Five minutes after the hour of six am on the Eastern time zone five in the Central. Good morning, friends, and welcome to Thursday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, March the fourteenth. He's Grand Allen over there in Studio one A. I am here, I'm Preston Scott and Studio one B, and we begin show five thousand, one hundred and fifteen. It's one of those backward forward things, five one one five, so either way, it's the fifteenth show. Great to be with you this morning. Talk about
getting punched in the face. I did a commentary, and my commentary is already dated to a certain extent. I'll explain. But first verse of the day one Peter two versus sorry, second Peter one dyslexic there verses five through eight. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue, with knowledge and knowledge, with self control and self control, with steadfastness and steadfastness, with godliness and godliness, with brotherly affection
and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful. In the knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Let me unpack that with one simple thought. If you call yourself a Christian, you doing with that knowledge? What are you doing with it? Are you hoarding it? The verses from tewod Peter speak
to the challenge of being fruitful with the knowledge. So if you go to the very end of that, you go to verse eight, you work backwards and you say, okay, I have this knowledge of Christ. Are these things being displayed in my life? Am I? Am I being fruitful with that knowledge? There you go, that's where we begin. You were verse
of the day I mentioned I got I got punched in the face. Already with my commentary being dated, I mean I literally recorded it forty minutes ago, and it's already dated because it's about Boeing and the safety issues surrounding Boeing. And then get this yesterday flight leaving Dallas, I want to say Dallas anyway, Texas headingto UH to the UH to Japan. I think lost a
tire taking off. They had to make an emergent, they had to make a landing in lax landed fine, but there's there's there's actually a photo of the wheel falling off, just dropping right off and take off oops. Then a flight leaving San Francisco heading overseas it had to turn around because of a problem, and that's another Boeing flight. You've got the seven thirties seven MAX issues that have grounded the plane, two different versions of the plane twice.
Now, and then you've got the audits. I don't know if you saw this story. Man, we're getting started. Early Boeing failed like thirty three of eighty nine audits. And in those thirty three failures there's like ninety plus points of defects or problems with the manufacturing process. Now we connect the dots to the guy who is a whistleblower six seven years ago left Boeing complaining about
quality control issues that they're not doing their job keeping the plane safe. Now look at all of this, and oh, by the way, that guy turns out turns up dead, and his attorneys are out there saying we he want a criminal investigation because he was in good spirits. There was zero indication this guy was lamenting anything. And so the concern is he got offed, he got hit, maybe lured to a parking garage, and then set up to make it look like he killed himself. I don't know that. I'm
just saying that's what his attorneys are saying. As I said in my commentary, I'm buying new tires for my car that I'm not flying unless I absolutely have to ten minutes after the hour. How is it the Trump's not holing at sixty five to seventy percent. Who in the world, other than just socialists that hate this country could think that Biden is a better choice for election?
Who could be thinking that even if you factor in the hate for Trump by the illiberal extreme media, not even the extreme media, that just the liberal mainstream media entertainment world. It's I mean, how in the world could anybody take a look at America today and think, yeah, we're just killing it. Oh anyway, the fourteenth March fourteenth, inside the American Patriots Almanac
seventeen forty three, America's first recorded town meeting takes place in Boston. I've never fully understood how to pronounce is it fenul hall fanual fanual fanuel hall man English? It's just it's great fa and e youl Fanuel. Now see, if I were just right in the word, I'd say, let's make it easy on everybody. Fa and Yu l E. Fanuel. That's just let's just spell it phonetically and move along, please. So that's the first town
meeting. Forty years later, George Washington writes his Newburgh Address, urging the army not to revolt over lack of pay. I want to pause for a second. As the brilliant David McCullough writes in the book seventeen seventy six, the number of events on which the history of this country hinged, these just these incredibly important moments. It's just amazing. Imagine if we had lived in
the era of unions. Huh. Think about this now, the era of unions, and we're trying to birth this nation, and the troops are unionized, and as union members, the union leadership says, now, I'm sorry, sorry, General, We're we're going home. We're packing it up, we're not fighting anymore. But we had enough men and women with a unique constitution that believed in the importance of breaking free of Britain and the rule of
a royal lineage that claimed power by birthright. I just I marvel at something like that. And it's why I have this little tiny collection revolving around the revolution, because it is so consequential and in an event like that, they said, okay, General, And it took a person of Washington's character. Yeah, he kind of had the stature and reputation of a monarch, if you will, And like he put down a rebellion, the Whiskey rebellion,
kind of in this way. He commanded a presence almost like a monarch. Well, he was taller than everyone in the room. Yeah, you kind of got attention that way. Yeah, And he wore the military uniform everywhere he went so well, and then he was funding some of this with his own money. These men realize he's digging into his pocket here, and I just it's just one of those things that you pay attention to in history. Seventeen ninety four, Eli Whitney pattens the Cotton Gin. Nineteen twenty three,
Warren G. Harding becomes first president to file and income tax report. Boo hiss on that nineteen I mean, good on you, Warren, but boo hiss that that was required. Nineteen fifty the FBI's most ten most wanted liss debuts, and in nineteen fifty one, the un forces, led by US troops, of course, recapture sold during the Korean War. Of course, it's up to us sixty youngest country out there, and here we are. I'm probably gonna be a little bit of a outlier on this opinion. Pennbrook
Fairways is a neighborhood in uh In and around Leesburg, central Florida. It's kind of adjacent to the Turnpike and I seventy five got a golf course in there, and guy was fishing a pond inside the golf course area there something that I suppose he was allowed to do. Some places, you know, forbid that type of thing, especially on the golf course because it's a golf
course. No fishing allowed. There are there are some places though that you know, that's part of the community, and that's kind of what they do. They allow it. So he's he's fishing, catches a fish, he's reeling it in. I'm piecing this together now, and he's apparently near the near the edge of the water, so he's he's he's kind of casting and fishing from the bank. It's got the fish, and out of nowhere comes an alligator and witnesses see this, and people on the golf course see this.
All of a sudden, he's rolling around the gator's rolling around and a man comes up without a hand. He loses his hand. There are multiple emergency calls to Lake County Fire Rescue. There's transcripts of those calls. They don't really shine a lot of light. You know. There may be signs around the lakes that say beware of alligator, don't feed wildlife, et cetera, et cetera. You know, Fish and Wildlife says, you know, obviously that's a fine if you do that stuff, because you're getting them used
to approaching people and so forth. Don't know for sure if the guy was just trying to unhook the fish when the alligator came up and he you know, he's got his attend you know, on the fish and not getting hooked, taking the hook out. Helicopter airlifted the guy to a hospital in Orlando. Apparently, Fish and Wildlife they came and dispatched the gator and I maybe retrieved the hand, and so there's you know, no telling if they're going
to try to reattach the hand or what. But it's now a nuisance gater, so they had no choice but to dispatch it. Here's my question. There's a part of me that thinks in a developed community like that, I'm not talking about you're on the edge of a large lake right where you know, this is like Lake Jackson or Lake Ammonia or Lake Seminole or Lake Talquin or whatever around these areas where we live. You know, those would be
areas that I would say gators have a right to be. But in a community like this, a golf course community, I question what do we do in having gators in there at all. I just to me, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Whether it's a child that's just walking along the bank. You know, he's a little kid playing golf and he hits his golf ball near the edge, and what does he know? He's just out there playing golf. And I know that for some it's like, hey, this
is Florida, man, this is what you get. It's like it's like being in Montana or Idaho or Wyoming with grizzlies. It's just part of the territory. And you might be right, Like I said, my opinion on this might be contrarian. I just don't think in a developed neighborhood pond you allow an alligator to it to even be It's just I don't I don't get
it. It's like, we see these stories Disney. You know, Disney's famously got some of its properties on swamp land, and they say, you know, we've seen stories of people getting killed being dragged in by gators, and now they have these little fences and things at Disney resorts and warnings, and I'm like, dude, you're Disney, what are you doing. You're inviting young people and families and you're letting these alligators stick around. I don't
know. Maybe I'm alone in that opinion. It's okay, I'm I'm I'm used to being a sentinel, standing guard my principles and ideals that I bowld deer. Come back with the big stories in the press box. Our cell phones, a problem with our brains, the radio waves and all that stuff. Talk about that next hour, Doctor David Harts, Steve Store will join us, give you a road trip idea. Lots of things to talk about, of course, and we now segue to the big stories in the press
Box, brought to you by Restore Carpet Cairen Tyle. We mentioned Boeing. Does that cause you any pause? Grant that just all of this stuff with boeing it to me just as you well know I'm not. I don't want to fly unless I absolutely have to anyway. First, where are you in that whole issue of flying or not? I don't even think about it.
I'm not flying anywhere anytime soon. It's not even on my radar. You do, legitimately not something I'm going to do legitimately never even crossed my mind that said, I am, particularly in Texas flying or drive and drive? Yeah, okay. The interesting thing about this topic isn't so much the singular industry, but at this point you kind of know how my mind works.
I like to think of it as kind of like a bell weather for maybe a more macro conversation around what I've described as I got this from someone I didn't coin this term. But the competency crisis, like we're like where you're going, Like we are legitimately gonna have some serious problems. If basic landing
gear is not working right, We're gonna have some serious problems. If how many people know how to to tow a vehicle, jump a battery, jump a battery, any kind of task or skill or job that has a kind of learning curve to it, it's not just like a laptop job that you can pop open a laptop or remote wherever. It's something that actually takes like
you and your hands have to be there for it. And like we're staring this competency crisis in the face, and like our roads and bridges and buildings and building codes are all now a part of this competency crisis of things that just aren't being handled properly and to the standards that we're used to. And that wasn't even on the big story list. But Boeing has had more meltdowns. I'm just saying this safety issues with Boeing just add more weight on that
side of the scale. Yeah, it's just like yeah, no, It's like if Boeing's got that problem, what does your smaller manufacturer, smaller manufacturer, local municipality like water and sewage? Right, how many people are working in those fields? Like it Boeing, this massive mega corporation with government contracts and seemingly all engineers, yes, yeah, seemingly all the money in the
world. What about your your small town you know just to the west of us in the Panhandle, do they have are there workers there that are able to keep up the infrastructure. Clearly, you got to pump your own water. That's it, dig your own well. TikTok bill passes the House three point fifty two to sixty five onto the Senate. Now, Senator Ran Paul is saying this is a bad precedent. I'm just saying there's a contrarian view on this. He doesn't believe the hype. He you know, the houses
bill says, it's not TikTok, it's who owns TikTok. It's Bite Dance. Byte Dance is beholden by law to the Chinese Communist Party. It has to do the bidding of the party, divest yourself of Byte Dance, and TikTok can resume operations. And then I say, okay, so they're just going to get around that. I just I agree with the idea getting TikTok out of people's hands, but I just think parents ought to be doing it. But that's I know. Just anyway, we are nearly one trillion dollars
in debt by itself in the current fiscal year that's five months old. We are just under one trillion dollars south in the red Casey Desandras's program, Hope Florida. It has helped twenty thousand people get off government welfare here in Florida. How about that removing people from the dole of the government. Last November they announced they're expanding the program to serve Florida veterans. That's okay, come on, now, that's doing some good. If you're getting twenty thousand people
off welfare, that's doing some good. And then we are now on the verge of a major measles outbreak in America because of illegal immigration. It's breaking out at migrant shelters. Is anyone surprised? Preston Scott sixty percent of the time. It works every time on news radio one hundred point seven WUFLA speaking of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrant is accused of causing a head on crash that killed a young boy in Missouri. You just added up, you just add
up the lives lost singularly because people were in this country illegally. Say their names. And it's such an easy solution. Yes, yes, anyone that has a door that locks can embrace the solution. Right. It's just it's so frustrating to hear where are the social justice warriors in this I mean, if you want to gain credibility for your cause. How about being out there
and saying, you know what, this is wrong. But the social justice warriors know who stands in the way of their movement, and it's families like the Riley family, the Lake and Rileys of the world, who are raised in a particular kind of household, coming from a particular kind of family,
that stand in the way of that. So, of course they have no opinion on illegal immigration because the victims of this are exactly the people who are being most affected, people who are losing their lives, are the political enemy of the social justice warriors, and they don't care. They don't care if we die, then let they don't. Then let's pivot to this. I agree first, But then why aren't the social justice warriors angry because all of
the illegal migrants are taking the jobs? What's so fun? I'm so glad you brought that up because it's I actually came across a clip because that's the one time Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson get really fired up about this topic of illegal immigration. Is when low skill migrants or you know, you name it
are coming in and taking jobs from black Americans. And that's the one time, they get real fired up about it, which makes sense because their entire external persona is being an advocate for their in group right, and so any threat to their in group's success supposed to success, they have to oppose that. So this is like the one time you'll ever hear Al Sharpton and Jesse
Jackson talk about the ills of illegal immigration. But if the ills of illegal immigration head toward and are being a fan by the white community, you will not hear a peep about it. Let's not Let's not forget how much fun it is to hear, for example, Al Sharpton, but resist we much
we must. They're all jitty about a shut down the tortif in the race, then co author of hohobrees you two lead singer Bono Franz Rasher Singa Nooi weave a suspect, Jaha Sanayev, Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbag, Rush Limbag the show, Rush Lombard host, Supreme Court Justice Sonya Stamaya, Mike Is, Mike Muckery yesterday and Tonini, Antonin Scalia, ok Ro and van Ghazi.
We ranked behind Latviji La Vita first up. Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is getting lunch at chip La, Why was traffic problems email sent the Environmental Projection Agency and what the sequestation has done so, in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, shows some r ESP I c t resist we much, you're welcome. Well, it's a degree of inevitability. Katie's going to spill into
Florida. Florida Governor Ronda Andis has has addressed the issue. He's got more effort being put into protecting Florida's coast from those fleeing into the United States illegally. I mean, you could make the argument that you know, there's there's a humanitarian crisis going on in Haiti. However, what I want to focus on here thanks to I'll call him our friend. I've never met the guy,
but Scott Beacon the Bee Line does incredible research. We've shared some of his stuff over the last couple of years thanks to one of the research assistants, in fact, research assistant supervisor Rob on the on the Morning Show. He pointed us in the direction of the Bee Line, and I found out Scott listens to the show from time to time. I don't know where he lives, no idea, but he posted something this week in one of his
newsletters. And it's interesting. You know the country's collapsed. You've got cannibal gangs. Grant pointed this out a couple of days ago to me, Cannibals led by General Barbecue. Where do you think he got that name from. He's an ex cop turned into the guy that now is de facto running the country because he's captured eighty percent of port of prints with his gangs. I mean, this is cartel stuff, all right, but you know his fingerprints
is all over this. Bill and Hillary Clinton. This is the research that has has come from Scott and he doesn't miss much. The Clintons used the Clinton Foundation to raise aid money for Haiti. Bill got himself appointed as Special Envoy to Haiti post president. He assumed the role of determining where all the Clinton and Foundation and other international aid got distributed. When Hillary was Secretary of State, she controlled most of the USA to Haiti. Collectively, they controlled
over thirteen billion dollars of international donations to assist. Now get your head around this thirteen billion. The entire GDP of Haiti in twenty ten was eleven point eight billion, so she said, quoting Clinton, announced that Haiti would be a laboratory where the United States could road test new approaches to development, taking advantage of the power of proximity. So Haiti was going to be a laboratory for Hillary Clinton and by extension bill, to show what progressive policies can do
to help develop a nation. Haiti has been on a path to chaos and disaster for years. And if you look at a couple of articles, it's got links to the Haitians hate them. They hold the Clintons largely responsible for what has happened in the last fifteen years in Haiti, if not more. And the question that's being asked is what happened to that money? Where did it all go? Here are two headlines from the mainstream media now to a
certain extent. Nathan Robinson, Current Affairs dot org What the Clintons did to Haiti. This is twenty sixteen is the title. Their actions in the country were shameful and shouldn't be defended. This is a guy who preferred Hillary over Trump for president. Here's another article, how the Clintons robbed and destroyed Haiti. This is from a Canadian website. I'm just saying you look at Haiti and the disaster that it is. And then you can say, oh,
laboratory for progressive ideas. Huh, fair enough, look at the results. I rest my case five minutes past the hour of seven am in the Eastern time zone, six in the Central. Thanks for allowing us to spend time with you. That's how I view it. Thank you for inviting us to share time with you this morning show with Thrusty Scott. That's Grant Allen. I'm Preston and this ladies and gentlemen on the phone line joining us is the executive editor of Talassie Reports. He is Steve Stewart. Hello, sir,
how are you? Good morning? Then? I appreciate you letting me tu and in from locations south. There's a lot of stuff to talk about. So yeah, let's start with Amazon. I mean, why not right A and the alphabet A for Amazon? What what can you tell me? So? Leon County Commission will meet next week and they're going to get a six month update. Now this is an update that's provided by their their staff. But I thought that the numbers are just to me, are just mind bogling
in terms of the impact. You know, a lot of times we see these projects where you know, they talk about what their impact is going to be if they can get some incentives and something happens and the contract goes south. Never and you know, never turns out Amazon is just I mean like
a machine. It's just you know, it's hit every milestone. And so it's a two hundred and fifty million dollar construction project with one hundred and twenty million dollars in local construction wages, which is obviously huge, with almost forty million dollars of those wages going to minority businesses. This is just getting the building constructed. And so once they got that done, obviously they were I think they were just a little bit behind schedule hiring. The projection was they
would hire a thousand people at fifteen dollars an hour. The reality they've ended up hiring fourteen hundred people the jobs at a minimum of seventeen dollars an hour with a host of benefits, which again that's just uh, that is a lot of a lot of wages into the local economy. But this is the
kicker. This is the thing, I you know, I don't think that we're going to get enough publicity on is that forty three percent of those jobs are in zip codes one, three, and O four, which is that they're downtown french Town and those are the areas which have suffered from unemployment. And so again the benefit is just the benefit seemed to be just amazing. Now, you know, I got a couple of calls early on about traffic
concerns that reports that there are minimal concerns there. There are plenty. This is the roads around Amazon are controlled by Florida Department Transportation. They do have some plans to make some improvements, but there's just been a couple of issues, which I think part of it is truck drivers taking the wrong route out
of Amazon, and so they're they're dealing with that. Now, again, i'd be glad to hear about any you know, other major problems, but it seems like that they've been able to deal with the issues there on traffic. One of the other things that was of concern to the elected officials was to have a bus service out to Amazon, and Amazon agreed that, look, if you guys can get bus service out there, we'll actually pay for
the bus stop and and things like that. Well, that seems to be dead in the water after the city because remember, Amazon is not in the city, so they don't have bus service, and so they got a proposal from the city about providing bus service and it's u It's one point three million dollars in startup cost and an annual payment of two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. So I'm not sure if Amazon's going to step up and want to do that or if the county is going to want to do that. But
that's ridiculous, Steve. Yeah, it seems a little out there for me too. They are looking at Amazon as a cash cow. This is as simple as re routing the many routes that don't have anybody writing on them and just sending them in another direction. That's ridiculous. Well, you know, someone made the point how much would the bus service even be used to Amazon, you know, because people now there's no bus service now and the fourteen
hundred people that work there are obviously getting there. And so anyway, that was one of the last components. And the thing I would like to add is that the so the incentive for this that was paid by the Office of Economic Vitality was two point five million, So obviously probably the greatest economic development project in Leon County history, given the dollar in and what we've gotten from this. And again this was a I know this was this came out of
blueprint. It was a vote of eleven to one to support paying this incentive. And you know now that you see the milestones are are met, obviously the impact is really great. Another thing to consider here is that you know this one, it wasn't long after that we've got this project, okayed here that Amazon started to pull back and quit building these things and they actually canceled some in Florida. So we were extremely lucky on the timing of this.
Hang on Steve Steve Stewart with us ten past the hour. It's the Morning Show with Threston Scott. Remember subscribe Tallahassee Reports dot com communicator of common sense amplified. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott covering the stories others don't cover because being friends with the locals isn't what news gathering is about. It's about reporting and letting the chips fall where they may. Steve Stewart is the executive
editor of Tallahassee Reports. That's where you can find that kind of reporting and pretty much the only place you can find that reporting here locally at tallasse Reports dot com. Steve, we have discussed at nauseum the ethical, shall we say, challenges facing one of the city commissioners. But now concerns on those same ethical issues are coming from outside the pages of Tallahassea Reports. Yeah, so this is an issue that we've been covering and it's and this is I
think an important segment here for people to understand exactly what's going on. Commission reporter. It took some trips to some left wing conferences. These conferences were prosponsored by a group called Local Progress. They have an interest in local officials adopting far left policies. So she took these trips. We know that the city that the taxpayers paid for some of the expenses, which I think in itself is an issue. The second part is we also know that there is
some expenses paid by someone else. Now, look, we try to call her. A simple answer would have said, look, you know, yeah, we Local Progress paid for those. We forgot to claim those on our financial disclosures. We'll go ahead and do that. That's what everybody has done around the country that has gotten caught taking these gifts from this group and not disclosing them. Instead we get silence. No one wants to answer it.
So the issue is this is either she paid for him out of her personal account, she paid for them out of account paying account, or somebody else paid for them and we're just trying to find out who did what because again, this group has an interest in what the City Commission does. So just imagine if someone took a trip to a conference in you know, Wisconsin with the developers or vendors who have an interest in the city of Tallahassee and they
paid for their hotel. So this is this is a level of activity that we're talking about. We can't get an answer. We've written the stories, we've asked for the documents, we've gotten the documents, and so what we did is we reached out. There's a there's a number of ethics advocates that comment on these issues. Ben Wilcox has a very good reputation in terms of
dealing with the city's ethics board. He is a founding member of the Integrity Florida and just recently he testified at the Charter Review Committee and got i think a five four vote to increase the the purview of the Tallhase, City of Talis, the Ethics Boort. So he is someone that will look at the facts and then render opinion. He read our stories and we asked them for a quote, and he basically advancing what we're doing here because we can't get
any answers from Commission reporter. And mister Wilcox said, look, these are legitimate questions and they deserve answers one way or another, and so we wrote that story. Now we're getting blowback on this because obviously, as you said, you don't make friends when you talk about these things. But look, I've looked at I've talked to other elected officials, and I've researched other documents. I'd be willing to take phone calls. We can't find any other elected
officials that have taken trips that can't explain their expenses. And so, well, Aman you offered Steve, you offered three options. We know it's not one of them because if she paid for it, she'd produce the receipts and we'd be done right. And so the other option is to go ahead and declare this that you know, I made a mistake, and I you know, and I needed to this on my gift forms that I'm responsible to do
by Florida law. But this gets back to I think the bigger problem than the thousands of dollars that were paid for the hotel higiing, the big lodging. The biggest problem is she's trying to hide this from her constituents. Yeah, she's been involved in this group. She's signed resolutions about the Palestinian conflict. She's gone to these conferences, and now we have a story up on our site to give you an idea of the politic positions that these people are
pushing and trying to get local governments to pass. And it should be alarming to the people in Tallehassee and Leon County. So I think that's the bigger issue, is the lack of transparency. She doesn't want to talk about it, but you know, one of the issues is natural gas, and we heard Comision Mattlow bring it up a couple of months ago. All right, Steve stand by sixteen past the hour, twenty two minutes after the hour.
Steve Stewart with us. He's the executive editor of tell Us Your Reports website tell us reports dot com. I don't care what you hear, what you read anywhere where. The first mention of the northeast d annexing from the city came on this very radio program because I broached the idea. I'm the guy I thought of it first. I just wanted to say that because I feel better having that out there, and that leads us perfectly because city districts and
the races for city commission are very consequential here in the upcoming year. Steve. Yeah, So, you know, we talked about the Charter Review Committee last time I was on last week, and I went back and listened to the details. Obviously, the method of election for city commissioner was on the table because the city of Tallase, the way they elect their city commissioners is at large, and basically what that means is there's no districts. All five
city commissioners could live in one apartment complex downtown. Is the way the approach is. And that's unique across the state of Florida, yep, for major cities and so but we really never had a deta discussion at the CRC meetings. They did travel to the South side to hold a meeting to get input, but they never traveled to the North side. And I noticed some comments from some of the board members that you know, well, this was the environment. It just isn't you know, it just isn't in place for us
to discuss this and and the issue. After I went back and listened to some of the meetings there are there was a concerted effort by the progressive element in this community to basically quell any discussion about it because, first of all, the reason they didn't want the discussion because if the facts got out, people will go, wait a minute, why are the out why are we the outlier? Well, Preston you know well and a lot of your your listeners know, well, how do you shut down a discussion? Is you
start using race once you once you implant into somebody's calculus. Did if I come out and say something, They're gonna stink I'm a racist? And that's
exactly what happened early on in this process. A left wing data consultant who is based in Tallahassee by the name of Matt isbel to Fight at the gave public testimony at the charter review committees, and he's his argument was that if you went to city districts that due to the racial polarization in the white suburbs, you could not guarantee at least two African Americans to be elected on the city Commission. First of all, it's not anyone's job to guarantee any race
is elected, exactly. But so right off the bat, he made it about race, and you know, people get queasy about even trying to push back on that. Well, there's a couple of things here. First of all, it worked because he showed up later in the process again to talk about minority representation. But the facts are all wrong. I mean, if you look at if you look at Leon County Commission, and you look at
the school board, which has districts, there is African American representation. Well, and man point out that Nick Mannix is an at large representation and he got support from the North. Corey Simon is election to the state Senate, he got support in the North. In fact, he got overwhelming support in the North. Well, I think again, I think it's important to understand
how the progresses view you know, the white suburbs. Quote in the North, they don't you know, they basically think they're racist, and so they use this to put this, you know, to put this debate in a little box and everybody was afraid to push back. Now as you just what you just talked about. John Osmond, who was the leader of the Democratic Executive Committee for close to thirty years, agrees with us. Look, you know when I say us, me and you in the sense the city districts
would work. And he points out that you know that African Americans are elected in the district process. And so anyway, this follows the misinformation line. And it continued when this guy Matt isbel again with the help of Ryan Ray, who is Matt Low's aide and the head of the Democratic Executive Committee, started putting out this chart comparing the city of Tallahassee, for example, to
other cities, saying they were the same when they actually were not. Now, look again, it gets into the weeds a little bit, but it's more misinformation, and so well, that's what liberals do, that's what a liberals do, Steve. When they don't have facts on their side, they form these ridiculous arguments and then they're almost always going to be based on false accusations, name calling, and emotion. And that's exactly what this is. In the point is there was no one that well there was you know,
again, you've got you've got ten members. A couple of people tried to push this this issue, but it didn't go anywhere, and so we're left with this. Now, look, there is a City Commission meeting that will have it we'll discuss this, and so that would be a time that we could point you know that people that support this could point these things out. Again, let's just get the state to do it. No, I'm serious, right, there's a mechanism for that. Yeah, I don't know exactly
how it moves forward, but we could definitely look into that. But again, this is just disheartening that you can't get a you can't get adults in a room to discuss things that would actually help move Tallahassee forward. I mean, the reason why we have this function now to City Commission is because of the method of election. You know, you wouldn't have these three two votes if you had it, if you had districts and at large seats with a
city that provided ideological and geographic diversity, you wouldn't have it. And but they the progressives, think they can get control of the City Commission and implement all these leftling policies. That's the that's the plan. Steve is always thanks for the time. We'll talk next week, all right, have a good weekend, Presston, talk to you later, all right, Tellascyreports dot Com. Forty six minutes after the hour, run a little way. Doctor David
Hart's just moments away. Optimum Health Naturally. Big stories in the press Box, brought to you by Restored carpent Care and Tile. All right, so Boeing is a train wreck right now. It's throwing more weight on the side of it. I'm not flying. Oh and train wrecks throw them into the conversation too. Trains. So we've got planes, trains and automobiles. If we go to the old Steve Martin John Candy movie and right now, automobiles, best bet longer, takes longer. But yeah, so we got Boeing's
that's a story. More incidents yesterday. And let's not forget the dude that his lawyers say there needs to be a criminal investigation. He didn't kill himself, that's what the lawyers are saying. I don't know. I'm just saying, add it all up, look at what's happening in Boeing, and it's like, yeah, they could have just said, but they maybe not who knows. I don't know, but I want to focus down on this TikTok issue. It passed the House the ban on TikTok. Now it's not a
ban on TikTok? What it is? Is it it? I mean, TikTok can divest itself from the parent company, byte Dance, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, and they can remain on and available. But they have to do that. Now my question is, well, what will that accomplish? I mean, do we really think that, Okay, the Chinese aren't going to figure out a way to keep getting the data anyway? How do we verify that? I don't know how we verify it? I
just I don't know. So if this, my question was, if the federal government forces the sale of TikTok away from byte Dance to an American company, right, so, a new tech I mean, it's got a ton of US employees, US investors. It will have a ripple effect. But here's my question. Several questions. Trump's out there saying, well, there might be some bad stuff on TikTok, but all you're gonna do is make Facebook bigger, and Facebook is no friend. Does he have a point I
don't know. Rand Paul is out there saying let me let me rather than paraphrase, let me just quote him. He reactionaries who want to ban TikTok claim the data can't be secured because the algorithm is in China. Not true. The truth is the algorithm runs in the US, in Oracle Cloud with their review of the code, not in China. Maybe we should examine the facts before committing violations of the First and Fifth Amendments. First of all,
it's not and this is where he's wrong. I I love the Libertarians. I think that they're they're great at breaking things up, kind of kind of destroying, tearing down Leviathan. But the hesitation to you know, like I don't even think that the instinct to be concerned about how like, you know, the Uniparty seems all in on this now, Like, I don't think that's even a wrong instinct. I will say, I am. The more I think about it, the more torn I am. I don't know.
There's a lot to consider. Here's what I do know. It's not a violation of the First Amendment. It just isn't. There are all kinds of means to exercise your first Amendment rights. Let me use this as an example. This would be like saying you can't buy cardboard for your protest sign at this store that's owned by the Chinese. You can buy it at all these other stores and protest all you want, you can't buy it from them. That's the equivalent. So anyway, I just think a deeper dives required here.
I'm all in favor of getting the app out of kid's hands, but that's to me still it's a parent's job. Forty minutes past the hour, Morning Ship with Preston Scott. I'm Preston Hi. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Let's have some thoughts of optimum health. Naturally, that is one of the most brilliant double entendres ever, it just is. We are joined by doctor David Harts Hi. Good morning, Preston. All right, so the government has ended research on the
damages of cell phone transmission. First of all, why, I mean, are we do we have conclusions or no? It's the problem. They just stopped researching it for some reason, and they're using old data from two G three G, which basically wasn't good data. In itself, because there was animal research that showed that tumors were being caused in male rats and so forth, and I guess maybe maybe female, but I guess they only tested male.
But anyway, there was problems with that research. But they now have decided that they don't need the research it any longer and used a paper that was unreviewed and actually unpublished to say that it's not necessary any longer. And
there's big concern. In fact, the people that were working in the UH the administration previously can't understand why in the world all this has been stopped at this point, and so they say it's her quote is from missus Davis, the former and National Toxicology program says it's beyond her comprehension at this point, given millions of children daily are exposed to five G and four G radiation.
So it's really kind of very disturbing that this is happening this way. But for some reason there all of a sudden decided not publish the research they've done and to not have any more criteria as far as future research. So what do we do? Yeah, you know, that's the problem. So what do we do? We try to go ahead and protect ourselves as much as we can. We don't. They're not saying that it's harmless. You're just
saying we're not going to research it anymore, which is really unusual. So anyway, we just need to continue to I think we're getting lulled into sleep about cell phones and their safety. We definitely don't need to be holding into our head. People are using, you know, the speakers much much more. But we don't need to be holding these things to our head for sure. We also not to need to be carrying them on our bodies whenever possible.
If you do carry them in your pocket or something close to you, do it as least exposure as you possibly can, and then get them out of your pocket, get in the car, put it in the car you're sitting down, put it next to you. Don't keep it in your pocket. Keep these things away from reproductive organs. They seems they had problems in the past. You just want to keep them away from them whatever possible. And also in your house, try to use, if you can, wired
systems instead of the wireless. I mean, it's a trouble to do that, but if you can do it, it really really helps because it cuts down the exposure, and just don't sleep near these phones either. You don't want to sleep near them. Don't put it near your head. If you're going to use them as an alarm or something, put them away from you so you have to get up and turn the alarm off. Not have it
right next to your head. Anything you can do like this helps. These definitely are more harmful when you're transmitting when you're talking on them, but they also are emitting radiation when you're not talking on them. And at this point we don't even know. With five G they say the higher frequencies don't penetrate is far, but they're not doing any research on telling us of what they
do. They're saying they don't penetrate as far. But so anyway, it's just disconcerning that all of a sudden, something that can potentially cause us much trouble. It's just not even being researched anymore. Are there any organizations, any groups, any universities you know that are doing studies outside of the purview of the government and outside of the purview of the industry. There doesn't seem
to be anything I've been able to find. I mean, there was a court ruling the US Court Appeals. The SEC was actually sued and they were found neglectful in the process and actually ordered to do some research. And they supposedly had done something and said we have this research. It was twenty nineteen and they never released the research to this data, it's not been released, so probably. Yeah, So it's one of those things where we've kind of
seen it before. Something's going on that's in any research coming out, and we just need to be really really serious about trying to protect ourselves. I think doctor Harts is always thanks for the time. I appreciate. We'll talk again in a couple of weeks. My friend, Okay, have a great day. Thank you, sir. Doctor David Hart's with us. It's called Optimum Health. Naturally, see they see what we did there. Talk about
entrepreneurship next hour, This Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, it is fifty two past the hour, road Trip, Idea Moments Away, entrepreneurship next hour. Some tips I came across it might be useful to you if you are thinking about or if you're just at the beginning stages of starting your own business or side hustle. Even got some information on side hustles and how productive they are in the land down under. It just came across it.
But first, just to quick we talked about this with Salnouzo over recent weeks with Consumers Defense. As part of the state budget, lawmakers passed a one point five billion dollar tax relief package. You never ever hear those words come from Democrats. They'll couch, it will tax the wealthy and lower taxes on the poor in the middle class forgetting to remind you that the poor don't pay
income taxes. They get it all back and anyway, But I just thought i'd share the some of the tax relief that's coming your way, the back to school sales tax holiday. If the governor signs onto all of this, and I expect that he will, it'll go from July twenty nine through August eleventh, fourteen days, not just a couple of weekends, and covers a
lot disaster preparedness sales tax holiday. It would last for fourteen days twice during the season of hurricanes, June one through fourteen and August twenty four through September sixth. Hurricane season runs June first to I think it's December first. I think it runs through the month of November. It says here November first, but I believe that's wrong. Freedom Month a summer sales tax holiday. It
would run from July first through the thirty first. This is interesting. Admission to music, sporting events, cultural events, movies, zums, theater and dance performances, state park passes, fitness facilities, water and boating equipment, supplies, camping products, fishing products, electric scooters, outdoor supplies like sunglasses, sunscreen, grills, pool chemicals supplies and parts. That's an interesting one. Promoting getting out. I remember they did that a couple of years ago
too. I don't remember that. Yeah, a Freedom Month where all those outdoor stuff, outdoor things are not taxed. Skilled Worker Tools sales tax holiday run September one through seven, hand tools, power tools, work boots. There are some prohibitions in terms of limits, but hey, there you go. Toll relief. I like this, and this is helping out people that use toll roads to commute to and from work. I love this. That would be about four hundred and fifty million alone right there. See, the
state, this is what responsible governance can look like. The state says, and I'm going to blow off my entire road trip here. Sorry about that. The state looks and says we're doing well. Revenues are coming into the coffers because of tourism, the growth of the state. We can find ways to cut taxes and give money back into the private sector, which in turn pumps money into the economy, which in turn drives more revenue back over time. It's a win over time. But you give a break. This is
what good governance does. It says, we don't need to spend everybody's money. We don't need to take everybody's money. And think about this. Florida is largely a consumption tax state. It works. It works. Come back with the third hour of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Third Hour of the Morning Show. I'm a chicken. I admit it. I am hesitant
when it comes to this issue. That not issue, sorry, this topic, this idea, and I bet I am like a lot of you, and some of you out there are going to be so thoroughly disgusted with me you might even turn in your Morning Show card. I'm willing to risk it to be transparent. The idea of running and owning my own business causes me to almost get a little sick. Yeah, that's funny. That sounds like a dream and it is, except it's not. But it is, but
it's not. Here's the thing. I respect anyone that owns a business, but to be a business owner, to be an entrepreneur, an entrepreneurship is exploding. And I maintain can't prove any of this. That of the what's the number here, five point four eight million businesses that were started in twenty twenty three, A lie, A bunch of them are off the books. Oh yeah, and not necessarily because people want to just make money under the
table. Some absolutely, but I think the obstacles are so daunting and they're probably not. Again, I'm just being very very real with you. I think the obstacles are daunting enough that people just say, I can't navigate that, but I want to do this, so I'm going to do it. And it's a side hustle. They're making money on the side and they're trying to figure out how do I do this and not get in trouble, because you know what, you can get in trouble. You can get in trouble
making money on the side. You can get in trouble starting a business and not following the rules, so this would be categorized as like ten ninety nine self employment like contract work. Or you're a business owner and you're taking a proceed from that business as a profit and you're putting it in your pocket.
Now what see, you have to have a CPA, you got to have an accountant for that, or you better know what you're doing to do that, or you don't know where to put that on your ten forty or whatever forms you fill out, And then what about those reporting forms to the IRS for your business, to the state for your taxes. You're starting to get the reasons why I think it is difficult, and because I don't want to
take the time. I don't go there. If there's a business that's going to Like, for example, I've been working on a book for years, and if I write a book, I'm going to probably have to open a business and set up an account and hire an accountant and deal with all that, because I mean, I don't know unless unless I get picked up by a publisher and they send me a check, and then I still have to deal with that. Do you have to do that even with like self published
Amazon? Of course, if you're making a profit absolutely you do just to incorporate. You're getting to now you're drilling down to what I think are the land mines out there. And that's why I say good on you. But you better know what you're doing. Because of those five point four eight million new bigs businesses last year alone, I just believe that at least half,
if not more, are off the books. So when we come back, I've got six things that experts say every entrepreneur should know now that I thoroughly frightened some of you, and again tip of the cap respect to anybody that gets past those and has gotten past those hurdles. I just think it's really tough for people to start a small business anywhere. I just think it is.
I know the state of Florida is trying to make it easier in Florida, they're trying to help out, but I think that you've got government has to make it easier to be on the right side of legal when it comes to income profits and all of that stuff. I just think they do anyway here are. I came across this on Epic Times in their bright section six best financial hacks for new entrepreneurs. Number one, make sure you have a
business plan that's like number one, business plan includes your company description. I was going to say, that's more than just make money, YEP, market analysis, organization and management service or product line marketing and sales, financial projections, and that's just the starting point. If you're going to involve others investing, if you're going to get a little small business loan, you have to
have this. You have to have this unless you've got a buddy that's good at it and will help you develop it and is throwing money your way because he believes in your idea, and then he'll help you put the business plan together. You're not going to get any funding unless you have one. That's number one. Number two budget all resources. Don't shoot from the hip, establish a budget for your business. Number three. Cash flow management is an
imperative. Eighty two percent of businesses fail or businesses that fail eighty two percent of the time because of negative cash flow. Cash is king, So you need to make adjustments daily, weekly, monthly, whatever the thing is. So if you got, for example, revenue goals and you're not hitting your goals, you then do corresponding cuts in order to keep the cash flow positive. That's just and I know it's common sense. But it's not because it's
not so common, is what I'm saying. It's because people get into this, their business is going to thrive, and yet they're not paying attention to cash flow. Number four, separate your business and your personal accounts, even if you've not made your business official. Set up a separate account, even if you're not incorporated per se. Business money has to fuel the business, so you don't mix and mingle, and that can present an issue if you
mix and mingle with the irs. Number five, focus on one goal. Succeed before you expand you know you have a proof of concept window here that you're operating within. Does the concept work? Did your widget? Did you market it? Did you get it out there? Can you even measure whether you were successful or not? Don't expand until you can do that. But don't sell yourself. Sure and and and go out and venture into something and not market it properly. Not learn about how to do that. There are
all kinds of ways to market products. And then number six, find a good and trustworthy accountant and listen. You can use software. There's software programs out there, but if you keep track of your cash flow, you can follow the trail and and help yourself. You can hedge and be more successful, but a good accountant will help you with all of those tax things that
we talked about that are the stumbling blocks. But people are usually short on cash when they fund a business or a side hustle, and so they don't take that step. That would be like step number one I think after your business plan is getting a good, good, good CPA tax accountant on your side. It's just now again, I think the government should make it easier and you don't have to have that, but in the environment we're in,
I believe you do. So those are the hacks. Take them for what they're worth, which is five minutes of your time in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. So, is there a side hustle you've always wanted to do a little side thing that you thought, you know, this would be fun to kind of develop. Yeah, it's entirely unrelated though to what my career is. Of course, it's it's entirely returning to my roots being impacted by
you know, like my my grandparents on the farm. And so if it's it's something that you have to go whole hog into, you can't just really like have agriculture on the side, you know, right, you can actually if you have like this remote kind of job and then you live on your homestead. People are actually doing that a lot now. But that's like, that's my quote unquote side hustle. See, I think you and your brother
ought to be like Buckeye Boys. You guys just like a podcast. Yeah, you guys just sit and talk about Ohio State primarily football, little basketball, and you just you just Yeah, that's what I think you too ought to do. I'm serious, you two. That that would be like you could turn that as big as the Ohio State fan base is. You guys could turn that into a cottage industry. It's the sports sports podcast world is very saturated, so it would be finding a niche, carving out a segment
that no one else has done yet. And that's that's hard in a very very oversaturated media space. See, I don't agree. I don't think you have to do something no one else has done. I think you have to do what other people are doing better than they do it. That's true, that's true most in the Actually, I think that's probably right. It may be way easier than I'm even thinking. It is. Well, let me let me, let me let me drop this on you. I've shared,
I think with you. I know I've shared it with with others. A link to an outdoors channel called the Outdoor Boys, and it's this dude and his family and his family, and he's kind of a geeky guy. Yeah, they're kind of funny, but he's got mad bushcraft skills one hundred percent. And now he's involving his family more and Outdoor Boys. You think it's a group of men, No, it's this guy and he brings his sons on some of his adventures, but not all of them. Imagine the stories
those boys will be able to tell their own grain. He's got over eight million subscribers, I know. And it's it's fun to watch. I it's so rare that you can find like a YouTube channel that I feel comfortable watching with my baby girl around, because it's wholesome, it's clean, it's informative, and it's so fun. He just took a trip to Florida over the New Year. Yeah. I watched that series and he paused the tape because
they were going into church on Sunday morning. But here's what I wanted to point out you know what the man makes a month, Oh, when you have eight million subs, he makes over one million dollars a month. Yeah, in YouTube revenue. Not to mention all the other platforms like Instagram. You can get some monetization from Instagram content. It's unreal. And imagine the sponsorship opportunities. What outdoor company doesn't want a piece of eight million subscribers that
are watching his stuff? You know, Arii, co Op and Yetti are just like salivating for if he wants to go that route. He may not want any part of that. He might want to do reviews of equipment at some point and have a spinoff channel. I'm reaching out to a guy named Rick Shields. Yeah, he's got his golf followers. He's he's approaching I think three million subscribers and and he's just a likable chap from the UK, from Manchester and and he's turned. I mean, the guy gets invited by
Mercedes to the Masters. He'll play Augusta for the second year in a row. Right, come on, he's the Royal and Ancient Golf Association in the UK and Europe. He's there. He's their guest at all of the Open venues, they invite him out, they set him up. He plays the venues before the open and does these features, and he's he's a good golfer. He's not a great golfer. He's a mad golfer. Oh he's better than most. He's a very good golfer. But he's a likable guy.
But he is parlayed that into an amazing business. And he's got like four channels and a podcast, which, by the way, you can hear on the iHeartRadio app that I listen to every week. I just I wanted to just kind of carry this thing over, this entrepreneurship thing in the UK, Go Daddy said. A study of three hundred and fifteen thousand online businesses found that two thirds generated at least five thousand dollars a month. That's inside money.
Yeah, that's now, that's that's Australian money. That's about thirty three hundred US but nearly half, nearly a quarter make over twenty five thousand a month. Can you imagine if you're just a regular middle class family and you decide to do this like family vlogging stuff, and all of a sudden you take off and now you're making what that like the sky's the limit and what I tell people, and I've told I've told people. Don't you be the
judge of your idea? Floated it? Let the public decide. Get it out there for a few months, six months a year, and see if it catches on. Just let other people be the judge. Your audience, your perspective, buyers, your perspective, the people you want to reach your business idea with. Let them decide if you're going to be successful. Too many negative thinking people out there. Twenty eight past the hour, Preston Scott, Hello, Hello, anybody how hia Live on news Radio one hundred and
point SEVENUFLA Players Championship underway, sawgrass Panavidra south of Jacksonville. Saint Augustine went to the tournament last year. No interest in going again. I mean it's fine. I just you don't see golf going to a golf urn it. It's funny. Now, you can't possibly appreciate how good these guys are on television. You only appreciate that in person, because only in person can you see the three dimensional aspect of the golf course, the challenges of hitting certain
quarters and certain sides of things. And it's just these guys are good, so are the gals. Anyway, the Players Championship is underway. I am going to be following that just because I love golf. That would be my side. Hustle is trying to find a way to turn golf into some money. I don't know, Yeah, yeah, that's my I mean, my book is sort of overlays with golf. But big stories in the press box brought to you by Restore Carpet Care and Tile. All of a sudden,
I'm channeling, you know, George McFly. I don't know what if what? But if no one likes it? What if everybody thinks I stink? I don't think I could take that kind of rejection. Casey Desandaz spearheaded a program called Hope Florida. Now there's a big story in the press box. Why because it got twenty thousand Floridians off of welfare. It helped twenty thousand people get off government assistance, and there's more to be done. It's a
program that has great potential. I know a little bit about the inner workings of Hope Florida, and I can only tell you that there's great potential. You combine that with what Corrections is doing with programming and making sure that the twenty to thirty thousand archerrated individuals that will return to communities across Florida this year are prepared to be successful. There's some game changing things going on inside Florida that you ought to be proud of and if you can, how to jump
in and help. But that's that's good news. Now we get to the rest. In the first five months of the fiscal year, the budget deficit for the United States was eight hundred and twenty eight billion dollars. That is just short, just short of one trillion dollars in five months. It's just that's just the story. Just those are the numbers. Major measles outbreak reported in the US as migrant shelters become disease breeding grounds for various infectious diseases,
measles one of them. You think you got to handle on this stuff here in America, Well think again. Because of the open border policies of Joe Biden and demokrats, demokrats, all of them, it's their fault. Lake and Riley, it's their fault. If you voted for them, it's by extension, your fault. And we're gonna get more of this story here In just second. TikTok bill passes. The House made Grant nervous The Morning Show with Preston Scott on a post on Twitter. Yeah, I know, House
Speaker Mike Johnson, Communist China is America's largest geopolitical foe. True or false? I'd say true. I still I think so. Yeah, okay, using technology to actively undermine America's economy and security true false? Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty true. We're pretty much we're green with the Speaker on this one. Apps like TikTok allow the Chinese Communist Party to push harmful content to our youth and engage in malign activities such as harvesting the location, purchasing
habits, contacts sensitive data of Americans. True false, It would seem to be true. Yeah, as well as many you know, other social media conglomerates. Today's bipartisan vote to pass the Protecting Americans from from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act? Can we just call it? House Bill? Yeah? Two yeah, demonstrates Congress's opposition to Communist China attempts to spy on and manipulate Americans, and signals are resolved to deter our enemies. I urged the Senate to
pass this bill. Senate to the President so we can sign the bill into law. Now, the legislation passed the House. It was three point fifty two to sixty five. We haven't seen many votes like that. No platforms should not be in jeopardy, said Republican August Fluger of Texas. This should be an easy choice for TikTok, which is a subsidiary of byte Dance,
which is closely linked and controlled by the Communist Party of China. As you can see right there, the dangers that lay with a company that has beholden too a government that is demonstrating on a daily basis their willingness to undermine American interest both home and abroad, not just with data, not just with a particular platform, but in many areas. So the choice is pretty clear for
TikTok. They either divest from their parent company, Byte Dance, which is controlled by the CCP, or they won't be allowed in the United States. The Senate seems to be aligned in a similar way. Grant raised this question, and we simply are throwing this out there. Should the fact that it was an overwhelming vote concern us I still believe the best method is for mom and dad to be mom and dad. You pay for your child's phone. They don't have it, period. That's just that's simple. Personally, I
wouldn't be giving them smartphones. I've learned my lesson too late for me. My kids are all adults now, but I would never have given my children smartphones. Just wouldn't have done it. Nope, here's a flip phone. Enjoy But dad, sorry, sorry, when you are moved out of the house, you're not even gonna have one in the house, even if you're paying your own bills. If you're in the house, No, anyway,
you're torn. And to be clear, I am also fine with the civil magistrate, like if they determined that like this is destructive, this is like a threat to national security, and I think it is like not only not only a threat to that national security, but like the psychological effects of these addictive, highly addictive style dopamine recur Like there. I think there's an argument there, And so I could overshadow and and and kind of circle in around
Instagram. So I'm YouTube correct. I'm I'm comfortable withacebook with the civil magistrate protecting the people in in in in that respect, but when they're like when the UN makes us nervous when they all agree on something, Yeah, it's like, hold on, wait, I didn't see this before. Is there a part of you that thinks Democrats know something Republicans don't get it. Uh? I don't know. The Democrats have an evil plan for the use of
this. Republicans just don't see it that are supporting this legislation. Uh, I don't know. I don't think that's what I think. That's a part of my worry. Oh boy, what's in the fine print here that they didn't pick up on and Democrats are in the court board? I guess maybe just because I just think of them always the same anyway, I don't Okay, I don't think there's much of a distinction, but kind of like a unibrow, you have a UNI party. Uh huh yeah. Yeah, So
I don't know that didn't really that. That's not really dominating my thought on this. I'm kind of just ambivalent, like, we'll see what happens. I guess Rand Paul's out there. Are you in against it? Right? I don't agree with all of his reasoning. I like the thing is that I don't even disagree really with his reasoning. I just think there are other things that overshadow or outplay his argumentation for it. I just don't think he
may have a Fifth Amendment argument. He doesn't have a First Amendment argument. He just doesn't. It just doesn't exist. I think my analogy is really good, and in that, you know, if you want to buy your poster board, you can buy it from all kinds of places to protest. You just can't buy it from the communist own paper plant over there to the side. You just can't use them. You can use everybody else. See, that's where I think the First Amendment argument is just it's just it's fiction.
That's ridiculous. You're not shutting down to anyone's First Amendment, right, I don't. And and the thing is, I don't even actually think that the left is they're supportive of this, but it's not supportive because they want to shut down a communist sympathize. And so I'm like, all right, yes, what's thank you, what's the what's the what's the drive here? You just fleshed out what my thing was, and that's it. You nailed it. And I didn't know that you nailed it until you said it.
It's that. Wait, why are Democrats supporting this? Why are they supporting you would think they would be supportive of a subversive type of app Yes, because it is subversive. It is undermining the way that you think about this country, the symbols of this nation. And we're running way way late, just saying I'm like, way way late. So yes, I'm late.
Fredday Radio program already under construction. Excited that twenty one hours from now we will be ready to start all over again with the Friday edition of the program, What's the Beef, best and worst and good news headlines from the Bee will give you a dad joke, and of course all of the news and and topics issues stories. I think we've got a stupid criminal story session tomorrow.
Maybe animal stories too, don't know about that. But this People for the Ethical Treatment of ann boy, I always get hungry for a steak when we talk about them. I want steak, I want shrimp, I want chicken, I want ribs, I want yeah, yeah, bacon, turkey, yeah, m little little red snapper, blackened snapper. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, calling on the White House to roll a different way this spring oh, I saw this. They want the White House to swap
chicken eggs for potatoes at the annual Easter egg roll. They want dyed Easter potatoes. Children love animals and would be sad to learn that the eggs used for fun and games that the White House come from tormented hens whose lives are spent in cages that afford them less space than a standard sheet of typing paper. I don't doubt that there's some facilities out there that are not the most comfortable for chickens to lay their eggs in. Actually really dislike, you know,
inhumane factory farming techniques. I agree, I actually really don't like that. Completely agree that said. Have you ever rolled up potato? Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the morning show on WFLA. Used up nearly all my time. Curse Flatt, you got mashed potatoes at the bottom of a hill, used up nearly all my time. Can't reset the program. I can tell you that our friends who restore Carpet cair and Tyle presenters of the big stories of the press box. And then we covered a
lot of things. We talked with Steve Stewart, talked to doctor David Hart's protect Yourself from your cell phone, especially your private parts. We also covered and I'll be honest with you, this week might go down as more stories covered in one week on this program than any time in its twenty two year history. And by the way, next week we celebrate our twenty second anniversary. I nearly forgot about that. I'm gonna have to buy myself a cake. Hey, talk to you to my all. Thanks for listening.
