Okay, good morning everybody. How are you? We're just shitting around, two guys kicking it around on a two day morning. Hey, welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Morning Show with Preston, Scott and Preston. He's John John Line back in Yeoman's work. He got stuck with the short straw. See this, This is the downside to being the boss. Every now and then it just falls through the cracks and you gotta fill it in. You gotta gotta plug your fingers in all the different holes in the dike.
And right now we are a big hole here on the Morning Show for a little while longer, just just a little while, very excited about uh what we think will be who we think will be our new part Sir? Is it official yet? Goodness? No, Okay, I just I have said nothing, paperwork, nothing said nothing. But I've just been I know nothing, Yes, exactly, Sergeant Schultz. A little channeling there. Anyway, We welcome you to the program. We'll tell you about the show in just
a little bit. Go into the American Patriots Almanac and more. Our verse today is Psalm forty six y ten. I love this verse because it punches us right where we most every single one of us where we are. Listen to these words. They're very, very simple. Listen, be still and know that I'm God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. That's it. Be still and know that he is God. Now, let me just kind of help you with this a
little bit, give you something to chew on, to ruminate on. Ruminators. We are increasingly living lives where being still is just unheard of. John and I were talking before the show about the fact that you know, I personally have a little tonightis. I've had three or four bouts of vertigo over the last twenty years, and the last one left me with vertigo, not vertigo with tonightis. It varies in volume, but it's always there. It's just it's there. And so I like having some kind of noise on around
me. I've always been a noise junkie, and by that meaning I'll watch two or three things. I'll put something up in front of me, something up behind me. I've always got news or sports or something stirring. And now it's where it helps me fall asleep, because otherwise you just in silence, you hear the tonightis. And depending on your level of tonight is, it's you can drown it out with just a little bit of noise. Sometimes you need a little bit more and you function just fine. It doesn't affect
my life in any way, shape or form. It has affected kind of how I do certain things, but it's just it is what it is, you know, It's just is. And so I think we all have without having literal tonightis. We have a condition where we just don't want to be still. We just don't for some people, For example, for my wife, being still is almost as in because she was raised on a farm and being still is slothfulness and that's just not acceptable in how she was raised.
And so there are some of you that feel like being still is laziness. There are things to do, but listen to the admonition be still and know that I'm God. What that means is stillness is a foundational place where God chooses to reveal himself to all of mankind. In stillness. Roman says that God has revealed himself in all of creation, so that man is without excuse. One of the reasons why I love just staring at the ocean or being by a lake or being on a golf course is the beauty of it all.
And to just be in the quiet. That's why I can't stand music on a golf course because it ruins one of the aspects of golf that makes it special. Quiet, peaceful, Okay, the occasional thought anyway, that's another story for another day. So that's how we start. Take time, scratch that, make time to be still every day. It doesn't have to be for long. Be still, Take a deep breath and know that He is God. Ten minutes past the hour, American Patriots Almanac is standing by,
ready to go into June eleventh. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, is there a reason why Joe Biden's handlers didn't tell him that June teenth is next week? It did a June deep ceremony yesterday. What you can't do it on the day and it's yeah, and it's mid week, so it's not like it's on the weekend, so we have to do it on Friday. Yeah, I mean, oh, well, it just fits the narrative. Come on, it's low hanging fruit, but it fits.
Bless his heart, little human rumba wandering around, banging into walls, turning back around. He is, it's funny. It's funny, he is. He walks like a rumba is a circle, circle, circle, back back back anyway. Recharge Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you. Let's see here, Let's do a deep dive. This is good. June seventeen fifty two, Benjamin Franklin sent a kite soaring into a thunderstorm, brought his knuckle near a key he had tied to the string, and watched a bark leap
out. He then proceeded to touch a key to a Leyden jar and charge it, thus proving the theory of the sameness of electrical matter with that of lightning. Man. What a guy, Benjamin Franklin, What an eclectic, eccentric renaissance man. You read into that man's story? Crazy? All right? This specific date, though, June eleventh, seventeen seventy six, Continent of Congress appoints a committee to draft the Declaration of Independence. So let's hold
on now. I love chronology and history. It's June eleventh and they and they decide we need a committee to draft the declaration. It's June eleventh, and they had that ready on July second. I believe because that was long believed to be that was going to be Independence Day at least. John Adams was among the founders that believed the July second would be the day memorialized in
history. But it turned out to be July the fourth. But it was clearly ready on the second, So I just think of that document was input from others, certainly, but was drafted largely by Jefferson and prepared in three weeks, two and a half weeks. What a remarkable thing, the birth of this nation just remarkable. I still recommend to all of you the book seventeen seventy six by David McCullough. That's my worst whiff as host of this
show. I came within a hair's breadth of getting David McCullough on the program. His daughter responded to my request and was very kind and said Dad's working on another book and it would I think be his final book before he passed away. But the book seventeen seventy six that chronicles the birth of this nation is absolutely brilliant reading. It is a book of history. It is not a novel, and highly recommended. Eighteen fifty nine, The Comstock silver Load
is discovered in Nevada. Eighteen ninety five, Charles der Yea receives the first US patent for the gasoline powered automobile. Nineteen nineteen, Sir Barton wins the Belmont after earlier winning the Kentucky Derby in the Preakness, was the first triple Crown rent winner in nineteen nineteen. And in nineteen sixty three, Governor George Wallace of Alabama, Democrat, stood in front of the auditorium door at the
University of Alabama to block black students from entering. What a dubious distinction to be that guy. He later repented. Good for him sixteen almost seventeen minutes, now past the hour, come back and the mother of all stories from Golden Corral, No literally, mother, the worst thing that's ever happened to you at a buffet restaurant. See, we don't go to them very often. Well, we don't go to them at all. The only time we
go to a buffet restaurant is if my wife is out of town. Then I might go with some of the kids because my sweet wife has been scarred watching things happen at the fey line, like people licking the spoon and putting it back in and yeah, just omg stuff adults too, right, yes, yeah, yeah, you know, servers spilling and then scooping it up and putting it into the dish. Anyway, it's like, no, you just wipe that up and you take it to the trash. You spilled it
onto a a very non sanitary surface, I mean. Anyway, But buffet restaurants, I mean, if you get to a good one, they're incredible. They are. They're just they're not something that's necessarily healthy for us. They're great if you, like, you just haven't eaten in for and you're just like wanting one meal to go and just just shove yourself with everything that there possibly can be. You're not in the mood for that. You're in
the mood for that all of it. Right, This is a story that just I mean, Golden Corral's owning it, so I want to share it because they're owning what happened here at their restaurant. But in fairness, it has nothing to do with it. Butffe it just happened to Golden Corral. Uh. Tavia wood Fork was there having dinner with her mom and she started having really severe stomach pain ended up going to the restroom did not return, and so Mom's like, uh oh, and Tavia ended up having what Cleveland
Clinic describes cryptic pregnancy. She was thirty seven weeks and having a baby right then. She did not gain weight, She had not experienced any changes in her anything that she Now, there's some things that change, you know what I'm saying, ladies, But she didn't pick up on it. Whatever, But she was unaware that she was pregnant, gave birth to a healthy baby
boy, six pounds one ounce. The restaurant started buzzing because people are walking in the restroom going, oh, I'll go I'll hold it, you know, And so word leaks out everyone in the restaurant, the servers, the staff, the management, the customers, everyone knows. And so she's, you know, she ends up walking out with her baby. Nine one one's called there on their way and everyone's clapping, and I mean, it's a
thing. And so Golden Corral Tip of the Cap. They gifted the family a box of baby essentials Golden Corral gift card, quoting as surprised as our team was at the news of a baby being born at our restaurant, We're honored to play such a momentous role in little Tamar's life. Tamor Kylon Corral, wood Fork. Now let's just pause for a moment and let's rejoice in the irony of a family named wood Fork being at the Golden Corral to begin
with. I mean, there's just something very I don't know, harmonious about that wood Fork at Golden Corral. I can see a deal coming. I can see a spokesmanship coming, folks personship anyway. But yeah, I mean a lot of people were recommending the name Golden, you know, like Golden Tate, who is a football player with Detroit played for I think Notre Dame Tamor Kylon Corral, Woodfork, Golden Corral. Buffets, I mean, it's it. Buffets have their own place in Americana for just kind of be in
that place, much like Walmart does in the world of shopping. You just see things at a Walmart you just don't see anywhere else. You just don't And you see things at a buffet, oftentimes things you don't want to see that you wish you hadn't seen. But anyway, congratulations to the family, well done Golden Corral. Way to step up and do the right thing and So there you go, twenty eight past the hour. Let's get caught up with some news. Big story in the press, Big stories in the press
box coming up next. Finalizing a script here sorry, working on our project that we started about a month ago, a month and a half ago, maybe, where we're going to set in motion thanking people for going above and beyond in the world of customer service. And so just as a reminder, I'll be posting something on my blog page with the address where you can send me a self address stamped envelope potentially loved those words. Oh what now? Yeah? Yeah, right, wait, I have to I have to write
something. Yeah, and then I'm going to send you twenty cards. It does it's I'm paying for them, you're not, and you distribute them when you come across someone that offers great customer service, and it's the card is specially made. It'll have a QR code with a special message for that person, and I think it'll make a difference. I've shared the sort of start versions of this with several people that are that I trust, their their opinion,
and I've gotten really good feedback on this. So if you're interested, I'll be looking for the post on the blog page and learn more big stories in the press box, brought to you by Grove Creative marketing and digital expertise. Governor Ronda Santis bumping the budget for education by two hundred million dollars, specifically for the purposes of bumping pay now. I am trying to get more specifics on this. If you if you just if you haven't been aware of
what's gone on. Since Governor DeSantis has taken office, starting pay has jumped dramatically in the state to where it's now forty eight thousand dollars to start for a new teacher. Now, the problem with that was that existing teachers who'd been working for seven, eight, ten years were just getting to that pay scale, and so I don't know if this additional bump is for veteran teachers
where the base scale is still starting at forty eight Now. It should be pointed out that unions have been making this very difficult because they've been keeping some teachers from receiving this extra money through protracted negotiations and so forth. But that's what you get with unions that said more money is being put towards teacher pay. And if you're an educator, this is a very good thing. It will attract and it will keep good quality people. It will attract good quality
people. And to those of you that don't think it's worth it, I'll just I can't put it any other way. You're just wrong now, I will say. At the same time, public education is in trouble, and a large part of that teachers' unions, administrators with their own agendas, not teaching basics, it's showing up and testing. But anyway, is the transgender issue changing for the better? Ironic choice of words, is transgender never mind?
The American College of Pediatrics has laid out a challenge to a gazillion groups, citing studies abroad what has been largely accepted as common sense to many of us. But apparently Europe is moving pretty fast doing away with his whole gender reassignment affirming therapy nonsense. And that's good. The hope is that the research is going to make it here. We'll spend a little more time on that.
And then CBS right now absolutely beside themselves with their own polling, their anchors, their hosts, their people are just they are dropping their jaws wide open at the results of this survey. Nearly two thirds of Americans would support a government program deporting people from this country that are here illegally, nearly two thirds of the country. Forty one minutes after the hour, caught up on the big stories in the press box, back with more Little Fyi Next,
John wants to lead into a country song. When he hears music like this, he just feels like he's got to drop something out there. When was the last time you did country music? I sit in on our sister station in Panama City, ninety two to five WPAP. Every once in a while, that's a big gorilla there now out Yeah, but I used to be afternoons on the country station. Uh huh till some point in twenty sixteen. I believe did you ever find yourself kind of leaning into that country kind of
lingo and lilt or did you stay rock solid with the the voice? So I was born and raised in Texas, and Okay, when I went off to college in New England, like you don't you don't sound like you're from Texas, and it would come out and it still doesn't. Sorry words, the word truck for me generally comes out, truck okay, okay, truck
nice. So it happens yeah, I get around mid midwesterners Minnesotan's. Oh my goodness, yeah, my gosh, you have a pop, got yourself a pop there, Head on over to himming my friends and you'll have a great time. Yeah. I have an alter ego leaf Lenderguard. It always brings a nice hot plate. Yeah, absolutely, all right. Do you know the name Shalitha Robertson. Shalitha and her daughter are part of a podcast
giving advice and it's called Mommy and Me. Shalitha is gonna spend a little time outside the podcast though, because she has been sentenced to seven years in prison. She was the former assistant City Attorney of Atlanta who decided during COVID that she was going to have herself some COVID paycheck protection relief money, and so she created four businesses with four hundred employees and built the federal government out of fifteen million dollars. Shalitha was so brazen in her crimes. It's not
like she took the money and put it in offshore accounts. No, no, no no. She bought herself a ten carrot diamond ring, a Rolls Royce motorcycle, and lots of other goodies under the paycheck Protection Program. The question becomes, I know of an adjoining county to ours where multiple checks were going to the exact same address. We're talking dozens, dozens, and it's like anybody can check on this. You imagine how much money your money got
sent to people that cheated, never had a bit. She listened to the businesses that the names are here. This is brilliant and what makes this there's a punchline to all of this and an epilogue. As recently as October, while she's being investigated, and she knew she was being investigated, someone asked a question of her on the podcast whether she would choose integrity over poverty if she was given an opportunity to make money quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if
that was an investigator asking the question. She said, quoting, I choose integrity and whatever else it brings. I don't choose selling your soul to the devil, because that would mean I am willing to belittle myself and degrade myself for the level what of a dollar? No, my dear, fifteen million dollars is what you were willing to degrade yourself over. So the businesses hold
on, I've got the full report here. Atlanta Custom Motors one hundred and eighteen employees, the Renee Group ninety three employees, m O. Griggs one hundred and thirty three employees, and Triton eighty three employees. All of these were filled out within a month of each other. The request for money and she got the money. She just made up documents. She's the assistant City Attorney for Atlanta at the time. Eh and and she's she's gonna do seven
years. Her daughter though, sorry, I gotta get to this. I had this mark her daughter. I mean, you talk about setting a great example for your kid. Her daughter can't wait to see what becomes of this woman. She does the podcast with her and she's she's not shy about showing herself what I'm saying. I wouldn't be who I am today without the amazing mother example. Hustler, you are thanks for every sacrifice you made in every dream you pushed me to achieve. That's from daughter to mom. In it
great when a daughter can recognize the hustler. I mean, are those words that you you ever hear spoken about a mom hustler? You want to say someone has hustle sure, or does hustle Yeah, forty eight minutes after the hour back with what's going on in schools higher and lower education. Do you ever have a situation with your kid where they got themselves in some trouble. Maybe it's around the house, not doing chores or just making a mess of
something. You clean up the mess, you leave, you go about your business. You know you're you've you've made your point. You think that the sorrow, the remorse is there and okay, just all right, and you move on to back to what you were doing. And then you come back an hour later and it's like, what have you done? What now? And maybe it's the sharpie on the wall or you know, I mean, it's it's like it never stops. There's just one thing after another. There's
this stage that they go through. Now not all kids, but a lot of kids. It's like I remember one of mine. I had a brand new car and a leather interior, and he was strapped in his little car seat and somehow he got ahold of an ink pen and we got to our destination and I got him out of his seat, and oh my gosh, and there's nothing you can do. You can't do anything to get ink a ballpoint pen, ink out of a leather, light beige leather. You can't
diet and get it to go away. It's there because it leaves that etching of the and he was proud of what he drawn. That's how I feel right now with our colleges and universities. You can't leave them alone. You can't turn your back, you can't turn your head. You can't trust them. You can't. You can't. The School of Journalism at Northwestern has a
campus in cutter or Qatar, take your pick. And it appears that roughly three quarters of the people that speak to the class in Qatar at the Northwestern School of Journalism, the what's it called, the it's got a specific name, the School of Journalism, the Medill the Medill's School of Journalism. They all hate Israel. Congress is looking into it. I'm telling you can't trust them. Don't turn your back, ass. It's the second hour of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty one seventy seven. But who's counting ruminators? Wherever you may be, men, women, males, females. That's what we've got, males and females, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, Thanks so much for joining us, and we appreciate you listening, whether it's on terrestrial radio or iHeartRadio. Yeah, we know the weather radio signals are a little funky weather being the way it is right now, it's just
it's oppressing. It's oppressing us. Bunch of liberal weather patterns out there. Anyway, Always remember iHeartRadio is your safe backup. You can stream the program, whether it's on our Panama City outlets WFLA Panama City or WFLA Tallahassee. You just stream the station and there we are. We're there safely for you. And for some of you with those new fangled vehicles, you can stream it right into your audio system in your car, truck or suv. So
there you go. All right. I said I was going to do this eventually. Conditions have forced me to do this now. This is like really important. I'm sharing this because we have a lot of people that have moved here from other parts of the country. Welcome. You're welcome here in Florida. We hope that if you left a liberal bastion, that you understand why you left and vote differently. Florida has it going on pretty well. We've
proven what happens with a part time legislature. Great things, balance budget amendment and no personal income tax, consumption tax. How about that it works. All those things work together. They work really well. But I recognize that a lot of people don't understand the code for the beaches, and even people that know better don't get it. I was really disheartened to hear of a family of late that we knew that had their kids in red flag water.
So I'm going to go over the flags and what they mean. Understanding that there are going to be beaches that you encounter along the Gulf Coast that may not have a flagpole nearby. And you got to know what the water is telling you. And you do that by making a phone call checking Three swimmers attacked in Walton County. A woman had to have part of her arm amputated. Two hours later, four miles further east, two teenage girls were attacked
in waist deep water. They were serious. They weren't just little attacks. These were serious attacks. Now for the well, why does that happen? And oh, by the way, this was happening in the middle of the day. This was not a you know, a sunrise or sunset or at night, you know, the dust kind of thing. Uh uh no, no, no, no, no, no. Now, these attacks are happening because the fish that sharks eat are schooling in shallower waters right now.
They get trapped in low tide. Sometimes the sharks get trapped in low tide. Sometimes the sharks just kind of bully their way through the low tide and there you go. You've got the perfect storm. But there were warnings up the purple flags were out. They see these these sharks out there. They have a pretty good feel of whether there is a danger to people from marine life. And yeah, I was talking to salnwzoh he was out there. He said, you know, I thought the purple flags might have been a
jellyfish thing, and that can happen. There are times of the year there are bodies of water where you will see jellyfish by the hundreds of thousands in bodies of water, just floating and they hurt. You get stung by jellyfish. You'll remember to not go in the water when it's a purple flag. The problem with a shark attack is you might not get that chance to remember. This is not kids stuff. The odds are not in favor of a
shark attack. Absolutely not, but common sense people. When we come back, we're going to go through all of the flags and I'm going to talk about rip currents and I'm telling you what we're gonna share with you in a short few minutes could save your life, the life of your child, the life of a friend visiting from another part of the country. They've never been in the waters of the golf so we're going to try to help you out. Next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, we're
talking about beaches Florida. I'm mostly concerned with the Gulf Coast, but these flags work on all coasts. This is uniform. This is how it works. A reminder to those of you that are Floridians, don't don't make that move from Floridian to Floridian. Don't do it. You know, if you and your bros feel like going out there, man, that's on you. But when it comes to kids visitors that don't know anyway, purple flag means
dangerous marine life. It can mean jellyfish, it can mean sharks. Yes, we have great white sharks, bull sharks, black tips, hammerheads. There are sharks that will mistake people for a food source, and sometimes we'll enjoy people as a food source. Just happen we're in their turf. If you see a green flag, it is low hazard, call them conditions. Just be aware. It can change. You can be out in the water green flag, but the weather is stirring things and it can change rapidly.
We'll get to what to do if you suddenly find yourself in a in a rip current. Yellow is medium hazard. This is this is like your this is stop like technology here. Green, you're okay. Yellow, be aware, be aware. Red, high hazard. There's not a chance my kids are in red flagged waters. There's there's not a chance unless my kids are in their twenties, thirties and forties, and then they're idiots. Now it's just not safe, it's not smart. There's lots of days to go to
the beach and get in the water. Double red flags is waters closed, beach is closed to water. People going in the water, and lifeguards are like please because we don't want to go out there. Now a lot of them will. There's growing technology where they'll send a drone in certain parts of the world. I don't know if we've got it in Florida. They'll send drones out there and drop a LifeRing to you and one of those things that
hits the water and immediately inflates. And I mean, that's awesome that we're developing that kind of technology where we can provide that kind of help. But those flags matter, so know what they mean, Understand that they mean what they're flying. And if you don't see a flag, make a phone call, call the local sheriff's office. Hey, do you have the surf condition?
Here's where I'm at now, rip current, here's the intuition. The intuition is a rip in a rip current is to just swim against it because it's pulling you and we want to intuitively go against it. Wrong bad move, wrong thing to do. Those currents work clockwise or counterclockwise in such a manner that you swim to the side of it, You swim parallel to the
beach out of it. And if you if if even that's difficult, if you can just manage to float a little bit, you'll eventually it'll it'll get to water that's maybe a little deeper, the current's not so strong, and you just can then swim sideways and then back in. But swim parallel to the beach, away from the current that's pulling you out, Swim sideways, and then you can swim in. That's how you that's how you avoid drowning. This stuff because rip currents, people panic and I'm you know what.
This is a page out of our personal defense stuff that we do twice a month with Charlie and JD. Think about it ahead of time. Teach your children, know yourself so that when it happens, you don't trust your intuition. You think I'm going sideways, going sideways, going sideways, It'll save your life. Sixteen minutes now, seventeen minutes after the hour here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott pulling showing the abortion Amendment is going to pass.
Have to fight that. What a train wreck in my lifetime. The worst decision made by the Florida State Supreme Court and ironically the four men. The long standing argument has always been men don't know. Men have no say on my body. That's what the feminists have been saying for years. Men judges, all these men, lawmakers, men, it's the three women that said no, This amendment is not clear, It is not single subject. It
is filled with ambiguity. One of the male justices agreed it's full of ambiguity, but went ahead and said, yeah, let's put it on the ballot. It'll be litigated for years. They said, what are you doing? Even if you are a person that thinks abortions should be legal up to fifteen weeks or twenty weeks or whatever, this fictitious viability issue is because again, viability is not had in truth until a child is able to talk, walk on their own. A one year old cannot live by themselves, They're not
viable. There's a case a woman sentenced to jail prison for years because she went on vacation leaving her I think eighteen month old alone at home. The child died eighteen months old. Not viable. That is one of the biggest canard arguments that have been out there for years. That's horsecrap. This amendment is a free for all. It would allow abortion, and you can say, oh, that would never happen. Really, there are people that believe
that abortion should be allowed after birth outside the womb. This amendment allows that because it says no limits. It says the health of the mother defined as what well, I just don't feel I'm ready to have a child, so that's the health of the mother. It's not defined. The ambiguity in and of itself of the amendment forces its defeat. But sadly a bunch of you
Republican women are in favor of this. Again, no matter what you think about where abortion should be allowed in six weeks as ridiculous should be fifteen. This is open season. The entirety of the State Supreme Court agrees on that it's gonna be litigated endlessly. Well, what does that tell you about the amendment. It's poorly worded. It's worded intentionally for the ambiguity, because they want this to be open season for abortion. People. Please don't do this.
You know I told you about the minimum wage thing, and even though I was mathematically and factually correct on that whatever, this is life and death. Literally, please please stop. This disc cannot get passed. State Supreme
Court just botched this. The four men unbelievably first most flawed legal ruling I've ever put my eyes on, and I read a little bit anyway, That's not what I was going to talk about here, but I saw a story came out from Political Florida that hit my email box on the money that's being raised to push this amendment across the finish line, and the money being raised to try to stop it. And it's apples and oranges, I mean huge
money pouring in promoting this ridiculousness. Anyway, twenty seven minutes past the hour, we'll get to the big stories and some more fyis next. Quick little heads up tomorrow. Dan Hampton the book Vanishing Act. He's a New York Times bestseller and it's about the mystery surrounding the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo and World War Two. You might remember that in response to Pearl Harbor, we sent some bombers off aircraft carriers, never been done before, and the idea wasn't
to inflict major damage. It was to send a message, and they send a message. But there are mysteries surrounding some of the planes in that raid, and Dan Hampton has captured that in a book. We'll talk with him tomorrow and then we did it Thursday. Thursday is the debut of the new season of the History Channel show Alone. I've talked about Alone. I am a geek on this show. I will talk more about this show. I think it's the best show on television. It's a survival show with actual people
that know what they're doing, and they film themselves. There is no crew, No one bails them out unless they tap out, and the last one out gets five hundred thousand dollars. One season, the guy who went one hundred days, he won a million because it was a one hundred day challenge, one hundred days by himself. Anyway, Live on the program Thursday Morning.
Last season's winner, Alan Tanetta. He's a teacher who teaches high school kids about outdoor survival in Canada, and he's going to join us live. I'm so psyched. I watched that season. I watched every season. I've never missed the season. Anyway, It's going to be a lot of fun Thursday on the program. So already lining up more great guests here on the show. Big Story in the press Box brought to you by Grow, a creative marketing and digital expertise. There's several of them. CBS News, the
anchors when they were announcing this, the blood left their face. CBS News poll. This is their own polling. Nearly two thirds of voters support President Trump's proposal for mass deportations of illegal aliens. Nearly two thirds of the country. It's not helping Joe that he does this little ridiculous order and then proceeds two days later to violate it. That was one of the big stories yesterday. I think it was we will, we will, we will send back
people from these six nations. The other ninety four that are coming in, they're fine. It's like Russia, Kyrgis, stay in, Kursias stay in or whatever. I mean, it's just these ridiculous Eastern Bloc countries that we have virtually no one trying to enter our borders from. But the people that are really causing issues for us, you know, Chinese nationals, chicams that are ending up spying on military base is in the like cartel members, members
of gangs that am Miss thirteen. They're fine, no problem, what a joke. There seems to be a shift in the transgender issue. My commentary right now is about a the winner of the Miss Maryland contest being a dude. Did you ever think you'd live to see this day? I did find it surprising. Men competing against women in beauty patcheants and winning running races, competing in sports winning and we're just okay with that. See, that's the
thing. We're not overwhelming majority of Americans know this is just silliness. Stop it. But they're not. The NCAA is not pro sports, they're not governing bodies, they're not wh question mark exclamation board, question mark exclamation point what anyway, The science is starting to catch up. We talked about a study that showed the differences between men's and women's brains how they cognitively function, and that it explains to a great extent why the suicide rate is so high
for transgenders. It has nothing to do with they're not accepted in society. It has to do with they've trapped themselves by making changes to their body. They can't change their DNA and what these studies are showing, you can't change your brains wiring. Men and women are wired differently up here in their melon. And so the science is catching up. Europe is finally starting to say, yeah, no, maybe this isn't so good, and they're starting to
outlaw some of this stuff. That's good news. And then Florida's governor spending more money on teacher pay in the upcoming budget, two hundred million more dedicated teacher pay. We don't have a breakdown of how that's going to work, but we know the money is going to be in the budget. So again, good news for our teachers forty one minutes after the hour, and yes, they deserve it. Different tastes, People with different tastes value prioritize things
differently. People that listen to music radio, they're not necessarily news junkies. Most of them are not, although some some just need a break from the news. You know, we talk about just kind of weird, offbeat stories just to break the monotony of the noise. I imagine being me. I gotta read this stuff every single day. I'm taking an intel, I'm getting emails from the research team. My goodness, gracious, it's it's craziness out
there. But I would suspect that if I were to take some kind of pull magically of people listening to music radio and I were to say, are you aware of the retail theft problem in California? I would say most people would say, yeah, heard about it? Do you disagree? Do you think most would not know? Because you're you're a music guy, You're mister music. I've heard about it, not necessarily California specifically, really Yeah,
passing stuff in the news where years a pharmacies and stuff are moving. Yeah. A few years ago, California changed the law and they decriminalized theft and turned it into misdemeanors up to I think it was nine hundred and fifty dollars. So gangs want to be gangs organize theft exploded. They've gone to an organized crime rings that have They're closing stores down all across the state. Businesses are shutting down. Walmart's are shutting down, Department stores are shutting down,
random shops are shutting down. Because what they'll do is they go in and they make note on their phones of the cost of this these jackets and that good and that thing, and then they assign people. You grab five of those because the value of those five of them is nine hundred and twenty dollars. And then you grab fifteen of those because the value of those is eight hundred dollars. And they organize it and they go in and they just steal
everything so that if any one person gets caught, it's a misdemeanor. And so it is caused massive business disruption. And now it's spread to another item, and that's the story here at SFGate. Thieves are targeting not just big
box retailers, but any retailer that sells Legos. And what they're doing is they are systematically targeting everything from a Walmart to a specialized hobby and craft store to a toy story, anybody selling Lego blocks, and specifically any collectible Legos for those of you that don't know, And that's why you listen to this show, because I am as hip a human being as there is. I have my finger on the pulse of our culture. And of course that's just
an absolute lie. I don't but I read about it, and what I've learned is that Legos are a thing for adults. They have these products that are collectibles, like the Star Wars stuff, the Mandalorian stuff, and you they're not for playing. These are for display. You build these things and they take a little time, and they are to be displayed proudly. I'm down with that. I'm all about that's awesome, that's great. But they
are being targeted now and the black market on Lego products is enormous. So once again we have said, well, you know, if they steal up to this amount, we're just We're not gonna and look what happens. It's you didn't have to be Karnak the Magnificent to realize this was going to end
badly. And now they don't know what to do because to make matters worse, you got you got district attorneys in cities like like the guy in Los Angeles, gascon and he's and he's he doesn't he doesn't try anybody for virtually anything. And so the black markets, thriving businesses are shuttering. People are losing their jobs all because of illiberalism because they don't know how to govern.
Forty seven minutes after the hour, get you ready for a manly minute, and Justin Haskins at the top of the hour, manly menut just minutes away. This is this is kind of funny in a sad sort of way. Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, you would think that moving on from Beetlejuice otherwise known as Lori Lightfoot, now look at a picture. It's Beetlejuice. Have your mic turned on, please, so when you see it, I'm googling her. John's googling. Actually I'm duck duck going her. Lori Lightfoot
spend about two thousand dollars. You're welcome on makeup her last year in office, makeup services, you know, for public appearances, video hits, whatever, how much again? Two thousand. Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson, who unbelievably Chicago moves from progressive to uber progressive. He spent thirty grand last year on makeup services. When asked about it, his spokesman said that he's a public figure and as such it's it's appropriate for him to look the part.
I got nothing. There's a ton of TikTok videos and a quick trip to the REVL encounter and perfect segue to a manly minute. Men don't wear makeup unless they're doing television, and even then I never wore makeup when I was anchoring on the desk. I never wore makeup ever, not once, just saying it can be done. Well, you know they do that to knock down the sheen. Whatever. Whatever anyway, manly minute, mail by birth man by choice. We talked last week. Teach your son how to drive
a manual transmission. Not just four speed, five speed, now six speed, seven speed, eight speed, not just a three on a tree. Once you've taught your son the importance of you know, properly engaging the clutch, not writing the clutch. Take your son somewhere safe and teach him how to use a manual transmission on a hill in traffic, but not right away with traffic. Teach him that art of not drifting too far back and hitting the car behind him. Just telling you it's a great skill to have.
And you can look at him one day and say, you, sir, are a man because he burns out and floors it and shoves it in the second back with our three. Justin Haskins on deck on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's get to it. Lots to talk about third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you this morning and great to have back with us on the program from the Heartland Institute. He is Justin Haskins. Good morning, my friend. Now, are you all
right? We will see if we can get that correct number dialed in and get Justin back on the phone line, just real quickly here before we go to Justin and he's got two articles out that are really really important, one about the housing data. I don't know if we'll get to that because we are we're really going to have to focus on the other article, and it's what's happening in the European Union that is directly impacting or going to directly impact
our country. The headline is Europe is hell bent on forcing US companies to go woke, and it has a new law to do just that. And so it's it's problematic because of the number of businesses that work in Europe, and so we are even though we're making progress. For example, Florida, we have detailed the improvements made on ESG inside the Sunshine State and and that's all fine and well, but we have so many businesses that are doing business
in Europe that it's it's it's a bit of a problem. Now, if you'll forgive me, I'm going to send a note and have Justin call us. The law is titled the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, and and it's a problem. If we can let's take a break, we're gonna get caught up with In the break, we'll do weather in traffic and extend our segments after that so we can just sort of start fresh and all over. Hopefully
we'll get Justin on the phone line. Here in just a second. But first we're gonna get caught up on weather in traffic here or now on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Justin Haskins with the Heartland Institute, and we're talking about the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Man, justin if ever there was wording in a law that is intentionally ambiguous, ambiguous rather, this is it, but that's intentional, right, Yeah, they made this thing
incredibly, incredibly complicated. If you want to look up the text of it, it's CSDD, very rolled right off the tongue, that acronym. And then even when you look it up, if you try to read it, it is very complicated. It's over one hundred pages long, which doesn't sound
that long by American standards. But then when you start piecing in all of the different references to other laws, there are dozens and dozens and dozens of times in the bill, will they'll say or in the law, will they'll say things like, you know, see this international covenant on X, Y and Z, and see this other international covenant, and then see this other regulation and this EU rule that we passed, and this guidance document and we
use the definitions in this other document, and so really it's referring to dozens of other laws that also apply to corporations. Is incredibly complicated, but they do it on purpose so that regular people couldn't figure it out unless somebody, some nerd you know, spent years trying to figure out what's in this law so that they can convey it to other people. And thankfully for you that nerds me go yeah, yeah. So so now we're uncovering this piece by
piece. It's a process. We're finding new things every single day buried in this thing. But the one thing that we know for certain already is that if it is allowed to continue on and American companies submit to this, it will completely transform our society. We will all be beholden to the overlords in the European Union, and Americans sovereignty will be completely dead. Whether you're on
the left of the right, that should scare you in essence. No matter what they call it or word it, it is the imposition of ESG scoring and monitoring, etc. That we've talked about a lot. That's what this really is, right. It imposes social credit scoring on companies, who then impose it on other companies, which then transforms society. And it's everything from land and water use and protecting and reversing biodiversity. That's one of the requirements.
I don't even know how you do that if you're a company reversing biodiversity, I guess planting trees or something like that. Climate change, numerous climate change initiatives, the end the use of fossil fuels, and the vast majority of the economy. All of that stuff is in at plus mandatory living wages, protecting labor unions, all sorts of vague statements about you know, social justice and intersectionality and all kinds of other things. The list goes on and
on and on. It is essentially, though, a license for Europe to decide how our economy works, not just our economy, but basically every economy that operates even slightly in the European Union. All right, let's do a lightning round here. You mentioned the elections in Europe, how the extremists lost a bunch of ground. However, does that mean that there's any chance of a new European Union Congress or whatever they call it, parliament reversing this.
No, there's no chance that they'll reverse it because although they did lose many seats the far left, the Green Party and others in the European Union, they the moderate types, the conservative leaning people, did not gain enough seats to actually take control of the body, so they could have stopped it. They had enough votes. Probably they would have enough votes to stop a future version of this, probably, but they don't have the votes to reverse it.
Are there any countries that are resistant to this that are members of the EU? There were factions within some of the larger countries, namely Germany, that were pretty resistant to this, But for the most part, the largest, most powerful countries, including many of the leaders in Germany that was a weird situation, there are supportive of this, so I don't see them reversing
it. The United Kingdom, I'll remind you, which would probably be one of the most skeptical of this thing, isn't in the European Union anymore, right, They don't actually have to say in any of this. Okay. Lastly, best as you can tell is this development on the radar of perhaps
Donald Trump and at least equally importantly members of Congress. So I know for a fact that there are certain very high level members of Congress, US senators, etc. That have that have seen this within the past week or two, because we've made sure that they've seen it, and I don't mean just blindly sending them an email or something like, we know that they've seen it. But to our knowledge, almost no one knows anything about this, so
there's very few people talking about it right now. There's almost no one on our side covering this. There is no think tanks other than the one that I work for, the Heartland Institute, that's done any work on this at all. But we have a policy paper that's in development specifically for lawmakers so that they know what's going on. That'll be done very very soon this week or next. We're going to send that out to every state lawmaker in the
country and hopefully a lot of the federal ones. And we're working on getting meeting with high level members of Congress to discuss this, so they're gonna find out about it soon. But do I do I think them or Donald Trump know about this now? No? I don't. God bless you for what you're doing, Justin and thank you so much for being our friend here on the program and keeping us at least as best as we can be informed. Thank you, Prestin, appreciate it. Justin Haskins with us this morning on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty eight minutes after the hour. Still got some money talk and the big stories. Next Big Stories in the press Box, brought to you by Grove Creative Marketing and digital expertise. How'd that go? Huh? Hearing about Justin and what he had to share, Our sovereignty gone. I'm sending it to members of Congress. I know I'm sending that interview. I'm going to beg them. Please listen, please listen to this.
This is a disaster, absolute disaster, all right. The big story is the governor's spending more money on teacher pay. We don't know the breakdown of it. We know that starting pay has jumped dramatically under Governor Rondo Santus for teachers. And if you are a teacher and you buy into the union nonsense and vote Democrat, you're an idiot. I can't help you. I cannot help you. You said, well, I'm not seeing that money.
That's because of your union. Throughout the state, the unions are holding up teachers getting pay, trying to leverage a new agreement and the money is just sitting there. More money now two hundred million dollars more than last year's budget, a record record one point two five billion to education. Sadly, the Teachers' union has repeatedly, year after year after year supported Democrats for governor, losing and squandering your money. Teachers, what you pay in union dues,
that's why you penfl dot org Professional Educators Network. They provide union services without the politics, less money coming out of your paycheck, same legal protections, and they don't politic they don't they don't get out and campaign. They represent you anyway, just saying seems like we are seeing a little sanity enter the discussion on transgender issues. I don't know what it's going to take to turn
it around. The American College of Pediatricians sending a statement to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Child and a Psychiatry, asking them in their statement to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation puberty blockers, cross sex hormones surgeries
for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, follow the science, let them grow out of it, give them some guidance, help them. Thankfully, the tide seems turning just a little. And then finally, nearly two thirds responding to a CBS News poll, believe that illegal aliens should be deported from the country Mass deportations in favor of it nearly two thirds. There you go. Forty minutes after the hour money Talk standing by
Howard Heisman on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Time for a little money talk with investment advisor Howard Heisman with enhanced financial Services, securities and advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member FENRA and SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA. The epinions expressed are not those of NBC Securities Inc. Or iHeartMedia, and on appropriate matters, we recommend you seek professional tax and or legal advice. Do you then? And
here he is, good morning, sir, how are you? I'm how are you, Preston? Well, you know, considering the news we just got from Justin Askin's about surrendering our sovereignty and I'm doing all right. Tell me a little bit about where we are with home prices, because sometimes those can be a good barometer of things, other times a harbinger, other times. Eh, yeah, well right on all counts. You know, for a number of our fellow citizens, our home is our biggest asset, and
it accounts for about twenty percent of America's annual GDP SO. Case Scheller is the firm that puts out all things housing and housing indexes and they track the twenty largest metropolitan areas or cities, And of interest was that half the city saw an increase in the amount that homes were selling for in their markets,
which men, of course at half weren't. Uh. And in the latest release, five of the cities that are really struggling Preston happened to be located out west San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Portland, in Denver, and all of those saw home price declines. And it's been a while since, you know, since we could reference that when you're looking at the markets. I've always been curious. I think a lot of people don't understand the distinction
between the S and P five hundred and the Dow. But there are differences, and they perform differently. Yeah, they really do. I mean they're they're both two of them. They're two of the major indexes in our markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has a much smaller number of company it's an older index, and the S and P five hundred Preston's a little bit more growth oriented, cutting edge, if you will. And of interest, so far, through the end of May, through that five month period, the
SMP outperformed the Dow by more than eight percent. And that's happened now two years in a row. And it's a little unusual because from nineteen thirty all the way through twenty and twenty two was that ninety two years, the S and P five hundred had never never outperformed the Dow by eight points or more in the first five months of the year. So, you know, I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the next seven months. You know, big topic in the show, and of course in news headlines
across the country's student loan debt. I'm curious, has anybody bothered to look at how long it takes someone to pay off their loan if they get kind of your typical degree from college. Yeah, besides the obvious answer, it can take a really long time, depending on how much debt you incurred. A company called Strata Education Preston found that a graduate needs to earn at least fifty thousand a year in their first ten years after getting a job after graduating.
And I'm factoring in that that degree is a four year college education at a public university just to pay off that student letter, so a decade, which you know, if you think about it, that kind of puts you behind the eight ball a little bit with other other things you might need some cash for, like if you've started a family, childcare, housing, unbelievable, Howard needs to get addressed. Yeah, and it's not going to get
any cheaper, unfortunately, especially with inflation as it is. Howard has always thanks for the intel. I appreciate your time absolutely, Thank you, sir. Howard Eisman with us this morning talking some numbers. We call it money talk here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. David Rush again making news for those of you who do not know. David is a serial record breaker of Guinness records and he He now holds one hundred and seventy five records.
Concurrently, his goal is one hundred and eighty one. He wants one hundred and eighty one different Guinness World titles held at one time. What's happening is some of his records are getting broken and he's having to rebreak them to keep the number up. The most recent and that we're we're following here is juggling catches on a balance board while blindfolded. Now to show you how this thing
has gone. He was the original holder of the record, his total of seventy seven juggling catches with a minimum of fifty to as the baseline, so he said it at seventy seven. Another juggler put it at one hundred and fifty nine, so he took the record with thirteen hundred and sixteen, thinking that'll settle it. Uh huh. The same rival took it back with seventeen hundred and seventeen juggling catches while on a balance board blindfolded. Well, he's
now claimed the record back. David Rush has with twenty three hundred and forty six catches, so he's got the record back. He's going after Silvio Saba, who has one hundred and eighty concurrent records. That's the highest number of records held at one time. Oh, that's where the one eighty one comes from. He's now going for he wants one hundred and eighty one so he
can break that. I kept saying, anyone who wanted to be a jerk could just pick any one of those one hundred and eighty records or now one hundred and seventy five and just break it to keep him distracted. If he hits one hundred and eighty one and that becomes the record, does that mean he's at one hundred and eighty two. I'm guessing that's the one eighty one. I'm guessing I see where you're trying to go there, but I think
that's the that's the deal. He's he's on YouTube. It's not as big of a channel as you might think it would be, but he's definitely pushing the publicity angle on this. Look I've fallen for it. I'm following. So there you go, and that's how we end the program. You by Barono, Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show on WFLA. Started out our show today with PSALM forty six, Verse ten. I gotta tell you it was pretty good. Pretty good devotional this morning. Good way to start
the day. Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grove of Creative Marketing and digital expertise. How do most Americans feel about mass deportations? Well, about two thirds agree with the idea. That is not good news for Joe. Are we seeing a shift in the transgender debate. I'm not even remotely close to saying yes, But there are others that think it's the tide is turning until I see women stop competing against men, and then you'll
see the massive reaction to that. When competitions can't be held, then we'll start getting somewhere. But there's too much cowardice right now, too much. Florida's governor commits record increases to teacher pay. It needs to keep going up if you want good people that you can hold accountable educating children. It is a difficult job. If you think, oh, it's an easy job, you've never been a teacher. Talked about the black market for legos that exist
now, No, I'm not kidding. Talked about Florida beaches, sharks and beach flags. Learn what they mean. Tomorrow, Dan Hampton the book Vanishing Act. Can't wait to share time with you until then, my friends, stay hydrated, stay out of the heat of the day, and thanks as always for listening. Glenn Beck is coming up next, And yeah, I kind of wrapped up a little early there. Yeah, I could throw you a bone, but I don't. Yeah, no, no, that's just
it just fits the show today. It's just been one of you know, Dad said one day, I spent a week in Cleveland. Today we had a week's worth of morning shows. 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 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 had
a former producer to 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 of 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. We usually will cruise through there if my wife is Jones and for a coke icy if their icy machine's working, because most every icy machine on the p planet doesn't work most of the time. That said, he's just
really it's a sore spot for him. Here's what I know. Prices are way up across the board, and I know that it'll be better if you get customer service. Right. Why does Chick fil A almost always have a line because they get customer service right, they get the orders right, and they treat their customers as if they actually see them. When you say thank you very much, you don't get no problem. You get my pleasure there.
And I still think it's a cottage industry for Chick fil A. If they want to get into it, teach others how to do customer service. You should not discount the fact that the hamburglar came back. And I'm sure P and L statements just the profit lost margin went way up with Hamburgler. Oh that's cold, that's cold. This is my cue. By the way, we're time for this guy. Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. Thank you, Victor. Yeah,
we have a staff of thousands. You just don't see them. You don't hear from most of them. But Victor, you hear all the time on the show. Look back at the program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less much less. As a matter of fact, first chronicles twenty nine to eleven was where we started the program. Today the big stories Fauci claims unvaccinated responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Yeah, whatever, Oregon has
a little bit of a problem. Defendants without a lawyer must be released from jail. According to the Ninth District Court of Appeals, store credit cards rates are up to nearly twenty nine percent. Scientists working for the National Institutes of Health. You know that Anthony Fauci Thing made seven hundred and ten million dollars in royalties from drug makers during the pandemic. Oh, by the way, a fact they tried to hide. Conservative parents calling to boycott Miss Rachel.
You just need to know Miss Rachel is all on board sexualizing your kids and trying to talk pride with them. And she specializes in preschoolers. That's so sick and twisted. And a serial slingshot shooter arrested at the age of eighty one, died just days later. Tomorrow we'll do it all over again. Thanks for listening. Having an awesome day.
