Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Morning Show singers, and God bless America. Good morning friends,
Welcome to November. I will almost almost bet you that
we will not have a hurricane hit this state this year.

(00:24):
The cooler weather, I think, is going to prohibit the
development of anything that will. I mean, the cold is
just pushing everything away, and I'm grateful for it. Welcome, great, Wait,
what a beautiful Saturday. Oh my goodness, gracious and FSU football.

(00:46):
One of course, my Packers lost yesterday, devastating to the weekend,
because otherwise it would have been a perfect sweep for
my sports teams. You had, well, no, because, as you said,
lost to last night. But that's okay, It's well, it's
not okay. I'm really upset about it all. But that's

(01:08):
all right. I'm fine. I don't have my eyes fixed
on that. Here we go, God's word, this word ought
to be Romans twelve, verse two. Do not be conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that by testing you may discern what is
the will of God? What is the good and acceptable

(01:29):
and perfect? What is good and acceptable and perfect. Here's
what's interesting. Yesterday our pastors spent a little bit of
time talking about how the online world, our smartphones, our
laptops are tablets are in essence the Catechism to a

(01:51):
different religion, the secular world, and that we are being
indoctrinated by the amount of time we spend. And it's
like anything else, you know, a phone can be a
moral it can be an agent of good. It can

(02:13):
be a tool in the hands of someone that knows
how to properly put restraints on themselves, put discipline in
their lives. But this verse really is about our social
media habits and where we're spending our time. Do not
be conformed to this world. So what do you say

(02:37):
You take a real hard, fast look at how much
time you have with a phone in your hand. Needlessly.
We're not talking about calls for business and accepting client
calls and talking with family. We're talking needless time. Just
do a little self reflection. Ten past the hour, let's

(02:58):
get going Monday and a Monday. It will be here
on The Morning Show with Preston Scott just about twelve

(03:18):
past the hour, Monday, November third, show, fifty four eighty
six of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. So I
can guarantee you we will get to show fifty five
hundred plus by the end of this year, which is
pretty cool. I don't know when exactly Show fifty five
hundred is, and I don't want a cake or anything
like that, you know, But now I think we'll save

(03:43):
that for Show six thousand. When we get to Show
six thousand, we'll do something special on that day. But
it's November third, this time of year. For the next
several days, it'll a lot of election history because I mean,
like tomorrow day, big day elections across the country. So

(04:09):
we'll we'll see what happens. It's look neverrine, I just
pause right there, the pause button. Eighteen sixty eight, Republican
Ulysses Ask Grant defeats Democrat Horatio Seymour to become the
eighteenth US President. Eighteen ninety six, Republican William McKinley defeats

(04:30):
Democrat William Jennings Bryan. It becomes in the twenty fifth
US President. Nineteen twenty four, President Calvin Coolidge, and a
radio address reminds Americans of their duty to vote this
it's your duty to vote. There you go, That's what
he said, Thank you. The radio nineteen forty eight, The

(04:54):
Chicago Daily Tribune announces Dewey defeats Truman. Front page headline
went in fact, Truman had come from behind to win
the presidential race. Great photo of Harry S. Truman holding
up the headline. Do he defeats Truman and he's laughing, ah,
as he had won in nineteen sixty four? And comment

(05:16):
President Lyndon B. Johnson Lyndon Baines Johnson defeats Republican challenger
Barry Goldwater. Oh well, sometimes you can't keep people from
making a mistake. Let's see here. It is National Broadcast
Traffic Professionals Day. Okay, it's actually yesterday, but because it

(05:43):
was a Sunday, they bump it to the Monday after.
It is Job Action Day, National Housewives Day, and National
Sandwich Day. What's your if you could eat just one sandwich,
just to say, a sandwich, a legitimate sandwich, and no

(06:03):
hot dogs, not a sandwich, a hamburger. I do not
consider this type of sandwich. I'm thinking something that you
would like get in a deli or some sandwich shop.
I would have to.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Say the turkey bacon ranch.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Okay, cheese, nice, nice choice? Yeah? I am torn between
a club three layers toasted. You gotta have the middle
layer of bread, in my opinion to have a good club.
And it's got to have the turkey and the ham
and the bacon. And my go to. My go to

(06:45):
is a corn beef hot corn beef and pastrami on
rye little deli, brown mustard, a little bit of mayo,
and Swiss cheese, not provolonge, it must be Swiss and

(07:06):
light rye bread is preferable. But rye bread that is
just to me, one of the finest sandwiches that God
has ever allowed to be created. Sixteen minutes past the hour,
come back with a speaking of food, I was looking

(07:56):
at the did you notebook that my son's got me,
So this is the brother's segment here. The royal flush
is the best hand you can get in coke and poker. Now. Now,
a royal flush, now, I've always preferred seven cards stud
because you get more cards turned up, and I've always

(08:19):
liked knowing what was up more just kind of helped
me play. But a royal flush all in one suit
ten through ace, your odds of getting one are six
hundred and forty nine thousand plus to one. So if
you're playing with some dude that gets them a couple
times a night or once every time you play. Yeah,

(08:42):
you might want to find a new friend. Just say it,
just saying I mentioned food. Have you heard because you're
all about Chick fil A?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, you are a former filayer?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Ope, sure am almost a decade.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Have you ever heard of Red Wagon Ventures? No, sir,
red wanker? Have you ever heard of Red Wagon Ventures?
Signor now you've just totally confused me. It's a subsidiary
of Chick fil A. Now it gets interesting. They are

(09:26):
opening up a new beverage focused concept place called Daybright.
The first store is now open in high Ram, Georgia.
It opened on Thursday last week, operated by Red Wagon
Ventures underneath the umbrella of Chick fil A, but it

(09:46):
features no Chick fil A items. It is hand crafted coffees, smoothies,
cold pressed juices, and food made with simple ingredients. So
they opened. I didn't know anything about this. Red Wagon
Ventures started in twenty seventeen, so Chick fil A's quietly

(10:08):
opened this thing up and has been spinning it up
over the last eight years create new concepts, foot and
services beyond Chick fil A restaurants. With the mission of
exploring new ventures. So here's what you get. They will
serve signature coffees, iced teas, lemonades, fizzes, bubbly sparkling beverages

(10:33):
made with fruit juices. They're gonna sell smoothies what they
call bright pressed juices whatever that means, daily donuts, their
hot takes, warm sandwiches, pressed burrito, english muffins filled with

(10:55):
delicious ingredients, other tasty bites made for dining on the go.
And then the kids menu that features kid friendly versions
of breakfast favorites, including a peanut butter and jelly and
sippable smoothies. I don't know if the idea was to

(11:16):
keep the Chick fil A connection under wraps, but if
it was, that's foolish because the best way to ensure
this thing becomes a behemoth is to say part of
the Chick fil A family, don't you agree? I mean,
Chick fil A has a spotless reputation. Yeah, you occasionally

(11:37):
get the I mean, one order out of a hundred
might get wrong. They might forget something, And there are
more and more young people work in the lines that
are not saying my pleasure. That's just a fact, and
I know that upsets the bosses of Chick fil A

(11:58):
when I say things like that. But hello, that's the truth. Okay,
you may not like me talking about the truth, but
that's the truth. Now, that doesn't say that It doesn't
mean the Chick fil A is not awesome, because it is.
You put Chick fil A's customer service up against any
other restaurant unless you're talking three star Michelin or five

(12:24):
star dining where the waiters and waitresses are like next level.
Because the entrees average forty five bucks. Chick fil A
has the best customer service of any restaurant that I
know of, consistently everywhere you go. But the newest generation

(12:45):
of workers aren't being held to the exact same standards
of you know, but they're still so far ahead of
everybody else. All I'm saying is Daybright will be a
an absolute bomb of a success. It will be incredible

(13:06):
if they they link it directly to Chick fil A
by simply allowing the branding to say part of the
Chick fil A family. Something like that be as unique
as it can be. That sounds really interesting. Hiram Georgia,
I don't. I got to figure out where Hiram Georgia
is seven to sorry twenty. I'll figure out how to

(13:29):
read before this morning's over. Trust me Radio one hundred
point seven WUFLA thirty five past the hour. Everyone feeling
like you got another hour of rest? I do because

(13:51):
we did. Clocks fell back. The question becomes, will will
Congress do what the overwhelming majority of Americans want done?
Stop it, stop changing the clocks every year. The overwhelming
majority of Americans want to put an end to this

(14:15):
back and forth between standard time and daylight savings time,
and they the majority want daylight savings time year round,
so to leave it where it was, where it's darker
in the morning and it stays lighter a little bit
later in the day versus the other way around. Florida

(14:37):
among a bunch of other states, have passed legislation on this.
What I know is if the states around Florida don't
do what Florida does, were in trouble because there's too
many people that commute into other states back and forth,
and it would be havoc for them because in certain
cases you'd have a two hour time change, and two
hours is you just you can't manage that. As of

(15:02):
October of this year, the Senate has failed to do
it previously. It was the House that failed to do it.
Fifty six percent of Americans would prefer daylight savings time
year round, forty two percent would have it year round
standard time, but the majority wanted to just stay whatever,
just lock it in and stay daylight savings time is. Obviously,

(15:26):
it goes back to the Agraean culture of our day.
We're no longer that. It just doesn't make sense because
honest and truly, farmers are relatively few and they're going
to do whatever they have to do to farm. Whatever

(15:49):
the time is doesn't really impact a farmer. The idea
was also to save us, you know, fuel during times
of war. It started in nineteen eighteen. Then in nineteen
sixty six you had the Uniform Time Act, which amended

(16:12):
the practice, which allowed states to exempt themselves in some
form or fashion. So there are those that do that anyway,
President Trump seeking a way to fund the SNAP program.
There are the repercussions of this government shutdown, which is
now a month old, are now starting to be felt.

(16:37):
And while I have no sympathy for the size of government,
I have great sympathy for some, though not all, because
there are some that are taking advantage of the system,
But there are others that are working and trying to
get by that need help. And let's be candid, church,

(17:00):
which is generally haven't stepped up. And that's why we
have this program. We have this program because church has
abdicated the responsibility to help. But at the same time,
people that aren't connected into a church, how do you
I mean, that's that's one of the benefits of being
part of a church family. When you need some help,
you might have more access to it. But the bottom

(17:22):
line is you've got judges out there saying not you
got to start paying them, You got to you gotta
restore payments today or by Wednesday. And Trump saying, look,
I'm trying to help, but we're we're limited by law.
There is there Allegedly Trump is seeking judicial guidance on
how he can restore payments. Uh, this is all on Democrats.

(17:45):
This is one they're owning it, they're bragging about it,
and there's there is no way around it. And so
we'll see what impact that has on on elections. Not
sure you know if it'll have much onto, but it
may have some in the midterms next year. So we'll
see that said. Police in the UK investigating a series

(18:10):
of stabbings. Ten passengers stabbed on a train in eastern
England near Cambridge. Here's the part of the story I
want to pick up. The Interior Minister, Shabana Mahmood said
she was deeply saddened and urged people to avoid comment

(18:32):
and speculation. Now I'm I could be wrong. I'm guessing
that's code for I'm an Islamist and I will I will,
I will have you arrested for posting things that suggest
this is part of some kind of Islamic thing. Now
they're not going to any great lengths to tell us
who they've arrested. They're saying it's not terrorism. All I

(18:54):
know is people are getting stabbed like crazy in the UK.
And he calls for the ending of knives. Well, actually
there are forty one minutes after the hour. Silly as
that sounds.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
We suggest you use the restroom before you listen or
invested at thirty foot catheter.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yes, I use it all the time.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Forty two past the hour. How did Chili cook Off go?
It went really really well?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, yeah, a white chicken chili won the contest.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
No, no, no, no, that's not chili. Well that's not
Look that may be good and awesome, but that's not chili.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well it it was that night.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
See That's why I'm not judging things like that, because
I would have said, ah, that's not chili. That might
be a fine soup, that might be a fine dish,
that might be incredible, But chili to me, has to
be red. It has to have beef and beans and

(20:27):
then whatever else you make it to make it chili.
So anyway, so a white chicken chili won the thing. Yeah,
it was delicious. Okay. Were there any chilies that I
would consider chili that were good? Yes? There was? Yeah.
How many chilies did you? Did you sample five? We

(20:50):
sampled five. There were only five entries. Yep, there's only five.
Only five put themselves out there as wanting to be judged. Yep. Okay,
So when you have that many chilies, and and let's
be honest, that's not a lot. No, are you sampling
more of the chili? Are you doing like a little

(21:12):
a cup of it? Yeah? It was. It was a
little cup.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
And we we were, you know, sampling way with crackers
or without without crackers. Okay, just playing just a chill yep,
just just tasting the chili, not how it marries with
a particular cracker or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Okay, okay, Uh. Costumes of plenty.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
There was a couple of costumes, but generally no.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. I went dressed up as a cowboy. Didn't do
the firefighter thing. Oh I thought you were gonna do
the firefighter thinking that you were gonna put out some
flames with that chili? Was the Now was the chicken
chili spicy? No?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
None of them had any level of spice that You're disappointed.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You were looking for some spice because you were gonna
go as a fireman. Yeah, oh man, okay, well we
had trigger treaders. I had one little boy dressed as
a campfire and it was incredible. His grandmother made the costume.
Now I don't know if it was No, your grandma

(22:12):
made this. You're wearing it. But a judge in Maryland
has custom gravestones put in his front yard. And he's
not just any judge. He's a Supreme Court justice in
the state of Maryland. And all of the gravestones have
to deal with political issues one deals with here lies

(22:35):
the Constitution, rest in peace, freedom of speech, rip food aid,
beware health insurance, rip do process, and then this one
rest in peace climate science. Here's the problem. He's listening
to a case right now is a Supreme Court justice
on climate change. He's getting ripped as well. He should

(23:02):
he Now the City of Baltimore, the City Council, is
suing BP, claiming that major oil companies knowingly misled the
public about the role of fossil fuels and climate change.
This whole crap. We'll talk to Greg Rystone about this
in just a little bit, but it's just this insanity.

(23:22):
But let's go back to the judge. What's he doing.
He should be disbarred. He should be kicked off the
Supreme Court and disbarred, shouldn't be allowed to rule. He
should have to recuse himself from this case, and he
should be pulled off the Supreme Court. But that's not
going to happen. I just wanted you to be aware
of it. Forty six minutes after the hour, Yeah, Greg Wrightstone,

(23:46):
Irish Chaffel and Erica Donald's today on the show. Fifty
two minutes. I just want to take a moment longer
and talk about this the root of this issue with
the State Supreme Court justice, first of all, under no circumstances,

(24:09):
as a judge permitted under most all judicial ethics to
publicly take positions on issues where the court is going
to have to weigh in. It's why I don't interview judges. Generally,
you don't see interviews with judges because they can't talk

(24:29):
about anything. They're boring. But I want to just go
back to this is a case involving the City of
Baltimore claiming that because big oil is not disclosing the
role of fossil fuels to climate change. What climate change

(24:51):
being caused by global oil? I mean what they're talking
about sea level rise and extreme weather. Our guests coming
up next to our Greg Wrdstone believes that there is
slight warming, but it has nothing to do with man.

(25:13):
It's the Earth being the Earth. I don't necessarily think
that there's much warming. We're certainly not seeing the sea
level rise that everyone said we would have. And that's
why all the big resort companies are building resorts on
some of the lowest lying properties on the planet in
the middle of oceans because they're not worried about it.

(25:34):
But that said sea level rise in extreme weather, like
all the hurricanes that have hit. Do you see, the
weather just will be the weather. It's unpredictable. There's certain
things that we kind of have an idea on. But
I'm sorry we did not have the hurricane season that

(25:56):
everyone said we will all but they had all the
name storms and what did they do. There was basic
devastation being predicted for parts of the country and it
just didn't happen, Praise God. But there will be other
years that it does. I just I'm so frustrated listening

(26:16):
to this nonsense that BP has to defend itself against
this kind of thing, which contributes to the cost of fuel,
these kind of lawsuits. FBI has busted fourteen Mississippi law
enforcement officers for alleged drug trafficking. They were taking bribes

(26:40):
allegedly to safeguard the conspiracy. And that's just part of
the conspiracy. This gets to it being a far bigger
problem than just blowing up cartels in the ocean. And
I'm all good with it as long as we are
giving warning and we're saying take your boat out out

(27:04):
of its drive and let it float. We're gonna board
your boat we're gonna see what you got. If they're
not doing it, they're not adhering to the demands of
our military to stop, we're gonna check your blow them up.
I don't care. Doesn't bother me, I know it bothers
a few of the Democrats out there. Does not bother me.

(27:28):
But this bothers me that we've got law enforcement people, officers,
and many of them involved in this are are carrying
their firearms, so that ramps up the charges. You can't
have a gun while you're conducting drug trafficking. It's kind
of an interesting added little bonus in the in the
charging of these guys. And I'm saying, guys, I'm just

(27:49):
guessing nineteen we're charged with violating the federal firearm laws
that prohibit carrying a firearm while drug trafficking. And oh,
by the way, you can't do that either. But really,
law enforcement, really, I will I will be fascinated to
take a look at the profile of these men. Are

(28:11):
they veterans, are they newbies? What? You know? What breakdown
of them ethnically are they? Are they white? Are they
middle class?

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Lower?

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Are they black? Are they Asian? Are they Hispanic? What
are the connection why are they? I mean, obviously they're
doing this for the money. But good on the Feds.
All right, we come back Greg Ridstone. He's author of
a couple of books. He's authored a book that we've
talked about since it came out, Inconvenient Facts, and then
his latest book is A Very Convenient Warming. So Greg

(28:44):
Ridestone joins us next about the Bill Gates one forty five.
Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Here we
go our number two. Osey over there in Study one A.

(29:07):
I'm here in Study one B. It's Monday, November third,
show fifty four eighty six of The Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Great to be with you friends. We were
introduced to this gentleman a long time ago when his
book Inconvenient Facts came out. I got to know Greg
Wrightstone a little bit, and we've had him as a
guest on the program ever since. A second book followed,

(29:29):
A Very Convenient Warming, and he is the executive director
of the CO two Coalition. Greg. Good to have you
back on the show. How are you, friend?

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Good?

Speaker 5 (29:38):
And I have good news to report from the climate
change front. We are winning bigly, not as good well, I.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
You know I called because I talked about you last
week when I saw the story in Epic Times about
Bill Gates. I won't call it a one eighty. I'll
say it's one forty five. Is that fair? He did a.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
Yeah, he went about as far as you could expect
him to go by by what we're talking about here
is his near retraction of climate crisis. He says, you know,
I was wrong about this. You know, he says, we'll
have serious consequences, but you know what, We're all going
to survive. People will be able to thrive and live

(30:23):
in nearly every climate. It's not going to be the
catastrophe that I've been talking about for the last thirty years.
And so this is a huge, huge reversal. And bear
in mind, Bill Gates has been funding to the tunes
of hundreds of millions of dollars some of these many
other groups, and he's pulling his funding on some of these.

(30:44):
And one of those one of those organizations actually is
pulled from is the Breakthrough Institute. Ted Northouse was the
founder there and he also almost I think it was
the day before the Gates came out. Ted Northouse, you've
probably never heard of him, but he was a huge
crime and alarmist and oh yeah, I said just about

(31:06):
the same thing he said, you know. And then following
on to that, we had interviews on Joe Rogan with
our founder will Hafer, doctor William Haffer, and Richard Lendzon
the two hours on Rogan that reached probably twenty million people,
talking about the realities of climate change and how it's

(31:27):
beneficial not catastrophic.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Well, and then it still gets back down to you know,
we were just talking about a story. Greg in Maryland
Supreme Court is taking on a case brought by the
Council of Baltimore, the Mayor and the city Council against
BP and they're claiming, you know, fossil fuels, climate change
costing all this damage, sea level rise, extreme weather, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But what we constantly see is

(31:52):
none of the dire predictions, none of them happened. They
don't come true.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
They don't. You know, we have to wonder now why
Gates and Nordhouse and these others are moving back. And
I've been saying now for decades, you know, eventually the
truth will win out, and it always does. It just
might take longer than we would like, and I think
we're seeing that today. Like you say, the predictions they
make all false, are none of them put pan out,

(32:22):
and they continue doing it. Just last week about the
Great Barrier Reef. I'll be writing about that in the
newsletter this week, claiming that eighty percent of coral reefs
around the world are dying, and nothing could be further
from the truth. The Great Barrier Reef in twenty twenty
four had the largest they started doing these surveys in
nineteen eighty three. In twenty twenty four, I had the

(32:44):
largest amount of coral that they've surveyed, breaking records of
healthy corals and the Great Barrier if. But they're saying
just the opposite. They're lying, and they've been able to
lie and get away with it for decades.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Now.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Hopefully that will all around and we can expose and
we've been, you know, with your help, we've been exposing
some of their lives. But hopefully when we'll get a big, big,
big turnaround here, and if Gates can pulse some in
his funding like he is now, maybe some of this
climate rhetoric will be toned down and we'll get the

(33:20):
truth out there.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Greg Ridstone with me for another segment, Executive director of
the CO two Coalition. You can find it online. You
can get his books Inconvenient Facts and a Very Convenient Warming.
It should be noted that Greg is a professional educated
geologist by trade. This is turned into the need to

(33:42):
just try to present facts against all of the hoax
and hoax that is impacting our lives dramatically. Still more
to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Back

(34:02):
with geologists, author and executive director of the COEO two Coalition,
Greg Ridstone. Greg by trade, you study things in a
very different world. That takes a lot of time, and
yet you find yourself sort of steering a coalition of
scientists and experts that recognize that this move using what

(34:29):
I call global warming as a vehicle. We don't have time.
We have to push back because the transformation to our
economy and our culture has been pretty dramatic. Given it's
been built on myths.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
It is.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
But you know what, boy, ever since Trump came in,
it's just been a u turn and we've been seeing
really really good things coming out of Washington, d C.
I never thought I would say that again after years
of the Biden administration just keeping one climate nonsense factoid
or non factoid onto another and imposing regulations and over

(35:10):
regulations on us. Chris Wright at the Department of Energy,
Lee Zelden at EPA, boy, they're really, really, really pushing back.
And here at the CO two Coalition we're working. We
provide the science, the facts and the data in support
of what Zeldm and Wright are doing. And even Chris

(35:31):
Duffiet or a Sean Duffy at the Department of Transportation.
We'll be filing a comment coming up on transportation issues.
And so that's our role as scientists. We stay out
of the politics as best we can. It's hard to
with this subject matter, but we supply that the facts
and the data is to support this.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
And we've got to.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
Our senior legal counsel is Chuck Weller, who's devised a
great legal strategy using science. And when we file these
comments for the EPA and Department of Energy for their deregulation.
These are all filed and created with the expectation that
it will eventually be heard at the Supreme Court, because

(36:16):
what they will do there's this called the endangerment finding.
Each of these repeals will go through and then it
will be sued by the Environmental Defense Fund or whoever,
and then it'll go to the Fifth Circuit Court of
DC that will rule in favor of the alarmists, and
then DOE or EPA will appeal that and it ends

(36:37):
up the Supreme Court. So our comments and our science
are all designed to be used so it can be
in support of the Supreme Court overturning some of the
previous really really bad rulings under both Obama and Biden
administrations their epas, because they've regulated, they have systematically stripped

(37:00):
freedoms away from everyone listening to this this morning. You
don't know the freedom to choose what kind of light
bulbs to use. Dishwashers, washer dryers, even your ceiling fans
are highly regulated. They're more expensive. They're not more they say,
for example, dishwasher precedent new dishwashers. They say they're highly efficient. Well,

(37:24):
i'll tell you what. The government's definition of efficient is
a lot different than my wife's definition. The government says
they're using less electricity and less water. That might be true.
My wife's definition of a good dishwasher is one that
gets the dishes clean and dried in thirty minutes or less,
and we don't have that now. These are now two

(37:46):
and a half to three and sometimes four hour cycles
for a dishwasher, all to save a couple of a
couple little bit of electricity and water.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Greg, you talk about the dam maybe possibly start to break.
Is there one particular case, one particular regulation, one thing
that you're looking at that could be that that part
of the dam that really opens it up.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, it's already, they've already. It's the card.
We've got the stack of cards or house of cards.
When we pull this one out, the whole house of
cards collapse. It's called the endangerment finding. Under the Obama
e p A. In two thousand and nine, they found
that carbon dioxide was was a pollutant and could be regulated.

(38:31):
It's not a pollutant, No, it's not. And so this
this is we filed comments were open. We filed two
separate comments and there mind, these comments need to be
reviewed by EPA and consideration of the repeal of this rule.
They need any any sufficient comment that's filed, they have

(38:53):
to consider it. And so we'll be using that and
that will eventually be used in the Supreme Court and
so it's going through the it's gone through the comment process.
EPA is the process of going through the thousands of
comments that were filed. And I anticipate at some point
over the next few months EPA and Lee's Eldam will
come out and say, you know what, We're still going

(39:15):
to be reviewed all the comments and we're going to
repeal it. And that's one again, one of the one
of the alarmist groups will will sue and it ends
up the Fifth Circuit and then the Supreme Court. But
this endangerment finding is what we'll bring, this whole house
of cards falling down when it is repealed. That's everything
is They're really been based on this notion the carbon

(39:36):
dioxide is a pollute and it is not. It's they
call it the demon molecule. We call it the miracle molecule.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Go Greg, thanks as always the books Inconvenient Facts, a
second book of very Convenient Warming Warming, and I want
to invite you to sign up. Go to CO two
Coalition dot org, get on their mailing list, get the
weekly newsletters sent out. Greg writes in it routinely. Greg,
thanks as always for the work you're doing and for
making time for us.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Greg Ridestone with us this morning, seventeen passed the hour.

(40:28):
How is it possible that Barack Obama was able to
convince people and how his government administration? Well, it's al Gore.
Al Gore lied to all of you, to everybody. He's
still lying. He's a liar. All of this global warming

(40:49):
stuff is a bunch of hooey. Whatever's going on in
the climate, it's because the Earth is just the Earth.
We're not speeding up anything, We're not slowing down anything.
The warming CO two I don't didn't you learn it
in school? I should be let me back up. If

(41:11):
you're younger, you might not have learned it in school.
If you're younger, they might not have bothered to tell
you that CO two is a required element to our
being able to live. I want you to think about

(41:33):
this for a second. We take in oxygen, we exhale
CO two. The global fanatics want to limit anything, eliminate
anything that produces CO two? How far? How far before

(41:55):
they go to you? I think we need to eliminate you.
You breathe oxygen, you breathe out CO two. That's a
harmful gas. No, it's what plants require to live. That's
why whenever there is a higher CO two content the
earth greens, areas that could not grow vegetation i e.

(42:19):
Farm Land become more fertile and able to produce crops.
It feeds more people, and it will change. It'll get
cold again, then it'll get warm again. And have you

(42:40):
noticed how little you hear from al Gore in the
last few years. Al Gore is laughing at all of
us because he's made millions and millions and millions of
dollars off of all of them. Yes, forcing us into

(43:03):
these alternative technologies where he owned stock, where he's a founder,
where he's a silent partner, all of this with the
help of Barack Obama. Barack Obama, Yeah right when I
hear him talk now, I just get nauseous showing up

(43:27):
in Virginia campaigning for that foolish, ridiculous candidate and for that.
And we'll talk more about the attorney general in Virginia
in a little bit. But oh my gosh, the guy
wants to be the attorney general. But I'm grateful for
Greg Wrightstone, the work that he does. You know, as

(43:49):
a geologist, he looks at things through a very long
long lens. And as I mentioned in my question, which
was a little lengthier than I would have preferred, we
don't have time. We've already had our economy transformed. And
this is why it's important to get like minded people
elected in twenty twenty six. We cannot lose ground. We

(44:16):
need to give Trump two more strong years and then
we need to do it all over again with somebody
that can serve for eight years and think about twelve
years of rolling back all of this crap. And again,
let me remind you there's an apb out for al Gore.
Al Gore's disappeared. The storm season isn't what he predicted.
It never has been. The weather is never he never

(44:38):
talks in the winter. You got nothing to say in
the winter. Oh that hasn't been this gold really huh?
Thought it was global warming, settled science. Remember warming. Everything's
get warmer now, it's the Earth being the Earth, and
weather patterns are unpredictable and things just happen. Twenty seven

(44:59):
minutes past the ethere. Yeah, it's Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Scott differently doing it his way called blue Eyes. Except
he's not one of the great decomposers. You know, it's
not six feet under.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott packed show today, Doctor Joe.
In just a few minutes. We'll talk with Irish Chaffell
at the top of the hour. Erica Donald's coming to

(45:39):
town this week giving a talk, and we'll tell you
about that and talk to her at the bottom of
the next hour.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
An hour from now. So busy day Monday here in
the Morning Show, Big stories in the press box, the
President trying to find a solution to the food stamp issue.
It is an issue, there's you know, I look at
this as just an uncomfortable reality that we have created

(46:11):
a welfare system that addicts people to it but does
not really help people trying to get off of it.
Does that make sense. I started learning a lot about
this years ago when I had a young lady call
into the program, and I remember getting her in touch

(46:32):
with then US Congressman Steve Sutherland from Florida Second District,
and Steve learned a lot. He would tell you that
he learned an awful lot listening to this young lady,
and every now and then she still calls into the program.
But the bottom line is this, for all of its

(46:56):
weaknesses and flaws. You can't rip the rugout from under people.
And this is all one hundred percent on Democrats one percent.
There have been votes to get this bill done multiple times,
and thirteen times Democrats have said no in the Senate.

(47:17):
I don't know what point they're trying to prove the
numbers from the mainstream media to the unions that are
saying pass a clean resolution. A clean resolution means exactly
what Republicans have been proposing this entire time. Now. I

(47:37):
think pride is in the way. I don't know what
they think they're going to gain by this, but they're not.
They're not going to win this. UK police looking at
counter terrorism they say no, but they're warning people don't
comment on the stabbings on a train in the UK. Really, Yeah,

(47:58):
that's right. They can arrest you for things you post
online comments. I'm not talking about threats of I'm saying
comments against LGBTQ or against Islam. Now, I don't have
any proof that this is Islamic, no idea. It just
happens to fit the MO. But that said, in the UK,

(48:23):
this is what they resort to, stabbing people. You don't
want to be in a knife fight with somebody. I'll
tell you that. You talk to Charlie and JD about that.
We'll talk to Charlie about it this week. You do
not want to be in a knife fight with somebody.
Distance is your friend, and day life savings time has ended.

(48:47):
So are you in favor of locking it down? Because
this is another area, This, to me is the lowest
of hanging fruit Congress. The overwhelming majority of this country
wants to just be done with it, stop changing it,
and say when we go back to daylight savings time

(49:08):
in March, that's it. We're not changing our clocks again.
We're staying there period end. What's hard about this, It's
almost as if this is the perfect issue to display
the dysfunction of Congress, the inability to just pass what

(49:29):
makes sense. All right, we got doctor Joe standing by
forty minutes past the hour. It is Monday Show fifty
four eighty six of The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
You're listening on an old radio in your car, truck,
or streaming on one of those other things, yes, even
that John Deere tractor.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven double UFLA or on news radio
double UFLA panamacity dot com.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Forty minutes past. Some healthy expectations, we should have them,
especially as we get into the season when people are
eating more food. You gotta be smart. Joining us, doctor
Joe Cams, good morning.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
I'm never never ceased to amaze me how much you
sort of tie me in to the radio show. And
we don't even talk about it, but I was going
to talk about some of the common drug addictions. And
the number one is alcohol used order And this is
the time that sometimes people tend to over indulge. But

(50:39):
it's on the it's on the top of the scale
when you look at these things. And certainly I'm just
warning us to uh, to just be cognizant of it,
because I mean, there's so much activity going on this time,
and then there's marijuana use and then and you notice
what I haven't mentioned, things like the opioi in cocaine

(51:01):
and methamphenamine and those kinds of things. You know, you
always it comes to the top of the list, But
guess what, when you look overall, you've got things that
are pretty well accepted and tolerated in society. But they're
some of the most common drug addictions and we need
to recognize that and not become totally consumed with that.

(51:24):
So I wanted to just bring that up because we
think of what's called the hard drugs, but common things
that we sometimes do and participate in are addictions that
we need to deal with because over time they can
have some overwhelming consequences. So, as you say, as we

(51:45):
move into this time of year, this is when people
tend to participate more in social settings, more parties, more gatherings,
more celebrations, and guess what, alcohol is usually a big
part of that. But certainly want to warn us to
take care of ourselves and as always, press and do

(52:08):
everything you do in moderation and hopefully that will get
you through. So that's that's my message this morning.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
And Joe, a lot of people still don't understand how
much alcohol leads to obesity. It makes you fat.

Speaker 6 (52:25):
It makes you real fat, and and the problem is
is that you consume more and more and more, and
then you tend to eat the junk food right behind it.
You know, you don't usually you know you're not gonna
drink a lot and then have some strawberries and carras
or something. You know, it's gonna be a big high
fat hot fat meal, you know, or steak or you know.

(52:46):
So you know, it all fits, pressing, and it's amazing
how how much it all seems to fit. But certainly
want to want to warn us as we get ready
to celebrate over the holidays, that this is the time
where we need exercise, very very much disciplined. So that's
my message this morning.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Thank you, doctor Camps. I appreciate the time this morning.

Speaker 7 (53:08):
All right, press you take care of it.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Thank you, sir. Doctor Joe Camps with us, and he
joins us most Mondays and has for well almost all
of the twenty three plus years of this show. I
think we rolled out our Healthy Expectations segment maybe just
about the one year mark, maybe just a little less,

(53:30):
and it's been Joe with us, with a couple of
exceptions where he's had a special guest join us as well,
but maybe the longest running segment on this program, along
with money Talk. So that's how we roll. All right,
We've got we got plenty to talk about here this morning.
Big stories in the press box are in the rearview mirror.

(53:52):
Now you'll have to catch those on the podcast because
next hour we got Iris Chaffel FSU want a football game, okay,
and then Erica Donalds will join us next hour. She
is coming to Florida State University and in fact, she's

(54:12):
gonna be talking about the Department of Education. She is
America First Policy Institute Chair of Education Opportunities. She'll be
at FSU this week speaking at the university part of
the Free to Speak Campus Tour. And so yeah, that's
coming up next hour as well. Forty six past the

(54:32):
hours the Morning Show just texted Irish chefelle a win.

(54:54):
We get to talk about a win. First time in
a month and a half we've gotten to talk about
a win. That's crazy. Hey, look they doubled their win
output from a year ago. Huh. Well, I'll tell you
and we'll talk about it. Clemson lost at home, Duke

(55:15):
went for two instead of the tie and got it.
And then yeah, Dabo, Dabo might not make it through this.
You know, he's just a little excitable for me. I
like him. I think he loves Jesus. I think he
struggles like a lot of us do, necessarily showing it

(55:38):
all the time. But yeah, well we'll I'm sure, settle
on that a little bit, because it seems to be
very different the attitude Mike Norvel has towards his players
and Debo Swinney. But anyway, Jay Jones claimed five hundred thousand.
Now Jay Jones is running for attorney general. He's the

(55:58):
guy that sort of fantasized about killing his opponent and
his children, his opponent's children. I mean, it's sick, twisted stuff.
This guy and so Democrats are lining up behind him,
wants to be the attorney general for the state of Virginia.
If Virginia goes this way with a Democrat governor and

(56:18):
this guy, see you, Virginia's lost. But he claimed five
hundred thousand dollars of fundraising showed grassroots momentum and enthusiasm,
when in fact it came from a single pack, a
single Democrat pack dumped the five hundred grand into his coffers.

(56:42):
See this is the thing. They don't know how to
just be honest. There would be nothing wrong with saying, hey,
one pack gave me five hundred grand. That's fine. But
it's like, and you hear this locally, you hear commissioner.
Now mayoral candidatery Mattlowe talk about how his is a

(57:03):
grassroots campaign, and it's not. It's out of towners. It's
out of staters that are dumping money into his campaign.
It's way it always is. He doesn't have local support.
Ah Anyway, being honest is not a gift on the left.

(57:24):
I think all of us respect people that are honest,
whether we disagree or agree with him, because they're honest.
They own it, whatever it is, they own it. Okay,
I can I can talk with people like that. The
people that I can't talk to are the liars. Why
would I waste my time. I don't want to go
through the mental gymnastics of trying to figure out are

(57:45):
they telling me that you're no? Forget it, No, I'm
not even wasting my time. Five states handed out one
point five billion in federal Medicaid funding to illegals. One
point five billion. I think that money might come in handy.
You start adding up all these little areas where the
left waist federal money, where scams are wasting our money,

(58:08):
where we're spending money that Usaid money. You're dealing with
so much money that belongs in your wallet. That should
bring the marginal tax rates crashing, thundering down. I remember
Eric Egger's saying to me years and years and years
and years and years ago, first one of the first

(58:30):
times while we were working together, that we had endured
a really big bump in the price of fuel. And
he said, you know, before you know it, two dollars
and maybe it was seventy five cents or whatever, it's
going to seem like cheap gas. What would two dollars
and seventy five cent gas look like right now? Cheap gas?
Because we've gotten acclimated to paying three dollars or more

(58:52):
for gas. So when it's down below who whoa forgetting
it used to be thirty five of sense nineteen used
to be I mean a buck. Could you imagine dollar
a gallon gas? And that's where all of these little

(59:14):
things just add up incrementally to this massive tax burden
that we're carrying. You got to look at how much
taxes in that gasoline we're buying. And the View has
tried to figure out why more conservatives and Republicans don't
come on their show, so they're going to try and

(59:36):
do better. They've got Marjorie Taylor Green coming on the show.
They they're apparently offended that people think they're a partisan
echo chamber. Friends, let me use this as an example.
I'm about to talk to Irischeffel FSU football. I know,
I'm an FSU homer, I know it, I know. How

(01:00:01):
is it that people that are hosting a show like
The View and the people that produce that cannot realize
they're in the tank for the left. They're all lefties.
How can they not just say, yeah, bully, you know what,
you're right, we are. It's okay, admit it. You'll feel better.

(01:00:21):
But when we come back, Irishchaffelle will join us from
war chant dot com. All right, five past the hour,

(01:00:42):
third hour of the Morning Show with Crestin Scott Busy,
Monday morning here on the radio program. As we are
now into the month of November, and thank goodness we
are here and we are joined by the managing editor
at war chant dot com. He is Irascheffell. Ira Boy, October,
what a what a horrible month of football it was,

(01:01:04):
but we have something to celebrate.

Speaker 8 (01:01:08):
Yeah, they're calling it a new November, and uh probably
probably smart to a latch onto the month of November,
because yeah, as you said, the month of October, something
the Foriden State football team probably wants to forget about.
We'll see if it's totally in our rearview mirror, probably
in these next couple of weeks, but for at least
one Saturday, we can block that out of our minds.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Let's before we get into maybe a little bit more
of the microview macro view. What did you see Saturday night?

Speaker 8 (01:01:38):
You know, I think the you know, the the big
question last week since the Stanford game, because there were
some reports that the players had checked out on Mike Norvel,
that they were tuning him out. You know that that
became the big focus I think for a lot of
people is okay, we'll see that you're home against wake Forest,
and you know, one of the things I told some
people during the week was, you know, it's one thing
to look bad in the middle of the night across country,

(01:02:00):
but if you come back to your home stadium on
homecoming and look like you don't want to be there,
that's going to answer all the questions we have about
Mike Norvel. Well, the team answered them in the affirmative
that they still are together. For at least a day,
they still played hard. Mike Norvell and the coaches say
they had two great weeks of practice, so again that
all flies in the face of the idea that the

(01:02:21):
team had checked out on him. That doesn't change the
fact that they did lose four games. It doesn't change
the fact that they may not be good enough to
beat an average Clemson team on the road this Saturday,
or beat a Florida team without it said coach, or
a Virginia Tech with team without a coach. So to me,
it just kind of put a pause on everything. The
big concern everybody had apparently is not true. The players

(01:02:43):
came out and spoke highly of Mike Norvel after the game.
They kind of rallied around him, and well, now we'll
see if that lasts. But you know, I don't think
it changed anything in terms of what the season has been.
Other than that concern, I think it has been a
laid Is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
There anything that any of the individual players said that
you quoted in in some of your articles, Ira in
the wake of the game against Wake, Sorry, is there
anything that stands out, anything that surprised you?

Speaker 8 (01:03:13):
The biggest one to me and I you know, and
a lot of it. You know, he loves us, we
love him. That kind of stuff. It's you know, it's
what every coach. Every player should think about their coach
if they like them and respect them, and a lot
of times they do. Even when coaches get fired, Even
when coaches should get fired, the players don't usually get
to vote. I thought one that kind of stuck out
to me was, you know, Tommy Caslano's talking about how

(01:03:35):
consistent Mike norvell has been. And then I think are
a Little said the same thing as either are a Little
or Jabrill Brawls. One of them said, listen, when we
were down, he was the guy that was kind of
trying to lift us up. He never gave up on us.
And that is one thing to think about because what
happens in these relationships with coaches and players. And I
think you saw it on the sideline Saturday at Clemson

(01:03:56):
where Dabo is screaming at his sideline, screaming at his players,
kind of embarrassing them. You know, listen. Well, it'll be
interesting to see how those players respond to that, because
what happened. Sometimes these coaches are making all this money,
sometimes they can turn it on the players and they
can roll the players, and the players see that, and
that's how you lose a team. The fact that they're
saying that even when they were down, Mike grbel was

(01:04:18):
lifting them up, he believed in them. That could be
a powerful thing. Now we'll see the results are you know,
are to be determined. And I think that's where, you know,
for the people that felt like Florida State should have
fired Mike after Stanford, and I think there's some people
in the administration and some people some other people who
felt like, let's let's see how this plays out. You know,
we're still going to see how it plays out. That

(01:04:39):
game didn't change anything long term, but I do think
those comments and that approach might be worth watching.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Irish Chafell with us. He's the managing editor at the
place to Go for all things Florida State Athletics, especially
the major sports of football, basketball, and baseball. He is
Irishchafelle More to come on The Morning Show with Preston
Scott joining me. Irischaffel from warchan dot Com. He's the

(01:05:18):
managing editor talking f SU football finally winning again after
a very bad streak of four straight losses. You talked
about the Dabo Sweeney thing and that you beat me
to the punch. Ira because man, you know, things have changed.
Back when you and I were younger and maybe playing sports,

(01:05:40):
coaches could get on players rather routinely and that was
part of being coached. Then it just gradually changed where
you don't embarrass them on the sidelines if you want
to keep them around, especially now in the portal. What
is your hunch about I mean, we're talking about two
very different approaches that Dabo Sweeney and Mike Norvell have

(01:06:03):
taken with their teams. What what do you think we're
going to see on Saturday.

Speaker 8 (01:06:09):
Yeah, it's a great question, and I think we you know,
the answer is not to be determined. This is such
a whole new world, you know. And I had some
conversations with some people last week because you talked about
other coaching candidates that are out there and in different
styles and and and so you ask yourself, Okay, could
that guy work in this environment? Could that you know
could could the way you coached. You know, Brian Kelly
just flames out at LSU. And he's a guy that

(01:06:32):
had unbelievable success in Notre Dame, and we thought, if
you give him LSU's talent, I mean, they're going to
be unbelievable and then instead it goes very average and
he ends up getting fired in the year four. So
I just think there are no sure things, and so
when you look at you know how how to predict
what Florida Saint and Clemson looked this week. I think
if Florida State gets off to a decent start, I

(01:06:54):
feel confident they'll play well. I feel confident they'll play hard.
And I think Clemson's defense, for what what ever is
wrong with them, and it's apparently a lot wrong with them.
I think Florida State will score some points. What I
don't know about Florida State and we have to see
is when things start going, if things go poorly on
the road, how are they going to play and how
do they respond? And that's the thing. You know. You
go back to the Alabama game, and my only concern

(01:07:16):
about that game was everything they needed to go well
went well. And so it's easy to play well when
you're ahead and you're controlling the game. That Wake Forest
game was very much the same. When wake Forest had
a couple of chances to put FSU under pressure, they
get a holding call, they drop a pass, they missed
an open receiver, so nothing really went wrong in that game,
and we see that this is how this team can

(01:07:36):
play if things don't go wrong. What I don't know
is if you go to Clemson and things go poorly,
you fumble early like you did in some of those losses,
or you just have a costly mistake, how do you
respond to that. That's to me going to be telling,
because that's where this team has really struggled so far.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
When I watched the game on Saturday night, IRA, what
occurred to me was early on, I had to remember
this team had a scene to have a little bit
of rust from not having played, But as the game
went on, they just played a little better and a
little better and a little better. Now, granted, Wake Force,
with the exception of their running backs, they're pretty bad offensively,

(01:08:15):
their quarterbacks not very good. But that said, this was
a fairly disciplined, you know game for Florida State on
both sides of the ball.

Speaker 8 (01:08:26):
Yeah, you know, And again it would would it would
have been interesting to see how they handled it if
Wake did make some of the plays that were there,
especially early in the game. Yeah, because you know, it's
it's seven to nothing late in the second quarter, midway
to the second quarter, late in the second quarter. But yeah,
to your point, when FSU did get stopped on fourth down,
the defense came out and played well. Win FSU did,

(01:08:46):
you know, make mistakes, they didn't compound and so those
are all positive things. And as you said, they were
more disciplined. You didn't see guys running wide open. Even
when wake Forest quarterback got out and he's athletic, the
one thing he can really do is run. Yep, when
he got out on the perimeter, flour State closed it
pretty quickly and kept them to maybe a twelve yard
game as opposed to a thirty yard game. You think

(01:09:06):
back to the pit game or you know, I'd rather
not we're well in those games when the quarterback would
get loose, maybe you'd run for thirty yards. You you
didn't see that, like they rallied to the ball they hit.
So those are all big, you know, definitely positive things.
You know, I don't like to leave a game where
you played well and point out that what you did

(01:09:27):
wrong in previous games. But but you know, that's the reality.
We're looking at a small window right now where they
played the way they were supposed to play.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
One more segment level with Ira Chaffelle. We're gonna go big,
big picture next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott
with the Marching Chiefs in the background. We are back

(01:09:56):
with Iraschaffellewarchant dot Com taking some time on Mondays to
talk a little Florida State football. Iras, I'm looking at
the schedule that October, well, I mean late September, you
got Virginia Miami, Pitt Stanford Miami. Yeah, we kind of
got boat raced there, but Virginia and Pitt. Is it
hard looking back and say at this point those were

(01:10:18):
bad losses. Florida State shouldn't have lost those games because
it looks to me like we were in those games.

Speaker 8 (01:10:24):
Yeah, Virginia is definitely not a bad loss. You know,
you're on the road on a Friday night, on a
short week, playing a team that now is number twelve
in the country, had a six year starting quarterback. You
were playing your first road game. I mean, I think
you're going to double overtime, and it's a game where
even in double overtime, you know or during that game
you have a chance to win the game where you know,

(01:10:45):
a touchdowns overturned. And so to me, that game is
not a game you look back and it's a missed opportunity.
But to me, it's not a bad loss. Losing a
Pit Losing to Pitt at home is never good. And
you know, even though they're seven and two right now,
it's a game that you know you're gonna it's you know,
is a Florida State fan and what you believe the
sport is and where Florida State should be, you don't

(01:11:07):
feel like you should ever lose at home to Pit.
So that's the tough one to swallow. Even though they're
seven and two. They've got a really good quarterback, they're
a good football team. But you know, so those twos aren't.
But yeah, I think to the point you're probably going
to try to make is the Stanford game is completely different, right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yeah, Yeah, Stanford is the one that you have to
just scratch your head at. And that's really the one
that's the that is is the one that might nag
the decision makers out there or even those that want
to just evaluate Mike Norvel because that's the one game that,
under no circumstances should this Florida State team lose to.

Speaker 8 (01:11:43):
Yeah, and especially when it happened, you know, and again,
it would be one thing if you were seven and
to zero and went out to Stanford, who is bad
and they are they're not a good football team. The
week before you played them, they give up thirty four points,
the week after that they give up forty two points.
Then this past week they give up another ton of points.
So they're they're they're a bad defense, and they were
there to get beaten, and Florida States offense just picked

(01:12:06):
that day to play. It's probably the worst game of
the season. They scored thirteen points, a ton of penalties,
ton of just mistakes and turnovers, just played terribly. And
so that's a game that you know, if you're if
you're having a good season and you and you sleep
walk through that game but then pull it out at
the end, nobody remembers it. A lot of teams have
those kinds of games. But when you've already lost two

(01:12:27):
games or three games in a row and you know
that you've got to rally around this coach and this team,
and then you go out there and play like that,
it was just really just just not just disappointing, but
kind of an indictment on this team. Now you did
come back, you know, after the bye week and you
look good again. And if you turn it around these
next few weeks, maybe you can look at that whole

(01:12:49):
month in a different lens. But but as of right now, yeah,
the Stanford game, to me is the game that's the
most inexcusable.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
Regardless of who the head coach will be next season,
whether it's coach Norvell coming back or whether they go
in another direction, what is needed for Florida State to
be in the world of the Ohio states of the world.
And I use Ohio State because they do not have
the biggest nil budget. It's a good one. It's healthy.
They're part of the Big Ten. They get a lot

(01:13:16):
of money. But they pick and choose their their portal
recruits very very specifically and carefully. But what they seem
to do better than maybe anybody else is they get
them out of high school and they develop them. Is
that the secret sauce? And what has to happen for
Florida State to get to that territory.

Speaker 8 (01:13:36):
Well, I think that's where everybody wants to be. The
challenge is if you weren't already there when the portal happened,
it's hard to navigate this and this is the you
know where Florida State though the land mines they've been
walking through over the last four or five years is
you know, Florida State wasn't in the position when Mike
Norvel got hired to just say, you know what, we're
going to take some time and recruit through high schools,

(01:13:57):
like he inherited a bad program, say what have you
in the poor and was rewarded for that. You want
thirteen to know you won nineteen straight games, and so
from that standpoint, that felt like the right way to go.
But then you get married to it and then you
can't get out of it. It's just hard to make
that transition now. I think whatever, whoever you know and listen,

(01:14:18):
it's even tard for Georgia and some of these other teams.
They've had a hard time holding onto the high school recruits.
Mario christ de Balt Miami has gotten a ton of
credit for how he's recruited high schools. They've lost a
lot of these guys because what happens is you sign them,
but then if they're not playing early, or if you
bring in portal guys to play, they're going to leave
and go to other schools. So it's a really tricky thing.
I do think from a big picture standpoint, Florida State

(01:14:39):
really needs to look at what they need to do
to get back to being great, and I don't know
if the portal's the answer to that. Maybe there is
a way to step back and say, you know what,
these next two years are not going to be what
we want to do. We're going to play these young guys.
We're not going to sign them and let them transfer out.
We're going to give it some time and try to
build for a run in a couple of years. Otherwise

(01:14:59):
you may just become stuck in this limbo. But it's
easier to say that than it is to do it,
because then you have to actually take the losses to
come with playing those young guys.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
I was just going to ask you, do fans have
the patients for that? Do administrators have the patience for that?

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
That's that's the tough part. Man. A lot of people
say they do until you get into it, and then
you don't want to actually watch the losses. So yeah,
it's it would take a commitment, it would take a
you know, a lot of forethought. But again, it's easy
to say that it's a lot harder when you go
to the city on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Yeah, and watch your.

Speaker 8 (01:15:30):
Team lose lose to a bunch of older transfers from
another team.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
Iras always appreciate the insight. Thanks very much reading what
you do at war chant dot com. Thanks as always,
Thanks pressing ticket. Iras Chaffel, Managing Editor warchant dot com.
When we come back, Ericadonald's will join us with America
First Policy Institute on the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Show The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio
one hundred point seven w FLA.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Back with you, final half hour of the radio program,
at least for today. That's hose. I'm Preston. It is Monday,
November third, and doesn't even feel wonderful the weather. It
is just beautiful, and it is great to have back
with us on the program. It's been a minute, as
the kids like to say. But Erica Donalds joins us.
She is with America First Policy Institute. She's also founder

(01:16:38):
of Optima ed. Erica, welcome back to the show. How
are you.

Speaker 9 (01:16:43):
Oh, it's so good to be with you. I'm great,
especially with this wonderful Florida weather. This is what we
live for, right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, count me as blessed being in this.
Tell me a little bit. You're coming to Florida State
University this week and giving a talk. The topic is
the the Department of Education. Tell us a little bit
about what you plan to share.

Speaker 9 (01:17:04):
Yeah, I'm excited to come to my alma mater FSU.
This is my second stop on my college tour at
Turning Point USA chapters other conservative groups on college campuses
who are interested in learning about ending the Department of Education,
how we are advancing President Trump's agenda for education at
the federal level, and what does that mean for the states,

(01:17:25):
What does that mean to them as students who are
getting ready to go out into the workforce and who
are a lot of them dealing with student debt, which
of course is within the Department of Education. So it's
been an exciting start to the tour. This is the
second stop on Thursday night, and would welcome anyone to
come and hear me out.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
It's going to be at six o'clock at Florida State Erica.
Do you go back in this? I mean I go back.
I've been around long enough to know when this all started,
and it seems to me that even those that are
going to oppose the shutdown of the Department of Education
for no other reason because they just hate Donald Trump.
They don't have much to stand on. Is there anything

(01:18:05):
that we can point to that a federal Department of
Education has made anything better?

Speaker 9 (01:18:11):
Well, absolutely not. Besides the fact that it's not a
constitutional duty of the federal government to be involved in education,
We've spent three trillion dollars of the past forty years
with no return on that investment for the American tax payers,
no increase in academic performance, no efficiencies within state governments
or local school districts. Even best practices are not being

(01:18:33):
shared from the federal level, which at the very least
could have helped the rest of the country. It's a
bureaque product mess. It adds layers of cost and inefficiencies
to our school system. We need this power to return
to the states so we can hold the states accountable
and hopefully improve academic performance once and for all.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
When you say holding the states accountable, because immediately I
think for some their mind, with the best of intentions,
goes to the states like Illinois, in California, in New York,
and I think to some they say, you know, if
you remove any federal involvement, what we're going to have
as a train wreck in those liberal states.

Speaker 9 (01:19:12):
You know, elections matter, right, and those taxpayers in Illinois,
in New York, in California have to be able to
look to their local officials and their state officials in
regards to education and say, this is your fault. If
their children are not performing, if their schools are unsafe,
if the curriculum is bad. Who are they blaming today?

(01:19:33):
Their state officials are blaming the federal government in the
federal Department of Education, which the voters have no influence on.
At least when it's returned to the states, the parents
and the voters in those states can hold those officials accountable.
Right now, there is no accountability for the bureaucrats in
Washington that are involved in our education system.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
You mentioned being an LM of Florida State University. You
and your husband, Congressman Byron Donald's are residents of Florida.
Is it's tough for people outside that are inside Florida
to understand how fortunate we are to be in this
state and how education is is looked at, at least
from a state wide level.

Speaker 9 (01:20:14):
We are the envy of the country. I have been
very fortunate in working with America First Policy Institute to
travel the nation, speaking in front of the Mississippi Legislature,
going to Texas as they're passing their school choice law, Tennessee,
you name it. They're always looking at what are you
doing in Florida because we have led on school choice,
we have led on accountability measures. We were one of

(01:20:35):
the first to do a through f grades. Got some
improvement to do there, but nevertheless, the rest of the
country is looking to keep up with Florida. That's why
it's so important that as we move forward, we are
the visionaries when it comes to a free market in education,
giving more power to the parents, ensuring accountability through radical
transparency in performance, in safety, in curriculum. That's what Florida

(01:20:57):
needs to be so that the rest of the country
has a model full look too.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Erica Donald's with us this morning, America First Policy Institute
and founder of Optima ED. We got more to come.
Stay with us here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(01:21:20):
She'll be at Florida State University this week on Thursday night.
It'll be at the Center Room one oh three at
Florida State University at six o'clock. Erica Donald's with us,
and she's the founder of optimier ED. You're arguing, and
I think you'd find a lot of agreement in this audience, Erica,
that we don't need a federal Department of Education. We

(01:21:41):
know Linda McMahon, the secretary, has been working in that
realm for a little while now, but we're still in
the infancy of the Trump administration. Broadly speaking. What is
holding things up? Is it court cases, challenges? Is it Congress?
Why is it taking longer than then you think it should?

Speaker 9 (01:22:03):
Well, I wouldn't say she's actually being held up much
because her first week in the department, she rift did
a reduction force of half of the department staff. So
that was week one, got rid of half of the
department staff. Since then, and during the shutdown, they took
advantage of the opportunity to take off another five hundred.

(01:22:24):
Now you're talking about the smallest department in the federal government.
It only started with about forty three hundred people. So
we're all the way down now into the fifteen hundred
range in terms of number of employees. And they've executed
an agreement with Department of Labor to move all of
the workforce functions of the federal Department of Education into
Labor where they belong. Obviously, there's a continuation of education

(01:22:46):
into the workforce, and so that's going to be under
the Department of Labor starting when we return from this shutdown.
So they've already been feverishly at work, especially if not
at the pace of government, but working really hard. The
next thing, though, is we need Congress to cooperate with
dismantling of the department and returning education to the States.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
What role does Congress play, Well.

Speaker 9 (01:23:07):
The Department, of course, is in legislation, and a lot
of its functions are in legislation. And so while they
can push some of those functions off by agreement with
other departments, you're talking about what I said in regard
to workforce, the Office of Civil Rights going to Justice,
the student loan portfolio going to Treasury. But the department

(01:23:27):
will still exist, and those things will be moved off
those functions by contracts between departments. That's not what we want.
We want a final closing of the department that is
going to require Congressional approval.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
If that happens. I mean, look, We've watched the left
used law fare for decades. That's what they do. They
throw things in the court system, muddle it up there,
hope that it gets in front of enough rogue district
judges that ignore what the Supreme Court says about district
judge rulings, and they try to do these blanket nationwide
injunctions and and whatever the case might be. What are

(01:24:03):
the prospects of just shuttering the department without the lawfare?

Speaker 9 (01:24:09):
Well, if Congress approves it, we have a much better chance,
of course, in the courts. Then we know they're going
to continue to challenge all of these moves. They challenge
the initial reduction of force. Thankfully Lenna McMahon prevailed in
that challenge and those were able to go through. But yes,
the left does what they do with their leftist judges
and trying to attack what the voters voted for. I mean,

(01:24:31):
how many times did President Trump on the campaign trail
stay he was going to get rid of the Department
of Education. He won, he's doing exactly what he told
the voters he would do. So, yeah, we're going to
have to fight them in the courts. So far, we've
been successful at that, and especially if we get the
legislation that we need to dismantle the department, I think
we will ultimately prevail.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
Florida you mentioned is a bit of an outlier in
the sense that Florida has been leading on school choice
and a few other initiatives. Well, we all agree there's
a lot of room for improvement. Still, how much do
the parents play a role in this? Because I get
the feeling that over the decades parents have become a
little apathetic about their kids' education and have allowed the

(01:25:11):
government to kind of just step in. How big of
a shock are we going to be to the system?

Speaker 9 (01:25:17):
Well, that is why my ultimate goal that I've been
working for over ten years towards is that every education
dollar be parent directed, and that puts the ownership in
the hands of parents.

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
As parents.

Speaker 9 (01:25:30):
Even if you use those dollars at your local neighborhood
public school, you should see how much is being spent
on your child, and you should take that active choice
to say I want these funds to go to this school.
Turns parents into consumers and changes the culture where they
know they're the decision makers for their children and their education.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Erica, thanks for making time for us this morning. Welcome
back to town, and I'm sure we'll talk again sometime soon.

Speaker 9 (01:25:57):
Thanks so much for having me. Hope to see on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Thank you very much. Erica Donald's with us and again
America First Policy Institute. She's the founder of Optima ED
and she will be at Florida State University at the Center,
Room one toh three on campus this Thursday at six o'clock.

(01:26:20):
So we invite you to go on out there. You
heard that she invited you. Don't take my word she
invited you forty six minutes past. Well, I would be

(01:26:42):
remiss if I didn't take at least a moment to
say congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers. When I got
down to thinking about it, Yeah, I don't want the
Canadians to win a thing. I went Toronto Blue Jays
to win. I don't want them to win the World Series.

(01:27:06):
Why would I want the Canadians to win? It would
be like them winning the World Series would be like
us winning the Stanley Cup, which, boy, that's kind of
what we've done for the last few decades. Anyway, it's
got to hurt for Canada to be surrendering the Stanley
Cup all the time to teams in the US, just

(01:27:27):
like it would hurt surrendering the World Series to a
team in Canada. No, no, so I am great with it.
Not seriously, I really didn't have a rooting interest. It
was just an incredible World Series. It might be one
of the top two or three series in history. The

(01:27:53):
games were exciting for the most part. The crowds were great.
It's why playoff baseball and Stanley Cup hockey, they're just
they that's when those sports shine. Baseball is one hundred
and sixty two games of yawn to get to the playoffs,

(01:28:17):
and then it's it's good. You've got to have the
regular season. I think you could argue for one hundred
and twenty six games. One hundred and twenty games. Myself,
I think baseball would be very well served shortening its
season and pushing back the Fall Classic to a little
bit warmer weather versus the chance of it being a

(01:28:39):
dog on cold and having games late in October in
parts of the country that you don't want to be
playing baseball and hitting with a wooden bat. You know
what I'm saying. Anyone that's ever hit a ball near
the fists with a wooden bat or at the end
of the bat and you feel that go through your hands.
Oh no, no, no, no, no no, don't need to

(01:28:59):
be doing that with wooden bats in the in the fall.
But anyway, set that aside. Great World Series. You're Dodgers fan.
Way to go. You get a second World Championship in
a row. So congratulations. Brought to you by Barono Heating
and Air.

Speaker 4 (01:29:14):
It's the Morning Show one E on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
Romans twelve two is where we started the radio program.
We challenge you get off your phones. Now. Look, use
your phones for your business, but put them down, leave
them at have some time. And for Pete's sake, if
you are out to dinner, how about talking with your family. No,

(01:29:44):
don't let your little ones bring their pads and their
games and their phones. No, put your phone away. Talk
to each other. That's being conformed to this world. Bible says,
don't be conformed to this world. Right. There had conversations

(01:30:07):
today with Greg Wrightstone of the CO two Coalition, doctor
Joe Camps, Irisha fell Erica Donald's and no no one
else does this. No one else brings the type of guests,
the variety that we can bring you every day of
this show the variety of stories. I'm not going to
reset the show. That's why we have a podcast. If

(01:30:31):
you missed any of the program, go back to the podcast.
Today's show's not as great as last Thursday show was
because last Thursday was just next level. But today was
a good, solid show. It's a good program. On a
scale of one to ten, this was a seven point
five to eight. Maybe tomorrow got a manly minute? Got

(01:30:56):
an email already about a manly minute. I'll share that
as part of the man Minute. Tomorrow. US Congresswoman kat
Camick will join us. What do you think she's gonna
have to say about the government shutdown? Wooo? I expect
some fireworks. I'm gonna talk a little bit. I'm getting
my pool deck redone by des Elite Concrete Surfaces, concrete coatings.

(01:31:21):
Cannot wait, friends, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
