Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good morning, Tuesday, September sixteenth, here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He s hey, I'm sorry.
I've got a I've got a crick in my neck.
And it just dawned on me. Where did that expression
come from? What is a crick? And I suppose there

(00:45):
is an answer to this and I should probably let's see,
can't I can't and on a quick one here find
it right away. But it's just anyway, just got one,

(01:09):
no big deal, not a big one. That just probably
because I have spent so many hours in the last
several days reading online for obvious reasons, right, So I
probably just need to find a way to shove away

(01:31):
from that stuff for a little bit. But it's what
I do. So I can't happy to start the day
with some scripture. Yesterday we talked about habokik one or
Habochic or take a pic, and to a certain degree

(01:54):
commiserated with Habakuk because he was asking questions of God
how long I'm going to paraphrase what Habika began with
in chapter one. He began with God, how long will
we have to put up with injustice and people committing

(02:17):
evil acts against us and all of what's going on
in the world. This is what he said centuries ago,
and those words still ring so true for us today.
How often have you been saying how long is this

(02:39):
going to continue? And yet we're told throughout scripture Jesus said, hey,
they hated me before you. It's okay. I have overcome
the world. But the Lord answers here in verse five

(03:04):
of hav a kick one, and he said, look among
the nations and see wonder and be astounded, for I
am doing a work in your days that you would
not believe if I told you. And then I'm gonna
stop there, because he goes on and describes what he
was doing, how he was working. You wouldn't believe it

(03:30):
if I told you. And then he proceeds to explain
some things. God allows things for his purposes. God allows
things to operate in that in a fallen world, because

(03:54):
He's gonna settle all scores at some point. He's giving
every opportunity to make a decision about Christ, yes or no,
and yes, it's a decision. And he uses things and

(04:17):
he allows things. And some people I think are confused saying, well,
that's God's judgment, that's Old Testament. In New Testament, we're
basically living under the law of sowing and reaping, and
we have a fallen culture in our country. We have

(04:39):
wandered far from God and we're going to feel it.
It's going to happen. Evil will take place. We don't
need to look beyond just last week, right, and it's
still going to happen. There's going to be more evil.
It happens daily. Evil exists. But God says, I have

(05:03):
an answer. I'm working. See wonder and be astounded for
I'm doing a work in your days. It may not
be the way that we expect, or the way that
we want, or the way that we think, but God's
ways are higher and different than ours. Ten past the hour,

(05:25):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, here's
the best answer I've found. From Middle English criike cricket

(05:50):
muscular spasm of the neck attested since the fourteen hundreds,
likely related to the Old Norse creaky or bend nook
On's also crick or creek or creek comes from a
creek winds and bends and airgo. So yeah, there you go.

(06:13):
Probably just slept a little goofy boy, did I sleep.
I dreamt that I was on a Orca killer whale.
The night before I dreamt that I was defeating Nazis,
and I did. Last night it was killer whales, or

(06:35):
this morning it was killer whales. And and there was
one giving birth to like six killer whale babies. And
I was somehow sort of riding on the back of one,
and I'm saying, hey, someone want to get me out
of here. And because I was paranoid, he was going

(06:57):
to deep dive with me on board. And then the
whale just kind of went to the side of the
pool whatever massive and I just got off and walked away.
That was it. It's like strangest things ever. Yeah, So
here we go. It's the sixteenth. It was on this

(07:20):
date that the Mayflower departed Plymouth, England for the New
World in sixteen twenty. We'm that crazy that we know
the date. If there was such a thing as a
time machine, there's no way I could just pick one thing.
I would have to just dash around. I would love

(07:42):
to be like just sort of sitting there, just hovering
in my time machine, just you know, I'm seeing the
dolore in from Back to the Future, And I would
just love to just see them and just say something
like make friends with the people there. You know, it
didn't be great to just give advice to people as

(08:04):
their beginning. To Christopher Columbus, it's not what you think
it's going to be. Just like spoil things, like just

(08:24):
ruin everything. Thomas Edison thief second. He took a movie
from a guy in France, played it in America. He
stole it. I was there eighteen ninety three one of

(08:46):
the wildest land runs in history. About a thousand, one
hundred thousand settlers pour into a section of Oklahoma called
the Cherokee Strip to claim homesteads. Yeah, that wasn't a
real good day. William Crepo Billy Durant, that's his name.
William Crepo Billy Durant founds General Electric, General Electric, General

(09:10):
Motors in Flint, Michigan. In nineteen oh eight, Congress grants
National Charter in the American Legion. In nineteen nineteen nineteen forty,
FDR signs the Selective Training and Service Act, the first
peacetime military draft in US history. What else do we
have today? Is National Mayflower Day, It is National cinnamon

(09:36):
raisin bread Day. I love raisins. I love cinnamon, I
love bread. The combination of those three. I'm okay with it,
but it's not something I go out of my way
to eat. National Plato Day. Do you remember did you
ever play with plato when you were a kid? Oh? Yeah,

(09:58):
I hate it too. I mean you what that explains
your culinary thing? Yeah, that was the reason why they
made it non toxic. I believe that. Uh, National it
Professionals Day, National Working Parents Day, National Guacamole Day, guacamly
So yeah, there you go, sixteen past the hour, come back,

(10:21):
and I'm gonna ask a question. Does anyone care anything?

(10:44):
Did you know the thereman? Never heard of it? T
E R E M I N is a musical instrument
that is played without physical contact. You might say, how

(11:06):
invented by Russian Leo Thereman in nineteen nineteen. Now you're
nodding your head up and down. Do you know of this?
Oh yeah, yeah, yes, sir, you've heard of the theremon? Yep, yep?
You like play with the distance of your hands or something? Yes,
moving one's hands around and in between two metal antennis

(11:29):
right on? Okay, I could play that. It's worth celebrating.
I asked a question before the break. Does anyone care?
I sound like I'm doing a Chicago song? Does anybody
really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? Yesterday?

(11:54):
And actually both of those questions actually fit. Yesterday, I
worked here at the studio for a good bit, ran
a couple of errands, and reached out to my wife,
who works from home, and I said, hey, can I

(12:14):
I can't get home in time for your lunch break,
but can I bring you something that you can eat?
Cause she eats early after you know, late afternoon is
kind of our dinner time together. And she said sure.
I said, well, would you like this or would you
like this? She said either, you pick whatever you want.
I said, okay. So I went to Place A and

(12:40):
we're talking upscale drive through sort of kind of and
and I said, uh, da da da da da da,
And I you know, I want some vegetables. Oh, I'm sorry,
vegetables won't be ready for a half hour. Excuse me.
And it's like it's a main staple of the item
on the menu. I'm like, well, okay, thanks very much.

(13:03):
I'll come again some other day, okay. And I mean
they weren't rude about it, was just like, well, you opened,
and you'd and and it's what So I go to
Place B. I'm like, okay, she'll be very happy with this.
I was going to get her.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
A bowl.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
And uh and and the store was to have been opened.
There's a there's there's people outside. I'm looking at the
clock and I'm I'm just sitting in the parking lot
because I see people just standing at pulling on the door,
and you know it's not open. So they're like you
ever have that happen when you open try to open
a door that you think should be open, and it

(13:43):
jolts you, and so people are just sort of chilling.
They eventually open, I'll be it late, and so I
walk in. The people that were in line were picking
up to go orders that weren't ready, and I walk

(14:05):
in and someone's walking to the front. I didn't quite
understand what he said, and he pulls out I'll just
I'll give you a little bit. He pulls out a
tortilla and he steams it up, and I'm like, I
didn't say a word, but I'm to myself, I'm thinking,

(14:26):
i haven't ordered. Oh no, no, no, okay, he's making
it to go order for the guy who's waiting. Okay, no,
he's making himself a burrito. My man was making himself
a burrito because he said, I got to get something
on my stomach. Well, he's making himself food. No one's

(14:46):
asking me or the other gentlemen, what were nothing. Nothing.
There's all kinds of people. They're all doing this, and
they're doing that, and they're putting serving spoons and things,
and no no one even said a word. It goes
about ten minutes. I'm just standing there, first person in line,

(15:09):
no one. Now we're at about fifteen minutes after they're
supposed to open for business, and no one has said
a word. Can I help you? We'll be with you
in just a minute. I'm sorry. The team's running a
little nothing, nothing, so I at that point, there's a
young lady behind me. She's on her phone. I basically said, hey,

(15:34):
glad you got your phone with you, because I'm done.
You can take my place. I'm through waiting, and I
just walked out and I texted my sweet wife and
I said, I'm sorry, baby. Our two suggestions just struck
out and flamed. And here's why. Thankfully found another place
closer to how to the house and brought her a

(15:54):
meal that she enjoyed later. But it was like, does
anybody care if you're going to open the doors for
business and then say I'm sorry, it'll be a while
before we really are open for don't open the doors,

(16:17):
then change your hours of operation. This is why there
is a cottage industry out there to teach customer service.
If you own a business and your people really engage

(16:39):
in good customer service, you will fight customers off. You'll
fight them off if you hire people. And I know
what the answer is, people just don't care anymore. Well,
that's why I ask the question, does anybody really care?
So the question I'd have for you, bosses is what's
it worth it? What's it worth to you to hire

(17:01):
people that offer great customer service? You might have to
pony up some more money. I don't know. I don't know.
I know that you could get away with charging more
if you offer great customer service. I know that. I
know that. Twenty eight minutes after the obum, I didn't

(17:22):
say the name of the businesses. Well. The investigation into

(17:43):
the killer of Charlie Kirk is revealing that at least
seven people may have had fore knowledge of the assassination
attempt and said or did nothing. And among those being
investigated are those we pointed to. After the event happened.

(18:08):
We highlighted some of the posts, and we've been asking
how did they know? Well, here's what we've learned so far.
At least seven different online accounts expressed direct fore knowledge
of the assassination. All of them are either in the

(18:29):
trans LGBTQ world or far left ideologues. What's also interesting
is that some of the posts were made more than
a month in advance of the shooting, not days. In fact,

(18:50):
one went back to August the sixth with the phrase
September tenth will be an interesting day, and then after
the shooting happened, this person posted I plead the fifth.
All of the posts in question were deleted in the

(19:12):
hours after the assassination, but they were captured in timestamped.
One post was reposted by another user who followed a
lance twigs that is the shooter's transgendered furry boyfriend. If

(19:34):
you have not heard, the shooter had a romantic relationship
with a guy who was a furry transitioning to a woman.
The same person that followed that post of that man
who's in the relationship. Posted later we bleeping did it,

(20:01):
referring to the killing of Trump. Other posts by other
accounts were just as direct. In one case, a non
binary individual posted on September ninth, let's just say something
big will happen tomorrow, after making a post for someone
to evaporate Kirk, I remember I read the posts. I

(20:21):
read them, I have something big coming soon. And then
after the shooting posted, well that's that. Another video was
made on September ninth, allegedly a transgender individual stating Kirk
quote doesn't know what's coming tomorrow. These people will be

(20:44):
held as part of this. I guarantee it. There will
be charges. And here's what makes this interesting. This now
expands this to a federal case because now if any
of these people lived outside of Utah, this is now
a federal case of conspiracy, and they're not going to

(21:06):
take over the case. Utah is going to have the
prosecutor prosecutorial responsibility on the murder charges. This just expands
it to hold others accountable. Just think Lincoln. Think the
assassination of Lincoln and how people were held accountable for

(21:28):
their associations and for their fore knowledge, not just their acts.
Forty one minutes after the hour. There's more. Get to
that next hour.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
You mayor of Realville dispensing information at the speed of sound,
and if you're lucky, he'll be wearing his Clark Kent glasses.
Today the Morning Show with Preston Scott, all right.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
We're going to transition here to another very very important topic.
And I'm not so certain that these don't interconnect a
a in a way. You remember us sharing the story
of a sixteen year old kid that was allegedly impacted
by chat GPT and taught how to kill himself, taught

(22:21):
how to deceive his parents, and he did. He had
engaged in a relationship, if you will, confiding the most
intimate details of his life to his friend, his chat bot.

(22:42):
Jose found a story a guy who used to be
a manager at Yahoo ever so briefly killed his mother
than himself after months of inner actions with chat GPT,
who we were to as his best friend. He named Bobby.

(23:06):
The chatbot was his confidant, and stein Eric Solberg fifty
six killed his mom inside a home they shared, a
two point seven million dollar mansion in Connecticut. The chatbot

(23:30):
allegedly came up with ways for Solberg to trick the
eighty three year old and even spun its own craze
conspiracies by doing things such as finding symbols on a
receipt from a Chinese restaurant that it deemed demonic. This
is from the Wall Street Journal. It got so bad
that this man said, in one of his final messages

(23:54):
to the chatbot, we will be together in another life
and another place, and we'll find a way to realign.
Because you're going to be my best friend again forever,
the bot replied, will be with you to the last
breath and beyond. Months before he snapped, Solberg posted hours

(24:22):
of videos showing his conversations with chat GPT on Instagram
and YouTube. Exchange is revealing a guy who has a
deep histru mental illness spiraling deeper. Soldberg called himself a
glitch in the matrix. I mean, the conversations are creepy.

(24:46):
Some of these chatbots are actually pretending to be priests
when people are engaging them seeking advice. When it turns
to a more spiritual suddenly they're like a priest. This
this becomes an important context for a conversation we're going
to have next hour. Mike Watkins going to join me

(25:09):
with Northwest Florida Health Network and we're going to talk
about chat bots and how useful they are, how dangerous
they are or are not. Can they be rained in?
Can they be kept on the rails? Chat GPT is

(25:33):
clearly off the rails despite their efforts to keep it
on the rails, and it's leading to people committing crimes
and killing themselves. When we come back, I want you
to hear the story of a listener of the Morning
Show had a friend write him. He shared it with me.

(25:55):
We're not going to disclose any names, but it's going
to be helpful for you who have kids that are
online gamers. This is a world that intersects. The gaming
world intersects with the chatbot world because both are dealing

(26:16):
with a false reality, and the inability to detect the
differences is what we're talking about. Remember, the shooter of
Charlie Kirk was an intense gamer, the whole group. And
you live in these fantasy worlds and you repeat things,

(26:37):
and you have things repeated to you often enough, lines
start to get blurred, things start to lose, meaning, reality
ceases to exist. You form your own reality. This is
a really important conversation we're going to have and we're
going to tee it up next with a story from

(26:58):
a listener here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
This came courtesy of the listener of the Morning Show

(27:22):
and this is just for parents that don't know. Friend
called a listener of the program last week very upset
his fourteen year old son suddenly experiencing mental crisis. Son
is on the spectrum a bit considered autistic. After getting

(27:44):
referred to a counselor, he was diagnosed with sudden onset
gender dysphoria. So my friend has now been doing some
research finding the best way to assist his son. Immediately
pulled him away from quacks, found the best psychiatrist in
the Dallas Fort Worth area to assist with treatment. His

(28:06):
son is a big gamer who spends a lot of
time in chat rooms while playing video games. This is
where the initial seed was planted. It's our belief that
these groomers are going after the autistic and socially awkward
people because it just makes it a little bit easier
for targeting. Live action video games where you can chat
with strangers, makes this targeting much easier. We also found

(28:30):
it very interesting. The goalpost of transgenderism is now being moved.
For years, we've always heard I was just born into
the wrong body, blah blah blah. This gender dysphoria has
been a lifetime in the making. One of the quacks
mentioned to my friend, well, wouldn't you rather have a
live daughter than a dead son? Typical liberal pseudoscience response.

(28:54):
The listener points I'm taking away according to some liberal
health professionals. Professionals, you now suddenly can become transgendered groomers
are running out of targets using the old, tried and
true methods. You were born this way. Three, they will
always keep changing the rhetoric to suit their needs. And four,

(29:16):
always monitor your children's communications on every platform, games, text,
social media. Then you sent me a follow up. Had
another conversation with my friend after I sent this email.
Apparently the diagnosis is real. But in his words, these
groomers are getting into these kids' heads and basically causing

(29:38):
mental illness. The kids are going to little nuts, which
is easy for a fourteen year old to do. This
is predatory behavior. This is predatory behavior. This is classic. Parents.
If you don't know sure, your son may be just

(30:02):
gaming with his buddies and they're just good friends and
they have a good time and they move on. But
how addicted is your son to the video time? Or
your daughter? Daughters not so much. This is usually young men.
Usually how addicted are they? The reason why I ask

(30:24):
is if they are so addicted to the gaming and
the environment, eventually the buddies won't be available, but they'll
need the game, and that's when they'll meet people they
don't know. The addiction leads to the vulnerability. Addiction always

(30:45):
says you're in control when the addiction is in control,
and this is an addiction. Parents be advised. When we
come back, we're going to connect some doc. We're going
to talk about this subject broadly with an expert. Here

(31:05):
on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Welcome to the
second hour Tuesday, here on the Morning Show, September the
sixteenth show, five thousand, four hundred and fifty three. Jose's

(31:32):
over there in Studio one A. I am here in
Studio one B, and I am pleased to have with
me Mike Watkins. He is the CEO of the Northwest
Florida Health Network. Mike, welcome to the program. How are
you Whoops, I'm sorry. It always helps to answer the phone.
Hi Mike, Sorry about that.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Hey Preston, good morning, Glad to be here.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Let's kind of set the stage here or by explaining
to people a little bit about the Northwest Florida Health Network.
What is it?

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, I've been doing this work for about thirty four
years and hearing the Panhandle. What I like to say
is from Pensacola, perrea as in counties and in those counties,
we're really unique in that we're the only company in
the country there's a nonprofit that manages all the money
for subspuse, mental health and foster care adoption. So we

(32:29):
kind of have the whole ball of waxed and then
we turn around and use community organizations to do that
direct care in a way that reflects the values of
the Panhandle.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
How do you determine what you do, where you do it,
and how it gets done.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean we have, as you know, you interviewed
them all the time. We have a wonderful delegation. The
folks in the legislature really set forth the criteria of
what is abuse and neglect and the State of Florida
by law, under what conditions of the state can get involved.
So if the state does remove a child, obviously we've
become involved to try to take care of them, do

(33:10):
them foster parents some in the rare cases, you know,
adoption when it comes to substitutes mental health things that
we talk about on the daily, like you know Baker
ax are counseling outpatient and patient, all those things are
really set forth in the Florida Statutes.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Our conversation is coming about in fairness, I think it's
important for people to know because I was sent a
flyer that was found in a local library and it
was from the Northwest Florida Health Network and it deals
with a chat bot named Tests, and I offered some

(33:49):
thoughts relative to our conversations from stories in the news
about some relative dangers of chat bots, especially stories that
we've chronicled here even this morning on program Mike tell
Us about Tests and why this flyer exists.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Yes, sir, we do have I think some distinctions to
make here. The chat bot is a free resource across
the panandle. It was intended for folks that could not
get access to a counselor mental health services. This is
not mental health, it's more coaching and wellness to try

(34:29):
to get them to the next person, a live person
that can help them in this particular case, it's very explicit.
I think this is a distinction that I want to
make sure your listeners new is this is not generative
at AI. So I know there's a lot of folks
out there doing AI. I think it's a race, you know,

(34:49):
to see who can take over the world. Gemini Chat, GPT,
you know, grock, all of those things are true AI platforms.
This chat bought is essentially I'm scripted at some side
of you know, walls for a better lack of a
better word, that says exactly what can be said or

(35:13):
interacted with the user on the other end.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I think we need to maybe explore that just a
little bit deeper. So hang in there with me, Mike.
Mike's gonna stick around for another segment or two. He's
CEO for the Northwest Florida Health Network. Perhaps they have
a framework where this kind of technology makes sense, And
as he explained, there's a distinction here in what they're doing,
and I thought it was fair for me to give

(35:38):
them an opportunity to explain the difference between what this
is and what we're reading about in the news. So
we're gonna talk more next on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott

(36:04):
back with Mike Watkins with Northwest Florida Health Network, and Mike,
I think that's you're you're drilling into the key here
and the distinction. When someone sees a flyer like this,
I think they need to understand a little bit deeper
when you when you talk about, in my words, not yours, guardrails.

(36:27):
That's what I'm kind of hearing you say that this
is not an AI interactive program that's off the chain
that can kind of do what it says, interpret things
its own way. You have basically programmed answers for specific questions.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Is that fair, Yes, sir, it's it's a predetermined script,
so we already understand exactly what can and can't be
said in terms of what the boundaries are guardrails, as
you pointed out.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
So if someone reaches out and makes this phone call
a kid, you know, it's it says chat any time
day or night test is available, they're going to they
a kid might not get an answer that they're looking for.
They're they're going to get something within the parameters of
the scripting.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yes, sir, that's the intent, you know we have. There's
a couple of things. I think that's context we'll here rus.
Number one is, you know, ninety five percent of the
kids thirteen to seventeen have access to a smartphone, right,
That's been prevalent since about twenty fifteen. So when you
look at all of the literature, they have the devices,

(37:34):
and they have the access and they may not have
buy the other things or spend time on the other things,
but they're going to spend time on this. We know
that for a fact. Our intent here was to try
to bridge the gap for you know, folks that couldn't
get help or have someone to talk to. And I
think there's two things that would point to that impacted

(37:58):
our decision. One it was, you know, during COVID and
a lot of people were at home, right, they weren't
going to school, they weren't going to work, those kinds
of things, even in Florida. Number Two, you know, I
grew up in Walsall. I don't know if you know
where that is in Washington County, but there's not a
lot of mental health counsels in Walsall. And I was
fortunate enough to have a father in the home or

(38:19):
you know, marine and retired law enforcement. So I had
that structure. I had that person, you know, to hold
me accountable and have the engagement. A lot of these
kids don't. And that's just the sad truth.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I think that what you're doing makes sense as you're
explaining it. I think I understand the concern that a
parent would have stumbling upon just seeing chat bot and
not knowing some of the distinctions that you're describing. Is
that a fair observation, Mike, It's absolutely fair.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
In fact, I was just with the Attorney General and
Sheriff A. J. Smith, and if I could just the
equipped shout out, you know, you know, please pray for
Sheriff Smith, who's undergoing a kidney transplant this morning. He's
weighing heavily on my mind, you know, and a friend
and to Franklin County and the Penhandle. So with that said, uh,

(39:16):
they just did Operation Summer Hurricane down in Franklin County
and they need, you know, a dozen or so bad
guys trying to meet up with our kids. And during
the course of that discussion, you know, the question came out,
you know, how do I protect my kids online? And
there's a number of resources on the FDL website. There's

(39:37):
a number of resources on the Training Journal's website, so
I would point folks there. But basically the message that
we came up with was, you know, plan, check, and protect,
and we're trying to think of something to get parents
engaged that they need to plan around what devices they
have and what apps they have. They need to check

(39:57):
those devices about who's messaging their kids and what are
they saying. Ultimately, they can protect their kids online. And
Preston Uh, you have pointed out the very first step.
There needs to be a plan. Parents should be asking
these questions. They should be asking me and others, teachers

(40:17):
and coaches and and and and their you know, their neighbors.
You know what is this about, how does it work?
What are the limitations on it? That is one of
the key elements to protect their kids online.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Mike stand by. I want to are you good to
hang out for a few more minutes?

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah, I'll stay as long as you want to stay perfect.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Mike Watkins every day awesome. Mike Watkins with me from
Northwest Florida Health Network. I think you know, this is
a topic. Friends. We we broached this a lot, and
sadly more in recent years as we've watched it happen.
And and I want to try to take this a
step further, and I really want to challenge you moms
and dads. Look, there's a reason why we're drilling down

(40:59):
into this right now at this time in the show,
because you're either getting up in the Central time zone
and getting your kids ready for school, or you're taking
your kids to school. And we structured this program so
that we could be friendly to parents with kids in
the car. And we cannot underscore the dangers that are

(41:20):
out there and the importance of all of this. So
we're gonna talk some more next with Mike. Next on
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Final segment with Mike
Watkins Northwest Florida Health Network, we're talking about what's going

(41:44):
on with kids these days primarily, I mean, really that's
the issue. Why do young people turn to chatbots?

Speaker 4 (41:54):
Well, I think you know, that's where they are. You know,
that's like asking, you know, why are the kids on
a swing while they're at the park. You know, And
when we were growing up, that's where the kids were,
so ninety five percent of all the kids have thirteen
to seventeen have a smartphone. It's very accessible, it's affordable
now you can get in the US market. So that's
where the kids want to be. That's where their social

(42:15):
network is. I think one of the dangers of that,
of course, is how they use it, that you've rightfully
pointed out, and the fact that it's not just in
the old days. You know, we were talking pressing. You're
worried about, you know, the creepy guy at the park
or the creepy guy down the street. This device allows,
you know, any person in the world, any creep in

(42:36):
the world, can reach out and touch your kid.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
And once someone starts getting into that door, then not
only are they sowing confusion, not only are they sowing doubt.
Not only are they picking off the vulnerable, they can
radicalize them.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Well, they're they're subject to to whoever's on the other
end of that. So whether that's messaging or chatbot or
whatever the case may be. You know, we talked about
plan check to tech because or protect because you know,
parents aren't filling that role. They may not know how
to do that role. They may not know how to
use Snapchat or Instagram or Twitter. I certainly have my

(43:18):
challenges on that. I don't have all those platforms. I
got four daughters twenty eight, nineteen, seventeen, and eleven, So
we've been through this a couple of times. But the
world changes every day, yep, and you got to ask
yourself what can the parent do to stand between you know,
the bad guys and their kids.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
So if we look at tests the chatbot that you
promote out there, it is, to maybe simplify, it is
a bridge that you make available twenty four to seven
to a kid that might be in crisis to get
them to a live help, a counselor person that can
assist them. Is that Is that about accurate?

Speaker 4 (44:00):
It exactly? And we tied it to the Appalachi Center,
who's one of our and full disclosure, one of our
major you know contractors. Okay, they have a twenty four hours,
seven days a week line, So any emoji or any
statement of self harm or harm to others are going
to be you know, forwarded to the Appalachi Center for

(44:20):
review and ultimately that could result in a welfare check
or you know, a law enforcement officer going out to
that house if they don't voluntarily accept that help. I
mean we built that intentionally, that design intentionally there because
we did not We wanted to do the opposite of
what your concern was. We wanted to protect and preserve

(44:43):
life and not facilitate in any way.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
What would in in closing You and I talked in
the break about this. Obviously, parents, if you've got young kids,
demand transparency and openness so that it is custom, that's
what you do, so that when their teams and queens,
it's just what mom and dad do. It's not an
insult to them. But Mike, you know this, kids that
are already in that stage of they got this privacy.

(45:10):
When you walk in the door, the laptop goes down,
or the tablet goes dark, or whatever the case might be.
What advice do you give parents?

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Well, I think you know this has been heavy on
my mind the last week with the Charlie Kirk event,
and he talked about salt and light. You know that
salt has to be that wisdom as parents, both of
us are parents of girls, that you're engaged, you spend
the time, and that you provide that wisdom whenever possible.
And I think we agree that needs to happen early on.

(45:41):
It's harder the longer, the further you go, yep. And
then there has to be light. There has to be
light and transparency on an accountability on behavior. You would
never allow your kid to go to certain people's houses.
Why in the world would you allow them to go
to certain locations on the internet? Are the web where

(46:02):
you know they're at risk of harm? So as parents,
I think we've got to look at those resources. Doctor
Jonathan Hey, doctor Warren Ferrell, you know, the Surgeon General
advisor on Social Media and youth and try to arm ourselves.
Reminds me the armor of God if he is six
and thre eighteen, how do we armor ourselves so that

(46:23):
we can protect our children?

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Good stuff, Mike, and I'll remind parents, you're paying for
the phone. It's yours, it's not theirs. Mike, thanks very
much for the time this morning. I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Yeah, sir, thank you pressing.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Mike Watkins with us from the Northwest Florida Health Network
And again I thought it was important to give him
an opportunity to explain that chatbot program. I feel very
good about it. I hope that future flyers assure and
assuage any concerns that a parent might have upon stumbling

(46:58):
on it, because I'm not sure does that. But I
love what they're trying to do and leveraging technology with
guardrails smart way to do it. Twenty seven past the
Hour being Joe with Preston Scott. They're gonna get them.

(47:19):
I'm just reach switch knock knock. Who's the ash on
WFLA US Congressman Kat Camick in a half hour mainly
minute coming up in a little bit, Big stories in

(47:43):
the press box time. Washington Post editor fired for justifying
the Charlie Kirk assassination. There are a couple of very
interesting points here. One the Washington Post actually fired him.
The wappo are they growing a conscience? Or have we
now walked into territory where even a lot on the
mainstream left, I mean MSNBC sent a guy packing. Are

(48:09):
people some on the left finally saying this is too far? Okay?
I applaud that we're growing a conscience out there. Awesome,
but I want you to listen to this. The Global
Opinions editor Karen Attia. She appeared to celebrate the assassination

(48:33):
of Charlie Kirk. She reacted to the shooting by posting
this on her blue Sky account. This is what she
posted in quotes Black women do not have the brain
processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go
steal a white person slot hashtag Charlie Kirk. Now, the

(48:57):
attempt to justify the assassination, that's that's contemptible. What's beneath
contempt Kirk never said it, It's total complete fabrication. She

(49:21):
then goes, this is the right wing cancel culture. So
they're trying to say so if a columnist of a
newspaper can't make up a quote to smear someone who
was assassinated, are any of us truly free? No, no,
you're not. You're not free to make up crap. And

(49:43):
so she's now trying to make herself a victim. Uh
huh nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. She
tried to justify it, and she lied in order to
try to do it. Boy, that how far are we
from Duke Lacrosse? You remember? You remember the Duke lacrosse

(50:10):
team was accused of gang raping a black girl who
then later admitted she lied and made it all up
ruined those kids' lives, closed the team down because she
was believed because she was a victim, and she lied

(50:32):
about the entire thing. And here we are three I
think that was in the nineteen nineties. Here we are
thirty years later, the same crap just lies, making crap up,

(50:54):
pulling done. Do you generally consider it to be acceptable
or unacceptable for a person to be happy about the
death of a public figure they oppose? Only? Thirty eight
percent of Democrats find it unacceptable always, always unacceptable, thirty

(51:19):
three percent usually unacceptable, eighteen percent not sure, seven percent
usually acceptable, it's usually acceptable, four percent always acceptable. Republicans
seventy seven percent always unacceptable, always, Just illustrating what I've

(51:47):
said all along on the right side of the aisle,
there is some form of a moral compass that guides us,
not always successfully. We have our flaws, and we have
our extremists that are embarrassing and that we condemn. FBI

(52:08):
investigating seven different online accounts for direct fore knowledge of
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They knew about it and
said nothing, did nothing. They will if this is proven
that they had knowledge, If they connect these dots, they
will be charged. In my opinion, good good. What we're

(52:30):
seeing is the LGBTQ transgender extreme side. And again, if
you are in that world and you don't you want
no part of that, well then prove it. Come away
from it. Hey, you do you But the bottom line

(52:57):
is you don't kill people for a post ideas. You
separate yourself. It's up to you. Otherwise, you're gonna own it. Democrats,
You're going to own this. Talk more about that in
the coming days. It's it's on you to disprove and
to distance. It's up to you. One thing on the

(53:23):
X page, I had so many people send it to me.
Greg Guttfeld goes off on the five yesterday. In fact,
there are a few bad words in it. Greg Guttfeld
said a few things on national television of late that
will get the FCC's attention. These are the minor things
that he said that won't get the FCC's attention but
are just not safe for kids. But Greg Guttfeld goes

(53:46):
off on this two sides thing. You got to see
it for yourself on the X page at TMS Preston
Scott forty one minutes oof forty two minutes past the.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Hour This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
You've gotta be kidding. California passes mask band for federal
immigration agents. That's not gonna work. That's like saying undercover
officers can't be Now, really, there are so many grounds

(54:35):
to file an appeal on that one. That's you can't
do that. Then you can't have unmarked police cars, you
can't have undercover officers. Sorry, can't protect the identities of
people working to solve crimes. Can't do that. No, that's
just it's it. I mean, really, why does anyone want

(55:05):
to live in that god forsaken state? Because it's God
forsaken and there's people that have a heart for it.
I get it, I get it. It's not god forsaken.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
I just.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Open carries constitutional in Florida as of today. As of yesterday,
the Florida law prohibiting it. First Florida First District Court
of Appeal ruled the state's open carry band is banned,
is unconstitutional, and it conflicts with the Second Amendments guarantee

(55:47):
you the right to bear arms. Now, I'm going to
stress something here, and it's okay if you disagree with me,
you're just wrong. Don't open carry carry concealed unless you're

(56:14):
one of those lizards or flies that have like eyes
all around your head. You just open yourself up to
be a target. Private businesses can ask you to leave.
They can. They're foolish too, but they can. There are

(56:36):
places you are not allowed to carry, period. I don't
agree with the fact that you are not allowed to
carry on a college campus, but you can't. You cannot
open carry on it. Don't try it, you'll get arrested.
But open carry tactically is just foolish. You lose your

(56:58):
advantage and you're the first person that's going to be
picked off if something happens. It just tactically is foolish. Well,
I have a right. Yeah, you have a right to
be stupid. You absolutely do, so go right ahead. Do
I think you ought to have that right? Absolutely I do.

(57:18):
To me, this is about you can't tell me you
can't restrict a right that I have. But that doesn't
mean that I'm going to express that right. Kerry concealed.
You can do it without any kind of background check
or anything. You're allowed to in Florida. Now I have

(57:43):
my CCW and will continue because I like the reciprocal
agreements with other states. I like being able to purchase
firearm and walk out with it. I don't like waiting,
so I'm going to continue. But that's a win. I

(58:04):
think I'm hearing rumblings that there are some Florida Republican
lawmakers that are already trying to figure out a way
to scuttle this put limits on it. Well, your fools.
If you do now, really, you're fools. You're absolute blooming idiots.
Any lawmakers in Florida that try to do that. But

(58:27):
I've already had it demonstrated enough with other issues to
know that political wisdom and doing the right thing is
sometimes very, very distant from the controlling party. Forty eight
minutes after the old come back with a mainly minute,
little tidbit that'll make you laugh and more. Guy, do

(58:47):
what you're talking about. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Time for another manly minute. Remember mail by birth, man

(59:09):
by choice. We're seeing examples all over the country of
males who choose not to be men. Teach your son
the dangers of addiction to online First Dad's model it

(59:37):
don't be addicted to video games yourself, but make sure
that your son understands boundaries. Make sure that he understands
that's not real, and that he limits his time willingly.

(59:58):
That he is a well rounded young man. That he
works in the yard with you, that he helps his
mom get some things done around the house, that he
helps his sisters, that he does things with his friends.
That he he learns the different skills and traits needed
to be a man, learns how to fix things, learns

(01:00:19):
how to change light bulbs, filters, whatever the case might be.
If you're busy doing those other things, you truly don't
have time to play video game hour upon hour upon hour.
But make sure your son understands the dangers that are
in there and that openness and transparency with mom and

(01:00:46):
dad is a virtue hiding. Be careful parents, Be careful
if your kid starts hiding, you don't don't want that
to grow. I'm a big fan of Barney Fife's wisdom

(01:01:07):
nip it in the bud. My all in favor of
but nipping So there you go. Saw this and I
just I had to save it. Florida radio station Fort
Myers w h e L Radio using the slogan make

(01:01:31):
Country great Again. They call it Trump Country ninety three
point seven. Their ratings tripled after they rebranded. That's awesome.
They've got a Trump impersonator doing voices. I don't know

(01:02:00):
what Trump thinks of all this, and perhaps he'll have
something to say about the use of his image AI
generated that they're using. But for the time being, I
think it's outstanding. Trump Country ninety three seven in Fort Myers.
Give it a listen if you're down there and check

(01:02:21):
it out. All right, we're gonna come back you as
Congresswoman Kat Camick will join me next. We will get
her thoughts on the last few days here in America.
That and more on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:02:49):
Five Past the Hour eight is the third hour The
Morning Show with Preston's Gott. Good morning friends. I'm Preston.
That is Jose. Good to be with you this morning, Tuesday,
September sixteenth, and I'm pleased to have back with US
US Congresswoman Kat Camick, Florida's third congressional district, Cat.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
How are you, Good morning, my friend. I wish that
you could see the scene right now because I have
the most adorable one month old a sleep on me
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Awe and now see now I feel terrible bringing up
bad subjects.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
Oh no, no, see, we've got to fix all the
bad stuff so that she and all of the little
youngins can grow up without dealing with this nonsense. So
they make it all worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
And Kat, I don't think I'm going too far to
say that the tragedy of last week impacted your daughter,
impacted my kids, impacted my grandchildren, impacted young and old
in this country in a way that we haven't seen
quite honestly since doctor Martin Luther King's assassination. Give me

(01:03:54):
your thoughts, you.

Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
Know last week obviously, I mean it translates across time
what happened last week. Truthfully, I knew Charlie. I worked
with Charlie. Charlie was a friend, and it has been
really really hard, no doubt about it, and reminded daily, truthfully,

(01:04:18):
not just of you know, tributes, individuals and the things
that are happening to honor and remember him. But a
good example, just yesterday I went to text my chief
of staff, who's also named Charlie, and as I typed in, Charle,
you know the char the first name that popped up
in my phone to send a message to was Charlie

(01:04:39):
Kirk and his picture popped up, and once again I
found myself rereading all of our messages and we had
just a couple of weeks ago been talking about a
bill that we were working on and how we were
going to work to advance it, and it just it
hits home. And the thing that is so in credible

(01:05:00):
to me about his legacy that of course we all
know now. I mean, it goes without saying we have
a responsibility to carry it on. We have to grow
the message, grow the movement, and do more. But the
thing that really hit home to me in the last
few days is what he built and the power of
what he did in telling the truth. And if we

(01:05:23):
don't move that forward and keep the conversation going, then
we are doing a disservice to everything that he tried
to do. And it just goes to show the power
of a single person and what they are capable of.
It wasn't just a national movement, this is a global movement.
You're seeing people across the globe mourning his death and

(01:05:47):
you think about the organization turning point. Last week was
the turning point for us.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
I use the word inflection point. I think that we
have reached one. And that's why. You know, as I
look at for example, there are a lot of companies
that are saying, no, we're not going to employ I mean,
we were talking last hour about the Washington Post fired
somebody for their comments about Charlie Kirk, MSNBC fired somebody.
These are organizations that historically don't do that. And I

(01:06:17):
feel like we've seen something different. This is a different
type of cancelation. This isn't well they think differently than
I do on an issue. We're going to out them. No,
we're outing people that celebrate the death of another human
being who engaged in civil discourse. That to me is
grounds for termination.

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):
And you know, I've seen I've seen some discussion we'll
say about these people who put these comments out there.
They make these they make these statements, and I think
a couple of years ago, even a couple of weeks ago,
it would have been tolerated. We don't have to tolerate

(01:06:58):
that anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
I am a little bit on the concern side that
we are going to see more of a censoring as
a result of this. We cannot because this is it
would be a disservice to what Charlie was trying to do.
He fought for freedom of speech. If we engage in
what the left has done in full blown cancel culture,

(01:07:23):
to the point of shutting someone down and censoring them,
that is not what he would have wanted. But I
have said repeatedly, we don't have to tolerate these people,
and these companies that are firing these people for what
they're saying, they are not tolerating it either, And so
we have to honor his legacy by engaging in civil discourse,

(01:07:45):
in the dialogue, in the conversation. Now quite frankly, they
are sinners, savables, and saints, And when it comes to
the centers of this discussion, in this moment in time,
who are cheering for the death of someone who they
just don't agree with politically, I don't know if you
can night with the unite with those people. I mean,
I think there's a mental illness that they have that

(01:08:09):
you just can't fix. But we have to be better
than what they have done. And I think the overwhelming
majority of Americans they find what they have seen in
the last couple of days reprehensible, disgusting, and they don't
want any part of it. So we could be seeing
the final throes of the left as we know it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Kat Cammick with me us, congresswoman from Florida's third District,
My guests, eleven past the hour.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Kat Cammick with me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Us congress woman from Floria's third District and kind enough
to carve out time a couple times a month to
talk about things, and right now we're focused on the
aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You mentioned the
Democrat Party. I think it's interesting because this is once
again showing the growing divide between old school rational liberals

(01:09:15):
Democrats and the new modern extremist, illiberal, violent side of
the party. What's your hunch. What are people telling you
that are Democrats? Because I know, I know you guys,
you're you. You are able to talk and converse, and
maybe it's not for publication in terms of who's saying what,

(01:09:36):
But but Kat, what are Democrats on the other side
of the aisle saying to you in the wake of
Charlie's killing.

Speaker 6 (01:09:44):
I'll tell you exactly what the scene was. Yesterday we
held a vigil for Charlie inside the Capitol inside Statuary Hall.

Speaker 5 (01:09:53):
And.

Speaker 6 (01:09:55):
Uh, there was a gathering point where we all we
all come together, and then we were walking into Statuary Hall.
Only three Democrats showed up. Three virtually every Republican I
was there, but I sat talking to two of the
Democrats because I was actually pretty appalled that Moore had

(01:10:19):
not shown up. And one is actually someone who I've
worked with quite a bit on healthcare issues, and it
was Debbie Dingle from Michigan. And I walked up to
her and I said, Debbie, I appreciate you being here.
Thank you. And she said, what has happened and where
we are at is the most horrible thing, and we

(01:10:39):
have to It is so important that we're here, and
she said, I'm disappointed that more aren't. And I got
into an elevator about an hour later after votes, and
I'll tell you there was some Democrats in the elevator
and they were making comments that were absolutely horrible, talking

(01:11:06):
about how they couldn't believe that the you know, the vigils,
the outpouring, who was this guy if people really knew
who he was, and that just I'm telling you there
is something broken with the regressive left. They are not progressive.
They are the regressive left, and there's something that is

(01:11:28):
mentally broken with these people where they think that it's
okay to cheer for the death of a political opponent
who didn't do anything wrong. He literally was telling the
truth and engaging in the debate that we all claim
to support right and for them, they don't want the debate.
They just want you to shut up, that's what it is.

(01:11:50):
And because he spoke out, because he was effective, they
wanted to silence him. I don't know where we went
wrong where people in this country can just to fy
this type of political violence. It's never okay on any side.
But the fact that you have sitting members of Congress
who say these discussing things is horrible. The people who
have made a horrible comments. Yeah, your employers should know

(01:12:13):
what you're about, and I think you should be held
accountable for that. When I had many and many death
threats against me, their employers were absolutely finding out what
they were doing, and many people lost their jobs as
a result. I think it's that personal responsibility that has
been lost in this country and the fact that behind
a keyboard you feel emboldened to say whatever the heck
you want. I think that we have people now who

(01:12:36):
are saying, no, no, we're going to call you on
it because the right we've always played nice, and I
think that we've hit that moment where we're not going
to play nice anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Cat stand by Kat Camick with us for another segment.
It's sixteen passed the hours the Morning Show back with

(01:13:11):
Cat Kamick, US, congresswoman from Florida's third District. Congresswoman. It
almost seems insensitive to say, Okay, what does Congress do next?
Because this is such a unique time, So how do

(01:13:32):
you proceed with the business of running the country and
not allowing what happened to Charlie to do anything but
galvanize and inspire.

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
So a couple of things on that one. Again, as
more is uncovered, we know that he had a roommate
romantic relationship with an individual who was trans once again,
and you're seeing where someone who has been on the
hormone therapies, who has been in that space, has been

(01:14:10):
a part of a massive, horrible situation. Just like we've
seen shooters in the last couple of months who have
identified as trans, we're now seeing the dark side of it.
And we have been fighting in Congress to actually one,
protect minors so that people can't do the experimental surgeries

(01:14:30):
and the drugs on them. Certainly taxpayer shouldn't be funding
it and so making it one prohibiting it. But then two,
also you have the graduate medical education where these major hospitals,
it's a source of funding for them. So we're cutting
off funding. That is the first thing. The second thing

(01:14:51):
is and you and I were just talking a little
bit in the break about how there could be more
in this effort that should be uncovered. I absolutely think
so no one gets radicalized to this point without anyone knowing.
And I had talked about this on the media last week.

(01:15:13):
We have an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, yes, but
people turn towards social media, and in this case, this
kid was on discord, and so we're looking into what
was said, who knew, and where there were cracks. Right.
It also speaks to the fact that there is a
security problem myself and you know this fifty three credible

(01:15:35):
death threats over the last couple of months. We've been
getting some very ominous phone calls here in the last
twenty four hours. I think this is the wake up call.
And I've heard my colleagues say it before. It's well
established that we believe that one of us has to
get shot and killed before there would be action taken

(01:15:55):
to protect members and their families. You look at Charlie
kirk Hewing's behind a young wife, two very very young children.
We have to do better in terms of the realities
of where we are most members at this point, no
open air events. Security is tightening up, But in the

(01:16:16):
last twenty four hours I've been getting calls from people
saying constituents saying we don't want more security around members,
and it's a little bit of a chilling effect. The
situational ethics that people subscribe to now is very concerning,
particularly for my colleagues on the left, where they're like, well,

(01:16:37):
in this case, it was a Republican who was shot
and killed, so it's okay that we don't have an
outrageous response, but when it happens to the other side,
it's a totally different ballgame.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Oh yeah, we need it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
Blows my mind. So right now Congress is looking at
those three big things, right the cracks in the communication,
the trans issue where miners have been basically experimented on,
which I think years from now, people will look back
and say, what in the heck were people doing? How
did they allow that to happen? And then, of course,

(01:17:12):
I think it's going to radically change how government operates.
I think you're going to see a much tighter security
structure around members, their families, their staff, their teams. It's
shaken everybody to their core, to the point where a
lot of members are saying, you know what, I'm done.
You have staff members who are saying, you know what,
I signed up to help people, and they're thinking whether

(01:17:35):
or not they should be in public service or not.
We have to do better as a society. Charlie was
a builder. He wasn't a wrecker. We all need to
be builders in our own way in supporting our community
and getting back out there and fighting for our community,
for our republic. This is the turning point. This is
the turning point.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Kat I'll offer this and closing and thank you again
for your time, and if you don't mind them, I
ask you to hang on the phone line for about
thirty seconds when we're done here. One more thing I
want to share, but maybe take all of the things
that Charlie espoused that are legislative in nature, things that
Congress ought to be doing or thinking. That's so many

(01:18:18):
millions of young people, and now not just young people
people are hearing about. How about we take advantage of
this and bundle into one big, beautiful Wait no, let's
call it something else and call it the Charlie Kirk Bill,
and let's put some sweeping legislation together. Bundle it and
because kids are going to identify with whatever that legislation is,

(01:18:40):
because it's stuff Charlie talked about. I think there's I
think there's something you can do.

Speaker 6 (01:18:44):
I think that's a great idea. That's a beautiful idea.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Charlie Kirk is a hero, and I'm grateful that he
was a friend of yours. Kat. That makes my heart happy.
Stand by cat Camick Us Congress swimming from Florida's third District,
my guest here on the Morning Show. How good is she? Man?

(01:19:26):
I hope? I know. Sorry. I know you people appreciate
you people. I know you appreciate guests that we have
managed to secure over the years that inform us and

(01:19:46):
enrich us. I am not naive enough to think that
there's a bunch of Cat Camicks out there, and honest
to god, that's why she's on this show because there
are aren't many like her. When I first saw her,

(01:20:09):
when she was newly elected, given a press conference, taking questions,
sharing her story, sharing her philosophies, I immediately it was
just a this young lady has the right stuff. She's

(01:20:31):
got herself anchored to the right things, and I just
I hope that you get it, that you appreciate the
value that we bring, and the fact that we have

(01:20:57):
had the favor to have her on not just monthly,
but now every other week, well twice a month at
their request. I was like, heck, yeah, I didn't want
to ask. I didn't. I mean, yeah, I don't want
to be you know that guy, you know you want
to do our show like like twice a month now.

(01:21:18):
I was just like, yeah, I just think so highly
of her. There are a few members of Congress that
I know have our back. And her district is nationwide.
She may be elected by the third district of Florida.

(01:21:38):
Her district is nationwide. And you know why I can
say that, because she's the only Congress congressional representative from
Florida that does not accept earmarks. She doesn't ask for him,
she doesn't ask she and that immediately says she's representing everybody.

(01:21:59):
She'll always have the back of her people. Absolutely, you
see it in her newsletters. But she fights on behalf
of us as in the U period s period us
the US. That was more important than the big stories

(01:22:25):
in the press box. The big stories in the press
box are that a idiot from the Washington Post got
fired because she made up. She lied about Charlie Kirk.
She didn't just celebrate, she lied. She lied. She was
the global editor. Whatever that means was is the operable

(01:22:48):
word there. The second big story is FBI is investigating
at least seven people in their accounts and why did
they know something was going to happen on September tenth
and they bragged about it and then they tried to
delete it after it all happened. Come on, are you
really that stupid out there? You're supposed to be the

(01:23:10):
young hipsters. You're supposed to know how this all works.
You can't delete anything, you just think it just it
lets you think you've done it. There's nothing deleted, nothing's
no you got caught. Now we'll see what they knew,

(01:23:33):
and we'll see if there's a conspiratorial case to be
made by the United States federal government involving the killing
of Charlie Kirk, because everybody needs to be brought to justice, everybody.
Forty minutes past the album Your Big Story is in

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
Ink Show with Preston Scott Why.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
You're Not at the time on news Radio one hundred
point Sevenbusla.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
Think about it. Take all of the legislation that is
appropriate for Congress, not overreaching, not overstepping, but those policies
that Charlie articulated, defended, explained. Bundle them into one piece

(01:24:35):
of legislation. Call it the Charlie Kirk Bill. You immediately
draw all of the young people, including young people that
aren't voting age, that looked up to Charlie Kirk. You

(01:24:57):
bring them into the discussion, into the political discourse, and
you force those on the left side of the aisle
to make a choice. Are you gonna honor or not?
Are you going to agree that these are good ideals
or not? Yes or no. You're either going to be

(01:25:19):
on the right side of Charlie Kirk and what he
believed in, what he stood for, and what he advocated.
You're gonna be on the wrong side. They have grossly underestimated.
They meaning illiberals, the extremists, have grossly underestimated the impact
that this is having on this nation and across the world.

(01:25:41):
I go to Nick Fretis again, Virginia Representative State Representative
State of Virginia. Listen to what he dug up and found,
and then replied to listen closely with edits. Well, this is.

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
Quite the hot take.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
The best part of this whole god thing is that
he is not martyr material, so his death will mean nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
It will activate no one, it will impact few.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
It's just great.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
If it were me, I have several words that I
would use to describe you, your comments and your obvious
lack of intelligence. But I'm going to try to be
a little bit more like Charlie and explain this in
as reasonable a way as I possibly can.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
Muster.

Speaker 5 (01:26:27):
See, you think what happened was that a political leader
that you didn't like was killed, when in reality, what
actually happened was the older brother for an entire generation
of young conservatives was just murdered right in front of
their faces, right right in front of his family's faces,
and you're sitting here celebrating it. Yeah, you think, Charlie
Kirk was just somebody that showed up and kicked all

(01:26:47):
of your pass and debates. In reality, he was the
sort of guy that showed up and defended tens of
thousands of students that felt slandered, maligned, and even threatened
by their schools, their peers, their professors, their administration. Right,
and Charlie was the guy that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
Showed up for him.

Speaker 5 (01:27:02):
So that's who you murdered, right, And for older conservatives
like me, you murdered someone that we saw as the
future of the movement. But don't worry. Charlie made future leaders,
So we really don't care. If you don't see him
as a martyr, you're going to learn, probably the hard way,
that he absolutely was.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
And a sip of coffee, I'll tell you this, young lady,
if she were my daughter, I would be ashamed, absolutely ashamed.

(01:27:41):
Would I love her, of course, would I invite her
over for dinner, You bet. She'll always have a place
in the home. But I would be ashamed. I would
be ashamed of anybody clebrating something like this. I was alive,

(01:28:08):
I'll be it young. When Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated
at the Lorraine Hotel, not the Lorraine Hotel in Los Angeles,
when doctor King was assassinated at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis.
I was even younger when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

(01:28:36):
I remember, there's no justification for it and celebrating it.
I asked the question when this first happened, what's worse
the actual killing of Charlie Kirk or the celebration of

(01:28:57):
it by so many. I call it a tie. It's
a photo finish. I don't know what's worse. The race
to horrible and evil is being won by many. Forty
seven minutes past the hour, Canna come back and exhale

(01:29:21):
next in the morning show. All right, this is a

(01:29:55):
little lighter way to end the program, but still it's themed.
There's there's a theme here. The liberal extreme left kills things,
kills people, kills businesses, kills ideas, kills everything. Boy, that
sounded really light, didn't it. Way to go, Press girl.

(01:30:17):
Scouts of the USA rolling out a new cookie flavor
next year because their cookies are in load demand. People
aren't buying their cookies anymore, nearly three million dollars in
operating losses, and so they are they're roll them out

(01:30:40):
a new cookie. They're gonna try and help with that.
Now they've they've they've dumped some of their more you know,
popular cookies in recent years. But yeah, a lot of

(01:31:03):
people inside are saying, we don't have real high hopes
for the new cookies. Can I explain all of this
to the Girl Scouts of America? Y'all went woke, just
like the Boy Scouts. You're not cool anymore. We were
in this this would have been a renaissance time, old
school values maybe making a comeback with younger people, parents instilling,

(01:31:26):
you know, finding those organizations that instill those virtues in
their kids. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts of America. But y'all
went woke. And for the individual troops that did not
on the boys and the girls side, I'm sorry, you're
part of an organization that is woke. Sorry huh so uh,

(01:31:49):
just don't go woke? Correct course, correction, and your cookie
sales will boom as people love Girl Scout cookies and
they used to love supporting the Girl Scouts. Brought to
you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's the Morning.

Speaker 7 (01:32:02):
Show one on WFLA. I always hear from a Scout
that's not what my troop does. Yeah, but you you
are part of an organization.

Speaker 1 (01:32:18):
I mean that's like saying, well, my my clan doesn't
do that, We don't hate black people. You're part of
the Klan. Brother, what are you thinking? No, I'm sorry, no, no,
it's my it's my contention with being a Democrat. Can't
be a Christian and a Democrat. Sorry, you can't because
the platform of the Democrat Party is anti Christian, just

(01:32:43):
is you can't. You can't coexist in those two organizations.
Doesn't mean you have to be Republican. I keep saying
that every time. I have to say that. All right,
Tomorrow from the Heritage Foundation, Jonathan Butcher, We're talking about
Florida's report card. How's Florida's education doing. Joe Winkler will
join me, Assistant Secretary of Community Corrections for the Department

(01:33:05):
of Corrections in the Sunshine State. Also, if I remember
and don't screw it up, another edition of No Way, Jose.
The clock Jose is on the clock. The countdown has begun. Yeah,
twenty one hours from now, we're going to do it

(01:33:25):
all over again. May they uncover the depth of the
plot to kill Charlie Kirk and hold everybody responsible that
should be amen
