We need to hear that beat. It's time to rock and roll. Good morning, Good morning to you, and good morning to YouTube.
Welcome friends to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston, He's Jose and we thank you ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and females, one and all.
Thank you very much for joining us.
As always this morning on the radio program, we will try to make good use of your time. We start, as always, we'll get to this date in the history, August the thirteenth and moments, but we start with scripture. And you may recall this entire segment began as we reflected on June seventeenth, nineteen sixty three, when the Supreme Court said, Nay, nay, you may not read scriptures to students. And while it's sad, the reality is, moms and dads, you should. You are the ones that should be spending
time every day with your children. In God's word, what are you communicating if you don't you feed them every day? I mean you do feed them every day, right. You make sure they wipe their little bums, You make sure they take a bath or a shower. You make sure they're doing their homework. But what's supposed to be the most important thing in one's life, their relationship with God. You're not modeling that for them. That one hurts, doesn't it right? That one stings a little bit?
I get it. You see, we're here to help. We give you a verse or two or three or four.
And we say, use this if you don't have anything else to go to, use this. This is kind of a kickstarter. We'll pull on the cord, a little start of the engine.
Huh. And so we do this to arm you and encourage you to do this each and every morning with your children. You're ahead of your kids if you're up right.
Now, chances are I mean, okay, you might have a kid or two that's like, you know, a high school kid that's up and getting ready, But you know what I mean, you're ahead of them here, all right. And if you want bring them to the radio, I'll do it. But it's better if you do it. Ephesians four thirty two. The verses I'm selecting for the next couple of weeks are designed to be scriptures to speak into your kid Ephesians four thirty two. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. If there is a thought that you could boil down, an ideal that you could boil down into a simple expression, be kind.
Huh. Be kind?
Tell your children to model kindness, and if somebody does something dumb, extend forgiveness because we have been forgiven no grudges. Grudges is the fertile ground of bullying. We don't need bullying. Ricky Carmichael every year post messages. Don't bully. Be the one that extends kindness, Like what scripture says, be kind. Ten minutes past the hour. It's a good way to start the show. I think, by God, let's stick big Inside the American Patriots Almanac.
Next on news Radio one hundred point seven WUSLA.
Inside the American Patriots Almanac for the five and fourteenth show of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's August thirteenth. See what we got here.
Seventeen eighty four.
US Congress meets for the final time in Annapolis, Maryland, a temporary capital after the Revolutionary War.
I didn't know that they met in Annapolis.
I mean, I've read this how many times over the years, right, I mean every now and then it'll fall on a weekend or something. But I mean and so clearly I've not retained the knowledge on that little Factoried eighteen sixty. Today's the birthday of sharpshooter Annie Oakley born Phoebe Ann Moses in eighteen sixty in a cabin in Dark County, Ohio. She took her first shot at age eight, quoting one of the best shots I ever made, and soon began
shooting rabbits to help feed her destitute family. Around age fifteen, she started shooting game for a nearby grocer who sold it to hotels, sured enough to pay off the mortgage of her widowed mother's house. When expert marksman Frank Butler passed through the area, Annie entered a shooting match against him. I almost dropped dead when the little slim girl in short dresses stepped out to mark with me. Butler recalled the each shot at twenty five pigeons. Butler hit twenty four.
Annie hit all twenty five right then and there. I decided, if I could get that girl, I would do it. They courted and married. She adopted the stage name Annie Oakley. They performed together in shooting exhibitions. Buffalo Bill hired them for his Wild West show. Crowds lined up to see her shoot the flame off a distant candle, the heart off the ace of hearts. She shot apples from her husband's head, the ashes off cigarettes in his mouth. Sometimes
she shot backward, looking into a mirror. The Sioux Chief Sitting Bull called her a little sure shot admired her so much that he adopted her. When touring in Europe, Germany's Crown Prince the future Kaiser Wilhelm invited to shoot a cigarette out of his mouth. She demurred, but did shoot a cigarette out of his hand. The Broadway musical Annie, Get Your Gun with Songs by Irving Berlin, is based on Annie Oakley's life. Will Rogers called her the greatest
rifle shot the world has ever produced. Nobody took her place.
There was only one, so there you go.
Born on this day in eighteen sixty, nineteen eighteen, Opha May Johnson becomes the first woman to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve nineteen sixty. On this date, the first two way telephone conversation by satellite takes place via the balloon satellite echo.
One balloon cell got out of here, and.
In nineteen eighty one, President Reagan signs a package of tax and budget reductions that mark a historic change in the direction for the federal government, which lasted eight years seven and it's grown ever since. We'll talk about that this morning on the program Today. Normally we've got Justin Haskins on the second Tuesday of the month. Justin unable to join us this morning. He'll be back with us next month. But we are not short of things to
talk about. We got a manly minute this morning. We will talk about the Olympics. There are so many interesting stories that happened during and as a result of and some of them are kind of funny, some of them are kind of sad, some of them are alarming, and so we're gonna chronicle all of that, look back at snapshot at the sixteen days, and money talk this morning. Howard Heisman will join us as well. Sixteen past the hour. It is the Morning Show with Preston.
Scott my Hearts Radio station twenty one minutes past the hour.
You know, yesterday I went back in the time machine, the way back machine, and recalled conversations I had with an author named Grant Jeffrey and some of you, there's a few of you that probably know Grant's writing.
And my conversation about the Ark of the Covenant.
And how the Israelis he claimed that an Israeli military captain who was a source for him told them that told him that they have the arc. And it's a fascinating proposition that it's not sitting in a warehouse in Washington, d C. Somewhere or in Virginia after Indiana Jones rescued it. And here's the thing we talked about, the fact that
there was a practice. There's a photo of it right here, a group of Israelis pictured practicing the ritual of the red heifer, which is meant to herald the building of a new temple. According to Jewish tradition, the ashes of a perfectly read heifer cow are needed for the ritual purification that would allow a third temple to be built in Jerusalem. Some groups say it has to be built where the Dome of the Rock is. Others say no,
it can be built adjacent to it. Others say no, it's never going to happen, and those would be the Islamis that no, it's never going to happen. That it would start a nuclear war. Here's what's left out of
the story. To do it right, they have to have the ashes from the last time a sacrifice was performed with a red heifer in the temple, because it's called a perpetual sacrifice, meaning they have the ashes of the previous one to mix in with the ashes of a new one, and so somewhere they have to have the ashes to do it right, to follow the you know, the what was told to Moses to do and to institute.
They've got to have it right now. They might say no, But in nineteen sorry twenty twenty two, five red heifers arrived from a Texas ranch. They're now being kept at a park next to Shiloh, which is allegedly an illegal Israeli settlement near a Palestinian city of Nablus. What makes a red heifer significant, Get this, It cannot have one white or black hair on it. It has to be one hundred percent all of the hair red, and so there have been efforts to breed a red heifer for decades.
If you step back and look at it, historically, it took the Holocaust for Israel to be brought back together and to be given its homeland again, which it has been fighting to keep ever since. The Bible talked about how God's chosen people, the Jews, would be scattered to the four corners of the world, which is what happened when Rome literally raised Jerusalem, burnt it down, destroyed it.
Jews were sent in every direction in nineteen forty eight, in May of nineteen forty eight, I believe was May fifteenth, nineteen forty eight, in the wake of the Holocaust, the international cry because of what happened to the Jews, and it I mean, did God mean for that to happen, Absolutely not, but it happened, and God used that to create an environment where Jews were able to return to Israel. Listen, now, for the first time since seventy eighty they had a homeland.
And so all of this ties together. I actually tried to get George Lucas when he made the fourth Indiana Jones movie. Instead of that ridiculous Crystal Skull, which is just stupid, I wanted him to go back to the roots of the lost arc Indiana Jones and the ashes of the Red Heifer, and you could have set an older Indiana Jones in late forties fifties early sixties Israel, Jerusalem and the efforts to rebuild the temple and the need he could be hired to find the ashes of
the last red heifer. See, that is a story. That's where they should have gone. Couldn't get anybody with George Lucas's people to return my emails and calls. No, I'm serious, I made an effort. I actually made an effort. That's the storyline because it's incredibly cool and if you buy into the concept that the arc needs to be there and to perform this sacrifice of a new red heifer, you have to have the ashes of the previous because it's a perpetual sacrifice, is what it's called.
What a storyline? Right?
That would have been incredible and it fits Indiana Jones and the ashes of the red heifer because people would have gone, huh what and then you would have had just an awesome opportunity to tell an amazing story. Anyway, here's the point. They're talking about it openly now, just saying it's a thing in biblical eschatology. Twenty eight past the Hour, Come back with the big Stories in the press Box. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Arcades of doing morning drive radio differently, doing it his way like Old Blue Eyes, except he has a little more hair. The Morning Show with Preston Scott freshly shorn hair. But you can't see that now, can you. I remember that we used to do this show live on Facebook, and we had.
Cameras in there, cameras in their meaning Studio one A. We had cameras, four cameras here in Studio one B. It was really quite a feat because I was directing the broadcast, as I was hosting the show. I had my little Numeric pad here and and I could call up whichever camera I wanted, and so we had close up shots of our guests, wide shots of the studio, facial shot of me.
Jose just yacked just a little bit with that one. It spit up a little bit in his mouth.
But it was it was I mean, we did it for a good maybe year and a half or two years, but Facebook just lost its mind and it just it just wasn't it not worth it to me. There are some some of the really big shows out there still do that stuff, but they have camera operators in a full staff, and you know, we just we just have our our just our little old selves, and then we have our research team, okay, and then we have the board of directors, the board of trustees of the Morning Show.
But that's for another time. Big stories in the press box this morning. These are a reflection, a snapshot of kind of These are little silos of sort of where we are right now. Story number one interview with Brian moynihan, CEO Bank of America. And you know, you take Bank of America with a little grain of salt. They're into that DEI stuff. We're stopping them here in Florida. That's good, so they have to be a little bit better corporate partner.
He made an observation. He said, people who had an account with us in January twenty twenty before the pandemic, if you look at them now, they're still sitting with with much more even inflation adjusted. They have more money, but the problem is quoting it started to drift down, which indicates they're using that money to maintain a lifestyle. Fifty percent of Americans are carrying a higher balance today on a month to month basis than they were in
March of twenty two. Credit Card debt hit a record high last week one point one four trillion. His point is that while people have more money, that balance is going down because they're using that money to pay for their bills.
They're not spending as much.
Spending is softened in the summer, which is a little interesting because people are usually off taking vacations when they are spending. That's what they're spending it on. But he made another observation, or rather that Mark Tepper Strategic Wealth Partners, the fact that a family of four received ten thousand dollars in stimulus checks when it was unnecessary. It causes an addiction to consumption. When you're living paycheck to paycheck your entire life, and suddenly you get an extra ten
thousand dollars to spend, you ratchet your lifestyle higher. That was the stimulus that was signed by Biden in March, two months after he took office, handing out an average family of four ten thousand dollars. Just here's what it did. It addicted people to money. You're shooting up money in the veins and you get people addicted. And that's what the left does. The left ingratiates itself to the voting class by giving away money. And then you're like dependent
on it. Right forty minutes past the hour, got more big stories again, snapshot kind of where we are right now. Next, you know, I heard in the National News Kammlin Tim Wall's talking about how the middle class is going to suffer under Trump because it's all about helping the wealthy. Look at four years of his record versus rhetoric with no results. During Trump's four years, the lower middle class did better than any time in history. Minorities, best ever economy,
best ever improvement of wages. Why because a rising tide lifts all boats. And you didn't do it through FAE mandated wage increases. You did it by lightning regulation, reducing those regulatory hurdles, repatriating money, getting money back from overseas, by saying we're going to lower your taxes if you do business back here in America. And what he did to me was the first the first wave. You needed to lower it more. People pay too much in taxes.
They just do.
I'm anyway, I could and will at some point talk more about that. Another snapshot story here of an illegal Venezuelan migrant in this country illegally gang ties. He has committed twenty two crimes in six months in New York City and he's not yet been deported. In fact, because New York is a sanctuary state, in New York City a sanctuary city, you actually have a lack of cooperation between the authorities and and even the federal government's ICE,
you know, the Immigration Customs Enforcement. They don't even cooperate with ICE, even though they're kind of sort of on the same page. Even though there was a detainer against him in twenty twenty three, Rikers Island jail would not cooperate. He was arrested for brandishing a knife threatening a cop, but he was released without bail. Charges were dropped. That's Alvin Bragg. By the way, we're prosecuting Trump for a made up crime that didn't There was no victim, No
one was financially injured at all. No loans weren't were unpaid. Every there were no victims, no bank no nobody. Nobody said well, I'm a victim. I didn't get my money, nobody, And then we're letting guys like this out. Third story, the battalion commander of Tim Walls's former Minnesota Army National Guard unit. I do not regret that Tim Walls retired early from the Minnesota National Guard, did not complete the Sergeant's Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract, and did not
successfully complete any assignment as a sergeant major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership. That is Lieutenant Colonel of the first Battalion, one hundred and twenty fifth Field Artillery, John Colb.
He's now an attorney in Minnesota.
I've recently learned not only is Walls guilty of stolen valor, he's guilty of stolen coaching valor. He claims to have led a team to a state title. He was a defensive coordinator. Now, he played a role, but he didn't lead the team. He wasn't the head coach. But he has these things. And a listener pointed out he took his stolen valor to the point where he had challenged coins made showing his rank falsely. He never achieved that rank. He's a liar. And so this is a snapshot of
America right now. Friends, The economy's bad problems at the southern border. And the irony of ironies is we have people that think that Trump is the dishonorable one. Look, I'm not nominating him for boy scout, and I'm not nominating him to be my pastor. He's who we've got and he's far and away the best choice for president.
It's not even close. More on that next hour.
Though, forty seven minutes past the hour, come back in a little blame to the GOP.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven doubled UFLA.
The more I listen to Chip Roy, the more I like him. You know, he is congressman from Texas.
He's correctly pointing out a problem that the Republicans have no courage, no conviction. There are exceptions, generally speaking, Cat Camick is an exception. Members of the Freedom Caucus. Jim Jordan, quoting Roy in a chat with The Daily Signal, which is the news reporting outlet of Heritage Foundation, Republicans give lip service to wanting to shrink the size of government.
They won't do it.
Until Republicans are willing to do what Democrats are always willing to do, which is to risk your election certificates to change the country, change the trajectory of the country.
It'll never change.
He goes on to talk about the fact that there's a way to restrain spending without touching Medicare benefits and Social Security.
I agree with that.
There is so much duplication in government, so much overreach that we just don't need. We don't need a federal Department of Education for what all educations done on a state level, and then beyond that a local level. We don't need a federal Department of education. There are so many agencies that overlap. He went on to say Republicans too often side with Democrats on spending. True true statement. I remember asking former Congressman Steve Sutherland, and Steve and
I maintained a friendship while he was in Congress. He just sort of dropped off the radar when he got out. He was over and done with. But I asked him, and I asked his successor, Congressman doctor Neil Dunn.
Why not.
Say no to spending even if it benefits your district, because it's for the good of the nation. We can't keep spending money we don't have, and neither of them would agree to that. We never have enough members of Congress saying no. Quoting Chip Roy, what good is it to be slightly less bad version of Democrats? You said defense spending should be limited to secure in the United States.
America is not secure. We have an open border. We have woke military policies quoting we need the strongest military in the world and it needs to be sparingly used. I'm sick and tired of politicians and frankly activists and pundits going on and talking about what we need to do or not do in Ukraine. We should not send one hundred and seventy five billion dollars to fund Zelenski's war, no matter how righteous you think I think it is or not.
He's right.
And here's our conundrum. We need more people that will make the right decision on behalf of our nation.
We just don't have enough yet. All right, five minutes past the hour.
Needed to clear my throat. There, bring back the dulcet tones. Sorry, that's Jose over there in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B. It is the show number fifty two fourteen of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you this Tuesday. We've got a mainly minute coming up this hour and much much more. Let's start with this. I have mentioned to you the Media Research Center aka NewsBusters that is a website that chronicles,
records and stores the media bias. They're the closest thing that I've got to hiring Cookie from Russia.
Limbaugh's staff.
Who used to roll tape on everything and compile montages of what the media does in the echo chamber, repeating the Democrat talking points. Democrats release a press release, they put certain language in there, and the mainstream media says it the same way, the same words, the same phrases, over and over and over and over and over.
It is.
It is using the technique of burdening your brain and using a koic memory to cause things to stick. So the Media Research Center has this interview with ABC's Jonathan Carl now going by John Carl, and it's a pretty contentious exchange with JP vice presidential nominee Senator jd Vance. As I've said, jd Vance is more than up to the task.
Let's listen, and.
Finally, before you go, you commit to this race to kind of sticking to the facts. I mean, I heard Donald Trump give this speech in Montana, just gave and he said that Tim Wallas has signed a letter letting the state kidnapped children to change their gender, the allowing pedophiles to claim, you know, I mean to be exempt from crimes. I mean, this is not true. It's not remotely true.
Well, what President Trump said, and I haven't watched the whole rally, what pres said was not true. What President Trump said, John, is that Tim Waltz has supported taking children from their parents if the parents don't consent to gender reassignment.
That is crazy.
And by the way, Tim Waltz gets on his high horse about mind your own damn business. One way of minding your own damn business, John, is to not try to take my children.
Away from me. They have children.
How would you what I just explained to you, I would describe as kidnapping.
John. He has absolutely done this stuff.
It's not crazy, John, come on, it's not. You should not you should not be able to take people's children away from them. And if you disagree with decisions about gender reassignment, yes, he has proposed that, John, he absolutely has. Now here's the more important thing, John, Why are we talking about inflation? Why are we talking about the fact that groceries are unaffordable thanks to Kamala Harris's policies, and so is housing. We've talked a little bit about the border.
Why are we talking about the fact that the entire world is on fire because Kamala Harris's foreign policy, She's just asleep at the wheel. We have a set of plans. You talk about sticking to the facts. Donald Trump and I have a set of plans to lower the cost of housing and food, to bring peace back to the world with American leadership.
That is all that we want to do.
And I think it's telling that the Harris administration has focused so much on these side issues instead of on the real substance why Americans are are unhappy with Kamala Harrison.
To be clear, I just asked you about something that Donald Trump brought up, not something that Harris campaign bought up. I was asking you about Donald Trump.
Thank you, Thank you Harris. The Harris campaign.
What are their policy views?
They don't have a policy position.
On their website. Should she sit down and answer tough questions with you?
I think she should.
Where is she that we respect the American hope she'll be on the show soon. I hope so too, John, because the person who wants to be our president ought to sit down for some tough interviews.
I'm willing to do.
It and I wish you would do all right, Jade Vans, thank you for your time.
Really well.
Now that didn't go as well as Jonathan Carr wanted it to go. But I want to get to the substance of that exchange. I'm going to do that next ten minutes after the hour. How unprepared could an interviewer be? This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Migrant accused of attacking New York City cops in Times Square back in January is arrested again.
This is just crazy.
Anyway, back to the interview between jd Vance and John Carl of ABC.
It's just that's just crazy. He not a proposal that oh it's not a proposal, it's a law. He signed it. He signed it.
In fact, this is from the Minnesota House upon passage of the bill. The bill would prohibit the enforcement of a court order for removal of a child or enforcement of another state's law being applied in appending child protection action in Minnesota when the law of another state allows the child to be removed from the parent of guardian for receiving medically necessary health care or mental health care that respects the gender identity of the patient. Now there's
a lot of legal ease inside of there. The Washington Post wrote it up this way. In March twenty twenty three, Walls issued in executive order protecting transpatient's ability to receive medical care that helps them live according to their gender identity. The order shields patients, parents, and providers from punishment by other states for seeking and delivering such care. The next month, he signed legislation enshrining similar protections that supporters would said
would establish Minnesota as a trans refuge. The Minnesota law allows courts to have temporary emergency jurisdiction during custody disputes crossing state lines if a child has been unable to
obtain gender affirming care. That's what Trump called kidnapping. If you live in South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Florida, and you travel and you're a child, a young person, a twelve thirteen year old, and you believe that you should be given the radical surgical mutilation, surgeries and treatments to be something other than you were creating to be male or female, the state of Minnesota allows that child to remain in the state to receive that care under temporary
emergency jurisdiction, and it doesn't matter what a parent in another state says or does. That is absurd and that is the definition of kidnapping. The law gives courts the ability to resolve conflicts when parents disagree on whether a child should receive gender affirming care. Allows the court to
resolve the conflict. Here's what's not mentioned. If a court which assumed emergency jurisdiction awards custody to a parent wanting to transition their child over another parent, then in fact custody was ripped from parents not wanting their child to be pumped full of hormones prior to a full sex change operation. Another thing not mentioned. Courts and Minnesota are required to rule based on what they determine is in
the best interests of the child. If a judge thinks parents shouldn't have custody of the child, parents lose custody of the child. That's where Jonathan carl and that's where the mainstream media, if anything like this rolls out, they protect. They're doing everything possible to make Tim Walls look like just Middle America, and he is anything but it is shocking that the citizens of Minnesota elected this guy. Look Kamala Harris is not very bright.
She just isn't. We can roll a.
Sound of her trying to answer a simi question, what are you going to do to deal with inflation? But Tim Walls. Tim Walls is certifiably crazy. He's nuts. He is he.
Is in my mind.
I have to be careful how I worried this. He needs mental health care. His love of China is a danger to this country. His policies that he's advocated and signed into law, now he didn't do it by himself. His lies about his personal life, his professional life, his coaching life, He's a liar. I'm gonna keep pointing these things out to you seventeen past the hour when we come back, the dangers of what we're facing in the media.
Former longtime employee of a local newspaper which will be left nameless, keeps an eye on the media for me.
He's kind of my media field reporter, paying.
Attention to what's going on, and he finds stories that I don't get.
And he sent me this.
And it's a wyoming reporter that uncovers a competitor using AI generated quotes. Pal tribute and staff reporter guy named c J. Baker thought a quote from a game warden in another news outlet seemed a little bit off.
Turns out it was.
So we've got the Pale Tribune and a reporter there that says this story doesn't look right. And then we've got a reporter named Alan Pelzar pelk Czar from the Cody Enterprise.
And.
It just seemed to him a real reporter, that is competitor made up quotes or maybe got quotes from like chat GPT quotes from a liquor store owner, an astronomer, a deputy district attorney. So Baker began calling sources to verify quotes about illegal elk hunting.
Consensus.
From the calls, the quotes sounded plausible, inocuous, but they were never ever given, and so he then sat down with the reporter, Aaron Pelksar, and his editor with evidence of at least seven people who were quoted but never interviewed.
Aaron Pelksar resigned his position with the Cony Enterprise. Safe to say, he used AI to generate false quotes to embellish his story, and because the quotes weren't just out of left field weird, they didn't stand out other than to a seasoned journalist who said, this doesn't sound quite right in the mind, and it doesn't look right as you reading the story. I think what's important to note in the era that we are living in is that
this is likely happening right now. I have another story here, and it is the story of indicators that Kamala Harris and Tim Wallas's campaign is fake and fraudulent.
One of them is that.
It appears, and I have had multiple people point this out and send me emails about it, that the images of some of the crowds at some of the rallies is artificially made that if you look at the photos, you see little details like the way the phones are being gripped, like the images on the phones when someone's holding it up to take pictures. All the images are different on the phones. They're not pointing, they're pointing in the same direction. But the images isn't is not the same.
It's it's AI generated more than likely, and that fits, doesn't it. They're doing everything they can to make it sound like Kamala Harris is music to the ears of America. She she evokes imagery of Barack Obama with her her eloquence. Oh my gosh, not even close. I've always given given Obama credit for being a pretty good orator. Now what he says is a little dangerous, but he says it so well smoothly. Kamala is a train wreck. But my point in this segment is be careful, be careful what
you consume. Don't believe that legacy media outlets are necessarily going to avoid this right now, there is desperation to keep Democrats in charge, at least of the White House.
But it.
The fake and phony nature of the media is just the symptom.
Is this AI stuff.
It's just the latest example the media has been lost for decades, but not enough recognize it yet. Twenty seven minutes pass the hout come back with the big Stories in the press Box and more evidence of deception.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Big Stories in the press Box this morning. Bank of America's CEO. Based on what he's seeing inside Bank of America, he said, people who had an account with us prior to the pandemic, they actually have more money now on average, but they're using it now. Their money in savings is dropping because they're using it to maintain lifestyle. Now, when you hear those words, you tend to think lifestyle it they must be spending on things that they normally would know.
Lifestyle is whatever your lifestyle is. I think we have a default mindset that when we hear the word to make the phrase to maintain a lifestyle, that it's to keep expensive cars and make all kinds of trips and buy extravagant toys and spend money lavishly. Know he's saying to maintain how they live, they're having to pull money out of their account. That along with the fact that we have yet another record amount of credit debt that Americans have on revolving credit cards last week one point
one four trillion in debt on credit cards. Oh my gosh, that's horrifying, especially when you consider there's some that are just they're making minimum payments to just get through, and that unless you've got a locked in rate from prior to the interest rate explosion, your rates are twenty nine percent, give or take on your unpaid balance ouch, your minimum payments can't keep up with that more than likely. So that's one big story. Second big story the illegal immigrants
that are committing crimes in this country. Here's an example of one guy twenty two crimes in six months. Experts saying we've got more than seven million illegals that have entered just since Joe Biden took office, and we now say the Biden Harris administration because Kamala Harris was the border czar. Another example of the mainstream media trying to scrub the record.
That's what she was. She's done nothing.
Infamously said to Lester Whole of NBC News when he said, you haven't been to the border, she said, I haven't been to Europe so wide. Well, you're not the Europe's are, You're the borders are. It's a snapshot of where we are in the country. And again a reminder, deaths of Americans by illegal immigrants is acceptable collateral damage to Democrats because they need a voter class. They need people illegally
voting in this country to win elections. They're losing. Democrats are losing registered members, people are waking up to the calls of people like me, and more importantly, the walk Away campaign.
Blegs it.
People are awakening to the Democrat Party and they're fleeing. I don't suggests you necessarily become a Republican. I became I returned to the Republican Party after a decade absence to try to change the party for the good. I have been unsuccessful. Final big story, guy who was former
leader of Walls's battalion published a scathing message. John Colb, a lieutenant colonel in the first Battalion one twenty fifth Field Artillery, said that inadvertently Walls abandoning his team, his troops, failing to reach the level of rank that he claims, and quitting his contract that he committed to inadvertently was a good thing because it made the way for better leadership. Military does not hold Tim Walls high regard, nor should they. Forty minutes past.
Deception Next, Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Anyone subscribed to learn to learn? Any anyone sub surprised to learn? I had subscribed in my head. From what Victor said, early childhood tablet use linked to anger outbursts. When you get kids addicted to screen time and you take it from them, they scream and yell.
Limit.
Don't let them use it till they're appropriate, the age appropriate, which is what twenty eight thirty something like that. Back a few weeks ago, we tackled the issue of evangelical voters, and a guy with the Lincoln Project who refused to come on the program did not acknowledge the interview invitation. I'm you know, I come from this from the perspective of someone who I've been a Christian since I was a kid. I got saved in through a ministry program
called Young Life when I was in school. I went to the meeting and I was like, WHOA. And I'd been to church since I was a child, went through the Lutheran version of Catechism called Confirmation, and then over time just realized that a lot of the things that were parts of the Lutheran Church's view of scripture just were not reflected in scripture. It's a little bit of a problem there. And oh, by the way, Tim Wallas's church is categorically nuts. It's heretical. It is not even
remotely a Christian church. They claim it all. It's an offshoot of the Lutheran Church. And look, there are a lot of great Lutheran churches out there, Evangelical Lutheran churches love Jesus. They got their statement of faith right, and so, but there are offshoots like we're seeing today, and this is an offshoot this church that Walls goes to, and it's nuts nuts, nothing remotely close to Jesus in God's
word there. But there are people like David French. And David French is a self described pro life, evangelical conservative. But he's a columnist for the He's a calmness for the New York Times. And why some of you pay any attention to what he has to say is beyond me. He's making a conservative case to vote for Kamala Harris. There isn't one. There just isn't one. Kama's main campaign ads are talking about enshrining the right to kill babies
across the nation. Doesn't matter what states think. You can't be a Christian and support that.
You can't be.
You've checked your Christianity at the door if you do. I challenged a local candidate, you can't be a Christian and be a Democrat. Boy, he got angry with me.
That's okay.
It doesn't mean you're supposed to be a Republican. It just means you can't be part of an organization. You can't support an organization with foundational platform precepts that believe and promote sin, that promote murder that promote taking human lives in the name of convenience. French tries to justify his positioning by saying, the only way to save the conservative movement is to let it crash to the ground.
That's a non discerning person. David French is not discerning the times we are in and the fact that and he claims that Trump lies about everything. I see no evidence of that. I don't like who Donald Trump is in a lot of regards, but I've never found him to be dishonest about it. And there's your conundrum. Don't follow me, don't follow David French. Don't make up your own mind, use common sense, use wisdom. We're not electing a pastor. We're electing somebody to step in. And you
know what, God gives us what we are. You know, you look at the history of Israel. They wanted a king like everybody else. So God said, okay, here you go. If we followed Jesus, these things wouldn't be happening in our country because we wouldn't be electing the type of people we elect. But that's not who we are. That ship sailed, So you choose the best out of what you've got. To work with, and that far and away
is Donald Trump. Forty seven past the hour, forty eight past the hour, mainly minute more next on the Morning Show, The Morning Show, we pressed in.
Scott tracking trumpitical Stormy a Nesto.
Yeah, likely going to just spin out to the Atlantic. It'll maybe brush over Puerto Rico. Those a's like, no loss and headed head into the Atlantic, maybe the US Virgin Islands, who knows. Mainly minute, just a little bit, but little business here first, if by chance I've got listening to the program. Jeffrey Morgan. Jeffrey reached out and I tried to reply back to him. He wanted to expand the box fan thing in Thomas County. I'm like, well,
heck yeah, but here's the problem. He's got a Yahoo email address that is kicking back my emails and I'm finding that Yahoo and Aol addresses. You've got a problem with your box receiving email from me? Because I got one back from him, and then I got one back from Alison, who wrote in I won't give her last name though, She's asking for information on local elections, and I gave her some and it came pingpong and back
to me. Too, So just a memo. Check your email servers for problems, because there's nothing more I can do. I'm not being rude. I've answered you. I just it's coming right back to me.
Quickly. A manly minute.
These are things to teach your son. Remember mail by birth, man by choice. These are very important virtues, ideals, skills, thoughts, mindsets to teach your son. Teach your son to say the two most important words, even more powerful than and I love you, thank you. The lead research is listen of the morning shows. Dog eared this thing and sent it to me back a couple of weeks ago, said this is a manly minute. I was like, well, now
look at you. And as I as I pondered this it there's a lot of truth to this being really important set of words teach your son because I think real men express their thanks and say thank you to people. Third hour next to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
You know, back in the day, I could start this hour of playing the Olympic theme song bub and then could roll into the John Williams suite of music that he did for the I want to say the eighty four games in Los Angeles, which are epic John Williams score on the Olympic Music is absolutely incredible.
But I can't do that because record companies are.
Stupid and I'd have to edit it out. That's why we can't use bumps of popular songs, because I don't have the time to have the staff edit out all of the music to do the podcast. We just we just we don't have time for that and put the show together with the mump music as part of it, and that's just the way it goes. So we have to use our own bump music that we own, and so that's that's what we do. The Olympics. I wanted to take some time to talk about the Olympic Games.
We talked about the opening ceremony, which turned many of you off you chosen to watch.
Any of the Olympics.
I simply stopped watching the opening ceremony and then watched the Olympics.
But I respect your view on that stuff.
I you know, who am I to say you know what you ought to be watching or not watching.
I offer my thoughts, you offer yours. That's fine.
One of the stories it's poppedas of late is Jordan Chiles, a gymnast that want a bronze medal, and because that meant that another girl from Romania got bumped out of the bronze medal, they filed a complaint with the Center of Arbitration for Sport.
Listen to this.
The arbiter ruled the United States inquiry was four seconds late and Childs's score should be turned back to thirteen point six y six. I suppose to thirteen point seven to six, which gives her the bronze medal because it was force seconds late. Now, the issue was the difficulty that was assigned to the routine. The judges were wrong in the assigned difficulty because it's it's set and standardized to a certain extent. You do this and this and
this and this. This is your standard of difficulty. The problem is the United States has evidence on film on video that they did the appeal within the allocated time. So US Gymnastics is taking this to Swiss court and and they're fighting the decision because they say that they the fact that they won't reconsider even though we have video evidence showing we did it within the required time,
well within the quiet time. So they're fighting for Jordan Chiles's bronze medal, and it's really sad when someone's given a medal and it's stripped, or someone has it was awarded a medal and it's removed from them for very I mean, it's sad all the way around. I feel bad for the Romanian gymnast, but that's why you compete. You compete to get gold, silver, bronze.
Right.
Unless you find out that the bronze medal sucks. And I mean literally this is incredible US skateboarder boarder. Sorry Nija Houston. Now I'm personally I personally think skateboarding ought to be an ex game sport and not an Olympic sport. And there's another example that I'll give on that in just a minute here, but he received a bronze medal
video post it on Instagram. All right, So these Olympic medals look great when they're brand new, but after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit, letting my friends wear it over the weekend, they are apparently not as high quality as you would think. The medal is starting to tarnish and chip and the cover the coating is coming off. So did Paris make up cheap metals or does that come up with the come from the Olympic Committee. I mean, come on, now,
it's already going bad. The finish is already chipping off of it.
That's brutal.
So you know, maybe Jordan Chiles needs to just I guess the moral of that story is put a protective coating on your metal if you won one. Ten minutes after the hour more and as we go, it's gonna get a little bit more pointed and serious sort of.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott on US Radio one hundred point seven double u FLA or on US Radio double USLA Panama City dot Com.
Oh my, got pictures of my my oldest grandson going to school for the first day. Oh man, Oh, Grandpa's heart is just.
What a little dude, What a little dude. I love that kid. Mm hmm.
All right, back to the Olympic Games. Sorry, I just dab a teer away here breakdancing. That's not an Olympics sport. Come on, come on, that's not how you draw young people to the Olympics by making things that are not sports a sport, it is an art and it's a heck.
Of an art.
Personally, I am a big fan of that style of dancing. I can't do any of it, not even remotely, but I sure enjoy watching it. My wife and I went to a show down at I want to say it was Universal Theme Parks at their theater there. So you can think, so you think you can dance. The winners of the show, the touring group from the performers of that season, did a tour across the country. It was spectacular and the winner that year is a breakdancer. It was just it was awesome.
That is not an Olympic sport.
One of the uh, one of the performers, I won't say athletes, even though they're there. That dancers are athletic, and they are athletes in their skill and trade.
It's not a sport. It's an art and there's a difference. It's like, well then let's just do ballet, right, We're gonna do break dancing. Do ballet.
Australian bee girl named Rachel Gunn, who goes by the name Ray gun thirty six years old. First of all, sorry but no. She scored zero points as she tried to wile the audience with a kangaroo dance. She said, what I bring is creativity. I was never gonna beat these girls on what they do their best, their power moves, creativity is really important to me. I go out there to show my artistry. See see artistry art anyway. Yeah, no, no, that's it's she got zero points. She's just getting raked
over the coals in social media. Feel bad for uh McDonald's in France. This is pretty good. Steph Curry obliterated France at the end of that game to win the gold medal for the United States.
Not he won it, he just did. He was just unstoppable.
And so the McDonald's in Paris has pulled their curry, their sweet Curry sauce. They're taking it off the menu because they're not gonna they're not gonna celebrate, even though it has nothing to do with Steph Curry. They're just they're not gonna have it. I just think that's funny. That's funny. That's that's good. Then the dark side of the men's basketball thing. I talked about this yesterday. You've got Lebron James being just a jerk that he is.
I'm sorry. I have great regard for him as a basketball player, I have zero regard for him as a human being. He's a rotten person. It doesn't matter. We gives millions to this that, it doesn't matter. He makes his money off the backs of slave labor in China. He's got nothing to say about that, and everything to say about what a sucky country we are taking knees and he's the flag bearer. So he shows up at
a celebratory thing at a restaurant. There's one kid outside his car that asks to get a photo, and he yells at.
The kid, stop, stop, stop, walks by.
Him, and then shimmy's into the restaurant doing his dance. Look at me, look at me ten seconds earlier, the real Lebron ten seconds later. The phony, the fraud that is Ron James, the person performing. I'm offended by that. And you know what, as was pointed out on social media, and you can see it. You can see the interaction. It's not just someone saying no, no, no. You can see it for yourself. It's on my Twitter page, X page at TMS Preston Scott. That kid's gonna remember that
the rest of his life. He's going to carry a very bad attitude about Lebron James because he learned firsthand Lebron James is a jerk, and so my moral to that story is just because you're a great athlete does not mean you're a great person. Although there are some great athletes who are great people, and thankfully the Olympics highlighted some of that too. Sadly something else happened as well, and that's what's next here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott mentioned this in a commentary last week. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee aka the IOC, we have said from the very beginning, if somebody is presenting us a scientifically solid system how to identify men and women, we are the first ones to do it. We do not like this uncertainty. We do not like it for the overall situation for nobody really, so we would be more than pleased to look into it. But what is not possible is somebody saying this is not
a woman just by looking at somebody. Well, actually, there are ways to just look at somebody and know. The Adams Apple is certainly one of them. But I digress. This is really about the statement that there's no scientific system to identify men and women. Folks, The IOC, the NCAA, all of these governing bodies take you and I to be absolute bumbling idiots, rubs, dolts, stupidoes. And so as a result, two men beat up all of the women in their weight class to win gold medals in the Olympics.
Let me say that again.
Two men beat all of the women to win the women's gold medals in boxing. Two men. There's men's boxing in all kinds of weight classes. These same two men were not allowed to box in the twenty twenty three World Boxing Championships because both of these two men had x Y chromosomes. Candidly, in a lot of places around the world, those two men would be arrested for assault on women. Trainers of women said, yeah, he thought it was dangerous to train against this person, so we we
didn't because it's a guy. One look at the especially the Algerian. The Algerian is absolutely a dude, without any question. Is muscular, is skeletal structure, everything. The one from lin uting another boxer one I forget. I don't know what nation he represented, but he was another one that was not allowed to box in the World Championships. That is the that is the worst that happened in the Olympics.
Worse than the biological waste in the sind River, worse than anything except the opening ceremony mocking Jesus.
So that was the worst.
And right behind it men beating women to win women's gold medals.
And the IOC has no problem with that, no problem with it at all.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, that is our post mortem on the Olympics.
Back with the Big Stories, next.
With the morning Show, Preston Scott.
Thirty five past the hour, Bob, thanks for calling into the program. I appreciate the encouragement that I should do my research. I will only submit back to you that I did. Perhaps you weren't able to listen to everything that I said previously on the subject, because I have addressed it previously. I did point out that there are some that claim that the young man who boxes for Algeria was born a hermaphrodite, and very well could be that he was born with both male and female genitalia.
That very well could be. Here's the problem.
He has male chromosomes, he has a male body, and if he has male genitalia, he's a dude. He should not be boxing against women. He has the presence and overtly so of male chromosomes, and that disqualifies him from boxing as a woman. Complicated, and and I'll take it a step further. How you and I are created disqualifies us from some things. I would love to say that I could have been a gold medalist in a bunch of sports.
I wasn't created to do that.
I wasn't given the gift to jump high enough at my height six four sixty five to make it in basketball on a Division IE level. Just wasn't big enough. If I'd have been taller, I absolutely had the skills set, but I needed to be taller. My skills as a shorter person weren't good enough to play guard in a Division one basketball program.
It's how I was created.
How we're created qualifies us or disqualifies us for all kinds of things.
I did my research. I know quite well.
I know that this boxer was disqualified from the twenty twenty three World Championships because he had X Y chromosomes, and it was determined he was a male, just like the other boxer who was disqualified from the But somehow they were allowed to compete against women. I don't know why in the world you're defending this. But you know that, you know that's up to you if you you want to continue to see men beat women and hurt women.
I e.
The female volleyball player in high school that got a spike to the face from a male claiming to be a female athlete on the other side of the net, she's now partially paralyzed for the rest of her life.
That's okay with you. That's fine. You're entitled to be wrong. That's okay. It's all right.
I'm you know, so, yeah, it's uh, it's it's to me. It's not okay to me, as as someone who watched my aunt fight for title nine and play a role in its writing and its presentation to Congress to protect and to allow women to have opportunities in athletics they'd never had before. I want to protect that from my granddaughter to maybe one day play sports if she wants to, and not have to worry about competing against a man, a boy, a male.
Anyway. Forty minutes past the hour, Money Talk with Howard Heisman is on deck, and next on.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.
Time for a little.
Money Talk with investment advisor Howard Heisman with enhanced financial services, securities and advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member Fender an SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Bank USA. The opinions expression not those of NBC Securities Inc. Or iHeartMedia.
On appropriate matter, seek professional tax and or legal advice to them Money, Howard.
The unemployment numbers, the unemployment rate, what we learning, what's happening well?
The announcement of the unemployment rate. It hit four point three percent, which, while still historically low, is a nine tenths of one percent increase, Preston from the all time low unemployment rate of three point four percent. So it's low, but it moved up a lot faster than folks expected.
In fact, that increase anytime there's been an increase from the low rate when the economy was humming to a higher rate when the economy is softening as it is now, whenever it's increased by more than six tenths of a percent, go all the way back to the end of World War II, Preston, and we've had a recession twelve out of the last thirteen times we've seen the kind of increase that's been reported here recently, twelve out of thirteen, in fact, the last twelve in a row ouch ouch. Yeah.
So does it guarantee that we're about to have a recession? Though it doesn't, but it pretty pretty clearly indicates that they're softening going on in the economy and it's causing layoffs in the economy as well.
Yeah, and there are a lot of economists out there that are in fact predicting a recession is somewhat inevitable.
Yes, there are, Yes, there are, and I think there's a pretty good chance that that's how this plays out. And the question may be when, how soon, and how bad or recession it may be.
Howard, it's always interesting to me how there are cycles in the markets when you look at them in the macro large long term. You know, whether it's election cycles, whether it's something else. And it's interesting how the months in August and September tell us things.
Yeah, they really do. And it's one of those quirks. But if you look back over the last fifty years, and let's just talk about the Dow Jones industrial average, because that's the average that many investors and Americans look at when they're looking at the markets. There are only two months in the year in the last fifty years
where the returns in those months have been negative. The other ten months all have positive returns over time, and one of them happens to be this month, August, and the other ones the month that follows August of course, September. So those are the two negative months. And of course we kind of have started off August on a pretty sluggage footing.
We were just talking about recessions and the possibilities of one existing soon. There's another interesting point that and it revolves around something called ISM. Services sector purchasing man First, what is ISM? What is that and what is the data here that is relevant?
So that's the Institute of Supply Management, that's the ISM party, and they track contracts that are being written, which gives you an indication of what may occur shortly in the economy in both the services sector as well as the manufacturing sector. And the manufacturing sector has been weak in declining contracting actually twenty of the last twenty two reports. Okay, so a lot of softness there, and that's been kind
of chronic for some time. The services part of our economy, though Preston, which is two thirds of the US economy, has still been growing up until recently. Two of the last three services reports have seen contraction. That's a number below fifty and surprisingly though the July number just came out last week and it showed a little bit of
an uptick. But bottom line, if services roll over, that would just be another indicator that we may be facing a recession perhaps in the not too distant future.
As always, Howard, thanks for the intel. I appreciate it. We'll catch you up again a couple weeks.
Look forward to Preston. Have great day, sir.
Thank you.
Howard Eisman with us this morning Money Talk, give a little snapshot. They'll insight some nuggets on the economy.
Here in the Morning Show with Preston.
Scott far on the program, Jeff Colhane, Voice of the Seminoles, coming in studio, Director of Broadcasting, talk about the new season, The Coaches Show and more. Matt Staver joins us tomorrow Liberty Council. We'll be talking about Amendment four. Yeah, I've spent a lot of time fighting and.
He's going to join me.
He's making a tour of major cities in Florida trying to get pastors on board with helping this defeat this ridiculous amendment. But I don't want to get, you know, pulled off into that for this segment.
This. Jose asked me earlier.
If when I was talking about e bikes, what was your question on the e bike segment here that that we're doing.
If it's about them catching on fire at random?
No? Are they are bikes? E bikes catching on fire?
Yeah, if I remember correctly, I read about a gentleman that was in an elevator with his e bike and it burst into flames. Oh snap, Yeah, I'm not too sure on the gentleman's I hope he wasn't straddling the thing. Yeah, yeah, I hope he's all right. But I don't think it ended good for.
I'm actually talking about a positive thing with e bikes. See, I'm okay blowing up and going in flames. Notwithstanding, I E bikes are cool to me. I like those because those are small batteries and relatively inexpensive to change.
Out if you need to, easy to charge.
Plug him into the wall, no problem, right, and those I've never rid an e bike, but I would love to. That to me is the perfect way to bicycle because you can go, you know, you can go, but more importantly, you can pedal and then you can say, yeah, I don't want to break going up this hill.
I want to get up this hill, and you go and it up the hill. That's my type of biking. I love it.
Ford has gotten into the e bike business and they have unleashed a Mustang and Bronco inspired e bike. The e bike for the Mustang. The Mustang e bike is starts at four grand, the Bronco at forty five hundred. They're distinctive in their styling and so forth, but sixty mile range, three and a half hours charge time, twenty eight miles per.
Hour top speed. Come on, get some of that. Yeah, I mean.
They come in ten colors, the Mustang version beyond the standard gray for an additional three hundred ninety bucks. The Bronco has a dual suspension, goes over any type of terrain, so it's more off road.
Man.
I'm down with that. I'm not saying I want one, although you know, I'm just never mind. Never mind.
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning.
Show on WFLA. I'm a guy. I like gadgets and toys and buttons and things. I'm just gauges, you know.
I think that's one of the things that attracted me to flying, is because even the most simplistic airplane has buttons and gauges and things in that right, Robbie Turner, he'll shout out.
To uh CFI. That is also a check ride tester for the FAA's freend to the radio.
Program for I've Flown with Robbie once. Delightful guy. Anyway, Yeah, good program today. Just we god leap.
Probably probably seventy pages of material today we went through.
Amazing.
Tomorrow we'll tee it up do it all over again. As always, thank you for listening. Glenn Beck, Claying Buck you know the drill coming up next.
Have an awesome day.
