Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Welcome friends to Tuesday Morning Show with Preston Scott, September
twenty third. We will the story is the show has
rewritten itself. The big stories in the press box overnight
is I'm constantly you know, checking, rechecking, I'm checking during

(00:43):
the show. I mean, we just it's sort of like
being a juggler on a unicycle. You're constantly balancing the
unicycle while you've got your eyes on three different things
being juggled around, and it's like you can you can
get the visual right of the unicycle juggler. That's what

(01:06):
we're doing here. It's uh, it's crazy. And one of
the big stories, which I will get to, is that
a YouTube prophecy that has gone bunkers on TikTok by
a pastor in South Africa is that the Rapture's coming

(01:32):
today or tomorrow a vision and Jesus told him when
it was coming. I'm going to teach you as I
share the story at the bottom of the hour, but

(01:53):
let me just say this with a little with just
if God was even thinking about it pulling the rapture
today or tomorrow because this guy said what he said,

(02:18):
God would go, I'm not doing it. I'll wait. I'm
just telling you that's a stupid statement. President. Oh no,
it is not. It is, It is absolutely not, and
I will I will share with you everything you need
to know about that a little bit later. But let's

(02:38):
start with some legitimate God's word here. Galatian six, verse
one says, Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression,
you who are spiritual, should restore him in a spirit
of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself lest you two be tempted.
We're gonna pause right there. This is the rubber meeting

(03:07):
the road of the Christian walk among Christians. These words
are not for those who are not Christians. This is
a brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you

(03:29):
who are spiritual, should restore him. Restore him to what
to his Christian walk. One of the things that's happened
inside the body of Christ in the last five or
six decades is we don't want to look at each

(03:50):
other and say you can do better, you can do
better than that. Come on, now. My own theory behind
why that happens is because we don't want anyone looking
at our life. So it's kind of like I'm not
going to say anything about what you're doing, you know

(04:10):
what I mean, cheating on your wife, as long as
you don't say anything about what I'm doing watching porn. Okay,
we got it, all right? All right? Am I am?
I right? Am I right? And it's like no, no, no,
no no. See. The idea is that you say to
somebody you're you got to do better than that man.

(04:33):
Stop flirting with that that secretary of work or that
administrative assistant or that coworker. You got to stop. It's
going to lead to trouble. Stop. And you do it
from the perch of your life's in order. Your life
is in order, perfect, No, in order. Yeah, there's a difference.

(05:01):
This verse is a reminder that one of our jobs
is to police ourselves, not just us me policing me,
but that that we police each other. We've lost that,
and so the church has lost a little saltiness, if
you know what I'm saying. Ten past the hour, dive

(05:25):
into the American Patriots Almanac. Next here on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Making Sense of it All The
Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred
point seven w FLA. Some of you may have heard

(05:54):
some of you may not have heard, depending on where
you're listening to the show. Little liner in the preceding
segments said, making sense of it all. That's kind of
what we try to do here. And so as we
call the news and look at the things, we're going
to talk about, not just the news, but just sometimes

(06:15):
just some interesting stories or features, little tidbits. I've got
an auction tidbit coming up. That's pretty interesting, little snapshot
of history going up for sale. But that last story,
I mean, it's in the news. People are freaking out

(06:38):
looking up in the sky. I heard someone say I'm
engaging in rapture evangelism. What's that? Well, I'm gonna have
my hands around the collars of a few people. When
I get snatched up, I'm gonna get to about thirty
thousand feet. I'm gonna say, do you believe? Or do

(06:59):
I let? Oh? September twenty third, what do we have here?
It is sixteen forty two. Harvard College confers upaul nine graduates,
the first Bachelor of Arts degrees given in America. Sixteen

(07:20):
forty two. I wonder how much of today's graduation ceremony.
You know, the cap, the gown, the tassel, the handing
over of a diploma. I wonder how much of that

(07:41):
originated at it? Were they doing any of that at
this first ceremony or something similar? Were they were they
covering them instead of with a formed cap with a
I was a shovel of moss to put a moss
cap on him? Or did they weave something made with

(08:04):
branches or leaves or something? I don't know. Seventeen seventy nine,
John Paul Jones declares, I have not yet begun to fight. Yeah.
That it's a great battle right there, and the great
great story. Seventeen eighty John Andre British spy captured with

(08:25):
papers revealing that Benedict Arnold was planning to surrender West
Point to the British. Got to read the book, Washington's
Secret Spies. You've got to read that book. It is
brilliant snapshot of American history. Eighteen oh six, the Lewis

(08:46):
and Clark Expedition returns to Saint Louis from the Pacific coast.
And in eighteen forty five, the knicker Bocker Baseball Club
of New York, the first baseball team is organized. Isn't
that interesting? We have a basketball team called the New
York Knickerbockers the New York Knicks, but the first baseball

(09:10):
team was actually the New York Knickerbockers. Isn't that interesting?
It's the basketball team but not it's the New York Yankees,
but it's not the or the New York Mets. Fascinating,
isn't it? Also? Quickly, it is National Teal Talk Day.

(09:32):
Huh okay, that is uh that is that's about screening
for ovarian cancer. All right, fair enough. It is National
snack Stick Day. I wonder if that's Kabob's National Great

(09:59):
American Pop Pie Day, National Checkers Day, and Dogs in
Politics Day. And it is National Restless Legs Awareness Day.
And it is Inner Inner I nn er Energize Day,

(10:21):
the day after the autumnal equinox. So there you go.
Now you're caught up sixteen past the hour, Come back
with it? Did you know? And an auction that's well interesting?

(10:45):
Twenty one and almost twenty two past the hour? Did
you know that? In seventeen sixty seven, English chemists Joseph
Priestley invented the process of carbonating water. I would love
to know how how did somebody in seventeen sixty seven

(11:11):
before the birth of this country figure out how to
carbonate water. I mean, isn't correct me? If I'm wrong?
Aren't there sources of naturally carbonated water? Or am I
just mistaken? I thought there were some sources of naturally

(11:35):
carbonated water. Now what that would mean? Then if that's true,
that would mean that he figured out a way to
duplicate that process. Now, I, for one, think carbonated water
is absolutely gross. I think those carbonated water are just nasty.

(12:04):
What'd you learn? Uh? So, carbonated water is a natural
and it's because of a dissolved carbon dioxide gas in
mineral springs. That's where I thought Perrier water came from.
I thought Perrier was a natural spring water. I could
be wrong. I mean, French aeron gonna come up with

(12:25):
it on their own. But but I'm not a fan
of that of the carbonated flavored waters or carbonated waters
in any way, shape or form. It's it's just to me,
it's absolutely gross, absolutely gross. I feel like I'm I'm

(12:46):
I'm drinking something that belongs in a battery. Anyway, here's
the auction Christie's online sale October tenth through the twenty eighth.
You might want to think about bidding on this, friends.
It is the draft card of Cassius Clay, Cassius Marcellus

(13:17):
Clay Junior. It was misspelled. They did a misspell, but
it's unsigned. Famously, he would not allow himself to be
drafted into the war in Vietnam. He famously said that

(13:40):
I ain't got no quarrel with them viet Cong. He
was stripped of his boxing title, he was banned from boxing.
He went to prison. Obviously his name he changed his
name to Muhammad Ali, converted to the Islamic faith, had mistake. Eventually,

(14:08):
the United States Supreme Court overturned his conviction by a
vote of eight to nothing, eight zero. That is a rebuke,
you know. I remember a lot of people hated him
because of it. I remember that I was alive. My
brother was serving at Vietnam. Anyway, the unsigned draft cards

(14:35):
signed by an official in Louisville, Kentucky, that he refused
he was then arreested, is on public display at Rockefeller
Center in New York, has been since last Thursday. What
do you think the estimated price of this is going
to be? What they think this will bring it auction

(15:01):
three to five million dollars I've shared the story. When
I met him, I shook his hand. It was amazing.
We were I had a videographer with me. We were

(15:23):
on our way to Notre Dame to South Bend, Indiana,
and Muhammad Ali was on our flight. Might have speak engagement.
He was beginning to suffer from Parkinson's and so he
was dropped off at the tarmac. He and his wife

(15:44):
got on board the plane and pretty cool. He did
magic for everybody in the plane and then yeah, he
was incredible, slight a hand guy with his condition. He
knew everybody wanted an autograph or a picture. So what
he did is he walked down the aisle of the

(16:07):
airplane and gave everybody a chance to shake his hand
or get an autograph or take a selfie. At the time,
there weren't a lot of phones that were doing a
lot of selfies. It wasn't as big as it is now.
It was at the beginning of that age. But yeah,
and I shook his hand, said it's an honor to

(16:27):
meet you. Didn't agree with a lot of things, but
I agreed with a lot of things. And he was
a brilliant fighter and just sat and talked with his
wife sat in his seat on the plane and sat
and chatted with his wife for a while while he
was moving up and down the aisles. It's pretty cool.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, back with the big
stories in the press box. Next, okay, let's start to

(16:56):
unpack the big stories in the press box. And some
of this may require a little more time that I
had I had originally allocated. This is USA today, Joshua Malekella,

(17:17):
South African preacher. It's blown up on TikTok that the
rapture is coming today or tomorrow. Shared is quote divine
prophecy stating that Jesus appeared to him in a vision
and revealed the exact date of his return. Here's the

(17:46):
problem with that, he said, Jesus, huh see, this is
how the investigation would go, the interrogation if you will
of this, gentleman, you say you said Jesus came to
you in a vision. Hmm. That's interesting because Jesus said

(18:11):
in Matthew twenty four, beginning with verse thirty five, Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will not
pass away. But concerning that day, referring to the day
of the rapture, concerning that day and hour. No one knows,
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but

(18:34):
the Father only. Where as were the days of Noah,
so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
So Jesus didn't know when it was going to happen.
God didn't tell him. He's not asking. It's just going

(18:57):
to happen. Now, for those of you that it, what
the rap, Sure got to leave that for you to
figure out on your own, and you've got to sort
that out. I don't have time to go into the
deep theology of all of that. There's there's pre trib,
mid trib, post trib, there's all kinds of views of it.
There are people that say, oh, well, okay, you can
say what you will about what Jesus had to say

(19:18):
about it. But the bottom line is this. Earlier in
the program, I said that if even if God had
decided that this day or tomorrow is going to be
the day, because this guy claimed that Jesus told him
it wasn't gonna happen, It's not gonna happen. So everybody,
just you go about living your life for Christ, day

(19:41):
after day after day, and you let all that stuff
take care of itself. The President of the United States
tease this, and I thought it was a really bad mistake.
I thought Trump really got off the rails a little
too much at Charlie Kirk's memorial. It wasn't about him,
and he just he can't help it. It's just it's

(20:02):
who he is. And he teased the fact that there
was going to be a big announcement as it relates
to autism. They there is reason to believe that there
is a connection between Thailand al and autism. Taking Thailand
all when when women are pregnant can be a problem.

(20:25):
FDA Commissioner Marty McCarey. And we've had doctor McCarey on
this program and I and his expertise as children, he said,
we now have data we cannot ignore. Collection of studies
from Boston Birth Cohort Nurses, Health Study, Mount Sinai, Harvard
have established there is a causational relationship between pre natal

(20:47):
acidaminifin Thailand, al use and neurodevelopment disorders of ADHD and
autism spectrum disorder. Nity's pushing back on the idea that
you know Tyland Hall's manufacturer, ken View said, we believe

(21:08):
independent sound science clearly shows that taking a cit of
inefit does not cause autism. The studies might indicate otherwise,
And I think that the the the presence of it
in the numbers that we're seeing it now indicates there's
something that is commonplace contributing to this. So I don't

(21:30):
think it's unreasonable forty minutes past the hour. There's there's
more to come here in the Big Stories in the
press Box.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's the m a D Radio Network where we challenge
you to make a difference in your world.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
M a D again it, you know, try to.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Make a positive influence upon others. You know, you know,
be a good person. The Morning Show, Preston Scott still
dealing cards.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Here more big stories in the press Box. One hundred million.
That's the number watched all of our portions of the
Charlie Kirk Memorial. One hundred million. That's a third of
the country on NFL Sunday. I'm just saying, so one

(22:28):
hundred million people heard the gospel. Okay, Jimmy Kimmel's coming
back tonight. So it wasn't a suspension. It was a
long weekend. But Sinclair Broadcasting said, oh no, no, no, no, no,

(22:53):
we're not airing him Sinclair. We don't know about Next Star,
but Sinclair operates thirty ABC affiliates. Sinclair calls upon mister
Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the kirk family. Furthermore,
we ask mister Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation

(23:14):
of the Kirk family and turning Point USA. Regardless of
ABC's plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends
not to return Jimmy Kimmellive to our air until we
are confident that the appropriate steps have been taken to
uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform. Disney

(23:38):
said last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production
of the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation
at an emotional moment for our country. It's a decision
we made because we felt some of the comments were
ill timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last
days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations,

(24:00):
we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.
It should be noted that member of the Disney board
who's a big Kimmel ally try to talk Jimmy down,
but Jimmy was gonna double down the next night, and
this board member said, yeah, it was going to make

(24:21):
a bad situation worse. So they've had thoughtful discussions with
Jimmy whatever that means. Okay, we'll see not a big story,
but the story planned for the segment. Abdullah Ner Jessau
sixty five, the fifty sixth defendant to plead guilty in

(24:46):
the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. This group stole
and laundered seventeen point four million dollars in federal child nutrition.
Mind it was meant to feed hungry children during COVID nineteen. Now,
no one would ever take advantage of a federal government program. Huh.

(25:10):
This guy claimed he was serving twenty five hundred meals
a day to children, seven days a week. What they
were doing is serving a fraction of meals and basically
taking the money washing it. He took five percent, He

(25:34):
passed it out to others that were getting bribes and payouts,
and uh, yeah, no waste in government though, no, no,
no waste in government. Forty six past the hour, We're
gonna keep rolling here. Tuesday in the morning show.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Told them, don't forget, We're just reminding them. What do
you want from me, Just leave me alone. The Morning
Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point
seven Double USLA or on NewsRadio double USLA, Panama City
dot Com.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Okay, let me I'll go ahead and go go here
for just a second. You're gonna you're not gonna find
the basis for theological teaching on the rapture in Revelation.
You're gonna find it in First Thessalonians. And it's not

(26:44):
a big long thing. It is in First Thessalonians, chapter four.
And I'm not going to go into a lengthy description
of it here. What I'm going to tell you Why
are you laughing? Because I would love to hear the long,
lengthy h you know, when we're not doing that here.

(27:04):
What I will tell you is there is there are
three basic views from those that believe in the event,
and now to those that aren't, you're going to have
to take that up with what scripture says, the Bible
says it's going to happen. I tend to believe that
since the Bible has proven itself to be historically accurate

(27:24):
for thousands and thousands of years, we're not wasting words here.
There are three primary views of it. What is called
first there's a period of time that Revelation does talk about.
It's called the Great Tribulation, and this is when things

(27:45):
really go south. Now do I personally see harbingers of
that in the world today, Of course I do. I
personally believe that though the disciples after Jessus was ascended
to heaven after his resurrection, the disciples looked at the

(28:05):
times they were in as the last days. The last
days are really from the moment Christ left the earth
to now we're in the last days have been. When
you look at time through the lens of how God
views time as a day, as to the Lord is
a thousand years, Our understanding and grasp of time is

(28:30):
just totally different. But when you look at what Scripture
says is going to happen, I believe that a time
clock on the signs that you will see that will
mark these end times. I believe it began when Israel

(28:55):
reformed as a nation in nineteen forty eight. I will
predicted the Israelites the Jews would be scattered. They were
seventy eight y Jerusalem fell. There was never an israel
homeland until nineteen forty eight, and the Bible said that
that would be a marker when you see the returning

(29:19):
of the Jews from the four corners of the world,
that would be this start of this time clock that
I referred to as kind of a prophetic time clock.
So if we look at that event and then we
look at what's happened in the world since then, and
you see where we are today, how people are preaching

(29:39):
ridiculousness and heresy, how people are living lifestyles that are
just so carnal and sin and ridden, and we all
fall short. But the embrace of it, the embrace of
it inside of churches, I'm kind of like, yeah, we're
kind of here, we're seeing signs. So the great tribulation

(30:04):
is when you know, the quote Antichrist is revealed, and
you know, we think he's going to be this man
of peace, bring peace to the world, he's going to
solve the Middle East crisis, everything's gonna be hunky dory,
But he's in fact going to reveal himself as the Antichrist.
I'm of the opinion that we're not going to see

(30:24):
that happen. We're gonna be gone. But that's a pre
tribulation view of it. There's pre there's mid meaning that
there are those that believe the rapture of the Church
happens in the middle of this seven year window of time,
and there are those that believe it happens at the
end of it, that you're going to have to go

(30:44):
through it. If you're alive, you might lose your life
for your faith. Think of millions and millions of Charlie
Kirk's I can't answer that question. I will clearly says
no one knows when this is going to happen. But
that's the cliff notes version of the rapture and what

(31:10):
scripture says about it, and just a real surface level
view of what I think. So there you go. I
hope that helps. All Right, we come back. We're gonna
talk a little more about Jimmy Kimmel and all of
the controversy and did he really ever get suspended was
it just a long weekend theological discussions happening in the

(31:45):
break here. The Morning Show with Preston Scott pointed out
to Jose that God in the Old Testament preferred American
made cars. He preferred because he was constantly driving people
out in his fury, whereas in the New testament. They

(32:07):
were more into the foreign cars, the Japanese cars, Hondas
in particular, because you know, the brothers were always in
one accord. I don't know how they how they fit,
but anyway, it's the It's second hour, Sound New So
next hour we've got a manly minute. We also have
money Talk next hour as well. But first, Yeah, Jimmy,

(32:31):
Jimmy Kimmel is coming back on the air, and I'm
fascinated by the people that But this is this is
a distinction that a lot of people just don't understand.
Why was Jimmy Kimmel canceled? Well, he wasn't. He's back

(32:52):
on the air tonight, so premise gone. The premise of
that question is gone. He's returning tonight after a long weekend. However,

(33:16):
the real core issue here that I think is worth
talking about is the FCC, for good or bad, is

(33:37):
the controller of public airwaves. They sell a license to
a broadcast entity. This radio program is granted a license
by the FCC. You might have heard me say that,

(33:59):
for ex. During a hurricane or a natural disaster or
an emergency, we are designated in at least the Tallahassee region.
Perhaps we have the same designation. In Panama City, we
are designated as the FCC Emergency Outlet. Now we're probably

(34:26):
given that because of our redundancy. We have multiple radio
stations and we have towers in multiple locations which allow
us to broadcast in the event of an emergency with
the greatest likelihood of people hearing it. But with that
broadcast license come responsibilities. Now, of all the formats out there,

(34:56):
the format that I am part of offers the greatest
amount of flexibility because of the First Amendment. But in
the case of what Jimmy Kimmel engaged in, had he
couched it as a joke somehow, and I don't know

(35:19):
why you make a joke about it, but had he
gone there, no matter how distasteful it might have been,
he might have gotten away with it. But the fact is,
foregoing the advice of the great Johnny Carson, Jimmy Kimmel,

(35:42):
Stephen Colbert, to some extent, Jimmy Fallon, I mean, even
even Jay Leno has offered basically what Johnny Carson said,
don't go there, you poke fun at all politics, but
that that ship left the port long ago with Jimmy

(36:04):
Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. They are mean spirited. They have
turned their programs into fundraising mechanisms for the left, for
Democrat candidates. They belittle and make fun of they. They
weren't making a lot of fun of Joe Biden. They

(36:29):
weren't even making many jokes about his dementia, which was obvious.
Now this now to me, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert
turned They've turned the page. They are now a political program.
But in discussing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel

(36:51):
stated a complete and total lie. That night. He was
a liar. I'm sure it's happened other times. I know
it happened that night. He lied. He insisted that the
shooter of Charlie Kirk was a maga Republican and they're

(37:12):
just trying to frame this poor kid. Now there's a
video floating around saying somebody else shot Charlie Kirk. As
it relates to Jimmy Kimmel, I don't think we're through
this yet, but we'll have to see. It's eleven minutes

(37:32):
past the hour. Quick check of weather in traffic. Next
here on The Morning Show with Preston's bout the The

(38:02):
good that is coming in the days subsequent is outweighing
the bad. But the bad is really revealing itself. The
evil is really rearing its ugly head. Someone's trying to

(38:23):
identify the young lady, and she'll be identified. To what end?
I think that's where hopefully cooler minds will will prevail.
But who protests outside a funeral or immemorial? I watched

(38:49):
the exchange and I couldn't believe it. A woman, a
young lady, holding up a sign that read, it should
be public, it should be quick, it should be televised,
with red marks on her sign depicting bloodstains, as well
as another note telling attendees to rot in hell. But

(39:14):
it's what she said. A young lady walking in, a
young mom pregnant. She yelled at her, I hope your
baby dies. The young lady was saying nothing to her,

(39:36):
I hope your baby dies. When somebody heard it, she
said words words, you're getting mad over words. Another attendee

(39:57):
approached the lady, defending the mother expecting a child, and said,
what's wrong with you? What the bleep is wrong with you?
She continued to taunt in sight. And this is this

(40:22):
is the rhetoric of maybe twenty thirty percent of the
Democrat party, maybe a third, maybe a little bit more,
maybe a little less. And then a woman in Middletown, Ohio,
autumn Perkins Starbucks inside of Kroger. It's run by Kroger.

(40:48):
She wanted to have Charlie Kirk's go to drink on
Sunday evenings, so she she ordered what Charlie Kirk drank,
a mint matt just eat with two honeys on her cup.
She had an employee wrote racist fave drink. She went

(41:16):
to the manager immediately, and the employee admitted to writing it,
and the employee was immediately fired. Now Starbucks has come
out and said, you know, unacceptable. The employee was terminated,
and so forth. I might have said, I might have

(41:39):
asked to see the employee and say why did you
write this? And I might have tried to engage in
a dialogue, and I might have just hear me out.
Maybe maybe there was an opportunity for this woman to say,

(42:01):
I forgive you because you don't know what you're saying,
you don't know what you're doing. I'm leaving it up
to your supervisor, your boss. I don't want you to
lose your job. I want grace to be extended to you.

(42:22):
But I hope you learned something from this. Whatever happens,
that's up to you and your boss. And I would
have walked away and then you know, make a decision
on you know, your future coffees. But just my point
is these are opportunities as well. Right seventeen passed The

(42:48):
Hours Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well, this may not
help all of you, but this is you remember when
we I forget what it was myths, it was the greatest,

(43:13):
not myth, but the greatest conspiracy theory. We took a
bunch of calls. What's the conspiracy theory that you believe
with all of your heart? And do you remember one
of them involved organ donors and that organs are being

(43:35):
harvested from people while they're alive. This is KFF Health News.
Surgical team was about to harvest this man's organs until
his doctor intervened. The story ran on CNN as well.

(43:57):
Larry Black Junior moments away having his organs as organs
harvested when a doctor ran breathlessly into the room. Get
him off the table. The doctor told the surgical team
at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. As the team
cleaned Black's chest and abdomen. This is my patient, Get

(44:19):
him off the table. At first, no one recognized Zony
on his surgical mask. He told the team he was
a neurosurgeon assigned to Black's case. Stunned by his orders,
the team members pushed back, explaining they had consent from
the family. I don't care if we have consent. I

(44:39):
haven't spoken to the family and don't agree with this.
Get him off the table. Black was his twenty two
year old patient, had arrived at the hospital after getting
shot in the head on March twenty fourth, twenty nineteen.
A week later, he was taken into surgery to have
his organs removed for donation. Even though his heart was

(45:00):
beating and is and had not been declared brain dead,
he had neurological action in his brain. The doctor, a
thirty four year old doctor in his first year as
a neurosurgeon, intervened. Today. Black is twenty eight years old, musician,
father of three. He needs regular physical therapy for lingering

(45:25):
health issues from the gun injury, but he's haunted by
what he remembers lying in a medically induced coma. I
heard my mama yelling. Everybody was there yelling my name, crying,
playing my favorite songs, sending prayers up. He said he
tried to show everyone in the hospital room he heard them.
He recalled knocking on the side of the bed, blinking

(45:46):
his eyes, trying to show he was fighting for his life. Obviously,
Oregon transplants safe lives. Thousands die every year awaiting an
organ transplant. But this is yet another confirmed story, and
it's long. The entirety of this story is nearly twenty pages.

(46:18):
I'm all about it, but right, just but that you
can't you can't make that mistake. Thankfully, the mistake wasn't made,

(46:39):
had that doctor not heard or been on the floor.
It's over. This guy's alive. I'm showing Hose a picture
of him. He looks great. Yeah, boy. Twenty seven past

(47:03):
the hour, Big stories in the press box coming up next.
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right,

(47:25):
so Jimmy Kimmel is going to be back on the
air tonight. This is a big story. It really is.
ABC Disney's reversal on this because it's not really a suspension.
It's a slap on the wrist and a you know,
go hang out with you know, go spend some money,
take a long weekend. But Sinclair has responded Sinclair Broadcasting

(47:49):
and says, no, we're not airing his show. Now does
next Star jump in? We don't know that yet. Sinclair
is not obligated to carry the programming even though it's
an ABC affiliate, and it says, and let me quote

(48:10):
the Sinclair release. Sinclair also calls upon mister kimberle Iss,
who had direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we
ask mister Kimble to make a meaningful personal donation to
the Kirk family and turning point USA. Regardless of ABC's
plans for the future of the program, Sinclair tends intends
not to return Jimmy Kimmelive to our air until we

(48:32):
are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold
the standards expected of a national broadcast platform. That's fair,
that is the free market at work. One hundred million
is the estimated television audience of the Charlie Kirk memorial.

(48:52):
It aired not just on Fox, it aired on all
of the cable networks. And that's going up head to
head again the NFL. So will this get some kind
of notoriety as the most watched program in television this
year because normally it goes to the Super Bowl and

(49:13):
so forth NFL broadcasts. The reason why that matters is
because that means one hundred million people heard the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, not any of the phony gods that
are out there. Jesus, you had politicians who may not

(49:33):
know Jesus from third base, reading gospel accounts, reading scripture,
and exposure to the word is exposure to the word.
One hundred million. Now on that subject, TikTok is all
a flutter with a pastor from South Africa sharing is

(49:56):
divine prophecy that the rapture will take place today or tomorrow.
There's a song used to be sung in a lot
of the charismatic churches. It could be today, tomorrow, any
day now he'll appear. Jesus is gone bing in. I'm
making preparations to go back with him. Awesome. The problem

(50:21):
with this divine prophecy that he said, Jesus came to him.
Put it on a YouTube clip. Jesus came to him
and told him the exact date. Jesus said, with his
own mouth. He knows not the day or the hour

(50:42):
said it in Matthew twenty four. Jesus said it, so what, Oh,
I forgot, I knew. I know you were talking about
that other thing that I don't know. But no, Jesus said, no.
Heavenly Father God has shielded that information from even him.

(51:08):
Jesus is probably up there going, come on, Dad, come on,
tell me. I'm not gonna say anything. So God leans
over and whispers to Jesus, Okay, it's September twenty third,
maybe twenty fourth. It depends on if I can get
some things in order, we'll delay it a day. It
just depends. Now, Jesus, don't you say anything, Dad, I

(51:39):
swear to you, I swear I'm not not who. And
then He's gonna say to this guy, Okay, you can't
tell anybody where I got what, but it's coming September
twenty third, twenty fourth. Can't say it came from me though,

(52:02):
you just you calculated it on your own. So what
does this guy do? Jesus came to me, ah, whatever, Look,
I don't know when it's coming, neither to you. Jesus
didn't know. This guy doesn't know. And this guy's gonna
find he's gonna come up with some excuse you mark

(52:23):
my words, and I hope they follow up on it.
People have lost churches over this, good good good, and
President Donald Trump has announced that tailan all according to
studies that the CDC has reviewed. FDA Commissioner Marty Mcarey,
who by the way, has been on this radio program,

(52:46):
said the evidence is overwhelming. Robert F. Kennedy said, not
looking into these simple environmental, over the counter accessible potential
causation is like looking into lung cancer without checking into cigarettes.
It makes no sense. The maker of tailanol ish is

(53:10):
profusely refusing these these these ideas or or suggestions. Forty
what would you expect? Forty one minutes after the album,

(53:31):
information has come across my desk here that has got
me scratching my head and a little perplexed. Not prepared
to talk about it. You can send me stuff Preston
at iHeartRadio dot com. And my stuff. I'm not talking
about gifts or anything like that. Yeah anyway, Yeah, Preston

(53:58):
at iHeartRadio dot com.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Not not.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Prepared to talk about that yet. Here's what I do
want to ask. I just wrote this in the rundown.
What will we do? I want to circle back to
the big story. One hundred million people heard the gospel.
Last night in Minnesota, Michael knows Knowles headlined a Turning

(54:26):
Point USA event. It was supposed to be the Charlie
Kirk Lecture series. It was supposed to be Michael Knowles
and Charlie Kirk talking taking questions. Michael Knowles came out
and offered wonderful set of comments. He's a Catholic, A

(54:50):
lot of Catholics in the room, no doubt. He loves Jesus.
Took some questions. But I want to ask, Okay, one
hundred million people, what will they encounter this week? What

(55:22):
will those that watched that are not actively in church
encounter this week? What will they find when they visit church?
Some jumped right into church the second this happened to
Charlie two weeks ago, that Sunday church attendance was up.

(55:46):
Young people showing up in churches wearing their cutoffs and
their T shirts. Awesome, that's just awesome. Are they going
to be looked at with side eyes? Are we going
to welcome people? Are Are we going to seize the moment,

(56:09):
seize the day? Engage in a little carp adm or
will the church that represents and is in fact called
to be the ambassador for Christ to be the priests
carrying around the presence of Jesus wherever they go. And boy,

(56:31):
don't get me started on that responsibility. What will they
find out of that one hundred million, Absolutely a whole
bunch of them go to church. But out of that
one hundred million and a whole bunch of them that
go to church, there's some people that are not going
to church, are not revealing their christ relationship, their kinship

(56:53):
with Jesus through the week. There are people that go
to church every Sunday and quite candidly act like buttholes
all week long that show no difference, no work of
God being active in their life, no transformation. They still
cuss like sailors, they still womanize, they still look at porn,

(57:17):
they still do stupid things, they still drink like sailors.
I mean, it's it's come on. So I just wrote
in the rundown, and what will we do? One of
my sons said this to me, Dad, I don't know,

(57:40):
but but I know this, I'm gonna be bolder as
a Christian and I'm gonna be a prouder American. I
hope that translates into knowing our savior better and knowing

(58:04):
the reason why America was founded and given favor by
God to begin with. The two are connected. The favor
can be found in scripture. I can I It's there

(58:30):
for so many reasons. This is an extended inflection point.
Forty eight minutes after I'm late. I know Manly Minute
coming up.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Next the morning Joe at Preston Scott on news Radio
one hundred point seven WSLA.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Time for Manly Minute, mal by birth, man by choice,
just the way it is. Partners can't just you know,
I think I don't want to be the man. Well,
you can have that choice, but you can't have the
choice on whether you're gonna be a male, a guy.
You're born a guy, or you're born not a guy.

(59:31):
And I understand because I always I have someone that
will sometimes say to me, well, you know, there are
those that are born with anyway. These are skills, ideals, virtues,

(59:53):
thoughts that real men possess. Here's a skill seeing drywall. Now,
I myself think there's a limit to what an average
guy can can do. There's certain holes like if you

(01:00:14):
trip and fall and you bang your head into the
dry wall, good luck there, Bruddie. I mean, you know,
a hole the size of your melon in drywall because
you fell into right in between where the studs are
and it's just this massive hole. I'd call somebody, you know,
I'd make a phone call, but I don't know. We're

(01:00:36):
talking about the you know, the wall anchors that destroy
a wall and you gotta you gotta pas. There are
ways to do that, and there's technology now out there.
There's there are stuff available for drywall repair that is incredible.
I mean stuff that you literally you soak in a
little water, push it in the hole and it is solid.

(01:00:59):
You can drill right into it, hang a photo all
over again. But knowing how to patch drywall is a really,
really big deal. Okay, So there's your mainly minute here
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. For those of
you that didn't hear it, this was on Trish Reagan
and a young lady went to one of the AI

(01:01:21):
platforms and asked what would Charlie Kirk have to say
about what just happened to him?

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
First, I want you to know I'm fine, not because
my body is fine, but because my soul is secure
in Christ, death is not the end. It's a promotion.
Don't waste one second mourning me. I knew the risks
of standing up in this cultural moment, and I do
it all over again. Second, do not let this violence
divide us further. The enemy wants chaos, fear, and retaliation.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Don't give it to them.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Instead, double down on truth, double down on courage, double
down on your faith and on your families.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
That is how you honor me.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
Third, remember this America is worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Free speech is worth it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
Fighting for the unborn, for families, for sanity and a
culture gone mad.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
It is all worth it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
So dry your tears, pick up your cross and get
back in the fight. Do it with joy, do it
with strength, and never ever let evil think it one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
There you go. It's an ai set of thoughts. I
asked myself this question, is that what Charlie would have
sound alike and what he might have said? And the
answer both was yes. Our three comes up next, sal

(01:02:41):
Nuzoh on deck. Okay hour, Good Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:03:05):
My voice sounds a little croaky right this moment because
it is then a lot of talking the last several
weeks here and I'm feeling it. Sal Neusoh joins us
and back with us again from Consumers Defense. Its website
is Consumers Defense dot com and Sal, how are you?

(01:03:25):
I'm doing good? How about yourself? My friend? This is
kind of like visiting the doctor. I feel like we're
gonna get a check up on the state of Florida
here today, a little bit of a maintenance check. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
We're in kind of that period right before committee weeks
begin in Earnest and the session starts in January, so
not a lot of bills have been filed yet. The
bill filing period, I believe began a couple of weeks back.
We'll see a whole lot more in the next couple
of months ahead. Yeah, but kind of of what's going on,

(01:04:02):
what's the session going to look like, what's the tenor
going to be a lot of those questions are kind
of up in the air at the moment for listeners of.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
The program that are kind of wonks and they want
to throw some ideas of legislation that lawmakers need to consider.
This is the golden window, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:04:19):
Yeah, you're looking at a period from now until probably December.
If you've got a brand new idea and you want
to talk to your member, you need to do that
fairly quickly. In particular, on the House side, house members
are restricted to I believe it's seven bill slots, so
they can only file seven non appropriations type of bills

(01:04:43):
each each session. So yeah, if you're not with your
member now, your window's closing pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
What do your years of following governors in and out
and during their time in office tell you about this
final year with Ron DeSantis? How aggressive do you expect
him to be pushing agenda.

Speaker 5 (01:05:04):
It's a great question, and traditionally I would have suggested,
you know, in prior governorships they might tend to let
off the gas a little bit in that final year
as they're kind of trying to cement a legacy or
figure out what the final things are going to be.
There's going to be a lot of shift in kind
of the narrative onto the campaign and who's next. But

(01:05:27):
with this governor, I would say, the man is only
forty seven or forty eight. He's got a ton of energy,
He's got a lot of life ahead of him. Lords
no gas, no break he is I do not anticipate
him coming off of the gas this legislative session. Have
any fences been mended because I feel, and this is

(01:05:48):
just my observation, I feel as though there was a
lot of damage done between the House, the Senate, and
the Governor's office.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:05:55):
I don't think it's a feeling. I think there was
damage done in particular, believe between the House and in
the Governor's office.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
The Senate.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
I think Senator Ben Albriton, Senate President al Briton, did
probably the yeoman's job of navigating some pretty rough and
choppy waters over the course of his first legislative session
as Senate President, because a lot of the challenges were
between House leadership and the governor. So, yeah, what happens ahead,

(01:06:30):
You know, my gut tells me it won't be as
rancorous as it was in twenty twenty five, simply because
it's a big election year. With that being said, and
we can talk about this in a later segment, you've
got the proxy battles kind of shaping up because of
the nature of the twenty six election and who's on

(01:06:53):
the ticket. You have two appointed cabinet members that will
be running for their first statewide election did office as
those in those positions, and so jury's out on what happens.
What about Lieutenant Governor J Collins? Is his presence as
lieutenant governor at this point an indicator Casey DeSantis has

(01:07:15):
decided not to run. My guess is is that that's
the case that they may have been looking at either
tea leaves or polling or something. But the degree to
which J. Collins, the Lieutenant governor, came out of the gate,
you know, just kind of high profile. Yeah, high profile,
all horsepower firing. He is doing what a sitting lieutenant

(01:07:42):
governor would need to do to be in a position
to run for governor in the state of Florida, and
that is increasing your statewide name recognition. Historically, lgs do
not have a big success record in a running for
the main seat, and this lieuten tennant governor is positioning
himself to try and change that, change that trend.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
And the field is formidable with a Trump endorsed Byron
Donalds and a former Speaker of the House Paul Renner.

Speaker 5 (01:08:13):
Yeah, since our last episode or last time we were together.
Paul Renner, the Speaker of the House prior to Danny Perez,
through his hat in the ring. He's out barnstorming the
state and doing what he can to get his name
recognition up and create an alternative to Byron Donalds.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
At this point interesting sal Newso with us from Consumer's Defense.
It is the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven UFLA. Sow, there's a with

(01:09:04):
me from Consumers Defense here this morning on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Okay, I want to get to
some of the cabinet sure officers. But first, there is
no opposition party here in Florida. Now there is, but
there isn't. They're just they're terrible. Yeah, we do not

(01:09:25):
have a functioning opposition party. That's the word they're looking
for me. Yeah, and this is really a testament to
you know, the in migration that the state experienced in
particular over the last six seven years. A stat that
I used often and still use on occasion is in
two thousand and twelve, when Barack Obama got re elected,

(01:09:48):
he won the state of Florida, and Florida had I
believe it was like eight hundred thousand more registered Democrats
than Republicans in the state. Twenty twelve fast forward to
twenty twenty four, so twelve years and I believe it
was one point three million more registered Republicans in the
state than Democrats. You have a more than two million

(01:10:09):
registration swing, and as a result, the Democrat Party in
Florida by and large just does not exist statewide. And
then you've got one of their most highly visible members
of the state Senate, Jason Pizzo, dumping the party mid session.

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
Not only high profile, he was the minority leader in
the Senate and dumped the party mid session and said
I'm not with you' all. I'm not a Republican, but
I'm not you So he is an NPA now and
considering his options for the next next campaign.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
Let's get to the cabinet. We got Blazing Golia on
the program tomorrow. We've talked to Jay Collins. He's not
in the cabinet, but James uth Meyer AG wants the job. Yeah,
the AG is kind of continuing his aggressive opening. He's
only been appointed a few months now if I remember,
or maybe it's longer than that, but he's been around

(01:11:06):
a little while, but he's taking on a lot of
high profile initiatives and efforts kind of going at corporate wokeism.
He famously went after Target as a retailer because their
actions were impacting shareholder value. He's taken on a lot
of the climate lawsuit groups and organizations that are out there,

(01:11:31):
kind of perpetuating a lot of the maloney that's out
there there. And recently, once the appeals court ruled I
believe it was last week on the open kerry statute
in Florida or the lack thereof, he sent out a
message to all of the sixty seven county sheriffs and
guidance letting them know that it is the position of

(01:11:53):
the state now we are in open carry state. They're
not to consider arresting or detaining any and kind of
giving guidance there, and that's how the state is functioning.
Now the legislature can come back in and try to legislate.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
Tony Republicans are going to try, and I'm hearing a
few ideas that may get floated. I'm not sure how
much traction they're going to have though. You know, you
can file a bill, but I'm not so sure with
court precedent that there's going to be a whole lot
of appetite to move things.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Thirty seconds on Blaze and Golia because he's done, he's
taken a similar track. He's gotten very aggressive early.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Yeah, getting a ton more visibility than just about anyone
in that office prior that I've ever seen. And it's
kind of important to remember how Blaze's got to start
in public service. He's an ordinary citizen. He began a
platform or an account called Government Gone Wild. It was
a site, social media account, chronicle government Waste. So now

(01:12:53):
we see him in this role as chief financial Officer,
and it's really something to marvel at. He's taking that
mission that played book of Doge and now turning it
into a way to shine a light on local government finances,
which is going to lead into the big policy debate
that we have in the twenty six session, and that's
on property taxes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Can't wait. We're going to talk about that next sixteen
almost seventeen past the hour. Another couple segments before money

(01:13:36):
talk with Howard Eisman with Salnuzo Consumer's defense. So the
big debate, Yeah, the big debate.

Speaker 5 (01:13:43):
We have heard it since the beginning of this year
when the governor came out and said he wanted it
to be kind of as not necessarily a Swan song,
but it would be the last major policy victory.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
Well, it would be a policy that would send shockwaves
around the country.

Speaker 5 (01:14:00):
Yeah, we would be the maybe the only state, but
at very least the biggest one to completely eliminate property
taxes in the state.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
Can I stop and ask you from a consumer's defense perspective,
is that too big of a swing the first time
out or does it need to be incremental?

Speaker 5 (01:14:23):
Well, some would argue that we have tried incremental or
tried glide path approaches in the past via the homestead exemption,
growth and whatnot. So you know, I don't know. I
think the swing at eliminating for all. Maybe it's definitely

(01:14:47):
a heavy lift. My guess is that if there is
a win that gets on the ballot, because this will
have to go before voters in November, would likely be
where it applies to homesteaded properties in the state. And
so if you're a resident and you live in your

(01:15:08):
property in the same way that you now get a
twenty five or fifty thousand dollars homestead exemption, that exemption
would be for the entirety of your property, and property
taxes would remain in some way, shape or form for
if you have investment properties, or you're a snowbird and
you don't claim Florida as your residence, and that's how
it would function.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Do you see it being something that would only be
offered to, say, homes that have paid off mortgages.

Speaker 5 (01:15:33):
It's certainly a possibility. But I think there is a
political implication there that while it may not be true,
it could be implied that the uber wealthy are the
ones that own their homes. Outright, it's not true, but
that's a It opens up a political message.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
I'm not sure they'd want to go down. Okay, when
you look at the overall campaign window we are about
to walk into, because let's remind everybody the session comes
early because it's going to be campaign season.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
Yeah, we've got session this year January February March. The
committee weeks begin in October, so we're quickly entering the
window for the sixty day period where there's no campaigning
or fundraising. But once that finishes, it's going to be,
you know, right out of the gate, all cylinders firing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
What is the what is the best floating solution out
there to make cities and counties whole from a revenue standpoint.

Speaker 5 (01:16:36):
Which is an interesting way to frame this because ever
since this whole dialogue began early on, I kept saying,
we're the question is the wrong question to ask first,
we're trying to operate that or answer that question with

(01:16:56):
a baseline of existing local government resources and revenues. And
I'm arguing that really the first question that needs to
be asked, and this is a commendation to Blaze and
his team at the cfo's office, is the first question
to ask is exactly how much does a local government
need in order to provide the essential services that its

(01:17:19):
residents want and vote for.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
That then begs the definition of essential services exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
So the local governments are screaming now saying, well, we
won't be able to do anything. Now, we're going to
have to make up five billion dollars or one billion
dollars or whatever the budget that they have is. And
really the first question is, or should be, well, your
budget is two billion dollars, does it really need to
be that? What are the essential services? And then you

(01:17:48):
back into exactly how do we finance and pay for
those essential services? And there are a number of ways
to slice this out, and you even have one house
member now with a proposal that'll turn into a piece
of legislation very soon.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
How much does that collide with hometown rule?

Speaker 5 (01:18:09):
You know, at one level it may, but ultimately it
is not outside of the purview of state government to
ensure that municipal governments are performing the services that they
attest to, that are doing so in the most efficient
and effective manner possible, and if they are not, then

(01:18:32):
figuring out ways that those.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Things can be streamlined.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
And that could take the form of statute, it could
take the form of a ballot initiative, a number of
different mechanisms.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Are there More to come with Sal news Oh. Next
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. This is the final segment with
Sal new Zoe because we have money talk with Howard

(01:19:04):
Heisman coming out. So what is the most productive use
of our time here? What do you think? Well?

Speaker 5 (01:19:10):
I did want to revisit one thing on the property
tax proposal because I kind of teased it out that
one House member in particular has got an idea that'll
turn into legislation, Ryan Chamberlain. I believe it's a second
full term in the House his proposal, and he acknowledges
that it is a starting point. Someone needed to be
the guinea pig to put something forward where we can

(01:19:32):
all then work off of that kind of the discussion ahead.
He proposed a five percent for a five percentage point
tax on tourists to take the form of like bed tax,
car rentals. It would be kind of deployed in that manner,
and then a three percent charge available to the school

(01:19:55):
districts if they so choose that would be it would
be a three percent almost like a doc stamp fee
on the sale price of a home that would be
going toward school district funding. So instead of paying your
property taxes every year, basically you would be levied a
three percent assessment on the sale price of your home

(01:20:17):
and you would lump that into your mortgage and it
would be one payment. And that's how they would go
about a potential there. And like I said, he recognizes
that this is a very rough starting point.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
Well, yeah, because obviously there are districts, school districts in
counties that are not selling a lot of homes and
they still got to run.

Speaker 5 (01:20:39):
A school district exactly, and so this is going to
be the first shot at bringing folks together, because don't
forget I believe the House has got or maybe a
joint committee of the House and Senate on property taxes,
and may be a House Select Committee, but they're going
to be vetting ideas and proposals, and when this gets filed,

(01:21:00):
I would expect it would come before that committee. They
would be working up amendments and further putting meat on
the bones. And so that's something where I wanted to
make sure that we're not just going from nowhere to
no taxes at all. It's definitely a work in progress.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
What do you think are the issues out there that
are the biggest lack of a better word, threat to
the state of Florida.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
Yeah, a couple of things, in particular. One is healthcare
and the other is housing. Okay, on the healthcare front,
we are not only short thousands of providers, doctors, nurses,
and specialists and what have you, we're falling further behind
because we're not graduating enough out of Florida schools. We

(01:21:50):
do not have enough residency slots, and so I would
expect both the House and the Senate to continue hearing
bills on things like license your compacts to try and
get people from other states where we say, well, you're
licensed in North Carolina, will recognize that license, just come
to Florida and work as opposed to having to get
a new license. A number of things like dental therapy

(01:22:13):
is going to come back up. It was a priority
of the Speaker when he was a freshman legislator. Expanding
the scope of practice continues to kind of be debated,
and this discussion on vaccine mandates, this is a new
one to me, So I'm kind of trying to start
to pay attention to where both sides in this debate

(01:22:35):
are coming from and what some of their arguments are
going to be in there. On the housing front, the
other threat and this is going to be a continuation
of what we've been talking about with respect to property taxes,
but also the pace at which property insurance rates are
either stabilizing or falling.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
And that's going to be just something that's going.

Speaker 5 (01:22:59):
To can continue to get brought up because even in
the party itself, you've got a faction of folks that
don't necessarily believe that what was done two sessions ago
was really the right thing, and we should dial back
on the tort reforms and then I would suggest a
handful of bills to come to try and further insulate

(01:23:21):
Florida from foreign influence in our technology.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
From the Chinese Communist Party, how about not letting anyone
from China buy land in Florida period.

Speaker 5 (01:23:32):
Well, and that's one where they would have to go
back and redo the well. And a number of other
states are taking the lead on that and expanding and
not just too sensitive areas, but statewide.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
So that is going to be I think Bill Gates.

Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
Yeah, well, you gotta worry because when he buys up
the farmland, he takes it out of production.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Absolutely, it does. All right, Thank you, Sarah. We'll talk
again next month. Always good to be with you. Saldowzo
Can Humors Defense dot Com. My guest forty past the hour. Beck.
He's always been a white guy, Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
We got it licensed to talk nine to noon on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Just kind of tagging on. Remember we will be talking
with Blazing Golias, State CFO and wants to be the
permanent well for the next four years, the elected state CFO.
He will join us tomorrow here on the morning show

(01:24:47):
Money Talk with investment advisor Howard Heisman with enhanced financial services,
securities and advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member
Fender and SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned

(01:25:10):
How are you?

Speaker 6 (01:25:11):
I am fine? How are you doing? Preston?

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
Uh? You know, my mood changes and when you direct
me to what's going on in the finance sector and
the economy, I can't say that. I'm always buoyed by
what I by what I read. What are we hearing
on the job market?

Speaker 6 (01:25:32):
Yeah, So why don't we focus for a second exactly
there in terms of labor concerns the job market, the
last week in which they were reported September fifth, we
had an unexpected jump in claims two hundred and sixty

(01:25:52):
three thousand, impressing. That's the highest number of unemployment claims
since October of twenty one. So if you go all
the way back to nineteen sixty seven, there have been
just seventy other weeks when jobless claims hit a three
year high, and that's where they're at now, and in

(01:26:15):
sixty four of those seventy weeks, or ninety one percent
of them, the economy was actually already in a recession.
So we're not in a recession now, but jobless claims.
And just like your last listener, Sal was talking about
the state of the housing market. If you're looking for

(01:26:36):
a leading indicator about a potential slowdown, housing's a great
place to start.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
We were also talking with Sal about insurance premium's, namely
home insurance property insurance. Florida seems to have found a
little bit of a leveling off. But what's happening nationally?

Speaker 6 (01:26:56):
Yeah, so nationally, the price of insurance homeowners and property
taxes continue to move higher. This past year, they were
up eight point three percent, that's the average annual insurance
premiums and they hit another record high earlier this summer

(01:27:18):
in June. So I'm going to put it to you
in a dollar and cents term so each of your
listeners can figure out how that would be for the
value of their home. They rose by six dollars and
nineteen cents for every thousand dollars in coverage. And that's

(01:27:40):
a big number when you think about the fact that
the average home now nationwide is valued at around four
hundred thousand or just above that. So, Preston, the average
single family mortgage holders are now paying about twenty four
hundred a year for property insured. That's the property tax part,

(01:28:02):
and that actually accounts for almost ten percent of their
total mortgage related expenses. And that check they write each
month's pretty big.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
Ouch. Yea, So the rate didn't go up six dollars.
It's at six dollars and nineteen cents per thousand, yes, yes, and.

Speaker 6 (01:28:25):
I apologize if I misspoke. Six dollars and nineteen cents
per thousand dollars of homeowner insurance coverage. That's the nationwide average.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
All things impacting our economy, no doubt about it. Howard,
thanks for the intel. We'll talk again in a few weeks.

Speaker 6 (01:28:44):
Look forward to Preston. Have a good afternoon.

Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
Thank you, sir, Howard Eisman with us this morning, forty
six past the hour. Where did today go? Gersh Let's

(01:29:10):
see here, one hundred and five year old Ohio Nune
walked into a bar. No, I'm just kidding that. It
sounds like a joke, right, No, no, no, this is
this is pretty amazing sister Renee Parman. What a perfect

(01:29:34):
name for this story. Renee Harman par M a n
and her cohorts from Humility of Mary visited the Noll
Run golf Course in Lowellville, Ohio to celebrate her birthday
and at one hundred and five, she played around a
golf she's legally blind. That actually might help if you're

(01:30:08):
not quite sure what you're aiming at. Just out there,
out there, Sister Renee, just hit it that way. That's amazing,
it really is. That's incredible. I walked. I walked nine
holes yesterday carrying a golf bag. First time I've carried
my clubs in a very long time now. I will

(01:30:30):
tell you I felt it at the end of the day.
At the end of yesterday, I was feeling it because,
I mean, you're carrying I don't know, fifteen pounds twenty
pounds on your back and you're walking up and down hills.
Perfect golf course for it. If you love walking. Old

(01:30:50):
golf courses are perfect. Why because they built them where
the t's are close to the greens and so you're
not doing these laws long treks through residential developments to
get from one part of the course to the other
from one hold to the next, so it makes for
a much better, more enjoyable round of golf. Didn't hurt

(01:31:14):
that I played, okay, I mean I played pretty well,
but it was a beautiful day. That it got hot
now towards the end of it, but the breeze was
there the whole morning and it was just absolutely lovely.
I forgot how much I love walking. Now. If I could,
I'd walk all the time. I'd use one of those
motorized follow me carts and just have it follow me

(01:31:36):
wherever I'm walking on the golf course, and I may go,
I may do that. But boy, yeah, that was That
was awesome. Brought to you by Barno Heating and Air.
It's the morning show on WFLA. Looking at the radio
program in one and eighty seconds or less. Started today

(01:32:01):
with Galatians six, verse one. That's where we began the broadcast.
Jimmy Kimmel's back on the air tonight, but Sinclair, which
owns about thirty ABC affiliates, said nope, we're not there,
So they will not be airing Jimmy Kimmel until they
have a set of criteria that they will put him

(01:32:21):
back on the air. And until he does it, they're
not going to do it all right. Talked about the
numbers of people watching the memorial of Charlie Kirk on Sunday,
even with the NFL in full swing, one hundred million,

(01:32:41):
and I can only assume that's around the world as well.
One hundred million heard the gospel because that was the Yes,
Charlie was celebrated as well he should be. But you
know he's lifted up more Jesus. Yes he's number one,

(01:33:03):
jose put a finger up. He's number one. Yes he is.
Is the rapture happening today or tomorrow? I don't know
other than this the pastor claiming a divine prophecy from Jesus.
He didn't get anything from Jesus because Jesus said he

(01:33:27):
doesn't know. So I'll take Jesus's word over this guy.
My hunches. We'll be here doing the show, not just tomorrow,
but the next day. I'm gonna save this story. Just
go save this story. Apparently Thailand all may have a
link to autism and ADHD, so pregnant moms are being

(01:33:49):
advised to be aware. Tomorrow we'll do it again. Have
a blessed day.
