Episode Transcript

(00:14):
Hoi hoi high hold holde holde hoheat heat heat heat. Good morning,
and welcome to the Morning show withPreston's kind of Preston that is Grant.
How you doing Wednesday, May thetenth, Well, now that's a special

(00:36):
day in history. We'll get tothat in near moments. Show forty nine
twenty six and day eight forty ofAmerica held a hostage and Joe's cooperated with
us yet again. We have somewonderful tape to share this morning. I'll
fit it in somewhere. It's noton the rundown, but I'm just gonna

(00:57):
fit it in somewhere because it's justgreat fun. But let's begin with a
verse of scripture. Jesus said inMatthew eighteen, beginning with verse fifteen,
if your brother sins against you,go and tell him his fault between you

(01:19):
and him alone. If he listensto you, you've gained your brother.
But if he does not listen toyou, take one or two others along
with you. That every charge maybe established by the evidence of two or
three witnesses. If he refuses tolisten to them, tell it to the

(01:45):
church. And if he refuses tolisten even to the church. Let him
to be to you as a gentileand a tax collector. Well, well,
okay, you know what's interesting aboutthis is this speaks to a malady

(02:07):
today in a broad sense. Thisspeaks to the problem that we have with
pastors not teaching properly from the pulpitand using words like sin. They've got

(02:31):
the love part down. But asyou watch, I think the term that
that was used in a lunch meetingI had yesterday was the world is discipling
even pastors. Today's culture is infiltratingthe church. The church isn't having the

(02:58):
impact on the culture as much asthe culture is having an impact on the
church. And that's clearly not theway it was supposed to be. The
church, church doctrine. You knowthat you can have a good discussion over
matters of eschatology in scripture, youknow, the rapture of the church,

(03:21):
Jesus coming back, you know,is it here? Is it here?
Is it here? But the fundamentalsstatements of faith should be rock solid,
immovable, And that's why the churchis supposed to be impacting culture. But

(03:45):
what's happened is we no longer haveany measure of Christian church discipline because the
leaders don't talk about it, don'tteach it, don't live it, don't
engage in it. There are alwaysexceptions to this, but generally speaking,

(04:10):
there's no denying the slip in pulpitsin churches across this country. It is
inescapable, and it's it's found inthe balance. Love God, love your

(04:30):
neighbor. But don't sin anymore.You're forgiven, but don't sin anymore.
It's the acceptance of sin that hastaken hold. We accept it. It's
you know, we all fall short. So because we all fall short,
we don't hold anybody in any standardsat all. Glacian six nine says,

(04:57):
let us not become weary and doinggood for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do notgive up doing the right thing. Ten
minutes after the hour, come back, take a peek inside of the American
Patriots Almanac. Next on The MorningShow with Preston Scott m a D Radio

(05:18):
Network, It's the Morning Show withPreston's Scott. Eleven minutes after the hour,
It's the Morning Show. Good tobe with you this morning. It's

(05:40):
just us today. Fascinating question toask about airline travel that has come up
with well, let's just say avideo on talk has gone viral with someone

(06:02):
thwarting or at least allegedly thwarting somethose who recline in their seats in front
of them. They've taken punitive actionswith a little bit of a hack.
Oh, come on, we're gonnatalk about that. We're gonna talk about
the etiquette of reclining while flying.Everyone knows everyone's struggling to sleep on a

(06:30):
plane. That look reclines, youknow, from upright to just slightly less
upright five degrees or something like that. Maybe everyone's struggling. So anyway,
I may tell in my hand whatmy view is. Apparently, um,
the the issue is a hot topicand divides people strongly, and so I'll

(06:54):
be fascinated to hear what you haveto say, many of you, as
we learned with the with with theissue of large people flying. Remember when
we went with the OREO discussion yesregular mega no, no, no,
no regular double stuff mega stuff andthen Oreo thins. Yeah, and then
there's the Oreo thins which of coursediscussion exactly Well, we learned from that

(07:20):
because I got an email days laterthat's funny on that discussion really dwelt in
the minds of the ruminators. Well, the ruminators are a mixed bag.
And one thing is for certain thatwe heard from some people who called themselves
out saying, yeah, I'm I'ma mega stuff or I'm a double stuff,

(07:40):
and they offered their thoughts and theybasically agreed with the idea that yeah,
it's uncomfortable for them too because theyknow that they're imposing on another person's
seat. Anyway, the point isa lot of frequent flyers are in the
audience here. Ah, So Ithink this will be interesting because the the
the setup to it all is it'sjust fascinating and it's generated an incredible amount

(08:07):
of buzz the video. And sowe'll get to that later on in the
program. May tenth, seventeen seventyfive, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain
Boys capture British held Fort Taykonderoga inNew York dub come on ooop yep.

(08:30):
Union troops capture Confederate President Jefferson Davisin Erwinville, Georgia. In eighteen sixty
five. Eighteen sixty nine, theTranscontinental Railroad is completed at Promontory point Utah.
Eighteen seventy two, The Equal RightsParty nominates Victoria Woodhall as the first

(08:52):
woman presidential candidate eighteen seventy two.Thank you very much. Wait. First
Mother's Day services take place in Grafton, West Virginia, and Philadelphia. And
in two thousand, on this date, one of our young inns, Trey,
was born. Go get him guy. Happy birthday, buddy. We

(09:16):
love you and hope you have anice day. So there you go.
Can I do it? Now?What? Play the sound? Just because
Joe Biden, ladies and gentlemen talkingabout his some of his financial accomplishments.

(09:41):
We cut the deficit by one hundredand sixty billion dollars billion B I L
O N. Wait a minute,wait a minute, wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait what did hesay? We cut the deficit by one
hundred and sixty billion dollars billion BL I O N b I L O

(10:09):
io N below ian. Now,first of all, cutting the deficit doesn't
mean a dog on thing. Cuttingthe debt means something. He just said.
We didn't spend as much as wenormally do. Big stories in the

(10:46):
press box in just a little bit, talk about some more unbelievable happenings in
public schools. Don't know how we'regonna get we We talked was it yesterday
or Monday? About? I thinkit was yesterday? What is it monday?

(11:09):
About? What if? What ifyou just don't have enough teachers to
teach the classes? What happens tothe school system? Well, another another
incident that's going to reveal the warzone that is public education. Now,

(11:33):
your wife was a public educator,was and I'm sure you know. I
don't know what she experienced at ather school. And I know that these
incidents that we talk about are notin every class or in every school,
but they're happening more and more,and so I don't know what. You

(11:58):
know, what the future looks likein public education. You've got you've got,
let's put it this way. You'vegot a lot of the students that
might have a little bit of acompass leaving because their parents care, they
don't like public education. So you'reremoving a little bit of positive influence,

(12:20):
the little bit that's out there outof the schools altogether, and what's left
teachers are just struggling. So we'llget We've got that story. Some athletes
in the news with some comments made. But this is just another example of

(12:43):
the hidden costs of an EV.Evs are everywhere. I do not understand
it. I don't get why.Look an automobile manufacturer offering an ev I.
I understand, But it's as ifgas engines don't exist anymore the way

(13:07):
they're being advertised. Oh yeah,at most every single commercial is just electric
vehicles. I don't get it,and maybe somebody can explain this to me.
But I got a story here froma guy in Columbus, Ohio,
a landscaper. He bought a Riviantruck. Now Rivian's had You're not familiar

(13:33):
with the Rivan, first time I'veheard the word. Look up a Rivian,
good looking truck R I V IA n U might be the first
electric truck out there. Huh.Let's see he got He got rear ended,
relatively low speed, no airbags,minor damage to the rear bumper of

(13:56):
his pickup. He said. II figured the repair would be expensive,
but I had no idea. Theinsurance company for the woman who rear ended
his truck assessed a damage at sixteenhundred dollars, wrote him a check,
called it a day when he gothis truck out of the repair shop,
it was over forty two thousand dollars. Why well, because there was a

(14:24):
lot more to repair. There washidden damage, damage that comes with electric
vehicles when accidents happen, And sowhen it was all said and done,

(14:45):
he had an insanely high bill thathad to go to a whole other level
of insurance, which of course willinfect his insurance rate moving forward. But
he said, look, I boughtmy truck not for any you know,
environmental reasons or anything. I justthought it was a cool truck. You've

(15:05):
seen it now, Yeah, it'sa sharp truck, good looking truck.
Sure. Yeah, But besides therepair bill, now you're talking about diminished
value. It took over ten weeksto repair his truck, so two and
a half months and a little change, oh stars, to get the thing

(15:26):
back. You factor in now costsof replacing batteries, which go anywhere from
five thousand to twenty two thousand totwenty eight thousand. Guy who writes for
technology talked about his battery and hiselectronic Jaguar needed to be replaced. It

(15:50):
had been improperly secured by a towtruck. Did you know that evs have
to be towed differently. I don'tknow anything about it. Our tow truck
driver, Anthony probably knows. Butthe fact of the matter is that evs
have to be told differently. Andthe estimate to replace the battery in his

(16:10):
Jag one hundred thousand dollars. Mostmanufacturers offer an eight year, one hundred
thousand mile warranty. But then whatif your battery goes out? I trust
me, you're stuck with a biggerrepair than if your transmission or your engine
goes out in your car. Thisjust it's gonna end badly, folks.

(16:34):
Preston Scott One News Radio one hundredpoint SEVENFLA thirty five now almost thirty six
minutes past the hour here on theMorning Show with Preston Scott. Guilty,

(17:00):
that's the verdict. What was yourreaction to a New York City federal jury
finding that Donald Trump sexually abused eJene Carroll in what nineteen ninety something or

(17:30):
another. He was not found guiltyof raping. It's a civil trial.
There's no chance of jail time oranything like that. But as I look
through the story nineteen ninety six,it's a case that's literally older than me.

(18:02):
Now, look, there's no onehere that doesn't understand that Donald Trump
is kind of a base carnal guy. At least certainly was. I mean,
he still makes comments that just causedme to just shake my head,

(18:29):
that said, what possible evidence couldthere have been? And I know that
the bar on a civil trial ismuch lower. Maybe there's an attorney out

(18:51):
there that can tell me that incivil litigation, our jurors given the direction
that there must be guilt found beyonda reasonable doubt, because I don't know

(19:14):
what possible evidence could exist for oragainst Donald Trump. And I can't help
but note that she has published abook, that he has announced that he's
running for president, and that somehow, twenty some odd twenty twenty seven years

(19:41):
after this alleged assault, she needsto go to court. How I I
circle back to Alan Dershowitz, thenoted liberal Democrat attorney who said, there

(20:08):
are two systems of justice in thiscountry, the one we've got and the
one that's attacking Donald Trump. Thisshure just and I'm open to someone pointing
out to me what I'm missing inthis case, because the briefs that I've
read and the comments that I've seenand the testimony that I've looked at.

(20:34):
I don't get it. I donot get it. And I am not
a defender of the moral character ofDonald Trump. Back with more of the
Morning Show. It's The Morning Showwith Preston Scott sixty one, another big

(21:26):
Storian the press Box. Florida hasbeen once again ranked the top state in
the country for higher education by USNews and World Report. It's held the
top ranking since the inception of therankings in twenty seventeen. The metrics considered

(21:48):
by US News and World Report includedinclude the time it takes a student to
complete two or four year programs,cost of in state tuition and fees,
the debt burden the college graduates carry. Florida improved on two of the five
metrics in the recent rankings, includingfour year graduation rate and educational attainment.
Remain number one for lowest tuition andfees. So there you go. Where

(22:11):
do you go, Florida? Wheredo you go? I mean, that's
good, that's a good thing.Of course, we'll perhaps get to some
other things relating to the education systema little later in the show. How
would you manage the budget crisis thatwe seem to be facing every few months

(22:38):
in this country. You've got theWhite House and Democrats and a standoff against
Republicans because allegedly, at the endof May we run out of money,
and if we don't increase the debtceiling, we default on some of our
loans. How would you manage that? Okay, you at home, you

(23:08):
operate a business, it's called yourhome. You have income streams, maybe
it's your income, maybe it's yoursand yours your spouse's income. And then
you have outflows, you have debts, there's in and out. That's that's
what you got. How would youmanage this exact situation? Well, that's

(23:36):
that's hard. Why is it differentto manage it at home versus what the
government's dealing with Because at home,I would have never allowed myself to get
into the position that our government isin. So I haven't even considered how
I would get my own home outof this predicament, let alone. But

(23:57):
let's say you're in this predicament.Say I'm in it, all right,
So how do you get out ofit? I don't know what do you
do? Well, obviously you stopspending money here's and just stop there you
just cut, cut off and thenbacktrack. And here's the problem. That's
what every business and every one ofus would have to do because we can't

(24:22):
access more money or more credit.See, the rules are different for the
government. Banks and lenders look atyour your your basically your p and l's
statement, your assets and liabilities,and they say, I'm sorry, we

(24:45):
can't afford to give you a loanbecause you can't afford it. You owe
more money going out than you havecoming in. You can't qualet, you
don't qualify for more credit. I'msorry. The federal government just prints more

(25:11):
money, or they expand taxes,they take more money. They have an
endless flow of money by just takingwhat they want, and we have to
at some point say no. Now, Kevin McCarthy is insisting, as Speaker

(25:37):
of the House and the head ofthe Republican Caucus, you are not going
to get another penny unless you putspending cuts in place that begin to write
this ship. As of now,Biden and Democrats refuse. So it's a
standoff. I'm bringing this up becauseI need you to understand, because I

(25:59):
think it's going to come down toyou supporting one way or the other.
We're either going to get the fiscalhouse of this country in order and it
will take generations to do it,or we won't and we will crash.
Continuing to borrow money means you're goingto get taxed higher and higher. The
economy is going to continue to spiralout of control. But you need to

(26:26):
get your mind around what this stalemateis all about and ask how would you
have to handle it. The MorningShow with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA. Our mall'sover, Our mall's done. Yes,

(27:00):
what about outdoor malls? Outlet malls? Now those will still be around.
What's the difference. I don't know. It's well, I think the outdoor
nature of it. So, likeI mean, obviously you can't do outdoor
malls successfully or very well in inthe north, in the Northeast where there's

(27:22):
a dinner right. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of kind of like are
you thinking of when you go tosay, like the Daytona Beach Outlets or
the Orlando Outlets, those kinds ofplaces. That's Sima City Beach Deston Outlets.
Okay, yeah, I think thosewill do better. Yeah, just
because of the nature of what itis, rather than one consolidated building indoors.

(27:49):
Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey, has gone to
a policy individuals seventeen and younger maynot be inside the mall after five o'clock
in the afternoon on Friday or Saturdaywithout someone twenty one or older accompanying them.

(28:18):
People aged seventeen and younger inside themall on Fridays and Saturdays must leave
the mall by five o'clock or bejoined by an adult. And the zoomers
are going nuts as zoomers still walkaround malls. As one was escorted out,
this is so bleeped up. Apparentlythis particular mall was the scene of

(28:47):
quite the fight and they're just fedup with it. Incident happened on March
eleventh, hundreds of miners surrounding afight that took place, and they're just
done with it. This is andif you look at the comments, and

(29:12):
if you listen to the comments,and you listen to these young people,
it's of course so unfair two kidsthat are not troublemakers. But let's just

(29:36):
think about this for a second.We're talking about seventeen six six, Well,
I guess if you look at theactual policy itself, it's saying seventeen
and younger, So seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, being at the
mall at night on a Friday orSaturday night. There was a time that

(30:00):
malls were a hangout right, thefood court, the movie theaters, they
would they might have a game centerof video game center. Back in the
day, there would be these hugevideo arcades at the mall. Kids would
be hanging out all over the place. But that was then and this is
now. Yeah, it's different,but I still go back to where are

(30:29):
moms and dads in all of this? Now? The parents interviewed for this
story agreed with the policy, eventhough some of their kids being interviewed hated
it. It was it was interesting, fourteen year old, this is wrong,
it's unfair. They should just banthe people that are causing trouble.
Fair enough. There's some there's somethere's some sympathy. I have to that

(30:53):
argument. Why punish everybody for theactions of a few. I get that.
I get that frustration. Parents aresaying, yeah, well the mall
stinks because of these kids. Whichkids and where the parents of those kids?

(31:17):
Now? Show you how this isshowing up in public schools. Next
hour or two of the Morning Showwith Preston Scott, five minutes after the

(31:44):
hour, and the second hour ofthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Kind
of kind of an audio magazine format, is what you've stumbled into if you
are new to the show. Tryto cover as much ground as we possibly
can. I'm still scratching my headover the the entire charge the trial against

(32:05):
Donald Trump in New York City.I mean, did this one kind of
sneak up on you? I mean, we've got the other indictment that Alvin
Bragg is thrown at him. Yeah, I didn't know this was a thing,
but it doesn't surprise me that thatthey would try something like this.

(32:32):
I could take a bunch of callson this. I'm sure I'm in such
a weird place with this story,but we'll get to that at the bottom
of the hour. I just nineteenninety six, Preston that crime. It

(32:53):
doesn't it should not have any kindof statute of limitation. That kind of
horrific. Well, this is Idon't know of any evidence other than her
word against his. It just seemsinteresting to me that so horrific. Was

(33:19):
whatever happened that it took her twentyseven years and writing a book about it
to decide to pursue charging I justand defamation. So saying that somebody is
charging you improperly and is making upa story is defamation. Whatever. Anyway,

(33:45):
I had promised you that I wouldtake you to the public schoolroom.
And this is unbelievable. It's aTennessee high school, Antioch High School.
A teacher who previously had been hitin the face by a student two months

(34:07):
earlier. Male teacher, good sizedguy, not a mighty might, just
good size, average size fella.Younger takes the student's phone. All of

(34:28):
a sudden, you hear a screamfrom the teacher. On video, she
just effing pepper sprayed me. Shetries to reach for her phone, give
me my phone. Then she peppersprayed him. He falls to his knees

(34:52):
starts screaming. She tried to grabher phone again. Can I get my
phone? Can I get my phone? I need my phone. Another faculty
member shows up. Teacher says,she pepper sprayed me. Student. Okay,
well you took my phone. CanI have my phone? No,

(35:15):
you can't have your phone he's coughingfrom the pepper spray. School says the
pepper spray incident at Antioch High Schoolrepresents a serious violation of law. In
our school policies, the student involvedhas received appropriate disciplinary consequences and accordance with
the Student Parent Handbook. Due tostudents' privacy protections, I'm not able to

(35:39):
publicly share the specific disciplinary consequences.Why see, this is some of what
has to change to me. Nophones on school campuses, No cell phones,
sorry none. We got an officephone, you know what. Office

(36:00):
owes worked great since the inception ofthe phone in the school. Until the
proliferation of cell phones in the latenineteen nineties, the school office phone was
perfect. Parents somehow managed to getthrough their day without hearing from their marvelous

(36:23):
little junior Missy and Junior and Missygot through their day without having to call
mom or Dad, which you know, darn good and well is not happening.
They've got their phones for social mediapurposes, for texting back and forth
with friends and so forth. Enough, this is off the chain, Preston

(36:46):
Scott. This is the way oneNews Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.
So what should be the policy forschools. Do you remember we said that

(37:06):
colleagues were leaving in droves. Teacherswere reporting that their peers were leaving,
quitting, finding other things to dowith their degrees, and chief among the
reasons lack of discipline in the classroom. And it's not because the teachers don't

(37:27):
try to enforce it. Sure,there's always going to be that teacher.
I'm sure you had teachers at variouslevels along the way I did that were
more lacks than other teachers. Ohyeah, where kids could get away with
a little talking, a little turningin their seat, sharing a note,
didn't really bother the teacher. Otherswere like by the book today, it

(37:51):
doesn't matter. Teachers are being assaulted, they're being threatened, they're being talked
back to, they're being pepper sprayedfor God's sake, So what is the
answer in this case over a phone? I don't know. First in my

(38:14):
mind, this type of thing,you're out of the public school system for
six months the rest of the year, and at this late in the year,
for example, it would be therest of this year and the first
semester next year. You take careof it on your own. You can
apply for readmission, and if youare allowed back in, it'll be under
a contract with a strict set ofguidelines. You assault a teacher, you

(38:37):
are that defiant. In this case, pepper spray potentially, you know,
you don't know if that guy couldhave had a reaction to something that was
on in that pepper spray that couldhave been severe. It could have been
blinded. Isn't that no telling whatcould have happened. Maybe he was an
asthma patient and he could have triggeredan asthma attack and died from it.
You don't know. But the factthat the matter is this is an assault

(39:04):
number two. Besides a policy ofno repeat, no tolerance. Second,
out their names, Out their names. Oh but they're just kids. Oh
no, if she's old enough tocarry a phone, she's in high school.
Put her name out there. Letmom and dad see their little precious

(39:28):
baby's name. And make sure thatyou put mom and dad's name in there
too. Out them. You know, a little bit of public shame goes
a long way. It does.But I'm of the opinion schools, if

(39:55):
you don't want a zero phone policy, then they check them in and they
check them out. They put themin their lockers done, they are not
on their person during the class day, leave them in their car. Phones

(40:16):
are a massive problem, folks.I don't know how any person would a
young why would a young person wantto be a teacher. The only reason

(40:44):
would be you're there to indoctrinate atthis point, or you still somehow believe
you can make a difference. AllI know is the inmate are truly running
the asylums, administrators or cowards.Largely the teachers Union has gotten in the

(41:07):
way and we have just I mean, if this is an evidence further of
the further decline of schools in publicschools, I don't know what is got
more much more to talk about,stay with us. You may remember Colin

(41:42):
Kaepernick and his teammate Eric Read theywere the primary instigators of the take a
knee stuff as Grant takes a kneein studio one A. You're right at
a herd at their and you know, my contention is that the NFL could

(42:02):
have nipped this in the butt andsaved a lot of us, a lot
of sports, a lot of businesses, a lot of headaches by just saying
no. Because you do not havea right to speech inside the workplace and
they were working. You know,there's this there's this idea that because you're

(42:23):
doing something publicly in the public forthe public, that you have a right
to do anything you want. Youdon't anyway, I don't want to.
I don't want to go through allthat again. What's interesting to me is
Justin Reid is a little brother.He has revealed in an interview that when
he came into the league as athird round pick in twenty eighteen, the

(42:47):
thinking was he was a second roundpick. He slid to the third round
pick. There's maybe in the possibilitythat people were worried that he was going
to be Eric Read number two.He said he was asked by several teams
if he would take a knee.He said that was a topic of discussion

(43:12):
now as it relates to the interviewthat he's giving here. Now, he's
a good player. He plays withthe Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know
if the effort here is to tryto make this an issue and to suggest
that that's somehow something that shouldn't havehappened. I, for one, him
grateful that that question was being asked. But his answer was interesting. He

(43:37):
said, you know, there's afine line because I would never not be
on his side. That's my blood, that's my brother, he's my idol.
He was my role model growing up. I compared everything that I did
what he did at that age tomeasure myself. I will always have his
back. But it's a fine lineyou got to play with just picking your
moments to be vocal and be loudabout it, because like I picked my

(43:58):
moments intentionally, but I don't tryto do it in a way that you
know. I've seen this movie before, so clearly he learned. He's choosing
his words very carefully. I forone, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled that
he learned a lesson. Don't dothat. It's too bad the NFL didn't

(44:20):
teach the lesson appropriately. But thenwe get to the comments of Jay Williams
formerly Jason Williams. He went withJay because when he was playing basketball,
there was another Jason Williams who happenedto be a white kid that played at
Florida Jason Williams, the black kidwho played at Duke. They were I
think he felt he was being confuseda lot, and so he went with

(44:44):
Jay Williams. And that's fine,very different basketball players. Jay Williams from
Duke exceptionally gifted basketball player. He'sa very bright, articulate guy. He's
just wrong about a lot of stuff. He just is more poli and say
Jalen Rose, who comes off justsounding stupid, But he had this to

(45:06):
say. He was in a discussionwith Stephen A. Smith and he claimed
that if Steph and Curry defeated LebronJames, which by the way, it
doesn't look like that's going to happen, that he couldn't knock James off of
NBA's Mount Rushmore. Steph Curry could, yes, that he could knock him

(45:28):
off Mount Rushmore. And Jay Williamssaid, can we just stop with the
Mount Rushmore talk? They're not eventhe best for presidents his country's ever had.
Everyone in this room was not ableto even was not even able to
vote. I just want to saythat, off the top, that's our
metric for success, that's our king. All right, brother listen, And

(45:51):
this is just a shout out toanybody who thinks like that. Mount Rushmore
is not an homage to the greatestpresidents in our history. It was an
homage to the most impactful presidents upto that point in time. And the
reason Teddy Roosevelt was on there isbecause he created the park system and so

(46:15):
as the guy who made national federallands part of this nation's landscape, literally
setting aside land for all of ourenjoyment, he got honored up there.
I myself think that you did prettywell with Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.

(46:37):
Yeah, but the first two wereslave owners. Yeah, what's your
point? Presentism is your problem.You do not look through the lens of
now to view events of history.But that's a problem that we have today.
But let's just back up a littlefurther. Mount Rushmore is a statement

(46:59):
of these are noteworthy. These arethe noteworthy basketball players, football players,
golfers, radio talk show host whateveryou want to say. And you call
it the Mount Rushmore because they're nota lot of places where human beings are

(47:21):
are are honored in a massive stonesculpture. But we are. We are
plagued by this type of political correctness. And that is political correctness once again
showing its ugly self. And welcometo the Morning Show with Preston Scott coming

(47:52):
up to thirty six minutes after thehour. So what's your thought on the
guilty verdict to Donald Trump, FederalJerry in New York City. You can
almost stop right there. That's kindof where I That's honestly, that's where
I stopped. I was like,so, this wasn't a jury of peers.

(48:13):
This was a consolidated effort and apower grab. And I don't know.
I hadn't even heard of this.I've heard of the Alvin Bragg thing.
I didn't even know this existed.Civil trial advice columnist E Jean Carroll,
Sorry, that's just that kind ofthing makes me giggle a little bit.

(48:37):
Jerry decided that Trump was not guiltyof raping her, but was guilty
of sexual abuse and defamation. Howdo you know? I just have you
seen anything that shows And I'm askingthe question, have you seen evidence or

(49:00):
heard reported evidence that was presented tothe jury. We're not There's nineteen ninety
six is when this alleged groping incidentor whatever, you know, she claims
she was raped. They had achance. Running at a store across the

(49:27):
street from Trump Tower in nineteen ninetysix, Trump was shopping for a gift
for a girl she asked for heradvice. The two shop together before he
pushed her into a dressing room andassaulted her. His legal team said that
the allegation is fabricated. He hasno idea who she is, doesn't couldn't

(49:50):
recall her in a room of fivepeople. Who are you? That's according
to Trump, including the accusation thatshe was motiv by wanting to sell copies
of her book and so as aresult of the denial, she hid him
with defamation. Trump's attorneys said inclosing arguments that the story is too far

(50:15):
fetched to be believed, said itwas made to feel sales of her twenty
nineteen memoir, argue that she wantedto disparage Trump for political reasons, stating,
you know, facts are stubborn things, and whatever may be our wishes,
our inclinations, the dictates of ourpassions, they cannot alter the state

(50:38):
of facts and evidence. The factsand evidence made plain here that Egene Carol's
story is not worthy of your belief, not even close her story. And
that's and it's just that a storyis not true. She was not raped
at Bergdorf Goodman's. She was tofame by being called out on making up

(51:01):
that story. One motivation should driveall in this courtroom is adherence to the
rule of law. To condemn someoneas a rapist as a decision you would
have to live with for the restof your lives. Don't let her throw
that burden on you. I justwant to know. I don't care what

(51:22):
Trump said in a video in twothousand and five. Trump is Trump.
Whatever someone said in a video intwo thousand and five does not make one
guilty of anything. You may think, and many of us agree that he's
not the most pleasant person in theworld, and that his moral compass is

(51:45):
slightly crooked. But don't you thinkthere has to be some overwhelming evidence to
convict someone of something like this?Going back to ninth ninety six, thirty

(52:05):
nine minutes after the hour The MorningShow with Preston Scott, forty minutes forty
one minutes now past the hour,here on the Morning Show for a seconds,
it's twenty twenty three. What canyou tell me with clarity about what

(52:29):
you did at any given point intime in nineteen ninety six. Now,
the argument is, well, butthat's a traumatic event. Fair enough,
you would remember that you remember anynumber of things that were traumatic in your
life. Going back farther than that, Okay, why twenty seven years?

(52:53):
Why wait till you've written a book? Why till now? But it doesn't
matter, Preston, Well, Ithink it does because I don't know of
any evidence. Now again, ifthere is, I'd sure love to see

(53:14):
it, because I don't know whatevidence can exist of a sexual assault going
back to nineteen ninety six. ForPete's sake. Now, let's think for
a second, because Grant brought upa great point moments ago, Let's think
for a second about the importance ofthis now to a certain extent, it's
the importance of this is diminished becauseit's Trump. Because Trump is the target

(53:39):
for all things these days. Justcharge him with something, right, Keep
in mind now the one goal here, because the polling has gone in such
a dramatic fashion towards Trump on allfronts, you got to keep him off
the ballot. But the accusation andnow this, think of what's happened in

(54:10):
the past when things had been madeup. Yeah, I noted to you
in the break. I find itvery interesting that this story basically hit the
news shelves this week, the verysame week that Buffalo Bill's punter Matt Ariza
that was a big thing before thislast NFL season kicked off back in the

(54:34):
fall was that he was allegedly aparticipant in a really brutal crime against a
woman. And it turns out thatwe learned this week that he wasn't anywhere
near where this incident allegedly took place, nowhere near. So you've got a
guy whose life, reputation, careerruined. And I'd just like to say,

(55:00):
Duke Lacrosse, Brett Kavanaugh, anybody, this is what this is.
These are the this is what theMe Too movement, all the seeds that
they've sown, this is what they'vedirectly created. Hashtag Believe All Women has
directly led to lives. Now,I'm not talking about the ones that are

(55:22):
that are guilty. That are guilty, there's evidence, but good lord,
hashtag believe all women. Like newsflash, sometimes people lie and it's gone
too far. I'm just scratching myhead at the fact that nineteen ninety six,

(55:45):
if you were to try any casein criminal court, you would have
to have evidence. How can thebar this much lower for a civil trial.

(56:06):
What's interesting is what comes to mymind is oj oj was found not
guilty in a criminal trial when therewas clearly guilt, but was found guilty
in a civil trial because the baris lower. I would maintain, watching

(56:27):
every moment of the prosecution, thathe was found not guilty for two reasons.
Number one, there was no waypeople were going to convict him,
not at that time. And numbertwo, the prosecution was horrible. They
did a terrible job presenting that case. The irony, of course, is
that OJ would write a book calledIf I Did It where he details the

(56:54):
murder of the both of them,and since he can't be tried again for
it, there's your there's your bookof admission. Anyway, back with more,
Morning Show with Preston Scott, TheMorning Show with Preston Scott on News

(57:14):
Radio one hundred point seven w fLA. The ruminators writing in, just

(57:39):
figured out my retirement plan. PresidentTrump touched me back in two thousand and
six. That was after sending mean email saying that President Trump touched in
two thousand and seven, said anotherone say no. Two thousand and six,

(58:01):
had another another question come in aboutthe case. Isn't there statute of
limitations or because it's civil I'm guessingthat there's some kind of statute on a
criminal case like this, But Idon't know that. I don't know the
laws have been constantly changing and involvingon that front. Hey, Department of

(58:23):
Transportation, pete, But interesting idea, mister racist Rhodes himself. Hey,
come on, I want some ofthat now. Proposal would require airlines to

(58:44):
provide compensation and cover expenses for amenities, including meals, hotels, rebooking flights,
when airlines are deemed to be responsiblefor stranding passengers in an airport.
I thought that was already the policy, or to a degree. Apparently it's
not. Every air line is alittle different. They're looking at regulating a
federal regulation. How about the airlines? How about you just do the right

(59:06):
thing. See, this is whathappens when you don't do the right thing.
I looked at that list and hadthe exact same reaction you did.
Why aren't you doing this? Becausemy thought automatically was, well, if
there's an airline issue, then Iknow plenty of people. What's happened to
me? I've been uh comped likea hotel room, um, you know,
things like that, and they're youknow, gotten on a flight at

(59:30):
the two ponds for Wendy's at theairport exactly. Yeah, something it's happened
to me, but apparently not somuch interesting. So yeah, I guess
I was fortunate. But now Iwant to get to what I want to
talk about, and this is thisis just this is blown up on on
social media. An anonymous TikTok usergoes by the handle the LK Show might

(01:00:02):
be from the UK, but isadvising people on how to deal with those
who recline their seats while flying.When you're on a flight, well,
it's called an unethical life hack.When you're on a flight and the person

(01:00:22):
in front of you reclimbs their seatall the way and leave you no room,
turn on the air conditioner air conabove you full blast and pointed at
the top of their head. That'sjust brutal. It's gotten two point four
million views, one hundred eleven thousand, three hundred likes as of the writing

(01:00:45):
of this article, eight sixteen thousand, two hundred shares, fifty two hundred
saves, and twenty nine hundred comments. Comments range from there two kinds of
people in this world, those whorecline and those who don't care a right
sorry, those who reclining and don'tcare and those who will never recline.

(01:01:07):
Someone else wrote, recliner seats arethere to recline. Yeah. Another commenter,
though, said, and air consare there to air con. Others
right in those seats should not recline. Now you pointed out, and we

(01:01:29):
all know then unless you're sitting infirst class where they might recline a little
bit more right, you're not moving. You're about five degrees. Man.
That's about it. And it reallydoesn't like if can we just get we
understand everyone's struggling, right, Noone likes the comfort or lack thereof of

(01:01:51):
airline seats. We're all struggling here, so you know what, just but
if your seat back, if yourtrade tables down and the seat in front
of you is reclined, that sometimesis a little challenging. But here's the
bottom line. It's their seat.They can recline or can they? So

(01:02:14):
here's my question for you. Whatis your flying etiquette when it comes to
reclining. Do you recline or doyou not? And if you do or
if you don't, what's your reasoningor what are your thoughts on this entire
subject. I'm a communist on this. We're all in this together. Eight
five zero two zero five WFLA.I'd love to talk to frequent flyers and

(01:02:38):
what you've observed. Next on theMorning Show. Getting a lot of emails

(01:03:01):
on the Trump civil case finding I'llget to those later on this hour,
but it is the third hour ofthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm
Preston. That's Grant Allen over there, and we're taking calls and we'll do
it for the next half hour.If you choose to take part, it's

(01:03:25):
a simple question. Do you reclineor do you not win? Flying?
And what would your reaction be ifsomeone decided to be passive aggressive, more
on the aggressive side and point they'reair conditioning on the top of your head,

(01:03:50):
would it bother you? Would yougo, hey, thanks? I
know Grant, They're like, ohthanks, Bro. I would say,
yeah, I appreciate the extra air. Sure you don't want some, Matt,
what about you? Are you frequentflyer? Not really? But I
do fly pretty like what's a question? Year? But I fly out of

(01:04:10):
Tallahassee and so they only fly likethe little planes out there. Sure,
and so the seats flight coliner reclinedlike an inch. So the key to
it is you. You recline itas soon as you sit down before the
people behind you get in. Thenthey never know. See, you don't
bother them. As far as theair condition is concerned, any air condition
you can get on those little planesis great. So so anything you want

(01:04:30):
on me. I've even taken myneighbors if they're not there, So you
just you just take it so thatway they can't complain that they're reclined.
And the nurses are so eager toget out of tallahassee, not the nurses
to flight attendants that they don't notice. They're just gonna go by because you
know, it's not like that halfinch or seat recline is going to save
your life if there's a God forbidan emergency landing. Yeah. But see,

(01:04:53):
okay, I'm gonna poke one holein your in your your method.
Um, you'll know if the seatyour client, because the seat next to
you isn't now because it's only likea half inch and it could just be
an old broken seat. That's yourthat's your argument you're making and you're sticking
to it, right. That's likeI'm sitting in it, and so therefore

(01:05:14):
I'm heavy and I'm sitting. Yeah, I'm not reclining. I don't know
boy seat, Sorry about that.I'm heavy. Yeah, thank you,
Matt appreciate that. So Matt's resortingto deception and lying to accommodate his desire
to recline. So bold strategy continLet's see if it works out for him.
Eight five zero two zero five wfla one TikTok user. We're talking

(01:05:35):
about a video where someone hated thefact that people reclined their seats, and
so he aimed the air conditioning jeton their head and just made a miserable
Oh that is so petty. Here'ssomebody else who wrote in I pay for
the seat that reclines. The personright below them replied, I pay for
the seat with a usable table.You take you you're reclining, takes away

(01:05:59):
my usable table. Now here's someinteresting points about all this. People who
support seat reclining list needing more space, being tall, back conditions, neck
conditions, needing every bit of inclinethat they can get to take the pressure

(01:06:20):
off of their back, their neck, whatever. But there wasn't a lot
of sympathy going around. It's theinternet. On the other side, they
detested reclined seats because knee aches fromuncomfortable seating interrupted movie watching. Oh soone

(01:06:41):
reclines their seat, the movie screendips down, you can't see it.
Meal or drink related accidents because thatdropped down tabletop, you don't have as
much room for your food or abeverage it. Everything condenses even with the
limited amount of reclining. Both sidesargued that more rooms should be available,

(01:07:05):
and that if you need it,exit road tickets, extra legroom tickets,
business class, or just go tofirst class if you feel so strongly about
it. Then someone said, Ithink we should be directing our frustration at
the airline that puts those roads soclose together and crams a few of us
in there. Yeah, but ifyou're the airline, the cost of travel

(01:07:28):
right now, it's not getting anycheaper. Jet fuels just gonna get more
expensive, and so they're gonna theyhave to maximize their trips some of you.
I've been on a flight where Iwas almost the only person on board.
It was years ago. I wascommuting for doing college basketball for Fox,

(01:07:55):
and I was on a flight oneof these little commuter flights to Atlanta.
From Atlanta to one of these littlecollege Towns. I was it.
I had the whole plane to myself, so you can't. I mean,
obviously the airline lost a ton ofmoney on that flight, So are you
know? So? I anyway eightfive zero two zero five to WFLA will

(01:08:17):
take another call or two next TheMorning Show with Preston Scotty waited to take

(01:08:40):
another call here and again we're justasking what your habits are when you fly?
Do you recline? Do you notrecline? What are your thoughts on
all of this? Should the airlinesbe providing more room? Do you understand
why they don't ray? What doyou think? Well, I'm just putting
here in amazement thinking what are thesewonderful recliners that people are talking about on
airlines? I mean, it makesit sound like it's some kind of lazy

(01:09:04):
boy electra barka lounger thing, whichI've never seen a seat that's gone back
more than like two inches, likematch that? Yeah? Is it that
big of an inch can be?I mean, as seriously, is it
that bigger man inconvenience if the guyin front of you leans back two inches?
Because I've never really seen full recliningin the cattle class like I fly.

(01:09:30):
Yeah, you know, Ray,I'll be honest with you, I
am not certain that there's quote astandard to all of that. I know
that there are some airlines who intheir seats seem to recline more than others.
But generally speaking, there isn't muchto be gained, but there is

(01:09:51):
enough to be gained that again,the table that drops down in front of
you, or if you're on alonger flight, the screen does change pretty
dramatically enough that it makes it difficult. That said, it's still allowed,
and it still becomes a matter ofwhat are your thoughts on the guide putting

(01:10:12):
the air conditioning on the head ofthe people in front of him. I
thank you, hilarious, Patty,but hilarious, Ray, thanks very much
for calling in. Always good fora laugh. M Yeah, I you

(01:10:33):
know, obviously we're not changing anything. It's it's gonna happen. But I
again, I get back to theseare some of the reasons why at this
point I don't fly hardly ever,and when I do, I'm flying first
class. Gosh, I think it'sbeen easily four years since I've flown.

(01:11:00):
Yeah, it was before COVID twentynineteen something like that. I flew once
during COVID one way. I haven'tno, I'm I'm like you, totally
uninterested in the entire affair. Justit's just a pain. Now. Yeah,
it's obviously if you're if you're makinga long trip and you don't want

(01:11:21):
to take two or three days toget somewhere out of a one week vacation,
you're gonna fly. You're gonna justyou're gonna just deal with it.
But but having said that, Ido everything humanly possible to arrange trips or
whatever I'm doing to not fly.But if I do, I'm going first

(01:11:45):
class. I'm paying the money.I just because of all of this,
and because I'm six five and twohundred and fifty pounds, I don't I
just don't want to deal with it. I just I have no interest in
any of it. I've flown coacheconomy most of my life. But from

(01:12:09):
here on out, whatever you wantto call me or say about it,
that's fine, I'll own it.But that's just that's me. And again,
the person that aims the air conditioningon my head, I'm going to
have some fun with that. Butlike you said, it's petty, but
this is a thing now. So, yeah, when we come back.

(01:12:31):
Pretty interesting announcement was made yesterday,and you'll hear it next twenty one minutes
past the hour. This is somegood fodder last night. Hey, it's
Tucker Carlson. You often hear peoplesay the news is full of wise,

(01:12:56):
but most of the time that's notexactly right. Much of what you see
on television or read the New YorkTimes is in fact true in the literal
sense. It could pass one ofthe media's own fact checks. Lawyers would
be willing to sign off on it. In fact, they may have,
but that doesn't make it true.It's not true. At the most basic
level, the news you consume isa lie, a lie of the stealthiest

(01:13:17):
and most insidious kind. Facts havebeen withheld on purpose, along with proportion
and perspective. You are being manipulated. How does that work? Let's see,
if I tell you that a manhas been unjustly arrested for armed robbery,
that is not strictly speaking a lie. He may have been framed.
At this point there's been no trial, so no one can really say.

(01:13:39):
But if I don't mention the factthat the same man has been arrested for
the same crime six times before.Am I really informing you? No,
I'm not. I'm misleading you.And that's what the news media are doing
in every story that matters, everyday of the week, every week of
the year. What's it like towork in a system like that? After

(01:13:59):
more than thirty years in the middleof it, we could tell you stories.
The best you can hope for inthe news business at this point is
the freedom to tell the fullest truththat you can. But there are always
limits, and you know that ifyou bump up against those limits often enough,
you will be fired for it.That's not a guess, it's guaranteed.
Every person who works in English languagemedia understands that the rule of what

(01:14:24):
you can't say defines everything. It'sfilthy, really, and it's utterly corrupting.
You can't have a free society ifpeople aren't allowed to say what they
think is true. Speech is thefundamental prrequisite for democracy. That's why it's
enshrined in the first of our constitutionalamendments. Amazingly as it tonight, there

(01:14:44):
aren't many platforms left that allow freespeech. The last big one remaining in
the world. The only one isTwitter. Where we are now, Twitter
has long served as the place whereour national conversation incubates and develops. Twitter
is not a partisan site. Everybody'sallowed here, and we think that's a
good thing. And yet, forthe most part, the news that you

(01:15:06):
see analyzed on Twitter comes from mediaorganizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.
You see it on cable news,you talk about it on Twitter.
The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in
charge. We think that's a badsystem. We know exactly how it works,

(01:15:27):
and we're sick of it. Startingsoon, will be bringing a new
version of the show we've been doingfor the last six and a half years
to Twitter. We bring some otherthings too, which we'll tell you about,
but for now we're just grateful tobe here. Free speech is the
main right that you have. Withoutit, you have no others. See
you sooner reaction the return of theKing, it's like the Lord of the

(01:15:51):
Rings sequel. Well, first ofall, I'm not sure I agree that
there's one left Twitter as the bastionof freedom of thought, because we still
know that people are being DP platform, shadow band suppressed, etc. We

(01:16:12):
also know that Elon Musk has hadsome issues and has taken some people off
of Twitter for things that he didn'tlike personally. And so I'm not sure
that Twitter is totally free and clearyet, but by and large it still
is where people are. I won'tdisagree with that. But is it the

(01:16:34):
bastion of liberty that Tucker claims itis. I don't think so. I'm
not particularly hung up on it.I think the engagement, but the Twitter
well hang on though, I mean, just and then you can continue.
Yeah, he's foundationally basing his entireshow on that fact that this is where

(01:16:58):
everything's for discussion. But it isn't. It isn't yet. Now, Haddie
said Twitter is getting to a placeTwitter wasn't always and we're getting better and
it's getting better. But that's notwhat he's said. And so I'm I'm
just you know, I'm that guythat thinks, Okay, if the foundation

(01:17:19):
isn't isn't full and level and squarewhat you build on it is going to
eventually become out of plum and we'llfall. And so I think it does
matter, but continue. I justthink the possibility of Twitter becoming another avenue
of the decentralization. I know,Twitter's huge but by and large it's it

(01:17:44):
is a medium that is outside theaccepted narrative of the mainstream media, and
posting exclusively to that opens up awhole new way of using Twitter. And
so I think I'm I'm excited forit, all right, I think this
is going to be sick. Didyou know that Twitter did shows? No,

(01:18:06):
then they don't. Really, thisis kind of groundbreaking. This is
an entirely new way of looking atTwitter. Usually it's literally just been this
is Twitter jumping into the YouTube,into the rumble, into the exactly.
That's huge, into the world ofother formats, other kinds of content.

(01:18:28):
Yep. So that's that's big newson that front. Now we have kept
our Twitter page, despite the uncertaintythat I still have about where Elon Musk
is taking it. It's better,there's no doubt that. But there's still
some issues. We're still seeing somesuppression, are we not. It's gotten

(01:18:51):
better, it's hard to I've actuallyseen a very a significant fewer amount of
leftist content. It actually seems tobe kind of evening out a little bit
from just fewer, fewer leftist contentor more conservative right of center content,

(01:19:14):
because it would trouble me to seeless leftist content because that's a sensory.
I think we're seeing less leftist contentbecause there weren't that many leftists to begin
with, or I mean, therewere a lot, but it wasn't it
was it always skewed so far left. We didn't realize it was actually a
little bit the equilibrium was actually alittle bit more center. We're just getting

(01:19:40):
the right leaning voices and center rightvoices are actually getting there an opportunity recently.
So that's just pure anecdotal from myengagement on the app Daily twenty eight
minutes after the hour. We'll seehow it all unfolds, and we'll be
here to talk about it on theMorning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning

(01:20:02):
Show with Preston Scott all right,thirty six minutes after the hour. At
the Morning Show tomorrow, Steve Stewart, Doctor David Herts joins us. Help
you feel a little bit better,try to help you find a job.
Doctor Kim Morris will join us.We'll take down the road again. Of
course, the big story in thepress box New York Jury, New York

(01:20:25):
City Jury. More importantly, Yeahfinds Donald Trump sexually abused e Gene Carroll
in a civil suit. She saidit happened in nineteen ninety six. We're
not going to hash through this thisentire segment. You just you form whatever

(01:20:47):
opinion you want. Obviously, thejury has allegedly evidence. We know,
a civil bar is much lower thana criminal bar. He's not facing any
kind of jail time. But Icannot help but think that this comes twenty

(01:21:09):
seven years after the alleged incident,and that what possible evidence could there be?
I just anyway, US News WorldReport said Florida's number one for higher

(01:21:31):
education. Several different metrics involved.This is interesting. MTV is done.
Really. MTV will close its doorsthis week after thirty six years, as
part of the latest round of masslayoffs by Paramount Global, the owning company

(01:21:57):
launched in nineteen eighty seven. Now, of course, music television MTV is
no longer really music television anyway.They've they've they've slowly evolved and gone to
shows that are meaningless and still reality. Yeah, reality TV. If that
I didn't even know what their currentprogramming is. Yeah, I mean,

(01:22:19):
I certainly don't watch it. Ijust know that that they've aired a lot
of this, like these teen quotereality shows that are not reality because they're
they're putting on for television. Youknow Big Brother for example, that's CBS.
I understand, but it's the samegenre of program. They know they're

(01:22:41):
on TV, they know that it'sbeing recorded, they're acting that said.
Music television now is found on YouTube. Artists released music videos and they're on
YouTube. And so there's really nothingmore to that. But this is what
I found fascinating. This story brokethis morning. Governor of California, Gavin

(01:23:03):
Newsom oil slick himself has not endorsedthe cash payment idea being brought forward for
reparations. He has suddenly gotten coldfeet. Listen to this. Remember now
the Reparation's task force is recommending onepoint two million dollars for a single recipient.

(01:23:27):
He said that the legacy of slavery, quote is much more than cash
payments. This has been an importantprocess and we should continue to work as
a nation to reconcile our original sinof slavery and understand how that history has

(01:23:48):
shaped our country. Beyond saying thatit's much more than cash payments, many
of the recommendations put forward by thetask force are critical action items. We've
already been hard at work addressing breakingdown barriers to vote, bolstering resources to
address hate. I'd love to knowhow you do that? Tell me,

(01:24:11):
Oh, tell me, Gavin.How does a government cause someone to not
hate? I hated that sandwich.I didn't mean it. I didn't mean
it. Really, how does onelegislate hate? The Morning Show Preston Scott

(01:24:41):
Our Buddy Lee Williams, the GunWriter, has a new column out It's
what the media doesn't want you toknow about its mass murder narrative, and
this was clearly inspired by events unfoldingat a bus stop in Brownsville, Texas
on sun Day. You might nothave heard about the story. Guy driving

(01:25:05):
a land Rover, thirty four yearold with an extensive criminal record, blew
through a red light, barreled straightinto a large group of people waiting at
a bus stop at a very highrate of speed. The bus stop was

(01:25:25):
located outside the Ozamon Center, whichprovides care for the migrant community that is
blowing up Brownsville. Eighteen people werehit, six killed instantly, two died
later. The driver, a guynamed George Alvarez, described by police as
uncooperative, tried to flee the scene, gave investigators, fake names. It's

(01:25:51):
facing a lot of charges, Leewrites, but it's interesting that the story
is already disappearing from legacy media newscastsand websites. There were no protests,
marches, calls to ban rage roversor other SUVs. No one filed a
lawsuit against range Rover organized a boycott. No one from the White House went

(01:26:12):
blood dancing at the scene. Twentyfour seven. Coverage that normally follows a
mass killing involving a firearm never materializedbecause, as horrific as it was,
the Brownsville killings did not fit thelegacy media's mass murder narrative. And he
starts to tick off the reasons raceblack lives do not matter to the legacy

(01:26:34):
media, at least not as much. White victims always receive more media coverage
than a killing spree where the victimsare people of color. The race of
the murderers matters too. A whiteshooter will always generate more coverage than a
black Asian or a Hispanic shooter.Downplaying or ignoring killings in a minority community
as racist, but this type ofracism the media allows. No one gets

(01:26:59):
canceled for what they don't cover.He goes on to mention the weapon if
an AR or an AK is usedin a mass murder, the legacy media's
pre written stories, waiting and readyexperts, biased anti gun advocates are already
there. Media wants you to believethat assault weapons are responsible for most firearm

(01:27:19):
murders. Then he goes to theFBI UCR crime reports ten thousand, two
hundred and fifty eight firearm homicides intwenty nineteen, three hundred and sixty five
of them involved rifles, all typesof rifles. The FBI neither defines nor
maintains a specific data for assault rifles. By the way, I'm convinced that

(01:27:46):
one of the biggest problems we're facingis that people believe that are stands for
assault rifle. We don't have thatlabel with lumber or hammers or bricks or

(01:28:08):
vehicles. You imagine that that landrovers an AAR. Oh it's an r
land rover. Who hey that lumber? What kind of lumbers at? Oh?
That's uh that that that's pressure treatedAAR lumber. Oh whoa whoa hey.
I didn't mean anything by it,pal. We've allowed the term r

(01:28:30):
The letters are to mean it's allright and that's not what it means.
Motive, politics, gender, allof it plays a role, Lee writes
about in his column, which iswhy we suggest that you you subscribe.
And he offers all kinds of proof, all kinds of data, all kinds
of information. That's why we havehim on the show. The gun Writer

The manager of a downtown Nashville Hiltonhas been charged with aggravated burglary and assault
David Patrick Neil fifty two. I'llshow the picture to Grant. There he
is. Oh, I saw hisface. Now I remember where I saw
this story. The lawsuit alleges thathe cloned a key to a hotel guests

(01:30:03):
room, and about five am onMarch thirtieth, the guest, Peter Brennan,
woke up and found that mister Neilhad entered his room using the cloned

(01:30:28):
key. Brennan reportedly screamed because hefound the night manager sucking on his toes.

(01:30:59):
M oh lord mice abdomen hurt.The manager said that he entered the
room because he smelled smoke and wantedto check on him for his safety.
Interesting that Neil did not report anysmoke smelled a hotel security and no one
else smelled any smoke either. Brennansaid, all my life, you just

(01:31:26):
have that sense of security, thatsense of peace. Right, It's not
like you're camping and you kind ofhave to keep one eye open. You
have a security that's yours. Youclose your eyes, you go to sleep,
You're safe, You're protected. Itwas a complete violation. I felt
so shocked. It was who areyou? Why are you in your room?

(01:31:48):
It was why is this person?And the picture fits. He has
a record of forgery, drinking anddriving manslaughter conviction which he served prison time
for. And apparently Hilton didn't doa whole lot of background checking. Oh

(01:32:10):
wow, but this guy's like dealingwith severe post traumatic stress disorder and I
guess so I got nothing else.And that's how you end the show.
