Ep. 5636: Todays Democrat Party.

Step into the world of power, loyalty, and luck. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. With family, canolis, and spins mean everything. Now, you want to get mixed up in the family business? Introducing the godfather at chumpacasino.com. Test your luck in the shadowy world of the godfather's slots. Someday, I will call upon you to do a service for me. Play the godfather. Now at chumpacasino.com. Welcome to the family. Might have added an expletive or two, but it's not my style. Well, mostly. Welcome to Wednesday, July 8th here on the morning show with Preston. Scott. He's Jose. I'm Preston. Good to be. Oh, it's good to be with you this morning. Let's just start with scripture. What do you say? It's a good thing to do. Start your day with a little bit of God's word. Now, we're cruising through Deuteronomy, and we're jumping around a little bit. We're in Deuteronomy 7. And to set the stage here, let's just remember Old Testament history, New Testament principles. It's a good working rule when you're studying God's word. Let's also remember that God is laying out family rules. He's telling the Israelites, here's how things need to go. If you're part of my family, here's what you need to remember. These are the things you need to do. And if you recall, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt where they were slaves just as Jesus brings us out of sin where we are slaves to it so we're we're in this parallel world here where God's doing these works And eventually God's going to say, enough. We're just going to, we're going to end it once and for all. My son is going to provide a way to get people out of slavery to sin. So with that in mind, let's go back now to Deuteronomy 7, where he says, if you say in your heart, these nations are greater than I, how can I dispossess them?

You shall not be afraid of them, but you shall remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt. God is in this moment trying to encourage the Israelites to take possession of what he has promised. God says to you and me the exact same thing. And he points to the work that Christ did on the cross, covering our sins, washing them away as far as the east is from the west. And he's saying, look what I did for you on the cross. Take hold of the promises that I have for you. And if you need encouragement to do that, remember what I've done. What I've done is my resume for what I will do. In this part of Deuteronomy 7, God is saying, remember all that I've done for you. I'm not going to abandon you now. Sadly, most of the Israelites did not remember. They chose to forget. They chose to ignore. Don't let that be your legacy of forgetting and not walking into the promises that God has for you, the life that he wants for you. I hope that makes sense. It sure does to me, but I hope it makes sense to you. Deuteronomy 7, and we're reading from verses 17 and 18 this morning, here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Unlike a lot of talk show hosts, he's admitted to be wrong. That's when he thought he was wrong, but in fact, wasn't. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. Dip our toe into the waters of history. Otherwise, you know, is open up and up the pages of the American Patriots Omelac. July the 8th. 1776, the Liberty Bell rings for the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Oh my gosh. I stood next to that. I stood next to the, the Liberty Bell. Had my picture taken next to the Liberty Bell. It's so cool. It was there. That bell rang when our nation was born. Oh, golly. I'm just a sucker for that kind of thing. What can I say? 1853 Commodore Matthew Perry. Sales into Tokyo Bay seeking diplomatic and trade relations between the United States and Japan. 1889, the first issue of the Wall Street Journal is published. 1932, Dow Jay Jones Industrial Average falls to $41.22. Lowest closing of the Great Depression. 1950, General Douglas MacArthur's named Commander of the United Nations Forces fighting in Korea. In 2011, Atlantis is launched from Cape Canaveral in the last flight of the space shuttle program. Atlantis is permanently on display at the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Space Center. It is a spectacular display. I don't know if they've changed it, but the whole program that introduces Atlantis is just awesome. It really is. Tear-inducing stuff. Today is National Freezer Pop Day. Underrated treat freezer pops. It's like just a slim gym version of a popsicle. That's what it is. National Chocolate with Almonds Day? Oh, yeah. National Raspberry Day, National cucumber salad day. Okay. I mean... I don't know. I mean, cucumbers are okay. They're just big pickles. Right? I mean, they're just, I don't know, they're just kind of boring. It's filler. It's filler. And I had to look this up. Today's Scud day. Scud.

is to step away, I'm just reading the description, from stressful conflicts, toxic gossip, and overwhelming news feeds, and replace them with pure, lighthearted silliness. Savoring comedy and unplugging from drama. That's the acronym. Savor the comic, SC, unplug the drama, U.D. Scud Day. That makes sense, I guess. But I have a better idea. Just listen to the show. We are like all of those things wrapped up in one. You get the news. But it might be with a laugh. Oh, boy. And misery loves company. If it's bad news, we're together. We do point out some other things, some interesting things. It is an audio magazine. Remember that. We will flip pages and just, we will grind out all kinds of stories today. And for example, when we come back, one of the movies that had that I've watched multiple times. I have it in my library of movies is the movie Everest. The IMAX features that deal with Everest and people who climb Everest and just it's just Everest fascinates me. I would never dare to climb it ever in a thousand years. Never. That just, no, I choose life. But Everest is a magnificent thing. But it is the source of unbelievable tragedy. And there's a story. connected loosely to the movie Everest, which came out better than a decade ago or about a decade ago, that is in the news. And it's sad, it's creepy, it's fascinating, it's one of those stories. And that's what we do around here. We share these things. That's next. Right here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

The movie Everest came out in 2015. And it documents a disaster that happened in 1996 on what is called the South Call, COL. A blizzard came in and climbers were stacked up. There were too many trying to make the summit and some got trapped trying to descend back down. And some of the leaders of the expedition as well as some of the members died and are up there. They're still up there. And the movie is about that. On the other side of the mountain, on the same day, another group of climbers died. It was on the north ridge. They got caught in the same blizzard. The weather was fine, and then boom, it changed. And that's what happens at Everest. I don't know if you know this. There are roughly... 200 or so bodies on Everest they're there some have been left there intentionally most are there simply because to get them down is dangerous helicopters can't fly that high The oxygen is so limited and the air is so thin. A helicopter can't create lift. Can't do it. But they have... Identified a body and they're tolerated here from 2311 racing game night's fun until someone spends five minutes lining up one shot Chalk breathe rechalk still aiming While they figure it out I fire up chump a casino I can spin anywhere anytime and there's always a new social casino game every week spins happen way faster than that shot Play now at chumba casino.com.

We're going to try and bring it down that is on the north side that died in the blizzard of May 10th, 1996. And the person has been called Green Boots for... decades. They assumed it was one guy and now DNA testing, someone was able to bring back a piece of clothing or something and they were able to do DNA testing and they now know who this person is that died on the Northeast Ridge in 1996 and has been there ever since. You know, like the guy who's sort of the lead in the movie, Everest,

He's portraying a character, a real-life person named Rob Hall. Jason Clark, I think, is the actor that portrays him. Jake Gyllenhaal played Scott Fisher. And Rob Hall has this final conversation with his wife on a phone just as he dies. And it happened. That happened. And his body is there, seated in an upright position. And that's where he is. His wife said that's where he would want to be. Well, the guy they found is an Indian climber named Dorgy Morup. He was a member of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Expedition that was on the north side of the mountain. And I'm showing Jose the photo of the mountain and about where he is. Not quite the summit, but he apparently had summited and was on his way down. I don't know. Don't know the full story of the expedition on the other side. But he was one of eight climbers that were caught in the blizzard and died. You know, the commercial climbing of Everest has gotten a little out of hand. They're trying to figure out how to get control of it. There's a video on YouTube. You can find this stuff. If you start looking at YouTube videos about Everest climbers. you will inevitably come across videos showing some of these people that are still there. There are climbers using ropes still attached to people that are dead on the mountain. And climbers are using those ropes. It's crazy. So they are the Indo-Tibetan border police, they're floating a tender out there for a specialist high altitude recovery team to retrieve the body. It's about 8,500 meters. It's in the death zone. That is the death zone. 8,000 meters on up is the death zone. That's where you have very, very, very little time. There are some that try to do the climb without oxygen. It's... Probably pretty silly, but people do it. But the effort could be lethal on its own. But they've identified a body that's up there, and they're going to try and bring them home. Interesting. It's just an interesting story. 27 pass. Let's do the big stories in the press box next. What a gathering of stories. validating your feelings or perhaps helping you come to terms with the fact that you have been wrong for so much of your life. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. I'm going to surprise some of you here. First look at the big stories in the press box and one of those stories is former Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum arrested in Alabama.

Drug possession. Happened on the 2nd of July last week was released the next day, so he spent the night in jail. He was pulled over for erratic driving by Daphne, Alabama police. Police then noticed a glass pipe in the center console, and that was that. Apparently, he didn't just have weed. He had meth. And I'm going to surprise you because there's no rejoicing in this. I'm not happy about this. I feel very sad for Andrew. There was a time Andrew would be on this show years and years ago when Democrats had some level of rationality. But when I started, it's always the same. When you start asking questions that they don't like, they don't want to come on the show anymore. And I believe Andrew was caught up in all the corruption. I believe that the Florida Commission on Ethics let Andrew down. They didn't just let the city of Tallahassee down. More importantly, I believe Andrew was let down by the fact that he did not get held accountable for his other issues. I don't believe he was ever really held accountable for what happened in the hotel room when he was found with another man. I don't think he was held accountable for whatever his involvement was in the things that were happening in Tallahassee. I believe a decision was made to go after other people, not Andrew.

And I'll let other people figure out the why. He was, Andrew was a pawn working for George Soros indirectly. I don't know how he's living. Some people say he's living off campaign cash. I don't believe you're allowed to do that. So is George Soros putting him up? I'm pointing to all of the people along the way that I think have contributed to who Andrew has become. Where's his wife? And spare me the emails. I know all about the stories about he and Jay and I get it. As a human being, though, this is sad to me. I'm grateful he didn't become the governor of this state. It was only less than 40,000 votes. It would have been an epic disaster. But I look at the system and the lack of accountability. And I look at this guy and I'm going, this is why he's still dealing with this stuff. He's never been really held accountable. And it could have corrected him. He could have. But they settle. Florida Commission on Ethics settled. And it's like, whatever. You know, I. It's just sad to me. It just is. That Manhattan high-rise that they're converting to apartments, have you seen the beam that's that's caved in? I know, I know incredible things can be done through engineering. Would you move into that apartment building? The conversion? I mean, bricks are falling off of the building. They've evacuated it and there's obviously concerned about that building and then what it could do to other buildings. But anyway, Trump on Iran, I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum, their liars, their cheats, they're sick people. Referring to the leadership. I'm sitting here with my hands. You know, the gesture you make when you go well?

Didn't many of us basically know what was coming here? What now do we do? I certainly have my thoughts. And the last big story, Mexico is losing Toyota. Toyota moving production of its Tacoma's back to Texas. They are making a massive $3.6 billion expansion. of a plant that they already have there. It's going to create about 2,000 new jobs, double the size of the facility in the next four years, three and a half years. It's the site that they already make tundras and sequoias. Now they're going to put the Tacoma out. And this is because of President Trump's dealings with the tariff situation. Even though some of that stuff didn't stick as much as he would have liked. It's yielding results. Japan's like, well, people buy our trucks. Let's just move the production to America and not have to worry about any of the tariff issue. Thank you very much. Thank you. Nice doing business with you. That's how you do it. Well done, sir. Well done. I am fair. I am good. I'm a happy example. Glenn is on nine to noon. I am stronger every day. On WFLA.

Came across a really interesting report from Epic Times. Ten charts show how America has changed in 250 years, and some of this obviously is, you know, obvious growth of the nation. But digging inside the charts is kind of interesting for me. 1790, 95% of Americans resided in rural areas by 2020. That dropped to 20%. More than 50% of rural residents lived on farms prior to 1940. By 2000, that's 5%. While urban population in the United States surged from 5% in 1790 to 80% in 2020, the growth shifted heavily towards suburban and outlying areas after 1950 leaving cities with less than half of the total urban population. So since 1950, people are leaving big cities, and it continues. The number of foreign-born U.S. residents grew from 2.2 million in 1850 to 50.0.2 million in 2024. Or from 9% of the national population, now nearly 15% of the population are foreign-born residents of this country. 15%. Europe supplied the majority of the immigrants during the window of 1850 to 1970, though the share of that 15% dropped from 92% to 62%. Mexican-born population of the United States has multiplied more than 15 times between 1970 and 2010. from 800,000 to nearly 12 million. Despite global immigration and an 84-fold population increase over 230 years, most common American last names have been consistent. This is interesting. surnames such as Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jay Jones, Miller, Davis, and Wilson placed in the top 15 surnames in 1790 and in 2020. Now, that is, that's crazy. It really is. That's remarkable. However, Asian last names such as Zhang, Liu, and Wang ranked among the fastest growing surnames between 2010 and 2020. Go back to Peter Schweitzer's book, The Invisible Coup.

America was young in 1800, high fertility rates and abundant land. Its population was young. Roughly 50% of the population in 1800 was 16 years of age or younger. In the 18th century, the average American woman had at least seven children. In 1790, large families dominated the landscape. 36% of U.S. households contain seven or more members. Conversely, small households, one or two people, made up just 11.5% of the population. It has reversed by 2010, large households with seven or more under 2%. Small households of one or two surge to 60%. Majority. Before 1940 home ownership never exceeded 50%. That's just, it's just an interesting snapshot. Listen to this. Final, final little nugget here. The U.S. sold land at a dollar an acre in the 1790s. But there was a catch. You had to buy at least 640 acres and pay cash or military land warrants.

And then you get into salaries and stuff like that. It's just, it's fascinated to look at this country over the course. Bubba Wallace here from 2311 racing. On the track, my car's look is everything.

Welcome to the morning show with Preston Scott, guaranteed human, and covering what you're talking about, what you will be talking about, and most importantly, what you should be talking about.

Still looking at these charts here. Epic times. Ten charts show how America's changed in 250 years. And there are obvious changes, of course. We were talking about the need to buy land and how you had to buy it. And, I mean, consider if you had $640 of cash, you were loaded back in the day. But you could buy 640 acres of land. I believe I'll own here. And it's crazy. Before 1800, the average wage for laborers, mortar mixers, diggers, choppers, on and on. was $65 a year. With food and perhaps lodging, according to a historian. Wages varied by occupation and state, women in a cotton factory in New York were paid about $104 a year.

Henry Wainsy reported in his traveling journal published in 1796 as an excursion to the United States of North America in the summer of 1894. The salaries of semen were between $240 and $288 a year. Now think about this. Your basic laborer was getting $65 a year, maybe food and lodging thrown in. Someone at sea was earning four times that. Clergy. A Connecticut clergyman could earn $475. Double the wage of a seaman. According to Wansy's journal. Before 1880, the American workforce was rooted in agriculture. 30% of working adults, age 16 and older, were farmers. 20% or more were working as laborers. By 2000, the number of farm-related workers had dropped to less than 1% of the workforce. A buyer in the 1790s almost paid 10 years of wages for land. A modern buyer may pay over six years of salary for a home. So those are just some little nuggets from these charts that perhaps you can look up. It's a premium report on Epic Times. And, of course, I being a premium media celebrity, have access to these things. I'm just kidding. When we come back, what's happening with that dude in Maine? Dems have a platinum problem. All right, five past the hour, second hour here in the morning show with Preston. Scott and Preston. He's Jose. Good morning. Welcome to the program. Let me give the shout out again to anyone listening on IHeart Radio outside of our normal broadcast area. of the Panhandle Big Band in South Georgia. If you are outside of that scattered across the fruited plane or even around the world, whether you're listening live or streaming the podcast later because you stumbled upon it, send me a note. Let me know where you're listening to us from, how you found us, and why you listen. Just send it to Preston at iHeartRadio.com. It's not like some big in-depth study. I'm just curious. Just want to know. Why do you spend time with us? We're grateful for you spending time with us. I'm curious how many of you are following what's happening in Maine with Graham Platner. Now, his campaign's over. He's just not willing to admit it. It's done. It's very sad to me that the fairly blue state that gives us about the only Republican that they'll elect Susan Collins. I mean, Susan Collins is a very moderate Republican. Very. But if you look at it in the context of what Maine is,

It's the best we can hope for. But that Democrats would turn to a guy like Graham Platner is just stunning to me. But the nail in his coffin for the Nazi tattoo wearing, womanizing, really base and gross. He's a military vet that I think brings dishonor to the military. Because of his conduct, his personal conduct. Now comes a rape accusation from 2021. And what's interesting about this is the sea change. Have you seen the list of Democrats that are now calling for him to drop out of the race? It's everybody except Chris Murphy of, I think, Connecticut. Bernie Sanders, who stood and held his hand up so we can together fight the oligox. Bernie is asking him to step down. Because the victim of the accused rape, Jenny Rassikot, is a flaming liberal. So had she been somebody else, they would have ignored it. But because she's one of them, they're going, well, you know, well, this, we, yeah. So now they're all stepping up. They should have done it before. Should have never allowed this guy. This guy should never have been even someone standing on the sidelines of their candidate pool. But here's what he's doing. Graham Platner allegedly will not step down from his campaign unless the party lets him select his replacement. Excuse me? So the accused rapist, accused, must be fair. The accused rapist.

is holding the Democrat Party hostage saying I will choose my successor and then I'll step down. I'm sorry. Is the Democrat Party actually going to allow itself to be extorted by this guy? It would appear the answer is yes. What does that say about the state of the party? That this is between guys like Graham Platner. And apparently Bernie wants Troy Jackson, who is a former Maine Senate president. What does it say about the party that not only is this the home of socialism, but candidates like this. Like Tim Walz. Like, I mean, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton. I mean, what? What? Ten past the hour. Come back and, yeah, just stick around. Your sense of sensibility. Communicator of common sense amplified and guaranteed human. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. I'm going to read a list. And then I'll tip my hand. I want to read a list. And I want you to answer the question, what do they have in common? Caterpillar. Pretty big business? Yeah. Boeing. Morton Salt. Tyson Foods. Citadel.

True value hardware. Chicago Bears. Those are businesses that have left Illinois or are leaving Illinois since J.B. Pritzker has become governor. The bears are going to Western Indiana. I don't know how you call them the Western Indiana bears, Whatever. But true value hardware, which has made Chicago, it's home for 80 years, is moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is the same Indiana that J.B. Pritzker called a low-wage state that's not attractive to anyone. Okay. Except true value hardware and the Bears. I mean, I just, this is more and more evidence that should wake up America. Bubba Wallace here from 2311 racing. On the track, my car's look is everything. But today, I'm talking about more than just paint schemes. I'm talking about my favorite games at Chumba Casino. Check out exclusives like Stampede Fury and my own King Crock Theory.

VGW Group, voidware prohibited by law, 21 plus, terms and conditions apply. as to the disastrous policies of Democrats. Socialism is Democrat policies on steroids. These are businesses fleeing high tax, high regulatory environments where business is made more costly. simply because of government. I mean, think about that list. DeBairs, you've got true value hardware, Caterpillar, Boeing, Morton Salt, Tyson Foods, Citadel, all have moved their headquarters out of Illinois. Wow, J.B. Britsker's been the governor.

suggesting that while he did not think that the Trump administration had the authority to make this change, he did feel that there were some arguments to be made about the issue at hand, which is birthright tourism. And so here's how Hammer breaks this out. And in large part, this is based on law professor Josh Blackman. There are four distinct clauses of the Constitution, he writes, that reference invasion. Let me back up. If the president is actually grasping at an important point, Congress can and should act by declaring both illegal aliens and so-called birth tourists to be functional legal equivalent of modern-day foreign army invaders. The Supreme Court has never legally defined an invasion. Law professor Josh Blackman explained in surveying the four clauses in the Constitution that the Constitution affords Congress, the President, and the state's power to declare an invasion. Every branch of government except the judiciary.

Texas did the same thing. Governor Greg Abbott declared an invasion of Texas. He writes, Congress can do the same thing. It can stipulate under its Article 1 Section 8 power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. That is the sense of Congress that the United States is faced and still does face an invasion. That the children of the invaders shall not receive automatic citizenship at birth. As I read this, I was like, okay, let me read more. Instead, Congress can clarify that those children can apply for naturalization using all extent generally available means. How does it square with the Barbara ruling, Trump versus Barbara? Simple. No serious person claims the children of foreign invaders are entitled to automatic birthright citizenship. In the 1898 Supreme Court case of Wong Kim Ark, the decision frequently invoked, even though incorrectly, by the Barbara majority and by birthright citizenship defenders everywhere, it actually confirmed as much. Then Justice Horace Gray noted that the children of aliens within territory and hostile occupation are not subject to the jurisdiction. to use the relevant 14th Amendment language of the sovereign whose domains are invalid. Simply put, Wong Kim Ark, and thus under Barbara as well, the children of invaders are not automatic birthright citizens. So are illegal aliens or birth tourists really invaders? Well, reasonable minds can disagree on this, but recall that the Supreme Court has never defined the term. And for good reason, because such a determination is political. The 2019 Supreme Court case, Rucho v. Common Cause, outside the court's competence and therefore beyond the court's jurisdiction.

Congress can act. Congress can act and rule that people coming in, ergo their children are in fact breaking the law by entering this country illegally and are foreign invaders. The courts can't. and haven't at this point taken jurisdiction because they won't define, they haven't defined what an invader is. Because the Constitution says that is left to Congress, the states, and the president. Interesting. That's why I shared it with some people in Congress. Because this does seem to offer a way to stop birthright tourism. and get us onto a more sane path of citizenship and what it means. Then we need to tackle the press one for English, two for, we need to start tackling all that stuff as well, but that's for another day.

Guests, the other shows can't book, topics they won't talk about, and guaranteed human. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. Well, let me just quote Donald Trump. after Iran attacked three separate ships off the coast of Oman. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. They're liars. They're cheats. They're sick. Hello, it is Ryan, and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we? Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know, all the mundane stuff. That is why I'm such a big fan of Chumba Casino.

People. Now, obviously, he's talking about the leadership here, right? Here's what you do. You gather your allies, those that have stood with you, including regional powers. nations that are Arab nations and you say you gather everybody together and you say okay we're not a nation building regime you know administration we're not into that but we need a new regime over there who is with us because I hate to say this to you our history says that this doesn't go well But you've got to go in there and you've got to eradicate the clerics, which means we're giving you 24 hours to pack your little turbines and leave. And you can go to some, you know, Islamic, fascist state, but you're not staying here. You got 24 hours to leave. And then you go in. and you root them out if they haven't left, and then you proceed to oversee a secular government election. And you make sure that the people have the means to defend themselves, and you give the 80% a chance. Now, that's what I think, you have to do this, because this can't continue. This whole straight of Hormuz thing.

can't continue. And Trump come into this conclusion, well, yeah, what did you think? No, really? What did you think was going to happen, sir? And I don't know if people are just not being straight with him. I know Marco Rubio understands this. I know he does. But Marco Rubio's a good soldier. The president of the United States is his boss, and if he believes there's a chance forward through negotiation, he's going to give it the necessary, you know, effort. But deep down, Marco Rubio knows. We all know. How is it that Trump didn't know? This is who they are. Now, this isn't the only big story in the press box. I'll get to the others next hour. But this story connects to our next story. Really important. I mean, it's like hugely important. And let me say before we segue to it, I love Trump. I pray for him. And he's the best president we've had in a very, very long time. But he's not perfect. No one is. And I have a worry about a decision that he seems to be about to make, about ready to make. And I want to just get this in front of you and let you decide what you think. We'll do that next here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Like a lot of talk show hosts, he's admitted to be wrong. That's when he thought he was wrong, but in fact, wasn't. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. The president has come to a place where he says it's a waste of time to negotiate with Iran. Right. Why? No, this really is important. You have to then go to the next step and back this out and say, why is it a waste of time? Well, because they're liars. They don't honor their word. They want to erase Israel. They want a nuclear weapon. They're going to do anything they can to disrupt the region. They don't want peace in the region because they feel from a religious perspective, this is important, from a religious perspective, they believe it is their mission to bring about the end of Israel. It is their solemn duty before Allah. Now hold on to that.

The president is considering handing over and making available to Turkey, our F-35 stealth fighter jets, our most advanced aerial fighter to... a nation led by Rcep Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the president of Turkey. And what you need to know about him, he's saying we've been a NATO ally, we've been reliable. We deserve these. Really? He has fundamentally reshaped Turkey's relationship with religion by dismantling the secularism of the nation established by the nation's founders and shifting Turkey towards public religious conservatism. And that sounds good until you realize he's an Islamist. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a big-time Islamist. In fact, it is called Erdoganism. He has promoted Islam within public and political areas. He has created mandatory courses and government-directed religious activities. Government-directed religious activities. Pointing to Islam. Let's connect back to what the lesson is in Iran. Islamists. Adherence in every part of the Quran and the Hadith believe that lying, if it helps accomplish a greater purpose, is absolutely appropriate. I think it is a huge, massive, monumental error to give them our technology.

terrible mistake. I hope he doesn't do it. For his part, the president says many people, including the people sitting right here, think, why wouldn't we do that? Turkey has been, in many ways, much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal. Because it's not just the F-35 he's thinking about. It's other technology too. Turkey took delivery of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system. So they've got Russian technology. They're a member of NATO, but they want U.S. technology. I don't know about that. I just, you want to hand that technology over to the Russians? Because you kind of are making that a possibility. Anyway, I've said what I think you need to know about this. I just encourage you to look at it, form your own opinion. Do you hand F-35s over to Turkey to a guy who is a pretty hardcore Islamist? Just saying. No way Jose comes up next.

to keep you entertain guests and experts so you stay informed it's the morning show with preston scott that's called the drop right there drop it's time for another edition of him yes and drop we shall Good morning, everyone. So I got a couple of space oddities, or maybe three today. So is this like 2006, the space oddities? It sure is. Okay, go for it. So there's, astronomers have found two giant planets that are essentially so light, their density is lighter than cotton candy. And they're roughly the size of Jupiter. What? Yeah. So I had fluff balls? Yeah, move aside Atlas. You know, now I could carry a planet. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. What did you call them? Giant puff balls? Yeah. Yeah, well, they're actually known as Superpuffs. Get out. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. It's a classification. Although there are 6,300 exoplanets found, fewer than 40 are Superpuffs. But these are the biggest. The biggest found so far. So the cosmology term? Is that what the word is? Cosmology. Is Super Puff? Yeah, it's like a Pokemon or something. I feel like it's something my wife just baked. Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, they're pretty huge. They're pretty light. And one researcher says that they're like a nice blob of shaving foam fresh from the can. Where are they? Well, they're about 1,100 light years away in a constellation known as Volens, also known as the Flying Fish. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So that's pretty interesting. Interesting stuff. Well, they also found another planet, a third one. It's our solar systems or our galaxy's so-called pink planet. It's the first pink planet they've found. And now the color is not the interesting part of this planet. It's the fact that it has salt as clouds. which is like never before seeing... Well, that's like the Himalayan salt is pink. Yeah, right? It's funny. I was about to make a joke that, you know, look forward to seeing some pink space salt here pretty soon on the shelves. Now, is that in our galaxy? No. No. I meant to say our universe is so-called. Yes, it's in our universe. And it's way closer than the Super Puffs. It's about 54.

57 light years away. Well, it wouldn't surprise me because, I mean, after all, God's probably out there going, you know, we need a little salt. Yeah. A little seasoning. Yeah. And it's funny because, you know, with the study of these planets, scientists are saying it's giving them a better insight, a better look into how planets evolved or are made. And I'm like, yeah, easy God. You know, you don't have to look too far into that. But these bring me to some scripture. Okay. It's Obadiah 1, 3 through 4. The pride of your heart has deceived you. You who lived in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights. You who say to yourselves, who can bring me down to the ground? Though you soar like eagles and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord. Well, that's encouraging. Yeah. So, you know, we got to keep in mind. You know, the always put God first and never be too boastful. So we don't end up like Edom. Brought to the ground. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, when I first read this, I was like, oh, that's incredible. You know, even God knows we're going to live in. Well, I mean, obviously he knows we're going to live in most of ours. But anyway. Eventually. It's getting close. Another edition of No Way, Jose here on the morning show. We come back. Dr. Bob McClure will join us. He of the James Madison Institute. He is the president there. We're going to talk about property tax. Who's going to support it? Who's going to be out? The fight against it is already taking shape. I've reached out to some of the, at least one group that is allegedly representing all kinds of other groups. We'll see. We'll see what they say. But that's coming up. Next hour, that discussion. We'll also talk a little bit about the new Trump accounts and some other things. So stick around. It's hour three of the morning show with Preston Scott. All right. It's five past the hour. It's the morning show with Preston Scott.

Joining me on the program is Jose over there in Studio 1A. I am here in Studio 1B. And joining me in Studio 1B is the president of the James Madison Institute. He is Dr. Bob McClure. Dr. Bob, how are you, sir? I'm doing fantastic. Happy belated fourth. How are you? Good. Let's talk about that for just a second. Your impressions, broadly speaking, of the fourth. Oh, I'm a sucker for the 4th of July for obvious reasons. I thought it was a great testament to our country. Did Donald Trump make it a little bit about himself? Yes, he did, but he's also swimming upstream against... a left that still there's still this element of cancel culture so the the country acts that pulled out and um you know um other musical acts and and people like that are so afraid of the left all right because of Trump derangement syndrome. I don't think he had any choice, but the state, the great American state fair in D.C. I thought it was fabulous to watch. Other than the states that refuse to send an exhibit because they're petty. But here's the thing that was the background noise to this. It's like ambient noise when you turn on your sleep machine at night, right? That was the European fans of the World Cup. who love this country. And it's unique that it was happening as we are supposedly celebrating the greatest country that God has ever given anyone. And they confirmed it. Little things that we take for granted, like free refills and ice and buckies and air conditioning in a Walmart or Target, a bloom and onion, right? And I'm not saying that as high culture, but what they did, and this was the ambient noise behind the celebration of the 4th of July is that they talked about how nice. and kind and giving Americans are. And in a world that we live in today, Preston, and cable news on both sides drives this, we think everybody is angry all the time. And yet poll after poll shows that 80% of this country is, 85, I would argue, is full of good and decent, hardworking people who help each other out, regardless of... divisions of race and sex and, you know, wealth and all of that. And I thought that World Cup, the fans, that was the ambient noise that made the 4th of July so wonderful. Thursday, before we took the 4th of July break, I spent the last hour of the show just playing soundbites of visitors from other countries, extolling the virtues just to remind our listeners.

of what makes America special the things that we take for granted and overlook. It's so interesting that that's coming from people that don't live here. Yeah. It's like your friends, like if you're from a really good family, like an intact, decent, normal American family, and your friends come over and they go, man, your parents are awesome, right? And you're like, No, they're not. They're my parents. Okay? It's the same thing. These Europeans came over, the Norwegians and the Scottish and the folks from the Congo and, you know, all of these, these, they came over and like, this country is awesome. You have air conditioning. You have ice available for everything. Even in places like L.A. and Seattle, which the cable news constantly beats on, they talked about how kind and nice people were. I did find it interesting that even though, you know, Seattle is a hub for soccer, for American soccer, I found it interesting that Clantifa decided that would not be the best. Tyler Redic here from 2311 racing. Victory Lane? Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to ChumbaCasino.com. Let's Chumba. No purchase necessary. VGW Group. Voidware prohibited by law. CTNCs, 21+, sponsored by Chumba Casino. Place to show up. Right. It just intrigued me. Well, the fans. I mean, even the American fans, like, we fell in love with Cape Verde because they almost beat Argentina and they played their guts out and they were weeping afterwards. It was just so. The Scots marching to the bagpipes in Boston. Drinking the bar dry. Yeah. Right. Singing country roads. From the top of the bar. John Denver is back in the Billboard Top 100 because of the popularity of country roads coming back. Who knew? Yeah, great stuff. More to talk about with Dr. Bob McClure. We will zero in on the Sunshine State next. Beck. He's always been a white guy. Glenn. Beck. We got it. Licensed to talk. Nine to noon on WFLA.

Back with Dr. Bob McClure, James Madison Institute. The opponents of property tax reform are now gathered. They are organizing. They are pushing back. Who's going to fight for it? Because the governor's not. Right. The governor is, you know, Ron DeSantis spent almost an hour with me on the show. He said, look, he said, I'm going to vote for it. It's not what I asked for. It's not what I would have done, but it's better than nothing. But the opponents are going to probably win this. I think it's a high hurdle. I mean, 60%. You're going to see the same playbook that you always see at the federal level when there's a government shutdown. Oh. Here. Right. You know, the garbage can't be picked up. The federal parks are closed. You know, Doge exposed the fraud that that was, right? And you're going to see it at the state level. You're going to see it with local officials. And you're already seeing it with Rocky Hanna here at Leon County. And they don't have enough money, right? So they're proposing, the school board is proposing a tax increase. Yes. Instead of. doing things like closing schools and how about just audit your books or how about fire your central office which does nothing on a daily basis right so that's the playbook around the state i think it has a very high hurdle i i would like for it to pass it is not a very good amendment i know that sounds weird but here's the thing what it and i think either way here's what i think's going to happen if it doesn't pass which i don't think it will I believe the next governor and the next legislature are they're going to come in. They're not going to let this go. They're going to get something. Do you think? I do. I think they're going to get something better and bigger. Because the growth of government spending at the local level cannot stand. And we have it here in Tallahassee, but they have it in spades around the rest of the state that is actually pro-business and growing. right that has real leadership where places are growing okay but so if it doesn't pass i believe the next governor and leadership will come in and do something if it does pass if it does pass it's a start and it provokes a conversation which must we must have, and it crystallizes a conversation we must have, on local spending, okay? The governor has made the case, what is it, 63% increase since COVID on local spending? Crazy. How much money do you need? Okay. And so, and that drives up the cost of everything, housing and insurance and all of that. And we keep hearing, oh, no, we can't cut. Oh, no, we can't trim. Do you think they have to anticipate or take note of the arguments that are going to be made in the next few months?

which are already being laid out. I looked at them this morning. Sure, yeah. And then counter each of those points, for example, renters and business owners and the people that own second homes, they said it's all going to get dumped on them. And there's some truth to that. It very well could be. Yeah. Is that how the legislature is going to have to tackle this the next time around? Yeah, yeah. What's going to happen is you're going to see the local government. If it. If it doesn't pass, if they're going to say police and fire will suffer, schools will suffer. Of course. Right. If it passes, you're going to see a massive cost shift. They're not going to lower. they're spending. They're going to cost shift because, and that's the problem with this amendment, is that it doesn't do anything to protect Floridians against raising user fees or special district taxing or other kinds of things in other areas if this passes. What we need, Preston, is a levy cap where you cap all spending at the local level and index it to population and, uh, Inflation. And inflation, yeah. Don't tell them how to spend it. Here's what you got to spend. And that protects rural counties. That protects fast-growing counties. If you cap how much they can spend on an annual basis, a levy cap. It also reveals what the elected leaders really think the core functions of government are. Amen. That is well said. More to come with Dr. Bob McClure here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

LA. On your phone with the IHeart radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos. And free. And IHeart's radio station. Back with Dr. Bob McClure, president of the James Madison Institute. Before we leave the property tax issue, let me just throw a thought your way and get your reaction. Should we start with... To me, the easiest way the legislature can conquer the first and most important hurdle to me, which is I want to own my own home when I pay it off. When I don't owe the bank, I want it to be just like my car. It's mine. Ergo, if there's an issue on property tax as it exists, that's fine, but you're not taking my house. You can't attach a lien to property owned by somebody. That's just my thought. Can the legislature just start there? Home ownership, property ownership. If I hear you correctly, what you're saying is if you own your home outright, you are saying you will not be assessed property taxes? Nope, nope. I'm saying until they sort out the property tax issue. Right. If there's an issue and someone's not paying for their services, fine. Do what anyone else does for an unpaid bill. But you can't attach to the home. Right. That's an interesting way to look at it. And I think... As a starting point. Yeah. Because to me, it all boils down to if I buy my car and I pay off my car... A lot of things might happen, but the insurance company can't take my car. Maybe I can't drive it because I don't have insurance, but they can't take it. And to me, the issue is one of ownership of home and property. That when I paid for my home and property, I should own it and not have the threat of absurd taxation or whatever the case might be, taking and attaching my home. Right. No, I think it's a great idea. I think... You're really counting on a really smart legislature, Preston, to think something like this through. But isn't it easier to go there, though, at the beginning than to tackle the property tax issue at the beginning without dealing with the levy and all of that? Yeah, I don't know that it's easier. I think what the governor wanted and what the legislature wanted was, we're going to cut your taxes or eliminate them. Boom. Here's your exemption. And I think we ought to go there. Right. I think at least what I have found in the policy world is you have to, because voters. Don't live and die by, you know, politics. Most people don't, right? I mean, we see that every day. Most people don't live and die by it. So you have to take it in bites and in increments. I think that's a great, I love the idea. And I think that would be more of a legislative act.

You're going to have to sell it. You're going to have to break it down for people. But I think you're right. I mean, it's the same mentality, as you said, about your car and the ability to keep it. If you don't pay, you may not be able to drive it, but they can't take it from you. If I don't pay my taxes, if we still have property taxes, turn off my water. But you can't take my home. Right. That's all. Let me ask you this. We are dealing with elections, primaries. I mean, the ballots are going out tomorrow for the primaries. What are your thoughts on where Florida is going to go? Are we going to have... some movement in elections that are significant enough? Are we going to get new leadership that's going to advance things? Because I felt like, at least in the House, we had obstructionists in the last two years. What's interesting about this year for Florida is everybody is up. And we're going to have some very new leadership. Okay. So we're going to have a new governor. Right. We're going to have maybe not necessarily new cabinet officers, but they've never run for all. Hello, it is Ryan, and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?

office as a cabinet officer. So they're going to have, they're having to make promises and decisions as they run for office, which is going to be interesting. You're going to have a new Senate president, a new House speaker, which I think is going to change in a good way relationally what has happened between the legislative and executive branch. Here's the thing, okay? We have. to, as a state with all of this new leadership, we have to recognize, and I believe a lot of them do, how Florida got here. Okay, why we are the free state of Florida, why people are moving here, why people who already live here love this place, and we have to continue. We have to do almost, Preston, a SWAT analysis of the state with all of this new leadership and then move in that direction. The great thing about Ron DeSantis is the man was bold. Yeah. Okay? And 99% of the time, I agreed with him. A couple times I didn't, but the man was bold. And this new leadership has got to realize how we got here. This wasn't handed to us, okay? It's that proverbial coaching term. You know, I was born on third base and I thought I hit a triple. These people didn't hit the triple. Right. Okay, this has been going on since Jeff Bush. And so this new leadership has to understand how we got here. And they have to continue to address the issues that matter to people on an everyday basis. And that's how you remain the free state of Florida. Because I'll say this, the left looks at Florida the way China looks at Taiwan. Okay? And so they're coming. They're coming. And we can easily be comfortable and say, oh, come on, Bob. Yeah, it's a deep red state. You've got a million and a half Republican voter edge. But the left is coming. They look at Florida the way China looks at Taiwan. It's a target. We have to, this new leadership has to understand that and have to continue to move forward on the policies that have made this state what it is. And to quote you, good policy makes for good politics. Good policy makes good politics. Yeah. Always good to see you. Thank you for having me. Dr. Bob McClure, president of the James Madison Institute and my guest here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Beck, you want him on that radio. America can handle the truth. You need him on that radio. Nine to noon on WFLA. Let's get to the big stories in the press box this morning. Sad story. Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum arrested in Alabama. It was last Thursday that he was pulled over, driving erratically, and then they found a glass pipe, and then they found the weed, and then they found meth. And I surprised some people that wanted me to pile on here, and I'm not piling on. I feel bad for Andrew, and I feel like the state of Florida, the FBI. Prosecutors let Andrew down because I think there are moments in life that when you have an opportunity for course correction and don't get it, you continue down a path of destruction. And I believe that's Andrew. I believe Andrew had he gotten the course, had the Florida Commission on Ethics held him fully accountable, had he been prosecuted for some of the questions that were being asked? He might not be in this spot right now. He wouldn't be governor. He's not governor. He wouldn't be an elected a lot. But maybe on a personal level, he would have corrected his life. And now he's pulled over with meth and weed driving erratically in some little town in Alabama. What in the world? How is he supporting himself? Where's his wife? What's going? I'm not rejoicing in this at all. I feel terrible for him because he's a smart guy. He has a wonderful personality. He's he just, there are no guardrails on the man's life. Is George Soros supporting him? Is he living off a campaign cash? Because you're not supposed to be able to do that. I just, I look at that story through a different lens than what some of you might expect me to look at it. Some people are out there laughing, kind of spike in the football. See, look at that. Yet we came within 35,000 votes of having this guy's governor. Yeah, look at that. But he's a human being. And I look at the missed opportunities for course correction.

You know, I read the piece written locally about Scott Maddox who went to prison for his part in the corruption, pled guilty. He still claims he didn't do anything wrong. That he took the plea to get it over with because he knew he was a victim. He hasn't learned. I don't feel sorry for him. Course correction was available. Another big story in the press box. We've got a Manhattan high rise that apparently was being converted to apartment buildings and is facing collapse. That's not good for Manhattan, for buildings to fall down. You can't pin this on Zohran Mamdani. This is a problem that's been existing for a while. Our inspectors not doing their job. I mean, what's going on? I don't know. Toyota's moving production of the Tacoma back to Texas from Mexico. That's a win for the U.S. That's 2,000 jobs. It's a lot of infrastructure investment from Japan. Toyota Company founded their base there. Spending better than $3.5 billion in Texas. It's a good win. Way to go. I like it. And then the ceasefire is over. The president calling the Iranian leadership, not the people, the Iranian leadership. Wait, what's the word? They're scum, their liars, their cheats, they're sick people. Okay, that'll about summarize it. When we come back, the trial in Utah and the embarrassment to Candace Owens. Guests, the other shows can't book, topics they won't talk about, and guaranteed human. It's the morning show with Preston Scott.

Candace Owens has become a caricature of herself, just like Tucker Carlson has, where you just, you cannot rely on them for any information whatsoever. You just need to leave, flee. I just want to point out, I was watching some of the testimony and video from that was released in the trial of the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk, the guy who claimed he shot him. He said he did it. He texted he did it. He left a gun behind, said he left a gun behind. I mean, they found the gun. I mean, I don't know what else there is here. But they're in this stage of it's sort of like a grand jury without the grand jury. They're making the case. before I think a judge that's going to decide if there's enough probable cause to pursue trial. And then I guess the alleged shooter enters a plea.

Because one of her most famous statements is that this kid is being framed that he was never on that campus. He never set foot. And that is all but a quote. Well, they just rolled out video after video after video of the alleged shooter on campus multiple times in the hours and day preceding the shooting. He was casing it. They also have tape of him with more than likely the gun in his pants, at least a portion of it because of the way he's walking. He's walking with something stuck down his pant leg. First, it's him, and it was him earlier, and it's him walking around, and they're showing all this video of him on campus. And it just ends. Now, Candice is probably going to say, oh, that's AI. That's AI. No, it's him. And I don't know what you say about, you know, I don't know what Candice says about the fact that the guys admitted to doing it to his male lover who was transitioning, which I don't know what that makes the alleged shooter. So he's interested in a dude who's pretending to be a woman. That is beyond my brain being able to grab a hold up. But the point here is Candice. It doesn't make sense. She's married. Her infatuation with being married to Charlie Kirk is long rearview mirror. She's married. She's got kids. She's married to some rich dude from England whose dad is in parliament. I mean, in the House of Lords, which is like the Senate. Candace, let it go. Girl, just go. Just go to England. Live there.

Fight your fight against the Islamists. Let me know how that works out for you. Her attacks on Erika Kirk are beneath contempt. They're obscene. They're cruel. They're heartless. And I remember a time when I was trying to get her on the show. I thought so highly of her. Years ago. Talk about just the power of ego and pride to corrupt somebody. So I share this because I think it's important for you to always circle back to you in the sense of don't rely on me. I do my best to be faithful to God, and I do my best to faithfully discharge my duties and share stories that are interesting to me that I think are interesting to others. And I try to be objective in how I look at things, but I always look at things through the lens of my first loyalty, and that's to God as a Christian. But I'm human and I can make mistakes. And when I make one, I do my very best to correct it and correct it very publicly. But you can't rely on me. What I hope to do is cause you to think about a perspective on a story or about a story. Forget perspective. Just, wow, that's an interesting story. I'm going to read more and go and dig and read more and then formulate your thoughts. And if I give you a way to consider it that maybe you would otherwise, good. We're better for that. I'm better for the people that take the time to write me and say, have you thought about this? I'm better for that. Even if I dismiss that, I'm better for it. So, anyway, just get people off pedestals. Don't let people become gods or little saints or anything like that. That's God. God belongs on the pedestal. The rest of us, no, no.

It's Thursday. Now, something could pop up, but for right now, we've got Dr. David Hartz joining us. We'll help you feel better. A little optimum health naturally. We have road trip suggestion. That's always fun. We have Steve Stewart from Tallahasse reports. Lots to talk about the ballots, the sample. The mail-in ballots, if you requested one, they start going out tomorrow. Thursday the 9th. And it begins. The primaries are right around the corner. We'll talk to Steve, get his thoughts on what's going on here with the upcoming elections locally. A lot of other issues as well. A lot of things to talk about. And then there's just a bunch of stories. I've got, I have a stack on my desk of stories. That is darn near embarrassing. It's not quite embarrassing. It's almost embarrassing. But maybe we'll check off some of those as well. Brought to you by Baranow Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show 180 on WFLA. Look back at the program in 180 seconds or less. Deuteronomy 7 versus 17 and 18. That's where we started the program today. Had a good visit with Dr. Bob McClure. Jose offered his thoughts on a couple of interesting stories in our edition of No Way, Jose, where I literally say, no way, Jose. Listener reaction to the segment, huge. A lot of pats on the back for this segment today. If you missed it, check out the podcast. The ceasefire with Iran is over. Man, I just, never mind. Toyota moving production of the Tacoma back to Texas from Mexico. That's a win. Manhattan high-rise evacuated, potential collapse there.
