Transcript

And we begin our twenty second anniversary radio program, and we transition, We celebrate year twenty two and begin year twenty three, all at once. Good morning friends, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. That's Grant And it showed five and seventeen. It took twenty two years to fifty one hundred and seventeen shows. Wow. When someone says you got to get the show ten thousand, I'm like, I don't think anybody wants to be

listening to me for that many shows. Anyway, Good to be with you this morning. We start with some scripture Romans fifteen thirteen. May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope. You know, I thought when I see the word hope, I'm reminded how one of the most remembered lines in the last oh, I don't know, twenty five thirty years in movies is from Shawshank Redemption, which is a movie that has

stood the test of time. It has its moments where you know it's not for kids, but it is a terrific movie. And Andy defrayin is imprisoned wrongly for life. And he said to his good friend inside the prison, read, member, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. Now it's a line in a movie,

but there's something about that word. And if you trace its roots, and you look at the best selling book of all time, the Bible, and you look at a verse like this in Romans fifteen, where it talks about hope, it's it's easy to understand. Why. May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that the power

of the Holy Spirit may abound in you in hope. And I have this thought of the Holy Spirit just being that encourager, not just a helper, not just a source of wisdom, kind of tapping you on the shoulder, saying come on, now, come on. But the Holy Spirit, its power allows you to abound, abound in hope. Hope is a encouraging,

empowering word. So if you're rolling out of bed today, if you're starting your day and you're feeling a little hopeless, may the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that the power of the Holy Spirit may may abound in you in hope. Ten minutes after the hour. That's how you start a day. Let's get rolling. Open up the American Patriots Almanac. Great show for you today. Good to be with you. I hope you had a nice weekend. It's the Morning Show with Preston

Scott. At the Morning Show, Preston Scott twelve minutes past the hour, March eighteenth, No taxation without representation? Are kids even taught that anymore? Yes they are. It was in my high school okay, history class, So yeah, it's there now, Whether now whether it's applied to really think through the political implications of like what that meant, not just the phrase or the slogan, but like actually what it meant is a whole other story.

Survey your kids. Let me know if if your middle schoolers are still being taught that, you're high schoolers, if they're still being taught that now. I note that the legislature's saying, yeah, we got to get we got to get American history and civics, right, but just let me know President. iHeartRadio dot com anyway. That was the angry cry of American colonists when

the British Parliament passed laws requiring them to pay at new taxes Britain. It's been a great deal of money to protect the colony, especially during the French and Indian War. And you know what I get that the issue becomes and this is where you get like deep into like British constitutional theory. Yeah, the problem was the colonial charters that the colonies were under were under the old

Stuart monarchies. But what happened in the Glorious Revolution, Yeah, that's yeah, But what happened in the Glorious Revolution in sixteen eighty eight, the British government itself was for years monarchy as and then parliament kind of first and then second. It flipped after the Glorious Revolution and it became a parliamentary supremacy type

of organizational structure. And so when you had Parliament levying taxes against the colonists that were operating under the old charters, they never had paid taxes to parliament before because they were Virginians or Massachusetts men, or you name it. That that was the rub right. It's two different kinds of constitutional orders coming in direct conflict. I just know that that there's a part of me that I get where the Brits are coming from in the sense that they spent money,

They spent treasure establishing these colonies, the King's excheka. Yeah, but there was a problem here. See the Parliament's view the colonists should help pay for the defense that they had provided. Colonists took a different view. They were used to being taxed by their own assemblies, but they had no representatives in Parliament. As they saw it, they were being taxed without their consent. Boy, how things don't change. Yeah, anyway, they hated the Stamp

Act of seventeen sixty five on this date, in seventeen sixty six. One year later, the Brits repealed the Stamp Act, but it was kind of sort of too late. They had lit the fuse and it was so unpopular that church bell towers in London rang out at the repeal of these bills. Like, it was unpopular even in London. So they were ringing out in celebration that the repeal took place. Yes, good on them, we'll give them a little credit. Then eighteen thirty four, first railroad tunnel in the

United States opens, the staple Ben Tunnel in Western PA. Who's going under that tunnel? Who's going in a tunnel? In eighteen thirty four. That took some courage. Eighteen thirty seven. Grover Cleveland the only US president to serve two non concurrent terms until this fall. Born in Caldwell, New Jersey. Nineteen twenty five tri state tornado kills some seven hundred people in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. That was Ineen twenty five, And it was on

this date in two thousand and two. The Little radio program that Could was born, The Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty two years ago. Today, all right, it's sixteen minutes after the hour, come back with a little powerball news. We follow the power Ball Mega Millions, all the different lotteries out there, just because you know the kind of money that you deal with. It definitely can change a life, not necessarily for the better, it

can. Powerball Jack Pop is rolling over no Winner Saturday Night. The numbers were twelve, twenty three, forty four, fifty seven, sixty one, and then the red power ball was five. Three players won a million bucks, matching all five. Could you imagine if you had the ticket and you're one of those that watches the drawing and you see the first number pop up, and you're like, okay, okay, number two. Whoa number three?

If you get the first three numbers and you play, are you are you calling in the family at that point, call it in your spouse the kids when number four hits or do you wa all of a sudden the fifth number hits and you know you're winning. You're winning a good amount of money, I mean a million bucks even after taxes. And again let's set aside why in the world is a government, but whatever, So you got a winner of a million in Michigan and New Jersey in South Carolina, but no

one got the power ball, which was five. So it rolls over to tonight. The drawings are Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. Estimated grand prize now is about six hundred and forty five six hundred and fifty million, one time cash payout of about three hundred and seven, So after taxes, you're gonna get less then, I mean, you're gonna you're gonna the cash payout is three oh seven. Taxes after that is going to be another forty percent, give or take anyway, it is what it is. So that's that drawing.

But related Powerball news, the one point seven billion dollar powerball jackpot from October the winners come forward, and of course we joked about it. A Californian just saying the big jackpot seems to somehow always be one in California. Interesting anyway. A guy who's apparently part of a group that bought tickets together. Don't know how many are in the group, but Theodorus Struck is the winner. Purchased in Fraser Park in Kern County pop up three thousand. It's

unclear how many are part of the group. He's described by locals as a sixty five year old man who lives five hundred yards from the store, a family run business. A neighbor told a media outlet that he has long talks about fishing, but he had no idea where his neighbor is now. He said, if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. There you go. Now you got yourself a neighbor there. The name is required to be made

public, you know, there's a part of me. I get that, but I think that because you know why, I think it has to be made public so that the public feels like there's an actual winner and the state or the powerball consortium isn't just screwing over Americans. I'm just saying Arizona, Georgia, New Jersey among states that allow people to be anonymous. I'm a big fan of that. The little market, the family run Midway Market.

They got a one million dollar bonus check for selling the winning ticket. That's pretty cool. But anyway, so if you're into that kind of thing, today's your day to buy the ticket for tonight's drawing. And again estimated jackpot is going to be at about six hundred and forty six hundred and forty five million dollars tonight. You'd have the chance of doing the annuity, which gets you closer to the six hundred and forty five million or the lump sum payout,

which is what nearly everybody does. Twenty seven minutes past the hour, we get the big stories in the press box standing by here on the morning show that are going to continue to keep to people of Florida safe. Just recently within the last couple of weeks, and this will be made public later today, our Florida Fish and Wildlife Officers interdicted a vessel that had twenty five

illegal immigrants potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat and their vessel. They had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear, and we're boating very recklessly which would potentially endanger other folks. So that vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coastguard for deportations. So our folks have been doing this before, we augmented this,

and they're going to continue to do it. And we've got an incredible amount of resources that are now on display to be able to prevent. Now what's different today than maybe in the past, well part of it. We have more resources that the state has been willing to put up. And this is not really our responsibility, this is the federal government's responsibility. Coastguard does buying large a good job, but they're undermanned, they're under resource so we're filling

those gaps. I think one difference now is and we see this with our folks that we have at the border. You have people coming across the southern

border from all over the world. Haitians can get to the United States easier by flying to Mexico and walking across the border, and so I would anticipate if flights resume that will likely be where a lot of those folks who are trying to flee, if they want to come to the United States, they're probably going to go to Mexico and then come in through the border, knowing that Biden will just let everybody in. There you go, Florida Governor Round

Desantus making the announcement on Friday, This Morning Show with Preston Scott. It is a big story in the press box time, brought to you by Restore Carpet Care and Tile. You know, first, thank you Fish and Wildlife. Do you expect that? Do you expect that Fish and Wildlife is having

to do the job that the federal government's not doing. Now you can say that, well, the federal government can't control the entire coastline, and there is some truth to that, but our technology should allow us to know. Just like we know if an airplane is entering our airspace, we should know

if a boat is entering our territorial waters. And so the idea that we now have Florida Fish and Wildlife having to act as de facto border patrol, and the Governor points out, all that's going to happen is as Florida is successful in turning this kind of thing back, and keep in mind you're dealing with cartel type stuff guns, drugs, and it looks like some form of human trafficking. We're getting them across for a fee. As this continues,

the southern border becomes even more precarious. And I don't know if you've noticed, but there are more stories about the northern border becoming a entry point a sieve there as well. Supreme Court will hear arguments on today the case accusing the Biden administration of censorship by proxy. This is Murthy versus Missouri, and this case now will be heard by the Supreme Court. Of ruling expected in

June. Two lower courts found a coordinated campaign by top Biden administration officials to suppress disfavored disfavored views topic like COVID twenty twenty election Hunter, Biden laptop, the lockdowns. I mean, the list goes on and on where there is evidence that the federal government censored and suppressed not just our comments, the comments of experts of doctors. And I've got a kind of a common link story

to that coming up in the next fifteen minutes. But the Supreme Court is going to hear this that's good and oh, by the way, another follow up on the alleged suicide of the whistleblower Boeing, a very close friend of the family, speaking out to ABC News, told the family friend that if anything were to happen to him, it would not be a result of suicide, quoting he wasn't concerned about safety. Because I asked him, he said, aren't you scared? He said, no, I'm not scared. If

anything happens to me, it's not suicide. The friend said that mister Barnett loved life too much, loved his family too much. I know he did not commit suicide. There's no way this gets to a whole nother level in what's going on at Bowen. And This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Got a note here from Henry in kro Georgia. You may wish to inform your listeners that the hummingbirds are migrating back from their winter grounds in South

America. Spotted one yesterday, immediately deployed several feeders and they are already swarming today. I know the little guys would appreciate they've come so far in short distance. They're hungry, so their the hummingbird feeders put them out, my friends. March is usually when the hummingbirds start making their migration back north. And as he said, some of them, some of them are fly fly like over the ocean. In the entire way, it's crazy. How do

the little guys do it? How do they store enough energy? That's why they feed so often, because they're burning up so much energy. But they do. They know how to do it. They know how to get where they're going. It's crazy. Have you been following it all? The story of what's going on with the Attorney General in Fulton County, the district attorney, i should say, Fanny Willis. The judge's ruling is so fascinating to

me. I've been reading a lot of different views on this. So as it stands right now, she ends up having to disclose an improper relationship. She's having an affair with another attorney that she appointed as special counsel in all of this, and so the judge, Scott McAfee, said that one of them's got to step down. My question is why is he allowing her to

remain. He said that the nature of their relationship did not cross the line in terms of a conflict of interest to the point where she should be disqualified from the case. But she perjured herself, and now apparently the judge has hinted that she could face a gag order for a speech she gave at an

Atlanta church in January that he deemed legally legally improper. The time may well have arrived for an order preventing the state from mentioning the case in any public form to prevent prejudicial publicity, but that is not the motion presently before the court. During the speech, she invoked the race card without citing evidence of racial animus, criticized a Fulton County commissioner and so many others for criticizing her

decision to hire Wade, the guy she was sleeping with. McAfee states in these public and televised comments, the districts attorney complained that a Fulton County supervisor and so many others questioned her decision to higher Wade. When referencing when referring to her detractors throughout the speech, she frequently utilized the plural they. The state argues the speech was not named at any of the defendants in this case.

The judge rights may be so, but maybe not. Therein lies the danger of public comment by a prosecuting attorney, including a reference to so many others on the heels of defendant Roman's motion, which instigated the entire controversy. The district attorney left that question open for the public to consider. So you got that, and then you got the comments of former Acting US Attorney General Matthew Whittaker. He said, the judge cut the legs out from under the

prosecution's office in the case. Obviously the result is not what I think some people hope for. But this opinion is blistering as it relates to DA Willis and Wade and others. I mean, she was unprofessional, she lacked judgment. But the line that struck me, and this is something that only attorneys might pick out. The line that struck me, he said, an odor of mendacity remains. I mean that essentially says your office and you as a DA have no credibility with me as a judge. And I just think that

is, you know, well, essentially says that you're lying. We know you're lying, and we're not going to trust anything you say in this case from now on. That's a big deal. When McCallum asked Martha McCallum asked him, why do you think he didn't remove her from the case. Then he said, it's a high bar to remove not only a DA but the office as a whole. You need to show an actual conflict. He just didn't think the evidence was there. And that's where I circle back to.

But perjury, legally improper comments. Aside from perjury, this is just bizarre. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twelve cases of measles in Chicago. Wow, Grant Allen wearing some drip in there, now he's got That was quite the segue. I'm just looking at the it's twelve cases of me it's measles in Chicago. Yes, grand it's it's a it's it's sort of a modernized version of a leisure leisure suit Jack. Yeah, that was

kind of the goal, just something very lightweight for the warm months. So yeah, even though it's cooler today and cooler tomorrow and thirties tonight, I'm basically springtime committed. Now. So you're in, Yeah, I'm you're layer up? Yeah, well, layer up meaning you know it's going to be cold in the morning tomorrow. Well, yes, i'll have to. I'll probably still be going with light colors. I won't bring back the dark tweed

for one day. It's springtime. I'm, I'm, I'm, I've got the spring colors in so kind of a purple man light lavender, kind of reptile with the light on a tan jacket. If you're not paying attention, you'd think if you were watching the program, like we used to have the show on live on video, you could watch it online live. I think it was Facebook Live we were doing. You would swear you're looking at the nineteen seventies. Hey, Grant, It's the only thing missing on his jacket

are the little button things on the top shoulders. Yeah. Anyway, I mentioned that I was going to get back to the whole COVID thing. You know the name John Stockton, the guy who played in the NBA, Legend Hall of Famer, great NBA player. You remember what happened during COVID. He lost his season tickets. They were suspended because he's a Gonzaga guy and obviously he's a legend there because he went on to a Hall of Fame career

in the NBA. Well, his season tickets were suspended because of the mask mandate, he wouldn't comply. He has filed a lawsuit against Washington state officials, accusing them of stifling free speech for doctors who spoke out against all of the mandates. The mass the shots. He didn't believe in the shot either, and so he has filed suit. He said, I think it's pretty

simple. It's freedom. Even he'd get run out of today's NBA in a heartbeat, Michael, even though we talk about medical freedom, it's freedom and freedom to speak, and it's our first Amendment. It's really important to our government to the lives that we've come to love in the United States of America. So if the doctors can't speak, these brilliant people that we have in our culture can't speak when they know truths, we've now deprived. We're now

deprived of that opportunity to hear the wisdom they have to share. I think that's a big deal. And so he's taking on the Washington Medical Commission, which on its website said that it is our ethical duty to listen to our patients' concerns, course correct when people fall prey to falsehoods, and to help them make inform medical decisions that are guided by research and medical science, and so they It's so amazing to me that entities like this continue to erode the

public trust simply because they cannot admit they were wrong. And I will remain here as long as God gives me breath, and I have a job to remind you of how wrong the medical profession was. On this the twenty second anniversary of this radio program, I wish you a pleasant good morning. Hello everybody. Welcome to the Monday edition of The Morning Show. March eighteenth, twenty two years five, one hundred and seventeen shows and here we are still

at it. That's Grant Allen over there running the radio program, and I am your humble host. I am Preston Scott. Great to be with you this morning. This time of year, we focus on fundraising. A lot of fundraisers going on is the weather changes and a major event is coming up this Saturday for those of you in and around the Capital City region. But we'll get to that in a second. I am joined on the phone line by Jamie Brown, is executive director of a women's pregnancy center also Mosaic the

Belly Boutique. I love the names, Jamie. How are you I'm right, that's how are you? I'm terrific. Before we get to the fundraiser, I want to talk a little bit about the landscape here in Florida since the Supreme Court's decision. How has the day to day operation that you you have been part of now with a women's pregnancy center, how has it changed?

Well, that's this same question. After Dobbs came down. The vitriol from the pro abortion side has directed its anger or its energies towards the pregnancy care centers across the country. And I don't know if you recall the James Revenge movement that went on. They were marketed attacks against pregnancy centers, and we, unfortunately were in that group. So it's been interesting to watch the attacks, the anger coming at us. It's changed significantly since twenty twenty two.

How about the clients that walk in the door more less different, Well, that's a combination of two things that's happened. We're getting more clients, more of them are more abortion intended. After the social media attacks, Actually the clients' visits did fall off for a while, but now they're back, So we're back where we should be. The numbers we should be seen where

you see the biggest impact for what you do. You know, I mentioned the three different names here Mosaic Women's Pregnancy Center in the Belly Boutique, Well, explain the differences. Explain what each of those those properties facilities do. Well. Actually, there's a fourth one that we have just just brought under our umbrella. It's Making Miracles Group Home. It's a home for pregnant women

who are homeless. And so Deborah Harris has founded that, done a great job with that over the years, and she's now come under our umbrella and we're about to open a second home. But basically our campus location and our Mosaic location, Mosaic is located directly next door to the Megaplanned Parenthood here in Tallahassee that serves all of the southeastern part of the United States right the basically

the services are the same. We have pre pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, biblical counseling, we have at Mosaic STI testing, we have after abortion care, we have the Borsham Hill Reversal programs, astounting for men, birth mom support, and so on and so forth. The Belly Boutique is a material resource, material support for the moms who choose to carry in parent and would be economically disadvantaged for the most part. Jamie Brown with US, executive director Women's

Pregnancy Center. And you've heard the various outreach programs that fall underneath that umbrella. We come back, We're going to talk a little bit more about how they do what they do and how you can take part in the Walk for Life. It's coming up this Saturday. We'll give you all the details next ten minutes past the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. And this is the Preston Scott Show this Saturday, the Walk for Life at north

Side Community Center. More in a moment Jamie Brown, executive director of Women's Pregnancy Center. It's their second largest fundraiser of the year. It's so vitally important you try to find a way to take part or to support it. Jamie, I'm just curious what's most important that you think. You know, people listening to this program. Not only are they listening in the local area, not only are they listening across Florida, but we've got listeners across the

country. And I know that there will be people that will run across the situation where a young girl comes home and maybe confides and says to mom or dad, I'm pregnant. What's most important in those moments, in those days that follow, well, I would guess the most important thing would be that she she's looking at her parents or whoever she's confiding in for judgment or sign some judgment for. But what she needs is compassion and love and concern and

education. And so that's why pregnancies care centers are uniquely positioned to provide accurate information, not knee jerk reactions, and compassionate care. To give them good information, we give them ultrasounds to confirm pregnancies. I mean, there's just a lot of good information that the parents, or their college roommates or their best friends just for the most part, are not equipped to provide. So when I say to somebody, as I have over the years, don't react,

respond because response takes a little thought and some prayer and consideration. Reaction is usually right there on the surface. It's flesh, and it's usually wrong. Nine and a half times out of ten that's correct. And that's part of the counseling that we offer is that this is not a train. There's

coming down the tracks and you need to decide the next thirty seconds. This is a life and death decision, and so we encourage them to carefully consider all three of their choices and not make a quick decision because abortion, there's no redo on abortions. When we talk about the fundraiser that's coming up, I mentioned it's one of the big ones that you do every year. It's rain or shine, it's this Saturday. Tell us the details and what people

need to know. Well, as you said, it's our second largest fundraiser. A Our largest is our banquet that we have in the fall, and this is crucial for providing support to the ministry. The ministry has grown, God has grown us so much over the last ten years, and we need additional funds, increasing funds to fuel the ministry tanks every year. And our walk is just a fun fund raiser and so basically people bring their dogs and their bikes and their kids and they come out eight thirty on. It will

be this Saturday, eight thirdays registration. Nine o'clock is the walk and they walk two miles if they can. If they can't, they can, you know, walk whatever they can walk. They don't have to be in town to do it. They can walk. I have one person walk around a cruise ship deck and it's just a fun Sunday. And basically they would go to join Walkforlife dot com and they could register. They can show up without registering if they don't want to, but registering, they can set up their

own web page. They can and it's not too late to do this. We get a lot of fundraising the last week before the event and it's just easy to do. And this is what makes the fundraising successful is to walk and show support for life. And we have people across denominations across the Panhandle that come to this and we just have a good time. What kind of donation are you hoping for the registrants to provide to take part in the walk?

As far as monetary donation, yep, that can be anything. I mean, we have donations and twenty five dollars to literally the top ones are in the eight ten thousand dollars range. Nice, so every dollar, yeah, every dollar counts. Wonderful, Jamie, thanks for the time this morning. I wish you well this weekend and keep us keep us informed as to what's going on here. We'll do. Thank you, Preston, it's been a pleasure, my pleasure. Thank you so much. I appreciate what you

and your team do. Jamie in changing and saving lives. Sixteen minutes after the hour, and again it's this Saturday at the North Side Community Center, Registration eight thirty, walk at nine. Just come on, bring a few bucks, donate what you can and you can find out more again online. Sixteen past the hour. Do't to Joe Campson a little bit healthy expectations after the big stories in the press box. Next hour Scott Beacon. I've been

using his material now for a couple of years. One of the research supervisors of the radio program, Rob introduced me to the Bline and introduced me to Scott, and then I found out that Scott occasionally listens to the show, and so I reached out to him. I said, Hey, I'm going to talk about your most recent blog, which is one of my favorite topics in the entire world. Say or share what does it mean for people to

pay their fair share of taxes? You can have all the opinions you want, but the facts are the facts, and we'll talk about those facts next hour with Scott Beacon. Also give you a little snapshot of his background. Fascinating background and he's a meticulous researcher, number cruncher, which if you learn his background would will make perfect sense. Why so that's coming up next hour. Cannot wait. Oh, by the way, announcing a regular visit monthly

with the President of the James Madison Institute, doctor Bob McClure. He will be joining us on Tuesdays each month, beginning in April. And so we're just I don't know if you saw this, but the James Madison Institute was listed as the biggest winner of the legislative session. The priorities of the Conservative think the James Madison Institute the big winner, which means what we won.

We had some wins in the legislative session, and so we'll certainly talk about that next month with doctor McClure. Saw this story in the US News and World Report annual ranking of cities with the best quality of life, crime rate, quality of education, well being. However, that's defined the Commuter Index, quality and availability of healthcare, air Quality Index, and the FEMA National Risk Index, which is used to determine a metropolitan area's risk to natural hazards

and community risk factors. So your top ten cities. Would you be surprised to learn that Florida doesn't rank in the top ten? Florida does not have one city in the top ten. Well, if natural disasters factors into it, our hurricane season knocks all of our cities a bit lower. If that's their mathematical calculation, well just listen to this list and I'll get to number one. Last. Starting at number ten, Trenton, New Jersey. You're

kidding, Rochester, New York. Hartford, Connecticut. Checking in at number seven is green Bay, Wisconsin. Which we all love green Bay because of the packers, But what you need to know is Green Bay is one of the most illiberal communities on the planet, and it's a dog on shame it is. Vince Lombardi would be sick to his stomach at what's happened to Paula Dickson. Green Bay breaks my heart. Boston, Massachusetts, And now we get to the top five. Portland, Maine, San Jose, California,

Madison, Wisconsin. Boulder, Colorado checks in at number two, and number one is ann Arbor, Michigan. A bunch of leftist Yankees came up with that bunch of carely not one set in the sun Belt, not in Arizona, not in Texas, not in Florida where oh, by the way, you don't pay taxes, no personal income tax. What a yeah, crap list. It's like those are the most depressed, low down, nasty. Look, Boulder's beautiful, yeah, but what a bunch of lost people living

there. Not all of them, mind you, but bunch of them. You know what I hate though, is like when you go to a place like Boulder, or you go to a place like Portland, Maine. Yeah, they do keep their cities like like these these very kind of trendy liberal towns. Yeah, they keep their cities very clean like that. Yeah, they're they're hipping and they're cool for some population. That's not me, but they they like have to keep up that image. So there's a part of

me that well, no, that's a crap list. I'm not I'm trying to justify now. Yeah, yeah, that's that's stupid. Ann Arbor and Boulder named cities with the fast among the fastest growing populations of gen z Ers. No surprise there. The average Boulder home let me know how this works out for you, gen z The home value. The average Boulder home value is nine hundred and fifty eight thousand. Actually, I really like this article now, I just thought of it. Everyone needs to move there, go

leave. If all the Zoomers are moving to ann Arbor and Boulder, I'll have the South to myself. Hey, thank you. Yeah, let's look at it that way. Let's go through that list of places for illiberals to move. Yeah, and now we start thinking about it differently. And Texas, Arizona, Florida. Sweet. Yeah, leave us out of these lists

exactly. So move to ann Arbor, Michigan. Move to Boulder, Colorado, Madison, Wisconsin, San Jose, California, Portland, Maine, Boston, Maths, Green Bay, Wisconsin. That hurts the heart, It just does. Hartford, Connecticut, Rochester, New York, and Trenton, New Jersey. All right, just chuckle, folks, just chuckle. Thirty six minutes after the our twenty second anniversary show of the Morning Show with Preston Scott,

We're just doing what we do each and every day. Just try to present the best selection of stories, information, guests, things for you to think about. Don't have to agree with everything that we all say or believe. I don't have to agree with you. It's all fine on certain issues, I would quite candidly question. It's sort of think of it this way on some issues if you if you disagree, I'm just gonna look at you the way that I look at somebody driving with a Biden Harris bumper sticker.

I'm just gonna look with that kind of really wow, incredulous kind of hmm. I got to thinking about the old business card on the side of the car, on the window under the windshield wiper. It says, you know your car got vandalized. Someone slapped a Biden Harris sticker on there. That was your thank you. Yeah, yeah, I got it from someone. But in my youthful days when you could afford to be caught on cameras,

but doing things like that, you can't afford that any No. Yeah, times have also changed, twenty thirteen to twenty fifteen, someone could have laughed it off. Not so much anymore. Yeah, people pulled guns about stuff like that. Yeah, and at that time it was probably you know, I didn't have a weapon with me, yeah, for self protection. Sure, so I just avoid it now. Yeah, you know, there you go. Maturity. I on the other hand, and thinking about getting those

cards printed. Yeah, I've got to get home. I'm cycling the other way. Supreme Court to hear arguments in Biden's administration's censorship of social media, everything from the Biden Hunter Biden laptop to the twenty twenty election to the suppression

of the actual science during COVID. There's a lawsuit that the United States Supreme Court is going to hear that the Biden administration basically engaged in censorship by proxy, pressuring social media companies to either shadow ban outright ban to you know, to basically cause their posts to go down if not be completely censored. I was censored. I've been vindicated, But then again, I didn't need to be vindicated. I knew I was right because the science was on my side.

But anyway, then there's the Boeing whistleblower that was found dead. His friends are saying that he had told them that if he was if he was found dad, it wasn't suicide. Apparently John Barnett had enough going on around him that he was concerned that there might be an effort to take his life. His friends are saying he absolutely did not take his own life. And then Florida Governor Ron Desantus announced that Florida Fish and Wildlife stopped a boat filled

with twenty five illegals firearms drugs on February twenty ninth. They came from Haiti fleeing Haiti, likely being trafficked, and so those people were turned back over to the government, and of course that means they'd likely have been let back into the country, but that's a story for another day. Forty minutes after the hour, come back, Doctor Joe Camps joins us with some healthy expectations. Preston Scott, do or do not? There is no try on news

Radio one hundred point seven doufl forty one minutes after the hour. We try to have healthy expectations around here. You don't have them your lift the bar, raise them up. Joining us back to Joe Camp's good morning, serving, Good morning. How are you pressing? Terrific? You good? I'm doing fine. You know, Artificial intelligence seems to be the buzzword today and I did some research over the weeknd and it certainly has the potential to transform

healthcare and disrupt the field of medicine in significant ways. Now, the one thing that it is hopefully going to do is it's going to help us to be able to capture information and share information. I'm sure you've been to the office where the first thing you do after good morning is take this tablet and fill out all this information. So hopefully we'll get we'll get a better available

way to capture the data we need to work with. But one of the things that also I found very interested is that it's going to create personalized treatment plans based on a patient's agent lifestyle. It's going to be able to detect and analyze X rays and I'm really excited about that, identify risk factors from the patient's electronic health record, and certainly it's going to identify potential cancer by the diagnos of X ray image. And now, however, I still think

that there will be a place for physicians such as myself. The one thing that AI is unlikely to do will be to capture the human aspects of healthcare. As you might say, well, Joe, what is that. Well, that's the empathy, to compassion, to critical thinking, complex decision making. And so I was traveling this weekend and I was reminis and I said, well, it can't replace surgery, and I thought of out it, and I says, ah, sometimes decision making is real time. Different people

have different anomalies. Anatomies are different, so I think, hopefully my colleagues will be safe and I feel but certainly it's upon us and it's going to transfer. I'm sorry, it's gonna it's gonna basically change the way we do business. And I was skeptical initially, but now the more I read about it, I do believe that physicians and everybody in medicine much be prepared to take on new roads and active roles, and certainly they'll be expanded opportunities in

this field. But certainly I'm intrigued by it. At first, I sort of poo poo the whole idea. But the more I read and the more I see what's going on, I think we all should probably pay attention to what's happening around us. And so, well, let me ask you a couple a couple quotes since here, doctor camps Kay. Number one. You know, I think, like a lot of things technology, the Internet,

you know, awesome and evil all at once. Yeah, And I feel the same way about AI because it acquires its information based on whoever's programming it. Okay, correct, Now, AI in a country like the UK or Canada where they have socialized medicine could basically be advising or guiding somebody saying, well, it's not worth doing this because of all these other factors, ergo let that person die. And and so how do we avoid that from creeping

into the AI medical world in America. Well, I don't know if I have the answer to that, but if if you heard what I said, I said that, you know, I thought that the one area that it would not be able to do would be in the realm of empathy, compassion, and you know, thinking and complex decision making, because, for instance, you're not gonna a seven year old and one person and a seven year old and a different person to be radically different. It takes your decision making.

So I think that that's where physicians and nursing staff and other people will provide a critical component to the decision making. And I just don't see having us hook up to some kind of a machine and all of a sudden it spits out our decision. If that happens, I think we're all in trouble. So pressuring out I really don't think that we'll get to that point. But I truly do understand what you are asking me there. So it's very intriguing. I mean, it also is a little scary to me that we

might be more dependent on machines than humans. But certainly I think that will survive the human element of healthcare delivery. Thank you, doctor Camps. Talk again soon, okay, pressing, Thank you very much. Thank you, sir, doctor Joe Camps with us, I just remember or the immortal line from from the Terminator movies Skynet, the machines became self a well, we're so close to that machines, I mean autonomous war machines saying yeah, we'll

take care of this. Forty six forty seven minutes after the hour, alright, fifty two minutes past. Scott Beacon the Beeline Blog will be our guest in just a little bit, talking about not his most recent he has a brand new blog up today, but the one most recent to that, what does what does fair share mean? One of my favorite topics. I'll set the stage for that in just a minute. But Tyson Foods is now grand immediately bowed as the grandson of a farmer right. I've been very much influenced

by just that way of thinking that things. Typically we were a freer republic when the independent family farmer was able to stave off the pressures of big mega you know, conglomerates like Tyson. It's much better to have a broad kind of yeoman class, yeoman farmery kind of husbandry types. There are those that are boycotting Tyson. Tyson Foods. It has laid off thirteen hundred staff at an Iowa port plant, and it's offering job and lawyer packages to forty two

thousand potential asylum seekers. Now Tyson will say, and just being fair reading what Tyson is released, he said they hope to hire forty thousand asylum seekers and migrants entering the United States. They're very, very loyal, said human resources leader Garrett Dolan. They've been uprooted and what they want a stability. What they want is a sense of belonging. We would like to employ another forty two thousand if we could find them. That's eighty two thousand in total.

In recent days, there's been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company. We feel compelled to set the record straight. Tyson Food strongly opposed to is strongly opposed to illegal immigration. We led the way and participating in two major government programs to help empower to help employers combat unlawful employment,

e Verify, and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employees program. Tyson Foods employees one hundred and twenty thousand team members in the United States, all of whom are required to be legally authorized to work in this country. We have a long history of strong hiring practices, and anybody who is legally able is welcome to apply for open job listings. Last year, they closed six Chicken

processing facilities or announced it would be closing six permanently. And they're closing playans in Iowa, Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, So you have to wade through. I'm I'm not telling you to boycott. I'm you know, they're saying they're playing by the rules. And I would then say that if you don't like the rules, they need to be changed. And I think that we do a terrible job of enforcing employment guidelines on our major employers in

this country. There are certain industries that employee illegals left and right. There's certain employers that do the same, They pay them under the table. That happens in small towns, big towns, and everywhere in between. But this all starts at the southern and northern borders. And so I'm just I'm letting you know this is out there, this is what Tyson has to say. You judge for yourself what you think you need to do in response to it

all. When we come back, Scott Beacon, I once started a near fight at a rotary club when I asked, what does fair mean to you? I kid you not. Almost a brawl erupted. We'll talk about fair share with the writer, the founder of the b Line blog. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott five minutes after the hour. It's a third hour, and here we are. I'm celebrating our twenty second year of doing this silly little radio program, this Morning Show with Prestin, Scott and Preston.

That's Grant Allen running the show. Great to be with you and I'm thrilled to have with me this morning. Scott Beacon. He has practiced as an attorney CPA. He's been the officer with a couple fortune five hundred companies. I got to know him through his work writing a blog called the bee Line, and you can find his work and subscribe to it yourself by going to Bline blogger dot blogspot dot com, and Scott Beacon joins us right now.

Good morning, Scott, how are you morning, Preston. Glad to be here, especially a privilege to be here on your twenty second anniversary. Wond run you had it just worked out. I'm thrilled that we're still doing this show, but I'm even more thrilled that I've gotten to meet people like you over the year. Scott, we have a common friend, Rob Strano, who is a golf professional out in Destin, and I've had Rob on the program once or twice over the years, and he introduced me to the

b line. Before we talk about a recent blog that you wrote. How did this all start for you, because you've been blogging for a while now. Well, it started when I was working for one of those Fortune five hundred companies and I was given the responsibility to oversee corporate communications, marketing, advertising, etc. And part of that job this is about twelve years ago, I guess now, part of that job was the emergence of social media blogs, Twitter, etc. And I thought I had to learn a little

bit more about the area. And I'd always been interested in sharing articles and insights with regard to what was going on, and I thought maybe I had to jump in and learn a little bit about the blog space by writing my own blog as an efficient way to share some of my insights with friends and

family, and it just has gone from there. When I look at your bio, Scott, I see a guy who, by profession is a numbers cruncher, as someone who I would say details matter an awful lot, and you sort of let the chips fall where they may because that's the world you've lived in. Is that a fair assessment? Very fair? You know, I'm a data guy. I'm a fat guy. That's really you know,

kind of the basis upon which I view the world. And and I have another saying that I like to use in my blog is context is everything when assessing anything. And I guess what I see in the world today that's driven by headlines and one second sound bites is not enough people get context of what's really going on behind the issues. And well, that's what I try to provide in the blog's some context of the issues and really put the facts before

the opinions. You know, I've come around as I've aged and and I've realized, you know, for example, when I was younger, I reacted to things not a very good trade. It's not a very winsome trait. I also don't think it's it's really good for a forming opinion. I've learned to respond a little bit. That's why sometimes stories break and I don't necessarily talk about them, because there's just something inside of me that says there's more

to this. Let's give the a little bit of time to marinate for a little while. The topic that you've just touched on, though, is one that it's sort of the opposite. I have long held the idea that Americans really have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to the word fair and I mentioned before the break, I started a near fight at a rotary club meeting fifteen years ago when I just asked the members define fairness. And

I think it's interesting, how do you define the word fair? Well, it's hard to define fair without taking a step back and looking at the numbers with regard to what you're talking about it Specifically, we're talking about, you know, what is a fair share of income taxes? And we hear the narrative a lot, and you're going to hear it more and more during this coming election cycle, right, is the other not paying the fair share or

you're not paying your fair share? And yeah, if you look at the survey data, which I have, I'm a big believer, and look at survey data and poll data, you know, you'll see typically that everybody thinks that they're paying their fair share, but they think that everybody else is not paying their fair share. But it really comes in the beholder, and I can see why a fight almost started at a rotary club. He got a second. Scott. Of course, only some of us can be accurate when

we say that we're paying our fair share. The rest of you just don't understand. We're gonna get to those numbers. Scott Beacon with us again Bline blogger dot blogspot dot com. You'll be thrilled if you subscribe to the newsletters. They come out as he produces them, and you'll love them, and then you'll be ahead of the things we talk about here in the morning show. I guess to Scott Beacon, the Beeline is the blog we're talking about.

And a recent one came out late last week called fair Share. When I was privileged to get Scott's contact information, I said, Hey, I'm going to talk about this, and I'd love to talk about it with you since you provided the inspiration. So let me ask you this what poked you? I mean, is it the fact that we're in the election season and this is going to be a topic, or did something nudge you to do

some digging on this. No, I've been following this topic for a number of years, you know, going back to my days when I was a tax attorney and a CPA. You know, the IRS produces every year what they call statistics of income. It usually take them a couple of years to put everything together, so it was only the end of February that they came

out with the data for twenty twenty one tax returns. But I've been following this for decades really, you know, looking at these numbers, and so it's something that I have written probably over the years, probably five or six times in my blog about these statistics. And the most recent numbers came out

and it's it's pretty shocking when you look at it. I always like to when I get someone that likes to talk about, you know, the risk of not paying their fair share or whatever, and you go back to your question, pressing, well, what is the fair share? And you you say, what do you what do you think the top one percent should be

paying as part of their fair share? And you know, you might get numbers all they have to be paying, you know, twenty percent of the total, and then you, you know, you tell them what the actual number is, and usually shock goes over their face. Yeah, and it's a to me, it's not all that different from the same type of discussion that happens over the minimum wage. Well, if if it's going to be twenty dollars an hour, why not seventy five dollars an hour? And then

suddenly someone goes, well you can't do that. I'm going, well why, And then you have to start unpacking all of the foolishness of a mandated

minimum wage being the way it is. But when it comes to the fair share of personal taxes, what did the numbers show you, Well, in the most recent year, the top one percent of income earners, which would basically be those above seven hundred thousand dollars of income, in the year twenty twenty one, they paid forty six percent of all income taxes in the United States. And that's the highest fare by far. I mean, if you

go back, for example, of year two thousand. Let's go back about the time you started the show, they were paying thirty seven percent of the total tab. It's increased now to forty six percent of the total tab. The top five percent is now paying sixty six percent, the top ten percent seventy six percent, and the top fifty percent ninety eight percent, which means

the bottom fifty percent is only paying two percent. It immediately speaks to why our founders were so worried about a government that eventually handed a checkbook over where people were in essence able to live off the government exactly. And if you go back to the Constitution, the Constitution as written by the founders prohibited the imposition of direct taxes, which an income tax is a direct tax. It was only you know, through the sixteenth Amendment, I think it was that

we allowed an income tax to be imposed in the United States. So it was not in the original founder's view because exactly what you're saying, they were worried about how government could use direct taxes to really friends on my minority. But's really what the Constitution was all about. A majority right, but also minority right. You would not have a majority in frenzy on the rights of a minority. Scott Beacon is with me. We're gonna keep talking. We

got a few more minutes left. I can't encourage it enough. Bline Blogger dot blogspot dot com subscribe piece of cake back with Scott Moore here on the Morning show, Scott Beacon writes the B Line blog it's bline blogger dot blogspot dot com, and our guests were talking about a piece he did recently called fair share question mark. And if you listen to the show for very long, you know that I've talked about this for twenty two years. It's it's

been a bone of contention for me. And so when I raise it at a rotary club meeting, a near fight breaks out because you've got the people that are very liberal and left in the room that just think that big business and wealthy people ought to pay more. And and you know, Scott, businesses never pay taxes. They pass it on to consumers. And people don't

seem to understand where this all leads. What does the data say to you when it's all said and done in the in the macro, Well, you know, one thing I think that needs to be mentioned is that there's no question over the last you know, forty years that the share that the one percent has as the top one percent has also increased, you know, compared to nineteen eighty. And a lot of people say, why is that the case? And part of the reason is is the way the economy has changed

and the way the tax code has changed. You know, when I first started practicing as a CPA, a tax attorney, you know, the top marginal rate was seventy percent, and at that point in time, you know, many people in corporated because the top corporate rate was forty eight percent, and so the rich would have all their money in corporations and they wouldn't have

it exposed to individual income taxes because it didn't make much sense. Well, as the marginal rate came down, that forced people more to go to partnerships subest corporations so they would not be double tax but that then exposed their income to individual income taxes. So a big reason that the one percent amount that the income as the one percent has has gone up is that has gone into

individual tax returns. And the other thing that's gone on is technology. You know, back in nineteen eighty you had workers, auto workers, steel workers, et cetera. The manufacturing sector was still robust in this country, and it took a lot of workers, to example, to produce a manufactured product.

As the technology advanced to where we are today, you know, seven or eight guys could sit around and do a game, a video game, and they can make millions of dollars that goes into income and the one percent. So you've had a fundamental shift with regard to how some of this has worked so that that has an effect. So there's no question that the income

share of the one percent has increased. But the question they really have to look at as a society and as a country is, you know, we're one point nine million at one point nine trillion dollar deficit this year, you know, and we're borrowing and borrowing and borrowing, and we borrowed eleven trillion dollars in the last four years. Now, how do we fix this? How do we have any semblance? And it certainly cannot be done by taxing

the one percent. It's not going to happen. And if you look at what's happened in Europe with their social systems, you know, the tax burden is much much greater on the middle class and the lower class in those countries than it is in the United States. So we're going to have to decide in this country how we're going to get this financial house and order. Is it going? I mean, it has to involve at some point government's going

to have to cut it's spending. But will they Well you would think they were going to have to, but to this point it just seems to accelerate. And this goes to another point that I've made time and time again in the pages, is you have to understand politicians, elected representatives, Republicans or Democrats, their power really comes from taking dollars from one person and giving it

to another. Right that aeroids probably with Democrats, but the same thing exists with Republicans with ear marks, etc. That's the nature of the beast. They don't have any power unless they have your tax dollars that they can give to somebody else. That's the name of the game. So it's very hard to break that. And yeah, I'm not real optimistic when I look at the history where it's gone that we can go another direction. It's going to

be very, very difficult. But the voters are ultimately or the ones that are going to have to determine where it goes because politicians will eventually listen to the voters. I feel like we are in the largest ship on the ocean with the smallest rudder ever made way to put it. Scott, thank you for the work you do. I appreciate the blog very much, and I appreciate our new friendship here on the program. I look forward to having you

back congratula license again on the twenty two years. Thank you, sir, Scott beacon with us this morning and again. Bline blogger dot blogspot dot com is where you can subscribe it caution nothing and what you get you can't put a price on. How's that for a great deal? There you go, twenty second anniversary offer here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You subscribe today and it's not gonna cost you a thing. Bline Blogger dot blogspot dot

com. Twenty seven past the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, it's our twenty second anniversary around here. Go figure huh. Thank you. Just a heartfelt thank you to all of you who have made this such a joy. Best job there is getting to do what I get to do, getting to work with Grant, getting to meet people like Scott

Beacon. The networking that happens on this program. You know, it was basically a listener of this show that created the highway that led us to the office of US Senator Tommy Tubberville. I mean, it just it's crazy, you know, the Florida connections. You know, we're in Florida, We're in the state capitol. It's kind of how we roll. But the rest, it's all you. You make this all possible. And so just a sincere thank you. I have no plans on riding off into the sunset.

I love what I do, and I just thank you very much for making this so much, so much fun. And I hope that segments like those three segments with Scott arm you with information that makes a difference in the conversations that you have with other people. You've got I told Scott and the break You've got to take ownership the only way minds and hearts get changed. It's as much as I wish the GOP would message better and be better, it's

from people just talking to people. It's investing in your relationships and your friendships and speaking truth. And the data just is it just is what it is. Big stories in the press box brought to you by Restore Carpet Karen Tyle. Not a suicide. The whistleblower John Barnett, who worked for Boeing for three decades, warned a friend before being found dead that if he's found dead, it's not suicide. Now, that's either a guy that really wanted to

dump some some gasoline on the fire of Boeing, right. I mean, if he says, screw it, this is what I'm telling every everybody. But I'm gonna off myself and make it look like Boeing did it. I'm gonna really make their life miserable. They messed with the wrong whatever. I don't believe that. I just don't. Uh. The friends say no, he loved his family, he had much to live for. I mean,

the dude's my age. I'm not checking out. I look, I look ahead, and I'm thinking, I've got all kinds of of life to live. It's up to God when when that stops. This is a real, real important story. Boeing is a massive subcontractor for the United States of Defense, the United States Defense Department. I should say that's one big story.

Another big story. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments today on the Biden administration's censorship by proxy, leveraging exerting pressure on social media companies about the twenty twenty election. Prior to the twenty twenty election, with a Hunter Biden laptop scandal, that is a thing, COVID mandates, vaccines, masks, all of it. The federal government became the de facto ministry of truth. They would decide what it is and no one else. Supreme Court's going to hear

those arguments. And Florida Governor A. Round De Santis announced Friday that Florida Fish and Wildlife captured a boat entering Florida with twenty five illegal Haitian immigrants. Boat had firearms, drugs, looked everything like a criminal cartel movement. Thank you, Governor. Thank you men and women with Florida Fish and Wildlife for doing what the federal government's supposed to be doing. Thank you for all of you in the Coast Guard that want to do your job. Thank you for

wanting to do it. Forty minutes after the hour, it's March madness and I'm mad. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Forty two minutes passed. I can't say that if given the opportunity to speak into the Republican Party, the ear of Donald Trump, institutions like the nc doublea that I'd be able to fix everything, but I'd be able to fix a lot. It's March madness, and I get mad every year because they have it backwards. Now, let's set aside the whole gender thing for just a second. Let's

just look at the teams that make it to the tournament. The NCUBA has it wrong. They've always had it wrong. They've made it so that the winner of the conference tournament gets the automatic berth to the NCUBA postseason tournament. They do it with the men, and they do it with the women, and then they pick at large teams. Sadly, what happens to the smaller conferences because there's far more basketball programs than there are say, football programs,

roughly three to three and a half times as many. And so what happens is a team wins the conference, which means what they play twenty games, give or take maybe more conference games. That is a body of work, and the winner of the conference title is oftentimes left out of the tournament because they didn't win their tournament title. Well, they just beat everybody and won the conference the regular season title. The NCAA should change this completely where the

conference regular season title winner gets the automatic berth. Then what you do is you play the tournaments and the team that has a losing record comes out of nowhere wouldn't be in the tournament except for the fact that they won the conference tournament. Those conference tournament winners go into a pool. Those are your at

large considerations. Those are the teams that can be picked if not only did they For example, a team that got hot at the end of the year and has a fourteen and twenty three record should not be in the NCAA Tournament. They're ten and twenty five, but they won their conference tournament. They got hot at the end. They shouldn't be in the NCAA Tournament. They should be rewarded for winning their conference title by maybe being put in the niit

as a consolation prize. And that's it. You still should pick the teams

that deserve to go, and those are your conference regular season winners. And so as much as I love this event, as much as I looked forward to when I was a kid, I would play hooky on the Thursday and Friday, of the NCAA Tournament every year the first two days because i'd and it wasn't always sixty four teams, but those days were filled with basketball and I would watch all day long because I lived in the West, and so it started in the morning about nine am and it lasted till I went to

bed. It was brilliant. I'll still pay attention, but the wrong teams are in the tournament, not all of them, but enough that it matters there. I feel just a little bit better. Tomorrow we'll do it all over again. We'll have a manly minute. Florida Man, got a Florida man story, and we're beating the bushes on a couple of guests. We're chasing down. We'll see, uh see, I see what happens. But anyway, there's no no shortage of things going on. It's uh, isn't

it Primary day in Florida tomorrow? Yeah, we vote tomorrow if you're a if you're a Republican, which I completely forgot about. Yeah, there's that snuck up Ohio. I think there's voting in Ohio as well. Uh tomorrow. And the only reason I remembered is because you drive around town. I saw all the precinct signs and I'm like, oh wait, yeah, we vote tomorrow. Yep, yep, yep, yep. This little story. Python farming could be one of the most sustainable sources of meat in the world,

according to a news study. Oh good lord, so hold on, ABC News. I'll let you continue before I ask. My python produces large slabs of white meat similar to chicken. Of course, isn't everything Scientists learning more. They say it's more sustainable, and of course it is less carbon

intensive. Pythons are. They say that pythons because they are so good at converting the food that they consume i e. Dear dogs, other large critters, an occasional human that they're going to go there, that they are more sustainable during you know, disruptions like COVID. That's what they're saying. They're saying that this could be the way to go. And plus, female python, as we know here in Florida can lay fifty to one hundred eggs in

one year. A pig raised for pork produces twenty two to twenty seven piglets. No comparison, No comparison. Listen, I don't doubt the realities of that, But what are the ecological like you have one, you know, bad python farms? Yeah, what you have one bad? You know? A tree falls over the python farm building and then boom it's like you mean like Hurricane Andrew, Yeah, nineteen ninety whatever it was, and now the everglader gone. But see, I have a solution. Okay, I say,
