Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hello friends, good morning, and welcome Wednesday. On the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. He's ose. I'm Preston Show fifty three,
fifty nine April sixth, April the sixteenth. More on that
in just a few moments. This is going to be
the most unusual devotional I've ever done, because I'm not

(00:40):
giving you a scripture to read. Now. Read. I think
reading the account of Easter Week in any of the Gospels,
what happened during Easter Week is terrific. But there's nothing

(01:05):
recorded in scripture about what Jesus did on Wednesday. I
am of the mindset and I always have been that

(01:26):
sometimes what isn't written can be illuminating. We know what
happened on Palm Sunday and Monday and Tuesday, and boy

(01:49):
do we know what happened on Thursday and Friday and
then Saturday and Sunday. But Wednesday they write about nothing.
Here's why I'm suggesting that the fact that nothing was

(02:15):
written about Wednesday provides us a really good opportunity to
do something different. Yeah, read scripture. But Jesus is unlike
anyone ever fully God taking the form of man. The

(02:45):
man part of Jesus is the one who says, tomorrow night, Dad,
is there another way to do this? And then he
reds to his father's answer, not my will, but yours
be done. I say that because it establishes something that

(03:11):
I think speaks to today. He's God. He knows what's
about to happen. He knows that Judas has already struck
a deal. He knows that, even though Judas is probably
hanging out right next to him, he's betrayed him and
he will betray him tomorrow. He knows that tomorrow is

(03:35):
the last Supper. He knows that tomorrow he will be
handed over and arrested. He knows he'll be brought before Pilate.
He knows that the root of all of this is
the religious leaders of the times. He knows what's coming.

(04:01):
It is the literal calm before the storm. And ask yourself,
if you knew now this is gonna be this is
gonna be tough, if you knew that your days would

(04:24):
end in two days, how would that weigh on your mind? Now?
Understanding all of that is is run through the filter
of He's God, and he knows the end before even

(04:49):
the beginning. But he's still wrestling with what's coming. And
he doesn't deflect, he doesn't deter, he doesn't change course.
And I just I think about what he was thinking

(05:10):
on this day as he likely rested for one last time.
Wednesday was his final night of rest before Good Friday,

(05:32):
which at the time you'd say that wasn't very good.
But it sure turned out that way, didn't it. Ten
past the hours The Morning Show with Preston Scott, I
say you are all essential workers. Welcome to The Morning

(05:53):
Show with Preston Scott. Inside the American Patriots Almanac for
the sixteenth day of the month, take a peek in here.

(06:14):
Seventeen eighty nine, President elect George Washington leaves Mount Vernon
for his inauguration in New York City. Yeah, New York,
eighteen sixty two. You had to fast forward all the
way to eighteen sixty two for the next significant event
on this date. Abraham Lincoln signs a bill ending slavery

(06:34):
in the District of Columbia nineteen twelve. By the Way Republican.
In nineteen twelve, Harriet Quimby becomes the first woman to
fly across the English Channel. Nineteen forty seven, much of
Texas City, Texas is destroyed when a ship carrying fertilizer
blows up in the harbor, killing nearly six hundred. Nineteen

(06:59):
sixty three, Martin Luther King Junior writes his letters from
Birmingham Jail while incarcerated for protesting against segregation. Man, we've
got some sorriness in our past, but that's what you
get with people. And in two thousand and seven, deadly

(07:20):
a school shooting in US history, thirty three dead at
Virginia Tech. I was on the air. We talked about
that story, and we still haven't made the obvious change
of allowing students and faculty to carry firearms on most campuses.

(07:44):
Campuses are cities. They're cities, and bad people ignore the
sign that says gun free zone, firearms are not permitted
on campus. You know what a bad person says? Yeah? Whatever,

(08:05):
Like the guy went to the Strozier Library and on
Florida State University. He didn't care about the science. I
what what foolishness that we're going to It would be
the equivalent of watching two mma fighters or boxers and

(08:25):
we're going to tell one of them you will have
one hand tied behind your back, good luck, or both
hands good luck. The other guy. He can swing away.
You defend yourself without using your hands. Oh and you
got to win two? No chance. And that's what we do.

(08:48):
We still haven't learned, Still have not learned. All right,
let's see, it's National Day of Pathways. It's National Pathway Day.
And I don't think it's talking about strolling. National Banana Day,

(09:09):
Underrated Fruit, National Being Counter Day, National Orchid Day. You know,
it's crazy about orchids. They don't look real when you
see it, an orchid growing, so many of them. It's

(09:32):
a hobby for some people. Some people just grow orchids,
and I can see why because they don't look real.
National health Care Decisions Day, National Where your Pajamas to
Work Day? And National Eggs Benedict Day. Oh, my goodness,

(09:59):
Eggs Benedict. I don't know when I was introduced to
eggs Benedict. Had to be my mom had to be.
It was love at first bite and I've had an
attachment to and no phony eggs Benedict. It has to

(10:25):
be an English muffin, Canadian bacon, not bacon, not sausage,
Canadian bacon eggs that when you cut into them are
running poached but still soft. Hollandaise sauce over the top,
a little paprika. Oh yeah, yeah, m hm. Actually I

(10:53):
think I'm done for the day. I'm gonna go get
some eggs. Benedict Ose, good luck. Seventeen minutes past the hour.
He's gonna take you the rest of the way here
in the luggage. Twenty two minutes past the hour. Today,

(11:16):
Ron Sex will join US Sex Media. Ron is really
spearheading an effort to get organ donations up to appropriate levels.
We are woefully short in Sunshine State. I'm an organ
donor in that, you know, should something happen and they

(11:40):
find something useful to help somebody else in my body,
that's terrific. It's really about just understanding what one can
do to benefit others, even in death. And Ron lost

(12:01):
his daughter back a couple of years ago, and she
explicitly made it clear she wanted to be an organ donor.
And you know, Ron discusses his story and it's remarkable,
it's inspiring. But ran into him. He and I've been

(12:25):
long friends, though very politically different. Ron was former Press
secretary for Governor Lawton Childs many years ago. He helps
a lot of He and his business have helped a
lot of organizations over the years, pro bono, just helping.
He's very good at what he does and has built

(12:48):
a tremendous business. And though we like he says, we
disagree on a lot of things politically, he has been
one of my biggest encouragers, one of my biggest supporters.
And I ran into him back a couple of weeks
ago and he said, hey, would you be willing? I said,

(13:10):
say no more, I'm all in. Let's go, let's talk
about it. And so he's a dear friend. And I
think a living and breathing example that people with very
different political ideals don't have to shelf a friendship, right,
And that's a real sad thing that's happened in our

(13:31):
culture today. And I'm very passionate about what I believe,
and so is Ron. But we can talk and we
can just say ah and disagree and that's okay. That
just anyway. Did you see this? The earthquake that hit
southern cal this week five point two happened Monday. Did

(14:00):
you hear what happened at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
There's video of this and you ought to see it.
It's really amazing. Now Safari Park is different than the
zoo in that the Safari Park is literally it's more
of an open range type thing, but it is run.

(14:22):
And I've only been to the San Diego Zoo once
and it was when I was a child, and it
was breathtaking. That zoo probably hooked me on zoos. And
it would be my opinion that every zoo in the
world has tried to pattern itself in its development or
redevelopment as San Diego Zoo because the enclosures, even at

(14:44):
the zoo itself, not the Safari Park, but the zoo,
are these open kind of enclosures that are friendly to
animals that are being rescued and hopefully populations saved, and
on and on. But the elephants formed what they call
an alert circle the second the earthquake started. The video

(15:04):
shows the male or the adult elephants forming a ring
around the juveniles and it's something that they intuitively do
to protect young members of the herd from any threats.
And of course normally it would be maybe you know,
a lion or a tiger, or you know hyenas or

(15:28):
something like that. No, no, this was an earthquake that
triggered it and so they chose at ten am, encircling
the young and once you know, elephants have amazing hearing
and their feet obviously like us. We you know, they
felt the rumble through the ground and once it subsided,

(15:54):
they went right back about to their normal business. They
remained close, they didn't they didn't wander far from each other.
But the circle ended when the earthquake ended. It's just
it's crazy how first come on, elephants are smart. They

(16:18):
are could be why Republicans chose an elephant, Democrats chose well.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, It's The Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Good morning and welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Happy to be here with you

(16:46):
once again, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, males and
females only. It's The Morning Show with Preston scottis OSAM
Preston the big stories in the press Box today p
r e s Box as in press to just saying

(17:07):
an interesting assembly of just quick little nuggets. Here. Lead
research assistant of the program sent me this. And when
the lead research assistant sends me anything, it it's elevated.
No offense to the rest of the team. They understand it.

(17:29):
It's a post. It wasn't an article. It was a
post by Frank Luntz, who you know, a lot of
people have different ideas and opinions. He's kind of upholster,
sort of kind of analyst. Used to work with Fox.
He might be with seeing It. I don't know where
he is now anyway. Two questions, America would be better
off if more people worked in manufacturing. Eighty percent of

(17:51):
Americans agree, I would be better off if I worked
in a factory. Five percent of Americans degree seventy three
percent disagree. Now, the conclusion some are drawing from this is, well,

(18:12):
that's that's that's typical. People don't want to do it themselves,
but they think it would be better if everybody else did.
I'm not so certain it's not wording if people worked
in manufacturing. I would be better off if I worked

(18:33):
in a factory. Manufacturing versus factory. It has a different
feel to it, doesn't it a factory? Just kind of anyway,
I just thought it was interesting. No matter how you
look at it, it's an interesting snapshot. President Trump asking
Congress to eliminate funding for NPR and PBS. Those folks

(18:58):
over there are nerve this, and they ought to be.
First of all, you think iHeartRadio would love to see
some of that one point one billion for corporate public
broadcasting and eight point three billion for us AID that

(19:18):
goes to these two outlets. We're talking roughly nine and
a half billion dollars of taxpayer money for woke programming
that only supports one side of the equation. And oh,
by the way, we have to compete against them. It's

(19:42):
just it's patently wrong. Let those souls go out there
and work for advertising like our people do, let them
have to live with commercial breaks like we do, and
they get to get in the ratings. That's just wrong. Look,

(20:04):
our program's number one a lot in the mornings, but
sometimes we're behind them, and they shouldn't even be counted.
It's wrong. It's totally unfair. Scott Jennings, speaking of funding,
what do you make of of, for example, Harvard a
fifty three billion dollar endowment and they're taking and they're

(20:28):
getting federal money. Why should any private school get private
get federal money. Hillsdale College replied to this, putting a
post up saying you can do what we do, except
no federal money and then this little nugget. Honda is

(20:52):
considering moving some of its production from Canada and Mexico
to the United States. Their goal is to ensure ninety
percent of US sales are with vehicles produced in America.
How do we lose with getting Honda, getting the automobile
makers to make their cars here? How do we lose jobs?

(21:18):
Lower prices, trickle down economy? Brilliant forty minutes past those
told you it was an interesting assortment of stories. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Okay, I'm gonna show

(21:45):
Josea pictures. How old do you think this guy is?
About thirty four or thirty five? Maybe you think he's
that old. I look at him and I think this
is a dude that's twenty two years old doing keggers
at a frat party. He looks like a kid in college.

(22:11):
He is, in fact, an advisor to the Defense Secretary
Pete Hesath. Sorry he was an advisor. He was escorted
out of the Pentagon yesterday for unauthorized disclosure. He was
a leaker. Have to put depends on that young man

(22:39):
because he was a leaquer Now that's apparently he's on
administrative leave. For an unauthorized disclosure. Don't know the nature
of it, don't know what it's all about. I just
can't get over that. This guy looks like he ought
to be wearing a toga. He just he just does

(23:03):
I mean does he? I mean, he's probably as qualified
as they come. He's probably an analytical genius or something.
But I look at this this guy's photo, and I'm thinking, yeah,
college frat boy to the core. Anyway, this is the
story I really wanted to focus on here. Do you
know the name Judge Indira Talwanee. She's a district judge

(23:30):
appointed by Barack Obama, and she is the one that
has issued to stay on the Trump administration's efforts to
terminate the legal status of five hundred and thirty thousand
foreign nationals allowed into the United States under the CCHNV

(23:56):
parole program. Do you remembermember, when we chronicled Biden's efforts
to bring people fly them into the country bypassed the border.
We flew them in. We paid for it. You sorry,
you all paid for it. I didn't pay for it. Now,
I'm just kidding. Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, at Venezuela, non citizens

(24:25):
flown into this country. She says, a district court says
that there have to be five hundred and thirty thousand
individual cases, that each of them must be reviewed one
at a time. She's a campaign contributor to Barack Obama

(24:51):
and Elizabeth Warren. See, this is something that there are
those that believe that they have every right to give
money to whatever political candidate they want. And I'm sympathetic
to that argument, except if you want to be a judge.

(25:11):
If you want to be a judge, you cannot give
to political campaigns. That's just my opinion, unless you're willing
to recuse yourself from all politically affiliated cases, and then
that's fine. First district judge weighing in on national policy.

(25:36):
This goes back to the lawfair that Oh, by the way,
we're going to address next hour on the program. I'm
going to demonstrate lawfair for you. I have proof, I
have proof of demonstration of demons. I have demonstrate I
have proof to demonstrate that democrats are organizing lawfair, specifically

(25:57):
on your dime. This is an example of lawfare in action.
A district judge taking control of US foreign policy five
hundred and thirty thousand individual cases. Are you nuts? They

(26:20):
never should have been allowed in the country to begin with.
We picked them up. We literally said to half a
million foreign immigrants not here legally, hey, we'll we'll send
a plane. Just wait for us forty seven minutes past

(26:44):
the hour, no vetting, nothing, nothing, a friend of the program.

(27:10):
Hong Kong Postal Service will stop handling packages coming from
or going to the United States in a retaliatory move.
The exemption applied to international statement that DA It says
here that the exemption applied to international shipments worth eight

(27:36):
hundred dollars or less entering the United States. Okay, all right,
So I mean I don't know if that is really
going to affect stuff coming to you through Amazon and
all these other retailers that are shipping straight from China.

(27:59):
But in my world, awesome, because I've made the mistake
on a couple of occasions of ordering something through Amazon
that didn't they did not disclose was coming from China,
and it came like three months later, and it's like, yeah,
I don't want it anymore. That window of opportunity is passed. Hey,

(28:26):
back to the immigration issue here for a second. I
got this story and I had to look at it
twice Senator Chris van Holland, Democrat from Maryland, He's planning
to fly to El Salvador to show solidarity with the

(28:47):
MS thirteen gang member that was sent to the country,
and El Salvador's president said, yeah, I'm I'm not sending
him back. You think I'm said in a terrorist back
Now the US accidentally deported him. Maybe may have it

(29:14):
may have been, but El Salvador said, no, he's a
gang member of MS thirteen and we are well aware
of his I mean, he was branded a terrorist by
his own country, you know. Pam Bondi spelled it out.
Attorney General the United States said, listen, we can't make
them send him back. But in no reality will he

(29:37):
have a home here. It's not going to happen. It's
not going to happen if I'm if I'm running against
Chris van Holland whenever he comes up for reelection. This
is absolutely messaging one oh one. Chris van Holland flew

(29:58):
to El Salvador to stand in solidarity his words, not mine,
with an MS thirteen gang member. Is this really what
you want representing us in the United States Senate? Done? Done?
So many opportunities out there have you ever heard of

(30:19):
a northern snakehead fish. It is an invasive species from Asia.
Found its way into the United States in a pond
in Maryland in two thousand and two. Now it has
found its way into the Potomac River and all the

(30:40):
way to Missouri. Here's how it looks like a python.
It can crawl out of the water, and it can
breathe air if it stays moist for days days. So

(31:01):
US Fish and Wildlife is asking you kill it. To
catch one, kill it, cut its head off, take pictures,
send it all right. Five past the hour. It's Wednesday

(31:41):
here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, and I
came across a piece by Ellie Pernell of The Federalist,
and I'm gonna take a few minutes to go through this.
It's Holy Week. It is a week that should be

(32:05):
like any other week for a Christian. You gotta be
acting like a Christian all the time. But it's a
week that should hyper focus us on our faith, a
reminder of the work of Christ. But then you come

(32:26):
across things like this and Ellie calls it out on
Palm Sunday, New York Times makes an ancient mistake about Jesus,
and I'm just going to share a little bit of
what she wrote, and then we're going to talk about
a little bit. Palm's Sunday op ed takes the same

(32:46):
small view of Christ's mission that the cheering crowds hoping
for an anti Roman revolt did. Many in the crowd
that cheered Jesus's entry on Palm's Sunday mistook his mission
as one to eradicate their political rulers, rather than eradicate
sin in their own hearts. Two thousand years later, you

(33:06):
can find the same mistake in the pages of the
New York Times. Here's where it gets interesting. It's an
op ed written by a recently resigned Episcopal reverend Andrew Thayer,
who argues that Palm's Sunday was not a protest, was
a sorry Palm Sunday was a protest, not a procession. Jesus,

(33:29):
he says, was killed for threatening the power of the
Roman Empire, an empire which theyer draws explicit parallels to
the United States under Trump and quote Christian nationalism, whatever
that means. He says, Jesus's arrival into Jerusalem was an
act of political confrontation Jesus, in Thair's telling, came to

(33:53):
dismantle the very logic of Caesar. The belief that might
make that that might makes right. Peace comes through violence,
and politics is best wielded through fear, coercion, and control.
I'm gonna stop right there for a second point. Number one.
This illustrates the absolutely horrid scripture and Bible being taught

(34:19):
in churches. Did he resign in disgrace? Was? I don't
have time to do a background check on this guy's
personal background, but what I can tell you is there
are children in Sunday school at churches across the country
that know more than he does Jesus Jesus came and

(34:48):
that it was a protest against Caesar. Now I'm gonna
get to this in a little more depth here in
the next segment, but this illustrates, first of all, how

(35:10):
bad teaching is and how someone can unwittingly get an
organization that is as secular as they come with the
New York Times, to publish rubbish like this and feature
it as a Palm Sunday commentary. This is garbage, complete

(35:36):
and total garbage. Is that what Episcopalians believe the crowds
and we talked about this even last week. The crowds
expected Jesus to come kick but politically that's what they expected.

(35:58):
That's why the cloaks were on the You find in
the Old Testament examples of I think it was Jehu
where they took their cloaks off and put them on
the ground for their king. And when he wasn't that,
they turned on him and called for his crucifixion when
given the chance, because he didn't live up to their expectations.

(36:23):
This is, though not just a misrepresentation, a misunderstanding by
a bunch of secularists. This is a guy who's pretending
to be a pastor, a priest, a reverend, a man
who is allegedly trained to teach God's word. And so
because you have Episcopal Reverend Andrew Thayer as the author,

(36:48):
people immediately assign value to it and an authenticity and
accuracy of its interpretation of scripture. And this is so wrong.
Ten past the hour. No, I'm not done well. You

(37:09):
are challenged to make a difference each and every day.
Would you do that for us? Please? Please, just a little,
just try it wid you. This is the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. We're talking about an op ed in
the New York Times on Palm Sunday titled Palm Sunday
was a protest, not a procession, a resigned Episcopal Reverend

(37:32):
Andrew Thayer arguing and to go backwards just a moment,
that Jesus's arrival in the Jerusalem was an act of
quoting now political confrontation. He came to dismantle the very
logic of Caesar, the belief that might makes right, peace
makes through the Jesus had nothing to do with political

(37:54):
empires in dismantling. He doesn't need to. He's God. Jesus
came to go back to kids in Sunday School know
this better than the right reverend. Jesus came to take
the punishment for our sins so that we could be

(38:16):
reunited with God by his grace. Jesus wasn't protesting Caesar.
He had just said days before, render to Caesar. What
is Caesar? What belongs to him? Give to him? Do
you remember the actual chronology of events? He was brought

(38:37):
before ponscious Pilot, the man whom Caesar put in charge
of that region. The Jews tried to portray Jesus as
someone claiming to stand against Rome. Jesus is like, uh, nope,
I'm just I'm here doing something else. Pilot asked Jesus

(39:05):
what his crime had been. Jesus responds, my kingdom is
not of this world. If it were, my servants would
fight to prevent my arrest. Pilot ends this entire acquisition
by saying, I find no fault in him, Take him away.

(39:26):
The reverend loses sight that it was the religious leaders
of the time that wanted Christ killed and in fact
had him killed. Briefly, briefly, Pilot found no fault. Jesus

(39:50):
said to Pilot, am I leading a rebellion that you
have come out with swords and clubs to capture me.
It was the mis representation. Here's what's fascinating. It was
the misrepresentation of the religious leaders of the time that
led to the arrest. Now, it was all part of

(40:13):
the prophetic plan of Christ that God had ordained. That's
why Jesus said, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing.
But isn't it interesting how scriptural ignorance led to this?
And here we are two thousand years later a quote

(40:34):
reverend writing a piece in the New York Times using
scriptural ignorance all over again, if it doesn't illustrate and
demonstrate that what goes around comes around, and that we
might have all the technology and quote knowledge in the world,

(40:59):
but we're no different. We are just sinners. I wanted
to share this because I wanted to emphasize, first of all,
in Holy Week, the importance of knowing God's word, so
that if you see rubbish like this, you can call
it for what it is and move on. Would you

(41:22):
know reading into this man's op ed, just the few
words that I shared from it, would you know that
he was wrong? Would you know that I'm challenging you
to know God's word? Sixteen minutes past the outum when

(41:45):
we come back, some sound you must here to enjoy?

(42:12):
All right? Trying to find SoundBite here? Good grief, I
had it? Where is it? Oh my goodness? This is

(42:36):
This is courtesy of the Gateway Pundit and it's representative
Laura Friedman of California. Now she has she's got anger
issues to begin with. She's a very very very unhappy

(43:05):
person and it comes out in just how she says
what she says, and in this case, she's explaining something
that's happening on the taxpayer dime. That is stunning. She's

(43:28):
admitting this on c SPAN as she's talking to voters
about the agenda of Trump, and I want you to
listen to what she admits to. I've got an important
pops not there. Hold on, come on, come on, come on,
come back, come on, get done, get done now. We

(43:49):
got to get done with this one too, and to
one go.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Every single week, we have a litigation working group where
a large group of us and I'm talking this, maybe
seventy five members of the House sit down every single
week with the AGS to talk about legal strategy. This
is all going on every single week behind the scenes.
It is NonStop, NonStop talk, non stop introduction of bills

(44:15):
and legislation, NonStop being on social media as much as
we can without being throttled and without the you know,
crazy analytics and doing all these things.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Every week, seventy five Democrats elected members of Congress are
sitting around with attorney generals from different states, conducting meetings,
finding ways to file lawsuits. She said at some point

(44:52):
that you know, to concoct bills as well. This is
shadow government. They are being paid by taxpayers to cripple
Trump's ability to do what you elected him to do.

(45:12):
You're footing the bill. This is lawfair, this is still
what we're dealing with. I had someone forward me a
note in the break Stephen Miller said that he was
not mistakenly sent to L. Salvador, the MS thirteen gang member.

(45:36):
He said, not at all. He's an illegal from illegal
alien from L. Salvador. In twenty nineteen. He was ordered
deported twenty nineteen. He said there was a saboteur in

(45:57):
the state department that said it was a mistake. He
said it wasn't a mistake. So that story I thought
that was a storyline that it was a mistake. Uh huh,
it wasn't a mistake. And as we demonstrated yesterday with
Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff, brilliant legal mind, there

(46:22):
is an order that has to be followed, and it's
an order of deportation. See you, it's not even discussed.
So I just wanted to illustrate how and I apologize
for fumbling around there for a second. I wanted to
illustrate how Democrats meet every single week to plan ways

(46:45):
with state attorney generals and see the state attorney generals
know every judge in there in their state, federal, state, local,
they know they know where to bring lawsuits. Who's going
to be sympathetic. That's a lawfare and you're paying for it.

(47:07):
Twenty seven minutes past the hour, Big Stories in the
press Box coming up. But thirty five minutes past the hour,

(47:27):
Big Stories in the Press Box got an added little
nugget here from the research assistant supervisor, Rob sent something
my way that I think needs to be shared with you.
Honda Wing plans to move some of its auto production
to the United States from Canada and Mexico. They are

(47:49):
now telling a Japanese newspaper that their goal is to
ensure ninety percent of US sales are with vehicles produced
in America. Now, that leads to the second little nugget here,
Frank Lawton's posting results of a little survey America would
be better off if more people worked in manufacturing. Eighty

(48:11):
percent of Americans degree, twenty percent disagree. I would be
better off if I worked in a factory. Twenty five
percent of Americans agree, seventy three percent disagree. Two percent
currently work in a factory. There are a lot of
ways to look at that. Some have pointed to the
difference in the word manufacturing versus factory. That factory just

(48:33):
has kind of a sweat shop, you know, kind of
negative connotation. But I think this is perhaps that seventy
three percent think they have a job that they like
better than being in a factory. I would put myself
in that category. So I'm just saying there are a
couple ways to look at that. It's just interesting a
lot of Americans believe in the ideal of manufacturing. There

(48:57):
you go, hello Honda, meet America. Trump directing Congress to
defund NPR and PBS. It's about freaking time that needs
to happen. Yesterday, Scott Jennings on CNN, pointing out that
why in the world should Harvard, a private school, begetting
any money from the federal government when it's sitting on

(49:18):
a fifty three billion dollar endowment to begin with. Besides,
it's a private school, why should it get what again?
Just pointing to the problems that we are uncovering. Doose
is uncovering, The news cycle is uncovering, events are uncovering.
And then there's this exchange Carolyn Levitt, White House Press Secretary.

(49:39):
How fun is it to have someone that doesn't need notes?

Speaker 3 (49:42):
I'm still going off the Al Salvador questions.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Yesterday in the Oval Office, administration officials made it very
clear that Al Salvador is responsible for mister Robrido Garcia.
Yet Al Salvador's president said, we are, We're not going to.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Do anything with him. So my question is who is
responsible for this man and where he's going to end up.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Well, No, first of all, President bu Kelly said that
he is not going to smuggle a foreign terrorist back
into the United States of America as many in this
room in the Democrat Party seemingly want him to do.
Abrago Garcia was a foreign terrorist, he is an MS
thirteen gang member, He was engaged in human trafficking. He

(50:21):
illegally came into our country, and so deporting him back
to El Salvador was always going to be the end result.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
There is never going.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
To be a world in which this is an individual
who's going to live a peaceful life in Maryland because
he is a foreign terrorist and an MS thirteen gang member.
Not only have we confirmed that, President Bukelly yesterday.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
In the Oval Office confirmed that as well.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
So he went back to his home country where he
will face consequences for his gang affiliation and.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
His engagement in human trafficking.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
I'm not sure what is so difficult about this for
everyone in the media to understand. And it's appalling, truly
appalling that there has been so much time covering this
alleged human trafficker and this gang member MS thirteen gang member.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
It's truly striking to me.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
That's that right there is where the King Minion holding
the microphone, looks over his nose and drops it on
the ground. That is epic mic drop territory right there.
She should have just closed her book and walked away.
But the beauty of Carolyn Levity is she doesn't need
her notes. She knows policy. The difference between her and

(51:39):
Koreem At least Jensaki knew what she was talking about.
She was wrong because of who she worked for, but
she did her job properly. Karen Jean Pierre was classic
DEI Higher, classic DEI Higher. No chance of her actually

(52:01):
being a spokesman spokesperson for anything anybody, but for the
fact that she was a female black, she was totally
incapable of the job. And the thing about it is,
there are all kinds of wonderful candidates who may have
been female in black, but she's the classic case of

(52:23):
a DEI hire. Forty minutes past, they remember my What
the Heck from yesterday?

Speaker 5 (52:31):
Part three is next Drive version of an audio magazine
and keeping you company as you prepare for your day.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott ground Sachs, founder
of SAS Media.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Will join me in the next half hour. We're going
to talk about being an organ donor floida's way behind
what roughly fifty percent of where it needs to be,
and there are people waiting. This really isn't a doom
and gloom topic. It is trying to bring something good

(53:08):
out of oftentimes tragedy, and as you well know, we
talk about things that a lot of other people are
n't comfortable talking about. That's mymo So I've done my
whole life. I've been the guy that brought up the
topic that nobody else wanted to talk about. I'm okay

(53:30):
with that. I've always been comfortable talking about things that
are uncomfortable for a lot of people. Now, yesterday I
did two separate segments called What the Heck? Part one
and Part two, just looking at stories in the news
that just are shocking for different reasons. Perhaps the common

(53:55):
thread is the reaction. What the heck Taylor Lorenz is.
She's an interesting character. She's independent. Now I believe she

(54:17):
may be at one point worked for the New York Times.
But during a CNN interview talking about the accused murderer
of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, remember how he was
shot in the back by a coward and we're pretty
sure who killed him. I won't use his name. He's

(54:42):
a pitiful loser. But listen to what she says about him.
You're going to see women, especially that feel like, oh
my god, here's this man who's a revolutionary, who's famous,
who's handsome, who's young, who's smart, He's a person that
seems this morally good man, which is hard to Now,

(55:08):
the horror generated from her comments online justifiable, but she's
actually trying to justify her comments. She's trying to clarify
her comments. Now, the fact that there are sorry women
attracted to this, and there are serial killers frequently have

(55:36):
women writing them. It's interesting. You generally don't see serial
killer women that have some kind of fatal attraction with
certain men out there. Usually men aren't writing letters to
serial killer women, but for whatever reason, are attracted to

(56:00):
serial killer man or in this case, just an outright
coward assassin. This little punk has actually has love letters
being written to him by the hundreds. And she's trying
to talk about how his supporters see him as a

(56:22):
good moral That's not what she said. And I just
I just think we are we are a culture. And
again this is not new. It's just it's bigger, grander,

(56:42):
greater because of social media. But we're we're lifting up
this guy and his murder of a husband and father
and a guy who runs a because you don't like

(57:04):
the policies of the healthcare system and how it works. Sometimes,
guess what get in line. Most everybody has a beef
with a healthcare system in some way, shape or form.
But what we don't do is we don't walk up
to CEOs in the middle of the night or anybody
else and shoot him in the back. That's what we

(57:24):
don't do. You're a sick, pud murderer who will be
nameless at least in these circles. But how sorry is
it that we have women that think this is he's hot?
Eh man? You know, that's how deep we are in

(57:47):
some circles forty six minutes past the hour, come back,
go back into the schools. Got a note, have you forgotten,

(58:12):
Karan Jean Pierre is also queer. They've returned to using
that preferred term. I didn't even know so, Jose you
knew that, yes, sir. She was very proud of that.

(58:34):
On her first day, she said, I am the first.

Speaker 6 (58:36):
Black gay ever had a history of didn't enter my Well,
there you go, de Ei all we got them all
in there, right, sweet, all right, let's go into the
squirrels here for a second.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Tomorrow from rush. I mentioned this story to Kat Camick. Yesterday,
a Texas Attorney General, not a the Texas Attorney General,
Ken Paxton, announced that the Dallas Independent School District has
agreed to an order to ensure the district is not
violating state law by allowing trans athletes to compete in

(59:13):
girls' sports. The agreement comes after Paxton requested records from
Dallas Independent School District following the release of a video
that showed a school district official explaining loopholes to a
parent on how they could get their biological male child
on a girls' sports team. Altered birth certificates. First of all,

(59:38):
there you go. Second of all, there you go, birth certificates.
You can't use birth certificates as the measuring tool for this.
It has to be d NA, it must be genetic testing,

(59:59):
must b It's funny how you get you know, certain
common sense solutions just amplified in a story like that
in the second paragraph that the school official was teaching
the parent how to do it via altered birth certificate,

(01:00:21):
not just altered just I think in forty seven states
you can just change it does have it changed. In Maine.
MAGA parents shows up at the Augusta school board meeting

(01:00:45):
congratulating six members that voted to ban this is Maine
to ban males from competing against females. Only school district
to do it, But he took issue with the one
member of the school board that refused. The chairman of
the school board proceeded to have the guy removed. It's crazy.

(01:01:14):
Negative comments will not be allowed. See they clearly haven't
read what the Supreme Court says about stuff like that.
You cannot tell a member of the public what they
can and cannot say with regard to it. Can't be negative.

(01:01:35):
Sorry if it is now profanity, abusive threats, absolutely see you.
But to simply point out that one of the school
board members voted in favor of allowing men to compete
against women in sports in Maine. Crazy. Sorry, that was

(01:02:02):
not the school district that did it. The school district
that did it was the main school Administrative District number seventy.
They voted unanimously to comply. So you've got one school
board that's that threatens a guy because he calls him out,
and you got another school board that's saying, no, we're
going to do what Trump says inside the state that

(01:02:25):
doesn't say anything about it. So it's going to be
interesting to sit back and watch what happens. All right,
when we come back, Ron Sackswell join us on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott five past the Hour. It's

(01:02:49):
the third hour of show five three and fifty nine
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston. He's
ose great to be with you, friends, Ruminators. We appreciate
you making time for us, and trust me when I
say I do not take for granted your time. Thank
you so very much, and I'm pleased to talk about

(01:03:10):
things that oftentimes just kind of get left behind the
noise of the news just seems to drown out sometimes
some of the more important things, and to kind of
push one of those things front and center. I am
joined by a friend of mine. I call Ron Sacks
a friend, even though we don't share a lot of

(01:03:32):
political things in common. But what we do share in
common is a common love and respect for one another
in our professions and the ability to have the conversation.
And as I pointed out, Ron, you have been always
so charitable and kind in your support of me and

(01:03:53):
this program, and thank you for that. But welcome to
the show, well, Presidence.

Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
Thank you. You know I've always called you for you
the morning Star of Tallahasse. You're a national quality talent,
and we're fortunate that you love this community so much
you've chosen to stay. And while I disagree with you frequently,
and I sometimes talk out loud when I'm listening to
the program when I'm shaving in the morning, I learn
a lot from you. You only learn from people if
you listen, even if you disagree with them. So you

(01:04:20):
have helped inform this community on so many issues. And
we don't disagree about this. We can be civil. The
people we disagree with and make the world a better place.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Yeah. You and I, I think are a great example
of people being very different in terms of some ideology.
There are a lot of things you and I agree on,
but that you can have those conversations and still give
each other a hug and yuck it up and be friends.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
Absolutely. When I ran into you a few weeks ago,
I think at Walmart, it was a stop and chat
in seinfeld In language for Kunter of fifteen minutes, and
it was a joy highlight of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
I want to circle into why we're visiting this morning,
and to do that, I think it's important for us
to learn about your daughter, Amy. Tell us about her, Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:05:04):
Amy Nicole Sachs was my middle of three daughters. She
was the premature, so she was thirty eight years old
in twenty twenty three, four foot ten, one hundred pounds,
A rabid journalist, baseball fan, and her greatest joy professionally
was covering the Braves for MLB dot Com in the
press box with the bastion of men. Mostly she knew

(01:05:27):
more about baseball than almost any ten men put together.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
In May of twenty twenty three, Amy had terrible neck
pain and a few days later, after being admitted to
the hospital, had a small stroke. If there's such a thing,
there is. She was recovering from it, and several days later,
on May twenty eighth, she had a major stroke, a
devastatingly powerful stroke that plunged her into a condition called

(01:05:53):
locked in syndrome. She was on a ventilator. She would
never be able to talk or breathe on her own,
or have any kind of movement or normal life for
this active young woman. And she could think, she could
feel emotion, but the only physical action she had control
over on her body were her eyes. She could open
and close her eyes, and when we had them awaken

(01:06:16):
her on May thirtieth, we gathered around her to tell
her what had happened to her, to make sure she understood,
and asked her, if you want to live like this,
we can do what people do with machines and doctors
and institutions, but if you don't want to live like this,
let me know by closing your eyes. And she closed
her eyes instantly, so tight that her eye lids wrinkled.

(01:06:38):
And then I said, you know you've had it on
your driver's license since you were sixteen, that you want
to be an organed downer. If you're choosing to leave
this life, do you want to donate your organs to
help other people live? And she shut her eyes immediately again.
So we spent the entirety of that day May thirtieth
telling her how much we loved her, and just loving

(01:07:00):
on her individually and together. My oldest daughter, Samantha, who
was had her little sister's side religiously from dawn till dark,
those whole nearly two weeks so to Amy's last days
on this earth. We didn't know we were going to
lose her, but we're so proud of the brave decision
she made and impressed in a week before she died,
Amy's land in bed, hooked up to an IV recovering

(01:07:23):
from the first stroke. We're thinking she's making good progress
with the physical therapist and Samantha. Amy loved music, loved
to sing, turns on her phone Michael Jackson song Man
in the Mirror and if you know it, it's a
very inspiring song about and Amy's rocking for forty seven
seconds in bed on an ivy lips thinking the song

(01:07:44):
with just crushing some phillips think and that is a
treasure to us because after Amy passed, Gary Jordon, a
good friend, Josh mclahorn, Jay Revel, and Samantha turned it
into a one minute public service announcement to help spur
people to register as organ donors. And that's what April is.

(01:08:06):
It's National Donate Life Month. And many of your listeners
may be organ donors, but many of them are not.
And it's a pretty painless, free step to go to
Donatelife Florida dot org register to be an organ donor.
You know this is not all there is this life.
It's wonderful, but when our time here is through, how
wonderful to deepen your own legacy by leading the gift

(01:08:29):
of love and life to others by organ donation. Every day,
five thousand Sardians are waiting for a transplant of some sort,
and many of them are not going to make it
and have an extended life. And yet Amy saved the
lives of two young men in their twenties and a
young mom wife in her early forties.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Ron just stand by. I got to take a quick break.
We're going to come back. I want to pick up
right there because I know how meaningful that is to you,
and I want you to share that next eleven minutes
past the hour, Ron Sacks with me on the Morning
Show with Preston's Got the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:09:10):
You might not know what, friends, but sixty percent of
organ I tissue donors are authorized by donor registration. This
matters a lot. Joining me, the founder of sex Media
round Sachs and Ron. You were sharing how Amy's passing
led to life transformation for others. Share a little bit

(01:09:33):
more about that.

Speaker 7 (01:09:34):
Sure, well, you know, when you become a donor, you
really don't know where the organs are going, and neither
there's your family. But you're allowed to write a letter,
as called it, a blind letter without any details about
who you are or who the donor was, and through
Donate Life and its related organizations, these letters get to
the people who were recipients of organs. And my daughter

(01:09:58):
Samantha took the lead for our fan family in writing
the letters to find you know, hopefully just the reassurance
to the two young men and the young mom who
received Amy's organs and didn't get a response. And she's
not a patient person sometimes, so she wrote another letter
and somehow the woman over in Mems, Florida, Chris Bannie,

(01:10:20):
who got the second letter, figured out how to find us.
And the largest single thing that's helped our healing about
losing Amy is actually knowing one of the people who's
alive because of her and Chris. Amy did not just
save Chris's life with her liver, she saved Christy's family unit.
So two teenage boys instead of getting pre written cards

(01:10:43):
and letters, their mom was preparing because she thought she
was going to pass there with her for Christmas and birthdays,
and so is her husband. So it's been a huge
part of our healing. Chris considers herself and we consider
her part of our family, and we're part of hers.
So this really impacts people. Well, one person's skin can
help seventy five people's lives, and again it's kind of painless.

(01:11:07):
You can do this by going to Donatelifeflorida dot orgon
register and the more people who register, the more lives
are likely to be saved. And again, this is not
all there is. These are just vehicles our bodies that
we're using this time around, And why not when you're
done with your pathway here, leave something in a gift
of love and life to others. That's what April is

(01:11:27):
it's National Donate Life Month, and we hope that this
PSA that features Amy, and there will be other PSAs
will go statewide. Where we launched a statewide organ donor
registration campaign a couple of weeks ago, and there's never
been anything like it in Florida, the third largest state.
We hope it's going to be kind of a bell
weather that could be replicated in other states, because the

(01:11:49):
more of us who register, the more likely it is
that many lives will be saved.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Ron standby Ron Sacks with me this morning, founder of
SAX Media, and more importantly, we're talking today about Donatelifeflorida
dot organ where you can be an organ donor. We'll
talk a few more minutes next here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott twenty one minutes past the hour,

(01:12:22):
just a little bit more time with my friend Ron
Sachs from SAS Media. But more importantly, we're talking about
his daughter, Amy, who passed away in May of twenty
twenty three at the age of thirty eight, and who
was an organ donor and who transformed lives not just
of the recipient, but as Ron pointed out, this goes

(01:12:42):
upstream downstream in all directions because of the lives that
a donor recipient touches. It transforms everybody's life. And we're
talking about some realities are that are amazing and positive
and some that are a little negative. In one that
I want you to speak to is that in Florida,

(01:13:03):
registrations are below where they need to be.

Speaker 7 (01:13:06):
Tell us more well, and in some of the big,
large population urban areas. So that's the case too. That's
why this campaign is intended to have people open up
their hearts and open up their minds to this doesn't
cost you anything. It's free to register to be an
organ donor. That you know, the Donate Life Florida website
has so much information, a treasure drove of information, frequently

(01:13:28):
asked questions. Almost any pushback someone might have or reservations
about being an organ donor can be addressed by these
questions that are somewhat common. And this campaign is intended
to motivate people to register. You know, you can register
at tax collector's office when you're renewing a license tag
or driver's license, but people don't do that so frequently. Right,

(01:13:52):
So Donatelife Florida dot Org's website is a place you
can register sitting in your dams at the kitchen, countership
and coffee right and then you're on the registry. And
then whether you are a short term on a path
to leave us as Amy was and we didn't know that,
or you've been sick for a long time and it's
almost your time to check out the registry. Will know

(01:14:14):
that when notified and kick into action and liveably say
there's time is precious and short to get those organs
to people. There I match for you know, Amy's liver
reciping Chris Fannie, the first liver they brought to her
at Mayo up in Jacksonville was not going to be transplanted.
The surgeon didn't think, so she was kind of told

(01:14:35):
she was dying a second time. And then Amy, who
was sick in less than two weeks, her liver is
a match for Chris Fannie. And it's just amazing that
my daughter to me is alive and these three people
and her spirit is alive because her story is inspiring
lots of other people and there are many other inspiring stories.

(01:14:55):
So it's Donate Life month nationally and what you could do.
You're a listener to the Morning Star President Scott's go
to Donate Life Florida dot Or's website and register. It's quick,
it's painless, it's free. And again, once we leave this world,
we don't need this chassis and all of its parts anymore.
But if it could extend or enhance the life of

(01:15:16):
someone else, what a great way to deepen your own
legacy to be an organ donor.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Ron. You and I talked in the break about we
are we are kind of examples of two types of
people that are in the mix here. You were not
an organ donor until Amy, and I. When I first
saw that box when I was renewing my driver's license,
I don't even know how many years ago, I was like, oh,
well that makes sense, and I went ahead and checked

(01:15:42):
the box because, like you said, the chassis's done, but
the parts are still working, and so we both kind
of represent where people are right now. Perhaps well, Amy.

Speaker 7 (01:15:54):
You know, I immediately overcame any reservations I had about
it when my daughter showed me the one. My little
HAMI thirty eight showed me the way. So I'm an
organ donor now where the Donate Life bracelet on my
left wrist every day? That's how I start my day,
and this campaign, we hope is going to really light
up the universe of Florida and reach a lot of

(01:16:15):
people to take that action step. That's quick, it's painless,
it's free to go to Donatelife Florida dot organ and
register today. We'll be able to measure how many people's
lives we touched in terms who become donors, but we
won't be able to measure how many lives are positively
impacted by being saved or improved by these donations. And again,

(01:16:35):
one donor's skin tissue can help seventy five people. Think
about that, the math involved in that, and you know
one person's organs can help as many as eight people.
Amy helped three who are alive today because of her,
So it may be one of the bravest things you
ever do. And it's simply register and that act of

(01:16:57):
courage will save lives and enhance your own legs.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Ron, thanks for making time. I know it was a
little challenging, as it always is to talk about the
loss of your daughter, but thank you for sharing about Amy,
letting us get to know her a little bit better
and and uh being behind this this effort. I appreciate
it very much.

Speaker 7 (01:17:15):
Thank you for the generosity of your time and friendship.
For God bless you and your family, friends and listeners present.
Thanks so much for your generous time.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Thank you, Ron. Ron sex with us this morning on
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Let me remind you
donate Life Florida dot org. How simple is that? Donate
Life Florida dot org. I'll be honest with you. I
didn't wrestle with any questions on this. It just it.
It clicked the second I saw the box. The information

(01:17:48):
that's available to assuage any fears, it's all there for you.
Donate Life Florida dot org. You know we've we've talked
on this program for how many years now of making
a difference. I ended the show for years when I
first started it with the line make a difference, and

(01:18:11):
then instead of just talking about it, we transitioned into
the Mad Radio Network to make a Difference radio network,
to really try to put some some muscle behind it.
And this is this to me, was three of the best,
most important segments to reach that goal of making a difference.
This will make a difference. Twenty seven minutes after the hour,

(01:18:35):
Thank you, Ron for joining me this morning. You're in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 8 (01:18:40):
Consider him your truth detector. The Morning Show with Preston
Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Thirty five minutes after the hour. Right now, the Secretary
of Education Linda McMahon is with Pam Bondy and well
there's Riley Gaines and they are suing the United States
government is suing the state of Maine for not following

(01:19:20):
federal guidance on denying biological males the opportunity to compete
against women, boys against girls. No, we're not talking to
co ed leagues. That's not what we're talking about. It's

(01:19:41):
about time. It's about time to take this seriously and
deal with it because the governing bodies refuse. I'll tell
you what's going to be interesting the Olympics because as
they've got what two years to get it squared away,

(01:20:02):
a year and a half to get it squared away,
actually more, because you've got the competitions for the countries
that represent in the Olympics, their national competitions are gonna
be going on, and there are certain competitions where men
compete against women and just for a second. I want
you to think about the Olympics. Every four years, you
are competing, and you are timing your training to peak.

(01:20:27):
And if you're a woman, a biological female, wanting to
compete to represent your nation, to see if you're the
best in the world or one of the best in
the world, or the best in your nation or one
of the best in your nation, and you get defeated
by a man. Not the intended big story in the

(01:20:49):
press box, but it's breaking news. So there you go. Now,
I'm going to go ahead and make an adjustment here.
I'm going to do a carve out on the big
stories in the press box because after all, I've had
I've had two goes at these already this morning, so

(01:21:10):
I'll just set them for the one to eighty in
a few minutes. We are getting tremendous response. And I
don't know if Ron's out there still listening, but Ron
Jose signed up in the In the break in between segments,
I've got texts from buddies that say, Hey, I did this?

(01:21:32):
Is this is this being Yep, You're good. I'm getting email.
We're going to see this, We're going to see this happen.
We're gonna We're gonna get to the numbers we need.
There are I think five thousand people give or take waiting.
I just you know, I remember when my dad had

(01:21:52):
a kidney transplant. He needed a kidney. Now, we all
tested every one of the of of us, my siblings
and I, we absolutely volunteered and tested ourselves. My brother Patrick,
who's still surviving, was the best match, and so my Pat.

(01:22:16):
My brother Pat donated one of his two kidneys to
my dad, and it extended my dad's life by seven
ten years. And instead of having and he didn't die
of kidney failure, but instead of instead of having to
go through dialysis all the time, he was able to function.

(01:22:38):
And my brother laughed about the fact that they had
to take out one of his ribs to get the kidney.
He had the doctor autograph it. I kid you, not
my brother. Forty minutes past the hour, Donate Life Florida

(01:23:00):
dot org. How ironic. Letitia James, who went after Donald
Trump mercilessly still is, is now in the crosshairs of

(01:23:25):
the federal government because of accusations of falsifying records for
a home loan. Huh uh huh. Isn't that interesting? You
don't say anyway, that's not the topic. Here came across
a commentary. I want to say. It was in one

(01:23:45):
of the San Francisco newspapers, Sarah Hodgkiss, have you heard
of the R Evolution sculpture? The letter R dash hyphen
evolution are evolution. It is forty five feet tall. It

(01:24:10):
was It was made by Marco Cochrane. It is a
one hundred percent nude woman now positioned in San Francisco's
Barcadero Plaza. I know where it is, her butt facing

(01:24:37):
the Ferry building, her mechanized chest, yes, breasts exposed in
a statue. Certainly not the only sculpture in the world
showing a naked woman. The breath is mechanized, so it
breathes one hour a day. It moves in up and down,

(01:25:03):
and it's going to be there for six months, for
a year, and Sarah writes, as I gazed up at
this monumental steel and mesh sculpture, I felt embarrassed for
the city of San Francisco. Look, I don't write negative reviews.
Often when I do pan something, it's in the interest
of public service. Should I pay forty dollars for that?

(01:25:24):
And with the acknowledgment that I might not be the
intended audience of a certain thing. One of the several
problems with our evolution is that we are all the
audience for this thing, and no one asked us if
we wanted it. The Plaza, shadeless, polarizing, is a complex

(01:25:48):
site filled with real pieces of architectural and cultural history.
Our evolution made for a party in the desert, burning
man party. That's this was made for the burning man.
Thing has no relationship to its new urban surroundings in

(01:26:08):
everyday city life. And then there's the feminism of it all.
And she goes on and rails on that this is
just this is surreal. Because I'll be honest with you,
when I look at this, I am I'm embarrassed. I'm

(01:26:32):
embarrassed looking at this because it's to me, it's not art,
it's porn. I mean, this is a very large, real
representation of a naked woman, naked, naked legs, spread arms

(01:26:53):
to the side, and it's just what are we doing?
There was a time in our country that some might
look back and say, well, we were rather prudish back then,
or maybe we could describe it as we had some
sense of civility, taste, and decency. But if you listened

(01:27:19):
to television lately, have you listened to the profanity that
is now commonplace on routine television programs. We are blurring
the lines. Don't think that standing up against men wanting

(01:27:47):
to legally acquire young boys for sexual purposes. Don't think
that's an outlandish Oh well, that's choice. No, there's there's
a group, an organization that's around for a couple of
decades that believes in that. And as a culture begins
to erase the lines of decency, it moves closer and

(01:28:12):
closer to approval of those types of abnormal, immoral, grotesque things.
And we're in the middle of that cultural blurring of
the lines as we live and breathe. This is just

(01:28:33):
a story. I'm just grateful there's somebody writing about it
that happens to be a woman that just the title
of her commentary. Nobody asked for this, But will anybody
demand they take it down? Forty six minutes past the
hour when we come back, a story that had me writing,

(01:28:55):
not me, okay, I write notes in my rundown and
they're they're not really for Jose They give him a

(01:29:19):
clue sometimes like it's you know, I'll put a guest
so we know we got a guess. But really those
the notes are oftentimes just something that comes to my
mind that I just I jot down to remind me
of what I was thinking as I saw this story
and what I was thinking. I don't always write it
on the story itself, but I wrote not me, big

(01:29:41):
fat exclamation point. Here's the headline. Two thousand, four hundred
and sixty one take cold weather swim to break world
record in Czech Republic, Check's largest, second largest lake. They

(01:30:03):
did the largest polar bear dip. Ever, they broke the
record of seventeen hundred and ninety nine swimmers in Poland
back in twenty fifteen, twenty four hundred and sixty one.
Had I been there, there'd be twenty four hundred and sixty.

(01:30:27):
There was not a chance I'm doing that. And even
though I know there are incredible health benefits to cold
plunge pools and take doing the plunge thing after a
workout or anything like that, I absolutely and I might
consider that as in a plunge as in five seconds in,

(01:30:50):
five seconds out, but going for a swim, nah no, no, no, no, no,
brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA. All right, let me let
me get this said before I do my apology tour.

(01:31:13):
Donate Life Florida dot org. Donate Life Florida dot org. Okay,
it's all about organ donations. We're raising the numbers. And
thank you to Ron Sachs for coming on the program.
That was the final hour of the show. Was was

(01:31:35):
basically the only hour of this show that I would
consider passable. I'd give myself a B plus the rest
d I mean, it's like you gotta graduate with a
two point zero to get your your diploma in high school. Okay,
that's me barely. I gave you some good information, but

(01:31:59):
oh mg, was I terrible. I couldn't form a word.
I told Ron, I feel like I've got paste in
my mouth today. Anyway, I'm sorry. I have no excuses
at all. I feel great. The pollen's going away. I'm

(01:32:20):
ecstatic over that. Spent some time working with my son
in his yard yesterday. Got a lot done, Learned how
many carpenter bees he has. Oh boy, Prometheran, there's your
magic elixir. A Promethean mixed with water certain ratios, spray
that on the carpenter bee hole, and it done, done, done,

(01:32:46):
done done, because if they get a hole in your wood,
there's five or six more coming because the queen's in
there laying eggs turned into larvae to turn into bees
that then eat more wood. No, no, no, And the
promethan at the right levels doesn't harm honeybees at all.
We love honey bees. Honey bees are cool. There's nothing

(01:33:10):
to do with anything that I talked about on the show.
But the show stands on its own other than the
fact that I was brutally bad. This said Steve Stewart
tomorrow paused for thought, and Richard Stern from Heritage, you
asked for it. I'm delivering tomorrow a crash course on cryptocurrency.
You're welcome.
