Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, good morning, everybody. Welcome to Tuesday, March eleventh, on
the Morning Show. I am Preston. It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott Funny. How that all worked out? He's
Jose and it is good to be with you, really is.
It's March the eleven Show, fifty three thirty three more
on this date in history and mere moments. But we

(00:34):
always start with some scripture, and so we're gonna kind
of polish off a look at two Timothy here, and
I want to zero in on one thing. In verse
sixteen and seventeen, it says this, this is Paul writing Timothy,
and Paul's in prison, and he says, at my first defense,

(00:59):
no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me.
May it not be charged against them. But the Lord
stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me
the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles
might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.

(01:24):
There are two things there I want to highlight. First
of all, I want to go to the second part. First,
while Paul was in his trial and challenge, the Lord

(01:47):
was with him, and he knew that things manifested themselves. Sorry,
so sorry. Things manifested themselves in such a way that
he knew God was working. It's the only way he
could account for it. Total and complete trust in God.

(02:11):
Prior to that, though, he points out that no one
was standing with him, no one was encouraging him. Was
it fear? Was it? I don't know, but he was.
He was dumped. But note what he said, may it

(02:34):
not be charged against them? Sunday in service, when we
recovered this, Pastor looked across the room and he said
some really smart words. Forgive. That is the summary of

(03:02):
what Paul's saying in that verse. Forgive. What did Jesus
say on the cross? Forgive them? They don't know what
they're doing. Let me just say this to every single

(03:25):
one of you up early listening this morning and those
of you that are catching this on the podcast on
the Rebound. Unforgiveness does nothing to the person you're holding
a grudge against. Nothing. It does hurt you. It's a

(03:56):
spiritual cancer, it's an emotional cancer. It is a brain
cancer because you spend so much time agonizing over that
hurt and that bitterness, that anger. You know, anger is
not a problem, but you don't let it turn to sin.

(04:20):
And unforgiveness is a sin, and it only hurts you.
It never hurts the person that wronged you ever, never ever.
Paul's words exemplify what Jesus did on the cross the

(04:45):
people that deserted Paul. He said, forgive them, may it
not be held against them. The advice that screams out
of these verses for give. Ten past the hour. Check

(05:06):
into the American Patriots Almanac. Next, take a look at
this day, National Day of Let's tell you next. Stick around.
We're just starting to get going here, loosening up Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
One point seven doubufla.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Eleven past the hour. Sorry, I need to lay out
for just a couple more seconds. Eleven past the hour.
Good morning. Let's see here. Eighteen eighty eight. Now, this
is interesting. One of the worst blizzards in the history
of this country hits the Northeast, killing some four hundred people.

(05:57):
And right now, right now, now this is March eleventh,
there's another blizzard that is looking like it's going to
hit the Midwest in the next day.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Look at that. Even before all of global warming and
all of the climate disruption and all of the we've had,
we've had weird weather before. Here's another thing I want
to point out. Cold kills more than heat, always does,
always has.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
It.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I'm just I'm just saying, if we're in a cycle
where the Earth is naturally just doing its thing and
warming a half a tick, that's what it does. Number
one and number two, that's really good news because we
get more growth, more farming, more land that can be

(06:58):
used agriculturally, and more people in more areas can grow
crops and more growth. More growth means more carbon dioxide
absorbed by plants that then produce oxygen. Just saying carbon
dioxide is not a bad gas, it is one we

(07:20):
must have in our country, in our world, on our planet.
Nineteen eighteen, US first first US cases of Spanish flu
are reported, epidemic that kills six hundred thousand Americans, tens
of millions worldwide. Could you imagine do you imagine that

(07:41):
level of panic hitting the country and the hitting the
world with social media, my goodness, you'd never see another
person's face. Nineteen forty one, President Roosevelt signs the Lend
Lease Bill, which provides war supplies to countries fighting the
axis power. Nineteen sixty, NASA launches Pioneer five, one of

(08:04):
the first probes to explore the solar system. By the way,
that word probe, it just sounds intrusive, doesn't it? A probe?
I'm going to place a probe in your body. You're
going to probe two thousand and two to two columns

(08:30):
of light beam skyward from ground zero, New York City,
tribute to the victims of nine to eleven. Think about it.
That's just months after the attack. Those two beams hit
the sky. I don't know if you know this, but
what is it called? World Trade Center One? Now do

(08:50):
you know how tall it is? The architect designed it
so the tip of the I don't know if it's
a lightning rod or anten at the very top is
seventeen hundred and seventy six feet. The tip of it
is seventeen hundred and seventy six feet. That's like a

(09:10):
giant bird to the terrorists. It's like flipping off the
terrorist saying, yeah, whatever, losers, we're here. We're standing seventeen
seventy six one iconic building at seventeen hundred and seventy
six feet tall. That's just brilliant, real quickly. Here today

(09:31):
is National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. Needs to
come from us because it's certainly not coming from their clients.
National Proposal Day, Promposal National Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day, National

(09:54):
Worship of Tools Day, National Johnny Appleseed Day. So there
you got it. Seen past that come back. A very
interesting story that reminds us you never know now as
you well know on this program. And I had this

(10:16):
discussion yesterday with a potential client. I don't force scriptures
on people. We do the little devotional segment to start
the show, which is really unique. I don't know of
anybody in secular radio that does stuff like that, and

(10:37):
it's just it's what I'm convicted to do. I haven't
done it the entire time I've done this show. I
started doing it a number of years ago because I
was convicted to. I was convicted to do it. I
got to talking, and it was probably right around June
seventeenth when I was talking about the Supreme Court decision
to quote kick God out of schools, like you're kicking

(11:00):
out of anywhere whatever, But where we said teachers, you
can't read scripture or pray with students at the start
of the day. And it was in the course of
talking about that that I just got convicted. Well, then
you do it. You start the day, nothing prevents you
from doing it unless your boss says you can't. Then
you got to pray about and decide if you're going

(11:20):
a quit. Already done that once, then I was left alone,
smart choice by those people at that time who no
longer work with the company anyway. But when I come
across a story that just needs to be shared and

(11:42):
it has to do with God, man, I'm all in.
I look at the news and I look at things
that we talk about through that lens. And you know,
just because I love Jesus doesn't mean I'm not a jerk,
because I can be an idiot, you know, and I can,
you know, laugh at things, and including me. I am

(12:03):
very capable of laughing at myself because I'm an idiot.
Sometimes I just you know, but I'm a lovable idiot.
Came across his story. Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger is a
Christian after years of being an agnostic. The founder of Wikipedia,

(12:27):
he co founded Wikipedia back in two thousand and one.
He left it a year later because he said it
was not a fair, open form. There are a lot
of Nobel Prize winners, distinguished doctors whose views are not
only not welcome on Wikipedia, they're literally censored. And so

(12:49):
he wrote last week about this journey that he went on.
He was raised in a family where you couldn't ask questions.
He was very inquisitive and curious, and he was discourage
from asking questions about God, about faith, about religions. And
I'm like, not bring them on. What scriptures say, seek
the truth and it'll set you free. Go for it.

(13:14):
As long as you accept what you're told and in
your studying and what you're seeing, you know God's truth
is just there. I mean, I don't worry about it,
but I'm always willing to give a defense for what
I personally believe. He chose a liberal arts school as
a student. A pastor wouldn't take him serious. He went

(13:36):
to a pastor to ask questions and he was brushed off.
It's like, what did your pastor not have any game?
Couldn't he defend his own faith? Really? It doesn't surprise
me anyway. He went to a place that would encourage agnosticism,
if not even worse. It was read college in Portland

(13:57):
full of liberal unbelievers. He writes their artificial model was communism, atheism,
and free love. He would later teach philosophy at Ohio
State University. He prided himself on concealing his true beliefs
from students. I wanted them too, to seek the truth
for themselves. He was clearly on a spiritual journey. He

(14:20):
was impressed by believers who were ridiculed and singled out
and harassed for their faith, but stood by their faith.
That spoke to him, and he got sick of seeing
Christians bullied, and so he started doing some real earnest digging.

(14:41):
For the last five years, he's been writing a book
entitled God Exists, a philosophical Case for the Christian God.
It's at two hundred and three thousand, four hundred and
eighty four words and counting. He's still not doing. Here's

(15:01):
what I want to say. It ends with this. In
this article in The Daily Citizen, Larry's Long and Winding
Road demonstrates the power and influence of good and bad parenting,
the importance of welcoming questions from skeptics, the need for
humility and patience when encountering non believers, and the long

(15:22):
suffering and merciful patience of a heavenly father who will
never stop pursuing us, even when we might stop chasing
after him. I wrote on the rundown, and I wrote
a lot on today's rundown. There's a lot of big
letters and underlined words. Here's what I wrote about this story.

(15:42):
This is interesting. You never know. You never know if
the person you're talking to, if the person that's watching you,
if the person that's in your space, where they are
in their journey. You never know. That's why being if

(16:07):
you call yourself a Christian, act like it b one,
train yourself, discipline yourself. Twenty seven Past the Autum. Big
Stories in the press Box coming up next in the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. You may or may not

(16:38):
know that during in the aftermath of COVID, I had
doctor Robert Malone on this program. That was another one
of those hail Mary's I threw out there. And now
not everybody likes doctor Malone. I'm okay with that, so
is he It's all right. I mean, it's it's all right.

(17:00):
There's some people that think he has overemphasized his importance
in the development of mRNA technology, but he was out
there saying this vaccine is bad, and he was right.
He was warning anybody that would listen, and as the

(17:21):
guy who was kind of at the very least one
of the pioneers of mRNA technology to be out there
saying this is not good, it's not going to work,
it isn't working, and for everyone to just dismiss ignore him.
He was a member of the club until he wasn't.

(17:41):
He shared something in an email with me yesterday that
a lot of you might get, and he was talking
about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
meeting with what's called the CBA, the Consumer Brands is Socialiation,
some of the big players, General Mills, PepsiCo, among others,

(18:05):
talking about the possibility of removing certain chemical food additives
from packaged foods, as well as discussing seed oils found
in food. Politico reporting that it would be a recipe
for disaster. A government leaker, there's a major concern that

(18:25):
CBA is going to agree as major industry players to
do things that eliminate science from the FDA. It's entirely
possible that CEOs fall over themselves to agree to whatever
make America healthy again. Ask them to do no. See
that's the thing. It's this is so reminiscent of the
battle plan used by the liberal left on global warming

(18:49):
and on COVID. They make up their science to fit
a predetermined narrative and they silence the best they can
anybody that disagrees. It's the exact same dog on blueprint.
Here's the science. The science is that seed oils are
responsible for a tremendous amount of inflammation. The science shows

(19:12):
that inflammation is one of the biggest enemies to every
part of your body, and there are significant issues if
we eliminate seed oils or reduce that. Big agriculture doesn't
want any part of You know why Kennedy got fought

(19:34):
in his confirmation. He didn't get fought for his position
on vaccines. He got fought because big agriculture was pushing
hard because he wants to limit seed oils. And they
make a crap ton of money off seed oils. Just
think about it, and the plant based diets that the

(19:59):
Biden Obama administrations pushed on us. Guess where they get
their fats seed oils. But if seed oils are in
fact bad for you, if you consume too much of it.
And right now, the average American consumes half a cup
a day of seed oils ninety one pounds a year.

(20:24):
The inflammatory effects are beyond it's not even questioned. The
White House pushed all of this into climate change, and
we're funding initiatives to support all this crap in our
foods under the guise of plant based diets. Kennedy's already

(20:51):
gotten rid of the Climate Change and Health Initiative within
the National Institute of Health. He's already candidate. We're already
seeing good things. The only thing bad was watching Sean
Hannity and the secretary at a Steak and Shake where

(21:14):
Sean Hannity just God bless him. The manager of the
Steak and Shake brings out there burger with fries, and
Hannity's doing this live right, and he says to the guy,
did you forget my coke? Small coke, little ice. It's like, dude,

(21:35):
stop that. That's what you do. In the commercial break,
you don't big time a guy who's being kind to you,
and come on, man, ah, forty one minutes past the hour,
we're going to talk about an unhealthy person.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Next, it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Two almost forty three, pass on the rundown. I wrote
in really big letters, No, she did not do that.
Told you I was going to talk about an unhealthy person.
Let me share the story. Put it in some chronological order.
Jennifer Lee Wilson, forty eight, of Indiana, was sentenced back

(22:39):
in January to six years in prison. She was charged
with reckless homicide in the death of Dakota Levi Stevens.
Going back to April, police were called to a home
in Valparaiso because the boy was not breathing. Turned out

(23:00):
to not have a pulse. Officer found bruising on the
child's lower neck and chest. Offerers attempted to resuscitate the boy.
He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.
Jennifer Lee Wilson told police the boy'd run away from home.
She found him at the neighbor's house, brought him back,

(23:20):
and she said he was still acting bad. Threw himself
on the ground, telling her he was leaving. It should
be pointed out that the child was a foster son.
He was a foster kid. She attempted to stop him

(23:44):
from leaving. According to the court papers, She's not sure
if she tackled him or if they fell to the ground,
but her intention was to hold him, and so what
she did is she sat on him. She sat on
his midsection for about five minutes. He eventually stopped moving.

(24:07):
She believed he was faking. She told police, I asked him,
are you faking? She rolled him over and noticed his
eyelids were pale. She began performing CPR called nine to
one one. He suffered organ and soft tissue damage, liver

(24:29):
and lung hemorrhaging, and other injuries. Autopsy revealed his death
was mechanical asphyxia and the manner of death is homicide.
The neighbor whose house he was at told officers that

(24:53):
he ran to the house and asked the neighbor to
adopt him because his parents hit him in the face.
Neighbors said she did not observe any injuries to the boy.
He probably was referring to other occasions. Wilson then came
and took the child back. Perhaps the neighbor feels tremendous

(25:14):
amount of guilt at this point. Dakota was four foot
ten ninety one pounds, ten years of age. Wilson four
foot eleven three hundred and forty pounds. She sat on

(25:35):
a ninety one pound child and killed him. I wrote,
my rundown, She did not do that, Yeah she did.
And I'm always curious why I come across stories so

(25:59):
often often wear foster families, and there's some amazing foster
parents out there, But why are there so many that
are abusive people? Is it because they couldn't have children
on their own and they and they just they then
take it out on whoever they're fostering. And you know

(26:23):
what's interesting, And I was talking about this with my
wife yesterday. Isn't it interesting how you see that sometimes
with foster pet owners, people who foster pets, that they're
found abusing those pets, they get hundreds of them, dozens
of them, whatever, and they and they're found dead or

(26:45):
malnourished or beaten chained. If by chance, you're a foster
your parent listening to this, please, in the name of God,
make sure your heart's right. If you're not up to it,

(27:12):
make the people, the authorities aware and protect that child.
Forty eight minutes.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Past them, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right,
that was a downer. That story was an absolute Debbie Downer,
it was so come on, let's pick it up a

(27:41):
little bit here.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Nothing. Sorry. Few things bring joy as when I hear
that Randy Weingarten is upset at something, the head of
the Teachers' Union. I just makes me so happy because
when she's upset, I know it's good. It's funny. There

(28:03):
are people that are barometers that way for us. Well
they're mad, this ought to be good. Or if they're happy, oh,
we better be careful, right, I mean, that's just it's like,
if Satan's celebrating, I need to be a little nervous. Consequently,

(28:26):
if Satan's unhappy, yeah, come on, get some of that.
Sort of the way I think of Randy Weingarten, she's
Satan to education. She and the Teachers' Union are the

(28:48):
worst thing for your students. No, she's not unredeemable. Jesus
loves her regardless of her lifestyle choice. Jesus loves her.
But she's losing her ever loving mind over the fact
that the Department of Education is sort of kind of

(29:13):
being prepared to be shuttered. It's a disaster symbolically as
much as it's a disaster in reality. I'm really angry
about this. I'm really angry. I mean, she's dah dah,
she's screaming. I love it, I absolutely love it. I

(29:37):
talked about Linda McMahon, the Education Secretary. American education can
be the greatest in the world. It ought not be
corrupted by political ideology, special interest, and unjust discrimination. Parents, teachers,
and students alike deserve better. This review of our program
is long overdue. Listen to this. The Department of Education

(30:00):
is not working as intended. Did you realize it wasn't
developed until nineteen eighty. Taxpayers have entrusted the department with
over one trillion dollars, yet student outcomes have consistently languished.

(30:25):
You know what this is really all about and why
we have to get rid of it. It's not just
the drain on our tax dollars. It's at every dollar
that comes from the federal government. Back down has been
with strings attached. You must do it our way or
you don't get the money. It's our money. It's our money,

(30:49):
so wind it down and let's watch the teachers' union.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Really suffer. Love teachers hate the Union.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Starting the second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott,
He's ose I'm Preston and rascheated to leave the only
member of the House, listen to me, the only member
of the House to vote against a proposal to focus

(31:32):
on the what one hundred and eighty some odd cartel
tunnels that have been dug into our country? She opposed it.
How she's allowed to remain in Congress. Iilhann Omar is

(31:53):
just the electorate in those districts are just loons. Anyway.
I saved this piece from last week from our friend
Scott Beacon of the Beeline blogger. Scott is a meticulous researcher.
If I'm not going to rerack his bio, he's just

(32:18):
he's got analytical chops and we have him on the
show from time to time. But he took a deep
dive into the Ukraine War with Russia and brought some
perspective in data that I thought was very, very interesting
and I wanted to share it. He points out the

(32:40):
obvious Putin's a bad person. That said, he also reminds
that it was the Biden administration that was in office
when this conflict broke out. Now why, because there was

(33:02):
a lot of chatter about Ukraine joining NATO and Biden
did nothing to tamp that down, and Putin couldn't allow
that to happen. But what he does here is Scott
puts into context why And he asked this question, pointing

(33:23):
out Ukrainian borders with Russia. How would the United States
feel if Canada or Mexico were talking with China about
a mutual defense package, if China was coming close to
our borders? And he goes on to say, Ukraine has

(33:46):
incredible strategic value because it's Russia's access to the Black Sea.
It shares the largest border with Russia and Eastern Europe.
And then he goes on the list listen to this,
Listen to this list of former Soviet Union countries Poland,

(34:10):
Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro,
North Macedonia. You know what those countries have in common?

(34:30):
There are former Soviet Union nations that are now members
of NATO. NATO's existence revolves around you attack one, you
attack all. It clearly was not going to allow Ukraine

(34:54):
to be part of NATO as well. He also points
this out, I didn't know this, he said it should
be remembered that when the Soviet Union collapsed and discussions
were underway about reunification of Germany. If you recall, there
was East Germany and there was West Germany, there were

(35:15):
two countries. West Germany was the western version, East was
the under Soviet control Russian control. There were suggestions made
to the Russians by US Secretary of State Baker and
German's foreign minister that NATO would not expand eastward by

(35:36):
one inch. No treaty was signed, but Russians took it
as a breach of the gentlemen's agreement when NATO expanded
so greatly. Now think about it. Listen to that list
that I read of nations. Imagine now your putin. You
knew there was an agreement that NATO wasn't going to

(35:56):
expand period, and yet look at all those nations, fourteen
of them. So as much as we want to talk about,
and correctly so, the evils of communism in Russia, the
fact of the matter is we made promises and didn't honor.

(36:19):
And so if your Putin would you feel a little
threatened a little bit, I want to give you a
backstory of something you didn't know happened prior to the
Ukraine War. Share that next ten past the hour reading
something from Scott Beacon to the Bline Blogger in the

(36:39):
Ukrainian War with Russia.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on news Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Since there's still a war, and since Democrats are wringing
their hands and whining and complaining about Trump's efforts, I
thought it was good to get further context on what's
going on there, and I'm sharing information that is part

(37:15):
of the public record that's out there. Compiled by Scott
Beacon to the Bline Blogger. He notes that Jeffrey Sachs
a very liberal global economist who's been working in Russia
as they transition from being the Soviet Union to now Russia,

(37:36):
but understanding that Russia's trying to bring the boys back
together again and get the Soviet Union a thing again.
He made this statement before the EU Parliament and he
points to NATO as the cause of the Russian invasion

(37:59):
in twenty twenty one one. This is Sachs. I had
an hour call with Jake Sullivan and the White House
begging Jake avoid the war. All you have to do
is say NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine. He said, no, no, no,
we can't say it publicly. Don't worry, Jeff, there will
be no war. One of the great miscalculations of all time.

(38:27):
From a historical perspective, did you know that Ukraine was
part of the Soviet Union for two hundred of the
last two hundred and forty years, So it being independent
is a fairly recent development, and the reason why the
war is continued, right, Scott, is almost solely because the

(38:48):
United States wanted it to continue and was willing to
pay for it. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been
sent to fund the war. It also propped up government bureaucracy.
See did you know that some of the money we've
sent over there has paid for pensions for government employees
in the Ukraine. We have assisted because we wanted Russia

(39:15):
to be weakened militarily and financially in what you could
best describe it as a proxy war. The casualty numbers
what a million. However, polling across Europe shows Europe's not

(39:35):
interested in sending its sons and daughters into war. I
doubt the United States left the Democrats so upset and
angry over Trump's work here, I doubt they want their
sons or daughters going to war, and so you then

(39:58):
have to just get to some bottom lines here. Three
years into the war, Ukraine can't win. It just doesn't
have the manpower, it doesn't have the the the the
military strength, the technology. They just they can't win. And
what's really sad is that apparently there was a deal

(40:19):
ready to be done in twenty twenty two that would
have offered better terms than any agreement that we get now.
Ukraine would have ended things much better, stronger and with
more territory had they negotiated then, had we been in

(40:42):
the position that we're in now trying to broker a
deal versus funding the war, we're a war with Russia.
It's just a proxy war, and we're I mean, if
you look at the polling of Sweden, Denmark, Britain, Germany,
Spain and Branch which Scott does, there is no support,

(41:04):
there is zero support for this. In fact, any negotiated
piece at this point is going to favor Russia more
now than it would have two to three years ago
when a deal was on the table. I just thought
it was useful to get a little bit broader perspective
of this, and I thank Scott Beacon of the b

(41:24):
Line Blogger for providing that context for us. If you
are interested, it's interesting reading every time Bline Blogger dot
blogspot dot com sixteen minutes past the hour back with

(41:46):
more this was it's really funny. I just I had
to just take a peek at Dylan mulvaney on the View.

(42:12):
He's the dude that set off the controversy because he's
a trans woman, and bud Light actually hired this clown
to be its spokesperson for a season, and it just
it destroyed Anheuser Busch. It just killed him. I don't

(42:33):
know if it's recovered from it. I don't know if
they've managed to win beer drinkers back. But Whoopy Goldberg
on the View asked, because there's been all of this
debate about whether transgender athletes should be able to compete,
and last week California Governor Gaven Newsom City thinks the
trans athletes competing in girls and women's sports was deeply unfair.

(43:00):
So she wanted mulvaney to reply. To respond, listen to
what he said. I played a sport. I was six
years old and I was on a soccer team, but
I assigned myself as the nurse, sat with the band aids.
And so in the words of Wicked, I'm not that girl.

(43:23):
But a dear friend of mine, Skyler, he is a
trans athlete. His handle is pink Man Ray. That's someone
who I really look to for guidance, and I think
that is what's tricky, is like now I'm stepping in
this identity. I'm still like a baby trans. I've only
three years in Tomorrow's my anniversary. And then the crowd

(43:47):
applauds and he never answers it. They didn't push him,
he didn't answer. It's enlightening. Here's a dude that's a

(44:11):
transgendered woman, i e. A man pretending to be a woman,
and he has nothing to say, literally nothing. He danced
and danced and danced and danced until he said something,
and the audience bailed him out with some applause. Newsom
admitted that the issue was political suicide for Democrats see

(44:34):
Gavin Newsom's rehabbing himself for a presidential run in twenty
twenty eight. He wants to be the Democrat nominee, and
so he's trying to put himself as a more reasonable Democrat,
even though he's been among the worst of the worst

(44:55):
as a progressive. See no matter what progressives say, men
have advantages over women, whether they take shots, whether they
have surgeries or not, they have advantages. They retain advantages.

(45:19):
What's interesting, and is pointed out by Jeff Charles at
town Hall is that while progressives and illiberals and most
Democrats have this empathy for transgenders, and I don't disagree

(45:40):
with the need for empathy. You've long heard us discuss
on this program, the need for those suffering from gender
dysphoria to get counseling, to not be ridiculed. And you know,
to me, you only are are worthy of some level
of ridicule if you are stridently out there trying to
suggest that it's normal and that you know we have

(46:01):
to accept you in your pronouns. Sorry, but where's the
empathy for women and girls? And why the sudden silence
that's not so sudden? Is it from the women's lib movement,
the group that rush called feminazis, where'd they go? Why

(46:29):
are they not talking about the robbed victories, the robbed opportunities,
the robbed scholarships, the robbed placements of women by men.
How ironic all these years later, we're now The National
Organization for Women has a group that my aunt was

(46:51):
the president of, Suddenly Silence as men invade women's spaces
twenty seven past the hour, new big story in the
press box. Next. We touched on this very briefly yesterday,

(47:29):
and it's the autopen issue with Joe Biden. Our friends
at Heritage Foundation have a group gathered in that it's
called the Oversight Project. They posted this on x whoever
controlled the auto pen controlled the presidency. We gathered every

(47:52):
document we could find with Biden's signature over the course
of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature, except
for the announcement that the former president was dropping out
of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature,
and then they listed the autopen signatures. They showed them. Now.
Autopen signatures are ones that are automatically produced by a

(48:16):
machine as opposed to authentic handwritten signatures. That's what an
autopen signature is. You may, for example, if you're filling
out a lease or a set of documents, you may
get a box that pops up and you have to
use your finger, which is gross because I can't do
a thing with the tip of my finger. I mean,
I'm left handed as it is, so just writing with

(48:37):
a pen is barely legible. Make me use my finger.
I might as well be a first grader with a crayon.
And so you do that, and then you say you
accept it or you don't. And then in the rest
of the documents you click every time you want your

(48:57):
auto pen signature to be noted. And so what they're
pointing out in this and what there are increasing calls
and calls to investigate by members of the House and
the Senate. And perhaps this will come up on Thursday
with former governor now US Senator Rick Scott. You remember

(49:24):
Special Counsel Robert Hurr. He investigated Biden's alleged mishandling of
classified documents that he kept when he was when he
left office as Vice president. He wrote, and I quote,
Biden's a sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

(49:50):
We know that the White House staff, his wife, his family,
the the press secretary, they were all covering for him. Schumer,
Pelosi all covering for him. You remember when Barack Obama

(50:13):
was leading him by the wrist off stage during a
fundraiser because Biden was getting lost and confused. The Italian
Prime Minister Georgia Maloney had to guide Biden back to
a group of world leaders because he was wandering off
at a g seventh summit. I mean literally, he was

(50:35):
seen on video wandering away and she just gently grabbed
him by the arm and pulled him back. So what's
happened now is Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has
sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking for
an investigation as to whether quote Biden's cognitive decline allowed

(50:57):
unelected staff to push through radical power without his knowing approval.
We mentioned this as well. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House,
recounted that Biden didn't remember signing an order freezing new
liquid natural gas exports in twenty twenty four. Biden said
to Johnson, this is Johnson. Now, he was there. Biden said,

(51:21):
I didn't do that. Johnson, Sir, you paused it. I
know I have the export terminals in my state. I
talk to the people in my state. I talked to
those people this morning. It's doing massive damage to our
economy and national security. Johnson writes, I walked out of
that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought we're

(51:43):
in serious trouble. Who is running the country. Now here's
where it gets real interesting, which I touched on yesterday.
This potentially makes every one of those presidential pardons null
and void. Think of the scope of who was included

(52:07):
in that elected members of Congress. This is at the
core of what was going on for the last four years.
I told you he was the resident. I told you

(52:27):
was Obama running things. I think he was, but he
still had others doing it for him. That put the
auto pen signature in play. We need to know who
was running this country. Forty one minutes after the hour,
manly minute more coming up next, actually got ahead of

(52:55):
myself Manly Minute next segment. I mentioned Dylan mulvaney on
the View and his unanswer on women being forced to
compete against men in sports trans women. Listen to what

(53:15):
Hakim Jeffrey said on the topic. I'm gonna quote Matt
Vespa because he Matt Vespa said, and I quote he
has become the male version of Kamala Harris. He may
not serve up words, salads or come off as mentally
challenged like his counterpart from California. But my word, the

(53:39):
stuff that comes out of his mouth is weapons grade idiocy.
That's a brilliant line, weapons grade idiocy. He was asked.
Gavin Newsom said Democrats were in the wrong by allowing
men to play women's sports. What's your response. First of all,

(54:02):
kudos to the reporter for breaking it down so simply
allowing men to play women's sports. It's more accurate to
say allowing men to compete against women in sports. And again,
we're not talking about a battle of the sexes. We're
not talking about, you know, something where there's an obvious

(54:26):
competition a' llah Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King, which
still was. By the way, she got to play the
doubles court. He had to play the singles court, and
he was a geriatric while she was in the prime
of her career. I'm just saying, but the reporter, Gavin
Newsom said Democrats were in the wrong by allowing men

(54:48):
to play women's sports. What's your response. Listen to what
this is the minority leader for the House of Representatives.
What Democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout
the the United States of America. What do you oppose

(55:14):
men competing against women in sports? What Democrats opposed was
unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout the United States of America.
What the heck is that he's actually parroting something that
Alexandria Cassio Cortez, member of Congress from New York Democrat,

(55:42):
has been saying, what you opposed the bill because sex
predators would be unleashed. That makes no sense. And this

(56:05):
is where the mainstream media is just lacking because there
are very few out there that would do what I
just did. Wait what, no, no, no, no, what did
you just say? What are you talking about? And to

(56:28):
be honest with you, that's why illiberals and Democrats by
and large don't come on this show. They're invited, they
don't want to be asked the follow up question. People

(56:49):
who know me know I'll be polite to people that
I completely disagree with, but I will ask questions. Wait,
what as politically incorrect as this? As this is okay?
And I know that it is Someone posted online called

(57:10):
the redheaded Libertarian. I need someone fluent in retard to
diagram this headline. In other words, what in the world
is he talking about that's just absolute insanity. But that's
where we are forty seven minutes past the hour, and yes,

(57:34):
I'm going to continue to bring this up until we
settle this problem. This made me laugh because WNBA player

(57:54):
Angel Reeves just can't help herself. She and some of
the other players, they just don't get it. And I
sound like just such a misogynist as I even say
this stuff, but it's it's fact based. By and large.

(58:18):
Unless Caitlin Clark is playing, no one cares about the WNBA.
There are some wonderful women's basketball players that are throughout
that league, of all colors, of all ethnicities, great skill sets,
but the women's game has not caught on. Maybe it

(58:42):
will one day, it hasn't yet. It has been propped
up by the NBA. It has been paid for by
the NBA. So when she talks about that they might
sit out games until they get a better collective bargaining
agreement and better pay. No one will care this league

(59:04):
that they've started this two on two or three on
three league or whatever it is that they're doing to
augment their salaries. Good for you, but no one's watching.
People don't care. I'm sorry, she's out there. I'm just
gonna read her quotes. The NBA don't pay my bills
at all. I don't even think it pays one of

(59:25):
my bills. Literally, this is Angel Rees, who you could
argue is made a living off of being the foil
to Caitlin Clark, that without Caitlin Clark, no one cares
about Angel Rees. I mean, you could make that argument.
And so she gets out there and she's called out

(59:47):
for saying that that they want to be paid like
NBA players. She said, I never said anything like this,
never said anything about the NBA. We're preparing. You got
to say something about the NBA, because the is what's
paying for you to have a league. The WNBA suffered
incredible financial losses if it's even breaking even thank you

(01:00:09):
very much to the NBA. You're welcome, is what would
be a thank you would be appropriate. She admitted back
in October that she couldn't pay her bills according to
the HEWNBA salary. I'm living beyond my means. Hating pays
them bills. Baby, I just hope you know. WNBA don't

(01:00:32):
pay my bills at all. I don't even think it
pays one of my bills. Literally, I'm trying to think
of my rent where I'm at. Let me do the
math real quick. I don't even know my WNBA salary.
What seventy four thousand?

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Baby?

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
If y'all thought the WNBA check don't pay a thing,
didn't even pay my car note, I wouldn't be able
to eat a sandwich with that, wouldn't be able to
eat How many people living on fifty thousand dollars would
love a piece of that seventy four? And what did
she say? Living beyond my means? That's your problem, girlfriend,

(01:01:10):
That is your problem. That is not our problem. I've
just blown through the man the minute. That's all right,
I'll catch up next week on it. But it's just
I like watching women's basketball, and I'm frustrated watching women's

(01:01:34):
basketball because there's fourteen thousand jump balls and they fall
on the ground all the time. But when they play
it well, it's fun to watch. Big fan, love the game.
But don't compare yourself. It's like live golf. You're not
PGA golf, your exhibition golf. Don't compare yourself. Just be

(01:01:54):
you be happy to be you be happy. There's a
professional option. Be happy that you have endorsements that pay
you far more. Justin Haskins joins us next year on
the Morning Show at Preston Scott on the radio yet again,

(01:02:23):
third hour Tuesday on the Morning Show March eleventh, Show
fifty three to thirty three. Jose, can you see over
there in Studio one A. I'm here in Study one B,
and I am joined by our friend on the Left Coast.
He is Justin Haskins, Senior fellow, Heartland Institute, authors books
with Glenn Beck, and website Stoppingsocialism dot Com. Hello, my friend,

(01:02:46):
how are you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
I'm doing very well. I was doing better and then
you remind me I live on the Left Coast and
now not doing quite as well. But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
But I forget about it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
It's often very pretty, if not rainy and wet.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
That's true. It's gorgeous here. It's full of lunatics, but gorgeous.
That's the trade off. That's the trade off.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Talk about feeling like a pair of brown shoes and
a room full of tuxedos, yeah, which.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Is pretty common around here. By the way, people don't
like to dress up on the Left Coast.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I know, I know, Justin, how excited should we be?
I find myself, as a much older man now as
excited about what we're learning. Yes, horrified too, But what doge?
What doge is uncovering that, and what it's doing in

(01:03:42):
states across the country that are mimicking it. I think
it might be one of the most significant things that's
ever happened in government in my lifetime.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
It's it's it really is remarkable to see what conservatives
have been saying for so long is true being proven
true by an actual investigation. And it's amazing to watch
the Democrats rally around this idea that we shouldn't be
cutting waste and fraud and abuse and worried about dead

(01:04:15):
people receiving benefits that they don't deserve, and worried about corruption.
None of that should matter. I mean, that's like their
official position at this point is that we just shouldn't care.
In fact, it's somehow shredding the constitution to even look
into how taxpayer funds are being spent. It's unbelievable and fantastic.
I agree. I think I think we are just seeing
the tip of the iceberg. I think the more they dig,

(01:04:38):
the more time they have to look at what's really
going on. We're going to find all kinds of corruption,
and yes, taxpayer money will be saved. It's not going
to be anywhere near enough to fix the debt problem
we had in this country. But I don't really think
DOGE is about that. I think this is more about

(01:04:59):
holding gu and government bureaucrats responsible and accountable to the
people who pay their salaries. And I think that's good enough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Justin I read a piece from Jeffrey Tucker of the
Brownstone Institute. I want to say he made a fascinating point.
Any any and I'm curious what your reaction to this
observation is. Does it matter that the people largely leading
this effort happen to be refugees from the Democrat Party.

(01:05:29):
Trump is a refugee from the Democrat Party. Elon Musk
is a refugee of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
Yeah. So I've thought about this a lot, and I
think what we're seeing right now in political science they
call it political realignment. We're seeing a realignment occur, and
it's not just about politics. It's really about ideology in
a lot of ways. There's a lot of people who
were on the sort of the center left, like Elon Musk,

(01:06:01):
who was a big supporter of Barack Obama. Yeah one time,
Joe Rogan. You know people like this who was a
Bernie Sanders guy, who are realizing that the corruption and
the power that has existed in Washington, d C. And
an in state capitals has become so great that it

(01:06:21):
has to be at least to some extent dismantled. And
that is a significant political alignment. And there's other things too,
like trade and other things that really have changed. And
so I do think it's extremely important to see to
see that it really isn't just oh well, this is

(01:06:41):
the far right imposingness on everyone else. No, this whole
mission is being led by a guy who was a
Barack Obama supporter, not by someone on the far right.
So I do think that's important for the American people
to see that, Look, there is a lot of corruption
in government, there is a lot of authoritarianism. There does
need to be something that has to be done about this,
And there are people You don't necessarily have to be

(01:07:04):
a hardcore right winger to believe that. You could be
someone who agrees mostly with me on Musk, who doesn't
agree with me on all sorts of things like climate change,
you know, and the benefits of electric vehicles and a
whole bunch of other things. But what we do agree
on is that the government needs to be held accountable
to its citizens and it's not. And I think that

(01:07:28):
that is a great point by mister Tucker. However, I
am a little bit worried by that as well, because
Trump is very dependent politically on this sort of coalition
that he's built with the center left, and over time,
my concern is that the center left is going to

(01:07:50):
sort of move the Republican Party further to the left
on a lot of issues. I'm also concerned that if
Democrats ever get their act together and they realize that
they need to sort of infuse some common sense into
their operations, which might never happen, but if they ever
realize it, they could probably win those people back with

(01:08:10):
a common sense candidate on the center left. And so
there are problems with this coalition that's being built as well,
but right now I think it's a really good thing
for the American people to see.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Justin Haskins with me back with more here on The
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Justin Haskins with the Hartland Institute my guests this morning
on the program, Justin, we I think at this point
most everybody in America knows about DEI. They know what
the acronym stands for, because there's been so much focused
in the first fifty days of the Trump administration. Are
you concerned that we're losing sight of ESG and remind

(01:09:02):
our listeners what that stands for.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Yeah, So, ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. It's
a kind of social credit scoring system that's imposed primarily
on businesses, but it can also be imposed on whole countries,
it can be imposed on individuals. And essentially what it
seeks to do is to place a score, a value,

(01:09:26):
a social credit score on entities based on non financial metrics.
So instead of measuring a business based on justice, profit
and loss and customer satisfaction and traditional business metrics like that,
you would evaluate the business on those things. Plus does
it support left wing causes in its community? Does it

(01:09:48):
battle climate change? Does it limit its water consumption, et cetera.
And so it's a really dangerous thing because it's a
systematic way of transforming society through the financial system through
interaction with government and private entities using government contracts and
things like that. And for a long time, the last

(01:10:11):
decade or so, the left has slowly been sort of
imposing this into a variety of it depends on the situation,
but in a variety of different ways throughout the economy,
primarily through big asset managers like black Rock and people
like that. And they've been moving the country to the

(01:10:32):
left through ESG, imposing it on big corporations. And what
I've been fighting for and what we've been talking about
on this show for a long time, is stopping the
use of ESG through the financial system and other things,
because essentially banks and financial managers and others have been

(01:10:52):
using it to force the whole economy to move to
the left, and they shouldn't be doing that. You shouldn't
be denied access to a bank account, for Examsmple because
you don't agree with the bank on climate change. But
that's exactly the kind of thing that they are allowed
to do. So DEI has been getting all the headlines
DEI programs and colleges, DEI programs and governments and all

(01:11:14):
of that. It's similar to ESG, except ESG is the
thing that actually is being used with money. So that's
the thing that has teeth. It's not just a program
that exists at a college. It's something that's being used
by financial institutions and others to actually impose these values
on other people that don't have the program. And so

(01:11:34):
it's a really dangerous thing. And I think that Donald
Trump understands that. I think Republicans understand it, but so
far they haven't taken actual tangible action against it yet.
There's been legislation that's been proposed to stop ESG and banking,
called the Fair Access Bill, Fair Access to Banking Act,

(01:11:55):
and I hope it passes. There's a lot of support
from Republicans in the House and in the Senate for that,
but it hasn't moved yet. Donald Trump could pass the
regulation that stops banking from doing this. That hasn't happened yet,
although I suspect he might. And there's been a lot
of action at the state level, but not as much
going on at the federal level yet. And I wish

(01:12:18):
that that would become a bigger issue than the DEI
issue because of how authoritarian it is. DEI is bad
for a variety of reasons, but it's not necessarily authoritarian,
but this is an authoritarian idea.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Justin Haskins with us from the Heartland Institute. More to
come here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twenty
two passed the hour final segment here it just moves
too fast. Justin Haskins with us from the Heartland Institute.

(01:12:55):
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Justin. Congress
Woman Cat Camick is a regular guests now on the show.
She's not our congressional representative where we live, necessarily, but
she's the only one in Florida that does not allow,
and does not accept, and does not ask for any pork.
She challenges other members of the Republican Caucus inside the

(01:13:16):
Sunshine State to join her. So far she's alone, but
she and Ran Paul have co sponsored the Rains Act,
which brings a certain degree of accountability. But she also
broke out something to me in the last visit that
I couldn't believe. She said justin that none of the bureaucrats,
none of the people that actually work in Congress, have

(01:13:37):
a background check, and so she is proposing legislation to
require background checks for everybody that works as a legislative
aid or any level of bureaucrat inside the Beltway.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
I think that's great. I think they absolutely should do that.
Why should the rules be different for members of Congress
and their stiff And of course, the rules are different
on all sorts of things. They've been different on health insurance,
They've been different on those kinds of things. They're different
on on a variety of different levels. But that's one

(01:14:14):
of those things where you know, once again, how is
this the first that I'm hearing about this?

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
That's you know, that's the point.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
Incredible, she said.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
She said to me in a break, she said, did
you know that members that work for the House in
the Senate don't have to go through a background check?
I said, you're kidding me. She said, aha, she said,
I've not said that to one person that said that.
Oh yeah, I knew that. No one knows it, nobody.
And that's why Alexandri Cossio Cortez had an aid working
for her that was illegally in this country and he's

(01:14:45):
self deported back to Columbia.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Right, And I did hear about that story. And that's
and that's exactly the point. For all these years for
all these decades, we've had Republicans in Congress and in
the White House, frankly, who have not taken the issues
that we have seriously and really have presented themselves as

(01:15:08):
sort of champions of the conservative cause and limited government
and all of that, but in reality they were just
slogans on flyers that they handed out and TV commercials
they produced, but they didn't actually do the things. I mean,
surely she's not the first congress person to realize this.
So how many hundreds or thousands of Republicans over the

(01:15:29):
past several decades knew that and just didn't care didn't
do anything about it. I mean, this is we desperately
need what is happening right now, which is a revolution
in the Republican Party, a complete transformation of our mission
and goals to the things that we thought the Republicans
were for in the past but apparently weren't.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
It's the least radical, radical revolution in the history of
a political party. We just want them to do what
we asked them to do three decades ago and thought
they were doing but actually weren't. And it is finally
starting to happen because we've gotten beginning with the tea
Party movement back in the Obama days, going all the
way up to today. It has taken a long time

(01:16:14):
to get rid of a lot of the dead weight
in the Republican Party and a lot of the closeted Democrats.
But we are finally getting there. And good for Cat Cammick.
That's a great story.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Tell me this justin as you well know anyone who
listens to a show like this, Yeah, there are exceptions.
There are people that are on the other side philosophically
and politically. But you're preaching to the choir. But what
should the choir be doing. That's the most effective thing
to do in support of pushing back on ESG, in
support of these types of bills that Congresswoman Caemick are

(01:16:46):
pushing out, or just in general.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Yeah, I think the most important thing that you can
do on any issue is to call your lawmaker. People
think that that doesn't matter, but it actually matters a lot.
They track that both at the congressional level and especially
at the local level. They're very concerned by it. Actually
doesn't take a ton of calls to get people's attention
in those offices. Don't email, call yep and be very

(01:17:14):
respectful and kind and just say, look, this is my priority.
These are the things I think are important. But if
members of Congress get a bunch of phone calls in
a day, that does move the needle. It does impact
them because they want to stay in office. That's what
a lot of politicians number one goal is. And if
they think that staying in office means fighting ESG and

(01:17:37):
doing the right things and eliminating corruption and supporting what
Doge's mission is, then they will do it. But they
have to believe that and the only way they'll believe
it is if they hear from their voters, their constituents.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
And if they're a Republican that's in Congress, they need
to fear being primary, which is why you have to
hold them accountable.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Exactly. They're not worried about general election, but they are
worried about the kind of person that calls up a
conservative calls them up on the phone and says you
need to do something. They are worried about that person
in the primary voting for another candidate. That takes it
more seriously, and frankly, we need more good people running
for office. Yes, at the state and local level especially,

(01:18:18):
but at the federal level too.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Justin, you're one of my heroes. Brother. Thanks so much
for what you do. I appreciate you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
Thanks, Preston, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
That was Justin Haskins with us this morning from the
Heartland Institute Stoppingsocialism dot com and of course co authors
a lot of books with Glenn Beck. But he's our friend,
and that's on top of the resume here in the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
On News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
It sounds so ethereal.

Speaker 4 (01:19:13):
It sounds as though I must wax eloquent on something,
eh while sitting on my drafting chair with their fine
Corinthian leather, the rich smell of musk in the studio
or not.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Thirty six past the hour quickly the big stories in
the press box, Doctor Robert Malone writing about the meetup
between Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior and some
of the big hitters in the food industry, General Mills
and PepsiCo, among others. It's being derided, but the pressure

(01:19:58):
is on to do some si looking at the impact
of seed oils and foods and the ingredients in processed
foods in particular making them healthier. I'm all for it,
just so I can keep eating my Cheetos. Baby, Come on,
Cheetos and barbecue chips. Yeah, yeah, now, I I think

(01:20:23):
it's smart. I think that Kennedy is is very seriously
focused and targeted on things impacting the health of millions
of Americans, and he's simply challenging what's going on. Understand,

(01:20:46):
the pressure in the agriculture industry against Kennedy is huge
because I mean seed oils, seeds. I mean, we're talking
something that's almost universally, first of all, on all plant
based foods because they rely on the seed oils for fat.

(01:21:08):
And if you look at the ingredient labels on about everything,
you're gonna find seed oils and there are just healthier options.
And I for one, don't think it will impact the
agriculture industry as much as they think, because there's like
the entire world that needs food. You just export more

(01:21:35):
if it's not as needed. But best as I can tell,
I mean there's some that could switch to chickens. I'm
just saying. I know I'm being stupid, because you know,
growing crops is different than producing animals. I get that,
but you know, I'm just anyway, I think this is

(01:21:57):
good news. I think it's very good news. And questions
being raised on Joe Biden's use of the autopen and
not so much Joe Biden's use, but who was using it.
There is a call for an investigation. Missouri's Attorney General's
asking the Department of Justice to look into whether there
were things allegedly signed by the president that weren't signed

(01:22:18):
by the president. There is evidence growing that Joe Biden
was not aware of much of what was signed in
his name by the Autopen, and there's a reason to
look at it, and it could be remarkably important as
relates to say, oh, I don't know presidential pardons, that

(01:22:42):
maybe he didn't sign that bureaucrats signed, or somebody told
the bureaucrats to sign it on his behalf and Biden
knows nothing about it. And let's face it, Biden doesn't
know much about anything. And I'm not slamming in his intellect,
which has always been questionable. I'm slamming his cognitive abilities. Anyway,

(01:23:06):
those are the big stories in the press box. Forty
minutes past the hour, come back A little money talk
standing by Howard Eisman waiting in the wings time for
little money talk. We are joined by investment advisor Howard
Heisman with Enhanced Financial Services securities in and off advisory

(01:23:29):
services offered through NBC Securities Inc. Member Finner and SIPC.
NBC Securities Inc. Is a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC
Bank USA. The opinions expressed or not those of NBC

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
Why lie so you lay them money?

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Howard? For the uninitiated, remind everybody, or teach everybody, what
the term bullish and bearish means in the world of stocks.

Speaker 6 (01:24:06):
Sure, the person with a bullish perspective is anticipating and
hoping that stocks are going to move up. Bearish just
the opposite. Someone with a bearish view is not optimistic
at all, is very negative about the outlet.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
What are observers seeing in the marketplace right now, say,
as opposed to recently?

Speaker 6 (01:24:31):
Sure, there was a real shift, Preston. I think that
began when stocks hit an all time high in mid February,
and by the end of last month, the bearish sentiment
had spiked from forty percent to sixty percent in a
weekly survey that's been done for decades by the American

(01:24:54):
Association of Individual Investors and Presston. This was the high
I asked bearish or negative perspective on the part of
investors since the bottom of the last bear market, which
was in early October of twenty two, And it actually

(01:25:15):
was the seventh highest negative vote by individual investors going
all the way back to nineteen eighty seven. So certainly
something to keep an eye on. And again one of
the highest levels just means folks have become pessimistic after

(01:25:36):
being very, very optimistic just a relatively short while ago.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Yeah, we had warned prior to the new year that
with the new administration coming that there was a lot
of heavy lifting to be done and things were not
going to be easy over the next four years, and
perhaps we're seeing the beginning of that. You know, one
other area where this is showing up, Howard, is people
living just pain rent and so forth. What what are

(01:26:00):
rent numbers looking like right now?

Speaker 6 (01:26:03):
Well, they're very, very challenging, particularly for folks that are working,
but maybe towards the lower end of the wage scale.
The premise for decades, Preston has been the folks, whether
they're single or with families, should be spending no more
than thirty percent of their take home earnings on their housing.

(01:26:28):
And if you look at the average minimum wage worker,
that individual would have to work one hundred and six
hours a week to be able to afford a median
priced rental apartment, which nowadays is gone for about sixteen
hundred dollars. And that sixteen hundred dollars for that apartment

(01:26:53):
would require that worker basically to work about three times
more than the average national work week today, which is
around thirty four hours a week.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:27:05):
Yeah, Yeah, it's a big it's a big lift, and
it's actually when we look at housing in general, that's
one of the concerns that we've talked about before, and
I'm not sure that that one has played out. So
that's one to I think really keep a close eye
on is this year and in the next year plays out.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
We've got about a minute left. Let's talk about the
you know, we talk about discretionary income and how people
that are earning minimum wage they obviously have far less,
if any, discretionary income. What are the numbers showing us
on those that are earning a lot of money versus
those that are not, and who's saving what?

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
Sure, Well, here's what the numbers say. Households in the
top ten percent of annual income this past year accounted
for fifty percent of all spending. And you know, we're
still very much consumer oriented economy. That's a big, big deal.
And that fifty percent number on the part of the

(01:28:09):
higher income earners is up from about thirty six percent
thirty years ago. So let's go back a few years, Preston.
Since the start of the pandemic, households in the top
ten percent of annual income ready for this number, have
accrued excess savings more than they need of one point

(01:28:34):
three trillion, compared to those that are in the bottom
ninety percent of income earners, who have accrued about three
hundred million. Obviously, that's not per household the collectively, so
big big gap. And of course, I think when you
look back to the last election, frankly, it was really

(01:28:55):
decided by folks in the working class the middle class
that decide at the election, and right now I think
those are the folks that are particularly hurting right now.

Speaker 1 (01:29:07):
Howard is always great data, and we'll talk again in
a couple of weeks look.

Speaker 6 (01:29:10):
Forward to Preston have a great rest of the week, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
Thank you. Howard Eisman with us this morning on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott Real quickly and closing. This

(01:29:34):
is Funny London Comedy Club, Top Secret Comedy Club. They've
got two locations. The owner is now face checking everybody
who comes in, not screening for criminals, looking for botox.
He will not allow anybody in the club that has

(01:29:55):
had botox injections. I've had numerou complaints from performers who
find it increasingly challenging to gauge audience engagement and bounce
off their reactions. Comedy thrives on connection. Facial expressions play
a huge part, but frozen faces from botox impact the
entire atmosphere. So before someone's allowed in to attend a

(01:30:18):
comedy show, they have to smile, and if they can't,
they don't get let into the club. Crazy thought, alternative
way of looking at this. Could it be that because
you're in the woke UK, you just don't have anybody

(01:30:41):
who's funny anymore. I'm just wondering.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Started the day with Second Timothy four versus sixteen and seventeen.
That's where we began. The radio program. Had a great
conversation with Justin Haskins, as we always do. That interview
will be a conversations podcast as well as be part
of them morning show podcast, Big Store in the press Box.
The auto pen signature Biden appears on most official documents,

(01:31:20):
but he doesn't seem to recall signing much of anything.
So who was signing him? Who is putting Biden's signature
to things? An investigation is being called for by the
Department of Justice from the Attorney General of Missouri, Kennedy
and Make America Healthy Again meeting up with the Titans

(01:31:46):
of the food industry talking about seed oils, processed foods.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
A lot of people nervous about that one.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
I'm loving it. I think it's awesome. I would love
to not have to read so many labels. You take
one look at me and you're like, you read labels? Really? Yeah,
I know, I do. Angel Reese and WNBA player saying

(01:32:16):
that the players of the WNBA might sit out games
to negotiate higher salaries. Good luck with that, because no
one will care Hakeem Jefferies said, the dumbest thing regarding
trans athletes and women's sports, what democrats opposed was unleashing

(01:32:37):
sexual predators on girls throughout the United States of America.
That's kind of what we're saying, isn't it Just anyway,

Russia and Ukraine Ukraine.
