Good morning. Welcome ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and females. Thanks so much for waking up and making us part of your morning. Bright Adam Bushy tailed here we are the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston, He's Jared. And yes, we have we have. We have developed a tag team kind of approach to the program on the interim basis here as we as we hopefully are moving towards our permanent replacement for Grant,
hopefully not interim much longer. Yeah, yeah, I bet, I'm so sorry. I just every time I see you and John, I just and it's not like anything I can about it. I just I feel bad. It is what it is. But I appreciate you. Let me just say that on the front end, thank you for being you. We can't let down the listeners, man. I appreciate that today's program Thursday, and that means busy day. I am. I am so beyond geeked up for
today's program. You know we've got We've had presidential candidates on the show over the years. Senators, governors, governor's sitting right right here, right here in the studio, Members of Congress noted attorneys like Alan Dershowitz, who sat next to OJ Simpson in the trial, and I asked him, do you think he did it? Asked him. I asked him, uh huh.
But I have never been as geeked as I am for today because I've got Alan Tenta on the program, and you're like, who He's the season ten winner of a loan History Channel best show on television, and I have been trying for probably ten years to get somebody from that show on my program. All of the Roulette Wheel, the slot machine, whatever you want to call it, the blackjacked, it all turned up for me for some reason.
Two weeks ago, I sent this ridiculous email. I just went to the History Channel website and I started digging, and I eventually got to A and E's website, and then I got to the corporate website, and then I got to the media relations website, and I copied and pasted in an email every name on the list, every name, like eight people, the vice president, the president, the assistant vice president to the president. I mean, it's just crazy. And I get a note that day I'm your person.
Sometimes you got to cast a wide nit whooh son, and so we've got the winner of the last season. The new season starts tonight, and we've got the season ten winner on today. I'm excited. What I just I am? I'm not going to have enough time. My problem is going to be that, not because I'm starstruck. I mean I had a feeling Alan would do well last year. You kind of get a feel early on
who you think is best equipped. And I've been surprised a few times, but normally my wife and I have it pretty well narrowed down to the two or three that we think are going to make it the longest, and we're usually pretty spot on. And I had high hopes for Allan. But I hope that when the time comes, I'm not just stupidly brain cramped and I don't ask questions that are meaningful to you because I know this show so well. It's like the violation of my rule on authors, where I don't read
the books because I don't want to know things that you don't know. I know everything about this show, I mean everything. I have faith in you, pressed and you're a professional. I don't know. I don't know all right, Mark six thirty one through thirty two said this, and he said to them, Jesus, come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest for a while. For many where coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate
place by themselves. Here's why that's significant. If you go back and listen to the devotionals this week at the start of the show. And I didn't pick this, this is These are just the scriptures that are popping up in a couple of different devotional guides that I have on my phone. There's a theme building. I didn't organize it. I didn't plan it. Here's the theme get away. And you can do it in your backyard. You can do it in your home. You can do it at a break at office.
Spend some time and be quiet before God. That's it. Be still and know that He's God. This verse, Jesus is speaking to the disciples and saying get away. And as I looked at that scripture today, I was like, Wow, God's saying something this week to us. He's always saying something to us. But you know what I mean. I mean, there's something here. So I'm just I'm challenging you ten minutes past the hour. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go. You can tell them fired
up. Look at me, man, I've been up since four am. I woke up at like three and I was just thinking about today. Ah, it's a great day. It's Thursday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Senseay of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Deep dive. One of this country's greatest patriots was a Frenchman. A French nobleman born to immense wealth, the Marquis de Lafayette,
disliked court life and longed to fight for liberty. When he was nineteen years old, he bought a ship and set sail from France to join the American Revolution, arriving in South Carolina on June thirteenth, seventeen seventy seven. Show of hands. Who knew that? You know the name? You know he was part of it? Perhaps? Perhaps? But did you know at that young of an age. I didn't. Nineteen he obviously prior to that, he made the decision. He'd heard about what was going on in America.
He's he's in a life of privilege to the extent that you're saying, I mean, he's in a whole nother world. It would be like Baron Trump saying, yeah, I'm enlisting, only I'm enlisting for some other country, declaring that quote, the welfare of America is intimately connected with the happiness of all mankind. By the way, know any nineteen twenty year old saying things like that. Lafayette volunteered to serve in the Patriot Army without pay. He
fought beside the American troops, suffered with them at Valley Forge. I have two letters in my study from a young man that served at Valley Forge when he was sixteen. George Washington became like a father to Lafayette. Lafayette named his son for Washington. After the Revolution, Lafayete sailed back to France twice. He returned to America to see his old comrades. The second trip came in eighteen twenty four, when he was an old bent man. He traveled
from town to town and everywhere crowds welcomed him as a hero. At one reception, a story goes, an old soldier in a faded uniform approached the Frenchman over his shoulder, he carried a tattered blanket. He drew himself up, gave a salute, and asked if Lafayette remembered the snows of Valley Forge. Lafayette answered, I shall never forget them. One bitter night, continued the soldier. You came upon a shivering sentry. His clothes were thin,
he was near frozen. You took his musket, and you said, go to my hut, get my blanket, and bring it to me while I keep guard. The soldier obeyed your directions. When he returned to his post, you took out your sword and you cut your blanket in two. One half you kept. The other half you gave to the sentry. Here, Lafayette is half of the blanket for I am the soldier whose life you saved. Wow. That's incredible. That's that's that's that is so oh my goodness.
Can you see it, I mean, can you picture it in your mind, this old man walking up to another old man saying thank you, Oh my goodness. All right, So that was on this date in seventeen seventy seven that Lafayette de Lafayette arrived in the United States. Eighteen oh five, Lewis and Clark expedition reaches the Great Falls of the Missouri River. Nineteen seventeen, US troops sent to fight in Europe for the during World War One,
departed from New York Harbor sixty seven. Nineteen sixty seven, Lyndon Johnson nominates Stirgod Marshall to become the first Black Justice of the Supreme Court, and in nineteen eighty three, the probe Pioneer ten becomes the spacecraft to leave the Solar System nineteen eighty three. Wow sixteen almost seventeen minutes now past the hour. Speaking of wow La at WFLAFBM dot com, on your phone with the iHeartRadio app, and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox
in Sonos, and Iheart's radio station. Little follow up here. Pioneer ten's last received signal was on January twenty third, two thousand and three. It was seven point six billion miles from Earth, took eleven hours twenty minutes to reach Earth, and it has not been heard from or contacted since it was originally designed for a twenty one month mission. It carries an aluminum plaque with diagrams of a man and a woman in the Solar System and its location relative
to fourteen pulsars in case intelligent life finds it. But I'm here. There could be other intelligent life out there, Preston. Oh okay, yeah, so I was just curious about that. Okay, this is craziness. I was just for obvious reasons. I was drawn to this story, and craziness is probably not quite the right adjective. Experts in Germany have uncovered a deciphered
manuscript that has been determined to be the oldest record of Jesus's childhood. CBS News reported on this It's now being written about in multiple Sits sixteen hundred year old document was being stored at a university library in Hamburg, Germany, for
decades. It was ignored until a couple of professors from Germany's Institute for Christianity and Antiquity and Belgium's University of Liege looked it over and they they said it was the earliest surviving copy of the quote infancy Gospel of Thomas, which offers a detailed descriptive child of Jesus christ childhood. In a news release, they said the Paprius contains anecdotes not found in the Bible, but one that would
have been available and shared during the Middle Ages. Words on the document reveal a remarkable miracle Jesus performed as a child. I'm going to get to that in a second, because it's kind of funny. When the professors were looking at the paprius, they said it was a neglect for so long because researchers had considered it insignificant. However, new technology enabled the two men to translate the language on the document and compare it to other early Christian texts, quoting
them. It was thought to be part of an everyday document, used as such a private letter, shopping list, et cetera. We first noticed the word Jesus in the text. Then, by comparing it with numerous other digitized PAPRII we deciphered it letter by letter and quickly realized that it could not be an everyday document. And in it I'm I'm just reading a story, okay. In the Gospel of Thomas story, which of course is not in the Bible, the five year old Jesus is playing in a stream, molding twelve
sparrows out of soft clay in the river bed mud. His father sees what he's doing and scolds him. I guess ostensibly because he's getting dirty. I don't know. I mean, come on, he's a kid. And Jesus demands to know why he's molding clay on the Sabbath. Jesus responds by telling the clay figures to take flight as living birds, and they obey. He performs a miracle at five. Now, look, I'm not saying it happened, but I'm not saying it didn't. He's he's the son of God.
He's God in the flesh incarnate, and he was teaching in the synagogues before he was thirteen. Do you think five year old Jesus ever said to Joseph, you're not my real dad. I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, remember, now, Joseph got word of who Jesus was with an angelic visit. He was told, hey, look you're going to be doing a good thing here, and and so he and Jesus's mom. I mean, they knew the son of God is here. What do
you do with that? Is there anything I can teach him? It's like Stepdad of the year, decade, century, millennia, ever ever ever? History? Wow? Yeah, twenty seven past the hour. It's a story that's out there. If you want to read more about it, there's all kinds of stories to check it out. Back with the Big Stories in the press Box. Listening to the M A D Radio Network, you are challenged to make a difference each and every day. Would you do that for US
police? Please? Just a little just try it to a you. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott, Steve Stewart. Next Hour, doctor David Hartz joins us, give you a road trip idea, prep you for our visit with Alan Tenta, Season ten winner of Alone and more. Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Creative Grove of Creative marketing and digital expertise. Quick reminder if you're new to the program, the Big Stories may or may not be the stories that are making headlines across the country.
Sometimes absolutely, other times not so much. Because I defer I have three buckets, things that you're talking about, things you will talk about, and things you should be talking about. And I defer to that one. I approach this program with the mindset that, yeah, everybody's talking about that. I get it, and they're just times that I have to kind of bow to that. But there are other stories that just you just need to know
about and need to be thinking about. Florida's budget has been signed for the twenty twenty four to twenty five fiscal year, which begins July one. It is less than last year's budget. How many governments say that, Yeah, we've cut our budget from a year ago. There's a seventeen billion dollar surplus. Putting into emergency reserves. As part of that budget, line item vetos
added up to a billion dollars that was cut out of that budget. Since Dessantas has become governor, we have reduced the taxpayer debt of this state by thirty six percent, or six point three billion, and we're paying down another half a billion. We'll talk to Jimmy Patrona's CFO of the state tomorrow about that. More money for education, money for the renewed Florida State Guard,
money for corrections, which is very significant. We're finally, under the leadership of this governor, the legislature and Correction Secretary Ricky Dixon really pushing hard. We're getting funding now for people that are going to be back in our communities twenty to thirty thousand every single year. They're coming back, Are they ready to be successful. Are there things in place to help them be successful? These are things that matter to the overall success of this state, all of
it. And so well done legislature, Well done governor. Obviously, when you cut stuff from a budget, there's people that are ah Man, I looked at the cut list for things in the local area. I get it. I think I understand why they were cut. Some of them may be a little bit more painful than others. The Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at a twenty three year high for most of the year. There's a chance they might do one cut. But as of right now, quoting them,
inflation is elevated. Economic outlook quote uncertain, and so they're not budging. It tells you Bidenomics continues to fail us. Duh. And then I thought this was interesting. Have you know anything about Argentina's I guess President Javier Malay he's draining the swamp. He is announced another fifty thousand positions from government getting cut. Twenty five have already been cut. He is he is cutting the size of government, he's cutting the scope of government, he's cutting entitlements.
And when he took over, inflation was three hundred percent. It's down to eleven for the first time the country posted a surplus since two thousand and eight, and he blames the bleep leftists for the problems that he inherited. It's just worth noting conservative principles always work when they're properly applied. Always forty minutes
past the hour some for your information. Coming up next running Joe at Preston Scott's What You Do with Freedom on US Radio one hundred point seven w u f L. A US Open golf tournament beginning shortly in about just a few minutes. Some Floridians local from Tallassee, Parker Bell te and Off at six fifty six on the first t he'll be joined. He's a Florida Gator even
though he's from here. He went to the University of Florida. Frederick uh chet Trup will be in the same group with him, te and Off and then later today Luke Clanton f s U golfer as well, another one with chet Trup. I always mispronounce his name. He's He's I think from Norway and it's k j E. T t Are you He and I had to do a deep dive because I'm doing the news now, and so name pronunciation is like a huge thing to me. I get I get stuff wrong all
the time. When you exteporaneously talk, you just you fumble stuff. It happens. But with news, you really I try to really get it right. Figuring out how to say the kJ sound at the beginning of a name Norwegian style, and it took me some studying. Literally I had to. I had to go to sites and then translate the site with an online translator to English to figure out what they're saying and the kJ sound in that where he's from is it's not jet trip, It's not jet trip, it's chech
jet trip. Who knew, man, I've been saying that poor kid's name wrong in my head for four years. I'm sure he's used to it by now. I guess really good Golfer, good kid. And of course Brooks kept GOA and Fsu. Golfer's kind of forgotten Fsu, except now he's apparently warming back up, so good for him. Brooks has come back around. He kind of he's an aloof guy, and he kind of to Fsu. But now he's been a really cool alum to the team and to Trey Jones
and FSU in general. So that's good. So I wish him all well, I'd love to see Parker play. Well, he beat Sergio Garcia in a playoff to get him the thing, and Sergio Garcia is no you know, I mean, he's kind of a legend. But Garcia got in enough. Guy's dropped out that he got in as an alternate. That's not the FYI for the segment. They for the segment is the Supreme Court is not going to consider a challenge to Joe Biden's executive order, which directs federal agencies
to use government funding and resources for voter registration. That's not the role of the government. But the Supreme Court's not going to take up the challenge, which is brought by Pennsylvania lawmakers, and a judge originally kicked it out saying, you have no standing. Oh, I hate those words. I hate those words. You don't have standing. Whatever. But the Supreme Court's not going to take the case until September thirtieth, which means they're likely not going
to have a decision in time to affect the election. And that's a shame because this benefits the cheating. Lastly, and this is just a one of the research assistants. In fact, the research assistant supervisor sent this story to me. The New York City Audubon has changed its name because ornathalogist and illustrator John James Audubon owned slaves and was an anti abolitionist. He did not want to end slavery. Okay, like a bunch of people. That was wrong.
Man. We took down statues and paintings and named name names of things for people that were that were perfect and blame or had sinned sorry of some kind. Nothing would be named nothing. And I guess that's okay, fine, take names off of it, all names everything. Nothing's named for anybody, because everybody's got shortcomings in their life. Everybody's screwed up. It's the
New York City Bird Alliance. The National Audabond Society voted last year to keep the name good on them, but individual chapters in late here's the Who's Who New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, among other cities, have said, we will no longer be called the Audubon Society of whatever. We
will not be affiliated with that. Okay, hope you feel better. Forty seven minutes past the hour and we come back I'm going to tell you the significance of one hundred and twenty morning drive version of an audio magazine and keeping you company as you prepare for your day. It's the Morning Show with President Scott. US Open underway. Heinhurst number two a devilish golf course. I think the designers Donald Ross and take a bowl and turn it upside down,
and those are the green complexes. If you hit it too close to the edge of any of those bulls, it's gone. It's gonna just keep on rolling. And it has no rough. It just has these waste areas with wire grass and all kinds of other native grasses, and it is going to I will I will put the cut. Depending on how how sadistic the USGA gets. I'll put the cut at five to seven over, I'll be shocked. If the winning score approaches eight or nine under, I'll be shocked.
But anyway, Father's Day weekend is a beautiful thing. The US Open. Mmmmmm all right. The significance of the number one hundred and twenty. If you can envision this, that is the number of gas pumps at what is now the largest BUCkies in the world. It opened in Lulling, Texas, seventy five thousand square feet inside the actual store, restaurant, tourist destination, and one hundred and twenty gas pumps. I just think about the line to
get in and out of the place. But BUCkies does what they do there, They've got it down. I'm sure they have to have extensive market researched to put in a location of that size. Is there really a demand for one location with one hundred and twenty pumps? Yes, I ten east of San Antonio. Now, if you know, you just I ten Jacksonville can take you all the way to the California coast. You don't have to get off once straight across the country. Just I've made the drive from Arizona.
It's just it's like, no need for a map, just keep going straight. Yes, and Texas is the across the state. East to west is the longest drive in the world, which is why I think last time I checked, the speed limit was like eighty or eighty five in parts of Texas. It's just yeah, we're still in Texas, Still in Texas, Still in Texas. It's just time. Oh, it's several hours to get from one into the other. Oh, it takes the better part of a day.
I mean, it's it's a good twelve hours from one side of Texas to the other. Maybe ten. Anyway, I just thought it was worth mentioning because there are people that just love going to BUCkies, and my wife and I we are among them. I've not been to many. My wife stops on trips she makes frequently. In fact, she has it mapped out to make two stops on her drive and they're both at BUCkies. But I
will tell you the barbecue brisket that is otherworldly. Their food is really good, but the brisket is next level, best brisket sandwich I've ever had in my life. And they do it all right there, All right, let's come back. Steve Stewart joins us from Tellassi reports no shortage of things to talk about there. In hour two of the Morning show, we having a moment to lose ruminators. Five past the hour, Thursday, June thirteenth. It's not a unlucky day. It's a lucky day. You're lucky to be
listening. It's gonna be a great day here on the program show fifty one seventy nine. Jared over there running the show, and I am joined by Steve Stewart. He's the executive editor of Tallast Reports, the website Tellasker Reports dot com. Ello, sir, good morning, Preston, how are you good. We mentioned last week that I think wasn't it Thursday that you announced that a city commissioner had formed a pack? Or did that story break just
after that? I think it broke just maybe just after that or write around that. But has it ever had in the history of this city? I mean, political action committees have become a thing, but do we know of any other time where a commissioner has put together a pack to attack another commissioner? No? I mean I talked to you obviously, we've been involved for a number of years. Don't ever remember that. I've taught to some political observers who've been around for a while. No, this is the first time
it's ever happened. And I think this is this is instructive on where we are on the city commission, and this is a battle and we you know, it's so funny because when when they had the mayor race two years ago, one of the headlines in our newspaper was progressives plot control taking over a city commission. They continue to do that and this is not a battle between
Republicans and Democrats. It's a battle within the Democratic Party. And the problem with that is is that you know, conservatives and moderates look and say, man, I don't like any of this. I mean, you've got the ones, you know, the majority of the City Commission or you know, they voted for a tax increase, right, a property tax increase, and you're like, man, I'm not going to vote for them. Well then you look and you've got the progressives who are you know, appointing defund the
police advocates to the citizens review boards? And it's just like, where do I go from here? It's best to look at it from that lens. And I think Commission Mattlow is helping out. He's helping people understand what's going on now, crystallizing it. He's Chris. It is the progressives against the moderate liberal Democrats, and people are going to have to be very attuned because what's going to happen is you've got to look at the issues, the policies.
But then you've got to say, listen, do we want to head down this road of progressive policy making which we've seen in other cities that the state of Talhase has sort of been able to fend off because of our unique character here from a demographic standpoint. I'm not releasing until I give the candidates in the various races that I want to talk to a chance to respond. But I had a very long sit down with dot Edman Johnson yesterday. It
was a good visit we had. It was very cordial. She walked away saying it was a very fair visit, and I'll share all of that. But one of the things she highlighted, Steve was the lack of civility in the city commission. And what's interesting is I pointed out that, yeah, it goes across all of it, but somebody that's supporting her is now using a to attack another commissioner. Right. I just wonder how that's going to square with the idea and the messaging of civility. Right. Well, the
whole point on the civilia though it is one sided. It's a one sided issue in the sense that it's the progressive supporters that are making it uncivil, and they're doing this to get attention. They've learned how to do this, and social media you can get up and and make these outrageous statements, somebody puts them on social media and they get you know, they get promoted that way. But what you have now is you have Commission Mallow. And this
is what is the dangerous part of this. His Commissioner Malow was the long elected official that pushed this planning evidence fiasco against law enforcement that really resulted in nothing, just sort of went away because after the jury actually heard the facts, they understood that it was not the way was portrayed by Commission Mallow during before, during and after the trial. So now it's like he's just trying to get things to stick, to get control of the City Commission. And
now he starts his political action committee. As of yesterday, he's the only one that's donated money to this. But remember two years ago money from California came in, yeah, you know, fifty seventy five thousand dollars to try to help the progressives take control of the City Commission. That's what it's about. And what's going to happen now is you're going to have to the voters are going to have to weave their way around these issues. As you know,
and we'll talk more about this in a little while. With the media, but they've got to figure out, Look, you know the property tax
increase. We hired more police officers. So am I upset about the property tax increase to the degree that I'm willing to give Commissioner Mattlow, who obviously is infatuated with having control of the city commission and attacking police exactly, And I want to point out that large parts of this community that are primarily minority parts of the community, zip codes that are a little economically challenged, they
want more police. They do. And it's and that is the again, though, what they're going to come out to moderates that conservatives say, you know, these guys voted for attack increase. Well, the rest of the story is they hired more police officers, and now voters will have to make the decision. Right, they're going to say, hey, we don't want the tax increase. I think both you and I come at it from the position of they didn't need to do the tax increase, but they did not.
But exactly, so what is the alternative? And so the other part of this is you said, well, how progressive can they get? We talked about the planning the evidence. Jack Porter was the only commission to vote against the Amazon project, and she said after they hired fifteen hundred people, she said she'd vote against it again. So that's what the progressive policies you have to be worried about. They're obviously not going to talk about that in
the campaign trail. We're going to talk more about campaigns and qualifying. Next ten past the Hour, Steve Stewart with me is Tallasireports dot com. Guy, do what you're talking about, what you will be talking and most importantly, what you should be talking about. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott seems to Wart with me from Tallas Reports. So the qualifying window ends to Marday, it does. Yeah, and I don't I don't know that we're
done. I got I got a sneaking suspicion that there are going to be some last minute entries. We'll see. I could be wrong. I mean, you've run for office. But more importantly, you've covered this for a long time. Is it too late to get into a race, not in a local race, with the way social media is now? Really? Yeah, Okay, it's not not at all, because I mean primaries are in
August. Primaries in August, but people once and a half away. Look, people aren't paying attention right now, so it's it's I think that it's uh, it's something that can happen. Look, the qualifying period is where you actually have to write to check and decide what's going to happen. Let's look at a couple of races. So let's start with the Northeast uh Leon
Kinty Commission. There are a couple of seats that are that are up and their opponents Northeast, Brian Welch, who knocked off Brian Dolge, is running for a second term and he has a challenger that Ray Isaac Monteo, Mantiya Mantia. Okay, I've been towncing that wrong, Mantia. And so if nobody else gets in that race, there's only two people in that race. That moves to November. Okay, so there will not be a race in August. Now, if someone else was to get in, like before tomorrow,
then they would have a they'd have a race in August. Because it's nonpartisan, it wouldn't matter. None of that matters. However, Now, so that race, both of them have raised over one hundred thousand dollars for this district race. They're both going to get their message out. The only
difference would be if it's going to be in August or November. If it's in November, the dynamic changes because listen to the northeast, that's where a lot of Republicans live, and they don't Sometimes they forget the August twentieth race, you know. And I remember after I lost once in you know, the primary, and I ran it to somebody in September. I'm gonna vote for you, I don't think so, so not me or not so.
Anyway, that's going to be an interesting race to see. And again, if one person was to get into that, it would change the whole dynamic and move it back to August. Right now, that's in contrast to the City races, which are they have more than one Canada in each of the two races, so they have more than two. Yes, I'm sorry, they have more than two. That's the key, right, And so they were going to be in August. But with the City, even if it
was just two, they would run in August. And that's what's on the ballot to move that. So if you only have two, you moved to November. But anyway, so the City race is what will happen If you
don't get fifty percent in August. The top two go to November. So it's very important that if you're interested in city races, and I you know, I'm convinced that some people don't even know that they live in the city because if you look at the Northeast, the way they have jerry mandered and included certain neighborhoods in the Northeast, I really do that some people aren't even sure that they live in the city. And I mean the city limits now
stretch all the way to Bannerman Road. Okay, yeah, their pockets. It's it's crazy. It looks like a piece of puzzle exactly. And so you have a vested interest in voting in August. I mean, there's going to be right now, it's like around seven eight candidates and we'll figure out on Friday to vote for. So you've got to figure out which ones to vote for. You're probably with that many candidates in each of O's races. It's probably going to go to November, and then obviously the dynamic will change.
For example, when we had the mayoral race, there's three candidates. Christian Doser actually got more votes than Mayor John Daily, but did not get fifty percent correct, and then in November Mayor Daily was able to win. I think you got fifty two to fifty three percent of the vote. So the elections are very different, the makeup is very different, and so there are a lot of people that want to win in August because if they get
to November, the whole electric changes. Are you going to put a paper out that puts a large map showing the city and what encompasses the city, and yeah, that'd be a good idea. I mean, we're going to cover the two city races are huge anyway, so I mean we're going to have really good covers of that and we will let that's a great idea. We will show where do you live, like a double truck two sides, you know, I mean literally open it up. If you live in this
area. You're voting in the city, right and again it's all one district. Yeah right, And so it's it. But the August are important races because that's where you have your choice because it's going to get narrowed down to two for November. Good stuff, all right, More with Steve Stewart next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott us LA on your phone with the iHeart Radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox,
and Sonos and Ihearts Radio. Season twenty one minutes twenty two minutes past the hour Morning Show with Preston Scott, Steve Stewart with me, Executive editor of Tallahassee reports the website where you can subscribe and the reasons to subscribe are about to become even more numerous. It's no surprise, but locally we are bereft of media that want to be anything but buddies and friends with the elected officials, and so we're not getting things covered. Well it's not just elected officials.
And this is where I'm sort of at the end of my rope here, and I know this segment's going to sound of self serving, but the local media now has really adopted what's going on nationally. They've divided, they decided to get into camps. Unlike Nashville, where conservatives liberals can find news that they want to reinforce what they think, okay are they can research the
truth locally. What we've seen now is local media outlets, which you know there's talas reports Talis Democrat Capal Outlook, you look at TV stations, you look at DXLWCTV. They the evidence is they're not interested in writing about what these progresses are doing. Now. I don't know if they're afraid of them like some you know this and the council culture is big here. You know, we've seen Commission Matt Lego after a rookie police officer on a you know,
on a fake news story. And so the apathy from business communities they don't want to speak out because they don't you know, they don't want to. They don't want to have their picture plaster on social media and called a racist or because they support districts or whatever. Okay, And so the local media is participating in this. I mean, we've talked about this story with
Biomission. Biomission. They won't ask questions, Okay, Commission reporter it you know, it's taking these trips to this to this left wing group, and she's not reporting who's paying for it. I just imagine, okay, back in the day, if there was a city commissioner, or even now, if it was say may or John Day taking a trip to a conference on economic development and a developer paid for and he didn't disclose it. They'd be
all over that. Nobody's asking questions, okay, and there's opportunities, and I'm talking about from radio stations to the print media. They just are protecting the Progressives. It's not that they don't know about the story, because they clearly know. It's just like this political action committee that Commission Mattlow has started. This is a big story. Sure is find it. It's you know, it's Jeff Burlow buried it in a campaign story about you know, fifteen
other things. This has never happened before. Okay, and so why is this happening? And you know, why is he creating this PC political action committee? Is not covered. They are not asking the questions. Now again we don't. I've got to redouble my efforts, okay, to get the message out there because they are not They will not talk about what their mission is. And I go back to Commission reporter. Why isn't she talking about
this group. She's been visiting the group for the last three years. Local Progress which is a far left wing group that advocates for defunding law enforcement, advocates for getting rid of cars, no growth. Okay, you know, establishing bureaucracies within cities to take care of illegal immigrants. Why is she not talking about that. There's nothing on our social media. Yet we're paying part of the freight for her to go to these conferences and that's not covered anywhere.
Preston. It's alarming and it goes to show you when you read about these studies that show, as you know, as the reporters are, local media becomes co opted or bought out. You see that leaders have no they're
not held accountable for anything. Now, the bad news here is there's not a lot of options, and that's why we've got to redouble our efforts and we've got to make sure people understand what's going on, because there's no doubt that the reason why Commission Mattlow has started this Political Action Committee is to do what he did or tried to do with this police officer, is to promote this information because all he's interested in, he's not interested in in Tala hassee.
He's interested in getting controlled of the city Commission. He's not interested with working well. His statement on the PAC the Pack illustrates that he says that the negativity is coming from the progressive side or the conservative side or the other side or whatever it is. Yeah, and I mean they are they're arguing, you know that every chance they get, they dingleaw enforcement. They you
know, they vote. I mean, commission reporter voted against the Amazon project, and then after it hires fourteen hundred people three or four hundred from the poor zip code in the state of Florida, she said she'd vote against it again. Now, I don't even know that that's been covered. That's we did a story on that. But I'm telling your listeners have got to pay attention to this. And there's not any easy votes here because this is this
is a fight for control of the City Commission among Democrats. We don't have a dog in the fight, meaning those of us who are more moderate, right of center or conservative, we don't have a dog in the fight. But we will determine what happens. But what's interesting about this is the progressive element. They are not shy about attacking their fellow Democrats, right, okay, But the moderate to liberal Democrats, they they're not sure what to do.
They're because they're not they're used to attacking Republicans, right, which is easy to do. That's in the playbook. Oh you know, is a circular firing squad. So now they're not really sure what to do. But the Progressives, the one thing they have going for them is they know what their mission is and they're going after it and they don't care who they attack. Truth be darned. All right, thank you, thank you pressing Steve Stewart, whether us, tell us your reports website, tell us your reports
dot com. Two mayor of Realville, dispensing information at the speed of sound, and if you're lucky, he'll be wearing his Clark Kent glasses. Today The Morning Show with Preston Scott Alan Tenta, season ten winner of Alone, joins us at the top of the hour. Half hour from now. Cannot wait. The season eleven premiere is tonight nine o'clock Eastern, eight o'clock Central on the History Channel. Really really fired up about that. Great to be
with you this morning. I'm Preston, He's Jared and yeah, but I'm still getting emails. Of course, people miss the announcement. Grant is no longer here with the show. He may pop in from time to time to fill in or I don't know, do a cameo or something. But but Grant is simplified his life a little bit. He's a new dad and his daughter turns one and in a week or so, and just he has a
full time job. This was a part time job for him, and which makes me sad, but that's just that's the way it is with iHeart right now. And so he needed to call something from his life and this is what had to go. And so his last his last show was the final day of May. And and so we are we are moving forward with we hope a new producer will be in tow perhaps as early as Monday, but more than likely later. A short week for me next week. I'm taking
a little time off later in the week. But anyway, big stories in the press box. Grove a creative marketing and digital expertise, are proud sponsor Fed Reserve, keeping the interest rates elevated at a twenty three year high. They're not going down. I will be shocked if they go down. To me, the only way they go down is if Trump wins the election and
there's some kind of market force reaction to that. Because the economy is bad and the Fed knows it, and they can't maintain any level of credibility by lowering interest rates because it would be an absolute payoff to try to Biden, and so they're not. They call the inflation elevated and the economic outlook uncertain, and I think that's being kind other big story in the press box, we talked a little bit about Argentina's President Javier Malay really draining the swamp.
I would dig a little deeper into that Story's he shows up at rallies sometimes with chainsaws. He carries a chainsaw with him to illustrate the cuts in government that he's bringing. And he is making massive cuts and Argentina is economically turning around, which is significant. It's it's hugely significant. And maybe the biggest
story is Florida's budget has been signed by the governor. He brought the veto pen to about one billion dollars and the budget ended up at one sixteen five one hundred and sixteen point five billion, which means it is a cut from last year's budget. So austerity is still part of the landscape in Florida. That's good. We're adding seventeen billions in surplus reserves and we're paying down debt. Since Royn Desandas took over as governor. We paid down thirty six percent
of debt. And how many state governments can say that would? I would venture very very few. So all that's good news. All right? Forty minutes past the hour, come back Optimum health naturally. Doctor David Hearts joins us next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Wow World, consider him your truth detector. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WUFLA. Forty one minutes after the hour. Time to feel better, my friends, joining us Doctor David Harts, Hello, sir, how are you? And good morning Preston. Doing well? We are. We're going into a topic that I would never put the words together. Sign you sitis and chronic well, they can be chronic sinus siduss. There's no
doubt about it. Really about thirty three million people that suffer with sinus infections and sometimes they come and mostly medically, they're treated with antibotics and and histon, the congestics, nasal sprays, and many of them go away, some definitely go away, but then there's a large percentage of people end up with chronic problems with their sciences. The problems come back the symptoms come back.
Sometimes they're put on multiple different courses of antibotics. And in years and years ago, about twenty years ago, Mayo Clinic did a study and published some papers on the fact that the standard way we usually go after these particular problems in medicine by doing after bacteria is and always the way. Sometimes it's actually a fungus that's doing this. And then there's been after some of these studies
done, there's been some kind of fighting and liture about this. But in functional and integrative areas of study that we work in, we find this happens quite frequently. In fact, Mayo Clinics says it's about ninety percent at one point. They believe in some of the studies they had that they found antibodies to specific types of fungus in a large percentage of these people, and one
of them is an alterra altanada. It's called it's a specific fungus and mold that is very very common in households and in air conditioning ducts in different areas that we find and just treating them with antibotics doesn't get this, It just
doesn't help it. So part of my idea this morning is just to put this idea out to people with sinus problems that just aren't going away to maybe get it checked a little different way, because by just going after that same type of antibotic type of a process, it doesn't seem the beginning these problems.
So you can't do anybody testing for these particular molds, and it's more specialty tests and have to kind of find somebody that's in alternative integrative functional medicine types sort of person and our people in town like that, and unfortunately this one might need a little bit of extra professional help to kind of narrow it down if you really want to. There are some different things you can do just naturally. You can actually buy on the internet specific types of nasal sprays
and try them. One of them is ACS Nasal Extra Strength, which ACS Nasal Extra Strength. They'll say that twice. You can get it on the internet, just over line and it's all natural and it does seem to help
with things like this. But also getting these tests for these antibodies and IgE airborne environmental and inhalins, and also getting food allergies sometimes can affect this and they're just not tested for because we kind of get into a corollary of treating just with antibiotics, and antibiotics in and of themselves, though they can handle certain things and do it very well, targeted too many antibiotics, we've learned
the hard way is really bad. Well, it can it can show the biome and the gut and cause immune problems and so forth like that, and there's no doubt about that. And there's been a tremendous move within medicine, you know, which is really great over the last maybe ten fifteen years to decrease the use of antibiotics yep, using only an emergency almost type situations,
that's correct. And then when you get into a chronic problem, with something like a chronic sinus problem and they're used consistently, then we can get into trouble. So it's always good. And what we always trying to go for is getting into the cause of the problem. So if something's not going away, then we need to look a little deeper see what we can find out something different. Good stuff, Doctor Hearts, thanks for the time today.
We'll talk again soon, Okay, Preston had a great day. Thank you, sir. Doctor David Harts with us forty six minutes after the hour Getting Closer. Morning Show with Preston Scott lock a bike with one of those bells and a radio just like the seventies. Yeah, I traveled with a radio taped to my bike. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Road Trip Idea. Now, remember we are in summer and I'm focusing on trips you can take in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, maybe Mississippi.
And today, my friends, we take you to the Everglades and our suggestion is the skunk Ape Research Headquarters. It is you take seventy five and then it crosses across the Everglades and you take you take I think that's twenty nine south, or you can take seventy five and branch off and take forty one and forty one will take you to the skunk Ape Research Headquarter. And it's in a Chope, Florida, a chopee if you're not sure what the
skunk ape is. That is the Florida term for bigfoot yetti sasquatch or sasquatch. And this is actually named one of the best roadside attractions in America. It's like in the top ten. It's crazy and they have an exhibit. There are guided tours. They'll take you out on the water. You can go fishing. I mean, it's not fishing for although I guess you could, but it's a thing. And so your suggestion is the skunk Ape Research
headquarters. And it's a drive now, I mean, you're you're going down there and you can the best part of making this trip is there's so many things that you can stop and do on the way there. On the way back, you can go to other places from there. They do have a camp adjacent to the to the place you can you can camp there if you dare anyway, speaking of camping, Tonight is the season premiere of a loan
season eleven. I have watched every sin Goal season. First of all, you have to understand I have a personalized photo from Less Stroud back here. Less Droud is survivor man and he did seven day challenges, three day challenges, different things where he would put himself in these extreme situations and then show techniques of survival. We've had Less on the program multiple times over the years. It's been a while because he stopped doing the show, but alone took
the concept. I don't know if it was shaped by Less's success and what they did, but they took it one better. And I say that because what the History Channel came up with with a loan is a program where ten proven survival experts. Now some do it professionally, some teach others. In the case of Alententa, who will join us in just a few minutes, they taught high school kids in a high school about outdoor survival and outdoors.
Some come with a totally different skill set from others, but they prove themselves. They're picked for the show, they get to select their items. We'll talk about that. And there's a location and they're all taken to remote parts of a location where there's no other people, no other humans. The Alone staff sets up a base camp with medical experts and you know, producers and
camera people that are there when they do medical checks. But the show is unique because these ten people are dropped off with camera gear and their gear and there's no camera crew. There's no one documenting anything. They document it themselves. It's just them and whoever stays out there. The longest wins and the prizes have been anything from I think two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand to a million. They did a one hundred day challenge that was a million
dollars, I think. But they're in very unforgiving parts of the world. And so we're going to talk to the winner of last seasons Alone. He was the one of the guys we singled out right away as having a great chance of winning. We'll talk about all of that, and I cannot wait. This is going to be so much fun for me, and I hope you'll enjoy it, and I hope you'll watch because I think it's the best show on television and I think there's a big distance between it and Second.
It's real, it's good, it's fascinating, it shows ingenuity and grint and I can't wait. Next five minutes past the hour. It is the third hour of The Morning Show with Preston Scott Sho soh five and seventy nine. Great to be with you. We appreciate you joining us, whether it's on terrestrial radio or iHeartRadio all throughout the country around the world. And that is Jared running the program and I am so I'm like such a kid right now. Joining me on the show is season ten winner of Alone, Alan ten
to Alan, Welcome to the show. How are you, sir? Well, I'm pretty good, but you know what, I live in mountain times, So it's six o'clock in the morning right now, so home, We've been awake for both five minutes. So I'm a little sleepy dude. I will take what I get, and I'm grateful that you were willing to wake
up early for us. Does it kind of stir something that you know that the new season is going to start being shown to people across the country and around the world today, I mean, does this evoke a lot of memories? Absolutely? Yeah, Like I was talking about that with my wife yesterday.
It's it stirs up a whole new string of emotions because almost exactly a year ago, while it was June eighth for me last year, you know, and you wait a long time because it's filmed so far in advanced and you have to you wait, you know, almost an entire year before it's actually aired. And yeah, there's just that weird feeling of excitement and because
you have no idea what the edit is. You don't know what they did, you don't know what story they're going to tell, because we filmed, you remember, we filmed eight hours a day and uh, and they take you know, we have no idea what footage they're going to take from that eight hours or what story they're going to weave for you, you know what I mean, Like it's all legit, but they can definitely take certain aspects of your of your experience out there and kind of you know, knit a
story to to suit whatever kind of goal they had in mind for you. So so a little bit nerve wracking, Alan, I could like dominate your day because I would. I would pay money to sit and just talk with you about this whole experience, because I've been fascinated with this show since it started. But I'm going to break it up into three parts. Tell me about your decision. What what caused you to say I want to try out
for this. Well, it was mostly the people around me. I'm an outdoor education teacher at the high school in my local town here in British Columbia, Canada, and I teach outdoor education to a group of kids and every Friday, we used to do carving skills, like we were working on a walking stick and they implement all the bushcraft carving skills onto that walking stick and they can take it home at the end of the year, and while we
were watching Sorry Why, we were carving a stick. I used to put on old episodes of A Loan on Fridays so they can, you know, watch old episodes while we're doing a little carbon It's just a good relaxing Friday activity. And the kids started saying, mister Kenta, you should apply to that show. We do a lot of these things, you know, we do shelter, building, fire starting, a lot of things that they are doing on the show. And eventually I just h and my sister in law
actually sent me the application email. It's just like to do a casting call once a year. He was actually on Facebook that she sent it to me. And I just sent this a little blurb of an email. It was literally four or five sentences, and that led to a larger application, and then that led to an interview and casting videos and it just and the whole process of the application went for probably four months. So I just kept on
moving on to the next step. Somehow. When you got word you were selected, what was your reaction, what was your wife's reaction, your family? Well, I was driving at the time, I remember exactly it was. I was on the Cocahalla Highway going to Vancouver, and I got a phone call and the call displace said New York, and I knew right away that this was whether this was a yes or a no. I pulled over and obviously it was a yes. And was just pure excitement because there's so
much waiting during the application process. You do one thing and a new wait another two weeks before hear you do another thing and new, wait another two weeks. So even though it was kind of it was fun and exciting, it was stressful waiting and knowing because there's so much preparation that it goes into it right. But I know it was pure elation. I was very excited. I wasn't nervous yet. I was just more Wow, this is the end of the process. How exciting. I can't wait to start my preparation.
Alan ten to with us. He won Season ten of a Loon. I mentioned earlier in the program that when my wife, my wife and I watch it every year, we kind of narrow it down right away when we see the ten who we think is kind of made up to be a finalist and make it to the end. Alan was one of our picks. I'm very proud to say that I did him early on. We've got more to talk about the ten items. I got to get to that next on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott and Joe. With Preston Scott, they're gonna get knock knock, Who's Nash On w FLA eleven past the hour, continuing our discussion with Alan tent to season ten alone Tonight, season eleven debuts. How's that for timing nine o'clock Eastern, eight o'clock Central on the History Channel. I will be I can't, I can't wait for the new season. All right, the ten items, everybody gets the same basic kit in terms of
cameras, batteries, emergency gear. Right, yeah, and then the ten item list take me through without going through the whole thing. How did you decide what ten items were going to be chosen based on your experience? Allen? What what was the criteria? Well? I knew that my two passions and things that I'm on the best stat are are bowl hunting and fishing, So obviously I was gonna take my archery equipment, so along my it's got
to be a traditional boat, either a long bow or a recurve. I shoot a long boat, and you're allowed to take nine arrows and that's that counts as one item. And you're allowed three hundred yards of monofilamon fishing line with twenty five just bare hooks, and you have to make your own lures and whatnot out of those. So I knew those two were coming with me hands down, and I brought an axe because you know, I had a
saw. But the only really reason I brought an axe was in case I made it to freeze up, i'd be able to chop through the ice to ice fish, because I remember a previous season a character named Winnie. I don't know if you remember her. She didn't bring an axe, and I had seen in my mind of her trying to break through the ice with her saw, and she just couldn't do it to ice fish. So I said, man, I got to bring an axe for that very reason. Obviously,
I brought a sleeping bag, a pot for cooking I bought. I brought eleven in multitools. There was a knife employers on there. I really wanted the multitude because making snares and making krishing lures with my with my snare wire, I really wanted to be able to cut the wire easily with my players. Alan, Hell, how important you've mentioned a previous season watching what other contestants did. Had you watched all of the previous seasons and how much
did that influence your choices? Well, I watched most of the seasons. There's a couple that I still haven't seen yet, but I'd say I've may have only missed one season just not making the same mistakes that some previous contestants
made. And the big one for me was, I mean, how often have you have we seen past contestants build massive cabins, put all their energy into building the shelter, and then tapping out shortly after the build a shelter because they exhausted themselves and didn't put food procurement as the number one goal. That was one thing, and just some some of the old players that had such a positive attitude, and I saw how that was so important not to
let your mind go to those dark places. And yeah, so I kind of my brother directed me towards a little bit of meditation, just just very basic meditation to to help keep a positive mind frame, because when your mind starts going dark, you start convincing yourself with reasons you should hit that button, because you got to remember, you've got a button on your hip on a little on what's called the yellow brick. It's going to be with you
all the time, with a go home button all the time. So if your mind isn't positive, it's it would be really hard to resist hitting that button, you know, because it's there all the time, and when it starts getting late in the game and you and you're hungry and you're cold, and it's really easy to convince yourself to hit that button. Of the list of items that you were allowed to bring that you chose what one proved to
be the most important. Well, it would have to be the fishing equipment, because without the fish, I wouldn't have been able to sustain myself because I caught well, I think I caught roughly an estimation, probably over one hundred pounds of fish. Wow, with that fishing line. So and the fish out there were big, so it didn't take very many to catch one
hundred pounds because the average size is probably between three to six pounds. Each fish I caught, I think it's one of about eight pounds all intent to with us, we got one more segment to go kind enough to carve out some time. The season premiere of Alone on the History Channel is to night,
nine o'clock eastern, eight o'clock Central on the History Channel. And one more segment of all intent to the Season ten winner next year in the morning show left La on your phone with the iHeart Radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox and Sonos, Yes and iHeart Radio station Alone the season premiere tonight, season eleven, nine o'clock eastern eight o'clock Central on the History Channel. Season ten Winner, how about this, Kirby.
Shout out to you, Kirby for helping make this happen. I appreciate you so very much. Alan tent to the season ten winner with me this morning, kind enough to wake up real early in British Columbia to join us this morning Live, Alan, was there a moment you talked about You've got that button on your hip at the entire time you're out there. Was there one moment when it could have gone either way that you managed to push through that you can share? Uh? Yeah, there was one moment. I
don't remember exatly what day was, probably around day fifty. It got extremely cold. I mean we don't know how cold it is because we have no way of knowing. But I woke up in the middle of the night and I was shivering uncontrollably in my sleeping bag and my tepee, and at that point that I'd probably lost seventy pounds and I had just no way of staying warm out shivering. The inside of my sleeping bag felt like the inside of
the freezer I put down. I put on all my clothes and cleaning my winter jacket, squeezed in my sleeping bag, and I shivered through the night. And there was a point where I was actually worried about my life that one moment, because I was so cold, and there was like three or four hours still morning when it was still would warm up, and I thought, I thought it was getting hypothermic. And even if I did tap out of that moment, they wouldn't have been able to come and get me until
morning. So I pushed through and I solved that problem. They didn't show it, but I had to heat up hot rocks every night and throughout the night to make it through the last sixteen days or so. And I had a hot rock on my feet like these are boat and ball sized rocks. I'd heat up on my fire. I put one of my feet, one between my legs, and one on my chest, and every three hours I'd wake up, light another fire, heat the rocks again, put them back
at my sleeping bank. And that's how I made it through the nights for the last sixteen days. You mentioned weight loss give the before in the after, So I went in at two fifty nine and I came out at one point eighty one, So that's seventy eight pounds. If my mouth is right, when you realize that you'd won, because you have no clue when or if anybody's tapped out, you just you don't know. You can kind of guess, well, we've got some people gone by now. But when that
reveal happens, describe that moment, Well, they lie to you. They told me we were having a medical check. I hadn't had one in about three weeks, so I knew that I was I needed to have the MET check soon. And the helicopter I heard the helicopter lad and the MET team came up in there. You know, they took my blood pressure, I
mean, and there was a blizzard. If you watched the last episode, there's a snowstorm, and they're asking me questions, and the producers are really good asking you a question that they know are going to be emotional, make you emotional. It was my I won on November nineteenth. It was my dad's birthday on November eighteenth, and he passed away in twenty thirteen, so he had asked me a whole bunch of questions about me, all emotional.
And right after that, I was talking about Doritos, how I was having all my food Fanta season, and then all of a sudden, my wife tapped me on the shoulder. She'd be waiting on the beach the whole time, and told me I'd won. And man, what an incredible moment. When my wife and I still watched that scene, we still get very emotional. It's pretty powerful. And then there are all of the students that you have taught. Tell me the aftermath with those kids, Oh, they were,
they were pretty excited. Unfortunately, it's summer holidays when I won, right it was right August, and there is no school, so everything kind of died down because it wasn't for you know, quite quite a few weeks, three weeks or so, until I saw the students so they had all got a chance to kind of get over the excited. You know, I've seen most of them in town and whatnot previously, but no, they were
pretty excited. They were pretty excited. It would have been better if the school was actually going on and I like showed up to class the next day. They all knew I was on the show, but they obviously no one knew how I did until it ended on August seventeenth last year. Over the years, we've seen some shows where they bring people that came close back together. If they ever offered you an opportunity to do this again, would you absolutely yes, as long as it's soon, because you know, I'm no
spring chicken. I'm not getting any younger. I'm already the oldest personet to ever win at fifty two, so you know it's going to happen pretty quick. You know, things aren't getting My knees aren't getting any better. If you did it again and it were in a cold environment again, what would you do differently? If anything, I'd build a smaller shelter so it'd warm up more easily, and I'd buy a much better sleeping bag. Yeah, I'd get a minus sixty rated instead of a minus forty. My sleeping bag
was my weakest item. It didn't keep me warm very well. The nights were a real struggle. Alan, proud of you, brother, as just someone that admired the grit and the determination and the skills required to make it through it. Man, it's a delight to have you on the program. I count this a high mark for me and I've done about eight thousand interviews on this show. It's really cool to have you on the program. And I wish you nothing but the best. Hey, I appreciate it. Thank
you very much, sir, Thank you. Alan tent To with Us Season ten, Winner of a Loon Season eleven, debuts tonight on the History Channel nine o'clock Eastern, eight o'clock Central. And yes, I will be talking about it. And it's past the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're here to make it all better. There you go. Yes, it's okay, Yes, this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Man, I needed that,
Jared said, A smile never left your face. It's true. You're like a kid on Christmas. Yeah, buddy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And here's the thing. This week, I have been doing political interviews and God bless them, anybody you run for office, it's like going on alone. I mean, you're in a combat zone. It's just it's tough. But doing interviews with people that want to win office. And so I've been here, you know, I get here about four forty five or
so. I've been leaving between twelve twelve thirty one one thirty. Yesterday I left at one thirty. My voice is just dragging, and you're like, you're you're out there going and it's fair. You're going, oh poor you. I get it, I get it. I'm just saying I'm going to be here a while today doing the other production stuff that I have responsibilities to do, and finishing my my thank you card, specialized audio and all that. That interview with Alan Tanta just lifted my spirits because I am such a
fan of the show. The men and women, yes women that are on this show have such skills. They are so good at problem solving. Now, there are a few contestants over the years that I've gone, your kidney, you're not doing that, No, oh don't don't, And you did dah but there's some ingenious stuff and the way people approach it the challenge is so different, and I love it. I love problem solvers, absolutely love problem solvers. Find it, find a way, and I love it anyway.
Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grow a Creative Marketing digital Expertise. Big Story in the press Box. I love that interview. It was great, it was terrific, and it's going out on the Conversations podcast today. And yes, yes, thank you Alan. That applause from
the studio audiences for you. The editorial staff of the Morning show, they're down the hallway just muttering to each other because they're normally just they're just like looking for something to slam me on, and so they got nothing today. They got nothing. Anyway, Thank you again. I yeah. Governor de Santas signs the bill that is the budget. It is the thing that constitutionally
has to happen, and so it is done. It was signed yesterday on the twelfth of the month, which means lots of time to get everybody ready to go in the various agencies affected one hundred and sixteen billion, one hundred and sixteen point five billion. We are putting more in emergency reserves. We are paying down debt. We don't have much, we're paying it down. We paid down thirty six percent of debt under Governor Desandas and our budget is
less than it was last year. And I keep saying it. How many states can make these claims? Any of them? And oh, by the way, with no state income tax, thank you very much. This all of this buttresses several points, three of them in particular, one the importance of a balanced budget Amendment two, the importance of no personal income tax. People thrive. And you can do it with a consumption tax. We have a consumption tax. It works. You determine your own level of taxation by
the stuff you buy. How brilliant is that? And we've been talking about it for twenty two plus years on this show. Third part time Legislature. They come around now their meeting and they have committee meetings at different points of the year, but they're only doing the business of making laws and passing legislation for two months. We benefit from that. Other states the nation can learn from what Florida is doing. We are the ultimate Petri dish of how to
do things right. Tip of the cap some did you know it's next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I do what you're talking about. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Did you know we talked about Al Jazeera's partnership with Northwestern University and the School of Journalism there. Northwestern has a campus in Qatar, and I think the number is sixties seventies. Eighty percent of the guest lecturers on that campus hate Israel and spread propaganda anti Semitism and so
forth. Now we find out that a journalist for Al Jazeera, Abdallah al Jamal, a journalist with Al Jazeer z Era, was holding hostage Israelis in his home. He was killed in the rescue. The journalist Gaza based reporter and photojournalist. And I'm wondering, why in the world is Al Jazeera allowed in this country? Why would you allow a propaganda machine for terrorism to operate in your country, to have space on cable networks, to have space to
propagandize people in this country. That's it. Did you know? Did you know about that? Did you know about the journalist that in fact was holding hostages? Now he's with his virgins now Biden Harris regime shot down a twenty four billion dollar pay raise for enlisted troops after spending seven times that on Ukraine. I look at our enlisted the way that I now understand that we've watered down the enlisted. What we've done with going woke in the military has compromised
our fighting forces. There are some brave men and women serving and they're awesome, And there are people leading them that have no business leading them up the chain. Not many at the chain, but they're beholden to what people up the chain are telling them. They have to teach and have to do, and some of the courses these people are taking in the academies. And I mean, we're not preparing a fighting force. We're preparing people to argue for
inclusivity, equity. But to think that we have spent seven times more money sending it off to Ukraine than we were willing to spend paying the men and women still signing up to serve our country and defend it. Sweet God, forgive us unbelievable, just unbelievable. Tomorrow in the program, Jimmy Petrona's CFO for the state of Florida joins us, we'll have what's the bee if your calls we will not be doing the best and worst. I will not and
we won't have a good news segment because we'll have the CFO. He was available at eight thirty five, so a little shifting. But when I get a member of the Florida Cabinet available, boom, we're gonna We're gonna put him on the show because we are Florida centric and I feel as though there's a great responsibility on us to keep you aware of the things going on around you, where you live and where you call home. So that's tomorrow on the program. But we will do What's the Beef. We have a bunch
of other things. I'm debating on opening up the phone lines before What's the Beef and getting your thoughts on a couple of subjects, just kind of kind of weigh and measure that and kind of see where things are by the end of the day. Forty six minutes after the hour, one final segment to go here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, this segment would normally be in the first hour because it's an auction and you know my
obsession with auctions. But it's not there because I wrote in the rundown nope, this is it's an auction that I'm talking about. But nope, no, no, no, I hope no one buys it. It is it is, it's it's just well, let me just tell the story. January sixth, nineteen ninety four, Nancy Carrigan was assaulted after a practice session in the ninety four US Women's Figure Skating Championships. A dude named Shane stant took a baton and attacked her. The injuries cost her a chance to compete in
the event. She did recover in time to compete in the Olympics. I think she won a bronze medal, I want to say, but it was quickly determined by a lot of folks that Tanya Harding, who won that championship that that time, not the Olympic gold medal, the US Championship, that her husband at the time, Jeff Galuley, had planned the attack. And I think it was pretty much determined that that's exactly what happened. Harding claims
she knew nothing about it. Okay, Well, the outfit she wore on the ice the day after the attack and during the ninety four Olympics is up for auction. Leland Summer classic auction. Starting bid is three thousand. They think it'll sell from up to fifty. I'm saving this story because I'm hoping it doesn't sell even for three Do they think there's some figure skating super fan out there with a budget for that. The notorious nature of it being Tanya
Hardings and that people are obsessed with weirdness is what they hope. I hope it doesn't get three grand. I hope it just sits there. That's me though. I think Tanya Harding is a tacky, classless person, and I think she was absolutely involved in what happened to Nancy Kerrigan. But we'll see. I mean, people will buy anything, right, So who knows? Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the morning show on on WFLA. Time to look back at the program in one hundred and eighty seconds
or less. I talk to a loan Season ten winner, Alan Tento. I almost feel like just walking off the show right now, even now you have a big smile on your face. I just feel like there's nothing more I need to say. But I will, because that's what I do. I talk for a living Florida Governor Round de Sandis reduces Florida spending in a new budget, retains surplus key investments. Well done, Governator Florida. Florida's
showing how to run things. Fed Reserve illustrating that the federal government hasn't a clue. Interest rates remain at a twenty three year high. The Fed is not lowering rates. They can't. Inflation is still high, and the economy is well, they say, uncertain. Now the economy's trash. Argentina's president is figuring out ways to drain the swamp. Biden administration being pushed to revoke Al Jazeera credentials. How about we kick them out of the country, forget
credentials. Just you're out, boot him, put them on a plane one way. See you you want to this In response to learning that an Al Jazeera journalist had been holding hostages in Gaza, his terrorist Biden Harris regime shoots down twenty four billion dollar pay raise for enlisted troops after spending seven times that in Ukraine. BUCkies opens its largest store for ever, seventy five thousand square feet, one hundred and twenty gas pumps. And yes, we talked with
