This is show fifty three hundred period, right there, fifty three hundred of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. And we are three days away today Tomorrow Sunday, because Monday, a new day will don It won't be perfect, it will be far from it, because we are imperfect people. But we got a chance. So you're saying there's a chance. Yeah,
I am. Start with some scripture here. Philippi two fourteen through sixteen says do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent children of God, without blemish in the midst of a crooked, twisted generation.
Right.
It goes on to say, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ, I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Mm hm hmm. His love is the reason to keep on believing. Ten past the hour. Good morning, dear friends, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Thanks for listening. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Eleven minutes past the hour, Jose, can you see running the program over there in Studio one a wearing a freshly washed bandanna that is just let's just say it was made for Jose. Whenever that that bandana was released to the marketplace, it had one destination his head. Now. See I keep reminding you of this. You're laughing like crazy, but no one can hear you. Yeah.
And the reason I'm laughing because there's a little pandas on it.
Flowers. Yeah, it's special.
Uh.
Today is January seventeenth, seventeen oh six. Benjamin Franklin born in Boston. Seventeen eighty one. Patriot Army led by General Daniel Morgan wins a decisive victory over the British at Calpin's South Carolina eighteen oh six. Thomas Jefferson's daughter Martha gives birth to James Madison Randolph, the first child born in the White House. Eighteen ninety three, American sugar planters, led by Sanford Dole, overthrow Hawaii's queen. Let's see if
I can figure this out, Lili o'colani. By the way, Dole as in the fruit, you know, pineapple and all that bananas. Okay, but that is a dark moment in US history. The overthrow of the Queen of Hawaii was a brutal, ugly thing in America's past. That's a history lesson right there. Eighteen ninety three, nineteen seventeen, United States buys the Virgin Islands from Denmark for twenty five dollars. Now, I'm just kidding, twenty five million. And in nineteen ninety four,
magnitude six point seven earthquakes strikes southern California. Think about that now. So in nineteen ninety four, so Cow at least sixty one people died during an earthquake. So here we are, twenty twenty five, same time of the year, massive fires southern California. I'm just saying, it's crazy, absolutely crazy. Your weather should have reminded you. Next week I counted. I think we've got four straight nights in the twenties.
We're gonna enjoy a beautiful day today. It's gonna rain Tomorrow Sunday it's gonna be sixty three than twenty seven, forty five on Monday, thirty two for the low, forty one on Tuesday, twenty seven for the low. Thirty seven is the high on Wednesday, thirty seven. Twenty five is the low. So you've got four straight nights starting Sunday at freezing or lower. So I'm sharing this because you need to be prepared. I don't know about you. I got a few plants hanging on by a thread and
I've had them covered. So yeah, and then Thursday it's forty eight and thirty four. There's a chance of snow coming as I'm looking at the forecast, So Monday we've got thirty two with a high of forty one on Tuesday, but a sixty percent chance of rain with a low of twenty seven that night. So it all depends on when that rain comes. We could have some flakes of snow. I were the last time its snowed here. I was here and it was it was incredible outside the studio,
I went outside took video of it. It was crazy. Next week could be one of those weeks, friends, it could happen. Today is nothing. I mean, today's Popeye the Sailor Man day kick. I've stood all I can stands, and I can't stands no more. I don't. If I heard his voice, I could probably do it a little better, but not much. But Popeye iconic cartoon character Brutus and then today's National Classy Day. So those of your notable you know you stay classy, tallahassee you stay classy. PC.
Come on, come on wherever you are, stay classy. Seventeen passed the hour sad passing in the world of entertainment and sports. I'll share that next. Well, yeah, this is this is one of those stories that causes me to reflect on how fortunate a life I've lived. A very good friend of my dad's passed away yesterday morning. Now, my dad died in nineteen ninety eight, so here we are all these years and a friend of his passed away, which tells you that he was a good deal younger
than my dad. And I was fortunate enough to meet Bob a couple of times and interview him once. One of the funniest human beings on the planet. He was a Major League baseball player turned broadcaster quasi entertainer. You might know him as Harry Doyle from the movies Major League,
the Major League Franchise. He was the broadcaster just a bit outside when the guy threw the thing and hit the mascot, you know, I mean, it was just his comedic timing though after he retired from baseball, was legendary, to the point that he was a regular on the Johnny Carson The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in two thousand and three as the recipient of the Ford Frick Award,
which honors a broadcaster every year. He was a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves for a few years, then won a World Series with the Saint Louis Cardinals in nineteen sixty four. He joked about being one of the only hitters who could hit Sandy Kofax. In fact, I think he was. He had like a lifetime three seventy batting average against Kofax, which was it because he was a terrible hitter. But he had self deprecating humor down to
an art and science. And it's interesting because they mentioned in the write up here the legendary radio voice who called the games of the Milwaukee Milwaukee Brewers since nineteen seventy one was some of those years he worked with my dad. My dad did the Milwaukee Brewers baseball for a few years, and Bob was his partner, And so that's how I got to know Bob Youker died at the age of ninety and just a remarkable guy, one of the most fascinating guys to talk to, and just
had a natural sense of humor that was unparalleled. And so hope Bob's able to rest in peace. Hope he knew Jesus. But you know, it's so unique. The other day I got several people texting me and emailing me about Dan Patrick's show, which is heard on our sister station, ninety six five The Spear. I believe it starts at nine o'clock. And you know, Dan is a tremendous broadcaster. He was the best at ESPN. He and Keith Oberman, before Oberman lost his mind, were just a wonderful tandem
on the anchor desk at ESPN. But Dan saw the handwriting on the wall, he saw where ESPN was going, and he got out. And he's a very good radio talk show host. It's a very good broadcaster. And he had Jim Nance on the program and they were talking about great sportscasters that impacted Jim Nance's career, and Jim was kind enough to mention my dad, And so I had a lot of people talking about how, Hey, your dad was mentioned by Jim nance on The Dan Patrick Show.
And I've met Jim a couple of times, and I'd love to get him on the program, and I might endeavor to do that just to talk about his career because it's been wonderful. And I think Jim would be the first one to say that people like my dad and Pat Summer all paved the way for him and
created a path for him to make insane money. I mean, Jim is incredibly well compensated over the years, and he should be for the work that he's done and the role that he has played, in particular in college basketball, the NCAA Tournament, the NFL of course, Super Bowls, and golf, notably the Masters. But just a credit to broadcasting. But it's been an interesting week, a lot of memories of
my dad because of these intersections that I come across. Anyway, twenty eight minutes past the hour, come back with the big stories in the press box. Don't miss those good stuff. Next read in a little late reminiscing about Bob Buker and his passing yesterday at the age of ninety. But we get to the big stories in the press box this morning and yesterday Governor Ron de Santis gathered the media and friends and made the announcement today.
I'm proud to announce that I am selecting our Attorney General, Ashley Moody, to serve as our next US Senator.
There you go, hey, that's who I said was going to be the pick. That was my guess. I had no inside knowledge whatsoever, just reading the governor's statements on the person that he's looking for the type of person. And then if you look at Ashley Moody's track record, she's a fifth generation Florridian. She has served as our attorney general for two terms. He has been a judge. She's remarkably accomplished. She's absolutely devoted to the agenda of
Donald Trump. I like to get things done, focus on problems, solve the problems, deliver those to the people that hire you, your bosses, the citizens. He said, there's a deadlock in Washington, and she's ready to show up and fight for this nation and fight for President Trump to deliver the America
First Agenda on day one. And so now you've got two cabinet positions that Governor Desantez has to select someone to finish out the CFO term of Jimmy Patronis who's running for Congress in Matt Gates's old district district one to our west and in he would be the congress congressional representative for some of you that are that are listening to the program, and I think he will likely win that race. But now he also has to select
an attorney general to replace Ashley Moody. There is a thought that it could be his chief of staff, James Uthmeier, So we'll we'll have to wait and see. The IRS gave Jeffrey Epstein's a state a one hundred and eleven million dollar tax refund last year. There are a lot of people really upset about this. This story comes from the New York Times gave him gave the refund last fall because of allegedly overvaluing a state and so forth and the taxes on it. A lot of victims saying
that money should be going to the victims to us. Now, there have been settlements with a lot of victims, but the idea that any profits, any money is coming back, should go to two people that Epstein appointed in his will as executors that should benefit from whatever it hits. A lot of people as really wrong and I get it, and then just quickly here Blackrock has ended its membership in net zero net zero Asset Managers. It is a
coalition committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gases. Now it's not all, oh, look Blackrock saw the light, not quite, but it is a positive move. Blackrock is trying to stem the tide because they're losing a lot of money from people pulling their money from the management of Blackrock because Blackrock is supporting initiatives that in reality hurt businesses. So a a little bit of an added note here for our big stories this morning here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Forty minutes past the hour.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
As you know, we have kept our eye on the murder investigation, well since the crime happened ten years ago, going on eleven years. It's ten and a half years now since Dan mark l was murdered about five minutes from our station. FSU law professor bitter custody battle. He was winning all of the petitions. He was, you know, Dan was a very detailed by by all accounts, a
brilliant legal mind. And when his wife at the time Wendy Adelson Wendy Markel when when Wendy hit him with divorce papers when he was out of town and he came home basically to an empty house and papers and the kids were gone. His two sons man So he fought to maintain joint custody, if not full. But Wendy's family very successful dentistry and her brother was a dentist, cosmetic dentist, I think down in South Florida. They made they made a very good living. They would not have
any of that. They They went to a lot of difficulty trying to get Dan to relinquish custody and allow the kids to move. They toyed with the idea of telling him that they were going to convert the kids to Catholicism instead of their the Jewish faith that they were that he wanted them raised in as well as the family really wanted them raised in. But they were just using that as a lever. They offered to pay
him lots of money. He wanted his boys to spend time, so Wendy was prevented from moving, and in July of twenty fourteen, not far from here, Dan was followed from a workout at Premiere Gym here in Tallahassee by two people from Miami that had returned to Tallahassee for a second time. They've never been here before. They rented a car, they came here. They followed him. They were seen on bus surveillance, and I say surveillance just the cameras that
are on city buses. They were seen on the security system outside Premiere Jim. They were seen on certain streets. They followed him and pulled up behind him as he pulled into his garage after morning workout and dropping off the kids at school, and they shot and killed him. All because of custody. The two men in that car, the gunman has been sentenced to life in prison. The driver, an associate, had twenty years added to a sentence he was already serving, but he turned to be a state witness.
The go between who was a girlfriend and quote employee of the dental office who was getting paid by the office manager for no one knows why she would be paid because she didn't work there. She was getting paid Katie mcmanua. She was convicted of first degree murder along with her. Oh yeah, that's right. The gunman was her sort of kind of common law husband and father of
her children. She was also the girlfriend of Charlie Adelson, the brother of Wendy Aedelson, who has, oh by the way, been convicted of first degree murder and now their mother. Donna Adelson is a waiting trial and the attorneys are seeking a change of venue because of publicity like shows like this talking about the case, and they say that she can't have a fair trial. I would argue, of course she can, because there are lots of people that
know nothing about the case in this town. But I would also say that's fine, move it because the evidence is overwhelming. I mentioned before, I've served on a grand jury. There is more evidence, circumstantial and other that points to the involvement of Donna Adelson is just like Charlie. In fact, the case might be stronger against Donna. This is a no brainer. If I'm on the grand jury, this is a yeah. So we'll wait and see if they get
the change of venue. I think it's fine, But I also know that there's all kinds of people that don't listen to this show. And I've spent time on this. There are podcasts that have been devoted to this where you can hear the undercover tapes and all of the information. But there's all kinds of people that know nothing about it. But anyway, we'll see what happens. She's supposed to face this summer forty seven forty eight minutes after the hour, back with more Friday. Here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott, What's the Beef? Comes up? An hour three man Wednesday, Biden doing his little farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. So in confirmation hearings Scott Bessen, who's a very very wealthy guy, been nominated by Trump to lead the Treasury Department. He
sparred with Bernie Sanders. Bennie Sanders, I'm not trying to be like Barnie. I'm just channeling Mayanna Barnie. And the question was whether the US is heading to this oligarchy. Sanders said he agreed with Biden, calling out Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. Ironically, I think only only Musk has come out and support overtly of Trump. But regardless, three billionaires, all of them. Bessen said, the three billionaires you listed all made their money themselves. Mister Musk came
to this country as an immigrant. Sanders cut him off. Well, I would note that President Biden gave the president I'm sorry he cut him off, reiterated the question. It wasn't Sanders's said this. Besson said, do you know who Biden gave a Presidential Medal of Freedom to? George Soros? Sanders had to kind of compose himself. This is not a condemnation of anyone individual. I'm just asking you, with so few people having so much wealth and power, do you
think it's an oligarchic form of society? Besson said, correctly, Senator, I think it depends on the ability to move up and down the income. And at that point they talked about the minimum wage, raising the federal minium wage. Besson said, no, I don't support it. It's not a smart thing, and he's correct. It's just it's the one thing that's happening in these confirmation hearings is the Democrats on these committees
are showing themselves and so there you go. Hey, just quick reminder, clothing needed for the Tallahassee Knight to Shine prom Dance, which is coming up in February on the seventh Emmanuel Baptist Church, twenty three fifty one mayhand drive accepting lightly used or knew promwear for kids fourteen and up, boys, girls, young men, young ladies. You know, dresses, purses, jewelry, you know, belts and perhaps shoes and suits and tuxes and ties
and bow ties for the guys. So if you want to learn more about the event, it's Night to Shine Talassi dot com. If you can donate the clothing, they're putting a boutique together at the church for the kids. Today's the last day to donate the clothing, all right, So we'd appreciate you thinking about helping if you can't time for hour two. The quality of the people that Donald Trump has nominated is just staggering. Christy Nomes confirmation
hearing begins at nine o'clock Eastern this morning. Homeland Security. I want to say anyway, yeah, just good stuff. Announcement came yesterday. I of course I am on the mailing list. I received an email from the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee. I'm expecting the invitation to come FedEx today or tomorrow. I probably can't make it, but now I'm just kidding,
but I did get a press release here. Swearing in Ceremony will feature Carrie Underwood singing America the Beautiful American tenor, Christopher Machio singing the national anthem, and of course Lee Greenwood, he's kind of He's Trump's guy. God Bless the USA, I'm sure will be sung. Then the Make America Great Again Rally. The victory rally will feature Kid Rock the Village People. That's awesome and I hope you remember the big lesson there and I wish iHeart would kind of
use this to the recording industry in general. Trump was using YMCA at his rallies and it put the song on the charts for the first time in forty years, and it reached number one on the Billboard Charts four decades after it was a thing, if not more than four decades. It's like memo to the music industry. When people use your music, it reminds them of it and it brings a whole new generation that never heard it and they go, Okay, that's a thing. I want to
download that and you make money. But no, no, no, no, can't have it on your podcast. Can't do that because that's that's not that's we're not giving you the license to do. Oh shut up, We all win. We played trendy music from back in the day that was popular. You get your music hurt again. Everybody wins. I don't. I this is a lesson the Village People. That song is a lesson. And I'll be just between us. I'm actually shot Trump didn't pick macho man. Make it a
little more personal. Also at the rally will be Billy Ray Cyrus Jan He's his daughter turned him into a train wreck. Lee Greenwood will be there. Liberty University's Praise Choir will be there as well. The Liberty Ball will feature Jason aldein the Village People again and a surprise musical guest. I don't know who that is. I've not seen rumors about who that might be. I'm sure it's
out there somewhere. The Commander in Chief Ball will feature Rascal Flats and Parker McCollum, and then the Starlight Ball will feature Gavin de Graux. My guess is that's the late night one that.
You know.
So there's your no duration lineup. I am praying we get through this without incident. It's all happening Monday, and so when we are back Tuesday, we are off on Monday. When we come back on Tuesday, we will be likely talking about some actions taken by Donald Trump on day one. I would imagine there will be votes, confirmation votes day one for members of his cabinet. There are very important appointments that need to happen day one. There's some, Eh, you could wait a few days, you could wait a
few weeks. There's some that day gotta get done. So we'll see what happens. More on the President, bringing back a story that I talked about last year after he is election win. Just going to kind of remind you of it and set the stage for a future set of segments on it. Next here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. My hope is that once we get to Tuesday shows, I don't have to say Biden, Oh, Biden, Kamala, Harris, Barack Obama. I don't have to say any of their
names hardly. Ever, I hope that Joe is nothing more than a footnote in American history. He was installed and occupied the office. I don't believe he was the president and I say that in two ways. Number One, I don't believe he won the election. Fairly, I do not, and the evidence is greater now than it was then.
But more importantly, perhaps than that is, I believe that when Barack Obama and Michelle Obama made the decision to not leave Washington, DC, not return back to Illinois, not go somewhere else, but they stayed in the DC area, and I watched what happened to Trump. I knew that Barack Obama was running things behind closed doors, that he had enough people in key spots, and there were enough people with security clearances, the John Brennan's of the world,
the William Clappers of the WORL world. There were enough people that were still inside the government as well, like John Kerry and Biden and Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. I believe that Barack Obama's been the president. I don't believe Joe Biden's been president at all. His name's on it. He didn't make these decisions anyway. Early on, Donald Trump pointed out that the nation is going to celebrate its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary on the in June,
sorry July fourth. Obviously, you know, I mean, you could get to technicalities July second, but July fourth is the date that we celebrate America's birth and so July fourth, year and a half from now will be our two hundred and fiftieth national birthday, and he wants a national Birthday party. He wants the Great American State Fair to take place. He wants and now, mind you, this will be a target for not just terrorists, but every malcontent person that ought to be rounded up and shown an
airline ticket out of the country. If you don't like it here, leave, If you don't like democracy as it's expressed in a constitutional republic, leave and trust me, there are all kinds of people that would love to take your place, that want to be in this country. But he wants pavilions from all fifty states nationwide high school sporting contests. He wants to build the National Garden of American hero with statues of important figures, Frederick Douglas, Amelia Earhart.
The list goes on and on. How cool would that be to add a monument in Washington, a beautiful, spectacular garden that features great Americans throughout history that you could add to as time goes by and you have a statue of them and a plaque describing why they're there. That's brilliant. Anyway, we're going to have a show at some point where we take ideas. I'll try to line
up some special guests to throw in some ideas. But I think it would be fun to talk about soon, not later, sooner and then think about who would be in that national Garden. I got a bunch of bobbles in here that represent people that ought to be in there. But anyway, sixteen past the hour, Salute to America two fifty something to think about. Well, now TikTok might not be dead after all. This is going to be interesting.
And I'm sharing this at this segment because I know we have some young people that do listen to this show, and I know that young people are addicted to not all, but many are addicted to TikTok. And I get it.
You just you're participating in the Chinese downloading your data, knowing what Americans are watching, what goes viral, what things attract the attention of America, what moves the needle in culture in America, And as a result, a bipartisan piece of legislation was passed and Joe Biden signed it that would end TikTok if the parent company, which I think is called byte Edance, didn't sell TikTok to someone outside China. I'm guessing by Sunday at midnight. Here's what I didn't
know that I now know. Donald Trump's working to try to keep TikTok operable and give them more time to find a buyer. According to to town Hall, an individual close to the Trump team told the Washington Post that Trump wants to try to find a way to make the deal, make a deal to save the app, and so, whether it's some kind of executive order the next day or whatever, but as of right now, the company is going to go dark here in America Sunday, January nineteenth.
Whether that's at the end of the day or at the beginning, I don't know. I don't I don't watch TikTok, I don't have the app, I have no interest in it, and so I'm curious what do you think about this? I personally have no issue banning it. I know that that offends some of you that are libertarians. I'm sorry, I just I don't have a tolerance there's all kinds of social media apps that are not owned by the chiicoms,
but that one is specifically a problem. And if you pair the app and its function and how it feeds, it just floods the Chinese with information about Americans. And you combine that with the Chinese philosophy of world dominion and its desire to take America without firing a shot. If you combine those things, you begin to see. Oh and while damage has been done, intelligence has been gathered.
My god, they're flying balloons with detection devices and cameras and who who knows what over top of our country are those drones from China. We don't know because no one's telling us, although I think they know, meaning our government. So I don't have a problem with banning it, and then if they want to sell it, because quite honestly, if TikTok loses its American audience, and the way the ban would work is it's just sort of a matter of time. The way the law works. You can continue
to use it, but you can't. No one new can download it, and you can't do any updates, So it's a matter of time before it becomes obsolete. That said, you know, it's it's been doing its job for a while now, and I just think that if you crater its value, it'll get sold, and who knows, maybe then at that point an American buys it at a steel price and so forth. But you remove the American audience, it craters the value of it. It just does. Anyway, twenty seven past, we're gonna come back where we set
the big stories in the press box. What's the beef Friday comes up in just over a half hour. Big Stories in the press Box here halfway through the Friday edition of The Morning Show with Preston Scott off on Monday, it is the day that honors the civil rights movement in the name of doctor Martin Luther King, and so it is a company holiday. Ergo, we will be off, but we'll be back on Tuesday. And of course Monday's Inauguration Day as well. That is not the big story
in the press box. We have discussed it, but that it's not among the big stories. Big stories in the press Box. Obviously, leading Florida Governor Rond De Santis picts Ashley Moody, the Attorney General, to become the replacement for Senator Mark or Rubio so, assuming the confirmation of Rubio as Secretary of State, his replacement will be our attorney general. And I think it's a terrific choice. I really do. It is a I think it's a historical choice. Has
there ever been a female US Senator from Florida. I don't think so. I could be mistaken, but I don't think so. Anyway, it's a great choice. Now he's got to replace her. Some believe it'll be his chief of staff, James Utemeyer uth Meyer, some Utmyer. I go with what I've been told by people in the office. But Blackrock world's largest asset manager with Druid's membership from net zero asset managers, it is a coalition committed to achieving net
zero greenhouse gas emissions by twenty fifty. A lot of people have been really concerned. And if you may remember, there are state governments in Florida, might be one of them that pulled their money from management by Blackrock because of it. They're not going to allow state pensions to be governed by somebody that is pushing money into things that aren't necessarily profitable for the investor. Now, before you know, it's the article here canservatives notch another win after Blackrock
kills net zero membership. Yeah, don't be don't be spiking the football so fast. Blackrock said it's active investment portfolio managers will managers will continue to assess material climate related risks. So we're not we're not quite through that yet, We're not over the hump. Now. Here's what also is interesting about this story that that organization net zero asset Managers paused all activities, noted that it launched a review of the initiative to ensure NZAM remains fit for purpose in
the new global context. Well, if you're calling yourself net zero, you're committing to that, right. So it goes on to say NZAM will also remove the commitment statement and list of NZAM signatories from its website. Okay, see this is now damage control because the asset managers that are committed to this nonsense are losing money. People are pulling their money from it, from those asset managers, and so they're pulling the list of names. Clearly, the decision by Blackrock
is reverberating inside the coalition. I would list it as not a death blow to this ridiculousness, but a punch to the kidney that damage the kidney a little bit. The question becomes, can you land more blows and knock it out? I can't tell you that. And then this final story, the IRS gave Jeffrey Epstein's a state a one hundred and eleven million dollar tax refund last year.
That money should have gone immediately to victims. It should have been brought back because that that money was not considered when it came to paying off some of the victims. I want to say, give me just second. One hundred and thirty five victims listed so far, they're more than that, and they've been paid one hundred and sixty five million.
I would surmise theyre each do a share of the one hundred and eleven million that the IRS just gave back instead of people that were affiliated with Epstein and Epstein, one of the most loathsome human beings ever. Forty minutes past the hour, we have we have some notes from you next.
Some subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry, We're here to make it all better. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
I love you audience of this program, So smart. Paula Hawkins US Senator Paula Hawkins was the first and up until now only female US Senator from the state. Here's what's interesting about So thank you to the callers that pointed that out. And I'm sure the email is already coming. Here's what's interesting about this. She was elected and ran as a Republican, once again blowing up this stereotype that the GOP she hates blacks, hates women. Excuse me, the
GOP was founded to end racism to free blacks. It was Democrats that ran the Deep South and were the last to give up on discriminate, discriminatory policies. Stop it, but here's another MythBuster. Paula Hawkins. She was an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination in seventy four. In seventy eight, she was the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, lost to Bob Graham. In nineteen eighty, she was elected to the United States Senate nineteen eighty. She passed away in two
thousand and nine. So there you go. Ashley Moody, the second very nice. I mentioned some letters from you, got some email. This one story here. Former uber driver who raped passengers sentenced to life in prison. The victim This happened in South Fort Myers. The victim the daughter of a listener of this show. He wrote, do not let your loved ones take an Uber. This is my daughter. Thanks Preston for what you do. Beware Uber does not screen their drivers. Please help protect others. And it's the
story of this driver and so heinous his crime. He's sentenced to life, and a listener of this show it was his daughter that was victimized. And I know I wrote to him, and I'm not going to use a first or last name in this particular case, but respecting the privacy. But yeah, so take that for what it's worth, which is a lot. Got this note from Nancy. Thank you so much for your message today regarding the medical community and the oath they take to do no harm.
As a registered nurse, for over fifty years, I've been upset with healthcare providers who think it's okay to provide services that are in fact harmful to people and serve no purpose. It is upsetting to me every time I hear someone say that once a person is adult an adult, it is okay for them to do things to their body if that's their choice. When healthcare professionals providing services that are harmful and do not promote the health of
the person. It can only be described as evil, not therapeutic. It is even more evil when the organizations that purport to set standards for excellence and care support this behavior rather than stop it. Thank you so much for your excellent overview of the issue and your clarion call. You're welcome, and thank you for serving as a nurse for fifty years. Then I got this note. Interesting that I turned on your radio show when you're speaking of how depressing it
can be listening to conservative talk radio mainstream media. For me, after twenty four hours of radio being locked on one hundred point seven, I had to stop listening three months ago. Three reasons, the election, the lies, and knowing very little will change. I also watched Senator Mullen's clip yesterday, very pride and appreciative of him being truthful and real. My question is why are other Republicans speaking up anyway. Nice to hear you're doing well. Continue to spread the words.
Sign Stuart and I wrote back to Stuart, and I said, Stuart my man, First of all, our show is unlike any other show. It's not three hours of depression we skip around. But additionally, the only way things do change is if you have people informed and have the will to change things using what you have available to you. You have the ability to talk to your elected leaders, you have the ability to vote, You have the ability to go to meetings, you have the ability to meet
with others. So I get it. You know, sometimes you have to unplug. I get that, But boy, don't punish yourself by removing yourself from this show. That would be mine, my exhortation, my challenge to any of you that might think similarly from time to time. Again, I'm not always successful, trust me, but I do my best to walk that tightrope of keeping you informed but also amused, entertained, and nudged a little bit here and there. Besides, we talk
about Jesus. That's okay, that's a good thing. Forty eight minutes after the hour, come back, get you ready for what's the beef? Yeah, it'll be a little spicy wow. Fifty three past the hour, it's what's the Beef Friday? Coming up in just a little bit. Phone lines opening
at eight five zero two zero five WFLA. You can call right now if you like, eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two, an MS thirteen gang leader who admitted to planning, approving, and taking part in at least seven murders, avoided the death penalty in life in prison under terms of a plea deal. Not going to use a little creep's name. He'll receive forty to
sixty years in prison for admitting to seven murders. He is one of two brothers that were leaders of a gang in Suffolk County, New York, branch of MS thirteen. I will not use the name of the branch because I will not glorify them in any way, shape or form. These losers known for their extreme brutality and violence. She may remember this was the guy behind the murder of two high school girls with a machete and a baseball bat.
Why did he kill these girls because he said something on One of the girls said something on face book criticizing the group, and so they found this girl walking with a friend, and they proceeded to kill them with a baseball bat and a machete, because that's what you do when you're criticized, you just kill people. These crimes are barbaric. They're not going to face the death penalty.
They're not even going to face life in prison. In the courtroom, they laughed at the family and they are no longer facing the possibility of the death penalty because they were directed by the US Department of Justice Merrick Garland to not seek it. The lasting legacy of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, it's unbelievable. Do you remember when I said that the immigration crisis that dead people was just acceptable collateral damage. Do you need any further evidence
than this? Yeah, but Priceden, you can spend forty youth in prithon. Okay, that's fair. It's what's to be Friday. The lines are wide open. This is your chance to get it off your chest, whatever it is. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. Turning the page on the rundown, It's time to talk to you. Let you get it off your chest, whatever has been grinding at you for
a while. We're here to help. It is a form of audiotherapy that for those of you that are listening to the radio program, perhaps the very first time, you'll come to know it as what's the beef Friday? This is the chance to just complain, get it off your chest, whatever's bothering you, to get it said, because you just feel better. And for those of you that don't call in, you'll likely hear something that makes you nod your head and so you get a little bit of vicarious relief.
And so we're here for you. Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. Now the lines are full, and so we will go straight to the phone lines with this simple pair of prohibitions. No profanity and don't make it personal. That's it. So we go to the phone lines. Cowboy Bob, Should I say that with a little morning? Cowboy Bob? How are you?
I think that'd be appropriate?
Yes, what's your beef today, Bob?
Well, I want to compare the wonderful America that we live in with our democrat in the legislature, specifically the Senate. But I'm not going to exclude the House of Representatives,
especially in these hearings. If they haven't completely revealed who and what they are to the people that vote for them, then there's no point in trying to debate with the left, bloviating simple minded morons hampered excessive compensation packages in an IQ the same as their hat size, and that's their good points.
I reckon you feel a little bit better there, cowboy Bob.
Yeah, I'm gonna go have a vuck right now.
You're the one. Got you did you did?
I got you didn't?
Yes, you did, well done, sir, Thank you very much. I completely concur with everything you said. However, eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. That frees up a line. Let's go to John, John, you're up. What's the beef?
Hey, good morning, Presston. Thank you for what you do. You're a island of sanity and the sea of literacy. But my beef is with people who like your I don't think it was a caller or somebody who's left your note about giving up, not want to listen, not want to participate, because things that can go their way. That's the time when you really need to be participating. It's a participatory government. If you don't participate, people that you don't want to participate in will and they would
gladly take your vote. Don't forget the vote. Vote and pay attention to what you going for, what's going on, and thank you for what you inform us with.
Thank you, John, I appreciate that see I had a feeling that was going to stimulate a caller too. Stu's decision to turn off the radio. I just yeah, but thank you, John, appreciate the phone call eight five zero two zero five to w f L A let's go to Lance. Good morning Lance, you're up. What's the beef?
Happy Friday? I want a name. I want to be Cowboy Lance.
So heading up, this happened.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We got to be more creative than that.
Well maybe not Cowboy Bill, but anyway, now I'm distracted. So that was a great way to start off the segment. Here's my beef, I need your out pressed and so heading to get gas and I can't pull into the field pump because there's a person that's obviously not getting gas. But they walked in the store to get their stuff and the gas tank is even on that side. So I actually almost went up to them and asked them about it, and I said, you know what, I'm going to get pressed in a shot at this.
What are we supposed to do about that?
I can't. You know, it's interesting because I see that happen all the time. There's parking spots to go and park in. But people pull in or they get their gas. And I understand if you're going inside because you have to pay, I get that. But when you when you pumped up your gas and you're just sitting there and you're shopping while there's people looking for a pump to to pull into, that's annoying. I I have I have mixed feelings about that. I think that I think the
best thing to do is what you did. Just get it said the show. Yeah, call the show, get it said, get it off your chest and move on. Because here's the thing. People are nuts today, Lance, and you know this, are they and they'll they'll they'll get wigged out and want to fight over nothing, and I just I don't think it's worth it.
I'm glad you had the line for me. Thanks Preston, than you.
You you'll be well, sir. Thanks for calling Gerald Europe. Then Pedro, we've got another caller standing by. We have another caller ringing the line, so just bear with us. Two more segments of audio therapy. It's ten past the hour, it's what's the bee Friday? And just like that, we have two lines that are available. What's that all about? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. They were all full and now they're half empty. See I went from being an optimist to a pessimist just like that, all
full half empty instead of half full. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA is the number you can get in and on the air if you call. Right now, let's go to Gerald, who has been very patiently waiting. Good morning, sir, welcome and what's the beef?
Hey, good morning. My beef is not that I'm negative, but I'm disappointed that Governor the Santis didn't pick somebody from the Hispanic community to replace a Hispanic senator to start. How about Jenet his lieutenant governor something like that, or buddy of mine down to date County Jose ideas and matter of fact, I was in the Marines with Jose, but somebody like that. I just think it would have been a lot better. All those, I don't discount Attorney
General Moody. I just think it would have been better, that's all. And I got one other thing, yeah, sports saying before you hang up, get things driving me crazy? With the horns going off? What do they mean basketball games?
When what happens the horns go off?
It sounded like fog horns.
Well, if you're talking about the end of a half, that's what happens.
No, no, no, some times, you know, like it doesn't mean timeout or something or I don't know, it's just I hear them constantly.
Yeah, I see, Yeah, they're what they're doing is they're signaling the end of the television break.
Ah thank you, yep, yeah, yes, thank you.
Thank you, Gerald, I appreciate it. Yeah, they're signaling that it's time to resume action on college football games. Uh, they're signaling the end of the timeout, is another way to put it. See, a timeout might be sixty seconds, in reality, it's two and a half minutes because of TV. So they sound the horn to let the coaches know it's time to get the guys back on the court.
That's what happens now in college football. You'll you'll notice there's a guy standing on the sideline if it's a televised game, and they all are at this point, and he's got a clock that's up there that shows the officials how much time is left in the television timeout. That person's communicating with the TV people, and so that's what that's all about. So now I got you there.
Thank you so much. I will say this about the Senate appointment, I personally don't think you take that into consideration. I first thank you for serving in the Marine Corps. Once a marine, always a marine, and I appreciate it. But that said, I just don't think you have to pick this because of this. I just think you picked the person you think is the right person for the job regardless. But thank you. Appreciate it very much, Pedro, thanks for calling in. You're up. What's the beef?
Good morning, Preston, and happy New Year. Yes, sir, I totally agree with you. It has to be has to do with a character, not not the race or anything about the person. As icemanic we'll fall into the Democrats crap of of the I and all that stuff. But anyways, my beef, Preston, is regarding these companies, healthcare companies continuing to mandate people wearing masks. My company is one of them.
What my company? I don't own it, Yes, sir, so I'm very since yesterday night when I received the text from the higher up, I told my stuff, you're not going to do it. You're not going to wear a mask. LL do it if you want to but I am not going to order you to wear a mask, and I send my supervisors to send it bill to fifty two. I'm waiting for them to call me back today. It's a shame that it has to get to this, but I have to stand for myself. It's just ridiculous.
Absolutely completely agree with you, and they're foolish because they're not following the sciens Pejoe, thank you, stand your ground brother, standard ground. I appreciate it. Hopefully they will submit to the law and not make that mistake and go down that path. Like you said, if you want to wear one, do your thing, man, but just know that you are you fallen prey to the to the misinformation and the disinformation. Debbie, You're gonna be next. What about You? Final segment is
coming up. I can guarantee at least three to four callers in the next segment. Debbie's one of them. She'll be first. What about You? Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA final segment, What's the beef next? On the Morning Show with Preston Scott for in Fuck of Tash, We've got two lines open, okay one eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. If you want it, it's yours, but in longest sorry, in order of longest wait, we go to Debbie. Hi, Debbie, you're first up. What's the beef?
Good morning, Preston morning might be? Is these late model I'd say late model, it could be twenty three or twenty four model SUVs from high end Day Their signal lights are below, like at the bumper level. So when you're backing out of your spot to leave a parking area, you look out your ear were window and then you don't see the tail lights. You know that they're you know, the backup lights. You don't see them because they're not
lit up because they're below. Yeah. I had two instances backing out of one a car wash one time and then another parking lot another time, and it's like it's a high end Day brand, a model vehicle. So it's really interesting that they have the signal lights and the tail lights you know, down below by bumper level, So just be careful when you're backing out.
Okay, Debbie, thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in this morning. You'll be well, all right, I have a good day, Thank you very much. That frees up the line. Let's go to Diane. Hi, Diane, thanks for calling in. You're up. What's the beef?
Thanks?
Thank you. My beef is why don't people think they need to use their blinkers anymore? I don't know. If it's distracted driving laziness. They just don't.
It's too good for them.
But it causes other people problems, and it's becoming more and more prevalent, and it is very annoying.
Yeah, it's one of those things that to me is a no brainer. You just but yeah, I hear you. I hear you, Diane. Did it almost did it almost cause a wrec for you? Or did it just cause you to miss a lighter? I mean, what was what triggered this?
It causes me to sit longer than I have to because the person was just turn on their signal. I would know that they were turning and I could go ahead and turn right.
And so you missed the opportunity and then traffic picks it picks up right behind him. Right yep, yep, I know what you mean, Diane. Thanks very much, appreciate the phone call. You know, it's interesting. We've got a we've got we've got lines open, we've got someone in queue, right now that's coming on. But I'll tell you what I sat yesterday thinking to myself, what are drivers thinking of? Sometimes? Is it just that people are distracted and they and
I'm not talking about distracted driving. That's a whole nother story. But it's like, I mean, what this morning, I'm driving in there's nobody on the roads, me and one or two other cars, a truck here and there, that's it. I'm driving down there's nobody behind me, and someone races by me, pulls in the lane in front of me and hits the brakes to turn into a gas station
instead of just falling in behind me. There's not a car for a half a mile behind me, but no no cut in front of me, put on the brakes, make me have to hit the brakes. It's like, really, oh, well that's there. I got it off, my chest ron, you're off. What's the beef?
Good morning present? Thank you very much for everything you do. And you're wasting your breath talking about drivers out here thirty eight years and eleven months and never never ceased to amaze me what I might see today. But anyway, my beef is I would like to know about the drones. Where is the transparency. I'd like an answer.
They're hoping we forget.
Yeah, I believe that there, my friend, I really do, I really really do. But I really that's my beef. I would really like to know about the drones. And if that was my girlfriend Debbie there.
I'd like to say hi to her.
I don't know if it's the same Debbie or not there, but you have a great weekend there, my friends, see listen to you next week.
Thank you, Ron. I appreciate the phone call. That'll do it. Here's the thing, we're still waiting to find out what happened with JFK. Right. We still all know exactly what happened with Martin Luther King. We still there are so many things we don't know about. It's I laugh to keep from just getting frustrated. It's the end of the show. I'm not gonna get frustrated. We transition next to the best and Worst of the week. We're gonna take a little extra time on that one. I've got something you
really must hear. My best of the week is really it comes courtesy of a listener that you must hear. It will brighten your trust me. You will, you will be you will love it. We've got good news segment, Dad joke headlines from the b more to come here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott thirty five minutes past the hour. The best and worst of the week. It's time and so Jose you are up, sir. What's your best and worst? All right? The best for me?
I read in the news and a new Jersey patrolman named Chris Rudy arrived at a scene and saved a baby by using CPR. I thought that was pretty excellent, excellent. And my bad news is I learned that or I heard in Los Angeles burglar suspects are using firefighter outfits to rob and steele from people who have evacuated.
Of course they are. So that is just that that grinds my gears. It really really does. Loser. My worst of the week is that my Green Bay Packer is lost in the first round at the NFL Playoffs. Sorry to hear that. Hey, you know this is what it is. But they were just awful. They just couldn't get it done. Defense played great. I mean we one year with Jeff Haffley as defensive coordinator. We went from being a horrible
defense to a top ten Top five defense. I'm like, hello, that's awesome, but it just stinks because I love to get togethers with some of the kids come over and we celebrate with food and just put on packer gear and just have a good time. But then there's the best of the week. And this comes courtesy of Dave, and Dave sent me this, and it's Pierre Poliev. He is a likely replacement for Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister
of Canada. All right, so he's in a maybe a vineyard or something in Canada, just real casual, laid back kind of an interview setting, and he's munched on an apple. And check out this exchange.
On the on the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist uh pathway.
What does that mean?
Well, appealing appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess, I mean, certainly, certainly, you certainly you tap, certainly, you tap a very strong ideological language quite frequently, uh left wing you know this and that right wing you know. I mean it's that that type of ideological thing about left.
But anyways, alike, Okay, a lot of people would would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump uh like which people would say that, Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but like who, I don't know who.
But you're the one who asked the question, so yeah, you must know somebody.
Okay, I'm sure there's some out there. But anyways, the point of this, the point of this question is, I mean, why should why should Canadians trust you with their vote? Given? You know, not not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page of Donald Trump's book, but.
Also think about what page? What page can you give? You?
Page?
Give me the page terms in terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of Trudeau and the left wing and all of this. I mean, you you make quite a you know, it's it's quite a play that you make on it. So I'm not sure.
I don't know, I don't know what you're quing.
Okay, then forget that, Why should Canadians trust you with their vote?
Common sense? Common sense for a change. We're going to make common sense common in this country. We don't have any common sense in the current government. You know, the guy print six hundred billion dollars grows our money supply by thirty two percent in three years. That's growing the money eight times faster than the economy. No wonder we
have the worst to flay inflation in four decades. I'm going to cap spending, cut waste so that we can balance the budget and bring down inflation and interest rates. You'll want to be able to pay your mortgage again, you want to be able to afford rent. Then you have to vote for Pierre Polyev because I'm the only one with a common sense plan that will bring back the buying power of your paycheck.
How brilliant was that? Who? Now you asked the question who? What page? Which one? I mean, it's just it's just brilliant, Dave, thank you for sending that to me, because that, sir, is my best of the week. Oh when we come back, we've got some good news even better than that. No, really, we got a great good news story. Still have a dad joke to share and some headlines from the beasts. So don't leave us twenty minutes away from Glenn Beck. How about that twenty minutes from Glenn Beck here on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You know, you never know where you're going to find a story that lifts your spirits. And I came across this story and it just it spoke to me on so many levels. When you think about it. One of the things that I think gut punches all of us is when you see children in the hospital. Seeing little kids in the hospital just hurts the heart. Sixty three percent of children fear needles. And who can blame them? I mean, who likes getting
stuck with it? Nobody likes it. My goodness, some of you that are diabetics, you endure injections every single day. You endure little pricks to have your blood checked every single day. I mean, I just God bless you. Ella Cassano was seven years of age when she was diagnosed with a chronic condition of rare disorder that can lead to internal bleeding. For seven years after her diagnosis, she received ivs every six to eight weeks. In the midst of all of it, when she was just ten years old,
she invented something called the medi Teddy. Now, just for a second, think about what that might be. A medi teddy It is a teddy bear metas bag that covers the IV So instead of that bag that sterile cold looking bag hanging there's a teddy bear in front of it,
and the bag goes inside of it. They have. She eventually developed two different models, one called Hope, made of silicone and plastic and family and friends can write notes with washable markers on the teddy bear, and the other is Bailey, which is a softer version made of a low pile plush fabric. And when she was twelve, she secured a manufacturer, created a five oh one C three and started medi Teddy Ink, a nonprofit that's on a mission to comfort the sick and reduce anxiety during infusions
and normal medical care. And so here's this little twelve year old girl that endured something and turned it into inspiration to help others. That is the definition of good news, the proverbial making lemonade out of lemons. Love that story.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
No show on Monday. We will be back on Tuesday with the US congress Woman Cat Cammick. Think about that. Now she'll be at the inauguration.

Look back at the radio program in one hundred and eighty seconds or less. Sad day to day. A buddy of my dad's, a colleague of my dad. Bob Buker, legendary voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, but worked with my dad for several years doing Brewers Baseball before he took over as the voice of Brewers baseball. Course known as Harry Doyle in the Major League movies, but had a nice career in professional baseball, winning a ward World Series with the Saint Louis Cardinals in nineteen sixty four. Bob

Trump is trying to keep the app running until a deal can be made to sell it. And that's one of the requirements that Bite Dance has to be sold. They've got they've got to
sell the the product, but not happening yet. That'll about do it. Covered a lot of other ground, of course, and took your calls during What's the Beef a little slow today. I was a little surprised. I think everyone's a little euphoric. The Biden regime, the O Biden, the Obama regime is ending in three days. I hope we don't go back. I really do.
