So I'm now reconsidering my strategy. And maybe I need to put some of these protein bars out. Every day is a school day, Preston. Learn something new. Jared in for Jose, who is, I came, he called me this morning as I was walking out to my car to drive in. I'm not feeling very good. I'll spare you the gory details. He wasn't doing well. And so I wheel into the parking lot here and his doors open and he's just, ah, his seat, not doing well. So he called, made a call to Jared who is, uh, The team player. He is the MVP of IHeart Radio here. I was not walking out the door when he called me. No, you were not. I was deep in slumber. Yes, you were. The operative word there is, were deep in slumber. But Jared has jumped in and is filling in this morning, and so we thank him for that. We always started a little scripture, and yesterday, you may recall, we started in Ephesians 10. And we are in this because of one specific reality. We are in a spiritual fight for this nation. And it's being revealed in the spread of Islam. It is being revealed in some stories that we'll talk about later. And we talked about the whole armor of God because that's what Paul's writing on. But what I want you to remember is context. When Paul's writing this, he's in the Roman world. The Church of Ephesus is who this letter is written to. But Paul is seeing Roman soldiers everywhere. I mean, he was thrown in prison a few times, right? And the Roman armor was his inspiration. He's looking at Roman guards and he's seeing things. And we're going to get to one point tomorrow that's really pretty revolutionary and remarkably insightful and distinctive in the armor of God. But he starts to break it down now because he's pointed out we're not fighting against people. Yeah, it's sometimes manifest that way. But we're fighting a spiritual battle here.

against principalities and powers, against dark forces. Yeah, there is a Satan. There are demons. These things are real. If you believe in Jesus, you better darn well understand that there is a counterfeit out there and he opposes Christ and he opposes everything that Christ stands for. and taught and believed and not believed him but but in terms of what we believe in him and and so it goes on in verse 13 and says therefore take up the whole armor that you may be able to withstand the evil day having done all you having done all to stand firm So stand, therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. The belt of truth. Are you speaking truth? The breastplate of righteousness. You don't have any. You and I fall way short on that level. The Bible says it's as filthy rags. We get righteousness through our belief in Christ. Christ provides the righteousness to us. He is the one who gives us the ability to stand before God because we receive his forgiveness and the sacrifice he made on the cross. And then having on your feet put on readiness by the gospel of peace. Readiness. Peace comes. Readiness is an afterflow. Readiness is a symptom of peace. If you are at peace, which again, I think it flows out of our relationship with God, not everything being perfect because everything will never be perfect because we're humans. We fall short. But when you're at peace because you're in a good place with God, you then stand ready for whatever comes. Now remember, this is in the context of spiritual warfare, but I would advocate that this is in the context of everyday life. You want to be ready for whatever comes today? Stand in the peace that God offers you, and that only comes by spending time with him. Ten past the hour. Take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac and more as we begin the Wednesday edition show 5655, but who's counting? You're in the morning show with Preston Scott. Take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac. It's what we do. August the 12th. 1658, the first police force in the United States is established, oh, guess where? New Amsterdam, otherwise known as New York. If ever that was appropriate, the first police needed in this country were in New York City. Of course it was. 1833, Chicago Incorporated with a population of 350. And guess what? It's heading back that way.

Brandon Johnson remains mayor, J.B. Pritzker, the governor. Chicago will be back to 350 people sometime soon. They keep leaving. Thomas Edison invents the phonograph. More on that in a moment. In 1877, he patented six months later. 1898 piece protocol ending the Spanish-American War is signed. 1918 post office establishes the first U.S. regular airmail service between New York and Washington, D.C. And in 1960, the first experimental communications satellite Echo One. What was that? Echo One launched Cape Canaveral, and that was on this date in 1960. I want to circle back. First, peace protocol ending Spanish-American War, 1898. It just made me think of I got my book, The Bulletproof George Washington. It's a tiny little book. It's not thick at all. But it is, in essence, the story of the movie Young George Washington, which I absolutely recommend strongly. Really good movie about Washington before he became president, before he became commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Great. But I want to zero in on Thomas Edison and Vince the Phonograph.

That's why it's National Vinyl Record Day. Now, Jared's, you know, he works. He's one of the air talent for one of our music stations. Which format are you in, sir? Which are you kind of... I'm the rock guy. Modern rock or classic rock or combo? So in the business, we classify it as active rock, which would be... Oh my gosh, there's a new term? Yeah, it would be new and current stuff, but we still play the classics occasionally. A few an hour. When did Active Rock get birthed? It's been a while. Yeah? Yeah, it's been a while. How long? A few years? Good grief. It's so funny because, you know, when I started in radio, I went to work for an adult contemporary AC slash talk sports station. So we did music during the day and then it was talking sports overnight. And... And so it's like it was adult contemporary. It was top 40. It was jazz. And, and I, what, what, what they call urban at the time? Um, might have been like funk or something like that. Might have been. And then there was rock. And rock was very different than top 40, you know, pop music. You, if you, if you, if you. If you ever had your rock song played on a top 40 station, you were like, you were an outcast and laughed at. Your song's a crossover. You made it on top. And then, of course, it was country Western. It wasn't country. It was country Western. And so these terms change. But are you a vinyl guy? Have you caught on to this resurgence of vinyl? I'm aware that it is making a real big comeback, but I personally am not a big vinyl guy. Just because the accessibility of a turntable is, you know, they're like 100 bucks to find a good quality one. Yeah. Eh. crossly man you just get those little suitcase ones and and uh with the right kind of drive i've got one in my office at home and i just i still and you've not heard this rant from me and it's not really a rant i marvel to this day at the technology of a phonograph record that because there are people that would argue that the reproduction of a phonograph of music is better than any digital anywhere out there And how he did that and got sound to embed into a groove on a vinyl piece of vinyl and then play back faithfully, accurately with a piece of diamond vibrating.

Just blows my mind to this day. How did that happen? Well, at the time, they probably thought it was wizardry. Yes, probably so. And to this day, I still think it is. I think it's one of the most incredible technological things ever accomplished by man is the phonograph record. voices, instruments distinctly heard in that group. It's just, I can't, yeah. 18, oh, boy, am I late. 18 past the hour. Come back and tell you about 97 copies of something found that will get you digging a little bit.

Dr. Bob McClure scheduled to join us in the final hour. They've got some polling out from JMI. That's very, very interesting. A lot of stuff that we will go through with Dr. Bob. I told you this is going to get you digging. We always uncover these stories of flea market finds, auction houses, archaeological discoveries. I love seeing stuff like this. This was different, though. Are you a gamer, Jared? Have you ever been a gamer? Oh, all my life. Okay. So when I say Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt, you can relate? Yeah, I think that might have been the first video game I ever played, actually. Okay. This is craziness. A box of games brought into a Wisconsin retro store contained gaming history. And I mean, history. 97 copies of a previously unknown variant of Super Mario Brothers Duck Hunt for the original Nintendo showed up. What's crazy is they'd been brought to a store about six years ago. The seller told the guy that the box wound up in the possession of his grandfather who worked for a precious metal recovery service. The seller said that Nintendo had turned the games over to the service so gold could be extracted from the circuit boards, but the games never made it to the recovery. So these were games shrink-wrapped, never opened, never used. Oh, that's what the collectors love. That was supposed to be... just melted down for the metal inside. Whatever limited amount of gold was in there, that was the discovery, apparently, is that, you know, okay, there's some gold in here you can get something out of. But grandpa never did it. Laziness, maybe just there was just something inside that it never got around, whatever the case might be. So the back of the sticker on the cartridge was different. The screws were different. The manual was different. The motherboard for the game was different. So this is one of the most documented games in the history of video game preservation, and nobody had ever seen them before. And so they looked at the cartridges, and the date code came from late August 1993. Two years after... The last known printing of that game. So the guy takes the games to a grading company, professional sports authenticator. Five of the games were rated PSA 10. The first NES cartridges to ever receive a perfect score. Ever. 60 of the cartridges were rated 9.8, 31, 9.6, 1 rated 9.4. And so they've kept a couple for their private collection. And three are going on the auction block and expected to fetch perhaps tens of thousands of dollars each.

Go figure. Grandpa's laziness pays off. A variant of an iconic game. I mean, Duck Hunt? I mean, of course, Mario is like the iconic franchise for Nintendo, but Duck Hunt was a massively huge game. And they were so smart to package it with the system. And that was the thing. These things were separated from systems, but yet still wrapped. Incredible. My point in all of this is you just never know what you're going to find in boxes of things in flea markets or garage sales. You just never know. Come back with the big stories in the press box here on the morning show with Preston Scott. 35 past the hour, and the big stories in the press box this morning. This is interesting. Homicides and violent crimes in the nation's largest cities fell 17 plus percent in the first half of this year. Those numbers break down. Robberies down 16.6 percent. Rape's down 6.2 percent. aggravated assaults down 5.7%. What's interesting is that does this, does this not maybe correlate to the closure of the border? The deportation of certain bad people? The... The focus on some major cities by the President and the National Guard, consider homicides fell 43.9% in Washington, D.C., 43.7% in Memphis, 25% in New Orleans. Houston, a 38% drop. Philadelphia, 27%. And this is where we put focus and sent National Guard help. Coincidence? I think not. In this case, I think correlation is causation. Second big story. James Talarico in Texas, we've chronicled his heresy in his ministry. I put in air quotes. He's an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church of the United States, PC USA, or sorry, Presbyterian Church, sorry, Presbyterian Church USA, which is a train wreck of a denomination. They're throwing out the Bible. They're doing their own interpretations on things that are just sound, solid, scriptural, longstanding principles. And so it's interesting. There's a website. Republicans for James Talarico. And that website apparently is being shut down because it's been disclosed that it's actually a bunch of lifelong Democrats. And as I saw this story, I had a good laugh. You know, you have to remember that James Talarico believes there's six genders.

To which I reply, just six? I thought we had far more than that. But the idea of a group of Democrats putting out a phony website claiming that there are a bunch of conservatives, it sounded so familiar. Oh, that's right. It happened here in Tallahassee with people affiliated with the campaign of Jeremy Matlow. That's where I'd heard it before. The Tallahassee Conservatives website that was created by people connected to the Matlow campaign. Is this like a manual that they all, are they getting dittoes? Remember the old ditto machines? Are they getting like copies handed out? Okay, guys, here's what you do. You put a website together and you claim it's conservative or Republican. Like, you don't think people are going to figure it out? Third big story in the press box. I was absolutely horrified when I saw the applause. We'll talk more about this story next hour, but Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. Tenth deep blue state in the nation to allow abortion up to birth. Why don't you just think about that for a second? Up to birth. One side of the... Vaginal wall? Murder. Other side of the vaginal wall? Perfectly legal. Full-term baby, but perfectly legal. It's horrifying. And the applause surrounding it by the feminists that were in the room? Ugly. Just ugly. 40 minutes past the hour. Those are the big stories in the press box here in the morning show.

Hey guys, Lady Luck here. Are you going on any road trips this summer? I know I'm going to be going on a bunch of road trips.

If you live in, and this is very Tallahassee-centric here, especially Claren Lakes northeast, the next door app, your Clarn Lake neighbors. Woman writes, today a man came to my door, kept knocking, finally decided to answer, and then she shares the story. And in the story, The guy said he's working for a neighbor, and he needs to get inside her backyard to check something. And she's just saying, this is weird. She said, this doesn't feel right. She said, no. The guy's truck outside unmarked, one of those white panel vans, unmarked. had no identification on him, no way to discern that he was a legitimate repair guy. And what I've found is that this is apparently part of a robbery scheme, robbery slash burglary. where people try to get you to go into your backyard, and while they're detaining you, someone's inside your house stealing what they can see and grab hold of. Now, I bring this up, not to scare anybody, but A for awareness, but B, to point out, there's a problem here in Northeast Leon County that is not commonplace. I mean, you know, putting our cards on the table here, you don't have much crime up there. But there has been a significant uptick in car thefts, burglaries, burglaries in general, guys working in their front yard mowing, stops mowing. leaves the lawnmower in the front yard or in the driveway because he's going in to get a cold drink comes out as mower's gone. People are cruising the areas looking for opportunities to commit crimes. So number one, if you live out there, if you live anywhere, vigilance. Know your neighbors, know your neighborhood, know your patterns. Number two, see something, say something. Number three. Hello, Sheriff McNeil. This is the unincorporated area. Where are the deputies? We're the patrols. We are understaffed here in Leon County. I can't speak for any other county. I don't live in any other county. I live in this one.

We are understaffed. But I know this. We have a lot of supervisors. We have a lot of people up the chain. And I know that there have been, you know, apparently no shortage of funds to hire these people. How about some deputies? Now, I understand why the sheriff will never discuss how many deputies are on the street at a given time. because we're understaffed. And he can't get that, he can't let that information out just how porous it is. I'll just tell you, it's porous. And the county commission needs to start leaning in on this. Where are the deputies? They are stretched unbelievably thin. So I'm not mad at you deputies. I appreciate you. And you know that. And I will tell you right now that I will be shocked if I don't have a handful of email from deputies before the end of this day or the end of this week after they hear the podcast going, you're exactly right. Because I know I am. So until we get that solved, which is not going to happen anytime soon, friends, it's up to you. Don't leave things out. Nothing. Keep your cars locked. Keep your firearms out of your cars. But if I may, have your firearm handy by your doors. Hey guys, Lady Luck here. Are you going on any road trips this summer? I know I'm going to be going on a bunch of road trips. And being that I'm going to be passenger princess, I love playing on SpinQuest.com.

My bad.

Hey, I got about two hours of sleep last night. Give me a little. Here, let's do it officially. Don't worry about it. Here we go. Officially, there's your bed. Here, let's do the three, two. Got to lay out for a minute here. Welcome back to the morning show. Jared in for Jose. And as he said, he was, he is massively sleep deprived. His world is a very different schedule in our world. And so this is like a shock to the system. And I told him he's not, when was the last time you were in here running this show? Has it been a year? It might be. Yeah. At least. I think it might have been the last time Jose was on vacation for like a week. I think that might have been the last time because I think me and Grant split. Yeah, Grant, Grant did a couple days and I think you did. But it's been a minute, as the kids say. Yes, and we've also had a few behind the scenes changes since the last time I did it. Boy, people know about those changes because they've heard them. Adnauseum, they've heard them frequently. And so we're still working through things. But at any rate, welcome to the program, friends, if you're just joining us Wednesday here on the show. Next hour, I am going to once again touch on. A teaching. Boy, that sounds so presumptuous. But I just know that it is on Islam. You don't know. And our nation doesn't know. England's paying the price right now for not knowing.

And as much as I wish my show were heard by more people nationally, I will accept that it's heard by who it's heard by and trust that you will take what you're learning and share it and share the segments with others. Go to my blog page. You will see things and hear things and learn things that will be so helpful to you. But we'll get to that next hour as well. as a few other things. We've got Dr. Bob McClure from the James Madison Institute in the final hour. We've got some polling here in the state of Florida that I think is worth talking about. We'll do that. California City. And I'd never heard of Suisun. Suisuan or Swiss Sun, S-U-I-S-U-N city. Suis-S-U-S-U-S-U-S-U-N city. It sounds like either something that you're going to get at the buffet at chow time or I don't know. Something you might be dealing with after having a little too much chow time. Switzerland City. Say that five times fast. Could be. They declared a state of emergency because, and it's a small town, population just under 30,000. Their entire 911 system. was shut down. Cyber attacks. FBI's involved. They had a plan and so it wasn't disaster. But here's the thing. Cyber attacks are happening in parts of the country. We're being tested. Is it Iran? Maybe. Is it China? Maybe. Is it North Korea? Maybe. Russia? Maybe. It doesn't matter who. We're being tested for vulnerability and we're being watched for our reactions. How are we handling it? And this is what fuels my argument against the connected power grid that we have in our country. I know. Best of intentions, worst possible idea. Because you can shut down a third of the country, a quarter of the country, boom, with one virus. So. Just keeping it on your radar. All right. Hour two coming up next. All right. Here we go. Second hour already. Boy, time's moving fast. Not fast enough for Jared, but it's moving fast. At least I got the right music playing this time. He played the right music last time. It was just early. Just a little premature. Just a little bit. Anyway, Jared in for Jose this morning. And it is the, excuse me, Wednesday edition of the program, affectionately known as Common Sense Amplified. And I want to highlight that. Common Sense. I want you to just sit back and listen to an excerpt of this interview. This is a local news interview somewhere with Francis Gill. She's a spokes gal for the Democratic Socialist Party of America. And I want you to pay very close attention to the answer or lack thereof the questions being sent her way.

A policy agenda on law enforcement is to defund police, ultimately to get rid of police departments, correct? Well, what I would say is that we're dramatically overspending on police right now. I understand, but the goal is to defund the police departments so we don't need them in the future. I think it's what we really want to see is a horizon where folks are not reliant on armed enforcement to meet our public safety needs. Right, but it says defund police on the website. That's your goal. And also to get rid of prisons and jails, correct? Yes. So if my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and bring him to justice? Of course, yeah, of course. What would it be if not police, and where would he be if not a jail? So I guess I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals and talk more about the reality that we're... I just have to hit pause button. These hypotheticals. I don't want to really talk about these hypotheticals. You mean about the rapes and the attacks that happen in our country? You mean those hypotheticals that happen? Just continue. Actually facing right now, which is that we're spending in absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing. And we're not spending money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things like actually well lit streets. The street lights in Los Angeles. Everybody agrees it's a huge problem. things like mental health care and substance use, substance use treatment. So things that drive people to commit crimes and that make our society less safe, we're not doing anything about the root causes. And instead, we're funneling money into the police. So a root cause of crime are streetlights being out. This is just, and this is growing.

Thankfully, Florida is committed to making certain that kids learn about communism, that they learn about socialism and Marxism, that they understand the history of them. I still go back to my interview with Douglas Brunt, who pointed out that the Brits had a chance to snuff out communism before it ever got started in Russia, and they whiffed. They just whiffed. There was a moment in history where it could have been exterminated. And they didn't take it upon themselves to do it. And so here we are right now. She couldn't answer the question on what to do if someone is raped. Who's going to catch him? Where are they going to be? No prison? Nothing. This is just one opportunity for you to take the socialist message and understand what the goals are. Get rid of police. Get rid of them. And I just want to point something out to you. Are there no police in China? Are there no police in North Korea? Are there no police in Russia? Huh. Oh, no, there are. Only they control everybody. Not just the bad guys.

That is what the DSA stands for and getting rid of prisons and so forth. Look, there are things to improve, sure, but this is the lunacy of the left that is growing in popularity even yesterday in the primaries across the country. More socialists. Ten past the hour.

We started chronicling the departure of people from the Democrat Party years ago with my interviews with Brandon Straca, the founder of the walkaway campaign. Now, you may recall Brandon's story. Brandon was a liberal Democrat, gay model, living in New York City, heartbroken when Hillary Clinton was defeated by Donald Trump. Sobbing could not believe that it happened.

And in his depression and in his efforts to really show how bad Trump was and was going to be, he had an epiphany. The media had lied about nearly everything. Now, I've discussed. We've discussed. Some of you disagree with me. That's okay. I'm not an always-trumper. I'm not a never-trumper. I am a guy who believes that Donald Trump has been a wonderful president. 80% of what he's done has been wonderful. But then there's Trump. And Trump, the guy, is at times embarrassing. The hyperbole and so forth is over the top. Oh, well. I'll take it. versus what we would have had with Kamala Harris. What we did get with Joe, we shouldn't have had. But we got a better addition of Trump from a policy perspective because of those four years of Biden. But Straca found out that it was all a lie. The media just distorted everything. So he became... an outcast in his own party as he started to uncover and share this stuff, his friend groups disappeared. They hated him. And he learned that the intolerance was never on the right. It was always on the left. He learned some hard lessons in his personal friendships, his professional friendships. Now we come to a story here by Liz Peake about Julian Epstein, longtime Democrat, talking recently about his party. writing, I think the Democrats have gone off the deep end and the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. How deep was he as a Democrat? He was the chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, worked to elect Hillary Clinton. He's disgusted with the party because it's gone too far left. His words not mine. Lost its moral center. His words not mine. Although I have said the same thing. He announced an op-ed in the New York Post that he is supporting Mike Rogers, running for the Senate in Michigan, against progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed. More on the Islamic problem in a few minutes. He's picking Rogers because Rogers is a very practical, middle-of-the-road, normie guy who would have been very consistent where the Democrats were during the Clinton administration. Good for Epstein, writes Liz. He says in his broadside that his announcement isn't about him, but rather an indication of where the Democrats are ending up. There's no room in the tent for people who want to destroy our Constitution. There's no room in the tent for people who want to align themselves with radical Islam. There's no room in the tent for people who align themselves with anti-Semitism. But as Liz points out, what's the problem with the rest of Democrats?

She said, yeah, I know it's hard to buy a house, rent is expensive, but so are incomes for those who want to work. There are millions of job openings. The standard of living in the U.S. where nearly everyone has a cell phone and routinely lines up for $6 lattes is the highest of any place in the world. That's not conjecture. It's a fact. American median income is $72 a day, 32% above the median Brit income, 70% above Japan's, five times that of China's. And she goes on from there. So the Democrat Party, according to one Democrat that's left, jumping off a cliff. This is why the numbers are shifting, and this is why the illegal immigration problem existed under Biden, because the math was not working out for the left. They had to have more voters. And that's why voter ID is being fought by every Democrat except John Fetterman. 16 passed. We come back. We're going to talk a little bit more about the Islamic problem facing our country. We're going to try and build on some things as we go so that you are better versed on Islam. And again, this is about... Knowing the danger and the importance of not ignoring that danger, it is hopefully going to drive you to know more about your faith in Christ, which I hope is where your faith is placed. But understanding this, this simple reality, Sharia and radical Islam, which expressed itself and expresses itself in Sharia, will always be a threat to a constitutional republic and to Christianity and to any other religion. I've shared my time studying world religions. I spent eight years on this, friends. Islam is the only religion in the world.

that has a system in place that they support with their scriptures that says either infidels, meaning anyone who's not an all-in Islamist, either convert, pay a tribute to live or are killed. That's it. One of the reasons why Christianity tracks so strongly with Islamists when they convert to Christianity is because they come to this place and I've heard this said by Islamists. Wait, I don't have to convert my children into suicide bombers. I don't have to kill people to reach heaven. No. The grace message of Christ. separates itself. All world religions can be summed up with this. It's about man's attempt to reach God. Christianity is separate from all world religions in that it's about God's attempt to reach man. Islam separates itself from all religions in that you either believe this or you pay or you die. Period. That's it. You might find that unbelievably uncomfortable, but that is a fact and a reality.

Surah 2191 and fight those who wherever so ever you find them and expel them from the place they have turned you out from. Oppression is worse than killing. Do not fight them by the holy mosque unless they fight you there. If they do, then slay them such is the requital for unbelievers. Surah 2216. enjoined on you is fighting, and this you abhor. You may dislike a thing, yet it may be good for you, or a thing may happily please you, but may be bad for you. Only God has knowledge, and you do not know. And for all of you that say, well, you know, there are things in the Old Testament that we don't hold literally anymore. That's the difference. The Old Testament was supplanted by the New Testament, the Ten Commandments by the two. In this case, the adherence of Islam, the people that lead Islamic nations, they believe every single thing I'm reading to you. They govern according to it. I have a list of their verses.

It is important for you, for policymakers, for lawmakers in this country to understand. Islam is not just a religion. It is a way of governance. It is a political process that ends all competition. No one's allowed to compete. There is no competition of ideas. Look at the nations that were not so dramatically Islamic befores and afters, like Iran in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and then since the Ayatollahs. Look at Afghanistan. What's up, everybody? It's Bretzky, and America is turning 250. And I can't think of a better way to celebrate that than playing on an American-owned social casino, SpinQuest.com.

It's night and day different. This is what's coming in England right now. Right now it's happening in communities. And they're attempting to set up communities where they run de facto Sharia law in Texas, in Michigan. They take office and then they create an environment that puts targets. I've shared the sound of the mayor of Dearborn, the city commission, and their attacks on a Christian. who opposed them playing sirens in the middle of the day all day long for prayer. The mayor said, you need to be run out of this city and I'll be standing and throwing a parade when you're gone. That's the mayor of the city. That's how inclusive Islamists are.

I'm going to keep talking about this. It makes people nervous. It makes people uncomfortable. But that's why we have to do it. You have to be informed. And you have to take it upon yourself to learn. Come back with the big stories in the press box. This morning show with Preston Scott. 36 past the hour, big stories in the press box. I said I wanted to spend a little more time on this, this hour. When I saw the celebration, I had to fight tears. The governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, signed a bill passed in the legislature. Which of course means she's not alone. That makes Massachusetts the 10th state in the nation that allows abortion up to birth. No limits.

I want to pose a question to those of you that are pro-quote choice. Although I would say that's kind of a misnomer. What choice does the kid have? And I've always found it so interesting that people advocating for abortion rights weren't aborted. The irony of that has never left me. You weren't aborted. You were born. Boy, aren't you grateful that you were given a chance to live? I can't, let me go back to the question I want to pose those of you that would call yourselves pro-choice. Do you have no problem with the fact that a baby full term ready to be born can be killed inside the womb? Outside the womb, it's murder. Inside the womb, perfectly legal. Do you not have a problem with that? And if you don't, I would then ask you, what has happened to your soul? This is a human being. It's not a dog or a cat or a fish. It's not a bird. It's a human. And I've heard all the arguments all my adult life. No, it's not a human. It's a tissue. Well, no, it's a, it's a human. It's not going to form into anything but a human. And if you took a picture of a child at birth and you compared it to that person when they're 90, you couldn't tell them, you couldn't tell it's the same person. Why? Because we change all of our lives. We age. We become different looking. Our features change. Hairline changes. ears get bigger, nose gets big. We're different. So in the womb, different. Well, viability. It's not viable. I hate to break it to you. I'm not sure that a child's viable until there may be four, three, three years old, four years old, when they can communicate and say, hey, I need help. They're dependent on mom, dad, somebody. So viability is just a shallow, hollow argument. But we have 10 states now that will allow a child at 38 weeks. I mean, children are born prematurely. I've got a beautiful granddaughter that was born prematurely.

Children are born prematurely all the time and they grow normally and are healthy, happy, and fine. How can we as a society think this is okay? Here's what's going to come now. Because of this, here's where we're going. And I predicted this back a few years ago. I thought Roe v. Wade would be overturned, but I also said it's not going to, it cannot stop there. Here's what's going to have to happen because states are going to go to what Massachusetts just did. So here's what's coming. Write it down. There will be lawsuits now arguing on personhood. that will protect that child in the womb of the mother, because right now the most dangerous place for a baby is inside its mother's womb. And that's a tragedy. 41 minutes past the hour, that is one of the big stories in the press box. And by the way, just an addendum to that story. I mean, I care. Just because I want everybody to be in a place where God will bless them and sleeping around is not a thing that God blesses. But in the grand scheme of things, I personally, I don't care if you sleep with the football team, ladies. That's up to you. You want to shack up with whatever. But when you get pregnant, there's another life involved, and then it's not just your body. You're sharing it. And so if you want to be promiscuous, do your thing, but we're going to get to a place. I think we're going to have to argue on the personhood and we're going to have to establish that's a human being. Period. End. Period. End. And it has rights. It has protections. And if you do not want to get pregnant, then don't. Don't get pregnant. I don't know what to tell you. This is one of those medical headlines. It's like, ah, figures. You know what?

Candida Aria. Goes by C.R.S. documented in the U.S. 3,437 times clinically so far. California has a quarter of the total.

Other states with high numbers, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia, Louisiana, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania. Florida is not on that list. Shut the borders. We get so much of everything else. I think we can take the mulligan on this one. Bonus points for use of the word mulligan. That's boy. Yeah, it can survive on surfaces for prolonged periods, thus is highly transmissible through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. Man, I hope. Let me see if I can find the symptoms in here. Is it matching what Jose had this morning? Well, that's why I'm checking. Do I need to be wiping down the surfaces in here? Well, I would do that anyway, regardless. Because Jose occupies that room. I've seen his kitchen equipment. I don't know if everybody realizes this, but Jose has like a mini kitchen back here. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's got an electric frying pan in the commissary. He's got all kinds of spices and things laying about. We got snacks and coffee back here. Well, nothing wrong with snacks. I've got soft drinks and water and my propel, which I drink. When the crumbs get into the board, then it's a problem. That's true. That's true. You have to be careful. Infections, though, with this stuff, mortality is 30 to 72%. That's pretty high. That's a pretty high range, too, 30 to 70. Yeah, but you're still at one-third to three-quarters of the people that get it are dead. That's...

Yeah, so just be advised. It's a thing, especially if you're traveling. Why don't they list anywhere in here the symptoms? They show no, they do not show symptoms. Carriers do not show symptoms. Carriers do not show symptoms. Okay, the carriers do not show symptoms. Those most at risk are patients with severe underlying medical conditions. Well, there you go. So if you're not healthy to begin with, you're in trouble. If your immune system is weak, you're in trouble. Here we go. Fever, chills, aches. The problem is they can be mistaken for about every other illness and infection on the globe. So, yeah, just be aware. It is a thing. Candida Aris C. Aris is the name of the fungal disease spreading now across the country. Don't worry, Anthony Fauci's got it. I got a vaccine for you.

I have shared one of my favorite sources for some stories that I talk about here is not the bee. Of course, we know the Babylon Bee is satire, but they have a companion site called Not the Bee. And Not the Bee is the site where it's news that is 100% verified true that you just have to shake your head at. This story communicates one message. This is how you know that you as a nation are conquered without you having to say a word. And, of course, we're talking about the United Kingdom. England. England. England. Cambridge in particular is installing public squatty potty for foreign visitors at a cost of one quid. One pound per squat. It is apparently a more natural method of going to the toilet, apparently, favored by many internationals. There have been many times I've brought up the squatty potty in staff meetings and just been soundly shot down. Because you want one. Well, usually because it's brought up completely unprompted. Like we weren't even talking about it. And I'm just throwing out suggestions to be helpful, but it just doesn't have the support, I guess. Well, yeah, unless you are somebody who favors that style. But just for a second, think about that. The capitulation to foreigners reminding you that England has been invaded for the last decade by Islamic males at a number estimated at 4,000, 5, 6, 700,000. And we're talking fighting age males. And so now they've decided that they're going to be installing the labor council in Cambridge, this from the story, and the Daily Mail has installed squat toilets, said to be favored by international visitors and are charging one pound per visit. The public toilets, which include three squats-style flushing toilets on Silver Street, opposite Queens College at the University of Cambridge. Cost Cambridge City Council $1 million to build. So, I mean, they've put other new toilets in, so I guess that's a little bit of a redemption. They've got some new seats for everybody, but the squatty potties. Again, how do you communicate that you've been conquered? Saying you've been conquered. There you go. You're placing. No, you're in fill in the blank country. This is how they do things. It's just, it's like if you're in Japan, you pick up your trash. And if you're in England now, you can, well, never.

Good morning, friends. I'm Preston. Jared is in for Jose. And it's the third hour of the morning show with Preston Scott for Wednesday, August the 12th, show 5655. And I am joined monthly by the president of the James Madison Institute. He is Dr. Bob McClure. Dr. McClure, how are you, sir? I'm doing great, my friend. How are you doing? I stand shocked at the polling we're about to discuss that JMI has done. Before we talk specifics, I'll let you kind of lead off by answering this question. Is there anything in the results of this polling that really caused you to drop your draw? Because something caused me to drop mine. You know, Preston, we study and work on this so much. There were a number of things that were confirmed in terms of what I thought. issues related to affordability, which I know we'll get into in the election. There was nothing that really surprised me, but it's probably because I'm in the process. So tell me what surprised you. It's the lead on the poll that 74% of respondents support the proposal to reduce or eliminate property tax. I'm shocked. I am shocked because there is no campaign in support of it. And the negative, the attacks, the scare tactics are everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a good point. You know, anecdotally, we had been hearing this around the state. So we hear people tell us all the time, hey, the governor's eliminating our property taxes. I'm all for it. And that's what the governor's message was for so long, and I don't think it's translated into what actually this amendment is. I'm a big believer in any opportunity to reduce the size of government in terms of lowering taxes and reducing spending is an opportunity to be successful. We have some good friends that don't share this position. But I didn't think this amendment had much of a chance to pass. But after that polling, I think it's got a chance. I think it's got a decent chance. Obviously, we have to get 60% here in Florida. It's not 50% plus one. Hanging out at the pool is great.

And I think the narrative is still out there that the governor wants to eliminate our property taxes. wrongly, but this is the amendment that's going to do that. Yeah, and by wrongly, you mean not so much the governors, because this amendment does not mirror what the governor requested and advocated for. But he's saying, you know, I'm going to vote for it because it's better than nothing. We're going to have time to pick this apart a little bit further because I think there's a lot to pick apart, but this polling... covers so many interesting areas, and one of them you had mentioned just briefly, and it's the affordability issue. Yeah, we've got a big affordable. And look, Florida's demographics match the entire country. We have two time zones. We have about 800 people moving here a day. I mean, the issues that you're going to find in proper polling in Florida, and let me tell you something, this is not a push poll. This is a, you know, we lay out, all the cross tabs we lay out, everything we've done, how we got here. And we have nothing, not because you have nothing to gain by hiding anything. And so affordability matches the concerns across the country. Not only when you go through a drive-through or go to a grocery store or fix your car, the things that you and I and your listeners deal with every single day, but it's also your home, trying to buy a home, paying your insurance. You know, all of those kinds of things. It is a massive issue across the country. And on a national level, the Republicans have not in Congress have done a terrible job. Terrible. I know it's just shocking, but the Republicans in Washington have done a terrible job getting anything done and then messaging it in the proper way. The Democratic Socialists are going to bail them out, but that's a different topic. But that is a huge issue. The candidates from both parties in Florida running for governor have in their own way tried to address this issue, but it's going to continue to be a big issue. I would predict probably for the rest of the president's term.

We're going to keep talking with Dr. Bob McClure, president of what we call JMI. It's the James Madison Institute, and it's a think tank based on good policy for the state of Florida. More next on the morning show. With Dr. Bob McClure of the James Madison Institute talking about some polling that JMI has recently released. And you touched on it a little bit, the race for governor. Break down what your polling shows. You know, it shows that right now, obviously David Jolly and Byron Donalds are the favorites. You know, Byron has the president's. endorsement, which is really big in Florida and huge in a Republican primary. And so what we're seeing is Byron's at 49%. David Jolly's obviously going to win that primary. But then when you look at the head-to-head, generally speaking, Byron's up seven points. And so, which is a lot in a Florida race. So it's going to be very interesting. Your listeners may or may not know that there are more Republicans statewide registered as Republicans than there are Democrats by almost about a million and a half registrations, which is huge. And the polling is reflecting that. What I think is more interesting is not more interesting, but at least as interesting, is what each is. candidate is saying how they're going to address the issues in this polling. And I think that's really important for voters to understand. Tell me this, and I should know this answer, but it right now is escaping me. Is there a winner take-all in the primaries, or do we face a runoff? Yeah, it'll be winner-take-all in the governor's race. Okay.

So plurality wins the race. Right, right. All right. Go ahead. No, no, no. So, and, you know, Byron's got a lot of money. I'm sure that I don't know what David Jolly has, but I think the Democrats think they might be able to sneak in and. and steal this governor's race, given the discussions you and I have just had about affordability and the problems Republicans are having across the country. I don't think that's going to be, I don't think they have as good a shot as they think they do, but we're going to let it play out and see where we go. Yeah, sadly, I think the, and it's a constant theme that I have been complaining about for a long, long time. Bob, is the messaging inadequacies of the Republican Party in general and conservatives to a certain extent, it shows up at times like this because there are messaging opportunities left and right. But how David Jolly is even sitting at 38 percent astounds me, to be honest with you. Right. No, I agree. And I think that Republicans, and I'm not saying that this is Byron per se, but generally, you know, just calling someone a socialist, just calling someone a Marxist, as opposed to talking daily, minute by minute, about the issues that... Floridians voters face every single day. 40 bucks when you're getting a burger at the drive-thru, getting your car fixed, groceries, the things that matter, paying your car insurance, your home insurance, the things that matter every single day, how are you, Mr. politician, going to address these issues? That... came through loud and clear on this polling. What I thought was interesting is that you had almost half of our respondents. did not have a college degree. And what that tells you is that these issues transcend all economic, socioeconomic background. It is hardworking, blue-collar Floridians, and it is maybe middle-class, upper-middle-class Floridians. Everybody is concerned about these issues, like affordability. and the future of the country and how they're going to pay for, you know, basic goods and services. And it cuts across all economic lives. Dr. Bob McClure with us. We're going to talk about some polling on some of those individual issues next here on the morning show with Preston Scott.

Dr. Bob McClure, president of the James Madison Institute with me. We're talking about some polling that JMI has done. Back to the affordable issue, the affordability issue, I should say, Dr. McClure. And health care price transparency, you decided to ask some questions related to that. Yeah, and no surprise, Floridians want to know what things cost. And, you know, the president has pushed hard on this. The governor has pushed hard on this. But the efforts kind of across the board, again, this is a great issue for Republicans, but it's very disjointed in how they strategize on this. It goes back to the affordability component, Preston, in that people are nervous about the cost of health care. And there are all kinds of solutions, and we don't message it well at all. And price transparency is critically important. Hospitals don't want you to know what they pay for aspirin or procedures. Doctors, by and large, generally, don't want you to know what they pay. Now, part of it is not their fault. There is just regulatory, just kind of thicket of just driving up the cost of just surviving as a medical professional. I get that. There's the fear of... Being sued. I get that. But price transparency on prescription drugs and services is critically important. And the polling reflected that. If the polling in, and let me put it this way, the polling shows 91% of Republicans, 88% of Democrats, 92% of independents support transparency in prescription prices, non-emergency procedures, and so forth. then what's keeping the legislature from doing something about it? Well, I think there is a, I mean, if we're all honest here, right, just between you and me, I'm sure nobody's. Yeah, no one's listening, just us. Right, right. I mean, there's a huge medical lobbying component. to obscuring the message, right? People get very wealthy, not people, but, well, people, but entities get very wealthy by obscuring the cost of healthcare. And so there is a significant component that doesn't want... You and me, doesn't want us to know what things are going to cost, not only in the state, but across the country. It's also far more complicated in terms. Healthcare is a...

is an issue unlike, let's say, property insurance that is, you know, focused that really is in the state of Florida. We can really affect that. Health care is also an issue that crosses state lines, and even into D.C., as we all know, and that also drives up the cost. So it's a very complicated issue. The other side likes to muddy the waters. It makes it difficult to get legislation passed. From the policy perspective of JMI, I want to get your thoughts on one other part of your polling, although there's a lot more that could be discussed. I think next most important that I want to touch on is the education side of this polling. What informs policy out of this polling? What stands out to you from your chair as president of James Madison? Well, I think what I find interesting is that I believe that parental choice and... opportunity is obviously here to stay, and it's going to continue to grow in the state. For so long, going back years, Preston, people didn't trust that. They were concerned because they didn't know anything about it on the education front. And now it has become just the du jour. opportunity for your children and for your grandchildren. So right now over 50% of our K-12 educated or age children. have some form of school choice. That means they might take a class online, or they might, you know, take a class at the local junior college, or, you know, they're in a magnet school or whatever. That's a stunning statistic. And what we find is that families and parents want more opportunity and more choice. Interestingly, David Jolly and Gwen Graham came out and said, if they're elected... they are going to put an end to that. And not that they can, but that they continue to run that old stale playbook that really cost Andrew Gillum the election eight years ago. And Byron obviously has said that they're going to continue to expand it and grow it in terms of choice and opportunity. The money follows the child today. Each child is different. If you have more than one child, you know that in your own home. The money follows the child, and parents are getting comfortable with that. Whereas back in the day, the love for the old public school when I was growing up, I put that in air quotes. That is dissipating, and it's good to see. Now public schools are having to compete for students, regardless of what Rocky Hanna says, or a school board that won't, you know, close schools.

regardless of what they say, they're now having to compete for students, and that is a good thing. Dr. McClure, thanks as always for the time. We'll talk again next month, and we'll have some primary results to discuss then as well. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Let me jump on this real quick because it's timely. Got a note here from a listener, Jason writes, why don't we just charge more to the people and businesses that are flooding our state? Look around. This is in relation to property tax. At Tallahassee in the growth of student housing, our population barely moved in the census. Tax the crap out of them. Coast is riddled with property owners from Tennessee. Tax the crap out of them. People are moving here from other states, paying cash for large amounts of property. Tax the crap out of them. That should do two things, slow the spread and allow natives to have their property taxes removed or limited. Sure, there's more to it, just the thought. Yeah, here's a few things to keep in mind. Number one, the property tax proposal will cost shift. It will move costs to non-homesteaded properties, which are, in fact, rentals. So the cost of rent would go up more than likely because locals... will shift, even though there are limits to the amount that taxes can go up on non-homesteaded properties, city and county governments will have no fears of raising taxes on those people, and they will, and that will drive rent up. The property tax is only for homesteaded properties, and it starts at $150,000. next year and the year after that it would go to 250, the first 250,000. That's not property tax elimination. It would put a massive dent in a lot of properties, but it wouldn't eliminate it for a lot of properties. The problem comes in that there has to be some cap on, and that's what the legislature can do. The legislature can place a cap on cities and counties. They'll sue. Cities and counties will sue. And it will say to them, you can only tax or receive revenues at this level, which is inflation and cost of living, the CPI, consumer price index, and any population increases. And so it would, in essence, put a limitation on what could be taxed people. And it doesn't say to cities and counties, here's what you have to spend your money on. It would implicitly say that because if cities and counties said, well, we can't fund law enforcement at the expense of some of the stupid things they do fund, you vote them out of office. But it's a game of chicken, to be honest with you. The property tax issue does not solve the problem. It lessens the burden. That's good, but it's...

This was done hastily and what got put as an amendment was placed on there in part as a kind of a, if you will, a flipping of the bird to Governor Ronda Sanchez by Danny Perez. The now former House Speaker was a disastrous House Speaker. And someday I might go into why this all happened. Let's just say there was a grudge and Danny Perez was used to. Take that grudge and use it against Governor Ron DeSantis. And I pretty well know it at this point. I pretty well have pieced it all together and had it verified. And Danny Perez was the vehicle, the mechanism used to thwart the governor. And this property tax amendment, in my opinion, though it's a step, it's not nearly what it needs to be. And I'm afraid it stops there. But we'll see. We'll see where it all goes. That was not the big story in the press box, but I thought it was important that we kind of reset that as part of the discussion with Dr. Bob McClure. We did the big stories in the first and second hour, so you can listen to the podcast and check those out. We come back. Amiakalpa with Animal Stories.

Again, the band, man, when they get in the studio and start cutting music, the morning show band, you never know what you're going to get out of it. They just sat down and did a little blues riff there. A little variety for you. Yeah, absolutely, 100%. Tomorrow on the program, Steve Stewart will join us, Dr. David Hartz. Alan Birx, he is vice president of risk management for First Commerce Credit Union. We're going to be talking about some scams that are out there, some fraud alert type stuff to try to help you. This isn't about just our region where First Commerce Credit Union is, although they are in the Panama City region now. This is about helping you regardless of where you are, where you're listening, because this stuff's happening all over the country. So we're going to help you out tomorrow on the program. 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. Okay, my mea culpa. I have said dogs are about the only pet worth having that can really make a difference in save your life. I've been corrected once by a story of a cat that woke people up because of a fire or something. Fair enough. There aren't many cats that would do it. Most cats would let you die. Because remember, cats are plotting your death. You may not know that about your cat, but your cat would kill you if it could. I've always said if your cat was big enough to eat you, it would. It would absolutely slit your throat. Watch you bleed and then consume it. There's no doubt. But I now have to say we make room for yet another animal. A goose. This is an unbelievable story, but it's 100% true. Is it a silly goose? It is not. In this case, you would think that one of our kids, we've got one of our kids, Trey, is one of those that, you know, when he was little, he got a big stuffed dog, one of the massive ones bigger than he was. So he went deep into the name, you know, name calling, and he came up with Fluffy. Okay. He would name a brown dog, probably brownie. And things like, it's like, oh, come on. Well, this goose is named Goosey. But what's important is what old Goosey did. Bert Gerber of Fort Bend County, Texas, which by the way, if you're looking at Houston, is to the south and west of Houston, right there attached to it. Bert was sleeping in front of the television last week when he was awakened by the honking of his goose. Goosey. It's a family pet, daughter brought it home. Oh, can we keep it? And you know how that works, parents, right?

Well, he was roused by Goosey's honking, and he kind of sleepy, sort of, and he, you know, you've been in that stupor, and he walks outside, and then he sees the barn is on fire, as in, whoosh, on fire. Could have been devastating. And it could have spread to the home. So Goosey. saved perhaps the family, but at the very least, saved the barn because he was able to get control of the flames. And so we say a salute to Goosey the Goose. And I acknowledge that, okay, now we've added from dogs way in front, cats, and now geese, capable of saving lives. It's the morning show with Preston Scott. Came across this note here on the Fox News site, Amazon reviewers can't get enough of these 12 DeWalt tools, starting at 35 bucks. They're doing some sale or something on DeWalt. I'm a big DeWalt guy. Big. Huge. Their batteries are great. Expensive, but great. But two of the very best tools are not on this list. And I am just, and tools might be a bit of a stretch. But if you look at the list, tools would be a stretch for some of them as they list them.
