Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well here we are again. Good morning friends. Back with you, Monday,
October twentieth on The Morning Show with Preston's got on Preston,
he is, Jose, Great to be with you. What a
beautiful weekend of weather down here. Now it wasn't that
great all over the country, but here, woof, it's just spectacular,

(00:31):
just beautiful. Glad we had a little rainfall yesterday. That's good.
But we're ready to start another week at show fifty
four to seventy six of the program and a busy day.
Lots to talk about. Take your calls next hour. But
first let's go where we always go, to God's word
Ephesians two, verses eight and nine, say this, for by
grace you have been saved through faith. This is not

(00:58):
your own doing. It is the gift of God, not
a result of works. So that no one may boast.
This is a it's so difficult for some people to
get their mind around that salvation is a gift. Good

(01:21):
friend of mine wants use the illustration of a pen.
He said, you know, if I were to gift wrap
this pen and put it in a box with a
ribbon and hand it to you, it's not a gift.
Until you receive it. I may have all the best

(01:45):
of intentions, but until you receive it, it's not a gift.
You have to make that decision to receive it, to
receive the gift.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
That is grace.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Since we were little, we've been raised in such a
way that we earn reward. If you work hard, you
get good grades. If you work hard at work, you
get a better position or better pay. You know, that's
we're conditioned that way. But we were created with a
vacuum that only God can fill, and it's not by works.

(02:21):
The grace to receive what God has given us forgiveness
then compels us to do good works. The good works
don't earn us that. The good works are an evidence
of that. Ten Past the Hours The Morning Show with
Preston's Scot, Good Morning.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Who's Traffic, Weather, Sports, Entertainment, and the Truth. The Morning
Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point
seven WFLA.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Twelve passed the Hour. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, We
Go October twentieth, sixteen twenty nine. In England, John Winthrop
is elected first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony eighteen
oh three, US Senate ratifies the Louisiana purchase. What a bargain.
I think we bought it for like three dollars. Okay, mine,

(03:23):
I've been that good of a bargain. But it was
a grand scheme of things. Amazing. Eighteen eighteen, United States
Great Britain fixed the US Canadian border at the forty
ninth parallel between the Lake of the Woods and the
Continental Divide. They fixed it. I didn't even know it

(03:44):
was broken. Nineteen forty four, Sorry, World War Two General
Douglas MacArthur wades into wades ashore at lay At Island
in the Philippines, fulfilling his promise of nineteen forty two
where he said I shall return, and he did. Nineteen

(04:04):
forty seven, the House Unamerican Activities Committee begins hearings on
alleged communist influence in Hollywood. Just get your mind around
that for a second. Nineteen forty seven and now in
America we have communists, Marxist socialists elected to office. Almost

(04:32):
eighty years ago, our government was warning us and we
ignored the threat. What will be the case in eighty
years from now. I'm just saying they're about to They
are about to elect as mayor in New York City,

(04:57):
an overt socialist Marxist who believes in human trafficking because
he wants to legalize prostitution in New York City. What
do you think is going to happen in New York City?
Because prostitution, the bedrock of prostitution is human trafficking. There

(05:20):
are the occasional voluntary prostitutes, but most of the prostitutes
out there are paying off drug debts or are owned
by others, literally owned. What do you think is going
to happen? Sorry, I'm getting too serious too early. It

(05:44):
is National Day on writing, Okay, National Chicken and Waffles Day.
You a chicken and waffles guy? Oh yeah, leve me
some chicken waffles with or without syrup. Drowning in syrup? Really? Okay? Yeah,

(06:10):
like throwing a life preserver. There's so much syrup, that's right, Okay.
National Youth Confidence Day, National Clean your Virtual Desktop Day,
that makes a lot of sense to me. So much
junk on the desktop. And National Brandied Fruit Day. Okay,
what's that about? We uncork the jars and celebrate National

(06:33):
Brandied Fruit Day. Timeless tradition that transforms the simple sweetness
of fruit into a rich, spirited Yeah you think versatile
dessert topping mix in or stand alone treat. This is
from the Victorian era. Branded fruit was originally a way

(06:53):
to preserve the vibrant flavors of the harvest long after
the season ended. People discovered that bathing fresh fruit in
brandy and sugar not only kept them from spoiling, you think,
but also created a complex, delicious confection with a delightful
warming kick. Okay, yeah, I'd like another orange sixty pass

(07:23):
the hour, come back with it? Did you know? And uh,
we're gonna have a little chat about Skip Bayless. Did
you know now what? Cheer Iowa is notable for its name,

(07:45):
but little else. Cheer Iowa. It was named in eighteen
sixty five, though the reason has been debated. Population six
oh seven in twenty twenty. No one knows why it's
called cheer cheer Iowa. They can't figure out why it's

(08:05):
called that, and it has existed since eighteen sixty five.
But there you go. Did you know? Skip Bayless used
to be on ESPN. He's one of the self appointed
prognosticators of not really a prognosticator, that would be incorrect.

(08:27):
He is a commentator on sports. You know, like a
lot of us, he falls into that world of observing
what's going on in sports. But he has a i
think an overwhelming problem with self importance, and he decided

(08:49):
to spend twenty eight minutes online posting a rant against
Travis Hunter, the two way football player from Jacksonville played
for Deon Sanders of Colorado. Yes, Travis Hunter, stiff Florida
State University said he was coming here and then it
was all part of a little bit of a joke
that Dion was playing on FSU. Who thought it was

(09:11):
really funny. Whatever, he's a kid. I'm not holding that
against him. But Travis Hunter got baptized last Sunday before
the football game that morning, and then later they had
a game, and skip Baylist decides to criticize him. He
went off for twenty eight minutes talking about how there's

(09:36):
no way Travis Hunter should have chosen to be baptized
on the morning of a game. He's losing interest, he's
mentally checking out on the Jags. Then he goes on
to talk about how he's a Christian himself. You know,
I'm pro God. He said he was actually happy to
be baptized. On game day morning, because football isn't taking
that much concentration focused or pregame mental preparation. Hunter was

(10:02):
thrilled to be baptized. When asked why, he said, Sunday,
It's God's Day. I've been planning to get baptized for
a minute. It changed my life over to become a
better man. When a reporter asked what did it mean
to you, he said, it means a lot because becoming
a better man, leaving my old flesh and just becoming
a new Travis so Bayliss talks about how you know

(10:28):
he's a Christian himself and he recently rededicated his life
to God. He said, I'm a God guy. I was
baptized as an infinite Methodist church. He doesn't like to
call himself a Christian anymore because quote that's been condemned
as this term for far right nutcase is zealous. I
believe in God and the Bible with all my heart
and with all my soul. My life is dedicated start

(10:49):
to finish to God in the Bible. Really well, skip
brother brother in Christ. Let me learn you at some things.
And I posted some stuff on his X page about
this number one, what do you know about mental preparation
for a game. Do you really think guys wake up

(11:10):
on Sunday and they just sit. I'm gonna think about
football all morning long, and you don't play though three thirty.
I'm thinking about football all morning long. I'm envisioning everything.
You really think an athlete does that. No athlete does that.

(11:34):
Skip average one point four points his senior year in
high school basketball, one point four points a game. That's fine.
He's allowed to be a sports commentator who loved sports.
That's great. He had water splashed on him as an infant.
Do you really think that makes you a Christian? And

(11:54):
for any of you out there, that doesn't make you
a Christian. Being put in water no more makes you
a Christian than sitting in a McDonald's makes you a
big Mac, or sitting in a you know, in a
car garage makes you a car. It doesn't work that way.

(12:15):
Being baptized after you make a conscious decision as an adult,
a young person with a rational mind, not necessarily even
an adult, but just you understand right from wrong, good
from bad, making that decision and then deciding choosing to
follow up with baptism. That's fine. If you look at

(12:39):
what scripture says about baptism. It's a it's a pledge
of a good conscience towards God. That's what That's what
baptism is. It's it's showing and demonstrating the old you
has been put to death and you've been raised to
life with Christ as a new creation, a new heart,
the Holy Spirit. Take it. It's just it's an outward

(12:59):
symbol of something that's happened inwardly. If you said, I'm
going to be a Christian, Lord, forgive me of my sins,
I want you to beat Jesus be my Lord and savior.
And you never got baptized, you're good. It's okay as
long as you were sincere and you then live a
repentant life, looking to change. When you make mistakes, owning

(13:21):
them and so forth, you're good. Whether you get baptized
or not. Being baptized is not the thing, because that's
a work. But Skip doesn't seem to understand that. And
you'll notice he doesn't want to be identified as a Christian.
I'm sorry, dude, far right, zealous. I'm not here to

(13:47):
judge his salvation. That's between he and God. But I
am going to be a fruit inspector and my brother
Skip is wrong. He's wrong about everything, he said. Twenty
eight minutes after the hour, come back with the big
stories in the press box.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, I told you that the process in the Middle
East was not gonna be not gonna be easy, and
I'll go so far as to I'll go into more
detail next on this story tomorrow, but suffice to say
that the only time there's gonna be quote, peace in

(14:43):
the Middle East is when the Antichrist is revealed and
Donald Trump ain't the anti Christ. Hamas has no interest
in peace. They're not going to disarm, They're going to

(15:06):
do everything possible. I just wonder why in the world
did Israel not recognize this and why they gave up
two thousand terrorists. Hamas has broken virtually every part of
the deal that was agreed to and signed. Anyway, got

(15:29):
a follow up list from Jimmy Petronis. There are a
few members of Congress that are not accepting pay during
the shutdown. He's one of them. Kat Camick is another,
and that interesting. Two of our guests are among the
few the few in Congress. Rick Scott another. But I
don't think Greek accept pay period. I think he donates

(15:50):
his money away, but he doesn't take a check. But
I got a list. There are some Democrats on the
lists that are not taking pay, so that's good. Corey
Booker surprisingly is not taking pay. But I just I
did get the list. President Trump commuted the sentence of

(16:12):
former Representative George Santos. Said, yeah, he's rogue, but you know,
he pled guilty to fraud and identity theft after inflating
fundraising figures and falsifying donor names in the twenty twenty
two election cycle. President Trump Community's sentence and released him immediately.

(16:36):
He was doing solitary for that. That's ridiculous now, I
mean that solitary is like ridiculous unless he had unless
it was solitary because he was under threat. He allegedly
used funds for personal expenses, luxury clothing, credit card payments,
rather than campaign purposes, which is a violation of campaign law.

(16:57):
I'm just wondering, mister President, what about tay Do Domiak?
How about pardoning him? I posted that on the Potus
and the Real Donald Trump ex page. How about Tate?
I mean whatever, that's fine. You know, George Santos, you know,
one of very few in the history of Congress ever
get kicked out. Minnesota, Tim Wall signs a driver's licenses

(17:22):
for all law. It allows illegals to obtain free government
issued photo IDs, driver's licenses. And oh, by the way,
the state has confirmed they can vote in state elections.
Illegal immigrants are going to be allowed to vote in
Minnesota state elections. It's not debatable. Don't tell me it
doesn't happen. It's now what they're doing is unconstitutional. We'll see.

(17:50):
And then ICE agents have arrested a police officer in
Hanover Park, Illinois. Ice agents have arrested a police officer.
Why he's in the country illegally, has been for more
than a decade, and he's a police officer. He's an

(18:13):
illegal from Montenegro, a Balkan country in southeastern Europe. He's
carried a gun. He's an illegal immigrant. He's been here,
he was he passed a background check. Why how during
the Biden years, the very end of the Biden administration

(18:34):
he was allowed to be hired. The community said confirmed
that he was legally authorized by the federal government to
work in the United States. He was authorized in January
of twenty twenty five. Trump didn't take office till the
end of January. This is the second known case of

(18:54):
an illegal being a police officer forty one minutes. How
does that happen?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
More on Illegals Next, being told what to believe by
the liberal media. Get a refreshing dose of truth. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott on news radio one
hundred point seven WUFLA because.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Sent me a link to a video truck driver rolling
tape on his own cab and he's I don't know
if it's a way center or what, but he is.
He's confronting. He pulled in front of another truck to

(19:54):
get him to stop, and then he pulls over to
his side, rolls down the windows so they're sort of
facing opposite directions, and he says to the truck driver, dude,
using some colorful language, you know you're driving the wrong
way on the interstate. Right. Guy had no clue what

(20:19):
he was doing, could barely speak English. The encounter was horrifying.
We have that surrounding us all the time. It would
appear we have illegal immigrants surrounding us on the roads,

(20:43):
driving vehicles, some of them eighteen Wheelers, and they don't
know how to read or speak English. They designs me
nothing to them. I don't even know what to say.

(21:05):
That we have, we have a political party fighting to
keep this status quo is just it's impossible for me
to understand. I don't want to understand it because that

(21:26):
will mean my brain has been to some extent co opted.
Maybe another way to put it would be melted. Do
you want to understand that? I don't want to understand that.
It's wrong. It doesn't it's it's just it's indefensible. More

(21:51):
illegal immigrants news here at Duardo Aguilar. There's a very important,
small little nugget in this story, so bear with me.
We've talked about this. He was arrested. DHS and illegal
from Mexico residing in Dallas, posted in Spanish on TikTok

(22:15):
soliciting the murder of ICE enforcement agents. He's the dude
who posted on October ninth, ten dudes in Dallas with
determination who aren't afraid to two skull emojis and offered
ten thousand dollars for each ICE agent each one. He

(22:35):
placed a bounty on ICE, offering to pay hold on.
Now he's arrested. With a loaded nine millimeter. That's a
violation of the law. So he's here illegally, but he's
here illegally with a nine millimeter. But going back, this
is what's important. He illegally entered the country in twenty eighteen.

(23:02):
An immigration judge ordered a final removal order in twenty nineteen.
But he came into the country as an unaccompanied minor.
So for all the bleeding hearts, what about these kids
that are coming in? This is what happens. Now, He's

(23:26):
just one of how many others? Remember now, Biden lost
over three hundred thousand minors. Can we maybe fairly assume
that a hefty percentage are going to be following down

(23:48):
a path like this? Yeah, whether it's ten percent, okay,
that's thirty thousand, twenty percent, that's sixty thousand, How about half?
How about one hundred and fifty thousand criminals? Hardcore criminals,

(24:12):
and we have a party dedicated to keeping them in
this country. Add all these stories up, including the big
story in the press box, and you know what you get.
You get why Democrats are fighting because they need them
to vote. Forty seven minutes past the hour, it's a

(24:33):
morning show with Preston Scott just a few minutes away
from the top of the hours news, little weather, traffic,
and then we'll get into our number two. Just had

(24:53):
a caller, you know. Maybe Ingest suggests that since he
was impeached by Democrats his first time around, doesn't this
make this Trump's first term. Now, Trump served his entire
term in office, he was not removed. This is his
second term. Appreciate the appreciate the effort, the enthusiasm, But no,

(25:18):
we do not need Donald Trump for another four years.
We don't. What we need is we need we need
a lot of the same policies to be carried forward
for another four to eight years, to twelve to six.
We need the Democrat Party to be rendered, to be neutered.

(25:39):
And here's the good news. Because of the feminists, that
are the liberal women out there who are refusing to
have children and so forth, that's a win. You know,
conservatives out there, couples that are having babies, that's awesome. See,

(25:59):
that's they're neutering themselves as a party. And that's again,
it's why they need the victim class. They need the illegals.
That's Democrats have always thrived off of victim classes, and
the good news here is that more and more Black
Americans minorities in this country are awakening to it. We
just need someone that doesn't fall into the traps of

(26:22):
saying things and posting things and at times doing things
that just feed the the whole. You know, this nonsense,
this no King's nonsense. I just I wanted to share this.
It was an observation made online about the no Kings protests,

(26:49):
and it surrounds the idea that you've got people serving
in Congress fifty plus years, forty years, thirty years, and
Trump has been at it for four years and nine

(27:12):
and a half months, and he's the king. Really, it
just seems odd right that he's the one being accused
of being a king. We won't even get to the
rhetoric that has been at these rallies, but the government

(27:36):
shut down. I want to ask you to consider calling in,
and I have a very simple question. Do you care?
Have you noticed if it's impacted you? I'd love to
know how. I'm not saying it hasn't. I'm sure there

(27:58):
are some, but have you noticed? Does it matter to you?
Or are we just exposing the oversized nature of government?
So my question is really simple. The government's still shut down.
It's now one of the longest shutdowns in history. But

(28:20):
do you care eight five zero two zero five WSLA
eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two.
The phone lines are open. Join me five minutes after

(28:53):
the hour, Morning Ruminators, Welcome to the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He is Jose. It is Monday,
October the twentieth. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather
we had for the weekend. I even called yesterday's rainfall
beautiful because we needed it. We needed some rain. But

(29:13):
my goodness, I'm loving this, absolutely loving this. All right,
we are taking phone calls. John is standing by. We
will go to him first because he's the only one
who's called in. We did have someone call in who
said she was a teacher and that because of the shutdown,
she was not going to be teaching past this week

(29:34):
or so. I don't know how a teacher in a
local school district anywhere is affected by the government shutdown.
I don't That makes no sense to me. I'm not
buying that. Someone's going to have to explain that one
to me, because I don't know of anyone who's dependent
on the federal government for their job in a local

(29:55):
school system. But I could be wrong, but we're asking
do you care? Does the government shut down matter to you?
I have no doubt that it's affecting some people. We
certainly have some. You know, the Defense Department moved a
little money around paid military, but there's another check coming

(30:17):
up and they're saying that they can't do it again.
So where does the pressure shift to. Is it on
the Democrats or is it on the Republicans? Is it
on both? I don't know. Eight five zero two zero
five WFLA, John, thanks for calling in this morning. What
do you think.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
I hate the thought of anybody losing their job. I
just I don't like that. And you know, your guide
variety government work or didn't create the job that they have.
It's just it's a shame. But you know, there's only,
as I understand that, about eighteen basic things that the
federal government is supposed to do as per the Constitution,

(31:00):
and it's just the whole thing is just such a mess.
And correct me if I'm wrong. I remember hearing a
long time ago that if the federal government was its
constitutional size and scope, it only require three to five
percent of GDP to operate. Do you ever hear anything
like that?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I have not heard that, But that does not shock
me at all. I would Let's put it this way,
there's nothing on the surface of that statement, John, that
I would say. No, I don't buy that. I would
buy that.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah, but let me where does the military goes? Yeah,
and I hope they figure something out.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I do as well. But let me just ask you,
just you yourself, doing your day to day world, your life,
has this shut down affected you.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Not in the least. If done properly, the government really
should barely even be background noise in your life.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, completely agree, John, Thanks very much for calling in
five zero two zero five WFLA. I don't doubt that
there are people that are being impacted by this. Look
at the rally in the Capitol, the no King's Rally,
we had ten thousand police officers in the area that
we're working, off duty, but on duty. They weren't being paid.

(32:21):
They showed up to help provide security. They didn't have
to because they're not being paid. What about the air
traffic controllers at all of our airports, they are federal employees,
they're not being paid. You could say, well, I fly

(32:44):
all the time. I haven't been impacted. Well not yet.
Is that an area you want to have impacted? Like
while you're up in the air. But there are deadlines
coming when we come back, we'll get to some of
those deadlines. But again, i'd love to hear from you.
Do you care? Look, the government shutdown is dominating the

(33:08):
news cycle. I don't have it as much of my
big stories in the press box. I've hardly had it
as a big story in the press box, which speaks
to what I think about it. But I'm not being impacted.
Maybe you are, I don't know, but I haven't found
anybody yet who I can prove is being impacted, although

(33:34):
I know there are some ten past the hour eight
five zero two zero five to WFLA if you want
to join me.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
On news radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
This is almost proof of the segment. We have hardly
anybody even interested enough in the government shut down to
talk about it, which, as I told Jose in the break,

(34:25):
sort of cements my point. It is so irrelevant to
most people's lives that there's no interest in even talking
about it. Let me tell you some dates that could
shift some things in the stalemate and just to kind
of reset. Democrat lawmakers maintain that reopening the government must

(34:51):
go hand in hand with extending the healthcare subsidies that
are due to expire at the end of the year.
Republicans counter that the two issues should be handled independently.
They say, look, subsidy negotiations can only begin once the
shutdown is over. You you gotta we gotta move things
along here. John Thune said, I'll give them a vote today, tomorrow,

(35:16):
next week, you name it, but you got to open
the government. I will not negotiate under hostage conditions, nor
will I pay ransom period, referring to the Schumer shutdown.
Does does does Bud want to talk about this? Bud

(35:37):
wants to talk about it? Bud? You're you Do you
care or do you not care?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Well, I'm retired and I don't fly, and I don't care.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
But if the airlines want to keep flying, maybe they
should be hiring the air traffic controllers.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Okay, so but on the grand scheme of things, you
don't care.

Speaker 7 (36:03):
That's correct.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, and that's thank you, Bud. I appreciate you calling in.
I mean, there are so many areas of government that
should be privatized. And again, this is an area where
President Trump, I think is making terrible choices by the
government owning stock in certain manufacturing, certain areas. I mean, well,

(36:30):
this company does almost all of its businesses with the government. Yeah,
but it's still its own business. It shouldn't be owned
by the government. I have great problems with that. But
I'm just curious who is being impacted. I know some are.
But do you care? Sherry? Thanks for calling in.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
Thank you so nice to meet you.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Tell me does it matter to you?

Speaker 8 (36:59):
No, it doesn't have suck me in any way. But
this is what I suggest. If the federal government closes down,
then fundraising should have to end for anybody running for Congress,
including money to the parties. If you do that, it's
going to really affect the congressional folks, and they're going

(37:21):
to think about it.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah. I think you raise a good point. Obviously, you
can't do anything. I mean, the federal government doesn't really
fund the parties we do, right, But I think you're
the larger point is, first, Congress should be should not
be paid at all. We've got a handful of lawmakers,
some of them guests on this program that are not
accepting a paycheck. But there's no way that members of

(37:44):
Congress should be paid when when this is happening.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Agreed.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, yeah, Sherry, thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in. Yeah,
there is there's zero reason why Congress should be getting
paid during this. But this is right now fueling the
example of government two is too big. Now. Trump says

(38:10):
he's going to take advantage of it, and he's going
to go ahead and eliminate some programs that the illiberals love. Understand,
liberals live off of small, splintered groups, and that's fine.
Government needs to shut down a lot more than his

(38:33):
being shut down. If you want to call in, I'll
take some more calls. Sixteen minutes after the hour, We've
got some dates that I want to mention that I
think could possibly nudge the stalemate. But this is all
about what do you think? Do you care? That's my question,
And it's interesting we're pulling teeth to get anybody to
talk about it because I don't think you care, And

(38:56):
that's okay. It just is proving my point indirectly. Sixteen
passed the hour, full bank of callers now got an

(39:16):
email here I'll share, but first let's go back to
the phone lines. I'm just asking about the government shutdown.
Do you care, Tiffany, Hey.

Speaker 9 (39:26):
Good morning. Yes, I came in on a final I
guess commentary there, so I thought i'd call in. But yeah, yeah,
I'm concerned about it. The organization that I work for
is primarily federal grant funded, and so at first, you know,
initially I was, you know, okay, I'm not too worried
about this, but if this goes long term, my job
and potentially under fifty other people, you know, we could

(39:46):
be put on furlough as well while they work all
of this out. And I really don't want to go
on furlough again. I did that earlier this year. Yeah,
so that, yeah, the potential, I'm concerned now that it's
been so long, I'm definitely concerned about that.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Who do you hold responsible? All of them?

Speaker 9 (40:04):
Yes, yes, all of them? This is not a Trump thing.
This is I just feel like primarily of course, I'm well,
I'm a Republican, and so I do feel like if
Schumer had originally written this cr way back when, and
it's always been okay, but now he's indicating that it's not.

Speaker 10 (40:24):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (40:24):
I do have a problem with that, But there's got
to be a point where there is a tipping point
where it's like, Okay, the American people now are having
to deal with this, and you all need to just
do your job. Figure it out. You know, that's what
we hired you to do, or we elected you to do.
So thank you, Tiffany, that's my opinion.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I appreciate it. Thanks for calling in. Chuck Schumer, scared
to death of AOC. This is about the New York
Senate race. That's what this is about. For Chuck Schumer.
I can't speak to anything else. We've got three more
callers standing by. We got Steve here. Steve, what do
you think.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Well, I'm not affected indirectly or directly. It's indirectly. My
daughter is divorced from a gentleman in the Air Force.
He got his paycheck in the middle of the month.
But if that's the end of it, then she will
be affected, and then the family will be affected. She
won't be getting her child support check.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Okay, do you hold either side responsible or both sides?

Speaker 5 (41:26):
Both sides, But I have to lean more on the
Democratic side because I feel that we as Americans do
not need to pay insurance health insurance for illegal immigrants. Yep,
I just I think that's wrong. It's as tough as
it is for just the average person in this country.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Fair enough, Steve, thank you appreciate the call. Two callers left. Jeff,
you are up. What do you think?

Speaker 11 (41:55):
Well, first off, it doesn't affect me directly at all.
As far as the teacher thing disconcerned. My life's a teacher.
She's at work this morning, so I'm not sure where
that came from. My main concern echo the other folks
is the folks who are in the military that aren't
getting paid. That should never happen, and Congress needs to
fix that. And we also need to set it up

(42:18):
so that they feel more of the pinch when this
government is shut down. As everyone else says, they don't
need to get paid, and I believe Trump should take
all necessary actions to reduce programs that are just not
necessary during this shutdown.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Fair enough, thank you very much, appreciate the call. Any
Before I get to you, I want to follow up
on that with an email from Michael because it ties in.
He said, I'm amazed and some of the people calling
in saying that they don't care. The shutdown doesn't affect
them as long as the military is not getting paid
in Congress does everyone should be so mad they can't
see straight. The people that actually risk their lives to

(42:55):
protect this country should never go without a paychecks. Agree, Annie,
you are the final caller here. What do you think?

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Well, I'm not affected directly yet, but I work for
a Medicaid contractor, so it's probably coming. I do think
that it's a necessary evil. I blame both sides, but
I also think it's been a long time coming because
when they did the subsidies, it kind of changed the

(43:26):
landscape of healthcare and our healthcare costs. So, you know,
working directly in healthcare and seeing the costs and seeing
the fat, also seeing the fat of the government itself,
I think it's another necessary evil to further show how,
you know, just fat our government is. With that said,
I don't want to discount the public servants that are working,

(43:46):
and especially the ones that are working for free, as
a former public servant, because that will really show you
who's working for you.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Fair enough, any thanks very much, good perspective. See there
we go. I knew some of you might be willing
to illuminate this issue with a little bit of a
different perspective, and I think we got that good stuff.
Thanks twenty seven Past the Hours The Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
On News Radio one point seven doub Usla.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
A lot of questions coming in about the illegals and
Obamacare and how is it that they're getting this that
that's the whole point. Republicans are saying no more, and
Democrats are fighting for it. They are Democrats are doing
what they always do to confuse the American public. They're

(44:51):
conflating issues because they believe illegals in this country, by
virtue of breaking in, are then American. To explain the
stupidity of that argument, that would be like saying, if
somebody broke into your home, they're suddenly a member of
the family. It doesn't work that way unless they're literally

(45:18):
a member of the family and they lost their key.
But you get my point. So there is no understanding
of that social Security checks they're going out. There may
come a time that it becomes a bit of a rub,
but this is still this is the Democrats not doing

(45:40):
what they've done for decades. S I'm continuing resolutions. I'm
one hundred percent behind the GOP on this. That is
not a big story in the press box. However, one
big story in the press box speaking of illegals, is

(46:01):
Minnesota has now signed into law by the governor driver's
licenses for all illegal immigrants are going to be getting
government issued driver's licenses if they qualify by age. I
suppose pass the test, but I wonder is the test

(46:22):
going to be discriminatory? Are they going to make those people,
you know that just happen to be from other countries
read English and speak English? Probably not. Will they be
required to read road signs and understand and know what
they mean? Probably not, But they'll issue them driver's licenses.
And oh, by the way, to put all of this

(46:45):
to rest, illegals can't vote in elections, preston in Minnesota.
It's law by virtue of now the driver's licenses for
all illegals may vote in state election in Florida, local
and state absolutely, one hundred percent. How do I know, Well,

(47:07):
I just sat and watched an interview under oath with
the Minnesota Elections Director Paul Linnell. He admitted it as
long as they got a driver's license, they registered to vote.
It doesn't match with the social Security number, so they're flagged.
But as long as they have an ID, they can vote.

(47:31):
Boom done next. George santos Is, his sentence was commuted.
President said, all right, it's not a parole, it's it's
a communation of sentence. President shortened his sentence. He said
he shouldn't be doing solitary. He's done enough done. I

(47:54):
don't agree or disagree. I don't care. What I care
about is that Tata Domiac isn't getting paroled yet. That's
what I care about. He was framed by ATF. ATF
framed this young man who is about to be a
Seal commander. There are a handful of members of Congress
not being paid. In fact, Florida has more members of

(48:18):
Congress not being paid than any other state. Not enough,
you know. Now the list changes all the time, but
as of now, doctor Neil Dunn, I believe he is
being paid. He's not on the list here. Jimmy Petronis
isn't being paid. He will not accept pay. Camick, our
frequent guest, scheduled to be with us tomorrow. She's going

(48:41):
to be on the left coast, so she won't be
able to join us tomorrow. She's not being paid. She
won't take a paycheck. Rick Scott's not taking a paycheck.
And it's easy to say, well, he's the wealthiest member
of Congress. That's true, not because of Congress, but because
of his success as a businessman. Ice is arrested, a

(49:02):
police officer who has been living in the United States
illegally for more than a decade. He's a police officer
in a suburb of Chicago with a gun. Here, illegally, speechless,
forty minutes after the hour, Big Stories in the press
box Here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
I don't know if he's wearing black over the FSU
loss at Stanford the other night, but doctor Joe Camps
joins us this morning. Joe, is it sackcloth and ashes?

Speaker 10 (49:48):
Well, right now, in Preston, I'm just sort of taking
a deep breath. I just don't know what's going on
out there, but it was pretty pathetic. But we're going
to talk a little bit about a subject that.

Speaker 9 (50:06):
Not a lot.

Speaker 10 (50:07):
It's not talked about a lot, but Alzheimer's disease. And
you know basically, the Disease Internationals suggest that there are
fifty five million people around the world that are suffering
with this issue, and it's expected to jump to seventy
eight million by twenty thirty. Now, like most things, okay,
we still don't know exactly what causes it, but there

(50:30):
are certainly risk factors that they've been able to identify,
and some are modifiable and some are not. Now the
unmodifiable issues are as you age, we know that that
Alzheimer's increases, and then certain genetics, but they're modifiable risk
factors such as smoking, living a sedentary lifestyle. I thought

(50:53):
that was kind of interesting, and then they talked also
about diet, which is high and ultra processed foods, sleep deprivation, hypertension,
and then hypercholesterolemia, and so that's sort of the new
news is that it's never been thought of as a
potential causation for Alzheimer's disease, but hypercholesterolemia. And the way

(51:16):
they were able to identify this is they treated the
cholesterol and people seem to get more clarity in their
thinking and remembering issues. So again that one was added
to the list. But you know, as I look through health. Again,
it's at the modifible risk factors that we all have

(51:37):
to deal with. Unfortunately, sometimes we just won't activate and
do those things, and we didn't wonder why we have
certain issues. But this was a new one to me.
I didn't know about hy hypercholesterolemia, but certainly it's a
modifiable risk factor and one we are to add to

(51:58):
the growing list of things that that we can control.
So Alzheimer's disease is something that's out there. As I
get older, I don't know if I'm developing some degree
of Alzheimer's or dementia, but I certainly can't remember the
things like I used to. So we're just going to
keep batting along here and see how it goes.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Preston Well, I think as long as the studies continue
and they're picking off small areas that contribute to it
and we can address those, we're doing all we can do.

Speaker 10 (52:29):
We are doing all we can do. And that's been
the whole issue as it revolves around the show, is
what can you do to lower your risk factors for
everything and live a healthy life? Yeah, and that's what
we've tried to preach over and over again, but we
just have to do it, Preston. You got to do
it right.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Absolutely, can't all move your.

Speaker 10 (52:50):
Way into it. You've got to get active and get
behind this.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Well, it's like, you know, my wife and I were
talking about my in laws and the challenge that they're
facing as they age, and it's and it's caused me
to reflect over the last ten years and make sure that,
for example, I'm working on my flexibility because those are
things that is, if you age and lose your flexibility,
you lose your independence.

Speaker 10 (53:14):
Absolutely, and you know that's the one thing that and
I guess that's been my motivating factor. I've already walked
my four plus miles with my group this morning. Good
for you. You should get a partner of someone that can
can help aid you. But you just got to do it, Presston,
just do it. That's what Nike and all these things
they just do it. So we know that they're modify

(53:37):
for risk practice. But we've got to take action to
get that done. Preston, Jill Beneficial.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Doctor Camps, Thanks so very much. I appreciate it. And
hopefully better days are coming in a couple of weeks
for FSU football. Well I hope.

Speaker 10 (53:50):
So we'll just sit back and hope. Maybe we'll put
all the pieces together here soon, Press and I hope.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
So let's take them all out for a walk with
you and me.

Speaker 10 (53:58):
Yeah, I'd like to speak of.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Thank you Joe. All right, Doctor Joe camps with us
on most Monday's Healthy Expectations. I think he's been with
me for maybe twenty two of the twenty three years
twenty two and a half of the twenty three years
of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Forty six minutes
past the hour.

Speaker 12 (54:37):
It occurred to me that I neglected to give you
the dates that might have some impact on the shutdown
if you care.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
It's interesting I'm getting such a mixed bag of results.
There are people that are kind of flumixed between. I
know I should care because of blah blah blah blah blah,
but I don't. Or just got an email from Dave
out in Lynhaven, who was saying, listen, people are it's

(55:07):
not people's fault that Congress created all these these positions
and so forth. See, that's been my whole argument with
trimming government. I think you do it differently than Trump
has approached this. I just think you do it differently.
I think that you offload people by giving them time
to find other work, and you do it gradually by

(55:28):
increasing opportunities for their work by stimulating the private sector,
and then just kind of saying, look that we're downsizing
government and we're doing all we can to stimulate the
private sector. So here you go, enjoy live a new
life away from the public government. But it's a mixed

(55:49):
bag of results here. But October twenty fourth, more than
two million federal workers will miss their first full paycheck. Now,
a twenty nineteen law technically guarantees back pay. The missing
income is going to stress families. It just will, particularly

(56:11):
any region that has a large federal workforce. Air traffic
controllers I mentioned them. More than ten thousand are working
without pay. October thirty first is the second what's being
described in this article by Epic Times as a flashpoint.

(56:32):
It's when a million active duty service members face uncertainty
over their next check. The sleight of hand that the
government did legally moving money from the research funds to
cover military pay in October the fifteenth, last week, they
can't do it again. They have to find another way
if they want to pay them. With the shutdown, another

(56:53):
is November one. That's the start of the Affordable Care
Act open enrollment. And and in fairness, again, it's not
people's fault that they went this route. Government created this
program and people have a right to know what the
premiums are going to be anyway, So those are some

(57:17):
dates to keep in mind. Hey, I I came across
something over the weekend and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
And it was Red Lobster is offering it spendless shrimp.

(57:37):
Did you hear me? Spend less shrimp? Endless shrimp with
an sp on the front of it. Spend less shrimp.
And I was so intrigued by that. You if you
remember the story of what led to the bank cruc

(58:00):
in the reorg of Red Lobster, part of it was
endless shrimp. So this is spendless shrimp, spend less emphasis
upper case l E s S. And that's how they're
promoting it. And if you stop the DVR, which you
have to do, see it's really unfair radio, you'll hear

(58:20):
these commercials where they go that's a disclaimer. On TV,
they've got that fine print that you never can read.
You can't read that unless you have a DVR and
you stop it. Well, guess what, I stopped it because
I'm me And they make it abundantly clear. And the
fine print one serving. It's one serving of three or

(58:43):
four different kinds of shrimp, popcorn and the garlic shrimp
and maybe the fetichini alfredo shrimp and something else, and
it's one serving. That's it. It's not endless shrimp. It's
spend less and they're promoting it for a less expensive offer. Boy,
they're gonna hear about this. There are gonna be some

(59:03):
people walking in there that try to bankrupt them every
time they sit down. There are people that do that.
You know, you do that in certain Asian restaurant, Asian buffets.
They'll tell you about it. No, no, you know, aymour,
you go bye bye. They'll let the plate stack up
and all that. They're just yeah, not not not doing

(59:25):
it anymore. But uh, but this is gonna be interesting
because I am guessing people are going to go in
thinking it's endless shrimp and it's not. So I'm just
letting you know, red lobster with the spend lesh shrimp.

(01:00:04):
All right, friends, welcome to the third hour. Already, I
have no idea where the time has gone. But it
has gone, and we are now in the final segments
here of the Monday edition of The Morning Show with
Preston Scott. We'll just call it the Monday After. Yeah,

(01:00:25):
I told Joe Camps. For those of you that do
not know, doctor Joe Camps was the first captain of
a excuse me, of a Bobby Bowden coach football team
at Florida State. I told him. I asked him, rather
you wear an ashes and sackcloth, because I think FSU
football fans are in mourning and joining us to commiserate

(01:00:46):
and talk about it. Ira Scheffelle, Managing editor Warshand dot Com. Ira,
as you can hear, I'm all choked up.

Speaker 7 (01:00:53):
Yeah, it's a weird time for Florida State football and
obviously for the administration who has to make the decision
about what's going to happen, which we think could happen
at any moment. But it's yeah, these are these are
dark days right now for Florida State football.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
I will not go into the details of the game
just yet. I want to ask you, are you surprised
that Sunday came and went and Mike Norvel remained head coach.

Speaker 7 (01:01:18):
I mean maybe a little bit because the emotions are
so raw after the game. I mean, that performance was
so bad that it felt like, you know, the fan
base wanted action immediately. But man, there's a lot of
I mean, imagine the the the magnitude of this decision.
I mean you're talking about, you know, we always talk
about the buyout from Mike Norbel, which is over fifty
million dollars. But then you have the assistant coaches who

(01:01:39):
all have guaranteed multi year contracts. You have the new
coaching staff you'd have to bring in. There's a lot
of expenses. I mean, the total expenses of this thing
could cost you know, eighty ninety million dollars, and so
there's a lot going on there. Plus I mean, you know,
and again, you know, we all because this is so emotional,
you know, we want you know, we want retribution. We

(01:02:00):
want something to happen right now because of what you
just did to our football program. But on the other side,
you know, think about the time we all take with decisions.
I know, if my wife and I are talking about
buying a car, we might take weeks or months to
make that decision. But we want these people to make
one hundred million dollar decision in three hours, so I'm

(01:02:20):
not surprised it takes a little more time. But I
do know that, you know, the fan base want to
want to hear something.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I just found myself literally screaming at the television watching
the continued undisciplined play, the foolish mistakes all over the field.
And I'm struggling because Tony White has a reputation as

(01:02:47):
a defensive coordinator as a no nonsense, very disciplined guy.
Gus Malzon has been proven to be successful at what
he does, which is offensive scheming and running an offense
wherever he's been. So is this clearly a Mike Norville problem.

Speaker 7 (01:03:07):
I mean, I think once things starts spiraling for a
football team, for a college football team in this era,
I just think it's hard. You know, It's like the
boulder is coming downhill at you and you're trying to
hold it in place. But you know, once once it
starts going, it's just hard to stop it. And I
think that's what happens. And I think the way you
see that in the games is just a lack of conviction.

(01:03:28):
You know, whether it's diving for that extra three inches
on a play to get the first down or the touchdown,
whether that's putting your body on the line to force
an a running back down as opposed to letting you
drag you for two yards. You know. That's to me,
that's where you see the lack of conviction in a program,
and once it starts happening, if you start losing games,

(01:03:48):
I just think it's really difficult to turn it around.
I think we saw that last year, and I think
we saw it this year. So yeah, to me, all
of the mishaps of that game, the you know, the
lack of discipline, the silly penalties, the dumbness vision, I mean,
it was it was incredible. But to me, that's not
necessarily coaching stuff. That's You've got a bunch of kids
who right now are lost because you know the season's

(01:04:09):
going downhill. They hear all the chatter about their head
coach is about to be fired, and it's just hard
for those guys to focus the way you need to
to play successful college football.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Irishchafell with us from warchand dot com. Irish stand by.
When we get back, we're going to get to some
of the comments that I hear, and we'll kind of
direct those to IRA in forms of questions and what
lies ahead. Look, football is the driving force for any
athletic program, except maybe Duke. But I mean, I mean,

(01:04:38):
look at Indiana right now, renowned basketball program. Basketball's kind
of been it for the last couple decades, and all
of a sudden, you've got it a football school, a
number three ranked for Indiana. In Florida State can't win
a game in the ACC against arguably maybe the worst
team in the league due to injuries. Hours the Morning

(01:05:00):
Show with Preston Scott back with Irishcheffel of war chant
dot com Managing editor. Subscribe. War chant dot com dot
com is where you go to get all the recruiting information,

(01:05:23):
all the news, and you'll trust me, you'll hear what's
going on in this coaching issue at Florida State football.
You'll find it at war chant dot com. Irad, there
are reports right now that after the game at Stanford,
the players were almost mocking Mike Norkvel talking about the
word respond because it's become kind of a punchline in

(01:05:45):
the program. And you and I've talked about the fact
that Mike Norvale's communication style can come across very monotone
and one note and the by all accounts he's lost
the team.

Speaker 7 (01:05:59):
Well, you know, listen, I would push back a little
bit on that report. And I know, you know, when
something's reported it it kind of becomes fact in the narrative.
But uh, you know, I talked to two I talked
to two different people, And I'm not saying that didn't happen.
I'm not saying that a player didn't joke or and
that may have happened. But I talked to one person
on the football staff who was in the locker room,
and they said that locker room was very quiet and sad.

(01:06:22):
Those guys are dejected. They don't understand what's going wrong either.
And then I heard talk to somebody who's on the
plane who's not on the football staff. There's somebody in
the athletics department, and they said you could hear a
pin drop on that plane the whole way home. So
I don't get the you know, the image from that
anecdote was like guys were joking around, laughing and clowning
their head coaches about to be fired. That's not the

(01:06:42):
perception that two different people gave me who were there.
But I would say that that doesn't mean he hasn't
lost the team. I mean the way the team played
indicates that he's lost the team. The interaction that I've
reported on and tweeted about during the game where you know,
he gets gets into it with that when Joseph the
of their defensive backs after two terrible plays and you know,

(01:07:04):
the kids going back in them, and then he ends
up letting him play the next series. Those are indications
that you may have lost the team. But I just
want to push back on that. That's that story that's
out there is not exactly what was described to me.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Tell me your thoughts on playing a clearly injured and
not Tommy Castellanos. Again, we've talked about this before. I
don't think he's the best option at quarterback.

Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Well, I definitely, you know, if this is if he
if he's gonna be limited to run to where you
end up just kind of running the ball up the
middle twenty thirty times a game, which they've done these
last couple of games. Now, I don't think he he
It makes a whole lot of sense right now, you know.
I think if he's healthy enough to play, then he
needs to be able to run. If he's not going
to run. This offense is not going to go very far,

(01:07:52):
and so so I'm with you on that. The problem is,
you know, we don't know what Kevin Sperry looks like
in practice. You know, they were very high on him
in the spring. We did see him at one scrimmage
that was open to the media, and he looked impressive,
but that was mostly running the ball. We have not
seen him throw the ball really well, or get we
haven't seen him get a lot of opportunities to throw
the ball. And then when he got thrown into that

(01:08:13):
crazy situation at the end of the game, it's hard
to judge. But yeah, I mean, if Taslanis is the
best you've got right now, then that means, you know,
Kevin Sperry and Brocklyn, you just don't trust them at all.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
One of the things that you hear a lot is
how does a coach have a thirteen and oh team?
And of course we were going to set aside the
injury plague then the guys who left for the NFL
Draft part of that season, but how do they do it?
And I point to d Well, if you look at it,
there weren't a bunch of dominant wins in that thirteen
and o season. They got by on talent, they got

(01:08:48):
by on Jordan Travis and leadership of a couple guys
on both sides of the ball. Would it be fair
to maybe be a little dismissive of that season?

Speaker 7 (01:08:59):
You know, I mean, I I think in this context,
you know you can, you can do that. I just
think that you did have a special group of players
that really were a perfect fit for Mike Norvel. I mean,
you had a lot of self driven, self motivated guys
on that team who had been through different experiences that
made them receptive to Mike Norvel's message. You know, Jordan

(01:09:19):
Travis is always going to mean He's been so vocal
about supporting Mike Norvel here in these last few weeks
because he feels like Mike Norvel played a huge role
in turning his life around, not on his college journey.
Jared Versus, the guy that started his career at Albany,
was not recruited out of high school by barely anybody.
He's self driven guy. Brandon Fist, self driven guy. Teta Massoon,

(01:09:40):
who played at UCP before he came before, said all
those guys were very self driven and so Mike Norvell's
message I think resonated with them. I think for other players,
and like you said, maybe over time, maybe guys do
start tuning it out. But but I wouldn't I wouldn't
take all credit away from Mike Norvel. I do think
you had a unique set of guys on that team.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Sixteen past the Hour, One more segment to go with
Irishafelle of war chan dot com tough times at Florida
State Football, the Noles on a four game downer and

(01:10:20):
joining us the managing editor at worchand dot com Irishchafell, Ira,
what's your best guess on what the next? I mean,
I would think if you're going to make the change,
it would have been done yesterday or today, because you
are in a bye week and you've got roughly two
weeks to reset things.

Speaker 7 (01:10:36):
Yeah, I mean that's I think that was the thought process.
But again, it's such a big undertaking, so they may
be trying to do everything they can to lock everything
in place, because you know, listen, I'm sure this has
been a scenario they saw could be coming as recently
as a couple of weeks ago. But I think they've
all they've constantly been hoping that you beat Pittsburgh, you
beat Stamford, so you have a chance to get more

(01:10:58):
time to figure out what you're going to do. Now
everything is sped up and they have to do something.
But I think they also want to be as practical
as possible. So it could happen today, It could happen
this morning, It could happen as soon as we get
off the phone. But it also could take a few
more days. They don't have a game for a week
and a half, almost two weeks, so it's not like
there's this deadline to meet. The only deadline really is

(01:11:20):
the fans are panicked or frustrated, especially because Florida fire
Billy Napier, so there's a feeling like, oh, they're getting
a head start, but otherwise nothing really changes by waiting
a few days to iron everything out.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
All right, let me give you a few yes or
no type questions and elaborate a moment on each one.
Do you expect Mike Norville to be coaching the next
FSU football game?

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
It doesn't seem likely. I just don't. Again, that game
was so bad. It's not just a matter of like
you lost on a controversial play. Which it was a
controversial play at the end, and then you've had a
couple of those things go against you. Again, We've seen
how this team is playing. They're not responding him. It's
very obvious the way they play right now. So I
don't see what the point would be for having to

(01:12:05):
haven't coached another game.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
I don't think it's I mean it to me, he's
low hanging fruit. Obviously you're going to have. If that happens,
you're gonna have one of the two lead assistants. My
guests would be Gus Malsan be asked to serve as
an interim head coach. Whether he accepts or not, I
would expect he would. But do you see either of
the two coordinators being the next head coach at Florida

(01:12:29):
State University?

Speaker 8 (01:12:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:12:32):
No, I think you're one hundred percent right. I think
when they looked at putting together this staff after last season,
I think when you you looked at last season's roster
or coaching staff, if things had gone poorly, who would
you have made the interim head coach if you had
to in that situation, If you if you brought those
guys back and you know you still have Odella round
You can do round three of that, right, But yeah,

(01:12:52):
I think Gus Malson. I think part of the reason
you brought Gus Malsan in was is kind of a
backup plan and if something like this happened. So yeah,
I have no doubt Gus Malzan would be the interim
head coach. Is he a candidate for the for the
real thing? I mean, I think that's it may depend
on how things go the last five weeks. I certainly
have not loved what I've seen from this offense the
last few weeks. Really, you know, the Alabama game was awesome,

(01:13:14):
and then you had two ridiculous games that you really
can't even quantify. So you have one game, one game
on the positive side of the ledger, and a few
games that are not on the positive side, or at
least a couple that are not on the positive side
of the ledger. And I also don't know that Gus
Malson resonates. We talked about whether or not Mike Norvel
resonates with players. I don't know if gust does. He
did in the last during his tenure at UCF the

(01:13:35):
last couple of years, and he didn't at the end
of his time at Auburn, so I don't know how
strong of a candidate he is. He would be the
most economical candidate because I think he would take it,
probably assuming he would take it. He says he doesn't
want to be a head coach, but if he would
take it, I'm sure he could get him a lot
cheaper than a lot of these other coaches that are
going to be out there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
What is your best guess on how the rest of
this season unfolds or is it a complete and hundred
percent coin toss.

Speaker 7 (01:14:02):
I mean, if I was putting money out, I would
assume it continues to go poorly. I don't think anything
that we've seen right now makes you even if you
make a coaching change, and sometimes that gives guys a
new new life. They there because they're not hearing about
it anymore. You would go if you had an interim
head coach, you wouldn't hear the players. The players wouldn't
be bombarded by people asking about your head coach being fired,

(01:14:23):
so there would be a those guys could relax a
little bit. They might play better, so you could play
a little bit better. But my guess is the season
is going to continue to go poorly and then you're
gonna have to figure out who's going to be the
next head coach going forward. But like I said, you know,
this doesn't feel like a scenario where you just need
a new voice and they're gonna start playing great again.

(01:14:43):
I think in this era, kids are already starting to
think about are they coming back, are they going somewhere else.
They're being reached out to by other schools, representatives of
their schools. It just gets harder and harder during a
season like this than it does get easier.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
Yeah, because you're not going to find your next head
coach and official name your next head coach until whenever,
and that's going to really complicate things for the players.
You might want to try to find a way to
keep around town.

Speaker 7 (01:15:09):
Yeah, And that goes back to my point about Billy Napier.
I think there's a there's a fomo thing going on.
I think with the fan base where they feel like, Okay,
Florida's getting a head start now, so you're left at
the altar because they've got a head start, Well, they're
not going to hire a Florida's not going to hire
a head coach probably for maybe four or five weeks.
Maybe possibly a little bit shorter than that, but I
doubt it, and Florida State's not going to be in

(01:15:30):
a position to either now you could, you know, reports
come out that you're talking to certain people that might
be something the players listen to. But yeah, I mean
this is all Unfortunately, the new transfer portal window isn't
until January, but if you do fire a coach, those
players do have the right to go into the portal.
We've seen it now with players at Oklahoma State. Florida
State's actually recruiting a guy that is at Oklahoma State

(01:15:52):
right now because their head coach got fired. Same thing
at a couple other schools that have already made decisions,
So you could lose players pretty quickly. But you really
can a lockdown your next day coach, unless it's maybe
an NFL guy until you get closer to December.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
Ira, you're a hero man. Thanks for joining us on
a tough Monday morning, and we'll give you a week off.
We'll talk again in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 7 (01:16:14):
Sounds great. I appreciate pressing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Thank you, Iras Chafell with us F s U off
this coming weekend, so we're gonna We're gonna skip the
segment next week. We'll just let things play out twenty
eight past the hour. I probably couldn't drum, but I

(01:16:50):
could do this stuff. I could. I could, you know,
hit the little cow bell and I could, you know,
do the extra little finger symbols and drummers. Blow my mind.
The ability to keep two, three, four different rhythms is

(01:17:13):
just staggering to me. Well, anyway, welcome friends. Tomorrow on
the program, we will discuss the whole what's gone wrong
in the Middle East, and I'm going to try to
help you understand why we're not going to see peace
in the Middle East as you and I would understand peace.
I appreciate what Donald Trump tried to do, and it's

(01:17:34):
great that there were a bunch of people celebrating. But well,
I'll just wait till tomorrow. We'll talk about that tomorrow.
Trying to get an expert from Heritage Foundation to join
me to talk a little bit more about the historical
context of everything there. But I will definitely give you
some historical context tomorrow on the show. President Trump Big

(01:17:57):
Stories in the press Box. Commuting the sentence of Form
Representative George Santos, he pled guilty, sentenced to seven years.
Trump's like, why why seven years? It's ridiculous. Some of
it's solitary. It's ridiculous. So he community sentence. I'm wondering
about the parole, not commutation, the parole for Patrick Tate
a Domiak. ATF trapped him. If you look at what

(01:18:23):
the ATF agent did, they trapped him and they manipulated
evidence and framed him. If you don't know that story,
you need to know that story Patrick Tate a Domiak.
I've personally posted requests for Trump to parton him. You

(01:18:46):
need to pardon the kid. Minnesota has just admitted that
illegals can vote in their elections, and they can do
so with a new law that Tim Walls signed at
even greater numbers. This is how communities get surrendered. Over

(01:19:07):
look at what's happened to communities in Minnesota. They are
sanctuaries for Somalis that hate this country. But they want
the resources of this country, they want the wealth of
this country, they want the government. They want to take
it over, and so they're doing it one community at

(01:19:28):
a time. We've documented it on our History segment this morning.
The long game that the left has been playing with communism.
That is the goal, and they're doing it and they
look enemy of my enemy is my friend. Islamis and
commies are now getting along. Socialists in islamis getting along.

(01:19:50):
Why to accomplish a goal to destroy America? Now you're
giving more and more people in this country illegally, and
a ton of them in Minnesota that are Islamis a ton,
you are giving them more and more control of government.

(01:20:11):
I still think our constitution forbids this. That's I think.
I think it forbids a communist Marxist socialist from running
for office. They have to go into hiding to run
for office. I believe the Constitution would would dictate that,
and I believe that then when they acted in a
Marxist communist socialist manner, you can remove them from office

(01:20:36):
because they're not upholding the constitution in the laws of
the country. That's what I that's my personal conviction. ICE
agents have arrested a police officer in a suburb of
Chicago that has been in this country illegally for a decade.
You may ask, how is it that he's a police officer?
Then yeah, right, great question, and the shutdown can continues.

(01:21:00):
We established last hour that a few people care. They
care for a whole lot of different reasons, but that
in general you're not noticing who cares. That's the general philosophy.
I think a lot of people have. Oh the government
shut down. Oh I didn't notice forty one minutes after
the hour. We're gonna come back and take inside the

(01:21:22):
Supreme Court. Next, federalists summarizing six key moments from the
arguments in the Supreme Court of the United States redistricting

(01:21:44):
case Louisiana versus Calais and Robinson Versus Calais, and these
cases could really have an impact on the future of
elections in this country. Focuses on a dispute over the
use of race in Louisiana's congressional map. The state's initial

(01:22:08):
map included a single black majority district. A lawsuit and
subsequent legal battle led lawmakers to redraw the map to
include a second black majority district, producing another legal battle
that's centered on the state's allegedly unlawful use of race
when creating the new map. You can't do that, so

(01:22:31):
we're in the fight now. We've talked about er point
one in this article was Associate Justice Katanji Brown Jackson
referencing black people as being disabled, that she likened them
to being disabled, that she didn't see this any differently
than the Americans with Disability Act. And it's like, you've

(01:22:52):
got to be kidding me. If I'm black, I am
beyond insulted by this inference that there need to be
think about the ADA. What does the American with Disabilities
Act do? It creates specific requirements to allow access to

(01:23:14):
a bathroom, into stores, into buildings, into public buildings. For
those with handicaps, you have to put specific types of
guard rails, and I'm not talking literally, just only literally,
but also figuratively guard rails in place to help people
that are handicapped from being able to engage in the

(01:23:36):
actions and activities of those that are not. This is
the argument that Katanji Brown Jackson is making that Blacks
are requiring guardrails because they're incapable, they're disabled, they're mentally
disabled from being able to fill in the blank. Second issue,

(01:23:58):
Justice Thomas asked a very simple question, what role did
the federal District court's block on the state's initial map
play in the development of a new map. The state responded,
it's the only reason why the map was made. The
only reason we made the second map that was a
black majority district was because the court said we had
to and we had to do it based strictly on race,

(01:24:20):
which by the way, is a violation of the law.
Now that gets us to this back and forth between
Principal Deputy Solicitor General Hashimmupan, who got into a bit
of a back and forth with Associate Justice Sonya Sodemayer.
And this is a debate on the racial and political

(01:24:44):
motivations behind the creation of these maps. Listen to what
he says and what she says, and then what he
says in response. It's brilliant.

Speaker 13 (01:24:53):
And so what is happening here is their argument is
because these Democrats happened to be black, they get a
second district. If they were all white, we all agree
they wouldn't against second district. That is literally the definition
of race subordinating traditional principles.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
That's I mean, hang on, we want to.

Speaker 13 (01:25:12):
Control for partisan effect. There was racially polarized voting even
within the Democratic Party. That's where Section two matters, where
you have a reason to think that a racial group
is being.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
Treated here too, you have proof of that here.

Speaker 13 (01:25:25):
No, you know what you have here is that Republicans
and Democrats are different. There's no way you have some
that even white Republicans or white Democrats won't won't vote
for black candidates. Right, But if these were white Democrats,
there's no reason to think they would have a second district.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
None.

Speaker 13 (01:25:43):
And so what is happening here is their argument is
because these Democrats happen to be black, they get a
second district. If they were all white, we all agree
they wouldn't against second district. That is literally the definition
of race subordinating traditional principles.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Boom mic drop. There's reason to think that this case
is going to end badly for the left. Neil Gorsich
trapped an NAACP attorney in his questioning. There was a
pretty notable exchange between Brett Kavanaugh, Justice Kavanaugh and the

(01:26:18):
defenders of all of this stuff. It's so interesting how
they're trying to justify discrimination. But that's what the left does.
They accuse others of being and doing what they in
fact are and do. How is it possible that mandating

(01:26:41):
a voting district be black is anything other than discrimination
against those who are white or any other minority for
that matter. And what as the Solicitor General said, what
if it's reversed, so we're gonna draw districts that benefit

(01:27:04):
only white people? What? Forty eight minutes after the hour,

(01:27:36):
and I try to end the program, a little bit
of an upnode. Something lifts you up, and I'm gonna
do it again today. Back in twenty fourteen, Stacy Abrams
founded the New Georgia Project. You're listening to me, peaches.

(01:27:58):
This was touted as the poster child her efforts to
voot boost democratic voter turnout in Georgia. Of course, back
in January, the New Georgia Project admitted to admitted to
violating sixteen state laws in twenty eighteen by illegally campaigning

(01:28:23):
in favor of Abram's first subernatorial bid. Had to pay
a fine confessing to investing three point two million that
year to operate at least ten field offices to support Abrams,
which is a direct violation of its registration as a
non partisan charitable voter registration group. It is it is

(01:28:46):
a no no. So that was the beginning. But I
promise you good news. They're closing. Stacy abrams pet project
is a failure. Legally, it violated laws and now they're
shuddering and closing it down. Peaches reject anything that Stacy

(01:29:07):
Abrams has her hand on anything. Anything I've warned you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
It's the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Show on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Even though I couldn't talk for some of the day,
you and I carried the mail, We did the heavy lifting,
got your calls in talking about the government shutdown? Do
you even care? Had some interesting comments, thoughtful reflections. Talked
to Iris Chaffel. Not my best day, what wasn't my

(01:29:40):
best interview? And I figured out why I'm too emotionally invested.
I care too much. If you would have been at
the house with me watching the second half of that game.
The first half was bad enough. I fell asleep, but
I woke up for the second half and I was
just like, are you kidding me? Yeah? So, what's gonna

(01:30:09):
happen with the FSU football? We don't know, Michael Alford,
I don't know if Michael knows, but the the story
will be followed here very very closely, because it matters.
Big stories in the press box covered those few times.
Tomorrow we're gonna do it again. We'll have a mainly

(01:30:30):
minute plus we're gonna explain why peace with Israel is
probably not gonna happen, at least with Hamas. Have a
great day.
