Speaker 1 (00:16):
Okay, it is good to be with you. Thursday here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's ose, I'm
Preston a little bit of a different show today because
of my visit yesterday with former US Speaker Nuke Gingrich.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
It was well, I'll explain a little bit later.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't want to get sidetracked here, but I'm going
to I've made the decision to allow each hour of
the show because I do recognize that we do have
some people that you can't listen to the whole thing
and you're not going to go back. So we're going
to air the interview in each hour. It's just just

(00:55):
about six minutes a little under, but we'll share that
this hour, second hour, and third hour, so we'll have
it for you and I think you'll just find it interesting.
His perspective on Donald Trump. It's good visit, as brief
as it was. We're gonna start with scripture. Proverbs three,

(01:19):
five and six says trust in the Lord with all
your heart. That's very familiar, trust in the Lord with
all your heart. Right, I mean, yeah, but we hear

(01:39):
those words and they sound really good, But do you.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
The writer.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Explains what it means to trust in the Lord with
all of your heart. Do not lean on your own
understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him. Now before we
get to the the ending of these verses, Trusting God

(02:21):
with all of your heart means running your life choices
and the situations you find yourself in through the filter
of that relationship and not relying on your own understanding.

(02:45):
Notice relying do not lean on your own understanding. You
certainly have to think through things. But are you relying
on your own on your own thinking or are you
relying on what you learn in your growth and understanding

(03:08):
of God? What's running the show? It says, do not
lean on your own understanding, and in all your ways
acknowledge him.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, so what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Acknowledging like I you know, you're just walking through you
waving no no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
What you do, what I do?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
What we do collectively all throughout the day, in all
of our ways? Do you are you acknowledging him? It
goes back to that classical thought. Character is what you
do when no one's looking in all your ways acknowledge him.

(03:59):
How you conduct yourself, what you do and how you
do it should reflect him. Being numero uno in your life,
in all your ways, acknowledge him.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's not just some shallow tip of the cap. Good
morning God.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's your decision making, your attitudes, your actions, your words,
reflecting God.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And then this and He will make straight your paths.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Walking a straight line is the shortest way between two points,
just saying.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
You wander or you can walk a straight path. It's
up to you. Ten Past the Hours, The Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
M a d radio network where we challenge you to
make a difference in your world in a positive way,
improving the lives of others.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
All right.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go twenty ninth of May.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
My how time flies. It's crazy. Let's take a peek here.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
In seventeen sixty five, Patrick Henry attacks the Stamp Act
in Virginia's House of Burgess, saying, if this be treason,
make the most of it. Well done, Sir Patrick Henry
had a gift.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Give me Liberty'll give me that.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Seventeen ninety, Rhode Island becomes the last of the thirteen
original states to ratify the Constitution. Eighteen forty eight, Wisconsin
becomes the thirtieth state eighteen forty eight. Thirty states already
and Wisconsin becomes one of them. Nineteen seventeen.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
John F.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Kennedy thirty fifth US President born in Brookline, Massachusetts. So
there you go, this state in history. Take a look
at the twenty ninth National Day of It's National five
twenty nine day College Savings Plan. Why bother when you're

(07:10):
going to have the taxpayers pay your bill? Never mind
National paper Clip Day.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It's all we got. That's it.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I mean, there are a couple other random things, but
it's like, really, so that's all we have.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Let me tell you about what happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I I had nine am to nine oh nine scheduled
with Newt Gingridge. Now, the way these things tend to
work is these are pulled together by Premiere the Speaker's Bureau,
and Premiere is a wing of iHeart, and we get

(07:55):
hooked up with some pretty big names. And so we're
supposed to have new Gingridge for eight to nine minutes,
which I can make work brilliantly. But I am one
of those rare hosts that respects the calendar. I'm not
saying that to pat myself on the back. I'm saying

(08:18):
that to point out that most of the people in
our industry are jerks, and they're rude, and they're self serving,
and so I know, going in, the odds of me
getting him at nine o'clock are just.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Slim. And so nine oh one hits nothing, nine oh
two hits nothing. Keep in mind, now every.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Minute that goes by, I'm not extending it another minute
because he's got another hit at at nine to ten.
So to get him off in time to be on
time for the next I'm considering the next guy.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So I'm on.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Them on the phone with the guy coordinating all this,
and I just said to him, look, it will just cancel.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
He said, now, let's let's give him a couple more minutes.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
He's probably finishing up another thing, and and it's like, dude,
I'm left with virtually no time now here he is, here,
he is, and then there's nothing but echo and feedback.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
So we finally get it dialed in.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I get just about five minutes with him, and I
honored my pledge. I said to the guy who's in
charge of this for a premiere, I said, look, I'm
going to have him out on time. But I just
want it noted I'm the only guy that does this.
I'm the only one because the rest of your people
are rude and self serving, and it's really annoying to

(09:57):
be the only guy that plays by the rules. But
I'm gonna play by the rules. I want you to
know that he will be done at nine o nine,
and he was done at nine o nine, in time
for him to be on time for his next interview.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
I say that to say I did not get.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
The amount of time I really wanted with him, so
I made the best of it, and it's really a
one segment interview, which I abhor. I hate him. I
hate him. I don't care who the big name is.
The only exception I would make might be the President.

(10:38):
If the President gave me five minutes, I'd take it.
But anybody else I tell them and have for twenty
three years. No, don't bother. So I just wanted you
to know why I'm going to air it three times
this morning. Because it's a short, short segment. You hear

(10:59):
every thing. I mean, it's all there. It is, and
it was interesting because nuke Ingridge is a fascinating dude.
That's why I really regret that I didn't get more
time with it. But take what I get, in this case,
making lemonade out of lemons. But I just wanted you

(11:20):
to hear a little bit of the backstory. Seventeen minutes
past the hour, come back. It's alone, two weeks away.
More on our list, next alone, Season twelve begins in
two weeks. I can't wait two weeks from today. And

(11:45):
so Jose and I have been going through our ten items.
Everybody on the show survival experts one level or another.
They all have a list of things they get, and
then they have to choose ten items from a list
broken down into shelter and bedding and hygiene tools, hunting, cooking, food.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's it. You get ten items total out of that list.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And we've been going through our list here, and so
what's left on your list?

Speaker 5 (12:21):
So I believe I have two pounds of pemmican under
the food, Yes, under food, two pounds of pemmican, and
twenty five assorted barbed hooks no bigger than size seven,
No lures.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Now, for those of you that don't know, pemmican is kind.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Of like trail mix.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
It's it's just Jose wants to make sure with his
group and his ten items, that he's got something to
munch on.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Something right while we're fishing and hunting for anything that moves.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I have and remind everybody real quickly, what's on your list?
So far?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
So so far?

Speaker 5 (13:03):
I have, let's see, a twelve x twelve ground cloth
or tarp, a sleeping pad, forty millimeter roll of dental floss,
one hunting knife, an led flashlight, three hundred yards of
a single filament fishing line, twenty five assorted barbed hooks,

(13:24):
two pounds of pemmican, and one flint.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Or farroh rod. Yeah you want a firestarter? Yeah, yeah,
you don't want to work hard on that, No, sir,
I've got the tarp. I went with fifteen and eighty
linear feet of bank line. Bank line has a little
bit of a tar on it, which allows it to
cinch on itself.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's really good for fastening.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
It doesn't have quite the strength, but at that length
I can triple it up if I really need.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
To hold something up. I went with a wool blanket.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
So those are three items right there at the tarp,
the bank line, and the wool blanket. Three items my tools.
I went with one leather man. I went with one
hatchet and one saw. I went with three items because
I wanted to make sure that I could cut down

(14:19):
wood efficiently and easily, and I could split it up
with that hatchet. I thought about a shovel, but I
decided I can make a shovel with wood in the area.
I can create as much as possible myself. It'll help

(14:42):
pass time. Plus it gets me what I need. So
for digging, I've just figured I'm gonna take wood and
I'm I'm I'm gonna get make firewood and all that,
but I'm gonna make my own shovels my hunting stuff.
I went with three hundred yards of single filament fish line.
I went with the twenty five hooks. I went with

(15:04):
one large pot. I don't need a frying pan and
a pot. I can do both in a pot. I
can also boil water in a pot. I can do
everything that I need to do in a pot. I
can cook stews in a pot. I can fry food
in a pot. I I can do whatever I want.
And then I got my flint and ferro rods. So
that's my ten. If you've never considered what would you

(15:30):
take with you. There's just so much you can carry.
You're carrying camera gear, you're your own videographer. You got
the batteries, you got the emergency stuff. They give you
this large list of things that you can bring, Like
you can bring a photo, but you can only bring
one photo. You can't bring a collage of several photos

(15:53):
one photo. There's just certain things you can bring. You
can bring a toothbrush, but if you want to bring toothpaste,
that's one of your items. So my toothbrush is in
the you know, everyone gets one of those lists. I'm
going to use charcoal from the fire and I'm gonna
brush my teeth with charcoal. And so I've I love

(16:19):
this show and I think it's a great mental exercise.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, remember alone. Check it
out at history dot com, slash alone.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Sensey of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's The
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
My visit would do gig Rich in just a few
but first the big stories in the press box. I've
decided to kind of make sure I hit the big
stories every hour, but I'm going to share the interview
with niut Gingrich about forty minutes past each hour. Federal
court has rejected President Trump's authority to impose worldwide tariffs.

(17:15):
The US Court of International Trade has said that Congress
has the authority the exclusive powers to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts,
and excises, and to regulate commerce with foreign nations, not
the president. The president's operating on what they believe is
an emergency basis. The court, which is made up of

(17:37):
the three judges who ruled, one was appointed by Reagan,
one by Obama, and one by Trump. They ruled unanimously
that Trump does not have the authority to do what
he's done, and so you can expect this to be appealed,
but I don't know that he'll win. What this does
is this points again to Congress. Congress has to act,

(18:02):
and the fact that we are in this spot then
reflects poorly on Congress and previous presidents for not pointing
out the I mean, how do you not know? How
does budget and finance in Congress not know that we
are just upside Of course they know we're upside down

(18:23):
in trade. So one story the rehab of those involved
with the CDC, the FDA COVID continues, this time the
former director Robert Redfield. He was standing next to Anthony
Fauci telling everybody what to do. He's now out there

(18:44):
saying that vaccine makers should be sued. He believes vaccine
manufacturers should be subject to class action lawsuits because he
believes that at least twenty percent of patient it's got
COVID from the vaccines. Do not forget. He was standing

(19:10):
in lockstep with all of the actions taken. Dylan mulvaney.
He's the dude that got bud Light hammered in the
market by by suggesting that he's a woman. So bud

(19:30):
Light put his face pretending to be a woman. It's
not a trans woman. We need to banish that. He's
a dude. He's a pretender. Okay, He's no more a
woman than than than you.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
And I are.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
He's he's a and I'm looking at Jose when I
say that he is. He's a Halloween caricature. He's pretending
that's what he is. He's not a woman, he never
will be. He's now rep presenting a Jean Paul Gautier
new women's perfume. He's the face of it. Divine is

(20:10):
the name of the perfume. He traveled to Morocco to
shoot the advertising campaign. So once again, a woman has
been pushed out of an exclusively woman's space, women's perfume,
A dude is representing a women's perfume. And then lastly,
this is heartwarming a team Salpolo University, Brazil. There are

(20:36):
at least three asteroids that are kind of hooked in
with Venus that circle the Sun and their trajectory. Their
path could shift in such a way that three of
these things could hit Earth with us having two to

(20:56):
four weeks of notice. That's it, because they're coming out
of a blind spot. They're blocked by the Sun's glare.
We wouldn't see him coming. Projected impact would leave a
crater more than two miles wide, estimated to generate one
million times more energy than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

(21:20):
There you go, forty minutes past the hour.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Just same. That's the news. Hers are the big stories.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Listening to the Mad Radio Network, you are challenged to
make a difference each and every day.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Would you do that for us?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Please?

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Please, just a little, just try it, would you? This
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'm want to.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Share with Preston Scott. Were I to read his entire resume,
it would take way too long. He is chairman of
Gingridge three sixty, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
He is the ark of the Contract with America. He's
also author of a new book, Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback.

(22:08):
He is Newt Gingrich. Mister Speaker, thank you for joining
me this morning. You are not prone to hyperboles, sir.
Greatest Comeback?

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Well, I think we were on the edge of a
total disaster, that between Obama and Biden, we had moved
so far towards gigantic deficits, so far towards radical lifestyle,
so far towards bureaucracies that just don't work, that I
think put in a few more years like that, we
would have been in real trouble. And I think the

(22:39):
American people under center that that's why will it's Trump's triumph.
It's actually the American people who made the comeback. And
you could tell that because they were for him against Biden,
they were for him against Harris. He carried all seven
of the key states. He got a two and a
half million vote majority, which were a publican is very difficult,

(23:02):
and as a result, I think it's fair to say
that it was a combined victory for the American people
and for Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
When Donald Trump came down the escalator in twenty fifteen,
what were your thoughts.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
I thought he was a very interesting guy. Kliston and
I had had breakfast with him back in February or
fifteen and talked about what presidential campaigns are like, because
I'd run in twelve. But I didn't at that point
think that he was anything like the phenomenon that he'd become.
I mean, I knew he had a good business background.
I knew he'd done The Apprentice for thirteen years on NBC,

(23:38):
but I just didn't realize, you know, when he kind
of down the escalator. Jeff Bush was clearly the front
runner to be the nominee. He'd raised the most money.
He had both a father and a brother who were president,
so he had name id at a nationwide organization, and
to watch Trump just take him apart, so that literally

(24:00):
by the time they got to the Hampshire primary, Jeb
had just faded. And then Jeb was a very good
reform governor of Florida, so watching that happen, I began
to think, you know, there's something going on here that
we don't understand. But I didn't realize how extraordinary Trump
was going to be until I watched the campaign that

(24:23):
fall and realized he understood where the base of working
Americans was in a way that no modern Republican had
probably not back since Theodore roosevelm. And he understood how
to talk to them in a language that made sense
to them. And he was prepared to take on the
old order and the establishment and the swamp and Washington

(24:45):
in ways that of course, the New York Times and
the Washington Posts were.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Enraged by those of you just tuning in. You know
the voice knew Gingrich.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
He's author of a book, Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest comeback.
Do you think in retrospect winning in twenty twenty though
a lot of us have doubts even about making that statement,
is it a blessing in disguise? Do you have a
better version of Trump with that four year break?

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Well, you know, ironically, historians will record that liberals having
rigged the election. I think that that's totally true. You
can argue aout whether I was told on election no
question that was rigged may have in fact done themselves
an enormous disaster because he had four years to think
about it. He had four years to get angrier and
understand better how deeply corrupt the system was. He had

(25:34):
four years with the American First Policy Institute, which I
worked with to develop an enormous program of change. And
the person who came in but I want to say this,
at two levels, he both had a much deeper and
better understanding of what he was doing. He knew all
the world leaders. He was determined to really change things.
But in addition, I think having almost been killed really

(25:59):
changed him, both when he was shot in Butler and
then when they told him that they had intercepted the
potential assassin at marl Argo. And I talked to speaker
Mike Johnson, who was there that day, and he said
after they briefed Trump there had now been two attempts
to kill him, that he and Johnson went into a

(26:19):
private room and prayed for two hours. And I think
that the Trump we see today really, and he says
this occasionally, it really does feel that there was a
providential moment at Butler where if he had turned his head.
One second later he would have been dead. Now that
sort of thing focuses you. It happened with both the

(26:41):
President Reagan and Pope John Paul the Second. Both of
them were shot by assassins, and when they got together
they compared notes un why did God spare them? And
in their time they concluded it was to defeat the
Soviet Empire. I think Trump really came to believe that
God had allowed him to live to make America great again.
And I think that gives him a maturity and a

(27:05):
complexity that people really haven't caught up with yet.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Mister Speaker, time is fleeting, and I appreciate you carving
some out for us this morning, and I wish you
nothing but the best in your book.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
Well, thank you, And I was really thrilled to be
able to write Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, and I
think people will find it very very helpful in understanding
where we are.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, New Gingrich.
The book is Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
More to come on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(27:53):
Hope you enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
If you know people that would like to listen to
our visit with new gingridg just had a little power surge.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
You're in the building. Okay, we will.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Air that again next hour at the same time, and
again an hour number three.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
But my thanks to.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
The former House speaker for carving out a little bit
of time. This story was fascinating to me. Have you
ever heard of rokor r coo R. It stands for
Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia. It's interesting because the headline

(28:35):
says young American men flock to Texas based Russian Orthodox
Church to increase their manliness. One of the priests of
this church is a father, Moses McPherson, a former roofer Georgetown, Texas.

(29:01):
Speaking to this media outlet, he said they've had seventy
five converts for baptism at his Church of the Mother
of God, which is a ro Corps parish outside Austin.
He said there's a disillusionment with mainstream Christianity. What he

(29:22):
describes is the feminization of American worship, particularly seen in
evangelical megachurches. He said, I don't want to go to
services that feel like a trailor swift concert. If you
look at the language of the worship music. It's all emotion,
that's not men. And they put videos up and sometimes

(29:47):
merge their theology with weightlifting, and.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, you know there's some truths here.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
He abhors men ironing and eating soup, and of course
I take great issue with that.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
And and this.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Is where you just have to be careful.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Am I thrilled that young men are gravitating towards some
liturgy and God's word. Absolutely, that's great. And there's certainly
a lot of room for the body of Christ in
the big ten of God's Church. But just remember that
God's Church, however big the ten is, has an arrow
path into it. And I think that even inside of

(30:48):
this there are some red flags to be mindful of.
If you read the Psalms, you'd read a lot of emotion.
If you read the words of the disciples that watch

(31:11):
Jesus die, you'd read a lot of emotion. I think
there's a danger there. As for the soup and the weightlifting, well,
i'll let you be the judge of that. I had
a good laugh on it. But anyway, when we come back,
it's the second hour. Steve Stewart will join me next

(31:31):
see if he's off the sick bench, five.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Minutes past the hour.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
It's second hour here of the morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's Thursday on the radio program, and he is back.
He's off the sick bench. He is Steve Stewart. How
are you good?

Speaker 7 (31:55):
Good?

Speaker 4 (31:56):
You know hey? When I don't show him here, you
know I'm sick. Well, yeah, I was going to say,
you didn't even phone it in. It was so so
you had to be really bad.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Well, I made everybody suffer, and misery loves company, so
I was hoping you'd at least join me in the
suffering on the phone. But look, you've got a a
it's a meaty story. It is, I think, a difficult
story to unpack. But I know one thing gets everybody's attention.
There's a proposal to raise fire service fees by nearly

(32:24):
twenty five percent, and that gets people's attention.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yeah, this is a very interesting topic and for a
lot of different reasons. But the first and foremost is that,
look the fire service fee, which was you know, fire
services are paid for out of a fee used to
be in your property taxes. But this is one of
the moves they make to so they can say that
you keep the taxes low. And so when they did that,
the county, the city runs the fire Services fund. They

(32:49):
send out the fire trucks, and what the county does
instead of having their unincorporated area, instead of having a
separate fire department, they contract with the city. Sure, so
the city, you know, has this fund, and what they do,
supposedly every five years, is they do a rate study
and say, look, this is what the rates need to
be to keep moving forward, keep everybody happy, and they

(33:09):
send a bill to the county, and the county pays,
you know, collects their fees and they send it to
the city and they run the firefund. Well, the last
five year assessment was done in twenty twenty three, and
so you would think that, well, we wouldn't see another
rate increase until twenty twenty eight. However, there are a
number of things that have happened since the twenty twenty

(33:30):
three assessment was put into play that has caused them
to say, hey, look we need more money twenty two
percent more to make sure that the fire services fund
is stable and balanced. Well, there are a number of
things that they're driving us. First of all, if you remember,
Ellyon County school Board is not paying their million dollars
a year and fire services fee and that's a separate

(33:52):
whole debate. However, it's a hole in the fire service
fee fund. The other thing is that the negotiating I
ask why why is it a hole? Unless there's a
fire at a school, why is that a hole? No,
it's a hole because the money was coming. They were
writing a check to the city and so now that
money's not coming, that money's not coming in, so that

(34:12):
is a They haven't collected money from Lei County school
Board for a couple of years. Okay, they were collecting it,
so they were collecting, yes, okay, okay, so that's a hole.
Then you remember the very political negotiations with the firefighters
and labor contract, so they gave them more money that
was not in the twenty twenty three assessment. So that

(34:33):
is an extra cost. And so they are costs that
have piled up. They redid some debt service, they're building
a new fire station to new fire stations, and as
you know, with inflation, construction costs have almost doubled with
those fire stations. So they're what they called their cost
that were not contemplated. So they have come in and
done a new race study before the five years was up,

(34:57):
and they've decided, you know, determined that, look, we need
twenty two percent more money. The interesting thing here, now,
if it wasn't for the county, they would just do
this and citizens would show up and complain individually. Okay,
But now they've got to send this to the county,
which represents about probably thirty thousand, you know, fire service

(35:17):
fee customers, and they're like, wait a minute, we got
to represent these guns with twenty two percent is a
pretty big increase. So they're providing some accountability. And so
what they've done is they've gone through the they meaning
the county, the staff, has gone through the request for
more money, and they see some of these issues are
legit that they viewers legit. There were county commissions that

(35:39):
wanted fire fires to get a raise, a bigger raise. Sure,
so you're arguing for that, and now, well here's the bill.
But there is there's an eight and a half million
dollar cost for increasing a insurance rating, getting a better
insurance rating, which may result in lower insurance rates for
citizenstive on the benefit of this, but it requires hiring

(36:03):
like twenty six new firefighters. And so the County's like, look,
this wasn't contemplated in twenty twenty three, and all of
a sudden, you know, you're saying we need this new rating.
We don't think that that is something that we support.
So what they did is they took a vote basically
a negotiation. They made a counter offer, taking out the
eight and a half million dollars, which is about I

(36:24):
think is about thirty percent of the total increase, and
they're sending it back to the city and then the
city's going to have to decide to accept it or not.
Three commissioners voted against that proposal.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Why did they vote against it. I watched the.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Debate, and they voted against it because I think they
wanted more cut cuts in the fee, and I think
they are again, I think they're more frustrated with the
process and how little the city dealt with them on this.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
So it wasn't because they didn't think there should be pushback.
It's that they felt that the pushback wasn't enough, exactly,
all right, More to come ten Pasted the Hour with
Steve Stewart of Tellassi Reports, the website Reports dot Com.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott subscribe get the paper.
Tellassioreports dot Com executive editor Steve Stewart with me and
little addendum to the fire service discussion. First, on the
Tiles Reports dot Com article, you can see the uncontemplated expenses.
We've detailed what they are, so you can go look

(37:28):
at that. The second thing is they've sent it over
to the city. The city has a city commissioning June
in the eleventh and they're gonna have to decide if
they accept the quote counteroffer. If not, then this kicks
into some kind of mediation process which will get really messy.
So it will be interesting to see what happens on that.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
All right, there was an interesting story that I picked
up on that you had on the census and that
Leon County is lagging well behind much of Florida in growth.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Yeah, and this could be good news or bad news,
depend on what side of the issue you're on. But
I think we're the only ones that wrote about this.
The Census Bureau came out with their population estimates over
a four year period for all kinds of counties, cities, states,
and so what we did is downloaded the county day
to sixty seven counties and put it in a chart

(38:18):
and looked at the growth rate in Florida over the
four year period from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four.
It was eight and a half percent growth and population.
And so then you get that distributed across the sixty
seven counties. Leon County came in at two point eight percent.
We added eight thousand people from two hundred ninety two
thousand to three hundred thousand. The growth rate of two

(38:39):
point eight percent was like ranked fifty six out of
sixty seven counties. So a couple of things here, I would.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Love to know how many of those counties it didn't
grow or blue versus Red.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Well, there's not a lot of blue counties in Florida,
I understand that. Well, So Gadson County, which is a
Blue county zero point eight seven eight percent growth, so
very little growth. But on the Leon County two point
eight percent. And you know, this is important for people
just to understand the facts and the contexts and the narrative.
Eight and a half percent growth in Florida. The fastest

(39:13):
growing county Saint John's, which is about the size of
Leon County, twenty two percent, okay, And then you got
Leon County at two point eight percent, Gainesville four point nine.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Saint John's put some context on that. That's the home
of Saint Augustine.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Right right, Saint Austine and Pontavidre south of Jacksonville, the
whole which interesting area. Jacksonville, Deval County, the counties around
Deval County are growing almost both are double. Clay County
is west, Saint John's the south. I've been over there
quite a bit. The construction is amazing in terms of
people are fleeing Duval County and the number of high

(39:50):
schools being and these are families. I mean, Saint John's
I think is the fastest growing Republican county in the state.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Yeah, So but here in Leon County, you you hear
a lot of the rhetoric that you know, again, a
lot of people run for office. They take, you know,
they take very little kernels of truth and blow it up.
They take examples of building a wah wah and Thomasville
Road as being urban sprawl and uncontrolled growth. The facts

(40:17):
are just the opposite. And you know, I think if
you go and look at Bay County, which is Panama,
say fourteen percent growth. Okay, so when you look at
things like that, and you say, wait a minute, do
we really have a growth problem here? And you know
this again, I was thinking about the different implications of
this growth rate. So you know, we've heard a lot

(40:37):
of complaints about fairs at the airport, right well, Bay County,
you can move there and have lower lower fares because
why because the area, yeah, optism retirement. And so I think, again,
this is something to put in context. Now you look
at the MSA area which includes Wacola and Jefferson and
Gatson County, and everybody talks about the growth in those areas.

(40:59):
We'll color grew in nine point nine percent, but still
the size of a Color county. You know, they grew
to thirty seven thousand people compared to three hundred thousand
in Leon County. So there are more obviously a fascior
growth rate in Wakula County. But this area is again
for a lot of different reasons, is not growing at
a real high rate, and could be because it's a

(41:21):
blue county, you know, But anyway, I think this is
an interesting number to understand. When you start hearing these
debates about growth, what would.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Your hunch be on the makeup of the community and
who likes the fact that we're not growing, and who doesn't.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
You know, there's a famous city manager the one time
I remember talking about growth and she said, she said,
you know what makes you think people want growth here?
And I'll never forget that.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Man.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
This has been twelve thirteen years ago, and I think
there's a very big contingent of people that move here
for that reason. And hey, you know we benefit from
some of that. Okay, there you go.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
I would add that not growing population wise also explains
growing in a lot of other areas that might benefit
the community.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Sixteen passed the hour More to Come with Steve Stewart.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Steve Stewart with me, Hey, talk about talk about just.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Get on the same page.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
It's really kind of interesting how the census story ties
nicely into where we wanted to go, and that is
to talk about the affordable housing because affordable housing is
one of those terms that we have heard for decades
and no one has a definition.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Well, I think again the good segue from the population growth.
When you start hearing the politics and it's been really quiet,
it'll get back jen back up, you know, in the
next six months or so. But you hear about the
you know, urban sprawl, uncontrollable growth, and you hear affordable housing. Well,
we have, you know, such a need for affordable housing

(43:01):
and affordable housing is it a different income strata? You know,
you know, it depends on where you are. What is
affordable not but they talk about low income affordable housing.
We start looking at that growth rate of two point
eight percent. Well that's over four years. Now, that's not
a year, that's over four years. So has our needs
really changed that much?

Speaker 7 (43:19):
What?

Speaker 4 (43:19):
You a lot of this A lot of times when
you hear the term, you can't really get your hands
around it. It's sort of like jello. Well, we have
a project that the county and the city have sort
of partnered with a private sector to build. It's called
Ridge Road Flats two hundred and fifty quote affordable housing units.
And the way this one was done is.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Are they townhouses? Are they single family home?

Speaker 4 (43:39):
And goes no, this is an apartment complex one bedroom
to I think three bedroom. And the way this one
was done is through a federal program which offers income
tax and centives for private sector companies to build to
build these apartment complexes, they get a tax break, but
they have to offer residents that they have to track

(44:03):
them at income levels. For example, one person has that
you can't have an income of over thirty two thousand
dollars to qualify to rent in this complex, and the
rent for a one bedroom is like nine hundred and
seventy nine dollars. Now, you know, I'm not in the
apartment or the rental business, so that that sounds pretty low,
I guess so. And they have a very good description

(44:26):
of the different income levels. So this compared to Section
eight housing, whereas if you're a you know, we owned
an apartment complex, we would we would contract with the
federal government to offer lower rents in the in the
federal government would give us money to do that. So
that's Section eight housing. This is a little different. But
now we can see we can actually get our hands around, right,
two hundred and fifty apartments. So who's going to move

(44:48):
in here? You know, who's going to take advantage of this?
Is this going to be families? Is this going to
be you know, individuals. I think it'll be interesting. In
six months you'll get an idea of what where's the development.
It's on the south side of town Ridge Road, which
is down southn row, I think to the west and so.
But this is both leon Kany and the city taking

(45:08):
credit for this. They did some of the bond financing.
I'm not sure exactly how much of the money comes
from the city in the county because it is a
federal tax break, you know. But the again, I think
the politicians who screamed the need for affordable housing, we'll
see how successful this is. Again, this is there's a
couple of different types. Section eight. This is the what

(45:30):
they call the Low Income Tax Incentive Program. And then
you have the Tallahassee Housing Authority, which are actually build
government run low income affordable housing. So we have a
little bit of everything here in the community. The question
is it's sort of like the Children's Services Council trying
to evaluate, all right, we have a thousand people that

(45:51):
need affordable housing, and here here's what we have for them, right,
or we need to build more. You just don't. You
just don't see numbers like that. It just seems to
be this and I think, uh, you know, some politicians,
some local leaders are becoming aware of that and are like,
wait a minute, what are we doing here? You know,
where is this money going? Is this really a problem.
So I think this project will start to get an

(46:12):
idea how much of a problem it is. Do they
have a timeline on when they expect this to be completed? Yeah, no,
it's it's completed. So it's done.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
It's done.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
There are people it is. If you go on and
people are moving in part, well they're I think there's
I would assume so. But if you go to apartments
dot com, it's up there. They're advertising rates for one, two,
three bedrooms. Uh, they're talking about it being affordable housing.
So this will be again a very interesting case study
of how this type of affordable housing. Again, you know,

(46:42):
the company that build it is not it's not a
local company. It's and obviously the incentive is for these
private sector companies to companies to be able to make money. Sure,
you know. And so there are a lot of things
that I like about it. If it's a if it's
a need, it's not.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
I just wonder where the people are going to come
from that move in there. They're going to then create
vacancies in other places.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Pressing you hit on something that I've always said, is
it is you know, we have three hundred thousand people here.
People are living somewhere. There's very few people that don't
have a place to live. So to your point, exactly
where the person that moves in there, where were they
living before?

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Right?

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Could be with their parents? Who knows? Well, you know
that it being new, it's going to be the shiny
new place to live and people love to move into
a place like that, and that would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
But what's left behind exactly?

Speaker 4 (47:34):
And I think this will be six months in you'll
be able to go back and maybe look at that
and figure out where did these people come from? Is
it serving families or is it just serving single people
or you know that could have paid you know, is
it feasible for it to be student housing? I don't
know that that that's allowed from the uh that'd be
That's an interesting question. I'll follow up on that this

(47:55):
new student housing bill. Have you been on Gain Street?

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Well, I mean if you looked at what's going on
up by Child's High School, you know, I mean there's
there's building going on all over the place.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Yeah, a lot to talk about low growth. Where are
they coming from?

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Thanks for the time, Thank you, Preston. Steve Stewart with
us twenty eight minutes past the hour. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
All right, let me.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Quickly go through the big stories in the press box
and then set up what follows. Federal court rejecting the
unbound authority to impose worldwide terriffs by President Trump. They
said no, So the tariff stuff is as of right
now ended.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Now how that all works? You got me?

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Does Trump have time to appeal keep things in place?
It doesn't look like it will he appeal, probably so,
But this goes back to its likely it is. It
would seem that it falls under the authority of Congress.
Now we know President Trump is trying to force issues,
and he's trying to force Trump or force Congress to
deal with certain things, and I would imagine this falls

(49:23):
into that category. But for right now, three judges ruled unanimously,
one a Reagan appointed judge, another an Obama appointed judge,
and the third a Trump appointed judge, have ruled against him.
There's a lot of uncertainty right now. It'll be interesting
to see what the markets do, because the markets hate uncertainty.

(49:43):
Former CDC director Robert Redfield said that he thinks twenty
percent of patients he treats for long, COVID actually never
got it. Instead, they got the virus from the vaccine,
and he believes that vaccine manufacturers should be subject to
class action lawsuits. I'm laughing because this is a guy

(50:04):
who was leading the charge on all of this stuff,
along with Anthony Fauci, who standing right next to him,
over and over again. It is the rehabilitation tour. That's
what's underway right now. Dylan mulvaney, the dude, is now
making another mockery of women, not just by pretending to

(50:24):
be one, but now he is the lead marketer for
Jean Paul Gaultier's new women's perfume Divine. They've hired Dylan mulvany.
Let me tell you, you're going to really make a lot
of You're gonna you are gonna sell a lot of
women's perfume to the trainees out there. That's a huge market,
don't you think. Don't you think there are a lot

(50:46):
of men out there pretending to be women that are
going to be first in line to buy this perfume.
What in the world are you thinking marketing with a
I mean, they've just what they've just done is they've
just sent a signal to women, you have nothing. You've
got nothing. We're going to hire a man to sell
women's perfume by pretending to be a woman. And then

(51:12):
three different asteroids are getting the attention of at least
a international research team at sell Polo University. They are
shrouded by the Sun. They circle Venus and they say
that any little bump in the trajectory caused by gravitational

(51:34):
changes or forces could lead to a collision course with
Terra firma planet Earth, and would have a one million
times more energy than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima
nineteen forty five. And the real clincher here is that
it only you'd only have two to three weeks notice

(51:55):
because it's coming out of the sun. The glare of
the sun. Couldn't see it coming interesting, huh to say
the least forty minutes after the hour, come back my
interview with Nuke Gingrich here on The Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
You mayor of Reelville dispensing information at the speed of sound,
and if you're lucky, he'll be wearing his Clark Kent
glasses Today The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Were I to read his entire resume, it would take
way too long. He is chairman of Gingridge three sixty,
former Speaker of the House of Representatives. He is the
architect of the Contract with America. He's also author of
a new book, Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback. He is

(52:52):
Nuke Gingrich. Mister Speaker, thank you for joining me this morning.
You are not prone to hyperboles, sir, greatest come well.

Speaker 6 (53:01):
I think we were on the edge of a total disaster,
that between Obama and Biden, we had moved so far
towards gigantic deficits, so far towards radical lifestyle, so far
towards bureaucracies that just don't work, that I think put
in a few more years like that, we would have
been in real trouble. And I think the American people

(53:23):
under center that that's why, well, it's Trump's triumph. It's
actually the American people who made the comeback. And you
could tell that because they were for him against Biden,
they were for him against Harris. He carried all seven
of the key states. He got a two and a
half million vote majority, which were Republican. Is very difficult,

(53:45):
and as a result, I think it's fair to say
that it was a combined victory for the American people
and for Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (53:52):

Speaker 6 (53:58):
I thought he was a very interesting guy. Kliston and
I had had breakfast with him back in February fifteen
and talked about what presidential campaigns are like because I'd
gone in twelve. But I didn't at that point think
that he was anything like the phenomenon that he's become.
I mean, I knew he had a good business background.

(54:21):
but I just didn't realize, you know, when he came
down the escalator. Jeb Bush was clearly the front runner
to be the nominee. He'd raised the most money. He
had both a father and a brother who were president,
so he had name idea at a nationwide organization, and
to watch Trump just take him apart, so that literally

(54:43):
by the time they got to the New Hampshire primary,
Jeb had just faded. And then Jeb was a very
good reform governor of Florida, So watching that happen. I
began to think, you know, there's something going on here
that we don't understand. But I didn't realize how extraordinary
Trump was going to be until I watched the campaign

(55:06):
that fall and realized he understood where the base of
working Americans was in a way that no modern Republican
had probably not back since Theodore roosevelm And he understood
how to talk to them in a language that made
sense to them. And he was prepared to take on
the old order and the establishment and the swamp and

(55:27):
Washington in ways that of course, the New York Times
and the Washington Posts were.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Enraged by those of you just tuning in.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
You know, the voice knew Gingrich.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
He's author of a book, Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest comeback.
Do you think in retrospect not winning in twenty twenty,
though a lot of us have doubts even about making
that statement, is it a blessing in disguise? Do we
have a better version of Trump with that four year break?

Speaker 6 (55:53):
Well? You know, ironically, historians will record that liberals having
rigged the election. I think that that's totally true. You
arguing about when I was told on election Day no
question it was rigged. May have in fact done themselves
an enormous disaster because he had four years to think
about it. He had four years to get angrier and
understand better how deeply corrupt the system was. He had

(56:17):
four years with the American First Policy Institute, which I
worked with to develop an enormous program of change. And
the person who came in but don want to say
this at two levels. He both had a much deeper
and better understanding of what he was doing. He knew
all the world leaders. He was determined to really change things.
But in addition, I think having almost been killed really

(56:42):
changed him, both when he was shot in Butler and
then when they told him that they had intercepted the
potential assassin Admiral Argo. And I talked to Speaker of
Mike Johnson, who was there that day, and he said,
after they briefed Trump that had now been too attempts
to kill him, that he and Johnson went into a

(57:02):
private room and prayed for two hours. And I think
that the Trump we see today really, and he says
this occasionally, it really does feel that there was a
providential moment at Butler where if he had turned his
head one second later he would have been dead. Now
that sort of thing focuses you. It happened with both

(57:24):
the President Reagan and Pope John Paul the Second. Both
of them were shot by assassins, and when they got
together they compared notes on un why did God spare them?
And in their time they concluded it was to defeat
the Soviet Empire. I think Trump really came to believe
that God had allowed him to live to make America
great again. And I think that gives him a maturity

(57:48):
and a complexity that people really haven't caught up with yet.

Speaker 4 (57:52):

Speaker 6 (57:58):
Well, thank you, And I was really thrilled to be
able to write Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, and I
think people will find it very, very helpful in understanding
where we are.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives and New Gingrich.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
More to come on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Fifty two minutes past road Trip Idea on the road
again here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
This is a Florida roadie. Head down to Homestead, Florida
and check out the Coral Castle.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
But listen to me before you do it. You've got
to listen to Haunted Cosmos and an episode that deals
almost exclud lusively, if not two episodes with Edward Leedscalman.

(59:06):
This is the dude that built it, because to this
day there are things inside that castle that you will
see that there is no explanation for how it was done.
The dude made this stuff, did this stuff, and claims

(59:30):
that he had developed the ability to switch off gravity.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
And one of.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
The examples or proofs that some list is the twenty
five ton obelisk that's inside how to get there. He
did all this stuff in early nineteen hundreds with technolo

(01:00:04):
and worked by himself exclusively. And the Coral Castle is
a place the dude is a lot viaan immigrant who
may or may not have been fleeing the authorities for
killing some police officers during the upheaval in the Baltic

(01:00:24):
area of the time. Remember this was when the last
czar was transitioning. I mean it was a time of
incredible tumult. But the Coral Castle is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Is phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
And it's worth seeing, absolutely, So make the drive to
Homestead and check out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
The Coral Castle. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
That's my road trip suggestion. I'm going to try to
come up with ideas for you that you can take
advantage of if you are in our prime listening area
and make drives out of the Panama City, Tallahassee, Big Bend, Panhandle,
regions of North Floridas to South Georgia and extend from there.

(01:01:19):
So that's where we'll be going for the next few
weeks as we get into the summer. I just time
won't give me a lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
It here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
But according to the WNBA, we've investigated the report of
racist fan behavior in the vicinity of the court during
the game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever
based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans,
team arena staff, as well as audio and video review.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
Of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
We've not substantiated it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Angel Reese, the remarkably arrogant young lady that played for
LA and now plays for the Chicago Sky, claims to
be a rival of Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
She's no rival.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
She's an okay basketball player who can rebound really well,
but beyond that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
She has very average skills.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
But she claimed that she was being racially taunted and attacked.
Funny how they can't verify one word of it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Isn't that interesting?

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Once again, no one there heard anything, no recording of anything,
no audio, no video, no nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
I wrote in my rundown.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
Uh huh, uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Might talk about that with Jerome Hudson. He's gonna join
us next for our monthly visit here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott, And here we go, third and

(01:03:09):
final hour at least for today the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Grant Allen in for me tomorrow and Monday.
I will be doing a speech tomorrow I will be
delivering remarks. But great to be with you today, Jose
over there in Studio one A. I am here in
Studio one B, and I am joined on the phone
line by our friend. He is Jerome Hudson. He's the
author of the Fifty Things books as well as entertainment

(01:03:32):
editor for Breitbart dot Com. Hello, my friend, how are you?

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
Oh? I'm terrific, just trying to figure out where this
magnificent speech is going down at.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
I cannot say on the air at this point in
time is a private gathering, but I will share with
you in the break. Hey, we were just talking before
the top of the hour about the w n b
A doing a little investigation of the claim of angel Reese,

(01:04:05):
who I find to be a remarkably arrogant, average talented
young lady that has a massive problem with Caitlin Clark
and her popularity, but that she claimed that she was
being racially attacked, verbally assaulted at a game in Indiana.

(01:04:28):
But the w NBA, after a thorough investigation interviews, video, audio,
found no corroboration.

Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Stunning.

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Well, but but is it?

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
Well, I don't know, I I have It's been a
couple of years since I've attended an NBA game, and
I mean you hear just about everything, uh paniply for
joratives if you will. And but the the w n
b A not being able to find evidence of it.

(01:05:04):
I thought that was interesting because usually when a player
certainly a star, which regardless of what you think of
Angelisi as a star, and the w n b A
is huh, I agree, Yeah, yeah, Usually when a start
makes a complaint. And you see this more often than
the NBA, the league, the ownership. Wherever the game is played,

(01:05:29):
it's a they it's all hands on deck, and usually
they identify the culprit. They're either band for life or
reprimanded in some other way. I so that was interesting
to me. I love this because Caitlin Clark. I think
he is certainly sort of the nexus, the spark if

(01:05:51):
you will, that lit this fire of just basically NonStop
w n B A talk like the w NBA has
been around for decades, but it's never been in the
culturalite guys like this. I love thee I love I
love it for commerce. I think Jacksonville is getting a
w NBA team in a couple of years, like, which

(01:06:13):
is a sentence. I've only been here almost a decade.
I know people who've lived in this town for forever,
and that sentence is just unfathomable. And so but but
I love the Angel Reese, Uh, Caitlin Clark a few
because it does date back to college, you know what

(01:06:34):
I mean? In that sense, it's sort of uh, magic
bird if you will. But no, I mean, Andrew Reese
is nice, but but she's she just doesn't have the
skill set of Caitlin Clark, and I love that the
media coverage for the both of them is different. I
I don't appreciate the racial aspect of it being put in,

(01:06:55):
but I don't and that's what.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
I wanted to I wanted to drill into that point
for a second, and we'll do that. We've got to
take a break here, but I want to do that. Jerome,
I want to ask if this story needs to get
more coverage for just that reason, the fact that the
claim was made and it has not been corroborated. We're
gonna touch on that next. Jerome Hudson with me always

(01:07:20):
a fun conversation. We have no idea what we're talking
about until we just start talking, because that's what friends do.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
They just start talking and so we'll continue talking. Next
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. No bicycles here, just Jerome

(01:07:49):
Hudson and.

Speaker 5 (01:07:52):
Me.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Jerome, I remember back number of years ago because I
would spend time talking about the claims of racism that
were unfounded. And this goes back to Duke Lacrosse, right,
I mean, this goes back and they are these constant
accusations made, and frequently, too frequently they're found to be

(01:08:20):
made up or if not, if if that perpetrated by
the very people claiming to be racially attacked. And I've
always believed that it denigrates the true racism that needs
to be called out wherever and whenever it exists. So
is there a responsibility on the part of the media

(01:08:40):
to cover the fact that this claim was made and
there is nothing to it?

Speaker 7 (01:08:47):
Oh, that the media coverage should be equal right to
the thorough investigation Again yep. And I don't know if
I seen any conspiracy theories around this. You know, all
of the w NBA's just trying to cover it up
because they want to protect Kitlan Clark and make Angel

(01:09:10):
Rees look like the boogeyman. It is that again, I
haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's probably out there.
It is completely nonsynsical. The w n b A again
is on a meteoric rise, I mean the arrow or
the Q score, the commerce, it's all going straight up.
And again, Ada Reese is a star. Like she's on podcasts,

(01:09:33):
she's on runways. The w n b A. It is
in the w NBA's interest to protect its assets.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
Well, it's about time the NBA made some money off
of it, because they've been bankrolling this as a I mean,
it's been a loss leader since it started. It hasn't
made any money, and it's showing signs of making some.

Speaker 7 (01:09:52):
I'm just I laugh because there are a lot of nameless,
faceless like sort of non celebrity billionaires who've just who've
just I mean, they would have they would have gotten
more out of just burning the millions of dollars that
they've thrown at this league. But no, it's it's an
absolute just just there's nothing. I mean, I just for

(01:10:14):
the reasons that she pointed out, like just talking racism
or looking for it behind every tree and under every
rock just does us no good as a society rit large.
And the fact that this, like she claimed that racial
epithets were her old at her, makes it a race story,

(01:10:38):
which I just it just it's just gross to me, right, Like,
I don't even really feel comfortable talking about it, because finally,
the league has so much more to offer, right. I
say this as a person who fell in love with
women's basketball. It wasn't pro level, but watching the the
f s U women's girls team play We're Rocking Circle

(01:11:00):
two thousand and eight, nine to ten.

Speaker 6 (01:11:03):
You know, here's here's my thing.

Speaker 7 (01:11:06):
President, Like, I was showing up to see the boys play,
right because.

Speaker 8 (01:11:10):
They were kind of on a run those years, but
getting to the games, getting to the men's games before
they started, the women were playing, and it just felt
like a completely different sport almost, to see the women
compete like that.

Speaker 7 (01:11:25):
And so I love, you know, for for for deeper reasons,
to see the w NBA thrive. I just hate that
it sort of has this weird specter over it because
I know people want to see the feud singing Clark
and read and Rees, but the racial stuff just well,

(01:11:47):
some want.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
To see the feud. I just want them to just
play basketball and for the w n b A and
for some of these girls to realize that the rising
tide of the w n b A is due to
Caitlin Clark and they should be grateful and accepting and
then compete like crazy to beat her.

Speaker 7 (01:12:09):
Yeah no, we we we don't. We don't deserve nice things.
I think is the is a long running beam. It's
like one of the longest means out there, you know,
or what is it. Don't let a gift horse in
the mouth. We get we we have these true talents

(01:12:30):
that come from around every now and then, and for
a lot of reasons. I mean, sports is just different, right,
Like I mean, you just it's inherently tribal, I guess,
And so I don't have a dog in the race,
which is why, like I'm I think I'm coming at
it from the same place you're coming at it. Yeah,
this is just we should just enjoy this, this greatness, I.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Agree or not, right, I just want to be embraced
in the NBA where I've got a shot at making
a team.

Speaker 7 (01:13:02):
So Alexander Marlow, the brettbart News Entertainment editor in chief,
he wants like a d one basketball team Preston to
just put a bunch of dudes in wigs and just
just run the table. There you go, in the in
the women's college champions I just want, basically, I.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Just want fair representation in all sports of white old males.
Hang on a second, Jerome sixteen seventeen past the hour,

(01:13:45):
twenty two past the hour, Jerome Hudson, Breitbart dot Com
entertainment editor.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
We never ever have enough time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
The only chance we're going to ever have enough time
is if you just come back into town and we
just sit in the studio and talk yes, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:14:03):
Which will happen certainly, God will.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
Will you say that to all the talk show hosts?
I think, actually, uh, see, your your phone broke.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
Your phone broke down right then when I said that,
And so I didn't catch what you said because I
don't think God wanted you to say that.

Speaker 7 (01:14:23):
Well it was it true. I just remember to have
a standing date on Tuesday morning with the with the
Liz Calii show out in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and
they've been trying to get me in person to do
a show, and.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
So so you just backhandedly told me you're seeing another
talk show host.

Speaker 7 (01:14:45):
Well, oh my goodness, I did two day edit Thursday
and Friday last week. Man, it's been so long.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Just stab me, buddy, Just go ahead and take out them,
Just drive it in and twist it. Hey, let me
ask you this, Yeah, how is it possible that Jean
Paul Gautier m HM hires a dude to sell women's perfume?

(01:15:15):
And we're not talking about a guy dressed as a
man who's who's walking through a room and tries to
discern what is that scent?

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Right, we're talking about someone pretending to be a woman.
How is this possible? How is it that women are
not just fuming at this?

Speaker 7 (01:15:37):
I think there is that. I think there's a part
of society. I've had questions with countless women and the
responses vary. Right, there's confusion because if you're a woman
in you know, a lot of them are millennials, right,
so like born basically mid eighties. This is this You're

(01:15:59):
still processing this because you know, a transgender person was
sort of a thing that comedians joked about or they
played them on TV. Jamie Fox On and Living Color,
Martin Lawrence on his shows. You know, uh, what's his name? Witherspoon,

(01:16:22):
the comedian back to the sixties and seventies, you know,
like cross dressing was was it? It was like transvestite
was a person who really took it seriously. And so
this is still a phenomenon newly to just normal regular
women out there. But for for industry, for corporations, this
is a big money grab. I mean, to be transgender,

(01:16:42):
to be a transgender model, which John Paul Gautier hired.
It's a cottage industry and it's I can't believe I'm
about to say this, but it's a growth market. No
and no, I don't want it to be true, but
you have to face facts like there there's a two

(01:17:03):
section of society.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
But who is going to buy this perfume for a
woman sold by a man?

Speaker 7 (01:17:11):
That's that's not the question that I think these high
powered attorneys and accountants and pr flax are asking press
and I think they're asking who won't buy this this
this perfume? Who would have otherwise bought it anyway if
we if we hired I don't know Serena Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Did they not?

Speaker 4 (01:17:30):
Did they not? Look at what happened to bud Light? Okay,
your phone's breaking up again?

Speaker 7 (01:17:38):
Uh oh, I'm just gonna there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
You're clear now?

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
Oh well, I'm gonna I'm going to go to speakerphone.
That doesn't sound like speakerphone.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Now I understand that bud Light is it? I mean,
we're talking about reaching out to men versus women, right, and.

Speaker 7 (01:17:53):
It's a completely different product. Right, it's a it's American college.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Rush be here, but it's a do selling a women's
perfume by pretending to be a woman.

Speaker 7 (01:18:04):
So Dylan mulvaney is maybe a part of this campaign.
It's unclear. I haven't really completely dug into it with
my OGAI RESEARCHERR Brain, but Dylan mulvaney has at least
attached himself to Geen Guiltierra and this perfume. But I'm just,

(01:18:27):
I'm just I'm just telling you right like most of
the people listening to us right now don't get it,
they don't understand it. But what I'm telling you is
that major corporations have run the numbers and it is advantageous.
Levi's just rolled out their Pride Month gene set like

(01:18:48):
I have.

Speaker 4 (01:18:49):
I've had this thing.

Speaker 7 (01:18:50):
We have two editors calls every day at break part
and I've just when I talk about the Pride stuff
and the LGBTQ pregnant man emoji stuff, I preface it
by saying I have some Pride Month every month content,
because that is That's just the way I look at it.
No one listening to me has to see it that way.

(01:19:12):
But I'm sort of always on news nos entertainment editor,
and so I'm either always looking for this stuff or
it's always finding me. And it's Pride Month every month.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
Yeah, whatever, whatever, get on board, baby. No, No, I
will not get on board. I will never ever, in fact,
in fact, I will go. I will go so far
as to say I can promise you. Those letters are
in are in the Book of Revelation. Just saying, all right, buddy,

(01:19:46):
love you pal, thanks for the time.

Speaker 7 (01:19:48):
I love you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Jerome Hudson was this morning on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. All Right, big stories in the press box
before we get to the interview with the new Gingrich,
which I have shared in each hour, and I'll explain

(01:20:10):
a little bit more about that in a moment.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Three city killing asteroids could soon strike Earth. That's what
the headline says. I've just read the headline.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
Study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics last week.
It's sell Polo University team at least three asteroids twenty twenty,
SB five, twenty four five two and two two cl
one circle the Sun in an arrangement with Venus which
conceals them, and they have unstable orbits which could cause

(01:20:48):
a problem and leave us with only two to four
weeks to try to spot them before they hit. You
ever seen the movie Deep Impact, Just be thinking that
that's all I'm saying, only with no time, virtually no time.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
I don't know what you do. I don't know. God knows,
he's not telling he's got plan.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
Though, Federal court rejecting President Trump's authority to impose worldwide tariffs.
It is the US Court of International Trade. Judge said, no.
Judge is three of them a Reagan, Obama and Trump
appointed judges unanimously said no, the president doesn't have this authority.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
It's Congress can't say I'm shocked.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
We talked about Dylan mulvaney landing another deal, making a
mockery of women representing a perfume company, a dude pretending
to be a woman as one of the models for
a perfume company.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Whatever I were.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Redfield, former director of the CDC, says now that vaccine
manufacturers should be libel for lawsuits. Huh funny, funny what
it looks like now in rearview when he was standing
side by side with Anthony Fauci during the whole thing anyway,
quick little setup. I was supposed to have nine minutes

(01:22:22):
with Nuke Gingrich, but due to things that had nothing
to do with me, but everything to do with me,
it's about five minutes and some change. I got him late,
but I let him go on time so that I
didn't cause a chain reaction all the way down to
anyone else who had booked him, and so I was polite.

(01:22:46):
I kept my interview within the time constraints, even though
I did not get him at the front end at
the time was promised. So I apologize that it's not
a little bit more content, but it was an exceptionally
good five minutes. And I abhor five minute interviews. I
turned them down routinely. All I can give is five minutes. Well, sorry,

(01:23:09):
that's not worth it to me. I mean, I routinely
turned down five minute interviews. I just have no interest
in them. But in this case, it was nothing I
could do about it. So I've done the best I
could with those five minutes. At least, the email seemed
to indicate that the interview was well worth the five minutes.
So you tell me that's next here in the Morning

(01:23:31):
Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Were I

(01:23:51):
to read his entire resume, it would take way too long.
He is chairman of Gingridge three sixty former Speaker of
the House of Representatives. He is the architect of the
Contract with America. He's also author of a new book,
Trump's Triumph America's Greatest Comeback. He is Newt Gingrich. Mister Speaker,

(01:24:13):
thank you for joining me this morning. You are not
prone to hyperbole, sir. Greatest comeback?

Speaker 6 (01:24:20):
Well, I think we were on the edge of a
total disaster, that between Obama and Biden, we had moved
so far towards gigantic deficits, so far towards radical lifestyle,
so far towards bureaucracies that just don't work, that I
think wou put in a few more years like that,
we would have been in real trouble. And I think

(01:24:42):
the American people under center that that's why, while it's
Trump's triumph, it's actually the American people who made the comeback.
And you could tell that because they were for him
against Biden, they were for him against Harris. He carried
all seven of the key states. He got a a
two and a half million vote majority, which for Republican

(01:25:03):
is very difficult, and as a result, I think it's
fair to say that it was a combined victory for
the American people and for Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):

Speaker 6 (01:25:18):
I thought he was a very interesting guy, kliston. I
had had breakfast with him back in February or fifteen
and talked about what presidential campaigns are like because I'd
run in twelve. But I didn't at that point think
that he was anything like the phenomenon that he's become.
I mean, I knew he had had a good business background.

(01:25:41):
but I just didn't realize, you know, when he came
down the escalator. Jeff Bush was clearly the front runner
to be the nominee. He'd raised the most money. He
had both a father and a brother who were president,
so he had name idea at a nationwide organization, and
to watch Trump just take him a part so that

(01:26:02):
literally by the time they got to the New Hampshire primary,
Jeb had just faded. And then Jeb was a very
good reform governor of Florida. So watching that happen, I
began to think, you know, there's something going on here
that we don't understand, But I didn't realize how extraordinary
Trump was going to be until I watched the campaign

(01:26:25):
that fall and realized he understood where the base of
working Americans was in a way that no modern Republican
had probably not back since Theodore Roosevelt. And he understood
how to talk to them in a language that made
sense to them. And he was prepared to take on
the old order and the establishment, and the swamp and

(01:26:47):
Washington in ways that of course, the New York Times
and the Washington Posts.

Speaker 4 (01:26:50):
Were enraged by those of you just tuning in.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
You know, the voice knew Gingrich.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
He's author of a book, Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback.
Do you think, in retrospect not winning in twenty twenty
though a lot of us have doubts even about making
that statement, is it a blessing in disguise? Do you
we have a better version of Trump with that four
year break?

Speaker 6 (01:27:13):
Well, you know, ironically, historians will record that liberals having
rigged the election. I think that that's totally true. Unargu
when I was told on election, but no question it
was rigged. May have in fact done themselves an enormous
disaster because he had four years to think about it.
He had four years to get angrier and understand better

(01:27:34):
how deeply corrupt the system was. He had four years
with the American First Policy Institute, which I worked with
to develop an enormous program of change. And the person
who came in but I want to say this, at
two levels, he both had a much deeper and better
understanding of what he was doing. He knew all the
world leaders. He was determined to really change things. But

(01:27:56):
in addition, I think almost been killed really changed him,
both when he was shot in Butler and then when
they told him that they had intercepted the potential assassin
at marl Argo. And I talked to Speaker of Mike Johnson,
who was there that day, and he said, after they

(01:28:17):
briefed Trump there had now been two attempts to kill him,
that he and Johnson went into a private room and
prayed for two hours. And I think that the Trump
we see today really, and he says this occasionally, it
really does feel that there was a providential moment at
Butler where if he had turned his head one second later,

(01:28:39):
he would have been dead. Now that sort of thing
focuses you. It happened with both the President Reagan and
Pope John Paul the Second. Both of them were shot
by assassins, and when they got together they compared notes
on unwhy did God spare them? And in their time
they concluded it was to defeat the Soviet Empire. I
think Trump really came to believe that God had allowed

(01:29:02):
him to live to make America great again. And I
think that gives him a maturity and a complexity that
people really haven't caught up with yet.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Well, thank you. I was really thrilled to be able
to write Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, and I think
people will find it very, very helpful in understanding where
we are.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives and New Gingrich.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
More to come on the Morning Show with them, probably
back Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
Grant Allen will be in tomorrow and Monday with Jose. Yesterday,
I had the most random thought. I was getting some
gas and I noticed at the gas station this ant

(01:30:05):
on my bumper. Not wanting to have that ant get
into the back of my vehicle and wander around and
just be a pest. I flicked him and he went
onto the cement and wandered off. But I got me thinking, well,

(01:30:27):
what happens now to that guy?

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
All right? Follow me here?

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
Ants are these incredibly organized things that are parts of colonies, right,
So somehow this guy ends up on my car. My
guess is from wherever I was previously hitched a ride.
Now he's miles away from wherever he's originally from. So

(01:31:00):
I started wondering, Okay, so does that Does this guy
now just join in with other ants?

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
Do they welcome him? Is he an outcast? Does he
have to earn his way?

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
What happens if there are no other Because he wasn't
a fire ant he was he was just a normal
ant and not a carpenter ant either.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
I know those.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
I mean I'll be I'll be honest with you. A
fire ant, he'd have been dead, no tolerance for fires.
But it got me wondering, what about this guy? What
happens to him now? Moving forward? I don't have the answer.

Speaker 4 (01:31:42):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and air. It's the
morning show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
On w FLA.

Speaker 1 (01:31:50):
If you know, if you are a and termologist, and
I know that's not really a thing, just sounded funny.
If you happen to know what happens to a rogue ant,
send me an email.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
I am.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
I am absolutely going to read that and I will
share if it's if I can, if I can validate
whatever it is your claim. And you say, well, how
would you know, Well, because I'll look up whatever you say.
I'm not going to go looking it up right now
because I whatever. But if you happen to know, I
will give you the glory. If you want to write

(01:32:31):
me and tell me what happens to that rogue ant.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
What happens.

Speaker 1 (01:32:39):
I don't know, but I and and why I spent
time thinking about that. All I can tell you it
lodged enough into my brain where I remembered it when
I got home. I did not write it down until

(01:33:00):
I was putting my show together, and I wrote at
the end of the show about ants. It was lodged
in my brain. I can't explain why, it just was.
Today we had Steve Stewart on the program. Jerome Hudson
joined me, and I guess you could say nuke Ingridge

(01:33:21):
by way of an interview we did yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Hope you enjoyed that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
It will be on the Conversations podcast as well as
the Morning Show podcast. But that well, anyway, tomorrow Grant
Allen Jose, can you see holding down the fort for
two shows while I'm taking just a little time away
giving a speech tomorrow and then I'll.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
Be back, not going out of town. I'm just well anyway,
God bless
