Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hey, Good morning Wednesday, the cent for the tenth on
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am Preston, Ho
Ho ho. How are you? He's ose show fifty five
to ten. We are. We're just a little bit over
two weeks away. Okay, Nick celebrating little baby Jesus. Come on,

(00:40):
were welcome you to the program. There there's much to
talk about today, a lot of fascinating stories in the news.
We'll let you listen to some sound that I think
is worth giving your attention to. If you've not heard.
We have reached our goal for Orphan Shade. It happened

(01:00):
on Monday. We announced it yesterday. We did it thanks
to all of you. So a hearty, heartfelt thank you
on behalf of Jay and Stacey and Pastor Prince and
most importantly those little girls that you're going to help
change their life and that is pretty cool. So thank

(01:23):
you very much. Isaiah seven fourteen, very familiar passage. Therefore
the Lord himself will give you a sign. Now I
want you to place this in some historical context. A

(01:45):
virgin shall conceive embarrassed son and shall call his name Emmanuel.
A virgin shall bear a son in those days an

(02:11):
unmarried woman being pregnant often ended in stoning to death.
God is offering such an extraordinary circumstance to verify his

(02:39):
plan being fulfilled. The Lord himself will give you a sign,
a child conceived by the Holy Spirit that just puts

(03:03):
to rest so many parts of the story of doubt.
There is not a young girl in Israel, in the
region anywhere that would take that upon themselves, the risk

(03:30):
of being killed, the likelihood. But God provided for that
as well, with a man of honor who found a
bit of nerve after being visited by an angel of God.

(03:52):
I guess that would build the courage of a lot
of us. I don't know about it. Well, yes, Lord,
So there's your verse for the day. Today on the program,
Doctor Bob McClure will join us in the third hour.
Lots to talk about. In fact, we had an election,

(04:13):
a special election yesterday in Florida that I hope the
GOP is paying attention to because for the first time
in three decades, Democrats are off the map in Miami

(04:34):
and this is it's no bigger than that, but it's
also not smaller than that. And I'm I feel as
though the absurdity of how the Republican Party conducted its

(04:57):
business in the last legislative session, and how the Republicans
are allowing the messaging to just punch them into a
corner and they're not responding. We're seeing the first sign
and we'll talk about that as well as a lot more.
So stick around, We've got some shopping help for you.

(05:20):
It is Wednesday, hump Day. Hop Duo on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
His job to keep you informed. The Morning Show with
Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven. Doubufla
turning the pages of the American Patriots Almanac to this date,
December the tenth.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
We're in double figures. Now time to you're really now
in the in the home stretch of twenty twenty five
and heading to twenty six and what will be a
fascinating year in politics governance. We will elect a new governor,

(06:12):
America will elect a new Congress. Imagine what happens to
this country if the House falls back to the hands
of the Democrats, and right now the signs are it will.
The GOP is so bad it almost makes me think

(06:34):
that they're intentionally just letting it happen. There's a part
of me that thinks that most Republicans not all because
we got people like Katkam Camick, who's fearless. They're not
They're they're not courageous enough to lead, to just lead anyway.

(07:00):
It is the tenth of the month, so opening up
the pages here of the American Patriots Almanac on December tenth.
In eighteen seventeen, Mississippi becomes the twentieth site. Eighteen sixty four,
William T. Sherman General reaches Savannah, ending his march to

(07:21):
the sea. That was Sherman's march was quite the uh,
quite the message that was sent. The territory of Wyoming
grants women the right to vote in eighteen sixty nine.
Nineteen eighty seven, Stars and Stripes forever designated as the

(07:42):
National March. That's a cool song, by the way, I
think it.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Dun boom boom bom boom boom boom boom bom boom
boom boom.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I could be wrong. Nineteen ninety eight, six crew members
of the Shuttle Endeavor become the first astronauts to enter
the new International Space Station. Came in, looked around, decided, Eh,
we don't we don't. We're not gonna buy it. Went
looking for another place. Not just kidding. It is not
a lot. On this national day of its National Lagger Day,

(08:19):
what's a lagger? I know it's a beer, but it is.
A Lagger is typically characterized as a light summer beer.
It's distinguished from other beers by using cold conditioning process.

(08:41):
The types of yeast used are referred to as bottom
fermenting yeast, or yeast that can develop at colder temperatures.
Before the advent of refrigeration, brewers perfected this process in
cellars dug into the ground and filled with ice. Those
who the delicious results described Lagger as crisp and refreshing.

(09:06):
That is so hard for me to believe that a
beer could be crisp and refreshing. But then again, I
wouldn't know. I've never The only time I've ever tasted
anything that might resemble beer is when it's been cooked.
When I make beer cheese for fondue or any you know,

(09:30):
some kind of dipping, or when I boil brats or
shrimp in beer, the alcohol is cooked off and what's
left over it's you know, it's a real earthy, obviously
kind of taste, I suppose, but that would be the
closest but with the alcohol burned off, So I beer

(09:54):
to me just seems gross. But I know that a
lot of you, you know, it's you love it. It's
a thing, and that's fine. Just don't get drunk. But yeah, no,
I've just I've never never been down with that because
it's never been appealing to me. And today is National
Dewey Decimal System Day. I remember virtually nothing other than

(10:24):
I was taught, as every student back in the day
was taught the Dewey decimal system because it is the
most widely used system in the library and it's how
you find stuff. It's been in use since eighteen seventy

(10:45):
six American libraryan Melville Dewey developed and established. It divided
into ten main categories in Americal system arranges mostly non
fiction publications. So there you go, seventeen past the hour.

(11:23):
All right, got a listener, pretty frosty at Jose over
there because I and they're really probably mad at me.
No big deal. We'll get it fixed and I'll share
this in an email here in just a minute. Karen,

(11:45):
never got your email. I've run your name and your
email address through our system, and it would pop up
if you ever sent me anything, whether it's in our
deleted file and our spam file and our junk file.
We have a lot of them. I mean, as you
could well imagine. iHeart screens every single email it gets
in here, and they do it very thoroughly. And so

(12:10):
unless you send me an email loaded with a virus,
which I doubt even though you are an r N,
I'm just saying, you're all right, you know it could
have No, I'm just teasing. No, it never got an email,
so can't explain it other than it's not here. So
I have plausible deniability. Plus I'm a Christian and you

(12:30):
should extend grace to me anyway. That said, we're going
to get you taken care of, all right. If you
want to send me an email, it is pressedon at
iHeartRadio dot com, iHeartRadio dot com, the letter I Heart
radio dot com, presston at Okay, that's that's as simple

(12:54):
as it gets, so feel free to send me a
note if you have something you want to share storylink laugh,
I've got a Christmas Dad joke to share this week.
I had someone send me a Christmas Dad joke which,
by the way, while I'm on the subject of soliciting email,
which might be a big mistake for me, I really

(13:16):
am interested in one particular category. You're always welcome to
send a dad joke, that's fine, Send an opinion, that's fine.
I would love to hear from those of you that
take road trips, and if you have road trip suggestions

(13:36):
that you have personally been to. For example, I had
one come in after I talked about the Atlanta Botanical
Gardens last week. The Christmas lights be laughing at Oh,
that RN joke about the virus. Sorry, it's pretty good.
Get that keeps on giving it, isn't it. You just
think back, ruminate on it and cracks you up all

(13:58):
over again. I had a suggestion on another light show
that they say is better than the one in Atlanta. Okay,
well we'll share that. We're gonna share that one on
tomorrow's program. So anyway, McDonald's has just released a Christmas
ad made with AI and everybody hates it. What do

(14:25):
companies just not think sometimes? I mean, McDonald's, how do
you screw it up? You're McDonald's. I mean, through all
of the fast food wars, McDonald's is still just McDonald's right,
every now and then you just grab McDonald's. I've gotten

(14:48):
myself a couple of mcribs over the last few weeks.
Heck yeah, the company has released this it it's funny
because the company that released the the ad says they
hardly slept for several weeks while writing the AI prompts.
We're fighting the shots. AI didn't make this film. We

(15:08):
did well. It's gotten so bad they've turned the comments
off their YouTube channel. Think about that, it said, December
is often presented as perfect, while the reality is usually
far more chaotic. That truth shaped our AI driven campaign

(15:31):
for McDonald's McDonald's in the Netherlands, turning it's the most
wonderful time of the year into the most terrible time
of the year. That's what they did. They changed the
song from the most wonderful time of the year to
the most terrible time of the year. It's like, oh

(15:51):
my gosh, now I will credit them. There are a
couple of scenes that are kind of funny, but they
could have handled it so much better. And the AI
is just cringey. It just is anyway. Get used to it, friends, AI,
but never accept it. Twenty seven minutes after the hours

(16:13):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. You're still sucking down
my throat coat tea. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
I'm Preston. He's ose having a good laugh at each other.

(16:36):
Big stories in the press box got added to this
morning when the results of the election down in Miami.
The mayor of Miami is now a Democrat for the
first time in thirty years. That is a huge development.

(17:00):
Took nearly thirty years, but Democrats finally broke their decades
long ballot box losing streak in Miami. That's the city
known as the gateway to Latin America, and that is
a community that went all in with Donald Trump and
it's losing ground. The GOP's losing ground. It's a warning.

(17:22):
Supreme Court vacates a ruling that upheld New York school
vaccine mandate. Supreme Court kicked out a ruling and told
the lower court, the appeals court to reconsider New York
put a ban on the religious exemption. There's no religious
exemption to vaccines. You're getting vaccined, You're getting the jabs,

(17:47):
we said, So that's just the way it is. Oh really,
lower court ruled in favor of New York Appeals Court
supported it. Supreme Court said, oh no, no, no, no, no.
You go back and read mock Mood versus Taylor and reconsider.

(18:10):
They didn't tell them what to do, they just said, reconsider.
It's a huge development in that case. Parents, this is
a giant and we'll talk to Jerome Hudson next week
about this. This is a giant warning to you. One
of the ways that the woke left the anti God

(18:37):
pro fringe group. And it's not about loving all people
and being accepting of all people. It's about trying to
normalize things that are aberrant, trying to normalize things that
are perverted, trying to normalize things that are just what Netflix.
Nearly half of the kids shows on Netflix feat your

(19:00):
LGBT content nearly half. Now, when you consider that, let's
see what's the number here of youngins that have a tablet.
Fifty eight percent of children by the age of four
have a tablet. And here's what happens. And I get it.

(19:27):
Parents set their kids with the tablet and they just say,
entertain yourself, and they don't take the time to sit
there and screen the programs that they're watching. And they
think that they put some limits because they just allow
children and so whatever they want to scroll and watch
in the children's categories fair game, except it's not nearly

(19:47):
half is LGBTQ. They feature characters, They feature this lifestyle
very overtly. I'm just telling you. And then the last
big story flow governor around is Santas a fix officially
is designated the Council on American Islamic Relations and the
Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations following Texas in this one,

(20:14):
Texas won't allow him to own land nothing. I don't
know to what extent. Lawmakers allegedly in the session that's
coming up real quickly, matter of just a few weeks
away the legislative session. Can you believe it, they're trying
to patch together some teeth to this. But welcome news.

(20:35):
Forty minutes past the hour. We will pick up on
that topic next.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Write them at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes he
knows how to read, well, actually his producer reads him.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
He doesn't know how to read.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You to listen very very carefully. This is an excerpt of
a very long interview between Isaiah Salvavar, who is a
very bold Christian and his podcast, his YouTube channel is
all about that. And a pastor of a church in

(21:26):
Australia called Echo Church. His name is Martin Cedra. Martin
Cedra was an Islamist raised in It was one and
met Jesus and was radically transformed. He's now pastor of

(21:50):
a church. And this is Martin Cedra talking about where
we are here in the West Erica as it relates
to Islam. This is not easy to hear.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I break the Islamization of the West. I break it
up in four phases. Four phases. Phase one, open borders
and immigration. The Muslims play the victim card, they say
we need help. You start to see halal food promoted everywhere.
Oh my listeners, you've seen halal food everywhere, Like, yeah,
it's so nice. No, that's phase one of Islamizing the West.

(22:27):
You start to see a lot more hey jobs. You
start to see a lot more moss built. That's phase one.
It's a lot easy, very peaceful, very kind people. Phase two,
and this is America's there. Muslims begin to gather in
large groups of people, which is happening in New York
Times You guys have seen it Times Square, New York.
Thousands of Muslims. That's Phase two. They're no longer in

(22:49):
one or two or five. Now they're in the thousands.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
Come.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
They begin to pray in the streets publicly, Michigan. They're
not praying in the mosque anymore. They begin to pray
in the street. Dominance. They begin to infiltrate politics like
Zorham Mamdani. This is phase two. They begin to open
prayer rooms for Muslims in and they did it in
a Vatican. They just open a Muslim prayer room. They
begin to open prayer rooms. Then phase three, Phase three

(23:14):
is where Michigan is out right now, Isaiah, Michigan is
at phase three, and New York will be in phase
three very soon. What's Phase three? They begin to get
the call to prayer in the street. You hear five
times a day a laha albar. You start to see
rape cases increase, rape cases. This is what happened in
the UK. Phase three, rape will go up. That's just

(23:36):
the fact Islam is a sexually converted religion. It is
a sexually perverted religion. You know why, By the way, Isaiah,
you know and all my listeners. You know why the
rape cases are so high when Muslims migrate.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
To the West, the rape cases are so high. A
few reasons.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Number One, in Muslim countries, women are not allowed to
show their skin. Women cover their head, cover their whole
body from head to toe. In afghanistand a talibun told
the woman you have to cover your eyes.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
They it's like a ninja. They can't speak or singing public.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
So so number one, the men have never seen a
woman before, they've never seen her skin. Number two, which
is a crazy one, is in Islam, heaven is a brothel.
So for men, Muslim men, the reward in heaven is
seventy two virgins.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
So what's our reward. Our reward is Jesus Christ.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Our rewards to be in the preiss of God, to
worship the Lord Jesus Christ, with all the angels and
all of creation and all the believers.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Their reward is seventy two virgins.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
So now you have a Muslim man who's never seen
a naked woman, but he's imagining naked women in heaven.
In heaven because the Koran, by the way, and the Hadith,
I'm not gonna say it on this podcast. But the
hadith is disgusting. It is pornography in the Hadith. And
now he moves to the west and he sees women uncovered.

(24:59):
So now he's he is woman, you know, not in
a had job. He sees woman's legs, he sees woman,
you know, their arms. He goes to the beach, and
all of a sudden, this guy's mind is going crazy
because his brothel he's been waiting for in heaven is
finally on earth.

Speaker 5 (25:14):
So demonic, it's it's now, this is demonic. So what
do they do.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
The rape cases increase, they shoot right up the sky.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
Plus you add the whole were pigs and apes.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
So there's no honor on woman like in Christianity, we
honor women, we love women, we protect women. We don't
lust after women. God says, gouge your eyes out. In Islam, no,
you can look at a woman with loss as long
as she's not a Muslim. So so the rape cases
are going to go up, and the knife attacks and
terrorism is going to go up.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
You guys saw what happened.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
You guys saw what happened in front of the White
House right last week, that Muslim, that Muslim man shooting, shooting,
the two the two gods, one of them dying. This
is just Islam and that's about to go up and
up and up if we don't put a stop to immigration,
and we don't we don't knuckle down and fix this
immigration problem and put restrictions on Islam. There has to

(26:10):
be restrictions on what this guys can do on kN do.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
There you go, And he didn't even get to the
fourth step. I mean, there are four phases that he
broke it down into. This is a former Islamist. He
knows what's in the Quran, he knows what's in the Hadith,
studied it, knows it, and he sees what's happening in culture.

(26:36):
The Australian authorities hate him because they're afraid. They're scared
to death of the Islamis. Putting it on your radar. Friends,
to those that are the quote peace loving Muslims, Islamis,
prove it. Speak out, Speak out against these crimes committed

(27:06):
in the name of Allah, Speak out in in the
name of uh of your faith, and condemn these rapes
that are happening over and over and over and over,
these honor killings. Condemn them. Come out together condemn them,
prove it. Forty seven minutes past the other.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Preston Scott boy, that escalated quickly.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
I mean that really got out of hand fast.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
On w f L A m hm. Okay, we just
listened to a former Islamist now Christian pastor, Martin Cedra.
Look at the look the guy up man. He is
woo fear less. What I love about it. He's saying

(28:04):
things I've been saying for better than two and a
half decades. I was talking about this when I was
in vocational ministry. I spake years studying world religions. He
talked about how the pacifist Muslim Islamist out there is

(28:33):
going to be targeted by these people, and then they're
gonna go hard after Christians, or they're gonna go hard
after Christians first, and they'll use that as leveraged to
get the pacifist to just go along. That's how it works.
Did you see the news story this week about the
British lawyer that said video of Afghan migrants dragging away

(28:57):
a fifteen year old girl to rape her that if
they released the video and showed it as evidence, it
would spark riots. That's how bad the video was so
a seventeen and fifteen year old we'll spend time in

(29:21):
prison in the UK for sexually trashing this young girl.
She's on video screaming for help. A woman nearby repeatedly
asked her if she was all right, and she said no,
I need help. Nobody did anything, and what happened to

(29:45):
her is on video. She didn't want to get involved
because she didn't want to be called aled racist or
bigot against Islamists. It would lead to public rioting if

(30:08):
it was seen. Go back to what Martin Cedras said. First,
likely not an Islamist woman, so they don't care. There's
some regard for Islamist woman anyone else. They're an infidel,

(30:29):
they're trash, they're worthy of conquest. One got ten years,
the other got nine because he's allegedly under seventeen. Of course,
there's no way to really know because they're refugees, and
refugees oftentimes claim minor status to avoid getting the proper sentence.

(30:51):
The judge in the case accept that you come from
a place that has significant cultural differences from the UK. However,
I do not accept that either of you does not
understand the concept of consent. Cultural differences douck heck are
you talking about? Meaning they're from Afghanistan where it's okay

(31:16):
to rape women. I guess friends, Oh Christmas treets been warned. Alrighty,

(31:46):
it is the second hour already here of The Morning
Show with Preston Scott, Wednesday, December the tenth. I hope
you're doing well. I am. I'm joining always of course
by Jose, can you see not always but nearly always
every now and then I might have Jared in here,

(32:08):
though it's been better than a year since Jared's been
in here, and perhaps Grant Allan will make a return
sometime next year. But uh, Jose and I just hang
out together each and every morning with you and share
some news. I will tell you that you know you
can if you start finding videos that bless you, like

(32:35):
I just watched a video I sent it to my
wife of Random Acts TV. I think it is Random
Acts TV or something like that. Anyway, it's a clip
of a couple with their family checking out. They're just
they're buying a few things at Thanksgiving, and you just

(33:00):
kind of can tell they're watching their pennies. And so
this lady interrupts and walks up and says I'm sorry,
Can I just I just need to check something real quick.
And she takes her debit card and goes peep and
she taps it, pays the bill, and the husband is liked,
did she just pay our bill? And they had gotten

(33:31):
maybe one or two cartons of baby formula, and if
you've not priced baby formula, oh my goodness. And the
lady who came up with a debit card, young girls, said,
is that all you need? She goes, well, this is
what we can afford, and you just paid for it,
so thank you. And she said, oh, we got to
do better than that. And so she she said, we're

(33:54):
going back in, and so they go back into the
store and they just start grabbing everything they need and
this this wife is just losing it. They're getting diapers
and formula and food and what you and I would
look at and say necessities. And the total bill was

(34:17):
like three hundred and twenty one dollars and the lady
just went tapped it. I love stuff like that. I
don't know where the money came from. I also ran
across the final version of the video about Ed Bombas,
and we talked about Ed in our Good News segment

(34:41):
last week. Maybe it was the week before he was
retired from General Motors and the company went bankrupt and
they took his pension, they took his health care. His
wife died. What he didn't say to the man who said,
I want to help you and gave him four hundred
dollars tip working at a Walmart eight days a week

(35:01):
at eighty eight years of age. The man does this.
He has sponsors and they help people that need help,
and he gets tips on someone that needs some help.
And so someone pointed him to Ed. Ed shared his story,

(35:24):
what a kind hearted man, and so he gave him
the four hundred dollars in Ed just broke down and
they kind of reunited. They stayed in touch. He said,
I'm going to do something to help you, and so
they did a good gofund me campaign. Ed had no idea,

(35:44):
and he said, what'd you do with that four hundred dollars?
Ed said, I didn't. It's still sitting here in my pocket.
He said, because I wasn't sure it was legitimate, so
I didn't want to spend it. And it was like, Ed,
it's legitimate. But there's more, he said, Ed, you didn't
tell me that you had some debt, and he said, well,

(36:09):
it's it's my debt to deal with. When they took
my health insurance and my wife got sick, I had
I've got two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars of
medical bills. One point seven seven million dollars was raised

(36:30):
and they revealed that to Ed and he's going to
get to retire if he wants to. He's been without
his wife for seven years. That's not the story I
had in the rundown here, but I'm I'm feeling compelled

(36:54):
to share with you those of you that jumped in
on Orphan Shade, thank you. We raised the fifty five
thousand dollars. Maybe you didn't jump in. It doesn't have
to be everybody's burden. My challenge is this, find something,

(37:19):
find something to give to to help. Maybe the next
time you're at a drive through and the car behind
you is on its last legs, maybe pick up their tab.
Maybe if you're in line grabbing a meal and law

(37:42):
enforcement walks in and they're getting something neat, pick up
their tab. Maybe at the checkout you can take a
look at somebody's grocery bag and you can say I
can help them with that. I'm just saying, open the
door to the pos stabilities of ways you can make
a difference in people's lives. Eleven minutes past the Comet

(38:07):
and Joy and Beck.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
You want him on that radio America can handle the truth.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
You need him on that radio nine to noon on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, a couple of stories here, get kind of caught
up before we get you some more shopping advice. Please
to know that people are taking the advice. They're going
to the merchants that I mentioned, and they're saying, yeah,
you're right. Duh, of course I am. She just figuring
that out right for twenty three plus years now, I've

(38:49):
been No, I'm just kidding. I've been right way longer
than that. The uh, there's a whistleblower claiming Somalian committed
mass medicaid fraud in Maine. Now not just Minnesota, Maine.
Here's what we're coming to see. Smaller owned company is

(39:12):
from the Daily Caller may have defrauded Maine in a
manner similar to schemes that ripped off at least one
billion dollars from Minnesota. Company falsified documents to obtain payment
from Maine's medicaid program. For services to low income and
disabled clients. Abdulahyi Ali, the owner of the company, reportedly

(39:38):
ran for office in Jubiland, a region of Somalia, and
boasted about funding a militia there. Here's what's happened. Somalis
have figured out that they can get access to free money,

(39:59):
and so this guy did. He set up this company,
probably following the template of Minnesota, got this money and
apparently to win elections he didn't win. To win elections
in Somalia. In these states in Juba Land is one
of those states inside Somalia, you have to have a militia.

(40:24):
You have to have some strong arms, you gotta have
some enforcers, you gotta have guns. And so he was
using the money to fund his campaign to hire the gunman.
US tax dollars, Main tax dollars, Minnesota tax dollars going

(40:47):
to this stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Apparently they received twenty eight point eight million dollars. And
of course Democrats, if you raise the concern about this
kind of thing and you point to it, you're a
racist and a bigot. And so Democrats are calling out
the guy running for governor in Maine who's a Republican

(41:16):
for even mentioning it, calling it out friends, This is
how Islamis are gaining a foothold in this nation. They're
using our freedoms and then they attack through their surrogates.
Anybody who opposes sixteen past the hour when we come back,

(41:40):
some shopping help here. On the Morning Show with Preston
Scott yesterday, I brought in a catalog for Kevin's Kevin's

(42:03):
Catalog dot com and shared it with Jose. Impressive, wasn't it.
Never would have thought that a local brick and mortar
store would have a catalog like that. That's what you
expect an ll bean to look at, and it's bigger
than Lban. That catalog's amazing. So we're given shopping tips
and getting great response from you, many of you. On

(42:28):
the tips yesterday, for example, I talked about Uncommon Goods
dot com and i'd someone write me before the show
even ended said I found two amazing gifts for somebody.
Thank you ordered him right there. Now, I preface all
of this by saying, you are running out of time
and you're getting to where you might be jumping into

(42:48):
some you know, expedited shipping type things. But they're there
and you can at the very least you can mark
them and use them next year. But if you have
some shopping to do, you know. We started with Kevin's catalog.
We went to seventeen seventy six United dot com, Patriotic Gear,
Little Obsessed dot com and those are little things Little Obsessed.

(43:12):
It's just little things, all different kinds of things, Men'sgear
dot net, Signals dot com, Kingdom Andcountry dot co. Jose
went over there and really was impressed with that site.
It's a very cool site. It's husband and wife, both vets,

(43:33):
and the site reflects their values. God and Country. Love it,
Love it. Then we did Uncommon Goods dot com, which
is a really cool, eclectic collection of just everything, and

(43:55):
then today the eighth day of the Thirteen Days of Shopping.
If you are into outdoors, camping, anything along that line,
this is like Geekland, Nemo Equipment dot com, Nemo Equipment

(44:16):
dot com. It is unique camping gear. I mean some
really crazy cool stuff. Yes, some of it's pricey, but
no matter what. If you're like me, I don't mind
looking at the pricey sites. Doesn't mean I want to

(44:37):
buy something, but I might get inspired. I might go Okay,
that's cool and just the idea. Look at that they
make something that does that. I remember finding a desalinator
that was a pump that provides filtered, podable water out

(45:01):
of the ocean. I got one for one of my
sons for Christmas. I don't think he's ever used it.
I want to have one because I have a salt
pool and I got thirty thousand gallons sitting ready for
me as a backup emergency water source. If I need it,

(45:21):
all I have to do is desalinate it. Well, you
put this thing in, you crank it, and it has
a process of purification that takes the salt any contaminants out,
and you've got water that you can drink and use.
So if you're camping, imagine not having to haul water,

(45:42):
if you're camping by the ocean. Just as long as
you got a water source, boom, there you go. It's
brilliant life straws this kind of technology. Though. My point is,
you go to this website, Nemo equipment dot com, you're
gonna find ideas, if not the equipment itself that you're
looking for, you're just gonna go, WHOA, that's cool, and
your mind just starts wandering around and you get you

(46:04):
get inspired. But that would be a site I would
send anybody that you're buying for that is an outdoorsman
or outdoors woman person outdoors outdoors person. So there's your
suggestion for the day. Now, we've got the big stories

(46:27):
coming up in just a few minutes. President is floating
around something that I'm not sure is smart for the
next Fed Reserve chair. I just I like so many
things Donald Trump has done as president, I really do.
I just I shake my head because we could just
be better. We could be doing things better if we

(46:48):
watched our messaging. We could be in a stronger position
if Republicans would just message to begin with. But they've
gotten fat and lazy, and here in Florida, it's gonna
spell doom. You can mark it down. We've got a
segment of No Way Jose coming up in the next

(47:10):
half hour, so stay with us. It's twenty seven past Wednesday,
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Hight shuffling

(47:37):
up the deck a little bit. Florida Governor round us
Santa's big story in the press box has declared the
Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic relations is
foreign terrorist organizations. Thank you. I don't know how we're

(47:58):
going to turn this around. As emailers are pointing out
our freedoms are being used against us. I think there
are ways within the construct of the US Constitution to
create some boundaries. I think it gets back, and I

(48:28):
think my thoughts on this will prove to be the
ones that eventually we'll have some people speak up and
try to enact. I don't believe Islamis should be allowed
to run for office, just like I don't believe that

(48:55):
socialists and communists should allowed to run for office. You
cannot allow this faith to gain a foothold in this country,
and sadly it is because people are ignorant of what

(49:15):
is inside of it. They don't know enough about its founding,
they don't know enough about the writings of Mohammad, and
our ignorance on the subject is being used. I'm not
worried about being called any particular name about this, because
I know what's in the book the books. Anyway, Democrats

(49:40):
have ended a thirty year losing streak in Miami, and
that is a significant development. I'm going to get Bob
McClure's take on this next hour. I think it's a
huge wake up call to Republicans in the state of
Florida who have been sitting smugly, not all, some in

(50:01):
leadership and in control of the House in the Senate
for decades. Yes, super majority. This is a warning sign.
For the first time in thirty years, Miami has a
Democrat mayor. He's like, that's a mayor. No no, no, no,

(50:22):
no no. Do not overlook the importance and significance of
this election win in an area that Trump won. Trump
endorsed the Republican candidate, it didn't matter. Supreme Court vacates
a ruling that upheld New York school's vaccine mandate. This

(50:45):
is important because it's a Supreme Court case, and the
Court by vacating a ruling, they said that the lower
courts are wrong. That ruling is. They killed a ruling
without making a ruling telling them what they have to do.
They said, go back and think about it some more.
This ruling is wrong. You need to hear the case
again through the lens of this particular precedent that we

(51:07):
set earlier, and it was forcing parents of kids who
objected the vaccines on religious grounds. It eliminates the state
of New York forcing them to get shots. Can't do that.

(51:30):
You cannot do that. And the Supreme Court agreed. And
this is a huge story and one will talk about again.
We'll save this and talk about this more at length
next week with Jerome Hudson. Nearly half of Netflix's kids
shows feature LGBTQ content. So when you set the tablet

(51:56):
loose with your kids, and the number we went through
the numbers last hour of kids four years and older
that have a tablet, it's fifty eight percent. This is
how the ideology gains a foothold. It normalizes men marrying men,
women marrying women, men dressing as women, women dressing as men,

(52:17):
all of this role reversal, all of its nonsense. It
normalizes it in the minds of these kids. No, it
just breeds tolerance. No, it does not, because that those
are the groups that are singularly the most intolerant. This
is a warning to all of you that turn to

(52:38):
Netflix to babysit your kids. When you set the limit
the filter kids programs only and just let them go.
Nearly half of the programs they're getting that content. Forty
minutes past there, You're welcome. Forty two minutes passed Doctor

(53:15):
Bob McClure, jam I with us in a little bed,
no way, Jose. In the next segment, President of the
United States sat down with Politico. First, let's just pause
for a second. Politico hates him, but notice I'll talk

(53:41):
to him. Not a problem. And so the President sat
down and in that interview, which covered a lot of topics,
he was asked directly what the next FED chair must

(54:04):
bring down borrowing costs, lower the rates. Quote yes. When
asked if it is a litmus test that the new
chair lower interest rates, immediately Trump said yes, I don't
think that's smart the Fed chair. If we're gonna at

(54:27):
first you can argue, we don't need a federal reserve.
We need to off ramp from this whole thing. We
need to go back to the gold standard. We need
to there's so many changes fundamentally we need to make
to the economic system of this country and the way
government operates in particular. But having said that, saying that

(54:51):
the only person I'm putting in that job is someone
that agrees with me and will lower the rates, I'll
just simply say that the rates right now might be
where they ought to be. They might not be, but
they might be where they ought to be. Interest rates
do stir economic activity, which does what it brings about inflation.

(55:18):
When people start buying a bunch of stuff, prices go up.
They don't go down because eventually you run into a
log jam of supply. When purchasing goes up, supply becomes tighter,
and when supply becomes tighter, prices go up. I don't
know if that is the solution to affordability. We seem

(55:44):
to be afraid to let the markets just settle in.
Regulatory issues need to be handled. Businesses need a sense
of certainty to operate. Without that, there's no chance of
bringing prices under control and all but eliminating inflation. Inflation

(56:10):
is going to happen. It's the rate of inflation that
we have to guard, and so I just I'm not
sure it's smart to make that a litmus test that
they've got to agree with him. I don't know that
one and a half two percent interest rates are good
because I worry that they will allow people to get

(56:33):
into debt that they cannot afford. But perhaps if we
took off the pressures of giving mortgages and loans to
people simply because of their DEI preference versus their credit worthiness.

(56:54):
But then think about this, is the United States credit worthy? Crap? No,
as a country, we're not. We are in so far
over our heads and debt it's absurd. The United States
of America could never go into a local bank and
qualify for a loan of any kind of any kind.

(57:18):
If it were just you and me walking in saying
here's my p and L, here's my balance sheet, they'd laugh, never,
never stand a chance. Forty six minutes after, come back
with another thrilling segment of No Way Jose on The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. We'll see if I screw it.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Up dispensing information at the speed of sound. It's The
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 7 (57:55):
Well, good morning, partners, and Merry Christmas to everyone. I Jose,
can you see you have a public service announcement. Yes,
I was not stabbed, this is true, but I was.
I was sliced by.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
My own doing. That's stabbed.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Well, you would think that.

Speaker 7 (58:19):
I was stabbed because it's a pretty gnarly wound.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Well, your mom freaked out.

Speaker 7 (58:24):
Yeah, I expertly sharpened a filety.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Knife expertly huh oh yeah, yeah with a machine.

Speaker 7 (58:32):
And uh yeah, I threw it into the sink to
wash it and it was blade up and like a
silly goose, I just dug my hand into the water
to grab some dishes to wash and slice my thumb
like a hot knife. The butter no way, Jose, Yeah, yeah,
unfortunately has never happened until that point.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yeah. Last week he told me what happened, and as
I'm prone to do, I immediately took it and had
fun with it because he was Okay, it hurts, I'm
sure quite a bit at Yeah, but I just said
that he was stabbed and and I just gave it
a second or two and I said, by himself, he

(59:13):
stabbed himself. And then his mother took a beat, big
sigh of relief because his mom was listening was wait,
what what what? I'm stabbed? What happened? He was all right, yesterday,
what what what happened? Yeah? Sorry? Mob, whoops sorry Rosa. Yeah, but.

Speaker 7 (59:31):
Uh this this happened this morning. I may have forwarded
a a maybe a robbery or some sort of scam
at a gas station I will not disclose, okay. And
so I pulled into the parking lot and I see
a couple in there, very very sketchy seeming, because, uh,

(59:53):
the the woman was at the door looking out of
the window almost like she was you know, the lookout,
the lookout right, and the guy was in there, you know,
looking very shady. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, well, should.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
I are you in your car?

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
In my car?

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
And I was like, should I go?

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Are you getting gas?

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
I was just getting some coffee, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
Yeah. So I was like, should I go in there?

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Should I get my gun and put it on me
and go in there? And should I just leave?

Speaker 7 (01:00:17):
But I decided to go in there, no weapon, Uh,
completely unarmed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Why did you do that?

Speaker 7 (01:00:22):
I don't know, but my spiders senses were tingling a
little bit. So I get in there, I'm getting my coffee,
and I could hear like an argument ensue with with
the people in the clerk, and to me, it sounded
like they were trying to confuse them because they were
trying to do the whole Well, let's let's forget that,
let's refund it, give me this and then I'll pay

(01:00:43):
for this and do this and go out to the car.
Get the rest of the month. So they go out
into their car, and I walk up and I'm like, hey, man,
you know, I'll just pay for whatever is going on here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Just put it onto my tab.

Speaker 7 (01:00:56):
And she comes in and and the guy was like, oh,
he he got it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
No worries, it's all right, he got it.

Speaker 7 (01:01:03):
And she looked at me and I said, she said
thank you, and I said, God bless you, ma'am, and
Merry Christmas. And she gave me a big old hug
and they walked out, and yeah, they left. So Lord,
please forgive me if I misread the situation or if
I judge them whatever incorrectly. But I believe I authorarted

(01:01:24):
a possible robbery or tomfoolery or something. Yeah, yeah, and
really quick because I have a second. There's an interesting
find in Norway.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
The Melting Mountains.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
No not unfortunately, no, which I'm still hunting that down.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
Yeah, they found a.

Speaker 7 (01:01:52):
Reindeer trap that is like fifteen hundred years old, with
antlers and bones and yeah, so something that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
People reindeer trap. The reindeer trap.

Speaker 7 (01:02:02):
Yeah, it was like a thousand thousand feet wide and yeah,
apparently the people back then, would you know, funnel them
in and yeah, catch the reindeer for you know, whatever
they were doing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
So that's pretty interesting to me. Definitely not Santa approved. No, No,
he would not approve. I still would have had my
firearm with me. Yeah. Yeah, man, you're a brave man.
I love that you help somebody. That's awesome. Good on you, brother.
All Right, we come back. Doctor Bob McClure will join us,

(01:02:38):
President of the James Madison Institute, our final visit of
the year with Bob on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:03:00):
Oh yeah. Leaving the music in my hands to start
the hour. This is what we do. We go back
to the old days, rolling the Christmas hits, Good Morning
Show with Preston Sky, Good morning friends, Good to be

(01:03:22):
with you. Yeah, Jose had to meet our guests outside
and I said, I got this. I got the music, buddy,
I've got the list. I've got I've got a library
of music at my disposal. I think the count is
I've got three point I've got three million, four hundred
and ninety two eighty nine tracks available. That's what I

(01:03:45):
got to choose from. And I dropped this hammer on you.
That's how we do it. Welcome friends to the to
the third hour of the radio program. And I should
tell Jose that I asked Bob to run late this
morning so that I could play the music here. Okay,
maybe not. How you doing, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
How are you coming in on two wheels?

Speaker 5 (01:04:08):
Coming in hot?

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Swear to goodness? Yeah, well, you know that's see. I
am so insulated from the wars of traffic because when
I'm driving, you can count the number of cars I
encounter on one hand, and then when I'm done, I'm
going the other way. So it's just brilliant. Yeah. How
you been Bob McClure with me. Doctor McClure is the

(01:04:34):
president of the James Madison Institute. I'm doing fantastic, sir.
How are you. I'm doing well. Merry Christmas early, Yes,
and we say that around here, of course we do.
Let me get your reaction. This is off the script.
I told you a couple of things I wanted to talk.
Excuse me, talk about your reaction to what happened in
Miami last night. They elected a Democrat as mayor for

(01:04:55):
the first time in thirty years.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
I was surprised, full disclosure. I know Emilio, the Republican nominee. Well,
what happened negativity wind.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Did the voters that are happy with Donald Trump stay home?

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
You know, I think that has been a big part
of it. I don't know enough yet to know what
happened last night. What was the final number. I'm trying
to remember how close. You don't know how close it was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
I just know that it's the first time in three
decades and I've now this is me. I look at
it within the context of Florida, and I say, this
is a wake up call for Republicans. Am I overreacting? No,
you're not at all.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
I do think there's a couple of things that happen.
I think people who are pleased or people who are
happy tend to not vote as much. Okay, you live
it every day. I live it every day. Oh yeah,
any of your listeners listen live every day. So we're
we're like anomalies, like we're we're not most of the population,
most of the country doesn't really care, pay a lot

(01:06:09):
of attention to politics. Now read the headlines right right
right now. They have very definite views, but they don't
live it every day, and sometimes they just don't show up.
And when your guy or gal is winning governor DeSantis
or Donald Trump. You have a tendency not to show up.
It's when you're angry, It's when you're put out. It's

(01:06:33):
when you were feel wronged, when you see perceived bad
decisions by corrupt politicians who are in power, that's when
you have a tendency to vote. I don't have enough
data yet to know what happened last night, but I
am surprised. I mean, that's a county. Well, it's not

(01:06:55):
the county, it's a city. Never mind, I was gonna
say it's a county. But the there France, you know,
it has been Republican, you know, for a long long
time and perceived as very popular, even ran for president
for a brief minute. Francis Suarez. I was very surprised. Uh,
And I'll just have to get more data to find out.

(01:07:16):
But to your point, President, you're right. The Republican Party
in the state of Florida, even though it has been
in charge for thirty years, let's say, since Jeb they
need to take this seriously. Every day, they must earn it.
It's that Nick Saban idea of the process. You right,

(01:07:37):
focus on the process every day. Otherwise there are a
lot of things that could happen because people are angry.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Whether you agree with them or not. Doctor Bob McClure
with me this morning a little analysis of what went on.
I think the results in Miami are a giant tap
on the shoulders slap across the face of the Republican Party,
not just in Florida but nationwide because they're they're they're
they're struggling with the same issues that they generally do
struggle with. They don't know how to message.

Speaker 8 (01:08:06):
We're gonna talk more about that we come back ten
past the hour, and and women serving our great nation
and our armed services, those serving communities as law enforcement
officers and first responders.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
I say, you are all essential workers. Welcome to the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Dr Bob McClure and I, uh chatting it up in
the break and and I threw them a curveball here
because you know, I'd shared some things I wanted to
talk about. But really all of that on the list,
for the most part, doesn't matter, doctor McClure. If if
we don't have the position and the authority to do it.

(01:09:02):
And so the next set of elections are everything to
the agenda. Yeah, so your thoughts. You know, I wrapped
up by saying what I've been saying for literally every
year since I started this show. The Republican Party does
not know how to message.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
They don't And to be clear, the James Madison Institute
just you know, is a nonpartisan organization. But we believe
in movement conservatism, which is free markets, limited government, right,
free enterprise, personal responsibility right. And to the extent that
those principles do or don't reside in the Republican Party,

(01:09:39):
and the fact that the Republican Party runs everything in Florida,
there is this kind of notion that we're we're Republicans.
Republicans act poorly just as much as Democrats, absolutely, both
at the state and the national level. So I needed
to get that out there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
Well, if you remove dn R from the entire equation
of our discussion, it's still oils down to those principles
and ideals being messaged so people understand them. We were
just talking about the fact that Netflix nearly half the
programming that Netflix rolls out has LGBTQ for children. For children,
the children's programming, they start messaging young and the messaging

(01:10:19):
part of the equation for for the conservative argument is
just is just flat out missing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Yeah, and and healthcare is a perfect example. So Donald
Trump gave the Congress, who is a do nothing congress?

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Okay, they passed the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
One big beautiful bill, which is incredibly important, and then
they act like there's nothing else to do. There's so
much more to do on healthcare, more on taxes. How
about a budget, a budget, novel, idea past judges, you know,
there's so much more to do, and you can't rest
on your laurels. You know, like they passed the one

(01:10:55):
big beautiful bill, but there's so much more to do.
So there's it's really a do nothing congress. But Donald Trump,
to your point about messaging, gave the Republican Party a
perfect example. Why don't we give them money? He said,
those healthcare dollars straight to the individual. Why are we
going to a health insurance company or through the federal
government via Obamacare. Why don't we just give the money

(01:11:18):
straight to your listeners, straight to them?

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Us Senator Rick Scott was on the show yesterday. That's
exactly what he was talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
It's a brilliant idea, and it's simple. You know what
it is. It's a health savings account. It's basically you
if through your employer, okay, or if you own your
own business, you fund your health care instead of giving
money straight to the insurance company, fund your a health
a health savings account. And it works like car insurance.

(01:11:47):
There is a a you know, deductible. Did you pick
anything over the deductible that the health insurance company pays for.
That's the way it works. And if you are unemployed
or stuck in the safety net and you can't do it,
guess what the federal government will fund that account for you.

(01:12:09):
You can't run to Vegas with the money, you can't
touch it for anything else. But why are we going
online to pick this Obamacare program and get these subsidies.
Give the money straight to the list to your listeners,
and then guess what they can pick and choose who
and how they will be treated. Costs will come down and.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Care will go up. Then the regulatory environment is set
by the states and the federal government to say, Okay,
we're going to get some competition, We're gonna get a
free market involge.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
Right And it's in the power of the individual. Right now,
the individual has no power. They are at the mercy
of the federal government and the medical bureaucracy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Imagine going to restaurants every day, friends, without prices on
the menu, right, that's what we do in our healthcare system. Yeah,
we need to change that. Good stuff. More to come,
Doctor Bob mcluir with me from the James Madison Institute
on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Oh the time,

(01:13:17):
just fleet fleeting, no, no fleas by it too fast.
I can't say it. It's all right. I just talked
for a living sounded like an idiot, just every other time,
Doctor Bob McClure with me from the James Madison Institute.
The Governor came out with an AI proposal. Just a
snapshot reaction from that, What do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
I think the Governor's on the right track with a
lot of things. The devil's going to be in the
details of what the legislature does. Look, your listeners know
this AI is affecting every aspect of our entire lives. Okay,
we have the opportunity for it to affect us in

(01:13:58):
a positive way. There are you know, there are a
couple of things related to AI that I think your
listeners need to understand. From a ten thousand foot level,
because we don't have a lot of time. In my
in my opinion at JMI, I understand what the govern
Where the governor's coming from. He believes that the state
of Florida can do a better job of regulating and

(01:14:19):
having AI used properly in our lives, and the FEDS can,
right because look at the Fed's track record.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
I agree with him, he's right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:26):
Having said that, I think there are a couple of
things we need to just think through.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Just think through.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
One is I believe states should handle outputs of AI.
That is to say, if they if there's fraud committed
by an insurance company, that's a state issue. If if
AI has been set up to be discriminatory in job
applications because they're using AI for job applications, that is

(01:14:55):
against the law. A different states can establish standards for
outputs of AI, Okay, frame how they choose, right, California
can do what they want, you know, Illinois, Florida, we
can all do it. Having said that, though, Preston, we
need a floor of standards at the federal level. Think

(01:15:15):
of car safety standards or fuel economy standards. Okay, think
of Amazon, whether you're in California, Washington State, or Tallahassee, Florida.
You go on Amazon, you order your vitamins or your
mirror or whatever. It works the same way in every

(01:15:35):
single state. Right now, what's different the taxing component, sales taxes.
That's an output at the state level. California drives up
the cost of everything they do. Florida lowers the cost
and makes it easier. But we need a floor at
the federal level. Okay, we can't have fifty different forms

(01:15:55):
of AI.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Right, Well, it'll bleed state lines, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Establish a federal floor, yeah, okay, and then govern outputs
by state and it won't kill ingenuity. So for example,
I'll give you one more example. There have been almost
two thousand different bills filed across the country regarding AI.
It's like fifteen hundred to two thousand. Okay, half of

(01:16:21):
those are in four states California, Illinois, New York, and
maybe Jersey. I can't remember the four state because they
want to strangle AI and innovation. There's so much good,
whether it's diagnosing cancer or managing traffic patterns, or of

(01:16:41):
making things more efficient and less expensive. But of course California, Illinois,
New York want to strangle ingenuity. Don't throw the baby
out with the bathwater. To use a horrible cliche. States
should handle outputs, but the Feds should establish a floor,
much like they do with car safety and car fuel standards.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
As you look ahead, I mean, obviously this is going
to be a component of the next legislative session. By
by doing this, the governor has signaled this needs to
be discussed, and he's right, he's right. What do you
see as from the from the chair as president of
the James Masson Institute, what are the big issues that

(01:17:22):
the legislature needs to make sure are addressed?

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Property tax issue is going to be huge. The governor
has made that his priority, and I think, but does
that matter given he's a lame duck now? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
it certainly matters, okay, And it matters for the Republican
Party and when it comes to elections next year.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
To your I think it's a huge issue. What I'm
curious about is, because you'res as good at analyzing the
waters politically of this state as anybody I know, does
it matter that it's Ron DeSantis's idea at this point?
In other words, will that carry any weight or is
it now on its.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Own No, No, I think it carries a tunnel weight.
I think the governor is still incredibly powerful. He's running
through the tape. He's not slowing down. He's not a
lame duck. He's got a new idea. He's in a
new part of the state every single day. Right, this
is not Lawton Childs God rest his soul, turkey hunting
in the back county of Jefferson County and nobody can

(01:18:22):
find him. Right, this is not it. And Governor Chiles
was a fine person. So Governor DeSantis is moving fast.
It doesn't matter because if they get something monumental or
significant done right. Victory has many fathers. Failure is an
orphan and everybody can claim credit right on this issue.

(01:18:48):
And is the governor of the driver. Yes, so property taxes,
Housing is gonna be another one. Okay, it's gonna be
a huge issue. Housing is gonna be huge because the
cost of housing is primarily what's driving it up is
not the state or the Feds. It's the local level.
It's permitting, its weight times, it's pay go, it's you know,
all of those things that are driving up the cost

(01:19:10):
of a house. So housing property taxes, education reform.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
Do they need to focus it in some way, shape
or form, or make sure a portion of it addresses
entry level housing. No, they need to.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
If you the way the market works, just build more housing.
The inventory is low. And that's what politicians, particularly local politicians,
don't understand. You don't have to build affordable housing, which
is code for crappy housing nobody wants to live in
and the builder loses money.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
Yeah, we don't need that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
Just build more housing and then guess what, People move
into those houses that they want. There's more inventory, and
then others move in to the other houses that have
just been left behind. And because of availability, price then moderate.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
Yes, people think you have to build Oh, we have
to build cheap housing affordable housing. No, you have to
build build housing that is affordable. Those are affordable housing
and building housing that is affordable are not the same things. Yeah, okay,
So build housing that is affordable at any level, rich,
middle income or lower income, and the market will shift

(01:20:23):
and they will slide in and prices will come down
because inventory is up. But it's the local governments too
often that drive up the cost of housing through all
of the regulations and the taxes that they do.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
The next time you and I meet, we will be
in the legislative session. It'll be fun. I can't believe it. Man,
that's right around the corner. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
Thank you, my friend. Merry Christmas to you as well,
Doctor Bob McClure, James Madison Institute, my guest.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Give it like a fine wine. Ah, excuse me, man,
Please have some more water. The pellegrino. Yes, sparkling, this
breathe very nice. Good morning, and welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
Scott and we're back. Big Stories in the press Box
went a little long with doctor McClure. But as I've
said repeatedly, it's my show. I can do what I

(01:21:34):
want until nine o'clock. Can't do anything. I can't do
anything about that. But the big stories in the press
box we talked about. One of them, Miami as a
Democrat mayor for the first time in three decades. Get
your mind around that, Republicans, lawmakers, evan power, Get your

(01:21:57):
mind around that you have lost Miami and either the
voters stayed at home or the negativity of affordability and
the noise has taken root and you've not done enough
messaging to counter that message. And so you know, whatever

(01:22:18):
you want to do with that is up to you.
But if you ignore it and try to be dismissive
about it, see if you come out publicly and say, ah,
it's nothing, No, that's a mistake right there. Voters vote
and send messages. It's up to you to interpret and

(01:22:43):
to learn from that. And I'm worried that the Florida
Republican Party is fat and sassy and doesn't doesn't think
they can lose the majority in this state let alone, sorry,
lose the super major already, let alone the majority. And
they're wrong on both counts. It can flip in one election.

(01:23:10):
There is a faux momentum being ginned up here by
the media. See see even Miami. I'm telling you there
are other big stories here, but I'm telling you right now,
that is a huge story. Democrats have nothing to offer.

(01:23:35):
They won on negativity. The reason why Republicans won the
presidential election and a lot of elections, it was on
the coattails of a Trump who had ideas here's what
we need to do now. I don't agree with all
of them, and I don't agree with his methodology on
a lot of things. But the policies of this president

(01:23:56):
are infinitely smarter, better for this country than the predecessor.
It was about plans, ideas, and the Republican Party has
not acted enough. The Congress is doing nothing, and they're

(01:24:20):
they're wasting this opportunity. You could have gotten things done.
Just get it done and given yourself a year to
watch it take shape, take hold, and then you message
along with it, and you say, don't go back to
what we had before, and you explain the reasons why

(01:24:43):
these policies work and why those policies failed, and why
changing Obamacare to the Affordable Care Act as opposed to
the unaffordable Obamacare. You explain all of that to people,
give them reasons why you're trying to bring the budget
under control. You speak the language of people. You say,
you know what, when you have extended your credit beyond anything,

(01:25:08):
you can't get anymore. You can't borrow any more money.
You get told by the bank you need to pay
down your debts. Guess what, ladies and gentlemen of America voters,
we can't borrow money anymore, and we're not going to
do it. We're paying down our debt. We're getting control

(01:25:30):
of our spending, and here's what it takes to do that.
Just like you have to decide whether you can afford
that filet or whether you have to get a inexpensive
cut of meat, we're doing the same thing. We're cutting
our budget. We're going on ramen and rice. You know why,

(01:25:50):
because that's a language people understand. I can't keep giving
away these free lessons, but I will because we Miami
is a harbinger. Forty two minutes past the hour, forty

(01:26:25):
three minutes after the hour, Wanting show with Preston's kind
a couple of updates. Remember the student at the University
of Oklahoma that got a zero on an essay because
if you don't know the story. Samantha Fulnecky, She's a Christian,

(01:26:45):
received a zero grade from a transgender teaching assistant for
not upholding the woke narrative that he wanted. Psychology course,
she was asked to write a six hundred and fifty
word essay reacting to an article about how people are
perceived based on their societal expectations of gender. In her essay,

(01:27:11):
she argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes.
She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating
gender in society would be detrimental because that would put
people farther from God's original plan for humans. She got
zero points out of twenty five from the professor Mel Curtis,
as miss Philnecki failed to use empirical evidence and called

(01:27:33):
parts of her essay offensive. Guess what, it doesn't matter.
It's an essay where they were asked to give their opinion.
So here's what's happened. The school confirmed that William, who
uses the pronouns she they had been removed from the
classroom for flunking the student, and now an assistant teaching

(01:28:04):
professor has accused of viewpoint discrimination stemming from a protest
organized to advocate for Kerth's return to the classroom. Another
professor has offered excused absences to students who wanted to
join in favor of protesting for that assistant. That teaching assistant,

(01:28:26):
they were going to give an excused absence for missing
a class to go to the protest, but they weren't
going to offer one for a counter protest. That's discrimination.
So they've apparently dealt with that too. Well done. Way
to go young lady for standing your ground and way

(01:28:46):
to go University of Oklahoma. You just need to rid
yourself of anyone who's transgender is not mentally well enough
to teach. I don't know how else to say it.
They're not mentally stable enough to be in a classroom.
Stop there, it's the updates. To stop there, because I
gotta get back on time. Forty six past the album.

(01:29:24):
All right, we're gonna go. I don't tomorrow, Steve Stewart,
It's Thursday. Once Tomorrow comes and goes, we get to Friday,

(01:29:48):
and Friday comes and goes. We will have eight shows
left in the year. That's it. Eight shows, and then
we do the Twelve Days of Creston. I'm assembling some
special sound for you to hear. I mean, today, today

(01:30:10):
we let you listen to a former Islamist now Christian pastor.
He he knows the Qur'an, he knows the Hadneith, he
knows it all. But we've got some other sound for
you to hear. Some of it, WHOA, some of it

(01:30:31):
really funny. I've got Sean Farash singing a Christmas song.
Is Donald Trump cannot wait? My Trump impersonator that I'm
desperately trying to get on the program. Yeah, see where

(01:30:56):
that where that goes? I I I don't want him
to do the interview with Donald Trump. I want him
to do the interview as himself and then share some
of the back and forth as Trump. I want to
know a little bit about him. I'm just fascinated to
learn about the guy. Also tomorrow, doctor David Hart's our
final segment of Optimum Health Naturally and tomorrow gop Gubernritorial

(01:31:19):
guber Gubernritorial. Who came up with that? Is that where
we got the term goober now because that's spelled with
two o's and this is spelled gub Anyway, Paul Renner

(01:31:40):
will join us on tomorrow's program, So Can I Wait?
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA. In case you missed the news.
Over the last day or so, we have reached our

(01:32:01):
goal for Orphan Shade. So the fundraising effort is over
Orphanshade dot com. If you want to stay involved, hook
up with him and learn more about maybe supporting a
home or a girl that is going to be moving
into one of the two homes that they'll build that.
They've got homes four, five and six. Four is being built,

(01:32:22):
five and six will be built simultaneously next year. Maybe
they I don't know where they are in supporting those homes,
but maybe you'd like to be part of that Orphanshade
dot com. But thank you, thank all of you. Amazing,
just absolutely amazing. Big stories in the press box today,
DEM's end a thirty year losing streak in Miami. We

(01:32:44):
talked about it. Yep, Democrats won. Sounding the alarm. Florida
Governor Round de Santus designates the Council for Islamic American
Islamic Relations Care and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists organizations.
Good good, good, good, good good. And we shared that

(01:33:07):
sound of Martin Edra, the pastor from Eco Church in Australia.
They don't like him in Australia. The government they don't
like him, and like anybody that speaks against Islam. Most
governments don't, most because they're scared. They ought to be

(01:33:28):
New York Supreme Court, or rather these Supreme Court vacates
are ruling from New York from the Appeals Court. I
think it's the second circuit of appeals. They basically said, yeah,
you're ruling, We're throwing it out, think about it, talk
about it some more, and a big one here. Nearly
half of Netflix's kids shows feature LGBTQ content, nearly half. So,
