Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, good morning, good morning, good morning. How are you cubbies.
Great to be with you. It is September the tenth
show fifty four forty nine of The Morning Show with
Preston Scott at Jose. I'm Preston. We'll get to this

(00:21):
date of history and just a little bit busy day today.
We'll explain the show in a little while, but first,
as we like to do, we're going to get into
a little bit of scripture. I think it's important to
start your day. I look, I get it. Some people.
I just like to I like to pray and meditate
on the Word before I go to bed. Cool, awesome,

(00:43):
just do it, Just spend time. I like the beginning
of the day. It's not to say that's the only
time that I'll spend some time with God's Word, but
I like the beginning of the day because I think
the determination to say I am I'm going to give
God some time as I start my day, because I

(01:04):
have the day to start, you know, waking up. I
joke about it in the sense that hey, when you age,
my goals are three things. Wake up, set up, stand up.
If I get those three things down, I'm gonna have
a good day because I'm alive, and when I drive
down my driveway, it's Lord, thank you for another day.

(01:27):
I'm grateful. I'm just incredibly grateful. I took my son
to where his car was repaired at the dealership yesterday,
and I just reflected on the fact that, you know,
my dad passed away when I was thirty eight years old,

(01:48):
actually thirty seven, and I just I said, these are
incredibly cool years that we get to just be together
and just to you know, have a lunch here or there,
to go do anything, or to just watch a game
or whatever it is, because man, I was not living

(02:11):
in and around my dad, and you know, my dad's
health was really kind of weak for you know, the
latter fifteen years of his life, and so this is
just it's bonus time. But starting with scripture is I
think so useful and I think it's really useful for

(02:32):
you to instill that in your children. And that's really
the point of this segment. We have been talking about Acts.
Chapter one, Jesus appears to this large group and then
is taken up into heaven. And this is days after,

(02:56):
I mean weeks after his resurrection. So Jesus is kind
of palain around and people are seeing him, aren't you.
And we get to verse thirteen, and it talked about
their return to Jerusalem from the mount called Olive near Jerusalem,

(03:22):
Sabbath Day's journey away. When they had entered, they went
to the upper room where they were staying. Peter and
John and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew,
James son of Alpheus, and Simon the Zealot, Judas the
son of James, not that Judas, the other Jews. All

(03:43):
these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer together
with the women and marry the mother of Jesus and
his brothers. I want to focus on verse fourteen. And
these with one accord were devoting themselves to pray. This

(04:03):
is a group of guys and women people that if
you remember the night Jesus was betrayed, Jesus said, hey, guys,
can you pray for me? What happened? They were sleeping,

(04:24):
They couldn't pray for an hour. What you find is
after Jesus appeared on the night of the Resurrection and
he breathed the Holy Spirit into them, suddenly they are
praying fools. They could pray and pray and pray, and

(04:47):
that speaks to the difference that the in dwelling Holy
Spirit when you become a Christian, can make in your life.
This is a transformational verse that shows demonstrates the power
of the Holy Spirit in you. Remember there's there's the
indwelling Holy Spirit and there's the outboard, same Holy Spirit,

(05:10):
two different works. Ten past the hour. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
On News Radio one hundred point seven double UFLA.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
It is the tenth of September. Do you remember, let's
see here sixteen oh eight in Virginia, John Smith as
elected president of the Jamestown Council sixteen oh eight. And
we know that sixteen oh eight, and we have a

(05:48):
record that's crazy. I'm not sure what I did last Tuesday.
You know. Seventeen ninety four the US's first non denominational college,
Blunt College in Knoxville. Now the University of Tennessee is

(06:11):
chartered Blunt College. Man. Yeah, and I've never now, I've
never done that. I just know the terminology. Eighteen thirteen,
following the Battle of Lake Erie, Oliver hazard Perry sends

(06:33):
the message, we have met the enemy and they are ours.
Oh yeah, there you go. Eighteen forty six, Elias Howe
of Spencer, Massachusetts patents a hand cranked sewing machine. You

(06:55):
can just what a day man. September tenth, thirteen, the
Lincoln Highway, the first coast to coast paid US highway
stretching from New York City to San Francisco opens. It
is now called Interstate eighty. Isn't that interesting? And it

(07:15):
was on this date In nineteen fifty five, the TV
show gun Smoke premiered on CBS, beginning a twenty year
run Gun Smoke. Matt Dylon, Oh yeah, I never watched it,

(07:35):
never did I was not interested. How silly of me,
How utterly silly of me. Today is National Swap Ideas Day, okay,
but this is it National TV dinner Day. A lot

(08:02):
of you don't remember because you weren't alive with the
advent of TV dinners, called TV dinners because the television.
It's like, do you remember the scene from Back to
the Future where Marty his dad. It turns out his

(08:24):
dad is a peeping tom and falls out of a tree,
and Marty saves his dad by pushing him out of
the way of a car that was going to hit him,
and so next thing you know, he finds himself in
what would be his mother's I mean, if you've seen

(08:46):
the movie, you're following right along. If you haven't, you're like,
you're an idiot. I get it. It's all right. Back
to the Future is a brilliantly funny and an entertaining movie,
especially part one and two. But one is just the bomb.
It just is. Anyway, they roll the TV out and

(09:08):
they're like, oh, look it is. It's the TV. It
and it. It was crazy because that's what TV was
like when it came out. I remember the first color
TV we had. I remember the first TV with a
remote that we had. You click the button and it
and it pinged a little a bar that was sort

(09:31):
of like uh chimes, and it would it would ping
at a certain tone, and that tone would cause the
channel to go up or down or the volume to
go up or down. You'd you'd click and it would
go pick pig and that and those different tones were
picked up and that's how it changed. So TV dinners

(09:58):
were this iconic celebration of a television being watched as
everyone was around the dinner table, and TV dinners could
be brought into the you know, you'd have these things.
They'd be cooked in the oven. Microwaves. What a micro
what no one did microwaves? You pop these bad boys

(10:19):
in the oven and you'd have salisbury steak with a
little side of green beans or corn or something like that.
And boy, come on, now they're just microwavemobiles. And there's
and there are specialty ovens and things. You put the
little code and it reads a QR code and it
immediately pops the right temperature up and it you know,

(10:41):
and it's it's insane. But it started as TV dinners.
Swanson's was one of the big ones, Swanson TV Dinners,
And you'd peel back the foil on certain things. You
get a little brownie if you wanted to. You'd have
a little brownie in mixed with it mashed potatoes, corn,

(11:02):
salisbury steak and brownie in the middle. Come on, come on,
And some of you right now are going, oh my gosh,
I haven't thought about that in fifty years. And now
you're like, oh, yeah, that was. You want to go
buy a TV dinner, like a real one, not one
of these, a real one. Seventeen minutes. I sorry, but

(11:24):
that's if you're new to the radio program, this is
what you get. Piece written by Joel Abbott on not

(11:45):
the be Opinion. Regular guys are starting to starting to
notice it's either Christ or chaos. Get in here your
white pill of the day. And he writes about an
interaction with a guy online that I don't know who

(12:09):
he is. Maybe some of you know who he is.
Matt van swall swol and Joel Abbot posts he's got
screenshots of these posts. Honestly, the strongest case for Christianity
is that a world without it is absolutely terrifying. And

(12:32):
in his piece, Abbot begins to detail the journey of
this guy. I don't know if this will speak to anyone,
but if you're on the fence about going to church tomorrow,
please go. I stopped going seven years ago. I went
back for the first time in April. Tomorrow will be
my fifth week in a row. There's just something about it.
Just go. He was in the Asheville, North Carolina area

(12:58):
in the wake of the storms, and he watched over
and over and over as Samaritans, purse and Christians mobilized
to help. If you remember the Hurricane Helene when it
went up to the Carolinas that was devastation. Well after

(13:22):
the winds were dying down the rain, it just almost
stopped over the region and just dumped like bucket upon
bucket upon bucket of water. He writes, for what it's worth,
I saw Samaritans purse helping people absolutely everywhere in western
North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. Their kindness, amongst many others,

(13:44):
is why I went back to church after years of
not going. If you're looking to help Texas, look no
further referring to another area in need. This guy's not
versed in systemic theology. He watched people act as Christians.

(14:06):
That's why I keep talking about the importance of what
you do over what you say. Now, what you say
can cancel a lot of what you do. But if
you have to make a choice of acting like a
Christian and memorizing scripture, act like a Christian and inside. Here,

(14:32):
Abbott writes, we do not earn God's favor, as the
world's other religions teach, by doing good deeds and praying
they outweigh the bad. Instead, we put on the goodness
that God has done for us. It is a free
gift offered not only to the righteous, but to the
very worst of people. And he quotes Mark two where

(14:54):
it says I didn't come to call the righteous but sinners.
Theology is important, he writes, not only because we need
to understand who God says he is instead of inventing
little gods we chase after in our own imagination, but
because the Bible teaches that there are spiritual evils that
twist good intentions, even biblical teachings, into monstrosities that lure

(15:17):
people away. I wanted to share this because he's saying
what I've been saying to you for decades. There are
bad teachers of the Bible sitting in pulpits across the country.
There are heretics that are building these massive churches. Well,
they can't be wrong. Look at all of this. I

(15:40):
can take you to Atlanta, and I can lead you
to a church that people fawn over and it's nothing
but heresy. That isn't the mark. Crowds are not the mark.
You've got to dig deeper. But the end of this

(16:02):
column and this piece is stating that as bad as
things are, they will get worse when Christ comes back,
because He's going to judge it all. And then the
Holy Spirit's gonna because Christians are going to be removed

(16:24):
at some point, and when the Holy Spirit withdraws, this
world will have no restraining bolt on it whatsoever. The
restraining bolt on culture today are those of you who
choose to act like a Christian, who choose to act
like an ambassador to Christ. That is what's keeping evil
at bay to whatever extent is being held at bay

(16:46):
right now. So let me go back to where this started.
The strongest case for Christianity is that a world without
it is absolutely terrifying. Twenty eight minutes after the hour,
come back with the big stories in the press box next.

(17:08):
All right, I have to be immensely disciplined here to
get done this half hour what I've got to get
done because I went way long. But when you're talking
about God, yeahil gee, big stories in the press box
Israel targets hamas leadership in Qatar. That's all I got.

(17:44):
President Trump is pushing back against calls for him to
fire Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I see no reason to
fire Robert F. Kennedy Jr. None. He is exceeded my
expect patients. He is talking about addressing the issues that

(18:08):
most of us have had with the FDA, the CDC,
with our whole approach to healthcare. If we come through
all of it and say, you know what, we need
to go back to this, great, just give us reasons
to do it, whatever that is. But I like the

(18:30):
basic idea of how about the how about y'all just
stay out of what we decide to do with our bodies.
You know what I'm saying, Well, you don't say that
about abortion. Well, that's because we have to speak up
for the other body, you know. We like to protect
that other body that's inside. That's why this is remarkable.

(18:54):
Lindsey Hiccocks or Hiccocks, twenty four year old senior Boise
State University, told the United States Supreme Court he is
withdrawing asking his case to be dismissed from the United
States Supreme Court. He's asking the justices to throw out

(19:15):
a ruling from the ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals
that was decided in his favor. You see, he's a
transgender and he wants to no longer pursue the case.
This of course through the ACLU. Do you know why
they're doing this? I am we all need to pray

(19:41):
the US Supreme Court does not dismiss this case. The
ACLU these types of cases when they know they're going
to lose, they withdraw them because they do not want
a precedent set at the highest court that transgenderism is wrong,

(20:03):
that men are men, women are women. We have two genders,
male and female. That's just the bottom line. They don't
want the precedent, so they're pulling the case away. This
has happened before. This is the cowardice of the ACLU
in action. And then media are making such a big

(20:27):
deal out of the special election. Democrat Walkinshaw wins special
congressional election where Trump loomed large. Trump only got thirty
one percent of the vote in this eleventh congressional district
of Virginia. It has been a Democrat district for years.

(20:48):
Oh a democrat one. Oh no, this is an indictment
on the Trump agenda. No, it's a bunch of Dems,
a bunch of flamers. What do you mean is it's nothing?
Forty one minutes after the hour, don't let the media
spin the reality for you.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Sensey of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh yeah, this is brilliant. We've told you about good
at that Dunberg and her mission of mercy to Gaza
and how Israel said, no, you're not, you're not flowing
in there. We're gonna fly you home. And they did.

(21:51):
They just said you're not and they flew her home.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
So she was at it again, Greta Thunbergs flotilla caring
humanitarian and to Gousm because they're being stopped.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
So Greta and her mates are telling everybody that Israel
sent a drone. This is so good, this is so good.
They're claiming that a drone came right above the boat,
released a bomb and exploded and the boat was on fire.

(22:39):
And this is in a port in Tunisia. Everyone on
that boat is okay. They bombed a boat once again
with civilians on it, in Tunisian territory. That's what the
people with Greta are tweeting out. Except it's not true.
The Tunisian government said there was no drone activity whatsoever.

(23:05):
In fact, in fact, new footage from Greta's boat shows
a crew member misfiring a flare which lands back on
the boat and sets it on fire. Another post drones don't.
Drone fires don't have red and purple color flares do.

(23:28):
Drone bombs don't burn before they drop flares do Where
are the fragments from the bomb? Tunisian authorities confirmed there
was zero drone activity in the area. There was never
a drone. These people are lying to try to garner attention.

(23:53):
I merely talk about it to have a laugh and
to point out that I wonder if the parents are
are still proud of Greta or if they're back there
going they're they're illibs, they are extreme weirdohs too. So

(24:18):
she comes about it naturally, and honestly I suppose, but
it's so interesting that that. I mean, clearly the firing
off of the flare should be condemned because of the
added CO two. I would think that flare caused some

(24:39):
you know, climate disruption of some kind. I mean, well,
at the very least, it's burned the boat. So Greta
is once again foiled in her efforts. See this is
this is about sabotaging your own mission to try to
make it seem like Israel's doing something, and Tunisia's tenise

(25:00):
is like, oh no, forty six minutes back past the hour,
getting back on schedule. Here come back. Water was discovered
and you'll never believe where. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. I'm gonna talk with the chairman of Arminstraw

(25:25):
Army Strong Tallahassee in just a few minutes, Billy Holder,
and opportunity for you to kick in and help place
a US Army memorial monument as well as the Battlefield
Cross to be placed at the Tallahassee National Cemetery. And
so we'll find out about it, get a little bit
of a history lesson and show you how you can help.

(25:50):
But that's coming up next hour. Also next hour in
the program, in case you missed it, there was some
information that Justin Haskins shared yesterday, polling that he wrote
for Rasmussen and Rasmussen conducted. Boy, it gives a bleak

(26:10):
outlook for our future, and so we'll share some of
that For those of you that did not hear the
third hour of the program. I mentioned this to you
before the break water nearly drinkable. It's not drinkable, but
it's nearly drinkable. A massive reservoir of water has been discovered.

(26:36):
You will never guess where where do you think, Jose,
where do you think we have found a massive reservoir
of nearly drinkable water Arizona? No, you tall, no give up?

(26:57):
I give up under the ocean exactly. That was my reaction.
W yes Side Tech Daily, a team drilled offshore Nantucket
recovered cores with water near drinking quality. How did the
freshened water come to be trapped beneath the New England shelf?

(27:19):
How long has it remained there? What volume does it represent?
We don't have all the answers to that. What we
do know is that the sheer freshness of the water,
which was close to drinking water limits, was a surprise.
According to lead scientist Rebecca Robinson, I didn't think freshened

(27:41):
meant to the level of oceanic salinities. But I also
didn't think it would be so close to what we
get out of our tap water. It's still not drinkable,
but they took a one eighty five foot lift boat
fitted with a compact drilling rate and it extracted fifty

(28:01):
thousand liters of water at multiple subseafloor depths. That's crazy,
it really is. I wonder what else we'll learn that

(28:23):
we thought was settled science in that interesting. There are
so many things about our planet that we think we know.
We think this animal is extinct, and all of a sudden, whoa,
there it is he came back. We're taking the remains

(28:47):
of certain animals, extracting DNA. We're trying to recreate like
a wooly mammoth. I don't know if we're going to
try to create dinosaurs. I man, I hope we don't
do that. Ian Malcolm was correct about that. Oh no, Hey,
they had their shot. They know. Also, this the Phillies Karen,

(29:20):
you know, the Philadelphia Phillies Karen, A company blowout Cards,
is issued a statement they're going to offer five thousand
dollars to the woman for the baseball. But there's a catch,
no pun intended. We want that ball signed and inscribed

(29:41):
by her and only her, whoever she is, to say
I'm sorry, so we can simply give it back to
the kid. Our offer is official, The offer is firm.
The Phillies Karen has not been correctly identified yet. Internet

(30:01):
sleuths have wrongly identified a few people. It's if you
don't know the story, it's all over the internet. It
is all over YouTube and Instagram and probably TikTok. It's everywhere.
This lady went full illiberal female. She is. I guarantee

(30:23):
you she is a card carrying illiberal because only liberals
act that entitled. So now I want to find out
who she is. I really do. She needs to be
shamed because she hasn't done the right thing yet, she
hasn't sent the ball back to the to the family.

(30:46):
We're gonna come back and change cares a little bit.
Second Hour Morning Show with Preston Scott is next. Welcome
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you
this morning. I am I am Presston. He is Jose
and it is our number two. I am pleased to

(31:06):
have with me in studio. A gentleman named Bill Holder.
Billy is chair of Army Strong Tallahassee and you reached
out to me and I was fascinated by what you shared. Billy,
thanks for being on the program.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Army Strong. What is Army Strong Tallahassee.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Well, Army Strong Tallahassee is a group of high school
friends of mine, majority of our veterans. We have one
legal advisor.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
And the other.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
And we have two gentlemen that are part of the
forty and eight group that is the nonprofit that we're
using okay for our finals to go to. And it
started when I saw the Air Force monument at the
National Cemetery in the article. So I went out and
saw it, said there's no army. I said, what's rolling that?

(32:04):
So I started getting hold of some classmates and they said, sure,
jump on it.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
When you say you saw the monument and you did
not see the army monument, describe the monuments that we're
talking about today.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Well, today we're talking about in last Thursday, we just
had approval from the National Cemeteries to start our Army
memorial and that will be a tropical green granite with
a slanted top that we'll say established fourteenth June seventeen

(32:41):
seventy five, and then in the middle of it will
be a US Army seal spot painted from bronze, and
then below that it will say this will defend basically
the Army motto.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
This monument to the United States Army will be located
in the Tallahassee National Cemetery.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
That is correct, will be established there. In the memorial
walkway they have, they have a purple Heart Marine Air
Force and so forth, and the eighteenth they are dedicating
the pow Mia Memorial.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's a beautiful cemetery.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Oh, it's gorgeous, gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I've been there for a few ceremonies over the years
and I'm never not on those grounds without being moved.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yes, very very movable. And we have several classmates of
ours that are there. I placed my dad's ashes out there,
so's he's there, and my brother, one of the other
ones I'm doing this for, is in Arlington, and so

(33:54):
it just struck me that there's no Army one and
I thought, and behalf of my brother and dad, I'm
gonna start this.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
You talked about a group of friends. How big of
a group are we talking about. That's kind of behind
and spearheading this effort. Ten others, okay.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Are on the committee and they're made up of veterans
from Vietnam, and they are all my classmates. And they
didn't have to state a second about coming and being
part of the committee.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
One of the things that I've observed in the twenty
three years of doing this program, and I'm so grateful
you reached out thank you, because this audience loves and
appreciates the men and women who have served this country.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
And that's one of the reason I touch base with you,
because you are a very big supporter of men and
women in uniform.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
It honors my brothers, it honors my dad who served,
and I have great regard for those as I know
you do, yes, sir, for those that have put their
lives on the line, because there is no way of
serving without doing so in one form or another. You're
putting your life on hold to serve a greater good.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Very true, very true.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
So we've got the Army monument, but there's a second
monument that you're also doing. That really excited me as well. Well.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Our first option was presentation to the Tallahassee National Cemetery
here to the director was putting the Army memorial and
then the Battlefield Cross on top of it, and they
came back and said, oh no, you can't do that.
It's two separate entities. Army and then Battlefold Cross represents

(35:43):
all the services, branch of services.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
So we said we'll do both. Let's do both.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
That's it all right. I jumped on it, and like
I said earlier, The Army Memorial has been approved, so
we're going to start getting everything order for that, and
then the Battleful Cross Memorial will go up to the
Undersecretary of National Cemeteries. As soon as we get worried

(36:11):
about that, the under Secretary, mister SAMs Brown, will approve that.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
We're gonna talk more with Billy Holder. He is chair
of Army Strong Tallahassee. We're talking about the National Cemetery
and two monuments that need to be on the grounds
of the National Cemetery. First things first, We're gonna also
tell you how you can help, and I'm gonna give
you all the information, so get something to write with.

(36:40):
Billy's gonna give you his personal email to reach out
to him if you'd like. But I'm also going to
tell you what I did and as simple as can be,
trust me on that. So stick around eleven past the hour.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Times were good and life was simple. He still lives there.
The morning with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred
point seven w f l A.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
All right, we're back with Billy Holder, Chairman of Army
Strong Tallahassee. And uh, I'm gonna give you a website
and I'm gonna mention it a couple of times, so
we'll take the time to do that. It is. I'm
not sure if I'm gonna pronounce this correctly. Billy and
I were just sort of joking about it. There's probably
a couple of ways to pronounce it, but one's gonna

(37:31):
be correct. And I have no idea what it is.
Neither it is e, but the website is voiter v
o I t u r E, and I'm guessing it's
pronounced voicher, but I could be wrong. Voiter v o
I t u r E one one two zero dot com.
It's really pretty simple. Once you're there on the website,

(37:55):
what I want you to do is you'll scroll down
just a touch and you're gonna see Army Strong, and
I want you to just click that. It's a really
clean website. Click that, and you're going to see the
memorial Monument project and how you can help, and there
are various tiers where you can donate to the cause.

(38:18):
And I'm just simply going to tell you that when
he reached out to me and I looked at the project,
I immediately made a donation, just a modest donation, because
I appreciate what they're doing. And you know my rule,
I never ever ask you to give to something that
I do not support. I'm just that's not how I'm wired.

(38:41):
And so I want you to know I'm not going
to get into how much, because what you give is
between you and God and whatever God lays on your
heart to do. I just know that you no matter
where you're listening to us from, and we have listeners
all over the country honoring the military where ever and
however we can honor them matters to you. And so

(39:04):
I'm just going to ask you V O I t
U R E eleven dot com go to the Army
Strong little little uh listing there, and you're gonna be
taken to the memorials, what's being built, where where they'll
stand in the different tiers of giving, and you're going
to be blessed. You mentioned that there's there's a little

(39:29):
fee taken out for the donations if they use credit
cards and all that just the cost of doing business
these days.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
That is very true.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Now I recommended, you know, put something in there to
let people take that cost for themselves, because I know
I would do that correct, and so maybe you'll look
into doing that. But but there if someone wants to
reach you directly, they can do that and you can
send them information where they can just write a check
to the cause.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
That is true, and my email is b H O.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
L D.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
E Are ninety nine at Comcast dot net. There you go,
and this way, if you email me, I will be
glad to send you an original form and brochure and
that way you can use it to mail in into
the organization and get send it by.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Check or checks will be made payable to Army Strong
of Tallahassee. Army Strong of Tallahassee. And folks, if you
didn't get that, you can just send me an email.
You all have my email address, and I have Billy's
contact info, but it's be Holder, Billy Holder, be Holder
ninety nine at Comcast dot net. That's as simple as

(40:44):
it can be. You can also just go online and
you can give a little extra just like put one
hundred and five bucks and that'll cover or you can
give fifty five bucks or that'll cover the processing charge.
Or you can give two hundred and sixty bucks and
that'll cover the cost, or you can give five hundred
and fifty bucks. You get my point. You can give
a little extra to cover the process and cost that

(41:07):
the credit card companies charge.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
And one other way you can make out the checks
is also forty and eight dash the one one two
oh nonprofit five oh one C nineteen.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
What is the goal time wise for you to get
the first monument up?

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Uh, we'll probably order it this next week and it
takes for the topical green grantede to be five to
six months, maybe seven months. And once we get that
all done, we'll set a time frame with the National
Tallahassee National Cemetery to set up a program and so

(41:47):
forth and get everything done. One of the things we'll
have in our program, we're going to come back if
you give us your phone number or email address, ask
who you were like to have your donation in honor
of or in memory of, and we're gonna put that
in the program for you.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, my dad served in the army, and so that
was like the first thing I thought of. What would
be your hopeful time frame. Let's set this at eight
months from now, we're going to have a ceremony to
put the Army memorial up. What would be your time
frame thereafter for the Army Cross, the Battlefield.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Cross, Battlefield Cross. After that, well, we're hoping we'll get
that approved over the next two months, and if not,
we'll make some phone calls to push it.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Over maybe within six months after that.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I was hope, So yeah, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
The nice thing about the Battlefield Cross is it honors everybody.
It honors everybody who has served, fought, and died in
our military.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Very true. Every branch of service there is that the
country has will be honored with that Battlefield Cross. We'll
have a helmet sixteen on it and uh jungle boots.
But also we're going to have seven dog tags that
represents all of the wars that the country has been in.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
And there's a word that some people might want to
put their own dog tags on it, So it happens,
and the door is open to that to whatever they'd
like to go do with their personal doll tags.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Thanks so much for coming in.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
I thank you so much for this opportunity. It's great,
and thank you personally for your support.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Absolutely, it's again v O I T U R E
eleven twenty dot com and if not, just email me
and I'll direct you from there. It's the Morning Show
with President Scott nineteen past the hour can't do enough

(44:09):
for the men and women who set their lives on
hold to serve our country. And so again I hope
that you can can help and do anything you can.
I wanted to highlight some things and this is sort
of the almost the opposite type of story. Justin Haskins
yesterday from the Heartland Institute Stopping Socialism dot com website.

(44:35):
He's the architect of it all. Justin has co authored
books with Glenn Beck. He's a prodigious writer and researcher.
The biggest findings of this surveying of eighteen to thirty
nine year olds, seventy six percent of young voters strongly
agree or somewhat agree that major industries like healthcare, energy,

(44:59):
and big tech should be nationalized to give more control
and equity to the people. That seventy six percent includes
a strong majority of young Republicans. Fifty three percent of
eighteen to thirty nine voters say they would like to
see a Democratic socialist candidate win the presidential election in

(45:20):
twenty twenty eight. This includes thirty five percent of young
voters who said they voted for Trump in twenty twenty four.
Among the voters who say they want a socialist president.
Thirty one percent said the main reason for their support
is housing costs are too high. Six and ten said
the US economy is quote unfair to young Americans. Fifty

(45:45):
five percent said they would quote support a law that
would confiscate Americans' excess wealth, including things like second homes,
luxury cars, and private votes, in order to help young
people buy a home for the first time. Fifty five
percent favored confiscation of the quote wealthy and how are

(46:06):
we defining that in order to help them buy a
car a house. Forty percent say they support fines or
legal penalties for quote Americans who refuse to use others
preferred gender pronouns forty percent. Twenty four percent of young

(46:27):
Americans rated their financial situation as doing well. The two
most popular responses were getting by and struggling. Fifty nine
percent said Americans said America should be the most powerful
country in the world just fifty nine percent. Those are
just some of the results of the polling. It is horrifying.

(46:52):
It's just horrifying. Twenty seven minutes past the hour, when
we come back, the big stories in the press box,

(47:30):
all right, background time sort of six minutes past. Good
to be with you this morning. We will uh, we'll
talk to you. I'm sorry that music just really distracted me.
The president of the James Madison Institute, doctor Bob McClure,

(47:52):
will join us next hour. Big stories in the press box.
I need to do a little bit of a deeper
dive into this one. A transidentifying athlete is backing out
of landmarks Supreme Court lawsuit. He is asking the court
to rule against him. This is interesting. Lindsey Heacock's twenty

(48:17):
four year old senior at Boise State University, told the
High Court he is dismissing his case. Asked the justices
to throw out a ruling from the ninth US Circuit
Court of Appeals that was decided in his favor. He's
represented by the ACLU. It was challenging Idaho's ban on

(48:41):
men participating in women's sports. Two lower courts ruled in
his favor. The state appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court,
which agreed to hear the case. The aclu'sed decision to
back out and to request that the court knock back

(49:02):
the earlier favorable rulings. Does it mean we're done with this? There?
Is another case. But here's what's interesting. The ACLU this guy.
They don't want the Supreme Court to get this case.
They don't want the Supreme Court to rule because once
it does, it's over. Well for the most part, the

(49:28):
tide is definitely turning on transgender athletes. The tide is
turning on the idea that we have to accept the
delusion of others as our own personal reality. No, we don't.
If you want to walk around pretending you're Spider Man,

(49:51):
have at it. But I'm not calling you Peter Parker.
I don't have to refer to you by whatever you
think you ought to be referred to, as it doesn't
work that way. This is about the ACLU doing what others,

(50:18):
and it oftentimes happens with planned parenthood. There are cases
like this that come up and they don't want it
to go to the High Court, so they don't appeal
certain rulings because they don't want the precedent setting decision.
The Supreme Court needs to say, sorry, it's too late,

(50:39):
we're going to decide on the matter. Along with the
West Virginia case, we're settling this. I wish the Court
would do this more often. Now we don't know if
they're going to do it, but the Supreme Court needs
to settle some issues, if I may. It's no different
than the issue of the Masterpiece bake shop bakery in Colorado,

(51:04):
Colorado Springs maybe, or Colorado wherever it is. It's absurd. No,
you cannot make somebody create art or anything that is
an affront to their personal values, whether it's a T
shirt or a wedding cake featuring two men or two women. No,

(51:27):
I'm sorry, you cannot do that. Supreme Court needs to
settle these kinds of cases. There are two there are
two sexes, male and female xx x y. That's what
we got. That's it, period end. And furthermore, the Court
needs to probably say something to the effect of and

(51:49):
hospitals will determine that with a DNA test at birth
and whatever that is. That's what you are. Now. You
can go around the rest of your life and part
and you're not that. That's your business. But no one
else has to agree with you, No one else has
to let you, no one else has to participate in
your delusion. One of the big stories in the press

(52:14):
box forty minutes past the hour. You won't believe the
story that's next. Seriously, you won't believe it.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Believe it.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Is from a daily caller. This is just teenage girls
are recruiting themselves as contract killers in Sweden. In Sweden's

(52:54):
organized crime wars, prosecutors reporting cases of fifth teen year
olds accepting assassination missions through encrypted messaging apps. Stockholm prosecutor
telling agency France Press I had a case involving a

(53:14):
fifteen year old girl recruited to shoot someone in the head.
She was able to choose the type of mission she wanted,
in other words, to aim at the guy's door or
his head. She chose the head. The girl and her
seventeen year old male accomplice allegedly left their victim fighting
for survival after shooting him in the neck, stomach, and legs.

(53:39):
Sweden charged Sweden. When I think of Sweden, I think
of Abba. I think of pretty little blonde haired girls,
and I think of the chef on on.

Speaker 6 (53:55):
The Muppets dundavindvinde vendi hundeband do do do do?

Speaker 1 (54:03):
That's what I think of. Sweden charged two hundred and
eighty girls between the ages of fifteen to seventeen with murder,
manslaughter or other violent crimes in just twenty twenty four alone.
Authorities cannot confirm how many cases are linked to organized crime.

(54:28):
Prosecutors say girls now compete to prove themselves more ruthless
than their male counterparts. It is part of a criminal network.
You owe me that quarter, yep, I got your Maya
Angelou quarter coming right up. Jose said to me in

(54:51):
the break, I'll bet you a penny, meaning that it
won't shock him, and then he said, I'll raise it.
I'll raise it to a quarter. I'm putting a whole
twenty five cent on this bad boy that it's not
gonna shock me.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Uh huh?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Are you kidding me? Female contract? And now, first of
the let me back up. There have been female assassins
since biblical times. But this I again, I believe it's

(55:33):
a social contagion of little girls in Sweden going oh.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
Yeah, oh yeah, but I will do it to you
only I ever shoot them in the head.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Are you kidding me? Are you flipping kidding me? You know,
when you take this story and you add it with
the story of young people and what they're thinking in
America today, and that's going to be your prime voting block.
As justin discussed yesterday. In a few years yesterday, I

(56:17):
said to Justin all I can think about is the
Book of Revelation. This is Look, I'll go ahead and
break this on you. If you dig deep, what you
find is that more than likely America is kind of

(56:40):
a nothing burger when Jesus returns. And if you look
at the trajectory of where we're going because of the
education system and how we're educating young people and we're
not informing them of why America was founded as a

(57:01):
constitutional republic and the dangers of socialism and communism and
so forth, it just fits. We're gonna just we're going
to self destruct. China's playing the long game. Boy, what
a bummer, right, Sorry, we come back speaking of China.

(57:24):
Not seriously, just a that's a broadcast professional segue right there.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
I don't know if NBC pushed your out or not.
Michelle Tafoya is a great sportscaster. She is now kind

(58:06):
of doing her own thing. She's got her own podcasts
out there, she's got her own website Michelle Tafoya dot com.
She was an asset to the Sunday night football broadcasts
did she just walk away say I'm over this just

(58:29):
kind of what's gone on in sports, the politicizing of
it all, or did they push her out. She's all
of the earth. She's my kind of person. I will
tell you I have a personal connection to Michelle Tafoya
in that my dad tabbed her to be one of

(58:54):
the hosts of a burgeoning sports radio network that he
had put together. It didn't flourish, it was very short lived.
My dad's health played a large role in that. But
I remember Dad distinctly talking about Michelle, how she was

(59:14):
such an impressive young sportscaster at the time. And I've
met her once and I just I said, I think
you know my dad, and she just smiled ear to ear.
I have reached out to Michelle and I'm trying to
get her on the air. I want her on the
show in part because she's taking on things that others

(59:36):
won't like. She's asking questions of Lebron James that Lebron
won't answer. She is just torching Bron Braun over his
essay in a Chinese state newspaper, and she called it
American malpractice. Lebron James is wealthy beyond wealth Is he

(01:00:01):
a great basketball player, Yes, absolutely, He's gotten away with
it by being a guy who has forced the NBA
to change the way that it calls and officiates games.
I call it bullyball. He's guilty of He would foul
out of every game that was officiated prior to the
Michael Jordan era. But it is what it is. I

(01:00:27):
don't begrudge him that. I begrudge him for making so
much money and making such a big deal of China
and thinking that China is just this incredible nation. And
of course he's got nothing to say about the slave
dealings of China. He has everything to say about the
perceived injustices in America, but he's got nothing to say

(01:00:54):
about China. And Michelle is willing to talk about it. Said,
I've got some pointed questions for Lebron that I'm sure
he will never allow anyone to ask him, and he
certainly will never answer. His essay coincided with the end
of his Get This Forever King tour, That's what he

(01:01:15):
called it, referring to himself, of course, as King James.
I really am hoping I get favor with Michelle and
she comes on the show. I will set aside as
much time as she'll give me. She's a bright lady

(01:01:38):
and she's got some courage. Fifty six past the hour,
doctor Bob McClure.

Speaker 7 (01:01:44):
Next, there we go, third hour The Morton Show with

(01:02:19):
President Scott here talking with our good friend from the
James Madison Institute, doctor Bob McClure.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
And good to see you, sir. How are you well.

Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
I'm doing great, but you're a wealth of information off
air holy smoked, right right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
But but you know what we were we were talking fundamentally,
you know, the America, We've we've lost our way a
little bit. We've lost control of the public education system.
And I think we're fighting to catch up.

Speaker 8 (01:02:49):
We are, we are and and and you know, there's
some things I haven't agreed with with the President on.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
But this is a strugg goal we did.

Speaker 8 (01:03:02):
I don't think we realized just how horrible the last
four years have been. You probably saw yesterday and and
this is I wouldn't say minor, but it's certainly the issue.
They revised downwardly almost a million job creation you know,
it's nine hundred and eleven thousand. Oh, they just revised
it downward. During the Biden administration. That's just one thing

(01:03:25):
we're you know, we can go over all the other
sortid uh issues, the auto pen, the you know, twenty
one percent cumulative inflation, the debt, the the embarrassment on
the international stage, no fear from our enemies.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Listen, do you think it matters? I asked this of
Congresswoman Kat Camick. Does it matter that we know who
was running the country when Joe Biden was sitting in
the office, because he certainly wasn't. Yeah, I think it does.
I think we have to find out.

Speaker 8 (01:03:57):
I think we have and that's the you know, this,
this auto pen thing is easy for people to say,
come on, it's not let's just move on.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I get it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:05):
But we have to find out who was running the country,
whether it was Susan Rice or you know, somebody else,
Barack Obama or Barack Obama, it's the Obiden administration right right,
right right, But we have to find out what happened
because we have these people, you know there, it's notorious
in DC.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Nobody ever pays.

Speaker 8 (01:04:25):
There are no consequences, and the American people understand that,
and that's why they're so disgusted with both parties and
really why Trump wins, yes, because they're disgusted with both
parties and there are never any consequences and so, but
we have to find out what happened. We have to
get answers. It's the slow process, but we're getting there.
All those behind closed door meetings with different people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
It's it's important to do. Since you and I last
visited Jam, I released a study tell us about it.
It was.

Speaker 8 (01:04:58):
On an election reform called the gold Standard. How Florida
became the gold standard for the country from Bush v.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Bush v. Gore to today. Isn't that a lesson on Okay,
you screwed up, look at what you did and fix it.

Speaker 8 (01:05:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what we did. And so everybody
remembers Bush v. Gore and the hanging Chad's and the
chaos and oh my gosh, Shepherd Smith, Yeah yeah, Shep Smith,
whatever happened to that guy? And then you know Tallahassee,
I'm like, hey, I know where that reporter stand, and
I know he's you know, behind him is the old
singh store right or whatever?

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
You know?

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:05:36):
And now here we are today. Just go back to
the most recent election. First of all, we have twenty
three million people in this state. We have a thousand
people moving here today almost we have two time zones.
We are the most diverse state in the country, along
with Texas and California. And yet we know by midnight
every single election now who's won every race up and

(01:05:58):
down the ballot every night, And there are a lot
of there are a lot of reasons why. And so
the study looks at how did we get from the
chaos and the incompetence of Bushvie Gore to being the
single best state when it comes to running elections. And
we're not a static state. We're not a small state.
We are a vast dynamic. I mean, you've got Liberty

(01:06:20):
County with eleven thousand people in the entire county, and
you've got Miami Dade with almost three million, like two
point eight.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
How do we do it? And so it is.

Speaker 8 (01:06:31):
An opportunity for other states to look and say, Okay, Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
Can do that. We can do that, we can do that.

Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
California is probably still counting ballots from last November, right,
and so, and we can get into you talk about
conspiracy theorists. I believe there are people who want chaos
in our elections.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
That's what I was going to say, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:06:51):
So, but in what we find out, and this is
for for your our conservative friends who are listening, the
left wants to argue pro sys, Preston, we want to
argue policy, and when you fix the process, the left
has to argue policy and they lose. And that's why
Florida's gold standard is so important.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Doctor Bob McClure with me this half hour. It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (01:07:17):
Show with Preston Scott, Mother No you wear her.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Drape My News Radio one point seven WUFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Dot Dr Bob Mcflorida James Mason Institute. Where talking about elections,
we're talking about the gold standard that is now Florida,
Yet we still have other places that aren't doing. This
is where I've argued, I think that constitutionally, doctor McClure,
there's an argument that can be made legally that the

(01:08:18):
government has a right to set standards for how federal
elections are conducted, how a state runs its own elections. No,
it cannot, but it can say, in my opinion, okay,
you're going to all use optical scanners and a paper ballot.
So there's a backup. So we have a paper backup
of everything.

Speaker 8 (01:08:37):
Well, I think the Trump administration is trying to do that.
You saw with the executive order on voter ID.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Is it gonna hold up in court? I don't know,
But wouldn't that be the argument, Hey, you do your
state however you want, but from a federal election standpoint,
because I thought the Supreme Court was wrong to say
Texas didn't have standing when it challenged the twenty twenty race, right,
because every state has standing when the elect affects every state.

Speaker 8 (01:09:01):
Right, Well, yeah, courts are reluctant to get involved in
those kinds of things. Yeah, post the elections. So I
think there's part of that, But I do yes, and
I think there's a role for the feds. The question
is who's fed is it going to be? Is it
going to be the Biden administrations federal government or the
Trump administration's federal government.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
So that that is, and that leads to another concern.

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
You know, Look, I'm I'm I'm bullish on President Trump.
I think he's doing some great things. I'm kind of
a Trump a la carte. There's some things I don't
I don't like. I don't like taking over Intel, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Know, probably me. I'm not an always Trumper, and I'm
not an every Trump no no, no, no, no, no, and so.

Speaker 8 (01:09:40):
But but I do believe, you know, there's a role
for the FEDS to play in elections with some of
these things. My concern is what happens when you have
a Biden type administration in charge and then there all
of a sudden deciding how elections are going to be
run in Pennsylvania or in Wiscon or you know, some

(01:10:01):
of the other problem children, Arizona, Georgia, although Georgia seems
to have fixed a lot of its problems so hopefully
right right, So that's my concern. But I do think
the FED, can you know, what incentives matter? Right, Disincentives matter,
So I think the FED has a role to play
certainly there when it comes to elections and election reform.

(01:10:23):
There is no reason, Preston for states not to know
within twenty four hours, even the night of the election,
who won. And one of the things Florida does is
they count ahead of time. Right now, we don't know
how Preston Scott voted, but we know that Preston Scott
has voted, and every night you can go on Twitter

(01:10:44):
and see oh one hundred thousand Republicans voted in Florida,
eighty thousand Democrats and fifty thousand no party affiliation NPAs
every day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
And when the bid and when the polls close, those
numbers are released.

Speaker 8 (01:10:57):
Yes, not before those Yes, and the mail in ballot.
I know the president doesn't like mail in ballots. I'm
they give me some heartburn. But they work in Florida.
They have to be in by seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
That's the key. In some of these states, they're saying
that they can come in whenever.

Speaker 8 (01:11:14):
Give me a break, right, two weeks, four weeks later, Yes,
not signed. You know you signed an affidavit every time
you mail in your ballots.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Saying that is me.

Speaker 8 (01:11:24):
You know that's a felony here in Florida if that's
not you. And so you know they have to be
in that day, that night that you can drop them off.
You can track it online. You know Mark early here
in Leon County. You know my elderly grandfather or grandfather,
father doesn't drive anymore. He fills out his ballot, you
drop it off. I can track it online. My grandfather

(01:11:46):
and my father didn't even know what online means.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
And but but we and it's incumbent on the voter
Bob to take into account. For example, right now in Tallahassee,
our mail goes to Jacksonville and comes back. Well, I
guess if you're gonna vote by mail, you better take
that into account. Yes, and you better have it. You know,
you better take a couple of weeks to make sure
your ballet gets in on time. Right, And why we
don't do that nationwide and say okay, when at eleven

(01:12:10):
to fifty nine, that's it. They don't have it. It doesn't count. Yeah,
we're not there.

Speaker 8 (01:12:15):
No, No, we're not because there are people who want
chaos because it gins up voter turnout for certain groups
from one. But it also takes your focus off of
the issues and turns the focus to Jim Crow two
point zero or racism, the crisis of the day driving

(01:12:37):
down voter turnout of certain groups. Yes, the crisis of
the day, instead of the policies that matter. That's what
I love about Donald Trump. That is one thing he's doing.
He has said this, you'll like me, this is what.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
I'm gonna do, and gone, and he's doing it. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
The second thing is he gets he's he's getting after
it like Washington, DC, and and you know all of
these different thinks. People know what he's gonna do. They
may not love him, they may be agnostic towards him.
They probably voted for him. But but but Kamala Harris
never said what she was going to do. There was
no You never knew what she was going to do.
She wasn't capable of saying no, She's afraid to say it.

(01:13:17):
Joining us, Doctor Bob McLure.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
More to come on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Final few minutes here with doctor Bob McClure with the

(01:13:41):
James Madison Institute. You may or may not have heard
my visit yesterday with Paul Renner. Uh In disclosure, Paul
was an associate work briefly with the DoD Madison Institute.

Speaker 8 (01:13:51):
Slarn residents at JMI good Man Bright Bright delightful, sharp
button down With that said, give me your evaluation of
kind of where we are in the governor's race. Well,
I think you have Paul's jumped in. I think obviously
Byron is kind of the lead dog out of the

(01:14:14):
gate because of Trump's endorsement. Oh, it's got to be
Trump's endorsement.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
If you.

Speaker 8 (01:14:20):
We did a poll at JMI. Now this was before
Renner Paul got in. Now full disclosure. I know both
gentlemen really well. I like both of them very much.
They'd both do a great job. We did a poll
at JMI, and we had at that point it was
Byron Donald's against Casey DeSantis in the field. Okay, because

(01:14:44):
at that point, this was, you know, six months ago,
people thought Casey was going to get in.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Is this strictly GOP nomination? Yeah, we did.

Speaker 8 (01:14:52):
We did a democratic polling as well, okay, but that
was separate. But we did it was democratic the democratic field.
When people did know that Byron was in the Republican primary,
did not know that Byron was endorsed by Trump. When
they did not know it, it was basically even between
Byron and Casey. When they found out that Trump had

(01:15:12):
endorsed Byron, He's up twenty three points over Casey. So
you look at Trump's work in Florida. In twenty sixteen,
he barely won the state one hundred thousand votes. In
twenty twenty, he wins it by four hundred thousand. In
twenty twenty four, he wins it by a million and
a half votes he trounced.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
It's a lot like the DeSantis curve, right, right, Yeah,
that's exactly right. And so Florida has become more and
more read There are a lot of reasons why, driven
by a Hispanic community growth that is very conservative, and
finally Republican conservatives figured out how to talk to you know,
various groups in the correct way. Voter registration in Florida.

Speaker 8 (01:15:51):
I mean well over a million, it might be a
million and a half now more Republicans than Democrats. The
Democratic parties in trouble in dure of becoming a third
party in Florida behind NPA's it's it's like a almost
a two and a half to three million vote swing. Yeah,
in registrations. Yeah, and we see that naturally, but in Florida.
Florida is the canary in the coal mine. It always

(01:16:12):
is when it comes to policy. So the Democratic Party here,
what do they? I mean, they're a train wreck, right,
I mean they're for weed and no bunch and no right,
weed and abortion. That's really kind of all Nikky Free
talks about, right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
And so.

Speaker 8 (01:16:29):
The point is that when Byron has that endorsement, when
it's clear to the Republican primary voter. He wins the primary.
He's up twenty three. Paul is a great guy. Paul's
gonna give Byron a run for his money. We need
good people.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Iron sharpens iron resolutely. I think that's great. We don't
need a coronation. Right. What I hope is they don't
make each other enemies, that they consider each other colleagues
and just to sharpen each other, right, right.

Speaker 8 (01:16:56):
But there's a third variable that's out there, and that's
Jay Collins. You think the lieutenant. I mean, I'm just
saying it's a variable. I don't know what that means.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
What about Casey Desantas. You think she's made the decision
just to lay out I have no knowledge of it. Yeah,
I don't know. It just seems that the talk has
died away. M yeah. Is there any viable candidate on
the Democrats side? Jason Pizzo to me put a a
nail in the coffin of the Democrats when he said,

(01:17:26):
I can't even be part of your party, right right?

Speaker 8 (01:17:30):
I mean David Jolly, who is the Charlie crist of
of the you know, Republican Democrats, humiliated himself. So, I mean,
short of some scandal we're unaware of Preston.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
I don't I don't see it, but I do think.

Speaker 8 (01:17:45):
I do think the primary is going to be uh
healthy or can be can be healthy and a good
thing to have. Let's let's argue, let's let's fight it out.
Let's sharpen our positions so that when we get to
the general they're ready to go. So I think it's
a good thing. Paul's a great guy, Byron's a great guy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Jay Collins is a great guy.

Speaker 8 (01:18:06):
I'm all absolutely, and I you know, I think I
don't think it's a bad thing.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
I want whoever is going to be willing to tackle
the everify problem. I have personal reasons for that. Yeah,
thanks for the time. Thanks for having me always, Doctor
Bob McLure of the James Madison Institute my guests twenty
seven past the Hour, WUFLA. Always love having doctor Bob

(01:18:53):
McLure with me from the James Madison Institute. We end
up talking as much off air as we do on air,
and isn't that always the case? Big stories in the
press box this morning. President Trump is supporting RFK Junior
amid calls for his resignation. He said, look, he's got
a lot of great ideas, and he does. I'm okay

(01:19:16):
with poking the bear, aren't you? Doesn't our healthcare system
need to be prodded, poked, checked, inspected, nudged, dislodged from
its protocols and purchase. We're asking questions about vaccines that

(01:19:41):
we have been forcing into children for decades, and we're saying,
is maybe autism part of this? Maybe it isn't, but
maybe it is. Maybe these vaccines, combined with what's happened
to our diets and the nutrition or lack thereof in
our foods, is adding up to a problem that is

(01:20:02):
leading to autism. I don't know. But here's the thing.
Neither do you, and neither does the FDA, and neither
does the CDC. And that's the problem we don't know.
I love that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is asking questions.

(01:20:28):
He's challenging food makers. Do we really need an artificial
die in our foods that we know is harmful? Do
we need high fruit toast corn syrup when we know
it's harmful? Do we have to follow this problem? I

(01:20:54):
am all in favor of asking all these questions. To me,
there you go, there's the role of Health and Human Services.
There's the role of the FDA. There's the role not
to move the goalposts, which they did during COVID. Wait.
Vaccine is supposed to stop something. Do these shots stop it?

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
They don't. Okay, we're changing the definition of vaccine. Wait,
nasal sprays hydroxychloroquin ivermectin works. We can't allow that because
then we can't have the shot. So we're going to

(01:21:38):
have to say that those are horse de warmers and
their use. But sir, that's a Nobel Prize winning drug.
I don't care. See they change the rules. That's not science.
Science is adhering to strict protocols and whatever happens happens,

(01:22:05):
whatever we learn there, it is because we followed these
standards in these protocols. It's not a vaccine. These COVID
shots are not vaccines. Quit calling them vaccines. Their shots,
their jabs. Israel strikes targets of hamas in Cutter or Katar.

(01:22:26):
Take your pick. That's what I did now or one
I just laughed. Trans identifying athlete backing out of landmarks
Supreme Court lawsuit asking the court to rule against him.
Why well, he doesn't want the case before the United
States Supreme Court. He wants the lower court to rule
and it's just hang there so that they can then

(01:22:48):
continue to do what they're doing in other states. They
don't want a Supreme Court ruling, and they saw that
they were going to lose. It's sort of a plea
bargain when you know you're going to lose. A last
minute effort ACLU. They don't want a decision at the
Supreme Court on transgenderism and males and females. They can't
afford that decision, so they're trying to get out of it.

(01:23:09):
I hope the Court doesn't let them out. And what
many or heart are harping on as see Trump is
being rejected. Look at what happened in Virginia. The eleventh
District of Virginia is a flaming lefty it's not left leaning.
Trump lost by thirty one. He got thirty one points

(01:23:31):
in this district. That's what he got. So a Democrat
guy running for a Democrat won the seat again for
like the fortieth straight time. Whatever. It's not a harbinger
of anything. It's just proving that the people of the
eleventh District of Virginia is still clueless forty one minutes

(01:23:52):
passed the hour. I've got a real smile inducing moment.
We said, yes, do you use the restroom before you
listen or invested at thirty foot catheter? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
I use it all the time. This is the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Not to be put it this way, total victory. Cracker
Barrel says they are halting all remodeling projects. I thought
they market tested it. I thought they were told that
this is exactly what everybody wants. Cracker Barrel, you've shared

(01:24:46):
your voices in recent weeks, not just on our logo,
but also on our restaurants. We're continuing to listen. Today
we're suspending our remodels. If your restaurant has haven't been remodeled,
you don't need to worry. It won't be. With our
recent announcement that our old timer logo will remain along

(01:25:07):
with our bigger focus in the kitchen and on your plate.
We hope that today's step reinforces that we hear you.
Did you catch that they have been listening to not
just the comments about the outside, but why you go

(01:25:27):
to a restaurant the food and the food has declined dramatically.
Now does that mean they're going to hire and employ
people that care that properly prepare meals. I don't know.

(01:25:51):
Some of the comments in reply to the announcement by
Cracker Barrel. We're entertaining at the very least, So your
CEO shelled out seven hundred million dollars or nothing, Maybe
you should consider firing her. Thank you for listening. You
might not get bud lighted after all. Go back to

(01:26:14):
fresh and freshly prepared food. The frozen fast food model
won't work for this type of restaurant. My dad actually
went back a few months ago and described the meal
as the worst of his life. Stories from employees on
food prep changes explain why then this one again. Cracker

(01:26:38):
Barrel says, we've heard you. We're not continuing the remodeling.
We're going to focus on the plate. Here's one response, Nah,
ceo out or we keep dragging you total victory or
nothing too late between woke and now microwave food. I'm
done with you, Michael Kingi's anyway. So those are just

(01:27:04):
some of the comments. You know, I'm certainly I'm going
to wait before I want to wait and hear that
the food is improved. I want to know that the
CEO is gone. I want to know that the board
of directors for Cracker Barrel has either been rearranged or
that they've had a complete confessional and have decided to

(01:27:30):
return to what made Cracker Barrel. And here's the thing,
They're going to go back to waits for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner at their locations. If they do this and
they get it right, the parking lots will be full
once again. They'll be making money hand over fist once again.

(01:27:53):
Forty six minutes past the hour, wrap up this program
and tease tomorrow's show. Next tomorrow on the program, Steve Stewart,

(01:28:21):
doctor David Harts try to help you feel better. Blazing
Golia State CFO will be joining us on the program tomorrow.
Also a roadie. Actually, I've got a very unique set
of road trip suggestions for you. That is more coming
on the program. Just a quick reminder if you are

(01:28:42):
interested in supporting the fundraiser to put the Army monument
in the National Cemetery, there isn't one. There's a monument
to the Army and it's been approved by the Department
of Veterans Affairs, and what is it? The National Cemetery.

(01:29:10):
You can go to v O I t U r
E eleven twenty Voyter or Voycher eleven twenty dot com
and go to Army Strong and click there and you'll
you'll be supporting the effort to put the Army Monument
at the National Cemetery as well as the Battlefield Cross.

(01:29:31):
And you know, I'm just going to tell you that
I supported that effort. I don't ask you to do
something that I'm not willing to do, so I would
love for you to support the efforts to properly honor
our Army and all those in all branches of service.
Because the Battlefield Cross honors everyone who has given their

(01:29:55):
life in service to this country. I think it ought
to be at the National Cemetery, and I think it'd
be awesome if you would, if you would support it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. We started the
day with Acts Chapter one, Versus thirteen and fourteen. It's
where we started the radio broadcast. Big stories in the
press box, trans identifying athlete backing out of a landmark
Supreme Court lawsuit. Why well, the ACLU and this person

(01:30:27):
they recognize that a landmark decision by the Supreme Court
is bad for their cause. I'm hoping the Supreme Court
rejects the request and they rule on the case, and
let's settle this males and females only period end. Israel

(01:30:51):
strikes target targets of Hamas leadership in Qatar. That's a
good thing. President Trump pushing back on calls for Robert F.
Kennedy Junior to step down from his post as the
Health secretary for the nation. He's standing with him, and
I think he should. Democrat wins a district in Virginia

(01:31:15):
that Democrats have won since forever. The media is trying
to spin this into an indictment against Trump and his policies.
Don't believe it. I'm just saying, don't believe it. Look
Trump's not making every right decision, but most of them
are right, and that's enough. You know. It's as good

(01:31:35):
as we're going to get right now. So that's a
good thing. We went through the polling results that Justin
Haskins talked about yesterday, but we just shared some of
the really big findings of this survey. You can find
the survey for yourself at heartland dot org. It's right
there on the homepage, and you can see all the
results that are a little ominous. Scientists discover a as

(01:32:00):
a war of near drinking quality water underneath the ocean.
Here's what's interesting, as a listener pointed out, you remember
what it said in Genesis seven, verse eleven, fountains of
the Great deep bursting forth, which brought about the flood
of the Earth. Just saying the flood that Noah, you know,

(01:32:24):
did his surfing on. Does that maybe help understand and
explain the source of water underneath the floors of the ocean. Sweden,
fifteen to seventeen year old girls being recruited and volunteering

(01:32:45):
for contract killings. Yes, being assassins in Sweden? Are you
kidding me? Nothing sacred anymore? Tomorrow we'll tee it up
and do it again. Friends, have yourself an awesome day,
and thanks for sharing time with us.
