Colossians 3, verse 17 says, in whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. That is called gratefulness. Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord. Jesus. That's really the point of that song. That was Mercy Me and a song called Overflowing from a new album of theirs called Wonder and Aw. That is the perspective that I've challenged you to just devote a day, then devote two and three and four. to a place of filtering everything through that gratefulness and watch it change your life. It will. It just will. It's so easy to get inward focused. Woe is me ismism. And when you redirect that, all of a sudden, your burdens begin to lift. It doesn't matter what you're going through. It just is going to burden you and weigh you down. And God says he's going to take that burden from you if you'll let it go. You've got to let it go. move through the, everything through the filter and the lens of gratefulness. Jesus, grace. Good stuff. All right, it's Friday, huh? Yeah. Let's crack open the American Patriots Almanac next here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Yeah, I traveled with a radio taped to my bike. This is the morning show with Preston Scott. is program 5552. He is Jose. I'm pressing. I'm not sure I probably could figure it out pretty easily, but next month, which starts on Monday. Sorry, Sunday. Next month starts Sunday. In fact, lead research assistant sent this to me. Get this. As of tomorrow, you will have experienced something incredible. So remarkably rare. This particular February, it is the only time that it happens every 823 years. Four Mondays. Four Tuesdays, four Wednesdays, four Thursdays, four Fridays, four Saturdays, and four Sundays in the month of February. Look at your calendar. It's crazy. Only time it happens every 823 years. How about that?

Because the month started on a Sunday, February 1st, and it ends on a Saturday, tomorrow, February 28th. Exactly. That's why you listen to this show. The lead research assistant pulled that one out. Sent that to me yesterday late in the day. It is the 27th of February 1827. Revelers dance through the streets of New Orleans, mark in the beginning of the city's Mardi Grouse celebration. Mobile, though, started it in 1703, which is good because New Orleans is a cesspool now. It just is. I mean, I feel bad. They built the city below sea level, so what are you thinking? But it's just trash. And it's a shame. 1860, New York City, Abraham Lincoln gives his Cooper Union speech, which helps him gain national recognition as an opponent of the spread of slavery. 1951, 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms is ratified. In 1991, George H.W. Bush announces the end of the Persian Gulf War, a victory against Iraq and Saddam Hussein. But we had to revisit that, didn't we? Yes, we did. What else do we have? We have National Skip the Straw Day. No, no. Drinking certain things without a straw stains your teeth. I'm just saying. Drink a bunch of caffeinated stuff, a bunch. Without a straw, you stain your teeth. Just do. A Pokemon Day. It's Pokemon Day. National Anasmia Day. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. It's the loss of smell. It's awareness, a condition that causes the loss of smell. It's smell is taken for granted, and it has so much to do with your ability to enjoy food. No, really. It's massively important. National Retro Day. Oh, far out. And National Polar Bear Day, which makes me think of a Coca-Cola. It just does. Have a Coke and a smile. 16 pass. We have a loaded show today, including your calls in the final hour for What's the Beat?

Yeah. I want to scream right now. Lead research assistant of the morning show sent me a clip of a Karen. And I am. I am. I am. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I will play it for you not today. It's Friday. I can't do it to you today. I can't. I know we don't want everyone to think alike. But boy. There are some thought processes out there. Yeah. All right. Deep breath. No, really. I wrote back to the lead research assistant. I, period, want, period, two, period. Scream! Uppercase, exclamation, point, exclamation, point, explain,

This is amazing. I've talked about my Roomba vacuum, which I think is awesome because we can just turn it loose and we can do other things while it takes care of most of the vacuuming. There might be a little corner or something. I get that. But the room is incredible. Love it. What I didn't know is DJI makes a vacuum like that. Don't do it. Don't buy it. Don't buy it. Their drones are on a list now of, this is a problem because they're made in China. Now, I didn't realize that when, well, never mind. It was years ago, let's just say. A guy, this is from popular mechanics. Sorry, popular science. Software engineer wanted to steer his DJI robotic vacuum with a video game controller. He's a software engineer. It's what guys like that do. Hey, you know, he's playing like Call of Duty or something. And he's like, ooh, I wonder if. And so he starts working on his own remote control app so that he can tie into the DJI vacuum. And he used an AI coding assistant to help him reverse engineer how the robot communicated with DJI's cloud servers. By doing so. He gained live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from thousands of other DJI vacuums. He didn't exploit it. He shared his findings with The Verge, which then contacted DJI. Just listen now. DJI tells popular science the issue has been resolved. The dramatic episode underscores warnings from cybersecurity experts who have long warned that internet-connected robots and other smart home devices present attractive targets for hackers. So he's suddenly controlling, if he wanted to, 7,000 robots. Here's the point. The concern is tied to China using baby crib monitors and so forth. You remember that story? We talked about it. There's backdoors where the data of inside homes is being gathered, and the Chinese are using it. They're evaluating what you and I do through these data ports. And so you can bet they fixed it. But what they didn't likely do is fix the uploading of all this intel on the layout of your home and so forth to the chikoms. So I thought that was a story worth sharing. 27 minutes past the hour. Let's do the big stories in the press box right after news, weather, and traffic here in the morning show with Preston Scott.

I'm just... We... We... Knock, knock, knock. Who's there? On WFLA. Friday on the morning show. Always an interesting program because of just there's it's like a tsunami of information that just builds and builds and builds through the week. And then on Friday it's kind of, it comes ashore and washes back out and we get ready for a whole new week of it. But I don't know. Friday just has a unique feel to it. You can always expect something to dump out late in the day on Friday. The Friday dump is a practice in the world of politics, governance. Things get announced late on a Friday so it dies on the weekend. It is a very intentional thing. So you kind of pay attention to that. I will find myself paying attention to Friday afternoons. or wake up Saturday and just kind of run into my office and take a look at what's going on because of the Friday dump. It has been a practice in news decades. You know, they figured it out. And more so now than before. Because there used to be. news gathering operations 24-7 and you had newspapers printing the things that were happening over the weekend. You had a good Saturday paper and you had the Sunday paper that was huge. Remember those days of the big fat Sunday paper? Not anymore. It's a joke. I mean, you don't even get ball scores on Sunday from Saturday. It's insane. Anyway, this from the Daily Mail, and this goes to a story that we've talked about, and I will find a way to dig into this. It's too important. Declassified CIA files revealing the blueprint to manipulate American minds through covert drugging with vaccines.

And these are CIA documents from a project called Special Research for Artichoke. It was Project Artichoke. Project Artichoke preceded MK Ultra. And we talked about MK Ultra a little bit. Project Artichoke, I've read these documents yesterday. They're slightly redacted, leaving out some names. But the CIA was actively working, and this was the result of what was going on in World War II in Japan. The short version is the guy behind the Japanese torture of Chinese citizens and those maybe in the Philippines that they captured, maybe some Vietnamese, they did experiments on them with all of this stuff. And the guy who headed up the program never faced war crime trials. Everybody else in the program did. This guy didn't. You know why? We hired him. We hired the Japanese head of all of these weird experiments, work with LSD and so forth. The names of people that came in through this program is a who's who of bad guys. And I don't have time to unpack it all right now, but researchers suggested that substances could be disguised in medical treatments such as vaccinations or injections. And artichoke was the precursor to MK Ultra. And... It's a huge story. This stuff was declassified in 83. It came before Congress and was eliminated and stopped, allegedly, in the 1970s. But you can see why there are people out there that get a little nervous about this whole COVID injection stuff. And why you had guys like Dr. Robert Malone talking about mass. uh delusions you know mass formation um delusion that was going on where where people were being convinced and conditioned to accept this shot fear was used i didn't mean to take the whole segment up there i will be more disciplined next hour but i have two other big stories it's uh 40 minutes past

Subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're here to make it all better. There you go. Yes, it's okay. Yes. This is The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's got a email from a listener on the dangers of Islam, a compilation of different things. It's like, yeah? Tell me something I don't know. No, I mean, I'm one of the few out there that have spent some time in the Quran. I can read. I know what it says. Anyway, let me get to the other big stories here. I just, I feel the need. Guy named Gerald Eddie Brown Jr., call sign runner, taken into custody in Indiana, charged with providing and conspiring to provide defense services to the Chinese military. He was training pilots without authorization, including this guy once trained American service members in advanced combat aircraft, including the F-35, our top-of-the-line fighter now. Our next generation fighter. This guy was working for the chikoms. Hey everybody, Lady Luck here, and we're celebrating America's 250th birthday. Now, all summer long, I'm going to be celebrating by playing on SpinQuest.com, which is an American-owned social casino.

Peter Schweitzer, please, in the name of God, listen to that interview. Mexican polls, politicians. believe that they're going to take our country back. And that's why they're allowing the invasion from the South. China has used dual citizenship and birthright citizenship as a way of infiltrating. They now have a million people. that will be eligible to vote in our elections soon. They're being educated in China. They were born here, brought back to the CCP, and they're being educated there, and they will vote in our elections. You think a million votes will matter? Last big story in the press box is the focus of my commentary. 18-year-old guy from Pennsylvania, sick pervert.

Matthew Edward Pyshire arrested on federal charges. He groomed a 13-year-old girl over a period of three months to engage in some sexual self-mutilation-related, I mean, sick, twisted stuff. There are groups of people that are online. that are into this, self-mutilation as a form of sexual arousal. Friends, he traveled across the country and convinced this girl to meet him at a hotel where he will stop there and cut her multiple times. Online. Met, conditioned, groomed, facilitated, all of this online. It's called nihilistic violent extremism, NVEE. There are online gore groups. One of them is a group he was part of, 764 or 764. Whatever. I don't know what the significance is of the number. But here's the thing, moms and dads, wake up about what your kids are doing online. Girls are most vulnerable, but boys too. These groups look for, pray on. Teens and tweens.

All right, we come back. I'm going to make at least one listener upset with me. Guide to what you're talking about. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. 51 minutes past the hour. Friday in the morning show, Lee Williams, the gun rider in just a few minutes. I will, I messed up yesterday. I was all set to give you the real state of the union. I had people emailing me saying, I can't wait to hear what this is. And it's just somebody that articulated what I've been saying for years. succinctly and very well who's got an economics expertise in their background. I don't. I'm just a dude with a calculator. That's the extent of my mathematics expertise. And then I was all set up. Okay, coming up next, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I was like, uh-oh. The chief financial officer for the state of Florida is on the phone.

messed up. Then yesterday on the program, I called myself Jose. I mean, it was just House of Cards. House of Cards yesterday. Now, I said it was going to make somebody mad with me today at this segment of the program. And it's a friend and acquaintance, a friend of the show, sends me stuff all the time, happens to work for the Postal Service. I'm sorry, but the Supreme Court is wrong. The Supreme Court has decided on a 5-4 ruling with an incredibly unique split that Americans cannot sue the United States Postal Service. It involves a case in Texas, a landlord who is a real estate agent and an insurance agent, claims two employees at her local post office deliberately held back mail belonging to her and her tenants. Because she's black and she rents to white people. And apparently somebody's upset about that. And she's been able to pretty well document it. The issue isn't that. The issue is that even though it was intentionally done, Clarence Thomas writing for the majority. And I mean. He said federal law shields postal service from lawsuits over missing lost, undelivered mail, including the intentional non-delivery of mail. I'm sorry. That's wrong. The idea being that it's the postal service, not a right. Yeah, but see, we're paying for that service. This is to me no different. And how often have we said, well, the U.S. Postal Service or have been told the U.S. Postal Service is not part of the federal government. It's a separate branch. It's a separate thing. Here's the bottom line. I'm paying for that service. I accept that mistakes happen. Accidents happen. What I don't accept is intentionally. That I do not accept. They're taking money to provide a service. What separates them from UPS? FedEx or anybody else that would, and in fact, you could argue the USPS when it comes to delivered mail has a monopoly. No, this is a very wrong ruling. This, this. This green lights these actions to now be multiplied and mail not to be delivered to somebody somebody doesn't like. Somebody sorting mail somewhere sees the name of somebody they don't like. So they just keep their mail. What? It's intentional. That's not actionable?

Now, I'm with Neil Gorsuch. I'm with Sonia Sotomayor on this. Uh-uh. Nope. Postal service should be sued because it's collecting money. They're being paid for a job. And if they intentionally are not doing that job, how can anyone argue they should be shielded from that? accidental, I have no problem with Shield there. Intentional, that is, I have a huge problem with that. And you know what it's going to do? It's going to drive me more away from the Postal Service, which I've largely gone away from in general. So, sorry to my friend. Oh, good morning, Ruminators. Wherever you are listening to us from, however you are listening to us, we appreciate it. Thanks so much. What's going on, everyone? It's Bluff here, and we're driving through the States in the BluffMobile, and the best thing that we can do is play our favorite casino-style games on SpinQuest.

I am Preston, and this is The Gun Rider. Gunwriter is Lee Williams. You can find his work at thegunwriter.substack.com. Lee, how are you, sir? Good, man. How are you doing? I'm doing well. I will admit, I'm probably not nearly as frustrated as you are because you've invested so much time and have tried so hard to help Tate Adamiak. Before we get an update, let's backtrack for any new listener. Give us the 60-second overview of Tate's story. Sure, Tate, it was an active-duty sailor who had been accepted to go to and attend SEAL school. However, before he could go, the ATF hit his house. Tate had a hobby of selling gun parts. He never sold firearms, and they kicked down his door, they ripped open his safes, and they found nothing. illegal. Rather than let him go and say, have a good seal school, they manufactured illegal items. They turned a toy gun he had into it and called it a machine gun. They brought in this cat that just really rammed him, and he got a 20-year sentence, and he is just starting the third year of his 20-year sentence behind bars. He's up at a federal prison, a horrible federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey. And when you say manufactured evidence, that is a literal statement.

That is. They took RPGs that he had, which were completely legal. They've been stripped of their parts. One was a training RPG. You never had any parts in it. And they put in a basically a rifle, a barrel and an action. They fired a 7662 round. They said, oh, it's a grenade launcher. Well, it's not. They worked on it with their parts. I mean, the ATF has enough RPG parts. They could make 10 active RPGs. It's disgusting. It was terrible. Now we've got a new ATF, okay? We've got no longer have the Biden ATF. We've got a new ATF. They have stopped this kind of crap. But meanwhile, Tate remains behind bars. You wrote an update just a few days ago, well, about 10 days ago, Lee. Where are things right now in appeals and resentencing? Because they dropped some charges, but they didn't find that there was anything grossly incorrect in that first trial. It's not the ATL's fault. It's a DOJ's fault from what I'm understanding. I think the deal, I mean, if you're the ATF, the new ATF head, and you've got this cat in prison for 20 years, and you look at the charges, you know damn well, he did nothing wrong. I mean, he was charged for possessing a $75 toy. Things like that, you know, they charge them for the fake RPGs, which were not real. They charged them for four machine guns because he had four highly sought after pre-banned open-bolt, semi-o pistols, and carbines. And they tried to charge him with 977 machine guns for pieces of metal, which are known as Mack Flats. Fortunately, they got a former ATF official, Daniel Gio Kelly, who testified that these charges were crazy. And they dropped the 977 machine gun charges against this poor kid. But in the meantime, he's sitting there in prison. I think the new head of ATF, I don't know him. I've spoken to him. I really hope that he can overcome the zeal. at the DOJ that wants to keep Tate behind bars. He did nothing wrong, brother. Lee, I took your latest article on Tate, and I sent it off yesterday to the staff of U.S. Senator Rick Scott first. He's a Navy guy. But he promised. He promised he would do what he could to help. He did. And I'm trying to nudge past the policy people and say, would you please put this in front of Senator Scott? He promised to help. So we'll see what comes of that. Who, if anybody, is trying to do some heavy lifting? Because I've been told all along, well, you know, if you want to get it in front of the president, you've got to pay some high-price lobbyists. Yeah. There are some folks, and I can't go into that now that are working really hard. But Tate's got to get out. I mean, he's starting his third year.

Every time I talk to him, I'm mystified by how plight and how nice he is. I mean, his mother died shortly after he was arrested, and he, I mean, think about that. I hope President Trump can learn of this, because he's pardoning people that have committed actual crimes. He never committed a crime. Not one, and he's still behind bars. He's looking at 17 more years. Is there any chance at the resentencing that they drop the thing and let him out? Depends on how the DOJ responds right now from what I'm being told by our sources, the DOJ is hung up on the RPG charge. Well, he had a rocket propelled grenade launcher. Okay, no, he didn't. He had something that he bought at a fair in California. That's not capable of firing any rockets. And besides, California? Yeah, go get me some RPG rockets. Go buy some for me. You can't. And you can buy a much more thorough RPG online right now with money and no idea or nothing. So it seems like the DOJ is the big issue right now. They're hung up on, well, you know, this could look bad. Yeah, it should look bad. You've got an innocent man who's already served three years of his life, lost out and attending buds seal school. This is bad. It should be bad. And this should never happen again. Are any media outlets dealing with this story at all? Yeah, there are a few. They're all pro-gun, okay? They're all pro-gun. My friend Mark Walters on his Armed American Radio show, we talk about Take Quite a Bit. But no. Other than that, no. So it sucks. I wish we had the, I wish we had the traditional media on board because here you got a kid who's completely innocent, who's looking at serving 17 more years. Unfortunately, in their eyes, oh my gosh, he had guns. Yeah, he did. And he had a great collection and offered great services. And he never sold an actual firearm. Do you believe that? You and I are brainstorming here right now on the radio. You know who ought to be, you know how to try is CBS News because Bari Weiss is now in charge at CBS and she is forcing them on 60 minutes and other outlets to objectively cover stories. This would fit what she's looking to do. It would. I hope they get interested in it. We've had a couple of spurts here and there. But, you know, at the end of the day, the mainstream media is not going to try and get a guy out of prison who possessed firearms. That's the problem. I remember the days when 60 Minutes used to be a reputable outlet that would investigate things like this and would actually play a role in getting someone like this released.

Speaking of the media, you've done a story on USA Today. Tell us about it. USA Today is crazy. I mean, if you look at their circulation, let's just take a second. They were up to over a million subscribers. Now I don't know what they have, maybe six. Anyway, in a story they published Monday, the reporter, CA Bridges, said, and I quote, I mean, he said that there have been six mass shootings in Florida this year. Mass shootings. Well, I live in Florida. I don't know. One. But then he admitted that he got his numbers from the gun violence archive, which I've written dozens and dozens of the story about how bad the GVA data is. So this cat actually wrote in his story, and he wrote this in the story, the GVA numbers, which have been disputed by pro-firearm organizations, I guess that's me, may differ from the FBI or CDC as they collect data from blah, blah, blah. To be clear, man, I debunked these guys dozens of times. It's fake mass shooting data. I've interviewed their co-founder and executive director, Mark Bryant, and he was at one time he was thinking about stopping the mass shooting numbers, but he got so many phone calls, he had to keep him up there. And I quote him from our 2021 interview. If the numbers are misleading, the journalist didn't do their homework. You could make that argument. He said during the interview, the media zeroes in on it, not us. But he's the one turning out all the fake data. Their standard is four people are shot. If four people are shot, and I'm not even saying killed, if four people are shot, it's a mass shooting. So you look at these mass shootings in Florida. They're all in Jacksonville. They all involve gang members. They're not mass shootings. They're gang violence. Lee, James Uthmeier, we were talking about the Attorney General for the state of Florida. You are a Florida resident. He's been making a lot of news. But as it relates to the Second Amendment and doing the right thing by people that have got a bit of a record, he's really doing the right thing. Yeah, I mean, we've got an attorney general who's defending gun rights. That right there is huge news. Stop, you know, exclamation point. It's huge, and he's under fire for some of it.

I love the guy. I've never met him. I don't know. We've never spoken. But right now, he's defending the rights of 18, 19, and 20-year-olds who want to carry concealed firearms. I mean, this guy is so with it. It's almost funny. Compare him to any of our previous AGs, and there's no comparison. None. I mean, he's making law. He's citing. He's creating laws the good way. The fact that we can have open carry right now, we can thank him for that, too, in Florida. I mean, the current issue is an 87 state law, which bars 18, 19, 20-year-olds from carrying a concealed gun. He opposes that and is taking steps to address that. I contacted his office not too long ago, and I got a nice statement from him. We have the duty to enforce Florida on. Don't make these decisions lightly. He said, however, our first duty is to protect God-given rights of Floridians as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. You had a state prosecutor talking about the U.S. Constitution. Brother, that doesn't happen often. You know what I mean? The case centers around a guy from Pennsylvania, right? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he came down here. He got arrested. And he was charged because he was a felon in possession. That's a different case, but he's a felon in possession. And James Uthmeier said, no, no, we're not going to charge him. We're not going to charge him. So right now, you've got the 18, 19, 20-year-olds. And then you have the felons in possession, who if you have a non-violent felony, he believes you have a right to carry and be around guns. And I totally agree with him. And that's the key, a non-violent felony charge. And this guy's charge was, what, 2007 in Pennsylvania? Yeah, it was a gun charge. It's just stupid. But meanwhile, I think he could make some national news. I think Florida should be the state where we have two types of felonies, those that bar you from having firearms. I mean, I'm talking like aggravated assault, attempted murder, things like that. Of course. Most of the felonies are nonviolent. I mean, they involve taxes or checks or whatever. So I think... I think they should retain their gun rights. And I think he's really making a hell of a good move. I mean, it all involves Florida state law 790.23. You should read his response that he issued to this kid's appeal, this man, this prior felon. On studied reflection, the AG has concluded that the conviction does not indeed infringe on Morgan's rights as a dangerous felon to keep in bear. It does indeed infringe on Morgan's rights as a dangerous felon to keep in bear arms. The state must therefore confess error and urge this court to reverse. I mean, that's coming from the AG. I tell you, I've yet to see a politician make such big, bold, pro-gun steps. But the court at this point is ignoring that request.

Well, I don't know. I think you ignore the AG and there's some danger to do it. Yeah. Okay. Lee, we're going to follow this as well as obviously we're going to keep looking at the case of Tate Adamiak and hopefully we'll be getting better news in the time to come. Just real quickly though, when's Tate's next date that matters? Well, it's June, but that's probably going to get pushed. Okay. So, yeah. We'll see if we can stir some things up. Yep. Thank you so much. I appreciate all you're doing. Thank you, sir. Take care. Morning Joe with Preston Scott. Go ahead. Make my day. On News Radio 100.7, WFLA. Happy birthday, America.

You know, the danger's not going away. It's getting more sophisticated and it's getting worse, if anything. We're already seeing how COVID put on steroids. Sorry for the use of term. The LGBTQ nonsense. And. We're now just slowly seeing the pendulum swinging back, but the extremists in the LGBTQ movement are now disproportionately the most violent subculture in this country. And I mean, by a massive margin, the violent murders they're committing. I don't know if you saw the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting. Another victim died. The dude's dad. now died. I don't want to get sidetracked on that. I want to circle back to the grooming grounds online. Now, what I don't know in this story is I have not seen a story that releases the online platform that was used. But an 18-year-old man... who is like the ultimate dweeb, groomed a 13-year-old girl. He's in Pennsylvania. She's in California. But to show you how insatiable this sick, twisted perversion is, not only do these people know there is a chance of getting caught that's, you know, it's out there. Sheriff departments, feds monitoring these things, posing as young people. You remember the television show? Was it to catch the predator or whatever? I think it still runs. NBC, they set up a house where these people are showing up to what they think is to have sex with a child and waiting for them as a television TV crew and police are outside. They risk it. Why? Because the desire is that strong. This guy not only risked it, traveled to California to meet a 13-year-old girl. He talked her to meet him in a hotel. And what made this different is this guy is part of a nihilistic violent extremist group. 964. It's an online gore group. that hates society and promotes self-harm, sexual exploitation, and violence among children. He had already gotten this girl to send him photos that were inappropriate and photos of self-harm. What did he do? He caught it. He managed to, he traveled the country, Pennsylvania to California. That's about as east to west as you can go. Got her to meet him in a hotel. And then he took great advantage of her and, oh, by the way, cut her. And it brought him pleasure. Now, he's been arrested and he's charged with federal crimes. But here's the point. Parents wake the crap up.

Put guidelines on phones, put guidelines on laptops, put guidelines on tablets, know every password, know everything that's going on on there. You walk into the room and the laptop shuts, you have a problem. You walk into the room and they're facing you at all times and it will never let you see the screen. You have a problem. If they protest this, you have a problem. And that's why I encourage you to start these types of, it's not helicopter parenting. It's being responsible. Start when their children, knowing everything that they're doing, who they're with, who their friends are with, the parents of their friends, know them. Trust your discernment. If your kid gets used to you knowing their business, it will not seem out of place when they're tweens and teens, and you really need to know their business. That is a big story in the press box this morning here on the morning show with Preston Scott. When we come back, the real state of the union.

The Preston Show with Morning Scott. What? I came across a piece written by a guy named Ted Jenkins. It's an opinion piece. Ted is the president of Exit Stage Left Advisors and a partner at Exit Wealth. His world is finance, investing. And much of what he writes, though not every single thing, has been expressed on this show multiple times over the years. He said Republicans promise growth will outrun the debt. Well, that's not entirely accurate, but many do believe that. Democrats promise taxes on the rich will fix it. And the U.S. debt clock keeps spinning like a Vegas slot machine that only pays out in red ink. As of 2026, the United States owes roughly $38.5 trillion, and it's climbing at a rate of $8 billion a day. The net interest payments on the debt officially exceed our annual defense budget. We're not arguing politics anymore. We're arguing arithmetic. To be fair, Trump's economic philosophy has been consistent since he started campaigning. Extend tax cuts, no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security, add tariff revenue, which of course now is going to be limited, at least for now. shrink the bureaucracy, etc. The real problem isn't taxes or tariffs. Here is the 60-second explanation. It's interest. Lots and lots of interest. Interest on the debt alone is projected to exceed $1 trillion this year. That is now roughly 14% of federal spending. That's before we fund defense, Social Security, Medicare, infrastructure, our vets. That's interest that has to be paid on the front end. Last fiscal year, government spent $7.01 trillion. The government collected $5.23 trillion. That is an annual deficit of $1.78 trillion.

He argues you'd have to raise taxes by 35%, by 35%, and remember almost half the people in America don't pay federal taxes whatsoever, cut benefits massively, which means one of the big three, Medicare, Social Security, or defense, or grow the economy at wartime levels for a decade. He asked, do any of those sound realistic to you? The real state of the Union? This is where he writes, the federal debt isn't going to be eliminated. It will be inflated away, written off, monetized, or slowly eroded by negative real interest rates because mathematically a $38.5 trillion balance sheet cannot be balanced off. Incremental policy tweaks. The U.S. does not default on loans. It dilutes them. Presidents don't control deficit anymore. Trump can change tax policy already did. Congress can try to change spending, but they don't agree. Reality is reality. At this point, it's like turning the Queen Elizabeth in a bathtub, meaning the ship. Unless America changes expectations or sacrifices are made on both sides of the aisle, the debt clock keeps running no matter whose name is on the Oval Office door. Debate in Washington is ideological. The risk to all of us is standing to wear the crown of being the world's currency. The national debt.

No one is being real about it. Trump isn't being real. Congress isn't dealing with it. It's up to us. Constitutional Convention of States. Force it. Have to. We have to. Where I disagree with his analysis is that it can't be done. I believe it can be done. It will take years and a U.S. Constitution that demands it. Otherwise, you'll have people come into office that change everything around. See, it doesn't matter who's elected in Florida. They have to have a balanced budget. It's a state constitutional requirement. They have no choice. And that's where we have to get to. 47 past the hour. Come back, get you ready for what's to be Friday. You're formulating your thoughts? Show with Preston Scott. You're mocking me, aren't you? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. On News Radio 100.7, WFLA. Word. All right. The President's State of the Union speech was Tuesday. Okay. This. was videotaped Monday on a college campus. College kids are telling us Trump's State of the Union didn't go so well. The only problem? It's tomorrow. Rate Trump, State Union speech one out of ten. One's the worst. Ten's the best. Negatives. And why? I think we all know. What about the State of the Union last night? One to ten. It was like a one or two. I mean, it was not a level of the place. I'm gonna give it a one. And why do you say one? Um, I just, I don't think he's very articulate. How did Trump do it the State of the Union? Zero. Uh, I don't be really, I didn't know what I said it. Like, yeah, I didn't really watch it much. I watched it for a little bit, but, you know. The State of the Union last night. How, how was that one to ten? most tomorrow. No, you're good. You passed it's us. Good job. One person. One person. Now, obviously, this was edited into a short little clip, but you heard. One after another after, give me zero. He's not very tick. I think we know the reasons. You clowns, you claimed you watched it and you lied. A bunch of little liars. bunch of smug elitist liars what what what was what's wrong with saying uh i didn't i didn't even know there was a state of the union speech last night even if you don't know which is entirely possible for a young person not to know that there was a state of the union speech i i'm 100% no problem with that not on the radar of a bunch of people that's fine Sometimes you have to forget or you have to remember. If you're listening to this show, you're in a different world. You are just in a totally different place. Your level of awareness of things is so next level, not to say elite. It's just different. And so I don't blame anybody for saying, I don't know what you're talking about. State of the Union.

But every single person that gave him a two or a zero or a nut, they lied. They didn't watch him because he wasn't on. One person. I thought it was last night. I thought it was tomorrow night. Yes, you win. You're right. Isn't that crazy? But isn't it completely predictable? This is symptomatic of another problem. We have a couple of at least two generations. They don't have, they don't know how to be real. They claim that, oh, they're just being real. You're being real. You're not being real. You're a bunch of liars. What was wrong with saying, I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't watch Trump say anything last night. Just, I mean, you could say, I don't like the guy, but I didn't know he gave us talk last night. I wasn't, I didn't watch anything. Right? That's an honest answer. A bunch of them just lied. All right, it's What's the Beef Friday, 850-205 WFLA. Call now. Don't you make me beg. It'll hurt my heart. 850-205-9352. What's the Beef next on the morning show with Preston Scott.

And for those of you new to the radio program on Friday, we set aside one half hour of radio for you to complain about whatever you want. We have a couple guidelines. Well, rules. No profanity. Don't make it personal. If you have a bad experience at a business, tell us. You'll feel better. Just don't name the business. Unless I ask you to. That could have happened. We also want you to make sure it's a beef, all right? We've had some people finally catch on to the idea that, no, this is about complaints. So if you have a good experience, complain that you don't have more of them. There you go. See, that's how you turn it into a beef. But the phone number is 850-205 WFLA, 850-205-93352. Tim, thanks for calling the radio program. What's the beef? Good morning. My beef, I think, is with you, Preston. Okay. Years ago, I hung some wind chimes in a tree outside my breakfast room window, and my wife and I during our meals would listen to the music when the wind blew. Well, you counted these windows on your show, and so I got them installed, and now I can't hear my wind chimes at all. The darn windows are so tight and heavy, and I think the hurricane proof. I cannot even hear the wind chimes. Crack those windows open. Well, that's another whole step that I'd have to get used to doing it. They do open very easily. I have to confess, but that's not my beef. My beef is they're too thick and silent for that. I love it. You've made my heart happy, Tim. Thanks so much. And that takes some work to make my heart happy during What's the Beef. Thank you very much for the phone call. See, that was brilliantly done. He was complimenting one of our longstanding clients. And there you go. Let's go to David. David, how are you? Hello? David, going once. David going twice. Man, I even pronounced your name right. That hurts the heart.

850-205 WFLA. Let's go to Robert. Hi, Robert. Thanks for calling into the morning show. What's the beef? My beef is the SAVE Act, but I want to say you were correct on the Convention of States. Can you turn your radio down because that's throwing you off here? Sorry. Convention of States is correct. You're right there. My beef today is instead of the judiciary. It's the SAVE Act with the senators playing dog and pony shows out there. Yep. And John Thune doesn't have the testicles to get rid of the filibuster like the Democrats would and get a vote with 51 votes on the SAVE Act that would actually preserve the republic. He's weak. Well, here's the interesting thing. Robert, thanks very much for the phone call. He doesn't need the nuke, the filibuster. He can get it passed without nuke and the filibuster. Let them have their say. Let them get it done. And they will run out of things to say. It will end. And then you just, you do it. He can find the votes. And I also think he can make the votes even better by putting the Democrats that are running for re-election this year in a corner by reminding them of the poll numbers on the Save Act. 83% of the country wants it. All right, we've got Carlos coming up. DeVeed, you bailed on me, brother. I hope you're okay. Hope nothing happened to you while you were on hold because that line was eerily quiet. Quick reminder, when you call, turn your radio down. Turn your radio down. You can listen to the show while you're on hold. But if you have the radio turned up, you are going to be screwed up six ways from Sunday when I put you on the air because we're on an 11 second delay. All right? So we've got room for three more callers. Carlos is next, but what about you? 850-205 WFLA. Come on, rally troops. It's the morning show with Preston Scott.

Weather, traffic, and the big stories in the press box. The fastest three hours in media. And don't be surprised if you have a chuckle here and there. Just like that. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. There we go. Let's get some lines ringing. We got one ringing. We got two left. 850-205 WFLA. 850-205-9352. And if you're listening online, take a shot, man. We've got space. Carlos, thanks for being patient. What's the beef? Hey, good morning, Preston. First-time caller. Well, my beef is with chemtrails, actually. That's something that I haven't really, I haven't heard politicians, you know, people in the news talk about much, but it's something that has, I believe, long-term effects. What do you think is up there? I don't know. It's, you know, from what they're saying, it's supposed to, I guess. block, I guess, certain harmful rays or something, but whatever they're spraying is falling on on the food, on water. And, you know, it can't have long-term repercussions that we might not know about. I'll be honest with you. When did, when did this come on your radar where you started to pay attention to it? How old were you? I will say around 2008, 2009. That's when I really started noticing, although they could have been up there, you know, way before. Sure. I really started noticing. Yeah, I'm probably later to the game than you are, Carlos. Thanks very much for the phone call. I want to know what they're spraying. I completely agree. I was one of those that was like, oh, come on. And now I'm like, oh, no, no, no. Now I'm, no, come on. Tell us what you're doing up there. I'm 100% with you. Is that Tammy online too? Is it Tammy? How are you? Fine things. How are you? I'm good. Tell me what, tell me your beef. I have an issue with the red light cameras that they took down a couple years back. I thought, well, you know, I didn't mind the red light cameras. I figured it kept everybody in check. But then they put up cameras at the school crossings. But we still have, I don't know, I think six or seven people run lights right next to me every single day. So I don't understand the difference between the two. Why are the cameras at the school zone's okay, but the cameras at the lights are not? Yeah. What are your feelings about them in general, though?

It infuriates me when people run red lights. I mean, every single day. I think Tallahassee has a huge problem with it. It infuriates me every single day. And I'll be sitting at the light and two or three people will go through the red next to me. I've been stopped for a minute. Yeah. They just have no care for it. There's no regard for other people on the road. And the cameras, I think, kept everybody in check. I get it. Some people didn't like it, but I don't see the difference. Yeah. I don't see the difference in the cameras at the school zones and cameras at the... Well, the cameras at the school zones is because of kids, their children, and that's the big difference. Pardon me? I'm absolutely for it. I'm absolutely for it. But the reason why I thought they took the cameras down in the city was because there were people lawsuits all over the place. No, it was because, well, it was because of slush funds. They were making so much money. They picked specific intersections, not the most dangerous intersections. They picked intersections that had the highest traffic volume to make money. And it was a bad look. That's really why those things came down. But thanks very much for your phone call. Let's squeeze in another call here before the break. Jeff, you're up. What's the beef? Good morning, Preston. My beef is with the obsession with people back in the parking spaces, especially in parking garages. It's great when there's nobody behind you. Right. But when they're like a line starts racking up, I don't know if it's because now we have backup cameras so people feel more confident, although they still can't seem to be able to do it. Right, right. Taking four or five attempts. And anyway, that's my beef. Thanks very much. I appreciate it. Yeah, I've... I agree with you. I think it's a circumstantial thing. I'm a back-in at all times unless I'm going to cause a backup. And then I don't do it. But for me, it's a lot of safety. Because when you back in... There's just a little bit greater likelihood of if somebody wants to do something nefarious, they have a greater opportunity if you have to back out of a parking spot versus pull straight out. But anyway, no, I hear you. A little courtesy goes a long way. All right, we've got Ken, Daryl, Mike. You're next on the morning show with Preston Scott.

This is it. Final segment of audio therapy for the week known as What's the Beef on the morning show with Preston Scott? Callers standing by. We begin with Ken. Good morning, Ken. What's the beef? Hey, Preston. My beef is with you. Okay. I want to know, after the week you had this week, how are you going to keep it up? The intellectual firepower of Peter Schweitzer on, and then you had the... Just flat-out, fascinating interview with Mike Wolfe. You can set me up for a letdown, my friend. Well... I have probably let people down for 5,552 shows. And so, you know, we just find those squirrels now and then or find those acorns now and then as the blind squirrel. And now, you know what? I'm glad you enjoyed the week. We work hard to do our best. But yeah, it could be a rough one next week, but I have a feeling it won't be. Yeah. You have a good one. Thanks, brother. I appreciate the call. That was such a kind way to beef. That really was. That was brilliantly delivered. Darrell, you're up. What's the beef? Hey, Preston. My beef is with North Florida water management. There is a plan to pipe Jacksonville wastewater over to the Swanee River Basin. Really? For area recharge.

What does that mean? A lot of residents. The treated wastewater from Jacksonville would be piped in a pipeline over to Swanee River Basin for aquifer recharge. What does recharge mean, though? What is that? What are they doing? Well, there is a, there's, you know, we're in a drought time right now, and the aquifer fluctuates. And right now it's in a low state. And the water management feels like we do need to have a solution for recharge, which is true. But I don't think that the sewer water would be a good match for that. It's not what I'd put in my drinking cup. Right. They say it's treated, but, you know, things fail all the time. We get inundated with... spill over from the Valdosta area with the sewage down the Swanee River and with Coochee a lot. So there's already that going on. And we just don't need, we don't need Jacksonville's poop water to be piped over to Swanee River. You have just horrified thousands of people and illuminated me, which I'm grateful for. Thank you, Daryl, for the phone call. We'll look into that. See what we can learn. Curtis, you're up. What's the beef? Well, good morning. Beefers, our totally inadequate education system. They're basically to a lot of people can graduate from school and know little about mathematics and nothing about finances or anything. And it leads them to they have no idea when people talk about inflation and where it comes from or how it's generated or anything. And so they'll believe anything. And this is true of so many millions of people across this country. In my mind, inflation is a tax on people, and it's levied when Congress spends the money, or the state legislature spends the money. And it's executed when the taxes are raised or fees are collected or whatever. and then you suffer the or not. The inflation is actually caused by not covering that expenditure. Curtis, I got a roll, buddy. I think the delay in the radio and not having the radio turn down is throwing you off, and I appreciate the economics lesson, but we're getting a little long here. But I thank you very much. Financial illiteracy is a huge problem. We're not teaching consumer math or critical thinking. Michael, you're the final caller. President, how you doing? Good. What's the beef? My beef is for the Democrats, especially the squad. And if you are not standing for Americans, then I think there should be a law that you should not serve in Congress if you are not protecting Americans. And for them complaining all the time, if you don't like this country, you can free it to go back to a third world country, you know? Export yourself. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Michael, thank you. I appreciate it. Your phone line's breaking up on us a little bit, but that works out because we're out of time. 27 minutes past the hour. It's the end of what's to be Friday. We come back, the best and worst of the week. Good news, dad joke, and some headlines from the B, so don't leave us.

I have had no luck lately. Wait, lady luck? Brett Ski, I got you. I've had so much luck on SpinQuest.com. They have all of my favorite games, slot games, live blackjack craps, and bubble craps. You can even get a $30 coin pack for just $10.00 for just $10 for 30. I'm headed over to SpinQuest.com right now. SpenQuest is a free-to-play social casino. Avoid where prohibited. Visit spendquest.com for more details. Oh, the fun doesn't stop here. Find more on his blog. WFLafm.com keyword Preston. Oh, what a great way. To move into the final half hour of the program where we lighten things up a little bit. Today, Jose and I share our best and worst of the week or two. You're up. Okay. So I'm going to start with the worst. Okay. And this was last week. I pretty much went the whole week. I'm not going to name any names. I'll keep them secret because they ended up fixing the problem. Okay. But I went the whole week trying to get a phone, a new phone, new service. And the whole week, it was just brutal. I spent two to three days in one single location. Pretty much my whole... President's Day weekend, gone. But in the same light, the good news is it got taken care of on the ninth day in five minutes. So. It took forever and then it got solved like that. They got solved like that. And you're thinking, why did I have to go through that for just, that's all you had to do? Yeah, I was going to say I learned some lessons. Okay. That won't be happening again. Okay. I mean, they're introducing the Galaxy 26. I have my Galaxy 9. That tells you all you need to know about phone changing for me. Right. Yeah. This is the first phone I've had in a long time. It's up to date. Yeah. And I'm talking a long time. Yeah. I guess that's good news too. Okay. What's your best? The best was the state of the union address. Okay. Specifically, Trump pointing out saying anybody who is four American citizens over illegals stand up and clap. And that was just brilliant, well executed. He proved a major point. Okay. That was your best of the week? Oh, yeah. My best of the week is just a clip that I came upon. And the audio was shaky at the very beginning, so I edited into it. And it's this recording of a story of why California is broke, and Texas is not. And it's the story of, and it's just a story. It's not a true story. It's just a story to illustrate the point. And we start with the California governor on a nature trail with his dog. Coyote jumps out, attacks the governor's dog, then bites the governor.

The governor starts to intervene but reflects upon the movie Bambi, then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural. He calls animal control. Animal control captures the coyote, bills the state $200 testing it for diseases, $500 for relocating it. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog, bills the state $200 testing it for diseases. The governor goes to the hospital, spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote, and then getting his bite wound bandaged. The running trail gets shut down for six months while fishing game conducts $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. The governor spends $50,000 estate funds implementing a coyote awareness program for residents of the area. State legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world. The governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training regarding the nature of coyotes. Peter protests the coyote's relocation files a $5 million suit against the state. Texas. The governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. The coyote jumps out of Texas dog. The governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol, keeps jogging.

The governor has spent 50 cents on a 45 caliber hollow point carcage. The buzzards eat the dead coyote. And that, my friends, is why California is broke. Texas is not. That's my best of the week. My worst of the week? I didn't get tickets to see the Savannah bananas. There at Doe Campbell tonight. They were at Hauser last night. They're a doke sellout. I hope the weather cooperates. Yeah, I was, as a seminal booster, I was putting the lottery. I didn't get picked. The heck's up with that. No, I'm happy for them. It is so good to see an entity birthed out of family entertainment become hugely successful across the country. They're filling out football stadiums, baseball stadiums, and they started out in Savannah. Georgia in a small little stadium. I think it's great. When we come back, really good news next on the morning show. Forget to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Charlie heard of Fox and Friends weekend, and he fills in during the week and his reports and all that stuff. Every time I glance at him, I see my brother, my late brother, Bill. Bill died when he was just 49, and Charlie resembles my brother in a lot of ways. And so it's a weird feeling to see somebody who resembles a loved one who's passed. It's a surreal kind of thing. But in any rate, next week on the program, Monday, Anastasios Kamutsis. Commissioner of Education will join us. Sal Nuzzo will take a look. Is anything getting any better? I don't think it is. I'm going to wait until the session ends, and then I'm going to have some thoughts on why these last two sessions have been so... What's the right word? ineffective inefficient generally speaking has been the two sessions have been lacking and I think there's a reason I think there's a common denominator and and we'll we'll impact that over the time but this time of the program we try to pack some good news into the show and I saw this story and I thought okay there you go the wealth of the wicked right Orange County Sheriff's Office has turned $90,000 seized from convicted drug dealers into obviously some training equipment, but by state law, that money has to find its way, at least a portion of it, has to find its way back into the community. So the sheriff's office bought an ice cream truck. I love it. They took money from seized drug dealers, bought an ice cream truck, had it wrapped. It says the Orange County Sheriff's Office ice cream. And they gave out free ice cream. They go into neighborhoods and they roll it out and give kids ice cream cones. First of all, it's taking that money and doing something good with it. But I think more important than that is creating positive interactions with young people and men and women who wear a uniform and a badge. I don't think you can place a price on that. And this story stood out to me because of the Karen that I'm going to share next week. Just one of those smug offals. You can hear it in the voice. That's an awful. And just harassing a sheriff deputy for no reason at all, just to be a jerk. And so when a sheriff's office just says, we're going to find ways to engage the community and create positive interactions to undo the damage done by Black Lives Matter, Clantifa,

And the offals? The affluent white female liberals? Boom. I'm all down with that. And that, my friends, is good news. All right. We like to tell a dad joke. kind of prepare you for the weekend of church, so here you go. What do mermaids use to wash their fins? Tide. I was going to say sea salt. Sea salt. Where did that come from? Sea salt? All right, it's time for some headlines from your, my, our trusted source for satire. Ladies and gentlemen, these are headlines courtesy of. The Babylon B.

I'll look back at the radio program in 180 seconds or less. We started the show with a tune for Mercy Me, Overflowing. Good song. Really fun version of it with them sitting around a fire pit and they screw it up in the middle and they just keep rolling tape and it's hilarious. They're funny guys. We've had some of the band on the show. Bart Miller's incredible vocalist. But anyway, that's what we started with. Our verse today was Colossians 3 verse 17, and the topic was gratefulness, which is really the theme of the song as well. Big stories in the press box. Parents know what your kids are doing online.

The CIA, the U.S. military was behind it. There's a much bigger, deeper story, and I will promise you, we will get into it. We absolutely will. I will make the time for this story. sometime this year. Americans can't sue the United States Postal Service even if mail is intentionally not delivered. That's a ruling by the United States Supreme Court. I think it's a terrible ruling. It's a very bad ruling. They should not be shielded from intentional acts. Why? We're paying for this service. We exchange funds in return for a service done in good faith. And when it's not, we should be able to sue them for it.
