Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
For the five thousand, four hundred and twenty fourth occasion. Yes,
the Morning Show with Preston Scott, it is August the fifth,
and I will make sure I keep that straight here
today on the program. Hello friends, welcome to Tuesday. Wet outside.
It's just wet and icky and dah, it's sticky out there,

(00:28):
and it's gonna be for the week, my goodness, gracious. Anyway,
that's what happens in the summertime. It's our We are
in our monsoon season, so we will suffer together. But
that's the beauty of what we do. You can take
us wherever you go. Little pocket transistor radio boom, got us.

(00:51):
A got a cell phone, a smartphone boom anywhere around
the world. If you've got a cell phone signal, you
got us. Come on, how good is that? He's oseh,
I'm Preston. We are starting today with a continuation of
where we were yesterday and Matthew four the Temptation of Jesus.

(01:17):
Today we pick up where the devil took him verse five,
to the Holy City, set him on the pinnacle of
the temple, and he said, if you are the son
of God, throw yourself down, For it is written he
will command his angels concerning you, and on their hands

(01:37):
they will hear you lest you strike your foot against
the stone. Now is that really what scripture says? Psalm
ninety one eleven and twelve said, he will command his
angels concerning you. On their hands, they will bear you
up lest you strike your foot against the stone. But
he said, if you are the son of God, he said,

(02:03):
God's like he's testing Jesus in a way to just
kind of take scripture and twist it a little bit.
And Jesus said, it is written you shall not put
the Lord your God to the test. Now here's my question. First,

(02:25):
we fall for the same bait and switch all the time.
Did God really say that if you ate of that
you is that really what God said? Did God really
say that you need to be faithful in your vows?

(02:47):
Did God really say? Is that really what it means?
It's this same game, and Jesus's words are a real
strong reminder that to do something that you know is

(03:09):
wrong with the with the idea that well, God's angels,
God's word will protect me. He says, He'll forgive me.
Jesus said, don't put God to the test, and That's

(03:32):
what worries me about people who claim Christian status. They're
having an affair. You know it's wrong. You're you're looking
at porn, you're addicted to alcohol, you're you're breaking laws.

(03:52):
I mean it just and you're like, well, God will
forgive me, and you just go to church and you
think that gets it done. It could if you change
your behavior, if you say, Lord, I need your help
to not do X, Y and Z again, and I'm
not doing it again. I'm sorry, Lord, I have sinned

(04:14):
against you and perhaps others. This is the second of
the temptations that Satan throws at Jesus. And what does
Jesus respond with the word of God. He just keeps

(04:34):
drilling him with God's word. Make sure that you're not
putting God to the test in the midst of whatever
temptations you are dealing with. Follow Jesus. Ten past the hour,

(04:56):
come back. Take a look at this date in history,
which is August five, not going to be wrong by
a day which I was yesterday. I had to do
a do over history segment inside the American Patriots Almanac.
Would go next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott

(05:34):
Vocahontas urging the Democrat Party to get behind a socialist unbelievable,
it really is, and they wonder why the Democrat Party
is splintered and cannot find traction because you've got absolute,

(06:00):
raging idiots like her speaking. It's better to let people
think you're dumb than to open your mouth and remove
all doubt. But August fifth, seventeen seventy four, George Washington
elected to the Continental Congress as a delegate. Eighteen sixty one.

(06:20):
Federal government levy's its first income tax. Hey'll pay for
the Civil War? Yeah? Eighteen sixty four. Admiral David G.
Farragut leads a Union fleet against Mobile Bay, Alabama. Eighteen
eighty four. The cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty is laid.
Nineteen fourteen. First electric traffic lights installed in Cleveland, Ohio.

(06:44):
What Cleveland? An American band stand hosted by Dick Clark,
debuts on National TV in nineteen fifty seven. What a show?
What'd you think of that song? Well, I've I thought
it was peppy and had a great beat. Thank you, Junior.
What about you? Missy? I thought it was really cool.

(07:07):
I thought it was swell. Dick Clark man I still
remember the Far Side comic that Gary Larson was just
a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant cartoonist, and he drew a cartoon
the moment Dick Clark aged, because Dick Clark just didn't age,

(07:31):
and they show him on us. He showed him on
a set of a talk show or something, and all
of a sudden, everything in his body starts shaking, and
his skin SAgs and drops and everything goes at once.
It was just it was funny. I don't know why
I laughed at it. It happens to us all, some

(07:52):
more gracefully than others, no doubt. Let's see here it
is National Night Out Day. I had to look this up.
This has to do with police and community working together
on things. Okay, it's National Underwear Day. If that doesn't

(08:13):
prove that we've got a little too much time on
our hands. Hey, is there a day that honors underwear?
Not sure? Let's look it up. Oh there isn't. Why

(08:33):
not August the fifth? Why it sounds good to me? Bob? Okay,
National Underwear Day? It is thanks? What do we do
make sure you wash your endies? I mean, I don't
know what's the point it is national work like a

(08:55):
dog day. Some of you are like, really, like that's
every day. I get it. I will not say that
I live that At this stage in my life. I
used to. I don't anymore. What I do is I mean,
I've never had a job that I thought was work.

(09:17):
There are certainly times in my life where I worked very,
very very hard. It was like a constant. But I
would say the last eighteen years, I've gotten to just

(09:41):
love what I do, which I've done at every job
I've ever had, I've loved what I've done. I've been
very fortunate, but I've gotten to just kind of get
into a flow of my work and it's been just
enjoyable and I'm grateful. In today's National Oyster Day, Yeah,

(10:04):
I know you like oysters and you like raw oysters.
No no, no, no no no no no no no no, yeah,
especially like the Rockefeller kind. Yeah, I get it. I
and I don't. I mean, I've had some cooked oysters
where they're you know, they're steamed, and they're they're not dangerous.
More on that later, but nah, just grabbing an oyster

(10:30):
and throwing it down the hatch, uh huh huh uh
huh Nope, nope, it's like eating a booger. I'm sorry,
I can't get I can't do it. I can't do it.
Seventeen minutes past the hour, everybody's inadvertently done. Never mind.

(10:57):
Did you know the two highest grossing films in the
nineteen fifties were The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur, both
starring Charlton Heston. Here's what I want you to focus on.

(11:19):
The two top grossing movies in that decade were movies
that revolved around God. Isn't that interesting? Talk about a
shift in culture? I mean the Ten Commandments? Hello mel

(11:41):
Brooks from I forget what movie was, I'm coming down,
but the fifteen fifteen and he drops one of them
ten ten Commandments anyway, and then ben Her Ben Her

(12:02):
really is about Jesus and the impact he has on
a Roman soldier, Ben Her. Isn't that fascinating? It's a
snapshot of culture right there. That's what that is, speaking
of snapshots of culture. Now, I have not watched all

(12:25):
of the episodes of Alone. No, wait a minute, I'm
caught up. Now forget that, I am caught up. I
want to say there's one, maybe two more episodes left,
but starting in September, one of my other favorite shows. Now,
it's not like Alone. Alone is just unique and unto

(12:46):
itself because if you've not heard about the show Alone
on the History Channel, they videotape themselves. There are no
cameramen other than when they tap out and then they
send a crew in to record what happens. They're recording
everything that they do on their own, their encounters. And
I will tell you this must be brutal. The Great

(13:06):
carew Desert of South Africa. It must be brutal, because
I have never seen this series vanquish more people quickly. Ever,
the majority of the of the cast, the ten competitors,
seven of them are out with inside three weeks of

(13:30):
real time. That's incredible when you consider there are seasons
where it goes sixty seventy one hundred days. We're talking
less than twenty one days. Most of the cast is
gone gone. That's how brutal this location turns out to be.

(13:53):
And if you look at it, it's like e but
oh no, oh no, no, no anyway, Mountain Men. I
don't know if you've ever seen it, Mountain Men. And
they they've had different people on the show. There have
been a few constants like their oldest mountain Man is

(14:13):
an eighty one year old dude named Tom Orr. Tom
and his wife live in Montana. They've built for themselves
a beautiful cabin and all of that over the years,
just literally built it themselves type stuff. And at this
point he's basically a fur trader. He's a trapper and
a fur trader. But he was an old cowboy back
in the day, rough and tough, rodeo guy and just

(14:38):
a delightful soul. He it really is. But the show
is about couples, guys living in the wilderness of Montana,
or they had a guy in the Carolinas, or in
the Appalachians, Alaska, and and they're just in these remote

(15:02):
locations and they obviously they've got a film crew. They're
not filming it themselves. But it's a really interesting show
that gives you a snapshot of how some people are
living in this day and age, basically completely off grid,
limited connection to the modern world. And so the new

(15:29):
series begins September third, eight o'clock's eastern, seven o'clock Central.
It's a Wednesday night show on the History Channel, and
this apparently is going to be the final season for
Tom Moore, eighty one years young, and he's in the

(15:50):
last few years he's been passing along his secrets to
a young man and his son kind of taking him
under his wing and taught him what he knows type thing.
And it's been fun to watch. But we're going to
try to have someone from the show on the program.
At the very least, you're going to get somebody involved

(16:11):
with the production team, because most of these people live
in the West and the time and being off grid.
It's just a challenge to get them. But we might,
we might, we might get lucky. But either way, we're
gonna we're gonna talk a little bit more about this show.
But I highly recommend the program. It's it's really it's

(16:31):
fascinating stuff. All right, twenty eight past the hour. You
do not want to miss the big stories one in particular,
all right, thirty six past the hour headline Florida News

(16:54):
Flesh eating bacteria leaves eight dead, thirty two sick in
two dates. And this is of course Florida and Louisiana
that are mostly dealing with this. You hear about it,
and this falls into those This is again, if you're

(17:16):
new to Florida, there's a couple things to learn here
if you're not new to Florida and you've just kind
of gotten lax and understanding the importance of making sure
that if you go into the ocean this time of
year and you have a wound on your body and

(17:38):
it's not covered with a waterproof bandage of some kind,
you're foolish. I'm sorry, you just are. I do it
all the time. Well whatever, pirate, Joe, I don't care.
It is. It is Vibrio or Ibo vilnephicus. There are

(18:04):
multiple strains of Vibrio, but this particular one is the
one that causes significant problems, as in, within a day
or two, you can be dead or you can lose
a limb. That's what happens in seventeen of the cases

(18:34):
in Louisiana, seventy five percent had an open wound and
seawater exposure. In Florida, there are thirteen confirmed cases, four
deaths so far. One in five people with this infection

(18:56):
dies within a day or two of becoming ill. Water
Proof bandages if you're going in brackish or seawater, water
proof bandages. If you have an open wound of any kind,
that's just that's it. That's the rule. There are different

(19:21):
kinds of vibriosis cases eighty thousand of them in the country,
but this particular strain is the one that causes difficulties.
CDC lists the symptoms diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, fever, chills,
extreme cases, ear infection, sepsis, and then you've got your

(19:41):
life threatening infections. A lot of people with vibrio valonaficis
end up getting seriously ill and need intensive care or
limb amputation. So I share this to keep you off
the beaches. But it's to me, it's no different than riptides,

(20:06):
flags other things. It's just something to be aware of,
and you can mitigate risk by simply waterproof bandage, little
liquid skin maybe on it. Waterproof bandage, and if you
need a little gauze over top of that, just to
keep that bandage in place. And then the other big

(20:26):
story is very unusual. I'll spend more time on it.
Unusual in that it's a big story. The New York
Post is going to expand west next year. They will
be debuting the California Post. I love it, I love it,

(20:47):
I love it, I love it. They've done some promotion
of it. I want to talk about that, but I
want to talk about what I think is going to
be interesting about the presence of this newspaper in Californi.
So we'll get to all of that forty minutes past
the old A little follow up to a discussion we

(21:07):
had yesterday on the show Next Oh God.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Day on News Radio one hundred point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Third hour of today's radio program will feature a visit
with Hans von Spakowsky of the Heritage Foundation. He is
a constitutional scholar. He is a long time guest on
the program. I would call him a friend of the show.
Delightful man, brilliant in his understanding of the courts of

(21:50):
America and his analysis of I wanted to get his
thoughts on the last set of cases the Supreme Court
ruled on where we got the majority of rulings in June,
but the spring session of cases that went into summer rulings,
and then we've got the fall session coming up, so

(22:11):
we'll kind of look at at the cases that were
ruled on. What he thinks of those rulings, anything overtly surprising,
anything noteworthy beyond the rulings themselves. There's always some I
don't know some subtleties there. We'll look at some cases

(22:32):
to come. But we're also going to talk to him
about something I came across called the shadow docket. You
ever heard of the shadow docket? Yeah? Yeah, we're going
to talk about that. There are some alarms being wrung

(22:52):
about the Supreme Court's handling of what is called the
shadow docket, and we'll get Hans to explain that and
get his thoughts on it as well. Yesterday we spent
some time more than I had planned, but I thought
it worth the time. We looked at a George Barne,

(23:14):
doctor George Barna, with a Bible university in Arizona, Arizona
Christian University, something like that. And George Barna has been
a research expert for years and he focuses his attention

(23:38):
on surveying Christian culture. And we talked about the biblical
worldview and how only four percent of the nation has
a biblical worldview. And I merely pointed out that if
you use the number forty percent of those that live

(24:00):
in this country go to church on a weekly or
bi weekly basis, that means that ten percent of Christians
that attend church have a biblical worldview, and that to
me is just stunning, though the evidence is everywhere. Tim

(24:27):
rode in. He said, I may have missed it, but
I did not hear the definition of world biblical view.
Where can I find it? George Barna defines it this way?
I send him a note in reply. The author of
the study defines it as a perspective on reality shaped
by Biblical principles leading to actions aligned with God's will.

(24:49):
It involves understanding the world through a lens that prioritizes
God's truth, commands, and perspective in every aspect of life.
If find it this way to me, it's explained in
the term biblical worldview a view of what happens in

(25:10):
the world and how Christian, how a Christian lives in
it through the filter or lens of Scripture. Get this, though,
here's an AI definition artificial intelligence. A biblical should I
read it like that. A biblical worldview is a aspective

(25:33):
on life and the world based on the teachings of
the Bible. It provides a framework for understanding God, humanity, morality,
and purpose, shaping how one interprets and interacts with reality.
This worldview emphasizes the Bible as the ultimate source of

(25:56):
truth and guides individuals in their beliefs, values and actions.
That was either a pretty gnarly impersonation of AI or
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. But now, honestly, that's a pretty
snappy definition that works. That works, That is an accurate

(26:20):
definition of a biblical worldview. So I just thought it
would be worth touching on. For those of you that
missed the discussion yesterday, go back to yesterday's podcast. But
I think it's an important discussion. Why do so many
people going to church not apply the Bible to their
view of the world and their life and everything that
goes on. It is a damning indictment on the church today.

(26:44):
Don't you think if forty percent of this nation claims
to be attending church regularly, and out of that we
only have four percent of the country with a biblical worldview,
that indicates a remarkable disconnect from what being a Christian
really is, what it means. I'll let you decide where

(27:06):
you fall in all of that. Forty seven minutes past
the hour, it's the Morning Show, The Preston Show with
Morning Scott. What wiw christiandom is certainly under assault? I

(27:47):
would submit that christiandom is struggling from self inflicted wounds
more than anything else. Right now in Iran, the Gospel
is exploding underground churches are starting to really take hold

(28:12):
in Iran. The message of the Gospel is so universally,
singularly different from any other religion or faith. It's captivating.

(28:32):
And so when you look at what's happening in our culture,
it's impossible to not come to the conclusion that we
have allowed the freedoms of this country to be taken
for granted our faith along with it. And when you

(28:53):
look at ten percent of the Body of Christ believing
the Bible applies to their view of the world and
how they should act, that's just that's that's going to
stay with me for a long time. Obviously, I hold
up a mirror and I look at my own life

(29:14):
and I say, Okay, where am I falling short? Because
I certainly I want to avoid being a stumbling block
for anybody, though I accept that with my profession, just
having that and offering an opinion on things offends people.

(29:37):
I get it, and I get the email from people
that hate the fact that I talk about God, God's
word and all that I think for some it's conviction.
For others it's now they just they hate God for
a variety of reasons. But you still can't walk away

(30:01):
from what these numbers say. Right, guy executed walking into
a Seattle church service. It was not church related. More
than likely, twenty eight year old man was targeted. It
would appear shot in front of his wife and children.
At least thirty bullet casings were found at the scene,

(30:22):
so they wanted him dead. Pulled up, he's walking up
the steps. Wife and kids ran as he was shot
multiple times, killed on the scene. Had recently given his
life to Christ. My thought is drug money, something gone bad, whatever.

(30:43):
But it was not a well you're a Christian, we're
going to take you out type church shooting. So there's that.
We come back making ends meet in a very unique
way where that applies. Might surprise you. Leisurely pace to

(31:14):
today's program, second hour, one hour in the books, remember
the podcast. I still am amazed the number of people.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Well, you know, I don't get up as early as
I did before.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
My new job doesn't have me getting up so early,
So I missed some of your early show. I just
look at them and what what there's a podcast I art.

(31:54):
I know, I just I'm not into that tech thing. Gee,
if you have a smartphone, you're into tech, I'm sorry,
you just are. You don't have a choice. You have,
you have a computer, you're into tech. Just get sorry. Anyway,

(32:16):
you can listen to anything you miss on the iHeartRadio app.
Just look up the radio program and save it. You
can program your your your iHeart app with channels, just
like the old push button thing in your car radio.
You assigned like number one to the Morning Show with
Preston Scott, number two, the Conversations podcast, number three, the

(32:38):
radio station you're listening to, and then you can go
from there. I have my program, I have the radio station.
I have other stations that I listen to. I have
podcasts that I listened to programmed on my presets. So
I said, boo, whatever I want to listen to right there,
simple piece of cake. If I can figure it out,

(32:59):
you can into I said, making ends meet in a
very unusual place. Colleges and universities, you know what they're doing.
First of all, this story is interesting to me because
it blames declining enrollment on the decreasing college age population.

(33:25):
There's some truth to that. We've talked about the fact
that we're not keeping up. Not enough babies are being
born in this country that are American babies. So what's
happening is we're losing our national identity by replacement because
we don't have enough people getting married and having babies.

(33:49):
America is declining in part because of that, and it's
showing up just in the last decade and a half
in college enrollment. We don't have enough kids going to college.
But but I would submit that the bigger driver. Yes,
population plays a role, but the bigger driver is colleges

(34:11):
and universities as a rule suck. They're in doctrination centers
and even private sorry, public ad defenders are conceding the
point they are they're not even defending the cause anymore
because they know higher education has been significantly lost to

(34:38):
the left. And and it's and it's so interesting to
me how the things that are being controlled by the left,
for example, mainstream media, print journalism, news people people are
they're not interested, and so they're voting with their wallet.
They're not buying, they're not subscribing, they're not they're just

(35:00):
not And look what's happening in colleges and universities controlled
by the left, and what's happening not interested. More and
more young people are recognizing, why would I go into
that level of debt when I can go to a
vacational school, I can just be an entrepreneur, I can
start up my own business, I can get a certificate,

(35:24):
I can do any number of things without racking up
that level of debt and end up making a very
nice living and not having to deal with all of that.
And we're not even touching the issue of indoctrination. So
and some of that starts in K twelve public education,

(35:46):
the dissatisfaction with what's going on, the lack of learning,
the amount of remedial ad that's going on in state
colleges and community colleges across the country. Professors presidents of
schools will tell you spending an inordinate amount of resources
teaching kids what they should have learned in high school.

(36:06):
So here's what's happening. To make ends meet. Slowly, college
and the universities are reaching out to senior adults. They're
trying to get senior citizens into classes. Arizona State University
has even put a campus in a different part of
the Phoenix area that is like a senior retirement area

(36:30):
with apartments, restaurants, and oh, by the way, a campus,
a school in Boston has done the same thing. It's
just it's interesting how universities are figuring out we're going
to have to diversify. They're also going to have to
figure out that there's no way they can pay what
they're paying their faculty when there's declining enrollment. The math

(36:55):
just doesn't add up, you know, that just doesn't. And
so once again the illiberals on the left, who are
these professors that are tenured that protect their jobs. They
are they are literally squeezing the blood out of their
out of their own lifeline because they are, they are

(37:15):
ruining the education process with their with their indoctrination efforts,
their their views. They're instead of teaching their they're trying
to shape the thought process. They're not allowing it to
develop and challenging it. They're just there's no diversity of viewpoint,

(37:35):
very little. I should say, so eleven minutes past the hour,
seek and ye shall find out what. I can't tell

(37:59):
you how happy this bump music makes me. If I
were driving, i'd have my head tipped to the side,
popping it back and forth. How you doing a little

(38:22):
point to the left, to the right. What's up? Uh
huh yeah, I'm a happy guy, all right? Uh seeking
you shall find out was the name of the sting. Sting,

(38:42):
That's right, this is uh Marion County parents. We will
never arrest every single one of them. You have to
know what your child is doing online, and children have
to know what dangers are lurking online. As a sheriff,

(39:06):
as a father, I understand the anger and discussed the
parent has towards these types of individuals. I assure you
that we will continue to attack this plague head on.
It was a sting operation. Undercover officers interacted with people
who believe they were communicating with children between the age
of thirteen and fifteen, and forty eight were arrested. In

(39:35):
Florida another sting operation, forty men were apprehended on charges
that included traveling to meet a minor for illegal sexual
conduct and human trafficking. Okalla Police, Lake City Police, Florida

(39:57):
Department of Law Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, others. I
want you to get your mind around this. At least
six are on ice detainers, having traveled from locations like Jamaica,
El Salvador, Dubai, and India with the intent to exploit children.

(40:18):
Dubai India traveled to Florida solely to meet with a
minor to have sex with the child. That's just that's incredible,

(40:46):
but it's not. Here's what I'm going to continue to
drive this point home. First, parents, don't give your child
a smartphone until they're able to provide one for themselves,
as in, they're in college and they're paying their own bills.

(41:08):
Don't there's no need. They still make flip phones, they
still make basic phones. Number two, if your child has one,
know every password, know every account, look at every phone

(41:30):
every day, Put programs on that phone that limit what
they can see and or do approvals for every app
that's downloaded. Explain this that there are people out there
using social media, video games to gain friendship, confidence and trust.

(42:00):
And then it's on. And then I want you to
understand these stings are going on constantly everywhere, and yet
these men are so addicted they can't stop. That's the

(42:21):
big point to remember. I hate to say that I
predicted this, but I did. I talked about how the
Internet was going to make look I remember when my
brother was my one of my older I've got I
got three older brothers. Two of them have passed away,

(42:42):
one still in law enforcement. But the first of my
brothers that was in law enforcement, I remember him talking
about the pornography that they would have to act on
that was intercepted in the mail and took a risk
because it was delivered in the mail, and so they

(43:04):
it was sort of easy. Postal service would kind of
figure it out and they and police are directed to
a spot and then you'd find all of these magazines
that are just anyway. The Internet removed that and made
it accessible, and the problem comes in that eventually that

(43:28):
just doesn't get it done looking at pictures and you
have to have a real person, and that's where it
gets to be life and death. That's when there are
victims that are human beings. The victims that were in
these magazines. I mean that's and on these you know,
websites and these places that these people go, those are victims.

(43:48):
Those are children that are victims. Young people that are
victims understand it's an addiction, it's a sickness, and they're
so driven despite the risk, they still push ahead. Just
parents know that nineteen minutes after the album really late.

(44:09):
I'm not sorry, I'm not tomorrow on the radio program
side I agree to tomorrow on the radio program j

(44:30):
D Johnson of the Tellent Training Group. So many stories
in the news that are tragic that we must talk
about and learn from, and personal defense has never been

(44:51):
as important as it is today. And so we'll have
JD and tomorrow talk about all the stories in the
news yesterday. I'm very My wife would say confrontational, and

(45:11):
I would say that too, but not in a way
that I'm necessarily trying to pick a fight with somebody
over an issue. In that I I want to get
answers to things, and so I asked questions. If somebody

(45:41):
I perceive is not doing their job that they're paid
to do, I nudge or in this case, I reached
out to the editors at town Hall and I said,
could you guys do something for me? Here's the story.
Illegal alien with multiple arrests kills mom and daughter in

(46:02):
New Jersey crash head on crash guid no right to
be in the country, nor having a car to drive, nothing,
and two people are dead. And I asked this question,
is anyone counting do we have account of how many
people since Joe Biden took office and changed policy? Understanding

(46:26):
some got into the country before Joe Biden took office,
some of it in the country for years, Some snuck
in when they were fighting Trump to get the waters
closed down, because they did for four years. But how
many in the last say, since Obama took office, how
many people have died in this country at the hands
of illegal immigrants that would otherwise be alive. More than likely.

(46:51):
We're not talking about drug gang related stuff as much
as just innocent people who are dead now, people not
involved in crimes, people just living their life that were
that came across the path of an illegal So I
don't have the answer. I just I just wrote down

(47:13):
on the column on the rundown, and I wrote down
in the in in the story. Here is anyone counting?
Just pointing it out? Twenty seven minutes after the hour
short segment. I know, big stories in the press box
coming back next. Anybody that's ever watched the original three

(47:44):
Star Wars movies, you remember the speeder bike scene in
wasn't it Return of No, It wasn't Return of the Jedi.
It was Empire Strikes back, wasn't it I think so,
maybe not. Yes, he walks, Yes, Yeah, that was the

(48:07):
second one. I'm pretty sure. The speeder bikes are really cool,
and just in the last couple months someone has cracked
the code. They've made a speeder bike and it's being

(48:35):
demonstrated and it's not it's capable of one hundred and
twenty four miles an hour. It's jet powered. Don't know
what the flight time is. My guess is five to
eight minutes, maybe a little longer. I don't know, but

(48:56):
I'm putting a blog up on it so you'll get
to see it for yourself. All right, last hour I
mentioned one of the two big stories in the press box.
The first big story is be aware flesh eating bacteria
eight dead, thirty two sick between Florida and Louisiana. If
you have an open wound, do not go into brackish
or salt water this time of year in particular because

(49:19):
you shouldn't do it period, but this time of year
in particular because the warmth of the water in the
Gulf creates this particular strain of bacteria that by the
time you think you've got a problem, you could be
close to dead. Just saying, so cover the wound with

(49:42):
a waterproof bandage, and then I would certainly wrap it
as well. If you're going to be in the water.
I wouldn't risk it myself. But that's just me. The
other story The New York Post. The New York Post
is the alternative to the New York Times and and
you know the New York Post media group. I think

(50:04):
the Post is the oldest newspaper out there, but it's
it's more of a traditional newspaper with a little tabloid
feel to it. I mean, it's headlines are are brilliant.

(50:25):
They are, it's just it's over the top type print
publication formatting. But they don't They're not owned by the left.
They're just not. They're almost the arch enemy of the left.
You might recall, The New York Post is the story
on the Hunter Biden laptop. They had it, they had

(50:50):
the story. And anyway, they are opening in California. Here's
the part. I want to focus on multiple platforms and formats,
including mobile, desktop, video, audio, social media, and a daily
print edition. What will happen if a brand new startup

(51:19):
paper with the August reputation of The Post, the New
York post, not the wappo wapo is what if this
thing actually works and it shows on a large level
what Tallahassee Reports has shown on a small scale, that

(51:42):
you can do print and you can serve the public,
and you can do reputable, credible content and it will
be purchased and consumed by the public. Won't that be
an interesting shot across the bow of the mainstream media?
The fact that they've been operating in the shadow of

(52:04):
the New York Times. And you might say, well, they're
gonna be headquartered in Los Angeles, aren't they in the
shadow of the La Times. I'm not so sure they're
gonna pop in there and say take a look and
there and they're the way that they do their paper. Again,
it does look a bit like the National Inquirer and
some of those tabloids, but the news reporting is solid.

(52:31):
It will be so interesting to watch, that's all. I
think it's worth watching because it could be a little
bit of a lifeline for the mainstream media. Maybe there
will be enough publishers who aren't hooked into gannet, that
are independent that'll say, hey, we can do this. Let's

(52:52):
get back to good, fact based, objective reporting and leave
the op ed to the op ed page, saying, now,
clever headlines is certainly what the post is based on,
but it's it'll be a fun thing to watch. Speaking
of the mainstream media, got a great quote here from

(53:13):
Terry Moran, stay with me forty one minutes past the hour.
He used to be with ABC. You might remember he
fell out of favor. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(53:49):
You might remember Terry Moran was a regular on ABC News.
He was fired because he came on glued with a
post about Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
So he got fired from ABC, got let go, and

(54:10):
he's now writing on substack. He's doing his own thing.
He has zero regrets about losing his job. He has
zero regrets for his thoughts about Trump. He has zero
regrets for what he said about Stephen Miller. But what
he did say that is worth listening to or hearing repeated,

(54:34):
is this were we biased? Yes, almost inadvertently. I'd say
ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural
institutions do in America, lack of viewpoint diversity. By the way,
can we add to the list of institutions mainstream media

(54:56):
and colleges and universities. When I joined ABC News in
nineteen ninety seven, it was basically run by white men.
I have nothing against white men. I am one. That
management structure lasted for a long time, way too long.
But over the last decade or so, the company made
an effort to hire and promote journalists from a much
wider diversity of backgrounds and life experiences. That changed ABC

(55:20):
News for the better. Changed our conversations, changed our perceptions
of stories and events in the country and around the world,
changed our coverage. For me, the job got a lot
more interesting, a lot more fun. But there was one
way ABC did not change. It did not diversify. It's
no secret there are hardly any people who supported Donald
Trump at ABC News or the other corporate legacy mainstream

(55:44):
news media outlets, and this is bound to impact coverage.
Not so much out of a benevolent bias, that's the
cartoon version pedaled by Trump, Brendan Carr and online maga,
but more out of what is a kind of deafness.
The old news divisions don't hear many voices of the
country because those voices aren't in the newsroom. Yes, news

(56:05):
teams go out with a microphone and a camera, and
it cost people at Trump rallies. But to me, that
often comes off as weirdly anthropological and inaccurate, kind of
like trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo. You
don't really see a tiger at the zoo, You just
see a version of a tiger. Now this might sound
strange coming from me. The manner of my accelerated departure

(56:26):
from ABC News has earned me a reputation in many
quarters as being a raging anti Trump firebrand, So be it.
I don't take back a regret a syllable of the
post I wrote about Stephen Miller and Donald Trump that
got me fired by ABC. I think it was an accurate, fair,
true description of those men. But inside the newsroom I
had a reputation of trying to get colleagues to see
the other side, to walk a mile in the shoes

(56:47):
of Maga, to acknowledge the democratic forces that made Donald
Trump the dominant political figure of my time. So yes,
from my perspective, the old news networks are biased. Now.
First of all, he's absolutely one hundred percent right. Again,

(57:08):
we have another inside diagnosis of what we all know.
But will they listen no, they will not listen. They're
too invested. Smart businessmen that would own these publications would say,
you're going to listen, and you're going to change, and
they would change the editorial flavor of the staffing, the publisher,

(57:31):
the editor of the various departments. They would make those changes,
and they would demand changes be made downstream. But that's
what you do if you want to be smart. That said,
where he's totally misguided is that he thinks that is

(57:52):
firing was inappropriate. Of course it was. You're supposed to be.
And I don't care what you did behind the scenes.
What you said publicly discredited you as an objective reporter.
You canceled your own ability to be objective. No one
will believe you. Sorry. Forty seven minutes past the Hour,
Manly Minute and more next on the Morning Show with

(58:13):
Crustin Scott. All Right, so the speeder bike was in
the third Star Wars movie. I'm being told which would

(58:34):
be Return of the Jedi. Okay, yeah, that works for me.
I don't know why I thought the second one is
my favorite because it's the snow. I just thought that
the second one, the Empire strikes back when they bring
those giant walkers ball and they're in the snow and

(58:57):
oh man, that's just that's incredible. But anyway, Star Wars
good stuff. Hey, I guess what time it is? Time
for a manly minute. These are skills to teach your son.

(59:18):
This is gonna be crazy. I can't believe I'm gonna
say it. Teach your son to tie his shoes. Now,
hear me out. I get that. We are going to
shoes now that you slip in that don't have laces

(59:42):
that they just have these little they have faux laces
that are just kind of expandable things that allow your
foot to slip in and then they go and they
fit really tightly on your feet, which is not always
a comfortable thing. But we also have Velcrow now right,
admit it, parents, we go to Velcrow. We go to

(01:00:02):
Velcrow to make it easy. It doesn't matter. Make sure
your son knows how to tie shoes. It's not unlike
teaching your son that writing cursive is good. Cursive writing
is important to know the art of the letter, just

(01:00:27):
like the art of tying your shoes. We're heading to
school now. This is and don't get frustrated with him,
but make sure your son knows how to tie his shoes.
It's it's to write a passage from being a toddler

(01:00:50):
to a child being able to tie your own shoes.
It's a thing, all right. So there's your mainly minute
this morning as we get ready for school less than
a week away in our part of the world, but
school is certainly coming up across the country. Speaking of
it's Iheartradios Thank a Teacher campaign. Nominated teacher you know
that you think is great, a terrific teacher, and that

(01:01:14):
teacher could win one of multiple five thousand dollars grants
that we're giving away with our friends from donors. Choose
that five thousand dollars grant would be used to purchase
supplies for their classroom. What a blessing that would be.
So go to iHeart Radio dot com slash teachers boom.

(01:01:38):
That's it. It's just as easy as can be and
nominate a teacher you know that you know is a
great teacher. All right. When we come back, Consvon Spakovsky
will join us. He is with the Heritage Foundation, and
we're going to look at the Supreme Court. We're going
to take some time talk about the latest set of rulings,

(01:01:59):
what's surprised him, what disappointed him, what he thought was great,
and then some cases that are coming up, and also
something called the shadow docket. Time for the third hour

(01:02:24):
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott creeping along Here
was Show five thousand, four hundred and twenty four. He's Jose,
I'm Preston, and joining me is the manager the Election
Law Reform Initiative and senior legal fellow at the Edwin Meses,
the Third Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. He's our friend,

(01:02:45):
Hans von Spakowski. Hans, how are you, sir, Preston.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
I'm doing just great and join my summer so far,
it's been a hot time in Washington all summer, boy,
no kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
I'm curious when the Supreme Court finished and basically got
everything done for the month of June, got its rulings
out there, and you step back from it a little
bit and you look at you know, because rulings came
out long before June when they normally roll out. What
do you think were the most consequential rulings of the

(01:03:18):
first half of the year by the United States Supreme Court.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
I think it was a very good session for Americans
who believe in the rule of law of the Constitution,
I mean just talking, and frankly, if folks who want
to protect their children, I mean, look. Two of the
most important decisions that came out were the Screamatic case,
which was out of Tennessee, in which the Supreme Court

(01:03:47):
said that a law the Tennessee passed along with I
think almost two dozen other states, saying you cannot surgically
mutilate and do an abusive drug treatments to children to
supposedly changed their gender, that that was perfectly acceptable and

(01:04:08):
within the power of state government. That that that that's
the decision, protecting kids all over the country. And then
in the other one similar one was a decision out
of Maryland in which are probably the most liberal school
board in a country had integrated basically transsexual and and

(01:04:31):
gay propaganda into the entire curriculum and told the parents, uh,
you can't opt your kids out of this. We're not
going to allow that. And the Supreme Court said, you
cannot do that. You cannot basically infuse sexual propaganda into kids.
And we're not talking about high school kids. They were

(01:04:53):
doing this all the way down to pre kindergartens. But
I think those I think those two in terms of
protecting Americans in the family were probably the two most
important decisions they made.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
One of the things that we've paid attention to on
this show is obviously district court rulings that created nationwide injunctions,
which which on the surface just seemed absurd to even
people that are not invested in the law as a
profession or even as a hobby, for Pete's sake, but

(01:05:26):
the Supreme Court ruled on it. Yet we still see
judges saying, ah, that doesn't apply to me. So what
first tell us the status of things like that? When
we still see district courts creating nationwide injunctions? What what
is a court? What's the Supreme Court to do? What
are we to do? Well?

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
The mistake that they made, and it was a huge mistake,
and it was pointed out by Justice Alito. You know,
the Supreme Court came out six to three and said
universal or nationwide and functions are outside the authority of
federal courts. There's one exception of that, and Justine Alito said, well,

(01:06:09):
we've ruled correctly, but we have failed to deal with
that exception. The exception is if a judge determines that
a particular group of plaintiffs are a class, that they
represent an entire class of people across the United States. Now,
there are very strict rules that a judge is supposed

(01:06:34):
to follow before he does that. But because the Supreme
Court didn't talk about that, didn't emphasize that, what happened
was that all these same judges now have been saying, oh, okay, well,
all I have to do is certify these plaintiffs as
a class, and boom, I can issue a nationwide injunction.

(01:06:58):
And they've been doing it willing without actually following the rules.
That's not gonna stop until the Supreme Court takes up
this matter again.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Joining me on the program, Hans von Spakovski with a
Heritage Foundation. We will return with Hans talk more next.
He's smarter than we are.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
That's that's my best way.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Of introducing for our second segment here, Hans von Spakowski
with a Heritage Foundation. Aren't we treading on dangerous territory
when courts seem to be just ignoring what the High
Court says and that's what it appears?

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Oh oh absolutely, yes? Uh what what we're what we're
saying as a judicial rebellion and judicial tyranny. The best
example of that is the judge in Massachusetts who recently
after the Big Beautiful Bill was passed by Congress signed

(01:08:11):
in the law by the President, and you have a
federal judge in Massachusetts saying, oh, no, you can't. You
can't reduce or cut off money to Planned Parenthood. You
can't do that, mister President. You have to keep funding them. Congress, No,
you have to keep providing them with money. How in

(01:08:32):
the world is a federal dis court judge saying that
she's got the power to override the constitutional authority of
Congress to decide how to spend taxpayer money. Now, fortunately,
the Supreme Court recently stepped in and issued an emergency

(01:08:53):
stay or suspension of her order. But the fact that
you have a judge like that in the federal court
system is illustrative of the problem we have unfortunately throughout
the judiciary branch and President. You know the reason for this.
The reason for this is that Joe Biden. This is
a Biden judge Joe Biden appointed to the federal judiciary,

(01:09:19):
and Chuck Schumer got confirmed. The most left wing radical
ideologues that have ever sat on the federal bench in
the entire history of the United States.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
So what's the country to do about it?

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Well, the only thing that can be done is to
make sure that Donald Trump gets his judges confirmed, and
in particular gets them confirmed into open Court of Appeals
slots so they can frankly overrule these nutty judges. And

(01:09:57):
we have got to maintain the majority on the Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
And listen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
Another great example of this is just within the last
day or two, but the US Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit, that's a great court. They covered Texas
just throughout a absolutely nutty decision again by a federal
district court judge who had said that the law that

(01:10:22):
Texas passed, which said, hey, if you're going to vote
by absentee ballot, you've got to provide a copy of
either your ID or your driver's license number or the
last wordage. So he said, oh, you can't do that,
that's discriminatory. Well, fortunately the Fifth Circuit just threw that
out and said, of course, it's not discriminatory, and it's

(01:10:44):
it's it's a way for the stake to make sure
that the person getting the idea is actually the registered voter.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Hansw Atzpiakowski with us from the Heritage Foundation. We're talking
about the US Supreme Court, in the federal court system
in general. Hans, is there any provision that, and I'm
going to put this in really simplistic terms, when a
district judge is overruled multiple times, that their judicial qualifications
then come into question and they can be removed from office,

(01:11:13):
from the from the court.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
Unfortunately not The only way a federal judge can be
removed is if he is impeached. And in the entire
history of the US about a dozen federal judges have
been impeached, but almost always at spinned for things like
bribery and really serious crimes. Just being a bad judge

(01:11:41):
who issues bad decisions, unfortunately, is not sufficient to get
you impeached.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
Hans von Spakowski with US. We got another segment to go,
and we come back the cases in the upcoming fall
winner term that are of interest to him, as well
as what is the shadow docket and should it be
a concern to us that. Next on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott, he is a Turn two guest. We

(01:12:19):
turned to Hans von Spakowsky to try to better understand
what's going on with a lot of different issues, but
notably in this visit the Supreme Court of the United
States and Hans What are a couple of cases two
or three that stand out that you think are very
consequential in the upcoming fall winter term. Are they dealing
with men in women's spaces? Are they dealing with elections?

(01:12:40):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Yeah, I think probably the most important cases that the
Spring Court accepted were cases out of Idaho and out
of West Virginia. Those stays just like a lot of
states pass laws that if you're a biological mail, no

(01:13:03):
matter what kind of drugs you're taking, you cannot participate
in women's sports. And unfortunately you had federal courts, the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for Circuit Court of Appeals,
which is two of the worst courts of the field
in the country, say that those laws violate equal protection.

(01:13:24):
So hopefully the Supreme Court is going to come out
and uphold states not allowing biological men and women for
participating women's sports. Very very important case. There's also a
big case coming up on redistricting, as you know, as
a big history right now in Texas, and they have

(01:13:46):
a case out of Louisiana, in which white voters actually
sued and said, when the state legislature drew up a
second black district, a district which black voters our majority,

(01:14:08):
they impermissibly and unconstitutionally used race as their primary factor
in doing that. That is racial discrimination and it's unconstitutional.
And that's a really important case because, as you know,
that's a big issue going on right right now in Texas,

(01:14:29):
so that that could have all kinds of effects. And
then and then finally there's a campaign finance case really
involving the First Amendment, in which the political parties are
saying the federal law that limits the amount of money
we can spend to support our candidates and coordination with

(01:14:52):
them violates our First Amendment rights. Again, I think that's
a very important case when it comes to political association
rights in the First Amendment.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Let me tie on to that. What about the case
involving ballot counting after an election?

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
Ah, Well, the problem there is is that they didn't
take that case on the substantive issue simply on standing.
What we're talking about is in Illinois, a member of
Congress sued saying, hey, the fact that Illinois has a
state law that allows absentivals to come in after election

(01:15:28):
day and be counted violates the federal law that sets
the day for federal elections, as you know, the first
Tuesday after the first Monday November. If the courts there said, oh,
you don't have standing to sue, you can't even bring
a claim, and you know my reaction to that is

(01:15:49):
if a candidate can't bring a claim, well, who the
heck can? So what the Supreme Court accepted was just
the standing issue. I think what they're going to do
simply say, well, of course the candidate has standing. Then
they'll send it back down to the federal courts. Well,
they will then look at the substantive issue. Do those

(01:16:10):
kind of laws, the ones that allow ballots to come
in after election ate, do they violate federal law? The
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals miss has already said that
that is a violation of the law. Are they through
out a Mississippi law that allowed that?

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Boy, it's going to be interesting because I remember going
back to I think it was Texas that the court
said did not have standing to challenge the results of
twenty twenty, wasn't it. Yeah, that's right, and in fact,
I think the argument is, well, sure it does because
it's one of the states in the Union. It has
standing for no other reason. Tell me about what is

(01:16:51):
a shadow what is a shadow docket? What is that
and why is it good or bad?

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
Well, the shadows is simply when an emergency appeal is
filed with Supreme Court to usually and this is what's
been happening over the past couple months to stop a
lower court decision, and they're not talking about the substantive issue.

(01:17:20):
Like the case that I was talking about with the
Massachusetts judge saying, oh, you know, you can't cut off
funding for planned parenthood. She issued an injunction saying you've
got to continue payment to plan Parenthood while we have
the trial and while this case is going forward. The
emergency docket, the shadow docket was the Supreme Court stepping

(01:17:44):
in and saying no, no injunction while this court case
is pending. So it will go through the lower court,
it'll go through the Court of Appeals, it'll finally get
to the Supreme Court. Well, they'll decide substantively, you know
weather planned parenthood funding has to continue. But while that's
going on, there will be no injunction in place, and

(01:18:08):
I think there's not a problem with the Supreme Court
stepping in through this shadow dock and stopping these lower
courts from doing things they're not authorized to do while
a case is pending before them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Nice. Thank you for that explanation. It helps a lot.
Hans is always thank you for carbon time for us
and we appreciate.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
It sure thing anytime.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Thank you, Hans von Spakowski with us from the Heritage Foundation.
And now we know more about what has been, what
is happening, and what will be coming in the fall
winner term. We're going to go over nine specific cases
in the coming days that are in the fall winter term,
just a quick overview of what's coming. We just touched

(01:18:51):
on two or three of them there, but there's more
and we'll get to all of them in the coming
days here in the Morning Show with Preston Scotty Ink
Show with Preston Scott My News.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Radio one point seven Double U s l A.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
All right, now, don't don't take offense when I say
the word vibrio vulna ficus sounds like a pizza with
a plant from the from the garden room, right. It

(01:19:48):
is the name of the flesh eating bacteria, and you
hear about it every year. First of all, just flesh
eating bacteria. Can we all just collectively go ooh? But
this is serious stuff? Now, I understand when you talk

(01:20:14):
about the numbers of people on the beaches of Louisiana
and Florida combined. It's huge, right, thirty two six eight
dead in two states. But those numbers are up a
little bit, and it offers us an opportunity not to
spread fear. You do you, I'll do me. I don't

(01:20:36):
you know. If I've got a cut on my hand, arm, leg,
if I'm going in the in the water this time
of year, I'm it's waterproof. It's got liquid bandage on it,
which is kind of like a super glue kind of thing.

(01:20:57):
It's got a waterproof bandage on top of that, and
it's a wrap on top of that. You look stupid, heah,
But I ain't gonna get a flesh eating bacteria now,
am I see? That's the problem. Seventy and now it
does happen outside of that, But so far three quarters
of these cases have involved an open wound and being

(01:21:23):
in ocean water brackish water this time of year from
May to September October. The waters are warm and these
bacteria are are there. It's just you're swimming where see

(01:21:44):
animals pooh. I mean, I don't know how else to
put it. And for that matter, I mean you've seen
the little kid that right, you know, they're the same
little kid that in the community swimming is making a
little yellow spot. You know what I'm talking about. You're
out there swimming with those kids. Anyway, The bottom line

(01:22:09):
is that in Florida thirteen confirmed cases for deaths, and
so half the deaths here, half the deaths in Louisiana.
Authorities advising people avoid brackish or salt water, cover any
wounds with waterproof bandage. And you know, different kinds of vibriosis,

(01:22:34):
and that's the strain, if you will, the overall generic vibriosis.
There are eighty thousand cases of it a year in
the country. But according to the CDC, this particular type
of strain can can lead you straight to intensive care

(01:23:01):
and limb amputation adults around sorry, one in five people
who suffer from that particular infection die and it can
occur within a day or two of becoming ill, so
you have virtually no warning. So the old ounce of

(01:23:23):
prevention is worth a pound of cure prevent. Just be smart.
There you go, big story in the press box this
morning here forty minutes past the hour on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show at Preston Scott
on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Well, this

(01:23:58):
is interesting now, Breitbart. I wrote my buddy, our friend,
Jerome Hudson. I said, dude, you have got to get
your bosses to put a print function on your articles

(01:24:18):
or the print friendly extension, because printing your stuff is
so remarkably annoying. I don't use Breitbart very much. You
may be one of the most visited sites, but I
don't reference your work very often unless you're on the show,

(01:24:40):
because I can't stand printing your stuff. Can't stand it.
It's annoying. I endured for this story and for you
because I love you. Exclusive those words matter. This is

(01:25:04):
from Breitbart dot com. Democrats plan to spend tens of
millions of dollars to fund hundreds of content creators. It
makes sense. They see things slipping with the younger generation,

(01:25:24):
they see things slipping with minorities. One of the ways
you do you try to reverse that trend is you
pay content creators that have an influential following to carry
your messaging. Now, what does that say about the content creator?

(01:25:48):
That's up to you to figure out, right, I know
what it says. I think you do too. But they're
being paid to say these things and they're happy to
do it, so you can probably assume they're card carrying
members of the left. They're looking to spend one hundred
and ten plus million dollars to raise funds and this

(01:26:17):
comes from slides that were leaked out of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee donor event. So someone inside the building
snapped photos of the slides they were putting up of
their plans and leaked them to Breitbart. So just can
we please just have a moment to appreciate spies in

(01:26:41):
the room. That's just brilliant. But they are they are
looking for accountability work twenty million, fifteen million for voter registration,
five million for recruitment and primary engagement, million for research,

(01:27:01):
and a rapid response infrastructure. They're going to try to
get six hundred and sixty seven content creators with the
aim of reaching eighty three million Americans, drawing six point
six million engagements that's their goal. By the way, isn't
it interesting six hundred and sixty seven not six hundred

(01:27:28):
and sixty six? Why not just reduce one and use
the number of satan It does seem a bit intentional,
doesn't it to you use six hundred and sixty seven influencers?

(01:27:48):
And so they are. They're doing a social media boot
camp runs for four weeks for content creators. So there's this,
there's some of the strategy. The boot camp customize social

(01:28:09):
media evaluation, platform specific optimization strategies, real time insights on
trending content, and engagement strategies, and daily rapid response content.
So they're trying to find people to give money to
this fund to do this. It'll be interesting because here's

(01:28:34):
what they've got to do. They've got to find out
a way to separate out the lunatics that are running
the party. And I don't know how you do it. It's
you know, we've we've shared the numbers. The brand is
dying because they don't know, they don't they don't know

(01:28:55):
what their brand is anymore. Because the noise that's capturing
the room is the noise of the extreme illiberal left
and a lot of Democrats don't want any part of that.
So forty seven minutes past the one little counter intel
there for you. There's nothing like minor league baseball. We

(01:29:31):
take you to the Portland Pickles and fan appreciation night
where they decided to pick a fan to play in
the game. And so we turn now to the radio
play by play of the fan that went by the
name of Dixie and his night on the field. I'll

(01:29:54):
help a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
This is our a lucky fan that gets to take it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
Out that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
Dixie. Dixie knows how to get a crowd going. He's
taking a pitch. Bring you on the way to Dixie.
Up ball four and that is quite the backflip, won't
you tries to walk a little fumble ball at the plate.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
Would you lie?

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
He slid in the second.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
Safely, He's steals second, small and light in the left
run up. Dixie came in to score. So Dixie scores
a run. Now he's out in the field. Out to Dixie.
Are you kitty catches the fly ball? Hang on pitch

(01:30:42):
with a runner on? What you Kitty leaders go home run?
You've gotta be Kitty hits a home run to run blast.

(01:31:05):
What a night turns out. He's a D three baseball
player from a small school up the street. Brought to
you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the morning show
on WFLA. But what a cool experience. He got the
ice bath after the home run. Of course the other

(01:31:26):
team had to be just fuming. This guy just showed
him up all game long. He's not even a pro.
Those are all want to be major leaguers. It's awesome.
Big stories in the press box today, aside from our
interview with Hans van Spokowsky, flesh eating bacteria eight have
died thirty two six in two states. Just making you aware.

(01:31:53):
Don't go out in the ocean water or brackish water
with an open wound. And even if you don't have
an open wound, be advised. Just saying it's out there
and it's lurking. New York Post expanding west. The California

(01:32:14):
Post is coming in twenty twenty six, and I cannot wait.
It's got a picture of George Washington with shade sitting
in a lounger. Los Angeles. Here we come. America's oldest
newspaper launches in City of Angels and it's got him
with his arms behind his head. Just take it in

(01:32:35):
the rais. Oh, you gotta love it, Gotta love it.
Learned from an ABC News reporter that got fired Terry Moran,
just how bias ABC is and in fact, in his opinion,
all the networks does just change his view of Trump
or Steven Miller. He's just pointing out, Yeah, there's no
diversity of thought. Unbelievably biased. Duh. Covered a lot of

(01:33:01):
other stories, a lot of other ground Good show today,
Good solid Show tomorrow. JD. Johnson joins us. Personal defense.
Lots to talk about and it might save your life.
