Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
If that don't get your fuck longst week. I've been
waiting to play that from when I screwed up last week. Anyway,
thank you friends for joining us. Good morning, Welcome Friday
in the Morning Show with Preston Scott and our verse

(00:22):
appropriately John One. In the beginning was the Word, and
the word was with God, and the word was God,
or shall I say in the beginning was the word,
and the word was with God, and the word was God.
He was in the beginning with God. All things were

(00:43):
made through him, and without him was not anything made.
That was made in him was life, and that life
was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it. Yeah, I've got

(01:10):
nothing else. Hope you enjoy your day. Levin passed the
hour back with the American Patriots Almanac and more next
because I ran a little long in the opening segment,

(01:30):
and do you blame me? That was from the Indiana
Bible College. They did an entire cantata of original music.
I think it's all original that they wrote, and it's
just incredible. I've checked out a lot of their tunes
from this performance and just clean staging and wow, it

(01:59):
just blesses me. We got young people cranking out, loving
on Jesus like that, singing his tunes. It just does.
It warms the heart, just does little recesses of the
heart in there, just to get the all warm fuzzy.
May sixteenth, eighteen thirty six. First steamboat on the Pacific coast,
the Beaver. Can't say I'd name it that tested at Vancouver, Washington.

(02:24):
I mean, think about it, really, the first steamboat you're
gonna call it that, It just it just seems weird
to me. You couldn't come up with something better than
the Beaver. Whatever. Eighteen forty two, One of the first
wagon trains sets out for the Northwest on the Oregon Trail.

(02:48):
Eighteen sixty eight, the Senate fails by one vote to
convict President Andrew Johnson in his impeachment trial. He's later
acquitted of all charges. Eighteen eighty eight. In German in Philadelphia,
German immigrant Emil Berliner demonstrates the first modern phonograph record,
Don't Get Me Started, nineteen twenty nine. Emmil Jennings Jennings Sorry,

(03:15):
Best Actor, Janet Ganer Best Actress. Among the winners of
the first Oscars ninety one Queen Elizabeth becomes the first
British monarch to address Congress. And who says, we can't
bury a grudge. Huh, that we can't just put it
to death. Okay nineteen ninety one. Okay, it's been enough time,

(03:42):
you can come talk. There is a bunch going on today.
I'm not even going to get through all of it.
National Classic Movie Day. Of course, the definition of a
classic movie is certainly in the eye of the beholder.

(04:02):
National Barbecue Day.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Barbecue.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Barbecue is one of my favorite things. National Do Something
Good for Your Neighbor Day, NASCAR Day, National Pizza Party Day,
National Bike to Work Day, National Defense Transportation Day, National

(04:34):
Endangered Species Day, National Biographer's Day, National SeaMonkey Day. Oh,
National Love a Tree Day. And I didn't get through
all of them. There's even more, but out of time.
On the way to work this morning, had to call

(04:56):
nine to one one. Normally I just go through the
just the dispatch, normal, not nine one one dispatch. I
had to call nine one one on my way to work.
Lady in the middle of the road, literally laying in
the middle of the road, sitting up, but in the
middle of the road. And I was just I was stunned.

(05:23):
I pulled into the median in the in the in
the third lane and just stopped and called car behind
me rolled down the window, and obviously I thought, there's
something wrong with this lady, as in, there's something wrong,
and clearly she was screaming something at the car behind me.

(05:45):
So I'm glad I didn't like, stop stop she you
just you can tell she wasn't injured. She was troubled,
if you know what I mean. So had I just said, hey,
you need to send somebody out to do a welfare check,
like right now. So yeah, that's how my morning started.

(06:07):
How about you seventeen past the hour, running late, that's okay,
I'm sharing, And that's okay because I'm sharing twenty two

(06:32):
past the hour fun day to day on the program.
We've got the big stories in the press box. Are Yeah,
got some sound for you to hear. We're gonna take
some calls next hour. We're gonna put you in another situation.
What would you do? This one is deals with ai

(06:59):
AI technology, So so just hang tight on that. We'll
tell you more about that in about a half hour,
and then of course in the third hours. What's the
beef we'll have the best and worst of the week.
Do not miss my best of the week, especially if
you live anywhere in this area of the Capital City
region and you know you go five hundred miles in

(07:21):
any one direction, you need to be listening. I'm telling
you my best of the week is is out there
with among the best of the best of the week.
But came across this story here you ever heard of
Oliver Widger. Oliver in the last couple of weeks has

(07:45):
gone viral. Twenty nine year old decided because he had
a condition called Klippefell syndrome where he had problems with
his spinal column the high portion of the above even

(08:05):
the thoracic spinal portion I guess don't in the neck area.
They had to fuse a bunch of his his vertebrae together,
and he decided. He was working for a tire company.
Quit his career eleven years with the tire company, so
he'd been there since he was eighteen, cashed out his
four oh one K, used every amount of credit he had,

(08:31):
bought a sailboat, fixed it up. Never been sailing a
day in his life, but decided he was just gonna
go for it. He said, I could be paralyzed at
any moment, so I just decided I'm going to do
this now while I can. So he's sailing from Oregon

(08:51):
to Hawaii with his cat, his boat, and himself, and
he's documenting the journey on social media. His handle on
social media is at sailing Underscore with Underscore Phoenix on
and and that's that's your that's if you look up

(09:13):
Oliver Widger, you'll you'll find him. And so that's what
he's done. Now, what's interesting about the story is not
just his decision to do this, which you know, I've
seen his sailboat. And while it's it's okay, man, I
don't know if i'd be sailing across the Pacific Ocean

(09:36):
at this time of year, because we're now getting into
that time when you're getting really close to hurricane season,
and he could face he's already faced some pretty significant
stuff that broke his rudder. Now he was able to
fix it, but I mean, you lose your rudder and
can't steer into waves and so forth, and then you're

(10:00):
now now you're gonna be tossed, You're done, You're gonna
be You're gonna be turned upside down. So he started
to go fund me to pay off his credit card debt,
which was about ten grand. He's collected more than thirty grand.
Now apparently he's got a brother who's a movie maker,
and they're gonna turn this into kind of a YouTube

(10:20):
documentary and all that. But the reaction on his go
fund me thing, I've written. I've got some of the
reactions here. You made the choice, a brave one, albeit risky.
But why help ask for help paying off your credit
card debt? You can work once you get to Hawaii.
I don't get help keeping my credit card balance at zero.

(10:44):
Another one an electronic panhandler. Another one. You're exactly right,
he's asking people to pay off his debts to fund
his dream. Bleep, what about my dream? Maybe I should
open a GoFundMe to sit around and watch sports and fart.
I could even show it on YouTube. Another one. So

(11:06):
he started a discount tire at eighteen. Now he's unemployed,
with no medical insurance and a diagnosed medical issue. His
retirement funds are gone. He's twenty nine. He hadn't been
working long enough to be burned out. Just another casualty
of poor life decisions. So that's another way to look

(11:26):
at it. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Oh you
gotta love it.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Welcome to Mad Radio Network, Make a Difference Radio Network,
and this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, if you've never spend any time with me in
the mornings, just give it. Give it a few days,
all right, Just just give it some time. You know,
maybe at some point in your life you've taken a
bite of something you've gone, oh, I don't know about that,
and then you're like, okay, wait a minute. Now, Hey,

(12:23):
there's a lot of complicated taste here. It's a lot
going on in that bite of food. Just kind of
overwhelmed me for a moment, and then you just kind
of settled in. You're like, okay, this is tasty, and
you became it was like, okay, I'm having this like
once a week only with the program, it'll be daily.

(12:44):
If you just give it a little bit of time.
If we're talking about something and you're like, yawn, give
it five minutes, we're gonna be talking about something else.
Because that's how we work audio magazine. Think of it. Turn,
lick your thumb, turn the page. That's what we're doing,
all right, Big stories in the press box. So a

(13:06):
former National guardsman decides he wants to work with ISIS
and try to take out or or commit a mass
shooting on a US military base, in this case, the
US military base in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of ISIS. Now,

(13:31):
I don't know how in the world a guy with
a name like this would ever find himself working with ISIS.
I mean, this is troubling, right, Mr abdu Majid Mohammad said,
what come on? No way, no, no way. He want

(14:00):
wanted to carry the carry out the attack at the
US Army's Tank Automotive Armament's command facility in Detroit. He's
from the community of Melvindale near Dearborn, Michigan. Yeah, he
was talking undercover officers the whole time. He was flying
drones over the base doing reconnaissance. He was teaching them

(14:23):
how to do certain things. Now here's what's important. Okay,
A we caught him. Good, awesome b as we've talked
about for Okay, I've been doing this show now for
twenty three plus years. There are sleeper cells and there
are sleeper agents in this country. This guy may have

(14:46):
been born and raised here. He's just a kid. He's
a nineteen year old former National Guards at former What
did he last a week? Anyway, it doesn't really matter.
Others are learning. See, this is the thing. There are

(15:06):
some wonderful, peace loving get along you know, with everybody.
Islamis out there, and there are crazies. And the thing
about it is the crazies believe that the get along
kind are guilty of backsliding. They're not. Really islamis true.

(15:29):
Islamis believe in committing these types of crimes because they
think there's a bunch of virgins hanging out waiting for him.
They also believe in lying because it's what's taught to them.
It's what Muhammad wrote that if you have to lie
to accomplish a greater purpose for Allah, you do so.

(15:51):
And that's what makes this so problematic. Speaking of crazies,
James Comy x FBI chief posts this little photo with
seashells on the beach eighty six forty seven meaning get

(16:12):
rid of forty seven meaning get rid of Trump? Is
he calling for another assassination? Is this code for something?
James Comy is crazy to the core. He needs to
be prosecuted for his role in the attacks on Trump.
In his first term of office. And I'm talking about
Russia collusion, all of that nonsense. This was all orchestrated

(16:36):
by Comy and James Brennan and William Clapper and all
of those guys that sign their name on that. You know,
this is Russian disinformation. The Hunter Biden laptop is not
that kind of thing. This is those All of those
people should be investigated, every single one of them. Comy's

(16:56):
just a loser. He can't. He's that guy that just
does something to get the attention of the girls in
the classroom because he has zero social skills to get
the attention of girls, so he does something really stupid
to be bizarre. This is James Comy as a grown up.
And I don't know if you saw what the judge

(17:19):
who has been indicted, the Wisconsin judge for helping an
illegal get away from ice her defense. I'll tell you
about it next forty one minutes after the hour, boy,
I got a lot of get a lot to get
through hanging there with me. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA

(17:59):
district attorney trying to excuse a plea deal with an
illegal driving a car at twice the legal speed. They've
killed a young girl. Guy's not going to jail, no
time in prison, nothing, plea deal. Unbelievable. Hannah Dugan is

(18:23):
a judge of Milwaukee who is arrested after she hid
an illegal immigrant in her courthouse. She was indicted by
grand jury. We talked through that, and what her lawyers
are arguing is incredible. They're arguing that the charges are unconstitutional,
citing her judicial immunity in the Tenth Amendment. She's entitled

(18:52):
to judicial immunity, they claim for her official acts. Here's
the thing, she was not acting in an official capacity.
She was aiding and a betting in a crime. And
I'm not alone in this, Professor Jonathan Turley, who's a
constitutional law expert, I can't see any basis to do that.

(19:14):
Referring to the grounds to dismiss, which means her motion
to dismiss will be denied. It's so interesting the people
clamoring for her to be dismissed because she's immune, of
the same people saying about Trump. No one's above the

(19:36):
law now, speaking of judges and so forth. Supreme Court
heard arguments yesterday Trump versus CASA. That's the case on
birthright citizenship. Trump issued an executive order and since then

(19:56):
district courts have issued forty U universal injunctions against the
federal government, thirty five from the same judicial districts. I
just want you to listen to Clarence Thomas with the
Solicitor General John Sower, the remedy.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
To the plaintifs of appearing in court.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
And complaining of that role. Hold on, hold on, here we.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Go, General, when were the first universal injunctions used?

Speaker 6 (20:26):
We believe that the best reading of that is what
you said in Trump against Hawaii, which is that Wartz
in nineteen sixty three was really the first universal injunction.
There's a dispute about Perkins against Lukens Oil going back
to nineteen forty, and of course we point to the
court's opinion that reversed that universal injunction issued by.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
The d C.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Circuit and said it's profoundly wrong.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
Now, if you look at the cases at the either
party site, you see a common theme the cases that
we cite, like National treas Treasury's Employment Union, Perkins against
Lukens Oil, Frothingham and Massachusetts against Melon, and going back
to Scott against Donald, and all of those those are
cases where the Court considered and addressed the sort of

(21:06):
universal in that case, statewide issue of provision of injunctive relief.
When the Court is considered it addressed, this is consistently said,
you have to limit the remedy to the plaint us
of a period in court and complaining of that remedy.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
So we survived until the nineteen sixties without universal injunction.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
That's exactly correct, and in fact those are very limited,
very rare, even in the nineteen sixties. It really exploded
in two thousand and seven in our curve petition in
Summers against Earth Island Institute, we pointed out that the
Ninth Circuit had started doing this in a whole bunch
of cases involving environmental claims.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
All right, So Thomas basically eviscerates it, saying, so we've
survived all these years without this nonsense. Solicard General said yes.
Now here's what's interesting. The judge that just slammed him
the most, the Solicitor General on these arguments was Elena Kagan.
And the issue here is district judges ruling nationally. Listen

(22:02):
to what Elena Kagan said in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 8 (22:05):
Just can't be right that one district judge can stop
the nationwide policy in its tracks and leave and stop
for the years that it takes to go through normal process.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Isn't that interesting that that was less than three years
ago Elena Kagan arguing exactly what's being argued right now,
only she's attacking it now. It's an interesting place to
be as a Supreme Court justice. Forty seven minutes after

(22:41):
the hour. Sorry, I'm late, forty eight minutes. It's okay,
I'm catching up. Besides, it's my show. It's The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Yeah. Us, I'll tell you why

(23:01):
we're going to take calls here in just a couple
of minutes. But first I just want to I want
to step back for a second and offer some perspective
that's very much outside the norm. On this trip that
Trump's making to the Middle East. The President is on
a roll through all the Middle East nations. He's striking
a deal lifting sanctions on Syria. By the way, that's

(23:27):
a little risky, but here's my here's what I think
he's doing. I think he's trying to put putin in
a corner right now, if I don't know who's advising
him on the strategy that he's embarking on here, but
if you look at it, and we're going to talk

(23:48):
more about this on Monday, he is he's putting China
on an islands. He's trying to strike deals with everybody
around China and isolate China to where China has to
come to the table and convincing nations. You don't have

(24:10):
to fear them. They can't buy your stuff like we can.
They are not a consumer nation, they are a producing nation.
And that's but if you just stay the course, be
all right, I think, because if you look at Sirius,
Siria is tied at the hip with Russia. Well, all

(24:30):
of a sudden, now Siria is not so interested in
just Russia, and Syria becomes a very useful ally if
and I know it's a risky thing because the guy
who's taken over Syria that overthrew us, now Asad was
like evil. He was straight from the pit of hell.

(24:50):
And I'm not sure if this guy's just not gonna
be as bad. I don't know that, but it might
be worth the risk if you can, if you can
create a coalition around Israel that is a little more friendly.
You know, you look at the United Arab Emirates and

(25:12):
they're a big time US ally. The Saudis, Okay, we've
struck a deal with them. They're gonna they're gonna invest
what one hundred and forty two Wait what was it here?
They're investing six hundred billion into the US. We're selling
them another one hundred and forty two billion of arms.

(25:39):
I get it. But the Saudis hate the Iranians. See
this is so, this is It's just it's interesting to
see what's going on. I'm not sold one hundred percent
on all this. I'm just open to someone being bold.
Guy with with the Biden administration said Gosh, I wish

(25:59):
I could work for an administration that moved that quickly.
It's hard not to be simultaneously terrified at the thought
of the damage he can cause with such power, but
awed by his willingness to shatter so many harmful taboos. Okay,
let's see, all right, we come back. Would you send

(26:21):
your child to a school where they're being taught completely
by artificial intelligence? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA
eight five zero two zero five WFLA I got too

(26:46):
chatty in the previous segment about Trump over in the
Middle East, so I didn't do a very good job
setting up this segment. Morning Friends, second hour of the
Morning Show, another edition of What would you Do? Now,
I'm not forcing this on Fridays. I have a topic
worth discussing, and I will simply tell you that I
had another topic, but the lead research assistant of the

(27:10):
program strongly advised against using that topic, so I deferred
to the wisdom and I had this story saved for
a what would you do? Segment? And so usually the
way this works is somebody breaks the ice, and then
everybody starts calling in and we can't fit everybody in,

(27:33):
so who wants to break the ice? Here's what's fueling
this story, not funding it, fueling it. Although if Alpha
Schools wanted to call the program and sponsor a segment,
I'm just saying Alpha Schools in Texas, I'm guessing is
it's a private school and students spend two hours a

(27:56):
day in class guided by an artificial intelligence tutor. Quoting
the co founder of the school, Mackenzie Price. We use
an AI tutor and adaptive apps to provide a completely
personalized learning experience. Here are the results. Students are testing

(28:18):
in the top one to two percent nationally. So here's
my question, because I think you're going to be faced
with this at some point in the next decade, and
maybe not all of you, but you get my point.

(28:41):
Would you send your child to a school where the
learning was strictly handled by artificial intelligence? Yes? Or no?
Why or why not? I want to know if you
would trust the technolo. As I pointed out to Ose,

(29:02):
it occurs to me that you know, AI obviously has
some incredible benefits, right, However, isn't it isn't it determined
by who's programming it? In others? Where will artificial intelligence
gain its information to then dispense? Right now, Google is

(29:25):
employing it with every search you do, and so I'm curious,
what would you do? Would you send your child to
a school where the learning is handled by artificial intelligence? Period?
And stop? Oh, maybe somebody's there to administer a test.
Maybe it's not even needed for that. But yeah, there's
a human being around, but the human being does no instruction.

(29:46):
It's all done by AI technology. Eight five zero two
zero five WFLA is the phone number eight five zero
two zero five ninety three fifty two lines are ringing,
and I know that it takes a moment to get
everybody kind of in the you. So I just want
to know yes or no, would you or would you not?
And if so, why and if not why not? I

(30:09):
just think this is a fascinating question on what's coming
in our future. There's no doubt in my mind it's
coming none whatsoever. Ellen, Thanks for calling in and being first.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
All right, good morning.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
What do you think?

Speaker 10 (30:26):
So yes?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I mean, if it's strictly AI, the answer would be no.
And so the reason would be because so I teach
non non core classes, okay, and AI is just it's
not capable.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
It's enough.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
They're not up to speed with what needs to happen
for non academic work that's still very vital to the
students learning, but AI can't cover it. If they're just
they're just not there because they're really concerned about reading
and math and these things. But there are other aspects

(31:05):
that our children need that are not touched by those
standard academic classes.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
That's my answer.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
What do you make of this particular private school that
was launched by a Stanford educated psychologist. She launched it
because your daughters came home from school bored and unchallenged.
So she started this school and she's implemented AI tutoring exclusively,
and you're seeing those results. What do you think of
the results they're getting in this one instance, Well, I'd love.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
To meet the children and see what they're actually like,
because there are a lot of There are students that
are amazing they can do. They can produce test scores
that are through the roof, but they're inadequate in some
other facets in their abilities. So I would want to
look at the whole child and not just look at
test scores because test coorts are just one part and

(32:02):
I don't think that they necessarily.

Speaker 7 (32:05):
Tell the whole truth.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Fair enough, Ellen, thanks for calling in. I appreciate you
starting us off here. We've got Lee standing by. We've
got two lines open eight five zero two zero five
WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three point
fifty two more AI. Would you send your kid to
a classroom where it's exclusively a school where they're completely

(32:27):
taught by artificial intelligence? It's another addition of what would
you do? And we're asking would you send your child
to a school where the teaching is done by artificial
intelligence exclusively, Lee, what about you.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
Well, Preston, there's some things that you may or may
not be aware of. Our teenagers, our children already have
access on their smartphones to AI related apps like chat GPT,
and my grandson who's in high school, has actually told

(33:11):
me he's used that app to get good grades writing reports.
So it's been happening for a while now. I'm not
a big fan of the show South Park because they
constantly knocked the religion I believe in. But I was
at a relative house about an about three weeks ago

(33:35):
and saw it was not aware of chat, GPT, GPT,
and Saul, they had an episode of South Park on.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
The TV.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
Just some of the teenagers were watching it, and I said, oh,
that's that's kind of funny that they're using artificial intelligence
to write their girlfriend a love letter. And he goes, no,
this stuffs for real. I've used it to write a
book report. Well, I can tell you, Unfortunately, it is

(34:07):
our future. I'm not sure how much control we.

Speaker 12 (34:11):
Should have on it.

Speaker 11 (34:12):
On the I could tell you that I've already used
the app to write three chapters of a book, and
I honestly believe that it's gonna be in the schools,
but we're going to need a lot of adult supervision
to control what it's telling our children.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Lee, I gotta go, buddy. I appreciate the input, but yeah,
I'm just asking a straightforward question. Would you have your
ch and it's I know, chat, GPT's out there and
all these other things. I know that I'm well aware
of that this is about the instruction being carried out
exclusively by artificial intelligence, Lance, what do you think?

Speaker 13 (34:53):
Yes, I would be open to send my kids in
that type of learning environment moving forward for this reason.
I think it allows us to focus on teaching our
kids how to ask really good questions. And then from
a parent perspective, you can't put controls in place to
validate the learning objectives and the content that's that's driving
the AI AI. One of the things I would want
people to know and then I'll be done, is that

(35:14):
you can you can't control. You're right, who's putting the
information in there? And aren't we really having that discussion
right now with humans? So I think it's a good thing.
I think we shall embrace it.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Thanks very much. I appreciate it. Lance. One of the
things that is at the core of what they're doing
at this school. The Alpha school is the core. Academics
are handled in two hours each day, which frees up
the rest of the day for the students to experience
and grow in other ways. So the academics is in

(35:44):
two hours. Because of AI, they're able to condense it. Sarah,
final caller in this segment, what do you think?

Speaker 10 (35:53):
I think it good to a certain point.

Speaker 14 (35:56):
I think it will teach the kids. But the only
downside is there's a lot of kids that are disruptive
and can't pay attention. Well, I think they're gonna have
to somebody to stand behind them or take them.

Speaker 10 (36:12):
Out of the room while they're trying to learn. I
just right now, this time and day, I see there's
way too many teachers that I call adult children in
the way they act and the way they dress and
the way they talk.

Speaker 14 (36:31):
You know, I'm a little bit older, and I'm just
appalled at what some of these teachers say and do.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
You know, but I think it.

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Would be great because for the ones that really want
to learn.

Speaker 10 (36:45):
You know, let them let them learn and then let
them go do their their pe or their special area
need to do and make the day short.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Thank you, Sarah, appreciate the phone call. Some grobo cop
like teacher in the back. You will learn or you
will leave here. Let me help you out of your
chair through the drop down ceiling taking calls. Would you

(37:22):
let your child go to a school environment where the
instruction is strictly artificial intelligence? Yes? Or no? Why or
why not? We'll take some more calls if you want
to call in and join me. We've got another segment
to go eight five zero two zero five w f
l A what would you do? Scratching and popping and

(38:01):
talking this morning show with Preston's Guy, Good morning. We've
got We've got time to fit a couple more callers.
We've got George standing by here. What we're talking about
and what I proposed in our what would you do?
Segment because I've i come across these stories and I
think to myself, Okay, what would people do when confronted

(38:25):
with this situation? And so this is your chance to
tell me. The situation is there's a private school in
Texas that uses AI tutoring. My question is it's coming.
I am honestly, I'm surprised at the number of people
that are very comfortable, if not encouraging, of this not

(38:48):
and I'm not saying surprised in a bad way. I'm
just because I don't really I'm not sure what I
think about it, yet I can see some tremendous opportunities. Honestly,
I'm concerned that people writing books using AI. I'll be
honest with you. I don't really want to read a
book written by AI. I want to read your book.

(39:10):
I want to read your thoughts. I don't want to
read the thoughts of constructed by some artificial intelligence. Have
someone proof read it if you're worried about the grammar.
But I want to know what you think about the
idea of exclusively turning learning over to the instruction is
handled by artificial intelligence. George, thanks for calling.

Speaker 15 (39:34):
Good morning, Preston. I think that look at the results
that we have now, look at how the America's education
system has failed the students and how they lack in
every category. So where, I mean, what have you got
to lose? It stills as long as you put the

(39:54):
right stuff in. But I'm enamored by it for two reasons. One,
it'll take away the wokeness and the grooming of any
teachers with their personal woke liberal garbage. It'll remove that automatically.
It will be a filter to get.

Speaker 16 (40:13):
Rid of that.

Speaker 15 (40:14):
We won't have that to worry about anymore. And the
other thing is is hopefully on down the line. It
would remove the Teachers Union nationally and get rid of
the I think the lady's name is Randy Fine or
Randy Winegarden. Why don't know, Winegardner. It'll get rid of
trash like that, and it'll get rid of the Teachers' Union.

(40:38):
There's nothing more than a pass through to the Democrat
Party for campaign contributions. Just those two aspects along make
me want to want to lean that way, Preston.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
So you would embrace the idea of let's test this
in a maybe a magnet school in the public school
system where you've got teachers available, but maybe it's like you.
Did you ever attend a school where they had quad learning,
where they had four classes in one area and a
teacher that worked among all of them. No, sir, okay,

(41:13):
I did, And I can see where you'd have an instructor,
but AI was handling all of the instruction to the
individual pods, if you will, the the the quads of
the students, but you had someone there just in case
to offer some clarification or whatever the case might be,
or discipline as needed.

Speaker 15 (41:33):
That or and you know, for a number of things.
But it would take away just the trash we're saying
in fil trade, we're seen not saying that's infiltraded. The
schools and originates and January little John's a perfect example.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, what she's had to endure in her family. George,
thanks very much. I appreciate it. Interesting thoughts shared by
one and all. If you want to learn more about it.
It's called Alpha School and it's based in Texas. Interesting,
very interesting. Twenty seven minutes past the hour. But people

(42:14):
don't rely on AI to do all your work. You've
got to stretch your own brain. That's what concerns me
is where this is allowing AI to do our work
for us. I agree with a lot of the points
George was making. He and I think a lot alike.
I'm guessing, but I just I'm worried of our reliance

(42:38):
on it. Like how many phone numbers do you have memorized?

Speaker 17 (42:42):
Now?

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Right, we're turning our brains into Marshland. Twenty seven minutes
after the hour, give it like a fine wine.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Ah, excuse me, man, please have some more water the Pellegrino. Yes, sparkling,
this breathe very nice. Good morning and welcome to the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Okay, yeah, we've got some sound for you to hear
in a couple of minutes. Here. Your call's next hour
for what's the beef? So get your thoughts in order
on whatever you want to complain about. It's fair game.
Then we'll share the best and worst of the week,
good news stories, some headlines from the Bee, even throw

(44:00):
in a dad joke just because we care. Big stories
in the press box. What's up with James Comy Secret
Service is now investigating after he posted an Instagram photo
of seashells arranged to show the numbers eighty six forty

(44:21):
seven now eighty six has been around for years as
an expression to mean get rid of. There are a
lot of urban legend kind of stories about its origination,
some thinking it goes back to a specific location in

(44:41):
the Prohibition era where people would go out a back
door to eighty sixth Street to get out of a
an illegal saloon or speak easy. Others think the term
originated in the eighties having to do with something else.

(45:01):
I can assure you it was around when I was
a kid, and I was born in nineteen sixty. But
it doesn't really matter. This is almost as if James
Comy is suggesting another assassination attempt on the president. This
isn't just anybody, This isn't this isn't just you know,

(45:26):
some students angry over student loans. This is the former
head of the FBI. There's something seriously wrong with him.
And I was watching the reaction to this. He said.

(45:50):
I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw
today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a
political message. First, I don't believe that for a second.
I believe he positioned those seashells. I didn't realize some
folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me,

(46:11):
but I opposed violence of any kind, so I took
the post down. Whatever you say, Pal, just know this.
This is the same guy that was behind the orchestrated
effort to try and get Trump thrown out of office,
and who in fact made his first four year term

(46:32):
a living hell. And I would put him in the
same category as John Brennan and William Clapper. They're professional liars.
Former National guardsmen arrested in a foiled ISIS linked attack

(46:55):
to a Michigan base. I joked last out, all right,
I mean, color me shocked that amar Abdul Majid Mohammed
Sa'id would ever be associated with a plan of ISIS
to kill some people in American military. And I know

(47:16):
that that to some of you, that's that's just brutally unfair.
It's just not fair. It's not fair to paint somebody
who's of a religious faith with such a broad brush. Okay,
but see when the when when the guys that are

(47:37):
out there claiming to be sent from God to do stupid, irrational,
violent things, we we we immediately, we meaning rational minded Christians,
we say no, that person is not part of us.

(47:57):
The Atlanta bomber is one of those who claimed moral
religious reasons for his crimes. There is no justification for
the murders. There's no justification for this. I'm sorry. Before
you're critical of me, I want you to spend eight
year studying world religions and Islam among them, and spend

(48:18):
a little time reading the Qur'an and the Hadith, and
then you come talk to me. Until then, I really
don't want to hear from you because you don't know enough. No,
you just don't. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm
just saying before you're critical, understand the faith that is

(48:39):
fueling this. Okay, understand that in the Islamic world, people
that don't agree with this mindset of terrorist actions against infidels,
they're not considered Islamis in keeping with the faith. Their
enemies too. A peace loving Islamist is an enemy of
a true ISLAMI that's what they'll tell you. Just is

(49:04):
And if you're an Islamist, then you're a peace loving Islamist.
I'm just telling you you will be right behind the
rest of us. When these terrorists decide to target people.
You will be considered an apostate. And the fact that
I know that and maybe you don't just illustrates my point.

(49:27):
Learn the faith before you criticize. Forty two minutes past
the out got to hear what's coming next? You just
you have to. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 17 (49:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
One of the things, it's so funny what the mainstream
media largely is focused on. They have selective interests and amnesia.
And as an example, we're now into this Jake Tapper
trying to tell you that he's leading the charge on
the cover up of Joe Biden's mental decline, and it's hogwash.

(50:15):
He led it, He led the cover up. He was
among the many with a platform to expose. And so
it shouldn't come as a surprise to me that CNN's
jumping in behind Tapper and now starting to grill. Check
out Wolf Blitzer with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Speaker 17 (50:34):
From the book.

Speaker 18 (50:35):
President Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser
that the movie star was actually hosting for him. Why
should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many in
your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's condition
hidden from the public.

Speaker 19 (50:53):
I can't tell you what happened between George Clooney and
President Biden that wasn't at that event. What I can
say is that we're not looking back. We're going to
continue to look forward because at this moment, we've got
real problems that need to be addressed on behalf of
the American people, including the Republican effort to snatch away
healthcare snatch away full assistance and hurt veterans.

Speaker 18 (51:15):
Do you interacted with President Biden during those days.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Because notice Wolf isn't letting it go.

Speaker 18 (51:21):
The final days he was president of the United States,
did you see did you since there was a major deterioration.

Speaker 19 (51:29):
Well, in the conversations that I was able to have
on behalf of the House Democratic Caucus in those final days,
we simply expressed our perspective as to what would be
best for the party at that.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Given moment in time.

Speaker 19 (51:42):
President Biden subsequently made the decision that he was going
to pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris. Of course,
that was the decision that we supported strongly.

Speaker 20 (51:52):
Well, just very quickly, I want to ask you, Congressman Jeffries.
You know you say we're not looking back from looking forward,
but what happened in the past has to do with
what's going to happen in the future and whether voters
can trust Democrats. As you look back, you were in
a leadership position when President Biden decided to run again.
Should you have done more at that point to intervene?

Speaker 19 (52:14):
It's a great question in terms of whether voters can
trust Democrats or not every single high profile special election
that has taken place since President Trump was inaugurate.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
He's not answering the election victory.

Speaker 19 (52:25):
In Iowa, and January, a special election victory in New York,
and February a special election in Victory.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
All of these are in Democrat districts. But you'll notice
he's not answering the question. There's one other thing I
want you to remember, the phrase, we're not looking back,
we're looking forward. Just remember that. Okay, forty six minutes
after the hour, more to come in the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. All Right, you remember what we were

(53:03):
listening to. We were listening to a discussion on covering
up Joe Biden's mental decline. We still don't. There's so
many things we don't know. We don't know anything about
the first attempted assassination of Trump. We don't know about
those bank accounts. We don't know anything about the guy

(53:24):
little Cretan. We know nothing about whether Biden knew one
bit about what he was signing into law. Did he
sign it. We're back on CNN this time they're talking

(53:45):
to Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 21 (53:47):
It was later reported that you and other Democratic leaders
were talking before the debate about having a plan you
and Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama. I understand you
later denied that that ever happened, but I am curious.
I'm interested to know whether the man that you saw
sitting there on that couch on that day you were

(54:08):
in there, you saw him up close and personal, did
you really not have any idea that he was not
fit to serve a second term?

Speaker 13 (54:16):
Casey, we're looking forward.

Speaker 19 (54:18):
We have the largest medicaid caught in front of us.

Speaker 11 (54:20):
We have the cole federal.

Speaker 21 (54:22):
Governments because you lost a presidential election, and is that
not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again.

Speaker 13 (54:28):
We're looking forward.

Speaker 22 (54:31):
That's it.

Speaker 13 (54:32):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Remember when I said, how came Jeffrey's line we're looking forward?
This is rehearsed. This is part of their playbook most
of the time. When the Democrats release a statement, then
the mainstream media starts pushing the same statement. The CNN's

(54:59):
breaking off because they're trying to cover for Jake Tapper.
They were all complicit in all of this. This is
just a game. But listen to where this goes. When
she continues her discussion with her panel.

Speaker 21 (55:15):
All right, Senator Chuck Schumer, I know you gotta go.
I appreciate your time today, see you soon, I hope,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Pick care all right, and our.

Speaker 21 (55:22):
Panel joins us now. CNN political commentator Joan Goldberg.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
She's rolling her eyes, Chuck.

Speaker 21 (55:27):
Todd, Democratic strategist Paul Lagalla, Republican polster Christen Soltis Anderson
both Stan, and political commentators Chuck Todd.

Speaker 17 (55:33):
Go.

Speaker 23 (55:34):
He is among the people that are responsible for this,
the leaders of the Democratic Party, the staff of the
White House. And I have to say, I find everybody
now talking to these authors, get out of here, go home.
You're part of the problem. Now, you tell us so,
I just and I find you know the reason why
the Democratic Party has less credibility today. Here's an unpopular

(55:57):
president and the Democratic Party has a worse rating than
the Republican Party with this catastrophic governance that we've seen
over the last blah blah, And yet why is the
Democratic Party in worse shape because of this distrust? Because
of this frankly, what the public feels as if the
party leadership let them down and let them let this happen.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
And here's what they're all ignoring the media. Let this happen, CNN,
the Chuck Todds of this world, Let this happen. Everybody
outside of Peter Doocey at Fox News is that his
name is that the reporter's name, Yes, Steve is dad.

(56:44):
Everybody outside of Peter was covering, and of the White
House press pool, he was the one saying, is he okay?
Because he's struggling. He's having to be led all over
the place. He's won under and off of stages in
the wrong direction. He's having to be grabbed by heads

(57:05):
of state of other nations when he's overseas because he
has no idea where he's at. This is hilarity unfolding,
and I'm grateful that I can just keep rolling sound
and pointing it out to you Again. CNN is rolling

(57:26):
the Dems under the bus because they're protecting one of
their own and they're not taking responsibility for their role.
Fifty six minutes past the hour, it's what's the b Friday?
What do you want to get off your chest? Huh
huh eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Whatever you
want to complain about, it's fair game. Just don't make

(57:47):
it personal. Don't use profanity. What's the bee Friday's next
eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The lines are open,

(58:08):
two lines are taken. Two lines are open. Just like
Rush Limbaugh, we got four lines. You might think Rush
had like eight lines or six. Then four keeps things busy.
We've got room for you. Eight five zero two zero five.

(58:29):
Well we did have room for you. Now the lines
are taken. See just like that, It's what's the Beef
Friday for May sixteenth, here on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. If you are new to the radio program,
and I suspect there's a few new guys, at least
six of them listening to the show, What's the Beef
is where you call in and get off your chest.

(58:50):
What has been driving you nuts all week long. It's
a form of audio therapy. We think it contributes to
a kinder, gentler version of you, which means wherever you
go things will be better. We're contributing to a better
society by letting you just vent a little bit. Now,
we have two simple prohibitions. Number one, no profanity. You

(59:15):
can do it. You can do it without cussing. Number two,
don't make it personal. If you had a bad experience
at a business, tell us all about it. Just leave
the name of the business out of it. If anyone's
going to insult a business, leave it up to me.
I am a professional. And with that we go to
the phone lines. Pedro has been very patient this morning.

(59:36):
Good morning, sir, thank you for calling in. What's the beef?

Speaker 7 (59:40):
Good morning, Preston today, I'm calling for a beef, not
an observation last week. Come on, all right, No, so
my beef is with a deep state. You know who
that is, the one and only they're President James Comy. Man,
this this guy. You thought he was going to be irrelevant,
you know, and and here he comes, you know, threat

(01:00:02):
making threats. The left left is not going to stop.
That's what I'm afraid of. But they won't stop even
after Trump is gone as the president. They'll continue to
try to, i meansassinate this guy. It's amazing the level
of threats and and how violent these people are. It's

(01:00:23):
a shame. You know, they're they're not Americans to me.
You know, they're the enemy. I'm sorry to say that,
but they're they're nothing. They're they're just you can't make
them understand and that's how they they that's their only solution,
you know, it's violence.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
That's my big thank you, Pedro. Appreciate that. Yeah, when
you when you resort to personal attacks and then violence,
it escalates to violence, or you just go to straight
to violence because you disagree with somebody, that's that's horrifying.
But anyway, thank you very much for the phone call
that opens up a line eight five zero two zero
five to be a f l A. Joel, you're upe.

(01:01:00):
What's the beef?

Speaker 17 (01:01:01):
Good morning, Presston. My beef is similar to Pedro's. Uh
My beef is with the Democrat Party, the leadership. I
want to underscore the leadership. Part of the reason why
we have such violence coming from the left is because
the leadership encourages it. Uh by I mean by out
and out encourage it and like foamy deal or they

(01:01:23):
just don't say they just don't criticize them. You know,
if things happen that are violent and you just say nothing,
then you are in fact encouraging it. Things like Antifa
and BLM and the Tesla burnings, and even the right
rank and file people still like to call us racists
and and and and uh Nazis and stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:01:44):
Like that.

Speaker 17 (01:01:45):
All that is because the leadership encourages it, either explicitly
or tacitly. That's my beef.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Thanks very much, appreciate it. Joel Well said, don't disagree
with the thing you've offered. Eight five zero two zero
five to b F. L. A. Ron you are up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 12 (01:02:02):
Good morning, President? Thank you. You always give us so
great information. You represent it from the James Madison Institute,
had some great information just like these other callers that
call in. You know, hey, we've they've got to call Congress.
They've got a call. You know how many people do that?

Speaker 17 (01:02:21):
I mean, I don't know. That's my beef. I want
to know how many.

Speaker 12 (01:02:23):
People are actually making a difference. And uh, that's that's
what it's going to take. You know, he had some
great comments yesterday, but did you know did he give
out a number two O two two two four three
one two one that's Washington call it. You know, hey,
it's not going to do any good unless we the
people stand up. And it was great that he had
brought up Kamala Harris and you know, he forgot a

(01:02:46):
very important point about how much.

Speaker 17 (01:02:48):
She liked the yellow school bus. And you know.

Speaker 12 (01:02:50):
I know that she wasn't as smart as all the
people on the short bus, but anybody can be a Democrat.

Speaker 17 (01:02:55):
So you have a great weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
Okay, they always great information.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Thank you, Ron, Classic, Derek, Matt, Nancy. Lines are popping
this morning. So what's the beef Friday? We've got a
caller that's calling in. No he quit, so or she quit.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be judgmental. I didn't
know whether it was a he or a she calling

(01:03:23):
in on line four. But here's what I can promise
you it was one or the other. Okay, we have
a line open eight five zero two zero five WFLA
eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
You are challenged to make a difference each and every day.
Would you do that for us?

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Please?

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Please, just a little just try it, would you? This
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott Talk past the hour.
Let's get to another set of phone calls here. It's
what's the beef Friday on the Morning Show with Preston's
gott Good morning, Derek, what's the beef?

Speaker 24 (01:04:09):
Oh boy, do I have a beef? And I'm going
to use my adult words and no cussing, and this
is going to be extremely difficult. Come on, all right,
so when you get a traffic ticket, you are basically
guilty into your proven innocence.

Speaker 17 (01:04:21):
That's a fact.

Speaker 24 (01:04:22):
Now, this little scumbag, and I'm using polite words, that
did the shooting out of FSU. Everybody's saying alleged or
suspected shooter. It's on video, there are witnesses, there are
police officers, and we still say it is suspected or alleged.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:04:36):
I do understand that is the law. But that irritates
the living Yeah, that out of me, and I know
it can't change, but god, it ticks me off.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yep. I am one on board with you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Now.

Speaker 24 (01:04:51):
That is my beef, and I don't feel better, but
thank you for trying.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
It's great, Derek, thank you. I appreciate the candor that
was brilliantly delivered as well. Matt, thanks for calling in.
What's the beef, Preston, how you doing, sir? Good?

Speaker 21 (01:05:11):
Good?

Speaker 9 (01:05:12):
Good to My beef is what's with all the developers
in Tallahassee building five trillion holes that look identical and
shoving them all on the same spot. I wish they
would have a little more creativity.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Yeah, a little change in elevation would be nice, wouldn't
it something?

Speaker 9 (01:05:29):
You know, keep a few trees around. So it's just crazy,
But I did want to say I heard you with
Chad Gray yesterday and just want to shout out Chad
Gray saved my life. Preston Hughes actually sent me to him,
and I recommend anybody with paying goes and.

Speaker 15 (01:05:43):
Sees Chad Gary.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Thank you, Matt. Appreciate the call, the kind words, and
the encouragement. Yeah, if you missed the segment yesterday, it'll
be up on the Conversations podcast. It might might keep
you from making a decision to have surgery that you
don't need. Now, if you need it, you need it,
but most of the time you probably don't for most cases.
And we're talking about orthopedic, you know, joint and stuff

(01:06:07):
like that. Let's go to Nancy that frees up the
line by the way, eight five zero two zero five
to bfl A good morning, aunt, Nancy. What's up?

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
Hi?

Speaker 22 (01:06:16):
I mean that people ask democrats, you know, and they
never answer the question. They answer a different question. I
had a friend like that and what I used to
say and it straightened them out was that sounds like
the answer to this question, not the answer to the
question that I asked, and then they repeat the question
they asked. And I don't think that Democrats listening realize

(01:06:43):
how much they're evading. You know, people who vote, they don't.
They don't hear that. They only hear the answers. And
I think that the Democrats have studied that, and that's
what they do. Is your answer, not answer the question,
but say a different answer, different question.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
I know it's coordinated, Nancy, it's a great observation. Thank
you very much for calling. I know it's coordinated because
I've proven it over the years with press releases that
coincide with stories that are printed in the mainstream media.
I know it's coordinated. But your observation on people not
listening to what they're saying and paying attention to the evasion,

(01:07:24):
I think you're right. All Right, we got to get
one more caller air and then well we've got another
set of calls coming up next. But Ursula, before you begin,
I have been doing this show since March eighteenth, two
thousand and two, and I think you're the very first
Ursula I have ever had on the show, and that's
thousands and thousands of callers, so congratulations and welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:07:50):
Hi Preston, thank you might be with what adults that
don't grow up? I live in a pre new neighborhood,
and there is like a flug war in my neighborhood,
like somebody there to put make America Great Again flag

(01:08:10):
which ignited make America Gay Again on another house, which
led to Ukraine never surrenders and what else? BLM and FDT.
I I'm raising five children in my house and they

(01:08:33):
are more adults than they are.

Speaker 10 (01:08:39):
Just grow up.

Speaker 25 (01:08:40):
We'll just grow up. Election is over all these questions
for my kids. I'm like, I don't know what's going on,
but these are adults in our neighborhood apparently, so hopefully
we'll figure this out and move on eventually when everybody
just gets over it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
I wish you were right, but I sadly don't think
so the weekend. But you can call in every week
and get it off your chest.

Speaker 25 (01:09:06):
Okay, I did, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Thank you. I appreciate the phone call. All right. Put
a check mark next to Ursula. We've got that name
now covered. Now, I'm serious. If you think about it,
I've probably taken forty thousand phone calls over the years
we've done this, and yeah, that's crazy. It's crazy. Seventeen

(01:09:35):
minutes past the album, we've got three lines open. We
have another George standing by. It's eight five zero two
zero five to WFLA eight five zero two zero five
ninety three fifty two one final segment of What's the
Bee Friday? All right, I went a little deep in

(01:09:57):
the last segment, which means this is three callers and
I need you to stay tight. We got to get
through this segment on time. And we begin with George. George,
thanks for being patient. What's the beef?

Speaker 15 (01:10:11):
My beef is the city getting in the grocery business. Preston,
what are the other grocery stores, you know, going to do?
But with this particular grocery store location, it's going to happen.
It's not if it's when. There's going to be robbery, stuggery,
and there'll be at least several shootings and murders in

(01:10:33):
the first year, I guarantee it. But the city has
no business subsidizes in grocery stores, and especially one in
that location, because when somebody gets shot or murdered or robbed,
they're going to sue the city.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
Thank you very much, George, appreciate it. We'll make note
of the prediction. I hope you're wrong, but I suspect
you're closer to right than wrong. Deborah, you're up. What's
the beef?

Speaker 16 (01:10:57):
Oh hey, Preston regarding kind of utailing on the AI
issue or a topic, I should say, for those in
town that are transportation challenged, we're in the beta zone
on the AI because a lot of the GPS is wrong,
and about eighty percent of the drivers of all the

(01:11:18):
aforementioned ride services are non English speaking, so trying to
convey general directions in a town they may be unfamiliar with,
and also a language that they may be unfamiliar with,
is very challenging.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
Wow, Debra, I'm glad you're laughing already. That's good for
the soul to be laughing. I will tell you this.
I would be getting right out of the vehicle if
I had to use a ride share and they didn't
speak my language fluently. I'm out, I'm out. I've been
known to hang up on a customer service rep that

(01:11:59):
the accents just too thick. I'm like, yeah, now, can
you get me a supervisor that speaks my language clearly.
If not have a good day, that's how it rolls
with me. Less, you're up. What's the beef, Well, actually
not so much of beef.

Speaker 15 (01:12:15):
As a help the lady with the flags.

Speaker 10 (01:12:18):
I live in an HOA that has no solicitation clause
and no flags.

Speaker 15 (01:12:24):
Go up as political.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Okay, and so and so the h o A, you
think if she's in one, that's that's the thing. There
may or may not be an h o A, But
the h o A, in your opinion, would solve that.
I believe it would. Okay, thanks very much, appreciate it.
It's interesting because those issues have been tried with mixed results.

(01:12:51):
Best as I can remember, I've covered a few of
those stories over the years, and and so, you know,
I'm not sure where it would fall. Well, it's my land,
and it's free speech. See, I'm a fan of hoas

(01:13:12):
and covenants and restrictions. And if you don't like the
covenants and restrictions, don't live there. That's just my personal
preference because covenants and restrictions prevent things like this, as
Less was just saying, and they also protect home values
with you know, rules on hey, you got to keep

(01:13:33):
your grasp mode and stuff like that. See, you can
always tell when there's a renter, and I think that
hoas need to be stronger on making sure that the
homeowner is responsible for the condition of the home if
it's rented, period end. If the renter's not taking care
of the lawn, you better make sure because it hurts

(01:13:54):
everyone's property values. But back to the flags. Yeah, complicated,
no doubt. Twenty seven past the hour. Let's come back
with the best and worst of the week. We've got
a good news segment of dad Joke and headlines from the.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Beating Joe at Preston Scott's what.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
What are You Doing with Freedom?

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
On News Radio one hundred and point seven w UFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
All right, this is really exhale time, final half hour
of the week, and Jose and I share our personal
best and worst of the week. What you know, it's
sometimes it's it's news related, but sometimes it's not. It's

(01:14:49):
just what's going on in our world. Jose, you're up.

Speaker 26 (01:14:52):
Yeah, So I'm gonna go ahead and get my bat
out of the way, just to just get it out.
The progressive prosecutor that let that illegal immigrant of a
team that crashed at ninety miles prior into a poor
young lady and took her life.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
He's getting off soft pretty much. He's walking. Yeah, he's walking.

Speaker 26 (01:15:10):
That's insane to me. That My good for the day
is Trump's Middle East trip. It was absolutely incredible. I
loved every single.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Minute of it.

Speaker 26 (01:15:21):
It was and you know, I think he's so crazy
that he might just be able to get get it done,
bring peace to the Middle East.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
We'll see, We'll see, no doubt. All right. My worst
earlier this week, I'm working on the landscaping project with
my See Jose's talking all these high fallutin things, right,
and then it's just me. I'm like whatever, I'm I'm
at a local big box store and we're checking out

(01:15:52):
with some bass, small little project in the backyard, and
so we're we've got the flatbed loaded up with stuff.
Dude and his wife in front of us, two customers
ahead of us. All right, So we're all just chilling
because they're in the middle of a price check, and
I'm all down with that. Hey, you gotta things happen,

(01:16:14):
something's not right, or you remember the price differently. So
they get all that squared away, and I notice the
way he's got his bags stacked, and he says to
the checkout lady, yeah, I got twelve of these bags
right here, and he points to the pea gravel or
whatever it was at the top, which is cheap, and
I know, darn good and well he does not have

(01:16:34):
twelve bags of pea gravel. And so the clerk, suspecting something,
was like, uh, I don't think they're all the same.
Sure enough the expensive marble and you know the price.
Your rocks are buried underneath. And he was livid that
she got got him, so he's trying to scammer. I'm

(01:17:01):
not done. She catches him, rings up the right price.
The wife begrudgingly pays the bill because I thought you anyway,
he pulls up to pick up the bags of whatever
he's pulling up in his escalade. My man, really, you're

(01:17:24):
gonna try to hoodwink the clerk and steal and you're
driving off at an escalad fairly recent model. Come on, brother,
stop that. I was just my son and I were
just stunned, just stunned, all right, now, my best of

(01:17:45):
the week. I decided to spare myself and some of
our kids, and we wanted to help another family member move.
So my wife and I hired a moving company for
a local move, and I put out you know, I

(01:18:10):
went online and some places make it easy, some places
make it hard, and I asked for bids. I heard
from one company immediately. The others I didn't even hear
from some of them. I'm like, okay, you don't need
my business, huh, all right, and they're all local. I

(01:18:35):
heard from one a few days later, and by then
it's like, okay, well your form stinks and it's brutal,
but here you go. Never heard back from them, So
I just circle back to the first group. And what
impressed me is they had like five star reviews, just

(01:18:56):
knocking it out of the park. And it's my moving
Chris Myrick's the owner, M y R c K. I'm
this is look I paid, I paid for mine. This
is not any kind of wink wink nod nod. You
know me better than that. I don't do that. But

(01:19:17):
I told Chris and his entire team, Howard, Tim, Daniel,
Greg and Parker that came to handle this move. They
were on time, they were polite to the core, they
were attentive, They went over and above. They didn't know

(01:19:37):
me from Adam. It's not like, oh, well, you know
you're doing it. No, huh huh. I could tell immediately
this is how they do business. And I also could
tell this is why they have five star reviews. So
I'm giving a shout out because my best of the

(01:19:58):
week happened yesterday because they knocked it out of the park.
So if you need movers and you're within five hundred
miles of the Capital City or inside of that, myrek
m y R I c K moving dot com, myrekmoving

(01:20:20):
dot com. Incredible. I'm telling you right now, this is
a young dude that has everything buttoned down to the
very end when things, I mean, it got hot yesterday
and I'm like, okay, and they're moving up, you know,
a second floor into a second floor apartment. Unbelievable, unbelievable,

(01:20:46):
best customer service experience I've had in forever. So you
do with that information what you will. You got to
have them a little moving work done. I never you know,
come on, and oh, by the way, I'm not hurting today,
you know what I'm saying. Forty two minutes after the hour,

(01:21:11):
it's the best and worst here in the morning show
with Preston Scott. This is gonna just this is gonna

(01:21:32):
make your heart feel good. Do you know anything about
the Soldiers Medal? It is a prestigious award since its
inception in nineteen twenty six, presented to those who deemed
deemed heroic through quoting clearly recognizable personal hazard or danger

(01:21:56):
and the voluntary risk of life. It's not enough to
be a good samaritan or to save a life. The
recipient of the Soldier's Medal must act without hesitation to
put his or her own life on the line. Pretty
lofty stuff, right, all right, Let's take you to June fifth,

(01:22:19):
twenty twenty three, nearly two years ago Carrington Place apartment
complex in North Carolina, a gunman attacked, shooting a teenage
girl in the back. Brian Lieberman twenty two just he said,

(01:22:43):
my instincts took over. I looked out my window and
my roommate we heard people screaming and saw people running
around my complex pool, at which point I grabbed my
weapon ran out my front door while my roommate dialed
nine to one one. As I got down stairs, I
approached a group of people and I threw my hands up,

(01:23:03):
stated I am an Army medic and they pointed to
an individual lying in the street. I was able to
locate a single gunshot wound in her lower back. The
shooter's vehicle drove past us again. The gunman returned. My
roommate yelled at me to get down. I threw myself

(01:23:24):
over the girl while the shooter drove by and shot
at us again, and that's when I pulled out my
weapon to return fire into the suspects vehicle. He continued
seeing to the young victim's wounds until medical personnel arrived
on the scene. The victims survived because of his actions.

(01:23:48):
He used plastic bags. He used his own body to
seal the wound until others got there. What you should
know about Brian Lieberman is he's Army Sergeant Army medic
Brian Lieberman assigned to the first Brigade Combat Team of
the eighty second Airborne Division. Twenty two year old kid

(01:24:14):
knew exactly what to do and literally threw himself over
the young lady to protect her. He used grocery bags
as a makeshift seal. When asked about how this all
happens besides instincts, he said, it all started at home.

(01:24:37):
My mom is still a nurse and has been for
well over thirty years. And my father was a paramedic
and a police officer. I grew up seeing my parents
always go above and beyond, always stopping to help someone
in need, no matter where they were, what we were doing.
And so we salute you, young men. Army Sergeant Brian

(01:25:03):
Lieberman just twenty two, was twenty nineteen at the time
with the eighty second Airborne Brother, you deserve that soldiers
medal and the fact that there are young people like

(01:25:26):
that and oh, by the way, now running to serve
in our military with a new leadership. That, my friends,
