Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah, that's right. What's up everybody? How are you welcome
to Friday in the Morning Show with Preston Scott Hessia.
I'm Preston. He'll go by the moniker toothless today and
we'll explain as the show goes on. Our verse today
comes from Jeremiah seventeen seven. Blessed is the man woman

(00:28):
who trusts in the Lord. And this is where it's curious.
Whose trust is the Lord? I, in my mind, right
or wrong, I put an equal in there, that last

(00:54):
part I put it. I turned it into a mathematical equation.
Blessed is the man whose trusts, who trusts, sorry in
the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. What's trust? No, seriously,

(01:18):
do the exercise with me. What is trust isn't trust?
Another word for faith? Whose trust equals the Lord, whose
faith equals the Lord, whose faith is the Lord. The

(01:42):
Lord is your source of your trust and your faith.
And blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
who therefore places whatever he places faith in. It comes
through that singular relationship. Don't trust the things that God

(02:09):
doesn't trust is another way of maybe looking at it,
and that means anything outside of Him don't trust Man,
trust God. Ten past the hour, Come back with a
peek inside the American Patriotomanac. Next on the Morning Show
with Preston's Cut twelve past the hour, Friday. Just getting started,

(02:44):
but we've been at it for a while. Ah, love
my job, love it, love it, love it. Get to
talk about what's going on in the news. Get to
share little history every day. For example, inside the American
Patriots Almanac, March twenty eighth, seventeen seventy six, Spanish explorer

(03:08):
one of Bautista de Anza finds the site where the
Presidio of San Francisco is later built seventeen seventy six.
So while we're getting ready to birth the nation, the
Spanish are on the other side of the country saying, hey,
this looks like a good place. Seventeen ninety seven. Nathaniel

(03:31):
Briggs of New Hampshire Pattents and early washing Machine. Nineteen
twenty three, hundred and eighty people are killed by thirty
eight storms in the Midwest and South in the Palm
Sunday tornado outbreak of nineteen twenty. And it was on
this date in nineteen seventy nine when Three Mile Island

(03:54):
Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania malfunctions, No one's injured. Thousands
flee and we started getting striped colored, weird colored, rainbow
colored salamanders that had twenty five toes and were fourteen
feet long. I'm just kidding. Also, today is National Triglycerides Day. Hey, hey, hey,

(04:23):
so check your triglycerides. When I first heard that word
as a kid, I thought it was some form of
a dinosaur. But that's you know, priceratops. Try glycerides just
sounds like that ought to be. It's National black forest
Cake Day. No, sorry, cherries and a cake. No, No,

(04:48):
I am not a let's put fruit in a cake person.
I'm not a fan of fruit pies in general. This
is gross to me. I mean, I can, on a
ca Hasian handle a bite or two of an apple
pie if you throw a little ice cream near it. Okay,
all right, but even that I just I just never

(05:13):
And to me, a black forest cake is just a
complete ruination of a chocolate cake. So I bear a
bit of a grudge against a black forest cake. But
it is National black forest Cake Day, if you're so inclined.
It's national something on a stick day might be good

(05:35):
for a corn dog to say, I suppose you could
say that a popsicles on a stick, right, marshmallows s'mores mm.
And this is not to be confused with marijuana. It's
National Weed Appreciation Day, and I reject the notion. The

(06:00):
only time I accept weeds are when they're in an
area and they're producing pretty flowers on the side of
a road. Okay, I'll go with that natural kind of
weeds that butterflies like. I'm good with that. That's fine.
But other than that, no, I'm wearing my Harmon Killibrew
jersey little throwback Jersey Day. Twins Opening Day yesterday lost

(06:24):
to the Saint Louis Cardinals five to three. Had to
play at Saint Louis. But Opening Day in baseball just
marks the longest season ever. And I can't stand how
long the baseball season is. I don't pay attention very
often unless my Twins are winning. If the Twins are winning,

(06:45):
I pay attention and I will be talking about it.
If they're not winning, I won't be saying a word.
That's the type of fan I am. Yes it is,
but I'm honoring the great Harmon Killibrew who played with
the Twins. I knew Harmon. Ever, so briefly, when I
was a kid, I used to shag flies at Metropolitan Stadium.

(07:06):
Jim Cott became a friend, Bob Allison a closer friend.
Bob Allison was like my hero when I was a
little guy. But I used to shag balls and flies
out there at Metropolitan Stadium. And when my dad was
a Twins announcer doing radio, I was there all the time.
I was at the met all the time. And so
you know, Tony O leve zoil for Versiah's and Harmon

(07:29):
Killerbrew was the third baseman, then became a first baseman
and oh my gosh, could he hit a home run?
But just a just a delightful man. And so I've
got his jersey. Yeah it's kind of a thing, not his,
but it's you know, it's honors. Seventeen minutes passed the
hour we come back speaking of Harmon Killer Brew.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Stick around. I couldn't do it. I could not bring
myself to do it.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm nuking a couple of little mini sausage biscuits and
they're not really biscuits. They're like little mini sausage sandwiches.
And I'm talking, you know, two bites each and you
know they're they're tiny and sitting on top of the microwave.
Someone and I don't know who, put a bottle of
Frank's Hot Sauce on top of the microwave. Was it you?

(08:29):
Because you look like a Frank's Hot Sauce guy.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm more of a Texas Peak kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, Well, you know, perhaps you've seen the commercials. You know,
I put that bleep on any on everything. You know,
I kind of think it's a little bit coarse, but whatever.
And I just looked at my biscuits and I looked
at the sauce and I was like, nah, nah, don't

(08:54):
do it, don't do it. I didn't. But it's so
funny how this subliminal the messaging that comes through ads,
how effective it is because they used to they put it,
They say, I put that stuff on everything, and all

(09:19):
of a sudden, I'm thinking everything like sausage, biscuits. It's crazy.
And I was like, I was keeping myself from reaching
for the bottle to just try it, a little splash
of it on one biscuit so that if I ruin it,
I'm only going to eat one biscuit that's ruined. But

(09:40):
I couldn't bring myself to do that, not this early
in the show, for Pete's sake, when I'm basically locked
in a studio and i can't run for a restroom
in case something terrible happens, because you know, that's not
the type of thing you generally put on your stomach
first thing in the day. It just isn't. Well, yeah, whatever,
And that might explain why he has no hair, which

(10:00):
is ironically where I was going when I said about
speaking of Harmon Kilbrew. Harmon was bald, lost most of
his hair. Well, I mean, he had hair along the sides,
much like Jose does, and but he was without hair
very early in life. It happens to some, happened to

(10:21):
some in my family. It just happened to my dad.
My dad was without much of the hair on the
top of his head by the time he was in
his early twenties. Right, So I came across this story,
and there is a new what they're calling a new
botox for hair loss treatment. Only this is really interesting

(10:41):
because scientists at UCLA have discovered a molecule named PP
four to five p P four oh five that they
say as a topical, statistically significant get results for bringing

(11:03):
hair follicles back to life, not damaged ones, like if
something happened and you had, you know, like an injury
or something. We're talking about just the normal male pattern
baldness thing that if you had hair up there once before,
and we all did, you can awaken those follicles with

(11:26):
this stuff. Now it's not been marketed yet. They're going
through and they said, and oh, by the way, it's
full what they call terminal hair, not the peach fuzz variety,
not just some little fuzzy strands of you know, like
you would have facial hair peach fuzz when we were kids,
they'd say, oh, you had some peach fuzz there. No, no, no,

(11:49):
we're not talking about that. We're talking about real full hair.
And so they have they have found that, you know,
the other products that are out there are the market
monoxidil and finasteride, they only work on a subset of
people that suffer from thinning or bald baldness. Thinning hair

(12:10):
or baldness. Only a percentage of those are impacted by
those products. This has almost complete widespread application. And so
whether you're using supplements red light, you've seen that red
light therapy thing that's supposed to stimulate the follicles with
red light infrared thing. Hair transplantation. People with money do that.

(12:37):
They'll take hair out of the back of your head
and they'll move it and then they let the hair
on the back of your head grow to cover where
they pull the hair out. It's like, nah, no, no,
no no. But I'm just putting it on your radar, fellas,
And I would imagine there are some women that deal
with thinning hair as they age. I'm just saying i'd

(12:58):
be looking out for this, So do some digging. PP.
Four oh five is the name of the molecule. If
you just pop that in there, I bet it pops up.
But just be aware that this could be coming to
a you know, I don't know. It might even be
over the counter eventually, versus having to go see a
doctor about it. But they're going through all the trials

(13:20):
and so forth. But that that would be exciting news
for the Would you use a product like that? Uh no, sir,
you're good with yes, yes, And because you occasionally shave
all of your hair, yeah, but I feel like.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Growing it out and oxious is the way that that
God made me. And I shouldn't be ashamed of it. Okay,
back off, dude, just saying I think I think it
would be never mind. Welcome to the Morning Show with

(13:53):
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Big Stories in the press Box. Kind of a mixed
bag of consumer related, government update and a couple other
things here Moms Wanna Be Womb's study coming out from

(14:20):
Nature Mental Health says that as cidamenophin otherwise known as tailanol,
common pain reliever fever reducer, may not be what you
ought to take if you're pregnant. Researchers have found that

(14:42):
there is a three times greater likelihood of a child
developing ADHD if mom was taking a cidymeniphin during pregnancy.
They were able to over a period of time by
testing what was in the bloodstream of a mom during

(15:03):
pregnancy and the levels of a cinnameniphin and then determine
over the course of years how many children developed EIGHTHD.
Interesting they followed up on those kids eight to ten
years later. It's just interesting. It would be something that

(15:28):
if I were a you know, a parent, and you've
got the possibility of having children. It's just something to
be aware of. There are other things to take right.
There are plenty of other things to take. But you know,

(15:48):
I'm personally a tailan all guy. Always have been. When
I get a headache, I just pop two or three
tailand all usually three for me because when I get
a bad headache, I don't get migraines. But if I
get a bad headache to just I don't know if
it's because I'm just bigger. I don't know. It just
doesn't get it done. Three problem solved and then I'm done.

(16:08):
I can't even think it the last time I took
a tailan hall anyway. The head of HHS, Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, has announced that they're cutting staff. About twenty
five percent of the workforce is going to be eliminated.
He said, it's going to be painful, but we're going
to do more with less. They're going to save one

(16:30):
point eight billion dollars a year. I want you to
look at the reaction nationally to this, the small numbers
of people that are reacting to these kinds of cuts.
Look at the addiction we have to the size of government.
We have people that are committing acts of violence because

(16:52):
we're cutting the size of government. We're addicted to the
largesse of government, and we're addicted to cheap crap from China.
I'm telling you, I I can't tell you how frequently
I have when I've looked at purchasing things, I've gone, oh,
made in China. Nope, I'll pass. I do it every

(17:14):
time I can, every chance I don't. I am happy
to pay more to avoid anything made in China. Trump
has asked Representatively Stefanic from New York to bow out
of contention to you to be the US ambassador. Bottom
line is, he said, we cannot afford to lose any

(17:35):
members of the GOP caucus in Congress, and the race
in New York was shaping up if she if she
were confirmed as a problem, as a potential problem. And
remember I said something about this. I said, out of
all the appointments, Trump has to be very, very smart

(17:57):
and pick people out of district where he knows he
gets a Republican reelected that's going to be supporting his agenda.
And this is the one I questioned. And so yeah, good,
good decision. And then I don't know if you saw
the news yesterday the arrest of a key one of
the top three leaders of MS thirteen in America. The

(18:19):
fact that we have leaders of this violent gang in
America and we're trying to track him down and they're
living among us with their children. That's a problem. But
we got this guy, we're extra diving another one into
the country to put him in prison. So that's good,
that's good. But just consider the comfort level that these

(18:40):
people are living in amongst us, and they are These
are terrible people, these gangs terrible. Forty one minutes past
the own. I will stay with the subject of terrible. Yeah,

(19:10):
I said, we're gonna stay with the theme of terrible. Look,
I'm not trying to hurt an industry or an individual business.
But what in the world is Royal Caribbean not thinking.

(19:30):
Two illegals on board a Royal Caribbean cruise the Independence
of the Seas. Ricardo Daniel Mundragen Leal thirty seven Jose

(19:54):
Juan Prudencio Diaz thirty six raped a fourteen year old
boy in a sauna on the cruise ship. So while

(20:16):
we are working doing all we can to stay ahead
of the high cost of living, there's certainly some trying
to take a little bit of a respite, go on
a vacation they've saved their money. In this case, you're
thinking it's sort of safe. Now. I would never allow

(20:41):
anyone in a sauna or any place private like that
on a cruise ship unless they could take care of themselves,
you know what I'm saying. And I haven't even gotten
to the worst part. One of the two illegals as

(21:05):
aids as HIV, I should say, So now that boy's
got to deal with the potential of that. So the
questions being asked kind of go like this. First of all,
Road Caribbean. Both of these two had ice detainers on
them last time I checked. I think you have to

(21:30):
have a passport to get on board a cruise ship
leaving this country because you're in international waters and you
end up going in on internet foreign ports. That could
be wrong, but that's what my memory is telling me.
So do you not check? Do you not look? Is
it customary to let illegals on board? Did you check

(21:55):
their IDs? On the website for Royal Caribbean, there's this
massive section on the procedures and proper identification. Did you
follow it? And were you really unaware that there was

(22:15):
a detainer that these two men were being looked for anytimes?
Someone tries to make you feel guilty about what's going
on with the border and getting illegals out of this country.
You just remember this story.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
More and more.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
And oh, by the way, employers out there looking the
other way, this crap's on you too. You employ people
that are illegally in this country, and you darn well
know you do. Not all of you, not even a
fraction of you, but there's a few, and you know it.

(23:06):
You're gonna answer for it. Forty six minutes past the hour,
maybe on this side of attorney, not on this side
of ettornity. You will answer for what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (23:14):
The Morning Show at Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Get the uh gross stuff out.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Of the way.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Saw this story this week. Just sixty two year old
woman who's a grandmother having a overnight conjugal visit with
her convicted murderer husband, fifty four year old dude guilty

(23:59):
of killing four men in nineteen ninety three, sentenced to
life in prison without parole, And so she went ahead
and had an overnight visit. You know what I mean
by conjugal, right, And when they came to get her

(24:19):
the next day she was dead. He strangled her and
no one was there to And it's like, first I
personally question the wisdom of those types of visits. I mean, look,

(24:45):
I'm all about I serve on a board that's all
about helping rehabilitate and prepare men and women to come
back in and be part of society and be productive
and have a good life, and to to no longer
victimize people and to no longer be a victim. But

(25:05):
I I can't get my brain around. Let's put a
four time murderer. I mean, four people died, granted in
one occasion, but still I have a I have I
have a problem with that. Her son's like, what in

(25:26):
the world, how does how does this happen? All right,
let's let's change gears here. I mentioned the FSU hockey team.
It's it sounds so strange, doesn't it, But there's an

(25:49):
FSU hockey club and uh they are. They're doing a
fundraising golf tournament a week from Monday, just a little
a little money to help them with the travel and
the expenses. And I'm all about it, so iHeart we
are sponsoring the event. Other businesses are stepping up as well.

(26:15):
It's going to be a Capital City Country Club a
week from Monday, and at last report they had nineteen openings,
which is the equivalent of four teams of four and
three individuals, and so yeah, they'll be happy to take
individual golfers. It's one hundred bucks to play, which is
a steal when you consider Capital City is a nice

(26:38):
golf course and challenging kind of tight. Old school reminds
me of my days growing up and playing golf in
the Twin Cities because it's got that feel to it.
But I want you to put a team together and

(26:58):
let's fill the field out. They've got they've they're running
the tournament. It's gonna happen. But now we want a
full field and they're just a few groups away from
having a full field. So let's get it done. And
all you do is go to f SU Hockey dot
com and there's a tab that says golf tournament and enter.
You can enter with a buddy and just two of you,

(27:20):
and you can enter as a foursome and uh, it's
a scramble event. Breakfast'll lit'll take with you breakfast and
then a lunch afterwards, affet lunch and it'll be a
lot of fun. And yes, I will be there captaining
the iHeart team, and so I will be playing on

(27:40):
that on that day and I'll talk more about that
on Monday. FSU Hockey dot com. F SU Hockey dot com.
And now we just hope for really good weather when
we come back. Lee Williams the Gun Writer joins us
next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. If I

(28:10):
passed the hour, it's the second hour here Friday in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you.
He is Jose I am Pressed Any Idiots Show fifty
three forty six and once a month he is kind
enough to make time for us. And he is Lee Williams,
the Gun Writer and the website Thegunwriter dot substack dot com. Lee,
how in the world.

Speaker 8 (28:30):
Are you, sir, busy brother, how are you?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I'm doing well? I would just before we talk about
all the things that there are to talk about, and
there are a bunch of them. How do you kind
of prioritize where you focus your attention as well as
the attention of you know, gun owners of America and
all that.

Speaker 8 (28:49):
Well, I try and come up with my own stories.
I try and break my stories and brother, they come
to me. I mean, we have a lot of people
still in a lot of bad situations that need help.
They just want some help. So we try our best
and that's what happens.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
What's the latest on Patrick tad adamiak.

Speaker 9 (29:14):
Well?

Speaker 8 (29:16):
I wrote a story a couple of days ago, March eighteenth,
calling on President Trump to pardon him. The guy was
going to be a Navy Seal officer, had been accepted
by the Navy Seals. He was jailed for no reason
other than the ATF screwed up. They got some bad
information from a source. They kicked down Patrick's door, pointed

(29:38):
guns at him. He's a twenty eight year old East
six in the Navy, went through his house, went through
a safe, couldn't find anything illegal because Patrick was very,
very careful. He had a very good part time business
going a lot of sales. A lot of military will
have a part time job, and this was his. He
collected firearms and firearm parts. Every single thing they found

(30:01):
was perfectly legal. Every single thing they found was perfectly legal.
But you know, then they enter in Jeffrey Bodell, who
is ATFS, who is ATS Firearms Enforcement officer. He takes
a toy Stem gun. You can order it in the mail,
they'll send it to your house. And he inserts a
real Stem barrel and a real Steen magazine and a

(30:23):
real Sten submachine gun action and gets at the fire
one round, said it's a machine gun. He test fired
five of Patrick's guns, his handguns, said that they were
semi autos, but they were full automatic. I mean, it
goes on and on and on. So, I mean, Patrick's
on his second of twenty years in state prison, in

(30:45):
a prison in a federal prison in New Jersey. So
unless unless President Trump does something, he's going to spend,
he's going to get out of jail in eighteen more years.
And this kid is so committed. All he wants to
do is get out, go back into the Navy and
be a seal.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
What's the legal side of this from his defense team
or those stepping up trying to help.

Speaker 8 (31:10):
There are some legal moves that the defense is trying
to do. However, they're at the appellate level. They're based
on some Supreme Court decisions. They may or may not happen. Brother,
nothing's guaranteed. Sure a presidential pardon, he'd be out of jail.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Tomorrow a pardon. Does that erase it from his record?

Speaker 8 (31:34):
It could, Yeah, it certainly could, and he would be
free to do whatever he wants to do. He is
forgiven for whatever he screwed up, even though in this
case he clearly didn't screw anything up.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Now, you mentioned just a few minutes ago and in
your story the guy with ATF that really maybe commit
did some crimes in and of himself, Jeffrey Bodell. How
is he still with it or is he just one
of those guys that you know, Cash Bettel's going to

(32:08):
get to him. When he gets to him.

Speaker 8 (32:11):
I think Cash doesn't know his name. Cash is God God.
I mean, he has so much on his plate. I
hope his people look into Firearms Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Brodell
because he perjured himself. He performed actions meant to buttress ATFS.
Horrible search FORRTH that never should have happened to this guy.

(32:34):
This guy's doing twenty years because of PATS, because of
jeff Bodell, and that should never have happened with me.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
This morning is the gun writer, he's Lee Williams. And
the website you gotta subscribe, You're going to get so
much great writing and more importantly, information on what's going
on regarding the Second Amendment. Remember our belief around here
it's the one amendment that protects the rest. Just go
to the gunwriter dot substack dot com.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Now we're just proving to everyone that week in count
this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's the
gunwriter Lee Williams Lee.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I came across a story back March thirteenth, and it
was on town Hall and it said the ATF doesn't
want you to know about its gun surveillance program. These
orgs are fighting back and an organization you are part
of is one of those. Tell us about that.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
Well, ATF has so many tricks off their sleeve. They
have software, they have individuals. I don't know of any
government organization that make themselves so seriously on what they do. Yeah,
ATF is spying. ATF has accumulated millions and millions and

(34:10):
millions of the names of people who had legally purchased guns,
and they have them in a file and they're not
supposed to by via federal law. I mean, it's which
which avenue? Don't do you want to talk about what
they're doing wrong? It's it's insane, and no one's tell
them accountable because Joe Biden has used them as his

(34:31):
personal personal bully boys to keep us all in check.
Now all that's changing, thank goodness. But it's just a
matter of what comes out first. I know Biden's staff
is incredible. I'm sorry. Trump's staff is incredibly busy right now.
But at some point ATF has to be put on

(34:52):
up on top shelf and they have to be drilled
down on.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
There's an inside this story. It says that that your
organization put a freedom of information request out four years ago.

Speaker 8 (35:08):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's a that's typically ATF.
I've got a freedom of information acts, uh that they'll
probably you know, be handled now during Trump. But man,
I mean you talked three or four years old. That's
nothing for ATF. They ignore it. They ignore them. I've

(35:29):
never seen a federal agency that operates like them before ever,
even FBI. They'll turn over documents that make themselves look bad.
ATF won't.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
What's interesting to me about this is that it's not
just the ATF. In this particular case, a court has
has sided with them in putting a gag order on
the the things that that you all want people to
know under what just what was the justification for the
gag order.

Speaker 8 (35:59):
I have no idea. There are so many of these
things now that are out there, and for me to
keep track of all of them would be a full
time job. Seriously, because we you know, the federal government
is supposed to cooperate with anyone who files a FOIA
request atf does not.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Before we get to your most recent story in the
next segment, I want to just get your thoughts on
the ruling that came down. We talked about it the
other day, the ghost gun ruling by the Supreme Court.
I was surprised at the seven to two ruling.

Speaker 9 (36:35):
Yeah, I was blown away.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
I think there's nothing wrong with a gun without a
serial number in Florida. Here, I have several ghost guns
or guns without serial numbers that were mailed to me
by the manufacturers, and I put them together. I had
a great time doing each of them. Both of them
are are block types handguns. I don't see why the
Supreme Court came down the way they did, other than

(37:00):
they need to be educated more. I mean, you put
the finishing touches on these firearms. I don't like the
term ghost guns. It's just you know, before the sixties,
firearms didn't have serial numbers anywhere. I don't see any
big deal about it.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
So is there any chance, I mean, how does this
issue find its way back since they've allegedly settled it.

Speaker 8 (37:25):
We're going to need a law. We will need a
federal law that changes this because this is wrong.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Man, gotcha? All right?

Speaker 9 (37:35):
Lee?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Stand by? Lee Williams is with me. It's the Gunwriter
dot substack dot com. Subscribe, and you're obviously welcome to
support the work, but we would love for you to
get the information first and foremost. Lee Williams with us.
We're going to talk about a civilian gun club that
actually a win for the good guys. Maybe next of
the Morning show. He's the gun Writer. The gun Writer

(38:12):
dot substack dot com is the website the latest story
from Lee Williams. Lee, what fascinated me not just the
story obviously, as always brilliantly written, it's where it happens.
It's this is in Massachusetts. Yeah, tell us the story.

Speaker 8 (38:31):
A small gun club located about fifty miles northwest of Boston,
and it's small. It's the Fort Devns Rifle and Pistol
Club inc. They you know, most of the guys are veterans.
They were going out to the fort. They were shooting
using the ranges for free. I mean, these guys brought
their own range safety officers. They have targets, AMMO, they

(38:54):
police their own brass. These guys were nobody's problem, whatsoever. Well,
Joe Biden gets elected and in twenty twenty his administration
tells the club, oh, yeah, now you're going to pay
two hundred and fifty dollars per range. If you want
two ranges, that'll be five hundred three range would be
seven to fifty, and the fees would increase based upon
the number the total number of shooters. Well, that hit

(39:16):
the gun club hard because they're a small, small group, so,
I mean half of them seemed to be lawyers. They
filed suit in twenty twenty two, claiming that the Ford
officials were charging range fees in violation of federal law.
And by the way, it does violate federal law. According
to the club treasurer Jim Gettens, as he put it

(39:39):
on Monday, when I wrote the story, it's a David
versus Goliath event. I mean, the range went through several
officers everybody lied they were running an illegal profit curing racket.
Getting said. The funny thing is, and the funnies in
finger quotes is there's still charging. They have a lot

(40:01):
of non d D law enforcement that comes out there,
state police, municipal police, some federal guys, ICE, FBI, US Customs.
They're still paying for their range opportunity even though they
shouldn't be. Yet. The Civilian Club, because they sued, does

(40:22):
not have to. I tried to get the US attorney
who was involved in the case, Julian and Kansa Nori,
but he wouldn't call me back. I dealt with one
of his people there at the US Attorney's office for
an entire day trying to get somebody to comment on it.
Of course nobody would. Nobody has to, but and it

(40:43):
really made me upset. However, the club is back in,
and I mean, these guys aren't even going out on
the weekends because after nine to eleven they said, oh yeah,
no more civilians on weekends, because that's when we're usually busy,
even though if you drive out there, the ranges are
not that busy. But they won. The judge kicked it back.

(41:03):
They're out there during the week holding their small events
and they're all smiling.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Man. It just makes you think about the number of
times that no one has the resources or they just
don't find the energy to fight the government on crap
like this.

Speaker 8 (41:23):
Right, that is the takeaway, That is the supreme lesson
here is if your rights are being violated, you need
to take action. I don't care who's president, because obviously
this occurred during Biden. But these things take a while,
and they take a while to be resolved. And it
was resolved and everything's good now out there, and I

(41:45):
could not be happy. I'm going to go out and
shoot there hopefully in the near future, because these guys
are pros and they handled it right. Rather than you know,
just griping and complaining, they took some action and that's
what exactly what they needed legally. He's also pretty good attorneys.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah, clearly they they filed the right appeals or or
filed the right documents on that one. Tell me this, Lee,
what what is your appraisal? What are your hopes with
cash Pattel and Pam BONDI now over this arena in general.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
Well, it's difficult to understand how busy mister Patel is
but I want to see I want to see him
destroy ATF. I've written over two hundred stories on ATF
over my twelve years doing this, and it is a
criminal organization masquerading as a federal law enforcement agency. It
needs to go and he needs to take care of it.

(42:46):
That right, there would be a lasting value that would
be incredible, and that needs to happen soon because you
look at what they're doing. You look at the doors
are kicking for no reason, and the people that are
getting shocked and killed right because they think they're burglars
coming into their house at five am instead of ATF

(43:08):
agents who cut the power before they go in. But
I mean, AHTF needs to go.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Does it take an actor? Does it take an Act
of Congress to get rid of it?

Speaker 8 (43:20):
Yes? It will. I don't care. It's worth it. They
need to go. They are not doing law enforcement at ATF.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Fair enough, Lee, thank you for all the work you're doing.
I appreciate it. Look forward to the next set of
articles and we'll talk again next month.

Speaker 8 (43:34):
Tom's great. Thank you, Take care, Thank.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
You, sir. Lee Williams The gun Writer dot substack dot com.
That's where you go subscribe, get the work of Lee Williams,
our guest here in the Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
Scott being told what to believe by the liberal media.
Get a refreshing dose of truth. It's the Morning Show
at Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
What's the Beef Friday comes up in a half hour
and so in about twenty minutes or so, we will
give you a chance to call in and get it said.
Whatever it is that's been weighing on you, We're here
to help. If you're new to the radio program, Welcome
to the Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston he

(44:30):
is Jose and Jose takes your calls and we'll talk
to you in the next hour about whatever it is
that's burdening you. It's what's the Beef? You can complain
about anything you like, So get your thoughts in order.
This is a I think an important decision by President
Donald Trump. He's looking at the landscape of Congress, realizes

(44:51):
the margins he has to keep as much room for
a dissenting vote as possible, and so he is asked
his nominee for ambassadors to the United Nations. A last
Stefanic of New York to bow out. So I need,
I need to pull your nomination because I need you

(45:12):
in Congress. It's it's what I mentioned at the very
beginning when he was making his appointments. I said, you
cannot draw from any district that could be a coin
toss or might elect the wrong person. You just you
can't do that. There There are too many there are

(45:32):
too many people that you can get that does not
put your majority at at stake in Congress. And the
margins are thin in the House, in the Senate, and
so you've got to keep your people there. And I
really felt a last Stephanic was one of those that
was in a district that I just I don't trust

(45:54):
New Yorkers. I'm sorry, I just don't. And and so
he is. I think he's done the right thing. They
announced yesterday the arrest of an MS thirteen gang leader
in the United States. Guy was busted in Virginia, part
of a sweep I'm told of some two hundred illegals,

(46:17):
two hundred and fourteen illegals grabbed at one time. It
just illustrates how people that have broken into this nation
are living so comfortably here. And I always laugh at
those that are upset about it. And yet not one

(46:38):
time have I noticed that they've got illegals living with them,
haven't opened up their mansions, their homes, the Hollywood bleeding hearts.
You got all the money in the world, build them
a place, put them up. Not going to happen. And

(47:02):
I'm still waiting for Republicans in the state legislature in
Florida to do the right thing. Close the loopholes on
the laws relating to employing illegal immigrants. Close the loopholes,

(47:29):
and to those of you who employ them, I'm just
telling you you are making it possible for people like
these gang members and others. You know, I'd love to
know the illegals that rape the fourteen year old boy

(47:50):
on the cruise ship that are now under arrest in Miami.
They were on ice detainers, if they were wanted, how
were they living, Were they being employed in the trades,
Were they dealing drugs? I don't have the answer to that,
but if they were working a job, you're in part

(48:16):
responsible for the raping of that fourteen year old boy
because you provided the means for them to be on
that cruise ship. You employed them. Some of you might
be saying, Oh, that's a little harsh present, is it?

(48:38):
Or is it reality? You know, getting rid of illegal
labor when there's opportunities for it to be legal. There
are green cards, there are ways to work and have
a permit to work legally in this country. To not
have that forced upon people and to allow people to

(49:01):
be paid under the table enables this type of activity.
It just does. It suppresses wages, It keeps things artificially cheap.

(49:22):
If ahead of lettuce cost fifty cents more because it's
picked by somebody that's legally working in this country. I'm
good with that, shouldn't you be? When we come back.
You've just got to hear it to enjoy it. On

(49:43):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Okay, we're going
to run a moment or two long in this segment
because you need to listen.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Listen to this exchange between US Congressman Brandon Gill from
Texas and the CEO for NPR, Katherine Maher. She came
to Capitol Hill arguing that NPR should continue to receive
your tax dollars. Listen to the exchange.

Speaker 10 (50:21):
Ms Maher I want to start with you just generally.
Would you say you generally agree or disagree with the
following statement, The history of all hitherto existing society is
the history of class struggles.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
I would not say I agree with that.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
You know that's good to hear.

Speaker 10 (50:36):
It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed
by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and
cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to
white supremacy?

Speaker 5 (50:49):
I believe that.

Speaker 11 (50:50):
I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe
much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade.

Speaker 7 (50:56):
It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

Speaker 11 (50:59):
I don't recall all the exact context, sir, so I
wouldn't be able to say.

Speaker 10 (51:02):
Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder
and white democracy?

Speaker 5 (51:08):
I don't believe that, sir.

Speaker 7 (51:10):
You tweeted that.

Speaker 10 (51:12):
It's reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently,
The Case for Reparations.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
I don't think i've ever read that book, sir.

Speaker 7 (51:19):
You tweeted about it.

Speaker 10 (51:21):
You said you took a day off to fully read
The Case for Reparations. You put that on Twitter in
January of twenty twenty.

Speaker 11 (51:28):
I apologies. I don't recall that I did. No doubt
that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall.

Speaker 10 (51:35):
Okay, do you believe that white people inherently feel superior
to other races?

Speaker 5 (51:40):
I do not.

Speaker 10 (51:41):
You tweeted something to that effect. You said, I grew
up feeling superior. How wide of me? Why did you
tweet that?

Speaker 11 (51:49):
I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to be to grow up in an environment where I
had lots of advantages.

Speaker 7 (51:56):
It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.

Speaker 11 (51:59):
I don't don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir.
I was just reflecting on my own experience.

Speaker 7 (52:04):
Do you think that white people should pay reparations?

Speaker 5 (52:06):
I have never said that, sir.

Speaker 7 (52:08):
Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.

Speaker 10 (52:11):
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.

Speaker 11 (52:20):
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.

Speaker 7 (52:23):
What kind of reparations was it a reference to.

Speaker 11 (52:25):
I think it was just a reference to the idea
that we all owe much to the people who came
before us.

Speaker 10 (52:30):
That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay,
how much reparations have you personally.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
Paid, sir?

Speaker 11 (52:41):
I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
Okay, just for everybody else.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
I'm not asking anyone to to.

Speaker 10 (52:47):
Be what you're suggesting. Do you believe that looting is
morally wrong?

Speaker 11 (52:51):
I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
it as counterproductive.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
I think it should be prosecuted.

Speaker 7 (52:55):
Do you believe it's morally wrong though?

Speaker 5 (52:57):
Of course?

Speaker 10 (52:58):
Of course, then why did you refer to it as counterproductive?
Very different, very different way to describe it.

Speaker 11 (53:04):
It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as.

Speaker 10 (53:07):
Being tweeted, it's hard to be mad about protests. In
reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private property
of a system of oppression, you didn't condemn the looting.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
You said that it was counter productive.

Speaker 10 (53:22):
NPR also promoted a book called in Defensive Looting.

Speaker 7 (53:26):
Do you think that that's an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 11 (53:29):
I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
that was.

Speaker 7 (53:32):
My tweeted that you read that book, but.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
I don't believe that I did read that book, sir?

Speaker 10 (53:37):
Do you think that a few years ago in PR
educated America about quote, the whole community of gender queer
dinosaur enthusiasts. Do you think that that's an appropriate use
of tax dollars?

Speaker 5 (53:49):
I was not an MPR at the Times.

Speaker 10 (53:50):
That's not the question, though. Do you think that that's
an appropriate use of our tax dollars?

Speaker 11 (53:54):
I think our tax dollars that we use are to
be able to provide a wide range.

Speaker 7 (53:58):
Of I'll take that as a yes, you do believe
that that's appropriate.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
Your health advisor at NPR also stated in an interview
that quote, fear of fatness is more harmful than actual fat.
Would you like to explain how fear of fatness is
more harmful than actual fat? That's directly that's an editorial
at NPR.

Speaker 11 (54:16):
I am not familiar with the editorial, and I don't
believe that was published during my time here.

Speaker 10 (54:19):
It's called diet culture is everywhere. Here's how to fight it.
Do you think that that's an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars?

Speaker 11 (54:25):
I think any reporting on health isn't appropriate use you
spend dollars.

Speaker 10 (54:29):
Yes, and you think that editorializing that fat is not
unhealthy is appropriate?

Speaker 11 (54:35):
I don't know that what that article is sart and
I'm not familiar with it with students fake news.

Speaker 10 (54:40):
Do you think that basic accommodations like doorways or seat
belts represent quote latent fat phobia?

Speaker 5 (54:47):
I don't have an opinion.

Speaker 10 (54:48):
It's also from NPR. Do you think civility is racist? No, sir, No,
your outlet ran an article entitled quote when civility is
used as a cudgel against people of color on all
things considered?

Speaker 7 (55:03):
Would you like to explain.

Speaker 11 (55:05):
What I'm not on the editorial side. Sorry, I'm not
familiar with that story.

Speaker 10 (55:08):
You talk about how NPR is news, this is. This
is editorialization, and I'll read it. For many people of
color in the United States, civility isn't so much social
lubricant as it is a vehicle for containing them, preventing
social mobility, and preserving the status quote this is garbage.
I'll spend all of my time doing everything I can do,

(55:28):
and sure you guys never get another dollar of taxpayer funding.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
This is and what you heard is indefensible from mar
and why they get PBS, NPR gets one penny of
tax money is unacceptable. I just wanted you to hear
what she had to say and what she in fact

(55:54):
has publicly stated forty eight minutes past the hour that
i'd to get you ready to be Friday coming up in.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
Just a few on news Radio one hundred point seven
double UFLA.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Just an observation here of how NIL is changing slash
ruining college athletics. The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is one
of the most anticipated events in the sports calendar every year.
The brackets, everybody plays or you know, has fun with it,

(56:32):
and there's always some great upsets, right you always have
some really high seeds. We're talking you know, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen seeds advancing to the sweet sixteen maybe and beyond.
Check out what we've got right now, right now in

(56:54):
where they've played the the sweet sixteen. You've got a
one seed and a two seed Duke and Alabama. You've
got a one seed in a three seed Florida and
Texas Tech. You still have playing a one and a
four Houston, Purdue, a two and a three Kentucky and Tennessee.

(57:17):
And on the other side, you've got a two and
a six and a one and a five. Here's my point.
All the top seeds, the higher ranked teams, the bigger schools,
the programs that can afford to pay nil money are

(57:41):
the ones that are advancing. If you're a mid major,
you're a really good player at a mid major, you're
now going to get offered to come to the bigger
schools and the mid majors that used to keep their
players together for three four years and then be that
senior dominated team that makes a run in the NCAA
tournament because they've got guys that have played together for well,

(58:03):
those guys now are getting picked off by these other schools,
and so you've diluted and you've ruined the tournament, and
I alas ruined the tournament. Now it's almost a lock
that you're gonna have top four seeds make it to
the Elite eight. I'll be shocked if a seed other

(58:25):
than a top four seed makes it to the Elite eight.
Let's see what happens come Monday. Well, as of Monday,
we'll know who the final four is. Let's see what
the seeds are of the final four. Let's see if
any seed beyond say A two or a three makes
it just saying, just saying, By the way, have you

(58:47):
seen the latest on the representative from Texas, Jasmine Crockett.
She referred to Greg Abbott, who is paralyzed and lives
in a wheelchair because of a tree that fell on
and when he was in his twenties and paralyzed him
from the waist down. She referred to him as governor
hot wheels, and she doesn't believe she has anything to

(59:11):
apologize for. She wasn't mocking him, right right, yeah, eight

What's the be Friday's next? Eight five zero two zero

So whatever it is, it's been kind of weighing on,
you get it off your chest right now. Eight five

thank you very much for calling in. What's the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:01:09):
Good morning, Preston.

Speaker 12 (01:01:10):
My beef is these brain dead lib tars who think
illegal aliens have constitutional rights. I live in fruit Loop,
Central Indian Headachres. I work twelve hour day. I get
home when some libtar comes walking down my driveway. Just
by looking I can tell what he is. And he goes, hey,
we're getting a petition up to get somebody to run

(01:01:31):
against Neil Dunn. I said, well, does your candidate feel
about illegal aliens.

Speaker 8 (01:01:35):
Beings, because oh, well she supports them.

Speaker 9 (01:01:37):
I said, get off my property.

Speaker 12 (01:01:38):
I said they don't have constitutional Well I've studied the constitution,
Yes they do. Dude, who are you you know? I mean,
I'm so sick of these brainwashed idiots who are illiformed
and ignorant about law and just common sense. But I
feel much better now. Preston, Thank you very much. Absolutely
great weekend.

Speaker 13 (01:02:15):
First of all, let me apologize for the drivel I've
been filling up your email inbox with with week what's
the beef submission? This one is strong? Okay, camp on
the last caller, come on judge on Monday who said
the Hispanic males who were flown to El salad Or
were treated worse than Nazis. That was sickening. What became

(01:02:38):
what added to the nausea was on Wednesday when the
three judge panel said, each and every one of those
Hispanic males who've got on that plane were entitled to
a habeas corpus hearing.

Speaker 14 (01:02:52):
And if you really want to, uh should I say,
pump your stomach? Then last night the same judge that
told the plane to turn around over the international waters
is going.

Speaker 15 (01:03:04):
To be looking into the signal app scandal. Boy, things
are so much better to find back at two thousand
and three, when everyone knew that the Caliban had.

Speaker 14 (01:03:18):
Geneva Convention protection but the intimate combatants themed al Qaeda
did not.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Thank you, sir, appreciate the phone call Greg eight five

Good morning, Pression, and thank you for what you do.

Speaker 9 (01:03:41):
Well.

Speaker 16 (01:03:41):
My beef this morning, very briefly, is with myself. I
spent my youth squandering wealth and opportunities and the prime
of my life apparently on two women who didn't enlighten
me in bottom houses and cars. And if I had
that money back right now, Preston, you know what I'd do.
I'd buy a ninety thousand dollars teshla just to stick
in the eye of those liberals. Adlon Musk, y'all have

(01:04:03):
a good week, Thank.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
You, sir, appreciate that, you know. That's that's what's interesting
is right now you almost feel a patriotic duty to
buy a Tesla, don't you? And just look at these
dirt bags and say, I dare you anyway? Hey, I

(01:04:26):
have wide open phone lines. I can't tell you the
last time that's happened. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA.
We've got all kinds of space. What do you want
to get off your chest? It's what's to be Friday?

(01:05:26):
and a half years, twenty three years now. So we
go back to the lines, and Lynn has been standing by.
Good morning, Lynn, Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:05:34):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
What's the beef?

Speaker 17 (01:05:38):
If you work in the United States of America, you
got to have a number, a Social Security number. I
think we should make every illegal alien have a number
to work. Are we received benefits that provided by the taxpayer?

Speaker 12 (01:05:51):
Number one?

Speaker 17 (01:05:52):
That would cut out of all the illegal bull crap,
and also we would get some idea about how many
millions of people are here legally.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Yeah, there are so many problems we have with legal immigration,
let alone the obvious illegal immigration. You're right, it's just
where do you start, And you got to start by
shutting down the border. That's just what I think. Appreciate it, Lynn,
thanks very much for the phone call. We had someone

(01:06:22):
ringing in that that gave up. Don't give up, Matt,
thanks for calling in. Appreciate you hanging in there waiting
for the phone line to be picked up. But what's
the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:06:33):
I just don't give up. Well, I've always got beets, obviously,
but and it you know, I'd drive about fifty miles daily,
you know, a lot of it on the interstate. I
don't understand why people hang out in the lane where
us illegal drivers want to go faster. You know that's
that's for all the illegal drivers, so stay out of
our lane. The other thing is, you know we can

(01:06:53):
we can go pick up astronauts on these spaceship things.
And why can't we get why can't we set governors
to just for these semis going up hills so that
we're not creeping at sixty two miles an hour on
the Interstate when we all got to get to places.
Just one of my beats, I'm not Back in the seventies,

(01:07:14):
we would try to find the semi to follow to
make time. Now we're just cuss them out.

Speaker 12 (01:07:19):
And I know they hate it put the government, but hey,
tell me this, I love it all.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
Tell me this. Do you think I have an opinion
that when two trucks are side by side on a
two lane, you know, on the two roads on the interstate,
go in the same direction, and they're basically pacing each other,
they're doing it intentionally, I agree, Do they work.

Speaker 9 (01:07:41):
With each other? They can't all be that mentally. You
would think one would slow down. That's in the right.
He's already doing forty. I mean, slow down a little more.
It's not going to hurt I don't understand it. It's
it's something that needs to be regulated, and I would
I would love to get some you know, if we're
dropping the Department of let's get the Department of Transportation

(01:08:02):
to do something about this. Road rage is a terrible thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Yep, yep it is, Matt, Thanks very much. I appreciate
the phone call. Let's go to Pedro Pedro, thanks for
calling in.

Speaker 18 (01:08:12):
Hey, good morning, Preston, are you sir?

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
Good good? Tell me what your beef is.

Speaker 8 (01:08:18):
My beab is with a c l U.

Speaker 18 (01:08:21):
I follow this activist communist legal I don't even know
what you call them. It's just a bunch of lawyers
representing everything that the left stands for. And anyways, my
I follow them on Instagram just for the pure joy
of trolling them. And and do not say say some

(01:08:42):
they post something, I just hit them back with something.
And I love how they just like your previous caller
from before, how the left confused is not confuses. They
do it in purpose legal migration with illegal ones. They
put everybody in there. And I love to control the
left and all these people that follow. And I agree

(01:09:03):
with the A c l U and the minute pressing
the funny thing is my My page is on private setting.
But I have a little bit of bio where he says,
you know, I'm Cuban by birth, but American by choice.
And I love how the left immediately goes through into
like I hope you get deported, and the racial stuff

(01:09:24):
that they say.

Speaker 17 (01:09:24):
It's amazing.

Speaker 18 (01:09:25):
It's so beautiful to prove them how racist and fascist
they are.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Absolutely Pedro, Thanks very much, brother, I appreciate the phone call.
Run into a break here, We've got callers standing by,
We've got room for well, there went that line. We've
got more callers coming up next. It's What's to be
Friday in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right,

(01:09:57):
we had one line taken, but now we've got one
line open. But we have three lines taken. So I'd
like to fit four calls here if we've got them.
But we begin with those who have been waiting the longest. Tahish,
welcome to the program. You are on the air. What's
the beef?

Speaker 19 (01:10:13):
Well, first, I want to thank you for getting me
through the tornadoes last year. I was driving from god
Be when they hit Oh wow, And even though the
radio was going in and out, in and out, I
kept you on as long as I could. Thank you
for getting us through that. Glad you're saying, and thank

(01:10:34):
you for thank you, and thank you for being such
a great teacher because I have learned so much from
listening to you about different things politically. Thank you. And
my beef is with the Party of Peace. I don't
get it. I'm glad I'm no longer part of the
Party of Peace, but I don't get burning Tesla's that

(01:10:57):
belong to people that you.

Speaker 8 (01:10:58):
Don't even know right right.

Speaker 19 (01:11:02):
I mean, you don't know who they are, what they
have in their home, but you think it's okay to
go on their property and burn their car. It's like
you say, plan chief, thank you, and it is the
equivalent of cross burn it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yes, it is. Absolutely. They think they're they are so
self righteous in what they're doing, and it's an offense,
not just to God, it's an offense to everybody.

Speaker 19 (01:11:29):
Amen to that. No, thank you you make my day
every morning.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
I appreciate that. Thank you for the kind words at that.
And I'm serious when I say, wow, thank you very
very much. Let's go back to the phone lines. Kim,
you're up, what's the beef?

Speaker 20 (01:11:48):
Good morning, Preston, how are you?

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
I'm terrific. What's your beef?

Speaker 20 (01:11:52):
My beef is Could we pretty please tell the people
who do the traffic there's a gentleman in the evening
that does it. Can we get them finic spellings of
our street names? They just butcher them to no end.
And he calls capital circle, circle west and circle north

(01:12:14):
and circle east, and he doesn't realize that nobody here
calls it circle. And we have northwest and southwest and
northeast and southeast, but there's no such place as capital
west or circle west.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
That's a very good point. Would you can I can
I indulge and ask a favor. Sure you've got my
email address, Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes, send me
a short list of the mistakes like that, as many
as you can remember, because honest and truly, they're very
responsive to that. And if you'll and I just don't

(01:12:49):
listen in the afternoons, I'm busy prepping for the next show.
If you would send that to me, I will get
it to him, and I promise you it'll make a difference.

Speaker 20 (01:12:58):
That would be awesome. Sure I can do that, That.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
Would be great. Thank you, Kim see, folks, See that's
how it works. We take a beef, massage it a
little bit. Next thing, you know, we're making biscuits or not.
Two more callers, we've got time for. Let's go to Ron. Ron,
you are up. What's the beef? My brother?

Speaker 21 (01:13:18):
Good morning, Presston, Thank you as always. And i'd like
to tell these callers about the drivers pushing the big trucks. Hey,
they do the best they can. Okay, some of them do.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Some of them do, and it's.

Speaker 21 (01:13:33):
Hard to get out of the way or get around.
Don't haunt the driver because it might take him a
minute to go around. You keep pushing on him, flashing lights,
it's going to take him two minutes to go around.
So as I hate it myself, and I understand what
they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
But hey, wait, the best they can.

Speaker 9 (01:13:52):
Ron.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Let me ask you a question. You said you you
drive trucks from time to.

Speaker 21 (01:13:56):
Time every day for thirty nine years.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Okay, you know for a fact that when I say that,
on occasion, they are intentionally blocking the lanes. You know
that's true.

Speaker 21 (01:14:11):
Yes, I do, Okay, I know I don't understand it myself.
Why will that driver not slow down just a little
bit to let that next driver go on. I cannot
explain the ignorance.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
That's it. That's all I needed to hear. My brother,
go ahead your beef.

Speaker 21 (01:14:26):
Yeah, but that's it, I say. Don't tell them you're
not going to do you no good. And I appreciate
everything you do every day.

Speaker 8 (01:14:35):
President.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
Thank you, Rod weekend, Okay, you do the same, my brother,
Stay safe out there. Let's go to Gerald's final caller here,
what's the beef?

Speaker 22 (01:14:42):
Hey, Prestin, how are you just real quick? No brown
shoes and blue pants, And everybody that hears me in
our audience, don't get crazy about these politicians that are
looking to hurt Trump and all that stuff. Stupid is
as stupid does, whether they're doing it on pro us
at a spider or whatever. I don't want anybody that

(01:15:02):
I know here to get aggravated about it. You know,
they're going to play their little games and then whether
intentional or not, and whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
And love you, Preston, Thank you, my friend. I appreciate
the phone call. Great way to end the segment. Way
to rally people, Way to rally. We come back. Our
best and worst of the week. We've got good news,
dad joke headlines from the beat still to come? What
a half hour remaining? Don't leave now, it's the Morning

(01:15:33):
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 6 (01:15:40):
Listening to the m a D Radio Network where you're
challenged to make a difference each and every day. Good morning,
and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
All right, before we get to the Best and Worst
Buddy flying today, that gave us the shots of what's
going on at the airport in the capital city. And
if you missed it, if you're flying today or know
of somebody who is, they do not expect repair people
to get there until ten am, and then you're talking
about the repair and then you're hoping they can repair it.

(01:16:19):
But as of right now, both X ray machines are down.
The delays are crazy. He was there for since six
point twenty this morning for a seven thirty flight. Listen
to this. As of eight point thirty he hadn't been
through security yet. He's been waiting two hours and ten

(01:16:43):
minutes to get through security at Talahatse's airport. His flight
has been missed. They didn't hold the flight any longer
now that I find unbelievable, and so he's missed his flight.
To Atlanta because two hours and ten minutes wasn't enough

(01:17:03):
time to get him through security. So there you go, friends,
there's your there's your heads up for the day. All right,
now it's time for the best and worst, and we
turned to Jose with his hey, good.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Morning, everybody. My best for today or the week is
got that demon tooth pulled out, so thank the Lord,
and that went without a hitch. Yea, I thank you,
doctor Hunter. Way to go professional. And my worst is
also a correction. I said that Paea yesterday originates from
South America, which I was really wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
It's actually from Spain. So sorry if I offended anybody
out there. I didn't want to correct you on the air,
so I just let it go. Well, we almost started
a global conflict there with that. Yeah. Nice. I'm gonna
start with my worst. My worst is the fact that

(01:17:57):
I'm an idiot and I wore shorts working out in
the backyard with vines that have thorns, and I went
to UH I went to see doctor Matthews Adam and
I got my back adjusted. This week I'm wearing shorts.
He said, he said, you got tore up, bab, didn't you?
And I said, you can see that, can you. He

(01:18:19):
just started laughing because he listens to the show. But
it's like, yeah, I'm an idiot. That's totally on me. Okay,
and Satan because those vines are strictly a result of
the fall of sin and it's his fault, all right.
So yeah, my best of the week. It's a tie.

(01:18:41):
And I know I'm a sissy for allowing a tie,
but it's a tie. I planted some new roses with
my old roses, but I I you know, roses last,
you know. So if you've got a big, big rose
guard and you can get him, if space is not
an issue, you can get him, the last a very
long time. But I find that the roses that I

(01:19:01):
get will last maybe five six years, give or take.
So I planted a few new rose bushes, and my
roses are all coming up now, and I plant fragrant
roses and they're blooming and it's spectacular my backyard. It
just you you think you're in a perfume commercial of nature.

(01:19:22):
I mean, it's just it's spectacular. The roses, they're all
different colors, they're beautiful. They're just beautiful, and if you
put your nose in them, you're gonna just go, oh,
that is amazing. But that was a tie. Michael Alford,
athletic director of FSU. He came in on Wednesday and

(01:19:46):
brought some Baignier bites. He brought a box of Baigne
bites and I I've not had had Bagnier pipes. I've
had Baigne's, and they're incredible. They are there. They are
their sin a in dough. I mean just but then

(01:20:10):
I went looking because he got them at Baignier's and
Bruce and there are a few locations around town here.
I don't know if they're in any other part of
the country or any other part of the state. All
I know is they got two or three locations here. Friends,
if you're around, go get some because all they make
is Baigners and various coffees and drinks of you know,

(01:20:31):
like ice drinks and ice coffees and and all I
know is I just looked at that Beagne menu and
I'm like, yeah, I gained like five pounds just looking
at the menu. And so Baigne's and Bruise, tip of
the cap to you, because the Baignier bites our next

(01:20:53):
level and you ought to be advertising on my show.
I'm just saying, you ought to be at absolutely on
my show. But don't hire me to do your ads,
because I will I will. I will come out weighing
four hundred pounds. If I do your ads forty minutes
past the hour, come back with some good news. Remember

(01:21:15):
if you're flying, how to tell Assi today, get there early.
I'm texting back and forth with Sal Newzoh hey, Sal,

(01:21:38):
you just want to come in at six am and
start then, I said to him earlier this week, I said, listen,
let's do a deep dive on just a few things
and cover some ground, because there's just like three or
four topics that deserve a little more time. And we're like, yes,

(01:21:58):
that's what we're going to do. And the next thing,
you know, it's like, okay, we got to add this,
and then we also need to cover this. This is
happening now. And he just sent me another text he said,
this is breaking. We need to add this to the list.
It's like, dude, why not just come in at six am,
Let's just do the whole show, And honestly, we wouldn't

(01:22:20):
have enough time. Now there's something really there is a
very different vibe about this legislative session, and I'm not
sure I like it want to. I don't want to
take away from the good news segment, because the whole
point of this last half hours to push away from

(01:22:42):
all that stuff. But I'm going to tell you right now,
here's what my intuition is telling me. And remember, I've
been in this community since nineteen eighty seven. I've been
an active observer of the government of this community since
maybe the mid nineties. I've really paid attention early on
eh Man FSU football. That's all I cared about. But

(01:23:09):
but I've been kind of a I've paid attention for
a while. Now we might look back and say things
started turning for the worse in the state of Florida
in the twenty twenty five legislative session. There's some to me,
there's some unchecked egos and play here and they've lost

(01:23:32):
sight of doing just the right common sense thing. But
that's just me. I don't know, all right. I saw
this story and because it's March Madness and basketball, and
it's a you know a lot of people are thinking
college basketball. This story of this kid just I just

(01:23:53):
I've just zeroed in on it. Some of you when
I say the name Hansel Emmanuel are gonna go, oh yeah, yeah.
He's got one point five million followers on Instagram. I
think it is. He's a D one basketball player with
Austin p State University in Tennessee, and his statistics aren't

(01:24:20):
like crazy. He's a junior guard. But I just let
me say that again. He's a junior guard on a
Division I basketball team. Okay, you follow me, you followed me.
Let me get to this part of the story. Hansel

(01:24:41):
lost his left arm at the age of six after
climbing a concrete wall that collapsed on top of him.
Left with another option, emergency room doctors amputated just below
his shoulder and kept him in the hospital for six months.
He's now twenty one and has an inspiring perspective on

(01:25:04):
the accident, quoting, I mean, it was a whole life change.
I really appreciate God to give me that life lesson
in that moment because my whole mind, my whole body,
everything changed since that moment had happened. And he just

(01:25:26):
talks about the drive to succeed. He still dreams of
being an NBA player. Now realistically, don't know that that's
going to be possible, but coach with that attitude, with

(01:25:52):
that determination, with the perspective that a cement wall took
his arm away and he plays Division one basketball with
one arm, and he thanks God for the accident. Friends,

(01:26:18):
If that doesn't put whatever you're dealing with in some perspective,
I don't know what will. But the fact that it does, friends,
that is good news. Monday dreams. Do you remember them

(01:26:53):
when you have a dream and wake up? Do you
remember your dreams? Yes or no? There's some interesting things
that are being learned about people who remember and people
who don't. I find it fascinating. Also, Monday sal Newso

(01:27:13):
with a legislative update that'll probably last five hours because
that's how much we have to talk about. So I'm
gonna be sending a note over to Glenn bick Back
and saying, dude, you're gonna have to start at eleven
and do a one hour show because we're just going
to run long this way. It is okay. Not got

(01:27:34):
a dad joke submitted from Pat Pat thank you for
this because this is just too good. Ready. I had
a happy childhood. My dad would put me in tires
and roll me downhills. Those were good years. That was

(01:27:57):
so good. I laughed at it when I read it,
I laughed at it when I shared it with my wife,
and I'm laughing at it a week later now, Pat,
well done, brother. Time for some headlines from your my
our source of satire at the Babylon b snow White
