Ep. 5221: Your health, the election, and some American history

to keep reminding you. This entire segment started with the idea of you encouraging your kids and speaking God's word with them to them, praying over them. You do because obviously you start your day with scripture every day. Now that I know the way life works for so many of us, and so really this is just kind of an encouragement to all of us to start our day a little bit differently. And I know that for many of you, your day's coming to an end. You're listening

to this show after working all night long. I get it. So here's how you end your day, no matter what. It's just reorganizing your life in such a way that you're spending some time reading scripture. I was listening to John Lennox, one of the great apologists of our era, offer what would be his last words? If this was it? And he was saying one last thing to people, to his children, to his family and friends, what would it be?

And he went on too, this beautiful monologue of the importance of just spending time getting to know God through reading his word. And he said, if you just put down your digital devices. He said, if you consider the amount of time you spend doing things that are frivolous, and you just take some of that time and spend it with God's word, your life will be transformed. And he shared how he came to know Christ. And this Lennox, one of the great minds, one of the great mathematicians

of any generation, brilliant man. And here he is, this man steeped and worldly knowledge, who just everything thing came to a thundering halt, just like.

you to speak into your children is this. Find peers, classmates, friends, strangers who need encouragement. Encourage them. Just encourage them. It goes so so long in a young person's life to be encouraged by a peer, not dragged down, not ridiculed, not picked on, but encouraged. It stands out ten past the hour, good way to start the day. Come on, admit it. Huh huh. It's the Morning Show with Preston.

That's crazy crazy. Eighteen fifty one, the schooner America defeats several other yachts off the English coast to win the trophy, which would become known as the America's Cup. I remember when that became a really popular thing for ten fifteen years. It's kind of fallen off the map, though it still happens every every year, every couple of years. I don't know how often they do it that. I'll tell you

something right there. A nineteen oh two in Hartford, Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first president to ride in an automobile in public Bully. Nineteen oh six, Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, New Jersey, manufacturers, the first victrola a name that you see it still on things on record players, and it still evokes nostalgic memories. Is that that's almost

like a double positive nostalgic memories. Anyway. Nineteen ninety six Clinton signs the legislation ending the federal guarantees of lifetime welfare benefits. And look what's happened since anyway? Some other random first. Okay, so Teddy Roosevelt, first to ride in a car, first president to ride in a train while in office Andrew Jackson eighteen thirty three. First president to be photographed in office James Polk in eighteen forty nine.

First president to have a White House telephone Rutherford B. Hayes in eighteen seventy eight. First president to have electricity in the White House eighteen ninety one, Benjamin Harrison. First president to make a radio broadcast Warren G. Harding in nineteen twenty two. First to appear on TV FDR World's Fair New York City nineteen thirty nine. First president to fly in an airplane while in office. That would be

FDR as well. January went to Casablanca, which, oh, by the way, that is one of the best movies ever. Have you ever seen Casa Blanca, Castle Blanca, Cassa Blanca, Casa Blanca. Is that the guitar movie?

great movie. Highly recommend you watching Casablanca, all of you. Let's see here. First president to hold a press conference filmed for TV, Dwight D. Eisenhower in nineteen fifty five. First president to fly in a helicopter, Dwight D. Eisenhower in nineteen fifty seven. First president to hold a live televised press conference, and that would be JFK in nineteen sixty one. So there you go, all right, Today on the show, we got a lot of gifts. We've got

our history segment. Doctor ed Moore back with Us today, appropriate subject matter for the time of the year. We are in this season. Maybe it'd be better to say this season we are in Doctor David Hart's back with us Optimum Health. Naturally. We'll try to help you feel a little bit better, naturally. And Steve Stewart from Tallassi reports interesting the device of one Commissioner Jeremy Mattlow busy

attacking Tallassee reports just one day after the election. So we'll talk about all that and more and when we come back the Babes Jersey. A little follow up to a story we did back a month or so ago here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott hi Heart's

Radio station twenty one passed the hour. So, if you, Jose could bid on if there was any collectible out there, what kind of things would you be interested in perhaps bidding on if money wasn't an issue, you didn't have to worry about budgeting or anything like that, and you had some cash to spend, what kind of collectible things would entice you? Cars? Okay, like zero in on me,

Like what narrow it down? I know nothing about cars, really, I just know that I really like the old ones, you know, like Mustangs and Okay, so when you say old ones, you're talking about the muscle car era. Yeah, oh yeah, so the late sixties seventies kind of thing, yes, okay, the corvettes and all. Okay, if money wasn't an issue, So that's the type of thing that see. I don't disagree.

I love cars, but space is a problem, and so I you know, you need you need big, you need a lot of garages for to collect even a couple of cars because you need to storm, you need to keep them out of the elements to protect them. Right. So I tend to anyone who listens to this show knows I am an absolute nerd on auctions, love auctions. I have a really odd collection of things, and to me, what I bid and secure at auctions, they're things that

are important to me. I'm not interested in. You know. Now, if someone comes to my house, they come into my office. Still they'll get a little snapshot of most of what I have. There's a few things that I don't put out, and then there's a couple of things I can't find, but that's another story altogether. But I follow this stuff, and so when I saw the Mother of All Babe Ruth jerseys coming to auction, I talked about the story.

And when I say the Mother of all jerseys to a lot of people, it's the holy Grail of jerseys in athletics because it's the jersey that he wore in the nineteen thirty two World Series when the Yankees beat the Cubs four straight. It was the last of Ruth's World Series titles championship teams, and it's from the game where he pointed towards center field, and a lot of people say he called his shot. Now, there are different

stories on that. There are people I knew a man who played with Ruth and he said that he was pointing to the bullpen. Whatever. I don't care. Not knowing for certain ads great allure to the story for me. But it's that jersey. And for those that are like, well, how does anyone know it's that jersey? Well, here's where

it gets interesting. The guy who's owned the jersey for the last twenty years and is putting it up for sale has spent the last twenty years trying to document that it's the jersey where he points with the bat famously out to centerfield and then promptly hits a home run to where he was pointing, and he hit to that game, and so it's an iconic shot and an iconic story with perhaps the most legendary baseball player in

the history of the game, George Herman Ruth. What makes what allowed them to defind, to definitively say this is the jersey is all of the jerseys were hands sewn, and so the buttons and the location of the buttons, the angle of the buttons, relation in relationship to the New and the York across the chest. They all were unique.

They were just slightly different from each other. They weren't mass manufactured, and so they finally were able to find photos that gave a good enough, clear enough view of Ruth in the jersey, and they overlaid those photos on the actual jersey, and it has now been documented it's the jersey. So let's bring this in for a landing. It's up for auction right now. Heritage Auctions has it up for auction. I've got the page pulled up right now.

Nineteen thirty two, Babe Ruth Game warn New York Yankees World series called Shot Jersey Photo Matched. It's currently at fifteen point one million dollars with a potential and the bidding ends. I want to say late tomorrow night, perhaps Friday night at midnight. I don't know. They think it could go upwards of thirty million dollars. I don't. I mean, I don't know if it'll get there or not. And I can't imagine having pockets that deep to spend that

for that. Babery's granddaughters is out there saying, I can't believe anyone's spending of money on a shirt and it's their grandpa, you know, I mean, but it's it's uh, well, we'll follow this, let you know where this ends up. But what it's this is the type of thing. This is why I love auctions. I love history, any kind of history. I think it's fascinating. Yes, even criminal history.

I'll admit to something later, not today, but some other time, about an item I used to have that I donated to the I think it's the United States, the National crim Criminal Museum that I obtained it an auction years ago. Anyway, twenty eight passed the hour back with the big stories in the press box. Don't miss that, WUSLA. The only way that I'll be sharing anything tomorrow about the Democrat National Convention is if Kamala is her typical self and

it provides comedic content for the program. I can't bring myself to watch it, so I resort to reading a lot of the coverage, even outlets that I don't frequent, and get kind of a feel for what they're saying. And this was fascinating. All the speeches, all of the glitz, all of the you know, the joy. You've got a guy who is a writer for the La Times, USA

Today and CNN dot Com. Scott Jennings panels sitting with Wolf Blitzer and they are discussing the DNC, all of the pageantry, all of the flowery orations, and Scott Jennings then does this.

hasn't been at the center of it. So to me, that's still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn't yet been solved at the convention. How do you explain all of the problem that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years, who is supposed to already be working on solving him.

Keep in mind, this is the most liberal member of the United States Senate before she was picked to be Joe Biden's insurance policy Now, another huge story developed yesterday when the US Bureau of Labor Statistics offered a set of feeble excuses. Well, they were technical difficulties and why it wasn't released sooner. They have revised the annual job numbers down by over eight hundred thousand. You may not remember, but the last job report I said, you watch, they're

gonna do what they've done in the previous months. They're gonna a while. A few weeks from now, they're gonna revise it down. Well, not only were those numbers wrong, then, they were way wrong before. Then they've revised the entire year back. I'll tell you what that means. Next forty minutes past the hour, it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. A huge revision down in the job numbers, which market analysts will tell you is a sign that the job market has been far worse than announced. We told you that, and we didn't tell you that based on scientific crunching of numbers. We told you that based on what we see common sense, what's happening with businesses contracting and eliminating jobs. There are seventy thousand fewer jobs a month so far this year

than what they announced. One hundred and fifteen thousand fewer manufacturing jobs. That is a harbinger right there. Forty five thousand fewer construction jobs. See, those are symptoms of what's going on in the economy. We talk about like next hour, we're gonna talk to David Hart's optimum held. Naturally, we talk about not treating symptoms because that is the standard protocol for a lot of medicine today. Take a pill, take a drug, cover the symptom, treat the symptom, and

it's all about what's causing. And these are all symptoms what's causing this a bad economy. And we've been telling you this time and time again This is a big problem for Kamala and Tim. Another big story. According to Immigration Customs Enforcement, since twenty nineteen, they've lost track of over thirty two thousand kids that are in this country

illegally normally apparently. And think about this now, since twenty nineteen, and that's you know, Trump putting up barriers and clamping down, so you knew that the numbers there have to be down. So we've had an explosion since Joe's taken over. More than almost four hundred and fifty thousand illegal miners have been allowed in this country and we don't know where nearly better than thirty thousand, thirty two thousand of them are.

So what are we doing. We've got miners coming into the country and we just say seeing it at your court date in a few months. By this is absolute lunacy. I got to stop there. This is why I have more big stories, and I hope, I'm I'll find a way to get these in the show today, I promise. But if you just stop with where we are, it all underscores significantly important issues that you need to have

solved in your brain. If I vote this way come November, or if I vote this way, come November, these issues are more likely to be addressed. You better have an answer for that, because this nation's at a tipping point and I don't know if we can recover it, but if you want to try, you have to make a decision along that line. Forty six Now past back with more here in The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's

The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Have to give you a little bit of a warning here because sometimes content on a you know, a show like this could be a little dicey, little legie. In this case, it's a little bit of that, but it's mostly keep a hand on the steering wheel at all times and remain calm. You cannot make up what I'm about this year. You just I When this story was sent by the lead research assistant of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, I

just I said, you're kidding me. You have got to be kidding me. Sure enough, the Biden Harris administration placed Snana Snaeha s n e j Naire as Special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration. Now Snaeha is not

exactly Sam Brinton. You might remember Sam. Sam's the cross dressing dude, bald, sort of a goate, mustache, massive red lipstick, who dresses in women's clothing and was in a very high end position before he was summarily fired because he was stealing designer clothes and luggage from women in airports across the country. Snaeha is not exactly there, but not far away. Listen to this, well, let's just read the headline.

Biden Harris, Department of Energy official calls for a quote queering nuclear weapons as part of radical de ei agenda. I'm just going to read what she's stated. Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament. Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness,

and trauma caused by their production and testing. She argues that diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential for creating effective nuclear policy. I'll continue Regarding race bias, she believes that white staff at nuclear facilities don't have the ability to properly evaluate threats from people of the same racial group, notably radical white supremacists. Quoting diversifying the perspectives included in nuclear security decision making can expand the definition of who

or what constitutes a threat. For nuclear security, the notion of threat and security are defined by the dominant culture, which inherently sidelines how marginalized groups perceive threats. Equity and inclusion is essential for creating effective nuclear policy. She wrote an article entitled Queering Queering, Yes, Quee rig nuclear weapons back in June of twenty twenty three. She said queer theory also identifies how the nuclear weapons discourse is gendered.

Nuclear deterrence is associated with rationality and security, while disarmament and justice for nuclear weapon victims are coded as emotion or lack of understanding of the real mechanics of security. She said that nuclear policy through the lens of queer theory is about rejecting the tenant that nuclear deference creates security and disarmament creates vulnerability. Folks, she is part of what is advising our policy and our national defense and

our national security. Don't ever think that this DEI crap is not a threat to our nation, because that just spelled it out. Steve Stewart to tell us your reports, joins me next our two morning friends, ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Males and females. Yes, that's it, males and females. Welcome to the second hour of the Morning

Show with Preston Scott jose Over. They're running the radio program in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B, and I am joined by the executive editor of Tallahassee Reports, The One, the Only, Steve Stewart. Hello, sir, good morning. How are you. I'm good.

four year term. As you said, Roseanne Wood won. Superintendent Hannah easily wanted a Democratic primary, so he'll face Joe Burgess and that'll sort of be the that'll be the setup of the school system for the for the next four years.

So we'll have to see if if there's any funding there and there's any any stomach for any change at that position.

The fact that they weren't able to really have an impact there, I mean, Rudy Ferguson didn't get over fifty percent about right at fifty percent of the south side vote.

and let's let's forget the property tax issue. Let's forget the nuance of the funding that you and I understand and we've shared and you've explained and you've written about. How is it that they don't understand or don't know that Jack Porter opposes a more robust police force.

Preston Scot Show. But you know, w FS, you did say anything about that, So mean that must just be so I think people look for corroboration on a lot of this stuff, and so I think think that's when people ignore stories, then that that's an issue. The other thing I think and the other candidates didn't have enough money well exactly, and then the campaign. I mean, look, I looked at the mail. I mean people that are just we're into it, okay, and we're looking at this stuff.

People that are living their lives aren't going to get you know, they go through the mail and they see some things. I don't know that they're going to spend a lot of time.

electric that voted, they don't like what the majority is doing. Now, the question is, obviously, if MS Porter had to go to a general, you would find out what the bigger segment of the city thinks about that. Now we will find that out with the Curtis Richardson race.

to back out a little bit. We're gonna not talk about specific races so much as talk about just processes and what I learned yesterday and why people didn't vote. We'll talk about that more next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. My Heart's radio season final segment was Steve Stewart of Tallahassee reports before we get to broader maybe electoral questions and why folks maybe didn't vote. The property tax increase was clearly an issue. We talked about it,

We talked about it. The emails I received people were just tunnel visioned on that. Now, I think that that sort of took the It was the bright light and the shiny object in the room, and no matter what you talked about, I think people it was back to

the tax increase. And to credit the progressives and Commission Malow's pack, they really the messaging was, you know, I voted against the tax increased, and in these elections, nobody cares about the fallow up Well, a lot of times the follow up question didn't even get asked, right because they didn't show up or nobody else would ask it.

But you know, and what's funny is from just setting aside what I do professionally and what you do professionally from a personal perspective, we agree they didn't need to raise the taxes. Where we differ is they just needed to find another way to fund the police. Right.

that's the way they run their elections. But the policies don't get voted that way, and so this tax increase which was done, and we'll see what happens in November, but I think it's going to be ironic that if you know, if progressives get control of the City Commission, that you know it's going to be because of a tax increase.

out over the last ten years, fifteen years. I think there's that sentiment not in the most left wing voter, and I think there's that sentiment in the most right wing voter, and that is a problem. That's a problem for the majority.

very you know, detailed policy. The shiny objects carry the day, especially in a primary election, and right now the shiny objects are not They're not in the majority's favor. And so that that last one about seeing the city quote burn in sense of just sort of disruptrust. And that's a figurative expression they were saying. They were not saying literally, they weren't talking about riots or anything. They were literally

just talking about let them self destruct. Right, And so I think, what would happen?

proposing a statewide ban on public smoking. Now we're not across the finish line here, but here's what I like about this. There is movement in preparation for the fact that most of you are likely going to approve recreational use of marijuana, which you shouldn't. And I'm okay with you disagreeing with me. I'm fine with that. I know that I'm right about it being a gateway. It's not a gateway like alcohol is present. I'm never said it was a gateway like alcohol. I'm saying it is a

gateway to more drug use. It is a gateway to people driving under the influence. It is absolutely positively a hazard to children. And I am going to be all for pushing legislation that prohibits people from smoking marijuana inside their home when there's children present, because secondhand marijuana smoke hinders the development of the brain. That is a is a scientific fact that is settled science that is beyond debate.

And I'm also going to push for banning it outside your home in a residential neighborhood governed by an HOA. Why because I don't want to smell your marijuana. It stinks. I personally think that when police smell a car where weed is emanating, that's grounds to pull it over immediately. And that ought to happen because you can kind of figure it out in a in a nanosecond. Let me

look around here. Yeah, that's the one. You just know, you know who's who's got a joint in there and they're just firing up, and uh and and and and look you're into government control. No, I'm into not stinking my brain up with your stinky smoke. I don't want to smell it. I don't want to smell your weed. I don't. I don't want it to ruin my ability to enjoy my backyard. Smoke it in your home, stink

your house up, ruin the value of your home. Cool, Do it all you like, As long as they're not children inside, their children inside, then I suggest you create a smoker's room and put you know, whatever you need to clean out the air and all. Yeah, I'm gonna push as much as I can. I'm gonna use my bully pulpit because I know what's coming our way. You look at the states or they've legalized weed. It's just regret is what's coming. But I said the same thing

about pregnant pigs in the Constitution. We did that. I said that about the minimum wage in the Constitution. We needed that. So I know what's coming. I'm gonna fight like crazy, uh to to make it difficult for you that want to smoke weed because I don't like you and your weed. I like you, I love you, I don't like the fact that you smoke weed. I don't want your your marijuana smoke ruining my ability to enjoy my backyard and it does. Don't want my kids around it.

My grandkids don't want it. Chicago Radio Station Teachers Union president in Chicago, Stacy Davis Gates. Stacy Davis Gates claim that the bad reading and math scores in Chicago students is because of junk science rooted in white supremacy. No, I'm not making that up. The testing the eugenics movement has always sought to see black people as inferior to those that are non black. You can't test black children with an instrument that was born to prove their inferiority.

If I were black and I heard that statement, I would be so beyond angry and offended at this woman. Wait, are you saying we can't achieve on a test that other kids can? Excuse me?

tendency to go towards the natural ones. And what I've found also is I've gone towards things like monk fruit and stevia, And now we're finding out that what they've done is since they're so strong, they're very very you can sweeten of something with very small amounts of those, that they've cut those things and started using xylotol and a erythletol to increase them so we could use them in the same amounts that we use sugar, like take

a teaspoon of them. And now we're finding out that, of course they're chemicals too, and we're finding out that with the research has just recently come out in June of twenty twenty four that erythrotol and xylotol are increasing blood clotting and increasing the chance so cardiovascu incidences like heart attack and of course stroke. So it's rhythtol is in kind of everything, and it's not a problem if

it's xylotol is. Also it's not a problem if you haven't small amounts like disting gum or churing gum periodically like that. But if you're putting it in the sugar of substitute or not a substitute, but a natural substitute like monk fruit or stevia, which is what I use. Munk fruit has a lot of arithotol in it, and you use that on a regular basis, like every day for coffee, then it's your increase and a chance of up to fifty seven percent increase of major coire faster

incidences from this stuff. So once again, I mean, it looks like we can do anything, but the bottom line comes down to is you can you can? You can do it if it's natural and that kind of strange. Have we kind of said that a couple of times, haven't we? If you just do the mug fruit or the stevia one hundred percent organic by itself, there's no problem. Is if we do it the way it was naturally

made and put together, it works really well. So when we start adding these chemicals to it and try to, you know, make it more like sugar, and and of course we do want to stay away from the carbohydrates, but it's when we're adding things to it that the problem happens.

it doing that way. It's a little it's a little more cumbersome, but lesh you won't be these other side effects for it, which really was surprising to me too, because that's something that's kind of laced in all those munk fruit and stevia. But but it's I've done it the other way and it's very doable and it tastes really pretty good to.

don't know how to describe it to you. And I look this thing up. It says it can travel up to five hundred miles on a single charge, but it takes thirty minutes to recover seventy percent of its charge, So you're then going to only go another three to three hundred and fifty miles. And I don't know if that range up to five hundred miles is empty or hauling an average amount of whatever. I know it can't haul what the big rigs haul. It can't possibly do

that for any real sustainable length. I still don't think this is viable. But this hasn't helped my feelings about it. I don't know if you saw the story I eighty in California, Northern California, a semi battery caught fire after a crash one thousand degrees, spewing fumes into the air that were that are potentially deadly to breathe. They dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of water on it. Didn't

do any good. They dumped They had an airplane fly and dump retardant on the area around it because it was that hot and they had to just let it cool down before they could do anything with it. They had to basically let it burn itself out, so added to the list of no road trip ide you Thursdays. We now, we don't always go inside the book Unique America, but we often go inside the book Unique America. It's

a it's a great it's a great book by your toilet. Honestly, it's it's one of those books that you could just spend all kinds of time looking at. It's it's a small book. It's really it's well done. It's called Unique America, strange,

unusual and just playing fun a trip through America. And last week we talked about the Stanley Hotel in Estas Park, Colorado, and it was a little edgy for me because, i mean, let's face it, it's the backdrop and and and a central part of the movie, the Shining, and it really leans into that. And I'm not a I'm not a you know, oh, let's find ghosts and let's do a seance guy. I'm just it's just not a thing. But it's beautiful. I mean,

the hotel website was beautiful. Anyway, I turned the page and we're in Douglas, Wyoming and the jackalope capital of the world. Now, I was introduced to jackalopes when I was in Arizona, and you'll find these fictitious beasts all over the gift stores and everything in Phoenix, Scottsdale, any of the areas. And they basically they'll take a rabbit and they'll put antlers on it and it's just it's

just a goof, but they call it a jacalobe. Anyway, in Wyoming, they actually have a thing in Douglas and it's called the Jackalope Capital of the World. You can look it up. They've got a massive jackalope display. And so if you're driving around and you're making a roadie and you're in Wyoming, check out Douglas and check out the jackalopes. Just saying it's a thing. Add it to your list, check it off. Come back. Doctor Edmore joins us a little more history coming up next to our

number three of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Good morning and welcome ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and females only. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. That's Jose can you see I'm Preston and joining me in studio is our resident historian. He is doctor Ed Moore. A little more history Hello, good friend. How are you. I'm good.

part of it is we've started. I guess what's not new is where we have now, where we're just so divided, and the divisions really started back in the eighteen hundreds. The election of eighteen hundred was very difficult, and it's been here partisan. Actually, politics used to be a lot nastier. I mean it was very nasty, and you had conventions. Forget which one it was. There's one in New York.

A convention in New York that won one hundred and three ballots before they determined who would be the presidential nominee, and with the audience throwing things and spitting on the delegates and delegates I think one hundred delegates from that convention went home. You know. It's politics have always been a messy sport. The nest didn't start in nineteen sixty eight in Chicago. It's been here.

But the conventions were back room. Everything's going to happen in the back room, and you know, maybe eight people determined who the nominee was really going to be. So politics or politics has always been ugly.

I mean, the way the law is written and the way it is in the Constitution, you don't have to take the popular vote from each state and determinan who's going to be president of the United States. The legislature makes the determination. There's thirteen states, maybe out of fifty that require them that they're bound. I I'm not quite sure what the penalty might be, and maybe a slap on the wrist o g. If you vote for President Scott instead of add More you know, oh boy, you're

going to get in trouble now. But they do, and traditionally they do send delegates or electors electoral votes in each state capital. They don't go go to Washington and vote. Okay, they do it in the state capitals.

Hayes be Tilden by two hundred and fifty thousand votes. Back in eighteen seventy six, Harrison beat Cleveland, who was the incumbent president at the time, by about one hundred thousand votes nationwide. Bush beat Gore, actually me, excuse me, Gore beat Bush by five hundred and forty thousand votes. Yet he lost in the electoral college, and then Clinton I had just a little less than three million votes more than Donald Trump did, but she lost in the

electoral college. I mean, so it's happened four times, not that often. There's been some remarkable elections. But you know, we're in the middle of a convention right now. You finished the Republican convention, now in the middle of the Democrat convention, and people, well, look, it's a coup. You're seeing a coup occurred here. When you know coups, there's

much ado about a coup. There's been way more adventurous things happened in political parties over two hundred years of our country than what just happened.

those guys did. Let's have a convention. They had a convention, dumped Calhoun as the VP, and Martin Van Buren, who then became president, became the vice president under Andrew Jackson.

rest of the country went the other way. I mean, it wasn't just George Wallace. This stuff had been going on for two hundred years right right one, with five or seven states across the South in that election and the Nixon election. So there's always been that kind of tension going on across America. The South has changed tremendously in the last fifty years.

that was from Tennessee. I believe interesting when you look at the data from all these things of what was going on in America. Stephen Douglas, popular guy, did well across He had the second most votes in that election. He only got one electoral vote Missouri. He only got one. But even though he came in second in the numbers, I mean, that's where all this tricky stuff starts coming in.

Breckenridge got the second most. Lincoln won eighteen states. Breckenridge won eleven states, predominantly across the South, and then Bell won three states Kentucky, Tennessee, and I think West Virginia, Virginia. But here you got Stephen Douglas, who we know today if you study any history at all, the Lincoln Douglas debates got the second most amount of votes and only got one electoral vote. And that that election that was

so contentious. Lincoln ended up winning the Democrats if you're looking at in nineteen twenty four, West Virginia congressman named John Davis won the nomination Democrat nomination on the one hundred and third ballot. He was the one I was referring to earlier one hundred and three ballots.

the KKK. I mean it's these you know, when you start talking about pastors and.

I commented earlier, very objectively. I might add the Republican Convention was outstanding because and anyone who listens to this show knows, those words don't come out of my mouth about the RNC. They don't come out of my mouth about the party in general, because generally speaking, over the last two decades, they stink at messaging. The party is awful. I say they, and it almost interchangeably because the party's made up of they them, and they can't message their

way at all until this summer. Now, they should have been messaging for three and a half years. They should have been messaging the moment that Joe Biden signed the deal killing the Keystone pipeline Xcel and the Keystone pipeline Xcel Keystone Excel pipeline. They should have been messaging from that point forward and just and let it snowball. Not messaging for candidates, messaging for ideals and showing people why. For example, you could have predicted here's what's going to

happen over the next few years under Joe Biden. Look what he did his first act in office. He killed our energy production, He killed jobs, he killed manufacturing in one stroke of the pen. This is what's coming. They should have started that messaging and this would be over. It wouldn't matter what Kamala and Tim roll out. It wouldn't matter. And to that end, even a guy like Scott Jennings, he's a contributor for CNN, he writes for cnn dot Com, he writes for USA Today, and he

writes for the La Times. There's a panel, and this panel is discussing all of the great speeches, all of the oration deafness shown by the Obamas and everybody else. And then here comes Scott Jennings and he points out the obvious.

So to me, that's still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn't yet been solved. At the convention, how do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years, who is supposed to already be working on solving it.

rungs of this societal ladder in this country. It had unprecedented increases in their in their in their income, their standard of living. Energy was was down, the cost of it because production was up. We repatriated money from overseas. Businesses were moving back, manufacturing was increasing. And Jennings nailed it.

The hardships that they're all talking about, the hardships in the economy, the hardships with the regulatory environment, the hardships with jobs and oh, by the way, that story is coming up next. It all fell in the years before and the years after Trump, and they're somehow trying to blame Trump. Scott Jennings said, you got to problem with that. Can't talk your way out of that. One forty one minutes after the Hourum, we'll check a weather in traffic.

Back with some more big stories on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven, Tell them went in La All right, kind of going into some more things here, but related kind of a bridge story here is this is this now rising to the level of a scandal cooking the books. That's what some online are commenting in the revelation that the job numbers have been wrong all year.

Now here's what's been happening. And we picked up on this early in the Biden administration and we've just been pointing it out as it's gone on. Job numbers get released, Eh, look at us, and for period of time they were accurate because jobs were coming back online. Biden claims, look at me creating jobs. No, he wasn't creating jobs at all. They were jobs coming back post COVID. They were jobs that were lost during COVID, frozen during COVID, unoccupied during COVID,

that were just coming back online. So some of the job numbers were reflective of that. The credit for it. It wouldn't have been Trump either, it wouldn't have been Biden. It's not anyone. It's jobs just coming back because we're finally letting people live their life, which is something that Biden administration did not want. They exerted incredible controls on people. You know, we talked about the mass psychosis that went on. It absolutely happened. People are still walking around aren't masked

for gosh sakes. So you've got you've got the job numbers. Now this got released yesterday eight hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, eight hundred and fifteen thousand jobs lower than what they've been reporting all year. That's nearly a million jobs. Friends. Out of those jobs, one hundred and fifteen thousand fewer manufacturing jobs, forty five thousand fewer construction jobs, and both the manufacturing and construction industries are indicators of the economy

at large. When we're not making more stuff, We're not making more stuff because people aren't buying more stuff. People aren't buying more stuff because prices are high and discretionary income is low. You see where this is going. So now the accusation is, okay, you've basically been cooking the books to the tune of seventy thousand jobs a month too many. And that's after the numbers were released and then revised down, released and then revised down. This was

a constant dance all year long. Well, now we're finding out that the revisions back weren't enough, and the Bureau of Labor it's saying, well, you know, he got this technical things. You know, we got thirty two thousand missing kids that are illegally in this country, and we're talking about minors, that Homeland Security, Ice, Housing, Department of uh what is this? Department of Health and Human Services? They're like, ehw I talked about this with my wife yesterday. Can

you imagine that parent, grandparent? I mean, that's the equivalent of going to the store, going to a park, going somewhere. Hey, where's Sally? I don't know, and you pack up the car and you drive away. Wait where's Sally? Now? You know, hell kids, you know she's supposed to be back here next week for an appointment. Though, Wait, so where is Sally? He and that week comes, and that appointment comes and Sally's not there? Where's Sally? Well, she's just I don't know,

times thirty two thousand. How does that happen? I mean, forget, forget the issue of illegally in this country. These are children. Are some of them gang bangers? Absolutely, there's a few of those, but most of these are literally kids that parents shoved across the border figuratively speaking, to create a better life. Just from a humanity standpoint, where the crap are these children? What are we doing? Ah? Oh my?

know about it because I'll copy it. Yeah, what's the beef? It's tomorrow. We have the best in the worst whatever. We individually select those and I as our best and worst. It could be just something personal. It could be something out of the news or whatever good news headlines from the Bee. We're gonna clear the desk. I am gonna I am gonna clear the desk, and so I might start like right after the Bible Verse to get all of it out. I'm clearing the death, gonna do it.

Lee Williams will join us the gun writer as well. There are a ton of stories in the news that relate to the Second Amendment that we must discuss. So all of that more coming tomorrow on The Morning Show with Preston Scott brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the morning show on WFLA. Yeah, look back at the radio program. In one and eighty seconds or less, our verse was Hebrews ten twenty four. That's how we started our our day today with that little gem, Big

Stories in the press box. CNN contributor Scott Jennings silences the panel he was with on CNN, gave him a little bit of a reality check. That's how That's how Red State put it. I thought it was pretty pretty solid, pointing out that no matter what Kamala and Tim Sayer do, they can't ignore the fact that she's been in office for three and a half years watching all of the crumbling happen, and Democrats have been in office twelve of

the sixteen years, twelve of the last sixteen years. That that's he actually provided the Trump campaign in incredib double talking point right there. Biden Harris administration job numbers revised down by an amount that quite honestly, a revision of more than five hundred thousand is the largest in fifteen years, and this was over eight hundred thousand. That suggests the job market's been cooling for quite a while. And we

broke down some of those numbers. Teachers' Union president, Chicago, blaming junk science and white supremacy for bad test scores. We got thirty two thousand missing miners in this country, illegally, but they're miners nonetheless. Florida lawmakers proposing public smoking ban that would include smoking cigars, cigarettes, any tobacco product, marijuana, and vapes. Count me in and I'll expand that. Thank you very much, Tesla Semi. Did you know there was

such a thing when they go bad? Burn it over a thousand degrees?
