Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
There's a great story behind that recording. Morning Friends Friday
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am Preston,
he is Jose. Good to be with you. Friday, May
twenty third, Jeremiah thirty three to three. Call to me
and I will answer you and will tell you great
and hidden things that you have not known. In other words,

(00:33):
have a talk with God. That's the point of the
segment today. Let's to have a talk with God. The
artist is a guy named John Gibson, and John was
a contemporary Christian music artist who happened to be a

(00:55):
white guy who sounded like Stevie Wonder had an incredible gift.
In fact, when he was young, it was kind of
known this dude can sing. And so Stevie calls him
up in a concert and has him sing a duet
with him on stage, and it just blew people away.

(01:17):
We'll fast forward a few years. He's doing his own
Christian music and he puts a call out and he
says to Stevie, hey, you won't play harmonica on my song.
That was Stevie Wonder playing harmonica on his song have
a talk with God? And pretty cool, pretty cool stuff

(01:42):
and a great message eleven passed the hour Good Morning Friends,
This Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm getting better. I
just can't hear. I'm so congested. My it's crazy. I

(02:07):
don't know what I'm sounding like, no clue, It's just
it's hilarious. Let's see here. May twenty third, seventeen eighty five,
Benjamin Franklin writes in a letter that he has just
invented bifocal glasses. Ben Franklin was the man that dude.

(02:31):
Just an era of discovery, no doubt. But look where
curiosity took that guy. Incredible. Seventeen eighty eight, South Carolina
becomes the eighth state to ratify the Constitution. Nineteen oh three,
Heiratio Horatio Nelson, Jackson, and Suel Crocker leave San Francisco

(02:55):
on the first automobile trip across the United States. The
story of that trip is epic. Think about how many
roads there weren't and how they got from one part
of the country to the next. Where'd they get gas,

(03:17):
Where did they find parts to fix their car as
they're driving across dirt roads and ruts and bumps, and
who knows what else. Nineteen eleven, The New York public
library is dedicated. They probably had porn in it, saying
nineteen thirty four police kill bank robbers bonding Parker and

(03:41):
Clyde Barrow in Beanville Parish, Louisiana. So there you go,
this date in history. Take a peek inside. It is
National Taffy Day. Taffy if you are wearing crowns, stay clear,

(04:02):
don't worry, don't don't chew on taffy. Just telling you
National Lucky Penny Day, National road trip Day, National Cooler Day,
National don't fry Day. Now, I take it that has

(04:22):
to do with sun and and not baking yourself in
the sun. So that's what that's that's about National don't Friday.
It's it's get it fry Day Friday before before Memorial Day.
And by the way, can I just say this about

(04:42):
Memorial Day, Please please please two things. One, if you're
going to have a little bit of a barbecue celebration
or or even if you're not, before you do whatever

(05:03):
you do, you're grilling some food, awesome, but before you partake,
please gather everybody and have a moment of silence and
a moment of thanks and a prayer of thanksgiving to

(05:27):
those who have given their last full measure of service
their lives to the defense of this country. Because that's
what Memorial Day is. It's not oh, let's have a
hot dog in a Hamburger Day. It's Memorial Day. It
separates itself from Veterans Day in that we are remembering

(05:55):
and honoring those who have died in service to this country.
Please please please make that a priority and teach your children.
Number two, if you are going to go to the beach,

(06:21):
pay attention to the flags. Go to my blog page
before you go. You're going with newbies, have them go
to my blog page. How to recognize rip currents. I've
got a video that shows you that, and a second
video on the same blog that shows you how to
get out of one. If you are trapped in one.

(06:43):
It can literally save your life or the life of
a family member or friend. Okay, okay, keepy. Thanks seventeen
past the hour, it's morning show at Preston Scott. Because

(07:24):
we dare to talk about things that very few others will,
I run the risk of alienating some of you from
time to time, and that's okay. By the way, I'm
I'm well aware that if I chose to right now

(07:46):
as my voice is just captured by this cold, I
could sound like Berry White.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Own baby.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Anyway, A survey by Sleep Foundation found that forty two
percent of adults start their day with a shower, twenty
five percent wash at night before going to bed, so

(08:20):
two thirds of Americans make it a daily habit. Now,
I'll be the first to tell you, ooh, there's a
third of America that does not shower daily. Ooh. Now,
the story is what's better for you showering in the

(08:46):
morning or showering in the evening. And yes, there is
a better answer here. But there's also a part of
this entire story, this saga, that is the real core issue. Now,
as I read into this study, I was confronted with

(09:09):
some things that were just gross. I mean, for example,
the average person loses about a gram and a half
of dense dead skin cells a day. That's half a
teaspoon of flakes that your skin just yeah, the jettisons

(09:33):
gone the average person. Showers, of course, are good for
your mental health. But let's get to the cleanliness side
of this. People that shower at night argue that rinsing
off before bed helps remove all the build up on

(09:53):
your body that ends up in your sheets, which feedback
to her that can disrupt your skin's natural microbiome. However,
that's not the case. The issue isn't so much showering

(10:14):
in the morning or the after or the evening, which,
by the way, morning is better for your overall health
than evening. Okay, but here's the issue. How often are
you washing your sheets? Listen to this. Those skin cells

(10:41):
that you lose are being trapped in your sheets. Over time.
You lose some of your skin cells throughout the day,
but you lose them at night as well. So night
after night after night, your skin cells are getting trapped

(11:03):
in your sheets, in your bedding. Hold on and guess
what happens. Dust mites that you don't see feed on
them and then multiply in your dead skin cells in
your sheets and in your bedding, and that can cause

(11:26):
skin irritation, worsen allergy or asthma symptoms. So whether you
shower in the morning or afternoon evening is up to you.
It's a little better in the morning, but the bottom
line is what's non negotiable, clean your sheets. I never

(11:49):
would have thought it was as gross as it is.
Apparently dust mites love your skin cells. So if this
doesn't cause you to strip your bed and wash your

(12:09):
sheets today, I got nothing for you, but it ought
to do. It certainly ought to do. I'm guessing that
maybe it's a weekly thing now that just I'm as
I read this study, my skin crawled. I was just
literally ooh, twenty eight minutes past the hour, a little late.

(12:32):
It's all right, back with the big stories in the
press box next. My skin's itchy. Yes, still drinking my
throat coat. Friday in the morning show. The weekend could
not come soon enough for me. We will be off

(12:53):
on Monday, back on Tuesday. Short week for me, though.
I will be off Friday and then the following Monday
as well. Grant Allen, though will be pinch hitting otherwise
known as daging designated host along with Jose But the
big stories in the press box. I don't know if
you saw this. Pete Hexath's Secretary of Defense, led a

(13:16):
prayer service in the Pentagon's auditorium. He plans on there
being a monthly prayer service. What's interesting about this, first
of all, as I certainly don't think you make it compulsory,

(13:39):
but to say, if you'd like to come, come, that's
wonderful on the subject of faith. The Supreme Court deadlocked.
It was four to four, with Amy Coney Barrett. Justice
Barrett accusing herself with it leaves a tie in place.

(14:05):
The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to
give school taxpayer money for a religious charter school that
was going to operate through the public school system. Because
it was four to four, that that hold remains. That

(14:28):
is the law now, it's likely to come back in
another form. When I first saw this, I thought, uh, jeez,
Amy Coney Barrett, really But I got a note from
Matt Stavor at Liberty Council and he explained the refusal,
and it makes perfect sense. I'm not. Look, there are
a lot of things to scratch your head about with

(14:48):
Amy Coney Barrett, recusal on this case is not one
of them. The school was represented by the Religious Liberty Clinic,
Notre Dame's law school. Barrett taught there for fifteen years
before becoming a federal judge. Later. Justice Nicole Garnett, who's

(15:15):
a law professor at Notre Dame and leading advocate for
allowing the use of public funds at religious schools, is
a close friend of Justice Barrett, and Barrett is godmother
to one of her children. That's a conflict of interest.
It just is. It would have been grounds for even
you know, if not, I don't know how you appeal

(15:37):
a Supreme Court ruling, but it would have been grounds
to question it. And so, you know, I have a
different view on this. I understand where Matt Staver and
where this is coming from, I really do. I'm just
not sure I'm ready for the slippery slope that comes

(15:59):
with outright public school funding for a religious school. What
happens if an Islamist school wants funding. I just I
want to talk to Matt Stever about this. I'm going

(16:20):
to reach out to Matt and see if I can
get him on the show so we can have a
discussion about it. And then the Trump administration got stopped
by another district court the dismantling of the Department of Education.
The District Court for Massachusetts US District Court stopped all
efforts they have to rehire all fired federal education staff

(16:46):
and in the ruling, a Biden appointed judge, Judge Mayong Jun,
said that the true intent is effectively to dismantle the
department without an authorizing statute I don't disagree with that
that is the intent, and that the department cannot be
shut down without Congress's approval. That on the surface, that

(17:11):
part sounds reasonable. Now a district judge stopping at nationwide,
that seems again we're back in the same pattern, but worse. Congress.

(17:33):
There will be some awkward pauses here today because I
am coughing quite a bit. I'm better, it just doesn't
sound like it. And those coughing fits are just they
just are. And so I apologize in advance for some
additional pregnant pausing. I am notorious for pregnant pauses, but

(17:54):
I'm even worse when I'm coughing because I'm trying to
spare you. So I apologize. Adriana Smith, I'd not heard
have you ever heard of her? Adriana Smith? I have not.
Thirty year old black mother nurse kept on life support
for more than ninety days due to Georgia's six week
abortion ban. Despite being declared brain dead, they kept her

(18:19):
on life support in order to deliver her child. Now,
I got a note yesterday, the email that I get
that I endure for you. This one comes from Reproductive
Freedom for All Georgia and slams Georgia's extreme abortion ban

(18:46):
in response to Adriana Smith's being forced to keep her
on life support for ninety days. They called it torture.
I have so much that I want to say about this,
but I'm limited by time. How could they not losing

(19:15):
their daughter, their sister, their whatever. How could they not
just embrace the possibility of her child being born, Her

(19:37):
child a living, breathing reminder of the life of Adriana.
And I wrote back to the to the media center

(19:58):
for this group, and I said, you know, it's curious
to me that you consider it such a tragedy that
she was kept alive to preserve the life of her
unborn child, not fetus, not sells unborn child. But yet
you have nothing to say about the children that are

(20:19):
killed inside their mother's womb every seventy eight seconds in
this country. And this just speaks to you, know. They

(20:40):
go through the impact of Georgia's abortion ban on Black
women and families. What Adriana Smith's case reveals about the
state of reproductive freedom and Georgian in the South legislative solutions.
Georgia leaders have failed to act on why abortion bands
threaten Black maternal health and human dignity.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Can I help you out here? If you don't want
to have a baby, don't get pregnant. This isn't complicated.

(21:19):
Even if you don't agree with the notion of don't
engage in sex outside of marriage, then take preventive measures
to avoid getting pregnant.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I just yeah, forty six minutes after.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Morning Show with Preston Scott, we suggest you use the
restroom before you listen, or invest in the thirty foot catheter.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yes, I use it all the time.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, let's talk a little bit more about that last
subject there. Stellnose in the break that this is a
topic protecting the life of the unborn that is so

(22:33):
tabooed as so many people they just don't want to
go there and they don't want to talk about the
uncomfortable aspects of it. For example, the argument has always
thrown that what about rape incest in the life of
the mother? I grant you all problematic. Let's talk about

(23:00):
one by one life of the mother to me lowest
of the hanging fruit. If a decision is made by
the mother with consultation with doctors, with the husband, father,
of the child, that there is something going on in

(23:23):
this pregnancy that would be a danger to the life
of the mother. Tough decision. I would not stand in
judgment of that decision. Incest, that's another one that's really
really hard because usually victims of incest are threatened and

(23:52):
have to lie about everything that's going on. There you
still have an unborn child who it's not their fault.
But you could easily get to a situation where we're
talking about an eleven or twelve year old girl. And
again that gets down to dealing with it on the

(24:16):
front end, not waiting, and that really is very very
rare because the trauma that happens, you know, incest is
very much a rape, and rape pregnancies are remarkably rare
because of the trauma the body endures the female body.

(24:41):
It doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, it's just remarkably rare.
But in those cases, there is a solution. When a
woman is rape, they go to the doctor, they go
to the emergency room, they get care, and they have
what is called a DNC. They have a procedure done
that prevents any form of pregnancy, any conception, from taking place.

(25:07):
But the trick in that one is it requires a
woman to say they were raped, and sometimes they're not.
They engage in a risky sexual behavior pattern that leads
to a pregnancy, and they can't just claim that it's

(25:28):
rape because it wasn't. And so for the overwhelming majority
of these cases involving an unplanned pregnancy, it is uniformly irresponsibility.

(25:50):
And I refuse to hold a child, a human being
in the womb of the mother, responsible and not having
an opportunity to live a life to pursue whatever God's
placed in their heart, their their mind, their spirit to pursue.

(26:14):
I just anyway, I think that we have got to
go back to teaching young people about the responsibility of
having children and not make it easy for them. You'd

(26:43):
be amazed at how many people just decide to make
better choices if they realize they can't have an abortion,
and actually society wins on that one. Lee Williams, the Gunwriter,
joins me next here on the Morning Show with Preston
spot It is time for the for the second hour

(27:12):
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Good morning friends.
I'm feeling better today. I may not sound like it,
but I but again, just hang in there with me.
It's great to be with you. For the second hour,
and on today's program, we are joined by he is

(27:35):
the gun Writer, Ladies and gentlemen, The gun Writer dot
sub stack dot com. Lee Williams, Good morning, sir, How
are you.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Good morning. I'm glad to be here. I hope you're
feeling better.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, you know, summer spring cold suck. But yeah, we're
we're we are. We're gamers around here, Lee, we are gamers. Hey,
tell me how disappointed are you are? Or is it
to the point now where it just it's like, yeah,
blah blah blah that the Florida Legislature once again whiffed
on advancing the Second Amendment to levels it's supposed to be.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
You know, I knew it was going to happen. Everybody
knew it was going to happen. It's sad. I think
these guys need to take a hard look at themselves
in the mirror and decide. You know, they're all Republicans.
It's just sickening, quite frankly, that they can't get along
and do what's right for us. It's like when you
get in that state house, something happens to your mind. Man,

(28:33):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
It blows my sense of you've got I don't even
know how to describe it. We have yet another shooting
here in Tallahassee at Florida State University on campus, and
somehow they failed to understand that these college campuses are
cities unto themselves and the people that work there, that

(28:56):
our students there should have the right to protect themselves.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
I know what I would be doing nowadays, if I
was a college student, let's just put it that way,
I would be taking steps to protect myself.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You know, we have been told from sources connected to
the shooting at FSU that there was a concealed carry
holder who was following the rules of the campus and
was forced to flee when they could have dispatched the
shooter when the shotgun jammed. The shooter had a shotgun
that failed on him, he was throwing it away and

(29:32):
was then reaching for his side arm. It could have
been ended right there. But instead he's a law abiding
rule following person and he flees to not get killed.
But it could have been stopped right then and there.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Oh that's so sad, and you know, quite frankly, that's disgusting.
Having these little lines in the state that's saying you
can't cross this line with a firearm FIRS that you're
caring for self defense, but you can carry it over there.
It's just sick me.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well and lead, don't They then have a responsibility to
provide complete protection, as you would say, I mean, if
we're going to surrender our firearms entering a courtroom, Okay,
they have security there, they have armed there, they have
metal detectors. There's a degree of safety one could assume
they have inside a courtroom. You cannot make those assumptions
on a college campus because it cannot be provided.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Oh you could, you would just need a couple thousand
armed officers. Right, it's sad. I feel bad, brother.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
When we look at a couple of stories you're covering
right now, one of them deals with Fort Devons. Give
everybody a little bit of a snapshot of what's going
on in that story, sort of where it began and
then the developments there.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Well.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Fort Devon's story should have should be a national story
in that this is what you need to do if
your rights are being violated. There's a small, very small
young club called the Fort Evans Rifle and Pistol Club, Inc.
It's not affiliated with the base. It's just a bunch
of guys. Most of them, like eighty percent of them,
are veterans. They haven't shot at the fort for three

(31:11):
years because of some court action, so the club has
not gone out to the range. They used to go
out twice a month on Tuesday mornings. The Fort would
let them come out one Tuesday they could shoot handguns
when they could shoot rifles. But then they stopped them,
and the club sued them. Well. They sued them three

(31:33):
years ago in federal court and they won March twentieth.
The Fort had sixty days to appeal their loss, but
they allowed it to expire. Club members go out there
on the thirteenth. They were told it was going to
be a pistol day, so they all brought their pistols.
They get out there and they're told no, no, no, no,
it's a rifle day. So of course none of them
have rifles. Some of them drove two hours to get there.

(31:56):
They're outraged. They say that the games the forest playing
are transparent. James Gatton is the is the club's treasurer.
He's a former jack the officer in the army and
they've had it quite frankly with the games that they're playing.
I spoke to one of the Fort officials, their actual
public information officer named John Quinn brother, the guys that

(32:21):
you know. I asked them what happened and why the
club has been allowed out there for three years, and
he said it was probably COVID. I'm like, oh, come on, man,
I know that's not the case. The Fort officials are
full of lies and the club is just full of discontent.
So they pushed four and they received. They're pushing for

(32:44):
an emotion for contempt against the Fort, and they will
win because they won the court case. It's just two
guys out there that are just not allowing them to shoot.
And these are the four senior four officials, and it
makes makes me that they can't get out there. The
two people responsible are Lieutenant Colonel Carlos pros To Estrada

(33:06):
and they have those thirty year civilian bod lawyer John Hollis.
Those two gentlemen are responsible for this mess.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Joining us on the program is Lee Williams. He is
affectionately known as the gun Writer. You can catch his
work sign up for the newsletter The Gunwriter Dot substack
dot com. The Morning Show with Preston Scott Lee Williams

(33:39):
with me The gun Writer dot substack dot com is
where you can find his work. Lee, let's just kind
of button up this story about Fort Devons your interview.
Do you record those interviews and other? Is this something
that could be admissible in court? When he states that
he's following court orders and they clearly are not.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
I do not record my interviews that I have not
That's just a journalist's choice. Some do, some don't. I
do not mine or made. My interviews are done for
this new stories, not any court filings. I like this
story because it shows how a club should react. Now,
it's like half the members of the club at some

(34:22):
point seem to have had some legal training. But they
did it right. They didn't shoot for a while, unfortunately,
but they're going to have their range visits restored.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well, you know, when you say that, it reminds me
of several cases we've covered over the years here on
this program, not necessarily related to the Second Amendment, but
where the government counts on the fact that the private
citizenry does not have the resources to fight.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Them right right, and in this case, they have the resources.
I mean, the club has a member. He's a truck driver.
He donated nine grand the legal fight and that really
helped them. As to writing the complaints, I mean, I
think they probably argue over which club members actually going
to write them. There all attorneys, but this is the
way that these victories should be won.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
When when you step back from this and they get
a motion for contempt and it's going to get granted,
what then happens? Do we have charges filed against the
two individuals that are making this a problem.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Well that's going to depend on how upset the judge
gets he could hold those two in contempt. They want
a US marshall, a United States Marshall out there with
them ensuring that they can shoot, and the court can
grant that. I mean the court. The judge has tremendous leeway,
and he's already made a decision in this case, so

(35:47):
I would think that he would. If he's going to
air to anyone side, it's probably going to be toward
the club.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
All right, Lee Williams with me. We're going to take
a break here and come back with plenty of times
so that we can talk about the any updates kind
of fill you in on what's going on with Patrick
Tata domiac. He is serving a twenty year sentence for nothing. Literally,
he did not break any laws whatsoever. And we'll talk
with Lee about a story he has been covering without ceasing.

(36:18):
Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yes an
iHeart Radio station. Back with the gun Writer. Thegunwriter dot

(36:42):
substack dot com. He is Lee Williams. Lee. Catch people
up who might not know the name know the story
of Patrick Tata domiak.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Well. Tate has seventeen years left of his original twenty
year criminal sentence. He was a active duty sailor. He
was scheduled to go to seal school as an officer.
You should be leading a seal platoon right now. Instead,
he's sitting in a federal prison in New Jersey for
the next seventeen years. The ATF went after him for
reasons unknown. Said he was a bad ombre, kicked down

(37:15):
his door, found nothing wrong. They lied in court about
his the stuff he had. He had, nothing illegal. He
had inert RPGs. He had a toy Sten submachine gun,
a toy light machine gun. He had. It's very expensive.
Handguns are worth about seven eight grand apiece that fired
from an open bolt. There, of course legal he had

(37:39):
inert M seventy nine s and M two three's. Basically,
he had nothing that the ATF would have been concerned about,
yet he was sent to twenty years in prison. ATF
wanted to give them thirty years, but they didn't. They
lied under oath. So the most recent story we came
out with with Tate's help, we looked at how he

(38:00):
ended up with a twenty year sentence and we go
through the horrible documents that show how he had forty
three points, which is what he would have received if
he murdered someone. This kid is a great kid, he's
a huge patriot. He had no criminal record, and yet

(38:22):
they gave him twenty years. So the ATF didn't look
like fools for hitting a house where there was no
bad guns.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Lee. I know, we want to just get him out
of prison first and foremost.

Speaker 6 (38:34):
But.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Doesn't it matter how this all started? Where this began.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah, it started with some ignorant ATF agents who believed
the snitch that they sent in there. They ended up
paying nine grand to and the snitch tried to get
Tate to sell him some bad stuff and Tate would
be refused. There was some evidence that the the snitch
lied to the agents that were handling him, and that's

(39:03):
how they kicked down Tate's doors. That is terrible and
that should result in some type of penalty, fiscal penalty
toward the ATF or Tate. But right now, the most
important thing is getting him out of prison. He's in
a twenty inmate room in a low security prison in
New Jersey. He's in a big cell full of bunks.

(39:26):
The guy should be leading the seal for two brother.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Like I said, so, where do things stand right now?
We have obviously we brought this to the attention of
US Senator Rick Scott and others. What are we Is
anything moving?

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yes? I think there are some stuff moving behind the scenes.
But the more the merrier, I would encourage all of
your readers to write letters to their congress people and
ask them to look at this case, because brother, there's
a good kid in prison who did nothing wrong, who
should not be there. And that's hey, he should not

(40:04):
be in prison. I went through every single document in
this court case and there's nothing illegal. I mean, he
possessed toy M seventy nine. They're flare launchers. They're thirty
seven millimeters as opposed to forty millimeter. They're designed to
shoot flayers. They call them grenade launchers. I mean, my god,
all of the items that he had you can buy

(40:24):
online right now. Legally, most of them, like the seventy nine,
you don't need any kind of paperwork for. They'll just
mail them right to your house. Yet for him, they
they cost him twenty years.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Tell me this, Let's assume he's going to be released
at some point soon. Does he have a case here
for wrongful prosecution against the ATF and against those specific
agents involved in the lies that have been that we're
told in court.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
I assume he does. I mean they they be imprisoned
and innocent, completely innocent. Man. Yet I don't even know
if you would go for that. I don't know how
badly he wants to get these three years of his
life back that he's spent behind bars. I know he
wants to rejoin the Navy. The Navy never went after him,
They never charged him with anything. As a listenment ran

(41:21):
out when he was in prison. They paid him up
until it ran out. And all I know is he
wants to rejoin if possible, and get back and enable
special operations. He's mentioned nothing about any type of lawsuit,
which would which those type of lawsuits are difficult, by
the way.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah, yeah, some though are easier than others. And this
would seem to be pretty easy though.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yeah, one would hope.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I mean, you're you're, you're, You're able to in your
articles demonstrate the fabrications that were told to frame him.
He's been framed.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Without a doubt, with any doubts. He I mean, the items.
The thing that gets me is the items that he
was charged with are available online. Like I said, you
can buy him right now without any kind of background
checker paperwork.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
It's almost as if someone needs to just do that,
take every single thing that was listed against him, and
go ahead and buy it.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Yeah. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Actually, the thing
just makes me sick quite frankly, that you know, having
been in law enforcement, having been a police officer, the
fact that no one cares that there's no justice here
makes me sick.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Well, there certainly are some people that do care, and
you're certainly one of them. And Lee, thank you for
all the work you're doing to try and help Tate
and all the work you're doing to try and help
keep the Second Amendment safe in our country.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Thank you, Oh my pleasure, thank you all.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Right, Lee Williams with us, Lee, thanks very much again.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Forget to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Thirty five minutes past the hour The Morning Show. Moneymaker.
Hanging in there, but I am sprinting to the end
of this program. I just want to get to the
end of the show and then disconnect my voice for
three days that I've told my production people I am

(43:53):
not voicing a thing until next Tuesday, not doing a thing.
I've got to just heal. What's the beef? Please call now,
I'm I'm just laying it out there. Please call during
What's the Beef? Because I can't carry that half hour,
can't do it. My voice just can't hold up. So

(44:16):
I need you, ruminators, I need you. I need non
stop calls and virtually nothing for me next hour. Okay,
simple as that. Big stories in the press box. This
one is I think perplexing to a lot of people.
The Supreme Court has deadlocked. It's four to four because

(44:39):
Amy Cony Barrett recused herself from the case because it
involved her former school, Notre Dame School of Law. And
I have no problem with her recusing herself. She needed
to recuse herself. Just is what it is. Honestly, I
would have probably anticipated this and found a different advocacy

(45:02):
group then and taking my chances at at making a
pervasive argument or persuasive argument. The ruling is this. The
Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to give
tax payer money to a Catholic private school that was

(45:23):
going to be it's not really a private school. It
was going to be a charter school, a public charter school,
but a Catholic charter school. I have, I have. I
have mixed feelings on this only in that I get it.

(45:44):
I understand the reason why the Supreme Court is sitting
the way it is. But it's it was four to four.
I mean, for the justices believe that no, they should
have funding. The argument was persuasive. My slippery slope in

(46:06):
this is what happens if it's an Islamic school that
then wants tax payer money. See, I think there's a
big difference in choice where I take my money that
funds private education and I take my portion of it

(46:29):
and I use it in whatever school I want, private
or public. That's different than everybody contributing to a school
that they don't agree with. And I don't know if
I'm making that argument very clear. I think it's a

(46:51):
slippery slope to say, yes, the government's going to fund
a Catholic public school. If I were the school, I
wouldn't want the entanglement that comes with being in that
web of whatever public education is these days. So as

(47:16):
of right now, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling stands, can't
do it. Back to the drawing board. Now, Matt Staver
has a differing opinion. And I have so much regard
for Matt. I want to I want to get him
on the show, and we will. We will talk about
this story on the subject of education, the Trump Administration's

(47:38):
efforts to overhaul the Department of Education. And I mean,
let's face it, Trump is not looking for a reorganization.
He wants to gut the thing. He wants to kill it.
And a judge said, no, you can't without congressional approval.
Now you can say what you will about district courts

(47:59):
and nationwide and junctions. I don't disagree with the argument
that it shouldn't happen, but I also don't disagree with
the idea sorry that Congress needs to act. Congress needs
to step up and say we don't need a Department

(48:21):
of Education anymore and pass it. We don't need this
department anymore, and pass it. Trump is doing by executive
order a lot of things that Congress needs to step
up and do. I'm one hundred percent behind doing away
with Doe one hundred percent, but there's a way that

(48:41):
you have to do it. I'm not certain that this
judge is wrong on the merits of the argument he makes.
He's wrong in the scope in his authorities should be
extended only to his district. But the overarching issues I

(49:02):
think have merit. Forty one minutes after the hour, more
awards lost. I'll tell you about it, beast. I am
dumbfounded that we are still watching young girls get deprived

(49:24):
of awards because they're competing against boys. This is in California.
Young girl named Rhese Hogan Korean Lutheran High School. She
sets a personal record, a school record in the triple
jump thirty seven feet two inches during a meet last weekend,

(49:44):
competing in Division three of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern
Section Finals. She won, She won, but she couldn't take
first on the podium because a dude was there. A
guy was standing on the podium. The boy beat her

(50:09):
by four feet. Wasn't even close. So you've trained, you've
practiced over and over and over and over and over,
and you set a school record, a personal record, only

(50:31):
to find that it's not good enough because you got
beaten by a boy who just decided I want to
be a girl. I heard someone say in a debate
on this subject. It was testimony, and someone said can

(50:53):
I be a thirteen year old? And the lady testifying said, well, no,
of course not. The person said, why not? I want
to be I want to identify as that. I shared

(51:21):
the story last week about the lady that walked up
to a school board meeting and went around behind the
area where they're all sitting and took a seat with
the school board members and said, I'm a school I'm
identifying as a school board member. After the awards ceremony

(51:49):
where this young girl, Reese Hogan, had to stand on
the second place platform. When the ceremony was over over,
she looked around and went up on the first place
portion of the platform and pictures and video was taken
in shouts and screams and applause. She was threatened at

(52:14):
the preliminaries with not being allowed to compete because she
wore a T shirt that said protect girls Sports. This
is so sick and twisted and wrong. Gavin Newsom thinks
it's unfair for boys to compete against girls, but he

(52:38):
doesn't have the courage to deal with it. Congress won't
deal with it. We for some reason, haven't gotten it
before a United States Supreme Court yet either. And I'm
just I'm stunned that we are sitting here dealing with

(52:58):
this forty six minutes after What's the Beef Friday comes
up in just a little bit, and friends, I'm gonna
need you today, Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio double
UFLA Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
All right, getting you ready for what's the Beef? Here?
On the program. My boss just walked in and said,
you sound like you've been smoking packs of Marborough every
day for years. Sorry, I'm serious. This has got to
be like almost you know, sandpaper on the ears. It's
just brutal. I apologize, but we'll get through. We just

(53:51):
got an hour and eight minutes left. That's it. Hour
in eight minutes. What's the beef coming up? We were
just talking about a young lady who got deprived of
an award. I saw a tally, and the numbers of
awards and scholarships and honors that have been deprived of
girls and women is staggering. It's not just an isolated

(54:15):
thing to one or two people. And that's not even
counting the people that have been literally injured. A girl
has paralysis and is facing it for the rest of
her life because of a dude on the other side
of a volleyball net. Colorado's new LGBT mandates now impacting

(54:45):
a cherished Christian camp about thirty miles southwest of Denver.
It's Idrahaj. That's the name of the camp. Idrahaj. It's
short for I'd rather have Jesus. It's a Christian camp
that's been in operation since nineteen forty eight. They're being

(55:06):
faced with having to shut down because Colorado is mandating
that they offer showers and bunks and bathrooms according to
someone's gender identity, not their biological sex. This is courtesy

(55:28):
of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. They've established new
regulations mandating resident camps provide access to restrooms, showers, dressing rooms,
and sleeping facilities that correlate with someone's gender identity. Christian

(55:49):
camps be damned, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Colorado needs to
be dealing with it. Exodus of all rational minded people.
Businesses need to leave, and they need to turn that over.

(56:11):
Let their economies collapse, and all good and decent moral
people need to flee the state. This is the same
state that has made Jack Phillips Masterpiece Baker, a criminal
and has ruined his life because he wouldn't create a
wedding cake for a same sex couple. He said, they

(56:34):
can buy any cake they want here, I just don't
have to make him one. And he's right, and the
Supreme Court said he's right, but they continue to persecute him.
This is another form of persecution inside the state of
Colorado against religious beliefs. Second thing that might get you
ready for what's the beef? US officials knew about the

(56:59):
risks of myocarditis from COVID vaccines, but did not say it.
They knew the COVID shots would increase heart inflammation risk,
they didn't say it. They downplayed the risks. If I
lost a loved one during COVID and they had the shot,

(57:27):
I would be suing the federal government. I would be
suing the vaccine maker. I'd sue everybody. Seem all what's
to be Friday? I need you friends? Normally I would say, Hey,
no big deal, we got you, but I need calls

(57:51):
because my voice is toast eight five zero two zero
five WFLA. I'll try not to say huh because I
can't hear either. My ears are so stopped up. It's comical.
Eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two
eight five zero two zero five to WFLA. Have pity

(58:12):
on this talk show host? Call me, now, what's the beef? Friday?
Is next? Jose standing by one? Line is taken three
or available? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. All right,

(58:42):
here we go, bravely ahead. It's time for What's the beef?
If you're new to the program known as The Morning
Show with Preston Scott, this is where we set aside
time for you to complain about whatever your little heart desires.
If it matters to you, it matters to me. We
simply asked that you not use profanity and don't make
it personal. Hold on thought I was gonna sneeze and

(59:13):
then cough, but I was fighting it off. Sorry about that.
Let's go to the phone lines. I'm not wasting any
time here, Greg, Good morning, Welcome, what's the beef?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Good morning?

Speaker 7 (59:22):
I have a beef with the tobacco Free Florida. If
you want to convince iHeartRadio podcast listeners to stay away
from vaping, just remind us that the devices are made
in China and are subject to tariffs. But, as I
was telling Jose, my primary beef is this double standard
on being balanced the president of Florida and m University.

(59:48):
We read in the Sunday Democrat that she was called
Maga Marva and yet this Free Palestine assassin from Thursday night,
we still don't know where he got his firearm from.
The churis hell, ain't Washington, d C. And finally, I
did want to hope that the ACC Florida State seminoles

(01:00:12):
receive a regional on Memorial Day and they don't forget
one of their losses to Duke and it's sixteen to four.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Thank you very much, Greg. Appreciate the phone call that
freeze up a line eight five zero two zero five
to b fl A. Good morning, Tim, you're up. What's
the beef?

Speaker 8 (01:00:29):
Good morning my beef. I guess is with all these
people that the rules don't seem to apply to them,
And I mean it's all over Like you go to
the checkout line at the grocery store and it says
express check out ten items or less, and they got
a cart full. They just ignore it. Or they're driving
and you know it says no right turn on red,

(01:00:49):
but they turn, or the crosswalk says do not walk,
and they still just go right in front of traffic.
And I don't understand why people have become so immune
to following ropes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, it's a bit of a malady in this day
and age, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:01:07):
It really is. I mean, I guess I've always been
a role follower, so it drives me crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Yeah my wife is, Yeah, my wife is as well,
and we talk about this from time to time. Tim,
Thanks very much. I appreciate the phone call. Eight five
zero two zero five to be Fla. All right, Swisher, really, yes, okay,
I've never I've never seen a name like that in

(01:01:33):
all my life.

Speaker 9 (01:01:35):
I have a question of people that like open borders.
Why do they like open borders? Do they lock their
house to keep bad people out? Well, God has a
border around Heaven. Then to get through the parlegates, you
have to believe that Jesus done on the cross to
save you from your sands.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Fair enough, Swisher, Thanks very much. Eight five zero two
zero five to b f l A. Yeah, that That's
one of the things we've talked about a lot over
the years is the people that believe in open borders
certainly don't have them in their homes. They they're the
first ones to live in gated communities and keep anybody
out that that might want a squad or camp on

(01:02:16):
their land. Let's go to Matt, who is standing by.
Good morning, Matt, you're up. What's the beef more a president?

Speaker 7 (01:02:24):
I know your thoughts.

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
The body is I have a beef with these feral
but I'm gonna try to make it quick. My beef
is these federal judges that are overstepping their bounds and
trying to stop the president from the exercise of his authority.
Isn't there there is a way to impeach a federal judge, right?

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
I believe?

Speaker 10 (01:02:48):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
Why why is this process of not being put in
motion by the Senate, just like they have to go
through confirmation hearings. Why can't they be boll bag They
need to know that they can lose their jobs as well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
I agree completely, Matt, Thanks very much. I appreciate the
phone call, Mike Pete, you are up next. We need
your calls. Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA.
We have two lines taking two lines open. Eight five
zero two zero five WFLA. The Morning Show, Preston Scott

(01:03:32):
fighting through it. I'm a gamer, playing hurt. Moneymaker is
at its limit, So I need you eight five zero
two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five
ninety three fifty two. It's what's the Beef Friday? Mike,
thanks for being patient. What's the beef?

Speaker 11 (01:03:49):
Good morning, Preston. I have a beef with these television
stations that run the same commercial back to back sometimes yesterday,
I sat through one they ranted four times. Oh my gosh, right,
one right after another. It was one of those fat
shot commercials, and I'm seeing it happen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
All the time. Okay, let me ask you a question.

Speaker 11 (01:04:11):
To watch the same commercial four times?

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Yeah, it's not helping their messaging at all. But let
me ask you. Are you watching a streaming service or
is it a cable service or antenna service?

Speaker 12 (01:04:25):
Boat.

Speaker 11 (01:04:25):
I do Fubo and I have an intenna that I
get my local stations on, and it's happening on both
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Really wow.

Speaker 11 (01:04:34):
Yeah, it's like the same commercial over and over and
over throughout the whole segment.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Yeah, I'm not sure that really is helping the clients
sell their products.

Speaker 11 (01:04:45):
Now. In fact, now it's making me not by their product.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Thank you, Mike. I appreciate the call. Yeah, that's just
that's as it's like a broadcasting no. No, Now, there
are times that people will sandwich a spot. They'll run
a fifteen second ad and then they'll something else will run,
and then they'll run another one right on the other
side of that. That is a technique that some people

(01:05:10):
try to use. I don't know that it's all that useful.
But yeah, that though, what you're describing is just bad.
That's bad traffic inside the station or the network. Pete,
you are up, what's the beef?

Speaker 12 (01:05:23):
Good morning. I'm going to give you two quick good
beefs to help your voice. The first is the people's
intelligent and articulates Mark Levin, when they're going to utter
a quotation, say quote unquote and then utter the quotation.
No quotations all set. Quote precedes end, quote follows. People
know what quotation marks are, and please don't get me started.

(01:05:47):
When people raise both hands and two fingers and just
scratch the air for quote unquote, don't make me laugh. Yeah,
I asked Cynthia. If you don't agree, I'm sure you do.
I'm sure she understands it's all set. Not preceding. My
second quick beef is people leaving the Walmart parking lot.

(01:06:08):
For example, on West Tennessee Street at Capitol Circle, it
has two exits, an east exit and a west exit.
West exit is maybe fifty yards from the intersection. People
who want to turn left and go south on Capitol
Circle sit at the stop sign at that exit until
all three lanes are clear and they can shoot across

(01:06:30):
to the turn lane. They need to plan ahead. If
you're going to turn left. When you get to the light,
you go to the east exit, which is a half
mile and so you go right lane, center lane, left lane,
turn lane. Your legal obligation is to turn in the
closest lane going in your direction of travel. If you
sit at that stop sign until all three lanes are clear,

(01:06:53):
you've got five or ten cars backed up behind you.
People that just want to go to Quincy or want
to turn right and go north on Capitol Circle. People
exiting parking lots, please plan ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Thank you, sir, Well done. Jose's clapping, can you relate
to that? Is that? Have you seen him observe that
same thing? No? I was just so that was very
well said. Yeah, yeah, lines are open. Eight five zero
two zero five w f l A eight five zero
two zero five ninety three fifty two. We'll take more

(01:07:25):
of your calls when we come back. Lines are wide open.

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
I have things that I can complain about. I just
would rather not. My voice is shot and I've still
got the rest of the show to do, so toss
me a bone here, Come on eight five zero two
zero five w f l A. I am benevolent souls.

(01:08:08):
Thank you for calling in. We're leaving me of the burden.
Twenty one minutes after the hour, It's what's the Beef Friday,
final segment of therapy. Will see how many calls well
get in here Walter, good morning, welcome and what's the beef?

Speaker 13 (01:08:24):
Hey President, I'm an old guy. I learned right from
wrong long time ago. People are nuts about everything, but
I just want to pick on one thing. These boys
playing against the girls. Let's be honest about it. They're frauds,
they're liars, they're cheaters, they're thieves. They're liars because they're

(01:08:45):
not girl. They're cheaters because they're playing against the girls,
and they're thieves. They're taking their awards. And the people
that promote that they're the nuts. And I tell you,
back in my day, you know what happened. Those sissy
boys would have got beat up by the girl.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Don't disagree with you, Walter, Thank you. I am of
the opinion that the parents of kids that are allowed
to be like this are guilty of child abuse. Parents
that transition their children or feed this gender dys for you,
they are guilty of child abuse. They should be prosecuted.
Let's go to Jeffrey. How Jeffrey, you're up?

Speaker 9 (01:09:28):
PRESSA.

Speaker 14 (01:09:28):
I got a problem this morning. I'm telling you what
I like to get my eight hours sleep. My radio
came on this morning and one of these radio stations,
somebody was talking about bed mites and stuff like that.
I've been scratching. I had to get up, take my sheets,
everything stripped, my bed run out. I got my washer

(01:09:50):
and dryer outside my home in a little shed. Had
to do that this morning. I'm gonna be ornery all
day long and scratching an itching.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Can you believe it? Can you believe it? But here's
the thing. Your sheets are going to be nice and clean.

Speaker 14 (01:10:05):
I'll remember that person who was putting that broadcast on
when I get in those nice clean sheets this evening.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Okay, you got it, Jeffrey, Thank you. I appreciate it.
Well done, well done, slamming me. Good job. If you didn't,
if you didn't catch the first hour of the show,
yeah yeah you might, you might want to check it
out on the podcast. Let's see here, we've got Richard
standing by. Good morning, Richard, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 10 (01:10:32):
Oh, mister Scott, good morning morning, Hey, my uh, I
would just like to respond. A few weeks ago, a
couple of guys called ritching about FSU baseball preempting the
Mark Levine Show, and I'd just like to say, on
Tuesday evenings, I got a men's bobble study and on

(01:10:54):
the way in baseball game prehemps Mark Levine, and I'm
so happy, happy to hear it of baseball because I
guess so tired of that wind bag, Mark Levine. And
I hope that people will pay attention. We're at the postseason.
I'm really gonna miss the baseball seasons over.

Speaker 4 (01:11:13):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Thank you very much. I'll just leave that right there, Richard.
It's your complaint. You're entitled to it and to each
their own. Look, I we are the Florida State University
flagship set of stations, and so we cover their and
carry their sports, and we are grateful to do it.
We are happy to do it, and it just comes

(01:11:36):
with a little bit of an inconvenience at different times
of the year for those of you that like certain programming.
But thank you very much, I appreciate your call. Let's
go to Bud. Bud, you're up. What's the beef.

Speaker 15 (01:11:49):
Pro reston. I'm surviving. I think maybe the milad you
had for about the last four weeks, and I'm almost.

Speaker 12 (01:11:58):
About to get out of it.

Speaker 15 (01:12:00):
I hope you get too, pastor.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Boy, you've been you've been dealing with the crowd for
four weeks.

Speaker 15 (01:12:06):
Yes, h finally got My wife has also, so we've
both been. We're we're approaching, we're approaching, getting wet, I think, Man.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
I hope so, huh, I hope you are, because this
is I mean, it's just a cold. I don't have
anything worse than that, but it's miserable.

Speaker 15 (01:12:29):
Yeah, we we we've tested, we've got even taken by it.
But I think you have just been a cold or
or an allergy of some sort. But if my sons
don't catch it, the people around us don't catch it,
we've just got it. So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
What it is.

Speaker 15 (01:12:49):
But I want to touch on something. I call about
the railroad tracks on throw one time sometime back. But
I got another one. The trees and bushes that are
built right next to the road all the way up
to the intersection where you can't see the income with
homecoming cars. I have something in my neighborhood and you

(01:13:09):
have to get You have to put your nose to
your vehicle halfway out in the road before you see.
If there's anything come, you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Got to call the Citta County and have them trimming back.

Speaker 15 (01:13:18):
They'll do it, but yeah, because yeah, it's between the
five walks in the road.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Yep, yep, that's the right way and they will have
to take care of that bud. Thank you, brother, hope
you feel better. We got one more caller here. It's Rutledge. Rutledge,
good morning, Hey.

Speaker 16 (01:13:34):
Good morning, Preston. I hope your voice gets better soon.
Ending the much needed restless and I teach you to
technical college where my students leave out of twenty months
and make ninety thousand dollars a year. I have some
of them that really desperately struggle with marijuana usage. I
don't understand, and it aggravates me that we have normalized
drug usage so much. I can't even drive down the

(01:13:57):
road without almost getting high following the car behind me. Yep,
that's my beef. And the hardest things my students struggle
with is getting back to a normal place where they
don't need marijuana in their life.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Thank you, rut Lets appreciate that. Yeah, it's it's going
to be a disaster if this state decides to legalize
recreational weed. It has no business being in the state constitution.
It is a public health disaster waiting. It's a train
wreck to all of you weed smokers out there, and

(01:14:33):
I know you're out there because you email me every
time I talk about this. I just I'll end with
George Carlin's famous joke, I've been smoking weed twenty years,
I'm not hooked. Yeah, it's addictive and it is a
gateway twenty eight minutes after the hour that I'll fire
you up for next week when we come back the

(01:14:53):
best and worst, good news, dad, joke, headlines from the
b and more on The Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
Scott Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred
point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
We've come to that point in the broadcast off on Monday,
back on Tuesday where we are pushing away from the
news and we share our best and worst of the week. Jose,
you're up all right?

Speaker 17 (01:15:36):
Yeah, mine's that has a little bit to do with
some news, but I just love stories like this. In Texas,
there was some construction going on for a road and
they found a gigantic prehistoric creature uh in there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
So that's that's pretty pretty neat. You love things like.

Speaker 17 (01:15:54):
That, just like finding something cool, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Historically, that's your best of the week.

Speaker 17 (01:16:00):
Yeah, that's the best of the week. And the worst
is a Florida woman, not a Florida man, but a
woman this time is was charged with attacking a seventy
two year old woman for we're in a maga hat.
It's like, we're still doing this people, come.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
On, unbelieve, grow up? Yeah, really please, You're gonna get
upset because someone thinks differently than you and we're gonna
assault them. You're gonna pick on the wrong seventy year
old one day, and it's gonna be ugly, and you're
gonna be the butt of all kinds of jokes because
it's gonna get recorded that you got your butt whipped
by an old person. My worst of the week is

(01:16:39):
real simple. You're listening to it. Spring colds suck spring
and summer colds are terrible. Hate them, hate them. And
it's been awful. But I've shown up to work every
day and yeah, but I hate it. So that's my

(01:17:02):
worst of the week is being sick. Okay, my best
of the week is friend of the radio program, Mark
or Rubio making the rounds as Senate subcommittees brilliant.

Speaker 18 (01:17:14):
Even with the reforms we put in place on what
we're suggesting is changes to our foreign aid, we still
will provide more foreign aid, more humanitarian support than the
next ten countries combined, then the entire OECD, and far
more than China. China doesn't do humanitarian aid. China is
predatory lending. That's what Belton Rode initiative is. That's what
all of their aid to have no zero record of

(01:17:36):
doing humanitarian aid in the world, and frankly, they don't
know how to do it, they have no interest in doing.
And what they're very good at is going into some country,
making you alone and then holding that debt over your head.
And that's what they continue doing. By the way, you
have to hire a Chinese company to do it. So
I don't agree with this assessment that there's no evidence
whatsoever that China has either the capacity or the will

(01:17:57):
to replace the US and humanitarian assistance and food deliveries,
or in developmental assistance for that matter. We provide development assistance,
they provide debt traps.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Now there's a second encounter though, that was just breathtaking.

Speaker 19 (01:18:13):
I have to tell you directly and personally that I
regret voting for you for Secretary of State, Chris, I respond.

Speaker 18 (01:18:21):
You may well, first of all, your regret for voting
for me confirms I'm doing a good job based on
what I'm that's.

Speaker 19 (01:18:26):
Just direc clipping Statementary, And I respond, mister Chairman, you
me I didn't have to please let the secretary. I'd
be happy to, but then I can respond to his
your timesop Senator and willfully used. I might add, well,
your remindsmen to not represent the view of this committee.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Well, mister Secretary Police, well.

Speaker 18 (01:18:43):
I'd like to. I can't respond to everything he said
because much of these are untrue, but i'll go through
a few. First of all, I'm actually very proud of
the work we've done with USAID. For example, I don't
regret cutting ten million dollars for male circumcisions in Mozambique.
I don't know how that makes a stronger and more
prosperous as a nation. They had the psychosocial support services.

Speaker 19 (01:19:01):
I raised the Senator, i'd ask you to suspend you
had seven straight minutes. I chose to use my time
that way, mister chairman, that's my right to please suspend
that way, Secretary Rubia.

Speaker 18 (01:19:15):
Well, I can go on. I mean, there's other things here.
We spent two hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars for
Big Cat's YouTube channel from USA, I d we spent
fourteen million dollars for Social Cohesion and mally whatever the
hell that means. So I can go on and on.
I got the list here, and there's more that I
didn't even bring the whole list. In the case of
El Salvador. Absolutely absolutely we deported gang members, gang members,

(01:19:36):
including the one that you had a margarita with, and
that guy is a human trafficker, and that guy is
a gangbanger and that and the evidence is going to
be clear in the days that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
I'm Rubio has the floor, Chairman.

Speaker 19 (01:19:49):
He can't make unsubstantiated like that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
I love that Rubio undressed him. He undressed him and
spanked him in front of God and every I told
you there is nobody more prepared on policy anywhere in
the Senate than that guy. And he's now the Secretary

(01:20:15):
of State and he's taking ownership of issues of the
State Department, as he did when he took ownership of
issues in the US Senate, as he did when he
took issue took control of issues in the Florida House.
He is a policy nerd to the core, and he
will own anybody that tries to make him look foolish.

(01:20:37):
And that's my best of the week. Forty one minutes
past the.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Hour The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio

Juten forty seven. She began her college journey nearly thirty

(01:21:53):
years ago, but she postponed her studies when she had
a baby. Right out of high school. She immediately went
to work to provide for her new family. She is
a mother of five. She decided it was time to

(01:22:16):
finish what she had wanted to start, which was to
get her degree, so she enrolled at Tennessee Tech University.
She graduated MAGA magna cum laude. Didn't stop there, though,

(01:22:38):
because something made that journey just a little bit more challenging.
You see, between when she had her child to now,
Miss Juten has gone blind, and so with her, with

(01:23:00):
her guide dog, Colonel with her, and with a couple
of other students helping her navigate up these steps and
letting her know when it was time to shake some hands,
she got herself a degree and now maybe pursuing her doctorate.

(01:23:25):
She said, you still have time, You still have the
same hopes and dreams, all of those things that you
wanted to do before you were blind. You still want
to do those things. So let's find a way to
do that. And so she is determined to persevere and

(01:23:46):
she has. And I guess that story stood out to
me because I just think, to myself, what's hindering you?
Are you facing that challenge or is it a self
imposed challenge? Push past it, achieve. When you do, you'll

(01:24:16):

Show one on WFLA that was so bad and so
pathetic it couldn't be resurrected by some quality headlines.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
My delivery was so lacking. I got nothing. I'm not
feeling terrible. I just sounded and it's getting to my head.
I will admit not hearing very well because my ears
are so plugged has has hurt me today. Can't believe

(01:27:35):
where I've got the headphone level cranked and and some
of the phone calls they were so tiny it hurt
my ears, so I had to turn it way way back,
which then I have to force my voice to make
me sound like I can hear myself. It's just it's

(01:29:06):
as school choice remains in effect, and I can take
my tax dollars and send the child to a school
