Episode Transcript

(00:11):
Well, fine, welcome to theTuesday edition of the Morning Show with Preston's
Got May seventh, first Tuesday ofthe month. Great to be with you.
My sky scan atomic clock is malfunctioning. Got a brand new battery in

(00:37):
it. Man, that's all right, those are trivial problems. He's grand
Allen. I'm Preston. It's showfifty one fifty three, and our verse
today comes from Galatians six, versenine. Let us not grow weary of

(01:03):
doing good, for in due seasonwe will reap if we do not give
up. People can pull individual scripturesto try to justify any number of positions.
It's when you take scriptures in theirentirety and you piece them together with

(01:26):
other scriptures. You get theology,you get statements of faith. Anybody can
cherry pick to justify a personal convictionthat's gone on for centuries. People can
take an individual scripture and justify darnnear anything, from Old Testament to new

(01:53):
anything. For example, let usnot grow weary of doing good see see
it says here that if you dogood works, if you do good things,
see it says in due season,we will reap if we don't give
up doing good works. See well, the part that is presumptive in this

(02:28):
is that the reason you're doing goodworks is because you have become a Christian.
Good works do not earn you salvation. But you can see with just
one verse here how people can takea verse and turn it into their own

(02:52):
personal theology. This is what Ibelieve. Whatever sport taken in totality,
God's word makes it really clear youdon't get the salvation through good works.
Salvation should then provoke and promote andencourage you to good works, to do

(03:19):
those things. Because you are nowan ambassador of Christ, you're representing his
name. And so I just Iwant to warn you, because I have
watched this for forty years now,longer people get wayward and get in love

(03:45):
with their own theology, and soI caution you, friends, don't let
that happen. More importantly to theverse today, don't grow weary of doing
the right things, of being helpful, of being pleasant, of cutting no

(04:08):
corners in your work, of beingan ambassador. You claim a Christian status
and you cut corners at work,What are you saying you cut corners at
school? What are you saying?You claim to represent Christ? You claim
to be a Christian. You claimthat, well, you're not going to

(04:30):
grow weary of doing good. Butif you start cutting corners, what are
you claiming? What are you showing? What are you revealing? So a
challenge to you today, don't growweary of doing good. Do the right
things. In due season you'll berewarded. And that season can come on

(04:56):
this side of eternity, that seasoncould come on that side of eternity.
I don't know. That's not myplace to determine. Just don't give up.
Ten minutes past the hour, theAmerican Patriots Almanac standing by. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Preston Scott, Hello, Hello, anybody?

(05:28):
Oh hily on news Radio one hundredpoint seven WUFLA turn Mike on May

(05:51):
seven. On this date in seventeenseventy five, George Washington was traveling north,
having left his home at Mount Vernon, Virginia, to attend the Second
Continental Congress in Philadelphia. As herode along, his thoughts were pulled in
opposite directions. Ahead, war loomed. Fighting had broken out at Lexington and

(06:15):
Concord. Behind him, at hisbeloved plantation, the fields were full of
green wheat and newly planted corn,herring were running in the river, and
the gardens were in bloom. Hewas not sure when he would be able
to return. Washington inherited Mount Vernonin seventeen sixty one from his half brother

(06:36):
Lawrence, who had named the estatein honor of Admiral Edward Vernon, Lawrence's
commander in the British Navy. Theplantation eventually covered eight thousand acres, and
the column house atop the bluff overlookingthe Potomac River was one of Virginia's finest.

(07:00):
It's an incredible piece of ground.It is truly incredible to look out
over that field and see the Potomac. Washington was keenly interested in farming,
and never tired of trying to growdifferent crops and breeding livestock. He could

(07:20):
not have known as he rode norththat he would have to spend years away
from his plantation, first as commanderof the army, and then, of
course later as president, quoting itis my full intention to devote my life
and fortune in the cause we areengaged in, if need be, he

(07:42):
wrote his brother John in seventeen seventyfive. But he always yearned for Mount
Vernon When the long years of servicewere finally over, he happily retired to
his home, quoting at the ageof sixty five, I am recommencing my
agricultural pursuits and rural amusements, whichat all times have been the most pleasing

(08:03):
occupation of my life and most congenialwith my temper. This was written in
seventeen ninety seven. Washington was ableto live his last years at Mount Vernon,
where he died in seventeen ninety nine. He and his wife Martha are
buried in a simple hillside tomb there. I've seen it. It's remarkable.

(08:33):
Also on this date, ten yearslater, sorry earlier. He died ten
years after this event. The firstinaugural ball honoring George and Martha Washington held
in New York City seventeen eighty nine. You move ahead to nineteen fifteen.
The German U boat sinks the Britishliner Lusitania off the Irish coast, killing

(08:58):
twelve hundred, including one hundred andtwenty eight Americans, which hastened our entry
into World War One. Nineteen fortyfive German surrenders. German forces surrender to
the Allies in France, bringing anend to World War II in Europe.
The E Day nineteen fifty seven,JFK awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Profiles Encourage.

(09:24):
Nineteen ninety two, the twenty seventhAmendment bar in Congress from giving itself
a mid term pay raise is ratified. Oh my, sixteen minutes after the
hour. Cat owners, listen up, all, I'm gonna tread carefully here.

(10:05):
I'm disclosing on the front end whatmany of you already know well.
I will always be kind to animalsthat are not trying to kill me.
I will never be mean to acat, unless it's a faro cat that's

(10:26):
burying its tongue, its fangs andtrying to attack me. I'm not a
cat lover. I'm just not.They creep me out. But again,
I'm kind to animals. If acat comes up to me. We have
a neighborhood cat. If she comesup to me, which she will do,

(10:54):
I will pet her, and thenshe'll go on her way to do
whatever she does, which is probablyuseful taking care of vermins that we don't
want. But what I'm sharing hereis meant to be helpful to you.

(11:20):
So I'm just the messenger. It'snot my Message. Researchers have published Inside
of Schizophrenia bulletin and found that peoplewho are exposed to cats may have more
than double the chances of developing schizophreniaand other similar mental disorders later in life.

(11:48):
Australian researchers University of Queensland conducted asystematic review of seventeen different studies from
eleven countries performed within a forty threeyear window. That's pretty broad. All

(12:09):
the studies focused on participants who ownedcats in their first twenty five years of
life and experienced schizophrenia related outcomes.Psychotic symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions,
and thought disorders. Lead researcher doctorJohn McGrath said, based on past studies,

(12:30):
there's evidence linking cat ownership and anincreased risk of subsequent schizophrenia. That
gets interesting. Previous research linking catexposure to schizophrenia focused on something called toxoplasma
gandhi, which is a parasite thatcan cause a feline disease called toxoplasmosis.

(12:56):
While observational epidemiology cannot prove the link, the study shows that the topic warrants
detailed research. It is important tokeep a level head and consideration of the
findings, They write, there isno need to panic if you own a
cat and have children or are thinkingabout starting a family. But there's a

(13:22):
lot that is unknown. It's importantto highlight that not all people who are
exposed to cats are infected with thisparticular parasite develop mental health issues. Not
all people with schizophrenia have had catexposure. But there is a bit of

(13:46):
smoke as it relates to ownership ofcats, regular exposure to them, and
schizophrenia and other mental disorders. Now, I would probably lean towards the idea
of there being some parasitic thing involvedhere. I'll just tell you that if

(14:16):
there's an animal in the domesticated worldof animals that generally do not display any
level of schizophrenia, it would bea cat. Cats are mellow, generally
very cool, as in, wouldyou please sit down so I can lay

(14:41):
on your lap? Thank you.Cats are just chill. Now, if
you were to ask about schizophrenia,I could point to a dozen breeds of
dogs that distribute traits of schizophrenia thatthat make me laugh. And as I

(15:03):
said, this is just I'm justhere to help, so don't write me
the hate mail. I'm not acat fan. I would never be a
cat owner personally. Ever, Ever, I would own a bird before I
would own a cat, But Idoubt I would do that either, because
they're just nasty. And although Ionce thought of getting an African gray because

(15:31):
they're just brilliant birds. I justyeah, no the cages, Yes,
yes, not down with that.All right, we're gonna come back.
We got the breaking stories that areout there as it relates to what's going
on the Middle East. We've gotother things that are in the press box,
so we'll do the big stories,get you caught up on some things,

(15:52):
and set up the rest of theshow. Next the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. All right, let'sget to the big stories in the press

(16:17):
box, brought to you by GrovaCreative Marketing and Digital Expertise. Do not
allow yourself to buy into this nonsenseof Hamas has agreed to the terms of
an Egypt broker ceasefire. This isall posturing. Israel gets it. They

(16:45):
dropped leaflets, They conducted a militaryoperation in the city of Rafa yesterday,
particularly the gate at the eastern sideof the city in Gaza, and they
are rooting out these people Rafa isa stronghold for Hamas terrorists, and I'm

(17:08):
going to remind you as you hearthese stories of negotiations for hostages, where
are they, how many are left? This is absurd and Israel is not

(17:29):
accepting the terms, and so theyare conducting their prosecution of this battle as
needed. Sadly, because of thetactics of these terrorists, where they locate
themselves in hospitals, in civilian centers, in amongst housing developments with families,

(18:00):
there are always going to be collateraldamage. There will be people that are
innocent civilians that are killed. Thisis one of the things that allows you
to separate the acts of a abody that is conducting a military exercise versus

(18:26):
terrorists. Nations do not bury theirmilitary installations in amongst the civilians. Certainly,
they are bases that have towns aroundthem. But if someone wanted to

(18:48):
conduct a military strike on military basesin America, they know where to aim.
Terrorists don't do that, if youwill, they don't fight fair.
They're terrorists. This is how theyoperate. So Hamas claiming they've agreed to

(19:11):
a cease fire negotiated by Qatar,cutter whatever, how do you say it.
I've heard it pronounce fourteen ways.I don't know, depends on the
day. Yeah, just ignore andignore what John Kirby says, Ignore what
Biden says. Biden's a jerk.He's a senile, evil old man.

(19:34):
Another big story in the press box. Florida number one in domestic tourism,
number two in international tourism. Infact, domestic tourism jumped a full point

(19:55):
from twenty two to twenty three.It's the largest increase of any state.
California experienced a notable decline. NewYork experienced a notable decline. Trying to
get Dana Young from Visit Florida onthe program Soon to talk about this.

(20:17):
Clearly, if the numbers are downat Disney, and Disney claims they are
that their revenue at their attractions isdown. And you know, I don't
necessarily know how much of that isFlorida, if any of it, but
it could be the California thing.I don't know, but it makes you
wonder if the entire state is benefiting. That's been one of the things that

(20:41):
I've really I believe is important aboutvisit Florida is the importance of spreading it
around Beyond the theme parks. Thereare a lot of reasons to visit this
state. There are a lot ofcool towns in Florida, and that's good
news. And it is hurricane preparedness. It is important that you remember to

(21:04):
just kind of get your ducks ina row, check your evacuation zones,
you know, have a plan whereyour documents, where would you put them
in the event of a storm.Just some of that stuff. Well,
we'll spend time later on this monthgoing through a little bit more of an
exhaustive checklist just to kind of helpyou out, especially because there's so many

(21:26):
new people into the state. Theydon't really know or understand the storms happen.
We have years where we have virtuallynothing impact Florida. We have years
where we've had multiple storms impact Florida. It will come and go. This
is expected to be a busy seasonbecause of La Nina. It's a lnin
yes season, so that means activeAtlantic golf basin. So there you go.

(21:51):
Come back with man, why go? Preston Scott does mother no whereth
her dres on News Radio one hundredpoint SEVENUSLA. I knew it? Caro
writes in very angry with me.That's ridiculous. I've had cats all my

(22:15):
life. No you haven't. Goaway. I'm the one writing this.
Okay, Now, that wasn't thebest constructed note to try to suggest you
haven't been impacted by owning cats.Seriously, that's ridiculous. I've had cats

(22:41):
all my life. No you haven't. No, you haven't had cats my
whole life. Yes, you're correct, Go away. I'm the one writing
this. Was that to her cat? Go away? I'm the one writing
this was your cat offended? Look, Hey, I told you I'm the

(23:08):
messenger. Don't get mad at me. That's what the research was saying.
Hey, next hour, we willtake calls who should Trump pick as vice
president? And not so much ifyou have a name, that's fine.
But if you're Trump, do yougo for votes? There's a lot of

(23:30):
talk of Trump play in the middle. Do you go for policy? A
true bonafide conservative, he's as closeas we've got out there that hates the
swamp, which I'm good with.Is there somebody that checks both of those

(23:51):
boxes? I don't know that thereis. I don't know that there's somebody
quote in the middle that would checkboth of those boxes. So we'll take
your calls, your suggestions. Nexthour, third hour, US congress Woman
cat Camick will join us, andyes, we will talk about the anti
Semitism bill. She did vote forit. I'm going to do what I

(24:15):
do. I'm going to give heran opportunity to explain why. I'm likely
not going to agree with her reasoning, but I'm going to listen. Got
a manly minute and more still tocome as well. I asked the question
before the break. We were justtalking about tourism in Florida, how good

(24:36):
it is in the Sunshine State.Why would anybody go to Mexico. I
don't get it. I don't knowif you've seen the latest story, two
Australians and an American on a surfingtrip Baja California were killed. Their bodies

(25:02):
were found dumped in a well inthe middle of who knows where, allegedly
because thieves wanted the tires from theirtruck. Apparently there was a fourth body

(25:26):
found there that had been in therea lot longer inside the well, so
this was apparently a dumping ground.I mean, these are two dudes from
Australia that loved the surf and theydecided to catch some way. I mean
two brothers, Jake and Callum Robinsonfrom Australia, an American jack road camping

(25:52):
in surfing trip along a stretch ofof Baja Mexico. Authorities theorized killers droe
Bi saw the foreigners pickup truck andtents, wanted to steal their tires.
But when they think that, thethree of them heard and caught them,

(26:18):
and so they shot and killed them. Yeah, it's great country to visit
between the cartels and crap like that. And I'd be shocked if these guys
weren't connected to the cartels, becausethat's just kind of everything there. Why
go. I wouldn't if I werein the World Cup, I wouldn't go.

(26:40):
If I were a golfer playing ina PGA event there, I wouldn't
go. I would not go toMexico period. I wouldn't do a stopover
in the airport. No, wegot high school kids in parts of the
country taking trips there. The MorningShow with Preston Scott on news Radio one

(27:03):
hundred point seven WFLA research assistant makingme aware. Peter Navarro, former Trump
advisor, trying to avoid prison forcontempt of Congress. Chief Justice John Roberts

(27:41):
denied his request back in March.I think they tried again just last week
or so, and Gorsich referred therequest of the full Court. Had a
closed door conference back maybe about tendays ago. They denied without comment.

(28:15):
Here's what's interesting. US Congressman MattGates wants to interview him. The judge
will not allow it. Matt Gateson Twitter. I was informed today by
the director of the Federal Bureau ofPrisons that my request to interview Peter Navarro
would be denied. Not a judge, but apparently the director of Federal Prisons.

(28:41):
Her reason was that Peter Navarro isquoting too notorious to be interviewed by
a member of Congress. He thenwrites one line, John Gotti was interviewed
in prison doing four months, apparentlyfor refusing to appear before the January sixth

(29:06):
committee. Can you blame him?That committee was a sham. January sixth
is going to go down as potentiallya turning point in this country's history,

(29:30):
where where we really started to jailpolitical dissidents. Now there again, there's
there's there's some rightful punishment being doledout, but most of it is not
all right. Let's set up thephone segment here. There's a lot of

(29:52):
discussion over who should be chosen asthe vice presidential pick to run with Donald
Trump. Does it matter? Iwould think it does. At Trump's age,
I think it matters. That's what'sso horrifying about Kamala Harris Biden's condition.
It matters who the vice president is. And she is a train wreck.

(30:18):
She is painfully ignorant, and boyddoes that speak to the actual value
of a college degree for some people? Oh my gosh, she's the poster
child for being ripped off for whatevershe paid for college. Now I'm asking

(30:40):
you, should Trump go for votes. He's being advised by some to pick
the middle of the road candidate,someone that's kind of a moderate damn Republican
to secure of the middle. Someare saying, no, he's got to
go with policies, someone that's alignedwith his policy vision. Some think there's

(31:06):
a both out there. I don'tknow who that might be, but I'd
love to hear from you. Eightfive zero two zero five w FLA if
you have a name, that's fine, but more interesting to me. Do
you want them to go for votesor policy or do you think there's someone
that fills both eight five zero twozero five w FLA five minutes past the

(31:45):
hour. It is Tuesday in themorning show. Good morning, I'm President's
Grant and we're taking your calls thishalf hour. I want to ask your
thoughts because it's now ramping up.Donald Trump is going to be the nominee.
They can do all they want totry to stop this from happening.

(32:06):
It's not going to He will bethe Republican nominee to retain the office of
president. Retain, you know whatI mean. A lot of people feel
as though he needs to pick somebodythat's going to help him with people that

(32:30):
are in the middle. Trump's dislikesfrom a personal perspective are very very high.
Most people choose Trump because of policy, and so one thought out there
is that he's got to pick somebodythat is acceptable to the middle of the

(32:57):
country. Another thought is, no, he needs somebody that is strong conservative
in policy. He has to picksomebody that could be president. There are
those that think there might be asilver bullet candidate out there that can do
both of those things. What's mostimportant to you and who do you think

(33:23):
might be? If you had aname throw a name out, you don't
have to, and just share what'smost important to you. Eight five zero
two zero five WFLA one line isringing now, which means all are taken.
Jay, Thanks for being patient.So what are your thoughts on this
vice presidential pick? Preston? Thanksfor taking the call. So I'm coming

(33:47):
at it from a different view ofka. There's nobody out there that's going to
bring the middle to him, nobody, So I want somebody that can at
least articulate a conservaive policies and makeit possible for others to consider. That
would be Newt Gingridge. He's older, he's wise, he would be there

(34:08):
for four years, He's not athreat, He's not Trump's next president.
New it would be great. Andas a bonus attorney general Ron decentis you'd
be willing to give him up asgovernor of Florida. I would if he
was the attorney general. Fair enough, all right, Jay, thanks very

(34:28):
much. Interesting thought. Not allthink that Newt is a bonafide conservative,
but that he certainly can articulate thepolicies and holds most positions that a conservative
would. But that's a great,great thought. Gerald, Thanks very much,
for calling her. Good morning,Thank you for letting me call.

(34:50):
Just three names right off the top, and a three different you know,
would be and we don't know.We don't know who actually Donald Trump has
talked to now one one guy wouldbe Kennedy, The other guy would be
Rick Santorum. I don't know whathe's doing. And the third guy would
be darryl Isa from California. Justjust off the top of my head,

(35:14):
and just after a few thoughts,that's what I would suggest. Let me
ask you this, what's more importantto him to shore up votes or to
have someone that's a policy kind ofbuddy with him. He don't need anybody.
Everybody's going to vote, He's goingto vote for him. I think
policy is probably really important. That'swhy I go with like Santorum or Ia

(35:36):
from California. You don't know ifthey want it or not, or if
he's talked to him, and wedon't know. We don't know that,
you know, but next in lineto the presidency is really important. Thank
you, Gerald. I appreciate thephone call. Patricia Linda Ray, you
are next? What about you?Eight five zero two zero five WFLA Trump's
vice president, just taking your thoughtsThis Morning Show with Preston Scott. This

(36:08):
is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Eleven minutes past the hour. Your
calls, who if you have aname, or what do you want a
vice president presidential candidate to bring tothe table. Patricia, thank you for

(36:31):
waiting your thoughts. More, goodmorning. A quick comment on your first
caller. Excellent thoughts on his part. Although I don't want to lose Rodna
Santis and I do believe that Trumpwould get a strong attorney general, so
I'm not too concerned about that.But my thoughts are he definitely needs somebody

(36:52):
that's going to bring votes. AndI heard Taulcy Gabbard interviewed the other day,
and I think she would be anone pick for him. Okay,
tell me this, when when youtalk about Trump's surrounding himself with you,
you mentioned he'd pick an exceptional attorneygeneral. Do you think he learned that

(37:14):
lesson from his first time in office? Because he had a revolving door in
most of his cabinet positions and heseemed to make some mistakes there. I
think that's part of it, ButI think the other part of it is
what he's going through right now.Just the fact that he's go ahead.
He's got to get he's got toget strong people in there that will that

(37:37):
will support the law and not theI mean he he got. I don't.
I don't really understand what happened thefirst go round that he could not
keep people in there. I thinkhe's he's just such a demanding person and
uh, he's not willing to acceptother people's thoughts. Maybe I'm not sure

(38:01):
what happens, but I think hedefinitely learned a lesson the first time around.
Thank you, Patricia, appreciate thephone call. Let's go to Linda
High Linda, Hi, Preston,I definitely think it needs to be someone
who has strong agreements in policy,policy over potential votes. Do you think

(38:24):
it matters? Do people care whothe vice president's going to be? No?
Does it matter with the agent?Let me say this, I think
a lot of people maybe do,but I think most people don't pay any
attention to that. They don't lookback at history and though they were choosing

(38:45):
differently at the time of Lincoln.I think Johnson becoming the next president after
Lincoln is a real red flag forus. But I you know, any
president can die from a heart attackor anything. And I definitely think that

(39:07):
if we don't have someone who's goingto stand the policy that Trump displayed in
his first time, that we'll juststart down the slippery slope again. And
so I do. I think thepolicy is more important. I wish it

(39:28):
would be our governor. I knowthat won't happen, but strong policy to
me. Thank you very much,Linda, appreciate it. Let's go to
Ray. Hi. Ray, appreciateyour patience. All Let's think outside of
the box. Somebody that is politicallyconnected with like a dynasty family. We

(39:50):
need somebody that has business experience,and we need somebody that appeals to Joe's
six pack, that has the everymanqualit two words under Biden. You know,
truthfully, Ray, I knew youweren't gonna let me down. I

(40:14):
knew it. I have a greatmorning. I honestly don't know who it
should be, because well, whatmatters more policy or votes at this point?
Honestly votes? Yeah, yeah,fair enough, I thank you,
appreciate that. Let's go to Margaret. Hi. Margaret, you're up.
Hi. I have been listening toMarjorie Taylor Green and she is a true

(40:39):
Trump supporter, and she has verygood she can articulate all the things that
we need, and she's very good, and I think she'd be a great
vice president. Thank you very much, Margaret. Some people view her as
radioactive and toxic some, but thenthat's what how some people view Trump.

(41:01):
Frank, final caller in the segment, what are your thoughts? Hey,
good morning dressing. I'm surprised Ihadn't heard it yet, but General Mike
Flynn would be my first big andthen carry Lake second, and Ron Iss
and the third and only reason.Third because I want to miss my governor.

(41:21):
Yeah, yeah, I hear that, Frank. Thanks very much,
appreciate the phone call. Carry lakeIs would not be a wise choice.
In my opinion. She can't.She's she's become the Charlie crist of Arizona.
Let me win an election, please, I want to run for everything.

(41:44):
Let me win. She's and andI can't explain the why. I'm
just telling you in Arizona, she's, she's. She's Yesterday's news, which
is rather ironic. More of yourcalls, we have lives open. If

(42:05):
you want to join us Trump's vicepresidential pick votes policy. Who do you
have as a name or set ofnames eight five zero two zero five to
BFLA, I have perused a bunchof different sites because it seems as though

(42:37):
the mainstream media is so predictable.Speaking up tomorrow on the program, in
response to an email question, hada listener ask, could you please give
us a little background to where,when, why the mainstream media went dead

(43:05):
left? I can point to somethings that I observed when I was younger,
but I'm bringing in someone that mighthave a little better historical perspective.
Rob Bluie is the executive editor ofThe Daily Signal, which is the news

(43:28):
outlet for the Heritage Foundation, andso he's going to join me tomorrow and
we're going to talk through in thethird hour of the program how it all
went wrong, Why did it gowrong? When did it go wrong?
Where did it go wrong. We'regoing to go through that, and that's
coming up tomorrow on the program.But as I as I go through,

(43:52):
and I've got emails coming in,Laura writes in, Mike Pompeo. No,
Laura, not Mike Pompeo. BecauseMike Pompeo, first he's a he's
a warhawk. Secondly, he wasin the CIA when they were holding information
from Trump. He was part ofthat. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephen Miller

(44:21):
appreciate the email president at iHeartRadio dotcom. Tulci Gabbard. Uh, let's
see Garland writes, Sin said,Uh, Tulci Gabbard, Candace Owens.
Candice has kind of gotten mean spirited. I like her, but but I've

(44:44):
noticed a real mean streak in her. And I get it. She's been
mercilessly attacked, but I've there's somethingthat comes out of her. Sometimes it's
a little unbecoming. But then youknow, look at trum right. But
here's a list kind of a acombo list of of a lot of the

(45:07):
media outlets sort of aggregated together.You've got Tim Scott of South Carolina.
Grant's just shaking his head, closinghis eyes. The that Gramaswami, he'd
be a great press secretary, thinkabout it, a spokesman. He's good

(45:29):
at that. Christy Nome, Nope, she honestly she shot her chances.
She did. Pun intended very muchso, but she did. She ended

(45:50):
it right there. She's she's toxic. Now. I'm not saying that's right
or wrong nothing. I'm just sayingthat's the reality. Byron Donald's now he
wants to be governor. That'd beinteresting. Tulsey Gabbard's on this list.

(46:12):
Jd Vance of Ohio. That's theonly one that even remotely gets me interested.
Jd Vance. Marco Rubio's on thislist, Marjorie Taylor Green's on this
list. Elist. Stephanic of NewYork is on this list. Katie Britt

(46:32):
of Alabama, the one who didthe State of the Union response and that
was so cringe. Yeah, itwas cringe. But she's sharp, she's
she's bonified. Sarah Sanders. Igenerally think most of the best and brightest

(46:53):
that we've got should stay in theirpositions at their state levels. Yeah,
you got Glenn Youngkin and we're understandthis on this list. Yeah. Nicky
Haley, Oh that would and thatwould actually entice me to not vote.
Now, you can't do that.But if you want people to not vote

(47:14):
for Trump, you pick Nicky Haley. That's what you do. But it's
Trump's pick, and that would bea catastrophic mistake. He that would actually
be an indicator that mistakes have notbeen learned. And I don't think he's
gonna do that. But what youneed and a vice president is someone who's
going to take that agenda whatever Americafirst, and dispense it through the entire

(47:40):
Washington apparatus. So you're going toneed a degree of loyalty to the America
first, that that thing that's kindof kicked off this entire movement, Trump
being kind of like the morning starof that movement. Not hardly any of
those names have any kind of gravitasto be able to actually withstand the onslaught

(48:01):
that's going to come from the bureaucraticregime that's just throwing the book at Trump
right now. Should a calculus beI need to pick someone that is capable
to be my successor and be presidentin four years possibly win because most vice

(48:24):
presidents most they're not they're not presidentialmaterial, they're losers pretty much. So
you need someone out of consideration,someone with a degree of loyalty, someone
with a degree of gravitas and strength. Possibly, yeah, I'd say so,

(48:47):
But someone who's also willing to notstay at their state level post.
That's important. Does it have tobe someone who's in government? Not necessarily,
And I'm not leaning towards Vivek Ramaswami, trust me, But I'm just
saying, is there anybody you know? Someone mentioned Newt Gingrich, not Newt.

(49:10):
I wouldn't personally support the idea,but I mean it wouldn't cause me
to not vote for Trump. Butsomeone liked that that's got some game,
but is out of the game.Who would that be? All right?
All right, No, I'm justkidding. I'm just kidding. Just thos

(49:43):
Well. It was an interesting halfhour talking vice presidential picks. Who may
or may not be a good candidate. I'm still getting email a lot of
different suggestions. Devin Nunius, Thisone likes Byron Donald's Ben Carson, but

(50:06):
we've theorized he's just way too good. A guy. Got to have a
little bit of a little bit ofthat in you to be in Washington in
that capacity you've got, You've gotto be willing to to fight. He's
just a nice guy. We've hadhim on the show. Delightful guy.
Alan West, interesting choice. He'skind of falling off the radar. Do

(50:31):
we know why. I don't knowwhy. Yeah, maybe just decided to
seek a quieter life. Who couldblame him? Yeah, I don't blame
him. The negotiations. Big storiesin the press Box, brought to you
by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertiseHamas playing the game. Yes, we'll

(50:52):
engage in a six weeks cease firein return for for what what exactly?
Let's let's go ahead and let's havesome Red Cross people, some observers go
in there with some cameras and let'srecord the hostages. Let's see how they're
doing, Let's see what's happened,Let's get some thoughts from them on their

(51:15):
captivity, and then we'll see howwe go about negotiating telling you all this.
John Kirby, spokesman for the Pentagon. There's been a response from a
mosque to the hostage deal. Allegedlythey're saying absolutely, yes, we agree.
We're currently reviewing that response. We'rediscussing with our partners in the region.

(51:37):
Won't be able to comment, memean, your partners in the region.
Honestly, who cares what the UnitedStates says? At this point?
Do you really think Israel cares?Totally different subject? It is national it

(51:59):
is Hurricane repairedness week here in Florida. I was gonna say national hurricane.
No, And of course they've gottax free holidays coming up where you can
buy your hurricane gear. June firstis one and the other is August twenty
fourth. If it were me andyou were new to the state, I'd
get my list Florida Division of EmergencyManagement, find out your evacuation zones depending

(52:25):
on where you are in the stateof Florida where you're listening to the show
from. But if you're new,get that list and pay attention to it,
and I would divide it in half, and I would get some of
it in June, and I wouldget some of it in August. Is
there likelihood of a storm prior toSeptember? Yeah, it can happen.
It's more likely in August than Juneor July, but it could happen sooner.

(52:50):
We are in a La Nina period, which means there is greater likelihood
of storm development in the Atlantic Basin, off the coast of West Africa on
over and in the Gulf. Andas we've seen, storms can develop pretty
quickly. But yes, this couldbe a busy storm season. It might
not be. We just it's theweather. Though Al Gore will let never

(53:16):
admit it when he said and predictedin his movie that we would be in
the worst run of hurricanes in Man'shistory. We didn't have any hit Florida
for like better than a decade.So what it's the weather? Okay.
All I'm telling you is, ifyou're new to the state, make some
decisions to get some gear together.We'll help you with that. As we

(53:38):
get a little closer. Forty onepast the hour, Welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott May in aminute, a little bit the US congress

(54:00):
Room, a caccamick in the thirdhour. One more big story. Florida
remains number one destination for tourism forthose who live in America, number two
for internationals. Interesting largest gain intwenty twenty three went to Florida domestic tourism

(54:28):
up a percentage point. Meanwhile,California lost one in two tens percent.
New York saw a near one percentloss. Florida leads by a substantial margin,
boasting a two point seven percentage rateover California as a preferred destination for
American travelers. Now, why wouldthat be? Why would people that want

(54:53):
to engage in domestic tourism choose Floridaover California? Anyway, this caught my
eye. I don't know if you'refamiliar of the Hymns and Hers company.
The founder is a guy named AndrewDudham. Mister Dudham had this to say

(55:19):
about the protests on college campuses,and I quote from his Twitter post,
moral courage is greater than a collegedegree. If you're currently protesting against the
genocide of the Palestinian people and foryour university's divestment from Israel, keep going.

(55:43):
It's working. There are plenty ofcompanies and CEOs eager to hire you,
regardless of university discipline. Now,shortly after he made that post,
the stock value of his company droppedeight percent. Investors were not happy with
him, so he engaged in somepublic relations to try to neutralize the free

(56:07):
fall. He said that his commentshave been misconstrued by some. Just for
a second here, how do youmisconstrue moral courage is greater than college degree.

(56:32):
If you're currently protesting against the genocideof the Palestinian people and for your
university's divestment from Israel, keep going, it's working. Is there any ambiguity
about that? Is there any confusionwhatsoever? I believe the Warner Brothers cartoon

(57:02):
term for that would be what amaroon. I'm just I'm in awe that
people are buying this, not hisproducts. His companies are telehealth and prescription

(57:25):
medications for issues like hair loss,skin problems, other personal problems. Guys
know what I'm saying. Anyway,how is any of what he posted misconstrued?
Forty seven minutes after the hour,I think not. What do you

(57:55):
know about celebrity political athlete roasts?They were pretty common in like the twenty
tens, Like on Comedy Central theydid like a roast of Trump. One
year they did a roast of Andwhat's the idea of a roast? For

(58:17):
those that may not be aware,it's just basically the time where you can
just absolutely teartor shreds. You makefun of them, and you make fun
of whoever. The person is welcome, like they there's someone that accepts to
being roasted, you know, likeyears ago it was Trump, Trump accepted,
I will be the roasted party.And comedians, celebrities, athletes,

(58:43):
people that friends, family. Yeah, they would go on stage and it
was broadcast live on like Comedy Centralor Netflix or whatever, and you just
roast them. And to conclude theroast, the roasted party would go to
the stage and return fire. Yes, pay back roasts had been going on

(59:07):
for decades. Entertainers Johnny Carson,Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Don Rickles,
you name it. The names justoff the end of the time,
just flow. So apparently a comediannamed Jeff Ross is hired to be the

(59:30):
roastmaster of New England Patriots owner RobertKraft. And apparently Tom Brady didn't like
some of the things that he wassaying. Right after he made a comment
about Brady being drafted and something aboutoffering massages, he walks up and it's

(01:00:00):
picked up by the microphone and says, don't say that bleep again. And
you can see the comedian go puttinghis hands up like, oh, okay,
okay, okay, Tom, it'sa roast man. Don't be a
loser. Yeah. I will predictnow that he will not do well as

(01:00:22):
a commentator on television. He isway too thin skinned because the minute he
has a slip up on the broadcastand he will it's gonna happen. Happens
to everybody, and social media catcheswind of it. Oh, it'll be
recorded and played and memed and puton rinse and repeat over and over and

(01:00:45):
over exactly, and you have tojust be able to be the meme,
you have to be able to takeit. Clearly, he did not listen
to the Manly Minute segments here onthe Morning Show at Preston Scott because Tom
Brady might be a goat, buthe's not a man. Come on,
buckle it up, Tom Virtue skills. Things to teach your son. I'm

(01:01:10):
going to expand on this at theappropriate age. Get your son a pocket
knife. Assuming your son is emotionallystable, get your son a pocket knife.
You can get one of those Swisspocket knives with all the little gadgets

(01:01:31):
and show him how to use eachand every one. But there are things
that you can teach your son todo with a pocket knife. And I
think every boy should have a pocketknife and should be taught how to use
one properly, safely. Remember thisis all about looking at your son one

(01:01:57):
day as he grows and say toyour elf, NTM, you sir,
are a fine man. Makes metear guy, Just think Manly Minute Morning
Show with Preston Scott come back.US Congresswoman Kat Camick joins me next.

(01:02:19):
Got lots of things to talk about. No shortage of topics. We'll do
that next. It's our number threeshow, fifty one fifty three of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, our number three. Hello, ruminators

(01:02:52):
near and far. Thanks so muchfor making time. We appreciate it.
Don't take it for granted. Ever, He's grand. I'm Preston. It's
the Morning Show with Preston's gott.Great to be with you, and please
stand back with US. US congressWoman kat Camick, Florida's third congressional district.
How's the campaign going, Kat,Well, I wouldn't know. I'm

(01:03:14):
up here in Washington, d C. Back at it again. Yeah,
let's talk about that. You laughed? Is that one of those laughs that
we laugh when we're just trying tokeep from crying. Absolutely. I mean,
I think if you look at thestate of affairs today, no matter

(01:03:35):
who you are or what your jobis, it is clear that we are
worse off today than we were fouryears ago. And it's just so sad
how quickly things can fall apart whenyou have the resident in chief rather than
a true commander in chief. Sowe are basically working to pick up the
pieces and put the House and theSenate in a position that's going to be

(01:03:59):
great for when President Trump gets backand we can get right to work,
because we will have four years,if you really think about it, only
two really where we can do significantwork in getting this country back on track.
How important is it kat that wedo this the right way as opposed
to a bunch of executive orders.I mean, I think that's what we're

(01:04:25):
seeing play out right now. Youhave so many of the incredible things that
President Trump did, they were donevia executive order, which means it's not
codified. And when it's not codified, meaning the Senate and the House don't
come together and actually make it law, then it just goes away because the
minute that the administration turns over,as we have seen, the first thing

(01:04:47):
that the incoming president does if heoverturns all those executive orders. And we
saw how smug Alejandro Majorcis, theSecretary of Homeland Security, was when he
bragged about we took ninety one executiveorders off the books that President Trump had
had put on the books in orderto secure the order. I mean,

(01:05:08):
it's the reason why the founders envisionedarticle on the way they did, where
the People's House had the most powerbecause then it was a lasting impact.
It was deliberate, it was thoughtful, and it was long lasting. This
four years eight year turnovers that we'redealing with, it sends ripple through the

(01:05:30):
industry, through our economy, throughthe world. No one can plan on
anything except for uncertainty in the currentsystem that we have. So getting back
to regular order is a very,very big deal. The new problem that
I'm seeing come up though with theResident of the United States is that even
when issues are settled legally, ie. The Supreme Court student loans,

(01:05:50):
Yeah, he continues to I think, break the law and flout his authority.
And we're seeing this continuation. Sohow do we stop that? I
mean, clearly the way to dothat is you impeach them, or you
or you exert the power of thepurse. And at this point, the

(01:06:11):
House is not doing what it needsto do to exert the power of the
purse and wield the power of thepurse. And we don't have a willing
partner in the Senate because they juststop everything. They let we'll send things
over and then they just sit onthem. And you know, we're getting
ready to go into another appropriation seasonand I was in a meeting last night

(01:06:32):
and we were going through some strategyabout this, and there's talk again once
again about a CR. And thefact that you have so called conservative saying
we should do a CR makes myblood boil. I know for sure people
in Florida did not send their representativesto Washington to just put a rubber stamp

(01:06:55):
on Nancy Pelosi's policies and spending.I sure it's hecton And the notion that
we're just going to see r itagain is absolutely ludicrous to me because what
they don't realize is they're saying thisbecause they think they're going to get a
one percent cut in there is itactually cuts because it's based on twenty three
levels, twenty twenty three levels,it will cut defense and it will actually

(01:07:17):
increase discretionary spending. Why would inthe world would we ever give more money
to Biden's government of doj FBI,DOE, both, doees, EPA,
oh show. Why would we everdo that? That makes no sense.
But I think there's a sense herethat people care more about getting back to
the campaign trail than actually doing thework they were hired to do. US

(01:07:39):
Congress Roman Kat Camick with us.Two more segments still to come. A
lot. Just stay with us hereon the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott'son news Radio one hundred point seven WFLA

(01:08:00):
on NewsRadio WUFLA Panama City dot Com. She represents a lot of the central
portion of the Sunshine State, Florida'sthird congressional district. US Congresswoman Kat Camick
with us. She's kind enough tomake time once a month to talk over
things. Kat. I'm puzzled becauseI'm not convinced that if Republicans take the

(01:08:26):
House and the Senate, they're gonnabe anything but an obstructionist to President Trump,
assuming he gets re elected. There'sjust this insiders club that seems to
exist. I think Kevin McCarthy waspart of it. I thought Paul Ryan
was part of it. I thoughtJohn Bayner, Mitch McConnell, they're all
part of this little club with Pelosi, Schumer and the others. How do

(01:08:49):
we break this cycle? Because Ihad high hopes for Mike Johnson, but
it just doesn't seem like he's gotthe will to do what's necessary to move
the pendulum. Yeah, it's sucha weird dynamic. And I now,
having been here for three years,I see that it is. It's no

(01:09:11):
longer Republicans versus Democrats. And youknow, then you take it one step
further, and it's certainly a dynamicof advocates for big government versus little government.
And listen of the Republicans. Ican tell you that there are very
few of us little government conservatives.Yeah, we have people in the so

(01:09:33):
called conservative movement that advocate for someof the biggest government programs ever. And
I mean it makes you your headone explode. If I had to liken
it to anything, it would becoalition government. It almost feels like you
have three or four or maybe fivefactions in the Republican conference and then you've

(01:09:53):
got three or four in the Democratcaucus. And so the question becomes,
then how do you you effectively getsomething done in coalition government? And that's
really really difficult. And as ofcourse we've seen that this cycle, all
bets are off. You know,we're breaking records left, right and center
for you know, unprecedented things happening. And I will say it makes very

(01:10:16):
strange bedfellows. You know, youstart seeing where if you were to pull
up how many the Florida's delegation,for example, and who votes the least
amount of time with Joe Biden versuswho votes the most amount of time with
Joe Biden. I think people wouldbe shocked I vote the least amount of
time with Joe Biden. But thenthere's other people that are like, wait,
why is this person voting with JoeBiden ten twelve percent of the time,

(01:10:40):
Like it makes no sense. Andso I think you have to take
it from the position of each voteand how it lands. And the dynamics
up here are becoming very much adecentralized nature. And you've heard me say
it before, Preston, we're livingthrough that era of entertainment where people up
here are more concerned about giving offthe perception that they're fighting than actually fighting,

(01:11:05):
because it all comes back to I'mgoing to go out there, I'm
going to fight for you, andI'm going to use that to raise campaign
cash. Yeah, it's disgusting howmuch pressure is on you, Kat.
I mean when you first got elected. I have heard other freshman lawmakers say,
and I won't name them, butthat the speaker or the majority leader

(01:11:29):
or sorry, the minority leader atthe time would almost immediately call them in
and say, now get busy raisingmoney. Oh yeah, without a doubt.
I mean the minute that you getup here, you are given an
assessment. And that's the actual termthey use. They give you an assessment.
And the assessment is how much youowe the Republican Party for being a

(01:11:56):
part of the crew, right,and it's if you're a freshman, you
oh, about one hundred and seventyfive thousand dollars. If you get on
a good committee, you owe fourhundred and twenty five thousand dollars, and
if you're in leadership, you owea million plus. And when you say,
oh, you mean raising funds,yes, you have to go raise
that money and then you have togive that to the NRCC, the National

(01:12:21):
Republican Congressional Committee. And if youdon't, you don't get gabbles, you
don't get chairmanship subcommittee chairmanships, youdon't get your bills brought to the floor.
It is absolutely a pay to playset up, and the Democrats to
do it too. How incestuous isthe relationship between the National Congressional Republican Caucus

(01:12:43):
whatever you called it, and theparty itself so they're in the same building
enough sense, Yeah, I mean, they're all in the same building.
And the thing that's frustrating is weten like you go into that building and
you see the separation of the level. So the top level is the National

(01:13:04):
Party, the third floor is theSenate the Senate side, the second floor
is the House, and then thefirst floor, you know, just like
meeting rooms and whatever. And there'sreally no communication between the three levels.
And when people raise money for theparty, they're not raising money for the
RN either're raising money for the congressionalside, right, and so the right

(01:13:29):
arm is not talking to the leftarm. So what ends up happening is
a gross miscalculation of where resources needto be going. And that's something that
I have repeatedly said needs to befixed, because how are we ever expected
to win elections if we're pumping moneyinto one area of the country or one
race and then we're not doing anythingin another one and we're just missing opportunities.

(01:13:51):
That's a big problem. We alsodon't ballot chase. We don't we
don't we don't follow up on ballotchasing. We let the Dems just run
un roughshot over us and that's reallyreally frustrating, and it comes up the
expense of again elections. Cat standby US congress Woman Cat Camick, my
guest the final segment. US congressWoman cac Camick here on the Morning Show

(01:14:19):
with Trustin Scott. All Right,the anti Semitism Bill. I'm sure you've
seen the criticism Cat that this,because of its language and where it got
some of its guidance, does placethe Bible in the crosshairs of being considered

(01:14:39):
anti semitic. Yeah. I mean, I've heard some of the criticisms about
it, and I fundamentally disagree withthem. The fact of the matter is
that this is exactly the same languageas Trump's executive order from when he was
president, and people who are beingvery outspoken against it, who claim to

(01:15:01):
be Trump supporters are not recognizing thatthey're actually speaking out against Trump's executive order.
But was that executive order correct?I mean, you know what I'm
driving at. Yeah, yeah,And and and just because Trump did it,
you know, it doesn't mean thatit gets you know, a free
pass. So I did my homework. I actually consulted with one of the

(01:15:24):
foremost constitutional lawyers who argues before theSupreme Court often and you know, they
did a full deep dive analysis onit, and when you read the bill,
and this is this is what thisis one of the reasons that I
voted for it. One, youtake a stand. You know, hate
speech is hate speech. It doesn'tmean that, you know, you can

(01:15:46):
censor someone because they're saying something youdon't like. You know, I think
as a constitutional conservative, we haveto fundamentally protect the Constitution at all costs.
And this act, it's consistent withthe First It says in the bill,
nothing in the fact or an amendmentmade by this Act shall be construed
to diminish or infringe upon any rightsprotected under the First Amendment. And absolutely

(01:16:13):
people have the right to free speech. The minute that you begin infringing on
someone else's rights is where yours end. That's why we have criminal laws right
the minute that you start beating theever living crap out of someone that is
not protected right, that's not constitutionallyprotected. And the fact that it has
language in there that reaffirms that theConstitution is absolute, that nothing in the

(01:16:40):
Act could be construed to override theFirst Amendment, And furthermore goes on to
say that the savings clause states atourism right that no statute can diminish a
constitutional right. You go on tothink about out, has there ever been

(01:17:00):
a statue that has trumped the constitution. No, the Constitution always trumps a
statute. So we were talking aboutthis in the first segment presson about how
the courts right, the courts willmake a ruling if this were ever to
come to pass, which we're livingin crazy times right where someone said I'm

(01:17:21):
going to sue under this, underthis Act, under this statue, and
it made it all its way,all the way to the Supreme Court.
Without a doubt, I think you'dget a nine oz ruling that it does
not because it is absolutely defined inthe language of the bill itself. And
keep in mind, I serve witha lot of people who don't read the

(01:17:41):
bills, like they absolutely don't readthe bills. Bless their hearts that you
know, it's just it's a frustratingthing being up here. But no,
nothing in the Act can override theConstitution. And so let me ask you
that, and let me let mefinish this. So I heard from a
colleague who we were debating this,and he said, well, you know,

(01:18:03):
this is going to give people.This is going to give the government
an expansion of powers. I said, no, it doesn't. It actually
gives the court an ability if itis. And this is and this is
strictly under Title six, so thisis under education, right, So we're
looking at this through the lens ofthese universities are saying, oh, there's

(01:18:23):
nothing we can do. We don'thave anything that we can think our deep
into to protect our Jewish students oncampus, or any students for that matter.
Right, this is really just givingthe courts an ability to map down
on college campuses all of the thingsthat are happening. That is nothing to
do with people in churches and thenotion that this is somehow making the Bible

(01:18:46):
illegal. Listen, I recognize thatthere is. And you heard me say
it again a thousand times. Entertainment. Nothing gets people more riled up than
on social media somebody saying, oh, the Bible is now illegal according to
the House representative. That is suchb X. I almost said it all
the whole way through, so Icleaned it up for you. Keep your

(01:19:08):
some button. But that is suchnonsense, absolute nonsense, And it's just
a scheme to get people to clickon your stupid link and then you they'll
ask you for money. And it'sjust the entertainment outrage. These people have
found such a glory and objecting toevery little thing there's not glory, and
watching your country go down the drainbecause you're more focused on raising money for

(01:19:31):
your organization or your campaign. Getout of here with that nonsense. All
right, We're going to have toleave it there, Kat, thanks very
much. We'll talk again next month. Appreciate that. Thank you, all
right, Kat cam At, UScongresswoman from the third Congressional District here in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott,The Morning Show, Preston Scott, all

(01:20:03):
right, hurricane season is coming upless than a month now before the official
start, and we will we willtake time a little closer to and go
through some checklists. I'd love tomake a bunch of FM radio trans you

(01:20:24):
know, transistor radio is available thatyou power with a battery, not rechargeable
battery power. Behind the scenes tryingto make that happen. Would love to
just make them available to you andsay here you go, here's where you

(01:20:44):
can get some very inexpensively so thatyou have a portable transistor radio It's one
of the most important things you canhave because when power goes out, we're
it can't watch TV, you know, unless you have a battery powered TV,
and then even even that is sketchy. We in the radio world live

(01:21:11):
in the world of redundancy, sowe have all kinds of radio transmitters that
we can bounce our signal through andto you, which gives us the ability
to keep you informed when severe weather, and I mean big time severe weather
is moving in and upon us,and we're pleased to be able to help

(01:21:32):
you in that way. But itis Hurricane Preparedness Week kind of weird because
the tax holidays not till June first. I would have probably timed it to
the last week of May, butthat's you know, Memorial Day weekend,

(01:21:53):
and people don't want to think aboutstuff like that during that weekend, I
suppose, so I would have waitedtill June first myself, But that's okay.
There are some dues and don'ts.The tax free holiday for your supply
list is June first, and thenagain August twenty fourth. I think it's
a two week window that you haveand take advantage because you will be spared

(01:22:18):
paying any form of state taxes.I believe local tax two for any items
on that list. Florida number onein destination, number one destination for domestic
tourism. These, of course thebig stories in the press box brought to
you by Grove, a creative marketingand digital expertise. Florida ranks number one,

(01:22:43):
number two with internationals and is gainingand market share. That's good.
Reached out to visit Florida. Seeif we can get Dana Young on the
program. She's the executive director.He I don't know. I I mean,
Dana is one of those names.It could be either or. It's
kind of like any number of othernames. Terry Terry can be an either

(01:23:10):
or. But we'll try to betterunderstand what's driving this. Because I suspect
that the big theme parks, thoughthey're always going to draw people, I
don't suspect that that's the thing.I feel like it is being spread out,

(01:23:30):
which is good. I'm not opposedto the eco tourism label. I
think that's fine. I think beinga good steward is a good thing,
so that's good. And then yeah. Israel basically responded to the alleged agreement
on a peace deal with mas Byby saying, yeah, no, we

(01:23:50):
didn't agree to that. We weren'tpart of the negotiation, and so we're
going to continue our operations until weroot out these terrorists. So Israel being
Israel, all right, we comeback Animal Stories on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven UFLA in the

(01:24:17):
wild or in our homes? Welove them critters, large and small.
Time for another edition of Animal Storieson the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
This is great. By the way, I intentionally did not include the story
of the possibility of cat owners becomingschizophrenic because of owning cats, because that

(01:24:41):
really isn't the purpose of Animal Stories. That was something else. You'll have
to listen to the first part ofthe podcast to get that. You probably
don't know the name Racus. Racusis an orangutan in Indonesia that is in
the wild. Did he cause ourruckus? No, but he is causing

(01:25:06):
people to go no way. Hehas been observed as part of a observation
that's been going on since nineteen ninetyfour where they're just looking at the behaviors
of these You know the great apes, if you will, and in this
case, orangutans, and what Racusdid just blew people away. Remember this

(01:25:34):
is a wild animal. They observedthat he had an injury on the outside
of his mouth, visible injury.He picked a specific set of leaves from
a plant, chewed them up,and then took the juice, applied it

(01:25:57):
to the outside of the wound,and then took the leave out of his
mouth and applied it to the outsideof his wound. In a matter of
a few days to a week orso, wound was healed. It appears
as though they know the medicinal plantsthat are out in the wild that can

(01:26:24):
help them heal. It got intoa fight, you know, as orangutans
do, and it's just fascinating.It's apparently a specific plant that people that
live in Southeast Asia used to treatpain and inflammation. Hm. I just

(01:26:45):
that was cool to me. It'slike with you know, like your great
grandma's old you know recipe of likeoh, sweetie, if you take this
tobacca leaf and rub it on youryellow jacket, sting, it'll or something
like that, you know what Imean. Yeah, I didn't even know
if that accurate, but it soundswe don't take the tobacco leaf. I'm
just saying or something like that.Yeah, yeah, you get my point,

(01:27:06):
yep, I do. I doabsolutely. Then there's this, it's
a saga Washington State. The publicworked together with law enforcement officials when owner
of some zebras taking them to Montanapulled over to the side of the road

(01:27:29):
to when the owner was securing thetrailer, and somehow the doors swung open
and out go four zebras. Needlessto say, traffic was stopped. That's
not so. I mean, there'sa picture of them just wandering through traffic.

(01:27:50):
It's not something you see all thetime. So they get three of
them corralled in, but there wasa fourth. They got the three by
chance because a rodeo clown was drivingby the area and was able to help

(01:28:12):
corral the animals in where they wereable to get them back. But then
the fourth zebra remained at large.So here's the second story. Public urged
to steer clear of escape zebra inWashington remained on the loose. They've got
feeding zones set up for this zebra, trying to coax it out where they
can then effectively rescue the animal andbring it to its new home in Montana.

(01:28:40):
Now the third story runaway zebra hasbeen safely captured. So this went
on for nearly a week. Thezebra's name was Shug, and Shug was
in the foothills of the Cascade MountainRange. I just imagine, what's the

(01:29:01):
movie? Is it Madagascar? Wherethe animals escape the zoo and they're just
out. They're just like, ah, here we are. And I hear
the voice of Chris Rock for somereason, because I think Chris Rock was
the voice of the lead zebra.But yeah, private citizens animal control officers
were able to find Sug wandering thewoods, and they were able to coax

(01:29:25):
Sug to safety. So there yougo. Animal Stories forty seven minutes after
the hour, come Back four hundredand sixty one one tomorrow, Florida Man
Factor Fiction talk to Rob Bluie,executive editor, Daily Signal. Where did

(01:29:48):
the media Go Wrong? Segment ofthe program inspired by a question from a
ruminator. So you can infect theprogramming of this show, but it has
to be something I'm interested in.The Only time I talk about things that

(01:30:10):
I'm not personally interested in is tothen sort of kind of make fun of
something that I'm not interested in andexplain why I'm not interested in it.
If that makes sense now, it'sfirst rule of doing what we do here.
If you talk about things you're notinterested in, you're just now you
could then make the argument, soyou're interested in a baguette measuring four hundred

(01:30:35):
and sixty one feet Yes, becauseit's a kicker. A team of eighteen
bakers came together in France to cooka baguette measuring four hundred and sixty one
feet long. Members of the FrenchConfederation of Bakers and Pastry Chefs gathered at

(01:30:58):
the Chenet Bagatte show in Selnet,west of Palace to beg the bread loaf,
which measured two hundred and thirty fivetimes longer than the average French bagatte.
So an average baguette is nearly twofeet in length. That's crazy anyway,

(01:31:26):
They got the They got the Guinnessrecord. The previous record was four
hundred and thirty five feet one inch, and that was baked in Italy in
twenty nineteen, and so the baguettewas examined by an official Guinness World Record
adjudicator and confirmed as a record holder. What did they do with it?

(01:31:47):
They covered it with nutella and servedit to everybody attending the show. That's
the way to do it. Puta little neutella out. Have you ever
had nutella? Yeah, it's beena while. Just kind of who's there
hazel nutspread that looks and seems toact like chocolate? Yeah? Never really,

(01:32:11):
you know, didn't catch on.No, not really, It wasn't
ever really prominent in my home.Brought to you by Baron No Heating and
Air. It's the morning show oneon WFLA, our first today Galatians six

(01:32:39):
defeat sets in, amas is playinggames with the whole ceasefire agreement, it
wasn't look you have to have bothsides negotiating it. Israel's not interesting.
I don't blame them. I'm gonnago back to a blog, go to
my blog page. You might havesearch it out to find it, but

(01:33:00):
it's screams than silence. Look atthe look at the documentary, and then
you tell me. Florida remains numberone tourist destination for domestic tourism. Number
two in international It's hurricane Preparedness Week. We will we'll talk more about that

(01:33:24):
