Well, fine, welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Morning Show with Preston's Got May seventh, first Tuesday of the month. Great to be with you. My sky scan atomic clock is malfunctioning. Got a brand new battery in it. Man, that's all right, those are trivial problems. He's grand Allen. I'm Preston. It's show fifty one fifty three, and our verse today comes from Galatians six, verse nine. Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give
up. People can pull individual scriptures to try to justify any number of positions. It's when you take scriptures in their entirety and you piece them together with other scriptures. You get theology, you get statements of faith. Anybody can cherry pick to justify a personal conviction that's gone on for centuries. People can take an individual scripture and justify darn near anything, from Old Testament to new
anything. For example, let us not grow weary of doing good see see it says here that if you do good works, if you do good things, see it says in due season, we will reap if we don't give up doing good works. See well, the part that is presumptive in this is that the reason you're doing good works is because you have become a Christian. Good works do not earn you salvation. But you can see with just one verse here how people can take a verse and turn it into their own
personal theology. This is what I believe. Whatever sport taken in totality, God's word makes it really clear you don't get the salvation through good works. Salvation should then provoke and promote and encourage you to good works, to do those things. Because you are now an ambassador of Christ, you're representing his
name. And so I just I want to warn you, because I have watched this for forty years now, longer people get wayward and get in love with their own theology, and so I caution you, friends, don't let that happen. More importantly to the verse today, don't grow weary of doing the right things, of being helpful, of being pleasant, of cutting no corners in your work, of being an ambassador. You claim a Christian status and you cut corners at work, What are you saying you cut corners at
school? What are you saying? You claim to represent Christ? You claim to be a Christian. You claim that, well, you're not going to grow weary of doing good. But if you start cutting corners, what are you claiming? What are you showing? What are you revealing? So a challenge to you today, don't grow weary of doing good. Do the right things. In due season you'll be rewarded. And that season can come on this side of eternity, that season could come on that side of eternity.
I don't know. That's not my place to determine. Just don't give up. Ten minutes past the hour, the American Patriots Almanac standing by. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston Scott, Hello, Hello, anybody? Oh hily on news Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA turn Mike on May seven. On this date in seventeen seventy five, George Washington was traveling north, having left his home at Mount Vernon, Virginia, to attend the Second
Continental Congress in Philadelphia. As he rode along, his thoughts were pulled in opposite directions. Ahead, war loomed. Fighting had broken out at Lexington and Concord. Behind him, at his beloved plantation, the fields were full of green wheat and newly planted corn, herring were running in the river, and the gardens were in bloom. He was not sure when he would be able
to return. Washington inherited Mount Vernon in seventeen sixty one from his half brother Lawrence, who had named the estate in honor of Admiral Edward Vernon, Lawrence's commander in the British Navy. The plantation eventually covered eight thousand acres, and the column house atop the bluff overlooking the Potomac River was one of Virginia's finest. It's an incredible piece of ground. It is truly incredible to look out
over that field and see the Potomac. Washington was keenly interested in farming, and never tired of trying to grow different crops and breeding livestock. He could not have known as he rode north that he would have to spend years away from his plantation, first as commander of the army, and then, of course later as president, quoting it is my full intention to devote my life and fortune in the cause we are engaged in, if need be, he
wrote his brother John in seventeen seventy five. But he always yearned for Mount Vernon When the long years of service were finally over, he happily retired to his home, quoting at the age of sixty five, I am recommencing my agricultural pursuits and rural amusements, which at all times have been the most pleasing occupation of my life and most congenial with my temper. This was written in seventeen ninety seven. Washington was able to live his last years at Mount Vernon,
where he died in seventeen ninety nine. He and his wife Martha are buried in a simple hillside tomb there. I've seen it. It's remarkable. Also on this date, ten years later, sorry earlier. He died ten years after this event. The first inaugural ball honoring George and Martha Washington held in New York City seventeen eighty nine. You move ahead to nineteen fifteen.
The German U boat sinks the British liner Lusitania off the Irish coast, killing twelve hundred, including one hundred and twenty eight Americans, which hastened our entry into World War One. Nineteen forty five German surrenders. German forces surrender to the Allies in France, bringing an end to World War II in Europe. The E Day nineteen fifty seven, JFK awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Profiles Encourage. Nineteen ninety two, the twenty seventh Amendment bar in Congress from giving itself
a mid term pay raise is ratified. Oh my, sixteen minutes after the hour. Cat owners, listen up, all, I'm gonna tread carefully here. I'm disclosing on the front end what many of you already know well. I will always be kind to animals that are not trying to kill me. I will never be mean to a cat, unless it's a faro cat that's burying its tongue, its fangs and trying to attack me. I'm not a cat lover. I'm just not. They creep me out. But again, I'm kind to animals. If a cat comes up to me. We have
a neighborhood cat. If she comes up to me, which she will do, I will pet her, and then she'll go on her way to do whatever she does, which is probably useful taking care of vermins that we don't want. But what I'm sharing here is meant to be helpful to you.
So I'm just the messenger. It's not my Message. Researchers have published Inside of Schizophrenia bulletin and found that people who are exposed to cats may have more than double the chances of developing schizophrenia and other similar mental disorders later in life. Australian researchers University of Queensland conducted a systematic review of seventeen different studies from
eleven countries performed within a forty three year window. That's pretty broad. All the studies focused on participants who owned cats in their first twenty five years of life and experienced schizophrenia related outcomes. Psychotic symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders. Lead researcher doctor John McGrath said, based on past studies, there's evidence linking cat ownership and an increased risk of subsequent schizophrenia. That
gets interesting. Previous research linking cat exposure to schizophrenia focused on something called toxoplasma gandhi, which is a parasite that can cause a feline disease called toxoplasmosis. While observational epidemiology cannot prove the link, the study shows that the topic warrants detailed research. It is important to keep a level head and consideration of the findings, They write, there is no need to panic if you own a
cat and have children or are thinking about starting a family. But there's a lot that is unknown. It's important to highlight that not all people who are exposed to cats are infected with this particular parasite develop mental health issues. Not all people with schizophrenia have had cat exposure. But there is a bit of smoke as it relates to ownership of cats, regular exposure to them, and schizophrenia and other mental disorders. Now, I would probably lean towards the idea
of there being some parasitic thing involved here. I'll just tell you that if there's an animal in the domesticated world of animals that generally do not display any level of schizophrenia, it would be a cat. Cats are mellow, generally very cool, as in, would you please sit down so I can lay on your lap? Thank you. Cats are just chill. Now, if you were to ask about schizophrenia, I could point to a dozen breeds of
dogs that distribute traits of schizophrenia that that make me laugh. And as I said, this is just I'm just here to help, so don't write me the hate mail. I'm not a cat fan. I would never be a cat owner personally. Ever, Ever, I would own a bird before I would own a cat, But I doubt I would do that either, because they're just nasty. And although I once thought of getting an African gray because they're just brilliant birds. I just yeah, no the cages, Yes,
yes, not down with that. All right, we're gonna come back. We got the breaking stories that are out there as it relates to what's going on the Middle East. We've got other things that are in the press box, so we'll do the big stories, get you caught up on some things, and set up the rest of the show. Next the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, let's get to the big stories in the press
box, brought to you by Grova Creative Marketing and Digital Expertise. Do not allow yourself to buy into this nonsense of Hamas has agreed to the terms of
an Egypt broker ceasefire. This is all posturing. Israel gets it. They dropped leaflets, They conducted a military operation in the city of Rafa yesterday, particularly the gate at the eastern side of the city in Gaza, and they are rooting out these people Rafa is a stronghold for Hamas terrorists, and I'm going to remind you as you hear these stories of negotiations for hostages, where
are they, how many are left? This is absurd and Israel is not accepting the terms, and so they are conducting their prosecution of this battle as needed. Sadly, because of the tactics of these terrorists, where they locate themselves in hospitals, in civilian centers, in amongst housing developments with families, there are always going to be collateral damage. There will be people that are
innocent civilians that are killed. This is one of the things that allows you to separate the acts of a a body that is conducting a military exercise versus terrorists. Nations do not bury their military installations in amongst the civilians. Certainly, they are bases that have towns around them. But if someone wanted to conduct a military strike on military bases in America, they know where to aim. Terrorists don't do that, if you will, they don't fight fair.
They're terrorists. This is how they operate. So Hamas claiming they've agreed to a cease fire negotiated by Qatar, cutter whatever, how do you say it. I've heard it pronounce fourteen ways. I don't know, depends on the day. Yeah, just ignore and ignore what John Kirby says, Ignore what Biden says. Biden's a jerk. He's a senile, evil old man. Another big story in the press box. Florida number one in domestic tourism,
number two in international tourism. In fact, domestic tourism jumped a full point from twenty two to twenty three. It's the largest increase of any state. California experienced a notable decline. New York experienced a notable decline. Trying to get Dana Young from Visit Florida on the program Soon to talk about this. Clearly, if the numbers are down at Disney, and Disney claims they are
that their revenue at their attractions is down. And you know, I don't necessarily know how much of that is Florida, if any of it, but it could be the California thing. I don't know, but it makes you wonder if the entire state is benefiting. That's been one of the things that I've really I believe is important about visit Florida is the importance of spreading it around Beyond the theme parks. There are a lot of reasons to visit this
state. There are a lot of cool towns in Florida, and that's good news. And it is hurricane preparedness. It is important that you remember to just kind of get your ducks in a row, check your evacuation zones, you know, have a plan where your documents, where would you put them in the event of a storm. Just some of that stuff. Well, we'll spend time later on this month going through a little bit more of an exhaustive checklist just to kind of help you out, especially because there's so many
new people into the state. They don't really know or understand the storms happen. We have years where we have virtually nothing impact Florida. We have years where we've had multiple storms impact Florida. It will come and go. This is expected to be a busy season because of La Nina. It's a lnin yes season, so that means active Atlantic golf basin. So there you go. Come back with man, why go? Preston Scott does mother no whereth her dres on News Radio one hundred point SEVENUSLA. I knew it? Caro
writes in very angry with me. That's ridiculous. I've had cats all my life. No you haven't. Go away. I'm the one writing this. Okay, Now, that wasn't the best constructed note to try to suggest you haven't been impacted by owning cats. Seriously, that's ridiculous. I've had cats all my life. No you haven't. No, you haven't had cats my whole life. Yes, you're correct, Go away. I'm the one writing this. Was that to her cat? Go away? I'm the one writing
this was your cat offended? Look, Hey, I told you I'm the messenger. Don't get mad at me. That's what the research was saying. Hey, next hour, we will take calls who should Trump pick as vice president? And not so much if you have a name, that's fine. But if you're Trump, do you go for votes? There's a lot of talk of Trump play in the middle. Do you go for policy? A true bonafide conservative, he's as close as we've got out there that hates the
swamp, which I'm good with. Is there somebody that checks both of those boxes? I don't know that there is. I don't know that there's somebody quote in the middle that would check both of those boxes. So we'll take your calls, your suggestions. Next hour, third hour, US congress Woman cat Camick will join us, and yes, we will talk about the anti Semitism bill. She did vote for it. I'm going to do what I do. I'm going to give her an opportunity to explain why. I'm likely
not going to agree with her reasoning, but I'm going to listen. Got a manly minute and more still to come as well. I asked the question before the break. We were just talking about tourism in Florida, how good it is in the Sunshine State. Why would anybody go to Mexico. I don't get it. I don't know if you've seen the latest story, two Australians and an American on a surfing trip Baja California were killed. Their bodies were found dumped in a well in the middle of who knows where, allegedly
because thieves wanted the tires from their truck. Apparently there was a fourth body found there that had been in there a lot longer inside the well, so this was apparently a dumping ground. I mean, these are two dudes from Australia that loved the surf and they decided to catch some way. I mean two brothers, Jake and Callum Robinson from Australia, an American jack road camping
in surfing trip along a stretch of of Baja Mexico. Authorities theorized killers droe Bi saw the foreigners pickup truck and tents, wanted to steal their tires. But when they think that, the three of them heard and caught them, and so they shot and killed them. Yeah, it's great country to visit between the cartels and crap like that. And I'd be shocked if these guys weren't connected to the cartels, because that's just kind of everything there. Why
go. I wouldn't if I were in the World Cup, I wouldn't go. If I were a golfer playing in a PGA event there, I wouldn't go. I would not go to Mexico period. I wouldn't do a stopover in the airport. No, we got high school kids in parts of the country taking trips there. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on news Radio one hundred point seven WFLA research assistant making me aware. Peter Navarro, former Trump
advisor, trying to avoid prison for contempt of Congress. Chief Justice John Roberts denied his request back in March. I think they tried again just last week or so, and Gorsich referred the request of the full Court. Had a closed door conference back maybe about ten days ago. They denied without comment. Here's what's interesting. US Congressman Matt Gates wants to interview him. The judge
will not allow it. Matt Gates on Twitter. I was informed today by the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons that my request to interview Peter Navarro would be denied. Not a judge, but apparently the director of Federal Prisons. Her reason was that Peter Navarro is quoting too notorious to be interviewed by a member of Congress. He then writes one line, John Gotti was interviewed in prison doing four months, apparently for refusing to appear before the January sixth
committee. Can you blame him? That committee was a sham. January sixth is going to go down as potentially a turning point in this country's history, where where we really started to jail political dissidents. Now there again, there's there's there's some rightful punishment being doled out, but most of it is not all right. Let's set up the phone segment here. There's a lot of discussion over who should be chosen as the vice presidential pick to run with Donald
Trump. Does it matter? I would think it does. At Trump's age, I think it matters. That's what's so horrifying about Kamala Harris Biden's condition. It matters who the vice president is. And she is a train wreck. She is painfully ignorant, and boyd does that speak to the actual value of a college degree for some people? Oh my gosh, she's the poster child for being ripped off for whatever she paid for college. Now I'm asking
you, should Trump go for votes. He's being advised by some to pick the middle of the road candidate, someone that's kind of a moderate damn Republican to secure of the middle. Some are saying, no, he's got to go with policies, someone that's aligned with his policy vision. Some think there's a both out there. I don't know who that might be, but I'd love to hear from you. Eight five zero two zero five w FLA if
you have a name, that's fine, but more interesting to me. Do you want them to go for votes or policy or do you think there's someone that fills both eight five zero two zero five w FLA five minutes past the hour. It is Tuesday in the morning show. Good morning, I'm President's Grant and we're taking your calls this half hour. I want to ask your thoughts because it's now ramping up. Donald Trump is going to be the nominee. They can do all they want to try to stop this from happening.
It's not going to He will be the Republican nominee to retain the office of president. Retain, you know what I mean. A lot of people feel as though he needs to pick somebody that's going to help him with people that are in the middle. Trump's dislikes from a personal perspective are very very high. Most people choose Trump because of policy, and so one thought out there is that he's got to pick somebody that is acceptable to the middle of the
country. Another thought is, no, he needs somebody that is strong conservative in policy. He has to pick somebody that could be president. There are those that think there might be a silver bullet candidate out there that can do both of those things. What's most important to you and who do you think might be? If you had a name throw a name out, you don't have to, and just share what's most important to you. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA one line is ringing now, which means all are taken.
Jay, Thanks for being patient. So what are your thoughts on this vice presidential pick? Preston? Thanks for taking the call. So I'm coming at it from a different view ofka. There's nobody out there that's going to bring the middle to him, nobody, So I want somebody that can at least articulate a conservaive policies and make it possible for others to consider. That
would be Newt Gingridge. He's older, he's wise, he would be there for four years, He's not a threat, He's not Trump's next president. New it would be great. And as a bonus attorney general Ron decentis you'd be willing to give him up as governor of Florida. I would if he was the attorney general. Fair enough, all right, Jay, thanks very
much. Interesting thought. Not all think that Newt is a bonafide conservative, but that he certainly can articulate the policies and holds most positions that a conservative would. But that's a great, great thought. Gerald, Thanks very much, for calling her. Good morning, Thank you for letting me call. Just three names right off the top, and a three different you know,
would be and we don't know. We don't know who actually Donald Trump has talked to now one one guy would be Kennedy, The other guy would be Rick Santorum. I don't know what he's doing. And the third guy would be darryl Isa from California. Just just off the top of my head, and just after a few thoughts, that's what I would suggest. Let me ask you this, what's more important to him to shore up votes or to have someone that's a policy kind of buddy with him. He don't need anybody.
Everybody's going to vote, He's going to vote for him. I think policy is probably really important. That's why I go with like Santorum or Ia from California. You don't know if they want it or not, or if he's talked to him, and we don't know. We don't know that, you know, but next in line to the presidency is really important. Thank you, Gerald. I appreciate the phone call. Patricia Linda Ray, you are next? What about you? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA Trump's
vice president, just taking your thoughts This Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Eleven minutes past the hour. Your calls, who if you have a name, or what do you want a vice president presidential candidate to bring to the table. Patricia, thank you for waiting your thoughts. More, good morning. A quick comment on your first
caller. Excellent thoughts on his part. Although I don't want to lose Rodna Santis and I do believe that Trump would get a strong attorney general, so I'm not too concerned about that. But my thoughts are he definitely needs somebody that's going to bring votes. And I heard Taulcy Gabbard interviewed the other day, and I think she would be an one pick for him. Okay, tell me this, when when you talk about Trump's surrounding himself with you,
you mentioned he'd pick an exceptional attorney general. Do you think he learned that lesson from his first time in office? Because he had a revolving door in most of his cabinet positions and he seemed to make some mistakes there. I think that's part of it, But I think the other part of it is what he's going through right now. Just the fact that he's go ahead. He's got to get he's got to get strong people in there that will that will support the law and not the I mean he he got. I don't.
I don't really understand what happened the first go round that he could not keep people in there. I think he's he's just such a demanding person and uh, he's not willing to accept other people's thoughts. Maybe I'm not sure what happens, but I think he definitely learned a lesson the first time around. Thank you, Patricia, appreciate the phone call. Let's go to Linda High Linda, Hi, Preston, I definitely think it needs to be someone
who has strong agreements in policy, policy over potential votes. Do you think it matters? Do people care who the vice president's going to be? No? Does it matter with the agent? Let me say this, I think a lot of people maybe do, but I think most people don't pay any attention to that. They don't look back at history and though they were choosing differently at the time of Lincoln. I think Johnson becoming the next president after Lincoln is a real red flag for us. But I you know, any
president can die from a heart attack or anything. And I definitely think that if we don't have someone who's going to stand the policy that Trump displayed in his first time, that we'll just start down the slippery slope again. And so I do. I think the policy is more important. I wish it would be our governor. I know that won't happen, but strong policy to me. Thank you very much, Linda, appreciate it. Let's go to Ray. Hi. Ray, appreciate your patience. All Let's think outside of
the box. Somebody that is politically connected with like a dynasty family. We need somebody that has business experience, and we need somebody that appeals to Joe's six pack, that has the everyman qualit two words under Biden. You know, truthfully, Ray, I knew you weren't gonna let me down. I knew it. I have a great morning. I honestly don't know who it should be, because well, what matters more policy or votes at this point? Honestly votes? Yeah, yeah, fair enough, I thank you,
appreciate that. Let's go to Margaret. Hi. Margaret, you're up. Hi. I have been listening to Marjorie Taylor Green and she is a true Trump supporter, and she has very good she can articulate all the things that we need, and she's very good, and I think she'd be a great vice president. Thank you very much, Margaret. Some people view her as radioactive and toxic some, but then that's what how some people view Trump. Frank, final caller in the segment, what are your thoughts? Hey,
good morning dressing. I'm surprised I hadn't heard it yet, but General Mike Flynn would be my first big and then carry Lake second, and Ron Iss and the third and only reason. Third because I want to miss my governor. Yeah, yeah, I hear that, Frank. Thanks very much, appreciate the phone call. Carry lake Is would not be a wise choice. In my opinion. She can't. She's she's become the Charlie crist of Arizona. Let me win an election, please, I want to run for everything.
Let me win. She's and and I can't explain the why. I'm just telling you in Arizona, she's, she's. She's Yesterday's news, which is rather ironic. More of your calls, we have lives open. If you want to join us Trump's vice presidential pick votes policy. Who do you have as a name or set of names eight five zero two zero five to BFLA, I have perused a bunch of different sites because it seems as though
the mainstream media is so predictable. Speaking up tomorrow on the program, in response to an email question, had a listener ask, could you please give us a little background to where, when, why the mainstream media went dead left? I can point to some things that I observed when I was younger, but I'm bringing in someone that might have a little better historical perspective.
Rob Bluie is the executive editor of The Daily Signal, which is the news outlet for the Heritage Foundation, and so he's going to join me tomorrow and we're going to talk through in the third hour of the program how it all went wrong, Why did it go wrong? When did it go wrong? Where did it go wrong. We're going to go through that, and that's coming up tomorrow on the program. But as I as I go through, and I've got emails coming in, Laura writes in, Mike Pompeo. No,
Laura, not Mike Pompeo. Because Mike Pompeo, first he's a he's a warhawk. Secondly, he was in the CIA when they were holding information from Trump. He was part of that. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephen Miller appreciate the email president at iHeartRadio dot com. Tulci Gabbard. Uh, let's see Garland writes, Sin said, Uh, Tulci Gabbard, Candace Owens. Candice has kind of gotten mean spirited. I like her, but but I've noticed a real mean streak in her. And I get it. She's been
mercilessly attacked, but I've there's something that comes out of her. Sometimes it's a little unbecoming. But then you know, look at trum right. But here's a list kind of a a combo list of of a lot of the media outlets sort of aggregated together. You've got Tim Scott of South Carolina. Grant's just shaking his head, closing his eyes. The that Gramaswami, he'd be a great press secretary, think about it, a spokesman. He's good at that. Christy Nome, Nope, she honestly she shot her chances.
She did. Pun intended very much so, but she did. She ended it right there. She's she's toxic. Now. I'm not saying that's right or wrong nothing. I'm just saying that's the reality. Byron Donald's now he wants to be governor. That'd be interesting. Tulsey Gabbard's on this list. Jd Vance of Ohio. That's the only one that even remotely gets me interested. Jd Vance. Marco Rubio's on this list, Marjorie Taylor Green's on this
list. Elist. Stephanic of New York is on this list. Katie Britt of Alabama, the one who did the State of the Union response and that was so cringe. Yeah, it was cringe. But she's sharp, she's she's bonified. Sarah Sanders. I generally think most of the best and brightest that we've got should stay in their positions at their state levels. Yeah, you got Glenn Youngkin and we're understand this on this list. Yeah. Nicky Haley, Oh that would and that would actually entice me to not vote.
Now, you can't do that. But if you want people to not vote for Trump, you pick Nicky Haley. That's what you do. But it's Trump's pick, and that would be a catastrophic mistake. He that would actually be an indicator that mistakes have not been learned. And I don't think he's gonna do that. But what you need and a vice president is someone who's going to take that agenda whatever America first, and dispense it through the entire
Washington apparatus. So you're going to need a degree of loyalty to the America first, that that thing that's kind of kicked off this entire movement, Trump being kind of like the morning star of that movement. Not hardly any of those names have any kind of gravitas to be able to actually withstand the onslaught that's going to come from the bureaucratic regime that's just throwing the book at Trump
right now. Should a calculus be I need to pick someone that is capable to be my successor and be president in four years possibly win because most vice presidents most they're not they're not presidential material, they're losers pretty much. So you need someone out of consideration, someone with a degree of loyalty, someone with a degree of gravitas and strength. Possibly, yeah, I'd say so, But someone who's also willing to not stay at their state level post.
That's important. Does it have to be someone who's in government? Not necessarily, And I'm not leaning towards Vivek Ramaswami, trust me, But I'm just saying, is there anybody you know? Someone mentioned Newt Gingrich, not Newt. I wouldn't personally support the idea, but I mean it wouldn't cause me to not vote for Trump. But someone liked that that's got some game, but is out of the game. Who would that be? All right? All right, No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Just thos
Well. It was an interesting half hour talking vice presidential picks. Who may or may not be a good candidate. I'm still getting email a lot of different suggestions. Devin Nunius, This one likes Byron Donald's Ben Carson, but we've theorized he's just way too good. A guy. Got to have a little bit of a little bit of that in you to be in Washington in that capacity you've got, You've got to be willing to to fight. He's just a nice guy. We've had him on the show. Delightful guy.
Alan West, interesting choice. He's kind of falling off the radar. Do we know why. I don't know why. Yeah, maybe just decided to seek a quieter life. Who could blame him? Yeah, I don't blame him. The negotiations. Big stories in the press Box, brought to you by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertise Hamas playing the game. Yes, we'll engage in a six weeks cease fire in return for for what what exactly? Let's let's go ahead and let's have some Red Cross people, some observers go
in there with some cameras and let's record the hostages. Let's see how they're doing, Let's see what's happened, Let's get some thoughts from them on their captivity, and then we'll see how we go about negotiating telling you all this. John Kirby, spokesman for the Pentagon. There's been a response from a mosque to the hostage deal. Allegedly they're saying absolutely, yes, we agree. We're currently reviewing that response. We're discussing with our partners in the region.
Won't be able to comment, me mean, your partners in the region. Honestly, who cares what the United States says? At this point? Do you really think Israel cares? Totally different subject? It is national it is Hurricane repairedness week here in Florida. I was gonna say national hurricane. No, And of course they've got tax free holidays coming up where you can buy your hurricane gear. June first is one and the other is August twenty
fourth. If it were me and you were new to the state, I'd get my list Florida Division of Emergency Management, find out your evacuation zones depending on where you are in the state of Florida where you're listening to the show from. But if you're new, get that list and pay attention to it, and I would divide it in half, and I would get some of it in June, and I would get some of it in August. Is there likelihood of a storm prior to September? Yeah, it can happen.
It's more likely in August than June or July, but it could happen sooner. We are in a La Nina period, which means there is greater likelihood of storm development in the Atlantic Basin, off the coast of West Africa on over and in the Gulf. And as we've seen, storms can develop pretty quickly. But yes, this could be a busy storm season. It might not be. We just it's the weather. Though Al Gore will let never admit it when he said and predicted in his movie that we would be in
the worst run of hurricanes in Man's history. We didn't have any hit Florida for like better than a decade. So what it's the weather? Okay. All I'm telling you is, if you're new to the state, make some decisions to get some gear together. We'll help you with that. As we get a little closer. Forty one past the hour, Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott May in a minute, a little bit the US congress
Room, a caccamick in the third hour. One more big story. Florida remains number one destination for tourism for those who live in America, number two for internationals. Interesting largest gain in twenty twenty three went to Florida domestic tourism up a percentage point. Meanwhile, California lost one in two tens percent. New York saw a near one percent loss. Florida leads by a substantial margin, boasting a two point seven percentage rate over California as a preferred destination for
American travelers. Now, why would that be? Why would people that want to engage in domestic tourism choose Florida over California? Anyway, this caught my eye. I don't know if you're familiar of the Hymns and Hers company. The founder is a guy named Andrew Dudham. Mister Dudham had this to say about the protests on college campuses, and I quote from his Twitter post,
moral courage is greater than a college degree. If you're currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people and for your university's divestment from Israel, keep going. It's working. There are plenty of companies and CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline. Now, shortly after he made that post, the stock value of his company dropped eight percent. Investors were not happy with him, so he engaged in some public relations to try to neutralize the free
fall. He said that his comments have been misconstrued by some. Just for a second here, how do you misconstrue moral courage is greater than college degree. If you're currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people and for your university's divestment from Israel, keep going, it's working. Is there any ambiguity about that? Is there any confusion whatsoever? I believe the Warner Brothers cartoon term for that would be what a maroon. I'm just I'm in awe that
people are buying this, not his products. His companies are telehealth and prescription medications for issues like hair loss, skin problems, other personal problems. Guys know what I'm saying. Anyway, how is any of what he posted misconstrued? Forty seven minutes after the hour, I think not. What do you know about celebrity political athlete roasts? They were pretty common in like the twenty tens, Like on Comedy Central they did like a roast of Trump. One
year they did a roast of And what's the idea of a roast? For those that may not be aware, it's just basically the time where you can just absolutely teartor shreds. You make fun of them, and you make fun of whoever. The person is welcome, like they there's someone that accepts to being roasted, you know, like years ago it was Trump, Trump accepted, I will be the roasted party. And comedians, celebrities, athletes,
people that friends, family. Yeah, they would go on stage and it was broadcast live on like Comedy Central or Netflix or whatever, and you just roast them. And to conclude the roast, the roasted party would go to the stage and return fire. Yes, pay back roasts had been going on for decades. Entertainers Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Don Rickles, you name it. The names just off the end of the time, just flow. So apparently a comedian named Jeff Ross is hired to be the
roastmaster of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. And apparently Tom Brady didn't like some of the things that he was saying. Right after he made a comment about Brady being drafted and something about offering massages, he walks up and it's picked up by the microphone and says, don't say that bleep again. And you can see the comedian go putting his hands up like, oh, okay, okay, okay, Tom, it's a roast man. Don't be a loser. Yeah. I will predict now that he will not do well as
a commentator on television. He is way too thin skinned because the minute he has a slip up on the broadcast and he will it's gonna happen. Happens to everybody, and social media catches wind of it. Oh, it'll be recorded and played and memed and put on rinse and repeat over and over and over exactly, and you have to just be able to be the meme, you have to be able to take it. Clearly, he did not listen to the Manly Minute segments here on the Morning Show at Preston Scott because Tom
Brady might be a goat, but he's not a man. Come on, buckle it up, Tom Virtue skills. Things to teach your son. I'm going to expand on this at the appropriate age. Get your son a pocket knife. Assuming your son is emotionally stable, get your son a pocket knife. You can get one of those Swiss pocket knives with all the little gadgets and show him how to use each and every one. But there are things
that you can teach your son to do with a pocket knife. And I think every boy should have a pocket knife and should be taught how to use one properly, safely. Remember this is all about looking at your son one day as he grows and say to your elf, NTM, you sir, are a fine man. Makes me tear guy, Just think Manly Minute Morning Show with Preston Scott come back. US Congresswoman Kat Camick joins me next. Got lots of things to talk about. No shortage of topics. We'll do
that next. It's our number three show, fifty one fifty three of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, our number three. Hello, ruminators near and far. Thanks so much for making time. We appreciate it. Don't take it for granted. Ever, He's grand. I'm Preston. It's the Morning Show with Preston's gott. Great to be with you, and please stand back with US. US congress Woman kat Camick, Florida's third congressional district. How's the campaign going, Kat, Well, I wouldn't know. I'm
up here in Washington, d C. Back at it again. Yeah, let's talk about that. You laughed? Is that one of those laughs that we laugh when we're just trying to keep from crying. Absolutely. I mean, I think if you look at the state of affairs today, no matter who you are or what your job is, it is clear that we are worse off today than we were four years ago. And it's just so sad how quickly things can fall apart when you have the resident in chief rather than
a true commander in chief. So we are basically working to pick up the pieces and put the House and the Senate in a position that's going to be great for when President Trump gets back and we can get right to work, because we will have four years, if you really think about it, only two really where we can do significant work in getting this country back on track. How important is it kat that we do this the right way as opposed to a bunch of executive orders. I mean, I think that's what we're
seeing play out right now. You have so many of the incredible things that President Trump did, they were done via executive order, which means it's not codified. And when it's not codified, meaning the Senate and the House don't come together and actually make it law, then it just goes away because the minute that the administration turns over, as we have seen, the first thing
that the incoming president does if he overturns all those executive orders. And we saw how smug Alejandro Majorcis, the Secretary of Homeland Security, was when he bragged about we took ninety one executive orders off the books that President Trump had had put on the books in order to secure the order. I mean, it's the reason why the founders envisioned article on the way they did, where the People's House had the most power because then it was a lasting impact.
It was deliberate, it was thoughtful, and it was long lasting. This four years eight year turnovers that we're dealing with, it sends ripple through the industry, through our economy, through the world. No one can plan on anything except for uncertainty in the current system that we have. So getting back
to regular order is a very, very big deal. The new problem that I'm seeing come up though with the Resident of the United States is that even when issues are settled legally, i e. The Supreme Court student loans, Yeah, he continues to I think, break the law and flout his authority. And we're seeing this continuation. So how do we stop that? I mean, clearly the way to do that is you impeach them, or you
or you exert the power of the purse. And at this point, the House is not doing what it needs to do to exert the power of the purse and wield the power of the purse. And we don't have a willing partner in the Senate because they just stop everything. They let we'll send things
over and then they just sit on them. And you know, we're getting ready to go into another appropriation season and I was in a meeting last night and we were going through some strategy about this, and there's talk again once again about a CR. And the fact that you have so called conservative saying we should do a CR makes my blood boil. I know for sure people in Florida did not send their representatives to Washington to just put a rubber stamp
on Nancy Pelosi's policies and spending. I sure it's hecton And the notion that we're just going to see r it again is absolutely ludicrous to me because what they don't realize is they're saying this because they think they're going to get a one percent cut in there is it actually cuts because it's based on twenty three levels, twenty twenty three levels, it will cut defense and it will actually
increase discretionary spending. Why would in the world would we ever give more money to Biden's government of doj FBI, DOE, both, doees, EPA, oh show. Why would we ever do that? That makes no sense. But I think there's a sense here that people care more about getting back to the campaign trail than actually doing the work they were hired to do. US Congress Roman Kat Camick with us. Two more segments still to come. A lot. Just stay with us here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott's on news Radio one hundred point seven WFLA on NewsRadio WUFLA Panama City dot Com. She represents a lot of the central portion of the Sunshine State, Florida's third congressional district. US Congresswoman Kat Camick with us. She's kind enough to make time once a month to talk over things. Kat. I'm puzzled because I'm not convinced that if Republicans take the House and the Senate, they're gonna be anything but an obstructionist to President Trump,
assuming he gets re elected. There's just this insiders club that seems to exist. I think Kevin McCarthy was part of it. I thought Paul Ryan was part of it. I thought John Bayner, Mitch McConnell, they're all part of this little club with Pelosi, Schumer and the others. How do we break this cycle? Because I had high hopes for Mike Johnson, but it just doesn't seem like he's got the will to do what's necessary to move the pendulum. Yeah, it's such a weird dynamic. And I now,
having been here for three years, I see that it is. It's no longer Republicans versus Democrats. And you know, then you take it one step further, and it's certainly a dynamic of advocates for big government versus little government. And listen of the Republicans. I can tell you that there are very few of us little government conservatives. Yeah, we have people in the so called conservative movement that advocate for some of the biggest government programs ever. And
I mean it makes you your head one explode. If I had to liken it to anything, it would be coalition government. It almost feels like you have three or four or maybe five factions in the Republican conference and then you've got three or four in the Democrat caucus. And so the question becomes, then how do you you effectively get something done in coalition government? And that's really really difficult. And as of course we've seen that this cycle, all
bets are off. You know, we're breaking records left, right and center for you know, unprecedented things happening. And I will say it makes very strange bedfellows. You know, you start seeing where if you were to pull up how many the Florida's delegation, for example, and who votes the least amount of time with Joe Biden versus who votes the most amount of time with Joe Biden. I think people would be shocked I vote the least amount of
time with Joe Biden. But then there's other people that are like, wait, why is this person voting with Joe Biden ten twelve percent of the time, Like it makes no sense. And so I think you have to take it from the position of each vote and how it lands. And the dynamics
up here are becoming very much a decentralized nature. And you've heard me say it before, Preston, we're living through that era of entertainment where people up here are more concerned about giving off the perception that they're fighting than actually fighting, because it all comes back to I'm going to go out there, I'm going to fight for you, and I'm going to use that to raise campaign cash. Yeah, it's disgusting how much pressure is on you, Kat.
I mean when you first got elected. I have heard other freshman lawmakers say, and I won't name them, but that the speaker or the majority leader or sorry, the minority leader at the time would almost immediately call them in and say, now get busy raising money. Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean the minute that you get up here, you are given an assessment. And that's the actual term they use. They give you an assessment.
And the assessment is how much you owe the Republican Party for being a part of the crew, right, and it's if you're a freshman, you oh, about one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. If you get on a good committee, you owe four hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, and if you're in leadership, you owe a million plus. And when you say, oh, you mean raising funds, yes, you have to go raise that money and then you have to give that to the NRCC, the National
Republican Congressional Committee. And if you don't, you don't get gabbles, you don't get chairmanship subcommittee chairmanships, you don't get your bills brought to the floor. It is absolutely a pay to play set up, and the Democrats to do it too. How incestuous is the relationship between the National Congressional Republican Caucus whatever you called it, and the party itself so they're in the same building enough sense, Yeah, I mean, they're all in the same building.
And the thing that's frustrating is we ten like you go into that building and you see the separation of the level. So the top level is the National Party, the third floor is the Senate the Senate side, the second floor is the House, and then the first floor, you know, just like meeting rooms and whatever. And there's really no communication between the three levels.
And when people raise money for the party, they're not raising money for the RN either're raising money for the congressional side, right, and so the right arm is not talking to the left arm. So what ends up happening is
a gross miscalculation of where resources need to be going. And that's something that I have repeatedly said needs to be fixed, because how are we ever expected to win elections if we're pumping money into one area of the country or one race and then we're not doing anything in another one and we're just missing opportunities. That's a big problem. We also don't ballot chase. We don't we
don't we don't follow up on ballot chasing. We let the Dems just run un roughshot over us and that's really really frustrating, and it comes up the expense of again elections. Cat stand by US congress Woman Cat Camick, my guest the final segment. US congress Woman cac Camick here on the Morning Show
with Trustin Scott. All Right, the anti Semitism Bill. I'm sure you've seen the criticism Cat that this, because of its language and where it got some of its guidance, does place the Bible in the crosshairs of being considered anti semitic. Yeah. I mean, I've heard some of the criticisms about
it, and I fundamentally disagree with them. The fact of the matter is that this is exactly the same language as Trump's executive order from when he was president, and people who are being very outspoken against it, who claim to be Trump supporters are not recognizing that they're actually speaking out against Trump's executive order. But was that executive order correct? I mean, you know what I'm
driving at. Yeah, yeah, And and and just because Trump did it, you know, it doesn't mean that it gets you know, a free pass. So I did my homework. I actually consulted with one of the foremost constitutional lawyers who argues before the Supreme Court often and you know, they did a full deep dive analysis on it, and when you read the bill, and this is this is what this is one of the reasons that I voted for it. One, you take a stand. You know, hate
speech is hate speech. It doesn't mean that, you know, you can censor someone because they're saying something you don't like. You know, I think as a constitutional conservative, we have to fundamentally protect the Constitution at all costs. And this act, it's consistent with the First It says in the bill, nothing in the fact or an amendment made by this Act shall be construed to diminish or infringe upon any rights protected under the First Amendment. And absolutely
people have the right to free speech. The minute that you begin infringing on someone else's rights is where yours end. That's why we have criminal laws right the minute that you start beating the ever living crap out of someone that is
not protected right, that's not constitutionally protected. And the fact that it has language in there that reaffirms that the Constitution is absolute, that nothing in the Act could be construed to override the First Amendment, And furthermore goes on to say that the savings clause states a tourism right that no statute can diminish a constitutional right. You go on to think about out, has there ever been a statue that has trumped the constitution. No, the Constitution always trumps a
statute. So we were talking about this in the first segment presson about how the courts right, the courts will make a ruling if this were ever to come to pass, which we're living in crazy times right where someone said I'm going to sue under this, under this Act, under this statue, and it made it all its way, all the way to the Supreme Court. Without a doubt, I think you'd get a nine oz ruling that it does
not because it is absolutely defined in the language of the bill itself. And keep in mind, I serve with a lot of people who don't read the bills, like they absolutely don't read the bills. Bless their hearts that you know, it's just it's a frustrating thing being up here. But no, nothing in the Act can override the Constitution. And so let me ask you that, and let me let me finish this. So I heard from a colleague who we were debating this, and he said, well, you know,
this is going to give people. This is going to give the government an expansion of powers. I said, no, it doesn't. It actually gives the court an ability if it is. And this is and this is strictly under Title six, so this is under education, right, So we're looking at this through the lens of these universities are saying, oh, there's nothing we can do. We don't have anything that we can think our deep into to protect our Jewish students on campus, or any students for that matter.
Right, this is really just giving the courts an ability to map down on college campuses all of the things that are happening. That is nothing to do with people in churches and the notion that this is somehow making the Bible illegal. Listen, I recognize that there is. And you heard me say it again a thousand times. Entertainment. Nothing gets people more riled up than on social media somebody saying, oh, the Bible is now illegal according to
the House representative. That is such b X. I almost said it all the whole way through, so I cleaned it up for you. Keep your some button. But that is such nonsense, absolute nonsense, And it's just a scheme to get people to click on your stupid link and then you they'll
ask you for money. And it's just the entertainment outrage. These people have found such a glory and objecting to every little thing there's not glory, and watching your country go down the drain because you're more focused on raising money for your organization or your campaign. Get out of here with that nonsense. All right, We're going to have to leave it there, Kat, thanks very
much. We'll talk again next month. Appreciate that. Thank you, all right, Kat cam At, US congresswoman from the third Congressional District here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show, Preston Scott, all right, hurricane season is coming up less than a month now before the official start, and we will we will take time a little closer to and go
through some checklists. I'd love to make a bunch of FM radio trans you know, transistor radio is available that you power with a battery, not rechargeable
battery power. Behind the scenes trying to make that happen. Would love to just make them available to you and say here you go, here's where you can get some very inexpensively so that you have a portable transistor radio It's one of the most important things you can have because when power goes out, we're it can't watch TV, you know, unless you have a battery powered TV,
and then even even that is sketchy. We in the radio world live in the world of redundancy, so we have all kinds of radio transmitters that we can bounce our signal through and to you, which gives us the ability to keep you informed when severe weather, and I mean big time severe weather is moving in and upon us, and we're pleased to be able to help you in that way. But it is Hurricane Preparedness Week kind of weird because
the tax holidays not till June first. I would have probably timed it to the last week of May, but that's you know, Memorial Day weekend, and people don't want to think about stuff like that during that weekend, I suppose, so I would have waited till June first myself, But that's okay. There are some dues and don'ts. The tax free holiday for your supply
list is June first, and then again August twenty fourth. I think it's a two week window that you have and take advantage because you will be spared paying any form of state taxes. I believe local tax two for any items on that list. Florida number one in destination, number one destination for domestic tourism. These, of course the big stories in the press box brought to you by Grove, a creative marketing and digital expertise. Florida ranks number one,
number two with internationals and is gaining and market share. That's good. Reached out to visit Florida. See if we can get Dana Young on the program. She's the executive director. He I don't know. I I mean, Dana is one of those names. It could be either or. It's kind of like any number of other names. Terry Terry can be an either or. But we'll try to better understand what's driving this. Because I suspect that the big theme parks, though they're always going to draw people, I
don't suspect that that's the thing. I feel like it is being spread out, which is good. I'm not opposed to the eco tourism label. I think that's fine. I think being a good steward is a good thing, so that's good. And then yeah. Israel basically responded to the alleged agreement on a peace deal with mas By by saying, yeah, no, we didn't agree to that. We weren't part of the negotiation, and so we're
going to continue our operations until we root out these terrorists. So Israel being Israel, all right, we come back Animal Stories on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven UFLA in the wild or in our homes? We love them critters, large and small. Time for another edition of Animal Stories on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
This is great. By the way, I intentionally did not include the story of the possibility of cat owners becoming schizophrenic because of owning cats, because that really isn't the purpose of Animal Stories. That was something else. You'll have to listen to the first part of the podcast to get that. You probably don't know the name Racus. Racus is an orangutan in Indonesia that is in the wild. Did he cause our ruckus? No, but he is causing
people to go no way. He has been observed as part of a observation that's been going on since nineteen ninety four where they're just looking at the behaviors of these You know the great apes, if you will, and in this case, orangutans, and what Racus did just blew people away. Remember this is a wild animal. They observed that he had an injury on the outside
of his mouth, visible injury. He picked a specific set of leaves from a plant, chewed them up, and then took the juice, applied it to the outside of the wound, and then took the leave out of his mouth and applied it to the outside of his wound. In a matter of a few days to a week or so, wound was healed. It appears as though they know the medicinal plants that are out in the wild that can help them heal. It got into a fight, you know, as orangutans
do, and it's just fascinating. It's apparently a specific plant that people that live in Southeast Asia used to treat pain and inflammation. Hm. I just that was cool to me. It's like with you know, like your great grandma's old you know recipe of like oh, sweetie, if you take this tobacca leaf and rub it on your yellow jacket, sting, it'll or something like that, you know what I mean. Yeah, I didn't even know if that accurate, but it sounds we don't take the tobacco leaf. I'm
just saying or something like that. Yeah, yeah, you get my point, yep, I do. I do absolutely. Then there's this, it's a saga Washington State. The public worked together with law enforcement officials when owner of some zebras taking them to Montana pulled over to the side of the road to when the owner was securing the trailer, and somehow the doors swung open and out go four zebras. Needless to say, traffic was stopped. That's
not so. I mean, there's a picture of them just wandering through traffic. It's not something you see all the time. So they get three of them corralled in, but there was a fourth. They got the three by chance because a rodeo clown was driving by the area and was able to help corral the animals in where they were able to get them back. But then the fourth zebra remained at large. So here's the second story. Public urged
to steer clear of escape zebra in Washington remained on the loose. They've got feeding zones set up for this zebra, trying to coax it out where they can then effectively rescue the animal and bring it to its new home in Montana. Now the third story runaway zebra has been safely captured. So this went on for nearly a week. The zebra's name was Shug, and Shug was in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. I just imagine, what's the
movie? Is it Madagascar? Where the animals escape the zoo and they're just out. They're just like, ah, here we are. And I hear the voice of Chris Rock for some reason, because I think Chris Rock was the voice of the lead zebra. But yeah, private citizens animal control officers were able to find Sug wandering the woods, and they were able to coax Sug to safety. So there you go. Animal Stories forty seven minutes after the hour, come Back four hundred and sixty one one tomorrow, Florida Man
Factor Fiction talk to Rob Bluie, executive editor, Daily Signal. Where did the media Go Wrong? Segment of the program inspired by a question from a ruminator. So you can infect the programming of this show, but it has to be something I'm interested in. The Only time I talk about things that I'm not personally interested in is to then sort of kind of make fun of something that I'm not interested in and explain why I'm not interested in it.
If that makes sense now, it's first rule of doing what we do here. If you talk about things you're not interested in, you're just now you could then make the argument, so you're interested in a baguette measuring four hundred and sixty one feet Yes, because it's a kicker. A team of eighteen bakers came together in France to cook a baguette measuring four hundred and sixty one
feet long. Members of the French Confederation of Bakers and Pastry Chefs gathered at the Chenet Bagatte show in Selnet, west of Palace to beg the bread loaf, which measured two hundred and thirty five times longer than the average French bagatte. So an average baguette is nearly two feet in length. That's crazy anyway,
They got the They got the Guinness record. The previous record was four hundred and thirty five feet one inch, and that was baked in Italy in twenty nineteen, and so the baguette was examined by an official Guinness World Record adjudicator and confirmed as a record holder. What did they do with it? They covered it with nutella and served it to everybody attending the show. That's the way to do it. Put a little neutella out. Have you ever
had nutella? Yeah, it's been a while. Just kind of who's there hazel nutspread that looks and seems to act like chocolate? Yeah? Never really, you know, didn't catch on. No, not really, It wasn't ever really prominent in my home. Brought to you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's the morning show one on WFLA, our first today Galatians six ' nine. That's where we started the radio program. Lance wrote in and
said, truth bomb. Thank you, Sern. Big stories today. As defeat sets in, amas is playing games with the whole ceasefire agreement, it wasn't look you have to have both sides negotiating it. Israel's not interesting. I don't blame them. I'm gonna go back to a blog, go to my blog page. You might have search it out to find it, but it's screams than silence. Look at the look at the documentary, and then you tell me. Florida remains number one tourist destination for domestic tourism. Number
two in international It's hurricane Preparedness Week. We will we'll talk more about that as we get closer and give you some practical things to be aware of. The CEO for Hims and Hers walking back praise for anti Israel protesters after an eight percent drop in stock value, and why in the world would anybody go to Mexico seriously, even coming from the South. Why why why Tomorrow we'll do it again. Have a great day friends, Thanks for listening.
