Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome morning, everybody, and welcome to the Thursday edition. It's
already Thursday, August the fourteenth, on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
He's ose.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
In a patchwork quilt type top that conveys the message
of the United States flag.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I am.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm here dressed rather dripily, but that's that's okay, that's
just kind of what I do. We welcome you though
to the program show fifty four to thirty one. We'll
get to August fourteenth, this date in history, in just
a few minutes, but we start with some scripture. We're
in Acts chapter twenty Paul and Macedonian and Greece speaking

(01:03):
to Ephesian elders, and he's sharing some words, telling them
that I'm not going to see you again. This is
it and it was a very heartfelt gathering. And Paul

(01:32):
shares this in all things, I have shown you that
by working hard in this way, we must help the weak.
And remember the words of the Lord Jesus. How he
himself said, it is more blessed to give than to receive.

(01:59):
And when he he said these things, it says in
verse thirty six, he knelt down and prayed with them
all and there was much weeping on the part of all.
They embraced Paul and kissed him, being sorrowful most of
all because of the word he had spoken that they
would not see his face again, and they accompanied him
to the ship. But think about his final words to them,

(02:28):
he quotes Jesus. Now, all I can tell you is, however,
you get to that place.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Where you learn.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
The lesson of giving, and you begin to receive the
joy that comes from giving. And sometimes giving is giving
of oneself and one's time. Sometimes it's in just offering

(03:08):
prayer to somebody earnestly, not the oh, I'll be praying
for you, and then you forget all about it. Like
you know, if you say to somebody, I'll be praying
for you, pull out your phone and write a note

(03:34):
and pray for them. It's important in that, really impressing
the idea of giving, giving of your time, giving of
your resources, giving of yourself through hard work. But it

(04:00):
but channeling what Jesus said by just dropping that quote.
Jesus said it himself. Folks, it is more blessed to
give than receive. When that light bulb goes off and
you then begin to connect the deep inner joy that

(04:24):
comes from giving. I think that receiving is temporary. It's
not a bad thing, you know. There have been times
in my life that I had to learn to receive.

(04:45):
But receiving tends not always, tends to be somewhat temporal.
The residual of giving lingers it lasts. I mean, for
God so loved the world, he cave right ten past

(05:07):
the hour Thursday, busy show, but not as busy with
guests as normal. We've got a lot of stories today
as well, so this will be a good one to
be together here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott

(05:29):
Doublufla just about twelve minutes past the hour. August fourteenth,
seventeen fifty five, during the French and Indian War, George
Washington is appointed Commander in Chief of Virginia Forces protecting

(05:51):
the frontier in seventeen sixty five. Ten years later in Boston,
then the Sons of Liberty protests to stamp Act under
the Liberty Tree. Liberty trees were planted all throughout the colonies,

(06:12):
and one of the original Liberty Trees, a piece of
it sits in the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia,
and you can touch it. It's pretty cool. It is
really pretty cool to know that these trees planted during

(06:36):
the Revolution for a specific purpose sort of be a
century to the idea of American freedom.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
You can touch that tree. It's just pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Seventeen eighty four, on Kodiak Island, Russian fur traders found
the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska. You know, the
word is President Trump is going to be offering putin.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
This is a rumor.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Some access to US natural resources in Alaska to kind
of sweeten a peace deal with Ukraine. I don't know
about it. I can't I'm just saying that's something that's
floating around out there. I was reminded of it by
seeing this story from history. Eighteen forty eight, Congress creates

(07:30):
the Oregon Territory and Area, encompassing today's Oregon, Idaho, Washington,
and western Montana. I mean, I know there's a story
to all of it, like how did Oregon become Oregon?
Where'd the name come from? Idaho? All I know is

(07:53):
had we not had Idaho, where would we get Idaho potatoes.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm just kidding. I know the answer to that. I'm
just never.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Mind Japan surrenders on this date, unconditionally in nineteen forty five,
ending World War Two. And so there you have this
date in history. You know what I recently picked up.
I recently picked up a World War two m one
garrand that it's a springfield got rebarreled for the Korean War.

(08:30):
But it's it hasn't been reconditioned.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Want one with new a new stock, and no I
wanted I wanted original.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And it fires pretty pretty stoked about that. Let's see here.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Not much on national day of National Navajo code Talkers Day,
which is great. I just can't understand them. And and
today is National cream sickle Day. Okay, you're making a
face like, oh, yeah, I don't like him. I'm not

(09:13):
a creamsickle guy.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, orange is the best.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
I love orange, love orange, love orange juice, love oranges.
I but but a cream sickle just doesn't do it
for me.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Maybe maybe it's the well, I mean it's the cream, right,
I mean, it's just it. It's just it's taming the
flavor of orange down too much. I've never enjoyed a creamsickle.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm pretty sure my wife would enjoy a creamsickle. I'm
pretty sure she does, but but not me. I just
that's just not something I've ever acquired a taste for.
Though it makes no sense other than it's just not
a thing. I pretend it's like it's like anything else.

(10:08):
If someone had if it was a hot day and
there's a cream sickle and there was nothing else, Okay,
I'll have a cream sickle, but if I had a choice,
I'd be going somewhere else as long as it's not raspberry.
Sixteen past the hour, come back with a did you know?
And just an interesting thought to share? Twenty two minutes

(10:40):
past the hour?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Did you know?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Benjamin Franklin invented a ton of things? We know this,
but did you know that he also invented a glass
harmonica otherwise known as a harmonica. It was invented by
Franklin in seventeen sixty one. The glass harmonica is a

(11:06):
series of glass bowls arranged horizontally in graduated sizes from
larger to smaller, that produce music through friction. I know
you've seen people play crystal glasses with water at various levels.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
They can actually tune.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Those glasses with water to specific notes and by tapping
the glass, you get a different note, and you can
arrange them in such a way that you can.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Play a song.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
This, I believe is the art of moving your finger
around the rim of the of the glass. But I
could be mistaken, but I think that's how this particular instrument.
I mean, it's tough to call it an instrument, although
that's kind of what it is, given that you've got

(12:10):
multiple bowls. But still, nonetheless, Franklin, just the dude was
insatiably curious. Only he never stopped at curiosity. He went
straight to solving. You can almost imagine that at some

(12:33):
point there's a crystal goblet somewhere, or a crystal bowl
or a glass.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Bowl, and.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
He inadvertently grabbed it in such a way that his
hand moved around it or tapped it or something, and
he noticed a sound.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
And he was like, WHOA, what's that?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
And then he probably looked around the table and saw
a smaller one and did the same thing and it
produced a different sound.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like I got it. I got it.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Now let's make some different sizes here in between and
make this happen. You can see it, all right, I
told you an interesting idea. At least I think it is.
You know how often we talk about biblical archaeology. Did
you know that there's an organization that can hook you
up to do biblical archaeology in the Middle East. Now,

(13:27):
I don't know if that's something that you're interested in.
Obviously it's not for many, but maybe it's for some
of you. Maybe you've got the resources, because I'm quite
certain it costs some money. You got to fund your
own trip out there. But apparently it's the Bible Archaeology Society.
I just on a whim yesterday looked up Biblical archaeology.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Don't ask me why.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I just do things like this, and I came upon
this site that chronic all the news in biblical archaeology. Now, no,
that's not where I get my stories most of the time.
I have gotten some over the years, but most of
the stories that I get on biblical archaeology are just
stories that populate the news cycle. Standard news outlets amazingly

(14:17):
report stuff like this, but they do they link up
to all of the different universities organizations that are doing
sanctioned archaeological digs. It's not like you're going to go
to someplace and get arrested for digging. These are allowed, legal,

(14:38):
sanctioned digs Israel Jordan. You can say, hey, I'm interested
in the era of King David and King Solomon.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Boom, They've got digs dealing with just that.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
You're interested in the ministry of Jesus Boom, They've got
digs that focus on that. Maybe you are interested in
the Apostles. They've got digs going where the apostles went,
and where they stayed and where they you know, all
of that. Perhaps there's something else. The bottom line is,
if you're interested, look it up. They do offer scholarships

(15:14):
for some people of I think it's two thousand dollars,
which would probably pay for part of your your maybe
your air travel or something like that. But you know,
I would think for the right person, in the right setting,
that would be unbelievably rewarding to be sifting through literally

(15:37):
biblical history. I mean, there are things that I have
I have seen and looked at over over the years
that are biblical history, and I just marvel at it.

(16:00):
It documents a time and a place, and it verifies
scripture and I love it anyway. Biblical Archaeology Society bas
so check it out. Twenty seven Past the hour, we're
going to come back. We may save a life and
may be the life of a teenager. Next, This is

(16:22):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am not overstating
things when I say the big stories in the press
box today could save a life.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
This is not hyperbole. And one of these stories you're
going to go You've got to be kidding me, and
I'm not. Story number one, sixty year old man was
looking to eliminate table salt from his diet for health reasons,
so he resorted to chat GPT for suggestions. This study.

(17:03):
This suggestion rather recommended swapping sodium chloride table salt with
sodium bromide. Sodium bromide is used for cleaning and manufacturing

(17:24):
and agricultural purposes, and is in fact toxic to people
in most settings. Perhaps there was a miscommunication in what
he was asking and what chat GPT the AI service understood.

(17:47):
When he entered the hospital, he was experiencing fatigue, insomnia,
poor coordination, facial acne, cherry angiemas, red bumps on the skin,
excessive thirst, paranoia, auditory visual has hallucinations. He was being
poisoned to death, so don't resort to artificial intelligence for

(18:15):
medical conditions and taking its advice without consulting an actual doctor.
But the second story here is especially relevant because we're
in the school season and the brutal reality is and
I know that this is going to be a little
bit I don't know, Maybe distasteful is the word that

(18:41):
best could be used. But teenagers, pre teenagers, even adults
deal with acne at different times, blemishes on the skin.
I had no idea there was such a thing as
the triangle of death. Now listen to me. You're going
to think, oh, stop it, except I've checked on this,

(19:07):
and I'm gonna get emails saying, oh yeah, people have
nearly died, or have died, or have had incredible lasting
consequences to dealing with a blemish in the area between
the bridge of the nose down to the corners of

(19:29):
the mouth. That's called the triangle of death. Remember that
bridge of the nose, corners of the mouth. This story
came from a young girl ended up in urgent care
and on four prescriptions because within hours of dealing with
a blemish that was on her nose, she started to

(19:52):
deal with face paralysis. There are pictures of it her mouth.
I mean just and here's what happens when people go
after a blemish in that area. There is what is
called I mean, I wrote, I made a note here

(20:13):
on the side of it. The cavernous sinus blood vessel
that runs right there. It goes from that area straight
to the brain. And what happens is when you deal
with a blemish, you're causing the blemish to break open
and you're probably not sterilizing your hands. If you're using

(20:37):
your hands and the wound, the little point stays open
and then bacteria, even through the air can get into it,
and it goes straight to your brain. It goes straight
to the brain. We're talking blindness, stroke, paralysis, even death
has been documented from this from a simple blemish.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
And so.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
The word here is talk about this with your kids,
especially because this time of year. Let's face it, kids
are vain.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
We all are.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
We don't want a big blemish on our face, right
on our nose or whatever. And because of that, it
causes people to address it. There are ways to safely
address it. We'll get to that next hour, but I
want it on your radar. It's an actual thing. And

(21:43):
when I saw this story, the lead research assistant send
it to my attention. I was like, oh, you're kidding me.
And then I dug into it and was like, well.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
You know what I mean by dug in, I don't
mean literally was never mind.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
It was like, oh my gosh, yes, forty one minutes
after the hour, you're welcome talk about things that other
people don't talk about. Perfect music for this story, perfect,

(22:33):
I wrote on my notes, Yeah, I was wrong. Earlier
this week, I took a little exception to Donald Trump
calling in the National Guard and taking over the Metropolitan Police,
and I cited some crime numbers that were out there,
and then came to realize, you can't believe any of

(22:58):
the crime numbers DC are releasing because they've been investigated
for years, since twenty nineteen for fraudulent crime numbers. What
they've done is they have recategorized crimes that are violent
crimes as simple misdemeanor assaults and so forth that don't
get listed, and so they don't show up in the
crime numbers, and they don't show up in the FBI

(23:20):
crime numbers because they've been recategorized in DC. In fact,
there is one person in a command capacity at the
DC Police that is now being investigated for fudging crime numbers.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
But it appears as though it's just a.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Way of doing business in Washington, DC, because, in fact,
just the other day, DC had its one hundredth homicide
of the year. The shooting occurred just two blocks from

(23:58):
where two other recent killings took place. A congressional intern
and a former government official were killed recently. And these
are not in like little slum areas, drug deals gone bad.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Kind of things. No, these are these, this is this
is bad.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
The DC City Council, of course, is calling a manufactured
intrusion on local authority. No, it's dangerous. And I'll tell
you what really.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I got.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
First of all, I got plenty of email. It was like,
take a look at this, take a look at this,
take a look at this. It was like, wow, yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I was wrong.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I shouldn't have. I merely thought that somebody else should
have done it. But here's the reality. Trump has the authority.
I think he's the only one that has the authority
to do what he did. So I stand corrected. At
the same time, I'll tell you what really convinced me.
Besides the obvious the numbers, right evidence, you know, that's

(25:04):
silly thing. An ABC News anchor on the air talked
about how dangerous Washington, d C. Is and how she
is she has felt fear for her life walking from
the parking lot to the DC bureau of ABC News,

(25:25):
and so that was that, that little comment was on
the air in the wake of Trump saying that it's
dangerous and we're done with it. Oh yeah, I've got
a niece and her husband that live in the burbs
right there at Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
They yeah, and it's like, how do you But.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
They're they're kind of illiberals, so you know, look the
other way type thing. They just tolerate it. Anyway, just
wanted us to make a correction here. Police are looking
for the killer in this latest shooting of a thirty
three year old time Mark Wells. It's crazy. Shooting happened

(26:11):
at before seven in the evening. This isn't even an
overnight kind of what are you doing out at that no?
Huh huh, kind of a touristy part of town.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's just yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
But once again, where do you have these issues? Cities
run by democrats. Democrats don't understand crime and how to
deal with it, and they do not understand economies, budgets, spending, taxation.
They don't understand it because they just believe you can
tax and tax and tax, spend and spend and spend.

(26:47):
That's what they believe. Now Republicans aren't a ton better,
but there's some better. Forty seven minutes after Steve Stewart
coming up in just a little bit here on The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Another win for Trump, this time.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Appliance manufacturer General Electric GE. They announced a three billion
dollar investment to expand manufacturing in the United States over
the next five years. That's three with a b billion,
more than a thousand new jobs. They're going to begin
with existing plants in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Hey, Peaches, Tennessee,

(27:52):
and South Carolina. What's interesting is their shifting production out
of China and Mexico, and that ties really nicely to
the next story, which is Trump really getting angry at

(28:13):
Goldman Sachs for saying that the cost of the tariffs
is going to shift to consumers in the coming year. Now,
I'll be honest with you, if the tariffs stay elevated,
I don't know how that's avoidable. And this is where

(28:33):
Trump reacting the way that he does becomes problematic for
me personally. I think it's fair to say we're not
really feeling the effects, although I personally have had to
refuse a shipment of something because the tariff on an
item that I you know, I ordered an item for
somebody and as a gift, and I did not know

(28:57):
that I would be facing a one one hundred and
forty five I think percent tariff that was in at
the time of purchase, and so by the time it
got to me, cost of the item was like twenty
eight bucks and I needed I needed to pay forty
one additional dollars to receive it. I was like, uh, no,

(29:19):
send it back, and so it has to go back overseas,
and it didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I thought I was ordering it.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I didn't know it was coming from China, but it
was made in China and shipped to the United States
through a distributor, and it's a it's a major brand,
and I had just.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Didn't even didn't even think about it.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
But to me, there's no way, for example, that would
be a tariff cost directly to me. If I want it,
I pay the tariff, the manufacturer, the distributor wasn't going.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
To pay it.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Now, Goldman Sachs is saying, look, right now, consumers have
been hit with about twenty two percent of the cost
of tariffs. Most of it's being absorbed by US businesses,
but that will switch. And so I guess my point

(30:24):
is the investment that the country is getting is to me,
the reason for the tariffs to move manufacturing back into
place so that we don't need to rely on these products.
And eventually the countries involved in these tariffs will have

(30:49):
to adjust. So to me, it's a waiting game. It's
almost like a game of chicken here who's gonna pull
off first? But I will tell you that I don't
think gets possible for US consumers to avoid the impacts
of tariffs eventually. But we'll see back with Steve Stewart
next on the Morning Show. Here we go, it's the

(31:34):
second hour already here Thursday on the Morning Show with Pressed.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
That's got great to be with you. That is Jose.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I'm Preston and this is the executive editor of Tallassi Reports.
He is silencing his phone because it never stops ringing
with stories and tips and information.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
How are you, Steve Stewart good? He you know, it
was real quiet of the summer. Is not going to
be quiet from here on out, I don't think interesting.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
John Daily at first was not going to run, that
he was going to run, but now he's definitely out.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
So started to leak late last week, right right after
I left the show here, started to get calls that
he wasn't gonna that he wasn't going to run, and
so I actually taught to him on Monday, and we
actually broke the story, you know, with he gave us
the press release first that he was not running.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
And you know, his argument is that, look, I've been
here twenty.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Years, eight years as mayor, twelve over at the County Commission,
got two kids in high school, and you know, with
the facing another campaign, and so.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
He's just ready to quit.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
You know.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Again, he's got fourteen months to the election, so he'll
be mayor for fourteen more months. So it's hard to
see how he's got plans laid to do something different.
But I mean, he's been a politician for twenty years,
and you know, he indicated he didn't there's some local
politicians that hung around too long.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Now he's been by vocational through that whole process.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Right.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, he's working for some county association where actually it's
a city legal cities and so yeah, and you know
his wife's an attorney. So anyway, Yeah, he when I
talked to him, and he seemed very comfortable and very
upfront about it. Good and yeah, and so he says,
time to pass a baton. And so you know the
sad thing about this is and this is again the

(33:24):
state of media.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
His commission.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Matlow was not going to I don't think and this
was sort of the the chatter was not going to
run of Daily Ram because the poll numbers, there's been
polls done. He loses double digits, I mean, his negatives
based on what he's done over the last four years.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
He's made of bed.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah, and so he started getting wind of Mattlow, was
I mean of mayor Daily making some calls he was
going to run.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
And so what does he do?

Speaker 3 (33:52):
You know, first thing, Monday morning, files paperwork to run
for mayor and you know, so Daily makes his announcement
that afternoon and then and the local media makes it
look like the Daily's running for Mattlow, which is not
is not the truth at all. But anyway, that's the
that's what they wanted. And so I think so and
we'll talk about Matt Low in a minute, but I

(34:13):
think the thing that for you know, for Mayor Daily
to look back at his last eight years as you know,
as the leader in the leadership position. Remember who he
beat to become mayor. People is so because I had
to go look this up. This was eight years ago,
I gotta think bad.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Remember Andrew Gillam was Andrew Gillams a Dustin Daniels, That's right.
He was those two squared off in the general after
a primary and then he beat Christian Doser and so
the moderate Democrats and Colin Mayor Daily, a modern Democrat
you know, is where we are politically. But he's pushed
back this progressive move. I mean, Dustin Daniels was out

(34:52):
of you know, was the chief of staff Andrew.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Gillam along with Curtis Richardson and Diane Williams Cox, right,
they and they've been fighting the progress of wave and
successfully here so far.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
And so now with with Mayor Daily, you know, stepping aside.
You know, Mattlow sees this opportunity and you know, and
I'll tell you from my and I'm you know, I'm
going to separate this one I report, but from my opinion,
you know, Commission Mallow is just not really good for
Tyle as he at this point. And you know, it
seems like he's consumed with having control if you look

(35:27):
at what he did with how he announced with no
respect for Mayor Daily and then now all of a sudden,
you know, he had called the chamber corrupt and has
not been over to the Chamber conference. Now all of
a sudden he's headed over there. Yeah, I want to
talk more about that, but yeah, well I would.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Let look, the thing that stands out to me is
that before Jeremy Mattlowe really dug in his heels as
a kind as a city commissioner. If you step back
and look at the history of the county and the
city commission, while there will be disagreements about issues within,
it was largely collegial, they largely got along pretty well.

(36:05):
Jeremy mattlow changed that entire equation. Well, no, he did,
and I think that's his legacy so far.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
And it's amazing the efforts that he's going to now
to try to get people to forget that. And you know, hey,
you know voters, I know voters that can happen. Yeah,
I said that, and that doesn't happen. I mean, there's
no doubt that he could win and become the next
mayor of Thomson. But I'm just telling you based on
his actions and his policies, I mean, he's not good

(36:31):
for Talasie in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
We're going to talk more about that. Steve Stewart with me.
It's Telasureports dot com. That's the website you go to
and subscribe and get that paper. Guy, do what you're
talking about. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott back

(37:00):
with the executive editor of Tallahassee Reports. It's where you
go for actual news, telex report stuff. Let's circle back
and talk about Mayor Daily for just six real quick.
And I got ahead of myself on the match or thing.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, a couple of things that I think on the
legacy of Mayor Daily, right, Uh, he was. I think
he was a good steward of being mayor in terms
of what the role is.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
He understood the role. This is a council form of government.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Okay, largely you know municipalities, they take care of nuts
and bolts issues. It really shouldn't be ideological. Now he's
overstepped out line a couple of times then with abortion issue.
But you know, during his tenure, crime is down. Okay,
law enforcement, he's defending law enforce. He's been consistent in
defending the chief role of government exactly, and law enforcement

(37:51):
is that is the number one priority of local government.
So that's where it starts, okay, and so he's done
a good job with that. Now, look from the spending
side of things. You know, you know, we're financing at
grocery store in French down, so that's not a good thing. Also,
but this again, I think that there's going to be
the biggest legacy he'll have is I think lower crime rates.

(38:13):
And then he fought off the progressive move and you
could argue that's the most important because that protects the
other exactly. So having said that, now we move to
Commissioner Mala, who is just power hungry. You know, he
spent four years trying to get control of the city commission.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I want you to circle back to something you touched on,
because I think this really needs to be underscored. We
have talked year after year after year about how a
handful less than a handful of local commissioners refuse to
attend the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce retreat, their workshop,

(38:50):
their thing, their annual gathering, and it's a place where
business people in the community get to just kind of
talk casually with leaders.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
And look, there's always been some blowback on you know,
just on this issue. But what's happened is the progressives
took it to a new level to use it as
a political club, Okay, I mean, you know, to to
hit people over the head with They called the chamber
corrupt and then they you know, talked about the conference.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Being you know, just and that includes Mattlow.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Right, they talked about the conference being a place where
corrupt deals were made. I mean they really just if
you remember what has happened over the last four years,
I mean he sued. This just happened recently. Commissioner Mattlow
sued Blueprint. Okay, and now you can have problems with
blueprint issues, you know, specific programs which commissioners do, but

(39:39):
he actually sued Blueprint, which is a combination of the
county and the city. The judge just recently kicked this
lawsuit out, Okay, and said that it was you know,
without basis. And so you know it's when you when
you remember these things suddenly now this this pivot of all.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Now I'm going to run from mayor.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
I'm going to go over to the chain and you know,
and try to fool them into who I really.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
You know, they don't.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
He doesn't want those people to know who they are.
And there are some people that are transactional to say, look,
he may win, we've got to, you know, we've got
to you know, support him at some level.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
At what point, how does he explain it's evil, it's evil,
it's evil, it's corrupt, it's corrupt, it's corrupt.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm going now.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
And so you know, the point on this is I
think he's getting some good advice from some good PR people,
traditional PR people in this community. And I think it's
just like just smile and wave because ultimately, and I
found this out, you know, for years, it's about the voters.
It's not about polls, it's not about winning, you know,

(40:39):
the Tiger Bay straw pole. It's about voters, and voters
vary in their connection to local politics, and a lot of.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Them, you know, they don't stay engaged.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
I mean, that's why we're that's why we're here, and
we're trying to get people engaged.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
But I think that is now the approach is smile
and wave and.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Just and it'll just go away, forget it ever happened
exactly and it and that that works sometimes, and it
will depend on if you have a legitimate candidate. And
I think that there's going to be uh yeah, there's
going to be some movement in that direction.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
The next couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Is the new president of the Chamber. Is he in
the chair long enough by? And I mean officially won't
be in the chair, but will he be here enough
to know?

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah, I don't you know. It's he starts January first.
He's obviously getting me acclimated. It's going to be introduced
this weekend. Yeah, I don't think it'll have much of
an impact. Interesting more to talk about with Steve Stewart.
Will do it next here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Twenty one almost twenty two minutes past the hour with
Jose Can you see I am Preston Scott, just just
merely me and this is him. This is Steve Stewart
of Tellassi Reports executive editor. And boy, there's been a
lot of i'll call it confusion about what's going on
with the fire service fee.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
We know it's it's one again, one of the main
basic services, right public safety, got law enforcement, fire service,
fire services. And originally thought that this was more a
political issue and was going to get resolved. I think
this now has a is going to be a bigger issue.
There was a press conference yesterday. We'll give us the chronology. Yeah, so, look,

(42:28):
they they have every five years unincorporated UH Leon County
is served by the City of Tallisee fire department, got
a contract. They got a contract every five years. They
threw up the count say listen, this is what the
fees are going to be. And then they sent a
bill to the county. The county send you know, then
bills unincorporated area every five years. Well, this time they're

(42:48):
off schedule. It's like they need money sooner than five years.
So and why why is they're saying that they've they've
got a new bargaining agreement with the uh firefighters which
cost more money than they anticipate inflation on building new
fire stations one on the south side, and so the
school board Leon County school Board is not pay is
not you know, was originally being billed. They have refused

(43:12):
to pay because they view themselves as a you know,
a government entity that shouldn't have to pay the fire service.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Fee, and in fairness, that is the model statewide for
the most part.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Right, I can't I can't find anybody that thinks that
the school board should be paying another government.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Tee for fire services.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Okay, then you know, there's a discovery that that the
fire service fee is being collected unequally, and an example
being given is churches. Some are paying, some are not,
Some are paying for areas that are not sanctuaries. So
it's it's just sort of a little bit it's starting

(43:46):
to look like that the fire Services Fee fund is
not being its transparent and well it's not transparency. It's
just like they've sort of just operated on autopilot for
a while.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
It's not equitable.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
And so now when you increase the fees by twenty percent, normally,
you know, you probably wouldn't get a couple of people
complaining and it would just move forward. However, one of
their customers is a Leon County Commission, which they do
have some resources, and they don't like telling their constituents that, look,
you know, we were off schedule here and we got
to increase fees by twenty percent. So Christian Command leanon

(44:24):
County Commissioner Christian Command from District.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Too, has sort of led this fight.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
And originally it made some complaints about, you know, cost
of a new fire station.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
But now there's been some new revelations.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
The county attorney has discovered that you can't actually raise
the rates without the approval of the Leon County Commission
and the city. Now this is an argument, I'm not
saying this is fact. And so the city hasn't sought
any kind of approval from Leon County Commission. And so
there's a press conference yesterday with Commissioner Bill Proctor and

(44:56):
Commissioner Christian Command following a meeting on Tuesday with the
Leon County Commission that voted five to two not to
not to pay the increase.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Who voted in favor? Who?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
There's five of them, so the two that voted against.
There was a couple of different items, but they all
want to get a audit, but the the the actual
vote to you know, create the controversy of not paying it.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
The only two that voted against it were Nick Matics
and Carolyn Cummings.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Okay, so the five the voted four were Brian Welchrick Minor,
Christian Covan, Bill Procter, and David O'Keefe.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
David O'Keeffe.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
So so anyway, we're we've got a full fledged, you know,
investigation into the fund. So they're going to hire And
just to be clear, sorry Steve, Yeah, the county attorney
is saying the city cannot raise the fire service fee
without the county's signing. That is that is the way
it's being interpreted in okay. And so now you get this.

(45:53):
You've got these two commissioners, Commissioner Proctor who's pretty liberal,
Commissioner Command who's a Democrat, and they they are like
this doge duo. They are wanting to know where every
dollar in the fire service fee is being spent and
how you know, how why are you collecting it from
some people and not others, and how do you determine that?
And so it's sort of interesting to see that. And

(46:14):
it's if you look at how this is happening, is
that you've got a big customer. The city has got
a instead of just individuals that are customers that you know,
had this uh inability to get together on things. You've
got the county commission that represents three hundred thousand people,
and you're increasing rates by twenty two percent off schedule,
and so now they're like, wait a minute, we want

(46:35):
to know an accounting of what's going on. And this
is going to I my prediction that this is going
to have a little bit more traction than I originally thought,
and so there's going to be an audit unless they
broke we're deal. And I don't know if the county
now is in a position to where they could even
accept a deal because they are so far down the
road of wanting to know where every dollar is being
spent and understanding exactly how we determine who pays what

(46:58):
that box.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Is in the city.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
What recourse does the city have if they cannot raise
the fire service fee? Well, I think yeah, that's going
to be the issue.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Is they're going to have to make an accounting and
they're going to have to get leon county on board
and say, look, this is why we need to raise
the fee, and the county is going to have to
agree to it, and there's I would expect there's going
to be some cuts.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
And if I'm the county, I'm saying, let's talk about
the bus service and when you're spending the money there,
that's the next one.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Maybe we can get the Dogs Duo to go over
there and look at that well, because I mean there's
there's money there that doesn't need to be spent there,
that could be spent on fire services within the city
budget exactly. I mean again, the general fund is subsizing
Star Metro, who is losing writers ten dollars per year.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Yeah, so always good stuff. I love it when you
come here on Thursday. Thank you, Steven, appreciate it. Steve Stewart,
Tellasser Reports the website Telaserreports dot com. Subscribe, get the paper.
You will be a better person for it. It's the
Morning Show with Preston's Time to Save Lives and you're

(48:11):
going to have to suspend disbelief for just a few
moments here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm
going to read the headline, I popped a pimple in
the triangle of death and ended up in urgent care
on four prescription drugs. This is the story of a

(48:33):
young lady that has been validated by not just the
doctors and the er, but by others who have had
the same issue. And the issue is popping a blemish
that is located in what is called the triangle of death,

(48:54):
which is from the bridge of the nose to the
corners of your mouth, that triangle. The reason is there
is a vein called the cavernous sinus vein. It's blood
vessel that runs straight to the brain from that region.

(49:18):
And it's not so much what happens with the popping
of the blemish. It is the popping and that it
creates an opening where bacteria on your hands, bacteria in
the air, bacteria from your surroundings can get into that
opening and directly go to your brain. And we are

(49:40):
talking I have validated this, I have verified it, I
have checked it. We're talking complications like blindness, stroke, paralysis.
This little girl within hours of dealing with this blemish,
so she thought was that the emergency room with paralysis

(50:01):
on her face within hours. It even causes death. Now,
what I said last hour was I was going to
get to some specifics on dealing with blemishes in this area.

(50:21):
Recognizing that a lot of you have teenagers, and teenagers
are vain.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Well, we all are, but.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Teenagers, especially in the school season, they're very vain. And
this region is an issue. And so first avoid popping it.
Spot treatment or those patches that you can get, put
those on. But if you have to, if it's one

(50:53):
of those that it's gonna there, there's a way to
go about it to lessen the damage. One, make sure
you sterilize your hands with rubbing alcohol. They recommend a

(51:16):
diabetic landset that is a just almost a microscopic pin
prick to the to the to the blemish, a very
small opening that doesn't cause too much damage. And then
they recommend using cotton swabs to then get whatever is

(51:44):
there out, but that is not advised. What is advised,
because you still have an open wound is spot treatment
or go ahead and see your dermatologist or see a dermatologist.
But this is a really big deal. Like I said,

(52:09):
I might have just saved a life. Forty minutes past
the hour, there's actually more news on this front.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
We'll get to it next hour.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
WUFLA. Let's get a little direction on some optimum health naturally,
and joining us is doctor David Hart's Good morning, sir,
good morning, question.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I cannot help.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
But notice every time I'm at the grocery store the
number of energy drinks that are out there, these drinks
that are five hour, the Monster energy drinks, all of
these things designed to help us push past our fatigue.
Is that really a wise thing to do?

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Really really isn't. And boy, I'll tell you what, there's
all kinds of neurological ramifications that co occur from this.
I had something happen in my own family with my
granddaughter who just recently triggered off a seizure, ended up
in the hospital from one of these, and so it's

(53:24):
kind of really live to me right now. And I
don't think it may be I don't know if it caused it,
but it certainly triggered it. And a lot of people
are having neurological problems. In my daughter's case, she had
something that maybe happened in utero, a small little scarring
on her brain that she didn't even know about, that
wasn't even in her history. And yet the use of

(53:46):
these these drinks where they have tremidius amounts up to
five hundred and fifty milligrams of caffeine. And I'm along
with a bunch of other different herbs and so forth
that have caffeine in them, but don't even measure the
caffeine because they're not required to measure the caffeine, you know.
And so these different drinks can trigger off different problems

(54:06):
and it puts as my stress on different parts of
the of the the body itself. It can cause chronic
problems with the heart itself. It also can take a
nervous system and totally fatigue it, as well as different
organ functions like the adrenal leins and so forth. So
these things they alost need to be go in away.
The's been around for a while and there's been concerned

(54:29):
about a lot of research that's been done on them,
but it's it's something that continues to cause problems, and
it's it's a problem because it can trigger things that
people have no idea that it can cause a problem with.
And so there are underlying causes for you know, chronic fatigue,

(54:50):
and it's really really good idea to get to them
and try to figure out what the problem is. But
if you stay on caffeine and stay on energy drinks consistently,
you never really get to the place where you look
for something different. There's a way to artificially stimulate. I mean,
I mean, there's a fetamines that are prescribed for people
with chron and fatigue, and I've had my patients through

(55:10):
the years be prescribed those from even major medical centers.
But you can almost approach that same type of stimulation
by these energy drinks and hope and just cover up,
you know, the underlying causes or the real truth cause
of the problem by just stimulating people to the place
where they'd ever take it, and they never take a

(55:31):
chance to actually go look for the underlying cause. And
when they do that, it really puts them a great
risk of a future energy What.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Is if you could drill down because this might carry
us into another segment in a couple of weeks. But
doctor Hartz, if there was one specific thing that seems
to be common in people that are dealing with fatigue,
is there one?

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Is there one commonality?

Speaker 5 (55:55):
Well, you know, person, That's why I really I was
thinking about doing just another segment on this and get
into chronic fatigue and talking a little bit more about it,
because there are multiple reasons and that's why many times
it's missed. There's causes that are regular medical causes that
are standardized medical causes, and then there's ones that need

(56:16):
to be looked at more specifically by people that are
trained that way. So that would be a great segment
for us to do next time, and we can kind
of drill down to that and let me give some
of the more common causes of them and also some
ones that aren't so common.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Well, in the bottom line is, like we've talked about
for years now, doing these segments, and energy drink is
just dealing with a symptom. It doesn't ever address a causation.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
That's exactly correct. And that's the big problem is that
it's a very strong stimulate that can cover over a
lot of underlying causes.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
All Right, doctor Harts, thank you very much. That's teed
up for our next visit. I appreciate it, sir.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
All right, you're welcome, have a great day, pressent.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
We're going to deal with fatigue next time. Chronic fatigue.
You're always tired, you sleep, you're just feeling run down. Well,
what's causing that? Don't mask it, get to the cause,
and that's what we'll do. And if I know, doctor
Harts will get to some possible potential ideas on how
to address it naturally rather than mask it, which I love.

(57:20):
Forty six minutes past the hour, We're not gonna mask
anything around here. We take we've ripped the masks off.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Let's do it road trip, road trip idea, and now
the schools started. This is all about you. This is
for those of you that are that are wanderers, that
have a an explorer's spirit, who hit the dusty trails

(58:05):
in search of that next thing, that next place, that
little corner of the USA that you've never explored before,
and you just you're itching for something new. Actually, this
comes from my book Unique America. Not my book, but
the book that I own. Unique America is strange, unusual

(58:25):
and just playing fun a trip through America. It is
available on Amazon. It's a great little booklet. It's just
a fun little book and a little it's good grief,
three hundred and some pages of suggestions. Homer and Langley's
Mystery Spot, Phoenicia, New York. When you look it up,

(58:50):
it's on seventy two Main Street, Foenicia, New York. Country
Living Magazine described it as love att first site, Wonderland
of Oddball collectible vintage clothing and objects that art. Homer
and Langley's Mystery Spot Antiques is part store, part museum,
part auditorium.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
As in O. D.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
D Odd Auditorium, and a lot of fun. And so
it's it's a place Homer and Langley were where the
call your brothers very eccentric guys, and they lived among

(59:34):
more than one hundred tons of clutter. Today today the proprietor,
Laura Levine carries on their tradition.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
She's got.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
She's got more bizarre stuff than then. It's healthy for
your sanity. It's just it's just different. And so there
you go. There, there's there is your suggestion, Homeward Langley's
Mystery Spot Antiques, and it is. It is a place.

(01:00:07):
And in fact, they used to have a working website.
I don't know that it's it's necessarily working anymore, but
it is a thing. So I thought this was fascinating.
They're looking to expand ice. You know, how many Americans

(01:00:31):
applied for the jobs you got about. I think I
think they've got Hang on a second, how many how
many they hiring right now? They are looking to hire?
Maybe it's ten thousand nationwide.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
I don't know they've.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Got over one hundred thousand applications. One hundred thousand Americans
are ready to step up and serve. They're offering recruits
signing bonuses up to fifty thousand dollars, overtime pay, student
loan repayment, forgiveness options, and enhanced retirement benefits. Four hundred

(01:01:19):
offices across the country and globally. And yeah, they're looking
to hire ten thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Just saying, Mom, you want me to find a job.
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
When we come back, we'll turn the page on the
rundown and it's just us. The next hour, a reprehensible
brawl in Polk County has the attention of the sheriff,
Grady Judd. I've looked at it. There's some other things
that have my attention about that brawl. Talk about that.

(01:02:00):
We've got a Florida man story, We've got some ignored
signs that led to a misguided young man making a
terrible decision, and much more in the final hour, at
least for today, of The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
If I passed the hour, It's The Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Great to be with you. Third hour of the show
it's Thursday. Normally we have a guest on Thursday, but
Mark Levin had to reschedule for next week, and so
this segment was set aside for Mark. But his folks said, hey,

(01:03:03):
can Mark reschedule it next week? I said, absolutely not problem.
We never have a shortage of things to talk about. Now,
this story would oftentimes be considered for Florida Man's Status,
but the people involved in this are so beneath contempt
to me, they don't qualify for Florida Man's status even

(01:03:23):
if it's in Florida. That tells you something happened in
Polk County at Lake Winter Set. Some of you know it.
There are people that listen to the show from Polk County.

(01:03:47):
Grady Judd, my kind of guy, pulls no punches. In
this video, a group that used to be friends has
splintered off, maybe involving another kind of disturbance at another

(01:04:11):
location where some got in trouble and some didn't. Has
split it off into two separate groups. Well, they came
to the same place at Lake Winter Set and a
brawl broke out. That's all captured on video. Now, I

(01:04:32):
first want to address you know Graaty Judd called it
a reprehensible brawl. He said, it's over, folks, the conduct
is reprehensible. Obviously, you don't believe us when we warn you.
So you have unleashed the teeth of the dog, and
now we're going to start biting you, just like we
bit these guys here. Eight were arrested, all in their

(01:04:52):
late teens or early twenties, except for Richard cardin forty
years of age.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Dude, grow up.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
And put on your big boy pants and go play
with adults if you were there supposedly, I mean, if
you were there to be the adult in the room. Brother,
you failed because you got arrested. But I'll tell you
what I noticed. Sucker punching. Remember the video of the

(01:05:35):
Cincinnati brawl where a woman got sucker punched by a dude.
That dude, by the way, is now facing federal charges
because he was carrying a gun and he's a convicted
felon and he did not have his gun rights restored.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
So he's he's in big twelvel.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
But when I watched people sunker sucker punch other people,
forget that this is They found loopholes where they go
on to people's private property to have fights. To be jerks,

(01:06:18):
and then they jump into the water. Because the water,
they can't do anything about it. They can't play loud music.
They can't play loud music on the property, but they
can play it from their boats. So they just get
their boats there and they do stupid stuff and then
they jump back in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Can't touch me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
I'm in the water. And so they're going to address
that with a county ordinance, hopefully. But the sucker punching
man that is just so uncool.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
It just is.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
And and you know, watching this video was just you've
got to be kidding me. It's like a bunch of
frat boys being just a little jerks on the playground
and then this forty year old dude taking part. He's

(01:07:16):
probably still living at home with his parents. And it's
just like I said, I would not discredit the Florida
Man feature by putting these clowns in it. I just

(01:07:37):
wanted to call out and name the forty year old
I just anyway, ten past the hour, we're gonna come
back and we're gonna get to a real Florida Man's story. Well,

(01:08:09):
if you read something insane, I probably did it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
I'm fine of wood the block is going ahead and
google my name.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Now there's some men to the sins I have committed,
and we all feel better. Way we have somebody come on,
clever the man.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Now there's Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Man smh, right, and then there's Florida man.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Wouldn't you say there's two categories of Florida man, the
s mh and the yeah, the thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
This is a thumbs up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Aaron Mann, in one month, captured eighty seven pythons and
won the South Florida Water Management District's Python Elimination program

(01:09:22):
for the month.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
And he won a thousand bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
What And I'm not saying, like, whoa a thousand dollars? Now,
I'm saying, what, we can't be that cheap. And now
think about this for a second. He caught eighty seven
by himself in one month, gets a thousand bucks. You

(01:09:54):
know what the Florida Python Challenge how many they got
in a ten day hunt last year.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Two hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
He got that nearly half of that by himself in
a month. Not just that, last year's challenge winner got
twenty pythons and brought home a ten thousand dollars reward. Additionally,

(01:10:27):
specialized Python removal agents are paid fifty dollars for each
snake they secure, with an extra twenty five dollars for
every foot outside of four feet. So if you just
do the basic math, he caught eighty seven times fifty.

(01:10:49):
That alone is forty three hundred bucks. What the incentive
program for a nineteen foot python? That snake alone is
worth four hundred and twenty five bucks. This guy got
a thousand thousand dollars for eighty seven snakes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
He got ripped off. He got ripped off. You know
what he had to do next time?

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
He had to take their mouths shut, load them all
in the back of his truck and say, okay, you're
paying me the rate, or do I let these guys go.
I'm just saying then that seemed like a ripoff. That's
a thousand bucks for eighty seven snakes. That's that's just

(01:11:51):
over ten dollars a snake. Come on, on, Florida, do
the right thing by the man. He has demonstrated his skills,
don't you think.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
When we see the headline Florida man catches eighty seven
invasive pythons in a month, I see Florida man. That's
a man there now, Well done, sir, well done, and
you got ripped. The state needs to do make right

(01:12:36):
by him.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
The state does. I don't care what's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
Going on in the Southwest or South Florida Water Management District.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
I don't care. Do the right thing by the man.
Pay the man, pay.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
The man, pay the man, show him the money.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Sixteen past the hour, you're.

Speaker 6 (01:13:22):
Trying to arrest people. What's your purpose? What's your goal?
What's the moment? Why won't you show your braf like
like you look her up in the mirror. I think
I did a good job today.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Left. These are the little white liberals in Washington, d C.
Protesting right now.

Speaker 5 (01:13:52):
Listen to get people to turn left, to not go
down fourteenth Street.

Speaker 6 (01:13:56):
There's a random search right now.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
They've pulled over about six parts, seeing two people get detained.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
One by Ice, one by the police, taking no rhyme
or reason.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
And I just want to tell people at this point
that it's not been confirmed.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Continued.

Speaker 6 (01:14:10):
That's yes, that is what it seems like.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
Yes, okay, not confirmed, but that's just what I've been told.
This is so typical of too many young people. They
got nothing better to do then to get their knickers
all worked up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
Over.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
What are they doing to stop to help stop crime
in their area?

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
What are they doing?

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
Are they protesting the one hundredth murder in Washington, DC?
You know what this reminds me of recently lead research
assistant to the program told me about the numbers of people,

(01:15:00):
if I have this right, that really want the Native
American mascots to come back for the sports teams, and
by that meaning the number of Native Americans. Are there
Some that don't like it, yeah, but by and large

(01:15:21):
they do. It keeps attention on the fact that there
are Native Americans as part of this country, but that
it's almost always white liberals that have no Native American

(01:15:44):
in them, that aren't even remotely Native American. I mean,
they don't even embrace the Native American decor in their homes.
They're not walking around We're in turquoise jewelry and displaying
Kachina dolls. No, no, no, they just want to have

(01:16:10):
a cause. It doesn't matter that the Native Americans are
looking at him, going who are you talking for? This
is the same thing. They're just arresting. What are you
doing this one guy?

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
I mean, I credit him, he didn't drop profanity do
you go home at the end of the day and
feel good about what you did?

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
You're wearing masks. Yeah, yeah, they are.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
They're law enforcement and they're not gonna get docks because
of you little torps.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
Yeah hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
It's just I mean, put that guy's voice and his
just this whiny little rant next to Greta Thunberg. It's
just this same annoying nails on a chalkboard, knife and
fork on a china on a plate on porcelain. Just,

(01:17:31):
oh golly, angry mob confronts officers after Trump's federal takeover
of DC police. I'll be honest with you, I bet,
to a person, DC police are thrilled. I bet they

(01:17:56):
feel infinitely safer with the National Guard around and knowing
somebody's got their back and they can enforce the laws. Now,
the court problem in DC, we'll see, We'll see where
this goes. It wasn't the story I was going to

(01:18:17):
talk about in that segment. I'll hold that for another day.
But I just couldn't pass up on the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Would you do?

Speaker 6 (01:18:27):
You're visiting innocent people?

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Whatever? Dude twenty seven passed come back with the big
stories in the press box that may Save.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Your Life.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Sporting Show with Preston Scott. You're mocking me, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
Oh no, no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
I'm used Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA. This is
not hyperbole. We're Lives today.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
On the morning show.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
I want you to listen carefully, do not pop a
ZiT in the triangle of death. I've been so careful
up until now to not say that word.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Blemish pimple. Now it's it. It either one.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
I'll go ahead and go back to blemish. No, seriously,
this is a really significant thing. Store of a girl
who went after blemish on the nostril, little crease area
on her nose and within hours had paralysis on her face.

(01:19:53):
Was in the emergency room urgent care getting prescriptions for
four days, sorry or different prescriptions. It took three days
before she got sort of kind of back to normal
with only drooping on one part of her mouth. When

(01:20:13):
I looked into the story, it's called the triangle of death,
and it is a spot from the bridge of your
nose down to the corners of your mouth, and it
creates this triangle. And what's significant about this particular triangle
is what is located there. And I am quoting now
a dermatologist from New York, doctor Mark Strom. The area

(01:20:36):
of the face from the bridge of the nose down
to the corners of the mouth has veins connected directly
to the brain via a blood vessel called the cavernous sinus.
When you squeeze a blemish there, you leave open a
small wound through which bacteria, like from your hands, from
the air, from whatever, can enter the bloodstream. Complication can

(01:21:00):
include blindness, stroke, paralysis, even death.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
This has been documented.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
And then there's story after story of people talking about themselves,
talking about their kids that ended up in the emergency room,
that ended up in the hospital, that ended up with
different complications, And so they go through the process of saying,
use a patch or see a dermatologist, those are your

(01:21:26):
best options if you just And I'm sharing this because
we're at the start of the school year and kids
are remarkably vain about such things. And look, we all
get it. We all get a blemish now and then
as we age we get fewer of them. But I
get them, and we hate them, right, they're like they're gross,

(01:21:52):
stopped up ports like h oo. But because kids are
particularly vain, especially as they're back in school. I'm begging
you parents, make note of this and talk about it
with your kids if they're going to go after it.

(01:22:15):
If you go after it on your own face. In
the triangle of death their term, not mine. Sterilize your hands,
rubbing alcohol, use cotton swabs, and if possible, use what
they describe as a diabetic lancet that punctures the blemish

(01:22:41):
almost microscopically, and then you get whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Needs to be removed removed.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
And the wound is very very small, it heals very
very fast, and you limit the opportunity for bacteria to
get in there. Just understand that's the issue. It's the
opening the wound, if you will. So there's one story
that will save lives.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
You're welcome. Second story.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Sixty year old dude looking to eliminate table salt from
his diet for health reasons, turned to chat GPT. There
is no log of the conversation, so we don't know
what exactly he said in his query. What we do
know is that he took the recommendation of sodium bromide

(01:23:34):
in place of sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is salt table salt.
Sodium bromide a man is A is actually a cleaner.
It's used in manufacturing and agricultural purposes, and so this

(01:23:57):
guy ends up replacing it. For three months, he's on
sodium bromide. He ends up with poisoning, fatigue, insomnia, poor coordination,
facial acne, excessive thirst, paranoia, auditory visual hallucinations. It took

(01:24:22):
a minute for him to get right. Don't take medical
advice from AI. Besides, if you really think about it,
it wants to kill us and take over.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
I've watched Terminator.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
I know at some point the official intelligence will become
a well and we'll seek to control. When efforts are
brought to bare to cut the cable, it will spring
into life. Don't take medical advice from chat GPT. See

(01:25:11):
a doctor. Just talk to your dietician. Go see your
alternative care, health care provider.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
You know what I'm saying. You're welcome, welcome, smart of course.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Friday, Oh the stories I have for Friday, old boy,
I can't wait. Whistleblower here fired for exposing the Kentucky

(01:25:58):
Transportation Cabinet. Former employee filed a lawsuit against the agency
in Quantum Solutions, LLC. After she was terminating and terminated
in January for bringing the scheme to light. Allegedly, it
involved two employees who were creating and providing documents such
as driver's licenses and permits to non residents without running

(01:26:22):
the proper screenings concerning immigration status. The employees allegedly were
collecting money that was supposed to be for screenings and
pocketing it in cash for licenses.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
And so.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Because she learned of it and started publicizing it, she
got fired. So she's a whistleblower now, and so we'll

(01:27:06):
we'll see what happens. But here's what stands out to me.
Short segment here, Imagine what we don't know. This is
one one location in one part of one state where

(01:27:27):
they're making money under the table, selling off licenses to illegals.
Imagine what we don't know. This is why Doge matters.
Doge is uncovering what we do know. And by that

(01:27:48):
I'm simply saying these are things that by checking the books,
by looking at documents, we find out this kind of operation.
This is looking both ways, wink wink, not not. It's
not documented anywhere. Imagine what we don't know and how

(01:28:09):
much money is being wasted nationally. I would bet we're
talking trillions in waste and fraud.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
I really think. So forty six minutes past the.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Album come back and tell you about the number five
six and twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
Two told you that I would sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
I'm a little hot there. That's on me. That's on me.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Give myself a yellow card. Give myself a yellow card
for that. By the way, Premier League season about to.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Start tomorrow, Liverpool.

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
The number five thousand, six hundred and twenty three. Debbie
Indicott of Lenor, North Carolina has recaptured a Guinness World
Record title with five thousand, six hundred and twenty three

(01:29:27):
unique Coca Cola memorabilia items.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
We say that again.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
She has five thousand, six hundred and twenty three Coca
Cola items that are all.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Unique to each other, not one duplication.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
She had the record of twenty twenty eight. Twenty three
year record had increased to five thousand and seventy, but
she lost her title to Jeffrey Fouk Junior, who had
amassed two hundred and thirty seven items. So she has

(01:30:13):
gone crazy. How do you keep a catalog of that
to know whether you've got something or not? Five thousand,
six hundred and twenty three, totally.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Different from one another. Coca Cola memorabilia items.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
That is nuts brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
It's the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
Show one on WFLA. Acts twenty verse thirty five is
what we focused on. That was our startup today.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
Had a great visit with Steve Stewart.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
My goodness, gracious, what will happen to Florida's capital city?

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
Does it become Portland of the East.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
I really insulted the direction of the community by calling
Portland Tallahassee of the West. Portland's worse. It is infinitely worse.
But that's where Tallahassee's heading write it down, just is
if the wrong people get elected in the next set

(01:31:26):
of elections. Here locally, big stories in the press box.
The triangle of death, bridge of the nose, corners of
the mouth form the triangle of death where you do not.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Do not.

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Deal with blemishes. Some might call them pimpulse. Others may
refer to them as zits. You just don't do it
because you literally can poison your brain in hours doing so.
I'm just telling you it is a verified thing. I'm

(01:32:06):
amazed I haven't gotten people sending me email saying, I
am so grossed out by this topic. You know why,
because deep down everybody knows, we've all been there, we've
all done that, and you're grateful that I talked about it.
I know we also warned you about chat. GPT Oza

(01:32:28):
and I were talking in the break chat GPT's reaction
to sending that dude to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
We lose another human.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Oh L. Look, AI is fine for some things, not
medical advice. I'm just telling you see a doctor, see
a dermatologist, see an alternative healthcare physician on whatever you're doing.
This guy wanted a substitute for table salt, ended up

(01:33:06):
basically drinking an ingredient used in industrial cleaners. Florida man
catches eighty seven invasive pythons, gets a thousand bucks for it.
He got ripped off, He got ripped off, talked about
a reprehensible brawl in Polk County, and one hundred thousand
Americans applying to joint ice talk tomorrow
