Good morning everybody. It's a little jilly outside. Welcome like gip into the thirties in a few spots. Welcome to the morning show with Preston's got oppression, he's grand He's got the plaid hoodie back on. Not a good night to sleep, So it was a throw on clothes and just get out the door kind of day. Yeah, yeah, welcome to fatherhood. Yeah it's Tuesday, March twelfth, Show fifty one, thirteen Day eleven forty seven of
americalled Hostage our Verse today Luke eleven. We were covering this in church. Over the weekend, we'll pick up Versus thirty three through thirty six. Jesus said, no one, no one. After lighting a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore,
be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light. Now, let's set aside the often thought of analogy that Jesus paints of of a light set on a hill. Let's talk about the eye. What you take in. Now, I will remind you that what you hear is retained in your brain four to five times longer than what you take in through your eyes.
Nonetheless, when Jesus is talking about your eyes, the things you look at are you coveting? Are you lusting? Are you looking at things that encourage and build up? I mean, look, there are things that we see you just there it is. It draws your attention, you see it. That's being a human being. But what happens from there? I'll give you this one. Head to Walmart. You might see about anything. You could be caught staring. Try you develop the gift of being aware, situationally aware.
That's what we talk about with Charlie and j D and our personal defense segments. Situationally aware. But your eyes don't linger and allow your mind to wander. You watch things that don't tear you down. You know, there are sports fans out there that if their team loses, they're so miserable about it it ruins their day. If you're that amped up about an event, don't watch seriously. If it takes a toll on you that your team loses or has a bad day, you need to recalibrate. So that's how we
begin today. Take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac. The show has changed dramatically. Justin Haskins and I traded email the medical situation and his family of a month ago had a little bit of a setback over the weekend. He said, Look, I can rearrange things and make it, but if I could have another month and we could reconnect next month, it would be
helpful. I said, absolutely. You take care of your family member, don't You don't worry about us. So aside from our visit with Howard Eisaman, this morning, we are gonna we are going to plow through information. I don't think it's ever been more apparent than on a day like this.
How unique this program is. More on that in a second ten minutes past the hour, take a date in history, expand on it, look at it, and that's what we'll do next this date, March twelfth, On the Morning Show with Preston Scott March twelfth, seventeen to fifty five, first known use of a steam engine in the United States takes place at a New Jersey copper mine used to pump water from the mine. You have to go all the way up to nineteen twelve for the next day. Juliet Gordon Lowe
founds the Girl Scouts of the USA and Savannah, Georgia. I'm just moving right along. Nineteen twenty three. The first motion picture with sound recorded on film is demonstrated in Los Angeles that shows people dancing to music but has no dialogue. Will share some sound a little later in the show That's going to be fascinating. Nineteen thirty three. In the first of his radio fireside chats, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt urges depression weary Americans to have faith in US banks.
And in nineteen forty seven, Harry Truman establishes the Truman Doctrine. It was on this date that Harry Truman went before Congress to request four hundred million dollars to help Greece and Turkey resist communists led rebels then on overthrowing their governments. President laid out of policy that became known as the Truman Doctrine, a pledge that the United States would help nations struggling to resist anti democratic force is
he said in his statement. If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world, and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation. Boy, that doctrine has caused us some challenges over the decades, hasn't it. But there's an interesting point raised inside there. If these forces take over other countries, the forces behind it grow larger and stronger, and at what point does that imperil us? It's question too big for
me. I certainly have my thoughts on it, but we're kind of kind of get to that in a story that is making no headlines. Back up, it's making headlines, but no one's talking about it, and we'll get to that next hour. I just wanted to reflect on something I thought of on the way in here today. You know, I was I was praying. I pray as I drive to work. That's my routine, that's I
spend my time doing that. It's the radio is off. I just spend some time with with God and and when I finished up, I got to thinking about today's program in the final moments of getting here, and justin because I've been praying for Justin and and the circumstance that that he's kind of custody of right now and in trying to help a family member, And and I love Justin as a brother in Christ. I you know, that's the relationship
I have with a lot of our guests. And so if they say, hey, I've got this going on, I and and I say I'm gonna pray for you. I'm going to pray for you. And I got to thinking about the program. This is such a unique show. We just do what we do differently. I don't say that to pat us on the back. This is just I feel like what we've been charged to do and where God places us, whether it's through iHeartRadio or terrestrial radio or whatever, that's up to him. And in a way, it's kind of up to you.
And so I guess my thought here is, if you enjoy this program, share it. We don't advertise, you don't see billboards about us anywhere. You don't you know, we are we are the forgotten, you know, foster child of the iHeart Family. You know, they brought news talk into the iHeart Family years ago when it was Clear Channel because it was productive it was profitable, it was expanding and growing, and it's still that way.
Radio is a dominant form of communication over television, over anything, because it's not segmented. It's broadcasting in its truest, purest form. But we rely on you. So if you enjoy what we do, share it, tell people about it. I don't care what city they live in, wherever I think they'll I mean, we don't spend a lot of time just talking
about where I live or where you live. We talk about us, and we talk about the things that affect us, and try to do so in a thoughtful way, and often with a smile on our face, even if the news isn't necessarily good. So stick around seventeen minutes after the hour, I've got a destination trip for you. Next, don't forget get involved in the Patriot Mail project Patriot mail project dot com. Send an email to a
J six political prisoner, which we have on the blog page. I've got uh reprinted with permission in its entirety, understanding the vital distinction the USA as a constitutional republic not a democracy. I just thought it was great had this forwarded to me by research assistant of the program. After I've been trying to point out to you the decades long effort by Democrats to convince the masses that we are a democracy. We are not, and the distinctions are vitally important.
And the constitutional Republic citizens exercise their democratic rights through representative democracy, and that is bound by the constraints of the constitutions. It's very important you read that blog and read those comments. Now, I said, I was going to tell you about a place where you can go, and so my question is do you want to go? There is only one place on Earth where
you can touch two continents at once. It's crazy. This story. Lead research assistant send it to me, and it's kind of a Ripley's feel to it. Is it in Russia? No, Europe and Asia? Is it Moscow or Istanbul? Here's where you go first. You first go to Iceland. Oh, then you put on a wet suit and you scuba dive the Silfra fissure and it's thirty five degree water. Once you're about two hundred feet down, you can touch the Eurasian and North American continents at the same time.
H that's nuts. I'm looking at pictures of divers down there and want to do that. Isn't that where earthquakes happen well underneath the ocean where the tectonic Yes, sir, yes, sir. And you're just gonna go sit on that marker at the bottom. Boy, that's nuts. And and I mean there's there's the there's some divers starting to go down there. I mean, oh man, I'll be honest, Like I don't get the heb gbs from like being in an airplane. Sure, I don't have a height problem.
That doesn't bother me, but like swimming in the ocean and I can't see the bottom kind of gives me a little bit of the heavy GBS like that, that cavernous emptiness that like you go swimming in the ocean or whatever and you can't see below you no, Like yeah, that that kind of gives me a little nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Of course before you go, Iceland is open to tourists, but you've got to show full vaccination. So yes against COVID nineteen. That still is a
thing which is nuts. Look, I the reason why I didn't talk about this in our road trip segment on Thursdays because it's you clearly cannot take this. It's this is not a road trip. But now do things do do anomalies like that appeal to you? For example, Okay, we've we've established neither of us are going diving in Iceland here. Yeah, but what about four Corners? Yeah, I've done that once in my life. Yeah, did the whole hand hand, foot foot the twister version. And I was
in four states at once. I can say I did it. Yeah, it's right up. There was soloing for me in an airplane. I did it. Hey, look I did it. It's just this and what's crazy is now it very well could have changed. But then it was an absolute out of the way, ridiculous drive. But it's a national it's a national park. I think it's called Four Corners National Park or something like that. And and it is a destination. It's a cool little park. But there
was nothing, literally nothing around it, So you were committed. It's sort of like going to Tombstone, Arizona. You make the trip to Tombstone, you're committed because there's just nothing else on the way there. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, we'll come back and get to the big stories in the press box. Next to take a survey of the Conversations. I'm the Conversations podcast of Late and you realize that she yet another thing that makes this show
so unique. We are a local program that swings for the fences and oftentimes catches the ball squarely in the meat of the bat. We just get great guests and and I just credit God's favor with all of that. And so we thank you very much for all of you listening, because you know, when it's all said and done, you're the reason why we have so many great guests and we have so much I guess success across all the measurements that
that you can measure what we do. I had someone send me a text couple of days ago just talking about, you know, the challenges in advertising online and in social media outlets and in television because it's so fragmented, and that's why a MFM radio is still the place to go. And it just you know, when you when you add up the reasons, the auditory component that echoic memory just is four times stickier than iconic memory what comes through your
eyes, and then you factor in that we are broadcasters. We talk about a lot of things to a lot of people. Whether you agree or disagree, it's kind of irrelevant. It's about the stories, and it's about planting the stories out there and letting you just mull them over and do what you want with them. That's our advantage over all of the other outlets, and that's why clients come here, and that's why smart Businesses advertised on radio,
because we are just a smarter buy. Anyway, thank you, and spread the word about the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Conversation's podcast, Big Stories in the press Box, brought to you by Restore Carpet Care and Tyle. American's credit scores are dropping and it when surprised by that. See, when you buy the everyday expenses on credit, it's just a matter of time. You're fighting against the sinking ship. Banks profits are down. I don't
think we're going to touch on any of this with Howard Eisman. A little bit later we'll expand on it maybe a little bit in what's driving that The governor made a release here, but it's not I'm disappointed Florida wins lawsuit against Parntal Rights and Education Act to be dismissed. Law remains in effect. Yes, what the release doesn't say and I was curious as I read the release
of Florida Governor Rohan DeSantis and his press office. I was curious, Okay, you didn't say anything about the judge, you didn't say anything about who brought the lawsuit. And then I found out the lawsuit was dismissed because there was a settlement. Oh, so the law remains in effect. It's true, but the LGBTQ plus movement is out there spinning it like they got a huge win in the settlement. The government said. The government, as in
Governor Rohan Desanders is saying the law remains in effect. It's there's a little watering down, just a little bit. And then this. You remember we talked about Stanley tumbler's and how ridiculously absurd it is, how people like, did you see the Target Valentine's Day thing? I didn't know anything about it. I look back at it. Apparently Target released a limited edition Valentine's Day forty ounce tumbler from Stanley, and the world went nuts trying to get it.
Well, now, the two dollars and ninety nine cent mini canvas tote bags from Trader Joe's is a thing. It's a limited edition thing. And there are people already selling a set of bags that normally they're three dollars bags. They're setting as selling a set of them for five hundred bucks because of the demand is so high. By the way, I did see also another playoff that that we ought to be talking about traitor Joe. I didn't write
that. I I'm just never mind. In the break listening to member of the Florida Delegation to Congress Congress from m ACAC Camick regular guest on The Morning Show with President Scott teeing up doctor Jordan Peterson to a viscerat Representative Dan Goldman of New York. I ever gotten to Jordan Peterson's comments when Goldman said the First Amendment is not absolute, tried to defend the government monitoring people's speech and
what they say and what they post. I cannot wait to hear Jordan Peterson on this. This kind of relates, sort of kind of LIU, one of our senior longest serving research assistance sent this my way. It's from World Net Daily WND and written by J. M. Phelps. He writes, across most branches of the US military, recruitment numbers continue to plumbt as is widely known lack of trust in senior military leadership, as well as woke ideology
now plague America's armed forces. But the ultimate question remains, can the US still win wars? We've talked about this. I have weighed in that I think we are unbelievably vulnerable and compromised. You know what, you know, what keeps us safe? The Second Amendment, the fact that there are a bunch of I'm reminded of the line Mel Gibson had in The Patriot about his militia when he talked to the when he was having his meeting with Cornwallis,
and my men are very good marksmen. That's that's America. Most people that take on the responsibility to have a firearm and get a CCW or a hunting license, they're very good marksmen. The other thing that keeps us relatively safe is assured mutual destruction. And that's just that's that's a reality. So inside this survey, Phelps is as his name, talk to two hundred current members
of the US military. When asked if the US could win a war against a near peer like China, I would not consider Iran or North Korea a near peer, but for the purposes of the question or Russia. One hundred and eighty eight out of two hundred and twenty nine said No, these are people ranking still in our military. They're serving in an extended Q and A with one of them that he allowed to remain nameless. Recruiting numbers are down.
I'm just paraphrasing. Those that are in don't have the same level of ability or aptitude in maintaining our equipment. Units are not well enough equipped to go to war. Seventy four percent said that. Seventy two percent said their units are not sufficiently trained for actual combat. But boy, they can identify diversity, equity and inclusion problems in a nanosecond. See where I'm getting when I talk about the lack of preparedness. We are preparing people to point fingers,
not firearms, not laser guided weapons. We're teaching them how to identify someone who might be mean but not an enemy, and how to you know, disrupt their actions. Okay, this will be interesting because I wrote in the rundown Where'd they go? Honestly, some of these stories have completely been
pushed out of my brain and this is what I do. I sit every afternoon and early evening and then early each morning, five mornings a week six If I'm just antsy going through stories and picking through the things that I want to try to keep in front of you, the things that I think are
interesting to me ergo you. And there are even an occasional there's an occasional story that wouldn't necessarily be in my wheelhouse, but I'll throw out there because I think it's in yours, and I'll just kind of have some fun with it. But listen to this list. This is again from a research assistant of the program, and it's a post from a guy that online named Steve. Steve loves Ammo. Things not in the news anymore, Maui wildflower fires.
I can say that East Palestine, Ohio for second time. Joe Biden classified documents as a Senator Fauci working with China to create a bioweapon. Pete Bootage's best friend in prison for child porn cocaine in the White House. Data collected from the Chinese spy balloons. Ukraine intelligence documents released that showed they were suffering massive losses and the American taxpayer was being lied to Nancy Pelosi's film crew.
On January sixth, veterans being kicked out of shelters to make room for illegals, Pizzagate, Debunker jailed for possession of child porn gay porn film in Senate hearing room, Veterans affairs, prioritizing healthcare of illegals over veterans, Afghanistan draw down, and thirteen service members killed an attack at Cobble International Airport, which, by the way, a guest of US Congressman Brian Mast made himself known in the Residence State of the Union speech when he stood up in the
gallery and screamed at Biden. That was the dad of one of the guys killed. Three service members killed in Jordan, Hunter Biden making five hundred thousand dollars for quote paintings, j six political prisoners still in jail, thirty five thousand missing children at the Southern border, Epstein's clients, Obama coordinating with John Brennan and four other countries to spy on the twenty sixteen Trump campaign. Mail
in ballots were the cause of stolen election. Just some. I mean, that's kind of a dizzying number of stories that have been cycled through, if noticed at all. The mainstream media course does everything humanly possible to push down almost all of these, which is why they're gone. And if you remember the analogy that I've always used to describe Democrat actions in Congress, they throw spaghetti on the wall, and they get as much to stick as possible.
They just throw and throw and throw and throw and throw, and they just try to get as much through, as much done, as much compromise. And keep in mind, they ask for one hundred, they get ten. They're still moving in their direction. See if they asked for one hundred and it was a minus ten, it'd be moving in our direction. You know, we want one hundred billion dollars in cuts. We get twenty billion in cuts. That's a win. We're moving the right way. We want to
reduce the debt by a trillion dollars a year. Yes, we can do it. We absolutely can do that. We get three quarters of a trillion. That's a win. But you see we never get that. All right, one hour in the books, back with our two next those things are good some soy, excuse me soy, and with sobby Almonds Tea, Hey, good morning, welcome to the second hour of the radio program. I'm pressed at this grand great to spend time with you. Thanks for allowing us
to keep you company wherever you are, whatever you're doing. You know, the one thing I know is that we're not background music. You've got this program turned on you are. You are in it. You are in it, you are engaged, you're listening, you're participating, you're you're talking back. Remember you can always share your thoughts with me Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Contrary to some in our industry, I read your comments and I reply
to many, not all, but many, if not most. I've had to adjust that over the years because we just we get a few email and so I just thank you. And if you are listening on iHeartRadio, wherever you are listening to us from, tell us where you're listening. If you're outside the normal broadcast area, if you're outside South Georgia, the Big Bend, the Panhandle, and you're listening across the country, tell me where you're listening to us from, how you found us, and why you listen.
I'm always fascinated to hear and see those stories. And who knows, you may get a pin in the map. I have a world map, yes world, because we have listeners around the globe that have stumbled upon this show for reasons I can't explain, and so we thank you for that. I'm going to ask you a question on the front end, what do we do about this? Do we do anything about this? Is it our responsibility to do anything about this? Haiti is falling apart, has fallen apart. It
is It is now being basically run by a criminal. You could call it a failed state at this point. Yeah. I mean, I've got several stories here that I've printed out. March third, a jail break of more than forty seven hundred prisoners. Forty seven hundred, if I'm not mistaken. The entire police force for the nation is nine thousand. The proximity of Haiti to drug producing countries, drug consuming countries ie the United States, It's set
up to be a disaster. It has been since the sixties. The train wreck that is Haiti has gone on for for my entire lifetime. Me being the history buff I would take it all the way back to the seventeen hundreds when they had their revolution and revolt. It's been a constant cycle of blight and anarchy and like legitimately like witchcraft and mass executions and just destructive, destructive behavior. We've sent some military personnel to protect the US embassy personnel, the
EU embassy personnel. They're diplomats. They're gone, they've been evacuated. Haitians don't have the they don't have the choice. They got nowhere to go. The gangs are in power. Eighty percent of porter prints is controlled by one particular gang leaders told the prime minister to resign. Prime minister tried to fly back into the country. He couldn't. He's now in Puerto Rico. Dominican Republic wouldn't let him land, So he's now in Puerto Rico. This is
what the gang leader said, and I'm quoting. If Ariel Henry doesn't step down and the international community continues to support him, they will lead us directly to a civil war which will end in genocide. Well that's that's what he will do. He'll kill everybody that is and complicit in his wishes to run his gang and his cartels. I mean they are. And here's my question, what, if anything, should the United States do? What should the world do? Anything? Nothing? Just Hey, I don't have an answer
for you. I just know that you know we have been involved in programs. You have been involved in programs that have reached the Haitian people. It is the most evangelized nation in the world, and it's a train wreck. They've never gotten it right. Eleen minutes after the hour, run and laid here. Just kick this around and think about what we ought to do. This is the morning shows in scott just made a note to myself. I've reached out to Heritage Foundation. I'm going to try and get an expert on
Haiti to give us a view. It's close, I mean, it's close by. What's happening there will find its way into America. It already has, you know. But my heart breaks for those people because what sixty percent of the nation lives in poverty, abject poverty. I'm not talking poverty as the way the US defines it. I'm talking about poverty as in o MG. You know, here in America you've got prospects. I mean for a
lot of people that are living quote in the poverty margins in America. Some of that is by choice, because there are opportunities, whether that's a second job or improving your skill set to get a better career. There are opportunities all over and then there's just good old fashioned entrepreneurship, which is something I want to talk about at some point, but we'll talk more about Haiti got that set aside here. The migrant crisis. This story was interesting to me
how it's hitting small towns Whitewater, Wisconsin. The only reason why many of you know anything about Whitewater is because you know that somewhere. You've heard University of Wisconsin Whitewater in their D three football program, which is a beast. It's been. It's been an absolute behemoth. It's just outstanding. It's a town of fifteen thousand an hour west of Milwaukee. Migrants began heading into that
city toward the end of twenty twenty one. Just for a second in your head, imagine a map of the United States and a wave of people coming into the southern border and that wave sort of settling in sanctuary cities. You're like, wait, is Whitewater a sanctuary city? Yes? And no, not officially, but it's run by progressives and they've had, shall we say, without inviting, it's a town for immigrants to easily settle into if they're
here illegally because it's a tiny little town. But when you go deeper into the story of Whitewater. Greater Whitewater Committee President Jeffrey Knight said migrants caused New York's population to grow by two percent, while Whitewater's population has grown by almost ten percent. That would translate to more than one point five million new arrivals in New York. As a result, they're in a four hundred thousand dollars
budget hole in this little town of fifteen thousand. Where's that going to come from? A lot of the residents think that the illegals were attracted due to the pro immigrant rhetoric by the city Commission up there. The point is, every city is being impacted by illegal immigration, even a town of fifteen thousand. And they're already seeing cartel activity through the police department, the arrest that they've made, they've already tracked cartel activity. I don't know why I did
that. I don't think we can quantify all of the damage done during COVID, And I'm setting aside the obvious and most important, and that is the damage done to you and me our health. Distrust of the medicine that is provided to us by healthcare professionals. Now we're just distrustful you know, and very good reason. Can't quantify the damage the vaccine is done because it'll take who knows how long, if and if shedding is happening, which apparently it
is. And shedding is when people that are vaccinated bless others who chose not to be vaccinated with some of the byproducts of the vaccine by just being around them. All of humanity might be impacted by this over time, but let's set that aside for a little lighter heart lighthearted fare here on the impacts of COVID. Did you know the chewing gum industry got decimated by COVID? No, it is because people were wearing masks. Social distancing made bad breath less
of a worry and fewer people spent on any kind of impulse buys. But wearing the masks made your breath way worse. Yeah, but you didn't share it. You did. I'm just I'm just telling you what happened. You shared your own felt and nastiness. The number of packages of gums sold dropped
by thirty three percent nearly thirty three percent in twenty twenty. Demand is only picked up slightly since when you factor in inflation, gum is now a dollar more per pack than it was before COVID, So candy manufacturers want to know what we'll make Americans start chewing gum again. Now I've got a couple thoughts. First of all, do you chew gum? Have you ever chewed gum? I have not recently. Of the gum that you would chew, Why would you chew it? First? Because my breath smelled bad? So it
was due to bad breath pretty much. Yeah, Or you just felt a little funk in the mouth and you want to freshen up. Yeah, afternoon. You know, it's like I've had just had lunch. Okay, may have had onions or broccoli or whatever. Gotcha? Like I got a fresh in okay, all right. Of the type of gum, what kind of
gum would you chew? A brand or flavor? I mean a gum that was designed for, you know, helping your breath out a little bit, A gum that was like a bubble gum, A fruity kind of gum, A mint, mint all day long mint, Yeah, spearmint, peppermint, sure, you name it. It's got mint on the end of it. You're down for it? Sure? Okay? See, I think baseball season helps a little bit because baseball players are notorious for taking their chew and winding
gum around it. Uh huh. So they'll get a big water chewing gum, get it all, you know, chewed up and loose, and then they'll wrap their chew with it. It's all disgusting to me. But I think back to when I used to chew gum. I can't even tell you the last time I chewed gum. It's been it's been decades. When I chewed gum. I did it some in high school. It was always one of the bubble yum flavors. The grape was my favorite regular bubble gum flavor, Bubble gum na no no, no, no no. I would blow
bubbles. I did enjoy that. But I'm just I'm trying to think of what reason would people have and would it is it okay? I I mean for some people, I guess it can mess up your your bite. I don't know, yaw, yeah, I guess, I don't know. You know, for me, it's an off season thing I might think about, you know, when I'm on a break. Keep my mouth active. You should get you talk so much. You should get mastic gum specifically designed for
like jaw strengthening. Mastic Is that what it's called? Yeah, you mastic. I've never heard of it. It's all natural. It's not really like one of the big like gum companies, but it's like this all it's from basically like tree sap in Greece, and it's and it's this all natural thing. It's apparently really good for you. Here's the big challenge facing every gum manufacturer out there, flavor retaining flavor past a couple minutes. I don't know
how you do it. I don't know how you do it, because that's the big problem gum. You chew the flavor right out of it in in mere minutes and it's and it's gone. They're trying to figure that out. I don't know. I don't know what to tell them. But if you're in that, if you're in the world of trying to figure it out, there you go there. It's like the person fills out, figures out some way of killing invasive weeds and vines. You're gonna be a millionaire, all
right? What do you make of this? I'm in this mood right now where I'm still waiting for Newsmax to respond to their outrageous attack on Florida State Senator Corey Simon. Nothing crickets, Shame on them. Newsmax is dead to me until they respond. Don't send me a Newsmax link. I'm not going there dead to me. That said, when the Governor's Press office pushes out this is the headline, Florida wins lawsuit against parental Rights and Education to be
dismissed. Law remains in effect. Today, Officer of Governor Ron DeSantis announces major win against activists who sought to stop Florida's efforts to keep radical gender sexual lideology out of the classroom of public school children age kindergarten through third grade. First of all, let me just pause and say that's not enough that it has no place in school, public school at all. You're just joining us big stories in the press box time brought to you by Restore Carpet Care and
Tyle. And as you go through the press release, you see the high points and why we like the parental rights in education though it's not enough, it needs to expand. And in here there's a comment by General Counsel Ryan Newman. We are victorious Florida classrooms remain a safe place. Well some some K through three. But doing a little digging, here's the rest of the headline. The Santus administration agrees to settlement over parental rights and education law and
this is a story in the National Review. Agree to a settlements over parent rights which restricts instruction of gender ideology, sexual topics, and K twelve public classrooms. The settlement with plaintiffs attempting to block the law preserves the litigate the
legislation, but makes less ambiguous certain prohibitions and allowances. And so as you read into it, what you find here is that the federal judge last month rejected the lawsuit attempting to block the law, arguing the plaintiffs had not alleged sufficient facts to establish standing that old idea of standing. In fact, it says, plaintiffs have shown a strident disagreement with the new law, and they have alleged facts to show its very existence causes them deep hurt and disappointment.
But to invoke a federal court's jurisdiction, they must allege more. Their failure to do so requires dismissal. But there is a settlement. Despite the ruling, there was a settlement As part of the settlement, the Florida Board of Education agreed to send guidance to Florida school districts clarifying the law does not forbid all discussion around lgbt topics and individuals in the classroom, only keeping it out
of formal instruction. The settlement also confirms that the law is to be equally applied to LGBTQ people and heterosexual people, and that library books not being used for classroom instruction are excluded from its mandate. Books that reference LGBTQ characters or same sex couples are permitted under the terms of the settlement as long as they are not instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity any more than a math problem
asking students to add bushels of apples is instruction on apple farming. This story is a little different, isn't it? Don't feel like it's quite the win that you thought it was. Do you and keep hold of this one as well? Forty minutes past the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. People are big stories in the press box. American credit scores are dropping for the first time in a decade. Now, why would that be? Oh yeah, we're seeing more and more people having to resort to using credit
cards to pay bills, and their credit is mounting. In fact, the average credit balance is thirty one hundred dollars per person, that's the average. So you're paying the minimum, you're not being able to you're not able to pay it off. You know, it's one thing if you're using your credit card and you're using it in place for security reasons or whatever of cash, and then you pay that off every month. You're disciplined and you you know
you do that. That's awesome, good good on you. That said, if you're paying the minimum, it discloses on your credit card statement how many years it's going to take you to pay the bill. And if that balance is growing because you're using your credit card to pay your monthly expenses, not for an emergency car repairs something, that then you have, you know, allocated in your budget some money to pay that off over a few months or
whatever the case might be. You know, you're just you're following further and further behind. And that's what we're seeing now. Credit scores are starting to show that bank profits are down. And this little tidbit Trader Joe's the tote bags that they saw that they're they're selling there. It's a limited edition mini canvas tote bag. Apparently people are are waiting for them to be rolled out
and they're pouncing on them and buying as many as they can. They're trying to limit the number that you can buy, I guess at the stores, but now they're being resold online for as much as five hundred bucks. It's just we're a weird society, we really are. I just want to share this, and I'm I'm hesitant to applaud just because it's Congress. There is a bipartisan bill coming out of the House, Bipartisan Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary
Controlled Applications Act. It's a mouthful looking at comments from Jeff Smith, Heritage Foundation Director of the Asian Studies Center. He said, this is the first true attempt at a legislative solution to TikTok. It has a legitimate chance of succeeding. It's the first legislative solution with a real chance of becoming law and surviving challenges in court. It's not a broad attack on all social media.
It's an attack on a business controlled by the communists and it interesting because they're allegedly voting on this tomorrow. The residents said, he'll sign it. TikTok says, the bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it. Yeah, you're right, there's no disguising it. It's a ban on TikTok. The legislation will trample the First Amendment right. No, no, no, no, no, no no no.
See, this is TikTok's and desperation mode. When when demonic evil forces are at its end in a given fight, it gets nasty, It gets real ugly. And that's where we are with the with the affected young people out there that are addicted to this nonsense. But here's the thing. It doesn't trample the First Amendment rights. It says that business can't do business in this There's all kinds of ways for people to exercise their First Amendment right, just not there. Come on, let's get it done. I told you
I'm waiting for Congress to screw this up. This would be huge, This would be huge. So if there's something good that can actually happen between both parties, we might have found it. There seems to be common ground on
the agreement that TikTok is bad. See about the flight Australia and New Zealand that took a dive, just fell and fell, hit a pocket and fell so hard, so fast that people not strapped in we're thrown into the ceiling of the airplane and one person seriously injured, members of the crew ten hospitalized. And I mean, it was it was weird the way the airline first just you know, talked about it, and I mean, honestly can't predict
that stuff. That's why they tell you keep your seat belt on unless you're moving around the cabin. But even then, I mean, you're if you're if you're walking to the restroom when that happens. Could you imagine sitting on the toilet when that happens, Oh my goodness, that would be awful. The possible things that could be thrust into the air well you're in the restroom.
Oh this doesn't help, you know, We've been we've been talking off and on anecdotally about the the different things happening as people try to fly across the country or fly wherever they're going. Under investigation Indonesian airliner two of its pilots fell asleep for thirty minutes in flight one hundred and fifty nine passengers on board. Where As they say in the NTSB souls, the midair nap came two and a half on a two and a half two and a half hour
flight, and you're taking a nap and it's your job. Get this. The lead captain was thirty two, his co pilot was twenty eight. According to the report, the way it worked, the pilot awoke, asked his second in command if he would like to trade places and offer he refused. The pilot awoke twenty eight minutes later to find that the aircraft was not on the correct flight path and his second command was napping. So the captain's taking a nap early on, wakes up, says, hey, do you want
to take a nap? I'll take over. Guy says no, I got it. Captain goes back to sleep on a two and a half hour flight, he's taking a second nap, wakes up to find his buddy taking a nap, and somehow it's off course. I mean, people do realize that these planes can literally fly the entire flight and land themselves full stop these days, Unless you're dealing with an antiquated aircraft. I'm just saying it's not helping.
Not helping it all time for manly minute. These are skills, virtues, ideals to teach your young son so the one day you can look him square in the eye and say you, sir, you are a man. And I think you have to say it that way, don't you man? A manly man. We've been focusing on the dinner table last week, and I'm repeating it just because it bears repeating, based on what I observe in public. Teach your children, your son to chew with his mouth closed.
Teach him to chew his food with his mouth closed. If he has something to say to wait, just wait. Here's right there with it. Subtle important little thing that is a lost art. Taking the napkin and placing it on the lap. There are certain meals where an extra napkin might be necessary to use as a as a de facto bib. I get it. But the practice of take it. If you're at a restaurant and they have the cloth napkin, unroll the silverware, place it in its proper place. Take
the napkin and place it on the lap and keep it there. Unless one goes to the restroom in which you can leave it on the seat, or you can place it next to your plate, and then you come back and place it back on your lap. The use of a napkin placing it on the lap. These are little things. The ladies will notice when your son is of age and they'll say that that good looking fell over there is a man. I can tell look at the way he uses as a napkin.
Yeah, that's what we're looking for. Mail by birth, man by choice. When we come back our number three of the Morning Show with Preston Scott, don't leave us. Hey, if you're tuning in to hear Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute and the director of the Stopping Socialism Project, sorry, Justin formulated yesterday afternoon he could he could have appeared if I would have twisted
his arm. I didn't want to do that. He's a friend and he's a brother in Christ and he's helping a family member through a medical situation. And he said, you know another next month would be better, and I said done so. My apologies. If you were tuning in to hear Justin, and I know that you'll understand because you people are awesome and we appreciate you very very much. Third hour of The Morning Show with Preston scott On Preston, that's grand. And have you seen the follow up to the mysterious
circumstances surrounding the death of Angela Chow? I have not. You know who she is? I do not. She is the sister in law of Mitch McConnell, Elaine Chow's sister. Yes, she passed away in what the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said were circumstances that led to a criminal investigation. Until they can rule out a crime that's committed, that's the way it's going to be. They're just odd. We now have details. She was fifty years old, died in a car accident late life last month, well the middle
of the month, and the Wall Street Journal has released a story. And here's what's been reported. She and her husband own Tesla's, that's what they have, and they live on a ranch. Her husband's very very well off, so is she. They are. She's very well connected and as is her sister, as is Mitch McConnell. I mean, this is a lot of money flowing around here. They had a ranch in central Texas, UH, some miles outside of Austin. She was driving a Tesla Model X,
which is their suv, late at night. During a three point turn, she advertently put the car in reverse instead of drive, and the car went over an embankment and into a pond on the property. This is where it just I mean from the standpoint of the victim. Citing interviews with those close to Chow, officials and law enforcement documents. The outlet reporting meaning the Wall Street Journal, that Chow called a friend in a panic moments after the vehicle
began to sink in the water. She could not get out. First responders the ranch manager. Friends reportedly attempted to break windows, tried to find an escape hatch in the Tesla. One friend jumped into the pond. Emergency vehicles showed up at twelve twenty eight in the morning, according to the incident report, and came twenty four minutes after an initial call, so nearly a half hour after the call. First responders came. The car was completely submerged.
Try to rescue attempt, but she was not resuscitated. She was on advanced life support for forty three minutes. I'm not suggesting anything criminal happened here. I think they'll find she made a mistake. She was apparently with friends. They and she was back at her place on the property, and they're staying at guest facilities on the pri I don't have all of that down, but she though she drives Tesla's and that was one of her vehicles, inadvertently put
the thing. And I don't know if it's a toggle switch. A lot of vehicles now don't have the shifter things. They've got little weird dials and buttons and so forth. And if you know about electric cars, when you hit the accelerator and you're going the wrong way, those things move fast. Electric cars move very fast. I'm just wondering if this is going to move elon musk to putting a feature on the vehicle that immediately opens windows or something
of cars submerged. I'm just curious. I don't know what you do in that situation. But she panicked and it cost to her life. See if you don't get a car door open, a window open, and the water pressure gets to the outside of the vehicle, most people just aren't going to be able to open the door. They're just not. The water pressure just
keeps it close. I'm just thinking, wouldn't you think that the advanced engineering of a Tesla would allow for and will now somehow have a program set in it that if it detects water at a certain level of the vehicle, it automatically drops the windows. Now, the panic sets in because if you lower the windows and you're underwater, the water's gonna flood in. But that's your
only chance. Your only chance is to is to then get a deep breath and hold it until the water pressure subsides in the in the rushing in and you get out. That's that's the only way. Do you think about stuff like that? What you would do if I guess I've just got the you know, seat belt cutters, yeah, in you know, the glove boxes of my cars and things like that, so the windows shatters that that kind of stuff. Yeah, Like it's a one thing, right, It's a
kit. Yeah, like a little almost like a hammer in your hand. On one end it's got the slicer for the seat belt, and then the other hand it's got the pointed tip where you crack the window, yeah, pop the windshield and got those in the cars. Yeah, But I mean, do you think about that? Do people think about what ifs if you
ended up in a water submerged situation like that. I'm just I'm just throwing out the idea that I've got to believe Musk is as high profile as this is, he's going to engineer something because that's what he has is people do and then that's what he does. Anyway, dead Spin, dead Spin is the media outlet. Let's put some context on this story before I tell you what's happened. Senior writer for dead Spin. Is it Koran or do they
pronounce it Karen? Yeah, I don't know. Allegedly attempted to ruin the life of a nine year old kid holding armenta accused him of racism for wearing the head dress and black and red face paint to cheer on the Kent City Chiefs. They took the picture and only showed him wearing the black and so they accused him of blackface and just attacked him. The article initially titled the NFL needs to speak out against the Kent City Chiefs fan in black faced native
headdress. It's like, shut up, just shut up. It's a little kid cheering on his team. Anyway, ruined the kid, I mean the kid's life was just made a misery and they've sued. The parents have sued. Dead Spin got sold. Dead Spin got sold by Goo Media yesterday to a newly formed European startup firm, Line Up Publishing, quoting. After careful consideration, dead Spin's new owners have made the decision not to carry over any of the site's existing staff and instead build a new team more in line with
their editorial vision for the brand. So what is that? Do you know? No idea? But I know this, Every single member of dead Spin has been fired. Wow, every all of them gone. I'm not rejoicing in people losing their jobs. I'm rejoicing in an entity getting a course correction. Maybe yeah, whatever this new vision is, who knows well. I mean, if they were wanting now, they could be separating themselves from it
for a liability purpose. So they don't carry any chances of a liability for anything that dead Spin's pumped out there, because this Karen Phillips not the first time that that writer's engaged in race bating. That's a thing. But the market forces have perhaps brought a course correction on yet another media outlet, Sports Illustrated ESPN's ongoing adjustments. Now dead spin, I'm just saying, go woke, go yeah, you know the rest. Hey, it's knowing any here
again. Ever heard of soonification? Let me read the definition. Soonification translates data into sound. In this case, the orbiting telescope Chandra and other space telescopes send digital signals that are then turned into incredible. We've seen the pictures of the Cosmos. It's incredible. What God made is absolutely astounding. Soonification takes that that digital data that creates the photo and maps it into sound.
Sionification scans data from one side to the other, and each wavelength is mapped to a different range of tones that our ears can hear. For example, the light of objects is pitched higher. The intensity of the light controls the volume. Radio waves are given the lowest tones, medium tones are visible data, and the X rays have the highest tones. So when you hear an
image, you're hearing the visual image. You're taking a visual image and creating it in a way that it allows people who have low vision, vision difficulties or are blind to see through their ears. Does that make sense creating an image in their mind by way of sound. So what NASA did is they did sonification on three different solar systems pictures that were grabbed by the Chandra and
other telescopes. And what I want to do is I want to play three of them for you, this one, and I'll tell you where to find these. If you're out there and you're you're visually challenged and maybe you are blind. I know that we have listeners that are blind. I get regular email from a listener that falls into that category and others who are legally blind. This might be something that you find really cool, and I thought it
would be awesome because we are an auditory medium. So as you're driving around, imagine what this might look like as you hear it. This is called I see four forty three the jellyfish nebula, and that was a scan of the photo from top to bottom. Now we go to M seventy four. It's called the Phantom galaxy. It's a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way. And this is what this picture produces insonification. Now that's a galaxy that's spinning
clockwise, and so the image is being played if you will clockwise. If you listen to this in stereo, you hear this, you see by audio the sound move from right to left. It's incredible. But my favorite is this one. This is called ms H eleven fifty two. The cosmic hand bottom the top, and that is a super super nova remnant that was photographed by by Chandra. Now, if you want to see this and check it out more in depth, go to popside dot com. That's Popular Science.
It's website popside dot com. And in the search in the little search bar, search NASA, And as of right now, it's the second story in and you can play those things. I just tell you, if you listen to them in headphones and stereo, they're incredible. It's just cool stuff. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Big Stories are next. Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Money Talk in just a few minutes with Howard Eisman. But first the big Stories in the press box.
Lot do you buy restore Carver cairentile? Hey? How is it possible that we are a country now that when Target releases a limited edition Stanley tumblr forty ounce everybody loses their mind. I have the forty ounce alternative to the Stanley right here. That's it. Huh Yeah, this is this is the one of the competitors out there. What no one can explain to I think
anybody satisfactorily. Why why? This is why the fascination. Yes, I'm not sure, which I find hilarious, because Stanley has been around for forever. Like I make tools I have, like my great grandfather's like thermis that he would take to the fields with hot coffee. It was a Stanley. It was a Stanley like giant green thermos with a cup on top, you know, like that's that was a Stanley cup. That's a Stanley thermis. It's been around for forever, so I don't know why it made such a
resurgence recently. Well, the latest craze is a limited time mini Trader Joe tote bag. I got to see these. The videos are viral everywhere. One has over three million views, with crowds rushing the stands all right. The clip shows shoppers waiting for Trader Joe's staff to wheel out a display filled with the two dollars and ninety nine cent mini canvas tote bags really, which are almost identical to the company's original canvas tote bags, except they're smaller and
they've got the same handles. They come in the same colors as the normal ones. The only difference, according to the website, is that the is that the totes are smaller thirteen inches long eleven inches tall. It's I'm looking at it right now, I don't what And it's two dollars and ninety nine cents ladies and gentlemen. And in some cases sets of the three dollars bags are priced at five hundred dollars on eBay. That doesn't mean they're selling for
that just means what they're priced at. What in the world. I have to know the lore behind this? What have we come to? I'll let you you you find that out, and if you get an answer, report back tomorrow. We'll do. American bank profits are tumbling if you dig inside
the story. The decline in quarterly earnings was driven by quote non recurring non interest expenses at large banks, which could refer to the special assessment fee that they have to pay to the fdi C following the failures of Sillylicon Valley Banks, as well as two other of the Silicon Valley Bank and two other larger financial institutions. So wait a minute, So the FDIIC charges a surviving bank money when other banks fail and they have to make up the difference or the
cost of the insurance fund. Okay, chalk that up as reasons why we're in trouble. American credit scores are dropping, not a good sign first time in a decade. And Governor DeSantis the administration reached a settlement on a court case. It keeps the printal rights and education law in place, but it has been settled and there are modifications that I think are troubling. Money Talk
next to the Morning Show. Let's do a little talk with investment advisor Howard Heisman would enhanced financial services Securities advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member Finland SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA. The opinions expressed are not those of NBC Securities Inc. Or iHeartMedia. On appropriate matters, seek professional tax and or legal advice them Money Morning, sir, how are you Howard? Howard ups? We lost Howard.
Let's let the music play. It's got a great bassline here. Hopefully you'll call back talking about money on the Morning show with press time, because that's what we do. We talk about money. Hawardisement with us this morning. Hello, Howard, good morning for us making the best out of the situation. My friend, food prices, Okay, if they're coming down, I don't know where they're coming down, because everything I'm seeing says they're going to
still go up. Yeah, they've still been rising this year. In fact, it's expected per the USDA, the Department and Agriculture, that food prices will increase by two point four percent this year. Uh And that was a lot, a lot more than the one point three percent increase they it forecasted.
A little bit of a silver lining is though, that these increases are still a lot less than they were back in twenty and twenty three last year when they went up almost six percent, and in twenty twenty two, of course through the roof almost a ten percent increase for going to the grocery store. But one two three percent of an inflated price is still greater than one two three percent would have been two three years ago. That's right, That's right, that's my one I want. Yeah, And Howard, I got
to be honest with you. I'm looking at the data out there, and I'm seeing all the stories of farmland being bought up by Bill gates beef production being hindered. I don't think there's going to be any lasting cut. Do you believe that we'll get accurate numbers on where food prices are or will we be relying on what people are paying at the grocery store. I'd like to think that the USDA and their methodology is pretty reasonable. But that's about the
best I can answer that question. I think most everybody knows that's what their final bill is when they check out it. Yes, you know with the cashier right exactly, And it's not limited to food though rent is still high. Yeah. In fact, the biggest component in the increase in the Consumer Price Index, which, by the way, last month's CPI came out this morning. It was a little hot, hotter than expected, at four tenths of one percent increase, which means for this trailing year, the CPI was
up three point two percent. So the Fed's got a lot of work to do to get it down to two. But let's yeah, let's address rents. The folks who happen to live in New York City and are renting a one bedroom apartment, and if you've ever been in that area, a one bedroom apartment in New York City is like a big poach postage stamp prep. Forty two hundred a month is the average rent and that's a thirty four percent increase from the next closest metropolitan region, which is just down the road in
Jersey City, New Jersey. And New York City as a whole saw an increase of eighteen percent in rent prices. So trending the wrong way, and it's easy to understand why why New York is losing part of its population. One final topic here I got to get to before we go, and that is tracking Congress. Yeah, this is a sad story because it goes back a number of years when Peter Schweitzer's book kind of lit a fire and we had some temporary relief for a little bit. Throw them all out was the
name of the book of the bombs Out, That's right. So there are two exchange traded funds that actually track all the trades of all the Democratic members of Congress or sell stocks, and there's another fund that tracks all the trades of the Republicans that buy and sell stock up in Congress. And of course they have access to information that none of your listeners, of course, has
any access to so not shockingly Preston. Over the last year, the Democratic index find increased by over thirty nine percent, the Republican fund by a very solid twenty percent, and those the Democratic Congress folks beat the S and P five hundred by over eight percent. And it's really frankly despicable that folks would use access to information. And I guess legally or allowed to do that sort of thing. Will stop there to keep people from driving off the road.
Thank you. How yes, sir, have a good days. Thank you, sir. Forty eight minutes after the hour tomorrow on the program Social Security, Everything You've ever wanted to know the Truth about Social Security with Rachel Grezler of the Heritage Foundation. Also tomorrow, Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez will join us. See me, look at us. Thank you. Lord Ray wrote in he's got the explanation why the mini totes. Okay, it's important to have
smaller trader Joe's bags. That way, shrink flation doesn't seem so extreme. Wow, I have a bag full of groceries. Look at this. He also said, if Haiti was a horse, we'd shoot it. I mean still to come, we'll talk more about that. The pioneer wife of you, your wife, your sweet wife. She's a Costco goal, right, we are a Costco family. We like bulk at Costco. Yes, bulk has always been a challenge for me, because like, what do you do
with four hundred worlds of paper towel? I just I just don't know what you do to store all of it? Anyway, you find places, you'd be surprised. They were selling gold bars, they sold out. Now they're selling silver coins. You can go online and buy American, but they've been selling Canadian maple leafs one out silver coins, tubes of twenty five for six
hundred and eighty bucks. Now allegedly they're sold out online. They say if you want to get them, you got to just check your individual stores and hope for the best. You know, doing the math. I'll do the math real quickly. Here, Uh, six point eighty divided by twenty five that's that's twenty seven dollars an ounce. That's that's floating it up there. Pretty good. That price is up. So I'm just saying, maybe that's good. I don't know. I mean, it's Costco. Everything's supposed to
be priced great at Costco. Maybe that's a steal spot. Price of silver has been fluctuating between twenty six and twenty eight of late, but man Costco sells it all right. I mean, what, what's the best thing they sell at Costco? Ooh, well, that's hard to say. We'll come back to that. Brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. I couldn't recap the amount of material we've gone
through today in one hundred and eighty seconds, let alone ten minutes. Couldn't do it, Or I should have put it the other way around in ten minutes, let alone one hundred and eighty seconds, can't do it. We just I might have set a record for stories covered. We probably covered twenty five stories today. I just suggest you go to the podcast and listen again and again and again, and remember where we started today. We started with God's Word. We went to Luke eleven. But we also asked you to
