Transcript

Speaker 1

Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with President Scott. I'm just being an idiot. Pushed the microphone by and then it came back, and then it was back and forth and back and forth. Anyway, good morning, Welcome to Thursday on the program. It is November twenty first, one week from today. We will be over indulging on food. I'm not I'm not going to overindulge except for one area rolls I want. I want warm rolls with butter.

I want like fifty of them brown rolls. I've eyebawled them for a while now I just.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Anyway, welcome friends, we'll talk. We'll talk a little bit more turkey next Monday or Tuesday. Granted for me, Wednesday, maybe grand will do what's the blessing? That's been kind of a Wednesday thing. But since I'm gonna I decided, says I had to burn a day, I'm gonna burn the day before Thanksgiving and just take the whole day and just enjoy the long, long weekend. And then before you know it, it'll be we'll be singing Christmas carols

because when we come back after Thanksgiving, it's Christmas bump music. Baby, all the time, all of it. We used to roll it in like one and then you know, one an hour and then two. No, no, no. Now, now when we come back after Thanksgiving, Christmas bump music all the time. That's what's gonna happen. And in fact, during the twelve days, Presston, you're gonna hear Christmas bump music throughout the whole thing. Just how it's gonna be. But we've got great specials

for that. All right, let's begin with our scripture here today, John fifteen one through five. I am the true vine, and my father is the vine dresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. In every branch that bears fruit, he prudens that it may bear more. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you

unless you abide in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit. Without me, you can do nothing. Our purpose is to stay connected to Christ. Know this. There are lots of see we think bearing fruit. Come on being honest. A lot of us reduce these things blessings, bearing fruit, do money? Du kwan huh no no no, no bearing fruit eternally? What is it that a man gains the whole world and loses his soul? Like? Who cares?

I don't care about Bill Gates' money. I care about Bill Gates his soul. I don't care about Donald Trump's money. I care about his soul. I care about the spiritual health of my family. The rest God's got it. I know this. It doesn't matter what the checkbook says if someone is spiritually bankrupt. I heard someone once say I've never seen a hearse follow be followed to a funeral by a U haul. Right, So being connected to Christ is vital. If you're not bearing fruit, you know the

kind that God wants us to bear? Start simple? Are you connected to Christ? Ten past the hour? Inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go. It's a busy Thursday, as always, lots to talk about. It is great to be with you. He's Jose, I'm Preston. This is the morning show with me coming up to twelve past the hour, only smoked. My clock is eight seconds behind bat You go in the corner. Think about what you've done. November twenty first Pilgrim leaders framed the Mayflower Compact. Let me take a

second here. I spent some time in my commentary, which you will hear over the following days, and another thing giving you a discussion starter for the Thanksgiving gathering. I recognize we are living in very challenging times to have a conversation because people on the left don't know how to have one of those, so they just cut you out of their life. They're not capable of just having a civil discussion and agreeing to disagree, listening, giving room.

My dad said, horse, it takes two horses to make a race. I'm perfectly content to sit and listen to anybody and either be proven wrong or prove them wrong if it's an issue that requires that. Most don't. But there are a lot of things going on today that can be illuminated by history. If you do a deep dive into the writings of Governor William Bradford, you see a word that you don't expect, communism. He wrote it.

The Pilgrims tried communal living, communism where everybody worked together for the common good, and it didn't take long for them to realize they'd all starve, they'd all die. It wasn't the Indians so much that saved the Pilgrims, though they helped. It was pure capitalism and fundamentally the right of private property. Because the moment they decided to parse out the land and everybody had to work their own land, everything changed. See when they started the communism led to

some people working hard while others hardly worked. That wasn't gonna fly. I say that to say, and I'll say it again next week because I'll take a deeper dive into this topic as a as a focal point of the show. Monday or Tuesday, have a conversation and start with this. Did you know the Pilgrims were communists when they first came over. They brought communism with them. They believed in communal living. And don't take my word for any of this. Look it up. Read what Governor Bradford wrote.

The Old English is a little tough at times. You'll get it, trust me. Seventeen eighty nine, North Carolina becomes the twelfth state to ratify the Constitution. Eighteen seventy seven, Thomas Edison announces the invention of the phonograph. Really did he? Or did he steal that too? Edison was kind of a theft he a thief. Sorry, he engaged in thievery. He stole movies, he stole ideas, he did have some

of his own. I'm just saying, did he? Phonographs still goes down as one of the most incredible things in the history of the world. To me, I don't know how it's done, how it's How does music come out as those grooves? How Hower voices music faithfully? Almost it's probably better than digital reproduced coming through a diamond stylist. How is that possible? I know there's YouTube videos on it, that's not how is nineteen sixty four Verrazano Narrows Bridge

opens to traffic. James J. Braddock, former boxing champion The Cinderella Man, played a role in the building of the Arizonto Bridge. Nineteen eighty, millions of TV viewers tune into Dallas to find out who shot JR.

Speaker 2

Golly.

Speaker 1

I remember that. Nineteen ninety five Dow Jones closes above five thousand for the first time. There he goes seventeen.

Speaker 2

Pass now.

Speaker 1

And today is national ooh, what day?

Speaker 2

I'll tell you next.

Speaker 1

A two minutes past the hour, This morning show with restings, gag, Good morning everybody. How are you buy the guts to do an entire show and a weird voice? You'd hate me, you probably would, but it'd be fun to do. I just wonder if I could do it. I wonder if I could pull it off and stay in a character like for the entire three hours. I might be too neurotic for that. I just I might not be able to stay in that lane. Here's the thing, this is who I am. This is how God made me just

a little different. I just want to tell you Today is National Gingerbread Cookie Day. Show a hands who loves gingerbread cookies? Yeah, buddy, And I guess you know what's interesting is ginger has a little little kick to it, and so, to me, the perfect gingerbread cookie and it can have a snap. I'm good with that. I like chewy, I like snappy. I'm good with either. But they've got to have a little, just a little zing to them, because that's what ginger is. Ginger's got a little bit

of little something. There is there one particular flavor at at Thanksgiving and Christmas that you like the most. I'm wondering if Hose's going to join me in the show today. I love gravy. Gravy is a flavor of gravy. Well, our gravy lamp, but our gravy is a little is a little different because of the marinate of the turkey. Tambling from ron Burgundy. I love lamp. I love gravy. Yes, gravy. Gravy is good, but it's got to be thick. Gravy. Oh yeah, Runny gravy is no good. No, no, it

needs to be thick. Do you have like a special gravy recipe that you use? Yeah, yeah, we actually use some juices from our turkey. Uh yeah, uh. It's it's very citrusy, so the gravy, that's right. You use a citrus citrus kind of thing, so the gravy kind of entails that. So it's just I would not be down with your gravy citrus gravy. That's like homostoxy moronic to me. But but look, I respect that everybody has their own taste and the thing that they go to. I get it.

But like you know, National Gingerbread Cookie Day. There here's my problem. I'm carrying twenty pounds too many, and this time of year, it could be thirty in a minute, it could be thirty extra pounds that I'm carrying by the end of one week. And so I have to be just like, thank you for the cookies, but please don't give them to me. Don't just don't because I will eat them. It's like I said to start the show, I want rolls. I want it. Thats all. Thanksgiving today

is also National Red Mitten Day. It's a thing. What can I say? This is right up your alley. And you know what, here's what's funny. When I was kid, bless my mom's heart, and I know she's loving Jesus right now, and so she doesn't care what I'm saying. Contrary to what some of you think, our our relatives are not up there hanging out watching us. They're just not they're they're they're just they are before the Lord

and loving Jesus. But maybe it was the fact my mom when she would cook the Thanksgiving turkey cut it immediately. She'd take it out and cut it immediately, and and it was like, it's so cold and it's so dry. Can I drink some gravy while I'm eating this? Bite of turkey because it's awfully. It tasted good, I guess, but I didn't learn the art of assimilation until I was much older in life. The juices have to go back into the bird. That's why you don't cut it

right away. And we'll talk about that next week as well. But today is National Stuffing Day. I did not embrace stuffing until a few twenty five years ago. I spent more than half my life going to stuffing. Can you believe that? And today is the Great American Smokeout, third Thursday in November. That means stop smoking now, seriously, just stop, just stop it. Twenty eight minutes have to be out there. Your national day days right there, that's them. This is

the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thirty six minutes after the hour, there is a moment to seize here, a season, an opportunity, Morning Friends, ruminators. It's Thursday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston he says, hey, this

is a post from Seth Dillon. He's the CEO. He's in charge of Bablin B and the sister site not the B, the discredited, scandal ridden smear factory known as the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, is about to publish a hit piece docsing several of our not the be writers who wished to remain anonymous so they could speak freely without fear. The SPLC extracted sensitive information from our site. Then you that information to contact our writers directly.

I've included a screenshot of one of those emails below. We're determining how they obtained this information, but we already know why they went digging for it. They did it because they're left wing activists masquerading as journalists. They did

it because they lack principles. They did it because they're vindictive bullies who've admitted that their aim is to completely destroy individuals and organizations they disagree with by making them pay a steep price for speaking freely as a public figure. I've been attacked many times. It comes with the territory, and I accept that. What I won't accept is the doxing and smearing of our staff because they said some things the SPLC doesn't like. Andy Negau post underneath the

SPLC as a staffer. Thomas Jurgens, who is charged by the Atlanta and Georgia State prosecutors for domestic terrorism in a Rico Clantifa case. My word Clantifa. He is Antifa. His SPLC colleague, Creed Newton, who contacted your writers, is a far left extremist himself, like many in that organization. So people are coming forward and pointing out the obvious. Christopher Rufo, the SPLC is a scam, not the bee did nothing wrong. Christina Peshaw, who I note a little bit.

There's nothing wrong with stating facts. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and kids who have it deserve help and empathy, not affirmation and experimentation. Someone else wrote. Susan Cork is not only director of SPLC's intelligence projects, she is also managing director of norm Eisen's State Democracy Defenders. Norm Eisen set up up a massive election sabotage network of over one hundred organizations, working with Obama's Indivisible and the Communist

Working Families Party. Why is this the big story in the press box because we have a moment, We have an opportunity here to weed this crap out. Talk a little bit more about weeding that stuff out. The importance is to know that the Southern Poverty Law Center is a typical illiberal organization. Other accuses others of being and doing what it is and does. They accuse others of hate. It engages in hate, It accuses others of intolerance. It

engages in intolerance. It has allowed itself to become the arbiter of what hate is and is not. It will decide screw them, don't give them money, don't support that, don't give to hate organizations. I want to spend some time, and I caution you if you have children listening, this might be a time for the kids to put their shoes on, clothes on, and I want to go through for a few minutes. Here the case of Joseiah Ibarra.

He's the murderer of Lake and Riley. September twenty twenty two, he crossed over illegally into the United States through al Paso. He was subsequently released into the country on parole due to detention capacity at the Border Town Central Processing Center, there wasn't enough room. He's even as a whaleen member of trandeer Argua. On the second day of testimony in his trial, his former roommate revealed that he had taken a taxpayer funded trip to Georgia, where he ultimately murdered

Riley in the college town of Athens. Rusbelli flores Bello, the state's eleventh witness, testified that after abra illegally entered the United States, he stayed at New York City's once luxury Roosevelt Hotel, which was transformed into a migrant processing hub on the taxpayer dime, before flying on the taxpayer dime in a humanitarian flight from Manhattan to Atlanta and September twenty twenty three, Here's how he stalked and murdered Lake and Riley while she was out doing a morning

run one of the jogging trails at the University of Georgia on February twenty second. He put on disposable gloves and went hunting for females. That is a quote from witnesses. He lived alongside his brothers and others in an apartment building less than a half mile from the on campus park. He encountered her and attacked between her iPhone and garment watch,

a Christmas present she used for running. Investigators were able to determine that Riley placed a nine to one to one call at at nine to eleven am, mere minutes after she left for her run. At nine oh three. Eight minutes later, after going to start her jog, she was under attack eight minutes when she refused to be his rape victim. He bashed her in the head with a rock repeatedly, so much so he disfigured her skull. He put huge holes in her head with a rock.

He did it more than once for noise other reason than the silencer forever, said the prosecutor. Listen for more than seventeen minutes until her heart stopped at nine twenty eight in the morning. She fought for her life, leaving behind evidence of the struggle and marking her killer for the world to see. As prosecutors described the crime scene, the student's mother sobbed to hear all the details. After smashing her skull, in Abara dragged her body to a

secluded area to hide her. Authorities later discovered her underwear had been torn a bare. His fingerprint on Riley's phone, a sign that he'd hung up on the nine to eleven dispatcher. Spanish words for I have can be heard on the call. Security footage captured a Barra discarding a bloody jacket and gloves in a dumpster nearby. She'd be alive today. Had Democrats Joe Biden, Kamala Harris done their job and followed the law. His brother, Diego Abara, he's

tied to the gang just as his brother was. He's facing federal green card fraud charges. When police questioned him, he presented false ID, showed two different birth dates. He's currently incarcerated. But Abarra was sentenced to life in prison. The Western Judicial District Attorney Deborah Gonzales made that decision. We'll talk about that next forty seven minutes after the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott and then women

who serve our communities as first responders. Thank you. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott talking about the murder of Blake and Riley. Guilty verdict handed down or murderer. It was never in doubt. He waived a jury trial, wanted a bench trial, so the judge presided in. The judge listened to the evidence. That judge pronounced the guilt

or innocence. The judge determined the sentencing, but the Western Judicial District Attorney Debor Gonzalez only sought life imprisonment, quoting our utmost duty is to ensure that justice is served and that the victim's family is an integral part of the deliberation process. We understand that there will be those outside this office who will disagree with our decision and seek to exploit this case for political gain. However, the integrity of our judicial process and the pursuit of justice

must always transcend political considerations. Really, I'm gonna sound remarkably insensitive here, and I might be going where it's inappropriate to go. I'm just hoping that her last name of Gonzales didn't have anything to do with her decision. Here's why I say that. And before you write me any mail, consider she just said the victim's family is an integral part of this deliberation process. Really, let's consider what the family had to say. Lacoln Riley's mom implored the judge

to show no mercy, your honor. I'm asking you to give Jose the same thing he gave us when he showed no mercy when she was begging for her life. Joseah Bora took no pity on my scared, panicked and struggling child. This sick, twisted, evil coward showed no regard for Lake in her human life. We're asking the same done to him. Lake and Riley's father, Jason, the pain is unimaginable, said, He's haunted by the fear that she

must have felt in her final moments. The pain of not being there, not being able to protect her, is something I'll never escape. Her sister, Lauren Jose Ibarra completely ruined my life, and she requested a punishment that ruins his.

He was found guilty by the Judge Patrick Haggard one count of malice murder, three counts of felony murder, one count of kidnapping, one count of aggravated assault, one count of aggravated battery, one count of hindering an emergency phone call, one count of tampering with evidence, and one peeping tom count. Where the hell is Joe Kamala Harris? Where are the soft on the Border democrats now hearing any quotes from

any of them? Of course not, of course, not if I sound a little angry, You're darn right I am, because that's been repeated multiple times across the country, and I'm gonna say it and say it and say it. Most Democrats soft on the Border don't care she got murdered. It is just collateral damage. It just it comes with the territory of allowing the invasion of this country. Screw

that and screw them. This is our chance right now in this country to not just set some things right through executive or but to demand that Congress do the right thing, set policies in law that will never ever allow this kind of crap to happen again. If Congress fails in this, this country's going to burn. It's just a matter of time, and it might anyway. Came across the story here and I'll end the segment with this Washington Examina Examiner con Carroll the international conspiracy to erase

America's borders. It is an international plan for Europe and the United States to not have any borders that have any meaning at all because they think we are the cause of all the evils of the world. It's time to change that thinking. Morning Room, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and females only. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you, Thursday, November twenty first show, fifty two seventy Eightyes, Ose, I am

Preston and this is Steve. Steve Stewart Executive editor Telehasse reports early Happy Thanksgiving, sir, Good morning, same to you. Oh are good.

Speaker 3

Yeah, moving into a different part of the year. Obviously, city County reorganized. Let's start with the city.

Speaker 1

Yeah. City, Well, first describe the reorganizational process.

Speaker 3

So this is a you know, this is a ceremonial procedure where they this year we wrote an article about the incumbents, no incumbent's lost and local elections, so you know, shocking. They're just patting people on the back and congratulating them.

Speaker 1

And it actually is shocking.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it actually is. And there are ceremonial votes within the government. City's moving people into leadership positions like for example, Commission Brian Welts now is the chairman of the Leon County commiss And they do it rotated based on seniority. Is it every year or every other year? It's every two years. That career reorganization meeting did the same thing. It's a school board with I think or Cox moved up to vice chairman or maybe chairman something like that.

So they did, they get the they rearranged the chairs and move forward.

Speaker 1

But as you won't find it hard.

Speaker 3

To believe the city reorganization did not go as smooth as some of the some of the others do tell. Yes, mayor pro tem, which is a ceremonial position that takes care of some duties when the mayor's out of town or otherwise unavailable, right, And the person who was up for that, based on sort of the rotation and the

seniority was none other than Commissioner Jack Porter. So and so Curtis Richardson, who who barely won his election to uh maintain the I guess what you would call the moderate liberal majority on the City Commission, nominated Diane Williams Cox to that position instead of the miss Porter. And at that point we had a little back and forth

between the progressive movement and the wing of the party. Yeah, and because they're all Democrats, they're all Democrats, but there is a clear line between the progressive officials Jeremy Mattlow and Jack Porter. Jack Porter argued that you know that they should be demonstrating some collegiality here, and she should and she should be.

Speaker 1

The mayor of ProTem.

Speaker 3

Sorry, the word collegiality coming out of Jack Porter's mouth echoed in part I'm sure by Jeremy mattlow is just amazingly ironic. Well, I think even worse to have it hearing Commissioner Mattlow's comments talking about how this action is dividing.

Speaker 1

The community and and you know.

Speaker 3

Sort of ignoring the last four to six years of his behavior in terms of trying to think about it's the hundreds of thousands of dollars he's meant to try to take control of the city commission and it hasn't been able to do it.

Speaker 1

Well, he's trying to defeat John Daley, Diane Mill, Williams Cox, and Curtis Richardson. Hello, now, so what happened? What happened?

Speaker 2

Fly?

Speaker 3

Hello McFly After Porter and Mattlowe stated their case. Yeah, commit Mayor Daily responded and he said, look, you know, the mayor pro tem is in a position to deal with the city management when I'm not here. I have no confidence based on your previous comments that you actually wanted to And he said this that you publicly have stated you wanted to fire the city manager, so I don't really trust you to, you know, to take over

this position. And then there was the symbolic statements followed with Curtis Richardon and you know, we need to work on repairing those relationships, which I think is basically just cover. I think that what's going to happen, you know, we're starting to see it is I think the progressive movement is going to become irrelevant here. I think they've had

their shot. I think commission Mattlow has overstepped what he thought he could get done, and he himself is the one that has divided this community.

Speaker 1

And so it may be in the and the only one denying that Steve is is him and his sick of fans. Yeah. I think the first thing to look at is.

Speaker 3

Going to be the future Ryan Ray, who is the actually the aide to Commissioner Mattlow and the head of the local Democratic Executive Committee both. Yeah, and so I think, you know, we'll see, uh, we'll see what happens moving forward. But the reorganizations have taken place, and so now we're going to move forward.

Speaker 1

I expect that the city will see a.

Speaker 3

Little bit more confident leadership moving forward on issues, because before the election they're on their heels on a number of major things, and so we'll see what happens there.

Speaker 1

Christian Kaban District to Leon County commissioner's the vice chair, correct.

Speaker 3

Correct the ones that he was not challenged at all. Brian Welch was an incumbent than one, and also Carolyn Cummings, who's.

Speaker 1

The outgoing chair. Exactly all right, ten minutes past the hour. More to come Morning show with Preston Scott tub the UFLA taking advantage of the time. Executive editor Tallasker Reports subscribe. It's the only news publication that is above the fray. They just report the news and you decide what you want to do with it. Steve Stewart, the executive editor, just go to tallasker Reports dot com. You were mentioning the reelection of Curtis richardson a breakdown of the numbers.

My guess was that the northeast part of the community got him over the finish line.

Speaker 3

Yes, more than any anything in the past. We talked about this with the mayor daily race two years ago with Dozer and so the city's elected at large, but there is a division of five districts, and so you can go look it's geographical, and we looked at it last two years ago when Mayor Deilely actually came in behind Christian Doser in the primary, but I was able to win in November because more people vote, and you start breaking it down, he carried the northeast District four,

which is basically north of I ten, by thirty nine hundred vot votes, and he won by four thousand votes, So he would have won. Without the Northeast, he would have won the election by one hundred votes by a recount. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Now fast forward to this election. Curtis Richardson lost to Dotamon Johnson. There was another candidate in the race in the primary, you know, by a few votes, and then

the end the general he won by twelve hundred votes. Okay, but he won the northeast by like thirty five hundred votes. Without the Northeast, he doesn't win. And that's the reason why you saw Matt Low's pack, you know, pushing this tax increase issue while trying to hide some of the other issues. And what was interesting about this is the District one, which is the south side represented by Bill

Procter on the County Commission. So like Curtis Richardson got thirty eight hundred votes, Dotamon Johnson got thirty eight hundred and two votes. This is how close this was District three, which is Waverley Betton area, Piedmont, same type of thing, Docment. It was like about five thousand votes between the two of them. Ditamon Johnson got twenty one more votes. Now, the areas where Dotamon Johnson did better than Curtis Richardson were District two, which is this FSU areas students in

the presidential election turning out to vote. She won by about fifteen hundred votes. And then in District five, which is the more progressive Lafayette Park, she won by about seven hundred votes. So again a very close election, a lot of money spent on trying to minimize and paint Curtis Richardson as quote a Republican candidate, which is laughable. You could argue that it worked in some areas, but again the northeast Preston, you know, everybody likes to call

that conservative and Republican is fifty to fifty right at best. Yeah, And so basically, you know, and we're going to break this down again and look at some of the different numbers there, but these numbers that is the sort of where the moderate, common sense voters are, and Curtis Richardson won overwhelmingly, not with just Republicans with independence and Democrats. And I think that that is I think that's a

telling thing for the city. The problem is and and that area is growing, as you know, and so I just don't We'll have to see if this this push of a progressive movement's going to fade away in the next election and we get back to you know, more moderate candidates and see.

Speaker 1

How just get back to what's best for the city and the community as opposed to what's best for a political party. Right, And we talked about this for years.

Speaker 3

The Northeast is not going to be able to elect a candidate of their choice, but they are going to have an impact on who gets elected, at least for now. We'll see, Yeah, we'll see, but we're hey, moving in the right direction. But the point is the Northeast, it's solely responsible for electing Curtis Richardson and so on.

Speaker 1

Behalf of Northeast listeners, You're welcome to the rest of you.

Speaker 3

Yes, so you know, speed up some parks out here or something, you know. Tell me about the Leon County School District. Yeah, school board a couple you know, they had their ceremonial reorganization, but they also dealt with some issues a couple of things. The Appalachi Elementary School, which is out located near the Lincoln High School is it's been under the radar or that now there's starting to be some reports on it. It's a D school in

the state. It's been a D school for a couple of years, and now the state is involved and see they are going to provide some regulation. They want to see a turnaround plan, and so the school board has had to deal with that. Another issue that they dealt with at their meeting was people who want to work from home. And you see this from a national perspective, you know, post COVID you mean within the district office. Yes,

like the administration. People who are you know, maybe accounting or other people that can actually do their work from home. You know, we've seen this across the country where they're they're starting to clamp down.

Speaker 1

Private sector businesses were doing it.

Speaker 3

Now government is starting to clamp down on saying, look, we can't have you working you know, at home, you need to be in the office.

Speaker 1

They've set some.

Speaker 3

Brand new rules up, a new policy the school board has and so we'll go through that. But I think that's interesting they're having the It's been what almost four years, and we're finally starting to deal with some of this some of this issue in the government level.

Speaker 1

When we come back, we'll take a look at the crime numbers locally. What are they telling us? Sixteen past the hour final segment with Steve Stewart Tellassi reports again, My good morning, and how are you to Max Hurley and Ryan Ray and Jeremy Madlal we are collegial here. Let me tell you something good to have you with us. It is real quick. Lorie Cox is the chairman of the school board. Okay, so from a ringoranization and.

Speaker 3

That now, look that's pretty interesting, right because Commission Mattlow and his.

Speaker 1

Pack went after ye her, targeted her to yeah, targeted her and so that money from California. We hate the politization of school boards, but we're gonna run against this person with one of the most left wing packs that's concerned about energy whatever. Wanh wanh want? Yeah?

Speaker 3

Anyway, So I wanted to talk a little bit about the crime stats, but the bigger story is just about local journalism.

Speaker 1

One of the things so we've been we do.

Speaker 3

We got tired of getting the FDL reports a year and a half after things happen.

Speaker 1

It's not very good. You know.

Speaker 3

Hey, look, you know crime was up a year and a half ago after we went through and look at all this. So we get reports from TPD every morning and we put them in a spreadsheet and we report on Now they're going to be they're going to be revised, but it gives you a good idea of what's going on. And I want, first of all, I want to talk about one issue. We saw a spike in auto burglaries and auto thefts, I mean huge hundreds, and we saw

it in our data. We reported it and sure enough, probably two and a half months later, TPD reported that they had rested two people okay, kids a twenty years in the sixteen year old who responsible for one hundred and thirty cases. So the point is this grassroots data gathering and reporting is on the money. This tells you what's going on in the community.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

So I need you to understand that so that you can believe it when you see it. Because what we have is when you start looking at people that read the national news and then they start focusing on locally look shootings, get all the headlines we've had twenty five shooting deaths this year.

Speaker 1

Last year we had twenty four.

Speaker 3

And so people see that we've our violent crime incidents are down eighteen percent when you compare it to last year, and it's actually down when you compare it to two years ago. So we are making some headway on violent crime incidents, okay, which is assault and battery, sexual battery, a robbery, arm robbery.

Speaker 1

But it's the outlier of these are these shooting deaths.

Speaker 3

Are the shooting debts, right, that's the one that gets all the media attention. And so when we post these stories, we get commenters and say, oh, yeah, right, the crime rate going down. This requires some nuance. You've got to understand what you're reading and what you're looking at. These these twenty five shooting desks. Again, even this year, January started with seven shooting desks, so right off the bat, your year is off to a really rough start. Since then,

actually shooting deaths have been down. But that again, that's if you want to take the time to understand what's going on. The second thing on the shooting desk, and we've talked about this, this is not this is not like you see in large cities.

Speaker 1

We just had innocent in New York. Didn't involve a gun. It was a knife. Okay.

Speaker 3

These are not random crimes, These are not These are not robberies. People playing up, you know, when you're getting gas and shooting you and taking your car.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

These are ninety five, if not all, of these shootings revolve around two things, drugs and domestic violence and TPD and the Leon County Sheriff's.

Speaker 1

Office people that know each other in some former fashion exactly.

Speaker 3

And this is the first line of a press release, is that the assailant and the we're familiar to each other.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and so I think again, that is different.

Speaker 3

So the reason why I talk about this is because if if good journalism, digging through the data and reporting is not rewarded, okay, and then it hurts the credibility.

Speaker 1

That could journalism.

Speaker 3

So we need readers and people who are looking at this to understand what they're reading and it is. It gets depressing when we report that violent crime is down, and then you see other local media and I'm nobody. I don't think anybody has reported in any substance of way that violent crime violent crime incidents are down this year compared to last year and the year before. Okay, all they want to do is focus on the shootings, and it really gives I think, are shootings I mean,

I'm going to ask the stupid question. Are shootings not considered a violent crime?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 3

They are, but they're they're over shat if you talk about if you talk about they're just part of a big pictures you talk about a thousand violent crime incidents and you talk about twenty five sheet. It really doesn't move the needle in terms of incidents, you know. And so again it's not to dismiss shooting because we have a separate paragraph that we write about shootings. But it's important to know the context of how this is being reported.

Speaker 1

It's the same thing. It's the same thing when you.

Speaker 3

When we talk about we're reporting about local economy real estate numbers. These are numbers that we're getting from the ground up. So you need to put them in context with what you're reading and you know, and how it fits with the community.

Speaker 1

Because again, I want to be I want.

Speaker 3

People to be rewarded for things that are working and not overshadowed by journalism that is just looking for clicks, and that's sort of the things that we're running into here locally.

Speaker 1

It's important for all of you to understand violent crime can be down while shooting deaths can be up, because shooting deaths only makes up a small percentage of the overall violent crime numbers.

Speaker 3

And then when you look at the shootings, are they affecting your neighborhood or are they are they something that you should be, you know, concerned about, because and then they're just random and people being targeted, and right, yeah, that is not the case.

Speaker 1

It's a great point, good distinction. Thanks, thank you, Preston. You get you get next to I'll tell you what oz we're gonna give him next Thursday off. Okay, no, no, no, no, I insist you get Thursday off. I was gonna come by and pick up my turkey. There's a joke there. I'll leave it. Twenty eight after the hour, Thank you, Steve, you press Steve Stewart, Tellasser reports again. He pushes away that Mike shows Druve today.

Speaker 2

He's gone.

Speaker 1

He's good, He's gone like the breeze. Back with more of the morning Show, Thing Show with Preston Scott What a lot of the time, Why you're not at the time.

Speaker 4

On news radio one hundred point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1

Big stories in the press box. Time here on the Morning Show, Doctor Steve Steverson, pause for thoughts, some very important Thanksgiving relating items for your pets. Now, seriously, we do this every year at Thanksgiving time, and we might save your pets life. And that is not hyperbole. Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon B and Not the Bee, calling out the Southern Poverty Law Center for doxing its employees. And they're not going to put up with it. So

fight on. Here we go. I'm making you aware. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a disgrace. Now I've invited them to come on the program and defend themselves. I sent them a note last night. I said, you are welcome to come on and explain doxing employees at Not the Bee and explain how you define the word hate. They're not going to respond because they're cowards. This this is an organization that harbors hate, promotes hate, promotes division. Golly,

what does that sound like? Wait? Wait? Wait oh yeah, the Democrat Party. By the way, did you know that there's a new social media outlet for snowflakes. It's It's called Blue sky Blue Sky. A bunch of conservatives are out there trolling it and getting banned immediately because they

only want to be an echo chamber for illiberalism. Awesome, let them now listen you you can, you can ignore my advice, but if you're in business, stay off that site because conservatives, people that run businesses that are successful, run those businesses by conservative principles. You want no part of illiberalism. Don't go the political game, the political correct game. Don't go woke. Speaking of couple little interesting stories here, do you see about Jaguar, the auto brand. They've gone

full woke, full series of ads with adrogynous models. No, they've intentionally gone with a bunch of models promoting their vehicles that look like neither males nor females. WT are you doing? Want to know where this ends? Two words, bud light. That's where this ends. Jaguar is killing itself by going this route. Second example of go woe, go broke. Major retailer stock shares plunging. Why because they missed Wall Street's quarterly earnings estimates and it's cut its full year

profit guidance. So the stock fell just a tick under twenty percent. Who is that major retailer target. Tarja continues to live with the consequences of poor choices. Follow the lead, Folks, don't go there. By following the lead, I'm talking about, learn from the example. Don't go there. Forty minutes past the hour, Big stories in the press box here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. But a little bit next hour, Doctor d Moore, a little more history. But

right now, let's save a pet's life. It's time for pause for thought. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott with doctor Steve Steverson of the bradford Ville Animal Hospital. Good morning, My good sir.

Speaker 4

How are you.

Speaker 5

Hey, Preston, I'm doing great.

Speaker 1

How are you? I'm doing well. I told everybody this is the time of year that you always come on the show and give warnings on the dues and don'ts of the Thanksgiving dinner table and our pets.

Speaker 5

Yep, exactly, Preston. I'll get this question up. We get this question a lot this time of year. What can I feed my pet? You know, it's Thanksgiving, We're having a big feast. What can we do? What should we not do? You know, there's a lot of things you can give your pet.

Speaker 1

Be very carefully.

Speaker 5

Don't want to create a dog's bag from the table from then on, but you do want to make sure you're giving the pet things that are safe. Turkey meat is okay, especially the white meat of turkey is fine. De bone and de skin, no bones and skins for your For your dog, your cat. Dogs can eat sweet potatoes. You can also give them green beans or peas are fine.

No desserts. Desserts chocolates toxic to dogs, and a lot of your sweeteners and artificial sweeteners are toxic to dogs as well, so just avoid any desserts for your dog. Pumpkin is fine. You can give them apples, some type of a lot of fiber and apples they're they're really good. Probably leave the core out of it and just cut the the apple out, the core out of the apple for them. So there's a lot of things you can give your dog, but there again, be very careful what

you do feed them. Be aware of what you're doing. Once you're done, you put all the food and the plates, everything in the trash. Make sure the trash is not with dog can get to it. Uh. Probably at least at least one time after Thanksgiving, we have somebody come in with the dog that has gotten into the trash, and that can be a disaster to all kinds of problems for them. So make sure the trash is put away so the dogs can't get to it. Don't leave it by the back door. I think you'll take it

out later. Makes you know you have a dog's gotten into the trash and you've got a problem.

Speaker 1

Let me ask you a couple questions here. First of all, you mentioned turkey meat, and you mentioned white meat. What about the dark meat?

Speaker 5

Dark meat's okay, there's much more rich, and so you have to be careful of what quantity of dark meat you give your dog. Too much of that and it'll create some gi problems. So we also can just stick with the white meat and you're fine.

Speaker 1

Do you ever have to worry about because the white meat tends to be, especially depending on how quickly someone cut that turkey, tends to be dryer meat. Do you ever have to worry about the meat kind of getting stuck in the throat of a dog.

Speaker 5

No, that is never really a problem. You tend to chew it up and handle that without any trouble whatsoever.

Speaker 1

Let's talk Let's talk about the turkey legs because those I know a lot of people just they've got this default mechanism of throwing a bone to a dog. But poultry bones are different, aren't they.

Speaker 5

Any type of an avian bone is much thinner than a beef bone. They will splinter and shatter, and when they splinter, that's what creates the problem. The dogs chew up the bone those splinters and they they swallow them, and those create tremendous problems in their gatry. They can get lodging there, they can perforate their intestines, create all kinds of issues. So no turkey bones whatsoever to your dog or your cat.

Speaker 1

When you mentioned pumpkin, you're not talking about the filling in a pumpkin pie because that's loaded with sugar. You're talking about just raw pumpkin.

Speaker 5

Russ exactly. Raw pumpkin is fine. Cook pumpkin, but not pumpkin pie filler. Not sweet potato filler either. That has a lot of sugars added to it. That's not gonna be good for them. But just plaining pumpkin is fine, plain sweet potatoes fine.

Speaker 1

It's so funny because I think most people when they think about the Thanksgiving me and the pets. They're thinking dogs because dogs just have that look and they just stand there and staring. What about cats, Oh, same.

Speaker 5

Thing goes to cat with cats as well, Preston. Cats definitely won't turn down a piece of turkey if you offered to them, hopefully so again, no bones, no skin, just playing turkey meat. All the things you're mission for dogs applies to cats also good stuff.

Speaker 1

Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 5

One of the things oftentimes you see on the table possibly or in the snacks before or after Thanksgiving are raisins and grapes, and those are out for your pets. Also, no raisins or grapes to your pets, ie, those can cause kidney damage.

Speaker 1

Okay, nice, All right. When we get back together, we're going to talk about Christmas and Christmas gifts for dogs and cats, and some dues and don'ts for the for the Christmas season. Doctor Steverson is always thank you so much for the time.

Speaker 5

Well absolutely looking forward to the pressing.

Speaker 1

Thank you, sir, Doctor Steve Steverson with us a couple of times each month. Pause for thoughts here in the Morning show with us in scott Man before we get to the road trip idea. This morning on the program, showing you how versatile we are. So we don't just talk about politics.

Speaker 6

We talk about our pets, we talk about travel, we talk about animals, we talk about stupid criminals in Florida.

Speaker 1

Man. We share good news and the best and worst of our week.

Speaker 2

We share a.

Speaker 1

Dad joke, and we share stories like this. I wanted to share this because it underscores something that I think is really really cool and important. I love the game of golf. It's been part of my life since I was five years old. I when I was younger, played at a decent level, and I'm okay in my older age. But as a follower of the game of golf, I followed the guys that play the game professionally, the girls that play the game professionally, all the tours that are

out there. And you might remember the story. Rory McElroy one of the best players in the world and has been for a number of years. He's a marvelous player, and he's a very articulate young guy who's not as

young as he used to be. As all of us, right, we're all aging, but he and he had filed for divorce from his wife, Erica, back in May However, one month later, he told a newspaper outlet that they reconcile their differences, quoting over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Thank you. We have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning. And they have a beautiful little daughter,

Poppy is her name. Rory from Ireland. I don't think I think his wife is American, but I could be wrong. I just want to highlight a couple that fought through it and came out the other side. Those words, Eric and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Those words just hit so deep in my heart and I was so happy for them, And I wanted to highlight that he won a tournament. He had a bunch of close calls. He won a bunch of tournaments this past year, but you know, he didn't

have a Scottie Scheffler year. If you know the game of golf, you know what I'm talking about. But he ended his season with a win. He had so many close calls and he was just his wife and his daughter were out there with him, and he tears were just he was so happy to be sharing that moment as a family. And I guess I want to just encourage those of you that are struggling in your marriage

right now. Fight for it, Contend for it. If you've been on the wrong side of being faithful, confess it, change, keep your family together. You will rue the decision not to the rest of your life. I just love this story in this example, fight for your marriage. Road trip, Come on, let's go. Time to consider a trip Christmas season. So we're giving you destinations to embrace the Christmas holiday. I'm going to suggest Helen, Georgia, which is a cool

little Bavarian German town. Years decades ago, they said we got to do something because we're losing this town and so they made a conscious decision to turn it into a Bavarian village. And so my suggestion, it's six what six and a half hours away from where we are here in the capital city, so it's not far no matter where you're listening to us from in Florida, but you're up in the in the mountain country and it's cooler AND's there's all kinds of places to stay and

things to do. So there's my recommendation. Helen Georgia, come back. Doctor Edmore joins us a little more history on the Morning Show with Preston Scott by pass the hour. It is the third and final hour, at least for today, of the Morning Show with Preston's cocky Morning on Preston. He's ose. It is Thursday, November twenty, first show, fifty two seventy eight, and it's time for a little more history. Doctor Edmore, ore resident historian, joins me, Hello, sir, Happy Thanksgiving a week early.

Speaker 7

Yeah, it's a great time of year, my favorite time of year. Of forty five degrees this morning.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, buddy, I was loving it absolutely and I'm gonna love the thirties when that comes in the next few nights.

Speaker 7

I left the house and a T shirt and went back in and grabbed a light jacket. Yeah, but it feels great.

Speaker 1

I love this time of year as well. Our topic today if there's something that sort of says, the more things change, the more they stay the same, and history repeats itself at all of those axioms that we've heard over the years, whatever's going on in the world today, it's kind of like, well, we've been here before.

Speaker 7

Yeah, we're all pretty egocentric thinking at our time, and history is very very special. But it's probably why I like history so much, because you find so many parallels and connections, you know, you do the dotted line on the wall, things that happened. One of my favorite periods in American history. Anyways, eighteen eighty to nineteen ten, that thirty year period. Why it's a transition of what became the United States. I mean, it already was United States,

but not real big. There were thirty six or eight states then, but our population is only fifty million people. And some of the issues were wrestling with now, like immigration. It's how horrible immigration is. Well, there were fifty million people in the eighteen eighty census that lives in the United States, about the size of Texas, in Florida now or then the next yeah, then or the next three say, it's pensive New York, Illinois combined them all less than

probably about forty four million in those three states. Today a very very different country. And so I've been reading some on this. I thought, you know, it'd make for an interesting show for people to understand these parallels and understand some of the issues. Some of the things we take for granted now began in the eighteen eighties. During that decade, paint the decade. What was the eighteen eighties like growth in America? A lot of immigration, a lot

of people coming here from other places. The Irish immigration wave had already occurred thirty years, starting thirty years prior through the Civil War, but then during this time frame from eighteen eighty to nineteen ten, a lot of books

have been written about it. It was the European migration, huge migration to America that a lot of our movies when you look at The Godfather and those kind of movies, the settings that Godfather won in the settings, those were the Mediterranean type folks that were coming in Germans and I mean settling. America needed people, so we had to settled the west. One of points I'll make here is the Oklahoma land Rush occurred in the eighteen eighties, not

that long. One hundred and thirty five or so years ago. They opened up Oklahoma to get give people. I was one hundred and twenty acres I think they could get and they all raced out at the same time to get to put their stakes in the A very different setting in welcome, wanting and welcoming immigrants to come to America because they were needed. Now our systems a jumbled mess, but we need to go back to figuring out who do we need, what do we need. We're not replacing ourselves.

Western Europe is not replacing themselves in terms of having enough children to sustain going forward. I have to build your population and fill your job some way. We just been doing it wrong. Then it was like open door, y'all, come on right, we'll give you land.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 7

Yeah, just a crazy period in American history. A lot of inventions started, a lot of major corporations started that we now take for granted all started during that time frame.

Speaker 1

Doctor edmore with me nine almost ten minutes now past the hour. More to come as we talk a little more history the eighteen eighties on here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4

On News Radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA.

Speaker 1

Eleven minutes past the hour. Staying on time for a change. That's something I don't do very well or often. Doctor edmore with me, a little more history. We're talking about the eighteen eighties forward here in America.

Speaker 7

Let's look at politically one of the things you look at when you go through we start to think of change and Republicans and Democrats. Well, that really began in eighteen sixty. Lincoln was the first Republican elected. And one of the things I found fascinating is that there were only four time periods in our history where a party, one political party controlled the White House for three terms or more. Only four times. In the modern era we

do eight years and back and forth. But one of the times was Reagan Bush and then we went Democrat, then we went Republican, then we went Democrat, then we went Republican Democrat, and now we're back Republican. That's pretty common all throughout history. Lincoln to CHESSA. A. Arthur was a twenty year time frame, Republicans controlled, McKinley to Taft was a twelve year time frame, and FDR and Truman a sixteen year time frame. Three out of the four

extended periods, we're Republican. But it's a pendulum. American history has always been the pendulum. People want all of this, and then they go, no, we want that, and it goes back and forth. In control, we've had assassination, an assassination attempts. I mean Donald Trump got shot, Reagan got shot. Kennedy was killed back in this same timeframe, we lost to presidents how Garfield got shot and while he was in office, and McKinley got shot while he was in office.

It's how Teddy Roosevelt became president. We've been a violent society forever and people.

Speaker 1

Ten Roosevelt got shot too.

Speaker 7

Roosevelt got shot. Teddy Roosevelt got shot and gave a one hour speech with a bullet in his long Yeah. A tough guy, bully, bully billy, kind of like Reagan making a joke while he's laying on the table. I hope you're hope you're a Republican of the surgeon. I mean, we've had we have picked well sometimes and sometimes we choose poorly throughout our history. And over the next few months, I'm going to focus on some of these presidencies during

that time frame from eighteen eighty to nineteen ten. Some of them were really good and some of them were scandal ridden, with all kinds of problems, many of the same things we see today, but so many cool things. I did a sort of a timeline, I mean the Panama Canal. January one, eighteen eighty, Panama Canal began, the French French spent three years trying to build it didn't get anywhere. I think twenty three thirty something years later,

under Roosevelt, we finally finished the Panama Canal. But what we learned from that, it's sort of like now with Musk and the push to go to space or our entire space program, which we've done radio shows on that back in the sixties and seventies. It's the benefits you get out of these kind of programs. It's not just going to the Moon. It's how it changed communication and all kind of electronics and all of these things that came out of the Space program Panama Canal. We learned

about disease. We learned about how to treat malaria, and how to treat other kind of jungle diseases, and treatments emerge.

Speaker 1

The things you encounter by doing X, Y and Z.

Speaker 7

Yeah, you have to do something to fix the problem. That's the mother of slowing you down. It is absolutely Boy, did you just make that out? Maybe not, But the canal began in eighteen eighty. Now we take it for granted, and it's gotten bigger. And now if you've seen any of the ships offshore that come through there, now there's they're they're like cities out there, they're so big coming through amazing. But over was that one hundred and fifty years of time frame. As I said earlier, the national

population in eighteen eighty census with fifty million people. Fifty million, that's a little less than the combined populations of Florida and Texas, but that was our entire country at that point in time. If you add the next three states, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois together, that's less than fifty

million people. So the big change in this country was going from a mostly rural extended trying to get people to move west to boom where you know, we've got to put these people somewhere, and we were trying to attract all these people to come here. In November of eight excuse me, November of eighteen eighty, James Garfield, the Republican was elected president, and he I found different numbers.

It's interesting they couldn't count very well back then, just like we don't count very well now, only in certain states. The closest presidential election probably in history, about seven thousand votes different is the lowest I've found between those two. We all know about James Garfield. Probably nobody knows about Hancock, the Losers throughout history. We could do shows they're forgotten

shows on the Losers. You're running for president of the United States and you almost win, but nobody knows who you are.

Speaker 1

You're forgotten to history.

Speaker 7

Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1

Doctor Ed Moore and more to come sixteen past the hour in the Morning Show. I always have a chuckle at AT's expense because he's got fourteen pages of notes and we get talking and next thing you know, he's not even looking at them.

Speaker 7

Yeah, I do them and I never look.

Speaker 1

And then I could see it in the last segment, he's looking at his notes and he's doing the math in his head. I'm in trouble.

Speaker 7

Go go. One of the interesting contrasts.

Speaker 1

Probably gonna cover three decades.

Speaker 7

I'm not talking really quickly in four minutes. Go ahead. No, we're gonna do it a little out of time. Do it a little out of time.

Speaker 1

All right, we're gonna go a little long here, go ahead.

Speaker 7

But there's some interesting people in that timeframe too, similar to now. I mean, every forty to fifty years or so, we get a Gates Elon Musk, Bezos Kind of innovator changed the world this time frame. Back here in the eighteen eighties, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell got together and they formed the Oriental Telephone Company.

Speaker 1

Why they call it that, who knows.

Speaker 7

I don't know. If they were probably looking to go overseas with it. There are some kind of innovation. But off air, we were talking about some of these people that created things that now are absolutely have always fascinated me. But I still I'm not smart enough to figure out all these things. But how do they take a voice transmitted voice through a wire to wherever it went or through the air. But like we're doing right now, people are sitting in their car or at home or wherever

they happen to be, and they're hearing my voice. Fascinating putting voice Edison had a lot to do, whether he stole ideas or not. You're smirking with Victrola's and record players taking someone's voice, or taking an orchestra and putting in a little piece of vinyl and you can play it and hear it just like they just said it. Absolutely fascinating. These inventions began in the eighteen eighties that we now take for granted, now the voice goes into

your computer somewhere. You can take this show and send it to me, and I can send it to anybody I want. I don't think we're as amazed by these things as we should be. I think that's where this comes from. A guy like Elon Musk, fascinating guy. I think his mind is fascinated by the things he's able to do. Takes money and whatever, but that's what drives people like that. It's that creativity and the interest in exploring new worlds or exploring small parts of our lives. Talked about it.

Speaker 1

It's a cliche, but they think outside the box, so it totally do.

Speaker 7

But I think there I can. I'd love to sit and have a beer with him because I think his eyes light up when he starts talking about creativity and doing things different. People like that are absolutely fascinating and we all benefit from them. I mean, our society benefits from the innovations that come from creativity. The eighteen hundreds was a when you earlier we were talking about the flip. What happened? Why was it different than to me anyway?

Is it went from completely our societies went from being completely rural of horse and buggy and that type of farming. And two we're going to be different from here on in. And that difference made the difference for our country and what our country had ended up becoming about the most powerful innovative country in the world. And I think it's that spirit of innovation and creativity. The Chinese in our modern era have kind of come around from being totally

rural for forever or dependent on that to innovative. But they're not innovative where they are. And the Japanese were like this back in the seventies eighties. Create copiers. They can take something that you and vent and you create and make it better and then figure out how to market it around the world. We're not so great copiers as we are creators in our country and we stimulate creativity.

Speaker 1

Well, it's a matter of personal pride. I'd like to.

Speaker 7

Think, Well, whatever it is, it's just the American way. It's the way we are as people. We do different things. One of the points I looking, I'll just pick them off the page here. In July of eighteen eighty one, the Tuskegee Institute was founded. Now, if you think of from the Civil War and where the country was and how African Americans or Black Americans were treated during those time frames. Booker T. Washington a creative, very creative black

person in America. He invented all kinds of things and figured out to take agriculture and be creative with agriculture.

Speaker 1

Genius.

Speaker 7

Yeah, he created this Tuckie Tuskegee Institute that was for black students to give them an opportunity for post secondary education. We now have ninety nine HBCUs we call them, and I come out of the higher ed world. Historically black colleges and universities, almost all of them in the South, in the Southeast, almost all of them. They're just a

couple around the rest of the country. And it's a reflection of where we were in trying to create opportunity and how best to create opportunity for people that prior had no opportunity. Yes, so when we see the arguments, the modern art arguments today about well, I don't know why is the Florida has four HBCUs? What are they? Because we've got all these others we all ought to be the same. There's now did some number search on it. About a quarter of the students who attend HBCUs in America.

In these ninety nine institutions, a quarter are non black, and there's that transition that's occurring based on programs like Florida and m has physical therapy and occupational therapy that others don't. They're doing it, and there's changes that will occur over time to where that probably be a fifty to fifty or whatever, there'll still be HBCUs.

Speaker 1

But it's all rooted in the eighteen eighties eighteen nineties and the transitions in our country absolutely.

Speaker 7

Yeah. Yeah, because of innovation of Booker t.

Speaker 1

Can't wait to see what we cover next month.

Speaker 7

Yeah, I'll get past what was the July of eighteen.

Speaker 1

You've gotten in three lines in your notes.

Speaker 7

I was gonna do a decade today. I got to eighteen eighty one.

Speaker 1

So well done.

Speaker 7

Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1

We've got a great chance of getting through this in the next four years.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 7

I'm the am, I the energizer, Bundy or the hair I'm not, Or the turtle I'm not sure you know. The tortoise.

Speaker 1

Thanks for the time.

Speaker 7

More tortoise. I guess good to see you.

Happy Thanksgiving twenty eight after the hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. A little tight segment there went a little long with doctor Moore, but that's okay because that's what we do.

Speaker 2

My show.

Speaker 1

I rearranged the deck chairs. However, I want a big story or is in the press box Seth Dillon, who is in charge of the Babylon B and Not the Bee, calling out the Southern Poverty Law Lost Center for doxing some of his employees. Doxing is when people that are anonymous. For example, a lot of the writers at Not the Bee go by pseudonyms. They pen names, if you will. And the Southern Poverty Law Center has dug out their real information and is about to publish it all. And

Dylan's not going to have it. He said, I've been attacked many times as a public figure. It comes with the territory. I accept that. What I won't accept is the doxing and smearing of our staff because they said some things the Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't like. Go get them. Go get at them, buddy. And it's been pointed out that the people that are behind this Southern Poverty Law Center are a bunch of extremist, uber left wing.

I think years and years and years and years ago, when this organization first started, it had a noble cause, and then lefties got ahold of it and has they've destroyed it. They now if you look at everything they write, everything they do, every accusation they hurl, they're guilty of all of it. It's it's they're like the poster child for my rule on illiberalism. They are what they accuse others of being. They do what they accuse others of doing.

They are the if they are the poster child for that. Speaking of illiberalism, Target has dropped twenty percent of value because it's earning shares and its profitability are not what was expected. Why would that be because people aren't shopping at Target as much? Why would that be because Target went woke years ago and oh, by the way, Target make a big made a big deal of we're paying

our people fifteen dollars an hour. Cook, cook, cook. And what they didn't tell you that employees told you immediately after they went with this national minimum wage for Target, we're ahead of everybody. They cut hours so there was no net gain for the workers. Classic classic illiberalism. And because they embrace the whole LGBTQ nonsense. They people just they're taking their money elsewhere. And then Jaguar has gone

bud light two point zero. As Fox Business put it, the auto manufacturer Jaguar, I mean, Jaguars are cool, you driver, jag Man. Come on now, they went through a period of time where they made junk. But Jags are cool. All Jags are really cool. But anyway, they've gone to an advertising campaign using adrogynist models and that means are they male or are they female? That's the idea. They don't want you to know. What in the world. Who do you think is buying a Jag? Give me a break?

Forty one past the hour. Those are your big stories if that's what they are. Oh, the fun doesn't stop here.

Keyword Preston Putty two past the hour. Speaking of intolerance, I mentioned the Southern Poverty Law Center is just a poster child for it. And they can step aside and make room on the podium for these folks. Democrats check this out. First of all, good news, the Republicans snagged another seat in the House, so they're up to two nineteen. That's an important distinction. That added seat matters. They flipped the seat, expanding their majority in Alaska. It's kind of interesting.

Republican Nick Begich got the win, so the GOP House expanded its majority. But I want to tell a story the state legislature in California. Now, this is just a wonderful classic example for you. All Republicans flipped a state seat where there was a fourteen point Democrat advantage in registration. Republicans won the seat. Here's another interesting fact. That district is nearly sixty percent Hispanic. The Republican Jeff Gonzalez beat out joey Akunya to replace Eduardo Garcia. So a Republican

beat a Democrat. A Republican Hispanic beat a Democrat Hispanic in a district with a fourteen point edge for Democrats. I'm not done. Here's where the story gets weird. He is not allowed to be part of the Latino Caucus of the State Assembly. Jeff, by the way, at Marine Corpsvette cannot join the Latino Caucus despite being Latino and representing a Latino district. Honestly, if I were Representative Gonzalez

or assemblyman Gonzalez. I would send them flowers weekly, I would thank them, and then I would go around my district and I would go around my state as time permitted, and I would scream it from the rooftops that I a Latino and prohibited from being part of the Latino Caucus representing a sixty percent Latino district because I'm a Republican.

This is just glorious. See, these are the gifts that the Democrats and these haters, these Dems have lived with this phony, fake label of being the tent, the big tent party. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you don't subscribe to every part of what they think to borrow from sid the sloth from the movie Ice Age, you're out of the height. They kick you into the curb. You're done. If you're black and conservative, you'll not be

part of the Black Congressional Caucus. They will not have you. If you're Latino and a Republican in California, the Latino Caucus is not for you. So you go ahead and tell me about that big party tent that the Democrats have cause I'm telling you right now, they check id's and those IDs have to be this this this this, and this, and you're allowed in. If you're not, you're out. And in that funny, how ironic, you have to have

certain IDs to make it into their party. I figured this was as good a place as any for this. CNN reporting an Italian village offering one dollar homes to Americans upset by the US election result. Rural Italy all Alai al Alai Italy. It's long been trying to persuade outsiders to move to revive its fortunes after decades of depopulation, been selling its dilapidated houses for as little as one euro.

Just over a buck sweetened the deal. Now, following the November fifth vote, it's launched a website trying to get people to move there. Who I think some of us would buy airline tickets for them. Could you imagine what that town would be like, a bunch of sour patch, disgruntled, entitled, elitist illiberals in a little town in Italy. Oh, sweet goodness, that would be. I would put cameras on every corner just to record everything and turn it into a TV show.

I don't know what the website is, I don't really care, but that would just be absolutely awesome if it worked. That's something to keep an eye on.

Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. The back of the program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less. Our big story today in the press box. The Southern Poverty Law Center doing what it does, discrediting itself. It's just a shameful organization of hate and bitterness and intolerance. And it's so funny because they try to call out they they've

attacked Liberty Council. They consider Liberty Counsel fighting for the rights of Americans and Christians, to be a hate organization.

Speaker 1

The Liberty Council anyway. Seth Dylon of Not the Bee and the Babylon Bee is fighting back. That's good. Had a good visit with Steve Stewart of Tell As Your Reports. Talked about Thanksgiving meal dos and don'ts for your pets from doctor Steah Steveson and our Pause for Thought. Talk to doctor Ed Moore, Little History eighteen eighties. We got through one year, one year of one decade. More to

come next month. Talked about Lake and Riley's murderer. He's going to spend life in prison, he should have been given the death penalty. We detailed what Lake and Riley went through and how premeditated and evil this man is. And he's a member of the Venezuelan gang Trendy are our guas, And that's why you need to hold democrats account. If you're a Democrat and you're not upset about what's happened because of the invasion of our borders, shame on you.

And you got to live with yourself tomorrow. It's Friday. You know what that means. See then,
