Transcript

Five minutes past the hour of the Morning Show with Drusting Stack. Good morning, great to be with you. I'm Preston, he's Grant. Just wow. Let's first, let's let's do this, because if I don't, I will I will let myself down. We gotta start with scripture. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. That's a very interesting pair of verses. Walk

in wisdom toward outsiders. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull and and kind of reorient to help you out here. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, so that you may know how to answer answer each of them, each person. I think we lose what the connecting point is with what's in the middle. Making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt. Salt is a seasoning, salt is a preservative. I think salt is used here as as both. I think the meaning of the word salt

here is to imply both a seasoning and a preservative. Let your speech always be gracious. That's one of the big challenges isn't it. When we're talking one on one with people, is to make certain that we're representing Christ the best way possible. It's a challenge, it really is. I know that I likely on this show fail that admonition if you apply it as you would

a regular conversation. My job here, as I see it, is to present the stories, the news, the events, the things that are happening that I think and it's strictly my opinion on what I think is most important for us to consider, to ruminate over freely admitting I may get it wrong and pick wrong stories sometimes. I was having this conversation with somebody the other

day. When you do what I do for a living, if you don't pick things that you're interested in, that you think are important, you're making a mistake because you're gonna end up talking about stuff you don't care about. And then you are a literal example of that person that talks to somebody in a room and they're not making any eye contact, They're looking around. They're just looking around. They're not focused on anything that that person's saying, or

even what they're saying to that person. They're busy looking around for the next thing or they're thinking about, you know something else. We've all been there, and that's just like, that's horrible. So I try my best to not go there. But those verses and Colossians four Walking Wisdom, that's where I think the root of this whole thing, that those two verses are rooted

in the concept of wisdom. Well, who's wisdom? Not the world's, and candidly oftentimes not ours, unless we derive our wisdom from our accumulated time with God and his word, and we then apply that wisdom that we've acquired over our life to whatever the situation, the person that the issue might be. Ten past the hour. The American Patriots Almanac is next. Get started here Wednesday in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston

Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven w FLA. Say you about the show in a few minutes. On this date, May eighth, fifteen forty one, Spanish explorer and then this though reaches the Mississippi River. Eighteen forty six, General Zachary Taylor wins the first major battle of the Mexican War at Palo Alto, Texas. We are Palo Alto, and then California. Eighteen eighty four Harry S. Truman, thirty third US President, born in Lamar,

Missouri. They probably said it that way. Eighteen eighty six, Druggist John S. Pemberton sells the first Coca Cola at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. I still believe it is one of the better museums, sort of kind of places to visit, the Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta. It is very cool. In nineteen fourteen, Congress establishes the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Let's do a little backup here. The credit goes to a

schoolteacher named Anna Jarvis. Her campaign to organize a holiday began his way to honor the memory of her own mom, Anna Maria Reeves Jarvis. The elder Jarvis had devoted much of her life to the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. In May nineteen oh eight, at Anna Jarvis's urging, the church held a service honoring moms. Anna Jarvis, who lived in Philadelphia, also convinced Merchant and John Wannamaker to join her cause an establishing Mother's Day,

and he held an afternoon service in his store. Within just a couple of years, the custom has spread to other states. At one of the first Mother's Day services, Jarvis distributed white carnations, her mother's favorite flower. That's where the tradition comes from. It is a tradition that is held to this day. White carnations oftentimes given out on Mother's Day, white flowers in memory of deceased moms, brightly colored ones for living moms. What a cool

idea that was, huh. Jarvis and her supporters convinced ministers, politicians, businessmen to support the goal of starting a national observance, and so on May eighth, nineteen fourteen, Congress passed a joint resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. The next day, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother's Day Presidential Proclamation, calling for quote a public expression of our love and

reverence for the mothers of our country. Well done, missus Jarvis. And that's a reminder to all of you sons and husbands daughters to remember mom this weekend. If your mom has passed, take a moment and think about and reflect kindly upon your mom. As we know, not all moms. Well, never mind. Lastly, I thought it was V Day, would be

yesterday. It actually officially is today. Even though Germany surrendered to Ally forces in France yesterday in nineteen forty five, today was declared officially victory in Europe over Nazi Germany. So today is officially V Day. I was mistaken. I thought it was yesterday. It was, in fact today, sixteen minutes after the hour. If you are an educator in a public school, listen closely, next man. It's good to see FSU baseball doing things. Baseball

is a funny game. It is a battle of attrition. You gotta have a deep bench, you gotta have a deep bullpen. You've got to And what link Jared is showing the reason why FSU brought him back to the fold after he was successful everywhere else he'd been, including Notre Dame most recently. Do you realize the knowles are fourteen and zero against in state schools this year, and Florida schools are pretty good baseball schools. We're talking, you know,

Jacksonville, Florida, Miami, Florida Coast, Florida Gulf Coast. Did you say if they played, Yeah? I did. I don't know if they played Central Florida, but my goodness, Gracious or Extetson's usually pretty yes the hatters, Yeah, fourteen and zero. I mean, baseball is one of those sports you lose games. You'd think they had lost one of them. No, they came back and won. Last night. I went to sleep as they were trailing and woke up to find out that they had won.

And so congratulations to Florida State Baseball softball having another very good year. The expectations for softball are pretty high, though, aren't they World Series or bust. They don't quite have the pitching this year they have had in years past. They can smack the ball around, and I for one, am very very happy to see that women's soft ball has has gone the route of

power. I remember the days when when it was all slap and run, get a running start in the batter's box, slap the thing, and god, I did not particularly enjoy that game. I just I just didn't find it fun the second they started hitting the ball, and that was a notable shift in the game at large. I mean, look, doctor Joey and Graff. I'd like to think that when I was doing sports, I was a friend as much as you can be a friend of a coach that you're

covering. She was an amazing coach in an era when the game was the way it was. Latne Alameda came in and the game transitioned right along with her coming to Florida State. I wouldn't say necessarily that she was the reason it transitioned, because the transition happened nationally. Girls are swinging the bats and it's fun. It's a fun game to watch, enjoy it, fast moving, they get after it, and I mean, you gotta love the cheers

that the girls do in the bench. Those are awesome and actually it's kind of it's it's spilled over a little bit to the guys game. But anyway, so go Nole's there for the six year in a row. The ANA, the National Education Association, is hemorrhaging members, and so I gave you a hello. Educators, teachers, specially public school teachers. Listen up. If you're still a member of the the FAA, the Florida's Education Association, which is an affiliate of the NEA, you're on the wrong side. You're

on the wrong team. You may think they're representing you. Listen to this in the twenty twenty three recently ended school year. The NEA fumbled, fumbled one hundred and seventy six million of your union due dollars to political candidates and ideological causes, as opposed to lobbying all lawmakers about the needs of public education, which we don't need a federal Department of Education. You don't need in

any a. What you need is legal protection and advice counsel. You don't need someone politicking, because, for example, I've repeatedly said, and a piece here written by Aaron With who is CEO of Freedom Foundation, he has said in here exactly what I've been saying for twenty years. The Teachers' union picks fights with the people that set the budget for education in the state of Florida, and you've lost for twenty years. More stop it. I have

a solution for you, at least in Florida pennfl dot Org. I'm not compensated by them. I wouldn't accept it. They're better, they represent you, they provide the same protections, but they first, it's cheaper, and they don't waste your money on political campaigns and ridiculous salaries to leadership, which is what these unions always do number of people making six figures in the FAA would stagger your brain. So get out twenty seven minutes after the hour,

back with the big stories in the press box. Next in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Looking like he's ready to hit the golf course, Great Allen over there at Studio one A, although he's probably not looking to hit the golf course. I'm always looking to hit the golf course, though I'm not right now. I'm dealing

with some drainage issues in the overflow of my swimming pool. Yeah, I learned the hard way that we've got assault system in our swimming pool and this modest little pool, and we love our little home. And so I learned the hard way that the drain pipe that the previous owners had put in by whoever built the pool was not necessarily done with with a lot of forethought.

And so as the salt water began to overflow from the pool at different times when rainwater would come and so forth, it killed part of my lawn in a small little area there. So I am I am now trenching and redirecting, and yeah, that's just so much fun anyway, great to be with you this morning, like you care about my woes with my lawn, my patch of grass in that area. Big Stories in the press Box though, brought to you by Grove Creative Marketing and digital Expertise. Average credit card debt

now over sixty five hundred dollars. It's growing. What does that tell you? I'm just going to let that hang there. Social Security, the trust fund is released its annual report. They now think they have an extra year before it goes bankrupt, twenty thirty five versus twenty thirty four. At that point, the combined funds run dry, social Security will only be able to

pay out eighty three percent. What that means is their stockpile that makes up the difference is going away too fast and it can be replenished, and so the money that's coming in reduces benefits to eighty three percent. The money that you save and have saved and our saving is gone. Everything you pay in Social Security is going to someone who's already retired. Your money. You know, we thought it was saved up and getting maybe a little interested. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, it's gone.

Congress can eliminate the shortfall by either increasing revenue or taxes or reducing benefits or combo of the two. Now, there is a third way that this could be done, and it is by not spending money where we spend money and honoring the promise made to those people in the money they set aside that they are allowed to they should absolutely expect to get back, though not legally entitled to it, none of us are. But it's interesting how that option just

never gets discussed. Why why aren't we fixing Social Security by merely eliminating areas of expense that we that are duplicatus I mean I multiple agencies do the same thing. Eliminate one of them, shrink their responsibilities, save that money. Anyway. Another big story, the Trump classified document case here in Florida has been suspended indefinitely. The judge, Eileen Cannon, US district judge, she's the one that has been unredacting things. She is not going to allow the

trial to begin May twenty. Both the prosecution and defense acknowledged that date wasn't going to work, so she said, okay, we're not starting May twentieth, and she has not set another date. There's a lot being made of why that might be. I will tell you that I believe the comment, the concern the issue raised last week on the program that the special investigator in this case, Jack Smith, is not legal. Therefore the case isn't legal.

That may be an issue that needs to be fleshed out. And then lastly, and I don't know what to tell you if you're in the Boy Scouts, if you're a troop leader or whatever, I believe you needed to get out years ago. Boy Scouts in America will change its name February eighth, next year. Official decision has been made. The name change seeks to quote foster a more inclusive organization and so it will be called Scouting America.

Might be worth noting it has agreed to pay out two point four to six billion dollars in claims of former Boy Scouts who claimed they were sexually abused by Boy Scout officials and volunteers. How does an organization have the resources to pay two zero point four to six billion dollars in claims of eighty two thousand former Boy Scouts? Yeah, never mind? The Morning Show Preston Scott. Interesting survey out from lending Tree survey more than two thousand US consumers that are raising

kids under eighteen. You're a new parent. Have you been surprised by any affiliated costs that come with having a child? Not really? Pretty expected. Yeah, yeah, as as children age, the costs become a little greater. Right now. Parents of kids younger than eighteen spend on average eleven five hundred and five dollars a year on their child. Some of the key findings inside this survey are interesting. Parenting is hard. It's a it's a challenge

being a parent, but it's a worthwhile challenge. But inside the survey, it says most degree it would be easier if they had more money. Okay, yeah, that's always true. Parents of kids younger than eighteen estimate they spend over eleven than five hundred dollars per child. Ninety percent acknowledged parenting would be easier if they had more money. Among all, parents three and four

say having and raising children has been far more expensive than expected. Three out of four some admit to overspending over half fifty five percent have gone into debt to pay for child related expenses, but seventy two percent say they don't regret it. Those with young children say child related expenses that are the biggest financial burdens are food twenty one percent, childcare nineteen percent, clothing thirteen percent.

Overall, forty five percent of parents, regardless of age, admit they felt the need to overspend on their child to keep up with other parents or their children's peers. Really, third finding that was interesting, and it's like, to me, this is oh, really, this is this is a shock. Seventy seven percent of parents said they've had to make financial sacrifices for their

children, most commonly by reducing personal spending. Eighty one percent say that delaying investments or retirement, thirty seven percent list that sacrificing their own education or career twenty five percent for both of those. And then there's this almost a third, thirty one percent say they have fewer children because of the financial challenges.

However, knowing they know now about the cost of having and raising a child, seventy eight percent say they're happy with the number of kids they have, and it's especially true of older parents, eighty six percent of baby boomers saying so. So, the takeaways here are it's not easy right now being a parent because we're living in the Biden economy my words, not theirs, and the societal pressures of the day, which are just different. They've always existed.

There's always been this idea of keeping up with the Joneses sort of mantra that's always existed. It's just different today because of social media. But when it's all said and done, you sacrifice for your kids, always the truth. If you're a parent worth your salt, you sacrifice for your kids. And lastly, when it's all said and done, you're really grateful for your

children. That's the big takeaway. Back with more The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven double USLA or on newsradiou WFLA Panama City dot Com. Let's go back for just a second as we think about what's happening right this moment, still at college campuses across the country. How'd we get here? Oh? This isn't this really isn't about October seventh. Yeah, that was a nudge. But if you back up and just kind of I don't know, I'm a simple thinker. There are a lot of

people that are a lot smarter than I am in this world. Absolutely, but I'm pretty good at just kind of stepping back and breaking things down kind of the way a coach does. You've got outside forces that have been allowed

into this country that are terrorists or they're terrorist sympathizers. They enable, they fund, they raise money for, I mean, the council, what is it, Islamic Relations Arab Islamic Relations Care has been here for years, and we've talked about that group off and on for years, how they are just they are a funding tool for terrorism. Then you've got the college and university campuses that are at best incubators for socialism, at worst factories producing socialist Marxists,

actual fascists. And then you've got this little flashpoint that just sort of brings it all together. You realize that right now at George Washington University, not only have they clothed George Washington statue on campus as an Islamic terrorist, which to me, that's immediate dismissal from school. I'm sorry, that's not Nope, you're gone. We're gonna pull the surveillance tape and whoever was involved in that, you're gone. But now they're calling for the beheading of university

leadership that doesn't fall in line with what they demand, folks. They're calling for guillotine. Guillotine guillotine. Guillotine. On the plus side, thirteen federal judges, including judges from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US Court of Federal Claims, addressed a letter to the President of Columbia University informing them that they will no longer hire law clerks from Columbia College or Columbia Law School.

And in the letter it's not just listen to this, They would no longer hire anyone who joins the Columbia University community, whether it's undergraduates or as law students, beginning with the entering class of twenty twenty four. Yeah, play adult games, win adult prizes. It's funny to me the things that drive people crazy. Some people are just well, let me back up.

One person is annoyed at my beginning of the Hour of Music. The poor soul writes me from time to time telling me how much he hates the opening of the show, sucking Grant Allen, Ladies and gentleman over there running the radio program, I'm merely Preston Scott, Welcome, When's second hour, South Georgia. Those listeners throughout Georgia on iHeartRadio, we have listeners on the broadcast pattern that are in South Georgia, and of course the rest of the state,

as well as country and world can listen on iHeartRadio. What is your former Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan thinking? He seems like he was at one point a very sharp, smart guy. What is he thinking? I don't know if you've seen the story, but it is. It is music to the ears of the Democrats and the liberals out there, and that alone should cause

Duncan to pause, but it doesn't. Quoting from his op ed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, it's disappointing to watch an increasing number of Republicans fall in line behind former President Donald Trump. This mentality is dead wrong. Yes, serious questions linger about President Biden's ability to serve until the age of eighty six.

His progressive policies aren't to conservatives liking, but the GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative but not angry Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden. Unlike Trump, I belong to the GOP my entire life, Sir, You're a kid. With all due respect, this November, I'm voting for a decent person. I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass. Okay,

just sell your soul. Then to sell us all out, actually to illegal aliens, us losing our jobs. All right, but you want to be nice. Quit the virtue signaling? Nonsense, you little Oh, I can't stand that nose in the air, you know, hold on though, though first completely agree with you, you know that. But let's take a part of his commentary about Joe a decent person. What the crap are you talking about? Yeah? No, seriously, have you had a lobotomy?

Are you incapable of understanding the corruption he's been engaged in since he was at least vice president, if not prior as a US senator? Where have you been as this country has fallen into complete disrepair? Look and see and oh, by the way, what about a defendant guilty of what bad judgment in his personal relationships? Yes, certainly seems that way at one time, several times over the years, because he's written about it. It's not like,

oh, my god, did you know? Yeah, I knew. I guess Bill Crystal has a brother, My gosh, But you're calling Joe Biden a decent person who what affects me more and listen. This is consider this a lecture to any of you who think this way. What affects your life,

your pocketbook, the way of life in this country. More questionable character that has solid policies that lower taxes, bring up the economy, secure our border, make us better in terms of our national security, or someone that you think is decent but is causing the country to go to hell in a handbasket, which affects me more, which has affected me more. It doesn't stop there. There's more to share, because this is really getting creepy.

Sound coming from Morning Joe next and this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I am quite certain that somebody listening has a connection to the former lieutenant governor. He is welcome to come on this program and to discuss, not debate, discuss the absurdity of his position. I remember reading a study one time. This is a quick sidebar that traditionally conservative states produced some of the

weakest conservative politicians. And I know George's purple now didn't used to be right, used to be part of that conservative of southern you know, but that's where you get some of the weakest and and it was a phenomenon that they were they were studying there were the track records of so called conservative politicians from arguably the most conservative states, and they had the worst conservative track records.

That is a study I got to bring back up because that there's a there's a real phenomenon that goes on in a lot of these states where we have the majority right and we rest on our laurels, and you look what happens. I would equate Biden and Trump as moral equivalents in totally different arenas. I know Donald Trump is who he is. I know he wrote about it, he bragged about it. But guess what, that crap doesn't affect you and me day to day. It doesn't you know what does Joe Biden's moral

deficiencies. Biden's moral deficiencies cause us harm because they've affected policy, They've affected relationships with China, Ukraine. We're still paying as a result of them. So I can take issue with all of this. He went on further in his op ed to say that the problems in the election are not in the op ed. He went on to say that he said that he testified before the grand Jury that the twenty twenty election was very fair, It was fair,

it was legitimate. Remember what Justin Haskins said on this show. He broke the news on this show, on this show that the polling showed that seventeen percent of mail in voters admitted to voting fraud, voter fraud in twenty twenty. Now, they didn't know they were committing vote fraud at all times, but they were committing it. You know what that is in every state where Biden won by thin margins, that's more than the margin of victory the

voting fraud. But I promised Morning Joe, this is where this is going. Listen to Jen Pesaki on Morning Joe yesterday. I think many of them want to be close to power. They also assume or have this thought in their mind that maybe Donald Trump will go away, maybe he'll go to jail, maybe he will die. Not to be too morbid, but maybe. I mean, he's not a young man. She was directly referring to Jeff Duncan. There's an effort to siphon off Republican votes from Trump. That's what

all these trials are about. Picking off a few thousand voters here, a few thousand voters there. That's what all of this is about they can't let him get into office. She's talking about, well maybe he'll die. You know, he's not a young man. Have you looked at your guy? If there's a man who's on the precipice of eternity between the two of them. Granted, anything canna happen to anybody any day. I get it,

even you and me. But if you just look at the two of them and their relative health, if there's one standing on the precipice, on the cliff, on the chasm's edge, it's Joe. Man, That's what I mean. This is getting creepy. Sixteen minutes after the hour more in the Morning Show with Preston's put him Up, Put him Up? One of the last two segments will fired me uf Man. I don't mind. I'm not

a fan of Trump. I'm not a fan of him personally, But when you compare the two most likely candidates that have the chance of occupying the White House, there is zero excuse to vote for for Joe Biden. There just isn't any none. Now what about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He is arguing to Trump. Look, we're both going to be at the Libertarian Convention later this month. You're invited to speak there. You've accepted. I'm invited to speak there. I've accepted. Let's have a debate. Biden was invited

to speak there. He will not come. He said, So look, let's I'm polling with enough numbers. You said if I was polling, well that you'd do it. Let's do it. If you're advising Trump, do you do that debate? Do no debates until it's Biden. Because Kennedy is a smart guy. He's hard to listen to, by the way, but Kennedy's not dumb. I agree with you wholeheartedly on all of that. I

think that I think it would be a mistake for Trump. And I'm just talking to here for him to get on the stage, because honestly, I don't think Donald Trump is very good at debate. I think he gets into name calling and I think he just although the comedy part of it is what is like that's when you get laughing. Yeah. But here's the thing I'm gonna ask you, and I'm going to ask you to be objective here. Remove the fact where you and I are and that is Trump's getting our vote.

Okay, let's just set that aside and be objective. If you're in the middle and you're trying to decide not so much Biden Trump, but you're thinking about RFK because as you say, he is smart, he's and he's very articulate. He has a terrible voice and it hurts him. His voice hurts him because it's it's so difficult to listen to. But if you're in the middle of this and you're trying to figure out where your vote's gonna go,

does Trump style win you over? I actually think for a lot of middle of the road maybe blue collar people, say, like a construction worker, right, who's not really politically inclined. You know, some of the rough edges work, Yeah, I actually do. I do. Don't You think he has to be disciplined and that's something he hasn't shown himself able to do. In other words, be rough around the edges, but be disciplined. Stay honed in on the discussion, on the topic, whatever it might

be, depends on what it is. Stay on your talking point. If there's like a Lester Holt that's trying to corner Trump into something and then Trump just fires off of who do you work for? NBC? And he does like one of those things where it's just like, you're irrelevant, Just stop talking to me, you're cornering me. I'm not buying it that Actually, that's where you know, that's where it's like, oh yeah, now, but that's not really the debate with the other guy that's responding the media.

Everybody hates the media, so I'm with you there. But I think he has a vulnerability on stage in his lack of discipline. It's not the same as going off prompter with Joe, where he's literally reading everything on the prompter four more years, four more years pause, where he's literally saying what's written down there, he's a stupid oh sorry. With Trump, it's it's that

weird kind of thing he gets going where he starts bragging. If he could stay disciplined and just say, look, this is what was going on economically etcetera, etcetera, etcetera when I was in office. Here's what's happened since wins. Everywhere you go, you remind people of where their dollars were being spent before. You remind people of what was happening at the border. Yet you didn't get everything done that you wanted to get done at the border.

But look at what he had to do with executive orders versus congressional help. You could make all of those arguments. Golly, I wish I could sit with him on his handlers and say this is how you win. The only thing that and I think I think you know, I would say you'd probably recognize this too, is that for a large segment of the population. Uh, they they really don't care about facts, right, They're like, they're

unswayed by the truth over facts. Well, they like they when they hear a politician rattle off all these stats, they're like, I don't care what the think tanks, you know, or the COT but they're wallet remembers. I understand that. But people are moved by like these. I hate to say it. The historian Thomas Carlyle refer to it as the great Man of

history theory. And when you've got a guy up there that's just zinging it and he's just loving it, and he's just going off the cuff, you start to see like like people's like want to see that, like this great man of and and when you get real sterile with facts in numbers, it only appeals to a certain kind of really high IQ voter that does you know, follow facts and numbers. But for the layman, for the for the average American, they're like driven Trump's way. I suppose so sure you know

what I mean. I mean, he can just simply say four years with me, every group in America was doing better, every minority group, every ethnic group, we highest, lowest. I mean, just drop it out there. This guy who wants who wants to come back as the president, he can't even find his coke closet. I mean, you can drop all that stuff. You can pile the line. I mean, did you see the video he looks like a room but walking around. I mean, you can say all that stuff, but I just I think it's I think it

would be a mistake to go debate Kennedy by himself. That's what I'm getting at. So the invitation's out there. It'll be interesting to see what happens. We're a little late twenty eight passed. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott Rob Blue, who is the executive editor with The Daily Signal. We'll talk about media bias. Yeah, we'll do that next hour. Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grova Creative Marketing and Digital expertise.

If you pay attention, the big stories can change. We will add in some tract so each hour it could be a little bit different. When we visit the press box, p R ees box, what did we tell you? The Fed Reserves said that they were going to be cutting the rate this year. Now, a lot of us, including me I, theorize that if they're gonna do that, it is going to be against all the evidence to the contrary that they're going to do it to try to win some

votes for Joe Biden. The caveat was they're gonna have to do it against the prevailing wins of what the economy's telling us. Remember that period of time recently where you had everybody out there that was on the left in the media, which is basically everybody saying you're just stupid. And I mean that this is what they were saying, You're just stupid. You don't know how good

the economy is. Well. One of the Fed Reserve presidents of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, Neil Kashkari, if you just put a pause in there cash carry, you could change it to cash carry, perfect for a Fed Reserve president. He said, rates aren't likely to come in twenty twenty four rate cuts. Why because we still have inflation, which still have all of the ingredients that are required to keep interest rates elevated to try to suppress buying.

You do realize the whole point of raising interest rates is to keep you from buying stuff. In theory, when you don't buy stuff, the prices for those goods and services drop. But people are spending money on their credit cards. Enter big story number two. The average credit card debt right now is at six thousand, five hundred and fifty five dollars. Third big story, social Security will go bankrupt one year later then, was originally thought by the

Social Security Board of Trustees. They talk about, well, the only way you can deal with it is either increase revenue or taxes payroll taxes, or reducing benefits, or a combo of the two. No, there's a third

option. You cut government and you take the money allocated to those areas and you send it into Social Security. Meanwhile, if you're really smart, you're forward thinking, and you're creating off ramps for people to get out of it, and you no longer create a retirement system funded by the government because they

don't have the ability to not raid the saving. It's like if you have a drug addicted kid and you give that kid twenty thousand dollars and you say, okay, now this is for you for later in life, after I'm gone to help you with by the house, or whatever the case might be. If they're a drug addict, that money's gone. It doesn't matter that it was for this, it's designated for that. It's gone. Forty minutes after the hour some bills Governor de Santas just signed, and this is the

President Scott ship minutes away from Florida. Man factor fiction plus the significance of five thousand, six hundred and sixty two five thousand, six hundred and sixty two, a couple of more bills the governors in that season where he's signing stuff. When bills are presented to him, he as x amount of days to either sign or veto House bills. Seventy seventy three, sponsored by Stan

McClain of o'calla is tax relief, tax holidays. Putting some math to this, the total relief in this now is such a crystal clear example when you have think about this for a second. Florida is a consumption tax, state. Yes, there are property taxes in school taxes, and we lament that. But Florida is proof that a consumption tax in lieu of a per personal income tax at a state level works and works better when combined with a balanced

budget amendment and a part time legislature. Three legs of a stool. It works. How do I know? Because we're putting one point five billion dollars back into the economy in the form of tax breaks. At checkout there are three holidays or four three or four back to school sales tax holiday. It's going to run July twenty ninth through August eleventh, two different disaster preparedness tax

holidays. We mentioned that yesterday. June first through the fourteenth, August twenty fourth through September sixth, Freedom Month Summer tax holiday the entire month of July.

Admission to music, sporting culture events, tickets to movies, museums, tickets to theater and dance performances, state park passes, use of fitness facilities, water boating equipment, supplies, camping products, fishing products, electric scooters, outdoor supplies like sunglasses, sunscreen, grills, pool chemicals supplies and parts

tax free. The entire month of July, and then a tool time sales tax holiday which runs September first through seventh, hand tools, power tools, work boots, safety equipment, shop lights, toolboxes, belts, plumbing, electrical equipment. You can only afford to do these things when you have an economy that has surplus. We're paying down the little bit of debt that Florida has. We've built up our rainy day fund and that avoids special assessments and

so forth that you would have if you had zero rainy day funds. It's just it's so abundantly clear. It's a better way to govern. And this you know, DeSantis deserves credit for being a good leader and having a north on his compass legislatively speaking, but the framework for this he inherited Florida became this a no income tax state, a state with a balanced budget amendment, a state with a part time legislature. These are smart, good things that

every state and in fact the nation could learn from. Back with more here in the morning Show The Morning Shoe at Preston Scott on news radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Still getting suggestions for vice presidential picks for Donald Trump from our discussion yesterday, got them all day, all night, still coming in this morning, and different names. It's crazy how many people think, you know, this person would be a good choice, this person would be a

good choice. Need to pick someone from one of the states that's a quote battleground state that'll win some votes, key state type pick. Anyway, we'll certainly have plenty of time to discuss that. All right, I said the number five, six and sixty two. This is one of the most incredibly bizarre stories I think I've ever done. Now to put some context to that, there are there are all on average, roughly fifteen to seventeen stories I do a day, sometimes far more than that, sometimes less than that.

But if we use that as the average, if the average is seventeen stories a day times five thousand, one hundred and fifty four, I've done eighty seven thousand, six hundred and eighteen stories over the years, this is one of the single most bizarre ever. And I'm just gonna throw it out there and see if Grant comes to the same conclusion that I did when I saw this short little story. North Carolina Education Lottery had five thousand, six hundred

and sixty two top prize winning tickets Monday for the Pick three drawing. It's a low level drawing that costs you a buck. They have a fifty cent pick three that carries a top prize of two hundred and fifty dollars. The one dollar top prize is five hundred dollars. So the three digit combination was drawn Monday, leading to five thousand, six hundred and sixty two winners. They all picked the same number. Are you ready for the winning number?

Six? Six six? What did I tell you? That's hilarious? Isn't that awesome? Sort of? I say, okay, it's awesome from my perspective as a radio show host. From the perspective of a Christian, that means there are at least fifty six hundred sixty two quasi sort of may be likely Satanists out there playing this lottery game in North Carolina. They they all picked six sixty six and one. Boy, did you have the same thought? I did? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, Like that's hilarious,

but it's like, wow, fifty six hundred winners away. They all picked the same number in the numbers. Oh oh, number sixty sixty six. Alrighty, then alright, it's time Florida man fact or fiction three headlines one guess headline number one Florida man convicted of murder blames sleepwalking as defense. Headline. Two. Florida couple arrested for attempting to sneak into theme park as cast members. Florida man headlined. Three Florida man arrested for trying to get alligator

drunk. All right, that has a lot of potential. Yeah, yeah, which headline are you going for? One? Two or three? I'm gonna go see again. I'm falling for the one that I hope is true, not the one that I think is true. Oh but okay, okay, fair enough at your guests. Three? Yes, sadly no, it's Florida couple arrested for attempting to sneak into theme park as cast members. That

was the most realistic guess I had in my head. But man, just the thought of right, Florida man, here, little gayor gator, here's some Jack Daniels kind of thing that makes me laugh. I gator's got his mouth open, he's shooting shooters in there, Yeah, shaking up a beer and I can see it. I can like it's always the case with these headlines. Every one of them is possible, and I would say almost in

the spirit of Babylon b likely at some point in the future. All Right, we come back the history of media bias with Rob blue of Daily Signal

on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, it's the third hour of the Morning Show with Prestin Scott Show five thousand, one hundred and fifty four crazy right, anyway, Good to be with you, Grant Allen running the radio program as always, I am here Preston Scott located in Studio one B. I got an email back in the middle of April from Rick who wrote, for those of us who truly don't understand, could you do a

segment sometime that explains why the mainstream media are so in the pocket of the Democrats. I assume these people can think for themselves and see where the Democrat policies are not good for this country. What are they gaining for their support and are there gains worth what we're losing? Rick, my friend, I've held onto your email and I have reached out to my friends at Heritage Foundation.

I said, I need somebody to talk about this, and joining us is Rob Bluie Rob is the executive editor for the news outlet for the Heritage Foundation, the Daily Signal, and Rob, thanks for carving out some time for me. How are you? Good morning, Preston great, good to be with you today. All Right, so you get let's say you got that email. What's your first spots before we dig a little bit into the weeds? What's your response to that general question? Well, I mean,

there are so many different directions we could go with it. But you know, frankly, the Democratic Party of today is nothing like the Democratic Party of yesteryear. And there are folks in the news media, the legacy news media, if you will, who are intent on portraying them as the modern,

more progressive and in tune with the American people party. But the reality is that what we've seen under Joe Biden's tenure for the last three and a half years is nothing that provides the American people with the prosperity and direction that this country needs to be going where when look, I know that I'm your senior by a little bit, and I observed this starting to drift. But in fairness, the media has never really been unbuya since we founded this nation.

There have always been little biases inside the media, right. Oh, absolutely. You could go back to the Nixon administration and heuro agnew famously, you know, talkering, talking about the nattering, nabobs, the megatism. You know. So there is a long history of conservative frustration with the media. I think that when Donald Trump came on the scene in twenty fifteen, things

took a turn for the worst, though. I mean, there is a hatred of Trump from so many journalists that I think has probably contributed to some

of the changes that have we've seen in our culture. I mean, you have, obviously the proliferation of social media, where now everybody has a voice, and so much of what you read in outlets like the New York Times of the Washington Post or see on television is really reflective of this animosity toward this you know, successful businessman who all of the sudden came in shook up

our politics nobody else in their lifetime. I don't disagree that Trump brought out the bias on steroids, but Rob, I've you know, I've been doing this show for now, I'm in my twenty third year, and part of this entire program has been based on routinely picking out segments in the media every single day that reflect overt bias. I'm curious. You were the editor in chief of your college newspaper, the Ithaken. If I'm not mistaken, what

was your what was your direction to reporters? I mean, I found that there's been a divide between reporting and op ed that is now totally blurred. That op eds now are used as reports and articles, and we blurred that line when you ran the news department at your college. Were you dealing with that? Certainly? Impression I mind that was that was at a time when I think things were less divided. That was that was before the pushcore election. You know, it's really set us down this path of a red and

blue America. So you know, you it was also pre prior to social media, and so you didn't have all these things. I would I agree with you on the whether you call it an op ed or whether they now label an analysis. Yet you're definitely seeing reporters' opinions leak into what have historically been or fact based news stories. But even beyond that, now you have social media platforms where I think reporters feel free to state, you know,

their their personal beliefs out in the open. And they try to have it both ways. They try to be not only objective, which I don't think really exists, or they are on a X and they are more than happy to comment on the latest legal proceedings in the Trump trial or what have you. And so in the case of the newsroom, I mean, what you try to do is you try to get reporters to focus on the act providing fair and straightforward news reporting, even at the Daily Signal, which does not

hide it. It's conservative perspective on the news. You know, when we're reporting a story, we're going to contact the people who may be in conflict with each other, whether that's Republicans and Democrats, because I you know, truly believe that it's important to give everybody an opportunity to talk. Now, sometimes they choose not to, but at least you can make the effort. Absolutely. Rob Bluie with us, he's executive editor at the Daily Signal and

our guests. We're talking about bias in the media. Will continue next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston Scott, do or do not There is no try on News Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA. You know this could be like trying to figure out who is the first person on the sideline of a football game to score one in the player's mouth because the player didn't want to do it themselves, or maybe they were worried about spreading sickness.

Where did that all start? Trying to figure out where the bias and media started. Rob Bluie with me from the Daily Signal. Rob. I have a theory, and one of my theories is that news reporters oftentimes want to be friends with the people that they're covering, and it compromises their ability to write objectively because they want to be liked, They want to be you know, get in on the inner circle. And so I feel as though a lot of the legacy media outlets can can look no further than they just

tried to be friends with all the wrong people. Is there any truth to that? I do agree with that, President, you have pinpointed one of the pieces of journalism that perhaps listeners don't really you know about or hear about all that often. Now, that's how the sausage is made. So the relationship between a reporter and a source, and that source could be a politician

or a staffer who works for that particular politician. You know, they have an incentive to obviously get good coverage for themselves or their boss, and they dangle these nuggets exclusives or scoops or or you know, tidbits of information that reporters obviously need to impress their boss and get readership or viewership if you're on television. So maintaining a friendly relationship is important. However, the thing that you've pinpointed is that it only seems to go on one side of the aisle.

It seems to be those friendships are on the left, are with the Democratic Party and less so with Republicans. That's not to say that there are on any Republicans who who are have a positive relationship with the news media,

but it just seems to be so skewed in the other direction. Well, I mean, it's borne out by donations to political parties that are in newsrooms across the country and in the legacy outlets in particular, be again Neet, the New York Times, the Washington Post, whatever it might be that they they these are college graduates. Okay, therein lies a partial problem in that they're they're coming out of indoctrination camps. But then they're they're all leaning a

particular direction, but they they've lost their journalistic integrity. Why why is the marketplace not bringing it back? Rob? What's your best guess on why? Gannett, for example, they are shuttering papers across the country because they're circulations dwindled to nothing because people don't trust them. That's right. Trust and media has been historically low, but it's it's you know, currently one of the least trusted institutions in America today, maybe Congress only outranks it, right,

So you know, there are there are a number of factors. I think you pinpointed one of them, and that's the college graduates. So historically, if you go back to even like one hundred years, when you look at at the composition of the media, newspaper men, I mean, there are a lot of people were working class Americans who didn't necessarily have a prestigious Ivy

League degree. And as we've seen from places like the New York Times, they tend to hire people that think and we kind of rotate into that same circle of friends. And so if you have a newsroom that's made up of people who have graduated from Harvard and Yale and Columbia and the places where we're seeing these anti Semitic, anti Israel protests take place. Right now, that's

the type of that's the type of team that you're building. I mean, you are pulling from the very radical left that inhibits many of these college campuses and particularly journalism programs. But I think there's another factor here that you touched

on, and that is the dwindling circulation. I think that as more Americans get their news from social media platforms and turn directly to the source of information, whether that be a lawmaker, whether that be somebody locally in their community who's a particularly intilential voice, they don't need to subscribe to newspapers anymore, and they're looking for alternative sources of information. I want to pick up right

there when we come back. Rob Blue with us, he's executing editor with The Daily Signal, and our guests were talking about the media, what's kind of gone wrong and why? And we'll keep talking next on the Morning Show with Preston's Guy twenty two minutes past the hour with Season News Guy Rob Bluie, executive editor with The Daily Signal. Rob tell me we were just talking

about the impact that online news sources have had. You know, there was a good while that a lot of conservatives would lean on the Drudge Report. Then Matt Drudge seemingly lost his mind, and virtually no one seems to go there anymore. How do you How do you find good sources online for objective

news, not opinion, but news. It's increasingly tough for resident I'll tell you I started in the news business in conservative media back in around two thousand and two, at a time when there was probably you could count on one hand the number of conservative outlets that existed, and there's just been a proliferation of them, not just at the national level, but it's the state level.

So you know, it's it's definitely something that you need to be discerning and somewhat skeptical of as you're looking at your sources of information and news, particularly if you're getting it through social media, because you know, so often things can spread virally even before you know the truth or the facts you know are known. And so my evaluation is, you know, look for names, reputable names of individuals that you know that you can trust and have proven

to be reliable in the past. There are a lot of new sites that pop up each and every day, and well, I think some of them, you know, aspired to do good work. Look and see on their about page, you know what, what's their background? You know? Do they have experience in journalism? Do they have a commitment to the truth and

making corrections and doing all those? And are things that we have experienced, you know, newspeople would deal because even as conservative, let's face it, you know, we in many cases are under more scrutiny to get the facts right because of the watchdogs that are out there that will come after us if we don't. Are there tells out there? For example, when you, as a guy who does this for a living, read an article from somebody out there, are there things that give it away. I'm going to give

you an example of something I've picked up on of late. And some may call this petty. I do not when talking about transgender issues and a specific person and they refer to that person as their trying transgender pronoun as opposed to their biological pronoun. I consider that bad reporting. Now some might say I'm parsing over small things, but I think words matter, especially in your industry, And if we're going to refer to a biological mail as a her,

I find that reporting immediately suspect. I'm so glad you brought this up. So there is what what the journalists call the reporter's bible is the Associated Pressed style Book, and the style book is what I was taught in college let so many others learn, and the the AP style Book unfortunately has adopted a

lot of the woke language of the left, including on that issue. And so it takes organizations and news outlets like the Daily Signals and others and others to develop their own style book and really adhere to the words that that don't cater to one ideology or the other. And so we we do take very that very seriously. And I would I would be mindful of news organizations that just adhere to the left standard of language as opposed to one that may be

more traditional. But then the other thing I would, I would say in terms of things to to certainly evaluate and and look at me, I still adhere to this as much as I can. Three, you know, three sources per story. I mean that way, you don't just have one person who is trying to push their agi, but you have others who are commenting on it. And so look at the people who are quoted in a story or how many of the reporter may cite in the story, and the more

that are generally quoted, the more credible I think the story is. I gave an example, and I've given it a few times about how the Democrats leak information to the media and you can sometimes find pending legislation that's going to be coming based on the media blurb. And I cited and still have printed a list of headlines spanning a three to four week period that were virtually identical.

And it's not because they picked up the same AP story. They picked up the same release from someone inside the Democrat party up in Congress, and they ran with it and then sure enough, legislation followed. How often are pumps being primed by the mainstream media now to do the bidding of the political parties? Oh, I would say it happens on a daily basis. I mean, what you're talking about is kind of floating a trial balloon to see how it goes over. So you you would give the scoop or the exclusive

to a particular reporter or maybe you know several reporters. They would report the news on that to see what kind of reaction it gets maybe on social media or or or even among influential audiences. And and you do that so that when you do introduce a piece of legislation, you're not embarrassed or you know, you can maybe anticipate some of the questions that you may be asked. So it happens quite regularly, and it's probably both happening on moments to the

Democrat and Republicans side. I would say that Democrats tend to be more effective. Uh, they have you know, a friendlier allies in the news media. Absolutely, they've got more donors sitting out there. Rob, thanks very much for the time this morning, and uh and we're going to circle around and visit sometime again soon. Thank you, Thank you, Preston appreciate it. Rob Bluey, executive director with the Daily Signal, our guest. And

this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You know, if you look at it, there's been media bias largely throughout history in this country. And I mean literally going back to the beginning. Remember John Adams tried to tried to suggest that the media had no

right to criticize the government. So it's it's it's been more adversarial. And I would argue that an adversarial media to the federal government is far better for this country than what we have right now, where it's adversarial only to one party or one set of ideals. But you know, we didn't, you know, find the the the proverbial starting point for media bias. But I

observed it slipping in the nineteen seventies as a kid. You know, I was involved in our school newspaper in high school, and you know, I was just a voracious reader of the news from when I was young middle school. It started for me. I was literally reading the newspapers and you know, periodical magazines, Time Newsweek at the time was far more trusted than it is now. But anyway, Big stories in the press Box brought to you

by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertise. One member of the FED is saying, he's president of Minneapolis Fed Reserve, that there are likely not going to be rate cuts this year. Inflation is still a problem. Wait, I thought we had a reflation an inflation Reduction Act, remember that, Remember the cost remember the promises. Yeah, Democrats as a party sadly some Republicans sign on to it, but as a party, that's what they accel in.

They make all kinds of grandiose promises, and the ones you got to be paying attention to are the ones that are a little bit more ambiguous, the transformational kind of promises. Like a Barack Obama said, guess what, he's keeping his word. He's just doing it through Obiden. They're doing exactly what they said they would do. They're transforming and changing this country. They're ruining

us as a result. Average credit card debt up to sixty five hundred dollars per person who has debt, who has credit card debt, social Security in trouble. That's a topic I'm going to hold on to and talk about with Cat Camick next month, and the other members of Congress that we get on the program. Need to get Tommy Tubberville back on. Ask a few questions there. The classified documents trial here in Florida of Donald Trump has been put

on hold indefinitely. That's interesting. I wonder if they're pursuing the arguments being made that Jack Smith is illegal. He's a special counsel, he was not approved by Congress, he does not have the authority that he's wielded. This entire case should be thrown out on the technicality. It would be like you know, me walking into a courtroom. I'm not authorized to do that. I'm not allowed to unless I'm the defendant. I choose to defend myself,

and the person who does that is generally a fool. But I can't walk in to defend somebody else as their attorney, like my cousin Vinnie. In the same way Jack Smith, it's not allowed to do what he's doing. He never has been. And then lastly, the Boy Scouts of America changing its name. I think this is a really big story. I probably should talk more about that, and I think I will. On the other side forty minutes after the hour, still more to come, do not leave morning

show with Preston Scott. I think it's a very important story because of the role that the Boy Scouts have played in our country. If you if you go back to its found and what its whole purpose was, and now you go to Boy Scouts of America is about to become Scouting America to foster a more inclusive organization. They've already gone to an organization that is paying out two point four to six billion in claims against its leadership and volunteers related to sexual

abuse of boys. They made seismic changes allowing gay youth to openly be involved girls trans leadership, that's gay trans whatever. They've lost their moral compass, they've lost the things that made them the Boy Scouts. So they're changing the name February the eighth next year to Scouting America. And I again, it breaks my heart, but this is not the Boy Scouts of even twenty years

ago. I am c the Boy Scouts of America. Dinner here and for the region of the Boy Scouts when Oliver North came as their keynote speaker before he got in trouble with the NRA, had a falling out, and it was the last time I ever had anything to do with them. I saw the changes coming, and I would say to any of you that are still involved, and I'm sorry this is going to really upset some of you, because when I say this, it always does. You need to get out.

There are other options. They're not perfect, but there are a heck of a lot better than what's happened to the Boy Scouts Scouting America. Meaning we're not going to We've lost the definition of boys. We've lost the inclusiveness of boys only, we've lost the moral litmus test of finding people that are not overtly living in sin. We try to hold leadership to a standard, and you could say, well, look what that standard led to two point

four to six billion. You're right, that indicates how far the Boy Scouts had fallen a few decades ago. When you compromise your moral anchors, you drift. You just drift. And that's what's happened to the Boy Scouts. Another story here that just needs to be on your radar. This week,

Columbia University canceled its commencement. Other schools are doing the same. Man, if I'm a graduate and I've been there and I've done my time, and I've done my grades, I've worked my butt off to get my grades, to get my degree, and I don't get a chance to have my family and friends come to witness my commencement, I am. I can't use the word very unhappy. Yeah, don't become a donor, that's for sure. Yeah, forget me out in my association. Yeah, get out, and

don't give another dime to that. Those crumbling failing. Speaking of failing institutions, boy Scouts, Columbia, other universities, you name it, and your point about getting out is totally right that if you can't see that it's crumbling all around you and you're still hanging on like I'm sorry, you're just not gonna make it. It is. We are long past due for parallel institutions. Columbia is sitting on a thirteen billion billion dollar endowment and they can't figure

out how to pull off commencement. You're kidding me, right, That's how inept this leadership is in much of our country. An unbelievable kicker to end the show. Next, if only you, sir, lived in the Hiroshima Prefecture in western Japan, would I have the competition for your baby? What? Yes, seven hundred babies took part in the Hiroshima Gokoku Shine. It's the event on Children's Day May fifth to pray for the health and well being

of children, and one of the events is the crying sumo. Not making this up, buddy, baby six to eighteen months are dressed in traditional happy coats and headbands. They're placed in the sumo ring across from each other. The baby who cries first is the winner in advances. Huh, they just sit there and the first baby that cries wins and moves on. One mother thought her sixteen month old boy might not cry so easily, but he did.

Some babies burst into tears before their bout even begins. Some bouts end in a draw because neither baby cried. They just stare at each other happily. See that's the opposite of what I thought, or what you would think, Like the one that doesn't cry, right, but no, no is the winner. But no, the one that cries is the winner. I'm thinking, Man, you put your child down, that's it. They're gone.

Yeah, So maybe the trick there to advance and win is to like make sure you got a little something on the pacifier, on the binkie. Yeah, and you drop your child down on the middle there and and away from the opponent, and then you just go or yeah, pop the binkie out and crying begins. Yeah, you just yeah, take it, take their toy. That's right, sumo. Crying crying sumo kind of sick. Honestly though, I mean to competition, to like get your child to cry,

it's kind of kind of cruel. Yeah, I'm just going to leave it right there. Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show on on WFLA, our first today. Starting the program Colossians four versus five and six, Big stories in the press box to reset the program. Credit card dead passing sixty five hundred dollars on average. Social Security in trouble, but it has a year longer to survive. But the ideas for

solving it are just they're not the right ones. One of the presidents of one of the Fed Reserve outposts, this one in Minneapolis, said, yeah, there's probably not going to be a rate hike increased rate reduction this year. What does that tell you when the plan was to reduce the rates to help Joe Biden's election, chances where Joe could say, see, look at that the rates man, they're coming down. Man, that'd be good.

Can I have some ice cream? Trump's classified document trial indefinitely delayed doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Special Counsel Jack Smith is illegal and that's not some wide eyed He's literally not allowed to do this. Why is he being allowed even in the courtroom? He shouldn't be allowed. Boy Scouts of America, changing its name next year to Scouting America. Teachers fleeing the unions,

I'll just say it again. Here's your option penfl dot org. Tomorrow, we'll do it again and then some I can't wait
