Twenty two Past the Hour the Morning Show with Preston's scaciemorning you you hear me talk about golf tournaments from time to time that benefit good causes. I've mentioned before the Babe Ruth Baseball Alumni Foundation Golf tournament coming up at Golden Eagle on October the fourteenth. And you know, Babe Ruth is I'm for supporting anything that helps young people, and sports is to me, it's just a great vehicle
to teach young people about life. But the event is on the fourteenth, and if you want to learn about to entering your team or supporting the event, you can just email Babe Ruth Alumni Foundation at gmail dot com. You probably can just go to their website as well t L for tallahassee bur alumni dot com. That's the website. But to get information again, shoot them an email and support. The golf tournament will be at Golden Eagle. Speaking of
I played there yesterday. One of my sons took a day off work and we just teed it up and man, yeah, first of all, golf course despite all the rain, they put a lot of money into that golf course and the greens are coming along and they're very, very nice, and the golf course, the fairways are wonderful.
You know.
Obviously they've just had a bunch of rains, so you had to kind of work around that a little bit.
But other than.
A couple of ladies groups out, I'm thinking maybe Wednesday was kind of ladies day. I don't know, no offense ladies, but yeah, if you're playing a three person four person scramble and you can't hit the golf ball but about fifty yards, that's fine, no problem. Just let people through because the entire golf course was in front of them and they were not letting anybody through. And that was like, you've got to.
Be kidding me.
But that said, front nine, I just put myself in jail a lot. Didn't play very well. Played pretty good on the back though, So that was that was no coincidence that the back nine we didn't have the slow ups that we had on the front. It had nothing to do with that, just saying it did nothing. But anyway, there's another golf tournament coming up next Friday, and I will be playing in this one. It is our Pals
at ADDIE's Land and Tree Service. Earlier this week we had Danny Francis in and he shared his his life story thus far. He's a young man in this golf tournament. He works with addis Land and Tree Service with John Boseman, and Addies is a client of mine. I'm very fond of John and very supportive. He's a veteran. John has his own life story overcoming challenges after serving in the United States Army, and he's a he's just a delightful guy.
He's got a wonderful business. Danny works with him. Danny came through a program called Teen Challenge and John's all about it. So they're doing a program that will benefit the Team Challenge in the region, which is based here in the Capitol City. And so if you want to play time, there's time to enter and to put a team in. It's a three man scramble a little bit different, not four to three. And it'll tee off next Friday
at one at Country Oaks Golf Course in Thomasville. And so I've got my team together and if you'd like to learn more, there are two easy ways to go about it. You can just email at Ease Golf at outlook dot com or just go to their Facebook page. Just look up at ease Tree Service Tallahassee. You'll see it. They're based up in Georgia, but they do a ton of work here and you'll go to their Facebook page and you you just hit the QR code and that'll
take you to the sign up. Eleven thirty registration, twelve o'clock lunch, one o'clock shotgun start and I will be there. So I'd love to have a bunch of you go play and say, lo, I'd love to meet you out there before the tournament, after the tournament on the golf course, hopefully not hitting into each other. But yeah, So it's that season, fall and spring golf tournaments, golf tournaments like crazy are happening, and so a lot of good causes. Twenty seven past the hour, come back with the big
stories in the press box. Do not miss it next, Oh boy, Big stories in the press box This morning. Hosey run on the show in the studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B. It appears that this whole pager thing with Hesbela was Israel's Massad as according to Israeli media, as many as four thousand terrorists got hit. Here's what's interesting. One of those injured and blinded was much Daba Amani? Who's he? He's the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. Now, why would he have a hesbela pager? Now we know
the answer. Hesbel is in Iran's back pocket. They're funded by Iran. But he's an alleged diplomat. Why would he be carrying a patre to the terrorist network? Saying second round of attacks though were launched yesterday? Did you see this another wave? Different communication devices, phones, other tablets, vehicles exploding. Israel's not playing around and I'm you.
Can hear that. I'm I'm okay with this. I am.
They killed civilians and targeted families. They did not have the courage to attack military installations or bases. You attack military bases, Okay, the rules of war are there are Geneva Convention things that apply. But anyway, I gotta move on. Rasmussen Poll. Twenty eight percent of Democrats think America is better off if Trump is a had been assassinated. It gets a little worse. Seventeen percent of voters in general say America's better off had Trump been killed last weekend.
Do you know what that number represents? I got a secondary story here Michael Snyder's substack. That means roughly fifty six point six million people would align with that thought if the statistics of the survey are accurate. Survey further said that the anti Trump rhetoric and the media combined eighty six percent combined, is the reason for this. So that's Democrat politicians, that some Republican politicians, and that's the
news media. Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson. And you know, there's an there's an idea out there. In fact, there's advertisements on this this and many other radio stations of a guy who says, hey, I've got a plan to help you make money, not exactly day trading, but sort of following what the big guys do. This is one of the big guys, John Paulson. He's got a company, an investment company called Pulson and Company. He's a billionaire.
He said that if Harris wins the election, he's pulling all of his money out, all of his money's coming out of the stock market. He said, I am not following those policies, saying and then this Arizona has admitted in a lawsuit that nearly one hundred thousand non citizen voters were wrongly listed on voter rolls one hundred thousand, by the way. And this is especially just a little mic drop moment for those of you that accuse me of being unpatriotic and fanning the flames. And this is
a disclosure in a lawsuit. And you know what Biden's margin was in Arizona, ten four hundred and fifty seven votes. There are over one hundred thousand non citizen voters that are on the rolls. And that's just non citizen that doesn't count dead people and people registered in more than one state and registered in more than just saying, don't ever come at me with that nonsense. Forty one minutes after the hour, I take a bite of my sausage biscuit.
Double USLA or on NewsRadio double USLA, Panama City dot com.
There are.
A little over four hundred and thirty thousand jobs in Pennsylvania that are in the energy sector. What do you think they think about this upcoming election? Who do you think they're going to support? I hope they all do. Hope they are all smart enough to protect their jobs, because there's only one candidate that gives a ratrier end about American Energy, American produced home and home you know, home operated, home owned. Anyway, this little thing popped up.
I just reposted this on our TwixT page. The Teamsters Union is not going to endorse a presidential candidate. Here's why. Here's why they can't endorse Kamala because a poll of their members, fifty nine point six percent said to endorse Trump, thirty four percent Harris. It's the first time in three decades the Teamsters will not endorse a candidate. Washington Post calling this a blow to the Democrat Party. You think, friends, that's an endorsement. The fact that the leadership won't do
it is irrelevant. Teamsters have a strong presence in battleground states and could play an outsized role in the election, according to the Washington Post. So they're not endorsing while they've just endorsed. The membership has endorsed, And again that speaks to see personally, I think unions need to stay out of this stuff. Do they have a right? Absolutely they do. Absolutely. I don't conflate what I'm saying here. They absolutely have a right. It's just not smart policy.
It doesn't benefit union members to pick fights with people that can shape legislation good or bad in your world, you as a union should state here's what would benefit us. Whatever the candidates do, they do. Got some interesting emails of late guy posted his own breakdown of the inflation link. We talked to Parker Shepherd from Heritage Foundation earlier this week,
and uh, you might remember my inflation dot com. Darryl said with with my fifty point seven percent increase, you plug in your data, your real world data, and it tells you what your inflation rate is. His since twenty twenty Biden took over in January twenty twenty one, is up fifty point seven percent. It's posted that you might check it out my inflation dot com. Got got email here on government waste, the amount of money that the
government spending, and I've done a commentary on it. My new commentary deals with thirty thousand dollars of your tax dollars, not a big amount, big amount to you and me like in our world. Right, the State Department has given a grant to produce a play in Europe to convince Europeans that the gay and homosexual lifestyle is just fine. Your tax dollars are paying for that. It's in writing State Department's got nothing to say about it. And then
this one the most interesting. Just read that the shooter was hiding at the golf course starting two am the day of. Since the golf outing was not on the official schedule, how did he know to be there that far in advance? Not a conspiracy theorist, but it makes me wonder, right, Get tim forty seven minutes forty eight minutes now past the hour, getting ready for Steve Stewart of Talash reports in just a few too funny. I'm sorry,
I got I gotta slow down, too funny. Donald Trump in New York City, I think yesterday last night he did Greg Gutfell's show on Fox, and he just said to the crowd, it's it's just the it's the best line.
He just outlined everything that's.
Going wrong in New York and New York City from a national perspective, and he just looked at everybody and said, what do you have to lose? Put me in office? Put me back in office. Things were better.
It's just.
I'm sorry, I could be so wrong, but I really don't think I am when I say I don't believe that he's national polling showing Kamala Harris on top. I don't. I really don't. Doctor Bob McClure said something interesting. He said, you know, back in twenty sixteen twenty twenty, Trump has always overperformed because people that are voting for Trump just don't say so in polling because they don't want to deal with any pushback.
They just don't. I don't want to be hated.
You know, Howard Stern's out there saying anybody that votes for Trump, I hate them, I hate Trump, I hate you. Howard Stern's saying this stuff because Howard Stern has sort of become irrelevant, and I know it's easy for me to say and some people will say, well, you're just jealous because he has.
A national platform.
No, really, I'm not. I wouldn't trade places with Howard Stern in a thousand years. I don't care what national success somebody has, if they're just wrong and if it just turns into white noise, because what he says is like the Charlie Brown teacher, wow wy wy wy why whatever, I don't care. A couple did you know remember that kid?
And we talked about it. Venezuelan in the country illegally just defiantly posting stuff on TikTok, waving stacks of cash about how he's making money, squatting in people's homes, telling people how to do it.
Defy. You can't get rid of.
Me, I mean, on and on. He's he's gonna be deported. Judge said, you're out, little punk, little Cretan. He's that guy that just gets in your face about three inches away and dares you.
I came to the US to mark my territory.
Man, are you saying you're end zipping your fly and urinating everywhere?
What are you? What are you talking.
About marking your territory? You know, break animal. That's what animals do, for Pete's sake. They whiz around the forest, So that.
That's my territory.
Steve Stewart on deck on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Pour two Morning Show with Preston Scadow's a running the program and studio A. I'm here in Studio one B. Friends, thanks for joining us, appreciate your time, and we are joined as we are each and every Thursday by the executive editor of Tellassi Reports.
Is that got to be a good one today?
Joining us in studio is Steve Stewart l Sir.
Good morning, Preston. How are you.
I'm good fire service fee?
Yes, So look this is stuff you're not gonna get anywhere else, So listen up. You know, fire service fee basically funds the Firefighter Fund to provide fire services. Sure, and as we you know, move into this election cycle, we've got the progressives who are trying to take control of the City Commission using campaign tactics that are dishonest,
they're misleading. I mean I always look try to ask questions as an engineer, you know, we can get the facts out here and then people support your position, they'll vote for you. And so Dinaman Johnson who is trying to unsee Curtis Richardson with the help of Jeremy matt Lowe and his pack, which is funded from a billionaire in California.
Yep, you know, yeah, that was originally started because it's a grassroots movement of locals.
Right.
But hey, they won the primary election with Jack Porter, so the end of the voters that they vote.
Well, they won with sixteen percent of the community. But right, we will set that aside, Okay, so we'll get.
The November election will be a bigger turnout, but now Didamon Johnson has promised to give firefighters raises, but she refuses to talk about how she's going to fund that, and nobody we've asked her, but they've sort of shut us out because none of the other local media will ask her. Well, she sort of made a mistake. I think she went in front of the City Commission and she has found that the Leoni County School District is not paying the fire service fee. This is an issue
that has been covered for years across the state. School districts don't have to pay the fire service fee. There's cases all over the state about it. Elachwa County doesn't pay at Miami Dade Panels and they don't pay it because they went to court and the courts decided, you have sovereign immunity. You'd never paid for fire services when it was paid for by property taxes. Just because they moved to a fire service doesn't mean, you know, a
local governmentee has to pay the fire service fee. And so Leon County School Board was paying this fire service fee up till about twenty twenty when they started seeing the legal cases around the state and so Ryky Hannah went to Reese go and say, look, we're not going to pay RESC looked around and said, you know, we're not going to sue the Leon County School District for
this million dollars a year because obviously there's precedent. And so Donavan Johnson, again pandering to firefighters and firefighter union, gets in front of the City Commission and demands that they collect the money from the Leonsk County.
Well, how does that pander to the union and the firefighters because it has no bearing on what they're making.
No, Because what happens is she's arguing that if you collect the money and rears, which is three to five million dollars, and put it in the fire service fund, then she can fund her campaign promise to raise salaries for firefighters.
So let me let me reward this. Then Dottedman Johnson is advocating to raise taxes on Leon County citizen since Leonk exactly.
And so as you can imagine, she has sort of stepped in it because of what is going on around the state of Florida. And guess who had to say and this Superintendent Hannah says, look, we're not going to increase fire We're not going to help you with your campaign promise on the backs of teachers that you know, I've got enough problems with money going to charter schools, and now you're wanting you're wanting the city to collect
this money which we don't have to pay. And so then the question becomes this, okay, well wait a minute, why did you just say that? And the reporter should ask dot m and Johnson, so what do you want? Do you want the city to sue the school district?
But they don't. Who do they ask? They as'd Jeremy Mattlowe, who has no answer, and so this again he won't answer the question, Well, what do you want, Commission mattlow You you support increasing the firefighter salaries, which means supporting increasing taxes, because the district, if they were to just give into this foolishness, Steve has to.
Then charge that down the road to all of the people in the county exactly. And so what has happened here is our questions of where are you going to get the money to fund these campaign promises that you're putting out there to try to you know, I'm going to roll back the taxes, I'm going to increase firefighter salaries. Well, now we're starting to see that they don't have a plan, because this was part of the plan, was to get Leon County schools to pay for firefighter salaries.
And so this is a big story. I think it gets to the bottom of how the progresses are trying to manipulate use campaign tactics to get control of the city commission. And hey, like I said, we'll see if it works. Ten past the hour, we're just warming up. Morning Show with Preston Scott with Steve Stewart of Tellassi Reports. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott with Steve Stewart of Tellasker Report.
Subscribe Get that paid paper friends, tell Us Reports.
Dot Com got one coming out today. We're going to print it today. It'll be in the newspaper boxes downtown. So Commissioner Malow, can you get a copy and catch up on his reading?
Yeah, and get some facts exactly that would be refreshing instead of the local outlets that seemed to just want to be the pr firm. Jack Porter had an ethics complaint filed and dismissed.
Dismissed and so there's a two part answer to this. I mean, actually I got a little PTSD from ten years ago when all these ethics complaints would go through, you know, and sure, which resulted in the FBI investigation.
But the old days when the ethics mattered.
Yes, when ethics mattered. But this dismissal is right at the it falls right into the lap of the Republican legislature. They passed the law that makes it more difficult to follow an ethics complaint, and the Ethics Commission relied on that. In other words, you have to have personal knowledge of an ethics complaint. I personally know that there's no that
there's no accounting for who's paying for trips. No, So the whole idea of that that doesn't count is ethics complaint is that she was she was taking trips to these progressive conferences that were being paid for by the people to put these conferences on, and she didn't disclose it,
and so you know, he gets in the weeds. But the bottom line is that you know, they're supposed to disclose who pays for the trips, and ethics complaint was filed, We wrote about it, the Democrat and other mediaolitis wouldn't ask her ready questions about it, and so the ethics complaint hid behind this law that says you have to
have personal knowledge. And so what that means is that I think the assistant to Jack Porter, who was talking to the group that is paying for the trips, would be the ones that would have to follow the ethic complaint saying that they had personal knowledge, not that you have documents that show that the city didn't pay for it.
So who paid for it? You would think you would investigate, But evidently this new law that was passed by the Republican legislature and signed the law by Governor DeSantis doesn't even allow them to ask questions. I want to read you something from the ethics opinion. It says, first of all, it says there was no there was no violation.
There was.
It was all hearsay she said, and they say hears say, Sweet Jesus, she's not answered the question. And there's no documents to show who paid for the trip. So the ethics complaint sounds like somebody defending Port says she could.
Have paid for these expenses herself. All she has to do is say so, or there could have been no expenses to pay. The complaint does not provide any substance of or factual information to support an allegation that someone else covered expenses during these trips, And so what what what?
What hold on here?
Doesn't Florida law require an expenditure report on anything that a candidate or a sitting elected official receives. It requires if you can take the gift, it's not against the law. You have to disclose it, exactly right.
But they're saying that we can't even get to that point because we don't have evidence that it wasn't disclosed. You don't have personal knowledge that it wasn't disclosed. You're sure you do, because it's not been filed in the report, right, Well, you don't know. You don't know that she didn't pay for it with their own expenses, with their own money.
I do, because it's not disclosed in the report.
No, but you don't know she could have paid out of her own money. All she has to do is prove that they didn't. They don't even get to the point of where they ask questions. So the next step, So look, so so can I just I'm sorry, I'm gonna drop this out there in front of everybody, Jack, Jeremy, God knows, and you'll be judged for this go ahead. So so now that's the Republican side.
Of it, right.
They have hamstrung the Ethics Commission. So then you go, okay, well journalism, they're the ones they're you know, they're the ones that are going to hold them too accountable. Okay, now we insert the laughter. Now now it's like, okay, wait a minute, we've got this ethics complaint that says we don't know who paid the expenses. I got an idea,
why don't I ask her? And nowhere in this story that I'm quoting from and the Talis Democrat, did an enterprising reporter say, commission reporter who paid for the expenses? Say for this? They won't. They don't ask her. So we ask her and she ignores this. They want to ask her. We're laughing, yeah, but the joke is really on the voters. And so we'll see what, you know, if they are able to figure this out. But it's it is, it's it's you have to laugh or you'll
just sort of cry. And here's my prediction, folks, because this is how it works. And I've been around this community for nineteen eighty seven, and I've been around in life a lot longer than that. This is just the start.
They get away with one thing. They'll keep pushing the envelope and eventually they'll step in it.
Mark my words. All right, back with more.
With Steve Stewart next.
I'm so impatient.
I want to just start, and I have to remember I got to wait for the other affiliates come online. All right, here we go segment Steve Stewart. Doctor Bob McClure mentioned it earlier this week. What happens in the capital City reverberates across the state and in turn, reverberates across the nation. We do these segments to teach, We do these segments to inform. We do these segments to illuminate things that are basically kept in the dark because other media outlets are cowards.
One real quick point on this travel and the seth his complaint with the Creash reporter. I mean, this complaint I think would tell Mayor John Daily that he's got to take action. And when I say that, the city and the school board and Leon County Commission requires officials, if they're going to spend their office money to explain to get approval to do it. It's usually in the consent agenda. It's usually non controversial, but they have to
talk about where they're going. Other jurisdictions, other local jurisdictions, local governments around the country, and I've read this. They file something with the local commission. I'm going to the local products conference, and they are paying for the hotel and the plane flight, and then that it's in the public record, so it's disclosed, and so it's a requirement for them to do that. What the city does is they put the burden. Are they allow the responsibility on
the city commissioner to disclose it? Well, clearly Jack Porter's not answering questions and hasn't disclosed it. Mayor John Daly should step up to the plate and say, look, we've got to have a rule because it's being abused and we need a rule like the school board has and the Leon County Commission so that we can keep track and hold elected officials accountable. So we'll see what he does.
He can do this without any problem. It's a simple rule, there's precedent to do it, and we'll see what happens.
I would also add that if you're proud and if you have no issues, if there's nothing you know to be concerned with and your trips and the travels, the things that you're doing. Why wouldn't you disclose it? And that's the thing with Commissioner Porter. She has refused to talk about this.
It's because and this is a good segue to what we're gonna ready to talk about, is they don't want to disclose who they really are. Because again it's not illegal for this to happen, exactly, but that's the point. But you have to let voters know this is what you're doing, and they don't want to do that. They don't want to talk about the truth.
That segues exactly to a story here involving a decision by Commissioner Jeremy Mattlow to for some reason make abortion an issue here in the local election.
Again. They're making abortion issue again.
They're being dishonest.
Well, they are dishonest, and they tried to do this two years ago. There was a resolution up before the city commission to make a comment about abortion rights.
And well it's what led to John Day no longer being invited back on this show. Exact, he lied to the audience here. He was not honest with the audience. He said he was not going to vote for that resolution, and.
He did exactly, and two people that didn't who were pro choice but felt like that this issue didn't belong in front the city because there's no authority to it. Dynam was Coxs voted against it, and so did Curtis Richardson, and they've been pro choice or whole life.
Absolutely. Curtis was a state lawmaker, right.
And so in twenty twenty two, when Dine Williams Cox ran for office a re election, they tried to say that that vote shows that she had turned her back on women's rights. It didn't work.
She won.
Now, fast forward two years later, commisster Mattlow, through the one Talassee Pack, which is funded by a billionaire in California, has released a disgusting ad featuring a young African American female that I think says that she had an abortion and accuses Curtis Richardson of turning his back on abortion rights because of this vote. It is so misleading. And again, you know, I am. I have talked about the dishonesty of these people till I'm blue in the face, and
I can do no more. I can. All I can do is get the information out there, and our paper talk about it here. But these are the most dishonest people that are that are trying to take control of city Hall, and this is an example of that discussion. That is a flat misleading advertis It might not go as far as Darryl Parks lying about Corey Simon suggesting that he was responsible for the vote on the six week abortion band when he voted no. It's a matter of senatorial record. Daryl Parks is.
Lying in his ad. This is close in that okay a resolution. They both support abortion, they voted against it because the city has no say in the matter.
And the issue here, which I think is interesting, is this is not like some last minute attack two days before an election. This is going to be their strategy. They're going to take this ad and they're going to spend a lot of money trying to fool voters thinking that Curtis Richardson is pro life, you know, in a community that is is pro choice, and they're doing this to get control of the City Commission. They're going to
spend a lot of money on this ad. And you know, you would think that because this is Democrat on democrat violence, right, This is not the Republicans are involved. I got no dog in the fight. You would think some Democrats who have known Curtis Richardson for twenty years would come to his defense, but they won't because they're scared of Commissioner Jeremy Mattlow and they're scared of the progressives. I mean, where are what's there to be sae.
If they get control of the city turns into a trash bin.
But whatever, Yeah, where are the traditional Democrats that say, wait a minute, why are you doing this to Curtis? He has been you know, he's been elected to a number of offices.
Or if Curtis has been the most honest about his positions on every issue, whether you like or don't like them, he's been honest exactly.
And now he's getting this and where do you turn he you know, he's probably saying, where are people to help me out of here? Tell these people that this is wrong, and they're nowhere to be found.
Yeah, if there was any leadership in the local Democrat party, but it's run by Jeremy's aide, who's a flaming progressive. The party is now run by this small little group of sycophants that think the same way. Normally the party would step up and say you can't do that.
But there are plenty of Democrats that could step up and defend Curtis Richardson. Sure, and we'll see. Maybe it'll happen, because there's it's forty days to the election, and so I mean there's some there's some time here, no shortage of things to talk about. You got to hit the ground running.
Hey, no matter what happens, it's good for us. Thanks for the time, Thank you. Pricing back with more of the Morning Show with Preston scott.
Man.
What's going on with with some folks here locally in the Capital City. It just reminds me of children that think they're getting over something, getting getting over the old people on something, and they're getting over on some But eventually it's all gonna it's all gonna just come out. It's all gonna be exposed. And and so I look, I don't wish bad on anyone. I wish bad on ideas. And it's just a matter of time before truth, honesty, integrity will have the last laugh.
I'll just leave it at that.
Big Stories in the press Box sort of along the same line here, Joe Biden won Arizona by ten four hundred and fifty seven votes.
If you believe that.
In a lawsuit, Arizona officials have admitted to finding nearly one hundred thousand voters who had never presented proof of US citizenship but were still voting. The lawsuits over not removing those people and others from the voting rules. One hundred thousand, and that's only those that didn't show proof. We're not talking about, for example, Fulton County, Georgia, where you had literally hundreds of ballots going to one address.
I mean, at some point.
Somewhere in the Secretary of State's office that's responsible for that, and sees like hundreds of ballots being mailed to one address, one singular address.
You think someone in the office would go, hey.
Berdie, have you seen this. There's like hundreds of ballots going to one address. We need to send somebody out there and look at this.
No one ever did.
Twenty eight percent of Democrats in a poll think America is better off if Trump had been assassinated. That is a horrifying indictment. And you know, some of you might be saying, why do you share a story like that, because I'm hoping to get rational democrats to rethink what they are part of that number will grow over time, not necessarily related to Trump, but in that way of thinking that person needs to die. You don't find that on the other side. You don't find that in the middle.
You don't find that with any rational thinking human being.
And then there's there's this.
Apparently Israel's massade was behind the attack on Hesbela. Good for them, but one of those that had a pager was a diplomat from Iran. What's he doing with a Hesbela pager? Just saying they turned loose. Another wave of attacks on other devices, using other devices, including vehicles, but phones as well. Forty minutes past the hour, come back, little pause for thought. That's where we pause pets, never mind.
Doctor Edmore joins us. Next hour some election Florida related history in a little more history, but that's coming up next hour.
Time for pause for thought.
This is where we take a pause through the program and talk about the pause that belonged to your for your little friends. This is our health segment for your dogs and cats and every now and then your other cats. Doctor Steve Steveson joins us from the Bradfordville Animal hospital.
Good morning, sir, How.
Are you, Hey Press, I'm doing great. How are you?
I'm doing well.
I'm fascinated by the topic of osteoarthritis for dogs and cats, because I mean, I knew dogs and cats would occasionally suffer from arthritis, but I guess I never really considered the breadth of this. It's how big of a how widespread is the problem?
Oh, this is very very common quest. And then many many dogs, you know that is nowadays, who take such good care of our dogs and our cats that they live a lot longer they did, say twenty or thirty years ago, and so of course in their older years, almost all of them about some form of authoritis.
And so this is a big deal, you know.
And so when early on we were trying to use aspirin and i'd be profen high human type of products in dogs and cats, and there's all kinds of side effects on those. So they developed some aspirin like products that were very canine and feline specific or much safer for them, didn't have all those undesirable side effects, or as many of them anyway, And that's what I've used
for years and years and now just recently. But a whole new class of medicine that has been created, a new technology, and it's these monoclonal antibodies, and so we now can create antibodies, which is what our body naturally produces to fight off infections and things. We can create antibodies against these inflammatory cells or inflammatory mediators in the body.
It's pretty amazing. These dogs and cats, we can give them a monthly injection, and this one month injection that we give them blocks that pathway so that pain response is not there. We still don't have a cure for arthritis, so they're still going to have some authritic joints, but we can block the pain so they have a better quality of life. And so it's pretty dramatic how well.
These to do.
So we have a lot of pets come in that are on one of these nonstoryal anti inflammatory drugs, you know, like an aspen like product. We put a dog or a cat on that can have some liver or kidney problems with it potentially will create ulcers in the GI tract. And so these new monoclinal antibodies, we give them an injection once a month. We can get them off of these other medication and these dogs and cats do dramatically better.
We have videos that even some off our.
Own patients coming into building limping and slow to rise, very uncomfortable, very stiff and painful, and then just a couple of weeks later they'll run around the backyard playing with the ball. I mean, it's very, very dramatic how well these products work. So we're really excited about this, this new mode of therapy that's available.
Is this type of therapy something that is a monthly injection for the rest of the pets life or.
Yep, it is. Unfortunately, it is a monthly injection.
If you wait longer than that over time, over the course of you know, six or eight weeks, that injection wears off and so the pets go back to be uncomfortable again. So it's a it is a monthly injection.
Let's go back and just for a second here, doctor Steverson broadly talk about the issue of osteoarthritis for dogs or cats. First of all, is it at all breed specific in that in the degree like, are some breeds more inclined to have the problem? Secondly, are there any contributing factors that maybe speed it up or make it worse that a pet owner might think about or address absolutely Preston.
So typically we see osteoth rights a lot in the large very active.
Breachs of dogs, your labor retrievers. You know, your dopamin pinchers, dogs are extremely athletic and active. We can see it in small breeds of dogs as well.
And just like in US and humans, weight is a big factor.
Dogs that are heavier, overweight are more have a greater tendency to have osteothritis developed earlier.
Okay, so yeah, there's.
Not any specific breed to say this week's going to get authritis. It all depends on their activity level. If they have an injury early on in their life, you know, you expect it on threatic joint later on. So it's not reached specific.
So ask your veterinarian about these new monoclonal treatments for osteoarthritis.
If you're darker cat is suffering.
Absolutely great new products.
Good stuff, Doctor Steverson, thanks for the time today.
Great thanks questioning.
Doctor Steve Steverson with the Bradfordville Animal Hospital. My guest, pause for thought. See look at us. We don't just care about, oh, the capital city of Florida being burned to the ground due to bad politics. We care about your pets. See that's how we roll around here this Morning Show with Prescott Scott. All right, we made the announcement back a few days ago that the thank you cards are.
En route.
Back some time ago, it's been a few months. We hit on an idea to put together a way of making a difference, and we can, I mean, we can impact a thousand people's lives and then go from there. When you think of it that way, it's pretty staggering. And so tomorrow on the program, I'm going to share some, if not all, of the audio that this card lead one too. But if you would like to thank you cards, they go to people that have offered you incredible customer service, not eh incredible.
Here's why.
And I'm gonna illuminate this in a letter that I'll send a note that I'll send with the cards. When you send me an email requesting the cards, I will reply with our mailing address, and then you send me a self addressed, stamped envelope and I'll send you twenty cards. I'm gonna trust you with twenty.
Here's why.
You give them to the best of the best. Because coworkers will notice they'll say something to their coworkers, yeah, I got this card, and they'll and look what it says, and their co workers are gonna go figures.
They're incredible.
They know, they know, and they'll hear the message and maybe it will not just encourage them, but it will inspire their peers to lift their game up. And then that filters up to the business owner. And I'm just telling you the potential is huge. So send me an email pressing at iHeartRadio dot com. Pressing at iHeartRadio dot com and I'll reply with the address. Send me the self addressed stamped envelope, and together the MAD radio network we can make a difference. Okay, this is good read
trip idea. If you are out and about and you know what I need to just look up here, hang on, hang on. I should have done this first. I'm sorry. I'm negligent here. Virginia, Minnesota. Virginia, Minnesota is let's see here. It is to the northeast of Hibbing. It's near the border waters. It's not far from Lake Superior, so it's in the northern part of Minnesota.
This is cool.
It's it doesn't have its own website, although it is listed not just in my book Unique America, but it's listed on a website called roadside America dot com where they float ideas.
For you float.
Sorry, I borrow that from the story. It's the world's largest floating loon. It's made of fiberglass. It's in Silver Lake in Virginia, Minnesota. It's held by an underwater chain. Twenty one foot long loon. It is, it's it's massive, it's it.
Is so cool.
Loons are cool and they make a very cool sound when you hear loons on a lake. It really is cool. Jose's pointing to himself like he's a loon. Eh.
Close enough.
Anyway, if you're in in the northern parts of Minnesota making a trip to the border waters or you know up there, check out the world's largest floating loon, Silver Lake, get your camera out, take a picture, send.
It my way.
Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Back with Doctor edmore, a little more history. Hour three of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All right, here we go.
It is the third and final hour at least for of the Morning Show with Preston Sky. Good morning friends. Jose, can you see over there in Studio one? A, I'm here in studio one B.
Quick little note here.
Those of you sending email, some of you have email servers that are not taking my email replies. So if you're asking for the thank you cards and you're not hearing back from me, it's not my fault. It's your server. Okay, it's usually Aol addresses. Yes, there are still some of those Yahoo addresses. Yes, there are still some of those. There are a handful of addresses that the servers just your server's not cooperating. So I'm just telling you, all right, it's not me ignoring you.
I'm just telling you.
I'm going to post it on our blog page sometime over the weekend, and I'll put it on social media, so you can direct email me or not email me, but mail me yourself addressed stamped envelopes that way. All right, it's time for more history doctor edmore joins us.
Hello, are you I'm pretty good?
Yeah? Yeah, all things considered, I'm here green sign up like the old joke.
Other than that was the play missus Lincoln.
That's right.
Yeah, we were talking about elections in history. We talked about some of the interesting little nuances, and you only got through one paragraph of one page of your seventeen pages.
And then I just scarded all of those, yeah, and went back in research some more, you know.
And of course we'll disregard that and come back next month.
That's right, because once I go off on a tangent, then I can't help myself. You know, we were talking. We started out this series talking really about the growth of America, expansion, adding states, and then kind of hit a speed bump with a couple of other issues and talking about elections. But elections.
His spirit dog is is any any pointer that just goes.
One that one squirrel? Yeah, that's it.
That's what happens to me when I get online. Yep, that'd be a little highlighted thing. Well most people just read ride past that.
Not me, not you.
I click on it, and then I'm click on the next one and the next one.
So what dog trails are we down today?
We're talking start out, we're talking about Florida, just how Florida has grown. So we're going back to the original. We're talking a little bit about how Florida becoming a state in eighteen forty five and all that, but just growth in this state. So many people are new here, they don't understand how Florida has grown. I mean, I've been you know, I've lived out of state for a couple of decades, but spent all my childhood down here
and most of my senior adult life. I've been back twenty five years, and this state has changed dramatically, and yet it's still one of the least government intrusive government expenditure states, even as big as it is, which is really quite remarkable. You can only go back if you only go back to twenty ten. Okay, with just twelve fourteen years ago, but on a they lag about two years when they start doing population esmate. So over those
twelve years, Orange County. Now, if you drive through Orange County, you understand. But Orange County has had the largest growth in those twelve years. Over three hundred thousand more people moved just into that county. Our neighboring county, Gasing County, lost the most people. They lost forty four hundred people roughly in those twelve years. People moving elsewhere. There's changes all around, but we tend to think of all growth.
But you're in a county like Gasden, if you lose four thousand people, that's a big chunk of your small population. What does that due to the local economy. So it's Florida's a kind of a microcosm of the rest of the country, several different types of states, if you will. If you gathered up the various counties together, it's very different, a lot of changes. Florida grew from eighteen point eight million people in twenty ten, it grew eighteen point eight
million more people in those twelve years. It's a lot of people.
That's a lot of people's that's roughly a million and a half a year.
That's bigger than more than half the states. Okay, that's just our growth we got. Right now, we're probably over twenty three million people. But in twenty two when they did population, it's twenty two point two million people. Huge growth, eighteen percent growth during that time frame, the United States grew seven point seven percent. I guess if you could count all the illegals, it'd probably be even more so.
But oh, we probably are counting them. But never mind.
Florida has changed during that time as well. In twenty ten, we were fifty eight percent white. In twenty two, we're only fifty two percent white. What grew Hispanic population Black populations in Florida didn't change at all as a percentage of the total population during that timeframe. Even though there's growth, it's a percentage of what your share is. Florida has been a big part of the US history a long time.
We'll talk about the eighteen seventy six election. We've talked about that before and the role of Florida played eighteen forty five when Florida became a state. We're players. We're bigger players now than we've ever been on the national stage.
Doctor Edmore with Us. We affectionately call the segment more history now. It was a deep dive when we thought of it that day, but more next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, doctor Edmore with Me, and we're talking more history.
As time goes by so fast, I know in those changes too as well, the changes of who lives here changes sixty five and over as a segment of our population. There's a back in the seventies, everybody thought this was retirement heaven and that shi who came here. Well, we're
kind of back to that again. In those same twelve years, we went from seventeen percent to over twenty one percent of the population being over sixty five, and every other age demographic age group shrunk as a percentage of the population. They all grew, but they shrunk, and the school age population under nineteen went from almost twenty four percent down
to twenty one percent. Now you think about the implications for public policy and what the legislature does and how they spend their money, it lags a little bit because all that information doesn't get captured. But where the state spends its money in large part is driven by who lives here. And going forward, we're going to probably see a lot of changes. We're seeing changes in voter registration.
The people that are moving here Republicans an hour or the other day, a million and thirty thousand.
Yep, that and growing.
And Republicans were getting elected in the past even with that happening. But that's because they are a huge independent vote. It's in the old blue dog, yellow dog, whatever on. A kind of dog used to vote conservative as well. I started working in this process first in nineteen seventy two, Democrats dominated the back row of the legislature in the House was Republicans. There were thirty thirty four of them
out of one hundred and twenty. Now it's the opposite, and people go, oh, that's because of apportionment and all of that reapportionment nonsense. It's population driven. You know, you can draw maps anyway which you want, you're still going to come up with numbers like that.
It's also good policy. That's bear fruit.
Yeah, the US changes. Texas has had the largest growth in our country. And we'll talk probably the next time or a time after on that expansion out west, but four point eight million new people in Texas during that timeframe. Illinois, surprise, had the biggest decline in population. They've lost about a quarter of a million people. And that's continuing. The people that are coming here, and I don't think it's going to change.
They're still voting, mind you folks, but never mind, Well they're voting, but they're vote. They're still on Illinois.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's a plus a plus the dead people. Yeah, they have a they have a poll center out in the cemeteries.
Uh.
Biggest county growth in the whole country's you're familiar with Arizona Americopa County. Yeah, added seven hundred and twenty six thousand people one no county in that same time in one little county, La County, La County, biggest drop in number of people. And so when you look at the real numbers and you think, well, I'm not surprised at that. You know, that's what's going on out there. Big growth has happened in Florida and spurts if you go back.
I'm looking at my notes here. Eighteen forty to eighteen forty five. Florida became a state, and they eighteen forty five. But the eighteen forty census, when they ran the census as a territory, there were an eighteen forty fifty four fifty five thousand people in Florida in the entire state. Half of them were slaves. Okay, I mean, so you're talking about twenty six twenty seven thousand free landholders. By eighteen forty five the number was up to eighty seven
thousand people. So what's that thirty three thousand growth as a percentage, A huge bomp, but still only eighty seven thousand people. I mean, Leon County has, you know, three hundred thousand people. That's not really huge. Thirty nine thousand of those eighty seven thousand though, in eighteen forty five, when we became a state, were slaves, and there were one thousand free holders or free slaves.
I'm sorry, So.
Florida talking about change. I mean, find someplace else that changed that, dally, except for when we talk in a couple of months about going west, were really no population to boom. We've got people. How do you deal with that? Those are the real, huge public policy issues that government faces, even when it's inadequate.
More to come with, doctor Ed Moore. It is seventeen minutes past the hour. All right, I'm not wasting any time, doctor edmore. Tallahassee, Florida go.
You know.
I knew that was coming, of course you did. Yeah, we talk about change. I mean I'm always fascinated by Florida and how much it's changed. Of if you go back to eighteen forty six, Florida had three we were just talking off air, three electoral votes. We have thirty now, I mean ten times the amount, and probably should have more. The next census. We definitely will get one or two
more congressional seats. Florida has played a pivotal role. I mean, if you go back to the Hayes, Rutherford Hayes, who became president as a Republican in eighteen seventy six election ran against a guy named Sam Tilden. Tilden was winning one hundred and eighty four to one hundred and sixty five. Most people don't understand the electoral college. It's kind of complex. Legislatures used to drive that whatever the popular vote was in the state really didn't matter as much. They would
tend to go with it. We experienced some of that here in Florida and the conversation in two thousand that the legislature could have gone, oh, we're going over this direction. They could do what they want. That's very clear in the constitution. Tilden was winning. He had one hundred and sixty five votes, twenty electoral college votes. No one was from Oregon. That could have gone either way. It didn't
really matter. But Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, three deep South Southern states at the time, think of this is eighteen seventy six, post Civil War reconstruction's going on. Grudgingly, well, what do the Southern states want? They wanted over They want all those Feds to get out of their communities and go back to Washington, leave them alone. Three states got together and decided, brother, for days, you're going to use the Republican it was at the time they were
pushing reconstruction. We will end reconstruction. Bingo Hayes gets twenty votes, so he goes from losing to winning. He needed one hundred and eighty five votes to He ended up winning one hundred and eighty five to one hundred and eighty four. And reconstruction ended. Didn't have really much to do with the election, just had to do with the big topical issues at the time. So when people start complaining about what's going on on, yeah, we've always we've had fascinating
we've had worse. Yeah, in terms of manipulation and public policy changes because of politics. That's one of my little tangents that went. I I started reading all about that. Yeah, how fascinating that was. I told you off error as well. I looked and looked and looked, and all I could find. Apparently, in the eighteen sixty election, which was the first time Republicans won, Abraham Lincoln was their candidate and there were
four different candidates. The country was really chopped up. Apparently Abraham Lincoln didn't get any votes out of Florida.
That is a dubious distinction.
Well, and you go back and you looked at eighteen thirty nine, we had the constitutional convention in Port Saint Joe. We were just talking about the little town they in eighteen forties they had to have a state constitution in order to be approved for statehood. There were people in
Florida at the top. They barely approved the constitution. It barely won in the election when they put it up for a vote, mainly because there were people here that thought, and I'm thinking, this is this pre Civil War slave states versus non slaves and trying to make all these compromises. They thought, you know, if we wait a little while,
Florida could be two states. And so there were people that were pro state, but they wanted us to be two states East Florida, West Florida, or wherever you divided it, so that the southern states would still have more influence in the US Senate. And what happened, Iowa decided they wanted to become a state. They started moving real quick. They caught these people shorthanded down here and they kind of went, oh, well, we better go ahead and just be one state and go in to compromise. Because Iowa
would have been a free state. Florida was a slave state, and that's where the balance came from. All kind of weird stuff this morning. I understand you'll give me that look.
I guess I just sometimes wonder how we've made it this far.
We kind of bumble and stumble along, and we don't choose well off I use that phrase, we choose poorly at all kinds of levels. You listen to you and Steve this morning, and locally nationally stay whoever, we don't often choose well and we'd have to do a better job of that. But when we have failing, largely failing educational systems, particularly in the.
Urban cities, yeah, it's not much hope.
Yeah, Actually the time good to be here as always next month, more more tidbits, yep, I can't wait, doctor edmore. Whether it's twenty seven past the hour, thirty five almost thirty six passed the hour. Let's just get through all of the big stories in the press box. Why was Iran's diplomat carrying a HESBLA pager?
We know the answer.
It is a rhetorical question. It looks like Israel's massade was probably responsible for this, and it is quite frankly, one of the most ingenious paybacks in the history of warfare, because inside Israel they're saying as many as four thousand terrorists got touched and hit with life threatening injuries, and they set off a second wave of them yesterday using cell phones, automobiles, and any other electronic device that get
their hands on. They clearly interrupted a shipment. They knew that hes below rotated pagers and can.
I who uses pagers?
Sweet gosh, are you people just that ancient?
Give me a break? That is so old school?
So they likely rotate them. Israel new about it, they sent a different shipment. Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson said, I if Harris gets elected, I'm pulling my money out of the market. Said, there's a huge difference between the economic policies of Trump and Harris, and he is not going to allow his money to get it just annihilated by Harris's policies.
Not going to do it.
I've always been a big fan of paying attention to what the big people are doing, because they're not stupid. That's why they have their money. It's just interesting. Arizona admits nearly one hundred thousand non citizen voters are listed on voter rolls. It's a lawsuit that's been filed. They had to disclose it. It's been admitted to Biden won by ten four hundred and fifty seven. To me, this is so far beyond smoking gun. This is weapon in the hand of and this is just people that did
not show proof of US citizenship. This is en counting duplicate addresses, multiple ballots going to duplicate going to the same address. This is encounting people registered in one state versus another state. This isn't even touching those fundamental irregularities. This is strictly people that did not ever verify they were a US citizen and have been given the right to vote in Arizona nearly one hundred thousand.
Don't tell me.
That this isn't happening, didn't happen, and can't happen again. By the way, I'm in favor of passing a continuing resolution for funding for a few months in return for passage of the Save Act for Voter Integrity.
That'd be good. I'd be good.
And twenty eight percent of Democrats and Erasmus and Pole think America better off if Trump had been assassinated. If you're listening to this program and you're a Democrat and you're not Ryan Ray, Jeremy Matt Lowe in that crowd, which means you're off the farm. You're a rational thinking Democrat. I'm sharing this to embarrass your membership in that party. Nearly one out of three think Trump's being killed is better for this country. That should shame you to be
part of that organization. If their position on abortion, their position on taxes, their position on nevermind forty minutes after the hour, a thought or two relative to the pope.
Next another little this had been here in the news not getting Uh.
Even Fox News has butchered this story, and I and I'm saying even Fox News less and less because Fox has just lost its edge.
It's it's lost its game.
When Rupert Murdoch handed this over to his sons, one of them took over the running of Fox News more than the other, and he's just killed it. And they're losing market share for the first time and forever, market share which, by the way, they did not earn. It was handed to them by Rush Limbaugh. Don't think for one second Fox News exists today without Rush Limbaugh.
Rush proved the marketplace.
For honest news, and their hosts are conservative for the most part, no doubt about it. Their news reporting is dead, that was sorry, dead down the middle. But if you look at it like I'm going to show this to jose And and ask him to kind of visualize what I'm doing here. Okay, to his left, we've got the left wing news media, and then we've got conservative news outlets. Right, But let's just look at news reporting, not opinion based
stuff like I do. You've got the news that is the mainstream media, and it's left most all of it's left. If you do factual, independent reporting, you're in the middle. Middle is always right of left. And so the attack on Fox has always been, ah, they're just a concert. No, they're just right of left. Their center but center is to the right of left.
They're not.
They they were never conservative in their news. They were news. News isn't liberal or conservative. It's not supposed to be at least, but it has become that. And so as you analyze news fact based reporting, it just is.
It shouldn't be left to right, it just should be the news.
Here it is, And then you and I look at it, ruminate over it and form an opinion of things based on the reporting of facts. That's how the media has always kept Congress from going off the rails. Historically local politicians going off the rails state, national, But they don't do that anymore because they have an agenda that's linked with them, and so they're not going to report on anything that undercuts their agenda until it is really hard.
To not report on it.
And so anyway, Fox News not reporting accurately that the Teamsters Union rank and file members voted nearly sixty percent to support Donald Trump, only thirty four percent supported Kamala Harris. The Teamsters Union is taking no position in the presidential election. Well, the executive membership isn't endorsing the executive board isn't endorsing the membership, the rank and file. Oh, they've endorsed just about sixty percent of said Trump. That is a massive
news story, but that's not been reported properly. Just a piece by Christopher Tremaggley with the Washington Examiner, and he's taken apart Pope Francis, who has stepped in at a few times lately. The kind hearted, heretic is what I refer to him as, and I can say that because he claims to be a Christian and he's speaking heresy, he's speaking biblical untruths. That's a heretic. And may God have mercy on his soul because he will be judged
very harshly. As a quote minister, priest, pastor, let alone pope, whatever that means. I don't kiss the hand of anybody unless it's in affection, and it's going to be my wife or my kids. Right anyway, He slamm Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. They are both against life, the one who throws away migrants and the one who kills children. He's equating deporting migrants who are in this country illegally with throwing them away. That's an interesting choice of words,
writes Tremaugli. But Tremaugli more accurately gets here. This is the mic drop moment.
Ready.
How many migrants is Pope Francis taking in this year? How many migrants does Vatican City allow to live in its city state? The answer is zero to both. Once again, you know them by their fruits, what they say, what they do. Forty seven minutes after the own final moments, don't miss.
Them above tomorrow on the show.
We've got you, You'll be my stars tomorrow, corn ucopia of complaint.
What's the beef?
In the third hour, We'll have good news to be best and worst, the best and worst, the best and worst. Jose He's in a panic over there because he thinks I'm queing him for something. I'm queing him to think of the best and worst because that's tomorrow on the show. He's freaking out over there.
What did I What have I forgotten? I don't know what I Why is he playing?
He's not listening to me. See he's over He's just gripping his brain.
Is just going.
Got me think this This might be his worst, his worst of the week might be when I said this on the show today and he freaked out because I was just telling him to think about the best and the worst for his week.
Mm hmm.
Have you seen the movie? Have you heard of the movie? Am I Racist? It's the latest Matt Walsh documentary. He's the guy behind What is a Woman? Unbelievably pot this has gotten verified hot badge on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of ninety percent or higher. It is playing in theaters across the country, so look for it see if you can find it. The reviews are just out of this world. And of course he's diving into Dei and he's basically in costume undercover, going in and videoing stuff,
and it's just brilliant. So am I a racist movie worth watching?
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. All right, today's program. In one hundred and eighty seconds or less.
We started today's show as we always do in scripture Ephisians four. We went through verse seventeen and pushed ahead to verse twenty four. Tomorrow will get us Tophijians five to one, just kind of to capsule the week. So that's how we started the program today. Polling, twenty eight percent of Democrats think America is better off if Trump had been assassinated. That is a horrifying indictment on you, Democrats, not all of you, but on on the group of you.
That's just that's that's just shapeful. Arizona admits that nearly one hundred thousand non citizen voters are on voter rolls. This was an in a lawsuit under oath, had to admit it, So just stop with the poking at me when I'm saying that the election of twenty twenty, there are still questions that have never been answered, and I believe that it was illegally conducted in some states.
It absolutely was.
Hodge fan, hedge fund billionaire pulling his money from the market of Harris wins, and Israel at it again against Hesba.
Go get them back with you tomorrow.
