Transcript

Speaker 1

Hey, welcome friends. Did you get enough rain this weekend? Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm just damp. Welcome Monday on the Morning Show with Preston Scott March the tenth. I'm Preston, he is Jose And it's gonna dry out a little bit. The rainal slowly dissipate this morning, and we're gonna have some sunshine tomorrow on Wednesday. Looks like it before we who knows, but it's gonna warm up a little bit, and we thank you. Hope you had

a nice weekend. I did, went and saw my daughter and my grandchildren and my wife, and I enjoyed a nice visit with them. Just spent the day, had some lunch and just kind of wandered around and did a little window shopping and just enjoyed time. It was lovely. Hope you had some wonderful time this weekend. One Peter

three point fifteen. But in your hearts, honor Christ is Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect. Take that apart for just a quick second, in your hearts Honor Christ. Well let's go okay, Now I'm push you a little bit here. Out of the

abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. What's in your heart is revealed by what comes out of your mouth, just saying so, if you're one of those dudes that drops f bombs all the time, I'm just telling you, it's really tough to reconcile that kind of coarseness with having a heart that's given to Christ. In your hearts, honor Christ as Lord, and what comes out of your

mouth reveals what's going on in your heart. Then it says this, always be prepared to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that's in you. Why do you believe what you believe? Sounds silly, But if you ever just sat down and thought about preparing a defense, why do you have hope in God? What are your reasons? And if you're really struggle with what to say, that gives you a place to start doing a little studying and a little reading.

Ten Past the Hours The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Good Morning friends, Welcome to the program, and always pointing out and correcting what is not The Morning Show with Preston Scott inside the American Patriots Almanac. We go, let's see what we've got here, March the tenth. On this date in seventeen eighty five, Thomas Jefferson is appointed Minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin succeeded John Adams.

John Adams' sensibilities and biblical reverence was not appreciated by the French. He was not He did not comport himself in a manner that the French enjoyed. That is something that is well displayed in the in that mini series John Adams. It's really kind of a funny scene. Eighteen sixty four, Abraham Lincoln promotes Ulysses S. Grant, commander of the Union Armies. Really he changed a president, changed generals,

No way. Wow. Eighteen seventy six, Alexander Graham Bell succeeds in sending words over a telephone wire, mister Watson, come here, I want you Well, okay, Then you imagine here being on the other line on that thing for the first time hearing a voice. Oh, that's pretty cool. And on this date in two thousand, the Nasdaq closed at five thousand forty eight point six y two. What's the what's the Nasdaq right now? Twenty thousand? Okay, it is National

Napping Day. It's the Monday that follows daylight savings Time. Now, we're going to take some calls next hour and ask you do you favor getting rid of the switching of time. There's some momentum to get this done. It passed the Senate, the House said no, and so we're going to ask you what you think. Elon Musk did a poll. Better than a million took part in that poll. I'll give you the results later on. But we're going to ask you do you favor the switching of the clocks twice

a year? If not, do you want it to be forward daylight savings time as it is right now, just leave it as it is right now, or do you want it back the other way when daylight savings time is off, you want to keep it where you get a little extra daylight at the end of the day for more of the year. It seems like just yesterday we got off of you know where we got off of daylight savings time, and then we're in this standard time for what November December, January February, so we're four

months so most of the year. We're gaining a little bit more time at the end of the day, so I'm just think on that. We'll take some calls next hour. Today's National Mario Day. I have to tell you, I am intrigued by the Universal Studios. I forget what they're calling it now, Epic Adventures or something. I guess. Have they remade Universal Studios into these five different lands. I haven't gotten my mind around what they've done down there. I just know there's a Mario Land, and that looks

really cool. That looks fun. It's National Blueberry popover Day, and it is National Pack your Lunch Day. So there you go, sixteen past the hour. We got a busy day today on our side too.

Speaker 2

All right.

Speaker 1

We are going to try to help Capital Conservatives here in town grow their numbers. There will be some strategy meetings coming up soon, but for now, I just want to entice those of you that live in the Capital City to consider attending their meeting on the eighteenth, which is a week from tomorrow Tuesday night now tomorrow, a week from tomorrow. They hold their meeting at the Elks Lodge Dinners at five point thirty. You've got to reserve

your place if you want to have dinner. During dinner's eighteen bucks and you got to write a check and you need to reserve. I'm going to give you a phone number. You're ready. Eight five zero five five six fifty eight twenty seven. Yeah, eight five zero five five six fifty eight twenty seven. But if you just want to come to the meeting and not have dinner six fifteen ish six six fifteen, come on, no reservation required, to just show up. Doctor Karen Jumanville will be there.

The reason is because you live in this community. And she's going to talk about the things that impact the region, BUCkies coming to town. She's gonna talk about that midtown and the project. What what what will the project be? Now that FDOT has said, yeah, we're just we're we're not doing any of what we said. We're going to resurface the road, that's what we're gonna do, period end. We're not removing any of the center turn lanes. You win, good response. I think they were trying to make a

problem where there didn't need to be a solution. No, wait, they needed They were trying to create a solution where there wasn't really a problem anyway. Look, Thomasville wrote, is what it is. It bottlenecks down there. It just always will. It's not going to change because Midtown's too developed for that. You just get it's one of the eccentricities of the community. But doctor Jumnville is going to be talking about new

infrastructure projects, blueprint, FSU foundation, different developments. And I'm sure takes some questions. She's the new deputy director of the city working under Reese code. So if you I mean, this isn't really a conservative meeting, this one. This is about being knowledgeable and what's going on in your community. And I'll be honest with you, you don't have many opportunities to interact with city officials without going down there and sticking to your three minutes, And even at that,

what's that going to net you? This is probably more useful. So I digress. We'll get to fixing and growing, because look, the Capital Conservatives is a really important group. But the problem is they're not young enough. They don't have enough young members. And this is the time to get really young. This is when when they need some you know, college students, even some high school students, to start taking interest in what's going on people that have their head screwed on straight.

Being part of a conservative group in this community. Now, I'm going to do what I can to help them become more marketable and to market their ideals better, more successfully. But they've been doing great programs for years. Of course, you're gonna get you fried chicken, because that's what they do. They fried chicken almost I think almost every time. It's kind of like a thing. Get the chicken man. Just yeah, So twenty six past the hour. I will remind you

again later this week. We'll tell you again about it. But Capital Conservatives, I'll give you that phone number later in the week so you can preserve your dinner and prepare a check.

Speaker 3

What I'm saying, as your uncle, Preston the relative you actually enjoy having around and not just at the holidays. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1

Just about thirty five pass the big stories in the press box. A little different today now just quickly third hour, Salnwza will join us. Legislative update. Lots to talk about there. We're going to kind of take the governor's speech and what the speaker had to say and sort of contrast and compare, and there's quite a bit to contrast between the two approaches. But you know, we talked last week

about Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts. Robert's not so much a surprise, but the contention that is growing here is that Trump missed on appointing Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, that she is not under pressure adhering to originalist tendencies as was hoped, and she's made a couple of rulings that have really let down originalists. You know, the media portrays the Supreme Court as liberal conservative, and I even fall into that trap. It's just not. It's

originalist and activist. And in my mind, there is no room for an activist judge ever, in any level of court, because an activist judge does what they think they should do, not adhering to the law. A judge has to adhere to a law. And then if it's just if the judge rules according to the law and people are angry, they take that up with the people who made the law. It's the judge's job to interpret a ruling based on

the law, not on what they think. And sadly, a lot of people saw that Amy Coney Barrett was a clerk for Justice antonin Scalia and thought, well, he you know, Scalia is a legend as an originalist. Unfortunately, Amy Coney Barrett is not. And so she was one of those that ruled and allowed a district judge to stand. So here's what's happening. US Senator Mike Lee is proposing legislation that would require activist judges like district judges. There's two

hundred district court judges. Mike Lee is saying, well, we're going to We're going to change their their the limit of their reach, stripping activist judges in district levels from having the power to offer a nationwide injunction. They can offer an injunction in their district is the gist of it. Here's the problem, it's the Senate. How long will that take?

Will it happen? So Trump apparently is issuing or has issued to memorandum, and what he's going to do is he's going to require anyone who sues the federal government to put up a financial bond. In other words, they have to pay an injunction bond to file the case, so that if and when they lose, they have to pay court costs. They can't just sue, they have to pay for the right to sue. They'll be on the on the hook for any damages done and court costs

should they lose. I think it's a brilliant strategy. It'll slow down some of these lawsuits being filed in district courts, where what they do is they look at the two hundred judges and they look at who's soft, who's going to rule their way, who is appointed by who, who's an activist judge. They file the suit there, and now we've got a Supreme Court that has said, yeah, we'll let it stand. So we've got a district judge holding sway over the nation. That's not right. It just isn't right.

Even the appellate courts can only rule as it relates to the states that are inside their their district. So it's a very smart strategy. The other thing I wanted to put on your radar is what's going on in Syria. Jihades are killing Christians and a group that I had to look up to learn what they were, Allo Whites, and I mean we're talking they're murdering one hundreds thousands of Alohites and Christians in Syria. Now, this was warned by Tulsa Gabbard. Tulsa Gabbard said, this is gonna happen,

and this is going this is happening. It was warned back in December. In fact, I've got a piece here from the Middle East Forum. Turkey, Syria and Jihadis are taking over Syria, Kurds, half a million Christians under intolerable threat. And when you learn a little bit about the Alohites, it's why I said that if you don't adhere to their version of Islam, you're an apostate. Alowites they believe in the Koran, but they interpret it very differently, and so in them, in the minds of Shia and Sunnis,

Aloites are apostates, they are back slitten. And so there's a cleansing going on in Syria right now and Christians are being targeted as well. Forty minutes past the hour, just a reminder, don't take freedom for granted. Wufla student visiting Dominican Republic disappeared on a beach. It's gone missing. It's apparently she's a Virginia resident, but a student at pitt. I'm just guessing here based on some little things I'm seeing. I can't even imagine being a parent and one of

your kids goes missing like that. My mind with this young lady immediately goes to Natalie Holloway, and I just I'm not down with the senior trips. I'm not down with taking kids on the road. I'm certainly not down with taking kids or kids going overseas. But I mean, she's a college student, right, But I just, yeah, I can't even get my brain around anyway, open and praying leadership. You may not like everything Trump does or how he does it, but we've got leadership and people respond. I

don't know if you've seen the story. We'll probably get to this tomorrow. Have you seen the story that there's now an investigation going on about who signed Joe Biden's all of Joe Biden's orders when he was president, because they've determined that everything was signed by an auto pen and they're not certain Biden had anything to do with anything that went on in the last four years. Now, first of all, would you be surprised by that? Of

course not. But here's the thing. If the president didn't sign this stuff, like oh, I don't know the pardons they're not legal. And that's just scratching surfaces here, just saying that's a story. It's a big story. Remember, many of us contended that Joe Biden. First of all, he wasn't president, he was resident. Secondly, and how accurate was my little, say a little expression resident the resident of the United States. Well, preston, you need to respect the

well who's occupying the office, because it ain't him. He's not he's not the one behind policies. And it turns out now he might not have been signing a dog one thing other than one or two documents. At the end, I think the only thing that his signature was on was it was his decision to not run for office when he backed out. Anyway, just saying, Columbia University sight of some of the most anti Semitic protests, Jewish faculty,

Jewish students under attack, physical threats. President said, you know what we are. We are canceling four hundred million dollars of contracts and grants to the university. We're canceling. You guys aren't doing it. You're not you're not you're not ending the problems. So guess what Columbia presidents. The president of Columbia University said, we're sorry. I wanted to assure the entire Columbia community that we are committed to working

with the federal government to address their legitimate concerns. To that end, Columbia can and will continue to take serious action toward combating combating anti semitism on our campus. Now, the four hundred million is a drop in the bucket, but it's a start, and it got the attention of the president. Now she couched it with in her response

with legitimate concerns. We'll see, we'll see. All you have to do is say to these colleges and universities, you're not getting a penny, good luck, live off your endowment. See how long that lasts. Forty six minutes past the hour. More to come on the morning show, Preston Scott getting a call or two about a flaky radio signal, and yeah, we've had some bleed over in the last few days. The weather is playing a role in all of that. Our engineers sent us a notice saying don't call me,

there's nothing I can do. We're actually getting bleed from from Tampa and so they're just there are certain weather conditions that impact an FM radio signal and allows a bigger signal to dominate a smaller signal. And you know, we're just a little guy. We're just a little guy. So if in doubt that's why you use the iHeartRadio app, I'm just saying, I don't you use that technology, don't

minished smart whatever that thing is. Well there you god saying, come on, George Jetson, come on, come on, come on into the twenty first century. Join me. I made the transition. You can do it out of you seen it just sort of a smattering of stories here. You might have heard me mention. Kat Camick last week said she's going to introduce legislation that requires a background check for anyone

who works in Congress. I said, wait, what, Yeah, there's no background check for the bureaucrats that work for the House in the Senate. That's how this happens. You knew who's self deporting former A to Alexandria Cassio Cortez. He was in illegal working as her congressional aid in Congress. Someone who's illegally in this country, that's like spitting on our constitution. That's spitting on any of you legal immigrants that came here the right way, that went through the

right process. Jose's taking a bow over there. I mean, that's contemptible, but he said, you know, my wife and I decided they didn't want the humiliation of being deported. So they're they're they're going back to Columbia. Good see you. But how just remarkable that we have people working in our government with no background check. We don't know if they're commis, they're working for the Chai cooms, they're working for the Rooskies, the no codes, we don't know. CDC

launching a study into vaccines and autism. I don't know whether vaccines play a role. What I do know is there's quote an explosion in autism. Is it because we're just diagnosing it more often and we didn't before because we weren't so sophisticated And it's not really any different than it ever has been. Is it because as a society we're kind of getting a little soft and so we chalk up to you know, like things like add and ADHD. We chalk that up as a condition as

opposed to just the lack of discipline. I mean, I don't have the answers to it. Here's what I can tell you the fact that we don't know, we need to know. Let's do a study, let's do real ones, let's find out. And then there's this we're gonna take phone calls. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. It's National Nap Day because of daylight savings Time. It knocks people through a loop for a while. It does. Yesterday, I was just like, I was just my wife and

I were just crashed. Do you like changing clocks twice a year or do you want to be done with it? And if so, do you want to stay on daylight savings time where we are right now, all year long or do you want to go back an hour all year long? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. We're doing our own survey on daylight savings time? You want to be done with it? Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. If I passed the hour, I can't believe

how fast that first hour went by the board. But here we are, our number two and we're asking a very simple question in the wake of daylight savings time kicking back in. You know, the story has always been we are no longer the agricultural nation we once were, where everybody's working the farms, and that daylight savings time was fine, it played a role in World War two conserving energy. Blah blah blah. It is way past time

to stop the nonsense. What I know is that if Florida were to do something independent of the rest of the nation, it creates a nightmare for anyone who works let's say in North Florida or along the Panhandle and works in Alabama or works in Georgia, and they don't They don't switch in those states necessarily, but Florida does, or Florida doesn't switch, and they do. Nightmare. It has to be a decision that we're doing this or we're not. You stay with the time zones, but you either you

end it. And then if you end the switching of the clocks, which way do you go? Do you stay with daylight savings time or do you go with standard time? Which and that's what we're asking eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Elon Musk did a survey. Better than one point two million took part in it as of the weekend, and we'll share those results later. But I want to know what you think, Peggy.

Speaker 4

Tell me, I hate time thingss Okay, I want to stay with daylight savings time period, So you are.

Speaker 1

I'm just I'm starting to make my own little survey here. So you are a stay with daylight savings time? Yes, sir, what particular why? I'm just curious.

Speaker 4

Well, because I've always been an early morning person and my body wakes me up at five am. But when we switch times, for the last four months, I've been get up about four am. I mean, now I'm back to five am. It's just I need to I want and you.

Speaker 1

Like that, you like that more daylight at the end of the day. Yes, got it all right? Thank you, Peggy. I appreciate it. Eight five zero two zero five to WFLA, Jenny, thanks for calling in. You're welcome. So I wan't, like Peggy said, daylight savings time. So you're done with switching the clocks as well. What's your reason? What do you prefer to stay with daylight savings time.

Speaker 4

Because of the longer days, and just it's nice to keep it so it doesn't change it.

Speaker 1

Thank you, Jenny, appreciate the phone call. There are some that have argued that there are a few times of the year that it is just too dark in the morning to pick up the kids at school of school buses. But I will tell you that that I think there's some legitimacy to the concern. I'll simply say that how many people are how many kids ride the bus anymore? It seems like parents drop off all of the kids. So I don't know eight five zero two zero five

to be a fla. Michael, what do you think about this?

Speaker 2

I think we should move the clocks back thirty minutes, sit right in the middle, and leave it right.

Speaker 1

There thirty thirty minutes.

Speaker 5

Uh yeah, I mean, yes, what the difference.

Speaker 1

It's like, Okay, there you go. I don't know what to do with my survey. You just screwed it all up.

Speaker 6

You have a great day pressing.

Speaker 1

Thanks very much. I appreciate it. Michael. I think I don't know eight five zero two zero five fla. I need to write this split there's one there for splitting it. Yeah. That reminds me of the old George Carlin line, where you know it's it's eight o'clock in Los Angeles, it's seven o'clock in Denver, it's eight forty two in Baltimore. I mean, it's just craziness. Mary, Thanks very.

Speaker 6

Much, Good morning, how are you.

Speaker 1

I'm terrific. What do you think about this issue?

Speaker 6

I definitely believe we should say with the daylight saving time, and I'll tell you why. Both my husband and my son are ups drivers. And when they make that change and it gets darker sooner, it's so much harder for them to see delivering packages. There's so many people that don't post their address numbers on their house or in their mailbox.

Speaker 1

Oh okay, yeah, and you.

Speaker 6

Can't see and it's dark, and especially like in the rural areas when it's super dark and there's no street lights, and at Christmas time they've got so many more packages and it's so hard to see. And not only that, we live in Florida. We want we want it to stay light longer.

Speaker 4

We like outdoor activities.

Speaker 6

It's warm, it's beautiful, it's sunshine, the sunsets, and when you can stay out later and enjoy more sunlight. Who doesn't want that?

Speaker 1

And so for the for the delivery people, the darkness early in the morning or darkness later into the morning isn't as big of an issue because they're not delivering that early.

Speaker 6

That's right. They don't start delivering untill usually nine or ten in the morning, so that's fine in the evening that they have a hard time with perfect Mary.

Speaker 1

Thank you, some stuff I'd not thought of. Yeah, there are certainly occupations, Are there other Are there occupations that would be hurt by more darkness in the morning and more light later in the day. I don't know taking calls eight five zero two zero five WFLA daylight savings time? Are you good switching the clocks twice a year or would you prefer to be done with that? Lock it down and if so, witched time daylight savings time, which we're in right now, or roll it back to standard

time eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Arizona doesn't switch. There are areas that are exempt under the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation. Doesn't apply to Puerto Rico, Guam, Us, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands. Hawaii doesn't impose daylight savings time or make a switch because they're so close to the equator. There's just very little variants that makes a lot of sense.

But nationally, one point two million took part in elon Musk's poll, fifty eight percent said an hour later daylight savings time, forty two percent said an hour earlier. He just simply asked, if it's canceled, do you prefer an hour later or an hour earlier. He didn't offer the option of sticking. I uh, I'm curious, Tony. Are you someone that would prefer to not switch the clocks at all? Or are you cool with switching?

Speaker 2

Well, to be honest, Afghanistan doesn't get much right, but they split the difference and things to work perfectly. So I'm splitting it and leaving them alone.

Speaker 1

Now when you say splitting it, what do you mean?

Speaker 7

All right?

Speaker 2

I just said it moving forward, moving backwards. Let's just go thirty minutes and call it done.

Speaker 1

So you're saying Afghanistan is thirty minutes off from the rest of the world.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they got it right. I can't say that about much, but they got that right.

Speaker 1

Okay, all right, fair enough, Tony, thanks very much. I appreciate I did not know that. To me, that's just so impractical if you are not in line with at least top of the hour with everybody else. But hey, that's why we're taking calls. Get your opinion on this, Randy, thanks for calling in.

Speaker 8

Hey, good morning morning. Another one for the half hour solution. I think Trump body use it as a bargaining chip. Have the whole world flipped our timing standard, or face a clock ter who knows.

Speaker 1

We'll penalize you ten minutes. You're serious, you want to you want to split the time? Huh.

Speaker 8

I'd rather do the half hour.

Speaker 1

Okay, thanks very much. I appreciate it. Let's see here we got Bob standing by Hello, Bob, Hey.

Speaker 7

Good morning. In my working life, I always thought that getting up in the morning was signed and I could always go to work in the dark. That didn't ever bother me. But coming home in the dark, it's just some stuff about getting home in the dark was just made it a hard day.

Speaker 1

So you're in favor of leaving it with daylight savings time year round.

Speaker 7

Year round. Yes, don't change it. Don't change it again alone.

Speaker 1

Okay, leave it alone, all right, Thanks very much. I appreciate the phone call eight five zero two zero five to bfl A. I've got time to take calls for one more segment. I'm not going to force the matter. I'm I'm I'll be honest with you. I don't get the half hour thing. I would not subscribe to that personally, but I am fascinated by the people that are thinking that way. That's so interesting to me. I don't share the opinion, but that's okay. It's not going to be

up to us anyway. Bureaucrats, politicians are going to decide this one way or the other. It is interesting, however, that the House doesn't pass it and the Senate does. That's crazy. Sixteen past the hour. More of your calls if you want to join me eight five zero two zero five to bfla yes or no to time change, and if so, which hour forward or back. I'm reading an email here from Chuck who says changing the time has no bearing on how much daylight we have. I

don't agree. I mean, let's go to the extreme, let's go up to Alaska. The tilt of the planet relative to the sun dramatically increases or decreases the amount of sunlight that they have. To a lesser extent, it has an impact on the northern and southern hemisphere, less impact on the equator. I don't agree with that. His contention, though, is to move it back thirty minutes and leave it. The change is what I hate. I agree with that, but I don't agree with what you're saying about it

has no bearing. I think it absolutely has a bearing. Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA, Hello, Bill, thanks for calling in. What are your thoughts on the time change.

Speaker 5

I'd like to leave it daylight saving time year round. And here's the reason why. I work from early in the morning till five six o'clock in the afternoon, and I have quite a bit of land that I need to take care of and when it gets dark early, I'm subject to having to do that on the weekends only, which mean I get very little rest. So when it's daylight saving time, I can come home, get some chores done, and then have time to go in, eat dinner and relax.

Speaker 1

That makes sense. Yeah.

Speaker 5

The only issue here, though, Preston, is I work in tell Ahafe and I'm on my way to my job origin. So if they don't make it a national YEP thing, then I am going to get caught up in that subject you brought up earlier about, you know, the time changed being in one state and not in the other.

Speaker 1

YEP. It'll be absolute chaos. And then if you factor in a time zone. Then it's it's even it's even more chaotic, Bill, Thank you. I appreciate that. Good considerations as well. Interesting here nine calls, four of them, well nine to eight calls, one email, and four are wanting a split of thirty minutes. I would never support that in a in in you know, I would never Let's put it this way, I would personally never ask a lawmaker to go to thirty minutes. That just seems bizarre

to me. One of the other reasons for that is is, you know, for example, our radio station, almost all radio stations operate on what's called an atomic clock. I have a clock sitting in front of me that is an atomic clock, and it's based on a uniform time to the second. And I think there's some merit to maintaining a degree of uniformity relative to the top of an hour, or that everyone is on the top of an hour.

I can't even imagine what's involved in trying to figure out, wait a minute, wait we're eight point thirty and there at their seven or there nine, or I'm just like that's too much for my brain. But anyway, thanks, I appreciate the phone calls. Fifty eight percent in musk survey out a one point two million said an hour later daylight savings time two set an hour earlier. I think that number surprises me that it's not. I mean, we don't We had no one that wanted it to be

standard time, no one. So anyway, twenty seven past the hour, we're gonna come back. We've got the big stories in the press box Florida Man, a couple of other stories to get to before we get to the third hour. Let you know what went on in the first week of the legislative session and what's coming up with Salnuzo of Consumer's Defense. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott,

Breaking news, Big stories in the press box. Department of Government Official and See identified thousands of cases where more than three hundred million dollars in loans were granted to children. Small Business Administration granted nearly five thousand, six hundred loans to borrowers whose only listed owner was eleven years old or younger at the time of the loan they were issued in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. That is the embedded nature of the bureaucracy. Because that's the tail

end of Trump and the beginning of Biden. That's incredible. Now we're used to talking trillions and billions around here, right, and so you look at well, that's not no, no, it matters. That's a couple bucks out of every that's more than a few dollars out of everybody's wallet. Just a few might be a fast food meal, might be a happy meal, but it doesn't matter. It's our money, and that's what we have to start getting around our head. That's our money that's being wasted. Do you realize the

price that Elon Musk is paying for doing this? And he doesn't have to do this, death threats, hated, mocked, ridiculed. Being the wealthiest man in the world affords you a certain degree of of Teflon's skin. He doesn't really care. But what does it say that it takes an outsider to deal with this to a certain extent. I think that Governor Desantas is onto something with regard to Florida. Florida's lean compared to most states, compared to all states.

But are there not efficiencies to be found? Do we need an outside perspective, let's say, just to deal with the issue of employers hiring illegal immigrants, because it sure seems like Republicans in the House and the Senate don't have the stomach to do it. This is this is this is nothing. If you don't want to enforce the laws on hiring illegals, then don't have the law turn Florida into a sanctuary state. Stop the hypocrisy. Sorry, a little off topic there. President Trump is making a move

to stop a district judge. There's two hundred of them across the country from having sway beyond their district. And so if someone wants to sue the government, they have to file a bond to file that injunction, they have to pay money. They have to put money up so that when the case is finally adjudicated they lose, they have to pay. That money is used to pay the costs and any applicable fines or whatever penalties, whatever the

case might be. House in the Center never going to have the courage to limit the reach of a district judge. District judge is to rule on a district. If a district judge says, well, the President can't do this, this or this in this district, okay, whatever, but it eliminates what just happened a district judge forcing the federal government

to pay out money Internationally, wh what's that about? And then in Syria, jahadis and we told you, you know, bashi Assad is out, but what are you getting in return? The guy in charge in Siria's saying, I'll get to the bottom of who's behind the bloodshed. What's happening is Alawhites, which are a group of Muslims that believe in the Koran, but they don't believe the way that Shia and Sunni Muslims interpret the Koran. They're kind of they're a little different,

they're subset. Well, they're being targeted by the Jihadis. Man, there's certain things I just don't want to be right about, but I was right about that. If you're if you are anybody other than the way, if you don't see Islam the way they see it, or if you're not in Islamist the way they want you to be your target, just like anyone who is a Christian or a Hindu or a Buddhist, your target. Christians are being slaughtered and

uh Allo whites are being slaughtered in Syria. Forty one minutes after the album Florida Man next on the morning show. Turn up the radio. Friends, if you read something insane, I probably did it. I'm fond of who the block is. Going ahead and google my name. Now there is no man to the sins I have committed and we all feel we have somebody. Yeah, boyd Yeah. Jathan Gilder, he just came to the state of Florida and acted like

a Florida man. Jaythan apparently is from Texas. He rented a car in Texas, made the drive to the mall at Millennia in Orlando, and my man, Jathan thirty two years of age, went to Tiffany and Company said he was a representative of the Orlando Magic basketball player that would not be named. Maybe he did name the player, don't know. But he said he'd like to see some

high end jewelry. So he got taken to the VIP room at Tiffany and Company, got shown a four point eighty six carrot diamond ear ring, pair of them worth one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Yeah, those are nice. Eight point one nine carrot diamond ear rings worth six hundred and nine thousand dollars. Yeah, that was a nice And then a five point six y one carrot diamond ring worth five hundred and eighty seven thousand. So let's

just do a little math here. We are north of one million dollars worth of jewelries laying out there, and my man struggled with the employees grabbing the jewelry and fleeing. Small security cameras captured images of Gilder leaving in a blue Outlander, which they traced to an Enterprise Renne car

in Houston. Florida Highway patrol spotted the SUV on I ten in Tallahassee taking the fastest route back to Texas, and as he was being taken into custody, Jaythan swallowed a few things loom a scan of the suspect that the Washington County Jail found foreign objects in his stomach. Apparently in jail, Gilder said, quoting am I going to be charged with what's in my stomach? Yeah? My brother? He added, I guess I should have just thrown him out the window, my man. I mean, come on, swallowek.

They're waiting for it to pass. Who wants to be responsible for that? Now? Let me ask you the big question. You're Tiffany and Company. You get your one point one mill and jewelry's back. What are you doing with it? Are you putting it in one of those little sonic cleaner? How do you make? And do you ever? This is that ring? What you do? Oh? Forty six? Forty seven

passed the hour The Morning Show with Preston Scott. One of my favorite bumps right here, little Henry Manseni action flowing with a little a not ace Ventura, Austin powers, crazy baby Salduzo joins us in just a little bit, our own men of international mystery. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We were just talking about Doze uncovering loans to kids better than five thousand loans through the SBA where the owner is listed at eleven years

of age or younger. Let me let me just I just got a gotta humor me here for a second. Here we've got three hundred and thirty million dollars divided by let's just say the average loan then comes out to about sixty thousand dollars on average round numbers. Now, hold on to that. Now we're learning that the pay check protection program that was created to help during the lockdowns of the economy huge mistake, huge mistake. This happened

under Trump. He was again I hold him responsible. He's the president for not having more people at the table that were not agreeing with what Fauci was saying. I mean, my god, I'm not even a science major of any kind and I knew the facts. So I hold Trump partially accountable for this. Planned Parenthood got money through the PPP program, and we're trying to figure out how much

money went to fund abortions. As of right now, thirty eight loans wrongfully applied for by Planned Parenthood its affiliates, totaling more than eighty million dollars. The SBA under Biden approved another forty million in loans in twenty twenty one. So that's one hundred and twenty million wrongfully going of your tax payer dollars going to Plan Parenthood. What that bo.

Speaker 8

I mean?

Speaker 7

WHOA?

Speaker 1

What's that all about?

Speaker 6

What?

Speaker 3

What's that?

Speaker 1

We give money? Kids get money, little more babies, come on? What what's that at.

Speaker 5

Now?

Speaker 1

It's just it. If I'm gonna tell you right now, Doge is the single most important thing Trump's done since taking office. Can you imagine how much money we could be saving four years from now if we keep digging, and if we start holding people accountable in Congress, we stop funding buddies and pals and causes that have nothing to do with the function of government. Oh man, all right, we come back. We're gonna focus on the state of Florida. Sal newsoh will join me and we'll have a fun

chat on the legislat session that is just underway. It's week old. Talk about it next morning, friends. It is the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you. Show fifty three thirty two. That is Jose, I'm Preston and joining us a sal Newzo with Consumers Defense. We have no time to waste. The governor teed it up last week with the state of the state, and then the replies, yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 9

The governor delivering the state of the state to the joint Session. Just prior to that, you had the Speaker and the Senate President giving their own intros and kind of start a session addresses, and we can kind of

unpack those a little bit. But I thought it'd probably be a bit valuable to spend a little bit of time kind of unpacking the governor's speech and contrasting it to some of the things that were contained, particularly in the in the House speaker, So when the governor you had about thirty minutes, good amount of red meat, a lot of the rundown of successes. He spent some time kind of unpacking and tracking where his prior policy stood in positioning Florida. He did discuss the special session, but

he did not mention any of the drama. He played it very close, talked about coming together collegial yes, very much so. Which if that was all you were paying attention to the state of the state, you would have thought, all right, that you know, and kind of moved on. There was absolutely no mention of kind of the dust up. He highlighted our number one rankings on business development and climate. The economics piece a little bit of a of a shout out and shade thrown at Canada on the boycott

about Stanley Cup winning hockey team. He did mention insurance and this is important because it's going to tee up some of the things we discuss.

Speaker 1

In a little bit.

Speaker 9

Yeh, auto rates scheduled to come down. We have had some challenges there, although it's not as been it has not been as pronounced as the issues we've had on when you say scheduled by who, you kind of see some forecasting from the industry and where rates are stabilizing and things along those lines. But he did mention eleven new property insurance companies have kind of opened up shop in the state in the last year, and that's going to be important when you compare this to some of

the remarks from Speaker Perez. He did mention he wants more funny, more money in the mice, say Florida waiting list for people who are already approved but are waiting on those grants, so that they can perform some of the improvements and renovations to kind of storm harden their homes. Okay, On the fiscal side, I said, you know, they're spending less in the current fiscal year than they were in the prior And he championed this kind of the small

all size of state government's workforce. You mentioned this in a prior segment. We are the lowest per capita in the United States when you look at the number of state government employees per capita. We have a lean and mean operation. And yet he's still focusing on where is the waste, Where can we cut a little bit further, because ultimately any government spending is something that is kind of butting up against economic activity. On the tax front,

this is huge. He wants the business rent tax completely gone. It was scheduled to glide path over several years, and there are proposals that would either increase the homestead property exemption or eliminate property taxes in their entirety, which is his preferred approach. He's pointed out something that you said over the years, if you own a home, you're basically, as he put it, renting it from the government, because if you do not pay property taxes, they will put

a lean on your home. There are some proposals out there to kind of figure out how they can go about that with how you fund local government, Yeah, and how you do that without raising the sales tax rate, which is kind of what the left is trying to come at them with on that. Okay, championed the K twelve policies as well as their further work in eliminating DEI, not just in the higher ed space, but in a

few others. I gave Casey a shout out for the Hope Florida program, which, knowing where the dynamic is going, in terms of the governor's race. We'll have to see how that folds.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and I've talked about that. I don't think it's I don't think the first Lady and the governor have been told the truth of what's going on in the inner workings of Hope.

Speaker 9

Yeah, and I know there had been some challenges in the past, and in fairness, I have not paid a whole lot of attention to it as it's unfolded. In the last several months, he's talked about getting a block grant for environmental space from the FEDS to help pick up the pace on what's going on in the state with respect to the Everglades or the EEA reservoir, conda regulations, gun rights, a whole host of things.

Speaker 1

And he closed it with the Man in the Arena, which, yeah, he went Teddy Roosevelt on Yeah, which is one of my favorite quotes of all time from her political figure. And so even if it was a quasi socialist, even if, but I do love the quote. Nonetheless, we got more to talk about Salnuzo with me from Consumer's Defense. The legislative session is one week old. We'll tell you what the speaker had to say in particular. Next, thanks for listening.

It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott, twelve past the out Sald News. Who and I fighting in the breaks? I mean we are. It's almost blood letting, it is. I'm just saying, WrestleMania ain't got nothing on us, exactly. So Speaker Danny pereesk, Yeah, so he preceded all of this. Yes, so prior to the governor, do you have a copy of the remarks the Governor was going to make? You know, it's a great question. I don't know.

Speaker 9

It's entirely possible, and I wouldn't be shocked at all. I don't know, but I do want to juxtapose what the Governor said about insurance and the need to if you read between the lines, the need to read the market and understand that what they did in twenty twenty three helped stabilize the market. We're beginning to see improvements, and yes, is it slower than we want. Absolutely, we want more relief. But at the same time, we've done the right thing. Now here's what the Speaker said, and

I'm going to quote it. Property insurance matters to the people of Florida. A couple of years ago, the insurance industry came to the legislature and said without sweeping reforms, companies could not compete. We've since learned of reports in existence at the time but not disclosed to the legislature that may suggest some insurance companies were using accounting tricks to hide substantial profits while telling us they were in

a crisis. I've asked the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee to conduct hearings, and they will have access to the full range of tools, including issuing subpoenas, putting witnesses under oath, and hiring outside experts. That is something that I have not heard from a Chamber, especially a Chamber presiding officer,

and I can't remember if at all. It is a shot across the bow at insurance companies, and it contrasts to the philosophy that I think you see coming out of the Governor's office, out of the Office of Insurance Regulation, and quite frankly, even some folks on the Senate side that I have spoken to who are well placed in the industry, who say, look, it's not perfect, but it

is on the right track. And if you upset this kind of track, you have the capacity to do a whole lot more damage and throw the arena or industry into another cycle of really bad things.

Speaker 1

Well, doesn't it boil down to you cannot force someone to do business.

Speaker 9

Here exactly now if and we'll get to when we unpack some of the legislation that's moving and how it's moving and the posture. But the market matters, and ultimately you want a functioning marketplace that's private industry ensuring property owners.

Now that is going to involve some you know, kind of transition pains, but it's on the right track as the governor, And I would suggest many in the Senate or suggesting and there are somewhere they're just gonna they're gonna want to train their fire on on someone some industry. And so I think this is one where as the session unfolds and unpacks, it's going to be one to pay a whole lot of attention to because it matters to everybody.

Speaker 1

The speaker also drew distinctions between how he's conducting things and previous speakers in that there's no House Bill number one and number two and so forth. Yeah, and the point that he was making and I'm going to be very intrigued to see how it actually plays out over the sixty days or fifty five days, whatever we've got left. Is that he wants the committee structure to function in

a way that is devoid of leadership hard tactics. He doesn't want a series of priority bills that are kind of from the House Speaker that they're going to tee up and move quickly and get onto the governor. He also stressed the difference between what he as maybe an acquiescence to the governor's agenda by prior speakers over the last four or six years and where they would just kind of ram through whatever the governor wanted, and he wanted to assert their kind of coequalness as a branch

of government. Again, as legislation moves, it's going to be very intriguing to see the posture that he takes where he may disagree with the governor or the other chamber, and that's going to be the dynamic to pay attention to. Speaking of legislation, that's where we're going next. What's moving, what's not moving, what might still come. We'll talk about it with sal New's Consumer's Defense next in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty two Past Salo with consumers defense.

Our guests were giving you a blow by blow of the things that matter most in the legislative session. And so what's what's gained speed early on.

Speaker 9

Well, I think it'd be helpful for us to unpack the insurance bills that have been kind of in various stages of movement, because there's a number of them and because they impact everybody in the state, and both both the Chambers and the governor have highlighted them.

Speaker 1

Are they picking up where they left off? Are they continuing the path that you know, Governor Desanas said was gaining us some results, or is this new direction it's a little bit of the former.

Speaker 9

It's a little bit of picking up where they left off, picking up some sticks that they had dropped and maybe want to send back over. So, first off, you have Rep. Hillary Cassel. She had a large, large bill that would have allowed citizens Property Insurance Court to offer windstorm only coverage for anyone in the states. So where we have seen the windstorm piece of property insurance be one of the big problems. It was workshopped prior to the session.

It looked like the math just wasn't going to work on it, so they withdrew that bill, and it looks like they may allocate some money to study it further. But this kind of points to the dilemma that I spoke about in the prior segment. So you've got this challenge that really boils down to different political philosophies, even within Republicans, on how we should treat the insurance market.

So would offering windstorm coverage by citizens potentially lower rates in the short term, Yes, there's a case to be made for that, but you have to ask the follow up question, what does that do to the overall insurance market in the state. Well, if you're a private insurer and you have a state run provider that's offering lower rates than you can offer, and you can't stay solvent

offering those rates, what are you going to do? You're likely going to exit the market, and that's going to put us back in a bad place.

Speaker 1

Does that is that offering lower rates on just that portion wind? Or is it all it's just that portion wind?

Speaker 9

But you've got to recognize that they're putting those things into their entire business plan.

Speaker 1

And so if but if they're indemnified by not offering wind and they don't have to offer it, and someone else is taking that and they're covering the rest of it. Doesn't that help?

Speaker 9

I don't know that the math is working in that respect when it comes to private market providers and what they charge for, you know, kind of the non windstorm part of the property insurance premium versus that it It kind of it puts the market into further turmoil, Okay, And it's just a it's a challenge that is going to continue to rear its head as long as we're

in this kind of debate back and forth. Another one, but on the auto insurance side, so for a number of years, we've had this attempt to repeal our no fault auto system. The governor did veto the measure that passed a session or two back that would have repealed it. This year, you've got a bill from Senator Aaron Grahl and Representative Danny Alvarez twelve fifty six and eleven eighty one.

It would eliminate the requirement for drivers to carry PIP personal injury protection, but instead require them to carry twenty five thousand in bodily injury coverage for one and fifty thousand for two or more per incident, and some property liability pips the coverage that kicks in regardless of who's at fault at an accident. So because of the no fault law, you cannot sue someone for pain and suffering

what they call non economic damages. Now, the trial attorneys would love to have that repealed because they could then flood the market with pain and suffering lawsuits. We need to probably see another couple of years of data on

premiums before considering another big change. The governor opposes anything that would not reduce rates or at least keep the rates on the same track that they're at, And as it stands as I read that bill, the repeal would raise rates unless it's paired with some other tort reform measures that would kind of stem that lawsuit potential. One last in the insurance bucket, and then we'll move on medical malpractice. It's one I've been paying attention to because

it goes the other way from previous years. Now in the Senate, you've got a couple of proposals as well as the House that would actually expand the cases in which patients or survivors could successfully sue for medmol now kind of stemming it out to adults in their and parents of adult children. Here's the rub. We have the second highest med male premiums in the US. We have a shortage of doctors. The House bill did pass its first stop unanimously. The Senate version only had two votes

and its stop. But I'm concerned that this bill could have a negative impact on some of the challenges in the healthcare arena that we're seeing.

Speaker 1

I just remember the case of the doctor that had someone die on the table in Pensacola. I believe it was and that doctor did not have to disclose that there had been a settlement on a similar case years before.

Speaker 9

I'm with you completely on that. This bill, I do believe, is something It's tweaked a little bit different, or it approaches a different part of that equation.

Speaker 1

It's on who has eligibility to sue.

Speaker 9

And so I have some concerns on this, but I'm trying to unpack it a little bit more.

Speaker 1

Yeah, they don't need to tell you what was settled. They need to tell you there was one. That's the issue here. Patients have to know that a doctor had been sued and settled. They have to know that. Twenty eight past the hour sounds like a seventies or eighties man action action TV show. But it's just Saloozo and me, Preston Scott, who's a apparan? Apparently I define seventies action yea man, give and me both, buddy. All right, let's pick up with laws that bills that are making their way. Yeah.

Speaker 9

So Jenna Persons Malica on the House side presented twelve oh five in its first committee stop. So this one would tighten up the citizens' initiative process for constitutional amendments, things like acquiring a one million dollar bond, require everyone signing a petition to list either their driver's license number or last four or their social shortened the deadlines for submitting signatures.

Speaker 1

Can I ask, is this window dressing or are these signatures literally then run and matched?

Speaker 9

Oh gosh, these are the reasons why they're doing that, because they've had these issues on that very thing in prior initiative processes.

Speaker 1

I understand, but are they going to My point is are they going to do it? Oh? Yeah, they would happen because the one million dollar bond is nothing. Because these outside groups that are trying to get for example, we passed in Florida, they got all the money in the world.

Speaker 9

Well, and to an extent, you're not going to financially impact a group like that that wants to come in. You could set that bar as high as you want and they be able to get the bond. So what they're doing is trying to say, Okay, well, we're also going to make sure that it is as as deliberate as possible for you to get those signatures and are going to make sure that they're verified immediately, within a far shorter time window than you might have had to doctor or.

Speaker 1

Someone's going to have to pull out that information at the clipboard when someone's approaching them.

Speaker 9

Exactly, Yeah, and so all of this is meant to go with that, Yeah, exactly and so. And the governor is absolutely behind this kind of attempt to make it more challenging. Because the Constitution is our governing document. It should be the hardest thing possible to amend. Not in Florida,

and that is the case. You are absolutely right. Senator Jen Bradley and Rep. Tracy Coster have Sentate Bill one thirty and HB fifty nine, repealing the Clean Hands Provision and making it easier for individuals wrongly incarcerated to receive compensation for the years they've lost. Now, it's one that's going to be a little bit less impactful than some of the other bills will go through. But the clean hands provision is of particular mention because we're the only

state that actually has a statute. And what it states is if you're wrongly convicted of a crime and you spend years in prison, but you have a prior felony, you cannot get compensated for that time you've lost. I think this is one where, regardless of the level of impact, it's maybe the right thing to do, And so they're moving that set it Bill two thirty four HB. One seventy five from Tom Leak and Jessica Baker increasing the penalty for an individual who kills a law enforcement officer

while resisting. So, we had a case where a person resisted in the struggle, they pulled the officer's firearm and shot him in the head, murdered him. It only resulted in a manslaughter conviction. Yeah, this would tighten that up. It would make it a first degree murder.

Speaker 1

All right, We're going to pick up there forty past the hour more we sell news on next all right, we've talked about some legislation that is in the pipeline. What's coming this week?

Speaker 9

All right, We've got today number of committee hearings, a lot of activity Senate Commerce and Tourism. Two tech related bills coming up that I'm paying attention to. Eleven thirty two, which is the Digital Right to Repair, which means if you have, for example, an iPhone and you need to get it repaired, you have to take it to an Apple licensed repair shop. This would change that, as well as seven oh two on the Artificial Intelligence Digital Provedance.

And this one is one where it's flying under the radar, but I expect it's going to get some hefty debate because I don't know that the tech companies are on board with this interesting development. Also on the Citizens' Initiative process we talked about in the last segment, Blazing Golia filed a bill that was more comprehensive than the one

that was heard in committee on Friday. The Senate side, on the Ethics and Election Committee, which chaired by Senator Don Gates, they filed up what's called a PCB, a proposed Committee bill. It mirrors twelve oh five. Now it could be something else entirely, but It's got me wondering on the dynamic with Senator and Golia having been one

of the governor's loudest supporters in the special session. Don't are they shifting it around to try and you know, kind of get it set a little bit better posture Moving on four to forty eight from Senator Burgess, It's got a wonky title administrative procedures, but it's a really big deal at the federal level. You had a Supreme Court case that repealed what's called the Chevron doctrine. It was a thing where the court would have to defer to the quote expertise of an agency in ruling on

a particular regulation. This bill would align with that Supreme Court reversal of that, so it would lower the threshold for ditching a regulation. It prohibits an agency from adopting a rule or guidance unless it's granted explicit statutory authority. They'd have to prepare detailed statements of regulatory costs. So really getting at the regulatory state in the state to minimize it as much as possible. Representative Esposito has the House companion, and I would suggest this bill has the

potential for being a model bill. For other states, you may hear the term Rains Act at the federal or state level. This would be even better than just a basic Rains Act, one that I think could be your favorite bill of twenty twenty five nine nine from Representative Demi Bisada. It would, among a few other provisions, extend the ban on student use of wireless devices to the entire school day, as opposed to just instructional time. Only

two stops in the House, it's up on Tuesday. The Senate version from Danny Burgess has a pilot program instead of full adoption. But I'm paying attention to how this unfolds.

Speaker 1

Does Senator Burgess not know that we have tried it in a few school districts with great success, and that's your pilot. I'm not sure.

Speaker 9

I don't want to speak for for Senator Burgess, but there are differing ways of approaching in the different chambers, So I'm paying attention to how this one's gonna uh okay okay.

Speaker 1

On Tuesday.

Speaker 9

Also, you've got two ninety six from Jennifer Bradley repealing the mandatory later school start times. It's up in its first stop. The first stop. Also for the Senate's Big Housing Package one eighty four from Don Gates is up in its first committee. UH one seventy six from Senator dis Segelee. An interesting builded states, if you improve your home for storm resilience, the added value cannot count against

you assessment time when the tax collector does this. It's basically a way to try and incentivize homeowners, especially on the coastal areas, to figure out how to make their homes more stormhearted. You've got nine to fifty two repealing restrictions on purchasing firearms or related materials during an emergency. That's up in CJ Committee on Tuesday. You also have Criminal Justice, sorry about that. You also have from Senator and Golia on Tuesday the term limits for school board

members and county commissioners. And that's going to be up thirteen to twenty five on the House. So this one's interesting. It would go on the ballot in twenty twenty six. Up in its first committee, it will repeal and eliminate the office of Lieutenant Governor.

Speaker 1

Let me just ask you right there, you like that idea? I don't know yet.

Speaker 9

I'm on the fence on it, and I'm hedging because I'm really trying to unpack the reasoning behind this, and I'm not necessarily seeing what others are as they propose it, and so I'm on the fence, but not one over on that part of it.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 9

It would abolish the Government Efficiency Task Force, which I happen to serve on but it only meets every five years. And it would create a new office of the Commissioner of Government Efficiency as a cabinet officer and basically create a Florida DOGE system that operates in perpetuity. And so that's a really intriguing one. But it would go on the ballot for next election cycle.

Speaker 1

Interesting, you did it. I did it.

Speaker 9

Four pages woof of notes, of notes in five segments. And I don't type. I don't type with a big type. This is this is a This was a bear this week.

Speaker 1

But got my magnifying glass. Thanks buddy. Always a pleasure. My friend sounder Zo with Consumers Defense. He's executive director Consumers Defense dot com. If you want to learn more about that organization. We'll be back next week with another legislative update here in the Morning show. Oh do you worry, We'll get to you verify. Don't you worry? About that Justin Haskins tomorrow on the program Manly Minute, Money Talk, and so many I mean, I'm good, creep. I've been

printing and grabbing stories while we've been on the air. Here, Representative Roe Kanna what a name from California, Democrat said he was chased down by a flight attendant at an airport. Sir, I'm a Democrat, but the way the party behaved was embarrassing, made a look heartless. I don't care who is up there. You stand for the boy with cancer. Be more rational, get your act together. Yeah they are, they are catching it.

But here's what I want you to see. I read through these stories and buried in the back of the story is this. This is Representative Laura Gillen or Gillin from New York, a Democrat. Quite frankly, there were moments where I feel like anger at some of the actions that have happened over the past month and a half prevented some of my colleagues from being able to stand to support little DJ Daniel. They can't take responsibility. It's

Trump's fault. Quite frankly, these actions of the last month and a half, they've just angered us to the point where we just we're just some are not thinking rationally.
