Well, good morning, friends, and welcome.
Morning Show with Preston Scott, Thursday, August fifteenth. For many, it is heyday, always a good thing. Jose can you see over there in Studio one A. I say that and he curls.
His he says, yes, my name's what can you see? Yes, it's me.
Looks like a character from the Minions. Anyway, great to be with you this morning. We are loaded with guests today, busy day, four different guests, and so we will unpack lots of different topics throughout the morning. But as always, we begin with scripture, reminding you that this is this is a very important week for your kiddos, that first week of school, the older ones, getting them kind of back in the groove, the routine, the expectations of getting
their work done and so forth. But it doesn't matter how old or young, you need to be speaking life into your kids with prayer, scripture, hugs.
And I love you. You know.
I had a thought this morning, and I believe I pray on my way here.
That's my prayer time.
I get in the car and before I leave the driveway, I'm thanking God for another day, for my night of rest. And then I just start talking about how great his name is and how his names reveal his character and how his mercies are new every morning. And I go on from there, and I pray for my family, and I pray for our church family, and I pray for needs that I'm aware of. I pray for my clients.
I pray for my colleagues, I pray for friends. I just I pray for our country and our community and our state.
And and I just that's what I do.
It's my time, the radio's off, it's I don't have to worry about traffic.
I'm just it's it's awesome.
But I had something come to my heart before I get to the verse today, and it was this. When you send your kid to school upset, it doesn't matter the age.
They're upset. They're crying, there was.
A fight at home, yelled at him, something went wrong. That's when the predatory people around schools find them. That's when the forces of darkness, who are controlling the actions of predatory people, be they young people or not so young people, they find those kids that seem and appear to be upset, marginalized, disconnected, and they zero in on those kids. Make sure your kid isn't one of them.
Love on them. Listen to what scripture says in Psalm thirty seven, verse three, trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. I think what that says to me, And if you were going to put a note in a lunch box, it would be trust God, treat others well. Kind of that kindness thing we talked about yesterday, be kind in this case it says do good, very similar message. In the end, you
can't go wrong. You don't get repaid the way that we think we just were laying up treasures in heaven when we bless others and do good. Doesn't matter whether you get a return on this side of eternity or not. Encourage your children, hug them, love on them, send them out the door with a smile and knowing their mom and dad love them. Ten Past the Hours The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott Thursday on the program Means Steve Stewart of Tallahassie Reports.
Much to talk about there, Doctor Steve Stevenson Pause for thoughts segment. We're going to talk about other kinds of pets. And this was inspired by my oldest finding himself adopting a what's it called a a bearded dragon? Is that what it's called? A red bearded dragon? Did he did?
He rename that thing? Is it Nammy? Is that how it's pronounced? Nami? Nammy? Ose? You should know this. I think you just gave him a middle name. So it's a it's chars Are.
But I thought that it's a girl. It's a female, So I think he renamed it.
Oh okay, well yeah that's new. It's so it's news to you. Yeah.
So I just I asked doctor Steverson, how often do you get like birds and lizards and snakes and you know, different kinds of pets to try to diagnose? And so we'll talk with him about that and maybe just solicit any advice on a red bearded dragon that I possibly can.
Also.
Scott Beacon, the Beeline blogger, will join us in the third hours. He's just cranking out great material. You need to just subscribe and get that blog to your email box. It's just great research and reading. And then Mary Rook she's a columnist and analyst if you will, for the Daily Caller, and we'll talk to her about a recent column she's penned. So I'm looking forward to all of
our guests today. On the program. August fifteenth, Payday, eighteen fourteen, Andrew Jackson assumes command of American troops in New Orleans during the War of eighteen twelve. Eighteen forty six. First newspaper in California, The Californian, is launched in Monterey. Do you think the early newspaper writers would be ashamed at what's become of newspapers today. I still think there's room for the holding your hand newspaper for the same reason why I think books will always be a thing to
buy and own, not a kindle. I mean, if you're I just there's something about having a tangible something in your hands. And I think a book a newspaper. It's just it's that thing.
But I think that.
The newspaper industry has collapsed on itself by its own weight and its own hubris, and its own lack of integrity. Oh well, Panama Canal officially opens to traffic on this date. In nineteen fourteen. Nineteen thirty nine, The Wizard of Oz premieres at Graelman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood can't call it that anymore.
We should. There's nothing wrong with it.
Gralman's Chinese theater that was iconic until it wasn't until it was politically incorrect nineteen Look at me, I'm taking a history segment turning it into a thing. Well, that's what political correctness does. Nineteen forty five, the Allies proclaimed the day after Japan agrees to an unconditional surrender in World War Two as VJ Day. So today August fifteenth is VJ Day. And in nineteen sixty nine, Woodstock opens in upstate New York. My, oh my, oh my Woodstock. Yeah, yeah, buddy,
what a cultural phenomenon that was. All right, sixteen minutes after the hour, come back and we will talk about technology and more. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty one past the hour board. I'll tell you what I years ago. I abandoned shaving in the sink with shaving cream. It was time consuming, it's messy, it's annoying, and I went to shaving when I shower. But a funny thing happens over time no matter what you do. And I don't know if it's because you get old
first time I've been old before. Growing old is not for sissies, as you've heard me say time and again.
But I was just.
Checking my shave here my cheek, and it's like I've got a little more, a little more friction on one side of the face than the other. I'm like, well, what the heck is that about? Because I am that guy that shaves in every direction. I shave against the grain. I go that route. I don't cut myself, I just because I know that if you shave the same way all the time, the beard will over time, your stubble
will grow kind of like grass in that direction. So you have to shave against the grain if you really want to have a nice, smooth, close shave. And my wife will tell you that she views me as kind of this sweet face, baby faced old man, and so she likes she does not enjoy stubble on my face at all. And so if there's if there's some stubble on my face, you can almost count on the fact that I'm likely to be out in the yard getting stinky.
And and that's my way of just keeping her at bay until I kind of clean up, and you know, so forth then I'll shave get a nice smooth face, or she can smooch me. But I did, I did every direction, and it's like no, no, no, it didn't work.
And I'm mindful of that because I've got to I've got you know, I've got grandkids, and I've my granddaughter is just the delight of my heart and life and along with my grandsons, and and I've got another granddaughter on the way, and it's and so when I snuggle her a little bit, I don't want my whiskers to burn.
Her, you know, irritator.
And that's what will happen if you nuzzle into a child and their little soft skin, and then it's like it's it burns it, it's it doesn't feel good, I guess. So I try to be I try to be a kind old popad there. And anyway, it doesn't matter to any of you. I know that, I know, I know, I know, but I just I found myself doing.
This and I'm like, my gosh, I could start a fire on my face.
I could sharpen a knife on my face. Just how rough that is. It's just ridiculous. They you robotics. I'd never heard of it before. They have rolled out its first delivery robot called the One. It's cost effective, high resolution robotic vision system that it invented depth perception, object detection capabilities based on a different kind of technology than the other systems that are out there. It can carry one hundred pounds of goods, travels twenty miles per hour.
It can go sixty to seventy miles total on a single charge. It measures three point three feet high, five point nine feet in length, two point two feet wide, and so it can navigate in a lot of different settings. And so it's designed to be able to deliver small loads and be able to drive up to someone's house and set it on the sidewalk in front of the house or you know, near the mailbox or something like that.
I guess, and and.
And while that's all fine and well, and everyone's just geeking out over this thing, I'll tell you what my first thought was, every single package this thing gets dropped, that this thing drops off, it's gonna get stolen. We already have porch pirates all over right. You see this thing, which is I mean, imagine like three garbage cans boom boom boom, that's kind of its size, rolling around on wheels going twenty miles an hour, and you're a bad guy.
You're someone looking to just steal some stuff to see what's in there and sell it, resell it on the you know, on online or whatever. You're just gonna follow this thing. What what's it gonna do? Does it have knowing that it's being followed? Is it gonna call police? And so it just sets it. It doesn't go to the door, It just sets it to the on the sidewalk. It just seems to me that it's I mean cool cool.
I would find it much cooler if it like popped out a nine millimeter a nine milimeter car being and just you know, had like the the RoboCop voice approach and you will be shot approach and you will be shot. This package is not or you. And then does some gun tricks, little gun play, you know, the flipping it back and forth, and then out comes the howitzer.
Ten nine.
That would be brilliant now, but methinks this is a California robot.
It he ain't doing that.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, back with the big Stories in the press box and oh my.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All Right, big stories of the press box this morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scott's Oaseiah, I'm Preston.
This one's just quick quick headline.
Google executives pressed to testify after admitting Trump assassination attempt.
Search omissions were by design.
Remember when we told you and I people say, no, it was working fine, No, it wasn't working fine.
You weren't.
You weren't listening to what I was saying. And so I sent screenshots back to everyone. They said, now he's working for me. It's the the auto fill capability that would exist for almost any other search. They suppressed it. They were suppressing it as of July twenty eighth because they were claim that they claimed listen to this, that that it was a hypothetical political violence against the current figure. They categorized the shots fired Trump getting hit as a hypothetical.
So Congress wants to have a word.
I told you, I told you, I told you. We vetted that story and it was intentional done. They're still suppressing that story. Tell me how how long it would have been a narrative if it had been Biden or Kamala and God protect him. I want nothing bad to happen to these people. Okay, that's not my point. My point is, as always, if things are inverted, it's a totally different story as it's covered.
Totally different. Now, the big story.
Do you remember when we said something to you, and it was back in maybe June when it was discovered through congressional investigators that for nearly nine years, Anthony Fauci's institute and it's not called the Fauci Institute. Okay, he was on the public dole, the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases. It was it was discovered that in June twenty fifteen it received approval from the National Institutes of Health and Institutional Review Board for experiments to engineer a monkey pox virus with high transmissibility and moderate mortality, otherwise known as gain of function research. In twenty fifteen, Fauci had been hiding this information for nine years and they found it. Hold on to that, Okay, you got
that firmly in your head. Since twenty fifteen, they've been working on crea, taking a virus found in nature that is transmissible to humans. Don't ask me how humans get at in Africa, and don't get me going on the fact that it's mainly transmissible through men having sex with each other.
Here's the story.
World Health Organization declares empoc's outbreak in Africa a global health emergency. This happened yesterday. Really it's August, and when's
the election? And we're going to do this again. Remember there has been pushed back to the World Health Organization seizing control of nations over health emergencies, because Biden wanted us to enter a treaty to do just that, where the World Health Organization would be able to suspend our laws, our constitution and have said on how we conduct business in America, how we live our lives in a global health emergency.
In air quotes, I would say a.
Bad word right now, but I'm using remarkable restraint referring to them those baboo forty minutes past the hour, Morning Show with Preston Scott.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Well, wasn't that an interesting, big story in the press box. That's why you listen.
Huh, Right, come on now, moving onto other things. No less serious story from the town Hall tip sheet here. It's a big story, but there's a little bit of a backstory here that I think is worth talking about. Have you seen the story of the illegal alien out of Haiti? A guy named Corby Corey Alvarez. He's twenty six. He was allowed into the United States through the Biden parole program that allows up to thirty thousand illegals to fly in each month. Folks, these illegals aren't breaking into
the country the traditional way through the southern border. No, no, we're flying them in. Your tax dollars are flying them into the country. It's it's the Biden administration Humanitarian Parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Well, Corey was arrested for raping a disabled fifteen year old girl.
Hold on.
He was released on a five hundred dollars bail last week. Why even though ice put A requested a transfer for him into its custody put a detainer in place. It happened at a migrant hotel in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts is a sanctuary jurisdiction. The Boston version of Enforcement and Removal Operations said that it filed a detainer against Alvarez with
the local sheriffs. However, the sheriff, being a sanctuary jurisdiction, did not adhere to the detainer, did not fire follow the request, and on June twenty seventh, Plymouth Superior Court refused to honor the immigration detainer and released him from custody in a five hundred dollars bond. Prosecutors wanted twenty five thousand, but the judge it no, no, no, five hundred, don't do. Boston Herald reporting that Alvarez was arrested by
ice outside his house in Brockton, Massachusetts. The Plymouth District Attorney's office said that the arrest occurred unbeknownst to our office, otherwise they would have intervened.
Any questions.
Some of you push back against me when I said this is just fine to democrats. Democrats don't care about these kinds of crimes. They don't care about the you know, the murders and the rapes and the car crashes and the It's okay because there's a bigger picture, and sometimes there must be sacrifice for the bigger cause. I call it collateral damage. They don't care.
You gotta do it.
You got to get all these illegals in it. Yeah, there's some bad apples that are gonna get it. Yeah, there might be one hundred terrorists or so, but we're getting voters. We're registering voters. I mean, people, what other conclusion can you come to when this has been happening for four years under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and they've done nothing to stop it. If it's not intentional, what is it? I keep asking the question, and for some of you, you're like, I've heard that before.
Pres.
Yeah, but you're not telling enough people about it because we're not moving the needle. This is intentional. They're intentionally allowing this to happen. And victims like that fifteen year.
Old little girl.
Who probably was here illegally herself with her family. It was a migrant hotel, they're just it's a shame that had happened. But you know, these kinds of things happen. That's how democrats view it. It's a means to an end, and that end justifies the means and any damage that
happens as a result. Forty seven minutes after the owner getting ready for Steve Stewart of Tellass reports, in just a little bit, and this is the Morning Show with President Scott, Morning Friends, ruminators, Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Males and females. Thursday on the Morning Show with Preston scottis ose Steve Stewart just a little bit on the subject of news headlines, which we will get to with
Steve local ish headlines. Kamala Harris's campaign team has been silently editing news headlines in Google search results to make it seem like major news outlets are all on her side, altered headlines, all paired with paid for by Harris for President. Now, everybody, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen this story. Kamala Harris's campaign team is editing news headlines in her favor without the outlet's knowledge. The report on that comes from Axios. Axios is a left online
news ish site. The behavior of Harris is so egregious even Axios is rolling her over. Oh, this is like watching democrats fight. It's kind of fun. Axios is rolling the Harris campaign under the bus.
It's fascinating.
Now there will be more time spent on this tomorrow than I have today. Tomorrow. This will take some time. Did you see the headline from the New York Times? Let me channel my inner rush hunter Biden sought State Department help for Ukrainian company. Isn't it interesting how Joe is out of the run for the White House and suddenly the story comes out, and I promise you there's more to come that Hunter Biden was seeking help from
the US government. He reached out to the embassy in Italy because the company sat on the board of Barisma that was under investigation in Ukraine for corruption. That was the investigation Joe Biden shut down with money from the US government the one billion dollars in loan guarantees, either this guy gets fired the investigator the attorney general for one of the states in Ukraine, or the loan guarantees are gone and by golly, they fired the guy. Biden
bragged about it. Well, now we know Hunter. New York Times New York Times story.
Hunter was trying to get a deal done in Italy.
The US Ambassador to Italy said, uh, your dad's the sitting vice president.
We have this is not something we should be talking about. Oh the timing ah ah.
The mainstream legacy media outlets will only report the truth when it's convenient for them to do it. That's an their mission. Anymore, We'll get to Truth Reporting. Next Steve Stewart on deck Thursday.
We are loaded today, my friends. Great to be with you.
It's August fifteenth, show fifty two, sixteen day thirteen oh two of America held hostage.
That's Jose.
I'm Preston and we are joined in studio by the executive editor of Talassi Reports. The website Talassi Reports dot com. Our friend and our trusted news source for all things local, and that's Talassi Reports dot Com.
Steve Stewart, Hello, good morning, Preston.
Are you you tell me how I am?
Hey?
You know, I feel you're talking. I heard you talking about the truth and you know, getting things out and there's only so much you can do. You can get the truth out there. People have to seek the truth and then they have to make decision.
It'll set them for it'll set them free. And I've said this all often.
Is you know, it's like one of the things what you do is you look at you sort of you look at the landscape and you find out where the truth is lacking, and that's sort of where you focus.
I mean, and I've talked about this.
There are campaigns that are running and they're telling you exactly who they are, and then there are campaigns where they are not. And that's the you know, that's the ones that you start to worry about because wait a minute, why aren't you telling us who you are? And then you know, when you have people that are avoiding questions, that becomes a bigger issue.
To Steve, you are taking the brunt of the blame. I'm taking some of the blame, though not I'm not getting my name in the paper and that hurt my heart. But that the Democrat didn't go ahead and call me out. Let me let me back up a little bit as we talk about the NIVA debate that was supposed to happen the forum this week with Rudy Ferguson, Lewis Dilbert and supposedly Commissioner Jack Porter. In your memory, has a candidate or an incumbent ever, no showed after accepting an invitation.
I can't remember anyone not showing up. Because these debates are they actually official, seek them out because there's such a diverse group. NIBA has been around for over twenty years.
And let me can I ask you a question on the letter were you asked to submit questions on behalf of anybody at NINA.
Yes, we were, we were asked and i've I have, I have moderated debates at NIVA.
I have been a member of NIBA. NIBA.
What they do on these questions when they when they put these forms up, which again they've done it for twenty years, have a great reputation, like I said, for doing these straw polls fairness. And so they do is they go gather questions and issues from you know, forms that have happened before, and the the you know, the I guess the irresponsibility of a sitting commissioner to be afraid to answer a question, okay, is like how does
how does someone? Questions don't hurt, they're not weapons, They're just questions that you know are going to be asked. But I think Commissioner Porter has been dodging this.
She's gone to forms that could be controlled by the narrative she wants, right, I mean for again for her to say that someone is influencing the form.
Well, she went to a form that the Talas Democrat drafted questions to help out with the leg of women voters and w FSU.
So listen, I predict I was left out. They didn't ask me for questions.
No.
And so the problem is is that what happens is is this is and this is this is really sad for our community because the progressive element in this community are.
Trying they're trying to cancel people.
Yeah right, and so they start, you know, they they've tried to cancel you and me, and now it's Niba and.
She won't answer questions. Uh, other Democrats will? I mean, you know she four years ago, it was so much different, wasn't it. Commissioner Mattle.
She sat in the chair right next to where you're sitting right there.
Commissioner Porter, coming on our radio shows, doing interviews for the print advertising and Talas reports.
And now all of a sudden they're afraid of questions.
And so you know, again, I feel like what they're doing is it's they're terrorizing the community with this cancel stuff. You know, they they're after the Chamber of Commerce, calling them corrupt. And you know, if you go to the Chamber a retreat in a media island, you're you know, you're a stooge because you're supporting developers. But if you travel to these progressive conferences, you know that you're enlightened you're enlightened, you know, and that's where their narrative is.
And so with her not showing up there, it's really just an explanation mark on a campaign where she has avoided answering questions in a lot of different venues.
And look, as I've said, it's up to the voters. I mean this if you if.
You look at this, it really looks politically immature for someone who is actually as a sitting commissioner.
You've got to you've got to answer questions. But anyway, that's the route she took. More with Steve Stewart Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Write them at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes he knows how to read. Well, actually his producer reads him. He doesn't know how to read.
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Learn, ladies and gentlemen, wherever your community, whatever you call home, learn from what's going on here. Steve Stewart. Tallasseie reports with us Steve. One of the angles that the illiberal progressives, the Ryan Ray attack machine inside the local Democrat party's taking is that the city's advertising with Tallahassee reports well.
They're paying us, Preston, they're paying us. Well.
But here's the thing, and this is what I challenged William Hatfield On. I wrote William a pretty lengthy note. I said, Bill, you know for a fact that that attack is not accurate because newspapers have been taking money from county, city, state for legal notices, public notices, promotional of events for years, whether there's actual cash or whether it's trade. They've been advertising with newspapers for years. There's nothing new in this, No, there's not.
I mean they're at they the city, the County OEV advertises with the ties demmer iHeart, the advertise with the Capital Outlook, which the Capital out look, and so there's a lot of advertising. This is again, this is a move from the progressive to try to cancel people and try to they try to tar them and make them
seem illegitimate. And what they don't deal with is they're trying to deal with a messenger instead of the actual facts, right and so like you know, one of the issues is when you look at Commissioner Porter when she gets asked about the tax question, because that's one of her big deals.
You know, I'm fiscally conservative. I've voted against this tax increase three times. And she says that, And what happens in these forums that are friendly to her is they just let her say that.
They don't follow up and say, what about the WCTV interview?
Right exactly? Well that, I mean, that's what's gonna happen at me. But you're gonna get the tough questions.
Everybody is all.
Right, they asked Rudy Ferguson about his donations from uh business related packs. You got to put your big boy pants on and show up and answer the questions, okay. And so the fact that they were there, you know, they want to go after the messenger instead of saying, well, wait a minute, I have never if you look at the critiques, even you know of us, you never say, well, you know they're they're wrong on that. That's that'sn't that's not it's a personal attack. It they're trying to kill
the messenger. And so anyway, it's uh, uh you got but you have to keep your eye. You can't be distracted by this stuff. You have to keep your eye on what you're trying to do, which is to get the truth out. And that's what we're trying to do one Tallahassee is the pack that Jerry matt Low founded. It's unprecedented that a sitting elected official starts a pack to attack colleagues and endorse candidates like this. In the front of your new newspaper that's coming out, it says
California Cash Commissioner. Mattlow made a point of saying that this is going to be a grassroots type of pack, funded by locals to have a local push. And yet, but what better than seventy percent of the money now is coming from one person in California. It's one organization, right, And so there's two parts of this.
This is a grassroots right and so I mean, he's a hypocrite obviously about this, and he's also a liar because you know, he goes on and says, well, you know, this is the Green Advocacy Project. It's about environmentalism, and these are good people. All you got to do is go look this up. This project is this This group is a front to funnel money to left wing organizations in the name of the environment. You go to a website called open Secrets and put in the Green Avenski Project.
They've donated money to socialist groups to defund the police groups. And so if they're coming to Tallahassee under the guise of being environmental, well.
But I mean, I'm sorry, but is there anything on anyone's campaign dot Inman, Jack Porter, Jeremy Rodgers that's about the environment.
No, it's not. And that's the whole that's the whole fraud of this.
This is why they don't show up to ask questions, because they're lying to the public and they're trying to mislead for their ideological purposes. Again, when you listen to this, we're not talking about Republicans and Democrats. No, we're talking about all Democrats and they are and just own what
you are. And the thing is is the reporting and you know, and don't want to get emotional here and get you know, strained out, but the reporting from w FSU, these TV stations and the Democrats they're not telling you any of this. This great green advoacy project. They just write that and they're like, oh, this is an environmental group.
It's not an environmental group. It's one guy, okay, who's a millionaire who is a Bernie Sanders disciple like socialism, you know, and he's sent him money to tell I see.
And you've got to ask yourself why. Yeah, because they want control of the state capitol. Yeah, it's crazy.
They're not going to control the state, but yeah, yeah the city where the capital is. Yes, it's just And again I think a common theme that we're just saying to people is own it. Just own it, be honest about who you are and let people decide. But they can't do they cannot because that is a electoral loss for them, exactly.
All right, More with Steve Stewart Next sixteen.
Past final segment with Steve Stewart, Tallahassee Reports and the website tell Us Reports dot com.
Steve. Early voting is underway. Yes, I noticed that.
I saw the get a little bit of updates from different people on the turnout and stuff not. You know, you look at you try to compare what's going on
to previous elections. There's a lot of different variables moving around. Sure, but turnout a little low right now, you know, given parisons and you know, there was a I think you remember the article with you know, in Leon County, the Democrats don't have a majority, a plurality, They don't have fifty percent of the because of independence numbers are really high.
And you know they remember they scrubbed the roles together.
They've got a plurality, but not a majority exactly, okay, And so it'll be interesting to see how all that plays out. You know, when these local elections in the August twentieth, everybody can vote Republicans, Democrats, MPAs and but a lot of these races can be settled before anybody, you know, wakes up and says, wait a minute, I'm waiting till November. There's a superintendent's primary, Yes, Rocky Hannah against miss Swain I believe her name is from and
didn't hasn't gotten a lot of attention. Two school board races and Daniel Zu and Jeremy Rogers and Lori Cox right now, both of those races are nonpartisan.
However, the Lori Cox.
Race and the Jeremy Rodgers race has made the most has gotten the most ink because the Democrats are going after the only Republican in elected office in the school board, the Leon County or the city. So that's become very partison. Even though it's a non partisan race. The key in that race is going to see if because.
That district that Lorie Cox represents is more Democrat than Republican by a pretty good margin.
However, Lorie Cox has been here for forty years. She's got a lot of relationships. This will be what I'll be watching for in this race is to see if relationships and sort of geography she's been in the school system will trump someone who has just got into running because he's a Democrat and being supported by this California cash. Jeremy Rodgers is also being supported by Commission Mattlow with this California money.
We should note.
That, yeah, County judges, there's three running for one seat.
Yeah, I think that if you look at that not again, not a lot of ink on those seats that you know. The judges have a different they have a different rules on what they can say. Yeah, it's tough to figure it out. It's almost about bio and history, you know. And so that race, though, that is one that will probably get split with the three running from just looking at the dynamical.
Push over fifty percent.
You don't think, I don't think, because uh, they the all three are out there.
I've seen signs and I was in one of the forums.
A couple people were there. Uh, they were standing up and speaking on their behalf. So be interesting to see where that goes. No County Commission races, they're all you know. The way they do it is if you only have two, you move right to November. So we don't have anything to worry about. You've got the two races coming up in November.
November.
Yeah, so that'll be interesting and fun. But the city does have things that people are going to vote on. Yeah, those are the you know, the biggest races. Is the biggest I mean it's the billion dollar budget.
So you're you're looking at at control of the City Commission is on the ballot. You know, the balance of the Commission is there, and so those are the biggest races. And it's Jack.
Porter who's the incumbent against Rudy Ferguson and Louis.
Gililbert who and I will say all you know, the two challengers who showed up at the need of debate, Rudy Ferguson got eighty eight. They do they did very well. I mean in terms of anne it was very fair process. They're very tough questions. You know, you show up and you answer them, and they Rudy Ferguson got eighty eight percent of the members only straw Pole. Again, what struck me with Rudy Ferguson was his emotional tie in the community.
He's been here for he went to Griffin Middle School. He's been buried for over thirty five years. Got four kids. Ones a firefighter, are going to be a firefighter. One works at Amazon. Very well connected.
Louis Dilbert moved here from South Florida, works at FAMU. They were both very buttoned up in their answers and their approaches.
And so and they owned their positions. Lewis Dilbert owned the position. Yeah, he was not pandering to anyone.
He was, you know, he was looking for more development equity on the south Side. He was clear in saying that the incentive pay to Amazon. He thought, you know, listen, you know it's two and a half million dollars. We could use that somewhere else. They're coming anyway, So I mean listen, they yeah, they were, they were solid. Now the Curtis Richardson Race, it's a box of chocolates, Preston,
it's you got dot. Eamon Johnson, who was a loss of commission race thirty years ago and is back trying to get on the City Commission.
Ye, you never know what you're gonna get when people are running for office. We asked dot she she was good enough to sit down. She sat down for about an hour and a half with me.
Yeah.
The problem that that. Look, Curtis Richard has owned the tax increase. Yep, he said I had to have. We had to do it to hire more police officers because of the violent crime spike. Violent crime incidents are down over the last you know, last two year six months. The problem with DoD Hman Johnson is there promises she's going to roll back that tax increase, which is just.
A you know, it's pandering. It's it's fifty million dollars with no plan.
Yeah, if you want to do that, fine, but you're gonna have to cut some pretty you gotta have to cut some projects, right, and there's no plan. Then you got two other candidates who have raised very little money and just are really uh. Bernard Stevens who shows up and just hit the City Commission and just into them.
The website that he has has expired, so it's just not very active.
And then a lady named Donna Nayak, who is showed up to maybe one form hasn't raised any money, so they're all on the ballot though.
It'll be interesting to watch.
Yes, thanks as always, Thank you, Preston twenty seven past the hour, it This Morning Show with Preston Scott.
That escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast. On WFLA.
Thirty five minutes past the hour, paust for thought, just a few minutes away road trip idea you're traveling the fruited plain.
Got a different one for you this morning.
It's it's And I had to really think about do I really want to push this out there?
And I decided, yeah, why not? Why not? We're big boys and girls, by the way, That's all we are. You know what I'm saying. Good morning and welcome Scott Beacon. Next hour.
Also next hour, first time appearance of Mary Rook. She's a columnist with the Daily Caller. Talk to Mary about a piece she's penned about the vice President I refer to as the vice resident anyway, Big stories in the press box. I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you that the search.
Assassination of.
And I forget what the exact verbiage was when we pushed that story out there, and I had people push back and say, now, Preston, it comes up. No, you're I'm talking about the auto search feature. If you look up assassination of Trump and type that in, you'll get news stories about it. Although have you noticed how those stories have just stopped. What you don't get is the auto fill feature that leads you why, because Google exects.
Here's the headline. Pressed to testify after admitting Trump assassination attempt, search omissions were by design. I told you they did it by design, and they did. They've admitted it. Why because they categorized it as late as the end of the month of July, two weeks later as a hypothetical, hypothetical political violence against current figures. They called that a hypothetical event, and so they suppressed it.
Duck, duck, Go.
There are other search engines, folks, you still have to do. I'm just saying, but the big, big story in the press, that's the big story. Here's the big, big story. We told you last not last month. June Fauci and his crewhid gain of function research on MPOs otherwise known as monkey pox from Congress from the media.
Ergo, you.
What that means, if you're not certain, gain of function means taking a viral condition of virus and fiddling with it, doctoring it. In this case, going back to twenty fifteen, they were engineering mpox monkey pox with high transmissibility and moderate mortality. Now on the front end, you have to say, why would you do that, Why would you take a virus and make it more dangerous and more easily transmissible, Well, a bio weapon. Fauci's group was doing it. He knew it,
they funded it. Now we fast forward to the headline that came out yesterday, World Health Organization declares mpoc's outbreak in Africa a global health emergency. Oh, by the way, this is mostly transmissible by gay sex mail to mail, But here we are. World Health Organization wants to use health emergencies to take control of nations. Some nations are just fine with that. So far, we haven't signed. Biden wants to. The UK pushed back against this. But here's
the big issue. The gain of function research has led to a problem that the World Health Organization is going to take advantage of and leverage And oh, by the way, an election is coming in November. Doctor Steve Steverson is standing by Pause for Thought is next. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Forty one past the hour.
Remember if you want to write us Preston at iHeartRadio dot com or Jose can you see c A n U se at iHeartRadio dot com. Let's talk about our pets, dogs, cats, and other Doctor Steve Steverson joins us from the Bradfordville Animal Hospital. Go on, sir, hey, I'm doing well. Let me tell you what inspired all of this. My oldest son adopted from my grandson a red bearded dragon, and and uh, when I looked into it, I was amazed at how big those things get.
But I was curious.
How often do you see in practice exotic pets.
They're not very often, Preston West are so busy with Duksin cats, we'll see the occasional bird or reptile, but not as often. There's nothing sort of there's no vaccine for reptiles or birds, so we typically will see them when they have a medical problem. If they're healthy, we don't see them that often.
How does someone know if and and go through the litany, I mean, whether it's a snake, a lizard, a bird, a ferret. How do you know, if your pets not doing well.
Yeah, usually you get you know, people that have have a snake or a bird or some other reptile. You get to know your pet and so you know it's eating habits and it's sleeping habits and where it hangs out in it's in its environment, and so you get to know it has something's wrong. You know, he's not eating well, or he's not going to his normal hot rock,
or the bird's not perching like it usually does. They get to where they just know, they'll bring them in and a lot of times they're bring on some nonspecific descriptions of a problem and then we have to kind of figure out what's happening and why they're behaving the way they are, and what the problem really is. So you know, usually it's something like that that they stop eating or stop sleeping where they normally do. Something like That's what the reason that we see them to.
Begin with doctor Severson with with like lizards and snakes, how often are problems traced to what people are feeding those those pets, you.
Know, person a lot of times that's a huge issue. That's probably the number that is the number one reason we see reptiles at least is because they're not on a proper diet. They'll come in and they've been on some diet that someone bought that in any advice or the advice from just the part time in the wage work through at the pet store, and so they're feeding
the inappropriate diet. And now you know, very often what we'll see is we'll see a you know, like a red beard, a dragon that's on an inappropriate diet and then they have a efficiency of calcium or vitamin D. They don't get a good bone structure, and they'll come in with what we call a pathologic fracture when they have weak bones and they'll break a bone because of it. Hopefully it's not a severe situation. We can get them on the right diet and they'll heal very quickly. So
absolutely nutrition is extremely important. Definitely, if they're new to having an exotic pet, you want to talk to your veterinaria and make sure that you have them on the right diet, the right environment, right set up in your terrium or your whatever their environment is, so that they are going to be safe and healthy.
What are the best ways to keep birds healthy?
So birds take a lot of neet, a lot of stimulation preston. So you know, if they just stay in that little cage and they spend their whole life in that cage, then they get bored and anxious and stress. They have all kinds of psychological behavioral problems. They start doing what we call feather picking and plucking at their feathers and pull them out, and they'll have a bird that's half bald because they're just so stressed they start
plucking their feathers. And so it's really important that you have a bird has a very rich environment in and out of their cage. Then you'd be in the cage overnight. That a lot of times is safest, but I think you'd be able to be out of the cage and interact with people. So they have a lot of stimulation.
So a lot of advice is given to a person that's new to having a bird, whether that's from a veterinarian or you have someone who's a seasoned bird owner that can talk to you about that, how to handle them, how to keep a bird properly. That's really really important.
Good stuff, Doctor Steverson, thanks so much for the time. We'll talk again soon.
Great.
Thanks bresting.
Thank you, sir, doctor Steve Steverson with the Bradfordville Animal Hospital.
Pause for thought.
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Fifty one minutes past the hour.
Like a lot of Guinness records, this, you just sit and go why. But like I said, that's what you could say about a bunch of these achievements. A dedicated gamer from Saudi Arabia, Ibrahim al Nasser of Read, earned a Guinness World Record by hooking up four hundred and forty four video game consoles to one TV, more than thirty RC switchers, more than twelve HDMI switchers, and various other modes of connection. His consoles include a Magnavox Odyssey in Xbox three, sixty, Nintendo Switch.
We you.
Some extremely rare consoles like a Super A Can. I've never heard of it, never heard of it. What's not listed is a PlayStation, which just blows my mind. But he's surely got to have a PlayStation. He's got a Sega Genesis. He calls it the number one game console of all time. I've never played a Sega Genesis console,
so I don't know. But again, I just think to myself, he just he decided to pursue this because he didn't want to keep having to unplug and plug in consoles, so he wanted one a way to just whatever he wanted to play, he could play it. But four hundred and forty four Sweet goodness, man, can you even remember how to play four hundred and forty four different games? Let alone the consoles and the layouts.
Of the.
Controllers makes my head hurt. All right, let's do this, And I warned you. This road trip suggestion from Unique America is a little different for me because I'm going into the world of the spooky movie Stephen King's movie The Shining. That movie likely saved what is called the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. First of all, if you've ever seen The Shining, it's Jack Nicholson, I think Shelley Duvall. It's creepy. It's a it's a creepy movie.
That said it was written by Stephen King. After King went to this hotel in I want to say it was the early nineteen seventies or so, he was so impressed. He stayed in room two seventeen and it's a suite. It's called the Stephen King Sweet that he decided to write a book sort of based on this hotel, and it was and it's the Shining And so new ownership came around and it became a popular site because of
the book Slash movie. When the movie came out, it was it was filmed there, and so it became iconic. And if you go to the website Stanleyhotel dot com, you are gonna first of all, just a visit to the homepage. They did some drone photography of that hotel that is next level.
It's just cool. And now they've leaned into the whole thing.
As in ghosts and you know, tours and they do some creepy stuff and so it's it's an interesting hotel history because it was founded by Freeland Oscar Stanley the Stanley Steamer automobile.
They that guy went there on a vacation to Estes Park.
And one season there he was healed of his health problems and he said he was gonna come back every summer. Well, a few years later they built the hotel and in nineteen oh nine, the Stanley Hotel opened and it was about to get hit by the wrecking Ball when the shining came out, and all of a sudden, people's fascination with this place just jumped off the map and they leaned into it. The new owners, they refurbished. It's a beautiful place and it's just right there in the mountains.
But it does have that creepy sidebar story and it runs through the entire place. They they've leaned into it. As I said, they've got magic shows that.
Are kind of a little weird. They do some other things that are a little weird. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Okay, be advised if you go, just say it all right.
When we come back.
Scott Beacon, the bee Line blogger, will join us next here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Five minutes past the hour. It's the third hour.
Unbelievably, we're already here Thursday edition of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
He's ose, I'm Preston. It is show fifty two sixteen.
We remind you that if you are dissatisfied with the broadcast today, go to customer service and give them the show number five two one six and they will refund you your money. We're grateful to have you with us Ruminators and joining us on the program. Is one of our favorite guests and content providers by virtue of his blog. It's the bline blogger dot blogspot dot com. Just remember
that and sign up get the newsletters. That's the best way to I mean, Scott, would you describe it as a as a newsletter or how do you describe what you do?
Well? I think that's not a bad way to describe it. I try to provide real content backed up by facts and data. I have some opinions, of course, but I always try to back it up with with real life data and facts because I'm a data guy.
That's what you can use.
You can use the news moniker. That's fine with me.
Scott Beacon is our guest and we're going to touch on a few different blogs he's pushed out this month, and I want to start with one because it connects to one of our big stories today, Scott. Google executives have admitted that that they manipulated the search algorithm so that the Trump assassination was categorized as a hypothetical event. You detailed what was going on at the time in your blog called Weird and weirder.
Exactly, and I know you've talked about it. I mean, it's kind of kind of weird in the way goes on. But I think it really shows you just how deep this mainstream media social media cabal really is with regard to putting their I don't want to say thumbs on the scales. I mean they're putting the entire bodies on the scale with regard to trying to manipulate the news and affect public opinion.
What's interesting is you chronicle very very well how suddenly the word weird has become the go to for the media and even now we're seeing in the candidates.
Exactly. And it's kind of interesting to go back in the history, especially where we are today, because it appears from my research, the first person that used that word referring to JD. Vance and Donald Trump was actually Tim Walls, you know, well before he was named the vice presidential nominee,
and then it was picked up. But this kind of shows you just the way, and I know you've chronicled this as well, the way the mainstream media and social media giants, you know, kind of work with Democrats to kind of affect public opinion. You know, without a very short period of time, kind of the story goes out, I guess, and that word weird referring to jd Vance
or Donald Trump. In fact, if you look at two days, only two days on CNN and MSNBC, the word weird was used one hundred and fifty times on those two networks and just two days to refer to jd.
Vance.
It's pretty incredible to see how that works. But the funny thing about it is when you look at weird and I know something about Jadi Vance being from Ohio and actually lived in the same town he did for about thirteen years, you know, there's there's nothing weird about jad Vance. I mean when you look at his upbringing and what he's accomplished, and yet that kind of got in the media narrative, and that's the way the Democrats and the media like to portray things.
Yeah, what is it that's so weird about a guy that just succeeds against circumstances, Because there was a time when that was like embraced by everybody.
Exactly. I mean, you know, he's got a tremendous life story. I mean I say that I lived in the same town he did for thirteen years Middletown, Ohio. Never met JD. You know he was living on the wrong side of tracks when he was growing up compared to my kids and where I lived at the time. And now it's kind of different. I'm still on the wrong side of track, writes out of the Track. I guess you'd say, well,
where he's owned up his life story. But you know, here's a guy that you had, a drug addicted, alcohol addicted, the mother, had broken home, brought up by his grandmother. Smart guy, but understood that he didn't have the maturity and the money to go to college and looked in the US Marine Corps for four years, came out, graduated summa cum laude from Ohio State University, went under Yale Law School of Yale Law Review. I mean, what weird about that?
Scott Beacon with me this morning.
He's the b line blogger bl line blogger dot blogspot dot com.
I get his blogs.
Every single time they're pushed out, and I encourage you to do the same.
So just go there and sign up when we come back.
The weird shoe does it fit Tim Walls better than it does the people that they're assigning that word to talk about that next year.
In the Morning Show with Crestin Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on news Radio one hundred point seven w.
FLA Scott Beacon with me Bleep b Line Blogger and It's just b Line Blogger blocks at dot blogspot dot com. You mentioned Tim Walls and his fascination with the word weird. I've always commented that illiberals accuse others of being what they are, and it just seems literally to.
Be the case, Scott.
I find Kamala Harris to be incompetent and not very intelligent. I find Tim Walls horrifying.
Well, yeah, I got to say I didn't know much about Tim Walls here until recently. I mean, I certainly knew that he'd used the weird term. The biggest thing I knew about him once he had presided over the state of Minnesota, when you had all the riots, the Black Lives Matter ryots in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and you know, I couldn't understand how a governor could stand by and let two biggest cities in the state be burned to the ground practically. So yeah, I mean, it's
he's a strange character. When you really look into his background, and especially for the stolen valor comments and everything else, it's just a puzzling choice when you get to Kamala Harrison or Judgment and say, I just don't understand it.
I mean, I.
Understood Josh Sapiro from Pennsylvania potentially being a good pick in a swing state, and I understood Mark Kelly in Arizona being a potentially good pick for her, but then literally coming out of left field, Tim Walls, Its just it is a weird choice.
What puzzles me is they're trying to rewrite. Let's let's focus for just a second on the stolen valor and let's forget the absolute bizarre comments made by his wife about burning tires and I mean, just that nonsense. And if we set aside the fact that he got married on the date he did so that he could remember Tianamen Square massacre that the Chinese government did on freedom loving citizens in China, if we zero in on the stolen valor thing, Scott he had challenge coins made showing
the rank of that was stolen. He this is not misspeaking. This has been part of his bio that he's been using for decades.
Exactly. I mean, it's the whole reason that he got into politics. I mean, he was recruited to run because of his National Guard kind of military background. He was a social studies teacher, and they Democrat Party went out and actually recruited him because they were looking for someone with a military background to run in that congressional district. And so everything that he's done in politics has kind
of been based on that National Guard military record. But that wasn't enough for him, you know, he had to go beyond and and really kind of uh, you know, spend the spend this tale of being an Afghanistan and having a rank that that he retired with that he really didn't.
Uh.
It is kind of weird to see how this whole thing has played out.
Did I read properly in your blog, Scott, that that he actually mocked the National Guard during those riots.
Yeah, that's the thing that's kind of strange because he kind of plays up his military service in the National Guard and what you know, and he was a master sergeant and he actually uh was for a while command master sergeant before he was demoted when he retired, and he had never fulfilled the requirements for the for the rank. But the weird thing is when he did not call out the uh National Guard, and the mayor of Minneapolis asked,
actually had to ask him to do it. When he was questioned about that, he kind of belittled the National Guard and said, well, they're just a bunch of nineteen year old cooks. You know, these aren't really accomplished military figures that are going to come in and do anything. It's really strange because he's belittling exactly the same place in the military that he served for twenty four years. I mean, it's really weird.
We're not even touching on the transgender policies and beliefs are, which are absolutely I think they border on insane.
Exactly, or or the fact that he made thirty trips to communists China with students that was paid by the Chinese government. Ostensibly that's a little strange in himself with regard to how deep you know, we don't know how deep those ties are.
Scott beakan with me and again subscribe b Line Blogger dot blogspot dot com. More to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty one minutes past the hour, Scott began Beeline blogger with me and we were talking about Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, and you know, there's so many areas Scott that we could touch on. And I think something we talked about in the break his actions
during COVID were well, they were heinous. And you were documenting one story that came out after you wrote the piece on Tim Walls.
Exactly and then people can find this. There's a New York Post story on it. It's a video that's going back to May of twenty twenty when Walls had a curfew order in the state of Minnesota and Minneapolis, and it shows a video that a young family took and they were on their porch and you see about twenty five heavily armed police and a humsie going down the street. You got to think when you first see the video, this has got to be somewhere else. I mean, this
can't be in the United States of America. And they're shouting to people who are on their front porch get in your house, and they start shooting paintballs at people to get them off their porch and into their own house. And this is Tim Walls and a curfew that you put in and the police that are enforcing the curfew. It's shocking that this is the United States of America, and the contrast, for example, with Florida and what you
had under Governor DeSantis is just it's unbelievable. It's like you're living in two different realities.
That really segues nicely, Scott to the two different realities, the realities of Kamala Harris and the reality that the mainstream media now is trying to present to America about Kamala Harris and a recent campaign stop really starts to underscore that point.
Exactly. I mean, you've got you've got Kamala Harris, who's been the nominee here for three weeks or so, not taking interview interviews or doing anything with regard to policy positions. I haven't looked in the last day or so, but as of a day ago, there's still without one policy position or platform on the Kamala Harris website. There's nothing to tell anybody what she stands for. And it appears right now that she is running Joe Biden's basement campaign.
Without the basement, you know, there's there's just nothing out there to get a hold on, and everything is being manufactured and it goes so far that you know, Trump announced this no tax on tips policy that he was going to try to promote a couple of months ago. Well, now Kamala Harris magically is in Nevada over the weekend, and now she's she's for not taxing tips. And then a day later, Joe Biden does he's not for taxing tips.
And yet these are the same people that put eighty seven thousand additional IRS employees on the roles to try to raise more money, including more compliance on tips, a year ago. I mean, it's really pretty incredible when you look at the two realities, you know, the reality that we saw from them a year ago and where they say that they are today.
Scott, Why, what's your best guess on why the mainstream media has just surrendered any semblance of integrity? For example, they might ask an initial FAE question, but they just accept the answer and they don't follow up when there are things like you just pointed out, readily available, readily known. Yeah, but that's not how you've governed, That's not what you and the president did, et cetera.
Why why won't they do their job?
Well?
I answer is we've done for a long time. There's a heavily leftist liberal bent in the medium, and you can look at almost any data that shows that, and that's clearly been there for a long time. And then you combine that with their disdain for Donald Trump and the Republican Party in particular right now, and you add that up, and so they're going to be blind anything
that's out there. I mean, they were blind to Joe Biden's of dementia and other problems for a very long time until it was in public view and they could not do it any longer. And I think they're going to try to play this out as long as they can with as Kamala, and we'll see if that's the case. And you're starting to see a little bit I think you mentioned it in the previous hour that axios and others are starting to maybe raise some questions. So we'll see if they start to grow a little bit more.
How long could she go without really being a subject to any kind of scrutiny.
It's almost like some of these kind of out of the realm of the legacy media, mainstream media, you know, the axioses of the world, and who knows who else may follow. It's almost like they're getting a little red pilled. They're starting to see the light a little bit about how bad this is in reality.
Now, we certainly hope, because there's just no question. If you add up Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, you know there has never been a more radical ticket in the history of the United States of America. And the problem is that the average America that doesn't pay a lot of attention, they have no idea. They have no idea because that's the game plan. As I've written my blog, this is all an ass. I mean, the Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are playing roles right now and that's
what they're trying to do. And we'll see if that will stand or whether there could be a breakthrough and people will actually see the truth.
Scott is always thanks for the info and thanks for the time.
Preston. Always a pleasure, enjoyed it. Have a great day.
Thank you, sir, Scott.
Beacon with us and again subscribe Bline Blogger dot blogspot dot com.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thanks for sticking around. Folks Show fifty two sixteen. Great to be with you.
Jose running the program over there in Studio one A, and I'm here sequestered in Studio one B, and I'm thrilled.
To meet a new acquaintance.
Mary Rook is a commentary and analysis writer for The Daily Caller and joins us this morning.
Mary, welcome, how are you hi?
Thanks so much for having me.
My pleasure, you have penned a piece. Kamala's record rears its ugly head after she's caught stealing from Trump.
Oh the irony of it all.
I know, you know, it's always really interesting during an election season anyway, but then to watch how they are trying to more of her into, say, a populist conservative candidate, while also running one of the most far left campaigns possible is just crazy. I mean, you're sitting here looking at the woman who has helped destroy the economy for the last four years, then come in and start touting policies promoted by foreign President Donald Trump, and then expect
for the American people to just buy it. And you know, it's kind of one of those wild situations that I think only American voters have to go through.
But there are people that are buying it. And you know, we heard the term years ago low information voter I've kind of allowed that to morph into something I'm calling shallow information voters. We have people that just read headlines.
Mary, Yeah, you know.
And I think that whenever you talk about people who are just reading headlines. I think that's the reason why the story that broke this week about the Kamala campaign altering headlines from major news networks and using them as ads on Google with such a big deal, because you're absolutely right where people will just read a headline and they won't click through. I mean, you'll see that in your own reporting, and so the issue is so a lot of that kind of momentum and support for Kamala
Harris is definitely media manufactured. I'm not talking about you know, AI crowds or people not showing up. I'm talking about real people out in Middle America who is supporting you. I think that we realize that, you know, rally crowds are not always indicative of election day support. And one of the things that was really remarkable in that New York Times Pienapol although it pulls heavily towards Kamala Harris, and it not only does it pull towards Kamala Harris,
but it's when they were. You know, when you look at the bottom line of who they actually asked, it swung heavily towards the Democrats. I think it was something like Democrats plastics over Republican course. Regardless of that, the interesting part of it was the fact that Kamala Harris has actually lost a percentage of people who say they are going to show up in November and vote for her, whereas Donald Trump has actually gained two percentage points in
that poll. And so you have a poll that is heavily skewed towards the Democratic Party, and yet Donald Trump is still gaining two percent of people that are saying they will actually show up and vote in November. And that's the bottom line. It's not who's going to show up to a rally in Las Vegas when it's right down the street for them, It's who's going to show up at the battle box in November.
Mary Rook joins us. She is a writer with The Daily Caller. She offers commentary and analysis. And we'll stay with us for another segment. We got more to come here in the Morning Show with Prestin Scott.
Those serving communities as law enforcement officers and first responders, I say, you are all essential work. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston.
Scott, letting us intrude on her morning Mary Brook with us from the Daily Caller Mary. For those that might not have been paying attention even when I talked about it the TIMPs story, Kamala shamelessly's got nothing on her website, she's not taken any questions, she's got no platform, and then she just rips one off of Donald Trump.
Yeah.
I mean it's really hilarious because the problem is for her is that we already know what her policies are. Not only have Americans sat through the last four years of herd vice presidency in the Biden Harris administration, but she ran for president in twenty twenty and her policies were clearly laid out. And one of the things that she stole from Donald Trump was his big idea to
have no tax on tips. When you know, when Kamala Harris puts it out, of course, mainstream media, regime media is going to come out and say, oh, look, this is a really great plan. All of these things are going to be really great for the American people. Whenever President Trump puts it out, you know, a CBS news you know, puts the story out that says this is going to cost the federal government two hundred and fifty billion dollars over ten years. Look at this crazy idea
that Trump has. And so the problem with Kamala Harris though, is that during her administration, she's already taxing tips more than any other administration before her. The IRS introduced a new service service industry tip reporting program last year, and essentially what happens is it's a niche line for employers and they get a certain percentage tax break as long as they are inputting all of these the tip compliance
reports correctly. And so essentially what it does is it allows the federal government to mom at our employer compliance based on what they believe is their annual tip revenue. And I actually need to correct myself because I don't believe they get a tax break from this by allowing them. I believe it's actually just forced by the federal government. So I want to just correct that for your listeners,
as they know. But the program they claim will decrease taxpayer and IRS administrative burdens and you know, help the American people provide transparency and all of these things. But essentially, what it's allowing the federal government to do is to take an extra look at what you do on a daily basis, and you know, there's no where to hide, I guess is how they kind of want it to be.
And so Kamala Harris can try and claim that she wants to have no tax on tips, but her own policies that they put in place over the last forty years they different.
Mary.
In your role, you kind of take a macro view and look at what's going on in the landscape of this election cycle right now, I'm curious do you think Donald Trump and his team, maybe more so Donald Trump, because I'm not sure anybody can really harness him, right, I mean, he's going to just be Donald Trump. A lebrad doesn't change his spots. But the fact of the matter is he has discipline issues sometimes with his messaging.
Does he have the discipline to see this through, to stay focused on the issues that matter most and not get sidetracked by the personality issues?
Yeah?
I think so absolutely. I think that, you know, part of the draw to Donald Trump for a lot of people are is his ability to kind of go on a tangent and hit those wilder points. But then at the same time, whenever you listen to the discussion between him and Elon must the other day on x the last thirty forty five minutes of the conversation with policy, they bounced ideas off about nuclear energy. They talked about all of these and economic issues within the American economy.
And I think that Donald Trump has a really you know, like you said, unhunorsable ability for people to come and watch him not only talk about some of these you know, locker up which was really famous in twenty sixteen, and you know, those kinds of Kambala type responses, but then also really get into the nitty gritty. I mean, in his North Carolina stock yesterday, I felt like this was his comeback, essentially ending the honeymoon period for Kamala Harris.
It was really well done. He spoke well, he spoke about the policies, He was very energetic. It got very reminiscent of twenty sixteen, I believe, and I think that we had to sit back and realize that there is a major propaganda campaign going on by regime media to make us feel like there's absolutely no chance for Trump to win in November, and I think that the American people just need to sit back and realize that we've been through this before twenty sixteen. We saw it with
Hillary Clinton. We you know, there was absolutely no chance that Donald Trump was going to win then. And you know, then obviously we know he's spent four years in the White House. So I think that as long as you know, as long as we can get him to focus on the economy, focus on illegal immigration, focus on those issues
that really hit home, believe it or not. His comments about black jobs, although it's been you know, denigrated by a bunch of people in regime media, that's hitting home in black neighborhoods and black communities because they are seeing their jobs being taken away from them, and you know, they are seeing the effects of illegal immigration on their communities. And I think that that's where he's able to speak
to first. I also believe that Jade Vance is going to be such a great person for him to have in his campaign cycle this year, because he really speaks to deathly call a vodor and that's going to be what wins either Kamala or Trump.
The White House.
Mary tell Connor to get you booked on here.
Again Hi, Well, thank you, hey.
Thanks for the time this morning. I appreciate it. All right, have a good morning, Mary Brook.
With us from the Daily Caller. You read your stuff. There more to come forty seven past the hour.
Tomorrow.
Some questions about a plane crash in Blazil.
That has a lot of people alarmed. I'll explain.
More on the sudden interest in documents that have suddenly f on their way out. Regarding Hunter Biden seeking government assistance with Barisma while his dad was vice president, No way, what a coincidence. It's crazy, right, told you yesterday about a message in a bottle that was found dating back to World War Two. Well, the record case you're interested for the oldest message found in a bottle belongs to
an Australian couple. Tanya and Kim Illman found a message that dated back to eighteen eighty six in a gin bottle which was thrown overboard by the captain of the German ship Paula. It currently holds the record for the oldest message in the bottle. Currently, I have in my hands a story of a discovery on a New Jersey beach over the fourth of July weekend this summer that could shatter that record. That story coming tomorrow morning on the Morning Show with Preston.
Scott, brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA, Right right.
I know a bunch of you aren't getting up first thing in the morning to hear that, but you should.
And if you don't, go back to the podcast.
Huh huh, that's called a tease.
I'm just being a jerk, all right.
We started the show with soaling thirty seven, verse three until we began the broadcast again reminding you do the right thing by your kids. Start with some scriptures, some prayera hug, and I love you. Don't send them the school upset again. Check out the podcast and you'll hear the morning devotional and something I think God laid on my heart this morning as I was praying, and I shared it because that's what I do.
I share. I shared when I was a kid too. I shared with kids, I shared with my cousins. Didn't share a lot with my brother. He was older by six years, my brother Patrick.
I was like a hey, Google execs admitting that the Trump assassination search online that we talked about, we were right, they did suppress searches because they decided to call it a hypothetical violent act didn't really happen.
Congress wants wants a word, as they say.
World Health Organization declares an IMPOS outbreak in Africa after the they're calling it a global health emergency.
Really you don't say.
And back in June, we learned that Anthony Fauci's crew was doing gain of function research beginning in twenty fifteen on.
Mpox.
Monkey pox, which by the way, can only be trans welled, is mostly transmitted by gay mail sex just saying, just saying, I'm just gonna stop right there. Check out the show tomorrow. We got the best and the worst. We got what's the beef, the Blazzi clash headlines from the being so much more. Friends, have an awesome day. Thanks for listening.
