Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, good morning, friends, and welcome to Tuesday, December of
the ninth on The Morning Show with Preston Scott Show
five thousand, five hundred and nine. He is hose can
you see? I am Preston Scott, and we begin with
a praise report go God. The the final figure at

(00:32):
the end of the day yesterday for Orphan Shade fifty
five thousand, five hundred and eighty one dollars. Friends, It's done.
You have made it happen. I'm already praying for the

(00:58):
eight little girls that are going to be House number
six that you built, that you provided the funds for.
And I am just blown away, though not surprised by God.
I mean, God never surprises, but God is always awesome.

(01:22):
And there'd be some that might say, would you still
be praising Jesus if you didn't meet to fifty five thousand, Yeah,
yeah I would, because I know enough at this stage
of my life to know there would be a reason
for that. There would be something that God was going

(01:44):
to do in the midst of that. So all I
can tell you is thank you from the bottom of
my heart. On behalf of Jay Stacey, Pastor Prince Kompono
Coompomo and that village where this home is going to
be placed, and those little girls. That's what gets me going.

(02:09):
Those little girls are going to have a chance, and
it's just way to go, people, way to go. We
start with that a praise report, and then we segue
over to Jeremiah thirty three fourteen, where it says, behold,

(02:29):
the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will
fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel
in the House of Judah. That was more than six
hundred years before Jesus' birth. The days are coming. In

(02:58):
God's economy of time, it happened like that in hours,
more than six centuries. But Jesus came, and that's what
we celebrate in December. It's the one day of the

(03:22):
year that literally everybody acknowledges, if not celebrates. I've long
challenged atheists, Well, if you don't believe, then go to work.

(03:47):
I think Christmas days on a Thursday this year, go
to work. Just go do your job. But for the
most part, commerce stops all over the world. Yeah, you'll
find a circle k here or there and some poor
soul stuck working, But generally this is the day that

(04:15):
the world acknowledges, and it's called Christmas, and it honors
the birth of Jesus, a historical figure, a fact, a
man so significant he divided time. Know anybody else that

(04:42):
happened For the most published book of all time? And
it's not even close is the Bible? Yeah, that'll get
us started. Ten minutes past the hour. It is the

(05:03):
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Good person with the Morning Show, Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
All right. December the ninth American Patriots Almanacs seventeen seventy five.
The Patriots defeat the British and Loyalist force at Great Bridge, Virginia,
driving the British out of Virginia for the early part
of the Revolutionary War. Eighteen thirty five. The Texan Army
captures San Antonio in the War for Independence from Mexico.

(05:47):
Nineteen oh seven. Christmas Seals first go on sale in Wilmington, Delaware,
to help fight tuberculosis nineteen seventy. By December of that year,
the ARPA net connects eleven computer installations, mainly concentrated in
the Boston, Boston, and Los Angeles areas. Networking for all

(06:13):
of It's good in certain areas is inherently bad and dangerous.
The interconnected power grid. No one has ever convinced me,
and people in the field have tried that this is smart,
because the interconnected power grid can cause a complete shutdown

(06:37):
of the eastern part of the country. Well, it's designed
in case one part goes down, they can shovel shuttle
power to the other parts that I don't care if
you lose power in an area, Okay, fix it. But
we are so vulnerable right now with our networking. And

(07:01):
in nineteen ninety three the military blows up the first
five hundred minute Men two missiles designated for destruction under
an arms control treaty. Today is national. I had to
look this up. Lutfisk and it might be lutefisk. It's
a Scandinavian Norwegian fish dish. And as I looked at

(07:25):
this and considered that regions of the world have food
tastes that are just different. Right, this is just gross
if you're not Scandinavian. And I could be wrong in
just saying lutfisk. It's cod that gets soaked in lie

(07:51):
after it's caught. It's dried to the point of becoming
firm and leathery to tenderize the fish and bring it
back to its former condition soaked in lie. Once it's
nice and tender, lutfisk is skinned and boned, finally boiled
until it reaches a gelatness consistency. Another way to prepare

(08:17):
it is to season it and bake it in the oven.
Some say it tastes mildly fishy, with a soapy aftertaste.
Many people say it doesn't smell so good. To make
it more edible, some people coat the fish in beer
batter and deep fry it. Despite its taste and smell,

(08:37):
many die hard Scandinavians still eat it. It is a
Christmas tradition. Madison, Minnesota is the lutefisk capital of the world.

(09:00):
I bet you'd add a little garlic to that, a
lot of garlics. O m G. You can find recipes
all over the place, but there is no way I'm
eating it. And I love fish. I don't like fishy fish.
Do you know what I mean by that? I don't
like oily and fish that smells. I'm a flaky white.

(09:24):
I will occasionally eat some swordfish, but like, give me
some black and snapper or redfish or grouper. Yeah, yeah,
it's Christmas Card Day, National Pastry Day. You know the
only kind of pastries I don't like fruity ones. They've

(09:48):
got fruit in them. Nah, now you can have those.
And so there you go, sixteen past the out kids.

(10:11):
Before you start making loot fisk, let's consider the key
ingredient lie. Lie is a strong alkaline substance, primarily sodium
hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, crucial for making soap, detergents, paper,
and in fore industrial cleaning like drain unclogging due to

(10:32):
its ability to dissolve fats and proteins. While historically derived
from wood ash, modern lie is a caustic chemical that
must be handled with extreme care, use protective gear in
well ventilated areas, as it causes severe burns and reacts
with water, releasing heat. Yeah. I'm gonna make some loot

(10:53):
fisk real soon. Josees over there are going, you know,
I'm kind of interested, kind of feeling it. Well, buddy,
I know what I'm getting you for Christmas? Oh my gosh, no,
thank you. You know I was looking. Justin Haskins was

(11:16):
supposed to join us. He canceled, got sick yesterday and
said I am not down for this, and so he
wrote me late in the evening and I'm like, it's
all good, brother, We'll circle back in January. It's fine,
but I had so many stories. You know what I
wrote in this segment. Well might as well get started.

(11:43):
Do you know the name Senator US Senator John Curtis.
You probably don't. He is the Mitt Romney replacement out
of Utah. And Mitt Romney was an embarrassment to the
Republican Party, just a woke weak man. Well he's we've

(12:10):
got another Mitt Romney. He actually went on State of
the Union over the weekend and said all of us
need to wake up every morning, look in the mirror
and say, what am I doing specifically today to make
our immigrants feel more welcome. Now, this guy's allegedly a Republican.

(12:39):
Note he doesn't distinguish immigrants from illegal immigrants. We've had,
you know, a few million set loose in this country,
allowed to enter in break in. We have Somali migrants,
legal and illegal, scamming us out of billions. We have
h one b immigrants taking American jobs. Needless to say,

(13:05):
the response to him online has been just spectacular. Let
me share some of the responses as a naturalized citizen.
I did the opposite. I woke every day thinking how
can I succeed as an American and make the USA
a better place? How can I succeed as an American?

(13:30):
Another reply, our immigrants, not my immigrants, And I don't
see Curtis housing any I didn't invite them here, did he?
Who's are they? Or do they belong to themselves in
the country? From whence they came? Does calling this assistance

(13:50):
hotline count with a photo of ice? So glad we
got rid of Mitt Romney and got this other Mitt Romney. No,
every immigrant should wake up every morning and ask themselves
what they can do to show their gratitude to this
country and its people. But no Republican politician will ever
say that, So instead we get bs like this. Without Trump,

(14:15):
this would be the GOP status quo. And after he's gone,
this is exactly what the Republican establishment will attempt to
bring the party back to. That is worth remembering. This
is how disconnected our government is from us not understanding

(14:41):
the nuanced not so nuanced. Sorry, there is no nuance.
Illegal and legal immigration. They're very different things. There's nothing
nuanced about it. We have some really significant problems here

(15:03):
with the illegal immigration and with legal immigration, and with
the takeover of this nation by Islamists. I came across
a former Islamist who's now a pastor. He got saved,
radically saved and became a pastor, and he speaks forcefully

(15:25):
about what Islam is all about and what's going on
in parts of this country. He's sounding the alarm. I'll
let you listen to some of that before the week's over.
But we should you know what legal immigrants in this
country should do. It should be waking up every morning

(15:47):
saying what can I do to become more American? Meaning
to assimilate, to learn the language, to be part of
the cultures of this nation, the culture of this nation.
Twenty seven minutes past the hour.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Forget to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Don't forget told them, don't forget.
We're just reminding them. What do you want from me?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Just leave me alone?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven Double USLA or on NewsRadio Double USLA
Panama City dot Com.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
All Right, I've got a I have to respond and
share this email. Holly writes, sim he gave me lots
of laughs talking about lutfisk. Yes, you were pronouncing it correctly, Okay.
Problem one, Holly, was I pronouncing it correctly by calling

(17:16):
it lutfisk or lutefisk, which is right? I mean the
the Minnesotan in me because I spent many important years
of my life in Minnesota, and I can go into
that accent, as many of you know, at the drop
of a hat. I want to say lutafisk because that's

(17:41):
what I would want to say. So which is it?
Number one? She said, I come from a family of
Swedes that, yes, every Christmas Eve, the whole clan would
eat dinner at our house. What was on the menu?
All food Swedish, Swedish meatball, Swedish sausage, and yes, lutefisk. Jose,

(18:05):
you might have your invitation. Jose so badly wants to
have some. He's looking to just going to the grocery
store buying some fish and putting some dawn dish soap
on it. Just see what that's like. My grandparents, aunts,
uncles and my parents loved it. They used to serve
it with cream sauce, I'm sure to hide the taste.

(18:29):
As a child, my dad would make me eat one
large tablespoon of this gelatine fish. I was told I
wasn't a sweet if I didn't have at least one spoonful.
I'm sure many would think that was child abuse. I
guess that was my parent's only fault. I had a
great childhood. Two side notes. None of our dogs would
touch the stuff that tells you everything you need to

(18:52):
know about it. And I still buy it for my
mother who will be ninety five. She loves it and
makes it her Christmas holid well ninety five and doing
the loot fisk huh Okay. When she passes, it will
be one holiday tradition that will be discontinued. We will, however,

(19:14):
keep all the other Swedish dishes for Christmas. Eve, have
a fabulous day. Thank you for all you do. Holly,
that's the best. Thank you, And Holly listening to us
from Equipment Georgia. Quipment Georgia has a Swede living there
and they probably don't even know it Swedish Southerner. That's fun,

(19:39):
I mean, just that's fun. Holly. That's the best. Thank you.
I appreciate you. Sharing that. But clarify for me whether
it's loot fisk or luta lut the fisklut the fisk.
That's just I don't know anyway. All right, big stories
in the press box. With one minute here, let's see
if I can get all three headlines at least. In Florida,

(20:02):
Judge US District Judge Rodney Smith has granted the Justice
Departments expedition expedited motion to unseal the materials from the
Southern District of Florida in the UH federal grand jury
report on the sex trafficking probe of Jeffrey Epstein from
two thousand and six. So the judge said, yes, the

(20:24):
material lests. We released President Trump twelve billion dollars in
farm subsidies. I hate subsidies. I love this. I know,
I know, I know, I know. Yell at me, scream
all you want. We need to do this. And Massachusetts

(20:44):
has allowed boys to compete in girls' sports for years,
by the way, about a decade. The damage it's done.
Let me just give this to you. I have the
list courtesy of a group called he Cheated, an organization

(21:04):
that's now watching all this stuff and chronicling it. Boys
have stolen awards and opportunities. Over two hundred high school
awards meant for girls have gone to boys. Listen, listen.
Boys have won over seven hundred and forty high school
girl competitions and fifty seven state championships. Don't tell me

(21:32):
it doesn't matter. Forty minutes past the hours that fits,
doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Ever, you may be from Florida Sunshine State to Washington State.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, No, not Washington.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Sorry, Washington's also hopeless for crying out loud? Is this
the only bastion of physical wealth and mindset goodness?

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
And this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
You know I didn't win a bunch of titles, awards
or anything when I was a high school athlete. I
was a good athlete, not a great one. But I'll
tell you what, if my daughter were robbed of a

(22:36):
state championship, a state title, there is no limit to
the legal avenues I would pursue to find a way
to restore that title rightfully to my daughter. Fifty seven

(22:58):
state titles in gymnastics in high school gymnastics in Massachusetts.
Get this, A boy has won the vault every year,
the girl's vault since twenty seventeen. How could a judge

(23:24):
allow for that. Judges I would think would have enough
decency to say, no, we're not going to judge a
young man. This is a girls competition. I remember getting

(23:44):
an email last year. I'm so tired of you talking
about the transgender thing. I can't listen to it anymore
with my kids. I've got to listen to something else.
And that's why it's happening, because too many people don't

(24:08):
give a crap. Well, all my kids are grown, so
have grandchildren. See, I have three granddaughters. This matters. Amy

(24:29):
Curtis writing in town Hall about Tammy Baldwin, the Wisconsin
US Senator. We're going to talk to US Senator Rick
Scott at the bottom of the third hour of the
program today. I keep telling you that climate change, Obamacare.
Obamacare was never about affordable healthcare. It was about government
power and control of your health care. It's always about

(24:54):
when the left enacts legislation, it is always about exerting
control over your life. And if you have any intellectual
honesty at all, and you're a Democrat, and you step
back and look at the legislation, it is all about
putting a harness on you. It's not about freedom. Socialism

(25:22):
is at is anti freedom. So Tammy Baldwin, the US Senator,
to me, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, Republican
or independent. I want you to have health care you
can afford. My colleagues need to join me. The people

(25:42):
who voted them in are crying out for help. Remember
when she's arguing to bring the subsidies for COVID through
that were underwey, that were existing during COVID to keep
bring those subsidies back, keep buying down healthcare. Do you
remember when Democrats rallied against corporate welfare. Corporations needed to

(26:10):
pay their fair share. Isn't it interesting how that disappears
when it comes to healthcare because they're handing billions over
to insurance companies and oh, by the way, some of
them fraudulent. And the question becomes, as was pointed out

(26:30):
by someone who posted on her website or on her
social media, then why did you pass Obamacare without reading it?
You remember the famous line of Nancy Pelosi, what about
the bill, this, that, and the other. Well, we have
to pass it to know what's in it. What the
heck was that? That's the truth is what that was,

(26:53):
and that's where we are. Obamacare is a train wreck
and prices have skyrocketed because of it. Bring competition in that.
The purpose of our visit with Rick Scott is to
talk about healthcare. That's what we're going to talk about
one hundred percent, So we'll bring up what Tammy Baldwin

(27:14):
had to say as well. Forty seven minutes past the hour,
it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Started counting his shows at the beginning because we weren't
really quite sure how long he'd last. Yeah, now it's
just turned into a thing. Welcome to the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well, in the first thirty five minutes of the program,
Jose mentioned FSU soccer winning the national title four times,
but if you're not listening in the Tallassee area, you
would have missed that. So, as a massive supporter of

(28:11):
FSU women's soccer have been for many years, I've shared
the story how I got yelled at by a viewer
of my television sports cast for not covering FSU women's
soccer back in the day, And that was when Patrick
Baker started the program and I got torched. Some lady

(28:32):
whose daughter played on the team. But in my defense,
that was when FSU played their matches on Friday night.
They played Friday Sunday. Now they play Thursday Sunday, and
Friday was high school football. And so do you do.

(28:53):
I only have so many videographers I can send around,
and back in those days, I actually was allowed to
use the news videographers. If there wasn't breaking news, my
news guys would go and shoot high school football. Well
after I got torched, yelled at, I started covering women's soccer,

(29:15):
and I'm glad I did. It was great to get
to know Patrick, and then I was I'd like to
think a good friend with Mark Krekorian. Haven't gotten to
know Brian Penske very well. Had him on the show,
I think shortly after he got the gig. That's about it.

(29:36):
Of course, I've not really had many of the FSU
coaches on the program, Leonard Hamilton the exception of the
rural Sue Semurau for many years. But that's because I
personally knew them, not because of anything going on with
the sports information department. They just, for whatever reason, the
sports information department at FSU hates me. I can't I

(29:58):
can't explain it to you, I just blows my mind.
Maybe it's because I know their job better than they do,
because I've been around sports athletic department media since I
was literally thirteen years of age. I mean literally, I
worked with my dad. We syndicated a program that involved

(30:18):
high school or rather college and professional football, and I
got to know the SID departments across the country and
I know when they're run well and when they're not.
And I whatever, I you know, whatever, It's all right.
But back to the matter at hand. FSU Soccer wins

(30:39):
its third national title in the last five years. And
what's impressive to me is their record in finals is astounding.
They get to the final, they generally don't lose, and

(31:00):
so Brian Penske wins his second national title. FSU It's
fifth won nothing. They won it in the final three minutes. Stanford,
highest scoring team in the nation, held without a goal.
And you've got to give credit to FSU's goalie. I

(31:26):
need to make the time here to call her out
because she is the reason why Florida State won that match. Yeah,
the goal mattered, but Cato Keene, she was spectacular freshman goalkeeper,
spectacular nine saves, and some of those saves were goals.

(31:47):
She just did the unthinkable. So congratulations Florida State Seminal
Women's Soccer. Best football team in America. Okay, European football.

(32:17):
Let a little jingle settle in.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Morning.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Friends, Welcome to the second hour of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott's Ose. I am Preston and US Senator
Rick Scott will join us next hour. At the bottom
of the hour, Justin Haskins is a scratch. He is
not feeling well and apologized up and down and back
and forth. I said, brother, it is all good. You

(32:45):
take care of yourself, and so we will take a
rain check Justin. We'll be back with us after the
first of the year, with a fresh visit in January.
But what follows is not repeat. Is not the President

(33:05):
of the United States, but boy might as well be.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
My fellow Americans.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
It is my great honor, the greatest honor, to announce
and declare complete and total victory over the twenty twenty
five hurricane season. We had zero hurricanes in the Gulf
of America. Ever since we made the name change, I
got along very well with you. May have heard of
her mother Nature. You may have heard of her. She's

(33:34):
a tremendous person. I've known her for a long time
and we get along well. And I said to her,
if you said any hurricanes into our country, we're going
to hit you with tariffs the likes of which nobody's
ever seen before. We're going to tariff those storms at
one thousand, two thousand, three thousand percent. And she said, sir,
we're not going to send any hurricanes in.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
We made a beautiful deal.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Mother Nature a great person, but we had a lot
of it's called they call it wind shear. They call
it wind shear, and it ripped up the storms out
there before they can get to our country, ripped up
the storms worse than the Somalians are ripping up Minnesota.
You look at Ilhan, you look at the brother. Many
people are saying it she married her brother, and very

(34:18):
interesting if she did that, you know, it's a raw
deal for the brother. He divorced his first wife, which
was probably a goat, and wound up marrying a pig
in Ilhano mar she's a nasty person, very nasty. But
you had a lot of people talking about it. It's
an el Nina year, It's Alaninia year, you're gonna have hurricanes.
We deported El Nino and we deported La Nina too.

(34:41):
They were in our country illegally. We got rid of them,
and we had the greatest hurricane season the world has
ever seen.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
No hurricanes in the Gulf of America. We did a
tremendous job.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
So I wanted to thank Mother Nature for holding up
her under the bargain. She did a fantastic job and
we had a wonderful and safe Atlantic hurricane season. Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
How good is that? That is a guy, but the
name is Sean Farache farash Fa r a s H.
And I said, hey, I mean I reached out to
him and I said, can I use this? He said, absolutely,
go ahead, use it, use it on the show. First

(35:30):
of all, his delivery is pretty much perfect. And what
makes it better than anybody I've heard so far is
the subtleties, the rambling, the hyperbole, the cadence. He just

(35:52):
gets it right.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
One of the things that's interesting is there are people
that can just hear a voice and mimic it. I
can hear certain voices and mimic them. I did some
animation acting years ago for a Christian company doing full

(36:14):
length feature films that were on laser disc. It was
called Interlight Productions. And I did the lead on a
couple of their movies and did multiple characters in one
of their movies, and it was so much fun. But
that's different than mimicking somebody. And and I've just found

(36:36):
that you either have that sound just you. You've just
got something in you that you can then take and
twist and use to sound like somebody else. All I
know is this guy has got that voice down. That's
one of the that's the best I've heard. And that's

(36:59):
one of the funny little monologues I've ever heard in
my life. Mother Nature, great person. I mean, that's just
good content. Ten minutes past the hour. We've got to
help you with some shopping next here in the morning show.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Print in a positive way, improve the lives of others.
That's what this show is about. And this is the
Preston Scott Show.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
We've been trying to help you out here and give
you some shopping suggestions for the year, recognizing that not
all of you live in the immediate area. So while
for example, I mentioned first Kevin's it's Kevin's catalog that

(37:58):
I pushed out because you can shop it. I mean
people shop around the world. I've got the December catalog here.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
And.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I mean this is just incredible, the selection of gear
and things, tableware, dinnerware. I mean, it's just have you
ever seen it, Kevin's catalog. It's incredible. We've done seventeen
seventy six United dot com, Little Obsessed dot com, Mensgear

(38:28):
dot net, Signals dot com yesterday, Kingdom and Country dot Co.
Jose immediately went there. What was your reaction? Was I
right when I talked about it. It's it's just what
it does, how it does it. Oh yeah, good good website,
good good clothing items as well. I love the hoodies.

(38:48):
I mean, just the combination of faith and country and
it's there. I mean, there's no mistaking the message of
that husband and wife team. It's family owned and operate
a business. Love it today is one. It's a go
to that I've used for for several years now. And
I'll explain why it's called Uncommon Goods dot Com. Uncommon

(39:12):
Goods dot Com. Years ago I got one of their
catalogs and it's a small little thing, and I was
so intrigued because though not every item is a made
in the USA thing, a lot of them are. They're

(39:33):
curated from people that literally are making whatever it is themselves.
It's it's their work, hence the title Uncommon. I don't
know if there's much of any of this stuff you'll
ever find in a store, but the website uncommon goods

(39:57):
dot com it's broken down. They've got stocking stuffers, they've
got Christmas, they've got gifts, they've got interests. Break it
down by interests, men, women, kids, kitchen and bar, home
and garden, jewelry, corporate gifts, experiences. I've not seen the experiences.
It's that all about, Okay, painting classes, knife skills, olive

(40:29):
oil and bisolmac vinegar, how to make I guess whatever,
pickling classes, doggy massage therapy workshop, your love story, map
making class where you and your spouse learn how to

(40:50):
put a map together, journaling your travels, the things you've done,
whatever I mean, and some of it's like yeah, whatever,
astrology but it's crazy. But back to the goods, there's
just there's such a unique, eclectic mix of things at

(41:10):
every price point in the world. So if you're looking
for something different. Now understand, as we're getting to this timeframe,
you might be paying for extra shipping to get it
by Christmas. I can't speak to that. At the very least,
file it away as a shop to go back to
for birthdays and special occasions. I go here all the

(41:34):
time because I find some I sent my brother something
from this this year that I've given to some of
my kids over the years. It's a spice kit hand
curated spices that are put together in a little fold
open kit for dipping with olive oil and your favorite

(41:56):
crusty bread. And so they give you like a recipe,
grab this, this, this, and put it with olive oil
and then enjoy with with your favorite bread. It's incredible.
It comes out of the male smelling like oh so good.

(42:17):
So check it out uncommon gooods dot com twenty one
minutes past the hour President of the United States knows
that you know. The media hates him. Democrats hate him more,

(42:44):
Republicans hate him maybe the third most. Or it goes
like this, most hate comes from Democrats, leftists, illiberals, followed
by the mainstream media, followed by Republicans. Republicans hate him,
not all, some like me. We just we bite our lip,

(43:08):
we grind our teeth over some of what he says
and does. But we are infinitely better off with Donald
Trump as president. That said, his approval ratings are tanking
because of affordability. That is the wedge that's being used

(43:31):
sadly because Republicans are so bad at messaging. I know,
broken record, right they are. If Republicans were smart, they
would sit down with people like me. I'm just saying
like me, not me, people like me, people that do

(43:54):
messaging for a living, and they would say, what do
we need to do better? My first answer would be better,
how about what you need to do? Because it's not
about doing it better, you're just you don't do it.

(44:15):
You don't message, you don't explain to people why an
economy works or doesn't work, why prices are what they are.
What led to that? And here's part of the reason
why I've come to this conclusion. Part of the reason

(44:35):
why they don't want to do it is because some
of the blame for it will come right back on
their onto their feet. Now if they were, if they
were really smart, they would say, yep, you're right, we
got to own it. Far too long. We've been Sissy's.
We've allowed this country to get bullied by ideals and

(44:57):
philosophies that just are wrong headed and don't work. So
here's what we're going to do to fix it. Admit
your fault and set a path, be bold and say
it and teach it and explain it. Not to win elections,
but because the ideas work and they're right. For example,

(45:17):
I've got a story here about the new real estate
reality what one guy says is the biggest housing shift
in fifty years, and it's because it's nobody's market. It's
not a buyer's market. It's not a seller's market. It's neither.
Wealthy Americans aren't picking one home, they're picking multiple. They're

(45:42):
just picking multiple places to live. But that doesn't apply
to most people, not at all. It is an affordability
thing that is going on across the board. It ties
to the forced minimum wage increases. It ties to this

(46:12):
decades long push to college education, college education, college education
and minimizing the value of vocational education, pushing kids into
trigger doometry that don't know consumer math, pushing kids into
ridiculous courses when they don't even understand English. We should

(46:42):
be finding ways to get people into homes that don't
involve a fifty year mortgage. For God's sake, that's just stupid.
The property tax that's a winning issue here in Florida
for young for young homeowners to winning issue if you

(47:04):
connect it to making a home more affordable. A lot
of home payments are pi TI, principal interest taxes and insurance.
Imagine if you're reining in the insurance quotient, Imagine now
you're taking the tax payment out of that. Well, you're
dropping your payments by two to three to four one

(47:26):
hundred dollars a month. That's money out of your payment,
you're not paying it, and you go further into a
consumer math or a consumer based economy. Consumption taxes the
best way to do it. But the affordability issue is

(47:52):
one that's not going to go away because the last
four years we're going to pay a price for quite
a while, if not permanently, for electing Joe Biden and
putting Democrats in charge of the economy. And that's the
danger of what's coming in the next year. Guess what
midterms are next year? Midterms are now eleven months away,

(48:18):
twenty seven minutes passing Christmas.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Listen just to hear what he's going to say next
the morning, Joe at Preston Scott on news radio one
hundred point seven WSLA, and we're back.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
Second half of the program an hour from now. US
Senator Rick Scott will join us. Who else is saying
that in local radio these days? Exactly good to have
you with us this morning on the program is Jose.
I'm Preston.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Justin Haskins under the weather, will not be able to
join us. I assured him there was no lacking of
things to talk about. It's quite all right. You get
to sleep, young man, and so we'll we'll circle back.
If you have not heard the news, giant praise report
to share we have reached and surpassed our goal for

(49:22):
Orphan Shade. So thank you all of you who participated
and took part, those of you who prayed for us.
And that was one of the things Jay shared. He said,
I got notes from people who just said, we're praying
for you, We're praying for the girls, We're praying for
Orphan Shade. Thank you. If you're not able to give

(49:45):
and can pray, pray now we're praying about those eight
girls because this home is going to get built this year, well,
twenty twenty six, all thanks to you. We surpassed the
goal of fifty five thousand dollars because of you. In fact,
the number we got last night from j fifty five

(50:07):
and eighty one dollars. So praise God. That's going to
buy land, that's going to build a house, that's going
to furnish the house for eight girls, and a mother
and a father that are going to take these girls
on as their own, a husband and wife. And so
thank you, just thank you. Now the big stories in
the press box. Judge orders the release of the Epstein

(50:29):
grand jury transcripts from the two thousand and six sex
trafficking investigation. What will that bring who knows. I personally
think some people other than Michelle, they're Gizlane or Gizlane,

(50:51):
Maxwell and the late Jeffrey Epstein need to be in
prison for this stuff. I think there's some other people
that should be in jail. But I'm also not in
favor of ruining the lives of people that are witnesses.
So we'll see where that leads. President of the United
States announcing twelve billion dollars in farm made subsidies. Let

(51:11):
me break this down for you real quickly. First, I
hate subsidies. I'm okay with this because American farmers need it.
We've been destroying American farmers with our trade and tear
of policies. We've been hurting American farmers by favoring big farm,

(51:34):
big agriculture, and foreign owned land, like the Chinese buying
up our farmland, like Bill Gates buying up our farmland
so it isn't farmed. When you buy up land and
eliminate the purpose of farming, you immediately raise the price
of farmland. Does that make sense? You're removing from the

(51:56):
marketplace large tracts of farmland and Bill Gates doesn't want
it farmed. Now does he change his mind because he's
no longer a climate change fanatic? We'll see eleven of
the twelve billion will focus on roe crop farmers, those
who grow corn, soybean, wheat, cotton, and rice. The remaining

(52:20):
one billion focuses on fruit and specialty crops and livestock.
You you might need to spend more money on the
latter category. And then in Massachusetts, I shared these numbers
that were chronicled and documented by an organization called he Cheated.

(52:44):
I love it In Massachusetts, seven and forty high school
girls competitions have been won by boys and fifty seven
state championships since they started allowing boys to compete. Ass
That is one of the most shameful set of numbers,

(53:05):
and that's why I wanted to share it. That's why
I think it's a big story, because I think it's shameful.
Forty minutes past the hour, enjoy.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
In show with Preston Scott, Do or do not?

Speaker 7 (53:18):
There is no try on News Radio one hundred point
seven Double UFLA.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Are you ready for this? Florida State's five and seven
football team, not the soccer team European version of football
that won the national title last night? Go Knowles unconquered
statue gets lit up. I think tonight you'll have a

(53:59):
little ceremony, a little gathering at the More Center. Way
to go Knowles. Now, the five and seven football team
declined a bowl invitation. Here's what's happening. Because so many

(54:21):
schools are declining bowl games, the Bowls have had to
resort to inviting teams with losing records. Florida State, Auburn, UCF, Baylor, Rutgers, Temple,

(54:45):
and Kansas all declined invitations. According to on three Sports,
Notre Dame declined to play in a bowl game at
all because they believe they should be in the playoff.
Boo who Miami pushed ahead of them? Not sure that

(55:10):
was just I'm not I'm not sure Miami should have
pushed ahead of them, but whatever. Kansas State Iowa stayed.
Both declined mid coaching changes and the questions of availability
of players, and so with no more six and six
teams available for bowls, they had to turn to five
and seven teams. See this is the bowl season. I

(55:32):
wrote this down. Both season's over what we know and
remember as being a reward for a good football season
is done. I don't know why they don't just put
a bullet in the head of the bowl system. Just
shoot it, be done with it, put it out of
its misery, and let's just go to a college football playoff,

(55:56):
a full blown playoff. You can do it with with
sixteen teams. I've long advocated a sixteen team to playoff
where the top eight no buys, none of this nonsense,
none of this subjectiveness. They all play. You could argue

(56:18):
thirty two teams, but then you'd have to shorten the season.
You'd have to take a game away from the season
as it is. It's it maybe is one game too
long with a sixteen team playoff, But here's how the
playoff would have worked that I have long advocated for
your top eight seeds play at home. They host the

(56:44):
first round. Think about that home field advantage, packed stadiums.
No one asked to travel unless you're the opponent. So
be it. Play better if you want to be a
top eight seed. Then but you're in the playoff, you
got a chance top eight seeds, and then your final

(57:05):
eight you break up into the bulls. Your first round
losers go to the other bowl games against teams that
deserve to be there. You have fewer bowls, eight different
bowl games there because each of the teams that got

(57:25):
knocked out in the first round, those first teams that lost,
they are each in a bowl game against a team
that didn't make the playoffs. There's your bowl game, there's
your bowl season. So you take the major bowls, you
use them for your your quarterfinals, in semi finals, and final.

(57:47):
Or you can do what you know. You can have
a host city. I think moving the national title game
to different cities makes a lot of sense. To me
that if you want to keep any semblance of a
bowl season, this is what you have to do. And
I wish that the NCAAA, I wish the College for
ESPN would just pick up the phone and call me,
because I could just sit down in thirty minutes and say, guys,

(58:10):
here's how you fix it, and you fix it. It's done,
problem solved. All right, We're gonna move on to a
manly minute next here on the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Come to the m a d Radio Network, where we
challenge you to make a difference in your world in
a positive way, improving the lives of others. It's the
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Time for a manly minute. Here on the Morning Show
with Presidon Scott. Remember mail by birth, man by choice,
not surrendering that to the woke crowd. What do you
mean man by choice? See, it's a choice to be man.
It's a choice to be a man. It's not a

(59:16):
choice to be male. Wake up goons, Come on, all right,
here we go. These are skills, tips, ideals, virtues to
teach your son. You ready in the spirit of in
the spirit of the last story, and because we are

(59:38):
at the zenith of the NFL season. I know I
have my problems with it too, but we still have
more college football to be played. Teach your son football,
and I'm going to explain why it is not so
that he'll learn to love the team that you love

(59:59):
or want to just sit down and you know, watch
football with his hand in his shorts, you know, sticking
in his waistband watching football and eating peanuts. No, this
is this is about a cultural thing that most guys
know and understand. They know and understand the game of

(01:00:19):
football most and if you don't, you are at a
cultural disadvantage. This is it is not important for your
son to make football his favorite sport in the world.
It's about making sure your son understands enough about the
game so that when his buddies inevitably talk about football,

(01:00:44):
he doesn't sound like a goober. He sounds like he's
got a little knowledge of the game. So as early
as possible, introduce your son to the game of football,
even to the point of tossing around a football in
the backyard. Start with a nerfball so it doesn't get scared.

(01:01:07):
First time you jam a finger, it is not fun.
And some kids it's like, no, I don't want to
that hurt. You start with a nerve football, then you
advance to a small little But the bottom line is
you're teaching your son about the game. Good luck explaining
first downs. But aside from that, it's why do they

(01:01:31):
why is it worth seven points? I don't know, son,
that's just what they give for a score. A touchdown,
step six points and then the extra point. But then
you have to explain the two point option. You know
what I'm saying. There's a lot to the game of football.
It's like it's like learning the English language, but it
is so important. Think of it this way. We challenge

(01:01:54):
you legal immigrants to assimilate right, to learn about the culture.
To learn the language, you then can assimilate into the culture.
Teach your son the language of football, so we can
assimilate into the football culture. Perhaps one day his future wife.

(01:02:16):
When they first meet, we'll say, Hey, dad's got some
people coming over to watch the game. He wants you
to come over and watch the game with him. You
don't want your son to freak out and cost him
a wife. You want him to say, sounds like a
playing dear, I'll be there, and then think of the

(01:02:36):
joy and the Pride. You'll have no one he can
talk the talk about the game of football. So there
you go. There's your manly minute here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. By the way, as we end
the hour, if you have not heard, we have reached
our goal. We have surpassed our goal for Orphan Shade,
so thank you. I'll just encourage you to get on

(01:02:57):
their mailing list, learn about it if you want to
support it anyway. There's always needs and they will be
looking for people to support one of the eight girls
that'll be in home number six, so check it out
at Orphanshade dot com, Orphanshade dot com. And again a
heartfelt thank you to all of you who took part

(01:03:19):
in are praying for the success of what they do there.
All right, Justin Haskins was going to join us. He
will not. He's more under the weather than I've been.
So when you come back our number three of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Third hour of the Morning

(01:03:54):
Show with Preston Scott, it is Tuesday at seventh and
ninth show, fifty five oh nine. Great to be with
you friends. He is Jose, I am Preston, Justin Haskins
unable to join us today. He is taken sick and
sent me a note late last night that I saw
this morning saying I am so sorry, but we understand

(01:04:17):
those things happen. So we'll get back with justin first
of the year tomorrow, Doctor Bob McLure. At bottom of
the hour, US Senator Rick Scott will join us. We
will talk about the healthcare crisis that's in our country,
but forst some other stories to talk about. This is
beginning to make the round story of involving a man
named Michael Virgil, thirty five years of age, boarded a

(01:04:40):
Royal Caribbean cruise line last year. A year ago at
this time, on the thirteenth of December, Navigator of the
Seas in Los Angeles, four day cruise to Ensinata, Mexico,
longtime fiance their young son, who has autism on board.

(01:05:04):
According to the complaint, yes there's a legal lawsuit involved here,
the family was directed to a bar with live music
because their cabin was not ready. That's not unheard of, though,
I'm really you let passengers on board the ship, but
the cabin wasn't ready. I thought that was the whole

(01:05:26):
point of a day in between never mind. As they waited,
the seven year old son grew a little restless. Some
kids with autism, you gotta just stay busy. You can't
just be sitting, and so he and the mom went
to check on the room. Thirty five year old Virgil

(01:05:50):
was left alone. Suit claims that within hours of the
ship's departure, crew members had served him third thirty three
alcoholic beverages. It became intoxicated and then tried to find
their cabin, their their room on board the ship and

(01:06:12):
could not and it became a big deal, as in
ship security had to be called because he was attempting
to get into rooms that weren't his. They eventually had
to tackle and restrain him. The complaint says that, at
the direction of the staff captain, the crew injected him

(01:06:35):
with a sedative and used three cans of pepper spray.
He's a very large man, I should say large, tall,
and big, as in morbidly obese big. The suit says
the combination of restraints, sedative use, and pepper spray caused

(01:06:58):
significant hypoxia, impaired ventilation, respiratory failure, cardiovascular instability, and ultimately
cardiopulmonary arrest. The guy died. A medical examiner later ruled
the death a homicide and wrote to that effect on

(01:07:20):
his coroner's report. So they're suing the ro Caribbean. I
watched video, the last video of the man alive. There
is no doubt that his condition played a role. But

(01:07:43):
there's also no doubt that in this case, it would
seem the staff injecting him with a sedative. What are
you thinking. We'll see how this plays out in court.

(01:08:04):
My hunch is Royal Caribbean, when it's all said and done,
is going to settle for a significant sum of money.
They'll argue that that sum should be lessened by the
virtue of the fact that this guy was morbidly obese
and that contributed to his death as well. And I
would guess that that would be somewhat of an accurate statement.

(01:08:29):
But thirty three drinks, if they can corroborate that, good nis.
But at the same time, where does personal responsibility come
in that we're into play here anyway, It's one of
the stories out there in the news ten past the hour.

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Back.

Speaker 7 (01:08:58):
He's always been a white guys, right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
We got it Licensed to talk nine to noon on WFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Bless you doubt my skills at helping you shop at Christmas.
I got a note here from Clint. I went to
Uncommon Goods and found two awesome Christmas gifts in mere minutes.
Thanks for the tip. You're welcome. That's what I do.

(01:09:38):
I help. I'm wearing my Christmas sweater today, by the way,
looking very k kringlish. For those of you that might
have missed the news, FSU soccer wins a national title.
And because we're getting a call or two about this,
you FSU soccer fans, FSU may welcome the team back

(01:10:03):
to the airport approximately two o'clock this afternoon. You can
arrive at one thirty, but not the general aviation airport
as in commercial where the you know you fly in
and out. This is the FBO Millionaire million air where
the private planes come and go. That's where the charter
flight will be coming in and so arrive at one thirty.

(01:10:28):
They'll arrive approximately at two. There will be a lighting
of the Unconquered Spear the statue at five, followed by
a ceremony at the Dunlap Champions Club beginning at five thirty.
There will be photo opportunities, light food and beverages available,
got a chance to take a photo with the national

(01:10:48):
championship trophy. That's what I'm talking about right there, So
go Knowles. Now, seriously, congratulations to the FSU women's soccer program.
It is the most dominant women's soccer program in the nation.
Patrick Baker started the program, Mark Krekorian took it to

(01:11:08):
new levels. And now Brian Penske winning his second national
title in what four years? Maybe no, I mean you
tip of the cap man five national titles and when
they get to the finals, they tend to win it.
So congratulations to the seminal soccer team. This story just

(01:11:36):
cracked me up. Jose probably has never heard the name.
Philip Rivers played football at NC State. Is one of
the great NFL quarterbacks ever. Loves Jesus, has four thousand children.

(01:11:59):
He's forty four Grandpa. I mean he and his wife
got started quick. But get this. He retired in twenty twenty.
He started sixteen games for the Indianapolis Colts that year.
He played most of his career in San Diego with

(01:12:21):
the Chargers, which would become the LA Chargers. He was
thirty nine when he retired. That year, they were eleven
and five, he passed for forty one hundred yards, twenty
four touchdowns just eleven interceptions. He had a year at
thirty nine, the most awkward throwing motion in the world.

(01:12:44):
But that guy was a tank in the pocket. You
couldn't bring him down. Big guy, and he could talk
a little trash. He's a but always good natured, never profanity. Well,
indian n Appolis has a problem. Daniel Jones, their starting quarterback,

(01:13:07):
ruptured in achilles tendon over the weekend. He's done. Their
backup quarterback Riley Leonard, who played at Duke then transferred
to Notre Dame. He's injured and likely not able to
play this weekend. So their third string quarterback is a
journeyman named Brett Rippon. His dad played in the NFL.
Mark Rippon. Well, Philip Rivers is on an airplane flying

(01:13:35):
in Indianapolis, and they're going to give him a physical
and see if he wants to play a little more football.
Forty four years of age, may come out of retirement
and suit up and play this weekend. Why he knows
the offense Allegedly, he's still in good enough shape. He's
serious enough about it that he's on an airplane he's

(01:13:58):
flying there. I, for one, I am all in on
watching Philip Rivers because he could throw the magic bean,
he could hit his targets, and I think it would
be awesome storyline. They got to go to Seattle and
play one of the best teams in the league. Indianapolis
is one of the best teams in the league. So

(01:14:20):
this is this is this is made for TV drama
right here, cannot wait seventeen past the hour getting ready
for US Senator Rick Scott at the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 7 (01:14:33):
FLA at WFLA FM dot com, on your phone with
the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos and Iheart's radio station.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
So torn this is perfect music for my dilemma. I mean, listen,
doesn't it sound dramatic? And I have a dilemma. I
have a pickle. Do I reset the big stories in

(01:15:13):
the press box knowing that I have US Senator Rick
Scott coming, or do I play one more time the
Trump impersonator recognizing that many of you did not hear
that last hour, and I think that's the way to go.

(01:15:37):
I am going to try to get him on the show,
whether he agrees to do it or not, and whether
he wants that level of it, I don't know. It's
not like being on my show is going to change
his life. It's just me. It's just us. You know.

(01:15:57):
We're that group that hangs out and watches football together
or sits around and just talks about stuff while we're
grilling some food. This is just, to me, the best
Trump impersonation I have ever heard. There are people that

(01:16:20):
can do it well. I can't. I would probably get
better at it if I took the time, because generally
I can mimic certain voices. If the tambore of the
voice is similar to mine, I can get there. But

(01:16:42):
there are just some voices that people can do that
others can't. And this guy not only sounds like Trump,
the way he sounds like Trump is better than anybody else.

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
Fellow Americans, it is my great honor, the greatest honor,
to announce and declare complete and total victory over the
twenty twenty five hurricane season. We had zero hurricanes in
the Gulf of America. Ever since we made the name change,
I got along very well with You may have heard

(01:17:20):
of her mother Nature. You may have heard of her
she's a tremendous person. I've known her for a long
time and we get along well. And I said to her,
if you said any hurricanes into our country, we're gonna
hit you with tarifs the likes of which nobody's ever
seen before. We're going to tariff those storms at one thousand,
two thousand, three thousand percent. And she said, sir, we're

(01:17:43):
not gonna send any hurricanes.

Speaker 5 (01:17:44):
And we made a beautiful deal.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Mother Nature a great person, but we had a lot
of it's called they call it wind shear. They call
it wind shear, and it ripped up the storms out
there before they can get to our country, ripped up
the storms worse than the Somalians are ripping up minutes.
You look at Ilhan, you look at the brother. Many
people are saying it she married her brother, and very

(01:18:08):
interesting if she did that, you know, it's a raw
deal for the brother. He divorced his first wife, which
was probably a goat, and wound up marrying a pig
in Ilhanomar. She's a nasty person, very nasty. But you
had a lot of people talking about it. It's an
el Nina year, it's a Ilaninia year.

Speaker 5 (01:18:25):
You're gonna have hurricanes.

Speaker 4 (01:18:26):
We deported El Nino and we deported Lanina too.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
They were in our country illegally.

Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
We got rid of them, and we had the greatest
hurricane season the world has ever seen.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
No hurricanes in the Gulf of America. We did a
tremendous job.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
So I wanted to thank Mother Nature for holding up
her under the bargain. She did a fantastic job and
we had a wonderful and safe Atlantic hurricane season. Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
There you go, and like I said, that is just
if you played that for somebody, they think it was Trump.
That's why I had to make sure there was a
disclaimer there. That is not artificial intelligence. That is a
dude named Sean Farrash far Ash. I have posted this
on my x page at TMS Preston Scott so you

(01:19:19):
can share it with all of your friends and have
a good laugh. All Right, we come back us. Senator
Rick Scott will join us for a few minutes and
we're going to talk about healthcare, something he knows a
little bit about, and we're going to talk about his
plan to try to help and make it affordable healthcare.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
You are listening on an old radio in your car,
work truck, or streaming on one of those other thingies.
Thanks for joining us. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Welcome friends, final half hour, the program for the day,
thirty five past the hour. It is a show fifty
five oh nine and I am pleased to add back
with us former Florida governor and now US Senator Rick Scott.
How are you a senator?

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
Oh? I'm good to Chiley up in DC. We're trying
to figure out how are we actually going to reduce
the cost of healthcare by fixing boluncare and are we
going to stop wasteful earmarks. That's what's on the agenda
this next two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Let's start with the Unaffordable Care Act because Obamacare has
been a train wreck. You and I both know it
was really designed to be that. It was never designed
to do anything but a certain control and try to
push us into a single payer system. So how do
you fix something that is so abjectly broken?

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Well, you start to stop and say, okay, what do
we Let's focus on what we care. I grew up
in a family that you know, my parents didn't have
money for health care. So when my brother had a
significant disease, nobody would take care of him in our town.
So my mom finally found a charity hospital about four
hours away that's super take him to. So we got

(01:21:25):
to give people health care. Now that's step one. How
do we get people health care? Now? Step two is
let's don't make people dependent on government, right? And step
three is how do we get this at a price
that you can afford? So how do you do that?
If you have a safety net, you say, okay, if
we're gonna help you, we're gonna give you cash, just
like we do food stamps, right, and then you're going

(01:21:48):
to buy health care because we know you'll spend the
dollars better than if we give it to an insurance
company or somebody else. And we're not gonna we're not
gonna have you know, insurance company right the rules or
government right the rules. You probably know what's best for
your family. So I've got to build that basically does that.
But the money, if we're going to if we're going
to subsize you because you know your income you can't

(01:22:09):
afford it, then we're going to give you cash. You're
going to go buy what you want.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
To buy.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
You can buy directed in health care, that's called healthcare.
Not getting healthcare insurance with the ten thousand dollars deductible
is probably not healthcare because you might not be able
to afford that ten thousand dollars. So you're going to
be able to buy healthcare directly. You're going to be
able to buy a plan. You're going to be able
to pay co payments, deductibles, and then. But we're not
going to make people depend If you're making five hundred

(01:22:37):
thousand dollars a year, we're not going to subsize your healthcare.
It's not right. We're not going to ask somebody making
twenty bucks an hour is paying their taxes to pay
for somebody's rich, rich person's health care plan. So that's
what we should be doing. And we didn't need the
industand needs to start telling us prices. When I when
I was in when I I did a lot of

(01:22:58):
stuff in healthcare. Built the largest hospital, come and build
their urgent care company, my urgent care company. All the
prices are up on the wall. Walk in, and you
know exactly what things are costing. You should know what
costs to go to a hospital. You should know we'll
get cost to go to a doctor. There are all
the prices ought to be up there. You are to
know I want that. I don't want that. That's too expensive.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Should everybody have some skin in the game, even if
it's five dollars. Should everybody, even if they're getting some help,
still have some skin in it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
They have to. Here's because here's what when they don't.
Here's what happens what Biden did during his year when
he did these extended subsidies. No, they'll need them to
put up any money. So we probably have somewhere between
four and six million people in this country right now.
They're paying nothing. They might not even know they have
the insurance because guess what, you know, rogue agents and

(01:23:52):
the rogue insurance companies could sign you up. If they
just knew your your name, your birthday, and your ZIP
and where you lived, it could sign you up. Then
there's millions people and the money goes directly to an
insurance company. You don't even know you have coverage. So
if people don't have skin in the game, it's called fraud. Right,
everybody has to you know, it has to pay something,

(01:24:16):
Like I want people to get healthcare. I don't want fraud.
I mean, we have an impressed We've got two trillion
dollar year deficits going on right now. How can we
be subsidizing people making five hundred thousand dollars a year
it could be millionaires. How can we subsidize their health care?
He sounds nice. I don't get how we think we

(01:24:37):
can do that, Like, who's money? Yeah, man, you're going
to borrow more money to do that. This stuff's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
Yeah, that's part of the problem. Centator. As you well know,
people just think that the government just has this money. Well,
it's our money, it's all of our tax money. It's
that's the only place that they get the money. We
got more to come with us, Senator Rick Scott. Forty
minutes past the hour here on the Morning.

Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
Show, you mayor of Realville. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Final a few minutes here with us, Senator
Rick Scott. Senator in the House, you've already got a

(01:25:20):
group of alleged Republicans that are waving a white flag
after the whole standing together on during the government shutdown
on this Obamacare subsidies stuff, expanding the subsidies again, they're
waving the white flag and then you've got colleagues like
Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin in essence doing the same. How

(01:25:42):
do you get any kind of I guess, momentum for
doing the fixes you're talking about when even people in
your own party and then colleagues in the Senate are
just fighting.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
Well, first off, every American's got to say what they want, right.
You know, we're elected, we represent people. So the people
that care about this stuff, they call your house members
and call your centers and say, if you think that
everything's free, then you call them and say, hey, look,
everything's free. I don't care if interest rates at flight,

(01:26:16):
inflation goes up, the cost of living goes up. I
just want my free stuff. You should do that. That's
what you believe. But if you're rational, you should say
I am not. It is not there that somebody making
two hundred and fifty or five hundred thousand dollars a
year gets subsidies from the federal gunments for healthcare. That
doesn't make sense. We have to buy. This is all

(01:26:38):
borrowed money, so as is think about this. We already
have thirty eight train dollars death. We already have a
train dollars of interesting in a year. Grocery prices aren't
coming down, gas prices, home prices, none of the stuff
comes down if we keep running deficits, because that's what
causes inflation. Right, So so it's I mean, maybe there's

(01:27:02):
some I mean, I don't know any other way to
do it. You got to just be vocal, say, I
am I didn't elect you, right, I didn't elect you
to bankrupt this country. I didn't elect you to take
care of a whole bunch of rich people. I elected
you to make my life better. I want less inflation, Okay,
I want safety nets. You don't need a safety net

(01:27:22):
for somebody making a half million dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
Why won't the RNC cobble together some resources which they
have in abundance of, along with some of the think
tanks that are conservative and reliable, and start messaging the
American people, not winning elections, not trying to win an election,
but to explain to people why Obamacare is killing us
and why some of these common sense solutions you're offering,

(01:27:48):
Senator will work. Why aren't we seeing that kind of
messaging just by the time on TV?

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
You know, you know, but you know all the other
the RNC. I mean, they're focused on winning elections, and
that's that's how that's just the mentality they have.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
But if they don't win the argument, they can't win
the election.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
Oh, I know, I agree that. You know, that's not
a bad idea. I didn't talked to Joe Gruder's but
the but you know person, this stuff is not that hard,
I know. I mean my parents, my parents. My mom
had a eleventh grade education, my dad had six year education.
They I remember when I remember under George W. Bush,
they gave they gave like the fifte hundred and fifty

(01:28:31):
dollars bonus checks to everybody. I'm all laughed, and she said,
that is the stupidest thing. We're gonna We're gonna turn
around the economy by by just giving each of u
one hundred and fifty bucks. Now, they gave it to
my brother, who unfortunate has passed away, And they didn't
give any to me because I was making too much money.
But they gave it to my brother who spent the
money on drugs. So, but because he wasn't making much money.

(01:28:52):
So and then remember when they did the crazy thing, Oh,
we're going to give you money if we'll if you'll
throw away your car something like this stuff, we can't.
Government has got to get out of our lives, not
do more stuff in our lives. We let's have a
safety in that. I mean I will. But the stuff
that what we're doing is causing everybody's cost health care

(01:29:13):
to go up. I mean, it's just like it's just
like Medicaid. The phederograph pays more for able bodied single
adults under the Medicaid program for somebody that's disabled. Why
what incentive does that create? I mean, you look at
this stuff, you think nobody in their right mind will

(01:29:35):
create a system like this. But you're right. There's a
lot of Democrats. All they want is they want government
to control every part of your life exactly, government to
make all your decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
And they have the not not poking at the president,
they have the Trump card. And the trump card that
government has is taxes. You know, if if if the
rest of us can't borrow any more money because the
bank says, sorry, you're leveraged too far, you need to
reduce your debt to obtain more credit, the government says,
screw that, will print more money, or we'll just tax

(01:30:06):
people more.

Speaker 3 (01:30:08):
Right, Well, it's always it's going to end. This is
not going to mean it's it's already happening. I mean,
inflation is not under control until we balance the budget.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Agree.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
But I know the president's busting is about to try
to get the costs down. I know he is. I mean,
I talked to him about it. He's doing it. Congress
controls the purse, not the president, and so so what
so what what Congress has to do is live within
our means. The President's all one. I mean I talked
about he would like to balance a budget. It's very

(01:30:42):
difficult when you have an administration, I mean a Congress
that doesn't care. They don't I mean, I mean, I'm
I'm like, I'm finding remarks. We are we are doing
We're giving in this appropriations package one hundred I think
one hundred and nine million dollars to Josh John Ossoff
of just stuff in this state that has no nexus

(01:31:04):
to federal problems. Non, why are we doing that?

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Why?

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
Why is that our job? Our job is to be responsible.
They're federal things we got to do take care of
for ohtaways and things like that. But local projects don't
make sense. I mean, why are we doing that when
we have Look you hear that, all the money in
the world you should do it, right, I mean, all
the billionaires and gazillionaires out there. Give your money away.
You ought to see. You can't take it with you anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
Our government doesn't have billions of dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
Well, they certainly spend like they do now, don't they.
Senator You're always good with your time. Thanks for making
it for us, and we'll talk again after the first
of the year. Have a great Christmas, you and your family,
all right, you do it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
