Yeah, that'll get it done. That is going back in the vault a bit Carmen and Jericho, the shout of Victory. The principles that we live by today are established in the history of the Old Testament, and so there is where we start our day. I know it's long, it's late, but that's okay. It's my show. It's Friday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Sold Is.
We're gonna run a little long here because there's not a punch to talk about in history, so we'll just kind of, you know, we'll be on time. It's all right. It is February fourteenth. It is Valentine's Day, but what else is it? Eighteen forty nine, James Polk becomes the
first president be photographed in office eighteen fifty nine. Ten years later, Oregon becomes the thirty third state, Arizona becomes the forty eighth state in nineteen twelve, and in nineteen sixty two, millions tune in to watch First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy host the first televised tour of the White House. That had to be crazy to see people for the first time that have never traveled to see the White House get a tour of it on television. That's nuts.
And of course it is Valentine's Day. Guys, you're in your final hours here, It's all I can tell you. You got hours left. Yesterday I got to drop off a little Valentine's gift from my wife and I too our granddaughter who lives here in town. And of course it is a little bit like tying a pork chop around a kid to get the dog to play with him. You know, I've got something in in my lap, so my granddaughter will sit with me. She's such a she
is a delight. Today is National Creamfield Chocolate's Day, it is National Ferris Wheel Day, and it is National organ Donor Day, which I think is a very cool connection to Valentine's Day. All right, sixteen minutes past the hour, back with an amazing story from history next on the Morning Show. My wife has been giving me Valentines postcards in little envelopes every day all week and they're going to continue into next week. Every day I have a
new envelope with a new card. These are vintage little sweet postcards. I mean vintage. They're not these things go back fifty sixty years something like that. They're crazy the best. She's just the best, honey. Ill of you and a happy Valentine's Day. United Prayer Summit this weekend if you are in the Tallassee area, it is Sunday at three point thirty at the moon three thirty to five. Doors open at three and so it's just a time to come together and pray for the nation. So you can
check that out. I told you an amazing story from history, and I didn't put in the history set because I wanted this to sort of stand by itself. You've heard me talk about I don't believe in the need for Black History Month. I just don't. I believe you tell the stories of America. I'm a big believer in teaching chronologically because I think it helps. And obviously school's out in the summer for a lot of people, and so you have to make some modifications. But generally speaking, I
think the seasons give flavor to history. You know, Valley Forge doesn't mean as much if you teach it in the late spring early summer as if you teach it when it's cold, because you just have a better way of connecting to what level of suffering was taking place. Then, in a similar manner, you probably have never heard the name Garrett Morgan. The first hand operated traffic signals appeared
in eighteen sixty eight. There was stopping, there was go hand operated human error, There was not a third position, There was not a caution a yellow light, if you will. Garrett Morgan saw a collision between a horse drawn carriage and an early automobile and decided that he was going to change that. You don't know his name because he
happens to be black. Garrett Morgan was an incredible inventor, and this is an example of somebody that if you taught it in chronological history, you'd probably be teaching about this in November, because he created something that became the modern day stoplight with a yellow directly attributed to his design, which was a T shaped poll with three settings. It had stop, it had go, and then it had stop
in all four directions. Now that would give time for traffic to clear before the next go would happen if it was north south to see, most often the roads were north south, east west, and so the all stop is what today's yellow is. It's sort, it's sort of a in the sense that that pause gives time for everything to clear, and so the all stop is the pause,
if you will. It allowed pedestrians to cross. His patent was the first one that contained that intermediate step between stop and go, which was later developed into the yellow light. He got a patent and he sold it to General Electric for forty thousand dollars back in nineteen twenty three, which is the equivalent of seven hundred and thirty three
thousand today. He didn't stop there, though, when a blaze tragically killed one hundred and forty six garment workers in a factory in New York City in March of nineteen eleven, he came to find out that most of them died of smoke inhalation, and that smoke tended to be at face level, and so he developed a mask, a hood that would allow more clean air to come from the bottom because the smoke would rise and so it gave time.
And he developed a way for people in factories to have these helmets available that if a fire broke out, they'd have a chance of getting out and saving their lives. He patented this device as well, and in nineteen fourteen, a refined model earned a gold medal from the International Association of Fire Chiefs. The dude was like the og he and Edison. In fact, he called himself the black Edison.
You don't know his name because, like a lot of people that happened to be black that were making incredible contributions to this culture and to our country, racism at the time prevented people from really knowing. But when you look up at a stoplight and you see a yellow light, now, Garrett Morgan, think of that. Now you know, as Paul Harvey would say, and now you know the rest of the story. Good day. Twenty seven minutes past the hour. Let's do some news, big stories next thirty six minutes
after the hour. It is show fifty three seventeen of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's osa, I'm Preston. Your call's in the third hour. What's to Bee Friday? Gets your mind ready to get rid of the burdens that you're carrying. We're here for you, but we get to the big stories in the press box. Have you noticed how I mean? Surely we've pointed it out and many of you, if not most of you, have heard us talk about usaid usaid, how deeply entrenched this is,
and we are just everywhere where you turn. You're like, wait what, And we're gonna uncover even some more stuff today. But it is so entrenched that judges are stopping the efforts to reduce the size of government. Ah ah, hey, you can't what and then well, okay, you can do that, but you can't do that. Trump is literally getting the low hanging fruit, if you will. This is this is removing that big cyst that's sitting on the outside on somebody.
Just we're getting that right there. We're gonna we're that one that's just sitting there on their on their knee. The joint's gonna move a lot better once we get that out of the way. We're we're just dealing with that stuff. We're not even getting inside. We're just and for example, tariffs, he signed a in order reciprocal tariffs. He said, for the United States been treated unfairly by trading partners, both friend and foe. It's over. He said.
What one nation charges us, will charge them. We're not going to charge more. We're not going to charge less. What they charge us will charge them. Just that simple, he said. We have had virtually no barriers of accepting goods into our country. But barriers have existed all over the world, and we're done with it. We're just going to level the playing field. Watch what happens the buyout program. Seventy five thousand federal workers have said they'll take the
buy out. You know who fought it the hardest unions? Does that surprise anybody? We could told a judge we could lose sign members in significant numbers. Judges like and yeah, you know, people don't have to stay in unions, although there are places where they do. You want to work, you better be in a union. There's such a racketeering. It's such a and that's why I want to I just want to point this out. That's why unions have always been so closely connected to the mob, to organize crime,
to the mafia here in America. Think about that. Why why the connection? And then lastly, the President said that if if MOSS does not honor its agreement to release the hostages by Saturday tomorrow, he will quote, let hell break out. They've reconsidered and are apparently going to be releasing the rest of the hostages. I don't, I don't, I don't know if it's going to be all of them. But Trump said, and they're like, he's crazy. You better
do it, Mark Mood, we better do it. And so that's where we are right now, forty minutes after the hour. But more on that here in a second. I'm not sure where you are on this hostage thing, Israel's position on it. I've made clear my position that I would not be making the types of switch swaps they're making. I just wouldn't. And to buttress my point, Israel has to release up to fifty Palestinian prisoners, many serving life terms for terrorist killings. For each Israeli hostage released, fifty
to one. I want you to listen to some of the people that are getting released. Mahmoud Attala, serving a life sentence for murdering a Palestinian woman, suspect suspected of collaborating with Israel, repeatedly sexually assaulted female guards at the prison.
Zachariah Zubaidi, head of the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade during the Second Intifada Palestinian uprising that began after Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rejected the two states solution offered by Bill Clinton, and israel Prime minister at the time, Ahu Barhak in two thousand. He organized dozens of attacks, including one on a Likud political party office in two thousand and two that killed six Israelis. Released Ahmed Bargudi serving thirteen life
sentences for terror attacks that killed twelve Israelis. Mohammad Abu Warda serving forty eight life sentences for masterminding multiple Hamas terror attacks, including a bus bombing. In a bus bombing, there's a real military target for you that killed forty five people. Released Sami Jaredat Palestinian Islamic jihadist restaurant bombing in Haifa, Israel killed twenty one. Shadai Amori seventeen life terms for his role in a suicide bombing which killed
seventeen Israeli thirteen IDF soldiers injured more than forty. Those names were among the one hundred and eighty three Palestinians released for three Israelis. Three Israelis. I'm sorry, I wouldn't be making these I would not I would be shaming them in the court of public opinion, and then I would be hunting down every single member of Hamas and I'd kill them all. It is a staggering price to pay. I get that, but in my mind, you've just encouraged
this to happen again. I wouldn't want to be Benjamin Netanyahu trying to figure out what the right course of action is. I wouldn't want to be him because these are your citizens' lives here. But I cannot ever get the mathematical equation. In my head. I ought to be fifty to one, fifty hostages for one terrorist, and will choose the terrorist. And I'm sure I can find some scrubs, some couriers sitting in a prison somewhere that i'd be willing to release for fifty of my people. I can
do that. But I just wanted you to get a snapshot of the people being turned loose. And they're gonna do it again now again. The Masad has a long reach and a longer memory, and they likely are gonna hunt all these people down and kill them. But I don't know that. All right, we're gonna change gears, come back, and we're gonna open up the phone lines early today.
Kind of a lighthearted fun segment here. I'll tell you about it next forty seven minutes after the hour, it's the morning Show with Preston Scott.
I think it is a massive development for the capital city. Now, this could sound like a Tallahassee centric talk segment here, but it's not. BUCkies is coming to town.
When I broke the news to Jose yesterday morning, you would think he was five years old and it was Christmas morning. I almost fainted. I have got to tell my brother now. And so it's in there laughing. Yeah, there are there are right now BUCkies in Daytona Beach, Saint Augustine. There's one plan in Okalla, but the third and or fourth, depending on who gets done first, is going to be here in Tallahassee. Now it makes sense. We're right between Pensacola and Jacksonville. We are a hub
for travel from Georgia. And so my question that I'm going to open the phone lines. Do you care what excites you the most about a Bucky's come into town. Look, I've never been in a wah wah and I get it,
but this is a whole nother world. This is. And just to put some scale to this, the largest BUCkies in the country is is, of course, I'm pretty sure in Texas where it began luling Texas seventy five thousand, five hundred and ninety three square feet the one proposed in tallahe as these seventy five thousand square feet almost as large as the largest in the country. It's huge. So I would love to hear from you. Do you care?
If so, why, what excites you the most? And if you if you've never been to a Bucki's, I'd love to know what you've heard. Now, I've got a listing here. A friend of the show sent me a note here from USA Today where they write about ten things to know about BUCkies. So I've got the ten things and it's really it's a good piece. Shocking that it comes from USA Today. But that's another story for another day. So I can tell you all about a Bucky's. When my wife saw the news, she said, Oh, you're gonna
get a brisket sandwich every day. No, I won't do that every day every other day. No, it's food, fudge, jerky stuff, beats, huh, beaver nuggets eight five zero two zero five WFLA. All right, I know some people had to go because well just because, but we have lines open eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. Ellen Shannon stand by, but we've got room for you and Matt, you're welcome to call back in. We're asking a simple question or set of questions. BUCkies is gonna
drop another location. They they are going to come to what is known as Capitol Circle northwest in Ian, roughly here in town. It will be incredibly popular, as all BUCkies are. I mean, I've seen dedicated stoplights and turn lanes for a Bucky to get people in and out efficiently. It's crazy. And so my question is what are you most excited about? What do you love most about BUCkies? Do you even care? Look at this is a huge economical engine coming to town. Remember now, Florida is a
consumption tax state. People will be stopping and buying stuff at this BUCkies and they'll be paying seven and a half percent local tax on it. Six to the state, one and a half to leon. This is a huge boon to the local economy, to jobs. I don't know if you know this, but you know what a manager of a BUCkies makes between one hundred and seventy five and two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days
a year. Twenty four hours a day. It's open. I would love to hear your thoughts, Ellen, what about you.
I'm really excited about it. I've gone to bubb and I've been I haven't been to a while off, but I've been to Bucky's. I love their meat sandwiches. I love their candy pecans. I love If we're looking for like a different kind of gifts, they've got something different. But it's all what you said. It's gonna bring revenue, it's gonna bring people, like get them to take off the highway and stop in Tallahassee. And I think it's great.
I'm really excited about it. And I mean I don't go there often, but when I go down to Tampa, I'll stop. When I go up to Athens, Georgia, I'll stop because it's just I.
Just love it.
I think it's gonna be great for Tallahassee and it'll be just another place where people can take their family if they come into town. It's you can get Tallahappy gift items. You can get four to gift item, get to win.
What's your favorite sandwich?
Oh, that's a good question. I think I think it is the brisket.
Yeah, that's next level. Ellen, thank you. I appreciate the phone call. If you've never had that. First of all, they're making that food right there. If you've never had the barbecue, beef brisket, the shredded Oh my gosh, Shannon, what excites you the most or do you even care?
Good morning, Preston care. I'm glad we got something I guess new in town. I've been to the wah Wahs, the busy Bees. They don't excite me like the bufies does because, like Ellen, and there's so much to choose
from their brisket is the is the bomb. I'm more so liking that we're having Like you're like you're talking about the economy coming in because now I don't like it because it's going to draw a whole lot of traffic at the it in intersection, right, because that is that is my way to and front work every.
Right.
Right.
But but here, here's something else.
I know.
This area has been say looking for being under you know, being developed for restaurants and whatnot. I have a freaking city commissioner thinks that if you beautify the medians more more restaurants will come to come into the area. So I'm hoping the BUCkies will bring more restaurants and choices to eat north of I ten, because it's pasthetic with the gas stations, the smoke shops, the mattress shops, the car washes and fast food.
Need something more man Well, you're getting it, and you're getting it in steroids, and I can't wait.
Please tell, Please tell Jose I'll see.
Him out the drive room.
Thank you. Shit, I appreciate that. I think you just did, Dave. Sandy, You're gonna be up next. You're hear me first. It's just it's a short break, so don't leave me. It's Friday. Come on, people, it's uh the lighter fair here. I would love to talk to somebody that has never been to a BUCkies and you're wondering what all the furor is about. You know what is everybody so geeked up about? My wife When she travels to and from Ohio, she plans her drive to stop it. I think two or
three different BUCkies. It's it's like perfectly spaced with a little extra, a little extra in the gas tank eight five zero two zero five wufl. I do care that BUCkies is coming to town. This is the morning show with Preston Scott. Bucky's coming to the Tallasse community. Don't have a projected date, but we're talking twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year, and it will be an economic machine for this community. Dave, thanks for being on hold.
What do you think, hey, Preston, Well, when you open the door, all kinds of people walk in. I can't stand Bucky, Okay, I just I only went to one once with a trip on a with a co worker over by Pensacola. Uh huh wait. You know people in the parking lot like a Disney World directed and you'll wear the park uh way too many humans. I felt like I was in a Walmart during a Black Friday sales. I can't stand to be around that many people in
that quote unquote small of a space. I know they're huge, but there's a bazillion people in there.
That's true.
I told my I told my coworker.
I said, I don't care.
How bad I got to go to the bathroom or how bad I need coffee, Do not ever ever bring me to a BUCkies again. That's that's that's my say.
Okay, thank you sir, I appreciate the phone call. I won't try to talk you in or out of it, because you're already out. I appreciate that. Let's go to Sandy. Sandy, what do you What do you think about BUCkies? You a fan or not?
I am a fan. My I found about it officially. My boss saw it on Facebook or something and she said, I got to show you something and I was like, yes, but brisket, uh the brisket, say which extra large? And the beaver nuggets that they have, uh, those are those are very very bad. You could eat a whole bag of them. And the reusable coffee cups. They always have some kind of cute design or cool design, you know,
pro America. Don't tread on me. And they have seasonal shirts too for Halloween, Valentine's Day and touch.
You're excited.
I am excited.
We are actually talking about, Hey, that's my next job.
And the boss lady's like, what, Thank you, Sandy. I appreciate the phone call. By the way, for those that do not know, beaver nuggets are like a corn puff and they're caramel flavored or sea salt caramel or cinnamon or bold and spicy or white cheddar or white cheddar, habannaro or chocolate covered or bugle shaped, white fudge covered. There's even a beaver nugget scented candle. Not making any of that up, Jose, Not that, Jose, this, Jose, you're.
Up, I'm morning pressient. How you doing?
I'm awesome? What do you think?
I love it?
I my wife and I she's probably listening. My wife is Glendall formerly Glenda Scott. So I don't know if you got the email a while back. I did, but anyways, Yeah, so we just moved from Saint Augustine and there was a BUCkies to stop from us.
So we're excited.
I'm very excited to have a BUCkies.
It's following you in Tallahae.
Yes, and the brisket is number one, you know, risk good is my sandwich.
There you go.
He loves the beef jerky. So we're excited or we can't can't wait?
Tell me this, you know, let me ask you when you say the jerky, people may not even comprehend how much jerky they have. There is just the routine beef jerky your favorite or do you have some kind of unusual flavor that you gravitate.
Too, I'm the normal flavor, you know, just a regular, you know, simple beef jerkey. But they're like the walm out of jerkys.
Yeah, man, So yeah, they're awesome.
So we're excited, and you know, we just can't wait. I don't even know they have a date yet.
So now we have Jose thank you and say hi to Glinda. No, I don't have a date yet. It's in the approval process. They've applied, they've made the application. There's no reason for this not to happen. None. None. County commissioners, you know, planning, they'd have to have their heads examined if they don't figure out a way to make this happen. But Lance, John, your next eight five zero two zero five to b fla one more segment of calls BUCkies coming to the area. What's your favorite
thing about a Bucky's? Or are you you a hater? You're not into it at all? And I get it. I absolutely understand why. Sixteen past the hour got a note sent to me via text on my email and it says, will it lower property taxes? I'd rather worship a higher power, not a beaver. Oh give me a break. First of all, it could lower property taxes. But it's really not up to that, now, is it. It's up to the county commissioners on things like that, it's up
to city commissioners on things like that. If it generates enough added revenue, you know, who knows the argument could be made. However, higher power, really, you clearly don't know that after God rested at f they're creating the heavens and the earth. On day number eight he made BUCkies. Okay, so let's let's go back to the phone lines here and talk with Lance. Hello, sir, welcome, Happy Friday. Preston.
Hello, Yeah, I've never been to I've never been to a BUCkies. Okay, so that's fine, and uh so anything that makes Kyle happy better. I'm curious why they would pick us, So that's a good thing. I'm not excited about hearing. Oh, there's gonna be a lot of people there in the traffic. I don't even know if i'd go to get gas unless unless they're really good at line management, like Chick fil A is amazing at that. Even when the cars are around the building there, it
seems like they get them through. So I would be curious to know are they good at traffic management, and.
No, it's a free for all. No, they don't. Yeah, it pretty much. Is it the way that they lay it out, it is. It's got four sided entry and they've got gas basically around two maybe half of the building, and then they've got charge stations and they've got places for buses and semis and stuff like that. The park, No, it's it isn't for like, hey, I'm just going to run in and run out. It's not. It is absolutely it is a destination place for people that are on
the road to stop get gassed. They're clean bathrooms to the to the ninth degree, buddy, and then the food.
Would I be able to take my wife's there for Valentine's Day in the future.
Honestly, I'd do it. I'd do it just because, Yes, because it would be great fun if you go there, if you live here and you go there with the right attitude, you will have a great time.
Last question for you then, So if the free for all at all, I guess I can't believe the manager makes as much as they do.
Yep.
What do you do about the road range? Do people get mad at each other?
No, it's expected. You just you get it. Just comes with the territory, buddy. It just I mean, let me. I mean you've seen the lines for a Chick fil a out onto the roads, right, Yeah, people just accept.
But they're known for that. So I'll probably try it once and we'll see. What do we know? Exit it's going to be built off.
Of Capital Circle northwest. Yeah, yep, out there, so it'll be on the north side of iten, I believe. So Lance, thank you, buddy. Good to hear from you. Let's go to John, John, you're up, Hey.
Good morning. I'm into the BUCkies. Calachis, I don't know. Finally, everybody here in Florida maybe learn what a calachi is.
What is a calachi?
You doo huh? Yeah, Well, everybody google fucky calachis and you'll be able to see what they are. They're like donuts. They're square donuts, and they're not sweet like donuts, but they got little fillings, right, not injected in the middle, but sitting on top, like okay, strawberries and different kinds of fillings. And and my best one is chee. It's kind of like a sweet cottage cheese filling on.
Top, almost like a Danish sort of.
But when I was a little I was born raised in Houston, and my grandmother from Czechoslovakia Poland, which kilachi basically come from. She used to make them when I was a little kid back in the sixties. Wow, we ate them up and still nobody, hardly anybody knows what they are, even heard of them. But Tilachi's and got them. You buy them by the dozens, like a dozen donuts, and they're great. And I'm excited people maybe learn what
kilachis are around here. I've been asking people. One out of one hundred people will know what a kilachi is.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the call, and you've got a bunch of folks interested. I'm sure two more callers. Bob, You're up.
A lot of pluses for the BUCkies. There's just one negative. When people get gas at other locations. You tell me if you've seen it, if they just get out of their car, leave the car parked at the gas pump and go in and eat and whatever.
Yeah, well I don't think they go in and eat, but I obviously seen that. Okay, I have seen that. Yeah, well, I wouldn't know how you would know that. Did you follow them in? Yes?
It did not park. No, I got out and I parked my car and I could see you just watch.
Them, Okay, so you follow them in and watch them.
The manager says, yes, that is a problem.
Yeah, I'm sure. Look, that's that happens at every gas station, but I'm sure it's it's like a lot of things. It's bigger at a Bucky's. Yeah, that's a problem. They probably need to address that. Last caller here is jan Jane.
You're up, Hi, Preston. I feel like a turncoat by listening to the rest of these people, But I'm not excited.
Okay, I used to.
I used to have a neighbor who I have never been to one. Used to have a neighbor who used to go to the one in the Daytona Armond Beach area, and she would come home and every time I would get a half hour dissertation on we saw this, We saw that, we looked at this, we looked at that, we did this, we did and I'm like, I'm not a shopper, unlike most women. I'm like, this is so boring. Why do I have to listen to this every time they go to a Buppy's. So no, I'm not excited.
I haven't been there, But on the other hand, I want to uphold wah Wah. I was the same way when I heard Wahwah was coming to town. I was excited from the moment they started dredging the land to build it them. My friends get saying, what's the deal with you and a Wahwah?
Is he tired of hearing you talk about it?
Right?
Right? So I am a Wahwah fan all the way, and I just feel like, well, I'm used to them, but I just feel like it's a neighborhood gathering place as a place where you go and your neighbors are there.
Yeah, it's a smaller BUCkies. Stop it, thank you, chat, I gotta go. She's a wah Wah woman, That's what she is. Yeah, it's look, no matter what you think, if you don't like them, stay away from them, but enjoyed. It's like Amazon. Amazon's a huge boon to this local economy. BUCkies will be two twenty nine past the hour, phone lines still ring, an email box blowing up, people wanting
to talk about BUCkies. Buddy Mine wrote in BUCkies makes it easy to stay away from them if you don't like them by building off the beaten path for most locals. He said he and his wife visited BUCkies between here and New Orleans. Thought it was fun. We spent an hour looking around. There you go, Chad Rights in heading to one now, Chad listening on the road. A little shout out, buddy, thank you for listening via iheartradiou Chuck Rights in Jose. Can you see bringing it with the
music and join the show? Jealous you're getting a BUCkies? Yeah, lots of Uh you forgot the homemade chips colaches are delicious. I believe you, and I didn't forget. I just I only have so much time. I got a list of ten things I haven't even talked about. Do that next week, big stories in the press box. Don't forget what's to be Friday. So if you want to complain about BUCkies coming, you can do that. You can just remember you turn it into a complaint. You might want to complain that
it's not here, all righty, whatever you like. But what's the beef comes up? Next hour? Next hour? So is does that caller really want to wait for forty minutes thirty minutes to be on hold? Really? Okay? Show you what the difference the president makes hamas as reverse course, they're going to release hostages as they agreed to, because Trump said if you don't, you're going to regret that decision. I wouldn't be surprised if the Secretary of Defense doesn't
already have something drones whatever pointed at specific targets. Government buyout program is proceeding right now. Seventy five thousand federal workers have signed up for the buyouts. Apparently it's done. That's the number they've taken advantage. My guess is there will be those that say I want to do it, and it's going to be sorry, too late. And you know what he needs to hold to that. He needs to hold to that to teach a lesson. There's an
old expression in parts of the country. I don't chew my cabbage twice one time, I say it once. And that's what he needs to do with this. This is the deal, take it or leave it. You don't have to accept it. It's fine. And then Trump announcing reciprocal tariffs basically sign a deal. Whatever you charge us in tariffs will charge you nothing more, nothing less. Forty minutes past the hour. What I share next is going to leave you stunned.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
I don't think I could even calculate the number of stories that I've done on this show, let alone read in preparation for the show, because there are stories that I read that don't make the cut just don't get to them. This story not only left me stunned, it left me horrified. And that's not hyperbole you'll understand why Guy Benson as the story from town Hall. It's a video clip where you hear three people exchanging a conversation content creator Max Weifer, and you're speaking to Ahmad Rashad
Nadir and Sarah abdul Lebde. Now, I have never heard of an app called chat Reletka, and I could be pronouncing that wrong. Chat Reletka is how it's It's spelled chat rule t tka, So chat Reletka is what we'll go with it is. It is an app that is mainly popular in the Middle East. And what makes this app interesting is that if you go on this app, it just connects you with people randomly. It's not about
people in your friend groups. It's about just picking up the app roll and tape and you're in a conversation with someone that you don't know, just some random person. So Max, who does content, ends up just as happenstance talking to somebody working at the Bankstown Hospital in Sydney, Australia. It's got the Australian accent, but he's in Islamist and the nurse next to him is in an Islamist Sarah abdu Abu lebde. As soon as they learned he was
in Israeli, I can't play what they said. It was all in English other than an occasional word here and there. These are hospital workers. I'm so upset the you're Israeli. Eventually you're gonna get killed and go to Johannan, which is the Islamist expression for hell in Shillah. When mister Viper asks why he's going to be killed, he said, it's Palestine country. It's not your country, you piece of bleep.
That's when the woman comes in. When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand you will die the most disgusting death. And then she said when Israelis come into their hospital, I won't treat them, I will kill them. When the original nurse or doctor says that he tells mister Viper he sends Israelis to Hell as he makes a threatening gesture. You have no idea how many Israeli dogs came to this
hospital and I send them to John. These are people working in hospitals, and mister Nadir suggested that he's already killed Israelis in the hospital once he finds out their Jews. This is horrifying anti Semitism. Now these two should be fired without question. How could you possibly trust them to
treat all patients? Not a chance. It's gotten out the attorney representing mister van Nadir, which tells you this is now becoming a thing that his clients sent a very sincere apology, not only to that individual but the Jewish community as a whole. He understands what has happened, and he's trying to make amends for what has happened. He's never appeared before the court in relation to any criminal matters. He's a person a prior good character. It's unfortunate that
he finds himself in a situation like this. Trust me, he's blaming the jew I don't care that he's never found himself in a prior situation like this. You cannot allow that to exist in a hospital. This is what we're dealing with. Hatred, bigotry. It does not ever die via any other means than the Cross of Christ. Jesus is the only way for someone's heart to be changed dramatically enough that they can move past it. Because bigotry is so deeply rooted in sin, our sinful nature. And
that's why it's such a big topic for me. Bigotry. I don't care where it comes from. I don't care. Forty eight minutes past the hour, what's to be Friday? Coming up? We'll get you ready more.
Next, it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
I I don't pretend to understand the connection between the Kennedy Center and the government, the federal government, but I guess it's connected. Like it's sort of a performing arts center of the federal government, the Kennedy Center for the Arts. The interim executive director now is Rick Grennell. He was appointed by Donald Trump to figure out what's gone wrong. Well, we know one thing. We know it went woke. We know it was doing drag shows and crap like that
for youth. And Trump said Rick shares my vision for a golden age of American arts and culture, and we'll be overseeing the daily operations. No more drag shows or other anti American propaganda. Only the best. Rick, welcome to show business. This is what they've learned. This is from Rick grennell I was brief today by the CFO of Kennedy on its financial situation. They have zero cash on hand, they have zero in reserves and a deferred maintenance crisis.
They've been using debt reserves for the last several months. And now the questions start coming, why in the world do the executive members of the Kennedy Center justify their seven and high six figure salaries, Yes, seven figure salaries. You remember I said, we're scratching the surface of the waist. They had one hundred and thirty one million dollars in revenue for the Kennedy Center, and they had expenses of one hundred and thirty eight They were in the red
and operation of six point six million dollars. It's been worse. It's been as low as twelve million. The amount of deficit. It's just a train wreck. Everywhere you look. Everything that the federal government is touching is inefficient, and wait till I get to the best and worst of the week. I've actually got a story in there that's my best of the week and my worst of the week. That kind of connects some dots further. But now it's time for what's to be Friday. Eight five zero two zero
five WFLA. It's time for your complaints call. Now it's time for what's to be Friday. You've been waiting all week, perhaps, and now's your chance to get it said. Whatever it may be, you got something, got you wound up. It's eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Now the lines are all taken right now, but as we cycle through, callers just jump on in. Now we have a very simple set of rules for participating and being on the air of this show. Number one, no profanity. Number two,
don't make it personal. It's as simple as that. So it's eight five zero two zero five WFLA. I don't have all the names here, so I'm just gonna start going. I think we've got Jan is this jan It's Joel, Joel? How are you Joel? What's the beef?
Good? More impressed Preston might bee For all Democrats, they seem to be the party of fraud, you know, and they have a long history of it. Doctor Irwin Jackson here in Tallahassee is finishing up a book that he's writing on the detailing all the fraud that Democratic Party did here in Leon County. So it seems like Democrats are just just support fraud everywhere. That seems to be what they like to do.
It's crazy.
Don't know why anybody has anything to do with them.
I don't understand it either. And they are in sensed that they're being uncovered.
Absolutely navigating into procedure. The procedure is not right to forget what was uncovered, you know. They try every way in the world they can to preserve this this craziness. It's absurd.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the phone call, and I apologize for not having names. Our call screeners not working properly. So I'm going to line two here, you're up. What's the beef? My name is Michael Mike.
Hey, my beef is nice. Segue from the gentleman before is all these libtards whining and crying about what Elon Musk is doing. Right, Yeah, he's uncovering the fraud in the ways that all those corrupt politicians are feeding at the trough and he's cutting off their slob.
How long do you think it'll be before Republicans starts squirming in their chairs a little bit, because there's some members of the GOP that are in on this too.
Oh yeah, some of the Mitch McConnell that much. Yeah, there sweating, that's why he's retiring. They're crooked anyway. Yeah, there's a bunch of Republicans that need to go too. I say, clean house on both sides.
So I'm with you, man, I'm with you. And by the way, thank you for the restraint. I felt it coming and you did a great job. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Let's go back to the phone lines. You are up again. I'm sorry I don't have your name, but you're on the air.
Yeah, this is right. Hey, how are you on a different note than political? My beef is about the halftime show for the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
I have not been able to find an English translation of what they sang anywhere. That's my beef.
Thank you so much. Right, Yeah, we've talked about that. I mentioned that a little bit earlier in the week. You know, I'm down with the style of music, but I prefer to know what someone's singing. Now. Look, it's not just rap, although rap certainly has has that to it as kind of a main part of its thing is you got to listen over and over and over and over and over. And I still think people have to pull out the lyric sheets to figure out some of it. But anyway, one more call here before we
take a quick break. You're up, Thanks for waiting.
What's the beef, Hey, Preston, it's Ray.
I want to talk about consequences. That's my beef today. Because of this president and his first buddy, my team of seventeen has lost their funding and we have been studying how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop Putsie roll and we're out now they've shut our funding off.
Really, yes, sir.
We may never know.
The world may never know because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
We'll find out. We will. I think we'll. I think we actually will find out, right, But thank you very much for the phone call. We're going to take a break for weather, traffic and the like. Short break back with more of your calls, we'll try to get the call screen or sorted out in the break ten past the hour eight five zero two zero five to b FLA, it is your weekly chance to vent What's the beef? On the Morning Show with Preston Scott, we go back
to the phone lines. I believe we have John standing by this. John, it is Hey, we finally got it back working. You are up, my friend. What's the beef?
My beef is with these Republicans pauling additions, limbing up on their soapbox, making a bunch of noise about what's been uncovered by Elon's bureaucrat scan of sorts.
These guys can't.
Take a victory lap when they're not the ones driving the car. These guys have been around way too long with the stuff going on right in front of them. That long ago I listened to Ran Paul rattle off a whole bunch of this kind of stuff with hye popping dollar amounts attached to it, and it went nowhere. Nothing happened. Yep, you know, with Trump given the federal government a elonima of sorts, I hope that these people are gonna like see that this is the playbook for
how you do this. I hope that there's enough momentum with what Trump's doing that the mid terms actually become hunting season for the rhinos.
Yeah, as long as the people, like you said, there are the ram poles. There are select members of the House in the Senate that have been trying desperately trying to deal with this kind of stuff. I think we've got a couple of them on our show with Kat Cammick and Senator Tommy Turberville. Yeah. I think that we just have to keep supporting that. And I think you're right. I think we have to. We have to make the mid terms about keeping this going.
Yeah, rhinos need to realize right here and now they're going to become an endangered specie.
Well said, Sir Well said, let's go to Debbie. Debbie, you are up. What's the beef morning.
Preston My complaint.
My complaint is a never ending misuse of the English language over topics that are really junior high school English class. In particular today, I'd like to highlight the misuse of me and I. I see it all over the internet, and I am hearing it all over talk radio.
Me and Jose never do that.
I didn't say anything, No you know what, you.
Have nailed something that is one of my wife's pet peeves. And yeah, she'll be.
Talking to you about it today, not that one.
Because she knows I was kidding. But yeah, you're right. It's a lot of people don't understand. You never start with an I or me. Never.
Sometimes you don't end with the eye or the meed that you use.
This is middle.
School English and we really need to pay more attention.
Thank you very much, Debbie. If we weren't so worried about, oh, I don't know, teaching ridiculous gender studies to elementary school students and sexualizing them and maybe taught them about fundamentals of language and literacy and constructions of words and sentences, is we'd probably be a little bit better off. Let's go to Jose, not that Jose, this Jose. How are you? What's the beef?
Good morning, mister sir, my beef? And I'm sure, well, I'm not sure, but I'm curious your commercials. I mean, do you regulate that? I mean, because I got a commercial that I can hear. It seems like every five minutes.
Are you listening on the radio or on iHeart? Well, when that doesn't happen on this I promise you that doesn't happen on the radio on iHeart, it's possible.
Okay. Well, here's my question for you or my beeft is have you lost touch with paper? You heard this ad?
I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Somewhere down alot we lost touch with paper?
Yeah, I don't.
Sorry, it's an ad on either the radio or the iHeart.
No, it's not on the radio.
Okay, what's on my heart? And it's just stupid. What do you mean when touched with paper? I touch paper every day.
Okay. I hope you feel better, my friend. All I can tell you is we have virtually no say over what happens on the stream. It's kind of almost a separate entity. And the repetition of some things is something that has been pointed out. And I mean it's you know, I don't mean to push it off, but it is well beyond and above my pay grade. Here's what I'll remind anybody that has similar concerns. It's free. It's a free app, and there are just certain things that come
with that. I would rather that than be asked for money all the time or be part of the public broadcasting system that is ripping us off and taking our tax dollar and yeah, and then using it for propaganda purposes on the left. So to me, it's a small price to pay, but I get the annoyance. I absolutely understand it. David Jeffrey, you are next. What about you? We have line We have two lines open, room for two more callers at eight five zero two zero five
to b FLA back and operational. We have your names eight five zero two zero five to be FLA. We also have one line open, but that's it. One more caller we can take. We've got three standing by Jeffrey, you are up. What's the beef?
Well, Preston, this may be a little bit close to home to you, and it's a good segue from the guy that was talking about Dutch and paper. I had the occasion the other day to drive from State Road twelve from Havana over to Meridian and then eventually come down Bannerman Road, and I was not too surprised. And when I saw all the paper and trash on the highway on State Road twelve, that's customarily so I travel that often. But you know, Preston out there near Clauren Lakes,
where I believe you live. I was shocked the amount of trash, paper bags, plastic bags that were on that Bannerman Road. I would think that people live out.
In that area would know better.
So this is a local situation, and I was shocked at the amount of trash on that particular highway. So that's just an observation, and I think it's a sad reflection on a certain group of people that live in this area. I'll leave it at that.
All right, Thank you very much, appreciate it. Yeah, littering, I don't care where it is. It's it. You know, it happens everywhere, and it's unfortunate and it's not necessary, and it's a sign of laziness. But I I kind of reject the idea that it's it's a reflection of that group. It's a reflection of society. We're just lazy. It's certainly not isolated to one part of town or another. I can show you trash everywhere, and I'm sure you can see it as well. But hopefully you feel better.
Glad you call it in. Let's go to David. David, you are up. What's the beef?
Yeah, fancy, good morning, My tip of the hat, Coche, Hamilton, Thris and my beef is about college sports with all this jumping chip and transfer and portols and all that stuff. And there's more fans in the Democratic Party and I got m as low as he has a fan Casflor high Tide. Other than that, you know, my football season was over after Labor Day. I got a lot of work, I'll tell you that much.
Tell me this what what was the turning point for you with college athletics? The portal or was it the nil or something else?
Most portally? They gotta fix that, and they got to fix it quick because you don't you don't know who you got from the year.
Yeah.
Yeah, and bowl games, bowl games? What what hurts your orders?
Kids?
You know he jump chip right in the middle of the game, like Mimi quarterback did. That's terrible.
Yeah, I completely agree. That was embarrassing. Yeah, yeah, David, thank you appreciate it. Solutions real simple, not easy, but it's simple. Contracts. Athletes signed contracts. If you want to be a professional, you sign a contract. If you don't, that's fine. You don't get any money, you get a sky and if you want to leave, that's up to you. But you're not going to be getting anything else. And if the coach leaves, so be it. You stay. You want to be a professional. That's how it works in
professional sports. When a coach is fired or leaves, the players don't leave. They don't get they don't say, oh, well, I want to go where he's going. Mm hmm. You're under contract. You want to be a big boy, you want to demand the money. That's how it works. I think it's a real simple fix. Ron final caller, what's the beef?
Hello, President, and thank you. Every day somebody is to say thank you for what you do.
There, You're welcome.
I'm just great to see Elon Musk doing what he's doing. But I'm wondering when they're going to get to the inside trading. Representative Missouri Hawley, I believe his name is called Madam Secretary of Energy Jennifer grand Halk.
I believe grand announ all this right, yep.
Yeah, that she was caught right handed. I've seen a video of the other day. I thought, can you see the liars sitting there? I mean, she just flat lied and the millions of dollars that the inside trading is going on.
I'm really hoping that he does bring that up, because.
Hey, that's crazy. They're allowed to do it and we're not. But it's pathetic. It's pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.
Ron. Thank you, I appreciate it. Here's what I'm going to challenge you to do. Stick around a few minutes, stick around for the best and worst of the week. Just stick around twenty seven minutes past the hour. Thanks for the calls those of you that didn't get in. Sorry, twenty seven past. It's time to move on to news. No big stories. When we come back. We've got other things to do here On the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We are off
on Monday. Monday's President's Day. Sorry that most of you don't get the day off. It is a federal holiday. iHeart recognizes it, and so we will too. Out of respect to our company, we'll we'll go ahead and take the day off. We will. We will sacrifice and not work. Sorry, that would be that would not be an honest statement, because it's not work. We will not play. We will not play on Monday. We'll be back Tuesday. Kat Chemic will join us on Tuesday. But we're gonna yeah, so sorry,
time for the best and worst of the week. Jose you are up, sir, What is your best and worst?
Well, hello everybody, I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. The best for me the whole week was when I walked in here, Yeah, and you told me that the BUCkies is coming to Tallahassee.
Whoa that? Just are you jonesan for some beaver nugs?
Oh?
Yeah, you want some nuggies?
Yeah?
You know, my brother and I we plan, you know, three hour trips to go to BUCkies. That's six hours to and fro. So I'm stoked that it's coming here. And then my bad is that, uh, I'm gonna have to wait for it.
Okay, it would be nice if it just you know, popped up, yeah, right, like an inflatable. They need to make an inflatable BUCkies. It is, yeah, modular at this point, seventy five thousand square feet boom boom boom, three twenty five thousand square foot segments. Just drop it in via helicopter. Right, But okay, my uh, I'm gonna start with my worst
of the week. It was it was actually the story from last hour that there were two Islamic workers working in a hospital in Australia that stated on video they would kill Israelis in the hospital. One suggested they had but once they got into this random chat with somebody and found out he was Jewish, expletive laced, tirade, unhinged at hate with an Aussie accent, it was crazy. I mean not really, because when you hear someone speak with
an Australian accent, it just sounds so friendly. And to hear this hate, it just it didn't My brain just was trying to rewire it, like this can't be real, but it was ohso real. And these two sorry excuses for humanity trying to cover their tracks, but not to be outdone by the best of the week Elon Musk.
We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars of net worth while they're in that position. We're just curious as to where it all came from, whether they have very good investing, in which that case we should take their advice on investing. Perhaps they seem to be mysteriously getting wealthy and we don't know why, where does it
come from. I think the reality is that they're getting wealthier at the taxpayer expense. So in response to this, Maxie Waters says on video, we don't know what they have on us, and so Ron, that's for you, buddy, My best of the week is for you. Because they get wealthy through insider trading. We know Paul Pelosi's used it for years. There's no doubt in my mind. Peter Schweitzer, who we're getting back on the show, has written about it extensively. The book is called Throw Them All Out.
That's my best of the week. I think it's I think this is glorious. Forty minutes past the hour, come back with some better news, some good news. Runing show with Preston Scott sixty of the time. It works every time on.
News Radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA.
What a day to miss. The segment on BUCkies that was glorious. We had some people that are haters I want no part of a Bucki's, but most everybody was a I cannot wait. Most everyone was a beef brisket fan that talked about their preferences. There seemed to be a universal appreciation of beaver nuggets, which I'll be honest with you, they've got to rename that. I know they're not going to, but I just I love it. Beaver nuggets. I just I just see see something other than nuggets,
if you know what I mean. I just I can't get that out of my brain. It just it doesn't hit me the same way as chicken nuggets. It hits me differently. There hit him in the beaver nuggets. I just I can't. I can't help it. I've never had them, and I have to tell you, I got to push past the name to get get to the But but we we anyway, interesting show today, lots of topics. This is interesting our good news segment two kind of environmentally related ones. What if a bird feeder type thing was
adapted for coral reefs? What would it look like, Well, it would look like a searchlight. Scientific at Ohio State University have designed one that uses a special kind of light that attracts microscopic organisms that coral feed on. It's
called the Underwater Zooplankton Enhancement Light Array. It is an autonomous, programmable underwater light that underwent trials with the help of the Coral Restoration Foundation in Hawaii, and what they're finding is it speeds up the growth of and enhances the health of coral reefs. Now this is good news for a lot of reasons. But what's interesting to me is I thought that sea temperatures were such that we were
killing reefs. How does this work? I mean, let's set aside the fact that the Grape Barrier reef is growing. That maybe the Earth is just doing what the Earth does and its cycles and it declines and it grows. But I just find it interesting that just putting this light, a special light in the water overwhelms whatever climate change is doing, and it causes corals to grow and be healthy.
I just find that interesting. Now, speaking of water drilling, company founded by former petroleum industry men, drilling in Africa found that what they expected to be oil rich deposits weren't there. But guess what they found water lots and lots of water. And so what they're doing is they're using these seismic surveys pinpointing hidden water wells. And because water projects can't afford this type of technology, they're using the data that these guys are creating and they're going
to unlock fresh water sources for millions of Africans. In fact, one source, one aquifer is going to provide two million Tanzanians with water for one hundred years. Technology used for one purpose uncovers something useful for another purpose, and they say, here you go, and that's good news. Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, reminder again we are off on Monday. Back on Tuesday, and in lieu of a dad joke.
I thought it'd be good to get together now that we've all rested from our summer vacations. Although it's true summer vacations aren't always RESTful. You know that. That leads to a story. There was a fellow that was on his way to a mountain resort and a policeman stopped him and said, did you know that you're driving without tail lights? And the driver hopped out of the car.
He was so badly shaken that the.
Officer took pity on him and said, when I wait a minute, calm down. It's not that serious an infraction. Fella said, it may not mean Nutch to you, but to me, it means I've lost my trailer, a wife and four kids.

It's the Morning Show on on WFLA.
Beck the program in one hundred and eighty seconds or last. The President announces reciprocal tariffs. He said, Uh, the US allows about everything into this country. We're kind to our trade partners, but we're tired of it not working both ways. So whatever tariff someone puts on our products, we will do the same in kind on their products. So if someone tariffs our stuff twenty five percent, then their stuff is tariff twenty five percent. Love it Government buyout program.
Seventy five thousand federal workers, give or take a few, have signed up for the buyouts. Yay. Hamas reversus course amazing. After Trump said that if you don't honor the deal, hell's going to break loose, Hamas says, I think we'll be at least to hostages. We talked a little bit about those hostages by the way, and what Israel is giving up in order to get It's scary fifty terrorists to one hostage, if not a little bit more caught
on camera. Islamic nurses have apparently been fired for threatening to kill patients that are Jewish in Australia at a hospital in Bankstown, near Sydney. Next time you're at a traffic light and you see a yellow traffic light, think and thank Garrett Morgan. We told you that story as well.
Took some calls on Bucki's coming to town. Most I would say ninety percent are thrilled, and I would say that's reflected in my email as well, not just the callers, of which there were week turned them away again off Monday back Tuesday, friends, have a great weekend. Thanks so much for listening.
