Ep. 5209: Aftermath of Hurricane Debby

get that, I get it. But the broadcast started two hours before my normal time, and I was in here helping them with the pre show, show, show show, and we just got busy tracking the storm and dealing with all that. So at any rate, do forgive James one twelve. Blessed is the man who remains stead and fast under trial. Just point the finger at me God, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Hanging

in there, that's that. Let's pa for it. Just hanging in there. It's a very good thing. And so that's how we start our day. James one twelve. Good rebuke to me. I'm good with that. Yeah, I get it. I have a major announcement to make. After consulting with the executive directors the trustees that make up the board of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, it has been determined that Yesterday Today does not count as an official show because I only offered one opinion about global warming.

They said that to count yesterday as an official show in the count of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, I had to offer one opinion per hour, and I only offered one opinion in five hours, four hours, four hours. So I'm sorry today's show fifty two oh nine yesterday didn't count. Ten minutes after the hour back with more of The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

such kind words via email on our efforts. We were fortunate, and yesterday was just a classic example of we were prepared. I mean, oh my goodness, the food sitting in our kitchen. Our emergency generator went out last week, the power the water pump went out, and so it's in the process of being repaired. My boss spent a lot of money to rent a massive backup to our backup generator so that we could stay on if this thing got really bad.

It was a roll of the dice, but it was a it was a decision made so if something significant did happens, if that storm just wobbles fifty miles to the west, we're sitting very differently here today, because if you go just a little bit east of us, it's not nearly as nice as it is here today. I mean, we got a few limbs in, a couple of trees fell, but the flooding's not The flooding really didn't happen as was expected. The amount of rain didn't happen. It just

nudged over enough. And so our thoughts and prayers and best wishes are with those of you that were really severely impacted by the storm to those of you that are now listening to the show because you heard yesterday my monologue on global warming and decided, hey, this guy's pretty smart. Welcome, Welcome plenty more where that came from? Ose can you see over there in Studio one A, I am here in Studio one B. Let's take a look inside the American Patriots Almanac for August the sixth.

I'd already moved the paper clip over to August the seventh, though it's sort of stupid anyway. Seventeen eighty seven, the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia begins to debate a draft. Just for second, how do you start a country? Think of what a remarkable time that was where a nation was forged? And and you use that terminology because if you've ever watched, like the show, Forged in Fire, and you take these various disparate parts of metals, and then you you have

to find a way too do a canister billet. You put all these different pieces and parts in there, and you you have to find a way to forge and and and bring it all together in such a manner that when you hammer it out, it doesn't it doesn't split and fray and segment it's amazing what happened at the start of this nation. Nineteen forty five, US drops the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Some say Hiroshima. I say Hiroshima, some say tomato, some say tomato, some say tuna. Well

everyone says tuna, but you get my point. Nineteen sixty five, President Lyndon Baines Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act, which outlaws literacy tests for would be voters. I could say something, maybe we shouldn't have gotten rid of the literacy test. Now I understand why that happened. Nineteen ninety six, NASA announces American scientists have found possible evidence of a primitive form of microscopic life on Mars. Evidence came from fossils

on a meteorite believed to have originated on Mars. And in twenty twelve, NASA's Curiosity Rover lands on Mars says, hey, this is red. Anyone's seen Matt Damon anyway, sixteen minutes after the hour back with roller Coasters? Yeah, on the morning show. Well I suppose now, if if ever, it's a good time to tell any jokes I have about Panama City, Panama City Beach in the area, because they can't hear me. Yeah, and I'd apologize, except no one

there can hear me. Apparently we're not on in Panama City. See what happened yesterday, See what happened anyway, what happened yesterday is they did not put our program on over there, because why would anyone in Panama City want to hear the constant dirge of what's going on that doesn't affect them at all? And so I made one announcement about you know, the Gulf Coast Stay College campus is being closed yesterday just in case. And and my boss John

Lunn says, we're not on over there. Oh okay. John lives in Panama City with our market president. We have a shared it's the Capital Coast market. Anyway, we are working to restore. But anyway, we just will keep doing what we do, which is our regular radio program. But we are based in the Capital City. We are we are local, we are live, we are loved, and we love. Just remember that we love, we love, we love you the words of the Great Brick Tamlin. We we love lamp,

we love we love carpet. Some of you are laughing right now, and some of you are like, that's it. He's an idiot, that's all right. Are you a roller coaster guy? Ose? Are you? I mean, like, if you go to the theme parks, do you go on the big coasters?

gonna do what it's gonna do. And I've seen too many of those things hang upside down, and that would just be no, no, no, no no. But I did come across an interesting store here. I'd be curious if you've been on any of these. These are the record breaking roller coasters because the the mother of all the roller coasters can be found in the United States. Number one on the list is the kingda ka It six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. It's not just

the tallest, but the tallest in the world. Tallest in the world. It measures four hundred and fifty six feet high. It's also the fastest. It takes you from one to one hundred and twenty eight miles an hour in three and a half seconds, so it's the fastest in North America. It's got the longest drop of any roller coaster in the country. The drop is four hundred and eighteen feet.

No no, no, no, no no. But some of you are like your bucket list things are are roller coasters and you you search and find thrilled to at Cedar Point in Ohio is second in speed, height and drop. Third is Superman Escaped from Krypton at six Flags in Valencia, California. The number two roller coaster on this list is The Beast in Mason, Ohio. Why it is a wooden roller coaster. That's old school, old school wooden roller coaster. It is

the longest wooden roller coaster in the world. The length of the ride is over a mile roughly almost a mile and a half, seventy three hundred feet, heights of one hundred and ten feet, speeds of sixty five miles an hour, and I know I've been on a couple wooden roller coasters. The rickety nature of those things just freaks me out. Number three is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shell Razer East Rutherford, New Jersey at the Nickelodeon

Universe Themed Park. Number four is The Guardians of the Galls Alexy Cosmic rewind it in Orlando, and I that's a Disney You know what they you know what it costs to make that one? Five hundred million dollars half a billion dollars for a roller coaster. O MG. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, not me, nope, not nope, no no, no, no, no, no no, not doing the roller coasters. Back with the big stories.

iHeartRadio dot com. As of right now, it appears as though something weird streaming some sports talk show, and who needs another one of those when you can have me anyway, because I'll talk sports from time to time just to keep us entertained and amused in the world of sports, and I'll talk about the things that matter in sports.

You know what I'm saying anyway, So if you're in Panama City catching the show or not catching the show, well, if you're catching, if we're on, just let me know because we're trying to figure out what's going on over there. We're waking people up. It's an hour earlier over there, So do what you can. Big stories in the press box. So stock market took a huge dive. Huh. Who has been talking about the fact that the stock market is overinflated and that there is no basis for what's happening.

Who's been asking that saying that for a couple years now longer. I mean this, in truth goes back to Obama. The only time we had economic stability that warrants a growing stock market was under Trump in the first three years. Because then COVID hit and that all changed, but the

market kept growing and kept growing. The meltdown in the market, the largest single day loss in history, in part because the market is at historic high levels, was triggered by a US jobs report on Friday that showed a really weak report. And I told you that was coming too. It's not possible the economy and Joe out of you saw the quote I cured the economy. He cured the economy. If cure means I killed it? Okay, Look, we've redefined a lot of words under the Biden administration, So maybe

cured means killed. Right, I was alive when bad meant good, Man, you're bad. I remember that as a kid in school. You're bad. Wait what huh? No, I mean you're good, You're bad bad? Huh? And the and so cured could mean killed in the new vernacular. Economists are urging the Fed to cut rates in response to the tumbling stocks. They see deflation coming, and so to cure deflation you need to get people spending money. Allegedly, But this is see, this is why, this is why you listen to the show.

The senior Economic advisor to Joe Biden this time in his time in office, this guy named Jean Spurling. Okay, Jean has left the Biden White House. Oh really, He's now going to be the Senior Economic Advisor for Policy for Kamala hair his campaign. So the crappy advisors are jumping ship and going to Kamala, and Kamala is worse than Joe now when it comes to our politics and policy. Forty minutes past the hour, I have more big stories.

I've set aside two segments for big stories this morning in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

We're pointing out how the Biden administration is claiming to have cured the economy as the as we are, we are just free falling in the stock market, as interest rates are at not record highs but but extraordinary highs, and the cost of things inflation huge, and so it's it's been a train wreck, and and Biden's out there saying he cured the economy, and one of the architects of his economic policy has just gone to work for Kamala Harris. If I'm the Republican Party, that is headline news.

The guy behind Biden's economic policies has moved to Kamala Harris. You want more of this. If I'm advising Trump, that is that is bo but that that is the the hammer on that nail, over and over and over and over. I'm hammering that in your head over and over that one of the guys who has advised Joe Biden to direct this country into this crap hole of an economy is now heading up as senior economic advisor. Jeans spurling, Ladies and gentlemen, trumpet that Biden's going to get us

into a war. I don't know if you've seen the news. We have deployed a full squadron of F twenty two raptors to the Middle East. We're sending a message to Iran we need we mean business. That's what happens when you have weakness in the overlall office. Scathing report US House Judiciary Committee under the Biden Harris Administration. More than two hundred and fifty illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list were encountered by border patrol on the southwest border

between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. At least ninety nine, with at least thirty four others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the country. Ninety nine were released into US communities with bail with bond. Ninety nine terrorists were released into the United States to just wander freely in the country. We're not even counting the gotaways, which are estimated as two million. Those are the ones that don't want to be caught. These other ones are

stupid or they didn't mind getting caught. They knew the system would work for him. Listen to these numbers of the tens of thousands, the millions that have come across our border from all these nations Afghanistan, Chinese, Iranian, Syrian, who's Bekistanian nationals, thirty three thousand Chinese nationals into our country illegally, thirty three thousand. No other nations, I mean, as far as nations that should concern us, nothing's close.

And again it doesn't include the goudaways. Defense Secretary of Lloyd Austin. You know that plea deal with the nine to eleven terrorist masterminds. He revoked it. Now, that doesn't mean he's not going to reinstate it. He said that authority should rest with me. You can't cut that deal. So he is revoked the deal. Good. Let's hope wisdom prevails and we're gonna talk about this tomorrow with JD. Johnson. The Minnesota State Supreme Court ruled that a threatened person

must retreat before brandishing a weapon. Turn your back, you have to back away. Oh my gosh, and that's what happens. And oh, by the way, Minnesota's gone nuts. I used to live there, breaks my heart. Lovely state, but they've lost their every love in mind because they've gone Democrat and not just Democrat extremist. Forty six after the hour, See what I mean? Big stories? Huh?

get one vote in the primary. She didn't get a vote, she was not the choice, and now suddenly she's the nominee. All right, you can have her. The Biden Harris administration paid outside organizations millions, reporting by the Daily Wire, millions of dollars to move our military apparatus into DEI policies. RAND Corporation paid by your tax dollars, I mean, the Pentagon spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to promote the DEI agenda from twenty two to twenty four.

RAND Corporation wrote a report quoting across organizations, a resistance to DEE and I is growing, while discriminatory and xenophobic expressions are increasing. Some researchers describe the presence of denial perspectives and diversity defiance or white fatigue. It urged the Air Force to develop techniques and tools to mitigate resistance. And then one last little thing, we gave Intel eight

and a half billion dollars in grants. That's tax dollars to lure the company back into the United States while they're just cutting seventeen thousand jobs. There was your money. You know what Trump did. Trump said, We're going to lower corporate tax rates and incentivize you to just come back on your own, and that repatriated billions of dollars. Different philosophy. Good morning friends, Welcome Tuesday, August sixth on

The Morning Show with Thrust and Scott. If you've not heard, the Board of Trustees of The Morning Show declared yesterday not to be an official show, and so today is show fifty two nine. I was a little angry at first at the ruling, but I then listened to a replay, and yeah, I had to admit I only offered one opinion. And the board pointed out that, look, you need to be offering opinion every hour, and you were on for

four hours. I know you were, you know, they said, we know you were on just a little ahead of your normal time, so we're not counting that for or against you. But in that window of time that you were on, you only offered one opinion, and so we as a board just cannot in good faith count that as a show. You know, I want to be honest, I agree. I think it's a fair ruling. I think

it's I think it's very fair. So we are here today Tuesday doing show fifty two oh nine, Jose can you see over there in Studio one A. By the way, word is we might have the solution worked out on the emails, so we'll test that on Thursday this week and make sure. But soon we'll be able to have you right in to Jose can you see? And when that officially happens, we will we will take the time to share the story behind the name. Yeah, we're going to do that. I have you watched any of the Olympics?

Have you paid any attention to what's going on? If so, is there any particular part of the Olympics that interests you?

I'm sorry if that's true, I'm sorry. You don't get to box as a male when you have male chromosomes and you're a dude. And to those that say that's not fair, I would say, guess what I wish. I'd have been two inches taller, if I'd have been two inches taller, I'd have played Division one basketball. If I'd have been two inches taller, I'd have played Division one basketball. I wasn't two inches taller, if I'd have gotten to

six seven six ' eight. There are a lot of things that we could point to in all of our lives and say, you know, that's just not fair. We're created the way we're created, and all I know is men boxing against women are it's wrong. And that boxer, the one from Algeria, was denied a place in the World Championships a year before and suddenly the IOC says, yeah, no worries. That's that's one key Olympic story here men

competing as women. It is it is a reminder of the young lady that played high school volleyball and now partially is partially paralyzed. I don't know if you know this. We talked about the story. She's partially paralyzed because she got a spike in the face, and she's now partially paralyzed because of the nerve damage done in the banks of her neck. The guy on the other side of the volleyball net pretending to be a girl has altered

her life forever, barring a miracle. That's all we need to do to be reminded of the dangers here, not just the unfairness of the competition, the dangers here. A few more Olympic observations coming ten past the hour. There have been some wonderful moments.

letter see separate word Spire. It's a tech and telecommunications company, pulled its advertising as a result of the opening. Now we'll see long term if it means more business. My hunch is it will. But they have been blowing up with congratulations and thank you very much, as from folks on social media overdoing it. Governor of Mississippi Tate reeves, I'm proud to see the private sector in Mississippi step up and put their foot down. God will not be mocked.

Seespire drew a common sense appropriate line. There you go, There you go. That's cool. See it's it's interesting because that is the tendency or factor is, oh, we can't upset this tiny, little fringe group. And when someone says to that, like, remember the whole bud Light thing, wasn't it bud Light that used the uh Dylan mulvaney, the transgender, the dude pretending to be a little prissy miss didn't.

Didn't didn't bud light then give birth to all of these other companies going the other way, and it was like these other companies should blew up sales, and then there was this. It didn't dawn on me, I say, pointing to the temples of my brain. It did not dawn on me that there have hardly been any metal

ceremonies shown on the broadcasts. I couldn't think of one until I saw a of Scotti Scheffler, the US golfer who's the number one ranked player in the world that came back and won the Olympic gold medal second year in a second Olympics in a row for an American, and he held it together, held it together, held it together. Now you may not know, but we've talked about it before. Scottis Scheffler is a very solid Christian brother. He doesn't

beat people up over it. He just lives a Christian, godly life, talks about Jesus openly, and is regarded by his peers as being one of, if not the finest person on professional golf. In professional golf because his character is witness how he's a dad and a husband and a good friend and a just AQI it confident but but humble man. So he wins the gold medal, the national anthems playing, and at the tail end he couldn't

take it anymore. He just cried, proud to be an American, proud to live in the in in such blessing and it was just so refreshing to see someone And I don't know why NBC won't show Americans getting awarded their gold medals and receiving that used to be a big thing that was part of the broadcast, as you would see the awarding of the gold medal when an American. And you know, I, personally, I don't care about other nations.

I don't I love it when I see people representing other nations singing their national anthem proudly and having tears. It moves me. But as it relates to the Olympics, I don't care. I care about Americans. I want to see how American winners respond when they hear the national anthem. Are they proud? Are they thankful? Scotty Scheffler was, And it just caused me to reflect on the fact that we're not seeing any of this. That has to be

a conscious decision by NBC not to show it. I'm not saying they haven't shown any I'm saying in what I have watched, I have not seen one one gold medal national anthem. Let's look at the athlete ceremony. I found Scotti Scheffler's online. That's how I found it sixteen seventeen minutes after the hour. A different kind of sound next. A warning in advance of this segment. You may come out of this feeling dumb and just you just might

feel really stupid. You're not okay. If I were to ask you your candidate for office House, Senate, governor, president, vice president, if I were to ask you, inflation is a real problem. What would be your plan to take some pressures off of inflation to correct the problem. If you were a serious candidate, I would assume that you would have been prepped for such a question, right, and you would have an answer. You would have met with advisors and people and so forth and crafted an answer

to that. Me myself, I'm not running for any office. I would and I mean I just posed the question to myself. And I'm not an intellectual titan here. I am not an economic specialist. I read a lot. I study a lot, and I run a lot of things through the filter of common sense, and I would immediately respond to that, just extemporaneously by saying something to the effect of, to deal with inflation, you have to remove

the pressures that are causing inflation. You have to look at the regulatory environment that's causing costs for businesses to go up. You have to look at the minimum wage demands that are being placed on companies causing the cost of business to go up. You have to look at supply lines and find out what is causing these costs to go up. Then you have to look at the the funding markets and you have to say, okay, why

are interest rates elevated? And you have to take a look at all of this and bring some sort of policy to make things easier for businesses to do what they do. Because businesses don't pay taxes. They don't pay these fees, they pass them on to consumers. So when you see an inflated price of anything, at its core, it comes back to what we as a government do. That would be my answer. I would think that's a

reasonable answer that would work in most settings. Here's the question of candidate for president of the United States, Kamala Harris the exact same question unedited her answer, or was it what else are you going to do to fix this problem with inflation?

heavy weight to carry. So it is something that we take very seriously, very seriously, and we know from the history of this issue in the United States that when you see these prices go up, it has a direct impact on the quality of life for all people in our country. So it's a big issue and we take it.

remember she's left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. I told you you might feel really dumb after listening. Actually it's the opposite. You should feel really smart because I know you have a clue. Twenty seven minutes after this is terrifying, horrifying. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Hey, Hey, hey, hey, good morning, and welcome friends. I hope you're all right. Did not sustain much damage. You're flooding. It was weird. We expected a lot more rain in the capital city,

but to the west it was virtually nothing. To the east, you go fifty miles east, thirty five miles east, and you're in a whole nother world, and Debbie's just dumping rain up to the northeast in the Carolina's parts of Georgia. I mean, there were parts of Florida that got a lot of rain. Don't misunderstand. You know, nearly a foot

of rain came down in certain places in Florida. But we were spared largely in the Capital City rate region, and so I hope everybody in the uh in range of the of the show and of our broadcast yesterday. Yesterday we went what's called walla wall on six stations. We were not on in Panama City. We're not back on in Panama City today because of technical issues. Something something's gone awry, and so our engineering staff's working on it.

They'll have it solved. But but we were we were able to serve the community the best we could with the limited information. You know, there was very little information coming out. National Weather Service stopped giving updates for almost four five hours and and that was troubling. Not sure what happened or why, but that was a little difficult, but we did our best, and we thank you for

your kind words. I know that it's never fun and you hear the same information over and over and over and over, but it's part of our responsibility and we take that very seriously and we just we try our very best, and we had a lot of people come in and do a lot of extra work. Jared john Lund, my boss, his boss, our boss, Darryl Johnson, and then

his boss Paul Rodgers, our engineer Charlie Wooten. Just a lot of people really working hard, and we thank them for their hard work and hope it helped in some way shape or form big stories in the press box today. Now that the storm is in the rearview mirror and we really aren't facing a ton of damage in our area, stock market is in a free for all, allegedly started

triggered by a week jobs report on Friday. What does that tell you that one job report that they weren't expecting to be as it was triggered a massive sell off. Warren Buffett sold off half of his stock in Apple and is sitting with a ton of cash. You know, a lot of people read an investor like Buffett and moves that he makes and go, oh, really, what does he know? And so it's been it's been a real,

real interesting few days. The NICK index in Japan was dropped yesterday twelve percent, worst day since the twenty eleven crisis. It had largest ever points loss. It shed over forty four hundred points. Nasdaq was historic in its point loss. Percentage wise, not quite so much, but the point loss still. I mean, I've been talking about this for a few years now with Howard Eisman, there has to be a correction in the market. The market is overvalued. In my opinion,

I am far from an economic expert. Some economists are are begging the Fed to cut rates. You increase rates to lower inflation, because increasing rates stops people from buying stuff. But that has an impact as well. Now you're starting to see signs of deflation, and you could argue that that's needed, but that can spiral. So that's where you know we're in this territory because the economy does not have stability, and when you add it all up, it's

just it's it's bad. I mentioned that the White House Economic advisor, Gene Sperling has left the White House and has gone to work for Kamala Harris. I'm if I'm the Republican Party, if I'm Donald Trump, I am trumpeting that because the economy is one or two on the list of everybody of reasons why they're they're concerned. There are more big stories. We'll get to those next forty one minutes after the hour, It's Morning Show with Thruston.

fill in the blank right. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has revoked the plea deal with the nine to eleven mastermind and accomplices. That's good, maybe he hurt us. Say what the heck are you doing? He quoting him. I've determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into a pre trial agreement with the accused in the above reference case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me, as the superior convening authority under the Military

Commissions Act of two thousand and nine. Effectively, immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above reference case to enter a pre trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself. Now that clearly states that he can do the same thing. He's just right now at least providing cover for the prosecutor representing the United States of America in the Department of Justice or jag Corp or whatever. And so it's a good decision. We'll see. It's kind of like keep

an eye there, keep an eye on it. Let's see what the decision ends up being under the Biden Harris administration. Yes, Biden Harris, we're going to remind you of that. Not just Biden Biden Harris, she was the czar. Ninety nine people on the terrorist watch list were released into the United States. Thirty four are in custody of DHS, but not removed personally. Why would you remove them their threats to this country, they broke in illegally. Throw them in prison.

I'm giving somebody else to turn loose. And speaking of terrorists in the Middle East, we have now sent F twenty two raptors, an entire squadron. The idea being that we will saber rattle Iran into backing down. That may work, it may it also could lead us into war when we come back. Got a manly minute and more. Third hour is a bit of a dice roll. We will have Matt stay her on next hour. He is the founder,

lead counsel head of the Liberty Council. They argue cases before the United Matt argues before the United States Supreme Court regularly, and he's a frequent guest on this show. Friend of the program. We're friends of his and of Liberty Council. We may not. We may have Kat Camick. She's going through her congressional district in the wake of Debbie Sir, just kind of surveying the damage left behind, just making sure needs are being met. She may join

us as she's doing that. She may not be able to. We're gonna if we get her. We're gonna get her for five or ten minutes. If we don't, we'll schedule another time. Forty six minutes past the hour. It is the Morning Show with Preston Scottland. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, let me kind of set this just a little bit up before we get to our manly minute. I got Jose's name as a potential replacement for Grant Allen as producer of the Morning Show.

And I've known Jose for many years, not quite as long as my two oldest sons. Our two oldest boys have known Jose for how long now, twelve years? I think it's going on like twenty twenty. Okay, you guys have been friends for a minute. As the kids say, yes, sir, And so they know them. They know each other very well. And so on Sunday, when we knew the storm was coming, I'm you know, we're having lunch with We don't always

get all of our kids together. We've got kids spread out in the state, living elsewhere, and so we gather together as much as we can when we can, and it's something that we do on Sunday. We just try to spend some time together as a family and and just kind of catch up on things. And and I said, yeah, we're probably going to be in a little bit early, and Jamison and Jordan said, oh, you wait, Jose's coming in loaded. He is. He's going to come in with everything.

He'll bring his walkie talkies, he'll bring he'll bring his backpack, he'll bring everything. You have no idea how prepared that man's going to be. So yesterday morning, Jose walks in first, I think I'm looking at Kevin the Minion because he's got one of those big minor lights in the middle of his forehead. He's wearing his waterproof you know boots borderline waiters. He's got a backpack that would make anybody

on the game alone proud. It's one of those backpacks that spans three quarters of your body length, and on the bottom of it, he's got a bedroll tide. He had everything and maybe even a portable generator in there. Dude, you made me proud. How prepared you were? Oh yeah, I was in it for the long haul. Yeah you were. I couldn't even believe my eyes as I saw it. And so, with Jose's inspiration, we offered today's edition of A Manly Minute Remember Mail by birth Man my choice.

These are skills, virtues, ideals, thoughts, convictions to teach your son to make sure he is a man. Jose illustrated it yesterday. Be prepared. This isn't about a mantra of a formally great organization like the boy Scouts. This is an axiom for life being prepared. So here's how this transitions to your son. As your son heads to school for the new school year. Tell him what he's to bring, make sure he's prepared, and leave it up to him

to bring it. If he leaves something at home, don't run back to the house and bring it to him. Let him go without his lunchbox for the day. He won't forget it the next day. If he's supposed to have five number two pencils and he brings one and that one breaks, oh well, he'll learn to bring the others. You get my point. Let your son learn the value of preparation. Let him have a hiccup. Let it mean something to him that he was the only one that

couldn't color because he forgot his crayons. It will pay dividends for the rest of his life to teach him to be prepared. That means one day you're gonna say, son, I'm proud of you, boy, you've turned into a fine man. Emphasis on man, and so, my friends, that is that is our mainly minute for the day. If you're a single mom, your dad, your uncle, a trusted friend, pass on those tips. You can pass on some of them.

You want to raise a man. All right, Here we go, third hour of a fast moving Tuesday, just crazy fast. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you this morning. We had hoped to have Congresswoman kat Camick on the show with us, but methinks that it's not going to happen. She's touring the area

in the wake of Debbie. It came across her congressional district a little bit more strongly than it did our region, and so I knew it was going to be a bit of a dice roll whether we would get her on the air. She may call in, but as of right now, it does not look like it's going to

be happening. Later on this half hour, we will talk to Matt Staver of Liberty Council a little response to a story in Politico about school choice and the ability to meet the needs of parents and their children when public education is falling short if they decide that they want to take their child elsewhere that those options exist. We'll talk with Matt about something that Liberty Council is

engaged in. But I thought it would be interesting to get the latest on what the Secret Service is saying about July thirteenth, And isn't it interesting how we have these dates now lodged in our head the acting Secret Service Director, Ronald Rowe, held a press conference last Friday. It did not get much attention. They are no longer projecting blame on anybody but themselves. That's a start quote. This was a mission failure. Agents should have had eyes

on the roof. We know that other vantage points local law enforcement, he's now saying, offered to fly drones over the area to take a look at everything. The Secret Service declined, quoting we thought we might have had it covered with the human eye, but clearly we are going to change our approach now, and we're going to leverage technology and put those unmanned aerial systems up. We did not have a drone on site. We did not put

up a drone. Based on the information I have right now, I'm aware that there was a request from a local agency to offer to fly a drone on that day. That is also part of the mission assurance review that I've asked to get better insight on. I'm going to pause right there. There is more that he said, and I want to get to it in the next segment.

But I think all of us have a little bit of a checklist in our brain, and I think a lot of us though not all are of the belief that for so, look, it's almost an exercise in problematical odds. What are the odds of this thing going wrong? In all of these things that are the responsibility of a protection agency, the odds of someone not covering a roof adjacent to the shooter, adjacent to the speaker where the shooter was perched. If you prioritize the things that can't

go wrong, that's maybe the highest on the list. If you were to say, we should have someone at all four sides of that building and the connecting building to ensure no one could have gotten up there. Okay, that would have required what eight, ten, twelve officers that maybe you did or did not have. Maybe you say, if you're the advanced team to the president's team, we can cover this. We need you to hire twelve independent contractors

security private security to cover these areas. We will take We will be on that roof, you need to cover the perimeter of that building. Those are things that all of us look at and say that should have been part of the advanced plan right covering that contingency. But when you get to the odd of okay, they missed the roof, right, next to Trump, and then you start adding up. They didn't tell Trump to not go on

the stage. They didn't know where this guy was, and they were concerned about him an hour and a half before they lost sight of him. They had reason to be suspicious and concerned. You start adding these up, and all of a sudden, the odds of this just being and oops go away. They don't disappear all together. I need to correct myself, but they almost disappear altogether. I still believe it was allowed by the lead people, not necessarily the people on the ground, but the lead people.

But we got more to come. Ten past the hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston.

willing fool. I mean, there are a lot of things we just don't know yet. But what I'm trying to express, and maybe I'm not doing it very well, is that when you add up the totality of failures, it's so beyond an oops. They look like a series of systemic, intentional failures. The acting director said that Secret Service also failed to communicate with local law enforcement over the radio. He said the agency fell short of their responsibility to

ensure Trump's safety. I'm working to make sure this failure does not happen again. You could very cynically step back and say, yeah, you guys tried to kill Trump, not necessarily the agency, but in allowing it to happen, and you know that you can't let that happen again. And so now you're stepping up to the plate. That's what a cynical public is saying right now. And I get it. I'm not far from that. You have one job. You protect the people you're signed to protect. Rallies, you send

an advanced team. That team is to look at all of the factors and mitigate risk. It's really not a complicated job. This is an expression I use a lot in life. Their job isn't easy. It isn't easy. And the men and women that are putting their life on the line, willing to take a bullet for the people they're guarding. That's not easy. But it is simple. It's a simple job, though not easy, locking down that area. Honestly, it's not complicated. I think, you know, I'm probably gonna

JD his thoughts on this. We talked to Charlie right after it happened, Charlie Strickland in our Personal Defense segment the attempted assassination. I want to get JD's thoughts on it. They do security evaluations, I would think it's pretty simple what needed to be done, and they didn't do it. I come to the conclusion. I come to simply based on again odds, the odds of one of these things. Eh,

it makes you a little girl. But when you look at the importance of securing that rooftop, any adjacent building, the water tower behind, and they didn't do any of those. And then you add the drones, you add the radios, you add the failure to tell Trump don't go on the stage until we locate this person. You know what you had the capability of flashing the pictures that they'd taken of that kid in his T shirt, because those

were pictures of that day. You have the capability of flashing it on the screens and saying we're looking for this young person, and the rally is not going to continue until we find this person. The fact that none of that happened is the problem. Sixteen minutes after the hour Back with More Here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty two passed the hour of the debate debate.

It's becoming kind of comical. Trump said, I'm not going on ABC and debating Kamala Harris there there's conflict of interest with George Stephanopolis and the whole ABC crew. It's not going to happen. Come on and see. Well, I'm not going on Fox. And Trump's position is, Look, that was the agreed to debate with Biden. You've replaced Biden. That's what we're doing, or we're not doing anything at all. You know, I personally, if I were Trump, I'd go wherever she wants to go, and I would dog her.

If you missed it earlier, this was Kamala's answer to the question of what she would do to deal with inflation. I think it's it's important to hear it to do what she had to say. Thank you.

thank you. Along with Jose over there in Studio one A. I am here in Studio one B President Scott and joining me is Matt Staver. Matt is the founder and a frequent guest from Liberty Council. Matt, how are you, sir?

that are online. So long as you have a live feature presenting say for example, nine to ten every day or whatever it is a specified time with as a live teacher. You can actually have individuals bring together different books to create their own curriculum and that can be reimbursed. A glitch in the law and we're going to be working on that in the next season in twenty twenty five. And that is schools that are fully online are still not eligible for the scholarship program. It makes no sense

because in our case, Covenant Journey Academy. We have a lot of discounts right now anyway, because of donations that we have been able to provide and end obtained to have very low discount rates as well as one hundred and seventy one dollars a month, so it's very affordable

even without the scholarship. But coven To Journey Academy that we launch and which I am chancellor, is a very high level K through twelve online program, one hundred and fifty plus courses, all taught by certified teachers from a

biblical worldview. We have over thirty college courses for dual credit, so that you can graduate with your high school diploma and a two years as sociate Arts degree also credited as well, so you can either take a gap year in between high school and college, or you can go right directly into college as a junior as opposed to a sophomore. We have six foreign languages and just a lot of opportunity, and we're twenty four seven three sixty

five rolling enrollment. You can enroll every Monday, so we're not bound by the semester system, and it's self pace, so you can complete a course no quicker than eight weeks, but no longer than twelve months. So if you can really absorb the maturity, you can go quickly. If you need more time, you can go slower. An incredibly powerful

program for parents, and so we are very excited about this. Frankly, what is happening in the school choice is a good movement, and in these online schools or homeschool movement is a great movement because we can't keep doing the same template in these public schools. And you see what we get. We get the Columbia University kinds of things. If we start there in college, it's a little late. We have to start in K through twelve. The most significant time

of education is K through twelve. So now a new development happened in Florida, and that's the micro schooling. It

doesn't address school choice per se. What it does is it says that the new policy that just goes into effect now permits private schools, which could be a homeschool or an online school, to use facilities owned or at least by a library, community service organization, museum, performing arts venue, theater, cinema, or church under the properties current zoning and land use designations.

The private school in other words, does not have to pursue any rezoning or seek a special exception for land use change to operate in those spaces that now frees up about according to estimates, fifty thousand locations in Florida for private schools to operate in small numbers all across the state. So there's a lot of opportunity that's happening in the private particularly home school, virtual online school movement, and I think that is going to continue to provide families with school choice.

dual income parent. But I can't stay home. I've got to have my child someplace, and that's a big issue. They've got to be able to drop them off at school because they have to bring in income to support the family. So even though it's affordable, and even though it's homeschool without the hassle, for example, in the Covenant Journey Academy model, they still need to be able to work outside of the home. They can't work at home,

so how are they going to do it well? The micro school opportunity, and we're doing this with churches, so churches were going to be covered by this. But it's not just churches, libraries, museums, businesses. You can open up your room. You don't have to get it rezoned or different land use to bring in students. So in our model, you don't even need a full time teacher. In the micro school model, you would need a full time teacher

if they're just doing their own curriculum. But in our model, take for example, take the context of a church, we could have a facilitator in that church and they don't need to be certified because our teachers are already certified and they're providing the curriculum. But mom or dad they can drop off their son or daughter at that church, or at that business, or at that library where facilitator

is there to be basically a chaperone. The kindergartener can do their kindergarten programs, the fifth grade or the fifth grade programs, the twelfth grade or the twelfth grade programs because they're all individualized. Now they have a place to go, they have a secure environment. Mom and dad can drop

them off, continue to work. They're getting a good education, they're out of the public school, and they're in a small group setting with individual private tutoring, at least in our model coming to Journey Academy, So that third option is really being opened more by this micro schooling, and the microschooling now allows us to us and others to be able to have groups of people meet in places churches, businesses, museum, libraries, and so forth without having the hassle of trying to

get rezoned or getting a business permit to operate a school in that facility because it's otherwise not zoned or available for school operations. So that is a big, big issue, and that really answers the third question that people have. Is it affordable? Number one? Can I do it? Number two? And even if it is affordable and I can do it, well, I still have to work. What do I do with my kid during the day. This answers that the micro

schooling gives you a place where you can go. You'll have to either in this model outside of coming to Journey Academy, get a teacher. In our model, all you need is a facilitator who's basically a chaperone, and everything else is turnkey. So this really begins to open up a lot of more opportunities for the homeschooling model.

hunt for things. I know you're a dumpster diver, but I mean do you do you hunt for things like at flea markets anything in particular.

firing prototype Boba Fet. Only three thirty ever produced. This one is the highest graded example of the three known to still exist. First up for auction toy was made as a prototype, never made it to market due to risk of injury to children from firing the rocket. A similar Boba Fet auctioned for five hundred and twenty five thousand in June. It was an L slot firing mechanism, not a J slot, and it was one of seventy. This is one of thirty and one of only three

known to exist, and it's the highest graded example. What's this one gonna sell for? I'm guessing better than seven hundred thousand an action figure prototype. Mind you, it's only a handful of people had access to it. But what that's pretty crazy? Who knew? Man you buy these toys? My son has a set of original teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the box in their original packaging, never opened. I don't know what it'll come of that. But anyway, Yeah, just saying.

market was overvalued. Although in the Trump administration there was an economy strong enough to support it, still overvalued. I still believe it's overvalued. I think it's way overvalued. We'll talk more next week about that. With Howard Eisman economous asking the Fed to cut rates. Not all of them, but some of them are saying you gotta cut rates.

One of the architects of this horrible economic policy, Gene Sperling, going to work for Kamala Harris as her senior economic advisor, United States sending F twenty two raptors squadron of them to the Iranian Middle East area to calm things. We'll see if it works. Covered a lot of other ground check out the podcast. Those of you in Panama City that might be streaming right now, you can listen to the rest of the show on the podcast. We hope

to be back on the air there tomorrow. Have an awesome day.
