And that could be a fiend song. Come on, put in donach plumb be here now to foot. Welcome friends, Friday of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He's Grant Allen, looking like he dropped right out of Mayberry, like he's been hanging out with Andy Griffith on the porch. Well, hey, barr oe, uh. Good to be with you friends. Let's start our Friday with a verse of Scripture one Corinthians fifteen twenty through twenty two. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead,
the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came, death by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as an Adam all dies, so in Christ shall all be made live. Come get some of that. That's where you rest, that's where you anchor right there. Great to be with you, my friends. Friday, of course is a little bit of a different show. It just kind of works that way now. Of course, in the hours of the of the
night time things changed. Israel has launched an attack on Iran. It is a very limited, very precise missile attack on a specific military target, and so it goes. You know, it's interesting because Iran said, we consider this matter closed. Israel's like, well, we don't. No, you don't get to you don't get to shoot three hundred different types of ordinance at us and say we're done. We might not be. You might be, but we might not be. Oh my, that inevitably will be something we'll
discuss today as well. It'll be the big stories in the press box. We'll get stupid criminal stories. We've got pay scale reel or imagined imbalances and pay got some compliments and of course what's to be Friday and more. I'm just like I've put the buffet out and it's just the nibblers. I haven't even gotten to the whole thing. Stick around. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. If you're new to the radio program, at this point in the show, each and every day we try to broaden, add depth to your knowledge of history. We open up the American Patriots Omenac and take a peak April nineteen, seventeen seventy five Lexington and Concord. Oh, I will tell you there is nothing that
can replace going there it's just remarkable. The previous night saw seven hundred British troops march out of Boston with orders to seize any colonial weapons they might find. By dawn the next morning, they had reached Lexington, where they found seventy five American minutemen waiting for them on the village Green. Don't fire unless fired upon, Captain Jonas Parker ordered the patriots. But if they mean to
have a war, let it begin here. The British commander ordered the Americans to lay down their arms, called them a bad name, told them to disperse. Colonialists grudgingly began to drift away. Suddenly someone fired a shot. No one knows who. The surprise British ranks let loose a volley. Eight died, ten wounded on Lexington Green. They were all colonialists, patriots the red Coat. So it's continued up the road to Concord, where several hundred
Americans had gathered. Another small battle ensued before the British decided it was time to return to Boston. Then the real fighting began. The road back to Lexington became a nightmarish gauntlet of deadly fire. I've driven that road, the road from Concord back to Lexington, and it's you you can envision it, but being at Concord, being in the open field, seeing where the British marched across a bridge and where many died there. In fact, there are
graves right there. It's surreal, it really is. The shot heard round the world was not the shot fired at Lexington. It was the shot fired by the Patriots in response at Concord, when we decided to fight back. That was the shot heard around the world. So the Revolutionary war begins today. In seventeen seventy five, eighteen sixty five, funeral services held for Abraham Lincoln eighteen ninety seven, First Boston Marathon run nineteen thirty three. FDR announces
the US is going off the gold standard. Nineteen fifty one. General Douglas MacArthur, relieved of command by Truman, gives his farewell addressed to Congress, saying, old soldiers never die, They just fade away. And on this date in nineteen ninety five, you were not alive yet. Bomb explodes outside the Alfred Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, killing one hundred and sixty eight injuring hundreds more domestic terrorist. He's no longer with US. Sixteen minutes after the
hour back with more of the Morning Show with Preston's Guy. The way musicians can now take their instrument, usually it's an acoustic guitar, and they'll start. They'll lay down a rhythm track. They'll just tap on their guitar, and then they push a little button on their little pedal station down below. They've recorded that, so now they've got that steady beat, and then they'll make some other sound. Maybe they'll just really cramp down on the guitar with
their fingers. I don't know how it's called, but then they'll make this little added, little rhythmic sound. They'll record that. Then they'll do something maybe vocally, and then they'll do a harmony to that little thing vocally. Now they've laid down a little bit of background track and they can just call it all up and create a band by themselves with one instrument. It's incredible
the technology that's out there today, it really is. I watched Ed Sheeran on I think it was the voice do a song that way, and I was just my joft. It's like, oh, the guy's incredibly talented. He really is. And now more and more musicians are doing that kind of thing. Ran across a little clip this morning and it's just, man, you've got skills. Good on you. I don't have those skills. Wish I had those skills. Keep telling my I need to need to learn how
to play the pi ano, piano, piano and guitar. Would be where I would love to be. But it's all about time, and it's just yeah, I'd love to fly more. I'd love to get my private license again time. But that one's more money. That's it's pricey to do that. Speaking of pricey, have you seen what's going on with gold? Gold is is way up And I came across a piece by Michael Wilkerson. He is a he's just it's a commentary and he's just a strategic advisor, investor,
just author is just one of many. Nothing that says he's like the beacon of correctness on this just it was an interesting analysis. Gold hit an all time high of twenty four forty five on April twelfth, before closing the day at twenty three sixty. Right now it's at twenty three eighty one per ounce. It would appear that a lot of people are converting their ETFs their gold ETFs to actual gold, and they're kind of pulling it out and keeping
it. Personally, there are a lot of people that have paper gold. They have an ira or something that's invested in paper gold, which in theory, you're invested in x amount of ounces of gold. I would think that if you're going to do that, I'd want the gold in hand, because it's a hedge. It's a hedge against whatever may happen out there. And he offers three possibilities for why gold is likely going to keep growing. Inflation.
He said, the Fed's not talking about cutting rates much now, and we're seeing inflation is still elevated, and it seems to be picking back up. Second factor, Russia Ukraine, and now what's going on in the Middle East, the possibility the specter of war growing in its scope and sucking more nations in, and then the combination of the two. He said, the rise of gold price in the price of gold in US dollar terms doesn't necessarily
mean that gold is more expensive. It simply means the dollar is worth less. And that gets to kind of where I wanted to get to listen to this fact. When the Federal Reserve was founded in nineteen thirteen, one ounce of gold could be bought for less than nineteen dollars. The value of the dollars since twenty since nineteen thirteen has fallen ninety nine percent, and the price of gold has jumped one hundred and twenty four fold. Think about that.
We we oftentimes look at the dollar and look at like yesterday, Scott Beacon was talking to us about how the Iranian currency compares to the dollar and how it's just it's shredded, it's got no value. Well, you can go historically and look at the value of a dollar and if it's dropped ninety nine percent, that means the dollar of nineteen thirteen is now worth a penny, But that compared to other currencies around the world is elevated. So what does
that tell you about the overall economic condition of things. That's why I thought this was just an interesting commentary. It gives some historical context and just offers guy's opinion on what's going on with gold. I'm not telling you to buy gold. I'm not telling you not to buy gold, you know, I just I just think it's it's information worth considering and if it caused you to do a little more digging cool twenty seven minutes. We've got the big stories.
Next, Preston Scott, what will you doing without freedom? On used radio one hundred point seven w UFLA all right, little advisory for our listening area. Note from FHP I ten east bound west of town at mile post one eighty one, a Gooseneck trailer eastbound on ien. Truck experienced some kind of problem causing the driver to lose control. Vehicle went into the median jackknife. The vehicle came rest on the inside lane of the median. No injuries.
That's good, and so there there may be still a little bit of a blockage, just making you aware it might be gone. But we just got the alert from FHP six minutes ago, so hopefully that'll be helpful to you. Good morning show. I'm Preston. It's a big story. Time Grove a creative marketing and digital expertise. And of course the big story is reports claiming that Israel has launched a limited strike on Iran in retaliation for recent
attacks. However, in Iranian official claims there was no attack. Now Israel releasing a statement. Here's a courtesy of Fox News. Trey Yanks reporting from tel Aviv, Israel's Home Front Command releasing a statement this morning saying there is no change in posture for Israel. This is an indication that the Israelis do
not anticipate in immediate Iranian response to these strikes. The home Front Command is used to communicate military messages to the civilian population here and alert people across this country if they need to stay near to bomb shelters or to other locations. And at this point there are no special instructions for the Israeli people. There you go. Now, obviously you have the Sabbath coming at sunset tonight, and so oh you just you never know, you never know what's going to
happen. Does this escalate? Does it not? It's a military target, it was very limited in its strike. It's it's it's message sending. They warned the United States they were going to do it. They didn't ask for permission, nor should they. Would you ask permission of Joe Biden and the leadership of this country right now? What are your thoughts, Joe wind Rocky Road, some pistachio nut? I mean, uh, you know, banana split? That sounds good? Oh sorry, would you ask me now?
New report reveals China's role in the fentanyl crisis. Bipartisan investigation show that the Chinese Communist Party is actively facilitating the importation of fentanyl into the country. They are supplying it to the cartels right now. DEA laboratory testing shows that seven out of ten pills contain a deadly dose. That is an increase of four out of ten and twenty twenty one, so seven out of ten. And this has been floating around a little bit, just a little heads up that
breakfast cereals are being scrutinized for a pesticide called chlormaquat. EPA has said previously that it shouldn't be allowed, but they've opened the door for it. It's used internationally. It controls plant growth. It's designed so that oats don't grow taller than the harvester wants. They don't want them tall, and then bending
over where the harvester misses them for harvest purposes. It shortens the stalk if put another way, And so right now they're finding questionable levels of this stuff in quaker oats and in cheerios. So I'm just putting that on your radar. I know that I will not be buying cheerios for a while. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott Hey. Quick reminder for those of you that are art lovers that the Arts in the Park Show, it's an annual show,
is this weekend in the chain of parks downtown. It's really a lovely setting. It's a canopied setting and friends of mine, Deborah and Randy Breenan, are going to be set up in booths one oh five and one oh six. I have two paintings by Randy. They are exceptional artists. In fact, one of the best shows that comes up from time to time is side by side when they they take a photo and they both do a painting of it in their styles, and I just I just think they're so good.
And so if you're interested the art shows this weekend, and make sure you go by and say hello to Randy and Deborah at booths one oh five and one oh six. Give him a hearty high five regular listeners of the Morning Show. And for for a long long time, I have known Randy and his family since the late eighties early nineties, and so we go way
back. Love him as a brother in Christ and as a friend, and so yeah, support the work, and look, you're gonna just see a bunch of talented artists out there, and I'm a sucker for that stuff, So that's kind of cool. A couple other stories here that I thought worth mentioning. Hannah Gudierrez read she was the armorer for the movie Rust and there was a shooting that took place that led to the death of the cinematographer, held me A Hutchins. Back in twenty twenty one, she died gun that
Alec Baldwin was holding discharged. She was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, and Baldwin is facing the exact same charge in front of the same judge in the same community. Now. She made the mistake and recorded calls of calling the jurors stupid and the judge an expletive. Probably didn't help her sentencing. A whole lot experts saying Baldwin needs to do a plea deal like right now. Baldwin maintains that he did nothing wrong, that the gun, he did
not pull the trigger. I don't believe him for one second. They have tested that gun repeatedly. It has yet to be discharged without the pulling of a trigger. He was practicing and he wasn't paying attention. He violated all of the rules of gun handling. And then there's this and explain this to me. Law enforcement agencies in multiple states had an outage of their nine to one to one emergency lines in Las Vegas, all of South South Dakota,
and hearts of Nebraska at the same time. Is there interconnectivity in nine to one one services? First? Someone knows the answer to that. Email me presin atiheartradio dot com. If there is interconnectivity, I e. Like the power grid, that's just stupid. Or let me borrow Grant's favorite word from the week. That's asinine. I mean, isn't it. How can you have nine one one services linked so that if one goes down, several go down. That's just so help me out here. It was a story and
epic times it happened. What we don't know is are they connected. They don't know if they were connected. When we come back, we're gonna change gears a little bit. Compliments, compliments to brighten someone's day. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, I'm gonna give you just a little brief taste here. This is and I kind of like something that's gonna pop up out of this segment, the difference you can make in people's days
by offering compliments. Now, a guy that I've stumbled upon is Troy Hawk. Now he's a British comedian I guess by trade, who also has a little side hustle. I don't know if he does it for free, but it's something called the Greeters Guild and he goes to events in the UK and businesses and parks and locations and just compliments people. And this is just a short little piece of when he got dared to you go to Well, I'll let him explain. That is some sweet excavating. You are excavating like a
champion. I've recently made a video giving people in London drive by compliments, as if trying to compliment British people isn't difficult enough. The comment section was filled with folks saying I'd like to see him try that in New York Challenge exception. I thank you for the salute, deeply appreciated. You've got an admirable stillness. Everything is moving around you, and you are an oasis in calm. You are a god from another decade. Do your Carl it scheme.
It's fantastic. I say, you both looked very relaxed. You're a father son combination. I can tell by the eyebrows they're identical. Yes, absolutely, there's your mirror and it's a very lovely mirror as well. Good economy of facials. I like it. Hello that I'm very much affiliated with Ganesh. I'm afraid he's my boy. Stunning, absolutely stunning. That's an all in one incredible how are you shoulders back yarn everything? Of course you
are. That's that's a wonderful costure show of the best day, sweet lanyard wielding. It's good straw there. I'm enjoying it. I see you and so he just reacts and so he's clearly good at it. What brought that
back to mind? And I do follow this guy's videos because they're remarkably entertaining to me because he wears a what it's called a smoking jacket and basically he's like in pajamas with really nice dress shoes and he just strolls about with his shirts back and he just finds you, sir, if a vescence in your approach to life, I can see it in your eyes. And I mean it's just he just finds something good to say. So this article says six
compliments that land every time and one you handled that situation so well. Two you make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary. Three, I'm really impressed with your ability to work under pressure. Four I love the way you bring out the best in people. Five great ear rings. Six your performance was brilliant. And then lastly, just remember when someone pays you a compliment, to say thank you, that's tough for some of us. Some of us have a
very difficult time receiving a compliment. I do. I struggle with it. I tend to be a little self deprecating or even denigrating. And well, you know love your show. Oh you're the one really enjoy your RADI pot, Well you need to get out more and listen to more radio. I mean, that's just kind of my nature. That said the woman that was
kind of the impetus of this article. She hands out cards to people when she's doing business, checking out or whatever, when someone goes over and above, and it says your willingness to go the extra mile never goes unnoticed. On the flip side, it says, you're receiving this compliment because your awesomeness deserves a big shout out. I got to thinking that might be a fun little project to create cards that we can hand out to people who deliver great
customer service. So I might design something that you can you can get via mail that will mail to you courtesy of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, inspired by the Greeter's Guild. Just think about it, think about it. I'm going to bring this up again. If you like the idea. I don't. I'm not going to raise any money through it. I'm not it. Just I will do this and offer them to you. If you like the idea for customer service that over and above, email me Preston and IHEARTRATEDO
dot com. Oh my goodness, we are getting bombarded with emails from people wanting compliment cards. Hell, We'll have to see what we can design that could be fun. We'll delve back into that sometime perhaps next week. But trust me, this will not go unanswered. Well done, ruminators. Five minutes past the hour it is Friday. On the Morning Show Preston Scott,
I wanted to talk about Kitlin Clark and let me read the headline. Her staggeringly low starting salary briefly explained now inside this article, it talks about how, despite her record breaking NCAA career and performance energy she generated for the sport, her base salary as a rookie is going to be seventy six, five hundred and thirty five dollars. In the NBA, a first draft pick is expected to make roughly ten point five million. Now, of course, people
are saying, could Kaitlin Clark fix the issues of this pay gap. She could address it. Her popularity could help. But let's let's notice this. The WNBA, who we've talked about, which we've talked about, may not be a friend to Caitlin Clark because she's white, and she's heterosexual, and she wants the ball in her hands a lot. She's a volume shot shooter.
They might resent her. If they were smart, they would embrace her because she's going to bring television ratings, She's going to bring crowds to the arenas, and that is going to lift what has been an atrocious league. Who watches now, the the WNBA claims to bring in roughly two hundred million dollars in a season. The NBA brings in ten billion. The WNBA season is forty games. The NBA is eighty two excluding playoffs. Then you got
Joe Biden Way in women's sports. He posted on x whoever's writing for Joe. Women's sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all but right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share. Here we go fair share blah blah blah blah blah. It's time that we get listen, listen to the wording. It's time that we give our daughters, we're talking biological Joe, the same opportunities as sons and ensure
women are paid what they deserve. Here's the thing, and this is what I want to focus on here this morning for a few minutes. In performance based businesses, and by performance, I'm talking about sports, I'm talking about entertainment, I'm talking about music. I'm talking about a lot of different entities, of different industries. Women are paid exactly what they deserve. Give you an example. Caitlin Clark is part of a league that no one, hardly
anybody watches on television. It is being pushed on television because the NBA requires that anyone who signs an agreement to broadcast the NBA and pays for that privilege, has to air WNBA games they must, and of course Disney, ESPN, ABC, they are all in. Turner's not broadcasting WNBA games. The NBA Network's not broadcasting NBA games or WNBA games. So the little bit of exposure that exists is because it's required, you have to do it, you
have to air it, but people don't watch. I don't believe they pull in two hundred million dollars a year. I personally don't believe that. I think that is an absolute made up figure. But that said, this goes a heck of a lot deeper, and I want to get to it next here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott, getting even suggestions now on what to put on the card. Suggestion here
from Steph put John three sixteen on one side, probably not. My goal is to enable people to just compliment others and brighten their day, and hopefully that will allow for a conversation. Perhaps that might lead to that a more authentic exchange of ideals and yes, drive people to listen to the program, which would allow them to hear our shared faith and view of life. Through the lens of Christ. But thank you, I appreciate the suggestion. I
will consider it. However, I will talk it over with the team. I guess grant, we're gonna have to schedule a meeting of the executive staff at some point, so maybe send a memo out to the tire the whole crew. Yeah, yeah, and yeah, the review board might have to get in on this as well. Do you want to go that high? Well, I feel like as high up the hierarchy. Yeah, that the review board of the program. We might have to We might have to have
to get their blessings as well. That's serious stuff, I know, I know. Here's the thing. Let's talk money. Women pay. Sorry, there are would you agree with me that there are jobs out there, rank and file, just jobs where men are paid more than women who do the exact same work. And it's it's like a payscale thing. It's not. It's like equal background, equal experience, equal job description, equal responsibilities, and sometimes men are paid more than women. I don't know, fair enough,
I'm not sure it does happen. It doesn't happen as often it does happen, But there are times when the roles are reversed. What I want to point out first of all for Kaitlin Clark is that what Caitlin's making in in WNBA money, that's going to be kick around money for her because she's going to sign an eight figure deal if she hasn't already with Nike. By the way I did it, I just had to make sure my eyes saw this right in my brain. You know what eight figures is. Eight figures
is a minimum of ten million dollars. So let's for a second, let's not feel bad for Caitlin because she is going to be able to leverage the exposure she generated for women's college basketball for being, you know, kind of an iconic figure in the game. She did bring people to the game.
She did absolutely it is undeniable. She made it kind of watchable for a lot of people because there are times women's basketball it's tough to watch because there's jump balls all over the place, there's traveling and stumbling and falling down, and I mean it's just it is. It's the it's not as clean. It's not like women's golf. Where women's golf you could argue that's what men should be watching as women playing golf because their swing and everything about it is
more easily modeled and better for the average guy. The average guy can't swing it the way of pro does. Just can't. Average guy had to watch a woman's swing a golf club on the professional circuit. But I just want to point something out on this pay scale thing. It's performance based. There's some actors that make more than actresses. There are some singers that make more than other singers. There are some sports that draw more than other sports.
The men's leagues draw more than the women's leagues. They're paid more because they draw more, because they have people, more people watching. You know where the inversion is modeling. Male models don't make squat compared to the high end female models. It's not even close. Why female models are more in demand. They generate more revenue for products. They generate more revenue for makeup, they generate more revenue for air products, they generate more revenue for fashion.
They just do. It's just the way it is. And guess what that's okay, It's quite all right. Sixteen minutes after the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Stupid criminal story is coming up in twenty minutes, including an honorable mention, stupid criminal? Who get that? Who could be that? Honorable mention? Stupid criminal? We'll find out that's coming up in this a little bit. We also have what's to be Friday next hour.
Get your thoughts together, friends, ladies and gentlemen, ruminators near and far. Your time to get it off your chest is is coming up next hour here on the program. And of course we've got the best and the worst. We've got good news segment and headlines from the b among other things still to come on the program. Always welcome the email. Just like I
said, I'm just getting a ton of requests. It's it's really fun people responding to the idea of compliment cards that we would produce, dealing with good customer service. And yeah, I you know, we're getting some really good feedback. So thank you very much for that, all of you young and old sending me notes. Here's some other some other emails. Thank you for
being the voice for so many. The vote by the Senate to not even take up the matter of the impeachment vote was a bilateral slap in the face of so many. I have written and will be calling my senators in Georgia. Hope you can relay this to as many people that listen. How important this vote was A concerned listener. Uh yeah, wherever you are hugely important that Chuck Schumer would not allow the process to take place. That's the Democrats
way of doing things. If you can, if you're worried about the outcome of a trial, you you pull off a vote. And the Democrats don't break ranks. Generally, they just don't. I promise you that if there had been a trial in the Senate, a few Democrats would have voted for impeachment because they're they're feeling the effects and their constituents know, but they were threatened by Shoe. You ever want any legislation past the Senate, you toe
the line they did. Got this note. Just want to agree with you about your assessment of the homeless. I'm a close friend with a lot of first responders. At one point, Tallassi Fire Department was charged with going out and offering assistance and assessments of some of the homeless camps. You are correct. Many of the people that are in those camps are quite happy there. There is a hierarchy and typically somebody functions as the boss. I had multiple
first responders tell me. They were typically told, we're happy, here, got everything we need. A lot of these people just don't want to involve themselves in societal rules and norms. And I guess that's okay as long as you're not breaking any laws or becoming a burden of society, which unfortunately I think they are in many cases. Thank you very much for the note.
Got this note after hearing you talk about becoming a judge. I was talking about the decision of judges in the Fourth Circuit of the Appeals Court invalidating a West Virginia law that protected women's sports against men against boys, and so I said, well, then I'm a judge if you can be anything you want to be, he writes, he said, I've decided that I now have a PhD with no student loans. I'm going into my boss's office demand to raise because of my new education level. Wish me luck. I wrote this
in response B period who period you? Period? Choose period two? Period B B just B And then I got this note For those of us who truly don't understand, could you do a segment sometime that explains why the mainstream media are so in the pocket of the Democrats. I assume these people can think for themselves after having a meeting this past week on not assuming anything though,
and see where the Democrat policies are not good for this country. What are they gaining for their support, What are their gains worth what we're losing. That's a good suggestion. So we will do a segment two three. I'll bring in an expert. We will dissect where the media went wrong and why. We'll explain it to you. That's a great idea. Keep it coming, Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Consider him your truth detector. The
Morning Show with Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven WUFLA. Getting closer to what's to be Friday about a half hour away. Stupid criminal stories in just a little bit moments away, in fact, But first the big stories in the press box, brought to you by Grove of Creative marketing and digital expertise. Of course, we are paying attention to what is going on. You know, it is really difficult for me to watch these anti Israel protests
going on in America. Get these haters out of the country. And I know that's not an unpopular thing to say, and I know that it will, you know, land unfavorably from a that's not what America is about perspective. But this is nonsense. What's being allowed on college campuses? It really
is that said, is your conducting retaliatory strikes on Iran. Fox's Jeff Paul has the latest from Tel Aviv. Israel is responding to Iran with these very specific in targeted strikes hitting the area the central region in Iran of Isfahan. Now that's roughly two hundred miles away from the Iranian capital of Tehran, and this is significant because it is located close to the capitol but also near the Natans nuclear facility. Now, that site, as we should stress, was
not hit or affected. The strike though appeared to target the nearby Iranian air base. But it clearly shows that Israel has the capabilities to hit these very important sites when it wants. Yeah, and that is important. Now, Iran has released a statement that it will not retaliate for this strike. Do
you believe them? Personally? I wouldn't believe one word the Iranians have to say, and quite candidly, it would be very difficult for me to believe the word of any real committed, practicing Islamist committed to Sharia because inside those teachings is a a willingness you mislead and lie if it accomplishes the greater purpose for their Allah. And see these are these are these subtle nuances that separate
out the world faiths. True adherence to Shariah, to the Qur'an, to the writings of Muhammad justify dishonesty, deception, and lying because it serves a greater cause. It's okay. And so when Iran says, ah, we're not gonna we're not gonna retaliate, I, I do not think it's wise for anybody in the world to believe it. Now, we'll see that's what they've said. We now know they've said that. We'll remember that. We'll another another big story here a report showing the extent of China's role in the
fentanyl crisis. China is flooding Mexico with fentanyl, getting into the cartels so the cartels can bring it into the country. This is part of the systemic effort by the Chinese to disrupt and undermine America. Grant sent me a video yesterday that I watched of Tucker Carlson and a radio show host in Texas, advocating some pretty strong things. The overall thoughts one hundred percent agree with one
hundred percent. There might be minutia in there. I didn't, but the overarching thought is the idea is to crumble this country from within, and that Republicans are part of the problem significantly. So forty minutes after the hour, back with stupid criminal stories and an honorable mention, honorable mention, stupid criminal Preston Scott. They're gonna get a I'm just which knock knock? Who's nash on w f l A, getting closer, getting closer to what's the beef
Friday that comes up in just a little bit. Complain, get it off your chest. We're here for you. So a very very busy final hour awaits us here on the Morning Show with Prestin Scott. At first, is it buffering? Did your internet go out? Come on? Yeah? Whatever, man, that's brutal, no good deed. And so we begin with another edition of another edition of Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Ladies and gentlemen, great to be with you this morning. And we are here yet again with another edition of one more time Professional Radio at its finest. Here's a stupid criminal for him. Me. Well, not really. I can't do anything about the fact that that thing froze on me. All right, here we go, Indiana. Sarah Harris twice made open line calls to the police departments nine one one. An officer visited her residence to ensure
that everyone was okay. During a conversation with a police captain, Harris declared that her meth was not what it was supposed to be. She explained that the drug left her feeling as if she was going to have a heart attack. Oh, don't worry. She was just mething around. Huh, she was just mething around bad. That's sir. You may see yourself out. She said she'd snorted a line of meth and felt something different when it touched
her skin and nostrils. Apparently believing that the local sheriff operated a better business bureau, Harris requested that the drug be tested. She declared that she wanted to turn the person in who provided her the meth. While speaking with police at her home in the city of Bedford, Indiana, Harris made the mistake of handing over the meth that had so vexed her. The contents of the small baggy, which carried a red pig design later field tested positive for meth.
As a result of Harris providing the narcotic evidence, a criminal information charging her with meth possession was filed, a Class six felony carrying a maximum a thirty month prison term. She called police to turn into her drug dealer because she wanted better quality math. To call the manager like a Karen, this is awful service. And then my honorable mention, stupid criminal is Joe Biden talked about one of his uncles, Ambrose Finnegan. He was a bleep of
an athlete, they tell me when he was a kid. He flew those single engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones. He got shot down in New Guinea, never found the body because there used to be there were a lot of cannibals for real, and that part of New Guinea. So Joe Biden is claiming that his uncle, it's like a crashed his plane in New Guinea
and then was eaten by cannibals. The only problem is the Defense pow Mia Accounting Agency has a slightly different record, saying that the plane that his uncle was on nose dived into the into the ocean off the coast of New Guinea. One crew member survived, but Ambrose Finnegan was in the Pacific. He was he he was in the Pacific. He did die in a plane crash, but he died in the drink going nose down. One crew member got
out and survived. And obviously there's an accounting for what happened. And I don't know the family legends that are passed on. Man, those are a man. You are kidding? Man got eaten by cannibal? What's wrong with you? I'll tell you why. I never look at a person the same since that horrible tragedy hit my family. It might all be pork chops. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Cannibals. Remember now, that's why I named Joe the honorary Stupid Criminal, because in my opinion, he
absolutely is a criminal and criminally well, you know the rest. Speaking of cannibals, what's going on in Haiti? Have we heard any updates recently? It's kind of going quiet. You did not just say that they are cannibal gangs are like have taken over Grant Allen, All facts, brother, all facts? Well, thankfully there's at least one village in Haiti that has a water tower to wash it all down. It's time for what's the beef?
Calls are welcome try this headline. Virginia becomes first state in the South to ban child marriage what's considered child marriage. Eleven states in the US have made it illegal for children to marry without exceptions like you're we talking seventeen year olds or are we talking eleven year olds? Well, I'm inten just going through here now in four states California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. There is no minimum wage. In Virginia. Eight thousand Virginians under the age
of eighteen got married between two thousand and twenty twenty one. The youngest was twelve ooh. Eighty percent were girls. In twenty sixteen, Virginia raised the minimum age for marriage to sixteen. If the miner is emancipated before then children under the age of sixteen could marry, could marry with parental consent or because of pregnancy. Wow. Then there's this. Collingswold High School, New Jersey school has had issues with race related tensions. Now students belonging to quote a
white student union are under police investigation. A handful of students started the club as a foil to the Black Student Union. Last year, students walked out and protests, claiming that black students were being disciplined more frequently with harsher consequences than their white peers. You could do an entire show on this. Yeah, I'll be honest with you. Okay, let's see where this leads. You know how, a lot of times we bring up the question what if
the roles were reversed? This is what happens when the roles are reversed, exactly Exhibit A. I've been talking on this show since March eighteenth, two thousand and two about the Congressional Black Caucus, the fill in the blank groups that are based strictly on race. At what point is it okay for white people to do it? Now? See, I think it's it's ridiculous.
I'm not congratulating these white students. I'm saying, well done for pointing out the obvious that the inverse of this is wrong, and if you have to do it by doing what you're doing, so be it. It is wrong. Anything based on race like this is wrong. But they seem to tolerate the Black Student Union. What's to be Friday's next? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The time to call is now. Unbelievably, we have a line open. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Eight five zero
two zero five, ninety three fifty two, it's time four. What's the beef? It is our weekly presentation of you, of you, for you, by you. This is your chance to complain about whatever's on your mind. Eight five zero two zero five excuse me, ninety three fifty two eight five zero two zero five WFLA. There are two rules. If you're new to the program, you don't know what you're getting into here. All we ask is that you not use profanity, keep it clean, and don't make
it personal. If you have a bad experience at a business, tell us about it. Don't name the business. We want to We want to help businesses, we don't want to hurt them. Leave that kind of thing to the radio broadcast professionals. And so we begin with Greg, who has waited the longest, and again eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Greg called it, and you are up. What's the beef? The demagogery related to the Arizona Supreme Court decision and the subsequent valid initiative. But there's a tie
in with a verse of scripture that ties it all together. The Book of Jude verse twenty three, save others by snatching them from the fire? Do others show mercy mixed with fear hitting even the clothing stayed by corrupted flesh? New international version Last Thursday that became the nickname Arizona Nightmare. CNN Foday Knight did the loop of a street protest, and then this past Monday, Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on Kelly Clarkson to discuss the same thing. Who have you
not heard from? Oh, that's right, the Catholic Bishops of Arizona who published on the Arizona Catholic Conference web page, ending quote, we do not believe that this extreme initiative is what Arizona wants or needs, and we continue to pray that it does not succeed. And coming up after the break, an interview with Donald Trump's criminal defense witnesses not thank you, Greg, appreciate shiit the folk call, let's go to Robert good luck? Following that,
my brother, you are up. What's the beef? This is a dysfunctional United States government. You need to turn down your radio. Pal, I got I'm not going to bring you up unless you have your radio back down. I'm gonna give you a second to get the radio turned down. How about that? All right? Go for it, sir. Functional government. Yeah, we have a Senate and a House controlled by the Senate leader and
the Speaker of the House that bypasses the actual functions of representative government. They get less than three hundred or let's see, I would say three hundred thousand votes to get Schumer elected, maybe the same for Pelosi or whoever the speaker
happens to be. And they operate slush funds with no accountability. They ignore the Constitution when it's convenient, and we need to change the structure of the Congress and the Senate and the House representatives to a three member of leadership disasies in each one where any member can bring something to the Florida vote and eliminate that power structure that both McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi and these other derelicts who have exercise for a number of years. Better Yeah, a little bit.
I'm gonna have a vodka right now. The colors are in rare form that frees up a line eight five zero two zero five WFLA. John your next, then David, then Jeremiah. The State of the World has him drinking at eight ten in the morning Eastern Time. Not in me checking the lunar schedule right now? Is there another full moon or a clips going on that I missed out? Come on, friends, bring it, ruminators, you're
up. It's your time. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. What's to Be Friday continues Next an exclusive presentation of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. See what this sounds like? I'm doing my Rush Limbaugh impersonation. See the problem is this mic is not like his mic completely. I killed an EiV mic. I could hear the puffs. Yeah, that's mine. The yeah even right there? Oh
yeah right there. See took the took the little uh what's it called windscreen? Windscreen off the mic? Yeah, yep, yep, uh pop filter. That goes by a lot of different things. Anyway, it's what's the beef Friday? Your chance to call in and complain. I can't. Someone tied up the light and then got off the line eight five zero two zero five to w f L A call in. Now, let's go to John. Hi John, you've been very patient, Thank you, what's the beef?
Good morning to Preston. Thank you and Grant for what you do. And the two previous callers have set the bar high. So I'm here to mess up the great curve. Uh, but maybe we won't to take your advertisements. Uh. But my beef is with the governor and Attorney general of the state of Arkansas because they haven't followed suit with New York's governor and attorney general and retroactively making laws, especially the one concerning rape. They should have
Bill Clinton brought up on rape charges against Juanita Broderick. She's been the most credible I believe me too victim I've heard of. And speaking of Clinton's I don't understand people openly admitting they couldn't be fair in a trial because they don't like Donald Trump. I mean, I'd put the question on them, how would you like to be on trial? And you want the jewors no matter if it was an expouse or somebody you had bad business dealings with, that
they could be fair even if they didn't like you. I could be fair. At Hillary Clinton's death Unity trial, and I'd volunteered to be executioner, and I'd be gentle. I might be passive aggressive. I wouldn't swave the cotton on her on her neck before I gave the injection, but I wouldn't be mean anyway. Y'all have a good weekend. Thank you, John. What just happened? What just happened? I'm I'm I'm now starting to worry. Come on, ruminators, let's rally. Let's go. David, you're
up. What's the beef quote of the week, Senator Kennedy, Let's buy a spine. I don't know that Walmartin or Target's got that many spines for sale. Yeah, it might include Senator Kennedy sometimes too, Yes, but that was the quote of the week. I just have to say that somebody needs to buy some spines and send them up. Thank you, David, appreciate the phone call. Let's go to Jeremiah. Jeremiah, you are up, sir. Tough tough set of calls to follow, but I'm trusting you.
Well, I'm gonna do my best. Preston Uh. The the beef I have has been brewing for months and months, Okay. I remember growing up as a kid going to Fizzoli. Oh yeah, man, I got the news just last year, Fizzoli's is coming up. They put up that sign in front of Academy and there ain't nothing happened. They put up another sign, Ain't nothing happened. They haven't put up not one slab of concrete. And I'm ready for some Fazolis, Preston, that's my beef of the
weak. So the Fizzles has not even broke ground. No, just the sign up. Oh that is all, Preston is cruel. It has been. It has been rough for me. Preston, I hear you. Jeremiah, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Yeah, as a pasta lover and a breadstick officionado, which I would consider myself one. That's harsh. Getting all that teasing done, George, you are the final caller in this segment. You're up, what's the beef? Good morning? Pressed In
My beef is UH. From every local city commission all the way up to Congress. You'll get the left leaning UH people condemning Israel for the genocide they're committing, you know, over in Gaza. But you don't get any mention of the properties that happened. To the Israeli divilians, you know, women and children and instants and and it's any if you've had the unfortunate circumstance to
see what happened to these these people. But it's it's in the media, even the media, and it is uh, it's wrong, and it's in uh it's im moral too to you know, do this and and it just uh, you just tapped me. And the other thing is is uh. I guess there's gonna have a new recipe on Guam. Is gonna be called McK biden. Thank you very much. That's terrible new recipe and I think you meant new Guinea, not Guam mckbiden. That's terrible. Okay, Doug John, Ken, we have one line open. It can be yours.
One more segment of therapy. It's what's the be Friday in the Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty two past the hour, we have Doug John and Ken. We have one line open. I could fit a fourth, big even a fifth callar here you can take the line eight five zero two zero five to b f l A. Doug are up, sir, Thank you for being so very patient. What's the beef? Yeah, a beef is pressed and I want to see you more often. Some suggesting that you have a
YouTube channel. There's a Brian Craig down in Palm Beach, Florida on a radio station down there that it's a live YouTube when he does the radio station. What do you think of that? Well, you know, we did that years ago. We were on YouTube Live, but YouTube was rolling commercials in and iHeart was not a big fan of that, and so we went to Facebook Live. But then Facebook lost its mind and I could not see myself contributing to that, and so we've just kind of decided from a staffing
perspective that we would just stick to radio and misstood. And here's the other thing. All cameras are high definition now, and I don't know that anyone really wants to see me in high death. Yeh. It's kind of why I left TV to begin with. High deff cameras were coming in as I was exiting the television world. But but I appreciate your your thought on that. We'll certainly consider ways to bring the program to you. Uh, what do you think the big advantage would be of of doing it on video?
You know, it's just kind of a novel. Look this guy, Brian Craig on this Palm Beach radio station. He does mostly Trump support, and he goes around the country and talks about various issues and stuff. But it's just another new way of looking. I watch him with the microphone in front of him, just like you are right now, and then he goes to break and then he talks to the YouTube audience. Then he goes back to the radio station. Gotcha, And I really like I really like it.
Yeah all right, doug Hey, thanks very much. I appreciate that. Yeah cool, good for them. Let's do uh, let's do John, John, You're up to me. My beef Preston is with the grotesque immorality of some in a public school system. I refuse to believe that little boys and little girls question if they are in fact a boy or a girl without being brought there by an adult. And I think the same people that would do that are the ones that facilitate drag shows in elementary schools and fight against
the removal of pornography in children's books. I think these people are morally bankrupt and have no business being around children at any capacity. Now, the flip side of that for me is I believe there are plenty of salt in the era of people within the system that have real problems with this transgender garbage and see it for the evil that it truly is. But they don't speak out against it because they've seen what happens to those who have stood up to it
and spoken out against it. They've seen that getting fired and losing their jobs just the beginning of a whole lot of hate that's going to keep coming at them until they've been completely distry. The left has become expert at getting virtuous people to compromise on the principles and values throw intimidation, and I think we've gotten there in part because the live and let live crowd, which is where I consider myself to be, have given up too much ground to the if
you oppose us, will destroy you mob. Now, I used to think this transgender buffoonery was just a conga line of this guided fools playing dress up to get some attention. But seeing what they're doing the kids, now that completely out of hand, not funny. Used to be stopped and stood up to. And I want to add with this those that have cooked up DEI tell us that it stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. If you look at how this operates and what it seeks to achieve, I think a much
more accurate definition would be deliberate, evil intent, brilliant. Just well done, John, Well done. Ken, you're the final caller. What's the beef? I don't know if I could back that. Oh, I just you just delivered with that. They want to fix the sidewalks, not the roads. Come on, that's that's I'm like, I said, I can't. That guy just nailed it. Ken, You're the man brother. Thank you so much for calling in this morning. I appreciate it. Yes there
anytime. Thank you, strong ending, strong ending. Well done, ruminators. It got a little different for a while. I thought I was Rod Serling and we were in an episode of the Twilight Zone for more than a minute there, but we brought it back landed the plane. Well done, friends, Thank you for calling in. It's always fun. It's why we do it. Half hour fun, little diversion. We come back best and worst on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. Normally big stories in the press box time brought to you by Grove of creative marketing and digital expertise. But on Friday we excuse ourselves from hardcore news unless there's something like crazy going on, and then we would dive in, but not on Friday, And so we just share the best and the worst of the week, not necessarily the stories that we've talked about. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. But what stood out to us and grant
your best and worst of the week. I just had my best and I forgot it, legit. I was just looking like it just happened to you right now, the best, Oh and you and you forgot it? Huh? I did? Okay, worst It'll come to me in a second worst of the week though, just I heard it described this way. The Republicans in Congress when they get power, they're like drug addicts that need to immediately get their fix rather than like looking at an issue logically, like what's the
first big thing that we could tackle. Instead, Mike Johnson gets power Ukraine funding and he just gets like the hit, you know. It's it's like they're drug addicts and they just need to like throw something at whatever whatever they're thinking because they can because they can't. Yes, It's it's like they need to get their fix for whatever. So so that was my worst of the
week and my best. I'm fluster and trying to remember what it Windles and Crocs did you I can go there because I was thinking, well, to you, if you wanted to save that one, I do have the story. I'll let you save it for you know, I don't. I don't want to spoil it now because that's a good one. Would would that rank of as a best of the week for you? Probably not? That would be that's a hail maryage. Okay, we'll come back. I'll take over, and if you come up with your best of the week, we'll go
back to it. My worst of the week is the Master's ratings were down roughly twenty percent on TV. How is that possible? That's sad. It's the pre eminent golf tournament every single year. It signals the start of the golf season for much of the country. It's like spring. Right after the Masters, everyone dusts off their clubs and gets out there and plays in the golf courses up north are finally thawed. Yep. Absolutely, but ratings were
down. I think the PGA is just screwing up massive By talking to live and the arguments so easy for me to make. I'll do it another time. But the worst of the week is that it just died on the buying as far as viewership. The best of the week, though, happens to be The Masters. In the wake of winning his second Masters, Scotti Scheffler
is doing his post Master's press conference where he just the jackets on. The presentations are over and he's just sitting down and talking to the media, and he had this to say, sitting around with my buddies this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed because I told him. I was like, I wish that I didn't want to win as badly as I did, or as badly as I do. I think it would make the mornings easier. But I
love winning. I hate losing, I really do. And when you're hearing the biggest moments, when I'm sitting there with the lead on Sunday, I really really want to win badly. And my buddies told me this morning, you know, my victory was secure on the cross and that's that's a pretty special feeling to know that I'm secure for forever and it doesn't matter, you know, whether or not I win this tournament, or if I lose this tournament, you know my identity is secure for forever. Come on, that's
great. He's softly, not religiously. He got a little emotional talking about how there was a moment there where he actually he got a little emotional just about the fact that his eternity secured in Christ because of what he did on
the Cross and how that brings. And this was not the first and only time he talked about Jesus during the Masters, during press conferences, and so as much as the Masters was the worst of the week because of the TV viewership being down and golf just being in a really splintered state, it shouldn't be. They should just ignore, live and move on. I will give you the blueprint to all of that sometime soon. But Scottie Scheffler, man, it's so good. I can't tell you what it for me personally.
It's so good to see a guy on a platform handle it right, honor the right things, family, faith. I just good on him. He's a he's he is he is a role model and there aren't many Forty minutes past the hour, come back with big, good good news. Next it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Monday, we'll talk a little LEFSU water polo women's water polo with coach Adam Gaffie. It is a club sport, but it is a intercollegiate club sport. We'll talk about how that all works.
But the FSU women are in the nationals again. They won the regional and are heading to the nationals of Texas, A and M in May. And one of the listeners of the show has a daughter that plays on the water polo team, and man, I would be doing exactly what that dad was doing. I would be talking up my kid and the sport she participates in. I said, put me in touch. I'd love to have the coach on coach reached out Boom. It's gonna happen Monday on the program.
Love giving shout outs to people that are are excelling at whatever they do, and so we'll do that on Monday. Irish Chaffell will join us on Monday. The FSU football Spring Showcase. It's not really a spring game, it's a showcase. I like the way Ohio State does it. They put it's the offense against the defense, and the defense gets points for different things and it it was really good, but FSU does the showcase at least right now.
There have been different iterations of it, and Irischaffel will join us Monday to talk about that, as well as some other things related to Florida State Athletics. But first, Kay, do you have any good news for a kings so much? Just spell it's time for some good news. It's true even I need a little good news now and then wouldn't it be lovely if we had just a little bit of good news? School bus? I can do this. School bus driver Larry Ferris Junior is known in his community for
going above and beyond. His community is Louisville, Kentucky, and the Jefferson County Public School District. He was formerly a corrections officer, and after he retired from corrections, became a truck driver and then became a bus driver and found what he calls his calling well. One day he was picking up a little fellow named Levi. Levi was on the regular route that he runs, quoting Normally, when I pull up, he's standing there waiting for me with
a big smile. But on this day he was sitting on the ground with a jacket over his head. I asked him, Hey, buddy, what's going on. What's wrong. That's when Levi, a first grader at Engelhart Elementary, explained through tears that he didn't have pajamas for pajama day. Ferris closed the doors, watched Levi slide into a seat away from his friends,
and he said he knew he had to do something. He said, I thought, I got to fix this, And so when he finished up his morning ro oute, he went straight to the family Dollar store and purchased two pair of pajamas for Levi and he went back to school. I said, you were hurting this morning. You were crying, So I got you these pajamas. He was so excited. You should have seen how his face lit up. Local newspaper interviewed little Levi. He said, I can tell mister
Larry is nice and his heart is filled with joy. When he got me the pajamas, I did a happy cry. And mister Larry said, I've been driving buses for seven years. It's my passion because I get to build bonds with children. I truly love every minute of it. And then the flows flowing compliments came in on the article on the face Facebook page everywhere about
this guy. And I just want to shout out to Larry Parrott Farish Junior, and to all of you who drive buses and do it with the joy that this man does when he picks up and drops off kids every day and looks out for him. There are good people out there. Kind of a little subplot to today's show, recognizing people that go over and above the call of duty, recognizing it because that is good news. Already laughing, Time for a dad joke. The are simple little funnies to share at church or

Well, friends, we uh, we covered a lot of ground today. You can go back and listen to the big stories. Israel launching an attack on Iran. It was very, very targeted, one location, military target. See that's how normal nations do things. They don't attack civilians, families, babies,
children, They go for military targets. But no, no, that's not the way everybody does it. A bunch of other stuff. We even talked about compliments. Came up with an idea we'll advance that next week or week after. Imbalances in pay scale, some are real, some are imagined, some I explained. Took your calls during What's the Beef. It was a fascinating half hour of radio, and then of course issued the best and the
