Welcome on them, everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Morning Show with Preston Scott impressed him hopefully by now a familiar voice. That's Jose and it is March the fourth. More on that date in Mere Moments, Show fifty three, twenty eight. And so we begin, as always with a little dip into God's word. Man, I really want to get you to start your days. It's been so cool to get email and to run into people that say things like, you know, I just I make sure to
get up and catch the first five minutes of the show. Yes, don't let it stop there. Let it lead you into some prayer, and let it lead you into deeper study throughout the day. Take your you know, your fifteen minute break at work in the morning and in the afternoon, and devote that time, you know, nibble on some carrots, celery and some ranch, and read some God, you know, some of God's work. You know what I mean, I mean,
just do it. Come on. Yesterday we went back into two Timothy two, and I want to move ahead because that one, it's it was a it's a message to a Christian, someone who calls themselves a servant of the Lord and that your attitudes and your actions can be winsome to people that aren't. But then Paul, in this note to Timothy addresses fellow believers, listen to these words, and I have to read them all because they all tie together. But understand this that in the last days. Now,
let's just pause for a second. This is something we spend a little time on Sunday. We have this habit of immediately thinking the last days are well, aren't these the last days? The ones we're living in? Well? When was this written? Paul's talking about the last days? Well, when Paul's writing this, Jesus has died and has been resurrected, and he emptied the grave and defeated death. And so the last days from a biblical perspective, started then when
Jesus defeated death and the grave the resurrection. So these are the last days from then until now, until whenever he returns. And I think you can make the argument that there's a degree of prophetic nature to this, that there will be an expansion of this. But here's what's most important about what follows. This is being addressed to Timothy about fellow believers, alleged believers, listen to this, there will come times of difficulty for people we're talking about,
not just not people out in the world. Christians will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of Godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people see having an appearance of Godliness. See that gives you
the clue that entire list is about Christians. We're not told to have nothing to do with non Christians. How do you think they get saved? It doesn't mean compromise your walk to hang with them. It's like if people at wor say, Hey, it's Friday, let's go get a drink after work. Okay, if you can do that and maintain your witness and maybe nurse a coke or a ginger ale or something, and hang with him and let them kind of interact with you as a Christian, and
you don't compromise your walk. Man, that's the whole point of being a Christian. To be that saltiness, to be that alternative. But these verses are talking about fellow believers. So my question is does any of that touch you? Does that list describe you at all? If so, I say this in love check yourself. Ten past the Hours the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Is anybody else out there celebrating that we're not sending money to Ukraine, that
we're pausing all aid. Trump's not going to pretend that Friday didn't happen, you ungrateful little man. I'm just now, I'm not going to stay up and watch the thing tonight. I'm just not. I'm going to go to bed. I'll read and see it tomorrow morning. President's address is probably going to go a minute. Democrats are bringing fired workers to the State of the Union speech. Okay, good, let's
go ahead. I hope they bring them all. Let's show how bloated this government is, because I promise you Americans aren't feeling the pinch of any of these workers no longer being employed. I'm sorry, It's just true. Our government is bloated, and the fact that we've got I mean, I wish Trump had had waited a little bit before he started firing people. But you know what, he's doing what he said he would do. He's trimming. He's trimming. It's what you do anyway. Tonight's going to be epic.
March fourth, seventeen eighty nine. US Constitution goes into effect as the first session of Congress meets in New York. Seventeen ninety one, Vermont becomes the fourteenth state. Eighteen twenty nine, the White House is overrun with party goers when Andrew Jackson holds an open house to celebrate his inauguration. Woo, I can't even imagine. Eighteen thirty seven, Illinois legislature grants a city charter to Chicago. Abraham Lincoln delivers his second
inaugural address on this date in eighteen sixty five. In nineteen thirty three, Francis Perkins, Secretary of Labor in FDR's administration, becomes the first woman to serve in the cabinet. So there you go. That was largely because of Eleanor Eleanor Roosevelt. She probably made that happen. It is National Sun's Day, Sons Marching Music Day, so grab a susaphone player and give them a hug. National Grammar Day. Oh my National hug A Gi Day, National pound Cake Day. Let me
tell you something. When I see a pound cake, I think of my mom. I think pound cakes are one of the most underrated cakes desserts ever. They just don't get their due. A well made pound cake doesn't need a thing with it that you can enjoy it with a little icing on it. You can enjoy it with some ice cream. But a good pound cake it needs nothing. I just see that cake and I'm just like, ah, I remember when I moved out of the house and I wasn't getting moms pound cakes anymore. Sarah Lee Baby,
go into the fro and food department. See that Sarah Le pound cake. I could do a surly pound cake in a day. I could down one in a day. I'll just take a little slice. Oh that was pretty good. Yeah, I'll do another one. I mean, what's another one? I mean it's just three slices. Loo. If I'm gonna do three, what's the problem with four? Next we you know, half the cake's gone, And then I look at it and I'm like, well, why would I save it? Just eat the thing. National Pancake Day and it is fat Tuesday
for those of you that care about that stuff. I'll try not to take it personal. Seventeen minutes past the hour, tea anyone, after we talked about that pinmcake called tea. Now, I was very calculated in what I ended that segment with a little tea with that pound cake. Now, I will tell you that just in my brain. Understand, I've never had a cup of coffee, but in my brain it would I would think that coffee would blend with pound cake better than tea. That's just And again I
don't know. You know, I ain't never adding no cup of coffee. Okay, I can't confirm that is true. So you know, coffee and pound cake me know it may you know it may be a thing like coffin link you know anyway, But I said tea anyone. Here's why this story Northwestern University has found. Listen to this tea lovers and those of you that might want to think about it. Now. I'm not a big tea drinker either. I will tell you that I love the smell of a good tea like I like a smell of the
smell of good coffee. But I will confess to you I hate cigarette smoke, but I love the smoke of a really good cigar, a really good pipe with high high quality. Now I'll never do it, but I grew up around guys, my dad's friends, who would smoke cigars in the men's grill, playing cards at these golf courses that I grew up playing at. And yeah, anyway, tea back to tea. Northwestern University has done a study that finds brewing tea removes harmful metals from water. And we're
talking the longer you brew the tea, the better. We're talking about removing fifteen percent of lead from drinking water. Lead and cadmium and other toxic metals that can be found in some waters are absorbed into the tea leaves. And if you're the type of person that likes to grab a few herbs out of the garden and just drop them in your tea as well, the bigger, the broader the leaf, the better. The metals just get absorbed right into them. It's crazy. We're talking not just lead,
but chromium, coppers, zinc, cadmium. I mentioned cellulose tea bags were better than cotton or nylon. But if you simply if you just do like leaves, just take your herbs and drop them in there and put water in them and let it steep for a while. The longer you let it steep, the bigger, the broader the leaf, the better the removal. Now they're just saying it naturally does this. They're not making any claims about your health. Perhaps over time they'll be able to determine that this does in
fact help a lot. Lead is a big deal to kids. It's highly toxic, which is why lead based paints and things like that that you know these when you remodel an old home that has lead based whatever, there has to be some remediation done in those things. You have to deal with it. Remodelers will tell you there's this little stick or whatever and you just kind of you dab it with the paint. You moisten it, dab it and it turns a certain color. It tells you there's
a lead in there. And then you gotta you gotta put on the hazmat suits and you got to get all that stuff off before you do anything else. That's just kind of a thing thing you have to do. But my point here is that brewing teas and look, we're getting into the iced tea season that maybe maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to just do your own ice teas. Some people like doing that. Some people like the process as opposed to just going out
to the store and buying a gallon of tea. But some people enjoy the process of putting the tea bags in and doing their own kind of custom brewed, sweetened or unsweetened teas. I'm just saying, if it's a thing, this study says that it helps remove toxins from water, So I'm just saying, there you go. See, that's how we roll here. Got all kinds of stories. We talk about just politics only, no talk about all kinds of useful things. Twenty seven past the hour, Joys in the
press box on deck. Thanks for joining us. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let's do some matthea real quickly. First of all, who's playing chess and checkers here? Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing investing one hundred billion in manufacturing plants in the United States over the next four years. A little let's get even cozier to the United States and ants of any problems with China, just saying that's clever. But let's do the math. Trump has been in office just
over one month. Right, So we've got the one hundred billion from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, five hundred billion from Apple, twenty seven billion from zep Bound, one hundred billion from SoftBank, twenty billion from DAMAC, five hundred billion from Stargate, six hundred billion from the Saudis two trillion in investments in manufacturing jobs in America in just over
a month. I still remember when Barack Obama said, those jobs are gone, they're not coming back, returning the page, We're not doing that stuff anymore. First of all, how patently stupid was he? So what we're going to just hand over manufacturing to India and China and our enemies? What have you lost your ever loving mind? UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer and French President Emmanuel mccran light socialist, hard socialist, trying to get a deal back together. Allegedly,
Zelenski said, I'll sign the mineral deal whatever. Dude, when you really are ready for peace, you let us know. We're not taking the speeches anymore. Here's what's interesting. How did this How did this concession that involves those two guys stating publicly that European countries would quote step up their own share of the burden towards security guarantees for Ukraine. That doesn't happen unless Trump says get out once again. The art of the deal. Trump's not going to be
right on everything. He's not gonna Anyone that's ever been in business knows sometimes the deal just doesn't work or gamble doesn't pay off. Now there's certain gambles you can't be wrong on. And then there's Hakeem Jeffries latest delusion. He's actually trying to suggest that Democrats are behind the correct policies on immigration. Listen to the Quinnipiac poll, Democrats had a twenty two percent approval rating, lowest ever. Sixty
eight percent of voters disapprove with Democrats. They're not reading the room, and I am thrilled. You keep on thinking that Trump's not doing what the majority of this country wants. You just keep on thinking that. Again, they're going to be some difficult times, but this is brilliant. Inside the Quinnipiac poll, it also showed that even forty three percent of Democrats agree with Trump's work on the border, overwhelming majority of Americans. Forty minutes past the album speaking of
the border, stick around. Yeah, we got some weather coming in the area tonight and tomorrow, so be paying attention. Listen to your radio morning friends. If you're just joining us, great to share time with you as always, I said the boy, oh boy, yeah, and and I just let me let me go ahead and say that Thursday, eight oh five Eastern, seven oh five Central, do not miss that that segment. Need to need to share something with you and talk to you a little bit about something
very important. No, I'm not quitting, not retiring. No. Federal agents arrested two Guatemalan men Friday operating one of the largest human smuggling trafficking rings in America. Two guys picked up near downtown La are accused of moving twenty thousand illegal immigrants into the US from Guatemala. I did a little stereotyping with this story when I was talking about it with my wife yesterday. I'll leave that alone. I'll
use discretion and not insult people. I just looked at the picture of one guy that's still at large that they're looking for, and I was like, yeah, anyway, here's how the scam worked. Sc not a scam. This is human trafficking. They charged migrants fifteen to eighteen thousand dollars per person for safe passage into this country. Once here, they're charged again for transportation across the country. They moved these people into at least twenty states plus Washington DC.
Those who did not pay their fees were then held hostage in what are called stash houses. One was in Los Angeles where these two guys were arrested last year. The mother of a migrant was threatened and said she would come home in a box if her fees for smuggling her were not paid. The the reasons you shut the border down is you close business like this, You really do, because now you're not talking of, you know, trying to get people in amongst the crowd. As we
heard from Hezus Rodriguez last week. Agents now can get out there and do their job. Once we get a handle on the border, then the Trump administration needs to sit down with business leaders, industry leaders and determine what type of immigration needs to take place in this country and then create a system that is efficient. Because our legal immigrations system is broken. We need people that want to be here. Personally, it would be hard for me to if I'm the president, I would have a tough
time saying yes to Islamis. I would there would have to be some deep, deep vetting. Here's the problem. A true an islamis that really wants the ideals and freedoms of America. You're not getting letters of reference from them because that gets them killed in their home countries. So I don't pretend to have the answer to how you fix legal immigration. I just know that you can't do
it until you stop illegal immigration. All right, when we come back those of you living north of the border in Georgia, you've got to be thrilled with some representation you're going to have in the Miss Georgia USA pageant. We'll talk about that next forty seven minutes past the hour, it is the Morning Show with Preston Scott Wufla. Erica Donald's on Fox and Friends right now in the morning.
This is Clever Byron Donald's member of Congress, announced his run for governor, and look at Erica on Fox and Friends. By the way, she is a very very very sharp lady. She has got a lot of game and she is she's a policy nerd in a major way. I've had her on the program a couple times over the years. It's been a while. I've never had Byron on the show, which actually shocks me. But I'm sure that'll change over the next couple of years. But hey, let's focus here
north of the border, Georgia. Come on, Peaches, listen to me. Now, what are you doing? Miss Buckhead USA, which will compete for Miss Georgia USA? Is a dude? The story from the Atlanta News first step, of course, Butcher's the story by insisting on calling a dude a her or them are there and that more on that coming up next hour. Which it's almost funny if it weren't so such a grammatical train wreck, I mean enough to make a literacy grammar English teacher drive off a road or off a cliff.
It's comical, but it's already sparking controversy. But Bella Bautista said she is optimistic. No no, he For the first time an openly transgender woman has announced her into no his facts matter, And then it says this at the end, a Mexican woman has never won Miss Georgia before. Well, if the political wokeness of Georgia comes to bear in this pageant and he were to win, you still won't
have had I think about that for a second. So Hispanic Mexican women will still be shut out, but the claim will be that this dude is the first who doesn't see how just wrongness is. And for those of you that think you got to just give this up Preston, Oh no, I don't. Second hour of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott is next. If I've passed the hour Good Morning Friends Morning Show with Preston'scott, Ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and females only welcome to the program. Thanks so much for sharing time with us. The State of the State Address can be watched on the Florida Channel at eleven am. I want to hear what Governor Ron de Santas has to say. That's what you do. I said that this is just not stopping at the end. You know, some of you might be thinking, give it
a break, preston this trans issue. I can't because this show talks about the things that are going on in our country, in our world that impact and affect you and I. This affects us. I have granddaughters. In a matter of four months, I'll have three granddaughters. The heck, I'm not talking about this. I am. I am going to do everything possible to not leave behind a world where men can walk into a women's restroom, where men can go into a women's girls locker room, where boys
compete against girls, where men compete against women. No, I'm sorry. And and if this bothers you, honestly, you're on. You've got this wrong. You're midsting out. You need to care. It needs to matter to you a lot. And so it's not stopping. And so it's not stopping because it's in the news. I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to talk about a main lawmaker. Maine's not following
the President's executive order on this stuff. Maine's continuing to allow boys to compete against girls, men to compete against women. One Republican in the main legislature had enough, Laura Libby. She posted the fact that a boy finished fifth place in boy's pole vault last year, but this year won the girls competition. She's censured for that. She can't speak in the on the floor, she's not allowed to vote until she apologizes. Excuse me, first of all, I'd be suing.
That's that's that's that's just wrong. But this boy publicized himself becoming a girl. There's public photos of him standing on the platform in fifth place and now standing on the platform in first. She simply pointed out the fact that he's a he's a boy. So she gets punished
for daring to speak the truth. Meanwhile, there are girls, one of whom should have won the gold medal, the first place ribbon, the first place trophy in pole vaulting in Maine, and she was prevented from winning because of a boy who came in fifth the year before, not good enough to win and medal. This is wrong. One of the girls that is suing the NCAA San Jose State University a volleyball player named brook Slusser. She's now been forced off campus for daring to say the obvious.
You know, San Jose State University made the NCAA tournament, but if you look at the record, they won with a six foot one male Blair Fleming, who oh, by the way, is competing on nets that are lower than guys nets. They finished twelve and five in conference. Six of those twelve wins were by forfeit because other teams wouldn't compete. They've seen what's happened. See what happens when a guy cranks a spike and hits the head the face of a female athlete. You break her neck, You
cause paralysis. There are six teams had said we're not doing that, We're not putting our girls in front of that. But now we've got the young lady who is having to sue she has been constantly harassed and threatened on campus to the point where she's she has to take her classes off campus online. Do you realize how wrong that is? Of course you do. But here's the thing. This is getting more and more dangerous. Ten past the hour, and those dangers they're becoming more widespread and worse. And
this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Now for the vast majority of you, these stories will be news and new news at that Research Assistance because they doggedly look for stories. Might be aware of some Grand Prairie, Alberta. The story of Alice Michael Atwood thirty five, a very unattractive man, let alone woman, Grand Prairie parent charged with aggravated assault child at stolery recovering from knife wounds. Now
trying to read this story is tortuous. A Grand Prairie parent, Alice Michael Atwood, was arrested in charge with aggravated assault following a February nineteenth incident that left their to their two children. Wait, there was only one person listed, Alice Michael Atwood, that left their two children with knife. There was there somebody else. See what I'm saying, No, because they're using the preferred pronouns. So reading the story is agony, But actually it's made war by what this sick pud
did to his own children. He stabbed one in the chest and slit the throat of the other. They're surviving. But listen to what this sick perpetrator did for the individual may pose a risk to themselves or to themselves, what to his himself. But no, no, we're now in a different world. This this guy was a health services worker. Listen to what he said. I stabbed a hole in her shoulder, Yes, but but it shut until ems arrived. Yes, I stabbed her, but I didn'ter like that at all.
I was trying to remain optimistic giving my situation. That doesn't mean I haven't been remorseful. It sucks, and I apologize. I'll just take my space, do my therapy. Some of you have doubted me and thought I was being mean when I said this is mental illness. Now this person doesn't really deserve our sympathy or empathy. They need to be sentenced for a very long time for their crimes and then be given therapy and help in the midst of it. The dude stabbed his own children. Don't tell
me this isn't mental illness. But these stories are complicated because when you start reading this and you get stuck on the writing of it, you're like, whatever, I'm not But no, no, no, see, I went through this. I braved the writing of this story to get the story. This is one story. What I want you to note is how we're seeing these violent crimes coming out by transgenders. Don't give me this because they're not accepted. That's nonsense. There are a lot of places I'm not accepted. No,
I'm being very honest with you. But you don't. You don't harm people, you don't commit crimes. You don't stab your children, you don't put explosives in a car and drive them into a building. You don't do that because you're not accepted. Even if you accept that premise seventeen
past the hour more to come. United States Attorney's Office in the District of Colorado announced that it has charged forty two year old Lucy Grace Nelson after police say they found a number of explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership. Lucy Grace, Lucy Grace Nelson, Oh, I'm sorry, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson. Now, the headline on this Fox
News story is woman arrested after explosives discovered at Tesla dealership. Now, the writer Alexandra Coke is probably not responsible for the headline, though maybe in the modern era of new Well, let me back up. Back in the day, writers would write a story and might suggest a head headline, but the news editor would inevitably write the headline. So I won't pin the headline on Alexandra. But later in the story, Alexandra writes she was arrested without incident. No, he was.
But let's let's for a second, set aside the fact that we had. We now are battling writers Fox Fox News. Now I'll tell you I wrote her. I wrote Alexandra Coke. I said, Alexandra, do you mind explaining to me why you chose to insist on referencing him as a her, he as a she, because it's factually wrong. Of course, I've not gotten a response just yet, so let's set that part aside. Let's set aside that we are now battling the mainstream media again on another issue of fact.
It would be perfectly appropriate to say that this guy insists on people referring to him as a her. That's factual. But to refer to him then in the article as a her is not factually accurate. So I have a problem with that just as a foundational precept. But let's take it a step further here. This is another trans that's trying to blow up a Tesla dealership because they're pissed at Elon Musk. Forgive me for using the term I just did, because it sounds a little base. I
get that they're upset at Elon Musk. This sign of mental illness. It's a sign again they're proving my theory. With everything that they're doing, they're proving me correct. Now. The other thing I want to point out is, you know Justin here. Justin's an average looking dude apart from really ratty hair and split ends. And I would think that the proper conditioner would help him with his split ends.
And dude, don't let your hair dry getting out of the shower without running, you know, a comb through it or a brush or something. Get those those rats out of it. I'm just saying, if you're gonna get your hair long, you know, just you, you'd improve yourself a little bit. But he's an average looking dude. He's just an average dude. But he is an ugly woman. What are you thinking? You're just an average looking dude. There's nothing wrong with that, so am I I'm an average
looking dude. I would be a horrifically ugly woman, as in whoa train, take dirt road? Avoid that? What is it? What is it? All right? I promise you that's the last story like that for the day. But think about it all noteworthy violence or robbing actual women of opportunities. We've gone better than a half hour. Four five stories now now involved significantly important stories involving transgenders. I got
Kat Camick joining me next hour. I'm gonna ask her, do you really think that that not making this DNA requirement is necessary? Because we've were the only way we're going to deal with this is is It's sad is the Law? Twenty eight past the hour, Big stories in the press Box coming up next. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thirty seven minutes past, just for a quick look at the big stories. President's State of
the Union address tonight Joint Session of Congress. I think important for President Trump to talk past Republicans and Democrats, and by that I mean he needs to be more aspirational and lofty than parties. He needs to not worry, and he won't. He won't worry about who's in the room. He needs to speak to the American people now. He's talking about the renewal of the American Dream. That is a brilliant line. I don't know who came up with it, but he needs to. He needs to share why he's
doing what he's doing. He needs to share right now the importance of two years from now in the next election, electing people that believe in the American Dream as the founders framed it. He needs to take the time to explain to the American people why DEI is opposite of what it claims. He needs to use examples like if DEI is such a wonderful thing, then why aren't we
including it in our sports? Why isn't for example, the NBA made up equally of blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians and so forth based on population, he said, because what he needs to say is because in sports, we're attracted to seeing the best fill in the blank at their sport play their game, and we don't care what color they are. If you look in the crowds of stadium, you see fans of all colors wearing the jerseys of all colored players, black, white, Asian, Hispanic,
It doesn't mean you get my point. He needs to connect the dots for the American people on why we need to transform the size of government, how that relates to the amount of money taken out of their paycheck. He needs to plant the seed. Imagine what would be like the next time you get a paycheck. Take a look at how much money's taken out. Imagine a system where that money's not taken, but that when you purchase things at the store, it's just collected simply there. He
needs to make the argument. He needs to point out why he's taken the approach he's taken on tariffs that all seeking as reciprocal tariffs do you know that in that there are countries where we are taxed in for Canada hits some of our products with two hundred to three hundred percent tariffs, meaning the price of an item is two to three times more expensive than the actual cost of the item going into the country. He needs to lay it out while there are other things going on.
I think this this address, I don't think he'll do everything that I'm suggesting. I'll be thrilled if he does. We'll get We'll get the perspective. At least one member of Congress coming up in just a little bit, congress Woman Cat Camick joins us in less than a half hour here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. The guy who's likely responsible for the death of a Texas deputy. He's released on bond in Houston. What even the mayor
of Houston, who's Democrats calling out the district attorney? What are you doing? Killed a cop? He's back out on the street. GPS surveillance is meaningless. Warren Buffett did an interview with CBS News is Nora O'Donnell, and he was asked about the economic impacts of the tariffs that Trump is putting in play, Buffett quote, over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean the tooth ferry doesn't pay him. And then what You always have to ask
that question in economics, you always say, and then what? Well, let me just pause for a second here, because I remember Warren Buffett famously saying that he would be happy to pay more taxes, that he's going to follow the law, that if the law requires him to pay more taxes, he'll pay more taxes. And I couldn't help but think to myself, why is it that people like Warren Buffett don't just pay more taxes if they feel morally obligated
to do so. You do realize that you can stroke a check to the US Treasury anytime you want and designate it to pay off the debt of the country. In fact, if you give me just a second here, I can tell you exactly where to mail it, because I remember things like this. I remember Buffett complaining that he really should pay his fair share. But what's interesting about this comment that he made is that over time, they are a tax on goods. See, without saying it,
he's saying it. And he's saying what we have been explaining for twenty three years on this show, people pay taxes. Whenever the cry is made the businesses don't pay their fair share, well, you pay it. You pay it when you buy their good and service. That's why taxing businesses exorbitantly is patently foolish and merely puts pressure to inflate prices. That's why this is at the core of explaining part of why Biden's tax policies increase pressures and caused inflation
to skyrocket. Because when you tax businesses, they pass it on to you and me. It's not that complicated. Businesses have a fiscal fiduciary responsibility to make money. That's how they remain in business. To pay their employees, to give raises, to pay for benefits, to pay for liabilities that might come up in the operation of their business, to pay dividends back to investors. These are the basics of economics. We don't teach in school anymore, so we have too
many people that are fiscally illiterate. When he was asked about the condition of the US economy, he would not comment, saying quote, well, I think that's the most interesting subject in the world, but I won't I can't talk about it though I really can't really, why can't you? Warren Buffett. By the way, he did go on to add that the majority of the money he manages will always be in the United States. When asked, he said, it's the
best place. I was lucky to be born here. Of course you were, sir forty seven minute, it's after the hour. Have you forgotten about the McDonald's French fries scandal? All right? This story stood out because we talked about the steak and shake fries going to beef tallow, and I had a research assistant send this to me. Obviously, McDonald's fries
are legendary. They're good, come on, they are. According to the research assistant, they used to use beef tallow and that what they did is they added beef flavoring to stand under cooking oil in the nineties. Maybe McDonald's initially used ninety three percent beef fat tallow for their French fries in an effort to save money back when it was founded, and in nineteen eighty five they changed and then apparently they went with vegetable oil but added kind
of a beef flavoring, and so it was. It was apparently quite the outrage back in the time. And so here we go back to what they used to do. So you know who knows, steak and shake may drag McDonald's right back back to their successful roots, which was probably a lot healthier too. Isn't that interesting? The evolution of fast food actually caused things to get worse, not better. Anyway. I've heard via a friend of the show that I'm invited to a local Steak and Shake to sample. I
have not made arrangements to do that just yet. I will say that a steak and shake Queso burger is minus the jalapenos is a thing of beauty. I love Keeso dripped on a hamburger. You know why. It reminds me of the days of Fudruckers when they had the hamburger bar, and you just you got the hamburger and you did whatever you wanted to it. And I would get that ladle of cheddar cheese and just drop that
cheddar cheese on that bad boy. That was just and the case Oberger is just a tastier version of that. Good memories got Cat Camick coming up in just a little bit, uh, and we'll talk about a lot of things with Congresswoman Cammick. We've got the budget reconciliation process to talk about. We'll talk about the we'll talk about the debt and that we're adding to it, we're not taking away. And I need to see if she has a better understanding of what the method is to the
madness on that. Like I said, I'm not going to agree with everything Donald Trump does or doesn't do. But I can tell you this, I will one percent sign up for eight more years on top of the four we've got of this. I will sign up for that right now, because we're moving the pendulum back the other way, and that's something that we have been waiting for. Not less movement to the left. That's not good enough. We need the pendulum swinging back to the right. Welcome ruminators.
If you are just joining us this morning. Thanks, This is the allotted time that you have for us. We welcome you and they're grateful for any moments you can spare with thoughts. I'd love to have you for all three hours. I I think we're great company for those three hours, sort of almost like cozying up to your favorite magazine, only it's an audio magazine and we turn the pages all the time. We have different guests and different interviews, different stories, different things to talk about, and
we try to do that. And yes, I'm stalling right now. We're waiting for congress Woman Cat Camick to join us. It is the day of the President's State of the Union address. I cannot This is going to be brilliant theater. It's absolutely going to be spectacular theater. And I know that she's anxious for what's going to happen, and so joining us is Representative Cat Camick from Florida's third district. How excited are you for the theater that will be the State of the Union.
I am very excited. I have had to sit through four years of Joe Biden, and so tonight is going to be about redemption and talking about the potential and exceptionalism of America. And I know we're also excited. What I am not looking forward to is the jockeying for seats that will inevitably begin at like five o'clock tonight. It gets a little silly in there sometimes, and the length that people will go to it's a little nuts. But uh, yeah, it's gonna be a great night. I'm very excited.
Okay, now, hold on, hold on, let's not brush past that for a second. Here, tell us more. Come on, now, let's let's kind of do it. Let's do a little inside Congress thing.
Here, come on, Oh gosh, all right, Well you'll find out when you turn on the television cameras tonight. So there's you know, we've all seen it in the movies.
There's this main aisle where the sergeant at arms when the president comes in, the sergeant at arms announces to the chamber, you know, uh, mister speaker, the President of the United States, and the whole chamber like comes up and is roaring, and it's like, ah, well, what people don't know is that they have embedded mics in this particular aisle, and so the hot there is always a
hot mic. And what members some members do, I'll say, is they will lie seat and shield a seat and oh my gosh, I haven't had coffee, Lie seal and cheat. That is what I'm getting at to get into the seat that is closest to that aisle. And I'll never forget. Even if it was a Democrat president, you know, you had Republicans that were jockeying because what they want is that shot of them leaning over and shaking the President's hand as he walks down the aisle. And so it
is incredible. People will literally lay out clothing, purses, cell phones, like They'll start laying this stuff out throughout the day claiming these seats, which is kind of funny to me because it always gets messed up and when you get
in there. But I remember a couple of years ago, the mics were on and Biden had come in and a colleague of mine had started talking some pretty harsh smack and of course the hot mic and I got a text message and it was from the speaker and they said, can you please remind so and so that the mics are hot and we have just heard that whole string of expletives about how stupid they think the
president is. And I said, oh yes. And so there's literally a clip of me, you know, in the the span archives of me leaning over to this gentleman being like, hey, friend, hot mike.
Oh my goodness.
Oh well.
The only time I know of anything that's like that is the back row Church. People fight for that seat for similar reasons, I think. But us Congress and Kat Camick with us get to the business at hand. Next here on the Morning Show with Preston.
Scott and this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
US congress Woman Kat Camick with us for a few minutes on a very busy day. They're all busy days when you're in Congress, but Congress women, thanks you as always for making time for us. We've talked a lot this morning about women's spaces and protecting women's sports and girls' sports and beauty pageants and whatever else is generally, you know, created as a place for women to compete
or be part of exclusively for them. Why aren't we getting a law that ties this to DNA because birth Certificates isn't going to get it done right.
It's incredibly frustrating, and as we all saw yesterday, Democrats in the Senate took down the bills that would have codified protecting women in girls' sports and spaces. And there's just no rhyme or reason to it. I really think that so much of this moment is tied into the fact that we have an identity crisis at the core
of the Democrat Party. They can't decide if they are going to keep leaning into the progressive left, woke nonsense or if they're going to go back to some sense of common sense of you know, yes, we do protect women's sports. But they still haven't figured that out. That's evidenced by the fact that you had dozens of them voting against it. In fact, right now on Twitter, it
is trending the phrase democrats hate women. What is so striking to me is last year we held a press conference in front of the Capitol talking about protecting women's sports, and I would say, in that moment, with moms and you know, aunts and all these women from around the country that had come to talk about this issue, would work on this issue. I would say half of them
were Democrats. And what's crazy is they would lean over and say, listen, we're probably not going to agree on many other topics, but on this one, like, we're all in with you guys. And they felt such dismay at the fact that they the Democrats had left them on this issue. But it's just it's so sad that basically every Democrat on the on the Senate side just put into the record that they really do they hate women. I don't know what is going to happen with the left,
and I don't know how we move forward. If we can't even agree that little girls should not be competing against boys, it's so sad.
Are we relying then on the United States Supreme Court to settle this matter since the politicians won't.
I think ultimately it will get there, and I think this is going to go into other areas where you see now with the announcement that Trump made that there are two genders, which I mean, come on, common sense. Hello. You know people are saying, well, my passport has you know, an X, and I don't have to give you my gender.
Well that's just absurd. I do think because what we saw here this week in the Senate it means that this is going to be everything from the birth certificates to the passports, to college admissions to the sports issue, all of these things are going to have to go to the highest court. And I do believe, given who the makeup of the court is, is that ultimately truth will prevail. But it's just sad that we have to have this conversation and we can't even agree on that.
If we can't agree on that, then how the heck else are we going to get for movement on the really really big ticket items that's what's a little bit concerning to me.
Do you agree it has to be DNA not birth certificate because there's too many states that can just change it based on the request of the person on the birth certificate. Yes, I mean.
Talk about one eighty that has happened here in the last three decades. You know, the left use is scream at us about, you know, follow the science, follow the science. And who's following the science now, like, clearly not you. I mean the notion that there's what ninety two genders and some nonsense. It's absurd. It is absolutely absurd. And meanwhile, our adversaries abroad are looking at us and saying they've lost their ever living mind. This is a great moment
for us to strike economically, militarily. I mean, it is absolutely terrifying when you get into the skiff and you really see and hear what's happening around the world, and then you come out of the skiff and you run into a Democrat colleague who wants to talk to you about why there should be ninety two genders. It's like, get a clue, dude.
This is the first You almost have to be careful saying.
Dude, no, I know well, and it's you know, it's it's just really frustrating. It is absolutely absurd that this is the point that we are at. But I still believe despite all the craziness, you know, people in this country are going to experience a renaissance like we've never seen. I've been saying this for years and now we have, you know, President Trump saying this, you know about the Golden Age. I really do believe it. But I do also believe that, you know, the saying of what is it,
hard times create good men, strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. It's this cycle. And it's almost like we've we've been so blessed in the country with just that and opportunity and all these wonderful things. So many people have sacrificed before us to give us, and we have
to manufacture problems now, Like it's just absurd. So people are going to really enter that whole f around find out era, and I think we're entering that place right now.
US congress Woman Cat Camick, with US Florida's third congressional district, our guest for one more segment here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We've gotten some behind the scenes dirt on what goes on at these speeches. I guess it's technically I've been corrected. It's not a State of the Union speech because it's his first speech with this
Congress as president. So whatever. You've written and talked a lot about the budget process, conciliation process, congresswoman, tell me just your personal thoughts on the budget and kind of where we are. I saw a forecast deficit of two trillion, and I just I cried.
Mmm, And I think it's going to continue to get worse. You know. One of the things that we have talked at length about is the upcoming Reconciliation Bill, upcoming CR and there's a lot of mashing of teeth over the idea that we cut a trillion or one point five trillion, and you know, Dariy say we need to cut more. But more than that, the one time cuts are very important,
and reducing the spending is critical. Sure, but but regulatory reform will actually handle a lot of the dysfunction in Washington. You've heard me talk about the Rains Act. I'm like a broken record on this. The largest regulatory reform effort in American history. It's called the Rains Act. I've been proud to lead it for the last four years, and we've passed it out of the House. It always dies in the Senate. But it is the way that we
drain the swamp. And if you don't tackle regulatory reform, you're never going to substantially get to a place of
deficit neutrality and then ultimately tackling the debt. Because what I tell the Budget Chair and Speaker and all my colleagues is if we can get the regulatory regime under control, effectively draining the swamp, then what we should do is do a structured debt repayment deal where on autopilot a percentage and I don't care if it's a quarter of a percent, a half a percent, a percent, it doesn't matter to me. That's not important. What is important is you take a percentage of GDP and you put it
on autopilot. That goes directly to paying down the principle on our debt. Because right now the interest on our debt outpaces what we spend on defense YEP. So there's never any any anything substantial to bring it down. And if you peg it to a percentage rather than a fixed dollar amount. It will adjust and you know, account for the cyclical nature of the economy. So in good years, more will go down, you know, paying down, and in you know, tougher years there will be less. But it's
still making those payments. And this is just so simple to me because this is you know, what you're taught when you get your first credit card is don't make the minimum payment. But you got to keep kipping away at it. You know, I think, what is it? Dave Ramsey calls it the snowball message? Ye got to start.
Somewhere and where does why is that dying? Who is killing it? Of the because the Republicans are in charge of the Senate, So where is it dying in the Senate?
So the Rains Act has always run into the hurdle of it can't overcome the filibuster in the Senate, which is why we have worked so incredibly hard to get it as part of the reconciliation package, because reconciliation does not is not subject to the sixty votes threshold in.
The Cornet correct And.
So that's where we're putting a lot of eggs in that basket. But knowing how uh, how dysfunctional. The swamp up here really is. We're we're also looking to put the reins Act on every appropriations bill on a cr any means we possibly can. We're looking to attach it to a vehicle that is a must pass because we
have to be creative, you know. There as much as people want to talk about, you know, being purity of purpose and you know, all principled, there's some chicken crap politicians up here that have campaigned very hard on balancing the budget and cutting government spending. But they're the first one behind a closed door to be like, oh my gosh, I can't cut that. That's my pet project back home. Oh no, It's it's the same conversation about ear marks.
You know, when I I'm the only Republican in Florida in the congressional delegation that does not do ear marks, and that blows people's Minds're like why don't you? And I said, well, you support those right, yeah, of course, and your earmarks are any different.
How God bless you. That's why you're on this show, Kat, because you're the only one doing it.
It's it's a lonely place.
Yeah, but you know what it's, it's better to be right and unpopular than wrong and the bell of the ball. Yeah, and God bless you now, I'm serious. Thank you. You're always going to have an audience here and always know if something comes up in between our visits, you just have atline, get me, get me word and I'm making time for you.
Oh, you're the best. I do appreciate you more than you know. And thanks for always sharing all the crazy work that we're up to, especially since this week we're gonna be drop, going to build. It's a real doozy. Come on, already mad about it? Come on?
I love it. Hey. By the way, Kat, remember the hot mics?
Oh yes, yes, you know I might just roll in with duct takes. You know, who knows.
I know what if you've got a spot, just just put put my name out there on the hot mic. Just don't say Scott Preston. Okay, just don't do that.
Hey, that's what happens when you're given two first names.
I know I've got three. In fact, I got three first and three last. Cat, You're the best, Thanks so much.
Be well, appreciate it.
Thank you all right, Kat camick with us? Do you hear that? Only one? And I know it. I've been fighting for people in Congress to say, no, we're not taking pork in our district. We can't do it. She's the only one, and that's why she's a guest on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WSLA. Yeah we're a little late, but that's okay. How good was that little dirt on what goes on grabbing those
seats is great? And Kat is about the people's business. I want you to think about something. She said. She's the only member of Florida's Republican delegation that does not accept earmarks. She doesn't seek out sausage, no pork for her district. I have begged our congressional representatives since I've been on this show to take the same principal position. Stand up and say I'm not seeking any pork, any earmarks for my district because our country is in debt
and we can't afford it. My district is just as important as your district. But it's time we stop the spending. I want to point out how big her reelections have been. Her district's loving it. It's not political suicide to say no to stupid congressional spending. And that's what members of Congress have been telling me off the record for years. Oh you got to you got to bring back the you gotta bring back the pork. No, you don't. You
need to look outside yourself anyway. Apparently there is the framework for a new deal with Ukraine involving the mineral rights and all that to the United States. The United States plays a significant role. But apparently the UK Prime Minister and the French President have come to the realization that Europe does indeed need to step up more. Those are their words, not mine their words. Let me read it, Let me read it. Just I don't want you to
say you're just putting words in there. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no. European countries need to quoting step up to their own share of the burden toward the security guarantees of Ukraine. Once again, Trump say no yields results. They're over there going. God, he's serious. Kick the dude out. He's not writing him anymore checks. We gotta do something to help keep Russia kind of at bay here. We gotta, we gotta man. We gotta hit the gym. That's what
the yours are saying right now. We gotta hit the gym. Time to pump you up. Trump just gave them the tremendous amount of incentive. Brilliant, and it works when you do the right thing, it works. President needs to be aspirational, the renewal of the American dream. Brilliant. Whoever thought of that? Give him a raise, got some other things to get to. We'll do that next forty minutes past the hour, it is The Morning Show with Preston.
Scott of Realville, dispensing information at the speed of sound. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Casey Anthony joins TikTok Substack as legal advocate and research of Sweet Jesus. It was just her daughter, don't worry about it. Great piece here in the Federalists by Chris Bray, and I think to give this its proper due. Chris Bray is a former infantry sergeant in the US Army, history PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, otherwise known as UCLA, author of Court Marshall, How Military Just this has shaped America from the Revolution to nine to
eleven and beyond. So he's a student of history. He's a doctor of history, besides being an army man. Headline, it isn't a crisis for Trump to fire flag officers. It's a crisis to think he can't. Five four former secretaries of Defense have written a letter talking about the dangers of Donald Trump relieving generals from the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, wherever, coastguard. And they find the firing of these generals deeply disturbing and it compromises
our security. Let's just let's hit the brake for just a second here, let's pump the brakes here. Tell me when was the last time a group of experts signed a letter regarding Trump. Oh? Yeah, wasn't it the former intelligence officers that said that the Hunter laptop story and all of that was Russian disinformation? God, that playbook just they haven't burned it yet. They're still going back to it.
So Lloyd Austin, along with some others who I won't even bother in, Leon Panetta and others who probably should never have been a Secretary of Defense but were, they're out there talking about how reckless this is and so forth. Bray correctly writes, No, the president has the authority to remove these officers. They serve at the pleasure of the president. He's the commander in chief. And it's happened in every war this country has ever fought, including the Civil War.
And when remember the work of Abraham Lincoln and removed generals who didn't follow his directives and weren't getting the job done. If you go back through military history, you find that the president has in fact done this routinely. It happened in World War Two. Routinely firing generals and admirals is not deeply disturbing. It doesn't undermine the military. There's a book by Thomas Rix on the history of
American generals. He asked three questions inside that book, how and why did we lose the long standing practice of relieving generals for failure, Why has accountability declined? And is it connected to the decline in the operational competence of American generals. The president's decay decision to fire flag officers isn't a break with American law and tradition. It's an embracing of it. It's one of those stories that falls
through the cracks. You don't give it much notice, because well, you know, it's from the Federalist and I don't really I don't know what that is. That's why I started with the credentials of the guy writing it. It matters forty six minutes past. Look at me back on time? To Britt, we're bringing the plane in on time? Am I the only one that thinks Bill Hemmer of Fox News formerly with CNN looks like a relative or a
close friend or brother sorry of Jim Carrey. He looks like he could be a brother of Jim Carrey, always has. He's a really good news guy, very very good at his job, has been even when he was at CNN. He was just and that's why he didn't last at CNN. He was right down the middle. Just Hey, guess who is going to be a guest to President Trump at
the presidential address tonight to the Nation? Guests of The Morning Show January, Little John January, you may remember fighting with the local Leon County school district over the effort to try to help her daughter transition to being a boy without her or her husband's knowledge or consent. They hit it, she found out about it led to a federal lawsuit. She's she's now a parent advocate with do
Noharmmedicine dot org. But she's she's a spokesperson on this radical effort by the LGBTQ plus community to sexualized children. She was able to help her daughter and save her daughter from it. She will be a guest to President Trump. She will be a guest on the show on Thursday morning. We'll have her back to describe what that was like, as well as give us an update on any progress
we're getting legislatively on stopping this. There are people inside of public schools that are are are looking for children to pick off. Trust me, it's happening. You need to be aware of it. Parents. Brought to you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. Tomorrow the program Personal Defense Jade Johnson also Thursday on the show, Oh, I will be sharing something very important. But we'll talk more about setting all that up tomorrow.
Big Stories Today, looking back at the program. In one hundred and eighty seconds or less, UK Prime Minister President of France talking about a plan to get a peace deal with Russia. They're looking for a thirty day ceasefire in which negotiations can take place to bring an in to the conflict. They're also acknowledging that Europe needs to step up. It can't just be the United States. Trump made the point, it's just now. The mainstream media is not going to tell you about this because they don't
want Trump to win anything. What's beautiful, though, is people hold the mainstream media in the single largest amount of contempt in the history of polling. The mainstream media outlets are trusted less now than ever in this kind and so what they think or do or don't do is almost irrelevant. It just is talked about. The flag officers. President can make those changes. Warren Buffett indirectly just confirmed a bunch of things we've said for years around here.
And won't comment on the economy because see, when Warren comments on the economy, it makes news, and he doesn't want to make news. Talked about the trans issue and how dangerous it's becoming. It's becoming ridiculously dangerous. Five different stories. Talked about a Guatemalan human smuggling ring out of California. Twenty thousand illegals smuggled in at an average of sixteen five hundred dollars per brewing tea removes harmful toxins from
your city water. Just saying, so, everybody brew some tea. And because it's a National pound Cake Day, have a pound piece of pound cake. Can't wait to see what we uncover for tomorrow. I still have things left over from today. Friends, have an awesome, awesome rest of your day.
