Episode Transcript

(00:09):
We're back. Like a bad penny, we just keep turning up. How
are you friends, It's been awhile since we've last chatted. Tuesday,
June twenty fifth, Show fifty oneeighty three of the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. I am Preston. Heis Jared, and I got your email.

(00:34):
Stopped at the stores. See,we make sure that you find us
quality programming by putting things on inour place that aren't. We just look,
it's it's we don't have the abilityto just have someone come in here

(00:55):
and sit here, though I've alwayswanted to have that, but we do
not have that opportunity at this time, and so when I take time off,
that's just what happens. But we'rehere, we're together. You deserve
your time off like everybody else.Preston, I look, I don't feel
bad about it. I don't,but as opposed to just fretting because I

(01:21):
mean some of the email they've takenyou off the air in this station here
in Panama City. I said,no, no, no, no,
no, I am just merely onvacation. The email I got in reply
was thank goodness, yeah no,no, no. Now, those places
that choose to air this programming.Do not regret it. My only regret

(01:42):
is that more places don't choose toair it inside Florida. I have no
interest in this show being anywhere otherthan, of course, via iHeartRadio.
This is a Florida Central program becauseit's the best state in the country,
and I'm thrilled to be here.Anyway, we welcome you to the show.
Our verse today comes from Isaiah fiftythree, verse six. All all,

(02:08):
we like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his
own way. The Lord has laidon him who him Jesus, the iniquity
of us. All. If yougo back to our Christmas shows and you

(02:35):
remember the posts that I do everyyear, The Man and the Birds piece
written by Lewis Castle's Chicago, notwith the Chicago. He was based in
Chicago with the United President of Nationaland he was a religion editor and he
wrote this piece years ago, andPaul Harvey made it famous, and when
Paul passed away, I decided totake it and to keep it alive because

(03:01):
Paul Harvey couldn't do it every year. And so yeah, I remind us
all that Jesus came to do whatwe can't do. And couldn't do,

(03:24):
and he took it all on himself. Now, I'll be honest with you.
You look at the news some daysand you shake your head and you
wonder why God puts up with us. We'll unpack some things today on the
program. Got some money talk notdoing a manly minute doing Sons of Thunder

(03:50):
today. Gonna just kind of pausethe Manly Minute and pump the brakes on
that because we didn't do yesterday's show, and I think the segment Sons of
Thunder more important, So we'll dothat. And we've got a guest talking
about brain drain, how to keepyour kids a little bit more plugged in
in the summertime to prepare for fallschool. But right now, get ready

(04:13):
for the dip, dip into thehistory books. Here in the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Ten say ofsensibility, communicator of common sense amplified.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. To pass the hour. On this

(04:38):
day in nineteen seventeen, transport shipscarrying fourteen thousand US troops in the American
Expeditionary Force approach the shores of France. This is nineteen seventeen where the soldiers
joined the Allied fight against the CentralPowers in World War One. The US

(04:58):
had been reluctant to the Great War. Many Americans viewed it as a European
fight, which they wanted to knowpart of. President Woodrow Wilson had won
reelection in nineteen sixteen on the sloganhe kept US out of war, but
German aggression, including U boat strikesagainst American cargo ships, gradually changed public
opinion. Wilson realized the country couldnot avoid a conflict that was engulfing much

(05:24):
of the world. As US troopslanded in France, Americans were mindful of
an old debt owed that nation Francehad been the colonialists had been the colonists.
Most important ally, during the RevolutionaryWar, the Marquis de Lafayette had
fought beside Patriots soldiers, equipping someof them at his own expense. He

(05:46):
won the affection of George Washington becamea hero to the young nation. Urged
on by Lafayette, France had sentships, troops, and arms that played
a key role in the Patriots victory. So early in July of ninetheen seventeen,
the newly arrived American forces marched underthe Arc de Triumph, cheered on
by the people of Paris in aceremony at Lafayette's tomb, where the Frenchman

(06:11):
lies buried under dirt from Bunker Hill. Boy, I didn't know that.
Wow, did you know that?No, that's a new one for me.
That's incredible. An American officer laiddown a wreath of pink and white
roses. Another officer stepped forward,snapped a salute, and declared, Lafayette,
we are here. Whoo that dogoosey bumps? Yeah, man,

(06:40):
that is incredible. The words Lafayette, we are here still a good reminder
of the need to stand fast withallies when tyranny threatens. We'll get to
that later in the news. Seventeeneighty eight, Virginia becomes the tenth state
to ratify the Constitution. Sixty eight, President Andrew Johnson signs legislation providing for

(07:03):
an eight hour work day for workersemployed by the federal government. Eighteen seventy
six, the Battle of Little Bighorn, Custer and more than two hundred and
fifty soldiers died after they attacked theIndians camp, and on this date.
In nineteen fifty, the Korean Warerupts when North Korean troops invade South Korea.

(07:28):
Things didn't work out for North Korea. That country has suffered ever since.
All right, sixteen minutes after thehour, let's come back catch up
on some things here going on locallynext USLA on your phone with the iHeartRadio
app and on hundreds of devices likeAlexa, Google Home, Xbox, and
Sonos. This is Chrysler and IheartsRadio Sation twenty one past the hour.

(08:03):
This is our effort at keeping youin the loop on some important things going
on here in the Leon County area, specifically as it relates to in this
segment. There is still help neededcleaning up after the tornadoes. I've got

(08:33):
a very good friend who works withSamaritans Purse. Now I was very candid
with them. I love Samaritans Purse, but I am very disappointed in Franklin
Graham and how he handled COVID,And so I just said, you know,

(09:03):
I'm no longer on their mailing list. So if we can help,
let us know how, and we'lldo our best. And so I got
a note. There are still almosttwo hundred and forty work orders that Samaritan's
Purses received from people that just needhelp. These are people that do not

(09:26):
have the resources or the strength.They might be shut ins, they might
be senior adults that simply need trees, limbs, debris cleared from their yard.
And Samaritan's Purse has been here sincethe storms. In fact, they've

(09:52):
sent staff into town because they justdon't have enough volunteers. So I just
got this information in with enough specificsthat I can share it better. They
took over eight hundred and fifty workorders Samaritan's Purse. They've completed three hundred

(10:13):
and forty three of them. Twohundred and eighty five have been completed by
other groups, other individuals, volunteers, and there's two hundred and thirty eight
still open as of this weekend,So if you can help. They are

(10:35):
based at Calvary Chapel on East Mayhan. If you if you were to drive
down I ten and get off atthe Mayhan exit and go east a little
bit further, it's not far fromthe interstate. They are based there.
They are they are staying there andevery day at seven twenty five am Eastern

(11:01):
and twelve twenty five pm Eastern Mondaythrough Saturday, they they meet and send
crews out now. You need tohave your own transportation. You'll get a
short safety orientation, you'll be placedon a team. You bring your own

(11:24):
water bag, lunch or snacks,whatever you feel like. You need sunscreened
sunscreen and some hand sanitizer. Andyou should wear long pants and close toe
work shoes or boots. I wouldadd maybe bring rake if you have a
chainsaw, maybe bring a chain saw, bring some work gloves. That would

(11:46):
That's just me, But if youcan help. They plan to be here
through July twelfth, but they'll stayas long as there's an order that needs
to be fulfilled, a request forhelp. So on one hand, look,
Samaritan's Purse does great work. We'velinked up with them several times over

(12:13):
the years on projects with our OperationThanksgiving and Spirit of Christmas. That said,
I just felt like Franklin Graham reallydropped the ball when he was pressuring
Christians to get the shot. Hewas wrong, and I've not heard him
correct that. I'm not holding agrudge. He does so many good things

(12:39):
and he's a good man. Hewas wrong, and so you know,
I'm separating that out from there.There's needs and there are people coming into
our town and helping, and soif you can help, and perhaps some
of you are able to do that, that would be awesome. So again,
just show up Valary Chapel at seventwenty five this morning or twelve twenty

(13:03):
five in the afternoon Monday through Saturday, and they're just sending teams out and
you can just do it once,you can do it multiple times. It's
up to you. So there yougo, twenty seven past the hour.
Let's come back with the big storiesin the press Box and you will not
want to miss those. Next tothe Morning Show subjects will just make you
furious. Don't worry. We're hereto make it all better. It's the

(13:26):
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Allright, let's get right to it.
Thirty five past the hour, Tuesday, back with you. He's Jared,
I'm Preston. It's the Morning Showwith Preston Scott. Hi. There.

(13:50):
Share a little bit about my timeaway later in the program, but first,
the big Stories in the press Boxbrought to you by Grove Creative Marketing
and Digital. Like Bertise State Workers, you get an extra day next week.
The governor is shutting it down,not just on Thursday, July fourth,
but Friday the fifth. So you'regetting a nice four day weekend.

(14:11):
Well done, So am I ahdo it too? Solidarity with you anyway,
so's that's one thing. But thesestories, now two of them are

(14:33):
public service announcement stories. Fyis becauseit's hot gets hot in the summer about
every year. Scottsdale, Arizona,Renee Sanchez loaded her twenty month old granddaughter
into her car seat. They wereheading to the Phoenix Zoo, which,

(14:54):
oh, by the way, anamazing zoo patterned after the San Diego Zoo.
It's just it's a beautiful zoo.She She went around to get her
granddaughter out of the car, onlyto find out that her Tesla had died.

(15:20):
She couldn't open the door. Now, Tesla drivers probably know that there's
a little hidden, little unlock latchinside the door the arm rest of the
door if you're inside the car,But if you're outside the car, there

(15:43):
is no provision that has been madeother than a rewiring and another battery that
takes time to get back in thevehicle. So her granddaughter's in there.
We're talking Scottsdale, Arizona, Phoenixheat and it's getting bad quickly. Firefighters

(16:04):
showed up. Quote, oh no, it's a Tesla. Can't get into
him. Grandma said, I don'tcare what you do. Get into the
car. I don't care if youcut it in half. Get my granddaughter.
So they taped up the window,used an axe. They taped it

(16:27):
up so that the shattered glass asmuch as possible would stay attached to the
tape, and a firefighter was ableto safely get the granddaughter out. She's
fine, everything's fine. Tesla's servicepersonnel determined that the three warnings that are
supposed to come when you're running outof battery never happened. She wasn't warned.

(16:53):
Just making note of another reason whywe're not there. Second story,
much closer to home. Six visitorskilled in Florida over the last week because
of rip currents over a span oftwo days, both coasts, but once

(17:19):
again, Panama City Beach. Theflags are out and people from out of
town don't know what they mean,and so they just ignore. All of
the beachgoers who died were from outof state. A mom and dad went

(17:47):
out to try to rescue their kids. Their kids managed to get out,
they didn't. A young man sweptalong didn't know how to get out of
a rip current reminder Red flag highhazard, Double red flags beach is closed,

(18:12):
stay the stink out of the water, Purple flag dangerous marine life.
It may be jellyfish, it maybe sharks. I'm announcing this because I
know we have out of town.We have people listening all across the country
that are gonna come to Florida.Maybe you'll remember. Maybe you'll remember if

(18:34):
you get caught in a rip current, don't swim against it, swim parallel
to the beach until you can escapeit, or just don't fight it.
It'll pull you out a little bit. Then swim as the current lessons,
but the conditions are ripe. Justdon't be in the water. The flags

(18:55):
are up, and if you're ona beach without flags, check first.
It does not take much, especiallyif you if you have little children.
More stories next. I'm halfway throughthe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Remember
the days when times were good andlife was simple? He still lives there.

(19:17):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott onNews Radio one hundred point seven WFLA
quick note, it would seem thatJoe Biden is pushing us into a world
war for US provided Army Tactical MissileSystem rockets were intercepted over seven stopol and

(19:52):
the shrapnel from a fifth rocket raineddown on beach goers, killing at least
four, including a couple of kids, injuring more than one hundred and fifty
others, about half of those inhospitals. Last month, the Biden administration
gave Ukraine authorization to use the Americanmade weapons for limited strikes. There's discussion

(20:21):
on those things can't be used withoutbeing basically programmed by the United States,
so we had to know the targetingand be involved in that. I don't
know one way or the other.What I know is we're getting drawn deeper
and deeper into this. And I'llbe honest with you, I don't have
a whole lot of regard for Ukraine. I'm no fan of Putin, but

(20:45):
I'm no fan of what's going onwith Ukraine. And I also am keenly
aware that Joe Biden is compromised inhis judgment as it relates to Ukraine.
And I believe that everybody in administrationis because they know that they have the
dirt on Biden. They paid himfor years through his son Hunter. It
was a bribery scheme when he wasvice president. He's talked about it openly.

(21:12):
I'm just we're getting drawn in,folks. And speaking of Joe,
the Biden border is responsible for yetanother young child being murdered in this country
by illegals, this time a twelveyear old little girl in Houston discovered in

(21:34):
a shallow creek after being strangled todeath. She was likely raped. She
made the mistake of she's twelve.She made the mistake of sneaking out of
her mom's home about ten o'clock atnight and heading to a convenience store,
and a couple guys followed her intothe store and eventually lured her under a

(21:59):
bridge to another location where they murderedher viciously. They came into the country
weeks ago. They were apprehended andthen released. How many let me share

(22:21):
a thought. Biden and Democrats havemade a calculated decision. This is acceptable
collateral damage to get eleven million illegalsregistered to vote, because that's what they're

(22:44):
pushing to do. They may notget all of them done in time for
the twenty twenty four election, butthat's their goal. Because the Democrat Party
is hemorrhaging voters. They need anew victim class, they need more supporters
and women and children being murdered byillegals. And I'll point out that these

(23:10):
like that. I believe these twoare from Venezuela. I know one of
them is. You remember what wasgoing on in Venezuela. Murdeuau was releasing
the prisoners that are the worst ofthe worst to leave the country and come
into America. We're getting the mostvicious evil people Venezuela has to offer,

(23:34):
and they're coming through our open borderbecause of Biden and Democrats. And Democrats,
I'm starting to take it personal.This is on you, This is
on your conscience. This is onyou supporting this. Did you see that

(23:59):
Alvin Bragg did dismissed the charges againstthe protesters at Columbia University. What so
we're allowing anti semitism now, violence, attacks, breaking of the law.
This is all on Democrats. It'son you. What's happening on our southern

(24:22):
border, the murder of these children. This is on you people because you're
voting for this. You vote forDemocrats, you vote for this. This's
on you. Forty six minutes afterthe Hour Show with Preston Scott, this
is the Way on news radio onehundred point seven WUFLA pro Palestinian protesters attacking

(24:52):
Jews outside a Jewish synagogue in LosAngeles attack w T H. This is
ridiculous. This shouldn't be happening.It's happening where Democrats run states and communities.

(25:21):
It doesn't happen where Republicans run things. Republicans aren't perfect, God knows,
they're part of the uniparty problem,but there's there. It's night and
day difference what happens in Florida versuswhat happens in California or New York or
Illinois or Michigan or or or oror I mean fill in the blank.

(25:48):
Now, I understand this is aconundrum for Democrats in a community like Tallahassee.
All you got is Democrats to votefor. You can't just blindly vote
for Republicans anymore, because they couldbe plants, they could be rhinos,
you don't know. So you haveto then go deeper. Now that leads

(26:11):
to a story that we will certainlybe talking about with Steve Stewart on Thursday.
But I just want to point outthere was a piece written in the
Tallahassee Democrat which is a Gannett ownednewspaper that used to have large circulation and
has virtually none anymore. It justand Jeremy Mattlowe reads this, writes this

(26:32):
piece Commissioner a way out of atoxic political environment. And I just laughed
at the headline before I even readit. I read it, but I
laughed out loud. And there arepeople that listen to the show and you're
Jeremy Mattlowe, sick of phans,and you work for him and you're friends
with him, and good on you. It's a laughable headline because the person

(26:57):
who started the toxic nameature of politicsin tallahasse'es him. You know, it's
so comical for me to sit backand for many of you to sit back,
because this is all Democrat infighting.Now you've got moderate old school liberals
having to hold off the progressives thatare trying to destroy this community. Inevitably,

(27:22):
it's up to you, Republicans,conservatives, independents. You're going to
decide what happens. Your votes aregoing to decide. And you can either
be fooled by the nonsense of mattLowe and Porter his bff. Politically speaking,
who an ethics complaint has been filedagainst her with the State Commission on

(27:47):
Ethics, and she's in trouble becauseshe didn't follow the advice of the city
attorney and Talashi reports has done allthe digging again. Well, we'll deal
with all that, But just thehypocrisy of Matt Lowe, who you may

(28:07):
remember last election cycle, not thatthis one. He's taking it up a
notch. He's formed a political actioncommittee against his own colleagues. Matt low
started this by campaigning against his colleaguesthe last cycle. He and pored her
both so to suddenly cry, ohthe toxic nature when he's the one who

(28:33):
poisoned the waterhole. It's funny,it really is. He's counting on you
being uninformed. He's counting on younot knowing what's going on. He's counting
on you not being nuanced and understandingwhy he voted against the tax increase.
Look, they shouldn't have raised taxesin this community. It was a bad
mistake. But the reasons why hesaid no has has everything to do with

(28:57):
political maneuvering, not wanting to givepolice more money to hire more officers.
Keep in mind, he's the onewho routinely calls law enforcement murderers and the
worst that you can imagine. Soanyway, all right, let's get to
our two talk about some other thingsnext, all right, wiping the slate

(29:32):
clean, starting with the second hourhere of Tuesday, June twenty fifth,
on The Morning Show with Preston Scottback with you live and in your ears
yet again. Friends, ladies andgentlemen, boys and girls, males and
females only, and of course ruminatorsall near and far. He's Jared,

(29:53):
I'm Preston. Quick note here forthose of you that are coffee drinkers,
and most all of you are.A Wisconsin based coffee manufacturer, Snap Chill,
LLC, is voluntarily recalling all oftheir stuff. Now. They ship

(30:14):
nationwide, and they ship their stuffunder a lot of different brand names.
Potentially the way it produced a specificbatch of low acid canned coffee products was
not done according to the FDA properly, and so they're doing a voluntary recall

(30:38):
for concerns of botulism, which isbad. Now they're sold under a range
of different roaster and brand names,variety of metal cans ranging from seven ounces
to twelve ounces. Here's what youdo if it just to be certain you

(31:03):
look under the nutrition facts panel,which everything has. Now, if it
says produced and distributed by snap ChillLLC, you need to look into returning
it and getting a replacement or arefund or whatever. So produced and distributed
by snap Chill LLC, most ofthe coffees are not going to have snap

(31:26):
Chill as the brand. They're goingto be under something else and produced by.
So there you go, just tryingto help you. Ever been abroad,
I've never. The farthest I've beenis like the Bahamas, Caribbean,

(31:47):
and yeah, I've been to theCaribbean islands and to Mexico, but not
to Europe or anything like that.Yeah. Now, of course I will
not go back to Mexico. Notgoing to go in my lifetime. Never,
never, never won't go going toEurope. I mean, I would
admit there are places that I wouldlove to see in my lifetime, but

(32:13):
I'm not so determined as to atthis point fight the unfriendly skies and go.
However, Paris is a thing becausethe Olympics are coming to Paris in
just a few weeks. iHeartMedia,the official audio sponsor of the Olympic Games.

(32:35):
And then there's this ah Paris.When you think ah Paris, you're
probably not thinking this. I don'tknow if it happened yesterday. I have
not seen the follow up, butPalaesians were planning to poop in the Sand
river to protest poor water conditions.Apparently this has been an ongoing battle in

(33:00):
Paris for quite a while. Well, wouldn't that just make the water conditions
worse? Uh huh Yeah. Apparentlythere was an alleged one point five billion
dollar project that was supposed to cleanup the river ahead of the Olympic Games.
Government officials, the president Emmanuel Macomband the Paris mayor and Hildalgo both

(33:24):
promised that they would they would gofor a swim in the sen prior to
the Olympics to prove its safe.Thus far, the efforts to clean the
river up have failed. Government officialsare saying it's the rainfall. We've had

(33:44):
high rainfall. One would think rainfallwould make it better, unless they're talking
runoff. But apparently samples at theriver at different points have found alarming levels
of ACTI area from sewage and othersources. And so what started out as

(34:07):
a joke, it took off andbecame viral and apparently a bunch of Parisians
were going to drop their drawers andtake a dump in the river yesterday.
I got nothing for you, folks, that's just it's in the news.
I'm sure the Marquis de Lafayette wouldbe very proud of as coach. Oh
my goodness, gracious, I justI just you know. Now, now

(34:35):
here's the thing. Do you rememberBrazil? The Olympics in Brazil. Oh,
yeah, that was a mess.And why water? They were shipping
in bottled water because athletes were gettingsick. Visitors were getting sick. Yeah,
they were getting digestive issues, yes, diarrhea and all kinds of nasty
stuff. There was something in thewater. So it looks like this Olympic

(35:00):
may be plagued with something similar.So we'll have to wait and see.
That is not what Paris wants,not at all. Ten minutes past the
hour, come back with a Yeah, one year's and still growing, So
tell a friend, both of them. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. All Right, this storyI grabbed a hold of from last week.

(35:45):
Jared and I were talking about thefact that when I unplugged from the
show, I do a pretty goodjob of pulling the plug. I don't
sit down very much at my computerother than to clear my email box,
because, as I've mentioned, Iget fifteen hundred to two thousand email a
week, and I just I can'tfall behind on that. Even on vacation,

(36:09):
I have to get in there andgo through and process that stuff.
And so, you know, Igot the usual panic, you're off the
air. What happened? Did theyfire you? I don't get early on.
I got good riddance, you know, every now and then. I

(36:29):
don't get that very often. I'msure there's one or two people that would
prefer I not be on the air, But that's okay. I don't hold
a grudge. I look, Dadtaught me it takes two horses to make
a race, and someone always hasto be wrong. And so I'm grateful
that you're still listening, even thoughsome of you are wrong all the time.

(36:52):
It's okay, It's all right,hum. But I held onto this
story series of posts from Tom Fitten. Tom Fitton is if you don't know,
Tom heads up Judicial Watch. He'sthe president. We've had him on

(37:13):
the show a few times over theyears. Judicial Watch is like Liberty Council
in a different way. Liberty Councilgoes to court on behalf of people,
specific victims being targeted by the government, by state governments, federal government,
and they defend and they usually winjudicial watch fights on behalf of the American

(37:37):
people as a group. And TomFitten updated something that was fascinating here.
The first post came back in Aprilwhen Tom Fitton said the Department of Justice
is trying to forum shop in orderto rig a lawsuit filed by Ashley Babbitt's

(38:00):
family over her killing on January sixth. The request for a change of venue
is clearly influenced by defendant's strongest motivationfor changing venue. And what that let
me boil it down. We've talkedabout Ashley Babbitt being shot and killed on
January sixth, and she was shewas murdered. The officer that fired the

(38:25):
shots. I've watched the video.He did not give any warning, She
had no weapon in her hands,she posed no immediate threat in any way,
shape or form. He shot andkilled her. Any other police officer
would be standing trial, they wouldnot file charges. In fact, they

(38:49):
gave him a promotion, and sothe family suing the Biden administration. Well,
guess what a federal court granted achange of venue in the wrongful death
lawsuit. It's been moved from SanDiego, the home of Ashley Babbitt,
to Washington, d c. Andassigned to Judge Gia Cobb, who was

(39:09):
appointed to the bench by Biden intwenty twenty one. How many change of
venue requests have been given the Januarysixth defendants, You're right, none.
It would seem that Democrats can pickany venue they want when they run the

(39:34):
federal government. Not a single defendanthas been treated fairly that has been charged
in January sixth. Supreme Court makinga huge decision by the end of the
week on one case in particular thatwill impact perhaps hundreds. But this is

(39:55):
another indication of the rigged justices thatwe have right now in our country,
because of Democrats, because of JoeBiden, because of corrupt officials like Merrick
Garland, and remember Barack Obama wantedhim to be a Supreme Court justice.

(40:15):
About the only useful thing Mitch McConnellever did was keep that from happening.
But they're giving a change of venue. They're going to move this lawsuit to
Washington, DC, seventeen minutes pastthe hour, we come back, share
a little bit of my time offFLA at WFLA fam dot com, on

(40:38):
your phone with the iHeartRadio app,and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
Google Home, Xbox, and Sonosand Iheart's radio station. All right,

(40:58):
twenty two past the hour. LastWednesday was a company holiday. My Heart
recognizes Juneteenth, and so what Itry to do is when there is a
company holiday, I try to parlaythat into a longer holiday for me because

(41:21):
I have quite a bit of timethat I am afforded. I'm very fortunate
to have worked with this company forso many years that I have quite a
bit of vacation time every year thatI have to use. I can't carry
it over. Sick time you carryover the vacation time, you cannot.
And so I take my time atChristmas. As you well know, every

(41:46):
year, I've taken quite a bitof time at Christmas. It's just a
it's a thing that I do iscelebrate time with my family, especially with
my sweet wife, and we celebrateour anniversary. And yeah, so there's
still quite a bit of other timeon top of the company holidays. So

(42:07):
I played a little bit of golf. In fact, I played quite a
bit of golf. I played Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Friday. Played with
a couple of kids that play onthe FSU football team. Coach in orvel
getting members of the team out intothe community doing the things that they like
with people in the community that enjoythose same things, whether it's fishing or

(42:27):
hunting or playing golf or whatever.So several of the football players came out.
I think almost all the quarterbacks werethere. It didn't surprise me one
bit. But played with played witha couple of kids that were just delightful
with a buddy of mine who's avery good player, Wayne Mayo of Southern
Standard contruct Construction. He owns ownsthe company. He's delightful guy, loves

(42:51):
Jesus and very good player. Butyou know, did some work in the
yard, got just just kind ofjust you know, celebrated my granddaughter's birthday,
which happened to be on my birthday, but we'd already celebrated mine with
the family, and so my wifeand I just did a little celebration on

(43:14):
our own and just kind of hungout and watched some TV and just yeah,
just chilled. And my wife wasoutside and enjoying the backyard, enjoying
a little time in the pool,and all of a sudden just said,
I have to I had to comein. I looked at her and she
said, someone's smoking weed, andshe's my wife is an asthmatic, And

(43:38):
yeah, that's that's a no go. And it got me thinking the legalized
marijuana Amendment. We're gonna probably seeit legalized, and it's a it's a
terrible mistake. And I'm about tomake some of you mad. And honestly,
I really I don't want you madat me, but I don't care.

(44:00):
You know, I try to bevery considered of other people, and
I may fail at that at times, but I don't certainly intentionally fail.
But weed smokers, you don't getit smoking outside, smoking in your home,

(44:27):
and the presence of your children.First, you're gonna hurt your children.
I printed one study. I've gotseveral that show secondhand smoke is damaging
to the people around it, especiallychildren, for people with breathing issues,

(44:50):
lung conditions, what have you.Yeah, it's a huge problem and it's
not fair. I don't know howelse to put it. It's just not
fair. It's inconsiderate. So I'mjust asking you to think about other people.
First. Well, I have aright to smoke. Well, we'll
see. I don't think you shouldhave the right to smoke outside and ruin

(45:15):
other people. Because we're not talkingabout you know, roast and some marshmallows
in the backyard. We're talking aboutsmoking weed, which is a product that
is dangerous. It is a gatewaydrug. Is it as bad as alcohol?
No, it's not as bad asalcohol, but it's a gateway drug.
It is just is Sorry you don'tthink it is, You're wrong.

(45:38):
It is. And so I'm hopingthat the legislature will respond by saying,
you know, yeah, you can'tpollute other people. You got to smoke
it inside your own home. Andyou can't smoke it inside your own home

(46:00):
if you have miners at home.Because it is statistic. It is.
It is demonstrated over and over again. Science has proven it. It hurts
children, It hurts the development oftheir brain. So I hope the legislature
does something about it. Again.I just I can't get my brain around

(46:21):
how inconsiderate people are with that stuff. Man, if you want to smoke
it cool. Do your thing.I think it's you're just foolish to do
it. But do it inside yourhome. Don't ruin other people's, you
know, enjoyment of being in theiryard. It's all. That's it,
It's all I got. Twenty eightafter the hour back with the Big Stories

(46:42):
in the press Box. Aren't youglad that wasn't one of them? Thing
Show with Preston Scott Hello, Helloanybody? Oh hily on News Radio one
hundred point seven. Doubufla Big Storiesin the press Box brought to you by

(47:05):
GROBA Creative Marketing and digital Expertise.State workers rejoice, you have an extra
day off next week, not justThursday, for fourth of July. You
are off on Friday. Thank you, Governor Ron de Santas. If you're

(47:29):
a state worker, governor said yes, go ahead, let's take the extra
day. That's one big story.The other big story not so good.
Have you lost track? Ruby GarciaLake and Riley Rachel Morin among the many

(48:02):
young women murdered by illegal criminals thatJoe Biden has allowed into the southern border,
and they have the gall to sayat their press conferences. No president

(48:23):
has done more to address border security. This has to stop. A twelve
year old little girl, and thisis a story that that hammers home a

(48:50):
couple of points. Number one,the southern border. She was murdered by
two illegals, likely from Venezuela,that were caught at the border and released.
You'll you'll have a court appearance later. They followed this little girl into

(49:15):
a convenience store, lured her undera bridge, and murdered her, probably
with do you want to smoke ajoint? Probably with do you want to
have a drink? Do you wantto have a beer? Whatever? They
strangled her after they sexually assaulted her. It's a capital crime. They're both

(49:38):
facing the death penalty. Twelve yearold girl, another murder victim because of
illegals. But here's the other sideof this story, and this is the
one that if we have young peoplelistening. Parents, this is what you

(50:02):
tell your children. This is whyyou don't sneak out at night. That's
why you don't do these things.This little girl, Joscelyn Hungry, hung
Nungry, Sorry, made a mistake. When you make them certain mistakes at

(50:25):
certain times in certain places, youdon't get doovers. It's not like an
argument at a at a sandbox orin the playground. This is where evil
people are in our country. They'relooking for opportunities. And this is why

(50:46):
young people, you don't sneak outof your parents' home. This is why
you don't do stupid things like that, because you may not ever get the
chance. What do you think thisgirl was thinking, just at that moment
when she realized she made a mistake, that these men were not interested in

(51:09):
being a friend. They're going tosexually assault her and then murder her.
This is the fault of Joe Biden, and this is the fault of Democrats.
They've done the calculation, collateral damage, like young Joscelyn, like these

(51:30):
other examples that we've mentioned in thecountless others we have not that's collateral damage.
That's worth it to get illegals intothis country so they could try to
vote. That's the calculation. That'swhat Democrats and this president are doing.
That's why they don't have much tosay. Forty one minutes after the hour,

(51:54):
more big stories next in the MorningShow with Preston Scott of doing morning
drive radio differently, doing it hisway like old Blue Eyes, except he
has a little more hair. TheMorning Show with Preston Scott more big stories.

(52:24):
Sadly, closer to home, atleast six visitors to Florida died in
rip currents last year. More thanthirty died along the coast of the Sunshine
State, half along the Florida Panhandle. The span of two days. At

(52:51):
least six died over the last weekend. Fatalities reported along Hutchet Island on the
Treasure Coast, along with Panama CityBeach and the Panhandle. Rip current threats
continue. All of the victims wereout of state. This is a common

(53:15):
thread. This is I just itfrustrates me because all of us who live
here, I hope know to tellvisitors, But sadly, I know for
a fact that not all visitors listen. They don't pay attention. Friday,

(53:43):
a group of men between the agesof twenty four twenty five vanished in rough
surf, triggering a rescue effort inBay County. Sheriff's office made the announcements
that all the victims had been locatedbut had passed away from their injuries.

(54:04):
Young men who I will assume wererelatively healthy. Were they drunk, maybe
don't know. Are they high?I don't know? I don't know.
What I know is that there areflags that tell you don't go in the
water. Red is hazardous, doublered, beach closed, purple, marine,

(54:30):
life, sharks, jellyfish, whateverit might be. My concerns come
to beaches where there may not beflags or lifeguards call no before you get

(54:52):
in the water. Second story issomewhat similar in that it's avoidable, but
in this case it's a tesla ladyin Arizona and Scottsdale. Her battery died
after she had gotten out of thecar. She was getting in to get
her She was going to get hergranddaughter out of the car. The battery

(55:13):
died. She couldn't get in hertesla. If you're inside your tesla and
the battery is dead, there's alittle manual lever that unlatches the door when
you're outside. That's a whole nothermatter. And very few people know how
to do the wiring and know howto basically charge the system enough to allow

(55:34):
it to open back up. Justanother short fall of evs. They managed
to get the little girl, littlethree year old two year old granddaughter out
safely by breaking into the car throughthe windows. You can't break into a
Tesla the way you can get intomost cars. But happy end, but

(56:00):
a sober warning. So just rememberit's hot. If you've got an EV,
you better darn well know the situation. In this case, Tesla confirmed
the warning system that should have toldthe grandma that her battery was low did
not operate properly. Oops. Comingup to forty seven minutes after the hour,

(56:27):
we come back, Little Sons ofThunder segment on The Morning Show Show
with Preston Scott. Does Mother NoYou Wear her drepe on News Radio one
hundred point SEVENUFLA. Coming up nexthour, Professor Michael Erman, founder of

(56:55):
something called the Olive Book. Itis an online ed tech platform providing SAT
test prep tools and courses for elearning. And we're going to basically talk
about ways to help your high schoolersand middle schoolers to a certain extent,

(57:20):
avoid what's called summer brain drain.Now, I am going to ask him
his thoughts on year round school becauseI just I still believe going back to
my days as as as president ofa private school, just observing because I'm

(57:40):
you know, I wasn't an educationalexpert by any means, but we hired
people that were and of course,my wife has her master's in education as
an educator and a researcher, areading researcher, and so I've over the
years just it's a subject that Icare out, have always cared about,

(58:04):
and I've read an awful lot aboutand so I'm fascinated by the subject.
And I also believe that it sortof falls into that responsibility that we have
here on the program to use theplatform for good purposes for you as parents,
to help your kids. And sothat's coming up next hour. Now,

(58:29):
normally we would do a manly minuteon Tuesday, but because we did
not have a Monday program, Iwaited, measured, and I decided,
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead anddo the Sons of Thunder segment because this
can apply as a manly minute aswell. We'll just spare you the manly

(58:51):
minute music. Sons of Thunders aboutmen, You guys stepping up to the
plate. If you're going to claimto be a Christian, act like one,
be one, lead like one,and you lead by serving. The
best leaders are servants. It's calledservant leadership. Now, last week I

(59:15):
challenged you on expanding your music tastea little bit. Nothing wrong, with
listening to some secular music. Nothingwrong with it at all. Some of
it is trash, and if youactually listen to the lyrics, you'd go

(59:38):
oh. If you actually read thelyrics of some of the songs, you'd
go oh. Here's why it's importantlisten to what it says here in Luke,
each tree is known by its ownfruit. Figs are not gathered from

(59:59):
thorn bushes, nor grapes picked froma bramble bush. The good person,
out of the good treasure of hisheart, produces good. The evil person,
out of the evil treasure, producesevil. For out of the abundance
of the heart, his mouth speaks. What comes out of your mouth?

(01:00:25):
Are you cussing all the time?Swearing in front of your children, in
front of your spouse? Is thatkind of just how you conduct yourself using
just profanities all the time. Itreveals what's been inputed into your brain and
into your heart, because what's inyour heart comes out of your mouth.

(01:00:46):
That's why the challenge last week topay attention to what is being inputed into
your life. The movies you're watching, the music you're listening to, the
books you read, the things,the kinds of conversations you're taking part of
and party in, because what youtreasure in your heart ends up coming out

(01:01:07):
your mouth. Time for the thirdhour of the Morning Show. Five past
the hour. Good morning Friends,Ruminators, men, women, ladies and

(01:01:30):
gentlemen, Ruminators near and far.It's the third hour of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott Show five thousand,one hundred and eighty three. But who's
counting? That is Jared running theradio program in Studio one A and I
am here in Studio one B.Great to be with you after taking some
time off over the last few days. Delighted to share time once again.

(01:01:53):
And as I told you, oneof the things we like to do here
is you know, twenty two plusyears are doing the program. We try
to make this show a show that'sa safe harbor for parents with their kids.
And now we have kids that aregrown and in college and they have
kids and they listen to this showwhen they were young. We try to

(01:02:15):
make this a program that not onlydiscusses the things that are in the news,
but things that can improve your life, the life of your family,
the life of your children that wouldbe helpful. And this is a topic
that when I saw it. Iwas very intrigued. I shared last hour
my interest in education my wife,of course it's her profession. And I'm

(01:02:37):
joined by college professor Michael Erman.He's the founder of something called the Olive
Book. Professor. How are you? I'm doing really well? How are
you? I'm doing terrific. Tellus about the all of book? What
is that? They? All ofthe book is a digital SACH prep.
So the fake went digital in March, and it's a digital SAT prep that

(01:02:58):
is really for visual learners. Sowe have it's not kind of pixed our
level, but we have animations thatpretty high quality animations that help explain the
answers to the questions. Well,we're pretty much so good good. I
was just gonna say, what whatwhat gave you the idea to do this?
Where? What was the gap theneed that you felt needed to be
filled. I'm an architecture professor atVirginia Tech, and so I kind of

(01:03:22):
come to believe that everybody's a visuallearner and that no one ever looked at
a graph and said, can youput that back into a table of numbers?
So at first that you know,everyone was everyone could say that.
I think I would say you knowarchitecture visual learners. But the more I
kind of looked around and read aboutit, the more I realized that everybody
is. And I have a mathdegree and I've been tutoring maths for I

(01:03:43):
don't know thirty years or so,So between the two I started to combine
those to those two interests. Whatwhat kind of I'm curious before we get
into the summer brain drain, andkind of some tips to help parents and
high schoolers, maybe even some middleschoolers keep a little bit of it edge
it intellectually as they head to thenext school year. I'm just fascinated.

(01:04:03):
What was the reaction you got?What are you seeing that is showing you
that your method of helping people inthis format is working. It's a great
question, and it's kind of achallenge, frankly for anyone who's creating asynchronous
online content. So it's you know, students can kind of log in.

(01:04:24):
It's not really me talking to themin any kind of direct way. It's
usually most of the feedback comes byemail and people will say, oh,
this is really helpful. But therewas nothing specifically before I started that led
it to it. I mean,I did have a I did have a
I have a history of kind ofmaking other types of courses in visual ways,
and I've been pretty successful on YouTube. I think I have maybe eight

(01:04:46):
or nine million views now on myYouTube channel, and uh, just kind
of explaining things in visual ways seemsto be something that people crave. But
I don't know, I don't knowof a way to measure it too carefully.
Did you do you generally get feedbackfrom parents or from young people that
are actually engaged in the content.Uh, probably about half and half,

(01:05:11):
although there's a surprising number of grandparentsout there as well that I did not
count on when I started this.It's generally, it seems like the people
this is a this is a realchallenge for anyone who's in this space is
a the people, the people usingthe course of the students, right,
and the people buying the course andkind of selecting the course of the parents
and so generally, so it's notenough. It's not enough just to kind

(01:05:38):
of attack attack one or the other. You kind of have to talk to
both groups at the same time.The students get it, I think they
would, you know, they're verycomfortable learning online. The parents maybe are
used to some of the more oldfashioned sources for for test some of the
names that they had when they werea kid, they feel might be more
comfortable. And I understand that tooas a parent of a student who's taking

(01:06:00):
me right now himself. Professor MichaelErman with us, founder of the Olive
Book in fact online you can findit at Olive dashbook dot com. Talk
a little bit more about that,also get into some strategies for you as
parents, for some of you youngpeople. I know I've got young people
listening to the program. It's aftereight a m. Eastern because a few

(01:06:23):
of you wake it up and you'rejoining us this morning morning. Come here
in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. D from The Spin, Don't Know
what to Believe? Clear the FogThe Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven w FLA. Levin passed the hour with Professor Michael

(01:06:51):
Erman. The Olive Book, OliveDashbook dot com. It's sat prep test
prep stuff. Professor. I'm curious. I mean, there's a part of
me that says, Okay, akid that's gonna gonna go online and going
to go this route. They're they'realready they're thinking ahead, they're probably going

(01:07:11):
to be a better student. Butthere's still this part of me that that
knows based on what the colleges andthe state colleges, community colleges are telling
us, they're spending more and moretime doing remedial teaching before they can advance
these kids into real college coursework.I'm curious, have you had to take
that into account with your with yourolive book, that more kids might need

(01:07:35):
a little boosting on the stuff theyshould have learned early in high school,
maybe even middle school. Yeah,I mean, there's there's probably three sides
to this. So one is youtouched on something that is oftentimes is something
they did do really quite well inmiddle school. Maybe they're an advanced kid
and they learned mediums when they werein eighth grade, but now they're in
eleventh grade and they need to knowmediums for the SAT and it's been three

(01:07:57):
years, and if they had aneven number of you know, number of
numbers, and they're trying to figureout, well, what's the media if
it's you know, one, two, three, four, what's the medium
of one, two, three andfour? And so part of it is
just kind of natural forgetting and that'sactually probably more of a problem for the
advanced kids, just because they coveredsome of the material that they need a
little bit earlier. So that's oneside of it. One side of it

(01:08:19):
is I think probably the r sweetspot is a kid who maybe is an
eleven hundred and something scorer and wantsto get in the thirteen hundreds. That's
that's probably the you know, thekid who's a thirteen to fifty scorer and
wants to get in the fifteen hundreds. She's probably somebody who once she sees
the answer right away, she's like, right, that's what I did wrong,

(01:08:42):
and doesn't really maybe need as muchof the animations. But also,
you know, I want to pushback a little bit on the idea,
at least my experience. Based onmy experience, I've been teaching architecture students
at Virginia Tech where I'm a professor, for twenty three years, and I
really haven't seeing the kind of remedialproblem. In fact, if anything,
the students seem to get smarter eachyear. Hmm. A lot of a

(01:09:05):
lot of the kind of conventional wisdomthat you know I argue with my friends
about. They say, oh,you know, it's kind of see that
old man thing when they say,oh, you know, kids today,
and I'm like, man, aren'tthey amazing? And They're like, no,
they you know, they're they're they're, they're they're you know, I'm
having to teach them everything that theyshould have known, and I think a
lot of us forgot how little weknew when we first started whatever it was
we were starting. So I yeah, so I'm a little bit more probably

(01:09:30):
of a defender of this generation ofstudents. Maybe it's partly because of the
types of students I work with.Maybe I'm just lucky. Yeah, I
would. I would probably guess that, you know, someone that's going into
architecture is probably sort of like someonethat's going in engineering in general. You
know, it's just it's a differentkind of kid and they're just wired a
little bit differently. But that said, talking to masses right now, you

(01:09:54):
know, we hear about summer braindrain. I'm a fan of of schools,
considering year round school where they takethree week breaks and there's not this
long gap. I think there area lot of reasons to think about it.
But we're we're where we are.So what are some tips that you
would give parents and young people tokind of keep their brain sharp over the

(01:10:14):
summertime months. Yeah, I meangenerally, and this is across all races,
classes, genders, and so forth. We lose about a month during
the summer of progress, you know, and everything. And so insofar as
you kind of have time now orsome of some of your listeners have kids
who have time, there are probablyfour things I would focus on. The

(01:10:38):
first is curiosity. Uh. There'snothing that I've seen in my teaching that's
more closely correlated to success in college, uh than just someone who's curious.
I'll take the curious kid over anyother quality every time. And it's just
so easy now to look something upcompared to what it had been. So
kind of living a curious life.If you, you know, see something

(01:10:59):
on a you know, some historicalreference on social media, you want to
look up that seventeenth century figure beingquoted, and you want to do it
right away because you won't remember tolook it up later or you won't care.
But importantly, curiosity kind of compoundsover time, so you get more
and more content. The more contentyou have, the more content you know.
And I'm sure you deal with thisin your line of work. You
probably just probably all kinds of thingsyou learn just kind of interviewing people.

(01:11:24):
But if you treat not knowing somethinglike an itch that has to be stretched,
the whole thing starts to snowball inthe good direction, where each new
concept is a bit easier and abit stickier with all the kind of you
know, the knowledge of the otherconcepts that start subscribing. So the first
is curiosity, I think is agood thing to have, frankly for anything.
The second is maybe create something right, so you know, read a

(01:11:47):
blog, code design of you know, if you're kind of a coder,
start coding. If you want tolearn how to change your car headlamp,
change your car headlamp as or thingsyou can also maybe do with a parent,
right, so you can you canplan a vacation with a parent,
you can do an exercise regiment witha parent. And that brings me to

(01:12:08):
number three. Heng on a second, Professor, we got to take a
quick break. We're going to pickup on point three and four. Connect
some dots together, because that's whatwe do around here. Seventeen minutes past
the hour with me, Professor MichaelErman with Virginia Tech University, and it's
the Olive Book. It's online OliveDashbook dot com. More on the Morning

(01:12:29):
Show with Preston Scott f La onyour phone with the iHeartRadio app and on
hundreds of devices like Alexa, GoogleHome, Xbox and Sonos and Ihearts radio
station. It's an online at techplatform that's pretty innovative. It's the Olive
Book and you can find it foryourself, for your children, your kids,

(01:12:53):
your youngsters Olive Dashbook dot com.It's designed for SAT prep, test
prep, and so for the olderkids primarily. And with us is a
college professor from Virginia Tech, MichaelErman, professor. You mentioned you said
the word memory and that it kindof stirred something in me. In this
day and age of people with theirphones and they've got an entire phone book

(01:13:15):
as well as an entire library andtheir phone and then some it occurs to
me that we're challenged these days withmemory. We don't remember phone numbers because
we got them in our phone.How much does that play a role in
how you've set up even the OliveBook and what you observe in your students.
The memory is a huge part oftest PRAF. It's kind of maybe

(01:13:36):
not talked about as much as maybeit could be. And generally the research
on memory is shockingly new. Imean they only started really looking at how
we learned maybe one hundred years ago, and really in earnest started looking at
it maybe in the eighties. Andwhat they found is, well, it's
a bunch of things, and allof them will kind of surprise you,
but none of them will at thesame time. So one is that it

(01:13:58):
turns out our brains are capable ofof capable of kind of processing just about
everything. It's in terms of exposure, but it's the recall that turns out
to be the weak link. Sobut the good news is that recall is
a bit like a muscle. Sothe more you work on practicing remembering things,
the more you're likely to remember something. And so generally what we want

(01:14:20):
to do is we want to remembertry to remember something just before we would
have forgotten it anyway. So ifyou're learning, for instance, to play
something on the piano, if youkind of memorize it today and then tomorrow
just about the time you would haveforgotten it, you show do it again
and then again in about a week, and again in about a month,
and again in about a year,you'll have it forever. So that is
one of the kind of embracing thedoubt that comes from really trying to figure

(01:14:43):
something out and really kind of workinghard. That's why, that's why flashcards
work so much better than highlighting ina book in terms of in terms of
how the course itself tackles that wegenerally we generally try to repeat things that
need to be repeated, but ina different way. Right, So it's
called spiral learning. So you kindof cover a topic and then maybe you

(01:15:08):
go a little bit and then youcover a topic again. Because very practice
makes for better learning and for bettermemory. So if, for instance,
they found that if they give kidswhen they're teaching kids division, if they
give them multiplication and division in theirworksheets, not just division, they'll do
better than if they just give themdivisions. Because we kind of approach things

(01:15:30):
from different sides. Yeah, youmentioned two things that would be useful to
help a kid keep their brainal edgefor the summer. For lack of a
better way of putting it, giveus the final two. Yeah, the
first one was curiosity, the secondone was to create. The final two
is you know exercise. I hearda radio show where the interviewer kept saying,

(01:15:55):
so, what's best for you forhelping us with with learning and with
memory? And the experts at exerciseand the interviewers to do Yeah, but
like sudoku or exercise, and theywere talking past each other. And there's
really no better way to sharpen yourbrain than physical exercise. It's better than

(01:16:17):
puzzles, it's better than way betterthan listening to classical music. And nothing
really comes close to physical exercise.And finally, just reading. And I
was not a reader until I wasan adult. Uh, my wife TV
in the bedroom, and so Istarted reading. And just the act of
reading is also a bit like amuscle, where the more you read,

(01:16:38):
the easier it gets, the better, the better you comprehend something. And
there's really nothing better for reading comprehensionthan actually reading. And if you are
an STPH or a CP, becauseyou guys are going to tell Hasse uh
test taker, Uh, the bestthing you could probably do right now is
to just start reading every night abit. Tell me where people can find

over the years, just doing greatthings. I could not be more proud

(01:19:06):
of the many producers of this programthat have gone on to just kill it.
And it's really just a joy inthat regard. I kind of feel
like that, you know, thatcoach in school that just encouraged and nudged

(01:19:27):

opportunity to work with. So it'sgood to have jer Own back on the

Busy Man is an entertainment editor forBreitbart, one of, if not

(01:19:48):
the most conservative news websites out therethat in terms of business, visitors,
and views, just huge audience.Big stories in the press Box brought to
you by Grove of Creative Marketing andDigital expertise headlines six visitors. At least

(01:20:09):
six killed in Florida over the lastfew days as rip currents take lives because
people from out of state don't knowwhat to do. It is your job
to inform. Do not think thatyou're insulting them by saying, hey,
pay attention to the flags. Ifyou don't see flags, call find out

(01:20:30):
the surf conditions, call the sheriff'soffice, in the beat, in the
county you're in, Do whatever youneed to do, because we're seeing people
die needlessly, people out in thewater in red flag waters, and it's
it's just it's foolishness. Tesla lockedup grandchild locked inside hot conditions in Scottsdale.

(01:20:58):
The child is fine. Firefighters gotthe kid out, but the tesla
has a problem. In this case, the battery warnings that it's going out
didn't work. Tesla confirmed that itwasn't her word. They confirmed it yeat.
The alerts didn't happen, and soshe got out, shut the door,
went to get her grandchild out andthe doors were locked. She went

(01:21:24):
around to the other side. Thatkind of it just anyway, more indications
at evs are just not there.White House Biden they got nothing to say.
Another child twelve years old murdered byundocumented migrants otherwise known as the illegal
aliens, people that broke into thiscountry and the Biden administration makes it easy

(01:21:45):
for them to stay here, andso we have another victim. It seems
as though it's acceptable collateral damage toDemocrats to get more votes from legal immigrants,
just saying. And it appears asthough we're slowly being edged into World

(01:22:08):
War three because Russia is not realhappy that our missiles were used at targeting
what it considers its property. It'speople, it's land, it's cities,
and we're being bullied by Biden becausehe owes Ukraine. Forty minutes past the

(01:22:29):
hour, money talk is on deck. We move on here in The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Where youmay be from Florida, Sunshine State to
New York's. Forget New York,scratch that New York's now hopeless. At
least the city is for the rest. We're your Morning Show, The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Time fora little money talk with investment advisor Howard

(01:22:58):
Eisman with Enhanced financial service, securitiesand advisory services offered through NBC Securities Inc.
Member Finra and SIPC. NBC SecuritiesInc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary
of RBC Bank USA. The apngeonsexpressed are not those of NBC Securities Inc.
Or iHeartMedia. In inappropriate matters,seek professional tax and our legal advice.

(01:23:28):
Howard. Housing is always an interestingindicator of what's going on in the
economy. But housing is weird rightnow nationally, Yeah, it really is.
Preston Own prices continue to hang rightin there at Historichive building continues,

(01:23:49):
particularly in the new home area,but there's a big backlog of new homes.
The most recent estimate the US CensusBureau indicates that the backlog is just
over nine months of unsold homes.And historically, though Preston, that backlog

(01:24:12):
typically averages three to four months.And the key indicator to me in a
chart and data I've recently spotted isthat when it gets to nine months,
historically that kind of backlog has precededeconomic slowdowns and recessions in a pretty consistent

(01:24:32):
way. So something to continue topay close attention to. Would it be
fair to say that we're kind ofat a stalemate where though there are five
million you know, kind of householdsthat need housing. Yep, they cannot
afford the mortgage rates and the pricesthat are being demanded right now, and

(01:24:53):
so we're at we're kind of ata stalemate. Absolutely, high prices,
high mortgage rates act as a aheadwind for home sale. So one hundred
percent on target there. So let'ssee how all this plays out in the
coming months and in the next yearor so. We've certainly seen it here

(01:25:13):
in Florida. The governor paid agreat deal of attention to it over his
last six years in office. Itseems as though more and more young people
are are going away from the traditionalcollege route and looking at vocational options precisely,
and I see that as a veryencouraging sign. Student enrollment preston in

(01:25:34):
vocational colleges this past year actually rosesixteen percent. Wow. Yeah, and
that compared to growth of just underone percent increase in all four year colleges
and universities. So the other interestingpart of that taking it the next step

(01:25:56):
when that person finishes his vocational youknow, career if you will. Median
starting annual pay for instance, justin the construction industry alone this past year
was up five percent compensation of overforty eight thousand and pressing that compared to

(01:26:18):
an increase in pay of just twopoint seven percent or thirty nine thousand for
new hires and all the quote unquoteprofessional services. There are indexes all over,
and it appears as though there's anotherone that we're developing, and it's
the price of milk, well,the price of food in most things that

(01:26:41):
we buy at the store, right, but well, we'll focus on milk
today. So milk prices this pastmonth, good news, actually fell a
little bit, but they're still upa little over two, you know,
two percent in the past year.When we look at it longer term,
and I think obviously folks look atprices at the grocery store as to okay,

(01:27:05):
how much did I just pay it, you know when I hit the
checkout line yesterday. But a gallonof milk has the cost of it has
risen about thirty six percent over thelast twenty years. Yeah, so twenty
years ago, looking at two dollarsand ninety five cents to pick up that

(01:27:26):
gallon of milk, at the endof last year four dollars, and I
just checked, I think the pricetoday somewhere in the neighborhood of three dollars
and ninety five cents. That's dependingon where you shop, of course.
Wow yeah, now, Howard,thanks so much. I always appreciate the
data, and we'll talk again ina couple of weeks. Look forward to

(01:27:46):
Preston. Have a good rest ofthe week. So thank you, sir,
Howard Eisman with us this morning herein the Morning Show with Preston Scott
Housing. What a pnundrum forty sixpast the hour. Well, many of

(01:28:11):
you will be very relieved to knowthat I found twelve yards yesterday and the
driving range that went missing. Iwas nuts. I was being driven nuts.
Played seven a legacy with some friendswith a buddy of mine on Friday,

(01:28:32):
Wayne Mayo. Wayne may not wantme to announce that he and I
are friends, but we have beenfriends for a long time. But played
with some of the FSU guys andsome other other folks. And the golf
course is just if you've never gottena chance to play, it's a remarkable
golf course. Greens were rolling twelveor thirteen on the stimpmeter, which means

(01:28:56):
they're fast and course knowledge is everything. But I was just I played a
pretty good front nine and the backnine. I just got so frustrated with
myself because I was just I was. I lost twelve yards and I have
been losing twelve yards. And theeasy answer is, well, you're getting

(01:29:17):
older, Preston. Look, Iunderstand all of the mechanisms of the golf
swing quite well, and I understandthe role that age plays in all of
that. And I know that myswing speed will never be what it was
when I was younger. I getthat. I'm fine with that, but

(01:29:38):
I'm not prepared to lose the twelveyards the way that I've lost them.
And so I felt as though therewas something I needed to address in how
I was hitting the golf ball,because when I would hit it very well,
I was actually lofting the golf clubversus delfting the golf club, which
is what you want to do.That's called compressing the golf ball. And

(01:30:00):
so I spent some time on therange yesterday morning, very early in the
morning, and found twelve yards,and so I was very happy about that.
Now I have to find those twelveyards more consistently. I've found them
on about sixty five percent of myswings, not ninety percent. And I
have a personal rule I have aninety percent rule when I transition and make

(01:30:23):
changes in my golf swing. Soanyway, just saying I've found twelve yards,
Can I keep them? That remainsto be seen. But those twelve
yards matter and if you play golf, you know exactly what I mean.
They matter a lot. And soyeah, anyway, real quickly here before

(01:30:45):
we go tomorrow, Jerome Hudson,Florida, Man Factor Fiction and we're expecting
some significant Supreme Court rulings this week. They'll start rolling out anytime now.
And so there are at least sixor seven huge cases that are going to
be decided, and so we'll bekeeping an eye out for that as well.
Brought to you by Barno Heating andAir. It's the Morning Show one

(01:31:11):
on WFLA. Started the radio programwith Isaiah fifty three, verse six,
and then we went a little deeperdive in our Sons of Thunder segment,
which replaced the Manly Minute today justtoday normally it's a Monday, but anyway,
and so some good stuff there tokind of nudge especially you guys a

(01:31:36):
little bit in your faith. Anduh, the mindset is if you're going
to call yourself a Christian Act likeone b one. There you go,
big stories in the press box.Are we being bullied into World War three?
It seems we're getting closer and closerto it. At least six visitors

(01:31:57):
killed in Florida's dangerous rip currents persist, and people continue to not know,
understand, or believe the warnings,and so if they're If you have out
of state visitors, it's on youto teach them. We're doing all we
can. Tesla has some problems whenthe battery runs out. Make sure you're

(01:32:18):
you're aware of what to do soyou don't trap a child in a hot
car. White House got nothing tosay about a twelve year old girl,
the latest victim of illegal immigration,murdered by two immigrants allegedly from Venezuela that
were allowed in just a few weeksago change a venue for the Biden administration.

(01:32:40):
They're being sued over the death ofAshley Babbitt. They allowed that one
to get moved to Washington, dC. From San Diego. No way,
and secondhand marijuana is bad. Secondhandsmoke is bad. Just saying
