Yeah, that'll do tears, all right. Welcome friends, Friday on the Morning Show. It is a Psalm forty verse three. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Your praise can do that. God's praise knocks down strongholds. You know, Jericho fell with a shout of praise. Walls fell, and spiritually speaking, the walls that hold people captive fall in the presence of praise. Your decision to put praise in your mouth
changes outcomes. It's up to you. Eleven past the hour. Yeah, I'm a little late. It's all right, it's my show. I'll catch up. Good morning, friendzi'es oaseai. I'm Preston. Welcome to Friday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. February seventh. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, seventeen ninety five, the Eleventh Amendment, which clarifies federal judicial powers, is ratified. Eighteen twelve. The last of the New Madrid earthquakes series of violent quakes
that changes the course of the Mississippi River. Think about that now occurs near New Madrid, Missouri. Where's doctor Ed Moore would say, Missouri. Eighteen sixty seven. Laura Ingalls Wilder born near Peppin, Wisconsin. Nineteen sixty four, The Beatles arrive in New York for their first US tour appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, starting the craze known as Beatlemania. I want you to just get your brain around that we're calling ourselves the Beatles. Tell me they went a
little weed involved in that, huh? Come on? Come on. Nineteen eighty four, Space Shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCanless and Robert Stewart take the first untethered spacewalk and so there you have this date in history. Today is National Bubblegum Day. Do you chew bubble gum? Are you a bubblegum person? No, sir, have you ever been? Ah? Yeah, when I was in high school, you would chew bubble gum. Did you go like with just bubble gum or a flavored like flavor stuff. Yeah? Yeah.
When I did bubble gum in school, it was absolutely the grape. It was I think it was bubble Isious was coming out at that point, and it was like a thing. It's these giant wads and guys on the baseball team would try to hide their chew in that and they'd wad it up and they'd put just a little bit of chew to be cool because they were in the baseball team. Baseball players did chew, you know that kind of stuff. And it's like so gross. That's such a gross habit. It just is. Come on, it is.
You can give yourself a mouth cancer. But whatever. It is National Periodic Table Day. M there you go. You know, when I first heard about a periodic table, I'm thinking, what do we need a table for? It's a dot, there's a period. What do we need a table with a bunch of dots for? Well? I know, Hama celebrate. I'm gonna sleep outside in the elements tonight. Dude, shit, leave your mic on so that people could hear you laughing at your own jokes. You need, you need, you
need to own those things. Today's National wear red Day. Who knew Tiger Woods celebrating that National fetacini alfredo Day. Put some blackened shrimp or blackened chicken with that, uh huh. And today's National Send a card to a friend Day. By the way, it is a week from today, friends, Husband's serious boyfriends. It's a week from today Valentine's Day. I'm warning you. I'm warning you. More on that on Monday. But I'm telling you don't be that guy. Oh I
don't need anything. Don't you believe it? Don't you buy it? I don't want anything. It's okay, uh uh is no, no, no no. There is not a woman in the world that doesn't appreciate a card, some flowers, something that says you remembered your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. So don't I don't care if she says, don't you get me anything? I'm gonna subtitle that get me something. That's what that means. It means get me something, even if it's a handwritten card.
I mean it's something you make something more. Next week in the Morning show, seventeen Passed the Eye, we come back in the spirit of Valentine's Day, twenty two past the hour. Okay, we're gonna have that conversation someday on the show. We're gonna we're gonna talk about pickles, and I don't like pickles. I the the the remnant of a pickle, the juice on a Chick fil a sandwich, love it, the texture, of a pickle drives me nuts. It's it's very similar to me to the texture of
an onion, a raw onion. It's like the flavor of an onion, no problem texture of it. No, no, no, no, no no. Anyway, jose said to me in the break, don't don't you You make really good pickles, though, And I do make a very good spicy sweet pickle, but that's just what people tell me because I won't eat them. I make them for the family every year or two.
I make these big jars of these things. And uh, they're there's big spears, they're they're they're they're just they're really good, there is They're a spicy sweet and so my son said, you need to market them and call them. Dad hates pickles. And so actually, I've toyed with the idea. There's a farmer's market in the area, and I've toyed it with the idea of just making a select few jars. Here they are, they're ready to open and eat right now. Get them while you while you can, and I'll see
you again in another couple months. That's it. But I don't know, I don't, I don't I don't know if I want to do that. I might want to just make it just for my kids. But anyway, Yeah, I just he wants to make me a Cuban sandwich, and he says I make a very good and I believe him, But I don't make a very good Cuban sandwich. I make the best Uban. The problem with the Cuban sandwich is it inherently is just a little bland, not mine's. I I marinate my pork for four days, yeah, in mohole,
in mohol, Yes, homemade, the whole nine yards. Yeah, and that intrigues me. But you know what I mean. I mean it's okay, you put a little mustard on there, and okay, that's all right. I don't know. I just and don't tell me go here and have a Cuban. I've been there and I've had it. It's still a yawn. I'm sorry, it's just a yawn. One of our research assistants, in fact, one of the research assistant supervisors has been to the Louver in the last Have you ever been overseas?
You ever you ever traveled to No, sir, Yeah, I've I mean I've been on a missions trip and I've been to Mexico. And when I lived in Arizona, my mom would go into Mexico all the time. And it's like, no way we would do that now. And I wouldn't do that. I just I just I don't even like the idea of a cruise ship stopping in Mexico. I just don't. Those tourist spots are not safe anymore anyway. Paris, for all of its decadence, is a place of history,
and the Louver is incredible. Well, apparently the visitors to the Mona Lisa, because everybody that goes to the Louver wants to see the Mona Lisa. It's gotten out of hand. They can't handle the crowds. They are building a separate room for the Mona Lisa alone, and you have to
buy a separate ticket to see it. What do you think it costs for a non European because they have European and non European if you're a member of the European Union, if for a citizen of the European Union versus and we're an outsider, what do you think it would cost us to get into the Louver? One hundred thousand? You're that person? What do you think I paid for this, and you think you got a deal at ten bucks.
You're the person that goes to fifty. Fine, I paid ten bucks and now you feel like it got ripped off. What do you think to kick? A ticket to the Louver costs not one hundred thousand dollars five thousand, no, eight hundred not to get into a museum. Oh, I don't know. It's Paris. Yeah, dude, I seen, I'm not. You've just taught me a lesson. I'm not playing that game with you anymore. It's only about twenty five bucks for a ticket to the Louver. It's crazy, and I
still won't go. Oh I would go. I would if I were in Paris, if I had to be in Paris for some reason, I would absolutely go to the Louver. And I don't know what the admission will be to the Mona Lisa, but yeah, yeah, it's that's pretty cool. The numbers are just aging the number of people that go in to see that. But I mean it's it's the Mona Lisa. I mean, come on, you gotta you gotta see that. It's just and anything that instills the
arts in people, I'm I'm all for. I am twenty seven past the hour, a big time number of stories and the big stories in the press box.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All Right, we gotta move quick because the big stories don't allow me to do a deep dive. They're just so many Welcome friends to the Morning Show. I'm Preston, He's Jose. Judge pushes back the buyout offer on federal workers. This is interesting. This is going to be a tug of war. This is going to be about establishing who
has authority over what parts of government. And again, I just want you to there is there is a press conference yesterday day before going rabbid Democrats sounding like rabid animals, wanting to fire Elon Musk. It doesn't ever be right. Did they forget that a citizen, a non elected member of Congress is allowed to be the Speaker of the House. I almost feel like we need that just to kind of remind them of a few things. They're all angry
about it. Forty thousand Now, in the last couple of days, twenty thousand more federal workers have taken the buyout offer and accepted it. I mean, they're gonna get eight months of full pay and benefits if they quit their jobs. They're going to be taken care of while they look for another job. Awesome. So when the unions, of course, are just going nuts fighting this, a judge has delayed this until Monday, so they have until Monday to declare.
I'm sure there would be another legal maneuver. Then a second federal judge blocks the Trump birthright citizenship order, which is why I had Hans von Spakowsky. If you haven't heard, and you don't know, in order understand the fourteenth Amendment and what it means. These judges are wrong, but I understand why they're wrong. Look, you had a Biden appointed judge, you had a Reagan appointed judge. I think that both said the same thing. This is how long this incorrect
interpretation has existed. It's time to fix it. That's fine. They can put it on hold. That's fine. We'll get it to the Supreme Court, argue it there. And I'm very confident in what our expert, Hans von Spakowski told us. Trust me. They will be writing briefs. Hans and his team will write briefs amicus briefs, and they will be involved in that process. US Army fifteen year high recruiting numbers. They are right now getting three hundred and forty six
soldiers recruited and signing a day a day. These are the highest numbers in fifteen years. And this is just the United States Army. Sixty three percent of voters say the United States government should not do business with companies with anti American programs, Thank you very much. What's crazy is twenty three percent of voters support the government doing businesses with companies that hate the country. And we're not
talking about foreign companies. We're talking about American companies that embrace that team project Crap Pam Bondi on day one, combating the whole weaponization of the legal system, fighting that prosecutors in federal cases, when appropriate, will now seek the death penalty again. And we'll work with Homeland Security to completely eliminate cartels and transnational criminal organizations. It's a good focus.
Joe Biden in his final days, listen to this. Just weeks before leaving three million dollars in cash from taxpayers to the Palestinian Authority security forces to conduct firearms and ammunition training, he gave money to the people that were responsible for carrying out the attacks on Israel. The Republicans need to hammer home all of these ridiculous allocations of money that Democrats are behind. Forty minutes past the hour,
sing it from the rooftops, put it on billboards. I say, have you ever been on a cruise of any kind, little weekend cruise or anything like that?
Uh?
No, sir, I have not had a chance. Yeah, it was a long time ago. Been on a couple of cruises and quasi cruise in high school. We went out to Catalina Island and back and it wasn't It was kind of but it wasn't really it wasn't like that big, but it was a thing. And yeah, just but I'm
not a I mean, I look at these boats. And when my wife and I went to Galveston for our niece's wedding, I got a hotel right there by where the cruise ships dock in Calveston, and and they're incredible to see if you've never seen one in person, like real close, not out there at a distance, but close. They're in an awe inspiring site. You're thinking to yourself, how in the world does this thing float there? They are
remarkably safe, and they're incredibly well equipped. But even the smaller cruise ships which hold you know, three thousand between crew and passengers. That's a lot of people in a very small all space one ship Row Caribbean. I'm just it's just the news. I'm not picking on them because Roal Caribbean's a you know, generally speaking, one of the one of the better cruise lines. Stops two in Mexico, one in Honduras, one in Belize. Seven day Western Caribbean cruise.
More than ninety fell ill with gastro intestinal illness, which tells me it was something they ate and then this stuff passed that gets spread so easily because you're in such close quarters and you remember some of the things that were going on in the early days of COVID and it was like, you know, people being basically kept in quarantine on the ship. And it's just I just first,
no on Mexico. If it stops in Mexico, No, I probably would not go in the winter because it's flu season, even though the seas are calm generally speaking, because your temperatures are a little bit cooler, so usually you have there's a sailing window that usually runs December through May.
That is really good. If I were booking a cruise, I would probably submit that the best time to go would be March April May, because you're kind of out of the flu season, but you're before the water really warming up and you might have some storms that pop up out there. You certainly don't want to be out there July, August, September, October. No, because that's I mean, at least in the Caribbean. No way, no way am I doing that. Your odds have getting blown out out
of one of your ports really high. You just yeah, it's just it's just I don't know. This story just popped out into into my h on my radar because I know that it's it's it's a very popular thing. Cruise lines are just booming in business. If you've never done it, I can see where it might be fun to do. I would I would absolutely make sure I got in the middle of the ship and a outer room, not an inner room. You want windows, you want you
want to see daylight and all of that. Some of those have like little decks and things, now that would be sweet, but never on the bower, the or the uh, the stern you because that's where the rocking happens. So you want it. The closer yard of the middle, the better you're not you're not as prone to being in the motion of the up and down of the ship. But anyway, for whatever it's worth, forty seven past, can we come back? Yeah, stick around. We didn't get a
chance to talk about this with JD. Johnson on Wednesday in our Personal Defense segment. But another situation where a country that has fairly tight gun controls and they are now allegedly going to make them tighter. Sweden had to endure a mass shooting killing on a school campus. Ten dead, don't know or care if the gunman was one of them. It would appear the thirty five year old loner had an issue with immigrants and so he decided to kill them.
At least that was his first victim. Some comments he made would indicate that. But it just it amplifies for me once again that we're still not addressing this issue correctly in our schools. We don't have the right mindset yet as a culture. And it's just so important because the tendency here is to buy into this ridiculous pie in the sky idea if we just get rid of all guns. No, John Lennon, that's not going to happen. You can imagine all you like, it's not going to happen.
Our founders wanted all of us to understand for all of time that God allows this country to exist. When civilians do not have a means to protect themselves, governments become tyrannical. They looked at what happened in England, they looked at what happened in France, they looked at what happened throughout European history in their time, and what they learned in their schooling and education and reading, and they recognized, you know, not only is it okay to have a militia,
not only is it appropriate. I mean everyone needs a gun to hunt to feed their family. But that does that's that's a that's a presupposition. Guns are needed by the citizenry as a check and balance against a government going rogue. Joe Biden joked about it. We can do against the tank, what are you gonna do against it? Shut up? The truth of the matter is the overwhelming number of sheriffs and police and and members of the military are going to agree with us first and foremost.
But secondly, I'll still take us. I will if you really want to get down to it. But sadly, Sweden's going the other way, and it's it's not going to it's it's just going to make things more difficult. It's going to create more opportunities because bad people with bad intentions will always find a way to get Hey, gun, all right, here's what I want to do. Get the phone lines open. We got the call screen already. It's
eight five zero two zero five WFLA. I want to know what you think of Trump's idea on the Gaza strip. I would love to get what you're thinking. World leaders in the Middle East are, of course saying it's ridiculous that we will not allow it. Is Trump just tweaking him to get something moving? Is he serious? Is he going to do it? And if he does, what do you think? Dumb idea or kind of brilliant or somewhere in between. What are your thoughts. I've already got a
working title. I'll tell you about it next eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. I want to hear from you now. All right, ruminators, here we go. It's your chance to ruminate and then share what you're thinking it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott eas Ose taking your calls eight five zero two zero five to BFLA. We
have one line open Jeff, then Gerald, then Lorie. But before we begin, I just thought I would throw out my idea for what we need to develop there if we in fact are going to do this. Donald Trump has proposed that the United States just take over. Now, I don't know if they can just do that. I mean, Israel did it with a war in nineteen sixty seven. I think it was. But hey, you know, I mean his point is real simple. What's been going on for the last last sixty years or so isn't working, So
let's try something different. There are some that think he's just trying to push people into action, that that will come to the table and then seriously try to find a solution. Others say, no, it's Trump. So my suggestion is based on now it's Trump. The Gaza Strip Mall. Just turn it into the biggest retail strip mall in the world, like one of those outlets, little little outlet for every company in the world to just put their
stuff right there, the Gaza Strip Mall. I mean, look, it's either the gaza strip as in wompam or it's the gossip strip mall. I'm just saying, let's go to Jeff. Jeff, thanks for calling again your thoughts here.
Yeah, I thought i'd mentioned the last thing you said when you went off the air, is that bad people with bad intentions, you know, will we'll always find a way to get a gun. But on the flip side too, and I agree with that, But on the flip side, too, good people with good intentions will always find a gun, just like our forefathers did when yep, they took over British armories to gain armaments. Anyway, on the Gazza thing,
we've spent billions to have rubble. Why don't we give a shot and spend millions to get some sense in order to gaza.
Yeah, I'm just wanting to hear what you think of the notion any fears of you know, major players in the area. Islamis in particular saying no no more imperialism of the Americas.
Well, I think what he's talking about. I heard what he said. He said he was going to get part such as cutter. Uh you know, uh, Saudi Arabia, those have it to to help not just all on America's back.
Right, Well, I don't know. I mean, Jeff, thank you. He said, we will take responsibility for all of it. Now that may involve partners, but he said it's on us to clear the land, to make it safe, to to level it, to rebuild. Maybe we'll get a some contract, but as of right now, the Saudis want no part of it. The Saudi's are saying no on the front end. Now. I listened to Derek Van Orden, who's been on this show, former Navy seal, now a representative from Wisconsin. He said
Saudi's will come along. He said, no, they're just they're posturing. They're they're they're going to come along. I don't know. Before we begin with Gerald's comments, happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, you crazy wacky collar Gerald. Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, Kylie, you're wellcated, You're welcome. My first thoughts are, first of all, just as a preface, I don't think Donald hasn't done it. I think he sought this out pretty well before he suggested it. The second thing is is how they're going to pay for it, and how they're going to keep the bad guys out now, unless there's a lot of that oil underneath there, and they're going to back up trucks and do that and sell the oil and do that. And I don't know how
they're going to keep the bad guys at it. You know, they're not the very rational, most rational of people out there. So that's just off the top of my head. And thank you for the wishes, gentlemen.
I appreciate it absolutely. Gerald, Happy birthday. Thanks for calling in. Lorie. Hang on, it's ten past the hour. You are going to be next? What about you? Eight five zero two zero five to WFLA. What are your thoughts on the Gaza Strip?
Mall Audio magazine A journey into whatever is left of journalism and always pointing out and correcting what is not. The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Love to hear your thoughts on the Kaza Strip and President Trump's ideas. It'll all get settled, whether we can do it or not, whether we should do it or not, and all that. I just want to know what your thoughts are on the possibilities of trying something so unique and different to bring some sense of stability. His point is everyone can live there anyone. Palestinians can live there, Jews can live there. It's fine, just not going to
allow terrorists to rule that area anymore. Laurie, thanks for calling. What do you think?
Good morning, Preston. When I heard what he was thinking about or mentioned a few days ago, I thought it was a crazy idea at first, But now, after thinking about it for a few days, I think it might be able to work. But they're going to have to get rid of the monster in the living room first,
which would be Iran. And then since it's such a warlike area, they might have to do what they did to Japan after World War Two to demilitarize it and make it so that it can't make war anymore, and then it may have a chance to be successful, just as Japan has.
Let me ask you this, When you say get rid of Iran, explain.
Financially cripple it like you did.
Last time, you're just saying negate Iran's ability to be part of the problem. That's right, gotcha go.
He had it back when he was in office, before he had put all those sanctions on him, and they really couldn't do a whole lot, And then Biden gave them all that money and now they're on the move again, so they need to do something to control that threat.
Yeah, Ron is a problem, and you've got to You've got to eliminate its ability to fund Hamas has blah what anyone that's going to be an interference to any any progress or piece there. Laurie, thank you. I appreciate that. Let's go to John, Hi.
John preson morning.
Yeah. I think it's a wonderful idea, and when they demonstrate that it can be done, I think they ought to move on to Detroit and the mother select cities in this country.
You know, once I heard your voice, John, and I knew it was you. I knew we were going to have a wonderful moment moment here.
Well, I appreciate y'all looking at it that way.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you, John. Move on to Detroit, genius. Speaking of Detroit actually is making some headway. And here's the problem Detroit faces. It's in Michigan. And as long as Michigan is run by people like Gretchen Whitmer and allows entire cities and communities to be taken over by Islamis that do not agree with our way of governing that do not believe in free and open religion. You got a problem. But I appreciate the phone call.
You know, I've Jose loves the idea. He thinks it's awesome. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but he's he's expressed to me off air. He thinks it's a great idea. I don't know enough about look saying we're gonna do something is one thing I want to know specifics. I mean, Israel pulled out of the Gaza years ago, so who who in fact whose land is it? There are? And I know the temptation is to start singing the song this land is your land, this land
is my land. From anyway, I just you've got to understand the region. Simply put, Palestinians believe it's their land. Israeli's believe it's their land. Anyone that lives in the region thinks it's their land. I mean, everybody seemingly feels like it's their land. You want Palestinians to have a homeland. The two states solution that everyone's pointing to. First of all, that strip of land is not a solution. It's not big enough to be a solution. And every single time
and history, some effort is made to settle it. It's been turned into ruins every time I looked up and printed the history of that area, and it's mind numbing. I feel as though we need to maybe do that. Now. You're welcome to call in if you want way in, but if not, when we come back the history of Gaza, I'm going to go through some of the notes I
have unless you call in. Now, if you call in, I want to take your calls first on what you think of the idea the United States taking responsibility to develop the Gaza Strip Mall seventeen past the hour eight five zero two zero five WFL, getting lots getting lots of interesting calls and email on the Gaza Strip and what to do. One suggestion that I thought might be worth rewracking was the idea of just turning it into
a Disney theme park of the Middle East. Yeah, can you imagine the Tower of Terror and just recreating nine to eleven, right, and and that what they would do. I mean, yeah, let's do that. Good grief. Now I get the idea. But yeah, let's let's go back to the phone line here, and let's start with Sherry Good morning, Hey Preston.
Good morning. So I listened to your last segment. We were talking about whose land is it? And I thought, well, what about the United Nations. Let's kick them out of America and put the United Nations in Gaza. There'd be all the protection all the world there, and just think of the security.
Or or lack thereof, or lack there up.
But they'd have to handle the problems, right, all the blue helmets would be there. They'd have to handle the situation. So President Trump's a visionary. Maybe he'll he'll consider that idea, you know what.
I'll tell you what as as you said that the idea first all in favor of relocating the UN from America, say, I exactly opposed. It carries so we know we want to do that. Moving it there, that has some gravitas to it. I like it. Well done. You let's go to Joe. Joe, what do you got?
Good boaring in Preston morning.
Yeah. I was thinking, We've done neighborhood restoration projects all over the country, even here in Tallasfe, and it doesn't really help a lot to do anything unless the people's hearts and minds are changed. I mean, it's got to be the people there. You can't just go in there and build something or make some fancy mall and everybody's going to be happy and change their minds. How you know, they've been through it. They're not going to stop thinking
about it. It's not gonna help putting anything there until you change their hearts and minds.
Thank you, Joe, appreciate that. Yeah, there's a lot of I guess, common sense to what you're saying. The counter argument to that is there's nothing there now. People aren't there now. That place is leveled, it's destroyed. I don't know what part of Gaza is standing. And I'm serious, I don't know. You know this is, this has been and what Here's what's what I think factors into the discussion.
This will be our last caller here, Cindy standby. I think what factors into this discussion is nothing has prevented routine, repetitious, consistent destruction of the area. Nothing will this. I don't know, Cindy, what do you think?
Yes, I kind of agree with the previous caller, and that was kind of what I was going to say, because I like Trump's idea. I even like your idea, but the problem is this is not a war of years, this is a war of centuries. And the problem is you need to change the mindset. Can we do that? I doubt it because centuries. I don't really know what because no matter where they go, they're always looking to fight, whether you give them money or you don't give them money.
So what do you do?
How do you change the mindset?
Yeah, and that's Cindy. That is my concern with us spending resources of any kind over there, oversight, managerial assistance. Okay, if they want it. I'd even throw in a few architects, you know, designers. But Rand Paul has a point. He said, I thought we were America first. We've got problems here in America. The counter to that is a destabilized Middle East is a huge problem to America. See, it's not it's not as clear cut as anyone wants to make it.
Whether it's Donald Trump, or whether it's Rand Paul, or whether it's Democrats or Republicans, whether it's Jews and Islam. It's just it doesn't it's there's nothing simple about this. And what a lot of people don't factor in this goes back to Biblical times. There is a deep hatred for the Jews that is placed in the heart of islamis children from their toddler age. Twenty minutes past the hour, interesting half hour. Thank you for your phone calls and
your suggestions. Back with more of the Morning Show.
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Insert rock and roll screen. All right, it's thirty seven past the hour, just a little bit away from what's the be Friday. Whatever you want to complain about, you can do that. We'll do the history of Gaza maybe next week on the show. So much to talk about. Florida Man coming up in just a few minutes. Always always a good time there. I'm actually a little behind. I did some editing in the break and I should have been doing some other things, all right, quickly. Joe
Biden is a parting gift. I mean, what do you give the people as a gift who were responsible for invading Israel and killing a bunch of people in the attack? Why you give them three million dollars so they can train some more. Joe Biden, weeks before leaving, funneled more than three million dollars in tax payer money to the Palestinian Authority security forces. According to a non public notice
transmitted to Congress reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Those funds allowed the Palestinian Authority security forces to conduct quote, firearms and ammunition training, and this came after the attacks against these He put his signature on it. It's on him. They got him. Mercy on his soul. There's a delay in the buyout of federal workers until Monday. Judge put a halt to the ending last night at midnight. I guess was the deadline. He's extended it or he extended
it to Monday. Unions are fighting it. Democrats are fighting it. They don't want the big government state dismantled. Now again, I think Trump could have really handled this just a little differently. But I get why he's doing it now, and he could prove to be right. I would have grown the private sector a little bit first and then said you've got a year, and I would have settled all the legally shoes up front, and then I'd had taken a knife to it and started cutting friends. It's
what a butcher does. He trims fat. Butcher's trim fat off meat, and that's what we have to do. Army is at a fifteen year high in recruiting. That's incredible. Sixty three percent of voters say the United States government should not do business with any company in America that is anti American. Those that engage in diversity, equity inclusion policies should have no role in getting any taxpayer dollars. None.
Department of Justice Day one directives, fight weaponization of Justice, Eliminate the cartels, and lifting the ban on the death penalty for federal crimes that meet the standard and threshold. Forty minutes after the hour, those are your big stories in the press box, w u f LA. Just a little note here that I haven't gotten to this week. There are there are some reports saying that in part of his negotiation with Panama, which Fox News affectionately refers
to as Pamama, Mana sounds like my granddaughter. My granddaughter when she uh when she's looking for my wife says my mama, mama, Ma, ma, ma, mama. Grandmama is not not a thing yet, so ma ma, ma mama. I took a picture of it. Jose was laughing. He said, you got to see this on Fox News just twenty minutes ago. Today, Trump to speak with Pamena's president panamena ba but pamama na da da, and that the song. Anyway.
Part part of the deal is going to be that we will be able to pass our naval ships through the canal at no charge. We pay between two and a half and three million dollars a year to move ships through the canal, US navy ships, just navy. That will now be a free See, we're saving taxpayer money right there, the art of negotiations. All right, friends, gather around the radio, tune up your voices. Let's see if you read something insane. I probably did it. I'm fat of the block is.
Go ahead and google my name.
Don't got my name? Now there is no man to the sins I have committed.
And we all feel better when we would have somebody to play.
Whatever.
All right, time for Florida man, and in this case Florida man and woe man. This is brilliant. Now, some of you send me stories, and I will push away from stories. Usually where there's somebody who gets hurt. Seriously, somebody dies for you know, no matter how stupid it may be, we try to avoid tragedies. This one is not a tragedy, though it very easily could have been. Sixty six year old Judy Lee was sitting in the living room in her favorite chair, and with her was
her forty six year old son, Michael Lee. What could happen with a mother and son just enjoying time together in the living room. Well, the problem started when old Judy lit up a heater. She decided she wanted to smoke a cigarette. Michael, apparently, according to Sheriff's Deputies, which tells you where this is going, has asthma. Now one would think if he does that, a sixty six year old mother would know by now. Well, she didn't respond kindly.
When he brought out the air freshener and started spraying, she did what every mother would do. She pulled out her handgun and fired shots at her son. That's the most Florida thing I've heard in a long time. Oh mind, Oh wait, wait, We're not done. We're not done. He did what any good Floridian would do. He retreated to his bedroom and drew his firearm and began to return fire. Dear old Mom didn't like somebody shooting back, so she fled to the neighbors.
Oh.
I forgot to mention that when this was going on, there was a twelve year old family member inside the house as well, maybe her grandson, granddaughter. I don't know. No one was hurt. Judy Lee was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and child neglect. Michael Lee was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and child neglect. Doesn't it just paint the picture? Huh? Doesn't it? You could just you can almost see the home,
the furniture, the setting. It's just you can see it. You can. And then Michael Jordan's son Marcus arrested on multiple charges here in Florida, including cocaine possession. He's having a tough time being the sun and you know, I don't know. It didn't help things when he started to date and got engaged to his dad's teammate's ex wife, Scottie Pippen. He and Michael won some rings together. Yeah,
scott and his wife divorced. His wife was kind of a player and Scotty was having to know more of it, and so Michael's son was like, hey, I'll take a claim. I got DIBs, And so they became a thing in that strained relationships and he's a train wreck hope things work out for him. But yeah, Florida man, Come on, Marcus Jordan now a Florida man. Yeah, forty eight passed the hour. We'll get you ready for what's to be Friday next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott
Show with Preston Scott. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
On news Radio one hundred point seven doufla, George is lonely.
He's hanging out on hold all by himself, and he's looking around like, what's up? Why am I the only one in line? Are they doing the show that there's nobody else here? You ever had that happen when you show up somewhere and you were wrong by like a day or a week or a month. Oh it's not it's not today, okay, And you just try to figure out a way to explain your foolishness. Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA, what's the beef? In just a little bit? Now being reported usaid us aid the
absurd extension of the Secretary of State's office. Now, would you find it interesting that a report from author journalist Liz Kroken Croaking said that USAID gave Chelsea Clinton tens of millions of dollars and partnered with the Clinton Foundation. Well, let's think about that. Who is the secretary of State. Maybe when some of that money was going, oh Hillary Clinton.
And you've heard us point out to you that donations to the Clinton Foundation all but dried up once she left office, when she didn't win the presidency, when she was no longer the secretary of State, when Bubba wasn't interesting anymore, it was it's the money's dried up. What does that tell you that all of the claimed altruistic reasons why people were giving money was just a front. They were giving money for access to the Secretary of State, ergo the president of the United States. It was pay
to play at its worst. And it looks like Chelsea Clinton received a stunning eighty four million dollars in tax money, allegedly to help the poor orphans get fed in Haiti, to be housed in Haiti, and Judicial Watch said that she used some of the finances to pay for her wedding, which was three million dollars, and to help with the cost of a home which was ten don't know, that's what Judicial Watch has posted. Yeah, that I outa do.
U.
Please don't try to argue that the government is not needing to be trimmed dramatically. Please don't do that, because you're just gonna make yourself look silly and uninformed. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. We now have one line open right now. There's no name on that line. It could have your name. Seriously, what's the b Friday's next? Call us? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Well, okay,
then let's do this. Lines are full. Make note of the number eight five zero two zero five WFLA. It is. What's the be Friday? Whatever you want to get off your chest, we're here for you. Just two rules. No profanity, and don't make it personal. If you haven't, even if you're complaining about me, that's fine. Just don't make it personal. You have a bad experience in a business, that's fine, Just don't name the business, don't make it personal. Let's
go to the phone line standing by waiting. The longest is George, Good morning, sir, welcome and what's the beef?
Good morning? Pressing, Well, my beef is more of an observation on one of your news stories yesterday about heart disease being the leading cause of death of people forty and under in Leon County, not forty under.
It was just a little it's just the leading cause of death in general, but that more forty year olds on up are getting help with their heart disease versus usually it's sixty up. Now it's forty to sixty.
Yeah, and I imagine and that was for Leon County. Multiply that by sixty seven counties in the state and all the counties in the country. I'm wondering what the correlation is with the the quote unquote vaccine, because it's you know, the the specialists that I know that that you know advised me not to get it. Then I wasn't going to do it anyway. It's the deaths, particularly between eighteen and twenty four year olds, is alarming for us. And it's, uh, you know, when we don't hear anything
about it. And so I'm you know, if I was a batman, I'd be betting that there is a direct correlation with with the vaccine and that the reason that this increase in the age drop with it. But on another note, I can promise you Chelsea Clinton didn't use any of that ideal gotten money for any cosmetic surgery.
She was like that the shots fired.
Yeah, And then with your Florida man's story, you had a division with the you know, you could see the setting and the furniture and all that, and the only even missing was the fanjos from Deliverance. So y'all have a great wish to.
Thank you, George. Appreciate the phone call, and freeze up a line. Let's go to William.
Hello, William, Hey Preston, good morning, good morning. I'm doing great. I'm loving what Trump and the Elon are doing. But my question is, and my beef is what the heck were the Republicans and all these oversight committees doing for the last fifteen twenty years. And I know the answer is they're just some of them are just as corrupt as the Democrats. But there's a few that are supposed to be, like the Lee's and the and the and the Jordans and the Ted Cruises and all of them like,
and now they're coming out. People are coming out like, oh I knew this was happening, or I've been you know, I've been saying this for years. Well, then what why didn't you do anything about it? I mean you literally, like, what are they doing on these oversight committees? They're supposed to be looking out for this stuff and they're not. And then they come out and say, oh, well we knew what was happening all the time. Well then what
the heck? I mean these people should be not only were all Democrats and running these agencies, but the Republicans that just sit by and just watch it happen or you know, profit from it too. They need to be held accountable. And people need to go to jail because it's never gonna stop and people until people start going to jail.
I think you're on to why President Trump fired all but one or two inspectors General. Yeah, I think, I mean, I think that's the gist of it. William, Thanks very much. I appreciate it. John Matt Taylor your next what about you? It's eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. We're gonna create a bigger island of time. Coming up next, Quick check of weather and traffic here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Wherever you may be from Florida Sunshine State to California. Hey, scratch that, California is hopeless. For the rest, we're your morning show, The Morning Show.
With Preston Scott. What's the beef Friday? Back to the phone lines we go. John has been patiently waiting. Good morning, sir, welcome and what's the beef now?
Good morning?
Pressing.
My beef is with people who unnecessarily scare kids with such things as existential threats of climate change. Well, the climate has been changing since the Earth has been created. But problems that they could fix that they deal with every day. Their children are more likely to be hurt in an automobile accident, and they pay very little attention to their own driving. I see it every day. They're watching their cell phone screen.
Yep.
Not looking through the windshield is called driving. People not writing. You have an accelerator, you have a break, use them a turn signal, use it. Be courteous, Pay attention to what's going on. Driving is the most dangerous thing you will do day in and day out. Your children are more likely to be hurt in a wreck than they are in a school shooting. Take that to the bank. Pay attention to your driving. Five say people, y'all have a good weekend.
How dare you junk dismissed the value of climate changeing global warming?
How tell you ruining.
The future for US kids?
It is an.
Extensative existing. I don't know what the word means, but they sit for.
Me to sit.
Let's go to bat. That frees up a line eight five zero two zero five w FLA, Matt, you're up. What's the beef?
Heorry? President?
I'm gonna try to get this off of my chest. Currently got a whole bunch of rage against this USAID and politic analytic political partnership. You know, you see the mainstream media where they getting all their talking points, Well maybe that's that super subscription that they get for thirty seven thousand dollars a year.
Crazy.
This whole, the whole.
System of the usai D has been a money tree for these drunken politicians.
For so many years.
And we can't just cut the tree down. We got to get to the roots of it. We need to go check the receipts where all these programs are. Because you know, the left or the politicians in general, they like to play with language, distort words, try to find new meanings.
For words.
Let's see if they.
Can find a new meaning for the word larceny, embezzlement, racketeering, and bribery in there. And just like your second caller said, these people need to go to jail, not just out of spite or retribution, but they need to go to jail as a de turret to let everybody know this can't happen again.
Completely agree, man well said, thank you very much. Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. Let's go to Taylor. Taylor Europe. What's the beef?
Hey, good morning, presson. My beef is with our friends on the other side who are complaining about the deportations because they say it will deplete the workforce behind the agriculture and industry and like janitorial and garbage services. I've heard them say that Americans don't want to work those jobs because they pay poorly. My question to them is isn't that just a form of like modern day slavery or servitude?
Absolutely that look there, the Democrats are still wanting to keep a group of people to pick their.
Crops as a voting block too.
Yep, Absolutely, you are correct. Thank you Taylor. Appreciate the phone call. Let's see you here. We're gonna fit one more call in in this break. Paul, you're up. What's the beef?
Good morning. Pleasure to talk to your sir on the scale of things important. This may sound trivial, but I want to Lambasser radio station as they transmit FSU basketball the Georgia Tech game. They didn't get the whole second half the Virginia Tech game. They didn't get the whole second half in the postgame, and then finally Notre Dame. The game didn't come on until eight minutes to go in the game, and they missed the postgame as the
Fight Supes basketball. I didn't understand why they can't transmit the local radio coverage of the game. I like knowing you you investigame, find out this is a repetitor problem. I like you to solve it. So dieheard and listen to the game locally on the radio.
Okay, here's what I now. Listen very carefully to what I'm going to ask you to do. All right. I knew of it. I knew of one problem with a men's basketball game where it was about a two and a half minute window where we lost.
Heykay, this hush.
That's my point is that's all we have heard of. If there are other incidents, I need you to send me an email and I need you to note the games and what happened for each game, and then I can have it addressed.
I appreciate it.
Just send it to me Preston at iHeartRadio dot com, and you have my word. It will get investigated.
Hi, I appreciate it. Learn you and listen to the show all the time. Man, have a good day.
Hey, thank you, Paul. I appreciate it as well. Yeah, we can take it if something like look like I said, I knew of something that happened where we lost the signal at a really bad time in a very tight game for like two two and a half minutes something like that. But what you're describing I've not heard and we've had no emails on that. So I just want to rule out that it was a drop in your stream if you're streaming it. And and Paul, here's another thing.
Make sure you put whether you're listening on the radio or whether you're listening on stream. Are you listening on the FSU website, are you listening on ours? Detail what you were listening to and if you forget that stuff, I'll send you a couple questions back. We have more calls coming. Shannon, is that Houston? Houston? Okay? And we had somebody else, but we've got one line open eight five zero two zero five to b fla.
Ex Google Home, Xbox and Sono Santiheart's radio station.
Four more callers standing by, have time permit. It's a couple of email. This morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you. What's the Bee Friday. It's a it's a weekly event and we take calls with people that just want to get some things said off their chest and we'll go back to the line. Shannon standing by. You're on the air, Shannon.
Yeah.
My beef is with the legislature and their recent behavior. It is very disconcerting to me that the Republicans in the state of Florida put a mandate up that we expected them to be working in support of President Trump, and they gabbled out of the out of the special
session as soon as they can. They substitute a bill that is basically an immigrant amnesty bill, and now there are and they are most of the people who voted for it, voted yes for it did not even read the bill, including the representative from my part of the state here in the Panhandle. And I want them to know that we expect them to do what Trump and what they what they ran on that they were going to support and support his his mandates.
Thank you, Shannon Uh. They'll tell you they did what Trump asked, that they had a phone call with Trump and change the bill. What's missing is what the governor recommended and what FHP would want, and so there's there's definitely some disconnect there. We'll talk about that Monday with sal Newzo in our legislative session preview. All right, huston, eure up, hi hi there, what's what do you want to complain about?
So my bak is be raised over ninety thousand dollars for our booster song and we we only got like mulch they be for our playground. But all they got off was just mulch and that was it. I think they just kicked to offer themselves.
And the day Wait a minute, what playground is this?
Gil Chris to gil Chris Playgrounds?
So gil Christ Elementary School had a fundraiser to make the playground better. You raised ninety thousand dollars, and all you can see is the result. The result of it is more rubber mulch.
Yeah whoa.
Okay, so every every single year.
Okay, Well, here's what I can tell you. Members of the school board listen to the show, and so they have heard your complaint, and hopefully we'll see what happens. Thank you for calling in. I appreciate it. Have a good day, Houston, appreciate it very very much. See there
you go. That's a future leader. You know why? Number one, aware of cost benefit Number two listening to the morning show, which might actually be reversed listening to the morning show, and that helps young people become aware of things like this. Hey hey, hey, hey, we raised money for this. Now mulch, rubber mulch. Now what I can tell you depending on the size of the playground. Yeah, ninety thousand still doesn't explain that. That's just I'm just guessing though I haven't
priced rubber mulch in a while. Two more calls, Robbie, you're up.
More impressed than my beef. I actually got two beefs so quick. First one is my beef with seeing Chuck Schumer on national television with his little cronies actually to be one of them on on the out outside of a building or a sidewalk protesting, you know, against Donald Trump. I mean, this man is never gonna work with Trump. But you know, I remember back when uh he was telling people the judges that Trump on the Supreme Court, if you don't do that, it just it just puts
people's lives in danger. And I believe they're looking into that now. And then I can also go back and recall makes some Waters doing the same thing, telling people to get in people's faces. Yep, a gas station.
I mean that should be a Nihle.
Hey your phone? Where your phone starting to break up? So I just need you to be real quick on number two.
Okay, people need to both both them out. Remember that number two is you know, we we've got to uh, we've got to realize that the GOP is gonna have to get on on board here. You know, we had a big movement going on here with Trump and he needs all the sport he can get, so that GOP needs to wake up and get it in gear.
Thank you, sir. I gotta move on. Final caller here, and I got about thirty seconds.
Troy, you're up, Yes, I just.
Wanted to bring attention and maybe bring up the ladder. I was wondering if Trump or Pam BONDI would do anything about the grand jury proceedings. I know that they're secret proceedings and they don't make the transcripts available to the public or to most defense attorneys.
I would like to know if there would be.
Anything coming out on secret proceedings and grand juries and allowing defense attorneys and defendants to come before you know the probable cause of the grand jury to get you indicted on criminal charges like they did Trump And.
Yeah, Troy, here's what I can tell you about grand jury proceedings. There's a reason why defense isn't involved because it's not a trial. I was a grand juror. The grand jury determines whether or not the state has a sufficient case to bring whatever the charge might be, and then the trial takes place and it's either proven or not in the trial. The grand jurors have no say on the guilt or innocence whatsoever. They determine whether there
is probable cause to move ahead with the charges. So that's why I personally wouldn't favor making a change in that. That's the purpose of a grand jury before you go to the expense in trouble of a trial? Is there a case thirty minutes past the hour? Yeah, we're that late. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Time for the best and worst of the week. Quickly, jose you are up, my friend.
What's your best and worst? Alrighty? My best for the week is the great job that Donald Trump and Elon Musk and everybody else are doing in the government. Never thought government could move that fast, blowing my mind really. And the worst for the week was Wednesday in that toothache. Oh that was no one, But thanks for the support everybody. Yeah, uh, still has the tooth, still has the problem, but a different antibiotic and a little pain Matt, Have you had
to pop a pain pill? No, no, the answer and the anti inflammatories have been been working, marvels. Wonderful, wonderful. My worst of the week is that it took an executive order to correct women and the protection of women's sports. It took a presidential executive order for the NCAA to do the right thing. You know, it's so funny. As they argued that well, we just didn't want to be sued. Dude, You're gonna be sued no matter what you do, so you do the right thing. This was so I mean,
Trump said it multiple times at the event. And by the way, I was geeked when he called out Riley Gaines and gave her a pen. He had a bunch of pens that he gave out. It was an incredible photo op surrounded by a bunch of little girls at play sports. And then he pointed to Riley and you could tell she's very honored. And then he said Riley at Penn and yeah, well we'll we'll talk with Riley about that, and we have her back on the show. My best of the week is one of the big
stories in the press box. Army recruiting is at a fifty teen year high. Donald Trump confirmation of Pete Hegseith as the Defense Secretary. Yeah he's young, but you know what, he's one of them. He gets it and he's not going to put up with any nonsense. This is about the defense of this nation. So that's my best of the week. Recruiting numbers are up since Trump got elected. Now they're up to the highest they've been in the army in fifteen years. I think that that'll do. Forty
minutes past the hour. Come back with some good news here in the Morning Show with Preston scott Man. I'm sore. I'm in week two of a new fitness regimen and I'm sore. And that's good. As I said to my wife, that means there's still something there. Yeah. It wasn't just putting on seven pounds in the holidays that I'm now slowly losing. It's that I've I've watched too many people in grocery stores. I've watched too many people that I know as they age, they start getting bent over, they
start getting shorter, they start losing flexibility. And I noticed it in myself over the last few years, and so I am doing things specific, workout regiments to defeat that issue the best I can hold it at Bay. Keep my flexibility, keep my balance, because those are things that view of your independence, and so I am very focused on that, and I'm hurting. I just am Monday on the program. Salnuzo will join us. We've got the executive director of Consumer's Defense and this will be our final
visit before the legislative session. Begins. Can you believe it? We're almost there, and there is a ton to talk about. Some of it came up during What's the Beef, so we'll have that conversation. Our good news segment is a little different, and an American Airlines flight flying from Jacksonville
to Miami, and everybody is lauding this pilot. Before they took off, he wanted to talk to everybody on board the plane because this was after the accident and the loss of all those lives and best you can check out what he had to say.
Maybe I'm fearful about flying, and that's certainly understandable, but just please know that my first officer and our fly attendants and myself please your safety. The responsibility of carrying you to my engine, to your family, as your vacations, your beats you at the highest level. I have no higher calling than carefully and professionally transporting you today. So with that, relax and enjoy the beautiful again that we get to fly in.
We'll be under wish.
I'm welcome apart.
Yeah, everybody, I have no higher calling than the carefully professionally transporting you today. So with that, relax, enjoy the beautiful evening that we get to fly in will begin shortly and welcome aboard. That is a professional pilot, understand because everyone was saying there was a really eerie quiet on the plane, and he knew it. The flight attendants knew it, everybody knew it, and he just recognized the moment and he took the time to assuage the fears
and nervousness of people on board that plane. I don't know who he is, but well done. And the fact that we have professionals in all different kinds of trades and industries that have awareness of what's going on around them and can read the room, well that's good news. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, all right, we'd like to end the week with a dad joke. And this one actually came from a television show I was watching with my wife. I had pause, and that's
the beauty of of you know, certain television programming. Now you can or or tech technology, you can pause and rewind and go, wait, what was that? Because that was funny and and so I actually wrote it down, and so here's our dad joke. Do you know what the Hamburger says when he introduces his wife, meet Patty. I was gonna say nice to meet you for whatever reason. Me, Patty, that's so good on so many levels. All right, it's time for your My, our trusted source for satire ladies
and gentlemen. It's time for headlines courtesy of the Babylon b The entire federal workforce replaced by one sixteen year old Chick fil A employee to announce they've given up completely. The Democrat National Committee selects David Hogg as vice chair. Pope Francis demands God removed walls surrounding heaven. Wife helpfully explains to husband what he meant by what he said.
This is Deei's fault. Christ Trump, after not getting any pickles on Big Mac Punk Satni Phil deported after birth certificate, reveals he's from Canada. Illegally illegal immigrants helpfully wave flags so Ice knows where to send them. Zelenski asked US for twenty billion to find out where that missing one hundred billion went. Trump announces he will lift tariffs on Canada just as soon as they win the Stanley Cup. Scholars believe Moses' speech impediment was actually a Jersey accent.
Trump becomes first fascist in history to reduce size of government. Canada caves to Trump agrees to take seth Rogen back. Liberals outraged as Trump says men can't punch women in the face for sport. Sad with US aide shut down. This Ecuadorian child may never know what gender he is. And finally, and finally, new white Noise machine helps men sleep by playing soothing sounds of an m one garrand.

I'm still laughing at waving the flag. So Ice goes word that it's so good and probably so accurate. I mean, there are two things you do if you're really trying to zero in on this. You go to a soccer game any USA friendly with Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, you know, any of these Central American South American countries. Man, Just head to the stadiums walk through, walk you know, dress up as a fall frosty malt sales guy. You know, a vendor selling popcorn, popcorn had Dutch trust the malt man.
I see your identification, sir. That would be so good.
Ah.
Today the big stories in the press box Army recruitment at a fifteen year high. The what else we got here? Birthright citizenship? Second judge weighs in, so Trump Trump knew this was coming. It's going to head to the US Supreme Court. It's just a matter of how quickly. Sixty three percent of voters say the US government should not do business with companies that hate us. What a novel IDEA judge push back the federal buyout of employees says
they've got till Monday. Something else will come up on Monday. Just you can almost write that down. Unions, Democrats hate this. They hate reducing the size of government. Biden administration funneled three million to Palestinians for their security forces for training weeks before he left office. He's rearming and helping the people that helped kill all the Israelis. Covered a lot of other ground great calls during What's the Beef, and of course had some fun talking about the Gaza strip.
Mall friends, have a great weekend.
