Speaker 1 (00:11):
We're back. Hey, good morning friends, Welcome back The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. The live shows have returned as
promised Monday, January sixth, Show fifty two to ninety one.
Fourteen days friends, just fourteen days before. We're sitting the
(00:32):
day before. We might sing any the any song. The
sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that
tomorrow they'll be sun. Just thinking about tomorrow. Okay, I
gotta stop there anyway. Welcome, great to be with you.
(00:53):
Happy New Year. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday
and a safe New Year. I will unpack the show obviously,
We've got much to discuss this morning, but we will
do first things first. One Peter one, verse thirteen. Therefore
listen now this is great, well they all are. Therefore,
(01:16):
preparing your minds for action and being sober minded, set
your hope fully on the grace that will be brought
to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Get a
piece of that and chew on it for a little while.
(01:38):
Prepare your minds for action. Boy, is that not kind
of what I hope your discernometer is on my commentary
that I did this morning, that you'll hear over the
next few days is all about you better have your
discernment fully in tune, and you better have your faith
(02:04):
built up, and you better brace yourselves. I wish I
could tell you that this year is going to be
just incredibly awesome, and there will certainly be moments that
are but I think it's going to be a very
challenging year on a lot of fronts. And we got
a dose of it on New Year's Day hours into
(02:25):
the new year, and we'll certainly talk about all that.
But my friends, keep yourself grafted into the vine that
is Christ. Keep yourself, get yourself reading scripture, starting your
day in prayer, build yourself up, and you will navigate
what's to come better. I promise you that. Ten past
(02:49):
the hour. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go next.
We are back. He's Jose, I'm Preston. It is the
Morning Show with Preston's Scott. This is the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. January sixth, seventeen fifty nine. George Washington
(03:16):
and Martha Dendridge Custis are married. Eighteen thirty eight. Let's
dig a bit deeper here. As a young man, Samuel
Morse set out to become a famous painter. His ambition
was to quote rival the genius of raphael A Michelangelo,
(03:36):
a Titian. He studied at the Royal Academy in London
won acclaim by painting portraits of men such as President
James Monroe and the Marquis de Lafayette. Did you know
that his paintings are famous? Samuel Morse? However, in eighteen
(03:56):
thirty two, on board a ship crossing the ocean, Morse
heard another passenger describe how electricity could pass instantly over
any length of wire. He began to wonder could messages
be sent over wires with electricity? He rushed back to
(04:17):
his cabin, took out his drawing book, and began to
sketch out his idea for a telegraph. He knew little
about electricity, but he learned as he went. He used
a homemade battery in parts from an old clock to
build his first models. He developed the code of long
and short electrical impulses, dots and dashes to represent letters.
(04:38):
His invention raised the interest of Alfred Vale, a machinist,
who became his partner. On January sixth, eighteen thirty eight,
the inventors were ready to test their device over two
miles of wire at the Veil family Ironworks in New Jersey.
Veil's father scribbled a patient waiter is no loser on
(04:59):
a piece paper and handed it to his son. If
you can send this and mister Morris can read it
at the other end, I shall be convinced, he said.
A short time later, the words came out on the
receiving end. It would be May of eighteen forty four
when an amazed crowd at the Supreme Court Chambers in Washington,
DC watched Samuel Morris demonstrate his telegraph by sending a
(05:23):
message over a wire to Baltimore, thirty five miles away.
In Morse code, he tapped out a quote from the Bible,
what hath God wrought? Soon, telegraph lines link countries and continents.
The world entered the age of modern communication. How crazy
is that? Also on this date, nineteen twelve, New Mexico
(05:45):
becomes the forty seventh state, And in nineteen forty two,
the Pan American Airways Pacific Clipper arrives in New York
City to complete the first round the world trip by
a commercial airplane that was not for the faint of heart.
All right, fifteen past the hour and let me kind
(06:08):
of I'm going to talk about the Twelve Days because
I got a lot of feedback on that, and I'll
simply say I would love to hear from you if
you caught any of the Twelve Days shows. I'm going
to share a sampling of what I've received a little later,
excuse me a little bit later on, but today is
(06:30):
sort of about catching up a little bit. We are
going to focus on the biggest stories that we need
to have on our radar, and there are developments in
those stories. We'll get to that at the bottom of
the hour. The big stories in the press box. Doctor
Joe's back with us today. Iris Chaffelle will join us
(06:51):
in the third hour because there are not just developments
with FSU football, but the men's basketball team, having a
nice start to their season, finds itself in a bit
of controversy. Head coach Leonard Hamilton being sued by former
players claiming he did not pay up what was promised
(07:14):
to them. What's interesting is FSU said it's not an
il money. We're investigating this, so we'll get the latest
from IRA on all of that. I've known coach Ham
for a long time, and this just seems a little
out of place. So I'm not sure whether this is
(07:34):
sour grapes or if they's substance to it. I just
don't know. So we'll talk about that. So stick around
much to discuss, share a little road trip escapade that
I went on over the holiday, and much more so.
Good morning, my friends, thanks for staying with us as
we now begin our live shows for the new season.
(07:57):
That is twenty twenty five here on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Hey, good morning, twenty two past the hour.
(08:22):
So here's what happened while we went away and I
did ose? Did you leave town at all during the
holiday break? No, sir, not at all. I stayed in
town and I loved it. Yeah, we you know it was.
It was weird. You might catch just a little bit
of a sniffle because I am recovering from having a
(08:42):
good old fashioned cold. It's so crazy. I got I
got beaten into oblivion. We had my daughter came in
town with three of our grandchildren and hung out with us,
and two of them were not doing well. They had
(09:04):
the sniffles, and so I had been fighting it and
then it was just like, yeah, dude, you're done. You're overwhelmed.
So our Christmas was weird because different pockets of the
family had different sicknesses or we're dodging it and didn't
want to get sick. So we basically had like three
(09:27):
different Christmases. One with my daughter and her kids, one
with one of our sons, his wife and granddaughter, and
then another with two of our other kids. We've got
another set of kids, a son and wife that didn't
come up for the holidays, so we're hoping to see
(09:47):
them in the next few weeks, but who knows, so
there's still more Christmas pending. But it was just this
staggered kind of thing. And then after Christmas, it was
delightful in its own way, okay, just getting to spend
time with everybody, though it was kind of broken up
(10:10):
a little bit. It was a perpetual Christmas. It's like
it was like a progressive Christmas. You know, you eat
a little breakfast, you eat a little lunch, eat a
little dinner, and you just kind of kept going. But
my wife and I went on a little roadie and
so I planned this trip up through Georgia and we
(10:33):
stopped at Robin's Air Force Base, the Museum of Aviation.
That was cool. That was That was and if you've
never been, it's it's near making, it's not far from making.
It's free of charge. It's a man you can spend
some time there. Now got a ton of aircraft on
(10:54):
the property and then inside the buildings, and it was
just it was delightful. Then we went up to Helen, Georgia,
spent the night in Helen. It is Helen is very
cool to look at and it's fun to walk. If
you're in the right hotel, you can just walk wherever
you want to go. But I was a little disappointed
(11:16):
that the shops there were a little too touristy for me.
They were a little bit too many souvenirs and sasquatch
bumper stickers and that kind of thing. I mean, it
was just it was a little little much. There were
a couple of shops that had like, you know, authentic
cuckoo clocks because it's a Bavarian village. If you didn't know.
(11:37):
They remodeled Helen in I want to say the forties
or fifties maybe, and they said, you know, we're losing
everything here. The business is what you know, we got
to come up with something, and so they refashioned the city,
this little town as a Bavarian village and it's wonderful,
it really is, but it's not as authentic as it
(12:01):
could be. It looks it, it just isn't. And so
as charming as it was, it could be much better.
There was only like one store, like I said, that
was selling authentic cuckoo clocks, which is you know, it
just it reminded me of my mom. My mom had
one of those, and they were cool to look at.
And then there was one shop that was authentic you know,
(12:22):
Dutch everything from porcelain dishes to you know, different kinds
of specialty foods what you'd find in the Netherlands, and
so that was kind of cool. But most of the
shops there were just kind of yeah. And so we
left there and went to Babyland Hospital that's where cabbage
(12:45):
patch dolls are. Had an awesome time there. It's this
big old plant, like this massive building that sells cabbage
patch and it's the Cabbage Patch HQ, and you go
in and you get the history of cabbage patch, self
guided kind of thing, and then you can shop. Man,
(13:06):
we shopped for our granddaughters. I don't buy dolls for
my grandsons. Nope, not gonna happen. They can get a
g I Joe and they're older. But no, no, no, no.
We went. We had a great time doing that. Then
we went to Atlanta and did the Georgia Aquarium and
the light show at the Botanical Gardens, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens,
(13:27):
and it was delightful. We stayed at Margeritaville, a Wyndham
type location right on Centennial Square where the Olympic Park
is right there, overlooking everything, and it was an apartment.
It was it was spectacular. We had a view. We
were a ninth floor view of the city, the Square,
(13:48):
Georgia Aquarium, the Koch Museum, the College Football Hall of Fame,
all of it right there and it was awesome. And
then we came home. So yeah, just had just a
wonderful time. Did a little behind the scene thing at
the Georgia Aquarium, a couple of different little encounters and
tours and and that was a lot of fun. So,
you know, when my wife and I just hang we
(14:09):
just have a good time. And so I haven't picked
up the golf clubs in a few weeks. And just
just kind of chilling and working getting some projects done.
You'd be very proud. Rewired some things fixed my vacuum
cleaner and old uric vacuum. I just decided I'm gonna
fix it. I did. He's very proud of me. Yeah,
(14:31):
that's kind of how it works anyway. Twenty eight past,
We've got the big stories in the press box. Next
here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thirty six
past the our friends, it's great to be back with you.
(14:53):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's osay, I'm Preston,
Doctor Joe Camps. Next hour, we'll talked to Irishchefell in
the third hour. This week, we've already got lined up
Kat Kamick, US Congresswoman. We will hear what's going on
in the House with the vote on the speaker and
the spending, and I mean there's a lot to talk about.
(15:15):
We'll also talk with US Senator Tommy Tuberville this week
about he had some spicy comments about ESPN and its
decision in how it covered the Sugar Bowl, and we'll
talk about that some today. But the big stories in
the press box, obviously what happened on New Year's Day.
(15:37):
I'm not going to spend much time about New Orleans
because all you need to know about New Orleans is
it wasn't an accident. It's so interesting to me how
the father of one of the victims of twenty two
year old young man Kareem Badawi, freshman at University of
Alabama graduated from Episcopal School of Baton Rouge. He his
(16:03):
dad said, it is with great sadness and grief and
with heartfelts, with heart satisfied with a law's decision and destiny,
I announced the death of my son, who died early
today in the morning as a result of a tragic accident.
It was no accident, sir. And and if you want
to extend grace, because maybe he thought it was an
(16:23):
accident at that point, or you can just simply say
that he just was not willing to call it what
it was. It was a terrorist attack by a radical,
radicalized Islamist. And you know what we're learning is and
if you listen to this guy who was the killer,
(16:47):
the before and the after, what in the world happened,
We're starting to understand a little bit more about his radicalization.
His brother's half brother's family saying this does not present Islam,
and that's ignorance, because it, in fact does. It represents
the fullness of Islam. And I'll remind you of something
(17:09):
in islamist once said, who came to know Christ as
his Lord and savior? He said, I became aware of
the fact that Muhammad asked me to die for him,
and Jesus died for me. And there's the difference. Jesus
(17:29):
doesn't ask me to die for him. He asked me
to die to self, but not to personally offer my
life and to take the lives of others. That's pure Islam. See,
anyone that doesn't agree with the actions of what we
call radicalized Islam is in apostasy. They're backsliden. They would
(17:51):
be targeted by an Islamist right after you and I.
But the bigger story there that we'll spend a little
more time on today is the show unfolds, and we've
got developments that I'll share in the third hour is
the Las Vegas situation. That one is very, very different.
That was not a terrorist attack. We're getting information about
(18:16):
the guy, you know, Did he kill himself? It would
seem likely, but there's also the possibility that the guy
was killed and that his car was programmed to show
up at the Trump Plaza, because that's what Tesla trucks
(18:38):
can do. They can go to a predetermined location on
their own. Is that what? It's not likely that that's
what happened. This appears to be an intentional suicide and
attention getting event. But there's a lot to this. There's
(19:00):
a lot to this onion to peal back and to
get to and so we'll do that this morning. Just
know this, that story has yet to be told, and sadly,
I don't know how much of the honest truth we
will get anytime, real soon, but it appears as though
bits and pieces are getting out. Forty one passed the hour.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
All right, so we've got a sentencing for Donald Trump
on the tenth end of the week. New York Supreme
Court Justice Juan Mershawan And don't think Supreme Court. I
used to think, well, New York Supreme courts like our
Supreme It's not. It's very different New York. What a
(20:05):
shocking thing that is the word is that he is
going to cite presidential immunity and that a sentence of
(20:28):
unconditional discharge is the most viable solution to ensure finality
and allow the defendant to pursue his appellate options. Trump
is going to appeal. He should now, Lest you write
that off as just well, you're a Trump supporter, let
me quote CNN senior legal analyst Ellie Honig, no fan
(20:53):
of Trump. Virtually, there's virtually no one on CNN except
I think Scott Jennings, who is a fan of Trump.
This is what she did. She broke down the reasons
why this thing is not gonna Trump's gonna win this
on appeal. One her words, the judge donated money, plain
(21:14):
violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges for making
political donations to a pro Biden anti Trump political operation. Two.
Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly
Democrat county, it is a fact that I have sued
Trump over one hundred times. Three. Most importantly, of the
DA's charges against Trump pushed the outer boundaries of the
law and due process.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Four.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The charges against Trump are obscure and nearly entirely unprecedented.
In fact, no state prosecutor, New York or Wyoming or anywhere,
has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or
predicate state crime against anyone for anything. None ever. Five,
(21:56):
the DA inflated misdemeanors, the statutes of limitations and electure
shocked them back to life. It's her words here by
a legend. The falsification of business records was committed with
intent to commit another crime. Six get the idea what
we're going we're going with here. Inexcusably, the DA refused
(22:19):
to specify what those unlawful means actually were, and the
judge declined to force them to pony up until right
before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to
provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him
in advance of trial. Six sorry, Seven, In these key respects,
(22:43):
the charges against Trump aren't just unusual. There bespoke seemingly
crafted individually for the former president nobody else. And eight.
The Manhattan DA's employees reportedly have called this the zombie
case because of various legal infirmities, including its bases our
charging mechanism. But it's better characterized as the Frankenstein case,
(23:05):
cobbled together with ill fitting parts into an ugly awkward
but more or less functioning contraption that just might ultimately
turn on its creator. That's the CNN legal analyst Ellie
Honig nailing down why this case has nothing to it.
And that's what I keep trying to tell people. He's
(23:26):
a convicted he's a felt. No, he's not, he's not.
This is this is the this is the same fabrication
that he endured for four years known as the Russian
collusion hoax. It's made up. Did Trump pay off Stormy Daniels? Yes,
(23:47):
it's called a non disclosure agreement. Guess what I've signed one.
Anyone who works for this company signs an NDA. There
are things that proprietary to iHeart that I can't talk
about on the air. They have to do with the app,
they have to do with how they do what they do.
(24:08):
It's internal. Anyone with in the professional world, not anyone.
Most have had to sign something like this if you've
ever been under contract. Forty seven past the hour. When
we get back, the FBI decides to punch itself in
the face, we'll explain. So Congress is going to hear
(24:40):
a proposed transports ban. Bill well, praise the Lord and
pass the biscuits. It's about time. Hey, I dropped a
line that might have made you chuckle a little bit.
The FBI decides to punch itself in the face. That's
not mine. That belongs to Matt Vespa of town All.
(25:01):
He's a pretty clever guy. You realize that the FBI
corralled hundreds of people that were at the Capitol on
January sixth, based on like their clothing. They managed to
(25:21):
get even even though most of them did not commit
any crime whatsoever. They were let in, They were allowed
onto the grounds, they were allowed in. Some some broke in.
One person lost their life. The person responsible for killing
that quote protester an Air Force veteran. She was killed
(25:46):
by a guy who's been rewarded and promoted for violating
the law, her civil rights and murdering her. He did
not follow protocols. He was not in d His life
was not in Dan You're, nor was anyone else's at
that point, But we'll set that aside. Do you remember
(26:07):
the pipe bomber? January sixth someone placed pipe bombs outside
the RNC and DNC buildings. Apparently we have an update
on the bomber from January sixth. Ready, this person is
(26:33):
about five foot seven inches. That's it. Five years ago, yesterday.
This person's on videotape planting bombs. They've released the videotape.
(26:57):
There's also indications that this person had a discussion with
Capitol police that were in the area. Just saying this.
The person on the tape is shown to have interacted
with Capitol police. Now what was said, was it just?
(27:18):
I mean, do no idea? But five years later, here's
what we get from the FBI. Five foot seven? Really?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Whoa?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You guys have prosecuted people and put them in prison
who walked on the grounds. This person dropped pipe bombs,
and you've given us five years later they're five foot seven.
That's why Matt Vesper wrote the headline, FBI decides to
punch itself in the face again with this update on
the January sixth bomber. It took five years to release
(27:56):
the height of the person. Five years. Laura Powell posts online.
I don't know if this makes me a conspiracy theorist,
but when the FBI says they don't know what happened
with respect to an apparent terrorist attack, but they're pretty
(28:17):
sure the perpetrator acted alone, I tend not to trust them.
She of course talking about New Orleans. This is why
we need totally new leadership, and we got to start
over if we want to keep the FBI. FBI has
a place not operating the way it is now. I
don't know if you saw the ATF. The head of
(28:38):
ATF already quit. That's good news, all right? Our two,
can you believe it? Our two is next. I have
to remind myself Joe Biden is not running this country
(29:03):
in any way, shape or form, and likely hasn't been
running this country for four years. It's been Barack Obama
and Barack's people. Welcome Friends. Second Hour back Live with
You The Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's ose, I
am Preston. We have documented how democrats, liberals, leftists, how
(29:25):
they separate themselves from the rational, clear thinking people. They
want to control your choices, all of them. It's so funny.
People point to abortion and say, see, see, all you
conservatives want to do is control people. Well, we're actually
(29:47):
simply defending the life of the unborn child, so it
can make all the choices it wants to make, male
or female. But lefties want to tell you what food
you can eat. They want to tell you what cars
you can drive. They want to tell you what guns
(30:09):
you can own, if any at all, how many rounds
it can fire. They want to tell you what kind
of lights to put in your light fixtures. And that's
what they're doing now, fourteen days away from being out
(30:29):
of office. The Biden administration, which of course is not Joe,
because Joe's clueless. He's out asking Jilly for some ice cream.
He literally doesn't. He has spent more than half of
his time in office on vacation. What a gig, walking
(30:53):
around being clueless, falling down and not having anywhere to go,
but getting ice cream Sundays whenever. I now he's banning
certain water heaters, certain natural gas water heaters that are
(31:15):
tankless water heaters.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
I own one.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
They want to take them off the market by twenty
twenty nine to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Consumers would therefore
be forced to buy more expensive models that meet the
criteria that do you really think Joe Biden sat down
and said, this is what we need. The mathematics, the
(31:41):
engineering determined that we need this percentage of reduction. And
come on, don't pull my legs. I'm tall enough. So
now they're looking at banning gas tankless water heaters that
(32:02):
they're more efficient, they last longer, they are it's one
of the best investments I've ever made. When I have,
for example, when my daughter and three grandchildren visited, there
was no worry about, Hey, I need you to wait
a half hour to take a bathroom a shower. Go
(32:25):
take your bath and shower whenever boom boom boom, two
at a time, right after another. It doesn't matter. And
guess what, when no one's using hot water, it's not
sitting making hot water, which is what a standard water
heater does. It constantly reheats the water when it cools down,
so it's running. Whether you're a home or not, it's
(32:47):
gonna be cold next few days. Your water heater, even
those that are insulated with those little jackets that you
put on a standard water heater, it will constantly be
reheating water that you're not even used. And you're paying
for that. See my system. When I want hot water,
that's when I pay for hot water. If not, I
(33:07):
don't pay for it. I don't pay for it all
day long. When I'm away on a trip, you have
to turn off your breaker if you remember to do that.
If not, you're just paying for your water to get
heated for no one to use it.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Me.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I don't have to worry about that at all. But
this is another example of how lefties want to control
your life. They would Now why he would do this,
knowing Trump is going to roll this thing right off
and back it down within days of taking office. I
(33:40):
have no understanding. I don't know why he's doing this.
What is the point I gave some thought to this
whole global warming thing yesterday. I'm going to get to
that here in a second ten past the hour. It's
a fraud, and I'm trying to figure out a way
to better describe it. Who's just talking about the fact
(34:04):
that if you're the third or fourth person taking a
shower with a standard water heater, you know what I'm
talking about. You you better be a member of the
polar bear club, because you're gonna you're that You're that
soul that's likely going to get the cold water. It's
gonna go from hot to getting warm. Now it's getting lukewarm. Now,
(34:28):
it's getting room temperature. Now it's getting cold. Got waters off.
You're grabbing the towel just to warm up, and Heaven
help you. If you've got someone that likes to take
a just a long hot shower, then't didn't get the
(34:49):
second person's toast. Anyway, Tankler's water heaters are genius. I
could not be happier with mine. I had my friends
with White's Plumbing install it, my goodness, ten twelve years
ago something like that, and it's just I run it
(35:14):
off propane. Now, I don't have natural gas. I have propane,
and so I have two fairly sizable propane tanks. I
don't have the big pill shaped ones. I have the
ones that stand up and down that are pill shaped,
and very very very very happy with them. Anyway, that's
what you get control. Here's what I was working on.
(35:45):
I said to my wife yesterday on the way to church.
I'm looking for a way to describe the foolishness of
global warming. Okay, we're getting hit. Twenty seven states right
now are in blizzard and freezing conditions, and I mean
vehicles falling off roads, and you know, black ice in
(36:06):
residential neighborhoods. And if you've never driven in that stuff,
count yourself. It's fortunate because black ice is a real problem.
You don't know it's there, and all of a sudden,
your wheels hit it and you are free falling right
down the road and you're hoping, you're you're hoping. There's
not much you can do. When you're young, you learn
to drive on that stuff a little bit, but it's
(36:29):
it is what it is. And you see this, these
ridiculous accidents and so forth. And I'm thinking to myself, Okay,
if we're if the planet's warming by a tenth of
a degree over the next fifty years, okay, so it's
going to be twenty nine point nine degrees as opposed
(36:52):
to twenty nine point eight degrees whatever. And the only
thing I can think of is is is claiming that
water is becoming more wet. Why, It's just it's staying
moist longer, Water's becoming more wet. And we need to
(37:18):
create an industry that you and I can invest in
and scam people on because water's becoming more wet. It's absurd,
it's just and that's and you laugh at that as
well you should, but that's what you should be doing
about all of this global warming nonsense. Al Gore was
(37:40):
smart enough to recognize the Earth is just going to
be the earth, and he's turned this into an industry that. Oh,
by the way, he doesn't live by any of what
he's demanding of you, or any of them demand of you.
You hear them all excuse themselves, from Bill Gates to
John Carrey to Al Gore. They they need to fly
(38:03):
private airplanes because they're spreading the word, so it's okay
for them. They're offsetting their carbon output by the amount
of savings they're creating of CO two around the world.
And I still am not convinced that most people understand
that CO two is a vital part of our atmosphere.
(38:26):
We have to have it COO. Now that's another story.
Carbon monoxide that'll kill you. Don't believe me. Turn on
your car in your garage. Let me know, you'll be
sleeping all the rest of your You won't be sleeping
for the rest of your life. Your life will be over.
That's how people kill themselves. They put a garden hose
(38:49):
on the back of their their exhaust pipe and they
pop it into their car and they sit in their car,
they turn it on and they kill themselves with carbon monoxide. Dioxide, amazingly,
is wonderful for plants. That's why the planet greens up
when things warm a little bit. And oh, by the way,
(39:10):
cold kills people. Warmth not so much. Warmth helps farming.
Cold not so much. Warmth gets you a little sweaty,
give you that, but it doesn't kill like cold does.
What you gotta be worried about is when we're gonna
get a little dip in the temperature, you know, like
(39:31):
they predicted the ice age, the we're gonna have another
ice age that was predicted in the sixties and seventies. Anyway,
seventeen pass, so much to talk about.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Stick around.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Twenty two past the hour Goo, Good morning friends. Yes,
we're back live. Fired up about being back in the
studio with you. Jose over there running things in Studio
one A. I am here in Studio one b first
live show of the year show fifty two to ninety one.
Just fourteen days away from the end of the Biden administration,
(40:19):
ESPN caught doing ESPN things. College football playoff Notre Dame
and Georgia. Sorry Georgia fans, it was postponed after the
terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day. They
did the right thing. They did the right thing for
a lot of reasons. What did ESPN do. ESPN opted
(40:47):
not to broadcast the moment of silence or the national anthem.
How in God's name does that happen? Now, you should
know that apart from my dad's career as a sportscaster
and sitting in on several production meetings as a member
of a broadcast team with him, I was a play
(41:11):
by play announcer for Fox and sat in quite a
few production meetings myself, and I can tell you for
a fact that was a decision that was intentionally made
because the locating of the national anthem and a moment
(41:35):
of silence, the script that the PA announcer reads, all
of that stuff is in the hands of the producers.
They know exactly what's going to happen and when, and
they decided in this era where everything is covered, I mean,
there's a pregame show that lasts three hours, for Pete's sake,
on most days of the college football season, right college
(41:59):
game Day has its own version the Big Kickoff Show
or the Big Show or whatever. It's two hours. They
only missed something if they choose to miss something. So
instead of maybe the most important moment of the Sugar
(42:20):
Bowl pausing for a moment of silence in the community
where it happened that game was in New Orleans, and
then playing the national anthem because it was a terrorist
attack on this country. ESPN said, Nah, we'll take a
(42:45):
rain check on that one. Tommy Tuberville had some things
to say. It was my distinct honor to have coached
in three Sugar Bowls during my coaching career. American sports,
especially college football, have always been a patriotic tradition that
brings all Americans together. Unfortunately, ESPN, who is owned by Disney,
(43:07):
gave in to the woke. We will have Tommy Tubberville
on the show Thursday to discuss. But that's not all.
The CEO of All State puts out an announcement that
I guess we did need to see Wednesday, tragedies struck
(43:31):
the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims
and their families. We also need to be stronger together
by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Now, there
are some people that have heard that statement and said
there's nothing wrong with that statement. I disagree, and All
State disagrees. All State was so embarrassed by what their
(43:54):
CEO said. That statement was pulled from all social media
of all state as if it never happened. They aren't
proud of it, and why should they be, because in
that statement, what he's suggesting is that what happened in
New Orleans is a result of our addiction to divisiveness
and negativity. W Bro, No, what happened was because of
(44:21):
Islama's fanaticism radicalization of Islam inside our country. From someone who, oh,
by the way, is served in our military. What putting
those the events of New Orleans in the exact same
(44:44):
sentence with the words overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity,
suggests that the divisiveness in negativity is the reason for it. No,
it's not. It's radicalized Islam, you fool. That's the reason it.
People who hate this country. Now, you could draw a
(45:05):
pretty good line between that hatred and some people that
are citizens of this country that occupy certain parts of
the political demographic. You could make that line pretty linear.
But wow, twenty eight past the hour, back with the
big stories in the press box. Related theme. Next on
(45:28):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
I hope you enjoyed the Twelve Days of Preston got
some tremendous feedback on that and would love to hear
from you if you enjoyed the Twelve Days or if
you didn't, I'd love to hear from you, Preston at
iHeartRadio dot com. Give me your thoughts on what we did.
I overwhelming. I didn't get one negative email about it.
In fact, I'm gonna share a few thoughts that you
(46:01):
had in just a little bit. Doctor Joe Camp standing by.
But first, big stories in the press box. Obviously we
know what happened in New Orleans on what three hours
into the New year, New Orleans time, four hours and
fifteen minutes into the new year our time, and it
was an Islamic extremist, someone that was radicalized here in
(46:25):
this country, which is horrifying. You know, if you think
that this kind of thing only happens overseas, you're mistaken. Now,
this guy had a troubled life, divorced, apparently was facing
maybe some foreclosure. You know, there's things we don't know yet.
But like all people like this, we're not going to
use his name, and I'm not going to use the
(46:46):
name of the guy in Las Vegas. There are a
lot of questions about what happened in Las Vegas. He
was a Trump supporter, remember the military who we are
now learning there are things coming out about this particular
soldier because he was on leave from active duty. He
(47:06):
was allegedly couldn't wait to be deployed again. But apparently
some things were unraveling. He had engaged in, allegedly some infidelity.
His wife confronted him right after Christmas, and that's what
led to him hitting the road. He did use the
same rental service that the guy in New Orleans used
to obtain a truck, an electric truck. The guy in
(47:31):
New Orleans did not use a Tesla cyber truck to
my knowledge, but he used an electric truck, and the
guy in Las Vegas used a Tesla. They runted through
the same company. But there doesn't appear to be any
connection between them whatsoever. This you know, it appears as
though the guy killed himself, but you know, because apparently
(47:54):
he was a whistleblower or was about to be. And
that's what we're going to spend some time on next hour.
Is some of the information now coming out that has
it's pretty much been confirmed, come from him. It was
sent to a intelligence analyst named Sam Shoemate and it
(48:17):
was discussed on a Sean Ryan podcast video podcast that
is seen on YouTube. Sean Ryan is a former Navy
seal and the two of them sat down for about
an hour and fifteen minute chat. The final ten minutes
of that are pretty pretty interesting. Spent some time on
(48:42):
that yesterday as I was prepping for the show. But
we'll discuss some of the things that are coming out
as it relates to the note, see if there are
some dots worth connecting. We're obviously we're not investigators in
all of this, but we're i think charged with being
responponsible with information that we are privy to and can
(49:05):
try to offer our own thoughts on it. So that's
what we will do. Forty minutes past and when we
come back, doctor Joe Camp standing by with our first
healthy expectations of the year. Well as the kids like
to say, it's been a minute back with us, doctor
(49:27):
Joe Camp, some healthy expectations. It's brand new year, Doctor Camps.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
I'm good, Preston, how are you today?
Speaker 1 (49:33):
I'm terrific, good, good, good.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
You know. I hope everyone had merry Christmas. And a
happy New Year and off to start running and this
morning usually this time of year, you know what goes along.
All of a sudden we get the pop enviruses and
can cause issues. But however, the CDC monitors wastewater around
(49:59):
the the country, and UH, in their wastewater monitoring system,
they have found that the levels of many viruses that
we are familiar with, UH are increased. So that suggests
that it's increasing in the population. And UH just wanted
to UH, I know most of us know how to
deal with this, but UH, some of the virus is
(50:22):
mentioned where the covid virus, the noravirus, rs V virus,
and the respiratories and visia virus is one I wanted
to talk about. A lot of people don't really know
what that is. But that's a virus that cannot can't
attack younger children. UH. And it can cause the usual
symptoms of viruses, but certainly, UH, if the child's not
(50:43):
getting better, I would suggest they seek medical attention because UH,
this can be debilitating for children. UH. And so I
wanted to warn you of this issue. Now. One of
the things that that that that you know, school is
opening up again, and you know what happens. When that happens,
present people get to sneezing, coffin playing together, and all
(51:07):
of a sudden, with these increased levels in the wastewater system,
that suggested me that it's going to be something that
we need to keep our eye on now. Fortunately, most
of us get through these issues. I will alarm you
that if you have sort of a compromised health pattern,
or you are disabled in some form of fashion, have
(51:32):
illnesses are ready from chronic disease, or if you have
young children and infants, this is the population where these things,
if not taken care of appropriately, may move on to
develop pneumonia and ultimately can cause a loss of life
in the elderly. So it's on the rise this year.
(51:52):
I just wanted to give a little warning for this.
This time of year, I always seem to find some
hands sandy, just any type of application topically to your hands.
If you do have the virus or are not feeding well,
I suggest you wear a mask. But certainly we all
(52:13):
know how to deal with this. But I just wanted
to remind our listening audience that already in the wastewater
contamination system there's been a rise in these four viruses
detected already and that's how the CDC sort of monitors
what effects that we're going to have in the coming year.
So just a little alert and alarm. We all know
(52:37):
how to deal with this issue. I would hope that
we would pay attention, watch our children and be ready
for this because it looks like we may be in
for big surprise this year with the rise in all
of these four viruses. So that's my message this morning.
I hope we take heed against and happy new year.
(53:01):
I look forward to discovering and discussing a number of
issues as it relates to healthcare as we move along
this year.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
Boost your immune system exactly.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
A lot of vitamin C. Really watched the little babies
because those are the ones that you have to if
you have any questions, take the child in to get
them evaluated. That will be my message this morning.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
Good stuff, doctor Camps, Thank you sir.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
Happy present saying to you, but take care all.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Righty doctor Joe Camps with us this morning and again
boost that immune system. Big big believer in getting targeted
nutrition into your system because most of us are lacking
something that plays a role in keeping our immune system
built up. All right, forty six past the Hour, back
(53:52):
with more The Morning Show with Preston Scotten by request
and this is how I planned it. The twelve days
(54:14):
of Preston will be released on our podcast page. So
if you're subscribed to The Morning Show with Preston Scott
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And oh, by the way,
have you seen the redesign? Hello? The redesigned app is spectacular.
(54:38):
They you know what I love is when I don't
care who it is, when they don't just rush out
and tweak something. It's like I, honestly, I can't stand
phone companies, whether it's Samsung or Apple, because every year
it's another phone. It's another phone, it's another iHeart said,
(55:03):
let's let's just let's get it really redesigned. Let's not
do a little this and a little that, and you
know all anyone that does software will do a little
development here and there. But they did a redesign that
allows you to put presets in for the stations you
(55:26):
like to listen to, the things you like to listen to,
you can preset them where they're just right there on
the top of your page when you open up the app.
So you would obviously put first the Morning show with
Preston Scott. That would be the first thing you would
program and then you can go from there. But it's
(55:48):
totally redesigned with some tremendous features. I'll talk more about
those features over the next few weeks, but you need
to check it out anyway. Subscribe to the to the
Morning Show pot cast because we will start releasing the
Twelve Days of Preston so that you can go back
through the month of January February. And the way we
(56:08):
did it is each day was a day of the year,
a month of the year rather, so the first show
was January, the second show was February, the third show
is March, and so forth. We did do it Christmas
show because the fifth show was on Christmas Day. Marvin
Goldstein was joined me for that and so I just
(56:29):
I got a bunch of email and I just I
grabbed a few and for example, the final show featured oh,
I don't know, Justin Haskins, Peter Schweitzer, Glenn Beck, and
Mark Levin. Hello, Yeah, yeah, I did that, Roger wrote
(56:50):
in just finished listening to Glenn Beck interview. I have
thoroughly enjoyed the Twelve Days of Preston. Always liked your show,
but I have to say it's improved over the last
few years, and he says some very kind things. He said,
but the quality of interviews Glenn Beck, Peter Schweitzer, Jerome Hudson,
Justin Haskins, Robert Malone, et cetera. You asked some of
(57:10):
the most intelligent and useful questions. I absolutely love the
way you start the show with the Bible Verse, the
Manly minute. He mentions authors that I've had on the show,
Bob Drewy, Tom Claven, and Oh, by the way, Jose
got a Tom Claven signed book for Christmas, just saying, oh, yeah,
it's super awesome. Really appreciate it. Tombstone got a note
(57:36):
from from Tim with he said, it's hard to not
think you're talking live since they're so current. I had
a lot of people say they had to fight calling
in because they thought the show was live. Because of
the way that we put the thing together, and we
did it differently this year we did. I just so
(58:00):
many notes. The Jerry Kramer interview was awesome. I was
watching the Ice Bowl game with my dad in nineteen
sixty seven. He was so happy when Kramer threw the
perfect block that sprung Bart Starr into the end zone.
My dad passed away in nineteen sixty nine when I
was eight. This is still one of my favorite memories
to this day. Your interview with Jerry Kramer brought back
a flood of emotions and great memories. Thank you. Yeah, cool,
(58:27):
very cool. And so if you know would love to
hear from me, if you like the twelve days, we
are going to do it again. I will tell you
that I'll probably do it a little bit differently in
that I'll do the January show shortly after January as
opposed to waiting, just because it's a mountain of work
(58:49):
to produce one show. It just it's far more involved
to produce one of those shows than it is to
do a daily show. Far more work. So I'm glad
you enjoyed the work that we put in and that
it helped kind of capture the essence of the year
(59:09):
because the shows were in chronological order, so we unpacked
the year the way that the year was unpacked, and
the interviews kind of play out that way. So it
was a lot of fun doing the shows, keeping the
Christmas music in your ears for a few extra days.
And I hope you enjoyed it, but the response has
(59:34):
been overwhelming and we thank you for that. But I
wanted to let you know we will be releasing those
shows on our podcast page, so be looking forward to that.
And if you missed the final show with the big interviews,
you'll get a shot at him. And here we are
(01:00:05):
back live. After the twelve days of Preston. We have
returned to the studios and we are grateful to be
back with you. Thanks very much for joining us. I'm Preston.
He's Jose. It is Monday, January the sixth. We're in
the midst of the college football playoff, the first time
twelve teams have advanced to the playoff format. But we're
(01:00:28):
not really going to talk about that. We're going to
talk about our favorite team, Florida State Seminals. And I
know for some of you it's not your favorite team,
but that's okay. You'll indulge me. And joining me is
the managing editor of our source for all things FSU.
He is Irischaffel. Good morning, Ira, Happy.
Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
New Year, Happy New year, Preston. How are you.
Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
I'm doing well. The last time you and I visited,
Mike Norvel was in the process of assembling the top
portion of his staff, and now it's kind of filled
in from there. Let's start with your assessment of what
coach Norvelle has done to really transform this program in
a short period of weeks.
Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Yeah, I mean, this team already looks, you know, probably
sixty to seventy percent different than it did at the
end of last season, both from a roster standpoint and
a coaching standpoint. He brought in six new assistant coaches,
three on each side of the ball. Odell Hagen's longtime
defensive line coach, now is kind of stepped back into
(01:01:28):
a he's going to be associate head coach, but he
won't actually be coaching on the field a position like
he has some last you know, three decades. But you know,
an offense, you bring in Gus Malsan, who is the
head coach at UCF, and a couple of his assistants,
the offensive line coach and wide receivers coach coming with
him that had been with him before. On the defensive side,
you raided Nebraska. You brought into third defensive coordinator Tony White,
(01:01:54):
who's a really up and coming, you know, really highly
respected young defensive coordinator with two of his assistants, their
defensive line coach, and their safeties coach, and so now
you're messing them with a few of the holdovers. Micro
Bel's keeping probably close to half of his staff attack
from the past, but you're bringing in basically the leadership.
(01:02:16):
You know, on both sides of the ball, it's going
to be different. And then, like you said, the roster
is going to be very different. They you know, when
they signed twenty high school kids and now they've brought
in sixteen transfers. I think by the end of the
day it's going to be twenty or so transfers, and
so you know, close to half of this roster is
going to be different as well. So it's you know,
nobody wants to spend a lot of time remembering that
(01:02:37):
twenty twenty four team, and the good news is we
won't see much of it going forward.
Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
A right, let's take a second, because I think we'd
be remiss without acknowledging how different college football is right now,
twenty three hundred plus players went to the transfer portal.
It is eviscerated the bowl game process. What first, What
do you think I think there's a solution that needs
(01:03:04):
to take place with college football, because what's going on
right now is to me untenable. I don't think people
are going to watch games with these bowl games at all.
I think they're already skipping them. But give me your
thoughts on what we're seeing unfold and what you think
needs to happen.
Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
You know, it's funny a lot of times people the
first thing people have mentioned is NIL because you know,
this was all happening around the same time the NIL
was introduced, what players could get paid, what was also
with the unlimited transfers, And first, you know, first it
was going to be a one time transfer because you know,
again we all remember just six, seven, eight years ago,
(01:03:41):
and for most of our lives, if a player wanted
to transfer, he had to sit out a year, and
sometimes it was more than that if they were trying
to move in conference, and that was probably well not
probably that was not fair to the kids, because coaches
could leave and coach somewhere else the next year, but
players had to sit out a year. So they had
that one one time transfer role, and that seemed reasonable.
(01:04:03):
But then they also then they went ahead, they got sued,
they went ahead and changed it to unlimited transfers and
that's really the biggest issue is you know, players can
transfer every single year. You know, one of the players
somebody asked me about on our message boards yesterday was
Tummy Why, a defensive lineman that came in last year
as a transfer. He has since transferred again. He's in
(01:04:25):
his fourth school in four years. He started out of Kentucky,
then went to Maryland, then came to Florida State, and
now next year he's going to be at Illinois and
so that that's probably the extreme example. But yeah, you
end up with what ends up happening as these coaches
end up having to recruit throwing players to stay. Sometimes
they have to figure out ways to get them more
(01:04:46):
ni on money this day, or you just end up,
you know, losing guys from year to year. Now the
positive side to that for Florida State is they've been
able to probably usher out some players. In the old days,
you have to keep guys on your royster for four
or five years, even if you didn't like them. You
have a season like last year two and ten, and
Mike Rvell can encourage some guys to leave. So there's
(01:05:08):
the positive to it. I do think there's a It
seems like with the changes that are coming to reforms
that are coming with the House Settlement that's that's expected
to be passed this year. We don't know for sure,
but it's expected to be passed in April. There may
be some some limitations enacted on the unlimited transfers, but
you know, it's hard to put the genie back in
(01:05:29):
the bottle.
Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Irishafell with me from war chant dot com ten past
the hour. More to come on the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. He's a managing editor war chant dot com.
(01:05:53):
You can subscribe and get intel that you will find
no other place war chant dot com. Irish Ira, if
I were to suggest to you that it is inevitable
that since college athletes and let's just stay focused on football,
want to be like professionals and want to be paid,
(01:06:13):
they're going to be forced to sign contracts and if
a coach leaves, so be it. Like the NFL when
there's a coaching change, the players don't get to just
pack up and leave two They have to honor their contract.
I see that as an inevitability if they want to
cause college football to continue to exist.
Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
Yeah, and it sounds like from you know, talking to
Michael Afford, FSI's athletic director. He foresees something like that coming,
you know. He told me recently he thinks there's going
to be multi year contracts with players. Now, when you
sign a player, it will be a multi year contract. Now,
if another team wants to take them away, they'll have
(01:06:55):
to buy them out of their contract, just like you
would with a coach. So for example, this is hypothetical.
So you've signed a player to a three year contract
and he's making a you know, and some people listening
to this will fall out out of their chairs. But
say he's making five hundred thousand dollars a year or
whatever it is, which happens now, then the other school
(01:07:16):
would then have to pay you that money. Uh, and
it it would affect their salary cap. There actually will
be a salary cap in place. So yeah, that's that's
what they're trying to get to. But again, I think
some of the challenges are from a you know, and
the lawyers in the audience will understand better than me,
but you know, there's there's going to be you know,
challenges from uh, you know, legally when it comes to
(01:07:39):
dealing with these guys because they're not employees yet, and
then you've got other, you know, legal hurdles that they
have to get past. There's not collective bargaining in college
football yet, so there's a lot of things they have
to get past. But that is where they're trying to
get to.
Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
You wrote, I thought a very insightful piece back maybe
ten days two weeks ago, analyzing the recruiting process of
the train transfers and so forth. You made a distinction
in how coach Norvale and his staff are approaching transfers
this time around. I'd like you to share that with
our audience.
Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's just been a one
hundred and av degree reversal and in some ways reversal
back to what they had done before Mike Norvel's first
few years in the transfer portal. You know, if you
look at last year's transfer class, they brought seventeen transfers,
but the vast majority of those guys had never really
played much on college football. A lot of them were
highly touted recruits when they went to their former schools.
(01:08:32):
You know, you think about Marvin Jones Junior, and Earl
Little and Jalen Brown and a bunch of these guys
who signed with their previous schools like Alabama, Georgia or
LSU and were highly recruited out of high school, and
we're so highly recruited Floris, they couldn't get them coming
out of high school. Well, then they went to their
colleges and didn't really do a whole lot. But when
(01:08:55):
they went in the transfer portal, Mike Norvel was attracted
to them. It seemed like because they were highly touted
recruits and certainly we'll figure out a way to get
them to play better than they did these other schools.
And it didn't pan out almost in any of the situations. Well,
this year they've kind of gone back to getting guys
that played a ton of college football. And if you
(01:09:15):
look across the board now, I mean they probably have
twelve or thirteen or fourteen guys that they brought in
now who were starters at their previous schools. Most of
them were starters for multiple years. And so now you're
bringing in guys who you know. Yesterday they brought in
a receiver, Squirrel White, who you know a couple of
years ago Tennessee, you know, had almost a thousand yard
(01:09:36):
receiving and that's like across the board. Every position that
they've improved, they've brought in guys who's not only played
college football at their previous schools, but actually started and
were very productive. So even if it was at a
smaller school, maybe you brought in a couple of guys
from UCF and you know, Coastal Carolina schools like that,
but they played and they've been on the field, they
(01:09:56):
know what it's played, and I think that's getting back
to what they've done in the.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Irish Fail with me from war Chant dot com. When
we come back, we're gonna change gears. FSU men's basketball
is off to a nice start to the season, but
there's an uncomfortable spotlight on the program as well. We'll
talk about that next here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Back with Irisha Felotwarchant dot com. All right, Ira,
(01:10:33):
let's talk about what's somewhat uncomfortable. FSU men's basketball off
to a respectable, nice start for the season compared to
the last year or so, but all of a sudden,
we know about a lawsuit filed by former players against
head coach Leonard Hamilton. What's the assertion here that's being
(01:10:53):
made against coach ham.
Speaker 6 (01:10:56):
Yeah, you know, I always try to remind people anytime
a lawsuit comes up, and I'm I'm sure many of
your listeners will know this. Most of your listeners will
know this, But you know, it's when when a lawsuit
is filed, that's one side of the story, just like
if somebody gets arrested, that's one side of the story.
You know. Leonard Hamilton will file responses, attorneys will file
a response. But the allegation is that there were six
(01:11:17):
players on the team from last year that said they
were promised nil money by Leonard Hamilton that he said
his associates were going to come up with and they
never received it. Now, you know, it's not that they
never got nil money. You know, Rising Sphere, which is
one of the collectives that supports the FSU athletics, from
what I understand, you know, did did provide anil payments
(01:11:38):
to these players. They did get some of the money
that they In fact, from what I understand, all the
signed contracts that they had were fulfilled. But they're saying
there was an oral agreement with Leonard Hamilton on top
of that to get them more money. They're each saying
they were promised two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
which seems exorbitant for some of the players mentioned. But anyway,
(01:12:00):
they're saying that, you know, he promised it and never delivered.
Leonard Hamilton won't comment on it. He just said it's
you know, it's a legal matter. He has to have
his attorneys will respond in court, so we'll have to
see what his response is. As far as how it
affects this team, it's hard to say. You know, they
that none of the players on the current team or
part of that. The team went out and played Saturday
(01:12:21):
and played one of the better games of the year.
They got to blow out win in a conference game
against Syracuse. So, you know, I don't know how much
it's going to change things right away. And it's a
legal matter, so who knows how long it'll take to
get resolved. But obviously it's a black guy for Leonard
Hamilton is a guy who has had a you know,
really squeaky clean career, yes throughout you know, his entire career.
Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
Are they claiming that they were each owed a quarter
of a million dollars or that's the collected amount in total.
Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
They're saying every player was promised two hundred fifty thousand dollars,
which and again, you know, and it's hard to give
people perspective of what that means. I would just tell
people that there are you know, there are players that
make more than that in college basketball. There are players
that make a million dollars two million dollars a year
in college basketball if they're elite, elite players. But players
(01:13:12):
that are on a terrible team that only average four
or five points a game aren't usually making two hundred
free doAnd dollars. And that's a lot of these thousands tastes.
But you know, if Leonard Hamilton told them that, and
they can prove it, that's one thing. You know, there
are some text messages in the lawsuit that make it
seem like you know that, but nothing from Leonard Hamilton
in those text messages talking about those amounts. So we'll
(01:13:36):
see whether or not they can improve it. We'll see
whether or not the court. Let's just move forward. Once
Leonard Hamilton moves to dismiss it, which I'm sure he will,
but you know, again, it's just it's a it's a
black guy for a coach that hasn't had a lot
of them at least when it comes to off the
court matters.
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
How much do you think will that play a role?
The fact that in his career, Leonard Hamilton has had
an extremely good record, not not wins and losses, so
much as his guys graduate his you know, I mean,
he's he's run a program that's been above reproach.
Speaker 6 (01:14:09):
Well, there's no question about that, and there's in the thing.
And what the one of the saddest parts about it
is Leonard Hamilton and his players have been so close together,
like he's had such great relations with those players going
back fifty years. I mean, there are guys that played
for him at Austin p Tho's guys that played from
Kentucky decades ago who come back and visit him all
the time. Players on this there's a player on this
(01:14:31):
Florida State that left before the transfer portal, uh Terren Shannon,
who left and went to a VCU and you know,
basically left Florida State and the Lurks because they were
counting on him. And from what I understand, when he
you know, wanted to come back and just kind of
use the facility or hang out like Leonard Hamilton brought
them back like a family member that he wasn't happy with.
(01:14:52):
I mean, he's just always had these close, close relationships,
so to have a bunch of his players last year
suing him is very strange. Now, the woman I would
say is, you know, he is at the end of
his career. This is a changing landscape, this nil and
a transfer portal and all this is very different. So
perhaps he acted in a way he's never really acted
before because this world has changed so quickly and so dramatically.
(01:15:15):
But the other part of it is, you know, Leonard Hamilton,
you know, might be in the last year of his
coaching career. Maybe he has another year, maybe he doesn't.
But you know, this lawsuit may not even be resolved
by the time he's done coaching. So it's it's we'd
a weird time in sports. And this is very, like
you said, very out of character for Leonard Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
It just smacks me as one of those lawsuits that
you file to try to get a settlement.
Speaker 6 (01:15:39):
There are a lot of people that feel that way. Yeah,
we'll have to see.
Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
All right, Ira, Thanks as always, I appreciate your time,
my friend.
Speaker 6 (01:15:46):
Thanks press to take care.
Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
Ira chavelle with us from more chant dot Com my
guest twenty seven minutes past the hour. It is the
third hour already back live of the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.
Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Him as your uncle, Preston the relative you actually enjoy
having around and not just at the holidays. This is
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Have a new blog up during the New Year's Resolution
some advice, aim Low. You know you know the deal
about resolutions right. First of all, that you have to
do something for three to four weeks regularly, routinely for
(01:16:47):
it to become a habit. You have to commit to it,
and that a lot of people just they take on
too much, just too much. So I have advice courtesy
of Olive and Mabel the Two Very Good Dogs of
(01:17:09):
Andrew Cotter, and it's just it's a short two minute
clip that's just kind of funny because I think those
dogs are hilarious and they're a thing. I have his book.
I have Andrew Cotter's book Two Very Good Dogs, and
it's it's yeah, it's in my library at home, and
I'm very proud of that book. But the dogs are adorable,
(01:17:30):
and well, i'll tell you what it is going to
be a rough day when Olive passes on, all was
getting a little gray around the mouth, black lab and
then Mabel is a younger yellow Lab and m m
m m. Yeah, all right, big stories in the press box.
(01:17:53):
Those are not the big stories. But it is a
blog that is available to you right now. The suspect,
we can take that word out of the equation. The
guy behind the explosion of the Tesla truck in front
of a Trump Las Vegas hotel. He's a Special Forces soldier.
(01:18:13):
He was. There's there's everything flying around. We're going to
get to that here in a second. The developments here
there are there are reports that he and his wife
were going to be divorcing because his wife claims infidelity
on his part. There's now another reports coming out saying
(01:18:38):
that the sun isn't his, that their child they shared
is not his DNA. I have no idea if there's
accuracy to that. There's a lot being floated around. What
we do know though, is that there there's more to
this story. Was it a terrorist attack? In my opinion
(01:19:00):
based on what I've read, No, what was it? It
was a guy that decided that he was going to
do something dramatic to draw attention to his whistleblowing. Well,
was he officially a whistleblower? Not yet, but apparently that's
what this was about. We'll share why, We'll share some
(01:19:25):
of his note that he has allegedly written, and the
circumstances by which we know anything about this note. We'll
get to that in just a moment. Here. It's going
to be tinfoil popcorn time in just a couple of minutes.
But the guy was a Trump supporter. He was hardcore
(01:19:46):
special Ops, green Bray, he was special Forces. He was
in it to win it. He's that guy. He's the
g I Joe and was troubled by some things. What
I'm going to share in just a moment. I don't
know if it's all accurate. I don't know if any
(01:20:08):
of it's accurate. I know that it's out there. I
know that it is being shared by sources that are reputable.
You can take it for what it's worth. And that's
next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Aren't
you glad we're back live?
Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
I am tu w UFLA.
Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
All right. This comes courtesy of Kevin Downey Junior. He
is with PJ Media, and he called it tinfoil hatter Day,
get your popcorn. The Vegas car bomber is a whistleblower.
That's the headline. Now, this is coming courtesy of an
interview done by a guy named Sean Ryan. Sean Ryan
(01:21:11):
is a former CIA contractor. He's a former Navy seal.
He has a YouTube presence, and I will put a
link up. I'll put the video up on my blog
page in the next day or two to this interview.
You can look it up and find it. He has
reportedly gone into a little seclusion with his wife and
(01:21:33):
kids as a result of this post. Now he sits
down with a guy named Sam Shoemate. Sam Schoemate is
a former Chief Warrant Officer too with the Army and
is retired from the United States Army. He's an intelligence officer.
He's not an older guy. He's young forties. It looks
like to me and the guy in Las Vegs. I
(01:22:00):
guess I'm not using his name. I'm just not contacted.
Shoemate on his Instagram account and this message was sent
a few days before what happened in Las Vegas. He
didn't know anything about what was coming. What I'm going
to send you, writes the guy who blew himself up
(01:22:20):
after allegedly shooting himself in the head. What I'm going
to send you is going to change the course of humanity. Yes,
Shoemate forward the message to incoming Defense Secretary Pete Hegsith
and Sean Ryan, and so Shoemate sits down with Ryan
and shares the contents on camera. It's a manifesto of
(01:22:42):
some kind, and in it he explains how the drones
over the East Coast are from China, flown by technology
called gravitic propulsion, a sophisticated technology only used by the
United States and China. In it, he explains that the
drones can carry an unlimit payload and can be parked
over the White House. He states that Chinese are flying
(01:23:05):
the drones as a show of force, quoting they are
showing as a show of force. They are using it
similar to how they used the balloon, referring to the
spy balloon that did figure eights over the country over
military bases a few years ago. He suggested he's being
followed by the FBI or Homeland Security, though he believes
they won't move on him because he's armed and has
(01:23:27):
a sizable car bomb. A vbied in his vehicle. Then
things take a little bit of a change in the
manifest he says, the manifesto I should say. After admitting
that he has knowledge of the secret gravitic propulsion technology,
he states that he has information about alleged war crimes
(01:23:47):
deemed as such by the UN committed in Afghanistan in
twenty nineteen, crimes he claims he helped orchestrate and later conceal,
apparently in notes on an app inside his phone, he states,
this was not a terrorist attack. It is a wake
up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence.
(01:24:11):
What better way to get my point across than a
stunt with fireworks and explosives. Why did I personally do it? Now?
I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I've
lost and to relieve myself with the burden of the
lives I took. So it's in a sense a suicide note,
in a sense a manifesto. In another note on his phone,
(01:24:32):
he claims that Americans are being led by quote weak
and feckless leadership who only served to enrich themselves. Probably
a true statement. Now. Sean Ryan says that he did
some research and found a un report about the US
bombing of more than sixty buildings in Afghanistan in twenty
nineteen that were allegedly being used to produce narcotics. Ryan
(01:24:55):
is suggesting that the story of the Las Vegas man
is legit, or that it has some credibility to it. Now.
Apparently the media is obviously trying to paint this guy
is troubled PTSD type person. A girlfriend, which lends credibility
(01:25:16):
to the claims of infidelity, says that the guy was
itching to get back into the fight, was looking to
be deployed again. He just asked for a leave and
that when things went south with his family, that's when
he decided to just take action and end his life.
Sean Ryan, the former Navy Seal CIA contractor, goes on
(01:25:38):
to say that we are giving tens of millions of
dollars per week to the Taliban, which then pays money
to their NGOs, which used that money to train terrorists
to kill Americans, and that we are woefully unprepared for
what's coming. That's the gist of it. You take that
for what it's worth. Forty seven minutes after the hour,
wrap it up next here on The Morning Show with
(01:25:59):
Preston's got boy, be careful when you put bottles that
(01:26:20):
look alike in the same proximity to each other. For example,
as one North Carolina mom learned the other day, you
don't put nail glue, which usually comes in these small,
little plastic kind of containers, next to, say, your eye drops.
(01:26:47):
She thought she was reaching for eye drops. She put
instant glue in her eyes. Eyes glued shut. Yeah, there's
a go fundme page there. I'm probably not inclined to
(01:27:08):
donate to that particular cause, but that's just me. Certainly
will be praying for the best for the woman. But yeah,
it's one of those things where you know, you just
you carefully label things and you don't put your nail
glue right there by your eye drops. You put it
in the drawer next to maybe your nail polish and
(01:27:31):
your stuff like that. But wow, all right, tomorrow on
the program, Kat Camick, US, congresswoman from Florida's third District,
will join us. Remember now, she's scheduled to join us
twice a month. I asked her if she if she
would consider it. I said, we need someone to tell
us the truth of what's going on. And if you've
(01:27:53):
heard our last visit, she was unchained, telling us what's
going on and how in wake of the election, how
concerned she is of where things are going. So we'll
we'll talk to her, we'll talk about some you know,
twice a month. Man, it's gonna be awesome. So while
there will be interruptions, I'm sure to that when things votes,
(01:28:14):
stuff pops up. I mean, you remember Congress, things happen.
I'm really grateful for that. We will have a manly
minute and a ton of other things that I didn't
get to today. So that's tomorrow. I'm already excited. Brought
to you by Barno Heating and Air.
Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
It's the Morning Show one on WFLA.
Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Hey, don't forget, we are posting the twelve days of
Preston on the Morning Show podcast. We'll do one show
at a time and give you something extra to listen to.
That's a recap of the twenty twenty four year and
do not miss the final show the twelfth day. We
have exclusive interviews that are just They've never been aired
(01:28:57):
before until that show with Justin Haskins, Peter Schweitzer, Mark Levin,
and Glenn Beck, and they were terrific. All of the
guests were just terrific. We had an unextented we had
an uninterrupted time to just chat and it was great.
And I think the response I got from listeners is exceptional,
(01:29:19):
So thank you. We'll do the twelve days again this
coming year, but you can expect those to be uploaded
in the podcast page. All right. We started to day
with first Peter one thirteen, that was our verse for
the day, talked about the terrorist attack in New Orleans.
It was not a terrorist attack in Las Vegas. It was,
(01:29:42):
to paraphrase the words of the young man who killed
himself allegedly and blew up a Tesla truck in front
of a Trump property. It was an attention seeking stunt.
He said, this is what it takes to get the
attention of Americans. He's not far off, but there appears
(01:30:02):
to be a whole lot more to that story, and
I suspect there's more. I had an interesting email from
somebody about the quote lone wolf in New Orleans. He said,
I was always taught that Wolve's hunting packs. Fair point.
Here's what we know. There are sleeper cells in this country.
(01:30:25):
There are talks that Iranians have smuggled in surface to
air missiles to shoot down Trump and play in his airplane.
We'll see. Is that what they're looking for? I mean,
I don't know. Tomorrow we'll do it again. Friends. Great
to be back. Talk to you tomorrow
