When the cat is away, the mice will play good
Morning and Welcome to the Morning Show. Without Preston Scott.
I'm Grant Allan filling in for Preston. I know it's
been a long time since I've been in studio, and
in fact, I was thinking about it. This is actually
the first time I've been back in studio since Hurricane

(00:33):
Helene coverage. So it's good to be back. We've got
tons of stuff to cover today. I have so many
thoughts because it's not like we've had any important events
in you know, American and world history that have taken
place since I was here. There's nothing really much to
talk about, you know. But Jose is over there in

(00:55):
Studio one A. I'm in Studio one B, and our
verse of the day is John seventeen seventeen. Now this
is from famously Christ's High priestly Prayer where he goes
on to say, you know, Father, the hours come, glorify
your son, that the son may glorify you. And he
continues on and eventually gets to this portion verse seventeen,

(01:19):
sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth. So
it's interesting here I'd have to pull out the Greek
lexicon to see if there's some overlap here. But when
he says your word is truth, he's probably referencing what
would eventually become we know, the words of Holy Scripture
being the guide for Christians around the globe, but that

(01:43):
the word Christ himself is the Logos made flesh, and
he is truth. As the beginning of the Book of
John says, in the beginning was the Word, and the
word was with God, that is Christ. And so what's
this word sanctify mean? Sanctify is just the day in,
day out, constant, just dealing with mortification of our sin,

(02:09):
Christ continuing to guide all that we do. Sanctifying is,
you know, like the concupiscence, the desire for sin, sin itself,
all of these things eventually dim in our lives. They
never go away. We never achieve actual perfection in the
flesh this side of eternity. But those things that were

(02:31):
once enslaving you, you don't. You no longer have to
be enslaved to. Christ is sanctifying you by purging the
dross of sin from your life. So we've got a
long way to go. There's a little bit of encouragement.
That's the six seventeen sixty three segment and God Bless
America from John Wayne. Of course, it's gonna be a

(02:54):
fun day. Jose over there, I'm Grant Alan. Good to
be back, and it's the morning show here on one
hundred point seven of WFLA. I think I forgot to

(03:17):
mention it already in my first segment. I'm just getting
back into seventh. Give me a little grace. I appreciate
that it's Monday, November eighteenth, in the Year of Our
Lord twenty twenty four. It's Grant episode number eight and
day thirteen ninety four of America held hostage there. I
got it out of the way. I yeah, it's just

(03:38):
been a while since I've been in here. I'm Jose.
You have a good weekend? Anything in particular to report?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
It was a blessed weekend, Sir. I actually went and
visited Miss Nellie at her restaurant in Panama City and
it was EXCELLENTE.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Shout out to Miss Nelly.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Sounds good, great, Yeah, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Jose has been, you know, obviously gracious in still coming
in and allowing me the opportunity to host the show.
So I appreciate Jose being here as well.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's an honor of a pleasure.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I knew you were going to say that this day
in history for November eighteenth, let's see on this day.
In eighteen eighty nine, the United States Navy launched the
battleship the USS Maine at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. However,
the ship's beginning would turn out to be not nearly
as famous as its ending, an explosion that sent it

(04:33):
to the bottom of Havana's harbor in eighteen ninety eight,
triggering the Spanish American War and giving rise to the
slogan Remember the Main, not to be confused with Remember
the Alamo, although Remember the Main seems like it's, you know,
an equally important phrase that we ought to remember. The
Main was one of several battleships named after states. Over time,
the US Navy has developed a system for naming their vessels.

(04:57):
Like aircraft, carriers are named for named after people like
the Abraham Lincoln the Ronald Reagan. Destroyers are named after
naval leaders and heroes, such as the Farragut and the
John Paul Jones, and attacks. Submarines are named after cities
like the Los Angeles in the Norfolk or the Virginia
in the Texas, so very very interesting. Other traditions include

(05:21):
Countermeasureships are given names representing strength and defense, like the
Avenger in the Guardian. Hospital. Ships are given names indicating care,
like the Comfort and the Mercy. So those are that's
pretty cool. You've kind of got names that are, i
don't know, pretty on brand for the purpose of the
naval vessel. So that's pretty cool. Other American history news.

(05:44):
This day in eighteen twenty, Captain Nathaniel Palmer becomes the
first American to cite Antarctica. That's cool. Probably brutal. How
do you even like discover that or like get that
in sight? You know, Yeah, there's this massive block of
ice down there. Let's go check it out, Okay. On

(06:07):
this day in eighteen seventy two, Susan B. Anthony is
arrested in Rochester for trying to vote in a presidential election. Interesting.
In eighteen eighty three, at the urging of the railroads,
the United States is divided into time zones. Isn't that crazy,
like to think like something that we just assume is
so commonplace, like a time zone, right, but there was

(06:28):
like if they're not so distant past, where that wasn't
a thing like we just fell back, you know, from
daylight savings time now back to standard time, and there
was a time we didn't do that. That's so it
it's so part of our clockwork now as people, as
particularly Americans, and we just think it's normal. But there
wasn't a time when that was normal. Eighteen eighty nine,

(06:51):
the Battleship Main as we just said, and in nineteen
twenty eight, Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon with sound,
premieres classic classic. I was just lamenting again yesterday. I
long for in America where I could feel comfortable, like
taking my children to a place like Disney, so rather

(07:14):
than and to be comfortable right instead of me feeling
like I have to shield my children's eyes all day long.
I don't particularly want to do that all day long
at a park. That doesn't sound so great. But we
are fifteen sixteen minutes after the hour. We got more
coming up on the morning.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
We had a number of fights over the weekend that
I'm looking up at the TV here. Trump went to
the UFC fights on Saturday night and saw Joe Rogan
and they looked like, Bros. Did you see any of
those clips of like Trump and Elon Musk hanging out.
Like Trump saw something cool and he just like smacked

(08:01):
Elon like on the shoulder, like their best buds. It's hilarious.
They legitimately look best like their best buds, and Elon
is like photo bombing all of their family photos. Now,
Kai Kai Trump Uh, Trump's granddaughter posted I think on
Twitter and Instagram that like Elon is achieving like uncle status.

(08:22):
It's hilarious to watch all of this go down. He said, Wow,
Elon is such a smart guy. It's so funny. I
didn't either. I didn't watch I don't watch UFC fights.
I didn't watch the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight. Did
you watch that, Jose? It was on Netflix, right, h No, sir,

(08:42):
I did not watch it.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I knew it was a publicity stunt for my so
I just just stayed away from it.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean I have no I've never really
gotten into fighting though, any of those fighting sports much,
especially you know, like the boxing was like a classically American,
you know, sport, right like you just think of the
great boxing from previous eras and it's just kind of
morphed now into the MMA. That's that's the big thing now.

(09:12):
And so I just I don't know, I've never never
particularly been interested in it. But those are two big
stories from over the weekend. Another story, this one was
funny to watch. I'm sure Preston probably covered it. And Selzer,
the polster out of Iowa, has announced that she is

(09:33):
retiring and will no longer be in the polster business
after she catastrophically incorrectly guessed that Kamala Harris would take
Iowa by a predictably three points or something like that.
Here's the CNN article, Famed polster and Selzer will end
her election polling operation after her final survey for the

(09:56):
Des Moines Register failed to accurately capture form or President
Donald Trump's strong support. It was a sixteen point miss.
She predicted that Kamala Harris was leading in Iowa forty
seven percent to forty four percent, and Donald Trump eventually
took the state of Iowa fifty six to forty three percent,

(10:19):
a sixteen point swing. That's brutal. So what do we
learn from this. It's the same lesson we learned from
twenty sixteen. I remember saying out loud, I was in
College at the time. To my buddies, I remember saying
out loud like, don't ever believe another poll ever again.

(10:41):
Just know that these pollsters, and in this case Anne Selzer,
who was doing a survey for the Des Moines Register,
what I'm guessing is one of the major, if not
the flagship newspaper there in Des Moines, Iowa, and that
they just pretty much cover water for most of the
leftist naw narratives that the mass media has adopted. Trump

(11:05):
ultimately swept to victory over Harrison State by a thirteen
point margin. Selzer later acknowledged her poll was a big
miss and suggested that her pole might have actually energized
and activated Republican voters who thought they would likely coast
to victory. Okay, I take back everything I just said.
Keep doing what you're doing. We're going to keep winning

(11:26):
if this is what you're up to. Kristen Roberts, chief
content officer at Genet Media, which owns the Des Moines Register,
boy I could have called that one. Told CNN that
the Iowa poll will quote evolve as we find new
ways to accurately capture public sentiment in the pulse of
Iowan's on state and national issues. Our mission is to

(11:48):
provide trusted news and content to our readers in the public. No,
it's not like we know that. That's what they say,
all right, that's the official PR statement. But we know
that's just wildly not true. We know that the media
has had you know, for gosh decades. It was Richard
Nixon who said, like the press is like the enemy

(12:09):
of the people. Like that was what nothing is new
under the sun, and they continue to carry water for
whatever the cultural zeitgeist is that's going on right now,
and for decades it's been the progressive wing of America's
cultural moment, and the media has found an ally in
that so kind of hilarious that Anne Selzer basically got

(12:34):
it so bad. It's like, yeah, you know, I don't
think this is for me anymore. Yeah you think. Prior
to the twenty twenty four survey, the IOWA poll had
been considered by many to be the methodological gold standard.
So is everything else right? Every once vaunted institution that

(12:55):
we as Americans used to trust and we had some
common stake and ownership with, whether it be you know,
your local newspaper, well that was run by someone you
knew whether it be your local, you know, grocery store,
whether it be all of these different institutions that we
once had and were loved. We loved these things, We
cared for them as local members in a community. They've

(13:17):
been seized by combatants, you could say, from the outside,
seeking to overturn our communities from the inside and out.
And and Selzer and carrying water for the left is
just the latest example. Twenty seven minutes after the hour.
I'm Grant Allan filling in for Preston here on the.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Morning Show, The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven Dublin ut LA.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Thirty five minutes after the hour. No, I'm not Preston.
If you're just tuning in, I'm Grant Allen. You may
remember me as producer producer emeritus now is my official title.
But Preston's just enjoying a nice day off. It's it
comes to the end of the year, and you know,
sometimes you gotta you gotta burn some day. So I
had the opportunity to fill in. Jose was nice enough

(14:11):
to still come in today. Shout out Jose. But it's Monday,
November eighteenth, and you can listen in on the iHeart
Radio App. As always, follow us on X the show's
account on x at TMS. Preston Scott find us here
one hundred point seven in Tallahassee, ninety six point three

(14:32):
in Panama City, one A two point five in Panama City,
and if you've got an HD radio, which you may

one ninety two point five WPAP HD two is where
you can find us. Those are all the terrestrial radio stations.
But as always the iHeart Radio App with the iHeart
Radio App podcast section, you won't miss a thing, and

(14:55):
we'll have some you know, some exclusive content coming up
during the December you know month with the twelve days,
so tune in for that. But it's it's been a
fun time. Like I said as I started the show,
it's not like we've had any major political event that's
happened since I was last in in August. Maybe September. No,

(15:15):
now I can't think of one. Jose's coughing from laughing
so much. I thought about donning my Maga hat for
this show, but I opted against it. I didn't need
to get hat hair at six in the morning, five
in the morning. So yes, Donald Trump is victorious. We

(15:36):
know this. The only reason I'm saying it is to
lead up to what the particular facet of the election
that I think was kind of important to point out,
And so we're actually going to travel back in time.
This is actually me talking with Preston from August of
twenty twenty three. I found this in the archives. I

(15:57):
was like, I got to bring this back out because
it proves with the big story in the press box.
Is the way that I was able to describe it,
at least in my head, is that the young guys,
the zoomers, have been so like particularly young males, have
been so maligned that in the public school system there's

(16:21):
this expectation that if you cannot learn by sitting eight
hours a day, there's something wrong with you. That young
males are viewed as defective girls because they don't learn
the same way they've been much maligned, and the same
way that if you happen to come from a conservative background,

(16:42):
same thing you hurt. You hear from your youngest years
that there's something wrong with you, anderthal, there's something wrong
with the sins of your father and your grandfather, your
entire lineage is corrupted with white privilege, racism, it set, etc.
And I think that the young guys are just kind

(17:03):
of like, no, that's exactly what we saw in the
presidential election. So here's an article from the Federalist. PG
Keenan writes, Let's hear it for the straight white boys
who saved us from Kamala Kamala Harris, Like Hillary Clinton
represented the face of the oppressive, suffocating girl boss regime,
and the boys were sick of it. And she states
that young guys eighteen to twenty, the under thirty demographic,

(17:27):
shifted twenty nine points to the right since twenty twenty.
She states, I saw this one coming from a mile away. Boys,
especially straight white ones, who can't claim any special status
as a member of a marginalized or oppressed community or group,
have been cast as the bad guys in the modern world.
And they know it. They know that in truth, they're
the most marginalized group in America. This is from the

(17:51):
Federalist in case you're curious, The headline is, Let's hear
it for the straight white boys who saved us from
Kamala Harris. This is pretty much what I felt on
the ground, me being an under thirty, You know, young guy,
this is how I felt. I looked around at my
peer group. I saw the trends that were all over
the Internet about how just about every young male sphere

(18:16):
is now coded right wing, whether it be the gaming world,
whether it be you know, the the dating world as well.
It's it's like, that's those are the trends, and I
really want to dive into kind of the things that
I mentioned in that old clip a little bit more,
paired with some of the cultural observations that Peeche Keenan
writes here in The Federalists. So that'll that'll be up

(18:39):
after coming up after this break here of the Morning Show.
The reason that young males skewed so far to the

(19:00):
right for Trump and this presidential election is in part
with what Peachy Keenan writes here. This is what the
entire Barbie movie was about. You remember the Barbie movie,
the blockbuster summer hit last year, Ken finding liberation from
his oppressive pink longhouse, discovering how to be a real man,

(19:22):
and then getting his wings clipped again by Boss Barbie,
who makes him take off his cool guy clothes and
start dressing flamboyantly. Since COVID. All the young men started
bringing up this a lot, particularly this being President Trump
and his return to politics. They became based It's in

(19:43):
the water, the online discourse, their friend groups, the Fortnite
group chats, the powerlifting Jim, and even at Catholic mass
they discovered weightlifting. They became keenly aware that the world
right outside our front door, in our deep blue neighborhood,
hates them and all that they are. They lived through
Black Lives Matter and wondered if white lives mattered. They
endured years of movies and cartoons where the hero was

(20:04):
a strong, independent girl boss and the boys were either
idiots or inconsequential. They had to try to ignore Pride
month whenever identity except theirs was celebrated, and wondered when
they were allowed to feel pride about being straight and white?
Can you even imagine? Yeah, that's anathema. But there's a
particular point here that I wanted to bring up as well,

(20:26):
And it was this point that she made about years
of movies and cartoons where the hero was a strong,
independent girl boss. So think for a second of your
favorite sitcoms. When was the last sitcom on major American
television where the dad wasn't a bumbling fool like all
of the dads are. They're never like highly competent providers

(20:50):
for their family. Now that they may do that in
their character, but they don't ever portray the father in
this family sitcom hardly ever, maybe only Last Man Standing,
but even then he kind of Tim Allen's character in
Last Man's Standing was very he I don't know how

(21:10):
to I don't know how to say this quite exactly
how I'd like to. It take a little bit of
time to try and elaborate, but even Tim Allen's character
in Last Man's Standing it was always coded to try
and just appease someone, whether it be you know, the
boss at the office, whether it be the wife. It
wasn't ever just solid, unmoving male leadership because that's who

(21:34):
he was, and he's confident and who he is. It
just it never those Those aren't the male figures in
major American television that we have anymore. And the last
time we had something that was even slightly coded that
way was Chris Evans character in The Captain as Captain

(21:54):
America in the Marvel series, and then you find out
that Captain America is just a lib like that is
just a woke lib. It's like, well, of course he
had to be. He's not actually allowed to be a
representation of a strong traditional American male. And the young
guys looked around. They're seeing their young female counterparts that

(22:16):
are skewing hard to the left, and they're just like,
I don't I don't recognize this world. This world has
basically told them you're not welcome here, and here's all
the reasons that are wrong with you. And this was
the proverbial middle finger to the university system, to every

(22:41):
school marm like vice principal's that's really what Kamala Harris
felt like to many many people, Like everyone kind of
had a Kamala Harris in their life and they didn't
like her, Like reminded you of this kind of like
wet blanket vice principle in school that nobody enjoyed. That
was that's in essence who Kamala Harris was. And the

(23:03):
young guys were like, yeah, you know what, I really
don't care anymore Trump all the way that just as
being an under thirty young male, like I get it,
I get it, I feel the same inclinations, I feel
the same I sympathize because when I applied for college,
I and this was like back in twenty fourteen, I

(23:24):
was even marking on my you know, on my college applications,
what is your race? And I would say, prefer not
to answer, what is your sex? Prefer not to answer
because I had in the back of my mind I
was like, yeah, no, I'm I may not get in
if I tell them exactly what I am. I may

(23:45):
not get in. With student loans that I no longer have.
Praise God, I looked around. I was like, huh, I
wonder if I'm gonna get any student loan forgiven it. No,
I went to a private Christian school. Look at me,
I'm not getting student loan forgiveness. I know, politics a
patronage network, and I was not the patron for the
party in power. It's that's just kind of how it was.

(24:07):
So that's a little bit of my analysis. We'll come
back around to the big story again in the next
couple hours. But that's that is why the young males
skewed hard.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Right.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
It's the M A D Radio Network where we challenge
you to make a difference in your world.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
M A D again it, you know, try to.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Make a positive influence upon others, you know, you know,
be a good person at the Morning Show, Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
As always, if you feel the urge to write me,
you're more than welcome to Grant A l l e
n at w f l A F Again, that's Grant
a l l e N. Grant Allen at w f
l A FM dot com. Fifty two minutes after the
hour here on the Morning Show. It's been a good hour,
number one already. I wanted to touch this to one

(25:13):
of the things that we know was going to happen
with a Trump victory in the election is that there
were a number of selections that had to be made
for cabinet picks. Marco Rubio was selected for Secretary of State.
But my thoughts are more kind of immediate, like who's
going to fill that slot right that Governor DeSantis will

(25:33):
have to to fill. And here this is the USA
Today Network. They put together a list of most likely candidates.
I guess from what they're hearing. I don't know what
the timetable is, I uh of when DeSantis will have
to select one, but here are the names that they
throw out. Lieutenant Governor Janette Nuniez, Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody,

(26:01):
former Desantist chief of staff, James Outmeyer, former Florida House
Speaker jose O Leva, and Donald Trump's daughter in law
Laura Trump. So I mean those are kind of like
a wide variety, right, former lawmakers, current executives, a former
chief of staff, and then Laura Trump, who would most

(26:24):
assuredly be the most of the outsiders, someone who's not
really been involved in the Florida political scene here in Tallahassee.
All of those other names you kind of recognize if
you're kind of in and around the Tallahassee political scene,
the Florida political scene. Laura Trump has obviously been elsewhere
working with you know, Trump businesses, the Trump campaign, and
I don't believe she spent a lot of time in

(26:45):
the Tallahassee area, Not that that's an important qualification, just
saying that as a fact. There's kind of four and
then one here, if that makes sense. I'm kind of
ambivalent about the pick, to be honest with you. I
think Ashley Moody would do just fine. Utmeyer would do
just fine. The one that I just don't know a
lot about is Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunyaz just Ben rather

(27:06):
you see her, yeah, like yeah, Jose's giving the thumbs up.
I like, I like Lieutenant Governor Nunyaz. You see her
come around, you know, like during emergency you know, stormwatch stuff.
But Lieutenant Governor Nunyez unlike Attorney General Moody. Attorney General
Moody is definitely much more I guess publicly aware. I
guess the public may be aware of her. Maybe maybe

(27:28):
that that's just my read on it. I could be
wrong because Attorney General Moody, as you know, the highest
ranking you know, law enforcement official in the state, has
been active in defending you know, state laws that were
passed through the legislature and signed by the governor. Various

(27:48):
you know, hot cultural moments She's offered her say which
I it's just interesting to watch Utmeyer close to Santis guy,
former House Speaker Jose Oliva. He's been it's been a
while since he's been around, so he would kind of
be making a return a little bit. So I'm kind
of kind of ambivalent about the pick, to be honest

(28:09):
with you don't really know, but I wanted to hit
this too. This is from Hot Air. Donald Trump is
already shrinking the size of the federal government. There are
numerous FDA employees that are threatening to mass quit in
protest against Trump picking RFK Junior, This is hilarious. I
saw the same thing with the Pete hag Seth pick.

(28:30):
I think it was the entire DEI office was threatening
the resignation. If Pete hag Seth was confirmed as def SEK,
that would be hilarious. Is that not cultural victory already,
let alone actual victory? Like you just force mass layoffs,
force quit you know, they're just there. We're out, We're done.

(28:50):
We don't want to be a part of this. And
I love the possibility that it's just beginning. So we
are at the end of our nomberumber one here on
the Morning Show. We've got whole two more hours than
Doctor Joe Camp's coming up next hour five minutes after

(29:12):
the hour. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Morning
Show Without Preston, it's got our number two. I'm Grant
Alan filling in for Preston, just for the day. If
you're just tuning in. Preston just taking a day off
and invited me in to be able to sit in
the Captain's chair for just a few hours with you
this morning, and I thought it'd be a great idea

(29:33):
to kind of go through. I mentioned it at the
end of our Number one. I kind of talked about
it a little bit, some of Trump's cabinet selections, because well,
it's been a while since I've been on and haven't
really been able to give my thoughts, and it's kind
of like this is like my outlet, you know, Like
I it's been a couple months, and I've got all

(29:55):
these thoughts stewing around in my head, and so now
I've got three hours to just just get it out
of my system. And so there's been a lot of
talk about Trump's cabinet picks, whether or not that they
were the right fit for the spot, whether they were
you know, maybe they were a home run. Everyone's got
different thoughts on it. I've got a general view, right,

(30:16):
and then I've got more precise views about each particular
selection in the cabinet. The general view is, I think
that this is indicating to us, all of these different selections,
by and large are indicating to us that voted for him,
us that voted for him, that it feels like mistakes

(30:38):
have been learned from right. Trump has admitted this. Everyone
that remembers the first four years of the Trump administration
remembers the John Boltons, remembers the Rex Tillerman's remembers the
Anthony Scaramucci's just ended up people who were rather well,

(31:00):
let's just say, insufferable. And it feels like that those
that kind of instinct because Trump himself has said, when
I got in, you know, I don't really know exactly
he's pulling a lot from I guess what you could
could describe as that DC Beltway class. And now the

(31:24):
cabinet selections are by and large not DC Beltway selections.
They're not you know, longtime officials at X department. They're
not longtime officials at you know, Department A, B C.
You name it, right, FDA, Department of Defense, you name it.

(31:48):
So here's just some off the top. Right, we know
Susie Wiles will be why House Chief of Staff, Secretary
of State Marco Rubio, So let's go. Let's go to
Senator current Senator Rubio real quick. I generally think that's
a good pick because now I would have been a
little more concerned because we know that Marco Rubio in

(32:09):
the past was more pro amnesty than we would have
liked him to be, a little more disappointing on the
immigration front than we would have liked him to be.
But he's not heading up homeland security like he's Secretary
of State. Everyone knows that Senator Rubio's gifting has always
been kind of kind of thinking off the cuff, like
in diplomatic relations. I think his skill set kind of

(32:31):
being a mediator between Party A and Party B, or
between the United States and Country X, will be a
rather successful pick. And I think Marco maybe in a
little bit of like a prove it's prove himself kind
of mode, right, because he came in as a Tea
party pick in twenty ten and ran into the buzzsaw

(32:55):
that was the twenty sixteen Republican presidential primary, like eventually
got the mind cur little little Marco like it just
it was kind of it was kind of like not
not not great to watch for a little bit of
the time. And so now he's kind of like back
and he's working his way up. I think that it
will prove to be a good pick.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
R f K boy.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I there's there's a lot of things that I could
say about RFK, but this is total victory for the
crunchy tradwives. We're gonna get the fluoride out of the water.
We're gonna make seed oil's beef tallow again. We're going
to get the atrazine out of the water. This this
is really good news for American food that has largely

(33:43):
been poisonous to a lot of us for kind of
a couple generations. Now this is this is total victory
for the sour dough making tradwives who have been warning
us about seed oils and you know, the carcentage is
in our deodorant and all of these different things that
cause you name it. The crunchy tradwives have been warning us.

(34:04):
And the RFK pick tells me that the crunchy tradwives
have a place and the Trump administration, and I am
here for it. Bring on the sourdough, bring on the
beef tallow soap, Bring it on. I'm here for it.
We're ten minutes after the hour. I got more with
Trump's cabinet selections, kind of my thoughts on it.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Next The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio double
ufla Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
In case you're wondering what a crunchy tradwife is, it's
that kind of genre on TikTok and Instagram, the genre
of content it's like, Hey, I'm a stay at home
mom of three and here's my sourdough recipe kind of content. Right,
you've probably seen it. But generally the crunchy tradwives have
been ahead of the curve in terms of the public

(34:58):
and regard the types of things that we put put
in our bodies, the types of soap that we washed
with our bodies. There there's been a lot of studies
that have confirmed a lot of those things that have
entered into what you could call common knowledge now because
of the proliferation of so many different influencers and content
creators out there that specialize in this kind of stuff.

(35:19):
They're stay at home moms that started doing the research
deep dive and they're like, oh my gosh, this is
this is what we're we're feeding to our children. That's
what crunchy tradwives are. And r FK Junior is in essence,
all of the momentum behind that kind of movement wrapped
up into a figure heading straight to I won't be

(35:40):
clear here. Hhs. That's that is so crazy. So there's
another tidbit of this that I wanted to hit on,
and I believe it was Agriculture Secretary was being rumored
that Thomas Massey was going to be one of those
was going to be one of those picks. He himself

(36:00):
kind of lives the agrarian life, congressman. I think he's
one of our one of the best house reps up
there right now, kind of lives the agrarian life in
his Kentucky district. And one of the guys who's running
around in Christian circles for a while who was rumored
to be an advisor to the eventual secretary was a
guy by the name of Joel Salatin who he's spoken

(36:23):
at Christian conferences and he's done lecture series, written so
many books about regenerative agriculture. He's an advocate for regenerative agriculture,
which is kind of just like the old paths, the
old ways of living in terms of you know, how
we raise our crops, raise our livestock, and if you've
kind of been in the the kind of the trad

(36:44):
Christian scene, for a little while. The name Joel Salatin
will ring a bell, and the fact that he very
well may have a post in this Trump administration just
blows me away. Honestly, I didn't think it was going
to be this good, Like I was kind of holding
now having some reservations that I don't know, maybe it

(37:07):
could just be the first term all over again. No,
I don't think so. So let's keep going. We've got
former guest of the show, Congressman Michael Waltz, who's been
tapped to be National Security Advisor. I think that's a
good pick. Interior, your Secretary Doug Doug Bergham, North Dakota
Governor Christy Nome, Homeland Security Tom Holman, our boy Tom

(37:32):
Homan as borders are the one who infamously said on
sixty Minutes in response to a question, how are you
going to do mass deportations without keeping families together? And
he said, oh, we can deport whole families together. So
based so great. US Ambassador at Israel, Mike Huckabee. Was

(37:53):
he born for that job or what? There was probably
only one person who wanted that post more and it
was probably John Hagy. And if you if you know
you know, let's see, let's keep going.

Speaker 6 (38:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
We've got White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Uh, she's
like my age. She's twenty seven, which is crazy. She's
one of the youngest ever. And then now famously Department
of Government Efficiency Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. And it's
always fun watching the left freak out over like, oh,
a Department of Government Efficiency headed headed up with two bosses. Oh,

(38:29):
living up to the name. It's so funny just watching
them like devolve into basically libertarians because they've been you know,
they're the left right there. They've been big government. They've
been a federal bureaucratic regime size and scale, you know,
for years. That's how they get their things pushed through,
their initiatives push pushed through is through this bureaucratic agency.

(38:53):
And now they're opposed to more. It's just so funny
to watch them kind of flounder. As as as total
victory is inbound, I'm totally The more I talk about it,
the more the better I feel about a lot of
these picks. Still, I still have this thing in the
back of my mind that something's going to drop, But
I don't know if it's going to this time, I'm

(39:15):
feeling a little more encouraged, and boy, it's going to
be one heck of a confirmation process for each of
these figures, especially Matt Gates. And I didn't even get
to Matt Gates, which is probably one of the more
controversial ones so far of the Trump cabinet selections. I
don't know if I'll have time to get to it,

(39:37):
because there's more things that I want to discuss. But
I've seen the people that have said that they don't
like to pick, and I don't quite agree with that assessment.
Maybe I'll touch on it before we get to another
story in the next segment, So stick around after the break.
We're sixteen minutes after the hour here on the Morning Show.
I'm Grant Allen filling in for Preston. I wasn't intending

(40:02):
to go into this segment to complete my thoughts about
the Trump cabinet selection picks, but here I am. Lastly,
the Matt Gates pick. The thing that I mentioned before
we went to break, I saw lots of people saying
he's not qualified. He only served practiced law for you know,
like twenty five months or something like that. Hear me

(40:30):
out for a second. I think we on the right
make a slight mistake in hinging all of our business efforts,
you know, like political appointments, things like that, kind of
who we patronize simply off of the meritocracy, right, hear

(40:54):
me out. Don't get me wrong. If when you're hiring
for someone, you want the best person for the job,
that's what you're seeking. If you're a business owner, you're
a job creator, you're a boss of any kind, you
want to find the best person who's gonna fit this
skill set and be able to do the job successfully. However,

(41:14):
I think when it comes to what's at stake, just
maybe file the meritocracy thing kind of back away in
your brain and think, maybe just for a second, that
maybe the most important thing is actually in this moment,
in our current cultural moment and our expression right now,
what we need the most is loyalty. Because we just

(41:35):
watched the Senate Republicans, instead of rallying behind rex Scott
where the momentum was looking, they went with John Thune,
who is kind of like, for all intents and purposes,
feels like a carbon copy of Mitch McConnell. I don't know,
is he worse, I didn't know a lot of the guy.
He's kind of, you know, a lesser known figure until now,

(41:56):
you know, from a small state like South Dakota, small
pot populated state that is like South Dakota. So I
just didn't know a lot about the guy. But I
just saw a lot of people that I did trust
saying that I don't know about this pick, and so
leave it to Beltway Republicans to be able to you know,
shoot our entire momentum in the foot. But that said,
I think in this cultural moment, I think we do

(42:18):
need loyalty to America first. Primarily right, of course, keep
finding competent people. But if we're simply going off of
like the meritocracy, we're going off of something that nobody
else does, right, like no the progressive left, no other
nation kind of thinks that way of like only the

(42:41):
most competent people for the job. Yes, we want competent people.
I'm giving the disclaimer time and time again here, but
in a sense, you need people who are going to
be loyal, Like who do you pledge your sword to
in the end? Are you going to get the job
done because you believe in it? That was the problem
of the first Trump administration. Nobody was loyal, but they

(43:03):
were highly qualified, weren't they not Many of them were
highly qualified, career bureaucrats, career beltwegh people, and look where
it got us. I think in this moment, we could
just for a moment, just put away the meritocracy kind
of talk I know of Avake Ramaswami is big on
that night. I think focusing on that and that alone

(43:24):
is a mistake. It's not the only thing, but there
are more things to life than just simply you know,
merit It's there is a little bit of like who
are your duties and obligations to? And if the MAGA
movement America First is basically the political movement personified of
you know, duties and obligations to Americans and Americans first,

(43:46):
then I think that's what we ought to be doing
in terms of these presidential cabinet selections. Which is why
I'm primarily encouraged, because it doesn't feel like that there
are too many snakes in the grass. It feels like
there's a lot of buy in. I could be wildly wrong.
We could have this, you know, a bunch of backstabbers.
I don't know. Time will tell, but I'm less likely

(44:09):
to say that now then I was maybe even before
you know, in the twenty twenty presidential campaign with President Trump.
I do think his close call with God, that bullet
grazing his ear, that does something to a man. Right.

(44:31):
I don't know his faith life, but I think reality
set in in a way. And if the JD Vance
pick was a reflection, what if the JD Vance pick
for Vice president truly wasn't made until after President Trump
was shot in the ear, then I think that's our
indicator that whole man, like, this is a little different

(44:55):
this time. Like, don't think of President Trump any longer
being the President Trump that came down the escalator. Think
of him as the one that got up and said fight, fight, fight,
Like let that one be the one that's burned in
your brain. Because it's a different President Trump than what
he was eight nine years ago. I think it's I

(45:18):
think it's a different kind of man this time, and
I do think it's for the better. Twenty seven minutes
after the hour, Gotta go to break, We got more
coming up. Doctor Joe Camps at seven point forty, Good morning,
welcome back. We're officially halfway done with the Monday episode here,

(45:41):
and we've got a lot yet to discuss, but the
big story in the press box, I want to start
by talking about the young zoomer vote that skewed heavily
for Trump. I mentioned it last hour. I'll mention it again.
So if you don't happen to catch this one in
its entire you can go back and listen to it.
But this is actually a clip from the archives of

(46:04):
the Morning Show. This was August of twenty twenty three.
This was August last year, over a year ago, where
Preston and I are having a discussion and I'm trying
to explain my thoughts about why I think the young
zoomer males, the under thirty demographic is actually more right
wing than we think. And this was over a year ago.
I think, in hindsight, this kind of proves, you know,

(46:27):
the most recent election kind of proves my thought. Here's
what I was saying then. The way that I was
able to describe it, at least in my head, is
that the young guys, the zoomers, have been so like
particularly young males, have been so maligned that in the

(46:48):
public school system there's this expectation that if you cannot
learn by sitting eight hours a day. There's something wrong
with you. That young males are viewed as defective girls
because they don't learn the same way. They've been much
maligned in the same way that if you happen to

(47:10):
come from a conservative background, same thing you're hurt. You
hear from your youngest years that there's something wrong with you,
and there's something wrong with the sins of your father
and your grandfather. Your entire lineage is corrupted with white privilege, racism,
et cetera, et cetera. And I think that the young

(47:32):
guys are just kind of like, no, yeah, that's what
happened in this presidential election. Pech Keenan over at the
Federalist pens the article let's hear it for the straight
white boys who saved us from Kamala, and she equival
makes the comparison, you know, explaining that all of the
young male spaces now are now coded right wing. Since COVID,

(47:57):
she writes, they started bringing up Trump a lot. They
became based it's in the water, the online discourse, their
friend groups, the fortnite group chats, the powerlifting gym, even
at church. She is particularly I'm assuming Roman Catholic, So
I use the term church because it's not just in
Roman Catholic expressions of faith. It's like young Christian guys

(48:19):
everywhere are. They're more to the right now. They discovered weightlifting,
she writes, They became keenly aware that the world right
outside their front door and in our deep blue neighborhood
hates them. They lived through black lives matter and wondered
if white lives mattered too. They endured years of movies

(48:39):
and cartoons where the hero was a strong, independent girl
boss and the boys were either idiots or inconsequential. They
had to try to ignore Pride Month whenever identity except
theirs was celebrated, and wondered when they were allowed to
feel pride about being straight and white. Can you even imagine?
They had to go to Boy Scouts with female boy
Scouts and their female Scout leader. In the spring of
twenty twenty four, he writes, my oldest started getting all

(49:01):
his college acceptances. He had a four point three gpa
amid fourteen hundreds SAT, and tons of extracurriculars, leadership experience,
great recommendations. He was shut out of every single University
of California school. He applied to and usc that's the
state of particularly young males, who if you don't, if

(49:25):
you're not, if you want to know, what is the
place for young males and what they can become in
America in the vision of the left, the left pretty
much has nothing to offer young males except to become
like Tim Walls, like this kind of like buffoon. He's
like flailing around on stage, just like acting absolutely like

(49:48):
that kind of goofy sitcom dad that nobody respected in
the progressive left America. There's nothing for young men to
become accept of that archetype. That's what it is. Forty
minutes after the hour, Doctor Joe Camps coming up next.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Healthy Expectations with Doctor Joe Camps. Doctor Joe, all over
the years you've talked with the public of all sorts
of various different styles of medical practices, best practices in
their life, good sleeping, eating right. What are your thoughts?
What are you bringing to the public today?

Speaker 7 (50:44):
Well, you know, I thought we had you know, we
started to show out off with maybe finding ways to
have weight reduction and exercise and that kind of a
thing more of an encouraging team. Unfortunately, there was an
article that just came out recently in The Lancet which

(51:05):
says that in a little over two decades, two decades now, right,
so we're talking about about twenty plus years, two hundred
and fifty million people in America would be either overweight obese.
That's just two and sixty million. Now. Some people would

(51:26):
probably just want to blow that off, but that's catastrophic
when you look at with what obesity does it causes,
you know, heart disease, respidorialns, just cancer, weight bearing, writer,
you name it. It's all over the place. And when
I saw this, in about twenty years, they're expecting over

(51:48):
two hundred and sixty's. That's a two hundred million people.
There's a lot of people, and so I thought, reve
than try and break this down, just to bring this
back to people's focus. You think about it, you can
look around, just look around you today when you move about,
and just look at how this is affecting us. And

(52:09):
so we really need to take heed to that. Fortunately,
I've already gotten my four and a half miles walk
in this morning with my walking crew. Well now, and
we were talking and we were talking about that and
so you have got to be intentional about this issue.
But this is stagnant when you look at the potential
costs for this, when you look at the burden in

(52:31):
terms of caring for these people, you look at the
rehab involved, you look at the complex procedures that it'll
take to move us through this stage. This is a
number that we must pay attention to. And you can
start this morning by making good choices. I'm not going
to tell you what to do. I will just tell
you that if we don't get our arms around this,

(52:53):
this is going to be a catastrophic issue for us.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Yeah, and it's not just a personal health but it's
as you mentioned, the healthcare costs associated with keeping well,
just giving proper care to a massive, massive chunk of
a generation. Like we haven't seen that before.

Speaker 7 (53:15):
We haven't. And when you think about this, just uh,
just to care for this this population, I'm not even
sure if we'll have the bodies to do that right,
let alone look at the economic impact of that to
our society and to our children, and it's just, uh,
it's just something that we must pay attention to. I'm

(53:37):
just gonna call all of our listeners in the region
pay attention to this. This isn't hogwatse. This is the truth.
You know it and I know it. Let's just do
something about it in a positive way. So that's my
message this morning. I was just really blown away by
the projection that that that that that this is. This
could be monumental moving forward, so we must act in

(54:00):
something about this.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Yeah, it makes me want to go for a run
like you did, Doctor Camps.

Speaker 7 (54:04):
Thanks so much for h oh buddy to take care
of See you next week.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Thank you absolutely, Doctor Joe Camps in Healthy Expectations that
those numbers are like truly nuts, Like you're it's in
the coming years, it's never going to be very difficult
to be elite, right to be elite. If you're well spoken,
you know, have a degree of physical fitness, you're going

(54:28):
to be in the elite percentage of the population. Like immediately.
Those are crazy numbers. And you're looking after your own
children and grandchildren by taking care of yourself now because
the burden of care is gonna eventually come to them. Unbelievable.
Forty six minutes after the hour, doctor Joe Camps again,
thanks for joining us in Healthy Expectations. We got more

(54:50):
coming up here on the morning show. I'm Grand talent.
We're at the end of our number two. Can you
believe it already? I've spent most of this hour talking

(55:12):
about the Trump cabinet picks and selections. Brief interruption for
a couple other things. But one of the things that
struck me I saw this headline and I was like, man,
this is just kind of typical where we are shifting
sands and shifting alliances. Seem to be a lot of

(55:33):
what the new Trump coalition is. So many of the
never Trumpers come from a particular brand of Republican politics.
I think of it like the Carl Rove type of
Republican politics. Bill Crystal, you know, Rick Wilson, like those

(55:54):
kind of like the Lincoln Project type guys, and they're
very friendly to like the US Chamber of Commerce. They
were very fortune five hundred company based, you know. The
During the Occupy Wall Street movement of the late two thousands,
most of what you could call the right sympathize more

(56:18):
with the businesses more than the occupiers, if you will.
And the Occupy Wall Street movement was the precursor to
what we would eventually get with full blown wocism. Right,
we know this, but you'll have weird overlaps. So you've
got Elon who has spent most of his life who's

(56:41):
been not very politically minded, Tulci Gabbard, who was primarily
on the left for most of her life. She's still
well to the left of me, to be clear, but
under this kind of kind of forming new coalition, she
does kind of have a place, and it's more focused
around the question of how do you view the establishment,

(57:04):
how do you view the deep state? RFK and Tulsi
Gabbard are well to the left of me. I'm pretty
much still like a traditionalist in every definition of the word,
and they on many social issues, have conceded a lot
to the left, like to be clear. So I'm not

(57:27):
saying that they are one and the same with what
I'm thinking, but I am much more likely to give
the benefit of the doubt to someone who looks rightly
at the federal bureaucratic apparatus and all of its tentacles
in its reach in every state in the country, and
someone who's antagonistic to that apparatus. I'm much more willing

(57:48):
to give the benefit of the doubt. In walks. Bernie
Sanders headline, Senator Sanders says he's looking forward to Trump
fulfilling his promise on credit card interest rates. So in
in this kind of maga America First coalition that's definitely
got some strange alliances, Bernie Sanders does have a stake

(58:09):
in the game in the fact that he's really frustrated
with the Democrat Party. Now. I think he's kind of
a fraud, right, because he built himself in twenty sixteen
as this outsider of the Democratic machine, but in the
end he fell in line. Like he's just kind of
towed the line with much of what the party apparatus.

(58:31):
So I don't like, even among leftist agitators, I don't
have a lot of like like sympathy or respect because
he taught this big game of being anti Hillary Clinton,
anti Democratic Party establishment, and then he kind of has
just fallen in line in the last few years. But
he is looking forward to Trump capping credit card interest

(58:54):
rates at ten percent and passing that type of an
anti usery law. That's crazy, actually, I think that'd be
really good. And in this weird forming kind of coalition
that we're in in the Year of Our Lord twenty
twenty four, you've got weird things going on. And let

(59:16):
me just say, I don't really like AOC, but it
wouldn't shock me if AOC starts to find herself being
able to negotiate with some of the MAGA America First
types in Washington in a Trump administration for more basic,

(59:38):
what you could consider anti establishment type policies, right. And
that's what the new Mega Coalition is. It's a coalition
of old stock Americans with labor unions, with people who
were disgusted by the left in wokeism, and it's this
really interesting mix up of different factions that have kind

(59:59):
of found a home in America First. And it's very
it's very odd. We'll see where it goes. I'm not
gonna hold my breath for too long though, hour number
three here in the Morning Show. Welcome. If you're just
tuning in, I know I'm not pressed, but I am

(01:00:19):

(01:01:05):
the break I wanted to get your thoughts because you
can see on the rundown there what is? What does
the rundown say? For part one and part two of
the next couple segments is Thanksgiving dead?

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Question mark?

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Is Thanksgiving dead? I can't help but feel like I'm
the only one, Like maybe I am the only one.
We went from spirit Halloween directly to hobby lobby Christmas
decorations like instantly, and I've always lamented that, Like is

(01:01:43):
there even a genre of thing called Thanksgiving music? Like?
Is there like Thanksgiving music? And I know there's a
song by guy I think his name is Ben Rector.
He's got like the Thanksgiving song. I think the Christian
singer Matthew West did a song, but I'll be honest,
I didn't enjoy it. It was kind of not my speed.
But it feels like we've shifted to Christmas out of order.

(01:02:07):
Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. And I was
talking with my wife about this, like, I think people
moved to Christmas particularly sooner because Thanksgiving is so late
this year. So Thanksgivings next week, next Thursday, the twenty eighth,
and so I just I can't help but feel And
I was inspired by this article over at American Reformer.

(01:02:31):
You can go to American Reformer dot org. It's probably
one of my favorite journals to read, and there's an
article you can find called the Death of Thanksgiving. How
it feels like because of American commercialized culture, Halloween is particularly,
you know, highly marketable, right, the candy, the treats, trick

(01:02:56):
or treating, the costumes, it's very marketable. You throw lots
of Halloween parties in the office. Your kids at school
are having Halloween parties, getting all jacked up on sugar
all day long in the classroom. Maybe they do that anymore.
I don't know if they do that anymore. Maybe not,
but it feels like there's Halloween that's highly marketable, there's

(01:03:20):
Christmas that's obviously highly commercialized and highly marketable, and then
there's Thanksgiving just kind of smack dab in the middle
of it. And I my theory on why it gets
glossed over is because there's no way that you can
avoid the Christian beginnings of Thanksgiving right Halloween, I would

(01:03:44):
actually argue, and I know some some of my Christian
friends may may disagree with me. They don't like Halloween.
And don't get me wrong, Halloween has become particularly grotesque recently.
You see those like I drive around different neighborhoods and
these there's these giant, like grotesque things that people put
in their yards. I just don't like it. It's just

(01:04:06):
kind of dark. And it's not just like dressing up
as Casper the Friendly Ghost anymore or No. It's like,
go is the most horrific, like almost demonic looking thing
you could possibly find, and that's your Halloween costume, And
it's it's just I have no other word for it
than grotesque. However, Halloween, the origins of Halloween, what is

(01:04:27):
the word Halloween? All Hallows Eve Hallow meaning holy. It's
an Old English word for holy, all Hallowod Eve, all
hallows Eve, Halloween, which was the evening before the Hallowood
All Saints Day, the feast of All Saints on November first,
And so in your high church traditions you still enter

(01:04:50):
into that phrase that time in the church calendar, which
is all hallow Tide, which is commemorating remembering the Christian
Saints that have gone before us to glory and are
now with Christ. Like that though, that was the origination
of Halloween. The idea that it's this neo pagan like
kind of larp, that it's the modern American iteration of sowin,

(01:05:11):
it's just not true. That's that's that's a myth concocted
by neo pagan's. And then Christmas obviously Christ. So here
we go Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, all particularly Christian expressions of
major holidays, and there they've Thanksgiving has been forgotten, Halloween's commercialized,

(01:05:33):
Christmas is commercialized. It's just it's so sad to me that,
you know, especially something like Thanksgiving has been forgotten. We
got more coming up next. I think I pretty much
finished my thoughts there.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
I'll move on to more the Morning Joe with Preston
Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven wu.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
FLA, Jose, I just sent you that article that I
really like. There's a there's an article. I can maybe
send it to Presston and we'll uh maybe able to
get it out in case you're interested in kind of
my thoughts on why Halloween but thank yeah, Thanksgiving it's
it's just it's expressly a Christian holiday and it just

(01:06:18):
completely gets glossed over. Everyone is only focused about it
for one day and I kind of want to give
you know, it's it's due, Like let's let's hold off.
You know, Christmas decorations. When do you When do you
put up your Christmas decorations? We usually do it right
after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
I always thought in my head that, Okay, the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day parade is over, we're fixing a half Thanksgiving
dinner and then and then you have permission, you know,
to have put up. That's how that's how my head works.
I'm very orderly that way, but alas some people are
just lawless and they care nothing for custom and norm

(01:06:59):
I kidd, massive topic change here, right, and this is
a segment that I didn't get to early in the show,
but I'm going to bring it back. It was a
segment that I entitled touch Grass. A new study from
McGill University in Montreal. I think, yeah, it's in French here.

(01:07:19):
Time in nature benefits children with mental health difficulties, and
some will say, well, yeah, of course it does. Here's
what they found. The research comes on the heels of
the publication of a UNISEF report pointing to the importance
of green space for children's development. Researchers found that at
the end of a three month period, this is particularly
in the classroom. Teachers noted that the biggest changes in

(01:07:42):
behavior occurred in children with the most significant problems at
the outset, including anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, impulsivity, social problems, interacting
with peers, all the issues that can arise in those
kinds of conditions.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
We found that the children with higher mental health symptoms
at line showed greater reductions and symptoms following the intervention
of going outside in nature and being calm and relaxed
and being out in an open space open green space environment.
Students from across Quebec and from a range of economic

(01:08:17):
backgrounds were studied here as part of this study. The
idea for the project came up during the pandemic. One
of the researchers said, when people were worried about the
health risks of children spending so much time inside and
behind screens, quote, my kids and I spend tons of
time in parks. I've seen the benefits of spending time
in nature, both for myself and for them. So I thought,

(01:08:39):
maybe we can have a free and accessible intervention where
school children can spend some time in nature and we
can measure the effects this has on their mood and
behavior end quote. Basically confirming what all of us have recognized,
hours and hours and hours behind screen time, just the
iPad kids right being inside constantly, Like we're already North Americans,

(01:09:05):
meaning if you live in North America, there's a chance
that you have some sort of vitamin D deficiency. I
remember talking with the doctor one time about that, and
it's like, if you live in North America, Florida, you know,
particularly South Florida, can be an exception at times if
you have a very active lifestyle outdoors, but by and large,
most of us sit underneath fluorescent lights. A lot of

(01:09:26):
us work behind desks, work desk jobs, and we're not
getting the appropriate vitamin D. No wonder, no wonder, we're
all so angry at each other, no wonder, we're feeling depressed.
We have no energy. So here's my exhortation. Well, Doctor
Camp's last hour said, I'm not going to tell you
what to do. Just be mindful. Here, I'm telling you

(01:09:48):
what to do. Go outside and touch grass, Like, don't
leave your phone, crazy right, leave your phone and go
for a walk, just you, yourself and your thoughts. I
started doing that a little bit. It's lovely. It's like
you hear the birds chirp, you can feel the morning

(01:10:08):
dew on the grass. It's lovely. Go touch grass. Or
sixteen minutes after the hour here in the Morning Show,
a little bit more coming up. I mentioned as part

(01:10:30):
of the big story in the press box that will
reset in our next segment that one of the things
about the modern world that we're living in is that
there's no stone. And I've said this a lot on
the air. You know, when I was producing Preston Show

(01:10:51):
regularly and I was the regular producer, I would say,
there's gonna be no stone left unturned unless it's unless
the left is stopped. And what do I mean by that?
The reason that young men skewed so far to the
right for Trump. And really, if you look at the

(01:11:11):
maps of like which way it trended left, which way
it trended right, the entire country, barring a few regions
of the country, trended to the right. Everyone shifted right.
Virginia was in play on election night and no one
expected that decision. Desk HQ called Virginia and then they

(01:11:33):
had to retract it, like, actually, no, it's too close
to call, and then the Beltway counties and Richmond eventually
carried Virginia for Harris. But when I say there's gonna
be no stone left unturned, there's nothing that we operate in.
You may remember from twenty twenty that I have it

(01:11:55):
on my phone, right. I saved it because and I
see people tweet about it from time to time. Bingo
found it saved this This is from twenty twenty when
the BLM stuff was really taking off. These were aspects
and assumptions of whiteness and white culture in the United States.

(01:12:17):
This is what they call whiteness. Right family structure. The
scientific method, hard work is the key to success. That's
what they call whiteness. So here's the Breitbart article that
I found academic link claims that geology is racist. A

(01:12:46):
professor specializing in inhuman geography at a British university is
declared the subject of geology as racist, claiming it has
been unduly influenced by colonization. That she doesn't say if
geology that has been colonized or not been colonized is right.

(01:13:08):
She didn't say that, but Katherine Yusof, who lectures at
Queen Mary University in London, condemned geology as a subject
that was quote riven with systemic racism end quote. The
Daily Mail reports that Professor Yusof stated in her book

(01:13:29):
Geological Life that the extraction of metals like gold and
iron had created hierarchies, pushed materialism, ravaged environments, and was
the root cause of climate change. So what's a position like,
you know this, professor Katherine Yusof, this is she's actually
doing her job. And here's what I mean. The entire

(01:13:52):
reason for these types of positions at academic institutions is
primarily to further kind of this left, is to gemony
this kind of new world type of speaking and thinking
this deconstruction of all that was what was considered standard,

(01:14:13):
and it's it's basically out of pure hatred of primarily
Christian culture, primarily Western civilization. It's out of hatred of
those things that they claim that geology and history and
all these things are rooted in white supremacy. And they're
actually when they when they do these things, they're actually

(01:14:35):
just doing their job. That is their job at these
positions at these universities. They have their peck, they have
their marching orders from their department heads, and the department
heads of their marching orders from these institutional presidents, and
the institutional presidents running these circles with these politicians, and
they get these massive you know, federal government. Now this

(01:14:57):
is in the UK, so I don't exactly know how
a UK, you know, higher ed world works like that.
If only you all could be in studio, right, we
have a visitor. I'll tell you more. But that's the
point of a Catherine use Off and her position at
these types of universities is to claim that geology is racist.

(01:15:22):
History professors their job is to say that history is racist.
The gender studies professors are are there to say that
uh oh goodness, let me, let me, let me get
the right phrase. Uh, binary BIPOC people are racist. That's
the point actually, And so if there's ever a possibility

(01:15:43):
of like seizing endowments that like, that's that's now in
play politically. But we're we're at the bottom of the hour.
I have to digress here because we're we're at the
bottom of the hour. We got a half hour left
to go here on the Morning Show, I'm Grant Allen
filling in for Preston. Jose's over there. We'll be back.

Speaker 6 (01:16:05):
WUFLA thirty five minutes after the hour here in the
Morning Show, final half hour of the Monday episode.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Preston will be back tomorrow or he may be right here.
What is that, Mike number three?

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Well, you said you liked my big story.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Yeah, you're doing a really good job, so just keep talking.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Preston's got things to do today, so there's no actual
a little bit of sleep in today. It was kind
of nice, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Well you really don't have to refer to him at
all like that. Okay, just you know, don't be patronizing. Okay,
I'll say I'll just shut up and critique everything you saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
Sounds good. Go ahead, I'll proceed. So the big story
in the press.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
Box that was very good.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
From the Federalist Peachy Keenan. You can follow her on
X by the way, a really good follow I've enjoyed
following her content and her writing for and a.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Great expression from the fifties.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
That's Peach. Yeah, that's right, absolutely keen. She penned this
op ed, let's hear it for the straight white boys
who saved us from Kamala and where she's just going
into she herself. She explains in the article how she's
got three teenage boys and she's watched them in their
environments and the schools they go to, at their church,

(01:17:42):
they attend, their friend groups, the fortnite group chats, that
every kind of male space that's particularly under thirty, right,
whether they be high school age guys or you know myself,
like I'm twenty seven, dad married, and so even in
my friend group, it's all starting to really trend to

(01:18:03):
the right. Every group space is kind of coded, right.
Preston and I were talking about this back in August
of twenty twenty three, and I'm trying to remember that
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
That's incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
You gotta have a long memory in this business, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
The mind of a young persons.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Here's what we were talking about then, of why the
young male zoomers are trending right. The way that I
was able to describe it, at least in my head,
is that the young guys, the zoomers, have been so like,
particularly young males, have been so maligned that in the

(01:18:45):
public school system there's this expectation that if you cannot
learn by sitting eight hours a day, there's something wrong
with you. That young males are viewed as defective girls
because they don't learn the same way. They've been much
maligned in the same way that if you happen to

(01:19:06):
come from a conservative background, same thing you hurt. You
hear from your youngest years that there's something wrong with you,
there's something wrong with the sins of your father and
your grandfather. Your entire lineage is corrupted with white privilege, racism,
et cetera, et cetera. And I think that the young

(01:19:28):
guys are just kind of like now. And the efforts
of and the rumors have floated around since then that
Baron Trump was arguably one of the chief influential figures
in the Trump Orbit that got Donald Trump to go
on all of like the bro podcasts, the Theo Vaughn's,

(01:19:50):
the Joe Rogan's, like a barstool sports podcast, busting with
the boys, because rather than doing what was conventional kind
of politics for so many years of trying to get
that sacred middle vote, they're like, why don't we just
expand the base. Why don't we go to the steel
mill worker that puts in twelve hours, just wants to

(01:20:11):
come home, sit on the couch watch Monday night football. Well,
and he pulls out his phone and he sees Donald
Trump on his football podcast that he listens to. Genius
Pure move. That's how you get particularly like the bro vote.
You know, if you go down to downtown and you see,
you know, the frat houses, there's not a Kamala voter there.

(01:20:34):
Like everyone kind of knows this. You observe it, right,
and you kind of feel it, and it was palpable,
and I I could kind of just feel that starting
to really brew. Maybe like a year and a half ago,
things had changed in the eye and the eyes and
the hearts of like young men in this country who

(01:20:55):
have been told for basically their entire lives you're not
welcome in space, elementary school, in the workplace, you got
passed up on jobs, college applications. If you're not welcome,
they're like, well watch this, and that's what they did.
That's what they did. Forty minutes after the hour, just
a couple more segments coming up here in The Morning Show.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
Without Preston the Mad Radio Network, where we challenge you
to make a difference in your world in a positive way,
improving the lives of others.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
It's the Morning Show with President Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Yes, do you have a question.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
I'd like to make some observations about that previous segment.
Number one, you're really smart, thank you. Number two that
mister Preston offered some deep insights in that segment. That
was one of.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Them, and I believe Neanderthal was the other.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
That was the second one. You can't pay for that
kind of insight on the radio anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
That's top tier content.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
And number three, he's so generous with his time, but
we knew that much time to talk.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Well, that's it's this morning, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
That's it, and it's The Morning Show Without Preston.

Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Scott Episode number eight. Yeah, to be specific, YEP.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
Compared to five thousand, two hundred and some odd for him.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
Hey, the Patriots were down twenty three to eight to
the Falcons and they won.

Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
Patriots were down to the the Brits big time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
It came back to win many such cases.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Okay, I'll just be quiet. Now you do the rest
of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
Now, with Trump's victory, we thought that Kamala was done
for good.

Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
But apparently that's good. Was that it's just the spirit
in which you do it, the zeal nasty, nasty woman.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
Apparently there are rumors floating around and this is actually
great example of why you should never live in a
state like California.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
And being good Christian men, we're going to talk about
those rumors.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
That's right. Apparently there's polls going around that there's more
than one Kamala Harra supporter running for governor for a
governor's run for her in California, in her home state.
Now specific the a the poll from UC Berkeley Institute

(01:24:04):
of Government Studies. Can't trust Berkeley, Nope, I wouldn't. Out
of overall California voters, thirty three percent say they're very
likely to support her. So a third of likely California
voters However, thirty six percent say they are not at
all likely to support her, So there's.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
No she's starting at a deficit.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
Yeah, there's not really much of a middle ground. They
say that. Let's see here, thirteen percent they're somewhat likely,
So yeah, forty six percent say that there's a pretty
good chance that they would support her for California governor.
So the question becomes, where does Newsom go? Is Newsome

(01:24:47):
the next guy to run for president?

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
Well? I know is that that the decision to drill
for more oil is nothing but great news for his hairstyle.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
That that's true oil slick Newsome.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
That's he is solid. He's gold when it comes to
his hairstyle.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
Now, I mean it's a full head of hair too.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
I mean it's it's nice hair. There's a lot of credit.
Oh absolutely, you can tip your hat to a man
with a cough like that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
That's true. That's true. Well so they say, according to
the article. Still, the Pole suggests that Californians could be
less supportive of Harris running for governor compared with her
run for president, pointing out that Harris won the state
by fifty nine percent, So if she won fifty nine
percent of the vote. Yet polling numbers are only approximately

(01:25:40):
forty six percent in favor of her. Maybe they don't
want her back.

Speaker 3 (01:25:45):
Well, I know her campaign slogan already, it's been leaked.
Hers forgot to make shoplifting great again.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
That's a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going
to lock up all the things in.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
The shoplifting legal again.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah. We're gonna increase the threshold of what
you can steal is considered misdemeanor, right authored or necessary
for common use, right yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
So there's a lot of potential there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
We're going to wrap up the Morning Show without Preston
Scott coming up next.

Speaker 3 (01:26:16):
A boy, I was strong hint.

Speaker 8 (01:26:28):
Well, there you have another one in the books.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Episode number eight of the Morning Show without Preston Scott
is in the books. It was a fun time. It
turns out I had two guests today. I didn't know
that I had this kind of anonymous Kermit the Frog
figure up here out of nowhere. It's a fun time

(01:26:55):
being able to come back. And it's not the last
time you'll hear me this year. There are a couple
more dates coming up, so stay tuned of when those
dates will be announced. I don't know if you said that. Sorry,
not talking to Kermit's We've got a lot to discuss,

(01:27:18):
you know, in the upcoming episodes. Preston will be back
tomorrow morning, six eastern, five Central here on the normal
radio waves and the iHeartRadio app as always. But Jose,
I appreciate you letting me, you know, crash your party
and be able to be a part of this too
as let let go ahead and say it. Oh, it

(01:27:42):
is an honor and a pleasure.

Speaker 3 (01:27:44):
There it is.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
I've been trying not to fan boy the whole.

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
Entire time, and I think I was successful.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
That is, okay, you're good. So well, one of the
I'll leave you partying with this story, right, So I
mentioned it briefly earlier, didn't get to go into it
at all. But Donald Trump's already shrinking the size of
the federal government. There are mass quitting being threatened and
multiple federal departments ahead of his inauguration. FDA employees are

(01:28:18):
threatening to mass quit in protest against Trump. Picking RFK Junior.
One person had a quote tweet here, it seems like
a pretty good quote. Good seems like shooting fish in
a barrel. The problem employees are letting Trump's administration know
who they are. This will make the firing decision clear
and easy, and fire all the people who need needed
a break after Trump was elected, and don't offer severance packages.

(01:28:40):
So like they're Some of the responses to this kind
of content is is pretty good. All the bureaucrats are
ready to quit.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
Brought to you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's
the Morning Show on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
It was a full day. I had a lot to
kind of get out. I had all these things popping
around in my head, just needing to, you know, get
out of my system. We talked a lot about Donald
Trump's cabinet selections. Overall. I went into the more finer

(01:29:19):
details of my thoughts about particular picks at the top
of the seven o'clock hour, so you can go back
and check that if you're curious. Overall, my general thought
is that I'm I'm pretty positive, I'm feeling pretty good
a lot of the cabinet selections. It feels like there
are some of the mistakes from the first administration, not
really knowing a lot of what to expect when a

(01:29:39):
new outsider president arrives to Washington. In the White House,
for the first time getting to be able to kind
of make make amends with some of those mistakes. Feel
feels like a development. Who's going to replace Marco Rubio
could be Laura Trump, could be a desantist chief of staff,
you know, former official lieutenant governor, could be Attorney General

(01:30:02):
Ashley Moody. The big story in the press box, however,
was why young men skewed so far to the right,
and me being one of those guys, the under thirty voter,
I felt like I had a particular investment in this
story being able to share it from my perspective as

(01:30:23):
well as accompanied by an article over at the Federalist
Peachy Keen and wrote a good piece. Go check it
out there. Strange alliances are forming in the kind of
MAGA America First coalition, like Bernie Sanders is now talking
about wanting to pass like anti usery laws as part
of Trump policies, which is just if you would have

(01:30:45):
said that, like in twenty sixteen when he was running
for the Democrat primary, I would have said, you're crazy.
Important note to teaching staff to your kids to you
go touch grass, go outside the air, you know, to
go do the thing is thanks is Thanksgiving. Dead geology

(01:31:07):
is racist impression. Will be back tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
Have a good one.
