I wanted to take my time. He's on in here cause just a moment of oh nada. It's all right, kiddos. I'm looking at one of the great Christmas sweaters in the history of Christmas sweaters. Oh sweet God. Oh we're back friends. Uh. Five more shows in the year before the Twelve Days of Presston began. No, you don't. It's actually got a pouch in front of it. All right, I might have to post that on on X. We might have to. We might have to put that sweater
on there. Yeah. Jose Is is standing by in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B. I'm Preston. Welcome friends, back to the live edition of The Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty two eighty six, thirty nine days. Friends, we are now thirty nine days away from freedom, well sort of right there. There's there's lots to still deal with and then there're those those drones. But anyway, good to be back with you. I'll tell you about my reason for being gone tomorrow on the show.
Is too much today, a lot of guests, a lot of things to talk about. But as always, we start with scripture Galatians four verses four and five say this, but when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. You know, an, there's an interesting little idea on adoption that I heard years ago. In many regards, adoption is a remarkable process where a
son or daughter is chosen. Just think about that for a second. Our kids, they are our blood. But when families, for whatever the reason, maybe they cannot have biological children, or maybe they just feel as though they're being tapped on the shoulder to love children who do not have a mother and father. There are people that are called that way. They just are. And now think about it. You're choosing, I'm going to love you. I'm going to raise you as my son or my daughter, my family.
I'm choosing you. Think of these words again, so that we might receive adoption. God has made it possible and has chosen you. The difference here is that you have to be willing to allow that adoption. You have to receive it. It's up to you. So if you've never considered that and you're staring at a Christmas, still trying to figure out what's the big deal. Well, friends, that's
a good place to start. Allowing the adoption ten past the hour Thursday, December twelfth, couple days in the week, will do the shows together then next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Cannot wait. Good to be back with you. This morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Humble House. We're getting some very powerful notes from Humble House from some of you that are choosing to support them and your reason forgiving, and it's really heartwarming. I have no idea
how much has been raised. I'll hopefully get some kind of number on Friday, but it ends on Wednesday. Our efforts and now, obviously you can support Humblehouseministries dot org every month any time you want. Part of this plan was to just let you know it's out there if you have not heard, we're Our Spirit of Christmas project this year is for Humblehouseministries dot org. They have a home for women that are fighting addictions for recovery and
the success rate is incredible. I've seen it. They have a home in Tallahassee, they have one in panelas City and they also offer transitional housing for women and their children if needed. And again that's a need, it's a dramatic need. And so if you can help, boy, I'd love to see you do it. Join me in that effort. My wife and I have given to both locations and challenge you to do the same. And you can just go to Humble House minutes dot org and click either
Panama City or Tallahassee or you can do both. And like I said, you can do a one time gift, whatever you can. You can do monthly if you want to join and become a partner. And if you want to put a note, you know, dedication on Panama City or comment in the wa in the Tallahassee area, just put WFLA in there and they'll know that it's as a result of what we're doing here that you became aware of their program. And I'll make this plea again. We're at the end of the tax here. Come on.
That's it's a reality. And for many of your businesses and for you personally, you've had a really good year. Your business is prospered. And I'm just gonna tell you what you probably know, or maybe you haven't thought of it this way. You're you're blessing you're prospering. That's that's God's favor, and so it's an opportunity for you to pass on and share what God's blessed you with. And so I'm just saying, and maybe you can spare a grand or maybe twenty five hundred or five thousand or
even ten. You might have a big business and it's nothing for you to send that money on to help others. Boy, ten bucks makes a difference to these folks. So I would greatly appreciate you, just perfelly, considering the opportunity to give. And so there you go. It's December twelfth here on the program. Seventeen eighty seven, Pennsylvania becomes the second state to ratify the Constitution. Eighteen oh eight, the first Bible Society in the United States is organized in Philadelphia. They
still needed eighteen thirty one. Alexis dit Dukville crosses the Tennessee River en route from Louisville to Memphis. During his journey through America, he wanted to see America. He wanted to do experience what America was all about. Tolkville impactful, influential in this country. Joseph Rainey of South Carolina sworn in as the first black member of the US House in eighteen seventy and in nineteen twenty five, the world's first motel, the Motel Inn, opens in San Luis Obispo, California.
So there you go, this date in history. All right, let me tell you about the show. We got Steve Stewart. Of course, I'm focusing on just a handful of stories today because quite frankly, boy, a lot happened while I was out. Now Grant might have touched on some of this Monday, I'll be honest with you, didn't hear much of the show Monday, just a little bit. But yeah, we're gonna catch up on some stuff. So stick around
sixteen past the hour it is us. Doctor had More scheduled to join us in the third hour, final installment of a Little More History for the Year. Doctor David Hearts will join us next hour final installment of Optimum Health Naturally for the year, and Steve Stewart will join us with our final kind of a look at what were the big stories of the year in Florida's capital city. And so it will be our final visit with Steve
for the year. We are back next Monday. We're here today and tomorrow back Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week, and so a lot to get done and talked about, which course means tomorrow is our fire episode of What's the Beef for the year. I'm just saying, get it out of your system tomorrow or you're gonna be holding onto it for a long time. Okay, I think let's see. I think like the tenth of January is our next What's the Beef? So yeah, you definitely wanta wanna get
that taken care of. How have you been seeing the stories of NFL players homes being robbed? Here's what's happening, and if you will, it's the price of a certain level of notoriety. You might have seen Pat mahomes and I want to say, Travis Kelce they got their homes burglarized to the extent we're talking about like they think it was an organized cartel kind of thing, very targeted, organized plan. They think internationals. But NFL players are being targeted.
Why because when they're out of town, you see them on TV. They know they're not there. And so the latest was Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals. Now Joe went a little different route. He had a little security. Unfortunately, his security was a swimsuit model from Sports Illustrated little girl named Olivia Ponton. He hired her. They know each other. He hired her to house sit and to guard his residence.
So when she showed up, she found out it had already been robbed burglarized if you will, technically that would be burglarized. So what did she do? Be in the swimsuit model that she is, she got right on the phone and called her mom. She called her mom. Her mom called nine one one, and so the look no one was hurt, stuff was taken. Some of the comments on social media are priceless. Who needs ring security cameras when you can have a SI model protect your home.
She is a IMG model and influencer. Oh my, she did eventually call nine one one, Her mom called nine one one. I'm just if you're at that level of stardom. First, I'm trying to understand how you're not in a gated community.
And I'm not talking about the gated community where it's just an automated thing that anyone can push a button and get in, or anyone can claim they're delivering a pizza and can get in I'm talking about a real gated community where there are armed guards at gates type community and barring that, how is it that you don't have like a former Navy seal at your home? You know what I'm saying. Anyway, feel bad, it's a problem. See what happens to address it. Twenty six past the hour.
The big stories in the press box are massive. Stay with us, look at me on time. Thirty five past the hour. Whoo Spike in the football speaking of Boston College quarterback has apparently committed to come to Florida State. He made our life miserable when he played for BC. Is it Thomas Castellanos. He's only got a year of eligibility. I would have preferred us to go after the kid from Duke, but maybe we're not going to. We couldn't get him. He's got two years left. But gust Malzon
knows him. Yeah, he's he can run and throw. He's a short guy. He's a little fellow. But that's what they said about Jordan Travis too, right. But anyway, there boy, talk about a transformation. Mike Norvell said, this is going to happen quick. He wasn't kidd. He's got a completely different coaching staff, and uh, it's going to be interesting to watch this unfold. We'll see what happens. I'm sure sometime in the new year, after the smoke clears a
little bit, we'll get Irisha Fell back on him. Haven't give us our thoughts the big stories in the press box. We're gonna take a little time here and spread across a couple of segments so we know who the killer is of the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian tom He will be unnamed on this program. We will not use this name. However, I will use a couple of names. But before I get to that, I am just I'm not sure I'm understanding how he's being charged with second
degree murder. He committed a crime that is worthy of of capital punishment. Now I don't know if New York allows it, they probably don't, But how is that not first degree murder? It was one hundred percent premeditated allegedly. Now, I mean, the evidence is overwhelming, This case is over You might say to yourself, why do they plead not guilty when there is so much evidence? Well, I'll tell you why. And this is what defense attorneys have told
me directly. You plead not guilty to get the best possible outcome for your client, because the not guilty establishes the other end of the spectrum, so that now the negotiation begins for sentencing. But I cannot, in my mind understand second degree. This is as clear cut a case of premeditated, planned out first degree murder as I've ever seen. And again I'm going to remind you I did serve as a grand juror on capital murder cases for six months.
I heard evidence in cases for six months, multiple cases, one after another after another after another. I had to see the video, evidence, the photos, all of that stuff. One name I want to use is I want to use the name of professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She posts under the name the Soviet She's professor Julia Alexeyeva,
self described socialist anti fascist. For those of you that want to know, an anti fascist is somebody who hates people that oppose socialism at the people on the left consider you and I to be fascist because we oppose them. You're a fascist because you opposed them. She posted, She's never been more proud to be a professor at the University of Pennsylvania than to learn that one of their former students assassinated. This guy never been more proud, she replos.
Replaced the E in Pennsylvania with the number three, which is an interesting post. Another name I want you to keep in mind is the name Anthony Zenkis. He's a senior lecturer at social work at Columbia University. He seemed to not be very upset. Taylor Lorenz, former Washington Post reporter, said that it brought her joy. The assassination Elizabeth Warren, US Senator, seems to be suggesting that the shooting and
the killing was justified. So Focahontas herself is shaming the not just the people of Massachusetts, but the United States. It she should be censured for these comments. What I wanted to point out to you is, regardless of whatever his manifesto says, he has one there are stories floating around that he's sexually impotent because of a surgery that
went bad on his back. I don't know, I don't know, but he certainly has a flashing anger now, doesn't he He's not getting the reaction he thought he would get. He's a very arrogant young man. But what I want to point out to you parents. Is this is what can happen at many colleges and universities across this country. They are in doctrination centers. There's no doubt in my mind. Keep in mind, this kid's wealth through his family came
largely through the healthcare industry. He had no problem accepting the private education, had no problem excepting going to an Ivy League school. He wanted to be a unibomber. He wanted to be Trust me, I think we're going to find out he planned on killing other people. Forty one minutes past the hour. There's more to come. Daniel Penny acquitted,
not guilty, not guilty. I feel badly for Jordan Neely, and I feel real badly that his father, his family's hurting over his loss, as you would expect, But I'm also I'm puzzled. Where were the interventions for their son, who clearly had mental illness and was living on the streets. The families all upset. I get upset that your son died, But where was the anger and upset and where was the motivation to help him? And then the reaction of the typical noise that you hear when these kinds of
verdicts come down from the alleged BLM groups. It's just so predictable, and it's so nauseating, and it's so hateful, and it's so divisive, and it's just it's ugly. It really is. Jerry said, he's not responsible. Daniel Penny is not responsible for the death of this man. This man was responsible for what happened to him and what I
really loved. I picked out the comments here in a pretty lengthy story by NBC News of Dante Mills, the lawyer representing the family, and the family, by the way, has filed a lawsuit of civil suit against Daniel Penny. So it's never going to end, it's going to keep going on. He had a muffin in his pocket. Jordan wanted someone to acknowledge him on the train, but instead he was choked to death. What an obscene comment that is.
Jordan Neely went on that train, that subway and threatened everybody, stating that someone was going to die today. He just wanted someone to acknowledge him. No, sir, your client's family member, your clients needed to acknowledge him. The people on board that subway who testified were scared to death. One man did something about it. Unfortunately, because of a lot of things that were going on in that guy's life, his physical body, his medical condition, the drugs he was on.
It ended poorly for him. But my goodness, we're still not done with the big stories. More to come here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. Thanks for listening. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, before we push into some more big stories. That's how many big stories there are. Quick reminder, Humblehouseministries dot org we could use your gift to help out in Panama City and in Tallahassee, two separate homes helping
women overcome addictions, helping women with transitional housing. They do an incredible work and I'm asking you to step up and help them. We've got five seven more days if you include the weekend to raise funds for them as we try to raise awareness as well. That's Humblehouseministries dot org. Click to donate and pick either Panama City or Tallahassee
or both, and we would appreciate it very much. Joe Biden's out there touting that Donald Trump is going to inherit the strongest economy in the world, Jose's laughing out loud. Layoffs in the United States surged last month, nearly sixty thousand job cuts announced economic pressures on manufacturing automotive technology sectors. In fact, it's the fourth worst November since two thousand and eight. Two thousand and nine, that was the financial crisis,
the near depression that hit this country. Yeah, that's what marks one of the strongest economies in the world right there. Of course, depending on what part of the world you're comparing it to, I suppose there could be some accuracy to the statement. It's embarrassing. The Trump factor is already taking hold. I told you going in though, he was coming back to a house that had been squatted in for four years and has been destroyed. And I warned you on the front end that recovery from this is
not going to be easy. And I'm not sure that the American people have the stomach for what's going to have to happen to fix it. So Trump and his advisors, his team, the members of the House and the Senate, they better buckle up and be smart about how they do what they do to fix this. I don't know if you've ever watched any of the Home renovation shows. But when you've got the interior walls that are rotted out,
termites of destroyed, it 're in this case squatters. What you have to do is you build a temporary wall. You build temporary walls, and then you knock out everything else. You hold the roof up with the temporary walls. It supports all the weight, all the structure, everything of the house. You knock out all the crap, all the walls that are rotted and destroyed, and then you start rebuilding, so the temporary walls have to go up. But I'm a little alarmed by what I'm seeing going on around us
right now. For example, did you see that there are three hundred and twenty three vials of deadly virus samples that have suddenly gone missing in Australia at a lab. We're talking about infectious viruses from the Queensland Public Health Virology Laboratory. They went missing in August of twenty twenty three and we're just learning about it. And then, have you been paying attention to the drone story in New Jersey? The size of a truck these things and no one
knows where they're coming from. Let me tell you something. If I'm the US government, I'm shooting it down. If I'm Philadelphia, Philadelphia, New Jersey's governor, I'm having it shot down. Then we'll find out who owns it, won't we because they'll scream very loudly. There you go, that's what you do. Time for the second hour and Steve Stewart parting is such sweet sorrow. It's our final visit of the year with Steve Stewart of Tallassi Reports. Of course he's the
executive editor. It's Tallassi Reports dot com. That is the website. And Stephen, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you, Happy holidays, all those good things you get, all right, Yes, well it's every day something new. So last night, before we get to just and maybe the final segment, we'll just kind of take a quick little swipe at what the biggest stories were for the year for the community. But boy, last night the City Commission meeting, there was a packed house. Huh And I was there.
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's again this is You've got such a diverse group and there's no Republicans. That is still a very diverse group on the City Commission. Sure, a lot of diverse issues. You never know what's going to happen to these meetings. I showed up to sit in the corner by myself, you know, and sort of watch the meeting. And I get there and it's just packed number of issues.
You know.
The Cystem's Police Review Board is going to be repealed, and they had what they do is they announced that they're going to have a public hearing in the next meeting, and so it gives you two bites of the apples. So the next meeting you'll be able to actually have a public hearing where more people will probably.
Be there to speak out.
And the Police Review Board has a i would say a sword history here, you know, past. Yes, and it's something that I supported when I ran for office, you know. And the point being this is that there's there's no there's no problem with having critical overview of things that happened and actually working in tandem with law enforcement. Right public safety the number one priority of local government. But never in my wildest imagination that I think that if you had a board that it would go off the
rails so fast and so consistently. And that's what happened, you know, after the Summer of Social Justice Citizens Police Board was put in place. Every city commissioner had one appointment, and the progressives appointed people who wanted to defund the police. And it just didn't work. I mean, it was antagonistic. You had people calling police officers mergers.
You didn't have anything coming of it that enhanced public safety. It did not. They were they weren't working with law enforcement.
And listen, you can work with anybody and be critical and ask tough questions. But when you start calling, you know, when you're there to you know, defund the police and to go after them at every turn, you know, it just doesn't work. And so finally they suspended the CPRB.
Then the state of Florida got into the act because they saw this as an entry point for these left wing extreme people to get into, you know, into sort of mess up operations at local governments, and so they passed a law and basically it's going to result in the repeal of these ordinances that support that put in place citizens police Review Boards, and it's already happened in Tampa and Miami.
They're they're done, Steve, And didn't that opinion to repeal the existing board come from city staff and the city attorney? Oh?
Yes, they explained last night the rationale and then they gave the examples. There was even some court decisions in Miami. But yeah, it's gonna happen. And the thing is, it's like, look, you had your opportunity, we had citizens Police Review Board, and like a child, you couldn't handle the responsibility.
Yeah, and it continues last night. And this just irks me to no end.
Is the president of the Tallase Community Action Community, which has become a you know, authority, void an authority or a voice on all things police, a voice not an authority.
Yeah.
Well they're quoted in the you know, they get quoted in mainstream media. And I was there to watch because you know, when you watch a press conference and then you go read what is written about it, if you're actually there, you know what sleft.
So I was there, and she got up and.
Called TPD officers murderers and said they planted evidence in the Kylie Calvin Riley case, which is all.
The union needs to sue them.
But anyway, and so you read the you read the article on the mainstream media this morning and it just says the president of you know, TEAKAG said she disagreed with the move to cancel. The CPRB did not that's not what she says, that's not what she's Well, she did say that, but she said other things that really reflect on what her view is. But they don't they don't report that, and so we'll get it out there. But it's uh so anyway, the vote was for one,
which surprised me. Now Commission Mattelowe voted to move to the public hearing. He he made it clear he was against repealing the ordinance, so it was sort of a technical vote.
Okay, interesting, Yes, so the final vote will likely be three two. Oh, definitely Okay. Were to come with Steve Stewart about the meeting last night on the Morning Shaw with Preston Scott Begar. Steve Stewart of Tellasson Reports was a con vetitor last night at the City Commission meeting, not just the Police Review Board under a vote. There was also a preliminary vote dealing with zoning.
Yeah, there's obviously a lot of zoning issues as people try to you know, there's more growth in the northeast.
And actually the east where people want to.
Live, and so we see things happening all over the place of get Veldadairy extension which has taken form. And there's an area between Vealddarry and Kerry Forest which was owned by the Lutheran Church and there's amount of land there the Lutheran Church wants to sell some of it for commercial development to help.
Their church fund building exactly.
And so again that area was deemed protect it because with Canopy Road forty fifty years ago, when Thomasville Road was two lanes, it's amazing I remember that.
You probably remember it too, do too.
Yeah, So anyway, it's not now the six lane road, and there's some residents there that are upset that it's going to have an impact on that area. And so, you know, we've talked about this property rights. They really it's the commission voted three to two. Again as you have the progressives who look for any moment you or
any any situation to divide the community. Instead of saying, look, you know this is you know these this group has property rights to sell the property they own and this you know, unless you want to buy it and you can bid, you can bid. And instead of doing that, they vote against it and tell them that the city commissions corrupt and the developers that are developing are corrupt. And the truth is, if they've city voted against it,
they'd be sued. State would overturn it because of property rights, and this stuff happens, you know, it happens because when you bry property, you don't get you don't get the guarantee that there's nothing going to happen around you. Now, what the local government is required to do is to mitigate and regulate what a development looks like, and they can put in buffers and require certain certain things. So anyway, that was the vote three two. There'll be another hearing on that also.
Okay, so but an interesting debate. But that's a simple property rights issue. And if you want to keep a buffer zone around your lot at wherever you live, you buy it.
No.
And it's the same when you look at the entrance of Clarna States.
We talked about that there's two acres on each side that is owned by the homeowner association. So if that was going to be developed, it would have to be sold by the members of the homewn association, and if they sold it, then there would be violence.
Right by the people that voted them in.
We go back to the Circle K and Canopy development, where there was an issue. Guess how they result that the city decided that this was a bad situation and they're going to try to buy the land. So, I mean, that's our process, it's the way it operates. And so anyway, Children's Service Council. Yes, there's a big story developing here. One thing that I am going to promise your listeners
from from now on and we've covered it some. This is a maturing bureaucracy that is now matured, okay, and we will be covering the siltan services.
It's amazing how many millions of dollars now out of the public coffers will do to mature or something exactly.
And this is you know, I get the question, well who do they report to? Well, this is a separate entity. They're separate from the city and the county. They're a it's a ten member governing council. DeSantis appoints five and the other five come from unelected people that can levy tax right. And so now they've they've been operating. They've got an executive director who's been there since twenty twenty one. She signed initial contract and now it's up for renewal
two year contracts. She's making one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars a year.
I watched the meeting.
Executive Committee, which was three of the council members, did a performance evaluation review.
The performance evaluation.
Which is she got meets or exceeds expectations on all her five categories, but it is lower than it was last year. And so they discussed that. But she's asking for a pay raise and a car allowance of about three hundred dollars a month, and so the Executive Committee, after a discussion decided, who is she traveling? Well, that was a discussion. They're gonna she's gonna follow policy. They're gonna recommend that she follow policy and just get recovered.
Mileage that she that is related to her job.
And then she obviously you can if you go to conferences or whatever that are relevant, you can expense that. So anyway, the car allowance got kicked out pretty early. The pay raise was a little more contentious among the three executive committee members. The chair, Darryl Jones wanted to give her a raise. The Treasurer Paul Mitchell, and the vice chair mister Watts, I don't remember his first name,
were against it. They recommended no pay raise and the reason why she's making one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars, but they're treating the position as a senior management position like state government. She gets a forty thousand dollars donation to her retirement benefit retirement account every year as part of her package, and she has the highest level of
health insurance, which again costs taxpayers forty thousand dollars. So mister Mitchell noted that the package is over two hundred thousand dollars, which is is a lot, and so they recommended to the full Council not to chain to you know, contract just as the current salary. They will vote, I think December nineteenth they'll have a meeting and then move forward with that. But yeah, this is a lot of money slushing around and it's time to figure out exactly where it's all going.
It would be lovely to know what it's all doing.
Well, you know again, part of the thing that I don't like is the is the accountability is that hey, we spent this much money and on this nonprofit who said that they you know, allowed thirty more kids to attend. I mean that that type of accountability is not what I'm looking for I'm looking more for moving needle. You know, yes, what independence that problem is being solved. What independent statistics do we see, like, for example, the city of Town,
I see they spent more money on law enforcement. So we're looking at the crimes every day and we actually are seeing them going down. Now you could argue it's not completely because of that, but I.
Mean there's some correlation, some correlation, all right, More to come with Steve Stewart seventeen past the Hour, twenty two, almost twenty three minutes now past the hour, just a few minutes left in our season here on the Morning Show with Steve Stewart. I just had your mic turned down because I was setting up the and I know how I can interrupted you. Well, I know how you go. Now, I just I tend to just say, go, is there. I'm going to put this in a little bit of
a different context, a little different framing. Is there a bigger story for the year than that moderate slash traditional liberal Democrats held the progressives at bay in city Hall?
So when you look at the biggest story last year, I would say, no, I look at what we've covered. We cover local governments, so that's that's what you want to look at and that is the one that dominated the headlines, and it was up and down on where it was headed. If you look at the business world, I mean, Amazon was sort of last year, but it's.
Still having an impact.
But yeah, but I would say from that perspective, it's it's huge because it has not you know, from the national implications of looking at some of these other cities were the progressives have taken over. You know, the traditional
Democrats had to fight this. And you know what was interesting at the end is to see some of the mainstream media finally open their eyes because you know what happened at the end when when Curtis Richardson was able to defeat dot Mon Johnson, which was more than defeating dot M and Johnson, I mean, and it was basically Northeast tile has He that did it. The progressive movement, you could tell, was all in thinking that they were
going to control local government. And again you say, well, what were they going to control, Well, it's a billion dollar organization controlled by three people, you know, and you've got an electric utility, which is from a progressive standpoint, controls a lot of things that can be done to promote their ideology, and so that that is the biggest story.
But I think I think along with that is is that I think the media finally saw that the progressive immunion community progressive movement here is not honest with the voters, and they started to report on that, and I think that's something that they're going to that I think they are concerned about now.
As you saw Commission.
Mallow called Talis a Democrat, a right wing operation, you know, deleted his accounts on x formerly known as Twitter and moved to Blue Sky. So you know, it's going to be interesting to see where this goes. But it's important the devoters because I understand this, voters are interested in national stories, state stories, but it's important that the voters continue to understand what was at stake locally because it really can impact you.
Well, let me let me then ask this as a follow up. If that's story a right, the biggest what's a bigger story that crime is down in the community as a result of a little bit more funding and not so much anti police rhetoric, or that the mainstream legacy media outlets electronic and print in this town still aren't really doing their job. Because even though you mentioned
this awareness of the progressive wing. You just cited this morning a lack of coverage of what was specifically said at a commission meeting, right, And I think that is the issue on crime.
And what happens is as we do the numbers and look at them is you start seeing comments on our stories that people who are getting the national narrative in one year and they've got to take the time because we're we're being some of people are criticizing our stats and saying, you know, crime's not down in Tallahassee, and this is where you get to the nuance where you've really got to look at it.
You're right, shootings are still an issue. Yeah, okay, and they but they're usually black on black crime where the victim knows the perpetrator, domestic violence, drug deal's gone bad, the nuts and bolts crime that with that affect major quality of your quality of life is down. Now, can we spend more time trying to look at the nuances of that and where it happens across town. Yeah, and we'll try to do that, But that is another you know, it's a perfect example. I think this next.
Year is we're going to try We're going to see where the media goes with this, because you're right, they're not reporting you would be You would be challenged to find a report that shows that that violent crime is down compared to twenty twenty three and twenty twenty two in the city Taalacy. I don't think you would find it other than talents reports. Thanks for what you do, Thank you enjoyed it. Look forward to a very another great year.
It'll be a robust one. Robust I like that. Yeah, twenty five past twenty seven past the hour. As we move on here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, all right, we're not going very deep. We'll go a little deeper next hour as we did in the first hour, but just to reset the big stories in the press box. What the heck's going on over the sky's in New Jersey? How is it possible they don't know the origin of drones that are allegedly the size of a truck. This
is a this is significantly dangerous. This is a problem. Shoot one down and you'll hear from somebody, trust me, not just take it down. It's it. Send a helicopter, Sheriff's department follow it. It's going to land. Somewhere can't stay up indefinitely. Daniel Penny was found not guilty all of the typical voices screaming and whining. As a result, I'm wondering where has the family been that's so upset right now over the death of Jordan Neely and the
acquittal of Daniel Penny. Where were they while their son, their nephew was on the streets dealing with a host of mental health issues. And I'm not suggesting they could have stopped it. I'm merely pointing out, where have you been? You didn't seem to care a whole lot about him, then, doesn't seem to be any evidence of your efforts to try to help him. And if there had been a bunch of efforts and they failed, well it he was mentally unstable and a danger to himself and others, and
that's what put him in that spot. He threatened. He wasn't seeking to be heard, as his family's attorney said, he threatened people saying someone's going to die. Socialist University of Pennsylvania professor has gone silent on social media, hiding a bunch of her accounts because she an avowed socialist. By the way, said she had never been so proud then to learn that a graduate of her school was responsible for the murder of the CEO of United Healthcare.
I've opined that I believe that he was planning to kill others, which is evidenced by the amount of evidence they found. I mean, he still had the gun, he still had the suppressor, he had multiple fake IDs had he had cash, foreign cash, he had eight thousand dollars. He was planning to do this again, There's no doubt in my mind, second degree murder. Are you kidding me? He was triggered by something largely his indoctrination at an
ivy League school. There I said it. And oh, by the way, the popularization of another serial killer, which is a screed and a long standing rant I'll get into at some point. Deadly virus samples went missing from from a lab. In fact, three hundred and twenty three vials of multiple infectious viruses disappeared from a lab in Australia in twenty twenty three, and we're just learning about it. That's a little problematic, don't you think, I mean, isn't
that just a little alarming? How about you let us know that, Oh, I don't know a day later, not like a year and three months later, just saying you know, it's just me. You know, it's accountability and all that. Forty minutes past the hour, come back with some optimum health, naturally, little optimum health, naturally joining me. Doctor David Heart's good morning, sir, how are you hello? Huh uh. He's got a call back in something went wrong when he got put on hold.
He got disconnected. So we're going to try it again here and take two. Doctor David Harts.
Hello, sir, Hey, good morning. We lost her for a second.
Yeah, so you sent me a note yesterday and I replied with the word ouch.
Well yeah, there's a lot of studies. Just another one came out just recently. It got my attention back on this, which when you work in functional medsine, stuff that's on your attention all the time. But United States as of nineteen even twenty nineteen actually decreased in this overall life expectancy compared to the rest of the world. And we did that for a couple of years, and since then it's gone up very little. Course COVID hasn't helped it. But and when we look at ourselves compared to the
rest of the world. Of course, this is getting a lot of recently with RFK and so forth. But I know I've been screaming this for Bobby thirty five forty years, that we're not We're really behind the rest of the world tremendously. We're actually forty eighth on the world list for overall health even though we spend twice as much per person than major you know, industrial countries throughout the world on our healthcare. And this is just really unbelievably ridiculous,
and we got to do something different. I mean, there's almost one hundred and thirty three million Americans that are living with at least one chronic disease. And what I think everybody's going to realize is that this affects, you know, our quality of life tremendously as far especially how we end up spending our last years. What's happening is more and more people are living there last years with hoses and tubes coming out of them, rather than enjoying full
life in America. And it's because of a number of different reasons. I think it's one reason is that we're trying to rely upon a healthcare system that's very chronic air orient and we're just not looking at chronic disease. And I'm really very excited to see this is actually getting more traction lately. And I've been screaming this for both parties for years and years to get on this, and it's so important because the answer is not really
creating more drugs, which they're this fine. It's not the problems that we don't have enough availability of drugs. It's how we're doing our healthcare. We're not going after trying to find out what produces wellness. We're not trying to establish healthy people. We're waiting for people to get very sick and then we're using procedures that are much more economically advantageous to treat sick people instead of trying to maintain a healthy population. And it's not working in America
at all. And if we don't change this, it's projected right now that we're going to get by two thousand and thirty five, we're going to be almost like eightieth in the world. It's not going to get better, it's going to get worse. And so I'm really excited about seeing some changes. It has to happen in the healthcare system itself, but it has to also happen in our
individual lives. We've got to start taking control of our own health and start doing stuff and using technologies and things that actually help us get healthy, because the system the way it is right now, really is not set up to do that. It's set up to wait for you to get sick and they and try to save you at that point, which I do a really good job with crisis care. I'm not arguing with that. They really do a great job there, and it's just not
trying to find out underlying causes of disease. And that's guess why, Preston, We've been doing this for so many years, is trying to get that information out.
Yeah, I was just going to say you could trace the extreme cost, doctor Hartz, I am guessing to the fact that to summarize sort of what you've been sharing, we are in reactive mode versus proactive mode. Proactive is always less ex expensive, less intrusive, less problematic than reactive.
That's exactly right. It's just it's it's less profitable. So you have to have something that kind of you have to educate the population and to be able to do this themselves, because there really is not an economic engine for it to motivate it, and so but it's really really really important.
Well you know what you say that, But I've got to believe that there's a there's there's industries out there that for people that are health conscious are probably doing pretty well for those that are focused on that, and so it can be profitable for the business, you know, community to invest in things that are more proactive to help people. And I feel like we're seeing some of that.
Well, I think you're right when it comes down to the individual consumer. I'm just talking about the medical system.
Oh yeah, that's you're right driving it there.
But there is a lot and that's what's happening is people are coming up and just taking control of itself and that there's a whole industre that's developed around that.
You're right, Doctor Hearts. As always, thank you so very much. Look forward to our visits starting in January. Thank you, sir for your time this year.
You're welcome and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you sir and your family. Thank you, Doctor David Harts with us and again our final segment of the year with doctor Herts. He'll be back with us beginning in January for more optimum health. Naturally here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Oh, by the way, what other thing happened while we were gone. Basher Asad got run out of Syria. Now he has taken refuge
in Russia. Of course, my wife and I were discussing this on our roadie, and I'm just thinking to myself, so what does a deposed dictator do for a living? I mean, does he apply for any jobs open at the Kremlin? What does Vladimir Putin do with a despot who, by the way, is a mass murderer. Yeah, he'll fit right in with Russia. But what do you do with the guy? What do you do with his family, his aides?
You know it? Syria is a classic example for anybody out there saying, well, there's hope, you know, Israel's out there hoping for something better to happen in Syria. Don't hold your breath. The people that deposed Asad are probably not looking to hold free and open elections. They want they want a caliphate, they want a old school Islamic nation, that's my guess. Now, you know, we'll see right now, it's kind of like the in feeding that we've watched
here locally in Tallahassee of the Democrat party. You know you've got, you've got, islamis taken on islamis just like, yeah, Democrats feeding on Democrats here. I mean, they're just feeding on each other right now. And so it'll be interesting to see what happens. They were wanting to release all these political prisoners that they felt were being held in these underground cells, yes, underground cells, and they went down to freedom. They're all gone. There's potentially thousands of missing
people now, more than likely. Consider Basher Assad killed five hundred thousand of his own people, a lot of children. He gassed them, chemical warfare on his own people. They changed the constitution for the guy to take control. He was thirty four, he was supposed to be forty, so they changed the constitution. Yeah, sure, you're you're you're what is it? Hamza Assad was that his dad can't remember all of a sudden. But but Basher's like, I mean, he's he's he's not well, he's sick, and I mean
the head. So now the guys who deposed him are looking around for all their family members and friends and political dissidents, and they're gone. They don't know. They probably were killed immediately. That's why there's nobody in those underground cells. Anyway, It'll be interesting to see what happens in Syria. Just just keep your eyes on that, all right. Humblehouse Ministries dot org raising funds Tallahassee, Panama City, two different locations
and support either or both. Just go to Humblehouseministries dot org and click donate to either of the locations or again both and do the best you can and make a dedication WFLA or in the comments WFLA, and that way they can note that it's part of our effort to try to help them out. All right, Humblehouseministries dot org, do the best you can. We're in our final seven days of raising funds for them, all right, when we
come back. Scheduled to join us, Doctor Ed Moore, a little more history on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, here we go, second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Scheduled, Doctor Ed, you noticed this morning? Did you notice? I said scheduled Because I after eight thousand some odd interviews and fifty two hundred plus shows, you just get a feeling sometimes and I just I had a feeling that it might have slipped his schedule.
And so that's okay. We're hopefully Ed's doing fine and well, but just forgot and so well, we will move along. I'm curious now this story in New Jersey about these drones. You've got state senators, now, you've got US senators saying what's going on up there? And nobody seems to know or at least nobody is saying anything about it. Why Now, what's starting to come out is these drones are too large,
it's too well organized. And I'll be honest with you, I don't believe anybody that says you can't shoot them down. I don't believe that. I don't belie that's accurate. First of all, drones, in case you didn't know, especially drones that size, those are supposedly regulated by the FAA. You can't just fly them over anything. The Department of Defense surely has the ability to monitor these things. So, with the fun taken out of my question, what is going
on here? These aren't UFOs. These are drones. They're flying in very specific places, and no one is owning up to owning them having them flying them. That in and of itself. Is that's not just a red flag, that's multiple red flags with flashing lights and beacons and the current remember Trump's not in office. There just seems to be a lot of stuff happening here right now that is not just weird, but it just reeks of something else,
and I don't know what that is now. Obviously I had this time set aside for ed I have not been satisfied with the amount of time I've had to talk about this story today. So I'm welcome. I'm more than glad to take the time back, which we've done. But these drones are We're we're talking near an Arsenal Military Base, Picatinny Arsenal Military Base, Trump National Golf Club.
They're flying along certain areas. They're supposedly very sophisticated. A guy who's an expert in China said this, This smells of Chinese involvement. What do you think would happen if a unknown drone showed up in China in say Oh, I don't know, Beijing. You think it'd last for more than three minutes? No, I I am open, I have I have a stack. There was something that's said to me, So I've clipped a few things together here that I'm
happy to get in front of you. But if you have a thought on this drone thing, you're welcome to call me. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. I'm not interested in Well, you know, Preston, they're there. They could be UFOs. No, I don't. I don't know. Check that. Say that for George Norri. Okay, I'm not going there. These are not UFOs. These are drones. They are unidentified, but they're not of alien or demonic, spiritual whatever origin these are. These are not These are drones. They're big ones.
If you have a thought on that, you're welcome to call me. But I would shoot one down and dare somebody to complain about it? Seriously? Okay, let's see who gets upset that their technology didn't come back to them, And in the meantime you'll have a lot of information on what the technology is and its origination. Eleven past the hour back with more. So, what do you think's going on up there in the skies in the northeast? Bill, thanks for calling into the morning show. You're on the air, Goodbay.
How are you doing today, Preston?
Awesome? What do you think?
Well, first of all you. It is a federal crime to shoot down any drone with small, big or otherwise. Even if a hobby drone, it's considered an aircraft. It's monitored, it's controlled by the FAA, and it's a felony to shoot one down. It'd be like if you shot down a piper cub in their eyes. So if you're going to do it, make sure you don't get caught.
No, I'm not talking about us shooting one down. I'm talking about the federal government or the state government. This is probably out of the league of the state of New Jersey. I'm talking about that our government. Since they claim to say they don't know anything about it, they need to shoot one down.
Well, they're just wrong. I mean, we're they're they're not being honest. They obviously know something about it. It's controlled by the FAA. But an individual had a single drone doing that, they would know it in a heartbeat. They're just not telling us the truth basically.
So what is your thought on what this is all about? Then? Is this just about stirring up some fear. What's the point of this?
Yeah, it could be a number of things, could be stirring up fear. Could be just testing to see what the population. They've done that before. I think COVID was part of that testing the population. I don't know if it's surveillance because they already have all the stuff they need. You know, it's nothing they can't get with satellites or anything else. So it's a real good question, Bill.
Thank you appreciate the phone call. Let's see what stand has for us.
Good morning, morning, good morning. This is staying if such a drone people here, and you are to use drones for agricultural purposes, but we know where they are who we don't invite them on drop places and let me know what they're doing there. Unidentified unmanneddrones need to be shot down and the consequences be what they may. If they won't to admit to what they are, shoot them down.
If if you saw one of these over your property, would you take it down?
Yes, especially if if it had already been in the news that nobody could would admit to what they are. Now that now that you know, it's a heightened the sense of awareness that somebody it seems like they're there for the various purposes. If they won't tell you what they're there for if I think some one got lost and just happened to be over our place. I checked into it first, but today I chewed it down first.
Yeah. The thing you have to be careful of is based on the descriptions of these things, stand the size. We're hearing them about that that's a whole other concern when they come flying out of the sky after being shot down by whether it's you know, a citizen just saying I've had enough or state government saying the same. I gotta believe there's a way that you can trace and and know more about these things. I agree with
what Bill was saying at the beginning. They know something and they're just not telling us, and that in and of itself is alarming. Anthony, what do you.
Think I'll consider that that Chinese balloon flew across almost the entire country. Yeah, and they're like, oh, well, we.
Can't shoot it down because somebody might get hurt. Now, that's the excuse they'll use in Jersey. Why because they had a lot more people than the Jersey The excuse, the excuse when it was in Montana was just you know, garbage as an excuse. But that's what it is. They know what the government knows who it is, because the day.
It's all regulated, they know it's not.
They know it doesn't belong to anyone in the US.
Anthony, thank you, buddy. Be well out there. Let's get one more call in before the break. Benton, thanks for being patient with me.
Go ahead, war depressed. Then I've got a theory here.
Maybe it's Elon Musk.
Maybe Trump gave them the link in the NOD to do a little bit of R and D over.
Over New Jersey.
Okay, so you think Musk knows I think.
It could be his technology.
Okay, all right, thank you very much. They okay, Benton, thanks very much. I appreciate it. Hey, nothing's off the table to me. I don't have a clue. I'm just I was just sitting there literally as we were talking, they were showing people that, I mean, this is not even in question. It's been it's being videotaped by people's phones by the thousands. I'll still take some calls eight five zero two zero five WFLA seventeen past the hour. If not, I've got other things to talk about this.
Tomorrow on the radio program, we will have what's the beef, final chance to get it off your chest. For the year, we'll have the best and worst, some good news, talk a little more about our friends at Humble House, remember raising funds for them. Final few days of that. Our final show of the year live is on Wednesday Thursday. Next week we begin the twelve days of Preston look back at the year twenty twenty four in order, and
our final show on January third. Exclusive interviews you have never heard that I have done with Justin Haskins, Peter Schweitzer, the great one, Mike Levin and Glenn Beck. Had a great visit with Glenn and Mark and Peter and Justin of course, And so the December show will be a fun one because of content you have not heard. So it'll be kind of our little gift to you before
we come back live on on Monday, January sixth. But the big stories in the press box today, catching up on a few things to a certain extent, How in the world did it take a year and three months to find out that three hundred and twenty three vials of infectious viruses have gone missing from a lab in Australia? How is that even remotely possible? And I'm gonna ask that. By the way, did I read write that Obama has written a pardon out for Anthony Fauci and for Adam Schiff.
You don't give pardons to people that are have never been charged with anything unless they're guilty of something. Boy, oh, boy, Adam Schiff. What was that about? Oh? Yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia, the smoking gun that he claimed he had one big story? How in the world do these viruses just turn up missing and we don't know for a year and three months? And oh, by the way, what are we doing with these viruses? Anyway?
Now?
I mean, at this point, what are we doing with them? What is the point of having smallpox? What is the point? And I'm sure someone's gonna get me an answer, But three hundred and twenty three fALS of multiple infectious viruses, what could possibly go wrong? We just got through talking about another big story, A bunch of drones flying around in places and we don't know their origin. That's a lie.
That is a one hundred percent lie. And isn't it interesting the timing Biden's pardoning and commuting sentences of thousands of people think the I think the count the last count is something like fifteen hundred or something like that. I mean, it's it's insane. The we're not talking just Hunter fifteen hundred jail sentences, pardons for thirty nine others. Largest day of clemency in history, Sentences commuted for inmates placed on home confinement during the COVID nineteen pandemic who've
successfully reintegrated into their families and communities, convicted of nonviolent crimes. Okay, all right, I guess I have more questions about the faucies of the world than these kind of people. And what about those January sixth prisoners? Trump said they're out day one with exceptions. See thank you for that. There are some that need to be kept. There are some, not many, very few. And personally, I'd love to have a conversation with ray Epps among others, wouldn't you? Forty
one minutes pass the hour? More big stories next? By the way, on the twelve days of Preston. The fifth of the twelve days is on Christmas Day. I'm just saying, we're not going to spend the whole morning talking about the stories of the month of May. If you catch my drift, wink wink, It's Christmas Day for Pete's sake. I've got something big for that show. You can listen on Christmas Sunday. Think about it now before the kiddos get up, even as the kids get up. It's a
show for everybody on Christmas Day. Daniel Penny was found not guilty in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely. I've just been asking where was the family all these years when Jordan Neely was living on the streets suffering any number of until health crises. They certainly want to benefit financially from his death, filing now a civil lawsuit against Daniel Penny. Really, this is just this is interesting. Do
you know the story of Jordan Williams. I had a listener send me this note and I had to look up the story. Pat wrote in he said, wonder if you heard about Jordan Williams who stabbed a man on a subway and killed him because the man had slapped his girlfriend, punched her in the face, and was bullying other passengers. Charges against him were dropped the DA did
not want to prosecute him. Curious on your thoughts as to why this happened when Penny was almost railroaded for pretty much the same thing well, it's because Jordan Williams is black. Now, I'm gonna be honest with you, he shouldn't have been charged. You can act in defense. Now, this is Florida Castle doctrine. You can defend the life of yourself, a loved one, or a stranger if you feel like their life is in jeopardy. And so they looked at the case and decided there were no charges needed.
Good decision. Jordan Williams doesn't fit the narrative they want to inflame black versus white. That's why black on black crimes are not talked about in Chicago and Baltimore and fill in the blank. It doesn't fit the narrative. And the overwhelming cause of death outside of abortion for black people is black on black that's why. But that that ought to be talked about, but it's only discussed in places like this, which is just sad. But it's the truth.
So we heard the whining and complaining in the aftermath. Jordan Neely's death is sad. Jordan Neely threatened someone to die that day and was being belligerent and dangerous, and the threat was held at bay. He eventually passed away. One coroner said it was Daniel Penny that did it, and honestly, if he did, I'm you know, I'm sad the guy died, but I'm okay with how that happened. If that was the case. Another medical examiner said, no, not at all, that where the choke hold was placed
was not a choke hold that leads to death. He had other conditions that led to his death, like drugs in his system, like sickle cell trade, like mental health disorders. He was schizophrenic. That's a mental health condition that causes tremendous problems to the body. And then we talked about
the socialist University of Pennsylvania professor. That's another big story today, hiding her social media after celebrating the assassination, saying she's never been prouder than to know that a graduate of University of Pennsylvania murdered this CEO. And she's just among the many out there, including folcahannas Elizabeth Warren, the fake Indian Warrior princess herself. Forty seven passed the hour back
with more of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Fifty two past the hour tomorrow on the program Besides What's the Beef Share, a little bit about my most recent adventure. My wife and I had a member of the family get married over the last weekend, and so we were in attendance. We were in Texas, and there are stories to tell. So yeah, we'll share a little bit of that tomorrow as well as get caught up on some
more things. We have until Wednesday next week. Now, of course, you can give any time to Humble House Ministries, but our part of the fundraising drive where we're trying to help them out. There's a big banquet tonight here in Tallahassee. There's another one, I believe next week in Panama City. You can go to the website to learn more about that. But we really are are hoping that you'll step up
and help. And I'm speaking especially because I know that many of you man given ten bucks right now, and the economy we're in is a stretch. I get it. And if you can pry the ten dollars away, just know it's gonna make a difference when you take. You know, there's an old song that's sung in churches little as much when God is in it. When you take just a little bit and put it in the hands of God, it just it and in the case of the multiplication factor.
You know, God's into addition and multiplications, Satan's into subtraction and division. That's kind of the math of the world, the spiritual world. And so I'm just challenging you to do what you can to help them out, all right. Humblehouseministries dot org brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLAH. Where did the Time Go Crazy? Big Stories? This morning on the program Socialist University of Pennsylvania, professor makes a celebratory post about
the assassination of the CEO of United Healthcare. And I don't know how this person has a job. See to me that kind of there is no protection of the consequences of exercising your First Amendment speech. If I trash my bosses, I can expect to get fired if I make a statement that is just in this case, I'm I couldn't be prouder that one of our graduates I'm paraphrasing, assassinated the CEO of United Healthcare. Excuse me, but that's what we've got today in doctrination centers. Honestly, I don't
care about the little Cretan. I don't. I'm going to name the people that support him. Taylor Lorenz, former Washington Post reporter. What an embarrassment, Elizabeth Warren, What an embarrassment. By the way, stuff happens at a McDonald's, right, Donald Trump serves a few fries. This guy shows up and thinks he can just I'm telling you now, he was going to carry out other assassinations. That was his plan, we'll find out. Talked about Daniel Penny and the whining
in the aftermath of his acquittal, which was rightful. Talked about what's going on over the skies of Jersey, what's up with that? Took some calls deadly virus samples go missing. Man, busy show, and we're going to do another one tomorrow
