Good morning friends. Welcome Thursday, ladies and gentlemen, Ruminators near and far. Common sense amplified yet again, Thursday, April twenty fifth. Remember you can stream this live on iHeartRadio. So whether you're looking up WFLA in Panama City or WFLA one hundred point seven in Tallahassee, wherever you travel, you can listen live simple it's just delayed a little bit. You can still phone
in at times. You can participate in all Things Morning Show via the app, but we welcome you to the radio program we'll set up for you here. In a second our verse today Colossians one twenty seven and twenty eight, it says to them God chose to make known how great among the gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the mystery Christ in you, riches, Christ in you, the hope of glory Him. We proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom,
that we may present everyone mature in Christ. There you go. I think that verse just kind of speaks for itself, so we'll leave it right there. Today busy day, Thursdays always are. Doctor David Harts will join us next hour Steve Stewart from Tallahassee reports there is so much happening, so much political conniving going on here locally. It's just it's Michael, it really is Tallahasseans. Is that what we call them? Do we do? We call
those who live in Tallahassee Tallahasseans or Tallahashians. It's something fun about tallahash Heights. Yeah, make it biblical sounding, the w sites, the Hiptes, the tallahash Heights or is it Tallahashites. The sh sound, the sh sound just adds a little panage. Yeah. Yeah. So you have a very consequential election coming up here, you really do. And I'll be shocked if
we don't talk about this with Steve Stewart. I'm just gonna tell you, don't fall for the nonsense on the whole pay raise thing that Jeremy Mattlow is pushing out. He was all in favor of it back a couple of years ago. This is all political, This is all about staging. This is nothing more than that. Just vote against any referendum that raises the pay of the city commission. Just vote against that. And then and then, just
if Jack Porter's defeated and Curtis Richardson has retained. Though it's still all bunch of Democrats. There are more reasonable Democrats that don't want to destroy this city that will be left to run things, and Jeremy will be left as a solo, solitary vote on most things and he can pursue his whatever, you know, other ways. Just know that the orchestration behind trying to keep this community just out of touch, illiberal, ridiculously left is all centered around Jeremy
Mattlow. His aid is the head of the party. His sick of fans are the ones that are the extreme leftists that are behind every little evil thing that's going on around here. So just keep that in mind. This is a remarkably consequential election and you've got to dig just a little deeper and let that guide your voting. Also today on the program, doctor Ed Moore will talk. We're going to take a little detour. I'm going to let him take a detour. He's such a nerd when it comes to Florida politics and
the governance of this state. He said, I really want to talk about the history of the cabinet. Okay, then we're going to get to back to explorers and Pioneers, which was the chosen topic for the year. But we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna divert one one more month in our history segment with Doctor dmore So much to discuss road trip idea as well, and a good one one I never ever heard of in South Dakota. It's crazy and it's really cool. So stick around. I'm gonna try to get
this going here. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well, I sort of had pizza yesterday. I did not have time to pick up a pizza from Dave's, but I did treat yourself. Well, I just popped open the freezer and had a couple of French bread pizzas. Little guys that are dulled them up a little bit, added a few more things. But yeah, I just yesterday, I
just wanted to go suck my thumb. I mean, it's just once the forecast for today looking like more of the same or honestly, yeah, it's just that week. It's just I mean, I was just scanning through headlines this morning and it's it just a fire is burning all across this country. You and I were talking about it before we even started the show. Do we flunk them? Do we flunk them out of school? Or just kick them out of school? All these little jerks at these college campuses, and
that's what they are. They don't know anything about the Middle East. They don't know anything about Hamas, Hezbollah, who they's, They know nothing about it nothing. It's almost an identical crossover to what happened in the summer of four years ago. Summer of twenty twenty. It's almost a direct overlap. The exact same people, the exact same types at these college campuses. It's almost a direct overlap. I feel as though a bunch of them. First
of all, they're all wearing masks, nearly all of them cowards. But at least they're not all wearing black, so at least they've diversified their color palette just a little bit. Yeah, the Palestinian flag colors have some green and some red, and you know, they gotta the fashion Eastas have a little bit of pop right now. But it's like it's almost like, oh, you mean, there's something going on in the green so we can like skip classes. Oh yeah, I am totally down with that. I'm like,
okay, fail the classes. A bunch of you aren't graduating now see you next year. Maybe so you flunk them out of their classes for missing whatever, because this is the time of year when you got finals. Right this I mean, isn't graduation coming to a bunch of school campuses in April and may flunk them, flunk them out. Let's see what mom and dad feel about that. Anyway. I'm just I'm so over the snowflakes of this generation. I really am. Anyway, I'm sorry, Patriots Tomanac, April
twenty fifth. United States declares war on Spain. Eighteen ninety eight, UVS, US and Soviet forces meet at the Elbe River in Central Europe. World War Two draws to a close. Nineteen fifty nine, Saint Lauri's Seaway linking the Atlantic to the Great Lakes opens. That's still an incredible feat to me. Pioneer ten crosses Pluto's orbit in nineteen eighty three, continuing its voyage voyage in space beyond the Solar System. I wonder when the last time it was
we heard from Pioneer ten. I got to look that up. And Space Shuttle Discovery places the Hubble telescope into orbit. There were problems with that, and in twenty eleven three day tornado outbreak hitting states from New York to Texas, Texas to New York, killing over three hundred and so that was in twenty eleven. I remember talking about that, all right, fifteen sixteen after the hour, Now it's the morning chat with Preston Scott twenty one minutes after
the hour. Got the answer to by wondering. Pioneer ten sent its last transmission that we've picked up on January twenty third, two thousand and three, when it was seven point six billion miles from Earth. The signal took eleven hours and twenty minutes to reach us, and they believe that the power then decayed to the point where it couldn't transmit anything by a radio transmitter anymore.
Final attempt to contact Pioneer ten failed in two thousand and six. By twenty seventeen, it is estimated it was eleven billion miles away and is located in the direction of the Taurus was and now would be inside the Taurus constellation heading out of the Solar System if intercepted by intelligent life. I'm sorry, I
had a good laugh on this one. Pioneer ten carries an aluminum plaque with diagrams of a man and a woman, the solar system, and the location relative to fourteen pulsars, The idea being that if intelligent beings interpret the diagram, they would be able to determine, based on the position of the Sun, the Earth, and so forth, where we are. My question is, would anyone in the modern era be able to tell that is a man and that is a woman? What is that? I was in that direction.
I'm wondering if Pioneer ten takes off in this day and age, do they put a cross dresser? Do they put a transgender? Do they what do they do? Do they put a dude with bulging biceps and calves in the skirt with some lipstick, I mean back hair? And now, what's the accurate representation of humanity today in the year of our Lord twenty twenty four? For deep space life to figure out? I would Here's how I would depict us apple tree, apple on the ground with a bite taken out,
That's how I would depict mankind. Can you imagine that fallen apple from the tree with a bite taken out? Can you imagine the aliens trying to decipher this poem. This what is this story? This high level philosophical people that just give us this image? Bah, let's just laugh. Yeah. Speaking to Markers, I got a great note from Todd mentioned the Dolittle raid over the last few weeks. Wasn't sure if you knew Doolittle and his crew's practice
at Eggland Air Force Base. That's where they did their practice before they went out there on the aircraft carrier to take off. The field they used is now called Eggland C five Range Wagner Fields. It is just south of I ten, near and east of Florida State Road two eighty five on Bob Sykes Road. There's also a commemorative sign at the turnoff to the field where it there's a marker, and he took a picture of it. He sent it
to me do Little Raiders, and it explains all of it. He also said, I believe the crews going in for the failed resc of the Iranian hostages in nineteen seventy nine tested some special tactics at the same field. And isn't there a connection to D Day prep and Coast Island Carabelle area? Yeah? Man, shout out panhandle, Yeah, come on, so that's pretty cool. So Todd, thank you very much for that tip and the photo.
Very cool to know that would be crazy. They kind of depicted that scene in the movie Pearl Harbor where they put a line on the runway marking the point where the B twenty five's I think it was they had to take
off. By then they didn't, they were over the edge of the ship, and so they just they kept stripping it down, making it lighter and lighter and lighter, and then of course they had to even be more drastic than that on the day of the launch in the when they did do the raid on Japan on Tokyo, because they were spotted by a fishing boat and they had to take off sooner than they planned, so they didn't have enough fuel, so they had to strip even more of the armaments and different things
off the planes to get them to take off and be more efficient with the with the fuel that they could carry. So there you go, all right, twenty seven past the hour. We've got the big stories in the press box. Next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA thirty five passed morning show, Hello Everybody, Big star in the press box brought to you,
but I grow a creative marketing and digital expertise. Got this breakdown from one of the research assistants. Where does one US tax dollar go? Twenty two cents goes to Social Security, fourteen cents to medicare, fourteen cents to help, thirteen cents to National Defense, thirteen percent, thirteen cents to income security. That would be programs like food assistants, disability insurance, et cetera.
Eleven cents interest, five cents to veterans benefits and services, two cents to transportation, two cents to commerce, four cents for other That is courtesy of the US Bureau of Fiscal Service, based on government outlays for the fiscal year ending September thirtieth, twenty twenty three. So there is the breakdown, the most recent breakdown of where every tax dollar goes and how it's broken down.
You think Social Security is in trouble, nearly one quarter of every tax dollar goes to keep it afloat, and we don't have the political courage to admit it's in trouble because they mismanaged it and spend all your money, all of my money, all of our money, housing payments at an all time high rates topping seven point four percent, and so median monthly housing payments right now twenty seven hundred and seventy five dollars a month. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is
calling for forty four point six percent capital gains tax rate. That would mean that with state capital gains, California would have a combined rate of fifty nine percent, New Jersey fifty five percent, Oregon fifty four and a half, Minnesota fifty four and a half, New York fifty three and a half. That means states and federal governments would take better than half of a capital gain. By the way, China is less just say it. Judicial watch out
there saying, and with a freedom of information request they're getting records. FBI records indicate that Fauci, the agency run by Anthony Fauci, funded gain of research gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab. Inside it says in the notes that they would leave no signatures of purposeful human manipulation. It was manipulated.
The government knew it, agencies knew it. It was intentionally manipulated, and they have now the records, but guess what we have Just for giggles, Joe Biden once again at the NABTU the foundations for a Bright Future on the teleprompter, imagine what we can do next four more years? Ah? Did you catch it? Did you catch it? He's reading the teleprompter. Imagine what we can do next four more years? Pause. As Clay Travis
pointed out online, he's literally Ron Burgundy reading everything in the prompter. Imagine what we can do next four more years? Oh? Year, what happened in the Ron Burgundy thing? His co anchor, knowing that he read everything wrote, had profanities written on the on the teleprompter, and Ron Burgundy then proceeded to get fired because he read the teleprompter and had just set a bunch of profanities on the air, and he cursed out his audience. That'd be
awesome, Joe Biden, bleep you. Oh, I guess I shouldn't have said that. Forty minutes Preston Scott, this is the way my news radio one hundred point seven double USLA forty one minutes after the hour. Interesting perspective here on EVS from an interesting source. Brian Dean Wright never heard of him.
He's a former CIA operations officer. He's got a podcast called The Right Report, and he said, if people knew the truth about EV's those that are motivated by the green, good for the environment angle, they'd think twice, maybe even more than that. He said, it's not a green vehicle, it's in fact, quoting dirty. Starting with the batteries, which I think we could all agree batteries are everything on an EV agreed. I mean, that's it. Those are the things that are going to deteriorate and go
out far sooner than a gas powered engine. They are toxic to the environment once they're out, they're unbelievably expensive to replace. But then there's this, the thousands of pounds of materials cobalt, lithium, nickel that have to be extracted from around the world to even make the batteries. Congo is the source of seventy percent of the world's cobalt. Of that, about a third comes
from miners who are mostly kids. This is a guy with a CIA his job to know things like this, quoting this is the horrific thing imagining these child miners pulling this stuff out of the ground to make our green cars go. Also, we know that about nineteen cobalt mines in the Congo fifteen are controlled by the Chinese government or a Chinese entity. Lithium most comes from Australia, but a large amount comes from South America, known as the Lithium Triangle.
The mining is problematic because it takes five hundred thousand gallons of water to produce a single ton of lithium. It's a coveted resource in the region, and so how water is used affects the indigenous people. We're removing one critical resource by a lot of those indigenous folks down there so we can have our green, clean car. He says. Nickel primarily comes from Indonesia. There are two approaches to nickel mining, he writes of one involves an energy intensive
process that requires a cold, cold fired furnaces. He said, once you finish mining for nickel, it needs to be disposed of either in tailing ponds or dried and stacked. Both of those pose environmental problems. And then he points out to where the technology is going right now with these evs. Do you know that Ford filed for a patent last March that would We mentioned it
briefly it would use self driving capabilities to repossess the vehicle. It would repossess itself if someone was laid on payments, and they would determine what that means. The car would be programmed to drive away from the owner and turn itself back into a bank to the ford lending motor credit to the local forward dealership. Whatever. And then you've got China, which controls eighty percent of the refining of the minerals needed for all of the batteries. And Joe Biden is
putting rules in place to force you and me to buy electric vehicles. If it goes unchanged, for many of you, your next vehicle purchase will be required to be electric. That doesn't count the cost of you charging it and having to put in the infrastructure to support that charging. That doesn't count the delays in whatever your travels are because you got to wait hour, hour and a half along with everybody else to fuel up. And what if what if
all the charges are used when you need to be somewhere. Can't just stop in the gas station and four minutes later drive away. Doesn't work that way Back with more of the Morning Show and Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott fifty minutes after the air board got a lot of feedback yesterday, big
story yet yesterday talking about it again today a little bit. The effort apparently to kidnap child children Panama City Beach public beach last weekend, and boy, as I thought, Bay County Sheriffs Tommy Ford and his staff there very very responsive to the report, unlike Panama City Beach. In fact, Grant. I got an email from somebody that retired law enforcement in the community that attempted to get the report, got hung up on, got promised that they would
get a call back. Nothing. And I got other email from people that live in the region saying, yeah, the Panama City Beach Police Department is notorious for burying things like this because allegedly this is their emails not you know, I don't live there. Love visiting peer Park, love visiting the area, love it. But they said it's bad for tourism. Well, what's worse for tourism? Having a kidnapping from a public beach? Does that help
tourism? You know? This reminds me of that famous scene from the movie Jaws where Matt Hooper, the oceanologist, the shark expert that basically says to the mayor, you're gonna ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you in the and and that's why I'm grateful the Sheriff's office is involved. There's likely that FDL e FBI will probably be involved. For those of you that do not know, I have the police report. It was entrusted to me
by the victims. I've known the victims and since nineteen eighty seven. I mean, I don't know what to say to you other than I know this family and what happened to them was horrifying, and it should be concerning that there very well might be a ring of people in the region looking for the opportunity to snatch a child. And so we are doing all we can.
My outlet, this show Shane in Tasks doing their show in Panama City, the Country station on iHeart, our colleagues on all the different formats talking about this. Keep it on your radar. If you're going to the beach, keep it on your radar, Be aware, be vigilant. Honestly, if you're at a beach, I understand that you'd love to be alone, have the beach to yourself. But if you're with kids, Be careful, be careful. Safety in numbers big time, all right now, And I will
mention that again later on in the program. I don't know if you've seen Google, the CEO Sundar pitch High. Is that how you pronounce his name? Isn't it funny? Sewing and reaping? How it works? Could we agree that Google has been one of the most progressive, permissive cultures out there and hateful to the right, hateful to conservatives. They've bred this, this village of intolerance and hate, and so it shocks me not at all that
they have a sit in a pro Palestinian city in on the job. Well, they fired twenty eight of them, and as they investigated, they came to fire twenty two more. So fifty have been fired from their main offices. He said, Ultimately, we are a workplace. Sewing and reaping sucks, doesn't it. Five minutes past it's the second hour of the Morning Show with President Scott I set after yesterday's show. During yesterday's show, I wanted
I wanted to take a bubble bathed. I wanted to be surrounded by butterflies, hummingbirds, and eat a pizza. This was I was just traumatized by everything that we talked about yesterday just kind of built up and today is just a continuation of it. Welcome friends to the second Hour. He's Grant Allen, I'm Preston Scott and he is Steve Stewart. He is the executive editor of Tallasseh Report. It's on the website, of course, Dallasti reports dot
com. Where would I be without you? You would be? Sounds like a song, that's a good one. But thank you schools. Look, you know I'm gonna I'm gonna break my arm patting myself in the back here, but you know, good journalism. We had a reporter covering a gender review at the school board meeting, which is a prefer preview of this board meeting on Tuesday, and so big story out that we've We've got in thirty comments on Facebook, fifteen hundred people read his story and it was just out
late last night. So we'll get a clip of what we're talking about. But Alva Alva Smith, you know, sort of drew a line in the sand and said, look, we're talking budget here and we cannot be honest. And by the way, just and this is just a clerical thing to many. They don't know that Alva Smith was Alvias Striplin to many that Alvas Yeah, same person. Yeah. And so they're talking budget and she just she came out and said, listen, if we're not gonna talk about closing
schools down we're not serious about the budget. And she went on to talk about schools that are losing population and use the word downsizing. This was at the end of the agenda. Review got very quiet, and so we'll you know, what was the reaction to by the other board members and the superintendent really just you know, silence, silence. I think that this is something now that's gonna she's we'll have a clip up of the of her comments this
afternoon or this morning. But this is going on Duval County, which is Jacksonville. They've lost thirty thousand students in the last ten years and so they're closing like ten schools, and well we saw this coming, right and in Deval it's a combination of people moving to Saint John's County where they're building schools like crazy, all right, and you know, charter schools, private schools
and things like that. Here it's you know, we've our student population is not growing, and there are people moving to the demographics, people moving to separate parts in different parts of town, and they're leaving these elementary schools to be at forty percent capacity and we're paying millions of dollars to keep them open.
And so she's drawn a line into saying this is a big issue for her, and I think is another indication of the problems we have with the education system here are they are they focused into why the exodus from the schools,
which candidly I predicted. Yeah, well, I think you know, if you start looking we're talking elementary schools, if you start looking at the neighborhoods, people, you know, people they're moving in these neighborhoods that don't have kids, and then you got the neighborhood schools, so there's nobody going
to school there are there? Their numbers are decreasing. You've got kid, you know, I've got parents are like, I don't want to send them to these Title one schools which have been titled one schools as long as they've probably had the designation title ie, there's no improvements. So they're saying, hey, I'm not going to send my kids here, even if they live in the school district. So and again it's there are more options as well. You can school virtually, you can school at home, there are there
are more private schools, and there are more options. Look, we're not getting the full story. And again I hate to pick on Leon County schools, but this is where this is where I live. There is underneath the veneer of this school system, underneath the nice turf fields that we spend ten million dollars for. I mean, there's stuff going on in classrooms that if we had reporters that we could get out and get the story. I mean,
there are discipline problems in schools. There are teachers leaving because of discipline problems. Nobody wants to address Nobody wants to address it. There are they're just operational issues. We've got coaches that you know, are you know, running sports teams, kids that want to be involved, and they don't even load scores up on a website. I mean it is you get to do whatever you want to do. And it goes back to this thing that we're
seeing everywhere is the rules are being redefined. You can cuss in a classroom, you can show disrespect for a teacher and get in a fight and not be suspended like you were two or three years ago, and all be videotaped. Yeah, and it's so it is out of control. And the result is they're losing students and they and they, you know, they're scratching your head trying to figure out why. Really, it's it's pretty obvious. And no, man, I mean seriously, are they really don't understand why they're
losing students? I think they do. They don't want to talk about it, though, so they talk about, hey, you know, we need a new logo, we need a new mission instead of just doing the nuts and bolts. Yeah, we haven't really even spent time on the logo issue. Yeah, one hundred thousand dollars for a logo that a lot of kids could have done for fifty bucks on for me program. For me to argue that that is that's going to help when you've got all these other issues that
you want to dress. It's just it goes to show you where the focus is and the priorities, and it's it's a sad situation for the school system. Boy, there's a lot to be made of that logo story, trust me. Ten minutes after the hour We've got so much to cover. Steve Stewart, Talasa Reports dot Com, Preston Scott, Hello, Hello, anybody ho Hi fly on News Radio one hundred point seven double UFLA. There are easy solutions to a lot of this, but you have to have nerve,
and the nerve is just lacking. There is no backbone. Talking local issues here with Steve Stewart Tallhassa Reports, we segue from the Leon County School Board to the City of Tallahassee. I guess things got fun last night. They did a couple of issues, real issues here. First of all, charter amendments they've got. They went ahead and set the public meeting that they'll have for the proposed charter amendments, which deal with a one hundred percent raise for
city commissions, which I just don't get at this point. Did you see Jeremy Mattlow writing in and agreeing with you? Well, I except yeah he saw that. Yeah, commister Matt, I mean so, but in my opinion piece. You do know he supported this a couple of years ago. I've talked about it already. Yes, I mean it's amazing, it's amazing. So anyway, the charter miments three of them I think are good.
Pay raise is just you know, at this point is one hundred percent increase in salary without any kind of increased responsibilities or any requirements that it would be your full time job. So anyway, that's one issue. That issue is TPD headquarters. Uh, they got an update on this. You know, this is a complicated issue. We got everybody agrees, even progressives agree, we need a new police station one hundred and thirty five million dollars at the
Northwood Mall. We did a detailed story and went and looked at some comparables in South Florida. It's in the range because of the cost. But at the same time, when things you know, this has been a tortured process because twenty sixteen they were going to build it on in you know, South Monroe, delayed that. Then you got the COVID pandemic. He got inflation, So yeah, inflation big part of this. Yeah, but you know, I think it was a sixty million dollars seventy million dollars in twenty nineteen.
Now it's one thirty five. And again it's in range with some of the other police stations that are being built across the state of Florida. But you know, ten percent twenty percent change is thirteen to twenty million dollars. I think when this happens, you need to be very clear with the citizens and very detailed about why this is going up. I don't know that we're there yet on that, but this is where does that lie? Does that?
Does that lie with the city management? Does? I mean? But you know, again, the bidding process, the bidding process is going to start. He's put out an estimate of one hundred and thirty five million. They're going to be in May. They're going to start bidding out and hopefully there are some things that are starting to show costs or starting to come back down. Well, isn't that a mistake for the city to put an estimated
cost? That's the whole point of a bit. Well, there's there's pieces in part so I think that they're trying to put let people know what it's going to cost. But you know, there's some comments like, look, why don't we wait a year and see if these costs come down? Now? Yeah, you know, and so you know that could be something that we do. So I but but I'm sorry, that's just that bidding processes backwards Steve, you don't you don't tell people what you're willing to pay.
Well, again, Preston, when you've got fifteen, let's say fifteen pieces of that are going to be bid out, you're not saying that this is what we're gonna pay on this. But this is a this is a very high level estimate. Okay, so they'll be you know, it'll be bid out. But there are some concerns and I think rightfully so sure, but it's again, it's not a very it's a process that it's been that has come a long way, and I again I would argue that maybe you wait
a year. That's what what happens in the private sector. When you start to build an apartment complex or something and you see costs or going up. Usually business say, wait, well, we're not going to build this right now. We're gonna wait and see if things change. Homeowners do it all the time, they renovation. Wait, the price of wood is skyrocketing. Let's hold exactly, so this may be, you know, because that's a
lot of money. And again, if you could save now it is one hundred year building, it's gonna be it's gonna be a building going to last one hundred years, So anyway, I think it's a topic worthy of discussion. So anyway, that's the sort of the business side of this. But it got political last night again, a lot of speakers talking from the progressive side being very political. John Daly did call out Commission Mattlow for his constant
attacks on TPD and quote the planet evidence narrative. It's interesting to note that they seem to be moving back from that now because I don't think it's a winner for them, because it's clear that when you start accusing a TPD officer of planning evidence, you're accusing him of committing a crime. And I think there are a number of people that have, you know, behind the scenes, have talked to the mayor and said, look, this has got to
stop. And so he did address Mattlow. They got into a shouting match and then the meeting was adjourned. Much like accusing police of being cop killers exactly. I mean, it's the same narrative that their whole killer cops. Sorry, they are hoping to create a political issue ahead of the elections. I would say this one has failed, but it's a very messy situation, and of course the citizens always lose definitely. Steve Stewart with us from tal
Lash Reports. More to come here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. One last segment Steve Stewart at the website Tallas Reports. It's the only place you're getting reporting friends, Talasserreports dot Com. Yeah, all right, here we go quick, Jackporter last night, who she made it? This is a This is a great example of the politics of this. It's talking about everything except what we'll get to that in one mal So there was some flooding,
obviously because of the rain. Right so we had Jay Gaither our neighborhood. They had some flooding issues. They had set up a meeting for the commissioners to go meet with some officials there and they had a briefing and Jack Porter canceled her for briefing and then on the way I guess between then and the meeting texted or asked res Goad to send her the information, which he never got back to her. And I don't know the timing on this.
Well. Last night at the meeting, she trashs Reese Goad for not responding to her without saying that she had missed her briefing, though Mayor Daily noted commission Porter, if you would attend your briefings, then maybe you would be you would have the right information and you wouldn't have to ask for it. Sorry I'm being anyway. So the point being again that the city commissioners trying to highlight problems with administration that really don't exist. Okay, now onto the
whole progressive wing of things. Here we talked about the trips. Nobody is asking her about the trips she's taken to these local progress groups which is promoting progressive policies. Are none of the other commissioners asking questions about this? They have not started to ask it, But I wanted to give you some insight.
David o'keef, who was a Leon County commissioner and a part of the progressive wing, he did on his social media that he attended a left wing progressive conference in Atlanta that was basically headed by some BLM finder founders defund the police people. And it struck me that these two progressive members of local government, David O'Keeffe and Jack Porter, they choose to go to these conferences,
very partisan left wing progressive conferences. But what they won't go to is the Chamber conference which is a community conference where a lot of different nonprofits, businesses, elected leaders go to to talk about the issues that are affecting Tallahassee. They actually choose to trash that conference, don't go. But they will go to these left wing progressive conferences. Now, I can't say this strong enough,
but your listeners need to understand. I think that's a very important distinction of what the mission of the progressive element of the Democratic Party here is. They don't care about Tahassee. They care about getting this progressive element, this progressive policies into the state capitol. It's about affecting this community, it really is. It's not about tyle Hassee. And so you've got to understand this. And this is, I think is a big example, and we're going
to write about this because it struck me. Why are they choosing to go to these conferences. They'll fly to Tempe Arizona and Saint Louis, Missouri, or drive up to Atlanta, but they won't go to Amelia Island where we're discussing issues about Tallahassee. And you know you'll hear Commission Matlow talk about the Chamber conference being you know, it's developers and developers are corrupt this chamber conference. School board members go there, Roseanne Wood goes, Darryl Jones, you
know, we've got Superintendent Hannigo goes. So we have a mixture of the community that go there and they just detigrade the meeting and turn around and go to these other conferences. That is all you need to know about what they're mission is. So does Commissioner Malow not go to the chamber meeting? No, he trashes it. They and this is again what you have to look at is is he a member of the chamber. Yeah, I mean he's a local business. So let me tell you last night that the Tallivi's Talent
See Police Department headquarters is being built on the Northwood Mall. It's thirty acre site. I think the TPD is taking up maybe seven acres of that eight acres, So the rest of it's going to be opened up for other development. There's going to be like, uh, there's gonna be retail, there's gonna be mixed used. They're trying to put a community arts area there. So I think it was Commissioner Matlow or commission reporter made a motion that none
of the other land be sold to the private sector for development. In other words, they want the government to basically control all that. And then Commission Matlow made the point that maybe we should have a city run daycare facility there and so so to compete. Like so, I thought, maybe we should have a city run pizza restaurant there. No, and of course he'd be the vendor. Right, But we've you got to pay attention to these things
because this is rather this is not about democrat or Republican. This is about they want a trophy. They want progressives in charge of the state capitol of Florida. Sure, that is the goal, and they're getting help from the from the from national groups. All right, thanks for the update. That's you can there's a lot to shock about as we move forward. There were many fun episodes ahead. We'll be back next there. Thanks for what you're doing. Thank you, Steve Stewart. Subscribe, get the paper, it's
how you'll that's the only way you're gonna know what's really going on. And uh again to the to the aids and supporters of Jeremy Matt Loan, Jack Porter, thanks for listening. It's twenty seven past the hour, the Morning Show at Preston Scott Doctor David Heart's Little Optimum Health naturally in mere moments, try to help you feel better, but do so through natural means. However, Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grow, a creative
marketing and digital expertise. I want to focus a little deeper. I don't want to spend so much time on the fact that mortgage payments are at an all time high median mortgage payments. Biden calling for a forty four point six percent capital gains tax rate. Now, more than one person out there is suggesting that is really double taxation. It's just not fair, it's not right. This is government when they are hemorrhaging cash with bad spending. They are
desperate for every source of income. You know, the one thing I didn't say last hour that needs to be said. His twenty twenty five budget, Get This calls for five trillion dollars in tax increases over the next decade. Five trillion dollars of your money sucked out of the economy and put in the
government's veins because they've they've they're addicted. Government's addicted to your money. I want to get to judicial Watch. They receive five pages of records from the FBI Freedom of Information Act request to show in April twenty twenty email exchange with several officials in the bureau's Newark Field Office referring to doctor Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergies and Effectxious Diseases grant to the Wuhan Institute in China, including gain
of function research yes by name which would leave no signature of purposeful human manipulation. That is a quote from inside these emails. Judicial Watch obtained the emails the response to a May seventeenth, twenty twenty three freedom of information request for emails and text messages of the Newark Field Office Special Agent David Miller containing the terms gain of function, goof ore zero one a DASH one one zero nine
sixty four, and or eco health. The request was a follow up on uncovering the FBI Field Office investigation in Newark of the Fouchy agency's gain of function grants and so these documents, these are documents that tell you everything. The smoking gun documents showed the FBI quickly understood that Fauci's agency funded gain of function research that could disguise the resulting coronavirus as natural that's a summary by Judicial Watch
President Tom Fitten. These new documents further demonstrate the need for comprehensible, comprehensive criminal investigation into Fauci's Gain of function scandal. That's what Ran Paul has been talking about for years. Since it's all unfolded, and then there's bullet point after bullet point after bullet point of things inside these emails that point to the deception by Fauci, the underhanded dealings. And keep in mind, all of
this enricheder and damaged you. It exerted more control in your life by the federal government some of you, some of you are still wearing masks. That's an indicator of trauma that it's a it's a variation of a trauma that is called the Stockholm syndrome, where where someone who's kidnapped begins to sympathize with their abductors. It's a psychological thing that happens. You're wearing a mask because you believe what they've been telling you all this time. You're a victim. You've
been traumatized. And now we're starting to see, as we predicted, the evidence is coming out. Big stories in the press box on the Morning Show with Preston's Scott Scott mother no you wears her drape on news radio one hundred point seven. WUFLA. Let's get you feeling a little bit better naturally, a little optimum health naturally by doctor David Hearts, or with doctor David Harts. How you doing, friend, I'm doing well for using good morning,
Good morning. Let me ask you if I am hearing from more and more people just casually mentioned that, oh, they've got a migraine or they suffer from migraines. First question, is it becoming more common? Well? I believe it is. And research shows right now that almost fifteen percent of the people of the United States experienced migraines at some time another, So it's worldwide.
It's like one billion people, and it's very common. And I believe it is because it's probably somewhat related to all immune disease, and that is increasing quite crazy too. So I think you're right. I think it is actually becoming more more frequent. And how would how would you help someone determine whether they've just got a bad headache? And what differentiates a migraine from a
bad headache. Well, first of all, they're consistent, and if they if they occur over maybe you know, fifteen days or maybe say half the time of a month, you know, fifteen days within a month, then they're probably being caused by a migraine type headache. There's certain things. There's
ones that have ores to them and there's ones that do not. If you start to get any changes in visual acuity or you start sometimes people can get certain nue in parts of their bodies and so forth, those ones with aura,
and they're always usually migraine related. Also, sometimes sinus headaches can be what you think is a sinus headache is actually a migraine, which has been kind of interesting to you know, the sinus doctors themselves, because they're finding out that many times when they do surgery on some of the sinus people related symptoms, they're not getting results there they wanted. And they'll find out their migraines. So I think usually the consistency of them and how they hit.
Also, if they're really severe pain that hits you, then always you need to get a neurological evaluation if headaches persist. But many, many times these are migraine related. So what now is someone supposed to do? Okay, Well, there's certain triggers, and let's talk about some triggers that you can avoid. The triggers you can avoid some of these migraines, caffeine. Caffeine is definitely one. If you drink a lot of coffee or caffeine related beverages,
it can do it. Preservatives and food, you need to read the labels and just stay away from this stuff. We talk about this all the time for many different reasons, but especially nitrates and msgy those classic things there. They've got ways they kind of relabel these things. They don't call them straight out MSG natural flavorings. They've got away with being able to put that on it and almost put anything in it. So trying to get something as
natural as possible. Chocolate, red wine are certainly ones. And this is what I want to talk about. Most people won't think about, and we kind of harp on this a lot, but it causes a lot of problems. It's good old gluten gluten, and a good way to kind of remember with this would be BROWT b R o W, which is barley rye oats and wheat. Just stay away from this stuff for a while, give it a good, you know, a month, and see if your frequency of
your headache decrease. These are all things that stimulate automune reaction by leaky leak and these big proteins, the Gladden proteins through the walls of your's only one cell, you know, thick you're lining over your intestine, so as it gets through, it causes an automune reaction, it causes inflammation. It can trigger these things off. So try to eliminate them out of your diet.
Do a kind of a progressive elimination diet. Eliminate them over a perio of time, give yourself a chance, see if things change, and if they do, then continue to eliminate them. Just a few supplements really quick. B twelve excuse me, B two ribo flavor. It has been shown to decrease these consistently. Fever few, magnesium and co Q ten are all ones that seem to help. Also, good stuff and I'm sure real useful to a bunch of people out there. Doctor Arts is always thanks for the time
this morning. Okay, Preston, have a great day. Thank you, sir. Doctor David Harts with US Optimum Health naturally some help for migraine sufferers here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven Double You have la I just have to mention. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Democrat, vetoed a bill aimed at strengthening the rights of homeowners to evict squatters. She vetoed it quoting this bill fails to
leverage existing legal mechanisms respect the due process rights of lawful tenants. This has nothing to do with lawful tenants, you moron. You know what I was all about. I was contemplating making the Grand Canyon the theme of my road trip idea. This is the behind the scenes of this segment. But then I come across this, a blot pak on the state of Arizona. This woman that this, this governess that infuriates them, the liberals when you call
them by their their gender titles actress instead of actor governess. But really, what a maroon. This has nothing to do with the legal mechanisms. The legal mechanisms are for tenant landlord issues, not squatters. This bill addressed squatters and afforded them no rights because they shouldn't have any because they're not tenants. They do not have a lease, a rental agreement, ownership. They have broken in and are living in someone else's home or on their property. They
don't have rights. This bill would have allowed law enforcement to simply remove them. What a novel plan. I hope they're able to override this veto. But you know what, I'll provide my own veto. I'll not talk of the Grand Canyon in this segment today instead. Okay, I'm kidding. I was never going to talk about the Grand Canyon in this segment. But we do have a road trip idea on the road again. This inspiration comes from the book Unique America. I had no idea. Keystone, South Dakota long
way away. Don't just go to South Dakota for Mount Rushmore. I don't know if it was inspired by Mount Rushmore. But in Keystone, South Dakota, it's the National Presidential Wax Museum. Huh, it's epic. I don't know how big the thing is, but I can tell you the exhibit First. The website's impressive. Presidential wax Museum dot com open every day. They offer tours, self guided things, and I got to tell you the exhibits are kind of impressive. Some of them. They have a Donald Trump exhibit.
Come on, come on. They've got a US flag exhibit where some of the founders in wax. And they're really well done. I mean, this isn't dacky. They got a George W. Bush nine to eleven with the Fireman the Chief where Grat has the bullhorn in his hands. You've got the Yalta conference with Fdr Stalin and Churchill. You've got the Mount Rushmore unveiling, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Abraham Lincoln. They got all kinds of stuff. And they even have a little thing for
those of you that enjoy little wine and coffee. They have they have something called grapes and grinds. So it's open Monday through Friday, from March through May, from May through September, September through October, so I guess they close down in the heart of the winter. So they closed from November through the beginning of March. So check it out the Presidential Wax Museum. When we come back, more history, literally doctor Ed Moore, We've got We've
got more history on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Just in case Steve Stewart's still listening. The reason you didn't have sound in your headphones is you had it up. Whatcked? It just blew up? Doctor Ed Moore's eer canals by plugging it back in. Welcome friends to the third hour of the Morning Show with President's laughing. Over there at Studio one A is Grant Allen. I'm here in Studio one B, and I am joined by doctor Ed
Moore. Time for a little more history. Hello, my friend, are you I've already explained to everybody that that the we're going to go back to explorers and pioneers next month, that I can see how this happened for you after last month you just started you know, you know, we really ought to. So here we are. We're going to talk about Flora's cabinet.
Well, yeah, what prompted actually was a little changes that two people that I knew that served Florida both passed away within the last month, and I started thinking about them, and I actually worked in the cabinet process back when they served, and I thought it'd be worth all because so many people are here that weren't here, and that's what you realize. Florida's changed. And we'll talk about numbers later. But it's changed so radically since that time.
You mentioned Bill Gunner to people and they just go Bill Gunner, Who who is that the insurance office on thomas Ville Road. I mean, they don't have that sense. You mentioned Bob Graham even you think wasn't that long ago, But to a lot of people, it was that long ago because they weren't here. They lived somewhere else. And these guys served in a very interesting time. And I was fortunate to first work for the legislature when Bob Graham was a US I'm in a state senator from Miami Dade. And what
an interesting group of characters served during that era. There are people that have written books Golden Age and like to call that time framed Golden Age. You could also write a book called the Age of Corruption because of what was going on in Florida during that time frame, just within the cabinet itself. What
time frame would that be, I've said nineteen seventies. If you just clocked across the seventies, we're going to ask you got elected governor in seventies, and of course he never had one scandal involved him, but in his administration there were quite a few members of the cabinet. In those days, the cabinet was a seven member cabinet, all independently elected. Florida is the only state that's had that former government, where most states have a very very strong
governor, and we've moved towards that since that time. Really actually since the nineteen ninety eight constitutional revision took place in two thousand and three with term limits for everybody, change the nature of government in Florida. But in those days we always had termin Actually in the sixties and prior to the governor served only one term in Florida, and the cabinet members could serve for life, So we had a lot of people that were there for a very very long time.
So does your look at Florida's cabinet for today, are you focusing on those roaring seventies or are you going back to the very beginning. Well, we could go back to the beginning eighteen forty five. They created a government in Florida when Florida became a state, and you had cabinet positions then, but in those days, largely they served at the will of the governor, or served the governor. Even in the constitution that took place after the Civil
War when a new government was put in place basically inserted. Was it friends of the governor at the time or was it people that the governor said they were capable for the task. May not be friends, they might be friends both. It wasn't largely a meritocracy, Okay, you know it, you know. It was more like, oh you knew, yeah, hey, Preston, will you come help me out? And the people that you met, and that's how you formed the cabinet in those days. The public got
tired of that. From eighteen sixty five to the eighteen eighty five. We had a constitutional revision occurred in eighteen eighty five, and that's when you have the independent cabinet members seven from that time forward, and they all were all independently elected and conserve lifetime. You had to run for reelection, but it was tough to defeat them because they were the incumbents. They the incumbencies very strong. We're going to pick up right there, doctor edmore with us more
history here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Minutes past the hour of the Morning Show and doctor Ed Moore picking up with the change where we started. What were the seven cabinet
positions? What were they? What were they? Well, you had the governor obviously as the chairman of the cabinet, and you had an attorney general, you had a state comptroller, you had a Commissioner of Agriculture, you had the insurance commissioner, state treasurer and insurance commissioner, and a Secretary of
State. Wide range of people. One would have thought that generally, if you think about politics, people would run, say I'll run for Secretary of State and then serve awhile and then I'm going to be the US Senator or the governor or whatever. But that really isn't the case. Charlie christ and since the sixty eight nineteen sixty eight Constitution revision to now, Charlie Chris, I'm pretty sure, is the only one that was a serving cabinet member that
became governor. No way, Charlie are seeking another office. Well, and that's what he did and found he did what most people thinks happened happens with all of them, as Commissioner of Education, attorney General than governor. It's like kind of like the children's pastor, the youth pastor, the associate pastor becomes the pastor. You work your way up. You would think that would
happen. There's been three US Senators Graham, Bob Graham, and then Dick Stone and Bill Nelson that were served in a role on the cabinet and then became US senators from Florida. That's it out of all of those people over all that long period of time. So it's not necessarily that proving ground, training ground, let the people evaluate what kind of job you do, kind of thing doesn't happen that often. We're more and largely it's because of the
population shifts in Florida. In my view, Florida has changed so radically since the nineteen seventy election, and now that people that live here don't know who these people are. I mean they well, you dropped some names I'd never heard of. Yeah, well, you know, dick Stone was Secretary, Bill Nelson, I mean, next thing you're gonna tell me he was an astronaut. Yeah, he was an astronaut and now he's the head of the
Space program. You know, the kind of lateral arabesque. Yeah. Yeah, but got like dick Stone Secretary of State and then ran for the US Senate ran actually against Bill Gunner back then, and dick Stone ended up eking that out. I worked in that campaign. I knew dick Stone and a good man and did a good job, and Paula Hawkins beat him. I mean, paul Hawkins came off of the old statewide elected Public Service Commission that
had three public service commissioners. Paula was able to always be the no vote. She was a Republican and two old time Democrats. So when he came for rating increases and all those things that everybody hates, Paula would vote no. Everybody loved her. She went to the US Senate back in the day. And you define that however you want. Did the cabinet matter, Yes, it mattered a lot. It's what governed the state. A lot of
agencies. Back in those days, a lot of the state agencies were under the purview of the cabinet, Natural Resources, Environmental Protection, Department of Revenue. They were all cabinet agencies. There were thirteen fourteen agencies that function under Now we're down to four and there's four members and it takes only how do
you get a majority on a four person board? Well, you say, well, the governor has the weighted vote, So if the governor's on the affirmative side, he just needs one vote to get his way, and so that's what occurs frequently. Now. They still sit over a number of agencies and of State Board of Administration by example, it's the board responsible for managing the investments all the state money. Pretty big. I mean you're talking billions
and billions of dollars. Three of the four cabinet members sit on that. One Commissioner of Agriculture, No, they're not part of that. So it's an awkward structure. I'm an old cabinet guy. I like having those seven people there. I think that gives public a lot more access places they can go, they can I was going to say as large as government, I mean, granted, Florida as lean as any state government is, but that's in kind of per capita staffing. I would think you'd want more cabinet members.
Over the last thirty years or so, Florida has drifted towards the national norm of having a very strong governor and holding the governor accountable. I kind of like the diffusion and having more people engaged. But we're not there. We're going to keep talking about the Florida Cabinet in history here in the Sunshine State with Doctor ed Moore in the Morning Show final segment. Doctor had more and more history and the Florida cabinet no good. You'd asked before about consolidation
when we went from seven to four. Yeah, I always found that precipitated that uh goo goose. They call them good government type people. It's too much. We don't like the cabinet, let's shrink it down. Can't get rid of it at all. I find it interesting. One of the ones that survived out of all that was Commissioner of Agriculture stayed as a cabinet with four votes. They consolidated the Treasurer and the comptroller CFO put them together as
a CFO. Secretary of State got removed. If I were in a track or a mindset of running for office, probably one of the ones I would be best suited for him or of like being Secretary of State of Florida. The stuff that's within that agency, stuff that is a tremendous interest to me. But it's gone. It's an appointed position now, so you're down to four. We'll see, there's no real push anywhere to do any changes or
consolidation on anything that's there now. Is that because the perception is that Florida is well run and it's working. Yeah, and we have. We've gravitated towards a much stronger governor that works when the governor's doing things that you like and you want to have happen. And if you get a governor that we almost got two elections ago, that people would have scratched their husband. Go where's Florida going now? But right now, you know, if you're a
conservative, you like what's happening here. If you're not, it's bothering you. But there's still no real change. But it's pretty magnetic. They want to take the office back, but I'm not hearing anywhere. Hey, you know, we ought to get some other positions here. We can put our people in. You've had some diversity. Alex Sink is a Democrat, I mean there's been Would she be a Democrat today? By definitely? You know what I mean, conservative business person and that's what I'm saying. She wouldn't
fit inside that mold anymore, you know, I don't know. I mean it was an opportunity for her. She ran one nice lady, did a good job and it's gone. Nikki Freed was a Democrat on the as the Commissioner of Agriculture. Not a traditional person that you would think, but it was available and she took that position. Will there be a Democrat after the next election in Florida on that probably not. And a lot of those people that are sitting there, people are speculating they want to run for governor,
So what's going to happen? And they're termal limited, largely termal limited, so we'll have a pretty fresh slate. When DeSantis leaves office, You're going to see a lot of new cabinet members. And so that changed the nature. But first I want to talk about the numbers. I went back, he asked earlier eighteen forty five, when Florida became a state, we a mosely defeated Richard Kall in a governor's race three thousand, two hundred and ninety
five to two thousand, six hundred and seventy nine. State wide, that was it Miami Dade. Then it was just Dade Counties at Southwarner mostly won sixty to five. Do you think Florida's changed a little bit since eighteen forty five? Yeah? Yeah, And then when you go when you go. More recently, eighteen forty five, forty five, Florida had approximately sixty six thousand people, mostly across the top of the state in the Panhandle. Uh
so you know we've changed. When ASKI was elected in nineteen seventy, one million, seven hundred and thirty thousand plus votes were casts. One million, seven hundred and thirty Okay, we had a total population of six million, seven hundred and eighty nine thousand people in nineteen seventy six point seven million people. The Dasantas election in twenty two, Florida had twenty two million people. Seven million, seven hundred and twenty thousand people voted. Okay, seven million,
seven hundred thousand voted. When I ask you one, the state population was less than seven million. I mean, when you see numbers like that, it's a crazy affirmation that Florida is growing. We're probably netting people moving and coming, probably netting two hundred two hundred and fifty thousand people a year still, and we've been doing that for a long time. Where it ends
nobody knows, but all I see is development occurring. So I think that those desantus numbers of people seven million voting is going to be ten million voting soon. And I mean we're big players on a national stage. We still have yet to have anybody make that national stay, but I pray that it's coming. We need to be represented in DC by a president from our state. Love to see it happen. In my lifetime. We've had people try not so good so far. You're smiling at me, but you twenty three
million people in this state. We're growing, California shrinking even though they're still so big, they're still shrinking. You know, we're players. We should be players and continue to be players. The cabinet helped to build this state and created the environment. I think as a group, those strong people out of the seventies not the ones that went to jail, and a number of men ended up going to jail. Commissioner of Education, the state treasurer went
to jail. I mean, it wasn't all pure, but there were good people involved in to their credit, guys like Bob Graham and Bill Gunner served did well and stepped aside and stayed available and engaged. I've served on boards with Bill Gunner, nice wonderful man, and I'm sorry to see them go. Thanks for the time doctor Ed Moore with us this morning twenty seven minutes after the hour in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show with
Dreston Scans all right thirty five minutes past the hour. Tomorrow, Lee Williams, the gun writer, will join us in the Shortest Things to talk about it. He's got an update on the atf Arkansas story, got Florida Man, animal stories, Best and worst of the week headlines from the b busy. Friday's always as long as the news doesn't ruin it for us. That's so weird to say that's what we are. We talk about the news, but it's don't you want just a little respite? I know I do.
Anyway, Friday, we try our best, so join us time for the big stories in the press box and our thanks to Grova creative marketing and digital expertise before sponsoring our segment here. Housing Payments. The median price of an average mortgage payment is at an all time high. We are approaching three thousand dollars a month. Even if I wanted to go get a different house, find that big piece of land, there is no chance I could afford it.
Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it wouldn't be periodent. It's just you know, younger years I lived for my mortgage. Mortgage took up way too much of the budget. You can't. I mean, twenty seven seventy five is the median price of a house payment monthly now average in a normal car payment. Now you're now at thirty two thirty three hundred dollars a month on two payments. Multiply that over the year, and then factor in your utilities and different expenses and your food, and I mean, oh my goodness.
Part of this is the result of bad fiscal policy on both sides of the aisle for years. A lot of this is Joe Biden Obama, the regulatory change that you know, Trump could only do so much. He didn't have a lot of cooperation from the House and Senate, even when Republicans controlled it for what two years. He was dodging legal bullets even then as president in the form of Russian collusion and all that. The regulatory environments just crippling us.
We're over our head with debt. Biden now calling for a forty four point six percent tax on capital gains, the highest since its creation in nineteen twenty two. You could actually trace a lot of this back to when government realized they could squeeze people for money and get away with it. Judicial Watch. FBI records indicate Fauci agency funded Gain of Function Wuhan lab research would leave no signatures of purposeful human manipulation. It was intentionally done in a manner to
hide it. Anthony Fauci's fingerprints are all over the very disease that he was the czar advising not just Trump but Biden on again. Biggest mistake Trump made was not firing everybody when he came into the White House. Second biggest was putting Anthony Fauci as virtually the lone voice in this whole thing. When it happened, Trump got bad advice. Those are your big stories. Forty minutes
after the hour, come back with can AI predict political orientation? Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Story has been bouncing around for a couple of days. Some researchers are out there warning us that facial recognition technology is a lot more threatening than previously thought and pose serious challenges to privacy. Apparently, a study is determined that AI can successfully predict a person's political orientation based
on images of expressionless faces. The study was published in the journal American Psychologist. It says an algorithm's ability to accurately guess one's political views. Listen to this is on par with how well job interviews predict job success or alcohol drives
aggressively. That's the accuracy. The lead authors said. Five hundred and ninety one participants filled out a political orientation questionnaire before the AI captured what he described as numerical fingerprint of their faces and compared them to a database of their responses to predict their views. The author said, I think that people don't realize how much they exposed by simply putting a picture out there. We know that
people's sexual orientation, political orientation, religious views should be protected. It used to be different in the past. You could enter anybody's Facebook accountancye for example, their political views, the likes, the pages they follow. But many years ago Facebook closed this because it was clear for policymakers and Facebook and journalists that it's just not acceptable, it's too dangerous. But if you can still go on Facebook and see anybody's picture, this person you never met. They
never allowed you to look at the picture. They would never share their political orientation, and yet Facebook shows you their picture. And what our study shows is that it is essentially, to some extent, equivalent to just telling you what their political orientation is. I believe it totally. And you see it in the grocery store. You go to the grocery store and you just see like like, let's say, you know, you've got one depiction and it's
just like written all over their face. Right, they're kind of grouchy, you know, like I don't know how to do. There aren't words today. It's a more sophisticated version of my shopping cart. Yes, absolutely, liberals don't put shopping carts away. Nature actually tells us a lot, right, so listen now, they did this. They wore a black T shirt
adjusted using binder clip to cover their clothes. They removed all jewelry and if necessary, shape facial hair face wipes were used to remove cosmetics until no residues were detected on a fresh wipe. Their hair was pulled back using hair ties, hairpins, and a headband, while taking care to avoid flyaway hairs.
The facial recognition algorithm, which is called vgg face two, then examined images to determine face descriptors or a numerical vector based on the face data that's both unique to that individual and consistent across different images, and then they run that through their algorithm and determine that person's a moderate, that person's conservative, that person's illiberal, and then they go to the interview the questionnaire and they find
out, Yeah, they're right. Man, the world that's ahead. Look, I'm I know that God will come get me in his due time, but man, I'd sure be interested to see how this all unfolds. If it's allowed to. Forty six after the hour, let's do this final reminder for those of you in the Panama City Beach area that there was an incident
last week. It was reported to Panama City Beach Police. I've got independent reports from listeners who have who are retired law enforcement that they made effort to get a look at the police report and Panama City Beach Police was not cooperative. And so what I can tell you is Bay County Sheriff's Office is and they are involved in this. There's not a lot of actionable information. We
have an incident. There were people that saw some of what happened, but it was it appears as though there was a a coordinated effort to attempt to kidnap a small child from the beach in Panama City Beach. It was a public beach with parking across from it. And it's horrifying, but thankfully everybody's safe. If you missed yesterday's show, I'll only go so far as to say that they trusted me. It's not a news story. This is a
family that I have known since nineteen eighty seven. Their word is beyond reproach to me. I have a police report in my hands, and so I have shared without releasing names because I will not do that. That'll be up to them. They're frightened. They are frightened because this was it looked like a ring of internationals coordinating to attempt to abduct children. Yes, it's a
thing. This stuff happens, and so I feel a responsibility and given this platform to try to make a difference, to help and to improve people's lives and to keep you safe. And when there's something like this, it happens in any community that I broadcast to routinely. Look, I may not know the suburbs of any number of cities where my show's listened to an iHeartRadio. But I do have a responsibility in the broadcast areas of Tallahassee and Panama City
and the surrounding area. Is there. If we've got predators at working, if we've got a scam working, if we've got different things, I feel a responsibility to tell you about it and to try to keep you abreast of what's happening. So what I will tell you is that Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford very responsive to the report. He reached out to us. I have put him in touch with the family, and so thank you to the Sheriff's Department of Bay County, to the Police Department of Panama City Beach Police.
I'm sure some of you officers out there are awesome leadership organization. Inside. You've got some explaining to do. You just do and sorry if that hurts anyway. Until there's an update, that'll be the last that I'm talking about it of And then to just periodically remind you as the warm temperatures warm up, more people are going to the beaches. Be safe. If you have
children, in particular small children, be very very vigilant. I would say, even if you have high school aged children be very vigilant because human trafficking, sex trafficking, it's a thing.
