Good day, friends, and welcome. Why did show with Preston Scott Show number fifty one, ninety day, twelve sixty five of America held hostage? I'm Preston. He's Jared the producer to be named later, standing by at some point thrown into the fire today? Are we throwing him in at some point today? I think the plan was to have him start the show, but we had some fires of our own to put out. Yes, wee.
Did you know? Dad used to say one day, I spent a week in Cleveland, And for those of you in Cleveland listening to the broadcast, I'm sorry about that. For those of you from Cleveland you fully understand. Anyway, welcome to the broadcast. We appreciate you joining us. Yeah, we we thankfully our our crack engineer. We're always on standby. You talk about a job I don't want being the engineer for twelve thirteen radio station. He's in central time, so when I called him at four thirty his
time, I'm sure that was not a fun phone call. And he gets them all the time because there's twelve or thirteen radio stations that at any given point can go south, something can go wrong, and we just had one of those glitches. My guess is there was a little power something in the last four days, a little while we were all on vacation and uh yeah, but anyway, all right, our verse today Psalm one thirty eight, Verse two. I bowed down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to
your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness. For you have exalted above all things, your name and your word. It's a good reminder, you know what. That's what I would characterize that scripture as putting first things first. It just it brings order, order and perspective. So that's how we'll start today. We of course have a sens of Thunder segment where we are
trying to raise up godly man. Although the advice can apply across the board, it really is geared towards poking you guys in the chest and saying, come on, come on, lift your game up, raise your game. Ten minutes past the hour today, Salnuzo with Consumers Defense joins us a lot of legislative things to talk about. Maybe look at some vetos. Some of the bills that now are law that are they're in twenty one facts. So Biden doesn't want you to know about. You heard me, oh Biden,
my musings of ordering a cheeseburger. It revealed so much. I know you can't wait. I don't blame you. Stick around. We got a Florida man. Not really it is, but it isn't so busy day. It's Monday. Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, decades of doing morning drive radio differently, doing it his way like old Blue Eyes, except he has a little more hair. The Morning Show with Preston Scott to pass the
hour. Tradition says that on July eighth, seventeen seventy six, to Liberdale, Liberty Bell rang from the tower of the Pennsylvania State House known as Independence All, as it summoned Philadelphians to hear Colonel John Nixon give the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. The Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the two thousand pound bell from London in seventeen fifty one, specifying that it bear an inscription from
the Bible proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. It's Leviticus twenty five to ten. It arrived in Philadelphia the next year, but cracked on its very first test, probably due to a flaw in its casting, so it was melted down and recast twice to make the new bell. Over the years, the bell rang often to call people for announcements and special
events. It peeled in seventeen sixty five for Philadelphians to discuss the Stamp Act in seventeen seventy four, for the First Continental Congress in seventeen seventy five, after the battles of Lexington and Concord. At some point, no one is s and when the bell cracked again on February twenty second, eighteen forty six, during a ringing for Washington's birthday, the crack grew so much the bell became unusable. It no longer rings, though on special occasions, such as
the fourth of July, it is gently tapped. On June sixth, nineteen forty four, when the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy, officials struck the bell and broadcast its tone across the nation. Today, the Liberty Bell sits near Independence Hall in a pavilion known as Liberty Bell Center. Lines from an old poem capture America's attachment to the venerable ie icon. The old bell is now silent and hushed its iron tongue, but the spirit it awakened still
lives forever. Young. Have you ever seen the bell in person? No, but I have seen the replica that they have at Disney World in front of the Hall of Presidents. There is something so remarkable about standing next. I mean you literally can stand right there next to the bell at the pavilion. That whole area is just incredible to be at and to know what happened. If you get the chance to ever do a history tour based on the
Revolutionary War, go do it. Do it so. The Liberty Bell rings for the first public reading of the Declaration on this date in seventeen seventy six. Eighteen fifty three, commodore Matthew Perry sales into Tokyo Bay seeking diplomatic trade relations between the United States and Japan. And they turned on us. But it's all fine. First issue of the Wall Street Journal published in eighteen eighty nine. Dal Jones industrial average falls to forty one twenty two, the lowest
during the Great Depression. On this date in nineteen thirty two, and in twenty eleven, Atlantis launched from Cape Canaveral, the last flight of the Space Shuttle program. Atlantis is on display at the Kennedy Space Center. That's another one. If you've not done the tour that takes you down to Atlantis and all that's there, you gotta do it. You got to do that.
See Floridians. We sometimes it's like a lot of places. A lot of New Yorkers have never seen the Statue of Liberty or gone to Ellis Island. They've never seen some of the iconic landmarks of the area, Philadelphians Independence Hall and so forth. If you've never been to Kennedy Space Center, go it is awesome, and especially take the bus ride the tour that takes you down to where Atlantis is because that display is incredible. It really really is.
All right, come back with well Leon County is having a contest, will explain, and I think they missed an opportunity plus ordering a cheeseburger. Yeah, sickrock. We la on your phone with the iHeart radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos. This is Chriser and Ihearts radiosas Leonte County is, unbeknownst to me, as a cute little mascot for its ems. It's a little bear. So they've got someone that walks around dressed as a bear. Now, my wife has always
wanted to be a mascot. She's always wanted to be in one of these big costumes. Like she would die if she had the opportunity to be Stuff the Magic Dragon in Florida summers. I don't know if she's too eager to do that. Well, see, she loves warmth, so you know, I'm just saying this would not be a thing that she would necessarily enjoy, though maybe she would, I don't know. But here's the thing. Tell me if you guys think I'm just like I think they missed an opportunity.
They're doing an online contest allowing Leon County residents to pick the name of the mascot. They've got Benji Benny and so it's a bear, Benji Benny, bo Sonny and Teddy. Why not Leon? It seems like the most obvious choice, Leon the County Bear. I mean, come on, this is as easy as it gets. So of course I wrote the County and I said, guys, guys, guys, come on, you're missing the low hanging fruit here. Benji the bear really your county It's it's it's not like
a latchua. I mean, no offense, but that Leon is a name. It just is. You've got to go with Leon, the county Bear. It's it's perfect. Anyway, last week I needed a quick little snack, and so I went to a a drive thru that's not in this area and I ordered it. Here's my order, a cheeseburger catchup and mustard only. I get my little sandwich because I just wanted a small little cheeseburger just to get tied me through. And I started to eat it as I'm driving
down the road, and what is there? Ketchup and mustard and no cheese. And I thought to myself, I didn't order a hamburger ketchup and mustard only. I ordered a cheeseburger ketchup and mustard only. A few observations. Number One, I'm now permanently scarred because for the rest of my life, here's what I'm gonna have to say. I'd like a cheeseburger ketchup and mustard only, please, And of course the cheese. I'd like the cheese on
the cheeseburger. Question one is this because workers today just aren't listening and struggle remembering. See, I think that's not the case in this situation because there was ketchuman mustard only. Is it a reflection of our public education system? I would like a cheeseburger, so fundamentally, I want a cheeseburger. Now, don't misunderstand. I didn't turn around, I didn't make a call. I didn't go back and asking them for a piece of cheese. Nah.
I okay, fine, I'll lead the burger. That's fine. But it got me thinking, are we just so lacking the ability to understand simple forms of communication like a cheeseburger with ketchum and mustard only? Please? Thank you? You know that was a cheese burger, not a hamburger with ketchum mustard on a cheeseburger. So fundamentally, if I say a hamburger, I don't unless it's a restaurant where I'm ordering hamburger and would you like cheese on that?
Yes? I would, thank you very much. It's no, no, this is a hamburger or a cheeseburger, cheese burger, and I would like just ketchup and mustard. Well, why don't you just tell them to no? No, no, no, no, every place does it differently. Wendy's puts mayonnaise on. So you then have to go about saying, well, what do you put on your hamburger every time? Because some put pickles, some put pickles and onions, some put pickles, onions, tomatoes
and lettuce. Some put none of those things. Some of them you have to. It's like, so cheeseburger, ketchum and mustard only please. In conclusion, these are some of the people that want twenty dollars an hour to screw up my order. See, Preston, you fell victim to the drive through paradox. If you check your order before you drive off, it's always going to be right. But if you don't check it, you got about
a fifty to fifty shot of it being screwed up somehow. Well, there there may be a hard and fast rule that's kind of like Murphy's rule, right, Murphy's law. But see there's Preston's corollary to Murphy's law. Murphy was an optimist. Twenty seven minutes after the hour true. It's true Stories in the press box the fastest three hours in media. And don't be surprised if you have a chuckle here and there just like that. Thanks for listening.
It's the Morning Show's gone thirty six minutes after the hour. Monday on the Morning Showed July the eighth, Hope you had a nice four day weekend. I learned once again that a sunburn can be had through a shirt. Yeah, my sweet wife and I spent most of Saturday pressure cleaning our driveway. And we have a long driveway, and so between the driveway and the front sidewalk it takes a little bit like, oh, I don't know, it's seven hours. But it was complicated. It was complicated by the fact
that my pressure washer quit. The motor seized and I could not I couldn't even try to turn it over. It had completely seized, which surprised me because I protect my equipment. But anyway, it just it lasted five or seven years, so whatever. So I had to get another one, and I decided to instead of going with a gas powered one, go with an electric one that you plug in, because I don't like stopping and refueling and
going through the startup process of a gas powered pressure washer. So since you've got hoses all over the place, what's another cord? So I went, I want electric, but it was three hundred pounds less PSI than my old one, and that three hundred pounds mattered. So it just takes longer. No big deal, worst thing that happened, but I got scorched being out in the sun all day, and so I've got more fun to look towards this week, finishing the job. Big stories in the press box, not
a lot of people talking about this. And I'm surprised. The UK held elections and the lefts, the Lefties took absolute over in the UK, the Labor Party. We'll see where how this sentiment takes hold. The new Prime Minister is Keir Starmer. He's now the Prime Minister after elections. He had his visit with King Chuck and it was a landslide win for the Labor Party. The Tories have the lowest number in history. Conservatives got their hands slapped.
I think this is bad news for everything in Europe because the UK had been stopping a lot of the stuff inside the World Health Organization, a lot of the treaties were stopping there. They of course they left the European Union, which was good. We'll see where this goes. I have grave concerns about where the UK now is going to head because so many seats. I mean, we'll break down the numbers a little bit more in a minute.
Joe Biden Democrats are now openly having meetings discussing how to get him to step down because he won't do it. One of the rumors floating around is that is that Kamala will take over and Gavin Newsom will be the vice presidential nominee with Kamala. And one final note here really important if you are a chia seed eater or you cook with chia seeds or put them in your in your smoothies. Great value organic black chia seeds the thirty two ounce bag. There
is a nationwide recall. It is now classified as a Class one, which is the highest risk given by the FDA. And so these were put out nationwide by Walmart great value as Walmart, and the products have a lot number ending in C zero one eight and expiration date of October thirtieth, twenty twenty six. If you've got any with a lot number of see zero one to eight. Pitch them out or take them back if you've got your receipts and all that stuff, but pitch them out. We're talking a high level risk
of salmonilla. All right, forty one past the hour, Morning Show with Preston Scott. The questions you want the answers to the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven Double U f l A. Forty two minutes after the hour. I'm Preston, He's Jared. That's a producer to be named later. Just getting getting getting dialed in on things. We've
had a morning, We've we've we've had a morning. But but my heartfelt thanks to our engineer Charlie who throughout throughout a lifeboat and uh pushed it right off the edge of the deck of the ship and got us, got us safely out of the water. A couple did you knows? We have been tracking the litany of problems with evs. Are you ready for the newest one? The newest problem with electrical vehicles is being revealed in of all places,
Seattle. No way, you mean defund the police? Seattle like defund the police. Portland like to fund the police. California like to fund the police, Illinois, like to fund the police. Baltimore. Yeah, defund the police. Seattle has a new problem for evs. You know, what that is All of the public chargers are getting destroyed. Why what's inside the wiring? The cables that EVE chargers use copper, and the black market price for
copper right now is massive. You may recall that in recent years, air conditioning systems in people's homes have been targeted by thieves looking to get copper so they can sell it for scrap because black market copper is so big, and so it is. I mean, they're calling it an epidemic. See, a lot of people don't have the money. Here's a hint. A lot of people don't have the money to spend after they buy an EV to put
in the required electrical support for a charging station. That's worth a darn because you have to upgrade your panel and you have to have a certain level of service to put in a charger at home. So a lot of people are relying on public chargers. Now, imagine if better than a hundred public chargers in the Seattle area are now rendered non operational because the coppers being stolen from the charging cables. So they're just they're they they can't work, they don't
have them, they're gone. Add it to the list of reasons why electrical vehicles are just not happening. And then this federal court has blocked in two more states the expansion of Title nine. How quickly before we get this to the US Supreme Court and settle this. Don't be cowards. Justices, take the case and settle it. I want to get to one line though US
District Judge Jeremy Kernodle. When Congress enacted the ACA and twenty ten, no agency or court had ever interpreted on the basis of sex to mean on the basis of gender identity. But in twenty sixteen, the Department of Health and Human Services began to do so, issuing a rule purporting to implement Section fifteen fifty seven prohibiting discriminate on the basis of gender identity. In other words, the judge said, you don't have that authority. You can't just rewrite the
law and redefine things on your own whims. So this expands now these rulings to two more states, which brings sanity to two more stags and an end to Title nine expansion in two more states. We just have to now wait for the US Supreme Court come back. Gannett has made an interesting offer still growing so please tell a friend all what three four, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio double
UFLA Panama City dot com. We have a really cool audience. This radio program spans every type of person that makes up our culture. We have all different kinds of philosophies. Yeah, there's a bunch of people that don't agree with my personal philosophy but still enjoy listening to the program because we nudge them and because we talk about things that aren't political at all, although the poison that exudes from the political arena is infecting and causing a level of toxicity in
more things, for example, the media. And among the listeners of this program are people who have worked in the mainstream media, people that have worked at television outlets, radio outlets, and newspaper outlets, and some of them even worked for gannet. And so one of my regular contributors, who I will not I will not out him, but a great encourager on this program
and has been for many many years, sent me this story. The Arizona Republic, a gannet paper, and most, if not all gannet papers outlets some two hundred across the country offered a special through the holiday week. You ready see if you pick up on this choose your plan. You can do an essential digital package for nine nine for one year unlimited access to the Republic, you know, the Arizona Republic website, year round. It's all digital,
all online. The other offer Sunday plus ninety two cents per week, where you get sorry, it's ninety two cents per week for the first three months, but you get Sunday and Wednesday print editions and everything else is digital. The question becomes, is Gannett now testing the water now? Gannett's media people said, Hey, don't read anything into that. We're not stopping printing.
Are you sure about that? The thought inside the article, which is found on pointer p O y nt er period, is that Gannett is testing the water to limit the print and that the days of printing a newspaper seven days a week are pretty much in the rearview mirror, and so they're they're gonna they're gonna test the waters and see how many people want a Sunday and Wednesday edition. Have you seen a Sunday edition of a newspaper these days?
Friends, do you realize what you're not getting for what you're paying for. The newspaper industry has failed to two ways. First, they did not anticipate the online era. They just they got behind the eight ball. See the company we work for, clear Channel now iHeart. They got ahead of it. They got ahead of the online thing. And radio still remains a dominant, if not the dominant player in media. People still rely on their radio
because it's free. There's no subscriptions. If you do the subscription radio thing, that's fine if that's your thing, but you don't have to do that. The other thing that the mainstream media completely missed is their bias. Their bias has cost them The people most likely to subscribe to newspapers because they want straightforward, unbiased news reporting. Those are the people with the most amount of discretionary income to spend on a newspaper subscription. But alas that ship is sailed.
Time for hour number two of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Our number two Morning Show with Crustin Scott, Morning Friends, Monday July the eight. Hope you had a nice long weekend, those of you that got to enjoy it. Florida Man sort of in a little bit. Got a Sons of Thunder segment coming up this hour. But first this for Michael Snyder.
Twenty one facts that Joe Biden does not want you to know. It is really important that no matter what happens in the next ninety days or less, because I suspect by the end of August there will be a dramatic shakeup on the Democrat side of the ticket. I'm standing by what I've said at the very beginning. Joe Biden will not be the nominee for president in twenty twenty four. Now, Joe is going going to fight as he goes down,
but he's they there's just not a chance. Now. I don't know all of the mechanations involved and how states will have to adjust as Democrats try to kick Joe out and off the ticket. But no matter what, this is a this is a Democrat owned economy, border policies, the list goes on and on. This is not just Joe Biden. Joe Biden is the unfortunate tip of that particular spear. But these are Democrat policies and these are twenty
one facts that they don't want you to know. Remember, Joe Biden put in inflation got it going on steroids, but Democrats passed things that sped it along. Right now, it takes a typical US household just under eleven hundred dollars a month to purchase the same goods and services it did three years ago. Two thirds of the respondents of one recent survey indicated they had to take action to deal with rising financial stress within the past year, cutting back on
spending, skipping monthly bills, taking an additional job. People are having to do things because of the inflation. Home insurance rates have risen thirty eight percent since twenty nineteen, higher in some areas. Home rental prices are up thirty percent since Joe entered the White House. Sixty one percent of US renters cannot afford the rent on a median priced apartment in the US right now, sixty
percent of renters Gasoline prices are up forty six percent. Since Joe signed the executive order on the day he took office killing the Keystone XL pipeline, gas prices are up nearly fifty percent. The average rate on a fixed mortgage is up one hundred and forty eight percent since Joe became resident. According to Zillo, the monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in this country has almost doubled. In one recent poll, forty four percent of retired Americans are considering going
back to war because the cost of living is so oppressive. Nearly half of retired Americans. What's that going to do to the job market? New home
sales fell eleven point three percent last month. You know what follows when home sales are declining, Home prices fall, valuations fall, which means what all the cities, counties, municipalities that rely on property taxes will have to raise their millage, so you'll have the same amount money taken out, but you won't have nearly as much money to spend on the things that are up in price. Anyway, it just spirals all at the hands of Joe Biden and
Democrats in Congress. Ten minutes and some Republicans who helped carry the load back with more. Welcome to m a d Radio Network. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We haven't passed the hour going through Michael Snyder's list of twenty one different facts that Joe doesn't want you to know. The mainstream media they're now in a total free for all panic. They've spent the last three years telling us Joe's fine when his cognitive decline was clear in the campaign trail,
but rest assured Joe's not been the one making the decisions anyway. This is the O Biden administration. I know that some think, oh, Susan Brian sold this person of that person, Barack Obama. All of the policies can be traced back to speeches that Barack Obama has given and things that he has expressed that he has written about that he wanted to do in this country.
This is the third term of Barack Obama, and we're counting down the twenty one things that Snyder lists, mentioning that home sales fell eleven point three percent last month, but pending home sales are dropping at the fastest rate ever recorded. That means fewer and fewer people are even stepping up to try to buy. According to the House Budget Committee, there have been more than eight million migrant encounters nationwide while Joe has been the resident. That number is modest
by some estimates, it's eleven million. Thanks to the immigration crisis. Homeless population in the city of Chicago tripled in one year, tripled murder rates are up by double digit percentages in many major US cities this year, continuing jobless claims shot up to the highest level in almost three years. The number of job openings in the United States has dropped to its lowest level in more than
three years. See, businesses are adapting. We're pricing employees out because of the demands of minimum wage requirements, and so more and more employers are going, well, if I've got to pay that, if I've got to pay twenty dollars an hour for someone to work a fast food line, I might as well automate it because I don't have all the associated costs. I don't have scheduling issues. I don't have staff issues when it comes to people getting
along. I don't have issues of efficiency because they don't take breaks, they don't look at their phone, and if it breaks down, I call a repairman. I don't worry about social Security, I don't worry about healthcare benefits. I don't have to worry about any of that stuff. Why am I going to pay twenty dollars an hour and have all of those worries? Right A just announced it will be closing twenty seven more stores on top of the
five hundred. It's already shut down Walgreens closing one fourth of its eighty six hundred stores. If the economy's booming, our stores closing down like this, I mean these kinds of stores. Twenty percent of the entire population of the state of California is living in poverty. Forty six percent of Americans don't even have five one hundred dollars saved up, according to one survey. And lastly, the US has spent a total of one hundred and seventy five billion dollars
on the war in Ukraine and the Russians are still winning. And how long before all those armaments end up costing US entry into that war? Sixteen minutes after the hour we come back a Florida Man kind of story FLA at wfla fam dot com, on your phone with the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos, and Iheart's radio station, the Mad Radio Network, giving you an opportunity to make a difference in the next half hour, not this half hour, but the next half
hour. And this is for all of you in the Tallahassee and Panama City listening areas. So a little teaser that's coming up in just a few minutes here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. However, we are now at that point in the broadcast where it's time come on friends, let's all sing along. Well, if you read something insane, I probably did it. I'm fat of wood. The block is go ahead and google my name. Well wait a minute, this really isn't a Florida Man story. But it
is. The listener sent this to me, the research assistant that pointed it out. It's a story from Late Lake, a town about fifty miles north of Orlando. Now, normally my criteria for Florida Man is it's got to be one of those stories that makes me go, oh my gosh, or you kidd me, or makes me laugh out loud. This one, when I read it, hit me very differently. See what you think, and
that's why I'm not calling this a Florida Man story. Michael Patrick Fleming, forty one, walked into a Chase bank, gave the teller a note asking for a penny, filled out a withdrawal slip for one penny. He's not a customer of the bank. After being denied, he said, quoting so you want me to say the other word. The teller was in fear that possible violence was imminent. Notified law enforce Horsement police showed up. He was sitting there waiting. He confirmed everything. He said, yeah, that's what
I did. He said, most of the time, the way tellers are trained, if someone comes up to rob you, you give them the money and let them go. He was expecting the teller to give him one penny and then he was going to this is him. I was going to sit in the chair and wait for law enforcement. It worked. Jailed for felony robbery, locked up in lieu of a five thousand dollars bond. Here's where the story twisted for me. He has no criminal record. He lost his
apartment a month ago because he couldn't afford the rent. This guy decided he's better off in jail, having shelter and meals than trying to sort this all out. Well, on one hand, it would be easy to say, come on, loser, pick yourself up, let's go right, it would, but this story hit me very differently. I'm looking at this guy and I'm thinking, no criminal record at all, was paying nine hundred dollars a month for his apartment and he can't afford it. He had no gun,
he threatened, no violence, He asked for one penny. This is a guy making a desperate plea in a desperate situation. I'm not excusing it, mind you at all. I'm pointing out these are the consequences of where we are in our society. That's why I couldn't turn this into a Florida man story. I couldn't do it. Now, Jared did that. Now hearing the whole story, you see why I couldn't let it go as a Florida man story. Yeah, Florida man stories are generally a little bit more whimsical.
We can make fun of the people. Yeah, this one, this one tell he's on your heartstrings a little bit. Uh. I hate that he felt like that was his only recourse because there are ways to get help, even if you don't have friends or family necessarily, there are ways to get help from your city, your state, the government to help you out exact position. And Florida has an incredible program, the Hope Florida Program.
But problem is it takes time. And yeah, you need to you need to be looking ahead and saying you know, I've got a problem coming my way, and I don't, you know, do you double down, triple down? Maybe I don't know how many jobs he had has I don't. I don't know any of that. It's not in the booking report. I just look at this story and I see the sim victims of what a crappy economy we have. The mistake Floridians many of you made voting for the minimum
wage amendment because the minimum wage amendment hurt the people. Didn't help the people you were trying to help. It hurt them. It cost them jobs, It costs them more opportunities because a worker that's got to pay, an employer that's got to pay twenty dollars an hour is going to hire a higher skilled, better worker than the entry level or lower skilled worker. It just are
they got to pay that. And granted, Florida's not at twenty dollars an hour yet, but that's where we're going, and the cause and effect is still the same. You know the old expression a rising tide lifts all boats. There's an inversion of that, A sinking tide sinks all ships. And that's what we have right now. And I look at this guy and I'm thinking, no, criminal record. Honestly, my heart breaks for this guy. Yes, there are ways around this, there are ways out of this,
but sometimes people just get overwhelmed. They just do anyway, just a different take on the story than what maybe the research assistant thought I was going to take twenty seven minutes past the hour Surprise show with Preston Scott. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time on news Radio one hundred point seven DOUBLEUFLA thirty six minutes after the hour. I'm Preston producer to be named later and jareded in Studio one A Great to be with You Show fifty one
to ninety Big Stories in the press Box. Normally, I can safely say this is the first time in five one hundred and ninety shows I've ever had chia seeds in the Big Stories in the press Box. Here's why the FDA has done a Class one, which is the highest risk level recall of great value organic black chia seeds thirty two ounce bags sold at Walmart's nationwide. If you have these and the lot number on the bag ends in C zero one point eight, pitch them or take them back, but do not consume them.
This is a high risk level recall. But I'd like to point out the FDA first announced a problem on May thirteenth and didn't issue the recall until the end of June. Huh. Class one means a situation in which there isn't a there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. And they waited forty five days. The FDA is not helping itself or its reputation with this,
but we are trying to help you stay alive. So if you have the chia seeds again great value. That's a Walmart brand, as most of you know, thirty two ounce black chia seeds lot number see zero one eight at the end of the lot number out get rid of them. UK new prime minister, new government and it has gone way left. Isn't it interesting? Most of Europe has gone to the right, has gone conservative in recent elections, the UK goes left. What's that about. Got to talk to Justin
Haskins tomorrow about this. Kerr Starmer, head of the Labor Party is now the Prime minister, he said, Country First Party second, We'll see, We'll see the Labor Party just just some context here, one four hundred and twelve seats. Interestingly, the Tories in nineteen ninety seven had one hundred and sixty five eats. The worst for the Conservative Party was nineteen oh six,
when they won just one hundred and fifty six. On July fourth, ironic date for elections, when the United States declares its independents they hold their elections. How interesting, one hundred and twenty one seats, the lowest ever. Now, some say that the Reform UK Party took ninety eight seats and is the reason why the number is that low. The Reform Party won seats with Nigel Ferrage Farage if you will, in that he is a noted conservative.
And then, lastly, the final big story, Democrats are meeting. Those meetings started yesterday afternoon and are continuing trying to figure out a way to get Joe to quit exit the race. One rumor out there is that they're going to elevate Kamala with Gavin Newsom as the vice president. Forty minutes past the hour, Come back with a Way for You to Make a Difference thing show
with Preston Scott on news Radio one point SEVENBUFLA. Fox News got some leaked photos White House insiders leaking out all kinds of dirt on Joe and his cognitive decline. They're printing large photos for him with directions on how to find the podium in different places where he's speaking, they take pictures of him, showing him where to walk and where to go what he'll see, so when he sees it, it says, for example, walk to podium and here's how
you get there. Walk to podium, and then a picture of his entrance. This is horrifying. This isn't This is not funny at all at this point. Anyway, when I started the program, I used to end the show every day with make a Difference. That was just a personal challenge that I tried to offer. Over the years, we stopped saying it and started doing it because we realized that the platform that God has blessed us with on this show was such that we could actually marshal the collective force of so many
people and do just that make a difference. And so, whether it's scholarship funds to help people working their way through school, our scholarship, but tallhassee State College is unique to any other scholarship. There's no other scholarship like it. They've got all kinds of scholarships, but ours is designed for people who are working their way through school. We did that because those are the people that don't qualify for a pelgrim because they're working and they're they're they're no they
have no interest in going into debt. They're working, and I think those are the type of people you want to hire. So we help people like that. We give out scholarships. We have no say in anything but the criteria. We've put water towers in places around the world. We've we've sunk wells in Cambodia and put plumbing in a village that's never had water. We've
given different things to different peoples around the world. You know, we help build a home for orphans, not an orphanage, a home for orphans. They'll live their life there, raised by mom and dad that have adopted these eight little girls. And we raised the money to build the home and to fund it monthly. And then we've done all kinds of other things along the
way, and helped restaurants during COVID. And we've got another opportunity here, and I'm going to credit Jared for bringing this idea Jared, what inspired you to do to talk about this? Well, I can't take one hundred percent credit for it. It is something that I've done in the past in different jobs I had. During the summer. As you know, it's very hot here in Florida, yep. And some of our most vulnerable residents are our
seniors, and especially seniors who have a limited budget. A lot of the times in the summer they have to choose between paying their bills, paying medication, paying food, and a lot of the times they choose not to run their air conditioning to save on their utilities, and they choose to suffer through the heat. And nobody should have to deal with that, let alone. Our most vulnerable citizens are seniors, right, So we're asking you to consider
donating a brand new box fan. We have teamed up with Elder Care Services in Tallahassee and the Bay County Council on Aging in Panama City. We'll put specific details up on our Twitter page x and on my blog page in the coming days, but we're asking you these costs between twenty and twenty five bucks. Now, you can make a donation for a box fan to either of those organizations. Don't give us the money, but if you want to,
you know, give them a check. That's what it would cost. But we're going to be opening up the doors once a week at both of our locations. One one here in Tallahassee one in Panama City. If you want to bring a box fan to us, you can look up the address. But the bottom line is from noon to five local time on Wednesday in either market you can bring a brand new box fan and they will be delivered to senior adults that need them. All right, So if you want to help,
that's our starting point. We'll talk more about this in the coming days and the weeks ahead and in the years ahead. We'll do this in May, but this is it's going to be hot here for a while, so this is going to be useful till at least October, the end of the month of October. So if you can help out box fans, my friends, box fans brand new ones, and we'll tell you again where to bring
them throughout the show. But you bring them to either location on Wednesday from noon to five local time, and you can make a difference in a very simple way. Forty seven minutes after the hour, come back with our sons of thunder segment of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Some sen say of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, fellas, if you're gonna claim to be a follower of
Christ, time to act like it. Time to live like it. Not just act like it, live like it, speak like it. We've talked about out of the abundance of the heart, that's what comes out of your mouth. If your mouth is full of profanities, you're programming yourself with the wrong stuff. I'm just telling you. And so we're dealing with the character traits needed to be a godly man. We're doing a teaching series in our church on first and second Kings, and we were in Secon First Kings two
yesterday and at the beginning it says this. When David's time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon, his son, saying I'm about to go the way of all the earth, be strong and show yourself a man. Let me pause there for just a second. As as as our pastor Marshall Hoaks said, he wasn't talking about show yourself a man versus show yourself a woman. This wasn't like a some gender question here. That's not that's not what
this was about. He then identifies some traits and some characteristics of being a man, and this actually dovetails to our segments on a manly minute, right, And it goes on to say, David, here on his deathbed, keep the charge of the Lord, your God, walking in his ways, keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, and you may prosper in all that
you do and wherever you turn. Now, there's an interesting thing about that word prosper, because the word prosper is a word that means a lot of different things in Hebrew. In fact, Marshall pointed out that the entire Old Testament the Hebrew language used two thousand words because that's all it had, because words in Hebrew have multiple meanings. Think about this for a second. Two thousand words were used to write the entire Old Testament. We have one hundred
and seventy thousand in English. The word prosper in Hebrew culture can mean wisdom, success, It can mean a lot of different things. And so as a result, when David is telling Solomon. If you do these things, you will prosper. He's talking about, You're gonna have wisdom, You're gonna have knowledge, You'll have the courage that you need. And so, my friends, the advice that David gives Solomon, men, this is the advice God's giving you and me. Be strong and show yourself a man. How
do you show yourself a man? Walking in God's ways, keeping his statutes, his commands, his rules, his testimonies. Those are the keys walk in that don't play the part On Sunday Live It seven days a week. Transformation in this country is going to come from men and women stepping up and instead of just claiming to be a Christian, being a Christian, not just
acting like one, living like one. Hour three is next to the Morning Show with Preston Scott Salnuzzo's standing by Hey, here we go five past the hour. It is the third hour, literally turning the page on the rundown. Here the Morning Show with Prustin Scott's it is July the eighth, the producer to be named later and Jared over there in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B and I am joined by our good friend from Consumers Defense sal News. Oh, hello, good morning to you. How are
you. I'm doing great? How about you? Good? Good, good good. This is a this is a weird post session to me. It just seems different because of the the amount of consequential stuff that's coming out. Not only that, I think he signed the budget and what I've viewed is a bit of a later date than what he's done in prior years. There have been more vetos of legislation, including some at the tail end of the fiscal year that you know, arguably are you know, things of consequence that
he went one way or another on. So so, yeah, I think it's a little bit of a of a different kind of perspective than prior years. Being as objective as we can be, where there's certain counties that really got ham word and was it strictly for budgetary reasons or is there any ideology to any of it? Well, I did take a look and looked at the research. There were four counties around the state that fared the worst by
far in the budget Veto list. You've got a Scambia county out on the Panhandle fifty five million dollars in Veto's Flagler County over on the Atlantic Coast forty seven million. You've got Miami Dade forty eight million, and Lee County, which is Fort Myer's forty two million. Everywhere else was pretty much in the twenties to below. Those stood out. I tried to look and see if there was some kind of consistency. Was it university related, was it general
services related? Could not find any kind of rhyme or reason to it. It very well could have just been that those counties had specific projects in there that the governor and his staff as they were going through it just decided and it just shaped out like that, take me through best you can, and just a sixty second overview of the process itself. I can't imagine. Is
the budget broken down by the governor's staff. For example, he has certain people looking at these types of items, certain people those and then they make recommendations, kind of walk us through how that would work. Sure, and you're exactly right. The governor has the Office of Policy and Budget. Up
until recently, Chris Spencer was the head of it. He's now moved over to run the Florida Retirement System. They have a staff underneath that have specific agencies, specific topics and policy areas assigned to them, and a lot of times they come from specific agencies. So someone who is over at the Department of Agriculture moves over to OPB and now they're doing agri agricultural budget items. They will make recommendations. Those run up to tain. Likely the final recommendation
list is signed off by the Chief of Staff James Upmeyer. It goes to the governor. All kind of commiserate that process is actually going on, probably even during the session. So the governor gets recommendations, does he pretty much follow them that? I don't know. That's a very closed door process of that should be. They have to be free to go out on a limb and make specific recommendations. The governor may or may not accept them. You
know. I trust that process very well. It's done Florida well over the last several gubernatorial terms. The two specific vetos that you wanted to draw attention to, yeah, there was a couple that I wanted to draw attention to. One was a veto of about ninety million dollars in grant funded programs for art and cultural initiatives. Now it's getting a lot of attention because it basically
it zeroed out all of that type of funding in the state budget. And it's really the first time something like this has been as comprehensive in its effect that I've looked back at versus try to kind of be more surgical and well, we're not a fan of what these specific programs are doing versus these But in his proposed funding for twenty twenty four to twenty five, his proposed budget that he sent to the legislature before they took it up, he had no
line items in there for arts and cultural and that was different than prior year, So it could have just been a hey, we're going to take a stand on this this year and we're going to go at it. The other was about fifty six million in line item for Legislative support services. Now these are the staff ops workers the committees. Many are speculating that the reason is that within that line item there was a rather controversial study regarding bank fee bank
fee transactions. It had become a bit of a lightning rod. There was some proposed legislation, then it got tucked into this study that got placed in a light on it kind of hidden. The challenge was it was included in that fifty six million dollar appropriation. It wasn't on its own, so we
couldn't just veto that study. And they're already talking about can they remedy this because the support staff for the legislature really relies on that funding year and year out, especially in the off season, to do a lot of the work that they do. Speaking of vetos, a few more this legislative session than normally come from the Governor's desk. We'll talk about some of those next subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're here to make it all
better. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Back with Sale Neuzzo of Consumers Defense website Consumers Defense dot com. You can learn more about what he
does as executive director and what they do as a group nationwide. Some vetos and you and I talked and texted back and forth and shot a few emails back and forth on a few that I mean, I actually scratched my head on a few of these, but go ahead, Yeah, definitely there were more vetos this year than prior years, and a few of them were notable. I'll run through them and kind of give you my take on them. HB. One thirty three. This was the licensing reform for cosmotologists and barbers.
It was considered a criminal justice public safety reform bill because what it would have done was limit the time period that a prior conviction could be used to deny someone a license as an applicant. So you spent time in prison fifteen years ago, Now you're going to barber school. You want to become barber. That conviction fifteen years ago could not be used. Now you could be denied for other reasons, but that couldn't be used. So he vetoed that
bill. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna say I agree with our governor probably about ninety seven percent of the time. This one definitely falls in the three percent realm. Now, since this past committees unanimously and both chambers not a single no vote at all anywhere, what triggers then the decision to call a session to override the veto Well, they can call a special session to consider overrides. It would be done by the presiding officers, or they could pull the
members and then the members can push it up to the presiding officers. Are the presiding officers, the new Speaker and Senate President or the old the old the current ones. The new presiding officers do not take their positions until after November's elections. Okay, So, and for what it's worth, I've not heard any discussion about calling in to potentially override you. Surprised, not surprised. It surprises me when they're unanimous like this and they passed with such overwhelming
numbers. There have been a couple of bills in prior sessions related to public safety, notably the expunction bill from a couple sessions ago. Sure where it's been unanimous. He vetoted it, that came back and redid it. There may be something in the language. It just needs to be tweaked. My
guess is they may try to change it or alter it slightly. Another bill, Senate Bill sixty two, It would have allowed for those who are incarcerated in Florida, as long as they are residents of the state otherwise, to receive in state tuition if they choose to attend a university while they're in prison.
Again, this one's a bit counterintuitive to me because as a long game kind of person that I look at things, the one thing we want individuals to do while they are incarcerated is benefit themselves to become better productive, tax paying citizens when they get out. And so this one's a bit of a head scratcher to me as well. What puzzled me about this veto is this governor and legislature have been remarkably forward thinking as it relates to funding programming.
Yeah, and in his veto letter he said that a person who is incarcerated should not get a benefit as opposed to someone from out of state who is not incarcerated, that they shouldn't get. And so in one sense I understand his thinking, and it's a little bit consistent with his principles on making sure that you know, he is considered strong on crime or not soft on crime. So but again it's one of those head scratchers. I'm not sure if
I were in his position, I would have vetoed it. But you know, there it is lightning rod On the final veto sure Senate Bill two would have preempted local governments from inhibiting construction of farm worker housing on agricultural land. It was backed by ag industries. They were in favor of a affordable housing solutions. He vetoed it because of a feeling that it could lead to illegal immigrants or aliens who were working in agriculture getting those homes. The other one
was Senate Bill to eighty. It was passed by the legislature on short term vacation rental preemption. In his veto letter, he stated vacation rentals should not be approached as a one size fits all. He wants the locals to develop their own regulations on that. And lastly, the one he did sign was Senate Bill sixteen hundred. It was the Interstate Mobility Act streamline process for state licenses. It included some in the medical profession, and the Board of Medicine
in Florida was actively encouraging him to veto it. He did sign that, which, along with seventy sixteen on foreign trained Practitioners, is going to help to address the supply of doctors and nurses and what have you in the state. All right, back with more with Sal Newzo Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We f LRA on your phone with the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox and Sonos and Ihearts
Radio station. Back with Sal Neuso Consumer's Defense and we're already looking ahead. Sure, I've already got a working list on things that I think the legislature needs to tackle. But as do I Okay, yep, so what's being teed up already, you think? Well, so bear in mind that after the November elections, we will have new presiding officers and new Seaker of the House, Danny Perez from down in the Miami area. Senate President Ben Albritton.
I think he's in the central Florida area. I can't remember. The Republicans, both Republicans, both very conservative Republicans. I've gotten to know both of them over the course of their terms. I think a few things that they're going to have to continue to navigate. One is the property insurance and potentially auto insurance markets. We had in twenty twenty three's session a transformational tort reform package that, while we have all acknowledged, will take some time to
work through a cycle or two a premium setting. That cycle has come, and so the question is do rates stabilize and if not, what more could potentially the legislature address. Now there's a number of things in there too, toolbox they could discern, And I heard Senate President Pasadomo talk about her concern
that we've given insurance companies everything that they asked for to address litigation. Now, let's see what happens and if not, then you do they come back and potentially start looking at the practices and policies of what insurance companies and policyholders are doing. How do they continue to minimize the size of citizens and the cat fund? What is the reinsurance market looking like? All of those are
going to be dynamic situations as we get through this hurricane season. Depending on what happens in Florida, you could have some scenarios that they're going to have to address early on in their term. Another one I think you're going to have to continue to examine as the healthcare issue in the state. I looked at the numbers Florida as of the last census numbers, Florida again led the nation, and in migration it was something like two hundred and forty some thousand
people moved to the state on net. That is the net of people moving in minus the ones moving out. So that's a huge kind of strain on an already strained healthcare system. Do we know why people are moving out? Oh? I mean, there's all is there exit data oh on why people are moving out. My guess is a little bit of a heat issue. Maybe the case. I don't know. It's one where we're doing and other folks are doing a lot of survey work on why people come into the state.
That data or easy to gather. I'm not as sure as to why people move out. Now, you could have a chunk of these figures that are individuals who maybe aren't necessarily moving completely out, but their residence is less than six months in a day, so they're still maybe residing in the state for a good chunk of the time, but because of that residency required,
they're counted as moving out of the state. But we're still seeing a mass shortage in providers in the healthcare system that we hope will begin to be remedied by a lot of the legislation that the legislature passed and the governor signed over the last two sessions. But we're talking we're probably short twenty thousand primary care
physicians over the next ten to fifteen years given those population trends. Now, when you combine that with the age demographic of Floridians, we are either the first or second oldest state usually with Arizona or Nevada as where we usually compete with on that and so that's an issue where they're going to have to continue to figure out how to increase the supply there. It's gonna have an impact what he's done. I'm just waiting to see a special with recruiting in that's
going to be largely addressed. The thing that we need to be doing more of is growing our own We need more medical training programs in the state, we need more medical residency slots in the state. All of that is something that I know the Senate President Pasadomo was taking up. We're just going to have to see how it flushes out and what the next presiding officers take on. More Salmuso after the News Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott for
the days when times were good and life was simple. He still lives there. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA thirty six minutes past the hour of Salmuso The James Madison Institute formally, for those of you that have missed the last few months, he's now with consumers
to answer, is the executive director remind everybody what you do. Sure Consumers Defense is a nonprofit policy and advocacy organization working around the country to combat the left, mainly in the area of ESG policy, so environmental social governance. It's kind of a broad umbrella term. I liken to cancer. There's a lot of different types of cancers. Eventually they all kill you. ESG is the same. You've got things like the net zero energy issues, You've got
DEI and the issues surrounding a lot of what Floridas tackled. We're ahead of the game. Many states are having a lot of trouble with things along those lines. And then there's this one out here in the G the governance that most people don't know about. That on a future one, I'd love to dive into how the way that publicly traded companies are managed by large asset managers and the governance structure of those they're trying and in some cases are successful at
inflicting upon states and people the Left's agenda without doing it through policy. And that's one of the more frightening ones because it flies under the radar. Well. Now, as we talked about with Justin Haskins, who oh by the way, we'll be back with us tomorrow. What they're doing in Europe to force American companies in a backhanded way to adopt these policies or else they can't do businesses exactly. And it's because the European Union is largely a very left
leaning governing body. They are kind of the canary in the coal mine for a lot of what we're seeing being attempted in states. And that's where why I often say the state is where the policy action is. Big asset managers and the radical left are not getting anything through the Congress. So what they're trying to do is say, okay, well, we'll believe in federalism just like you do. We're gonna go and have fifty state strategies and try toccomplish
what we can. And some of it's above the radar and legislatively we battle, and in other cases it's behind the scenes. Yes, and it's insidious, and yes, exactly. All right. We've got some ballot initiatives that we're going to see on the November ballot, and I'm not sure that anyone knows about any of them except two. Yeah, so there are six. Now, if you would like a quick civics test or lesson. Florida has more ways to amend its constitution than any other state. I believe there's like
six or seven ways. Not idea, not a great idea I am a fan of. If it is not something that shouldn't be in the governing document, it shouldn't be in the governing document. If the legislature can take it
up, they should be the ones deciding. But we have six amendments and these are either been put on by the legislature where they cannot do it statutorily, it has to go onto a ballot amendment and so they on it, or a couple that are citizen initiatives where the signatures have been gathered and then gone before the Supreme Court and now we're going to vote on them. Each of these require sixty percent to pass and then they get placed in the constitution.
Number one is a partisan elections for school board members and so that's Amendment one. Currently school board races are nonpartisan. If this amendment were to pass, then the individuals who are running would have to list their party affiliation. Before we take a break real quickly, what are the pros and cons on this one? One is? I think largely school board races are partisan by
default in the local community generally vote it's partisan pretty much. Yeah, and you generally know, if you're paying attention who's conservative, who's left leaning. The con is, you know, there's a lot of consternation about further politicizing certain things. But at the end of the day, it's an election. It is political in nature. So my guess is it's going to be a close one. I'm not sure this one passes though the local parties certainly make
them partisan, Yes, they do. All right, back with more with Salnuzzo, the other five that you're going to vote on next show with Preston Scott, This is the Way on News Radio one hundred point SEVENBUSLA final second years. We go through ballot initiatives. We got about five minutes, we
have five left go. Amendment two is enshrining the right in the Constitution to fish and hunt, which doesn't preclude regulating fishing and hunting, but it does protect the state should the future administration want to completely outlaw that which is currently allowed and legal. And so I think it's largely at this juncture ceremonial,
but it's a very good backstop enshrining our current rights. Correct, correct, Okay, So again it does not say the legislature and the governor cannot regulate how many redfish you can take, but it does say, look, you have the right to do so. On the ballot, is this amendment to? This is amendment to So amendment three. Amendment three is the big one. That is the personal recreational use of marijuana. Well that's a second big one. Yeah, So three and four are the ones that I think are
sucking the oxygen out of the room. So right now, the latest polling I have on recreational marijuana is in the upper sixties. So unless the tide changes in terms of public sentiment on this, my guess is going to pass relatively comfortably, that would open the door to a new Florida. I mean, you've got medical marijuana currently, but recreational is a whole nother ballgame.
For sure. Dorito's sales off the charts, I would disabuse you. I would disabuse you of the of the notion that this is not this is not your grandfather's hippie weed. It's worse. It is a it is a far different environment and landscape. My guess is that if and should this pass, the legislature would likely come in and probably put some guardrails around I have to, you know, where it can and where it can't. And I'm sure
they're going to be facilitating some dialogue on that as they move forward. I know the Governor's office and others are are, you know, kind of trying to push back against this. They don't think it's a good idea for the state. And I understand the logic for is the abortion amendment. And I'm still scratching my head how this has been allowed on there because this is gonna be a disaster. It was definitely a It was definitely a ruling and a
makeup of the ruling that I was. It surprised me on who voted in favor of it versus who voted to not allow it. Yeah, this would enshrine abortion rights and the language of it stipulates up to viability, I believe. Yeah, it is filled with ambiguity. And they all agreed this is going to be litigated endlessly. Yeah, which to me was the answer to why they should have not allowed it. Yeah, And I would expect several hundred millions of dollars being spent on both sides of this argument. Between now
and November, it will likely get even more contentious. And it's contentious now in terms of the back and forth between the groups. It's one that I'm with you. I think we you and I are going to spend some more extended time on a couple of these just by themselves in months to code likely and my old my old group, the James Madison Institute. Every cycle they will come out with an amendment guide that'll, you know, we can use
and walk through and kind of articulate everything there. Last minute left five and
six. Sure five is annual adjustments to the value of homestead exemptions. Now it's only for the school district portion, but it would peg the exemption to inflation, so your exemption would go up on your homestead by a very very small amount each year, just a school district component, so you'd see a little bit of tax savings on your property tax bill each My guess is it may pass, but if it doesn't, it's because it's so far down the
list that people are like, I don't understand it, and they may just vote no. But it is in theory a tax cut. Okay. And number six I didn't even know about this one, but I believe the legislature sent this one up. It was the repeal of public financing of statewide campaigns. So right now, if you agree to a campaign spending limit, you get public financing. This would repeal that program altogether. I'm not a fan of public financing of campaigns at all, So I'm definitely voting yes on this
one. But if you know people are gonna understand it, no, likely not. And my guess is because also this one six it is a last one. It's also got a bigger hurdle than some of the others. Have anyone studied. Has anyone studied whether people tend to vote all yes or all no. I don't know on that. What I do know is the later on the ballot that the amendment appears, the less likely it is to pass because of ballot fatigue. Now that's been researched, so I do have some
numbers on that. I don't know off the top of my head. But your question is a very good one. Course it is. It's always yeah, blind squirrels and acorns, buddy, asking enough questions broke broken one of them is bound to be right broken clock right twice a day. Thank you very much. Good to see you. Always a pleasure. Sal News Oh
with us forty seven past the hour. He's with Consumers Defense dot Com and our guest here in the morning show at Preston's coup All right, going to rearrange things here, just a reminder, here's how we're going to do this, and we're getting some email which is very very exciting. We are trying to make a difference for senior adults in our communities of Tallassee and Panama City and the region surrounding that are helped by Eldercare Services in Tallassee and Bay County
Council on Aging. We are partnering with them to make a difference by providing box fans, and so we're just trying to make it as easy as possible for you. If you want to buy a brand new, unopened box fan that they retail twenty twenty five bucks, if you can bring one to either station location in Tallahassee or Panama City on Wednesday each week for the next few weeks Wednesdays from noon until five, you can drop them off. We'll take
it from there. However, if you want to make a donation, you can do that directly to Eldercare Services of Tallasse or the Bay County Council on aging. You can look all that information up online. You can write a check and you can say, hey, WFLA box fans. You can just just and they'll know what that's for. Or it's called designated giving in the in the charitable world. Designated giving means you say, this is what this
money's for, and they are required to use it for that purpose. All right, So if you want to bring a box fan, though brand new one unopened, drop it off here at our location in Tallahassee on John Knox or Panama City on our Lizzen b AVENUEE Avenue Abenboo lizzenb Avenue, isn't it Lizzenby Avenue location Noon to noon to five local time in each market on Wednesday, all right, brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA. Yeah, good conversation with Sal Muzo of Consumers Defense covered a lot of ground. There a lot lot more to cover in the days, weeks, months to come. We're already scheduling that that guys all over the world. Big stories today covered a lot of ground there, just a recommendation to get back to the podcast and you'll catch the big stories in the press box. But UK's got a new prime minister, the Labor Party has taken over. That means the UK has swung big time to the
left and that's not good news. Chias seed's recalled by the FDA from Walmart. Great value organic black chia seeds thirty two ounce. There's a lot number that you need to pay attention to. If you have these in the cupboard, see zero one eight, throw them out, take them back, don't consume them. A significant risk to your health. And the Dems rumor is one of the rumors is that Kamala will take over the ticket with Gavin Newsom and and that's a problem, but I don't think it's a problem for the
good guys. But we'll see tomorrow. Justin Haskins a manly minute, money talking more. Folks, have a great day.
