Ep. 5561: Good Old Fashion Journalism.

Should I do the... It's time to wake up. Come on, everybody. Here you go. Time to start the show. It'll be fun. We'll be together. It's Thursday on the program. He's Jose. I'm Preston. It is show 5561. It is good to be with you. We are under a tornado watch in the region. So just be advised. Here's what's happening. You got a little bit of a collision of a warm system and a cold system. And when those two things collide, they spin up weather. And so, yes, cooler temperatures are coming in. Told you that yesterday. And the result for a little while here today as the cooler weather settles in is the chance of something happening. So we'll be listening. We'll be paying attention. And, oh, by the way, if something does happen, the emergency alert system will interrupt our program. We won't know that it's happening. Okay. We won't know that the EAS has gone off. So just, you know, if we sound stupid, man, they don't even know what's going on. I, we... We are on a delay, which means that when an EAS goes off, you should know. We don't get like some kind of notice on our computers. It completely circumvents our system. It triggers automatically totally outside of us, and we don't know that it's happening. Now, I wish we did. I wish we had a little, you know, something flash on our screens or something. You know, we certainly have one, two, three, four, five. We got five or six computer screens between the two of us. But that's not how it works. So until they make that enhancement, you're just going to find that we get interrupted if some weather happens and nothing we can do. All right. You may let us know. You have the phone number. Let's begin with some scripture from Romans 10, beginning with verse 14. How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? Paul's writing this. He said, and how are they to believe in him of whom they've not ever heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they're sent, as it is written? Now beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news. But they still, but they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord who has believed what he has heard from us? Who has believed what he has heard from us? Sorry, in the question for him. So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. All right, there's so many of, you know, I jokingly refer to as God's greatest hits. I mean, all of Scripture is, but there are scriptures that a lot of people hear more frequently. And that is one. Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. But I think you go back to the beginning.

We have really fallen into the lazy habit of believing that preaching is strictly a sermon on Sunday. If you're a Christian and you notice somebody at work having a rough day and you just say, hey, you're okay, you're preaching. You say, hey, do you need somebody to listen? You're preaching. If you put an arm around their shoulders, say, hey, look, I'm just, I'm going to pray for you. How can I pray for you? You're preaching. Wherever you are, you have ministry. And you have the option to preach or not. It's up to you. And this entire set of verses from Romans 10 is all about taking that responsibility, owning it, and using your life to preach to others. And sometimes you use words. I think that'll work. That's a good way to start the show. Thursday, busy day. A lot of guests. So stick around. We'll make it worth your while. Here on the morning show with Preston Scott. Welcome to MAD Radio Network. It's the morning show with Preston Scott.

All right, March 12th. Sorry, I was looking at some of the recon footage from CENTCOM of military targets being destroyed. And I recognize that in some of those cases, there are people on board boats and on board vehicles and so forth. Where's a tough thing? By the way, working with and we plan to have on, I think I've scheduled it late next week, and Iranian National that fled the country in 1979 and works for a think tank here in the United States, was educated at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. and has come to the United States and has, I think, just will get some tremendous perspective on what some Iranians are thinking about the actions. I just thought, okay, what better possible guess than someone who was there and is living in exile? Okay. Probably still have family friends over there. I don't know, but we'll find out. Can't wait for that. 1775 on March 12th, the first known use of a steam engine in the United States. Sorry, I said 1775. 1755. New Jersey copper mine used to pump water from the mine. 1755, we were using a steam engine. Come get some of that world. 1912, Juliet Gordon Lowe founds the Girl Scouts of the USA and Savannah, Georgia. And she would be embarrassed at what's happened. Just like Boy Scouts. Just saddened. 1923, first motion picture was sound, recorded on film, demonstrated in L.A. shows people dancing to music but has no dialogue. First radio of the fireside chats broadcast. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt urges depression-weary Americans to have faith in U.S. Banks, 1947 Harry Truman establishes the Truman Doctrine. Today's National Popcorn Lever's Day. Popcorn is underrated. It is an underrated locale snack that I will give you, if you love popcorn, that's just something a little bit more than the general popcorn. Like if you like it with a little bit of butter on it, not at the movie theater, just the stuff that you pop in the microwave at home. I'm going to give you the mother of all suggestions. You ready? If you live in and around the area, go buy cushions and get a can of cushions seasoning. It's a Cajun spice, but it's not like blackened as in heavy spice. It's not spicy. It's made of spices, but it's not spicy, but it's a Cajun blend. And open up that bag of popcorn, give it a few shakes of Cush's. Close it up and shake it up. Enjoy that popcorn. I've been telling Cush for years, man, put something on your tables that says Cush's seasoning, great for popcorn. And oh, by the way, it's great on corn on the cob. Hot buttered corn on the cob, sprinkle some of that on.

It's just next level. It is so good. And no, I'm not being paid for this. I'm just a big fan of that stuff. It is, it is National Skin Barrier Day. Skin's your largest organ, your body. Big deal. National Working Mom's Day. Every day is National Working Mom's Day. If you're a working mom, man, I salute you. National Baked Scallops Day, National Plant of Flower Day, and so there you go. Come back with authenticated, something that's authentic. On your phone with the IHeart Radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos. Dude, yes. And IHearts Radio Station. Channeling a little Bruce Hornsby there, huh? Yeah. We do it where the morning show band is concerned. Thursday on the program, we'll tell you about the show in just a little bit, but I just, these kinds of stories fascinate me. It's why I had Mike Wolf on the program back a few weeks ago. History's greatest picks. is the new show. I've watched every episode so far. They're great fun to watch. It's not stuff that Wolf has picked on American Pickers. These are all other people's fines. But I've always, you'd think I'd go to a bunch of flea markets and garage sales and just see what I could find, but I don't. But I love reading about it. This isn't exactly a garage sale find, but if you're in the world of art, your dream is being put on a team to authenticate a masterpiece, a painting from an absolute master of the art space. And in this case... Reichs Museum in Amsterdam. And perhaps I'm mispronouncing that. It could be Ricks. It could be something else. The researchers there had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let me give you the backstory. Back in 1960, they removed something called the vision of Zacharias in the temple from Rembrandt. They thought it was from Rembrandt. An anonymous art collector then acquired the work in 1961, and it remained unknown where it landed. No one knew where he kept it, where he displayed it, if he displayed it, nothing. 65 years later, just 10 days ago, the museum announced that the painting was indeed by Rembrandt.

The researchers spent the last two years analyzing the work. It came back into their possession or available to them. Not all the details are released at this point. According to the Oxford companion to art, most artists in the 17th century, so he's painting. Rembrandt painted in the 1600s, just to put some context on this. Most artists in Holland painted what was around them. Rembrandt did commissioned works, and they were mostly religious, or at the very least, allegorical. And that's what he would paint throughout his lifetime. The vision of Zacharias in the temple. was very similar to what he, he was 27 when he painted this stuff. Simeon's Song of Praise, Daniel and Cyrus before the idol bell, Jeremiah lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem. These are the titles of his other works. But the vision of Zecharias in the temple is. And, you know, I don't know if I can even show this to Jose to do it justice. But when you look at the painting, Rembrandt uses deep, rich colors and creates this kind of hazy light in his paintings that is just remarkable how he does it. And, um, And to think that he's painting this stuff at such a young age. This is a scene from the Bible, and that's what Rembrandt loved. It depicts Zecharias ministering in all of his regalia. at the altar of incense when the angel Gabriel appeared to proclaim that the elderly priest and his wife Elizabeth would conceive and they would of course conceive John the Baptist. Their child would be John the Baptist. Zecharias would be mute until his son's birth. And the painting is about that moment. And the light is emblematic of the angel appearing to him. But it is now on loan and can be viewed with other Rembrandts at the museum in Amsterdam. So if you're making a roadie, you're tour in Europe, you end up in Holland and you want to go to Amsterdam, check out the museum. You just, Rembrandt, it's just one of those names. I never would have thought he was in his 20s painting these masterpieces. He was a kid. He was a kid. It's crazy. Anyway, the painting's been authenticated. It's for real and it's on display. 27 past the hour. Big stories in the press box next here on the morning show.

On News Radio 100.7, WFLA. Big stories in the press box this morning. First, what impacts you the most? February inflation number is out and it's coming in at 0.25%, which is the lowest since March of 2021. It's above what the Fed is targeting is 2%. And so, yeah, consumer price index rose 0.2%. which is, and then January, from January, 2.5% over the past year. If you take food and energy prices out, which are volatile, you're 2.4%. I don't know why do that. But here's the thing. We will see a spike due to what's going on in the Middle East. It's going to happen. I have faith in what we're doing. Maybe it's misplaced, we'll find out, but I think that here's what I think is important about the number here. It indicates that the tariffs aren't impacting prices. Anyway, but here's the big story. There is a massive fraud going on in California. Hospice fraud. And guess who broke the story? CBS News. I have told you when Bari Weiss took over. You remember, Bari Weiss was the person that left the New York Times. I think she was the editor of the op-ed page. I think. But she left the Times. took another job or two, and then was hired by CBS to fix CBS news. And a bunch of people on CBS quit. Others went in to see the boss. It's like you can't do this. And she, because she was the one recognizing the bias in the New York Times. And she called it out. Now, she leans left, but she said you cannot ignore the lack of objectivity in news. She said it doesn't matter what my opinion is. I'm paraphrasing here. It doesn't matter. You have to present news objectively. And so she was just blasted by the left for it. She's been blasted by a lot of the coworkers at CBS. Some folks at 60 minutes quit. She removed others. And she's like, no, we're going to do this right. So the fact that this story comes from CBS News is as big a story as the fraud itself. It is. Now, we'll get into the fraud next hour.

The hospice fraud is staggering under Gavin Newsom's watch. They had the gall to try to blame this on Trump, of course, the Gavin Newsom campaign. Because even though he's not declared, he's declared. He's, you know, Gavin's going to take a run for the Democrat nomination. And he's good on his feet. He's a good talker. But. The actions in California just will eviscerate him because they're so beyond mainstream. He's so out of touch. Anyway, I just thought it would be worth you keeping an eye on because Fox News is a coin flip. Sometimes it's like doing great and sometimes it's like weird what they're covering and how they're covering it. CBS News seems to be paying attention and reeling it back in. That would be a welcome thing. 20 minutes away from Steve Stewart joining us from Tallahassee reports. More to come here on the morning show with Preston Scott. Sense of Sensi of Sensibility. Communicator of Common Sense Amplified. It's the morning show with Preston Scott.

Be frosty. Be alert out there. Just saying, you've got to be alert. We are in heightened times. Just leave it right there. Welcome to Florida, Howard Schultz and wife. He and his wife Sherry and their golden retriever Jonas have moved from Seattle. He, of course, the former CEO of Starbucks, has decided to take his considerable wealth and holdings to the Sunshine State. You don't say. Isn't that a curious move? Used to live in New York. 44 years ago, moved it to Seattle. He started a new job at a place called Starbucks in September of 1982. He would be the CEO of the company. He wrote, The Spirit of Continuing Forward has long underpinned our approach to life and business and philanthropy, most importantly, as a family. For those of you who know us well, we have entered the retirement phase of our lives, a term we're both just getting used to. We'll be forever grateful for the memories made in Seattle. The relationships built along the way to the family, friends, and partners who made Seattle our home for so many years. Thank you. They've relocated to Miami. Some of their children live on the East Coast, so they're closer to their kids and their grandkids. Of course, now the announcement comes as the state of Washington has passed in the House and is going through the Senate, the Millionaire's Tax. That would pose a 9.9% income tax on household earnings of more than $1 million annually.

I'm not sure that's even constitutionally allowed. I don't know that the Constitution says anything about it or not, but I would think that even our tax rates, as they sit right now, punishing success, could perhaps be challenged in court. Why should somebody, I had this discussion with a neighbor the other day. We were talking about the possibility of a property tax program that would slowly eliminate property tax. And the neighbor said, well, what about properties over a million dollars? Shouldn't they? Should they get relief? I mean, they can afford a million. And I said, why? Why shouldn't they get relief? Why do we feel the need to punish success? And that's a mindset that we still have to find our way through. And those are discussions that really should be happening in consumer math classes. When you talk about tax rates and you talk about a regressive tax system, which we have here in our country, I would love to ask and just ask the questions. Should people that live in this country live under the freedoms afforded each of us by our Constitution and held in place by our military? Defense, system of government. Should people that make less money simply pay nothing? Should they have some something in it? Some kind of contribution? And is it really appropriate for people that make more money to pay over almost 40% of it to the government?

It just seems clunky to me. And talk about fair. That's unfair. But I welcome Mr. and Mrs. Schultz to the Sunshine State of Florida, where you will not face a wealth tax here in the state. You're welcome. Leave your politics behind. Some subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're here to make it all better. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. Next hour, Dr. David Hartz will talk to us. Kind of a surprising topic today. Very intrigued by what he is advanced to discuss. This story is kind of health related, only it's for the youngans. Philadelphia schools have adopted a new wellness program. Apparently, there was a recent school board meeting that went eight hours. There is a wellness advocacy program called Lift Every Voice. It is a grassroots parent organization. primarily black parents, who told the Philadelphia Inquirer that some parents, listen to this, were sending their students to school in diapers because bathroom breaks were not guaranteed in the school day.

And so the program that has been agreed to by the school board would guarantee bathroom breaks and recess among other changes. Interesting to me was not just that, but that any sort of collective punishment was banned. which included silent lunch hours, where the entire school must eat in silence due to the misbehavior of an individual student. And the same thing happened with bathroom breaks and recess. Now, I think back to when I was a Ute, as Rush would say, When I was younger than that and surrounded by other children, as Rush would say, and I recall classroom punishments. I recall that when one student misbehaved, the entire class paid a price. I thought it was really good idea. I didn't like it at the time, but here's what it did. It caused the offending party to consider his or her actions and how it would impact everybody else. Now, bathroom breaks, trips to the water fountain? No, you didn't touch those. That's crossing the line for an educator. Can't do that. And so that part of this change, I'm good. And I think that there is a need for recess. However, I do think it is in the toolbox for a teacher to use to get behavior out of the hole. And so if you've got one child really struggling and he causes a disruption. that costs the entire class recess or time in the lunchroom where they can't talk. I'm okay with that. It's a biblical principle. The story of Jonah teaches the principle that as one person goes, that one person affects the entire ship. So... This story stood out to me because this is a mixed bag. I think there's some really good things that happened, and I think there are things that caused me to scratch my head and go, and no. Yeah, buddy, here we go. Second hour. of the radio program affectionately known as Common Sense Amplified. It is The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's Jose. I'm Preston. And this is the executive editor of Tallahassee reports. He's Steve Stewart. Hello, Stephen. How are you? Good morning? Good? Yeah. Yeah, lots of meeting. Busy meetings. The meetings coincided this week. So it was like, yeah, there's a lot going on. I feel like I had to approach it this way. So how are we doing? You know, hey.

Tyler Ice is a great place to live in certain areas. And then, you know, it obviously. Well, we're trying to keep it that way. Exactly. We are. And there's there's some positive signs in a number of places. Want to start with city commission meeting. their regular business meeting, a couple of issues just that are top of mind. First is the negotiation with the PBA, the police union, has been going on. And, you know, there's been some issues with that in the past last time at past 3-2. Katie Porter Matlow voted against it. This year, all the talk was how smooth it went. And so sort of interesting, Commissioner Matlow is running for mayor. So he decided to support the PBA contract this time. Isn't that interesting? So the vote was for one, but all the talk was about how it was just so collegial in negotiations. And, you know, there's been some major changes in the last couple years. Remember the tax increase, controversial to go to law enforcement and technology. And the recruiting has really stepped up. We're increasing a number of police officers starting salary, $70,000 with other benefits, which we. You know, we'll have a story on Tiari here soon. And so that's all good news. I think moving forward, public safety is obviously the most important priority for local government. Sometimes that gets shoved aside. But so that is in the books. So that lasts for three years. Okay. And so I'll move forward with that. Again, Jack Katie Porter voted against it. And I think that, you know, she's not running for reelection. She's had some issues with the 287G. She has spoken out. and a number of meetings about her disdain for the 287G that was signed as an administrative task by Chief Revell and Reese Goad. But wasn't it, in fact, enforced back in the early 2000s? That was with the county, and I'm not sure with the police department. I know that they cooperated when they were asked. Right. Again, it's very minimal of what the police department does because you... You know, if you pull someone over, they're not asking for papers. If you're a DUI, they take you to the sheriff's, they arrest you, take you to the jail. And then that is where they start finding out. The city doesn't have a jail. It's the county. Right. And so it's very minimal. But again, you have to understand, and this is sort of my perspective of how they do this, the progressives are taking these issues and trying to elevate them as a way to separate, divide the community, and get elected. Yeah. And so anyway. That was the vote on that. Second thing is there's two empty lots downtown. They're called the St. John, or the John's building lot and the Chevron lot. There's a beach volleyball court on there. They've been undeveloped. And there was a couple of fault starts on some developments. But now the city put them out for bid to get, you know, see if there was interest. Got quite a bit of interest. A group called 908 group got that came back with the highest bid, $11 million for both lots.

And so they're going to build some apartments, hotel, and some retail. And so the thing on this is I don't know if you've been over on Gain Street across from the business school, where the business school is now. And we've talked about this over the last 10 years, but the FSU is migrating towards downtown. Yes, they are. Which I think is a good thing given trying to create more activity downtown. The business school, if you haven't seen that, it's just a... First of all, it's a beautiful building, but it holds obviously a lot of classes. And that is a walking distance from downtown. The Civic Center, obviously, was bought from FSU. And so that whole area actually bought from the county, I'm sorry, FSU bought it from the county. And so that whole area there is going to become a, you know, a business hub. And so I think this is, again, makes those lots valuable. Interesting note that these the second rated bid was $8.5 million and it was FSU. So anyway, they're going to work out. That passed, I believe for one. There was a, I think Dionne Williams Cox voted a. against it for some other reasons. But anyway, they're moving forward with that. So those are two positive things for the city commissioning. All right, we got more to talk about with Steve Stewart again. Subscribe to the paper. You'll learn things that you won't learn anywhere else. And I can say that very safely at tallyassureports.com.

Days when times were good and life was simple, he still lives there. The morning show with Preston Scott on News Radio 100.7, WFLA. Back to Steve Stewart of Tallahasseur reports. So we've got the City Commission meeting in the rearview mirror. Let's talk a little bit more about the FSU acquisition of TMAH. So they had a public hearing Wednesday 9 o'clock to go ahead and transfer the city on the assets from the city to FSU. The other part of that agreement, which is being worked on right now, is FSU working out an agreement with TMH to remain the hospital provider here in the community. And so, look, there's some back and forth here. There's some people. You can't get, everybody says that everything's moving forward, but there seems to be a little bit of a contingent that is, I call them agitators that don't want this to move forward. And if you start looking at the people that support this, FSU, Chamber of Commerce came out, supported NEPA, business group supported it. You've got TMH actually. moving forward with negotiations calling FSU a partner. There's just not a lot of room for people to oppose it. And if you start, what happened was they had the public hearing and going over that video and looking at it, the overall, what has happened is the progressives are against the transfer. They wanted to remain a community hospital, which is just death now for a community based on what has happened around the country. They just can't survive financially. And why are they opposing it? Well, the message is this, is that we want more time to, you know, inform the public on what's going on. And that was the constant theme. That was sort of their talking points. Commissioner Matlow said that. But ultimately, you figure out why they're against it. Because Matlow doesn't have the discipline to remain on point. He says, look, I just don't want the state owning the hospital. And so what he, he correlates FSU. running the hospital as Ron DeSantis getting into health care. And so it has nothing to do with any more time. And you could do it for four years. He's still going to be against FSU owning this hospital. When you look around and I've said this, you know, you drive, you drive west and you run into LSU health. You know, you drive south, you run into UF health and U.S.F health. And if you keep going, you'll run into UM health, UM health. This is the model, and it's a model for the fastest-growing industry sector, and you can complain about the money being spent on health care. But that's what communities are doing to get their share of the money and the jobs. And so that's where we have to go. But so anyway, this is moving forward because the people that understand this know that it needs to be done. And we're late to the – it should have been done years ago. Sure. So we're doing this. We've got to get now the next step, which I think – this will incentivize them to move, you know, a little bit more dental, Julie, is the agreement between FSU and TMH. And then this will be done. And you'll be, you'll be, and you're already seeing the branding of FSU health, but that's what we'll, that's what we'll get. Have you heard if TMH as it sits now is going to be operating the hospital?

What role does FSU play in the hospital moving full? Yeah, so there's a couple different things here, and it's going to be a long process, but TMH is still going to run the hospital. The board's going to be more diversified. It's not going to be just people that TMA appoint, but I think that early on is FSU is going to be more interested in the research and the teaching part of the hospital, and they're going to invest money. into the actual community hospital apparatus. I mean, that's part of the agreement over seven before with before I think within seven years, they have to invest $250 million into the actual infrastructure of the hospital. And so I think that's going to be the transition, probably not going to change from that of who's running it, but there's going to be upgrades in infrastructure. And they'll start laying the foundation for these specialty fields that will be developed. Any indication on whether they will be addressing staffing, most notably in the administrative wing and down where patient care is rendered? That's going to, look, they got to get the 17 agreements settled, and then that will be the interesting thing to watch moving forward. I do want to mention, though, this, look, this is, again, the progressives have tried to make this a political issue because of elections coming up. And. Again, my opinion, they find these types of issues, the 287G with immigration, this. And they try to divide the community because they want to make it black and white. I call it bumper sticker politics, you know. Sure. And so you know about. They started already because Lauren Osley, who's running for mayor, had a post on social media that stated, look, now that we're moving forward with this, you know, with this transition in FSU health, I look forward if I'm elected mayor, you know, to help this as. you know, transition as seamlessly as possible and to improve health care. And right off the bat, the Leon County Democratic Party, who was run by Ryan Ray, Matlow's paid aid, is asking Loran Osley if she's okay with the way this process went down. So not even a day after the vote, they're already trying to divide Democrats over this issue instead of trying to figure out how this can improve health care in our community. So it will be an interesting thing to watch. It's the Leon County illiberal. That's not, it's not the Democrat Party anymore. It just isn't. Just, just say it. 16 past the hour.

Final segment here with Steve Stewart of Tallahasseur reports. Again, Tallahasseurports.com. All right, I think we've kind of covered the city in brief, but you can always get more information on the website, Tallahasseurports.com, and subscribe and getting the paper. Yeah, the city briefs are up. We got that up very quick, so we go through each agenda item and what they vote on, so you can check that out. The county, though. Let's leave no stone unturned. That'll be up next. So Leon County had to deal with a couple of things. They dealt with the charter review committee, which was a left-wing exercise in trying to figure out what they could cram into the charter. Not many moderates on that group. No. So it had to be voted on by the... Leon County Commission. So one thing that is going to be on the ballot is a straw ballot about consolidation. Right. And the interesting, basically there's some tension between the county in the city right now. Sure. You know, they're upset about who gets the named streets and all that thing, you know, all that, but it's bigger than that fire services fee. But the debate was to put the language on the ballot that says, you know, do you support consolidated government under the structure of Leon County? Yeah. Or do you just support. you know, consolidated government, and then we work out who is. And so what they're going to put on the ballot is under the structure of Leon County. So that'll be on there. The charter review committee, so what they wanted to put a lot of things in the preamble and they wanted to, you know, like food, they wanted to create a new food assistance program. They wanted to put in the affordable housing as a right. And so the votes, what the staff was against this. Yeah. And so there's a big debate about why is the staff even weighing in? Why can't we just vote on what the committee is sent up? And this was from a minority of Leon County commissioners. And the problem is, is you don't want to mess up the charter. You're trying to make it clean. If you put one thing in the preamble, what does that mean you have that that has priority over other things that you're doing? And so it's more of a policy statement, not something that should be in the preamble. And so on a number of those issues, there was a four three vote, which we haven't seen in the county a lot. We're used to the three, two votes to the city of Tallahassee. And I think there's emerging sort of a divide there. And the three that were in the minority were county commissioners Nick Maddox, Bill Proctor, and David O'Keefe. You know, they wanted to get as much into the charter as possible. The others pushed back on that. It was a 70 vote. I think it was 7-0 or 6-1 on the consolidation question. So that was, and again, you can read about the specifics. It went on. It was very detailed. But again, I think it revealed a lot about what's going on with the county commission. When you say it was detailed. On the items that some of the commissioners want added to the preamble versus others that do not. Yes. Is it detailed to the point where they're defining terms? Because that's the big problem. They put these grandiose things that come out of this charter review committee that greatly impacted by the illiberal left, and I mean the extreme illiberal left.

But they don't ever define terms. No, and I think that was, I think there was the big debate between the policy side and the priorities. Like, you know, there's something, I think something that did, well, something that did pass was, you know, saying that the Leon County supports the human dignity of all people, which, again, is, you know, that's. Oh, good. God. So anyway, that is what the debate was over. Yeah. But. Now, I will add this. There was a vote on reparations in the committee level. It was nine to nine. A number of people spoke at the meeting wanting the county commission to keep that issue alive. And they voted 6-1 to keep it alive and to further discuss how this would look. You know, so the vote was 6-1. Brian Welch voted against it. And, you know... This is going to, I think this is going to drag on as a political issue. Yeah. And I'd almost rather, I was thinking about this, I'd almost rather I'm just put it on the ballot. And let's just figure out where we stand and get done with it. Because the way it's going to look like it's going to unfold now is we're going to be talking about it for years. They're going to take votes on should we start studying how much this cost? How do we create a fund? Because there are plenty of models on how to do this on the West Coast. So that's something to keep an eye on. And again, I think it might have been better just to put it on the ballot. Let's just have a vote. Well, actually, not just the West Coast, there's one town, it's either Illinois or Indiana that's doing it. They've actually handed out $25,000 checks to 44 people. 44? Yeah, and now they're trying to figure out how they're going to fund this. Yeah. Moving forward. So anyway, that's part of the discussion. Okay. So anyway, we'll keep you update on that. I look forward to next week. As always, thank you. Thanks, Preston. Steve Stewart, Talasher Report, subscribe, get that paper. Just go to Talasher Reports.com and support it. You're out there listening to this show and you don't have a subscription to this paper. Come on now, people. Come on. Do the right thing here. It's the morning show with Preston.

Show with Preston Scott. This is the way. On News Radio 100.7, WFLA. Big stories in the press box. Stay away from the airports. And remind yourself when you're stuck with four-hour TSA lines, this is 100% on the Democrats. 100%. They will not fund DHS. They think this is funny. They think this is how you negotiate. You hurt people. This has been a tactic of the left for years. And they somehow try to twist it and blame it on Republicans. We are compromised in our safety. Think about that right now. We've got the likelihood of Iranian sleeper cells, Islamic extremists, and we now have the inability to properly secure our flights because the Bill Gates are not as secure as they should be. Because we don't have the personnel. This is 100% on the Democrats.

Speaking of, last hour we talked about the fraud being uncovered by CBS News underscore that. CBS is starting to find its way back to good, old-fashioned journalism because Bari Weiss is in charge of CBS News, and she's not having any of it. She's just not putting up with the illiberal left slant on news. So what they've uncovered, is in California, they are using hospice to defraud the federal government of millions and millions of dollars. The number of hospice agencies in L.A. County has increased 1,500 percent since 2010, sorry. which is beyond the 40% increase in senior population. 40% increase in seniors, a percentage of them would enter hospice care, right? But a 1,500% increase in hospice providers. But that's not the real smoking gun here. The smoking gun... is that not just six times the national average in growth of hospice, but that they're putting people in hospice that aren't going into hospice. For example, story that CBS News reported, Lynn Iani, 69-year-old, active, injured while playing pickleball, got some physical therapy, was told Medicare wouldn't cover it because she was dying and in hospice. She said, what? Someone had ripped off her number and was using it to make false claims on her ID number for hospice care. That's just the tip of the iceberg. What they also found is that 100% of the people in, quote, hospice care are surviving past six months, which is a statistical impossibility. if it's legitimate hospice care, because hospice care is end of life. 100%. And so not only is it not accurate, not only is it revealing that there are people that have had their hospice basically benefits ripped off because their Medicaid number was taken and then sold. So people inside the medical industry now know that if somebody comes in, they use Medicaid to cover some treatments, they take that number, or they take that, they've siphoned that from some other source, and they apply it, and they say, oh, this person's in hospice care. And they start billing the federal government or the state of California, which bills the federal government. Same thing. And they're not in hospice care. And this is happening under Gavin Newsom's watch. It might be bigger than what's happened in Minneapolis, in Minnesota. But once again, the left, where the left hands out programs, money, they don't look, everybody deserves it. We're not going to check too harshly or too deeply or any.

And so the big story here is not just the fraud, but that CBS News covered it. That is a huge story. Speaking of healthcare, stay with us. Decades of doing morning drive radio differently. Doing it his way, like old blue eyes. Except he has a little more hair. The morning show with Preston Scott. All right, time for some optimum health naturally. And joining us, Dr. David Hartz, when you sent me this topic, I had to blink a few times. What do old guys like us know about video games? Well, I tell you what, I was checking this out. And, of course, we're always concerned about this segment of what we can do to get healthier. And then sometimes there's things we do in our lives that... We're not really aware of that's affecting our health. And, you know, these video games people are playing, and I don't play that much, but so I was really amazed when I found out that there's 3.3 billion gamers in the world. In fact, almost half the people in the world are doing this. And 70% of the consumers in America identified as gamers. The average between 8 to 15 hours per week doing it and some up to 20 hours per week. Wow. Young people are over the age to 13 and 15 or average in over 15 hours. And this can be up to, you know, two to three hours, four hours. And some of these kids have done it over, you know, a whole 24-hour period, played until they dropped. In fact, there are a small number of people, and this is not everybody, of course, that there was 11 that they know they actually had heart attacks while doing it. Yeah. But I'm not saying that these things are life-threatening, but they definitely affect the body and what we're finding out. is that it's affecting a neurotransmitter, which everybody may have heard of, called dopamine. And a dopamine actually helps regulate your pressure parts of the brain. It affects motivation, anticipation, and desire. And what they did is they studied this different games, and they found out that it produces a dopamine spike. It's not like a drug, like a street drug. That's much more of a higher spike. But this actually doubles your dopamine when you're playing a video game. And so what it does is over a long period of time with consistently stimulating this type of reaction of this dopamine, it produces addiction. The one, what's amazing about it is that this doubled amount of dopamine is about the same amount that occurs when you eat or have sex. It's something that's significant enough to produce a want for this. And so what's happening is when you do it over a prolonged period of time, it's producing addiction to the game.

And what happens over a longer period of time, if you do it for excessive periods of time, then you get actually spikes so much of the dopamine that they start decreasing. And when that happens, then depression starts to occur. Irritability starts to occur. There's all kinds of other manifestation that can occur over a period of time. Now, it doesn't mean that all video games are bad. It doesn't mean, in fact, in short periods of time, there's some research that says that it's beneficial for people. because they can get some socialization the way it works and also give them some relief from just boredom. Sure. When you start getting long periods of time doing this, especially, it starts to become a big, big problem. And one thing I say is that, you know, if you can't stay away from this... for a few weeks, then you should be concerned. Yeah. I was just going to... You can't stay... Well, I was going to ask, Dr. Hartz, does it mirror the addiction to drugs in that? You start to seek more of it to obtain the same high you had when you started. Well, and that's true. It does have a tendency. It's a neurotransmitter and a hormone dopamine. And you become resistant to it, and therefore you have to have more stimulation to get the same... kind of, you know, a reaction that you had before. And then over a period of time, it actually decreases, yes. How about that? All right. Well, that explains a lot of things for a lot of people. Yeah. Well, it's a matter of, it's not always bad. It's not something terrible, but you need to keep it down to five hours per week and then try to take a break. If you can't stay away from it for, you know, a week or two weeks or even a month, then you're becoming really kind of. hooked to it. It's a problem. It's a problem. Yep. All right. Dr. Hartz, thanks very much. We'll talk again soon. All right. Have a great day, pressure. Thank you, sir. Dr. David Hart's with us this morning and again. It's not about video games. It's about how much you're playing. I mean, it's not about the Oreo. Do you sit down and eat the whole bag, the whole thing of them? You know what I mean? That's what we're talking about here. And you do it every day. Anyway, 47 minutes past the hour.

Time to go on the road again. Load up the country squire and head on out. This suggestion comes from Steph who told me about the smoking on Blackshear Barbecue and Balloon Festival. Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club in Cordial, Georgia hosts the event. The Smoking on Blackshear Barbecue and Balloon Festival. It is, it is, it is teaming up with the Georgia Barbecue Association to bring you a bunch of barbecue, live music, food from across the state, different arts and crafts vendors. A hot air balloon glow, huh? Not a show, a glow where at night they light up. Have you ever seen a hot air balloon at night? The flame illuminates the balloon. It's spectacular. I've seen those several times in Arizona. And they also offer tethered rides. So if you want to go up and just sort of see what it's like to go up, you're tethered to the ground, but you're going up and you're in the gondola. That's the place to do it. You might be saying, well, hey, press, when is this event happening? Well, I'm glad you asked Smedley. It's coming up before you know it. It's Friday, April 24th and Saturday, April 25th, from 4 p.m. to dark on Friday, 10 a.m. to dark on Saturday. And so I would guess Saturday is your full day. Friday would be a taste of maybe the food and the balloon glow and maybe a concert or two. So it's Cordial, Georgia. And that's what? It's just a few short hours away. It's not far at all. Got to drive through the farmlands of southern Georgia to get there. Cordial is real close to high 75. And so look it up, lake blackshare resort.com. So there you go. You're welcome. Now before we get to U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, we haven't had coach on in quite a while, came across this. A study referencing discussions about self-expression mental health found a statistical correlation. between individuals who dye their hair unconventional colors and higher self-reported rates of depression and emotional volatility. Researchers said their findings reflect correlation, not causation. But it's interesting how there seems to be a connection between people that have their hair dyed weird colors. We're not talking about, you want to keep your hair a little blonde, a little longer, you want to mask the gray. We're not talking about that. Obviously, you can take one look at my quaff and realize that I am masking nothing. But it's easy to understand how some of the weird stuff that you see out there is, yeah. It's like when you look at a lot of the offals,

When you see a lot of the affluent white female liberals, a lot of them have these. They're wearing their Birkenstocks, and again, painting with a broad brush, and they got these weird dyes in their hair. It's like, yeah, that fits. You're crazy. I'm not saying if you do that, you are. I'm just saying that there seems to be a correlation. That's what researchers are saying. I didn't say it. They said it. I'm just nodding my head in agreement with the science. You know, we're all about settled science here on the morning show with Preston Scott. When we come back, he's running for governor of Alabama. He is a U.S. Senator. His former coach at Auburn, Tommy Tuberville joins me next. All right, friends. Welcome to the third hour. Appreciate you joining us here on Terrestrial Radio or IHeart Radio. However you find us, we're grateful. Truly grateful. That is Jose running the radio program in Studio 1A. I am your host, Preston Scott, and I am joined by the coach, U.S. Senator and candidate for governor in the great state of Alabama, Tommy Tuberville. Coach, how are you? Good morning, Preston. I'm doing great. Thanks for asking. I'm anxious to talk about your gubernatorial campaign, but I have to ask you. It is topic du jour for the last several weeks around here. What's going on with the Save Act? Why can't this just let them filibuster a talk and let's vote and get it done? 100% agree. It is amazing up here. It is an 80-something percent. approval rating, not just Republicans, but also most of the Democrats. It's not quite as high for the Democrats, but it's a super majority. Yep. So at the end of the day, we got so many people up here that's word to death about getting reelected, and that's what's wrong with this place. You know, I might hurt my voting and all this. And instead of doing what's best for the country. I tell people this. People ask, but what do you think the biggest reason we need to pass this? First of all, we've got 15 states in this country. They're absolutely going to cheat the hell out of the American people. And they're the blue states. And they do everything they can from the city government all the way up to the federal government of stacking the boxes that's been proven. It's not just hearsay. We know what happens. And so you lost 15 states right there if we don't get voter ID. We've lost them. We have no chance for the American people, you know, to save their country. And so 77 million people. Not Democrats or Republicans, Preston, voted for Donald Trump. 77 million. And they're tired of this nonsense. They're tired of politics. They want their country back. And they want fair elections. When I go throughout Alabama, coach, please tell me my vote's going to count. And for us in Alabama, and of course, a lot of the Panhandle in Florida, you're going to have fair elections. But that's just one of...

are two states out of 50 that I know we can count on. We need 50 out of 50. Why is it so difficult for John Thune to understand, I should say, the polling that you mentioned. We've talked about it. 70 plus percent of blacks, 70 plus percent of Latinos, 73 percent of Democrats, and the overall number is 83 percent. You're going to lose votes by not voting this into place. Yeah. He's trying to play politics. You know, he's a leader up here, and I didn't vote for him. And he's John's a good guy, and he's a Republican, believes in the country. But he's got five or six, seven people in our caucus that are Republicans are not really Republicans. You know, number one, they all hate Donald Trump. And they won't. to more vote for the Democratic side, and we know who they all are. And so in defense of him, if he brings it up just a regular vote, we got no shot because we have to have 60 votes. And so that's the reason I've been pushing all along. There's no reason for us to do the antiquated filibuster anymore because they're going to bust it when they get control, which is going to be very soon if we don't go ahead and do the Save Act. It's just important that we understand that we need to get things done like the Save Act, the budget. If nothing but this situation we're in right now, I went through some airports in the last few weeks, Preston. TSA is a god-awful mess. Yes, it is. And it's all because the Democrats refused to fund DHS. It's not really about TSA for them. They just hate to lose their voting base, which is illegals. And so we could do a 51 vote, bust a filibuster, vote it, clean that up, do the Save America Act, and do so much for the American people. If we would do the right thing and bust the filibuster. Forget about. They say, well, it's tradition in the Senate. We have 60. Hey, I don't work for the Senate. I work for the American people and the people of Alabama. Let's get this done because this is a different world than what it was, Preston, 10 years ago. The Democrats have turned crazy on us. Absolutely nuts. Joining us on the program, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, we got a lot to talk about. One more segment to go here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Surprise if you laugh. We suggest you use the restroom before you listen. Or invest in a 30-foot catheter. Yes, I use it all the time. This is the morning show with Preston Scott. A few more minutes this morning with a friend of the program, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. Before we get to the governor's race in your state, coach, just your level of comfort or discomfort with what's going on in the Middle East. Well, I feel good about it. I feel good about why we did it. You hate to lose. any of our soldiers, and unfortunately we've lost a few. But, Presidents, to the point where we finally got a president who would say enough's enough on building nuclear weapons or funding terrorism all over the world. We've had 180 taxes in the last few years on American citizens from terrorists that are funded by Iran. They hate this country. They hate Americans. They hate Christianity. And it's time to put them in their place. So he has. Now, do we need to stay very long? No, we do not. We need to get in. We need to get out. And we need to turn this over to another regime. Now, it sounds like his son is going to take over, but there has been regime change. We're making sure that they have no uranium, no nuclear facilities, and give our kids and grandkids a peace of mind that if something happens in this world, it's not going to be because of Iran and the Islamic terrorist. Let's switch over now to your run for governor. Why did you decide to make the decision to push away from the U.S. Senate and head to the executive office of Alabama? Well, the president is sending more power back to the states, more money back to the states. You know, we're at a standstill up here. You're not going to get much done. You know, President Trump, you have to have the White House. And President Trump, but most everything he's getting done is by executive orders. Now, we did do the one big, beautiful bill. But that took an arm and a leg just to twist the arms of some of these rhinos we got in the Senate to get this done with 51 votes. We didn't have to have 60. So it's time of me to go back. I can do a lot more good there. because understanding and knowing and communicating with President Trump, getting things done for the southeast part of the country, we're going to grow manufacturing, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee. I'm looking forward to it. I can build something. You know, it's kind of like being a head football coach. You've got to hire your own staff in your cabinet, and you've got to have a game plan, and you put it to work up here. There's no game plan.

Tomorrow on the program, I've got an interesting piece. Long. Very long. And I've just kind of, I've come to this sort of summary statement to describe it. The erosion of the foundation of this nation. by attacking the evangelical church. I cannot wait to share some of this with you. That's tomorrow, yes, the Friday edition of the Morning Show. In the wild or in our homes, we love them critters large and small. Time for another edition of Animal Stories on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Medina County, Ohio. Last month, a bunch of government internet services went out, including the county prosecutor, their office. They thought contractors doing work in the area sliced through the underground fiber. And so government operations. as well as the prosecutor's office went dark. They could not do their jobs. And then they found the real cause. A squirrel. A squirrel built its nest inside the fiber infrastructure. And then what does squirrels do? They chew. They chew anything they can get their little stinking teeth around. Why? Because the front teeth of a squirrel grow nonstop. And they have to chew on things to keep them filed down. And so they had to catch the squirrel and remove it. I don't know how they keep it out. I mean, I know how I've had to resort to keeping squirrels out of places. But, yeah. Gotta love those squirrels, man. I love them. They sure love me and my Adirondack furniture made of composite materials in the bag that they're eating. They're destroying. Firefighters in Coral Springs, Station 43. This is one of those things. I guess you call them.

They pulled a python out of a car's dashboard, and it was one of those yellow ones. It was a pet that got loose from somewhere and had slitted it into the car and got behind the dashboard. Can you imagine? I'm sorry. I just, I've got that scene from Ace Ventura, pet detective, when nature calls, when he's running out holding that bat, that is me and a snake. And a yellow one? That's so evil looking. And then a conservation officer was summoned to an antique store in East Durham, New York, Green County. New York Department of Environment Conservation said Officer Darren Milleron was called into duty. Why? Shoppers, listen to this. Just imagine now, you're shopping in an antique store, which could have anything, right? And up on a shelf was a cookie jar, up on a bookshelf, and right next to it sleeping was a screech owl. An owl had gotten in there and was just sitting, standing, perched, motionless, sound asleep next to the cookie jar, looking like an antique thing. And they're like, people were looking at it, and it's like, and then all of a sudden they could see it's breathing. And so he gently scooped up the owl, brought him outside and turned him loose. There you go, animal stories. An exclusive presentation here on the morning show with Preston Scott. Wherever you may be from Florida Sunshine State to New York's. Forget New York. Nah, scratch that. New York's now hopeless. At least the city is. For the rest, we're your morning show. The morning show with Preston Scott.

Yeah, the Iranians doing what they do, firing missiles from hospital locations, from schools. They move their portable missile launchers in these places for obvious reasons. To create the PR, to create the catastrophic type of injuries to innocent civilians. That's what they did in Gaza. They bury themselves in with civilians. That's what they do. They're cowards. There's nothing honorable about anything that they're doing. Nothing. Anyway, big stories in the press box. You heard the angst in U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville's voice. If you miss the segment, go back and check out the interview. It's on the Conversations podcast, even now. Even now, it's there waiting for you. And what you heard was the absurdity of the Democrats refusing to fund DHS, Department of Homeland Security, which is not funding TSA. And what this does is this makes us a very unsafe nation. And it is all 100% the fault of the Democrats. And I know that for some of you, you're like, yeah. And for some others of you, you're like, oh, stop it. Everything's not the fault of the Democrats. Well, a lot of it is, yeah. No, when I blame Republicans frequently. I let blame fall wherever it belongs. And this belongs. with Democrats. Democrats are wrong about everything. They just are. If we could, if I could just snap my fingers, I would make all Republicans, true Republicans, no rhinos. I would, I would make the majority of them conservatives. And I would go back in time and bring back the Democrats of a smattering of them from the 60s and 70s. Can't go back further than that because then you got all the bigots that hate black people. And that's an unfortunate historical fact for some. But. So TSA, that's a problem. You know, my wife and I were discussing something over the last few days that may or may not have involved a plane trip for her, and she's like, I'm not flying. Not a chance. And I'm like, yeah, I don't blame you. I wouldn't either. I mean, I just, no. Uh-uh.

CBS News exposing the massive California hospice fraud. Let me say that again. There are two stories in that headline. Do you pick it up? I bet you picked up the second one, but I bet you missed the first one. The second story is California hospice fraud. It's massive. The first story, though, is who uncovered it. CBS News. Are we seeing a realigning in the mainstream media? The change at CBS News, I told you, was going to happen. I told you. I've told you accurately to be leery of the reporting from Fox. Just be leery. Because they went through a period of time during COVID and in the wake of it, when Rupert Murdoch stepped down, they went through this period when the Sons, one in particular, was running Fox News of getting real lefty with their reporting. It's moderated back a little bit. The hosts absolutely lean right. No doubt about it. But the news reporting, I don't want news reporting that's right or left. I want news reporting that's objective. Just give me the news. And let the host talk about it. That's fine. That's where the opinion comes in. But CBS News, when they hired Bari Weiss formerly with the New York Times, she left the Times because, journalistically, she could not abide by their lack of objectivity anymore. And she's a lefty. But she has credibility because of it. Because she said, no, I have my personal views, but that shouldn't filter the news. And so she went into CBS News, hired to run the news department. They hate her for it. And she's making changes. And here's the thing. You're getting results already. It's been just, what, half a year? And again, they hate her for it, 41 minutes after the hour. I know, hates us strong. They hate her for it. You get to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

I don't know if it's raining where you are listening to us right now. But come on. Come on. Slow it down. Slow it down. Statistically, it's been proven. Wet tires on wet roads don't stop as quickly. And there's this phenomenon when waters on the roads at a high enough volume that is offset by the lack of weight on your vehicle called hydroplaining. People, slow it down. Take it down a notch. And memo to the young female drivers. Back off. I feel better because girls, you're awful. You're awful drivers, most of you. You're awful. Awful. Awful. You cozy up to the wrong bumper. It's not going to be me. I'm just saying you cozy up to the wrong bumper, you're going to get break checked. And because you're sitting there preening in front of the camera, taking a selfie, looking at your besties little posts, you're going to smack into the rear end of the car in front of you, the truck in front of you, and it's going to be very bad for you. Parents, I will tell you now. And you can disregard this all you like. I will tell you now, the overwhelming majority of teenage drivers are awful. Not because of an experience, but because they're just awful. They've been turned over with keys to daddy's car, mama's car, to the vehicle way too soon. They're not ready. They're too busy trying to impress their friends at lunchtime. I watch it happen all over the place. And it's enough of them to convince me the likelihood is that your child's one of the bad drivers. So I would accept that, and I would put some apps on their vehicle on their phone that allow you to monitor their speeds. And you'll see. You'll see what happens at lunch hour. You'll see what happens when they leave at the end of the day. You'll see. And you know what the speed limits are and the roads in and around. And all you have to do is say, don't do it or you'll lose your driving privileges. Anyway, sorry. One of our research assistants shared this story with me. And I'm not going to share it right now because I stood on a platform for just a few minutes there and had to give a speech. I'll save it for tomorrow's show. We do have a great ending, though. Great story coming up next.

This from Not the Beat. And now, if you look up this story, you're going to see a lot of different versions of it. You know, everyone knows it has been a rough time for the Iranian regime. But apparently, at one memorial to the former Ayatollah, They rolled out a cardboard cutout of the new Ayatollah. And the photo went viral, and it has led to all kinds of hilarities. The son of the former Ayatollah is now the new Ayatola. And there have been reports and rumors floating around that the Israelis already got him. I don't know. But it did add some interesting fodder to the idea of the cardboard cutout. You know, some jokes about, well, we knew Israel was going to flatten the guy, but we didn't know it was going to come out like this.

And then others said, well, it turned the Babylon B into a prophetic outlet once again because it said, well, just go ahead and elect dead people to be the next Ayatollah and save yourself some time. Remember that joke? We shared that headline. Anyway, it's, it's, there appears to be some truth to the idea that someone rolled out. a photo of the dude's head on top of just a good old fashioned out of cardboard boxes body. And, yeah. Brought to you by Barano Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show 180 on WFLA. Start of the radio program. Romans 10 versus 14 through 17. That's where we started the radio program. Covered a lot of ground. Steve Stewart joined us. Dr. David Hartz talked about video games and how you can tell if you're addicted. And it's really not that different from determining addiction to anything else. And given that, a lot of you probably play video games, determining the level of addiction might be worth your while. Can you put it down for a week? Not missing. Two weeks. There's a studied reaction in the brain, the dopamine that's cut loose, that happens with video games. and can over time, like all addictions, cause you to seek more and more video games, which seeks and then feeds the addiction, which then in turn reduces the amount of dopamine that's produced by the brain, which could impact a lot of other areas in your life, especially if you're married, you know what I'm saying?
