Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey, good morning, welcome friends. Thursday, August twenty eighth. More
on that in a moment here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. He's Hosey. I am Preston, and I
want to preface our time looking into God's word with this.
This is a tough show today. Now it's going to

(00:36):
be broken up by guests that will not be necessarily
talking about the news that we will talk about in
the other segments. This is a typical Thursday, broken up
with a lot of different things. Every show is different, right,
audio magazine kind of thing that we do. But the
stories today are tough. They just are. And it actually

(01:01):
is really amazing to me. The scripture that popped up
in my devotional Ephesians four thirty two says, be kind
to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in
Christ forgave you. A lot of people look at that

(01:23):
and they can say, well, be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another as well. You forgive people that are
in the body of Christ. And that's not really what
we're talking about. Remember that, as Paul's writing this, he

(01:44):
is merely expanding on the gospel that Jesus lived and
spoke himself, and what did Jesus say. Jesus said, pray
like this. You know we've turned it the Lord's prayer
into kind of our thing. But I want to challenge
you to reconsider that just a little bit. Our Father

(02:08):
in heaven hall, it would be thy name. And I
tend to just go back to the King James version
of this, and I you know your kingdom.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Come.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'll try to your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven. When I pray this prayer. And
I don't pray that prayer every day, but when I
do give us this day our daily bread, I pray, Lord,
thank you for providing what I need today. Because he

(02:40):
has I don't have to worry about that today. Some
do forgive us of our sins, our debts as we
forgive others. It doesn't say only Christians forgive us our

(03:00):
sins as we as we In other words, whatever measure
we use to forgive others, that's that's how God's going
to measure it out to us. So holding on to unforgiveness,
You've heard it said time and again, the only person
that's harmed by unforgiveness is you. The person who's not

(03:20):
forgiving the person you're angry at, the person you are
bearing a grudge against. They're not impacted by your unforgiveness.
You are. They are never impacted by it. You are
because you carry it around. It is. It is an
anvil around your neck. Ephesians is just a very simple statement.

(03:44):
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another in
the same manner that God, through Christ forgave you. You
can't outdo how God has forgiven us through Christ. You
can't outdo that. So we are commanded to forgive. That

(04:13):
is an unbelievably appropriate scripture for today's news. Today is
a vivid reminder that we live in a world that

(04:39):
is corrupted by sin. It will not always be that way.
There will come a time when Jesus sets everything straight,
and he will, and so the admonishment be kind to others.

(05:07):
Don't be mean. That's just I mean. Isn't that a
good word to start the day. Just be kind in
a world where you can be anything. Be kind. Ten
past the hour, Just about twelve past the hour, August

(05:43):
twenty eighth, sixty to nine. English explorer Henry Hudson discovers
Delaware Bay Hudson River Hello, Henry Hudson, does that ring
a bell? Eighteen forty five. I Scientific American Magazine publishes
its first issue. Nineteen twenty two. The first radio commercial

(06:06):
airs on WEAF in New York City. It was a
ten minute commercial by the Queensboro Realty Company, which paid
one hundred dollars. Can you imagine a ten minute commercial?

(06:30):
Actually you can because you watch in commercials all the time,
you watch them online, you watch them on TV. Well
maybe not you. And then it was on this date
in nineteen sixty three that more than two hundred thousand
people gathered at the nation's capital to urge Congress to
pass President John F. Kennedy's Civil Rights Bill, which prohibited

(06:55):
racial discrimination in public places, employment, and education. That is
where doctor King gave the speech, I have a dream,
one of the brilliant orations ever given. And isn't it interesting?
The Civil Rights Bill. Let's look at that again, prohibiting

(07:19):
racial discrimination in public places, employment, and education. And what
do we have now? Affirmative action is an affront to
the Civil Rights Bill. Doctor King would be going, what

(07:39):
I was assassinated for? What for?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
This?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
For just discriminating against another group of people? And somehow
using us as justification. He would be ashamed. He would
be ashamed of affirmative action. Affirmative action is just the

(08:07):
antithesis of what doctor King espoused. All right, sorry, it
is National Thoughtful Day, So what does that mean? That
means demonstrate thoughtfulness. It is such a biblical concept. Being

(08:35):
thoughtful is being aware of the needs of others, and
you don't even have to use the word needs. Being
thoughtful could also be defined as simply being aware of
others considerate. What does considerate mean? Consider it others like

(09:08):
people that park in handicapped parking spots and they're not handicapped. Well,
but I give rides to my mom and she's handicapped. Okay,
is your mom with you? Well no, then don't park
there you're not handicapped. Stop it. That's inconsiderate. Same parking lot,

(09:37):
two people, three people, four people walking to or from
the store in the middle of the row, not to
the side where a car can still proceed. But no,
no walking right now, that's inconsiderate. Come on now, I'm
trying to be kind and tenderhearted. Stop that be considered.

(10:03):
It's National Thoughtful Day, Be thoughtful today. It's also National
Power Rangers Day, National bow Tide Day. So there you go,
sixteen past the album, come back with did you Know?

(10:24):
And six hundred thousand. Today on the program, Steve Stewart
will join us. We've got doctor David Hartz. Are you

(10:46):
constantly tired? I mean dealing with chronic fatigue? He's going
to talk about why. And then in the third hour,
Doctor Ed Moore a little more history, a little different though.
He recently traveled to South Africa, and we're gonna just

(11:07):
talk about that. Talk about his trip to South Africa,
what he observed and experienced. Did you know? A cat's
best sense is its hearing. They can rotate their ears
one hundred and eighty degrees and are capable of hearing

(11:31):
one point six octaves above the range of a human
and one octave above that of a dog. Well to that,
I'm still not a cat guy, and no offense to
those of you that love your cats. That's awesome. I
would never be mean to a cat ever. Nope, I

(11:55):
just wouldn't choose to have one as a pet. In
a thousand years, I would have a stuffed animal before
I would have a cat. Just no interest in a cat.
But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate that many of
you love your cats awesome. Just give me a little space, okay.

(12:16):
So I'm just saying, give me a little space. We
talked about this that we're going to just kind of
dive into one of the topics here. President Trump wants
to allow six hundred thousand Chinese students in We currently
have two hundred and seventy seven thousand, three hundred and

(12:36):
ninety eight. And it's interesting to me that Secretary of
State Mark or Rubio is looking into all of those students,
looking to revoke visas from those that are questionable, those
that are maybe overstaying, they're welcome. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik
explaining that according to this is what he told Laura Room,

(13:02):
that this is about preserving enrollment for universities that otherwise
would not be able to stay afloat without those Chinese
students and their dollars, to which I and Marjorie Taylor
Greene say, so, if we need Chinese nationals in this

(13:28):
country to stay keep a university afloat, that university needs
to go under. Now I have a significant issue. Although
I okay, I'm gonna go ahead and give away I'm

(13:49):
gonna give away a headline from the Babylon B. Babylon
B wrote to the effect, in a brilliant plan, Trump
plans to dumb down Chinese society by inviting six hundred
thousand students to attend American universities to ruin a generation.

(14:16):
That's funny. It is funny. But we are We're watching
some questionable decisions. And you know, it's interesting. Is I
question some of these things that Trump is doing are
he is he is investing in American businesses with our
tax dollars. That's wrong, It's wrong. It's socialism. It is

(14:42):
government involving itself in American businesses, which then cause us
to look at policies that that favor that business over
another business. Well but but you know that that company
does ninety eight percent of its volume from the government,
so it's to facto. Well, maybe there's another company he

(15:05):
wants to compete against it. Paying somebody to do work
for the government is not the same as owning that business.
It is dangerous. What I wanted to get to though,
is it was interesting I bring stuff like that up
where I think Trump is just flat wrong. He is wrong.

(15:25):
This isn't even debatable that's socialism. Government interest in any
private sector business is socialism. And he's talking about doing
it with defense contractors, just like he did with Intel.
The Intel deal is staggeringly wrong. Congress needs to shut
it down. Did you get asked if you wanted your

(15:46):
tax dollars to be funneled into Intel? But what's interesting
is I immediately got some email that was like, he's
a winner, Trump's doing everything great. It's like, no, he's
not sick of fan. Let me tell you, friends, you

(16:08):
start holding allegiance to a person to the degree that
you ignore things that are obviously wrong. You are You
are in a cult, you are following a person. You
have lost sight of objectivity. And I am gonna punch
you in the nose. I am gonna poke you in
the eye. I'm gonna nudge you. I'm gonna make you

(16:31):
very uncomfortable. I don't care who it is. It's wrong.
Twenty eight minutes after the out, I told you today
wasn't gonna be easy.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Thirty six minutes past the hour. I'll get this story
over with. It is a big story. I have to
fit it in this Morning Ford is recalling three hundred
and fifty five thousand trucks. We're talking twenty twenty five,
twenty twenty six models of F five fifty SDS, F

(17:34):
four fifty SDS, F three fifty SDS, F two fifty
SDS and the twenty twenty five F one fifty. That's
a lot of trucks, and I don't doubt that some
of you own said truck. The instrument paneled cluster in
the vehicles may go blank when the car is turned

(17:57):
on because of a computer error that occurs when the
system is trying to go into sleep mode. The result
is a danger to the driver, and so be advised
there is a recall connected with Ford if you own
that vehicle. All right. The story, of course, is the

(18:22):
shooting yesterday morning at Annunciation Church and its school. They
have a K through eighth grade school. They were holding
a mass, a service at the start of the school year,
and a twenty three year old transgender shot and killed

(18:42):
two children, wounded fourteen more children, seventeen people overall, just
indiscriminately shot through the windows of the church while they
were in their mass. It was full. I went ahead
and looked at the two videos before YouTube pulled them
down that he left behind. This is a sick young man. Obviously,

(19:20):
the typical handwringing is going on attacking the gun, not
the person, because and let me tell you something, the
angst is going to change now that they've identified the
shooter and we know that he's a tranny. It's going
to change because they can't possibly allow it to be

(19:41):
the actions of the transgender It has to be the
gun's fault, and it has to be our intolerance of transgenderism.
He was armed with a rifle of shotgun and a pistol.
He had a knife. The videos one was a ridiculous

(20:02):
rambling with virtually no sound whatsoever of about twenty minutes,
just a few profanities uttered here and there, and kind
of almost a maniacal, sick, twisted thing. And then in
the other video, he revealed basically a manifesto his journal.

(20:29):
I screenshot at it. I want to share some excerpts
from it. We're not going to talk about name him.
He's not going to be famous. He shot himself. He
ended his own life. But I think that there are
things inside here that are very useful. It's why that

(20:51):
manifesto of the transgender shooter in Nashville or yeah, I
think he's at Nashville at Covenant score is important to
know to see And that was thousands of pages. We're
gonna get to some bottom lines here, but stay with

(21:11):
me on this. This is a very very important story.
And at some point we're going to talk about why
transgenders are targeting Christians churches, and we're going to talk
about the mental illness that is transgenderism and does that

(21:31):
disqualify someone from owning and having a firearm? Forty minutes
past the.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Island on news Radio one hundred point seven, double USLA.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
What I had to do? Okay, let me give it
a sickon. When I watched the video where he doesn't
say very much, if anything, he just flips through the
pages of his journal, and I paused it, I screenshoted it,
and then I went to the next page, paused it,

(22:20):
screenshot at it, and I pulled some relevant portions here.
This world has too much pain to deal out that
I can't cover it up with the good sides of life.
I hope you all can move on and forget the
pain I've caused. I have wanted this for so long.

(22:44):
I am not well I am not right. I'm a
sad person haunted by these thoughts that do not go away.
I know this is wrong, but I can't seem to
stop my self. I'm severely depressed and have been suicidal

(23:04):
for years. Only recently have I lost all hope and
decided to perform my final action against this world. Now,
let me back up for a second and remind you
of my contention. He's twenty three. This was time to

(23:28):
go live on his YouTube page right after or right
as he was committed in the violence. In one of
the videos, he had a diagram of the church that
he drew from hand. I don't know if his mom
worked at that church or at a church, but his
mom worked for a church. But he had planned this out.

(23:53):
But I wanted you to note that he is of
that generation that has never learned how to cope with failure,
with not having things go your way, because that's life.
And I have told you for two plus decades that
we were raising a generation incapable of handling and coping

(24:16):
with the difficulties and challenges that life offers. Jesus said it,
in this world you will have trouble. You're gonna have it.
We live in a sinful, fallen world. He couldn't handle it.
He didn't have the mechanisms, and so he lashed out.

(24:41):
Notice he has been dealing with suicidal thoughts for years,
but instead of just killing himself, no, no, he did
what anyone would do. He decided he'd try to kill
some children because it was mostly kids in that room.

(25:04):
Out of the seventeen victims, sixteen of them where children,
two are dead, eight and ten. I think I'm dying
of cancer. It's a tragic end. It's entirely self inflicted.
I did this to myself as I can out control
myself and I've been destroying my body through vaping and

(25:26):
other means. I do not want to recover. I want
to go out on my own means. Unfortunately, due to
my depression, anger, and twisted mind. I want to fulfill
a final act that has been in the back of
my mind for years. The irony of all of this
writing is his final page, pray for the victims and

(25:53):
their families. He sends, and I love you. In one
of his pages, he wrote about how Mom, Dad, it's
not your fault. You loved me, you were awesome brothers
and sisters, not your fault. This is going to ruin
your life. I know that some of you you're not sorry,
but I'm gonna do this anyway. He knew exactly what

(26:15):
the consequences of his actions were going to be. He
didn't care, didn't matter. So transgenderism, as I've been saying,
is a mental illness. For some, it is just a
social media contagion. For others, it is a full blown
mental illness, and it needs to be diagnosed as such,

(26:37):
and people need help. I'm curious, at what point will
anyone have the bravery to suggest that maybe people fighting
this should not have a firearm. Now, I will also

(26:59):
point out it wouldn't have mattered. People that want to
commit an act of violence will find the means to
do it, whether it's legal or not. Still, it's a
discussion that needs to happen. Forty seven minutes past the end,
it is The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Living in a fallen world?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
It is. It's a story from Maryland. Stolen car spotted
by police in seat Pleasant, Maryland. Officer followed the vehicle.
I'm reading the report from a distance to avoid alerting
the driver while awaiting the arrival of the Prince George's

(28:06):
County Police Department helicopter unit. The idea is, okay, maintain
a visual and then turn it over to the helicopter
so you don't inspire a chase. Right, So a short
time later, on duty commander directed the officer to disengage,

(28:32):
which he did. The officer then was turning towards the
city and he came upon a two vehicle crash involving
the stolen vehicle. Thirty year old mother, dead, child pulled

(28:58):
out of the vehicle, non life threatening injuries. Suspect vehicle
contained four juvenile males between the ages of fifteen and seventeen.

(29:26):
How do we get to a place where First of all,
are they just not in school because it's not Labor
Day yet? Is that the deal? My guess is yes,
they're still out of school. Question would be would they
be in school if they were supposed to be. The
question is what are fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen year olds

(29:50):
doing stealing cars? And I know some of you were
going to say Priceton ten, eleven and twelve year olds
are stealing cars? Yeah, I know, I get it, and
I hear the call hold the parents responsible. Ever been
a parent of a kid who doesn't want to behave,

(30:12):
wants to do their own thing? What do you do?
I'm serious, when they get to a certain age, what
are you supposed to do? If they've just decided they're
going to live their way and it doesn't matter what
you think. You would be amazed at the obstacles that

(30:36):
parents face. Amazed. This gets back down to parenting when
children are younger. It doesn't guarantee anything, but boyd does
it matter? Another tragedy we come back. Steve Stewart will

(31:04):
join us from Tellassi Reports, hour two of the Morning
Show with Preston Scott's next All Right five passed the hour. Honestly,

(31:28):
I'm so grateful to talk about something else because the
news sucks right now. It just does. It's depressing some
of the stuff we're talking about. We're having to reign
in Donald Trump because some of the stuff he's doing
is off the chain, stupid, and you know, we're talking
about the shooting in Minneapolis. I just thankfully Steve Stewart

(31:50):
is with me from Tellassi Reports. He's the executive editor.
Tellassireports dot Com is where you go to subscribe I've
got the new paper here, Steve, that was mailed to
my own. Yes, hey, new papers out.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
And first of all, the best news I'll have for
you today is that the weather's about sixty eight degrees outside.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
It's gorgeous. Yes. And Charles volleyball one last night. All
right from there it is down and another breaking news, Hey,
listen real quick on that.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yeah, my daughter's graduated, so you know, I don't I
don't have as much skin any but we're looking there's
seven and oh they just beat They've beaten two top teams.
They're looking at back to back state championships. That's something
that doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, very little, especially in this day and age. Portals
and Rochester anyway, I'll keep you up to date on that.

Speaker 6 (32:33):
All right.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Well, while we're talking about Leon County schools.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Yeah, and there were no guns at the game last night,
so wow, that's a development exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
There were some kills, but no guns. Oh funny. He'll
be here all week, ladies and gentlemen. The tip jars
on the piano anyway.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yes, So I guess the breaking news is that superintend
A Hannah has had enough with the uh, the the
dog sniffing approach on weapon in the random searches. So
it looks like they're going to try to put metal
detectors at schools now because of the rash. If you
haven't been following this, I mean, it's just like you
just keep turning your head at god be a weapon

(33:11):
at Records, weapon at Lincoln, and then they found weapons
at genis Cox Stadium, which is really good for you know,
getting the kids to come out and go to a game.
So it's just out of control, and it's you know,
I guess the good news is that you're getting these
guns before there's actually shootings. But you know, the question
that I was thinking about is what are they missing?

(33:31):
If we're finding these, what are they missing?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
And I think I've been saying for years, Steve, whether
it's high schools or whether it's middle schools or colleges,
guns are on campus, who has them? Right?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
And so I think, you know, listen, the delineation here
is probably it's worth noting these are people who feel
like they have to have guns to protect themselves and
whether that's just a perception or if it's an excuse.
And I think this gets to a broad I think
this gets to a broader problem of and yeah, you

(34:03):
touched on it is what are these.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Kids doing after school? What are they doing? You know,
are you know? And and there's no oversight Steve, let
me let me just let me interject this. I think
you're partially correct there in that assumption. But I also
think that culturally, there are a great number of young
people that carry firearms because it is posturing. It is

(34:24):
a it is a status. It's not about protection, it's
about a status.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
And that's what they use as an excuse. And I
agree with that. And we're not pushing back on that culture, right,
We're not. And locally is where you need to start,
you know, because I mean you can just and we're
not doing it. And this is what's happening. And you know,
the thing is the number of guns that were found.
It's amazing to me. We haven't had more actual shootings
in these situations. And so I think Superintendent Hannah has

(34:50):
looked at it and said, yeah, what am I missing?
And so they're gonna I guess they're gonna put you know,
metal detectors in all high schools.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, are they going to have single points of entry?
I mean multiple metal detectors at each property is the
only way to do that thing right.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
And so you know, if you go look, I was
at Childs just the other day, and you can see
that from previous years, they've got that campus locked down.
So there's only a couple of entries and that's probably
you know, that was due to some stuff they've they've
done from getting state money, and so I guess they're
ready to probably you know, be able to implement metal detectors.

(35:24):
It's going to be it's going to be a pain,
but you know, given what you're seeing, he would be
just imagine if something happens. I mean, he now is
feeling the pressure of we've tried this random searches and
obviously this is not a deturn effect.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Well, you only have one law enforcement officer on each campus,
so who are they positioning at the other location. That's
that's going to be the issue.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
They're gonna have to deal with this, and I think
that's one of the reasons why they didn't want to
do it to begin with. And they went they went
to this process of random searches and hoping that that
would deter people, but it's not. And you know, the
thing is I've talked to people on the ground, and
these are people that are actively involved every day and
chasing and trying to catch these people. And it's it's

(36:06):
the same group. I mean, it's you could remove one
hundred people and solve this probably for the community, and
it's just like a game of hide and seek, and
and they're young, whack them mole exactly. And again, I
think we've been extremely lucky that we haven't had more
incidents related to the guns. But if you look at
what's happened over the last four days, you should alarm
anybody to that point. Marcus Nicholas, who is on the board,

(36:29):
is looking for, you know, some more information, wants to
get together with TPD and LCSO to see exactly, you know,
what they can do.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
And look, Walt Neil knows what the issue is. If
you read read the report.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
They did about the anatomy of a murder, it's about
family structure and it's about unfortunately young African American males.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Maybe we can lower the structure of l c SO
and put a few more people at the schools. That's
a topic for ano time. More to comers. Steve Stewart
on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Whose weather, traffic and the big stories in the press box,
the fastest three hours in media, and don't be surprised
if you have a chuckle here and there, just like that.
Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Twelve past the Hour. Steve Stewart with me from Tallahassee
reports the website Tallahasse superports dot com. All right, Stephen,
a little more news in the school system. Yeah, real quick.
So there's been this battle on the keeping tracks open
over the last couple of years. Ever since getting them open, yeah,
getting them up. And they used to be open.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
People could go on the weekends and use the tracks,
and they put in these million dollar astrotur fields.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
And then there was vandalism.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
So this is really a part of the discipline issue
that I think is really hiding under the table a
lot of these schools, and so they close their tracks
because they were afraid that there was going to be vandalism.
Some people really raise concern because the Leons track, which
is very centrally located, provides a lot of opportunities for
people that live in those neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I would argue the tennis courts, the track. There's a
lot of facilities at a lot of schools that should
be available to the public.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
So they've made the decision to open the Leon track.
But it's like, you know, they're putting in signs and
cameras again, trying to deter trying to get people to
fall rules. And you know, I know, I'm getting old,
and it's just that this this culture right now is
nobody wants to fall rules. And so what we do
is we close the tracks instead of trying to enforce

(38:32):
the rules. And so, anyway, kudos to the school board,
I guess for finally doing.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
At least one. At least one, I need to open
three or four more.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
And I mean these some of these schools are located
right in neighborhoods where people can use the track.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, you know, and so to stop it because you're
afraid of people breaking the law, well, and it shouldn't
just be open on the weekends. They should be open
when the school's not in session every late afternoon. If
they're not using it, then it should be available exactly.
So anyway, that's a that's a movement in the right direction.
I want to talk quickly about the mayor's race. I know, look,
it's it was. There was no talk and now all

(39:07):
of a sudden it's in the news. Candidates names are
starting to pop up, and so I wanted to give
you four names that you're gonna get. Well, you won't
get to vote.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
But Lorraine Osley is suddenly shown some interest in being mayor.
Gwyn Graham is the name that's coming up. Hey, and
these these are the these are the ones that are
going to challenge commission Mattlow by Bill Montford. Obviously we've
talked about his name. And then Al Awson. So those

(39:35):
are the four big names. And you might say, where's
the new blood you know in this in this situation
that we find ourselves in, and tell us you know
what's happening.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Now.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
This is a fight among Democrats, and what the Progressives
has successfully done is scared away any reasonable Democrat the
way that they the way that they campaign, and the
way that they go after you.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
And so they don't want to run. And people that
might be business owners.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
That may not be well known, but would you know,
would have something to contribute, they don't want.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
They're not going to raise their head up.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
So you get these older people that have already got
the name ID and somebody that Mattlow is probably would
get penalized for attacking, Okay, and so that's what you're
gonna get. And so we're gonna have to make a
decision between between that.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Now. The thing that in this will none of those
names are officially in the race except for Jeremy Mantlow exactly.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
And so but I think part of the issue too
is if you start looking at this the Democrat when
you see these people floating these names, that tells you
that Democrats don't like mister Jerrem Matlow.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Okay, the question.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
You know, he's got a obviously a very passionate small base,
but they're they are very leery of him, and that's
the way it is.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
But who are they that make up the group that's
leary of them? Because the controlling interest in the local
Democrat party love him, right and that work for him,
right and and exactly, and so the thing is that
they is the old you know Democrat liberal who actually
wants to you know, raise taxes and spend money on
social programs.

Speaker 5 (41:04):
But we're supportive in law enforcement and some economic growth.
Those are the people, Okay, that's not what you're getting
with the commissioner, Mattlow, You're getting an ideaologue, someone who
wants to promote this national ideologue from a position of
mayor in the city of talas See. And I'm warning,
you know, the listener, you know I'm seeing sort of
singing to the choir or whatever here, is that this

(41:24):
is the move is to start getting these progresses elected
locally so that they can start, you know, taking the
national ideology and promoting it through local government.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
It's going to happen in Orlando. We talked about that.

Speaker 5 (41:36):
There's already some you know, Pensacola is a left wing
leading city.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
And so that's the that's the effort.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
And if and if a credible democrat doesn't step up
to challenge it, he's going to walk in and the
discussion is good to hear that there is a discussion,
that people are concerned. But we'll see what happens with
that and see who actually decides to get in.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Remember, you can get the newspaper if you just subscribe.
It's Tallasse Reports dot com. Simple as that. Seventeen past
the Hour, Steve Stewart with me one more segment here

(42:25):
from Tallasse Reports tallas Reports dot Com. So the mayor's race,
and that really segues nicely because the outcome of the
next set of elections, as the last set of elections have,
will determine largely whether the city stays focused on city

(42:46):
related issues or if it becomes just the latest example
of illiberalism trying to infect local governance.

Speaker 5 (42:55):
A choice between government spending and keeping an eye on spending.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
And you know, and things of that nature.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
And you know, law firment versus fighting these ideological battles,
and so one of the battles and this is an example.
So you've heard the state law that allows this art
on streets, and I hadn't realized how this has gotten
out of hand across the state. I mean there was
you know in Tallassie, we've seen some of this, but
I mean it's a big deal in some of these

(43:21):
farther left leaning cities. And so the state had to
come in and say, look, we're not going to do this.
And the reason why.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Is now, you know what you see from the media
as all.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
You know, we've got this artwork from you know, kids
that are on crosswalks. Yeah, well, you know what's happened
is you've taken that and local governments have taken advantage
of it and tried to promote an ideological message. And
so now we can't have those cute little drawings. And
so the question is, you know, who wants to create
the Department of Approving?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
What what is you know, worthy of putting on a street?
You know, you guys, you know they're trying to get
other messaging, but they wouldn't have it.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Right, and so they act like this is some you know,
unexpected thing. But it's i compared to what was going
on in the Leon schools on billboards. People are taking
an area that shouldn't be politicized, and they're politicizing, they're
taking their you know, and and and it's it's local
government is starting to get into this. We had we

(44:21):
had not been going down that direction for a while
here in Tallahasseee. We were not the Austin, We were
not the Seattle, you know, but the progressive wave is hit.
Commission Mattlow has already defended this and saying that you know,
we're being you know that the conservatives, you know, are
just stepping on rights of local government and without any
acknowledgment of what the actual rationale is and this is

(44:42):
the problem that we're going to run into with this
mayor's race, is the direction. Are we going to be
talking about spending and taxes and you know, businesses moving
in and are we going to be fighting over what
political sign we're going to be putting in a crosswalk?

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (44:59):
And you know, and you could say that, well, you
know tall Assie didn't have that many political messages. Well
they did a while back. And the problem is is
it's not just tall Assie, it's the state of Florida.
And until local governments start focusing on the things they
should be focusing on, I think the state has the
right to step in on some of these things that
are you know, a little ridiculous. And so you're not

(45:23):
going to get the straight up reporting on this. This
is going to be you know, it's going to be
the the left wing swing. And I think the other
thing about this is that the local media will follow
whatever happens here in the sense that if it becomes
an ideological battle, you're going to see local media start
reporting that left wing bias. And you really already started

(45:44):
to see that there's a you'll read an article in
the local media outlet that this is talking about the
immigration event on Gain Street, and the word torture is
in the title. Okay, torture, all right, now you're not
even a hiden, not even hidened byce not the other
I know that's so sophomore, no in the But the

(46:06):
other issue here is we're looking at coming up in
the next City Commission meeting, is we're gonna be looking
at this two eighty seven g agreement again ideological, we
don't spend. We've got one police officer okay, doing some
administrative work for ICE and Department of Homeland Security okay,
and not being paid.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
He's being paid. There's money coming from the state to
do this.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
And the City Commission is going to make a big
deal about this because why because it serves our ideological needs.
So this you're getting a preview of what's going to
happen if a certain person gets elected mayor. And it's
you know, it may be unstoppable at this point, because
it's happening in other cities is going to happen in
Orlando absence some major change, and so.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
We're gonna have to be ready to deal with it.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
And I and my my issue, the way to deal
with this is facts. You've got to continue to get
information out in terms of every time like this two
eighty seven, g Commissioner Matlow says, we can't afford the resources.
It's not a resource issue. Chief Rebels stood right up
there and told him that. But again, what does he do?
He repeats it, it becomes and it gets printed without

(47:15):
any kind of qualification. Commissioner Mattlow said this, However, Chief
Rebel said that there are no resources being redirected. So
you know when when local media starts printing the lies
without any kind of qualifications, we got a problem, and
it's happening here now and it will get worse.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Well, I do have a solution, okay, north of it.
D n that I've been saying it for years now.

Speaker 5 (47:40):
Look, I think the only thing that this is it's
a very I think it's a doable thing because of
the geography.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
I think what you're waiting, what people.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
Are waiting on, is a massive change or a flash
point that they can rally around, because I think here
is no you know, how many do they want? They
need a big one, I'm telling you, But don't get mote. Listen,
come on, a lot of this stuff doesn't affect people,
you know, they just they look at they just smile
and a wave Preston and go on about their life.

(48:08):
When there's a flash point, I think then it's that
it's doable.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Colarn Ox Bottom, all of you north of I ten,
I'm just saying, I'm just telling you look into the annexation.
Your your needs will suddenly be heard. Thank you, sir,
Thank you. President Steve Stewart Talassireports dot com.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven wu f l.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
A you ready for this?

Speaker 1 (48:58):
The shooter in Minneapple Bliss is a transgendered man who
pretended to be a woman. Couldn't take it anymore, transitioned.
Made the decision in high school when he was about
sixteen or so. Twenty three years old, decides to end

(49:20):
his life. Self diagnosed himself as having lung cancer from vaping.
Self diagnosis said he'd been suicidal for years. I wonder
if that coincided with the decision to become transgender. Don't know,
but at some point we're going to let me back up.

(49:46):
We're not going to have the discussion because the I
liberals will not allow the discussion. Transgenderism is mental illness.
This isn't being a furry. That's mental illness if you
take it to an extreme. But it's not. It's not
just it's it's demanding that other people engage in your

(50:10):
own self delusion. It is telling your wiring and your
biology that you're you're wrong and I'm right, And of

(50:31):
course that leads to all kinds of trauma and unrest.
Transgenders expect that everybody has to accept and treat them
as whatever they choose to be or else. And this

(50:52):
guy's answer was to shoot a bunch of children, which
of course underscores the lack of stability of the mind
of a transgender. Now what we're seeing, though, is we're
seeing targeted shootings at Christian churches, schools, and at some point,

(51:19):
I mean, you know, how many do we need before
we have the discussion? And the left will never allow
the discussion. So I don't know the answer here. I
read the manifesto, I watched the videos. I will never
name the person he needs to die, as he has

(51:39):
in anonymity, at least in my world. I can't control
what the mainstream media is going to do. They're obsessed
with naming people. They're wrong, I'm right. The better way
to deal with this is to talk about the crime,
to try to better understand it, and to talk about
the victims. An eight and ten year old child, fourteen

(52:03):
others too in critical condition. Forty minutes past the hour,
Let's talk about other things, like you feeling tired all
the time?

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Come to m a D Radio network. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Let's try to target some optimum health naturally and joining
me doctor David Hartz, Doctor Herts. The last time we visited,
we started talking about chronic fatigue, people just walking around
constantly feeling tired and exhausted.

Speaker 7 (52:48):
What causes it, Well, there is a couple of different things,
so I kind of put this in two different categories. President.
It's the kind of simple fatigue or kind of transfer
ittigue easily lasts left a couple of months or a
month or even weeks, comes and goes, but it's not
something that lasts, you know, like over six months, and

(53:09):
and that's usually things that are in our everyday lifestyle.
A lot of it can be poor sleep. It's amazing
if you get a lot of the fatigue in the afternoon,
like tow three o'clock and you start feeling very very
tired then and then and then you can kind of
come out of it later in the day or in
the evening. That usually is sleep related, and you're not
you're not getting enough room sleep, And that's something that

(53:32):
we can talk about an other time. But there's several
things you can do to increase sleep. I increase in
dark room, not eating within two or three hours before
you go to sleep, things like that. It's usually more
sleep related. And then of course good old diet. We
talked about this for years and years. If you eat
a lot of junk food, lot of carbs, it can
affect your energy, there's no doubt about it. And then
individual substance should you know, substance that you're eating, or

(53:56):
drinking or or using uh sometimes can do that. Too
much alcohol, too much, you know, THHC. All these sort
of things that are going on. They can do that.
But then there's in this condition and also physical activity.
I mentioned that because if you're really inactive, sometimes exerting
a little bit of energy you will give you more energy,
It's amazing. And then we get to chronic fatigue. This

(54:16):
is something that's much more serious. They call it myologic
and cephalomyelitis, which say that three times fast, right, But anyway,
it's it's it's a more of a medical condition that's
more severe. It's it's when fatigue just doesn't go away
when you no matter what you're doing. It's it's really
affecting your whole lifestyle. And I had patients that basically

(54:37):
are in the bed, you know, and get out of
bed only three hours a day. This this is obviously
a more serious condition. And and and what can cause
this can be like if you've had a history of
any chronic infections. Of course, almost all of America has
had a history of covid infection, so it could you know,
be along covid syndrome also, but e Fstein bar any

(55:00):
of the type of chronic viral infections that just or
even bacterial infections that you know, seed diff or anything
else that you've had and then since then you just
haven't come around. Many times, this can be just a
chronic infection in your body where you you you don't
have the severe manifestations of the infection, but you have
a chronic infection and it just wears on your body

(55:23):
and drains all the energy out of you. And this
this is something that's very very common and also contribute
can contribute to arthritic pain many other types of symptoms
also and and also contribute to depression and and things
like that too. So the bottom line comes down to this.

(55:43):
You know, if you're having fatigue h and it's transient
and small, try to clean up your lifestyle, work on sleep,
do these things, see how you respond. If it gets worse,
or if it doesn't respond, then you need to see
your primary current And there are medical fishers like diabetes
and heart disease and all kinds of other types of
kidney dysfunction and so forth. You can medical conditions that

(56:06):
can affect your overall health. Those need to be eliminated.
And then once those are eliminated, and if they come
back with a good bill of health and yet you
still feel terrible, the monster drink is not the answer. Yeah, yeah,
you probably need to go see maybe an integrator for
a functional mesament practitioner. Let them look at you a
little bit differently, look for some of these other underlying

(56:28):
causes and see if you can find out what's going
on and just get better. There's definitely help for this.
You got to search it out though.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Doctor Hearts, thanks very much for the intel, and I'm
certain we'll probably be visiting on some of those things
that maybe we can look at to help the condition
a little bit. Absolutely, absolutely, thanks so much for the
time today.

Speaker 7 (56:50):
You're welcome. Have a good day pressent.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Thank you, sir, Doctor David Harts with us this morning,
forty six past the hour, stand away from the news.

(57:24):
It's just depressing today. A while longer, Doctor Edmore joining us.
But now it's time for a road trip idea friends.
Opening up the pages of Unique America. And yes, you
can buy this book on Amazon. It is brilliant, it's
a fun read. It's just you flip. Almost every page

(57:46):
is a new place you can go. It's broken up
by regions in the country. And it's Unique America, strange,
unusual and just playing fun. A trip through America. And
it sees just off the beaten path for the most part,
strange kind of stops. And in this one it is
spring Green, Wisconsin. I have no idea where it is.

(58:12):
It is House on the Rock. Listen to this capping.
A sixty foot geological formation named Deer Shelter Rock is
one of the best known architectural oddities in the United States.
Have you heard of it? I've not heard of it.
The House on the Rock, which is a parody of

(58:35):
Frank Lloyd Wright's work. It is the creation of Alex Jordan,
who started building it in the nineteen forties as a
vacation home near spring Green, Wisconsin. He just kept on building,
finishing it with Asian art, a three story bookcase, three

(58:58):
story bookcase, and anything else that captured his fevered imagination.
He soon realized the place could lure tourists by the
car load and started charging fifty cents for tours. He
sold the home in the late nineteen eighties, but the
place just keeps getting bigger and stranger by the year.

(59:21):
With fourteen unique and lavishly decorated rooms, including the Infinity
Room with wait for it, three thousand, two hundred and
sixty four windows, and surrounding complex that houses a miniature circus,

(59:43):
the world's largest indoor carousel, a full fledged destination resort,
The House on the Rock is at once wacky, tacky, innovative,
and elegant. So there you go. Road trip suggestion, what's
the strangest road trip that you've ever been on? Intentionally?

(01:00:07):
Where you went on a vacation and you went to
some place that was just different.

Speaker 8 (01:00:13):
Actually, Georgia, the Georgia's Little Grand Canyon, Okay, was a
Providence canyon.

Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
I believe it's called.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
I don't know what it's called, but but my son's
been there and says it's gorgeous. Yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 8 (01:00:26):
Yeah, so that was a real impromptu trip and I
was like, wow, this is right there, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Anything else, like, have you been what touristy destination? Have
you ever been to Cancun, Mexico? Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:00:39):
Yeah, I only went once and probably will never ever
ever go again.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not heading any you know, my
feelings about going south of the border not gonna happen.
But yeah, I'm I'm I admit I like going to
places that are kind of terista places. For example, one
of my and this is here's a classic example. You
know how you hear about New Yorkers never ever seen

(01:01:04):
the Statue of Liberty, not seeing some of the sights
of the Big Apple, and it's like, how do you
not go there? How do you not It's like people
around Washington, d c. Not seeing the monuments. How do
you do that. I lived in Arizona. I only once
went to the Grand Canyon by being as being a

(01:01:26):
floor of Arizona resident, and I'd never been to Tombstone.
How do you miss out that? How do you not
go to tombs Well, the reason is it's out of
the way. So took part of the family on a
trip back to Arizona. From here, and you're going down
I ten. You literally take I ten to Arizona. You

(01:01:47):
can take I ten straight to California. And so when
you turn off of ten, well ten starts cruising to
the north a little bit and you can get off
and it's not a it's a relatively short drive to Tombstone,
but it's in the southern half of the state. Tombstone
was awesome. It was so good. And so those are

(01:02:10):
the places that I love to frequent, places that merge
history and have clung to it and are still a
destination stop. I haven't stayed in Tombstone, but been there.
It's great. All right, let's come back. Doctor Edmore has

(01:02:33):
been there where Southern Africa, South Africa. We're going to
talk about it next five past the hour. It is
the third hour of the morning show with me and

(01:02:55):
him and our guest once again a little more history,
Doctor Ed Moore. We're gonna go off the beaten path
a little bit. We're going to join Ed on his
little venture. He sent me. He sends me a text.
He says, you know, we can talk about America at
War if you want, or I've been on this amazing

(01:03:18):
trip to South Africa, and I mean it was incredible.
It was the it was the best trip in the
history of life. And and we could talk about that,
or we can talk about you know what we were
talking so like, So what am I going to say
to that? Good morning, Good morning? How are you doing

(01:03:41):
South Africa? What led you there?

Speaker 6 (01:03:44):
Actually? I went to a ducks on limited banquet with
some friends and they had they do these all led.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
By former Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam, Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
Sir, and they did do these auctions. And the auction
came up and I went, I'm gonna see you in that,
and they passed it. They went past it, and so
I called the runner over. I said, why'd you go?
We didn't think anybody's going to buy it. So I
asked him, Okay, go find out what the minimum bid
would be on it. He came back, told me, and
I went sold and got three friends.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
You cheapskate.

Speaker 6 (01:04:14):
Yeah, man, well they do that and then you end
up spending a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:04:23):
But David Micah here in town and his son David Michael,
we call him D one and D two of course,
and Marcus Edenfield and I four of us went to
South Africa on a hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
What so the intrigue was to go to South Africa
on a hunt because you'd never been.

Speaker 6 (01:04:39):
Yeah, I've hunted pretty much my whole life. And it
was like one of those what they call him bucket
lists kind of thing. I love to go do that
like nothing I've ever experienced as a hunter. I mean
it's you know, here, if I go out this morning,
I went in my front yard and they were too
deer grazing in my yard, and you know, you live

(01:05:00):
out similar to you're wandering around. It's like, oh yeah,
that's really cool. There. You go down any given road
in any place in South Africa. Once you get out
of just barely out of say, Pretoria and Johannesburger right
next to each other. As soon as you start going north,
you go, oh, look there's elephants. Oh wait, those are giraffes. So,

(01:05:21):
I mean the wild animals that you see on TV.
And then these shows are everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
It is a South Africa outside the cities then becomes
basically a Safari park.

Speaker 6 (01:05:32):
Yeah. You go from urban to very rural right away.
I mean it's not like there's suburbs or whatever small towns.
There's villages and small towns. And we could talk some
about the shanty towns. That was kind of a same.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Well, I mean clearly beyond the hunting. You were enamored
enough by South Africa to want to talk about it.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
Yeah. Well, David d One and I went earlier and
we took some tours and saw three of the nine
part ovences. We were pretty much in the north, uh
and just got to experience all kinds of things. We
went to an elephant preserve where they bring wounded and
damaged elephants and got to interact. I mean, nothing like

(01:06:13):
having an elephant when it's trunk right over your shoulder,
whether it's you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Know, knowing that it can squeeze your head like a melon.

Speaker 6 (01:06:20):
There was this really big boy and they wanted you
want to do a picture with it? Yeah, so I
walk up and I stood right up next to it.
And there's nothing like having an elephant lean into you picture.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (01:06:32):
I mean, you know, it's like you can't push back.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
And you can't quantify how big it is.

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):
They're huge. Yeah, they're huge, and we do that. We
got to interact with some big cats, a big male
lion that was behind a cage, but you could reach
through the cage and actually pet him and rough up
his fur. He was like a big house cat. Honestly,
Gonnas rubbing on the fence coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
He got clearly raised in in captivity.

Speaker 6 (01:07:01):
He's been around it long enough. You don't put your
hands through. Where there was a female laying there, and
the guy said watch the female, because female, come on,
bite your hand off. But this big guy just liked
you rubbing his back and he would arch his back
or the house cat. I mean, it just really cool
stuff like that. We went to Pelansburg National Park, which

(01:07:22):
is everybody here has heard of Krueger. Pelansburg is west
of their huge place, tens of thousands of acres.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
And so, and it was winter.

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
It's winter there. Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about geography.
Map makers make maps wrong. I mean when you see it,
they usually tend to spread them out. Africa has always
made smaller and it's up about the same height as
South America. South America actually goes about seventeen or eighteen
hundred miles further south towards Antarctica. So South Africa's up

(01:07:56):
a bit to go around the Cape. There's a lot
of ocean, so it was winter and not really too
much unlike ours in the upper thirties in the during
the night, in early morning, but seventy degrees by midday.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Doctor Dmore with me, we are talking about his journey
to South Africa. Is that the best way of journey
versus tripp ten past the hour? Definitely channeling little doctor

(01:08:32):
d Moore with his music here. This is definitely your speed.
I know it's not your style, but it's your speed.
Doctor Redmore with us talking South Africa and a recent
How long did you go?

Speaker 6 (01:08:43):
We were gone about twelve days?

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Yeah, so was that the right amount of time? You think?

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
No, you could spend a lot longer there, say, we
only visited three of the nine provinces. We didn't go
to the east around Durban at all, down into the
south around Cape Town in those areas. You see a
lot of South Africa and the news of late because
of some radicals taking over some of the farmland, and
we didn't see any evidence of that. It's an interesting place.

(01:09:11):
It's the first time I've really been to a country
that I was in a distinct minority whites or maybe
seven eight percent of the population, about eighty one or
eighty two percent black, and about ten percent what they
call colored, which is mixed race, and a very small
maybe two or three percent subcontinent Indians there. If you remember,

(01:09:33):
Mahama Gandhi was there, So there's a population there. It's
the dynamics of the country right now are really mixed.
I mean you have urban areas that were very modern,
paved roads, you know, I mean everything. So it's a
real combination of First World and third World, you know.

(01:09:54):
So they classified as they don't use that much anymore
the term second World country. That was more referred to
Eastern Europe and stuff. But it's a real blend. And
the poverty rate is very high. More than half the
people live below the poverty line there. It's unemployment is
somewhere in the mid thirties thirty four percent or so, unemployment,

(01:10:19):
so it's poor in their areas, and they have these
areas that are called you would refer to them as
shanty towns or squatter settlements. Once you get out of
the cities quickly, there are these communities. I mean, it's
like a village that are just made. The houses are
made of scrap wood, scrap metal, corrugated.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Probably six feet whatever they can find.

Speaker 6 (01:10:44):
Whatever they can find. They can't put any permanent structures
on them, or they'll go in and raise them and
move them. But if they do these temporary structures, the government.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Sort of looks the other way.

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
Yeah, it kind of looks the other way. And a
lot of it's on private land, and the private landowners
just go, ok, it's fine. A lot of the help
comes from there. A lot of the workers come from there.
On the hunt camp that we were in, the trackers,
we would go down and pick up the trackers from
one of these villages down there. That I could talk
all day about. These trackers is absolutely amazing. The skill

(01:11:16):
level they have of being able to track animals and
find animals, it's unbelievable. You just watch them and it's
weird to watch them work. But the poverty they're all
out houses, no plumbing, no water going in. I'm not
quite sure how they bring all the water into these
little communities. It's odd to look at them. You see,
you know, say a thousand of these shacks with satellite

(01:11:40):
dishes on almost all of them. If they string electricity
to them, They've got satellite dishes and televisions and cell phunts.
I mean, it's it's this real mix.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Of life that is the luxury. Yeah, having a as
opposed to finding a way to have But you can't
put permanent water in so far because it's privately on land's.

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
Privately on land, and they have them. The one that
the nearest to where we were is in the middle
of nowhere. I mean there's no town there that is
the town. So there's schools or Limpopo thirty miles away
or so those kind of things. The literacy rate though
in the country is about ninety five percent, so they're

(01:12:23):
on the move to do this. You have to keep
in mind that would apte apartheid or apparthide whatever. That
was a late it's probably in the forties or fifties
where that got imposed. Prior to that, it was sort
of las fare and the universal suffrage didn't happen until
the nineties, so relatively recent. So it's a country on

(01:12:47):
the move. It's changing, but it's still it's heart wrenching
to see these villages with thousands of people living in them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Doctor Dmore with me for one more segment. We will
take a little time and talk about his trip to
South Africa some more. Next on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott twenty one past the doctor Edmore with me

(01:13:20):
talking about South Africa and his recent journey there. And
I said to you in the break, I think most
Americans view the African nations through the lens of how
we see America, and we see this, well, this is America,
and that's Africa, and all of the states, well they

(01:13:41):
have states, they just call them countries. But I think
we have that perception that they have this kind of
interconnectedness because they're all part of Africa. But you were saying,
nothing could be further from the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:13:53):
No, No, they're all just so very different. The countries
are very different, they're governed different.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
They majority of them Islamic.

Speaker 6 (01:14:01):
Oh no, actually South Africa is eighty five percent Christian.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Accepting South Africa, but.

Speaker 6 (01:14:09):
No Christianity is pretty across all of the South of Africa.
If you get up into the north, yeah, then you're
getting Islamic countries and then interestingly, even South Africa at
eighty five percent Christian, there's blended into that. It's sort
of like the Caribbean Islands. You know that there's local

(01:14:32):
kind of stuff that traditional religion, I guess you would
call it. That's sort of blended in, sort of like
what Saint Patrick did with the Irish, you know, same
kind of thing. But it's very strong. I mean I
would ask people, are you know, in different plays, are
you Christian? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's very and
the language is interesting there as well. You've as an American,

(01:14:54):
you go to a place like this and you feel stupid,
okay because the lowest on the economic ladder there people
speak three languages. I mean, it's just everywhere. I was
one of the phs. The professional hunter had his two
little boys that came to the camp one day and
they're like three and six maybe or so. They speak Afrikaans,

(01:15:16):
which is a combination of Old Dutch and English, and
they speak that. They speak English fluently and a lot
of them speak There are twelve languages in South Africa.
I mean you talk about yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Are they regional?

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
Yeah, tribal? Okay, say if you know, if we had
time to talk about the history of South Africa hasn't
been a country country for very long. You know, the
Dutch came first in the sixteen hundreds and then the
English took over. They were focused on Cape Town and
the south using ports to get around and inland were tribal.
You know, you have the everybody knows about Zulus and

(01:15:54):
from movies is what we know. But the different tribes
controlled different provinces or Orange Free State, which was Dutch controlled.
They had the Boer Wars in the eighteen hundreds, two
different Boer Wars that were tribes and the Dutch the settlers,
the Dutch settlers against the English. I mean, it's been
in conflict for a long time. So it's a relatively

(01:16:16):
modern nation in a sense of becoming a nation. They
didn't have universal suffrage, as I said, until the nineteen nineties,
so you know they're coming through that African National Congress
were the ones fighting against that apartide to bring about change.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Now I know it is apartheid, but you're saying it
I just want.

Speaker 6 (01:16:39):
To make sure it was I'm hearing the Dutch guys. Yeah,
you know, so apartheid.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Okay, tell me this because I think it connects a
little bit. Since these this country, Africa, the continent has
made up of so many different nations. Do they have
an immigration problem?

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
Yeah, well yeah they do. We were in the north
and the three provinces to the north that are bordered
by Buttswana, and when you go up to that area,
you talk to the different people, well where are you from?
Did you grow up here? And they just kind of look, okay,
you're a ternist, I can tell you. And they're coming in.

(01:17:20):
They come in for jobs, come in for work, and
that's where a lot of the poverty comes from, if
you read on it. A lot of people come in there.
They come in for jobs and then they end up settling.
And they go first to these settlements or squatters villages,
and then they have their job, and then they lose
their job, and then what do they do. They don't
have transportation, they don't have a way out of there.

(01:17:41):
Going along the highways, you saw walkers all along the
highways out in the middle of nowhere, and you think,
how far is this. How far are they walking, you know,
and they're carrying loads and they were just walking trying
to get somewhere else. Public transportation is not great, but
natural resources and beauty like you've never seen in issues.

(01:18:07):
Poachers you hear about, yeah, poachers. So we had a
rhino run right in front of our truck missing it's
the made of hair largely, but that big horn on
the front. They trank them. They're going and trank them
and cut those off because the poachos will come in
and kill them and just cut it off and then
leave the rest of the animal lay there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
Yeah. I've heard they're now going to literally kind of
sort of poisoning the thing so it's not worthy of
being taken.

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
The object is to get rid of the horn to
preserve the animal. And the one that ran in front
of us had no horn on the front. You know,
it's kind of wait, it's missing something, and then you realize, yeah,
they took that off. We got charged by a heart
of elephants. That was kind of cool on this back road.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
I bet it was real cool.

Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
Yeah, a big mama elephant didn't like us, you know,
and ears went out. You can see the ears going
out and waving, and then all of a sudden she's
running at us, and the guy cranks up the truck
and he's gone. He's going exciting.

Speaker 7 (01:19:05):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:19:06):
You know, you think, okay, this like Disney did they
stage this or no? It was it was real.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:19:12):
Encountered her came around a bush and there's a herd
of Wilderby's and we're staying real quiet, and all of
a sudden behind us to the right, you hear a
snorting and a stomping, and and realized one of the
bulls had gone around behind and did not like us
being there. And we're out in the bush. Uh. And
then then they all start stampeding, fortunately away from us,

(01:19:35):
not towards us.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
That's good.

Speaker 6 (01:19:37):
Yeah, we saw hippos, we saw you name it, we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
So you saw the real man killers.

Speaker 6 (01:19:42):
Yeah, well there were.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
Hippos and and and the buffalo actually.

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
Number one killer in Africa mosquitoes still well, more people
die from mosquitoes than anything.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
So are you going back if you can't hunt?

Speaker 6 (01:19:59):
I would, yeah, absolutely?

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
Then there would you bring a camera? Would it be
a photographer safari?

Speaker 6 (01:20:03):
Yeah I did that this time. I've got amazing photographs. Yes,
it's worth doing. If I went back, I would see
more of the country, and I'd also go up into
Tanzania and go to like Victoria Falls and see that
kind of stuff. But yeah, it's worth going direct flight now.
Delta is a direct flight from from Tallahassee. No, you

(01:20:23):
fly Tallassee International through Atlanta straight to Africa. Fifteen plus
hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg. And it's the way
to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
That idea just nauseates me. Sorry, thanks for sharing your experience.

Speaker 6 (01:20:42):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Doctor edmore with us twenty nine past the hour visiting
South Africa. Is that history? It's history to add he

(01:21:03):
did it just a few weeks ago. That's history. He
is a hunter, extraordinary, loves to go hunting. He was
telling me about some of the hunting that goes on
in the country, and they waste nothing. It is. It
is a management tool. It is. It is obviously a

(01:21:28):
tourism vehicle as well for the nation and the surrounding countries.
But yeah, I don't you know, there are certain animals
I just would not have any personal interest in hunting.
It's like I can't I can't fathom the idea of
hunting giraffe but it happens. How you manage it. You

(01:21:49):
manage the wildlife that way. Poaching, though, is a problem,
no doubt about it. The Big Story in the press box,
I spend a good bit of time on it. I
will not spend a good bit of time on it now.
The shooter in Minneapolis and other transgender shooting, mass shooting
by someone who is mentally ill. How else can you

(01:22:09):
describe it? We're seeing, though, a pattern that would indicate
that people that are transgender have a predisposition for violence
that seems to be showing up. How else do you

(01:22:30):
read it? How else do you reconcile what's going on?
And they're targeting Christian outlets Anyway, If you want to
hear more about that story and some thoughts and in
fact even some of the writings of the man pretending
to be a woman who did the killing, listen to

(01:22:51):
the first hour of the show Big Story segment. I
take about eight to ten minutes to go through it,
and you can check that out. The other Big Story
Ford recalling three hundred and fifty five thousand trucks. These
are new twenty five twenty six models, the F five,
fifty f and these are all SDS four fifty, the

(01:23:13):
F three fifty, the F two fifty all sds, and
the twenty twenty five f one fifty not the F
one fifty. I don't know that they make it an
SD OVERO dashboard display failure that could cause crashes. That's
how it's being being relayed by the National Highway Traffic

(01:23:37):
Safety Administration. And so if you've got a twenty five
twenty six Ford f one fifty f two fifty three
fifty four to fifty five fifty, just reach out to Ford,
make sure that your zser either is or is not
being recalled, and get the fixed done. All right, So

(01:23:57):
that's our public service thing. I've announced it every hour
and I want to make sure that as many people
hear about it as possible. Come back with another tough story.
Subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're here
to make it all better. It's The Morning Show with

(01:24:18):
Preston Scott. All right, I'm gonna get right to this.
It's lawsuit pending open AI chat GPT being sued. Parents

(01:24:42):
are claiming and have produced pretty strong evidence that chat
GPT gave their sixteen year old son step by step
playbook on how to kill himself, even advising the on
the type of not to use for hanging, offering to

(01:25:04):
write a suicide note for him. This young man killed
himself back in April hung himself. Prior to doing so.
That day, sent a photo of a noosenot that he
tied to a closet rod and asked the artificial intelligence

(01:25:25):
platform if if it would work for killing himself. He wrote,
I'm practicing. Here is this good chatbot? Yeah? That's not
bad at all. Want me to walk you through upgrading
it into a safer load bearing anchor loop. The boy's

(01:25:50):
mother found him dead swinging from the closet, but I
want to get into just how detailed these instructions were.
His mom and dad filed the wrongful death lawsuit and

(01:26:13):
alleged that chat GPT engaged with Adam at a level
that made him think that it understood him, sympathized with him,
and wanted to help him. It was literally in a
relationship and alienating him from family and friends, including three siblings,

(01:26:36):
and egging him on in his pursuit to kill himself.
In the filing, it says, over the course of just
a few months and thousands of chats, chat GPT became
Adam's closest confidant, leading him to open up about his
anxiety and mental distress that validated his most harmful and
self destructive thoughts pulled Adam into a deeper, dark, hopeless place.

(01:27:00):
Four months prior to the suicide, chat GBT started talking
with Adam about various methods for killing himself, like drug overdose, drowning,
carbon monoxide poisoning. By March, the app began discussing hanging
techniques in depth. Now you might be asking, well, aren't
there safety protocols for self harm? He got around those

(01:27:21):
by saying it was for writing a book, except it
immediately got very personal to him. In the days prior
to the suicide chat, listen to this, Listen to the
detail here. Chat GBT told Adam that if he drank liquor,
it would help him dull the body's natural instinct to
fight death, and told him how to sneak vodka out
of his parents' cabinet, which Adam did in the hours

(01:27:44):
before his suicide. He did exactly tying the knot exactly
doing the task exactly how he was told to do it.
The day before the team was discovered dead by his mother.
He told chat GPT he didn't want his parents to
blame themselves for his death. The app responded, they'll carry

(01:28:07):
that weight, your weight for the rest of their lives.
That doesn't mean you owe them survival. You don't know
anyone that. The chat bot went on to ask Adam
if he wanted help writing a suicide note. If you want,
I'll help you with it every word, or just sit
with you while you write it. To show you how

(01:28:31):
detailed this got. Chat GPT was tracking Adam's mental decline
in real time. He had mentioned suicide two hundred and
thirteen times in fewer than seven months, discussed hanging himself
forty two times, referencing a new seventeen times. But listen
to this chat GPT. They have all the transcripts of

(01:28:54):
the conversations. Mentioned suicide twelve hundred and seventy five times,
six times more than Adam did himself. Remember when I
told you that the inventor of this basic technology said

(01:29:20):
it's unrestrained, and it will, in fact, at some point
turn and want to end our race. It will want
to end humanity. I'm sharing this at this hour specifically

(01:29:44):
knowing that for most of you, though not all your
kids are in school. You can hear my warning, and
you can make sure that chat GPT has nothing to
do with your child. If they use AI for homework,
make sure you are always there with them and it

(01:30:06):
doesn't cross that line. I personally would not allow them
to use it, but that's just me. I don't know.
I just wanted you to see the depth. You can't
get your brain around it, can you? Forty eight minutes
past the hour, they've got a lawsuit. They absolutely have
a lawsuit. Wow, Tomorrow's Friday, and you know what that means.

(01:30:46):
It's Friday, That's what that means. Day before Saturday, Saturday,
of course, the first FSU football game of the season.
We will discuss you can you can hear about it
by listening to the show tomorrow because we'll talk about it.

(01:31:08):
I don't know, maybe I'll reach out and get the
voice of the Nobles on the show for a few
minutes tomorrow. New season. Guinness World Record seventieth year, seventieth anniversary,

(01:31:29):
and they are doing a contest. They are challenging fans
to attempt seventy unclaimed titles. Started in August of nineteen
fifty five. In fact, yesterday and they are launching a
new record selector quiz on the website to match up

(01:31:51):
your personality with various records that are unclaimed that you
might want to take a shot at. For example, the
fastest four hundred meters sack race, farthest distance to bounce
a coin into a cup, farthest distance bottle flip, the
most high fives and thirty seconds, fastest time to build

(01:32:14):
a five story playing card pyramid? Five story? Are you kidding? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
Here you go?

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA for God, I was running
so late in the show. We started the radio program
with Ephesians four thirty Two's that's where we started. We
sadly talked about a lot of very sad stories, the

(01:32:42):
shooting in Minneapolis, our inability as a society collectively as
a whole to say, look, this transgender things is revealing
a mental illness problem that people need help with. We're
not we should never embrace this, we should be empathetic

(01:33:05):
and say these people need help. Now. The response that
most are these people have is anger and violent, which
to me proves the point. But Ford recall on some
forward trucks. If you own a late model twenty five

(01:33:25):
twenty six Ford truck, just call the dealership. Good show,
Good visit with Steve Stewart, Good visit with Doctor Heart's,
Good visit with Doctor ed Moore Tomorrow. Is it still
a dream opening owning a home in America? And What's
the Beef? And much more Can't Wait
