Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I never ever hear that song sung by that man
without crying. Never ever. It's like, oh my gosh. He's
a friend. His name is Rick Riso, and I shared
with Jose a little bit of the backstory and how
I became friends with Rick. But just a marvelous voice,
a tender heart who loves Jesus. He was a secular

(00:25):
musician for years and years and years and still played
studio sessions and probably still does. He's just a brilliant guitarist,
played with a lot of artists you would know in
the pop secular jazz music world. And brilliant guitarist. But
what a voice. He's just incredible. And I hope that

(00:49):
blessed you. Our verse today is is inspired by that.
It's Lamentations three, and it says in verse twenty two
and twenty three, the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
His mercies never come to an end. They are new
every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Yeah, that'll do. No

(01:12):
need to add much to that, right, that classic hymn,
that is a reminder of a verse that just anchors
your soul and reminds you that his mercies are new
each and every day. So no matter what always turn

(01:33):
to him? What do you say? Let's get started. It's Friday,
August first, Ah, get the Christmas decorations out. It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Still misty eyed. I couldn't

(02:08):
read this. August first, seventeen ninety, the first US Census
shows a population of what was the first census? Below
one million? Between one and two million, two and three million,
three and four million, four and five million. The first

(02:31):
census in seventeen ninety, What was the population of the
United States? What do you think? A little above one million,
three point nine million? Who wow, right, That's what I
would have been with you. Eighteen seventy three, San Francisco's
first cable car begins operation on Clay Street. I've written

(02:53):
a cable car in San Francisco. They're fun. They are fun,
of course, now you would jump on one to save
your life. Eighteen seventy six, Colorado becomes the thirty eighth state.
Nineteen oh seven, the Army establishes an aeronautical division that
eventually becomes the US Air Force. My dad was an
Army pilot for a while, got grounded, buzzed a farmer

(03:17):
a sheep farmers Field, in an airplane over in England
and he was grounded. He did other things and during
World War One, sorry, World War two, the first jeep
rolls off the assembly line in Toledo, Ohio. And it

(03:38):
was on this date that Rush did his first show.
I should know the year, but I don't. I'll figure
that out. It is also National Congressional Startup Day. Now,
I was fascinated by this. It changes annually, but this

(04:02):
year it is when startup businesses and entrepreneurs try to
meet with congressional representatives to plead their case. Make things
easier for startups. Boy, no kidding. I'm convinced there would
be far more entrepreneurs and single business owners if the

(04:25):
process was less cumbersome and complicated and expensive. It needs
to be less excuse me, less expensive. National Girlfriend's Day, Girlfriend,
Hey girlfriend, National Raspberry Cream Pie Day. At least it's
not a cake, right, I mean, I don't know. I'm

(04:50):
not as offended by a fruit pie. That just makes
more sense to me, though I would never eat it, never, never,
never never. It is respect for Parents' Day. It is international.
Is it mahong or majong? The game where you match

(05:12):
tiles that are It's it's like a it's a different
version of Domino's. It's huge on the Apple, Apple Store
and Google Play huge. They are all kinds. I want
to say, it's majong. It was okay. I played one
of those games for a while. Honestly it was too easy.

(05:32):
Well you only play the first level. No, I know,
it was just no. And it's National water Balloon Day, Hey,
I remember the days. There is such an art to
getting the water balloon right. If you don't put enough
water in it, it won't break. The balloon doesn't stretch

(06:00):
enough to make it blow up on impact. If you
put too much in you go to hold, it blows
up in your hands. And then you can always tell
a rookie water balloon thrower because they use the wrong balloons.

(06:22):
There are balloons that are right sized for water ballooning.
They got to be handheld projectiles, and you cannot have
a two handed water balloon. That's just an that is
a disaster waiting to happen. Even if now those are fun,
if you're dropping them from a from a like a
second story or something, and you got to target down below,

(06:46):
that's fun. It is fun if you get it right,
because then the velocity is enough that it'll break, but
it is natural water. Balloon to day, seventeen past the hour.
Can you tell it's Friday? It's the morning show with
Breast that's got what's to be Friday? Today is the day?

(07:16):
Just us Today. Got lots to talk about though, get
to the big stories in the press box in a
little bit. But first, did you know the whale shark
is the largest fish in the world. Whale sharks can
grow to more than sixty feet And despite the whale
and its name, it is one fish and it's not

(07:41):
as shark as we think of a shark. It does
not have teeth, It eats, it eats plankton, it it
it just it's they're massive. They've got two of them,
I believe two at the Georgia Quirum, the only two
in captivity. And they're just absolutely huge. So yeah, there

(08:03):
you go. It's not a whale. And just keep in
mind as you think about the size of this behemoth,
it was not Jonah in the whale. It was Jonah
and the fish just saying just saying, this is at
least something, This is a start. You ever heard the

(08:28):
name Sebastian co Some of you that are. Maybe you're
track and field enthusiasts a little bit older, you remember
the name Sebastian Co was a world class distance runner miler,
maybe the five k ten k in the Olympics. He's

(08:49):
the president of the World Athletics Association World Athletics Council.
They have announced any athlete wishing to compete in the
female categories of the World Championships will be required to
undergo a once in a lifetime test to determine eligibility.

(09:10):
Athletes will undergo a test for the sry gene, which
the organization says, quote is a reliable proxy for determining
biological sex. The SRY gene is attached to the Y
chromosome and triggers the development of male reproductive organs. The
test will be conducted by either cheek swab or blood test.

(09:32):
What I love the best about this is this statement
that Co makes. The philosophy that we hold deer in
World Athletics is the protection and the promotion of the
integrity of women's sports. It is really more important in
a sport that it is permanently trying to attract more
women that they enter a sport believing there is no

(09:54):
biological glass ceiling. The test to confirm biological sex is
a very very important step in ensuring this is the case.
We are saying at elite level, for you to compete
in the female category, you have to be biologically female.
But here's the brilliant statement. It was always very clear

(10:18):
to me and to the World Athletics Council that gender
cannot trump biology.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Boom.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now the World Championships, a massively important competition, will use
common sense? Will the Olympics follow suit? Will the United
States in all the various organizations federation? Will the LPGA
follow suit? Will Will we finally get this put to

(10:52):
rest in behind us? The dirty little secret is not
trying to be mean. If they hold a quote open category,
all you're going to have is second rate male athletes
dressed up as women. And no one's going to watch
other than four laughs. That's just a fact. Twenty seven

(11:17):
minutes after the hour, it's something. It's a start. This
is big.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Welcome to m a d radio network where we challenge
you to make a difference, and this is the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Did you make a difference yesterday? And by at least
one Frosty not Frosty Blizzard Blizzard. It is Frosty's at
Dairy Queen, a blizzard at the Miracle Treat Blizzard Day,
Dairy Queen. Did you get one? What'd you get? I

(11:58):
got the turtle? Did you? Oh? Yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
it was a partially Milton, I'm assuming because it was
so hot yesterday. Well, yeah, you gotta you gotta get
it right home or eat it right away. No, I
came like like soft out of the window. Oh okay, yeah, mine,
mine did not. But but I had the the Reese's

(12:21):
limited edition blizzard that they have out just this month.
And yes, I had two chili dogs, same two chili
cheese dogs. And the chili has a little kick to it,
just a little bit little spice. It's lovely, it really is.
It's a good bite it if you're into that kind
of thing. Anyway, we did our part big stories in

(12:44):
the press box. Don't know if you've heard about this.
Jake Tapper decided to ask Nancy Pelosi about allegations of
insider trading, and she wig out, why do you have
to read that? We're here to talk about the sixtieth
the nniversary of Medicaid that's what I agreed to come

(13:06):
talk and what that means in the election. She didn't
like it. He said, well, this is an accusation. I'm
asking your reaction. She didn't want to have anything, she
didn't want anything to do with it, and of course
she started the spin. But she didn't handle it well.
She said, I support the stop of trading members of Congress. Really,

(13:30):
do you now? Well, of course she does now, I'll
explain in a few minutes. But she doesn't. She doesn't
consider herself to be involved in insider trading because her
husband's doing it based on information I'm quite certain he's
getting from her. She was the Speaker of the House,

(13:53):
Josh Holly, Missouri. The Honest Act. It was originally introduced
as Preventing elected Leaders from owning Securities and Investments Act,
otherwise known as the Pelosi Act. It was changed to
the Honest Act because it was amended to include the
president and vice president. But now we get to the

(14:15):
second part of the big stories in the press box.
Holly's being called out by Donald Trump because he sided
with Democrats and blocking an amendment that would have investigated
Nancy Pelosi's trading. Rick Scott offered an amendment that would
have prompted an investigation into Pelosi's acquired wealth, and I'm

(14:40):
going to explain the significance of this. Holly would not
allow the amendment to go forward. He voted with Democrats
to block it. Now, that just doesn't make much sense,
does it. So the President's having it out with him.
They apparently talked yesterday more on that in uh, well,

(15:03):
I mean this is this is worth listening to. Carolyn
Levitt yesterday is asked about the rift between Holly and
the President.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
President has spoken to Senator Holly who called him, and
the President took that call. As the President said in
the Roosevelt Room yesterday, conceptually, he of course supports the
idea of ensuring that members of Congress and United States
Senators who who are here for public service, cannot enrich themselves.
And the reason that this idea to put a ban

(15:36):
on stock trading for members of Congress is even a
thing is because of Nancy Pelosi. I mean, she is
rightfully criticized because she makes think one hundred and seventy
four thousand dollars a year, yet she has a net
worth of approximately four hundred and thirteen million in twenty
twenty four. Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio, this was a fascinating

(15:56):
statistic to me, grew seventy percent in one and twenty
twenty four, and her portfolio outperformed every single large hedge
fund in that same year and even more than doubled
the returns of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Hmm, well you don't say more on that. Next forty
minutes past the hour, Friday, August First Show fifty four
to twenty two, The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ride him at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yes he knows how to read. Well, actually, his producer
reads him.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
He doesn't know how to read.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Forty one minutes after the hour. According to the trading
platform Autopilot, Nancy Pelosi's stock tracker took the financial world
by storm in twenty twenty four, delivering a fifty four
percent gain. In fact, it even beat Have you heard
of the inverse Kramer stock tracker? Jim Kramer, the guy

(17:16):
from MSNBC or CNNBC who thinks he's just the god
of all stock traders. This particular index or fund tracks
his trades and basically does the opposite. It had a
forty three percent gain by doing the opposite of what

(17:40):
Kramer recommends. Pelosi outperformed that. In fact, Pelosi outperformed every
major hedge fund. In fact, in twenty twenty four, they
averaged major most hedge funds averaged ten point seven percent

(18:00):
in a return, which is a great return. Pelosi fifty four.
Don't tell me she's not insider trading. This actually started.
The awareness of this started with Peter Schweitzer. Our friend
Peter wrote a book called Throw Them All Out, where
he detailed the insider trading by people on the Democrat

(18:22):
side of the isle and Republican side of the isle,
how they're cheating. They did some watered down legislation led
to nothing really, but someone posted online and tracked this stuff.
When she entered Congress in nineteen eighty seven, her net
worth was one hundred and sixty five thousand. You heard

(18:42):
what Carolyn Levitt just said, over four hundred and ten
thout million dollars now. In July twenty twenty one, her
husband purchased twenty thousand shares of Navidia Multinational semiconductor company
worth between one and five billion. The trade came ahead
of a vote in the Senate that set aside fifty

(19:04):
two billion dollars to boost domestic semi conductor manufacturing. Just
ahead of that, in May of twenty twenty one, he
bet up to six million dollars on Apple, Amazon, and
Google the parent company Alphabet ahead of a House committee
moving forward with bills aimed at reining in the powers
of big tech. He made a bet he won. How

(19:26):
did he know? How did he know to put that right? Then?
In because the meetings were coming. He knew the substance
of it. March twenty twenty one purchased one point nine
to five million dollars of Microsoft call options, less than
two weeks before the tech giant secured a twenty two
billion dollar contract to supply US Army combat troops with

(19:49):
augmented reality headsets. He knew it was coming. January twenty
twenty one purchased one million dollars of Tesla calls before
the Biden administration delivered its plan to provide incentives to
shift people from foster fueled cars to electric cars, And

(20:11):
then he sold thirty thousand shares of Google from December
twentieth to December twenty three, from December to December twenty
twenty three, before the Department of Justice launched an anti
trust probe of Google. It's amazing how he just buys

(20:33):
and sells just ahead of significant government action. How would
he know? You know the answer to that. Do you
remember back a few months ago we told you about
the fund that you can invest in that's based on

(20:58):
Nancy Pelosi's portfolio. It's forty five days after because she
makes the trades or her husband makes the trades, and
then it has to be disclosed, so the public knows
about it thirty to forty five days later. So this
particular index that you can buy, you can buy this

(21:21):
and I forget what it's called. It's it's it has
something to do with Pelosi in it. It's got an
underscore I think in it. But it's a fund that
you can invest in that follows what Pelosi does. The
problem is it's behind. See a lot of these things
hit because they happened before the news, whatever the news was,

(21:45):
was made public. That's the classic definition of insider trading.
Forty six minutes after the hour, four hundred and seventeen
million dollars of net worth.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Now, boy, that escalated quickly.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
I mean that really got out of hand fast on
w f L.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
A Oh, people are learning about doron Mam Donnie. All
his old posts and statements are coming back to haunt him.

(22:28):
We'll see, we'll see what happens. It could be the
vote of and people in Tallahassee know about this, the
just choosing the lesser of evils. Well, we all know
about it, right, We've all had votes like that. We
will We've had to just say, well, here we go. Obviously,

(22:51):
many of us try to be guided by our faith,
our convictions. We allowed those things to inform you know.
Yesterday and in the break, I was talking to Zack
Smith about a Chuck Colson conference with young people, where

(23:12):
he said, you make one big decision in your life.
You might think it's where you're going to go to college,
or what career you're going to pursue, or even who
you marry. He said, Now, the choice you make on
whether you're going to be a Christian or not is
the biggest, most consequential decision you will ever make in

(23:33):
your life, he said, because it informs how you live
your life. Now, keep in mind Chuck Colson's a guy
who was involved in the Watergate scandal that ended the

(23:54):
Nixon presidency. He got saved in prison. I think he
lied to Congress, perjured himself. Brilliant mind. Became one of
the greatest Christian apologists ever. Reading his books It's where
Justice Fellowship. If you've ever heard of the ministry it was,

(24:17):
that's Chuck Colson. He was radically transformed by getting to
know Christ. And he told these young people the decision
on whether you are a Christian or not acts as
a filter for every other choice you make. Should you
marry this person or not? Is this person a Christian

(24:39):
or not? Bible says, don't be unequally yoked. Do you
do this for a living or do that for a living? Well?
Does it run through the filter of you being a Christian?
Do you go to this party? He said, most of
you are going to college, He said, do you go
to this house party or not? Well, depends on whether

(25:01):
you're a Christian and whether you're operating with a filter.
It's a brilliant discussion. But being a Christian is a
remarkably consequential choice, and it's not easy. But I'll tell
you where it's harder. It's harder in third world countries.

(25:23):
Consider what just happened to a church in the Eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo and Congo and for many of you,
this isn't far away from Malawi, where we've planted a
home for orphaned children where they're learning the gospel of
Jesus Christ supported by Christian churches in Malawi. Islamic jiahades

(25:52):
bust in the doors of a church service this past Sunday,
killed forty nine Christians, including children, beheading them with machetes.
If they tried to run, they ran them down, brought
them back, hacked them to death. This is the Islamist

(26:18):
Allied Democratic Forces sanctioned rebel group with roots in Uganda.
This continues to underscore my concerns with the growing Islamic
influence in our governance, the attempts at Sharia law inside
our country. No, no, got to root it out. It

(26:42):
is not compatible here. But here's the difference. We don't
go wandering into their mosques killing them because they're infidels
in our way of thinking. No, we just say you're deceived.
There's the difference. Did you know about those forty nine Christians?

(27:03):
Tell me about your reasons for not going to church
this weekend. Second hour, Friday, August first, on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott Wowser's I said, to start the program,

(27:29):
it's time to break out the Christmas decor. Yeah, no,
it's too warm for that. Even with the cold spell
that's gonna come cold. It's going to cool off about
fifteen or so degrees next week early and then it'll
gradually warm back up. And we know, we know storm
season is going to ramp up. We know, we got it,

(27:49):
we understand, but still a little respite from the heat
will be will be lovely. But we start the second
hour as we prepare for what's to be Friday, which
will happen in hour number three. Some school related stories
sort of kind of. I talked about this yesterday back
to school supplies. Two thirds of back to school shoppers

(28:12):
had already begun purchasing items. Now today the tax free
holiday begins in Florida. School supplies and all the different guidelines.
You can look that up online if that's a thing
for you. But what I really wanted to talk about
was the list. The back to school supply list has

(28:34):
evolved over the years and it's gotten a little out
of hand. I think in that I wish that teachers
slash schools would just disclose why there need to be
twelve gluesticks and why two boxes of crayones. It doesn't

(29:02):
there's some things that just don't make sense. Why two
headsets for the tablets or little chromebooks or whatever they
get to use at times? I think it's this strange
kind of thing. What a lot of you do not
know is that teachers, almost all teachers pull out of

(29:25):
their pocket every year. And there are teachers listening to
me right now. They're clenching their teeth and they're wondering
what I'm going to say here. Teachers go into their
pocket all the time for supplies for their classroom, and
that shouldn't be They shouldn't be subsidizing things not in

(29:46):
their classroom that are needed to teach, that should be
provided by our property taxes. The fact that, look, when
I was in school, when you were in school, many
of you, sorry, you didn't pay for all the uniform
and the shoes, and you had stuff provided for you

(30:10):
for you to play sports. Now it's one thy, fifteen hundred,
twenty five hundred dollars to play sports. You're paying for transportation,
you're paying for officials, you're paying for everything, and it's
like that never used to be the case. Ever. Ever,
you might have to buy a pair of shoes because

(30:31):
you might have to your foot was needing a certain
type of shoe and you couldn't wear the team shoe
as purchased. But the bottom line is, I'm very much
in sympathy with teachers going into their pockets. What I'm
what I'm advocating for is just a little more transparency.

(30:53):
Some teachers will list these are optional supplies that we
could use for the classroom. Awesome, good, But there's no
reason to buy two boxes of crayons. Let's say twenty
four count of crayons. Buy one and if in the
course of the year, your child, my child, my grandchild,

(31:15):
whoever went through all those and needs another box, okay,
we'll buy them. But we don't need to buy two
now unless you're stockpiling for kids who may not get
their school supplies provided by their mom or dad or
a grandparent. Ask history tells me we're gonna need some

(31:39):
extra headsets, We're gonna need some extra glue sticks, We're
gonna need some. So if you don't mind, we expect
your child to use two glue sticks for the year.
And honestly, that's probably about right, maybe three, but twelve
now that's for other kids. That's for the classroom, and

(32:01):
I get it. What I'm what I think is important
is transparency. If you're providing T shirts for the art
portion of the class, how many do you really need
if they're gonna get grungey, dirty and covered in paint,

(32:23):
don't you need just one? I mean, it's gonna get right.
I still have shirts I work in that are grungy.
They're they're laundered and fine, but they're they're covered in
paint or they're covered in different things. Jose's got the
same situation. That's that's that's what you do. You have
stuff that you wear for when you're working. So I

(32:45):
guess my plea here is parents understand teachers are going
into the wallet and it's not it shouldn't happen. I'm
it just should not happen. I feel very badly about that.
My wife went into her wallet every year as a teacher.
That's a reality. Teachers just disclose if you are putting

(33:11):
fourteen thousand somethings on the list. Tell us why, I mean,
wouldn't it make sense. I'll buy a set of headphones,
and if they need to be replaced, I'll buy another set.
But why am I buying two sets at the start
of the year. You want to stockpile them? Okay, eleven

(33:31):
minutes past the hour, very important school related stuff. Next,

(33:53):
I'm a seasonal kind of guy. School's about to start.
I want you thinking. Jose showed me a video. Guy
drove up. He's got cameras running in his car. Hey,
you guys waiting for your mom. Two girls sitting outside.

(34:14):
You guys waiting for your mom. They said, yeah, yeah,
Well she told me to come pick you up. They
got in the car and he said, I don't know
your mom, and they start freaking out. He's going, hey, hey,

(34:41):
it's fine. What are you doing. You don't know me.
You didn't call your mom, you didn't check with her.
You just got in my car because I said, my
mom's your mom sent me and you don't know me,
and you got in my car. Now. I don't know
what this guy's gig is. I don't know if he

(35:02):
was doing it with the parents' permission. Or without it.
Bottom line is, you know he blurred out the girl's
faces and he was making a point. So part one here, parents,
instruct your children if you give them rides to and
from school of protocols, give them a code word that

(35:30):
if you send somebody to pick them up that they
might not recognize readily. Give them a bizarre code word
to give to your kids. Yeah, your mom asked me
to get you. She got tied up at work. Okay,
what's the code word? And if they don't use the

(35:52):
right code word, call the police. Tell them to call
the police right then and there. Bottom line is, this
is happening. It happens all the time. And you never
see those girls in his primarily girls. You never see
him again. Second, and it's video that's getting real a

(36:17):
lot of publicity across the country right now. Fairfax County,
Northern Virginia. Violent felon abducted a little girl outside of
food court. There's a little playground. Dad was with another child.
The girl wandered off and the video catches the girl

(36:42):
just walking away from the play area and she was
being watched. Listen to this. In twenty two seconds, she
went from being with her dad to being abducted. In
twenty two seconds from her dad to abduction, the guy

(37:07):
grabs her. He could have gone in any four directions.
The direction he went happened to be where the mother
was shopping for clothing, and she saw her daughter confronted
the man. He put the girl down and ran off.

(37:33):
They arrested him. They will not say that he's there
illegally or not. I don't know that he was. Andres
Caserez Jaldon he stole a car earlier in the morning.

(37:53):
Clearly he was patrolling and looking as a predator for
a little girl. These parents were unbelievably fortunate. Moral to
the story, teach your children and watch your children. These
parents were unbelievably fortunate. But all it took was twenty

(38:17):
two seconds. Seventeen minutes passed the hour more related to
your kids next, this is this story is sort of

(38:40):
kind of about about your kids, but it's more about
how the snakes are still in the garden in Washington.
I had no idea about this story. Now I had
heard about this spike back vaccine getting full approval from

(39:09):
the FDA. ABC broke the news. It's Maderna's mRNA COVID
nineteen vaccine Spike VACX. Yeah, we're still vaccinating for COVID
UGH spike vacs for children as young as six months
old through eleven years of age who are deemed it

(39:31):
increased risk got greenlit. The vaccine was previously available to
kids under emergency use authorization, but the FDA has now
handed over full approval, giving use of the experimental shot

(39:52):
despite the growing evidence of adverse events, including myocarditis, paracarditis,
allergic reactions, even seizures in children. I hope you're sitting down.
The head of HHS. Secretary of HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Junior,

(40:16):
was not briefed, did not know and did not approve
of this vaccine getting approval, but it got approved. It
got approved while he was on vacation. Now, ABC and
some of the other media outlets had reported that Heatherflick, Melleninsen, Mellonson,

(40:38):
chief of staff, Hannah Anderson, Deputy chief of Staff for policy,
were dismissed. It was described by ABC as sudden and unexplained.
That was false. Mellonson was not fired, but resigned. She
is a staunch Trump supporter. She was not fired. She's

(41:00):
a vaxx A skeptic. By the way, no word on
the other girl other than that she resigned as well.
But suddenly we're trying to figure out, okay, so who
approved it? Who said yes to this thing? Vina Prisad

(41:20):
at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research is allegedly
the official who approved spikebacks spikevax for children while everyone
was on vacation and never told a soul, just did it.
Investigative reporter Laura Lumer was covering this and found it

(41:42):
out and started to do some reports on it, and
he stepped down. Earlier this week, he quit his job
with the FDA. He was called by Lumer a left
wing advocate. So here's my thing. Kennedy suffered from the

(42:05):
same mistake that Trump made his first time in office.
He let some people stick around and he didn't clean house.
You remember us talking about that, you've got to clean house.
You've got to get all of Obama's people out of there.
You've got to get as far away from Obama's people
as possible. Trump didn't and it cost him. Now the

(42:34):
attacks from Obama, Clinton and others that that wouldn't have
been stopped by Trump cleaning house. But I suspect that
Kennedy has now learned that there are people inside of AHHS,
the FDA, the CDC that are not in alignment with

(42:56):
his views and the vision that he has to make
America and not just healthy again, but safely healthy. And
this is an example of it. So obviously, you do
you when it comes to these vaccines for your kids,
I will simply tell you there's not a chance on

(43:18):
this side of eternity, I would ever recommend my grandchildren
getting any of these vaccines that have to do with COVID.
Are there some vaccines I personally feel fine about. Yes,
there are some, but not all, and not any of
the COVID vaccines, none of them. Twenty seven minutes after
the out come back, reset the big stories in the

(43:39):
press box, Floor to man and get you ready for
what's the beef. Let's listen to White House Press Secretary

(43:59):
of Carolyn that she is being asked in the press
gathering at the White House yesterday about Nancy Pelosi's trading.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
President has spoken to Senator Holly, who called him, and
the President took that call. As the President said in
the Roosevelt Room yesterday, conceptually, he of course supports the
idea of ensuring that members of Congress and United States
Senators who who are here for public service cannot enrich themselves.
And the reason that this idea to put a ban

(44:30):
on stock trading for members of Congress is even a
thing is because of Nancy Pelosi. I mean, she is
rightfully criticized because she makes think one hundred and seventy
four thousand dollars a year, yet she has a networth
of approximately four hundred and thirteen million. In twenty twenty four,
Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio, this was a fascinating statistic to me,

(44:51):
grew seventy percent in one year and twenty twenty four,
and her portfolio outperformed every single large hedge fund. And
that's and even more than doubled the returns of Warren
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. So I think the President stands with
the American people on this. He doesn't want to see
people like Nancy Pelosi enriching themselves off of public service
and ripping off their constituents in the process. As for

(45:13):
the mechanics of the legislation and how it will move forward,
the White House continues to be in discussions with our
friends on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Net Worth just a reminder, net worth factors in whatever
debts are out there. It's like you have gross pay
and then after taxes and after payroll deductions, after anything
you set aside in your paycheck for a four oh

(45:46):
one k, then you have your net paycheck, your net proceeds.
So there's gross and net. In the case of net worth,
its net, which means the liabilities any debts that you
have are taken into account. She likely doesn't have many debts.
She's got nearly half a billion dollars of value, though,

(46:09):
and a bunch of that in the market, and she has, magically,
we detailed some of her trades, magically outperformed all of
the people who do it professionally. Somehow, her husband just
happens to be ahead of the curve on darn near
every single trade he makes. How is that possible. There's

(46:30):
no way that this former Speaker of the House is
giving information to him, is there. She was asked by
Jake Tapper on CNN about the allegation of making the
majority of her wealth through insider trading, and she she

(46:53):
flipped out, why do you have to read that. We're
here to talk about agree to talk about this. See that,
by the way, underscores something that I generally don't don't
engage in. I don't generally tell guests what I want
to ask him about. Sometimes I'll do it as a

(47:15):
courtesy because I know the volume of things that they've
got to prep for, but generally, by and large, I don't.
And so it's just interesting to note that she didn't
want to talk about it, so she would not have
She would not have appeared if Tapper's staff had said,
he wants to ask you about the insider trading allegation.
She just said, I don't have time. Just like when

(47:35):
I say to members of the Florida legislature that are Republicans, hey,
I'd like to have you on the show, or they
say we'd like to come on the show, and I say, cool,
I'll talk about whatever you want, but I also want
to talk about this. Click crickets, no response, no reply, nothing.
They don't want to talk about the employment of illegal
immigrants in Florida. They do not want to talk about it.

(47:59):
This is the that talks tough on illegal immigration. I'm
just saying, forty minutes past the hour, Florida man is
next It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on news
Radio one hundred point seven WSLA. You're already smiling, aren't you. Well,

(48:28):
if you read something insane, I probably did it. I'm
fond of wood. The block is going ahead and google
my name. Now there is no way to the sins
I have committed, and we all feel the bad when
we have somebody to.

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Man.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Yes, now, honorable mention goes to Chuck E Cheese, my
man who got arrested at the Tallahassee. Chuck E Cheese
was not supposed to be in the Chuckster costume. As
as it's been explained to me. He was a front off,

(49:13):
a front worker. He was either you know, taken when
people come in or he was you know, taking payments,
and that I think is where this all stemmed from,
you know, working behind the counter. But when he saw
police outside, apparently my brother ducked inside the back room

(49:37):
there and put on the costume, hoping, hoping against hope,
and it didn't work. He was not supposed to be
Chuck E Cheese that day. Now, that would get you
normally a Florida man portrait in the hall. But but no,

(49:58):
this is it's not on related because we do have
a costume the figure involved in this story, and sadly
we do not have the name of the person arrested.
But the announcement was made by Florida Egg Commissioner Wilton Simpson.
He said, our ag law team has a suspect in

(50:20):
custody who traveled from Pensacola to Orlando stealing Smokey Bear
signs from our state forests, selling them on Facebook marketplace
for nineteen hundred dollars each. So he's taking a jail
and arrested. But what makes this a brilliant So there's
your Florida man, to quote Wilton, who does this? Who

(50:51):
gives who goes and steals the image of Smoking the
Bear and then tries to profit off that Florida man.
But here was the best part. Guess he was there
for the arrest. Smoky in full costume, drove up, drove up,

(51:17):
and when they put him in the patrol car, Smokey's
holding the door. Brilliant photo, brilliant video. It was absolutely perfect.
You know Smokey the Bear. I remember it used to
be forest fires, only you right now it's wildfires. And

(51:44):
Sam Elliott is the voice of Smoky the Bear in
most of the commercials. And you know sam Eli, you
would know him if you saw him. He was in
he was one of the brothers in Tombstone. He's just
got that. He's got that voice. But I don't know
who the original Smoky the Bear voice. But the original

(52:07):
Smoky the Bear had a little bit more of a
I mean, like a second base kind of voice. He was, uh,
but that that was mainly stuff. But the Smoky the
Bear is an iconic figure. I'm trying to don't do
I do I have a Smoky the Bear. I don't

(52:29):
think I do. Huh. I thought I had a Smoky
the Bear bobblehead, but I guess I don't. Anyway, Smoky
the Bear is iconic. Uh makes makes appearances at schools,

(52:49):
and I mean, it's a cool mascot. It really is.
And and it was a genie. Whoever came up with
it genius because it has stood the test of time.
Smokey's been iconic for generations. He was a thing when
I was growing up, just a and that's yeah, bad,
But that's Florida man forty six minutes past.

Speaker 7 (53:11):
Come back.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
We will absolutely get you ready for what's the beef.
You will not believe the story that's next. You may

(53:49):
remember I shared the story of a husband and wife
years ago here in Florida were loaded wealthy, and neither
of them held a job. No, they didn't win the lottery.

(54:10):
It was welfare, various entitlement programs. They were fraudulently raking
in all of this money from all these different programs.
And we intuitively know that this happens, that this routinely

(54:30):
goes on, And that's what Trump's trying to get to
the bottom of. We want to help people now. First
of all, the churches ought to be at the forefront
of all of this, But the government is happy to
step in when the church or when people fail. Why
because it allows the government to then assert control. And

(54:51):
I think all of us would say, there is absolutely
a time and a place to help people, help them
get on their feet, help people that that have no
other source or means they're unable to work, or whatever
the case might be. There are those exceptions, There are
those people. But then you come across a story like

(55:13):
Candace Taylor, thirty five years old of Slidel, Louisiana, suburb
outside of New Orleans. She has been dubbed the Medicaid
Millionaire by the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General. State
Bureau of Investigation began looking into Taylor after receiving a
complaint from the Louisiana Health Department, saying she underreported her

(55:35):
income to qualify for Medicaid benefits. So you're reporting, So
are you actually checking when someone signs up? Are you checking?
Are you are you doing just even a cursory look
into various things? Well, it turns out, listen to this.

(55:59):
She was transferring money tens of thousands of dollars between
her personal and business accounts, with personal inflows always exceeding
the maximum that you can make to get Medicaid to
get benefits to the extent she listed a biweekly income

(56:26):
of nineteen hundred dollars no dependence. Investigators eventually found she
owned six different businesses that generated more than nine point
five million dollars between January twenty twenty and December of
twenty twenty four. That's more than two million a year.

(56:48):
Her accounts depositing deposits totaling five hundred just under five
hundred thousand dollars. But what really got things rolling was
the one hundred thousand dollars wire transfer to Tactical Fleet,
an exotic car dealership for a Lamborghini. She got herself

(57:11):
a Lamborghini. She's on medicaid. There are ways, there are tells,
you know. For example, I never think someone's using a
lot of wisdom if they're smoking heaters and they're asking
for money. You know what the cost of cigarettes are.

(57:32):
That's just that's a bad resource use of funds. I mean,
what are you doing? And maybe it's just me, but
I'm thinking that if you're on Medicaid, maybe buying a
Lamborghini's not the thing to do. Oh unless you're ripping
off Medicaid and you've got hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Just saying. So, these are the little stories to file

(57:54):
away when people are whining and complaining about doze and
finding waste government, finding waste in Medicaid, finding waste in
these programs, the abuse, the fraud. It's time for what's
to be Friday? What do you want to complain about?
Eight five zero two zero five to WFLA eight five
zero two zero five ninety three fifty two, to paraphrase

(58:26):
the immortal words of legendary Green Bay packer coach Vince Lombardi.
What's going on out there? I have one caller one one.
You're kidding me right. Three lines are open, which means

(58:50):
you are guaranteed to be on the air. If you
want to be on the radio program, join me, Preston
Scott is my name? Jose can you see? Is his name?
He's taken your calls. It's what's to be Friday. You
can complain about anything you want, get it off your chest.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of complaints have come over

(59:14):
these phone lines over twenty three years, and it's your
chance to just simply get it said. Whatever it is
it's bothering you. Eight five zero two zero five to
b FLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three
fifty two. We have won two basic rules. No profanity
and don't make it personal. Tell us what happened, but

(59:36):
leave the name of the business out of it. You
can even take me on and tell me how I
let you down and what you want to complain about me,
but again, just don't make it personal. Michael, thanks for
calling in and being patient. What's the beef?

Speaker 8 (59:48):
Well, press and we can talk for the rest of
the segment. If nobody else calls in. But anyway, well,
are you talking about all the welfare fraud? And you
see these little posts of these people complaining, oh, they
took this and they took this from me. First off,
I hate the term entitlement. You're not entitled to doodley squad. Okay,

(01:00:11):
that's welfare. They need to call it what it is.
Second off, as people like me who work in the
trades are out in the hot sun one hundred and
ten degree heat index all day long, sometimes working ten
twelve hour days, and we come home and we're taxed
to death to support a bunch of workless sorry, people

(01:00:32):
who don't want to work or are able. Body. Now,
I don't mind helping out elderly and people who do
have legitimate medical conditions that they can't work. Okay, I
don't have a problem with that, but I see all
these people is like, wait a minute, you're able to
go get a job. And then these quote single mothers,
oh well I have six kids. Well you know what,

(01:00:54):
maybe get up with your baby daddies and make them
start paying or there. Yet, they used to say, put
an aspen between your knees and that way you won't
get pregnant. So I mean, that's my beef. I mean,
I'm sick and tired of working like a dog. And
then at contax time, the government's got his hand out
take a big fight out of me to support this garbage.

(01:01:16):
So that's my beat.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Do you feel better?

Speaker 9 (01:01:20):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:01:20):
Or I do? And it's always a joy to listen
to y'all every day. Thank heuring the week on the
way to work, you know, I mean, I just enjoy
it and I like your segment. You know, what's the beef?
Lets people air their grievances and get it out there
and they have a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Hey, buddy, have a great weekend yourself, and thanks so
much for calling in. Let's go to Max. Who's standing
by Elomax?

Speaker 10 (01:01:41):
Hey, blessing, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
How are you? What's your beef?

Speaker 10 (01:01:45):
Well, you already said it, Pelosi. How in the world
these bureaucrats end up multi millionaires? I trade stock options myself.
I do well, but I don't do that well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Tell me this, and you might need to turn your
radio down just a little bit. What is the best
annual return you can remember getting doing a little trading.

Speaker 10 (01:02:11):
Annual? Probably twelve and that's a good year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Twelve percent is pretty good.

Speaker 9 (01:02:18):
It's a great year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Yeah, what would you think if you got fifty four percent?
You'd question yourself, wouldn't you?

Speaker 10 (01:02:25):
I would do it. I would take other people's money.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
I hope you feel better calling in Max. Thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:02:35):
Well, let's not let Maxine waters fall through the cracks even.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Oh yeah, no, kidd in there. Thanks very much for
the phone call. All right, eight five zero two zero
five WFLA. Pedro will be first, then Joel and we
got more callers coming in. Eight five zero two zero
five WFLA. It's just about ten minutes past the hour.
Quick checking weather in traffic. Now it is What's to
be Friday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (01:03:06):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
It's the second segment of audiotherapy known as what's the
Beef Friday? Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Pedro,
you are up what's the beef?

Speaker 8 (01:03:25):
Hey, good morning President.

Speaker 10 (01:03:26):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
I can hear you just fine, loud and clear.

Speaker 11 (01:03:32):
Yeah, my beef is with the actress that American Eagle
ad Stwainy Jose have to remind me who even her
name was. But the whole thing is just pure jealousy
from the left. They just hate anything that is not
like them. And it's just they're so bored with the

(01:03:53):
news because Trump is doing so good on everything that
this is what they have to go for, you know. So, uh,
it's an easy pick.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate you calling in.

Speaker 7 (01:04:05):
Pedro.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Good to hear from you. Let's go to the phone
lines and line forward. Joel standing by, Hi, Joel hey.

Speaker 12 (01:04:12):
Resting, Good morning, morning.

Speaker 8 (01:04:14):
My beef.

Speaker 12 (01:04:15):
My beef is there's a proliferation of AI stuff with
Jeffrey Epstein and Trump. It's going around the web and
you get every Tom Dick and Harry Live who said, ah, bingo,
oh look what I found, you know, and it's it's
there's going to be more and more and more of
this stuff because it's so easy to do, you know.

(01:04:36):
But people need to just be aware of that and
the fact that this stuff is garbage and don't pay
they attention to it. And for guys say, don't don't
think you found something because you have it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, the spread of that stuff and you know, people
on the right side of the aisle a fall prey
to it. They get stuff and they start forwarding it,
and it's just as fake as the stuff about Trump.

Speaker 12 (01:04:59):
Yeah, exactly, and it's going to happen more and more
and more. It's going to make think it's difficult. You know,
you can't have a situation where you're knocking down every
false image that comes up. That's going to take all.

Speaker 8 (01:05:14):
Year, all day.

Speaker 12 (01:05:15):
So you know, you just have to be aware that
this is a phenomenon. It's just part of our future
and disregarded.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Thank you very much, Joell. Appreciate the phone call, good advice.
They're gunny, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:05:28):
Good morning, Pressed, and how you doing down there?

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Terrific? How are you?

Speaker 9 (01:05:32):
It's fifty nine degrees in Packer Land in case you're interested.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
I bet the football players are excited to know that.

Speaker 9 (01:05:40):
Well, actually, I'm more of a Badger fan than a
Packer fan. But my beef is January sixth. Looks like
those peaceful protesters are being vindicated by some of the
things that are coming up and his investigations, and now
people got to start going to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
I can only hope you're right. Do you think you're right? Though?

Speaker 9 (01:06:04):
No, I really don't believe it will happen. Yeah, I'd
like to see some people go to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (01:06:11):
I think Barack was involved. I don't think you're going
to get there. Nancy Pelosi probably isn't going anywhere in cuffs.
I'd like to see Hillary get some heat. I don't
think she'll end up behind bars. But there's a lot
of judges and prosecutors and an FBI agents and things

(01:06:32):
that should be It should be maybe an alligator Alcatraz.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
There should be some nervous people inside the Beltway for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:06:43):
Well, I hope this all comes to light because the
press doesn't seem to be doing their job.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Well when there's nothing new in that is there Gunny,
thanks very much for the phone call. Be well up
there in Wisconsin. Thanks for listening to the program. Let's
go to John. Hi, John, you're up.

Speaker 13 (01:06:58):
Hey, you're mooning, impressing. Thank you for what you do.
I've got two real if you'll indulge me. I've got
two real quick beefs.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
What one is.

Speaker 13 (01:07:04):
One is from my wife because Wednesday, when you allowed
everybody to call in and you you finished off my
comment that it was brilliant. Now she has to hear it.
All week and she says, none of my hat said anymore. Anyway,
on top of that, my my my beef is concurring
with the earlier caller about Sidney Sweeney. I've listened to
what she said three times. She did not say anything

(01:07:27):
that was inappropriate. What she said was biologically factual.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:07:31):
But the probably the same people that are heard about her,
the same ones that complained about nobody was watching the
w NBA, and then when Kaitlyn Collins got in there,
they complained because they was watching it because of her.
But if you want to see an example of what
the problem is, go to YouTube. Look up an exchange
between Representative Iona Pressley and Representative Clay Higgins out of Louisiana.

(01:07:54):
It explains a whole lot. Y'all have a good weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Thank you, Thank you, John. And it was Caitlyn Clark,
by the way, not colleagues confusing the names. I've done
that before too, but Caitlin Clark. That frees up a line.
We're gonna go to Dave, then Gerald, and we've got
a caller Laura online one and then another line open.
We can fit four callers maybe five. Of the next segment.
It's what's to be Friday? Your calls continuing here on

(01:08:20):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, you'd never know
the advice you'll get dispensed during during What's the Beef?

(01:08:43):
Great calls so far today, Let's go back to the
phone lines in order of weight. We go to Dave.
Good morning, Dave, Welcome, what's the beef?

Speaker 7 (01:08:51):
Hi, presdent. Imagine you have a card that is gorgeous
on the outside, but you've already taken it to a mechanic,
and you know there's a hideous, ticking time bomb deep
down inside the transmission that only you and that mechanic
know about. And you sell that car to somebody else.

Speaker 8 (01:09:09):
And you laugh all the way to the bank.

Speaker 7 (01:09:13):
That's what happens when Nancy Pelosi's husband sells a stock
that's about to tank. And what I mean is what
I want your listeners to know, is when you sell
a Microsoft that's about to take a dive, it isn't
Microsoft that takes the hit. It's the mutual fund that
you and I and every other listener owns that buys

(01:09:36):
that stock that's about to take a dive, or that
sells the Tesla stock to him. You know he buys
it when it's about to skyrocket my mutual fund and
yours is the one that sells it to him with
his insider information, and we all lose. So isn't just

(01:09:58):
she belongs in prison for that is robbing all of
us directly?

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Well, Saul, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Well said.
That was well thought out. That was a carefully orchestrated
beef with just the right amount of emotion attached to
it to add emphasis. Well done, Dave. Let's go to
Jerald Gerald. You're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 14 (01:10:21):
Hey, good morning. Question. My beef is that someone needs
to the public works needs to get out and trim
back these trees that are blocking the information signs out
on the roads and the important signs like that is
very overgrown and it just needs to be cut back
quite a bit. That's that's basically what I've noticed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
What county here, Leon County? Yeah, there you go. All right. See,
we've got a lot of listeners all over the country
we need to know specifically in this one, so that
because I promise you we've got Leon County officials listening.

Speaker 14 (01:10:56):
I know, I don't know any other way, and I
don't know anywhere else but here.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Basically, gotcha, Gerald, Thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in. Yes, see, honestly,
there are certain communities that stuff is buttoned down. Here
it's really hard. I'm not saying it's an easy job,
but my goodness, there are intersections, there are turn areas

(01:11:21):
that have blind corners because of growth, that need to
be trimmed, that need to be maintained. And oh, by
the way, for all of the canopy lovers here in Tallahassee,
you're gonna lose it all because you can't control the vines.
We will not control the vines, and so the vines
will smother the canopy and eventually kill it. Just letting

(01:11:42):
you know it's a guarantee it's gonna happen. And we
are letting vine growth get out of control. We had
to be hiring goat farmers and bringing goats out all
over the place to eat these vines and kill them.
Two callers left. Let's go to Laura. Laura, you're up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
High? President love your show, love love love love love it. Okay,
Jerome Powell, I have had enough.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Had enough.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
He's crushing our young people's dreams. It's so sad. I
have kids, like your kids, ages that are wanting to
purchase a home, one of them anyways, out of the three,
and it's just it's appalling. We called the White House yesterday.
They were so sweet and kind. Everybody needs to do

(01:12:29):
it and get on this jerk. I thought there were
plenty of excuse me that person. I thought there were
plenty of government empty buildings and what he's doing. So
we're asking that the President shut him down. You know,
twice twice before the election, twice he lowered that interest
rate twice. It was nothing near the economy we have

(01:12:51):
now or anything that's going on obviously, so I am
over him. I cannot believe he cannot be removed. But
it's time to fight back. Throw that brick back in
that office of his and say, you know what, I
think we should do an investigation. I'm the taj Mahal
that's being built right now. You got to be kidding me.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
This guy is he.

Speaker 6 (01:13:14):
Is beyond beyond. Okay. I've never ever called to complain
about anybody in the government, either side, but I'm done
with him. And they tell me in Washington, we're not
the only people complaining it is so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
So that's my.

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Beef, and shame on Jerome pal it's so political. Thank
you for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
Absolutely. Laura, by the way, what do you really think?
I mean, what do you really think about Jerome Palell.
I'm just curious. No, well done, that was good. I
felt the passion. That's what we're looking for here. Richard,
good luck following that up. But you're the final caller. Brother.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Oh cry my baby person is an he kept stickers
in cars. You've got people that pull in these handicapped
spots and they pretty much get out and just run.
You know. I'm sure there's an issue or something like that,
but I think the state gives them out too easily.
I mean, I've got to say, hip, I broke it

(01:14:13):
and had it replaced. I could qualify, but I just
they're made for people that are handicapped, not for people
that just won't to get one because they can. And
that's my beef. I mean, it just burns me up
to see them not having a problem when they get
out of the car.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Thank you very much. You know, I've had people say, well,
that's that's because they drive someone who's handicapped and that's
fine if you're driving that person who's handicapped. But I
too see people that are very able bodied taking up
those spots and they don't have anybody else in the
car with them, and it makes me scratch my head.

(01:14:52):
I know I'll get some pushback, which means Richard, you're
getting pushedback, not just me. I'm not dying on this
hill alone. But yeah, we aggravating. All right, we're gonna
come back. We are going to be joined by Devon
from Esposito's Garden Center. What do you plant when it's
this hot? What do you get to grow when it's
this hot? From the ground up? Next on The Morning

(01:15:14):
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (01:15:21):
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
Well, we thought we were going to talk with Devon
from Esposito's Garden Center, but something must have come up.
It happens he's a landscape designer. There folks at the
store describe him as a plant phenom. Well, if you're
a landscape designer, you certainly should be a plant phenom.
You better know your plants. But I'll just stay in

(01:16:05):
the garden theme for just a second, because it actually
connects to one of the beefs in the last segment,
and that is the summer heat. It has been really
challenging depending on you know, where you are in the
listening area and whether you're getting constant rainfall or not.
It's tough when the heat's this hot because plants wilt

(01:16:31):
and wither in this kind of heat. And so I've
had to be very very intentional about where I plant
things and what I plant where. There's certain things that
I just know are not going to grow without direct sunlight.
But now that we have this much heat as we've

(01:16:51):
had the last few weeks, well, I got a water
it almost every day, just have to. And then there's
the inverse. Okay, recognize seeing your shade. One of the
biggest mistakes I think people make when they're when they're
you know, dealing with finding plants for their yard, is
they go without knowing the exposure. How much sunlight are

(01:17:11):
you actually getting? You know, I had mentioned that I've
got I've got one of my clients at Ease Tree Service.
They're coming out and they're cutting back some trees. They're
not removing trees, they're just they're cutting back some limbs
and so forth because I've got too much shade on
parts of my lawn. Well, that changes the entire growth
of patterns for the lawn, and it then defeats the

(01:17:33):
purpose of the type of grass I planted. I was
very you know, specific in the type of grass I
wanted in my yard. I wanted to go with a
hybrid zoysius. So I've got what's called a palisade zoysia
that tolerates some shade, but not as much as I've got.
So I'm getting, you know, I'm getting more sunlight to
some areas of my yard while maintaining shade in others.

(01:17:56):
But the big thing that I think, you know, I
I have maintained whoever figures out what you can spray
on these vines that grow here. And there's some vines
that are good, that are fragrant, that are great for
bees pollinators, but most of them are not, and all

(01:18:20):
of them have to be maintained or else you will
get a canopy that is killed. And so you know,
I've mentioned this before, and I said something to my
wife about this this week when I was out pulling
some vines off of I've got some us that I

(01:18:40):
planted in a certain area, and some vines were growing
up on them, and as I was pulling them out,
I noticed those little I call them like tentacles. As
the vine grows, they spread by grabbing and wrapping around,
and I just got to thinking, boy, if that's not
an absolute per picture of sin in the camp, the

(01:19:04):
way those vines with thorns wrap around and just squeeze
and there you go. It's It's so as I go
through my garden, I am being reminded of God's creation
and the consequences of the fall. But whoever invents something

(01:19:29):
that will kill vines down into the ground, they say
it does, It doesn't. It doesn't kill the tuber. Most
of them have these little tubers and pods that are
in deep in the ground and they just keep growing.
Whoever figures that one out, that person's going to be rich.
Forty minutes past the hour, come back with some good

(01:19:51):
news here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Welcome to Them, a d radio network where we challenge
you to make a difference in your world in a
positive way, improving the lives of others.

Speaker 5 (01:20:05):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
This is as different a good news segment as perhaps
I have I have ever done. But trust me when
I tell you this, this is this is good news.
It's it's a video that some of you may have seen.

(01:20:45):
I'm guessing it's been around. I don't know. I have
no idea. It was sent to me by one of
our boys and and he said it with in case
you want to laugh to start your day. And I
looked at it and yeah, I laughed. And then I
shared it with those and he laughed. And to set

(01:21:10):
it up, this is a husband and wife in Ireland
and they are attempting to record a video to their
daughter about the birth of their grandchild. And I hope

(01:21:34):
this comes across. The video is useful, the audio is enough.

Speaker 9 (01:21:43):
Hi.

Speaker 14 (01:21:43):
I wanna hope you're havn't a wonderful time. I hope
it down to your hold.

Speaker 9 (01:21:50):
Your sorry enough.

Speaker 15 (01:21:57):
We're not used to make convint.

Speaker 9 (01:22:01):
I know everything that the fun.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Stop.

Speaker 15 (01:22:06):
Everything will be fine for your doll. Sorry, oh sorry, love,
we have the the chuckles now.

Speaker 7 (01:22:27):
Anyway.

Speaker 15 (01:22:28):
I can't wait to see her holder in our arms.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
I'm sorry, that's back. Sorry, Sorry, he's laughing at me.

Speaker 7 (01:22:50):
Sorry, sweeter, love you lots, sorry for that and so much.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
It's just looking at the two of us on the
camera and what we really do mean sincerity? Oh my goodness, gracious,

(01:23:20):
they couldn't get it out. They just couldn't. They were
they clearly were looking at themselves in the they had
turned the camera they you know, you know the old
video cameras where you would turn it and it's probably
their cell phone, and they're just looking at themselves do
this and they just feel like they look ridiculous, and

(01:23:40):
they can't stop laughing at them, at themselves. That just
here's the point. The Bible says that laughter is medicine
for the soul. It it heals, it has benefits, and

(01:24:11):
so have a laugh now and then, and if you
find something that makes you laugh, that's good news. Forty
six minutes after the hour, it's the Morning Show with
Breasted Sky. Okay, let's get a dad joke done. Something
