Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
A voice touched by God. Yeah, I thought it was
appropriate with Veterans Day tomorrow to roll the God Bless America,
sung by US Navy Petty Officer Retired First Class Gennerald Wilson.
He's still singing a little bit out there doing some

(00:24):
doing some events. But yeah, good morning, friends, welcome. It's Monday,
November tenth, here on the Morning show show fifty four
to ninety one. I know what a lot of you
are thinking. Are you gonna be on the air tomorrow.
Of course we will, absolutely we will. But today is

(00:45):
the first day of the week, and it's November. It's
gonna be a chilly day. Snow is starting to fall
across the country, especially in the northern parts. I don't
know if they'll have snow for the game in Green
Bay tonight. I will not be able to stay up
and watch much of that. I might catch the first

(01:07):
quarter maybe, but that'll be it. I'll be in bed
and sleeping after that. But I am honoring my Green
Bay Packers and salute to service with my Green Bay
Packer Veterans Day gear. I got my hat, I got
my hoodie, and so it's all camoed out and this

(01:28):
is one of the better looks green bays rolled out
for salute to service. So that's what I'm wearing today.
But let's begin with God's word. Isaiah forty verse three
says this, A voice cries in the wilderness, prepare the
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a

(01:51):
highway for our God. Isaiah forty a few centuries before John,
Jesus's cousin is out in the wilderness saying the Lord's coming.

(02:21):
The Messiah is here. It is amazing to think about
that with all of the prophetic signs, and this one
is a prophetic sign of a sign pointing we're now

(02:44):
entering into not just Jesus, the fulfilling of prophecy by Jesus,
but the fulfilling of prophecy by John. John is is
convinced the Messiah is here. Miracles had to take place.

(03:12):
John was born to a couple old people. John's dad
was rendered mute because he didn't believe the Angel was
You're gonna have a son. I don't believe. Okay, fine,
we'll just shut you up for a while. It's amazing

(03:37):
that John is prophesying Jesus. It's all there in the
Old Testament and yet they missed it. They missed it
because they didn't consider a redeemer of their soul. They
thought they were getting another King. David. God's like, We've

(03:59):
been there, done that. We're not doing that anymore. I'm
sending you my son, your savior. Spend a little time
in Romans eleven if you want to untangle that yarn
a little bit further. Ten past the hour as we
begin Monday here on the Morning Show with Moa, Preston Scott,

(04:20):
and jose Can you see and you so stay with us.
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Just take a peek.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Inside the American Patriots Almanac, November the tenth, seventeen seventy five.
The Continental Congress founds the United States Marine Corps. Come
on and get some of that that tip of the cap.

(05:05):
My brother was a marine. For those of you, those
who he's still in, My brother passed away in nineteen
ninety eight. Because of his service to this country.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
He was.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
He fought in Vietnam like many of you, and Bill
was a hero like many of you, well, all of
you who served were heroes. He earned special commendation. He
stopped a ambush of his platoon with a RPG. He

(05:40):
was able to flank the bad guys, and though he
was hit and hurt, he saved his entire platoon at
Freedom Bridge. And I remember seeing a picture of that
bridge for the first time just a few years ago.
I'd not ever seen it and realizing that that's where

(06:01):
Bill saved his mates. It was strong, but Bill was
like many exposed to agent orange. Agent orange a defoliant.
We would drop agent orange in order to kill the jungle.

(06:24):
It was a cancerous time bomb, and so many of
the men who served in the jungles of Vietnam died
of cancer induced by agent orange. It's demonstrable what happened
to my brother. He died at the age of forty

(06:46):
nine and had cancer in every organ of his body.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
It was.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Just a stunning attack by the cancer of him. And
so my brother is buried at Fort Snelling Federal Cemetery
in military Cemetery in Minneapolis. And yeah, so happy Birthday.

(07:21):
Marines eighteen seventy one. New York Herald journalist Henry Stanley
find Scottish missionary David Livingstone in Africa and greets him
with the famous words doctor Livingstone. I presume in nineteen
twenty eight, Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockney tells his

(07:42):
team win one for the Gipper, and they do. They
beat Army twelve to six. Nineteen thirty eight, Kate Smith
introduces Americans to Irving Berlin's God Bless America, singing it
for the first time on our network radio show. She
became a thing singing it at Philadelphia Flyer hockey games
years Dowight D. Eisenauer nineteen forty sorry nineteen fifty four

(08:07):
dedicates the Marine Corps War Memorial Ewojima Memorial in Arlington.
It's another classic. If you've never seen the movie Flags
of Our Fathers, it tells the story of that flag
raising at Ewojima. It's not what you think it is.
It's a fascinating story. Clint Eastwood movie, It's Flags of

(08:31):
Our Fathers. And then they did a companion in Japanese
with English subtitles that is brilliant called Letters from Ewojima.
And there were two movies about the battle Mount Serabaci
on Ewojima, told from two different perspectives, the American and

(08:51):
the Japanese perspective. Both movies done by Clint Eastwood. Brilliant movies.
I highly recommend. Let's see what else we got. It
is National Civic Pride Day, Okay, National Vanilla Cupcake Day,
National Forget Me Not Day. So there you have it,

(09:12):
sixteen past the hour, Come back and did you Know?
And more on the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Today.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
In the program, we will begin the giving season. Operation
Thanksgiving will give way to Operation Spirit a Christmas. But
we begin with Operation Thanksgiving today and we'll tell you
all about it in about a half hour, and then
throughout the day and throughout the coming days and weeks

(09:51):
as we take on another project, and very excited to
share that with you in a little bit. But today
we will have Priscilla Way with us. She works with
Peter Schweitzer and the Government Accountability Institute. She is a researcher.
She's also a chair for a chapter of Moms for

(10:13):
Liberty and she is an author and the book is
the new face of woke education. She's done a little
investigative journalism herself and we'll share what she's learned. We
got doctor Joe Camps with us this morning. Healthy Expectations
talk a little bit with Irischaffel. It's Mike Norvel coaching
his final weeks at Florida State University. The thought is

(10:37):
that it's probably the case that he kind of really
needed to beat the worst Clemson team that has been
out there in two decades and didn't get it done.
And so there's a strong push and you know, here's
there's a reality here, and the reality is that in
order to field a Division one Power five conference football team,

(11:01):
you need money. You have to pay anil to get athletes.
The feeling is that the people that make that possible
are going to not give money until there's a change
to field a football team that will be competitive. Now,

(11:22):
you know, I think you would have to step back
and try to figure out how is it that Kurt
Signetti did it at Indiana without a bunch of money. Now,
they might have money flowing in there now, but they
didn't have a bunch of money when he got there.
And so you know, this is going to be interesting.
So we'll talk to Irish fell a few minutes about

(11:42):
all that's not so much about the game, but about
the bigger picture today on the program. But did you know,
cat lovers, this is for you because I know you
feel a little neglected by me because I'm not a
cat lover. I'm not. I'm not a cat hater. I
just would never own a cat in a thousand years,

(12:03):
not ever, just not.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
If you want cats, awesome, good for you. But and
I will never be mean to a cat. I always
feel the need because I don't like cats. I feel
the need to make sure that you understand I will
never be mean to a cat, ever, because that's not
my nature. I'm kind to domesticated animals. Now, moles in

(12:32):
my yard it's another story. I have the chance, I'll
kill them with a screwdriver. But cats, no, no, no no.
Did you know that cats groom each other by licking
to be social, which is known as alo grooming. If
your cat happens to lick you, it means that you've

(12:55):
been accepted into the cat club. Now, that does not
change the fact that they are still plotting to end
your life, and that if a cat could, if the
scale were better, the cat would would absolutely grab you
by your jugular vein. But that's a side story. Tomorrow,

(13:24):
of course, Veterans Day, and that means the Veterans Day
Parade in the capital city. It begins at ten forty five.
And so if you are if you are interested, it'll
be cool and crisp. It's a lovely parade begins at

(13:44):
ten forty five. They will pause at eleven and play taps.
I don't know if the family un FSU marching bands
will be there. They used to occasionally both be there.
Then it would be and every other year one would do.
One would would be there and the other might not.
One would be at the front, one would be at

(14:06):
the back. Don't know about the FSU family marching bands,
but hopefully they'll be there. It's usually a very nice parade.
We used to be very much involved in it, but
our staffing is such that we just don't have the
personnel and the vehicles and all that we used to have.
Everything's changed, and so we we salute you veterans, and

(14:30):
of course, you know with the things we do throughout
the year for honor flight and so forth, we are
are very appreciative and we thank veterans, and we think
so very highly of you. But we encourage all of
you in the area to go ahead and get out there.
Twenty seven minutes past the hour. We'll remind you again tomorrow.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scotti. Past the Hour,

(15:02):
Big Stories in the press box for Monday, November tenth,
A procedural hurdle has been eliminated that will pave the
way to end the government shutdown. We think it is
the death of the filibuster.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
They are.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
They're going to move ahead today putting together a a bill.
Whether it's the one that the House sends over or not,
don't know. But the Senate has had eight Democrats join
the Republicans to end the filibuster on the on the bill.

(15:58):
What stands out to me is that the people I
have a theory. My theory is Democrats gathered together and
picked eight people that they considered safe or seven, knowing
that John Fetterman was going to vote to end it
ever as he has, and that they provide the Democrats cover.

(16:28):
Don't know that for a fact. The second highest ranking
Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, joined the group. So
we'll see. We'll see what happens here. The only reason
that's a big story in the press box is because
the government shut down may finally come to an end

(16:51):
for how long, I don't know. Democrats say they're mad
because it doesn't guarantee a continuation of Obamacare subsidies. Well,
of course it does, because the entire program is subsidized.
They want more subsidies, and that's what this has been about.
They want the additional subsidies that were put in place

(17:12):
during COVID. The big stories in the press box, Nancy
Pelosi's stepping down. That's not the story. The story will
leave you stunned, though not surprised. I know that sounds

(17:35):
a little oxymoronic. It's not. During Pelosi's time in office,
the Dow Jones had a return of twenty three hundred
percent in her decades of service. If you add it
all up, if you put a dollar in when she

(17:59):
joined off, she'd have twenty three hundred dollars at the end.
You get my point. Over the span of her time
in Congress, which is lengthy, the Dow Jones had a
return of twenty three hundred. Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul,
had a return of sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty percent.

(18:25):
To say she and her husband did not engage in
insider trading is an insult. Of course she did. She
defeated every major stockbroker and brokerage firm out there, and

(18:45):
it's not even close sixteen thousand plus per almost seventeen
thousand percent return on her investment portfolio. She and her husband,

(19:06):
she amazingly got in and out of stocks at just
the right time for her entire congressional career. The second
big story in the press box is with a ninety
four to ninety eight percent likelihood of accuracy, they have
identified the Capital six the Capitol bomber on January sixth,

(19:28):
the j six bomber. And when we come back, I
will tell you who it is likely on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
Write them at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Yes he
knows how to read. Well, actually his producer reads him.
He doesn't know how to read. It's the Morning Show
with President Scott.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
We shared with you that software used to help solve
crimes by observing the walk the gate jit of a person,
which has an accuracy that is not quite like fingerprints,

(20:22):
but it's pretty close. They're able to look at a
video recording of somebody walking flextion which is knee bend
hip extension, speed step length cadence variance and Shawnee Ray Kirkhoff,
thirty one years old of Alexandra Virginia is a ninety

(20:45):
four percent match to the bomb suspect shown on the
video of the night of January fifth, placing bombs in
front of the DNC and the RNC in Washington. An
analyst who ran the analysis for Blaze News said, based
on visual observations, the program can struggle with He personally

(21:07):
pegged the match at closer to ninety eight percent. Would
you be surprised to learn that she was a Capitol
Police officer for four and a half years and then
suddenly found herself with a security detail with the CIA,

(21:29):
she was promoted. It also explains why there's video of
the bomber having an encounter with Capitol Police that is
caught on tape at a distance, wasn't apprehended, wasn't arrested,
and the FBI has been searching for this person without

(21:51):
half a million dollar reward for years. Former FBI Special
Agent Kyle Serafin realized Friday that he was doing surveillance
next door to the woman. The FBI put us one
door away from the pipe bomber within days of January sixth,
and we were deliberately pulled away for no logical or

(22:11):
logically investigative reason. Everything about that tells me they were
involved in a cover up and have been since day one.
This changes everything from what we've all believed to now.
I think we can say what we know instead of

(22:34):
trying to solve who placed a pipe bomb out there.
They spent years imprisoning Americans for being on the grounds
of the Capitol, for having doors opened and being escorted
through the Capitol. There are people in prison who were
escorted through the Capitol by Capitol police. And oh, by

(22:55):
the way, Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed, and that
officer was promoted, and that officer violated every rule of engagement,
every rule for using deadly force. So tell me if

(23:20):
confirmed and a Capitol police officer was the perpetrator. Doesn't
this begin to unravel the carefully crafted narrative of the
Democrat Party and the entire j six saga. People must

(23:41):
be placed on trial. I'll not say they must go
to jail. If convicted, they must go to jail. But
the Adam Shifts of this world, they knew, they knew.
Jerry Nadler knew Pelosi pretty sure she knew. By the way,

(24:11):
I don't know if you heard this. I want to
get this in before we take a quick break. Here
the re elected mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. He won reelection,
he defeated the Somali. Don't clap so much. He gave
his acceptance speech in Somali one reelection, spoke almost a

(24:34):
minute in Somalia and said Minneapolis belongs to the Somalia.
He thanked the crowd in Somali to the great people

(24:55):
in Minneapolis. I say very intentionally because no matter where
you are from, Minneapolis should be a place where you
were proud to call home. Here's what this election means.
The election means that there is in this moment, a
moment for unity where the entire Somali community can come
together and say, this is our people, this is our city.
We are united behind each other. Could be the most

(25:19):
humiliating speech ever given. Forty seven minutes past. Let's change
things up a little bit. Let's talk about something a
little happier for a moment. That's next.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
On news Radio one hundred point seven Dousla.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Fifty two past the hour, Monday in the morning show.
We started this program back in two thousand and two,
and I remember ending the show with the words make
a difference, and I did that for a number of years,

(26:22):
and we had to accumulate an audience. It took about
five years because they don't you know, it was then
Clear Channel Now iHeart. They don't really put billboards up
for shows like this. You just that's not what they do.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
They just.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
If they work a deal out to do some advertising
on TV and exchange for advertising on radio, they'll promote
the music stations. They won't take the time. They won't
promote talk stations. And so we just did it the
old fashioned way, one person at a time, you telling
somebody else and them telling somebody else. And you know,
we acquire listeners by people just stumbling upon us and saying, huh,

(27:07):
this is interesting, this is different, and it is it
is different. We try our best to be interesting. But
it took a while. And then once we jumped over
to the FM because we were very successful on the AM,
it was like, you know, this probably would work. They
jumped us over to the FM, and it's you know,

(27:29):
we've humbly, I say, we've done very well. And that's
God's blessing. It is God's favor. It is nothing more
than that. It's just God. It has nothing to do
with me. Or the men I've been fortunate to share
time with who have been on the other side of
the glass. Now it's Jose with me. We've had you know,

(27:52):
it's a job that isn't work. I love what I do.
And so once we kind of jumped over to the FM,
then we started to look at different ways that we
could do things to really help. And back in twenty
twenty two, we worked with an organization called Orphan Shade

(28:16):
and we built a home for orphans. You generously donated
over forty thousand dollars in building a home, and then
you stepped up and you all supported it, and you

(28:38):
now support that home every month, and so the listeners
of this show build a home for orphans. And the
way it works, if you're not familiar with Orphan Shade,
is they provide a couple that would volunteer to be
a mom and a dad to eight orphaned little girls

(29:00):
who have lost not just their mom but their dad.
They've lost both their parents. Girls are chosen because girls
are victimized more so than boys by a wide margin.
They're trafficked, they're abused, they are marginalized, they starve. This

(29:20):
is a game changer. We were approached and asked if
we could help them build another home. It's a heavier
lift than ever because of inflation, costs or higher So
I'll tell you more as we go through the morning.
But our operation Thanksgiving Spirit of Christmas project is Orphan Shade.

(29:41):
We're going to try to help them buy land and
build a home, home number six. In Malawi, we built
home number three. Now we'll see about home number six,
so begin thinking about it. You can learn more online
at Orphanshade dot com. But I'll tell you how to
give later on in the program. So there it is.

(30:03):
We're going to do it again for Orphan Shade. All right,
a second hour already here on the Morning Show with
Preston's gott great to be with you this morning. He
is Jose. I am Preston, and I'm pleased to have
on the phone line. Priscilla West. Priscilla works with Peter
Schweizer's Government Accountability Institute. She is a researcher there. She

(30:27):
is also chapter chair Moms for Liberty and an author.
Now an author, Priscilla, how many titles are you going
to have?

Speaker 6 (30:38):
I'm a bit of a collector, thanks, Presiden, Although technically
I am no longer the chapter chair for Leon County
on for Liberties, that is Miss Carrie van Klauskas, who
has stepped up to do that job. And I'm over
in Santa Rosa now, so I have stepped up to
do the same here.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
So you're a chapter chair in Santa Rosa. Yeah, okay,
so there you go.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
I've read directing a chapter that has been put on
ice for a while because that chair moved away. So
it's a shuffling the deck.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Let's talk about the book, The New Face of Woke Education.
I think I know the answer to this, but better
you than me, since you're the author. Why'd you write it?

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Well, initially, when I came to work for Peter Schweitzer,
you know the guys at Government Accountability Institute, they are
the experts at cronyism and corruption. And I guess the
initial thought was something to do with, you know, let's
look at why all of the kids got chromebooks, you know,

(31:40):
why the sudden profusion of technology. I mean, beyond the
obvious reasons for you know, learning, optimized learning and everything.
But surely there's got to be a lot of cronyism
and corruption in there. And there is, But it was
one of these yes, but kind of things. I kept

(32:00):
bumping up against all of this psychology, and very a
lot of energy and focus was being spent on subjective
measures in everything to do with education. You know, we
dug through mountains of education literature and academic research, school
board meetings, annual reports from education firms, and it was

(32:24):
all of this psychology. It was really weird. So I
kept coming back with these reports of weird New Age
occult Buddhist stuff, you know, New World Order stuff, and
it was like it was a bit of a head
scratcher for a long time until the picture started to
crystallize around this thing called SEL, which is social emotional learning.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
That beyond the acronym.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Right. Well, first off, all of my bosses seemed pretty
certain that the name of it, social emotional learning was
clinically designed to induce deep sleep. I nobody wanted to
hear about this stuff because, yeah, it's ostensibly it's about

(33:15):
teaching children to manage their emotions. It's about encouraging empathy
and kindness. You hear a lot of this talk if
you've got kids or grandkids in school these days. It's
a huge focus kindness empathy, But what it really is
about when you really distill it down, It's about control.

(33:37):
It's about conformity and installing a worldview there was along
with us.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Well, is this coming from the Department of Education that
used to exist and is hopefully slowly being dismantled. Is
this coming from local school boards? Where is this originating?

Speaker 6 (34:00):
Well, the difficult answer is that it's global. It has
gone airborne and it is worldwide. But there are many
layers to this, and the layer that most practitioners of it,
most believers in it occupy, is this one of oh,

(34:22):
we're encouraging empathy and kindness. So I don't think that
everyone involved in it at all in any way, as
you know, a bad person trying to control children their believers. Right,
it all sounds very very good, and the ultimate intentions
are well cloaked in academic language and very boring, kind

(34:44):
of dry. Lots of acronyms, the big sup of acronyms.
Takes a long time to kind of just wade through
those and translate all of the jargons.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Priscilla West with me this morning with the Government Accountability Institute.
The book The New Face of Woke Education got one
more segment left here. In the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
On News Radio one hundred point seven w u f L, A.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Clipping past the hour, Priscilla West the new face of
woke education. She's not the new face. It's just I'm
just saying she wrote the book, and uh, Priscilla, is
is this inside the curriculum as well? Is this uh
finding its way into the colleges and universities that are
that are teaching the next teachers? How is this showing up? Mostly?

(35:41):
Where where are we? Where's it getting its foothold?

Speaker 6 (35:45):
Preston, it is everywhere. If you are in a blue
state that is very proud of its s EL curriculum,
your your child is going to be having dedicated s
e L curriculum, dedicated SEL classes and that activities. But
if you are in a red state, you know, it's
it's going to be a little more subtle, a lot

(36:07):
more subtle. Actually, I was surprised to find a lot
of parallels between Florida's own resiliency education and and this
s EL. So it is definitely embedded in mainstream curricula.
All of the major publishers are are quite proud of
embedding s CL. Some of them say we we embed

(36:30):
SEL in everything we.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Do, but they don't. They some of them do it
under the under the guys that well, they don't. They
don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Others know exactly
what they're doing. So how do we divide how do
we divide this out? And and you know, start to
dismantle it.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Exactly. I mean when I was reviewing social studies curricula
for Leon County schools, when when it was the open
period for parents to get involved and look at the curricula.
You know, why do we have a different social studies
curriculum for Florida and for you know, for all fifty
states there's these one has its own curriculum? So why

(37:09):
why would that be? And that's because, yes, if you're
talking about Florida history, that's one thing. But it is
very clear when you start comparing the different versions of
the software, what is then each.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
So what's what's a parent to do?

Speaker 6 (37:28):
What is a parent to do? Parents are going to
have to become very savvy and knowing what a children,
what data is being collected on their children, because SEL
is not just about learning or about maintaining those you know,
managing emotions. Its harvests data, very personal data from children.

(37:49):
That's the thing. SEL started as classroom circle time and
all this kind of feel good in the classroom. But
once ed tech came into the classrooms and SEL was
infused throughout the edge tech, now we have these personalized
learning platforms that are serving children. It's a constant adaptive
feedback loop where children are answering questions and their answers

(38:12):
are being used to osensibly to help them learn, which
does make learning more effective in some cases. But when
you're talking about feelings and worldview and values something like
social emotional learning, that becomes a very slip brief slope.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
So it looks like it's a moving target as well.
I mean, the title of your book, New Face of
Woke Education suggests just that it's a moving target. We're
now redefining woke, and the left is kind of going with, well,
let's let's break away from from typical titles, and I
think you target. For example, DEI, Dei's got a new

(38:51):
name now right right.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
It's got dozens of new names possibly under it. We've
seen the departments all over the country rename themselves things
like the Office of Equity or sorry, the Office of
Culture and Belonging things like this.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Oh how nice?

Speaker 6 (39:11):
Oh yeah, yeah. Anytime you see a collection of words
that all sound really good but would be very hard
to define or pen down or assessed, start looking deeper.
What questions are they asking your kids? And what data
is being harvested in order to try and assess these
these ostensible ideals. You know, it's.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Priscilla, Thank you, Yeah, I appreciate the time this morning.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Oh thank you, Preston.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
All right, Priscilla West with us from the Government Accountability
account Ability Institute. The New Face Woke Education is the book.
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Giving season underway,

(40:08):
Orphan Shade. We're going to try to help them with
another home costs her up. Don't know if we can
do the whole thing, but we're at least going to
do our best to jump start the project. And so
let me plant this seed before you know. We'll talk
about it again later on in the hour. But to
any of you that have had a good year businesses.

(40:32):
Sometimes businesses have a sum of money that they accumulate
through the year and they're looking for a project that
can offer them a tax break, and they can feel
good about. Well, this project's between fifty and fifty five
thousand dollars to build this home. The costs are have
gone up again since twenty twenty three when we twenty

(40:57):
twenty two when we raise the forty dollars for the
first home, which is which was home number three in Mdecca.
As I always tell you, I never ask you to
give to a project that I don't personally support. My
wife and I have supported Orphan Shade for many years
and we continue to. But for those of you, this

(41:23):
is going to take some people willing to go a
little above and beyond, and it's going to take I
think some of you that have had a really good
year and you set aside some money for a good cause,
a business, and you're looking for that tax right off
and dropping you know, a couple grand five grand into

(41:48):
a project is nothing for you. It helps you on
your tax bill, and this is a great cause. We're
going to need you to make this happen. We're going
to need you. It's an ambitious project. It's the biggest
we've ever tried to tackle. But I believe Gods in this.
There were things that happened that caused a specific project

(42:12):
to literally just fall through the cracks. It just didn't happen.
I had originally looked at doing something with Mercy Ships,
loved the project. Inexplicably, they just never followed through with
the offer to help them find volunteers and to raise
money for their one of their one of their ships

(42:34):
to do medical care. They just never reached back out.
It was incredible. Then we had another project that we
thought of linking up with and that just did not
go where it needed to go. And so I try
to be a good steward of all of our money
and make sure that we're investing in projects that make

(42:57):
a difference and that are honorable and reputable and want
our help. And so as all of those things were
falling apart, Jay Sherlow of Orphan Shade reached out. He said,
is there any chance you could help? They're trying to
build two homes this year. They've already raised the money

(43:19):
for home number five. He said, could you help us
jump start number six? I said, I don't know if
I can do that this year, but we can talk
about it. And then when all of this fell apart,
it was like boom, there you go, there's the answer.

(43:40):
So I'm believing that all of this is in God's plan.
I'm believing that in the course of announcing and talking
about this that at those moments the right people will
be listening. So let me go ahead and jump started
this one. If you want to give, you go to

(44:07):
orphan Shade dot com. Orphan Shade dot com. This is
not an orphanage. It is a home for orphans where
these little girls are going to be raised until they're adults.
They'll be educated, they'll be clothed, they'll be fed, they'll
be protected, they'll have a home, they'll have parents that

(44:28):
will love them because they've lost their parents. They will
not be subject to trafficking and all of the different
perils that happen to little girls that are left without parents.
And so you go to Orphanshade dot com and when

(44:50):
you go there and you click the donate button, you
you pick whatever you want to do, whether it's just once, monthly, quarterly,
check the appropriate box and then it says apply my
gift to build a house. And then if you would like,

(45:12):
you can put house number six, you can put WFLA,
you can put my name, whatever you want to put there.
Just note that it's for House number six and connect
it to the show in some form or fashion. You
can just put TMS with Preston Scott or tms Preston Scott,
whatever you want. That way, they'll know what the money
is specifically going to. Would love to have you jump

(45:36):
on board. And again, business owners, we need you. We
need you, boy, do we need you, because this is
one that can't do it without a few bigger gifts.
So there you go, Orphanshade dot com. Twenty seven minutes
past the hour, come back and reset. The Big Stories
in the press Box.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston
Scott Monday on the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
How are you? Doctor Joe standing by. We'll talk with
him in just a few moments. First, the big stories
in the press box. Eight Democrats have jumped over with
Republicans and voted last night to end the filibuster. That
means that they will be bringing a vote on what

(46:39):
we hope will be a clean continuing resolution with the
promise of a vote on Obamacare subsidies continuing once this
is done. What that all shakes out to look like, specifically,
we do not know are they going to take the
House continuing Resolution and approve it. Are they going to

(47:04):
change it up and have it have to go back
to the House. We don't know that. There's always political intrigue.
The Democrats that joined, are they because they're safe politically?
Did Democrats meet is a caucus and agreed, let's we
got to get out of this. So let's have a
few defectors. You know, Bernie Sanders out there going nuts?

(47:29):
But is that just crazy Bernie being crazy? Bernie's he's
I don't know that he's technically a Democrat. I think
he's an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. But I
you know, I don't know who knows where he is
on any given day. So we're likely going to see
an end to the shutdown. Remember, Obamacare is subsidized to

(47:52):
eighty percent. Okay, so quote ending subsidies not real, It's
just that's a fiction. They want to extend the continuing
They want to extend the subsidies that were put in
place during COVID. So that's what this has been about,
as well as funding for NPR. But I think they

(48:13):
realize that's a dead deal and it should be. NPR
should not exist with our tax dollars. I should not,
as a private radio broadcaster, have to compete against NPR
with my own tax dollars. That's ridiculous if they are accurate.
The January sixth pipe bomb suspect is a member of

(48:35):
the Capitol Sorry, was a member of the Capitol Police
and she was, interestingly enough, in the time subsequent to
the alleged bombing plot, was promoted to the CIA. How
about that? Isn't that interesting? They have named her as

(48:57):
the likely suspect Shawnie Ray Kirkhoff Want of Alexandria, Virginia
a ninety four to a ninety eight percent match on
something called Gate Analysis, among other things. Now, what does
this do to the entire narrative of January sixth? When

(49:17):
the night before a member of the Capitol Police force.
Who oh, by the way, we talked about this, I
pointed out, I had looked at the video. I said,
what is the bomb suspect doing talking with Capitol police
right there after allegedly placing the bombs? What does this

(49:38):
do to the entire narrative that it's a member of
Capitol Police that was then promoted to the CIA. Was
that a reward, one would think? But again, this is
what's alleged. And then, lastly, what do you think about
this Nancy Pelosi retiring in the course of her career
as a member of Congress, while the Dow Jones had

(50:02):
a rate of return over several decades of twenty three
hundred percent, which is the growth of the Dow Jones
industrial in the time that Nancy Pelosi's been in Congress,
Nancy's portfolio grew by sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty percent.
Sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty percent. And she claims

(50:27):
there was never any inside trading done. Her husband never
did trades involving information she provided.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Never.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
I think that category mathematically that says she's a liar.
She should be prosecuted insider trading. Forty minutes after the hour,
Doctor Joe's standing by. Next, it's Healthy Expectations on the
Morning Show. Forty one minutes past the hour. Time for

(51:02):
some healthy expectations joining me, Doctor Joe Camp's Good morning, sir.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Good morning. How are you today, Preston.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
I'm doing all right. I've had a couple of days
since that debacle, so we're good. We're good.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Yeah, it's all right. You know, the last time we
talked about some cutting edge therapy. It was when we
were talking about semi glue tide, you know the drug
that everyone seemed ozipic. Everybody seems to be using it
for weight reduction. But there's a new one out and
some scientists are on the cutting edge with this one.

(51:35):
They have found that there is a particular treatment that
could help people cut their cholesterols. The LDL. Now that's
the bad cholesterol. The good one is HDL. And obviously,
what I'm leading up to is how do you deal
with that of those carosis, which is hardened of the arteries.
And this was a small trial of people, but basically

(51:59):
when they they looked at this, they basically found that
they could target a gene within the liver and that
it lured the LDL by fifty percent.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Now that that's significance. And this is one I'm going
to watch because obviously LDL is not good and the
number one killer in the world of all disease is
none other than heart disease.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
So this is one that I am going to stay
in touch with because I think they're on to something
which they can potentially find a drug to lower ldl's
bout fifty percent fifty percent, and that's what really got
my attention. So this is one Obviously it's in development stages,
but they have tested this now in fifteen people. So

(52:50):
a lot of times I don't like to talk about
the rat biology I call it because those are animals.
But when you start getting human studies and seeing these
types of results, then it's worth paying some attention to.
So excited to hear this. This was This has been
cited by the Cleveland Clinic Cardiology group, and it seems

(53:13):
to be very promising and something that we need to
keep a eye on.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Joe, in your experience all years of practice, when you
see this type of breakthrough, how long does it usually
take before it finds its way into the marketplace and
into the doctor's offices where they prescribe.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
I can tell you this is probably going to take
probably at least probably two to three years, I would say.
But when you get to this level and you start
having humans and that participate in these studies and that
potentially it can be a game change and a breakthrough.

(53:55):
So it's still going to take time. But just like
we did with semi group time, I'm sitting here talking
about that's all you hear about. Yeah, I mean it's
just unbelievable, and I think this particular finding probably will
have the same impact.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yeah, not only are we hearing about it all over
the place, we're now seeing dramatic reductions in cost in
making it available to more and more people.

Speaker 6 (54:18):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (54:18):
Absolutely, And I don't want let the government are but
you know, with that shutdown, I mean, the only thing
I think of, I mean, it affects a lot of people,
but certainly access to healthcare and getting the medicines you
need to live is something that's near and dear, and
so I'm glad they're moving forward with that. But you know,

(54:40):
those decisions can't affect the lives of many people, not
just fin answery, but like itself.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Joe, we're losing your cell phone. It's starting to get
a little choppy in the last couple of minutes, So
we thank you very much, sir. Talk again next week.
Doctor Joe camps with us Healthy Expectations forty six past
the hour. Get it off your chest.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
You have a story you want to share, write him
at Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Welcome to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. The giving season has begun.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
And we will once again as we did in twenty
twenty two, three years ago, we raised forty thousand dollars
to build and furnish home number three in Mdecca for
Orphan Shade. We will try to help them get built
home number six. They hope to build two homes this year.
These are not homes that will serve as orphanages. These

(55:53):
are homes for orphans. This will be their home. It
is constructed to survive the seasons. It is not built
with opulence in any way, shape or form. It is
built with efficiency. It is built for protection. It is

(56:15):
built to provide a home for eight girls that have
lost a mother and a father. In these villages, these
girls have experienced trauma, not just the loss of parents,
but food, insecurity, neglect, verbal, physical, sometimes even sexual abuse.

(56:36):
They are then considered the lowest of importance by the
extended family in the village. Usually the child's guardian and
elderly grandmother cannot or will not care for the child,
and so oftentimes they end up literally on their own
five year olds, six year olds, seven year olds with

(56:57):
no one caring for them, and so in these homes
they provide a place for eight girls at a time
between the ages of eight and ten, and they raise
them until they are adults. This is their home, a
husband and wife that have been vetted by a local church,
and they work with only partner churches that are healthy

(57:23):
and vibrant, with pastors that are there that are itinerant pastors.
And so this is about providing a change of trajectory,
a change of the family tree, one girl at a time.

(57:44):
We helped build Home number three. We built the home.
We've supported that home. That home is supported by listeners
of this radio program period. We raise the funds through
this radio program period. The cost this time is fifty

(58:04):
five thousand dollars US. That is the cost of building, furnishing,
acquiring the land, everything. The quicker we can raise the money,
the quicker they can keep the cost down because they
can buy the materials. They hope to build this home
as well as Home number five, which they've already raised
the money for in twenty twenty six. My wife and

(58:31):
I have supported Orphan Shade for many years. We put
our money where we're where I'm putting my mouth right now.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
And so.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
There's no there's not a way of doing this unless
some of you get big, and I would never ask
you to do that unless you've been blessed and are able.
If you've been blessed, it's all gods anyway, And I'm
asking you to redirect a good chunk of money to
this cause. If you have a business and every year

(59:05):
at the end of the year you do something special
with money that has been set aside for giving, there's
a tax benefit.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
This is a.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Charity that you will get tax credit for. I can
assure you because I know the founder. This is money
very well spent. Jan and his wife have given their
lives to this as once he got out of the

(59:38):
professional world. This is what he's dedicated his life to.
They travel to Malawi once or twice a year. The
pastor that has seated all of these churches comes here.
He works for a few months in America to make
money to support the cause of there, to support the churches,

(01:00:02):
to support the orphanage, the homes for orphanage orphans. I
should say he works here and all of the money
he makes here goes there. He doesn't keep any of
it for himself. So if you can donate Orphanshade dot com,
Orphanshade dot com, click the donate button, choose whatever level

(01:00:27):
of giving and the frequency and in the boxes and
then click in the drop down on what's it for,
designate it to build a house and in the comments
put house number six WFLA, my name, Preston Scott, the
Morning Show, whatever you want to put but for home
number six. And let's let's sit back and see what

(01:00:49):
God will do. I know you'll be blessed. Orphanshade dot com.
Click and donate and we start to day. Irish Chaffell
will join me next we'll talk a little FSU football. Yeah,
I wanted to get the good news out of the way.

(01:01:22):
All right, friends, here we go. It's the third hour
of the Morning Show with Prestin Scotti, Josiah and Preston.
And this is the managing editor of war Chant dot
com joining us once again to talk a little FSU football.
Is Iris Cheffel. Good morning. How are you Ira?

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I'm great, Preston, how are you good?

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
All right? I said I was gonna go no micro
and mostly macro, but there is a little micro. Are
we at that point where FSU has to consider playing
a different quarterback just for the sake of trying to
keep that quarterback around and for the sake of trying
to get some wins because there are just too many
mistakes being made at quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
I think it's a fair question. You know, obviously Tommy
Caslanos didn't play great in that game, but I also
think that, you know, he didn't get a lot of help.
I mean, if he gets some of those passes caught
that should have been caught, things might have looked a
whole lot differently. And you know, I just the separation
between him and Brockland and Kevin Sperry must be so huge,
and none of us really know because we're not a practice,

(01:02:24):
but they feel like they can't make a change. But
you know, I get where you're coming from. It's uh,
Casilanos certainly didn't play well, and I would have given
Sperry or Brockland a chance at something at some point
in the last few games, but there's no indication right
now that there is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Well, I mean, if you're going to lose some football games,
don't you want to lose with maybe the idea of
developing for the future.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Yeah, that's a thought, but you know a lot of
times current coaches aren't as focused on that as fans
might be. You know, the fans are going to be
here next year. Some of these coaches may not be.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
And that's and that leads me perfectly to the next
little isolated thing that I watched happen. And and perhaps
you know, I don't know if you're up in the
press box at Death Valley if you got a chance
to see it, but you know, the back to back
penalties by Lowayne McCoy, those of us that saw the
television broadcast saw it coming that. We we saw that

(01:03:20):
Lwayne was going to get into it with that kid
from Clemson. Why didn't the coaches see that? Why didn't
they get him off the field and let him cool down?

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
Yeah, that's definitely gonna be a good question for Mike
Norvell when we speak to him today. We did talk
to Gus Malzan and Tony White yesterday, but you know,
with the offense, there were so many other things we
kind of had start to with becus and we only
get seven eight minutes. But uh, but no, we'll definitely
ask Mike Norvel about that today because it was a
similar situation to you know, what happened with Edwin Joseph
a couple weeks before, where he gets into a blowout

(01:03:50):
blow up with Mike Norvell and then goes right back
in the game. That's clearly this is this is how
this coaching staff handles things that they don't That's so
they pulled guys out when they make really silly mistakes
or you know, costly penalties. But that doesn't mean we
shouldn't ask about it. It doesn't mean fans shouldn't be mad
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Yeah, you just you knew the penalty was coming. You
knew that that it was going to happen, and sadly,
the other kids should have been penalized too, but it
didn't happen that way. So let's let's let's broaden things
out just a little bit. Does this Does this loss
against what what you absolutely identify as not a very
good Clemson football team, does this pretty much seal Mike

(01:04:32):
Norvelle's fate.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
I mean, I think I don't know that that moment
does It certainly doesn't help, you know, I think when
you lost to Stanford and you didn't make a change,
I mean my feeling was, you know, for Mike norvel
to to keep his job, he was going to have
to win maybe four of the last five games, and
then you know they did beat Wake Forest or three
of the last four.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
You know, they did beat.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Wake Forest, you lose to Clemson. You know, I felt
like at the time, if you if you can find
a way to beat Clemson or Ford on the road,
maybe one of those games in the other home games,
you'd have a chance.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
I mean, I think that there's certainly a lot of
people are in the administration and around the program who
feel like this is going to end with a coaching change.
But I don't know that it's been determined yet, and
even if it has, it clearly has been announced yet.
So you know, I don't know that that was the
final straw, but you know, certainly didn't help.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
I think for Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
Norvelt, who have saved his job, they were going to
have to go on a great run these last four
or five weeks, and it clearly doesn't look like that's happening.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Yeah, I think they're gonna not. They would have to
not only go on a great run, I think they'd
have to look pretty good doing it, and that's maybe
the more challenging part of this whole equation. Irish stand
by another segment to go iras Chapelle with us war
chant dot com. That's where you go get all the
intail on FSU athletics. Subscribe war chant dot com. Another

(01:06:06):
few minutes with Irishafelle, managing editor at war chant dot com.
It seems like this is a this is now in
the world of financial battles because you've got on one
hand the new climate of college football and NIL and
the need to raise funds to keep a team or
to attract a team of players to a football program.

(01:06:27):
But yet there's likely going to be some reticence to
put money in that pot moving forward, isn't there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, I think
that's challenged everybody's facing. I mean, listen, you know, the
donors and boosters like giving money to buildings, like they
like having their names on buildings. Sure, they like having
and they certainly want their program to be successful. NIL
is not as popular with donors as people might think.
You know, there are some people with unlimited money who

(01:06:57):
feel the need to, you know, to do that some schools,
but most schools, like Florida State, it's not an unlimited
supply of money, and so that's a challenge. And then
especially when now you're gonna have revenue sharing, so there's
going to be some pushback on that side of it.
And then if you're not having success, that creates another challenge.
But you know, I still think people are going to

(01:07:17):
keep giving to college athletics as long as they think
there's a chance that's going to have an impact. But yeah,
I mean it's it's, uh, you know, the future of
the sport is, you know, in some degree at peril.
And I think part of that is because you know, people,
I think fans and donors at some point want to know,
you know, where's this money really going.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
The last three games of the season and then what
maybe the Mayonnaise Bowl if they end up above five hundred, right,
something like that, you know, could be out there so
they could get an extra game. As you mentioned last week,
they could win these final games. They could lose all
these final games. They could do something in the middle.
What does the financial picture look like? Because I think

(01:08:00):
fans need to know what it takes if they move
on from Mike Norvel. It becomes a remarkably costly adventure
and it makes the buyout of Willie Taggert look like peanuts.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, I mean, there was a time when I thought
there's no way Florida State's going to pay twenty million
dollars for Willy Tagger to go away, and then they
did it. And so yeah, right now, Mike Norvell would
be owde of closer closer to sixty million dollars. It
would be the second biggest buyout ever, behind only Jimbo
Fisher or Texas A and m right. And you know,

(01:08:35):
then the rest of the staff, you know, Gus malls On,
Tony White, all these assistant coaches have multi year contracts
as well. You know, you're talking about over ten to
fifteen million dollars there as well. And then you've got to,
you know, start looking at bringing in a new coaching
staff and whatever that's going to cost. So yeah, this
is an expensive proposition. But I think when you, you know,
if you do have to make a change, which I

(01:08:57):
think it looks like they're going to have to make
a change, I mean, there's it's almost inconceivable when we
watch that team play Saturday Clemson to think they're gonna
go on the road and win one or two more games.
I mean, they just don't play well on the road
and in Florida and Clemson are Florida and and NC
State are not good football teams, but neither was Clemson.
Clemson was there to be beaten, and Forest State just

(01:09:19):
didn't do it. So, you know, I think a change
is gonna have to come and and they're gonna have
to come up with the money. Uh, it's gonna be difficult,
but I think they'll find a way.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
To me, it doesn't look like this is a sustainable situation,
and so they're gonna have to figure it out. But
it's gonna be caught very, very costly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
I'm going to make a prediction, all right, I'm gonna
I'm gonna predict that the next head coach is on
the staff and that's going to prevent them from having
to shell out quite as much money. That's my prediction.
It's gonna be one of the two coordinators.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
All right, Well, we'll see, we'll see if you're right.
I don't know that's possible. That would definitely be the
easiest solution and the least painful, But I don't know
that that's the right solution. But yeah, man, it's definitely
one of the possibilities on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
I didn't say it was the right one. I'm just
guessing that that's going to be the one that that
it's gonna go that way. And honestly, you could make
the argument that, Okay, roll the dice on Tony White
and just see what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Yeah, no, I mean there, it certainly would have, you know,
I think it would have been a stronger, you know,
a thought maybe early in the year. I just think,
you know, they did struggle in some of those games.
I mean, I really think that. To me, the pit
game was so bad and in some of these games
where you're like, I don't know, maybe this guy isn't
who he thought he was going to be. But yeah,

(01:10:41):
I mean, he's a sharp guy he was coming into
the season. That was certainly a thought. I think there
were people around the program who thought, well, Florid State
plays well this year. Maybe Mike Norbell, you know, looks
for a new fresh start somewhere else, and you promote
from within. So it's definitely something that's out there. It's
not completely out of the realm. But I just think
when you're when you play as poorly as FoST eight

(01:11:03):
as the times a season, it's hard to sell to
the fan base. We're going to bring somebody up from
within the stat Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
I just get back to its players, not place. And
I still think that they've got there a few years
away from getting that roster, right, Ira, you're my man.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Thank you, Preston, take care all right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Iras Chaffelle with us from war chant dot com. Sixteen past.
Another few minutes with Iris Chafelle, Managing editor at war
chant dot com. It seems like this is a this
is now in the world of financial battles, because you've
got on one hand the new climate of college football

(01:11:44):
and NIL and the need to raise funds to keep
a team or to attract a team of players to
a football program. But yet there's likely going to be
some reticence to put money in that pot moving forward,
isn't there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, I think
that's a challenge everybody's facing. I mean, listen, you know,
the donors and boosters like giving money to buildings, like
they like having their names on buildings, they like having
and they certainly want their program to be successful. NIL
is not as popular with donors as people might think.
You know, there are some people with unlimited money who

(01:12:23):
feel the need to you know, to do that. Some schools,
but most schools, like Florida State, it's not an unlimited
supply of money, and so that's a challenge. And then
especially when now you're gonna have revenue sharing, so there's
gonna be some pushback on that side of it. And
then if you're not having success, that creates another challenge.
But you know, I still think people are going to

(01:12:43):
keep giving to college athletics as long as they think
there's a chance that's going to have an impact. But yeah,
I mean it's it's, uh, you know, the future of
the sport is you know, in some degree of peril.
And I think part of that is because you know, people,
I think fans and donors at some point want to know,
you know, where's this money really going.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
The last three games of the season and then what
maybe the Mayonnaise Bowl if they end up above five hundred, right,
something like that, you know, could be out there so
they could get an extra game. As you mentioned last week,
they could win these final games, they could lose all
these final games, they could do something in the middle.
What does the financial picture look like? Because I think

(01:13:26):
fans need to know what it takes if they move
on from Mike Norvel. It becomes a remarkably costly adventure,
and it makes the buyout of Willie Taggert look like peanuts.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Yeah, I mean there was a time when I thought
there's no way Florida State's going to pay twenty million
dollars for Willy tagger to go away, and then they
did it. And so yeah, right now Mike Norvell would
be out of closer it's closer to sixty million dollars.
It would be the second biggest buyout ever behind only
Jimbo Fisher, Texas A and m Right. And you know,

(01:14:01):
then the rest of the staff, you know, Gus malls On,
Tony White, all these assistant coaches have multi year contracts
as well. You know, you're talking about over ten to
fifteen million dollars there as well. And then you've got to,
you know, start looking at bringing in a new coaching
staff and whatever that's going to cost. So yeah, this
this is an expensive proposition. But I think when you know,
if you do have to make a change, which I

(01:14:23):
think it looks like they're going to have to make
a change. I mean, there's it's almost inconceivable when we
watch that team play Saturday Clemson, to think they're going
to go on the road and win one or two
more games. I mean, they just don't play well on
the road. And Florida and Clemson A Florida and NC
State are not good football teams, but neither was Clemson.
Clemson was there to be beaten, and Florida State just

(01:14:45):
didn't do it. So, you know, I think a change
is going to have to come and they're going to
have to come up with the money. It's going to
be difficult, but I think they'll find a way. I
don't think. To me, it doesn't look like this is
a sustainable situation, and so they're gonna have to figure
it out. But it's gonna be caught very, very costly.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
I'm going to make a prediction, all right, I'm gonna
I'm gonna predict that the next head coach is on
the staff and that's going to prevent them from having
to shell out quite as much money. That's my prediction.
It's going to be one of the two coordinators.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
All right, Well, we'll see, we'll see if you're right.
I I I don't know. That's possible. That would definitely
be the easiest solution and the least painful. But I
don't know that that's the right solution. But yeah, man,
it's definitely one of the possibilities on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I didn't say it was the right one. I'm just
guessing that that's gonna be the one that that it's
gonna go that way. And and honestly, you could make
the argument that, Okay, roll the dice on Tony White
and just see what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
Yeah, no, I mean there, it certainly would have, you know,
I think it would have been a stronger, you know,
a thought maybe early in the year. I just think
they did struggle in some of those games. I mean
I really think that. To me, the pit game was
so bad, and in some of these games where you're like,
I don't know, maybe this guy isn't who he thought
he was going to be, but yeah, I mean he's

(01:16:08):
a sharp guy he was coming into the season. That
was certainly a thought. I think there were people around
the program who thought, well, Florida State plays well this year,
maybe Mike Norbell, you know, looks for a new fresh
start somewhere else, and you promote from within, so It's
definitely something that's out there. It's not completely out of
the realm. But I just think when you're when you
play as poorly as Florida State has the times this season,

(01:16:31):
it's hard to sell to the fan base. We're going
to bring somebody up from within the staff.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Yeah, I just get back to its players, not plays,
and I still think that they've got there a few
years away from getting that roster, right, I right, you're
my man, Thank you, sir. I appreciate the time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Thank you, Preston, take care all right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Irischafelle with us from more chant dot com sixteen past.
Did you know that the Democrat socialist Islamic mayor of

(01:17:12):
New York City wanted to be a rapper, announced an
all female team to help him transition into the new office.

(01:17:35):
He's proposing a thirty dollars an hour minimum wage. He
wants to mandate that for anyone working in the city
that they must pay that to any employee. This is
just the classic example of people that are on the
left not understanding the mathematics of an economy. All right,

(01:18:00):
everybody in the city makes thirty dollars an hour. First
of all, here's how you argue this point, why stop
at thirty, let's make it seventy five. Then the retort is, well,
you can't pay seventy five dollars an hour? What wait?
Why not? See you take whatever they're throwing out there.

(01:18:25):
Thirty dollars fine, thirty? Okay, how about sixty? Why not
seventy five? Seventy five dollars an hour? Why not? Because
they'll say you can't do that, well, why not? The
very same things that will be listed as reasons why
you can't do seventy five an hour are the reasons

(01:18:46):
why you can't mandate thirty. But we're doing it. But
here's what happens. Inflation happens. Inflation has to happen because
a business has to maintain margins to stay alive, to
stay afloat, It must rate raise prices of goods and

(01:19:07):
services to account for the dramatic increase in labor costs.
And so as you raise the cost of labor, you
raise the cost of the social security contribution you have
to make on behalf of those workers, so your cost
of labor goes up even more. So what you then

(01:19:31):
have to do is you have to cut the number
of employees that you have, so joblessness goes up, or
you have to cut their hours so you gain You're
gaining nothing by doing it this way. This does not
cheat the curve. It exacerbates it, It makes it worse.

(01:19:57):
But then he wants free buses, and buses will run
faster because they won't be taking fares, people won't be paying.
But how is he going to pay for that? Well,
we know he has told us how he's going to
pay for it. He's going to tax the wealthy. He's

(01:20:18):
going to tax businesses. He's going to raise the corporate
tax rate by four and a quarter percent up to
eleven and a half percent. So not only our business
is paying taxes to the federal government, businesses now have

(01:20:39):
to pay taxes to the city at a rate of
eleven point five percent, not seven point twenty five, which
is thievery anyway. And so that's going to raise five
billion dollars a year. Except for this, businesses are going
to leave. So now what, Well, he's going to tax

(01:21:02):
as well anyone who makes more than a million dollars.
The top one percent in New York City make over
a million dollars a year, he says the campaign. But
at tax it essentially the same rate as everyday New
Yorker's three point nine percent. Yeah, and three point nine
percent of a million dollars is a heck of a
lot more than three point nine percent of one hundred thousand.

(01:21:22):
But that kind of mathematics escapes people on the left.
They don't understand that, no, no, they're going to raise
it another two percent. That's going to raise another four billion.
So now with just new taxes, you're taking nine to
ten billion dollars out of the pockets of the people

(01:21:47):
that spend money. They don't have that money to spend anymore.
So that's ten billion dollars out of the local economy.
But people are going to be able to ride a
bus for free. And who pays for that? The people

(01:22:08):
that pay for everything, the people that are taxed. And oh,
by the way, those corporate taxes, you know who's going
to pay for that. Not the businesses. They'll either leave
or they take that two percent additional cost. And they
do what they did with a three point nine percent
that was originally on there. They added to the bill

(01:22:29):
because businesses don't pay taxes. People do. And so there
is your short lesson on minimum wage and quote taxing
the rich. He is speeding up the exit of the
people that make it possible for New York City to exist.

(01:22:52):
Twenty seven and twenty eight minutes after recap the big
stories in the press Box.

Speaker 5 (01:22:57):
Next, this is The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
I think to say that Democrats caved is a bit ambitious.
I think to say that some Democrats splintered, that's fair.
Schumer is left really in trouble here with this, but

(01:23:37):
you don't know what happened behind closed doors. My suspicion is, hey,
I could be wrong absolutely that the eight Democrats that's
splintered away are in districts are seats, sorry, not districts,
it's the Senate are in seats that are safe. And
they felt like they could do that and let the
rest of the Democrats save face. Weren't going to win this,

(01:24:03):
so they ended the filibuster. They didn't kill it. The
filibuster still is a thing. They voted to end it.
They had the sixty votes and they ended the filibuster,
which now means it's time to vote on a clean resolution,
meaning on the matters at hand. Subsidies, separate Senate leadership,
John Thune and company said we will, we will promise

(01:24:26):
you a vote. They don't have the votes to get
the subsidies done. And and here's the thing that's that
that is a political problem for Republicans, but it's one
they have to face. We cannot subsidize Obamacare more than
it's already subsidized, and in fact, we should be rolling

(01:24:48):
it off. So that's one big story in the press box.
It is a procedural win. It doesn't end the shutdown,
but it paves the way for them to end it
today if they want to. They want to, they could
have ended it before it ever happened. And I just

(01:25:09):
want all of you to remember this when this comes
back around at election time. The Democrats wanted suffering people
as political leverage, and they bragged about it. They said
it out loud. Don't ever forget that. Number Two. If

(01:25:34):
the January sixth pipe bomb suspect is in fact a
former Capitol police officer who got promoted out of her,
yes her job to the CIA, the whole January sixth narrative,
which we knew was bogus, has now gotten a very

(01:25:55):
different tone to it. This speaks to a cover up
at a level that is absolutely the most damnable corrupt
act of government that we've ever been made aware of.

(01:26:17):
I say that we've ever been made aware of because I,
for one, believe that the government killed jfk I believe
the government played a role in the death of Martin
Luther King I played. I believe the government played a
role in the death of Robert F. Kennedy. I believe
the government played a role in trying to kill Donald Trump.
I am now of the opinion the government likely played

(01:26:38):
a role in nine to eleven. I do not trust
our government that said we've got four to nine percent

(01:27:00):
accuracy that the woman that was putt in pipe bombs
at two locations, the RNC and the DNC, which is
just stupid. So what are they going to say now?
Is a training exercise that went wrong? Whatever? The blaze

(01:27:28):
broke the story last week brought it to a analysis.
The analysis said, my god, she's one of us. She's
one of us. Oops? What has this changed? The whole
outlook of January sixth and the aftermath of it, and
then the other big story, the final big story. Nancy

(01:27:51):
Pelosi earned more than one hundred and thirty million dollars
in stock profits when she was in Congress with a
return of sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty percent, more
than eight times the normal return the Dow Jones had.

(01:28:12):
The Dow Jones had a return of two thousand. Got
the number right here, two three hundred, twenty three hundred.
The Dow Jones had a return of twenty three hundred.
She had sixteen thousand, nine hundred. It is a mathematical

(01:28:32):
impossibility short of insider trading. She needs to be charged
investigated at the very least forty one minutes passed. So

(01:29:05):
Donald Trump, out of Washington Commanders Detroit Lions football game yesterday,
gets booed by fans while doing the enlistment of young
men and women into the military. What do you think
think some of those fans are laid off federal workers
and are blaming him. Whatever, tip of the captamind Ross

(01:29:31):
Saint Brown scored a touchdown, did the Trump dance? That's
good even though he's Alliance player. That's okay. I tip
my cap to that. But just sad, very very sad.
Snap benefits Supreme Court, you know, paved the way on

(01:29:54):
some partial payments, but this looks like it's going to
remedy that but the Supreme Court ruling could be useful
down the road in allowing the Trump administration to do
what it needs to do to help people in the
midst of the just absurdity. But there's another part of

(01:30:15):
this whole thing that cannot be forgotten. There needs to
be and this needs to be to the extent that
I think we need to add this to the Convention
of States that in a government shut down, the government
doesn't the government not being paid starts with Congress, the

(01:30:38):
elected leaders and their offices. They don't get paid either.
And I say their offices because the bureaucrats have a
lot to say about what happens there. The people that
run these congressional offices, they're the ones that float around.
Members come and go with elections. Those people, they say,

(01:31:01):
a lot of them get picked up by the next office,
whoever comes in. So it's there's just it is so broken,
and we still have the best country in the world,
but our government is so broken. I wish I could

(01:31:24):
tell you there was an easy fix for this. It
just isn't. We didn't get here overnight, and I'm not
sure that it's going to get a whole lot better.
I think we're gonna have like we were experiencing. Now
there are reprieves, There will be reprieves, but there it's
it's a little bit like I liken it to kind

(01:31:44):
of a boa constrictor python type thing. It's gonna it's
gonna contract and get a little bit better grip, and
then it expands a little bit and loosens up, but
it never loses its grip completely. And then it tightens
down a little bit more, then loosens up a little bit,
and then tightens down on more. And that's what I
think we're seeing. We're seeing a cycle here of suffocation.

(01:32:07):
Just look at the Obamacare subsidy issue. It's subsidized at
eighty percent. They wanted ninety three. So the subsidies go away,
the python lessens its grip, and then they find a
way to bring them back. Titans back down. Why is
that tightening down Because it's creating a single payer insurance system,

(01:32:30):
socialized medicine. Your children and grandchildren will lose under socialized medicine.
Remember this is the country all the socialists come to
when they really need healthcare. Just remember that. Forty seven
minutes past the hour, it's giving season. We'll tell you

(01:32:50):
about it next Now tomorrow on the program, we are
hoping to have Justin Haskins with us. Haven't gotten confirmation,
so we will be prepared either way. We'll have a
manly minute money talk and maybe maybe start planting some

(01:33:16):
seeds for holiday shopping. But it's the giving season and
we have announced today that we are going to partner
once again with Orphan Shade. We did this three years ago,
but now it's time to purchase land build home number six.
We helped back a couple of years ago and we
raised the money and built home number three, bought the land,

(01:33:38):
built the home, furnished it a little bit better than
forty thousand dollars, and then listeners of this program stepped
alongside and gave the monthly support to support the home.
So we're going to see if we can jumpstart this.
It's a fifty five thousand dollars bid. We can't do

(01:33:59):
it without you. If everybody who listens to this program
gives a little we can make a huge den in this.
If a few of you give a little more, we
can do it. We can do it. Need some businesses
to give a big donation of one thousand twenty five

(01:34:20):
hundred five thousand dollars or more. We need some of
you that have had a blessed year to give sacrificially.
It's all gods anyway, And let's build a home for
young girls that do not have a mom or a dad,
that have been orphaned in Malawi. And this is their home.
This is not an orphanage, this is their home. It's

(01:34:42):
a home for young girls who are orphans lost both parents.
So go to Orphanshade dot com, orphanshade dot com, click
the donate button in the drop down build a house
and in the comments put WFLA my name or put
home numbers.

Speaker 5 (01:35:01):
Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the
Morning Show one on WFLA. All right, we started the
program with Isaiah forty verse three, little prophetic nod to
the Ministry of John Big Stories in the press box,

(01:35:23):
Nancy Pelosi earned more than one hundred and thirty million
dollars in stock profits and a return of sixteen thousand,
nine hundred and thirty percent.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
She says it was all legit. That is, that is
a mathematical impossibility. She beat the Dow Jones return by
nine times. Whatever, whatever, the J six pipe bomber allegedly

(01:36:02):
is a former Capitol Police officer five to six female,
Shawnee Ray Kirkhoff, thirty one. She is a ninety four
to ninety eight percent match of the person, and they
were surveilling the home right next to her home before
they were called off. And that interesting. Former FBI agents testifying, yes,

(01:36:26):
we were called off of that. Now what happens with
this story? Of course, the filibusters ended. The Senate can
now vote on a clean resolution to open the government
back up. The drama that has ensued because of Democrats

(01:36:46):
is just never ending. Speaking of drama, just wait and
see what happens in New York City. Thirty dollars an
hour minimum wage mandated. That's what's coming, as well as
free buses, as well as childcare, and I mean the
list goes on and on. Nothing's ever free. It's paid
for by somebody. Always remember that. And of course, giving season, Orphanshade,

(01:37:08):
Orphanshade dot com. Do what you can and let's get
this thing started tomorrow. Cannot wait. We're just twenty one
hours away from another edition of the Morning Show. Friends,
have an awesome day. Stay warm out there,
