Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, good morning, friends, and.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Happy Veterans Day to all of you who have served
and are serving. We just take a moment at the
start of this program. We'll talk a little bit more
about it in just a couple of minutes, but we
just say a heartfelt thank you for those in and

(00:43):
around the Capital City parade today at ten forty five.
If you are so inclined, our verse today One Corinthians thirteen,
very familiar set of passages, says, beginning in verse four,
love is patient, love is kind. I want to just

(01:04):
pause as we go through this real quickly here. I
want you to just take note of not just the
words that are used to describe what love is, but
maybe make note of the words that are missing. Sometimes

(01:25):
love means no. Sometimes love is discussing things that are difficult.
But this definition that is in First Corinthians gives you

(01:46):
such a wonderful word portrait of love, patient kind. It
does not envy or boast. It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way. It is

(02:10):
not irritable or resentful. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, Love

(02:31):
believes all things, hopes, all things, endures, all things. So
just think there, think of love, believes, hopes, and endures.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
We'll just stop there.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
There's more to come, but we'll stop there for the day.
I think that that is a wonderful way to just
step back and do a little reflecting. Where is your

(03:14):
heart at when it comes to love? If we don't
hold up a mirror and we always take God's word
and say, boy, I know of somebody who needs to
think about that, and we never allow it to reflect

(03:39):
on us, on our life, on our choices, on our words,
on our deeds. One of the things I remember telling
my children as they were growing up, and it's interesting
to hear them repeat some of those things now as

(04:02):
they are adults, especially those that are parents, to hear
some of those lessons that may or may not have
been warmly embraced when they were children now being echoed
and shared as they are parents. But I remember saying
to them, it doesn't matter what anybody else says or does.

(04:29):
We're not talking about you know, somebody throws a punch
at you or whatever, and you got to defend yoursel
We're talking about the rest.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Of life, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
The ninety nine percent of life, where we sometimes fall
into this habit of justifying our actions based on the
actions of others. There's actually an example of that in
the news today. It doesn't matter. We have to hold

(04:58):
each other and ourselves most importantly, to a different standard. Yeah,
but Dad, they I'm not looking at them. I'm looking
at you. And that's what God does. God's like, what
are you talking about. I'm talking to you. Ten past

(05:20):
the hour start to impact the day known as The
Morning Show with Preston Scott or Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Some of you.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Veteran listeners of the program know what's coming, some of
you do not, and some of you have forgotten. Today,

(06:08):
of course, is Veterans Day. It was first known as
Armistice Day. At eleven am on the eleventh day of

(06:28):
the eleventh month, the Great War, as it was called ended.
When it happened, there were people recording. Special units used

(06:49):
a technique called sound ranging to try to determine where
enemy gunfire was coming from. To do so, technicians set
up strings of microphones actually barrels of oil dug into
the ground a certain distance apart, then used a piece
of photographic film to visually record noise intensity. Sort of

(07:13):
the way a sizemometer would be used to record an earthquake.
They would use that data and the time in between
a shot was fired and when it hit. They could
then triangulate where the enemy artillery was located and adjust
their guns accordingly. One piece of that sound survived the

(07:37):
War One recording. It is the only known record of
the end of World War One, when the guns finally
fell silent at the River Mozelle on the American Front.

(08:03):
So they took this film that was an audio record,
and they took it to a company called Coda Dakota.
They used the film strip of the guns firing away
at ten point fifty eight on November eleventh, nineteen eighteen,

(08:23):
and then going silent as the struck as the clock
strikes eleven, and so they used this film to recreate
what it would have been like. This is based on
the actual only known recording of the end of World

(08:45):
War One. I will play it for you now.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Is that crazy or what.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Right by the river you would have heard as the
gun stopped, marking the end of the war, the moving
waters of the river and for the first time and
how long birds chirping?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
It is veterans Day.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Growing up, we called it Armistice Day. We now honor
those that serve and have served. It is different than
Memorial Day. You don't say Happy Memorial Day. You can

(10:37):
say Happy Veterans Day. Because men and women are willing
to serve and serve this country and sacrifice for the
good of all. So do all of you veterans. We

(10:59):
honor you today and say Happy Veterans Day. All right,
this is fun. Yesterday we started the giving season and

(11:27):
if you missed it, Orphan Shade will once again be
a recipient. We worked with them in twenty twenty two
to build and furnish Home number three. Now Orphan Shade
provides homes for orphans to grow up in. They do
not build and function as an orphanage i e. These

(11:50):
are orphan children looking for someone to adopt them. These
are children, given the nature and the culture of the area,
that have lost their mother and father and do not
have family that is able to take care of them.
And so they focus on young girls between the ages

(12:11):
of five and ten and they form them into a
family with a pair of volunteer parents that are vetted
for the cause supported by a local church Christian church,
and they have a home, a stable home. They have education,

(12:33):
they have clothing and food. It is not opulent. The
cost of building a home is fifty five thousand dollars. Now,
when we built the home in twenty twenty two, it
was about thirty five thousand dollars. That's how much prices
have gone up. So we're trying to help them build

(12:56):
home number six in Malawi. Here's where it gets fun.
I said yesterday, we will need some heavy lifting. There
will need to be some of you that own a
business that have done very well and donate money at

(13:22):
the end of the year to lower your tax exposure
or to just do good, and you have the resources
to spare. I'm asking you to prayerfully consider this. And
here's the special offer. Our friend Marvin Goldstein, internationally known
concert pianist, recording artists, just a wonderful man for the

(13:52):
first five thousand dollars donation that we verify from some
in the Tallahassee Capital City region. Now we did this
once before and he traveled to the destined area. We
have to limit it to the capital city area. You

(14:15):
make a five thousand dollars donation to Orphan Shade that
we are able to verify he will do.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
A one hour.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Personal concert for you. You can throw an event with friends, neighbors,
for your office staff, your team, at the Christmas party, whatever.
You'll work that out with him. You simply need to
have a piano there that is tuned or a keyboard

(14:46):
that is a full eighty eight key keyboard. You take
care of providing that he'll bring the concert in himself,
and I can only tell you.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
It will be well worth it.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
So if you make that donation and you are interested
in that concert, a private one hour concert with Marvin Goldstein,
send me a note that you made the donation, the
first one that I have a timestamped note from, and
then I can verify the gift it's yours. We will

(15:28):
need to This is a This is the largest effort
we've ever undertaken. It will surpass the previous largest effort,
which was for Orphan Shade in twenty twenty two to
build home number three.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
This is home number six.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
If you can help, go to Orphanshade dot com, click
the donate button, build a house in the drop down menu,
and put a note in there in the comments that
it's for home now number six. Slash WFLA slash Preston Scott,
something along that line. But make sure you mark home

(16:08):
number six. And if you want to mention the show
the name the station, that's fine. It'll help them know
to designate it specifically to this project. Twenty seven minutes
past the hour, Thank you. Marvin had a discussion yesterday

(16:33):
with a buddy at the house and no, there's not
two sides to the violence. It is on the left. Now,
what you're going to see, and I'm not trying to
be a profit of doom here, but what you're going
to see is what you saw at Berkeley Turning Point

(16:55):
USA event. A bunch of clan Tifa cafe where is
that what it's I always forget how to pronounce that
CAFEA the little mask things.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think it's Kafia whatever.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Losers wearing masks, A bunch of little children don't want
mommy and daddy to see them being disrupting protesters, so
they start fights and someone at Turning Point USA wasn't
having any of it and fought back. But that's what

(17:36):
you're going to start to see now. The left is
incapable of getting into the debate. We had a caller
last week who was awesome. He said, I'm a liberal.
I love the show. Why don't you have leftists on
the program? Why don't you have people on the left side?
And he said, I'm trying to talk them out of
all this stuff, all this extremism.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
God blow you.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
There are a few rational Democrats out there. We disagree
on some policy stuff, okay, but we'll probably find agreement
on a bunch of things. You know, if you step
back and look at it. Bill Clinton wouldn't be welcome
in today's Democrat party. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, none of them,

(18:25):
who all had the same takes on illegal immigration, by
the way, would never be welcome today.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
John F.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Kennedy never be welcome. That's how far the party's gone.
But the fact of the matter is the reason why
we don't have them on the show is because they
won't come on the show. Lefties don't want to talk.

(18:57):
When I was being critical of a local city commission,
Jeremy Mattlow ONOD, you have me on the show and
we'll talk about it. I'm not taking time with you.
It's a freaking socialist. I want to talk to people
that have a rational brain. I want to talk to
the people that are out there, that are that are
actually making policy, not parroting leftist talking points. I want

(19:22):
to have a conversation. They don't want to have conversations.
They want to pick fights, they want to use profanities,
they want to hurl insults. So one of the big
stories is a little bit of a bloody brawl broke
out at Berkeley. So you're going to show up in

(19:43):
protest because you don't like the fact that Turning Point
USA still exists, that people on your side of the
aisle killed the founder and it's grown. You can't stand that,
so you're going to disrupt it. See this just they're
making my point for me. Supreme Court rejects an appeal

(20:09):
from a county clerk who sought to overturn same sex
marriage decision. And I believe Liberty Council was heavily involved
in this case involving Kim Davis, former Kentucky clerk of court.
She didn't want to hand out a marriage certificate over
to a same sex couple they sued, she lost. She

(20:31):
wanted to have oberg Fell versus Hodges rehurt. Court wouldn't
take it. No comment, no dissent, no nothing. They're just
like Nope. My guess is they got other things. They've
settled that issue. They think same sex marriage is constitutionally allowable,

(20:52):
and I would say, maybe it is. But here's the thing.
It doesn't mean a church has to engage in it.
That's a totally different matter. I think it was from
a tax perspective that that whole thing was originally you know,
married couples filing jointly, that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Uh, the President proposing two thousand dollars checks to Americans
from tariff revenues. The tariffs are a point of consternation.
Don't know where that will lead. We'll talk a little
bit more about that later in the show. And the
Supreme Court has agreed to take a case to decide

(21:35):
if mail in ballots must arrive by election day. Of
course they should. The fact that we have arguments about
that is unbelievable. Of course they should. Well, but what
if the mail Well, I guess you should mail it
in time. If you're worried about the mail service, then
mail it earlier. Otherwise, my god, you have three weeks

(21:59):
to vote in some place, maybe longer.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Deal with it.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
I'm sorry, I'm a boat in person kind of guy,
unless you're like mentally unable or out of the country
because you're serving our military. If you're out of a
country for other reasons, sorry, that's on you.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
That's just me.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Forty one minutes after the hour, those are the big
stories in the press box.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Took a little longer with one of them, I'll admit it.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
All right, Manny Chavez. Is this young man's name?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
And some of you are going to think of me
as heartless, and it might be fair to say that
I'm not love another. Something my daughter used to say
when she was a little things wouldn't go her way.
She would look at you and say, that's just not
love another. And after I gave the devotion on love.

(23:26):
But you know, it's tough love that I'm going to
talk here. I'm going to display tough love. Manny Chavez,
a sixteen year old young man, spoke up at the
Hillsboro City Council, Portland suburb. I just want to tell
you guys that I'm scared for my parents to walk

(23:48):
out there, to walk out out their house, because I
might not be able to say goodbye to them if
they go to work. I might not ever be able
to say byer or see them again.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
His voice began breaking. I'm scared because of it, because
they fought so hard to come here and choose a
life for their kids. I'm scared that everyone that I
love is not I'm not gonna be able to see
them again because even though they're US citizens, they don't

(24:21):
care about us. They treat as like like dogs, like
they treats like animals. Went on to share his concerns
that he would one day be held at school by
masked ICE agents as his parents were detained.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I hope you guys side with us talking to the
City Commission because.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
We're fighting for our rights. We're getting treated like animals
because people judges by the color of our skin, the
way that we talk.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Dudes wearing a Nike pullover hoodie. He looks as American
as you and me. Oh, by the way, he is American.
His parents are legal immigrants. So what in the world
is the snowflake melting about?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
But he continues, something has to change because I don't
want to live like this. I'm tired of telling my
mom and dad every day after school. If you see
the new video of Ice bullied somewhat over because of
the color, and they're scared. As a sixteen year old,

(25:31):
I shouldn't be scared. I should be focusing on school.
I can't evocus on school, and so young Manny, I've
decided there's there's only one thing that I can offer you.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Sullen eyes, look down size escape in dramatic bursts.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
World is ending now, little haiku for Manny, For most
of you, Brother, be strong. This Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Scott Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
point seven double us LA.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
All right.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
A couple of Trump related items announced to deal with
Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk. We talked about the one last
week with Eli Lilly bringing their GLP one drugs to
the marketplace at Walmart other locations at a discounted price.

(27:22):
These agreements will also make the drugs available to those
on Medicare and Medicaid, offering treatments at a discount on
a website the Trump administration is launching in January called
You're Ready TRUMPRX dot Gov.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh why does it have to have his name on it?
I just.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Anyway, So here's here's the dirt on it. Certain Medicare
patients will co pay fifty bucks a month for approved
uses of the injectable or soon to come oral pills.
There will soon be an oral version. Nova nor Disk

(28:22):
is going to give an oral version of its injection
will gov by the by year end. Allegedly, Eli Lilly's
pill is supposed to launch next year and they're looking
at doses of injections at three fifty a month down
to two forty five a month over the next couple

(28:43):
of years. It'll drop in price. So there you go.
I have mixed feelings on that. It's certainly working for
a lot of people. A lot of people are having
great success with those shots. You know, I've argued to myself,

(29:04):
should I be doing something like this? You know, I
lost twenty five thirty pounds number of years ago, and
I've just stayed right there.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I'm not a big injection in but I might think
about the pill that could have happened. I don't know,
and then this and this will lead into our next hour.
Some executives at the BBC have resigned, why because they
edited footage of Donald Trump giving a speech near the

(29:44):
Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one, and they edited
out We're going to walk down to the Capitol and
I'll be with you. I know that everyone here will
soon be marching over to the Capitol to peace fully,
patriotically make your voices heard.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
They took that out.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
And they edited in such a way that it made
it sound as though We're gonna walk down to the
Capitol and I'll be with you, and we will fight.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
We fight like hell.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
They they did what people have done to Charlie Kirk
and some of you right across haters, and you say,
have you listened? Yes, I heard, No, you heard, edited
to make it sound one way you didn't hear Charlie Kirk.

(30:46):
It's the same thing. Someone put it this way. Trump sued.
ABC News won a sixteen million dollar settlement. Trump sued
CBS won a thirty million dollar settlement. Head of the
BBC just resigned in disgrace. Two of the leadership at
the BBC. Imagine if the media just told the truth

(31:10):
back with our two. It's hello out there, Yeah, little
chili humh hit the freezing Mark. Welcome Tuesday Morning Show

(31:33):
with Preston Scott. It's gonna it's gonna be chilly today,
but it's gonna warm up. I think I think tonight
we're gonna be in the twenties. If I'm not mistaken.
My little weather thingy is telling me, Yeah, we're at
freezing right now. Tonight we're gonna be.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
That.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It's it's bumped up just a little bit to thirty,
but possibly down in the twenties. And then we're gonna
be today high fifty seven ish, give or take, and
then we're going to be in the seventies the rest
of the week.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
So okay, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Want to go right to It's like last night's football game.
It's the earliest listen to this, the earliest sub freezing
football game, the one played between the Eagles and the
Packers in more than twenty years. Settled science, global warming, whatever.

(32:30):
Welcome to the second hour.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, I'm not talking about the football game. My Packer's lost.
I'm fine. I'm good. I didn't stay up to watch it.
I went to sleep at halftime. It was zero to zero.
Whatever that means. Okay.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
This story is about Stacy Marie Lawton, a dude, a
former New Hampshire lawmaker who is believed to be the
first elected openly transgender lawmaker in US history who has

(33:09):
pled guilty in federal court to child sex abuse charges.
Forty one year old entered a plea Boston federal courtroom.
He and his ex girlfriend exploited children at a daycare

(33:29):
in Massachusetts, taking inappropriate pictures, and he communicated that he
was intending and wanted to engage in intimacy with these
little children. Have fun in prison, pal And that's bad.

(33:51):
That's bad as bad as gets right. But that's not
really the story here, because that's okay. He pled guilty.
He is a deviant. But this is a Fox News story.

(34:14):
And the writer Andrea Margolis writes the forty one year
old ex politician recently entered her plea. Later, she writes,
is accused of working with her ex girlfriend. Later writes
she was also the first one in New Hampshire's history

(34:34):
to be elected to the state legislature. Do you see
where I'm going? So, of course, having read this, I
dashed off an email to miss Margolis, and I asked her,

(35:00):
if you don't mind, is the decision to be factually
incorrect in your story? Yours or your editors.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Just want to know.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
That is a biological male and oh, by the way,
he is an ugly biological male. Imagine what do you
look like as a woman. I'm just saying they're called
the fair or sex for a reason. Women are better
looking than guys. Okay, there's some handsome men out there. Yeah,

(35:40):
I'll look at certain guys. I'll go that's a good
looking man. But on the whole, there's a reason why
women are called the fair or sex. And the reality
is this is a very ugly man. Is ugly spiritually,

(36:06):
he is very unattractive physically, but he is a guy.
And why do we have newswriters insisting on calling him
a her.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
What?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
No, hold on to that point. Ten minutes past the hour,
It's Morning Show with Preston Scut.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
Doing it his way like Old Blue Eyes, except he
has a little more hair.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. I mean, this dude
has a history of legal problems. I just showed Jose

(37:09):
a picture of him. There is zero doubting that is
a dude, and as I said, a very unattracted I
mean so unattractive, as the old joke says, that's enough
to make.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
A train and take a dirt road.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Off the tracks and got yeah, but I said, I
wanted you to hold onto the idea that, Okay, we've
got the media writing this is a factually incorrect story.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
This isn't.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
It's not nearly as much about one's opinion on transgenderism.
It's about the fact that biological men pretending to be
women are still biological men.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
And the reverse is true as well.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
You when you, when you give in to this and
you you try to normalize it by referring to him
as a her, to he as a she. That is
part of our problem in society today. And so I
continue to point to you, point out to you that

(38:37):
Fox News is not the harbinger of truth that it
once was and good reporting.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
It's just not.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
And so you need to consider that as you're consuming
news now.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Friend of mine in the media still probably out.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
There taking pictures for freelance for news outlets across the country.
Set me a excerpt from pointer.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Well.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
The media industry as a whole saw an increase in
job cuts sixteen six and eighty so far, up twenty
six percent from the same period last year. The news
sector's very comparatively better broadcast digital print news outlets have
cut two thousand jobs so far, down forty one percent
from the same period.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
It goes on to say that layoffs.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Are going to continue to grow, especially in December as
companies get ready for the new fiscal year. Layoffs have
begun at teen Vogue, Axios, McClatchy, Washington Post Paramount reportedly
preparing a new fresh round of layoffs. But inside it
says a recent Northwestern University study estimated that in the

(40:00):
past two decades, more than seventy five percent of newspaper
jobs have vanished, much of that due to advances in technology.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
It doesn't go deep enough.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
The reason why jobs are being cut and why advances
in technology are being blamed is because readership is so
far down. They've had to employ AI to do writing.
They've had to replace people as much as possible with technology.

(40:37):
Why because people aren't consuming news because they're not reliable
in providing it.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
All. This entire article that was sent to me from Pointer,
they miss it. They miss it.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
They are merely pointing to symptoms. Why are we in
this place where so many are being laid off from
so many outlets because they're bad at it? Why do

(41:16):
restaurants close because their food sucks? It's this isn't complicated,
it's it's just it's so it would be so simple
to fix. There are outlets that are growing because they

(41:40):
provide news properly the right way. As I've always said
to you, and this is something to use. A news
outlet that reports the truth will always be considered by

(42:01):
most to be on the right side, to be to
be conservative slanted. They're just biased. No, they're down the middle.
If they're doing the news right, you don't know a bias.
They were reporting facts. But to the center, center is
always to the right of left.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
You see what I'm saying. The news is all to
the left.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
If you do news properly, it's that's in the center.
Center is always right of left, and so it looks
it comes off as being conservative.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
No, it's just the news.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
The news isn't liberal, conservative, progressive. It's it's neither. It's
it's the news. You decide what it is. But sadly,
this last two segments demonstrate that we've lost sight of
what good reporting is. So I'm here to point it
out to you, good and bad reporting. Happy to help,

(43:04):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
You know, Just like we were talking about how in
the media you have to you have to.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
You almost have to know the story before you read
the news story.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
You know, you you read a story.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
And you're you're hoping that it's going to enlighten you,
but you find yourself sometimes having to enlighten yourself about
that story because the story's just written so poorly. Words
can throw you off. For example, Abilene Christian University, just

(43:58):
because it has Christian as part of its title doesn't
mean much. Let me share what happened. This from Campus Reform.
A sign that says abortion is murder, Disagree, let's talk.
Is put out at a table where Abilene Christian allows

(44:22):
groups to use tables in a student section, out in
a union, out in public, you know, kind of like
in a public space in the university campus for whatever. Well,
apparently that sign triggered somebody, and so university sent some
officials over. John Mark Moody, assistant director of Student Services

(44:48):
and Lyndy Falen, Dean for Retention in Student Success. They
both decided that that sign was hate speech. Abortion his murder, Disagree,
let's talk, that's hate speech. So the student group ABILI

(45:16):
and Christian University for Life said, how would you like
us to rephrase it?

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Phelan.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Anything that's not hate speech, I'm not going to write
it for you. So they said, do you mind defining
hate speech? Then they would not receive an answer. Of course.
Think of the similarities between how this dialogue is going
at this moment and the dialogue on define.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
An assault weapon.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
They can't define it. They won't define it. They won't
define hate speech. Please tell us what that is. They said, well,
you can either get up and leave, or you can
change the sign. Either way, it's going to be a
conduct issue. So they put a sign up that says

(46:16):
abortion kills an innocent human life. That got their permission.
They were later told that these table reservations are for
students for activities subject to staff approval, but that they're

(46:37):
not meant to foster conversations on controversial issues. It is
not appropriate for tabling to be used in ways through
signage or personal engagement that invite confrontation or public debate.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (46:56):
After all this happened, and Campus Reform wrote about it,
reached out and said.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
About that.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
After ACU staff engaged with students and provided direction, the
students were allowed to continue using the space. The university
has been supportive of ACU for Life organization provided tremendous
encouragement for their work. During the interaction, the student Life
staff member unfortunately used the phrase hate speech in a
broader conversation to describe the sign. The employee has since

(47:27):
apologized for the choice of words and acknowledged the sign
is not an example of hate speech. To be clear,
the university does not believe the sign represented hate speech. Well,
thank you very much, but I want you to notice
they had to be called out before they said, yeah,
we were wrong. Stay the course, do what's right. Twenty

(47:58):
eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
After big story in the press box, justin Haskins.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Next hour's weather, traffic and the big stories in the
press box. The fastest three hours in media. And don't
be surprised if you have a chuckle here and there.
Just like that, Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. So many big stories in the press box.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
I mean, I haven't even mentioned Trump being snippy about
the air traffic controllers.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
I mean, I'm sorry for the inconvenience to the travelers
of the world, but send the military in there. We
have military air traffic controllers in some pay. Let them
fill in.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I don't. I told you when this started.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I do not blame air traffic controllers for saying, if
you're not gonna pay us, why am I? I might
have to get a part time job. I'm sorry, I'm
gonna go where I'm getting paid. I don't fault them
for not showing up for work. It is totally different

(49:30):
than when they went on strike. That's different. This is
a different story. I think Trump's wrong. Supreme Court has
agreed to decide if mail in ballots must arrive by
election day. Why in the world would they not need

(49:53):
to arrive by election day? Do you know that in
Mississippi they give them five days after the election. There
are other states that do the same. What.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Well, but pressed in the mail service? You know? I mean,
look in the capital city of Florida.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
The mail leaves goes to Jacksonville and comes back. It
can take a week or more. Well, then I suggest
you mail it in two weeks early, or maybe just
maybe show up and vote. Well, you don't understand it's
really hard.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Hmm. How about that.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
I'm sorry, unless you have a medical, verified reason, or
you're out of the country because you're serving our nation
in the Armed services. I have zero sympathy for you,
but for elections to be held hostage. We've seen this

(51:01):
act before. Wait, how many votes do we need?

Speaker 6 (51:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Look at this. We just you said three thousand and
one votes come in by mail? Wow?

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Oh boy, you don't say, uh huh no, no, election
Day's election day. If you want to vote by mail,
you better take into account the sketchy mail service. Let

(51:32):
me tell you a true story. I had a Christmas
card that had a gift card in it that I
wanted to give to a friend here in town. I
did not want to put it in the mail because
it goes to Jacksonville and back, and who knows when

(51:53):
they'll get it.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
See. Do what I did.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
I delivered it to him. I didn't put it in
the mailbox. That's against the law. I said, are you home?
And I drove by his house and I dropped it
off and I said, I appreciate you Merry Christmas. Well,
you didn't have to do that. I know if I

(52:17):
had to do it, I probably wouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Presidents proposing two thousand dollars checks to Americans for tariff revenues. Look,
tariffs are being paid for in part by US. But
if you've noticed, prices have not jumped as a result
of it. Some of those tariff costs are being eaten
and absorbed, but some of them are being passed down.

(52:45):
It's almost like a tariff rebate. I mean it is.
So those are the big stories.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I mean there's others, but there are just so many
I've now I think we're at six or seven big
stories today. Forty minutes past there manly minute coming up
in just a little bit.

Speaker 7 (53:07):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Okay, we have an incredible offer that's been made by
our friend Marvin Goldstein.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Now let me set the stage here. Our Operation Thanksgiving
Spirit of Christmas Project this year is once again working
with Orphan Shade to provide a home for orphans, not
an orphanage. Okay, if you don't know the details and
all that, just keep listening. But we've mentioned that to

(53:55):
accomplish this.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
One, I don't.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
I'm not gonna limit God and what God will do
in working through all of us. But the goal is
fifty five thousand dollars. We did forty better than forty
thousand dollars in twenty twenty two to build home number three,
and you people built the whole thing and you're supporting it.

(54:22):
That's an entire you project. And so we're helping build
home number six in Malawi. And again, these are girls
that have lost both their mother and their father and
have no one else to take care of them. And

(54:42):
they will grow up in this home. This will be
their family. These will be their sisters and their mom
and dad parents. A couple, a husband and wife that
have been vetted by a local church that have volunteered
to raise these girls as their own. Here's the offer, Marvin,

(55:03):
of course, a world renowned concert pianist, and the reality,
as I shared yesterday, that it will take some big
gifts businesses that want a little bit of a tax
right off but want to do a good thing. The
first five thousand dollars donation that we have verified to

(55:24):
orphan Shade from the Tallahassee area. He can't travel outside
the area. But if you've got a piano that's in
tune or can be tuned, or you can arrange to
have one, or you have a keyboard, an eighty eight
key keyboard, weighted keys preferable. I'm being picky for him.

(55:49):
The first five thousand dollars donation, he will do a
one hour private concert for you. It can be during
the holiday season, it can be later in the year,
special gathering of maybe future clients. You want to do
something special. Maybe it's for your staff, maybe it's for
family and friends. Go to orphanshade dot com, click the

(56:14):
donate button, build a house. In the drop down menu,
you'll see comments and put home number six WFLA my name,
some combination of that. The first five thousand dollars verified gift.
That concert is yours courtesy of Marvin Goldstein. He has

(56:38):
done this one time before for us. So if you're
interested in willing make the donation once, let me know
that you've done it once. I have it verified from
orphan Shade. I have your time stamped email. I don't
expect there's gonna be a rush of people on this.

(56:59):
It's a hefty gift, but if you do it, it
will make an eternal difference. You get a tax right
off and you're going to get a great concert. Orphan
Shade dot com Orphanshade dot com forty six minutes past
the hour, come back with a manly minute and more
on the Morning Share with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Veterans. Thank you for your service then and now.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I appreciate you and thank you for doing what most
of us are not. Time for a manly minute. That
was an example of being a man saying thank you.
That right there, saying thank you, thank you. It's being

(58:03):
manly saying thank you. These are ideals, virtues, skills, thoughts
to make sure your son becomes a man coveted by society,
whether it will admit it or not. Can you imagine
if there were no men, I mean real men, can
you imagine what a limp wristed sorry society we would be.

(58:31):
And I'm not talking about the randy macho man, savage
type of man.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Oohm'd you man, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking
about I don't cry, men, don't cry.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
No, no, no, no no. I'm gonna teach you here
something you can do.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
And I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Combine the last segment with this segment and get an outcome.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
It's a little bit of morning show math. Okay, we
were talking about orphan shade. Right, here's what you do.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
As long as your son is well, I don't know,
four or five years of age or older. Have him
do a chore for the next few weeks to earn
five bucks. Introduce him to the project orphan Shade, tell
him who it's for, what is for, they're videos, there's
there's information orphanshade dot com, and say I want you

(59:31):
to do something for this project, and we're going to
give it in your name. And you know, you put
the twenty bucks down on your credit card or whatever,
but you you put in the comments this is on
behalf of my son Biff, who rakes some extra leaves
to earn some money to do this.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Maybe maybe have Biff go.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
To the neighbors if he's a little bit older and
offer to do a chore. But no matter what, don't
don't reward him for what he's supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
You reward him for doing something extra, and then if
you want to reward him even extra for thinking of
being willing to do this on behalf of other people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
You are winning so many ways.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
You're teaching your son to consider others more important than himself.
You're teaching your son to think of ways to be
a blessing to people and to not profit personally from it,
other than the feeling that one gets from doing something
good to help other people. This is a win win

(01:00:43):
win win situation. There's at least four wins here. The
person who benefits from the chores win, Your son wins.

(01:01:03):
As a parent, you win as a parent, even if
you're the recipient of the extra chort you win as
a parent, and then orphan shade.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
These girls.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
On the other side of the world that will probably
never meet on this side of eternity. I know that
Agnes and Eliza that I pray for every single morning.
These are the two little girls that my wife and
I support from not home number three, from.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Home number one or two. I pray for them every morning,
and I may never ever meet them. I've seen their picture,
I know what their grades are like, I know how
they're doing. But it makes my heart feel so good
to know that our.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Contribution is helping them have a chance at a better life.
That is what being a man is all about. And
these are the virtues that I want you to teach
your son, and he might be able to learn that

(01:02:07):
at three or four. You can start teaching these principles.
So there you go. That is that is that is
a manly minute of manly minutes right there. When we
come back, we've got Justin Haskins going to join us.
A little abbreviated visit with Justin. He'll only be with

(01:02:28):
us for two segments today, but he will join us
next as we continue into the third hour. Remember to
learn more orphanshade dot com and please give what you
can orphanshade dot com House number six.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
All right, the page has been turned on the rundown
and here we are the third hour of the Morning
Show with Preston Scott common Sense amplified for Show five thousand,
four hundred and ninety two. He is Jose.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
I'm Preston. Remember orphanshade dot com. If you can donate
orphanshade dot com. We're trying to build home number six.
We built home number three. You listeners, you chipped in
and raised the forty plus thousand dollars. We're trying for
fifty five this time to build home number six and Malawi.

(01:03:29):
This as a home for orphans, not an orphanage. It's
a big difference. Orphanshade dot com. Joining us is Justin Haskins. Hello, sir,
how are you?

Speaker 8 (01:03:39):
I'm doing great? How are you well?

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
You know I feel like I need to take my
temperature about every fifteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Right, it's the news.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I was struggling today to put together the show because
the number of significant, big stories is just endless. So
I thought I would get your considerable insight. You are
the one that warned us and I often repeated what
you said about the New York City elections.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Now that mom Donnie has won, what are your thoughts.

Speaker 8 (01:04:12):
I think this is just the beginning, That's what I think.
I think we're about to see another wave, another resurgence
of socialism in America. I don't know if it will
be as successful as the last wave, or maybe maybe
it'll be more successful. We're going to find out. But
I think that we are on the verge of potentially

(01:04:36):
having a socialist president of the United States. I think
that's coming within eight years or so, and I'm very
concerned about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Should it be allowed, and to hear me out, and
we might have touched on this before. I'm struggling with
the idea that someone who is a socialist or a
communist can run for office in this country. And to
those that say, well, they'll just lie about it. Yeah,
but if they lie about it, and govern differently than
what our constitution allows.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
They're kicked out of office. It's that simple.

Speaker 8 (01:05:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think the problem is once you
start going down that road, then everyone will be thrown out.
It will be prevented from running because there'll be some
sort of alleged qualification that they're not meeting ideologically. But
I agree with you that it is impossible impossible to
be a true socialist, which so Ron Mamdani is. In fact,

(01:05:32):
he's a communist. He's not just a socialist, he's an
actual Marxist communist, that's what he is. And I think
it's impossible to be a communist and be say that
you're going to support and defend the constitution of the
United States or the laws of the various states or
anything like that. I just don't think it's possible for

(01:05:54):
you to take an honest oath of office in most
places in this country and be a communist. I don't know,
you know, So I agree with you on that front,
I really do. I just I think at the end
of the day, we get the government that we deserve
as a people, understood, and if we get a socialist
or a communist running the largest city in America. It's

(01:06:16):
because there's something fundamentally wrong with the people at this point,
and we need to change or we're going to get
this kind of government and we're going to have we're
going to reap what we sew.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Unfortunately, Justin, is there any chance, and you could call
me way too optimistic, but is there a chance that
in the one year that happens between now and the midterms,
that Mom Donnie will go so far so fast that
New York bellies out, the people that support it leave.

(01:06:50):
All they have are a bunch of illegals moving in.
They go to this thirty dollars minimum wage, they go
to this nonsense of free bussing, which of course isn't free,
and we see the results and enough people see it
to go, yeah, that's not for us.

Speaker 8 (01:07:06):
Oh boy, you're do you act? Do you believe that?

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Do I believe that it's possible? Do I believe that
he'll do it? I don't know if he's sophisticated enough
to just slow himself down. If he doesn't, it could
actually be the best chance we have to beat it,
because it will collapse on itself in New York City.

Speaker 8 (01:07:29):
Yeah. Yeah, So here's the thing. I would love to
believe that the American voters are would do that, would
look at even if it is catastrophic, they would look
at that and say we don't want that. But the
reality is, after what we saw with Black Lives Matters
and some of the insane things that they were doing there,
and with COVID and some of the insane things that

(01:07:50):
were happening in the lockdowns and all of that, you
had whole cities being taken over or large parts of
cities being taken over in places like Seattle. You had
riots in Portland attacking federal buildings, and people still went
out and voted Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Okay, let me try to make an argument, and I'm
not gonna disagree with you, but I'm gonna try to
convince you for the half glass full out of this
nonsense that is the socialist takeover in New York City.
Hang on, ten minutes past the hour. Justin Haskins with me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
He is with the Heartland Institute, and my guest here
in the morning show, so we'll.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Pass the hour.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Justin Haskins, vice president of policy with the Heartland Institute,
senior fellow, and more importantly, our guest this morning here
on the program he joins us once a month. Here's
my argument, Justin, and why it's so important to me personally,
is because the capital city of Florida is literally one
elected seat from being socialist. They aren't as bold as

(01:08:57):
calling themselves that, but that's what they are, and they're
one vote. And here's my here's where I say it's
a different scenario than you correctly point out Black Lives Matter, Clantifa,
all the stuff that we've seen on the left coast.
But the difference to me is the policies of socialism,
when enacted, are largely economic and in the big Apple now,

(01:09:19):
the big red apple, right, I don't think there's a
way to escape the math that's coming to New York.
You can't do what mom Donnie's gonna do without driving
out the people that would that would make it possible
to do it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:34):
Yeah, I I totally agree. And in a world governed
by reason and logic, that would be what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Yeah, But I think the math is going to win
the day. But the math is going to win the day.

Speaker 8 (01:09:47):
There is there is a way out for them, and
the way out for them is to blame Donald Trump
and and and he is the boogeyman, and he will
still be president at that time, and they'll blame whatever
economic woes they're having an everyone else in America is
having on the Trump administration and the Republicans who are
running Congress, if they're still running Congress at that time,

(01:10:07):
that's what's going to happen. And the reality is on
the left, they have decided, they have made they have
decided it's time for socialism again. We're going to give
this another go. And because they believe they never really
got a fair shot to try it, that's what they think.
You know, all the all the other times communists China, Venezuela,

(01:10:27):
you know, all those places in Gola, they don't count.
So this is a this is a new this is
the This is their big chance. Bernie got screwed and
the two times that he ran for president, he got screwed.
This is their time to run again. This is their
time to make it happen, and they're going to get
their chance. Biden didn't go far enough. If they just
go further, they're going to win. Economic populism is the
wave of the future, and I think young people have

(01:10:50):
totally bought into this lie and they are willing to
give any strong man a chance right now because they're
not seeing positive results in their lives personally, and because
of that, because they feel like they've been screwed and
the economy is rigged against them, they are willing to
give any strong man a chance. And someone like Zoron

(01:11:11):
Mamdani or who knows AOC somebody else is going to
step into that role and is going to take charge
and is going to give socialism a real shot. And
whether we can survive that or not, it's a totally
different question.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
See, I think New York by going this route, they're
twenty years down the road before they can recover from
what is coming their way now. And that's best case scenario.
Let's talk about the shutdown for a second, justin we
seem to see a light at the end of that tunnel. Obviously,
this was a battle of wills. I don't know who

(01:11:46):
really wins this thing. Do you have your thoughts on
a winner and a loser?

Speaker 8 (01:11:51):
Well, I mean the public perception of it is that
the Democrats lost, which I suppose is something you know
that's positive.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
I'll drink to that. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
Other than that, I would say nobody really wins. The
American voter didn't win. All this does is restart a
completely dysfunctional government yep, that isn't working for us and
is spending way too much money and enslaving our children
and generations after that with debt, and this doesn't solve
any of those problems.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
All right, stand by, We're going to get out right now.
Come back with a few more minutes with Justin Haskins
this morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Justin

(01:12:43):
Haskins with me, vice president of policy with the Heartland Institute.
My guess for just a few more minutes. Justin was
just scolding me in the break for being way too optimistic.
But but I will say, you have facts on your.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Side, go ahead and break the news to our listeners
that you've totally depressed me with.

Speaker 8 (01:13:09):
Okay, So we ran a poll at the Ireland and
to doo with raths MUSSN reports national survey of voters
eighteen to thirty nine. So these are only voters under
forty likely voters, and we asked them all sorts of
questions about socialism, including do you want a democratic socialist
to be presidents of the United States? In twenty twenty eight.

(01:13:30):
More than half fifty three percent said yes, we do,
including thirty five percent of people who said that they
voted for Donald Trump thirty five percent. And it gets
worse from there. Sixty two percent said that the economy
is unfair for young Americans. Fifty five percent said that
they would support a law that would confiscate Americans quote

(01:13:51):
excess wealth, including things like second homes, luxury cars, and
private votes, in order to help young people buy a
home for the first time. Seventy six percent said that
they strongly agree or somewhat agree with nationalizing major industries
like healthcare, energy, and big tech in order to give
more control and equity to the people. That included a

(01:14:13):
strong majority of people who self identified as Republicans and
Trump voters. So young people are turning to socialism, and
it's radical socialism. And it doesn't matter if they're a
Republican or Democrat, if they voted for Trump or Kamala.
They want socialist policies and the left knows it, and
that's why they're running on this.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
I know what I would pin that on, But what
do you pin that on? What led to these people
having this idea?

Speaker 8 (01:14:42):
Well, there's a million reasons for it. I mean, there's
a fact that we've been teaching our kids in schools
for decades that you know, capitalism in America is terrible
and socialism is good. But I think the real heart
of this because we ask people and why do you
support Democrats socialism? The number one response we got was

(01:15:03):
housing prices are too expensive. And so I think the
heart of all of this is young people feel like
the economy is rigged against them and that they can't
build wealth for themselves. And because they can't get wealth
for themselves, they've become their debt slaves because of college,
they can't afford to buy cars or homes. They look

(01:15:24):
at the world and they say, why not. This is
the only chance we have is to have things taken
from other people and given to us. The system was
never fair for us, and our parents had it better
and our grandparents had it better than we do, and
it's not fair. And that's what they believe, and that's
what they've been taught their whole lives. And I think
that they are now voting on that idea, and there's
more and more of them now than there were before.

(01:15:45):
And I think the problem is only going to get worse.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
We have thirty seconds left before the promised time that
I said that, I said that I would get you
out if you go one step further. Is this really
a result of not teaching young people critical thinking skills?

Speaker 8 (01:16:04):
And yeah, one hundred percent. And history, that's a huge,
huge part of it. In history, and giving them a
strong moral foundation for why, an objective standard of morality
for how you decide what is good and what is bad.
It isn't based on who gives you the most stuff.
And that's what a lot of young people believe today.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Yeah, Adams was right. The Constitution's written for a holy
moral per people. So right, justin, thank you, and we'll
try to squeeze in one more visit next month.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
And we appreciate your time as always.

Speaker 8 (01:16:39):
Sounds good, sir, Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
All right, Justin Haskins with us this morning, twenty five
minutes past. We're not taking it right. We're going to
be on time. He had to go, doesn't mean I
have to go. How devastating are those poll results? Trump
voters eighteen to thirty nine, thirty five percent of them
are okay with socialism. Think about what Trump did buying

(01:17:10):
stock in American companies.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
The US government talking about taking over some of the
defense contractors. That's socialism.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
I know that I run the risk of upsetting some
of you when I'm critical of our president.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
But we have to be We cannot be lemmings, we
cannot be just wind up dolls that march to whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
We have to be critically thinking. And I brought that
last point out because that is crucial for you to
be teaching your kids critical thinking. That's why I have
been harping for better than two decades on the lack
of proper messaging by the Republican Party. They don't know

(01:18:14):
how to share the virtues the ideals of conservatism because
they're not fully all on board with it. Our hopes
are pegged on our faith in Christ, because it is

(01:18:36):
only through the virtue of a true North, on the
compass an anchored morality with virtues that do not change,
that you can embrace the ideals of conservatism. Remember what
Adam said. I've got the quote in here. I've got
a stack of papers that I refer to from time

(01:18:58):
to time. And Adams is the one who said that
the Constitution was written for a moral, religious people. It
is wholly inadequate to govern any other. Doesn't that make

(01:19:19):
sense what's happening in our country? Doesn't it? Twenty eight
minutes past the hour, money talk just a few minutes away,

(01:19:43):
Because we have money talk just moments away. I need
to be disciplined here and just get to the big
stories in the press box and try not to embellish
too much.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Bloody barwl breaks out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
As agitators protests Turning Point USA event at Berkeley.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
You see Berkeley, What a shock?

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Oh, this stuff doesn't happen. When was the last time
you saw a bunch of people show up at a
leftist rally to pick a fight. You're not going to

(01:20:25):
see people pick a fight at a leftist rally. Neo
Nazis might show up just to be jerks. They're not us.
You're just not going to see it. This is what
anyway I promised, I wasn't gonna the president proposing two
thousand dollars checks to Americans from tariff revenues. Now, of course,

(01:20:50):
the tariffs he's doing may or may not be legal
for him to do without Congress's approval, because the argument
has been made that they are in fact taxes because
the money goes to the Treasury. Trump has some good
counter arguments his legal team has. They've got a button
down defense on this, saying, well, if I can sign

(01:21:11):
trade agreements, why can't I do tariff deals. I could
do trade agreements without Congress. Why can't I do tariff deals.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
It's a good point I just pointed out earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
I think it was last week that John Roberts is
in a really tough spot because he's he's taken a
position on the issue of tariffs that he did not
take on Obamacare in terms of how he interprets law,
and that's problematic for him. Now I might be and
I'll be honest with you, at this point, I am
the only one pointing that out. I know of no
one writing about it in Scotis blog. I know of

(01:21:46):
no one writing about it anywhere in any of the publications.
The fact that the very argument he is using guts
his logic with Obamacare's ruling that he wrote, Supreme Court
may decide will decide sorry, if mail in ballots must
arrive by election day. This is going to affect a

(01:22:08):
lot of states, and of course they shouldn't count. Election
day is election day. Mail in ballots must be received
by midnight on election day. That's how I would interpret it.
I don't think it's complicated at all. And if a

(01:22:31):
state law runs a foul of what the federal government
says on that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
Issue, so be it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Oh well, there's certain things I think the states ought
to have latitude to do, But changing when votes can
be counted is a that's a whole nother story. I'm sorry.
It just opens the door to too much cheating, and
I think we saw that in twenty twenty. I absolutely do.
How many votes do we need? And a bunch of
states stopped counting at the same time? Are you kidding me? Anyway?

(01:22:59):
All right, we're going to come back. Howard Heisman is
going to be standing by and we have money talk.
We've got we've got things to talk about, and we
will We will do that next here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Ink Show with Preston Scott, Hello, Hello, anybody home by Fly.

Speaker 7 (01:23:20):
On News Radio one point seven double us LA.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
Time for some money talk with investment advisor Howard Heisman.
Enhanced financial Services securities and advisory services offered through NBC Securities, Inc.
Member Finra and SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly
owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA. Say that three times
the opinions expressed are not those of NBC Securities, Inc.

(01:23:53):
Or iHeartMedia. On appropriate matters, seek professional tax and our
legal advice. Howard, it seems as though it is becoming
somewhat vogue to issue the proclamation again that all we

(01:24:13):
need to do is tax the rich.

Speaker 6 (01:24:16):
Yes, and that's particularly true in a state like California,
as well as some others pressed them, the Service Employees
International Union has proposed a ballot men measure for this
next November, the twenty twenty six election out there, that

(01:24:37):
would call for a one time five percent wealth tax
on just the state's approximate two hundred billionaires, right with
the goal that if it gets on the ballot and
it passes, they believe it would raise about one hundred

(01:24:58):
billion dollars and they'd use that to help cover the
budget shortfall that has already been wrung up.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
And of course there's nothing to account for what would
happen if the two hundred billionaires left California.

Speaker 6 (01:25:12):
Yeah, a great point, and the probability is good that
at least some would leave. And I think it's I'm
going to go not far out on a limb and
say they're not going to get close to raising their
goal of one hundred billion. It's a bad idea, but nevertheless,
it's probably not the first nor the last bad idea

(01:25:33):
to come out of the state of California.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
Yeah, but you know what, Howard, bad ideas tend to
be somewhat universal. For example, we have, you know, and
we've documented it on these segments, a lot of people
using credit cards. But we're getting into that time of
year where people tend to use credit cards for holiday shopping.

Speaker 6 (01:25:55):
Yes, yes they do. In fact, about seventy four percent
out of four American consumers have said that they plan to,
you know, do their holiday shopping with the credit card.
And the interesting part though, is looking back over the

(01:26:15):
past year, Preston, over thirty one percent who put last
Christmas shopping bill on the card have yet to pay
off their balance.

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

Speaker 6 (01:26:27):
That's yeah, that's a real problem because typically your credit
card bills are twelve percent all the way up to
eighteen or twenty. So it's a it's a bad it's
a bad trim. But it's also I think it speaks
to the fact that particularly now there's a number of
folks who are really financially stressed.

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
You know, that's kind of a snapshot. Obviously, it gives
us a snapshot of one one part of the economy.
What about the markets?

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Is there something that's out there that kind of and
it tells us, let's say, in the month of October,
what was doing well and what wasn't doing well? And
do we gain anything from looking at stuff like that?

Speaker 6 (01:27:09):
Sure? So, you know, so this bull market that started
in twenty twenty two is really done extraordinarily well. It's
been making new highs. But if we look back to
the end of October, on October twenty eight, specifically, and
we take the standard Forest five hundred index, that's the
benchmark index for our markets, there was a game that

(01:27:33):
day of just under a quarter of one percent. However,
if you look a little deeper and you dig beneath
the rubble, what you find is only one hundred and
four of the hundred of the five hundred stocks Preston
actually closed tire that day, with three hundred and ninety
eight of those big stocks actually declining. That's what we

(01:27:57):
would call very weak market breath. You'd really like to
see a whole lot more companies in the positive on
a good day. That would be like, you know, that'd
be like a quarterback throwing ten passes and you know
eight of them are getting intercepted only two are getting complete.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
It's the weakest single day performance in an up day
in the SMP index going back to nineteen ninety thirty
five years ago. Wow, So I think it just again,
it remains to be seen, but we really want to
have much much more participation, more broadly based. We're hoping

(01:28:42):
to see this market continue to do well in the
coming year.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
Just real quick. From your experience, do the months of
November and December translate into a slowdown generally speaking, or
do people tend to be more active?

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
I think the holiday season historically has tended to be
good Preston okay, And that's particularly true when the first
ten months of the year have been positive by double
digits ten percent or more. And that's where we find
ourselves today. So more often than not we have a
holiday rally or at worst a flat market. Don't be

(01:29:20):
It's surprising and very rare to see big down news
in December.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
Howard, Thanks very much. We'll talk again in a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 6 (01:29:30):
I always look forward to Preston.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Thank you, Sir Howard Eisman with us this morning Money
Talk on the Morning Shore with Preston Scott. Tomorrow, Florida

(01:29:52):
Man share a story or two or three. Florida man's
been busy.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Doctor Bob McClure will join us from the James Madison Institute.
We'll get his thoughts on the polling from Florida Atlantic
University on fifty percent the Floridians are thinking about moving
out of Florida. Well, that ought to bring pricing of
prices of housing down.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
But we'll we'll, we'll kick that around. Hey, before we go,
a couple things. Number one, Orphanshade dot com. We've uh, we've.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Had our first donation. Remember, we need to raise fifty
five hundred dollars through this giving season, not fifty five
fifty five thousand dollars. Sorry, We're looking for a gift
of five thousand or more for a private concert with
Marvin Goldstein. You can reach out to me for the
details or just keep listening. We'll be telling you more

(01:30:51):
about that in the coming days. But orphanshade dot com
if you want to donate, i'd love for you to
pray about and consider doing, and the biggest gift possible
for some of you in business have had a good year.
Just remember house number six in the clickdown you're building
a house, and or the drop down menu you're clicking
building a house. We're going house number six WFLA, Preston Scott.

(01:31:14):
Whatever you want to put there, that's fine and they'll
know how to designate that giving. Lastly, and most important, veterans,
thank you. Thank you so much for serving our nation.
And I know for many of you you've been asked
to do things that you'd love to forget, but it's
because of your willingness to serve that we say thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
And so a heartfelt thank you for your service to
our country.

Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. All right, we
started the day with One Corinthians thirteen, verses four through seven.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
That's where we began. We talked about love. Oh yeah,
we talked about love. It's actually pretty strong devotional.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
Today and I encourage you to, if nothing else, listen
to the podcast for that right, even if you don't
listen to the rest of it. That's most important.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
That first five minutes is the most important segment of
the show, not even close. Big stories in the press
box on the subject of God's Word. Supreme Court rejecting
an appeal from a county clerk who sought to overturn
same sex marriage decision.

Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
Court said, no, we're not taking it up.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
It was an effort to try to get them to
revisit Obert fell and as.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Of now they're not going to do it. But the
Supreme Court will decide if mail in ballots must arrive
by election day.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Of course it should. That's one of those common sense things.
President Trump proposing two thousand dollars checks to Americans from
tariff revenues. Scott Bessen is out there saying so much checks,
maybe it'll come in another form like reduced taxes.

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
Wouldn't be quite the same, now, would it? I like
it would. Bloody barl breaking out at UC Berkeley.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Why well, because Turning Point was having a meeting in
the anarchists, the Clantifas.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Of the world. The mask Minions don't want any part
of that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
Talks about something going on at Abilene Christian University in Texas,
talked about the poor journalism going on at Fox News
and Yeah, a lot of stories today discussed, and of
course a very good visit with Justin Haskins from the
Heartland Institute. Friends, have yourself a great day and we'll

(01:33:44):
talk to you tomorrow
