Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I am back. How are you Tuesday? Here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston, he is Jose
and it is a delight to be with you. My
thanks to Grant Allen for taking the helm of the
good Ship Morning Show yesterday and doing a fine job

(00:38):
getting things off his chest. I'll tell you what, it
was a brutal week for a sports fan in my family.
Not not everybody, but like, my gosh, f SUTs gets
beaten overtime on Friday night, and that was after the

(01:02):
US Ryder Cup team got smoked on Friday, and they
got smoked again on Saturday. They came back big on Sunday,
but they lost. And then Sunday night, I'm like, well,
I've got to burn a day, so I might as
well burn it on Monday and watch the Packer game
Sunday night. So, you know, a couple of kids came
over and we watched the game and they got overtime

(01:26):
and tie. It's like, to your sister, are you kidding me?
And oh, by the way, my soccer team Liverpool lost two.
It's a forgettable weekend that regard, But other than that,
it was a terrific weekend. Got lots of stuff done.

(01:47):
Spent some time yesterday with one of my boys working
in his yard with him, and that's always a good time.
So we celebrated a birthday of one of our sons,
and so it was a wonderful weekend. I played golf
that was good. I played okay. I didn't play great,
but I didn't play terrible. I just played okay. But

(02:10):
we always start with what matters most, which is God's word.
And over the weekend we looked into the Book of Hegei.
We're doing a study on the twelve minor profits of
the Old Testament, and I'm posting messages on the blog page.

(02:30):
And this is for those of you that either want
a little auxiliary teaching, really meaty stuff, like really word
for word, you know, let's look at a story and
let's unpack what God says about, you know, a myriad
of things. But it's it's also for those that don't

(02:51):
have a church home, for you to have something put
into your life that you can feed off of. And
really that in and of itself drills down to the
message of the Book of Hagi. Hagi was addressing one

(03:12):
primary issue that God wanted him to address and it
was the condition of the temple. Temple needed to be rebuilt.
It was in ruins, it had been destroyed. Solomon's temple
was destroyed, and so it was time to rebuild the temple. Now,

(03:36):
as a matter of historical fact, this would be the
temple that Jesus would one day walk into. He would
teach in He would turn the tables in the outer courts,
like what are you doing? This is God's home. But

(04:00):
I want to focus on one verse. The word of
the Lord came to the hand of Hagi the prophet,
and he wrote in verse four, is it a time
for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while
this house, the temple, lies and ruins. We're going to

(04:26):
just stop right there. At the time, this was about
the temple. Jesus comes, and Paul would later teach you
and I are now God's temple. We are the temple

(04:53):
of the Holy Spirit. The question how much time are
you spending on you and your readiness for God's presence
in your life? Are you taking care of yourself spiritually?
Are you spending time building His house in your life?

(05:18):
Or is it in ruins? Ten past the hour, the
American Patriots almanac is opened up right next to me,
right there. We're ready here on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(05:49):
I had hoped to be using a new set of
hearing kind of earbuds for my studio here. I had
really high hopes. I tested them yesterday and I'm like,
oh wow, these things are sporty, but now they cannot
contain the dulcet tones of my voice. I had very

(06:13):
high hopes, but they are They are insufficient for the moneymaker,
and that just disappoints me. But it's okay, it's okay.
I'll get a refund. September September thirtieth in our this

electric power plant to furnish incandescent lighting begins operation in Appleton, Wisconsin. Amazing.

(07:30):
Wisconsin was the home of the Republican Party. Wisconsin was
where we saw hydro electric power. And now look what's
happened to it. I mean, Wisconsin's the home of the
Green Bay Packers. God's team. It's got a big G
on the side of the helmet. What do you think
it means? And now look at it? It is? It is.

(07:57):
It is a cauldron of illiberalism. Ah, such a beautiful state.
Eighteen eighty nine, Wyoming legislators right the first state constitution
granting women's suffrage. Way to go, Wyoming. See little alliteration there,
Wyoming women, Little ww action there. Nineteen thirty five President

(08:22):

(14:45):

dot Com. So we got a few things going on. Huh.
That's how we roll around here, doing our best to
help out pitch In by spreading the word twenty seven
past the hour. Now we begin because we've got i mean, look,
the first half hour just kind of you know, it's

(15:06):
sort of our stretching exercises. Now we get going a
lot of very important, big stories in the press box
in terms of informationally, very very important stuff. So stay
with us. We've got a lot of stories to talk about.
We have answers to questions that are being asked. It's
what you would expect. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(15:46):
All right, thirty five past the hour, big stories in
the press box time, and we have some big, big stories.
Remembering that the big stories are not always going to
be what's in the news in terms of you know,
above the fold headline, headline. They may be, but this
is stuff you need to know about listeria outbreak from

(16:07):
recalled frozen meals sold at Trader Joe's and Walmart. Four
have died, nineteen are in the hospital. These are recalled
meals sold at Trader Joe's and Walmart. At Walmart, it's
called market Side Linguini with beef meat balls and Marinera sauce.

(16:28):
It was sold in the twelve ounce trays at Walmart
the best if used by dates of September twenty two,
twenty four, twenty five, twenty nine thirty and best if
used by dates of September twenty, twenty four, twenty seven.
At Trader Joe's, it's the Cajun style blackened chicken fetucino fetccini. Sorry,

(16:50):
and it's got listeria as well, And so those are
best by dates of September twenty twenty twenty five, September
twenty four, September two only seven. I don't expect you
to remember the dates. I do expect you to remember
that if you bought either of those dishes at a
Walmart or a Trader Joe's, if in doubt, throw it
out and at the very least do some digging online

(17:14):
and get those dates and check and make sure you're
good it's I mean, it's just you just don't play
with that. It ain't worth it. Well, I don't have
the receipt to get a refund, whatever. Just throw the
thing away. It's three bucks or whatever it costs. I mean,
come on, just think of what your copey is. Okay,
you know what I'm saying. Minimum wage has uh has

(17:38):
bucked up. Effective today, fourteen dollars an hour is your
minimum wage. One year from now, it goes to fifteen
and then it's ingested after that for inflation forever. It
doesn't go down, it only goes up. It was dumb

(18:00):
Amendment two. You guys got suckered into it by John Morgan. No,
you got suckered into it, and it's hurting businesses, it's
not helping, it's not changing the outcome for anybody. And
I told you, I told you exactly what was going
to happen, but too many people in Florida didn't listen
to my show and didn't believe me. Florida's number one

(18:23):
in the nation for higher education tenth straight year. We
are number one in lowest tuition, and we are number
one in four year graduation rates. Here's all I'm going
to say. The bar across the country is pathetic. But

(18:46):
at least you're number one. I mean, I don't know
what to tell you. Is Florida's public education at the
university level? Less expect Absolutely it is? Is it value?
I can't say that. It might be for some degrees,
it might not be for others. Just saying, and then this,

(19:17):
very few of you know the name Lorex. You know Lorax,
that's a Doctor Seuss character. Lorex lr ex its cameras
are sold at Costco, at best Buy, online, at Cohle's
at home depot. And these are meant to be inside

(19:41):
home monitoring, inside your house, the kids room, baby, that
kind of thing, right well. A thirty nine page lawsuit
has been filed in Nebraska state Court by Nebraska Attorney
General Mike Hilgers Or It's being filed today. The lawsuit

(20:03):
claims that the company Lorex marketed its company as private
by design and safe for places like children's bedrooms, concealing
the fact that these devices rely on a Chinese firm
which has been sanctioned by the United States government over
national security and human rights violations. To the point, Lorex

(20:25):
devices depend on technology from xei Jing Daiwa technology, not
Daiwa dai Hua. Perhaps it is a Chinese surveillance firm
legally bound to assist Beijing with intelligence. And so the

(20:47):
concern is that these devices have technology that, because they
are hooked up online through Wi Fi and Bluetooth, that
it's importing information about your home and your activities to
the Chinese government to allow them to compile information on

(21:09):
what you're doing for the purposes of creating profiles of Americans,
our actions, what we do, and so forth. So you know,
I'm just telling you that's a lawsuit that's out there.
That's the accusation. Forty minutes. I told you they were
important stories told you. You can tell Grant Allen hadn't

(21:37):
been in the host chair of this program in a
minute because he was marveling at our bump selection. It's like,
it's like, Grant, you worked for me, buddy. You know
how I roll. I am the I'm the Buddha bump.

(22:04):
I mean, I just I got it. I got it.
We're were rolling out new music this year. When we
get to a new year, we're gonna roll out some
new music. We'll keep some, we'll keep some, but now
we always freshen it up every few years. Over the
last five months, this number is interesting. Florida law enforcement

(22:28):
officials have arrested more than six thousand people suspected of
being in the country illegally. You know what I'm gonna ask, right,
Don't you know what I'm gonna ask? Where were all

(22:49):
those people working? It's a complicated issue, no, it is.
There needs to be a mechanism for people that just
want a job to get back out of the country

(23:18):
or to become legal, get their worker permit legally and
then have their salary docked, their pay doct a reasonable
amount to pay fines costs to become a citizen of

(23:43):
this country if that's what they want, if we determine
that they are of the right stuff to be a citizen. Now,
there's a difference between being a worker and being a citizen.
We've seen the whole citizen thing backfire big time. Look
at Illhean Omar. Ilin Omar has no business being in

(24:06):
this country. She is not a US citizen. She is
not She has said she is a Somali first. That
should alone get her removed from Congress. That alone, it
is a violation of her oath, her pledge to be
an American citizen. That is a violation of it. But

(24:27):
let's back up for a second. The issue here is
six thousand. I wonder how many different employers that represents
and what will Florida ever do about that? Just saying

(24:51):
Florida man arraigned in a plot to bomb the New
York Stock Exchange. Listen to this guy's name. I'm not
about judging a book by the cover. But doesn't surprise
anybody that Harun Abdul hahmede Yenner of Coral Springs, Florida,

(25:12):
is facing charges of using an explosive device against a building,
an interstate commerce, threatening to murder federal law enforcement officers,
and possession of child sexual abuse material. He wanted to
target the New York Stock Exchange in the week before Thanksgiving.
He built a remote trigger, research possible placement for the bomb,

(25:33):
asked others to acquire explosive materials directed surveillance of the building,
also recorded a statement intended for release to the press.
I have taken this section whatever loser, but no, seriously,
anyone's shocked by the name. He is innocent until proven guilty.

(25:55):
Gotcha checked? We're there. Forty six minutes after the hour.
Staying on track, we are solving a massive mystery next.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Wherever you may be, from Florida Sunshine State to California.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
I scratch that. California is hopeless. For the rest, We're
your Morning Show, The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Mystery was solved by several listeners. We had a call
during What's the Beef last week about the college town
block party, the neutral college town and I'm I was
exactly with the listener who called in for very obvious reasons,

(26:56):
but I will explain them anyway. In a moment, the
neutral college town block party. Guys like, what in the
world does that mean? Neutral as in? And he thought
what I thought, both sides. Hey, we want everybody that's
in town from the other side to come down. It's

(27:19):
gonna be a lot of fun. I mean, yeah, we're
it's FSU but blah blahlah oh no, no, no, no.
Neutral is the name of a vodka. Now I'm just
gonna pause for a second and question the wisdom of
a college block party where you could argue at least

(27:40):
fifty percent of the students are underage being sponsored by
an alcoholic beverage. But you know, whatever, that's fine, but neutral?
Who thought of that name?

Speaker 5 (27:56):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I mean the in the grand scheme of marketing, we're
going to what shall we call it, let's call it neutral.
What I would if I were the head of that table,
the CEO of that company, I would look at whoever

(28:18):
came up with that suggestion and go, oh no, that's
what I would. No next. So that's why it's called
the Neutral College Town Block Party. It's a vodka. I

(28:40):
didn't know. Color me stupid. That's fine. I can live
with it. But and and look, no offense to Neutral.
For all I know, we're like a co sponsor of
the whole thing because we carry FSU events. iHeartRadio, but

(29:02):
that's just not a very good name of a brand.
It just isn't n TRL see. You know why they
did that because too many people don't know how to
spell neutral. Do you spell it inn eu or n

(29:24):
u E or what I mean? How do you? So
they just go in you neutral? Mutttlevuck. Major League Baseball
heading into the postseason, I think uh Cal Rowley ended
with sixty home runs in the regular season. Wait to go, Cal,
What an awesome season. He's beaten records that have been

(29:49):
around since nineteen sixty or sixty one. He did things
Mickel Mickey Mantle is the only player to have come
close to doing He shattered Mickey's records and he's an
FSU guy. Come on, Cal Rowley. That's just that's cool,

(30:10):
very cool seeing former knowles do so well. But Major
League Baseball will roll out robotics for the twenty twenty
six season. Robotic umpires for balls and strikes. Teams can
challenge two calls per game, and they get additional appeals
and extra innings. Challenges must be made by the pitcher,

(30:31):
the catcher or batter. They tap their helmet or cap
to say I want that checked. If successful, you keep
the challenge. The reviews are shown on the screens on
in the stadium. According to Analytics, big League umpires get
ninety four percent of balls and strikes correct. That's a

(30:52):
that's pretty remarkable, but that other six percent can be
pretty testy. And it's gonna cut down on ejections because
sixty one percent of the ejections among players and managers
were related to balls and strikes. So you're removing that.
I love it. I think it's great. That's a proper
embrace of technology. Right there. All right, we come back.

(31:17):
I'm going to tell you the importance of the number
two hundred and seventy four next to the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Sorry, five minutes after the hour. It's Tuesday,

(31:45):
September thirtieth, show fifty four to sixty two. First time
I've given you the show numbers. Sorry, welcome to the
second show of the week. Thank you to Grant Allen
for filling in so ably yesterday. It's good to have
back on the show, wasn't it. It was. It's like
a little reunion sort of, except I wasn't here because

(32:07):
that would have made it real reunion. But you know, anyway,
sure they do. You have a good time yesterday with
the ga in here. Absolutely, we go, there we go.
Uh what's the significance of the number two hundred and
seventy four. Well, friends, that's the number that we now
know of embedded undercover plain clothes FBI agents on the

(32:32):
January sixth rally, two hundred and seventy four. They've been
stonewalling and gas lighting us for years. I have told you,

(32:56):
I have begged you. I have listed and linked and
shown on my blog page the evidence of the protesters
being escorted around the halls of Congress, walked to places where,

(33:17):
according to members of Congress, they would never know to go.
Were there some that carried things too far? Absolutely? Did
some resort to violence, Yes, but a lot of that

(33:38):
was instigated by undercover agents. And in fact, this gets
really interesting. They had more than two dozen paid informants
embedded in the crowd. But were they paid to inform
or were they paid to instigate? According to the Inspector

(34:09):
General's Office of the Department of Justice, who issued a
report in December twenty twenty four claiming to have found
no evidence in the materials we've reviewed or the testimony
we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover
employees in the various protest crowds or at the Capitol

(34:30):
on January sixth, Sweet God, here's what's interesting. I don't
necessarily disbelieve that noticed the wording of the statement. Found
no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony

(34:51):
we received. They weren't given them access to the material
found no evidence of FBI undercover employees at the Capitol.
Oh no, they only had two hundred and seventy four

(35:16):
hold on in the wake of January sixth, numerous anonymous
complaints were sent by scores of FBI agents. Criticism of
FBI directors James Comey and Chris ray Let's quote some

(35:37):
of them, the bureau has become infected with political biases
and liberal ideology. Another, the FBI should make clear to
its personnel and to the public that despite its obvious
political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously. Another,

(36:00):
it should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity, regardless of
the of vendor offenders, pre perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations.
And it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans, regardless
of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations. Another, federal agents

(36:23):
have been used as pawns in a political war, and
the FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed
it to happen. Another, we are supposed to call balls
and strikes regardless of political pressure. Now we can't even
be trusted to be on the field two hundred and

(36:46):
seventy four, and I haven't even gotten back into the
whole tactical. What's on video of them fire and tear
gas into their own people, Capitol Police, FBI. Who knows
who was firing what where. But it's so interesting that

(37:06):
these professionals tasked with dispersing the crowd ended up firing
tear gas in their own into their own perimeter. It
was this was so orchestrated, and sadly some people protesters
took the bait. There's so little trust that I have

(37:33):
in our federal government. There's some, but there's not much.
Eleven minutes past the.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Hour is The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right,

(38:02):
what we now know is.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Halloween got its start as a Christian oriented event and
it's been co opted now. I'll be the first to
tell you I don't have a real big issue with
kids dressing up and running around begging for candy right

(38:24):
their little teeth out. That's fine. I do struggle with
the way that it has gotten really dark in some circles,
and I think some unwittingly embrace demonic worlds. I think people,

(38:53):
I mean, it's just I think the word best used
is just dark. That makes me uncomfortable seeing little goofy ghosts,
and you know, dressed up kids doesn't bother me. I'm
not freaked out by that. You know, like a ghost

(39:13):
that's cross eyed, you know whatever. I don't care, but
you start putting skeletons out there, and demons and gargoyles.
And then there's this display that I've seen in a
Houston neighborhood. It shows maga mannequins, dressed mannequins, Maga dressed

(39:40):
mannequins hung from a tree with coffins underneath them, and
above them both is a Mexican flag. That's not a
Halloween display. That's political s pair of wearing red hats

(40:07):
wearing black face masks could be sort of a little
tap on the shoulder as it relates to ice. Next
to them is another mannequin with a colorful poncho and hat,
with the Mexican flag flying over both or all three,

(40:30):
you should say, message is pretty clear. And I thought
we were going to be turning down the temperature, and
that what I went was calling for turned down the temperature.

(40:51):
I got a credit John Fetterman out of Pennsylvania. He's
out there trying, man, he's out there trying. He's doing
interviews everywhere he can, saying tone it down. People that
support Donald Trump are not fascists. They're not Hitler, They're
not Nazis. Stop it. People that saw the video of

(41:21):
this display in Houston, some of the comments below political
hate speech. These people are insane. I will I suppose
they will try to push this off as freedom of
speech to sickening. Is this a good idea to do
that in very red Texas well? But you don't know. Houston,

(41:44):
Texas might be red and it's not as red as
it as you might think. There there are areas Austin Texas,
the state capitol that are a train wreck, Houston train wreck.
And then this comment, Imagine if the roles were reversed.

(42:11):
Imagine if there was a maga person being displayed and
being hung where some people wearing sombreros and ponchos in
the colors of the Mexican flag just say it. What
if the roles were reversed, what would the outcry be?

(42:35):
It would be hateful, it would be offensive. Would it
be free speech? Probably? But what would the reaction be?
See you have to constantly reverse, You've got to do
the photo negative, You've got to see the other side.

(42:58):
What if it was all reversed? What kind of story
would this be nationwide? I think it's Jessica Tarlov on
Fox yesterday. I listened to her Babylon about the right
being silent in the wake of what happened in Dearborn, Michigan.

(43:25):
Really silent to a certain extent. You're right. I'm gonna
explain that next sixteen eighteen minutes after the hour running
Late Here Morning Show with Preston Scott Okay, I was

(43:58):
listening to I think her name's Jessica Tarlov on Fox.
She is one of the lefties that they put on
the Five, and I admire any any of them. Now
Harold Ford is really he is not one of them.
Harold Ford. I would love to have Harold Ford on

(44:19):
this show. He's a thoughtful democrat. He doesn't, in any way,
shape or form, embrace the extremism. I've never heard him
do it. He's got as he is. He's one of
the few that I really have admiration for. Besides, he

(44:46):
goes on the Five and he's surrounded by conservatives at
all times. Jessica Tarlov is trying to suggest the right
has nothing to say about what happened at Dearborn, Michigan.
A church gets shoot up by one of yours and
you've got nothing to say. Well, let's just take a
moment here. First of all, the guy has a Trump sign,

(45:14):
but he's not registered to any party. But this had
nothing to do with that. He hated Mormons. He had
an irrational, absurd hatred for Mormons. I have no idea why.
You know, there are there are some things inside the

(45:37):
Mormon Church that from a doctrinal standpoint, I just I'm
not down with at all. But as a group, devout
Mormons are among the finest people on the planet. They're
just solid, good people. And in one regard, Jessica's right.

(46:06):
You know what you're not hearing on the right. You're
not hearing celebrations. That's right, you're not. There's silence there.
You're hearing condemnation. Do we chalk this up to PTSD?

(46:29):
I don't care. I don't care what it is. What
he did was wrong, It was hate, it was sinful,
it was evil. It cannot ever be justified or tolerated
or reconciled. Well, you know, no, no, no, there is
there is no no. And trust me, we will talk

(46:51):
about this tomorrow with our Personal Defense segment with J. D. Johnson.
The dude drove a truck into the church, pulled out
his semi automatic rifle and started shooting people, and then
set the place on fire and killed more. Probably they
haven't gotten through all the rebel and then police shot

(47:14):
and killed him. We don't know of anything that that
that predicted this. He didn't like Mormons whatever, I mean,
that's just that's a level of hate and evil. You
can't wreck, you can't you can't rationalize, you can't you
can't talk to But this idea that the right has

(47:41):
nothing to say nothing could be further than from the truth.
And there's the separator. We're not calling for an end
of rifles because the rifle had nothing to do with it.
It was the person holding it. It is an inanimate

(48:05):
object capable of doing great harm, just like a hammer,
just like a knife, just like a vehicle, just like fertilizer,
just like a timing device, just like fill in the blank. See,
there are vast differences in how a conservative views things

(48:31):
like this and how an illiberal does we see it
as a sinful, evil tragedy. Did that church have any
level of a security plan? Did they have any what

(48:53):
if scenarios? Twenty eight minutes after the hour, there are
differences between our sides. Thing Show with Preston Scott Good
Money on News Radio one hundred point seven Double USLA.

(49:23):
Violent crime is soaring in Louisiana, and so the governor there,
Jeff Landry, has submitted a request for a thousand National
Guard troops to be deployed to fight a violent crime
wave across the state. They've got shortages in personnel and

(49:51):
crime is well above the national average. Hurricanes, natural disasters
thinning things just a little. Of course, it's been a
bit since they had a hurricane, but it's still a problem.
And I would I would want to try to figure
out why why is crime skyrocketing in certain places? I

(50:19):
would I would point the finger at one thing the left. Now, seriously,
we are we are not unified in our view of
law and order. We are not unified in our court system.
We are not unified in the prosecutorial process of what
violent criminals should be facing. We're dealing with places and

(50:44):
districts that have no cash bail, that allow people just
to walk off after committing violent crimes, after being accused
of murder. Now, we have a we have a growing
divide here and when people start taking license in these

(51:07):
types of states and jurisdictions. They go to other states
and think they can just do the same thing. Louisiana's
Governor's trying to stop it. You've got a listeria outbreak
from recalled frozen meals sold at Trader Joe's in Walmart.
Four have died, nineteen hospitalized. So you know, if you

(51:30):
bought the market side Linguini with beef meatballs and marinara
sauce twelve ounce tray at Walmart, make a phone call,
get online. If you bought the Trader Joe's Cajun style
black and Chicken Alfredo chicken at Feticini Alfredo, you'll want
to do some digging on that listeria in both of

(51:52):
those in certain lots. Florida minimum wage up to fourteen
dollars an hour effective today. Floridas number one in higher
education for the tenth consecutive year, number one and lowest
tuition and fees, number one in four year graduation rates.

(52:13):
I would be curious to know to what end, What
does that lead to the fact that it's more cost effective,
that's terrific. Less debt, that's awesome. No debt, that's even better.
What are you getting? What is the value of that.

(52:34):
I'm not saying there is none, I'm asking the question,
what is it? And then a lawsuit from Nebraska claiming
that the video security camera made for indoors by Lorex
l O R e X sold at Costco Best Buy

(52:54):
Home Depot Coles that these cameras have components in them
that may directly report to the Chinese Communist Party because
it's using technology from a company that is legally bound
to assist Beijing and is in fact sanctioned by the
United States government. Do what you want with all that information.

(53:18):
Forty one minutes past the hour, twenty two minutes past

(53:38):
the hour, mainly minute just a little bit away. JOm
Hudson joins US Next Hour from Breitbart dot Com. He's
the entertainment editor. He's also the author of the fifty
Things books, Fifty Things they Don't Want You to Know
and Fifty Things they Don't Want You to Know about Trump.
Both are brilliant reads. And it's a great that you

(54:00):
can just pick up and put down, pick up and
put down, pick up and put down. You can you
can take it in little bite sized pizzas pieces. It's uh,
it's really good. I told you that Jimmy Kimmel the
night he went back on the air was going to
have a huge spike in numbers. People were gonna be
curious what was he going to say? And he did uh.

(54:21):
In fact, he had six point five million tuned in
to watch the Tuesday return. He lost sixty four percent
of that audience the next night. It gets better or worse,

(54:44):
depending on your perspective. Advertisers love twenty five to sixty four.
Now they should be more focused with twenty five to
sixty four, But they love twenty five to fifty four.
They dropped seventy three percent of their viewers in that demographic,

(55:10):
younger people eighteen to forty nine, they dropped seventy three
percent of that demographic. It would seem that people that
tuned in on Tuesday that a here, there are only

(55:34):
two ways to view this. They grew the audience because
people that were like me. But I didn't stay up.
I just checked out what he said the next morning
when I came in, and what he said was not particular,

(56:00):
picularly welcome, welcomed by the listeners, by the viewers. I
should say, Jimmy Kimmel didn't apologize, and I think even

(56:26):
people on the left. Not all, but I think many
people on the left that are sickened by what's happened
in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, not just by
the assassination but by the reaction. I think that those

(56:48):
people said, yeah, no, this may be the beginning of
the end for Jimmy Kimmel. He wasn't funny before his
novelty of is he gonna apologize is gone. He didn't,

(57:09):
and so you might say that maybe a good bump
came from people wanting to hear his apology, But he
lost audience, probably because he didn't apologize, and they heard
him spin it, and they've seen the fake tears, they've

(57:30):
seen all that. Now, I gave him some credit for
seeming to be apologetic in that regard just the emotion
of it. But and as I said, I've never heard
him make a joke about Charlie Kirk being killed. What
he said was reprehensible, though, And so I think we're

(57:52):
going to look back to this event and say that
on September twenty third, he he began to write his
exit ticket. So we'll see, we'll see. But overall, lost
sixty four percent of his audience one day later, forty

(58:17):
seven minutes past the out Manly Minute. More coming up next.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Time for Manly Minute.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
These are things to make sure you teach your son,
and this Manly Minute will tie brilliantly to a story
in the news when age appropriate. Teach your son how

(58:57):
to drive a manual transmission, every man. And I know
this is going to be an indictment on some of
you out there. I get it. You got to learn
how to drive a five speed, a four speed, a manual.
You need to know that you just you never know.

(59:20):
Plus it's a really cool skill to have. By learning
how to drive a manual transmission, you can go to
Daytona and experience driving a car around Daytona International Raceway.
I hadn't driven a manual transmission in years, but I
grew up driving one. My first one, two three cars

(59:44):
were all manual transmissions, three of them, and I've never
forgotten how to drive a manual transmission. So I was
able to drive a race car around Daytona, achieving speeds
above one hundred fift teen miles an hour on my
dad take the low line But here's the thing. Part

(01:00:08):
of the art of teaching your son how to drive
a manual transmission is teaching him how to place the
car in park with a manual transmission, teaching him how
to how and when to use the clutch on a hill,
how to use the clutch. Hills are a challenge for

(01:00:31):
a manual transmission because there's a little coasting that goes
into that. And if you've got cars that pull right
up behind you on a hill, boy, there's some nerves there. Now,
there are some nerves that is quick from the break
to the gas with the clutch being let out. I mean,

(01:00:52):
it's it's an art to that. So just remember you
want your son to be a man, a well rounded man.
And because it's mail by birth, man by choice, teach
about a driver manual transmission. You can start with a lawnmower.
There are certain not all lawnmowers in this day and
age are manual. A lot of them are automatics, but

(01:01:14):
there are still lawnmowers out there where you engage a
clutch to a certain extent and you release it on
a tractor or a lawnmower, and you attractor lawnmower. It's
great practice. It really is. It's a great fundamental way
to do it without the mower. Get played engaged. I'll
just throw that in so there you go. Now I

(01:01:37):
said it would connect to a news story. Have you
seen the video? It is absolutely brilliant. Massachusetts an anti
ice protester she forgot to put her car in park
while yelling at agents making an arrest of any illegal
in Upton, Massachusetts. So she gets out and starts screaming

(01:02:01):
at him. She put the brake on and she jumped
out of her car to scream at him. Car was
not in park, and it just went on and it
kept going, and it kept going and then ended up
running into a lake and sinking, And it's just brilliant.

(01:02:23):
She's there by the water phoning, trying to get somebody
a little help, little help, brilliant talk about sewing and reaping.
She rolls out of her car to yell at an
ice officer doing his job, and her car then rolls
on into the lake. The photo is just is brilliant.

(01:02:45):
Jerome Hudson from Brianbarton dot com joins me next five
minutes past the hour. It is the third hour of

(01:03:08):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott Tuesday on the radio program.
He's Ose, I'm Preston. Great to be with you, and
this is our friend. He is the author of the
Fifty Things books. He is the entertainment editor at Breitbart
dot Com. He is Jerome Hudson Hydrome.

Speaker 5 (01:03:23):
Good morning, my brother.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
How are you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:27):
Terrific? Pretty good? Complain I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Play You're sounding a little a little echoey. I need
the dulcet tones a little closer to your microphone.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Is that better?

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
That's a little better. Okay, tell me. Did you know
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
I did get the opportunity to hang out with Charlie
a few times backstage at some Turning Point USA events
and then a couple I think there was a sea
pack and some other stuff. But anyway, there was a
presence about him, you know. I think the first time

(01:04:09):
I met him was twenty nineteen, and just he just
hit me with the big bright smile. I think I
was like introduced as like a Breitbart editor to him,
but it didn't seem to matter. Like he just hit
me with that big bright smile and just like embraced
you know, he did the handshake and pulled me in thing.
And you know just I mean, the conversation was led

(01:04:34):
by him just asking me what it's like, you know,
covering Hollywood, the entertainment industry at Brightbart. Yeah, just incredibly
warm every time I bumped into him. But beyond that,
you know, just the people. My colleagues just had a

(01:04:56):
relationship where they text him every day. And you know,
all the good things you heard about him just echoed
throughout the last few weeks. You know, it's just all true.
It's all true.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
So as a black male, you were not shunned or
laughed at, or belittled or called names or told how
stupid you were. You mean, none of that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Actually, I have a I have a colleague who's very,
very Italian, who is still distraught. She was one of
the Charlie's first hires after he basically stood up turning
point out of a garage. And uh, I mean, yeah,
those are the times we live in, right, I guess

(01:05:42):
good people are taken and immediately. Uh. John Stewart's called
it the political gender reveal of our times. Right. It's
just know, whatever whatever team you believe you're on, you

(01:06:04):
you you, whether you're on TV or social media, doesn't matter.
You just you just you just have to read from
the script and say the worst things about good people,
regardless if it's true or not. It's it's unfortunate, it's sad,
it's not necessarily new. But in this case, it it
felt different. You know. Like I said, I only spent

(01:06:26):
a collective few hours with Charlie over a six or
seven year period, and I was distraught for days. I
haven't cried in years, and I mean I didn't break down,
but I was fighting back tears listening to my boss, uh,
Breitbart's editor in chief Alex Marlow filling in for Hugh
Hewitt as the news was coming in. I mean, it

(01:06:51):
it's just it was just your heart breaks repeatedly. Right.
But the other side of that coin is just the
the revival, that the spiritual awakening that I think was
already happening in this country full of tilt.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Now, Jerome Hudson with me this morning, Drome stand by,
We're gonna we're gonna pick up right there. Uh, We're
gonna talk about that spiritual revival. But I also want
to talk about I want to ask you the question
I've asked everybody since Charlie's assassination. We've got more to
come with Jerome Hudson at brightbard dot com here on

(01:07:27):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with
Preston Scott on news Radio one hundred point seven w
f LA eleven minutes past the hour, joining me on

(01:07:48):
the program from brightbar dot com. He's the entertainment editor
and more importantly than that, he's my friend, Jerome Hudson
with us this morning, Jerome, before we get to the
revival side and the side that was most important to Charlie,
I asked a lot of people this question, what is

(01:08:09):
worse the assassination of Charlie Kirk or the reaction by
people on the extreme left to it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
Definitely the latter, because I don't I don't know if
I've ever seen a reaction to a cold blooded murder
such a good man living out the First Amendment on
a college campus, where you know, conservatives often need security,

(01:08:43):
and that's after they jump through the hurdles of the
administration and the rabbit activists on on student activists on
campus did it takes a lot to stand up the
organization that Charlie did and to do what he was
doing on major and small universe these in these communities,
and to be and to be killed in that manner

(01:09:06):
doing that, and then to have in the in the
moments as we don't even know if he's alive or dead,
people like you know, Matthew Dowd on MSNBC just making
flipped remarks. But even worse than that, people just dancing

(01:09:26):
on his graves celebrating his assassination. There was a little
bit of that when Andrew bright Bart passed in February
twenty twelve. We were in the social media age, but
we had not sort of accelerated to the to the
point where I mean just we're talking about school administrators, physicians, doctors, teachers,

(01:09:51):
healthcare professionals, members of the Department of Defense just either
outright celebrating Charlie's day, are saying well, good riddance, you know.
At the actor Dwight Trout from the office telling on
his podcast, telling Mark Ruffalo as story, Rain Wilson says,

(01:10:15):
I went to a party in Hollywood, and let's just say,
some of my celebrity friends, their reaction to Charlie's death
was I'm not shedding any tears. Again. I don't know
how we got to this place exactly because again, like
it just wasn't like this. Andrew Bidepart was the first
to retweet the left's hate on social media, right to

(01:10:36):
hold up that mirror and show just how much contempt
they had for ordinary Americans. But this was this was
a lot worse. But at the same time, you know,
sun sunlight is the best disinfectant, and you certainly don't
want people working in our federal government security agencies who

(01:10:59):
harbor those feels. You don't. You don't want people who
have the responsibility of giving unbiased treatment healthcare and you know,
teaching children to have that much hate in their heart.
And I think all of these people signed contracts to
work at these jobs, and I think it's the it's

(01:11:19):
the duty of an employer to separate that person from
that from their profession and their company.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
We could talk a long time about the reaction to
all of this. The Jimmy Kimmel Live thing, the lack
of apology is outright dishonesty, and his statement, which we
highlighted here. I'd rather take a minute here and get
your thoughts on what sustains this revival beyond the Holy Spirit,
because Holy Spirit obviously has to have willing participants. Will

(01:11:50):
will this move be sustained for any length of time?
Do you think?

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
Oh? Yeah, absolutely, I think I think if anything has
happened in the last day and you can, you can
you can lay it on you know, Trump, whatever you
think the impetus was for just sort of a political
awakening that sort of, in my opinion, undergirds a spiritual
awakening that I think was already happening. I just think

(01:12:19):
that the hunger and the yearning is just there on
a level that can be nothing but celebrated.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
I often talk about how it's no accident that so
many of our major and mid size cities in this
country are just overwrought with crime and have these pathological issues,
failing schools. And it's no accident that the common denominator
is those cities are oftentimes run by Democrats, the mayor,

(01:12:51):
the city council, the county council. But I bet if
you look at those cities also there is a broken
relationship between the church and the community leaders and the
church and the political leaders in those cities. And and
that is so we're seeing that that relationship be built

(01:13:14):
on a grassroots level in of all places, cities like Chicago,
those people showing up present to those city council meetings,
you know, saying this isn't right. I mean, these people
shouldn't even be in this country, let alone having our
tax dollars be used to subsidize their lifestyles. While we
have homeless people who've who've just been failed one time

(01:13:37):
after another in this in this city, or or or
even worse, veterans who come back from theaters of war
and fall out of the mainstream. They're they're faith leaders
leading the charge and and and and asking for more
accountability from their political leadership. And so it was there,

(01:13:57):
and I think, you know, Charlie didn't want to die,
but I think he was prepared to die. He wanted
to save the country, but he certainly wanted to save
souls even more. And I think in his death, both
of those those things will be done at an even
more extraordinary level.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Jero Mudson with me from Breitbart dot Com. More to
come here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He
is the entertainment editor at Breitbart dot Com, has been
for a long time, but he's been a friend of
mine longer. Jero Mudson with me and let's change gears

(01:14:43):
for a second. I learned over the weekend that the
Super Bowl was going to hand over its halftime show
to a guy that doesn't wrap in English. Yeah, Puerto
Rican born.

Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Benito Jerome explained this to me. Explain, what is this
because it's in California? Is this because the NFL just
wants to certify its woke credentials? What the heck?

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
The first thing is the NFL five years ago was
a nine billion dollar brand. I think it's a fifteen
billion dollar brand today. The NFL, the shield as it
is referred to, is all about growth. That means having
your first game this year played in Brazil, but you

(01:15:41):
put the game on YouTube so hundreds of millions of
people can watch it. There are games in Spain now
that they're pursuing. They just played games in Germany and
London last weekend. They've been in London for over a decade.
And so the brand of the NFL is, bottom line,

(01:16:01):
we are going to grow our audience and we are
going to do it by engaging the Latin America. We're
going to push back against football in Europe and so
bat Bunny, the most streamed artists on the planet's yes, he.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Is besides having a like hold your.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Hand, Grandpa and explain this to you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
I mean, no, seriously, what besides having a crappy name?
What what is the is it? Because he's rapping in
Spanish and so many people speak the language, I mean,
what is it? What's what's special about him?

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
His music? No, his music sort of has the hints
and notes of reggaeton and salsa, you know, and so
you know he's he's making music that young, old like
a billion people are into. And really, yeah, I know
his shows. I mean he does the pyrotechnics, he kisses

(01:17:02):
men on stage, he wears dresses on Instagram. I mean,
he's hitting every little button.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
So he's playing the things. He's playing the everything to
all people kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (01:17:16):
Now, I'm told by Francis Martel, bret Part's international editor
that you can't be a Latin pop star and come
all the way out of the closet. So what bat
Bunny's basically doing is queer baiting for clicks and likes
and social acceptance. But Ricky Martin came out, yes, but

(01:17:36):
he was already fifty five years old and had a
blossoming career. So that's that part of it. But if
you're the NFL, you want global domination. You've had Kendrick Lamar,
the biggest rapper, most streamed rapper. Before that, you have Rihanna,
who's done stadium shows. You know, hadn't really been popular,

(01:17:59):
hadn't really been but not a lot of music in
the last few years now, but Rihanna is, but she's
she's the goat in many, many people's eyes. Before that,
you have the Weekend Again, the Weekend did stadium shows.
He's Canadian, he's massively international, and so that and so well.

(01:18:22):
As long as jay Z is on the board that
that that basically decides who is performing at these halftime shows,
You're going to continue to get this. Now, I will
say Metallica from San Francisco, not as far as I
can tell, going to be participating in this halftime show.
And this is the second time I think in a

(01:18:45):
decade that the halftime Super Bowl halftime show has been
in San Francisco. And I mean, but that's the point though,
Like the NFL looks at Metallica and says, are what
kind of audience are they going to drive in? What
kind of new eyeballs are they going to bring to
the game. It's the biggest, it's the biggest advertising event
of the year by far. And he's the He's Bad Bunny.

(01:19:09):
You may not like the name, but people like the music.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
Will the Super Bowl have the audience? Charlie Kirk's memorial
had Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:19:17):
I don't think so. I really don't. But you know,
I don't want to let that detract from the fact that,
you know a lot of people were mourning and to
see the Yankees on September tenth, the day he was taken,
honoring him in the way that they did, and then

(01:19:39):
most of the NFL teams and other MLB teams, international
teams honoring him. It was incredible. Charlie was in South
Korea and Japan, South Korea two days, Japan one day
before his his murder. You know, the guy was loved

(01:20:01):
in all four corners of the planet. But yeah, I
don't I don't think that's gonna happen. But stranger things.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Yeah, good to talk to your friend, be well, love you,
Thank you, by love you too. Jerome Hudson with me
our friend. Morning Show with Preston Scott come to m
a D Radio Network. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well,

(01:20:32):
I'm not sure if it's official or not, whether it's
it's now the title the Secretary of War or we're
still dealing with Secretary of Defense. But Pete Hexith is addressing.
He's called all the military leadership, all the brass together
to Quantico and they're having a chat. He's laying out

(01:20:54):
new directives. Any women in combat positions are going to
have to pass basic gender neutral PT. They're gonna have
to pass fitness level tests that are male tests, their
male standards. They will have to pass or surpass those.

(01:21:19):
He's extending that to leadership. The generals are going to
no longer be allowed to be fat. They're gonna have
to take exams twice a year. They're gonna have to
do PT routinely. He's he's setting some things straight. Let's
listen simple.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
What were the military standards in nineteen ninety and if
they have changed, tell me why was it a necessary
change based on the evolving landscape of combat or was
the change due to a softening, weakening or gender based
pursuit of other priorities. Nineteen nineties seems to be as

(01:21:58):
good a place to start as any and the E
six test. Ask yourself, does what you're doing make the leadership,
accountability and lethality efforts of an E six or frankly,
an O three. Does it make it easier or more complicated?
Does the change in power staff sergeants, petty officers and

(01:22:19):
tech sergeants? To get back to basics, the answer should
be a resounding yes. The E six tests or three
test clarifies a lot, and it clarifies quickly because war
does not care if you're a man or a woman.
Neither does the enemy. Nor does the weight of your rucksack,

(01:22:40):
the size of an artillery round, or the body weight
of a casualty on the battlefield who must be carried
this and I want to be very clear about this,
this is not about preventing women from serving.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
We very much value the impact of female troops.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Our female officers and n CEOs are the absolute best
in the world. But when it comes to any job
that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical
standards must be high and gender neutral. If women can
make it excellent, If not, it is what it is.

(01:23:18):
If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs,
so be it. That is not the intent, but it
could be the result, so be it. It will also
that we mean that weak men won't qualify because we're
not playing games. This is combat. This is life or death,
as we all know. This is you versus an enemy

(01:23:39):
hell bent on killing you. To be an effective lethal
fighting force, you must trust that the warrior alongside you
in battle is capable.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
This is why many of us fought for Pete Hexath
being the Secretary of Defense. This is common sense. We're
making it right, and we are going to be safer
as a nation against others, if not necessarily against ourselves.
Back with more. If he's still talking, we're going to
keep joining it here in the Morning Show with Preston

(01:24:12):
Scott doing Show with Preston Scott sixty percent of the time.
It works every time on news Radio one hundred point
SEVENBUFLA forty one minutes past the hor Let's get right
back to it. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseith addressing the

(01:24:34):
top leaders of the United States Military apparatus, and he
is setting some things straight, and he's issuing a series
of ten directives to day.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
Opportunity policies, the EO and MOO at our department no
more frivolous complaints. No more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaintants,
no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, no more
legal limbo, no more sidetracking careers, no more walking on eggshells.

(01:25:06):
Of course, being a racist has been illegal in our
formation since nineteen forty eight. The same goes for sexual harassment.
Both are wrong and illegal. Those kinds of infractions will
be ruthlessly enforced. But telling someone to shave or get
a haircut, or to get in shape, or to fix

(01:25:27):
their uniform, or to show up on time or to
work hard, that's exactly the kind of discrimination we want.
We are not civilians. You are not civilians. You are
set apart for a distinct purpose. So we as a
department need to stop acting and thinking like civilians and
get back to basics and put the power back in
the hands of commanders and NCOs. Commanders and NCOs who

(01:25:50):
make life and death decisions, Commanders and NCOs who enforce
standards and ensure readiness. Commanders and NCOs who in this
war department have to look in the mirror and they
have to pass the Golden Rule test. My kids, your kids,

(01:26:10):
America's sons, and daughters. So I urge you all here
today and those watching, take this guidance and run with it.
The core of this speech is the ten directives were
announcing today. They were written for you, for Army leadership,
for Navy leadership, for Marine Corps leadership, for Air Force leadership,

(01:26:32):
space force leadership. These directives are designed to take the
monkey off your back and put you the leadership back
in the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Move out with urgency because we have your back.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
I have your back, and the Commander in chief has
your back. And when we give you this guidance, we
know mistakes will be made. It's the nature of leadership.
But you should not pay for earnest mistakes for.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
Your entire career.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
And that's why today, at my direction, we're making changes
to the retention of adverse information on personnel records that
will allow leaders with forgivable, earnest or minor infractions to
not be encumbered by those infractions in perpetuity. People make
honest mistakes, and our mistakes should not define an entire career.

(01:27:22):
Otherwise we only try not to make mistakes, and that's
not the business we're in. We need risk takers and
aggressive leaders and a culture that supports you. Fourth at
the War Department, promotions across the Joint Force will be
based on one thing, merit, color blind, gender neutral, merit based.

(01:27:44):
The entire promotion process, including evaluations of war fighting capabilities,
is being thoroughly re examined. We've already done a lot
in this area, but more changes are coming soon. Will
promote top performing officers and NCOs faster and get rid
of poor performers more quickly. Evaluations, education, and field exercises

(01:28:07):
will become real evaluations, not box checks, for every one
of us at every level. These same reforms happened before
World War Two as well. General George Marshall and Secretary
of War Henry Stimpson did the same thing, and we
won a world war because of it. As it happens,

(01:28:28):
when he started the job, Chairman Kane gave me a
frame and a photo to hang in my office. A
matching frame and photo hangs in his. It's a photo
of Marshall and Stimpson preparing for World War Two. Those
two leaders famously kept the door open between their offices

(01:28:48):
for the entirety of the war. They worked together, civilian
and uniform every single day. Chairman Kane and I do
the same.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
There is no daylight between us. Our doors are always open.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
Our job together is to ensure our military is led
by the very best ready to answer the nation's call.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
That is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsath addressing leadership. Oh,
there's gonna be some bell ringing on this one. There
will be some gas lighting on it. This is the
importance of a the next set of elections, b the
set after that, the set after that, the set after that.

(01:29:31):
This is why you have to keep a commander in
chief on the right side of this stuff, so that
guys like Pete Hegsith can get the job done, get
our military back in order. Forty seven minutes past the hour,
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Tomorrow, No way, Jose, Yeah,

Luke Kong Win. Luke Kong Win He Vietnamese he uh

(01:30:32):
he has earned a Guinness World Record because for three
decades listen, for three decades he watched his dad prior
to this journey that I'm about to explain. His dad
was a shaman. A shaman. It's a shame man, that

(01:30:54):
he was a shaman. He wanted to be one two
his dad, dad said, maybe you should focus on other things. Well,
in the process of wanting to be a shaman or whatever,
he began three decades of not cutting his fingernails. He

(01:31:20):
now has a Guinness record because the combined length of
his uncut nails. He's nineteen feet six inches. I watched
an interview with my man. He said he wanted to
be a shaman, and so he grew the nails to
look more majestic. When his dad said, maybe you got

(01:31:42):
to think of something else, he just decided to keep
growing them. They're the grossest, most disgusting things. Needless to say.
He can't dress himself, he can't prepare food for he
can't do anything. He paints, though he holds his brush

(01:32:04):
in a very unique way, and he makes a living
doing little murals on buildings. I don't see a lot
of skill, but that's just me. But he's got the
record for the for the man with the longest fingernails ever.
There are just some things that leave me without words,
