Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hell Bill Bill Bill Boo, I passed the hour.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
How you doing, Good morning everybody, and welcome Thursday of
the Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston he Is,
He's Hosey. Let's get write to scripture and we can
then begin chatting about the program today. You ever heard
the song I'll be Home for Christmas. When you hear home,

(00:52):
I bet nine percent or more of us nine percent
or more of the time, think of our home, where
we lay our bed and our head, where we call
our house our home. It could be an apartment, it

(01:13):
could be you know, a townhouse, it could be a house.
But Scripture says, this is not our home. And there's
a great reminder here in one Peter two verse eleven, Beloved,

(01:37):
I urge you, as sojourners and exiles, to abstain from
the passions of the flesh which wage war against your soul.
In other words, this is not our home. We are

(02:01):
in this world, We are not of this world. We
are recipients of the divine spark that comes from God.
So just remember that. Don't get sidetracked worrying about stuff.

(02:30):
Always just pause and reflect and remind yourself you are
not of this world, you're in it. We are sojournals,
We're on our way. Told Jose when I came in

(02:51):
this morning, when I was younger, when I had a cold,
I would take that time aky sneezy. How in the
world did I get on the floor medicine Nike Wuill
was like, oh, yeah, just put me to sleep, just

(03:13):
see you. And I haven't taken a nighttime dose of
night Quill in a minute. And I took a generic
gel cap version last night, but only one. Normally I
would have taken two. I don't drink this stuff anymore

(03:34):
because Nike will liquid or the you know, generic equivalent
is just like ah, but I'll take a gail cap.
And normally when i'm really and I've been fighting this one,
I'm taking a gel cap that is the daytime version,

(03:56):
not the nighttime drowsy version. But I did. I needed
just a little more sleep last night, and so I
I did a I did one one caplet one of
those gel caps, and I woke up this morning and
I probably stood in the shower for five minutes motionless,

(04:18):
you know, like you just see in those in a
commercial or we're just someone's just the waters just pouring
down on them and they're not moving. I didn't move.
I just I just stood there. And when I came
in this morning, I just looked at him and it
was like and I was I'm alert, I'm fine. I

(04:43):
had no issue driving. But my gosh, it's have you
ever had Have you ever seen one of those stuffed
toys that you put in the in the microwave to
warm you up. It's one of those that you it's
a soothing kind of thing and you warm it up.
It's got beads in it, and usually the beads settle

(05:05):
in the bottom and it just sort of goes. It
just sits there. That's me. I've got beads in my butt.
I'm just sitting and I'm good. But my word. Thursday,
December eleventh, let's get to the American Patriots all neck
Next here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Sensey of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is a baked potato day.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Here on the program. Because the show is loaded. Of
course it's Thursday. That means Steve Stewart joins us. Doctor
David Hart's our final optimum Health segment of the year
and UH and Paul Renner running for governor. We'll have

(06:11):
the former Speaker of the House, boy I miss Paul
as Speaker of the House. Sh Folks were warned, Josea
LVA warned everybody about Danny Perez. That's where the system

(06:32):
of how we pick our leadership backfired on the Sunshine State. Anyway,
it's December the eleventh, eighteen sixteen. Indiana becomes the nineteenth state.
Eighteen eighty two. The Biju Theater that's just the best
Bizu the Bijou or the Biju Theater in Boston becomes

(07:00):
the first theater lit by electricity eighteen eighty two. Can
you imagine some people walked in there eighteen eighty two
and saw it lit up without candlepower? What magic is this?
What kind of sorcery have we walked into? Dear?

Speaker 4 (07:25):
What causes this illumination? What you say electricity?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
What is that? I know what city is we're in one?
What is it? Elect elect What is that.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
You say electricity? I'll slap you in the mouth.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Say it again. I'll slap you again. During World War Two,
Germany and Italy declared in the US nineteen forty one.
We responded, Germany, Italy, we're at war with you United States.
Oh yeah, we're a war with you. So there. I mean,

(08:15):
that's really the when you boil it down, that's what
it is, except it cost a lot of lives. Nineteen
seventy two, Apollo seventeen astronauts Jeen Cernin and Harrison Schmidt
land on the Moon during the last Apollo lunar landing mission.
So many people know the name Geen Cernin, but so

(08:37):
many more don't know the name Harrison Schmidt. Just one
of the heroes that we who. In two thousand and eight,
Berdie Mattoff is arrested in New York for running a
giant investment fraud scheme. I'll merely say that there are

(08:58):
elected officials that have done similar and have been rewarded
as opposed to arrest and just saying. It's National app Day.
So yeah, it's National stretching Day, as in, yeah, turn it,

(09:23):
do it, friends, do it. And it's National noodle ring Day. Yeah.
I had to look at that one. It recognizes recipes
made with pasta into a delicious round casserole. Okay, if

(09:47):
you say so, Honestly, I've never seen ringed pasta outside
of Spaghettios. Who hasn't had spaghettios? Hasn't everybody had Spaghettios
at least once? Did you have Spaghettios?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, but I bet you fell in love with beef
for RONI Yeah, I love the beef ones. Did you
prefer Spaghettio's plane or with meatballs? Oh? With the meatballs,
for the little tiny meatballs. Yeah, I don't know if
it was meat but darn right right, we're not quite
sure what that was. But sixteen passed the hour back

(10:28):
with more here in the morning.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Show UFLA WSLA FM dot com, on your phone with
the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
Google Home, Xbox in Sonos and Iheart's radio station.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Ah, the customer is always right. See what I did there?
Email time. This is really cool. You remember when we
had Cadet Mark Clemens on the program. Listen to this.
This is if you missed it. Mark is from the

(11:21):
Panama City area, mostly high school, and it was just
announced that US Military Academy Cadet Mark Clemens was selected
to receive the Marshall Scholarship for Continued Education after graduation. Listen,

(11:50):
it's the fifty second Marshall Scholarship received by a US
Military Army Academy Cadet. It's the eleventh consecutive year with
west Point earning an award. The Marshall is one of
the most competitive scholarships of its kind. The program was
created by an Act of British Parliament in nineteen fifty

(12:13):
three as a living memorial to US Secretary of State
George C. Marshall and American assistance following World War II.
The scholarship supports fully funded graduate study in any academic
topic at any university in the United Kingdom. One person

(12:35):
gets it, and our guest, Mark Clemens, Cadet west Point
is the recipient. That is so unbelievably cool. Does it
surprise me? No, why he was smart enough to be

(12:58):
on this radio program? That right there displays a next
level of awareness of the importance of what we do here. No,

(13:21):
it's it's incredible, just absolutely incredible. Could not be happier
for him. I would imagine his family is just beaming,
and I'm looking at his portrait, his official portrait. Come on,

(13:46):
that's just that's just so cool. When you consider the
long line of West Point graduates, and he'll graduate from
West Point next year, and then he has the the

(14:07):
invitation to study abroad.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
At the expense of his majesty.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Actually the British government. But we're not going to quibble there.
Let's uh, let's just do a quick a quick look
at the notable West Point graduates. I mean, goodness, gracious,

(14:43):
you start going through these names, I mean Stonewall, Jackson, Winfield, Scott, Dwight,
d Eisenhower.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Could we be I mean Sky could be president one day? Hey, Mark,
remember when you're on my show, then come back. I
have no idea what you'll say, but I'll pretend.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Also this, do you remember us talking about walking backward?
If you missed it, there are incredible health benefits to
walking backward as part of your exercise regimen. And you
might have heard me say and share a thought that
a listener sent me a note saying that he did it.
He tried it. Well, he's doing it every day now

(15:48):
and has been. I'm walking every day. It is really
helped with my lower back and posture. Interestingly, yesterday and
today two different people watching me walk backwards came up
and said they had seen or heard that walking backwards
also helps prevent dementia. He said, I'll take all the

(16:08):
help I can get at eighty one. Merry Christmas, Tim,
you go get them, buddy. But if you miss the
segment walking backward, and it doesn't surprise me because your
spatial awareness and a lot of things just switch on
and go differently when you're walking backwards. So the point

(16:33):
is do it safely. But as part of your exercise regimen,
puts some walking backward into it and you will benefit
from it. There's there's a testimonial right there twenty seven
minutes past.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Turning to the M A D Radio Network. You are
challenged to make a difference each and every day. Would
you do that for us?

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Please?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Please just just try it, would you? This is the
Morning Show with Preston Scott Audio Magazine. That's what you
get here.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Friends. We don't like to take one topic and just
beat it up all day long. It's boring for the
most part. There are exceptions, but it's happened fewer than
five times in five, five and eleven shows where something's
so big that it dominates a day. Usually we are

(17:39):
just we're just bouncing around different stories. But at the
bottom of each hour we do the big stories in
the press box. These are the things that I really
think you ought to know be aware of. FED has
cut its interest rate again. It was not a unanimous vote.
There were some that did not want it to change
at all. There were others that wanted it to change
a little more, wanted a bigger cut, but they settled

(18:03):
on a third straight cut of twenty five basis points,
which is another way of saying a quarter percent. And
so the new range is between three point five and
three point seventy five percent. That's the FED rate. So
what you'll see now is you'll see banks offering that
base rate plus whatever. Will it stimulate activity? Probably is

(18:30):
that a good thing. It depends. If too much of
it happens, it's probably not a good thing. But the
president's been demanding it, and yeah, so we'll see what happens.
Wall Street loves it, but Wall Street doesn't care so
much about the fiscal responsibility of something. They just want

(18:52):
people spending buying. And yeah, I can't say that I
understand the FED and its its thought processes, but it
is what it is. That's the news. The Trump administration
Homeland Security has bought six Boeing seven thirty seven airplanes

(19:20):
contract of nearly one hundred and forty million dollars. Why deportations.
They have decided that it is more cost effective and
efficient to run their own airline to get people out
of the country and not charter planes. I'm good with
that works for me. Their goal is to have a

(19:43):
million deported by the end of the president's first year
in office, which is January nineteenth. I wanted to circle
back to a big story from yesterday because a listener
pointed out something that I just looked at and it
cause me to shake my head. If I were to
ask you about how many registered voters you think there

(20:03):
are in Miami, the city of Miami, not Miami Dade,
the city of Miami, what would you think. I would
say about one hundred and fifty thousand. Maybe see I
would have guessed three hundred four hundred thousand. I would
have guessed far bigger than that. It's Miami, it's one

(20:23):
of the biggest cities in Florida, or so I thought.
One hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred and ninety
two registered voters. It was close. Yeah, you were, And
I never would have thought it was that low. I mean,
maybe three hundred and fifty thousand, four hundred thousand is
like ridiculous. Maybe, but I'm thinking, Okay, Miami, it's Miami.

(20:53):
One hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred and ninety two. Now,
the reason why I bring that up is the Democrat
won the mayor's office for the first time since nineteen
ninety eight. It was actually ninety seven that a Republican won.
The only reason a Democrat won that election is because
they this this is crazy. They engaged in ballot fraud

(21:17):
and so it wasn't proven until ninety eight when the
mayor left office. They so the guy came in second
became the mayor, and there began a run of thirty year,
almost thirty years with Republicans running the mayor's office. Here's
my point. Guess how many votes the winner had twenty

(21:40):
two thousand, one hundred and forty two out of one
hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred and ninety two people,
thirty seven thousand voted, thirty seven thousand voted. And some
would say, well, you know, this is twenty percent give

(22:02):
or take whatever. I don't think so that sucks. I
just I think that's noteworthy. Forty one minutes after the
art Christmas Joe with Preston Scott, what are you doing
with Freedom?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
On Used Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Another story I want you to be aware of. Didn't
make the big story stack, although I could have made
it one. You know that it happens. There's just so
much time in that segment. But we've been talking about
and again just to reset, this started when I did
a segment on conspiracy theories and we talked was it

(22:57):
last week or was it even this week, Jose about
a transplant patient that received a organ that had terminal
cancer all over it? Yeah, that was this week. And

(23:19):
the cancer jumped from that organ to the to the
the recipient, their their body and they died in months.
There's nothing they could do. They it's just you've got
to be kidding me. Well, guess what it's happened again.

(23:39):
Here's what's interesting. The story is out now. It happened
in February. Health officials announced yesterday an organ recipient who
underwent transplant surgery in Ohio died of rabies in February.

(24:00):
Further investigation revealed that the donor had become infected with
the fatal virus of rabies after saving a kitten from
a skunk. Here's the story. The donor, whose donated tissue
went to three other recipients, was infected with the silver

(24:24):
haired bat variant of rabies, which suggested that the skunk
had been infected by a bat. The organ donor from
Idaho was scratched on the skin while fending off a
skunk that displayed predatory aggression. Six weeks before that guy

(24:44):
died in late October twenty twenty four, skunk approached the
donor as he held a kitten in an outbuilding on
his property. During an encounter that under the skink, the
skunk unconscious, I'm guessing he beat it. The donor sustained

(25:07):
a scratch on the shin, but he did not think
he had been bitten. Donor attributed the skunk's behavior to
predatory aggression toward the kitten, as opposed to rabies. So
I'm bringing this up to point out that if you

(25:29):
are in a recipient list, you need to be certain
that your doctors are aware of every aspect of the
donor's health. If you are a donor and and you
are listed as a transplant organ donor on your driver's license.

(25:54):
Keep in mind the other side of these stories, and
it is that people are being well. There are there
are stories, and they're documented stories of people literally being
alive and then being sedated to keep them from moving

(26:16):
to have their organs harvested. And they're alive. They're they're
not dead, they're not in a coma. They're they're anyway.
You just be certain about what you're doing, and you
be very much at peace with what you're doing. Okay.

(26:36):
It's so interesting that these stories are starting to come
out now as more scrutiny is being placed on this issue.
Forty six minutes past.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Enjoy morning drive version of an audio magazine and keeping
you company as you prepare for your day. It's The
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
All Right, some more maybe useful medical related news. We
got healthy, healthy thoughts on our brain because today doctor
David Hartz joins us with Optimum Health. Naturally, this is
a story that's kind of flying under the radar. But

(27:26):
our team of research assistants and yours, truly, we use
a net with very fine mesh, so we catch a
lot of things in our filter. System. The FDA has
removed hormone therapy warnings after twenty three years. And what's

(27:53):
happening is it is validating what a lot of women
have been saying for years. Doctor writing for Epic Time says,
was I misled? That's the question I am hearing most
from my patients lately, asked with anger, exhaustion, and the

(28:18):
quiet devastation of women who wonder whether they lost years
of their lives to menopause symptoms they were told were untreatable.
The answer came earlier this month, when the US Food
and Drug Administration announced it would remove black box warnings
from hormone therapy products after twenty three years. For many women,
the reversal is an admission that arrives decades too late.

(28:44):
This goes back to two thousand and two, a preliminary
set of data from Women's Health Initiative published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association, showing the combined hormone
therapy estrogen and progestin increased the risk of breast cancer, stroke,

(29:04):
and pulmonary embolism. Women who had been sleeping well for
the first time in decades or in years rather suddenly
poured their medications into the trash pharmacies. Field had calls
from panic patients. Primary care doctors, most of whom had
never been trained deeply in menopause management, told their patients

(29:25):
to stop now, ask questions later. Women did stop and
suffered for nearly twenty years. Here's a familiar name to
some of you, doctor Marty McCarey, who is now the
FDA Commissioner and was a guest on this program. Thank
you very much. He spoke publicly about the shift. He

(29:48):
didn't mince words. He said the media had frightened women
away from potentially life changing therapy, and he noted that
there's a difference between estrogen only therapy and synthetic combination regimens.
He acknowledged openly that the fear machine had begun long
before the sci scientific data had been fully understood. The

(30:11):
details that matter most sat quietly in the medical literature
for years, and in the follow up studies published by
JAMMA in twenty eleven and twenty twenty. Women recruited for
the first study were all postmenopausal, aged between fifty and

(30:33):
seventy nine, with the average of sixty three a decade
passed the onset of menopause. Most had not used hormones before,
many had cardiovascular risk factors. The bottom line is the
entire study was based on was flawed. It wasn't A
study of people of women in menopause says the body

(31:02):
responds to estrogen very differently before menopause from how it
responds a decade post menopause. So here's the takeaway. Hormone
therapy is not appropriate for every woman. It is not
a cure all. However, it is a powerful tool for
the right women at the right moment and can restore
a quality of life you thought you'd lost. Not synthetic products, though,

(31:26):
so talk to your doctor about this. It's new advisement
from the CDC the FDA on the subject. All right,
when we come back investigative journalism, our final visit of
the year with Steve Stewart of Tallassi Reports here on
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Gonna make you want

(32:01):
to just go look at Christmas lights and drink hot chocolate?
Does me? Welcome friends? Thursday on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott Show fifty five eleven, And we're at that
stage of the year where the final visit for the year,
and in this case with our investigative reporter extraordinaire and

(32:22):
publisher the executive editor, sorry of Tallasti Reports, not the publisher,
Steve Stewart. How you doing good, it'll be a good
last visit. Well you say that we're going to probably
get some folks living in the Capital City a little
wound up speaking of let's just go to Capitol City
Country Club. What's up?

Speaker 7 (32:42):
This is a this is a great issue on a
lot of different levels and weset everything. So Capital City
Country Club, which is operating with the least of the city,
who owns the property one hundred and seventy eight acres
which used to be a plantation back in the day.
They had asked to buy the property so they can
improve it. Wanted to put seven million dollars into it.

(33:05):
Obviously the neighborhood, the neighbors came out, wanted to make
sure that it remained a golf course, and early on
it looked like, you know, they were arguing that they
wanted the city to keep the lease. But then Commissioner
Malowe was talking about how much the property was worth,
and you know he's.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Talking forty fifty million dollars. Well, that's only if you
develop it if you build stuff on it, well that's
not really The people that live around that don't want that.

Speaker 7 (33:26):
No, but they're caught because they don't want they don't
want to get you know, they don't like private sector.
Most of that's the area that's sort of you know,
it's progressive. So it's sort of caught in between a
rock and a hard place somewhere to go here. And
you know, if you look at this Klarna State's that
golf course which was you know, went into bankruptcy and
it sold for like two million dollars. When a piece
of property is designated to be a specific use, it

(33:48):
affects the value. Sure, if you're going to take Capital
City country club property and build affordable housing on it,
it's probably worth forty fifty million dollars. But that's not
what people want and it's not what the city wants
to do with it. And so it turns out that
probably the best thing to do is to sell this
to people if you want it to make a golf
course and you know, have custodians of the land, which

(34:08):
has been that way for now, you know, over what's
seventy years.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Is to sell it to somebody that wants to keep
it a golf course.

Speaker 7 (34:15):
Yeah, and so they worked through looking at possibly buying
it or taking a bat and running as a municipal
golf course. It is going to lose a million dollars
a year at least, and so they already have one
or they have two. Actually yes, talking about leaving it
as an open space.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
We got to maintain it.

Speaker 7 (34:31):
And then what's going to happen in that area of
town on one hundred and seventy eight acres, What could
go wrong there with people walking on trails? You know,
just leave it at that. So the ultimate so the
decision was to go ahead and draw up a contract
and sell it to them. The contract or the purchase
sell agreement tight got to be a golf course forever,
if city has first rights to buy it. If the

(34:52):
club goes bankrupt and they're going to turn over, so
it's again it's and it gets put.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
So by doing that, you've got some constraints. You're going
to just get some property on the tax rolls, tax
rolls forty or fifty.

Speaker 7 (35:04):
Grand a month instead of a dollar our forty to
fifty grand a year instead of a dollar a year.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
They're going to.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Build a commemorative site there for the cemetery that's on
that land.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Fame you is going to be involved with the golf course.
It's it's a win win situation, I think from my perspective.
That's an opinion. And so the vote was three to two.

Speaker 7 (35:25):
Clearly the progressives who are looking for an issue to
divide people and they have, you know, the couple things here, Preston.
One of the things I'm noticing is that nobody again everybody,
there are people that are afraid to go speak like
to support that that vote because they don't want to
get caught up into this left wing rhetoric that shows
up at these meetings. Sure, I mean we talked about racism,

(35:47):
we talked about, you know, being sold to a white
only club.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Commission.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Mattlow stoking the fears of people called it you know
what are we going to have Marl logo two. And
this is what's driving this is what is driving policy
at the city Commission with the minority is.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
That type of thought, and it's children and it's going
on cross issues.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
I mean, it's in the TMAHS issue, which we'll talk
a little about a little bit about next. But that's
that's where they're coming from. And so anyway, this is
the agree. It was voted three to two. Curtis Richardson
Diamee wims Cox, both African American, had to sit there
and listen to the civil rights stuff, and they said, look,
if we're going to hold people responsible for what happened

(36:27):
in the nineteen fifties, we need to look beyond the
country club because it's everywhere.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Well, I mean, I'll go ahead and say this. I've
joked about Goodwood, which is where they hold retreats and
where they go hold meetings all the time. It was
a plantation and I'm betting the I'll bet the farm.
The TMH is sitting on the property that was once
a plantation. And so Curtis Richardson made it the best point.
It's very emotional.

Speaker 7 (36:50):
He grew up west of Jacksonville, you know, at a
time where he couldn't use you know, city pools, city infrastructure,
and he was very clear, he said, look that's our
past and I can move on. And so with that
they voted three to two, and so we'll see, we'll keep.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
An eye on it. So happens moving forward. More to
come with Steve Stewart Tallassi Reports makes a great Christmas gift.
Tallahassee Reports dot com.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Guy, do what you're talking about, what you will be
talking and most importantly, what you should be talking about.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott back with Steve Stewart,
Tellasshi Reports website, tellhase Reports dot Com. This segues nicely
into kind of the latest on Telehassi Memorial Hospital, FSU,

(37:49):
the city. Where is all of that?

Speaker 7 (37:51):
So listen, this is what this segment is about, a
story of how this is getting covered, the TMHFS issue.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
This is a huge issue.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
It's one of the biggest issues I think our communities
faced for economic development situation in years. It should have
been handled ten years ago, and there's another story on
why it hasn't been. But the coverage of this issue
now is gotten down into a fight between FSU and
the city and then TMH and TMH They for a
long time have basically spent a lot of money on

(38:20):
advertising with a lot of the outlets in this community,
not us, but a lot of the other ones. The
Legacy Media one point six million dollars a year in
advertising for the community hospital. Okay, and so this issue again,
if you look around the country. Objectively, the academic medical
center is the way for the community to go. Community
hospitals can't stand alone anymore because of a lot of

(38:42):
different reasons, and it's happening all over the country.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Is this is the way to go now.

Speaker 7 (38:46):
If you want to negotiate and figure out the best
way to move forward, fine, but that's not what is happening.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
What's happening is TEMH is going the emotional route.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
They don't have the facts on their side, and so
they've hired pr experts to try to basically wedged experts.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:01):
Yeah, And so the story that we have up about
the former publisher of The Democrat, Skip Fosters on the
payroll of TMH, and so is Gary Jordan.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
He participated in a town hall.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
And is registered as a lobbyist for the city of
Talle higssee very upfront. Yeah Foster not quite as upfront,
but he is on the payroll for TMH. And they
are pushing this narrative of trying basically and this is
what I don't get. It's one thing to negotiate the
parameters of this agreement, but to start to try to
damage FSU in this it's just not good for the community,

(39:35):
and that's where we're headed. And what has happened is
TMH has found friends in the progressive wing to get
their message across.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
And you saw this.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
In this well for a Price, for a Price, and
what you saw what you saw in this story where
Porter met with the president of FSU and then said
that he was bribing her with basketball tickets.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
That's front that's president. That is front page news.

Speaker 7 (39:57):
When there's not one iota of fact that you can
hang that story on. It's a he said, she said story,
which doesn't really make any a lot of sense if
you think about it.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
But look at the timing. It was published Monday, two
days ahead of a city commission meeting to where then
people can go and talk about it, almost like it's coordinated,
you know, And I just, yeah, I wonder about that.

Speaker 7 (40:16):
So the point of this is, look, every outlet has
a bias and what stories they're going to choose and
how they report it. What we've tried to do is
we don't write things unless we can hang things on facts, right, okay.
And the story that we just wrote about mister Foster
and mister Jordan, there's the document Miss Jordan's a registered
lobbyist for the city. Okay, mister Foster is good to

(40:39):
his website. It's got TMH on there as a client.
That's important for people to know moving forward. And the
connection to mister Foster has with a Democrat, I mean
he hired the editor that is currently there, William Hatfield, right,
and he it's more than just a professional relationship because
he worked for him ten years ago, fifteen years ago

(40:59):
in another newspaper. So the relationship is tight. And so
I think when people when people read Talus Reports are
any news outlet, they read the story, they need to
understand what their mission and their bias might be, and
then they need to let the story stand on its own. Okay,
evaluate the messenger, but then evaluate the story. And if
there's facts, it's tough to blame the messenger when there's

(41:20):
facts in the story. But that's what you've got to
you've got to look at. And so we've been pretty
upfront with what our mission is. We're looking at accountability,
economic growth, and law enforcement public safety, right, and we're
going to write stories that, you know, factual stories that
drive that mission. Everybody's got to be attuned to what
the other missions are and this issue between TMAH and

(41:41):
FSU will be coming to an end here in the
next six months. But I want everybody to understand the
position of the players in this issue.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
We've covered in the news in the last few days
here locally, the comp plan, and we'll talk about that
next with Steve Stewart here in the morning show. That
will get a very bad reputation for being on time,
but we're on time, which means we've got plenty of
time here nowther segment with Steve Stewart of Tallahassee Reports

(42:13):
focusing on things that you are not going to learn
the full story or even any of the story oftentimes
unless you are a subscriber or a frequent reader of
visitor to tellashoreports dot com. The comp plan kind of
explain how the comprehensive plan works for this region. Yeah,
that's you.

Speaker 7 (42:32):
Know, that will glaze you. You know, you will just sort
of eyes will go in the bik your head and
you hear this complaint.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
The big easiest way to say this is this is
sort of a roadmap of how we grow right the county,
the city. Oh, this is the other issue.

Speaker 7 (42:44):
It's a very convoluted processes, so I think the thing is,
it's a map of how we're going to grow, what
areas are going to be available for development. Because there's
this thing called the USA Urban Services.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Area.

Speaker 7 (42:58):
Yeah, and there's a line where we're going to provide
urban services, which is central water and sewer, electric utilities.
And when you draw that line, then developers say, Okay,
this is where it increases the value of property. And
so there's a big debate now. And you know, if
you look, one of the debates going around the country
is the price of housing, which is starting to come
down a little bit, but people talk about providing you know,

(43:20):
these incentives and help for people buying their first home.
From an economic standpoint, if you don't have the product
to sell and you start giving out incentives, it's going
to drive the price up of the product that you're
trying to get people to buy.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Sure, you have to have product.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
And what we're doing now is we're starting to see
cracks in this in this the area of growth. We
saw it on the north side of town where the
USA they decided to withhold the USA on some property
west of Meridian. They allowed some extra USA expansion on
the east side of Meridian, North of Bannerman Road around

(44:00):
Lake Jackson, right.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
And so even though the.

Speaker 7 (44:02):
Argument was, look, if you go ahead and do this,
then you'll have the infrastructure which will save the environment.
You won't have stepic tanks, you won't have Yeah, but anyway,
they did that. Now we're we've got to vote now
a four to three vote, which is always a telling
vote not to expand the USA down in the Southwood area,
which its Saint Augustine Road, which is outside Why that, Yeah,

(44:25):
the what was the reasoning that the reasoning was was
environmental neighborhoods coming out and not wanting development next to
their you know, the land out there, even though they
don't own the land. And so again convoluted process. This
has to go back to the city before and there's
going to be another hearing on this, I think in
thirty days.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
But the vote was for to three.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
That should alarm people because you know the people that
voted for the expansion. Brian Welch, Nick Maddox and Christian
Comband Commissioner. Welch was very clear is that people are
afraid of growth, and you know that's something that this
community has wrestled with, but it is you cannot continue

(45:07):
to spend like we spend on schools, city and county
government and not grow. And we're going to see this
when we start seeing state look at the property taxes here,
look at how much money we're spending with education and
having empty schools, our low capacity schools.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I mean, this is going to be low results. This
is going to come to a head. And the fact
that you're trying to limit the amount of housing in
this area, you're just going to continue to drive the
prices up. And so I think your listeners taking away
from this is that now the Leon County Commission there's
a four to three vote. You were used to the
three two votes on the city.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
This should be alarming and I think that it's going
to wake up a lot of people from an economic
development standpoint of wait a minute, what are we doing here.
We're trying to address an issue the pioal vote here
for in my mind is Commissioner Bill Procter, because one
of the things that he's always been concerned about, and
he had a legit point is there people that are
still on septic tanks within the city limits YEP. Because

(46:07):
of the way annexation and sewers and sidewalks for Bill
right exactly, and so what this the USA actually guarantees
that you're going to get that, and so he was
an interesting vote on that. He did talk about that,
but we'll see if this stands up. And again, this
is people there is there's nobody. I don't think people

(46:27):
showed up to speak for the expansion again because of
this rhetoric.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
They don't.

Speaker 7 (46:32):
People are afraid to stand up and debat an issue
now because of the sort of the narrative that we've
got going on in these meetings.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Well, we've got all elected Democrats, and the reality is
is this is an issue where you can't have it
both ways. You can't be screaming as you point out
affordable housing, affordable housing, affordable housing without a fundamental understanding
that the number of houses available determines the affords ability right.

Speaker 7 (47:01):
And you know, and this goes back to do you
remember the debate that they had about infill because the
progressives were like, oh, we want to build more.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Around the urban core, Yeah, show us where well.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
No, and they started to look at trying to rezone
some of these neighborhoods and they came out, they don't
want it either. And that's when Mayor Daily said, look,
if we're not going to get more concentrated in the
urban core in terms of development that brings, that opens
up a whole can of worms, because you know, public
transportation relies on there being a lot of people in a.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Small eat a hub, right.

Speaker 7 (47:31):
If you're not going to do that, then we need
to start looking at the twenty million dollars we're spending
up public transportation. And so right now there's no leadership
on these issues and the community is just sending mixed
signals about what they want to do.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I would just challenge, if you drive around the community,
where would you infill that. I just don't see the
space to do it. That makes the management that would
make a tangible difference, right, And so the area is
you want to go out and you should do it
responsibly with expanding the USA, so you have these urban services,
but that now is at risk. The inevitable is coming

(48:04):
and I can hear it and I can see the
light at the end of that tunnel. They just don't
want to deal with it. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Preston.
Have a great guest, lessen a great year. I look
forward to next year. Yep. Steve Stewart talasr Reports subscribe.

Today The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Well, we.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Can kind of consider that the first half of the program,
because that's in fact what it was. We're halfway through
the show, so in a way, this is kind of
like halftime before we kind of get to the rest
of the program. But not just any halftime. That's not
a bunch of guys just sitting around going hey oh yeah,
fifteen guys sitting on aunt console and they all get

(49:11):
thirty seconds to talk and that's the halftime show. No, no,
it's just us big stories in the press box. And
I decided that just saying that the FED cut the
interest rate by twenty five basis points, jose I came
to the conclusion that just wasn't good enough halftime show.

(49:37):
What do you get with halftime? You get a little
Pandashiku called it, man, I'm on a roll today.

Speaker 8 (49:57):
We will do the big story in the a press
box with a high coup money now is cheap borrow
more the market size new growth starts today.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
That's it. That's all I got. You're spoiling me, is
it because I'm leaving Friday? No, there's nothing to do
with it at all. I just decided that we needed
a little bit of juice for that story. You know,
it's funny because the interest rate is lowered, which will

(51:00):
show up in your banks and your credit unions, and
you know, your your home financing and your auto financing.
If you if you were an owner of a variable
rate mortgage, adjustable rate and harm, which I hope you're not,
but that's good news for you. Hollow should interstrates be

(51:24):
I don't think they should be too low. I think
we have to be very very careful here. I don't
I don't mind the FED reluctance on rate cuts. I
really don't, but I get it. The Trump administration buying
a fleet of deportation jets. They are spending they have
spent one and forty million to purchase six Boeing seven

(51:46):
thirty sevens for deportations. Now they will have other uses
for them, so says Homeland Security. But it's going to
start with immigration and taking people illegally in this country
and sending them back home. And they just decided it
was more efficient for them to do it this way,
tone their own jets to do these flights. And I'm

(52:08):
down with that one thousand percent. And Democrats have flipped
the mayor's office in Miami. We talked about that yesterday.
That was the big story, one of the big stories yesterday.
Here's to me, the bigger follow up story that a
listener pointed out to me. The winner of the mayor's
race in Miami won with twenty two thousand votes. Let

(52:33):
me say that again. They didn't win by twenty two
thousand votes. They won with twenty two twenty two thousand,
one hundred and forty two votes. That's stunning, absolutely stunning.
Out of one hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred
and ninety two voters, only thirty seven thousand and a

(52:59):
little better than two hundred voters showed up to vote.
That's signaling something. I don't know what that's up to
party leaders in the GOP to figure out, but they
darn well better do it.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Cloudy World, consider him your truth detector. The Morning Show
with Preston Scott on US Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Time for some optimum health naturally, don't you think joining
us Doctor David Heart's good morning friend, How are.

Speaker 9 (53:46):
You good morning, Preston?

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Doing well? You know, there's a lot of creud floating around,
a lot of viral infections and so forth, but not
everything that makes us sick comes from outside of us,
does it.

Speaker 9 (54:00):
That's absolutely true, you know. And you know as you
look at over the years, what we looked at trying
to help do you know, things for people to be
able to get healthy, and we take them from the outside,
how we eat, how different things we do, and even
as we get to the end of the year and
we kind of look at, you know, resolutions of things
we want to do differently to to really improve our

(54:21):
health and maybe make a difference next year. The one
thing we don't think about, and there's tremendous amounts of
research on this is really how we hold in our lives,
bitterness towards other people. You know, this is something that
we found out through research can affect chances of us
getting cancer, actually getting better from cancer once we've we've

(54:42):
gotten it. It affects corner, our heart disease, it affects
numerous affects, our autoimmune disease, it affects every system in
our bodies, and many, many times we just leave this stuff.
And as physicians, you know, we try to affect everything
on the outside, but sometimes we don't even address or
even thinking about telling people about taking a look inside.

(55:03):
And you know, this is something that's really crazy because
you can, you know, expect somebody to get hurt by
holding bitterness towards them, but the only thing is happening
is you're continuing to get hurt. It's like you know,
taking poison the old adage, and then expecting it to
hurt somebody else. And this time of year, you know,
it's such a good idea just to take and take

(55:25):
a couple of minutes and just get alone and decide,
is there something in my life or somebody that is
continuing to cause you bitterness in our life? It's hurting
me and not hurting them. And you know, this is
something that is so so important, you know. You know,
Elson Medela had a quote that was so cool. He

(55:47):
said as he walked out of the door of the
gate that would lead to freedom. He said it was
a jail that he was in for years and years.
He said, I know, if I didn't leave my bitterness
and hate behind, I'd still be in prison. And that's
what we do. So many times. We just keep this
going and going and going, and it's so detrimental to
our health. And you know, this is just a factor

(56:09):
of just our will. It's not a factor of emotion.
When we really feel like we have it's deciding just
to let this stuff go. And I think it should
be part of our you know, our New Year's resolutions
that we do every year, we stop and do things
we want to do different with our lives. And maybe
it's a good idea to stop and think about this

(56:30):
because it really can affect our health. And you know,
there's one that has forgiven the most. And then we
kind of celebrated this time of year, and I want
to wish everybody are really merry Christmas and hope they
have a fantastic New Year for the next year.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Dr Heart twenty six, Doctor Hearts. We know that stress
carries incredible you know, ramifications with our heart, with our
blood pressure. Anxiety does the same thing. This is that
same type of issue here where you're carrying around different
things that have a physical manifestation to them.

Speaker 9 (57:09):
Absolutely, and this stress is deadly and it's one of
the major causes of ongoing stress in our lives, is
this unrelenting unforgiveness for people and in certain issues. And
many times these people are not even alive any longer,
and we're letting them hurt us. And so stress is
a killer, and it's one of the major sources of

(57:31):
that stress is this particular thing, and we just don't
think of it, and physicians may times don't address it.
But through the years, I've had numerous people that would
not get better. They just forstuck no matter what I did.
And somehow another either someone got to that with counseling
or a pastor or even myself mentioned it to them,
and it makes a tremendous difference. So I think it's

(57:51):
important for us to stop every once in a while
and just think about it and see what we can
do to clear these things out of our lives and
start new year quession to.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
You, it's a perfect time of year to do it,
Doctor Hearts. Thanks very much. I appreciate all the visits
through the year, and we'll talk again in twenty twenty six.
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 9 (58:08):
You're Merry Christmas, you too, Thank.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
You, sir. Doctor David arts with us this morning Optimum
Health Naturally. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
A bike with one of 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. Time for a road trip suggestion, final one

(59:05):
of the season. Courtesy of a listener.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Pat rode In said, have to agree with you about
the Christmas lights in Atlanta Botanical Gardens are great, but
I will have to suggest Christmas lights at Rock City
in Chattanooga. My wife and I just went there, went today.
They are way better and the atmosphere was just amazing.

(59:33):
Well now, so they agree that the Atlanta Botanical Gardens
Festival of Lights is spectacular, but this is better, they say. Okay,
so I went online and did some digging. It's pretty sporty,
it's very different, and obviously it's a for you know,
the drive is a couple hours longer. Go to see

(59:57):
as in see rocks dot com and check out the
Enchanted Garden of Lights. It is a thing who knew there.
It's an incredible walk and some might say it's almost
a hike, but boy, it sounds like it would be

(01:00:23):
absolutely worth it. That's gonna be something I'm gonna put
on my list of things to do at some point
with my wife, as we'll have to make that trip sometime.
And Chattanooga has a wonderful aquarium, So I suppose the
thing to do would be to bundle this with going
to the aquarium. Go to the aquarium during the day

(01:00:44):
and then head out there at night and make a
weekend of it, or you know, maybe you know three
four nights stay something like that. Chattanooga is a charming city.
It is. I did some college basketball there ut Chattanooga
the Mox and I just I thought it was a
cool little little town. But Seerockcity dot com. There you go.

(01:01:10):
On the subject of Christmas lights, I am flooding my
web page with content that's Christmas related. I have Christmas
lights up, I have flash mobs that'll be coming up.
I've got one up already. It's kind of a nineteen
forty throwback flash mob Christmas type theme. I will be

(01:01:33):
putting the for King and Country Christmas special on there.
The small Bone brothers, Luke and Joel. It's a magnificent
concert that they did only without an audience. It was
just done on YouTube live and it was just it

(01:01:53):
was beautiful. It was It's really cool. It's a fifty
minute thing that I think you'll really enjoy. I will
be putting up on my blog page. The Man and
the Birds, which is a audio feature that we produced
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott some years ago,
and that will be in my one demand when I

(01:02:15):
leave this seat is that future occupants air at The
Man and the Birds for the last show every year
around Christmas time. They have to do that. It's just
they're gonna have to. I'm going to be like, you know,
the ghost of Christmas Past. Now I'm gonna come back
and haunt them. But I'm putting up probably tomorrow morning,

(01:02:38):
a very different kind of Christmas light thing. It's a stroll.
It's about an hour and a half of a walk
through Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, an entire neighborhood, an entire area.
Everybody's in on it Christmas lights and it's and it's

(01:03:00):
just it's a high daff four K camera just walking
around you just feel like you're just walking along. It's
so cool in a very different way. So that's going
up on the blog page as well, all right, so
make sure to check it out and come visit the
blog page during the Christmas season. You're gonna get some
good content for the whole family. No political stuff, We're

(01:03:23):
not going there during the holiday season. When we come back,
we'll get to the political stuff. Paul Renner, running for governor,
will join us for a few minutes and we'll talk
with him about his campaign and a few things that
he thinks are important. That's next in the morning show
with Preston's got Well. We were supposed to have GP

(01:04:04):
candidate Paul Renner on the show, but he's a no show,
so we will move on. Good morning friends, Welcome, good
to be with you this morning. A few other things
in the news to talk about. No shortage of content.
Cracker Barrel apparently is still missing the mark. Now they

(01:04:27):
are on a massive pr campaign to resuscitate the brand
to the extent that Julie Fells Messino has sat down
with Glenn Beck along with another member of the Cracker

(01:04:49):
Barrel leadership team, and they've done an interview at a
at a at a cracker barrel, a kind of a
no limits kind of interview. And and so what we're
hearing now though, regardless of what happened in that interview,

(01:05:12):
which I watched a good bit of, I haven't watched
all of it, but as like, eh, whatever, Glenn did
his best to try to get some answers, and he
was pretty direct with them. Not only are customers upset
about recipes being changed, they're just not getting things right.
You know, the biscuits are being done in these massive batches.

(01:05:34):
They're not being done the way that they used to
be done. Instead of things being cooked in a giant
croc on a stove, they're being put in an oven
to be kept warm and sometimes being reheated. People are
complaining that, you know, when they want maple syrup on pancakes,

(01:05:57):
they want they want the real thing. They don't want
to water down maple syrup. And and so they just
they're striking out. They're just they're not quite hidden the mark.

(01:06:19):
And and so I'm not sure if they've really understood
the problems. It's like they just they just don't get it.
And and so I'm just I'm I'm you know, I'm
sadden that all of the pushback that they're just missing

(01:06:40):
the point. You know, it's not only people not only
want great customer service, they want that physical touch of
interaction with a human being that because look, you can

(01:07:01):
spend your money in so many places where you decide
to spend it, they need to earn it. The people
there need to make you feel as though they are
so grateful that you're there spending your money with them.

(01:07:26):
And so part one is you've got to make sure
that your front house staff, people in the front get that.
But when it's all said and done, you go to
a restaurant for great food, or at the very least
good food that you find in the case of Cracker Barrel.

(01:07:49):
If there's one word that I think would be used
over and over again, you're looking for comfort food. You're
looking for just a good meal that you can just
sit back and say that was good and I am fulfilled.
And so with all of the noise around the rebranding,

(01:08:12):
it doesn't none of it matters if they don't get
the most fundamental part of it right food. And so
I'm staring at a story here Cracker Barrel diners are
sounding the alarm. Longtime patriots say meals no longer reflect

(01:08:32):
traditional standards as the company reports slower than expected turnaround.
This is that free marketing consulting that we offer, not
just the Republican Party of Florida, not just the RNC nationally,
but businesses. If you have a business that's struggling, start

(01:08:59):
with quality control, people and stuff. Are you getting that right?
If you're cutting corners, Like if the person that answers
your phone is the lowest paid person, you've missed it.
That person is vital to your success, Yeah, pay him better.

(01:09:23):
You gotta get better people. You need to demand more
of them. That's why some people say it's not a receptionist,
it's the it's the director of first impressions. Sounds lofty,
but it's true. All right, eleven pass the hour, Christmas, Christmas,

(01:09:45):
Christmas Joe with Preston Scott. They're gonna get it. I'm
just knock knock, who's nash on w f.

Speaker 8 (01:09:57):
L A.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Really a shame. Paul Renner missed his opportunity to be
on the program here. They called us, they reached out
and they wanted us. I didn't reach out to them.
And that's just a little annoying, but you know, stuff happens.
It's okay. We move on. No hard feelings. Just is
what it is, okay. So we talked about cracker barrel.

(01:10:29):
We talked about the importance of customer service and it
is a deciding factor for a lot of us. I've
got a Best of the Week tomorrow that's going to
revolve around that topic. Interestingly enough, Charlie Kirk's assassin is

(01:10:54):
going to make his first courtroom appearance today. He has
been adamant about controlling every aspect of this through his attorneys.

(01:11:18):
He is insisting that he not be in prison, garb, handcuffed,
et cetera, when he appears in court. He has a point.
He is innocent until proven guilty. This is three months

(01:11:39):
after he was taken into custody that we're going to
We're gonna see him maybe a little less than that.
Erica Kirk had has gone public denouncing a lot of
the conmbpiracy theories rolling around out there. There's a lot

(01:12:11):
of moving parts to this thing. We will not use
the name of the accused shooter haven It won't do it.
Once they caught him, no reason to talk about him.

(01:12:33):
I think Erica Kirk is concerned about the visibility around
the case. Sadly, Erica is learning the way that the
mainstream media turns stories have their day, and they die

(01:12:54):
unless it revolves around Trump. Trump's stories are artificial, kept afloat.
She said, there are cameras all over my husband when
he was murdered. There have been cameras all over my
friends and family mourning. There have been cameras all over me,

(01:13:16):
analyzing my every move, analyzing my every smile, every tear.
We deserve to have the cameras there in the courtroom.
I get it, But the judge has to maintain the

(01:13:41):
integrity of a trial. I know that there are people
out there that believe that he was not shot by
this kid, that he was, that Charlie Kirk was the
victim of a hit. Some believe the Israelis were behind it.
Some believe that a lovaly or microphone and inside is

(01:14:02):
his his T shirt or on his T shirt fired
a shot that killed him. In fact, the guy I've
had on this show, I think his name is Stu Peters.
Stu has a online podcast kind of thing. He has
gone all in on the Israelis murdering him and that

(01:14:27):
you know he slowed it down and he sees the
and I'm just I'm not there. I'm just not But anyway,
seventeen past the hoy, we're gonna come back change gears
here on the Morning Show, all right, shopping help. I've

(01:14:51):
been encouraged to know that many of you are taking
my suggestions to heart and putting them to use. I
love to help people find the perfect gift. I just

(01:15:12):
I would not want to be a professional shopper tasked
with that. But the idea of saying, which I've done.
I've listed now eight different websites for you to go
shop and to know via email that people are taking
these suggestions and going shopping and finding things that they

(01:15:36):
never would have found otherwise. That just makes my heart happy,
even if we're just helping one person, but I know
we're helping far more than that. I mean, I know
that we talked about Kevin's Catalog dot Com seventeen seventy six,
United dot Com. Some of these the titles tell you

(01:15:58):
everything you need to know, but for example, Kevin's Catalog
dot Com, it doesn't tell you everything. Kevin's has so
many different things at all, different kinds of price points,
and the catalog is Huge seventeen seventy six, United Patriotic Gear,
Little Obsessed dot Com, Small Things, Tiny Things, Men'sgear dot

(01:16:19):
Net is not net, Yes dot Net Men's Gear dot
Net For guys, it's a it's a dude's Paradise Signals
dot com literally Everything Kingdomancountry dot co. Faith. It's about

(01:16:41):
faith in Christ and love of country. We shared uncommon
gooods dot com. Had someone send me a note right
after I said it said they went online, they looked,
they couldn't believe what they were seeing. They found a
couple gifts for people that they were shopping for and done.
They were so grateful yesterday for the Outdoorsman camping Gear,

(01:17:05):
Unique Camping Gear, Nemo Equipment dot Com. Now today for
the book lover, and I will grant you. This might
be a bit of a push to get something by Christmas,
but it might not be for the book lover, and

(01:17:26):
we're talking real book nerds. It's called Folio Society dot
com Slash USA. They have two sites. They're based in
the UK. Fo l Iosociety dot com Forward Slash USA.

(01:17:52):
When you go there, you're going to find classics of literature,
even some of pop culture.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
For example, you'll find the Michael Crichton books on Jurassic Park.
Only these are not the books you find on Amazon,
at Barnes and Noble, at Books a Million. These are
illustrated along with the writing. They are bound in a
way that makes them a collector's item. They and they're pricey.

(01:18:29):
If you've got a Marvel comic fan. They have like
entire collections and then they have specific like Iron Man
or Captain America or whatever, and they'll have the comics
bound and it's it's spectacular. You will just I mean,
Jane Austen, you know some of the great books of

(01:18:52):
literature along with like I said, some iconic cultural phenomenons,
and the binding of these books and the presentation and
the illustrations that are customed to these books are just
next level Foliosociety dot Com, Forward Slash USA. So there's

(01:19:15):
your tip for the day. Twenty seven minutes after the hour,
we've got the big stories in the press box coming
up next.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
Some 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 2 (01:19:57):
I am so sorry the Fox News said the guy's name.
I hate that. Come on, man, all right, here we go,
stop the whining and get to the big stories in
the press box. Twenty two thousand and forty two people

(01:20:18):
voted for the Democrat candidate in Miami. Now, I had
someone very cleverly say, you sure they counted all the votes. No,
I'm not sure, but that was the last time a
Democrat won in Miami. They cheated. That's true story ninety

(01:20:41):
seven election. They later kicked the guy out of office
because they found that there was ballot fraud all the
way back. That's Bill Clinton was in office. That's crazy.
But I'm highlighting the number because a listener pointed it

(01:21:03):
out to me and I went and did some digging.
There are one hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred
and ninety two registered voters a total of thirty seven
thousand and some chain showed up to vote. That's it.
If the GOP turns out twenty two one and forty

(01:21:25):
three people, they win. But they couldn't get people out
to vote. I guess I the Republican Party doesn't like

(01:21:46):
me very much because I'm critical of them, and I
know that I I and I'm fine with that. I
have one Christmas card I've received here one and I
used to have a wall full. It's just so funny.

(01:22:12):
People don't like to be held accountable. And this is
to me, this is squarely on the on the lap
of the candidate and the party, the local Republican Party
of the state Republican Party. Everybody threw money at this thing,
but they didn't throw it smartly. They didn't do the
right things. I mean, I've I'm giving classes every day

(01:22:39):
on this show on how to better communicate. It's just
it's it's funny to me, and I'm not worried about it.
It's it's it's just it is an indicator of what's
to come if Republicans don't learn, and they've not shown
any sign of learning. So I'm just saying the arrogance

(01:23:03):
on the right about holding the supreme control of the
House and the Senate super majorities in both just write
it down. Could be trouble if you don't learn. Interest
rates have been cut for the third straight time. No

(01:23:26):
one really knows what's going on in the economy. There are,
for example, gas prices are down lowest gas prices in
Florida for what five years? It's taken about a year,
and and we'll get and that will have that has
a cost, a fixed cost. That lowers the pressure on

(01:23:51):
inflation because everything is shipped. Everything that your local grocery store,
your local big box store, everything is received by truck
by vehicle, and so when the price of gas is dropping,

(01:24:11):
that is a massive help. Do those cost savings get
passed along? Don't know a business that's smart does that.
Maintains its margins but lowers the cost to the consumer
and then yells it, screams, it shouts it, we're lowering

(01:24:33):
our prices. And then the final big story in the
press box Trump administration buying a fleet of jets for
deportation purposes. I love it. Six Boeing seven thirty sevens
strictly to deport Now they're going to find other uses
for them. But they decided it's more efficient to own
our own jets and to do our own flights and

(01:24:56):
not pay for charter services. Yeah. Probably, so forty minutes past,
come back with a SmackDown.

Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
Guy, do what you're talking about. It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. This is a slow learner after the

(01:25:36):
one big Beautiful bill was passed. US District Judge in Deira.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Tulwane, I know we shouldn't judge a book by its
cover or a person by their name, but I would
immediately go oh, I would I just oh boy, almost
immediately blocked a provision to defund Planned Parenthood. Inside her ruling,

(01:26:06):
she wrote that defunding Planned Parenthood quote burdens the exercise
of the Planned Parenthood Federation and its members' First Amendment
rights of association, and is thus subject to strict scrutiny review.
Excuse me, she actually suggested that they are guaranteed our

(01:26:31):
tax dollars to keep aboarding babies. Okay, just put a
pin in this now, because that's constitutional nonsense. And the
First Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously overturned her decision in September,

(01:26:55):
so you would think right lesson learned, Oh hey, my friends,
the left doesn't stop. States then sued over the provision,
and once again, Judge Tailwane ruled in favor of Playing
Parenthood on December second, despite the First Circuit saying unanimously, no,

(01:27:21):
you are wrong. She did it again. Tiwani said the
constitution requires Congress to be clear when imposing requirements related
to federal funding, so state officials can decide whether to
accept what amounts to a restriction on their usual authority.

(01:27:41):
Hold on friends, She has been slapped again the same court,
the First District has ruled. And understand this. The First
Circuit is comprised of Obama and Biden appointed judges. They

(01:28:12):
have slapped her down again. One of the comments from
Dagan Duke, he wrote, when a district judge's injunction is
so far beyond the legal mainstream that even an all
democratic appointed First Circuit panel slaps it down within hours.

(01:28:33):
It's not just getting reversed, it's a flashing red warning
that the judge has abandoned any pretense of neutrality and
is simply legislating from the bench. This is in our
judicial system all over the country. She is legislating. She

(01:28:55):
is an activist jurist and needs to be removed, and
the First Circuit needs to do the removal. She's incompetent
and you know what else she is. I bet my
last dollar she is an appointee due to D I E.
That's right, not d E I d I E. Because

(01:29:18):
in her courtroom, the law, the constitution.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
Dies a little town of Bedler.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Okay, tomorrow is a huge day on the show. It's
Jose's last show of the year. Caught me a little
off guard when he said that to me. I was
a little shaken. When I learned yesterday that he was

(01:29:59):
gonna be it was well, it was funny. He said, uh, yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be gone Monday Tuesday. It was like, okay,
so you're gonna be back Wednesday went Wednesday, he said, yeah,
we got a show on Wednesday. Oh, I didn't know that.

(01:30:22):
Working with Jose is just a treat. It really is.
It's like I'm living in a sitcom. It just it
just is. So his final show will be tomorrow. Cannot
wait for his best and worst of the week, our

(01:30:43):
final what's the beef segment of the year. And we
have right now underway our first in a very long
time ban on a caller. We haven't had one in
a very very very long time. But we've had to
issue a band so who knows who gets through huh,

(01:31:07):
just saying. And also we've got good news headlines from
the Bee Dad joke, a Christmas Dad joke, and of
course we'll have the news of the day and a
lot of stories that I have been kind of holding
on to. We've got some Christmas music to share. I
don't know if I can wait till next week to

(01:31:29):
share a couple things that will roll out on you.
But that's tomorrow on the program Quick Reminder. Tomorrow night
it begins The Living Christmas Story. It's the thirty eighth annual.
If you want to drive through. Klaren Methodist Church puts
it on in the neighborhood of Killarn estates, Yes, Klaren,

(01:31:50):
it's always fun when someone comes to town and they're
going kill learn. Is that kill Learn? No, it's Kilaren
Klarna states the Living Christmas Story. You drive through. It
starts tomorrow night at at six thirty, runs six thirty

(01:32:11):
to eight thirty Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. You just drive it.
Follow the Star. Just get out there, follow the star.
That's what you do. It's free. You'll have a good time.
Dramatic scenes, actors, animals, beautiful sets, so you can check
that out.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Show one on WFLA. All right, sorting through all of
my paperwork here today our verse one, Peter two, verse eleven.
That's where we started the broadcast, and we just simply
asked you, where's your home this holiday? What's home? What
is home? And maybe the challenge to redefine home just

(01:32:58):
a little bit. Paul rennerd GOP candidate, was a no
show called in late, too late for us to put
them back on the air. I kind of have a
hard and fast rule if I've got to move on
to another topic, and I mean, if I know you're
running late and I can kind of improvise, that's fine.
But if it's too late, we just say we'll try

(01:33:20):
again another time. So perhaps something came up, No big deal.
It just it happens. You get a no show now
and then big stories in the press box. President Administration,
Home Land Security bought six Boeing seven thirty sevens. They
are for deportations. I love it, absolutely love it. The
Fed cut interest rate. It's a third straight time. The

(01:33:43):
new range is three and a half to three and
three quarters. That's the new rate. So perhaps that's good
news for any of you with an adjustable rate mortgage.
Perhaps this is good news if you're thinking and you
were hoping rates would come down just a little bit
more to go buy a car or maybe look into
a house. Dams flip Miami's Mayor's office with only twenty two,

(01:34:03):
one hundred and forty two votes. That's all it took.
Twenty two, one hundred and forty two people. Actually, all
it took was fifteen thousand ninety eight, because that's all
the Republicans turned out. Fifteen thousand ninety seven. Talked about
another kidney transplant gone wrong. Donor had had rabies. It

(01:34:29):
killed the man a receiver some mornings. There are also
some mornings for women. They've changed the labeling on hormone
therapy for menopause treatment. If you're in menopause, so see
your doctor ask about it. All right, tomorrow we'll do
it again. My friends, have an awesome day. Enjoy the
beautiful weather.
