Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Let's see what this sounds like today. Never quite sure.
Come in here, record a few promos, but you don't
know until it's game time what you got in the tank. Anyway,
Welcome friends. It's Tuesday, December, second show, fifty five four
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's the little

(00:30):
elf Jose in there wearing the Santa Claus hat. Doesn't
match anything he's wearing, but you know, hey, you put
a Santa Claus hat on and it's festive, that's for sure.
But we welcome you to the broadcast. Got some very
exciting news to share. We made progress with Orphan Shade

(00:50):
yesterday about three grand of the plus, so we are
we're now less than ten thousand dollars away from our goal.
And so a couple more days like we're gonna be
right there, friends. But let's begin with some scripture we've
been talking about been yesterday when he started wanted to

(01:14):
talk about Christmas carols, the songs that you sing. Because
I'm being very intentional here. Many of you attend to
church that will open up a hymnal, and this time
of year, they're gonna pop open, if not a hymnal
they'll put it up on a screen. They'll put up
the classic Christmas carols. They're not gonna do Christmas songs.

(01:39):
The Christmas songs are the more secular songs that we
all know, and there's nothing wrong with them. There's nothing
wrong with them at all. The Christmas carols though, that
we're used to. The Christmas hymns, they all revolve around Jesus,
and one of the songs is Angels. We have heard

(01:59):
on high, Angels, we have heard on high, sweetly singing
o'er the plains and the mountains in reply, echoing their
joyous strains, Gloria in excelciazdeo. Now, when you look at that,

(02:20):
there's some questions that come up, For example, what inspires
you that was an event that brought incredible emotion and
inspiration to a group of shepherds. Keep in mind, God
announced the coming of his son to a group that

(02:43):
was considered the lowest of the low on the socioeconomic ladder.
Is there anything surprising about that? If you'll forgive the
crude compare, I think it's an apt one. Orphan shade

(03:06):
ministers to what would be considered the lowest of the
low within Malawi abandoned through being an orphan, both parents dying,
little girls who would be fending for themselves, who would
be abused, would be trafficked, would be left to die.

(03:36):
In a way, we're getting the opportunity to play the
role of making an announcement that God is here by
virtue of helping pay for a home that they will
be living in for years and will have a new

(03:57):
family and parents that are not going in anywhere. It's
a total game changer for them. But go back to
those shepherds, it said in Luke two, verse thirteen, fourteen
and fifteen. And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying glory

(04:21):
to God in the highest and on earth, peace among
those with whom He is pleased. Notice who gets the peace,
those who have God's favor, with whom He's pleased. And
it goes on to say when the angels went away
from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,

(04:44):
let's go. You think the angels of heaven appear sing
make an announcement, And they were like, I think we
ought to do kind of what they said, what do
you think, fellas and they were the first to see Jesus,

(05:05):
the Son of God, lying in a manger obedience. Be
obedient to God, and find awe and glory in God
revealing himself to you in ways big and small. Ten
minutes past the hour in the commercial breaks gargling my

(05:37):
throat code. Yeah, literally gargling. It just feels so good,
nice and warm on the back of the throat, a
little honey in there, and then the ridiculous ingredients that
make it work. So I'm willing to endure because it works.
And then I've got my my nose inhaler, not an

(05:58):
inhaler like those of you with asthma, and you get
it inhaler and you take a puff and all that. No,
this is one of those sticks that has a little
bead of menthol inside. I don't know if you can
hear it shaking near and shaking these Whoever invented this

(06:23):
has my unrelenting gratitude because you just unscrew the little thing,
stick it up your nostril and take a deep breath
of just and you've got menthol right up in your
sinus cavity and it just yeah, it it helps. I

(06:45):
try to avoid no sprays, although they can work, but
I'm I have to fight doing them more than twelve
every twelve hours. I know they make a four hour spray,
and I think that's for people like me that just
feel like every need to every few hours. I just
this is better for me. And so anyway, like you care,

(07:09):
we are at forty six thousand dollars plus, we are
less than nine thousand dollars away from hitting our goal.
And so to all of you, I mean, I said
to my wife yesterday, I said, you know, Monday and
Tuesday seems to be a little slower and then things
pick up through the week. You all just blew that
out of the water yesterday, And so thank you, and

(07:33):
I hope the opening segment of the show encourages you,
because I really do believe we are doing God's will
and God's work, and He's given us the provisions to
do it. That's the thing. Many of you are giving

(07:54):
sacrificially ten dollars and twenty dollars, and God is going
to honor that because God knows your finances. He knows,
he knows if things are tight, and he knows if
that five dollars that you're able to give is really
difficult for you, and He is blessed by that, and
He will bless you in ways I can't. I can't

(08:17):
tell you how they'll they'll manifest. They just will. And
it might be the blessing of knowing that you're doing
what God wants you to do, and that in and
of itself places something in your heart and in your
spirit that money can't buy. It just can't. So thank

(08:38):
you Orphanshade dot com. Click the donate button and in
the drop down menu build a house and in the
comments house number six. Let's get it to the finish line.
Let's do this. It just you you, you people. I'm
you people, boy, I tell you you people. Let's see here.

(09:01):
It's December the second, seventeen sixty three. The Jewish community
of Newport, Rhode Island dedicates the Toro Synagogue, the oldest
synagogue in America. Okay, eighteen twenty three. President James Monroe
he'll be part of the program later outlines his doctrine
opposing European interference in the Western Hemisphere, known as the

(09:24):
Monroe Doctrine. Eighteen fifty nine, John Brown is hanged for
his raid on a federal armory in Harper's Ferry nineteen
forty two, University of Chicago en Rico for me and others,
give the first demonstration of a controlled nuclear chain reaction.
Oh my gosh, I can't prove it, but I think

(09:48):
he was the Hulk in Rico for me because it
wasn't so controlled, you know what I'm saying. I know
it was Bruce Banner. Nineteen eighty. Congress creates the six
million acre Denali National Park and Preserve. Nineteen eighty two,

(10:08):
doctors at the University of Utah Medical Center implant the
first permanent artificial heart in a human. The patient, Barney Clark,
lives for one hundred and twelve days on an artificial
heart that hasn't really gone anywhere. They've been able to do,
you know, heart stimulators and regulators and things like that,

(10:30):
but the artificial heart is I don't think it's it's
a thing, and that's probably good that it's not. Okay,
hold on, It's National Mutt Day, World Trick Shot Day
courtesy the Harlem Globe Trotters, National Fritter's Day, and National

(10:52):
Day of Giving Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Hopefully you have some
left after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, seventeen past the hour.

(11:32):
If you hear more dramatic pauses than normal, it's not
for effect, although it could be. It's to avoid coughing
in your ear. Okay, I'm just I'm trying to be polite.
I may not be successful, but I'm gonna try to

(11:53):
hit the dump button and get out in time best
I can. All Right, a couple other reminders here because
we can multitask well, we're helping Orphan Shade. There may
be some of you that are inclined to help Toys
for Tots as well. The Toys for Tots ride is

(12:16):
this Saturday. It's already here is the staging at the
Walmart super Center on Appalachi Parkway. Okay, that is just
a little east. Then they're going to drive over to
the Capital City Harley Davidson with the Hall. They'll have

(12:41):
a trailer full of new unwrapped toys, and if you
bring a new unwrapped toy, there will be food waiting
for you as a thank you for the donation of
the toy. So you can, you know, gravitory from inside

(13:02):
the store pick something for a little boy, a little girl,
whatever you think. The ride leaves at eleven am. And
you'll also have a chance if you've got a little
to meet Sam. This is as big a win win
as there possibly can be. I love the opportunity to

(13:26):
bring your children with you wander into a store, just
saying you could go right into the walmart right there,
but wherever, like you could go this week and go shopping,
bring your child with you, wait till school's over, and
have them pick out something that they think another child

(13:48):
would love. See, these are the little opportunities that we
have to teach our kids to consider others. First, we
were all kids. We're walking through the toy aisle and
all we're thinking about is our list. It is quite

(14:12):
a transition, and it's a lovely transition to say, Okay,
now we're walking over the toys, I want you to
think about what another little boy would really enjoy as
a gift or a little girl. If your daughter's picking
out you know what I mean by that, right? You

(14:35):
know I'm just saying, well, we never mind. So that's
this Saturday, the Toys for Tot's Ride. Also coming up,
not this Friday, but one week from Friday, is the
Living Christmas Story at Claren Methodist Church. It is a
big annual thing. If you're listening outside the area and

(14:59):
you've never participated, yeah, it's short. You just you jump
in your car and you go through it, and it's cool.
It's just it's just it's a thing. And so my
suggestion would be, whether you go next Friday, not this
next Friday, Saturday or Sunday, is that you make it

(15:22):
a night where you go and then you go check
out Christmas lights around town. You go to Dorothy Bovin Park,
you go to wherever the big Christmas displays are. You know,
there used to be a little subdivision just north in
a little west of of Iten that was just epically cool,

(15:45):
in fact, so cool. They used to have guys would
bring their horses with their carriages and they would give
horse drawn carriage rides through the neighborhood to see the lights.
That was then. They don't do it now. A lot
of the people that used to put up Christmas lights
have moved or what have you, and so it's kind
of a bummer. But the Klaren Methodist Church Christmas Story,

(16:10):
the Living Christmas Story, it's the thirty eighth year. Yes,
you can call it annual. After you've done it. That
many times. Actually, after you've done it twice, the third time,
you can do annual. So there you go, twenty seven
minutes past. Back with the Big.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Stories Bounded World. Consider him your truth detector. The Morning
Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point
seven doub ufla.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
The Big Stories in the press Box here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Press spelled with one ass
instead of two because it's named after me. The GOP
better get to some messaging because fifty one percent of

(17:04):
younger voters are leaning towards socialism, and I'm not mad
at them. They don't know any better. They have not
been taught. And if you look at things right now,
the affordability issue is a problem and the GOP had

(17:35):
better get on it because those of us who know better,
and I mean no, deep down to our bones, we're
going to be tapping out each and every year. There's
going to be fewer and fewer people that know the

(18:02):
importance of capitalism, a constitutional republic, what the founders created
and crafted and why all I can tell you is
you Republicans, the Florida Republican Party, local, national, you all

(18:25):
better get with it. I've been saying this for two decades.
It's not going to be my fault. I have been
begging you to get into the world messaging. Stop worrying
about winning elections because you're losing hearts and minds. There's

(18:47):
just the And that wasn't a planned big story in
the press box, planned big story in the press box.
The National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, an economic advisor
to Trump. Contrary to what The Atlantic published, which was
Donald Trump's war on Christmas, spending was up, but there's

(19:14):
a caveat and they're massaging the numbers to say that
spending was up in dollars In fact, nine point one
percent up, But how much of that was up in
volume versus up because we experienced massive inflation under Joe Biden,

(19:44):
and prices generally don't come down, they moderate, and inflation
is infinitely better. It's a two and a half percent
that is a relatively normal inflationary figure. Wage growth is

(20:04):
growing faster than inflation, not by a ton, but it's
growing faster than so there is some gaining, but spending
more because things cost more. So I'm not sure how
much of a feather in the cap that is what

(20:26):
is a feather in the cap is that one of
the most important economic marks for our nation, for any nation,
is orders of goods that have nothing to do with
defense or aircraft, because aircraft are so expensive. Businesses spending

(20:53):
on equipment rose by nearly a full percent when analysts
said it was going to go uper point two percent.
That is four to almost five times what was projected.
That is good. That is a very good number. And

(21:14):
then President Trump said that the US may be cutting
income tax completely in the next couple of years due
to tariff income. I think his notion of eliminating tax
for people making less than two hundred thousand dollars is wrong.
Everybody should pay something. Everybody needs some skin in the game.

(21:40):
If you dump this just on the quote wealthy, that's wrong.
So forty one minutes past the hour, those are the
big stories in the press box. A bike with one of.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Those bells and a radio just like the seventies. Yeah,
I traveled with a radio taped to my bike. This
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Just take a peek at the special congressional election today
in Tennessee. You've got an avowed socialist young girl who's
not very bright, who actually has a chance. She has
a chance, if you will. The topic of socialism right

(22:49):
now is very similar to the social contagion of transgenderism
a few years ago. It's trendy to talk about, it's
trendy for young people to talk about, to say, but
they know nothing about it. They don't know the horrors,
they don't know the evils, they don't know what's happened
to Venezuela. You realize that less than a quarter of

(23:10):
a century ago, Venezuela is one of the best economies
in the world, and now they are in destitute poverty.
Why socialism? All right? Quick, quick, little note here. We

(23:33):
had hoped to raise about one thousand dollars yesterday for
Orphan Shade. The goal was to get about one thousand
a day, and if we could surpass that, that would
be awesome. And we did yesterday about three thousand dollars.
A little more so we are at forty six thousand
dollars towards the fifty five thousand dollars goal. And to

(23:57):
remind you, Orphan Shade provides a home, a family. This
is not an orphanage. An orphanage is a place where
children are brought in and then somebody adopts them. We
hope this is a home for orphans. They will forge

(24:21):
a new family with new parents because their parents. These
eight little girls have lost both of their parents and
so Orphan Shade brings them together and forms a family
out of a village where these children have no one

(24:42):
to care for them. Any remaining relatives don't have the ability,
or don't have the interest, don't care to care for them.
This is plucking eight lives out at a time. There
are three homes that have been built. We built number three.
Home number four is about to be built this month.

(25:03):
They'll begin home number five. They hope to build this year.
As they hope to build number six. We are funding
number six. Because homes number four and five have been
paid for, they've raised the funds for that. We are
helping them with home number six. The cost for a
home that will be with a proper foundation, that will

(25:27):
not wash away, that will not be blown away, that
will survive the brutal environment of Malawi is fifty five
thousand dollars for the land, for the building, and for
the furnishings. It is not opulent. There's no running water
inside they will use a well from the village. Any

(25:47):
power comes from solar and it will be to use
to light up a room at night so the kids
can perhaps work on their studies. They're educated, they're fed,
they're cared for, and they or a family volunteer, husband
and wife. Think about that for a second, volunteering and

(26:09):
that yes, they're compensated because it was it was determined
that they're putting their life on hold to care for
these girls for up to twenty years. So yeah, they're
gonna they're they're going to receive and it's modest compensation, friends,
but it it matters. So whatever you can do Orphanshade

(26:34):
dot com, click the donate button and in the drop
down menu build a house and in the comments house
number six forty seven minutes past the All right, we're

(27:04):
here to help you, know that, right? Walmart, Attention Walmart shoppers.
Now that's what they used to say at kmart. Attention
Kmart shoppers. There's a blue light special in linens right
now for the next ten minutes, there's a blue light special.

(27:24):
Look for the spinning blue light in linens. Thank you.
That's that's how it worked shopping. They would entice people
to be at Kmart all the time hoping for a
blue light special where they where they wanted something and
they'd move it around throughout the day they Did you

(27:45):
ever experience a blue light special? No, so you're too young,
I think. Did you go to Kmart? Yeah, but I
don't remember that at all. Okay, yeah, Kmart was a
thing before Walmart was a thing and Kmart was a
thing now. I mean the blue light special. Think about it.

(28:07):
You walk into the store and they'd put this light
is on a pole where you could see it anyway
basically anywhere in the store and be flashing, and then
they'd make the announcement and you'd run to that aisle
and take advantage of whatever the blue light special was.
Its brilliant Walmart sadly is. Look, we love Walmart, but

(28:28):
do you remember the days when there was almost an
everything was made in America thing at Walmart? It ain't
that way anymore. In fact, I would be shocked if
even twenty five percent of what's in Walmart is made
in America. I wonder what the percentage is. Look that
up real quick. What percentage of products carried by Walmart

(28:52):
in their stores, not online, in their stores. Is made
in America. I would love to know the answer to that,
all right. Walmart is issued a recall on the Ozark
Trail tabletop one burner buttane camping stove. Why because there
have been twenty six reports of Ozark trail stoves exploding

(29:17):
or catching fire. Do you catch that exploding? Uh? Butane
burners exploding not good and so there is a recall
over for two hundred thousand of these things sold across
the country and online. Sold at Walmart. They have a

(29:42):
model number BG two two four seven A one b
G two two four to seven A one. The model
is printed on a gray label on the inside of
the fuel compartment where you screw in the little the
fuel canister. It's on the inside of that. That's where

(30:02):
you'll be looking for that number. Bring it back immediately.
It is a recall. Stop using it immediately. We're talking
a massive risk of it blowing up or catching fire.
There's a second recall underway the the Outdoor Master Children's
and Youth helmet. It does not meet the safety standards required.

(30:26):
It was sold on Amazon dot com and Walmart dot com,
not necessarily in the stores, but the Outdoor Mastered Children's
and youth helmets. They violate the mandatory safety standards for
bicycle helmets. So a couple of recalls there, and again,
like you know we talked about yesterday with tattoos, We're
here to help keep you alive. I mean, that's really

(30:49):
the mission because we love you and we care. So
we warn you about the dangers of tattoos, and the
dangers of ozark trail tabletop one burner buttane camping stoves,
and the dangers of outdoor mastered children's and youth helmets

(31:11):
because we care. That's what we do. We care. All right,
we come back what's going on with Venezuela, but try
to break it down and explain it to you next Christmas.
Tree sounded just like him, didn't I how you doing?

(31:42):
Welcome to the second hour Tuesday here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. He's OSEI I'm Preston. It is December,
the second show, fifty five oh four. I have been
I don't know about you, okay, but I try to
put myself in our shoes, right, I have been confused
over Suddenly we're talking about the potential of sending troops

(32:09):
to Venezuela and I'm like, whoa, let's tap the brakes here,
what's going on? So I did some digging yesterday to
try to better understand this for myself. And here's where this.

(32:30):
First of all, let's set the stage by quantifying what's
happened in Venezuela. Venezuela has been ruined by two socialist,
communist Marxist leaders and you could take your pick. Well,

(32:50):
you know, person, it's actually whatever. They're bad guys, all right.
They fled democracy and they installed a dictator's ship, and
it was first Hugo Chavez, followed by his protege Nicholas Maduro.
So to put this in some context of what's happened

(33:13):
in Venezuela, you need to go back. Venezuela in two
thousand and one was recognized by the World Economic Forum
as the richest country in South America and one of
the most stable economies in the world. This was at

(33:39):
the very beginning of Hugo Chavez taking over. See, it
takes a while, and it didn't take that much time
for Venezuela to be turned into a trash heap. And
that's what happened when in an economy suffers to the

(34:02):
degree that economies suffer under socialism, they are ripe for
the picking. Drug dealers come in and they offer people
an exorbitant wage to be part of the cartel. Crude comparison,

(34:26):
you can make four dollars an hour doing whatever you're
doing in this collapsed economy, or you can work for
the cartels and make one hundred dollars an hour. What
are you going to do? Now? It's very easy to say, well,
we would never resort to that until everybody in your

(34:47):
cul de sac is doing it and you're the only
one not, which immediately makes you a target because they think, well,
if you're not part of it, you potentially are a
threat to us. Now, it doesn't mean that the entire
country turned to the cartels, but the cartels ran the

(35:08):
country and have run the country. And so the breaking
point and what has led to this immediate and quick
escalation of well hostilities came in July when the Treasury
Department sanctioned Venezuela as Cartel de las Soules or de

(35:29):
los Soles, the Cartel of the Suns, designated as a
global terrorist organization. Treasury Department then further accused Maduro and
other members of administration and the Venezuelan military of directory
directly assisting cartels in trafficing narcotics to the United States

(35:50):
and by military we're talking, see this is what why?
And when you start to listen to the negotiations, one
of the things Maduro said is, Okay, if you want
me out of the country, I have to have global amnesty.
No matter where I'm at, I cannot be held responsible
for any crimes that were committed while I was in charge.

(36:13):
Well that's a no deal, but that's an immediate admission
of I mean, he's tortured people, He's tortured members of
his own military. Why because the military was using its
jets to transport drugs in the hemisphere. And so Maduro's

(36:41):
out there right now saying there are no excuses for anyone,
whether civilian, political, military, police. The country demands the greatest
effort and sacrifice, and if the Homeland calls, the homeland
will have our lives if necessary. Really, well, I'm gonna
put that in some context, and then we're going to
get to where we are right now and what may
happen next here on the Morning show.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Joy subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry We're
here to make it all better. There you go, Yes,
it's okay, Yes, this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
I want to go back to the statement that Maduro
makes to his people. There are no excuses for anyone,
whether civilian, political, military, or police, demands when their country
demands the greatest effort and sacrifice. If the homeland calls,

(37:49):
the homeland will have our lives if necessary. Well, you
just had the opportunity to sacrifice. In fact, he was
promised for he his wife and his son. He turned
it down. Oh well, now it would be fair to say,

(38:13):
why is the US involved? Because Venezuela is bringing instability
to the region. Isn't it interesting the three countries that
are standing with Venezuela and saying the US needs to
stay out of it, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. You may

(38:42):
recall there was a possibility of US being engaged in
a fundraiser that would have sent funds to Colombia. We
backed away from it because we were told that that
any gifts given would be held an escrow for six
months while the finances were checked by the government to

(39:05):
make sure they weren't laundered drug money. Now I applaud them,
but it's like, I'm not getting us involved in that stuff.
But it speaks to the level of drug connectedness in
the Colombian economy, so they don't want to mess with it.

(39:32):
Other nations, however, have been very supportive of potential intervention
by the United States. Antonio Saravilla, Professor of economics, director
of the Center for the Study of Economics and Liberty
at Mercer University. If those tensions lead to an attack, invasion,

(39:53):
or military intervention, we can only expect positive outcomes from
Venezuela and the region. See, we have been dealing with
drug traffickers in their speedboats. They're not fishing vessels. Stop it.
Now there's a big stink over one particular attack, and

(40:17):
the allegation is that Pete Hexath Defense secretary said kill
them all. And what they did is they hit the
boat and there were survivors clinging to the debris of
the boat, and they hit them again. Now that would
be a violation of war because you've disabled the ship.

(40:41):
That would be a violation of the conventions of war
that you then pick off survivors. Hexath is stating that
he gave no such second attack orders, and that whatever
happened was a result of the circumstances of the time.
You know, I I'm not going to defend it. I'm

(41:03):
not going to attack it. I'm going to say that's
where we are right now. The administration's defending their actions.
What I know is I have zero issue blowing up
the boats. These guys know at this point, every one
of those traffickers knows they are marked and targeted the
second they leave the coast of Venezuela and they are

(41:25):
in international waters. By the way, a Bolivian based political
analyst Diego Hernandez general sentiment in the region falls into
two camps, and it largely depends on a couple of factors,
how they view Trump and how US actions relate to
the Monroe Doctrine. Remember I said this was going to
come back Monroe Doctrine. The doctrine has been guiding principal

(41:50):
US policy in the Western Hemisphere since eighteen twenty three.
It was meant to limit foreign interference in the Americas,
including any further Colin and Zaia or puppet monarchs. It
expanded in nineteen oh four under President Theodore Roosevelt. It
was updated to justify the US acting as an international

(42:12):
police power to curb chronic wrongdoing, but that leaves the
door open to interpretation. As I said, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico,
other countries in the area El Salvador, namely there are
others are in favor. Argentina in favor because they believe

(42:35):
it brings stability to their region. Those who favor US
intervention probably overestimate the long term impact of US strikes
having curbing trafficking because it's actually targeting one of the
last links in the chain. You got to get to
the head of it, and that's where regime change comes in.

(42:57):
Regime change opens the door to that. That's where we
are and that's why where we are now. It's all
about drugs and it's all about getting Maduro out of office.
You can take your pick on what side of that
you fall on. Seventeen almost eighteen past the hour.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox and Sonos and
Ihearts radio season.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Orphanshade dot com do what you can, give what you can.
We are we're just nine thousand dollars away from meeting
our goal. That's pretty sweet. So Orphanshade dot Com click
the donate button in the drop down menu build a
house and comment house number six. We would appreciate it,

(44:01):
all right. There are always those people I don't want
anything for Christmas, don't get me nothing. I get it.
I'm a casual. I'll tell my kids, don't spend your
money on us, don't spend your money on your mother

(44:22):
and me. Spend it on each other if you want
or save it. But if they say, do you have
any suggestions on something, I'll find some things and try
to help them out. But there's always that person that's
like so hard to buy for, and so I'm just

(44:44):
gonna kind of try to give you some ideas for
that guy. Multi Toool now, they come at a lot
of different price points. Multi toools are incredible, and for example,
Gerber makes some not the Baby Place Gerber gear and
they make like these seventeen and one sets and they're very,

(45:09):
very price affordable. But there's also leather Man, which is
kind of the the state of the art, the icon
in that in that space they make stuff that's just
next level fire starters, emergency whistles, you name it, and
so you know that's that's a possibility. You can always

(45:30):
go with the EarPods, you know, the different kinds of wireless,
and if they have Apple, they don't have to be
the ear pods or air pods. If it's Samsung, they
don't have to be Samsung. There's some really good quality
products out there. Just read the reviews. They'll tell you
what you need. On Cloud, I'm ware sorry about that.

(45:57):
That made me laugh. I'm more a pair right now.
On clouds are they are? They are that light. They're
incredible if you like the no lace kind of thing,
and on Cloud makes a lot of different styles. You
can find those a lot of places, Kevin's if you've

(46:19):
got a fisherman in the family. A carryall tackle backpack
backpacks are really good instead of a tackle box because
you just throw it on the back while you're carrying
everything else. You might have a little cooler, you might
have your rods, your rods with you, and so you

(46:40):
don't want to make forty trips. Backpack tackle boxes are
incredible and you can find them at all different kinds
of price points. They're they're literally all over if you
want to spend some money. There are some amazing watches.
Cassio makes a really good outdoor watch with a lot

(47:01):
of features for two three hundred bucks a little more
than that. There's there are solar smart watches out there
that do all kinds of things that will run you
three thirty three forty on sale if you've got the
uh the body sta in the family you want. There
are coffee makers, espresso machines, there's all that stuff. I

(47:24):
mean there there are things that you can get. Battery packs.
There are there are now multi functional battery packs that
will charge whatever phone you have and your watch. It'll
do it all right. There. There are front and back

(47:47):
four K cameras for your vehicle that you can hook
up and they connect to your phone. They're dash cams.
Dash cams are brilliant. Now I'm just scratch in the surface.
I'm just I'm throwing out one set of ideas that
they came across for. You know, guys that are tough
to shop for. But you know, books are always good,

(48:11):
DVDs solid if you have the player. I'm a big
fan of, you know, trying to drill into what someone
really enjoys as a hobby and then try to get
really on the outside fringes of that hobby. It is
something that they might not have thought of So there
go twenty eight after the air come back, Let's do

(48:31):
the big stories in the press box here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Big Stories in the press

(48:55):
Box this morning. President says that US may cut income
tax completely in the next couple of years. But the
fine print is for only some people making less than
two hundred thousand dollars, is what he's throwing out right now.
It's a bad proposal. He's claiming that the tariffs will

(49:16):
provide enough income. The tariffs are being passed on. Okay,
there are some aspects of the tariffs that are doing good.
We're getting monies that we had not gotten before. But
businesses don't pay taxes. People do. And a business can

(49:37):
only absorb so much, and many try, and they try
to absorb some, but they can't absorb all of it.
I had no problem with the tariff wars if they
were used to negotiate better, fairer tariffs across the board.
They've largely done that, but they've impacted us. When I

(50:01):
bought something from a organization located in the UK and
was asked to pay a tariff at the door, literally
the delivery at the door, that was more than two
times the value of the product I bought. I said no,
and I returned it back to the UK. It took

(50:24):
months to resolve. No, you can have it. I don't
need it that badly. It's fine. I had no idea
that the price wasn't put into the good or service,
but that was That was an example of how it
was working at the time. I don't know where it
is now. But cutting taxes to nothing for people making

(50:46):
less than two hundred thousand dollars while making people over
that pay for not just what's carried into the cost
of goods and services, but then pay income tax on
top of that. It's just wrongheaded, which is foolish. It's
a bad idea. Business investment surging, the key capital goods

(51:09):
indicator beats forecast by nearly five times, and that's huge.
That's good good spending over Thanksgiving holiday economic sector. But
some of that is offset. The amount increased of increased
spending is offset by the lack of volume. In other words,

(51:32):
we're spending more because things cost more, mostly because of Biden.
Four years of runaway inflation have raised prices to where
now you look at normal inflation levels at two and
a half percent, and you're like, well, you know, but
when inflation takes hold, businesses adjust and they have to

(51:57):
or they don't survive. And once those prices and wages
and things go up to cover these costs, you know,
I mean, it's just the prices usually don't come back
down because you're not going to cut employees pay. Well,
inflation's down, so you're gonna get a cut of pay
by ten percent. That's not going to happen. So it's

(52:21):
it's a mess. It's not Trump's fault. He's doing a
lot of things that are stimulating the economy, stimulating investment
in the nation. There are some mistakes I believe, personally
I think he's making, but that's always the case, you know,
I always look at things a little bit differently. There's

(52:42):
also this short story here. Oklahoma student was plunked by
a teacher assistant. She was asked to write an essay
and opinion on a piece on gender identity, and she
wrote based on her Christian beliefs, and she got flunked.
She got a zero, and so she's pushing back. Good fight.

(53:03):
Forty minutes past the hour, all right, The Thirteen Days
of Shopping continues, Day number two. I promise to give

(53:24):
you some websites that might might be worth your visit
to the patriot in the family, to the person who
loves America, or if you just want to tweak somebody,
although I don't advise that. Seventeen seventy six United dot
Com seventeen seventy six United dot Com for example, apparel, headwear, footwear,

(53:55):
drink wear, accessories. It's mostly patriotic theme, as you might
gather from the titles seventeen seventy six United. They have
a black T shirt that has the flag, the emblem
join or Die, with the snake that had been cut
in pieces, that was drawn up, and I think Franklin
put that together. I want to say Franklin put that together,

(54:17):
showing the colonies at the time and denoted by various
parts of the snake, and the need to pull it
all together that you either join or we all die.
But it has a massive selection. I've got a bunch
of their hats and we have given out their gear

(54:37):
from time to time to members of the family. They've
got they got towels, they've got I mean, just all
kinds of things under accessories. They got patches, they got
throw blankets, stickers and decals, puzzles and games, artwork, koozies, candles,
phone cases, mouse pads, tech gear, flags and pennants, automotive.

(55:00):
There's gift cards. They've got mugs, tankards, they've got glass
wear and tumblers. Under apparel. They've got men, women, youth,
and it's all patriotic by nature. You know, something that's
kind of fun to do is maybe pick out a
T shirt for everybody in the family. If you've got

(55:22):
a patriotic family, family that loves America, you can get
them all a T shirt that's different or the same whatever.
If you want that family photo, that Christmas family photo,
Join or Die, Hey or seventeen seventy six or Liberty
or death, I mean whatever, you know it carries to
Christmas theme. You can put everybody in the same shirt,

(55:44):
different colors or the same color or whatever you like.
The point is there is all kinds of gear here,
and I love the company seventeen seventy six United, and
you'll find some really useful stuff there. They've they've got
a new gear section, Massive Blankets, sixty four bucks. They've

(56:06):
got We the People, Christmas wreath, shirp of blanket, they've
got Washington nelt In prayer, the Guide blanket, They've got
the Ton Tavern shirt of blanket. Theyve got hoodies, they've
got baseball shirts. They've got you know, United or Die

(56:29):
Women's v NEX, abolish the ATF shirts. There you go. Huh,
says buy me tacos and tell me you don't trust
the mainstream media. Another one says, it's okay to hate commis.
I mean, it's just there's literally something for everybody. So

(56:54):
check it out. Forty six minutes past the hour, trying
to help you out shopping season. Here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Time for a manly minute. Do
it each Tuesday here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(57:15):
Segment that people look forward to. And I don't blame them,
because this is about raising men. We need men, We
need manly men. We need men that are gentle men.
A gentleman. That's part of being a man. They're not separate,

(57:35):
it's part of These are skills, these are virtues, these
are ideals, these are thoughts, considerations, things to teach your son,
and obviously you tailor them to the age of your son.
All Right, we've talked in previous weeks of late as

(57:57):
we get into this season where I equate giving a
Christmas time, and I understand there are people that take
it too far. But every act of giving that I
engage in is done with the heart of God. So

(58:17):
loved the world he gave his only son, and that
the act of giving is at the heart of God.
And obviously I think you're to use wisdom. You don't
give somebody something that is not going to be useful, helpful,
enjoyed in a positive way. And so you give with wisdom.

(58:41):
And so in recent weeks, we've talked about, for example,
allowing your son to earn some money to buy gifts
for others by doing chores over and above what they
normally would do. I'm not a big fan of rewarding

(59:03):
people for not robbing the bank. You've heard me say
that frequently. I you know, keeping your room clean, making
your bed, helping mom with the dishes, that's what you do.
You take out the garbage, you know, But there are
other things that perhaps you take care of in your
home that you're willing to allow your son to take over.

(59:27):
To earn five dollars a week and over a period
of two three, four weeks, maybe they earned ten, fifteen,
twenty dollars. And then listen, now this is this week's tip.
Teach your son how to come up with a gift

(59:48):
for the people that he wants to buy a gift for.
Maybe he's got a best friend, maybe it's mom or dad,
or brother or sister or all of those things. Well,
you've got to let's just use that as a number.
There's your budget. Teach him to use the budget. He

(01:00:10):
won't be able to buy very much for four people
on his list. Yeah, you're right, and that's okay because
it's about the gift of giving. It's not about what's
what it is, and so let me give you. Let
me help along here. Let's say you've got two siblings

(01:00:31):
and mom and dad, and he wants to buy you
something dad or you mom. Well, he can spend maybe
three dollars and buy a favorite candy bar for the
siblings and put it in the stocking and put a
little note on it that it's from little brother or whatever.

(01:00:55):
They'd love it. You're teaching your son to think of
other people. So what if it's candy bar? So what
if it's a dollar seventy five hot wheels. It doesn't matter,
it's something. And then they have a little more left
over to buy something for mom because they spent maybe

(01:01:18):
three dollars, So now they have seventeen dollars and they
can spend ten of that on their mom. There's some
things you can get. There's some very thoughtful little gifts
that you can find, and any parent knows it doesn't
matter what it is. So the second step step one,

(01:01:38):
doing some things extra to earn some money to give
to others, to gift to others. Step two, and that's
this week, the process of thinking through what would somebody enjoy.
These are skill sets that will carry them their life

(01:02:00):
if you teach them to consider others first. And this
is a great time of year to teach the principle
that God so loved the world he gave his only son,
and that we love the people that we love, and
we offer them at this time in honor of God's gift,
a little gift of our own from our labors. That's

(01:02:22):
how I always view it. So there you go. When
we come back, it's our number three US Congress. We're
in kat Camick is going to be joining us. We'll
have a conversation with our favorite member of Congress. Next
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right,

(01:02:56):
here we go, third hour, hanging out. Cat Camick joining
us in just a few I'm sure she'll call in
in just a few minutes. She's a mommy now, I mean,
busy things going on. Let me take advantage of this
for just a moment here. Okay, just got a call
from a lady who lives and listens in the Panama

(01:03:17):
City region and was upset about something she allegedly heard
on our network. All right, first of all, don't be rude. No,
I'm serious, and I expect that you're listening, ma'am. Don't
be rude. If you've listened for one minute of this

(01:03:39):
program more than once or twice. You know our personal standards.
You know what we stand for, you know what we're about.
So being rude to Jose is unbecoming and it's not
going to be tolerated. All right, and now I had
to hung up on you. He didn't because he's much

(01:04:02):
better person than I am. But the assertion is that
some very inappropriate discussions were taking place. I highly doubt that.
I'm not calling you a liar. I'm telling you, you're
probably mistaken. Now, there are a few possibilities here. Number one,

(01:04:24):
you weren't listening to what you think you're listening to.
You're inadvertently listening to something else, radio dials changed, whatever
the case might be. The second possibility is that the
signal was being jammed on by a signal from an
outlying area. That happens. That happens. So I'm just saying,

(01:04:47):
if you've got a concern, by all means, let me
know and we will address it. A lot of people
that have written into the program over the years can
attest to the fact that if I get a concern
from a listener about something inappropriate being on this show,
or on this network or on this station, we deal
with it. I don't just pedal you off. I never

(01:05:09):
do that because it matters to me, all right. So
I'm just saying, if you have a complaint, that's fine,
But if you're rude about it, now, I'm going to
draw a line on that. So whoever you are, and
I'm allowing this to serve as a little bit of
an advisement to everybody. If you have concerns, tell us,

(01:05:35):
but don't be a jerk about it, because I don't
bide by those. I just don't. I don't have time
for that. All right, So let's transition now to far
better topics and a great guest. She is our favorite
member of Congress, and that is US congressional representative from
Florida's third district. She is Kat Camick Cat.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
How are you eg and I heard that? Now you
got to fill me in. I am intrigued. Who's being rude?

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
We just had a listener thinking that there was inappropriate
comments being made before our show went on the air,
and the types of things that she was saying were
on the air. I can almost guarantee you weren't. And
so she's assigning blamed us for some other something else
that she was inadvertently hearing or But the bottom line

(01:06:25):
is even if it's if something was inadvertently played by
some other show, be polite.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
We'll deal with it absolutely. Wow, that's like being in Congress, right,
Yell that all the time for stuff that I didn't do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Kat, bring me up there, bring me up there. I
am made for this. How you doing what you are?
How are you doing?

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
We're doing great. It's it's a rainy day up here
on Capitol Hill. But we've got a three week sprint
to get a lot of stuff done, and then the
docket is full, whether it is appropriations, whether it is name,
image and likeness, nil, the big package that everyone's been

(01:07:08):
talking about in college sports. If you're watching college sports,
which of course is a good Southerner, of course you
are on Saturday. What else are you doing? You've seen
the advertisements for the Score Act. And then of course
we've got today and next week a lot and this
is in my committee of jurisdiction, a lot dealing with
online safety for kids. And so we've got a full

(01:07:32):
plate on our hands up here.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Preston, Kat stand by. I want to pick up with appropriations.
We're going to take a break right now. So we're
on time, and we got plenty of time. On the
other side, we got two segments left. US Congressman Kat
Camick with me here on the Morning Show with Preston
Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven double USLA

(01:08:00):
showing unbelievable discipline and keeping us on time, which is
a very rare thing around here. Good morning, that's Osai,
I'm Preston. This is congress Women Kat cam a cat.
We haven't had a legitimate budget in this country for
the government since the mid nineties, I think it is,
and there's not a business on the planet that could

(01:08:21):
operate that way, And I guess that explains why we
are where we are financially in our country as far
as the government.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
Yeah, I mean, I would say thirty years, I believe
is the actual number that we have gone without putting
forward a budget and then subsequently appropriating all twelve of
the appropriations. And just for everyone's refresher, we're going to
take everybody back to Civics class. You have a budget

(01:08:51):
that is passed out of the Budget Committee in the House,
and then you have twelve appropriations that cover everything. The
trick here is you have the authorizing Committee, So in
order for something to technically be appropriated, you have to
have it authorized by Congress. Well, we've got a mess
because we've never done all twelve appropriations and not well

(01:09:13):
thirty years and currently you have about nine hundred billion
dollars eight hundred and ninety two billion to be exact,
that has not been authorized by Congress. But for years
under these crs, they continue to get appropriated, and so
there's a huge push amongst us fiscal conservatives. We want
all of these programs to be audited, go line by line,

(01:09:36):
and we want to have a real budgeting, appropriation and
authorization process put forward. That's what we're fighting for, and
we've been fighting for. It's going to be a real
fight because government funding runs out on January thirtieth and
we're still in this doom loop of crs and omnibuses,

(01:09:57):
and it's got to end because our children, little baby,
every child, every kid under the age of eighteen today
has five hundred thousand dollars of national debt on their
shoulders as a result of this broken process. So that's
why it's so important.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
We know Democrats are going to oppose this because they
don't have and I'm going to be charitable as I
say this, Kat, Democrats don't understand economics. They just don't.
Every community, virtually, sorry, every community run by Democrats in
this country is in a fiscal tailspin. So who's blocking

(01:10:32):
this on the Republican side.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Well, the thing that you find out when you get
up here is that there really aren't Republicans and Democrats. Right.
You have the Party of Big Government and then you
have the Party of Little Government. Okay, some people call
it the uniparty. I'm I'm agnostic to that term, honestly,
because it really comes down to something much simpler for me,
which is, either you believe as an individual that you

(01:10:58):
can be responsible for yourself and your family and you
don't want government interfering in your life. You want low taxes,
less interference, or you think that the government should be
supplying all these programs and things right, little government versus
big government, and the parties they tend to ebb and
flow in between these titles, and so I think it's
the people who have been here the longest who And

(01:11:20):
a classic example was yesterday I was having a conversation
with a colleague and they said, Kat, you just don't understand.
This is how it's always been done. And I said,
and that is exactly why Congress has a fourteen percent
approval rating. People would rather go get a colonoscopy than
deal with Congress because y'all don't do anything. You don't
do your jobs, You run roughshot with people's money and

(01:11:42):
their livelihoods, and you treat it like monopoly money. And
I'm sick of it. And that's what we're fighting for.
In back today. I have to go testify. I don't
say I have I get to go testify because I'm
very excited about this in front of the Budget Committee.
On some ideas that we have about bringing down our
national debt, things like a structured debt repayment plan, and

(01:12:04):
why we should go to zero based budgeting because we
don't we do we do the opposite. We don't zero
based budget and why we need to authorize these programs
before we put money into them. It's just common sense
we should be auditing these programs and we're not, and
it's frustrating. And this is where the American people, knowing
the process and how it's done and how it's not done,

(01:12:25):
sometimes that's the difference maker because then we the people
can demand change and we can push our leaders in
Washington to actually help get a budget and the process
finished and across the finish line.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
US congress Women Kat cameick with me. Cat stand by,
folks listening on iHeartRadio all over the country, call your
congressional representative, tell them to support the idea of you know,
this zero based budgeting, the auditing, the appropriations process be amazing.

(01:12:57):
What would happen more to come on the Morning Show Okay,
you can just imagine how that conversation and the break went.
She is a big Florida Gator fan, and obviously Florida

(01:13:20):
played Florida State over the weekend, and of course I'm
a Florida State fan, and all of our our teams
are are are on the bench the rest of the
football season, and we both basket and misery. But they're
not quite as miserable as we are because they won.
And so Kat and I were having that discussion.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
But you know what, you were a great sport and
I like to think that I was an okay sport
about it. Let's be honest. The game was like a
race to see who was going to be second worst.
You know, it was a fun game and it was
it was great that we ended the Gators. We the
Gators the collective we and did on a high note.

(01:14:01):
But yeah, if we've lost to Florida State, that would
have really put a damper on things for us.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Now, now, now listen to this cat. This is a
professional radio segue. If you've ever heard when You're ready
speak speaking of the Swamp hr one three. You're going
to go to bat and try to get it done
in the swamp.

Speaker 4 (01:14:23):
Yes. Yes, so you tied me up perfectly on this question.
Today I will be testifying in the Budget Committee, will
simultaneously in another committee hearing. It's amazing how we schedule appear.
It's like, you know, we think we can spend time.
And I am going to be pushing for Congress to

(01:14:45):
reauthorize all of the programs and agencies before they receive money.
And I know that's a novel idea and it's probably
the least sexy topic that we could be talking about.
But here's why it's important. And you had mentioned this earlier.
Everyone listening, call your representatives and ask them to support
co sponsor HR one forty three, the USA Act, the

(01:15:06):
Unauthorized Spending Accountability Act. And again, the reason why this
is so important is because on auto pilot, all of
the crs, all the omnibuses, all the things that Congress
keeps doing, just exactly what it's doing. We will spend.
We the people will will out of our tax dollars
fund eight hundred and ninety two billion with a B

(01:15:27):
dollars of unauthorized programs and agencies, and it'll just come
out of our pockets like nothing happen, and here's the
scary part. You've got agencies like the EPA never authorized
by Congress. There's so many pet projects that have been
created that have never had an audit, Congress never approved them,

(01:15:50):
and they're still getting funding. And I don't know about you,
but whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you should care
about where your tax dollars are going and you would
hope that somebody somewhere is got some oversight on them.
And so HR one three, the USAC. This will fundamentally
change how Congress operates. And at the end of the day,
that's what I am in Washington to do, disrupt the

(01:16:12):
status quo and drain the swamp and put power back
in the hands of we the people. This does just
that because it holds people accountable to the programs that
they're funding. And so while it is not the sexiest work,
it is very important work. And this is what can
help us get on track to keep us a republic
for the next two hundred and fifty years.

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
Kat poor In, a foundation for a house isn't sexy.
It doesn't make the house look pretty, but it allows
the house to stand. And what you're talking about here
is critical infrastructure. Type stuff that I mean when you
said EPA, the EPA is an agency that has no
congressional authorization.

Speaker 4 (01:16:55):
Nope, it has never been officially authorized or approved by Congress.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Roughly how many such agencies departments do we have that
have never been authorized and we're spending money for.

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
One thousand, two hundred and sixty four good yeah, yeah,
one two hundred and sixty four programs and agencies have
no congressional authorization. In fact, forty nine percent of all
of the funding that government does expired over a decade ago,

(01:17:31):
and the oldest was nineteen eighty that it last got
any sort of look at.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
Doesn't that make these organizations illegal?

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
You would think. But if they're illegal, why are we
sending money to them? And that's where the courts are like, well,
you guys keep sending money to these what do you
want us to do? And the last thing that we
need is more activist judges, right, sweet goodness?

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Yeah, yeah, Because.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
Congress, we set our own rules and we're violating our
own rules, and so we have to do the work
of holding Congress accountable. And nobody up here in Washington
wants to take a look at cleaning house. That's why
it's such a fight for us to tackle the regulatory
regime and do background checks for members of Congress and

(01:18:21):
their staff, Like nobody wants this accountability. They don't, but
it's it's really sad because I think if they were
forced to actually play by the book, no insider trading,
background checks, no dual citizenship, things like this, if we
were forcing members to do it, the trust would slowly

(01:18:44):
start to be rebuilt in the system in our government.
And I think a healthy amount of skepticism is always good.
But when you've got a fourteen percent approval rating on
a good day, it's a sign that you're not doing
things in the best interests of the people. And so
we've got it. Like I say, it goes back to
longevity and are we going to be a republic for

(01:19:05):
the next two hundred and fifty years? Not at this rate.
Certainly the physical situation will answer that for us. But
if we want to continue to be this wild, crazy
experiment in freedom, we have to start cleaning up the house.
In HR one forty three, it's one of the big
important steps we've got to take.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
Kat, you got to get on Fox. Even though we
talked about the limitations of television, but you also have
to get on Glenn, and you got to get on
Clay and Buck, and you got to get on Sean,
and you got to get on Mark Levin. You need
to be beating the bushes on this because this is
really good. I'm proud of you. That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Thanks well, I will I'll be on Harris Faulkner today
at eleven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Okay out, okay, this and a bunch of other.

Speaker 4 (01:19:46):
Things, and lord knows, I try to do as much
media talking about these issues as possible, but man, we
really need the people. Like this is where the power
of the people is so important. Call your representatives, because
there's nothing that a chicken crat politician fears more than
when their constituents start lining up their phone lines and saying, Hey,
I want you to sponsor this bill. Hey, please sponsor

(01:20:06):
this bill. They all of a sudden start paying attention
because they're thinking reelection, right, and so that's where I
need the people's help.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Kat, you're the best. Hopefully we'll talk again in a
couple of weeks before the Christmas break, but if not,
Merry Christmas and thank you for all you're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:20:22):
Hey, appreciate you more than you know. Everybody have a great,
great holiday if I don't see you or talk to
you before then, and may God continue to bless these
United States.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Thank you so much. Kat Camick with us this morning
on the morning show, dream It Planet, The Presston Show
with Morning Scott. What the final half hour of today's program. Tomorrow,

(01:21:00):
J D. Johnson joins me from the Talent Training Group.
We will talk a little bit about shopping for people
in the world of firearms, personal defense and the like.
We will also spend a good bit of time talking
about jugging because it's a problem and you just need

(01:21:23):
to be aware. But that's tomorrow on the program. Also,
it's more shopping hints for you. President. City may cut
income tax us not he The US may cut income
tax completely in the next couple of years due to
tariff income. I don't think it's at all realistic. I

(01:21:44):
think we have to look at converting the entire tax
code to where everybody pays something. The idea that we
would have people under two hundred thousand dollars pay no
income tax is just it's wrong. It just is wrong.
Everybody should pay something. I am a big fan of

(01:22:08):
the fair tax. I won't relitigate that this morning. If
you look it up, you'll understand why I'm a fan
of it. But the teriff issue is not remotely settled.
I would argue that what Cat's talking about, Cat Camick,
that is fundamentally a starting point. How in the world

(01:22:33):
can we have over a thousand agencies and departments not
authorized by Congress that exist and they're fighting to keep them.
I'd someone email me in the break saying that's how
you know the amount of manipulation that is going on
when they fight for those agencies that have never been
approved by Congress. You would think just as a matter

(01:22:56):
of common sense. Wait what, let's make this us even
more common sense. Let's say you own a business, and
you own that business, and you came back one day
and came to learn that they had expanded that business,

(01:23:18):
and that they put this department in that department, and
they hired a bunch of other people. Your labor costs exploded,
your health care costs exploded, your liability insurance explode, all
of it because you've expanded, but you didn't expand people
did it without your approval? Is that workable? Is it

(01:23:41):
a workable model to expand a business a thousand times
without approval from the people responsible to pay for it,
i e. You and me. We approve it by way
of Congress apologies for the coughing, and so by virtue

(01:24:04):
of them not accepting the responsibility to take a look
at every you cut all of them, glideslope them off
if you have to to save you know, people just
throwing everybody out of work. But those things have never
been improved by Congress anyway. Before we get to the
tariffs and all that, that stuff has to be has

(01:24:25):
to be dealt with, and that now is a big
story in the press box. Forty one minutes past. All right,

(01:24:47):
the courts, new documents are revealing that Jack Smith intentionally
violated Congressional Republicans constitutional rights. He was the guy illegally appointed.
You know, they're they're making such a big deal about this.
What's her name, Alina Haba. And you know what, if

(01:25:08):
Trump didn't follow the procedures, protocols, the law, that's fine,
throw her out. I don't have a problem with that.
But what about Jack Smith? He was illegally appointed. Everything
he did, Judges turned a blind eye to the fact

(01:25:29):
that he was illegally appointed. Now they found out he
violated the constitutional rights of members of Congress and that
the Biden administration knew and approved it. It is completely
unconstitutional what Biden Jack Smith. The Department of Justice under

(01:25:51):
Merrick Garland. Merrick Garland was a whisker away. It might
be the only decent thing, one of the few decent
things that Mitch McConnell did. He said, Nope, we're not
putting Merrick Garland in. He was going to be a
Supreme Court justice. Merrick Garland, the guy who was the
Attorney general, who was a disaster. He was an activist

(01:26:15):
as attorney general. What do you think he would have
been as a judge. He's got this mister peeper's look
about him, so you know, kind and no, no, no,
no no. The other court case that I was interested
in is the shooter of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

(01:26:36):
They're trying to get his case thrown out. His defense
attorneys this guy who allegedly killed Brian Thompson. Although it
was on tape and everything, everything, all the evidence, it's

(01:26:58):
an open and shut case. The problem is they are
arguing that first, did the police have a legal right
to obtain physical evidence? The evidence they had is overwhelming.

(01:27:26):
This is where I will be very honest with you.
I struggle. So you arrest a guy carrying a backpack
who you believe is the guy who on tape murdered
somebody in cold blood? What do I care? If he
had proper probable cause? He had the goods to me

(01:27:52):
proper probable cause comes if he didn't. Does that make sense, Sue,
Wait a minute, you violated his rights because in fact,
he was not guilty of anything. He didn't have anything
on his possession, and you had no reason. But if
you played a hunch, and I'm just I'm I don't
know what the argument's going to be by the prosecution,

(01:28:13):
and you hit a jackpot. He's got all the incriminating evidence.
That argument should be out the door. And I know
I got defense attorneys listening to this program that are
having a cow right now. That's okay, you're playing by
the rules the way they are right now, but those
rules are wrong. Now the gun's literally smoking and in

(01:28:37):
his backpack. Uh yeah, I don't care how I got it.
You're carrying it. You're carrying the gun. I caught you.
You didn't have probable cause? Sure, I did I think
you were the guy? That's enough. Second part is known
as a Huntley hearing. They're going to review whether statement

(01:29:00):
Sead he made to law enforcement were coerced or obtained
violation of his rights. Oh boy, could you imagine if
this guy walks free? Wow? All right, forty seven minutes
past the hour. We don't make up the news, we

(01:29:20):
just tell you about it. As of last night, we

(01:29:48):
were eighty nine hundred and fifty five dollars away from
reaching our goal of fifty five thousand dollars for Orphan Shade.
So what he is saying help us. We are. We're

(01:30:13):
building a home for little girls that don't have a
mom or a dad, and we'll be raised by a
set of parents that are taking on the mission of
raising eight little girls that are not theirs, and we're
building the home for them to do it in a
home that is not seasonal but permanent. They'll be educated,

(01:30:35):
they'll learn about Jesus, they'll be fed and clothed properly.
They'll have a chance. They will have a chance. So
Orphanshade dot Com in the right hand corner you'll see
a red donate button. Well, you can go to the
website and just learn all about it. There's a little

(01:30:55):
short two three minute video that explains things very simply
in how they do what they do. It's really cool.
There's very very very very low administrative cost to this.
This is this is just a very unique program. And
I know the co founder of it. He and my

(01:31:19):
wife have been friends for forty plus years, and so
I know the integrity of this man his wife and
what they're doing. And we build a home in twenty
twenty two home number three. This is home number six,
So donate and in the drop down menu build a

(01:31:40):
house and in the comments house number six. Brought to
you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show
one eight on WFLA Orphanshade dot com. That's what I
did there, dramatic pause there to reset it. Today on

(01:32:02):
the program, an outstanding visit as always with US Congressman
Kat Camick. And let me let me just remind you
because she sent me a text here beautiful pictures of
her little girl. HR one forty three, the USA Act

(01:32:23):
HR one forty three, so called Neil Dunn, called Jimmy Petronis.
All of your representatives all across the country, Let them know,
co sponsor it, get in on this, do this all.
But it's hard work. Well that's what some of them
will say, Yeah, how about doing so? How about it?

(01:32:50):
Started the program though a little backwards here with Luke
two versus thirteen, fourteen and fifteen. That's where we started
the pretty good We're doing devotionals about the Christmas carols,
the hymns that we sing at Christmas time and the
scriptures that tie to them, and then the what it
should be speaking to us. Hopefully it'll be planting seeds

(01:33:14):
for you as you sing those songs to reconsider. That
covered a lot of ground today on the program. We'll
do it again tomorrow. Lots to talk about more shopping advice.
I'm hopefully going to be feeling a little bit better
every day. I'd say today is a transitionary day. I'm
not I'm going to stay and do a little work,
do a little added recording. So that's a positive sign.

(01:33:37):
So hopefully I'll get a little bit better tomorrow and
we're on our way. So yeah, have a great day, friends,
