Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Boy, oh boy. Welcome to Tuesday and welcome to July.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty four
oh five. He's Oaseiah, I'm Preston, and let's get started.
Our verse today comes from one John four nine. It says,
in this what we're about to share in this, the

(00:28):
love of God was made manifest among us. So what
is that? What is the this? What was the act
that made manifest God's love for us? That God sent
his only son into the world so that we might
live through him. You know, I I as I flip

(00:54):
through YouTube because of the things that I look up,
some of the algorithm feeds me certain videos, and one
thread of those videos is made up of people that

(01:14):
are witnessing to other people. They're sharing the gospel in
very difficult circumstances. And as I watch people that oftentimes
are very hostile to the sharing of the gospel because
a lot of these people go into places that they

(01:36):
don't want to hear it, they don't want to be
quote judged. One of the things that stands out, first
of all, there's almost always somebody in the area that's
there for whatever the rally cause is, and they're standing

(01:57):
near somebody who's being very vocally violent towards the sharing
of the gospel, But there's usually somebody more than one,
but oftentimes at least one that's just taking it in.
It's just listening. And I always think to myself, seeds
being planted there. There is some seed being planted there.

(02:26):
But the retorts, the insults, the responses, the reactions always
remind me that the things of God make no sense
until you become a Christian. They just don't it. This

(02:51):
very scripture that God sent his only son into the
world to someone who's not a Christian, that's like, what,
what are you talking about? It makes no sense. But
once you come to grips with your own sin and

(03:16):
how utterly impossible it is to reconcile yourself back to
God to a place of righteousness without the help of
someone forgiving you of all your sins. Until you come

(03:36):
to that realization, it's just gibberish. But once you come
to that realization, it's like a light bulb goes off
in the darkest room possible and it just illuminates everything
all of a sudden, All of those things in that
room that were hidden by darkness, you see them and

(04:04):
you get it. Oh, there's a chair there. Oh wow,
look there's a lamp over in that corner. I can
light up the room even better. Wooh, look at that
kitchen table full of food. You didn't see it because
there was darkness. That kitchen table full of food. That's
the goodness of God, that's the word of God. That's

(04:25):
everything being opened up to you. Because that light has
gone off, it just starts to make sense. Doesn't happen
overnight for some, it happens pretty quickly, but it's the
beginning of that process. And so the simplicity of this scripture.

(04:47):
How do we know God loves us? Because perhaps the
most historically proven person ever to walk the earth, Jesus Son, came, lived, died,
defeated the grave, and now sits at the right hand

(05:09):
of the Father. That's how God's love was made manifest
that we could come to him through Christ. Ten past
the hour. Just about twelve past the hour, July first,

(05:35):
seventeen seventy six, Caesar Rodney makes his overnight ride from Dover, Delaware,
to Philadelphia, who he was a well to do planter
who served in Delaware's legislature, led protests against the stamp tax,
organized patriot militia. Before being elected to the Continental Congress,

(05:59):
suffered from asthma, had skin cancer, but boy, oh boy,
he received an urgent message on July first from Philadelphia.
Congress was ready to vote on the issue of independence,
and he rode through the night, through thunder and rain,
covered eighty miles to Philadelphia. The next day, the delegates

(06:23):
heard hoof beats on the cobblestones, and a mud spattered
Rodney strode into the hall, still wearing his spurs, exhausted
but ready to break the tie and the state's delegation
by voting for independence. Bet you didn't know that name,
Caesar Rodney. Come on. Eighteen sixty three, three day Battle

(06:47):
of Gettysburg begins. Makes me want to watch the movie.
I might do that. Eighteen seventy four, the Zoological Society
of Philadelphia opens the first US Zoo. Eighteen ninety eight
Spanish American War, Teddy Roosevelt and his rough Riders help
win a victory for the United States when they charge

(07:08):
up San Juan Hill in Cuba. I wonder if they
remember it as fondly in Cuba. I'm thinking probably not.
There may not be a monument to Teddy Roosevelt and
the rough Riders on San Juan Hill and Cuba. But
it'd be fun to go there and just like write
one down and put it on the ground. Nineteen forty one,

(07:33):
Bull of a Watch company sponsors the first TV commercial
sanctioned by the Federal Communications Commission, and in nineteen seventy
one to twenty sixth Amendment lowering the voting age to
eighteen is ratified mistake. Anyway, it's not a mistake when
you consider you can serve in the armed services, you
should be allowed to vote. But you know what I mean. Anyway,

(07:57):
that segment on the Bull of a Watch made me
remember one of the funniest little lines I'd ever heard.
Old timers listening, you remember the timex watch commercials. Timex
watch takes a licking and keeps on ticking. And they

(08:18):
would do these commercials where a watch would be found
at the bottom of a mountain, or found in the ocean,
or found who knows where, having been abused. But look
at that the sweep secondhand is still moving, which shows
that timex watch takes a licking but keeps on ticking.

(08:39):
I think it was George Carlin occasionally profane, but still
one of the cleverest best comedians ever. George Carlin recounted
all of those examples of watches being found in the
most ridiculous places, and he said, you know, the moral
of the story is TIMEX makes a great watch, but

(09:00):
he watch bands because they fall off everyone's rest and
end up at the bottom of bounce otions and who
knows where. I thought that was great National Postal Worker Day,
So mail delivery people, thank you for enduring the dogs
and everything else. National US Postage Stamp Day, which, by

(09:23):
the way, the cost of stamps is going up next week,
just saying I bought all of my Christmas stamps yesterday.
I had to go to the post office, so I said,
you know what, stamp prices are going up, let me
just go ahead and grab my Christmas stamps for all
the cards my wife mails out now. So I did

(09:44):
save myself some money. Got some other stamps too. They
had a really cool manatee stamp, and I knew my
wife would love that because she's swum with the manatees
and amanate hugged her. I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.
The photos are incredible. U they manity came to her.
Can't do anything about it. She didn't. National Creative ice

(10:06):
Cream Flavors Day, okay, and National Ginger Snap Day. Ginger
is an underrated You don't appreciate how much you like
ginger until you have it after not having it for
a while. Like a gingerbread cookie, they are so good
when you have one after not having one. It's like

(10:29):
at the holidays ginger snap, I mean gingerbread, ginger snap whatever.
They're incredible. A little bite to them, a little little spice.
All right, seventeen past the hour, come back with a
did you know?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And more?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Did you know? I'm faithfully using a book that my
sons gave me for my birthday. Here they wanted inclusion
on the program. They were like, Dad, maybe you can
use this book in a segment in your show, you know.
And okay, you want a little little piece of the

(11:29):
morning show pie, huh huh, all right, we'll wedge out
a little slice for you. So I've got this book
Interesting Facts for Curious Minds fifteen and seventy two Random Facts.
This is the answer to one of to me, the
great questions in all of sports. Who started the wave?

(11:55):
It's like I know there's not an answer to what
I'm about to ask. I always want to know. I've
wanted to know who started this process of some sideline
flunky squeezing water into the mouth of an athlete. Why
can't they do it themselves? Now I know the answer
to it. The answer is, and long before COVID, we

(12:18):
don't want water bottles being shared, and guys don't always
follow the rules. They put their mouth all over ah
and drink the water and then someone else is putting
their mouth all over it and they get that guy's
germs or whatever. Right, it happened long before that. I
don't think it was so much a hygiene thing as

(12:38):
just somebody on the sideline, one of the water boys
and water girls or whatever, just goes squirt and somebody
was the first. I'd love to know who that was.
But the first person to do the wave is credited
as doing the wave is a professional cheerleader, Crazy George
Henderson at an Oakland A's baseball game in the playoffs

(12:58):
in October of nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
One.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
So October fifteenth, nineteen eighty one is the first documented
wave at a professional sporting event. I love the wave
and I hate the wave. I hate it because too
many people don't know the right time to do it.

(13:26):
There's a time and a place for the wave. But anyway,
so there you go. There's your answer. October fifteen, nineteen
eighty one. Crazy George Henderson, professional cheerleader, Oakland, A's speaking
of sports. I came with it a whisker of having
the director of the Jim Thorpe documentary that's going to

(13:51):
be on the History Channel, Jim Thorpe, Lit by Lightning.
It is Monday, eight o'clock Eastern, seven o'clock Central on
History Channel. It's the story of Jim Thorpe. If you
don't know the story of Jim Thorpe, it is one
of the most fascinating biographies in American sports history. Jim

(14:15):
Thorpe was a Native American Indian who led the Carlisle
Indian School football team. Became a two time Olympic gold
medalist in nineteen twelve, was stripped for lost his medals

(14:39):
because they found out that he played professional baseball. He's
in the NFL Hall of Fame. I believe it's the
Canton Bulldogs. So a professional football player, professional baseball player,
Gold medalist in track lost his medals. A lot of

(15:00):
people think it wasn't so much that he was a
professional baseball player, got the medals reinstated thirty years after
he died, but because of racism. But I mean, you know,
if you're a professional in another sport, it shouldn't affect you.
In the pentathlon and the decathlon. I believe that those

(15:21):
were the two gold medals. But one of the single
greatest athletes in American history, Jim Thorpe. And that's a
show I cannot wait to see. I'm privileged to have
a screener. History Channel sent me a link so I
can watch it before Monday. Don't think I won't. I'm

(15:46):
definitely gonna watch it twenty seven minutes after the hour
come Back and the Big Stories in the press Box
are coming up next The Morning Show with Preston Scott
thirty five pass Big Stories in the press Box. Governor

(16:08):
signs the budget just in the nick of time. Had
to have it signed by July first, or else I
don't know what happens. And so it got signed yesterday.
One hundred and seventeen point four billion, just under three

(16:31):
three five hundred and seventy million in line item vetos
fifteen point seven billion in reserves, Rainy Day Fund at
a record high four point nine billion dollars. Here's what
I think is fascinating. And you talk about a model

(16:51):
for the nation. Right. All of this is precipitated by
the fact that we have a balanced budget requirement have
to have one, and we've had fiscal responsibility. The budget

(17:12):
includes eight hundred and thirty million funding for Florida's Accelerated
Debt Repayment program. The investment enables the state this year
to pay off nearly fifty percent of Florida's tax supported
debt accrued since statehood, totally more than seven point three
billion retired since twenty seven point three billion retired debt

(17:34):
since twenty nineteen, And to ensure the fiscal discipline continues,
the budget includes a provision requiring a minimum of a
quarter of a billion dollars of debt repayment annually until
it's paid off. That's how you do it. How much

(17:56):
money do we have, Okay, how much money do we
have to pay on debt? Okay? How much do we
need for reserves? Okay? Rainy Day Fund? Okay? What's left?
That's what we can spend because isn't that how you
do yours? Isn't that how you do your budget? Okay,

(18:20):
I have to pay this, I have to pay this,
I have to pay this. I'm saving, I'm paying my tithes. Okay,
what's left And you know, for many its tithes come first.
You know, that's the first thing you pay. But you
get my point. You take care of your obligations, and
then what's left over there you go. Love it, absolutely

(18:46):
love it. Second big story, and this one will require
a little bit of time. Next hour, CNN is for
some reason promoting a new app called ice Block. CNN's
out there promoting it on their shows. It allows users
to submit ice sightings and alert those within a five

(19:10):
mile radius. I'll let you listen to the discussion on
CNN and a brief little chat with the creator of it,
who thinks he's doing a good thing. And the final

(19:33):
big story here, Trump says he's got a buyer for TikTok.
He said, China's got to approve. I'm not sure. I mean,
I guess China has to proved because what it's owned
by China. I mean that in and of itself just
sort of settles. It doesn't it. Trump says he's got

(19:53):
some wealthy people he will not name. He said, he'll
tell you in two weeks. He appeared on Sunday Morning
Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News. They were discussing
tariff's trade and then he said he's got we have
a buyer. He said, we have a buyer. We've specified

(20:15):
the potential new owners would be a group of very
wealthy people. Trump wants to preserve TikTok because he leveraged it.
He used it to help win. He got to young people.
Thank you, Baron. Baron said, Dad, get on TikTok. He did,
I get it. But there's not a chance that. How

(20:36):
is it that this that suddenly it's going to be
safe to use and not going to send intel over
to China. I know it's possible, they have to reconfigure,
cut the ties and all that. So why would China
give this up? I don't know. He thinks. He seems
to think President g will do it. We'll see. Forty
minutes past the hour, more into the One Big Beautiful

(20:59):
Bill next on News Radio one hundred point seven, double USLA.

(21:23):
All right, the Senate is uh full of landmines. For
the bill. Before we get into some specifics, I just
I wanted to share the relationship between Trump and Musk
is getting ugly again. You know, presidents using social media

(21:49):
try to put pressure on Congress if they don't pass it.
It's a sixty eight percent tax increase, largest in history.
Tom Tillers ran Paul our nose. They can't lose another one.
They can lose, well, they can lose three. But jd
Vance is their ace up the sleeve. A lot of amending,

(22:14):
a lot of meetings, a lot of back and forth.
Musk took to social media lashing out of Republicans, calling
it the porky pig Party because they're raising the debt
limit by five trillion. I don't know that they don't

(22:35):
have a choice. The way that our debts are structured,
they have to have room to restructure debt and that
and I mean, look, I don't like any of this,
and we should have been ahead of it. And that's
not the fault of Trump. That's the fault of the
House in the Senate. But that said, this is the

(22:59):
downside of Trump. Listen to his response on social elon
Musk knew long before he so strongly endorsed me for
president that I was strongly against the ev mandate. It
is ridiculous and was always a major part of my campaign.
And I'm completely in agreement here with what Trump's about
to say. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should
be forced to own one boom. I agree. Then he

(23:21):
adds this, Elon may get more subsidy than any human
being in history by far. Without subsidies, Elon would probably
have to close up shop and head back home to
South Africa. No more rocket launches, satellites or electric car production,
and our country would save a fortune. Upper case. Perhaps
we should have dose take a good hard look at
this big money to be saved. They can't help themselves,

(23:53):
they just can't. I agree with a lot of what
Trump said there. I don't agree with the well, I
guess we're just going to use government to attack somebody
who's critical of me. I stop it. And there may
be some of you that think that's just all fine
and well. I don't. I just but but that's what
we get with Trump. I'm staring at his bibblehead right here,

(24:16):
arms crossed. That's what you get. You get a remarkably
capable man who's completely capable of acting like a child
at times, and it's unfortunate the Senate's hammering away at
this thing. They have to explain why they have to

(24:38):
increase the debt the tax cuts making them permanent. That's
a no brainer. The mistake has been made in putting
that all together with a bunch of other stuff. You've
got the Senate parliamentarian saying, oh, now, this has to

(24:58):
be sixty votes up. That has to sixty votes out.
That has to be sick and it's just it's a
train wreck. They're not eliminating taxes on Social Security, but
they're increasing the deduction in the Senate. The Senate obviously
the version would extend this to the tax cuts and
keep them permanent. Reduce taxes on overtime, on car loans,

(25:27):
on tips. That's a temporary measure. They would have to
come back in a couple of years and codify that permanently.
But it's a test immigration, border security, defense, Clean energy
tax credits are being cut. It should be. If you

(25:52):
want to buy an electric car, buy it, but don't
make me subsidize you buying it, because it's it's it's
a loss leader. I'm sorry. Electric cars don't make sense.
They just don't. They might be cool and trendy, but
when you have to replace those batteries, you're gonna come
back to me and say, ooh didn't know, Yes you did.

(26:15):
I told you. There's other adjustments in here, but it's
the debt ceiling increase of five trillion. It's like, oh, jeez,
here we go. More to come on all this forty
seven past the I'll give you the White House response
to all of this next. Now, look at that Angeley

(26:42):
her Heart and the camera crew from Fox visiting the
Arc encounter. Been there, done that. It's been a while.
They've got the zoo now. They didn't have the zoo
open when I was there. It was coming. But yeah,
it's pretty cool if you've not been there. All right.

(27:06):
The President has responded he's on a pr blitz to
try to get this bill of the finish line. And
I get it. It's look, he doesn't have the margins
in the House of the Senate to really really do
what needs to be done. We have many too many
members of the House that are they put their finger

(27:30):
in their mouth, wet their finger and hold it up
and see which way the wind's blowing, and then you've
got in the Senate, you just don't have the numbers.
You've got senators like Markowski and Collins that are Collins
is the most conservative person you're going to ever get

(27:57):
out of the state of Maine. I think it is
just not going to get anybody more conservative. That's what
you get. So the fact you got a Republican there,
what it really means is you got to pick up
some Republicans elsewhere that have the right mindset. Susan Collins
is reliable seventy seventy five percent of the time. Lisa Mkowski,
I think she's worse. But that said, Trump is out there,

(28:20):
and I wanted to zero in on this. This is
from Trump's White House. I'm on the press release list,
so I get the press releases from the White House.
Debt to GDP falls to ninety four percent by twenty
twenty by twenty thirty four under Trump plan, compared to
one hundred and seventeen percent under Biden's failed path. Primary

(28:43):
deficits flipped to surpluses by twenty thirty four under Trump's
economic agenda. If how long is Trump going to be president?
Is he gonna be president till twenty thirty four, No
he's not. There's the problem taking this budget and saying

(29:05):
if we do this till twenty thirty four, then that
he's got three and a half years. Then it's up
to what whoever comes up next. What's that budget going
to leak? And that's the problem. If we have a

(29:26):
constitutional amendment that anchors the budget and says you must
have one and it must be balanced, this problem gets solved,
not completely, because there are those that would balance the
budget by just simply crushing you with taxes. It would
define what wealthy means. Guess what someone making minimum wage?

(29:51):
You know what wealthy is fifty thousand a year, sixty
seventy thousand to somebody making sixty sevent a year. You
know what's wealthy probably one hundred, one hundred and twenty.
You know, you see where I'm going. It's all relative
to the circumstances you find yourselves in to define what
it is. And that's why I believe in the fair tax.

(30:17):
I believe in everybody contributes something. I understand the rule
that some Democrats, if you explain it to them, a
reasonable Democrat will go, Okay, that's fair. The ridiculous let's
just print more money. Democrats in the liberals they don't care,

(30:41):
but it's businesses don't pay taxes, and that's a part
of tax policy as well. Always fun gathered together, you know,

(31:03):
I explain this to people. There's a fascination to radio.
I will tell you that quote. Back in the day,
it was it was more interesting than it is now.
On the music side. The music side, the shows were live,

(31:26):
and I mean you had people in and out of
the studio all day long and everything was live, and
so there was just there was just a freshness to
it that good radio personalities can still achieve even though
they're voice tracking. It's just different. But what I do

(31:52):
is fun because we are live. Unless we're doing the
Twelve Days of Preston, we're live every day. And what
I love about it, I came to understand this through
the lens of what I love in terms of my life.
I love sports, and so this is like any sporting event, football, baseball, basketball,

(32:14):
You've got a time limit, you've got a structure. But
inside of that structure, like let's just use football, it's
a sixty minute game. Right inside the structure, every single
game is different. It's just different. What happens within those
lines and within that time boundary changes every single time.

(32:35):
And that's what I live with and that's what I love.
Every single day is different. I have three hours, that's
my game. It's a three hour game, but inside those
three hours it changes all the time. For example, I
had a friend of the program send me this note.

(32:57):
He's a longtime news guy, press photographer, Associated Press as
well as worked with Gannett for years. He said, I
cannot believe The New York Times printed this even in
two thousand and seven. Listen. It has become increasingly popular
to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength,

(33:17):
from multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders. The message
is the same, our differences make us stronger. But a
massive new study based on detailed interviews of nearly thirty
thousand people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard
political scientist Robert Putnam, famous for Bowling Alone, is two
thousand book on declining civic engagement, has found that the

(33:40):
greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote,
and the less they volunteer, the less they give to
charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities,
neighbors trust one another about half as much as they
do in the most homogeneous settings. The study, the largest
ever done on civic engagement in America, found that virtually

(34:01):
all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.
In that fascinating. First of all, I think it's easy
to explain. This is a result of the insistence that

(34:22):
we cannot be a colorblind society. This is a result
of not mandating that people assimilate into the culture that
is America. When you have people that have lived in
this country for twenty years that don't speak the language,

(34:45):
you have a problem. You have a significant problem. And
it's not just a problem for the people. It's a
problem for the country. And it's not just a problem
for the country. It's a problem for those people because
they're limitted by their their language barrier. Their language barrier
creates cultural barriers, and so you don't have the ability

(35:13):
to assimilate people into one culture. And so the insistence
on maintaining all this ethnic divide is is to me
the problem from a multi from from multi cultural perspective.

(35:38):
The more you maintain those silos, the more disconnected we
are as a culture. The reality now you've got Trump
suing the city of Los Angeles because their sanctuary policies
are a threat to the citizens of this of the community.

(36:02):
So the federal governments having to sue the city. You're
impeding our efforts to deal with illegal immigrants that are
criminals in your community. And as such, you are treating
our workers and citizens of this country that are legally
rightfully citizens. You're treating them and discriminating against them. They're
having to file a civil rights basically as civil rights

(36:25):
type case against the City of Los Angeles. And where
does this all stem. It stems from our unwillingness to
simply say, we're not going to admit people based on race.
We're not going to admit people based on any preferences,
any preferential treatment, preferences of any kind. Everyone. We're going

(36:47):
to just do blind surveys here. We don't care. We
don't care whether you're this, that or the other, you're
male or female. That's it. You know, it's just it's insane,
But it's so explainable. Just considered. This was from the
New York Times in two thousand and seven, and look
where we are in just eighteen years eleven passed the
hour follow up to yesterday's story on longevity. Yesterday on

(37:19):
the program, we talked about Stanford expert doctor David Furman,
who reversed his biological age by ten years by moving
his family and he to the wilderness minimalist cabin started

(37:43):
foraging for food, lived immersed themselves in the outdoors, and
we talked about a concept called forest bathing. Now here's
where the emails started to come in. The magic number
is two hours a week in a park, at a beach,
in a forest, et cetera. Two hours. And the question

(38:08):
came because it wasn't clear in the article. Can that
two hours be done fifteen minutes at a time, a
half hour at a time, an hour at a time,
or does it have to be two hours a week
immersed at one time in forest bathing. It doesn't have
to be a forest. It can be a park, it

(38:29):
can be your backyard. More on that in a few moments.
So I looked it up. I looked up the study
because that's what I do. I got emails and I said, well,
let me see if I can find out. So I
found the study and University of Exeter and that was
in the article. They had two years worth of data

(38:50):
on twenty thousand people and it was published in the
journal Scientific Reports. Two hours a week is the number,
and it can be broken up into shorter segments over
seven days. So, for example, the lead researcher in this said,

(39:16):
you can go for a walk for two hours on
a Sunday, or you could go for four lots of
thirty minute walks during lunchtime during the week. It didn't
matter where in nature you went. It could be a beach,
it could be an urban park, it could be a woodland.
So you can break it up. But here's the key.

(39:37):
Sixty minutes nothing, ninety minutes nothing, no benefit for whatever reason.
Two hours is the number. A minimum of two hours
or more one hundred and twenty minutes or more is
the key. And of course, with the reducing of one's

(40:02):
biological clock by ten years, that came with changing eating habits,
that unplugging from a lot of the distractions that creep
in on screen time, it came with some other things,
but there was no doubting the benefits of just being
out in nature. So there you go. There's the answer

(40:26):
to the question. It doesn't have to be two hours
at once. It can be broken up. You're welcome sixteen
minutes past the hour. More on how to maybe make
this work in your own backyard.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
UFLA on your phone with the iHeartRadio app, and on
hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox and Sonos.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Soon yes, and Ihearts Radio station. I can't tell you
how long I've held onto this. This goes back? Can

(41:09):
I even determine? Yes, this goes back more than a year.
This is in my pile of stories called evergreen. I
have a stack of stories, probably more than you ever
want to know about radio that I have clipped together

(41:29):
that I refer to as evergreen, meaning it doesn't age.
I can pull it out and use it whenever I want.
I can make it topical whenever I want. Maybe it's
a slow news day. Maybe I'm just in the mood
in this case talking about the nature thing. I thought, Okay,
here's an opportunity to use this story. And here's the

(41:51):
headline of the story, Backyard Aromatherapy, How to design a
fragrant garden. If you look, I'm a practical guy. Am
I likely to get in my car and go to
a park somewhere and sit or walk around huh huh.

(42:12):
I'm not. Will I walk on a beach if my
wife is with me and she wants to go for
a walk on the beach, which she always does, Yes,
I will walk on the beach. Will I sit on
the beach? No. Will I look at a beach from
a balcony at a beautiful hotel or condo or something, Yes,

(42:33):
I will stare at the ocean endlessly from the comfort
of an air conditioned room or a balcony where I
can open the door and get air conditioning out to
my balcony. Sorry, that's just that's the way it is.
I'm practical. But my backyard is my is my sanctuary,
my yard, and so we have tried, over the years

(42:58):
of owning our home to be very, very thoughtful about
our yard. We have a space that is a butterfly garden.
I've shared that with you. It's very fragrant, not as
fragrant as the rose garden that we have, but we
have we have plants everywhere around our property that have

(43:22):
a purpose. I have a little spot in my yard
You're gonna laugh at me that I refer to as
kind of like my homage to Israel. It's got a
stool that's made of these massive, massive stone with steel
legs that are welded onto the basically welded together custom

(43:46):
fabricated that are then you know, cemented and anchored into
this massive stone. And it's right next to an olive tree.
It's just one part part of our overall landscape that
is just set aside for that purpose. It's just there
and it makes me happy. There are ways for you

(44:13):
to landscape your yard and you don't have to have
a lot of it. You don't have to have a
lot of yard. You don't have to have a lot
of quote landscaping. It's a pet thing that I love doing.
I've been working with my son and his home in
creating a garden that's Asian inspired, that has plants and

(44:37):
flowers and a setting that's very tranquil because he enjoys that.
He doesn't have a large lot at all. It's a
small place, small little backyard, but he can create an
incredible place there with just a little running water and
the right plants. And I've loved helping him with that.

(45:00):
But you know, if you pick the right plants and
one thing I'll point out, we are going to be
starting back a garden feature. Soon we're going to do
it twice a month on Fridays. It will be in
place of the Best and the Worst twice a month
with Ralph Esposito of Esposito's Garden Center and just talk

(45:28):
about our yards and how to help you be successful
in your landscaping, your lawn, your garden, whatever. But if
you find plants that have us a great fragrance, they'll
be great for pollinators. And we need bees. We need them.

(45:48):
You need them if you have fruit trees. They were
for example mint. If you plant mint, it repels pests.
It reduces your need for pesticide. By the way, if
you have a swimming pool and you have spiders that
anchor themselves in the corners, peppermint water spray, they hate it.

(46:10):
They hate it. Clear the webs out spray with peppermint.
You're done. It's just better. There are. You can create
little fragrance pockets in your garden, up your sidewalk backyard
when you go out, position them so they're not down
wind but upwind where they blow, where the prevailing breeze,

(46:31):
where you have seating and so forth. My point in
bringing all of this up is that when you add
these two stories together. God created nature, and Scripture says
that He is revealed in it. I have flowers that

(46:51):
I look at and I look at the butterflies that
are attracted by them, and they're hummingbirds, and I think
to myself, Oh yeah, there's a God. This incredible. I mean,
the detail in this flower is just amazing. And smell
that my roses unbelievable. I'm just telling I don't like perfume.

(47:14):
I love the smell of roses. So you can do
this in your own yard and create a space that
gets you out in nature and gets you your two
hours a week where you just start feeling better. Twenty
seven almost twenty eight minutes after the hour. Come back
with the Big Stories in the press Box next year
in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Big Stories in the press Box. The Senate faces hurdles
in passing the one big Beautiful Bill. I sound like
a broken record. We all feel like a broken record.
This is just how just screwed up and divorced from

(48:19):
common sense our government is at this point. It's not
a beautiful bill, It's a big bill. It has to
be passed because it's not perfect, but it's going to
get the tax bracket where it at least we can breathe.

(48:41):
It's going to continue investment in the country. It's going
to create cash flow, which creates the best opportunity for
us to then lower the debt and no longer have
deficit spending. It's going to take too long. I'm not
remotely satisfied with where we are here, and I feel

(49:06):
as though even Trump has not done enough to explain
how we're going to get from where we are now
to paying our debt down sooner than nine years. Nine
years is too long. We can't do this. We will
default on our debts, can't do it. The entire way

(49:35):
that we go about funding our government is just broken
and wrong. And you know what, when the flat tax
was introduced, there were very few members of Congress that
knew this was coming. They knew it. The founders knew it.
That when you hand the checkbook over to the people,

(49:58):
you're in trouble and you can't you can't. You can't
do what we've done. We've done it, so now it's
just about getting out of it. Anyway. The President says
he's got a buyer for TikTok. He's not telling us
who he said. In a couple of weeks he will quoting.
I think I'll need China approval, but I think President

(50:19):
g will probably do it. That's That's Trump's way. He
just throws it out there. CNN, I gotta, I gotta.
I'm gonna take a minute for this story. So let
me just let me pause that story because I got

(50:41):
to get to this app You got to hear this
on CNN. Florida's governor signs the bill that the budget
rather that that he's got a line item veto that
removed just under five hundred and seventy million dollars from it.
It comes in at totally comes in at one hundred
and seventeen point four billion. Compare that to New York.

(51:11):
It puts more money in reserves, it pays down more debt.
We've retired seven point three billion dollars of debt since
twenty seventeen. Look, Rick Scott did a great job reducing
our debt. We're continuing that path. We're doing what the
nation should be doing. And guess what, we use a

(51:33):
consumption tax. We have excess money because we use a
consumption tax. Imagine all of the foreigners that come to
this country on vacation spend money here. If we had

(51:54):
a fair tax that when anybody goes to the stores
and buy stuff, they're pitching in. And they should because
they're using our infrastructure, so it should be Florida is
the perfect model. Forty minutes after the.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Album, Morning Show and.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
This is crazy. This is a story from town Hall.
CNN is pushing out this app. They're making people aware
that this app exists. They're advertising on their news. It's
called ice Block. It is meant to track ice activity

(53:02):
in real time, alerting illegals before they are detained and deported.
It is a free app. It is anonymous so that
you can give tips anonymously. Listen to CNN.

Speaker 7 (53:14):
The Trump administration steps up ice raids and mass deportations.
One tech developer is pushing back with an app designed
to track ice activity in real time. It's called ice Block,
and it's controversial, to say the least. Santa Claire Duffy
is with us. Now, how does this work, Claire and
what are the legal implications?

Speaker 8 (53:35):
Yeah, John, I talked with Joshua Aaron, who is the
longtime tech worker who developed this platform, and he said
he really wants it to be an early warning system
for people about the location of immigrations and customs enforcement officers.
So he says he does not want people interfering with
those officers' activity, but he does want people to be
able to avoid them altogether if they want. So you

(53:56):
open the app, it looks like a map, and users
can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in
their area, and then everybody who uses the platform within
five miles of that siting will get a push alert.
This is a free iPhone app, it is anonymous. Aeron
says he doesn't collect any user data. And what I
think is really interesting about this in this moment is
we've seen so many of the biggest leaders in tech

(54:18):
supporting President Trump, but Aaron is sort of an example
of the fact that there are people within the tech
industry who are really resistant to Trump's policies. I asked
him what he would say to those tech leaders who,
for example, were at the inauguration. Here's what he told me.
Take a listen.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
I understand that you have shareholders to report to you.
I understand that you have employees that need their paychecks,
But at what point do you say enough.

Speaker 8 (54:45):
Is enough, and John I should say that I did
not respond when I asked them about this platform and
about Aaron's opposition to their activity.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
How is it that he's not been arrested? How is
it that CNN, for that matter, has not been uh
asked by the FCC. What are you doing? You're aiding
and abetting illegals. This is exactly what the right wing

(55:19):
would describe as the comedy boy, uh, the commy soy boy,
the guy behind this app. Oh, I understand you have
I understand you have shareholders, but at what point, whatever, dude,
you're breaking the law. And then CNN, it's I share

(55:42):
this because I'm just I'm wondering how many of you
still watch and rely on CNN? Why would you support
that with your eyeballs? I can't think of the last
time I tuned in to see it. Then I will

(56:04):
have people send me sound bites. I'll come across soundbites
like this, but man, no, thank you. Forty six minutes
past the Hour, got a Manly Minute and more next
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Time for another edition of a Manly Minute.

(56:33):
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is
where we share thoughts, ideas, skills, virtues, mindsets. To share
with your son so that he is one of those
those young men that the ladies will have an eye
on because they're a man. That's just a male man,

(56:59):
because you're male by birth, but you're a man by choice.
In keeping with the week, teach your son about the
fourth of July, what it's all about. Maybe take a
moment and, oh, I don't know, read through the Declaration

(57:21):
of Independence, point out why this nation was born. Take
advantage of the opportunity. You know, we talk about how
at Memorial Day it's not just about burghers and dogs,
it's about remembering the men and women who have died
serving this nation in our armed forces. In a like way,

(57:46):
July fourth is more than just hamburgers and hot dogs.
We'll get to that, bake beans, some chicken on the grill,
whatever it might be. This is a celebration of our
nation's independence and our founders looking across all of Europe
and saying, let's not do that. Let's not do that,
Let's not do that, let's not do that, let's not

(58:08):
do that. Let's learn from that and that and that
and that, and let's forge a better nation. And they
did from scratch, looking at the failed forms of government
all across Europe, all throughout history as it was known
at that time. And here's America. Teach your son. Teach

(58:33):
your son about America. Start the process. I don't care
how old they are. Start the process. You can even
have some fun with it. Point out that it wasn't
gonna According to John Adams, July second was going to
be the day of celebration. He didn't think it was

(58:53):
going to be July fourth, but it was July fourth.
He wrote that it would be July second, and where
the fireworks would take place and all of mankind would
remember the birth of this nation. You could have some
fun and teach that. So there's your mainly minute. Teach
your son what July fourth is all about. Start early,

(59:17):
build on it each and every year. Don't forget. And
maybe even before the meal, whether it's at the beach
or in the backyard, by it's by the pool, or
in the inside, take a moment and pray and thank
God for being born in this country. And if you're
not born in this country, if you were, if you
came to this country legally. Thank God that you're here,

(59:41):
because you know why you're here, because you left there
wherever there is. All right, it's a small thirty cents,
but it's a thirty cents that matters. The price of
your Fourth of July is down thirty cents. It's still high,

(01:00:03):
but we've reversed the bidnomics trend, which exploded during COVID
and has been worse ever since. According to the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the July fourth cookout, including cheeseburgers, pork chops, chicken, potato, salad, fruit,
ice cream, and other picnic staples for ten guests will

(01:00:23):
cost roughly seventy dollars and ninety two cents, which is
a drop of thirty cents. The price for chicken, pork chops, cheese, hamburgers,
hamburger buns, and potato chips specifically are down from twenty
twenty four. It's just a it's something. At least it's
not going up plat twoed just a little bit. By

(01:00:47):
the way, what is your meal of preference when you grill?
Do you have a specific go to? Burgers and ribs? Ribs? Ribs?
Is no small feet now because you have to. You've
got to cook those on indirect heat, low and slow.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Oh yeah, it's a must.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
So how do you so do you You put the
ribs on one side of the grill and then you
cook burgers and things on the other side. Yeah, and
sometimes in order to save some time and space.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
I'll.

Speaker 5 (01:01:20):
It just might be a little blasphemous, but I'll pre
cook it in the oven and then grill it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
What the ribs of the ribs? Oh yeah, no, that's
not I mean, everyone has their way of doing it.
It's like the best way to cook wings is to
parboil them, cook them all the way through, and then
crisp them up on a grill. That's how you do wings.
Parboil and then grill them. Oh yeah, absolutely, But man,

(01:01:49):
give me burgers and dogs. Fourth of July, I do
I'll do some chicken. Sure, I'll grill up some chicken.
I do a marinated chicken breast that my wife just
adores on the grill, the wonderful Keati grilla chicken. Theyough
pounding them out so to their level thickness. Cat Camick
is up neck five minutes past the hour only show

(01:02:23):
in Preston's got great to be Witsey Frows. It is Tuesday,
July first. Can you believe we are halfway through the year?
Goodness gracious, how did you know? Of course, now being
July first, it's Christmas shopping season in the Scott household.

(01:02:46):
This is when this is when I start paying attention
to anything and everything that's out there. But welcome to
the third hour of the Programming's Oaseiah, I'm Preston. It's
show fifty four to five and joining us a champion
US Congresswoman Cad Camick, Florida's third congressional district. Cat.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
How are you good morning, I'm doing good.

Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
How are you hey?

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
We were just talking about fourth of July. I'm doing great.
By the way, that was rude of me to just
segue into my very pressing questions here. What what does
grilling at the Camick household look like? First of all,
do you do any grilling? Does your husband do the grilling?
And if so, what would a fourth of July cookout

(01:03:31):
at the camis b.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
So I'm the baker in the family. I am not
the chef. I am not the grill master. That is
all Max domain Okay, he is more of a charcoal guy.
So he while while in the past he has used gas,
it's more of a charcoal situation for him. And he
is known for his I mean, burgers are okay, but me,

(01:03:57):
you can kind of do burgers anywhere. He is known
for his grilled chicken and steaks. And so that's what
that looks like for us. If we're doing something with
friends and family, burger sure, not really hot dog family.
But if he's feeling really fancy, he will smoke up
like a Boston butt or something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Is he using a meat thermometer or strictly by feel?

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
All by feel? He's very old school.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
And are the steaks going to be on the rare
side of medium or on the well side?

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Always on the medium side? I don't he so I
know this is a crime. I should not admit it.
I put ranch on everything. I know. I know, I know,
and it makes me frinch. It makes them cringe. In fact,
like you will hide the ranch because he says it's

(01:04:55):
a crime that I put it on steak, and I do,
and I know it's a crime. I just can't help it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
The morning show chef is walking in here and he's
wanting to slap you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
I know, I know, I'm horrible, and he is. Matt
has such a great palate. He's he's just got a
gift for And then you know how firefighters are. They're
they're whipping up amazing meals in the firehouse. Sure, Like
I said, I'm the baker in the family. I can
whip something together, no problem, cakes, breads, whatever. He has

(01:05:29):
a gift for it. His palate is great. I just
I am such a typical kid from the eighties and nineties,
you know, like spaghettios.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Are good to me, be FERRONI gotcha, gotcha, check kat?
I want to, I just I want to. I'm gonna
just put it this way. How are the last couple
of weeks? Share whatever you'd like to share about it?
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Yeah, it's been an interesting week plus I'd say maybe
ten days at this point. We shared a very personal
story that happened to us last year. Back in May
June of last year, my husband and I we found
out we were pregnant and then immediately thought we were miscarrying.

(01:06:17):
And it turned out, after ten days of doctors trying
to figure it out, that we had, unfortunately, the rarest
and most dangerous type of nixt topic pregnancy, which means
that the embryo gets stuck and can't grow. It's non viable,

(01:06:40):
there's there's not a heartbeat. And what it does, though,
is because your brain thinks that there's something there that
it's supposed to produce a hormone, so your hCG levels
continue to make it grow, and ultimately what ends up
happening is it ruptures and it causes internal bleeding. And
so it's a medical emergency just like a miscarriage, and
so many women have them, and so we kind of

(01:07:04):
came face first with the reality of what happens when
political fearmongering gets involved in healthcare. And I was rushed
into the hospital late at night. I was told by
doctors that they were hesitant because they had seen a

(01:07:24):
bunch of advertisements that they would lose their license or
go to jail. And I kept having to explain to
them both the law that was recently on the books,
and I was literally reading them the law, chapter and
verse write off my phone, and then I was also
pulling up all of the definitions of abortion. And never once,

(01:07:47):
at any point in time, has anyone ever considered treatment
for X topics or miscarriages and abortions, their emergencies. As
a person who's very pro life, you know, this was
a devastating experience and really highlighted the need for a
national conversation in our country about women's healthcare. And what

(01:08:13):
I've found over that course of a year now post
that experience is that it's virtually impossible to have that
experience without it devolving into hatred and oh, you know,
it's either pro abortion or anti abortion, and that's just
really a disservice to women and families around the country.
And we came into last week sharing that story, and

(01:08:37):
because we did, we ended up receiving a record number
of death threats. As we speak, I've got a security
detail sitting outside and unbelievable amount of death threats from
the pro abortion lobby. The liberal left is probably more
violent than I have ever seen them in my lifetime,

(01:08:59):
and it's all because I dared speak out about what
the consequences are of their rhetoric and their actions. And
my team has been threatened, my family's been threatened, we
had to evacuate our offices. It's been a rough week,
but if anything, it has given me more resolves to

(01:09:20):
fight and I know that I cannot be intimidated. I'm
going to keep speaking out for women and children and
families because I will not let the pro abortion lobbyists
and their activists dictate healthcare in this country for women
who really actually need it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Cat stand by as those of you that listen to
the program know we talked about this story last week. Cat,
your family, your staff, everybody's been in our prayers, and yeah,
you're a fighter and you're not going to get bullied
by this nonsense. And we need to make sure that
we are out there helping in our areas of influence

(01:10:01):
the people that we talk with. More with Kat Camick
thirteen past the.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
Hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio
double UFLA Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
As she mentioned, the last couple of weeks not easy
for US Congress froman Kat Cammick, her family, her staff,
I really kind of expected her to not be available
to do the segment this morning, but she's like, no, no,
we're chatting Kat. We've got a real short segment here
and then we'll have more time on the back side

(01:10:46):
of the break. But I did get a note here
from Ray that said, ranch ranch dressing. I'm changing, I'm
changing the Democrat.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
I know it's criminal. It is I trust me. It
is a fatal flaw. I know. I put it on pizza,
I put it on stake.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
It's all right, that's all right. Hey, we don't have
time for the conversation today, but let me rather than
get into the meat of that conversation you believe needs
to take place. And I don't disagree. The problem is
the conversation requires two sides of this to kind of
come together, sit down and say, hey, listen, but you

(01:11:26):
know this, the liberals don't do that. They do what
they're doing now. They resort to personal attacks, they resort
to threats of violence. How do we have that conversation?

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
You know what's been really sad is, like I said,
the violence, the threats. I have had many colleagues, predominantly Republican,
but I've had one or two Democrat colleagues come forward
and say, whenever you want to talk, we're here. Because

(01:11:58):
there are so many things that have fall through the cracks,
maternal health deserts, you know, access resources. The entire time
I was going through that experience, I kept asking that,
you know, what about families that don't have doctors, that
don't have coverage, that fall between the cracks, And so
there's a lot that we have to do. The Left

(01:12:21):
has been holding this issue hostage and have basically taken
women's health care down to a singular issue, and that's
elective abortions. And for me, that is really a disservice
to every every woman and family in the country. So
we just have to remain strong and resolute. We have
the facts on our side. We definitely have a literacy

(01:12:41):
crisis in this country because you explain that to people,
you show them the medical journals, you show them the law,
and they just say, no, I know better than all that.
And yeah, So have we have uncovered that we have
both a literacy problem in the country and we have
an entertainment problem in the country.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
Cat stand by Kat Camick with us. We've got another
segment still to come. We're going to talk about the
one big beautiful bill. I call it a big bill.
Not sure how beautiful it is, but it's something. Next
of the Morning Show final segment with US congress Woman

(01:13:26):
Kat Cammick, Florida's third congressional district talking about the one big,
beautiful bill. Kat I agree with every single thing that
Ran Paul says about this bill. I think he's been
grossly misrepresented by even a lot of people on our
side and maybe even the President. But the fact of
the matter is, we still need to pass this bill.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
This is well, and it changes by the minute. You know,
the Senate has been in a vodorama for the last
twenty two hours, and we in the House have been
watching an if. We have talked to Senator Mike Lee
and a couple of other senators here in the last
twenty four hours, and what we can confidently say is

(01:14:09):
this is not the House product that we sent over.
What the House Speaker is asking us to do is
to basically pick up whatever the Senate passes and just
pass it out of the House. Now, I personally have
a problem with that because if we are not removing
illegals off of the roles that are taking away precious

(01:14:29):
resources from American citizens, that's the problem. We're not kidding
the border, that is a problem. If we are not
defunding this radical trans surgeries on minors agenda that is
part of the bill, that's a problem. If we are
not addressing the regulatory regime and the administrative state, that

(01:14:53):
is a problem. So we're seeing a lot of different
problems that aren't getting worked out. And it all really
comes down to the fact that you have an unelected
bureaucrat the Senate parliamentarian, who has stripped out provision after provision,
and I can tell you she's being very much an
activist in this space because you look at the so

(01:15:14):
called Inflation Reduction Act, you look at the Green New Deal,
you look at the Obamacare. They all use the same
process reconciliation, and there were countless provisions where they were
clearly not Germane, but they remained in there. And so
this parliamentarian really ought to be fired. The American people

(01:15:36):
did not elect her and she should not be responsible
for determining what gets left in and what gets left
out per her political bias. So we have a lot
of work to do. We're anticipating a very, very tough week.
But again, we are Amarantha first, and that means putting
Americans first. And if we allow for illegals in this

(01:15:57):
country to stay on programs and take those resources is
away from law abiding citizens, that is a failure on
our part, and so we have a long road to go,
and it is it's bit by bit. This is a
massive package, and we're gonna just keep on doing everything
we can to advocate for the good portions and try

(01:16:19):
to get the bad stuff out.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
I know the President wanted it by July fourth for
a whole lot of reasons, but the fact of the
matter is that's his deadline. What's the real deadline?

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Listen, You've heard me say this. I don't believe that
a deadline matters so much as the end result the product.
It is been time and time again explained to us,
proven to us as we the people get. A bad
product takes a long time to get off the books.
Look no further than Obamacare and how it has absolutely

(01:16:51):
destroyed healthcare in this country. We don't have health care.
We have stick care, yep. And you want to do
it right. I know that there is this deadline on
the books that the President is pushing for, and believe me,
I will do everything I can to support the President,
but I'm not going to support anything that is going
to hurt the American people. And if it takes longer,

(01:17:16):
then and we go past your life for so be it.
I'll be in Washington. I will work through the weekend,
all work through the night. We've proven we've done it before,
we'll do it again.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
You'll skip that ranch slather, You'll skip that ranch covered
steak if you have to.

Speaker 3 (01:17:31):
I'm never going to live that down, Am't.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
I probably not.

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
I think most people would agree. We just have to
get it right. People care more about getting the end
product right and less about the deadline.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
I agree, Kat. We'll leave it right there. Our best
to you, thoughts and prayers, you know, you and your baby,
your family, your staff, safety to all of you, of course,
heads your protection, and thanks for making time for us.
As always, I.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Appreciate you so much. Thank you guys so much, God Black,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
All right. US Congresswoman Kat Camick with us ranch dressing
and all that's tough for me to get past the
ranch and the pizza crust. I'm there with that. I
don't do it, but I get it. It's been around
me for years with my kids. All Right, I can't
steak and ranch. I'm sorry. I'm struggling. Struggling, just kidding,

(01:18:22):
sort of. Twenty seven minutes past the hour on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott thirty five, almost thirty six

(01:18:51):
minutes past the hour, getting a lot of response to
the interview with Kat Camick. She's a star. She just is. Yeah, yeah,
I I understand why Governor DeSantis opted to keep her
in the House. But you remember she was a candidate

(01:19:13):
to replace Marco Rubio. Now Ashley Moody, best I can tell,
is doing a fine job. But Kat is just a
different type of conservative. She's I can think of maybe
one time, and I don't know what it was, where
I was like, yeah, I'm not sure I agree with

(01:19:33):
that vote, but that's it. She's she's money, just money.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Where they picked on the wrong member of the of
the House. The liberals just don't get it. But anyway,
that interview and the discussion over the bill, first of all,
it was good to hear the check list of things.
She's like, uh, yeah, you know, I love the President,
but I work for the American people. And she started

(01:20:09):
going through the checklist of things that if the Senate
strips these things out, she's gonna have a problem with.
And the margins just aren't good enough in the House.
They're enough to think like her that they'd have a
tough time. So it's I'll be shocked if this happens
by July fourth. I just don't see it happening. I don't,

(01:20:29):
and I'm okay with that. Get it right, well, get
it as right as it can be. I want to
point to Look, there are three big stories in the
press box. The one is the Trump saying he's got
a TikTok buyer. Okay, we'll see CNN the app they're promoting,
This app called ice block. My goodness, the email response

(01:20:52):
to that is hilarious. I'll get to that on tomorrow's show.
Everyone has the exact same suggestion. Okay, I'll tell you
what it is and then i'll talk about it tomorrow too.
Everyone says, download it and share where you think illegals
are working. They'll flee the work sites. It'll grind everything

(01:21:17):
to a halt. Let ice know where they're working. That's fine,
they'll be back or maybe they won't. Oh. Well, see

(01:21:37):
the missing ingredient in all of this, the employers. If
you're legally in this country and working on any job site,
you have no fear. None. If you're legally in this country,
you have zero fears. So if ICE is snooping around

(01:21:59):
and you're here legally, no worries, keep doing your job.
If you're not well, I guess that employer is going
to have himself a hard time. Guess what I'm okay
with that. I am absolutely one hundred percent okay with that.
We will talk about this more tomorrow. But the other
big story that I just want to highlight is once

(01:22:21):
again Florida's budget has been signed by the governor. It
demonstrates because it's paying down debt, it's putting money in reserves,
it's putting money in a rainy day fund that you
can work a government provide needed services. Are there things
we need to do better? Probably it's a government. What

(01:22:46):
doesn't a government need to do a little better, But
it can be done on a consumption tax model. That
to me is the big takeaway. That's why we need
to transition out of our texts the way that we
collect taxes and go to a fair tax, a consumption tax.

(01:23:08):
Forty minutes past the autum, talk about some crimes, some
bad ones next. I'm always torn on these stories and

(01:23:29):
how to include them in the program because they are,
because of their nature, depressing, just headshaking evil. But it
is newsworthy and noteworthy, and I think it's important to
discuss the case of a young man accused of murdering

(01:23:53):
four college students in Idaho, was just weeks away from
going to trial and a plea deal has been struck
and the families are livid. The accused is going to

(01:24:16):
enter a plea of guilty of the murders and in
return will avoid the death sentence. I was reading the
comments of the eighteen year old sister of one of
the victims, Aubrey Gonsavas. She said, I am not going

(01:24:40):
to be silent about this. She said, what we have
endured is beyond comprehension. Pointing to the delays the relocation
of proceedings, she said, the justice system has placed a
heavy burden on people already carrying unimaginable grief. We believed
in the process, We had faith in the system, but

(01:25:01):
at this point it is impossible not to acknowledge the
truth the system has failed these four innocent victims in
their families. These are not just names or headlines. Ethan
chap Chapin Chapin, Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Xana Kernodle were

(01:25:22):
beautiful human beings who touched countless lives. They are not
just the Idaho four. They were sons, daughters, siblings and friends,
real people with real dreams. They deserve to be remembered
for who they were in life, not only for the
tragedy of their deaths, but before that can truly happen.
They deserve justice, nothing less. The introduction of a plea

(01:25:44):
deal weeks before the scheduled trial is both shocking and cruel,
adding that the families could have had time to process, discuss,
and potentially come to terms with the idea of a
life sentence if it had come sooner. Here's the thing.
The defense waited until enough was out there where they

(01:26:04):
went and told their client, you're in trouble. The latest
being that a food delivery guy was allegedly going to
Pinpoint Colberger, Sorry I used the name. The accused, the
guy who's going to plead guilty pinpointed him there. His

(01:26:25):
car was seen to and from the site in the
middle of the night around the crime itself. Families and discussions.
They do not want the deal accepted. The judge doesn't
have to accept the plea deal. We'll see, We'll see
if the families outrage outweighs the agreed deal. The guy

(01:26:51):
who attacked people in support of Jews in Jerusalem, in
rather in Gaza and attacking Hamas and so forth that
were attacked by an Islamist member with the molotov cocktails
and the impromptu one of them died and so those

(01:27:12):
charges now change, likely will change to a murder charge.
The victim is Karen Diamond. She's an eighty two year
old woman who was injured by the attack. She died
as a result of the injuries. And so yeah, now
that the governor of Colorado, Jared pollis, he's he's a

(01:27:38):
train wreck. I use that term a lot. He's a disaster.
So who knows what will happen. And then I don't
know if you've seen this, did you know that there
was and I'm not naming the guy. A guy who
was a serial killer who left clues to his crimes.

(01:27:59):
He basically bragged about him in reviews he left on
products he bought on Amazon. Some of the products he
used to lock people up and hold them, kidnap them,
hold them, torture them, others kill the products he used
and bought. He left reviews with clues on Amazon called

(01:28:24):
the Amazon Review Killer. Just to underscore there are some
sick PUDs in this world, which leads me to tomorrow's
program or personal defense segment. We're going to talk about
some of this stuff, not specifically these crimes, but there
have been some active shooter incidents. Talk about that more
tomorrow with Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group. Forty

(01:28:47):
seven minutes past the hour, A lottery winner coming up next.
Where does the time go? You know, that's actually an

(01:29:13):
interesting question. Where does it go? It's just gone? Now
there are remnants of it. It's called The Morning Show podcast,
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. See you can just
you can recover the time you just spent by listening

(01:29:37):
to it all over again. And if you missed any
of it, just check it out. Podcasts is available free
on the iHeartRadio app belong with the Conversations podcast. So yeah,
there you go. This is pretty cool. Massachusetts man Sylvester
somemetto play in the lottery played the same set of

(01:30:03):
three numbers on a single Massachusetts cash ticket for the drawing.
Got it at Jenny's Market in Weymouth. His numbers two, six, ten, fourteen,
and eighteen represented the only floors on the elevator that

(01:30:25):
would where the elevator would stop at his work building,
So the elevator only stopped on floor two, floor six,
floor ten, floor fourteen, and floor eighteen. So he used
those and he won three times one hundred thousand dollars
for each one. So he won three hundred thousand dollars.

(01:30:46):
He said, you know what, I Am going to use
some of my winnings and attend to Boston Red Sox
away game. There you go, brought to you by Barono
Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one eight ONLA.
You never know where your inspiration is gonna come from

(01:31:08):
a bogus elevator. Can you imagine how many floors you'd
have to walk if you were on a different, different
floor the elevator only got to a certain that's crazy.
Started the day with First John four to nine, nice
little devotion. We'll start the program today as always, big

(01:31:29):
stories in the press box, the ice app it's called
ice Block. Our listeners are asking maybe we can isn't
there a way we could leverage that for the good guys. Yeah,
we'll talk about that on tomorrow's show. On setting that
story to the side here for use again. Tomorrow, Florida's

(01:31:50):
governor signed a bill. It's the budget. It puts money
in reserves, it's fiscally sound, it pays down debt. We're
paying down a ton of debt. And oh, by the way,
we do it with a consumption tax here in Florida.
That's what we ought to be doing nationally. Friends, Florida

(01:32:11):
is the model. Trump says he's got a TikTok buyer.
We'll see for the first time in four years, our
July fourth cookouts will be less expensive. May not be
by much, but the tide is turned. Talked about getting
out in nature two hours a week total, four half

(01:32:32):
hour walks, eight fifteen minute walks. You get the idea.
We also talked about how that not only reverses your
biological clock by ten years if you do it, the
potential is to reverse your biological clock. It's good for you.
But we talked about how you can create an environment
in your own yard using a little backyard of roma

(01:32:54):
therapy to help you out. Talked about the difference between
now in two thousand and seven according to the New
York Times and stories that are in the news. Talked
about the big, beautiful bill. That's at least it's big,
and a good visit with US Congresswoman Kat Cammick. Tomorrow
we'll do it again.
