine guns
fall under the definition of arms used in the Second Amendment.
District Judge John Falkes disagreed. US District Judge he said
Heller explained that the type of weapons protected by the

(27:52):
Second Amendment were those in common use at the time.
We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical
tradition of prohibiting the carying of dangerous unusual weapons, he said. However,
Bridge's attorney assigned to him, Federal public Defender Greg Guchin,

(28:15):
argued that his client had no criminal history or prior
convictions that precluded him from owning or possessing a firearm
at the time of his arrest, and he yours the
panel to conduct a historical analysis required under Bruin told
the court that there are no historical analogs to machine guns.

(28:35):
So now it's in front of US Circuit Judge John Nowbandian,
who said, but it's not whether there is an analog
to a machine gun. It's only whether there is an
analog to a ban on entire weapon types. The test
is are they dangerous and unusual? The attorney responded with

(28:55):
the proliferation of these weapons, I don't think the government
can meet that standard. US Assistant Attorney Aileen Kuoh brought
up a court ruling Hamblin versus the US in two
thousand and nine, where the court used the Heller decision
to determine that the Second Amendment did not protect Tennessee

(29:16):
State Guard member who owned several machine guns. However, Judge
now Bandian noted Hamblin doesn't apply after Bruin. In other words,
to this federal judge, Bruin supersedes it, eliminated the Hamblin ruling.
It's over. It doesn't have any bearing at all. When

(29:39):
asked for historical example supporting her contention the Second Amendment
doesn't cover machine guns, she responded the regulation on gunpowder
in the eighteen hundreds regulated the amount of gunpowder an
individual could own. The judge didn't buy it. Now Bandian
said that was a fire code issue, so they wouldn't
blow up the town. Isn't the nineteen eighty six machine

(30:02):
gun ban the first that's fairly powerful evidence of no
historical evidence of the federal government banning any category of
weapons the end of the story, It says, this could
be a pivotal case, especially if the court rules against
the machine gun ban, it would constitute a victory for

(30:24):
gun rights. Judge now Bandian is correct the laws do
not pass the Bruin test, which requires all gun restrictions
to have historical analogs, meaning that if a regulation does
not have a similarity with other gun laws passed earlier
in American history. It is deemed unconstitutional. We'll see if

(30:47):
other judges on the panel agree. This could be a
massive case that would find itself before the Supreme Court.
No doubt. Hours waiting when we come back the Pope's brother.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Oh yeah, an hour from now, Justin Haskins will join us.
But between now and then, oh boy, are you watching

(31:29):
any of what's going on with the Pope's brother?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
This is great. First, let's set the story up. One
of his older brothers. He's got a couple. His eldest brother,
Lou Lou Provost Lou Provost. Lou lives in Florida, and

(31:57):
he told Newsmax Thursday, I wasn't feeling all that well,
so I notified my work. I was gonna lay load
to day, stay in bed, try to get some rest,
feel better for the next day. He was sleeping when
his wife called out to him, telling him that white
smoke had appeared above the Sistine Chapel to signify a
pope had been chosen. I turned on the TV. I

(32:19):
was watching Newsmax. You guys were live. It had a
little chimney in the corner. When the Cardinal came out
to announce to the crowd that we have a new pope.
Then I'm sitting up in bed. I'm waiting, and he
starts to say the name Roberto. And as soon as
he started to say, my mind starts blowing because I
think there's only one other cardinal with the name Robert.

(32:42):
And when he said Francisco, that sealed it, because there's
no Robert Francis other than Robert Francis Provost. I shot
up out of bed, got dressed, ran into the other room,
put it on the big TV, and sat there in awe.
Feelings of joy and zoos were in. Imagine, it's your
little brother, he's the Pope. It's an indescribable feeling. I'm

(33:06):
super proud of him. He joked that as he was
watching his brother do the initial prayer as the pope,
he heard him switch to Spanish. I said, quit showing off,
your little jerk. But he did his thing, and my
mind immediately flashed back to the fifties and sixties growing up,
and I thought, remember that time, way back when when
we used to tease him about being the pope, and

(33:28):
he's the pope. I had to modify my activities in
what I do and say, And all right, I think
we're back on the air. We had a little power
surge here. That's happened fewer than five times since. I'm

(33:53):
resetting the board as we talk, friends, and so we've
got to make sure that everything's back where it's supposed
to be. Can you check and make sure we're on
the air. I think we're on the air. Just monitor
the air feed and make sure that we are on.

(34:14):
I'm thinking, Uh's God unhappy with me talking about the
Pope's brother. I don't know anyway, we were just talking
about the Pope's brother, just ribbing on his brother a
little bit. But here's where it gets good. The dude
is a maga Republican and the media is going nuts

(34:43):
dealing with the fact that he is. He's from Port Charlotte.
He's posted for my upset crying left leaning friends and
others suffering from TDS. This service seems right for you,
and it's a Trump anti Trump support group getting counseling.

(35:04):
He has previously posted a video of a young Nancy
Pelosi arguing for tariffs on China back in the day.
These bleeping yes, the Pope's brother, These bleeping liberals crying
about tariffs is just donereal? Do they not know there

(35:25):
was a thing called video? Just listen to what this
drunk bleep has to say. In the mid nineties, long
before her husband had grinder dates, he also posted Obama
and the Democrats they suck. They're one very small step

(35:46):
from being full blown communists longing for the total destruction
of our way of life and turning this country into
a dictatorship and a racist one on top of it. Oh,
it's gonna be fun. It'll be interesting to see how
much he modifies his conduct on social media. But uh,

(36:08):
the Pope's brother, it's I can see the television series,
can't you, or at the very least an episode on
The Simpsons with somebody portraying the Pope. And then you've
got the Pope's brother. Lou Hey, listen, your pontiffness, just

(36:32):
remember you're my little brother, okay, and I can still
give you a noogies. Dan Pat's eleven past the Hour
back with more here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Thing Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
This is the Way My News Radio one hundred point
seven WUFLA.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
All right, twelve past the hour. Just sit back and
basket this. This is the president yesterday. He's he's signing
an executive order lowering drug prices. All right, so he's
got the key people Food and Drug Administration. Hhs. He's
got you know, Robert F. Kennedy Junior standing behind him.

(37:22):
And then someone from ABC, not recognizing the moment, fires
off a question about a jet A seven forty seven.
I want to say, it's a Dash eight that was
given to Trump as a gift, a gift check out.
This is why we love him. This is brilliant. Why

(37:44):
you're saying, people who.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
View got luxury jet as a personal to get to you,
why not leave it your ABC?

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Fake news?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Why only ABC?

Speaker 7 (37:52):
Well a few of you would, let me tell you,
you should be embarrassed to asking that question they're giving
us AT I could say, no, no, no, don't give us.
I want to pay you a billion or four hundred
million or whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
Or I could say thank you very much. You know,
there was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you
ever hear me? In one ADQ tournament? It was a
great golfer and he had a motto, when they give
you a putt, you say thank you very much. You
pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole.
A lot of people are stupid. They say no, no,
I insist on putting it, and then they put it

(38:27):
and they miss it and their partner gets angry at him.
You know what, remember that Sam Snead. When they give
you a putt, you pick it up and you walk
to the next hole, and you say thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Man, I'm sorry if you may work at this and say,
have you ever been given a gift worth millions of
dollars and in not receive.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
It's not a gift to me, It's a gift to
the Department of Defense. And you should know better because
you've been embarrassed enough, and so has your network. Your
network is a disaster. ABC is a disaster.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Look, the real story here is that Boeing is screwing
up again. Obama started the process of getting a new
contract for a new fleet of Air Force ones. Yes fleet,
because they have at least two of them, and one

(39:24):
is in essence of decoy. It's there just in case.
And Air Force one brings all kinds of things with it.
They bring, you know it. When the president's on board,
they have to have their own fuel supply. When they
go to a foreign country, they don't rely on their fuel.
They use their own. They bring their own limousines, their

(39:48):
own escort, you know, helicopters that I mean, the whole
nine yards. It's a remarkable level of security. But the
fleet's years old, and the new seven forty sevens, which
Boeing was supposed to deliver, they got the contract in
twenty eighteen with a delivery date of twenty twenty four.

(40:11):
It's twenty twenty five and they don't have them. So
this is more about Boeing. Once again, man, that poor company.
Could they have gotten it? They they don't have enough
room on their face for the black eyes they're getting
because it's one after another, after another after another, the

(40:34):
astronauts stranded in space, Boeing, the seven thirty seven Max
Boeing you've got now delays on this, problems with defense contracts,
it's just it's endless. I just loved his answer. They
offered a jet, We said, yes, thank you. Okay, sure,

(41:00):
he's as transparent as he can be. It's not like
it's been hidden. It's just they don't know what to
do with him. Sixteen past the hour, I put on

(41:39):
the Rundown wth question mark. I have a soft spot
for Congressman Derek van Orden. We tried to help him
get elected even though he's a congressman in a district
in Wisconsin. Because of my soft spot, I had him

(42:01):
on the show. I got to know him, not personally,
but I just Act of Valor the movie. Have you
ever seen Act of Valor Jose the Navy Seal movie?

Speaker 8 (42:21):
I believe so it sounds very familiar. Is that the
one that we're fighting down the hill are there in Afghanistan.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
No, this is about hunting down Jihati terrorists that are
coming to the United States and there's an interrogation scene
and it all of the stars. I've had two of
the stars of the movie on the show, the lead
Rourk Denver, who is a Navy Seal and I believe

(42:49):
a chief, and then Derek Van Orden, who's now in Congress.
Derek Van Orden and years as a commander, senior chief

(43:13):
Navy Seal. He's the guy that does some interrogations. When
they get a bad guy, they bring the senior chief
in to do some interrogating, and that's what he does
in the movie. And I just I loved it. He
played himself. They had a bunch of Navy seals in
this movie. The reason for the WT is he had

(43:35):
to miss some votes last week because of credible threats
to his family. Missed votes because of threats made against
his wife, children, and grandchildren. And it's really clear. FBI's investigating,

(44:03):
Department of Justice investigating, Postmaster General investigating because it was
mailed in threat but apparently it contained information that made
it immediately credible. The dude's a seal man. I don't
care what you say whoever's barking up that tree, But

(44:29):
why is he being targeted this one singular congressman from
Wisconsin because someone in his district or near his district
hates him because he's a Republican in Congress. If he
were a Democrat, he would never ever be bothered. And
that's what I want to draw your attention to. There

(44:51):
are occasional right wing jerks out there, extremists, hardliners that
are idiots, but by and large, we just don't tolerate
this crap. Violence is resorted to, usually by people that

(45:12):
don't have the intellectual argument, and they get so frustrated
by the fact that they don't have anything to say,
they got nothing that they resort to personal insults and
then they resort to violence. That's what happens. They get
so wound up. But just think about where we are. Guys,

(45:35):
serve this country for twenty six years as a seal
several combat tours, survives all of that and has to
deal with death threats from a constituent more than likely
in his own congressional district, threatening his family because he's

(45:55):
serving in congress. What the heck? That's how this political
discourse and the violence always fueled by the left. It
just is friends, And I know for some of you
that are Democrats, you're like, oh, here we go again.
Prove me wrong. For every one episode you can show

(46:18):
me where it's right wing whatever, I'll show you twenty
On the left, it's just not even close. This hate,
this vitriol that turns to violence is always on the left.
We are the ultimate live and let live inclusive. That's

(46:41):
us because we'll say to you if you if you
are are transsexual, we'll say, hey, you're welcome, but we're
gonna tell you you're wrong, but we'll have a good
discussion about it. You threaten violence or commit violence, you

(47:03):
resort to profanities, you resort to name calling. The people
that I've banned off of my email list for the
last twenty three years, there's about five or less, and
all of them are lefties, all of them. Twenty eight
minutes past the Big Stories in the Press box justin

(47:25):
Haskins next hour, Well, we're still running on back up.

(47:46):
Don't know what's going on. There's something weird been happening
power wise, in and around. Some cell towers are probably
lacking power, so certain parts of the city are likely
you're likely struggling getting a phone signal. But because our
crack engineering team i e. Charlie is on top of things.

(48:10):
We have a we have a stand by generator. We've
always had that here. But we're seven seconds man, we
are back up. It has to wait and see what's
going on the the The technology in most stand by
generators is such that it's like, okay, is this a
temp is this just a short little thing, or are

(48:30):
we out Let's just see what two three, six, seven, Okay,
let's starter up and we're running on generator right now.
So you're welcome and thank you, Charlie. Big Stories in

(48:52):
the Press Box two polls from Heartland and Rasmus, and
we'll talk to Justin Haskins about this. Sixty eight percent
of likely Democrat voters support a hypothetical law that would
ban Elon Musk from serving in government. Just about seventy

(49:13):
percent of Democrats think that that's okay. Seventy percent would
strongly or somewhat support a hypothetical law that would put
him in prison for his role heading up Doge. That

(49:36):
is horrifying. Other findings, thirty two percent of Democrat voters
hope that China wins the terror for not the United States,
not Trump. We don't want him to win anything. You know,

(50:00):
I can relate to that feeling. I didn't. I didn't
want Obama to get anything done. I agreed with Rush
I want him to fail. Because the difference is what
Obama stated he wanted to do was to totally transform
this nation, and every one of his stated goals was

(50:23):
moving us towards socialism, kill manufacturing, check. He just didn't
think he he want at one point said to paraphrase,
get over it, people, those jobs aren't coming back. Oh yes,
they have come back. Even though there was a four

(50:44):
year respite with Joe Biden, the Obiden administration. Those jobs
are coming back. The effort to totally transform this nation failed.
Has it been transformed? Yes, in certain segments. We're largely
battling the battles we are socially because of Obama and

(51:07):
to a certain degree the weakness of George W. Bush
preceding Obama. But thirty two percent of Democrats hoping China
wins because they want to spite Trump. Forty minutes past
the hour, those are your big stories. We'll talk more
about these poles. There's more inside.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
These poles with Justin Haskins The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Recession recipes are a thing on social media. It's a
thing on TikTok. Videos focusing on recession or budget meals
are trending, demonstrating how to make dishes that will help
you stretch the almighty dollar, featuring ingredients that are inexpensive

(52:25):
or that people may already have regularly in their homes.
I question a recipe that combines lentils and ground turkey
to make a hamburger? Is ground turkey less expensive than beef?

(52:48):
I used to shop for ground turkey quite a bit
for my wife. I haven't bought it of late. But
maybe someone can just quickly tell tell me whether ground
turkey is cheaper than ground beef. But I you know,
first of all, I am not a impossible whopper guy.

(53:12):
I'm not. I'm not into fake meat, even though I
know poultry is is a meat per se. It's it's
pretending to be hamburger. It's not what do you what
do you have there?

Speaker 7 (53:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (53:28):
So ground ground turkey is often less expensive.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Than ground beef by how much? Let me see here?

Speaker 8 (53:37):
It is not seen in particular. I think it's based
on where you're shopping, but on average.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Let's see price of ground beef versus versus ground turkey.
Turkey eighty nine percent lean for forty, ground beef five
seventy nine pound for buck thirty. I'm going to the

(54:07):
ground beef. But okay, so ground turkeys a little bit cheaper,
all right? Fair enough? Apparently the hashtag of budget meal
is up twenty percent in usage. If you had to,

(54:27):
what do you do to stretch the dollar when it
comes to cooking.

Speaker 8 (54:32):
I filly flay meats, use rice and beans pretty much
a lot of the Cuban foods that my grandma taught
me how to cook come from, you know, the impoverished
struggle of the Cuban communism.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
So so yeah, so they had to learn to stretch. Oh, yes, everything, yes,
sir everything.

Speaker 8 (54:51):
You're only allowed a pound of meat pound of rice
per month, so you got to really make that last.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
How do you make a pound of me anything last
a month? Is it a pound per person? Was it?
Do you remember? Per family?

Speaker 8 (55:08):
From what I hear from?

Speaker 1 (55:09):
And that's what the Democrats want us to to go to, right, unbelievable.
The advice is always look and find things on sale
that fall into the category of versatile. See that's how

(55:33):
did hamburger helper become a thing. Hamburger helper became a
thing because of the multiple ways you can take a
hamburger ground beef and use it as a basis of
a meal. I would say the same is true of rice.
There are so many different dishes you can make with rice.
I would contend ramen ramen noodles are unbelievably affordable, and

(55:58):
the things you can do with aramon, with chicken ramen
and chicken pork beef, and all you do is change
up the sauce or the flavoring, the seasoning with the
various proteins that you add to the ramen, you've got
a totally different dish. What I love using ramen for

(56:21):
is different Asian dishes. And now I know we're going
to get off the lane we're traveling in when I
say shrimp, But shrimp mixed with ramen and a Kung
Po sauce or a taake sauce, or a Mongolian sauce
or just a simple soy based sauce of any kind

(56:41):
is genius, absolutely incredible. But the things you can and
so I get it. There are ways you can eat
really well and tasty for not much money. And so
it's just interesting that they're calling it recession recipes. Interesting.
Forty six minutes past the hour, come back with a
manly minute and a piece of trump that you just

(57:04):
have to hear to believe. Ah, the familiar strings, the
familiar sound that hearkens to another episode of a manly
Minute here on the Morning Show with Preston Sky, Good
Morning Friends. These are tips, skills, values, virtues, thoughts, ideals

(57:29):
to teach your young son so that you can one
day look at him and say you are now a man,
male by birth, man by choice. It'll also make your
son coveted by all of the girls. Deep down, a
real woman wants a real man. You know what I'm saying.

(57:53):
This is one that Okay, I'm fully transparent with you.
I don't know enough about but I'm telling you to
do this even though I'm lacking. Teach your son how
to tie essential knots. There are roughly seven knots that

(58:15):
are considered essential knots to learn. How to tie the
square knot, the bowline, two half hitches, the top line hitch,
the clove hitch, the figure eight knot, and the sheet bend.
Each one has very specific applications and uses. Knots are

(58:43):
incredibly important to learn. So pull up a video if
you have to. If you don't know all of them,
Teach your son how to make these knots and when
to use them. It will come in so handy of
his life. So here you go. There's your mainly minute.
All Right, I promised you a brilliant We've already heard

(59:07):
Trump be Trump with the media. This is this is
this is just this is Donald.

Speaker 6 (59:17):
I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
who's a business man, very very very top guy. Most
of you would have heard of him, a highly neurotic,
brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
The fat, the fat shot drug.

Speaker 6 (59:36):
And he called me up and he said, President calls.
He used to call me Donald, Now he calls me President.
So that's nice respect. But it's a rough guy, smart guy,
very successful, very rich. I wouldn't even know how we
would know this, but because he's got comments the president.
Could I ask you a question. What I'm in London

(59:57):
and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.
I said, it's not working. They said, he said, I
just paid eighty eight dollars and in New York I
paid thirteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
What the hell is going on now? First of all,
the fat shot, it's not working. It's highly neurotic. I
wonder what his friend thinks hearing this. I'm highly neurotic.
What does he mean by that? A fat shot? But

(01:00:41):
then he drops the hammer over one thousand dollars in
New York eighty eight bucks in the UK. I mean,
there you go. That's what we were talking with Joe
Camps about yesterday, the cost of medication. Now there's a

(01:01:02):
part of me that's like, we're over medicated. And I
just wonder if it gets cheaper, is it gonna get worse. Now,
that's not offsetting the fact that those that need certain drugs,

(01:01:23):
you need them, but there are some people that are
taking drugs that don't need them. You need to just
get healthier, you need to take nutrients. You need to
go a different route to get to the cause and
not just treat the symptom, because most medications are symptom based.
They treat symptoms, they't they don't deal with causation anyway.

(01:01:46):
All right, when we come back a long awaited conversation.
We missed him last month, we got him back this month.
Justin Askins's next, and here we go. It's the third

(01:02:09):
hour of the Morning Show. Great to be with you, Tuesday,
May the thirteenth, unbelievable. Before you know what, we are
going to be shopping for Christmas and putting up the tree. Yep,
OSE's over there in Studio one A. I'm here in
Studio one B, and I am joined once again by
our friend from the Heartland Institute. He is an author,

(01:02:30):
he's a researcher, works with Glenn Beck on his books.
He is Justin Haskins. Hello, Justin, how are you.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
I'm doing very well. How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
I am terrific. We have been talking all morning about
the polling that you did with Rasmussen, and let me
just start with this. What is the most disturbing result
in the poll to you? So?

Speaker 5 (01:02:57):
I think that did you get to the Elon Musk?

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
We sure did, Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
I would say that that one is probably the most
disturbing one. I mean, there are many to choose from,
but I would say that I would say that that
one's the most disturbing one. The idea that you would
have seven to ten Democrats say that they would if
if they could put Elon Musk in path the law
that would put Elon Musk in prison is I think

(01:03:27):
it's perfectly indictive of where the left is in this
country today and in this poll, which is really amazing
about this poll question was and not everybody caught onto it.
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Here we go again. We have we have had another
power surge and Justin is going to probably have to
call back, Justin, are you there.

Speaker 5 (01:03:52):
Law that would imprison Elon Musk for his role at DOGE?

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Justin? I've got to that we got to interrupt you.
We had a power outage. We are dealing with power
issues in the capital city, and so we lost about
all of what you just said. We just came back
on can you reset that for us?

Speaker 5 (01:04:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
He had I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Oh no, no, not a problem. What I was saying
was I think the most important thing in the findings
was that seven to ten Democrats say that Elon Musk
should go to jail, he should be imprisoned, and that
it should happen very specifically in the question, it says
this for his work at DOGE. That's the question, would

(01:04:37):
you support a law that would imprison Elon Musk for
his work at DOGE, not for some other thing. So
it's not like you could say, well, maybe they were
just imagining some other violation of the law that we've
never heard of, some conspiracy theory or something like that.
It can't be that we specifically said for his work
at DOGE. And so what this tells you is a

(01:04:58):
few different things. One and it tells you that putting
government spending is to borrow a phrase from the left,
an existential crisis for the last Clearly, very clearly that's
the case. Another thing that this very clearly shows us
is that the sort of authoritarianism that we saw with

(01:05:19):
Donald Trump and this sort of desire to throw Trump
in prison for years, the Russian collusion, conspiracy theories and
all of that stuff wasn't just limited to Trump. It's
not just limited to him anymore. It wasn't a one
off thing. Well, they bought it with Donald Trump, but
they probably wouldn't buy it with anybody else. It seems

(01:05:40):
like we're reaching a moment in American politics where anybody
who becomes prominent on the right, if they're deemed a
threat by the media, not because they did something illegal,
but just because they don't like the policy right, then
that justifies putting them in jail and passing a law

(01:06:03):
to put a single person in jail. It's just an
incredible thing to support just In and of his own size,
even if he was committing crimes. You should never support
a law that's designed to just put one person in jail.
I mean, this is just absolutely incredible. What's happening on
the left.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
More to talk about with Justin Haskins. Justin stand by
nine ten minutes now passed the hour, Get a quick
update of weather and traffic back in seventy seconds. Back

(01:06:45):
with Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute talking about polling
that we have discussed this morning. This was our big
stories in the press box. Justin these polls and the
results inside of them are remarkable on a lot of fronts.
There are a few areas that are a little more heartwarming.
We'll get to those, but they're not a lot of them.

(01:07:07):
Why do you think democrats are so disconnected from I
don't even know what word to use, but so focused
on vendettas and vengeance and in this case, just not
liking that this guy's uncovering waste in government.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Yeah. I think there's a lot of a lot of
reasons for it. I think the most sort of obvious
reason on the surface is that the media on the
left paints the right as you know, especially Nazis. I
mean they literally called the Elon Muska Nazi. They you know,

(01:07:45):
tried to put Donald Trump and jail numerous times. They
said that he was a dictator. They use terms that
if you believe them, if you take them literally, then
you know, why aren't you putting the Nazi in jail?
Why aren't you put the dictator in jail? Why is
the dictator able to escape all these you know, these convictions,

(01:08:07):
these forty plus convictions, felony counts and things like that
that Donald Trump had. I mean, I think that's I
think that's a big part of it. I think you
have the educational system, of course, is radicalized younger people
who are much more likely, by the way, to support
you know, all of these crazy policies in the polls.

(01:08:27):
And I just think that there's a radicalization there. But
I think fundamentally the biggest issue, if you're going to
get to the root cause of all of it, is
that I don't I think the left has just completely
adopted the ends justify the means, and I don't think
that they're guided by sort of these overarching principles of liberty.

(01:08:50):
Even for the other side, I think that their ideology
is now, we get to have liberty because we're good guys,
and everyone who disagrees with us, depending on how much
they disagree with us, they don't get to have liberty
because they're too dangerous to have it. And this is
the fundamental problem. See, I don't want to silence anybody

(01:09:13):
on the left, no matter how crazy they are. Right,
I actually love listening to the crazies on the left.
It's one of my favorite things to do. But they
want to silence the people on the right with whom
they don't agree, and not all of them, obviously, but
a huge chunk of them do.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Well, that's the irony of it all, Justin is the
party of inclusivity is in fact the most exclusive. The
party that is the big tent is actually the smallest tent.
You either agree or you're out. You know what. I'm
reminded of the fact, you know, Elon Musk was one
of their guys when he was just making electrical vehicles
and staying in his lane. I'm reminded that Donald Trump

(01:09:49):
was a Democrat. I'm reminded of a guy named Brandon
Stroco who founded the walk Away campaign. They were all
in the club until they weren't, and boy, when they
were put out of it, they were put out.

Speaker 5 (01:09:59):
Bit that's right, Well they're traders now, Preston, Then, yeah,
what do you do with traders? Do you lock them
up in jail? I think, I honestly think there's a degree.
You know, we saw that and we've seen this before
with Clarence Thomas and other people. Right, when you are
part of a group who's supposed to be holding specific

(01:10:20):
ideological views supporting certain candidates on the left, and you don't.
You are treated much more harshly than someone who just
was never in that group or isn't part of a
demographic that's supposed to be on the left. And I
think that this is because it's a huge threat to them.
I mean, it's a huge threat to see people like
Elon Musk move on from the left. They can't have

(01:10:42):
that across the board or else they're in huge.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Trouble joining us. Justin Haskins from the Heartlands Institute, tell me,
give me something in this poll that is not so horrible.

Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
Sure, okay, so did you get to the questions about socialism?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
We do? Yeah, that struck me as odd, though, given
that they that seventy percent don't think it's a good thing.
Or what's the number thirty two percent of hope China wins.
Seventy one percent think free markets better than socialism. But
yet there's this but that's in there.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
Yeah, yeah, seventy percent say they prefer a free market
system over socialism. I think only eighteen percent, eighteen percent
said they had a favorable view of communism. But then
when you get to questions about candidates. In twenty twenty
eight election, we asked very specifically, would you like to

(01:11:41):
see a Democratic Socialist candidate win the next presidential election?
Although only thirty one percent overall said yes, which is
a good thing, forty six percent said no, I don't
want that. Among younger people especially, the percentages were much
much higher. Fifty percent of eighteen to twenty nine year
old said they do want a Democratic Socialist candidate to

(01:12:02):
win the next election. Forty percent of those between thirty
to thirty nine. We're talking about gen Z and millennials
pretty much universally saying they have a really high favorability
of Democratic socialists. In fact, even the thirty to thirty
nine year olds, forty percent said yes, only thirty eight
percent said no, twenty two said not sure. So there

(01:12:23):
were support for both those groups very very high. So
in the next election, that's not necessarily a crisis for
the right, but it is a crisis for the right
if you're looking down the road, say ten ten years,
twenty years, something like that. Now, now that's the primary
voting demographic, those two groups together, and if you assume

(01:12:45):
that the next young generation also has a favorable view
of it. Now you just are completely screwed.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Hang on, Justin seventeen passed the hour. We're going to
pick up right there here on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Final segment here with Justin Haskins of the

(01:13:13):
Heartland Institute. A poll with Heartland and Rasmussen talking about
a couple of different things, well, actually a lot of things,
but really boiled down and distilled Democrats supporting the idea
of imprisoning Elon Musk solely because he's leading Doge. The
irony is just unbelievable on so many levels. There, and

(01:13:33):
then the idea here is that socialism continues to hold
a place in young people's ideals. And Justin, I was
asking you in the break, it seems that the last
elections showed young men swinging to the right really supporting
Donald Trump. Can you extrapolate or maybe theorized, does this

(01:13:55):
mean that the real issue here with the younger voters
is with primary early young women.

Speaker 5 (01:14:02):
Well, in our particular poll, we don't have enough data
to be able to pull a sample size large enough
to get an answer to that question. But I think overall,
I think there's there's been a lot of work done
on that that shows clearly that is the case. I mean,
I think that, and I don't think it's surprising. Right,
younger women are being told that they're the ones being oppressed,

(01:14:23):
They're the ones whose rights are being taken away. There's
all this structural bias against women, and young men are
being told, especially young white men, are being told that
they're the problem. There's toxic masculinity.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
Yeah, yeah, but transsexualism is taking all the women's spaces
and attacking women. That's the disconnect I don't get.

Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
Well, the left has always had a degree of schizophrenia
in it, and no one in the left seems to notice.
But it never made sense to have radical feminism. It
never made sense to have radical femism in the same
group with the Islamicists. Those two things don't belong together,
and yet they've they haven't had a problem with that

(01:15:08):
for for decades. This is a this is an ideology.
This tent is it's not even just a big tent.
It's it's it's it's a tent that makes no sense
at all when you have had it breaking down all yeah,
it just makes no sense. But ultimately, what they all
have in common is a perception that they are oppressed

(01:15:29):
by this sort of establishment or by some other group
of people, and that they're all banding together to stop
the oppressors. That's that's what they all have in common,
and I think with younger women, that's the narrative that
they've been told over and over and over again. We're
seeing the same trend play out, by the way, in
Europe when you look at European elections, there has been

(01:15:49):
a huge movement on the right amongst younger men, and
older people are actually becoming a little bit more likely
to vote for the establishment and over there for the
left then, and younger men tend to be more likely
to go towards the right. Young women still are supporting
the left, and I just think that it goes into

(01:16:12):
this oppressor sort of mentality. I don't think that women
universally have been convinced that they are oppressed, younger women
to the degree that they are right now. And it
all goes back to education, to the colleges, it all
goes back to the media and Hollywood and everyone giving
the same walking in lockstep with the same messaging. If

(01:16:33):
you do it over and over and over again, people
eventually believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Justin inside this same polling you talk about the tariff war.
Here in the polling and a plurality, it would appear
of Democrat voters, thirty two percent actually want China to win.
I take it this is largely more than likely to
simply spike Trump.

Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
I love this question because it makes absolutely no sense
for anyone to root for a foreign country to beat
their own country in anything. But that's exactly what's going
on with Democrats. What it shows very clearly is that
the left would rather see the Trump administration fail than
see America succeed. And it all goes back to the

(01:17:20):
same sort of hyperpartisanship that exists. I understand there's a
lot of partisanship on the right as well, sure, but
not to the degree that we see in this poll.
By the way, thirty eight percent of Democrats, so thirty
two percent said they want Trump to win. Thirty or sorry,
thirty two percent of Democrats said they wanted China to win,
thirty percent said Trump, thirty eight percent said not sure.

(01:17:43):
So that just goes to show you. I think there's
a lot of people who they know that they should
say Trump, but they're not going to say Trump. They
can't bring themselves to Saint China either, so they're just
going to say we're not sure. They just can't stomach
the thought of signing their name to the Trump administration,
even when they know that they should do it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Justin, you keep being you, brother, Thanks so very much
for all you're doing, and I appreciate your time as always.

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
Thank you, sir, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
Thank you. Justin Haskins with us this morning on the
Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
We suggest you use the restroom before you listen or
invested a thirty foot catheter. Yes, I use it all
the time. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
I just felt like letting that play. That's how you
kick off a set right there. That's the opening of
a concert. Thirty six minutes past the hour. Money talk
just a few minutes away. Tomorrow. Doctor Bob McClure from
the James Madison Institute JMI has done some polling that
we will talk about tomorrow that is very, very interesting

(01:19:14):
relating to the state of Florida. You know, Justin was
involved in writing the poll with Rasmusen that we've been
talking about all morning. Thirty two percent of Democrats hope
they that China beats the US and the TARF war.
Three out of every ten Democrats, nearly four out of

(01:19:36):
ten won't say one way or the other. Hard to say.
They could be of the mindset that, well, I actually
don't want Trump to win anything. So yeah, and they
just won't say it, or they want Trump to win,
but they won't say it because they won't get they'll
get kicked out of their friend groups. See that's the thing.

(01:19:59):
The left just send you packing. If you are not
lockstep with them, you are out sid the sloth and
ice age, You're out of the hide. It's craziness. And
then sixty eight percent of likely Democrat voters in favor

(01:20:24):
of the idea of putting Elon Musk in prison for
leading Doge. That just hurts the brain and it's a
dagger to the heart that we have people that think
that way in this country. Well but Preston, you know
you don't want everybody to think like you. Well, yeah,

(01:20:47):
I kind of do. Yes, things would be a lot better,
they just would not lockstep. Just you know, love America.
Appreciate the blessing of winning the lottery to be born

(01:21:07):
in this country. Yeah, yeah, I kind of do want
everyone to think like me in that regard. I want
everybody to think that we need to be strong as
a country and prosper to be a blessing to others,

(01:21:29):
not to hoard it to be a blessing to help.
But you see there's the difference, and let me crystallize it.
The left believes in bleeding us dry, take and redistribute.

(01:21:57):
Conservatism believes in making strong and blessing and taking blessing
and passing it out if you will. I've always believed
that God's in favor of addition and multiplication and Satan

(01:22:25):
is the source of division and subtraction. Think about it.
Forty minutes past the autum. Money Talk is next here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show

Bank USA. The opinions expressed are not those of NBC

(01:23:10):
and or legal advice. Howard, with all the talk of
tariffs and the stock market and paying attention to what's
going on in the financial our interest rates and so forth,
what's happening to the dollar, what's going on with the buck?

Speaker 9 (01:23:32):
Well, the US dollar, which of course strict trades globally
every day around the world, declined in value by about
three point two percent in March and fell another four
point six percent last month in April, taking it to
a two month decline, a seven point six percent. And
you know, a lot of folks say, well, compared to

(01:23:53):
the stock market, that ain't nothing, that's not all that
ball at. But it's actually preston the largestines since June
of two thousand and one, twenty four years ago. And
that decline was just the eighth two month decline of
seven and a half percent or more in the value

(01:24:14):
of our buck, our currency since nineteen seventy, over fifty
years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
What contributes to the drop.

Speaker 9 (01:24:21):
Of the dollar, Yeah, well, it means that someone was
doing some selling, because currencies trade against each other, not
in a separate vacuum. There was speculation that perhaps the
Japanese were unloading some dollars, and you know, countries do

(01:24:41):
it for different reasons. Maybe they need to bring that
money back home to shore up their own economy. But
there's a second point. There are those that believe that
there are some within the Trump administration and maybe they've
won the battle here. It would like to see the
value the dollar drop a little, because that would make

(01:25:03):
it more enticing for foreigners to come and visit and
buy stuff here in the US. When our dollar's lower,
they can buy more for less of whatever their currency is.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
What about oil, what's going on with oil?

Speaker 9 (01:25:20):
Well, we've got a similar theme here. The price of
oil has slipped. Of course, that's really good for consumers. Yeah,
costs less to fill up the tank. The crude oil
pressed and declined by about eighteen and a half percent
in April, which was its biggest monthly drop going all

(01:25:42):
the way back to when it fell about twenty one
percent back in November of twenty twenty one, when we
were still dealing with the issues, you know, surrounding COVID
and the shutdowns and so forth. So it was the
largest everage drop in the month of April, going all

(01:26:02):
the way back to nineteen eighty three, long time ago.
So energy prices I will say, though, since then, we're
now in May, we've seen a bump up and crude
oil's gone from about fifty nine to about sixty three
dollars a barrel this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
Well, you know, you make a great point. We're now
into a different month. The market's reacting to the news
as it relates to the terrace. But the month of
April showed us some pretty interesting numbers with the S
and P five hundred.

Speaker 9 (01:26:35):
Yeah, it was wild. I hope your listeners were strapped
in if.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
They were day traders were looking for stay away from
knives in sharp corners exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:26:46):
It was a true roller coaster ride. The S and
P five hundred was down almost four percent, seem me
fourteen percent at its intra day low of April eighth,
and I think we actually spoke that morning on April a.
But it been rallied fifteen percent in last month as

(01:27:08):
well and the rest of April, so closing the month
close to break even. And April was actually the closest
the S ANDP index has ever come to fullying, erasing
an intra month drop of ten percent more. And you
got to go all the way back to nineteen twenty

(01:27:29):
eight to see an occurrence like that. And of course
here we are in May, and you know, we've made
up almost all the losses for the year, so the
recovery is continuing, at least in terms of stock prices.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
Howard, always great information. I appreciate the time, my friend.
We'll talk again in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 9 (01:27:48):
I enjoy Preston. Have a great day, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Thank you, Sir, Howard Eisman with us this morning Little Money,
Talk Money on the morning show, sor with Pressed the

(01:28:19):
it was Monday. We've had two power outages that just
caused everything to go weird, but we powered right on
through thanks to the the abilities of our engineer to
make sure that we are just momentary delay. What really

(01:28:40):
impressed me is that I thought, with the power going
out for a few seconds, that the phone line would
be as dead as dead could be. And Justin's just
talking away. He never even knew. It's like I, I,

(01:29:02):
you know, I felt so bad interrupt him and say,
can you can you start that answer over? I'm gonna
have some clever editing to do here in the uh.

the region of the Big Band, or Walton Bay County,

if you buy them in the Anama City Bay, in
Bay County, Walton County, just go to Ace Hardware. Leave
them there. Boom, You're done. You're done. A little more
complicated here in Tallahassee, but thanks to Westminster Oaks and

(01:30:13):
our friends at PEPSI, we've made it as simple as
we can make it. So the admonition here is buy
box fans, lots of box fans. If everybody listening right
now bought one box fan, the drive would be done.
We need seven hundred between the two markets, three fifty
three fifty. That's our goal. Please please, please buy a

(01:30:40):
box fan. Please wonder if they could, could you even
hear that. Please buy a box fan. We'll talk more

Big stories in the press box first are thanks to
Justin Haskins, as always incredible. Howard Heisman, Jose strong strong
performance today. I was better than average. If I set

better than that. I was modestly entertaining. Brief moments of funny.
We're thrown in some great pulling from the Heartland Institute
in Rasmusen. We talked about it really is just gotta
