Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Six minutes after the hour Here on the Morning Show,
Jose's hat is off, headphones are on. We are ready
to rock and roll. Welcome to Friday, May thirtieth. Here
on the Morning Show, I'm Grant allan producer emeritus and
occasional fill in here on the Morning Show, filling in
for Preston today. Preston's taking the time off. He's taking

(00:32):
some time off on Monday, and so you get to
enjoy spend some time with me as we break down
the news as we head into the summer months. And
it's fun because this is kind of like a I
come in and do this every now and then, and
it's like I have months and months of reading and

(00:54):
information built up in my head and I get to
just let it all out. This is like my outlet
to be able to get all of my hot takes
and get all of the news that's been bubbling up
in my system out into the airwaves. Oh but today's
gonna be fun. And that song by the way, Onward
Christian Soldiers. I remember singing that one when I was young,

(01:15):
singing that one now from Tennessee. Ernie Ford. That's a
that's a name. I'm sure you may not have heard
in a while, but Onward Christian Soldiers definitely, definitely a favorite.
Today's verse of the day comes from the Psalms, particularly
Psalm fifty six, verse four. In God, I will praise

(01:40):
his word. In God I have put my trust. I
will not fear what flesh can do unto me. One
of the things that I think is really beneficial is
not just memorizing scripture verses, of course, but singing the

(02:01):
psalms as they are psalms like that, that's what they mean,
they are songs. Singing the psalms is one of the
best ways in which you can like memorize them, you know,
with your family, with your wife and kids, singing around,
sitting around the dinner table after supper, in the living room, whatever.

(02:25):
There are so many good recordings of singing the psalms
on YouTube with lyrics that go along with it that
it's never made it easier. And there are classic tunes
that you'd recognize that have been used in all sorts
of hymnals and a psalters throughout the years. And so
that would be my encouragement is not, of course I'll

(02:47):
comment on the passage itself, but that would be My
recommendation is not just not just memorizing the psalms, but
when the trials of life happen, and this is where
specifically commenting on the Scripture verse itself, when the trials
of life happened, something's going to come out of you.

(03:09):
You know, you're in an emergency and you're driving to
the hospital with a loved one and you need to
start singing a song. What's gonna come out of your mouth?
And God gave us one hundred and fifty songs to sing,
sing literally in the pages of the Scriptures himself itself,
So that would be my encouragement. It's something we like

(03:31):
to do. And we started to memorize through song some
of the psalms in the Scriptures. But ten minutes after
the hour, we got a long show ahead, lots to cover.
I'm Grant Alan in for Preston here on the Morning Show.

(04:02):
This day in history here on the Morning Show. Now
on Monday, we commemorated and remembered Memorial Day. But according
to Americans the American Patriots Almanac here on Preston's desk,
today is actually the day when the first Memorial Day

(04:25):
was observed widely. So it while the calendar in our
calendar here in the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty
five may have commemorated Memorial Day on Monday. I guess
they think that, you know, the calendar here in the
book itself, you know, probably thinks that you know, May

(04:46):
thirtieth or May thirty first is Memorial Day. But no,
we had an early Memorial Day this year. But May
thirtieth was the first time that Memorial Day was commemorated.
Also in this day in history, in the year fifteen
thirty nine, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto lands in Florida.

(05:10):
Kind of a big day for us. Fifteen thirty nine,
give it what years, We got fourteen more years and
that's five hundred. Yeah, yeah, we'll in twenty thirty nine,
in fourteen more years, will be five hundred years of
Desoto's landing in Florida. So that's pretty cool. We'll be

(05:31):
alive to see that. That'll be a cool I'm sure Florida,
the state will probably do some sort of like five
hundred commemoration around those types of events, right, and that'd
be pretty cool. On this day in eighteen oh six,
in Kentucky, Andrew Jackson, I'm gonna be talking about him
later kills lawyer Charles Dickinson and a duel for allegedly

(05:53):
insulting Jackson's wife land men with honor. What a day now,
that's it's a Andrew Jackson was obviously a hot headed
kind of figure. He was. He had quite the streak

(06:14):
in him and when he would get fired up about
something like this. This happened, you know, and he had
to deal with public scrutiny because his wife, I believe
her name was Rachel. She had been married previously and
there was like some sort of contested thing of the
divorce being final versus not final, and yet he married

(06:36):
her anyway. He had to deal with some public scrutiny
at that time. And I do wonder if this is
it might be related to this, because Jackson's wife was
previously married to another man. She was not happy with
the marriage. She left, but technically the legal proceedings hadn't

(06:58):
been done. It was something something in that vein. It
got confusing, and then Andrew Jackson gets in a duel.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
What a guy.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Goodness gracious again. Eighteen sixty eight. Memorial Day is widely
observed for the first time in eighteen ninety six in
New York City, the first recorded car accident occurs when
a motor wagon collides with the bicycle. On this day
in nineteen eleven, Ray Heron Hern Sorry, don't know how

(07:29):
to say his name. When's the first Indianapolis five hundred.
That's cool. I've always thought that was one of the
cool Memorial Day weekend traditions. I love watching. It's the
only time I ever watch an open wheel race. But
it's the Indy five hundred. And in this day in
nineteen twenty two, Lincoln Memorial is dedicated in Washington, DC.
And on this day in nineteen fifty eight, the unidentified

(07:52):
soldiers killed in the Second World War and the Korean
War are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
So that.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Good bout of history for today. We've got a lot
coming up next. I'm going to talk about so many
different news stories. There's so many things that I want
to cover. Specifically, We're six months after the election, right,
it's May. The election was in November. We're six months
after the election, and the Democrats are still floundering unlike

(08:27):
anything we've seen before, and they have no vision, they
have no way forward. And I'm going to break it
down because there was a great piece in the New
York Times, but that is coming up next twenty one,

(08:56):
almost twenty two minutes after the hour Here on the
Morning Show, I'm Grant Allen feeling in for Preston, and
I teased it in the last segment, this piece from
the New York Times, that I said it to myself.
Now it's been out for five days, so if you've
heard this before, forgive me. But I filed it away

(09:19):
a few days ago because I knew that I wanted
to offer my thoughts on this because it's so good,
and I didn't think that it was gonna It's not
gonna fall out of date. You know, from then to
now in five days. There are some news stories that
are very timely, and they, you know, within twelve to

(09:41):
twenty four hours almost instantly become old news. But this
was not one of them. This was in the New
York Times. The headline is six months later, Democrats are
still searching for the path forward and this is such
a great read. See Six months after President Trump swept

(10:02):
the battleground states, the Democratic Party is still sifting through
the wreckage. Its standing has plunged to startling new lows
twenty seven percent approval in a recent NBC News poll.
I mean that's near Congress. Congress is like what in
usually hovering around twenty to twenty five. They're probably in
the teens now, if I'm being honest, So technically they're

(10:25):
still higher than Congress. But like, this is low. This
is bad. It is the weakest in surveys dating to
nineteen ninety, communities that Democrats had come to count on
for a generation or more. Young voters, black voters, Latinos
all veered toward the right, some of them sharply, and
unlike mister Trump's win in twenty sixteen, his victory last

(10:46):
year could not be waved away as an outlier after
he won the popular vote for the first time. The
stark reality is that the downward trend for Democrats stretches
back further than a single decade. Republicans have been gaining
ground in voter redistration for years. Working class voters of
every race have been steadily drifting towards the GOP, and
Democrats are increasingly perceived as the party of college educated elites,

(11:10):
the defenders of a political and economic system that most
Americans feel is failing them. So at least give credit
where credit is due. The New York Times is right,
you know, stopped clock is right twice a day. They're
at least observing the true reality that by and large

(11:31):
there's a party that's more so rooted in reality than
the other. But like, I am not here to carry
water for the GOP at all. In fact, most of
the rest of the topics that I'd like to discuss
on today's show are actually critical of the so called
right From the right article continues, the Democratic Party's tarnished

(11:56):
image could not come at a more inopportune moment in
this era of political polarization. The national Party's brand is
more important and influential than ever. I disagree there, So
they kind of go back and forth. It's not really
great writing.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
And so.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
This is where they admit that they do carry water,
that the media is a water carrying outlet for the
leftist propaganda machine, which is just one and the same.
And so The New York Times is beginning an occasional
series of articles about the Democrats and their predicament, how
it got so dire, what comes next, and who could
lead the way. So they're basically they're trying to trying
to fix the problem that the Democrats can't figure out.

(12:36):
But there's this one paragraph further down that this is
just so hilarious. Here's how it reads. The prospectus for
one new twenty million dollar effort, obtained by The New
York Times, aims to reverse the erosion of the Democratic

(12:57):
support among young men, especially on online. I'm gonna stop
you right there, guys. If there's anything you don't want
to do, it's weigh your feet in the waters of
the online right without knowing what you're getting yourself into.
It is code named SAM, short for Speaking with American Men,

(13:18):
a strategic plan and promises investment to study the syntax, language,
and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces.
It recommends buying advertisements in video games, among other things. Listen,
this is so funny. The Democrats they are, they have
no idea how particularly young men think politically, that they

(13:41):
literally have to spend twenty million dollars to conduct what
is in essence and anthropological study of a foreign tribe.
Right We like missionary groups spend countless dollars trying to
you know, translate the Bible into like the local tongue.
Of like this previous uncontacted tribe. They're having to basically

(14:03):
do the same thing to young men, like, we have
no idea how these guys, Hey, have you heard this
new I can imagine the boardroom, like, Hey, there's this
cool new term that these these young guys are using.
It's called have you heard the term based before?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:18):
These kids are really onto something. Huh, just talk about cringe. Man.
They have no idea, they have no idea the world
that they've created and how from the time of a
young man's birth in basically twenty first century America, they
are basically told you are not welcome in this space.
They're told that at the public school level, they're told

(14:41):
that at the university level, that you're the problem. Your
father's problem, your grandfather's the problem, your great great grandfather's
the problem. All of the sins are lumped into you.
So sit down, young man, and listen to us enlightened
people tell you all the things that you're wrong. And
the young guys are basically like, yeah, no, I'm not

(15:01):
gonna listen. In fact, I'm gonna do the very thing
that you would hate the most, and that is, in essence,
what raging against the machine is now and that is
being on the right. This is so funny to me.
Good luck Democrats. I can't wait to see how this
turns out.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Thirty six minutes after the hour, I'm Grant Allen filling
in for Preston. I forgot to even say we are
still gonna be doing What's the Beef in hour number
three starting at eight o five, So you know, you've
still got an hour and a half until you know
you ready to call in get your beefs Jose. We'll
get you all lined up and I will be taking

(16:01):
your calls and we'll be doing what's the Fry? What's
the Beef Friday? Just like normal. We're not interrupting anything.
Got to keep the structure of the show, you know,
right on track. Here the big story in the press box,
I'm going to try to do what they called what
they call the weave. Trump does this. He's like he
does the weave where he comes in and out, you know,

(16:24):
he comes in and out of stories, and he ties
things in that you think won't be connected. Jose reported
on it in the news. There was an ice immigration
raid here in town. Yesterday, and I've got the same
information that you've got, don't have any any special information
about thirty individuals were arrested. What was what was the number?

(16:49):
Off the top of my head, it.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Said one hundred last night in the article I.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Was reading an article about it. I should know anyway,
there was an ice in a gration raid here in town,
and I wanted to connect that to what I think
is my observation of a broader trend. And it feels
like the momentum has slowed down for a lot of

(17:18):
the President's priorities. So we had this raid here of
illegals in Tallahassee yesterday, but it feels like it's been
a while since I'd heard of any kind of ice raid,
any kind of deportation. In fact, most of what oh, yeah,

(17:41):
you're right over one hundred detained. That's amazing. That's according
to the Democrat here. That's a massive number.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
By the way.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Wow, I guess I got the preliminary numbers when I
had originally saw the story, and I did not see
the updates. Apologies for that, But it feels like it
is just slown down, and I just am continued to
believe that if we don't seriously take the need for deportations.

(18:15):
I mean, we're not going to have a country like
we like. The demographic numbers are basically done. We don't
have native born, native stock Americans having enough children at
the rate to be able to stave off the massive
amounts of people who have come into the country and

(18:37):
they've brought their families with them and they I mean,
the world is not America is not the world's dumping ground,
right the question of what or who is an American
is not a global citizen in the world just waiting

(18:57):
to arrive and kiss the magic dirt. That's not what
an American is. There's so many that have to go back,
and it feels like the the priorities of the president
have really been bogged up, in large part by Lawfair,
these activist judges that are gumming up the deportation process.

(19:17):
And there's a lot to be said about that. I'm
gonna stop there, continue into the next segment with these
thoughts because there's more. I'm gonna say. Forty minutes after
the hour, Dublin.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
UFLA what I mean by it feels like the momentum
has really slowed down for Maga for America.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
First, there are so many dynamics at play here, it's
kind of hard to synthesize it, but I'll do my best.
So you've got immigration. It feels like the you know,
Border Patrol would post these hilarious Instagram reels and I'd
show it depressing it. They were hilarious, so you kind
of felt like the palpable momentum was still there. I

(20:11):
haven't seen one of those in a while. Christy Nome
would do like a you know, man on the Street style, like, hey,
we're going rating, you know like, and she'd post it
to Twitter. I'm like, all right, sweet, we got videos. Cool,
here's proof, And then it went kind of radio silent
for a while. Pair that, right, what feels like the

(20:34):
slow deportations? Donald Trump himself, Tom Holman, They've all actually expressed,
Stephen Miller, They've all expressed to one another and to
the press that they're disappointed at how few deportations are
taking place. The legal system is definitely gumming things up,
as I mentioned in last segment, but pair it with this.
So this was yesterday. Elon Musk is officially out at DOGE.

(20:56):
He posted on Twitter x my scheduled time as a
special government employee comes to an end. I would like
to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce
wasteful spending. The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time
as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.
All Right, So he said his official statement, but he
like gave an interview and he was kind of demoralized,
Like if you if you read what he said or

(21:18):
happened to catch the video, like he was kind of
frustrated that his goal was like what a trillion dollars
in savings from DOZE and they they only touched a
fraction of that. At the same time that the big
beautiful bill that's being considered in Congress right now, you know,

(21:41):
passed by the House, currently being deliberated by the Senate
pretty much from now until July fourth. That's what their
goal is. That's you know us Senator Ron Johnson went
on Tucker's podcast the other day and was basically saying, like, yeah,
like all of the same savings from DOCHE, even though
the DOCHE savings are a fraction of what the goal was.

(22:04):
So technically mission failure that the deficit increase that's going
to come from the big beautiful bill is going to
offset the savings. It just feels like the momentum has slowed.
And consider Elon Musk arguably the most successful entrepreneur right

(22:26):
now in the business world and is pretty much the
only guy with the intellect, team resources assets that very
well may be able to get like Man to Mars,
like that's his goal, and in terms of the business world,

(22:46):
he has relatively few stumbling blocks in his way. He
can kind of he can like he makes rockets, like
for crying out loud, like he got that team back
from the space station. Like the guy just makes things happen,
and that's a very admirable quality. I have concerns about
him and his worldview regarding AI. I could talk about

(23:08):
AI on the show if there's time permitting. I'd like to.
But because that's the other thing that I just everywhere
I go I see news stories about it, and I
think people need to be prepared anyway. But if Elon
Musk is even kind of taking the black pill on,
how little he was able to actually impact the function
of government in the savings of government like Man. This

(23:34):
is why in the end, it's like, Okay, Grant, why
are you bringing this, Why are you bringing us down today?
Like what to remind ourselves that political solutions through like voting.
Even though Donald Trump is still he is the hero
archetype of our age. The man gets shot, comes back up,
raises the fists, everyone rallies around him. That was the

(23:57):
type of almost eggrigoric spirit that you could see he
was gonna win the election. Like I'm still still maga,
still America.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
First.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I don't mean to be a downer, but like you
have to look around, like Oswald Spangler said, optimism is cowardice.
And if you can't actually take a good, hard look
around and see that by and large, the victories there
have been many, many victories, good victories, and I'm thankful
for them. We have so much left to do. And
this is the importance of like building local networks in

(24:27):
your community that whether it's parallel institutions, you know, siphoning
money away from the regime into your tight knit fraternity,
your local group, your church, whatever, that will save your
family a generation from now, right, because it's only going
to constrict and things are only going to get worse.

(24:50):
Like that's inevitably kind of where we're going. Because if
this big beautiful bill continues, then it proves that we
actually can't reign in spending and the GOP is actually
not interest interested in reigning and spending at all. Uniparty
just saying both people, both groups, both parties, have incredible

(25:11):
interest in seeing the regime continue as is, and people
who are actually interested in cutting it off, like Elon,
they get black pilled in three.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Months Radio one seven UFLA.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
So I've got Fox News up on the TV here.
I was just clicking through and just have something on
the TV in case breaking news happens, and I gotta
let you know. They're doing a segment adulting one oh
one now that actually this this one saying this actually
looks really useful because I still don't know how to

(25:55):
full fitted sheet. But also nobody calls it adulting anymore.
I told Jose in the break that's how you know
a lot of like control rooms and like newsrooms, production
rooms whatever are dominated by millennials because those millennial coded
language kind of seeps through, like nobody nobody says, oh

(26:17):
hashtag adulting. Nobody, It's not Instagram in twenty twelve anymore. Okay,
uh say dying, what are you? Are you a millennial.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
You know, I'm gonna be honest with you. I have
no idea how I worn in nineteen eighty eight. I
don't know what that makes me.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Eighty eight. Yep, I think that's I think you're I'm
an old man. Yeah, I think that's yeah. I think
that's millennial. I can't remember. Uh, that's so funny. Oh
now now they're doing how to meal prep. Goodness, gracious,
what I what I wanted to talk about this segment,

(26:59):
and I entitled this segment on the Rundown. Here they
hollow out your religion and wear it as a skin suit.
I heard that phrase popularized by the Blaze podcaster or
In McIntyre. Follow him on Twitter and he he's a
good follow if you were on Twitter, highly recommend following him.

(27:20):
But this article that was posted this it's kind of
makes me a little I don't want to say violently,
but like it makes me very upset, right because we're
not I'm done, We're done playing this game. And here's
what the game is. It's an article from the Conversation

(27:41):
with their tagline as academic rigor journalistic flair. And I
didn't even want to read the article, but I'll show
you the headline, and I'll give you pieces here and there.
Christianity has long revered Saint who would be called transgender

(28:02):
today those eighth roses his headphones. Several Republican led states
have restricted transgender rights Iowa, Wyoming. Hundreds of bills have
been introduced in other state legislatures to curetail trans rights. This,

(28:24):
this is actually this is why, I mean, we're done
playing this game. This is what the left does. They
don't want your religion, they don't want Christianity, they want
nothing to do with Christ. But when they do, they
demand you conform to their image of what Christianity is.

(28:48):
They don't care that Christ said go and send no more,
that the only way to the Father is through him.
They don't like that. But they love They love, love
thy neighbor. And I don't don't know what whose they
just did, but it was really funny. What they do

(29:11):
again is they take the things you care about. They
take your homeland, they take your hometown, they take your faith,
the faith of your fathers. They hollow it out, they
wear it as a skin suit, and they parade it
around and demand that you conform to what they say

(29:32):
your religion is we're not playing this game. Name our
number two. On this Friday edition of the Morning Show,

(29:54):
I'm Grant Alan in for Preston. As always, you can
reach out let me know your thought about topics covered today.
Uh you know, used to used to be in here
a lot and uh you know, would love to hear
from you. Feel free to reach out. Grant Allen a
l l E n at w f l A f
M dot com. Again, Grant A l L E n

(30:16):
at w f l A f M dot com. We'd
love to hear from you. And we've got what's the
be Friday coming up in one hour, so hang tight,
get your beefs ready. It'll be great. We're we're keeping
what is I don't know. Half of the entertainment of
being the host of this show is seeing what happens

(30:39):
on the other side of the glass. Yeah, I was.
I was born looking funny, So that's not what I said. Uh,
Jose over there in Studio one A and I'm in
Studio one B. I I am using this, as I
mentioned at this start of the show, to get a

(31:00):
lot of things off of my chest. As you know,
time goes on and I'm constantly reading. I've never. I
basically have not stopped reading, basically for ten years. I'm
just constantly reading, constantly consuming information because I love it.
It helps formulate the world as it's going on around

(31:22):
So on my bookshelf, I've got books dedicated to history
and politics and philosophy. And then you know, you scroll
on Twitter and you check the news, and it makes
sense of the world right there, and reading the scriptures,
it helps make sense of the world around us, and
we're informed by things that are just outside of our

(31:44):
own as Preston likes to call, and I've heard other
people use this term, and I think it's absolutely right.
Presentism with the minute you start kind of harkening back
to other thoughts from different periods of history, and you
start rooting yourself in a tradition, whether it be the
American tradition, whether it be you know, say a particular

(32:04):
school of thought like Hamiltonian protectionism, or say the Southern
school of thought or the Western canon, Greek philosophy. You're
starting to really broaden your mind and it makes a
lot of sense of the world around us, whatever the
case is. So a little bit of history is required

(32:25):
in order to understand the need of the hour. As
I mentioned, is the big story in the press box
is not the big story segment, but the big story
was the momentum feels gone from a lot of President
Trump's efforts running into all sorts of trouble, including this.

(32:48):
A federal judge says the attempted deportation of anti Israel
ringleader Mahmood Khalil may be unconstitutional, and his lawyers celebrate
the ruling, while the Department of Homeland Security attorneys claim
he concealed employment history and a green card application. A
federal judge in New Jersey rule the President Donald Trump's
effort to deport an activists Mahmood Khalil is his name

(33:11):
is most likely unconstitutional. US District Judge Michael Farbars handed
down the ruling, though he did not go so as
far as to order the Khalil's release. Far brs, Yes,
that's his name. I don't know how to say it.

(33:33):
Argued that Lord Farquat, that's what I wanted to say.
Argue that the Trump administration's deportation order was likely to
be dismissed as unconstitutionally vague. Another story, after judge halts
immigration law Miami groups rallied to demand Governor DeSantis comply.
So you've got a federal case going on there in
New Jersey, You've got case here in Florida. Progressive groups

(33:56):
are holding or this was yesterday, they held a noon
rally out a Miami courthouse to demand that Governor Ron
DeSantis and Attorney General James Utmeyer complied with the court
order blocking enforcement of Florida's new controversial immigration law. The
new law mandates imprisonment for being in Florida illegally and
capital punishment for illegals who commit capital crimes. And I

(34:19):
just have to say, invoke the Jackson option. Andrew Jackson
was part of our history segment. Invoke the Jackson option.
I'll explain next. Invoke the Jackson option inspired by Andrew Jackson. Now,

(34:56):
to be clear, the case in which which I'm referencing
was in the early Republic era, when President Andrew Jackson
was in essence. The Supreme Court of the United States
at the time issued a ruling that it was the

(35:19):
Worcester versus Georgia case. And I believe the year eighteen
thirty two related to Georgia enforcement related to Native Americans.
And anyway, Andrew Jackson took the position that the court
has made its ruling, now let them enforce it. Point is,

(35:45):
I actually have no interest in kind of retconning or
retrieving any kind of particular narrative around like the Trail
of Tears or American settlement in the Southwest at the time.
That's actually not the point. But what is the point
is that the executive, by the constitutions dictates, does have

(36:06):
the authority to impose immigration restrictions, and when the country
is facing collapse or invasion or subversion, that the courts
are getting in the way, and that the courts should
be ignored. This is a piece in the federalist Trump
should buck rogue judges, not buckle to them. So this

(36:29):
is an exhortation also to Governor DeSantis to all of
these pressure that you might be facing about this new law,
that is just common sense, ignore and just govern do
what is right, save the country. Donald Trump was literally
Napoleon posting about a month ago saying like he who

(36:52):
saves his country violates no law, and that is right.
That's what these judges are trying to get you to
think that there's this unconstitutional what ever from an administration
that is trying to save the nation, The Federalist goes
on to say here. Last week, unelected District Court Judge

(37:14):
Brian Murphy told the Trump administration that it must bring
back an illegal alien who's deported because, according to Murphy,
the alien needs due process, and the Trump administration buckled
in court filings. Was it this Wednesday? Last Wednesday? It
was this Wednesday? The Department of Justice said it would
bring back the illegal alien designated by the initials OCG

(37:35):
after Murphy ruled that the administration ignored certain steps in
the removal process. We're going to treat illegals and their
families with decency. We're not going to we're not going
to be brutal, We're not going to be unkind, but
they are going to go back. That's the only kind
of due process that is owed. I I, my family's

(37:57):
been here since sixteen thirty right my family. I was
born in America. I have the right to do process.
Illegals have a type of due process, but it's not
the same kind of due process that native born Americans have.
And even the term native born American is a little confusing.

(38:19):
Because of the concept of anchor babies, many of them
will likely have to go back to Just this past week,
another district court judge ordered the Trump administration to continue
to allow thousands of immigrants to remain under a parole
program so that they can continue to work in the country.
Trump tried to curtail its use after pointing out the
Biden administration misused the power, and then another district court

(38:43):
judge halted the administration from making any permanent changes to
Harvard's student visa program. This is black robed tyranny. We're
being governed by lesser judges who are trying to tell
the executive what the executive can do. What I meaning
to say is by Trump ignoring the courts, ignoring these

(39:06):
judges is actually a return to constitutional order. The executive
does have this authority, facing invasion, facing subversion from foreign powers.
I continue to hear horrible, just horrible examples of how
most of the IVY leagues are not American, like most
of them are foreign. I just heard a stat last

(39:27):
night that like what quarter million Chinese nationals are enrolled
in American universities. And you know that after one semester
and they go back to their home country, they get
debriefed and then they are sent back. That's happening. These
rogue judges are all a member of the inferior judiciary. However,

(39:52):
the article continues, the individual judges have single handedly usurped
the authority of the executive branch and attempting to halter
dictate the actions of Trump since the he took office.
If that is to remain the case, that means the
United States is no longer a government of three co
equal branches. Instead, we're living under the unitary judiciary. Thomas

(40:17):
Jefferson had a great quote here. In eighteen nineteen, he
wrote a letter to Virginia Judge Spencer Rohne that the
Constitution would become quote a mere thing of wax in
the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist in
shape into any form they please end quote ignore the courts,
invoke the Jackson option. Look at Chief Justice John Robertson,

(40:40):
all of these judges. All Supreme Court doesn't matter you
and what army? Because we've got a country to save.

(41:15):
I want the administration. I want MAGA, America first. Whatever.
We need to have a conversation about that, by the way,
because I think America first is the phrase to use
in the future. MAGA was a subset of America First,

(41:44):
if that makes sense. MAGA was a very unique thing
that happened in a unique period of time, from coming
down the escalator in twenty fifteen to you know, twenty
twenty five. You know, now like that the last decade,
the decade of Trump, that's MAGA. But America First is
actually quite old. You know, you had politicians like way

(42:07):
back in the thirties that would use the phrase America First.
Ronald Reagan used the phrase America first on campaign slogans,
you know, little campaign pins, little buttons, and so I
think I think going forward, MAGA is probably going to
be retired when Donald Trump's term is up, and I

(42:30):
think that's okay. It served its purpose. The MAGA hat
is iconic and will always be like like Lincoln's top
hat or you know, the legend of you know, George
Washington chopping down the cherry tree. Right, these things they
just they exist now in the ether and they've kind

(42:50):
of taken on a life of their own. And I
think that's okay. But going forward, whatever the American right
wing looks like after Trump, No, he's not gonna have
a third term. That's not gonna happen. Everyone knows this

(43:14):
I think America First is the way to go. But
I want America First Mecca as currently constituted to be
that and more like ten X, you know, which is
why it's real frustrating to me to watch people who
I was real excited for to get jobs in the

(43:35):
administration and kind of just and I'm talking about two guys,
Cash Betel and Dan Bongino. Story here from PJ Media.
Dan Bongino was given an interview and apparently there is
video proof that Jeffrey Epstein did commit suicide and it
will be released in a segment that's sure to reignite debate.

(43:57):
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongina re on Fox and Friends
that federal investigators have reviewed surveillance footage from Jeffrey Epstein's
jail cell and confirmed the existence of video never before
seen by the public. Bongino said, those two cases obviously
are of significant public interest. I'm just telling you what

(44:18):
we see in the file. I am. I just want
to be crystal clear on this, he says, I'm not
asking anyone to believe me. I'm telling you what's there
and what isn't. What is not there, according to Bongino,
is any evidence supporting theories of foul play. He said,
there is nothing in the file at this point on
the Epstein case, and there is going to be a
disclosure on this coming shortly. We are working through some

(44:39):
there is video that is something the public does not have.
Come on, if I'm wrong here, I will happily eat
cro I want the truth more than anything. Really, Like

(45:02):
I'm not I come on, come on, Dan, come on, cash.
If you wanted to appear like you take a job
at the FBI and everyone immediately says like, oh, deep state, gotcha.
Like if you wanted to appear like you were completely

(45:24):
captured by the deep state in just a few months
of taking the job, this is how you do it.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I could be very wrong here. This is pure speculation.
I literally know nothing except instinct and the research I've done. Okay,
so not nothing research I've done. Like, come on, guys, like.

Speaker 8 (45:45):
This is.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
It's kind of hard to form words like I don't
want to just roast them. But this is why I said,
I want MAGA and America first. I want the administration
to truly crush the deep state. I wanted to be crushed.
I want america sovereignty returned. I don't want any foreign influence.
I want our intel agencies to be honest again. I
want America to be great. I want America of old

(46:10):
as she once was, because that was the land of
my forefathers. That's what I want. I just don't believe this.
I could very well be wrong. I'm totally aware that
I could be. Bongino and Patel could be telling the truth.
They very well could be. Maybe there is this file

(46:30):
and time will tell, but there's no way.

Speaker 7 (46:36):
Right Dublin, UFLA, We're a half.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Hour away from what's the Beef Friday? Get ready, get
your beef's ready. Jose will be taking your call over there,
funneling them to me. We'll be having a great time
here on Friday, keeping the third hour of Friday's show
a little bit more lighthearted, like always. In the meantime,

(47:12):
here's the big story in the press box. It feels
like so much of the momentum around MAGA not not
the movement, because you have to distinguish between the administration
and the base. I think the base is I don't know.

(47:34):
Maybe it feels like we're desiring, wanting more. We want
to push the ball down the field more more, doge
more dismantling to the deep state, please like more, you know,
scaling back of the military industrial complex.

Speaker 8 (47:55):
More.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
We'd like to actually be a nation again, not just
this amalgamation of bureaucratic apparatus that has these vague notions
of like freedom and patriotism. But really, you know what,
we really really care about Ukraine. That's what I remember

(48:19):
talking with Pression about this, maybe a couple of years ago,
when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House. It was
like twenty twenty two. She was going on this kind
of Pacific rim tour and she was in Taiwan, and
it just clicked with me then. I don't know why then,
I guess it just finally did. But Nancy Pelosi's speech
before the Taiwanese delegation about you know, warning of you know,

(48:42):
impending threats from mainland China, blah blah blah. She was like, we,
the Americans and the Taiwanese stand together in the name
of freedom and solidarity and democracy, and they use all
the buzzwords, the buzz words that we care about. Very

(49:03):
similar to the topic of religion that I mentioned earlier,
of how they hollow out your skin suit, they hollow
out the words that you care about, a constitutional order, democracy, freedom, liberty.
They hollow those out and they they fill it with
something that it's not. And so that's how you get

(49:24):
Like when so when you hear Nancy Pelosi or anyone
on the left talking about spreading American democracy throughout the
world and the values of secular liberal democracy throughout the world,
what they want is drag Queen story Hour on the
streets of Ukraine. Like that's what they mean, that's what
they mean. That's like NATO's mission really is, like to

(49:47):
defend that liberal Western hegemony that has completely been hollowed
out and co opted by the left. Now it's indistinguishable,
Like you see a gay pride flag, Oh, NATO, Oh
there's America there, Like that's in the rest of the
world's mind. We as Americans know of old America. But

(50:12):
that is in essence of what our main export has
become in the West, this kind of leftist ideology that
is self destructive. And I want America first to be
the best America first that it can be. I want
the administration to be the best administration that it can be.

(50:33):
But Elon, he's burned out after just a few months
of heading up Doge. He's burned out, he's left. How
bad does it have to be when one of the
richest men in the world, if not the I don't
I don't recall the rankings, one of the richest men
in the world, he's burned out, he doesn't feel like
that he can make an impact. That should be like

(50:57):
a splash of cold water in our face. That it
really bad. Earlier in the show, I talked about how

(51:21):
the Democrats are really six months after the election, and
so many demographics, young men, Hispanic men shifted right, hard right. Actually,
it was pretty much every trend in the country shifted
to the right in the election and the aftermath. They're

(51:44):
still trying to figure out who they are and they're
trying to figure out how to reach young men, particularly online,
which is going to be a hilarious effort. But there
was one aspect of the discourse, as they call it,

(52:05):
that I saw some people talking about on Twitter last night,
and I was like, yeah, you know, that kind of
disappeared and it's tied into a story here, right. So
this was from yesterday, twenty ninth, Florida Governor Rohn Is saying,

(52:27):
as signed a bill that removes automatic restrictions on firearms
and ammunition during certain local states of emergency, including threats
of violence or public disorder. Here's what it does. House
Bill sixty twenty five repeals a law WOU that would
ban the sale or carrying a firearms and ammunition during
a local state of emergency due to a riot or

(52:48):
public disorder. The bill also repeals a provision stating that
nothing in the law may be construed to authorize the seizure, taking,
or confiscation of lawfully possessed firearms unless the person is
engaged in criminal act. Bill was approved by the governor
Thursday and took into effect the same day. So it
is it is a new law on the floor to books,

(53:09):
effective immediately. And it kind of what and it struck me,
are it does the left even talk about guns anymore?
Like I used to always see like some article from

(53:30):
like every town, every Town for Gun Safety whatever, or
there's some sort of gun control group, like I don't
even see like liberals on the internet. Are it feels
like that went away? And I have a theory there
was one particular event that caused them and this actually

(53:54):
might be an indictment on the left, But I have
not seen anyone really make any substantive, real kind of
pro gun control effort in the political realm, online realm,
whatever since Luigi MANGIONI. I mean, maybe there's there's nothing
to it, But like that feels like an event that

(54:15):
it kind of like they stopped there. That was just
an observation I made. I'm just observing things and saying
them out loud. That could be a dangerous combination though,
But like I legitimately I don't. I no longer hear
about Democrats talking about, you know, the important need for
common sense gun control measures. Joe Biden didn't even really

(54:40):
talk about it that much in the latter half of
his term, maybe towards the beginning. But it just feels
like that's one of those issues that the left has.
The left abandoned that now if you were to ask
them on an individual by individual basis, they'd probably say, no,
it's still very important to them, and there are political
advocacy groups solely dedicated to the effort of gun control

(55:05):
firearm restriction on US Americans. I don't see it anymore now.
Maybe it'll make it come back. Maybe it's just a
brief hiatus and like everything, Like about a month ago
everyone was freaking out about tariffs. That discourse quieted down
very quickly. Just feels like the hiatus for like the

(55:28):
gun control thing has been like months, maybe even a
little longer than that, like a year plus. I don't know,
just something that struck me again. I was just scrolling
and I was like, you know, I see a lot
of pro gun legislation getting passed across many states across
the country, but I don't see any substantive pushback anymore.

(55:52):
I wonder if they just quit. It makes me want
I again, I don't think that they actually have. I
think the left is going to make an inevitable comeback,
and it could potentially be very not good. But there
are certain cultural touchstone issues that they no longer seem
to prioritize. Like Dylan mulvaney, he's not been around in

(56:13):
a long, long time. Same thing with gun control conversations.
There are some of these cultural touchstones that just seem
to have faded away. I find it very interesting. I
wonder if you've seen the same thing as well. Forty
seven minutes.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
After the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
As we get ready for what's the Beef Friday? I
wanted to share this story real quick. You probably saw
the last living grandson of President John Tyler passed away
this week at age ninety six. You're wondering, how does
that happen? Well, President John Tyler, who was born in
seventeen ninety, had children significantly later in life with a

(57:03):
much younger wife. So he was in his sixties, his
wife was much younger, and then that exact same thing
happened to one of those youngest kids of that second union.
So John Tyler had a son named Lion Gardner Tyler.

(57:25):
He did not have He kept having children from a
much younger wife while he was in his seventies. That
eventually led to Harrison Ruff and Tyler being born in
nineteen twenty eight. So yes, that's how you get a
guy born when France was a monarchy having living grandchildren.
I just gotta say I was really heartbroken. I knew

(57:47):
of this story. I'd heard it before. I saw a
special many years ago about John Tyler's grandson, Harrison Ruff
and Tyler, and it just feels like, you know, another
one of those things of it feels like God gifted
us a mercy that we had such a living testament
to Old America as she once was still with us,

(58:09):
you know, like the fact that there was a man
alive who his father was born in seven grandfather was
born in seventeen ninety and was president in the early Republic.
That it feels like God really gave us a mercy
of being able to, you know, interview the man, like,

(58:31):
what's it like being the grandson of a guy like this,
even though you never knew him. John Tyler passed away
in eighteen sixty two, and obviously his last grandson wasn't
born until one of the last grandsons here wasn't born
until nineteen twenty eight. That's amazing, though, I just I

(58:52):
was saddened to hear it because I knew it was
such a really, really cool story. But what's the beef Friday?
It is time now eight five zero two zero five WFLA.
That's eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.
It's what's the beef Friday? Here on the Morning Show,
I'm Grant Allen filling in for Preston. We're gonna be

(59:15):
taking your calls. Jose over there already taking some calls.
We got one caller in, we got three more lines open.
So here's how we're Actually I'm not going to tell
you the instructions. I'll tell you the instructions when we
get to what's the beef Friday? But yes, as again,
call eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty

(59:38):
two to get in line. That's eight five zero two
zero five w FLA. I wanted to quick hit on
this since I've got about sixty seconds. As I've talked about,
maybe this will this could this could line up for
for some beefs. This ed in Fox News Road. I'm

(01:00:02):
from gen Z. I know why Democrats are losing young men.
We're not a mystery, We're a movement, he said, because
the reality is is that the Democrat Party. The only
place for young men in the Democrat Party is to
inevitably be like Tim Walls, where you're just like this
floundering guy on stage, where you're just like, ohr, I'm

(01:00:23):
just a Simpsons character. That's in essence, what your fate
is as a young man on the left, and that's
an insufferable existence. Nobody wants to live that way. Men
want to be great, and that's why they flock to
the right. What's the beef Friday? Is next call? Now,

(01:00:57):
what's the beef Friday? Let the music play run a
little bit here. Oh, looks like we lost a caller
and that was it. Well that's all, folks, Time to
packing on. We've got four lines open here on what's

(01:01:22):
the beef Friday? Eight five zero to zero five WFLA
eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two
is the number to call. Jose will pick you up,
and we got one. Jose will get him to me
real quick here. But as always, here are the rules.

(01:01:43):
No profanity and don't make it personal. Obviously this is
a clean, family friendly show, so no profanity. And if
you have a poor experience at a place you know,
don't name them personally. You know you can allude to it, right,

(01:02:03):
Maybe sometimes people know what you're talking about. But yeah,
no profanity, don't make it personal, and those are the rules.
You know, get it off your chest, go into the
weekend with your shoulders feeling unburdened by what has been

(01:02:24):
the cut that one But we go to line number one,
Line number one, what's the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:02:32):
This is Greg and my beef should have been a
worst of the week nominee.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
Oh okay, the.

Speaker 9 (01:02:37):
Massachusetts team who did not hear his case before the
Supreme Court. It was declined because you wore the T shirt.
There are only two genders in Massachusetts. And here's the story.
First of all, baby boomers know that there are only
two genders because we watched some of the tennis fans

(01:02:59):
watched the Mother's Day massacre Bobby Riggs versus Margaret Court.
Then Jen Zeer, I'm sorry, jen Xers. Remember the Mitchell
report from after the nineteen ninety six Major League Baseball
season that said even trace amounts of testosterone are affecting

(01:03:20):
job performance. So, in other words, why our transgender women
not treated the same as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
And finally, there's a little bit of a Title X violation,
not equal protection because we have zero women trying out

(01:03:40):
for spring football or men's basketball. By the way, were
you locked and loaded with a dad joke? If not,
like a contribute one, I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Was prepared to have one, but feel free to take
us with one anyway.

Speaker 9 (01:03:59):
Thank you. New dads learn quickly not to run the
paddle fan on high speed when changing a dirty diaper.
Call it the winds of change.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Greg, thank you very much. Hope that beef getting off
your chest made you feel better going into the weekend. Yeah,
there are lots of I mean, I know the guy
wore a T shirt, you know, in the courtroom that
said Massachusetts only had two genders, but they might have
more up there. I mean, it's a little wild again.

(01:04:36):
We've still got some lines open here eight five zero
two zero five WFLA. That's eight five zero two zero
five ninety three fifty two. And Greg, I appreciate the
help with the dad joke. We've got line number two.
Let's see what we got here, Ron on two. Thank you. Ron.

Speaker 10 (01:04:57):
Okay, how you doing great?

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Is this Alan?

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
This is a Grant Allan go ahead with what's the beef?

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
Hey, Grant?

Speaker 10 (01:05:05):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't always gonna come up that quick that.
I was just on the phone with jose Tong you
about the accident. But anyway, great.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
To hear you, mister Allen.

Speaker 10 (01:05:14):
Thank you. It's always good for you to fill in.

Speaker 11 (01:05:17):
You do such a great job.

Speaker 10 (01:05:18):
Thought we forget the other Allen on there. We could
have an Allen and Allen show. That would be you
know something else. But anyway, but I'd like to bring
up you talked about earlier, and you know, people need
to remember, we the people, is how our great paperwork
started just laying and that's what's wrong. And you was
talking about Maga kind of falling off, which is okay,

(01:05:41):
that's fine. But my my beef is there's nothing going
to happen unless we do it. The ruminators, we the people,
you know, we need to stand up and keep this going.
The little snowballs rolling. It's not going to get any
bigger unless we're behind it. That's that's what I've got
to say to the people out there that don't do nothing.
I I got friendsday, gripe, gripe, gripe, and I said, well,

(01:06:04):
you need to call our call. Here's the number two
two two two four three one two one cal Washington.
I don't know, did don't do no good? Well, didn't
shut up and sit the flip flop down? Then I
don't want to hear you cry.

Speaker 8 (01:06:17):
Uh so, But.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Any anyway, grant great, glad to hear you.

Speaker 10 (01:06:22):
Have a great weekend, my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Thank you, Ron, thank you for the kind words well said. Yes,
there's so much that we can do in between than
just voting in elections. It's true. We can do so
much more. After all, it is we the people. We
got more coming up. Two more segments here on what's
the Beef Friday. We've got John and Jeffrey coming up next.

(01:06:44):
Two lines are open that could be yours. It's what's
the beef Friday?

M dot com keyword preston.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
What's the be Friday? Called now eight five zero, Jose
your five ninety three fifty two. Well, we've got John
online three John, thank you for calling what's the beef.

Speaker 13 (01:07:27):
Hy Good morning, Grant. Glad to hear you back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Yeah, good day, hear you.

Speaker 13 (01:07:33):
Look here, my beef is with people who do not
dislike the legacy news media enough. This is not a
novel thought. Victor Davis Hansen and others has said it too.
We do not dislike him enough and do not do
not distrust them enough. Jake Tapper and them are out

(01:07:53):
there peddling their book and turn around in the same
breath and turn around and saying, well, we need to
question Trump's minimally q in his Uh, what's what's he hiding? No,
you bozo's you have been lying and carrying on the
whole time. And don't forget it's not just hiding Biden's
cognitive dish decline. Think about the Hunter laptop. He said

(01:08:17):
right there. Jake Tapper sat right there and told Jim Jordan,
there's no proof of that what Leslie Stone said till
the president or we can't. We can't verify the other
and the FB I'd had it for a year and
knew and they knew it was true. So don't don't
don't accept this apology to her as anything but ce
y a and covering the covering their uh, trying to
sell a book. Anyway, I'm done, y'all have a good weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Hey, John, thank you so much for calling for What's
the Beef? Good to talk with you. Yeah, I think
that's that's absolutely right. This this whole kind of about
face by the legacy media. They they have so burned
through trust and John is absolutely right. We don't dislike
them enough, like it was Nixon, so that the press

(01:09:03):
is the enemy, like we don't dislike them enough, and
Nixon was right. We got Jeffrey on line one. Jeffrey,
thank you for calling What's the Beef?

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
Hey, Grant, thanks, I'll tell you what. We have a
real problem around the country right now that and locally
I'm experiencing it somewhat personally. We've got people who have
are breeding dogs and breeding dogs. We've got animal shelters
that are filled. We've got private groups screaming out with

(01:09:35):
anybody willing to foster a dog. I think that, unfortunately,
we probably need to address at some point, both locally
and across the nation. We have to do some kind
of some variety of licensing of dogs and licensing of
people who will breed dogs, because once it again, you

(01:10:00):
have lots of individuals out there who are breeding dogs,
having litters, aren't they cute? And then all of a sudden,
these dogs are ending up in foster homes, in animal shelters,
so everybody else is paying for other people's casual breeding
of dogs, and it has become it is a national

(01:10:26):
concern right now. And if you look around locally, look
on your Facebook and what have you, you see time
and time again this situation being presented to people, and
once again, animal shelters are being built before trying to
face the problem by dealing with all these dogs, rather

(01:10:48):
than going back and saying, all right, we've got to
somehow determine who will be permitted to breed dogs. So
what's your thought on that?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Yeah, that's interesting, Jeffrey, thank you for calling in and
getting that off your chest for What's the Beef Friday?
As a non pet owner, I didn't realize that this
was news to me. I didn't know that pet populations
were so I guess uncontrolled. I mean I could have
imagined because each time that there's a litter, there's multiple puppies, right,

(01:11:20):
I just had no idea. I'd have to think about it.
This is entirely off my radar, So this was just
a fresh off the cuff take. I have no clue
this is a I mean, I'm not gonna get a
dog because you know, I got family that's allergic and
I like being able to have family come over. So
but I may get a dog if I have land
someday and it can be an outdoor dog only you know,

(01:11:40):
have a nice little place for it to rest at
night and then wander and be free. Maybe. But we
got more What's the bee Friday coming up next. The
lines are open call now eight five zero two zero
five ninety three fifty two. Last set of callers we've

(01:12:11):
got one line open call now and you'll make it
in here on the last segment of What's the Beef Friday,
call it this number eight five zero two zero five
ninety three fifty two. You get your beef in before
the weekend. Don't go into your weekend all you know,
huffing and puffing and just all upset. Now, you know,
call in, get it off your chest. That's what we're

(01:12:32):
here for. This is for you. But we got Michael, Michael,
thank you for calling What's the Beef?

Speaker 11 (01:12:41):
Hey, Hey, always good to hear from you. My beef
is with Michelle Obama and let's statements he made that
the womb is the least it can do is give
life to the to the baby.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
I saw that.

Speaker 11 (01:12:56):
And my oping is that if they keep calling with
this message, and they'll keep losing people from the Democrat Party.
And you don't hear Michelle Obama took on the black
on black crime or the life of the baby or
the black babies that are being killed, right, so when
you're going to talk about that, So let them keep

(01:13:17):
doing what you're doing. I think they'll keep losing people.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
Thank you, Gran, Hey, Michael, thank you so much for calling. Yeah,
I think that's that's right. Yeah, to say that literally
creating a human being life, a human that will live
forever is like the least like, No, that's actually amazing.
That's like, that's like the height of human existence. That's amazing.
Creating life that will live forever, that's unbelievable. Yeah, So

(01:13:44):
shout out to Michelle Obama for being completely backwards on that.
But I'm not shocked, Jack, thank you for calling. What's
the beef?

Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Hey, Grant, I don't complain a lot, but I'm calling
in for the landowners and the property owners that have
become the ashcal for this local fire fee. It went
from remember back in the day, they had the volunteer
fire department, and that wasn't a full time job, and
it wasn't just Tennessee either, but we were told to

(01:14:13):
be within five rings of the phone. We had a
regular job, and they worked maybe once a month. I
listened to the last year, the last half of last
year on your station. Out of six months, one cat
was saved, one cat with another cat was saved another
month later, and then they saved a dog from fifty
thousand dollars a year. And I just don't I don't

(01:14:34):
understand when they worked maybe once a month, how that
became a full time job, and now they're building twenties.
They've got twenty six new jobs, two new stations. I
guess it's paying for itself. But when they put out
a list for the volunteer fire Department and put my
name at the top of the list, I want to
get on that gravy train.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
Thanks a lot, Thanks you for calling. Yeah, I mean
it sounds lucrative, to be honest. Yeah, I mean, after
all that, Yeah, sounds quite lucrative. We got k kay,
thank you for calling. What's the beef?

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
Hey, I'm calling because I'm angry that insurance companies homeowners
are willing to pay more in legal fees than they
are to pay your claim.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Yeah, that's It's pretty common around here right now, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:15:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
I live in Perry, and I find it hard to
believe that they think that they can find a friendly
jury in Perry. Why do they want to go Why
do they want to go to court? Instead of paying
my claims? All they're doing is breaching their contracts. They
literally haven't paid my claim since Idelia, and they have

(01:15:43):
two other hurricanes after that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
Oh, Wow. Hey, yeah, that's pretty soon. Yeah, wow, yeah,
that's pretty significant. Kay, thank you for calling in. I'm
sorry you're going through that, but yeah, insurance right now
is everyone knows. It is kind of a mess. This
will be our last caller, Jody, thank you for calling.
What's the beef Friday? What is your beef?

Speaker 5 (01:16:03):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:16:04):
Well, it would be the perpetual protesters that you know,
just out of the blue, they're gonna have a protest tonight,
I guess in front of the capital about the people
being radied down there on the job site for being
illegal immigrants and not illegal. They're here illegally and they're protesting,

(01:16:26):
and I'm just like, how do you get it process
that quick for a permit because I'm pretty sure you
have to have permit down there nowadays. Yeah, to do any.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Kind of protest, honestly, sounds like a great place for
ice to make another rate. I'm just saying, well, I mean.

Speaker 8 (01:16:42):
That's what I'm thinking. And plots of those guys were
doing their job. I saw the news there were several
state troopers down there helping them out. Now that they've
been sworn in, I think that's awful.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Yeah, yeah, that is great. Jody, Thank you for calling in.
Thank you for calling What's the Beef? It was when
I saw the almost couldn't believe it. Like a one
hundred people had been obtained. That takes a lot of
personnel to be able to get all that done. That's
a massive operation. Wow, little old Tallahassee making national news.

(01:17:13):
Look at us, Hey like that, Paul Rudd means, like
who to thunk it? Look at us? Thank you for
calling What's the Beef? It was a pleasure to be
back for What's the Beef. We're gonna round out the
final half hour of the show. Listen more lighthearted things, best,

Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
Final half hour of the radio program of the week.
And that means we push things away a little bit.
No big story in the press box, no major, deep
kind of you know, heavy topics being discussed. It's just
kind of a little a little bit of a chance
to relax. It's kind of like it's like four pm

(01:18:21):
on a Friday for us, you know, like everyone clocks
off at five, right, but like from four to five
on a Friday, Like, let's let's be honest, like that's
the that's a chill time. That's what this half hour
is for us, a little bit more of a chill time.
And so with that, we've got the best and worst

(01:18:41):
of the week. So Jose, I'll let you go first.
What are your best and worst of the week. I'm
looking forward to.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
Well, my best of the week is you know, I've
been I've been being blissed by God, you know what.
He's been answering my prayers. I don't deserve it, but
he has been. And it's it's been great, you know,

you know all week, you know, with the news and
God allowing me to speak uh life into people.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
So it's been great. When did Preston tell you that
you were going to do the news today?

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
I believe it was like a day ago.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Yeah, it was. It was it yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:19:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:32):

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Well I think you did great. Yeah, thank you, sir. Yeah,
it was it was Newsy, You're stuck to the facts.
It was. It was very very good, you know, for
your first go round. Heck, yeah, man, that was great.

Speaker 13 (01:19:51):
Good.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
Yes, my best and worst of the week. I kind
of have to I think my best would be, you know,
getting into come and do this, you know, my best,
you know, because this is fun. I get to see Jose,
I get to get everything off my chest. This is
a really like great it is a really great time.
And Jose was telling me in the break like can

(01:20:12):
you make time just slow down a little bit, because
that's how it goes. When when you know you come
in here and you sit sometimes like in the producer's seat,
there can be days that sorry, oh man, today really
did fly by. Some days it's maybe a little slower maybe,

(01:20:32):
but in the produce in the in the host's chair,
Preston's chair where I'm sitting, it only flies by here
like what there's only one speed full speed so my
best of the week being able to come and be here. Uh.
My worst of the week. This is a little little personal.
I mean, I got food poisoning last weekend, so that

(01:20:53):
was really unfortunate. It's just it was it wasn't fun.
I got don't really, I'll spare you. It's because it
wasn't fun. But that hat that was far and away.
I'm thinking about what was the worst thing about my
week this week? I had a pretty good week. No,

(01:21:13):
actually it started off pretty rough. Actually yeah, so yeah,
best and worst of the week. Uh, always a fun
time being able to break that down. But we've got
good news coming up next. This is one I mean,
those of you who know me know I love history. Uh,
and this is a history related good news segment. I

(01:21:37):
thought it was pretty cool forty minutes after the hour
here in the morning show.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
My news Radio one point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
One of my related to good news, one of my
personal projects, just like pet project that I love doing.
I love love learning about history. I love just being
immersed in something that is rooted. It's such a those
who know me know it's such a part of my
personality too. But this good news story is related to

(01:22:37):
rather than how the modern zeitgeist treats history of just
you know, a crumbling civilization. Right, this good news story
bucks at that trend. A German town reconstructed a fifty
five hundred year old monument lifting three tons of stone.

(01:23:00):
So this town, it is a Neolithic burial site in Kusterberg,
located in the German state of Saxony on Halt in
one of their remote forests. There dates back to the
time of Stonehenge. This old, old, you know, Neolithic structure.

(01:23:20):
It was first excavated in twenty ten, like they didn't
discover it until, like, you know, fifteen years ago. Based
on archaeological finds, the excavation team from then was able
to determine the first use date of around thirty six
hundred BC. During the transition from the Bronze to the
Iron Age. However, some of the large and there's nineteen

(01:23:44):
of them orthostots or standing stones were disturbed. I mean,
it's thousands of years of decay and falling apart until
a project was dreamt up by the Saxony on Halt
State Office of Monument Preservation to rebuild the original structure

(01:24:04):
to mark the European Day of megalithic culture an annual
holiday on the last Sunday in April, so this was just,
you know, a few weeks ago. With the help of
locals from the town. Armed with an excavator, archaeologists directed
the reassembly of the thirteen of the nineteen stones, with
thirteen tons worth of granite capstones, enclosing the burial bit.

(01:24:27):
Sixteen megaliths ringed the burial chamber, spaced six and a
half feet apart, and these were also returned, as were
the shards of stone that covered the burial chamber floor.
In the space between the megalists and the ensemble was
ringed by an earthen mound, which archaeologicists archaeologists suspect was

(01:24:51):
built with dirt taken from a nearby hill. So this
is in the town of Cousterberg, and you can see
the photo here, and I mean it it's definitely like
Stonehenge esque. It's not as large as Stonehenge. Stonehenge is
like very tall, right, So I've never been there, but
I mean, obviously I've seen people standing next to a Stonehenge.

(01:25:13):
These are massive stones. These are huge. These are a
little bit more human sized, but still incredibly heavy. And
the reconstruction is intended to inspire visitors with enthusiasm for
the region and its long history. And there's a network
of megalithic culture kind of organizations in Europe that connect
this place to Stonehenge To. I think these things are

(01:25:36):
so wildly cool and wildly fascinating, especially when you start
to consider the Preston's talked about it on air, like
the haunted Cosmos type stuff, like what were these Neolithic
structures used for in terms of like ancient religion where
it tracks in the Bible. There are lots of things

(01:25:57):
here that it's so deep and so wide, these myths,
these legends of our own history. And I think it's
really cool that they found this in relatively recent years,
they reconstructed it, and they got it in basically you know,
working museum order, which I think is really cool. That's
good news in my book. We're forty five, forty six

(01:26:20):
minutes after the hour here on the Morning Show, Dad
Joke in the Babylon Bee Headlines from the Bee coming
up next. I'm Grant Allen Today at three o'clock, by

out your religion and wears it as a skin suit.
They do this with your hometown, they do this with
