(00:17):
Good ay, and welcome to Thursdayon the Morning Show with Rust that Scott
made the eleventh show forty nine twentyseven. I'm Preston. That's Grant,
Hello and hi, how are you. I hope you had a good night
of rest and you're ready to go. Clearly you must be, because you're
tuned into the radio program. Wewon't let you down. Thursday generally a

(00:40):
busy day here on the program today, no exception. Steve Stewart joins us.
Doctor David Harts will take out alittle road trip Kim Moore. Doctor
Moore will guide us on career choicesand paths. I wonder if there's another
career path still in my future.I don't know. There could be,
There could be, don't you neverknow? You just don't know what life

(01:04):
has in store. Let's go toScripture Proverbs six six through eight. You
hear Proverbs and you're probably going,boy, here comes some wisdom. Uh
huh. Consider these words. Goto the ant you sluggard. I just

(01:30):
love that word, sluggard. Considerits ways and be wise. It has
no commander, no overseer or ruler. Yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.Every culture, every culture from the most

(02:01):
advanced to the most primitive, understoodand understands the concept of work and paying
the bills. Those bills may ormay not come in the form of something

(02:23):
you get via email or in themail, but the concept of exchanging work
for provision in some former fashion isunderstood. Those tribes in the Amazon that
are these untouched tribes, they stilloperate under the exact same system. And

(02:52):
that's a remarkable thing. It's universal. God's word obviously is universal. It
applies to all. If you wantto grow your faith, the same rules
apply. That's the beauty of God'sword. It is able to simultaneously speak

(03:16):
in multiple layers. It can speakto our physical life, it can speak
to our spiritual life at the exactsame time and be in total and complete

(03:36):
harmony with one another. It's it'san amazing thing. So as you consider
the aunt sluggards, consider it spiritually. Are you working at your faith growing

(04:05):
your knowledge of God's word so thatwhen difficult times come you have a provision,
So that when winter seasonally comes intoyour spirit, into your life,
you have a provision stored up torely on those little scriptures from Sunday School.

(04:30):
That's called rama. That is theGreek word rama, which means bits
and pieces, sayings and utterances,small little segments and tidbits. That's what
we are to be storing up.You'll read scripture and something will just jump

(04:56):
off the page and you will rememberit. You will cling to it.
You will say there was a youmay not know exactly where, but that
that word will just come forth ina winter season that you've stored up and
saved in your heart. Why that'sgood, Batt'll preach all right. Ten
minutes after the hour, look insidethe American Patriots Almanac and let's get going.

(05:21):
Show forty nine twenty seven of TheMorning Show with Preston Scott, The
Morning Show with Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven uf LA.

(05:50):
I just cruised through the headlines.I'm glad we're together in this. Dad
always said misery loves company, andmisery might be a bit of a strong

(06:13):
word, because I think that ifyou maintain a godly christ centered perspective,
you understand, you just get it. We are living in a fallen world
and the core issue is a threeletter word. It's not a four letter

(06:34):
word. It's a three letter word. It's called sin. And everything that
we are seeing, everything that we'redealing with, all of the issues,
it all circles back down to that. So often we see symptoms, core

(06:55):
problem, core cause sin. Allright, let's see May eleventh. Anything
significant you know of on this date? Anything? Jump out? No?
Yeah, yeah, kind of anondescript day. Sixteen forty seven, Peter
Stuyvesant arrives in New Amsterdam later NewYork, becomes governor of the Dutch colony.

(07:18):
There's a there's a housing, aborough in an area there called Bedford
Stuyvesant. In fact, some ofthe great basketball players of the early NBA
came out of that area, ConnieHawkins and others like him. Seventeen ninety
two, Captain Robert Gray becomes thefirst white explorer to sail into the Columbia

(07:43):
River, which he named after hisship. Eighteen fifty eight, Minnesota becomes
the thirty second state. I thinkJoe Biden was there. I think he
cut the ribbon. I could beI might be mistaken. Nineteen forty seven,
BF Goodrich Company announces the development ofa tube bliss tire. Have you

(08:05):
seen on lawnmowers. The new tirethat has no tube, no air.
Nope, I'm not. That's athing they are. They have been working
for a couple decades now on anairless tube Bliss tire, and you'll find

(08:28):
them at some of the big boxstores when they've got the lawnmowers out.
Sometimes it's like a home depot thatrents mowers. They it's almost like a
little honeycomb kind of design on theside, and it's a rubber, low
profile tire that gives and has itso it's not like firm rubber where you

(08:48):
feel like you're riding on a skateboard. It has a really nice ride,
but you never have to worry abouta flat tire. That fascinates me the
idea of I mean, because that'sjust one last thing that some little nerd

(09:09):
can do to you let air outof your tires. Remember remember when we
were dealing with that in the news, that anyone with an SUV was finding
air let out of their tires bythe Greenies. Don't take it personally,
they would leaving notes. Don't takeit personally, but you need to switch
cars. I don't think so.Nineteen ninety seven, IBM's deep Blue computer

(09:33):
beats world chest champ Gary kaspar Offfor the first time. It was a
computer defeating the reigning grand master nineteenninety seven. And look at where we
are. AI is going to startpredicting hurricane season no more a man made
It's gonna be everything there. It'sall gonna be taken over. I wonder

(09:56):
if they're gonna be is AI goingto develop rest a piece where what's the
limit to AI? The nerds outthere will say there is none. It'll
become self a whale. And thenthe end of the world is near sixteen

(10:18):
after the hour, twelve minutes ofthe hour, easing into the program.
We've got the big stories in thepress box coming up in just a few
minutes. In the shortage of thosethere are two camps probably that exist,

(10:43):
maybe three. In the world ofsports. I remember when the touchdown celebrations
got regulated by the NFL my dad'sera, and a lot of people probably
still think act like you've been therebefore when you score a touchdown. Others

(11:07):
love the entertainment of it. Istill remember back in the day when the
Philadelphia Eagles, and I'm talking wayback in the day. Harold Carmichael and
that era. After they'd score atouchdown, they would gather in a circle
in the end zone, handful ofthe players and they would act like their

(11:31):
rolling dice and they'd be they'd bejust basically throwing craps just on the on
the ground and it was just itwas just funny. I don't know why
that hit me is funny, butit was. And then there's a group
of people that just say, oh, come on, have some fun.
It's it's all right. It's notthroughout the game. It's when you score

(11:54):
a touchdown, let them celebrate.And I'm probably in that camp more than
I'm in the camp of act likeyou've been there before. Although there is
something very cool of a superstar justhanding the ball to the official, like
yeah, I just did this again. Here you go. We won't celebrate

(12:16):
because I do this all the time. There's something cool and understated about that.
But now with baseball, this isan interesting story to me. Division
three Minnesota College Baseball League, andit's it's just when I saw the schools

(12:41):
involved, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're
now this is my neck of thewoods. This is the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference Division three. And this iswhere my best offer to play basketball came
from. Gas Stavus Adolphus, Lasour, Minnesota. Ho Ho ho Green Giant.

(13:07):
That's that's Lasour, Minnesota. Thevalley of the Giant, those vegetables,
that's that's Lasour. Anyway. Thebaseball program, Drake sinds or scenes
or signs. He hits a homerun over the left field fence. He

(13:31):
gets past the batter's box. He'sabout to take his run down around the
bases. His dugout is on thethird base side, so I'm painting the
picture here. He takes his batand flips it. He doesn't flip it
as in like a bat flip traditional. He takes the bat and chucks it

(13:54):
high in the air over to theother side, towards his dugout. Okay,
it was an important home run inthe game. The guy's a big
time hitter. He's good. Herounds the bases, steps on home plate.
The run counts home run, onerun game. The umpire promptly throws
him out of the game for thebat flip. Huh. Now I've watched

(14:20):
the video of the bat flip.I would call it a bat chuck.
He clearly wasn't showing up anybody,even though that happens, right, I
mean, that's part of baseball inall levels. Pitcher throws one down the
middle, or tries to tries tothrow one, an he lets it get
to the wrong part of the plateand boom, it's gone. But there's

(14:46):
the unspoken ruler, you don't showup. But he didn't. He didn't
flip the bat or anything. Buthere's my question, what if he did.
Is that such a I mean,is that does that deserve getting thrown
out of the game? The managergot thrown out for arguing about it?
Coach, Sorry, it's not amanager in college, it's a coach,

(15:09):
the head coach. I've always foundthat interesting. And in pros he's the
manager. In college he's the headcoach. What do you think about that?
You're kind of old school? Yeah, but I don't mind it.
Though, I don't mind the batflips. I actually think that in this
era of like very dramatic bat flips, it's it's kind of ice cold when

(15:33):
in a really really important part ofthe game and you just absolutely hit a
dinger. Yeah, and then youjust calmly kind of just drop your bat
and you're slowly sauntering the first base. That's almost more cold like that has
a degree of like, oh,shoot, he's experienced, he's been here

(15:56):
before. But I don't mind thebat flips. I even think some of
the more when you get into theLatin American influences of baseball and they have
the very like severe, very pronouncedbat flips, I actually think those are
hilarious for what they are. Butyeah, that's getting ejected over it.

(16:17):
Nah, it's kind of you know, you have to you have to embrace,
especially I think in college sports youhave to embrace the emotion of it.
All right, you really do needto do that. Are going breaking
ball? Drilled that deep? Wewait, wait, bad, get out
of here. It's gone. It'sgone. It's gone. It's gone,

(16:40):
it's gone, it's gone. It'sGod, It's God. Paul rod Rogers,
Paul Roger Rogers over the Bullpen AskeetCase Gawracy, Deep deep, Deep
into the Oxford Afternoon. Hang abag up, baby, hang that bang

(17:02):
down. THEOD Morning Show, PrestonScott. A lot of stories we could

(17:26):
be talking about. I'm gonna focuson a few in the big stories in
the press box this morning. Goodmorning, Welcome to the Morning Show with
Preston, Scott and Preston. That'sGrant Allen Steve Stewart talking about what's going
on in around the capital city.Next hour, Doctor David Hart's Next hour,
help you feel a little bit better. In the third hour, doctor
Kim Moore joins us, take afew minutes talk about what's going on career

(17:48):
wise in the region. Kevinor RhyndesSandis and these are things we will definitely
touch on tomorrow. We're gonna talka little bit about tort reform with with
someone with the American Tort Reform Foundation. Did Florida go far enough? What's
the what is the sweet spot ontort reform where you still allow for appropriate

(18:11):
damages and necessary lawsuits, but youdon't drive the entire industry into bankruptcy whatever
that industry is, by unnecessary litigation. That's that's where we've been struggling for

(18:32):
years. Medical malpractice is absurd.What happens when when there's an actual case
anyway, I gotta I gotta stopthere. We'll talk about the legislative session,
but clearly what's making a lot ofheadlines is public education in Florida the
governor. Basically, it's a packageof four bills called the Teacher Bill of
Rights. Now the union doesn't lookat it that way, but some of

(18:56):
the changes that are that are insidethese or bills are significant. Florida is
going to become the first state toallow the use of a Classic Learning test
as an alternative to the SAT orthe Act. That's important. Of course,
the paycheck protection unions hate this.They have to collect their own dues

(19:18):
now can't stand it. Also requiringmembership of at least sixty percent of a
district's faculty to remain recognized by thedistrict. I still think there's work to
do so that teachers that are notaffiliated with the union are not bound by

(19:40):
whatever the union negotiates. You know, there's some districts that are still not
paying teachers what the legislature enacted yearsago, those minimum salary increases, because
they've tried to use it as abargaining chip and they're hurting their membership.

(20:07):
There's an aspiring Teacher's bill, it'spart of fifteen thirty seven. Temporary teaching
certificates will be good for five yearsrather than three and aspiring teachers can actually
get a teaching certificate even if they'renot enrolled to become quote a teacher,
if they have work related experience andcan demonstrate aptitude to teach a particular class.

(20:37):
School Board limits twelve to eight years. And then there's going to be
a referendum which would be voted onby all of you that will determine whether
or not elections or partisan or not. One other part of the package of

(20:59):
bill is House Bills three, sorry, three seventy nine. Students can't connect
the social media sites including TikTok,on district servers, on school campuses,
on school computers. That's a stepin the right direction. There's more.
We'll get to it next on theMorning Show. This is the Morning Show

(21:22):
with Preston Scott. Of the pressconference or any of the highlights of it,
the Republicans announcing their preliminary findings onthe Biden deal. Do you see
any of that whole? My gosh, Tony Bob Olynsky is just the surface

(21:48):
of this thing. House Oversight andAccountability Committee held a press conference yesterday.
James Coomer, Can Huckey, AndyBiggs, Arizona, Byron Donalds of Florida
all involved. They've established a networkof over twenty companies formed by the Bidens

(22:15):
and their associates, most of themLLCs formed when Joe was vice president.
The Bidens received over one million dollarsfrom Romania in one deal, with sixteen
of the seventeen payments made while hewas in office. The money stops flowing

(22:37):
from Romania soon after Joe leaves office, Isn't that interesting? It's kind of
like the Clinton Foundation when Hillary wasSecretary of stayed and all the money and
the donations and then all of asudden it dried up when she was no
longer in a position to grant favors. But with Joe, oh my goodness.

(23:06):
I mean, you're talking about aremarkable web of organizations, companies,
businesses. In fact, they're tryingto figure out why so many members of
the Biden family got significant deposits fromforeign sources while Joe is vice president.

(23:30):
What are they doing getting money?What's what? And And one of the
things that stood out to me inthe press conference is they said, unlike
Adam Schiff and his alleged smoking gun, we're going to show you all the
evidence. We're obtaining it now theFBI stonewalling. A whistleblowers come forward with

(23:53):
how it all came together and howit all worked, and the FBI will
not make that that statement available tothe committee. They've been subpoened and the
FBI stonewalling. Why because the FBIis the police force of the Biden administration,
and I mean, at this point, the Biden family. Another story

(24:18):
out there that looks like the CIAwas actively involved in helping Joe Biden win
the twenty twenty election. I've toldyou John Brennan's just he's not the anti
Christ. He just works for himin some former former fashion. It's just,

(24:38):
it's so it's remarkable. Biden yesterdayslips up and says, we've had
chaos at the border for a numberof years. Wait what wait, what
do you huh? First of all, it's not it's not a number of

(25:00):
years. It's two since you tookoffice in twenty twenty one. Prior to
that, we were kind of gettinga handle on things. We had slowed
the border illegal immigration problem to atrickle. Then we can start fixing the
legal immigration problems of this country,which are significant. But it's it's remarkable

(25:23):
what's going on here. It reallyis. So those are your big stories
in the press box, and I'mjust stopping there because of time. Forty
six minutes after the hour's Morning Show, Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. All right, now,we frequently talk about cry. I'm on

(26:00):
this show personal defense. There wasa shooting on Sinca Demyo last week and
Saint Louis police arrested after an investigation, two suspects. They have photos.

(26:22):
Listen to this. They have photosof these two people, a man and
a woman, holding guns. Surveillancephotos of the suspects with guns in their
hands, one drawing, one aiming. The Saint Louis Circuit Attorney's office is

(26:52):
not pressing charges. Of course.Kim Garden is on her way out.
She's resigning, but she still presidesover the office. And both of the
suspects are no longer in custody.They've been released due to lack of evidence.

(27:22):
This was a shooting in public,investigated two suspects on tape with guns
in hands, and there's a lackof evidence. I'm convinced that they do
this on purpose. Two so seedsof discord in society that leads to their

(27:48):
cultural revolution, so they just turnall the criminals loose, create as much
chaos as possible. This is happeningeverywhere. Yeah, and it's almost always
with Soros backed das George Soros said. No, by the way, don't
just sit back and think when Georgekicks the bucket, it's over. Because

(28:11):
children. His son's worse. Hisson is worse. We're already seeing that.
This is like Kim Jong il andKim jongoon. And one thought when
Kim jong il was dead, thetyrant sea was over. Now a little
fat boy who loves porn takes over, and it's gotten worse. Does Kim

(28:33):
Jong un have kids? Oh yeah, Remember he's got a daughter who he
forbid anybody in the country to nametheir child after with the same name.
Really yeah. And he's got asister. His sisters she's she's they're evil
incarnate. Anyway. Then there's thislittle note. I don't know if you've

(29:00):
ever heard the name Jason pog pO G j E. And maybe it's
poge felony trial attorney for the ChicagoProsecutor's office. You might remember that the
infamous lack of prosecution for a whileof Jesse Smollett was a result of I

(29:23):
think it's Kim Fox box two x'she put in his notice, and before
he left, he sent a noteto eighty five of his colleagues. The
simple fact is the state and countyhave set themselves on a course to disaster.

(29:44):
And the worst part is that theagency for whom I work has backed
literally every policy change that has hadthe predictable and predicted outcome of more crime
and more people getting hurt. Bondreform designed to make sure no one stays
in jail while their cases are pending, with no safety net to handle,
more criminals on the streets, shorterparole periods, lower sentences for repeat offenders,

(30:10):
the malicious and unnecessary prosecution of lawenforcement officers, overuse of diversion programs
intentionally not pursuing prosecutions for crimes lawfullyon the books. After being passed by
our legislature, signed by the governor, these so called reforms have had a
direct negative impact. He said.My family and I I will not raise

(30:33):
my son here. They're not justleaving Chicago, they are leaving the state
of Illinois. What a stinging indictmentthat's from a twenty year prosecutor. Think
about that. He's watched the ridiculousnesssince Rama Manual and he's had enough.

(30:59):
Prior to Rama man he had enough. That's a snapshot of what's going on
here. Come back. Steve Stewartjoins us talas who reports got a busy
second hour, don't leave us.It is The Morning Show with Preston Scott

(31:32):
Thursday hour or two The Morning Showwith Preston Scott, Grant Allen running the
show. May eleventh, show fortynine, twenty seven. Go figure here.
We are approaching five thousand shows sometimein the next few months. And
wait your turn. And we arejoined by Steve Stewart. He is the
executive editor of Talassie Reports. Howare you? I'm great? Are you?

(31:56):
I want to be yelled that I'llstay home right, that's my life.
Only I wouldn't be yelled at athome. My wife never yells.
And that's not because I'm always good. She just she's not that way.
That's just not her anyway. Noshortage of things. I'm almost amazed that
you can never come in laughing andsmiling with the things that you cover.
I have to put a game faceon, you know. I sit out

(32:19):
in the car as grant, we'lltell you and I sort of get all
right, let's get the game faceon. Okay, Hey, there's a
lot of good things going on,you know, but in the news it
can be Look, I travel alot. It's good to be living in
Tallassee. I will tell you thatright now, given even given some of
the problems that we have here,it's this is a good place to be.
A couple nights ago, Leon Countyschool Board had a meeting and a
little drama there. Yeah, there'stwo things I'd like to inform our listeners

(32:42):
about. On the school board meeting, which probably nobody, very few people
watch. Two major things. First, there is an outpouring of support for
Superintendent Rocky Hannah related to this investigationgoing on by the Florida Department of Education.
Number of people showed up and spokeand favor him. When you violate
state law, you're going to getattention. And we can talk about the

(33:06):
details of that. But he's veryemotional. I mean, he was crying.
It was again, it was youknow, and so there was that.
Another thing that was worth noting isthere was a mother that showed up
with eleven football players from Child's Highschool to offer support for the football coach
there, Kevin Pettis, who ison who's on administrative a leaf. She
was encouraging the school board to hurryup with the investigation because this is hurting

(33:30):
the football team, the coach notbeing there in terms of kids wanting to
be recruited and getting the spring seasongoing. So those are the two major
things that were addressed at the schoolboard meeting. All right, let's start
with Superintendent Hannah, right, Imean the governor has cause to look into
or not the governor Department of Educationto look into his actions. Right.

(33:52):
I think there's two things here.There are definitely things that I think warrant
some investigation. What's happening is inthe media and in the political world we
live in UM. The whole ideaof him being removed and his debate or
his criticism of guvernor and desandis issort of leading the charge in these stories.

(34:12):
It's the leading paragraph when actually there'ssome nuts and bolts things. For
example, what you mentioned there wasa there was a law passed that you
could not you know, you couldnot require masks in schools. That was
that was ignored by Superintendent Hannah Um, so that's an issue. You can
again You've said this often. Youcan do what you want to do,
but there are consequences, right,and so that is an issue. The

(34:34):
other thing that people aren't talking aboutis that there is another issue with with
security at the schools. Now,do these have merit? These are things
that you want the state investigating,be it our school district or another school
district. Now I understand the thingthat's carrying the day is this political fight
and that he may be removed.Um and so I think that this is

(34:54):
going to be resolved in the nextcouple of weeks and we can move on.
The very ability to label this aquote political fight speaks to the problem
because school superintendent school boards aren't supposedto be political, no, And that's
part of the issue. And thisis because I think you would argue that

(35:15):
Superintendent Hannah, who is a superintendentin one of the few blue districts in
the state of Florida, has figuredout that this, you know, the
fighting with governor of Santas is goodfor him politically. I mean, think
about it. It's it is reallybecause now he's not running as an independent
anymore, which should have no bearing. Though in the schools. Well,

(35:36):
I mean again, this is theproblem that we've got. And so I
think now with FDOE, you know, they have said, look, this
is like we do a lot ofthese investigations and you know, again you're
not supposed to have your I thinkthe thing that they're looking at is not
the arguments with Ron de Santis,is the political bias in some of his
messages to teachers, you know,and things like that. So again,

(36:00):
hopefully we'll get this result. What'sthe status of the circumstances surrounding the football
coach of ChIL From what I'm hearingis that the investigation outside counsel has been
very thorough and it's outside council forthe school board, for the school board
to investigate the allegations that have notbeen publicly revealed. But I am hearing

(36:21):
that it should be done within thenext I would say, six to eight
days, six to ten days,okay. In the meantime he is suspended
administrate well, administrative leave is theterm. Got it all right, Steve
Stewart with us, much more totalk about when we come back the trial
that was and is to come regardingAndrew Gillham. We'll talk about that next.

(36:45):
And this is the Preston Scotch Show. Subscribe, get the paper.
It's about the only way you're gonnalearn what's really going on in town,
as opposed to reading what a cheerleaderis writing about any given issue at any
given time. So Steve Stewart,executive editor of Talasher Reports Talash Reports dot

(37:07):
Com, is with us. AndrewGillham was and and you know the proclamations
not guilty, not guilt. Hewas found not guilty of one charge and
it was a hung jury on roughlysixteen others. Right. You know,
I think going into this, Igot a couple reports from people that were
into trial. I thought the lyingcharge, I had one report that it

(37:28):
was like a slam dunk. Yeah, And so for it to be to
be unanimous on not guilty was alittle bit of a surprise them. In
terms of the other wire fraud charges, UM that is basically bank records and
it can be can be difficult tofollow. Um again ten to two with
two people saying that he was guiltyand the ten saying no. UM.

(37:50):
Again, A little surprised about that, But I'll tell you, you know,
I sort of anticipated something like thisduring this trial, and I think
the bigger story, which I'm tryingto figure out how to report on this
is what happened afterwards. The juryhas been given a platform by the talised
Democrat to anonymously talk. And Ithink it's a little weird that the jury

(38:12):
got together and wrote a letter askingthe federal prosecutors not to retry Andrew Gillum
on the charges that were not adjudicated, And that right there tells you will
wait a minute, maybe you havemore of an interest in this case than
just adjudicating Guilder innocence in the trial. The second thing that raises concerned to
me is that they called the twojurors that voted for guilt on the wirefradcases

(38:38):
as biased holdouts, which I thought, again, you know taught calling jurors
names. And I looked at thisand I said, well, wait a
minute. They weren't biased holdouts whenthey voted with you on the line charge.
But if they don't vote with you, they're biased holdouts. So I
think this jury, to me,can't prove it, but those actions indicate

(39:01):
to me that the jury, Ithink, had some issues. And we
heard that from the very beginning thatthis was going to be a difficult jury,
and you know there are people wereremoved and so anyway, I don't
know where it goes from here.I can't imagine the DJ up in Washington
signing up for a retrial here.And that's I think from what I understand,

(39:24):
that's where it's got to go.And so we'll see, and I
think we'll see May seventeenth, they'resupposed to have some kind of conference call
and decide what they're doing. Whatkind of court reform is Andrew Gillham allegedly
going to seek to have happened?You know, when I heard that is
like, it's like, you can'twin because if you'd have found him guilty,

(39:45):
it would have been a biased justicesystem. You find him not guilty
on one charge, and it's abiased justice system. So I don't think
the justice system was going to everreally win in this case. So what's
next for Andrew Gillam. I expectto run for office in I say less
than two years. Really definitely,I mean I think that it's I take

(40:07):
a cut and pain, No,I mean, I'm serious. Yeah,
I think it's going to be interestingto see. I know there are some
people that are Look, they hadin this in this trial, a number
of nonprofits that had given him money, big money. UM. They were
in town to testify. They AndI don't understand why the Feds put him
on the stand because they were notupset with what happened to the money.

(40:29):
They did not they were not aggrieved. They did not say that they you
know, thought that the money wasspent inappropriately. So the argument is where's
the victim? Exactly? That's theThat is exactly the argument. Now.
The thing is is so now therehabilitation begins, right, And I think
as we've seen across the country withthese situations, the right district, I

(40:51):
mean, there's there's no doubt.I mean, he's gonna have to get
the um, you know, theapproval of the Democratic Party so that nobody
runs against him in a primary.But even then, I mean, Gillam
has got huge dame, I dum, he's a progressive hero UM.
And yeah, I think it's Ithink it's nine statewide office. No,

(41:12):
I think, yeah, I've heard, I've heard running for Congress, you
know, in a district that isJerry manderd for a minority U. So
yeah, I mean I don't Idon't think that's any stretch. He's young
boy, he's got some photos he'sgonna have to get past. Yeah.
I think people now, look,they just they vote, they vote straight.
That wasn't exactly what goes on behindclosed doors because those doors were wide

(41:36):
open, right. Yeah. ButI just think that it's uh that that
doesn't on the extreme ideological spectrum whichwins these elections now, especially in primaries,
and then you know, you don'treally have a Republican counterpart in some
of these districts that he can win. Sixteen past the Hour more with Steve
Stewart. Next, we talk aboutthings differently, we talk about things that

(42:12):
are truthful. Steve Stewart with ushere on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
He is the executive editor of talask, who reports the website Talasreports dot
Com. Blueprint. Yeah, soI know this sounds boring, but these
are important things. Okay, resetfor listeners because we have three hundred thousand
plus moving into the state all thetime, and quite a few here.

(42:37):
What is blueprint? Blueprint inner governmentalagency? Sounds real scary and sounds sort
of bureacratic, but it's very important. It's made up of the Leon County
Commission and the city commissions. That'stwelve length officials in one room, okay,
which is always good for a reporter. Right. They have the sales
tax money that they raise to buildinfrastructure, and it's you know, it's

(42:58):
it's it's an additional amount of moneythat is within the scope of what's allowed
in the state. We're allowed totack on what one and a half cents,
right, and so some of thatgoes to this fund, right.
And so Blueprint two thousand was fromtwo thousand and twenty twenty, and they
and it's pretty popular. They buildrhods things that people can see, infrastructure
that matters exactly. And so nowthey were at Blueprint twenty twenty and so

(43:21):
today they're having a meeting and tothe projects which they're gonna sort of um
launch, which is they've been inthe works are the Market District placemaking project,
which is Caddy Corner or next toPremier Fitness Center. There the two
holding ponds. One's been filled inand they're gonna make that a nice park
with some amenities and I think it'sabout sixteen million dollars park really Okay,

(43:46):
Yeah, and so that's about sixteenmillion dollars. They're gonna advertise the construction
services. They've already got it plannedout. There's artists renderings out there.
That's one thing. The second thingis they're going to talk about for the
first time, and we've a storyabout this is the scope of the Northeast
Park. I expect a little bitof fireworks on this trying to figure out
who's going to manage it, who'sgoing to build it. But that's eighteen

(44:07):
million dollars park, which is Ithink we talked about this last time I
was here, nice amenities, andso that is going to be on the
agenda. Also, they're also havinga budget workshop to talk about their their
whole budget and the problem, andwe talked about this briefly, is they've
got about four hundred and ninety million, four hundred and fifty million dollars of
projects that they last year estimated wouldbe the cost for and obviously with the

(44:31):
inflation and the increase and labor costsand materials that they're going to have some
decisions to make today in terms ofthose costs have gone up from four hundred
and fifty two about five hundred fortymillions, So ninety million dollars increase,
absolutely, yeah, and so nowthe sales tax money is also increased because

(44:52):
of inflation. So they'll get intothe nuts and bolts of that and figure
out what to do. But numberof those projects has increased in price,
and those are the Bannerman widening,the Wailani Boulevard, or the Northeast Parkway
some of those projects. So it'ssomething they're they're going to talk about.
And again, this is something that'suh, not a lot of attention paid

(45:12):
to it until you get a specificproject. But these are projects that you
know, that really change them thecharacter and sort of you know, help
out the community. You mentioned thediscussion on whether the city or the county
is going to be responsible for managingthe Northeast Park right. Part of that
surrounded the county's desire to create kindof a regional park that would attract people

(45:37):
for baseball term right, Right,is that now set in stone that it's
going to have four baseball fields butonly one or two soccer fields. You
know. One of the things onthis is I looked at the scope of
the park and there's look, it'sa it's about like the city park that
was created on Southwood. Southwood hasfour baseball fields. Evidently baseball is a
very you know, I have notbeen involved. That's a very big deal

(46:00):
here is and so that's why youknow they so they can you can do
softball, you can do Little League, you can do Babe Ruth type.
But I think you could argue thatsoccer is replacing all of the sports as
the pre eminent sport of interest.Now that's that's there was some comments on
our story about you know, we'vewe could have upgraded some of the soccer
parks. Also, I think there'sa soccer field at this park. There's

(46:22):
I think two or three sand volleyballcourts. Um so pa is there so
I mean there is uh now thiscan all be you know changed around the
margins. You could add another sandballcard. I don't know if you could
add another add another soccer field.But I think this is again the first
time the public is going to havean opportunity to talk about it. But
I mean again will be a niceI mean, we the northeast needs a

(46:45):
park like this, and there willbe debate between because it is it's within
the city limits, it's county owned, and I think the county wants to
do the park, so we'll seeif that's what happens. Is it enough
land? I just worry that thepark really, I mean, if you're
going to do this, my ideawould be you need to be able to
include as much as possible. AndI don't know that they have enough lamb

(47:07):
to have fifty five acres is whatthe size of the park is. And
I think these are all going tobe questions that'll that will come up from
not only I mean the school boardis involved with this too because it's it
is right next to two schools,and so I think there's going to be
a third debate on it, andwe'll report on it. Will the schools
be using the fields? I wouldimagine, for example of the sand volleyball

(47:28):
High schools are always looking for courtsto have the matches, you know,
high school matches. They use thepark down in Southwood, Florida High does.
Yeah, so I think they willall right. Thanks, Thank you,

(47:53):
News Radio one hundred point seven wFLA. Hey, welcome if you're just
joining us halfway through the radio program, halfway through the second hour of the
morning show with Preston Scott, that'sGrant Allen. There. Were you surprised

(48:19):
that Donald Trump agreed to go onCNN or were you more surprised that CNN
agreed to host of Donald Trump townHall the first I was more surprised that
he agreed to go on. Listen. We know that your news media is

(48:43):
fake news. You're a nasty person, you're trash, your entire corporation,
You're full of horrible people. I'msurprised you. I mean, did you
hear him call the moderator you're anasty person or something like that. Yeah,
yeah, I was. I've seenso many of the clips from the
town hall, and it is apure comedy gold. You can say what

(49:06):
you want about Donald Trump, butthe dude has borderline comedian level timing.
But does he does he know he'sbeing funny? No? And that's what's
so funny about it. Maybe maybehe does. I don't know, but
I laughed so many times in somany clips. But just compare the and

(49:29):
again, like you say what youwant about the Donald compare his mental acuity
to Joe Biden. It's not evenclose. He came, he was,
I mean on one of the questionsthat the moderator I all of a sudden
forget her name, Caitlin something orother, asked him Trump about January sixth

(49:53):
and he just like, well,I guess I'll have to pull out through
receipts. And he just pulls thesheet of paper. He was like,
this is my tweet at two thirtywhen everything was going down. I said,
go peacefully, peacefully everyone, andhe and he just like listed it
and yeah, we've talked about theentire speech and what was said and what

(50:14):
wasn't. Yes, it's Caitlyn Collins, by the way, Collins, that's
right. And he just brought receipts. He I think he won more than
CNN lost. Yeah, more thanCNN lost. Yeah. People are blistering
CNN for daring. And that tellsyou how politically biased CNN has become over

(50:36):
the decades. Yep, it's ait's not all that different to what we
were talking about with Steve Stewart andthe jury pool. It shows how political
the jury pool was. It showshow political school boards have become it makes
you wonder, just real quick aboutthe Gillham thing. Yeah, and this

(50:57):
whatever this retrial looks like, willthey're well there is one, if there
is one, will it actually bepossible to get an unbiased jury in this
town? Well, I had askedSteve, and I would and I would
submit that you are not going tofind an unbiased jury in this county.
Yeah, because you're gonna have Imean, as much as you can say
that there were two people planted therethat well there were there. There will

(51:21):
always be plants saying not guilty.I just will So I don't know,
and I you know what, it'sup to them to figure out whether they're
going to pursue this or not.Just understand, it ends up in front
of the Department of Justice, andwe know what's going on there. But
when you when you look at justeverything that's going on, you've got Biden

(51:42):
admitting that the border has been ahot spot for years, and it really
hasn't. It's been a hot spotfor the eight years prior to Donald Trump,
and it's been a high spot forthe two years of Joe Biden.

(52:02):
Trump was dealing with it. Buttoday, now we've got the end of
the COVID health emergency. How manyof you gonna keep wearing your silly masks?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have putit that way. How many of
you are going to keep wandering aroundbrainwashed into believing those masks make a bit

(52:30):
of difference? Anyway? And oh, by the way, title forty two
ends tonight at midnight. Wow,it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Time for a little optimum health naturally, So we do a couple of times

(52:52):
a month with doctor David Hearts.Good morning, sir, how are you?
Good morning? I'm good rest andhow are you? I feel bloatedd
I feel bloated? Now, Idon't feel bloated. But you want to
talk about bloating first, How doyou know whether it's quote bloating versus something

(53:12):
that might be a little bit moresignificant. Well, that's a good that's
a good question. In facts acouple there's a lot of different causes for
blooding. A lot of people thinkthey're just heavy and they have you know,
distended adoms and they kind of tryto lose weight, and of course
many times that's the problem, butum, sometimes it can be accumulation of
food. You can have a slowtranscend time from what you're eating and what

(53:35):
you're getting rid of, and thatcan build up and that can cause a
distension of the bout sometimes and thisis kind of you know, difficult talking
about, but sometimes you can youcan tell that by looking at you're doing,
finding what's going in and the transienttime, how long it's taking to
come back out. You should getrid of everything actually within about twenty four
hours, but no longer than fortyeight hours, and a lot of people

(53:58):
hold food in their body a lotlonger than that, which is definitely a
problem. UM So that's one problem, is just transient times. And there's
many things you can do to speedthat up, as far as you know,
bulk and and eating good fruits andvegetables and so forth. But look
what causes that, What causes thefood to stick around, for lack of
a better way of putting it,Well, there's a lot of different reasons

(54:21):
for it. I mean, youcan you can get a paralysis of the
bowel or you know, spasm ofthe bowel, which is arible bowel syndrome,
and that can be caused by foodallergies that can be caused by um,
this biosis of the balant of thewords having um imbalance of bacteria or
having too much fungus or you know, different bacteria that should be a normal

(54:44):
symbiosis with your body and getting abnormalbacteria, And you can find that out
by doing a conference of stool analysis, but you need to get an alternative
practitioner to help you with that one. But there can also be hydrochloric acid
deficiencies, which you can just youcan go to healthy store and get little
bit of that and see if thathelps. Also, lactose intolerance is a
problem, especially with bloating and gasum. There's you can get lactase,

(55:07):
you can get lactose free milk andso forth nowadays, and you can try
that for a while, give thatabout, you know, two or three
weeks and see if that helps.And you can find that out pretty easily.
Also, there's something called endocrine pancreaticinsufficiency EPI, which they're they're having
pharmacycles for it right now trying tosell that. But you can actually just

(55:27):
get a good pancreatic enzyme and tryto see because if you don't break down
fatum from from your there's there's certainenzymes that you're your pancrus secretes as well
as your gall ladder um, andif you're not breaking down fat or certain
particular proteins, you will bloat likecrazy. So that's something you can get
just a little pancreatic enzyme and actuallysee if that helps. So there's a

(55:52):
lot there's couple several different reasons forthis, but there are some easy things
you can do to find out.And if you can't you try those simple
things and they don't work, thenget somebody certified functional medicine practitioner or integrated
practitioner and have them do a littlemore depth analysis of your stool, your
biomin and see what's going on.There's never a simple answer, is there.

(56:16):
I wish, I wish it was. But when you're trying to figure
out what's truly wrong with the body, yeah, prest and it gets a
little bit when you're trying to justget you know, you can take gas
X, Okay, well, butthat's but that's you know, the whole
this whole segment started years ago becauseso many people were treating symptoms and not
finding causes. That's correct, That'sexactly right. So it does take a

(56:38):
little more effort but when you getto the cause, then you're really got
the problem fixed and and then reallygood health results. So that's what we're
looking for. Doctor Arts is alwaysthank you. We'll talk again in a
couple of weeks. Okay, Preston, have a great day. Thank you,
sir. Doctor David Arts with usthis morning. We come back taking
a little road trip idea as wellas um prepare you for our visit with

(57:00):
doctor Kim Moore this morning. Takea few minutes talk about career paths that
might be open to you. Thatmore still to come. A lot of
things to talk about yet. Theaudio magazine known as The Morning Show with
Preston Scott continues. It's the MorningShow with Preston's Scott News coming up top

(57:28):
of the hour, National, local, whatever's going on in your neck of
the woods, as well as what'shappening across the country. We will cover
that at the top of the bottomof the hour, as we always do.
Big stories in the press box comingback around at the bottom of the
hour. Came across this story andI'm sure we'll maybe touch on it a

(57:50):
little bit with doctor Kim Moore injust a few minutes. Our look at
careers. What's happening in the jobmarket in the region, not just locally,
but around the region, around thestate, even looking at some national
trends. More industries, if you'reout looking for work, more industries are
using something called SEO that is searchengine optimization. And what that means is

(58:15):
you've heard doctor Moore say for years, taylor your resume to the job you're
applying for, and that means tweakinglittle things from your life experience, your
work experience that highlight skill sets thatwould be useful. Well, where this

(58:40):
really shows up with search engine optimizationis identifying keywords that are inside the industry
that you're trying to get a job. Now, you've got to be truthful.
This is not about, you know, trying to fudge. This is
about making sure that you're taking yourexperience, learned, educated, experiences and

(59:07):
using words that these search engines aregoing to grab and pull your resume to
the top of the list or nearthe top so that recruiters can find you.
So this is just a tip forsmart job hunting. Make sure that
your resume is tailored and make sureyou are using keywords that will allow your

(59:30):
resume to be grabbed by all thesesearch engines that are out there talk more
about employment matters in mere moments.But first, each and every Thursday,
we give you an idea. Ifyou're out traveling the country, maybe you're
taking a roadie, maybe you're outvisiting Grandma, mom or dad, just

(59:52):
off going somewhere and in this caseyou happen to be in New Hampshire.
Mount Washington. Do you know aboutMount Washington? Just the name. Mount
Washington is at six thousand, twohundred and eighty eight feet in height,

(01:00:14):
certainly not the biggest mountain in theworld, but that's a decent climb.
That's you're you're going up over amile in the air. That said,
three major storm tracks regularly meet atMount Washington. I bet that's a wild
place. Well, here's where itgets real interesting. Mount Washington. First,

(01:00:38):
for hikers, it's a mecca.It is. It is a place,
and hikers probably know about it.But if you're interested in doing or
seeing, they have a visitors centerat the base. The Appalachian Mountain Club
maintains the Pinkham Notch visitors center atthe base. And then if you make

(01:01:00):
the top, if you make thesummit, Sherman Adams Visitors Center, which
features more than one hundred names ofpeople who have died on the mountain.
Oh here's the thing. If youknow what you're doing, the experts and
the rangers at the park and atthe mountain will tell you you can safely

(01:01:23):
go up and down the mountain.But you need to know that you can
go up and the day be warmand summer and spectacular, and in moments
it can change to a death trap. The highest recorded winds ever in the

(01:01:44):
continental United States in a non tornadoevent were recorded there at two hundred and
thirty one miles an hour. Theyhave had an observatory there at the summit
since eighteen seventy. How did theybuild anything sturdy enough? Well, in
eighteen seventy years before everything was chained. It was chained to the mountain.

(01:02:07):
But they built like a granite typefortress up there. If you're a lightweight
person, you'd go flying. Man, don't be wearing anything that can be
catching the wind, or you're gone. But if you're into that kind of
thing, Mount Washington, New Hampshire, there you go. There's a road
trip for you. Come back,doctor, doctor, talk to doctor Kim

(01:02:29):
Moore. I can say that I'ma professional broadcaster and the third and final
hour of the Morning Show with PrestonScott. Stay with me five minutes after
the hour. It is Thursday,hour three, The Morning Show with Preston

(01:02:52):
Scott. Each month we take sometime on the radio program to talk about
careers, to talk about employment.You hear me talking in the last segment
just a little bit about keywords andresumes and how search engines are being optimized
to find those keywords by recruiting sites, to put your resume near the top,
and to talk about all employment mattersrelated to our region. Doctor Kim

(01:03:15):
Moore joins us. She's vice presidentof Innovation with the Tallaska Community College Workforce
Development Program. How are you?I am well, good morning? Am
I right? Keywords? Keywords?But I will tell you that there is
a trend that we're seeing. Ihad the opportunity I share with you yesterday
to speak to a lot of HRprofessionals and even despite the keywords, a

(01:03:36):
lot of people still aren't even doingthat with their resumes. And unfortunately employers
are desperate enough and they're trying tosift through and make it work. But
yeah, keywords are the right waythat is the right thing to do to
demonstrate that yes you've read the jobposting and to make sure that your skills
align with what they're asking for.But again we're not even seeing that effort
in a large part. Now,Am I right in my contention that a

(01:04:00):
good worker, Yes, that isdisplaying the traits of a good worker,
excited to be there and all that. They are gold in this world today?
They are gold, and they knowtheir gold. And I submit to
you, I'm pressing that with theemployers. You're gonna pay more for that,
but I promise you it will bebetter than hiring the wrong person a

(01:04:24):
couple of times to try and dothat force fit into what you believe ought
to be there. I've heard employerssay that they hired this person and it's
set them back. Is that whatyou're talking about, not just the hiring
issue and the onboarding and the timeand the trouble and the money, but
what it does in damaging your reputation. Damaging your reputation, you're putting them

(01:04:46):
out there out front representing your company, and then who knows the damage that
they will also do with your otherworkforce. So the idea of hiring wrong
I mean, that's not just thenotion, it is real, and employers,
I tell you you should not doit. Do not fall into that
trap. Better to not higher thanhire the wrong path. Absolutely every day,
every day. Yes, what arethe top ten occupations right now?

(01:05:10):
Top ten occupations? We have registerednurses coming in at number one. Luckily
we had graduations last week, butI bet you they're all employed as they
walk across the stage. Number twosoftware developers, managers, sell representatives,
retail sales, customer service representatives,first line supervisors, general and operations managers,

(01:05:30):
secretaries, and then management analysts.So what does that look like to
healthcare one it three retail and hospitality, and four business and professional. When
you think about the dollars and sets, because we know our listeners want to
know that to thirty thousand to eightyone thousand, and what those jobs are
paying. How many of those requirea degree? To two of them?

(01:05:53):
So eight of the top ten listingsdo not require a degree. But some
level of certification, absolutely, yes, level of certification varying levels, some
very minor. When you think aboutthe retail salespiece, could be a short
term certificate, could be online,could be face to face. But yes,
or it could be your work experiencecould add absolutely absolutely. You don't

(01:06:14):
need to do anything and just gointo it. And the great thing about
that is that you know one clickaway. We also tell you who's hiring.
So the website hot occupations now dotcom is where you go if you
want to see these lists that we'retalking about. So who's hiring? So
who's hiring? The State of Florida, who's hiring? At the top of
the list again, Florida State University, HCA, Tallahasse Memorial Healthcare, KPMG,

(01:06:40):
Writer Systems Incorporated, Tallahassee Community College, Pearson sent Teen Corporation. Now
that's new, You're like, whoare they? They are the largest processor
of medicaid in the state of Florida. Okay, and they go under the
name of Sunshine Health right, andthen the Florida Department of Corrections coming in
at number ten. If you wereto pie chart it, how many of

(01:07:02):
these job openings are because of growth, how many are due to attrition?
If I had to pie chart this, I would probably be at about sixty
percent of what we're seeing is growthand forty percent would be attrition and or
just yeah, turnover, turnover,Yeah, okay, doctor Kim Moore will
be with us for one more segment. We've got things to talk about,

(01:07:24):
including Yeah, moms and dads,you've got you've got youngsters that are going
to be looking for some scholarship money. Well, by golly, you're listening
at the right time. It's theMorning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning
Show at Preston Scott on News Radioone hundred point seven w FLA eleven minutes

(01:07:49):
after the hour. Yeah. Myjob to keep you informed includes keeping you
informed of what's going on, whattrends are out there, what's happening in
the job market, and we relyon the expertise of doctor Kim Moore,
vice president of Innovation with Taalaska CommunityCollege Workforce Development Program, and doctor Moore.
This time of year, we arein the transition period. You talked

(01:08:10):
about people walking across the stage,but for a lot of people now you've
got moms and dads that are largelythe ones responsible to point Missy and Junior
in a direction, right, they'rethe ones and they're they're excited that they're
walking across the stage, and theywant to make sure that they don't walk
across and get into their colts right, sit on that colts. What's happening

(01:08:31):
next? So you know, wegot we're here to help. We really
are here to help. Have thereever been as many options as there are
right now? And before you answerthat and can that be maybe a little
overwhelming, it is and can beabsolutely overwhelming, because yes, you could
go directly into the workforce because there'ssuch a crunch there. Or for those

(01:08:55):
that say, hey, I wantwe're seeing that quite a bit too.
I want to take that gap year. I need a year year to find
myself. We're seeing yeah, whateverthat is because in the mirror you're right
there. Okay, parents, youhear this. When you hear from your
kid, I need to take thatgap year, you'll know, just give
them a mirror, like Preston said. But but yeah, you're seeing that.

(01:09:15):
Or you know, they're like,hey, I don't know what it
is that I want to study orwhat you know, what's the best field
for me? And that's and youknow what, that makes sense for a
lot of people because education is costly. Yeah, and to spend a year
when you don't know what you wantto do with it, because the standard
four year grind may not be foreverybody. So what kinds of options are

(01:09:36):
available? There are scholarships, scholarshipsand again this is certainly we were talking
about local, but then the samething would apply statewide because education Department of
Education has done really a really goodjob with making sure that there are lots
of different scholarships that we in thecommunity colleges and technical colleges can put out
there. But for local people,think about it. If you're a Cula

(01:09:57):
County resident, we have the anonymousdon't or that gave a quarter million dollars.
The only thing that you have tobe is a Wakulla County resident.
So parents, as you're listening tothat, call us, well, let's
to know about those programs. GetJohnny in there, get Sarah in there.
That's free. Additionally, Sunshine ofHealth, who we talked about with
Send Team Corporation, they committed tous a five years of covering healthcare scholarships,

(01:10:23):
healthcare programs. You really can youtalk about a career in less than
a year, but you could alsohave a career that's free and put you
on a pathway for greater And I'llgo ahead and say something here because a
lot of you might know of somebodyor you yourself might be working your way
through. There's even a little scholarshipout there called the Working for Limitless Achievements

(01:10:45):
Scholarship, otherwise known as WFLA.Yeah, we started a scholarship years ago.
It's still there. It's modest,but it can help you get a
few courses and maybe help you crossthe finish line. There's a myriad of
scholarship availability, absolutely, or youcan do the combination that I'm seeing quite
a bit now is that you geta job at one of these educational institutions

(01:11:06):
and you get college courses at nocost. If you were talking to the
graduating class of twenty twenty three acrossthe country, across the country, because
we're on iHeart and we have listenersin a bunch of states, what would
you say is job one? What'sthe most important thing for a graduate of

(01:11:27):
high school to be thinking about?I think the most important thing that they
should be thinking about is not justtoday, but their future and where their
interests lie. Because this group,this group of young people going out into
the world, they are driven bywhat they're most passionate and motivated by.
If that's the case, figure outwhat that is. Center and figure out
how that aligns with the job ofthe career because you got to work and

(01:11:48):
then go after it. You say, well, how do I do that?
Well, there are advisors. Wehave advisors here, career advisors that
are on campus. There are simpleassessments that they can walk you through and
put you on that path. I'dinvest in myself now. I tell every
parent to make sure that their kiddid that and then follow that path.
How do you balance? You know, I'm a big fan of Micro's advice.

(01:12:13):
Go get a job and bring yourpassion to it, and then over
the course of learning how to work, you'll find your passion. Well,
that was another period of time.It's not with this group. It is
really not with this group. You'llsee it over and over ever, sharing
with the group yesterday nationally the reasonwhy people leave. The first one was

(01:12:33):
tied to compensation. The second onewas tied to was the employer able to
connect me with a journey with anexperience? What do they mean? They
want to know that you're investing inthem the person. Yeah, what is
it that they like? What isit that they believe in that the company
is aligning with that. So it'sa different game it's that realistic with the

(01:12:54):
number of jobs that may not berealistic, but it that's your labor force
that's going to be going out andthat is available. So to not know
would be an error. Now,how you find a way to bridge it
and meet it in the middle,that's where employers are going to be tasked
with. Sixteen minutes after the hour. Thanks for the time. Now you're

(01:13:15):
welcome. We'll talk next month always. Doctor Kim Moore with us this morning
on the Morning Show with Prust andScott. I'm gonna put push the pause
button on the rundown and I wantto get you to weigh in on this.
All right, I described to doctorMoore here when I was a small

(01:13:45):
child, we lived in a suburbof Pittsburgh and where my siblings grew up.
I was not born yet. Ihad two I have three brothers,
one surviving and a sister, andthen I have two brothers at have passed.
They were a year apart, Michaeland Bill. And where we lived

(01:14:09):
there were two streets that well itwas one street, but it was a
hill on either side. So youhave a hill, it bottoms out and
then it goes up a hill.Oh, so the old adage of I
used to walk up hill both waysto school actually was the case to a
certain extent. In this case,one brother would get on his tricycle at

(01:14:30):
the top of one hill, theother brother would get on his tricycle on
the top of the other hill,and they would play chicken. They would
just scream down the hill riding theirtricycles and see who would back off at
the last minute. They would routinelyplay chicken. They were jousting with tricycles.

(01:14:50):
Yes, yes, with a bighill and gravity momentum. Nice.
All right, it's all you needto know about my two brothers for now.
We are in a societal game ofchicken. In the workforce, so
where does this go. You've gotyoung people saying I'm not working unless you

(01:15:16):
pay me this. But you've gota job that cannot pay you that because
the numbers don't work, the margins, the math, because whatever you pay
then you add Social Security on topof that that the employer has to kick
in a percentage of it doesn't work. Yeah, there are some industries like

(01:15:41):
fast food. We've documented they're automating. They're going to automatic pizza makers,
and they're going to automatic burger flippersand French fry droppers and all of that
stuff. And you go to akiosk and they just have one or two
people back there that are going tojust put everything together and put it in
a bag, and there you go. I'm gonna take your money. They're
not gonna say hello, They're notgonna They're just gonna say thank you very

(01:16:03):
much. If that right. Butthen there's all these other industries that require
a person. What happens, what'sgonna happen? I think doctor Moore's words
to me those that ship has sailedwhen it comes to just go get a

(01:16:24):
job and learn how to work,as opposed to oh no, you need
to find your passion. Yeah,I would say I as a zoomerm,
I do understand why the zoomers qualifiedzoomer because he's actually a he's more of
a boomer than I am older thanboomers. But anyway, yes, as

(01:16:45):
a zoomer, I do understand whymy generation has a twenty six year old
member of the greatest Generation. Ido. I do get it why they
would rather do something that they enjoyrather than getting a job. Because we've
seen for a couple of generations nowthe extent with which like, really forty

(01:17:08):
years at one job and they don'teven thank you. It's like my generation
is seeing our grandparents and our parentsexperience just thanklessness, and we're like to
heck with that. So I thinkmy generation is going to have to either
we're gonna be either chronic entrepreneurs.Okay, but there you're gonna have to

(01:17:31):
work your butt off correct. AndI don't think that people are gonna have
a problem working their butt off ifthey are like, all right, this
is the vision that I want frommy life, and I'm gonna I'm gonna
have to make it happen along withand I know you and doctor Moore have
talked about it. Gig economy,having like two or three side gigs is

(01:17:53):
probably going to be like a bunchof side hustles, yeah, exactly,
but selling stuff on Etsy things likethat. I think of all the jobs
that are not entrepreneurial, road workers, carpenters, tile setters, and even
though for example, a master carpenterwould be entrepreneurial. Sure you could do
your own handyman service and all ofthat kind of thing, but just the

(01:18:15):
number of people punching a time clockand those jobs going unfilled. Yeah,
because I don't want to work.I don't want to do that. I
don't want to work that hard.I don't want to do that because they
never learn how to work. Andthis is what we were talking about off
the air, is those jobs thatnormally you would go do. You'd work

(01:18:40):
at the department store, or you'dbe stocking things at the big box store
or the home improvement store. You'rea stockman, or you're flipping hamburgers,
or you're making pizzas, or you'rewhatever you're doing. You're just doing this
task for this wage, and you'relearning how to work. You're learning how
to direction, and you're learning howto find joy in the toil of work.

(01:19:04):
Like who's gonna dig, who's gonnado landscaping? Yeah? Yeah,
I do think there may be aimpass in our society that comes where there's
like a very lean years because wejust simply don't have people to work restaurant

(01:19:28):
jobs. We simply don't have it. So people are gonna be thinking differently
about where, Like what about landscaping? Well, I guess I'm doing it
myself. I guess I'm gonna haveto make my own food. I guess
I'm gonna because those services don't exist. They may not in twenty years.
I don't know. So who's gonnawin, Bill or Mike? You know?

(01:19:51):
I mean, who's gonna come out? Who's going to prevail? Because
we're coming to a showdown between theemployer and the employer, the industry and
the workforce. Twenty eight minutes afterthe hour back been more. What's going

(01:20:19):
to happen at midnight when Title fortytwo ends and the southern border is literally
rushed and the military that's been sentwill be not we'll be doing nothing to

(01:20:40):
stop it. We're entering into thisphase of if dystopian, if the faith,
if the Feds won't do anything.I understand there's like jurisdictional boundaries here,
but you would think that Texas wouldbe compelled, Arizona would be compelled

(01:21:08):
to just say, fine, ifthe Feds won't do anything, we will
Well, according to Greg Abbott,the governor of Texas, they will repel
them along the Texas border. You'vegot Texas Congressman Henry Quare joining several other

(01:21:30):
Democrats stating that there are one hundredand fifty thousand migrants planning to cross the
border. Quaire's words send them back. Biden, for his part, claims

(01:21:51):
that we're working closely with the Mexicangovernment and setting up outposts to help clear
those seeking asylum. And this isthis is as much a part of failed

(01:22:15):
fiscal policy as it is anything else, because this is causing us untold damage
to our economy and our community herein Tallahassee could be facing increased crime because
we're on the interstate I ten goesright to San Antonio. Well, we've

(01:22:39):
had buses, We've we've talked aboutit, reports of buses being dropped here
in Tallahassee with single mail illegal immigrants. Yeah, not starving wives and children,
no fighting aged males. I'm justwe're gearing up and and it's set

(01:23:03):
up for a Friday dump. Yeah, it's set up for the for that
news cycle of the Friday dump,where they dump a big story on a
Friday so it dies over the weekend. Except this one's just a continuation of
the horror that has been the twoyears of Joe Biden. It's a lot

(01:23:24):
harder to do a Friday news dumpwhen you got social media now because people
are tweeting and posting. Well,now you've got Democrats warning Biden right now.
What's interesting as well is that thisis this is an issue that actually

(01:23:45):
makes Donald Trump more and more electable, because you've got people out there saying,
yeah, but yeah, he's Trump. But we had our border pretty
well under control, and we werebuilding a wall and we were getting things
in order. Yeah. But wehad very low inflation, and we had

(01:24:09):
record low unemployment and record high wagesfor groups that historically have not enjoyed those
things. Yeah, but taxes areWe're going down, and money was coming
back into the United States. Repatriatedmoney was coming Industries were manufacturing jobs at
Barack Obama said we're never coming back. We're coming back. We had energy.

(01:24:32):
Yeah, but we had energy independence. I mean, you start arming
now Trump with what he needs torun a successful campaign. Preston Scott Boy,
that escalated quickly. I mean thatreally got out of hand fast.
On WFLA, somewhere on the programthe Friday tradition of what's the Beeves,

(01:25:00):
We'll find some good news somewhere toshare. It might be that I picked
out a new shingle for my roof. I don't know, but we'll find
something. Also, talk about tortreform and whether the Florida legislature went far
enough. Are we making progress?And what is the right the right formula

(01:25:25):
for tort? You have to havean ability to right or wrong. Yeah,
you don't want them. Consumers donot have any potential recourse for you
know, seeking damages that were legitimate. But you know, there was a

(01:25:45):
story out of like I want tosay, Live Oak a number of years
ago, if someone sued McDonald's because, like, they asked for cheese on
the cheeseburger but they didn't get it. I'm like that. Okay, Well,
we talked about the story about buffalowild wings. Yeah, like,
my gosh, boneless wings aren't wings. We're suing Give me a break.

(01:26:13):
Everyone knows their nuggets. But comeon, how about the fact that insurance
companies though settle. Yeah, seethat infuriates me. Win some cases,
set some precedents and be done withit. Anyway. We'll talk about that
tomorrow. I came across this articleabout some writings of Now, is it

(01:26:41):
nicola, tesla or nicola? I'veheard both. We'll go with nicola because
it just it works better with tesla. Yeah, I think that's the American
pronunciation. He is Austrian, andhis writings are pretty incredible. Listen to

(01:27:02):
some of these comments. I purposeto show that, however impossible it may
now seem, an automaton may becontrived which will have its own mind,
And by this I mean it willbe able, independent of any operator,

(01:27:23):
left entirely to itself, to performin response to external influences affecting its sensitive
organs, a great variety of actsand operations, as if it had intelligence.
He wrote that. In June nineteenhundred he wrote a lot more about
artificial intelligence as we now know it. That is creepy in how accurate it

(01:27:45):
was. But he went further.In an interview in nineteen twenty eight with
Collier's magazine, he talked about vestpocket technology. Listen to this. When
wireless is perfectly applied, the wholeearth will be converted into a huge brain,
which in fact it is all thingsbeing particles of a real and rhythmic

(01:28:11):
world whole, sorry, rhythmic hole. We shall be able to communicate with
one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television
and telephony, we shall see andhear one another as perfectly as though we
were face to face. Despite interveningdistances of thousands of miles, and the

(01:28:31):
instruments through which we will be ableto do this will be amazingly simple compared
with our present telephone. A manwill be able to carry one in his
vest. Pocket Boy, nineteen twentysix, Collier Magazine. The guy was
a visionary. Holy cow, didhe nail it. He wrote the book

(01:28:57):
a hundred years plus before all ofthis stuff unfolding. He had it.
He can be called anything he wants, and he can pull his pants down
on that. I've actually gotten severalemail on our segment on Mount Washington,

(01:29:29):
including those who have climbed it andsummited it multiple times, one reminding me
that, in fact, I've gottwo reminders that for those that do not
want to make the climb, thereis a railway, even a road,
that can get you to the top. Oh no kidding, that's cool.

(01:29:51):
Taking a train that would be prettysporty. I feel I could be kind
of risky. Well, I guessif they've been doing it for a long
time, then well, as longas Pete Buttigige hasn't been anywhere near it,
we should be okay. They maintainthat privately, Yes, perhaps I
did my commentary on this story asI just couldn't resist. I just could

(01:30:14):
not resist, and it was avery astute commentary on might Dad. Thank
you very much, sir. TheCanadian Heraldic Authority decided, for reasons I
cannot imagine, to redesign its crown. Now, unbeknownst to me, Canada
still considers itself under the reign ofnow His Majesty King Charles the Third,

(01:30:42):
is it. Yeah. Yeah,they're technically independent but still part of the
British Commonwealth and Dominion nations. Sothey have historically used what's referred to as
Saint Edward's crown own as its royalmoniker symbol, which is patterned after the

(01:31:08):
actual centuries old British crown, whichI'll be honest, that's pretty cool.
It's sick. I mean, itis pretty based. Oh god. But
they've redesigned it. Yeah, andinstead of they've removed the cross on the
crown and the flor delis, whichis representative of the Virgin Mary. I

(01:31:31):
don't know if you knew that.I didn't. I always associated with French
culture. You'll see it a lotin New Orleans and Louisiana, things like
that. The flor Delis is actuallya design that is meant to be symbolic
of the Virgin Mary. It isa symbol of virginity, thus honoring the
Virgin Mary. But they have replacedit with a stylized snowflake. The cross

(01:31:58):
and the floor Delis. You can'tmake that up, especially when you add
in this little factoid that Canadians considerthis the Trudeau crown honoring Justin Trudeau,
which when you consider it being astylized snowflake, makes perfect sense. Brought
to you by Baronet Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA.

(01:32:25):
Look back at the radio program onehundred eighty seconds or last. The
president is presiding over a debacle,and that's why we call him the Resident
of the United States. He wasinstalled as the resident and that is what
he is. And the border isgoing to be an epic flash point.
I am going to be anxiously watchingwhat Texas does and what Arizona and California

(01:32:51):
don't do. What will New Mexicodo. We talked today about the findings
of the House Committee dealing with thefamily corruption of Joe Biden. Over twenty
companies formed by the Bidens and theirassociates during his time as vice president,

(01:33:15):
documenting payments, money transfers, andas opposed to Adam Schiff. They actually
have evidence FBI stonewalling them on requestsfor whistleblower documents, so we'll see where
that goes. Florida's legislature presented tothe governor and he signed four of the
largest reform bills of public education inour state's history. We'll talk more about

(01:33:39):
that on Monday tomorrow, we'll seeit up all over again. Thanks for
joining us, have yourself a greatday.
