I'm pressing the button that says intro sweep and nothing's happening, just say, you know, yeah, it should be on the wall there. It's gonna be it. Hi, everybody, good morning and welcome. It's awesome. I'll show you good morning and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I pressed it. It's Tuesday, June fourth, and show fifty one seventy two. But who's counting. John's over there running the radio program and sort
of and it's great to be with you. We knew this was coming because how many years has it been since you've actually been forced into duty here? It's been a few. I want to say last summer was the last time I sat across from me? Was it really that recently? Yeah, but it was. I think it was a one off, and I can't remember why. I thought. Could he possibly have forgotten how to run this show in a year? I don't understand it. Calls himself a broadcast professional.
No, Yeah, we as I announced last Friday, Grant's last day was Friday. He might be a cameo appearance here and there moving forward, but Jared will be in. But we do have somebody we're zeroing in on to be the new producer of the morning show. I think it's producer number twelve or thirteen. In the course of my career. We spent the weekend counting my wife and I did. Yeah, we did. And for the listening audience, that is a fairly low number given the amount of time we Yeah.
Sort of. The thing. The thing that I fight is, are you really that hard to work with? No, I swear I'm not. Only a couple of those producers would say I'm tough to work with. But they deserved it, that's all I'll say. They deserved it. And actually there's just one. But the reality is is it's just it's a young man's job and it's you know, it's a it's now as you well know better
than anybody. John oversees the operations for two clusters of radio stations. So this is like this is like a pimple on an elephant's butt in his world because he deals with so many other things that is that is absolutely not true. But there are twelve radio stations exactly so. And because this one is an I mean, come on, it's mostly an autopilot kind of station. I do the live show and in our show, we're kind of self sufficient. Twenty one hours a day. It does its thing, and you don't
have a bunch of people to manage here. No, it's it's and so we're sort of set and forget that's kind of what we are, but at any rate, grateful to have John here. We start, as always with some scripture First Corinthians twenty nine to eleven. It says, yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power, and the glory and the victory and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and in the earth, is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are
exalted as head above all that. I start, of course with scripture, because that's what I think ya to do. I just believe you're better throughout your day if you gain perspective at the start of it. And so we do this every single morning and try to speak something into your life that hopefully matters. Now we're taking it a step further on Mondays because I've been challenged by some ladies to say, you know, the manly minute's cool, but
we need we need some godly men out there because we're lacking. And I posited yesterday. The reason our country is in the position it's in is because men that claim to be Christians aren't. They're just not acting like it. They're not they're not fulfilling the role of being a godly leader of their home.
And so we're watching marriages fall apart, we're watching families fall apart, and it largely rests on the shoulders of men, where some are being dragged to church by their wife or their kids or both, and they're not leading their family to church and in those relationships and growing in God. But this verse is a reminder that the heavens and the earth belong to God. We are this is we're stewards. We're we're passing through. It's not a one
of us. That's that's going to avoid unless the Lord comes back and stops all the nonsense, which quite honestly, I mean, thank you for that, Joe Biden. You're ushering back Jesus's return ever sooner. But I digress. We we have to always acknowledge that we're in this world, we're not of it. We just we are temporary citizens. That's how it works. Ten minutes past the hour, come back with the look inside the American Patriots Almanac, and we'll just kind of get started. There will be some rough
edges today. Let's just you know, so we'll just well, we're not running the music we would normally run even now. So I'm just I'm just telling everybody that to expect that. See, I'm trying to do you a favor, okay, because everyone has very high expectations around here despite listening to me for twenty three years, because I certainly lower those expectations every time I open my mouth. But yeah, we'll come back. I mean, are we gonna you can at least hit the sting? How about the sting?
Is the sting available? Is that there? No, that's kind of not it either. But that's okay. We'll be fine. That'll work. It'll work. It'll take us to next here in the Morning Show, consider him your Truth Detector, The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven. Do WUFLA if I could take a picture and share it, you can No, I can't. I can't do it. There are so many buttons, the writing is so small, and they're not in order. Well no, no, no, no, no, no, it's it's
a yeah, yeah, it's you know how this system works. It's just it's you add stuff and it just you can't put it in order. It's just it just is what it is. Anyway, Let's take a look. June fourth, that's the date we are. It's he's called the Paul Revere of the South. His ride isn't so well remembered, but his but his ride was every bit is daring, if not more so. June seventeen eighty one, late in the Revolutionary War, British army had overrun much of Virginia.
Trader Benedict Arnold again. Forever known you Trader. You're Benedict Arnold. Your name's synonymous with being one of the worst souls ever. That's just like brutal, that's like being immortalized in the Bible for being a jerk. Forever, your name has been etched into history being an absolute loser. So it is with Benedict Arnold. He had pillaged his way up to James River to Richmond, forcing Governor Thomas Jefferson in the legislature to flee west to Charlottesville.
Lord Cornwallace ordered Colonel Bannistre Tarleton to lead a surprise raid on Charlottesville to capture Jefferson, Patrick, Henry Richard, Henry Lee and others. Bloody ban Banistery set out about two hundred and fifty mounted troops to nab the unsuspecting Virginians.
Quick note, Banistery Tarlton Banistery is the dude in the movie The Patriot that is that's that is, that's who he is, sort of created after the movie The Patriot is a compilation of actual events from the Revolutionary War that they just turned into a fictional story with Benjamin Martin mel Gibson's character. But the dude that plays Tarleton is perfect and and it's and it's that's who this is,
Bannister Tarleton, that's who. It's it's fashion after. On the night of June third, Captain Jack Jewett of the Virginia Militia was at the Cuckoo Tavern in Luisa County, asleep on the lawn. According to some accounts, when the passing Calvary awakened him. Guessing what they were up to, the twenty seven year old Jewet leaped on his horse galloped off to Charlottesville, forty
miles away. The British were on the main road and the six foot four Jewet took trails through hilly backwoods near Full Moon, his only light to guide him through the underbrush. He arrived at Monticello Jefferson's home in the early hours of June fourth, after rousing the occupants and accepting a glass of madera. Hello, he little Madera. He got everybody out, So that was the
event. Seventeen eighty one, Jack Jewett warns Thomas Jefferson that the British were on their way to arrest him, thus escaping arrest, and it could have been a turning point of the war. The stories in our country's founding where you just see the hand at well. As David McCullough wrote in the book seventeen seventy six, which is a history of the Revolution, it is a brilliant book. Mcculluugh writes so frequently about the providence of God's hand and this
is just another another in a litany of examples of just remarkable interventions. Seventeen ninety two, Captain George Vancouver claims Puget Sound for Britain. There you go Vancouver. So where did we get Vancouver in Canada? That's it right there, It's amazing how we do these segments, and we learn how cities are named, not just obviously in America, but now to our north in Canada,
the Socialist state of Country of Canada, eighteen ninety six. Henry Ford makes a successful night time test drive of his first horseless carriage called the Quadricycle the Streets of Detroit nineteen twenty seven in Wooster, Massachusetts, United States, beats Britain to win golf's first Ryder Cup, and in nineteen forty two, Battle of Midway, turning point in the War of the Pacific, begins another
classic World War Two movie. All Right, seventeen past the Hour, A little late Back with more here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty three minutes after the hour. Once again, my clock is not sync up. What is up with that? I have? I'm making my problem with yours. I We have a clock here that runs our show, and being to the second matters at the top of every hour. When we get to the top of the hour, we have what are called inside our world heartbreaks,
which means non negotiable. If I'm in the middle of a sentence, I'm gonna like that. It's just gonna be ugly, just gonna be absolutely ugly. But I like to have in front of me, not to my side, the exact time. And so I have what's called an atomic clock, and this clock I finally got sync back up a couple weeks ago, and then it eventually just falls behind by a few seconds, and it annoys me because I like to know exactly that we're in sync, and so it's it's
off and it's driving me crazy. Anyway, I'm not obsessive compulsive. I really am not. I just occasionally have things that, for example, I'm gonna be fine, it's off, it just is. I'll be fine. It's just gonna annoy me. So anyway, I don't do you follow auctions at all of any kind, you know, like it's does it in trust you? Every once in a while you'll see something for a particular vehicle going up for auction or a particular art piece, and I think it's interesting to
see how certain master orcs go for right. Right, So is that like the category is see being biased? I would assume that you would be interested in anything to do with the music world, you know, anything going up for auction of a famous artist or anything like that. Sure if there's a Hendrix's guitar or handwritten Lenon lyrics, Yeah, yeah, that would catch your eye. Yep. See, I'm like borderline obsessed with all auctions. I
mean, it just doesn't matter. I talk about them endlessly on this program. I participate in auctions though my budget is very, very limited. I'm trying to think of the most I've ever spent on anything at auction in a typical like a historic auction or anything like that. I'm so picky because I know my limitations. But it's like I got a King George the third signed document sending someone to serve in the on his behalf from Scotland in the war,
the Revolutionary War. The guy's papers commissioning him to serve in His Majesty's army, and he got shipped over to the United States to fight. And I've got, you know, King George the third signature on that document. But no one else bid on it, so I got it for a song anyway. A twenty foot Stegosaurus fossil is going up for auction in July at
Sotheby's New York. Here's what's unique about it. It's the entire thing they've got nearly every single small, minute large from the plates on the the back of it. You name it, they've got the whole fossil. And what's interesting is it's it's named at Apex. It's eleven feet tall, twenty feet long. It is an herbivore. If you know your dinosaurs, if you've watched Jurassic Park at all, you know your dinosaurs a little bit. The
voice of Richard Kylie as well. But they're expecting it to sell for six mil now who knows. And if you're interested in following it, it is in July on the from the eighteenth through the twenty seventh. It appears it's
from the late Jurassic period. What's interesting about this world of auctions is that Christie's had to cancel a twenty million dollar auction in twenty twenty two because a palaeontologist said the t rex they had was phony, that a bunch of the bones were fake, they did not fit the t rex, they were not t rex bones. Canceled it because apparently the guy was right. But historically sothabies, for example, they've done this before. Sue. The t rex
sold for eight point three million. It was the first dinosaur to be sold at auction, and apparently it or one of its cousins. No, it was. It was Christie's that sold Stan another t Rex for thirty two million. Thirty two million. It's on display now in Abu Dhabi. Anyone shocked that it's there. I think I'm most shocked that it's on display and not in just some sheikh's home. But anyway, you know, his wife's allike really well, Like I said, this one's at least in a museum.
But if you want to pull your money together, I'm just saying you can. You can, you know, weigh in and perhaps I can link you together with others if you want to get us Degasaurus. So there you go. Twenty eight minutes after the hour, come back with the big stories in the press box. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, we're back. We're to Sam. It's so much fun figuring out everything over there. See, I intentionally don't know much of anything about how the
other side of this room works. See, we have two suites. We have actually three suites in the in studio one we have a B and C and C is the ready room. B is my studio and studio A is where John is this morning, and John just John doesn't worry about our show a whole lot, and so that's not true. Why would you have to worry about our show. Where's where we are self sufficient? So he's just he just now that's the history bed. There's that's our history bed. So
we can that's for tomorrow morning. Do you want to know what I've been doing. I've been moving it from the giant wall of everything to just the you know, just just the everyday things we're gonna need. And oh, so you're reorganizing. I'm not reorganized, and I've created a kind of a quick shot. Oh so that's how it's gonna be, Paige all right, friends, Now, just to put some context on this, this is like
having your cousin visit and they rearrange your house for you. They just they just come in and say, you know, it's this just isn't efficient. We need to move things around in your house. But we have to let him do it because he's our boss. So anyway, Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grove of Creative Marketing and Digital Expertise. Just a snapshot here because we got to we're running so late this morning, we
got to take a break in about a minute and a half. Please, please please, The Biden economy has driven people to credit because the economy is so dreadfully bad, and part of that store credit cards. Now they're not all made equal, but get this, these spaving cards, and they're called spaving cards because they hook you with if you spend more, you save. But then they hook you on these cards. Listen to what the APR average is right now. Right now, the APR average is twenty eight point ninety
three percent on most of these cards. That's taking all of these special in store cards, throwing them together, and that's what they're averaging, which means if you get sideways on this, you are going to be paying the minimums for life and you'll be paying interest forever. So just a quick FYI, be careful there, Fauci yesterday before the House Selects Subcommittee on the Coronavirus. I can't. I don't know how else to tell you. He just lied.
He just brutally lied. And will share some of that as we go through the morning, as time permits. Also, a quick note here recalls Florida based Fresh Start proto seat produce sales stores in fourteen states are pulling cucumbers back because of bacterial contamination. Cucumbers were shipped in bulk in Alabama, Florida, of course, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia. And so there's a likelihood of salmonella with some of this stuff. So if in doubt, take it back or throw it out and just buy some buy it fresh. So there's a massive recall underway there. And uh. And then lastly, this morning, Federal Appeals Court in Oregon telling the state you're gonna have to release a bunch of people you've arrested because you haven't appointed them defense attorneys. And we'll unpack that. And that's just a
train wreck, which is what comes with Oregon. Now, forty one minutes after The Hours Morning Show with Preston Scott, they're gonna get a I'm just reach which knock knock? Who's that? Sh on WFLA just something flash across the street on Fox two thirds of Girls five to seven feel loneliness. O MG. See this is what happens when you introduce screens to your kids when they're toddlers, and they get too much screen time and they are spend all
their time looking down. They don't know how to make eye contact with people they don't know. Isn't it ironic that social media is producing the most unsociable generation in history. It's remarkable people don't know how to make eye contact. You want to teach your son or daughter to be employable. Teach them to make eye contact. Teach them to look a supervisor, an adult, a
manager, and owner in the eye and to answer questions directly. If they can just I mean, that's right up there with tie their shoes and coordinate their dress. If you can pull that off, your son or daughter immediately elevates to the top of the list, simply because of these fundamental, simple cues, social cues, looking someone in the eye, talking to them, not having their head buried, putting their phone away, don't have it out. It's almost an immediate job offer. It really is, all right,
because I have to point this out, Joe Biden. Our justice system has endured nearly two hundred and fifty years, and it literally is the cornerstone of America. Our justice system that justice should be respected, that you would now, and that we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It's as simple as that. That's in response to Donald Trump accurately calling out the judge in New York for not allowing him an appropriate defense and for basically rigging the
election. Now, a very renowned Democrat, Alan Dershowitz, who has been a guest on this program, I'll point out, has come out and said he's holding the jury much more responsible than I. I was like, Hey, the jury can only act on what they're given, and so I'm cutting the jury a little bit of a slack here. But Dershowitz isn't. And I'll get to that hopefully later in the program. But here's what I wanted to point out with Joe's comments. Two days earlier Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rally,
dozens of people probably there Supreme Court. He talked about the fact that, let me quote here, the Supreme Court blocked me from leaving student debt, but they didn't stop me. How's that for respecting the court. That's the hypocrisy that drives us nuts with politicians. Joe is mocking the Supreme Court said you do not have authority Nancy Pelosi said, you don't have the authority to
forgive student loans. He's doing it anyway, and he has to wait, or rather not he and courts have to wait for someone to have standing to sue to stop it. It's absurd. And so for him to lecture on what we're obvious, and trust me, I would bet a happy meal and
then some that the ruling of New York is going to be overturned. It might even be overturned in New York because it's that egregious, everything from the jury instructions to the entering of evidence in closing arguments, which is again a violation to the I mean, they allude to federal charges, but don't allow the defense to have the former chairman of the Federal Elections Commission testify on what
is or isn't a crime worth fining. You don't allow that. But you allude to federal crimes being committed and that it's okay to consider that, but you don't allow the defense to rebut the fact that there was a federal crime, this was judicial misconduct. One oh one, This is what would be This will go into a book somewhere as a classic case of how a judge operated with complete disregard to the laws and to the guidance that should operate a
courtroom. That's what's coming anyway back with more. We come back a little a look back in time with doctor Anthony Fauci and the Morning Shield players. Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott, no matter where, no matter how. Thank you so much for making us part of your morning. John's over there in Studio one A. I am here in Studio one B. It's a Morning Show with Preston
Scott. And yesterday we mentioned the emails that Fauci and his staff have tried to hide from anyone doing a freedom of information request, and they did it. This is now. These are documents inside the House Select Committee. They have evidence, they have proof they intentionally misspelled words so that searches for those
words wouldn't pop up. They used personal email accounts for government business, and that is a big time no no. But if you want the coup de gras, data from the National Institutes of Health itself, they received from late twenty twenty one through twenty twenty three, seven hundred and ten million dollars in royalties during the pandemic seven hundred and ten million dollars. Almost all of that cash six hundred and ninety went to the National Institute of Allergy and Effectious Disease.
That's the agency led by Anthony Fauci and two hundred and sixty of its scientists. Six hundred and ninety million dollars went to Fauci's boys. He said, I got none of it. When you start adding up the revelations that we're getting, and I got an email here from a listener. And another thing that he's said in testimony, he confesses that he made up the six foot rule. He also said he was unaware of any studies recommending masks for
kids. Do you remember us playing the interview early on sixty minutes where the guy said should I be? Should I? Should I be going out? And the guy who's asking him is a doctor? Should I be going out and getting a mask? He says, no, unless you're you're crazy and you're a hypochondriac. No, it's not going to make any difference. Two weeks later, everyone's masking up. He said, you got a mask up?
There was never science supporting it. There still isn't. Then he said we're not gonna we are not going to mandate vaccines, and then months later he says this about our children. I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea. And remember, Jake, this is
not something new. We have mandates in many places, in schools, particularly public schools, that if in fact you want a child to come in We've done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rebella. The problem is he's conflating it. A coronavirus is not mumps, measles, polio, and rebella, which are all human only viruses. Such a liar, and the irony is here. I am this uneducated hick, and I know the science better than he does, and he's the highest paid public
official in the government. Get your brain around that. I told you the truth was going to come out. I told you that those of us that were telling you there was no vaccine that could stop this would be proven. Right it's happening. Hey, look at us second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. How are you if I passed? And it's June fourth show, fifty one seventy two. Sadly Day twelve thirty one of America held a hostage. But we move into the second hour and a lot of things
to talk about. Of course, this is you know, for me, June is about my birthday, my granddaughter's birthday, my dad's birthday, my brother in law's birthday. It's it's not about the other nonsense. I refuse to allow the month to get hijacked. I will talk about things as they're relevant, and sadly, this is one of those things, you know, I don't think I don't think I will ever understand how so many on the left side of the aisle are blinded by the efforts to sexualize our children.
I mean, why do we care what grade schoolers think about sexuality? What what sick twisted minds think that that's even a subject matter that's relevant to children. It's not. It just isn't. And so with that in mind, I share this because sadly, and sometimes I suppose you could say it's unavoidable. I don't know. We have more and more parents giving children at a
younger age screen time. We talked about it some last hour. Social media video screens games have been miniaturized now where kids heads are buried in a screen, hours and hours and hours. We've talked about, we've chronicled. That's how predators start grooming. They pretend to be a classmate, a fellow kid, and they start gaming with these other kids and they're messaging them and next thing you know, it starts to spiral into something really dark and sinister.
And so, because more and more kids are on screens, and more and more preschoolers are on screens, and here's what parents do, with the best of intentions. Oftentimes they try to find things that are appropriate, wholesome for their children to look at. Now, there's a part of me that wants to say, time out. How did we survive before phones? How did we survive before laptops and video games? How did how in the heck did we do it? Is there anything there that we can grab hold of?
I don't know, baking with your kids, gardening with your kids, whatever. But here's why I bring all of this up because Miss Rachel is a thing online. Apparently never heard of her. She's a YouTube creator and her popularity is with preschoolers and Miss Rachel on TikTok. Miss Rachel for littles ten million subscribers is celebrating Pride Month. Why why what is the obsession with talking about transgender gender, lesbianism, bisexuality, gay? Mean, why is there
an obsession with talking about this stuff with children? I'll tell you the answer. The answer is to decid sensitize our kids. If you do not recognize this as an absolute overt effort, you are living in an alternate world. She said in response. Her name is Rachel Acurso what an appropriate name to those who are going to comment they can't watch this show anymore because of this support, No worries, much love your way, God, bless God,
bless you sure about that. I'm not chasing fame or views. I'm standing strong in love. So she's just announced it. She doesn't care what you think, and she doesn't care if you move on. So I'm recommending you take her at her word. But then I want you to double back and ask the question, why the obsession with our children in our grip eight schools are public schools, elementary schools? Why what's this all about? It's just wrong and parents, Miss Rachel. Now you do what you want with it,
but now you are you're you're accountable to what you know. Eleven minutes past the hour, come back with check weather, in traffic and more here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yes, there's certain categories of things, crimes, whatever that you For example, I'm gonna give you one here, and I want you to imagine who the likely perpetrator might be, what they would look like, because we it's like in our world, in the
world of radio. I remember when I first started my first professional job. I was a senior in high school. I was doing news for an FM KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona. And that's think about this now, nineteen seventy seven FM news. That was a bit of an oxymoron back in the day because you just didn't do news on FM top forty music stations. Just wasn't something you did. So this was like cutting edge, and so I'm hired
to do the afternoon news. And then eventually I went to work for another station, into a contemporary station, KOYI, which was the big gorilla in the market, and I was doing you know, odd stuff. I was like a news reporter and the sports reporter and a weekend features reporter, and I would interview the artists of the day. I interviewed Captain and t'aneil, and you know Pat Boone and you know Bob Yuker who was one of my
dad's partners. And so you got these weird assignments. And then I produced the sports talk show and would occasionally host it, and then I went to work for a Christian radio station. I left all of that, just started following my faith. And I remember people writing in because you would get letters. You didn't an email, No, you got letters. And people would hear my voice and they would think I was like in my forties and that I was a bald. They just had this image of a bald, very
large man in his forties. You have images. You hear a voice, and you have an image, and it's like only now. You know, back when we started in radio, it was anonymous. You could wander around town and no one would know who you are because your face is nowhere. That's gone now absolutely your face is everywhere, and so people recognize and so forth. But I say serial slingshot shooter, Okay, someone who just they fire off a slingshot and they do it all over the place for a period
of years, terrorizing others with your thinking. This person had to start as a as a tweener middle schooler, right, is that the image you have in your head a middle schooler that then grow you know, they just kind of like it becomes an obsession to them. But they had to start at middle school? Right? I mean? Is that the image you have some freckle faced or acne plagued little kid that then all of a sudden is now a young adult all these years later, and he just couldn't stop doing it,
Dennis the Menace as an adult. Yes, yes, you know what we're gonna do with that preconception. Blow it up. The dude was eighty one. Dude was eighty one. California guy named Prince King arrested after a lengthy investigation. They found ball bearings and a slingshot in his home. He had been firing it at cars, homes, at people. Didn't hit anybody, but had been terrorizing his neighborhood for better than a decade, and they
finally caught him. But get this epilogue. Not only did they catch him, they arrested him, released him on recognisance on his own recognisance days later, found dead, he died in his home. They say of heart disease. Now did he accelerate a heart disease with some kind of action? I don't know, but it's interesting that he had been. I mean he was. He's in his eighties firing off slingshots at people, ball bearings. It's crazy. But see, you just you never know, you never know.
Oh and see now you hear my voice. You think I'm just this very large, very large man, and you'd be shocked to find out how svelt and fit and muscular I am. See, because the boy it just doesn't fit or not. Seventeen minutes after the Hour back but more including some Florida rankings you can be proud of. Next twenty three Past the Hour Morning Show with Preston Scott. US congress Woman Cat Camick will not be joining us this
morning, as we thought she would. A family emergency kind of cropped up, and so we'd hope to push to next week, but that didn't work out. So we're just gonna push to July, so she'll be back with us, back with us in July. We do have a manly minute still to come and next hour, fascinating story I've been I got this story late last week and It's a story that we would call an evergreen story, which means I can talk about it anytime I want. It's not really time related,
and so I hold on to those stories. I have a massive file of stories that I just find interesting. This one though, a thirty five year old cold case solved by a high school class, and I mean literally the case solved a murder case thirty five years old by a group of kids. Cool story, and so we'll talk about that next hour, as well as some other things. We will take a trip back in time, connect a big story in the press box with something we did or during the pandemic.
The Morning Show players Florida. This is a study by wallet hub, ranked top of all states in the country for startup activity and economic health. Best in startup activity, second best in economic health. Overall, Florida was named as having the seventh best economy in the country, fourth in economic activity, seventh in change in GDP sixteenth and unemployment rate twenty fourth. This is interesting to me. Twenty fourth in government surplus deficit per capita. How is
that possible? Say that again? Twenty fourth in government surplus and deficit per capita, Surplus and deficits capacity the kind of a ratio. I'm trying to figure that one out. Because we have cut taxes years in a row, we've added to the savings. We have one of the strong I mean, obviously we've got one of the strongest economies, but we have the lowest cost
of governance of virtually any state in the country. The number of workers per one hundred thousand in the state is I mean remarkably low, which is good for taxpayers. And I always make you state workers very angry with me when I say that that state wages should generally cap in a given position, that you should either move up or find work in the private sector, that otherwise you're just constantly going to have to raise taxes to raise revenue to pay higher
salaries. But more than that, I think we're just we still are a little maybe top heavy in management in state government when the rank and file do the work, and it's kind of like, you know, it's a really good snapshot of the inefficiencies in almost all governments, and Florida, though Florida is very efficient by comparison to most, there are still inefficiencies. And the
best evidence ever is watching someone do roadwork. Roadwork crews where you've got a handful of poor souls out there really slinging it, and I don't know how many supervisors in hard hats and reflective vests and trucks with really cool flashy lights, which, oh, by the way, memo, when you're driving down the road, turn off your lights. You're not law enforcement, you're not an emergency personnel person. Turn on your lights when you're at your site and
you need to warn people. But I swear some of you you've got your lights on not because you forgot, but because you're on a little bit of an ego trip and you think you can get people to move over for you. Come on, let's be honest. But the inefficiencies are there still. I don't want to take away from the fact that Florida is doing well. Yet I still think I have these discussions with sal Newso now with Consumers Defense,
and I'm quite certain we'll continue to have these discussions. I still think there are a lot of ways to make it better and easier for people to start and operate a business. It's cumbersome, and I understand you got to protect consumers. I get all that, but make that easier too, you know, it's so difficult to watch someone have an idea. And I know people that go through this. They have an idea, they want to start a business, little side hustle, and they want to do it legally.
They want to do it right. But man, the hurdles, the paperwork off. How about we just simplify things then you don't need it. A wait, you don't need all those government never mind. Twenty eight minutes after the hour, let's do some news. Come back with the big Stories in the press Box and yes, a trip back in the way back machine. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm gonna try to be disciplined here the best I can. Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by
Grove of Creative Marketing and digital Expertise. Warning. Credit cards are just going nuts, So I'm just I'm being Uncle Preston here and I'm s S strongly advising you do everything you can to stop using them. Only use them if if you are disciplined enough to use them in lieu of cash, but have the cash, keep the cash to pay the credit card bill when it comes.
I understand the idea of using it to earn points miles rewards fine, as long as you're disciplined and don't pull your cash reserves that pay that bill as well. The average store credit card, like when Biff's, you know, department store offers you a credit card in store, read the fine print, make sure you know what you're doing. The average right now is nearly twenty nine percent interest. So just saying it can devastate your personal economy if
you get this wrong. And sadly, as I predicted, and I hate to be that guy, but I told you where the economy was going, what was going to happen. People are having to resort to paying for routine basics necessities on credit because they don't have the money. Inflation is outstripped wages. I warned you what would happen if we got the government involved in minimum wages. It was going to cause inflation a spiral. That's what's happened.
Anthony Fauci. I'm going to hold that. Oregon Federal Appeals Court Friday, just getting to this story. It just came out ruled that Oregon defendants must be released from jail after seven days if they do not have a defense attorney. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said Oregon is responsible for upholding legal protections for criminal defendants, and if they don't have a public defender assigned within seven days,
the defendants are released. Get your head around that, and get your head around the possibility Oregon could be miss They've mismanaged their public defender system for apparently decades, run by Democrats. It's what you get, soft on crime, and there you go. And so as a result, right now, thirty two hundred defendants did not have a public defender according to dashboard on the Oregon Judicial Department. They need five hundred more defense attorneys. They're not going
to get them, and so you watch what happens now. Serious criminals are likely to be released in the midst of all of this. Forty minutes past the hour, come back talk a little bit about Fauci and take you back in time on the Way Back Machine. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Listening to Anthony Fauci talk is like ripping open a wound. Yeah, I had my surgery last week in my mouth. It would be like ripping that open again, not last week, week before. It would be
like ripping that wide open again. Listening to him talk, taking the advice of podcast is conspiracy theorists, unhinged Facebook memes deprive people of life saving interventions. Which has happened? Whatever, dude, keep lying to yourself. Thankfully, I can go back in time to August of twenty twenty one, and this from the Morning Show with Scott. The following is an announcement from doctor Anthony Fauci and is therefore unbelievable. Hello, it's been several days since I
last talked with you. Actually it's been months, or has it. I don't know who's counting time flies. When you're the highest paid public official on the tax pay is dying. I'd like to discuss all the misinformation about the
vaccine unless it isn't misinformation. Look, as I've said all along, it's important for you to have all of the correct data and research in order to make the decision we want you to make, which of course, is in our best interest and which may or may not be in your best interest. If this is confusing, that's good because I've spent my lifetime engaging in activities behind closed doors which are highly secretive, and none of it is gain a
function research. Strike that I never said gain a function? What is that a new detergent is something. The whole idea is to send out as many messages as possible to make sure that you are absolutely uncertain of our intentions, unless you're not, in which case we simply have to try harder. Now we're battling research suggesting one of the vaccines is more effective against the delta variant than others. I dismiss this study. It's my job to ensure the information
you consider is approved for your consideration. I mean, what is the Mayo Clinic and a Cambridge based research company know the answer. They may think they know something, but they don't know nothing unless they do. If that's the case, I will announce a breakthrough at a later time and claim credit. Look, I just need the unvaccinated to know, as my colleague has said, they're sitting ducks. Just because the largest group getting infected had been fully
vaccinated doesn't mean a thing. I mean, what is Israel no? Right? Remember, until the vaccine is ever everywhere, the virus isn't going anywhere. Get the JAB Delta is just the first variant standing behind it is Lambda, eta, iota kappa, and I've got a deal in consultation with the National Hurricane Center. I'll borrow the names of Bill Claudette, Danny Ida, Kate, Mark Mindy and with apologies to the kids Elsa, if I have to, I need to end. I've been assigned new duties in the Biden
administration. I'm now senior advisor to flatten the curve of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Thank you. The previous answer in the Santaine does not reflect the opinion or view of this station management, the Money Shore editorial board, or I figrate. Yet there you go, August twenty twenty one. We were battling. We were battling. We were battling then and still now. One simple scientific fact there has never been a vaccine to defeat stop the spread of a
coronavirus ever, not in the history of man. And I think that's why so many doctors wrote me. I think that's why I bear a grudge against the overall medical fraternity, because you people knew that I was speaking the truth, and people like me were speaking the truth. I have colleagues in our industry, and John knows this. They got fired for not taking the jab. In other companies, we did not face that here at iHeart, thankfully,
iHeart was very deliberate and slow, and only at the end. And John doesn't know this, but I talked about this on the show back a few weeks I sent a letter to our legal department. I sent a link to a story that the Supreme Court was going to be ruling just before we went with vaccine mandates, and I said, wait, I begged of them,
wait, it's going to change, and it did. I don't know if my note had any bearing on things, but look, I got ridiculed inside this company because I posted stuff on a Facebook page when we had Facebook, and I got the whole company in trouble. So yeah, I'm a little frosty on this issue, because over time we were proven right. We're gonna come back with more manly minute on deck on the Morning Show with President Scott Curious. We have a temporary opening likely to be filled within a matter
of days here on this radio program. John deals with this far more than I do. John sitting in on the other side here this morning, he is, in fact our boss of all of our stations. And I've said this about you without you hearing or knowing, but I've considered working for John just one of the great joys in what is oftentimes in our business, it can be a little testy sometimes because look, everybody who does the type of work, whether you're doing music or talk, you you have a strong personality.
You have to have that, and so it sometimes can be a little challenging to work with people like me and others. And I've just found John to be one of just the most delightful guy I've ever worked for. And I mean that sincerely. No, I appreciate and and I've said that repeatedly over the years. I've just been very fortunate when Paul Rodgers took over and then Darryl and you we kind of merged our areas. It's just been delightful.
It's just been absolutely delightful. But in the hiring process, do we ask someone for a driver's license with a background check? With a background check, we do, I think specifically to have them be able to drive a station vehicle. Well, but I mean, just for background check, they have to have a driver's license. I would imagine if it's not too clear for the vehicle that there's other ideas they can use. Yeah, yeah, but you have to show idea of some kind. Yeah, you gotta verify
who you are yeah, and I nine too. Isn't it interesting? You've got to you got to. You gotta show ID to purchase alcohol, apply for a job, cigarettes, open a bank account, food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, social Security, get a mortgage, got make copy, go to the doctor. Need a copy, or your driver's license, they scan it, unemployment, hunting license, fishing license, to rent a house or
an apartment, buy a house, we talked about that. Drive a car, rent a car, gotta have you gotta have UH to rent any of those things. To rent a hotel or a motel. If you want to buy an Emirated video game, or buy paint at the store, you get carted. Certain aerosols gotta be carded. Adopt a pet, obviously, purchase gun, get married, board an airplane, donate blood, go to a
pawn shop. Interesting that none of those things are considered racist to ask for ID, but to vote it's racist, just as we think about what's coming in November. I just wanted to point it out. It's not racist to make sure that the person getting the ballot for this person is who that person says they are. When you consider everything else, just say it. Time
for a manly minute remember mail by birth, man by choice. These are virtues, attributes, skills to say that the young man that you are raising will in fact be a man, because that's a choice. It's a choice to be a man. It's not a choice to be a male man. There's a choice to be a man. And so we periodically remind you of these skills. And this one is going the way of the Dodo. It's disappearing. Teach your son to drive a manual transmission. Teach him what the
tachometer is for the redline, I mean, all of it. Teach him if you can find if you've got a buddy that's got a three on a tree transmission, man, that would be incredible. But teach your son how to drive a manual transmission. Borrow a car. If you have to trust me, you'll one day look at him and say you are a man. Time for Hour three of the Morning Show. Hey, Sally, Marsha, Tim, let's get our tickets to the iHeart Radio Music Festival. What do
you say, shaboozy? Excuse me, it's one of the artists. Oh yes, I was about to say, God bless you Thomas Rhett and the Black Crows together. Uh, no, I thought, I thought I've heard of Thomas Rhett. You told me about the Black Crows? Are they have they joined forces? Thomas Rhet and the Black Crows? Now, I mean, is it they have? Not that I'm aware of. But the iHeart Rate of Music Festival is famous for collaborations between the artists that have been announced,
uh huh, and surprise guests. Yeah, I'm a surprise guest. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be performing style. You'd want to know that back in the day, I performed Yep, thrilled dozens and dozens of people doing my Christian music. Muh yeah, yep, that's true. All right, let's get to the third hour here of the radio program and a fascinating story. Elizabethton High School in Tennessee. Alex Campbell the teacher looking to engage and
inspire students through an unorthodox sociology assignment. So let's just take a time out here. Number one, sociology in high school? Did you have sociology offered in high school? I did not. Yeah, neither did I. I'm just saying maybe we shouldn't be doing sociology in high school, but making sure they know the reading, writing, and arithmetic. That's just me though.
Anyway, I redded him because teachers, you know a good teacher when they're looking at their curriculum and they're saying, yeah, let's see if we can do better. And he decided to do an experiment on profiling, which is classic sociology. How can you build a picture about someone based only on known actions taken by them, but no other details? So what fits into that?
Cold cases? His wife had been following something called the Redhead murders that had taken place years before in Tennessee, never solved, And so the teacher brought up the idea, what do you say, will we pull out the old stories, the old case files, whatever information we can get, and as a class, this is your assignment. See what you can do and see if you can profile who the person responsible for these killings would be.
The victims six to eleven of them all took place between nineteen eighty three and nineteen eighty five. So they looked at the character of the victims, the type of people they were, were there are any common denominators, ages, occupations, and so by creating kind of a profile of the victims and grouping them, they then tried to work out the demographic details of the likely murderer. Police believed they had a serial killer, that somebody connected all of these
dots together. These people that died were the classic types of cases that become cold cases. Women who are mostly prostitutes, exotic dancers, runaways. And so you've got these people that just disappeared, showed up dead, and now you've got family members who have gone for forty years. Think about that. What happened to our daughter, what happened to our sister, what happened to our niece, what happened zero closure that would be brutal. When we come
back, we'll tell you what happened in the case. Did it get solved? That's next eleven minutes after the hour, It's the Morning Show. Preston Scott High School class in Tennessee gets the assignment experiment on profiling by opening up a cold case thirty five years old at the time. They determined that the likely perpetrator the killer, white male, heterosexual with long hair on the wrong side of thirty, maybe even into his forties, perhaps a truck driver.
When they finished doing all of their work and research, they held a press conference. It was attended by sixty people from law enforcement, local media, community members, and afterwards suddenly police started getting flooded with tips. Then, as a result came a breakthrough. DNA evidence found on a woman from a separate case was revisited and it actually confirmed the killer's identity. The students had done it. The guy died in prison in twenty fifteen at the age of
sixty seven. He was imprisoned for the attempted murder of Linda Shacky. Another six potential victim similar profile to the five confirmed ones, are associated with the spree that actually stretched from nineteen seventy eight to nineteen ninety two. The killer likely started killing women older, you know, young ladies in the late seventies. Miss Shacky survived when the corner of her jacket got caught between her neck and a piece of cloth from her t shirt that the guy was using to
try to strangle her. It provided enough space for her blood flow to continue to her brain. She was left on the roadside, found by a truck driver, but she was alive. She told the victim that her car had been stolen would be murderer whoever was driving was the one who likely tried to kill her. Police found and arrested the same man, did not make connection
that he was involved in the other murders. The students and their teacher presented their evidence before a grand jury in Tennessee to see if it would have been enough to press charges against him if he were still alive. The jury ruled that in such a scenario, they had provided enough evidence. The teacher said, the whole goal was to get as many people to see the case as possible. Investigators do need the help of the public to solve this. Needless
to say, the relatives of the family members unbelievably appreciative. Of the relatives of the victims are unbelievably appreciative because their case is now solved. That's crazy. And you know what, it explains the popularity of true crime podcasts. True crime podcasts I hard, of course the largest podcaster out there, and you will find true crime podcasts galore. It fascinates people because there's this there's first, there's this idea of mis justice that people that commit these types of
crimes need to be caught and held accountable. I don't ever use the names of these types of killers, will not for reasons I will go into but are obvious, but it explains this type of thing fascinates people. By the way, the next project, they're going to be looking for wrongful convictions, and maybe, who knows, maybe they'll be working with the innocent projects, which is something we've talked about on the show. Sixteen minutes past the hour,
come Back, a columnist hangs up his keyboard and I'm celebrating. Good morning, my friends. We're back, we are We are just having fun today. Yeah, sorry, all right, just kind of John. John is living my dad's mantra that one day he spent a week in Cleveland. Yeah, they put the chili on the spaghetti. So the computer program froze up. Yeah, crashed you huh loved back in real quick. Goyh of course, yeah, froze up again. I tried to bail you out,
but I could not land something that isn't a special feature. I mean, I had all kinds of things to go to here, I had that would have been one I could have pulled out This morning show with Preston Scott, Good morning friends. Great to be with you. This is one of our This is one of my favorite bumps ever. I love it because I love the trombone it's trombone is such a cool instrument and it's totally underrated. Anyway,
John's in this morning running the program. And for those of you that might have missed the announcement last week, Grant's last show was on Friday. He's a new dad and obviously he's you know, fairly new husband. Three and a half years in fact, I think his anniversary is coming up this week, and so just simplelifying his life a little bit, because this is not easy, and when you have a young one, I get it, I get it. So at any rate, we do have our eye on
somebody that we believe will be our new producer on the program. And so in the meantime, Jared, who desperately needed a day away from me and this station in general, because Jared does a lot of stuff here. FSU baseball being successful was He's thrilled because he's an FSU fan, but from a personal standpoint, it was the worst possible thing that could happen to his life, his FSU baseball being successful this year. Speaking of the Noles hosting Yukon,
who saw that coming? Who saw Yukon beating the cheese out of Oklahoma at Norman yesterday in the final game, winning seven to one. So Yukon will be coming here. We don't know if it's a Friday, Saturday Sunday or a Saturday Sunday Monday regional. We will find out. But you can bet there will be rain delay because we always have rain in the afternoons, just normally it's a little later in the in the summer. But we're in the pattern. I mentioned a columnist. His name's Fred Grimm. He's retired.
He's quit. Not that it hasn't been fun chronicling Florida's descent into a water logged, python infested, uninsurable hurricane, pummeled book banning, gay bashing, authoritarian dystopia. But I'm out of here. Oh thank you, Fred. I've never heard of him. I won't miss him. I don't care. But here's what it reveals when you read the rest of his mindless blogging, which is, you know, in fairness, that's kind of what blogging is. It can just be all about whatever, and columnists are about writing
opinion. Now, it's sad that today in modern day newspapers, and I'll get to a story tomorrow about the Washington Post and that they've just had had an awakening there. People aren't reading the paper. Well, people aren't reading papers in general, and it's not because of technology. It's because the media is not trustworthy anymore. They have blurred the lines between articles, news articles and the op ed page, and they now include opinion in news articles,
and people just don't They don't trust it, you know. I look, I'm not a news guy. We when if you listen locally and you hear me doing the news, you hear the way news is supposed to sound. I could direct the newsroom anywhere in this country. I could direct the news for this company and make it right and it would be listened to by both sides of the aisle, which is a win. And that's what you would want with the newspaper, to be read by everybody because it was fact based.
Here's what it is. You decide what it means to you, and then the op ed page is where we'll put in opinion. I'm the opinion guy. I'm the op ed guy. I talk about the news. Guys like Fred I don't begrudge him. He's just symptomatic of the liberal left because they're miserable. There are always exceptions, just like there are crusty, old curmudgeons and mean, nasty, surly people on the right, by and large,
the rule on the left is they're this way. They're just mean, they're nasty, they're angry and and oh, by the way, his ramblings aren't fact based. But that said, Fred, I wish you well and I'm sorry you feel like you got to quit, because well, it used to be that people could could fight for their ideas, but we're in a cancel culture now where you're not allowed to do that. And so I don't read his stuff. I've never heard of him. He rights in South Florida,
and I guess by a few dozen people he'll be missed. But the fact of the matter is we've lost something far greater here in our country today, and newspapers can't figure it out. And newspapers did not ever embrace the idea that their job was to not be friends with politicians, but to hold
them accountable. And once the mainstream media decided to be friends with some politicians and make enemies of the others, instead of quite candidly treat them all as enemies, treat them all as I'm gonna be respectful and fair, but I'm not going to be your friend. That's what journalism was supposed to do. But they've lost sight of that, and they've lost sight of subscribers. And that's why newspapers are dying. That's why every newspaper is just dying except for
a few. And the few that aren't and are growing are like here locally Teleasti reports. They grow in numbers because they're fact based. There you go, twenty eight minutes after the hour, come back. We will have the Big Stories in the press Box, a McDonald's Rebuttal and More program, J D. Johnson Telling Training Group, f Lord of Man Factor Fiction and the sound of rushing waters. Now, seriously, you're not going to want to tune in. It does kind of like chill out and zen on me.
But you are going to want to hear it. Okay, Yeah. My immediate thought when you said rushing waters is oh, no, because I need to No. I had a big coffee this morning, so I don't want to hear rushing war. No, no, no, no, no, thank you. John. Appreciate that. Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grove Creative Marketing and Digital expertise Grove G R O v as in victory, and we thank them for their kind sponsorship. Reminder, there
is a recall of cucumbers. We can trust the FDA with this stuff. I have zero trust in the FDA on most anything else. They blew it when they changed the rules and they changed the definitions during COVID, when they changed the definition of vaccine, when they cleared the path for the vaccine by saying, oh, hydroxychloricuin ivermectin, whatever it may work in third world countries, that's for horses. It's a horse, the wormer. Whatever losers, it works, it's I gotta stop. I just I have to stop.
No, I don't. Ivermectin is the last medicine to win a Nobel Prize, Thank you very much. It is one of the most highly regarded medical breakthroughs in history. And oh, by the way, it's very inexpensive, which is why it worked in Africa and India and all of these places that are a little depressed economically. Anyway, See, if you read the FDA documents, I did you learn that they couldn't approve the vaccine if there were
any other treatments available. That's why they had to ridicule and not allow hydroxychloroquin ivermectin or anything else be usable as a treatment, because if they had, they wouldn't have been allowed to release the vaccine anyway. The FDA is telling you that there is a batch of cucumbers released by a company based in Florida, fresh Start produced sales recalled due to concerns of salmonilla. They were shipped
to fourteen states between May seventeenth and the twenty first. Yes, Florida, Georgia, Alabama are among those states, and the recall is pretty important. They are saying that it's likely this batch didn't make it to stores, but could have, could have. So the bottom line is, if you've bought a batch of cucumbers, just consider and maybe look it up on the FTA site. It is. It is a recall. A few other big stories
speaking of Fauci. Fauci testified yesterday and it's Anthony Fauci now is just it's it's like the old joke about you know, how do you tell the liars telling telling a lie? His mouth is moving, you know, it's if he's talking, he's not being honest. We are uncovering more and more information we we talked earlier about the fact that his scientists got just about seven hundred million dollars in royalties during COVID during just during COVID. I'm just speechless at
where we are with all of this. I'm I'm hesitant, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do this. I no, I'm not. I just i gotta stop. I've covered the dishonesty and I've got I'm gonna take some time to refresh us about how and why they did what they did, everything from the death numbers causing fear that caused people to go get the vaccine and some of you got the vaccine to keep your job. And I am so sorry that you got put in that position. I do not feel as though you you
did anything but do what you thought was in your best interests. That said, to the to the medical community that pushed it, shame on you. Forty minutes past the hour back with more big stories in the press box and uh and a McDonald's rebuttal. Next by news Radio one Hunt seven Double UFLA,
a couple other big stories worth having on your radar. Oregon is facing the release of perhaps thousands of suspected fairness and it's until proven guilty criminals simply because they don't have enough public defenders, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said that if they don't have one within seven days of their booking their charges, they're out. Here's the real gnawing part of this story. Oregon has known about this issue for decades and they haven't dealt with it, and it
finally bit them in the button. What do we know Oregon for, Well, it's the left coast. This is how California, Washington, and Oregon are all in lockstep and how they do things or don't. And all you need to do is look at the migration out of these places this set. I mean, what's happening in Oregon. You've got what fourteen counties that now are are have voted to leave the state and be part of Idaho. They're over it, They're done that mismanagement and this type of thing is it's almost
as if it's intentional. And just remember when you look at any issue and things are going wrong, it's like all of a sudden, Joe Biden thinks, well, there's actions we can take at the border. Where the bleep have you been for three and a half years? Brother? You have allowed this to happen intentionally? Why, because they're being registered to vote, there are classes being offered, there are brochures being handed out on how to help
these people vote. They're not supposed to vote, but if you get enough of them through the cracks. But whether it's that, whether it's we made this economic decision, it's not working out. We're bleeding our strategic reserves of oil. Maybe we ought to open up the Keystone pipeline. Again, they're not doing any of those things. They're not reversing course on any of these actions. And so if and let's go back to Oregon, if it's not
intentional, what is it. Because when you get something wrong in our households, when something goes wrong, I try to fix this and it doesn't work. You know what, I do something else. I fix it a different way, or I call in people that know how to fix it now to fix it. I have them fix it. But you don't keep doing it unless you're intentionally doing it. Why would you intentionally not fix something. Well, to cash in an insurance check, I guess, But that's illegal.
So all of these things I circle back to certain premises. And one of the premises that I look at is. If it's not intentional, what is it? What is it? And I can sit here for days citing all of the things that are going south in our country right now that are just wrong and fixable. They're fixable. Why are we bailing out students that took loans? Were they made to take a loan? Were they forced to take
a loan? Did somebody put a gun to their head and say, you will take a loan, but you and I are going to pay for it. And trust me, it's not being forgiven. It has to be paid for now. If the universities want to take their endowments and write it off, that's up to them. But this ends up on the taxpayers. We paid for it. We paid for it on the front end because they're all
government loans. Speaking of loans, be careful with your credit card, Be careful in the money that when a credit cards alone, you're borrowing money short term to buy stuff. Be careful. Interest rates are now nearly twenty nine percent on some cards. And we've talked about the finances. We've talked about the evidence that with debt going higher and higher and higher, rates now higher higher or hire people are having to buy necessities with their credit cards because of
how bad the economy is. You're just being told you're stupid by the Biden administration. You just don't understand how good the economy is. You just don't get it. It's amazing, it's incredible. Oh really, is that why I just spend two hundred dollars for five bags of groceries? Okay? Thanks? Forty six minutes after the hour, I'm getting to the McDonald's rebuttal next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Glenn's up next, and of course the
boys will follow Clay and buck Buck and Clay. I wonder how they decided. Did they arm wrestle, did they did they cast lots? You know? I I think Clay and Bucket is a little more pleasing to the ear. Maybe it was just a yeah, I just I'm always curious by that, that kind of thing when there are tandems, like you would always have the person who's been out there longer first, like if they take a morning
show and they bring somebody else in to be part of the team. But people have learned why I've never turned this into the Morning Show with and never because I'm on number thirteen Yeah. So that's you know, because I I had a former producer say I should be a co host. I said, uh no, sir, you should not, and that's not gonna happen. And that's and we're living the reason why anyway, McDonald's. The president McDonald's, Tom Erlinger is pushing not Tom Joe. Joe. Erlinger is pushing back
on the notion that that prices have exploded at McDonald's. He said there's been a twenty one percent price hike since twenty nineteen till now, not one hundred percent. He said that many of their franchises are now offering meal bundles for four dollars or less. Now I don't frequent McDonald's that much anymore.
