Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
What a prep job required for this program. Hello, good morning,
Welcome Tuesday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He
is Jose looking today like either a member of the
cast of the Matrix or a more contemporary version of

(00:35):
one of the Brothers. He's got the black duster on.
He's in all black. He is, he is. He's looking
like a bullet in there with a instead of a
full metal jacket, a black duster. Ye haul, yeah, buddy.

(00:56):
Welcome friends, It's good to be with you. October the fourteenth,
fifty four, seventy two. It is Charlie Kirk's birthday, and
we will pay attention to that in the broadcast today.
Our verse of scripture, though, comes from Romans one, verses

(01:17):
sixteen and seventeen. It says, for I am not ashamed
of the Gospel, for it is the power of God
for the salvation to everyone who believes, to the jew first,
and also to the Greek for in it. And by
the way, let's just pause there for a second and
always remember we love Israel, we pray for Israel, we

(01:43):
stand with Israel. But Israel's full of lost people, just
like America is. And listen to what that scripture said
Jesus king first for the Jews, but he came for everyone.

(02:08):
But but mission one was a focus on the Jews
who had an Old Testament form of worship that God
wanted to blow up. He wanted to God wanted a
return to those walks in the cool of the day

(02:32):
as he enjoyed with his creation Adam and Eve. That
now this gets to you know when you when you
read in the Old Testament the Angel of the Lord,
that's Jesus. There's a there's a very big difference between

(02:54):
that expression in Old Testament scripture and an angel. But
that's for another day. I am not ashamed of the Gospel,
for it is the power of God for the salvation
to everyone who believes, the jew first, also the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God, which we talked

(03:17):
about yesterday, is revealed from faith for faith. As it
is written, the righteous shall live by faith. So the
righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith. Boy,

(03:39):
you can noodle on that for a minute and find
yourself really really in some deep thought. For in it
the righteousness, for in what the gospel, it's the power

(03:59):
of God. The gospel message of Jesus is the power
of God, and in it the righteousness of God is
revealed from faith. For faith, the righteousness of God is

(04:22):
revealed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That Jesus came,
he lived, he died, he was raised, and he's coming back.

(04:43):
Let's let's roll into the show here now got to
take take a look at this date in history and more.
Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Eleven past the hour the Morning Show. He's ose, I'm Preston,
got mainly minute today. We'll have some money talk as well.
And Justin Haskins now the vice president of the Heartland

(05:34):
Institute and senior Fellow. He's always been a senior fellow,
but now his vice president as well. I can do that.
I could do that. William Buckley kind of thing. Let's
see here the fourteenth of October sixteen forty four. William
Penn born in London, the founder of Pennsylvania. You got

(06:06):
to admit it's kind of cool to have a state
named after you. What is your name, sir, My name
is William Penn. Jolly good, we'll call this Pennsylvania. I

(06:27):
don't know, just I wonder where the Sylvania came from.
I know it's a light bulb, but I mean, how
did it become penn Sylvania. I know there's probably a
really good breakdown of that. Seventeen seventy four Continental Congress
adopts the Declaration of Rights, stating that colonists are entitled

(06:51):
to life, liberty, and property. We would change that to
the pursuit of happiness eighteen ninety. Dwight David Eisenhower, thirty
fourth US President, born in Dennison, Texas. Nineteen twelve, while

(07:12):
campaigning for the presidency in Milwaukee, Teddy Roosevelt shot in
the chest, but he gave his speech anyway.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
It takes more than Billy to stop a bull moose.
Can you imagine the dude got shot in the chest
and gave his speech what it did not obviously end

(07:45):
his life. Nineteen forty seven Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager,
who I met. I got to sit next to mister
Yeager at an NFL alumni awards dinner that my dad
m seed. He was the He was the honoree. The

(08:08):
NFL picked somebody outside of the professional field of football
to honor each year and it was Chuck Yeger. Let
me tell you something. You sit next to history it
uh yeah. Twenty twelve, Austrian skydiver Felix Bombgartner becomes the

(08:33):
first person to break the barrier outside a vehicle by
jumping from a capsule twenty four miles above New Mexico.
Have you ever seen the video of that. It's red
Bull Red Bull video and it's it's high deaf from
him and you see him standing outside the capsule twenty
four miles above earth and the camera's looking out over

(08:55):
as he falls. That is a crazy, crazy free fall.
And of course it was on this date in nineteen
ninety three in Arlington Heights, Illinois, that Charlie Kirk was born.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
So we remember Charlie today told you this is going
to be an ongoing thing. We're going to We're not
going to just let Charlie's memory become defined by the
number of chapters of Turning Point USA exist. That's part
of the picture, but that's not the picture that we're
going to leave. So stick around. We've got much much more.

(09:34):
It is also, sir, sir, it is National b bald
and b Free Day. Oh yeah, I'm celebrating there you
go polish that bad boy up. You clean up nicely, sir,
you clean up nicely. Today is also National Real Sugar Day,

(09:57):
which leads to National Dessert Day. I said to my
wife yesterday we had some coconut cream pie. Over the
weekend along with our daughter in law brought us some
apple cake, fresh made homemade apple cake. Boy, that was sporty.
That was really good. But we had some pie and

(10:21):
I just I looked at my wife yesterday and I said,
you know, as much as I love chocolate cake and
pie is probably my favorite because pie has got it.
It's pudding, a good pie. And I'm not talking about
the fruit pies, you know that, but a good pie
is basically like pudding and then it's got a crust

(10:45):
and then you can go and put whipped cream on
it if you want. In this case, coconut cream pie
has already got it. It's incredible. So yeah, National Dessert
Day seventeen passed the hour, come back with a did
you know next who kinda have a channeling my inner

(11:16):
forest Frank twenty two minutes past the hour. We learned
in the last segment that in the sixteen hundreds, William
Penn founded Pennsylvania. But what I asked was where did
Sylvania come from? It's more than a light bulb. I
know that. Well, did you know?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, the word Sylvania literally means woods and it comes
from the Latin word silva, meaning woods or forest. William
Penn initially wanted to just name it penn but King
Charles the Second added Sylvania or I'm sorry Penn to
the name in honor of his father, Penn's father.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Okay, there is deep lore so Okay, so who made
it Pennsylvania? The King or William Penn?

Speaker 4 (12:12):
King Charles made it Pennsylvania. Penn wanted to just name
it Penny. I'm sorry Sylvania, I'm sorry Sylvania.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, so, so it was it was the king that
honored William Penn's father, ye, naming it penn Sylvania. Otherwise
it would have been Sylvania. Boy, that would have been
brutally bad from the state of Sylvania. What that's dopey,

(12:42):
that's good, good stuff. All right. So there's your did
you know? Courtesy of Jose I don't know if you noticed.
Over the weekend, Crypto took a blood bath. You know,
billions were wiped out with the snap of fingers allegedly

(13:06):
triggered by the US enacting further tariffs on China. It's like, really,
that is how fragile that stuff is. Man, I'll tell
you what, I am feeling smarter and smarter about going
nowhere near that stuff. You know, most people don't invest

(13:30):
more than they can afford to lose in a singular
whatever this got so got so bad, some Ukrainian crypto
trader shot himself in the head in his Lamborghini. Thirty
two year old Guy Constantine Gaelic, well known figure in
Ukrainian and international crypto community, co founded the Cryptology Key

(13:52):
Training Academy Trading Academy, was an active influencer and strategist
and digital asset markets and he decided to just end
his life because of what happened. Yeah, no, I you know,

(14:14):
Warren Buffett once said something that I want to bring
up here, and I came across this. I thought it
was very relevant because I have I have pointed out
on multiple occasions, even though I've had I've had experts
on the show to explain crypto, I've had more than
half a dozen people write me lengthy emails explaining crypto.

(14:39):
I don't get it. I don't get it. I will
I don't think I will ever understand it, and I
don't consider myself to be particularly stupid. But Warren Buffett
once said if I don't understand it, I won't invest
in it. Now that's a guy who, while I don't

(15:05):
like his view of tax policy, because he says, you
know I can afford to pay more, well, then pay more.
You know no one's stopping you from paying more. The
idea of investing in non money, with non money that
only exists on a computer screen, all on credit, and

(15:32):
it may be a little volatile, you think, yeah, no,
And I know I'm going to get some of you
writing me saying no, crypto is great. I disagree. I'm
just I will not go there. Ever. It's not a
thing I will entertain. I will not send my money there.
And I for one am an advocate of let's get

(15:54):
back on the gold standard, let's anchor our money to
something that's tangible. But uh yeah, so uh tough weekend.
It's stabilized a little bit because you see, here's the
other thing. Crypto is twenty four to seven. It's not
like the stock market. It is twenty four to seven

(16:14):
all the time, three sixty five. It's never stops that's
that's too much for me. Now, not gonna do it.
Not gonna do it, wouldn't be pruding. Twenty seven past
the hour. Let's do the uh News, weather, traffic, come
back with the big stories.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
We challenge you to make a difference in your world.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
M ad again it, you know, try to make a
positive influence upon others.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
You know, you know, be a good person. But the
Morning Show, Preston Scott, Remember.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
TMS Preston Scott. That's it's apt TMS Preston Scott on
X and that is the user name tms Preston Scott
on Instagram. AM coming soon. We are in beta testing.
I don't know if that's what it is, but that's
what i'm calling it now. I'm just I'm playing around

(17:11):
with different backdrops that I that I want to do,
and and and we're we're definitely gonna do some added
little features, but we're we're looking at a daily feature
Monday through Friday, a very condensed big stories of the
press box kind of thing. And uh, the goal is

(17:33):
to drop a few nuggets. It will not be as
definitive and quite as opinionated because there's just not time.
I want to keep these things brief, and so we're
we're fashioning what that looks and sounds like. But I

(17:57):
want to try to reach some folks that might we
might not reach another way and bring them into the
fold of this radio program. So we're you know, for example,
yesterday's test run was do you really think Congress ought
to be paid? Right now? That was my tease, And

(18:20):
then I got to the big stories and I and
I ended where I started, and it's like, how in
the world does Congress get paid during the shutdown? They
should be the last people paid in government? How dare
they say, well, we will get paid sc you none

(18:42):
of you, nnya, nnya should be paid. No one. Why
should Democrats or Republicans be paid for shutting down the government?
They are the government, They are the government. Big stories

(19:03):
in the press box today. This comes courtesy of Vigilantfox
dot Com by way of the Gateway Pundit, I will
read the headline bombshell vax versus unvaxed study finally sees
the light of day and the results are staggering. The

(19:27):
short version is that a film producer in health journalist
del Bigtree has released a new documentary film called an
inconvenient study where he follows a year's long exchange with
doctor Marcos Zervos. Xervos, the head of infectious disease at

(19:50):
henry Ford Health in Detroit. He's about as pro vaccine
as they come. They cross paths. Back in twenty sixteen,
Big Tree urged him to take on something that public
health has avoided for decades, a study comparing health outcomes

(20:10):
of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. Keep in mind twenty sixteen.
Zervas agreed, determined to prove the Big Tree and other
vaccine skeptics were wrong, and he said, quoting whatever the

(20:31):
results they get published. In other words, Okay, if I
do this, whatever it says, it gets published. Deal, let
me fast forward you. And there's a lot inside this study.

(20:51):
But suffice to say that the filmmaker had to go
with a hidden camera and a sit down to interview
with doctor Servos, because remember he said, whatever the results
we publish, right, well, the results weren't very good for

(21:18):
pro vaxers. In twenty twenty two, Big Tree convinced doctor
Servos to sit down and explain why he never published
the study that he claimed he would. He guaranteed he
would it was part of the if you will dare, fine,
I'll do this, but if I do it, the study

(21:39):
gets published. No matter what he was that convinced listen,
I won't play it. It's a recorded, undercover kind of
camera type thing. He admitted on tape. Publishing something like that,
I might as well retire. I'd be finished. Next hour,

(22:02):
we'll go into exactly what that study showed as it
relates to vaccines on children. Forty one minutes past the hour.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Conversations with Preston Scott podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Don't forget, We're told them. Don't forget.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
We're just reminding them.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
What do you want from me?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Just leave me alone?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio Double UFLA,
Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Forty two minutes past the hour. Biden and Anthony Blincoln
trying to take credit for the Gaza Amas Israeli deal.
Oh gosh, Joe Biden got lost in the rose Garden

(23:19):
in the White House. He has no idea what's going
on over there. Christiana immpoor, why is she still employed?
She is the hostess? CNN International. Yes, you heard right, hostess.
Remember when we used to call a female host a hostess,

(23:40):
a male host a host male female host hostess. She
actually went on the air to say now she's apologized,
but she went on the air to say that the
Israeli prisoners were treated better than the Gazas. It gets worse.

(24:07):
Leslie Stall of CBS looked straight into the eyes of
a Hamas hostage and asked him if Hamas really intended
to starve him or or whether they just didn't happen

(24:29):
to have enough food? Are you kidding me? And these
are people that draw paychecks as credible journalists. There was
a time Christian I'm import did a good job, but

(24:52):
it's been a long time. Hamas already there is the
possibility they've already violated the terms of the agreement with
the remains of the deceased hostages. There are twenty eight
they had released as of yesterday. Four I don't know

(25:15):
if more are coming can Alex. This is my worst
fear on that front, that Israel the families will get
these coffins back and they will not contain the remains
of their loved ones. It'll be somebody else. It is

(25:39):
a violation of the agreement. It's and I know what
the response is gonna be by some come on, we're
not gonna We're not gonna end this deal over that. Well,
that's the point of a deal. You follow it by

(26:00):
the letter you have to, so we'll see. I have
expressed my concerns. I would not have done the deal
if I were Israel. And I know that you know
you've got the lives of those that were returned yesterday,
that the twenty hostages that were set free. I get that,

(26:22):
not in return for two thousand terrorists. They're not military people.
They're terrorists. This is not prisoners of war. And I
think the framing of it matters. But I want my
choice to make. Of course, forty six past the hour,

(26:46):
come back and Tux Morton ever you may be.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
From Florida, Sunshine State to Washington State. No, No, not Washington.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Sorry, Washington's also hopeless for crying out loud. Is this
the only bash of physical wealth and mindset?

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Goodness? Yeah? And this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Fifty one minutes past the hour. Yesterday we listened a
little bit to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, delivering
remarks extolling the virtues of the American involvement in the
deal with Hamas. He spiked the football. He absolutely spiked

(27:42):
the football. Then President Trump delivered his remarks and they
were lengthy, but they were hailed broadly as being incredible.
His remarks. C SPAN and does this thing where they
will react with phone callers. They do kind of a

(28:05):
radio program on TV and they take callers and they
do it by identity. They Republican caller, a Democrat caller,
and maybe they allow identities of independent or non affiliated.
I don't know, but this was on c SPAN. This
is a self identified Democrat.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
Yes, Hi, that was a I'm going to get choked up,
a momentous speech. And I'm a conservative Democrat living here
in New York where this example of bringing peace to
everyone should be sort of in New York City, where,

(28:49):
out of ignorance, the people are about to elect a
guy who's pro terrorist, pro Hamas, who's friends with his
people in Gandha, a country that executes, lawfully executes people
for being gay, and there should be a wake up
call to everyone that people can live together. I go back.

(29:13):
I worked as a young man for Humphrey and for
McGovern and became more conservative as I've gotten older, but
this was this was like the best. You know, he
does it in his own style. We actually lived pretty
close to where he grew up. And you know, New

(29:34):
Yorkers like Bernie Sanders are sort of different. They're funny,
they're abrasive sometimes, but there should be a lesson to
all of us that we can all live together. I
think the future if the Gosins really accept the goodness
and the money that's going to come from the Arab

(29:56):
community and from the world community, it can be a
different world. And I'm sorry for being so emotional, but
it's a great moment in history for everyone. And we
have to reject Hake, we have to reject and Keitha,
we have to reject Mendabmi, and we have to come

(30:17):
together as human beings. I'm an old guy. Life is
short and we should love all right.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Thank you, There you go. That's a conservative, self identified
conservative Democrat from New York on President Trump's speech yesterday
and what was accomplished. You know, it's it's I think
it is highly appropriate to lead into our next segment

(30:48):
with that, because when we come back after the top
of the hour news break, We're going to celebrate Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's entire message was founded on the Gospel of

(31:10):
Jesus Christ, not some watered down version of it that's
being peddled by way too many churches today and being
packaged and sold as if it's okay to just omit
that go and send no more part of the gospel message.

(31:33):
But all Charlie tried to do was talk to people.
When people would flip him off and drop explatives and
every F bomb and profanity, He'd say, come on, let's talk.
I've got some great stuff for you. Next, do not
miss our two of the Morning Show at Preston Scott

(31:57):
if I passed the hours. The Morning Show with Preston
Scott tonight in the capital City of Florida at the
Florida State Capital six o'clock, a candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk,
honoring Charlie on his birthday. Remembering Charlie on his birthday,

(32:18):
I wanted to do that. I'm playing a clip that
was picked out by a young man who happens to
be black, has a YouTube channel, and he posted this
Charlie Kirk video deeply moved me, and it was Charlie
speaking at a pastor's conference.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
The young kids, they don't want you to kind of
sanitize all this stuff for them. They will come and
flocks for you to say the blunt truth that you
think is going to offend them.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Yes, you need Jesus, but.

Speaker 7 (32:46):
Do you know why you see the reason why it's
not yet being translated into revival is that they say,
of course Jesus is your savior, but we're not connecting
the dots. How do you know you need a savior
if you don't know what you're saved from, and you
only know what you're saved from if you talk about sin.
So we focus everything on the fact that someone's going
to save you from drowning. We don't tell a generation

(33:08):
that they're drowning, and they're so obviously drowning. It's the
most suicidal generation in history, the most drug addicted generation history,
the most poor addicted generation in history, but objectively the
most miserable generation in history. And yet we say, you're
just perfect the way you are. They don't feel perfect
the way they are. They're telling you that everything is

(33:30):
that okay. They're telling you that something is wrong, and
the message that Christianity gives you is well he gets
you or whatever that commercial is right, everything's fine.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
No, that's actually not how you win young people over.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
You win them over being like you know what, you
know why you're miserable because you're not following God's laws
and commands. That's why actually, and you'll never actually follow
all of them.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
And that's why you need a savior.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
Because if you don't have a savior, then you're gonna
end up in a not very good place and you won't.

Speaker 6 (33:59):
End up being enough.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
Mind blown by the way, this is not like the
Charlie Kirk thing. This is how the gospel was taught
successfully for two thousand years, and the last forty years
we decided to hyper modernize it and it's been a
failure everybody. And that is the most important thing. What
young people especially are screaming at, is they say, give
me a structure that I can live my life by.

(34:23):
Give me a rubric that I can follow. Don't just
affirm every bad decision I've ever made.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
In fact, it's okay if.

Speaker 7 (34:32):
You tell me I've messed up, because you'll be the
first person to tell me I've messed up in my
life because my parents won't tell me that anymore. My
professors tell me I'm the greatest person ever. In fact,
the modern church has been led to believe the secular
lie that what this church needs, what the generation needs,
is a better pump up. You know, yeah, you're enough
and you can do it, because we think since they're depressed,

(34:55):
they need to be pumped up more. It's you know,
it's kind of obvious, right, when in reality they have
everybody telling them the most narcissistic thing ever, you're the greatest,
You're the most awesome. Take more pictures yourself, more selfies,
more snapchats, more tiktoks, more and more me me, me,
me me, And all they do is to think about
themselves all day long, right, and if you have anything
wrong with you, you have to go claim mental health

(35:16):
issues and go talk to accounts or what you're legitimate.
Some of what you're obviously just concocted by the environmental
factors around them, and they get in this endless spiral
loop when in reality we have to do less affirmation,
and especially with young men, more challenging of them, more
saying you know what, honestly, I'm not going to talk
down to you. Stop being a boy and become a man.
You want to learn what that means, Come to church

(35:37):
and I'll tell you what it means to become a man.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
There you go. That is just a snapshot of a
speech that he gave to a room full a conference
of church leaders and pastors. And you know what he
was begging them to do. Teach God's word, don't water

(36:03):
it down. We have allowed the message of Christ to
be absolutely diluted because we don't hold each other to
a standard. Why do you think Charlie Kirk was adored

(36:28):
by a generation who looked at him as their big
brother because he said the tough things. But there is
so much more to Charlie. When we come back, I'm
gonna let you listen to just one encounter at one

(36:48):
of his stops that will shatter this whole thing of
he hates gays, he hates LGBT EQ. Ten Past the
Hours of the Morning Show with Preston Scott celebrating honoring
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Illiberals have done what you would expect them to do.
They parse, they edit, they create a false narrative of
who Charlie Kirk was and what he was all about

(37:50):
in the city of Tallahassee and Leon County. You have
the contemptible comments of a school member who revealed his
ignorance by falling for all of the narrative. This is

(38:13):
just a I mean a sliver, a splinter's worth of
wood of Charlie and how he conducted himself. And I
chose not to air a fight where someone just was
dropping f bombs and you'd hear bleep, bleep bleed. No,

(38:37):
I want you to hear this because this is somebody
that's coming out of the shadows to talk to Charlie.
And I want you to pay attention to not just
what this young man says, but I want you to
pay more attention to how Charlie interacts with him.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
I was Charlie. My name is Roderick, and so for
over ten plus years I identified as a gay man,
and then I gave my life to Jesus and left
the LGBTQBUS community. And my question to you is what
is your response to those who say that conservatives and

(39:21):
God hates everyone.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
In the LGBTQ PUS community.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
Well, I think it'd be actually better for you to
respond to that because you've received that and you're no
longer of that. Here's here's the truth but more provocative answer,
that your identity should not be in your sexual proclivity.
It should actually be your identity is much greater than
just what you do in the bedroom. Being gay is
a behavior more than anything else, and you, I guess,

(39:45):
are evidence and I love to hear your story that
you could stop acting on that behavior. So tell the
audience more about you would identify as gay and as
not tell us about that that path, that journey, because
I'm told that can never happen.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (39:57):
So, I mean a lot of people tell me that
you are what you feel, you are your attractions. You know,
you're quote unquote born with it, you know it just
there's just many reasons why you have same sex attraction,
that that will never leave you, and that that is
who you will always be. And I believe that lie.
For almost ten plus years in my life, I slept

(40:19):
with men many times, watched a lot of porn, in
a lot of sexual sin, and just gave my body
up because that's what I thought love was, and that's
what I thought it looked like until I met Jesus
and he helped me to see that I was never
meant to identify as a gay man, but I was
always meant to be a son of His and have
a new identity and a new life in him. And

(40:41):
I walked away from that lifestyle for over five plus
years now, and I have never looked back because Jesus
is way better than the sexuality that I was partaking in.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Praise God, are you?

Speaker 7 (40:55):
Are you happier and more joyful that you're no longer
participating in a homosexual life?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Cell oh one hundred percent?

Speaker 8 (41:01):
Like before I met Jesus, I was filled with so
much depression anxiety. I wanted to kill myself multiple days
of the week. But Jesus came and healed all the
brokenness inside of me, and I love being a son
of His rather than identifying as a gay man.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Well.

Speaker 7 (41:14):
And so, to answer your question, there is not hatred.
There is still what we have as conservatives and Christians
is a simple understanding that God has a certain sexual
ethic that we should try to abide by. Everybody has
temptations that you have. They have proclivities that you have.
Some people are more likely to gamble. Some people are
more likely to be compulsive liars. You don't have to

(41:36):
act on those temptations. I am curious though, like, so,
in your own sexuality right now, do you still feel
attracted to men? And I'm asking because just because you
feel an attraction doesn't mean you need to act on it.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Is that correct?

Speaker 8 (41:50):
Yeah? So yes, I would say that I still do
have attractions towards men. Is not as much as they
used to be five years ago. But I've learned that
it's not really about whether or not I have attractions
towards men still.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
It's more so about whether.

Speaker 8 (42:05):
I have a relationship with Jesus, which I do, and
that relationship with Him far exceeds any attractions that I
acted on in the past. And yeah, my life with
him is so much better. And just because you become
a Christian, I'm leaving the lgbt kep US community. That
doesn't mean that your same sex attractions will go away,
but it does mean that you will have a God
who loves you, who will walk with you, and who

(42:27):
will give you eternal life through him.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
And let me just say one of the things, very
important thing. We want people to be free from sin
because sin means suffering and then when you are captive
the sin. For example, I, like many men in this audience,
studied struggled with pornography, you know, ten years ago whatever,
getting through that. We all have something we struggle with.
You should never affirm the struggle. You should try to
break free of the struggle. And only Christ Jesus is

(42:49):
able to do that. Thank you so much for your
time today.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Thank you, yes, thank.

Speaker 6 (42:52):
You, thank you.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
All right, but did you notice was there a bully
in there? Now? Of course, this is a young man
that's coming to him saying this is where I was.
He wasn't there to pick a fight. Charlie will push back,
he's very capable. But what you heard was the beauty
of being able to lay back and listen, ask questions

(43:18):
while making statements. And that is what we've lost, or
have we? That's really what's up for grabs and moving forward,
isn't it. I know I'm running late, eighteen past the hour,

(43:43):
forty three minutes past the hour. I want to take
a moment or two to detail the danger. I'm going
to quote Bennie Johnson, who is a conservative commentator. Is
any Democrat courageous enough to disavow violence because it has

(44:04):
become mainstream in the Democrat Party to just ignore it. Look,
we've all seen the documentation of what's happened and how
much violence is coming from people on the left for
ideological political purposes. This is being fomented, this is being

(44:26):
created on the left, And like Matt Vespa town Hall,
I am tired of being told to turn down the
rhetoric when we've done nothing wrong, but pointed out we're
the ones condemning the violence, no matter who does it

(44:47):
always have we're not celebrating the death of other people.
Benny Johnson spoke at a press co conference with Pam Bondi,
US Attorney General. The man who threatened him. I'll go

(45:12):
ahead and name this guy because he's now facing five
years in prison for what he did. George Russell isbel Junior,
Johnson quoting they described in great detail how I'd be
killed in an open field, just like Charlie, how much
blood would come out of my head and neck when

(45:34):
it was blown off. This individual described orphaning my children,
widowing my wife with great joy. You might say, another
left wing radical, another extremist, and to do that, I
like to direct you and to that I like to
direct your attention to the state of Virginia, where Democrats
have nominated and are about to vote for the chief
law enforcement officer in the state, a man who has

(45:56):
done the exact same thing, an individual who's calling for
the assassination by bullets of Republicans. He disagrees with, and
then he uttered the statement, is any Democrat courageous enough
to disavow violence? His wife posted, Hey, Gavin Newsom, the

(46:16):
man who threatened to threaten to kill my husband and
harm my four small children as a resident of your state,
Are you going to disavow him? Or is this okay
with you? Governor? This is becoming commonplace. New Jersey school

(46:38):
board race. Another illiberal caught wishing death upon a conservative
New Jersey school board candidate was caught. A candidate for
the school board caught red handed sending vicious sexual messages

(46:58):
about a conservative female board men in a group chat
labeled this B word needs to die. The text are
about Danielle BelOMO at a July school board meeting, leaked
this week on social media. It's now being investigated by

(47:21):
local police in the affluent suburb of Marlborough. BelOMO must
be cold. Her referring to a portion of her chest
could cut glass that kind of cold. The candidate dropped

(47:46):
out of the race. Scott Samea, an accountant, one of
five candidates running for the open seat. He dropped out
citing family circumstances. Ironically, he was a Girl Scout leader

(48:09):
at one point. Say what you will about that. This
is not one offs. This is happening in place after place,
and this is why the Leon County School Board needs

(48:32):
to have more than just a well we're going to
address comments that are inappropriate and outside of no, no, no, no,
point fingers at the people that are guilty of it.
His name is Daryl Jones. It's not happening at the

(48:53):
hand of all the others. So don't throw this wide
net of we need to be better. Oh stop it,
call it out. Make people accountable for their words. Darryl
Jones needs to step down. An apology is not enough.

(49:16):
We have to This has to stop people. The only
way it stops is when people are held accountable for
their slander and their libelous comments. Twenty eight minutes past
the hour, Big story in the press box.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Next Prince in a positive way improve the lives of others,
that's what this show is about. And this is the
Preston Scott Show. All right, get right to the big

(49:51):
story in the press box. This courtesy of Vigilant Fox Help.
Journalist film producer Dell big Tree has released a new film,
An Inconvenient Study. It follows a year's long exchange with
the doctor Marcus Zervos, Zervas infectious disease head at henry

(50:16):
Ford Health in Detroit. He's pro vaccine. In twenty sixteen,
the two cross paths, with Big Trees suggesting that they
do a study comparing health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
Zervos agreed as long as whatever the results they get published.

(50:36):
Then once the results were known, he chose not to
publish them. When asked why as part of the film
under cover, he said, because if I did, my career
would be over. So what were the results.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
The results of his study confirmed other studies that predated
that cost people their medical licenses. Study revealed that vaccinated
children were four point two nine times more likely to
have asthma, three times higher risk for atopic diseases like exzema,

(51:17):
six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders. That includes over
eighty different diseases five point five times higher risk for
neurodevelopmental disorders two point nine times more motor disabilities, four
point five times more speech disorders, three times more developmental delays,

(51:38):
six times more acute and chronic ear infections. In nearly
two thousand unvaccinated children, there were zero cases of ADHD,
zero cases of diabetes, zero behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, ticks,
and other psychological disorders. This is from the study that

(52:02):
has now been published. In contrast to our expectations, we
found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an
overall two point five fold increase in the likelyhoo of
developing chronic health conditions when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.

(52:25):
Vaccinated kids had a fifty seven percent chance of developing
a chronic disease in the first ten years of life,
compared to seventeen percent of unvaccinated Let's go back to that.
Whatever the results they get published, challenge. That's what doctor
Zervo said at the beginning. This is the extreme pressures

(52:48):
that the medical community is placing on people to conform
their studies to orthodoxy. If it doesn't fit the orthodox
medicine and protocols. It must be suppressed, and that's what happened.

(53:12):
You think Robert F. Kennedy Junior has been on to
something for a while now. It's called an inconvenient study.
I want to look for that film. Forty one minutes
past the hour.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
The morning, Joe at Preston Scott on news radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Here's what I wrote my rundown. Wait they did what
I This doesn't qualify as Florida man, though it could,
and the reason why I'm not is there's a degree
of honor that comes with being considered a Florida man

(54:09):
or a Florida woe man. In this case of Florida couple.
I'm not convinced that these people are here legally. Maybe
they are, maybe they are, but this is incredible. This
is I saw multiple versions of this story. But like
I do, I will take a story and I will

(54:34):
I will put the dogs on it and find multiple
write ups to see if anybody catches something that ever
has somebody else missed. And the best write up for
this one is not the Bee. Not the Bee. Florida
parents reportedly ditch sixteen year old son on roadside with

(54:56):
sack of guns, quoting you are the chosen one. Good luck.
Police have arrested a couple who dropped off their child
and said you're on your own, gave him guns and cash.
Here's how it happened. This from the reports. Now the parents,

(55:20):
Bradley Leon Guerrero Santos and Rosa Nella men Diola Boja
are facing child neglect charges. Do you like the way
I did that? Jose? Did I do it? Honor?

Speaker 6 (55:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:33):
You did way better than I would have. Nice. Police
in Northport, sitting near Sarasota, received a nine to one
one call evening in October one about a suspicious male
who was walking south on the northbound side of Interstate
seventy five. That's your first clue. After he walked the

(55:56):
family dog, the boy said his parents frantically were throwing
clothes into two Duffel bags before rushing him and his
eight year old sibling into the car. Once the teenager
was told that their destination was either Guam or Idaho,

(56:17):
he said he didn't want to go. Now he can
get to the right up of the bee. I mean,
those are certainly diverse options, Guam or Idaho, but they
didn't sit well with the teen, so his parents decided
if he didn't want to come with them, he didn't
have to. This is when they allegedly dumped him on

(56:37):
the side of the road. But they weren't callous enough
to leave the young man unarmed. They gave him two
pistols and some cash. Now the reporting picks up, Northport
Police spokesman Josh Taylor said the discovery of guns was concerning.
Taylor ads that the behavior of the adults was caused
for concern. The report indicates that the child was handed

(56:59):
these bags and told you are the chosen one. Good luck.
When police found the kid walking on I seventy five,
they called the parents, who wouldn't speak to them over
the phone. Police were able to trace their location and
arrest the couple, who were fleeing. The state authorities trace
Santos's phone to the address of a Senior citizen center

(57:21):
in Wachoola, Florida, about an hour north west of their
home in Northport. Both parents arrested without incident in a
parking lot of the senior center been in custody, charged
with child neglect with great harm. Santos was hit with
the additional charge of permitting a minor to possess a firearm.

(57:43):
At the end of the story, they write, I guess
they don't allow this stuff in Florida. Yeah, who does that?
Who does that? And why were they suddenly rushing out
of the city with Guam or Idaho as their destinations.

(58:09):
There's going to be more to this story. You wait,
those poor kids forty six forty seven minutes, now past
the hour, come back with a manly minute. Good morning friends,

(58:32):
and it's time for another manly minute here on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. These are skills, virtues, ideals,
mindsets to teach your young son so that one day
he will be considered not just a male, but a man.

(58:52):
We're going to take the topic of table manners and
table manners for gentlemen. This from the Art of Manliness
book Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man. Make sure,
unless you're expecting a call that's like an emergency from
a family member, leave the phone behind unless you are

(59:16):
using it and you're having a business type meeting, leave
the phone behind. And by business, where you're making notes
or you're referring to notes that you've written, leave the
phone behind. If you are accompanying a lady for dinner.
Husbands demonstrate this. Hold the chair old doors, but hold

(59:39):
the chair as they're seated. When you sit down, place
the napkin on the lap. It's one of the first
things you do. Any gentleman places the napkin on the lap.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Number four.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
There is a way to work the eating utensils, and
you work your way from the outside of the inside.
The smallest fork, if there's the teeny tiny one, that's seafood.
The next smallest fork is your salad fork. The biggest
fork you save that for dinner. Small spoon for coffee,

(01:00:19):
big spoon is for soup. Wait until you know whether
someone's going to bless the meal before you dive in
and start eating. There's nothing worse than going right in
and someone goes, let's pray, and you're like elbows off

(01:00:43):
the table again. Now there's a time when you're eating
with your buds. Okay, but at an appropriate dinner elbows
off the table. Always say please when requesting a dish
be handed to you. When eating rolls or bread, when

(01:01:05):
the butter is passed, take the amount of butter you need.
Take a swipe of it with your knife. Put it
on your plate, and then pass the butter on. Don't
scoop bread butter, and then go back for more. Never ever,
ever too with your mouth open. Oh my gosh, the

(01:01:33):
old seafood thing is only funny to five year olds.
If you have a mustache or beard, trim it appropriately
so it is not literally a cookie duster or a
soup strainer. There is nothing more gnarly and nasty at
a dinner table than a dude with a mustache or

(01:01:56):
beard that's all crusted in food. It's just it is.
If there is a final portion on a serving dish,
ask everybody in the table if they would like it
before you dive in for it. And if somebody brings

(01:02:21):
up something inappropriate for conversation at the dinner at the
dinner table, oh, I don't know, like field dressing a deer. Okay,
let's move that conversation to afterwards, appropriate conversations around the
dinner table. You're welcome. There's a great guide for all

(01:02:43):
of you, for all of us. All right, we come back.
Justin Haskins will be joining us. We've got the new
vice president of the Heartland Institute with me. Next. Welcome morning, friends,

(01:03:13):
Welcome it is another Tuesday here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Great to be with you. He is
Jose I am Preston, and this is the vice president
of the Heartland Institute and senior Fellow Justin Askins. Hey, friend,

(01:03:34):
now are you.

Speaker 9 (01:03:35):
I'm doing well, doing very well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
How are you awesome? Tell me about the new title
and the new responsibilities.

Speaker 9 (01:03:42):
Yeah, that's very exciting. I've been at the Heartland and
Student National Free Market thing Tank for over a decade now,
and very recently the leadership here asked me to step
up and start serving in a higher role. WHI I'll
be running public policy for the organization and working on
government relations projects across the country and helping do innovative

(01:04:06):
new research projects. And the left should be worried. The
left should be worried. I'm coming for all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
So I love it. I love it. You know, our
good friend doctor Bob McClure, president of the James Madison Institute,
says on this program almost every time we visit that
good policy is good politics. That if you get it reversed,
you have a debacle. You can't let the politics define
the policy. I take it you are of the same

(01:04:35):
mindset that good policy is the fundamental baseline through which
governance has to take shape.

Speaker 9 (01:04:43):
Yes, a politician is only as good as the policies
that they actually put into place. And people have learned
not the hard way over many many decades of watching
what goes on in Washington, DC and state capitals. So
I am actually not a big believer in politicians. I'm

(01:05:04):
a big believer in policies. Sometimes really bad politicians put
good policies into place, and vice versa. So the focus
should always be policy. That's the thing that actually impacts people.
Politics makes for good television and you know, it makes
for good discussion and everything, and it does have an
impact obviously because it affects policy. But at the end

(01:05:27):
of the day, if you're rooting for someone just because
they have the right letter next to their name, then
you're not paying attention. The reality is, if you want
America to be a freer, more prosperous place, you need
to focus on good policy, not on politics.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Justin you know, to paraphrase Woody from toy Story, politics
poisons the water hole. And I really think that, you know,
I reflected on this while I was thinking about our
visit today. It was one month ago. You and I
traditionally have our visits on the second Tuesday of the month.

(01:06:05):
One month ago, on the second Tuesday of the month,
Charlie Kirk had one day left to live. And to
bring those points together, we are seeing now how politics poisons,
how politics has caused a devolution in social discourse and

(01:06:25):
in civil dialogue and debate, and I'm not quite sure
how to recover from it. But i'd love to get
your thoughts on Charlie and what's happened.

Speaker 9 (01:06:37):
Yeah, obviously, what happened with Charlie Kirk was horrifically tragic
and in a lot of ways, one of the most
tragic parts about it was that it really isn't all
that surprising that this happened because of the problem we've
had with politics and discourse in this country. The last

(01:06:59):
continue used to believe that the right, regular people on
the right are fascists and Nazis and evil, and that
they're going to lock kids in cages, and that they're
going to do the most horrific things imaginable, and that
they're coming for regular people in a fascistic way like

(01:07:20):
they're Nazis, and because they use that language over and
over and over again. Some people have come to believe it.
Millions of people, they really do believe it. And the right,
some parts of the right, huse very similar language about
the left, and the reality is that in the vast
majority of cases, there is a lot more going on

(01:07:41):
here than that. Now. I have some really serious problems
with how authoritarian in certain respects the left has become,
especially when it comes to free speech and other things.
There's been a real problem there, I believe. But the
fact of the matter is there is we We have
not come anywhere near close a level where people should

(01:08:04):
be shooting other people in the streets. That is just
absolutely insane. It's being driven by false perceptions that both
sides have of the other side because of politics. If
we stayed focused on the actual issues, not only will
we get more things done and live in a better country,
but I think the temperature in the room probably would

(01:08:24):
come down a bit. But the reality is, politicians are
capitalizing on the situation. They're capitalizing on social media, they're
capitalizing on the twenty four hour, seven day a week
news media in order to score political points, and the
best way to do that for them is to drive
hatred of the other side. It helps with fundraising, it

(01:08:45):
helps with them getting re elected over and over and
over again, and it keeps the focus off of our
things actually getting better and because of that, until people
wake up and realize that's the situation and that you
shouldn't pay so much attention to those kinds that theck
and you should spend more time focusing on what are
the actual solutions here, forget about the rhetoric. Until that happens,

(01:09:06):
we're going to continue to seize this escalating and unfortunately,
I don't think Charlie Kirk is going to be the
last person who's going to lose his life because of politics.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Justin Haskins with me this morning, vice president of the
Heartland Institute and senior fellow. More to come here in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Twelve past the hour. A couple segments left with Justin
Haskins with the Heartland Institute. And you know, we have
talked Justin even today about the fact and the difference
that when there's violence political or otherwise, if it's acted
out by people quote on the right side of the aisle,

(01:09:59):
we never sell break that we don't rejoice over that,
and it, to me is one of the big distinctions
between the two sides of where we are ideologically in
our country right now. So let me ask you the
question I have asked everybody in the weeks subsequent to
Charlie's assassination. What was worse that Charlie Kirk was killed

(01:10:24):
or that we have millions of people celebrating it.

Speaker 9 (01:10:29):
Oh, it's one hundred percent that there are of people
celebrating it, and I and I think it's because it
is a better indicator of how broken our society is.
That that's really the issue. There's always situations where you
could have even the most you know, United country, you
could have an assassination where someone gets killed. It's just

(01:10:51):
a crazy person goes and kills someone. It doesn't necessarily
mean anything about where society is as a whole. But
in this particular case, the celebration of it, this sort
of or even just in a lot of cases, not
celebrating but just saying, well, well, you know, he shouldn't have
gotten killed, but you know, he kind of deserved it.
That kind of attitude is just it's indictive of where

(01:11:15):
we're at as a country. And again, I think it's
indictive of where the left is when they hear the
rhetoric over and over and over again that Charlie Kirk
was a fascist, he was a you know, Nazi sympathizer,
he was a white supremacist, he was you know, these
are the kinds of things that were said about him
over and over.

Speaker 10 (01:11:32):
And over again.

Speaker 9 (01:11:33):
None of it was even remotely true. But that kind
of language for people who aren't really paying attention or
who are sort of radical in their views, it made
things even more radicalized, and it turned the temperature up
in the room for really what the past two decades.
This has been going on now, and I think you

(01:11:55):
have a whole generation of people who are now voting age,
you know, Niels and gen Z who really do have
extremely radical views. And I think that problem is not
going to go away overnight. And it's a massive, massive
one because as more younger, as younger people take over

(01:12:17):
a greater share of the electorate, things are going to
get uglier over time because the differences between the average
millennial conservative and the average millennial liberal, and the average
gen Z conservative and the average gen Z millennial gen
Z liberal are so extreme now so extreme and their

(01:12:38):
positions are so diametrically opposed to each other that the
conflict and is just going to be exacerbated.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Justin standby, We've got we got another segment to go.
We're going to change gears when we come back. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Justin Haskins, Vice President,
Hartland Institute, Senior Fellow, and more importantly than all of that,
our guest here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:13:22):
There are so many things that we can always talk
about with Justin that I value his insight into. I
want to get your reaction to a story we talked
about yesterday and I'm not sure it's getting a whole
lot of attention, But big picture, what is the impact
of dominion voting systems now being owned by an American

(01:13:44):
who is vowing that it's going to be one hundred
percent American owned, operated and audited.

Speaker 9 (01:13:52):
Yeah, this is a great story because even sort of
everyone should be in favor of this. It's sort of like,
even if you don't think there are any problems with
the voting machines, then there are reasons to think that
there are issues with voting machines even if you don't
believe that, though, wouldn't you rather have someone who wants

(01:14:12):
to be very transparent and regularly ought at them and
make sure that there isn't anything going on behind the
scenes and opening all of that up to the public
so everyone can have trust in them, because that's fundamentally
regardless of whether an election is full of problems or not.
When it comes to devoting machines, if people believe that
there's a problem, then it taints the outcome of the election,

(01:14:36):
regardless of whether there was one or not. And so
this is a really good thing, regardless of whether you
think voting machines were a huge problem, and obviously a
lot of people think that, But regardless of whether you
think that, this is great because we need more transparency
so that people have greater trust in our elections, because
that's a huge problem right now.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
I want to bring up another issue, and that is
the government shut down and the I'm getting a lot
of email from people saying, how is it possible that
in a government shut down, the people that will never
be affected are the people responsible for the shutdown, I e.
Congress justin how is it possible that we are in

(01:15:15):
a place where they get paid but a bunch of
other people aren't.

Speaker 9 (01:15:21):
Well, I've been asking myself that question for a long time.
I mean, we have these government shutdowns or threats of
government shutdowns every year. Every year, something like this happens
or almost happens, sometimes multiple times a year, and at
the end of the day, the elites who are making
the rules are going to be taken care of, and

(01:15:42):
it's everybody else who hangs in the balance. And it's
completely insane. And all of the stems from the fact
that they just can't pass regular budgets like every other
functioning organization in the world. Why is that because they
ultimately are playing politics and they're not doing the right
thing for people. And until the voters stand up and say,

(01:16:04):
we're just gonna you need to pass an actual budget,
get together and pass an actual budget. Do it every
single year, or you're gone until that happens, and until
we have a sustainable path for reducing the national debt
and things like that, which is also a huge part
of this conversation. This is going to continue to happen forever,

(01:16:24):
and politicians fees on the so called crisis that they're
manufacturing to accomplish other goals that have nothing to do
with making people's lives better or not. And that's the problem.
This is just a big political game that happens every
single year, sometimes multiple times a year, and it's the
voters who are allowing it to happen and have to
stand up and say we're done with this.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
That circles back to my long standing complaint that we
just don't have adequate messaging on the right to inform
people that we don't have to do it this way.

Speaker 9 (01:16:56):
No, we don't, we don't have to do it this way.
We don't have to play these games. And I think
sometimes we do need to allow the Kaffermant to just
shut down for a while. I g's what it takes
to get a permanent deal in place, a permanent process
that prevents this from happening in the future. Just let
it get shut down and let's solve the problem permanently. Instead,

(01:17:17):
we're always worried about trying to win the next news
cycle instead of just do the right thing for the
long term good of the country.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
I'm curious if Congress wasn't paid during a lockdown, do
you think we'd have them a shutdown.

Speaker 9 (01:17:30):
Rather no, No, I do not think that.

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
I don't think we would have it.

Speaker 9 (01:17:36):
I don't think so at all. No, I think there
are a lot of self interested people in Washington, DC,
not just the actual members of Congress themselves, but their
staff and other people who would make sure that those
these shutdowns don't happen.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
It just seems to me that there are just a
few members of Congress in both the House and the
Senate that this would be the perfect time to strike
while the attention is on the shutdown and it grows
with every day the shutdown lasts to say we're going
to put forth legislation that Congress doesn't get paid in
a government shutdown, I think it would have an immense

(01:18:12):
impact on, if nothing else, the public perception of these things.
If if they took advantage of this opportunity but am
I asking too much, well.

Speaker 9 (01:18:24):
They'll they'll be surely punished for doing that. There will
be retribution from leadership. That's kind of how these things
work is you know, if you hold if you hold
your own side accountable to too accountable, then you know
you you risk losing out on committee spots, You risk
you risk losing funding in the next election. Uh, it's

(01:18:46):
you know, it's a dangerous game to do something like that,
but is that what should happen. Yeah, that's probably what
should happen because it would signal to the American people
what's really going on here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
I love it. Justin congrats on the on the Bump
at Heart an Institute Vice president now policy and I
can't think of anybody better to put it all in
the hands of. So thanks very much for your time again,
Thank you, sir. All Right, Justin Haskins with us this
morning here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott Money

(01:19:24):
Talk in just a few minutes. But first, the big
stories in the press box. Got a Blue City Street
takeover the apparently drag racing that turned into a let's

(01:19:48):
just attack police event. But we're going to stay focused
on what we zeroed in on here. You've got the
aftermath of the Israeli Hamas deal where we're waiting to
see what Hamas is going to do in fulfilling its obligations.

(01:20:13):
You know, it's leadership issuing a statement with the agreement,
sort of lecturing and it's like, you are the guys
that started this and this isn't I just want to
remind everybody. This is not a war. And I would
never have done what Israel did in response to this.

(01:20:33):
And by that, I'm not talking about the actions. They
did everything that they were supposed to do and needed
to do in response to the attacks. I'm talking about
the negotiation. I would never have given up two thousand terrorists.
I just I mean, is the math about right? You know,

(01:20:59):
for every hostage, you know, you you've got what one
hundred terrorists? Maybe? But I think that math's wrong. I don't.
I don't think one terrorist is worth a life. They're

(01:21:20):
just not worth it. I would I just wouldn't be
I would say, okay, we'll give up twenty that we
pick for twenty of our of our hostages. We'll go
one for one. How about that? But we're not going
one hundred for one. But it's not my call to make.

(01:21:41):
It's it's not our call to make. It's it's I mean, candidly,
it's not even Trump's call to make. That. That's Israel's
call to make. And I understand from a visual perspective,
You've you've got to make whatever deal you can to
get those who are surviving out alive. I get that
they've suffered for two years with these animals. But let's

(01:22:05):
not forget this was no act of war that Hamas
engaged in. This was a terrorist act, and it is
different than a prisoner of war exchange. But the fact
that you've got people like CNN's Christian I'm impoorer saying

(01:22:26):
that Israeli's prisoners were treated better than Gossin's is a joke.
She has since, because of the pushback and the blowback,
apologize for her shortsighted and insensitive remarks. Yeah you think,

(01:22:47):
and she prepared her remarks. Those are remarks on a teleprompter.
And then you've got Leslie Stall out there saying in
an interview of a a released hostage, did Humas really
intend to starve you? Or was it just they just

(01:23:08):
didn't have food to give out? You're kidding me, right
the reality? No, you're not. We're not kidding. That's how
completely detached and removed from reality these people are because
they are so biased in their alleged journalism. The other

(01:23:31):
big story in the press box is a film an
inconvenience study that goes back to a twenty sixteen encounter
between a filmmaker and a health journalist named Del Big
Tree and a doctor Marcus Zervos, infectious disease director at

(01:23:53):
henry Ford Health in Detroit. They came to an agreement
to do a study on vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, with
doctor Zervos demanding that whatever the results they get published.
Except that the results were not published. He buried him
and he's admitted on an undercover camera. Y and the

(01:24:14):
study is damning to vaccines of children. Forty minutes past
the hour, we got money talk up next.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
Time for a little money talk with investment advisor Howard
Eisaman with Enhanced Financial Services Securities and advisory services offered
through NBC Securities Inc. Member finnern SIPC. NBC Securities Inc.
Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA. The
opinions expressed are not those of NBC Securities Inc. Or iHeartMedia.

(01:24:52):
On appropriate matters, seek professional tax and our legal advice. Why, Howard,
the government shut down? What do we see in the
impact of that in the economy?

Speaker 10 (01:25:14):
Great question, Preston. You know, so everyone knows the government
was officially shut down, although obviously some agencies are still
doing their job, perhaps not, you know, with all the
employees as before, but you know, and that all happened

(01:25:34):
on October first, and you got to go back to
I think and take a look at the shutdown that
occurred during President Trump's first term that was thirty four
days and the sixth prior shutdowns, most of them didn't
last more than a day Preston, and during the median

(01:25:56):
performance even of the longest one, you had had an
average gain of about six point six percent if you're
referring to how the market's did, And the market's actually
gained in five of the six shutdowns, So I think
it's kind of a nothing burger in terms of how
the market at least responds to it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
You know, one of the issues that is driving this
that you know, Democrats are posturing it one way, Republicans
are posturing at another is the issue of health care.
The debate rages on whether American taxpayers should be paying
for health insurance for illegal immigrants in this country, but
it doesn't mask the fact that healthcare concerns and costs

(01:26:42):
are a big part of what is driving our economy
good and bad.

Speaker 10 (01:26:46):
Absolutely, it's a very significant cost Many of our fellow citizens.
So without the current subsidies and tax credits, the twenty
four million folks Americans that you know are on the
Affordable Care Act or commonly known as Obamacare, could see

(01:27:10):
they're yearly premiums it's projected double from about nine hundred
dollars to nineteen hundred dollars. And for the rest of us,
for many of us who are on employer sponsored plans,
the twenty twenty six premiums preston are forecasted increase by

(01:27:32):
about six and a half percent. That's the increased cost
projective for this next year, and that would be the
largest increase since twenty ten. So healthcare, I think is
always going to be one of those issues that's going
to be paramount for many people and many families.

Speaker 1 (01:27:51):
What you know, I noticed that silver has gone up
roughly one hundred and fifty plus percent in the last
several years.

Speaker 10 (01:27:59):
What about Well, you know, gold tends to lead the
way in silver head lag behind, and here in recent days,
silver seems to be rallying even more than gold. But
gold is now pressing. Gold has now gone up for
eight straight quarters. It's rallied by more than double. It's

(01:28:20):
up about one hundred and ten percent for its largest
eight quarter. It's two years gained going back all the
way to the beginning in nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
My goodness.

Speaker 10 (01:28:34):
Yeah, and it's not shocking. I mean, there are things
going on around the world that are concerning. There's some
economic uphevil and political upheaval in many countries, particularly now
in Europe, I would say, And so in central banks

(01:28:55):
we ought to point this out, not just here around
the world, whether it's our central bank in the US,
are in China. They're buyers of gold. They're not buyers,
they're not nest sellers. So we've seen this is amongst
the strongest streaking gold for some time. It's more than
again doubled in the last year and a half, and

(01:29:18):
I suspect it will continue to do uh pretty well here,
even even if we see a pause or two along
the way, because I don't think uncertainty is suddenly going
to disappear next week.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
Howard, thanks as always for the intel. Appreciate the time.

Speaker 10 (01:29:37):
Absolutely have Greg day President.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Thank you, sir. All right, Howard Eisman with us a
couple of times each month with money talk. I think
it's time to go to Alaska get a pan a
little water stake. Acclaim gold is just I mean, you're
going to see it. You're going to see more TV shows,
more people are going with or without TV. You're gonna
see more people go panting, I promise. Forty seven past

(01:30:01):
the hour. Well, we've had quite a week already and

(01:30:21):
we're just two days in. Tomorrow in the program No
Way Jose Also tomorrow on the program, Erica Avarian will
join us. Erica is executive director of the Florida Foundation
for Correctional Excellence. I used to serve on the board

(01:30:47):
with the foundation, and I'm still going to support the
mission of helping with the Department of Directions reduce recidivism.
You know, we have the correction Secretary on We've had

(01:31:09):
Joe Winkler, who is Assistant Secretary Community Corrections. The idea
is that if we don't form a practical plan for
men and women coming out of custody of state prisons

(01:31:34):
and they recidivate, we have not solved the thing. There
will be more victims, there will be more cost to taxpayers,
and we've accomplished nothing. Twenty plus thousand inmates are going
to be released in Florida this year and every year

(01:31:56):
give or take. Sometimes it's more. Sometimes it might be
a tick less, but the idea is we need to
do something. So tomorrow we're going to talk about an
organization that's working with DOC, but outside of DOC, people
all over the state joining up and trying to do things.
And I think you're going to be blown away at

(01:32:18):
what's being done. What's been done today, of course, is
Charlie Kirk. The vigil downtown at the State Capitol at
six o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
We started the day with Romans one, sixteen and seventeen.
That is where we began the radio broadcast, as we
are wont to do with scripture each and every morning.
Today we spend some time remembering honoring Charlie Kirk's birthday.

(01:33:02):
I don't know if ten thousand of us in our
lifetime will have the impact Charlie had in thirty one
years of his life. And I would say that even

(01:33:24):
to a greater degree than Rush, Charlie's impact is going
to last because of the legacy left behind his wife,
his children, his friends, the thousands and thousands of chapters
of turning Point USA that had been birthed. That was

(01:33:49):
just part of what we discussed today. We also had
a great discussion with Justin Haskins, Howard Eisman, of course
money talk, a manly minute, and of course the big
stories in the press box. Friends, thanks for joining us,
have a great day.
