Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
John four verses twenty three and twenty four. But the
hour is coming, and now is here when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. For
the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God
is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in

(00:32):
spirit and truth. Great way to start the show. Good morning, friends,
Welcome to Friday, August twenty second, here on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. That, by the way, was Lauren
Daigel and let it be a Hallelujah. Powerful Powerful Friday

(00:56):
means What's the Beef? Another edition of Best and Worst
good News. We've got a couple good news stories. We'll
of course share a dad joke and give you some
headlines from the Bee. In the second hour, Lee Williams
will join us the gun Writer. We got a Florida
Man story, different kind of Florida man story, a whoa

(01:19):
Florida Man story, And of course we'll get you ready
for what's the Beef. We've got the big stories in
the press box, but first a dip into the American
Patriots Almanac. That is next. Good morning and welcome ruminators
to another edition of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:45):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. August twenty second,
seventeen eighty seven. It was an inventor named James Fitch

(02:06):
tests a steamboat on the Delaware River as delegates to
the Constitutional Convention looked on, Oh now, think about that,
standing on the banks watching almost like, let's take a break.

(02:29):
We hear this. There's a gentleman on the water attempting
to do something with steam. Let's look, shall we Let's
pause on creating a nation and there you go. His
audience was my bobblehead collection right here. That's pretty crazy.

(02:50):
Eighteen fifty one, the schooner America defeats several other yachts
off the English coast to win the trophy that would
become known as the America's Cup. I remember there was
a period of time and it probably had everything to
do with Ted Turner being involved. There was a period

(03:14):
of time when the America's Cup races were really, really popular.
I mean, there's still a thing, but they're not nearly
what It's like. They had a zenith in the nineteen eighties.
I want to say I could be wrong about that,
but it was like it was a big deal. There's

(03:35):
something I don't know. There's something artful and almost poetic
about the America's Cup because sailing is at its essence
just harnessing nature and using it to power boat, and
whoever's the most skilled at doing that wins. And then

(03:59):
you know, you get high tech designs of the boats themselves,
and the crews and their training. It's crazy. Nineteen oh two.
I've never sailed. I've never sailed in my life. My
wife and I are talking about it just maybe kind
of sort of over the upcoming you know, Christmas break,

(04:21):
we might we might try it. I don't know, we'll see.
Nineteen oh two, in Hartford, Connecticut, Theodore Roosevelt becomes the
first president to ride in an automobile in public. Bully.
Nineteen oh six, the Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden,
New Jersey manufactures the first Victrola. It's still a name

(04:44):
that's out there. It evokes, it evokes nostalgia just looking
at it. Victrola. It just does when you see it
written out. What else we have here? It is? It
is National Surgical Oncologist Day here here it's never been

(05:13):
a better day. B e A. N Bean. It is
all about a celebration of your pets. So go out
into the world with your family pet and plant the

(05:34):
bean of love wherever you go. Okay, seems a little
odd to me. National Pecan tort Day. Okay, now, if
we're in a Pecans we've gotten away from raspberries. This
is good. And National tooth Fairy Day, National be An

(05:59):
Angel Day. I'm all about that doing nice things for others.
Sixteen past the hour, come back with some events to
have on your calendar and some and it did you know?

(06:23):
Twenty one minutes past the hour? Did you know? The
Victorian Australia's Summary Offenses Act of nineteen sixty six makes
it illegal to do a lot of things in public.
The law states that if you fly a kight or
play a game in public that annoys someone, it's then illegal.

(06:47):
Could you could you imagine if annoyance rendered something illegal?
Oh amg life in America would stop. I got to
thinking about that as I read this. I was thinking

(07:09):
about just the annoying things of life. It's just and
it's illegal. I I don't like that song playing from
the car radio next to me in the in this
on the traffic light, Sir, what you're playing annoys me?

(07:32):
I am calling the constables. You are you are engaging
in an illegal act when you do the drive through
and you pay them and they go, no problem, ah
a police police. The the young man in there said

(07:54):
no problem. That annoys me because that's not what you
should say. That is illegal. It's annoying. It is annoying.
When when did we go from something my wife and
I talked about the other day. How did we transition
from you're welcome to no problem? Excuse me? I would

(08:24):
hope it's not a problem. I just paid you. I'm
paying your salary by buying whatever. Anyway, just an odd
law on the books. There you go. Just a couple
of reminders some events. This one's a reminder of the
other one's an announcement reminder that the tickets are on

(08:48):
sale for the November seventh Tallassee Symphony Orchestra, the John
Williams Cinematics Celebration at the Atterley Amphitheater, Cascades Park play
music from Star Wars, Jaws, Superman, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter,
Indiana Jones. I mean, the list goes on and on

(09:09):
of incredible music that John Williams has scored for movies
over the years. Tickets are on sale theatterly amphitheater dot com.
They got food trucks and all that. It's gonna be
a great night. If the weather cooperates. It ought to
be beautiful weather. I mean, of course, if the weather cooperates,

(09:30):
it'd beautiful weather. It's a time of the year when
the weather potential is spectacular, that brief window when we're
outside of hurricanes and every afternoon rain. Can I hear
an amen, and we get to cooler temperatures, no mosquitoes
and lower humidity. It's just it's that brief time. It's

(09:54):
just awesome. And then let's put this on your radar.
The Show and Shine Open Car Show, Saturday, October eighteenth.
Here's why I'm talking about this. I have to be
picky about the announcements that I make. I get it.
Everybody wants me to talk about their event and their fundraiser,

(10:15):
not I can't. I can't. It'll be three hours of
fundraisers and here's the sound you'll hear on the other side,
and it's like children to you. It's the perfect fundraiser.

(10:36):
And I get it. I just cannot make time for
all of them. I can't do it. The reason I'm
talking about this one is because it benefits Honor Flight,
and Honor Flight is one of my favorite outlets to
allow the men and women who have served our country
a chance to see their monuments that honor them as

(10:57):
well as the other monuments in Washington, DC. One day
trip there and back. That is incredible. They've been doing
it for years. We have been a supporter for years,
and so it's from nine until noon, rain or shine.
No preregistration is required. Fifteen dollars per vehicle, door prizes

(11:18):
for registered car owners, silent auction fifty to fifty drawing
popular vote. We'll determine the best and show for a
motorcycle and vehicles. So bring it, just bring it. Whatever
you ride, man, bring it. Try to get Jose out
there with his Jurassic Park Mini twenty seven minutes past

(11:41):
the hour, back with the big stories in the press.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Spot story you want to share, Ride them at Preston
at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes he knows how to read, well,
actually his producer reads him.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
He doesn't know how to read.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Welcome to a morning show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Thirty five past it is Friday? Can you believe next
week is game week. The college football season begins this
weekend in Ireland. Two top twenty five teams. A little
football action. But next week, boy, there are some big games. Texas,

(12:30):
Ohio State, Florida State, Alabama. Out of a lot of people,
Alabama's gonna pace Florida State. Florida State was what what
was their record last year? Exactly?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I know.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
That is not what you're gonna see. I'm not gonna
say that FSU is gonna win the game. It wouldn't
shock me. What would shock me is if they got Hamburg.
I don't see that happening. I don't see it happening.
College football is different today. You just I don't know

(13:07):
that you can have There may be five programs that
are insulated from the whole Anil thing, and they're not
really insulated. They still have to hope they guess right
on the players they bring in or or let go
or whatever. It's just different. It's just different. We'll talk
with Irisha Fell on Monday. Tell me, when I saw

(13:32):
this story yesterday, my head almost blew up. Florida Governor
Ron De Santis announced that California will be extraditing the
illegal immigrant truck driver back to Florida yesterday. I'm sorry

(13:56):
show of hands. Who's shocked that he got out of
the state and went back to California? How was he
not arrested? And maybe I am just going to be
awarded the Dumbest Person medal? But how does a guy

(14:26):
responsible for killing three people, the three charges of the
vehicular homicide, how does he get out? How did he
end up back in California? How'd he get there? He's
illegally in the country, ice detainer, how did he fly
back home? How did he get there? I'm I was dumbfounded.

(14:51):
The new Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins was sent by Governor
Ron de Santas to personally take possession. Kind of sounds
weird of this guy, but I was just shocked. I
had to read that in like five sources before I
believed it. I thought it was no, that can't be right.

(15:13):
Doesn't it shock you that that guy was already back
in California? I was just dumbfounded. Supreme Court allowing the
Trump administration to revoke DEI related grants from the NIH
National Institutes of Health. It was a five to four ruling.

(15:34):
What John Roberts sided with the three activist judges and
I'm just what I mean. The bottom line is, Okay,
it's a win, but I couldn't believe that it was

(15:56):
five to four. But this, there's a line in here
in Judge Gorsuch's opinion, which was written for the majority.
Listen to this one sentence. Lower court judges may sometimes
disagree with this Court's decisions, but they are never free

(16:17):
to defy them. That line, in my opinion, was intentionally
thrown out to all of the judges that are continuing
to issue nationwide injunctions in violation of the Supreme Court
ruling back a month ago. Two months ago, Appeals Court

(16:39):
tosses out the five hundred million dollars civil penalty against
Donald Trump in the business fraud case. Judges said it
violates the Eighth Amendments prohibition on excessive fines. It's going
to probably be appealed. It's a slap in the face
at the ridiculous Arthur and Goren, the judge of the

(17:00):
New York State Supreme Court. Remember Supreme Court New York
is different. They will appeal it, no doubt to the
highest court, the Court of Appeals in New York. It's
a big win for Trump. Here's the problem, though the
judges affirmed the ruling. Now one judge said he should
have a new trial. And in fact, that is something

(17:22):
that could happen. There could be an entirely new trial.
They think it ought to be, you know, ought to
do it again. How can he be guilty of fraud
when there was no victim? The banks did not claim
they were victimized or defrauded. They lost no money, All
debts were paid, loans were given, loans were paid back.

(17:46):
How is who was damaged? They're claiming that he overvalued
his property. If anything, the estimate suggests he undervalued it.
But regardless, I'm I'm trying to understand where there's even

(18:09):
a case when there are no victims. It's the state
of New York that attacked him. No private entity was
damaged in any way, shape or form. Where is the case?
And CBS Caremark ordered to pay two hundred and ninety

(18:29):
million dollars after Medicare fraud scheme was exposed by someone
who worked for ETNA, a whistleblower more than a decade ago.
Bad for the for CBS forty one minutes after the hour,
those are your big stories?

Speaker 5 (18:49):
I mean, that really got out of hand.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
Fast on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Judge saying that he we can't hold detainees Vlligator Alcatraz
citing environmental concerns. Please, some other stories in the news
that I just I wanted to just take a couple
of minutes on each of these. You don't know the

(19:28):
name Tya Adams, and why would you. She's telling news
outlets that district court judge Kevin Mullins and his friends
in the small town of Whitesburg, Kentucky, would throw sex
parties in exchange for money or to get offenders out

(19:52):
of trouble. In other words, they bullied young girls into
being part of this or else type thing. Kind of
the ultimate good old boy network. Now, if you know
the name Judge Kevin Mullins, you know that he's former
because he was shot and killed by the sheriff in
the county where he was the judge. The sheriff had

(20:16):
suspicions that the judge was engaging with his daughter. And
it's the shooting is on tape because it happened in
the judge's office. The sheriff had lunch and he phoned
his daughter and then he brought the judge's phone, grabbed

(20:44):
the judge's phone and found his daughter's phone number in
there to kind of confirm suspicions, and wrongly the dad
the sheriff shot and killed the judge right there. There

(21:04):
is evidence now starting to come out that the judge
was behind some really seedy activities. In fact, not just
this particular young lady, but sure. A former sheriff deputy
at the Letcher County Lecher County Jail, Sarah Davis, said
she had heard stories that were nasty and sickening, and

(21:26):
in fact, she said, pretty much everyone in the county knows.
It was confirmed to me after working in the county jail,
especially after being invited to a party myself. She described
the lock up as a brothel where staffers had sexual
encounters with each other and with inmates. Mullins invited her
to a sex party once she declined, I was raised

(21:47):
better than that. And so when the sheriff found his
daughter's name in the contacts of the judge and there
would be no reason for him to have it, he
lost it. It was calculated. I mean, it wasn't like

(22:08):
it was calculated. Second story follow up to the honor
attempted honor killing in Washington. Remember we told you the
story about the mom, the mom, dad, and sister that
went to get the other sister, the other daughter, and

(22:31):
grab her. She had tried to run away because the
father was going to marry her off to some older
man in some foreign country, because that's what Islamis do,
not all, but that's what adherents do, and so she refused,
and so they were preparing to kill her if she refused.

(22:53):
They tried to grab her off the street. The girl's
friends and then others came and assisted. The father tried
to choke her to death, strangle her to death. Well.
At sentencing, the daughter confronted the parents, torched them. But

(23:16):
get this, Washington state, illiberal left coast. They didn't charge
them with attempted murder. He's got twenty months in prison.
Twenty months and his mom, her mom has a year.

(23:38):
Wait the restraining order. You are not to have any
contact with your daughter for ten years. Don't think for
one second this man's not going to have her killed.
She will have to flee, she will have to go somewhere,
change her name. I am just a but that's what

(24:01):
they do. This isn't on the judge. The judge just
slammed these people. But based on the charge, it's all
she could do. Prosecutors forty eight minutes after the hour.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
In the news, just having a little praise and worship

(24:39):
session here in the studios in the commercial breaks, listening.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
To a little grokhyger Wood Ancient Gates Gallus. You know,
you can listen to music and kind of get fired
up or be moved because music does that. I mean,
music has the ability to evoke emotions. But there is
something that is totally different about music too, and about God.

(25:12):
It touches us in a way that no other kind
of music can. There can be a melody to a
song that just strikes a chord because of the construction

(25:33):
of it. And by strike a chord, I mean literally
in us, a just something in us. And that that
that melody or that that music just does something. It
just it like strings, piano strings. That kind of music
does that to me. But when you take music that

(25:53):
is two or about God that speaks to your life
or speaks to God, God about God lifting him up man,
it it just brings that scripture to life, that that
he inhabits the praise of his people. Think about that

(26:19):
for just a second, that when you lift up, praise
God inhabits that.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Anyway, I will go on these binges and I'm on
one this morning where I'm just putting praise and worship
music gone in the brakes, and I'm just like, yeah, cool.
What's not cool is what's happening in a cracker barrel.
My goodness, even Gavin Newsome and the Dems are just

(26:56):
slamming on him, and not just steak Shake, Steak in
Shake is pulling a Wendy's and jamming on on cracker barrow,
kicking them while they're down. Their stock market value is plunging.
It's down sixteen and a half percent. And we'll talk

(27:19):
more about that. This is going to be a bigger story.
Lee Williams is coming up next. The gun Writer will
join us in the second hour here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Welcome morning ruminators. It is Friday,

(27:45):
August twenty second. He is Jose. I'm preston Its Show
fifty four to thirty seven of the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. It is great to be with you. We
are joined by Lee Williams, aka the gun Writer. You
can find his work at Thegunwriter dot substack dot Com.

(28:05):
Good morning, Lee. How are you, sir?

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Good Preston, I'm doing well. How are you, sir?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I am doing very well. That said, I am probably
probably not to the degree you are, because you have
invested so much time and effort in uncovering the dirty details.
And dirty is probably a polite word for what the
ATF has done to ruin a young man's life in
Patrick Tta Domiak, you wrote a piece that you released yesterday,

(28:35):
it's time for President Trump to end the ATF. And
obviously this is much more than just Tata Domiak.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah. I mean I started it off with no one
makes the case that it's time to end the ATF
better than the ATF, and they really do, brother, I mean,
these guys screw up internationally and consistently. I've written more
than one hundred stories about ATF since I started doing this,
and I've never seen a bloodier history. I mean, and

(29:03):
like I said in my story earn my column, it's
the blood of innocent Americans. I mean, look at every
twenty eight, nineteen ninety three, they took out Waco, they
killed people in their homes, and then just last year
March nineteenth, ATF agent Tyler coward did it to a
fifty three year old Arkansas Airport executive who was in

(29:27):
his home, thought he was being burglarized, never committed a crime.
I mean, ATF has committed atrocity after atrocity after trocity,
and they've never been held accountable. And I'm telling you
they're going to keep doing it under Trump until he
does something about the agency. So I think it's time
for the agency just to go. And that's what I
said in my piece yesterday. It's time for President Trump

(29:48):
to end the ATF. They cannot be trusted.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
What is the history of ATF? How do we get
how did we get it?

Speaker 4 (29:58):
You know, it started out like a lot of federal agencies.
The agents were unarmed, they were tracking stills, and then
they just added in addition to alcohol, they started adding
things to them, tobacco, and then when they got to firearms,
ATF was like, oh yeah, okay, now we can really run.
I mean, if you look at look at I guarantee

(30:19):
you go to their website. Just look at the Remembering
Waco homepage. Okay, remember Waco. You would think they would
they would have some type of guilt about the seventy
eighty people that were killed. But no, I mean they
really don't. They really don't. I mean they talk a
little bit about some misjudgment and then they just go

(30:41):
right into what a great job their agents do nationally.
It's ludicrous. I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
They said their big admission about Waco, certain actions by
ATF were criticized if we didn't have seventy people dead,
you know, ady total with the four ATF agents that

(31:04):
you know, it's like they just don't get it. And
then when you look at recent stuff, you have Patrick
Tata Domiac, the US Navy petty officer. You got Mark
Chuff Omanley who was at home with his family when
ATF did him. Russell Fincher, a guy who was a
Baptist pastor, they took him out, and then of course

(31:26):
Brian Melanoski they shot and killed him his home. You know,
I just don't see why we need this agency. I mean,
they these cases, they clearly show ATF can't tell the
difference between a criminal and a legitimate gun owner. And
it's this inability, brother that resulted in them filing false
criminal charges like they did to a Domiac.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
I want to make sure that we take some time
in our next segment, lead to talk about that distinction
problem and talk about those you mentioned those particular cases,
and they are among the more egregious, but there are
obviously more. But I want to go through Tate and

(32:08):
Mark Manley and Russell Fincher and remind people of Brian Malinowski.
And when we come back, we're going to tell you
what they in fact we're doing. And folks, you decide
if what happened to them is in any way, shape
or form appropriate. It's not, but we'll let you listen

(32:29):
in on that. Lee Williams with me, the Gunwriter. You
can subscribe get his work delivered directly to your email.
It's the Gunwriter dot substack dot com. It's The Morning
Show with Preston Scott Us Williams, the gun Writer, and

(33:03):
he writes about the Second Amendment. He writes about cases
that are an affront to the Second Amendment. And let's work.
Let's work from work backwards from your story. Let's start
with Brian Malinowski. Let's remind everybody what he was accused
of doing and being.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
He was never accused of doing and being anything. They
had a search warrant to search his home Brian was
a banker in Arkansas. He was the I'm sorry, an
airport executive. I get my guys confused. A senior airport executive.
He had an incredibly high salary and he went to
gun shows. Need get a table and he'd trade some stuff.

(33:40):
He was into coins. He would do that too. ATF
got a search warrant for his home. Rather than picking
him up at the office or going to knocking on
his door, they hit him in the middle of the night.
He thought there were burglars coming in. He armed himself,
fired around, hit some ATF agent in the sole of
a shoe. Of course, Tyler Kowhort, who's an ATF agent,

(34:02):
sighted in on his head and shot him dead. It's
just a tragedy, absolute tragedy. It never charged with a crime.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
What was What were they suspecting him of doing that
warranted a midnight raid.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
That's the way ATF works. If they're going to do
a search warrant, rather than just knock on the guy's
door or go into his office which is a no
gun zone in the middle of an airport, say hey, Brian,
you know we need to we need to go search
your home. Come with us. They always try and go commando,
and they kicked indoors. They taped over this camera right

(34:41):
outside on his front door. It was terrible. And then
of course he has no He's got a huge home.
He has no idea who's in his home. None of
them are wearing any police accouterment. He didn't hear him,
and they shoot him dead in the hallway and they
were exonerated.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
How is that possible? Well, exonerated based on.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
What based on the threat that he presented. They said
that the coward shot was okay, and he shot him
in the head and they left him laying there. He
died three days later. I mean, it's just a terrible
They weren't even giving him aid. It's a horrible situation.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Please tell me the family's suing.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yes, the wife, I'm sorry. The widow has filed a lawsuit.
And if ATF knows anything, they better damn well.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Payoff doesn't bring the husband and father back, though Russell
Fincher tell us about him.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Russell's a really neat guy. A high school history teacher,
lives in a small small town Tuscahoma, Oklahoma. Baptist minister,
a part time gun dealer. He had a little shed
built outside his home where he sold guns, and then
twenty twenty three seven vehicles come up and they disgorge
a dozen ATFA. They yelled and screamed that it put

(36:02):
him in handcuffs on his porch right next to his son,
and yelled and screamed at him enough until they scared
him and he agreed to stop selling firearms. They just
charged him with selling a box of ammunition to somebody
with a felony license or with a felony record. Who.
I don't know how Russell's supposed to know that in
Oklahoma you don't run people background for selling it, for

(36:24):
buying ammo. But that was their big git. They he
sold a box of AMMA to somebody with a felony
So where is He's out of the business, He's out
of the business.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Where's Oklahoma law in all of this? Where's the Oklahoma
Attorney General in all of this?

Speaker 4 (36:42):
The AG got involved, There were some lawmakers from Oklahoma
who represented him who got involved. They yelled and screamed
at ATF, and of course ATF just doesn't care. They
did nothing for this man who now has a felony record,
can't sell guns. Campus that's guns back we're going to
pick up there.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
We're going to talk about Mark chop upmanly, We're going
to talk about Patrick Tata Domiak, which is appropriate to
kind of end in with that segment and kind of
update you on where that all is, and then ask
a couple of the low hanging for questions with Lee Williams.
Thegunriter dot substack dot com. I guess here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott, look me staying on time

(37:35):
twenty one minutes after the hour. The Gunriter dot substack
dot com. That's where you subscribe. You will get articles
on things related to the Second Amendment, in this case
the call to abolish the ATF, asking President Trump to
do that and citing the many violations of just decency

(37:58):
that have taken place over the years. And Lee Williams
with me. Lee tell us about Mark Manley.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
Great guy, he's going to be at the at R.
I'm sorry our big get together next month when the
Second Amendment Foundation gets together, I'm going to be talking
to him there. He's a gun owner, gun collector, Second
Amendment advocate. He had seventy legally owned firearms stored in
a huge safe in his home. He lived by Baltimore.

(38:26):
And then one morning he gets up super early. He
sees ATF agents run around outside. They kick in the door,
They go down in his basement. They throw a stungernad
into the room where his son is sleeping. They threw
a stunnernad into the living room. They tell him they're
going to cut the front of his safe. He's like, hey,

(38:46):
I'll open up where I got nothing in there to
worry about, and he didn't went through all his guns.
Said well, we're going to get back to you. You
could be charged. Of course, they never took anything. Everything's legal,
except for, in my humble opinion, what they did to him. Again,
ATF agent using a bad informant, said that he had

(39:08):
illegal firearms. He had nothing illegal, and then they just
terrorized the hell out of him and his family for
no reason.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Lee, in your world of reporting, you know that you
have to be very careful about sourced information, and that
you know in the media world you do everything possible
to find multiple sources. You don't report on one source
for this very reason. How is it possible? Problem? Yeah?
How is it possible that an agency with the amount

(39:36):
of authority and power it has doesn't follow what basic
journalism requires.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
You know, when I was a police officer, I worked dope,
I worked gangs. If we had an informant say hey,
there are bad things in this house, we would always
get a second opinion. And you know, you work enough
CI's confidential informants. Eventually you know when they're telling the
truth of when they're lying. And and you've got a
guy who's facing charges, he's probably going to give you

(40:03):
a name or number. You got to be really careful.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
And the ATF isn't isn't. Brian Melanowski, Mark Chupamanley Russell Fincher,
and Patrick Sata Domiak all were hurt in these non
legal terms because the HF doesn't know anything about an
informant Tata Domiak.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Patrick is sitting in prison and has he was about
to be a Navy seal officer but now is in
prison and why he's on.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
The third year of his twenty year sentence. Again, ATF
kicked in the door. They found nothing illegal, so they
bring in this kid and I mean, he's a kid,
he's got nothing going on in his life. I'm going
to stop there. He's an ATF employee, He's not a
special agent. And what he does is he uses his

(41:00):
creativity to take the stuff, the legal items that Tate
had in his safe and turn them into bad things.
For example, he had a toy Sten. You want one,
to cost you about a hundred bucks. The'll mail it
right to your house. This kid took a real Sten barrel,
real Sten action, mounted him in the toy sten, couldn't

(41:21):
get a magazine to fit, so it fired one round. Boom,
it's a machine gun. They're still sold online. Everything that
Tate had is still available online. Half most of it.
You don't even need a driver's license or any kind
of federal paperwork to get. It's just amazing how badly
they went after Tate. They found nothing there illegal. Boom.

(41:43):
They went right after it.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
You could walk around my studio right now, Lee, and
you could take different things that are in my studio
and create quote, an assault weapon. That's what this guy did.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Yeah, Jeffrey R. Bodell, he's not an agent. He's an
ATF Firearms Enforcement officer. This was the first trial he
ever testified in. And I got to tell you he's
the reason that Tate is looking at twenty years. They
tried to get him for thirty years, but his attorney
got him out of ten years. But still, I mean,
this guy should be leading in the seal platoon and

(42:16):
instead he's sitting in a prison in New Jersey. It's
the most convoluted thing I've ever seen in my life.
It is the most screwed up case I've ever seen
in my life. You've got a guy in federal prison
who's got seventy more years to serve, who literally did
nothing wrong. Go to my story. We have all the
documents where we examined every little bit of evidence, everything

(42:39):
they took from him, and the documents are damning, but
not for Domiak. They're damning for the ATF. They show
that nothing he had was illegal. Not a thing he
was charged with was illegal. It's just a botched trade.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
And to the extent that you can look up all
of these items now and purchase them legally online.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Right, absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Real, Quickly, what's the update on Tate's case.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Well, he's getting some attention from high levels, let's just
put it that way. Whether or not he'll get a
pardon yet, I don't know. I certainly pray he does.
I really do. This kid does not need to be
in prison. He needs to be running a seal platoon.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Lee, thanks for all the work you're doing, and again
a reminder to all of you, Thegunwriter dot substack dot
com take him up on the offer, look at the case,
and then reach out and call. Don't write, don't send emails,
call your congress, congressional representation in the House, and Senate.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Lee, thank you, my pleasures, Thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Lee Williams with us this morning The gun Writer dot
substack dot com on the Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
Scott, Always looking for the Truth. It's The Morning Show
with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Oh my, big stories of the press box. Getting ready
for what's the Beef Friday. We'll start taking your calls
in about twenty minutes. Give it, give it us a
little time, kind of settle in here. Halfway through the
Friday show, it is show fifty four to thirty seven.
Peel's Court has tossed out Trump's five hundred million dollars

(44:35):
civil penalty in the business fraud case. Now they're letting
stand the conviction, they're tossing out the penalty. They're saying
it's a violation of the Eighth Amendments prohibition on excessive fines,
and it's a huge win for Trump on that front.
But he's not exonerated, which is what he's looking for,

(44:56):
and he should. The court is still saying, well, there
was a reason to try him. Not all the judges
agreed with that. One of the judges said, no, this
never should have happened. He's correct, there was no fraud.
I would defy anybody saying well he was. He's a felon.
Look at it. He was convicted, convicted of what. No victim,

(45:22):
No loss of money to anyone. The State of New
York said, you overvalued your property. But for there to
be fraud, there had to be a loss or or
in this case, a bank of creditors say I was defrauded.

(45:44):
I gave him money based on inflated values and I
didn't get it back. They all got paid. No financial victim,
no victim. None of the lenders cried foul, none of them. Why.
They know the game, they know how it works. What
do you got in property? What's its value? Okay, sounds good,

(46:06):
We're gonna look at everything. We'll make a decision. It
becomes an issue if they're not paid back, no one
was defrauded, but it's still big win for Trump. As
of now, Supreme Court allows Trump administration to revoke DEI
related NIH grants. What concerns me is it was a

(46:29):
five to four split. John Roberts sided with the activist judges. Again,
John Roberts is an activist and a originalist. It's all
a matter of what is convenient. I was shocked. He
cited on this one to say that the administration doesn't

(46:51):
have the right to determine the criteria in which taxpayer
money is handed out is absurd. Of course it does.
How do you think the money got flowing? To begin with?
Another big story fraud related CBS, Caremark ordered to pay

(47:12):
nearly three hundred million dollars after a Medicare fraud scheme
was exposed by a whistleblower who worked for ETNA. Insurance.
Actuary at ETNA alleged Caremark to fraud and Medicare by
false drug costs being reported for two years. Caermark was

(47:34):
found libel in June and now final penalties add up
to two hundred and ninety million dollars. And then, lastly,
I was shocked. I was absolutely shocked to read and
maybe you are shocked to hear, or maybe you were.

(47:55):
I was so confused yesterday my head hurt. Now. Look,
I'm not perfect. I do my best on these stories,
and I do make mistakes, and when I make them,
I absolutely correct myself. It just doesn't happen often. But

(48:17):
I was so confused when I read that Florida was
extraditing that trucker back to Florida. What How was he
not in custody. I'm sure someone out there can explain

(48:38):
to me he's not just alleged to have committed vehicular homicide.
He did, It's on tape, it's visible. How is he
not held? And how was he not held if for

(49:00):
no other reason an ice detainer? How is he in California?
That just blew my mind to the point that I
had to spend probably thirty five forty five minutes looking
at alternative stories to find out is this real? Is

(49:20):
the governor confused? I listened to Governor Ronda Santas himself
saying I was like, no, no.

Speaker 9 (49:30):
No.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
Truth.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Though, anyway, he's back forty one minutes past the hour.
Florida man when we come back, but a different kind
of Florida man. Dispensing information at the speed of sound.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Hey, it's Friday.

(49:55):
Let's sing a little bit. If you read.

Speaker 10 (49:59):
Something insane, I probably did it.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
I'm found of where the boxes.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Go ahead and love with my name.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Now there is so man to the sins I have
committed and we all feel man away. We have somebody
Florida Man. Wow, breaking news. The FBI is raiding the
home of John Bolton. Oh what's that about? What's happening Bethesda,

(50:39):
Maryland as we speak? All right, Florida Man. I promised
you this was a different kind of Florida Man. Normally,
Florida Man is a story of infamy, of shaking your head,

(51:00):
just kind of laughing, shaking your head, going Florida Man.

Speaker 11 (51:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
The lead research assistant of this program is prodding me
to broaden the definition of Florida Man. Florida Man could
be a hero. We've done stories where Florida Man steps
up and shows out as a hero. This is a

(51:34):
different Florida Man. Florida Man saved after stray bullet hits
his Christian cross. God is definitely real, is the headline. Okalla,

(51:54):
Florida twenty year old man, Alvin Aiden, Sorry Aiden Perry,
is at his friend's house. His friend, not very smart,
was eventually charged accidentally discharged a forty cow sidearm hit

(52:15):
young Aiden in the chest, a forty cow to the
chest at close range. But Aiden was wearing a cross
on a pretty good sized chain that was hanging right

(52:36):
where the bullet hit. The bullet split, Literally, the bullet
split ricochete went through his chest, out into his armpit,
and back into his arm. It broke his arm. I

(52:57):
think it was his humorous but because it hit the
gold cross, the cross itself, it ricocheted and did not
hit his heart, did not hit any major organs at all,
not just a broken humorous. You know why we're calling

(53:24):
him a Florida man, because a Florida man isn't afraid
to wear the Cross of Jesus on his chest. That's
why he's gonna be fine. Trauma surgeon said, he's a
very fortunate individual. Because his chain wasn't there, the outcome

(53:47):
would have been completely different. Ricocheted off the chain he
was wearing. God's definitely real, said the surgeon. Come on,
all right, we're gonna come back. Get you ready for

(54:08):
what's to Beef Friday. We'll open up the phone lines.
More to come here on the Morning Show with Preston
Scott fifty two minutes pasted, just a few minutes away

(54:36):
from What's the Beef Friday? The phone lines are open
if you'd like to jump on board. You know the rules.
No monologuing, no dad jokes, No well I don't really
have a beef, then don't call. It's what's the beef?

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Now?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
You can take that and turn it into one. Trust me,
you can take you can You can turn anything that's
not a beef into one. Just rework it a little bit.
You can do it. So we'll take your calls. I

(55:22):
I hopefully am not going to have to worry about
the lines being open. Will be will be good with
phone calls. I want to get back to Cracker Barrel
losing value in the stock market. The apparently for many

(55:42):
the logo thing was like the last straw. Here's what
I didn't know. Did you know the CEO is woke?
At least she's being accused of being woke. Sean Davis wrote,
writing for the Federal as Cracker Barrel is dead and
it's stupid. Woke ceo killed it. With gay nonsense. He writes,

(56:09):
The real reason Cracker Barrel has been struggling is that
its service and food quality nosedived after COVID. Now, remember
I told you I got a note from somebody whose
wife served maybe still does serve, as a trainer for service,
and had mentioned that there were massive changes in food prep,

(56:31):
and Sean writes, instead of fixing it, the company and
its woke executives decided to go full bud light and
taste the rainbow. And there it's customers to object. They
stopped bringing you biscuits and corn bread as a matter
of course, and they shrunk them. The food started to
taste and look reheated instead of freshly prepared. The service
got slower and sloppier. Everyone who's been a loyal customer

(56:52):
over the years has experienced this. It is undeniable. Admittedly,
it's hard to find weight staff and cooks who always
up when they're supposed to and take pride in their work.
But Cracker Barrel executives refused to address those problems, problems
that any customer would have pointed out had they bothered,
had they been bothered to ask to be asked, The

(57:12):
executive instead went all in on the woke alphabet stuff,
and the executives who've now destroyed something like two billion
dollars of company value since twenty twenty have just continued
down the path of DEI and so forth. And he

(57:33):
points to the remodel and the brand change on the
logo is just a symptom of what's going on inside,
and so more and more people now are are pointing
to the CEO of the company, and that's something we'll

(57:56):
probably spend a little bit more time on because it's
it's incredible how upset people are about this, and if
there is truth to the DEI woke policy stuff, it
explains everything else. People go to a cracker barrel because

(58:24):
it harkens back to a different time. Well, all right,
it's what's the bee Friday. You can complain about that.
You can complain about me complaining about that. You can
complain about anything, your little hard desires. No profanity, don't
make it personal. Those are your rules. Oh and don't monologue,
and you know, get get off track. Eight five zero

(58:45):
two zero five WSLA four lines are open. I expect
them to be filled. Call now, just in case some

(59:10):
of you are new to the radio program. Welcome. There's
really nothing that can prepare you for the next half hour,
just if you're new to the show. There's just nothing
like this in radio. It's called What's the Beef, where
I take calls. I surrender a half hour of precious
broadcast time to you so that you can feel a

(59:36):
little bit better, have your load lightened, just a bit,
to have the angst meter drop a notch or two.
You can complain about anything you like in this segment.
Just no profanity and don't make it personal. Tell us

(59:57):
what happened. Don't name the restaurant, don't name the busines.
Just let us know what happened. We're here for you.
We want to help create a kinder, gentler you. And
so we begin with the phone lines. It's eight five
zero two zero five to b FL. As we cycle through,
a caller, anticipate that and make a phone call eight
five zero two zero five w f l A. Jonathan,

(01:00:20):
Thank you for being patient, you are up. What's the beef?

Speaker 12 (01:00:23):
Oh the beef this morning is actually with ourselves almost
I see all the time, and I've been guilty as well.
And when we speak about crime and violent crime that
is affecting certain communities or to be the Black community
or the Hispanic community through the cartels. We always speak
on how that affects their community, and I know that's
very pc of us, and we probably feel awkward highlighting

(01:00:46):
other things, but I find it disingenuous that we don't
highlight how it actually affects our own personal white community,
because that's, you know, that's just as important as how
black on black how or how black violence affects or
or you know, the Hispanic cartel on how it affects
their communities. It's also affecting ours, and I just find
the little disingenuous that we always highlight how it affects

(01:01:06):
their community and not our own.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
That's a fair point. I think that's a very fair point, Jonathan.
I think what what happens is because the media spends
an inortan amount of time and has since well since
since Trayvon Martin, since Ferguson of of painting white police
and white people as the systemic racists. I think that

(01:01:31):
the pushback is well, but the overwhelming majority of deaths
in the black community are at the hands of other blacks,
and you're right, it impacts all of us because we're
one community. But I think that's why that's I wouldn't
excuse it. I'm just explaining what I think is the
reason for it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:48):
It's the narrative that's been set up by the by
the mainstream media. I think what you're saying absolutely, yeah, absolutely,
But you make a valid point for us to highlight
it so that way, but THEO make it attention so
that way. It's everyone. Maybe maybe backing out of our
PC corner sometimes would help us get a little more progress.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
I like it, Jonathan, Well done, appreciate the phone call.
Let's go to Kelly. Kelly, you are up. What's the beef, Hey, Preston.

Speaker 13 (01:02:13):
My beef is all the people that use the left
lane as a travel lane, not it's a passing lane.
It's not a travel lane. The whenever I get behind
them to pass, you can't. It's like a standstill, and
it's just so aggravating.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
It's worse when trucks do it. Yeah, you can't get
around them. They lock. They they're like they're married. Truck
in the right lane, truck in the left lane, and
they just hey, what's up? How you doing?

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Right, yeah, good point. Did you what did you think
of Florida's efforts to make it a law that you
couldn't sit over there.

Speaker 8 (01:02:51):
That is very nice, very good.

Speaker 13 (01:02:53):
I just wish more and more people would realize it
and they would be an enforced more.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Gotcha, Kelly, do you feel better?

Speaker 13 (01:03:02):
Yes, yes I do. Thank you, Preston, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
That's why we're here. See right there, Jonathan brings a
great point forward. Kelly made a great point just like that,
and we have two lines open. Matt, John you will
be first when we come back. Quick check of weather
in traffic eight five zero two zero five to b
FLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.

(01:03:28):
We got time for plenty of calls. You can be
on the air. Think about what that'll do to your resume.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Excuse me, man,
please have some more water. The pellegrino. Yes, sparkling this

(01:03:51):
breathe very nice. Good morning, and welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 14 (01:04:00):
Hold you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
We got one line open, A five zero two zero
five to the f l A. Let's go back to
the bank of callers that are in fact waiting, and
we begin with Matt. Matt, thanks for waiting and thanks
for calling in. What's the beef.

Speaker 8 (01:04:18):
It has to do with you?

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Okay?

Speaker 15 (01:04:20):
And I'm sorry, but I've been saving them up a
little bit. The first one is I don't mind you
guys taking vacation, but you stick us with Gordon deal every.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Time you go and hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on. Okay, that's fair, except at Christmas
we leave you with us.

Speaker 15 (01:04:39):
Oh yeah, that's fine. I don't have a problem with Christmas, Okay,
I just have a problem those of us who have
to get up early. We have to listen to Gordon
in the first part of the day, and then they
have an extra three hours of them is just too much.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
We try to have Grant Allen fill in for me,
but Grant was unavailable the last time I was away,
so that's but wait, look, it's a fair complaint. I
receive it. Go ahead.

Speaker 15 (01:05:03):
Next a very good And then the second one is
why can't all your shows be like the one you
had on Wednesday? The uh you know no way Jose segment,
the segment on the on the U Chad with the
bone thing. I just understand why all your programs can't
be that good?

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Wow, that hurt. That hurt. But that's he that's you know,
You're entitled to your beef. Matt, it's yours, and I
hope you feel better. It's okay that I don't. It's
okay that I don't. It's all right. I'm a I
can take it now, Matt, Thanks very much. I appreciate
calling in. Thank you so much, my friend. I appreciate it. Uh.

(01:05:42):
Let's see here. We got John standing by. Hello, John,
you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 11 (01:05:47):
Good mornings.

Speaker 15 (01:05:48):
Thank you for what you do again.

Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
Uh, but I'm gonna have to jump on that.

Speaker 8 (01:05:52):
Doug Pile two my base with you.

Speaker 10 (01:05:55):
Last month, last week you brought up adult human beings bydifires. Now,
I don't understand what they're thinking is not going to
work under their ineffective COVID masks. So why would they
put all that contraption together? Anyway?

Speaker 8 (01:06:13):
Fast forward to something serious, the wreck down there on
the turnpike.

Speaker 10 (01:06:21):
It has been in law since cdl's come out that
drivers have to be able to communicate in English. The
Obama administration in twenty fifteen and sixteen done just like
Biden lived with the border. It's always been illegal to
cross the border not coming through a port of entry.
They have not enforced the law. It's just that simple.

(01:06:44):
You don't have to make up a new law, enforce
the laws that you do have. Now, folks are dead
on account of something somebody did not take care of.
And I hope, I hope. And if the acou was
worth the salt, worth the salt of their where they
would be after the people to let this happen. Anyway,
y'all have a good weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Thank you, John, appreciate the call and the set of
beefs there and you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 16 (01:07:11):
My beef is people in parking lots don't don't don't
watch out where they walk. I mean they'll If you're
sitting there patiently waiting for people to walk by, trying
to back out of a parking place, they just continue walking.

(01:07:33):
You got your your your lights on that you're going
to go, and they just continue walking and they walk
out in front of you, don't even look.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Mmm. Now you know that in a parking lot, I mean,
I think pedestrians happen.

Speaker 16 (01:07:51):
I know that the driver has the responsibility of watching
for people. But you know, be adult, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
Move along.

Speaker 16 (01:08:00):
You six years old.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:08:02):
Yeah, you hang on your mom's hand and look at
the as waves before you cross the street. And all
these people getting killed on the highway ninety twenty seven,
don't they I mean they're smiles as dressed as nothing
there and all of a sudden they get killed. They
don't look both ways before they step out into the road.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Okay, and thank you. I hope you feel better getting
that off your chest. Uh, let's fit one more collar
here real quickly, Jody, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 10 (01:08:33):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (01:08:33):
Personal?

Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:08:34):
Up is where the city of Power have these commission
that they're trying to sever ties with I uh, I mean,
well that's one of the reasons why I moved to
walk all the county because it's.

Speaker 8 (01:08:50):
Just stuff like that.

Speaker 9 (01:08:52):
It makes my blood boil when when they try to
do if they're the police department is not their puppet
to order around. They're out there to do a job.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I don't disagree with it. I mean, yeah, it's but
that's the direction the city is going, and voters are
tolerating it well.

Speaker 9 (01:09:14):
And that's the thing is just you know the voters,
you know, they voted me out, meaning.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):

to find a way to break the agreement to support Ice.

Speaker 11 (01:09:38):
Why.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
I have no idea. It's just I'm other than the
fact that you've got two socialists and now you've got
a mayor who's going to show his true allegiance because
he's not running for reelection. So yeah, seventeen past the hour,
we've got we got Joe standing by, and then we
have three lines open, so we have one one more

(01:10:00):

with Preston Scott. Well, let's do this. Four callers are

(01:10:26):
standing by. These will be the final four callers. Joe,
thanks for calling into the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
You are on the air What's the Beef?

Speaker 14 (01:10:36):
Well, I had a physician called me and left me
a message and gave me two extensions, told me to
call them back. So over a five day period, I've
called them and I've let ten messages on each extension
and I've placed at least two hundred and fifty phone
calls and never got a response back from the doctor.

(01:10:58):
Then when I had the appointment, I went in for
the appointment, was there thirty minutes early. Then my appointment
time came around. Six other people came in after I did.
They went into the office and came out before I
was called back.

Speaker 8 (01:11:15):
That's my beast.

Speaker 13 (01:11:16):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Wow, sounds like you need to sit down and have
a chat with your doctor and whoever runs that practice
and maybe find a new one.

Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
Something.

Speaker 11 (01:11:27):
But this was a specialist, so I.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Can.

Speaker 8 (01:11:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
So thank you, Joe. I appreciate it. I hope you
feel better. Yeah, you know professionals like that. Remember our
time is just as valuable as your time. Why make
an appointment if you can't keep it? Well, do you
want me to spend time with other people and give
them my time too, Well, then don't schedule so many appointments.

(01:11:56):
If you give people a half hour, that's fine, then
schedule to appointm it's an hour. I'm I hear them, absolutely, Ken,
you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 8 (01:12:08):
Yeah, sir, good morning. I got two quick ones. How
do you leave the state of Florida? After causing an
accident and get back to California. Just a question. The
other one is I heard the same commercial six times
in a row. Not a commercial, another one six times
in a row. Navy Federal Credit Union, Boat in the bag,

(01:12:32):
Boat in the bag, six times in a row.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Are you listening? Are you listening on the stream or
on broadcast radio?

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
I just I just Google pressing Scott in the morning.
I guess that's streaming it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 8 (01:12:46):
And where do you live an I'm all City Beach.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Yeah, there you go. You're getting targeted because you live
there and we have zero control over what's streaming on
the on the uh on there that that's probably a
national buy and they're just I'm sorry, six times in
a row. I know right? Yeah? Can I can I

(01:13:11):
feel you? I know what you're talking about. I wish
I could crack that code. I've tried, but I just
haven't figured out how to do it yet. Richard, you're up?
What's the beef?

Speaker 11 (01:13:22):
Hey, Prescient?

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
How you doing good?

Speaker 11 (01:13:24):
Okay, you're not gonna like my beef is with Forest
State University. Come on, I'm born here in Tallahassee the
football they've just so much priced themselves out of control.
My dad was chairman of the Boosters in the early eighties.
I've been a season ticket holder all my life. I'm

(01:13:46):
not anymore. I am a Booster because of basketball, sure,
because I'm really looking forward to that. But I know
so many people in Tallahassee that are that were die
hard Booster fans that have given up.

Speaker 12 (01:14:00):
And I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:14:02):
I mean, I know there's nothing I can do or
anybody can do, but it's just gotten totally ridiculous. You
can go with two people without spending I mean, it's
just a ton of money. And that's that's my beef.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Thank you, Richard. I I appreciate your phone call. I understand.
I can only tell you that their pricing was based
on their extensive surveying of Boosters and season ticket holders
and determining what the market would bear. And that's all
I can tell you. They responded to what people want

(01:14:36):
in the stadium and what some people again, some people
are willing to pay for. But I hear you, Melissa,
you're the final caller. What's the beef?

Speaker 17 (01:14:46):
I want to piggyback on the previous caller about Raymond.
I mean Gordon Deal. You I prefer number one, Gordon
Deal number two, Grant Allen number three.

Speaker 8 (01:15:01):
That's my beef.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Okay, So you prefer Gordon Deal when I'm not.

Speaker 17 (01:15:05):
Here, Yes, definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
You're one of the few. But I appreciate you letting
me know. Thank you, Melissa. All Right, you're welcome. There
you go. Okay, boy, you get the feeling some people
had to purge a little bit here today. It's okay.

(01:15:31):
And you see there were some targeting us in different forms.
It's okay, it's okay. We You can't be in my
world without thick skin and a teflon coat. Velcrow does
not work. You can't let anything stick. So it's all good,

(01:15:54):
my friends. I appreciate all of you because if you
called in, you cared enough to call, and if you
called in, you're listening. Thank you. Twenty eight past the hour,
let's do some news. Come back with our best and
worst of the week or two here on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
Welcome to the m a D Radio Network, where we
challenge you to make a difference in your world in
a positive way, improving the lives of others.

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well, apparently to many,
or at least one, the Wednesday show featuring No Way
Jose was a high water mark, So that could be
the best of the week. But it's not. It just

(01:16:58):
isn't we do We do have our best and worst
of the week. You are up? Oh well, how to everyone?
So my best?

Speaker 18 (01:17:08):
Well, actually, let me start with the worst for to
get that out the way. Our fish Blueberry has passed.
Oh no, he's now with Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
A fish go to heaven in your world? Oh yeah,
all fish?

Speaker 18 (01:17:21):
You know, animals, you know they're they're just innocent, okay, okay?

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
And the best is I am.

Speaker 18 (01:17:27):
My best bud is taking me to go see my
first Christian heavy metal concert.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Now I might think of that as an oxymoron, that
there's no such thing as heavy metal Christian music, but
I'm open. I'm open.

Speaker 18 (01:17:40):
Yeah, I've never thought I would be doing anything like that,
but here we are, and I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
So my son's taking you to a concert. Yeah, oh
my goodness, gracious, it just sounds like something he would do.
So you're looking forward to it? Oh yeah, I'm excited. Well,
head bang, I'm pumped. I was are you wearing one
of your wigs. Yes, I love it, absolutely love it. Okay, good.

(01:18:08):
My best of the week is I can't give you
many details. I'll just tell you that a place where
I've done business for many, many years was working on
a project for me. They are not a radio client
in any way, shape or form. It has nothing to

(01:18:30):
do with any of that. But they just extended a
courtesy to me that blew my mind and as well
my wife's.

Speaker 8 (01:18:47):
I just.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
I just relationship loyalty matters. I have trusted this man
and his business for a decade and a half, maybe
longer two decades, and I trust them implicitly, and they, just,

(01:19:14):
like I said, they extended a courtesy to me that
just was just wow. And so I'm just praying God's
blessings on that business, continued blessings. It was just it
was very unexpected, and I just I was touched by it.

(01:19:34):
Now we get to the worst of the week. Sorry, pal,
you're gonna have to hold here. Micheline star chef Alice Austen.
She's an animal lover as well. She worked with a
London based cat food brand, Catkin, to create a cat
food burger. Hold On, hold On, now. She took cat

(01:20:00):
food mix meats usually served to cats, shaped it into
a patty form, coated it in panco bread crumbs before
throwing it on a cat food topper. From there, the
Michelin star chef smothered the burger with creamy ricotta, parmesan, cheese,

(01:20:22):
lemon spread, catkin, smoky bacon jam, and then served the
cat burger on a chabbata bun with lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, cucumber,
and a drizzle of honey. There are people that saw
this thought it looked so good. They actually ate it.

(01:20:44):
Humans ate the cat food burger and they blind tasted it.
They never would have guessed it was made from cat food. Absolutely.
I mean it's getting rave review use they sell. They

(01:21:05):
offer twelve of them each night, serve for a half hour.
They're sell them out. That's my worst of the week.
Cat food, cat food. People are eating it. Of course

(01:21:32):
it could be explained because it's London. Just saying seeing
the teeth of those people. Forty one minutes after the hour,
we got good news next, Josey said to me, and

(01:22:03):
the break boy folks are beyond beyond meat. Have got
to be really upset. They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
And here this lady takes cat food, serfs it up
with a little panco and some ricotta and boom, god,
oh my goodness, gracious, Oh what people will eat?

Speaker 4 (01:22:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:22:27):
Unreal? All right, let's go to Hudson, Minnesota. Here this
is a really sweet story in the midst of a
difficult circumstance. Carol Trainor and her husband Chad owned a
restaurant own a restaurant urban Olive and Vine. And they

(01:22:51):
founded the restaurant and did so in order to recruit
fourteen to eighteen year old workers. They wanted young people.
They wanted to pass on crucial work experience life experience
to young people that wanted a job. But Carol had

(01:23:12):
a seizure and entered Tacomatos state at the hospital that
lasted for months. Her husband, Chad was at her bedside
all the time. He never ever asked the staff to
do a thing, assuming the restaurant would just stay closed.

(01:23:33):
That's their way of living. The kids wouldn't let that happen.
A mixture of public school students and homeschool students, again
all under the age of eighteen, just stepped up without

(01:23:54):
being asked. A seventeen year old young girl named Acacia
started coming to work at five point thirty in the
morning to open the store. She became the leader that
others like fifteen year old Joe looked up to. They
were among the homeschoolers that kept the business open during

(01:24:16):
the day while the public school kids were at school,
and so they would then go home and do their
school work at night, while the public school kids came
in and ran the restaurant the rest of the day.
Carol died in May, Chad closed the restaurant so the

(01:24:38):
staff could attend the funeral. They're back open working, and
according to Chad, the restaurant exists because a group of
kids stepped up without being asked and did the unimaginable.

(01:25:03):
They rose to the occasion, selflessly serving to keep the
business afloat. We all know there are kids like that,
and there are a lot of them. But when you
see a documented story of a group of kids that

(01:25:27):
just kind of looked at themselves and said, hey, this
is not about us. It's about the owners of our
business who have employed us, who took a chance on us.
They didn't just pay it forward, they paid it back.
That's good news. Forty seven minutes past the hour we

(01:25:50):
come back. We'll close the program with a dad joke
and some headlines from the Bee on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Jose's wearing ashes and sackcloth.

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Time for dad joke. Will arm you with something to
share on Sunday. What do you call a fake noodle?

just sharing. I've got books, but I've got a list
from Ryan. I am going to use the list. You're
welcome to submit a dad joke President at iHeartRadio dot com.

Demsey mail in ballot band will place undue hardship on
dead voters. Metropolis sues Superman for reducing crime. Donkey Kong's
certain collecting another banana will fill God shaped hole in

and neither of his ten bodyguards. Study finds average parents

It's the Morning Show one E on WUFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
That one's stung a little bit now, didn't it. We
started the day with John Chapter four versus twenty three
and twenty four. That is where we began the radio
program after a stellar new tune from Lauren Dagel. Big
stories in the press box today, the illegal immigrant trucker
who killed three people had to be extradited back to Florida.

(01:28:41):
How in God's name was he ever in California to
begin with? Why why was he not held in Florida
after committing the vehicular homicide? I don't understand it. It's
probably irrelevant at this point, but boy, I'd sure like
someone to explain how the guy ended up out of

(01:29:03):
our custody. He was he's here illegally, that alone should
have caught it caused him to be held somewhere. CBS
