Hey, good morning, everybody. Welcome to Tuesday, March eleventh, on the Morning Show. I am Preston. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott Funny. How that all worked out? He's Jose and it is good to be with you, really is. It's March the eleven Show, fifty three thirty three more on this date in history and mere moments. But we always start with some scripture, and so we're gonna kind of polish off a look at two Timothy here, and
I want to zero in on one thing. In verse sixteen and seventeen, it says this, this is Paul writing Timothy, and Paul's in prison, and he says, at my first defense, no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth. There are two things there I want to highlight. First
of all, I want to go to the second part. First, while Paul was in his trial and challenge, the Lord was with him, and he knew that things manifested themselves. Sorry, so sorry. Things manifested themselves in such a way that he knew God was working. It's the only way he could account for it. Total and complete trust in God. Prior to that, though, he points out that no one was standing with him, no one was encouraging him. Was it fear? Was it? I don't know, but he was.
He was dumped. But note what he said, may it not be charged against them? Sunday in service, when we recovered this, Pastor looked across the room and he said some really smart words. Forgive. That is the summary of what Paul's saying in that verse. Forgive. What did Jesus say on the cross? Forgive them? They don't know what they're doing. Let me just say this to every single one of you up early listening this morning and those of you that are catching this on the podcast on
the Rebound. Unforgiveness does nothing to the person you're holding a grudge against. Nothing. It does hurt you. It's a spiritual cancer, it's an emotional cancer. It is a brain cancer because you spend so much time agonizing over that hurt and that bitterness, that anger. You know, anger is not a problem, but you don't let it turn to sin. And unforgiveness is a sin, and it only hurts you. It never hurts the person that wronged you ever, never ever.
Paul's words exemplify what Jesus did on the cross the people that deserted Paul. He said, forgive them, may it not be held against them. The advice that screams out of these verses for give. Ten past the hour. Check into the American Patriots Almanac. Next, take a look at this day, National Day of Let's tell you next. Stick around. We're just starting to get going here, loosening up Morning Show with Preston Scott.
One point seven doubufla.
Eleven past the hour. Sorry, I need to lay out for just a couple more seconds. Eleven past the hour. Good morning. Let's see here. Eighteen eighty eight. Now, this is interesting. One of the worst blizzards in the history of this country hits the Northeast, killing some four hundred people. And right now, right now, now this is March eleventh, there's another blizzard that is looking like it's going to hit the Midwest in the next day.
Huh.
Look at that. Even before all of global warming and all of the climate disruption and all of the we've had, we've had weird weather before. Here's another thing I want to point out. Cold kills more than heat, always does, always has.
It.
I'm just I'm just saying, if we're in a cycle where the Earth is naturally just doing its thing and warming a half a tick, that's what it does. Number one and number two, that's really good news because we get more growth, more farming, more land that can be used agriculturally, and more people in more areas can grow crops and more growth. More growth means more carbon dioxide
absorbed by plants that then produce oxygen. Just saying carbon dioxide is not a bad gas, it is one we must have in our country, in our world, on our planet. Nineteen eighteen, US first first US cases of Spanish flu are reported, epidemic that kills six hundred thousand Americans, tens of millions worldwide. Could you imagine do you imagine that level of panic hitting the country and the hitting the world with social media, my goodness, you'd never see another
person's face. Nineteen forty one, President Roosevelt signs the Lend Lease Bill, which provides war supplies to countries fighting the axis power. Nineteen sixty, NASA launches Pioneer five, one of the first probes to explore the solar system. By the way, that word probe, it just sounds intrusive, doesn't it? A probe? I'm going to place a probe in your body. You're going to probe two thousand and two to two columns of light beam skyward from ground zero, New York City,
tribute to the victims of nine to eleven. Think about it. That's just months after the attack. Those two beams hit the sky. I don't know if you know this, but what is it called? World Trade Center One? Now do you know how tall it is? The architect designed it so the tip of the I don't know if it's a lightning rod or anten at the very top is seventeen hundred and seventy six feet. The tip of it is seventeen hundred and seventy six feet. That's like a
giant bird to the terrorists. It's like flipping off the terrorist saying, yeah, whatever, losers, we're here. We're standing seventeen seventy six one iconic building at seventeen hundred and seventy six feet tall. That's just brilliant, real quickly. Here today is National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. Needs to come from us because it's certainly not coming from their clients. National Proposal Day, Promposal National Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day, National
Worship of Tools Day, National Johnny Appleseed Day. So there you got it. Seen past that come back. A very interesting story that reminds us you never know now as you well know on this program. And I had this discussion yesterday with a potential client. I don't force scriptures on people. We do the little devotional segment to start the show, which is really unique. I don't know of anybody in secular radio that does stuff like that, and it's just it's what I'm convicted to do. I haven't
done it the entire time I've done this show. I started doing it a number of years ago because I was convicted to. I was convicted to do it. I got to talking, and it was probably right around June seventeenth when I was talking about the Supreme Court decision to quote kick God out of schools, like you're kicking out of anywhere whatever, But where we said teachers, you can't read scripture or pray with students at the start of the day. And it was in the course of
talking about that that I just got convicted. Well, then you do it. You start the day, nothing prevents you from doing it unless your boss says you can't. Then you got to pray about and decide if you're going a quit. Already done that once, then I was left alone, smart choice by those people at that time who no longer work with the company anyway. But when I come across a story that just needs to be shared and it has to do with God, man, I'm all in. I look at the news and I look at things
that we talk about through that lens. And you know, just because I love Jesus doesn't mean I'm not a jerk, because I can be an idiot, you know, and I can, you know, laugh at things, and including me. I am very capable of laughing at myself because I'm an idiot. Sometimes I just you know, but I'm a lovable idiot. Came across his story. Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger is a Christian after years of being an agnostic. The founder of Wikipedia, he co founded Wikipedia back in two thousand and one.
He left it a year later because he said it was not a fair, open form. There are a lot of Nobel Prize winners, distinguished doctors whose views are not only not welcome on Wikipedia, they're literally censored. And so he wrote last week about this journey that he went on. He was raised in a family where you couldn't ask questions. He was very inquisitive and curious, and he was discourage from asking questions about God, about faith, about religions. And
I'm like, not bring them on. What scriptures say, seek the truth and it'll set you free. Go for it. As long as you accept what you're told and in your studying and what you're seeing, you know God's truth is just there. I mean, I don't worry about it, but I'm always willing to give a defense for what I personally believe. He chose a liberal arts school as a student. A pastor wouldn't take him serious. He went to a pastor to ask questions and he was brushed off.
It's like, what did your pastor not have any game? Couldn't he defend his own faith? Really? It doesn't surprise me anyway. He went to a place that would encourage agnosticism, if not even worse. It was read college in Portland full of liberal unbelievers. He writes their artificial model was communism, atheism, and free love. He would later teach philosophy at Ohio State University. He prided himself on concealing his true beliefs from students. I wanted them too, to seek the truth
for themselves. He was clearly on a spiritual journey. He was impressed by believers who were ridiculed and singled out and harassed for their faith, but stood by their faith. That spoke to him, and he got sick of seeing Christians bullied, and so he started doing some real earnest digging. For the last five years, he's been writing a book entitled God Exists, a philosophical Case for the Christian God. It's at two hundred and three thousand, four hundred and
eighty four words and counting. He's still not doing. Here's what I want to say. It ends with this. In this article in The Daily Citizen, Larry's Long and Winding Road demonstrates the power and influence of good and bad parenting, the importance of welcoming questions from skeptics, the need for humility and patience when encountering non believers, and the long suffering and merciful patience of a heavenly father who will never stop pursuing us, even when we might stop chasing
after him. I wrote on the rundown, and I wrote a lot on today's rundown. There's a lot of big letters and underlined words. Here's what I wrote about this story. This is interesting. You never know. You never know if the person you're talking to, if the person that's watching you, if the person that's in your space, where they are in their journey. You never know. That's why being if you call yourself a Christian, act like it b one,
train yourself, discipline yourself. Twenty seven Past the Autum. Big Stories in the press Box coming up next in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. You may or may not know that during in the aftermath of COVID, I had doctor Robert Malone on this program. That was another one of those hail Mary's I threw out there. And now not everybody likes doctor Malone. I'm okay with that, so is he It's all right. I mean, it's it's all right.
There's some people that think he has overemphasized his importance in the development of mRNA technology, but he was out there saying this vaccine is bad, and he was right. He was warning anybody that would listen, and as the guy who was kind of at the very least one of the pioneers of mRNA technology to be out there saying this is not good, it's not going to work, it isn't working, and for everyone to just dismiss ignore him. He was a member of the club until he wasn't.
He shared something in an email with me yesterday that a lot of you might get, and he was talking about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior meeting with what's called the CBA, the Consumer Brands is Socialiation, some of the big players, General Mills, PepsiCo, among others, talking about the possibility of removing certain chemical food additives from packaged foods, as well as discussing seed oils found in food. Politico reporting that it would be a recipe
for disaster. A government leaker, there's a major concern that CBA is going to agree as major industry players to do things that eliminate science from the FDA. It's entirely possible that CEOs fall over themselves to agree to whatever make America healthy again. Ask them to do no. See that's the thing. It's this is so reminiscent of the battle plan used by the liberal left on global warming
and on COVID. They make up their science to fit a predetermined narrative and they silence the best they can anybody that disagrees. It's the exact same dog on blueprint. Here's the science. The science is that seed oils are responsible for a tremendous amount of inflammation. The science shows that inflammation is one of the biggest enemies to every part of your body, and there are significant issues if
we eliminate seed oils or reduce that. Big agriculture doesn't want any part of You know why Kennedy got fought in his confirmation. He didn't get fought for his position on vaccines. He got fought because big agriculture was pushing hard because he wants to limit seed oils. And they make a crap ton of money off seed oils. Just think about it, and the plant based diets that the Biden Obama administrations pushed on us. Guess where they get
their fats seed oils. But if seed oils are in fact bad for you, if you consume too much of it. And right now, the average American consumes half a cup a day of seed oils ninety one pounds a year. The inflammatory effects are beyond it's not even questioned. The White House pushed all of this into climate change, and we're funding initiatives to support all this crap in our foods under the guise of plant based diets. Kennedy's already gotten rid of the Climate Change and Health Initiative within
the National Institute of Health. He's already candidate. We're already seeing good things. The only thing bad was watching Sean Hannity and the secretary at a Steak and Shake where Sean Hannity just God bless him. The manager of the Steak and Shake brings out there burger with fries, and Hannity's doing this live right, and he says to the guy, did you forget my coke? Small coke, little ice. It's like, dude,
stop that. That's what you do. In the commercial break, you don't big time a guy who's being kind to you, and come on, man, ah, forty one minutes past the hour, we're going to talk about an unhealthy person.
Next, it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Two almost forty three, pass on the rundown. I wrote in really big letters, No, she did not do that. Told you I was going to talk about an unhealthy person. Let me share the story. Put it in some chronological order. Jennifer Lee Wilson, forty eight, of Indiana, was sentenced back in January to six years in prison. She was charged with reckless homicide in the death of Dakota Levi Stevens. Going back to April, police were called to a home
in Valparaiso because the boy was not breathing. Turned out to not have a pulse. Officer found bruising on the child's lower neck and chest. Offerers attempted to resuscitate the boy. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died. Jennifer Lee Wilson told police the boy'd run away from home. She found him at the neighbor's house, brought him back, and she said he was still acting bad. Threw himself
on the ground, telling her he was leaving. It should be pointed out that the child was a foster son. He was a foster kid. She attempted to stop him from leaving. According to the court papers, She's not sure if she tackled him or if they fell to the ground, but her intention was to hold him, and so what she did is she sat on him. She sat on his midsection for about five minutes. He eventually stopped moving. She believed he was faking. She told police, I asked him,
are you faking? She rolled him over and noticed his eyelids were pale. She began performing CPR called nine to one one. He suffered organ and soft tissue damage, liver and lung hemorrhaging, and other injuries. Autopsy revealed his death was mechanical asphyxia and the manner of death is homicide. The neighbor whose house he was at told officers that he ran to the house and asked the neighbor to adopt him because his parents hit him in the face.
Neighbors said she did not observe any injuries to the boy. He probably was referring to other occasions. Wilson then came and took the child back. Perhaps the neighbor feels tremendous amount of guilt at this point. Dakota was four foot ten ninety one pounds, ten years of age. Wilson four foot eleven three hundred and forty pounds. She sat on a ninety one pound child and killed him. I wrote, my rundown, She did not do that, Yeah she did.
And I'm always curious why I come across stories so often often wear foster families, and there's some amazing foster parents out there, But why are there so many that are abusive people? Is it because they couldn't have children on their own and they and they just they then take it out on whoever they're fostering. And you know what's interesting, And I was talking about this with my
wife yesterday. Isn't it interesting how you see that sometimes with foster pet owners, people who foster pets, that they're found abusing those pets, they get hundreds of them, dozens of them, whatever, and they and they're found dead or malnourished or beaten chained. If by chance, you're a foster your parent listening to this, please, in the name of God, make sure your heart's right. If you're not up to it, make the people, the authorities aware and protect that child. Forty eight minutes.
Past them, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, that was a downer. That story was an absolute Debbie Downer, it was so come on, let's pick it up a little bit here.
Nothing. Sorry. Few things bring joy as when I hear that Randy Weingarten is upset at something, the head of the Teachers' Union. I just makes me so happy because when she's upset, I know it's good. It's funny. There are people that are barometers that way for us. Well they're mad, this ought to be good. Or if they're happy, oh, we better be careful, right, I mean, that's just it's like,
if Satan's celebrating, I need to be a little nervous. Consequently, if Satan's unhappy, yeah, come on, get some of that. Sort of the way I think of Randy Weingarten, she's Satan to education. She and the Teachers' Union are the worst thing for your students. No, she's not unredeemable. Jesus loves her regardless of her lifestyle choice. Jesus loves her. But she's losing her ever loving mind over the fact that the Department of Education is sort of kind of
being prepared to be shuttered. It's a disaster symbolically as much as it's a disaster in reality. I'm really angry about this. I'm really angry. I mean, she's dah dah, she's screaming. I love it, I absolutely love it. I talked about Linda McMahon, the Education Secretary. American education can be the greatest in the world. It ought not be corrupted by political ideology, special interest, and unjust discrimination. Parents, teachers,
and students alike deserve better. This review of our program is long overdue. Listen to this. The Department of Education is not working as intended. Did you realize it wasn't developed until nineteen eighty. Taxpayers have entrusted the department with over one trillion dollars, yet student outcomes have consistently languished. You know what this is really all about and why we have to get rid of it. It's not just the drain on our tax dollars. It's at every dollar
that comes from the federal government. Back down has been with strings attached. You must do it our way or you don't get the money. It's our money. It's our money, so wind it down and let's watch the teachers' union.
Really suffer. Love teachers hate the Union.
Starting the second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott, He's ose I'm Preston and rascheated to leave the only member of the House, listen to me, the only member of the House to vote against a proposal to focus on the what one hundred and eighty some odd cartel tunnels that have been dug into our country? She opposed it. How she's allowed to remain in Congress. Iilhann Omar is just the electorate in those districts are just loons. Anyway. I saved this piece from last week from our friend
Scott Beacon of the Beeline blogger. Scott is a meticulous researcher. If I'm not going to rerack his bio, he's just he's got analytical chops and we have him on the show from time to time. But he took a deep dive into the Ukraine War with Russia and brought some perspective in data that I thought was very, very interesting and I wanted to share it. He points out the obvious Putin's a bad person. That said, he also reminds that it was the Biden administration that was in office
when this conflict broke out. Now why, because there was a lot of chatter about Ukraine joining NATO and Biden did nothing to tamp that down, and Putin couldn't allow that to happen. But what he does here is Scott puts into context why And he asked this question, pointing out Ukrainian borders with Russia. How would the United States feel if Canada or Mexico were talking with China about a mutual defense package, if China was coming close to
our borders? And he goes on to say, Ukraine has incredible strategic value because it's Russia's access to the Black Sea. It shares the largest border with Russia and Eastern Europe. And then he goes on the list listen to this, Listen to this list of former Soviet Union countries Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia. You know what those countries have in common?
There are former Soviet Union nations that are now members of NATO. NATO's existence revolves around you attack one, you attack all. It clearly was not going to allow Ukraine to be part of NATO as well. He also points this out, I didn't know this, he said it should be remembered that when the Soviet Union collapsed and discussions were underway about reunification of Germany. If you recall, there was East Germany and there was West Germany, there were
two countries. West Germany was the western version, East was the under Soviet control Russian control. There were suggestions made to the Russians by US Secretary of State Baker and German's foreign minister that NATO would not expand eastward by one inch. No treaty was signed, but Russians took it as a breach of the gentlemen's agreement when NATO expanded so greatly. Now think about it. Listen to that list
that I read of nations. Imagine now your putin. You knew there was an agreement that NATO wasn't going to expand period, and yet look at all those nations, fourteen of them. So as much as we want to talk about, and correctly so, the evils of communism in Russia, the fact of the matter is we made promises and didn't honor. And so if your Putin would you feel a little threatened a little bit, I want to give you a backstory of something you didn't know happened prior to the
Ukraine War. Share that next ten past the hour reading something from Scott Beacon to the Bline Blogger in the Ukrainian War with Russia.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on news Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.
Since there's still a war, and since Democrats are wringing their hands and whining and complaining about Trump's efforts, I thought it was good to get further context on what's going on there, and I'm sharing information that is part of the public record that's out there. Compiled by Scott
Beacon to the Bline Blogger. He notes that Jeffrey Sachs a very liberal global economist who's been working in Russia as they transition from being the Soviet Union to now Russia, but understanding that Russia's trying to bring the boys back together again and get the Soviet Union a thing again. He made this statement before the EU Parliament and he points to NATO as the cause of the Russian invasion
in twenty twenty one one. This is Sachs. I had an hour call with Jake Sullivan and the White House begging Jake avoid the war. All you have to do is say NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine. He said, no, no, no, we can't say it publicly. Don't worry, Jeff, there will be no war. One of the great miscalculations of all time.
From a historical perspective, did you know that Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union for two hundred of the last two hundred and forty years, So it being independent is a fairly recent development, and the reason why the war is continued, right, Scott, is almost solely because the United States wanted it to continue and was willing to pay for it. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been sent to fund the war. It also propped up government bureaucracy.
See did you know that some of the money we've sent over there has paid for pensions for government employees in the Ukraine. We have assisted because we wanted Russia to be weakened militarily and financially in what you could best describe it as a proxy war. The casualty numbers what a million. However, polling across Europe shows Europe's not
interested in sending its sons and daughters into war. I doubt the United States left the Democrats so upset and angry over Trump's work here, I doubt they want their sons or daughters going to war, and so you then have to just get to some bottom lines here. Three years into the war, Ukraine can't win. It just doesn't have the manpower, it doesn't have the the the the
military strength, the technology. They just they can't win. And what's really sad is that apparently there was a deal ready to be done in twenty twenty two that would have offered better terms than any agreement that we get now. Ukraine would have ended things much better, stronger and with more territory had they negotiated then, had we been in the position that we're in now trying to broker a deal versus funding the war, we're a war with Russia.
It's just a proxy war, and we're I mean, if you look at the polling of Sweden, Denmark, Britain, Germany, Spain and Branch which Scott does, there is no support, there is zero support for this. In fact, any negotiated piece at this point is going to favor Russia more now than it would have two to three years ago when a deal was on the table. I just thought it was useful to get a little bit broader perspective of this, and I thank Scott Beacon of the b
Line Blogger for providing that context for us. If you are interested, it's interesting reading every time Bline Blogger dot blogspot dot com sixteen minutes past the hour back with more this was it's really funny. I just I had to just take a peek at Dylan mulvaney on the View. He's the dude that set off the controversy because he's a trans woman, and bud Light actually hired this clown to be its spokesperson for a season, and it just it destroyed Anheuser Busch. It just killed him. I don't
know if it's recovered from it. I don't know if they've managed to win beer drinkers back. But Whoopy Goldberg on the View asked, because there's been all of this debate about whether transgender athletes should be able to compete, and last week California Governor Gaven Newsom City thinks the trans athletes competing in girls and women's sports was deeply unfair. So she wanted mulvaney to reply. To respond, listen to
what he said. I played a sport. I was six years old and I was on a soccer team, but I assigned myself as the nurse, sat with the band aids. And so in the words of Wicked, I'm not that girl. But a dear friend of mine, Skyler, he is a trans athlete. His handle is pink Man Ray. That's someone who I really look to for guidance, and I think that is what's tricky, is like now I'm stepping in this identity. I'm still like a baby trans. I've only
three years in Tomorrow's my anniversary. And then the crowd applauds and he never answers it. They didn't push him, he didn't answer. It's enlightening. Here's a dude that's a transgendered woman, i e. A man pretending to be a woman, and he has nothing to say, literally nothing. He danced and danced and danced and danced until he said something,
and the audience bailed him out with some applause. Newsom admitted that the issue was political suicide for Democrats see Gavin Newsom's rehabbing himself for a presidential run in twenty twenty eight. He wants to be the Democrat nominee, and so he's trying to put himself as a more reasonable Democrat, even though he's been among the worst of the worst as a progressive. See no matter what progressives say, men have advantages over women, whether they take shots, whether they
have surgeries or not, they have advantages. They retain advantages. What's interesting, and is pointed out by Jeff Charles at town Hall is that while progressives and illiberals and most Democrats have this empathy for transgenders, and I don't disagree with the need for empathy. You've long heard us discuss on this program, the need for those suffering from gender
dysphoria to get counseling, to not be ridiculed. And you know, to me, you only are are worthy of some level of ridicule if you are stridently out there trying to suggest that it's normal and that you know we have to accept you in your pronouns. Sorry, but where's the empathy for women and girls? And why the sudden silence that's not so sudden? Is it from the women's lib movement,
the group that rush called feminazis, where'd they go? Why are they not talking about the robbed victories, the robbed opportunities, the robbed scholarships, the robbed placements of women by men. How ironic all these years later, we're now The National Organization for Women has a group that my aunt was the president of, Suddenly Silence as men invade women's spaces twenty seven past the hour, new big story in the press box. Next. We touched on this very briefly yesterday,
and it's the autopen issue with Joe Biden. Our friends at Heritage Foundation have a group gathered in that it's called the Oversight Project. They posted this on x whoever controlled the auto pen controlled the presidency. We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature, except for the announcement that the former president was dropping out of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature,
and then they listed the autopen signatures. They showed them. Now. Autopen signatures are ones that are automatically produced by a machine as opposed to authentic handwritten signatures. That's what an autopen signature is. You may, for example, if you're filling out a lease or a set of documents, you may get a box that pops up and you have to use your finger, which is gross because I can't do a thing with the tip of my finger. I mean, I'm left handed as it is, so just writing with
a pen is barely legible. Make me use my finger. I might as well be a first grader with a crayon. And so you do that, and then you say you accept it or you don't. And then in the rest of the documents you click every time you want your auto pen signature to be noted. And so what they're pointing out in this and what there are increasing calls and calls to investigate by members of the House and the Senate. And perhaps this will come up on Thursday
with former governor now US Senator Rick Scott. You remember Special Counsel Robert Hurr. He investigated Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents that he kept when he was when he left office as Vice president. He wrote, and I quote, Biden's a sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. We know that the White House staff, his wife, his family, the the press secretary, they were all covering for him. Schumer,
Pelosi all covering for him. You remember when Barack Obama was leading him by the wrist off stage during a fundraiser because Biden was getting lost and confused. The Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney had to guide Biden back to a group of world leaders because he was wandering off at a g seventh summit. I mean literally, he was seen on video wandering away and she just gently grabbed
him by the arm and pulled him back. So what's happened now is Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking for an investigation as to whether quote Biden's cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical power without his knowing approval. We mentioned this as well. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, recounted that Biden didn't remember signing an order freezing new
liquid natural gas exports in twenty twenty four. Biden said to Johnson, this is Johnson. Now, he was there. Biden said, I didn't do that. Johnson, Sir, you paused it. I know I have the export terminals in my state. I talk to the people in my state. I talked to those people this morning. It's doing massive damage to our economy and national security. Johnson writes, I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought we're
in serious trouble. Who is running the country. Now here's where it gets real interesting, which I touched on yesterday. This potentially makes every one of those presidential pardons null and void. Think of the scope of who was included in that elected members of Congress. This is at the core of what was going on for the last four years. I told you he was the resident. I told you was Obama running things. I think he was, but he still had others doing it for him. That put the
auto pen signature in play. We need to know who was running this country. Forty one minutes after the hour, manly minute more coming up next, actually got ahead of myself Manly Minute next segment. I mentioned Dylan mulvaney on the View and his unanswer on women being forced to compete against men in sports trans women. Listen to what Hakim Jeffrey said on the topic. I'm gonna quote Matt Vespa because he Matt Vespa said, and I quote he
has become the male version of Kamala Harris. He may not serve up words, salads or come off as mentally challenged like his counterpart from California. But my word, the stuff that comes out of his mouth is weapons grade idiocy. That's a brilliant line, weapons grade idiocy. He was asked. Gavin Newsom said Democrats were in the wrong by allowing men to play women's sports. What's your response. First of all, kudos to the reporter for breaking it down so simply
allowing men to play women's sports. It's more accurate to say allowing men to compete against women in sports. And again, we're not talking about a battle of the sexes. We're not talking about, you know, something where there's an obvious competition a' llah Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King, which still was. By the way, she got to play the doubles court. He had to play the singles court, and he was a geriatric while she was in the prime
of her career. I'm just saying, but the reporter, Gavin Newsom said Democrats were in the wrong by allowing men to play women's sports. What's your response. Listen to what this is the minority leader for the House of Representatives. What Democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout the the United States of America. What do you oppose
men competing against women in sports? What Democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout the United States of America. What the heck is that he's actually parroting something that Alexandria Cassio Cortez, member of Congress from New York Democrat, has been saying, what you opposed the bill because sex predators would be unleashed. That makes no sense. And this is where the mainstream media is just lacking because there are very few out there that would do what I
just did. Wait what, no, no, no, no, what did you just say? What are you talking about? And to be honest with you, that's why illiberals and Democrats by and large don't come on this show. They're invited, they don't want to be asked the follow up question. People who know me know I'll be polite to people that I completely disagree with, but I will ask questions. Wait, what as politically incorrect as this? As this is okay? And I know that it is Someone posted online called
the redheaded Libertarian. I need someone fluent in retard to diagram this headline. In other words, what in the world is he talking about that's just absolute insanity. But that's where we are forty seven minutes past the hour, and yes, I'm going to continue to bring this up until we settle this problem. This made me laugh because WNBA player Angel Reeves just can't help herself. She and some of the other players, they just don't get it. And I sound like just such a misogynist as I even say
this stuff, but it's it's fact based. By and large. Unless Caitlin Clark is playing, no one cares about the WNBA. There are some wonderful women's basketball players that are throughout that league, of all colors, of all ethnicities, great skill sets, but the women's game has not caught on. Maybe it will one day, it hasn't yet. It has been propped up by the NBA. It has been paid for by the NBA. So when she talks about that they might sit out games until they get a better collective bargaining
agreement and better pay. No one will care this league that they've started this two on two or three on three league or whatever it is that they're doing to augment their salaries. Good for you, but no one's watching. People don't care. I'm sorry, she's out there. I'm just gonna read her quotes. The NBA don't pay my bills at all. I don't even think it pays one of
my bills. Literally, this is Angel Rees, who you could argue is made a living off of being the foil to Caitlin Clark, that without Caitlin Clark, no one cares about Angel Rees. I mean, you could make that argument. And so she gets out there and she's called out for saying that that they want to be paid like NBA players. She said, I never said anything like this, never said anything about the NBA. We're preparing. You got to say something about the NBA, because the is what's
paying for you to have a league. The WNBA suffered incredible financial losses if it's even breaking even thank you very much to the NBA. You're welcome, is what would be a thank you would be appropriate. She admitted back in October that she couldn't pay her bills according to the HEWNBA salary. I'm living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills. Baby, I just hope you know. WNBA don't pay my bills at all. I don't even think it pays one of my bills. Literally, I'm trying to think
of my rent where I'm at. Let me do the math real quick. I don't even know my WNBA salary. What seventy four thousand?
Baby?
If y'all thought the WNBA check don't pay a thing, didn't even pay my car note, I wouldn't be able to eat a sandwich with that, wouldn't be able to eat How many people living on fifty thousand dollars would love a piece of that seventy four? And what did she say? Living beyond my means? That's your problem, girlfriend, That is your problem. That is not our problem. I've just blown through the man the minute. That's all right,
I'll catch up next week on it. But it's just I like watching women's basketball, and I'm frustrated watching women's basketball because there's fourteen thousand jump balls and they fall on the ground all the time. But when they play it well, it's fun to watch. Big fan, love the game. But don't compare yourself. It's like live golf. You're not PGA golf, your exhibition golf. Don't compare yourself. Just be you be happy to be you be happy. There's a
professional option. Be happy that you have endorsements that pay you far more. Justin Haskins joins us next year on the Morning Show at Preston Scott on the radio yet again, third hour Tuesday on the Morning Show March eleventh, Show fifty three to thirty three. Jose, can you see over there in Studio one A. I'm here in Study one B, and I am joined by our friend on the Left Coast. He is Justin Haskins, Senior fellow, Heartland Institute, authors books
with Glenn Beck, and website Stoppingsocialism dot Com. Hello, my friend, how are you.
I'm doing very well. I was doing better and then you remind me I live on the Left Coast and now not doing quite as well. But that's okay.
But I forget about it.
It's often very pretty, if not rainy and wet.
That's true. It's gorgeous here. It's full of lunatics, but gorgeous. That's the trade off. That's the trade off.
Talk about feeling like a pair of brown shoes and a room full of tuxedos, yeah, which.
Is pretty common around here. By the way, people don't like to dress up on the Left Coast.
I know, I know, Justin, how excited should we be? I find myself, as a much older man now as excited about what we're learning. Yes, horrified too, But what doge? What doge is uncovering that, and what it's doing in states across the country that are mimicking it. I think it might be one of the most significant things that's ever happened in government in my lifetime.
It's it's it really is remarkable to see what conservatives have been saying for so long is true being proven true by an actual investigation. And it's amazing to watch the Democrats rally around this idea that we shouldn't be cutting waste and fraud and abuse and worried about dead people receiving benefits that they don't deserve, and worried about corruption. None of that should matter. I mean, that's like their official position at this point is that we just shouldn't care.
In fact, it's somehow shredding the constitution to even look into how taxpayer funds are being spent. It's unbelievable and fantastic. I agree. I think I think we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. I think the more they dig, the more time they have to look at what's really going on. We're going to find all kinds of corruption, and yes, taxpayer money will be saved. It's not going to be anywhere near enough to fix the debt problem we had in this country. But I don't really think
DOGE is about that. I think this is more about holding gu and government bureaucrats responsible and accountable to the people who pay their salaries. And I think that's good enough.
Justin I read a piece from Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute. I want to say he made a fascinating point. Any any and I'm curious what your reaction to this observation is. Does it matter that the people largely leading this effort happen to be refugees from the Democrat Party. Trump is a refugee from the Democrat Party. Elon Musk is a refugee of the Democrat Party.
Yeah. So I've thought about this a lot, and I think what we're seeing right now in political science they call it political realignment. We're seeing a realignment occur, and it's not just about politics. It's really about ideology in a lot of ways. There's a lot of people who were on the sort of the center left, like Elon Musk, who was a big supporter of Barack Obama. Yeah one time,
Joe Rogan. You know people like this who was a Bernie Sanders guy, who are realizing that the corruption and the power that has existed in Washington, d C. And an in state capitals has become so great that it has to be at least to some extent dismantled. And that is a significant political alignment. And there's other things too, like trade and other things that really have changed. And so I do think it's extremely important to see to see that it really isn't just oh well, this is
the far right imposingness on everyone else. No, this whole mission is being led by a guy who was a Barack Obama supporter, not by someone on the far right. So I do think that's important for the American people to see that, Look, there is a lot of corruption in government, there is a lot of authoritarianism. There does need to be something that has to be done about this, And there are people You don't necessarily have to be
a hardcore right winger to believe that. You could be someone who agrees mostly with me on Musk, who doesn't agree with me on all sorts of things like climate change, you know, and the benefits of electric vehicles and a whole bunch of other things. But what we do agree on is that the government needs to be held accountable to its citizens and it's not. And I think that
that is a great point by mister Tucker. However, I am a little bit worried by that as well, because Trump is very dependent politically on this sort of coalition that he's built with the center left, and over time, my concern is that the center left is going to sort of move the Republican Party further to the left
on a lot of issues. I'm also concerned that if Democrats ever get their act together and they realize that they need to sort of infuse some common sense into their operations, which might never happen, but if they ever realize it, they could probably win those people back with a common sense candidate on the center left. And so there are problems with this coalition that's being built as well, but right now I think it's a really good thing for the American people to see.
Justin Haskins with me back with more here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Justin Haskins with the Hartland Institute my guests this morning on the program, Justin, we I think at this point most everybody in America knows about DEI. They know what the acronym stands for, because there's been so much focused in the first fifty days of the Trump administration. Are you concerned that we're losing sight of ESG and remind our listeners what that stands for.
Yeah, So, ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. It's a kind of social credit scoring system that's imposed primarily on businesses, but it can also be imposed on whole countries, it can be imposed on individuals. And essentially what it seeks to do is to place a score, a value, a social credit score on entities based on non financial metrics. So instead of measuring a business based on justice, profit and loss and customer satisfaction and traditional business metrics like that,
you would evaluate the business on those things. Plus does it support left wing causes in its community? Does it battle climate change? Does it limit its water consumption, et cetera. And so it's a really dangerous thing because it's a systematic way of transforming society through the financial system through interaction with government and private entities using government contracts and
things like that. And for a long time, the last decade or so, the left has slowly been sort of imposing this into a variety of it depends on the situation, but in a variety of different ways throughout the economy, primarily through big asset managers like black Rock and people like that. And they've been moving the country to the
left through ESG, imposing it on big corporations. And what I've been fighting for and what we've been talking about on this show for a long time, is stopping the use of ESG through the financial system and other things, because essentially banks and financial managers and others have been using it to force the whole economy to move to the left, and they shouldn't be doing that. You shouldn't be denied access to a bank account, for Examsmple because
you don't agree with the bank on climate change. But that's exactly the kind of thing that they are allowed to do. So DEI has been getting all the headlines DEI programs and colleges, DEI programs and governments and all of that. It's similar to ESG, except ESG is the thing that actually is being used with money. So that's the thing that has teeth. It's not just a program
that exists at a college. It's something that's being used by financial institutions and others to actually impose these values on other people that don't have the program. And so it's a really dangerous thing. And I think that Donald Trump understands that. I think Republicans understand it, but so far they haven't taken actual tangible action against it yet. There's been legislation that's been proposed to stop ESG and banking, called the Fair Access Bill, Fair Access to Banking Act,
and I hope it passes. There's a lot of support from Republicans in the House and in the Senate for that, but it hasn't moved yet. Donald Trump could pass the regulation that stops banking from doing this. That hasn't happened yet, although I suspect he might. And there's been a lot of action at the state level, but not as much going on at the federal level yet. And I wish that that would become a bigger issue than the DEI
issue because of how authoritarian it is. DEI is bad for a variety of reasons, but it's not necessarily authoritarian, but this is an authoritarian idea.
Justin Haskins with us from the Heartland Institute. More to come here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty two passed the hour final segment here it just moves too fast. Justin Haskins with us from the Heartland Institute. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Justin. Congress Woman Cat Camick is a regular guests now on the show.
She's not our congressional representative where we live, necessarily, but she's the only one in Florida that does not allow, and does not accept, and does not ask for any pork. She challenges other members of the Republican Caucus inside the Sunshine State to join her. So far she's alone, but she and Ran Paul have co sponsored the Rains Act, which brings a certain degree of accountability. But she also broke out something to me in the last visit that
I couldn't believe. She said justin that none of the bureaucrats, none of the people that actually work in Congress, have a background check, and so she is proposing legislation to require background checks for everybody that works as a legislative aid or any level of bureaucrat inside the Beltway.
I think that's great. I think they absolutely should do that. Why should the rules be different for members of Congress and their stiff And of course, the rules are different on all sorts of things. They've been different on health insurance, They've been different on those kinds of things. They're different on on a variety of different levels. But that's one of those things where you know, once again, how is this the first that I'm hearing about this?
That's you know, that's the point.
Incredible, she said.
She said to me in a break, she said, did you know that members that work for the House in the Senate don't have to go through a background check? I said, you're kidding me. She said, aha, she said, I've not said that to one person that said that. Oh yeah, I knew that. No one knows it, nobody. And that's why Alexandri Cossio Cortez had an aid working for her that was illegally in this country and he's self deported back to Columbia.
Right, And I did hear about that story. And that's and that's exactly the point. For all these years for all these decades, we've had Republicans in Congress and in the White House, frankly, who have not taken the issues that we have seriously and really have presented themselves as sort of champions of the conservative cause and limited government and all of that, but in reality they were just slogans on flyers that they handed out and TV commercials
they produced, but they didn't actually do the things. I mean, surely she's not the first congress person to realize this. So how many hundreds or thousands of Republicans over the past several decades knew that and just didn't care didn't
do anything about it. I mean, this is we desperately need what is happening right now, which is a revolution in the Republican Party, a complete transformation of our mission and goals to the things that we thought the Republicans were for in the past but apparently weren't.
Right.
It's the least radical, radical revolution in the history of a political party. We just want them to do what we asked them to do three decades ago and thought they were doing but actually weren't. And it is finally starting to happen because we've gotten beginning with the tea Party movement back in the Obama days, going all the way up to today. It has taken a long time to get rid of a lot of the dead weight in the Republican Party and a lot of the closeted Democrats.
But we are finally getting there. And good for Cat Cammick. That's a great story.
Tell me this justin as you well know anyone who listens to a show like this, Yeah, there are exceptions. There are people that are on the other side philosophically and politically. But you're preaching to the choir. But what should the choir be doing. That's the most effective thing to do in support of pushing back on ESG, in support of these types of bills that Congresswoman Caemick are pushing out, or just in general.
Yeah, I think the most important thing that you can do on any issue is to call your lawmaker. People think that that doesn't matter, but it actually matters a lot. They track that both at the congressional level and especially at the local level. They're very concerned by it. Actually doesn't take a ton of calls to get people's attention in those offices. Don't email, call yep and be very respectful and kind and just say, look, this is my priority.
These are the things I think are important. But if members of Congress get a bunch of phone calls in a day, that does move the needle. It does impact them because they want to stay in office. That's what a lot of politicians number one goal is. And if they think that staying in office means fighting ESG and doing the right things and eliminating corruption and supporting what
Doge's mission is, then they will do it. But they have to believe that and the only way they'll believe it is if they hear from their voters, their constituents.
And if they're a Republican that's in Congress, they need to fear being primary, which is why you have to hold them accountable.
Exactly. They're not worried about general election, but they are worried about the kind of person that calls up a conservative calls them up on the phone and says you need to do something. They are worried about that person in the primary voting for another candidate. That takes it more seriously, and frankly, we need more good people running for office. Yes, at the state and local level especially, but at the federal level too.
Justin, you're one of my heroes. Brother. Thanks so much for what you do. I appreciate you very much.
Thanks, Preston, appreciate it.
That was Justin Haskins with us this morning from the Heartland Institute Stoppingsocialism dot com and of course co authors a lot of books with Glenn Beck. But he's our friend, and that's on top of the resume here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
On News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.
It sounds so ethereal.
It sounds as though I must wax eloquent on something, eh while sitting on my drafting chair with their fine Corinthian leather, the rich smell of musk in the studio or not.
Thirty six past the hour quickly the big stories in the press box, Doctor Robert Malone writing about the meetup between Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior and some of the big hitters in the food industry, General Mills and PepsiCo, among others. It's being derided, but the pressure is on to do some si looking at the impact of seed oils and foods and the ingredients in processed foods in particular making them healthier. I'm all for it,
just so I can keep eating my Cheetos. Baby, Come on, Cheetos and barbecue chips. Yeah, yeah, now, I I think it's smart. I think that Kennedy is is very seriously focused and targeted on things impacting the health of millions of Americans, and he's simply challenging what's going on. Understand, the pressure in the agriculture industry against Kennedy is huge
because I mean seed oils, seeds. I mean, we're talking something that's almost universally, first of all, on all plant based foods because they rely on the seed oils for fat. And if you look at the ingredient labels on about everything, you're gonna find seed oils and there are just healthier options. And I for one, don't think it will impact the agriculture industry as much as they think, because there's like the entire world that needs food. You just export more
if it's not as needed. But best as I can tell, I mean there's some that could switch to chickens. I'm just saying. I know I'm being stupid, because you know, growing crops is different than producing animals. I get that, but you know, I'm just anyway, I think this is good news. I think it's very good news. And questions being raised on Joe Biden's use of the autopen and not so much Joe Biden's use, but who was using it.
There is a call for an investigation. Missouri's Attorney General's asking the Department of Justice to look into whether there were things allegedly signed by the president that weren't signed
by the president. There is evidence growing that Joe Biden was not aware of much of what was signed in his name by the Autopen, and there's a reason to look at it, and it could be remarkably important as relates to say, oh, I don't know presidential pardons, that maybe he didn't sign that bureaucrats signed, or somebody told the bureaucrats to sign it on his behalf and Biden knows nothing about it. And let's face it, Biden doesn't know much about anything. And I'm not slamming in his intellect,
which has always been questionable. I'm slamming his cognitive abilities. Anyway, those are the big stories in the press box. Forty minutes past the hour, come back A little money talk standing by Howard Eisman waiting in the wings time for little money talk. We are joined by investment advisor Howard Heisman with Enhanced Financial Services securities in and off advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member Finner and SIPC. NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC
Bank USA. The opinions expressed or not those of NBC Securities Inc. Or iHeartMedia and inappropriate matters seek professional tax and or legal advice.
Why lie so you lay them money?
Howard? For the uninitiated, remind everybody, or teach everybody, what the term bullish and bearish means in the world of stocks.
Sure, the person with a bullish perspective is anticipating and hoping that stocks are going to move up. Bearish just the opposite. Someone with a bearish view is not optimistic at all, is very negative about the outlet.
What are observers seeing in the marketplace right now, say, as opposed to recently?
Sure, there was a real shift, Preston. I think that began when stocks hit an all time high in mid February, and by the end of last month, the bearish sentiment had spiked from forty percent to sixty percent in a weekly survey that's been done for decades by the American
Association of Individual Investors and Presston. This was the high I asked bearish or negative perspective on the part of investors since the bottom of the last bear market, which was in early October of twenty two, And it actually was the seventh highest negative vote by individual investors going all the way back to nineteen eighty seven. So certainly
something to keep an eye on. And again one of the highest levels just means folks have become pessimistic after being very, very optimistic just a relatively short while ago.
Yeah, we had warned prior to the new year that with the new administration coming that there was a lot of heavy lifting to be done and things were not going to be easy over the next four years, and perhaps we're seeing the beginning of that. You know, one other area where this is showing up, Howard, is people living just pain rent and so forth. What what are rent numbers looking like right now?
Well, they're very, very challenging, particularly for folks that are working, but maybe towards the lower end of the wage scale. The premise for decades, Preston has been the folks, whether they're single or with families, should be spending no more than thirty percent of their take home earnings on their housing.
And if you look at the average minimum wage worker, that individual would have to work one hundred and six hours a week to be able to afford a median priced rental apartment, which nowadays is gone for about sixteen hundred dollars. And that sixteen hundred dollars for that apartment would require that worker basically to work about three times more than the average national work week today, which is around thirty four hours a week.
Wow.
Yeah, Yeah, it's a big it's a big lift, and it's actually when we look at housing in general, that's one of the concerns that we've talked about before, and I'm not sure that that one has played out. So that's one to I think really keep a close eye on is this year and in the next year plays out.
We've got about a minute left. Let's talk about the you know, we talk about discretionary income and how people that are earning minimum wage they obviously have far less, if any, discretionary income. What are the numbers showing us on those that are earning a lot of money versus those that are not, and who's saving what?
Sure, Well, here's what the numbers say. Households in the top ten percent of annual income this past year accounted for fifty percent of all spending. And you know, we're still very much consumer oriented economy. That's a big, big deal. And that fifty percent number on the part of the higher income earners is up from about thirty six percent thirty years ago. So let's go back a few years, Preston.
Since the start of the pandemic, households in the top ten percent of annual income ready for this number, have accrued excess savings more than they need of one point three trillion, compared to those that are in the bottom ninety percent of income earners, who have accrued about three hundred million. Obviously, that's not per household the collectively, so
big big gap. And of course, I think when you look back to the last election, frankly, it was really decided by folks in the working class the middle class that decide at the election, and right now I think those are the folks that are particularly hurting right now.
Howard is always great data, and we'll talk again in a couple of weeks look.
Forward to Preston have a great rest of the week, sir.
Thank you. Howard Eisman with us this morning on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Real quickly and closing. This is Funny London Comedy Club, Top Secret Comedy Club. They've got two locations. The owner is now face checking everybody who comes in, not screening for criminals, looking for botox. He will not allow anybody in the club that has had botox injections. I've had numerou complaints from performers who find it increasingly challenging to gauge audience engagement and bounce
off their reactions. Comedy thrives on connection. Facial expressions play a huge part, but frozen faces from botox impact the entire atmosphere. So before someone's allowed in to attend a comedy show, they have to smile, and if they can't, they don't get let into the club. Crazy thought, alternative way of looking at this. Could it be that because you're in the woke UK, you just don't have anybody who's funny anymore. I'm just wondering.
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA.
Started the day with Second Timothy four versus sixteen and seventeen. That's where we began. The radio program. Had a great conversation with Justin Haskins, as we always do. That interview will be a conversations podcast as well as be part of them morning show podcast, Big Store in the press Box. The auto pen signature Biden appears on most official documents, but he doesn't seem to recall signing much of anything. So who was signing him? Who is putting Biden's signature
to things? An investigation is being called for by the Department of Justice from the Attorney General of Missouri, Kennedy and Make America Healthy Again meeting up with the Titans of the food industry talking about seed oils, processed foods.
A lot of people nervous about that one.
I'm loving it. I think it's awesome. I would love to not have to read so many labels. You take one look at me and you're like, you read labels? Really? Yeah, I know, I do. Angel Reese and WNBA player saying that the players of the WNBA might sit out games
to negotiate higher salaries. Good luck with that, because no one will care Hakeem Jefferies said, the dumbest thing regarding trans athletes and women's sports, what democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout the United States of America. That's kind of what we're saying, isn't it Just anyway, Scott Beacon wrote a great piece on the war between Russia and Ukraine Ukraine.
War number plus three years.
