How do we get here? How in the world did we get to Thursday already? Oh, I thought you were going to say, how we got here? I said, I drove to work this morning, Grant Allen, Ladies and gentlemen early and often chiming in and yeah, just this week. Well, let me back up a second. I walked into a story yesterday
where we just so happened to have a lot of listeners. That's kind of fun, by the way, to walk into a place where I know that people are going to be going, you know, when you've said something about and he just said, and I'm cleaning this up, he said, we are just in the midst of a crap storm of bad news. It's like, right, So we push away the best we can. At different times in the show, try to give you some other things to noodle on, and we ease into our day. The best way to start any day is
with God's word. Huh, huh, huh. We've been in Ephesian six. We started with verse twelve. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil. In the heavenly places we added yesterday. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the evil We may be able to withstand in the evil
day. And having done all to stand firm today we get to verse fourteen. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth. The belt of truth is basing your life on things that do not move, that are truths. Those are all found in God and your breastplate of righteousness. Well, what does scripture tell us about our righteousness? Uh? Yeah, we don't have
much. It's his filthy rags. So where do we find righteousness in Christ? Christ is our source of righteousness, doesn't come from us. The best day you and I have, we still fall short. But Jesus paid the price for our shortcomings. And so when you take up the whole armor of God, you stand having fastened the belt of truth the imagery. You cannot lose this. Paul wrote this observing the Roman armor, which we'll get to
more completely tomorrow, and the idea of just standing. Things pushing hitting, But you're standing, and it starts with truth, and it starts with righteousness, and those two things are found in God and God alone. Ten minutes after the hour, take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac. In fact, there's a there's a really cool story of history dealing with America that we're
going to share in a few minutes. Lead Research Assistant of The Morning Show, knowing my love of the history of our founding and my love of the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, sent me a little news from the Museum of the American Revolution. So we'll get to that and start to unpack the day's stories, the news, everything that you need to talk about, should be talking about, will be talking about. That's going to be part
of the show today. We've got Steve Stewart joining us from Tallahasse Reports doctor Steve Steverson, and next out in the third hour, Matt Staver from Liberty Council. So we got a busy show stick around. It's the Morning Show. The Morning Show with Preston Scott opening up the pages of the American Patriots Almanac for April fourth, eighteen forty one, President William Henry Harrison dies of pneumonia one month after his inauguration. Boy that stinks. You just take over
and you're gone. Eighteen fifty nine years later, the city of Los Angeles is incorporated. Wow, I don't know why. I guess I just didn't. I didn't imagine that Los Angeles was incorporated in that early eighteen fifty I don't know. Eighteen eighty seven, Susannah M. Salter of Argonia, Kansas becomes the first woman elected mayor of an American town. You imagine how radical that was for that time. Was she married? I should look that up.
If she was married. I wonder what her husband thought when she said, I'm going to run for mayor. No, you're not woman. Excuse me, I'm sorry. Nineteen forty nine, United States and eleven other Western nations signed a treaty creating the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, otherwise known as NATO. And it was on this day, this evening in nineteen sixty eight. I remember, I remember the news. I remember the interruptions of the programming.
Reverend Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated the age of thirty nine in Memphis. What I did not know? And now look, there are all kinds of stories on you know, the shooter and whether or not he really was the shooter. There's no doubt in my mind that the government played a role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Personally, I feel as though the government played a role in the assassination of doctor King. I'm not so
certain about Robert Kennedy. But what I did not know is there's a memorial plaque at the Lorraine Hotel the side of the assassination. It quotes Genesis thirty seven, nineteen through twenty. It reads, they said to one another, behold, here cometh the dreamer. Let us slay him, and we shall see what becomes of his dreams. That's that's a pretty compelling piece of scripture as it relates to doctor King when you consider his I have a dream speech.
Sixteen minutes past, come back an amazing discovery that has been turned over to a museum. All right, twenty one past the hour. I got a road trip idea for you today. Speaking of years ago, we took some of the kiddos on a history trip and we went to a lot of places that I would not normally go because they're just deliberal hubs. And yeah, but the draw of tapping into touching, connecting with our country's founding was
too strong to pass up the trip I've chronicled in my blog. Likely the company took the photos down because they couldn't account for them when they were my photos. But it's like whatever. We have an awesome company, but sometimes they do weird things. One of our stops was the Museum of the American Revolution. It is It is in Philadelphia, and they have now obtained a new, rare, backup, rare, newly discovered eyewitness sketch of the Continental
Army and they know the day it happened. And that's crazy. It's an eyewitness pen and ink sketch depicting the Continental Army and camp followers marching through Philadelphia on August twenty fifth, seventeen seventy seven. It had never been documented or published by historians. It's been donated to the Museum of the American Revolution. It's the first sketch of wartime depiction of North Carolina troops known to exist,
only second known depiction of female camp followers of the Continental Army. Now that's an interesting little side story. The sketch shows two soldiers marching along an open sided wagon, as well as a commissioned officer a wagon driver mounted on horseback. Inside the wagon sit two women, one holding an infant, amongst various equipment and baggage of the brigade. Two men are also depicted riding on the
back of the wagon. The inclusion of female camp followers who shared life on campaign with enlisted husbands and fathers, is supported by supporting the troops by sewing, doing laundry, selling food, and it also is in direct defiance of known regulations at the time of how women following the army could use wagons. Washington brought up the issue of women and children slowing down as troops, calling them quote a clog upon every movement, but in North Carolina they did it
anyway. And then there's another sketch. Two male figures, one brandishing a sword, another engaging in a fistfight, and it's almost like it's it's almost like two or three or four different cells of a comic of a cartoon, because it shows like the guy in a fistfight, just him by himself, starting to throw a punch, and then later the finish of the punch, the guy brandishing sword, pulling the sword, and then giving the aha.
And it's these are just fascinating drawings. They were able to figure out who it was that did the drawing. Pierre Eugene dus Semeterere, Swiss born collector artist settled in Philadelphia in seventeen seventy four. Now known for documenting the rising American Revolution as it happened, DUIs Cimetire went on to create from life profile
portraits of prominent revolutionary leaders, including Washington. He is the one who suggested the motto e plurbus unim so the guy who did the sketches, the guy that came up with e plurbus unim it's it's amazing. His design for the Great Seal was rejected, but they kept the motto. In seventeen eighty two, we founded the first museum in the United States that was open to the public, and this was the guy who drew the drawings. And now they
are in the possession of the Museum of the American Revolution. That is so cool. So many wonderful highlights of that trip. I'm sure we'll share more twenty seven minutes past. Let's get to the big stories in the press box next. There's a bunch of them, so stick around. Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Big Stories in the press Box, brought to you by Grove of Creative marketing and digital expertise. Do not
read this as overtly good news, though it will sound like it. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is ahead of Biden in six of the seven quote battleground states. I would describe them as the states that cheated Trump the last time. Even with third party candidates factored in, Trump leads by two to eight percentage points, depending on what state you're talking about. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina. OMG. Would
be my answer to all of this. How is it possible that Biden is pulling that closely? How? I know the answer, You know the answers. You don't have to email me on that one. It's we have that many people that are massacres. They just want to punish themselves over and over and over for some set of sins they've committed. I guess it's incredible. No, really, one has to take leave of their senses to want Joe Biden back in office. I would have trouble carrying on a conversation. I'm
just being just totally transparent with you. I would have trouble carrying on a conversation with somebody that I knew voted for Joe Biden again. I would feel the need to get them mental health professionals in their life. They need an intervention. Health officials in Texas have reported a case of bird flu in a person who had been in contact with dairy cows. A weird thing has happened in Texas, Kansas, and Michigan. Bird flu has been found in dairy
cows. The virus has been known to infect a variety of animal species globally since twenty twenty. Hmm, you don't say really twenty twenty huh. Forgive me if I get just a bit frosty when thinking about twenty twenty and a man made virus being hatched upon the world that, oh, by the way, jumps back and forth between animals and humans and is a coronavirus, thus
cannot be vaccinated against. Forgive me out if you saw this. Tuesday, Democrat governor of Oregon, Governor Tina Kotec signed legislation to recriminalize drug possession, reversing Measure one ten, which fifty eight percent of the voters approved in twenty twenty. By August, fifty six percent of Oregon citizens disapproved after a major uptick in overdose deaths and addiction. This is just they decriminalized hard drugs and
now they're recriminalizing them. That didn't take long. Good luck with that. UPS now the primary air cargo provider for the United States Postal Service. The current contract with FedEx is expiring late September, and they will then be with UPS for a minimum of five and a half years. FEDX will continue to provide air transport services domestically and to Puerto Rico until the contract expires the end
of September. UPS contract takes over the next day. UPS. By the way, UPS years ago was experimenting with pilotless planes, just saying and demand for evs slows even Tesla's No Way. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA, I told you I noticed back in the late summer early fall, how the ads for evs started to diminish.
Manufacturers are in a tough spot because they've got all the vehicles they got to sell them, but they gotta make money, so they got to sell cars and trucks and SUVs people want to buy. Even Tesla's sales are down down nearly nine percent from the same time period previous year. You might remember, Tesla even cut its price is by twenty grand last year. So far,
the company stock has dropped more than thirty percent. Investors are selling off shares over the uncertainty of the future of the v the evs and I get it. Anybody with an ounce of common sense again, and I know that that's a drum we just keep beating, can understand. It's not there. The tech is not there. I don't think it will ever be there for us to convert to electric vehicles. We're not gonna convert to solar vehicles because all
of this is dependent on things that are toxic. They they are they are, they get reused or used and cannot be reused. The they where you're gonna put them. We're gonna put all the batteries where you're gonna How are you gonna replace all the batteries? How are you gonna afford all of it? I just we can't power it. I I'm so frustrated with people. Okay, moving on, this is a scary story. National Review. You ever heard of a doctor Ethan hame me either. Last spring, he became
a whistleblower. He's a surgeon. Do you know of any surgeons that aren't making a good living? I don't. Here's why that matters surgeons because of the cost of their schooling. And I mean you would hope, right, I mean, they're highly trained. You don't want someone who's a surgeon that's not most surgeons are. They're they're good at what they do. He became
a whistleblower. He exposed that Texas Children's Hospital, despite announcing the end of its sex change procedures, secretly continued performing transgender surgeries and treatments on miners. He has been targeted by the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services. The Biden administration's going after him for blowing the whistle on trans procedures at Texas Children's Hospital. They were supposed to stop, they didn't. This is significant,
obviously, the low hanging fruit. It's significant because they're targeting whistleblower who's supposed to be protected. Whistleblowers, by law, are protected. He's not being protected. The Department of Justice should be the ones defending and protecting him. It's not it's targeting him. Here's the other part of this story, though, don't be so certain when hospitals do the about face publicly. We're
not doing these procedures anymore. Oh, don't be so sure. Why because, as we learned at a lecture at Vanderbilt University, it is a huge source of money fallen society. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven DOUBLEUFLA or on NewsRadio double UFLA. Panama City dot Com friend of the radio program just reminded me of a story. I saw this a couple of days ago. Trump once due make I think it's November
fifth, Christian Visibility Day. I saw that. I love that guy. Yeah, wait, so we don't want to eat that. Oh come on, it's a joke. It's funny. He's intentionally trolling to get a rise. Oh no, he's not intentionally trolling. He he would, He'll do it, and that would be amazing. Yeah, I, oh, come on, come on, don't. I'm not down with that. We don't need a Christian visibility day. We're supposed to be visible year round. I just I don't want to be one of that crowd. That needs a day.
I don't want to be part of that. I don't think I know where you're coming well, but that's the reality. It doesn't matter what the point is. It's the reality of what happens, and the reality is you become. It's like a Jesus Christ day. Let's just make him one of the guys out there that people want to And I know what Trump's doing. I get it, I get it. I just I don't want to be part of that. I don't want a day. I don't need a day.
I'm not one of those precious little snowflakes out there that needs a day or a month of special attention. I don't need it. I don't want it. I don't want to play to that. But I know that's something you're just dying over. I get it. I get it. Now here's something that I hope we can't agree on. I had a listener send this note about the viability issue that for the justices with this Supreme Court just whiffed on and fellas. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You took leave
of your legal senses. You just did. You got bullied by whatever. I don't know if it's your conscience, uh, and being worried that you'll be called that typical misgendered you know, cisgendered whatever, misogynist, I don't know. Whatever he said, we need to name it after Kaylee Anthony. Kaylee Anthony was two years old. I disagree with the Kaylee Anthony thing, but it sparked an idea. See in the if I say Kaylee Anthony,
most people think her mom murdered her. That's what most people think. And most people, though they they understand the argument of pro life is that babies are murdered in the womb, that it's not the safest place for a baby. It's perhaps the most dangerous place for a baby to be in a mother's womb. But most people don't see Kaylee Anthony in that light because she was, in the minds of many murdered by her mom. Doesn't matter whether mom
was exonerated of it. All the evidence points to it. Okay, but it brought the idea. I think we need to go ahead and go with the Jaalen Candelario abortion amendment. Here's why I say Jalen Candelario, and you go, who huh. See, people have a pre formed idea on Kaylee Anthony, especially here in Florida, Jalen Candelario not so much. And then you get to explain it. That's the little sixteen month old girl that was left alone for ten days while her mom went on a vacation. She was
left alone for ten days while her mom went on a vacation. Here's why this matters. The little girl died. And so we remind people by using Jalen Candelorio's name Candelario, that the viability argument is ridiculous because children aren't viable until they're three, four five years old. If then, so when people ask about this, I recommend you say the jayl In Candelario abortion amendment that will be voted on and point out the ridiculousness of it all. Here we
go, second hour, Thursday Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Grant Allen. I'm Preston and this see that? See what I did there? Little professional layout. This is Steve Stewart of Talash Reports. He's the executive editor website talasher Reports dot com. Hello, my friend, good morning, how are you well. I'm doing okay. I start with some good news. It'll deteriorate after that. Let's start high and go low. Go ahead. Yeah, so you know, watching the local econdomy, we track a lot
of different numbers. Looked at the airport numbers for February and I had to actually stop after we did our chart and call to make sure that the numbers were correct. This right, and so twenty two percent increase in traffic when you compare it to passenger traffic when you compare it to last February. And
so we saw those numbers. And as you know, recent this year, Jeb Bluke showed up as a low cost carrier beginning to provide service here in TAAs Who in Tallahassee, And you know that's in addition to American Airline Delta. And I think spirit is there as you can see silver silver, I'm sorry, silver always. And so I talked to David Pollard at the airport and you know, he was giddy. He's like, this is working,
you know, just the way it's supposed to be working. What is working the bringing in the low cost carrier, okay, which provides competition to American Delta. If you look at Americans traffic is if you compare it to last February is up significantly. And he thinks that, and I did some research, you know, national research. This is what happens when low cost carriers come in. It provides more competition. Rates start coming down a little bit,
more people are flying, and a twenty two percent increase. I didn't check, but I can't. I haven't seen that in a while. And if you look at the broad if you look at the overall trends, which is in the graph below there, you can see that, you know, the recovery from the post COVID times happened and then it sort of flattened out.
But we're starting to see an increase again. And obviously, you know, the goal is to get to a million passengers in a year, which was they had reached the Tali's airport had reached that before the Great Recession. Obviously it fell off and they started recovering again, and then COVID. So here we go again and again. This is something that the director is excited
about. He thinks that they're in the right direction and hopefully, you know, they can get another when other carriers see what's going on here, maybe this will have an impact. Now one month doesn't make a well trip, but you can see the trend. No doubt about it. But I also think back to previous efforts, and it seems as though that these new carriers eventually don't sustain the passenger loads and then pull out exactly. So that's that's look. You want to see this and then you say, okay, how
long can this? You know, is this something that's going to take root and move in? Look, sessions over summer is a is a bad economic time and time I see because there's a lot of different things, you know, with the students, and not a lot of travel right exactly, So we'll see, we'll see what happens in comparison to last year. Now, moving on the jobs, this is another thing jobs, and when you start looking at the numbers of the jobs, it's tough to look at a month
a month. It is really better to look at trends. But I started to get worried because we weren't seeing numbers that sort of reflected what was happening out at the Amazon fulfillment center. They've added fourteen hundred jobs. Now, understanding Leon County, you're talking about one hundred and sixty one hundred and fifty five thousand people working in a given month, So one thousand adding fourteen hundred jobs is a big deal, but it's only one percent of the total workforce,
so you're not going to see like a spike. But what we see now is in February March, they go back and revise the numbers. They look at, you know, maybe where they made mistakes on trying to get a read on a monthly basis. And we're starting to see now where the job numbers are being sustained in months that previously they had declined. And that's
January and February, and so I call that the Amazon effect. It'll play out over the next three or four months because what you'll be able to see is comparing it to the last two years when you see months that normally drop, is it staying higher than it would normally go down? And I think we're starting to see that, yeah, but we'll continue to follow it. What's good about that is it diversifies the local economy outside the government and education
sectors big time. Another thing to consider is that there's some people that are working in Jefferson County and Gats County that don't show up in the LEON numbers either. That's a good point. Steve Stewart with US ten passed the hour. More to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott, the executive editor Talent has who reports Steve Stewart with us. So you say you feel like a civilian in a park with the
birds above. Yes, all right. Look, we started looking at this Commissioner Porter stuff. It all started when she signed this resolution, you know, with the palacedind in Israeli conflict, which was way out of the lane, right, And we found that and it found out that it was being driven by this group Local Progress, which is going to be I'm telling you this is going to be in the news for the next six months because got
some hints of other people starting. Other media outlets are now starting to look at this. But what it led to was travel, and it led to who's pay for the travel? And then it led to well, the citizens were paying for her to go to these partisan events, right, Progressive Governance Academy. I mean, it's like a boot camp for progressives. And nowhere was she talking about this, but we found it because of the travel records
and the citizens were paying for it. But then we found out wait a minute, not only were the citizens pay for it or third party's paying for it, which is a no no. You've got to at least disclose that you're being a third party is paying you for something. It's a gift, a gift. And if you go on the talents telegov dot go on website, there's a place there where you they turn in gift of financial disclosure. I took. You know, I was given one hundred and twenty five dollars
ticket to attend this conference. And you'll see Diane Williams Cox mayor daily Curtis Richardson, they've filed gift disclosures, you know when they've received these these things. These are all incidentals, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars whatever. But we're seeing this Commission reporter is being real. She won't tell us who's paid
for it. I'm assuming that when the city pays for the airport, the airplane ticket to get to a location, and there's no and there's no hotel bill, and you go around and look at local progress is paying the hotel bills for other local officials to come to these progressive of academies, that becomes
an issue. Well, she won't answer any questions about it. And so Ben Willcox, who is the head of Integrity Florida, an ethics advocate, looked at the information we had and went on the record and said, yeah, she needs to explain this one way or another. Nothing. No other media outlets are asking her questions. And so then what this does is you start, wait a minute, if she's a little loose with how she's spending money and reporting things and then stonewalling about it, let's take a little deeper
dive here. So we find out that she paid twelve hundred dollars of taxpayer money to a group called she Codes, which is a it's a company that provides coding training for people who want to get into a new career and theocus on women. Do you know she Codes? So why would we be paying for that as a she's a city commissioner, she's paid by the taxpayers to represent the city part time, and we're paying for her to get training for another job. Exactly. That makes no sense. And so we have asked
for wait a minute, who when did you do the training? You know, who was involved with the training, How did the training you know help you out with your with your job, and how does it benefit taxpayers? Right? And so the thing about this is that there's a couple of things here starts to add up. Clearly, the trips are a problem because what's going on is she's not talking about this group. You can go over her social media, which is a huge red fly. It's a red flag because
the group was pushed far left. I mean, you know they they celebrate once when you remove school resource offices because they don't want law enforcement, you know, having an impact on education. They celebrated in Oakland when when one of their members was able to transfer fifteen million dollars from the police budget. You know this a couple of years ago, and we talked about this. Kevin Newsom just had to send in one hundred and twenty California Highway patrol went
into Oakland because of crime. This is the kind of stuff and nobody's talking about it. And let me let me just intercede here for a second and just say to all of you listening that are out there, that you make it your job to defend Jack and Jeremy. What would you be doing if a elected official locally we're being paid to go to SEAPAC conferences and conventions and workshops and stonewalled on it, and we're building the taxpayers. What would you
be saying? Well, And the point on this is that Lori Cox with the school board went to a education summit put on by Ron De Santis and the Progressives made a big deal about it. I called her, said who paid for this? She says, I did. No tax dollars were used. And so the fact that the answered question right, and the fact that there's no other media outlets here looking into this race, I mean, well, look, it's what we do. But it's just mind boggling. Well,
it's actually par for the course. And that's exactly what happens here. The local media running cover because they want to be friends with all of these people. You can't be friends and be a good reporter with the people that you've charged with reporting on sixteen minutes after the hour, More to come with Steve Stewart Tallahassee Reports dot com. It's the only place you're going to get
the truth. Taking advantage of every moment with the executive editor of Tallassei Report, Steve Stewart and Steven Little tag on to what we were talking about. Yes, so you know, in the media world, you don't like to attack other media outlets, but part of the process in the media world is to say, look, this article is either incomplete. It's called advancing a story. Say another media outlet breaks the story and you say, well, I got a little something and add to that, so you cite them and
you advance it. The other thing is sometimes they just do things that aren't right. You call them out and maybe they acknowledge it. They have to defend themselves. Remember the story where Andrew Gill in the city was paying a local mediau at ten grand to publish stories. We wrote about that. It became a big journalist back and forth, you know, with Lucy Morgan weighing in. You know this is not right, so it's holding you accountable, and the same thing happens with me. I mean, people, how can
you write and not write this story? How can you write this story? What we don't do is try to silence people, and you don't want to. I've never said that we don't need the talalised democrat. It's just that I disagree sometimes with their coverage or they get stories wrong. Well, we started looking into Jack Porter. You know the progressives four years ago when they ran they you know they would. They advertised in Talents reports they wanted to
talk to me and give me information. But now when they're elected and you start trying to hold them accountable, they're really nasty. Well, of course, it always is personal because facts don't float right and to the point to where I mean, they are doing things that I haven't seen done in years, you know, in terms of threatening out you know, trying to financially hurt Talassa reports, Okay, which you know you think if they've been around
long enough, all that does is heal me. It just helped, right, because it tells you what you're over the target. But this Porter story is the beginning of that because you can tell the reaction. And I again, and we'll end on this. I just I cannot believe that other local media outlets are not asking questions about this. And we'll see maybe that'll start to happen. We're going to continue to dig and we've got some other things that I talked to you about it to break that. We're trying to get
some documents to make sure we have the right information. But we'll break that story in the next time. And that's and that's what you have always done in all the years of Tallashi reports. You do, you wait, you perform due diligence, you get facts. It's not opinion. You occasionally will drop an opinion out there, but it's a labeled opinion, editorial and so
forth. And one of the one of the problems that we have right now is throwing the word around, throwing the corruption word around, because if you go back and look at what we've been through with the FBI trials and stuff, if you go back and look at our reporting and even other reportings and media outs, I mean, there's documentation, there's ethics violations that reseal that
reveal text messages and emails. What's happened now is I think a group and I will argue that it's the progressives are just sort of trying to ride on that and keep throwing the word out there corruption, even when they have policy policy differences, right when you know, it's all you know, everybody's corrupt, and if you don't have documents, it's just it's just more about trying to get the media heads well, speaking of, at what point does this
issue with Commission Reporter become an issue for the Florida Commission of ethics. Ethics, Well, I think one of the things that you're what you try to do is get someone to respond. As I've said up in New York, the reporter went to the officials and said, look, you didn't Claire these gifts, And the reporters and the elect officials said, you know, you're right. Let me file an amended form, and they did. There was
a new story about them. But you know what that did. That revealed that these elected officials were going to these conferences and then the voters can decide. I think the problem here is I don't think she wants people to know what she's doing. Oh that's why maybe the Florida Commission on Ethics needs to look at it. I think eventually it will happen if there's no response integrity
Florida looks at it long enough, that's where it'll work. Yeah. So the last thing I wanted to get to was just a little bit of political briefs. Walt McNeil's filed to run for reelection. He was first elected in twenty sixteen and again in twenty twenty, and so there was some question if he was going to run again. He's filed for reelection Corey Simon, Senator in the Florida Senate, is got a challenger, Darryl Parks, who is a law partner, African American law partner with Ben Crump. I say African
American because this is going to pit two African Americans for that seat. Corey Simon is a Republican, this is a partisan. Mister Parks is a Democrat. So that is that was announced with. But it's a very big district. It's a big district. It'll be an interesting race obviously, again partisans. So when you go to the when you go in and catch your ballot, there's gonna be a Deanon r there and so we'll see what happens with
that. Jackie Ponds there was as quickly as the rumors of him possibly running for superintendent here and Leon County got started, they were put out as he filed paperwork to run for superintendent in Jefferson County. He's been principal there at the K through twelve school, which has been through it's been through a lot with a charter program. Charters privatized. It was a charter company came in for five years and managed it. Seasoned or No d's and f's and then
they pulled out. Uh mister Pons was hired to be principal. They ended up getting I think a C was the last grade. He's received a lot of positive press for that. So now he's going to run for superintendent. Pretty crowded field over there in Jefferson County though, I think four or five people running. So anyway, he'll have the leg up because of the results of bringing the school in the right direction exactly. I think that's probably his
calculation. Thanks for the time, all right, thank you, Preston, Steve Stewart, Talasher Reports. Subscribe Talasher Reports dot com twenty seven past the Hour Preston Scott sixty percent of the time. It works every time on News
Radio one hundred point sevenbufla mile Mine. Good morning, haters, Welcome to The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty two now twenty three years show thirty Big Stories in the press Box, brought to you by Grove A Creative Mark getting a digital expertise Grove A Groo Va My friends, So, Joe Biden is set to finalize major ban on popular type of cigarettes despite widespread opposition.
Is that menthol Yeah, they're banning menthol cigarettes. Menthol cigarette standards remains a top priority for the Yeah, for the FDA, no SIGs, but all the weed you want, well, not just not menthol. Apparently I don't even know what menthol cigarettes are. Like, say, standards targeting menthol cigarettes, despite heavy opposition from small business, civil rights, law enforcement, free market consumer groups, the regulations which would broadly ban the product. This is
how sheltered I am. Do you know the difference between a menthol cigarette and like a regular cigarette? Is there a difference? Well, I think the idea that they believe is that menthol and cigarettes and potentially even cigars causes people to think that it's it's not as dangerous for their health because of the I don't know if it's taste of roma. What I mean, Menthol obviously is a is kind of a minty kind of thing, right, it's what we
put you know, on our right kind of thing. You're talking to guys never smoked like you. I mean whatever, I don't know. I just know that it's just more Biden saying you can't buy this, and you can't buy that, and you can't do this, and you can't do that. I'm not a fan of cigarettes or cigarette smoke. But you know what, screw this. You know, if someone wants to put a menthol heater in their mouth, it's up to them. It still has a warning, you
know, cigarettes, smoke, tobacco products have warnings. I find them distasteful, But the the fact of the matter is you've been warned this is bad for you next, you know. I mean, it's like anyway Biden trails Trump in this what is it six of the seven battleground states. Isn't it interesting how we now call states that basically had some form of irregularity in the twenty twenty election as a battleground state. That's just so funny to me.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina. Even with a third party candidate, I still can't get my brain around why anyone would vote for Joe Biden. I I would understand voting for Robert Kennedy Junior more than I would ever understand voting for Biden. I wouldn't agree with you, but I would understand that choice more than Joe Biden. Joe Biden's ruining this country. But whatever bird flew has crossed over into the cattle industry, and
now that has crossed over into a person. It's one case. It's not screaming from the mountaintops. What it says to me is this problem of crossover happened in twenty twenty globally. What else happened globally in twenty twenty? Oregon has ended its experiment with decriminalizing hard drugs. They have said never mind to a measure which passed with a vote in twenty twenty. Fifty eight percent of voters approved it in twenty twenty. However, by August they disapproved. Fifty
six percent disapproved. So the legislature is trying to do something about it because they have too many atticts, too many people dying. Boy, no way, really, how did that happen? Real quickly? Ups will be the air cargo provider for the USPS as of September this year, and Tesla ev sales have slowed to the point where it has dropped thirty percent of its value as a company to investors. So you're caught up on what's going on.
Big stories in the press box. Pause for thought. Next. Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven double UFLA, I say, Richard Dawkins. And many of you think family feud, but that's Richard Dawson. Also Hogan's Heroes. Now Richard Dawkins Newted Atheists got to talk about him next hour. This is something Grant threw on my radar and was chuckling as he did it. That's coming up next hour, among other things, including a visit
with Matt Staber with the Liberty Council. Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, but it's time to talk about our four legged friends. Ladies and gentlemen, pause for thought, and joining us from the Bradfordville Animal Hospital, doctor Steve Steeves, A good morning friend. How are you, hey, prest I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing terrific, you know. I I've got a friend and they had to put their their dog down.
You know, the health of the dog got to a place where it was just suffering and they and he and his wife just were just so lonely. And they immediately went and found themselves a new friend. And now a study has come out that shows that dogs really are Man's asked friend, why why do dogs make people feel so good? No, Preston, there's been lots of studies over the years done to try and figure out this what we call the human animal bond. And we truly do bond with our pets,
especially probably more so dogs than any other pet. But you know, dogs they do more than just keep us company. You know, they give us unconditional love and attention, and that has all kinds of mental and physical benefits that we experience because they do bond with us and give us that unconditional love. Why, though, what is it that that have they figured out why
the connection exists? I mean, you'll if your cruise around online, you'll find little YouTube clips of even wild animals that are raised by somebody from when they were tiny, and they're released back into the wild and they come back and they and they recognize. So this is like a thing that animals in general, but dogs specifically. What's the print? What is it that creates
that bond? You think whether it's such a great interaction. You know, dogs are domesticated thousands of years ago, and because of that, we built
this great relationship with them. Over the years, it's become closer and closer, you know, and so the study that we talked about this week, you know, the the people in the study they felt more relaxed and rested better after playing or walking with their dog, and so the human was better able to concentrate all kinds of other health benefits that they proved with this study. I was going to say, and this is a two way thing.
I mean, clearly we can sort of read a dog immediately. I mean, if the dog like does something inside that it shouldn't do, dogs look guilty. We've talked about this before. They'll hang their head, they'll sit and they'll kind of wait and see if they're going to get in trouble. And it's so funny because but the in verse is true. People react to their pets and it evokes emotions in people as well that studies seem to think is really helpful to our well being. Oh. Absolutely, there's no question,
Preston. We have a number of patients that are what we call therapy dogs, and they are certified through these different organizations here in Tallahassee or around the whole country, and they are able to go into healthcare facilities, hospitals and nursing homes and memory care centers, and it brightens the mood of the people in those facilities. When they go visit with them and eases their stress.
There are deffinite physiological benefits that we have, not only for with our own pet in our home, but if you're in a facility and have a pet come visits you like that and this dog comes up in waxy tail. There are all kinds of stories that these dogs coming up and recognizing that this particular person in this room needs special attention, and this dog going and just sitting quietly next to them. And so there's a special sense that these dogs
have of the needs of the patient, the human patient. Last question for you. I know that within all breeds of dogs there are always going to be friendly dogs and dogs that might not be quite as but there does seem to be something about a Golden Retriever and the mixes of Golden Retrievers that is
common through the dogs that are the best at at friendliness and companionship. Oh. Absolutely, Gilden figures are known because they were One of the things that are readful is their temperament and they are very loyal, loving, friendly dogs. And so you're exactly right. That is probably the num one reed we
see in these therapy programs. We have a couple of golden retrievers press that are used with children, and they are in these facilities where they children's been abused or traumatized and the child has to go to court and they'll take this dog, this friend dog. They have met with them to these events, so they have more comfort when they're having to to the judge or whoever about what's experienced. So golden fevers are a wonderful greed doesn't surprise me in the
slightest you know my background. All right, doctor, thank you so much for the time this morning. Thanks Preston, Doctor Steve Steverson with a Breadville Animal hospital. So dogs. Actually it can be proven our man's best friend. Forty seven minutes after the hours Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Oh boy, the astrological impact of the total solar eclipse barf. The moon is going to make it shady. Next we'll
talk about the eclipse a little bit tomorrow and the of course Monday. How long is it supposed to last? Yeah, like if you're under in the line, but in three four minutes, that's it. Sometimes less than two minutes, depends on where you are. Yeah, I don't know why less in some areas and a bit more in others. Yea, yeah, interesting but but yeah, it's it's gonna cover a swath of the country and move to the northeast and and it'll happen real quickly. And that's going to happen
on Monday, and people are traveling all over to see it. I saw the governor of Indiana declared a state of emergency. Yeah, because of the influx. Yeah. I'm like, maham, Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, because it's only touching like this little part, this little corner area, and it's just devastating. You know this The path of this is known and so yeah. So anyway, but astrology and then they have F and F Fox and Friends A get their horoscopes red. No, why in the world
would you allow that? Anyway, I thought this was a fun story because of her grandson. Ninety four year old Ohio woman has now become the oldest person to visit all sixty three US national parks. She's seen them all and now she's traveling to visit all seven continents. It's interesting because she just returned from Chile in the Galapagos Islands and it all started when she was eighty five, her husband passed away and she had worked at a local deli in her
grocery store sold avon for a while. We're in a gift shop with her late husband and had never seen a mountain. Said something to her grandson and it was like, well, let's do it. And grandson had been away for a while, moved back home to the area, I should say, and he has made it his mission to take her around the world. That's pretty cool. And that leads perfectly to on the road again. Roaddrip idea and guess what I'm going to jump on what we started the show with first
half hour. My road trip idea is Philadelphia. And obviously you see the Liberty Bell, Obviously you see Constitution Hall. But if you walk down the road where Constitution, Independence Hall, the Constitutional the room where they were, if you walk down that road, you will see so much history down that short road. And at the end of it, you're going to Fine.
Just it's a walk. It's an easy walk. You're going to You're gonna you're gonna come across Benjamin Franklin's first where he first published his uh, his newspaper. But you're gonna find the Museum of the American Revolution. If you have never been there, go and make sure you see Washington's tent. I'm just saying, Museum of the American Revolution. When we come back, you know, Richard Dawkins is, we will introduce you to him next third hour.
Good morning, Thanks for joining us. Friends wherever, however, thank you. We really appreciate sharing time with you and we will put it to good use. All right, don't give away anything. But what is it that you think people should know about Richard Dawkins grant before we begin. He has spent his entire career as a biologist, ethicistic, you know, writer, author, and noted atheist. That's the worldview he's come from. Very
Darwinian in his view of evolutionary biology. So needless to say, if you're a Christian who holds to Genesis, Richard Dawkins isn't typically a friend, an intellectual friend, that is. So that's his background. His printed bio says, one of the most respected scientists in the world and the biggest draw in secularism, Richard Dawkins oh is generate its impressive crowds when visiting North America. Secularism is sweeping America as a movement, and Richard Dawkins is the catalyst who
galvanizes it. I don't doubt that did disagree with anything so far, not really. Yeah, let's see. He was the Charles Simony Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University from nineteen ninety five to two thousand and eight, Internationally best selling author and Annie Goes. He is the focus of a documentary called The Unbelievers, which features Woody Allen, Stephen Colbert Cameron, Diaz, Ian McEwan, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Hawking, Bill Pullman and Sarah
Silverman. They all kind of the Richard Dawkins Christopher Ritchins types had their peak in the two thousands. In the early twenty tens and the new atheism movement. Well, let's give him a listen. He is he is chatting with Rachel Johnson on LBC Radio. It might be a podcast, but that is Leading Britain's Conversation. That's what that stands for. It's one of the first commercial radio stations in England. And let's listen and hear what he has to
say in answer to a question or two. Well, I must say I was slightly horrified to hear that Ramadan is being promoted. Instead. I do think that we are culturally a Christian country. I hold myself a cultural Christian. I'm not a believer, but there's a distinction between being a believing Christian and being a cultural Christian. And so you know, I love hymns and Christmas carols, and I sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos.
I feel that we are a Christian country in that sense. It's truth that statistically the number of people who actually believe in Christianity is going down, and I'm happy with that, but I would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals and our beautiful parish churches. So I've count myself a cultural Christian. I think it wouldn't matter if we certainly, if
we substituted any alternative religion, that would be truly dreadful. Well, which brings me to my subpromatory point, which is that, as we know, church attendance is plummeting, but the building the erection of mosques across Europe. I think six thousand are under construction, and there are many more, I mean are being planned. So do you think you regard that as a problem. Do you think that matters? Yes, I do, really, I mean I might choose my words carefully. I mean, if I had to
choose between Christianity and Islam, I choose Christianity every single time. I mean, it seems to me to be a fundamentally decent religion in a way that I think Islam is not. I think you're going to have to explain why you say that, Professor Hawkins. Why is Islam profundtional? Well, the fundamentally not decent like Christianity, Yes, I mean the way women are reet. I mean Christianity is not great about that. He's had its problems with
female becaus and female bishops and things. But there's an active hostility to women which is promoted I think by the Holy books of Islam. I'm not talking about individual Muslims, who of course are quite quite different, but the doctrines of Islam, they Hadith and and the Qur'an. It's fundamentally hostile to women, hostile to gaze. And I find that I like to live in a culturally Christian country, although I do not believe a single word of the Christian
faith. We'll pick up right there when we come back here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott, coming up to twelve minutes after. Richard Dawkins is in a pickle. Of course I don't believe it, but culturally a Christian, don't you know, it would be dreadful to lose the cathedrals and the buildings and the and the decency that is found in uh in such so, I know, I'm happy that people are are believing it. Less what what drew you to this? It's a
microcosm kind of like a a look behind the veil. Richard Dawkins, I don't know if you could really tell by his voice. He's an older gentleman, maybe in his seventies now, I think, but I think there's a real cognitive dissonance that, particularly the Woodstock Boomers, the secularist boomers, are having a quandary that they loved their youth at Woodstock and doing god knows what, and now they're seeing the consequences of that society wide, and they don't
like what they're seeing. And they still have the arrogance to say that they want all of the the culturalness of what Christendom is of what the West Western civilization is with none of the Christian orthodoxy. And if you note by his language, Dawkins's vision isn't actually like a robust Christianity. His vision, he his kind of Christianity that he prefers is an impotent, progressive Christianity. That's
what he views as supreme. So but I do expect, actually, you'll see a lot more Dawkins types in the coming years, people who I would assert as a type of christless conservatism. They want all of the benefits of a traditional moral order, but they don't want to actually live according to a traditional moral order. And that's the cognitive dissonance that they're in. Well said,
Yeah, that is very well expressed. The problem that he's going to have to deal with at some point before he dies is what is it that draws him to this that he keeps denying, Something keeps drawing him to this. He's trying to intellectualize it. He is you know that a good It's a religion that is quite you know, quite decent. Are you suggesting that Christianity is responsible for a kinder, gentler culture? Yeah? Is it? And and and so I think he's he is he is now in a quandary.
His entire career now is like right in front of his eyes, like what have I done my entire life? That's what I wanted to get you back to, is what you said to me when you said we need to talk about this. I think it'd be a fun discussion because you said, I wonder what it feels like to realize the last forty years of your life have been wasted like that your dream has come to fruition and you're horrified by it. That's actually without saying it. Yes, that is living in a
real hell. Your dream came to fruition and you're terrified of it. Yeah, I'm fast donated by this. But there's more, because I want you to get a feel for how broad this secularism goes. Because I did a little digging, we find out what the shovel uncovered next an Iheart's radio station, twenty one minutes after the hour. On the other side of the proverbial glass, which is actually literal, is Grand Allen wearing the lighter version of
the seer sucker jacket. Yes, what's the stripe color of that one? It's kind of like a tan. Yeah, British hecky, you might say, Okay, I don't know. Yeah, we're talking about Richard Dawkins, the noted atheist secularist. He would prefer to be called a secularist as opposed to an atheist. I presume, because I think he feels it's more elevated. Probably I'm a secularist. Whatever. He lives by faith, just like
all alleged atheists do. Everyone lives by faith, everybody, everybody. I heard once someone put it this way, and it might have been Josh McDowell, a noted apologist for the Christian faith who has written a book that I noted in my blog called Evidence the Demands a Verdict. It is a very heady read. It is a tough read because it is written like a college
thesis. It is thick and sourced and full of facts that allow you to come to the same conclusion that your your heart, your faith brought you to. Because after all, Jesus kind of ramp things up a bit. You didn't just say, love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your strength, all your might. He said, you can love them with your mind. See that was a big catalyst to me, let's do a little digging. McDowell once said
words to the effect. I think it was McDowell that science just sheer mathematical probability and odds are so in favor of God if you just approach it from that standpoint, he said, imagine, and he was using the analogy of a Chicago phone book, which at the time was just massively thick. He said, imagine taking that phone book, tearing it up into all kinds of pieces, throwing it in the air, and it landing in perfect order, every piece, every shred, every bit of paper and cardboard, all aligning
perfectly back in order. He said. The odds of that happening are similar to the odds of us happening by accident of humanity just evolving the Big Bang leading to the primordial soup and us evolving out of it. We're not talking about I mean, God very well could be the author of the Big Bang. I don't know. I'm not overly stressed about it all. But science
leads you to some inescapable conclusions just based on problematical odds. And that's not even getting into the prophecies that predicted the Christ and that were fulfilled that were totally outside of his control. I mean, you know, Jesus could have jumped on a donkey to ride into Jerusalem, sure, but he didn't have control of the crowd. He didn't have control over his death. He didn't have control over his birth, his birthplace, any number of things, a
few hundred in fact. But if you go to Richard Dawkin's website first, you see a somewhat unnatural fascination with digger wasps. He's written a gazillion papers and things on the nesting strategy in a digger wasp? Do digger wasp commit concord fallacy? The evolutionary stable nesting strategy in a digger wasp? Digger wasp as an evolutionary stable preadaptation to social life. I mean, this guy's got
a thing for trying to explain things ridiculously. But here's what else is on his website links to the Coronavirus Resource Center, which, oh, by the way, among its among its reliable articles, COVID booster shot bolsters protection in five to eleven year olds, says piser and biointech. Oh really, do they say that? You mean the ones who profit by these shots them? How about this why the COVID cult of Ivermectin won't die. Now, keep in mind this is dated, but it's still linked. It's still there.
He still has it. He promotes all kinds of things that are right on the money. With the narrative that the mainstream media has been carrying. Here's why I connect those dots. Because the narrative on the coronavirus, the narrative on climate change, this narrative is all about secularism. It's all about humanism. It's all about putting faith in government to solve your ills, to solve
your problems, to be the source of your fill in the blank. But he's now, he's placed himself at a crossroads because he's seeing something happen and he doesn't like it. But he can't give into it or he truly throws away his life of work. Friends, my advice is to learn from this. Connect the dots. Secularism, humanism, atheism, take your pick. It leads to destruction, and you don't have to agree for that truth to
be true. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on US Radio one hundred point seven wfl I Big Stories in the press Box, brought to you by grove
of creative marketing and digital expertise. No bigger story really of the week than the Florida State Supreme Court, by a vote of four to three, allowing the abortion amendment on the ballot, and here to talk about it, as the founder chairman of Liberty Council, our friend Matt Staver or Matt, it is inexplicable to me how four justices came to the conclusion that they did. Let me ask you, first and foremost, how did they get there?
Well, I think you said it. It's inexplicable because you have three dissenting justices, all three of the women justices, and they did a marvelous job pointing out why this ballot initiative did not comply with Florida law. It was deceptive. People don't know what they're going to be voting for. The ballot summary was not sufficient, It violates the single subject rule. It will affect
all three branches of government. They were right on and then some of those in the majority, for example the Chief Justice, he acknowledged that this ballot summary has a lot of vagueness and that there's a lot of problems with its application that people wouldn't know about. So he acknowledges the very problem that we argued and that the Centers actually points out. He acknowledges that. But then he goes on to say, and this is the inexplicable part that, well,
this is just part of judicial interpretation of any kind of statue. Well, this is not a statute. This is a voter initiative, and a voter initiative has to comply with certain aspects of law. And when you go and read the ballot summary, you need to know what you're voting for. Do people know that they're voting for no law regarding abortion through viability? Do they know that even after viability, a tattoo artist is empowered under this particular
provision to determine a medical decision of viability. Do they know that, even if the person says the baby is viable, that they could override any late term abortion law. No, they don't know that. Do they know that health and safety regulations will be challenged? Do they know that the only surviving law that could possibly happen up through the late second, early third trimester would be parnal notification. Every law is going to be wiped out. No,
they don't know that. That's exactly the problem, and the Chief Justice acknowledge that. But then the Chief Justice says, well, you know, that's just going to be something that we'll have to deal with, you know, if it's passed. Well, no, no, no, that's a statute. Maybe. You know, legislatures can pass statutes, they can have vague language in there, they can get challenged, the courts can have the job to interpret them. But that's not a load or initiative because there's no debate
on a voter initiative unlike a statute. Well, let me ask you, Matt, is is that in and of itself that statement by the Chief Justice grounds to challenge this again because he's calling it a statute and it wasn't passed by this legislature. It's it's something that we as voters are relying on the court to get right, for us to decide on. Well, he doesn't call it a statue per se, but he makes the analogy to that's what
you do with a statute. And so that's a problem. And this is not a statue because the reason why the law is the way it is for voter initiatives is that there's no give and take, there's no debate. Somebody who has a special interest in this case, planned parenthood in the Aco, they come up with a particular piece of writing, they set it out there. They need to tell you exactly what your yes is and what your no is. And if they don't, then it can't go on the ballot.
You need to not be fooled. That's the problem. People will be fooled. So you have this decision that is coming forth and it's inexplicable, and I think there's a real problem with the Court's interpretation not only of this but in general of these voter initiatives. They've got to reform this system. This is not right because this means anybody with money can put basically anything on the
ballot and fool the people. And then when you fool the people, it goes in the constitution and you're stuck with this, you know, and when this happens and then health and safety regulations are challenged, people are going to say, oh, my goodness, I didn't think that this would knock those down. Yep. You know, on the same day that we had the four to three decisions, which I thought it was just impossible that we would have a four to three decision the wrong way, and many others as well.
On that same day, we had the six to one decision that that ultimately resolved thirty five years of our work to overturn this NRTW case going back to nineteen eighty nine, overruling that terrible abortion decision. Hang on a second, Matt, We're going to pick up right there forty past the hour. Preston Scott, this is the way on News radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA its friend not just of the radio program, He's a friend of every Floridian and
every Christ centered, freedom loving constitution supporting American in this country. Matt Staber with us. Matt, it's not lost on me that the four justices that voted to allow this ridiculous amendment on the ballot are men, and the dissenting votes are women. Were these guys bullied by the feminist movement that have been calling men the purveyors of attacking their bodies all these years? I wouldn't say that they were bullied about that. I think that their legal reasoning was clearly
off. I just cannot understand this. When you look at this particular amendment. Look, you start with the title of it to prohibit government interference with abortion. Well you would think, well, maybe that's the government is interfering, you want to prohibit it. No, this literally takes any kind of government regulation out of it totally. I mean, it gives unlimited abortion at any time, for any reason, up to and including birth. That's really
what the title should have been. An amendment to provide abortion at any time for any reason, up to an including birth. That's really what this is
about. That would have been a better title. So, I mean, even from the title down to the ballot summary, down to the actual language of this amendment, it was clear when you look at all the cases, when you look at the issues here, when you look at the briefs, when you look at the fact that they couldn't even answer the right questions during oral argument and in the briefs they just didn't really address the substect of issues. I just find it hard. As you said, it's inexplicable how four
justices would get it wrong. But they got it wrong. So now does it become a pr battle. Do we have to now win this in the public forum, which you know the mainstream media is going to fight us. Yeah, here's where there's two things Number one, we need to just make sure that they have all the signatures, not only have the overall number of signatures, but they have to have the distribution of signatures in each one of these districts and precincts, and so we're going to just double check and make
sure that that's the case. That's number one. Number two, we're going to look at how they got these signatures. But number three, we're also going to go into a huge pr battle to try to let people know how broad, how radical, how extreme this amendment is. More extreme than anybody thinks, because how these signatures were gathered is people went to these people in parks in different events and they would say, sign this petition to protect women. Okay, so they sign it, Well, what's it about? They
wouldn't tell you. I know people that were approached and they would have to ask multiple times what's it about? What's it about? Finally they would say, oh, it's about abortion, But they would not tell that to most people. So most people sign this not even knowing what they're signing. So I think we can stop this and beat it at the ballot box. They're going to have to have sixty percent. I don't think they're going to get that. But even beyond that, here's the other thing. Beyond this case.
No matter how this happens, the three dissenters and even the Chief Justice opened up the door for us to go back and challenge personhood under Article one section of the Constitution. It was raised, it wasn't addressed, it wasn't finalized. But that's also a big concern. The people aren't aware of Article one, Section two, how a person can have a right to life, and that would include the end. So this battle is far from over.
I think we ultimately win it. It was a terrible decision. It was a great decision that we won on the other case where we overruled all the thirty five years of abortion bad decisions that we've worked for for thirty five years. But I think we win this too. I think we win it certainly
in the media. I think we win it by speaking truth. But I can tell you we're going to be outgunned in terms of money because they're going to spend maybe one hundred million dollars or more in Florida, because they're making this not just abortion, they're making it their presidential life. Absolutely, try to get people to the polls. That's really what this is about. I know we'll talk about it more and I'll share some thoughts with you privately in
writing. Matt, thank you so much for your time and all your efforts. Thank you. Good to be with you. All righty Matt Staber with us from Liberty Council again LC dot org. All right, before we go today, sincere condolences to Florida Senate President Kathleen Pasadomo and family and friends, colleagues of her husband John who died tragic accident. They were hiking in Utah
and he fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury and passed away. Just sad and so our sincere again sympathies, and we'll be keeping your family and our prayers and we're very very sorry for your loss. Tomorrow on the program, Scott Shephard will join us free Enterprise Project inside the Disney shareholders meeting.
