(00:15):
Good day. Welcome Tuesday, Aprilthirtieth on the Morning Show with President Scott.
Great to be with you me.Let me tell you something, as
I get older, those words havenever been more sincere than they are each
and every day now. Great tobe among the living, even if the
(00:39):
times we are in are just surreal. Where are the adults at Columbia University?
Where are the adults? We'll talkabout that. He's great, Alan,
(01:00):
I'm Preston. It is the finalday of the month of April,
and then we will transition to themonth of May, which means, of
course, we are one month shortof the official start of hurricane season,
and we'll get to all the prognosticationsand so forth in the in the weeks
to come, Show fifty one fortyeight. Starting with scripture Ephesians four fifteen,
(01:23):
rather speaking the truth and love,we are to grow up in every
way into Him who is the headChrist. If you couldn't hear it in
(01:45):
my voice, I kind of underscoredgrow up speaking the truth and love,
we are to grow up into Christ. I say this recognizing that we all
(02:14):
have different paths in our life,and we all are at different places,
and we are all under construction.It is my firm contention that I will
be under construction until the day Idie. It is a constant process of
(02:38):
refinement. And the fires come andthe impurities that are in us are usually
boiled to the surface through the fires, and hopefully we allow God to scrape
them away, and we are abetter version of ourselves after we go through
(02:59):
the various trials. But in allsincerity, the body of Christ, and
if I may personalize it, eachof you who call yourself a Christian,
we all need to grow up.And if you look around and survey America
(03:30):
today, look all I can dofor the rest of the world is pray.
Unless you consider that a revived Americareverberates around the world. It does
(03:57):
National Day of Prayer coming up Thursday. If my people will humble themselves and
pray and turn from their sins,God says he'll hear us, because when
you confess your sins before God,we suddenly are heard again. If you
(04:26):
have sin in your life and you'repraying and praying and praying without dealing with
that sin, your prayers are bouncingoff walls. You got to get that
out of the way. And thenGod says he'll heal our land. He'll
hear those prayers and he'll heal ourland. Now, I think that we've
(04:49):
got too many people that wander intochurch on Sunday and they leave and check
out, spend no time talking aboutGod, talking with God. It's as
if we don't really feed our spiritbut once a week and we leave it
(05:12):
to the guy preaching to do that. It just it's time to grow up.
You know, when we were children, babies, mom, dad fed
us, literally got the little jarin the spoon and fed us. But
then as we grew older, welearned to feed ourselves. But we seem
(05:35):
to just be trapped in this mindsetof being fed God's word and we don't
feed ourselves. So my challenge comingfrom this verse is to grow up into
Christ. Ten minutes after the HoursThe Morning Show with Preston's Kind and This
(06:00):
is the Morning Show with Preston ScottApril thirtieth. April thirtieth, seventeen eighty
(06:24):
nine, George Washington took office asthe first President of the United States.
You know, I think a lotof us don't really connect the dots that.
Okay, we declared our independence inseventeen seventy six, and it would
(06:47):
be thirteen years ye, well justshort of thirteen years later before we had
our first president. It's kind ofkind of crazy because I think we feel
the proximity is just tighter that youknow, by two or three four years
after the declaration, we George Washingtonwas president. It took a while,
(07:12):
took a while to get all that, and then we still had to deal
with the War of eighteen twelve.In his inaugural address, he began his
duties giving thanks to God for theblessings the new country had received during the
revolution and making the constitution. Andyou know, there's excerpts of his inaugural
(07:32):
address here in front of me.I'll spare you that for now, and
just say the president was keenly awareof God's hand. The founders were keenly
aware of God's hand on the eventsthat created a path for our independence as
(07:54):
a nation. I almost sensed Godsaying, Okay, now, what are
you going to do with it?And if you will, I want to
tie that back to how we startedthe show our a little devotionals. So
what are we doing with it?Right now? We're frittering it away.
We're just it's it's this nation isdissolving, the foundational precepts of this country
(08:24):
are being eroded, and God hasa plan in the midst of all of
it. I think we're watching God'sword unfold around us each and every day.
But the charge to be a goodsteward of what God's given us does
(08:46):
not change. God's not out theregoing oh well in this case, no,
no, no no. Also onthis date, eighteen oh three,
United States concludes negotiations with France forthe Louisiana purchase. Doubled the size of
the country for fifteen million dollars.Do you imagine that's just crazy? If
(09:11):
I'm not mistaken. Wasn't that largelydue to Napoleon's war and the need for
funding. He needed money at thatpoint. He he didn't care much about
what was going on here. Francehad helped us gain our independence, but
they needed funds, and so,yeah, fifteen million back in the day,
(09:35):
bought a few muskets, some cannonballs. Eighteen twelve, Louisiana becomes the
eighteenth state. Just nine years afterthat, lou Garrett plays his last game
with the Yankees, ending his streakof twenty one one hundred and thirty games
played consecutively. That was in nineteenthirty nine. On that very same day,
FDR becomes the first president to appearon TV as he opens the World's
(09:58):
Fair in New York City. Andon this date, in nineteen seventy five,
the last Americans evacuate Saigon in SouthVietnam and surrenders to the viet Cong.
So there you go, this statein history. Come back. We're
going to take you back to MountVernon. A mystery has unfolded at the
(10:18):
First President's home. All right,I think they've made a mistake. Archaeologists
(10:46):
working at Mount Vernon revitalization project.Can you think about this? They have
discovered some thing of the first firstfamily that had not been found before.
(11:07):
They've uncovered it. This is crazywhen you think, I mean, I've
been underneath Mount Vernon, I've I'vebeen in the in this kind of their
their cellar, their their basement,if you will, the underground storage areas
(11:31):
that they had there. They wereexcavating an area for this revitalization and they
found two glass bottles filled with whatthey call a mysterious liquid. I'm assuming
the bottles were corked sealed in somefashion Nick Beard, one of the archaeola
(12:00):
just found the top of a bottle, then the whole bottle. Then noticed
a second bottle and the liquid wasinside has survived three centuries. Now.
They think that they were filled withcherries. They think the bottles were originally
(12:24):
filled with cherries. They believe theywere placed in the ground between seventeen fifty
eight and seventeen seventy six to refrigerate, because that's how you kept things somewhat
preserved, quoting for whatever reason,they were left behind in pristine condition.
It's such an extraordinary fine because youjust don't find eighteenth century food remains intact
(12:48):
outside of things like animal bones,which are pretty durable, said the principal
archaeologist for Mount Vernon, Jason Burrows. One of the best ways to store
these types of fruits and vegetables wasunderground. So sometime after seventeen fifty eight,
but before seventeen seventy six, someonedug a pit sort of rectangular,
about a foot deep, a holethrough one of the floors in the cellar,
(13:15):
and these bottles were set in.Then that was filled with dense clay.
Now Here is where I'm going toask the question. The orange liquid
was poured out of the bottles andtransferred to the new containers to be examined.
(13:35):
Historians believe the discovery will not onlyshed light on how food was preserved
at Mount Vernon, but also newdetails about slavery on the plantation. Okay,
whatever, not sure what that's about. But here's my bigger question.
Forget the political correctness of that statement, because well, I'm just I would
(14:01):
have poured out a fraction of oneof the bottles and then resealed it and
left the other one untouched, andI would have put that on display at
Mount Vernon. That would have beencool. That would have been But they've
dumped I wouldn't have done that.Why would you do that? Why would
(14:24):
you not preserve for all time?It's like, okay, I have over
here in my studio, my studioslike the ultimate man cave of a radio
studio. I got pictures, memorabilia, I got just my bobble head collection.
(14:48):
I got stuff. It's just sillystuff, but it's stuff. But
sitting over there is a let's GoBrandon chocolate bar. It's untouched, it's
preserved. Perhaps one hundred and fiftyyears from now, someone's going to come
(15:20):
across that, let's go Brandon Chocolatebar, and they're gonna go Wow,
insight, who is Brandon? What'sthat about? And in an entire world
of history will open up a nuance. People were making chocolate bars celebrating Brandon.
(15:41):
Huh. See the insights that youcan get by preserving food. Big
Story's next. It's the Morning Showwith Preston Scott on news Radio one hundred
point seven WFLA Big Stories of thepress Box brought to you by Rova Creative
(16:11):
Marketing and digital expertise. Administrators atColumbia gave protesters a deadline of two o'clock
yesterday and of course did nothing,And so now protesters have taken over a
(16:41):
building. There are reports of somebeing basically held there against their will,
not being allowed to leave. Thatis the definition of kidnapping, false imprisonment,
(17:02):
however it's worded. George Soros isfunding all of this. At campuses
across the country. They are insistingon Hamilton Hall that they've taken over to
be called Hines or Hen's Hall inhonor of a seven year old Palestinian girl
(17:25):
who was killed and that surely isa tragedy. They are demanding full,
complete immunity for their actions. They'vestormed a building, They've destroyed property,
(17:49):
they have likely committed assault and falseimprisonment or kidnapping by not allowing people to
leave the building that we're there.If those reports are accurate, and they're
demanding full immunity, whatever, thisis failed leadership on display. Now.
(18:15):
To connect a little bit to this, I spent some time yesterday looking at
something called Screams Before Silence. Theformer COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg,
produced and created this documentary that isavailable on YouTube. It does come with
(18:38):
parental guidance strongly demanded i'd I've placedit on my blog page with a short
commentary that I wrote along with it. You can't watch it on my blog
page, but it will take youto the video where you can see it,
(19:00):
because it's one of those videos thatrequires you to say, yes,
I'm willing to see this content.This will explain why Israel is not going
to stop now. I don't honestlycare whether you agree or disagree with them.
I really don't. They're not goingto stop. I personally believe they
(19:25):
shouldn't because what Hamas did on Octoberseventh and in the time subsequent where they've
likely killed almost all the hostages isunspeakable. This was not resistance, military
resistance. Stop raping children, kids, girls, women, That's not resistance.
(19:57):
And that's why I'm starting to losemy patience with all this protest stuff.
I'm grateful in Florida we're not havingany of it. We're just not.
But I challenge you to go lookat the documentary and then tell me
(20:17):
what you think. It's on theblog page WFLA FM dot com, WFLA
Panama City dot com, slash Preston. Just look for my picture on the
web page, Click it and you'llbe taken there. It right now is
in the lead position on both webpages. You can go and click it
right there and you can see itfor yourself. Immunity suspension give me a
(20:42):
break there. First of all,everybody there needs to be arrested and charged
for whatever the crime might be.Then you separate out the ones that are
not students. Then you go afterGeorge Soros, and honestly, I think
you're arrest him. These are criminalactions taking place on these college campuses.
(21:07):
And the second you can link onedollar of George Soros to one of these
illegal acts. You arrest him backwith more in the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. It's the Morning Show withPreston Scott. Let me be clear.
(21:30):
It was pointed out that, youknow, if people judged America right now
and all of us based on theactions of Joe Biden and liberals and weak
Rhinos, you walk away with prettybad opinion of America. There are some
(21:51):
peace loving, live and let livePalestinians, plenty of them. Sadly,
the ruling party sort of like theruling party in America, the Mono Party,
and then the I liberals, leftists, democrats give the rest of us
a really bad name. There aregood and decent Palestinians, and Israel is
(22:15):
not without fault. Look, I'veread the Bible. I know it's history.
No nation, because nations are fullof people, and people are not
perfect. People are fallen, they'resinful at their core. We all are.
(22:36):
Israel's not perfect. But if youwant to understand why Israel's not going
to stop, just look at thevideo. Just hear what happened. This
was not a a an impressed peoplein the military rising up against a military
of no They targeted civilians, that'snot military, that's terrorism. The acts
(23:04):
of nine to eleven was not amilitary attack. It was terrorism. This
is terrorism. Israel is not goingto stop real quickly. CNN got to
be hemorrhaging right now in their brain. Biden's presidency CNN poll sixty one percent,
(23:25):
Biden's presidency of failure. Trump's presidencyfifty five percent of success. Right
now again, CNN polling. Headto head, Trump leads Biden by six.
Interesting that in a with all theother candidates, Trump leads Biden by
(23:48):
nine. Trump loses some to othercandidates, but not as much as Biden.
It's just kind of interesting. Nowthere's a story floating around Florida,
and here's the headline. Miami DadeLGBTQ caucus blames Florida GOP for trans murder
(24:11):
in Miami Beach. The Flamingo Democrats, a LGBTQ caucus from Miami Dade,
blamed the Republican Party for the deathof Andrea des Passos, thirty seven year
old homeless trans woman of man.Constant brag of attacks, brage of attacks
(24:33):
and hate towards the trans community comingthrough the Republican Party and Republican government is
in bolded those who want to causethem harm. Blah blah blah, blah
blah. But then here's the truth. Police, Miami Beach Police. No
evidence alludes to the fact that thiswas a hate crime. The evidence does
not allude to the fact that thedefendant was targeted based on her his sexual
(24:59):
orientation, or what we do knowis that the offender was a very violent
individual and should not have been onour streets. There's a story and then
there's the truth. You've got toalways remember that. It's why we occasionally
(25:22):
on this show, well frequently onthis show, will not react and talk
about a given story immediately. We'llwait. You can you hear newscasts at
the top and bottom of every hour, that's the news. We sometimes will
let things marinate for a little bitand see what we learn, because there
(25:45):
are operatives out there, like herelocally in Tallahassee, you've got local commissioners
and their sycophant aids that are tryingto stir up trouble and misrepresent and in
the case of one police officer,edit tape to try to influence a jury
or a trial or a proceeding orpublic opinion. And they're dishonest and they're
(26:07):
wrong. I wish they'd be suedfor slander. I wish they'd be sued
for their actions, for their words, But that's for somebody else to decide.
But my point is, there isthe story and then there is the
truth. Forty six minutes after thehour, back with a you gotta be
kidding me from New York Next,Welcome to The Morning Show with Preston scott
(26:41):
By. Now, perhaps you've heardthe story of Sandra Doriley, Monroe County,
New York District Attorney. Have youseen the video of her? Oh
(27:03):
my gosh, police in Webster,New York. Officer follows her because she
won't pull over. She's going fiftyfive through a thirty five. He's running
(27:30):
sirens, lights, is behind her. She won't pull over. She goes
home. I watched this entire encounteron video the camera of the officer.
I'm the DA of Monroe County.I don't really care. You know what,
if you give me a traffic ticket, that's fine. I'm the one
(27:52):
that prosecutes it. Okay, justgo ahead and do it. Go ahead,
go ahead, He repeatedly says,ma'am, why are you so angry?
I'm doing my job. So shecalls the chief of police and was
(28:17):
on the phone with Dennis, tellinghim, why are you pulling me over?
Sorry, I'm the DA. Iwas going fifty five coming home from
work, fifty five and the thirtyfive. The officer responded, I don't
care. She said, can youplease tell him the chief? Can you
please tell him to leave me alone? She says to the chief, hands
(28:41):
the phone to the officer, says, this is ridiculous. Just go away.
She proceeds to go back inside herhouse. She said, ma'am,
come outside. You can't just goinside. This is a traffic stop.
Listen, I know the law betterthan you. Would you just leave?
Would you just leave me alone?So she releases a statement. Later,
(29:06):
the Webster police officer followed me tomy house, issued me a speeding ticket
fifty five and a thirty five.I acknowledged that I was speeding. I
accepted the ticket. No, that'snot what you did. You're a liar.
She is a complete and total,one hundred percent jerk and a complete
and total liar. He called theofficer polite as can be calls a supervisor.
(29:37):
The DA can be heard saying,no, get the bleeping out.
Get out of my bleeping house.Do you know what I've been dealing with
all day? Three homicides in thecity. Do you really think I care
that I was going twenty miles overthe speed limit. I didn't think anyone
would pull over a black suv ifyou'd run my plate, you'd find out.
(30:00):
Find out what that you're The DAsupervisor comes comes out and says,
look, this is your deal.Do what you need to do. He
said, she came home. Thisis an arrestable offense. They should have
(30:22):
arrested her. They should have throwncuffs on her and let the public decide
if she should keep her job.Personally, in New York it will personally
in most states, she'd be removedfrom her job. She'd be suspended at
the very least. But this isNew York, where they prosecute other people
for other things. This is theelite thinking they are better and above the
(30:52):
law. It was if you seethe video, it's just it's price priceless.
All right, when we come back, I want to take some calls
eight five zero two zero five toBFLA. Should salaried workers get paid over
time? Should salary workers get paidovertime call me Second hour Morning Show with
(31:27):
Preston's got high. I'm Preston,He's grant. I did not do a
very good job setting up this segment. We are taking phone calls. Story
we shared yesterday. I just feltdeserved more time. Biden administration once and
has enacted a new rule, whichof course means they bypass Congress. They're
(31:49):
doing what they want by executive fiat. Starting July first, salaried workers making
less than forty three to eight willbe entitled to overtime if they work more
than forty hours a week. Thethreshold rises in twenty twenty five. It
eventually rises to even those making fromone hundred and seven to one hundred and
(32:13):
thirty two thousand, further adjustments everythree years. Blah blah blah. I
want to hear from you who aresalaried workers and those that aren't salaried workers.
I want to hear from business owners. First of all, I just
(32:35):
want to point out this is moreJoe Biden telling you how you have to
live your life, how you haveto run your business, how you have
to fill in the blank. Butlet's get to the overarching issue here.
Is that appropriate eight five zero twozero five WSLA eight five zero two zero
(33:00):
five ninety three fifty two. Ialways felt like if you accepted a job,
you accepted what the pay was,and if it was salary, you
accept that what comes with a guaranteedpaycheck versus an hourly wage, and sometimes
(33:21):
you work some extra hours. Thoseare things you negotiate when you're working on
your contract. But that's what Ithink. What do you think? Eight
five zero two zero five to bFLA, Gary, thanks for calling in,
Hey, good morning. Before Icomment real quick, just want to
say thanks to our vice president andthese college students. We have proven that
(33:44):
half of the people that go tocollege have academics and academic intelligence, but
no common sense. Fair enough,Okay, I've been on the spectrum.
I've been on salary since the latenineties. Three ends of the spectrum,
low salary salary with Chick fil A, and then salary and better paying jobs,
(34:07):
much better paying jobs like I havenow. For the low end salary
employees your Burger Kings, your Windy'splaces like that, fast food managers,
yeah, they need that overtime atsome point because they just don't get you
know, you can end up workingsixty hours a week and off of salary.
(34:30):
It should be based off of maybea forty eight hour work week,
and you just get screwed. Butcan I ask you, I ask a
question? Can I ask you aquestion going into that type of going into
that type of work, do youknow the expectation? In other words,
do they say, hey, youmight be working fifty sixty hours a week
(34:52):
or do they not disclose that?Typically? And I've been a district manager
in that group too, and typicallyyou kind of lure those young managers in
there, and unless they're just reallypossessed some dynamic coaching and management skills to
build the right team, they're gonnaend up working a lot of hours.
(35:14):
And you do that because you haveto have a budget within the store.
Now, chick bil a, mostchick bilas, including the ones I were
involved in, say okay, we'regoing to pay you, you know,
sixty thousand dollars a year. Butthen they figure out what that breaks down
to at an hourly rate, andthey pay you on an hourly rate.
(35:36):
So if you end up working overtime, you make overtime, so they do
you. Well, Now I'm ata different type of job level where I'm
in a salary sales manager and Imake almost one hundred grand a year,
and I don't care that I workfifty five to sixty hours a week because
I love my job. All right, let me let me just ask this
(35:58):
quick question. I gotta go.Would the government be telling businesses that they
have to pay overtime or is thatup to the business and the marketplace and
the worker and the boss. Ithink each state should handle it on a
state level. I don't think thegovernment should have anything any control in each
state. Thank you, Gary,appreciate that, Jeff, mark your next
eight five zero two zero five WFLA. I'm not here to argue one way
(36:22):
or the other. I've never beena business owner. I've been a salaried
employee. I've been an hourly employee. I've always felt like I knew what
I was doing when I agreed tobe a salaried employee and signed a contract.
Eight five zero two zero five WFLAyour calls. Love to hear from
(36:43):
you, Jeff. You're next onthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Good
morning, and welcome to the MorningShow with Preston Scott. Love to hear
from hourly employees. You do youlike the idea of the government telling businesses
(37:07):
not just wages now, but butsalary. People, you got to pay
them hourly for overtime anyway? Eightfive zero two zero five WFLA, Jeff,
(37:28):
Hey, how are you doing?I'm good man. What do you
think? Well? I used topay my employees salary. And then one
time they had a little union action, you know, kind of like a
little impromptu union action, and theyall got together and said, we want
to be paid for every minute thatwe're working. And I acquiesced and said
(37:52):
okay, and I did what theyasked, and all their holidays went away,
and all of their sick days wentaway, and I gave them exactly
what they asked for. They wantedto be paid for every minute they were
working, and uh, it didn'twork out well for them. How many
(38:15):
of those people are still working foryou? Probably? Seven? Do they
regret their actions? Oh? Whenyou when you when they when they look
at it, it's like, uh, I think we had it pretty good.
We should have we should have realizedthat, uh eight holidays and uh,
(38:42):
you know, sick days and andyou know, I need to go
to the doctor this afternoon and allthat type of thing. They realized,
Oh, I think we had itpretty good. Do you foresee a time
when you'll go back to salary downthe road now, just just just for
several long term key people. Inother words, yeah, the the none
(39:04):
whiners, Ye benefited from it.The whiners, uh went by the way
son, Yeah, the others mightbe given management positions at salary. Yeah,
got you fair enough? Thank you, Jeff, appreciate your insight.
Mark, you're up. What's yourtake? How you doing, sir?
Good? Well, I remember whenI I'm about your age. You know.
(39:28):
I got out of high school inseventy nine. I started a job
at Burger King. I was makinga whole dollar ten an hour, come
home, and I worked my wayup. I got to be a manager
and I got on salary and Iwas making a two hundred dollars a week,
and I thought it was pretty good. I mean, the taxes that
(39:52):
were a little lowered and getting paidby the hour. I mean it was,
but I had I had to worksixty seventy hours a week too,
right. Yeah, So that wasjust my thoughts on that. Do you
like the idea of the government sayingweighing in on this and telling employers they
have to pay salaried workers overtime.No, I do not like. And
(40:15):
I walk into a McDonald's at sixtytwo years old and I got to stand
there for half an hour to geta cheeseburger from somebody making fifteen dollars an
hour. Fair enough, Mark,Thanks very much. I appreciate you taking
time to share with us your thoughts. Let's go to John. Hi,
(40:35):
John, thanks for calling into theMorning show. What are your thoughts on
this whole salary getting overtime? Thatwas it? I'm sorry I missed the
part. So I've worked on bothsalary or sixty hours by Wednesday Thursday,
when they have to pay you bythe hour, you still make equivalent money,
but you just don't work it long. So do you like the idea
(41:01):
of the government mandating overtime hours forsalaried workers even though I mean my go
ahead? I am real. I'msorry. So I don't like the government
reaching into very much. I meanthat they have a specific set of what
they need to do, and that'snot it. But when I was with
the game store, we were salary, and we were sixty by Wednesday early
(41:22):
Thursday when they had to start payingus overtime. That stopped quickly, gotcha?
Hey, John, thanks very much. I appreciate you hanging in there.
Kyle, you're going to be next. When we come back, lines
are ringing. Here's the thing,I just I can't get past this.
You don't have to take the jobthat's offered at the rate, or at
(41:44):
the salary, or at the hourlywage that it's offered. You don't have
to take it. I just I'mstruggling with this. At first, it's
Biden weighing in and controlling more stuff, but more calls eight five zero two,
here's zero five to b FLA.Should salaried workers receive over time pay?
(42:19):
I think that's what you negotiate ifyou're a salaried worker, that you
either will or you will not whatthose hours will be reasonably limited to.
But that's just me Kyle. Thanksfor being some patient. What do you
think of all this mess? Well, Preston, First of all, I
really appreciate you putting this out ofhere in this morning. I enjoy listening
(42:43):
to you US. I think thatthe salary workers get what they signed the
contract for. I think that anyextra money they should negotiate it. Upfront.
Until I got my education finished,I worked a lot of hourly working
jobs or he didn't make much money. And now pretty much since I was
(43:05):
gotten out of the military, it'sall been salary. And I've climbed the
ladder. And you know, yougot to remember that the bennies that you
get, I know, within thejob I am now, they're estimated to
be thirty percent of my salary.So I sure would once that that one
gentleman talked about stopping all the sickly, even in the vacation time, that's
(43:27):
actually a substantial part of your salary. Yeah, but I do have But
I do have one question. IfI'm not mistaken, all the military is
on salary too, how's that goingto work out? Yeah, it's a
great question. You know, there'sthis is just a new a new rule
that the administration is has put inplace. I don't know if they're taking
(43:49):
into account the military or not.Okay, well, it's it's just this
once again, it's it's by aman who's only business that's ever been in
his extortion. So we can figureon this coming through. Thank you,
Kyle, I appreciate it. Thankyou for your thoughts. Let's go to
John. John, thanks for callingin. Hey, good morning, Preston.
(44:09):
Not only should there not be thegovernment shouldn't be worried about salaried workers
getting overtime. I don't think thereshould be a minimum wage. Uh that
should be. I worry about peoplewho want the government to negotiate their jobs
and what their pay should be.That you should you should be able to
(44:31):
do that when you start with theoutfit. And now I'm a salaried worker
and I don't. Some weeks Iput in a lot of hours and some
weeks I don't, and it's awash. But I knew that going in.
So but no, the government shouldn'tbe in especially Biden. Appreciate it.
John. Let's go one more callerhere. This is Jimmy. Hi,
(44:52):
Jimmy, thanks for calling in,Hey, Preston. How was one
good? I was just on atouch base on it. I'm a sorry
worker working manufacturing and there's no likeman, your phone's breaking up on me
with just a demand that we meetand just to negotiate your hours is what
(45:14):
I was going to say. Gotyou if you are, if you're getting
that position, you can give anhour expectation of forty five hours a week,
or sit down at lead just beforeyou get the job, because if
not, they can and will workyou seventy eighty hours a week for nothing.
All right, sir, thank you, Jimmy. I appreciate you calling
in and sharing your thoughts. Ijust I feel like the marketplace. You
(45:39):
know. You know one of theearly callers that talked about working in the
food industry for years and how heworked as a manager with one chain and
then with the other chain. Menhe mentioned Chick fil A, how it
was a very different structure and muchmore shall we say, profitable. That's
(46:08):
the marketplace. Being a manager ata Chick fil A's probably a more coveted
job than being a manager at oneof the other chains for the very reasons
that he mentioned. The other changewill have this choice to make either pay
(46:30):
more for better quality management and toretain those people, or keep doing what
they're doing. But this forced overtimething where you're gonna pay salaried workers,
you know, there's a reason whyyou you offer someone a salary job.
Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna expectmore responsibility, but they're gonna be compensated
with better benefits usually and better overallwages and a certain wage, like many
(46:58):
have mentioned. I think that's whatyou negotiate. But again always remember illiberals,
leftists, government types, and someof those are rhinos. They want
to control your life. They wantto tell you every part of your life,
and in this case, if you'rean employer, they want to tell
you how to employ, what youhave to do. We've got a guest
(47:24):
coming up next hour, David Williams, who's this is what he does.
He's an entrepreneur. I'm gonna gethis thoughts on all this as well.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour,Big stories in the press box. Next,
it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, thirty five minutes
(47:51):
past thirty six minutes past the hour, Tuesday of the Morning Show. Manly
minute a little bit. He's grandI'm Preston. This is Brian Lanis from
Fox News. At Columbia. Thegates going into the university are locked.
Here. The NYPD is outside HamiltonHall, where the students are obviously occupied.
(48:16):
Inside. Now there was chanting assoon as probably like four am.
You could still hear students. Itis quiet. This is what we do
know that at about twelve thirty inthe morning. According to the Columbia Spectator,
which is the on campus student newspaper, students started to we're picketing outside
of Hamilton Hall, that academic building, and that's when a bunch of students
(48:37):
with sleeping bags and gear left thatpicket line and stormed into the building.
Now we go to Doug la Zader. Students have barricaded doors. They've used
tables and chairs and even use zipties to secure those doors. This represents
a significant escalation at a school thathas really been at the center of this
(48:57):
now nationwide protest movement. The protestsany campuses are not letting up, despite
negotiations and often disciplinary threats for demonstratorswho have commandeered parts of these campuses,
and many of there Columbia are demandingnot only did the school divest from any
relationships with Israel, they also wantto make sure that they themselves face no
consequences for their actions. This isClantifa East. This is the exact scenario.
(49:36):
Now, if I were to askyou what most of you think about
this, you would probably say thisis ridiculous. Bring in the police if
needed, the National Guard, arrestthem, throw them in jail, kick
them out of school, let themexplain to their mommies and daddies why they're
out of school. Take the masksoff, Let's see who they are.
(50:00):
Let's let let their families bask inthe glory of their protests. And let's
separate the students from the agitators.And let's see where the agitators are coming
from. Let's see how they're gettingpaid. Let's see if there's a connection
to George Soros, and if thereis a paid connection to George, let's
(50:23):
arrest him too. When are theadults going to step up and be adults.
It's happening in some colleges in somestates. Hm, New York?
Who runs that state? Oh yeah, illiberals for decades. Is it kind
(50:57):
of interesting how most of these protestsare happening in Democrat run states, Little
snips man. Yeah, if youwant to better understand why Israel is conducting
(51:19):
itself the way it is, Ijust challenge you to go to my blog
page, look at the video,click the link that takes you to YouTube,
where you can then say, yes, I understand the content is graphic,
and yeah, it's difficult. It'sa documentary put together by someone that
(51:39):
was the CEO at Facebook by theway, just saying I don't know what
that says. I'm just saying,but before you start making comments that make
you look uninformed and silly, wellyou know, Israel whatever. Just yeah,
(52:00):
forty minutes past the hour, it'sthe Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All Right, I promised yesterday thatI was going to make a little time
to help you with your credit rating. We are in we're in challenging times,
(52:23):
and I don't know how many howmany young people are being taught and
I'm talking high school, middle schoolon up, I don't know how many
are being taught consumer math. Consumermath is what you got, at least
(52:45):
what I got when I was inschool. Yes, I was in the
other math classes as well, Algebra, algebra one, geometry, TRIG.
I got all that stuff. Ihated most of it. Hated it.
Give me, give me, giveme geomet, give me statistics, give
me anything but algebra in trig,anything anything. Man, I'd rather learn
(53:08):
learn a foreign language than that.But I did. I did make it
through. I did pass. Butconsumer math was the most useful. And
I don't think we're teaching kids creditscores of three hundred to four ninety nine
are poor, five hundred to sixhundred sorry, three hundred to four ninety
(53:32):
nine very poor, five hundred tosix hundred poor, six oh one to
six sixty good, six sixty oneto seven eighty very good, seven eighty
one to eight fifty exceptional. Thoseare your numbers. Now your benefits with
good credit. It helps through yourinsurance rates, yeah, believe it or
(53:58):
not. It helps with your interestrates when you buy a house or a
car. You get better rates whenyou have better credit. So how do
you manage your way to improve yourcredit? Got a few tips here from
(54:20):
an analyst of credit with lending Tree. The best way to improve your credit
score long and short run is topay down your loan balances. But there's
a little nugget here that was interestingto me. Another way, now that
this is really important to pay fullattention, is to increase your balance,
(54:45):
your your credit limit without raising theamount your you're buying on credit. What
that does is it reduces your creditutilization race. For example, if you
have a four thousand dollars limit anda balance of one thousand bucks, your
(55:07):
credit utilization would be twenty five percent. If your lender gives you a two
thousand dollars increase. For example,you're making your payments and your you're fine,
you're not paying late, you're payingon time, you're paying consistently.
They offered to take the bump,Just don't use it because then let's say
(55:30):
you get it bumped to six thousand, Well, your credit utilization then drops
to sixteen percent. That improves yourcredit score. If you have x amount
of credit available but you're only usingthis amount of it, your credit utilization
score percentage is lower and your yourcredit score improves as a result. So
(55:53):
if you get the hey we canraise your credit score, well look into
that. But the most important thingis to pay your debts on time every
time, early or on time everytime. And so there's there's a few
little tips there to help you withyour credit rating. But the just I
(56:17):
beg of you pay attention to aprsand pay more than the minimum. Discipline
yourself, get your debt paid down. Forty six minutes after the air come
back manly minute more. Next,this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott
(56:43):
Morning Ruminators David Williams. It's NationalSmall Business Week and he's an entrepreneur.
He's founder of Team Hired as wellas Fifth Degree Academy. He has built
an eight figure company from the groundup. And we're going to talk about
being a small business owner and beingan entrepreneur and some of the things that
(57:07):
we talked about in the last houras it relates to navigating in the times
we are in. Got a manlyminute coming in just a few moments.
But this made me laugh. Andlook, I don't care whether people fly
their private jets, yachts, youknow, take their yachts around. I
(57:30):
don't care. I don't care becauseit's not changing the climate of this country,
of this world. It's not makinga bit of difference. What matters
to me is that the people thatare doing the worst of it lecture us,
the John Careys of the world,the Taylor Swifts of the world.
(57:53):
And I you know what, Icould care less. I could not care
less should say about Taylor Swift untilshe started lecturing us about how we're supposed
to live our life and we're supposedto vote for Well, there's a dude
named Jack Sweeney, and Jack hasbeen tracking Taylor's private jet use. He
(58:14):
just uses programming that's available to thepublic, and he follows around what she's
doing with her jets. Now she'ssold one of them, but last year
she flew one hundred and seventy eightthousand miles in her private jets. That
is the equivalent of seven times aroundthe world. It is also eighty three
(58:37):
times the average American in CO twoemissions. I just point that out because
the list is impressive. The guyhas been given cease and desist orders by
attorneys, not courts. Attorneys saystop what you're doing. You're endangering Taylor
(58:58):
Swift whatever. By tracking where whatour jets are doing and where they're going.
He's not endangering her. He's buggedElon Musk to the same extent.
Must doesn't lecture us, though atleast I haven't found that he lectures us.
(59:20):
But Bill Gates does. There areothers out there that are flying private
John Carrey does. I just thinkit's funny and it's just one of those
little things you hold in the backof your head when you start to hear
(59:43):
a young person talk about Taylor Swiftand how she thinks we should and then
fill in the blank and then justpoint out the hypocrisy. I just glad
to see that someone's paying attention toall that she's doing. Time for a
male, male by birth, manby choice. These are things to teach
(01:00:09):
your son so that he carries thevirtues, the ideals, the habits that
will make him not just a malea man. Biology chooses whether someone's male
(01:00:32):
or female. God makes that choice. We choose whether we become a man
or not, whether we raise youngmen or not. This one has so
many facets to it. Teach yourson how to be a conversationalist. It
(01:00:53):
starts here. Teach your son tolisten. I'm not just talking about minding
what he's asked to do by momor dad. I'm talking about conversation,
paying attention to the flow of aconversation around a dinner table, or in
(01:01:15):
a gathering, or as you conversewith your spouse or your other children.
Teach him to listen intently on what'sbeing said. Then one day you'll find
yourself with a budding conversationalist, andthen you can, one day later say,
(01:01:37):
you, young man, are justthat you are a man? Come
back sounded so dramatic. Come backwith a third hour. David Williams joins

We are humbled by the fact thatyou choose to hang out for a while
(01:02:43):
each and every day and have fora long time now. And in part
it's because we have this knack offinding great guests. And I am excited
to talk with David Williams. Thewebsite is book David Williams dot com.
It is National Small BusinessWeek and Daveis a He's a Florida guy. He's
(01:03:07):
an entrepreneur, founder of Team Hiredas well as the Fifth Degree Academy.
He's been featured in I mean allover the cable networks, all the publications,
all the trades, and David,welcome to the Morning Show. How
are you, sir? I'm doingexcellent. How about yourself? Thank you
so much for having me today.It's my pleasure. It's a great topic
because I think now more than ever, certainly COVID put it on steroids,
(01:03:31):
but more and more people are lookingat starting their own business. So being
an entrepreneur, you've got a vastamount of experience in this. How different
is it now to try to starta business than it was when you started?
No, I think now, honestly, you know, the one blessing
(01:03:51):
in the silver lining that came outof COVID, I think there's more opportunity
in abundance than ever before before becauseCOVID created a whole new subset of problems,
and those problems need solutions to them. And in this new virtual world
that we're living in, I thinkthere's more business opportunity than ever. Is
that kind of a good starting pointfor any business is to find that niche?
(01:04:15):
Yeah, I think it's finding thatniche. I think finding that problem
that you solve, and I think, you know, a combination of having
a good motivation. You know,that's how I started, you know,
kind of my my long story short, I was a store manager at I
was a store manager at Serpace Cityin two thousand and nine, when I
started one off of work on disability, was told I was going to be
on disability for life. I foughtthrough those challenges, came back to work,
(01:04:39):
was broke, and I had tofind a solution. Knew I couldn't
work in retail anymore with my healthcondition. So then the liquidators were selling
all the merchandise. I had afriend of the family and the insurance business
decide I was going to start myfirst insurance agency, and the liquidators were
selling all the merchandise, pennies andthe dollar. I took the last seven
grand in my name out of myfour oh one K, bought up about
(01:04:59):
seven grant worth a merchandise, resoldit online, paid off my dat,
raised the capital for my first insuranceagency, and we scaled it to a
twenty two million dollar operation nine yearslater, and I exited that first one
and started these other ventures. Soyour springboard to that first business venture for
yourself wasn't even remotely related to whereyou wanted to go. No, I
(01:05:24):
had no idea. It was Godwas God was closing one door by force,
and you know that, That's howI really started to look at challenges
in my life because I started thatone moment in my life. Hey,
God, why are you doing thingsfor me or to me like this?
But I realized he was doing themfor me. On the other side of
every single challenge was the next bestphase of my life. And now I
try to look through at challenges throughthose lenses that the next best part of
(01:05:48):
life is right on the other sideof solving that challenge. If you when
you sit down and talk with people, and sometimes I would imagine it's small,
you know, somewhat intimate gatherings whereyou just got and they've got a
friend who is just kind of curiousabout how you've done what you've done.
Other times there are these big seminarsthat you're doing and conferences and conventions.
(01:06:10):
How do you help someone determine thatthey're in a place where they need to
take this step? Or is thatsomething you can even lead anybody to?
Yeah, well, I think it'sI think some people know that right.
And what stops us in life it'sfear right more times than not. And
I think you can define fear oneof few different ways. It can be
(01:06:31):
forget everything and run, or faceeverything and rise. And I think it's
when we step on the other sideof fear we have the right knowledge,
we have the right mentors, andyou couple that with taking action. I
think that's the recipe for the startof any good business. Joining us on
the program is David Williams. Davidstandby. If you'd like to learn more
about David, you just simply goto the website book David Williams dot com.
(01:06:57):
Simple as that. You'll learn alot about his bad We're going to
keep talking because it is National SmallBusiness Week. We've talked about some business
related things. Last hour. Wetalked about the Biden administration wanting to bring
overtime to salaried workers. Is thatreally good or bad for the economy for
business in general? But there area lot of challenges in the era,
(01:07:18):
but as he's mentioned, they aregreat opportunities. We'll talk about that next.
Preston Scott's what will you doing onFreedom on US Radio one hundred point
seven Tell the UFLA. He's adad, he's an entrepreneur, founder and
(01:07:42):
our guest, that of course,is most important. David Williams with us
this morning on the Morning show.David, are the are the fundamentals of
making the decision to go into business? Do they vary in terms of initials
depths based on the type of business, or are there commonalities that are shared.
(01:08:05):
Yeah, I think I think there'sa lot of commonalities that are shared,
right because they're the same basic principlesthat you got to do. You
got to find that right niche.I think one right one that's going to
be I'm a big fan of findingin a nine out of ten offer,
and what does that mean? Likesomething, if I offer that to ten
different people, there's going to benine of them that are highly interested in
that product? I think or service. I think too often we have people
(01:08:29):
going out there with a product orservice is there's not enough need for us?
I think it's having the right solutionfirst and foremost, going after that
right niche, and then really comingin again finding knowledge, finding the mentor,
and putting in the work. Andit's that same formula kind of any
business that I've found being a serialentrepreneur myself, it's been that same formula
(01:08:49):
of business to business that I've steppedinto. One of the things I've and
I've got maybe a few years onyou, David, but one of the
things I've observed as just someone who'swatching life and it's kind of what I
do for a living, I readand I watch. What's going on in
culture is I've observed that that manyof the younger people of today the people
(01:09:11):
that are most likely to start businesses. While there are some real successful examples,
there's still a lot of people thathave never heard the word no.
They weren't raised to kind of failif you will, to come in third
or fourth and not win a prize, and they struggle dealing with that.
How do you help someone that's inthis age group of wanting to be an
(01:09:31):
entrepreneur but they've never fashioned that armorto take no no. I think with
that what really comes in handy forme there is mental reframing, So understanding
that those nose, those failures,those challenges is all part of the process,
because I don't think you can doanything great in life without failure,
right, And that it's the failurein those moments that teach us the lessons
(01:09:56):
that we need to learn to reallyembrace the process to have the successful business.
So when we don't look at itnecessarily as a failure, but part
of the process of having this ultimatesuccessful business, we look at it through
a different lens, and you canlook at it through a lens of excitement
versus disappointment. You know, youlive in Florida, and I think a
lot of us in this audience wouldsay, we're very fortunate. It's not
(01:10:18):
a perfect state. There isn't sucha thing. But in Florida they're working
hard to remove regulatory barriers and thingsobstacles for small businesses and people that want
to to get into their own kindof line of work from doing so.
But that's not the case everywhere,and it's not necessarily the case federally.
(01:10:41):
How adaptable are your thoughts as itrelates to the challenges that we can't even
predict their coming and the ones thatcome that are regulatory in nature and just
make things difficult. Yeah, soone there. You know, obviously,
you know, the less government thebetter, The less regulation always better,
I think when it comes to business. But I think it goes back to
(01:11:02):
reframing again, right, So whenwe look at the challenges that are out
there, even in some challenging states, well everybody else is facing those challenges.
So I'm actually a fan of doingbusiness in times of challenges and in
times of adversity, because that's whenthere's the least amount of competition, and
everybody else is running the opposite direction. And if you lean into it during
(01:11:24):
those times when everybody else is runningthe direction, I found that there's the
most opportunity for those that are lookingfor it. It's sort of like being
being able to find that wave inthe stock market when everybody's doing one thing.
You're the contrarian, absolutely, andI think that's the rule to live
by right there. All right,David, standby when we come back,
we're going to talk to those ofyou who want to start a business,
(01:11:46):
you want to be an entrepreneur.We're going to get David's keys to that.
What are first steps? Where aresome resources? What are some things
to think about? David Williams,My guest book, David Williams dot com.
The website here in the Morning Showwith Preston Scott. Oh absolutely,
thank you. Back a few moreminutes with David Williams, the website book,
(01:12:17):
David Williams dot com. It isNational Small Business Week. This is
his wheelhouse. David. You're talkingto people, and I just I know
from my audience what I got,and we've got them scattered across the country
because of iHeartRadio. What are themost important things for people to know or
(01:12:38):
to do or both that want tobe an entrepreneur, that want to start
a small business. Yeah, i'dsay some of the most important things,
you know, I'll address some ofthe things I think to get in a
way of people starting the beginnings tobe the business to begin with. I
think it's getting clarity on the rightthing that there's a need for, right
so that proof of concept, doingthe market reef, and really going in
(01:13:00):
on something that's going to make adifference. You know, I started an
insurance everybody. You know, Ididn't grow up saying hey, I want
to be an insurance agent when Iwas a kid, but I thought it
as a great vehicle to get thelife that I wanted to And everybody needs
insurance by law, passive income,reoccurring revenue. So I'll look for those
those sort of components. And thenI think it's taking action because we always
(01:13:21):
in life look for the perfect momentand the perfect time to start and the
time for everything to be perfect.Well there's never a perfect time. There's
never a perfect time to start.There's never a time everything is going to
be perfect. So it's just goingout there and taking action and getting some
momentum. I think that's the bestthing anybody can do. Get the business
started, get it rolling, startgetting some clients under your belt, and
(01:13:41):
then that momentum is going to takeyou to the next place that you want
to go. How do you navigate? We talked about this topic a few
weeks ago. That's why I jumpedon the opportunity to talk with you,
David. We talked about it,and we talked about the hurdle that a
lot of people face. They'd getthis idea, they had this thing,
but then there's the hurdles. There'sthe corporation, there's the paperwork, there's
(01:14:02):
the filing fees, there's how doyou help someone navigate that? What are
the resources available? Yeah? Ithink you know, anybody, anybody starting
small, you know, go down. You can go down to some of
your local resources there with the state, they can help you set up the
entity, they can help you setup to LLC some of the basic framework.
And then I would say, outsideof the basic framework is find a
(01:14:23):
mentor. And where do you dothat? Right? You find somebody that's
already gotten to the destination that you'relooking to go. I think too often
we try to do big things inlife alone. And I'm a big fan
of saying always ask for help,because you can't do great things in this
life alone. You see, everybodysurrounds themselves with great people. So find
somebody that already got to the destinationyou're looking for. Find a way to
(01:14:44):
serve them and add value into theirlife where they want to reciprocate. You
know, do that through a friend, do that through a family member.
There's you know, there's people thatknow people that can connect you to that
person that's already got the compass andthe roadmap to get to your destination.
You know, this might a littledisconnected, but last night, I just
I had saved on a DVR.I'm a big college basketball junkie, and
(01:15:06):
it was Coach K and Roy Williamsand they were talking just together in front
of a group of high school coaches, and Coach K said one of the
things that he did in his entirecoaching career is he asked his players in
each practice to make somebody else better. It sounds like you're describing creating that
(01:15:26):
kind of culture from the ground upin your business. Yeah, And I
actually have a rule of thirty three, So I think you'll always get to
where you want to go in lifeif you thirty three percent of your time
you're lifting and helping other people getto where they want to go. Thirty
three percent of your time you're collaboratingwith other like minded people that are on
your level because you know, theysay you are who you surround yourself with,
(01:15:47):
right, And then thirty three percentof your time with people that are
light years above you. You know, people that make you feel uncomfortable in
the room, because that's how youknow all You're always growing, you're always
collaborating, and then you're always keepingyour sword sharp by you know, serving
and helping other people that need tohelp, just like you did one day.
Tell me where you are right nowin your life? Is it now
(01:16:10):
about pouring into other people and helpingthem through the life you've lived and the
businesses you have have started and run. Is that where you are? Yeah,
that's where I am. I mean, that's why we started our kids
program fIF degree Academy too. Isyou know, teaching kids some of the
things they don't teach in school.It's not knocking the school system, but
there's a lot of things that's notpart of the curriculum. And you know
(01:16:32):
my journey, I stumbled across alot of my success. I started to
finger out a finger two about afinger two, and I had to learn
the hard way. And I don'tthink it has to be that way.
So I try to go around teachingkids that they can have everything they want
in this life and more. Youknow, give you an example of that
is, you know, you teachan American dream get that new house,
get that new car, get thatcell phone, and before they know it,
(01:16:54):
they're part of the statistic in thedebt trap paycheck to paycheck, like
seventy eight percent of Americans five anunder that also have some prime credit score.
But what if you talk kids different. You don't even have to be
an entrepreneur, but you can stepinto your W two job and it maybe
instead of just buying a first timehome buying program for yourself, you use
a first time home buying program toget a duplex or a four plex.
(01:17:15):
You rent out the other units,You take the passive income from those other
units, pay for your living expenses, pay for your car, and now
everything that you're making in your Wtwo is a net positive. You know,
what would life look like then insteadof kids going out there just trying
to survive, they would be thrivingin life. So I try to teach
a different way, have a littlebit of patience and go out in the
(01:17:36):
world the right way to set yourselfup for success. David, it's it's

It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston
Scott, just saying I really connectedto that guy. His story is really
(01:19:13):
I mean, there's just there's abigger story there, and the website gives
you a glimpse into it. He'sa man of faith, not afraid to
talk about God. Background with hisbrother. He talked about going to California
and speaking to kids on behalf,kind of honoring his brother. His brother
(01:19:39):
rough life and troubled times. Andman, really excited about what you got
out of that. I hope yougot a lot out of that. I
hope you're you're kind of encouraged.If you're not, everyone's mindset is for
it to be an entrepreneur. I'min the middle. I kind of am,
and I'm kind of not, andi've kind of I have kind of
(01:20:00):
I have talked about the things thatkeep me from doing it. But anyway,
I hope you enjoyed that. Itwill be on the Conversations podcast in
Mere Moments. Big Story in thepress Box brought to you by Creative Grove,
Creative marketing and digital expertise Grove gR o v A. We've talked
(01:20:26):
about Columbia. Is there any reasonwhy they shouldn't just kick all these people
out of school? Kick them out. No refunding of tuition. You forfeited
that with your illegal actions. Thereshould be no discussion of immunity of any
kind of any No, no,why would there be any other? You
(01:20:53):
arrest them all. You separate thestudents from the non students. You interrogate
the non students. You find outwhy they are there, why they how
are they being supported, and youtrack that as far back as you need
to take it. And if that'sto George Soros and you have him arrested,
(01:21:13):
so be it. This is notcomplicated. CNN polling shows that people
consider Biden's presidency a failure and Trump'spresidency a success. I'm curious how many
of those people thought Trump's presidency wasa success in its time or are they
(01:21:34):
now seeing it successful because of Bidensort of the grass is greener type thing.
Oh man, if this is whatwe got, yeah, this tanks
give me that. It concerns methough, because if they're that easily swayable,
(01:21:56):
then the minute, like let's sayTrump wins and he actually does take
office, of which I know wecan there are a lot of games we
can set up and play and putan envelopes correct, overenders correct. There's
there's a lot to speculate in thatsentence itself. But let's say he takes
office and then the media onslaught returns. They're going to be swayed by the
(01:22:18):
media onslaught again. Which why didyou say that? Because I have a
story about that we're going to tryto do tomorrow or Thursday. I'm just
terribly pessimistic that. I hope peoplehave learned some lessons, but oh gosh,
I hm, I need to seemore proof that. Hopefully we can
(01:22:39):
wake up and see that when themedia onslaught from the leftist media goes after
you know, President Trump, ifhe is is in office, that they
see it for what it is,that it is an onslaught. They are
the proxy war for the left,for the regime that wants nothing to do
(01:22:59):
with the president that wants to dismantlethat regime. Right. I hope they
see that for what it is,can see it clearly. I don't have
high hopes. I don't either,yeah so, but but we we at
least can speak it. We canfollow the biblical admonition to speak positive things
and and hope while we write downour predictions and put them in a non
(01:23:27):
we're all just secretly black pilled inthe back. We're just like, it's
so over the duality of man.It's like the varied versions of the Happy
Birthday song. Happy Birthday. Peopleare dying everywhere, but happy Birthday.
(01:23:49):
I didn't know that version. I'munfamiliar, That's what I'm saying. I
mean, there's this new alternative wayof celebrating, kind of sort of back
with more the Morning Show. It'sThe Morning Show with Preston Scott. All
Right, I gotta do this,and it's probably gonna kill the segment that
(01:24:10):
I've been trying to do now fortwo days, and I'll have to push
it to tomorrow, but I justI can't. I gotta one of the
research assistants of the program. Youknow, when someone works hard. Right
here here, I'm displaying my managementstyle. I'm interrupting everything that I plan
(01:24:40):
for this segment so that i canbring to you what one of the research
assistants dutifully diligently dug up for meto share with you. I'm like,
you know what that person works.It's very hard for this. It's relevant
(01:25:02):
to the show, the big storiesin the press box. It deserves to
be shared. So I'm setting asidewhat I scheduled, and I'm saying thank
you to one of our research assistants. This is best as I can determine
by researching around it. This iscirca late nineteen sixties the Gipper Ronald Reagan
(01:25:29):
running for governor of California, whenthe protests at Berkeley broke out. Listen
to this exchange with what is likelya professor or a member of the media.
I don't know, but listen Reaganright here now, why do you
(01:25:50):
negotiate? Many times? Negotiate whatis to negotiate? What is? University?
Is a public institution, that's right, but the university that its own
community and for the community of Berkeleythat live around. All of it began
the first time some of you,who know better and are old enough to
know better, let young people thinkthat they had the right to choose the
(01:26:12):
laws they would obey as long asthey were doing it in the name of
social protesting. Thank you very much, Gipper. All these years later,
speaking wisdom, this all began whenthis is Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.
(01:26:39):
This is this is allowing dude Thomasto swim in a race. Did you
nip it in the bud? Youdo some, but nipping you're not faced
with this problem. You're just not. We've let the genie out of the
(01:27:01):
bottle. I mean, I don'tknow how many more little analogies as mixed
metaphors I can use, but thisis not complicated. Oh, by the
way, and just to make sureyou have a clear view of what happened
on October seventh, go to myblog page. Don't make excuses. Just

it. Go ahead, I'm gonnagive a tip of the cap to PETA
(01:28:39):

is almost for you. A giftfor you. You just recently celebrated a
birthday. Here's a here's a belatedgift. Thank you. You don't know
the name Natalie Eva Marie or thename Eva Marie. Probably that that's her
(01:29:21):
kind of stage name. That's whatshe was. She was Eva Marie when
she was a star with w WE. Okay, okay, kind of an
Amazon woman, kind of you know, very striking kind of figure. I
see. She gave a thanks toPeta, quoting shout out to Peta because
(01:29:44):

all the hard work by showcasing factoryfarming. So now I'm gonna hunt my
own meal. You should know whereyour meat comes from. So she's now
a full on one hundred percent allyou'll love to see it, and she's
thanking Peta. That's great, justlove it. I'm just loving it.
(01:30:11):
If I were a cattle company andyou're trying to sell your premium black Angus
beef on the market, I wouldlean into that, absolutely. I would.
There's so many marketing opportunities to belike, hey, join the rest

there. You know, Pete's doingthe yeoman's work of getting people out into
the land and deer hunting and huntingfor their food. And so, in
the spirit of Hethaw, Grant andI gather together and we say to you,
(01:30:54):
Peta salute brought to you by BaronoHeating and Air. It's the morning
show on WFLA. No reason tosuppress thy laughter. Well, it needed
to let the sponsor play. Yes, we don't want to laugh at our
sponsors in the morning show one eighty. Of course, I look back at
(01:31:15):
the radio program in one hundred andeighty seconds or less. We started with
Ephesians four fifteen, and that's wherewe began the radio program. We did
talk about Columbia and uh, whenare the adults gonna act like adults?
And don't you dare give these peopleamnesty? Don't you dare give them immunity?
Don't you dare? And I knowsome of you are like yeah or
(01:31:38):
else, what what are you gonnado? And I'm gonna say mean things
about them? That's what I'm gonnado. Reckoning Retribution comes in all forms,
in many forms. But what Iam going to ask you to do
is make sure you go to myblog page, check out the blog,
take the time, please please,I'm all but begging you to please check
(01:32:03):
out the blog. And I don'tcare about clicks. That's not what this
is. I don't write blogs forclicks. I write blogs to inform,
to offer a different set of thoughts, to offer a different perspective, to
offer some features, to offer somefun. In this case, there's nothing
(01:32:26):
funny about it. There's nothing funabout it. There's nothing. It explains
why Israel's going to do what it'sgoing to do and what it has been
doing, and it needs to keepdoing it. In my opinion, CNN
polling shows Trump ahead. It's notgood for Biden at all. In fact,
the largest margin in CNN poll historyis the margin that Trump has over
(01:32:49):
Biden. Right now. We tooka lot of calls. It was a
good phone segment. We spent ahalf hour taking calls on overtime pay for
salaried workers question Mark. We gaveyou some tips on improving your credit rating,
and even a historical find at MountVernon. Yes, after all these
years. Tomorrow we'll do it again. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
