Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Good morning. How are you hey, it's just me being
a jerk. It's all right. Welcome Wednesday, July sixteenth, Here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He
is Hasac Can you see by the dawn's dirtly light?
What so proudly we ail anyway, we are here with

(00:48):
you and I have a rundown full of interesting things
to discuss, stories in the news, and we're just scratching
the surface of what's out there. But we do our
best to walk this fine line of making sure you're

(01:15):
up to date on the things you need to know.
That's why we have news and so forth. Whether there's
a little system out there, what's gonna happen, But it's
probably gonna dump a bunch of rain to the west.
But we've also got the big stories in the press box.
One today, one big story. It's gonna catch you off guard,

(01:36):
it will it will. You'll be like, WHOA really huh
that's the big story. Yeah. And and we have some
sound for you to hear. We've got an author in
the third hour. He's written a book about JFK. JFK

(01:58):
Public Private Secret. Three segments to the interview sounds like
it's perfectly broken down, doesn't it? Public? Private secret? But
as always, we start with scripture, and we will start

(02:21):
with Proverbs twenty seven seventeen, Short and sweet. Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another. This actually ties to what

(02:43):
we started talking about yesterday, maybe the day before, where
there's this fine line that exists that only got determines
who's on which side of eternity. You're hanging out with

(03:06):
bells above the rest of forever or you're hanging out
with the Son of God with Jesus. That's determined by God.
It's determined by the choices you and I make where
replace our faith. And we talked about whosoever calls upon

(03:31):
the name of the Lord shall be saved, but that
Jesus himself said, don't won't put God to the test.
Don't be living like a heathen and just think, well, hey,
all I have to do is say, hey, Lord, forgive me.

(03:52):
Jesus warned against that. Now I'm not saying one way
or the other what God's going to do. I'm just
saying Jesus warned again that mindset all right, And and
we talked about how Paul wrote of the importance of
holding one another accountable and by one another. We're talking
about Christians. I don't hold a non believer to the
same set of standards that I would hold a Christian to.

(04:16):
I don't. I hope for them to have the same standards,
but I don't. I don't expect them to think about Jesus, God,
you know, other people the same way that a Christian should.
And so Paul said, look, you you you've got to
hold each other accountable. Jesus even said, Hey, if someone's

(04:38):
not living right and they call themselves a brother, go
to them. And if they're still doing the wrong thing,
go to with another. And if they're still doing the
wrong thing, you gotta say sorry, you need to you
need to out of the church. You're out. This connects
to this verse in Proverbs, one man sharpens another. It's

(05:04):
about holding one another accountable and having the ability to
speak into people's lives and have people speak into yours.
Ten past the hour into the American Patriots Almanac, we

(05:24):
will venture next here on the morning show with Preston's Cut.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
My News Radio one point seven Double USLA.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
If you're new to the radio program, Each morning at
this time we take peek into the American Patriots Almanac,
look at history, little history lesson. And over the last
year we've started looking into the National Day calendar, National
Day of and just kind of huh oh, we're celebrating that,

(06:05):
are we kind of thing? But it is July sixteenth,
seventeen sixty nine. Junip Battle. Junip Battle Seta founds the
first Catholic mission in California at San Diago, San Diego.

(06:26):
Seventeen ninety, George Washington signs It Act, stipulating that the
presidents select a site on the Potomac River for the
nation's permanent capital. Look at what George did, now I
think of it, Washington, DC. George picked it, George Washington.

(06:49):
I'm just saying it wasn't named after his Cousin eighteen
sixty two, David Arrogant becomes the first rear admiral in
the United States Navy. I'm not sure what I think

(07:11):
about being called a rear admiral. Sounds like you're being
called to horses. But I mean, it just seems. It
just seems, and I know it's not and I know
that there are likely rear admirals listening to me right now.
I'm just saying, really, it just seems odd to me.
I'm sure there is something describing that. Why that was

(07:34):
named that, I don't know. Nineteen forty five, the United
States explodes its first experimental atomic bomb Alamagordo Air Base
in New Mexico. And in nineteen sixty nine, Apollo eleven
lifts off from Cape Canaveral, the first manned mission to
the Moon July sixteenth, on the way to the Moon.

(08:04):
Today is National AI Day. No, no, no, I'm not
gonna know.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
This.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
However, I will talk about it is National Corn Fritter Day. Now.
I have never knowingly eaten corn fritters, but in looking
at it and considering it, I am all about it.

(08:38):
These are you know, I mean you make them with
sweet corn. Obviously sweet corn is incredible. I mean, if
you ever doubt the goodness of God, take a bite
of sweet corn. No, really, how does that happen? They

(08:59):
are there, they're batter and you know, you can put
different things in with the corn and all that. But
but you can. You can put them on sandwiches. You
can make little mini ones and use them as an appetizer,
a little side dish. But yeah, I'm all about that. That,

(09:20):
and like I said, I've never knowingly had one. Today's
National Personal Chef Day. Okay, but this is what I
really want to celebrate, and I'm not sure how I'll
do it. It's a National hot Dog Day. Now that surprises me.
Wouldn't you think it would be around one of the

(09:41):
you know, maybe the beginning of the summer, maybe around
fourth of July. Hot Dogs are vastly underrated, and I
will tell you one of the best ways to have
a hot dog is sliced down the middle, cut in

(10:02):
half and cooked on a flat top, grilled, a grilled
with a little char hot dog on a Hamburger bun. Incredible.
All right, we come back the Brothers segment plus an

(10:26):
email I received. I'm gonna give you a little insight
into my email box. I do that from time to time.
We are family, so I want to share that's coming
up next as well. Just getting started here Wednesday on
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Okay, this is a

(11:11):
mathematical interesting factoid. Did you know that if you multiple
if you multiply the number nine by any number, then
add all the digits of the sum, you always get nine.
For example, one hundred and twenty seven times nine is

(11:33):
one thousand, one hundred and forty three. One plus one
plus four plus three equals nine. Now I would imagine
that it's going to be divisible by nine, perhaps because
you're going to get a number that's large enough where

(11:59):
it has to add up to more than nine. But
I'm just reading, I'm just reading the what's in this
book here? It says interesting facts. For example, I would
be curious, what like nine times one hundred and forty
three or two hundred and seventeen? What's nine times two

(12:25):
hundred and seventeen? What do we got here? Would you
quit doing the talk back and please use the microphone? Sorry,
bad habit.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
It is one, nine hundred and fifty three.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
And so yeah, it's divisible. One plus nine is ten
plus five plus three is eighteen. It's a divisible at
least it is on that In that case. It's just interesting,
isn't it?

Speaker 4 (12:56):
All Right?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I got an email. You can have fun with that
all day long. By the way, it's just it's in
a book. Don't blame me. It's called the Brothers Segment.
My sons gave me a book. They said they'd love
to see me use it. In the show, so I'm
calling it the Brothers segment. I get a note here
from Todd Save LGBT. Todd at Save LGBT it's actually

(13:21):
Save LGBTQ, but for whatever reason, their email doesn't handle
that qes not welcome in their email. This week, Preston,
we're celebrating International non Binary People's Week by honoring the diversity, resilience,
and brilliance of non binary people across South Florida and

(13:42):
around the world. At SAVE, we are working every day
to advance policies and build communities where non binary people
can live authentically and safely live authentically. What that means
is they want everyone to buy into the delusion and

(14:03):
the fantasy and the dysphoria and to just say that's fine,
and look, I love non binary people. I do. I
love binary people. I love people, and I believe this

(14:28):
breaks God's heart the same way it breaks God's heart
when you and I sin. I think that when you
and I make a mistake, hopefully the Holy Spirit does

(14:51):
something like this. That wasn't cool, And I really think
you need to make an adjustment. You know what I'm saying. Okay,
you know what to do next? All Right? Talk to
you later and then we hopefully pray and go, yeah, boy,

(15:17):
Holy Spirit's right, I'm messed up. Lord, forgive me, and
I'm not going to do that anymore. And there's the difference.
This is a series of lifestyle choices that are sinful,
and people are proudly proclaiming their sins and are just saying, yeah,

(15:43):
I'm going to continue to live in them. That breaks
my heart. It's just, you know, that's obviously, when it's
all said and done, it's going to be between them
and God. But for them for some to say, yes,
I'm a Christian, that whole iron versus iron, iron against

(16:06):
sharpening iron, that you know, Sorry, it's it's just it's
not And and the problem that we're having today is
we have we have church leaders that are embracing this
and will be to them seriously. It does not mean
that we are holier or you know, any better off.

(16:27):
We're just hopefully in a in a different posture before
God because we're not choosing to just continuously walk in
the same sin over and over and over and over
and over. But anyway, my email box gotta love it,
gotta love it. And this guy, he takes my responses
because I respond to his emails. Tony passed the hour.

(16:48):
Let's do the big Stories in the press Box next,
and we have but one.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
It's traffic, weather, Sports, entertainment and the Truth. The Morning
Show with Preston Scott on USE Radio one hundred point
seven WUFLA think Doc.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Severnson, Skitch Henderson, Paul Schaeffer, you know the band with
the host, you know, Johnny Carson and Doc Severnson and
the what is it the Tonight Show band or whatever?

(17:37):
This is the Morning Show band. And it's not Morning
Show band, it's Morning Show band. It's the Morning Show Band.
Yeah right, all right, Big stories in the press box
this morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's osa,

(17:57):
I'm Preston. I watched for the first time the video
from October eighteenth, twenty twenty four, when Isan Ali forty
four Zahra Ali forty his wife, attempted to kidnap and

(18:25):
then in essence, murder their daughter. Here's what happened. The
young lady's seventeen year old girl told police her father
was trying to force her to go to another country,
which had prompted her to run away earlier. In the day,

(18:49):
she went to her former public school, Timberline High School
in Lacy County, Washington, believing she could get help from
adults there. Her father and sister followed her to the school.
According to the affidavit, school counselor helped her find a
room at safe Haven. Her plan was to take a

(19:11):
city bus from the school to get there. While waiting
for the city bus, the victim's father approached her, said quote,
and there were witnesses all over. She needed to go home.
The young girl's boyfriend told police sorry. The victim's boyfriend's

(19:32):
mother told police that she had been present once for
an interview with authorities, where the seventeen year old girl
stated that her father had recently threatened her with an
honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older
man in another country. According to the affidavit, he would

(19:55):
not take no for an answer, began pulling at her shirt,
and this is what's on videotape which I watched. She
said that once she was placed into a choke hold,
she was unable to breathe. She passed out. Multiple witnesses
said her eyes rolled up into her head. She did
pass out. The boyfriend jumped in and got punched by

(20:26):
the dad, and then he started punching back. Others came
when they realized what was going on. Then an adult
male showed up and intervened, holding him until police arrived.

(20:47):
This was a bystander that's available that you can see
on the video. The reason why this is a big
story is because that has no place in this country.

(21:07):
That is Islamic extremism at its worst. And I hope
they throw both of them in prison, and maybe that
sister has a shot because as of right now, that sister,

(21:28):
probably a little sister, scared to death, totally bought in
that this is what you do. But honor killings have
happened in this country, actual killings. So he is facing
charges of second degree attempted murders, second degree attempted kidnapping,

(21:51):
first degree attempted kidnapping, and second degree domestic violence. She
has been charged with violation of a domestic violence protective
order and second degree burglary forty one minutes after the.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Album This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Pretty cool that cal Rawley's home run Derby wind lifted
the ratings. They were higher television ratings. I can't get
my brain around how they settled the All Star Game.
It was six to six and the National League won

(22:46):
with a home run derby like swing off? What like
Baseball's version of penalty kicks a stupid So much is
dependent on like the guy throwing the pitch or I mean,

(23:10):
I don't even know how they do it, whether they've
got someone basically throwing batting practice and and I don't know,
nearly four hours after the first pitch, the introductions were

(23:31):
a little over the top. I wasn't a big fan
of it. They're just trying to make it something it's not.
I don't know, but baseball has the best All Star
Game of all of the professional sports because they're playing
the game. They're not just lobbing you know, softballs up there,

(23:52):
grapefruit for them to hit. They're they're they're playing the
game because there's there's very little risk of injury and
it's not like the physical contact of football. So they've
done away with the All Pro Game. They've gone to
the flag football format in the NBA's just a literal
joke the way that they do their All Star Game.

(24:14):
It's just it's the worst version of I pick up
basketball is more competitive than that. Anyway, I'm not you know,
I'm not a big fan. But anyway, whatever came across
this story, and this goes back to it matters. Constitutional

(24:37):
legal scholar Randy Barnett and just a little bit of
this guy's chops. He is a Georgetown University law professor
and director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution, and
he's out there just jam and Democrats. For all the
talk of the constitutional crisis or threats to our democracy,

(24:57):
having the executive branch systematically run by unknown subordinates of
a mentally incompetent president is the biggest constitutional scandal in
US history. It's called into question the legality of official
acts done in his name but without proper authority. Southern
secession was a constitutional crisis. This is a constitutional scandal.

(25:23):
Here's what it Here's what it boils down to. Joe
Biden's on like this tour trying to clean this up. Ah,
I I I approved every everything I did. He's like
that Walter, the the the mannequin puppet guy, Jeff Dunham's

(25:45):
and that in that guy's name, Jeff Dunham, Walter foul Mouth,
that's Joe. Oh, I you know, so what I did.
Here's apparently the problem. He and his staff determine the
criteria that would be used for pardons. To quote Joe,

(26:08):
there are a lot of them, and then they just
selected people to pardon. He did not individually pardon them.
And so this now comes to the question of are
any of those pardons legal? Consider who he pardoned, Anthony Fauci?
Why but he did nothing wrong? Mark Milly, Mark Milly,

(26:32):
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Why would you pardon him?
Why would you pardon the members of the House committee
that investigated January sixth, twenty twenty one, the Capitol riots.

(26:53):
Why would you pardon them? Why would you need to
pardon your family if they didn't do anything wrong? Anyway,
it matters. It's just it's another one of those stories
that it just matters. And Biden remember the first rule

(27:14):
of a liberalism. They accuse others of being what they are,
accuse others of doing what they do. He said in
his New York Times piece. They're liars. They know it.
They know for certain. Whatever you say, Joe, forty seven
minutes past, come back with a possible lowering of your

(27:36):
electric bill. Down the road, WFLA to illustrate how possible
it is for me to be remarkably inefficient with the
use of my time. Sorry, I got some cheese in
between my teeth. That's annoying. I'm still working on that

(28:02):
multiplication by nine thing. Half hour ago. In the brothers segment,
the did you know was that if you take a number,
multiply it by nine, add up the sum of that number,
you'll get nine or a. I added to it a

(28:22):
divisible number of nine. So I did three hundred and
seventy eight times nine. That's three thousand, four hundred and
two three plus four plus two nine. Okay, Now I'm
going to ramp it up one thousand and fifteen times
nine nine. One hundred and thirty five nine plus one

(28:50):
plus three plus five is eighteen divided by nine. It's divisible.
That's crazy, but it There are people out there going, really,
I did this in middle school.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's fine, that's fine. Laugh at me all you want.
I'm that Just there you go. Now, I promised you
though a story about we're going to kind of sort
of deal with energy here in the next few segments,

(29:26):
and the different trails it goes off into. For example,
lead research assistants sent me this story said, this is
this is notable. A French startup called C Turns Sea
t u RNs C Turns one word has designed technology

(29:50):
that allows the power the natural motion of waves to
create energy. Now we've seen this before, but all of
that technolo was where the mechanics and everything was outside
of whatever, and so you had issues with corrosion, with
just debris, with anything getting in the gears within the

(30:12):
framework of it all. This is a imagine a pill,
only a big one, and it just sits in the
water and it rocks back and forth and all by
the just the motion of the waves. It's tethered, but
the motion of the waves moves it back and forth
and that's what creates the energy. They've done a test

(30:36):
of this on a small scale. Now the question becomes
where do you put it, because I'm not sure I
want to see it. But it's just bobbing there. It's
literally like looking at pill shaped bobbers in the water.
And if you tether them together, the potential here is
is pretty remarkable. And it's all enclosed. All of the

(31:00):
mechanics are enclosed in this. It almost looks like a
lifeboat from a ship, if you will, a yellow lifeboat
that you know, the Jettison Office ship, a cargo ship.
They've tested it for a year and a half offshore
near off the coast of France. Its potential is pretty cool. Oh,

(31:29):
you will be so glad you're listening. Second hour Wednesday
Morning Show with Preston Scott's You Lie the sixteenth. He's osa,
I'm Preston. I told you in the last hour that
we would be talking about energy in one form or another.
Let me tell you who Tommy Waller is. Tommy Waller

(31:53):
is the President CEO of the Center for Security Policy.
Retired Marine Corps Reserve retired at the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Served more than two decades as an active duty officer
and in the reserves, with deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, Africa,
and the Caribbean. In two thousand and seven, he accepted

(32:19):
orders to Officer Candidate School at Quantico, where he completed
the Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare School. Got a little game,
Let's listen to Tommy Waller.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
The summer of twenty nineteen, a massive transformer was seized
at the Port of Houston by the US federal government
and the Department of Energy put under federal escort to
Sandia National Laboratory. As during the Trump administration, when we
were serious about these things, why why was that transformer seies?
Why was it brought to San Diem.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Came from China, came from China.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
What did they find in it? Officially we don't know.
That report is still classified. But one of the Trump
administration officials that were to the National Security Council, Latham Sadler,
he discussed on an interview how they had found a
hardware backdoor in this transformer that would allow someone to
remotely switch it off. That was twenty nineteen. May first,
twenty twenty, President Trump passed an executive order called Securing

(33:14):
the Bault Power System. President Trump declared a grid security emergency.
At the time, our nonprofit was tracking the numbers of
these things. He's Chinese transformers. There's about three hundred and
the grid. That executive order was meant to address that threat.
On the very first day of the Biden administration, that
executive order was suspended and the floodgates were reopened to
the importation of Chinese transformers. We pulled the numbers two

(33:35):
weeks ago four hundred and ninety two.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Think about that now. The executive order Trump's sign was
Executive Order one three nine two zero. Biden reversed did
claiming that it was necessary to increase electrical grid security

(34:14):
and using China's transformers because it's one of the world's
major manufacturers of electrical grid equipment, and energy regulators cite
the need to modernize equipment as part of the reason
why the band was reversed. There are a couple things

(34:34):
I want to point out here. First of all, one
of one of so, there are other countries that make
these transformers that are not our arch enemies, and we
used the one who hates us and wants to take
us over. Really, is that what we did? I'm just

(35:07):
this was the lead research assistant sending this my way.
I gotta find a way to get Tommy Waller on
this show. This is horrifying. And this all connects together

(35:36):
with our next little sound bite. Only our next little
sound bite is actually from nineteen ninety two. Oh You're
gonna love it next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Write them at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes, he
knows how to read well, actually, his producer reads him.
He doesn't know how to read. It's The Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
We've discussed over the years the concern of the interconnected grid,
and I've had people write to me and explain why
it has to happen, and I completely disagree. I'm sorry,
I just do Well. You know, in a natural disaster
you need to be able to shuttle power over to help.

(36:45):
I'm sorry. Those times of inconvenience due to a storm
or what have you are nothing compared to the ability
of an adversary this country to shut us down. Just
for a second, consider what happens if we lose all power.

(37:11):
You go into the store and buying anything you got cash?
Can they accept it? Can they ring it up? What
about purchasing gas? No swipe? Swipe your phone? How long
are you even keep things charged? Will sell towers operate transmission?

(37:36):
We have backup generators, we can run for a while.
Just think it through. And these back doors exist in
these transformers, all right, I promised you. Now, universities in
this country have done studies of this speech. I'm playing

(37:58):
a two minute and thirty one second excerpt. This was
at a function that was televised by c SPAN, and
it featured an address by noted news commentator Paul Harvey
nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 5 (38:19):
Early a week goes by, But what some researcher tries
to scare us or trick us out of research money
by claiming that the sky is falling and with the
willing complicity of headline hungry media. A recent crisis of

(38:41):
the month had to do with global warming. An ozone
hole is opening up over the United States, we were told,
the effects of which were already measurable in an increase
in skin cancer. On the contrary, destroying chlorine around the

(39:02):
polar vortex has been declining since January. A major objective
of a recent Shuttle mission was to determine the scope
and scale of the so called ozone whole, and the
silence since has been deafening from those whose livelihood depends
on creating crises. Recent data from the upper atmosphere research

(39:28):
satellites affirms that any problem is less, it's not greater.
Ozone levels fluctuate all of the time, partly because of
volcanic activity and solar flares, but MIT's Technology Review has
made an exhaustive study worldwide ocean temperatures since eighteen fifty
one has concluded that there appears to have been little

(39:49):
or no global warming over the past century. In fact,
then that rise in world surface temperature during the last century,
which was about one almost all occurred before nineteen forty,
and that was before aerosols, and that has since been reversed.
Former NASA chief Robert Jastro and former Script's director William Nairrenberg,

(40:14):
past President of the American Academy of Sciences Frederick SIPs
All have concluded in a scathing rebuke of those who
make money by predicting global warming. Quote, if we allow
ourselves to be influenced by press release, we could spend

(40:39):
a trillion dollars over the next decade destroying what's left
of the American economy in an utterly unnecessary attempt to
repeal the industrial revolution.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
That was September thirtieth, nineteen ninety two. Look what's happened.
They're back there making money, creating panic. The sky is falling,

(41:13):
the sky's falling, doing their chicken little And we have,
largely from a policy perspective in our country because of Democrats,
bought into all of this. Sixteen minutes past the hour.
The truth about the new Superman movie is coming next

(41:47):
minutes after the hour. I largely don't go to movies.
I'm more inclined to just wait and look at it
on TV or buy the DVD if I'm really interested
in and see good reviews and it's something that I
want to keep. But I used to have a massive

(42:07):
DVD collection. It's much smaller now because I've kind of
gone from that phase of just buying all the movies
to now only the movies that I really want to
watch again and again in four K. Now, there are
some exceptions because there's some movies that they didn't remaster
in four K. But I'm a big high daff four

(42:29):
K guy. But I came across this review from Not
the Bee by mister Reetrops is the reviewer's name. He's
just you know that's they're anonymous. The writers for Not
the b they're covering true stories, but they're just and

(42:50):
the headline says, ignore the hate. James Gunn Superman is
one of the best takes on the character since Richard Donner. Now,
Richard Donner made the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve as Superman,
which tells me this guy who was writing the reviews,
probably in and around my age, because I remember that movie. Well. Now,

(43:12):
if you look at that movie through the lens of
today's technology and the way that they're able to do
stuff with, you know, AI, there's I mean, it's it.
It looks silly. At the time, it was very cool.
It was just very cool. Marlon Brando was was Superman's

(43:32):
dad in the I mean, like the Superman version of dad.
But I'll just give you the short version. The short
version is it is uh and and this guy relies
on the review of a of an organization that I'd

(43:54):
never heard of, but it's apparently it's called worth it
or woke and they review the movies and tell you
if it's worth seeing or if it's just full of wokeness.
And this one has a rating of base, which, for
those of you that are not initiated, means it's good.

(44:17):
There's very little wokeness. There are a few spots allegedly
in the movie that are a little eh whatever, But
they portray Superman as an uncompromising good guy. They're not
as some of the previous iterations. I mean, he saves
a squirrel for Pete's sake. Spoiler alert that said, I

(44:46):
just wanted to offer this observation even though I'm not
as big a fan of Superman as I used to
be because of what's happened over the years. A lot
of the superheroes have been ruined by wokeness, a lot
of the Marvel heroes have been ruined by the actors

(45:09):
wandering into the political sphere and just kind of ruining it.
And I know it's comic book characters. I get it,
the original comic books. They're epically cool, all right, But
you know what's interesting, All of the superheroes basically are

(45:34):
average people who obtain some level of skill and superpower
and become something else. Superman's the only one whose costume
is mortal. The real Superman is who he really is,
is a superhero. That's who he really is. Batman, huh,

(46:00):
he's Bruce Wayne. He becomes Batman, he becomes the Caped Crusader.
Superman becomes Clark Kent. But at his core is Superman.
And I think that's what is the enduring quality of Superman.

(46:23):
That's who he really is. He he's Mom and apple
Pie and saving America. And I'm not trying to turn
this into some you know, deeply principled moment here. I'm

(46:45):
just pointing out that to me, the Superman hero has
a place. It's quintessentially American at its core, and I
think sometimes we get bullied into and lose sight of
who we are as a country, who were supposed to

(47:08):
be the virtues that are America. I don't know. You
can draw from that whatever you want. But as far
as going to the movies may be worth going to see,
you know, I'm just saying, do your thing. Twenty seven
minutes after the album Man, there are movies I was

(47:28):
going to see that I didn't ever see. So I'm
not gonna go see this, but maybe you will.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Thing Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the
world he didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
On news Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
A big story in the press box today is a
different kind of story, and it stood out to me
among a lot of stories now look important news. We
talked yesterday about Arizona's congressional race Democrat primary that a

(48:22):
young girl who claims to be just like the dude
in New York City a socialist who's actually a Marxist.
She's a social media influencer. She came in a distant
second in the race in the primary, so she's out.

(48:48):
Good David Hogg embarrassed once again, That doesn't change all
of the congressional rallying behind the mayor of New York,
the candidate who wants to be mayor who is the

(49:08):
socialist Marxist smiles, and and and the fact that you
have so many elected members of Congress willing to indorse
this is to me cause of great concern. Now, when

(49:31):
it's all said and done, inevitably you have to just
step back and say, you know, this is not unlike
when Israel said to God, we want a king. We
want to we want to have a king, just like
everybody else. And he's like, okay, here you go, God,

(49:52):
God will step right out of the way and let
us have exactly what we want. And that's this is
the government that we have elected, that we have allowed
to exist, that we have put into office. This is
where we are. But ultimately God is on the throne
and he will not be mocked, and the earth is

(50:13):
his footstool. And it's like, yeah, okay, whatever, silly little man.
And so when it's all said and done, I don't
panic a lot. I try to warn I think we
have a responsibility to be good stewards of what we've
been blessed with it and being born in this country.
You were being born in this country, you hit the

(50:34):
lottery coming to this country, legally, you hit the lottery.
But now this indirectly leads to our big story, which
is a husband and wife charged with in essence attempting
to kill their daughter in an honor killing. Their daughter

(50:57):
refused to be exported to a country to marry an
old man in an arranged marriage, and as a result,
she was going to be a victim of an honor
killing if she didn't. In essence, they tried to kill
her on videotape. It's I mean, the husband, it's right there.

(51:20):
The trial's coming. Parents are standing trial. They should. But
this gets back to the assimilation part of allowing people
into this country and not requiring them to be part
of this country. And I know that this gets a
little ticklish because you're in this world of well, you

(51:41):
can't make people be a Christian. You're right, you cannot,
but you need to make it abundantly clear that this
country is foundationally about the unalienable rights of pursuing life, liberty,
and happiness, and the ways of Islam are not welcome here.

(52:02):
You're certainly free to believe that faith, just not practice it.
In real terms, Extremist Islam is not welcome here. It
should not be welcome here, just like e. Communists and
socialists should not be allowed to run for an elected
office because they are politically, they are ideologically they are

(52:26):
philosophically opposed to that which is the foundational document of
this country, i e. The Constitution, And so you know,
I have perhaps different thoughts than a lot of people
on that subject. I just I don't think that that
Islamists that believe this stuff should be allowed to stay
in this country. I put them in jail and then

(52:48):
when they're done, if they ever get out, kick them
out of the country. Is this really what you believe?
That you can force your daughter to marry somebody and
if not kill her. Yeah, you're out of here. You're gone.
And I believe that if you really, if you you
believe in socialism, see you gone. You can't I mean

(53:09):
not out of the country. You can't run for office.
And I know that'll just lead to people lying about it.
At least then you can hold them to their oath
of office and kick them out right. Forty one minutes
after be on, Come Back Some parenting Help, Really good stuff.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Next on news Radio oneoint seven Double Usla, the lead.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Research assistant of the morning show, flagged this story for me.
It is it is somebody on faculty at Florida State
University and I'm I'm gonna guess pronunciation here waiting for
a sneeze Hold on, sorry, Sonia Cabbell may try to

(54:15):
get her on the program. She is the Dugen Sigmund
Endowed Professor at FSU has become one of the nation's
most recognized reading education and literacy experts. I wonder if
my wife knows her. She's in that world and was
a reading researcher at FSU. Professor Cabell says as a

(54:41):
second grade teacher, she encountered a student who had trouble
reading and was unable to retain much information. The issue
persisted despite the student advancing in grades, leading to an
increasing gap over time. Listen now, So she asked, how
do we actually help students re especially those with difficulties?

(55:04):
She learned that the answer lies among many solutions, but
one constant is that conversation is key at an early age.
Developing children's oral language just after birth is vital to
their literacy success. The parenting help here is to talk

(55:31):
to your children and oh, by the way, look there's
a time and place for oh, there's a time for that.
But really speaking and using appropriate language as opposed to
inappropriate language you have to say matters, and it matters

(55:53):
even when they can't necessarily understand what you're saying. But
they're real, they're seeing your lips move, they're engaging with you.
In the early years language development, it's the visual that
kids have of adults speaking to them and reading their

(56:15):
lips that is crucial for their brains. It helps them
connect the sounds and how they're being formed with making
those sounds in their brain that then later connects to
the language and the words themselves. Her advice combat screen
time birth to eight years old. Parents do more interactive

(56:37):
read alouds with their kids. It opens the doors for
more conversations. Quoting research shows that not only is book
reading powerful, but all the interactions you're having around it
are powerful to improve outcomes like children's vocabulary and their
knowledge about what you're reading. Engaging in read alouds also

(56:57):
addresses the importance difference, the important difference children must know
between the sophisticated written language of a book and casual conversations.
So here's the takeaway. Moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas.
Read to your child and talk to your child. And

(57:24):
I want to say this knowing that there's a limit.
Speak to your children as an adult. You'll have to
help them along the way, but don't dumb things down

(57:44):
too much. You're going to rob your child. Read to
your children forty six minutes past they are told you
help right see look at us verse time.

Challenge to make a difference each and every day.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Yeah, I was just reminded in an email there's h
it's it's this is heartbreaking to me. I've been a
huge Chip and Joanna Gaines fan for a long time.
And they own their own network, Magnolia Network. It used

(58:42):
to be DIY. It is linked up with HGTV and
they have a new series out that is called Back
to the Frontier where people check in their electronics and

(59:06):
all that and go back and live for a period
of time. I don't know how long it is, but
one of the things they decided to rubber stamp and
improve is the same sex couple. And when people had
problems with that, because Chip and Joanna, you know, have

(59:29):
lived their faith very openly, Chip responded saying, talk, ask questions, listen,
maybe even learn too much to ask of modern American
Christian culture. Judge first, understand later never. It's a sad
Sunday when non believers have never been confronted with hate
or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American

(59:50):
Christian with a broken heart emoji. This is what I'm
talking about, what's happening in our churches today and to
some Christians. And look, I love them as brother and
sister in Christ, and I believe they do love Jesus.

(01:00:12):
I do, but he's wrong and they're wrong, and oh my.
Matt Walsh wrote in maybe you should endeavor to understand
the basic moral teachings of your own alleged religion before
you give lectures to other people about their lack of understanding.

(01:00:34):
Megan Basham, it's very sad to see you accepting the
world's definition of love rather than scriptures. God defines what
love is. We do not, and it is not loving
to encourage people to continue in lifestyles that will ultimately
condemn them for eternity. I mean it's He's replied here.

(01:01:13):
I sincerely appreciate the advice about taking some of the thoughtful, heartfelt,
encouraging constructive criticism to heart and I certainly will you
know I, for my part, I posted, I said Chip,

(01:01:43):
normalizing what God forbids is wrong. That is not love.
The platform you and Joe have been given by Him
is to further His kingdom, not yours. It just it. So,

(01:02:04):
in answer to the emails I'm getting, is this true? Yes,
it is. I hope they course correct. I would feel
better if they said that. The investors in our production

(01:02:26):
company insisted and in the you know, to try to
maintain the platform we feel God has given us. We're
going to do this and hopefully expose people to the gospel. Okay,
you know, but to just slam people for saying this
is wrong, brother, makes me sad. All Right, we come back.

(01:02:49):
Randy Terri Borelli. The book JFK Public Private Secret.

Speaker 6 (01:02:53):
We'll talk to the author boxt five passed the hour
third hour morning show with Preston's Guy Good Morning Show five,
four and ten.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
But who's counting.

Speaker 7 (01:03:13):
That?

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
I would say it's Studio one A. I am here
in Studio one B. My guests joined me. When his
last book was released, Jackie Public, Private, Secret, it was
a best seller on every bestseller list that there was.
If there is an expert on the Kennedys, it is
this gentleman author, Randy Terra Borelli. Randy, welcome back to

(01:03:36):
the show. How are you, sir?

Speaker 7 (01:03:38):
I'm good, Preston. How you doing man?

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
I am terrific. I have been. I have been thrilled
to have this book in my hands for a few
weeks now, and I figure we might as well break
it up. We got three segments to chat here, so
let's talk Public, Private, and Secret. But I'm curious. JFK.
By many is considered the first public president because he

(01:04:01):
came in in the television era. How did you begin
to find things with a man so public so written
about that filled in the space for I mean, this
book's huge.

Speaker 7 (01:04:16):
Well, Preston, I made a decision when I started this
book two and a half years ago that if I
couldn't break new ground. I just wasn't going to do
it because I know what you're saying. I'm looking on
my bookshelf right now at about one hundred JFK books,
and and they're all really good books, you know. But

(01:04:37):
what I do, what I specialize in is family as
well as in politics. And you know, what I found
is that most of the other writers were so consumed by,
you know, the important politics of the time. And the
politics was definitely you know, right aal at that period,
in this period of time, with the civil rights movement, Vietnam,

(01:04:58):
I Cuba, Castro, Cuban Missile crisis, the Bay of Pigs,
all of which I wrote about. But I used the family,
not only his but Jackies as a backdrop. And I
think the death's where this book is different. For instance,
whoever thought about writing about JFK's relationship with his mother
in law, right, I mean, you would never think to

(01:05:19):
do that, But man, what a powerful relationship that is.
And that's kind of what this book lands on. My
brand is really about family, and that's what this book
is about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
I'm curious did Jack Kennedy have a choice in becoming
who he became? Because it seems as though boy Dad
called a lot of the shots in that family.

Speaker 7 (01:05:44):
Well, you know, you're right. I mean, the dad was
a very powerful figure in the family, and Joe Kennedy,
the older brother, was really the man who was supposed
to become president. I mean, that was the goal ever
since Joe Kennedy entered Harvard. But then he was killed
in the war, and next up was JFK. But you know,

(01:06:09):
a popular sort of fallacy has been that, you know,
JFK really didn't have much say in it, but in fact,
he was already very invested in politics by the time
his brother was killed. No doubt his brother would have
been next. But then I think it would have been
JFK's turn, because he really wanted to be a public servant,

(01:06:30):
and he believed in he believed in his country, and
he believed in democracy, and from a very early age
he was very invested, and so I think he would
have been next had his brother live.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
The book is JFK Public Private Secret. I'm with the author,
Randy Terra Borelli. Randy, you've written five books on the Kennedys. Obviously,
we want to walk this fine line of enticing people
to pick up the book, but giving him a little
bit of information and not in the line and despoiling.
I'm curious what percentage of the public portion of this

(01:07:05):
book was new to you as a researcher and someone
that knows the Kennedy's as well as anybody.

Speaker 7 (01:07:12):
Well, Preston, I have to say a lot of it
because you know, my previous Kennedy books were really focused
on Jackie. You know, I did Jackie Ethel Joan twenty
five years ago, which was about Jackie and her relationships
with her sisters in law Ethel and John Kennedy. And
I did Jackie Janet and Lee, which was about her
and her mother and her sister. And I did Jackie

(01:07:32):
Public Private Secret, which was about Jackie sort of Cradle
the Grave. But you know, it's one thing to write
about the wife during the Cuban missile crisis and the
Bay of Pigs and you know, the beginnings of Vietnam.
It's another thing to go into the Oval Office, you know,
where Jackie wasn't and deal with JFK and his decision making.

(01:07:56):
And a lot of this was new to me. And
I have to say that I think if you really
want a climber on the Kennedy years without being sort
of overwhelmed. You can kind of dip into this book
and really get a sense of what was going on
in the country at that time as I did. I
mean for me, basically, it was homework every day for

(01:08:17):
two and a half years as I learned about these
the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban missile crisis and
Castro and the Berlin Wall, you know, and Kruse, Jeff
and all of the players of that time. So I
just a lot of it was new for me, you know,
and I think it will be hopefully for the either too.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Randy Terri BURRELLI the book JFK Public Private Secret. More
to come here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Back with You with author Randy Tarri Borelli the book
JFK Public Private Secret. Randy, I don't want to assign

(01:09:01):
what I think, but I've got this picture of you
as you're researching this book and the way you break
it down with Public Private Secret. You come across these
anecdotes and I figure you're pitching them into one of
the three cyclos. How did you define which where a
given anecdote, story, or fact would.

Speaker 7 (01:09:21):
Go well, you know, for me, if it's well known history,
then that's public. I mean, some things will not change, right,
the Cuban missile crisis is always going to be exactly
what it was, And there are very few secrets left
to the Cuban missile crisis. People have written entire books
about that, right, and so that's public. Private is you know,

(01:09:45):
along the lines of medical records and you know, presidential decisions,
you know, maybe between him and his brother and his cabinet,
and there's a lot of that obviously in this book.
Secret for me is sort of the hidden personality of

(01:10:06):
a JFK. You know, the journey of this man who
was raised entitled and privileged and with sort of a
distinct lack of empathy to grow into a leader and
to grow into a man who was accountable for his
actions not only to his wife but to the country.

(01:10:27):
That's kind of the secret thread, if you will, in
this book, because I found, you know, that hidden personality
with JFK to be very very very interesting and something
I really didn't know a lot about. I mean, I
knew that he cheated on his wife because I wrote
about the wife, sure, you know, but I didn't know

(01:10:48):
why you know, And in this book, I really learned
a lot about the whys of a JFK.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
At what point do you, as a researcher and an
author decide that this is just too private? I don't
I don't need to share this.

Speaker 7 (01:11:05):
M That's such a good question. And no one ever
asked me that question. And I got to think about that,
you know, I think for me, and I believe me,
there's a lot like that. A lot comes across my
desk and I'm like, you know what, no, not really,
let's not do this. And and a lot of it
has to do pressing with the act, with the feeling

(01:11:26):
that there's not enough context. You know, it's because I
wasn't there, and and and that might be a decision
that was made to do something that I really think
is was not a great decision. But I don't know
all the reasons why the decision was made. And I
always tell my researchers, I have a staff of people
who helped me with my books. Just because something is

(01:11:49):
true doesn't mean it needs to be in the books.
You know, it needs to move the story forward in
a way that is say and dignified. If it's just
going to be something that's in there for titillation purposes
or because maybe it might sell books. Now, that's not

(01:12:11):
what I do, you know, And so I guess really
to answer your question, it's my own moral compass and
the way that I was raised and how I feel
about people and wanting to just be fair. You know,
as a biographer and as an historian, you know, being
fair really matters.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
We got one segment left with me, Randy Terra Borelli,
author JFK Public Private Secret. Well, you know what's left.
We're going to talk about secret here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Twenty three plus years of doing

(01:12:56):
this show, I probably interviewed eight nine thousand folks, and
I can tell you, with all honesty, Randy Terri Borelli's
the only author that's given me three perfect segments.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
Well, we have two so far. So let's wait and
see how that works out.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
No, listen, you can't make it up. JFK. The book
is JFK Public Private Secret. When we get to the
secret portion of this, how much of the secret is
his personal private life, how much of it is his
work as a member of Congress or President of the

(01:13:36):
United States?

Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
Well, President, the secret really is a private life, you know,
I mean, it really does have to deal with the
private decision making, and you know what it was that
led him to be, you know, such a terrible husband
to his wife. And you know, throughout history, it's always
been blamed on the father. You know, the common sort

(01:14:02):
of trope has always been, you know, the father Joe
Kennedy cheated on the mother, Rose Kennedy, and so JFK
then cheated on Jackie. And I always thought that it's
such an easy leap and such a sort of you know,
not really smart way of looking at it, but sort
of like the easy way of looking at it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
That's a cop out.

Speaker 7 (01:14:24):
Yeah, And so I did. I did a lot of research,
and I found that it's partly true, but it's not
entirely true, because the rest of it is the mother's.
It's the mother's sort of complicity and the father is cheating,
and even more than that, the mother and father hiring

(01:14:46):
somebody to live in the house with them. Joe and
Rose hired a woman named Janet de Rose. She was
twenty four, to live in the house with them to
service the father not only sexually but also emotionally. Because
Rose and want a lot to do with him, And
so I interviewed this woman, Janet de Rose. She was
one hundred years old when I interviewed her a few

(01:15:08):
years ago, a great woman, great memory, And she told
me the story of how she was brought into the
family as sort of Joe's secretary, but also somebody to
service him sexually and also to be somebody to do
to traffic in emotionally, because the whole point was for

(01:15:31):
Rose Kennedy to distance herself and travel the world. She
could not leave her marriage because of their religion, you know,
being divorced was out of the question. So this was
a way that they figured out a way forward by
bringing Janet into the family. And I think that this
is a long way of saying that if you're raised

(01:15:52):
in a family where this is going on, then how
are you supposed to be a husband to you know,
to a wife. No if that, if your influence was this,
you know, your parents hired somebody to live in this family,
sleep right down the hall to serve with your father.
Of course, you're not going to be the best husband

(01:16:16):
in your own marriage. And so JFK, you know, had
a lot to work through, and so did Jackie in
their marriage to sort of overcome this really really bad influence,
not only, as I said, of the father's influence, but
the mom who you know who allowed this. When Joe

(01:16:36):
hired Janet wrote said what do I get out of it?
And Joe's response was freedom, and Rose said, fine, let's
bring her in and that's what they did.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
I'm curious. I mean, I think I know the answer
to this, But but JFK and Jackie that that relationship
would never have survived in this era, would it.

Speaker 7 (01:17:00):
Well, you're absolutely right, because women today are a different
breed of powerment right number one, when most women would
not put up with this, right and number two, in
the public eye, this would this would have been all
over TMZ, right. I mean, there's no way that you know,

(01:17:20):
JFK would have been able to get away with the
infidelity that he got away with as a public figure.
Today today, there would be no way it would be
all over the newspapers. And back then in the nineteen sixties,
there was sort of a gentleman's agreement with the press.
You know that you don't write about a person's private life,
and that all changed with Watergate in the seventies. You know,

(01:17:45):
and Richard Nixon and people started really thinking, okay, you know,
does character matter? You know, by the time Richard Nixon
was impeached, people were wondering, Okay, now, let's think about
this in a different way. And I'm not saying that
character matters. Even today, I'm not saying it does. I'm

(01:18:07):
just saying that people at least are wondering about it.
Right back in the sixties, we didn't even wonder about it.
We just let it go. You know, there was a
time in our country, believe it or not, when people
really didn't care what the president was doing. You just
kind of assumed he was doing the right thing because
he was the president.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Right Well, how much.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Were well, let me just ask you, we've got about
a minute left here, how much of this at that time?
Was the media looking the other way? They kind of
they had to know something was going on. They look
the other way because the media largely loved JFK. They
loved him, and the public loved him because of the

(01:18:47):
whole Camelot thing.

Speaker 7 (01:18:49):
Well, there's a lot of that going on, Kristin. But also,
you know, Republicans weren't that crazy about JFK.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
You know, I mean they love it now.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
They would so, I mean, I just think that the
climate of the times was that we don't really get
in we don't get into this, you know, no matter
what your political affiliation, Let's just stay away from this,
and you know, and it worked to Jay Stage's manager,
because I don't know that he would have been able
to even get into office if a lot of this

(01:19:21):
had been known.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Randy, great stuff. I can't wait to get through the
rest of the book. I appreciate your time this morning,
and best.

Speaker 7 (01:19:28):
Of success, man, I appreciate it very much.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Thank you. Randy Terri Borelli is the author of the
book JFK Public Private Secret. It is a big, hefty
read and the chapters are broken down in a way
that makes this a really good nightstand book because you
can go through and then put it down, then pick
it right back up, and it really is well done,

(01:19:53):
as was the book Jackie and all his books. And
appreciate having him on the program twenty eight minutes past
the hour. I hope you enjoyed that visit with Randy.
Terra Barelli told Jose there are certain names that you

(01:20:21):
come across and they just don't flow off the tongue
easily the first few times you say it. I remember
when I did play by play great story. This is
not obviously the big stories in the press box. It's
just me being me. I would handwrite all of my

(01:20:44):
notes because it was something that I learned from my dad.
But I also have later found that when you type notes,
you don't retain as much information as when you handwrite them.
That's been literally proven in studies that handwriting things allows

(01:21:08):
you to retain it more than typing it. So I
would write people's names phonetically and then would practice them
over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and so I can't tell you how
many times I said Randy Terra Borelli. Because you want

(01:21:31):
to say Randy Terra Belly. It just in your head,
it just seems to make sense Tera Belly, Terra Borelli.
That that bo hey bo kind of it just so
for me, I have to repeat certain things to make
it sound. I joked about how many times I had

(01:21:53):
to say Hanswan Spakowski before I could. I mean, the
first few times I had him on the show, I
was just like it was I was an idiot. It
couldn't get it said. But then the other thing that happens,
and it just does. I can't explain it. Every guy
who's ever done play by play has slipped the wrong

(01:22:14):
name in there. They had something locked in their head,
something from pop culture, a friend from school, whatever that
had a name that was similar. And so there was
a basketball player for LSU, and for reasons I can't
explain to you, I slipped in a different name, a

(01:22:39):
first different first name with his last name. Oh my gosh.
I got blistered in social media, absolutely torched. And I
went on social media and I said, yeah, I'll own it.
I I just my mind went to something totally different

(01:22:59):
and I slipped a different name and I am so sorry.
And then I got congratulated for first being on the
platform and engaging with the fans of I think it
was LSU and owning it. They were like, all right,
you're a man, So when you mess up, if you

(01:23:21):
own it and just make the best of it, it's like, Eh,
it'll all work out. What's the worst it going to happen? Now?
They just think you're an idiot. Well, I think I'm
an idiot, So what's the big deal. No big deal,
it's just not a big deal. Forty minutes past the hour.
I know, if you want the big story in the
press box, you'll have to go back to the previous hours.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
This is fascinating to me. It's one of the few
comments on the whole Epstein story that caused me to go, okay, okay,
that's plausible now, I will admit it comes from Alan Dershowitz,

(01:24:23):
and Dershowitz himself has been mentioned as a potential person
involved in all of this, but part of that is
because he worked on Jeffrey Epstein's defense team. He worked
on Ojay's defense team. I personally think he believes oj
did it. But as a defense attorney, your jobs to

(01:24:46):
make sure that your client got air, gets a fair trial,
the jury finds him innocent. We know that that was
a joke. But anyway, I had him on the show
and I asked him, do you think he did it?
I had him on the show, Alan Dershchwitz years ago.
You think he did it? All right? So on the

(01:25:07):
Epstein list, there is no client list and never has
been a client list. A client list suggests that Jeffrey
Epstein made a list of people to whom he trafficked women.
What there is listen now is a redacted FBI affidavit
from accusers. There are several of them from accusers that

(01:25:33):
accuse Jeffrey, that accuse various people of having improper sex,
and that has been redacted. The names of the people
accused have been blacked out. Because I was the lawyer
and I did all the investigations. I know who all
these people are. I could figure it out based on
everything that I saw. Who mister X, mister Y, mister Z.

(01:25:56):
I can tell you right now. None of them are
public figures who are currently in office, some of them
were previously in office, some of them are dead. But
there is no client list, he said. Judges orders barrow
him from revealing things he'd like to discuss openly. He
goes into detail, and then he gets, now, first, let's pause.
That's plausible that the list is made up of the

(01:26:18):
accusers listing the names of the people that they were
involved with that they feel took advantage of them or
whatever the case might be, or that they quote serviced.
So my point is, I don't know, but that's plausible,
isn't it that that's what the list is that it's

(01:26:42):
made up of documents from accusers that are sworn affidavits
that are redacted. Now we get to the Epstein work
for the Masad, work for the federal government as an informant.
Listen to this. If he had he would have been dying.
That tell me that, because I could have used that
to get him a better deal. He helped get Epstein

(01:27:10):
a plea deal in two thousand and eight. He was
not involved in the case where he ended up in
prison and dead. This was an earlier case. If he
had worked with the Masad or the CIA, that would
have been golden for me. I can tell you with
absolute certainty had no connections to the Massad. And to

(01:27:35):
all of that, I go, hmm. There are a couple
valid points here, and I'm not saying they wipe away
my skepticism. I'm saying that, as what I hope is
an open minded, rational thinking guy, I'm open to consider

(01:27:59):
that A, that's what the list is, and B that
fact that, well, if he had been, he'd have told
me because I could have used it as leverage. That's true.
The other thing that I want to mention that's true
is the counter that even I insinuated that you know,

(01:28:20):
maybe Trump is more than this because these saying just
move on, go away. If Trump had been in this
at all, you don't think they'd have dumped this out
there before. Now you don't think they would have used
it in the campaign for his reelection? Good lord, Yes,

(01:28:41):
they would have. That's a very compelling argument that if
there was any smoking gun connecting Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein,
it would have been out during the campaign. Absolutely, because
the Dems were running the federal government. They had access
to everything. It just wasn't there. Those are fair things

(01:29:02):
for you and I to consider. That's all I'm saying.
Forty six sorry, forty seven minutes past the hour. Tomorrow,
Busy Zack Smith Heritage Foundation wrote a fascinating piece saying,

(01:29:28):
if you want to know what's coming for New York
City if they elect this guy, look at London. And
he wrote a fascinating comparative study. And so we got
Zach coming on the show tomorrow. Steve Stewart will join
us tomorrow, Doctor Steve Steverson Pause for thought on a

(01:29:53):
missions trip as a veterinarian doing veterinarian missions work. Really cool.
We're going to talk about it a little bit and
also a road trip idea. Washington woman Lisa Fireman, forty six, Bellevue,
Washington get US world record for her collection of jigsaw puzzles.

(01:30:21):
How many do you think she has? What's your guess?
She didn't set out to break the record. She just
loves puzzles. So how many do you think she has?
What's your guests? A couple hundred, four thousand and sixty,

(01:30:46):
Oh My, Disney puzzles, puzzles from TV shows, the James
Bond films, Hello Kitty. She said, if I kept all
the puzzles I did in a year, I could easily
carpet my house with puzzles. Just puzzles. She's done in

(01:31:06):
a year, So I guess she's done all of these puzzles.
I can't even imagine. Do you enjoy doing puzzles? Uh? No, sir,
I lose pieces way too much. And I thought you
were going to tell me you lose patience. No, I
have a lot of patience. I just I lose the pieces.

(01:31:27):
How do you lose pieces to a puzzle? They sit
on the table. I wish I knew, oh My, Something
to be discussed on another edition of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
It's the Morning.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Show on on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Our verse today was Proverbs twenty seven, verse seventeen. It
led into a very interesting devotional topic if you will
great visit with Randy tera BURRELLI about the book JFK. Interested?
Interested in the book? Yeah, I've I had done the

(01:32:09):
My method for interviewing is to not read much of
a book that I'm sting, and not because of laziness,
although I mean obviously I read a book a week
in prepping for this show, right, But to me to

(01:32:31):
put myself in the chair of you, why would I
want to ask questions based on too much knowledge about
the book. I want to ask the questions that you
have based on not knowing the book. So I've never
liked interviews that are insider based, where the interviewer knows

(01:32:55):
everything about the book, but the people listening to the
interview have no idea what you're talking about. You remember
page for you remember that you remember It's like, huh what?
So I'm this is one of the books that I
will be anxious to read because I'm fascinated by the
sphere in which Randy covered big story in the press

(01:33:16):
Box honor killing suspects going to trial to Islamic parents
tried to kill their daughter, wanted to marry her off
to an old guy in another country. She said no,
They tried to kill her and it was captured on tape.
Talked about parenting, Read to your children tomorrow. We've got

(01:33:37):
a great show already standing by, ready packed and ready
to go, and I cannot wait till then. My friends,
have an awesome day and walk in blessing
