And hey, goodbody, and uh, welcome to the to the program. Great to be with you this morning.
My name is Waldsworth Pentemeter the third, and it's a delight to share this time of enlightenment and invigorating chat and conversation.
Clever repartee with one and all. Good morning ruminators, welcome. How you doing morning show with persons? God, moments of idiocy sprinkled in like like seasoning on a something like that. Anyway, that's so's over there in Study one am here in Studio one B. Good to be with you. Thursday busy program has always lots of guests on Thursday. It just kind of works out that way, and today no different.
Steve Stewart, doctor Matthews Aedeman in for doctor David Harts this morning and in the third hour Jason Snead Honest Elections Project. Always a worthy goal to have honest elections, don't you think? Be nice to get back to those, And hopefully I'll have someone write in and say it's unpatriotic to say things like that to undermine the confidence. Well sorry. Our verse today comes from Hebrews ten. We're
gonna build on where we started yesterday started yesterday Verse nineteen. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened and for us through
the curtain, that is through his flesh. Now we continue, and since we have a great priest over the House of God, let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. You know what that says. It just reminds us that there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ.
There are so many of you walking around with regret and beating yourself up over things that you either asked God to forgive you or yet didn't if you did. The Bible says that those things are cast as far as the east is from the west. Now some have said, well that can be. That can be as close as a step. You know, that step takes you east, that step takes you west. That's not far from each other except in God's economy. It's done to constantly allow yourself
to be condemned for things that you have. You can't control whether anybody forgives you all you can do is purpose in your heart to forgive others and seek forgiveness for yourself. That's it. You have zero control over anybody else. None. And so if you are in a situation where you've asked for forgiveness and someone has not forgiven you, that's all you can do. You seek forgiveness from God. If God says, hey, you need to seek forgiveness, you go
seek that forgiveness. And if they don't, that's on them, because unforgiveness only hurts the person holding it. Unforgiveness never hurts the person that you're not forgiving. It only hurts you. And sometimes that unforgiveness extends to yourself. Jesus has made a way for us to receive forgiveness and to be cleansed. No ceremonial cleansing that happen at the Temple Ah. This is the real thing, the total cleansing. That's what Jesus provides.
So walk free, my friends, forgive thyself and live your life. Learn your lessons, live your life. Ten that's the hour back with the American Patriots Almanac on the Morning Show with Preston Scott and Use Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA do you train, and you train and you train, and then there's that moment in the race when you watch these men and women realize their dream is not going to happen, and it breaks your heart for them.
They're running so hard, and then they get down this home stretch and they just can't hang on and they fade back and back and the rest of the runners run past them and you can see it on their face. And that's when you say, at least I'm an Olympian. I may not win gold, silver or bronze, but I made it here. I'm an Olympian. That's pretty cool. That is pretty cool stuff. I've been fortunate to know two Olympians. A young lady that swam for South Africa years ago,
Marianne Kreole. She won bronze. Awesome Christian lady, just awesome and was a national hero obviously. And then I've shared at times my childhood sitting with my dad as he had lunch and I just listened to he and Jesse Owens, And to say that I had met Jesse Owens on more than one occasion, it's pretty cool, pretty cool. That man was amazing and what he did in Berlin. It was much more than winning gold medals. That was that was a thumb in the eye of the fure. Hitler
got a giant from Jesse and the Americans. Well done anyway, all right, this date August eighth, not a lot, not a ton here, eighteen sixty six, Queen Emma of the Sandwich Islands becomes the first queen to visit the US. There's kind of a notorious, not very proud history of how the US handled Hawaii and co opt it to become a state. It's a story not a lot of people know, but it speaks to why we need to not tear down monuments to Confederate soldiers, generals and so forth.
It is part of our history, and you learn from history. I would challenge you to do a little digging. There's a podcast called Noble Blood, and in that they share the story of sort of the underside of nobility and how siblings worried about others and I mean, you know, fathers and sons, and who would take the throne and just the do of it, all the underbelly and what happened in Hawaii, the Sandwich Islands. It's it does not paint the United States in a very good light, and
most people don't know the whole story. Eighteen seventy six, Thomas Edison receives a patent for the mimiograph, used for a century to make multiple paper copies until the electronic copier took its place. Then you move all the way forward to nineteen seventy four. President Nixon announces he will resign the next day due to Watergate, and in two thousand and seven, Barbara Morgan becomes the first teacher to
say a flea reach space board the Shuttle Endeavor. Might remember CHRISTA mccauliffe died in nineteen eighty six and the Challenger explosion, Well, I remember that MM sixteen minutes after the hour, come back and talked a little bit about doctor Doom.
Huh Are you a Marvel guy?
The Marvel movies franchise I used to be. I still like the old ones. I describe the old ones like the original, the first edition of Iron Man and the first edition of Captain America and that kind of thing. Yep, yep, yes, sir, yeah, they were just, you know, way better than what we got nowadays. I really enjoyed the first version of sample Captain America, the first version of The Avengers, the first version of you know, iron Man was epic. That was
that was terrific. Then I started to learn about the politics of the actors and they that just really that kind of sent me the other way. I never got into the whole Aquaman thing. Uh. The actor who plays the part, he's he's likable enough. I don't I don't have an issue with him. What is it, you said, Jason Momoa or something like that? Is that is that? Is that?
Right?
Asked the corporate Okay, he's decent. I don't have any I don't like, I said, I don't have a problem with him. But Chris Evans turned into a jerk, you know, Robert Downey Jr. It's interesting. He has signed a new deal with Marvel. He becomes the highest paid actor in the world. He's gonna make seventy nine dollars for one movie, plus plus performance escalators tied to the box office, and it's gonna be the Fantastic Four villain doctor Doom. I
don't know how that's gonna work. You've got an iconic character in Iron Man, and now he's gonna switch teams. Well there is I hear there's a story in the in the comic book, the old comic books where there's a version where Ironman uh becomes Doctor Noon and like another dimension or something like that. No, really, yeah, that's why I hear see see Marvel just you. First of all, you've had way too many Spider Man, way too many. And that's the problem with some of these these franchise characters.
The actor gets older and you're still trying to spin off movies. So you went from Toby McGuire to what was it Andrew Garfield and now Tom Tom something or another playing Spider Man, and it's like they're all different playing the scene, and it just it's and I like the newer guys playing Spider Man better than Toby McGuire playing Spider Man because I can't get out of my head Toby maguire playing the Jockey and see I just I can't get that out of my head. So seeing
him as Spider Man, it's just like brutally difficult. But you know, Robert Downey Junior made over half a billion dollars playing Iron Man in the movies that are iron Man, plus his cameo appearances in The Incredible Hulk. There's another one, Incredible Hulk, You've you've got different people. And the guy who's playing Hulk, now, what's his name? I should know it. He's an uber lib. He's like a lost my mind lib nuts, absolutely nuts, and it's just kind of ruined
it for me. But I enjoy I enjoy the Thor movies. That guy's kind of funny. And the way that they write those parts, you know, pretty good. But I didn't get into the whole age of Ultron and you know, Extinction and More Extinction and whatever the different versions of it. I didn't, And and my sons are like, you've lost your mind. Dad. It's like, yeah, it's too money. It's just too money. Give me good guys and bad guys, and let's keep it simple. Thanos and the Jewels and
the he can't lose. What are these mortals with some sort of sort of power gonna do to him? He's got the stones and yet somehow, you know, it's like and then what black Widow? Give me a break. It's a fun character, Like what what Hawkeye? Is that it the dude Jeremy Renner with the bows and bow and arrow? Yep,
Hawkeye is that what it is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean I just and then and then you you had this switch in Iron Man from the guy who was his bud, Terrence Howard the Third or whatever, and then they switched to Don Cheatle and it's Roady I think it was his name, and it's like, that's just ridiculous. Stop. They needed to get the same actor. Anyway, what do I know? What do I care? It'll be interesting to see if Disney can recover the Marvel franchise if they
keep going woke. They can't do it. They can't do it because they've insulted everybody that supported him. Anyway, twenty seven Past the Hour more than you care about it when we come back, crazy, absolute craziness.
The fastest three hours in media. And don't be surprised if you have a chuckle here and there. Just like that, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Hey, good morning, thirty six Past the Hour, Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston, Jose and Richard. Thanks for calling in and pointing out Aquaman is DC Comics. You're right there too, just muddled. How many Batman can we have? Is Michael Keaton gonna put the suit back on?
Huh?
You see Michael Keaton's coming back as Beetlejuice.
Yeah.
I love it. He's actually gonna pull it off because he looks like himself and he's wearing all the makeup. Oh yes, great, Yeah, Beetlejuice, Beetle Juice. Yeah, probably. You know it's it's a little dark. But anyway, Uh, don't want to get distracted here. Just tomorrow, I'm gonna go more in depth about the policies of Tim Walls, the vice presidential pick of Kamala Harris. I just want to point out Kamala and Tim's website has not one policy position, none.
They don't tell you what they think about anything. She's apparently doing the ropodope that Joe Biden did four years ago. She's not answering questions. She's not she and here's why, because if she's not on a script, she's a train wreck. That's where the word salads come from. I'll talk more about this tomorrow. I printed out their FAQs from their website. They're hilarious. It's all about giving money, not about anything related to policy that kind of matters. You know, you
want to be president and vice president. But we have enough to go on there. I want to go to this is this is part of the picture. This is what you're getting with Tim Walls, Like all regular.
People I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then.
Wrote a best seller trashing that community.
Come on, okay, really, that's that's that's what you got hunt attacking JD vance Well. JD was asked by a reporter about all this.
Sirs for last Night, Governor Waltz suggested that because of your Ivon League, education in your Silicon backing, your political career and to yourself are part of the eleague, what are your first impressions of then trying to frame you this way to the American.
Talkbo Well, Look, I came from a family where nobody in my family had ever gone to law school.
I was.
I grew up in a poor family. The fact that Tim Waltz wants to turn it into a thing that I actually worked myself through college, through law school and made something myself, to me, that's the American dream. And if Tim Waltz wants to insult it, I think that's frankly pretty bizarre. Now, look, what really bothers me about Tim Waltz. It's not even the positions that he's taken,
though certainly he has been a far left radical. You know what really bothers me about Tim Waltz as a marine who served his country in uniform when the United States Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I did what they asked me to do it, and I did it honorably, and I'm very proud of that service. When Tim Waltz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did.
He dropped out.
Of the army and allowed his unit to go without him, a fact that he's been criticized for aggressively by a lot of.
The people that he served with.
I think it's shameful to prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a promise that you're going to follow through, and then to drop out right before you actually have to go. I also think it's dishonest something Again, if you guys ever get an opportunity to ask Tim Waltz or Kamala Harrison questions, he made this interesting comment that the Kamala Harris campaign put out there, and I bet they were regretting they put it out there now because he said that we and he was making a
point about gun control. He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets.
Well, I wondered, Tim Waltz, when were you ever in war? When? What was this weapon that you carried into war?
Given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq and he has not spent.
A day in a combat zone.
What bothers me about Tim Waltz is the stolen valor garbage.
Do not pretend to be something that you're not.
And if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy League education, I'm proud of the fact that my Mamma supported me, that I was able to make something of myself. I'd be ashamed if I was him and I lied about my military service like he did.
Yeah, we're going to get to that. On the other side. Forty minutes past the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. The fun doesn't stop here.
Find more on his vlogbuflafm dot com.
Keyword Yeah, I want to get right to that SoundBite that jd Vance is talking about. Let's give that a listen. Here's Tim Walls.
Pope wo Cup like many of you did five weeks ago, and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army, and I hunt and I gave the money back, and I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects a second amendment.
But we can do background checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry amongst states, and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons were.
That I carried in war. He's a liar. He's a liar. That's what jd Vance is talking about. He said it. He was never deployed to war. He went to Italy. Guys who went there with him never got weapons out because it wasn't a war zone. He's a liar. He's also a liar when it comes to his rank. The Harris campaign. His bio all claimed the same claims that he retired as a command sergeant major. The problem is the Minnesota National Guard said he retired as a master sergeant,
and it matters he did not attain the rank. The rank that he claims he attained requires roughly two years of coursework and completion of that coursework, among other things. He never did it. The men who served with him say, that's Tim Walls always claiming so something he never did. What is very clear is his record. I'm going to talk more about that tomorrow. But this guy is he is the perfect match with Kamala because he is a
looney tune I shared yesterday. This is a guy who believes and set up systems where parents lose their children, their minor children if they don't go along with their gender reassignment, with their gender self identification. Even though the science is clear it's a brain fog. Kids grow through. The overwhelming majority of kids go through it and come out the other side biologically where they're born. This guy
believes in childhood mutilation. This guy believes in if a p if a child runs away to Minnesota and the parents are like, you can't that's my minor child. Oh sorry, we're not returning your child. We know best. He's set up Minnesota to be a sanctuary state, and children aren't returned to their parents. That's a factual matter of law.
So he's a liar. He's a lunatic. He believes in extreme policies that had neighbors ratting out neighbors for going to church during the during COVID for not wearing masks. He was angry when people were walking around the lakes of Minnesota, the ten Land of ten thousand Lakes, when they were too close together. Even though all of that has been debunked. All of that was nonsense when it happened. But here we are. This guy wants to be vice president,
share away from being president. And oh, by the way, they still won't talk policy. When he was asked questions about some of his stuff with the National Guard, he refused to answer them. He walked away from the questioners, ignored them. That's what you're gonna get. He says, he can't wait to debate jd Vance or we'll see how that goes. He's got a significant problem. He's not going
to walk away from his policies. He's proud of them, and that's going to be his undoing because here to four, those policies only affected, or shall I say, infected, the citizens of the state of Minnesota. They're the only ones that would give a rats rand about Tim Wallace up until now. Let's see how much ownership he takes of his policies moving forward. My hunch is he is so egotistical, he is so in love with himself, he will take full credit for his policies which are off the hook, unhinged,
beyond illiberal. I can't wait for the debate stage. If it's a fair one, he will be ruined because America is already starting to learn he is a liar. And stolen valor seems to be something that crosses political lines. That seems to be an issue that veterans take very seriously and for good reason. He's guilty of it. Weapons I carried into war What a joke. He's a coward. He left his unit forty seven minutes after the hour, Back with more of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Welcome to Show with Preston Scott. All right, a few little odds and ends here to throw in before we get to the top of the hour, Steve Stewart joining US. Disney theme park attendance is down. Show of hands, anyone surprised? Yeah, I mean, shouldn't it be thriving in the summertime. It's not Disney's. Disney's just really causing itself some issues. It's Streaming prices are jumping up in October across the board, whether it's Disney Plus, Disney Plus, Hulu, ESP the En Plus,
all of those things are jumping up. The bundle price is jumping up. It's crazy Hulu. I mean, here we go, right. The whole point of these services was was why because cable prices we're so high. Listen to what Hulu's jumping to. Hulu plus Live TV is gonna go to eighty two ninety nine a month, ninety five ninety nine for ad free version, one hundred bucks. Wow. Yeah, if you want, if you want Hulu plus Live TV, you're gonna pay roughly one hundred bucks a month. All of a sudden,
the connected cables starts looking better. I'm an Exfinity guy, you know, I do. I do have a couple of extra streaming services that I just kind of throw in with my Infinity package. But and I'm not I'm not a paid endorser for Infinity in any way, shape or form. I just it's reliable, and I'm okay with paying a little bit more because it's reliable. I've got a bundle of services that I use them for, and so I'm I'm I'm content with that. I know that, you know,
cut the cable. It's tempting. And if you ever have a need for customer service, Exfinity will make you jump off a cliff, jump off a bridge. You will, you will, you will lose your mind dealing with customer service with Exfinity. The good news is I don't have to deal with customer service with Infinity very often, so that's good. Americans now owe a record of one point one four trillion in credit card debt. The number of delinquencies is up,
the number of past dues. Yeah, you know, delinquencies. It's just people are using credit cards to pay for basics. And that's a recipe for disaster because if you can't pay those rates and you're not locked in with a low rate card, you're at twenty nine percent twenty nine percent. Tampa Bay Times cutting a fifth of its workforce axios eliminating fifty positions. It would appear that a lot of the news outlets struggling, even the online outlets. Now why
would that be? Yeah, buddy, here we are ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, males and females, only boys and girls. It is second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty two to eleven. Jose, can you see over there in Studio one A. I am here in Studio one B, and I am joined by the executive editor of Taalllawhea reports. He is the one, the only Steve Stewart, Good morning, sir, Good morning Preston.
Then the.
Nick Nick breaking news. Yeah, you've got some breaking news call last night.
Checked it out. You know, this is it's consistent with what we've been reporting. The progressive element. Leon County is getting twenty five thousand dollars from where Where would you get twenty five thousand dollars if you're promoting progressive.
While of course Gatston County. Oh, it's it's west, but.
A little further, little further west Colorado, San Francisco.
What yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait wait, what in the world would somebody in San Francisco have an interest in Tallahassee local polympies. Looks this.
You know, we've been reporting about this for ten years now. You remember Andrew Gillum and the people from America Away, these progressed.
George Soros connected organization exactly. So these national groups are are you know they are. They want you to keep your their eye on things national. But you know behind the table are under the table, they're sending money to these local communities to try to flip these local elections. They do it with the district attorneys. Yeah.
And so this group Green Abski Project two years ago did the same thing, but they hit it a little bit better. We reported on that. But now twenty five thousand dollars to one Tallahassee pack which was started by a commissioner Mattlow and and this group, you know, it's older for the environment and for green energy. But the thing is when you start looking at the founder and the guys, I want to get this right. The guy's name is Michael Okay, and he's a He is a
left wing progressive. It could have been Kamala Harrison's running maker. Actually is that left wing Okay? He was occupied Tallahassee Supporter worked with the Bernie Sanders campaign. Is serves on the Tides Foundation board, which is funded by George Soros. So this, it is what we've been talking about. The progressives here in Leon County, Commister Mattlow, Jack Porter, dot Man Johnson, and actually Jeremy Rodgers is being supported by
this pack also. They are trying to take this national narrative of this progressive moves and bring it into title haset. We've been talking about this. They tried to do it with a law enforcement issue, the.
Conferences that Commissioner Porter goes to with local product.
It's all starting to add up and you see this and they don't. The thing about it is which is amazing, is that they don't want to talk about it.
They are trying to fool voters.
They're not saying, hey, look, you know, we want to move money from the police department budget to social services. Okay, although as we'll hear later, they actually have said that it's just not getting reported right. But they don't want to talk about it. They're trying to, you know, we're fiscally conservative.
They're doing what Kamala is now doing. It's now what Democrats are doing nationally, Steve, They're doing the ropodope.
Right, and so here it is right in tallehsee twenty five thousand dollars. And this is going to a pack that started by Commission Mattlow, who is just so offended by you know, businesses supporting campaigns, and it gets to the underlying hypocrisy. And I think I'd have a lot more respect for them if they would just actually list their policies of what they want to do. You look
at what we talked about law enforcement. This guy that is funding this green Avacy Project Real Justice Pack, he also created in twenty seventeen with a guy named Sean King, Black Lives Matter, you know, you know, anti police, anti the police, all that. And that's what we see here, right. We saw Todd's reports breaking the story.
Yeah, because you're not going to get their money if you don't advocate their.
Causes exactly, and they're advocating it here. I mean, we saw as we reported the first that Jack Porter and Diamond Johnson went to this forums that was put on by TACAC, which is an anti law enforcement group killer Cops, chief Revels and murder. And again it flows this is why they're getting the money.
They say, hey, look these local politicians.
They're they're supporting what we want to get into these local governments, So let's send them twenty five thousand dollars and there'll be more coming from that. It's just that we've we've been able to see this getting reported through the.
Pack news you will not hear and have not heard anywhere else. Steve Stewart with us Tellassireports dot com. That's why you subscribe ten past the Hour show with Preston Scott.
I Got bad thought My News Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA.
Eleven minutes past the Hour, Steve Stewart with me Executive editor Tellassi Reports, reminding you that's you subscribe to the paper. You can look online, but you get a paper and you get stories that are that that don't appear online. You get exclusive stories that you're just not going to get reported anywhere else because other places they just put their hands in their pockets, shrug their shoulders because they're
too close to these people. They don't want to write anything that is not nice because they feel they'll lose access. I'm laughing at the fact that much has been made about the city subsidizing and advertising with Tallaser Reports and Steve the city advertises and has historically advertised with every media outlet.
Yeah, I mean it's look, I mean it's again they're trying to when you start reporting facts. It's like every newspaper has a bias to have a mission.
I'm biased. I have a mission.
I'm I'm pro public safety, I'm pro economic growth and pro transparency. In other words, when I say pro transparency, you say what you stand for, and you know, let the chips fallow the fallow away. So those are yeah, I'm biased towards that. And the problem is is you look at this group and before we get to this travel issue, they'll go to this tCAC form.
Okay, which deed remind everybody what that is.
Glastic Community Action Committee, left wing group, pro Palestinian, hate police, hate police. We just hired thirteen new police officers on Friday.
Yesterday.
I had a ceremony. This is this is a group that was defended okay by Jack Porter, Dotamon Johnson and Jeremy Matlow. This is what they tweeted out. Yay, excited for thirteen more paid stooges to waste our city's public funding, maybe they can work with a war criminal again, just to spice things up. This is a group that Jackporter and dot Hman Johnson went and gave them credibility. It's a group that the media gives credibility to. And you can hear my voice. I get upset about this because
this is not even debatable. You want to argue that, yeah, you know we have, you know, an issue with a cop that did this or that, that's fine, but this is defund the police.
And every single one of those members, Steve, if they have an emergency, they're calling nine to one one and they want the police to show up.
Right, And it's it is I mean, Commissioner Malow defended this group, okay, and it's that's shame on.
It is shame it's shameful.
And again the media, and I say, the television stations, w FSU, the Democrat, they protect them, and it's it's like nothing I've ever seen before. But this is how it happens nationally. The problem is now nationally, you've got the social media platform so you can get the message out, which like we're doing right here, but this is just to tweet this out and nobody to say anything and you know where's mayor daily. I saw a tweet like this and I was mayor. I would defend my police officers. Okay,
that's not political if you're smart. So anyway, the other issue here is on this travel and this goes back to the hypocrisy of the progressives. We've got a story up. You know, Commission Mattlow likes to trash the Chamber, the Chambers of Commerce, and the Chamber is you know, they're back on their heels and what they've done is they've allowed these progressives to brand them. But the Chamber of
Commerce is a group of a thousand businesses. Most of the businesses are small businesses, nonprofits who are trying to do right by the community, make a living, and they're being trashed by these progressives. They have this annual community conference and I understand people roll their eyes. All these wealthy guys are going over to Emilia Island, you know,
to talk about things. It's not the wealthy guys. These are like mom and pop businesses that are going over there to create relationships, to do business, to create jobs.
They network together and they also get some access to the elected officials to voice their construction.
And you hear what the problems are.
You going to hear some elected officials?
Right, And the thing is is again, you know, Commission Mattlow trashes the chamber and it's like this is some you know again, some elite group. They're Democrats going over there there. You know, you've got people from the school board, you got Alison Tant who's a Democrat representative. Here goes to the chamber. And but where do these progressives go. They can't take a two and a half hour trip
to Milia to talk about talleass issues. But they'll travel to Miami to go climate change agenda, which is me Matlow, city paid for. Jack Porter will travel to these local progress competions, city paid for. David O'Keeffe will go to Lanta to learn how to get progressives elected. Okay, but they don't have time for a Tallahassee focused conference. It's again, as you can hear my voice, it is unbelievable to me.
Well, in the case of Jack Porter, some of it were not sure where who paid for it, or it certainly wasn't the city.
The city paid for about half of it, and then she had another group pay the rest of it, which she did not report, which is obviously the subject of complaint.
Right More to come sixteen passed the Hour with Steve Stewart. Steve Stewart with Me, Executive Editor Tallahassee Reports. To those of you listening across the Fruited Plain and communities large and small, learn from us, seriously, learn from us. It can happen where you live if it's not happening already. One story that is getting a lot of talk is, you know, it has been a decisive issue sadly for a lot of conservative Republican listeners of this show in
the local races. Well, Jeremy and Jack voted against the property tax increase, and that's all people seem to care about, not understanding the bigger, broader issues.
Well, you know, this is a story. You see a smile on my face that I love because it's like it's one of these things where you The theory is they voted against the tax increase because it involved law enforcement. And before that commission reporter actually brought up, we need, you know, we need to look at raising property taxes
because we need more of these services. And then when she found out that it was well, actually, you know, we are going to raise property taxes and we're going to spend the nine million on new police officers and law enforcement technology, and all of a sudden, she's a fiscal conservative and so it's a theory, right, But so now here we come up with the campaign because they never say, they never, they won't talk to me. So you ask them, will do you support more police officers?
They won't say, and nobody will ask them. Well, you know, because they protect Jack Porter. And so it's so satisfying when you find something that just completely you know, exposes them as what they are. They're frauds because they don't tell you what they believe. And so WCTV interviewed Jack Porter two years ago. Well, no, I guess a year and a half ago on the tax increase, and they asked her, and I'm going to read right from the WCTV story again this year and a half ago the
Porter said. They said Porter does not believe more police officers will have an impact on crime. And in response to comments by Curtis Richardson that they're going to be spending the money on law enforcement, Porter told WCTV, quote in Quarter's words, there's so much that we know that is leading to that increase in crime, and I don't believe the police budget or the police are quipped to
handle it in the best way. I think I'll turn this would be investing in our housing, investing in social services, investing in mental health services, all.
The things Andrew Gillham wanted to do and did and failed. And so the point here, now you have a campaign.
You've got this politician going out and saying, you know, saying things about the property taxes. I voted against the property tax three times, and you have no media.
Here's the quote.
Now we've got it up in a story. Yes it's getting traction, all right, but we have no media saying, wait a minute, you voted against it, but you spoke in favor of it, You spoke in favor of spending more money on social service. So actually you're voting against law enforcement. But they won't say that. And so that's why you have a media, though, is you're supposed to be transparent, make the politicians transparent what they actually believe in,
what the record says. I mean, you don't see Curtis Richardson going around saying he didn't vote for the tax increase. What he's saying, yes, I did it was a small tax increase. We had to have more law enforcement because violent crime was out of control. That's his position, and it's it jives with the record, It's consistent with the record. Commissioner Porter not so much. And this is again gets back to the whole point of why the local media news desert. Okay, when you don't ask there is I
don't know what else to call it. I mean, we're reporting both sides of everything, right, we report, Yes, Curtis Richard voted for a tax increase. No, commission Porter is not a physical conservative. She actually wants to move money from law enforcements to social services. Which is fine, but just say it and let's vote. Own it, own it, and let's see where we are. Don't try to fool people.
The reason why she can't do that is because across the county and within the city limits, law enforcement matters. The community is being impacted the most by violent crime and shootings, which are up. They want more law enforcement, right, I don't think.
I think most people and I believe that law more law enforcement will is a deterrent to some crime. There's no doubt about it. Look, the point that we've got to deal with systemic problems of poverty and stuff and education, there's no doubt about that. But you got to do both. You can't move resources from law enforcement. They tried it in Oakland. They moved. They moved fifty million dollars out four years ago. Three years ago.
How'd that work out?
Two hundred California Highway patrolman had to be set to Oakland because of the carjackings and the friggin robberies that they were having.
And so now it's so it's the it's the equivalent of declaring a gun free zone where crime is rampant.
And so now we've got this guy from California, San Francisco, Palo Alto, sending twenty five thousand dollars to Jeremy Mattlow because these guys want Tallhassee to look more like Oakland, Portland, San Francisco.
There's no way around it. What I mean, which are dumpster fires? They are?
And for them to deny that that's what they want, I mean, everything is pointing in that direction. Now, it's just I mean, it is. But again, the local media, it'd be interesting to see if they.
Even report on this. Methinks that the next forum that Jack porter's taking part in. She might get asked some questions. She's funny.
You should mention that she's supposed to be at NIBA on Tuesday. We'll see, we'll see if it comes up.
Yeah, I suspect it might be the only place where these forums are taking place where some more direct questions without protection are going to happen. Yes, and we'll report on that. That's just before the election. It'll be interesting, all right, Thank you, Thank you, Preston, Steve Stewart, tell
us your report. Subscribe Tallahassee Reports dot com. Twenty seven past the hour the Morning Show at Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven w have LA thirty five past the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Just a few little odds and ends. And this will be something that will continue to see in the coming weeks and months as we get to the general election.
You're gonna here's my prediction, Kamala Harris is going to be in full retreat because the military record of Tim Walls is now going to be exposed, and he's going to be exposed as guilty of stolen valor, of lying about his rank, lying about carrying a weapon in military in war quote war. His military stuff is gonna really be a problem for him. But that's just the beginning. We're just scratching the surface of this guy. Kamala is going to not put herself out there to take many
questions to do. She will only be in friendly circumstances when it comes to taking questions from the media, doing any kind of interviews away from a script and scripted answers. She's a train wreck and we all know this, right. I mean, I don't need to play any more audio of her, do I But I want to take a second here and drill down on Tim Walls again. I don't know if Jose's ever heard of Tiaoman Square. Oh yeah. Walls is first of all, he's sick of fan of
g He loves China, loves China. China is overjoyed at the prospect of a Tim Walls as vice president because they'll have another guy in their pocket like they had with Joe Biden, only Walls more so because Walls literally idolizes worships China. Do you realize and this isn't just me conjuring up something. Tim Walls has openly opined on why he got married on June fourth because it is the anniversary of the massacre at Tianaman Square. How sick and twisted is that? Those are his words? You can
look it up. He got married because it's the anniversary of tianum and Square. He chose that date with his absurd wife to commemorate the massacre of freedom scene Chinese citizens. Oh my god. And he calls Republicans weird and gets people to laugh. There's nothing funny about Tim Walls. Nothing I'm gonna repeat. He's a liar. He's a lunatic. Policy wise, he's a lunatic. I will detail. Look, I got family lives in Minnesota. I will detail Tim Walls's record is governor,
what he believes, how he's governed. He's nuts. And oh, by the way, the Harris Walls campaign site not one policy position or platform, not one. When we come back, we're going to talk about your kids going back to school and feeling healthy through the school year. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Well.
The kid Owts are going back to school and it's a human Petri dish in our schools and joining us to talk about getting your kids as healthy as possible in staying that way. Doctor Matthew's adaman in our Optimum Health Natural segment with North Florida Spying Wellness, which, oh, by the way, voted number one in Tallahassee as the best alternative care facility. Good morning there, Zatam And how are you, sir.
I'm great, Preston, how are you doing.
I'm doing well. Yeah, it's kind of uh, you throw them out there and you know they're going to be exposed to every single thing in the world at school. So how do we keep our kiddos healthy?
Well, you know, I've really identified about four different categories where you can you know, really focus on doing that and not just immune support, not just physical health, but mental health. You know, anxiety has gone crazy and kids not to mention now, believe it or not, one in six kids have a developmental disorder and that's really kind of an alarming number. But yeah, when we go into
the fall, I mean, yes, it's a Petrie dish. This is when all the upper respiratory viruses are coming out, the flu, covid, just common cold, and what we've known for a long time is probably the most important and effective nutrient to help prevent those infections or at least less than their severity.
It's just planel Vitamin D.
Now, I really like to get vitamin D in this application through cod liver oil because there's a natural ratio of vitamin A and vitamin D which actually acts very anti viral. So I know, cod liver oil sounds a little growth to take, and kids they're not going to take it, but you know, you can do it through
capsule version. There's like we use a version that's kind of like a cream sickle flavor and it's got a little extra vitamin D to it, so it's really not that hard to get in them, and it's it's actually really really effective. So I you know, usually two thousand to five thousand units a day really kind of depends on their current level. So I do recommend you know, having your pediatrician check where those vitamin D levels are at. Zinc and vitamin C are also really good for general
immune support. Usually about ten milligrams of zinc is effective, Vitamin C maybe a thousand milligrams, two thousand milligrams. You just want to be careful how high you go because you can get some upset stomach issues. The next category is diet. Kids eat way too much processed foods. I know kids are picky minor seven and ten, I get it, but at the very much, at the very least, try to get some protein in them in the morning. Try to limit those processed foods and avoid those artificial dyes
and colors. I mean, there's been lots of studies linking that to ADHD hyperactivity, So that's really important. The next category is sleep. You know, believe it or not, you can live longer without food than you can without sleep. Sleep is when your body goes to heal, when it goes to recover. It's also part of how our brains develop. And really kids should be getting about nine to twelve hours of sleep, and studies have shown that not only
kids who get more sleep, but get consistent sleep. And so what I mean by that they're having like a routine, you know, routine bedtime. They do better academically, So really important to have that routine. I always thought my mom was a tyrant for making me go to bed for missing stuff at night, and only now do I realize the benefits to all that.
Okay, now, the last category.
Is probably the most important, and it's physical activity. You know, we don't have recess and pe as much as we used to, and kids don't move like they should. We don't really realize that in order for the brain to grow and develop and need two things sensory input from the environment and movement. So if kids don't move, their brains aren't going to develop. So I really encourage, you know, parents to get their kids moving in some sort of sport,
martial arts, dance, whatever it is. You know, when I was a kid in school, I'm being that person now. We used to have them called the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, and so there was a standard number of sit ups, push ups, pull ups that kids their age should be able to. Do. So if nothing else, those those norms are still available. Get on Google look those up, and if nothing else, get your kids to make those marks.
You see, if they can do those levels of physical activity, that's really really important.
Good stuff, great tips, Doctors Ataman, thanks so much. Hopefully the kids will get the word from moms and dads listening and we'll have some healthier kids this year. Let's do it siate the time. Doctor, Thanks for having me. Doctor Matthews Adaman with US Optimum Health Naturally with North Florida spying wellness. And it's forty six minutes after the.
Hour being told what to believe by the liberal media. Get a refreshing dose of truth. It's the Morning Show with Trustan Scott's on news Radio one hundred point seven doubled.
Do you have.
La next hour? Jason Snead Honest elections project, Lots of questions about whether or not we will have one, whether we did have one, I personally don't think we did in twenty twenty, but we'll talk about that and more. Got some email questions that will fire away. We've got a road trip idea in just a few minutes. But first you might know the names Simone Biles. US women's gymnastics right, Sunny Lee, Jordan Childs, Jade Carey, Heslei Rivera won the team gold in Paris. But did you know
about Beacon? Huh? Have you heard about Beacon? It would appear that for the last year and some change, the American gymnastics team has had Beacon, a four year old golden retriever, helping their serotonin and stress levels stay in check. Now they've had an emotional therapy dog travel with him. It's kind of an interesting story. The dog is owned by Tracy Calahan Muhlner, former Rhythmic Gymnastics Coast coach. She says, he picked up on the stress and we'll pull to
that person immediately. Whichever the gymnasts is stressed out. He goes to that person. He likes swimming, hiking, dislike Celery. I just think that's kind of cool. He's an adorable dog. But then goldens are I just think Golden Retrievers are just like the best. They've just got the best temperament. They're funny, they're smart, they're the expressions on their face. Just I had a Golden Retriever mix and she was
the best dog I ever had. But who knew. Unsung hero of the Olympics for the gymnastics team is a very good boy, a very good dog. Road trip. As you're traveling across the Fruited Plain, we turn to our source, Unique America, A Strange on usual and just playing fun a trip through America. It's a book you can get on Amazon. It's an awesome book, and it's got suggestions for a little out of the way places you probably have never heard of. Had you ever heard of Nebraska's
answer to Stonehenge. It's called Carhinge. It's a thing carhnge dot com c A r h E n g e dot com. I mean on the website, play your visit, pitstop, gift shop and it's it's actually it's cars that are positioned the same way Stonehenge is. It's hilarious. Now Stonehenge might be like Druid worship. I have you know, I've not spent a whole lot of time spending precious moments figuring all that out. I don't really care. But what
is interesting about this is it is a thing. It's a circle of thirty eight cars planted and balanced upon each other to replicate Stonehenge. It's, I guess, part Druid, part Detroit. What I also didn't know is that there are other Hinges in America. That one is in Alliance, Nebraska, so you can you can look that up. But there is in Topeka, Kansas Truckhnge Trucks, and then Foam Hange in Natural Bridge, Virginia, and so there's there are different options.
But but I'm zeroing in on on Carhnge. So if you're looking for a different kind of road trip, there you go. It's it's available to you, and you know, explore attractions they've got. They've got the car Henge, They've got the Night Museum in sand Hills Center, nearby, Dobby's, Frontier Town, Central Park, Fountain, the Skyview golf Course. There's all kinds of things in the area. So it would seem that you can you can make a trip out
of it. So the point of these segments is we have a lot of people that are that listen to the show, truck drivers and the like traveling the country and if you get a chance and you're in near Alliance, Nebraska, here you go. Here's something different to do off the beaten path. That's what we specialize on here, road trip side road trips, road trip suggestions. Here in the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. All right, we are ready for the third hour next don't leave us morning friends, ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls only, males and females. That's it here, folks, Welcome to the Morning Show with Prestin' SCTY. Good morning, It's Thursday, August eighth. Great to be with you. Show fivey two hundred and eleven. That's Hose over there running the radio program. And I am Preston Scott thrilled to have with us new friend because
he's a friend of a friend. Jason Snead is executive director of the Honest Elections Project and joins us this morning. Jason, how are you a friend?
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on.
The program, my pleasure. Let's give everybody just kind of a quick overview, a macro view of the Honest Elections Project. You know, where was this birth? Why was this birth? Tell me about it its origination.
Well, we've been around for about five years, and the entire idea behind the Honest Elections Project is that American citizens need a voice for them, not someone pushing an ideology, but someone fighting for their right to vote and free
and fair elections. And so over the last few years, we've used every tool at our disposal, from advocacy to policy work to litigation, to advance the basic idea that it should be easy to vote, in part to cheap, because there are very large and deep pocketed special interests that are intent on getting rid of all of the rules, all of the safeguards that keep our elections from turning into chaos, and that bring confidence to lots of in public,
So we're always working to promote public confidence and elections, which it turns out actually is the best way to promote voting in the first place.
What define easy, because I think that becomes almost a little bit of a political football depending on who's talking about it.
Well, you know, I want to I want to make it easy to vote for anybody that is eligible to cast the ballot. But the times in this debate about what kind of voting rules do we want, there are a lot of people, particularly on the political left, who don't want it to be easy. They want it to be effortless. They don't want you to have to register, they don't want you to have to request the mail ballot. They almost don't even want you to have to fill
out about right. So there's this distinction between what most people think, which is we should have reasonable rules, reasonable safeguards, but it doesn't have to be effortless. And then there are other people that say, if there is so much as a crack in the sidewalk between a voter and casting a ballot, that is voter suppression. We think there need to be reasonable rules. So as we say we want it to be easy to vote, but we also want it to be hard to achieve.
Jason Snead is the executive director of something called the Honest Elections Project. Jason, if I were to ask, I mean, you mentioned that this was this group is five years old. That places it ahead of the twenty twenty election in and of itself white form in twenty nineteen, what was it, I mean, did you suspect that we might have issues in the twenty twenty election.
Well, we thought the twenty twenty election was going to be one of the most litigious elections in history, and we were right. Now. Of course, we didn't predict COVID
being one of the big disruptors. But in every election cycle going back about a decade before twenty twenty, groups on the left and the Democratic Party itself had filed more and more lawsuits going to courts trying to get activist judges to essentially act as super lawmakers and rewrite the rules of our elections for their own political games.
So we wanted to step into that fray, anticipating that in twenty twenty was so much on the line that they were going to basically take this massive funding engine that they had assembled that was directed towards lawfare and use it to try to disrupt elections in ways that
the voting public would not countenance. And so we wanted to make sure again that the public had a voice in this fight, and that courts were hearing from groups like ours that were going to point out that, hey, the Constitution says that our election laws, like any law, are supposed to be written by the people we elect to make laws, not unelected judges, and that the partisan groups should not be able to change the rules of elections, change the rules of the democratic process in the middle
of voting, any more than an umpire should be able to change the definition of balls and strikes and the seventh ending of a baseball game that we formed ahead of that, and then COVID happened, and we were off to the races far far earlier that election year than
we could have ever imagined. But that year alone, we had over two hundred lawsuits filed from groups that were aligned with the left, trying to change voting laws, get rid of voter ID, get rid of all of those basic safeguards allow unlimited to vote, afficking a collection by party activists, and so forth. They were trying to fundamentally change the rules of our election, and we were engaged in court battles all year long along with other groups
that were trying to defend the law. Again, because we the people elect lawmakers to make our laws, and we expect those laws to be honored and followed from the beginning of an election to the end, and not be written or rewritten for partisan game.
Jason Snead with the Honest Elections Project. Our guest more to come here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Thought or story you want to share, write them at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes, he knows how to read. Well, actually, as producer reads him, he doesn't know how to read. It's The Morning Show with President Scott. Twelve past the Hour.
Jason Snead with US Honest Elections Project. Jason was twenty twenty and Honest Election.
Well, there were a lot of things that went wrong with the twenty twenty election. You know you had I mentioned before the break two hundred lawsuits that were filed from groups aligned with the left and allies of the
Democratic Party, rewriting voting rules on the fly. Sometimes it was almost as if states were going into an election with a completely rewritten election code that had been developed by judges and in many cases had actually been developed by Democratic Party lawyers suing Democratic secretaries of state and then just reaching a handshake agreement what we call a consent decree to change you know, whole swots of election laws.
And then you had Zutbucks, which was the infusion of almost hand a billion dollars that was given by Mark Zuckerberg to two liberal nonprofits, and they went in and they gave out all of that money disproportionately to places that wound up voting for Joe Biden the election. So if you were if you were in a in urban blue county, you would get five, six, sometimes even ten
dollars from this group per voter in your county. But if you were living in a rural red kind that up voting for Donald Trump, you would get a buckler less per voter. So there were these huge disparities, and those funds were used to drive turnout, and of course, if you're driving turnout in predominantly blue areas, you can do the numbers and you can see the sort of impact that might have on any election. So there were lots of things that were incredibly unprecedented about twenty twenty.
So that's why my group has been leading the charge in states across the country, including in Florida, working with allies to try to improve and tighten up our election laws so that we don't have a repeat of twenty twenty, so that we bring back those safeguards that were taken away during the COVID election, and so that we ultimately make an election system which is going to do what
most voters want, which is work. You know, when you're inventing rules on the fly, when you're changing laws and procedures, that's a recipe for confusion for everybody, from election officials all the way down to the voter who's casting about and the end of the day, voters just want elections that are clear, transparent, that deliver clear results, and that
do that on election night. And so we've been working all over the country to try to get new laws passed that improve the process and ultimately respect the will of voters so that hopefully we don't have a repeat of twenty twenty. But we can already see some of the signs that some of the things like zuck Bucks and the law there are getting ready to start up again this year.
We've got about a minute left in this segment. We got a third segment to go with Jason Snead Honest Elections Project. Jason, so you've been paying attention to what state legislatures have been doing. We saw in twenty twenty because of COVID it didn't really matter what laws were in certain states. Courts ruled however they wanted to be. They became active as courts. So if I were to ask you give me your confidence level on twenty twenty four, where would it be.
Well, I think that we are in a better spot than we were in twenty twenty, There's no doubt. But there is sort of a geographic element to this. If you live in a place like Florida, your laws are better than they were in twenty twenty by a mile and a half. If you live in a place like Nevada, however,
your laws are worth by an even greater measure. And there are a lot of places Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to your point, where they have state supreme courts that are willing to act as parts and activist courts and rewrite voting laws. We've already seen that with the Wisconsin Supreme courts just a couple of months ago deciding that they want drop boxes, so they rewrote the law and brought
drop boxes back to the state of Wisconsin. So there's a little bit of the geographic element here, but there are a lot of states like Georgia to like Florida, Lake Texas that have improved their laws, and I think overall we're in a better place than we were twenty twenty more.
With Jason Steed next as the Morning Show with President Scott continues service, what kind of role do they play with so much mail in balloting taking place?
Well, with so much mail voting going on in elections these days, you know your mailman is more important than ever and they're almost an election worker in the sense that they're carrying so many ballots. You know, it's it's an important function anytime you're carrying even a single ballot. But obviously, you know even more so now there are some concerning reports about delays in the postal service, and I think that we might be covering that here too.
But you know, there's always been problems with relying on the postal service to transmit your valid and there's a lot of skepticism and I think reasonable skepticism from the public since it's often difficult to track your vote to make sure that for your mail in ballot was actually received or counted, and there's problems with mail in voting in general.
Right.
A lot of states have laws, for instance, to say, but you can request a mail ballot as soon as two or three days before the election. But here's the kicker. It takes at least two weeks, according to the Postal Service itself, for you to basically do a round trip
through the mail. So that means that if you are submitting a request to vote by mail three days before the election, but the Postal Service is saying you should allot fifteen days at least for a ballot to be sent to that voter and then for that ballot to be returned to state officials, you're setting that are up for failure. So there's lots of problems like that with state laws dealing with mail and voting. And then of course there's the potential or errors that wind up getting
your ballots spoiled and thrown out. There's the potential for vote trafficking, which is where parties and political operatives to go door to door and quote unquote help voters. That's a recipe for potential fraud, coercion, intimidation, and disenfranchisement. We've seen that in plenty of places. In North Carolina. There was even a congressional election that was thrown out because of why it's spread, tampering with ballots using that very process.
So there's lots of issues. And then, of course the postal service delays that we're reading about only exacerbate these problems, which I think is why Americans overall are much more prone to vote in person, whether earlier on election day, than they are to vote by mail.
Have we made it too easy to vote?
I don't think that we've made it necessarily too easy to vote writ large, but there are certainly states that have gone a little bit too far in that direction, and they have gone more towards the voting should be effortless side of the equation. If you look at the laws in California, if you look at the laws in Nevada,
other states that you all vote by mail. These are states where as soon as you get a driver's license, you're automatically registered to vote, so you don't have to so much just slip the finger to register to vote. You don't have to request the ballot. A ballot is sent to you automatically. These are states that will legalize unlimited, unregulated vote trafficking. So someone will come to your door when you get your ballot, assuming of course, your voter
at the right political persuasion. They will come to the door. They will help you fill out your ballot. They will collect your ballots so you don't even have to bother returning it or putting so much as a stamp on a mail ballot, and then they'll take it off your hands and turn it in. They've made voting almost effortless, and that, in my opinion, is too far in the wrong direction. We have to think of the right to
vote as essentially too rights. You have the right to cast a ballot if you are an eligible, lawful citizen and a lawful voter, But you also have the right to a secure election right, which is why we always say we want to make it easy to vote but
also hard to cheat. It's a two sided coin. And when you get rid of all of the rules that prevent cheating, when you get rid of all of the safeguards that give confidence, and you focus exclusively on the access side of this equation, which is what the left does. Then you wind up creating an election system which is chaotic and which people don't trust, and that actually deters people from voting in the first place. So there are certainly specific states that have gone too far in the
wrong direction. But if you look at what states like Florida have done, if you look at what Texas has done, Georgia, Ohio, and other red states, they've enacted a whole host of laws that have kept voting easy and also make sure that it's hard to cheat, and that it turns out if you look at polling data, is what the overwhelming majority of Americans want. In fact, here's a stat for you.
You would think the voter ID, as politically toxic as it is according to the left, is some fringe thing, and yet today almost ninety of Americans think that you
should have to show a photo ID. So this is one of those things where the left is taking the position of you know, we're going to make so much noise, we're going to attack anybody that talks about these things because we're a cornered animal, and we know that we are out of step with the vast majority of Americans, So we don't want to have a conversation because if we do, we'll lose. We need to make sure that Americans are getting an election system that they want, an
election system they can trust. And it looks a lot like the one that you got in Florida or other right states.
Jason, I had more questions, but we're out of time. Brother, that one took a minute, So let me just ask in closing, and I need almost a one word to answer. Do you trust any system, any voting system that involves dominion.
I think that we've got a lot of improvements to make in our election system. I think the electronic tabulation is good, but I think that we need to have handmarked paper ballots personally.
Thanks so much for the time, Jason. Jason snead with us this morning Honest Elections Project on The Morning Show with Preston Scott Show with Preston Scott.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
On News Radio one point seven double UFLA.
Share this in the first hour of the program. Want to share it again? Here a big stories in the press box. Tim Walls, the vice presidential nominee for the Dems is mocking JD Vance at a rally for attending Yale University. Really okay, like all.
Regular people I grew up with in the heartland, jd studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a best seller trashing that community. Come on, that's not what Middle America is.
And I gotta tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy.
He clapped for himself on that one. I can't wait for it either. But let's just let's let's take that apart a little bit. So for a guy to come out of abject poverty better himself and decide that he wanted to go to Yale and Yale Law School, that now is something to deride him for. We're making fun of that. And and then what Silicon He was a successful businessman and became because of that. He's now making fun of that, and that he somehow can't relate to
Middle America because he successfully navigated through his poverty. His challenge is documented in the book Kill Billy Elegy, And so we're gonna make fun of him for that. Reporter asks JD. Vance for his response.
Well, Look, I came from a family where nobody in my family had ever gone to law school.
I was, I grew up in a poor family.
The fact that Tim Waltz wants to turn it into a bad thing that I actually worked myself through college, through law school and made something myself. To me, that's the American dream. And if Tim Waltz wants to insult it, I think that's frankly pretty bizarre. Now, look what really bothers me about Tim Waltz. It's not even the positions that he's taken, though certainly he has been a far
left radical. You know what really bothers me about Tim Waltz as a marine who served his country in uniform when the United States Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country.
I did it.
I did what they asked me to do it, and I did it honorably, and I'm very proud of that service. When Tim Waltz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did. He dropped out of the army and allowed his unit to go without him, a fact that he's been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the people that he served with. I think it's shameful to prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a promise that you're going to follow through, and then to drop out right.
Before you actually have to go.
I also think it's dishonest something Again, if you guys ever get an opportunity to ask Tim Waltz or Kamala Harris some questions, he made this interesting comment that the Kamala Harris campaign put out there, and I bet they were regretting they put it out there now because he said that we and he was making a point about gun control. He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets. Well, I wondered, Tim Waltz, when were you ever in war? Was this
weapon that you carried into war? Given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq and he has not spent a day in a combat zone. What bothers me about Tim Waltz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something that you're not. And if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy League education, I'm proud of the fact that my Mamma supported me, that I was able to make something of myself. I'd be ashamed if I was him and I lied about my military service like he did.
And oh, by the way, he lied about his service. He's also lied about his rank. It's on his bio, it's on Kamala's website about him. He's a liar. And this is one of those lies that you can't fudge because the Minnesota National Guard clarified his rank and he's been bragging about a different rank, and some people are gonna, oh, well, what's that. Oh, there's a big difference inside the military.
There's about a two year difference inside the military from what he claimed he achieved and what he actually achieved. See when Tim Walls quit and did not live up to the promise he made to his his his comrades in arms that he was going to go with them, he bragged about it. He said, you know, when your numbers called, when your name's called, you got to go. And then he didn't. He didn't do that. Other people had to step up and go fight in his place.
We're just scratching the surface, and I'm not sure that Kamala and her team really vetted Tim Walls forty minutes past the hour, come back with some health news here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott at the Times report here, nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed. With dementia on the increase, it would seem that if you can identify factors that can either eliminate
it or delay it, that'd be pretty important. I mean, right now, you got fifty seven million people around the world estimated to have the problem. Listen to this. That number is expected to nearly triple in the next twenty five years. That means if it's just going to exponentially explode like that by a factor of three times, there have to be things happening that contribute to the existence
of the condition. There were twelve existing risk factors and now there are two new ones that could prevent or delayed dementia. The two new risk factors are vision loss and get this, having high low density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol. Now,
the previous factors include less education. In that interesting, less education contributes to a greater risk of having dementia, hearing loss, depression, traumatic brain injury, physical inactivity, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, show isolation, and air pollution, and some of these risk factors inside this study play a greater contributing role in early life rather than later life, meaning the
damage gets done. You know, I knew about the hearing thing. I work with a client in Panama City, Jody Dillon with the Audobeil Hearing Center and Audibell's done just an extensive amount of research and Jody works of patients all the time to help them with their hearing loss. And oh, by the way, don't go to a big box store to address that issue. That is like, yeah, Ralph in electrics in electronics is going to be your go to
for hearing aids. Ralph was. Ralph was working in UH home home cleaning supplies just a few weeks before and he's heading to automotive next and he's gonna be your
go to for for hearing devices. Don't do that. But the the research is out there that because hearing loss leads to isolation, because people that are struggling with their hearing tend to really withdraw from interactions because they just don't want the hassle of the interaction and the struggle of communicating, and so they just tend to withdraw, and
so one leads to the other. And so if you're like if you're if you're if you're someone working with like lawn equipment engines, Uh, you're out on the water a lot on jet skis and so forth. Man, you gotta you gotta do that hearing protection thing. It Uh, it will make a difference. Treating depression makes a difference. You get a good education and you engage cognitively in
activities and so forth, that improves your life. It connects dots, and that's where doctor Zatoan was talking last hour about educator about about PE activity. It helps kids connect their brain to their movements, hand eye coordination, all that stuff. It gets developed through those actions. So don't let your kids check out in middle school and high school from PE and so forth. Get them out there doing it. Doesn't matter if they want to or not. You're paying
the bills. Get them out there. They'll thank you later. So yeah, smoking, no brainer, low hanging fruit on that one. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. There are factors there that you can you can absolutely marshal and take care of and reduce dramatically your risk of having dementia or delaying it if if you're kind of fighting that concern
or fear. Forty seven minutes after the hour, we come back a special edition of Animal Stories tomorrow on the program What's the Bee Friday Best and Worst of the week. Good news headlines from the Bee will tell you more about the policies the governance of tim walls. But first.
In the wild or in our homes, we love them critters large and small. Time for another edition of Animal Stories on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Noah Carberg of Nantucket spent the day fishing. After fishing all day, stopped at a stopping shop, quoting, I was in a fishing shirt, board shorts, no pockets. He placed his phone in walla in the tray on top of his shopping cart. He's loading his groceries into his truck. I take the last couple of bags around to the back seat, come back around and there's a seagull sitting on the cart right in front of me. He grabs my wallet and flies off. The seagull took the guy's wallet.
He's now videotaping the bird lands on the roof of a building nearby, pulls all his cash out, cash goes flying. Carl said it was like a gull with an agenda, tossed the cash and went straight for my MX. He then videotapes the bird flying off with his wallet gone. His money's taken away by the wind. He has no wallet and it's gone. He's put a he's putting a hilarious picture up, a wanted poster of a seagull, and he's asking anybody that finds his wallet please return it.
He doesn't care about the cash, if there's any left. He just wants his ID and stuff, and he's offering a reward. But man, that's just epic.
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the morning show on on WFLA. Wouldn't want it to happen to me?
No, no, nope, nope, nope, not me. Our verse today Hebrews ten. We went nineteen through twenty three. That's where we started. Today radio program, Big Stories in the press box, Kamala's website, no policy positions, no platform, nothing, We'll tell you what's on there. Tomorrow talked about Tim Wallas, the governor of Minnesota, who is an absolute train wreck. See the other forty nine states don't really care. Minnesotan's put this guy in office. Would they return him? I don't know.
Some would. His positions are extreme. I think they are evil, and I think he's categorically batcrap crazy. I think he's a lunatic. He's also a liar that is demonstrable. Can't sue me on that one, because I can prove it. Jd Vance responding appropriately as you would hope. Tampa Bay Times cutting a fifth of its workforce, Axios cutting fifty positions. Isn't that interesting? Traditional legacy and new online all suffering the same problem. What do they have in common? Their
uber libs? That interesting? Tomorrow we'll chea it up and do it again. It's the Friday edition. Don't you dare miss it. Have a great day.
