Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
All right, I got my sword with me, the uh
one of my I don't know, half dozen or so
bibles I've got uh brought in uh my ESB study Bible.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Today.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I will be using this in the third hour of
the program. Normally I go digital just because you know,
this is this is a hefty sword. It's it's not
like you know, one of those Bibles that's giant print.
It's not like that. It is a study Bible. It's
study Bibles tend to be thicker. You've got a lot

(00:48):
of resources and and added content. And so I have
my study Bible here for later and uh and so
I'm I'm I'm ready. I'm ready today, but I'll go
digital for the devotion to start the radio program. Morning friends,

(01:08):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Oaseia,
I'm Preston, and we go to Philippians four, and I
want to set this up a little bit. Therefore, my brothers,
whom I love and long for my joy and crown,
stand firm. Thus in the Lord, my beloved. Let's pause

(01:28):
there for just a second. Do you have people in
your life that you're speaking into that you look at
them that way? My joy and my crown people that
you've poured into and he encourages them to stand firm

(01:53):
in the Lord. And then he gives a couple of
verses of instructions to scivic people whose names are in
the Book of Life. Come on, yes, And then he
says this, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will

(02:16):
say rejoice. That verse connects so perfectly to a verse
that says, count it all joy when you face trials

(02:37):
and tribulations. And then it goes into describing what comes
out of that, and and and it's important to note
counting it all joy when you have a difficult time.
And I've and i've I've even given messages on this

(03:00):
point of scripture, where you know, in sermons it's not
like you're you're being commanded to celebrate a bad thing,
like let's just say you lost your job. Hey, honey,
I got fired today. Let's go out. No, it says,

(03:27):
to count it all joy. Joy is different than happiness.
Happiness is surface level. Joy is deep. Joy runs deep.
Joy is connected to what you're anchored your your anchoring
your life to. And so rejoice in the Lord always,

(03:47):
and again I say, rejoice, rejoice, have joy, in the Lord,
trusting him in all circumstances. And then he and then
he tacks on rejoice. So those are the words I

(04:10):
want to start the day with. Whatever whatever comes, rejoice
in the Lord always and again, I say, rejoice if
if something, if a curve ball comes your way, and

(04:31):
you purpose in your mind right now, I'm not going
to be dismayed. I'm not gonna panic. I'm not going
to react. I'm going to back up, and I'm going
to rejoice in the Lord.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Lord.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You're allowing this for a purpose, and I'm going to
rejoice in that. I'm going to rejoice that you're working
all things together for my good. Because as I love you,
so again, I say, rejoice, Oh my soul, tell your soul, rejoice.

(05:10):
Ten past the hour, dud, don't you here. We're just
getting all fired up. Gang. Come on, let's spend time together.
Good morning show with him and me. Please, let's kick
you down like pals. All right, We've got to interrupt

(05:43):
for an announcement here from Florida Highway Patrol in the
area of Waculla County. All right, US ninety eight, approximately
two miles east of Newport in Wacola County, is going
to be shut down to one lane. Traffic is going

(06:04):
to be controlled by troopers on the scene until FDOT arrives.
This is due to the wildfire in the Saint Mark's
Refuge that is causing major visibility issues on US ninety eight.
All right, So for those and we're broadcasting into that

(06:25):
area on on on radio as well as iHeart. So again,
if you are traveling and you use ninety eight, two
miles east of Newport Wakulla County, they're going to go
to one lane. So here's my point, slow down because
you got people there and it's there's a wildfire in

(06:49):
the area that is creating issues. Now that gets back
to we are in a very dry period right now,
and you don't need to be burning anything. It's like
I've got one of those weed burners. I'm not putting
that thing out now, uh huh no, no, no, no, no,

(07:10):
So just keep that in mind. Okay, you're welcome. That's
why we're here. We are radio broad casters. We're not
radio narrow casters. We're broad casters. Speak broadly, all right.
It's the fourteenth of November seventeen seventy five. During the

(07:33):
American Revolution, Patriot troops under General Richard Montgomery capture Montrel.
We should have kept it. You should have kept it.
Nineteen fifty six. Supreme Court strikes down laws requiring segregation
on public buses. Took too long. Nineteen fifty six. Come on, now,

(07:56):
that should have been done long before that. Nineteen. But
that's when America was great. We solved problems. We're gonna
we're gonna tackle next week. Oh boy, we are gonna
have ourselves a segment. I'm not I'm not giving any

(08:19):
more way. I'll just say I came across something someone
discussed on a podcast, and I thought, oh, would this
be fodder for the show. So I will give full
credit where I'm borrowing the question. But we'll do that
next week. Let's see. Nineteen seventy one, Mariner nine becomes
the first satellite to orbit another planet, Mars My Sintz.

(08:48):
Nineteen eighty two Vietnam VET Memorial dedicated in Washington, DC.
And it was on this date two years ago that
Donna Sue Adolson was arrested at Miami International Airport with
a one way ticket for she and her honey to
Vietnam one way. She was arrested as she was leaving

(09:12):
the country. Why well, coincidentally or not, Vietnam is a
non extradition nation. They will not extradite people out of
their country. Isn't that interesting? There wasn't that an interesting
time to go to Vietnam and get some cheap you know, takeout.
She of course, was arrested for the murder of her

(09:34):
former son in law, of which she was convicted. Today
is national day of one thing. This is a day
to declare a national day of something, because all you
got is National Indian Pudding Day. I'll be honest with you.

(09:55):
I don't need to read the recipe. I don't want
to read the recipe. No, that is a hard no.
If I need a laxative, I'll do it a different
way than eating Indian food. I'll tell you that. Sixteen
minutes past the hour, let's get to more as we

(10:18):
un back the Morning show yesterday. When I saw this story,

(10:41):
I literally just sat back in my chair and started
giggling because my first thought was that my lead research
assistant got scammed. And you will understand why it happens
it is. It happened one to me. Years ago. I

(11:02):
read a story I did not know the source, and
I thought it was a legit story and it was
one hundred percent satire made up. Okay, So I'm immediately
thinking there is no chance this story is real. It

(11:25):
comes from news Nation, Okay, that's not a satire site.
And as I read into the story, I found a
few links, so I looked through it. In other words,
I did due diligence, and what you are about to

(11:47):
hear is one hundred percent true. Okay, one hundred percent.
I'm just gonna read. Astronauts embarking on long term space

(12:10):
missions could eat space food made from a protein powder
made up of thin air and urine. The European Space
Agency launched a pilot program called hobi one hobi Wan.

(12:39):
They've just added the he to obi wan, which is
an acronym for hydrogen oxidizing bacteria in weightlessness as a
source of nutrition hobi wan. It goes on to say
the protein powder, developed by finish startup Solar Foods, will

(13:01):
be tested by the European Space Administration in a future
mission aboard the International Space Station. It marks the first
time the kind of technology used to develop the powder
will be used in a space environment. The ESA said
the first phase of obi Wan, I'm a child of

(13:26):
Star Wars. When I was a teenager Star Wars came out.
I can't help but think of obi Wan. Wouldn't he
be honored? I look getness, someone just I don't believe
this is what I added by Luke, look at the

(13:53):
developing technology on the ground before testing those capabilities in
a microgravity environment like space developers hope so Lean that's
the name of it, will be widely used by space
agencies by twenty thirty five. So I went to the
and I went to the European Space Agency website and

(14:14):
here it is protein out of thin air ESAs pilot
Project hobi Wan launched. My favorite is the headline from
News Nation space food made from astronaut p to be

(14:34):
tested on ISS. So let's just hit the pause button
here for a second. All right, I'm gonna set aside
all of my childishness if I can, and I don't
know that I can. This just makes me laugh. Who

(14:55):
will be the first one to try it? What I mean?
I would imagine many of you have heard the same stories.
You've read the same accounts that people have at times

(15:15):
survived dehydration by consuming their own stuff. But could you

(15:35):
ever see yourself voluntarily taking your urine, mixing it up
with a little powder and calling it a meal, not

(15:57):
out of desperation, but because that's part of the menu.
Could you ever envision yourself doing that? I cannot, I can't.
The gag reflex would be instantaneous. Could you imagine if,

(16:20):
like you served it up, You're up there at the
International Space Station, You're the chef. You're the person in
charge of prepared meals for everybody, and uh, what's this
looks like? It looks like some weird apple sauce. Oh no,
it's it's good, made it myself. Joy No, no, no, no,

(16:47):
no toy.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's the hour. O MG. Let's get into the big
stories in the press box for the first time today
on the program. This is a story from Florida Voice,

(17:12):
Florida's Voice, and it's a survey. Vast majority of Florida
voters say they should decide marijuana legalization, not politicians. The
posters are Republicans, Tony Fabrizio, David Lee, and it's not
even close. First of all, Floridians believe that they should

(17:36):
have a say on constitutional amendments, and I believe they
largely do. I think voters have to decide that. That's
ninety two percent that they should have to say on
constitutional amendments. Now let's back up for justice. Well, before
we back up, eighty nine percent believe that they should
make the decision on marijuana one way or the other.

(17:57):
Not saying that eighty nine percent approve of it, just
that eighty nine percent think that an amendment dealing with
the legalization of marijuana should be decided by voters, not politicians.
Eighty four percent of Republicans, ninety three percent of Democrats
or independents, and ninety four percent of Democrats. So that's

(18:18):
I mean, that's that's large. Here's the problem. It is
just what it is. But voters in this state put
pregnant pigs in the state constitution, protections for pregnant pigs

(18:41):
in the constitution. All I'm saying is in spirit, I
do not disagree. In practice, We're in trouble because people

(19:02):
make bad choices. And I'm going to continue to tell
you that if you legalize marijuana in this state, you
will regret it, Your children will regret it and pay
the price, and your grandchildren will regret it and pay
the price. It is fraught with boy the states that

(19:24):
have done it, by and large, they wish they had
to do over. It has been a bad, bad outcome.
I won't fight some of the fights that I have
when I talk about this topic. I'll just simply say
I'm right. The Department of Transportation has revoked seventeen thousand

(19:48):
CDLs that were handed out illegally to foreign drivers in
California alone. Seventeen thousand and this, according to Sean Duffy,
the Secretary of DOT, is the tip of the iceberg.
California's Department of Motor Vehicles admitted to illegally issuing seventeen

(20:12):
thousand CDLs to foreigners. You think they've all been caught,
You think they all They don't even know what we
just said. Many of the if not most, all of
the foreign drivers driving don't know what I just said.

(20:37):
If you haven't seen it, go to my blog page
and check out the pullover of a foreign national maybe
here illegally, may not but can't speak the language, can't
read the language. Check out the communication. It is hilarious.
And then the final big story, Over six hundred illegal
immigrants were awarded one hundred and twelve million dollars after

(20:59):
a new York jury finds the county libel for unlawful
ICE detentions. Now, there are problems with what happened here,
but the question becomes, why were any any of these
people who are in this country illegally? Why were they
subject to being released without ice? Having the final say

(21:28):
back with more forty one minutes past the hour.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven, dou WUFLA or on newsradiou WFLA Panama
City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
How is it that Patrick Tata Domiak has not been
pardoned yet? The President's dition out all kinds of pardons. Cool,
that's his right. Fine, there's some people connected to Jay

(22:16):
six getting pardoned. Good, but what about Tate. I posted
something on our X page, Mister President at real Donald Trump,
while you are righting wrongs with pardons at potus, in

(22:38):
the name of God, pardon Patrick Tata Domiak. The US
United States ATF framed him and he's doing twenty years.
He should be leading Navy seals look into his case.
And then I linked to the gun writer Lee Williams.
Any of you that are busy on social media, please

(23:00):
grab my post and share it, please please. I don't
have a verified account, so I the account still gets
suppressed by Elon's people because it's not verified yet. My
bosses are supposed to get the thing verified so that

(23:20):
we can finally get you know, because we should have
far more than what is it, eight hundred and thirty
nine followers? Whatever? The bottom line that way is we
this needs to be a thing. I'm about to I've
enlisted the help of US Senator Rick Scott, I've enlisted

(23:43):
the help of US Senator Tommy Tubberville. We're not getting
it done. So I'm about to go to my bulldog.
I got somebody else in Congress that I have imminent
faith and trust in pushing this issue, and that's going
to be I'm gonna ask Kat Camick to get involved
in this, even though it's not her district, it's not

(24:04):
her thing. I need her. I need her to make
this a thing anyway. One pardon that does exemplify the
regulatory overreach and absurd prosecutions that have taken place federally.

(24:24):
The President has pardon Michelinos Sinceri. You ever heard of him.
He's a mountain runner. He is a mountain runner who
set a record by running Wyoming's Grand Teetan Trail. And

(24:45):
when I say running, check out what this guy did
September second, twenty twenty four, climbing and descending the thirteen thousand,
seven hundred and seventy five foot peak in two hours,
fifty minutes and fifty seconds. He went up and back
down in less than three hours, thirteen miles up and down.

(25:11):
But he was convicted in September of twenty twenty four
of a petty regulatory offense after taking a brief detour
off an official trail, and so Wyoming based federal prosecutors
charged him with violating a rule that forbids leaving the
designated trailer walkway, even though he used a trail that

(25:33):
other mountain runners have used four years and it was briefly,
so they prosecuted the guy. And when he refused their
offer of paying a five thousand dollars fine and accept
a five year ban from the park he owed by

(25:55):
the way is sponsored by the North Face. He offered
to do community service and assist in closing or rehabilitating
the trail, but his offers were rejected, so he got convicted.
Presidents pardoned him. That's the kind of crap that our
government focuses on instead of illegal immigrants. Now again that's changing.

(26:18):
We're righting wrongs. But this is you've got to be
kidding me. That's why the story stood out. Really, a
dude left the trail for a few yards. We spent time,
tax dollars on that. Forty seven minutes past. Come back,

(26:43):
I've got a very exciting update from Orphan Shade. All right,
the government shutdown is over. Snap benefits will be resumed
within twenty four hours of the signing, which was yesterday.

(27:06):
In there is a provision that will keep that from
happening to some of the benefit packages that help Americans
for at least a year, they won't face that. But
this only goes to January, so we're going to be
right back fighting. So we'll see what happens with the

(27:26):
vote on Obamacare subsidies. US Senator Rick Scott has alternative ideas.
We're going to try and get the Senator on the
show to talk about. He's got a plan, thank you,
just ideas, how lovely. So that'll be hopefully something we'll
fit in in the next week or two with US

(27:47):
Senator Rick Scott. I told you I had exciting news.
Yesterday a donation of three thousand dollars came in to
Orphan Shade. And so I don't know exactly where we are.
I'm guessing we are between four and five thousand dollars raised.
Our goal is fifty five thousand and Orphan Shade. If
you are not aware, go to Orphanshade dot com. You

(28:09):
can learn all there is to know about it. It
is it's not a home for it's not an orphanage.
It is a home for orphans. It is it is
creating family. It is changing a nation's trajectory, one child
at a time. These are young girls five to ten
years of age that they provide a home for because

(28:32):
both their parents have died. It's usually because of AIDS
HIV and as a result, these children are if not
taken in by an organization like you know, Orphan Shade,
which is there's very I don't know if anything like it.

(28:53):
That's why we partnered with them in twenty twenty two
and helped build home number three. Well, this is home
number six. They've raised the money for Home number five.
They'll build that next year. They're hoping to build Home
number six and they've asked us if we would be
willing to step in and help raise money. Our goal
is to raise all of it, but it's a lofty goal,

(29:16):
you know. When it all came in, we had forty
thousand dollars a little better than forty thousand raised for
Home number three, and then we raised support. This is
all about building Home number six. And so I'm just
going to remind you if again, business owners, man, individuals,
you've had a great year business wise and you can

(29:37):
do something. You can step up and give a big
gift that would be amazing. It would it would be amazing.
And there's a five thousand dollars offer on the table
for the first person or business to give a five
thousand dollars or more donation to build Home number six.

(30:00):
Arvan Goldstein, internationally known renowned concert pianist, will do a
one hour private concert for you. It can be for
an office party, it can be for a gathering of
family and friends, but it needs to be in the
Tallahassee region, somewhere around the capital city, Leon County. It
has to be an adjoining county that touches Leon County

(30:22):
or Leon County, and it can be you know, around
the holidays, it can be in the new year wherever.
You just got to have a piano tuned up and
or a digital keyboard Ada key keyboard. So if you're
interested in doing that, give let me know you gave.

(30:42):
When I verified the gift. You will have that wonderful,
wonderful blessing. And thank you Marvin for making that available

down Build a house and you want to make a
note home number six WFLA or The Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Steve Stewart joins me next. All right, let's

(31:12):
do it the second hour Thursday on the Morning Show
with Trust Scott. You know, two weeks from now, it's
already Thanksgiving. It's tough to get my brain around that,
but it is. Hey, before we get with Steve Stewart,
here just real quickly from Florida Highway Patrol for those
of you listening in the Waculla County area, US ninety eight,
two miles east of Newport is being shut down to

(31:35):
one lane. Traffic will be controlled by troopers until FDOT arrives.
The reason there is a wildfire in Saint Mark's Refuge
that has limited visibility dramatically. It is dangerous to drive
in the area just because of his ability. So just
keep that in mind, Okay, and know that that's going
on if you're making commutes in and around. All Right,

(31:56):
it's time to talk with Steve Stewart, executive editor at Tallahasse.
She reports the website Talascireports dot com. Good morning friend,
Good morning, how are you? I am terrific, how are you? Oh?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Relevant?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Okay, Well, let's just dive on in Covey, uh, Leon
County schools. Are they really thinking about raising taxes?

Speaker 4 (32:19):
It's so interesting to see the you know, the state
move to try to look at property taxes and how
we can get rid of them.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
And we've got here the.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Leon County school Board looks like they'll be taking a
vote to increase property taxes to pay teachers. And that's
always sort of yeah, this is going to be an
issue in our community where we were overwhelmingly supported the
Children Services Council tax.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
I think it was like seventy percent. You know, we
like taxes here in Leon County. How about cutting some
administrative bloat in the counties. Well, I mean, look, there's
the issue we've heard about.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Superintendent Hannah talk about the financial struggles of the school board.
They're cruising students, yes, And we've heard Alvis Smith talk about,
you know, we've got to close some of these schools
that are not at capacity or capacity, and that's happening
all over the state and so it looks like they're trying.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
You know, nobody wants to This is something you never
see school.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Boards redistricting anymore because it's it always is an issue.
It takes courage to figure out, hey, we got to
move these districts around because we have these issues.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
They don't want to ever do it.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
And we still have people in Colarnia states that are
zoned for Lincoln and you know, over Childs, which is
crazy if they do so they don't do that. And
the other thing is they don't want to close schools.
And and however, I would tell you around this around
the state there are people closing schools because of financial struggles. Here,
it appears they're going to try to hang on and

(33:42):
they're they're they're negotiating with the Leon County Teachers Association
union and they're at an impasse, which means they're going
to bring a third person in to look at the
school finances and say, yeah, you know, you don't have
enough money for teacher salaries that they want, so you
would have to raise taxes and then they're gonna have
to vote on it, and and so you know, it's

(34:02):
it's one of these things that we always talk about.
You know, who would vote to give city commissioners a
pay raise? Well, evidently a majority of people only in.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
The city talent, as he did. So I am through
saying that some you know, things like this don't make sense.
They won't pass. I would say this would absolutely pass.
And I think that we're I would predict because they'll
they'll deceive everybody and say that that's the only option
and it's for.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
The kids exactly, that's what they'll say. And I think
that talking about it looks like twenty six million dollars
over three years. And so so anyway, that's where we're headed.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Close some schools tightened the belt at the administrative level,
and let's see where we are. Yeah, I think that's
what you know.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
I think again, moderate conservative minded people want to do,
but that's not the community.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
That we're at.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I mean, look, people politicians know.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
What they can get away with away with, and looking
at the referendums that have been voted on. Here, Hey,
it's it's it's an easy way to get more money.
And you know that's how about borrow some money from
the Children's Services Council. Those are all good ideas. I mean, look,
that's ten million dollars a year right there.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
They're not doing anything with it.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Well yeah, and so but that you know, this will
be something to keep an eye on and the vote
at least they'll be a vote and people will be
on the record, right, you know, supporting or not. I
think that what you will see is from Alvis Smith,
you will see a lot of pushback because this was
her issue of identifying these five or six schools that
are blown you know, seventy percent. I think she'll obviously

(35:34):
push for that. You know, the classic winning strategy is
to cut expenses and raise taxes. That's what they'll probably
do is they'll say, look, we've done this, we're still short.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
I'll hold my breath until that happens. Right, We'll see
what happens. But that would be ideal if they if
they were to actually say, okay, we're going to take
this measure and then come back to us and say
We've tried this, we still are short. Here's where we
need to get to. But that's if there's some kind
of political payback.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
I mean again, they could probably just request a you know,
a tax increase and it would pass with sixty five percent.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Of the vote. Sounds like a story for Tealhassa Reports
an expose on the an expose underperforming because of attendance schools.
But we've seen an exodus from public schools, so the
money's traveling somewhere else. Exactly ten past the hour more
with Steve Stewart.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Next, Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
All Right, I'm sorry I got to rehash this for
just a second with Steve Stewart of Tallassi Reports. You
said the number that's being kicked around that they want
to raise is about what twenty six mil. I did
the math just real quickly, folks, roughly eight thousand dollars
follows a student when they leave a school, all right,
wherever they go, that's where that money goes. There are

(36:57):
roughly thirty three hundred less students, give or take in
the school system now that have left the school system
and have gone to other schools, private schools, homeschools, virtual schools.
Guess what that dollar figure adds up to twenty six million,
four hundred thousand. I'm sorry, that just is too convenient

(37:20):
for me. So they're just trying to make up for
missed revenue because kids are leaving the system. You're very
proud of your math I yeah, I'm very proud because
math doesn't come into this show very often. But while
we're on the subject of the mathematical certainties of life,
you have done a story that's generated quite a bit
of interest on Tallassemorial Hospital and the salary of Mark O'Brien. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
I mean, you know, this is in a way uncomfortable,
but in a way is like, you know, really, I mean,
this is a basic story that any journalists would write,
you know.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
And so we got into this because the Democrat, the talents.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
The Democrat I actually asked TMH about mister Bryant's salary
and they were told, you know, we're we're not going
to tell you. We're private, not profit, and we don't
think we have to tell you. And this was a
story where they wrote about President McCullough's salary because why
because it's public record and they have to, you know,
but TMAH for some of he just says, no, we're

(38:20):
not going to tell you. So the Democrat went back
two years to find a salary that he was making
one point eight million dollars a year. So I decided
to start digging myself. And what we found is just
it's a little bit unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
And you can see the story. And again, this is
not this is not personal, okay.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
I mean, look, he obviously is very adept at telling
people how much he's worth, and they're giving him a salary, okay,
But over the last five years he's made more money
in compensation than the CEOs of Shann's Hospital, which has
twice a revenue, and Tampa General Hospital, which has about
two and a half times a revenue. Now, the thing is,

(39:00):
that's a story, okay, but you would be amazed at
like the blowback that you get for actually publishing that, okay.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
And again we've published a salary of the.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
President of FSU, but no other media outlet in Leon
County has published the stuff that we discovered. And again
it's there to be had, not from tmahs. You got
to go somewhere else to get it. And so those
numbers are a little bit crazy. When you think about it.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
One would think it matters because of the interconnectivity that
has existed for decades between the City of Tallahassee and
the hospital. And let me add another layer to this.
I also think it matters because there are staffing positions
inside the hospital that they do not have. And is
it because they can't afford it?

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Well?

Speaker 4 (39:46):
See, And that's a great point in terms of the
connection between the city and the connection between TMHs, because
most people view this as like, oh, well, that's a
community hospital. You know it is a non profit. Well,
this nonprofit hospital is a quasi governmental entity. And the
reason for that is because the city doesn't charge them rent.
They charge them a dollar for the building to provide services.

(40:08):
So it means that taxpayers are basically donating about a
million dollars a month to TMH because you would be
paying that in rent. The second thing is the city
helps that is a conduit for bond financing for any
kind of growth, all right. And the third thing is
the city appoints, they approve the board members of TMH.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
So ooh, that's that's quick.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
So anyway, that is it is connected, and so the
fact that we don't know this or that teammates thinks
that they can just not report this is amazing beyond
the actual.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Dollar figures that is being paid to the CEO. All right,
when we come back he mentioned the blowback, We're gonna
We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to why
this story has been ignored by all the other media outlets.
There are a lot of aspects of this story that
have been ignored. Why sixteen past the hours The Morning

(41:02):
Show with Preston Scott, twenty one minutes past the hour, Sorry,
Live agree, twenty one minutes past the hours is The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Steve Stewart with me from

(41:24):
Tallassei Reports the website tallasse Reports dot com. Let's circle
back for just a second. You touched on the compensation
of the CEO for the hospital, and this can come
off as being remarkably personal, but it's a it's it
reflects the business operation of the hospital, right and it's
connected to this community. And we just said to the
city government so and the conversation is an issue because

(41:46):
it has been written about because of the merger.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Of FSU and TMH, and so the compensation is you know,
the last four years is you know, is very between
one point eight million to three point seven million to
three point one million annually annually annually, and you know,
we were told that one of them was high because
it was a one time payout for a retirement program
that he is a part of, which but then we
go and find out that, wait a minute, he had

(42:09):
another payout two years earlier in the same program. So
it's just again it's one of these things that should
be more it should be more transparent in how we're
dealing with this because again, as we said, this is
a quasi government entity. Now, on that note, because of
the news of the TMH FSU Academic Health Center, obviously
this is there's a lot of stuff being covered about

(42:31):
the operations and stuff, and it is you know, we
was covered by you Well, this is the thing.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Look, we wrote a basic two hundred word story about
a campaign donation from the board chair, which we you know,
from the and we thought it was newsworthy because it
was a TMH board chair to Commissioner Jeremy Matlow. Sally
Bradshaw was the former chief of staff of Jeb Bush
donated her and her husband and one of her businesses
donated three thousand dollars of Jeremy Mattlow. And there's nothing

(42:57):
wrong with that, nothing wrong with it, but it is
in the mid negotiations' and tmah and she's on the
board and Jeremy Mallow is trying to blow up the
negotiations and so it does. And again we so we
just ran a little two hundred word story.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Nobody else covered it, which is again I thought, laffling, baffling,
but then maybe I found out why, because boy, you
would think, I, you know, really hit somebody between the
eyes with the undercut, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Games a campaign contribution. And so the re the retaliation,
which we won't you.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Know, give names and stuff has started, okay, and on
Tallas Reports for reporting that, and it is It's.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Amazing to me.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
And this really hearkens back. I actually have the I
have the energy now that I had like ten years
ago when I was covering city hall corruption. This is
what this reminds me of because we used to get
the same type of blowback when we would just take
a document that had numbers on it, and you know,
they'd be threatening advertisers and you know, taking me off

(44:01):
their Christmas party list, I know. Yeah, and so we
had gone through a period that where you know, hey,
we're just doing some you know, we've become a community
the newspaper.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
But here it is again retaliation. You touched the wrong nerve.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Yeah, but we you know, so look, the thing about
TMH is I think they're getting ready to find out
that they're not just a private not for profit. You know,
we've asked for some documents from TMH, and we've cited
the law. We've cited cases in the state law where
hospital boards are subject to public records law.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Okay, and so we're going to see. We're going to
see how they respond.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
I don't think they've ever been asked, and we can
get into why, but I don't think any local media
dare ask TMH for anything. And the example being this, well,
you know when they say we don't have to provide
the salary, wouldn't you think a very aggressive journalist or
one that might even just be competent, we'd say, well,
wait a minute, why don't you you're interconnected with the city.

(44:57):
Let me look a little bit and see about this.
And that's what we So we sent in a request
and you know, we'll see what happens. But my argument
is that TMH is subject to public records request. Their
their argument they haven't. I don't think they've been challenged.
So we'll see what they say, and then we can,
you know, we can writchet up a little bit, but

(45:18):
it's pretty clear in state law that they need to
be providing public record documents.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
And you don't have a dog in this fight. What's
gonna happen is gonna happen. You're there to cover it,
whether it's f SU TMH or whether it's TMH and
somebody else. You're just covering it.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
We've written two stories about this, okay, the campaign donation
and the salary of a CEO of a billion dollar
institution in Leon County, and the blowback has been crazy.
That one of the things, first of all, and I
don't know, I don't know how widespread the blowback is.
It could just be insiders, but it really talks about
the immaturity of our community on a couple of different levels,

(45:52):
you know, because.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're really and and the thing just parts of our community.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
Part that's what I meant, parts of it. But the
thing about it is, though president is the other media outlets.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
I mean really, Oh, I can explain it, but I won't.
That is basic stuff. This isn't like my opinion.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
This is like you're not going to write that the
TMA CEO made three point one million and they won't
tell you.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
What his current sorry is that's not an article. I
don't know. That seems a little uh you know what.
The blowback reminds me of what the classic line from Shakespeare,
doth protesteth too much? Yeah, I mean it is. I
tell you what those back in the day when you
wrote stories, you expect when I wrote stories, I get documents,

(46:33):
you know, and I would say, oh, this is gonna yeah.
This though caught me completely for blood Field because it
was just so basic. Yeah, a campaign contribution. But you know,
miss Bradshaw was not happy. I will tell you whatever. Yeah,
it's okay, thanks for doing it.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Thank you, Preston.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Appreciate your work.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Steve Stewart.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Subscribe support the paper, independent investigative reporting and as we
demonstrate every single week, stories you just won't find anywhere else.
Why that is, that's up to you to figure out.
But I'm just grateful we have the stories, and we
have the data, and we have the facts to support
these stories, and we talk about it here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
And this is the Preston Scott Show.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Scott a note from members of FHP thanking us for
mentioning what's going on out in Gadson County. You're welcome,
We're doing our job, happy to help. If you're not
aware of what's happening, it is important for you to
know that in Waculla County, US ninety eight, about two

(48:00):
miles east of Newport, has been shut down to one lane.
Troopers have been working it. They were going to hand
it over to FDOT because of a wildfire in the
Saint Mark's Refuge that is limiting visibility. Now how long
it remains that way we have obviously we don't know,

(48:20):
but that's the latest information. So if you are driving
in and around the area, I would I would recommend
a detour get away from it. But just know that
that I mean, those are the types of situations that
can lead to a really bad wreck. Not paying attention,
all of a sudden you're not seeing visibility, the visibilities down,

(48:41):
you're not seeing things as well, and then all of
a sudden there's a slow down or even a stoppage,
and then you've got a chain reaction wreck. So I'm
you know, you know, just create a little space between
yourself and other vehicles on the road, you know, so
there's a little bit of a buffer there, and slow
it down and be advised. All right, So we'll if

(49:04):
we get any updates, we'll let you know what's going
on that has made its way as one of the
big stories in the press box. Doctor David Hartz joins
us in just a few minutes. Kind of the headlines
on the big stories here. Vast majority of Florida voters
say they should decide marijuana legalization, not the elected politicians.

(49:24):
I don't disagree with that, it's just we've seen bad
decisions made. I mentioned pregnant pigs last hour. How about
the minimum wage? You've locked it in now the minimum
wage is locked to the consumer price index. If it

(49:45):
goes up, wages go up, it's automatic, can't It should
be the marketplace that determines that. It is a disastrously
poor decision. Voters make bad choices. Well, that's just the
way it is with the democracy. Well, we're a constitutional republic.
But I'm just pointing out if you vote yes on
the marijuana amendment, you will rue that decision because states

(50:07):
that have done it are regretting it. I won't waste
time on it right now, but we will eventually talk
a lot about that. And oh, by the way, to
all wallmakers, the gathering of the petitions is not being
done legally. They are not getting the verification of the

(50:27):
person signing. They're not showing a driver's license, they're not
showing that they're a Florida resident. They're not showing or
giving the last four other socials. How do you know that, Preston,
I've watched. I've watched three different times, in three different
locations people collect signatures, and not once has anyone been
asked to show ID or been given or have given
their information. Not once I've watched it. I know for

(50:50):
a fact. Sean Duffy, Secretary Department of Transportation, announced yesterday
that the California Department of Motor Vehicles has admitted to
illegally issuing seventeen thousand CDLs to foreign drivers. Seventeen thousand.
They're on our roads, they've killed people here in Florida,

(51:15):
and over six hundred illegal immigrants awarded one hundred and
twelve million after New York jury finds the county liable
for unlawful iced attentions. They kept people even after they
posted bail, resolved their criminal cases. Yeah, but if they're
here illegally, why were we why would we let them out? Anyway? Well,
they're giving them one hundred and twelve million dollars. Let's

(51:38):
do the math real quick. I'm big on math today.
On today's show, one hundred and twelve million dollars divided
by six hundred they're going to each get one hundred
and eighty six thousand dollars. And who's going to pay that? Taxpayers?

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Forty minutes pass.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
The hour, Doctor David Hart standing by him.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on news Radio one
hundred point seven w f LA.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Let's get you feeling better, in fact, not just feeling better,
let's go for optimum health naturally. Joining me, Doctor David Hart.
See I see what I did there?

Speaker 5 (52:35):
You did. You're very good.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Okay, I've been I can't wait to have this discussion
with you. Does barefoot walking help your health?

Speaker 5 (52:48):
Well? You know what you know, when I first saw
this years and years ago, I thought it was just
another effort to worship to create it the stead of
the Creator, you.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Know, oh for sure.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
But as I've kind of looked at.

Speaker 5 (53:04):
This through the years and people have done more studies
on it. Now, the studies aren't big, they're not a
lot of people, but there's a lot done, and sometimes
they're done by people trying to sell stuff. But when
you start looking at it, boy, there seems to be
some connection between our bodies and the earth that do
seem does to be very much beneficial to us and
a lot of different ways. And it's been measured kind

(53:27):
of quantitatively through cortisol levels, through rates of healing, through sleep,
effectiveness of sleep, and circadian rhythms being improved. I mean,
it's just all kinds of things they've done with this.
And so there does seem to be a connection between
some of the cells of our body and this earth
that we're sitting on. And I don't know why we're

(53:47):
made that way, but the one that puts together did it.
And so I think it's really interesting to be able
to see we're totally our whole lives are basically separate
from the earth. When we walk, we have rubber on
our shoes that insulates us from it, we're sleeping far
away from it. Many times we're sleeping above the second floors,

(54:09):
away from the earth. So it's something that we don't
contact as much as we did earlier in our history.
So it is possible that this is causing problems. Been
able to measure inflammatory rates, which is very interesting. Course,
inflammation is such a major problem, and we know it is,
but it does seem that when we get connected back

(54:30):
or even we're sleeping on the ground or we're walking
on beaches or out where we're actually totally connected to it,
they measured this that some of the inflammatory rates in
our body decrease, and that's always important. And so I mean,
there's people that it's amazing when you read all this,
and I try to read a lot before I talk.

(54:50):
There's all different sides to this, but I tell you
it looks like it's the same old medical discouragement on
anything that could be natural. As soon as you get
something that's natural that actually helps people that is not
a drug, then there's all kind of disparaging ideas about it.
But when you actually do research on it, there seems
to be some changes. So the bottom line is what
do we do. We try to get out and get

(55:11):
ourselves connected as much as we can. And we go
out and you know, we go out into the beaches,
we go out and walk. We can go out and
get our feet on the ground for maybe twenty minutes
a day. It's not a bad idea. I mean, there's
people that hook beds to it and everything else for
me to need to go that crazy, but I think
keeping our feet on the ground, on even on cement

(55:33):
is a good idea. And just you know, not being
totally separated from this thing that you know, the Creator
created called the earth and it well, I was just well, I.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Was going to ask because we've talked over the years,
doctor Hart's about the fact that, for example, the nutrient
level of our soils has greatly been diminished, and you
know kind of what big agriculture has done with the
pesticides and the different things that are in the grounds. Now,
I'm curious how much of that might might connect to

(56:06):
people being separated a little bit. They don't trust putting
their feet on the dirt anymore.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
Well, yeah, no, And it's way society has developed. You know,
we we we separated ourselves away from it by just
you know, having shoes and things that keep us away
from it. But it's also just the idea that you know,
you you do want to get separated from things that
aren't really healthy, and there's a lot more things that
are unhealthy on the ground they used to be. But yeah,

(56:32):
I just I think it's a whole pattern this occurred.
And when you look at the research, I mean, even
hook electroes across wound healing and get it kind of
grounded back to the earth, they seem to heal faster.
There's there's something going on there, and I think it's
a good idea. Just you know, when we're thinking about it,
get out instead of walking with you know, your feet

(56:54):
got rubber between you and the beach. Get your feet
out on the ground. You know, it's I think it's
a good idea.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Dr Arts, thanks as always for the time. We'll talk
again next month.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Okay, have a great day.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Question, Thank you, sir. Doctor David hearts with us. We
only have one more visit this year because of Thanksgiving
in the Christmas holiday, so he'll join us next month
for one more visit for the year. For this season
of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, I had to

(57:48):
let that just play a little bit huh. Road trip
idea inspired by a listener of the program who is
heading to Callaway Gardens because the Festival Lights begins tomorrow night.
If you've not been, apparently they're doing something for the

(58:11):
first time ever this weekend. They are holding it open
for bike trails for people riding their bikes. They haven't.
They've grown this thing. They've got an amazing like Christmas
village and then you can jump on the trolley or
you can drive your own car through, but I recommend

(58:31):
the trolley. And you're outside, you can get hot chocolate
and you can bundle up and freeze your two d off.
But if you've never been to the Festival of Lights
at Calloway Gardens, go, If you've never stayed, give it

(58:52):
a shot. The beds used to be really hard. I
don't know if they've changed them at the lodge, but
it's still worth it because of the grounds. They got
two really pretty nice golf courses up there, and not
just that, they have the Birds of Prey exhibit. They've

(59:18):
got a butterfly garden.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
And they have.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
These beautiful trails. They've got an old church that's tucked
in there that you can walk to. It is absolutely
worth it, absolutely one hundred percent. So my road trip
idea is to make a drive three hours three and
a half hours away and head into the mountains of Georgia.
It's not far away from the capital city or from

(59:46):
Panama City. It's really not and it makes for a really,
really fun weekend. And if you go, go and enjoy
the Festival of Lights, it runs through the new year,
so it's it starts now and it runs through the
new Year, and you'll have a great time. It'll be fun,
you'll love it all. Right, before we get to the

(01:00:08):
top of the hour, and we are going to talk
about Noah's Ark, because there's a possibility. I know some
of you are like, we have seen these stories for years. Well,
I'm looking at thermal imaging that says something is worth
talking about here, So we're going to talk about it.

(01:00:30):
I'll do that in a few minutes. But this story
falls under the category of figures figures. Port Saint Lucy
Police Department, responding to a call of disturbance inside at home,
come upon a fifteen year old young lady named Amy Chance.
She's outside holding a shovel. Police drive up and she

(01:00:50):
promptly takes the shovel and starts destroying the police car.
Fifteen year old girl. They come out, they've got their
tasers out. They say put the shovel down. She eventually does,
and then flips them off, and eventually they arrest her

(01:01:13):
felony charges. Fifteen year old. Remember what I said about
the inability to cope? It is epidemic. I'm telling you,
we are reaping a couple generations of bad parenting and
it starts young. I don't know what's wrong with this

(01:01:38):
little girl. It doesn't matter that reaction to whatever was
going on is an example of someone not able to
control their emotions. I've seen it happen, and we are
reaping the results of not ellen kids know when they're little,

(01:02:02):
little littles. All right, we've got we've got the news
coming up. Come back with fascinating story. Have they found
Noah's Ark? Really? Continuing the Thursday edition of the Morning

(01:02:37):
Show with Preston Scott Show number fifty four to ninety four.
Next week we will we will get to show fifty
five hundred that's crazy? Really is anyway? Welcome to the
third hour of the radio program, and we're going to

(01:02:58):
have a different kind of a couple of segments here
on today's show. In Genesis six, it says, in verse thirteen,

(01:03:21):
God said to Noah, I have determined to make an
end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence,
and through them, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in
the arc, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

(01:03:44):
This is how you are to make it. The length
of the arc is three hundred cubits, Its breadth is
fifty cubits. Its height is thirty cubits. Make a roof
for the arc and finish it to the cubit above,
and set the door of the ark on its side.
Make it with lower, second and third decks. For behold,

(01:04:09):
I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth
to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of
life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
But I will establish my covenant with you, and you
shall come into the ark, you, your son's, your wife,

(01:04:30):
and your son's wives with you, And of every living
thing of all flesh. You shall bring two of every
sort into the ark to keep them alive with you,
And they shall be male and female. The account of
Noah's Ark is fascinating in scripture, and it has been

(01:04:54):
a much debated part of God's story. Even though virtually
every culture on Earth has some version of this in
its records. It's remarkable elsewhere it says this. In chapter eight,

(01:05:20):
God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the
livestock that were with him in the ark. And God
made a wind blow over the earth, and the water
subsided the fountains of the deep. I'm underscoring certain things.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of the

(01:05:41):
heavens were closed. The rain from the heavens was restrained,
and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the
end of one hundred and fifty days, the waters had abated,
and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of
the month, the arc came to rest on the mountains

(01:06:04):
of Ararat. Now we're gonna pause there. That is the
story in a nutshell of Noah's Arc. It is a
story that has fascinated people for years. NASA astronauts have

(01:06:29):
gone to the mountains of Ararat in search of Noah's Ark,
but there has been a development in that search and
it brings about a lot of fascinating questions about one's faith.

(01:06:54):
Do you want them to find it? Jesus talked about
having faith and that it's better to not see and
believe than to have to have evidence. But there is
a place for evidence, isn't there, especially in the culture

(01:07:18):
that we find ourselves in. So when we come back,
is it evidence? I will say this. It is news
and it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Now, this

(01:07:54):
story comes from the Daily Express US headline Archaeologists find
Noah's Ark with groundbreaking radar discovery. Team of researchers in

(01:08:18):
the US have been using ground penetrating radar to scan
the Duropinar formation in Turkey and they think they found
evidence of Noah's Ark. Now, let's dig into this for
just a second. They're using the technology and they think
they found the remnants using ground penetrating radar and it

(01:08:41):
has revealed a chemical imprint along with pieces of wood
in the ground and the shape of a hall. Now,
if you look at the picture of the area from above,
its size, its shape, its sheer, scope and volume is

(01:09:05):
the measurements of the arc. Now some say, now it's
just a natural geological formation. Here's the problem. This ground
penetrating radar shows linear passageways, and it shows three levels.

(01:09:37):
The Bible we just read said God commanded Noah to
build three levels lower, middle, and upper. The ground penetrating
radar detected what appeared to be one thirteen foot passageway
cutting through the formation center claims to have identified as

(01:10:02):
central and side passages or corridors. The scans additionally detected
three distinct layers underground, which corresponds to Genesis six sixteen.
And this formation is eighteen miles south of Mount Ararat itself,

(01:10:29):
otherwise known as the Mountains of Aerra Rat. It's known
as Mount Ararat to this day, and it's what it
was called in the biblical times. The mountain hasn't moved,
and it did not say Mount Ararat, it said the

(01:10:50):
Mountains of Ararat. I'm looking at the thermal imaging and
I'm just showing it to Jose that show three distinct
areas that are outlined at this point, and that then
betrays the idea of a natural geological formation. Even if

(01:11:11):
you suggest that somehow this shape is natural, it's tough
because it has a bow. Its shape is that of
a boat. You can't explain away the corridors in the hallways.

(01:11:35):
According to reports, intense rainfall and seismic activity in May
of nineteen forty eight eroded the covering mud, exposing this formation,
which was discovered by a Kurdish shepherd. Did you say
May of nineteen forty eight? Do you know what else
happened in May of nineteen forty eight? For the first

(01:11:59):
time since seventy a d Israel was reformed as a
nation in May of nineteen forty eight. Well, now, I
mean that's the very at the very least, that's quite
a coincidence, isn't it that all this seismic activity and

(01:12:21):
all of this dirt debris mud reveals this shape as
Israel is reformed as a nation. I believe it was
May fifteenth, nineteen forty eight, and this happened in May
of nineteen forty eight. Now, obviously they need to go

(01:12:42):
in there at the bow of the ship. It's showing corridors,
it's showing hallways, it's showing thermal imaging of something in there.
And fifteen long, eighty six feet wide, fifty two feet tall.

(01:13:05):
My oh my, oh my. So let me just pose
the question, what would it mean to you if they
found would.

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
And if.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
They determined that it was ancient gopher? Would what would
that do for you and your faith? Would it change it?
Would it enhance it? Would it help you maybe be
more bold with others? Perhaps the discovery of something like

(01:13:43):
Noah's Ark has been hidden for all these years just
because God talked about the importance of faith of seeing
and versus believing and having the faith to believe without seeing.
Or maybe the veil is being torn off of Noah's
Ark so it could be found for days like these

(01:14:08):
eighteen minutes after the hour, it is The Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Yes, I'm going to make that segment

(01:14:31):
available on the blog page for you to just listen
to it by itself and share it with friends. I'll
post it on X and it will definitely be part
of the twelve Days of Preston, I can promise you that.
But yeah, interesting stuff perfect lead in to our segment

(01:14:52):
on Orphan Shape Good Day. Yesterday we had a special
gift of three thousand dollars come in and so we
are over four thousand dollars, I'm sure, which is awesome.
Our goal is fifty five thousand dollars. I know who,

(01:15:14):
but God can do that through you, your faithfulness, your
willingness to share it to support its Operation Thanksgiving, and
Operation Thanksgiving is assisting Orphan Shade building Home number six
in Malawi. We will have Jay Sherlow on the program
first of December. We plan on having him on the

(01:15:36):
show to talk about the program and what they do.
They provide home, a home, a family for eight young
girls that have lost their mother and dad. And in
most of these villages, those girls then become they become

(01:15:58):
the targets of people in the surrounding areas that would
exploit them, traffic them, take advantage they have to survive
on their own. There are children literally four or five
six years old surviving on their own, and so eight
girls at a time. And we supported and built Home

(01:16:20):
number three in twenty twenty two, and we were asked
if we would consider helping build home number six. And
so we need some big donors to step up. We
need every five dollars ten dollars donation. Anything that you
can do, whether it's one time or monthly or quarterly,
anything you can do will make a difference. And it's

(01:16:46):
just it's a reality that, and I keep hammering this
because my program is very popular with business owners and
entrepreneurs and managers and successful people. And I'm just asking
you to just step back and just consider your the
blessing that your business is enjoyed, and if there's a

(01:17:09):
way that you can help you get a tax deduction.
But we are going to need some of you that
are that have been blessed to consider helping do some
heavy lifting here. Our friend Marvin Goldstein is offering a
private concert to someone who gives the first five thousand
dollars donation towards this project. So if that's you, let

(01:17:31):
me know you've done it. I'll confirm it. I'll get
all the details. But it's a private, one hour concert
by one of the greatest pianists this country has ever
produced and internationally known and loved. And so if that's you,
we would love to have that. It just generates momentum,

(01:17:55):
and so whatever you can do to give, I will
say in closing what I I say every time I
bring one of these projects up. I never ask you
to put your finances where I don't sew my own.
My wife and I have been long supporters on a
monthly basis of orphan Shape and we continue to we

(01:18:17):
sponsor individual girls as well. And so I'm just I'm
asking you, I'm putting your money where my mouth is
and asking you to kick in and help if you can.
Twenty seven minutes past, just go to Orphanshade dot com
and the drop down build a house and list in
the comments house number six. What is it about Thursday? Shows?

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
Of late.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
Thursday shows lately have been money, gold, audio, adrenaline Thursday
on the program take a moment on this one moment.

(01:19:14):
I have not spent as much time on this headline.
Over six hundred illegal immigrants awarded one hundred and twelve
million dollars after New York jury finds county libel for
unlawful iced attentions. This is according to the attorneys for
the plaintiffs. The jury confirmed what we've argued on along

(01:19:36):
Suffolk County's actions trampled the basic due process rights guaranteed
under the fourteenth Amendment. But do those rights apply to
people here illegally? The question is this. They've been ordered
to pay out one hundred and eighty six thousand dollars

(01:19:56):
per quote victim. These are sick hundred plus illegal immigrants
illegal immigrants, and the ruling determined that both the county
and the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office violated the constitutional rights

(01:20:18):
of these individuals. In twenty seventeen, they were kept in
county jails even after posting bailor resolving their criminal cases. Now,
if they stole their bail money and stuff like that, Okay,
let's talk about that. But I'm trying to understand they
were being held, as I understand it, for ice because

(01:20:41):
they were here illegally. How would the world are tax
dollars gonna go to people that were that broke into
this country illegally? This to me would be like somebody

(01:21:02):
breaking in to a business after hours that had wet floors,
and the custodians didn't leave a sign that said wet floors,
and so they slipped and fell while breaking into the
store and robbing it, stealing stuff, and they injured themselves,
and they sued because they didn't have a sign up
that said, well but you broke in, am I far?

(01:21:28):
Am I far fetched? And making that comparison, how are
they entitled to certain provisions and protections when they're in
this country and not legally citizens. We're not talking about
inhumane treatment. We're talking about you're not here legally. We're
gonna hang on to you for a while so I

(01:21:49):
can get you now again, if there's an issue that, well,
we kept their money. However they came about that money,
that's another story altogether. Now that's another story, but it
certainly doesn't seem to rise to the level of one
hundred and twelve million dollar verdict. That's just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
That's stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
That's why it's a big story, because it's stupid. Speaking
of illegal immigrants. US Department of Transportation has revoked better
than seventeen thousand CDLs issued by the State of California
to people that are foreign drivers. Whether they were here
legally or not is irrelevant. They're foreign drivers. They can't

(01:22:41):
speak English, they can't read the signs. But the state
of California has admitted they gave them licenses anyway and
it was illegal to do so. And surveying says that
a majority of Florida voters think they should decide, meaning
the voters should decide constitutional amendments. Yeah, I guess, but

(01:23:07):
and should decide whether or not we should be legalized.
I just can only hope and pray that enough of
you come to your senses to stop this again. And oh,
by the way, the process of gathering signatures is not
being is not following the law. They're doing it illegally.
They're submitting signatures that have not been verified. I've witnessed

(01:23:29):
it three separate locations, three separate times, forty minutes past
the hour. Yes, I'll testify. I will tell you where
it all happened.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Thanks for joining us. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
MSNBC. We covered this story when the news broke that discredited,
terrible news gathering entity underneath the umbrella of NBC News
is being spun off. I think NBC News is embarrassed
by it, and they're they're tired of being embarrassed by MSNBC,

(01:24:22):
so they're spinning it off. And for whatever reason, they're
keeping the MS. It's called ms now and it is
an acronym that means my source for news, opinion and

(01:24:45):
the world. Okay, but here's the thing, and I had
a little fun with this in my commentary. And another thing,
here's the thing. They are doing this big branding campaign.
They've got Rachel Maddow seriously reading part of the US

(01:25:07):
Constitution and they're trying to harken back to the civil
rights era, Doctor Martin Luther King. Keep in mind that
the largest demographic that MSNBC plays to is Black Americans.

(01:25:29):
They have the largest number of Black Americans that watch
that news, and it explains why there are still too
many Black Americans beholden to the Democrat Party because they're
lied to. They are allied to repeatedly, over and over,
and it's demonstrable the the the way that MSNBC has

(01:25:50):
reported and covered news is why it is always in
the tank in the overall ratings and why this rebrand.
But here's what I want to point out, with the
exception of two people that work on the very same show,
the hosts of all of the programming at MSNBC Monday

(01:26:12):
through Friday are all white. They have a former Republican
who's actually a liberal Democrat, Michael Steele, and some other
person that co hosts the show. And they're the only
minorities that co host a program in the Monday through

(01:26:33):
Friday programming of MSNBC. The rest are all white. I mean,
if I read the list, you know Lawrence O'Donnell, Mika Brzynski, Jensaki,

(01:26:53):
Joe Scarborough, Chris Hay, Stephanie Ruhle, Ari Melbergh, Nicole Wallace.
The list goes on and on. They're white, so you
know what they had to do with their rebranding. They
had to hire black actors to play parts in their promos.

(01:27:15):
MSNBC is not capable of showing their staff being a nice,
hearty mix of black, White, Asian, Hispanic.

Speaker 5 (01:27:26):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
No, they had to hire black actors for their promos.
This is a news agency. This isn't supposed to be
some biopic where you're hiring actors to play parts to
tell a story. This is supposed to be a representation

(01:27:48):
of the news gathering entity of ms Now. I guess
my takeaway is this, wouldn't they resort to fiction to
try to communicate their new branding, because that's exactly the
legacy of their news fiction. Forty six minutes after the

(01:28:08):
album Mike drop all right, let me help you out

(01:28:28):
if you are if you're able to help us with
the Orphan Shade Operation Thanksgiving, go to Orphanshade dot com
and you'll find a donate button. You can see all
the information, you can learn everything, and I can tell
you that this group. I know these people and it's

(01:28:52):
thoroughly vetted and I we've worked with them before. We
raised over forty thousand dollars for Home number three. Home
number six is now in the docket and we're trying
to raise fifty five thousand dollars. I know it's ambitious.
We're going to give it a go. Let's just see

(01:29:12):
what happens. You go to the page learn all you
want to learn, and go to that donate button and
then you'll be You'll see a series of boxes you
can check and then there's a drop down where you
designate the giving and you designate build a house. And
then in the comments put number six, WFLA, my name,

(01:29:35):
the Morning Show. Whatever you want to put to designate
that it's going to this project. You can put operation
Thanksgiving and the money will go there. We had a
very generous gift from yesterday of three thousand dollars an
individual gift. We are probably well over four thousand now
in total giving for the week, and that's awesome. Shooting

(01:30:00):
for fifty five hundred. And remember the first five thousand
dollars gift. If you want it, you'll get a private
one hour concert. Marvin Goldstein. All you have to do
is make sure you got a piano that's tuned or
a keyboard that's eighty eight keys, and he'll take care
of the rest. Concert at a Christmas party, a special function,

(01:30:25):
something later in the year, whatever you like. All right,
So if you send that gift, let me know, because
the first one that sends in that and we verify it,
you get the concert. Okay. Tomorrow on the program, Drake
Anderson will join us.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Who is he?

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
Well, what if I told you that if you're an
FSU football fan, you saw Drake at every home game
for years because he was Osciola writing Renegade, And we're
going to share what that's like, how does somebody become
Osciola and what he's up to now. It's a you're
gonna love Drake. I've known him for a few years

(01:31:03):
now and he's actually been on the show before, and
we'll talk about that as well, but for a totally
different reason. So this will be cool tomorrow on the program.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air, It's the
morning show on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
We started with Philippians four, verse one and verse four
Versus one and verse four, that's where we started the
radio program, and of course we had a great segment
on what may be a pretty significant discovery as it
relates to the Bible. It would create some shock waves

(01:31:44):
that are really pretty tough to avoid no matter where
you are in culture. If they're able to establish that
they've found Noah's ark, Buddy, big stories in the press box.
Vast majority of Florida voters say they should decide marijuana legalization,

(01:32:06):
not politicians. Over six hundred illegal immigrants awarded one hundred
and twelve million dollars by a New York jury. Department
of Transportation has revoked seventeen thousand plus unlawfully issued commercial
driver's licenses from illegal immigrants in California. I'm not sure
that they're all illegal immigrants, but there are at least

(01:32:29):
illegal immigrants in that mix.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
As well.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Shared the story of a fifteen year old who was
upsetted something and decided she needed to take a shovel
and beat a police card with police officers inside. Not
the thing to do on camera, not even off camera,
but it speaks to the difficulty that a couple generations

(01:32:53):
three now generations of young people have in coping just
in general, coping, coping skills, struggling, and space food made
from astronaut p is going to be tested on the
International Space Station. And no it wasn't satire. That was
a hilarious segment of the program worth listening to on

(01:33:14):
the podcast. Back tomorrow, Have an awesome day.
