Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, good morning, and welcome Wednesday. We are halfway through
the week, well sort of, we're just starting. By the
end of the day, we will be more than halfway
through the week of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
How are you hope you slept?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, he's Jose resplendent in his red, white and blue
bandana sort of kind of but not really wearing the
flag on his head. But we welcome you to the show.
Talk about this date in history in a moment. But
we always start with some scripture. It's so funny how

(00:40):
I was just sort of moving around through scriptures this morning, and.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I made a note months ago.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
If I get an idea on something I want to
talk about one morning, I just I'll make a note
of the scripture. And what did we talk about this week?
About following Jesus the light, that he is the light
of the world, and that we're not walking in darkness
if we've got him right, And we talked about being
in a dark cave with all kinds of places we

(01:14):
can go and trip and fall and potentially die a
horrible death. But we talked about the importance of hugging
clothes because he's got the light right, So he's illuminating
a path.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Check this out.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
This is this is a passage that again I just
got led to in my notes, and it says this,
and we are.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
We are in one Peter, chapter two, verse nine.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation of people for his own possession. That you may
proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of
darkness and into his marvelous light, called you out of darkness, cave.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Into his marvelous light. Follow me.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I got the light right here, I got it right here.
The path is being illuminated. Just step where I step.
You're gonna be just fine. But I also want to
focus on this, a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation. He's not just talking about Israel. Israel had
rejected Jesus. Remember that Jesus came for Jews and gentiles.

(02:38):
He came for mankind, all of us, that we would
be part of this holy nation, this royal priesthood. Now
I want you to consider that that idea of priesthood.
A lot of people are a little freaked out by that.
I'm not a priest. Well, if you call yourself a Christian,

(03:01):
Yes you are. And what was the priest's responsibility If
you go back to the Old Testament and the tribe
of Levi, the levitical priests, tribe of Levi, they were

(03:22):
set apart to be the ministers for God, to make intercession,
for people, to bear the Ark of the Covenant on
their shoulders, to break down and carry the tabernacle and
all of that. That's what the tribe of Levi did.

(03:43):
They brought the Tabernacle, which was a moving, a portable
version of the Temple wherever the Israelites went. But I
want you to keep that visual in mind of the
Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was
where God's presence would reside inside the Tabernacle and then

(04:07):
the Temple. And so the levitical priests would place poles
in the ark and would carry it on their shoulders,
and they would bring it from place to place to place.
Now hold on to that. You are now part of
that levitical priesthood. If you call yourself a Christian, you

(04:32):
are a priest. And guess what your responsibility, just like
in the days of the Old Testament, is to place
the presence of God on your shoulders and carry it
where you go, a royal priesthood. And the best part

(04:52):
is you're just using the light of Christ. They're carrying
that around to people. Ten past the hour. That was good.
Scripture's good. Scriptures so good. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott coming up to twelve past the hour. Morning Friends, Ruminators.

(05:26):
July thirtieth, One more day in the month Tomorrow, sixteen nineteen.
The first Representative Assembly in America convenience in Jamestown, City
of Baltimore, founded in seventeen twenty nine. Mary Draper Ingalls

(05:46):
in seventeen fifty five is kidnapped by the Shawnee Indians
at Draper's Meadow, Virginia.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Kidnapped.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Nineteen forty six. The first rocket to attain a one
hundred mile hour altitude, a captured German V two rocket,
is launched from the White Sands proving Ground in New Mexico.
Germans were working on some stuff. I'll tell you something.
Nineteen fifty six, the phrase in God we trust becomes
the official national motto. It's National Climb, a mountain day,

(06:22):
Crime every mount Anyway, National Whistleblower Day, National Father in
Law Day, National cheesecake day.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I have grown to be far more accepting of a cheesecake.
It was not always the case. If you think about it,

(06:57):
that's not what you call a cake cheesecake.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
But I get it. I get it.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
But to my uninformed palate as a youngster, as a
ute thank you, rush, I just thought it was gross.
That just sounded gross to me. You know, they say
you eat with your eyes. I at times eat with
my ears first. That just sounds gross.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, thank you.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
But as I've been introduced to different flavors of cheesecake,
like a salted caramel cheesecake, I have worked backwards to
now appreciate a simple cheesecake, though I do prefer the
other kinds a cookies and cream or a chocolate or

(07:53):
a salted caramel. I prefer that type. Nothing with fruit,
no no, no, no, strawberry cheesecaker, things with no no, no gross. Anyway,
cheesecakes are now they're they're now somewhat acceptable to my palate.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Oh it's time, I told Jose this morning, I just
feel like sharing.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
A haiku.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Written to a topic that I choose my artificial intelligence.
A quiet sunrise paints it froze music frozze.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
What the heck happened? Come on now, Oh man, we
had it, we had it. How lame is that I had?
I can't do it. I can't do it until I get.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
The music right. It's just not it's not gonna.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It won't work.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It won't work unless we get the music right. So
I've gotta I gotta try it again and see if
I can get that right, because that's just that.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Just that stinks. That stinks.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, here we go, try it again, try it again.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
And again. This haiku written by.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Ai Hey Quiet Sunrise paints. I'm laughing at myself because
that was so bad. Golden hues on Duke kissed leaves
New Day starts to bloom.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Ah rats man, it was so good.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
And then.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
This is a dream come true for me by the
way that the music froze.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, no, no, that you're doing this this is excellent.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I love it. It's dream come true. Yeah yeah yeah.
When you did it the first time, I was like, man,
I hope he does that again at some point. Yeah,
I have. I just never mind. It doesn't matter because
I ruined it. I didn't ruin it. The computer just froze.
I mean, it's like whatever, seventeen minutes past the hour,
come back with it? Did you know?

Speaker 7 (10:53):
And more?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right, time for the Brothers segment. Did you know?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
This is crazy?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
There is a town in New York named Swastika, based
off a Sanskrit word meaning well being or good fortune,
as well as a lake in Wyoming a mountain in Oregon.
Though its name was changed to Halo in twenty twenty three,
the swastika was a popular symbol before Nazis appropriated it.

(11:40):
You have that reminds me of Rainbow God's invention appropriated
just saying how many times would a roller coaster I
have to have a glitch before you'd say, and now

(12:05):
now brand new roller coaster at Cedar Point in Ohio.
I've been near Cedar Point. I boated around Cedar Point.
Sickest I've ever been in a boat was a boat?
Is that Lake Michigan? I don't know what lake that is.

(12:26):
It's one of the great lakes, great lake. Being on
that great lake on a calm day made me sicker
than at any point I've ever been. When I've been
on the ocean, like the ocean, ocean, on a boat,
small boat like a you know twenty eight foot fishing boat.

(12:48):
It's the first so called tilt roller coaster where it
pulls the coaster up and then that part of the
roller coaster tips ninety degrees and points you straight down
before releasing you. And it is broken down. It opened

(13:14):
the very beginning of at the very end of June,
June twenty eighth. It broke down June twenty eighth, It
broke down July second, it broke down July nineteenth, and
then it just broke down again. Now what I love
is the spokesman for the park compared the issue to

(13:35):
quoting him now a check engine light.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I appreciate that he's trying to mitigate the fear and concern.
But you know, when when your check engine light comes on,
generally speaking, you're not in danger of falling off of
a hurdling machine or off of a I mean, think
about it. They had to get off of that thing

(14:03):
at the very height the top of it. It had
tilted partially and frozen.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
No thank you, no, no, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Now no one's been hurt, no injuries have been reported
in any way, shape or for him. But it's like
those any ride like that? No, No, not gonna do it.
Are you a roller coaster guy? Are you? I mean,
I think we've talked about this before. Absolutely love roller coasters.

(14:40):
Would you go on that one? Absolutely not because of
its past? What if it had no past, no history
of any breakdowns? Oh yeah, I would love that. That
sounds terrifying. So so the the idea being frightened on
a on a roller coaster appeals to you. Yeah, well,
you know they're genuinely or generally much more safer than
you know, skydiving or something like that. So yes, okay

(15:06):
interest in comparison, would never skydiver base jump, but roller coasters. See,
oh you said bass jumping.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
I watched. I watched.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I watched somebody that had convinced herself that she needed
to conquer some fears and do a base jump as
a tandem. And so she and the guy was incredible
that she's jumping with and and she's she's in tears
the whole time, the whole time. And when I say
bass jumping, we're talking off of a mountain where you slip,

(15:40):
and and she was not a small person. I'm just saying,
it's just you know. But the dude that was the
professional bass jumper, if there's such a thing, uh, clearly
trained he was. He was awesome, encouraging, he was great,
and and they didn't wait long. They base jumped and
the pair shoot deployed right away. It wasn't like they

(16:03):
waited and jumped and free fell for a while. But yeah, no, no, no, no,
I choose life. Twenty seven minutes.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Past the hour.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
We're gonna come back with the big stories of the
press box next on the Morning show WUFLA thirty five sorry,
thirty five minutes past the hour of the morning show.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Thoks of you in the Panama City area. Welcome, great
to have you with us this morning, no matter where
you are, I mean, iHeartRadio. We got listeners all over
the country. We thank you very much for sharing your
time with us. Two very different stories this morning from

(16:56):
what we have been talking about the last couple of days,
because the last couple of days we've been focused on
a couple of mass shootings and we'll certainly do a
little follow up on that as well as the story
in Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Got to talk about that.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
But Pam Bondi wrote today at my direction, the Justice
Department filed a misconduct complaint against US District Court Chief
Judge James Boisburg for making improper comments in the public
about President Trump and his administration. These comments have undermined
the integrity of the judiciary, and we will not stand

(17:29):
for that.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well, here's the thing, Pam.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
You can't do anything about what people think of the judiciary.
You can What you can do something about, which you're
trying to do, is you're trying to deal with a
judge that here's the just the the what do I
want to say? The center of the complaint. March eleventh,

(17:55):
he appeared at a judicial conference session and told Supreme
Court or at Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal
judges that the Trump administration would quote disregard rulings of
federal courts and cause a constitutional crisis. That's a problem

(18:16):
the Just Department. The Justice Department, in its filing said
that Bohersburg attempted to improperly influence the Chief Justice and
roughly two dozen other federal judges by making the claim,
and in doing so, violated judicial ethics requirements for judges
to remain impartial and neutral. It should be pointed out

(18:37):
that this was just days before he granted a temporary
restraining order barring the administration or deporting Venezuelan's to L Salvador.
He had made up his mind before even the hearing.

(19:00):
Is bias was evident in that conference, his remarks, what
he said. Even after the Supreme Court vacated his order,
Boisburg sought to hold the Trump administration officials in criminal
contempt for violating an injunction that the Supreme Court said
was not valid. The problem here is that this now

(19:26):
sits with the chief judge of the DC's circuit that's
going to have ninety days to review the complaint aside.
So it's sort of like the fox deciding what's going
to happen inside the head house.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
It's like, whatever, you know. I don't know that we're going.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
To get much satisfaction on this, but I think the
point of the integrity of the court system is absolutely
on the edge. What happens when a society just ignores
whatever a judge says, and we're setting ourselves up with

(20:05):
these improper rulings, with district judges showing us, well, we're
not going to follow what the Supreme Court said about
nationwide injunctions. We're just going to do them anyway. Okay,
if you're going to set the standard, what happens when
people do the same thing, now, whatever, we don't care
what you have to say. It doesn't matter what you

(20:27):
have to say. The other big story is the United
Kingdom said that it will recognize a Palestinian state in
September during the UN General Assembly if Israel does not
abide by certain conditions that the UK is demanding. What

(20:52):
and wait till you find out the conditions? Oh my goodness.
So those are your big stories this morning? Forty minutes
past the are I gotta stay on time. I got
to stay disciplined this morning. So the chief of police

(21:23):
in Cincinnati, who is likely a DEI hire, which, of course,
in the new math, DEI equals d E. That's my
way of saying that what DEI touches dies, it kills
what it touches. And if you really, if you apply

(21:44):
that to anything where we see race given priority solely
because of race, there you go. She said that the

(22:07):
video is of the attack in Cincinnati that night is
missing context.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh well, what would that be?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Chief? I can give you some how about We've got
a crowd of people late night downtown in Cincinnati, and
you have no police presence none. She's lamenting that out

(22:43):
of the one hundred plus people watching, these two white
folks and potentially three to five white folks in as
well in total, that we're beaten by a mob of blacks.
She's lamenting the fact that out of one hundred plus

(23:04):
watching this happen, one person placed the phone called to
nine to one one. I'm lamenting that you have a
guy that's the cheerleader that's doing play by play instead
of helping. I'm lamenting that in this crowd, no one

(23:25):
showed any sense of decency to intervene one of those charged.
They're looking for as many as eight others. One of
those charged was on bail. He was out on bail.

(23:46):
He's not looking quite so happy as he did when
he popped that woman and blindsided her. And what does
that say? My man nine sides a woman. Another guy
dropping a hammer and full body weight on a man

(24:08):
who's basically unconscious on the road. No police were present.
The Cincinnati Chief of Police, Teresa Fitgi, needs to resign.

(24:37):
She's not fit to be the chief, and she's now
deflecting and putting the blame on the fact that no
one called nine to one one, Well, you should have
had people there, You should have had officers there. But

(24:57):
even with that, the mob mentality that exists. We listened
to a black man yesterday, former police officer, say what
is it?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
What is it that causes this? He doesn't have the answer.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's an answer that people have to look inside their
heart and figure out. But I can darn well assure
you if a black couple, and there's no indication that
these two were a couple, but if a black couple,

(25:39):
a black male and a black female were viciously beaten
by a crowd of whites, this would be the only
story being talked about in the news, the only short
of a nuclear war. And if you don't agree with that,

(26:02):
you're a fool. You are a fool. You're dismissed from
listening to this show unless you want to learn, because
I can't help you. You're probably a bigot as well.
You're just a bigot of a different kind. But bigotry's bigotry.

(26:22):
It's like it's sin. And if you're carrying around bigotry
in your heart, racism in your heart, I don't care
what way it goes, white against black, black against white.
You hate Chinese, you hate Hispanics, you hate well.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I don't care. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
If you're a bigot, you're in sin, and it's a
matter of changing your heart. I can't change it. No
one else can change it, no one can beat it
out of you. It's a matter of your heart. And
if you can't see that, if this story were reversed,
it would be the only thing talked about in the news,

(27:00):
then you are a more than likely you are a bigot,
and more than likely you're just a fool as well.
And I can't help you. Forty seven minutes pass now.

(27:24):
Tomorrow's the day Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen or
to your favorite blizzard at participating Dairy Queen locations. A
dollar or more will be donated to the Children's Miracle
Network hospitals. So tomorrow's your day to get a blizzard.
Do your part.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
What a call to action?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Do your part?

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Eth ice cream, that's awesome, So give that a shot.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
What do you think? Make a note, put it in
your phone. Blizzard for lunch, Blizzards to the family and
the kids on the way home. That's probably the way
to go is to just have a blizzard.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
At home.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
And just bring them for everybody in the family. That's
what you gotta be doing. And also, the iHeartRadio Thank
a Teacher campaign is underway. We want you to select
a public school teacher who is great, one that you
know is great, they taught your child. It's a way

(28:37):
to say thank you. And teachers across the country are
going to be getting five thousand dollars grants to purchase
school supplies for their classroom courtesy of the partners we
have here at iHeartRadio at donors Choose, So you can
just go to the website iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers and.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
You can nominate a teacher. How cool is that?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Hey, they have learned it's not ten thousand steps that
you have to get to a day to really make
an improvement. This is encouraging for a lot of you
because I think a lot of times we look at
health goals and I would hope we all have them
in some form or fashion. We want to you know,

(29:25):
I want to lose a few more pounds. I want
to continue to remain flexible and fit, to be able
to enjoy playing golf and enjoy being with my grandkids
and you know, work in my yard and do the
things that I want to do. I want to maintain
that I'm in my mid sixties, and I don't feel
like I'm in my mid sixties. I don't. It's not

(29:50):
about vanity. I don't care whatever I got, gray hair,
white hair, I got hair.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I'm grateful.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
If I didn't have air, oh well, the family gene
would take over. But I've defeated the family gene pool anyway.
The University of Sydney conducted a review of fifty seven
studies in ten countries more than ten, and they found
that you don't need ten thousand steps. Seven thousand is
a big enough goal, but that you can make. If

(30:19):
you just increase from two thousand steps a day to
four thousand, you're gonna make a huge dent. If you
get four thousand to seven thousand, you're gonna make a
massive dent. Seven thousand steps a day. That's it. That's
the goal. The benefits. I'll take some time on another

(30:39):
show to go into these benefits because they're vast. We
come back our two begins at the Morning Show with
Crustin Scott by past the hour It's the second hour
morning show with Preston's morning friends, Ladies and gentlemen, boy

(31:00):
and girls, males and females, only ruminators near and far.
Thank you so much for creating a little time with us.
Hose there. Are you a Sea World fan? Do you
like going to aquariums? I've actually don't have been there once,
but yes, I enjoyed it. If there's an aquarium, I'm
going Georgia Aquarium.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Loved it.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Went behind the scenes there, it was incredible, loved it.
When I used to do college basketball for Fox, I
would travel to towns, usually small because most colleges are
in small towns. There are exceptions, but the games I

(31:46):
did the a SEC and the SEC primarily small towns.
And I remember going and covering a small conference tournament
and going to UT Chattanooga the Mox. They have a
great aquarium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Did you know that? But

(32:08):
I remember as a kid going to Sea World in
San Diego, and I brought my Super eight.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Movie camera.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
And I remember videotaping the Shamou the Killer Whales show.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
And editing it. As a kid, I had editing.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I mean, you would take the film because you get
it developed, and you would get a real to play
on a projector, and then to edit it. You would
take it and you'd cut it up and splice it together.
And I made a short movie with music. I'll never
forget that. Emre Diadado's two thousand and one of Space

(33:05):
Odyssey also spracks Arethusa. That was the music I used,
and honest and goodness, it was cool. But the experience
of being in that aquarium as a child has stayed
with me my entire life.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I love going.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I love that the primary mission of these places is
to rescue largely injured animals from the wild and oftentimes

(33:44):
just give them my life while on display so others
can see and appreciate them. One of the most amazing
sea animals I've ever seen is the giant manta ray.
The manta ray distinguishes itself from a sting ray in

(34:05):
its size because it can be nearly thirty feet across,
but it has that mouth that the corners of it
curled down and somewhat underneath it a little bit. They
can leave the water and literally fly for feet at

(34:26):
a time, just gliding. They're incredible, and they're endangered, and
a story that's getting a lot of run in and
around Panama City and Panama City Beach, but not getting
a lot of run anywhere else. Is the intersection of

(34:52):
one of my favorite places, SeaWorld, but not just World,
but Florida Fish and Wildlife and the giant endangered manta ray.

(35:12):
All of those things have come together in a story
and a video that has gone viral, and the question
being asked is did SeaWorld and Florida Fish and Wildlife
team up to make a giant error. We'll tell you

(35:37):
what happened right off the coast of Panama City Beach
in front of tourists on a boat. Next on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott, about a week and a

(36:06):
half ago, Panama City Beach based water Planet USA touring
company boat five men removing an endangered mantarray from the
waters and placing it in a small pool aboard the

(36:27):
boat for transport. So they captured this mantray, a giant
mantar ray, and they're videotaping it. The people on the
boat believe that they handled the animal improperly, fish fish

(36:52):
and very roughly, and the video seems to indicate that. Now,
first I'll be honest with this sort of shock that
you had that right there off the coast of Panama
City Beach. I just I don't know, It's like I

(37:12):
just expected them to be somewhere else. Stupid of me,
I'm sure. Apparently it was grabbed with the permission of
Florida Fish and Wildlife under a permit held by SeaWorld
because it's going to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, and the license

(37:44):
to capture it was issued by Florida Fish and Wildlife
to capture the animal for exhibition purposes. The statement made
by FWC the take of manna raised is prohibited in
state waters. However, the capture of the ray shown in
the video was permitted by a marine Special Activity license

(38:05):
that allowed for the take of one man array for exhibit,
exhibition and education purposes. Spokesperson went on to say, as
a citizen of this country, you have the right and
the moral obligation to address the Sorry not heard, this
is somebody with water Planet USA. You have the right

(38:25):
and moral obligation to address the issues with your local
representatives of our government issuing permits for the cruel and
inhumane capture of ocean megafauna such as the giant man
array for public display.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Now, if.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Their opposition is to the existence of aquariums, cry to
somebody else. If their opposition is, why are we taking
a perfectly healthy animal out of its habitat. It wasn't injured,

(39:06):
there was no point in removing this. Best as I
can tell, other than SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, which opened in
May of twenty twenty three, it is a research, rescue
and rehabilitation center. It's run by SeaWorld. It's the first
SeaWorld park outside the USA. And oh, by the way,

(39:27):
it's the largest indoor marine theme park in the world.
It's huge as you would expect. But if you, I mean,
look it up. Giant manner rays are sensitive, which is
in part why they're endangered.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
This story just hit me wrong, like we made a
bad decision here. I'm not taking calls. This isn't a
phone call worthy segment. Well at least I don't think
it is. But anyway, you're welcome to email me what

(40:09):
your thoughts are on this. I just I was always
under the impressive It's like manatees, you get and if
they breed in captivity, okay, that's fine, We're I would
love to say that we're taking those that are bred
in captivity of these various species and taking them back
out to the wild to help repopulate. I don't know
that that's what happens. Because they are in such a

(40:30):
you know, controlled environment from the moment they're born, that
thought might be that they cannot be returned to the wild.
I know that oftentimes their goal is to take an animal,
rehabilitate it from injury, sickness, and send it back into
the wild.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
But the idea of just.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Removing one to show it off, that just it doesn't
sit right with me. If I turned into a softy
or are you? Are you troubled by this? And then
just to back up to another point I made, I'm

(41:13):
still just a little in awe that those things are
off the waters right there. That makes me want to
rent a boat and do a little snorkeling and just
look for myself, because seeing one of those outside of
an aquarium and where you're that would just that would
be incredible, wouldn't it. But now there's one less seventeen

(41:37):
past the hour. Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 8 (41:40):
I don't maybe I'm turned into a sissy.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Twenty two minutes past the hour, still love SeaWorld. I do,
and I miss the Killer Whales shows. I understand the
decision two say yeah, we're gonna we're gonna change that
that program. I think if you could make a big

(42:16):
enough holding lagoon as opposed to a tank, and you
brought injured whales in, if they if they have them,
if they don't, you don't have it. I get it.
It's an expensive thing to keep up though, if you
don't have anything in it. But those are amazing. I
mean they're they're videos out there of people on kayaks

(42:40):
encountering an orca and jumping out of the boat and
playing with them, and they're playful. Now I wouldn't do it,
but they're incredibly smart. They're also pack hunters. Out of
you seeing how they will, like if a seal jumps

(43:04):
on a piece of ice to escape, they'll work together
and they'll flood the ice. They'll they'll create waves to
knock the thing off. It's they're just yeah anyway, not
on the subject of killer whales, just killers. Awkward segue,

(43:25):
but a segue. Nonetheless, don't try it at home.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
The word is that the guy was shooting for literally
the NFL headquarters. He wanted to go shoot up the
NFL headquarters because he's blaming the NFL for his brain
injuries that he claims.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
You know, he he had.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Mental illness, he claimed apparently left behind some kind of suicide.
Note that CTE was his problem. Chronic traumatic and cephalopathy CTE,
brain injury that has hit some football players. Some football
players develop it, some don't. And he wanted to blame

(44:07):
somebody because that's what this generation does, the previous two generations.
That's what are the last two generations. I should say
that's what they do. They just blame other people for
their bad choices. I don't know anybody. Well, I suppose
his kids. Some are made to play football, but I
don't know of anybody that's made to play football. Even
in high school, you don't have to don't play. And

(44:32):
he was certainly of the age to know, hey, it's
violent sport. He didn't play in college, he didn't play professionally.
But he's going to blame the NFL for his mental
issues because he claims he has CTE. Apparently that's why
he shot and killed himself in the chest. He wants
his brain studied fair enough. There are allegedly signs to

(44:54):
cte and if that's what happened, and it's ano okay,
this just in playing football is a contact sport that
could be dangerous. Now, children should not play tackle football.
I don't think children should play tackle football at all.

(45:16):
I think the earliest anyone should play is their first
year or two in high school. And then they should
be taught properly, not by jerks, but by good coaches,
teaching fundamentals, teaching how to properly tackle. And they're doing
all kinds of things. You know, you've seen the new
football helmets with the new shape, and then they'll have

(45:38):
some that have a little space that has cut three
quarters of the way around at the top. Why because
it provides a hinge. It takes impact. Think of it
as a bumper on the front of your car. You
have a bumper to take small impact and to lessen
the damage. That's the whole point of those little cutaway
sections in football helmets these days, to reduce the risk.

(46:00):
You're seeing those Nintendo helmet things that they pull on
over top their heads. Look huge, but it's patting. That's
what people want to wear. Cool. That's fine, But to
say that you don't understand that football is a contact
sport that's violent. Okay, what about lacrosse? What about rugby?

(46:26):
I mean there are sports that are dangerous. Guy got
hit with a ninety five mile an hour fastball in
the head yesterday in Major League Baseball. But thankfully it

(46:47):
wasn't worse. It could have been far worse. He got off,
he got on the wrong elevator bank, so he got
taken to the wrong building or the wrong office. Instead
of the NFL headquarters. He ended up at rooting management
and just shot somebody that he saw. I wanted to
shoot and kill somebody in the NFL, or multiple people.
So yeah, twenty seven minutes after the hour, that's latest

(47:08):
on that. It's all I have to say, unless something
else develops on that story.

Speaker 9 (47:19):
Decades of doing morning drive radio differently, doing it his
way like all blue Eyes, except he's not one of
the great decomposers. You know, it's not six feet under. Hey,
the morning show we Presston Scott thirty.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Six minutes past the hour, so I wanted to talk
more about this big story. Prime Minister of the UK
Caer Starmer said he's going to recognize the palace inan
state in September unless Israel does abide by my conditions.
Here's here the conditions the UK said, or else must

(48:09):
take substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza.
Reach your ceasefire, make clear there will be no annexation
in the West Bank, and commit to a long term
piece process that delivers a two state solution. Oh, the
arrogance of elected people. Every day since October seventh, the

(48:34):
horror has continued. But now in Gaza, let's take a
little bit of time and focus on that day on
October seventh.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
And oh, by the way.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Is it is it just a mirage or is it
Israel that's sending millions of dollars of aid and food
and resources to the people of Gaza. Is that what
people intent on quote genocide do or don't People committing

(49:19):
genocide do just the opposite. They starve them to death.
After all, it's genocide. We want to kill them. If
Middle East nations want Palestine to have some land, they've

(49:40):
got all kinds of it to give away. I got
all kinds of it, So give them some land. If
you feel so strong, we give them some How is
it Israel's re responsibility to give them land? Israel's already

(50:06):
got to deal with what's going on in Jerusalem a
temple mount. I have a real problem with the forgetfulness
of people like Hair Starmer French President Macron. What happened

(50:32):
on October seventh was an act of war against civilians,
violating the Geneva Conventions. What Israel done has done in
return has been unbelievably restrained, surgical, targeted, and military in reponse.

(51:03):
To even put them in the same sentence as an
insult to anyone's intelligence.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
This is why.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Starmer outs himself as an illiberal with this ridiculousness, because
illiberals conflate no, no, no, no no. What's happening and happened
in the wake of October seventh is a military response
to an attack on civilians. There is no moral equivalence here.

(51:42):
The other big story in the press box, Attorney General
Pam Bondi just took a an action against US District
Chief Judge James Bosberg, accusing him of him of ethics misconduct,
and hopefully they'll investigate and decide to have a big investigation.

(52:06):
I'm not holding my breath on that, but he should
be removed from the bench.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
But at any rate, forty minutes past the.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Hour, an unexpected criticism. Next, I'm gonna take some calls
next hour, and I'm gonna ask you if you could
pick one.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
To have to have his.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Or her day in court, an answer to their potential crimes,
what you believe? Would it be Hillary Clinton? Would it
be Barack Obama? Would it be Anthony Fauci, Would it
be James Comey? Would it be John Brennan or somebody else?

(53:02):
Joe Biden not talking about Hunter Biden, talking about people
that had official roles in our government, leading an agency
or leading a department, or leading the country. If you
could pick one, who would it be? And why? Give
that some thought? We'll talk about it next hour. Maria Shriver,

(53:25):
former journalist related to the Kennedy family, is livid. This
is insane. It makes my blood boil. It is so ridiculous,
so petty, so small minded. Truly, what is this about.
Let's get rid of the Rose Garden, Let's rename the

(53:45):
Kennedy Center. What's next? There is a bill by a
Republican to rename the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
after Donald Trump. Now Jose's in there, going who And
I'm like, oh, stop it. This is ridiculous. No, it

(54:12):
really is. This is about Representative Bob Ander of Missouri,
a bill make Entertainment Great Again, the Mega Act honoring
President Donald Trump's cultural legacy. I don't think he has one,
yet you do things like this years and years and

(54:36):
years later. What this is?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
This is an attempt by a guy to brown nose.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
It's not all that different than I don't know if
you've heard this one. I didn't know about it until
I read about it in town hall. The House Republicans
on the Appropriations Committee passed an amendment to rename the
Kennedy Center's Opera House as the First Lady Milania Trump
Opera House.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Oh stop it.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Now, See this just feeds this idea. And it's not
without some merit that the President's all about the President. Now,
the First Lady is one of the most humble human
beings ever. Does she ever attempt to take a spotlight?

(55:37):
And when she's in one, she handles it with incredible dignity.
Incredible dignity. I would think she's embarrassed by this, maybe
privately honored, but embarrassed still. Honestly, I don't blame Maria

(55:57):
Shriver for questioning this. You don't name things for people
while they're still in office. You wait, it's why you
don't put people in a hall of fame until they're
done playing. They have to be done playing for at
least five years to make it in the NFL Hall

(56:19):
of Fame.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Can we give it a little time, please?

Speaker 1 (56:24):
And by the way, what's the point of naming something
something after someone if you can just change it anytime
you want, So you're just sort of borrowing the name
for a while. I actually don't have a problem with
the fact that they named it after Kennedy. I don't now.
Was Kennedy a paragon of virtue keV No? Remember our

(56:48):
interview with Randy terror Borelli. No, it's a massive philanderer.
But that isn't what we base these things on, is it.
So this isn't about Trump, whether he's the right kind
of person and or the wrong kind of person. It's
about let's wait and see and find something else to
name after him. What are we going to strip the

(57:08):
Washington Monument and call it something How about the Trump Monument?
How about we chiseled the face of Abraham Lincoln off
the Lincoln Memorial and call it the Trump Memorial. After
he passes away, just chisel it off and start over.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
You get my.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Point, And it's just did we tear down the World
War One memorial to build the World War II memorial?
Are we talking about blowing up Mount Rushmore and starting

(57:44):
over with a new set of four No, this type
of thing hurts the image, and it feeds the notion.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
That it's all about Trump.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
And it's not but Trump's ego. He should have sent
a note out to when someone when this was rumored,
he knew about it. He should have sent a private
note to the representative from Missouri and said, thank you,
you're very kind, but please don't do this, and it
would have stopped. This feeds the image that people like

(58:22):
the view, the hostesses of the view, fuel CNNs, the
MSNBC's and all of that, when in reality, here's the thing.
Trump is this strange kind of dichotomy. On one hand,
he's Trump right, But on the other hand, why in

(58:45):
the world would you put up with all of this
crap and oh, by the way, possibly losing your life
unless you really want to help. He doesn't have to
do this, He doesn't have to take all this crap. Yes,
but he chose now I think his ego had a
lot to do with it, that other part of him.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
But still.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
I don't disagree with Maria Shiver. Just leave it alone,
leave it be, find something else to name. After forty
eight minutes after him, we come back Animal Stories on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 9 (59:22):
It's the Mad Radio Network where we challenge you to
make a difference in your world with the Morning Show
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
So, who would you want to have their day in
court first? Or if only one could have their day
in court, if only one we charged and put on
trial appropriately fairly and they had their day in court,

(01:00:00):
whether they're convicted or not. We'll see who would you
want to see or hear have to answer questions under
oath at trial under whatever charges were appropriate, Hillary Barack,
Anthony Fauci who phone lines are open if you'd like

(01:00:21):
to get in line. We'll take calls next hour eight
five zero two zero five WFLA.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
But first.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
In the wild or in our homes, We love them.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Critters, large and small.

Speaker 9 (01:00:32):
Time for another edition of Animal Stories on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
This is brilliant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
A zoo in Thailand used a mascot version of a
pygmy hippo. You know those inflatable mascots that you see
where someone's inside of it and they and they kind
of make it do really weird things by moving really
fast inside of the thing, but it's inflated. They had
an inflatable hippo charging the staff, and the staff had

(01:01:01):
to practice what to do to get out of the way.
It was hilarious. The video of this was absolutely hilarious.
They put a staff member inside the mascot of the zoo,
a pig me hippo named Moo Dang, and they had
this and they did a fake escape from the enclosure,

(01:01:23):
so the pygmy hippo escapes and everybody on staff had
to act or react appropriately. Too funny. Too funny. Control
team proceeded to close off the area bring the hippo
back to the pen safely. Watching that happen with a
mascot in an inflatable hippo suit was too funny. And

(01:01:48):
then robot bunnies are being deployed in Florida to fight
invasive pythons. The idea is get the pythons to swallow
the things. And then they tracked the pythons, robotic bunnies. Hey,
better than the real ones, right, we come back our
number three. Your calls eight five zero two zero five WFLA.

(01:02:12):
Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Here we

(01:02:38):
go third hour. Phone lines are open and I want
to hear from you. I get your emails all the time.
So and so needs to stay in trial. So and
so needs to be held in account. Who who's most important?

(01:03:02):
With what we've learned in the last two weeks, we're
now not just thinking, guessing, supposing, but we now know
Barack Obama was directly involved and orchestrating the Russian collusion hoax.

(01:03:33):
There have been long questions about Hillary Clinton, going back
to her days as the Secretary of State, Anthony Fauci
and COVID his lives to Congress, about the Wuhan lab
and gain of function research, and just the accountability on

(01:03:53):
the changes inside the federal government as it relates to protocol.
He gave not just bad advice, it would appear he
testified untruthfully. Millions of lives could have been maybe attributed

(01:04:16):
to him. And then there are others. So if you
could pick one person that you think should be charged
and then have their day in court.

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
Who would it be and why?

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Again, as always when I do these segments, I'm not
going to belabor this, but if you have an interest
in sharing your thoughts, I'd love to hear from you.
Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Ron has called in.
Good morning Ron, Good morning President.

Speaker 7 (01:04:51):
Thank you for all you do, and I believe Hillary
has a lot to account for. There was so many
stupid things that she said, as as far as expressed
as what was stupid, it was just terrifying. Was what'd
she say about Benghazi? What does it matter now? I mean,
isn't that just terrible? You know, wipe it with a clause.

(01:05:12):
I mean, what the level of ignorance is that it's
it's you know. I would really like to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
See her be brought to trial. It would be great
so of all the people out there, Hillary going back
to her time as secretary of State. Yes, all right,
fair enough, Ron, Thanks very much. I appreciate your call.
As always eight five zero two zero five WFLA. We
can't determine, with what limited information we have at this point,

(01:05:44):
guilt or innocence. I think a lot of us feel
deep down. For example, I believed from the very beginning,
Barack Obama was running a shadow government, and I believe
that that is in fact against the law. He was
not the President of the United States, but I believe
he acted as the de facto resident, through Joe Biden,
through Ron Klain, through all the different people that the

(01:06:08):
Congress wants to talk to now. During Joe Biden's four years, Remember,
Barack Obama is the one who famously said, never underestimate
Joe's ability to bleep up a situation. Barack Obama said that, well,

(01:06:28):
then why were they so behind Joe Biden. Because Joe
Biden was going to be the puppet for Barack Obama
was able to get done things that are remarkably unpopular
with people, destructive to this country, which is why Democrats
are pulling so low. Oh, by the way, and not

(01:06:49):
have his name on it. Joe's name is on it.
He could blame Joe. Let's go to Mike. Mike, who
would you want to see on trial?

Speaker 10 (01:06:58):
And why, Okay, it's a no brainer. America's own Joseph Mingola,
Anthony Fauci. He's the reason for all our problems here
in this country, from all the hell, from the education
being as bad as it is. I mean, he's worse

(01:07:18):
than Joseph Mingla was. If he calls a lot of
deaths over there in Nazi Germany, how many deaths did
he calls? Not only was he in bed with Big Pharma.
I mean we had the antidotes that would have helped out,
which was ivermectin, and they covered it up and said
it wouldn't work. So Anthony Fauci, for me, is the

(01:07:40):
one that needs to go on trial, and the sooner
the better.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Thank you, Mike perfect That's exactly what I was looking for.
Who would you put on trial? And why we got Ken?
We got Todd standing by what about you? Eight five
zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero
five WFLA.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Will it happened? Well, that's a whole nother story.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
We're just asking the question because we're now starting to
learn some things, not as much as we need to know,
but we're learning some things. Ten past the hour in
the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:08:18):
Thing Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred
point seven UFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Which public official would you want to see charged brought
to trial and have their day in court to have
to answer questions eight five zero two zero five to
b Fla, Ken, morning, sir, good morning.

Speaker 11 (01:08:50):
Hey, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be play nice
in the sandbox. I think it's none of these people
are ever going to be brought to trial. It's really
an indictment of how stupid we are, of like for
choosing these people to be our leaders.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Yes, but if but if you could choose one, who
would it be?

Speaker 11 (01:09:09):
Well, it has to be Hillary because as we we
kind of I think we have an understanding that a
president can't be indicted for stuff that probably that he
did during and when he was all.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Of this what if he what?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
But but the issue with Obama is he did things
while he was not in office.

Speaker 11 (01:09:29):
Yeah, it's kind of get yellow glue to the wall. Yeah,
but yeah, the whole group is just they're all nefarious
and dishonest. They can't tell the damn truth.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
Okay, all right, Ken, thanks very much. I appreciate it
didn't quite play the game. But that's all right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Let's go to Todd. Hi, Todd, you're up high press.

Speaker 12 (01:09:49):
And I think Barack Obama is the one they have
to go after and prosecute him. And even if he's
not found guilty because he weeds move out of it
just to air out his corruption. And really, what's so
dangerous about Obamas? He was trying to reset America. He's
an ideologue that's the antithesis of Trump and the MAGA movement.

(01:10:14):
And his objective was to remove Trump, whatever it took
to do that. And we have enough evidence to air
that out and and to show how how diabolically and
snaky he was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
I agree, Tod, Thanks very much. I appreciate the phone call.
Let's go to uh let's see here, Ira, Ira, thanks
for calling in.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Good morning morning.

Speaker 6 (01:10:38):
I told those aid we don't we don't prosecute former
President Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, don Crum, stay away from away.

Speaker 10 (01:10:50):
Their security clearances.

Speaker 7 (01:10:52):
Hillary should not.

Speaker 6 (01:10:54):
Be prosecuted, should not be a former first lady stay
away from her.

Speaker 12 (01:11:00):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:11:02):
But the rest of that happened to the extent the law.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
List you.

Speaker 6 (01:11:10):
Basically comy, we know how crew he is. But former
presidents and first ladies nate why this country I don't
think can survive it.

Speaker 7 (01:11:25):
We would become one in third world.

Speaker 6 (01:11:30):
It's not great at that point as near as we
have been.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Let me ask you this question before I let you go.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
And I appreciate your thoughts, Irah if by not prosecuting
things that are obviously for example, what we now know
Obama was doing during the Russia collusion time when he
was not in office, these are not acts as president
that some of them were, but what he ran when
he ran the shadow government.

Speaker 12 (01:11:57):
Don't we and then go ahead and then send him home?

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Don't?

Speaker 7 (01:12:03):
But we don't put Homer presidents in jail, Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
I just I worry about the precedent that that sense
when people know that someone's committed a crime and they
just get away with it because they're whatever happened to
that notion? Democrats love to float around that no one's
above the law. I'm going to get one more caller
here and then we're going to move on to something else. John,
you're up, hey, Morning Press.

Speaker 13 (01:12:26):
And I think Ms mcconum needs to be prosecuted because
when he was in power in the Senate, he had
the opportunity to knit all of this in the butt
that he participated. Him and met Romney, as far as
I'm concerned, if they'd have done their jobs, the rest
of the crew wouldn't have been able.

Speaker 11 (01:12:43):
To get away with what they did point.

Speaker 13 (01:12:46):
This is my personal opinion, which I hoighly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Expect, which of course you highly respect. John, Thanks very much.
And you know what brilliant call brilliant. I forgot about marbles?

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
I did? Oh, you know the BRESI whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
Sixteen past hour. We're gonna move on to something else.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
We come back.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
It is Wednesday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 9 (01:13:17):
FLA at w FLA, fam dot com. On your phone
with the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos S and Iheart's radio station.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
Lots of emails. Barack Obama is the leader by a
wide margin in the email list of people that folks
would want to see have to answer questions at trial.
He would feel that it is beyond the dignity of
the office to have to answer such questions. As I

(01:13:59):
thought about it, a lot of his crimes were committed,
in what I believe his crimes are, were committed while
he was still in office. I don't know what level
of immunity someone has when they're breaking a law as president.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
I don't know. I understand the.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Claim of immunity, but if you actually break a law,
I don't know. I mean, a president can't can't pull
out a gun and shoot somebody and kill him, can they,
with no cause? Not in self defense, literally commit a murder.
Some say, well, the act of sending troops into battle

(01:14:46):
and killing people is an act of merton. No, it's
not that. That's an act as president. I'm talking about literally,
you know, the old the old thing that Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
You know, I could choose.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Someone in the center of the street. No one's gonna
I see. I don't think so. I don't think so.
But anyway, that's to be debated. Ryan wrote in we
were talking about manar rays, the giant man arrays taken
off of Panama one taken off of the waters off
the coast of Panama City Beach by SeaWorld for their

(01:15:21):
Abu Dhabi SeaWorld experience and with the permission of FWC,
which you know a lot of people are questioning the
harvesting of that man ray for exhibition purposes when it
wasn't injured or anything. One of our listeners, I mean,
this happens all the time. Hey, have you ever been
to the Sea of the Museum of Ticks and Georgia

(01:15:44):
and someone's been there and sends pictures. Ryan was out
fishing and he captured photos of a giant man array
right there by his boat. He sent me the photos
sweet and also nice catch, buddy, not of a man ray,
but of a fish. Back to school shopping two thirds

(01:16:08):
of back to school shoppers have already begun purchasing items. Now.
This is National National Retail Federation doing the surveying Florida.
Of course, the tax free holiday begins on Friday. I
was like helping out with supplies for our grandkids. I

(01:16:30):
enjoy it. I'm weird that way. I so, I already
went and got everything. Didn't you want to wait for
the tax free holiday?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
I wanted to get everything that he needed. I didn't
want to pick through and have leftovers. I'm not I
don't do the clothing thing. I'm not a big believer
in you've got to buy a bunch of new clothes
for your kid to go to school.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I'm just not.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
I understand you want to look nice. One him or
heard it look nice. But listen to this. Families with
students elementary the high school plan to spend eight hundred
and fifty eight dollars on clothing, shoes, school supplies and electronics.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
Is that per child?

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
That's nuts? No, it just is anyway, Nah, not a
fan of that stuff. Online's getting fifty five percent of
the of the of the shopping department stores forty eight percent. Sorry,
how are they doing this here?

Speaker 8 (01:17:40):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
People are shopping in multiple places obviously, see I hate
this kind of thing. The National Retail Federation break it
down in an honest percentage point. Not well, eight fifty
five percent are shopping online forty eight percent, department stores
forty seven percent.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Discount.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
Well, we're already well over one hundred percent. They must
think I'm a product of today's public school system. Twenty
seven minutes past the hour. No, I'm an old school idiot,
Thank you very much. Big stories in the press box
coming up next.

Speaker 9 (01:18:22):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Struck off Russia's coast, one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded,
eight point eight on the scale.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
That's huge.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Triggered the tsunami warnings all around. There were some, but
not severe. It was remote enough that Alaska by the
time the ripples of the waves. Think about this, we're
talking north East Russia waves rippling down to Hawaii. Minor damage,

(01:19:13):
minor injuries, but crazy stuff. My goodness, that is one
of the big stories in the press box. Pam Bondi
taking action against US District Court Chief Judge James Boisburg

(01:19:34):
in essence filing an ethics complaint, saying he went to
a conference and tried to influence and may in fact
did influence Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts as well
as another dozen or two dozen federal judges by stating
just prior to him hearing a case that that Trump

(01:19:57):
administration with disregard federal ruling, federal court rulings and cause
a constitutional crisis. How is it that you're allowed to
preside on a case? See, this is why anything that
he presided over should be thrown out. You can't make
a statement like that of bias and prejudice against someone
that you are I look, look, when I started this show,

(01:20:23):
I naively used to interview candidates for judges, because some
judges are elected, they're appointed, and then they're re elected
by will of the people, and there are all kinds
of problems with that because you never really know what
their rulings are. So how do you make up how
do you know whether to retain a justice or not

(01:20:44):
a judge or not. So that's a problem. But what
I learned real quickly is they can't say anything. They
can't really tell you what they think because and it
makes sense, because they might get a case about that
very issue you're talking to them about, and their job

(01:21:05):
is to preside over that case, listen to the evidence
and render a fair verdict or in a jury trial,
guide the trial in such a way that it is
unbiased and jurors are allowed to make a decision. So
when you have a judge going to a conference saying
Trump's administration is not going to follow any ruling, they're
going to violate the constitution, how are you going to

(01:21:29):
hear a case involving them if you have a predisposed
opinion about them, That in and of itself is a.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Violation of judicial ethics.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
So anyway, I hope she, I hope she's able to
get this across the finish line. The problem with it
is that they're going to be investigating themselves. Basically, the
chief judge of the DC Circuit has ninety days to
review the complaint, decide whether to dismiss it, take correct

(01:22:00):
of action or appoint a special committee to investigate. So
it's up to what I'll say is a buddy at
least that's what I think. We'll see. We'll see where
this goes. United Kingdom's Prime Minister Caro Starmer said that
the UK will recognize Palestine as a state at the

(01:22:24):
UN Assembly unless Israel does what it says, which is
to lay the groundwork for a state.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
Let me just.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
Quickly share the folly of this. You have just rewarded
Hamas for its actions on October seventh. You have just
rewarded all of the uprisings at campuses and in cities
across the country of America and around the world. You
have just given them a win. You cannot do that. Sorry,

(01:22:53):
you cannot do that. What they needed to do, what
he needed to do is he needed to support Israel
in its role in taking military actions, even though with
great restraint. By the way, even though Hamas attacks civilians largely,

(01:23:14):
virtually no military action. Why because they're cowards. They don't
want to fight people who can fight back. That's the
way these terrorists are. They take on the low hanging fruit.
That's what bad people do. They don't want to take
a chance of getting hurt. Anyway, those are your big

(01:23:35):
stories forty minutes past. They are a laugh, a pretty
good one. When we come back.

Speaker 9 (01:23:42):
This mayor of Realville, he offers a state of the
Nation every single day.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott Mars not
the Planet, the candy maker. That's the company behind M

(01:24:13):
and ms and Skittles. They are going to invest in
an additional two billion dollars into US operations by the
end of twenty twenty six. Go have yourself some M
and ms my friends. Love it, love it, love it,

(01:24:35):
love it. Speaking of sweetness and goodness. DQ day tomorrow
it is Miracle Treat Day, where a dollar goes or
more will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
for every blizzard ordered. I know some of you thinking

(01:24:56):
you're probably getting a free blizzard for saying all of this. No,
and if I were offered one, I wouldn't take it.
I'd buy it. I'd probably spend ten dollars for a
four dollars blizzard and say give it to the cause,
because that's how I'm wired. Okay, punk now, I uh no,

(01:25:21):
this is just this is good, right, isn't this good,
aren't we the Mad Radio Network? Isn't it about making
a difference? Thank you very much. So tomorrow's your blizzard Day.
I'll remind you tomorrow what's your favorite blizzard. I'm going
to pull up the menu of blizzards that they're making

(01:25:43):
right now. We're going to talk about blizzards tomorrow. And
the iHeart thank a Teacher campaigns underway. iHeartRadio dot com
slash teacher teachers, iHeartRadio dot com forward slash teachers and
nominated teacher. They might get a five thousand dollars grant
four classroom supplies, just saying okay, promise something funny. This

(01:26:06):
is so funny. My sweet wife sent this my way
photo of out back steakhouse. I am absolutely livid. My
husband drove all the way to pick up our outback
order and you people forgot the blooming onion. That was

(01:26:27):
the only thing I wanted. And then she had a
one star review. I don't know how much later, but
sometime later that day, Diana writes again with five stars.
My fat husband ate the blooming onion in the car
and lied.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
I'm sorry. I don't know how to delete reviews.

Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
First points for coming back and admitting you screwed up. Second,
wouldn't you love to know how that broke down? I
read some of the comments, and some of the comments
were hilarious. One is, I can see it. He wouldn't

(01:27:18):
kiss her when she walked in the door, and she's
starting to think he's cheating. No, he's protecting the fact
that he ate the bloominn onion.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
It's the same thing, kind of cheated.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
I just picture that how that happens. I'll just have
a little break off, a little bit of a bloomin
onion here, and.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
It's like, whoa, that was good.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
Ah, just show it down on that thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
Have you ever done anything like that? Anything remotely?

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
Like at where you started eating something and just kind
of got away from you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Oh yeah, all the time, all the time. Yeah. What
like where you were supposed to make something for others
and you ended up eating it yourself. Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, make an excuse.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Oh you know, burned it in the oven.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
Whoopsies. Okay, Now we have talked about the fact that
that Jose is doing a water fast.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
My question for you is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
When it ends, whenever it ends, what is your most
likely course of action? How will it come to an end.
I am going to get a blizzard first, most definitely.
So it's going to end tomorrow, I I believe so. Yes,
So the idea was a one week okay, okay, and

(01:28:53):
then some chicken farmer's home.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
By the way, everybody spare me. I know about it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
Fat. I'm talking about the fat. He wasn't talking about
the fast. I'm talking about the fast. And so you're
gonna do a blizzard first, not nutrition. You're going straight
for the blizzard.

Speaker 10 (01:29:10):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Okay. What's the first meal gonna be? Have you thought
about it?

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
Yes, this's gonna be a chicken parmesan from village, village pizza, okay,
angel hair, regular pasta, whatever they bring out, okay, whatever
comes with it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
I might even get too and skip the pasta.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
You talk about carnage, there's gonna be carnage to seven
seven minutes. Let's see forty eight forty seven. I can tell.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Time Eastern seven forty seventh Central.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Remember if you have something you want, Jar Preston at
iHeartRadio dot com. I write to a lot of people,
but not everybody because it's just not possible. But I
write to those I try to write to everybody who
engages in a question or you know what have you?
If you share a link, thank you for that. I
appreciate it. But preston at iHeartRadio dot com simple as that. Tomorrow,

(01:30:22):
Steve Smith Zacksmith or Steve Smith Steve Stewart joins us
Zacksmith from Heritage. He has written a fascinating piece about
what is going on with the Southern Baptist Church, and
he does some historical digging back all the way back
to the Scopes Monkey trial and provide some fascinating context.

(01:30:46):
We'll talk with Zach tomorrow. We'll also give you a
road trip idea California man. He has won four different
one thousand dollars prizes this past year in California lottery
winning scratching off tickets. But he just won a fifth prize.

(01:31:07):
What a streak, A two million dollars scratch off winner.
He's gonna take the money, pay off his family's home,
and invest the rest.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
Good for you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Here's my question, scratch off or lotto numbers or coins
scratching the thing? Which way do you prefer. I've got
this feeling that you just you got a chance to
win more money with the lottery I don't know, there's

(01:31:42):
just something so as random as they both are in
my brain, I feel like the lottery is just versus
scratching off. But scratch offs are great for gifts, They're
just fun to give. I don't know you scratch off
for a lottery person. Something to think about.

Speaker 9 (01:32:04):
Brought to you by Barono, Heating and Air.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
It's the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
Show on WFLA, and that's about all the time you
should devote to it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Right there.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
That's it. It's just one of those stupid things. We
started the program with one Peter two verse nine. That's
where we began our our show today, Big Stories in
the press Box. Attorney General Pam Bondi just took a
major swipe at an activist judge US District Court Chief

(01:32:39):
Judge James Bowisburg. Good. See if they hold him accountable,
He's violated judicial ethics.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
That's not even debatable.

Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
It just is a United Kingdom to recognize the state
of Palestine unless Israel meets certain conditions. Maria Shreiver not
happy at the report. Public and Build rename the Kennedy
Performing Arts Center after Trump. So far all the email
agrees with me on this. It is way too premature,

(01:33:09):
It is unnecessary, it is a needless distraction, and it
just feeds a narrative that, quite frankly, Trump doesn't need.
The New York shooter left a note blaming the NFL
for a brain injury. That's according to the mayor. Giant
Endangered Man ray taken from the waters off Panama City

(01:33:29):
with the approval of FWC, and some folks are asking
why was that approval given to SeaWorld Tomorrow, We've got
a lot more to talk about. Can't wait, It's only
twenty one hours away.
