Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
John fifteen four says abide in me and I in you.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it
abides in the vine, neither can you unless you.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Abide in me. That'll do.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
By the way, that song is tenth Avenue North. It's
an old song. It's been around for eight years, seven
years something like that. Just to really, I just love
the simplicity of that message of God's love for us,
giving us the confidence, take our hands off the wheel

(00:45):
and surrender control.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Love it, love it, love it. Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's Friday, January ninth, show fifty five twenty. He's ose,
I'm preston. Take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac,
National Day of Filling the Blank. We've got some email
to share, big stories in the press box. I'm gonna
tell you about my I'm gonna tell you about by
Christmas vacation, what I did. We've got we go what's

(01:14):
the beef today? The first what's the Beef of the year?
Get some things off your chest, best and worst of
the week, good news headlines from the bee, even a
dad joke.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
So stick around.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
We got three hours of fun in front of us
here on the morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Sensey of Sensibility, communicator of common Sense amplified. It's The
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm pulling stories and printing them right now as we speak.
I don't think I'll get to them today Friday on
the Morning Show, Shoe, we try our best to just
keep things a little a little elevated, a little lighter.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
You know, we've got the news coming up at the
bottom of the hour and top of the hour, and
we've got the big stories in the press box, and
there's there's certainly plenty of other things to talk about,
but boy, we try our best anyway. Yes, we're printing
as we speak. It is the ninth of January seventeen

(02:29):
seventy six, Thomas Paine publishes Common Sense in Philadelphia. I
have a bobblehead of Thomas Paine holding it shows him
holding his manuscript common Sense.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
It's one of my bobbleheads.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
There.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I have John Hancock and his famously large signature because
he wanted to make sure that King George the Third
saw it. That's why he signed it so big. I
don't know if you know that he signed it so
big because he wanted to make sure that the King
saw who signed it. Let's be any doubt, love it,

(03:13):
absolutely love it. He was just he was spiking the
football every chance he got. Hence the term put your
John Hancock on that document? Did so you remember John
Hancock through history as a a term expressing your signature.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Eh, put your John Hancock there on that there, I
think what else we have? Seventeen eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Twelve years later, Connecticut becomes the fifth state to ratify
the Constitution. Eighteen sixty one. Union Merchant merchant ship Star
of the West. He's fired on in Charleston Harbor as
it attempts to resupply Fort Sumter, marking the first shots
of the Civil War.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
That one of the many reasons why you go to
Fort Sumter is that's where it happened. That's where the
Civil War began in South Carolina. And you look across
the harbor the bay, and you find the general direction

(04:26):
of Battery Wagner Fort Wagner, which is where the Massachusetts
fifty fourth fought that fateful battle captured in the movie Glory,
which is one of the singular greatest movies ever. Matthew Broderick,
Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, just to name but a few.

(04:50):
Let's see Union.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Richard Milhouse Nixon in nineteen thirteen was born in Yorba Belinda, California.
Became President of the United States. What else we got here?
January ninth National Balloon Ascension Day. Now, that's not telling

(05:13):
you to take a balloon filled with helium and let
it go, although you could at the risk of getting
in trouble, because we've decided that that is a bad
thing to do, because balloons where we are end up
like in the coast and in the mouths of sea
animals and dolphins and things.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Like that, and so we try to avoid that.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
But we're talking about the the hot air balloons. I've
never been in one. I can't say I'd do it
as much as I love flying.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Just yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
No.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I used to work for a radio station in Phoenix,
KOY fifty five, Phoenix Ko.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Why we had a hot air balloon. It was a
massive and Captain Ted was his name, and he got
a balloon emblazoned with the Koy logo and we would
give people rides as contest winners. He would do champagne
flights for like engagements and anniversaries and never had an incident.

(06:20):
But it's like, you know, Ted said, you want to
go up. Nope, noop doop dooop doop doop Nope. It
is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Thank you those of
you who put your life on the line dealing with knuckleheads.
Thank you, Thank you for doing it. National Apricot Day.

(06:41):
Is it apricot or apricot apricots? I think it's apricots.
I don't care because I don't eat them, so it
doesn't matter to me how you pronounce it. But it
is that day, and it is National Static Electricity Day.
Probably not something Jose has a lot of worry about

(07:02):
having his hair stand up on end because of static electricity,
but we've all had that. You get the sweater or
something out of the shirt that comes out of the
laundry and you didn't put one of those dryer sheets
in there, and it just sticks to your body and
it's so uncomfortable. Seventeen past the hour, come back with
a note an email from a listener.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
La at wfla fam dot com. On your phone with
the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos and Iheart's radio station.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Finishing up my little munching fit here on some bacon,
got some bores head bacon Nuke did for fifteen seconds
and the thick hut. Not a big fan of the
thin thin that just it. It turns to crunchy too fast.

(08:08):
I like my bacon to have a little little chew
to it, a little bite. Crunchy bacon belongs in a
soup that belongs as an acute man on salad. But
bacon like in a breakfast that that that needs to
have just a little bit of a little bit of

(08:31):
of play, a little little texture, not just crunchy. Looking
at Jose's face as I described that, he's a crunchy
bacon guy. Whatever, cook the flavor all out of it,
that's up to you. Miami beat Ole Miss last night
in the festival. Oh well, here's hoping Indiana beats uh

(08:59):
Oregon and then handles Miami. Miami's playing well, I credit them.
It's one of the better teams money can buys.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I mean that's what it is. Spending money cool that
floats your boat.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
A lot of you are like, never mind, I'll just
stop there speaking of we will be having Michael Alford
on the program. In a couple of weeks, we'll talk
with him about the changes with Florida State football and
what might lie ahead for college football in general. I

(09:40):
think there need to be some pretty dramatic changes, but
we'll see. Email from a listener, Michael writes, in so,
I heard the story about the lady that threw her
wedding ring away, and it reminded me of a story
from when I was twelve. Now, to set this in
total context, we did a story, it was one of

(10:04):
Jose's No Way Jose stories this week, of a woman
in the hospital that accidentally threw away her ring and
the staff went through fifty seventy five bags of trash
and eventually it took someone with an X ray machine,
a portable X ray machine, and they found the ring.
And it's like, sign me up to go to that

(10:24):
hospital if they care that much about a ring. She
was like delirious or something and she just pitched her
ring and it ended up in the trash and they
they found it. So the listener writes, when he was twelve,
I was at the Great Lakes Mall in Michigan and

(10:45):
was with my friends, our parents, dropped us off for
the day. Boy, I remember that when your parents could
just drop you off at the mall and you'd just
be there all day and there would be no danger.
You just hang out, you know, go to stupid store
and go to the fun stores and just eat in
the food court and be a pest.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
We stopped at the food court. See there, you go
get lunch. And at the time, I wore a twin
block retainer to fix my overbite. I took it out,
wrapped it in a napkin, put it on my tray.
You can see what's happening here. Well, I ran into
macho man Randy Savage, talked him into an autograph, and

(11:30):
forgot all about the retainer and threw it away. I
realized it thirty minutes later. I knew my mom was.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Going to kill me.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Long story short, we found it. But let's back up
for here for just a second, and let's just appreciate
the priorities of a twelve year old, massively expensive retainer
autograph of Randy the Macho Man Savage. That is a
no brainer of no brainers.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
When you're.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
So Michael, I absolutely am with you, one hundred percent.
Go get that autograph. It's a great memory. I mean,
I'm an adult and I'm sitting on an FSU football
sideline and I'm hanging out with Goldberg, Bill Goldberg, some
of the WWE wrestling stars at the time. It was
WWF at the time. We're hanging out at FSU football

(12:25):
games because we were like, we were good.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I remember those days. Twenty seven minutes after.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
The hour, come back with the big Stories in the
fresh Box and more here on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Listening to the Mad Radio Network, you are challenged to
make a difference each and every day. Would you do
that for us?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Please?

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Please, just a little just try it, twitch you. This
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. What's the beef
comes up in just.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
A little bit thirty five past the hour, Good morning,
Welcome to Friday, Yes Friday already week is rolling by,
My goodness, gracious here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Big Stories in the press Box. So just how many
times have Ice been dealing with people trying to run
them over? How many times do you think it's happened
in the last year? A little under fifty absolute verified

(13:33):
efforts to hit ICE agents with a vehicle. I want
to say a large number, but I'm going to go
with about fifty over one hundred. Oh, Well, everyone's you know, protesting,
rioting at McDonald's in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Put a thing up saying ice is not welcome here.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is a private business, and McDonald said, you will
take that down, and so the franchise owner took the
thing down. Well, you've got one of the founders of
the Lincoln Project Tallahassee, and Rick Wilson. I guess is
his name. Who's just a flaming jerk. I mean, he's

(14:16):
a reprehensible human being. As they're trying to paint this
woman as a victim of a callous murder. Her partner,
you know, her wife, her girlfriend, because she when her
husband died, she became a lesbian. She's saying her death

(14:40):
is my fault. Anybody paying attention to that, that she
got involved in all this crap because of her equally
LGBTQ ridiculous partner. Anyway, one hundred, I'm just saying one hundred.
Portland's in on it, Minneapolis is in on it. There

(15:02):
was supposed to be some kind of little protests last
night in Tallahassee. Oh, grow up people. You know, maybe
if Tim Wallas had gone ahead and gotten the National
Guard involved with illegal immigration to begin with, although I'm
not sure he's really helping with the immigration issue. We

(15:26):
have states, we have cities like Minneapolis that are catering
to this, and they're ruining their states and they're ruining
their communities. Illegals do not have a right to be
in this country. It's just that simple. And if you
believe that they do, open up your house or shut up,

(15:46):
invite them into your home to live with you, to
sleep among your children. All these illegals that you have
a bleeding heart for, or shut up go away.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
They don't do that.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Judge is letting a lawsuit proceed against the CDC and
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
It is a lawsuit.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
With plaintiffs who are doctors tied to the pharmaceutical vaccine industry.
They don't like the fact that the CDC is not
recommending COVID vaccines to healthy children and pregnant women. The
wealth of data and peer reviewed studies demonstrate the safety

(16:37):
and efficacy of No, it doesn't, it does not. I'm
not going to let people get away with trying to
reframe the history of this. We were told it stopped
the spread of the virus.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
It can't.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
No vaccine has ever been developed that can do it. Ever,
it is a treatment, oh, by the way, one that
we are seeing and proving stops up arteries. Among other things.

(17:17):
I have email from listeners who lost a direct relative
within days and weeks of getting the JAB that were
perfectly healthy prior. And while we're on the subject of medicine,
Utah is now permitting AI drug prescriptions, bots prescribing medicine.

(17:42):
No way, nope, nope.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
No.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Artificial intelligence are like cats. They're trying to plot away
to kill you, telling you.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Forty minutes past. Oh, come on, I'm just sort of kidding.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Morning Joe with Preston Scott's What will You Do with Freedom?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
On Used Radio one hundred point.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Seven w UFLA.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Helps have the microphone turned on.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
We have.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
We've got a lot to do before what's the Beef?
But then after what's the beef, We've got the best
and worst of the week.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
We've got all.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Kinds of things still to come. Good news headlines from
the Bee, the trade deficit. You might remember that the
President of the United States said, we are totally out
of control with trade imbalance. We are in part importing

(19:05):
far more than people are buying from US, and that's
got to stop. We got to have some fairness here,
trade barriers, imbalances, and tariff rates, et cetera. Now, a
lot of people don't like what he's doing. I would
maintain that it hasn't added a lot to the price

(19:29):
of anything yet.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Has it.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Has it impacted some prices, probably, But I've said, for
as long as I can remember, if bringing things into
a better economic place for America, for example, if we can,
if we need to pay more for ahead of lettuce

(19:55):
grown in America, to pay Americans to keep that product
here in this country, I'm good with that. I'm good
paying more for goods produced in America, I really am.
Just let me know that they are made in America,

(20:16):
produced grown in America, built in America, with American parts
or parts not from China. I'm good paying more. I
may not be the only I may be the only
one that feels that way. I don't know, but I
would hope you remember what happened during COVID. We had

(20:36):
food insecurity, we had medicine insecurity. There's China is playing
a game of chicken, and it cannot win because it
is not a consumption economy and they don't have the
population in in the pipeline to support its economy. That

(21:02):
whole one child thing backfired huge now here. Americans aren't
worthing enough kids. We're not getting enough Americans married and
having children. But that's a topic for another day. The
trade deficit is the lowest since two thousand and nine.

(21:25):
It's the lowest since the first year of Barack Obama's term.
That's significant. Now there still is an imbalance, but the

(21:46):
number was driven by a sharp pullback in imports. We're
not importing nearly as much. There's a drop in purchases
of industrial supplies and materials. I can only hope that
means we're producing more of that stuff domestically. Exports increase

(22:06):
by just over two and a half percent. So add
it all up and it's a win. We're doing better
results that are measurable metrics that you can do with
a calculator. Always a good thing. All Right, We're gonna
come back. I've got an event coming up tomorrow where
you can support FCA Outdoors. If you're interested. And I'm

(22:29):
doing this in the early morning because early morning people
tend to be hunters. So all of you that are hunters,
Jose's over there going, yeah, that's my that's my game
right there. Come on, that's what that's how I roll.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm a hunter.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, coming up next, we'll tell you about that opportunity
and uh more here in the Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Runing drive version of an audio magazine and keeping you
company as you prepare for your day.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, hunters,
tomorrow's the day. I'm guessing it's not too late to
be part of this. Get some buddies together, or use

(23:22):
your business and sponsor it. FCA Outdoors I didn't know
until in the fall, when I knew this event was coming,
that there was an FCA Outdoors division geared to young
people that love being you know, out hunting, fishing, et cetera.

(23:47):
And so this is a fundraiser for FCA Outdoors. It's
the fourth annual Pheasant Tower Shoot. It's a dogwood hunting preserve,
and it's twelve hundred bucks per bail. And those are
those big round bails that you kind of park yourself

(24:07):
behind and you can put four to six hunters behind that.
So if you're going in with your buddies, that's three
hundred bucks apiece for four of you. If you go six,
it's two hundred bucks apiece, and the money's going to
a great cause. FCA Outdoors. Now, one thing they can
do better is make it easier for you to register.
So I've done that for you. Here's what you do,

(24:29):
fcaoutdoors dot org. Go to the event's tab and then
click the event calendar and you're gonna see tomorrow's event.
You click that and it gives you the details to
sign up and register. All right, fcaoutdoors dot org. The
event's tab and then the event's calendar and then look

(24:52):
for the event tomorrow on January tenth. So uh yeah, sweet,
you're gonna go do something you ever shot pheasant, I
go after a bigger game. Yeah, I'm sure you do.
Jose is feeling very very proud of his hunting exploits

(25:14):
in Virginia. It was always about virgin Yah. So yeah,
there you go if you are a hunter. Some GOP
senators joined Democrats to oppose Trump and his efforts in Venezuela.

(25:36):
I love Rand Paul Ran Paul is usually wrong on
matters of foreign intervention. I'm not a hawk, I'm not
Lindsey Graham. I don't think you go to war with everybody.
But there's a time and a place, and this was
not war. This was a police action that needed military
support and expertise. We're we're not constantly, we're not there.

(25:58):
We don't we're not boots on the ground bombing the place.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
We're not no.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Anyway, Ran Paul. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Todd Young of Indiana,
and Josh Holly sided with the Democrats on this. Now
they don't have the sixty votes. It's got to get
through sixty before it becomes official. But it's about it.

(26:25):
It was led by Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia.
And the idea is they they believe that not so
much that this is that they have a problem with
what he did in Venezuela, but they're they're they're concerned
about what he will do. If you listen to the
Republican centers, they're saying, look, we got the briefing, we

(26:46):
understand what happened with Maduro. We want to make sure
that we don't go any further without congre Well, you
you can't go further unless you declare war, and war
requires a congressional.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's not what this is. And oh, by the way,
did they get congressional authority to kill ben Laden?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Did they get congressional authority when they went to Libya
and got Kaddafi? Gaddafi wasn't killed by the US. He
was killed as a result of the US actions in
in Libya. What about when Biden took out Uh, you
know some of the leadership in Iran? Did they get
congressional You see my point?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Whatever? All right, we've got We're gonna, we're.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Gonna, We're gonna take a few minutes in the next
half hour and I'm gonna I'm gonna take a little
time to share what I did in my my Christmas break.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
And uh, I think you'll get a I think you'll
find it interesting at least I hope you do.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
It's not well, all right, second hour, Friday edition of

(28:08):
The Morning Show with Preston's Sky Morning Friends. I thought
I'd take some time here on Friday and share a
little bit about my break.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
A lot of people curious what we do when we're
taking time away. Well, this year.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
We had kind of a progressive Christmas where you know,
we've got kids, and you know, one of our sons
and his wife live in South Florida, and so they
came up early in December and we celebrated Christmas with
them because they had to work right around Christmas and
couldn't make the drive up. And then another part of
our family we celebrated on the twenty third, our daughter

(28:50):
with three grand babies, and then on the twenty fourth
another set, and then on the twenty fifth. It's you
get the idea. That's how it is when your kids
are adults. You take them when you get them. You
just whenever they can come, you take them, and you're
grateful for any time with them. But I arranged to

(29:13):
go on a trip with my wife the day after Christmas,
So we got up at two in the morning on
the twenty sixth. That was no small feat because we
had to fly out of Tallahassee at five point thirty
in the morning, caught a flight to Miami and then
Miami to the Bahamas Nassau. Now the idea was originally

(29:38):
we were going to go to Ezuma and do the
swimming pigs thing. The problem was the Sandals resort that
I booked. In the months subsequent to the booking sold
to a sister company, Beaches Resorts. The difference is Sandals

(30:01):
is about adults. It's for adults, no kids are allowed.
Beaches is all about families, no offense. But we've raised
our kids, we love our grandchildren. But going on a
vacation where you don't have to worry about teenagers or
kids running the halls of the hotel or I mean,

(30:22):
it's just it's wonderful. But we were thrown a curveball.
So the Exuma Resort is no longer an option. So
they recommended the Royal Behaman in Nassau. Looked it over,
checked out the room options, okay, and they offered a

(30:44):
trip that involved swimming pigs like okay, So even though
we had a bit of a change of venue, I
thought we were still going to check that box.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
If you do not know, my wife.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Was raised in Ohio, is the daughter of a farmer,
and was a farmer along with her siblings for years.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
That's what you do.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
You get up in the morning, you do your chores
on the farm, and you go to school and your activities,
and then you come back and get right back at it.
I mean, that's life, that's what it is. And at
one point her dad, I think, farmed fifteen hundred acres
and at one time they were pig farmers. She showed

(31:40):
pigs in the fairs, and that's a generational thing that's
gone on now for years now. Nieces and nephews are
showing pigs, and I mean, it's really cool to be
up there and watch that happen.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
But my wife loves pigs.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
And when she saw that there were swimming pigs in
a zoom of years ago go, she just giggled and laughed,
and it was like I made a note, We're gonna
do this one day, and so I'm thinking, big time
box check here.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
All right, we're gonna We're gonna do this.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
But I was kind of foiled when we had the
change of venue and had to go to the Sandals
resort in the Bahamas. But there was a trip to
see swimming pigs. Hmmm, So what happened. We'll tell you
about that that trip and what did happen next as

(32:35):
I share our Christmas vacation with you here on the
Morning show.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Guy, do what you're talking about? What you will be
talking and most importantly what you should be talking about.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Sharing a little bit about my Christmas vacation with my
lovely suite incredible wife. And we arrive Friday, day after
Christmas in the morning, about a fifteen minute ride from
the airport to the resort.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
It is.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Always interesting when you see the pictures of what the
room's supposed to be and you're hopeful. So we are
taken up to our room and the concierge that I mean,
it's next level treatment. If you've never done the Sandals

(33:47):
thing or know about it. It is an all inclusive
You pay for your trip and everything's in there. And
for those of you that think, oh, they just pressure
you for tips, no they do not. It is forbidden gratuities.
Everything is part of the deal. You eat where whenever
you like. There's some restaurants on the property. There are

(34:07):
twelve restaurants on the property, every imaginable type of food,
and there's twenty four our room service.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
You can have any meal delivered. And boy, what a room.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
We were on the third level, overlooking the beach and
overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and it was just spectacular, just spectacular.
So we went to sleep door open here in the ocean,
No worries, no, never heard a neighbor. The entire time
we were there. There were people in the rooms on

(34:42):
either side of it. Never heard them, never heard anybody
in a hallway making rucus. It was marvelous. Next morning
we get up and our first little excursion off the
property was a doll dolphin encounter at Blue Lagoon Island,

(35:04):
and it was absolutely spectacular. You're thinking, okay, because you
know we did this thing where you we've done this
thing in Panama City Beach, Panama City or whatever marine
land there where you get in the tank with a dolphin.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
And it was fine.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
It was fifteen twenty minutes and you're out. You're in
a wet suit. This no, no hour and a half
in these lagoons that are open swimming lagoons, and they've
got dolphins in all different kinds of areas, and we
had three different dolphins we interacted with. I got towed

(35:45):
by two dolphins holding their dorsal fins. I got pushed
on a board by two dolphins by one dolphin. I
got spun around, I got kissed on the cheek, I
got kissed on the mouth.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
I got, I mean, I got hugged, I got. I
mean it was I got spit on.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
I mean, it was just the best pictures of it all.
The only downer was we couldn't bring our own I
don't have a GoPro. I've got what's called an action
for it's a different kind of go pro waterproof. I
couldn't bring that in with me. They're selling you photos.
I get it, and they also want to make sure
that these things don't end up in the mouth of

(36:23):
their dolphins. That's fine, but it was incredible. It was
just an incredible encounter. And along the way you saw
some sights and so forth. And that was our first
full day. Second day the pigs, it was a bummer.

(36:44):
Now the tour guide and the tour was incredible. We're
on a powerboat. We're with about sixteen other people. We
do some snorkeling. Along the way. We saw the original
Gilligan's Island, the one that's on the the intro, the
video intro. They filmed the first seven or eight episodes
at this particular island in the Bahamas, and they show

(37:06):
it to you right there, your your cruise right in
front of it, and then you go do some snorkeling,
and then you go to Rose Island, and what it
was was pigs that are kept in pens and they
have little cabins there that some of the staff sort
of spend time on when they rotate. And it was
a very contrived thing.

Speaker 6 (37:24):
It was.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I mean, okay, we had an encounterment pig. It was
not what I wanted it to be.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Now, the tour that we were on, the excursion, the snorkeling,
the guide, the staff on the boat, because there were
two mates with the captain, they were incredible, they were
the best. So we had a great time that day.
It just wasn't quite what I wanted it to be.

(37:53):
So I said to my wife, we have not checked
that box. She's going, oh, no, no, no, because she
knows me. She said, yes, we have. We've got a story.
It was a little contrived, but there were pigs. They
were sweet, and we do have video and you do
feed the pigs, and you know, there's a but it's
very it's very prepared. Had an amazing lunch down the island. Further,

(38:20):
they have a little area that is a private area
for lunch and our order was put in, you know,
ahead of time, and so they had it prepared and
it was great.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Great, great lunch, but it wasn't quite now. The snorkeling
was incredible. The water.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
I got some great underwater footage with my camera. The
water was a little rough, but it was as clear
as can be. And I've been told by people that
live in the Bahamas that we've talked to Azuma, the
water in and around at Zuma is incredible. It's even better.

(39:02):
So I think I got to see that firsthand. And
so we're not done with our quest with the swimming pigs.
I'll just simply put it that way. But there's more
to share. Seventeen past the hour, it's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
U FLA on your phone with the iHeart Radio app
and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox
and Sonos and Iheart's Radio season.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
It's got a text from my buddy Rob Strano, golf
instructor Coach Extraordinaire Strano Golf Academy in Niceville. Yeah, if
you're looking for a great golf teacher, head there, he said.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
He said.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
The big story in the press box is that Preston's
got flying on an airplane.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, no kidding.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
And we didn't go first class because what's the point
of spending three times more for a flight that's a
half hour or forty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean it just I can suffer for that long.
And it was fine, It was It was fine, not a.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Not a big deal. But let's for just a second, okay.
So our first day without an excursion, we checked out
the private island. There's a private island right across from
where we are. They own half of it, Sandals, and
they've got a restaurant on that island, and so you
take a little boat over there and you can come

(40:42):
and go and snorkeling, and they're just if you've not done.
And let me, let me get this up front. I'm
not being paid.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
I don't work for Sandals. I'd love for them to
be a client, because we've been to a Sandals resort
twice and it's been spectacular both times. And that's just
I'm more that than I am a cruise ship. I've
done cruises years ago. But the idea being sequestered with

(41:13):
three to six thousand people on it now, no, no, no, no, no,
And I don't necessarily want to eat with a bunch
of people and have community tables and all that. I
want to sit with my wife and enjoy time with her.
But the room, the staffing. You know, I talk about

(41:36):
Chick fil a cottage industry on the side teaching people
about customer service. Sandals can do the same. Here's what
amazed me about sandals. First of all, zero you don't
even think about tipping. They will be angry at you.
When they say concierge, they mean it. You need anything,
you let them know. TV in our room went bad,

(42:00):
a new TV. They brought a new TV up, swapped
it out. But here's what really impressed me. First of all,
the restaurants were just lovely. Everything from Italian to French,
to Japanese steakhouse, to sushi to American steakhouse, seafood. Of course,

(42:27):
little little trucks they had, whether you could get a
little island fare or crapes.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
I mean, it was just it was. It was wonderful.
But here's what impressed me the most. It's spotless.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
People are working constantly and I didn't see one attitude.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
There was.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
If you had a question and you asked someone that
had nothing to do with the answer. They didn't one
time say yeah, go over there. They would say here,
let me show you, and they would stop what they're
doing and walk you to wherever the answer was, wherever
the place was, whatever it is you were looking for,

(43:18):
they walked you there, is there anything else I can do?

Speaker 4 (43:24):
It was just.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
It was so effortlessly delightful.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
And that has been our experience at both of the
We went to one in Saint Lucia and now we've
been one in the Bahamas. Will we do one again someday?
Perhaps we will. I wouldn't hesitate, that's for sure. But
it was just it was a wonderful trip. We were

(43:55):
so blessed to be able to do it and to
just get away and enjoy our anniversary together. And now
I'm the type of person that I want time after
a vacation. I don't want to go from vacation back
to work. So we came back intentionally before New Year's Eve.

(44:17):
We didn't want to be there for New Year's Eve.
That's just it's not our scene. We've never been partiers
or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
That's just not what we do.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
But we got home and enjoyed another five days to
just before we came back to work energized and ready
to go. And so it was just a joy and
a blessing and love spending time like that with my
wife where we just we both had two and a

(44:48):
half weeks off and it was just lovely and so
we were so fortunate and blessed to be able to
do it. But if you have any questions about, you know,
a trip like that, going to Sandals, whatever, just shoot
me know Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. I'll tell you
what I can, but I can I can tell you
upfront that the all inclusive thing is definitely it's it's

(45:12):
it's it's worth doing if you've never done it to
experience that. All Right, we're gonna come back. We got
the big stories in the press box. No, it's not
that I went on an airplane because I hate flying
unless I'm flying.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah, big stories and more.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Next you Mayor of Realville dispensing information at the speed
of sound, and if you're lucky, he'll be wearing his
Clark Kent glasses. Today in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Thirty six almost thirty seven minutes passed around A little long. There,
big stories in the press box. Utah is the first
state in the nation. Excuse me allowing AI drug prescriptions now,
thank you, they say, It'll say patients money and time,
especially in rural areas where physicians are few and far between.

(46:24):
Critics say, now, you cannot allow a process where there
is not some human oversight and that can threaten patient's safety.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
And plus, okay, so what if the AI gets it wrong?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Who are you suing? Who's accountable? I'm sorry, I am
not at all good with this. I understand there's a
place for artificial intelligence in medicine, but in my mind,
it would be suggesting that you look at this and

(47:04):
then humans do the testing. But anyway, speaking of medicine,
judges letting a lawsuit against RFK, Junior and CDC proceed.
Federal judge rejected a bid by the Trump administration have
it thrown out.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
The ruling was in favor of the American Academy of
Pediatrics and other plaintiffs, all of them tied to vaccine manufacturers.
Isn't that interesting? Vaccine manufacturers want to keep the advisement
that giving kids that are healthy and pregnant mothers sorry,

(47:46):
would be mothers, women who are pregnant that it's okay
to give them the JAB the COVID nineteen vaccine. First
of all, why are we giving anybody a COVID nineteen vaccine.
COVID nineteen is involved into something else. And oh, by

(48:07):
the way, it still can't stop it. This is so
infuriating to me. So they're gonna have their day in
court whatever, But it's all people that have a vested interest,
literally a vested interest. Doctors get paid bonuses for vaccines.

(48:29):
Until that changes, the entire thing is dubious. Doctors get
a bonus for you getting a JAB. Of course they're
gonna recommend it. It's so wrong on so many levels.
And maybe some doctors aren't taking the bonuses and are

(48:51):
not involved in that. It's just until that ends completely,
it's just wrong. And then this little factory in light
of what happened in Minnesota. You know, anytimes ICE agents
have been attacked with cars in the last year, over
one hundred times. Just say, all of you purple haired protesters,

(49:24):
if you oppose the crackdown on illegal immigration, I will
repeat what I said last hour. If you oppose this,
open up your home and your apartment and make sure
it's full of illegals, or shut up, go away until

(49:46):
you put your actions where your mouth is. I don't
want to hear from you. I don't want to hear
from one single lawmaker unless their home is opened up
to illegal immigrants.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
This is the rub of.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Socialism, communism, Marxism, illiberalism. They don't want to do to
themselves what they're demanding of all of us. And so
the best, the best counter to it is to just
turn it on its head and say, okay, you first,

(50:26):
forty one minutes past them, we'll talk about Ahmed al
Ahmed next.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
World.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Consider him your truth detector. The Morning Show with Preston
Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven w UFLA.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Ahmed al Ahmed. He's the hero in BONDI earlier the Beach.
He's in America because his injuries have caused him to
seek a second opinion on repairing his arm. You may

(51:18):
recall he ambushed one of the shooters, caught him by
surprise and disarmed him. Sadly, he didn't shoot the guy.
I say sadly because he was in a tough spot.

(51:38):
You disarm a guy who's retreating and you shoot him.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
That's murder.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Now the second he picks up another gun and starts shooting,
you can shoot him, but can you in Australia.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
See, there were.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Multiple people that had unbelievable angles to stop the shooting,
had that been armed and willing, But in Australia you
can't do that.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I just wanted to share his comments.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I spilled my blood for Australia and for humanity, for
all innocent human beings, and I would do it anywhere
in the world.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
He was the guest.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Of honor at a Jewish fundraising event. Syrian born shopkeeper.
He came out from behind a park car to limit
the damage somewhat. He was able to disarm the guy,

(52:41):
he said. As he was asked if he would be
meeting with Donald Trump's he said, I wish he's a
hero of course of the world. I love him. He's
a strong man. There you go, there you go, Ahmed Ahmed. Yeah,
it's funny because Australia's out there saying Australia is a

(53:02):
better place because him. Well, Australia is a better place
because you have someone with courage, and you probably have
a bunch of people with courage, but they're following the law,
and you have stupid laws, you have dumb laws. I
want you to take note of what stopped the shooting

(53:26):
people with guns, just saying that's the low hanging fruit
in that story. We've we've got What's the Beef coming up?
And I've unfortunately stumbled upon another show I can't watch
that I used to watch every now and then, not
a lot. But the host of the show is proven

(53:48):
himself to be Yeah, we'll share his rhetoric next and
why I won't be watching it anymore. You do what
you want with it. But that's coming up next. What's
the Beef Friday coming up in just a few think
about your beefs and get ready to call.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
It's the first time this year.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
A bike with one of those bells and a radio
just like the seventies. I yeah, I traveled with a
radio taped to my bike. This is the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
You know, I don't know where you draw the line.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
As has been pointed out by a whole lot of people,
if you stop doing business, if you stop interacting with
everything that offends you, got nothing left.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
A lot of major companies are invested in things we
don't like.

Speaker 7 (54:48):
For me.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
They're just certain things that I just say, yeah, No,
It's like I'm to a certain I'm a little ashamed
of the fact that I I will not miss a
Green Bay Packer football game if I can help it.
I didn't hate their part of the NFL because I

(55:12):
can't stand the NFL. Cannot stand the NFL. But I
love the game of football and I love the Green
Bay Packers and it's a big deal to my family
for reasons I won't go into here, And so I
accept that there are people that say, ah, you're just
you know, you're wishy washy. Yeah, that'd be fair on

(55:36):
the Packers. I accept that. Yeah, now if the Packers
crossed lines on certain things, and I'd say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
But back to the issue. Here a show I will
not watch anymore that I used to watch on occasion,
I will not watch Jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
You ever watch Jeopardy?

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Yeah, classic?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Since Ken Jennings took over, No, don't know who that is.
Ken Jennings was like the I think he still is
the all time winning Jeopardy player, And when Alex Trebek
got sick, they started bringing in guest hosts. He was
one of the two, and then he became the permanent
host in twenty twenty three. Now that's interesting in and

(56:24):
of itself that a guy with a modest speech impediment
is the host of a television show, but we'll set
that aside.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
He's good at it, because he's good at he's smart.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
But he let me read the quote, the prosecute the
former regime at every level. Candidate has my vote. In
twenty twenty eight. He hates Trump. He hates everything about him.
He wrote on Blue Sky, which tells you all you

(56:58):
need to know. He's on Blue Sky always. America is
always like okay, but the next regime change will work,
like when I cut out carbs briefly every every January.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
He has long hated Trump, but he's now made it
abundantly clear that he is.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
He's one of those low information people, which is so
remarkably ironic given his knowledge base and how smart he is.
It just shows you that smart people can be dumb.
It's very possible for being to be very intelligent and
to not have a clue. So he's jumping on board

(57:44):
the absurdities reacting to the shooting in Minneapolis. But for me,
I don't need to support Jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
I don't need.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
I don't need when I turned my TV to it
for the cable network to log me as a viewer
and to boost their ratings. Nope, will not ever watch
Jeopardy again, not until he's gone. And I don't expect
him to leave for a couple of you know, fifteen

(58:15):
twenty years. But yeah, I have no interest. And it's
you know, will it make a difference. I don't know,
And you know, am I telling you to do the
same only if you want to. I'm just making you aware.
It's it's fine. If you personally don't like somebody, that's fine.

(58:40):
It's like people know that I don't care for the
politics of Joe Biden and Barack Obama and in liberalism.
They still listen or they don't.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
It's up to you.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
This is up to you.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
I will not participate in watching Jeopardy and so to
the advertise it you won't get me. I'll see you
in other places. I'm quite sure it's wants to be Friday.
The phone lines are open. Who wants the distinction? Because
I'm rolling tape? Who wants the distinction of being the

(59:18):
first beef caller? Of twenty twenty six. I can tell
you one person it's not going to be but who
wants to be the first caller? Who wants to be
perhaps in the best of show for the first edition

(59:38):
of What's the Beef Friday in twenty twenty six. Your
calls are next eight five zero two zero five to
b FLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three
fifty two phone lines are busy, so hang in there.

(01:00:15):
It's what's the bee Friday, first set of calls for
the year. So whatever has been building up over these
last three weeks of us being away, you let it
out right now. Just remember two rules. Don't make it personal.
Do you have a bad experience at a business, tell
us what happened. Leave the name of the business out
of it. If anyone's going to jam on a business,

(01:00:38):
let it be us. We are professionals, you know. You
see those things that say, hey, don't try this stunt
at home. Okay, same type of thing. Second rule, no profanity.
We don't like it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
So with that in mind, and of course make it
a bee not a monologue, we go to the phone
lines eight five zero two zero five w FLA. Michael
has been waiting the longest.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Michael, you are on the air. What's the beef?

Speaker 8 (01:01:12):
Good morning, Preston. I'm glad you're back.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:01:15):
My beef is these lib tard loops protests and iyes
getting stand in the way of a vehicle. I'm sorry.
When I was growing up, my parents says, don't step
out from dagon I'm moving vehicle.

Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
Yea.

Speaker 8 (01:01:28):
And one I want to know is you see them
all blockading roads in Portland and all these protesters in Minnesota.
These people don't have jobs. How are they living? I
want to know who's funding now, That's what they need
to look at.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
And then that well, our friends over at the Government
Accountability Institute, Peter Schweitzer, Seamus Brunner and others are have
been studying that and it's called riot inc. And they
have they have shown the network of people like George
Soros and others who are funding this. Now it's up
to Congress to deal with it.

Speaker 8 (01:02:02):
Well, with the President or Congress, somebody would say, you
folks are a terrorist organization, yep, and label them so
and and then seize all their assets. All right, I'm
glad you're back.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
I appreciate it. Michael appreciate the phone call that frees
up a line. Eight five zero two zero five to
b f l A. Genevieve, good morning and welcome to
the program.

Speaker 9 (01:02:25):
Good morning President.

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
I don't have.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Too many bad things to say, but I just wanted.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
To get a shout out to TPD.

Speaker 10 (01:02:35):
Unfortunately, my brother was killed this past weekend and I'm
so sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:02:40):
They did an amazing job with me and I know
they get a bad wrap, so I just wanted to
say they did. They did a great job.

Speaker 7 (01:02:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
I appreciate it. And again, Genevieve, I'm so sorry for
your loss. Yeah, but you know we we've we made
an exception to the rule here by getting you on
the air. It is what's the beef? Friday, eight five
zero two zero five, w f l A. John Euroup,
what's the beef?

Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Hey, good morning pressing, Welcome back, Glad you're back. But anyway,
my beef, my beef is with people who are are
turning somersaults over this young woman that was shot in
Minnesota and it happened because.

Speaker 11 (01:03:25):
Of her action.

Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
I hate that, I hate that it did happen, but
her actions cost it. But silence with Ashley Babbitt, silence
about silence about Ashley Babbitt, not a word, and our
national leadership needs to pay attention and start taking proactive
steps on a lot of it and start shutting this down,
because look, y'all, we are on the preference and you

(01:03:49):
had the survey earlier about the Civil war war where
we're at and back then I said it was an eight.
Now I'm gonna tell you it's a nine. But anyway,
have a good week.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Thank you very much. John, good to hear from you.
It's what's to be Friday. Pedro is up next.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
What about you?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
We've got one line open eight five zero two lines
open eight five zero two zero five w FLA eight
five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. Whatever
you want to complain about Pedro, then, Nathan, what about
you call us? Get it off your chest. We're here,

(01:04:23):
It will it will help, trust me, and kind of
a basic rule of thumb. For every one person who's
beefing about a given topic, there's ten to one hundred
people that are.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
Feeling the same way, and you'll help them too. More
of your calls.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Next show at Preston Scott they're gonna get a I'm
just which knock knock?

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Who's Nash On w FLA.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Eleven minutes after the hour, It's What's to be Friday
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Nathan dropped.
We have two callers waiting and pedro on right now.
Good morning, sir, welcome, what's the beef?

Speaker 7 (01:05:15):
Good morning, and happy New Year, hoppy belated.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
Yes sir, you as well, thank you?

Speaker 6 (01:05:21):
Uh yeah, I hate that we have.

Speaker 7 (01:05:23):
To always, you know, us conservatives always have.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
To be on the.

Speaker 7 (01:05:28):
On the defensive move of the you know, the news.
Now it's this lady that just decided to jump in
or not jump, but try to run over a law
enforcement agent.

Speaker 4 (01:05:39):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (01:05:39):
And now, of course this is their new George Floyd
two point zero, except because she wasn't raped or killed
by an illegal, she now happens to be there, you know,
the little Jesus right now. But yeah, it's crazy. I
can't wait for their white squares and their social media platforms.
The liberal I really want to see that. I really

(01:06:02):
want to see that happen. It'll be really uh really
interesting to see.

Speaker 10 (01:06:06):
That's my beef.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Thanks very much.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
I appreciate you calling in, Patre Yeah, it's it's interesting
to note yesterday we talked about this, nothing about the
shooting of Ashley Babbitt. Total silence on the left. She
was a threat to nobody. They did not follow protocols.
They followed every protocol. This one was attacking with her vehicle.

(01:06:29):
She was impeding. Prior to that, she was told to
get out of her vehicle repeatedly.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
And she didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
She hit the gas left totally. They're just they divorced
themselves from reality. Let's go to is it Alris? Good morning,
and welcome to the Morning Show. What's the beef?

Speaker 8 (01:06:53):
My beef is Y's lip is?

Speaker 12 (01:06:56):
When do we don't stop for for a leaf? Well,
we don't stop for law enforcement. If the law enforce
meant tell you to stop, you stop?

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
Simple?

Speaker 7 (01:07:04):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
Like?

Speaker 12 (01:07:05):
Can we stop making excuses where people and let's not
start with.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
A joorin Floyd.

Speaker 12 (01:07:09):
He was a criminal, she was a criminal. If they
ain't police, come on, man, right, let us stop it
in it at that it's cut and drop, you know,
cut very dry. You stop when the police get behind you,
You stop when they tell you to stop. If you
did nothing wrong, you have to nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
To worry about, right, that's exactly right.

Speaker 12 (01:07:30):
Right, Come on, man, I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
That's all I got to say, though, Man, I appreciate
you calling in. Yeah, brilliant to the point. That's exactly right.
They said get out of your vehicle.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
She did not. She floored it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
It's a tragedy, but she was the cause of the tragedy.
Although her, her companion, her female partner, is taking response
ability saying her death is my fault.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Maybe the left out to listen to that. Let's go
to Jason. Jason, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 11 (01:08:07):
Hey, good morning, guys. I got too. I'll make it
real quick. The first one stopped listening to Google after
about three days. I actually got Google to tell me
it is not a truth engine. Okay, simply ask Google
if it Simply ask Google if it tells the truth.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
It will tell you.

Speaker 11 (01:08:25):
No, it will tell you what it is programmed to say.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
There you go next.

Speaker 11 (01:08:31):
The second one is we have got away from my generation.
I'm fifty, my generation maybe yours. We were always told
that if it was if it had nothing nice to say, it,
don't say nothing at all. That's what's wrong with these
younger generations. They were never told how bad they are.
You don't have to be cruel in the way you
say it, but you can tell somebody that it's not nice.

(01:08:53):
You can tell somebody that what they're doing is wrong. Yes,
so we need to get away from If it's not nice,
don't say it. So if it's not nice, don't be
cool how you say it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Thank you very much, sir, appreciate the phone call. Eight
five zero two zero five WFLA. We've got one line open.
We've got George first, then Brian, then Curtis. What about you?
It's what's the b Friday? Your chance to get it
off your chest. You're gonna have a better weekend, I
promise you. It's the Morning Show with Preston's.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Guy the UFLA on your phone with the iHeartRadio app
and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox
and Sonos soon Yes, and iHeart Radio station.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Final segment of something we call audio therapy. It's if
you're new to the Morning Show, Welcome. This is the
ultimate big Tent. We tolerate everybody, unlike the alleged big
tent out there on the left, which is intolerant of

(01:10:13):
anybody that doesn't see things exactly the way they see them.
We tolerate well most everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Anyway, We'll fit as many calls in as we possibly can.
Let's start here with George, who's been very patient. Good morning, George,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (01:10:34):
As he used to say, ditto, brother. Come on, I
got two real quick Presston with almost an eighty percent
unemployment rate up by Somalians in Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
What is the need for daycare?

Speaker 10 (01:10:50):
There's no need. The other had the pullet laureate that
ended up making a bad decision and getting killed for it.
Has she been a neil legal the shooter been an
ill legal alien. We wouldn't hear a word out it
by anybody, by the media and nobody. So if that
ICE agent would have been an illegal alien like what

(01:11:12):
was going on up in North Carolina, yep, we wouldn't
hurt anything. So have a great weekend. Good to have
you back on the air doing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
What y'all do.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Thank you, George, appreciate that very much. We've got one
two lines open now. We had someone drop. I can't
believe it, but that happens. People sometimes just cannot wait
as long as we need them to and I apologize
for that, but Brian, you now have the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
What's the beef?

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
Quickly? My beefs with all the leadership of our country,
we had all these protesters, if they'd all just get
together and encourage the illegals to leave the country and
take the thousand dollars and fly away and come back
another day, legally, all this problem would go with.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Yep, you're right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
That's a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Thank you, Brian. Appreciate it. Simple as that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
See, Brian just boiled it down. He distilled the whole
thing right there. Take the money, go go home, go home,
use that money to start a new life. Curtis, you're up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:12:24):
Preston? And I haven't heard anybody talking about the real
cost of terrors, and that's throughout the administration. In most
of top radio. Somebody may have, but I haven't heard it.
When Congress spends the money we paid for it one
way or the other, either through taxes or inflated cost

(01:12:44):
tarifs are a tax on certain foreign goods. That money
goes to the government, which is paying for money that's
already spent, in other words, paying our own debt. That
we've already made so it doesn't have to be taken
out of our income tax. So the real cost of

(01:13:05):
tariffs is zero.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
One other thing.

Speaker 9 (01:13:11):
The the money they they plan to extend those subsidies
for the Medicare, Medicaid subsidies, medical subsidies. Right now, right now,

(01:13:32):
they're taxing Social Security on anybody with US seventy five
thousand dollars income as retirees who've worked their lives, and
they're paying taxes, and some of that money is going
to people making one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year to pay for their medical cost That doesn't seem.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Right to me.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Done, Curtis, thank you very much. I appreciate you getting
on the line and sharing your thoughts. We do have
time for another caller if someone wants to jump in,
but let me let me address that for a second.
First of all, there is no shortage of things that
are just not right. You hit on some of them.

(01:14:18):
That someone making one hundred and fifty thousand dollars should
be taking tax money from people that are on Social
Security is absurd. It is absurd that the federal government
has one whiff of input on when and how you
take your retirement. You're four oh one k you have

(01:14:41):
to start using it by such and such a date.
Why it's my money. What the heck difference does it
make to you? If I don't want to, if I
want to just keep working and not touch that and
let it just keep growing until I can't work anymore,
and then it's sitting there for me at the age

(01:15:02):
of eighty five, that's up to me. Well, but you
might die at eighty six, So what I'll give it
to my family, that's up to me. There are so
we are scratching the surface of things that are wrong,
that need to be made better, that need to change.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
It's it is a classic.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Illustration all of what he was just talking about, what
I'm talking about, how the government has just gotten so
big it's not accountable to any of this. To his credit,
Trump's trying to close down the size of government.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Is every decision he makes the right one? Not in
my opinion, but most of them are. And if they're
not right, they are moving us in the right direction,
a pendulum that hasn't swung that way in a while.
That's why the midterms election. Midterm elections are so vitally

(01:16:10):
important but I appreciate your phone calls. We've got the
news coming up. Then the best and worst of the week.
We've got some good news, a dad joke, headlines from
the b It's a great final half hour here on
Friday on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
We're here to make it all better. There you go, Yes,
it's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Yes, this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Thirty five minutes past the hour. Time for the best
and worst of the last few weeks. I haven't done
this in a minute. Osey, you're up.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
What do you got? All right?

Speaker 6 (01:17:05):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
You know, my trip was incredible, Christmas was incredible. Where
all that was great, Yeah, lou Ray and all that,
but man, nothing beats going out and sharing the gospel. Okay,
I've been slacking, you know this year, the start of
this year, and yesterday just got out there for the
first time of the for the year, and it was
it was just incredible, amazing watching the Holy Spirit move

(01:17:28):
and work and you know, talk and interacting with people
that were like wow, I just I prayed for this
and it was just a really good time.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
Nice and then kind of in the same.

Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
Respect to My worst for the week is I was
talking with a Muslim brother and a super nice guy,
and I botched sharing the Gospel with him, the true Gospel.
And I was really upset with myself because that's what
I want to do. I want to you know, talk
to Muslims.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
And when you say you botched it, I just I.

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
Was like sharing some stuff this in the Qoran because
I yeah, you know, I know about the Koran, but
I didn't really get into you know, the weeds of
of like why it's wrong and he should come to Christ.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Okay, so you feel like it's more of a preparation
type thing or did you just kind of get nervous.

Speaker 5 (01:18:14):
I wasn't planning on, you know, doing that, and so yeah,
I was more of a I just gotten nervous. You know,
I know a lot, but I just blanked out, you
know when I get nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Okay, fair enough, fair enough, see listen to him. It's
all revolving around Jesus. I feel like an utter heathen now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
My worst of the week is that I feel like
a jerk now because I didn't do any of those things,
probably just out of end the show right here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
No no, no, yeah, thanks a lot. You feel really bad.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Okay, I'm over it. My best of the week is
the green Bay Pass are playing the Bears in Chicago. Look,
I can always say always, it's like it, It's like duh.
The best of the week is that Jesus loves me
the way I am, but he loves me too much

(01:19:20):
to let me stick around this way. He's going to
constantly be working on me. That's an obvious But my
best of the week is that, outside of those types
of things, is that Green Bay gets to go to Chicago.
And I'm pumped about it because I believe Green Bay

(01:19:41):
is a way better football team than they are, and
I'm loving that we're going to get to go to Chicago.
We dominated the Bears for fifty eight minutes the last
time we played them and choked an on sidekick recovery,
or this game wouldn't be happening. But I'm grateful that
it is. My worst of the week, I haven't touched

(01:20:04):
a golf club in two months, and it's another week
that I haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Touched a golf club. It's okay, It's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
There are far that is third world stuff, I get it,
But golf is my outlet. Golf is a very When
I am not with my wife or my family, being
on a golf course is my place. Well being there
just God just reveals himself to me on a golf course.

(01:20:43):
In so many ways. Golf is not just a game
for life. You can play it all your life. It's
a game for life. It teaches you about life because
it's all about how you handle the adversity that comes
by playing a game that is so remarkably difficult. Anyway,

(01:21:09):
my best and worst of the week not nearly as
spiritual as his. But again I'm past that now. Forty
minutes past. We've got good news next on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
Guy to what you're talking about. It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Might have Governor Ron de Santas with
us next week. Been grinding a way on that for
a minute.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
We are always working, working on getting Secretary of State
Mark or Rubio. Yeah, you just never know what's going
to happen around here. We are so fortunate to do
what we do, and God has just given us favor.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
We just keep our head down and do the best
we can each and every day to do a good
radio show. And God gives us favor with guests that
other people can't can't get, and God gives us favor
to talk about topics others refuse to talk about. And

(01:22:38):
we've been blessed to have so many listeners for so
many years, and so as we you know, I mean,
March eighteenth will be the twenty fourth anniversary and we
will begin our twenty fifth year, and that's unheard of
in this industry. They're just our very few people that

(01:23:01):
get to do what I do for as long as
I've been able to do it in one place, and
I haven't had an interest in moving to quote a
bigger market. Well, I've got iHeart Radio. I don't need to.
If iHeart chooses to put us in other broadcast outlets

(01:23:24):
in Florida, I'm open to that. I've told him that
that's something you want to do. Fine, I think it'd
be smart, But I don't really care because iHeart affords
us listeners in Orlando and Tampa and Jacksonville, in Miami,
in Sarasota, in other parts of the state where we're

(01:23:47):
not broadcasting as we are in Tallahassee and Panama City,
people in Pensacola and Destined, and we have listeners all
over the country because of iHeart. So I'm not real
nervous about that, and I don't I'm not I don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:24:04):
About, you know, being in a bigger market. I'm where
God wants me and where He has me. I am blessed.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
I came across a story, My good news story is
Brock Purty. Brock is the quarterback of the San Francisco
forty nine ers, and he's a guy I pull for.
Why Well, you might not know this or even be
aware of this, but he was the last player drafted

(01:24:40):
in the NFL draft. The year that he became a professional,
he was called mister irrelevant. It's to me one of
the most insulting things the NFL has done. They've come
to label the last draft pick mister irrelevant. Well, mister irrelevant,
the last guy I picked in the seventh round of

(01:25:01):
the draft the year he was drafted. Is the starting
quarterback for the San Francisco forty nine ers, and they
have a shot at going to another Super Bowl with
him in charge. He signed the minimum contract for eight
hundred thousand dollars in his rookie year. His deal now

(01:25:22):
is forty one million. But here's what he has to
say about that. I think over the first couple of
years it was a good transition. I had my roommates
and everything. I got married, and slowly I was playing
more obviously as the starting quarterback for the forty nine ers,
So I was just able to in a sense, ease
my way into this role. But more than anything, I've

(01:25:45):
had some really good people in my life to remind
me of keeping life simple, not buying into the flashy
kind of lifestyle or anything, just keeping my life simple
so that I can go out in the field and
do what I've always done and play play ball, keep
my mind clean and clear. So it's been a good transition.
But I want to use my role in my platform
to love people, serve people, and not just crave it

(01:26:08):
for myself kind of thing. It's just where I'm at,
it's how I view it, and so he works to
give what he's made away. He's a young professional athlete
that you can tell your kids to look to as
a role model. His little brother was a quarterback for

(01:26:31):
a while at Florida State. Hubba but Brock is that guy.
And the fact that we have a few professional athletes
that have their heads screwed on straight and want to
bless other people with their position and their platform and
their wealth. That, my friends, is good news. Full week

(01:27:07):
of broadcasting in the books, but not just yet. Time
for a dad joke. We end the week with something
you can share over the weekend to church. This comes
courtesy and I haven't finished the first list of jokes
that Ryan sent me more than a year ago, and
now he sends me a few more. Never date a

(01:27:29):
tennis player. Love means nothing to them.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
It's so good. If you don't know tennis, it just went.
But you know tennis, that is so good. I don't
get it. That is so good.

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
But nowadis and gentlemen, it is time for headlines courtesy
of your my, our trusted source for satire.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
These are headlines from the Babylon b.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Democrats solemnly remember the only riot they didn't like. On
January sixth, Tim Wall's retiring to spend more time in prison,
Democrats once again threatened civil war to stop Republicans from
taking away their slave laborers. White House announces over one

(01:28:20):
million new jobs were created in December, but they were
all filled by Marco Rubio Maduro, now polling his most
popular Democrat. Teenager confused how parents still don't know everything
when it only took him sixteen years. Family stage's intervention
over forty year old dad skinny jeans.

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
Awkward.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
Biden forced to pay Trump the twenty five million dollar bouty.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
For capturing Maduro.

Speaker 13 (01:28:57):
Democrats demand to know why I agents can't just shoot
cars in the leg Anthropologists discover uncontacted tribe and remote
area of Ikea, and Tim Walls calls in Somali military
to fight against ice.

It's the morning show on WFLA.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Oh, it's a brilliant brilliant headlines courtesy of the B
And by the way, every one of those headlines has
a story attached to it. So go to bebylinb dot
com and enjoyed the content that goes with it. Our
show started with John fifteen to four. That was our
verse of the day, after beginning with a tune from

(01:29:47):
tenth Avenue North. Big stories in the press box. How
many vehicle rammings ice is faced this year better than
one hundred, meaning twenty twenty five to now judge, let's
a lawsuit against Robert F. Kenny Junior and CDC perceed.

(01:30:08):
The lawsuit has to do with COVID vaccine recommendations. The
plaintiffs are all tied to vaccine manufacturers. Isn't that interesting?
How remarkably coincidental. Utah permits nation's first AI drug prescriptions. Yeah,
I think that's pretty much a horrible idea. Jeopardy host

(01:30:31):
Ken Jennings says, the twenty twenty eight candidate who vows
to prosecute Trump has my vote. I have taken Jeopardy
off the list of television programs I will ever watch.
BONDI hero Ahmed Ahmed speaks on the moment he disarmed
the subject, said that Donald Trump is a hero. He'd

(01:30:53):
love to meet him. You're a hero, brother. You're in Islammisters.
Maybe in Islamist he's not, but he's unafraid and I'm
proud he's in our country trying to get real medical help.
